Summary
rlmX-RLM-Depthfrom the engine's explicit depthRoot cause
Recursive engines derived their depth and maximum depth from
RLM_DEPTHandRLM_MAX_DEPTHinside the IPython process. A sub-agent could rewrite those variables before callingrlm, causing the next engine to treat it as a root agent with a higher recursion limit. The same mutated depth was also used for the inference request header and child-session placement.The injected
rlmwrapper now captures the recursion context when the kernel is initialized and passes it through private arguments that override caller values. The engine threads that explicit depth into the child REPL and inference client. At the configured limit,rlmremains absent from the preloaded namespace, but an explicit import still receives the bounded wrapper and records a normaldepth_limitresult.This is defense in depth for the reported environment-variable bypass. Full isolation from arbitrary in-process Python still requires a separate trusted process or sandbox boundary.
