ducoterra b273bfef09 name the sandbox's working directory, and drive phases through it
Two features, one shared reason: what the sandbox calls things decides
what a run tells you afterwards.

The cwd is now mounted at the path it has on the host and that is the
working directory, so pwd, an error the agent quotes, a commit message and
the window title a harness derives from the cwd all name this project
instead of reading the same as every sandbox in the session. The mount is
unchanged: same directory, same rw, same :z, still the only writable one.

Only the destination changed, and a destination is where a bind mount can
do damage -- it hides whatever the image already had there. So
mirror_block_of() refuses the paths the image or the sandbox owns (/usr,
/etc, /var, /opt, /bin, /sbin, /lib*, /boot, /proc, /sys, /dev, /root,
/run, /tmp, /home, /home/sandbox*) and / itself, while /home/<user>/...
mirrors: the one standard hierarchy where work lives, and the one whose
per-user tree never meets the container's /home/sandbox volume or the
read-only .agents share inside it.

/tmp is what set the shape, and it was measured rather than assumed: with
--tmpfs /tmp and -v /tmp/x:/tmp/x in one run podman puts the tmpfs on top,
so pwd prints the right path, writes succeed, and the project is not there.
A failure that quiet earns a refusal plus a line of output instead:
workdir_note in --print-policy, a comment in --dry-run, one log line on a
real run. --workdir DIR still chooses the mount point; onto a refused path
it is honoured (it was asked for) and warned about. /project, the one
directory baked into the image, is every fallback, so a workdir always
exists -- --no-cwd included.

ai-sandbox-autophase runs a .agents/phases/ pipeline with the split the
sandbox forces: every executor agent and the .agents/validate.sh gate
inside, the commits and the pushes outside. The gate is in the writable
mount, so running it on the host is running agent-editable bash on the
host; the git remote is deliberately unreachable in there, because an agent
that can push can ship what you are about to review. It runs your launcher,
not a copy of it -- the definition is read out of your rc files and never
called, which is what lets --status and --dry-run promise no token fetch,
no build, no container. Host git runs with an empty hooks path and no ext::
transport, and delivery is refused if a sandboxed unit rewrote .git/config
or planted a hook. Needs --no-interactive to go with --no-tty: an
unattended run must not leave stdin open on your keyboard, and the two are
now separate choices on both sides.

Tests and tooling, most of it forced by what the two changes exposed:
mirror_block_of is extracted from the script and asked about /usr and
/home/sandbox, which a test cannot create (the 06_entrypoint.sh pattern),
and both real branches are driven from a scratch dir under $HOME, since
$TMPDIR is always the fallback -- which is why the whole suite had only
ever seen /project. e2e/12 holds a real container to the same promise,
including that /project, /home/sandbox and a home-volume marker survive a
mirrored run. The "nothing was started" checks now compare the set of
container ids before and after instead of counting every sandbox on the
machine, so a session you have open is not a test failure; the pty cases
fall back to python3 where util-linux's script is not installed.
shellcheck covers both programs, the completion file and the fixtures, so
the completion builds are word-by-word now, and a colon in the project path
is refused with the reason instead of podman's "invalid option type".

ducoterra 6a70dd2b2b add bash completion, flags mirrored from parse_args
Typing `ai-sandbox --` gave nothing, and a policy surface this wide
(egress modes, mounts, the agents share, the pi bridge, per-subcommand
flags) is not something to retype from memory. Nothing in the script or
install.sh emitted completions, so this adds one as a standalone file
rather than growing the script.

It mirrors parse_args() plus the per-subcommand parsers, and follows the
same rules the script does: a non-flag word that is not a subcommand ends
sandbox parsing, so after it the completer offers nothing rather than
flags that would silently become harness arguments; build, update, doctor
and clean only offer the flags they actually accept, since each dies on
an unknown one; inspect takes the full policy set, so it gets the full
list. Values complete from local state only -- --net and --harness from
their fixed modes, --env from exported host variables, --mount and
--workdir from directories, --allow from the two documented allow files.
Nothing here resolves a name or touches the network. Aliases that point
at the script (alias pi=ai-sandbox) register too, which is why the source
line belongs after the alias in ~/.bashrc.

Verified by driving COMP_WORDS for each case above and diffing the flag
list against parse_args(); bash -n is clean. Note the Makefile lint list
does not yet include contrib/, so shellcheck has not seen this file.
