Agent container could not communicate with api-proxy sidecar at 172.30.0.30. Squid logs showed 9 blocked requests to this IP.

Root Cause

The NAT bypass in setup-iptables.sh required both AWF_ENABLE_API_PROXY AND AWF_API_PROXY_IP:

if [ -n "$AWF_ENABLE_API_PROXY" ] && [ -n "$AWF_API_PROXY_IP" ]; then
  iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -d "$AWF_API_PROXY_IP" -j RETURN
fi

This condition was too strict. When HTTP_PROXY environment variable is set, HTTP clients route traffic through Squid at the application level. The iptables NAT bypass should prevent this, but the dual-flag check caused the bypass to be skipped, sending api-proxy traffic through Squid where it was blocked (IP addresses aren't in the domain whitelist).

Changes

  • Simplified NAT bypass condition to check only AWF_API_PROXY_IP (matching the OUTPUT FILTER ACCEPT rules pattern at lines 285-289)
  • Removed AWF_ENABLE_API_PROXY check and unused warning message

This ensures traffic to 172.30.0.30 bypasses Squid at the network level whenever the api-proxy IP is configured, taking precedence over application-level proxy settings.

The NAT bypass for api-proxy traffic was checking both AWF_ENABLE_API_PROXY
and AWF_API_PROXY_IP, but this was too strict. When the HTTP_PROXY
environment variable is set, HTTP clients will send requests through the
proxy unless NO_PROXY is configured or iptables rules prevent it.

The issue was that the NAT bypass required both flags, causing traffic
to 172.30.0.30 (api-proxy) to be sent through Squid when it should go
directly. Squid then blocked these requests because the IP address wasn't
in the domain whitelist.

The fix simplifies the condition to only check AWF_API_PROXY_IP, matching
the pattern used for the OUTPUT FILTER ACCEPT rules (lines 285-289).
This ensures that when AWF_API_PROXY_IP is set, traffic to that IP
bypasses Squid at the NAT level, preventing HTTP clients from routing
through the proxy regardless of HTTP_PROXY settings.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a critical bug where the agent container could not communicate with the api-proxy sidecar due to an overly strict iptables NAT bypass condition. The root cause was that the NAT bypass required both AWF_ENABLE_API_PROXY AND AWF_API_PROXY_IP to be set, but when HTTP_PROXY environment variable is set, HTTP clients route traffic through Squid at the application level. The iptables NAT bypass should have prevented this at the network level, but the dual-flag check caused the bypass to be skipped.

Changes:

  • Simplified the NAT bypass condition in setup-iptables.sh to check only AWF_API_PROXY_IP (matching the OUTPUT FILTER ACCEPT rules pattern)
  • Removed the AWF_ENABLE_API_PROXY check and associated warning message
  • Updated comment to reflect the simplified condition

* Initial plan

* fix(ci): add BASE_URL environment variables for CODEX api-proxy routing

CODEX was not being directed to use the api-proxy because the
OPENAI_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL environment variables were
not explicitly set in the smoke-codex workflow.

While AWF automatically sets these variables when generating the
docker-compose configuration (if API keys are present), explicitly
setting them in the workflow env ensures they are available to the
CODEX agent for routing API calls through the api-proxy sidecar.

This fix adds:
- OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://api-proxy:10000
- ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://api-proxy:10001

to the 'Run Codex' step environment variables.

Fixes job failure in run 63483600453.

* fix(ci): remove API keys from agent env when api-proxy is enabled (#803)

* Initial plan

* fix(ci): remove API keys from agent env when api-proxy is enabled

When api-proxy is enabled (indicated by BASE_URL environment variables),
API keys should NOT be exposed to the agent container for security.
The api-proxy sidecar holds the credentials and injects auth headers.

Previously, the workflow was passing both:
- CODEX_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY (should NOT be in agent env)
- OPENAI_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL (should be in agent env)

This defeated the security isolation provided by api-proxy.

Changes:
- Removed CODEX_API_KEY and OPENAI_API_KEY from agent environment block
- Kept OPENAI_BASE_URL and ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL for routing to api-proxy
- The awf CLI still receives keys via `sudo -E` and `--env-all`
- awf passes keys only to api-proxy container, not agent container

Security model:
- awf reads keys from host environment (process.env)
- awf passes keys only to api-proxy sidecar (src/docker-manager.ts:908-909)
- Agent only receives BASE_URL variables (src/docker-manager.ts:948-955)
- api-proxy injects auth headers and routes through Squid

* feat(workflow): enable api-proxy for smoke-claude workflow

- Add --enable-api-proxy flag to awf command
- Add --anthropic-api-key flag to pass API key to api-proxy sidecar
- Add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to env block for agent step
- API key is shared with api-proxy, kept out of agent container
- Agent uses ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to direct requests to api-proxy

* refactor(workflow): remove redundant --enable-api-proxy flag

The --enable-api-proxy flag defaults to true (src/cli.ts:724), so it
doesn't need to be explicitly specified. The api-proxy sidecar will
automatically deploy when API keys are present.

See docs/api-proxy-sidecar.md:51 which states "The API proxy is
enabled by default and automatically deploys when API keys are present"

* fix(api-proxy): use IP address for API base URLs to avoid DNS issues

In chroot mode, Docker container hostname resolution can fail because
the DNS resolver may not properly reach Docker's embedded DNS. Use the
api-proxy IP address directly (e.g., http://172.30.0.30:10001) instead
of the hostname (http://api-proxy:10001) to eliminate DNS resolution as
a failure point.

Also add test coverage for the host-iptables api-proxy ACCEPT rule.

Move api-proxy iptables rules to use pre-set AWF_API_PROXY_IP environment
variable instead of dynamic hostname resolution, and place FILTER rules in
the correct position (after NAT setup, before final DROP rule).

* feat: add debug logging for BASE_URL environment variables

Add logging to display ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL and OPENAI_BASE_URL values
that are set for the agent container. This helps debug configuration
issues when running Claude Code CLI in the workflow.

The logging is added after the Docker Compose config is generated,
showing whether BASE_URL variables are set or using defaults.
