SANDBOX-1981: MCP hot-path contract - #39
Conversation
- Export BuildBasePodSpec with instance labels, automount false, and class overlay - Require instance name, kubeconfig secret, sandbox SA, and namespace flags - Always claim unassigned pods then create; drop MCP pool replenish and idle GC - Health-check by listing namespaced pods; note claim-fail rediscover for Phase 5 Signed-off-by: Feny Mehta <fbm3307@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
WalkthroughThe server now requires expanded sandbox configuration. Session pods use instance-aware labels, secured pod specifications, and protected environment variables. Session creation claims matching unassigned pods before on-demand creation. Warm-pool reconciliation and server-managed stale cleanup were removed. ChangesSandbox configuration and CLI wiring

156-160: The claim-fail rediscovery step is not implemented, but the stack summary states it is.The layer description for "Instance-scoped claim-or-create flow" states that session creation "rediscovers after claim failures". The code comment on Line 158 documents this as a Phase 5 follow-up, and
docs/proposals/cli-mcp-operator-design.mdLine 497 also defers it. The code only rediscovers whencreateSandboxPodreturnsAlreadyExists.The behavior matches the design document, so the code is not wrong. Confirm that the PR description and stack summary are corrected to say the rediscovery is deferred.

🌐 Web query:
For Kubernetes v1.34 Pod Security Standards Restricted profile, are Linux Pods required to set securityContext.seccompProfile.type to RuntimeDefault or Localhost?
💡 Result:
For Linux Pods, the Kubernetes v1.34 Pod Security Standards Restricted profile requires that the seccomp profile be explicitly set to either RuntimeDefault or Localhost [1][2]. The Restricted policy prohibits the use of the Unconfined profile and also prohibits the absence of an explicitly defined seccomp profile [1][2]. This requirement applies to the spec.securityContext.seccompProfile.type field at the Pod level, as well as the corresponding seccompProfile.type fields for all containers, init containers, and ephemeral containers [1][2]. If a profile is not explicitly defined in a Pod manifest, the Pod will fail validation against the Restricted profile [1][2]. In summary, to comply with the Restricted profile, your Pod manifest must explicitly define one of the two allowed values [1][2]: 1. RuntimeDefault: Uses the container runtime's default seccomp profile [3][4]. 2. Localhost: Uses a custom seccomp profile pre-installed on the node at the location defined by the kubelet's seccomp root directory [3][5].

Set SeccompProfile to RuntimeDefault.
When the sandbox runs in a namespace enforcing the Restricted Pod Security Standard, admission rejects this pod because no allowed seccomp profile is declared. Set PodSecurityContext.SeccompProfile.Type to corev1.SeccompProfileTypeRuntimeDefault and assert it in TestBuildBasePodSpecOverlay.

Return a configuration error for invalid resource quantities.
BuildBasePodSpec calls resource.MustParse for all four SandboxConfig quantity fields. NewSessionManager does not validate these fields, so invalid values from non-CLI callers can panic during session pod creation. Parse the effective quantities with resource.ParseQuantity and return the validation error.
