Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Per-project volumes work, but two protections have gaps when the project is opened through a symlinked path. Refreshing file mounts can copy a file from outside the project into the VM. Read-only sessions can fail to start, or can skip protecting some aliased directories. Fix these before merging; the misleading failure message is a small follow-up. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A project can now request additional host mounts. A verified gap in how an existing VM refreshes a file mount may expose a host file outside the project when the project is reached through a symlink. The case requires a specific sequence of changes; the new-mount checks and read-only controls limit other paths. Retained concerns

- Around line 365-366: Update the project-volume handling around `mounts_file`
and `host_dir` so mounts resolving inside the protected project path cannot
remain writable when `--readonly` applies, and mounts resolving to `.git` cannot
remain writable when `--git-read-only` applies. Reject conflicting project
mounts or mark every alias of the protected path read-only.

Match the logical project path before refreshing a cached file source. A project-relative source is cached as ${host_dir%/}/$src, while host_dir comes from logical $(pwd). When the project path contains a symlink, this source does not match host_dir_real, so the refresh skips its containment check and _agent_vm_stage_file follows a later symlink target. A repository entry can therefore copy a host-sensitive file into the VM.

Correct the failure messages: runtime scripts no longer run before enforcement.
This PR moves both runtime scripts to after all read-only enforcement (Lines 1109-1121). The message at Line 1077 and Line 1103 now says that runtime setup may already have run. That is no longer true, and it makes users worry about something that cannot happen.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Remount each alias in place instead of binding from the resolved host path.
alias_src comes from the mount record. It is the resolved host path (host_dir_real/...). Inside the VM, Lima mounts the project at the logical $host_dir. The builder comment says host_dir can be reached through a symlink by design. In that case host_dir_real/sub does not exist in the VM, and mount --bind "$alias_src" "$alias_dst" fails. Every --readonly or --git-read-only session with a recorded rw alias then aborts until the user removes the entry.
The host-side [[ -d "$alias_src" ]] check also skips an alias without an error. That breaks the fail-closed rule for protected targets. $alias_dst is already the Lima mount of the same host data. Self-bind it and remount it read-only, as the canonical $host_dir remount does. This needs no source path inside the VM.
Proposed fix
- if [[ -d "$alias_src" ]]; then
- limactl shell "$vm_name" sudo mkdir -p "$alias_dst"
- if ! limactl shell "$vm_name" sudo mount --bind "$alias_src" "$alias_dst" 2>/dev/null \
