Feat: Add abctl configure bob enable/disable/status - #1149
Merged

Conversation
IBM Bob is a VS Code fork, so routing it through Cortex is the VS Code way: the "http.proxy" setting in its user settings.json. abctl could already point Claude Code at Cortex (a settings file) and make "bob" mean "abctl exec -- bob" in a shell (configure bobshell, an rc-file function), but not configure the Bob editor itself — so a Bob user had to find http.proxy and the CA trust step by hand. abctl configure bob enable # write the key, print the CA trust command abctl configure bob disable # remove it, print the optional undo abctl configure bob status # report, and act on nothing The proxy address and the CA path are read from ~/.cortex/config.yaml on every run, never hardcoded, so a moved forward_proxy_addr or ca_dir cannot produce a wrong printed command. enable/disable show the one-line change and prompt, keep a .bak, take --yes, and exit 3 when declined — the same convention as the two sibling agents. Certificate trust is printed, never performed. Installing a root CA is a machine-wide change needing sudo, and a tool that silently escalates to make it is not what anyone wants. The keychain commands name ca.crt, not the bundle.crt the request asked for. bundle.crt holds ~129 certificates and exists only for tools whose CA setting REPLACES the trust store (SSL_CERT_FILE and friends, per core/tlsbridge/bundle.go). The keychain is additive, so "add-trusted-cert -r trustRoot" on the bundle would install explicit machine-wide root trust for ~128 unrelated public CAs, and one "delete-certificate -c authbridge-tls-bridge-ca" would not take it back. The System-keychain + sudo form from the request is kept; only the file differs, and enable's message says so in a line. Ownership is decided by bobIsCortexProxy, a url.Parse check on host and port — deliberately not claude-code's isCortexValue, which is a strings.Contains. That looseness matches "http://corp.example.com/?next= 127.0.0.1:47600" and "localhost:47600.evil.example.com". In claude-code it fails safe, making enable refuse; here the same predicate feeds a delete, so the direction of failure inverts into silently removing someone's corporate proxy. Matching on structure rather than on the configured value also lets disable work when the config is gone, which is when a user uninstalling Cortex needs it most. This reverses part of rossoctl#1133, which removed "configure bob" reasoning that IBM Bob needs no configuring. That was right about the binary and wrong about the editor. TestConfigure_BobIsNoLongerAnAgent is deleted rather than adapted — its premise is gone — and replaced by tests pinning that the two agents are distinct and neither aliases the other. The README paragraph asserting the old judgment is rewritten for the same reason. Deliberately out of scope: http.proxyStrictSSL is not managed (it disables verification, the opposite of the CA step); there is no state file, so a pre-existing loopback proxy on a 476xx port is indistinguishable from ours and disable would remove it (the prompt names the value, and .bak is written); JSONC is refused rather than parsed, since stripping a user's comments to add one key is the wrong trade; non-macOS settings locations are not guessed, because writing into a file nothing reads is a silent no-op.

Four reported problems, all with tests that fail without the fix. 1. Ownership was a port-prefix match on "476", which claimed any loopback proxy in that block regardless of where Cortex actually listens. It now compares host AND port whole against listener.forward_proxy_addr from ~/.cortex/config.yaml, and reports liveness (a 300ms dial) as a separate axis — a stopped Cortex is the normal state of a laptop and is not a verdict on the setting. The predicate became three-state (bobNotOurs/bobOurs/bobUnknown) rather than a bool: an unreadable config cannot answer the question, and a bool forced a guess toward the direction that feeds a delete. bobNotOurs is the zero value so an unassigned value never authorises one. 2. The printed undo did not undo the printed change. enable prints `add-trusted-cert -d`, which writes ADMIN-domain trust settings; disable printed only `delete-certificate -t`, which per its own usage text removes the certificate and USER trust settings, leaving the admin-domain trust behind. disable now prints `remove-trusted-cert -d` (the documented inverse) followed by the delete, with the keychain named. 4. The suite proved bug 2 and passed anyway: one test asserted enable writes http://127.0.0.1:19999 while another asserted that same shape is not ours, and nothing round-tripped enable->disable off the 476xx block. The tests are rewritten for the ownership design above and now carry that round trip. Every assertion added here was mutation-verified (21 mutations, each caught by an assertion written for it). 5. enable promised a backup it did not always make. The note was one unconditional "a copy is kept as <path>.bak", but writeSettings writes one only when the file exists and no .bak is present. Three branches, three statements that are each true. README's bob section is updated where this made it stale: the two-command undo and the ownership description.

Second review round on `abctl configure bob`. Enable/disable no longer round-trip the settings file through writeSettings. json.MarshalIndent over a map[string]any sorts keys, normalizes indentation and explodes inline arrays, so adding one key alphabetized and reflowed the whole document — contradicting the "Nothing else in the file changes" line printed directly above the write. bobWriteKey splices a single member in or out of the original bytes instead, driven by json.Decoder offsets rather than a regex, and re-validates the result as JSON before the atomic rename. Backup and permission behaviour are unchanged. The existing preservation test could not have caught that: it compared through readSettings, which re-parses. Added byte-level tests on a non-alphabetized 4-space fixture — one line added and none removed on enable, byte-for-byte equality on an enable/disable round trip, no stray whitespace or doubled blank line after a removal, and the key name appearing inside a value or a nested object is not mistaken for the member. Status now leads with the verdict — "IBM Bob is configured to use the Cortex proxy" or the *NOT* spelling — with any liveness WARNING on the second line and the detail indented under both. It previously opened with the raw "http.proxy"= key and left the reader to derive the answer. The "Not run here" paragraph is gone. Liveness is probed only for a value this command claims or cannot judge, so a foreign corporate proxy is no longer reported as down.

Resolve symlinks before the temp-file rename.
os.Rename(tmp, path) replaces the directory entry at path. If settings.json is a symlink into a dotfiles repository, the rename replaces the link with a regular file. The repository copy stays unchanged, and the settings stop tracking it. Later disable runs then edit only the local file. The code comments name dotfiles repositories as the expected setup for this file (Lines 502-503), so symlinked settings files are a realistic case.
Resolve the target first. Then read, back up, write the temp file and rename in the resolved directory.

Four defects in `abctl configure bob`, all on the disable path's "is this value ours" decision or on the textual splice that removes it. 1. A settings.json with `http.proxy` twice is legal JSON, and both Go and VS Code take the last value. bobFindMember returned on the first match, so disable spliced out only that one and exited 0 claiming "IBM Bob no longer routes through Cortex" while Bob was still routed. bobFindMember now reports a duplicate as an error and all three verbs refuse by name rather than act on a file they cannot read unambiguously. The check is byte-level because readSettings decodes to map[string]any, which collapses a duplicate key before any caller can see it. 2. bobOwns ignored userinfo, so `http://user:secret@localhost:47600` was judged ours and disable deleted it, credentials included. A URL carrying credentials is not a value abctl would ever have written. 3. Only Hostname()/Port() were compared, so `.../proxy.pac`, `...?next=` and `...#frag` all passed as ours and were deleted. Path must now be "" or "/" (a hand-typed trailing slash stays removable) with empty RawQuery and Fragment. README already claimed a path cannot pass. 4. bobSpliceOut left a stray blank line or doubled space when the key shared a line with a neighbour, contradicting "Nothing else in the file changes" and the README's byte-for-byte claim. ownLine is now computed from both sides of the member, and the splice absorbs the separator it leaves behind.

Two review findings. 1. `disable --yes` could delete a foreign proxy. When the Cortex config is missing or unparseable, bobWanted returns an empty proxy address, so no port comparison happens at all and every loopback http proxy classifies as bobUnknown -- Squid on 3128, a corporate agent, a dev tunnel, not just Cortex's 476xx block. Reproduced: `disable --yes --config /nonexistent` silently removed "http.proxy": "http://localhost:3128". Interactively that is survivable, because the prompt prints the value and the user recognizes their own proxy. --yes removes exactly that safeguard, so the unattended path now refuses: exit 1, naming the value and both ways out (re-run without --yes, or pass a readable --config). The prompted path is unchanged -- it still removes the value after printing it and saying it is judging by shape alone, because the off switch has to keep working after Cortex is uninstalled. TestBobDisable_WithUnreadableConfig is narrowed from the unattended to the prompted path, which is where its claim now lives; the collision between the two requirements is documented in the test. 2. bobBackupNote's doc comment was attached to bobSetKey. A missing blank line made godoc render the backup-note prose as bobSetKey's documentation, while the real bobBackupNote had none.

Round 5 review fixes. Code: - enable and disable now refuse when the settings path is missing, empty, or holds only `null`: IBM Bob has not saved settings there, so a write would create a file nothing reads. Previously a null document was prompted for, written, and backed up first. status reports the Cortex status as unknown instead, naming which of the three it found. The probe is bob's own rather than a change to readSettings, which claude-code shares and which cannot tell null from absent — it coerces both to an empty map. This makes bobBackupNote's no-backup arm unreachable from either verb. It is kept, with a comment saying so: the note describes writeSettings truthfully for any path, and its own test still covers that arm. - bobAbsorbSeparator tested from == 0 after the src[:from-1] slice that would panic on it. Reordered. Unreachable today, which is why it is worth fixing before a new caller makes it reachable. - bobIsLoopbackProxy's doc comment described an ownership test. It is a shape test; bobOwns is what rules on ownership. Tests: - Cover bobSetKey's found-and-replace branch, which had none: a settings file naming localhost:47600 against a config deriving 127.0.0.1:47600 is ours by ownership but differs by spelling, so it splices rather than short-circuiting. Verified by replacing the branch body with a panic — the whole suite passed before this test existed. - Pin the new refusal across all three shapes and all three verbs, and pin that the three reasons stay distinguishable, so a --settings typo does not read as a working run against an unconfigured Bob. README: - disable did not remove "only when it matches": a loopback proxy with no comparable address is "cannot tell", which disable removes after asking (and refuses under --yes). Rewritten to describe the three answers rather than to claim a two-way match. - status does not degrade to trust-store guidance off macOS — bobVerifyNote returns nothing there. The claim was the wrong half of a true statement: enable and disable do carry that guidance. Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Ed Snible <snible@us.ibm.com>
Three fixes from review. bobSpliceOut panicked on valid JSON. It measured the member's line end forward from the KEY, so on `"http.proxy":\n "http://..."` — valid JSON, and what VS Code's own formatter produces on a long value — the first newline it found was inside the member, giving a line end below the value's end: `slice bounds out of range [79:46]`. `configure bob disable` died on a settings file that was never malformed, after printing that it was keeping a .bak (and having created it). Indexed from the value's end instead. Two exact-byte table rows cover it, straddling-and-last separately because the preceding-comma arm is reached after the crash site. Three comments credited writeSettings for the backup and atomic rename that bobWriteKey actually does. Corrected; the five references that name writeSettings as a contrast are left alone. README said the same thing and now names no internal function at all — verified by running both verbs with no tty: each prints the change and the .bak line before prompting, and a declined run leaves no .bak. Status told the user to run `enable` on a drifted loopback value, which enable refuses with exit 1 — ownership is an exact host+port match, so a moved port is bobNotOurs, and the arm that falls through to the write is a differing spelling of the same address. Advice replaced with the two steps that work. Pinned as behaviour, not wording: the test runs enable on the value status reported and only objects if status offered a bare `enable` as the fix, so it also stops objecting if enable is ever widened to claim such a value.

`disable` judges an existing `http.proxy` by shape alone when the Cortex config cannot be read. Both messages that say so — the `--yes` refusal and the interactive caveat — said "the Cortex config could not be read" without naming which file, so a typo'd `--config` and an uninstalled Cortex read identically, and only the first is worth retrying. `bobStatus` already named it; `bobDisable` did not have the path. Thread `cortexCfgPath` through and name it in both. Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Ed Snible <snible@us.ibm.com>

Careful, unusually well-reasoned change. The splice-based write is the right call for a hand-curated settings.json, and bobWriteKey's final json.Unmarshal guard makes the whole splice path fail safe — an edit that would produce invalid JSON leaves the file untouched, so even a bug in bobSpliceOut cannot corrupt the file.
Verified both deviations the description flags. envCACerts does resolve to ca.crt (cmd_claudecode.go:358-362 — it's the additive Node var; the bundle goes to bundleKeys), so the additive keychain gets the single cert as claimed, and bobCACommonName matches bridgeCACommonName at cmd/authbridge-proxy/local.go:67. The bobOwns url.Parse predicate is the right tightening given it now feeds a delete — rejecting userinfo/path/query/fragment closes cases strings.Contains accepted, and refusing --yes on bobUnknown is the correct place to draw that line.
One suggestion, not blocking: the two tests pinning the trust-store decisions are darwin-gated while the abctl job is ubuntu-latest.

This test and TestBobTrustNoteAndUndoCoverTheSameDomain (L1574) are the two that pin the trust-store decisions, and neither runs in CI: Go CI (authbridge abctl) is runs-on: ubuntu-latest (ci.yaml:145), so both skip on every push. That leaves the deviation the PR description explicitly flags for review — ca.crt rather than bundle.crt, where getting it wrong installs machine-wide root trust for every public CA in the bundle — guarded only by a test that runs on a maintainer's laptop. The domain-symmetry test is pinning a bug this PR already had and fixed once, which is exactly the kind that regresses.
Both are pure string assertions over bobTrustNote/bobUntrustNote; the only thing making them darwin-only is the runtime.GOOS branch inside those functions. Two ways to close it, either fine:
- Thread the GOOS through —
bobTrustNote(caPath, goos string)— so the darwin arm is assertable from any runner (and the non-darwin arm gets covered on macOS too). - Or gate on a required env var the way the repo already does for exactly this problem:
ABCTL_SYSTEMD_TESTS: required(ci.yaml:233) makes platform-conditional abctl tests mandatory instead of silently skipped.
Not blocking — the assertions themselves are right, they just aren't enforced where regressions land.

Same CI gap as L1103: ubuntu-latest skips this, so the remove-trusted-cert -d / delete-certificate pairing this pins is unenforced on every push. See the note there.

With a readable config, ownership is an exact comparison against the derived address, so only Cortex's own value matches. Without one — moved, deleted, unparseable — there is no address to compare against and no port comparison happens at all, so the only thing left to judge is the value's shape: an

That is every local proxy on any port, not just Cortex's476xxblock — Squid on 3128, a corporate agent, a dev tunnel.disablestill acts on that shape, because the off switch has to work after Cortex is uninstalled, but only after printing the value, saying in the output that it is judging by shape alone, and asking.--yesremoves exactly that safeguard, so under--yesthe unconfirmable case is refused (exit 1, naming the value and both ways out) rather than deleted.

An earlier revision prompted for, backed up, and wrote a null document.Not covered:
