+//! Directory jail (cwd_jail): jail an agent/tool into a single workspace.
+//!
+//! ## Why this exists
+//!
+//! `src/openhuman/security/` already has a `Sandbox` trait that wraps
+//! `Command`s (Landlock / Firejail / Bubblewrap / Docker). It works well
+//! for Linux but the macOS branch is a stub (`bwrap` doesn't exist there)
+//! and there is no Windows backend at all. Callers also have to thread
+//! `SecurityConfig` through every call site.
+//!
+//! `cwd_jail` is the user-facing facade. Callers describe *what* the
+//! jail looks like ([`Jail`]) and the module picks the right OS backend:
+//!
+//! | OS      | Backend       | Mechanism                                  |
+//! |---------|---------------|--------------------------------------------|
+//! | Linux   | landlock      | Kernel 5.13+ LSM, applied in `pre_exec`    |
+//! | macOS   | seatbelt      | `sandbox-exec -p '<profile>' …`            |
+//! | Windows | appcontainer  | `CreateAppContainerProfile` + `STARTUPINFOEX` |
+//! | other   | noop          | Plain `Command::spawn`, audit-only         |
+//!
+//! ## Quick start
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! use openhuman::openhuman::cwd_jail::{spawn, Jail};
+//! use std::process::Command;
+//!
+//! let mut jail = Jail::new("/Users/x/work/proj", "agent.delegate")
+//!     .add_read_only("/usr/lib")
+//!     .deny_subprocess();
+//! jail.canonicalize_or_log();
+//!
+//! let mut cmd = Command::new("node");
+//! cmd.arg("script.js");
+//! let child = spawn(&jail, cmd)?;
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## What this does *not* do
+//!
+//! - It does not jail the current process. Backends spawn a child. The core
+//!   itself is trusted; only the things it shells out to are caged.
+//! - It does not replace `security::SecurityPolicy`. The autonomy gate
+//!   still decides *whether* a command may run; this module decides
+//!   *what filesystem* it sees once approved.
+//! - It does not encrypt files. ACLs / Landlock rules / Seatbelt profiles
+//!   are the wall — anything inside `root` is fully visible to the child.

+//! Jail registry — manage many jailed workspaces side-by-side.

+//! A [`JailRegistry`] is rooted at a single base directory (typically

+//!
+//! - A stable **id** (UUID-ish, used in paths and the index).

+//!   is rooted in.
+//! - **Metadata**: created/updated timestamps, backend used at create
+//!   time, optional notes.
+//!
+//! All metadata is persisted to `<base>/index.json`. The on-disk index is
+//! the source of truth; the in-memory state is rebuilt from it on every

+//! Windows backend: AppContainer.
+//!
+//! AppContainer is Microsoft's strict process-isolation model — the same one
+//! UWP apps and Edge's renderer use. Each container gets a unique SID; the
+//! process can only touch filesystem objects whose DACL explicitly grants
+//! that SID access. To jail an agent in `jail.root`:
+//!
+//! 1. `CreateAppContainerProfile` → derive a per-jail SID.
+//! 2. Grant the SID `GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE | DELETE` on `jail.root`
+//!    via `SetNamedSecurityInfoW` (additive ACE on the existing DACL).
+//! 3. Build `STARTUPINFOEXW` with `PROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES`.
+//! 4. `CreateProcessW` with `EXTENDED_STARTUPINFO_PRESENT`.
+//!
+//! Things this backend deliberately does not do:
+//!
+//! - Network capability requests. By default an AppContainer has *no*
+//!   network capabilities — we honor `jail.allow_net` by adding
+//!   `internetClient` and `privateNetworkClientServer` capabilities.
+//! - Persistent profile cleanup. We use a deterministic profile name
+//!   derived from `jail.label` so reruns reuse the same SID. The host
+//!   should call `DeleteAppContainerProfile` on uninstall — out of scope.
+//!
+//! Validated paths: this implementation has been compile-checked on
+//! Windows targets but **must be tested on real Windows hardware** before
+//! shipping. Win32 has many subtle wrong-trees you can bark up.

+//! End-to-end tests for `openhuman::cwd_jail`.
+//!
+//! Each test goes through the public surface only — `Jail`, `spawn`,
+//! `JailRegistry`, `default_backend` — and (where the platform allows it)
+//! actually exercises the OS sandbox by trying to do something it should
+//! be blocked from doing.
+//!
+//! Platform breakdown:
+//! - **Common** (all OSes): registry CRUD + spawn via `NoopBackend`, jail
+//!   builder semantics. Runs in every CI matrix slot.
+//! - **Linux**: `target_os = "linux"` gate exercises Landlock by spawning
+//!   `/bin/sh` and trying to write outside the jail.
+//! - **macOS**: same shape, exercises Seatbelt via `/usr/bin/touch`.
+//! - **Windows**: AppContainer integration is marked `#[ignore]` until
+//!   the raw-`HANDLE` → `Child` bridge lands (see TODO in
+//!   `src/openhuman/cwd_jail/windows.rs`).
