Release v0.28.5
Summary
Release v0.28.5 is an incremental maintenance release focused on hardening the AWF sandbox's filesystem and network boundaries, fixing a transient Cloud Hypervisor readiness bug, and cleaning up dispatcher/documentation/dependency debt. There are no breaking changes for existing awf CLI users.
What's Changed
Security
- Enforce filesystem
allowWriteboundaries in AWF sandboxes (#7634) — tightens write-path enforcement so sandboxed agents can only write within explicitly allowed paths. - Route CLI artifact redirects through scoped Squid egress (#7635) — ensures CLI artifact download redirects are proxied through Squid's domain-allowlist instead of bypassing egress controls.
Bug Fixes
- Recover transient Cloud Hypervisor readiness failures (#7611) — adds retry/recovery handling so intermittent Cloud Hypervisor VM readiness checks no longer fail the run outright.
- Fix broken tracking issue links from the firewall dispatcher (#7630) — corrects issue link generation in dispatcher-created tracking issues.
Documentation
- Document AI-credit accounting for Copilot auto dynamic selector (#7620)
- Add B25 catalog entry for native-root container-workdir ownership repair (#7631) — documents PR #7599's fix for container workdir ownership when running as native root.
Dependencies
Refactoring
- Deduplicate Cloud Hypervisor execution mock setup (#7633) — consolidates duplicated test mock scaffolding for the Cloud Hypervisor backend.
Technical Details
- Sandbox write-boundary enforcement and Squid egress routing for CLI artifact redirects touch the core security surface (filesystem allowlisting and network egress paths) — worth a close look if you rely on custom
allowWriteconfigs or CLI artifact downloads. - Cloud Hypervisor readiness-failure recovery and mock-setup deduplication affect the (preview) Cloud Hypervisor microVM backend and its test suite, not the default Docker-based backend.
- No changes to public CLI flags, Docker Compose topology, or Squid/agent/api-proxy container images in this release.
Upgrade Notes
No breaking changes. Users of the Cloud Hypervisor preview backend benefit from more reliable readiness handling; no action required. Users relying on allowWrite filesystem scoping should confirm their existing allowlists still cover intended write paths, since enforcement is now stricter (#7634).
