8+ ### [ problem-discovered] GitHub CLI auth fails in containers
9+
10+ ** Problem** : Mounting ` ~/.config/gh/ ` doesn't work for GitHub CLI authentication in containers.
11+
12+ ** Root Cause** : Modern ` gh ` uses secure keyring storage instead of plain text files:
13+ - ** Host** : Tokens stored in macOS Keychain/Linux Secret Service/Windows Credential Manager
14+ - ** Container** : No keyring access, auth fails even with mounted config directory
15+ - ** Split State** : Config files present but tokens inaccessible
16+
17+ ** Technical Details** :
18+ ``` bash
19+ # Host auth state:
20+ ~ /.config/gh/config.yml # Configuration
21+ ~ /.config/gh/hosts.yml # May contain tokens OR keyring references
22+ System Keyring # Actual tokens (secure storage)
23+
24+ # Container reality:
25+ /root/.config/gh/config.yml # ✅ Mounted successfully
26+ /root/.config/gh/hosts.yml # ✅ Mounted but may reference unavailable keyring
27+ No System Keyring # ❌ DBus/keyring services not available
28+ ```
29+
30+ ** Why This Matters** : Current codebase has complete auth system for Claude/AWS/GCloud but GitHub CLI missing.
31+
32+ ** Immediate Impact** : Cannot create PRs or manage GitHub repos from within containers.
33+
34+ ** Solutions Research** :
35+ 1 . ** Environment Variable** : ` GH_TOKEN="ghp_xxx" ` - simple, headless-friendly
36+ 2 . ** Insecure Storage** : ` gh auth login --insecure-storage ` on host, then mount works
37+ 3 . ** Token Injection** : ` echo $TOKEN | gh auth login --with-token ` in container
38+ 4 . ** Mount Strategy** : Add explicit GitHub CLI auth mounting to claude.sh
39+
40+ ** Status** : Research complete, need implementation decision.

46+ ### [ enhancement] Controlled auth directory mounting
47+
48+ ** Problem** : Symlinking all /root/* was too broad and risky.
49+
50+ ** Better approach** : Explicit, controlled mounts with proper permissions:
51+ ``` bash
52+ # claude.sh mounts:
53+ ~ /.claude → /root/.claude # read-write (auth tokens)
54+ ~ /.config → /root/.config:ro # read-only (XDG tools)
55+ ~ /.aws → /root/.aws:ro # read-only
56+ ~ /.ssh → /root/.ssh:ro # read-only
57+ ~ /.gitconfig → /root/.gitconfig:ro # read-only
58+
59+ # docker-entrypoint.sh:
60+ - Symlinks specific directories to /home/claude
61+ - Sets XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/root/.config
62+ - Maintains controlled access list
63+ ```
64+
65+ ** Benefits** :
66+ - ✅ Security: Read-only where appropriate
67+ - ✅ XDG compliance: Entire .config dir for gh/gcloud/etc
68+ - ✅ Explicit: Clear what's accessible
69+ - ✅ Safe: No unexpected file exposure
70+
71+ ** Status** : -> ** IMPLEMENTED**
72+
73+ ### [ enhancement-implemented] Consolidate auth options to --auth-with pattern
74+
75+ ** Problem** : Auth flags conflict with common conventions (-v for volumes vs Vertex).
76+
77+ ** Current mess** :
78+ - ` -c/--claude ` → Claude app (OAuth)
79+ - ` -a/--api-key ` → Anthropic API
80+ - ` -b/--bedrock ` → AWS Bedrock
81+ - ` -v/--vertex ` → Google Vertex AI (blocks -v for volumes!)
82+
83+ ** Solution** : Single ` --auth-with ` parameter:
84+ ``` bash
85+ claude.sh --auth-with vertex . # Explicit auth method
86+ claude.sh -v ~ /.ssh:/root/.ssh . # -v now free for volumes
87+ ```
88+
89+ ** Implementation** :
90+ 1 . ✅ Added ` --auth-with METHOD ` parsing in claude.sh
91+ 2 . ✅ Kept old flags for backward compatibility (with deprecation warnings)
92+ 3 . ✅ Freed up ` -v ` for volume mounting (Docker convention)
93+ 4 . ✅ Updated claude-yolo to use ` -v ` instead of ` --mount `
94+
95+ ** Benefits** :
96+ - ✅ Follows Docker convention (-v for volumes)
97+ - ✅ Cleaner, extensible auth interface
98+ - ✅ No more flag conflicts
99+ - ✅ Better CLI UX
100+
101+ ** Status** : ✅ ** IMPLEMENTED**
102+
103+ ### [ enhancement-implemented] Generalized config mounting
104+
105+ ** Problem** : Hardcoding each tool's config mount doesn't scale.
106+
107+ ** Root cause** : Mount to /root, run as claude user -> symlink hell.
108+
109+ ** Initial Proposal** : Mount entire ~ /.config, use XDG standards.
110+
111+ ** Implemented Solution** : Added flexible volume mounting via ` -v ` argument in claude-yolo.
112+
113+ ``` bash
114+ # New usage - users can mount any config they need:
115+ claude-yolo -v ~ /.gitconfig:/root/.gitconfig .
116+ claude-yolo -v ~ /.ssh:/root/.ssh:ro .
117+ claude-yolo -v ~ /tools:/tools -v ~ /data:/data .
118+
119+ # Implementation in claude-yolo:
120+ - Parse -v/--mount arguments, collect in array
121+ - Pass to claude.sh via CLAUDE_EXTRA_VOLUMES env var
122+ - claude.sh adds these volumes to Docker run command
123+ ```
124+
125+ ** Benefits** :
126+ - ✅ ** Flexible** : Mount any config/directory as needed
127+ - ✅ ** Familiar** : Uses Docker's -v syntax
128+ - ✅ ** Secure** : Users control what to expose
129+ - ✅ ** Extensible** : No hardcoded tool list to maintain
130+
131+ ** Result** : Zero maintenance. New tools work via explicit mounting.
132+
133+ ** Status** : ✅ ** IMPLEMENTED** - Added -v/--mount support to claude-yolo
