+# Envoy API Proxy Sidecar
+
+This container provides secure API key management for LLM providers (OpenAI Codex and Anthropic Claude).
+
+## Purpose
+
+The Envoy proxy acts as a sidecar that:
+- Holds API keys securely (isolated from agent container)
+- Automatically injects authentication headers
+- Proxies requests to LLM API endpoints
+
+## Architecture
+
+- **IP Address**: 172.30.0.30 on awf-net
+- **Ports**:
+  - 10000: OpenAI API proxy (Codex)
+  - 10001: Anthropic API proxy (Claude)
+
+## Configuration
+
+API keys are passed via environment variables:
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - Optional OpenAI API key
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - Optional Anthropic API key
+
+The entrypoint script dynamically generates `envoy.yaml` with:
+- Request header injection for authentication
+- TLS termination for upstream connections
+- HTTP/2 support for API endpoints
+
+## Security
+
+- No API keys exposed to agent container
+- Agent only receives proxy URLs (OPENAI_BASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL)
+- All unnecessary Linux capabilities dropped
+- Resource limits: 512MB memory, 100 PIDs
+
+## Usage
+
+Enable via CLI flag:
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+awf --enable-api-proxy --allow-domains api.openai.com,api.anthropic.com -- command
+```
+
+## Example Workflows
+
+### Codex Usage
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+awf --enable-api-proxy \
+  --allow-domains api.openai.com \
+  -- curl http://api-proxy:10000/v1/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json"
+```
+
+### Claude Code Usage
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."

+# API Proxy Sidecar for Credential Management
+
+The AWF firewall supports an optional Envoy-based API proxy sidecar that securely holds LLM API credentials and automatically injects authentication headers.
+
+## Overview
+
+When enabled, the API proxy sidecar:
+- **Isolates credentials**: API keys never exposed to agent container
+- **Auto-authentication**: Automatically injects Bearer tokens and API keys
+- **Dual provider support**: Supports both OpenAI (Codex) and Anthropic (Claude) APIs
+- **Transparent proxying**: Agent code uses standard environment variables
+
+## Architecture
+
+```

+  api.openai.com          api.anthropic.com
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Set API keys in environment
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+
+# Enable API proxy sidecar
+awf --enable-api-proxy \
+  --allow-domains api.openai.com,api.anthropic.com \
+  -- your-command
+```
+
+### Codex (OpenAI) Example
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+
+awf --enable-api-proxy \
+  --allow-domains api.openai.com \
+  -- npx @openai/codex -p "write a hello world function"
+```
+
+The agent container will automatically use `http://api-proxy:10000` as the base URL.
+
+### Claude Code Example
+
+```bash
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+
+awf --enable-api-proxy \
+  --allow-domains api.anthropic.com \
+  -- claude-code "write a hello world function"
+```
+
+The agent container will automatically use `http://api-proxy:10001` as the base URL.
+
+### Both Providers
+
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+
+awf --enable-api-proxy \
+  --allow-domains api.openai.com,api.anthropic.com \
+  -- your-multi-llm-tool
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+The sidecar sets these environment variables in the agent container:
+
+| Variable | Value | Description |
+|----------|-------|-------------|
+| `OPENAI_BASE_URL` | `http://api-proxy:10000` | OpenAI API proxy endpoint |
+| `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` | `http://api-proxy:10001` | Anthropic API proxy endpoint |
+
+These are standard environment variables recognized by:
+- OpenAI Python SDK
+- OpenAI Node.js SDK
+- Anthropic Python SDK
+- Anthropic TypeScript SDK
+- Codex CLI tools
+- Claude Code CLI
+
+## Security Benefits
+
+### Credential Isolation
+
+API keys are held in the sidecar container, not the agent:
+- Agent code cannot read API keys from environment
+- Compromised agent cannot exfiltrate credentials
+- Keys never written to disk or logs
+
+### Network Isolation
+
+The proxy enforces domain-level egress control:
+- Agent can only reach `api-proxy` hostname
+- Sidecar proxies to whitelisted domains only
+- Squid proxy still enforces L7 filtering
+
+### Resource Limits
+
+The sidecar has strict resource constraints:
+- 512MB memory limit
+- 100 process limit
+- All unnecessary capabilities dropped
+- `no-new-privileges` security option
+
+## How It Works
+
+### 1. Container Startup
+
+When `--enable-api-proxy` is set:
+1. Envoy sidecar starts at 172.30.0.30
+2. API keys passed via environment variables
+3. Entrypoint generates `envoy.yaml` dynamically
+4. Agent container waits for sidecar health check
+
+### 2. Request Flow
+
+```
+Agent Code
+  ↓ (makes HTTP request to api-proxy:10000)
+Envoy Sidecar
+  ↓ (injects Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY)
+  ↓ (TLS connection to api.openai.com)
+OpenAI API
+```
+
+### 3. Header Injection
+
+Envoy automatically adds:
+- **OpenAI**: `Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY`
+- **Anthropic**: `x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and `anthropic-version: 2023-06-01`
+
+## Configuration Reference
+
+### CLI Options
+
+```bash
+awf --enable-api-proxy [OPTIONS] -- COMMAND
+```
+
+**Required environment variables** (at least one):
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - OpenAI API key
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - Anthropic API key
+
+**Recommended domain whitelist**:
+- `api.openai.com` - For OpenAI/Codex
+- `api.anthropic.com` - For Anthropic/Claude
+
+### Container Configuration
+
+The sidecar container:
+- **Image**: `ghcr.io/github/gh-aw-firewall/envoy:latest`
+- **Base**: `envoyproxy/envoy:v1.31-latest`
+- **Network**: `awf-net` at `172.30.0.30`
+- **Ports**: 10000 (OpenAI), 10001 (Anthropic)
+
+### Health Check
+
+Envoy healthcheck on port 10000:
+- **Interval**: 5s
+- **Timeout**: 3s
+- **Retries**: 5
+- **Start period**: 5s
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### API keys not detected
+
+```
+⚠️  API proxy enabled but no API keys found in environment
+   Set OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to use the proxy
+```
+
+**Solution**: Export API keys before running awf:
+```bash
+export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
+# or
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
+```
+
+### Sidecar health check failing
+
+Check if Envoy container started:
+```bash
+docker ps | grep awf-api-proxy
+```
+
+View Envoy logs:
+```bash
+docker logs awf-api-proxy
+```
+
+### API requests timing out
+
+Ensure domains are whitelisted:
+```bash
+--allow-domains api.openai.com,api.anthropic.com
+```
+
+Check Squid logs for denials:
+```bash
+docker exec awf-squid cat /var/log/squid/access.log | grep DENIED
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Only supports OpenAI and Anthropic APIs
+- Keys must be in environment (not file-based)
+- No support for Azure OpenAI endpoints
+- No request/response logging (by design for security)
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements:
+- Support for additional LLM providers
+- Request rate limiting
+- Token usage tracking
+- Key rotation support
+- Vault integration for key storage

Subject: [PATCH 09/16] feat: replace Envoy with Node.js proxy that routes
 through Squid

Replace Envoy-based API proxy with simpler Node.js implementation that:
- Uses Express + http-proxy-middleware for HTTP proxying
- Routes ALL traffic through Squid via HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY env vars
- Respects domain whitelisting enforced by Squid ACLs
- Injects authentication headers (Authorization, x-api-key)
- Healthcheck at /health endpoint instead of Envoy admin port
- Much simpler implementation (~70 lines vs 166 lines)

Implementation:
- Created containers/api-proxy/ with Node.js proxy (Dockerfile, package.json, server.js, README.md)
- Removed containers/envoy/ directory
- Updated docker-manager.ts to configure HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY pointing to Squid
- Updated healthcheck to use http://localhost:10000/health
- Changed image name from envoy to api-proxy in GHCR
- Updated all documentation to reflect Node.js proxy and Squid routing architecture
- Updated src/types.ts to mention Node.js proxy and Squid routing
- Added test to verify HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY configuration
- All 168 tests pass

+# AWF API Proxy Sidecar
+
+Node.js-based API proxy that keeps LLM API credentials isolated from the agent container while routing all traffic through Squid to respect domain whitelisting.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+Agent Container (172.30.0.20)
+  ↓ HTTP request to api-proxy:10000
+API Proxy Sidecar (172.30.0.30)
+  ↓ Injects Authorization header
+  ↓ Routes via HTTP_PROXY (172.30.0.10:3128)
+Squid Proxy (172.30.0.10)
+  ↓ Domain whitelist enforcement
+  ↓ TLS connection
+api.openai.com or api.anthropic.com
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Credential Isolation**: API keys held only in sidecar, never exposed to agent
+- **Squid Routing**: All traffic routes through Squid via HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY
+- **Domain Whitelisting**: Squid enforces ACL filtering on all egress traffic
+- **Header Injection**: Automatically adds Authorization and x-api-key headers
+- **Health Checks**: /health endpoint on both ports
+
+## Ports
+
+- **10000**: OpenAI API proxy (api.openai.com)
+- **10001**: Anthropic API proxy (api.anthropic.com)
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+Required (at least one):
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - OpenAI API key for authentication
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - Anthropic API key for authentication
+
+Set by AWF:
+- `HTTP_PROXY` - Squid proxy URL (http://172.30.0.10:3128)
+- `HTTPS_PROXY` - Squid proxy URL (http://172.30.0.10:3128)
+
+## Security
+
+- Runs as non-root user (apiproxy)
+- All capabilities dropped (cap_drop: ALL)
+- Memory limits (512MB)
+- Process limits (100 PIDs)
+- no-new-privileges security option
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+cd containers/api-proxy
+docker build -t awf-api-proxy .
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Start proxy with test key
+docker run -p 10000:10000 \
+  -e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-test123 \
+  -e HTTP_PROXY=http://squid:3128 \
+  -e HTTPS_PROXY=http://squid:3128 \
+  awf-api-proxy
+
+# Test health endpoint
+curl http://localhost:10000/health
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+- Built on Node.js 22 Alpine Linux
+- Uses Express for HTTP server
+- Uses http-proxy-middleware for proxying
+- Naturally respects HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY environment variables
+- Simpler and more maintainable than Envoy configuration

-# Envoy API Proxy Sidecar
-
-This container provides secure API key management for LLM providers (OpenAI Codex and Anthropic Claude).
-
-## Purpose
-
-The Envoy proxy acts as a sidecar that:
-- Holds API keys securely (isolated from agent container)
-- Automatically injects authentication headers
-- Proxies requests to LLM API endpoints
-
-## Architecture
-
-- **IP Address**: 172.30.0.30 on awf-net
-- **Ports**:
-  - 10000: OpenAI API proxy (Codex)
-  - 10001: Anthropic API proxy (Claude)
-
-## Configuration
-
-API keys are passed via environment variables:
-- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - Optional OpenAI API key
-- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - Optional Anthropic API key
-
-The entrypoint script dynamically generates `envoy.yaml` with:
-- Request header injection for authentication
-- TLS termination for upstream connections
-- HTTP/2 support for API endpoints
-
-## Security
-
-- No API keys exposed to agent container
-- Agent only receives proxy URLs (OPENAI_BASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL)
-- All unnecessary Linux capabilities dropped
-- Resource limits: 512MB memory, 100 PIDs
-
-## Usage
-
-Enable via CLI flag:
-```bash
-export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
-awf --enable-api-proxy --allow-domains api.openai.com,api.anthropic.com -- command
-```
-
-## Example Workflows
-
-### Codex Usage
-```bash
-export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
-awf --enable-api-proxy \
-  --allow-domains api.openai.com \
-  -- curl http://api-proxy:10000/v1/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json"
-```
-
-### Claude Code Usage
-```bash
-export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
-awf --enable-api-proxy \
-  --allow-domains api.anthropic.com \
-  -- curl http://api-proxy:10001/v1/messages -H "Content-Type: application/json"
