The chat response contained generated model output. The running bridge argv contained Supported sandbox routeThe final checks were executed from the Ready OpenShell sandbox, through the supported route rather than the host loopback bridge directly: The completed onboarding deployment reported the gateway, dashboard, and inference route healthy.

Following the CLI-prescribed recovery, a fresh onboarding transaction completed successfully and produced a Ready sandbox with healthy managed inference.

CI follow-up after the review update:
This is workflow-output plumbing rather than a bridge or GPU-runtime failure. I did not modify the shared workflow in this focused security PR. The credential-redacted DGX Spark proof above already includes successful managed llama.cpp inference through both the authenticated host bridge and supported sandbox route.

Focused evidence: 73 bridge and lifecycle tests passed. CLI build and type-check, targeted Oxlint, and diff validation passed. A manual hard-link check confirmed that the implementation rejects before process creation. The open-issue sweep found no adjacent fixes or contradictions.

Reviewed commit a940e68. I found no critical implementation blocker. The proxy binds loopback, requires canonical bearer authentication for non-health routes, compares credentials in constant time, strips forwarding identity headers, and validates the credential file identity, ownership, mode, size, and link count before use. The missing hard-link regression case is a test-strength gap; the implementation already rejects hard-linked credentials before process creation.

Reviewed latest PR commit d85cff5. The recorded maintainer decision accepts bearer authentication for non-health routes. The added public-boundary hard-link regression closes the remaining security coverage gap and proves rejection before process creation. Focused bridge tests passed 16/16; targeted Oxlint, diff validation, commit hooks, and pre-push CLI type-check passed. Independent documentation review found no documentation impact. Security review: PASS; no blocking findings remain.

Summary
GET /healthRoot cause
The managed llama.cpp container required its configured API key, but the host bridge was a transparent TCP proxy. Requests to the host loopback listener therefore reached the container without bridge-layer authentication and could bypass the intended managed-route boundary.
Impact
Requests to the managed bridge now fail closed unless they carry exactly one valid Bearer credential. The credential is never placed in process arguments or environment variables. The exact health probe remains available to lifecycle management, and resume/recovery replaces older bridge processes that lack the authenticated mode marker.
