# dolibarr-sandbox-checkpoint

Lifecycle management for the **erp-sandbox** iso-prod checkpoint (ADR-0003). The
sandbox exists so an agent can rehearse Dolibarr writes on prod-shaped data; this
skill resets it back to a clean iso-prod baseline and re-arms the write path.

All commands are exposed via the CLI:

```sh
arcodange sandbox checkpoint status
arcodange sandbox checkpoint refresh --yes
arcodange sandbox checkpoint provision
arcodange sandbox checkpoint relink-env
```

## The reset cycle

```
  refresh --yes            provision                (auto) relink-env
  ───────────────►  ──────────────────────►  ─────────────────────────►
  wipe + re-seed     re-create the write       rewrite the write skill
  iso-prod from      agent (Playwright;         .env from the new key +
  prod (~2-3 min)    you log in) + key          verify it authenticates
```

1. **`status`** — HTTP liveness + whether the write agent (`ai_agent_sandbox`) is
   *armed* (its key authenticates `GET /users/info`). Read-only, no cluster access.
2. **`refresh --yes`** — re-seed the sandbox iso-prod from prod, wrapping
   `ops/sandbox/sandbox-lifecycle.sh` (read-only `pg_dump` of prod → `DROP OWNED` →
   `pg_restore`, then documents/logo sync). **Destructive**: requires `--yes`, and
   it wipes the write agent too (iso-prod overwrites `llx_user` with prod's, which
   has no `ai_agent_sandbox`). `--db-only` skips the documents sync. Needs `kubectl`
   on the lab cluster.
3. **`provision`** — re-create the write agent by running the Playwright POC
   (`test/provisionSandbox.ts`). It opens a browser; **you complete the admin
   login** — with the **PROD** admin credentials, since the sandbox is iso-prod
   (they come from `test/.env.sandbox`). The POC re-grants the agent's rights
   (including `banque lire`) and writes the key to `test/.ai_agent_sandbox.key`,
   then this command auto-runs `relink-env`. Needs `deno`.
4. **`relink-env`** — (re)write `dolibarr-sandbox-write/.env` from
   `test/.ai_agent_sandbox.key` (mode 600) and verify it authenticates. Run it
   standalone any time the key changed.

## Why a refresh wipes the agent (and the key)

A full refresh is **iso-prod**: it replaces the whole `public` schema (incl.
`llx_user` and `llx_const`) with prod's. So `ai_agent_sandbox` — created *after* the
seed, absent from prod — disappears, and `DOLI_INSTANCE_UNIQUE_ID` reverts to prod's,
which invalidates the instance-encrypted API key. That's why re-provisioning (not
just re-linking) is required after every refresh. This is by design (ADR-0003): the
sandbox's prod-write isolation is structural, and the agent is cheap to recreate.

## Gotchas

- **Run from an up-to-date checkout.** The `.env` is written next to the
  `dolibarr-sandbox-write` skill in *this* checkout — invoke `arcodange` from a
  worktree synced to `origin/main` (the trunk may lag), or the skill/`.env` won't be
  where your writes look for them.
- **PROD admin creds for `provision`.** If the Playwright login fails, fix
  `DOLI_ADMIN_PASSWORD` in `test/.env.sandbox` to prod's admin password.
- **`refresh` needs `kubectl`** (lab cluster context); **`provision` needs `deno`**.
- The lifecycle script pauses ArgoCD self-heal for the re-seed and restores it via
  an EXIT trap — an interrupted refresh won't strand the sandbox scaled to 0.
