 ### Windows
 
-Windows provides AppContainer for application-level sandboxing. Landstrip
-creates a per-run LPAC AppContainer profile, grants its SID access to the lowered
-read and write roots, and removes those grants after the sandboxed process tree
-exits. Windows policies must use explicit read allowlists.
+Landstrip has two Windows backends. AppContainer is the default and needs no
+installation. The restricted-user backend is an explicit, preinstalled alternative
+for programs such as Git Bash/MSYS that cannot initialize inside AppContainer.
+Select the backend with the trusted command-line option `--windows-backend`; a
+project policy cannot select it.
 
-Landstrip assigns the sandboxed process to a Job Object with
-`KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE`, so child processes are kept in the sandbox process tree and
-are terminated when the launcher exits.
+Both backends use explicit read allowlists. Ancestors receive traversal-only,
+non-inheriting access; unrelated siblings are not exposed.
 
-`allowNetwork` grants the internet and private-network AppContainer
-capabilities, while the default container holds none and denies all network
-access.
+#### AppContainer
 
-AppContainer capabilities are coarse. Fine-grained TCP policies by host or port
-require elevated Windows Filtering Platform rules keyed by the AppContainer SID,
-which is unsuitable for an unprivileged agent sandbox runtime.
+Landstrip creates a per-run profile, grants its SID access to the lowered read and
+write roots, and removes those grants after the sandboxed process tree exits.
+
+`windows.appContainerMode` selects `"lpac"` (the default) or `"standard"`. LPAC
+provides the stricter boundary. Standard AppContainer can also access resources
+already granted to `ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES`, so selecting it is an explicit
+security downgrade. Landstrip never retries an LPAC launch in standard mode.
+
+Landstrip assigns the sandboxed process to a Job Object with `KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE`, so
+child processes are kept in the sandbox process tree and terminated when the
+launcher exits. When a restrictive host Job Object prevents safe breakaway,
+Landstrip fails with `HOST_JOB_INCOMPATIBLE`; it never launches without its own job.
+
+`allowNetwork` grants the internet and private-network AppContainer capabilities,
+while the default container holds none. `windows.allowLoopback` is a separate,
+explicit opt-in that temporarily exempts only the per-run AppContainer SID. The
+exemption permits every local loopback service, not a single proxy port. Existing
+system exemptions are preserved and the per-run exemption is removed at exit.
+
+AppContainer capabilities are coarse. Fine-grained direct TCP policies by host or
+port require elevated Windows Filtering Platform rules keyed by the AppContainer
+SID, which is unsuitable for an unprivileged agent sandbox runtime.
+
+#### Restricted user
+
+Install the restricted-user backend once from the intended host account. Setup
+requests elevation through UAC, provisions dedicated local accounts, installs
+account-scoped persistent WFP rules, and copies a protected broker executable:
+
+```powershell
+landstrip windows setup
+landstrip windows status
+landstrip --windows-backend restricted-user -p policy.json cargo test
+landstrip windows uninstall
+```
+
+The default pool has eight restricted-network accounts and two unrestricted-network
+accounts. Use `landstrip windows setup --help` to configure pool sizes and the
+loopback proxy port range. Setup replaces an existing installation; uninstall
+revokes recorded ACL grants, removes WFP policy and accounts, and deletes the
+installed runner.
+
+Each run exclusively leases an account, journals its filesystem grants before
+applying them, launches the command through a restricted token and Job Object, then
+revokes the grants. A later lease or uninstall recovers stale journaled grants after
+a crash. Account credentials are random, stored with Windows DPAPI, and never placed
+in policy files.
+
+Restricted-network accounts are blocked by WFP except for loopback connections to
+the proxy port range chosen during setup. Proxy ports in a policy must fall in that
+range. `network.allowLocalBinding` and `windows.allowLoopback` are unsupported by
+this backend. `network.allowNetwork: true` instead leases an unrestricted-network
+account and therefore requires at least one such account in the installed pool.
+
+The restricted token enforces the per-run account-SID grants while retaining the
+standard `ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES` read/execute baseline for Windows and Program
+Files. As with standard AppContainer, resources exposed to that SID remain visible.
