leviath_cli/daemon/seed_command.rs
1//! Execution of `seed = { command = "..." }` region seeds.
2//!
3//! A command seed runs a shell command in the run's workdir at spawn and puts
4//! its combined stdout/stderr into the region - but only when the command
5//! *succeeds*; a non-zero exit is reported as an error so a diagnostic never
6//! masquerades as data. It is the only seed source that *executes* anything, and
7//! it does so before the first inference - therefore before any tool-approval
8//! prompt - so it is deliberately hemmed in:
9//! -
10//! it is skipped entirely unless [`SeedCommandPolicy::allowed`] (the
11//! `[security] allow_seed_commands` config switch and the `--no-seed-commands`
12//! launch flag); -
13//! it must be covered by `[safe_commands]`, since a seed is precisely the case
14//! where there is nobody to prompt - see [`SeedCommandPolicy::run`]; -
15//! it runs inside the entry stage's sandbox when the agent declares one,
16//! using the same [`ShellExecutor::build_command`] routing as the built-in
17//! `shell` tool, so a seed can't escape the isolation the stage asked for; -
18//! it is capped in wall-clock time (`[limits] script_shell_timeout_secs`) and
19//! in output size (`cap_script_io`); -
20//! it never runs on restart - [`crate::daemon::spawn`] only resolves seeds on
21//! a fresh spawn.
