fix(tools): stop workspace guard misreading scheme-less URLs

[maxmilian]

Description

When restrict_to_workspace is enabled, the exec tool's guardCommand
extracted every /...-led run from the command and treated each as an absolute
path. A scheme-less URL — which curl accepts without an explicit http://
prefix, e.g. curl -s "wttr.in/Beijing?T" — had its /Beijing?T component
matched, resolved with filepath.Abs, and filepath.Rel(cwd, …) turned it into
../../Beijing?T, tripping the .. "path outside working dir" check. Reporters
note this makes most curl-based skills unusable.

Fix

Skip a /path match only when the run of characters immediately before the
slash parses as a hostname: host-legal bytes [A-Za-z0-9.-], not starting with
-, containing a ., not starting/ending with ..

Because a skipped match is glued to its host with no separator, the shell
treats the whole word as a single URL/relative token — never a standalone
absolute path. The skip therefore cannot whitelist a real escape:

Command	Left token	Skipped?	Result
curl wttr.in/Beijing	wttr.in	✅ host	allowed
curl 192.168.1.1/status	192.168.1.1	✅ host	allowed
tar -xC/etc/cron.d …	-xC (starts -)	❌	blocked
cat $x/etc/passwd	x (no dot)	❌	blocked
java -cp app.jar:/etc/passwd	empty (walk stops at :)	❌	blocked
scp host:/etc/passwd	empty (stops at :)	❌	blocked
cat /etc/passwd	empty (stops at space)	❌	blocked

.. traversal is still caught by the existing pre-loop check; the existing
web-scheme (//host after http:/https:/…) skip is unchanged.

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

AI Code Generation

• 🤖 Fully AI-generated (AI-written, human-reviewed + validated)

The fix approach was human-selected and the security boundary was hardened
across three independent adversarial review passes — two of which found and
closed sandbox-escape classes (flag-glued -C paths, and : path-lists) before
this PR was opened.

Technical Context

• Root cause: pkg/tools/shell.go absolutePathPattern (/[^\s"']+) matches a
  URL's host-relative path component; the prior exemption only covered // after
  a web scheme, not scheme-less hosts.
• New helper hostLikeBeforeSlash gates the skip on a hostname check.
• : is deliberately excluded from the host-character walk so classpath /
  remote-spec path-lists (java -cp a.jar:/abs, scp host:/abs) are not mistaken
  for host:port and stay blocked.

Test Environment

• OS: macOS (Darwin) · Go 1.25
• go test ./pkg/tools/: new TestShellTool_SchemelessURLGuard passes (5
  scheme-less URLs allowed + 5 escape regressions blocked); existing
  TestShellTool_URLsNotBlocked / URLBypassPrevented / PathTraversalVariants
  / RestrictToWorkspace / SafePaths all pass.
• TestShellTool_DevNullAllowed and TestShellTool_FileURISandboxing fail
  locally only due to the macOS /tmp→/private/tmp symlink (pre-existing on
  main, unrelated to this change); they pass on Linux CI.

Checklist

• I have read and tested the AI-generated code
• gofmt-clean and go vet passes
• Added test coverage (both directions, incl. escape regressions)
• No new shell-injection / path-traversal surface

Hi @maxmilian , thanks for the PR,

pkg/tools/shell.go and pkg/tools/shell.go introduce a new sandbox bypass for dotted relative paths. hostLikeBeforeSlash() treats any foo.bar/... token as URL-like and skips the existing filepath.Abs / EvalSymlinks / Rel checks entirely.

In practice, in a workspace that contains a versioned symlink like foo.bar -> /, running cat foo.bar/etc/hosts now bypasses the guard and reads outside the workspace, whereas it was blocked prior to this PR.

We need to either properly identify a true URL token-instead of just matching any prefix with a dot-or re-run the validation on the full token before triggering the continue statement.

[afjcjsbx]

hostLikeBeforeSlash() now treats any foo.bar/... token as a scheme-less URL and skips the path check before EvalSymlinks(). That means a relative path inside the workspace can evade the guard if it contains a dot and resolves through a symlink outside the workspace.

Repro:

1. Create safe.example -> /tmp/secret inside the workspace
2. Run cat safe.example/secret.txt

On main this is blocked by the workspace guard; on this PR it succeeds and reads the file, because safe.example/secret.txt is classified as a URL-like token.

Could we tighten the heuristic and add a regression test for a dotted symlink/path case? Right now this looks like a security regression, not just an edge case.
