The image ships 15 tools (jwt_tool, interactsh-client, arjun, dirsearch,
gospider, wafw00f, retire, eslint, jshint, js-beautify, JS-Snooper,
jsniper.sh, vulnx, ncat, uv) that the always-loaded skills never name
with usage guidance — agents could discover them via the environment
catalog but had no when/how. Add concise mentions in the natural home
for each: jwt_tool in the JWT skill, interactsh-client in the OAST
sections of SSRF/XXE/RCE, arjun in IDOR recon, dirsearch as the broad
alternate in the ffuf skill, gospider + the JS scrapers in katana,
wafw00f next to httpx, retire/eslint/jshint/js-beautify as a new
JavaScript-Side Coverage block in the SAST playbook, uv in python,
vulnx in the deep scan-mode CVE bullet, ncat in a new RCE Tooling
block.
Audit also turned up three real breakages along the way:
- jwt_tool's shebang resolves to /usr/bin/python3 but its dependencies
live in /app/.venv, so every invocation died with
ModuleNotFoundError: ratelimit. Replace the bare symlink with a
wrapper that execs /app/.venv/bin/python against the real script.
- dirsearch's pipx venv ended up with setuptools 82, which dropped
pkg_resources — startup failed before parsing args. Pin the inject
to setuptools<81.
- ESLint's --no-eslintrc flag was removed in v9; the surviving
--no-config-lookup covers it. Drop the dead flag from the SAST
command block.
Also corrected the JS-Snooper / jsniper.sh entry in katana.md — both
take a bare domain and run their own JS discovery internally, not the
JS URLs Katana already harvested.
AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS parser splits on commas, so any flag value
containing one (--disable-features=A,B, --window-size=1920,1080,
--lang=en-US,en) shredded into garbage positionals and Chromium
rejected the launch with "Multiple targets are not supported in
headless mode". Reduce to a comma-separated list of comma-free
flags that keeps the AutomationControlled anti-detection bit.
Default screenshot path now resolves inside the workspace root so
view_image accepts it; entrypoint pre-creates the dir at runtime
(the build-time mkdir is shadowed by the /workspace mount). Skill
examples updated to favor the no-arg form, plus brief fallback
guidance when view_image is unavailable on text-only models and a
viewport-resize note for sites that gate on real desktop dims.
Also drop the stale STRIX_DISABLE_BROWSER doc entry — no code
reference exists.
Drops the ``agent-browser install --with-deps`` step (Chrome for
Testing has no ARM64 build and ships several automation tells)
and uses the apt-installed Chromium across both arches.
``agent-browser`` is wired via three env vars baked into the image:
* ``AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium`` — every
browser launch picks up the apt binary; no per-call flag needed.
* ``AGENT_BROWSER_USER_AGENT`` — recent stable Chrome 131 Linux UA.
* ``AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS`` — minimal stealth flag set:
``--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled`` (the most-
checked tell), ``--exclude-switches=enable-automation``,
``--disable-features=IsolateOrigins,site-per-process,Translate,
BlinkGenPropertyTrees``, sane window-size + lang, infobars +
save-password + session-crashed bubbles off.
The ``agent-browser doctor --offline --quick`` step at build time
verifies the binary launches; subsequent runtime calls inherit
the env automatically.
Net: smaller image (no ~150 MB Chrome-for-Testing download),
ARM64-clean, env-driven config so future flag tweaks land without
touching the agent-browser install.

Restores the legacy persistent-IPython tool's *ergonomics* (proxy
helpers pre-bound, structured stdout/stderr/error returns) without the
in-container daemon: each call ships ``strix.tools.proxy._calls`` source
into ``/tmp`` alongside a per-call driver, runs ``python3 -u`` against
it, and parses a sentinel-delimited JSON payload back from stdout. The
driver fetches its own guest token from Caido at ``localhost:48080``
and binds ``list_requests`` / ``view_request`` / ``send_request`` /
``repeat_request`` / ``scope_rules`` to that client; user code runs
inside an ``async def`` wrapper so top-level ``await`` works.
The proxy SDK call sequences live in one file —
``strix/tools/proxy/_calls.py`` — and are reused by both the host-side
``@function_tool`` wrappers (which add JSON serialization for the LLM)
and the in-container kernel (which exposes the bare async functions).
No code duplication; the helper logic itself is host-shipped, so
tweaking the proxy helpers does not require an image rebuild.
Image: a single ``pip install caido-sdk-client`` line so the driver's
``import caido_sdk_client`` resolves. Skill ``tooling/python`` is
always-loaded alongside ``tooling/agent_browser``.
Trade-off accepted: state does not persist across calls (no kernel).
For multi-step workflows the agent combines into one ``code`` block or
writes a script to ``/workspace/scratch/`` and runs via
``exec_command``. If a workflow surfaces that genuinely needs
persistence, the same tool surface migrates to a kernel-backed
executor without changing the LLM contract.

The pinned URL pattern (https://caido.download/releases/v<X>/caido-cli-v<X>-linux-<arch>.tar.gz)
is canonical — it's published by api.caido.io/releases/latest. HEAD requests
return 404 because the upstream R2 bucket only honors GET-with-redirect, but
the wget call in the Dockerfile uses GET so the original URL was never
actually broken — it was just stale.
Switch to an ARG so future bumps are a single --build-arg override.

Dockerfile carried forward three pieces of dead state from the
pre-migration era:
- ``/app/runtime`` and ``/app/tools`` mkdir entries — the FastAPI
sidecar + in-container tool registry that those dirs hosted are
gone.
- ``/home/pentester/{configs,wordlists,output,scripts}`` — empty
placeholders never populated by anything; greps for them in the
whole repo come back empty.
- ~20 explicit Chrome/Playwright runtime libs (``libnss3``,
``libnspr4``, ``libatk*``, ``libxcomposite1``, …) plus emoji /
freefont packages. These were Playwright deps; the migration to
``agent-browser`` runs ``agent-browser install --with-deps`` which
owns this list authoritatively. Keep ``libnss3-tools`` for
``certutil`` in the entrypoint's CA-trust step.
Drive-by bug fix: ``NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1`` was set in the
entrypoint (``/etc/profile.d/proxy.sh`` + ``/etc/environment``) but
NOT in the SDK manifest's environment. ``docker exec``-spawned
processes (which ``session.exec`` and the Shell capability use)
inherit only manifest env, so ``agent-browser``'s CDP-localhost
traffic was being looped back through Caido. Add it.

- Drop ``wait_for_http_ready`` (FastAPI sidecar healthcheck) — only Caido
TCP probe survives now. Removes the ``httpx`` import.
- Delete ``ListSitemapRenderer`` / ``ViewSitemapEntryRenderer`` — render
UI for tools that disappeared with the Caido SDK migration.
- Drop ``scrubadub`` runtime dep — PII sanitizer was nuked previously
but the dep stayed; resolve strips 18 transitives (numpy, scipy,
scikit-learn, nltk, faker, …).
- Drop empty ``[project.optional-dependencies] sandbox`` section — last
in-container Python dep migrated out.
- Drop unused mypy overrides (``pydantic_settings``, ``jwt``, ``gql``,
``scrubadub``, ``httpx``) and the stale ``fastapi`` isort group.
- Collapse Dockerfile's ``pipx install -r ... 2>/dev/null || venv``
fallback into a direct venv install — pipx never accepted ``-r`` so
the fallback was always firing.

Tail end of the sandbox-tools migration:
- Drop ``ENV STRIX_SANDBOX_MODE=true`` and ``ENV PYTHONPATH=/app`` from
the Dockerfile — both only mattered for the now-deleted in-container
tool server (the legacy ``register_tool`` registry gated on the env
var, and the entrypoint set ``PYTHONPATH`` so it could ``-m
strix.runtime.tool_server``).
- Drop ``strix_disable_browser`` from the Config defaults — the legacy
registry used it to skip ``browser_action`` registration; agent-browser
is unconditional now.
- Strip the ``tool_server.py`` blurb from ``strix/runtime/__init__.py``.

Combined commits 2+3 of the migration plan because the FastAPI sidecar
removal in commit 2 broke ``browser_action`` (which lived in the
sidecar); they have to land together.
Sandbox tool layer (commit 2 piece):
- ``build_strix_agent`` now returns a ``SandboxAgent`` with
``capabilities=[Filesystem(), Shell()]``. The SDK runtime binds the
capabilities to the live sandbox session per-run; agents get
``exec_command``, ``write_stdin``, ``apply_patch``, ``view_image``
function tools auto-merged into their tool list. Plain ``Agent``
short-circuits capability binding (``agents/sandbox/runtime.py:190``).
- Drop ``Compaction`` from the default capability set — it's
OpenAI-Responses-API-only and useless for our litellm-routed
Anthropic setup.
- Delete the entire custom in-container tool layer:
- ``strix/tools/terminal/`` (5 files, 748 LoC libtmux)
- ``strix/tools/file_edit/`` (3 files, 276 LoC)
- ``strix/tools/python/`` (5 files, 459 LoC)
- ``strix/runtime/tool_server.py`` (163 LoC FastAPI sidecar)
- ``strix/tools/_sandbox_dispatch.py`` (117 LoC)
- ``strix/tools/registry.py`` (109 LoC)
- ``strix/tools/context.py`` (12 LoC)
- Drop the corresponding TUI renderers (``terminal_renderer.py``,
``file_edit_renderer.py``, ``python_renderer.py``) and update
``interface/tool_components/__init__.py``.
Browser → agent-browser CLI (commit 3 piece):
- Install ``agent-browser@0.26.0`` globally in the Dockerfile right
after the existing ``npm install -g`` block. Run
``agent-browser install --with-deps`` (apt, root) and
``agent-browser install`` (Chrome download, pentester) +
``agent-browser doctor --offline --quick`` smoke test.
- Drop the explicit Playwright system-deps apt list (replaced by
``--with-deps``) and ``RUN .venv/bin/python -m playwright install
chromium``.
- Vendor ``agent-browser/skill-data/core/SKILL.md`` →
``strix/skills/tooling/agent_browser.md`` (476 lines). Adapt
frontmatter to Strix format; strip the install/Quickstart and the
``agent-browser skills get electron|slack|...`` specialized-skills
block; add the "Caido proxy is wired via env vars; do not pass
``--proxy``" note.
- ``_resolve_skills`` now eagerly loads ``tooling/agent_browser`` for
every agent (matches the previous unconditional ``browser_action``
in ``_BASE_TOOLS``).
- Delete ``strix/tools/browser/`` (5 files, 1338 LoC) and the
``browser_renderer.py`` TUI render.
Sandbox plumbing:
- Drop ``bearer`` token, ``tool_server_host_port`` resolution + bundle
keys, ``TOOL_SERVER_TOKEN``/``TOOL_SERVER_PORT``/
``STRIX_SANDBOX_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT`` from the manifest env in
``session_manager.create_or_reuse``. Caido proxy env vars
(``http_proxy``, ``https_proxy``, ``ALL_PROXY``) stay; manifest
applies them to every ``docker exec``-spawned process.
- Drop ``sandbox_token`` and ``tool_server_host_port`` params from
``make_agent_context`` and the ``create_agent`` graph tool.
- Drop the tool-server health-check from ``entry.py`` (only Caido's
``wait_for_tcp_ready`` remains).
- ``docker-entrypoint.sh``: delete the ~30 line
``Starting tool server...`` block (sudo + uvicorn launch + curl
/health poll). Add ``NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1`` to
``/etc/profile.d/proxy.sh`` and ``/etc/environment`` so the
agent-browser daemon's CDP traffic on localhost isn't routed
through Caido.
pyproject.toml:
- ``[project.optional-dependencies] sandbox = []`` (every member of
the previous list — fastapi, uvicorn, ipython, openhands-aci,
playwright, libtmux — is gone with the sidecar).
- Drop ``numpydoc.*``, ``IPython.*``, ``openhands_aci.*``,
``playwright.*``, ``uvicorn.*``, ``pyte.*``, ``libtmux.*`` from
the missing-imports module list.
- Drop the per-file ruff ignores for the deleted modules.
Net delta: −5512 LoC. ruff drops to 3 errors (was 21 baseline). mypy
falls to 69 errors over 3 files (was 84 over 8 — the drop comes from
deleting the modules with the worst untyped-import problems).
