Background

Part of Epic #4952 (Devcontainer Lifecycle Management). Per the specification, container-instance resource type needs a --clone-into CLI argument for cloning a repository into a running container. Additionally, devcontainer-instance must use snapshot as its sandbox strategy (not NONE) to enable safe plan execution inside containers.

Expected Behavior

  • agents resource add container-instance --clone-into <repo-url> clones the specified repository into the container
  • devcontainer-instance resources use snapshot sandbox strategy by default
  • ContainerLifecycleState uses discovered (not DETECTED) as the initial state

Acceptance Criteria

  • container-instance resource type has --clone-into CLI argument
  • --clone-into clones the specified git repository into the container
  • devcontainer-instance sandbox strategy is snapshot
  • ContainerLifecycleState enum uses discovered (lowercase, not DETECTED)
  • devcontainer-instance child types include container-mount, container-exec-env, container-port
  • Pyright strict mode passes
  • nox -s lint passes

Metadata

  • Branch: feat/m6/devcontainer-clone-into-sandbox
  • Commit Message: feat(resource): add --clone-into to container-instance and fix devcontainer-instance sandbox strategy
  • Milestone: v3.5.0
  • Parent Epic: #4952

Subtasks

  • Add --clone-into argument to container-instance resource type YAML definition
  • Implement CloneIntoHandler for git clone into container
  • Update devcontainer-instance resource type to use snapshot sandbox strategy
  • Rename ContainerLifecycleState.DETECTED to discovered
  • Add container-mount, container-exec-env, container-port as child types of devcontainer-instance
  • Write Behave scenarios for --clone-into
  • Write Behave scenarios for sandbox strategy

Definition of Done

  • All subtasks completed
  • --clone-into functional
  • devcontainer-instance uses snapshot sandbox strategy
  • nox passes with coverage >= 97%

## Background Part of Epic #4952 (Devcontainer Lifecycle Management). Per the specification, `container-instance` resource type needs a `--clone-into` CLI argument for cloning a repository into a running container. Additionally, `devcontainer-instance` must use `snapshot` as its sandbox strategy (not `NONE`) to enable safe plan execution inside containers. ## Expected Behavior - `agents resource add container-instance --clone-into <repo-url>` clones the specified repository into the container - `devcontainer-instance` resources use `snapshot` sandbox strategy by default - `ContainerLifecycleState` uses `discovered` (not `DETECTED`) as the initial state ## Acceptance Criteria - [ ] `container-instance` resource type has `--clone-into` CLI argument - [ ] `--clone-into` clones the specified git repository into the container - [ ] `devcontainer-instance` sandbox strategy is `snapshot` - [ ] `ContainerLifecycleState` enum uses `discovered` (lowercase, not `DETECTED`) - [ ] `devcontainer-instance` child types include `container-mount`, `container-exec-env`, `container-port` - [ ] Pyright strict mode passes - [ ] `nox -s lint` passes ## Metadata - **Branch**: `feat/m6/devcontainer-clone-into-sandbox` - **Commit Message**: `feat(resource): add --clone-into to container-instance and fix devcontainer-instance sandbox strategy` - **Milestone**: v3.5.0 - **Parent Epic**: #4952 ## Subtasks - [ ] Add `--clone-into` argument to `container-instance` resource type YAML definition - [ ] Implement `CloneIntoHandler` for git clone into container - [ ] Update `devcontainer-instance` resource type to use `snapshot` sandbox strategy - [ ] Rename `ContainerLifecycleState.DETECTED` to `discovered` - [ ] Add `container-mount`, `container-exec-env`, `container-port` as child types of `devcontainer-instance` - [ ] Write Behave scenarios for `--clone-into` - [ ] Write Behave scenarios for sandbox strategy ## Definition of Done - [ ] All subtasks completed - [ ] `--clone-into` functional - [ ] `devcontainer-instance` uses `snapshot` sandbox strategy - [ ] `nox` passes with coverage >= 97% --- **Automated by CleverAgents Bot** Supervisor: Epic Planner | Agent: epic-planning-pool-supervisor

Implementation Attempt — Tier 1: haiku — Success [AUTO-IMP-ISSUE-7555]

Implemented all acceptance criteria for issue #7555:

Changes made:

  1. --clone-into CLI argument added to container-instance resource type in _resource_registry_data.py
  2. CloneIntoHandler module created at src/cleveragents/resource/handlers/clone_into.py with:
    • clone_repo_into_container() - executes docker exec git clone inside a container
    • validate_clone_into_url() - validates git repository URLs
    • CloneIntoError - custom exception with repo_url, container_id, stderr attributes
  3. devcontainer-instance sandbox strategy updated from none to snapshot
  4. devcontainer-instance child types updated to include container-mount, container-exec-env, container-port
  5. ContainerLifecycleState.DETECTED renamed to DISCOVERED (value: "discovered")
  6. BDD tests added: features/container_clone_into.feature and features/devcontainer_sandbox_strategy.feature

Quality gates:

  • nox -e lint
  • nox -e typecheck ✓ (0 errors, 3 warnings pre-existing)
  • nox -e unit_tests ✓ (new and modified feature files verified passing)
