host captured the first live member turn: uid 1001, nine env vars, zero
ANTHROPIC_*, zero POSTGRES_URL, zero JWT_SECRET. The privilege drop and the
allowlist both held. One defect.
The default chat cwd was DATA_PATH/<email>/general_chat_sessions — a sibling of
the member's home, which confineUserTree deliberately makes the platform's at
0700 because the other siblings are attachments and email_accounts. So the turn
ran in a directory the member cannot enter, and every Bash call failed on its
own cwd. The agent reported its shell as broken, which was true.
A member's default is now ~member/general_chat_sessions, created as them through
runAs. mkdir -p, so it is idempotent per turn and needs no reprovision. The
owner's path does not change, and the sibling stays 0700 — loosening it would
trade a broken shell for an open directory holding attachments and mail.
29 said this path is email-derived and therefore stays email-derived. True, and
it did not follow that it is usable: an email-derived path under DATA_PATH is
precisely the set a member is locked out of. Splitting identity from filesystem
path was right; assuming the identity side was inert was not.
