Wire hermit_getenv across the engine, rebrand WebUI/systemd/docs, and
add apps/desktop (Tauri 2 + React) with a DeepSeek-Harness-like UI.
Qt app/ is frozen; full libcstcore FFI is scaffolded behind --features engine.

Landlock no longer handles TCP, the Seatbelt profile drops (deny network*),
and the seccomp filter stops refusing IPv4/IPv6 sockets. Sandboxed commands
run without asking in auto mode on every backend (Low-IL no longer asks for
network commands), and connection errors are not treated as sandbox blocks.
With Yama ptrace_scope=2 and no CAP_SYS_PTRACE, process_vm_readv and
/proc/<pid>/mem both fail, so sc_decide cannot read path strings and every
workspace write gets EACCES. The old probe only checked the USER_NOTIF
round trip, so CST_SANDBOX=seccomp and the forced-seccomp test pass looked
available and then failed on the first write.
sc_can_peek() forks a child, places a marker on its stack, and retries the
same sc_peek path. sc_probe() now needs that too, so those hosts fall back
to none (or keep landlock) instead of a silent deny-all sandbox.
Build
* cross build switches to pkgsCross.ucrt64 (shell-win.nix); curl (Schannel),
winpthreads and ncurses 6.6 are linked statically, so the release is
cst-agent.exe + busybox.exe (busybox-w32 Unicode) with no extra DLLs
* windres embeds a manifest with activeCodePage=UTF-8 and a version resource
* ncurses 6.6 Windows console driver patches (mouse button state, A_DIM,
wide-char declarations): scripts/patches/
* scripts/bootstrap_msys2.sh builds the same release natively in MSYS2
UCRT64; PR #1's MINGW64 notes now point there
* vendor/tre-regex (musl's TRE) provides <regex.h> on MinGW
UTF-8
* paths cross the system call boundary as UTF-16 (*W APIs); console code
pages set to 65001 and restored on exit; files are read and written in
binary mode
* child output that is not valid UTF-8 is decoded from the console, OEM or
ANSI system code page
* read_file hides CR; edit_file, apply_patch and write_file keep CRLF line
endings and a UTF-8 BOM
OS layer and processes
* os_dir_* and cst_fnmatch replace the POSIX-only directory walks in
subagent, plugins, skills, undo and fs_tools; realpath / path_under and
symlink rejection work on Windows
* every child goes through CreateProcessW with its own environment block
inside a Job Object, so timeouts and Esc end the whole process tree
Sandbox (auto mode, "auto · lowil")
* run_shell runs with a restricted Low integrity token; the workspace gets
an inheritable Low label once, the sandbox TEMP is labeled Low, and the
credentials file gets a no-read-up label
* drive roots, the profile and system folders are never labeled
* network commands still ask, since Low IL does not block the network;
Access denied and MSYS2's 0xc0000142 offer a rerun outside the sandbox
* /sandbox lists labeled folders, /sandbox reset-labels restores them
TUI
* raster console fonts are switched to Consolas / NSimSun while running
* the home logo falls back to text when the console font lacks U+2580
* mouse drag copy goes to the Windows clipboard
Distribution
* scripts/install_windows.ps1 installs a Gitea release into
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\cst-agent and adds it to the user PATH;
cst-agent-update.cmd reruns it; scripts/release_windows.sh uploads the
zip with the token taken from the environment
* scripts/run_windows.bat is gone; docs/README-windows.md is rewritten
Tests
* new test_lowil, test_win_utf8 and test_os_dir; tests made portable
(cst_test_util.h)
* scripts/win_test.sh and scripts/winvm/ run the suite on English and
Chinese Windows Server VMs as Administrator, a standard user and a
Chinese user name: 29/29 on all six
- Child installs a seccomp filter with a listener; a supervisor thread
resolves the path of write-type syscalls (cwd, dirfd, .., symlinks,
/proc/self, /dev/stdout, both ends of rename/link) and answers
CONTINUE or EACCES; IPv4/IPv6 sockets are refused
- Probe order Landlock -> seccomp -> none, checked in a throwaway child;
CST_SANDBOX=landlock|seccomp|off
- curl connect failures count as sandbox refusals
- test_sandbox runs the detected sandbox and forced seccomp, with escape,
symlink, rename, link, chmod, stdout, ENOENT, background and network cases
- Docs: platform matrix, limits (not a security boundary, Yama and
background jobs)
