1. Relative parent traversal in shell commands (HIGH)
validateShellCommand only scanned absolute path tokens, so commands
like `cat ../mateclaw/CLAUDE.md`, `cd .. && cat foo`, or
`ln -sf ../bar breakout` had no absolute path to trip the check.
From a workspace cwd that's a real escape — `..` segments resolve
against the JVM cwd at file-tool time and reach anywhere the user
can read.
Add a second pass: any token containing `..` as a path segment is
resolved against the workspace root via root.resolve(token).
normalize(); reject when the result falls outside. In-workspace
traversal like `subdir/../sibling` normalizes back inside and
passes. Identifiers without slashes (e.g. version strings with
`1.2..3`) are not treated as paths.
2. Shell validation and process working directory used different
context sources (MEDIUM)
execute_shell_command validated with the explicit ToolContext, but
buildShellProcess called WorkspacePathGuard.getWorkingDirectory()
(no-arg), which only sees the ThreadLocal fallback. Today the
ToolExecutionExecutor sets both so the discrepancy is latent, but
a future direct Spring AI invocation passing only ToolContext would
validate against one basePath and exec against another. Thread ctx
through buildShellProcess and call getWorkingDirectory(ctx) so
validation and execution agree on a single source of truth.
3. Absolute agent override could disable workspace scoping (MEDIUM)
resolveAgentBasePath accepted an absolute override verbatim, even
when it pointed outside the workspace root. An admin (or any
account with agent-edit permission) could set workspaceBasePath="/"
or another team's repo and bypass workspace boundaries entirely.
When a workspace has its own basePath, require absolute overrides
to sit underneath it. The caller in build() catches the rejection,
logs WARN, and falls back to the workspace basePath so chat stays
available rather than crashing agent construction. When the
workspace has no basePath there's no boundary to enforce, so legacy
behavior is preserved.
Test coverage: WorkspacePathGuardShellTest grows from 17 to 23 (six
new cases for `cd ..`, relative parent traversal, relative symlink
escape, deeper traversal, in-workspace normalization, and the
identifier false-positive guard). AgentGraphBuilderBasePathResolutionTest
grows from 7 to 10 (three new cases for in-workspace absolute,
outside-workspace absolute rejection, and no-workspace legacy
behavior). All 45 sandbox-area tests pass with no regressions.
