A connection that cannot point at the machine it is running on

"Nothing runs on the LLeMbas host" is the sentence the absent sandbox and the
absent local MCP rest on, and an SSH profile aimed at 127.0.0.1 walked straight
past it -- through a real login, with every gate in policy.py still applying,
onto the machine holding the database and the Fernet key. From the SSH layer
down it is indistinguishable from a container on the network, so nothing here
could have noticed.

One switch, three positions: never, one named port, anywhere. The middle one is
the one with a real use -- a container that published its SSH port on the
loopback interface is genuinely somewhere else -- and port 22 is refused even
there, because that one is this host's own sshd.

Enforced in five places, because a row can predate a setting: saving a profile,
`session.resolve` (the control every agent tool, the terminal and the canvas go
through), the composer's picker, browsing, and the draft the panels open against
before a chat exists. Check refuses before it opens its socket rather than after.

And the recognition never resolves a name on the request path. `refusal` runs
several times per page render; the first version of this looked names up inline
and the suite went from two minutes to not finishing. Literal forms are decided
from the string, a name is settled where a network call is already expected, and
the answer lives on the row. The gap that leaves is written down rather than
discovered.

"""Whether an SSH connection is allowed to point back at this machine.
The whole design of agent chats rests on one sentence: nothing runs on the host
LLeMbas is installed on. That is why there is no local sandbox, why local MCP
over stdio is absent, and why "the security of an agent chat is the security of
the host behind its profile" is a statement anybody can check.
An SSH profile pointed at `127.0.0.1` walks straight past it. The commands go
over SSH, through a real login, and every gate in `policy.py` still applies --
and they land on the machine holding the database, the Fernet key and every
other user's encrypted credentials. Nothing else in the codebase can tell that
apart from a container on the network, because from the SSH layer's point of
view it is not different.
So it is a decision an administrator makes deliberately, in one of three
positions:
- **off** (the default, including on an instance upgrading into this) -- no
connection may point at loopback, and one that already does is refused rather
than quietly kept working.
- **port** -- allowed on exactly one port. This is the position that has a real
use: a container that publishes its SSH port on the host's loopback interface
is genuinely somewhere else, and `127.0.0.1:2222` is how you reach it. Port 22
is refused even here, because that is the host's own sshd.
- **on** -- allowed anywhere. For somebody who has read the paragraph above and
means it.
## Literal or resolved, and never resolved on the request path
Both are checked, at two different moments, and the split is not tidiness.
The literal forms -- `127.0.0.1`, `::1`, `localhost`, anything in
`127.0.0.0/8` -- are decided from the string with no I/O at all. That is the
check `refusal` makes, and it is why `refusal` can be called from a page render,
from `resolve_tools` and from the composer's profile listing.
A *name* that resolves to loopback needs `getaddrinfo`, which is a blocking
network call, and putting one of those behind a check that runs several times
per request is how a page render comes to wait out a DNS timeout for a host
nobody is even talking to. The first version of this file did exactly that and
the test suite went from two minutes to not finishing. So resolution happens
**only where a network call is already expected and already awaited** -- saving
a connection, and pressing Check -- and the answer is written to
`SshProfile.resolves_here`, which the request path reads for free.
The consequence, stated rather than discovered: a name whose DNS changes to
point here after it was saved is not noticed until it is saved or checked again.
That is a real gap and it is the right trade. The alternative is a DNS lookup in
front of every agent page load, and a guard that makes the application feel
broken is a guard somebody turns off.
A refusal is never silent. Every caller that has somewhere to put a sentence
puts this one there, because "this connection cannot be used" with no reason is
indistinguishable from a bug.

"""An SSH connection pointed at the machine LLeMbas itself runs on.
The whole design of agent chats is one sentence -- nothing runs on this host --
and a profile pointed at 127.0.0.1 walks past it while looking, from the SSH
layer down, exactly like a container on the network. So it is an administrator's
decision in three positions, and what is pinned here is that every one of them is
enforced where it has to be rather than only in the form.
Note the conftest: the suite runs with the switch **open**, because the tests
that stand up a real asyncssh server can only listen on loopback. Every test in
this file closes it explicitly, which is also why they are together in one file.
