fix(host-agent): SECURITY — file manager copy/list no longer follow symlinks out of the jail
Automated security review (HIGH) caught a jail-escape my own review
missed: copy_recursive used fs::metadata (follows symlinks). A symlink
inside the jail pointing to e.g. /etc, then a 'copy' of its parent dir,
would dereference it and pull external content INTO the jail where it
could be read — a read-escape exfiltration. jail() validates only the
top-level src/dest; the recursive walk reintroduced the escape.

Fix: copy_recursive uses symlink_metadata and refuses any symlink
('symlinks are not followed across the jail boundary'). list() likewise
switched to symlink_metadata so it reports the link, never the
dereferenced target's size/type (info leak). Two regression tests added:
copy-symlink-exfil (asserts no external content lands inside) and
list-no-deref. 44/44 tests green. Rolled forward to alpha.4 (vulnerable
alpha.3 superseded).

Corrosion Host Agent

Rust rewrite of the Go companion agent (companion-agent/, retained as the behavior reference until parity). One agent per machine supervises every game instance on that host — Rust, Conan Exiles, Soulmask, Dune: Awakening.

Status — Phase 0

  • Multi-instance TOML config + env overrides (CORROSION_LICENSE_ID, CORROSION_NATS_URL, CORROSION_NATS_TOKEN)
  • NATS connection (infinite reconnect, capped backoff, 30s ping, offline send-buffering, tls:// support)
  • Host heartbeat with real telemetry (sysinfo: CPU, memory, disks) — no fabricated values
  • Connectivity prober (outbound TCP, periodic + on-demand)
  • Host command channel (ping, probe, sysinfo)
  • Graceful shutdown (cancellation token, going-offline beacon, NATS flush)
  • Phase 1a: process supervision — per-instance start/stop/restart/status over {instance}.cmd request-reply, push state events on {instance}.status, crash detection with exit codes, live state in heartbeats (integration-tested with real processes + live-NATS contract test)
  • Phase 1b: RCON trait (WebRCON rust / TCP conan+soulmask), SteamCMD, jailed file manager
  • Phase 2: Dune Docker adapter (compose lifecycle, RabbitMQ bus, Postgres admin)
  • Phase 3: signed self-update (enforced ed25519 — release gate), service install, supervisor split
