Split out of #646 to keep that PR to the guest/core/CLI feature itself (84 files was too large for one review). This is the downstream plumbing that consumes the core AdvancedBoxOptions.privileged field #646 adds:

  • NestJS control-plane: DTO, entity, migration, service, REST mapper, config controller
  • Go runner: forwarding privileged/capabilities through CreateBoxDTO/RecoverBoxDTO
  • Generated API clients (Go, TS, runner-api-client)
  • SDK bindings: C, Go, Node, Python

Includes the e2e regression test (test_privileged_options.py) and the Node/Python SDK reference docs — both exercise/document this control-plane layer specifically (the e2e case drives the full SDK → apps/api → apps/runner → guest chain, so it has nothing to test without this PR's server-side changes).

Depends on #646 conceptually (needs AdvancedBoxOptions.privileged to exist), but is code-independent — nothing here blocks #646 from merging first or vice versa.

Test plan:

  • Verified working-tree diff against main touches only these 52 files; no accidental changes to guest/core/CLI content (spot-checked via git diff origin/main on representative files)
  • CI (will run on push)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds privileged box mode and Linux capability policies across the API, database, runner protocol, generated clients, and C, Go, Node.js, and Python SDKs. It adds validation, normalization, persistence, recovery, documentation, and regression tests.

Changes

Privileged box options

Layer / File(s) Summary
API contracts and normalization
apps/api/src/box/utils/*, apps/api/src/boxlite-rest/dto/*, apps/api/src/boxlite-rest/mappers/*
The API validates capability names, normalizes capability lists, expands privileged mode to ALL, rejects conflicting overrides, and maps advanced options into internal DTOs.
Persistence and box lifecycle
apps/api/src/box/entities/*, apps/api/src/migrations/*, apps/api/src/box/services/*, apps/api/src/box/dto/*, apps/api/src/box/runner-adapter/*
Boxes persist privileged mode and capabilities. Creation skips warm-pool reuse when advanced options are present. Creation, recovery, and DTO responses carry normalized settings.
Runner transport and BoxLite construction
apps/runner/pkg/api/*, apps/runner/pkg/boxlite/*, apps/libs/runner-api-client/src/*
Runner request models and schemas expose advanced options. The runner creates BoxLite advanced-option handles, applies capabilities and privileged mode, and closes handles after use or on errors.
Generated client models
apps/libs/api-client-go/*, apps/libs/api-client/src/*
Box models, constructors, serialization, deserialization, examples, and documentation include privileged and capabilities.
SDK bindings and validation
sdks/c/*, sdks/go/*, sdks/node/*, sdks/python/*, src/boxlite/src/runtime/*
SDKs expose privileged mode, normalize capability state, reject conflicting policies, and test the resulting behavior.
Integration coverage and documentation
apps/e2e/*, docs/reference/*, sdks/*/README.md
End-to-end coverage compares privileged containers with containers using cap_add=['ALL']. SDK documentation describes the same distinction.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 92a19

The Go SDK may report successful privileged-mode configuration even when the underlying native setter fails, leaving the box in a different state than requested. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to propagate setter errors.

apps/api, apps/runner, apps/libs (generated clients), and sdks/** now
ship in boxlite-ai#1156 instead. This PR is left with the
guest + core runtime + CLI + REST contract — the actual privileged/
DinD feature — so review stays scoped to the security-relevant parts
of the change instead of being split across 84 files of mixed risk.

Expose one structured BoxCapabilities schema in the generated client.

The API returns capability policy fields add and drop, but the generated model and documentation reduce them to object. This removes compile-time access to the new fields and weakens the public API contract.

privileged cannot be combined with capabilities.add or capabilities.drop. The adjacent list can lead users to create an invalid configuration. State that these settings are mutually exclusive.

Keeps boxlite-ai#646 to the mechanism itself — proto, host resolve, guest apply — same
split rationale boxlite-ai#1156 already used to separate control-plane/runner/SDK
consumers from boxlite-ai#646. The Rust API (AdvancedBoxOptions.privileged,
set_privileged) stays; only the CLI --privileged flag and the self-hosted
REST DTO/OpenAPI exposure move out, since neither adds mechanism, just a
caller.

Before: CLI/REST call AdvancedBoxOptions.privileged directly, bundled with
  the guest/core mechanism in one PR.
After: CLI/REST removed here, follow-up PR re-adds them on top of this
  mechanism-only branch (rust API entry point unchanged, so the follow-up is
  pure plumbing with nothing left to test beyond wiring).

Add a maximum item count to CapabilitiesDTO.Add and CapabilitiesDTO.Drop, then regenerate both Swagger documents. The source DTO has no validation tags, and both schemas lack maxItems.

apps/api, apps/runner, apps/libs (generated clients), and sdks/** now
ship in boxlite-ai#1156 instead. This PR is left with the
guest + core runtime + CLI + REST contract — the actual privileged/
DinD feature — so review stays scoped to the security-relevant parts
of the change instead of being split across 84 files of mixed risk.

…ollow-up PR

Keeps boxlite-ai#646 to the mechanism itself — proto, host resolve, guest apply — same
split rationale boxlite-ai#1156 already used to separate control-plane/runner/SDK
consumers from boxlite-ai#646. The Rust API (AdvancedBoxOptions.privileged,
set_privileged) stays; only the CLI --privileged flag and the self-hosted
REST DTO/OpenAPI exposure move out, since neither adds mechanism, just a
caller.

Before: CLI/REST call AdvancedBoxOptions.privileged directly, bundled with
  the guest/core mechanism in one PR.
After: CLI/REST removed here, follow-up PR re-adds them on top of this
  mechanism-only branch (rust API entry point unchanged, so the follow-up is
  pure plumbing with nothing left to test beyond wiring).
G4614 and others added 2 commits August 19, 2026 19:42
…d SDKs

Split out of boxlite-ai#646 to keep that PR to the guest/core/CLI feature itself.
This is the downstream plumbing: NestJS control-plane DTO/entity/
migration/mapper, Go runner forwarding, generated API clients, and the
C/Go/Node/Python SDK bindings for advanced.privileged — all consuming
the same core AdvancedBoxOptions.privileged field boxlite-ai#646 adds.

Includes the e2e regression test (test_privileged_options.py) and the
Node/Python SDK reference docs, since both exercise/document this
control-plane layer specifically (the e2e case drives the full
SDK -> apps/api -> apps/runner -> guest chain).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
validate_privileged_capability_conflict and normalize_privileged were
pub(crate), invisible to the boxlite-node/boxlite-python crates that need to
call them after constructing AdvancedBoxOptions directly from a plain JS/Python
object (bypassing set_privileged). Widened both to pub, and fixed the resulting
call site: options.normalize_privileged() doesn't exist (the method is on
AdvancedBoxOptions, reached via .advanced), not on BoxOptions itself.

GitHub couldn't provide a complete incremental comparison for this pull request, so CodeRabbit is performing a full review instead. This review may take a little longer.

…ypes

- Go/C SDK order-dependent capability-conflict check: SetPrivileged(true) (Go)
  and boxlite_advanced_options_set_privileged (C) silently kept a conflicting
  cap_add/cap_drop policy set before them, unlike the reverse call order,
  which SetCapabilities/set_capabilities_add already rejected. Both setters
  now check for the conflict before applying; the C layer reuses the core's
  own validate_privileged_capability_conflict on a cloned probe rather than
  duplicating the shape check. The Go and C capability setters themselves
  were also too strict: they rejected re-affirming the canonical add=["ALL"]
  shape while already privileged, which is not a conflict - it's what
  enabling privileged mode itself installs.
- BoxDto.capabilities (apps/api) was typed from a plain interface with no
  runtime representation for Nest's Swagger plugin to introspect, so the
  generated OpenAPI schema, and every client generated from it, carried
  capabilities as an untyped object/map instead of add/drop string arrays.
  Added a decorated BoxCapabilitiesDto, the same pattern BoxVolume already
  uses for volumes.
- apps/dashboard's mock Box fixtures predated the privileged/capabilities
  fields becoming required on the generated Box type; yarn build (the real
  tsc gate) failed on it once actually run. Added both to the shared base.

Handle the native setter result.

boxlite_advanced_options_set_privileged returns BoxliteErrorCode, but SetPrivileged ignores it and updates the Go-side state. If the native call fails, return an error before updating a.privileged or a.capabilities.
