codewhale-cloud-agent — Daytona Computer snapshot

This directory is the product-owned definition of the Daytona snapshot that a Cloud Agent acquires as its Computer (PRODUCT_PRD §4.5). The Codewhale Engine is the sole runtime inside the Computer and is installed as a commit- and digest-pinned Linux binary; nothing else in the image runs agent logic.

What the image is

  • Base: debian:bookworm-slim (linux/amd64 — Daytona builds amd64 only).
  • Engine: released codewhale-linux-x64 from GitHub release v0.9.11, fetched by exact URL and verified against the release checksum before install:
    • commit 96d13a0bc3f40280ea3865280ad5ccf0e2845e6f (tag v0.9.11)
    • sha256 c02969556e51e138afa3fe9c97a1359878cd3d1986b1ce1f5fa96c93c6909416
    • static musl build (no glibc floor), installed at /usr/local/bin/codewhale with a codew symlink; the build fails if codewhale --version does not print codewhale 0.9.11 (96d13a0bc3f4).
  • Toolchain for agent work: git, curl, CA roots, ripgrep, procps, python3 (+pip, venv), build-essential, pkg-config, jq, unzip, xz-utils, less, Node.js 22 (NodeSource). No sudo.
  • User: non-root agent (uid/gid 1000), HOME=/home/agent, CODEWHALE_HOME=/home/agent/.codewhale. /work and /workspace exist and are owned by agent.
  • Entrypoint: sleep infinity (Daytona injects its own toolbox daemon).
  • No provider credentials are baked in or supplied at sandbox create time. Daytona create-time environment is server-visible, so a provider secret must never appear in daytona create -e … or an SDK envVars payload.

The pins are recorded as OCI labels (org.opencontainers.image.revision, net.codewhale.binary.sha256, ...) so a running Computer can be audited against the release it claims to run.

Current dispatcher state — not a runtime contract

The current product dispatcher wiring for this snapshot is absent. crates/tui/src/cloud_dispatch.rs creates a Daytona sandbox with a generated name and labels, then records its ID. It does not select codewhale-cloud-agent, clone into /workspace, inject sandbox environment, call the Daytona toolbox execution endpoint, or run codewhale. It also does not contain a server-side account-token-to-provider-credential resolution path.

This directory is consequently an image definition and a bounded manual inspection aid, not an end-to-end Cloud Agent implementation. A snapshot build, manual daytona create, or manual codewhale exec proves only the specific image/operator step observed; none is launch proof for dispatcher, entitlement, credential custody, Engine execution, lifecycle, metering, or customer use.

Provider credentials inside the Computer

Credential exposure note (verified 2026-08-30). Daytona persists daytona create -e KEY=VALUE / SDK envVars server-side and returns the environment through its API (GET /sandbox/{id}). Create-time environment is therefore server-visible. Provider secrets must be injected only after the Computer is created, through a post-create execution channel from stdin (never argv and never create-time environment), then removed at teardown. This image and the current dispatcher do not implement that bridge.

api_key_env accepts the name of an environment variable, not a file path or file contents. Do not point it at a 0600 secret file. If a future product-owned bridge uses a temporary file, it must separately and explicitly map the stdin-delivered secret into the engine process without placing the secret in Daytona create-time environment.

The #5712 CODEWHALE_API_KEY account/machine-token caveat remains: it is not an inference-provider credential and current cloud dispatch does not resolve it server-side into one. A machine token alone cannot make this image run a provider-backed Engine turn.

The following are configuration references for a future supported post-create bridge, not current dispatcher wiring and not permission to use create-time environment:

Provider (config name) Env var Example model identifiers
modelstudio-token-plan MODELSTUDIO_API_KEY (or DASHSCOPE_API_KEY) qwen3.8-flash, deepseek-v4-pro
deepseek DEEPSEEK_API_KEY deepseek-v4-pro

CODEWHALE_PROVIDER / CODEWHALE_MODEL select an Engine route when the Engine is launched; they do not make the current dispatcher launch this snapshot or deliver a provider credential.

Build

daytona snapshot create (CLI v0.205.x) has no --build-arg, so every pin is inline in the Dockerfile. Resources are set at snapshot creation and are the plan maximum:

cd computer/snapshots/cloud-agent
daytona snapshot create codewhale-cloud-agent -f Dockerfile --cpu 4 --memory 8 --disk 10

To roll the engine forward: bump CODEWHALE_VERSION, CODEWHALE_COMMIT, CODEWHALE_ASSET_URL, CODEWHALE_ASSET_SHA256, the grep -qx version assertion, and the OCI labels together, then rebuild under a new snapshot name (snapshots are immutable once active).

Probe a Computer (manual image evidence only)

daytona create --snapshot codewhale-cloud-agent \
  -l owner=cw-integrator -l lane=cloud-agent-e2e --ttl 30 --auto-delete 0 --name cw-probe
daytona exec cw-probe -- sh -c 'id -u; codewhale --version; git --version; node --version; df -h /; sha256sum /usr/local/bin/codewhale'
daytona delete cw-probe

The sha256 printed by the probe must equal the pinned c02969556e51e138afa3fe9c97a1359878cd3d1986b1ce1f5fa96c93c6909416. This is not product-dispatch or launch acceptance evidence.

Image build and manual probe receipt (2026-08-30; not launch proof)

Built with the command above; snapshot id b9275f82-0ead-4855-9707-21859aa186b4, state ACTIVE, 0.70 GB, cpu 4 / memory 8 / disk 10. Probe sandbox (daytona create --snapshot codewhale-cloud-agent, labels owner=cw-integrator,lane=cloud-agent-e2e, ttl 30, auto-delete 0) reported:

This shows only that the Daytona toolbox executed the listed manual commands as the image USER (uid 1000) with the image ENV honored. It does not prove current product dispatcher wiring, provider-secret custody, Engine execution, or any launch acceptance condition.
