 ## Project Overview
 
-This repository contains a dual-mode setup script for creating OrbStack-based development sandboxes tailored for Claude Code with Elixir/Erlang, browser automation, and PostgreSQL.
+This repository provides scripts for creating isolated development sandboxes for Claude Code on macOS (OrbStack) and Windows (Hyper-V). Both platforms offer full VM isolation for safely running AI coding assistants with elevated permissions.

+- **macOS**: OrbStack VMs (ARM64 Apple Silicon)
+- **Windows**: Hyper-V VMs (maximum security, stronger than WSL2)

+### Security Patterns (macOS/Linux)
+
+- **Input validation**: Use `validate_vm_name()`, `validate_vnc_password()`, `validate_safe_input()` for all user inputs
+- **Safe config loading**: Use `load_config_safely()` which parses key=value pairs without shell execution (never `source`)
+- **Credential passing**: Base64-encode values before passing to VM via `orb run` to prevent shell injection
+- **Download helper**: Use `download_verified_binary()` for binary downloads (supports optional checksum verification)
+- **Temp files**: Always use `mktemp` with restrictive permissions (`chmod 600`/`700`)
+- **Symlinks**: Check with `[ ! -e path ]` (not `[ ! -L path ]`) to avoid overwriting existing files
+- **Architecture detection**: Use `detect_architecture()` for portable binary downloads

+
+### Security Patterns (Windows)
+
+- **Input validation**: Use `Test-GitName`, `Test-GitEmail`, `Test-VMPassword`, `Test-VNCPassword` for all user inputs
+- **Config file security**: ACL set to owner-only before writing content (no race condition)
+- **Config validation**: Loaded config.env values are re-validated to detect tampering
+- **Checksum verification**: Ubuntu image verified against SHA256 checksums from Canonical
+- **Cleanup on failure**: `Invoke-Cleanup` removes partial VM, disk, and ISO on errors
+- **Hosts file backup**: Created before modification, removed on success, kept on failure
+- **Cloud-init ISO**: Contains passwords in plaintext; user reminded to remove after first boot

+- Host filesystem mounted by default
+- Can launch Windows executables from Linux

+# Windows Hyper-V Implementation Plan
+
+This document describes the plan for implementing secure, isolated development sandboxes on Windows using Hyper-V instead of WSL2.
+
+## Why Hyper-V Over WSL2
+
+### WSL2 Security Limitations
+
+| Issue | Impact |
+|-------|--------|
+| **Shared kernel** | All WSL2 instances share Microsoft's Linux kernel |
+| **Host filesystem access** | `/mnt/c` mounted by default, can access Windows files |
+| **Bidirectional execution** | Linux can launch Windows executables |
+| **Firewall bypass** | WSL2 outbound traffic bypasses Windows firewall rules |
+| **Process visibility** | Windows has limited visibility into WSL2 processes |
+| **Credential exposure** | Linux processes can potentially access Windows credentials |
+
+### CVE History
+
+- **CVE-2024-20681**: Local privilege escalation to SYSTEM via WSL
+- **CVE-2025-9074**: Container escape via WSL2 filesystem sharing
+- **CVE-2025-53788**: Undisclosed flaw in WSL/host communication
+
+### Hyper-V Isolation Model
+
+| Feature | Benefit |
+|---------|---------|
+| **Separate kernel** | Each VM runs its own Linux kernel |
+| **Complete filesystem isolation** | No access to Windows files by default |
+| **Own network stack** | Separate IP, no firewall bypass |
+| **No Windows integration** | Cannot launch Windows programs |
+| **Snapshot support** | Can checkpoint and restore VM state |
+| **Hardware isolation** | Uses VT-x/AMD-V virtualization |

+# Collect credentials
+1. Load config.env if exists (git name/email)
+2. Prompt for missing values
+3. Prompt for VM password (not stored)
+4. Generate SSH key pair for VM access
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Image Preparation
+
+```powershell
+# Prepare Ubuntu cloud image
+1. Download Ubuntu cloud image (VHDX format)
+2. Cache in $env:ProgramData\HyperV-DevSandbox\Images
+3. Copy and resize for new VM
+4. Generate cloud-init ISO with:
+   - User account configuration
+   - SSH key injection
+   - Package installation
+   - Setup script embedding
+```
+
+### Phase 4: VM Creation
+
+```powershell
+# Create Hyper-V VM
+1. Create Generation 2 VM (UEFI)
+2. Configure resources (CPU, RAM, disk)
+3. Disable Secure Boot (for Ubuntu)
+4. Attach cloud-init ISO
+5. Disable integration services for isolation
+6. Enable nested virtualization (for Docker)
+```
+
+### Phase 5: Provisioning
+
+```powershell
+# Start and provision
+1. Start VM
+2. Wait for IP assignment
+3. Add to hosts file (<vmname>.local)
+4. Cloud-init runs setup_env.sh internally
+5. Display connection instructions
+```
+
+## Cloud-Init Configuration
+
+```yaml
+#cloud-config
+hostname: <vmname>
+users:
+  - name: dev
+    sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
+    ssh_authorized_keys:
+      - <generated-public-key>
+packages:
+  - openssh-server
+  - curl
+  - git
+write_files:
+  - path: /tmp/setup_env.sh
+    content: <base64-encoded-script>
+runcmd:
+  - bash /tmp/setup_env.sh --non-interactive --yes
+```
+
+## Security Hardening
+
+### VM Configuration
+
+```powershell
+# Disable integration services for maximum isolation
+Disable-VMIntegrationService -Name "Guest Service Interface"
+Disable-VMIntegrationService -Name "Heartbeat"
+# Keep Time Synchronization and Shutdown for usability
+```
+
+### Network Isolation Options
+
+1. **NAT (Default)**: VM can access internet, isolated from LAN
+2. **Internal Only**: VM can only communicate with host
+3. **Private**: Completely isolated network
+
+### Firewall Rules (Optional)
+
+```powershell
+# Allow SSH access only
+New-NetFirewallRule -Name "HyperV-SSH-$VMName" `
+    -Direction Inbound -LocalPort 22 -Protocol TCP `
+    -RemoteAddress <VM-IP> -Action Allow
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Windows Edition
+
+- Windows 10/11 Pro
+- Windows 10/11 Enterprise
+- Windows 10/11 Education
+- Windows Server 2016+
+
+**Not supported**: Windows 10/11 Home (no Hyper-V)
+
+### Hardware
+
+- 64-bit processor with SLAT (Second Level Address Translation)
+- VM Monitor Mode extensions (VT-x on Intel, AMD-V on AMD)
+- Minimum 4 GB RAM (8+ GB recommended)
+- BIOS/UEFI virtualization enabled
+
+### Software
+
+- Hyper-V enabled: `Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All`
+- Windows ADK (for cloud-init ISO creation): [Download](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install)
+
+## Usage
+
+### Create Sandbox
+
+```powershell
+# Basic usage (run as Administrator)
+.\setup_env_windows.ps1 -VMName my-project
+
+# With custom resources
+.\setup_env_windows.ps1 -VMName my-project -MemoryGB 16 -DiskGB 100 -CPUs 8
+
+# Replace existing VM
+.\setup_env_windows.ps1 -VMName my-project -Force
+```
+
+### Connect to Sandbox
+
+```powershell
+# Via SSH (recommended)
+ssh -i $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_ed25519_<vmname> dev@<vmname>.local
+
+# Via Hyper-V console
+vmconnect localhost <vmname>
+```
+
+### Manage Sandbox
+
+```powershell
+# Stop VM
+Stop-VM -Name <vmname>
+
+# Start VM
+Start-VM -Name <vmname>
+
+# Get VM IP
+(Get-VM -Name <vmname> | Get-VMNetworkAdapter).IPAddresses
+
+# Delete VM completely
+Stop-VM -Name <vmname> -Force
+Remove-VM -Name <vmname> -Force
+Remove-Item -Path "$env:ProgramData\HyperV-DevSandbox\VMs\<vmname>" -Recurse -Force
+```
+
+## Comparison: OrbStack vs Hyper-V
+
+| Feature | OrbStack (macOS) | Hyper-V (Windows) |
+|---------|------------------|-------------------|
+| Host OS | macOS only | Windows only |
+| Setup complexity | Low | Medium |
+| Isolation | Full VM | Full VM |
+| DNS | `*.orb.local` auto | Manual hosts file |
+| SSH | Automatic | Key-based |
+| Filesystem sharing | Configurable | Disabled by default |
+| Performance | Near-native | Near-native |
+| Nested virtualization | Yes | Yes |
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Windows ADK Required**: Cloud-init ISO creation requires `oscdimg` from Windows ADK
+2. **Manual DNS**: No automatic DNS like OrbStack's `*.orb.local`
+3. **Key Management**: SSH keys generated per-VM, stored in user's .ssh folder
+4. **No Clipboard Sharing**: Disabled for security (can be enabled if needed)
+5. **Generation 2 Only**: Uses UEFI, no legacy BIOS support
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+- [ ] Add option for WSL2 (for users who prefer convenience over security)
+- [ ] Implement automatic DNS via Windows hosts file or local DNS server
+- [ ] Add PowerShell ISO creation without Windows ADK dependency
+- [ ] Support for VM templates/checkpoints
+- [ ] Integration with Windows Terminal for easy access
+- [ ] Optional WinRM configuration for PowerShell remoting
