-  #       https: [

-  #
-  # The `cipher_suite` is set to `:strong` to support only the
-  # latest and more secure SSL ciphers. This means old browsers
-  # and clients may not be supported. You can set it to
-  # `:compatible` for wider support.
-  #
-  # `:keyfile` and `:certfile` expect an absolute path to the key
-  # and cert in disk or a relative path inside priv, for example
-  # "priv/ssl/server.key". For all supported SSL configuration
-  # options, see https://hexdocs.pm/plug/Plug.SSL.html#configure/1
-  #
-  # We also recommend setting `force_ssl` in your config/prod.exs,
-  # ensuring no data is ever sent via http, always redirecting to https:
-  #
-  #     config :elixir_ai, ElixirAiWeb.Endpoint,
-  #       force_ssl: [hsts: true]

+Below is a **structured design document** intended for another LLM (or engineer) to implement a **persistent BEAM-backed CLI execution system inside a long-lived Docker container using `docker exec`**.
+
+---
+
+# Design Document: Persistent BEAM Tool Runner in Docker
+
+## 1. Objective
+
+Build a system where:
+
+* A **single long-lived Docker container** hosts:
+
+  * a **persistent Elixir (BEAM) daemon**
+  * a standard **bash execution environment**
+* All commands are executed via:
+
+  ```bash
+  docker exec <container> bash -lc "<command>"
+  ```
+* Common tools (`cat`, `grep`, etc.) are **intercepted via PATH shims**
+* Shims delegate execution to the **persistent BEAM daemon**
+* The daemon:
+
+  * executes real system commands
+  * truncates output deterministically
+  * returns `{stdout, stderr, exit_code}`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Non-Goals
+
+* No AI/model integration
+* No streaming output (batch only)
+* No advanced sandboxing (seccomp/cgroups optional later)
+* No distributed execution
+
+---
+
+## 3. System Overview

+         │                  └─ System.cmd("cat", ...)
+         │                  └─ truncate output
+         │                  └─ return response

+
+## 4. Key Design Decisions
+
+### 4.1 Persistent Container
+
+* Container is started once and reused
+* Avoid `docker run` per command
+
+### 4.2 Persistent BEAM Process
+
+* Avoid BEAM startup per command
+* Centralize execution + truncation
+
+### 4.3 Bash as Execution Engine
+
+* Do not reimplement shell parsing
+* Support pipes, redirects, chaining
+
+### 4.4 PATH Interception
+
+* Replace selected binaries with shims
+* Keep system binaries available underneath
+
+---
+
+## 5. Container Specification
+
+### 5.1 Base Image
+
+* `debian:bookworm-slim`
+
+### 5.2 Required Packages
+
+```bash
+elixir
+erlang
+bash
+socat
+coreutils
+grep
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5.3 Filesystem Layout
+
+```text
+/app
+  daemon.exs
+  shims/
+    cat
+    grep
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5.4 PATH Configuration
+
+```bash
+PATH=/app/shims:/usr/bin:/bin
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5.5 Container Startup Command
+
+```bash
+elixir daemon.exs & exec bash
+```
+
+Requirements:
+
+* daemon must start before shell usage
+* shell must remain interactive/alive
+
+---
+
+## 6. BEAM Daemon Specification
+
+### 6.1 Transport
+
+* Unix domain socket:
+
+  ```text
+  /tmp/tool_runner.sock
+  ```
+
+* Protocol:
+
+  * request: single line
+  * response: Erlang binary (`:erlang.term_to_binary/1`)
+
+---
+
+### 6.2 Request Format (v1)
+
+```text
+<command>\t<arg1>\t<arg2>\n
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```text
+cat\tfile.txt\n
+```
+
+---
+
+### 6.3 Response Format
+
+```elixir
+{stdout :: binary, stderr :: binary, exit_code :: integer}
+```
+
+Encoded via:
+
+```elixir
+:erlang.term_to_binary/1
+```
+
+---
+
+### 6.4 Execution Logic
+
+For each request:
+
+1. Parse command + args
+2. Call:
+
+```elixir
+System.cmd(cmd, args, stderr_to_stdout: false)
+```
+
+3. Apply truncation (see below)
+4. Return encoded response
+
+---
+
+### 6.5 Truncation Rules
+
+Configurable constants:
+
+```elixir
+@max_bytes 4000
+@max_lines 200
+```
+
+Apply in order:
+
+1. truncate by bytes
+2. truncate by lines
+
+Append:
+
+```text
+...[truncated]
+```
+
+---
+
+### 6.6 Concurrency Model
+
+* Accept loop via `:gen_tcp.accept`
+* Each client handled in separate lightweight process (`spawn`)
+* No shared mutable state required
+
+---
+
+### 6.7 Error Handling
+
+* Unknown command → return exit_code 127
+* Exceptions → return exit_code 1 + error message
+* Socket failure → ignore safely
+
+---
+
+## 7. Shim Specification
+
+### 7.1 Purpose
+
+* Replace system binaries (`cat`, `grep`)
+* Forward calls to daemon
+* Reproduce exact CLI behavior:
+
+  * stdout
+  * stderr
+  * exit code
+
+---
+
+### 7.2 Implementation Language
+
+* Bash (fast startup, no BEAM overhead)
+
+---
+
+### 7.3 Behavior
+
+For command:
+
+```bash
+cat file.txt
+```
+
+Shim must:
+
+1. Build request string
+2. Send to socket via `socat`
+3. Receive binary response
+4. Decode response
+5. Write:
+
+   * stdout → STDOUT
+   * stderr → STDERR
+6. Exit with correct code
+
+---
+
+### 7.4 Request Construction (in-memory)
+
+No temp files.
+
+```bash
+{
+  printf "cat"
+  for arg in "$@"; do
+    printf "\t%s" "$arg"
+  done
+  printf "\n"
+} | socat - UNIX-CONNECT:/tmp/tool_runner.sock
+```
+
+---
+
+### 7.5 Response Decoding
+
+Temporary approach:
+
+```bash
+elixir -e '
+  {out, err, code} = :erlang.binary_to_term(IO.read(:stdio, :all))
+  IO.write(out)
+  if err != "", do: IO.write(:stderr, err)
+  System.halt(code)
+'
+```
+
+---
+
+### 7.6 Known Limitation
+
+* Arguments containing tabs/newlines will break protocol
+* Acceptable for v1
+* Future: switch to JSON protocol
+
+---
+
+## 8. Execution Flow Example
+
+```bash
+docker exec container bash -lc "cat file.txt | grep foo"
+```
+
+Inside container:
+
+1. `cat` → shim
+2. shim → daemon → real `cat`
+3. truncated output returned
+4. piped to `grep`
+5. `grep` → shim → daemon → real `grep`
+
+---
+
+## 9. Performance Expectations
+
+| Component     | Latency   |
+| ------------- | --------- |
+| docker exec   | 10–40 ms  |
+| shim + socket | 1–5 ms    |
+| System.cmd    | 1–5 ms    |
+| total         | ~15–50 ms |
+
+---
+
+## 10. Security Considerations
+
+Minimal (v1):
+
+* No command filtering
+* Full shell access inside container
+
+Future:
+
+* allowlist commands
+* resource limits
+* seccomp profile
+
+---
+
+## 11. Extensibility
+
+### 11.1 Add new tools
+
+* create shim in `/app/shims`
+* no daemon change required
+
+---
+
+### 11.2 Central policies
+
+Implement in daemon:
+
+* timeouts
+* logging
+* output shaping
+* auditing
+
+---
+
+### 11.3 Protocol upgrade path
+
+Replace tab protocol with:
+
+```json
+{ "cmd": "...", "args": [...] }
+```
+
+---
+
+## 12. Failure Modes
+
+| Failure            | Behavior                      |
+| ------------------ | ----------------------------- |
+| daemon not running | shim fails (connection error) |
+| socket missing     | immediate error               |
+| malformed response | decode failure                |
+| command not found  | exit 127                      |
+
+---
+
+## 13. Implementation Checklist
+
+* [ ] Dockerfile builds successfully
+* [ ] daemon starts on container launch
+* [ ] socket created at `/tmp/tool_runner.sock`
+* [ ] shim intercepts commands via PATH
+* [ ] shim communicates with daemon
+* [ ] stdout/stderr preserved
+* [ ] exit codes preserved
+* [ ] truncation enforced
+
+---
+
+## 14. Minimal Acceptance Test
+
+```bash
+docker exec container bash -lc "echo hello"
+docker exec container bash -lc "cat /etc/passwd | grep root"
+docker exec container bash -lc "cat large_file.txt"
+```
+
+Verify:
+
+* correct output
+* truncated when large
+* no noticeable delay beyond ~50ms
+
+---
+
+## 15. Summary
+
+This system:
+
+* avoids BEAM startup overhead
+* preserves Unix execution semantics
+* centralizes control in Elixir
+* remains simple and composable
+
+It matches the intended pattern:
+
+> “Use the real environment, intercept selectively, and control outputs centrally.”
