Outcome

Legacy credential migration now recognizes the declared NVIDIA key alias and removes only entries verified as migrated. Unknown entries, unstaged entries, and values changed during onboarding survive; the empty-file sweep no longer deletes unread values.

Reason

The provider could accept NVIDIA_API_KEY through NVIDIA_INFERENCE_API_KEY without recording the legacy key as migrated. Cleanup also treated unknown-only files as empty and deleted entire mixed files after the recognized keys migrated. The accepted retention decision resolves both behaviors in this PR.

Related issues

Fixes #10373. Fixes #10388. Overlaps #10392; this implementation uses declared key/alias relationships, never equality with an unrelated credential.

Changes

  • Share the existing alias mapping between credential lookup and migration accounting, including messaging registration.
  • Keep the existing all-staged-values-migrated gate. Cleanup compares current values with the verified staged values and preserves every other entry.
  • Atomically replace mixed files with mode 0600, then overwrite the retired inode. The temporary file contains only retained entries; the general configuration writer cannot be reused because its rollback hardlink would retain removed credentials. Filesystem integration tests cover replacement failures and changed files.
  • Keep no-stored-values cleanup and reject malformed, oversized, linked, or changed migration files. Document retained legacy entries and cleanup failures in the credential-storage guide and host-files reference.

Verification

Candidate: bc96b9f6fe06ae2f45157b321bb71a4729b1beff.

  • vitest run --project cli src/lib/onboard/credential-provider-registration.test.ts --project integration test/credentials/credentials.test.ts test/credentials/credential-migration-reconciliation.test.ts test/automation/pull-requests/growth-guardrails.test.ts — 115 passed on the refreshed final tree. Includes valid oversized JSON above the 1 MiB limit and preservation of the old inode when directory sync fails.
  • Existing onboarding finalization and host-artifact cleanup tests passed with the selective-cleanup integration.
  • Selective-retention regressions failed before the fix and passed afterward. A separate replacement-during-wipe regression reproduced deletion of a new file and passes with descriptor-bound cleanup.
  • npm run typecheck:cli, CLI build, and plugin build passed. Normal commit and push hooks passed, including publication validation and CLI, plugin, and JavaScript compiler checks. All six PR commits are GitHub Verified.
  • Source architecture, canonical credential resolution, and credential-exposure checks passed. Test-size limits are unchanged; duplicate alias fixtures were consolidated.
  • npm run docs passed with 0 errors and 2 warnings.
  • Tests use temporary homes and fake credentials on macOS. No live gateway or full E2E result is claimed. The diff contains no real secrets or credentials.

Review notes

Credential storage and onboarding are sensitive paths. The implementation was inspected against the accepted retention contract and tested with real local filesystem operations and a fake OpenShell command boundary. Final-commit CI passed, including all 12 CLI shards and Docker/rootless Podman managed activation. CodeRabbit completed and all review threads are resolved. All nine Advisor reports were collected; the two inherited findings are classified in the final review disposition. The contributor's three signed commits are preserved.

The review disposition records a reproduced, inherited limitation: a concurrent external writer can replace the file after the last snapshot check. This also loses the replacement on the recorded main baseline. Cleanup does not serialize arbitrary external writers; avoid editing the legacy file during onboarding. A broader transaction/recovery mechanism is outside this repair. The existing default-only host-file path inventory is also unchanged; the cleanup path resolver is byte-identical to the base.

CodeQL alert 3320 was classified used in tests: the durability fixture deliberately reads the retained replacement while holding the original inode. The SARIF disposition records the evidence; the CodeQL result check passed after that disposition.

…ead files

Legacy credential migration failed in both directions.

Under-deletion: a legacy file holding NVIDIA_API_KEY stages under that key,
but the build provider registers the canonical NVIDIA_INFERENCE_API_KEY.
resolveProviderCredential resolves the alias transparently, so onboarding
used the value, yet upsertProvider recorded migration by exact key name.
The staged key never entered migratedLegacyKeys, the finalization
set-containment check failed, and onboard reported the credential as not
migrated verbatim while leaving it in plaintext on disk. upsertProvider now
accounts the aliases of the canonical credential env, still requiring a
verbatim value match before marking a key migrated.

Over-deletion: removeLegacyCredentialsFileIfEmpty inspected only keys inside
KNOWN_CREDENTIAL_ENV_KEYS, so a file whose entire content was unrecognized
looked empty and was securely unlinked. A rebuild that re-entered onboarding
destroyed credentials nothing had ever read. The sweep now keeps any file
that still holds a value, recognized or not, and removes only a file with no
values at all.

Legacy credential cleanup now removes only verified migrated entries and keeps everything else, replacing mixed files atomically. Two small follow-ups remain. A rare directory-sync failure after replacement can leave migrated secret bytes in freed disk blocks. The link-refusal test does not prove that the refusal path actually ran. Both are low-impact, and the change is mergeable with owner awareness.

CI rejected the first attempt: injecting legacyCredentialAliases through
CredentialProviderRegistrationDeps grew src/lib/onboard.ts by two lines, and
the entry point must stay net-neutral. Importing the helper from the
credential store instead is also blocked, because store.ts fan-in already
sits at its architecture cap of 46.

Move LEGACY_CREDENTIAL_ENV_ALIASES into src/lib/credentials/legacy-env-aliases.ts
so the store and provider registration can both read it. onboard.ts is
untouched, store.ts fan-in is unchanged, and the deps interface keeps its
previous shape.

Also from review:

- Add an end-to-end regression for the reported symptom: a legacy file naming
  NVIDIA_API_KEY, registered through the canonical NVIDIA_INFERENCE_API_KEY,
  now leaves no plaintext behind. Red on main, green here.
- Pin the case where both the canonical key and its alias are staged with
  different values: only the key whose value the gateway received is recorded.
- Correct the documented sweep condition. It keeps any file holding a value,
  and removes only a file with nothing to migrate, so the wording no longer
  implies blank-valued files survive.
- Rename the cleanup line to "(no stored values)"; "(empty)" overstated it.

Pushed 5597b2de09. Two things: the CI failure is fixed, and an adversarial review of my own diff surfaced a scope question I want a maintainer call on rather than deciding myself.

CI failure (fixed)

All five failing checks — codebase-growth-guardrails, static-checks, cli-test-shards (10), cli-tests, checks — were one root cause: src/lib/onboard.ts grew by 2 line(s).

I had injected legacyCredentialAliases through CredentialProviderRegistrationDeps, which needs two lines in the entry point. The obvious alternative — importing the helper from src/lib/credentials/store.ts — is also blocked, because that file's fan-in already sits exactly at its architecture cap of 46, so a new importer fails npm run checks:repository.

Resolved by moving LEGACY_CREDENTIAL_ENV_ALIASES into src/lib/credentials/legacy-env-aliases.ts, which the store and provider registration both import. onboard.ts is now byte-identical to main, store.ts fan-in is unchanged, and the deps interface keeps its previous shape.

CodeRabbit finding (fixed)

The docs said a file holding "any value" is kept, which was wrong for blank values. Corrected, and I also covered the non-string case the sweep keeps. The cleanup line is now (no stored values) — (empty) overstated the condition.

Open question I did not decide (maintainer call)

Review found this, and I confirmed it: removeLegacyCredentialsFile unlinks the whole file once every staged key migrated. Unrecognized keys are never staged (store.ts allowlist), so they are collateral.

echo '{"NVIDIA_API_KEY":"<real key>","MY_CUSTOM_TOKEN":"never-read"}' > ~/.nemoclaw/credentials.json
nemoclaw onboard        # NVIDIA_API_KEY migrates; MY_CUSTOM_TOKEN is destroyed with the file

This is pre-existing for every recognized key on main (OPENAI_API_KEY behaves identically today), and this PR makes the NVIDIA_API_KEY alias shape consistent with it rather than introducing a new class of bug. But it is the same harm Part B of #10373 reports, so I do not think the issue should close on this PR alone — which is why it is Refs, not Closes.

I prototyped the fix (refuse the unlink when the file still holds unmigrated values) and backed it out, because it breaks a deliberate contract: the #7617 reconciliation test plants OPENSHELL_GATEWAY and NODE_OPTIONS tamper keys and requires the file removed after successful migration. Refusing there would let anyone who can write ~/.nemoclaw/ pin a plaintext credential on disk permanently.

So the real choice is a product decision, not a bug fix:

  1. Keep today's behavior — migrating any recognized key authorizes deleting the file. Simple; destroys unread entries.
  2. Refuse the unlink when unmigrated values remain. Preserves data; lets a planted key keep plaintext credentials on disk indefinitely.
  3. Rewrite the file without the migrated keys, keeping the rest. Correct on both counts, but it means writing to a path store.ts currently documents as write-forbidden, plus atomicity and file-mode handling.

Happy to implement whichever you prefer as a follow-up. I'd lean 3, gated on an accepted issue.

Verification

npm run typecheck:cli, npm run checks:repository, and the pre-commit hooks (including Codebase growth guardrails) pass. Behavior lanes: 370 passed in test/credentials/ + host-artifact-cleanup + growth-guardrails; 196 passed across the onboard registration, finalization, crash-recovery and providers suites.

The new end-to-end regression in credential-migration-reconciliation.test.ts is a true red→green: I reverted credential-provider-registration.ts to main and confirmed it fails, then restored the fix and confirmed it passes.

sandl99 pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 27, 2026
… 0.0.106 (#10273)

## Summary

A sandbox reads its provider environment once, at boot, and the agent
process inherits that read for the life of the container. Any channel
credential that only becomes injectable after boot therefore never
reaches the running agent, and no restart recovers it — only recreating
the sandbox does. This change makes every messaging credential
injectable before the agent starts, and stops the agent config from
shadowing the injected value once it arrives.

## Related Issue

Part of #10079. It does not close that issue: WeChat and Teams on Hermes
are untouched here and are described below.

## Changes

- **Bind the credential in the policy preset and apply that preset at
boot.** The provider profiles are endpointless, so the binding is the
only thing that makes the token injectable, and `requiredAtCreate` is
what puts the preset in the boot policy rather than a post-boot apply.
Without both, OpenShell withholds the credential entirely (`withholding
static provider credential handle from endpointless profile`). Bindings
this PR adds:
  - Telegram — both agents.
  - Teams — OpenClaw.
  - Slack — OpenClaw; the Hermes side landed on `main` as #10271.

  Discord already carried the binding on both agents before this branch.
- **Pass the sandbox name through both policy preflights.** Channel
presets bind `{sandboxName}-<channel>-bridge`, so composing one without
a sandbox name throws. Two paths dropped the name after resolving it:
- `preflightPolicyRequirements` resolves it for the sandbox inspection.
- `prepareSandboxCreatePolicy` has it on the create intent, and is the
path the external-authority onboarding flow takes.

#10314 fixed the sibling site inside `materializeSandboxCreatePlan`;
these two were still uncovered. Four tests composed presets directly and
mirrored the old shape, which let the composition error escape the test
body and kill a whole vitest shard.
- **Stop persisting the canonical placeholder in agent config.**
OpenShell 0.0.106 refuses the canonical form once a credential is
identity-bound, so the shape that used to work is now the one shape the
credential endpoint rejects. Removed:
- OpenClaw config — `botToken` for Telegram, `botToken` and `appToken`
for Slack, `appPassword` for Teams.
- Hermes `~/.hermes/.env` — the Telegram, Slack, and Discord token
lines.
- The Slack manifest's legacy `slackRuntimeEnvAliases` normalization,
which existed only to rewrite those placeholders.

Each agent now reads the key from its process environment, which
OpenShell fills with the revision-scoped placeholder at boot.
- **Prune stale credential keys from the Hermes env file.** Hermes loads
`~/.hermes/.env` with `override=True`, so a leftover canonical
placeholder from an earlier onboarding shadows the injected process
value and the channel stays unauthenticated. Four gaps kept that line
alive:
- Cleanup lived only in `applyAgentConfigAtOpenShell`, whose sole
production caller returns early for any non-OpenClaw plan. The Hermes
runtime applier merged env lines and never removed any.
- `readEnvLineKey` read `export KEY` as the key, so an export-prefixed
assignment matched nothing.
- Deletion keys came from the persisted plan, so a binding naming an
unrelated key could remove an operator-owned line.
- A plan encoded before the credential moved to a policy binding still
carries the token in `agentRender`, and rebuild refreshes only host
forwards and runtime setup, so the render reintroduced the line the
cleanup had just removed.

The rules now live in one module both appliers use: read the key from
either assignment form, take deletion authority from the channel
manifest rather than persisted state, treat a rendered key as wanted
only while the manifests still assign a credential to it, and visit an
owned target even when the plan renders nothing into it. WeChat and
Teams render their Hermes credential under a different key than the
provider env key, so the assignment metadata, not the provider key,
decides what survives. Each rule was checked by removing it and
confirming the new tests fail.
- **Wait for the first gateway mint before creating the sandbox.**
`provider refresh configure` returns while the credential is still the
create-time sentinel and the refresh worker mints on its own sweep, so
the sandbox was booting inside that window and pinning a revision whose
value is the sentinel. The poll itself accepted any status table it
could parse and counted attempts only, so two failure modes also passed
through:
- A nonzero `provider refresh status` can still print a stale
`refreshed` row, which was read as success.
- Attempts do not bound the wait; one probe with no timeout can hang and
the loop never reaches its cap.

It now requires exit status 0 before trusting a row, gives each probe a
command timeout, and stops at an overall deadline. Current requirement
and consumer: Google Chat, the only channel with a gateway-minted
credential. Failing closed stays correct: creating the sandbox before
the first mint pins the create-time sentinel for the life of the
container. The `configureMessagingBridgeRefreshes` tests cover the
success and the never-minted path, and the optional `sleep` dependency
is a test injection point, not a configuration surface.
- **Make the Google Chat outbound preload forward the injected
placeholder verbatim.** Rewriting it to the canonical form produced
`credential_unavailable` on every send.
- **Keep preserved Hermes env lines anchored to an enabled channel.**
They were dropped whenever no enabled channel happened to render a
`~/.hermes/.env` entry — which is now the common case, since the token
lines are gone.
- **Add two drift guards over the real policy files.** A preset that
declares `credential_binding` must be `requiredAtCreate`, and a host and
port declared twice must carry distinct path selectors. Each guard was
checked by reintroducing the defect and confirming it fails.
- **Align the Discord render assertion added by #10277.** That PR fixed
the OpenClaw half; the Hermes Discord policy already bound every
endpoint to `{sandboxName}-discord-bridge`, so rendering the canonical
placeholder into `~/.hermes/.env` wrote the one shape the credential
endpoint refuses.
- **Refresh the reviewed managed-startup bundle.**
`managed-startup-image-runtime.bundle` embeds the channel manifests, so
the manifest changes above made `bundle:reviewed:check` fail in
`static-checks`. Regenerated from the merged tree; the delta is 8
blocks, all of them the credential renders removed above plus the two
`requiredAtCreate` flags.

Three overlapping fixes landed on `main` while this PR was open and are
merged in here: #10271 (the Hermes Slack `path` selector), #10277 (the
OpenClaw half of Discord), and #10314 (binding the Discord create-path
providers). This branch keeps only an explanatory comment on
`slack/policy/hermes.yaml`; the behavior there is main's. #10314 fixed
the `materializeSandboxCreatePlan` call site; the two preflight call
sites it left uncovered are fixed here.

## Channel coverage after this change

| Channel | OpenClaw | Hermes | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slack | fixed | fixed | live, bot replied — Hermes policy selector
landed separately as #10271 |
| Discord | fixed | fixed | live, bot replied — OpenClaw half landed
separately as #10277 |
| Google Chat | fixed | fixed | live, bot replied |
| Telegram | fixed | fixed | live, bot replied on both |
| Teams | fixed | not covered | withholding log observed, no live run |
| WeChat | not covered | not covered | not measured |
| WhatsApp | unaffected | unaffected | injects no provider credential
(QR pairing) |

Every `fixed` row except Teams was confirmed by an actual bot reply on a
freshly wiped host, not by test output alone. For Telegram, both agents
were run against OpenShell 0.0.106: each sandbox booted with the
revision-scoped placeholder in its agent process, the policy matched the
redacted `/bot[CREDENTIAL]/` path, and the bot answered — with no denial
and no credential error across five hours of OpenClaw polling and twenty
minutes of Hermes polling.

Out of scope here:

- **WeChat** — injects a provider credential with no endpoints on the
profile and no `credential_binding`. Telegram's shape, so the same
withholding is expected, but it was not measured, so it is not claimed.
- **Teams on Hermes** — Hermes reads `TEAMS_CLIENT_SECRET`, the provider
injects `MSTEAMS_APP_PASSWORD`. A name mismatch, not the ordering
defect.

## Known gaps, deliberately out of scope

- **Ready-sandbox reuse does not migrate messaging config.** Both reuse
branches in `sandbox-create/orchestration.ts` revalidate policy, seed
presets, upsert providers, restore the dashboard, and return. A sandbox
that booted without the injected provider environment cannot be repaired
by pruning `~/.hermes/.env` — it needs a recreate decision in the
existing drift guard beside `credentialRotation.changed`, which is a new
drift signal rather than a cleanup change. Nearest coverage: the create
and rebuild paths this PR fixes.
- **`remove-channel` on a legacy plan leaves that channel's placeholder
line behind.** `removePlanChannel()` drops the credential binding and
the render together, so cleanup has no ownership evidence for the key.
The residue is a placeholder rather than a credential, is inert once the
provider is removed, and is pruned if the channel is added again.

check name, approval link, and follow-up issue: four checks are red on
this branch and none of them is reachable from it. `CLI` fails its
coverage gate on `src/lib/policy/commands.ts` at 88.88% against the 100%
threshold that #9511 declares for `src/lib/policy/{commands,merge}.ts`,
and `Required Checks` fails only because `CLI` does. `PR / Agent
runtimes / Test activation` and both `PR / OpenClaw / MCP Discovery`
runs fail on the same assertion, `Sandbox policy authority validation
failed after creation`, in `managed-image-activation-e2e.test.ts` and
`mcp-bridge.test.ts`. All four were red on #10332's own PR run before it
merged, with a byte-identical coverage error, and #10332 both rewrote
`src/lib/policy/commands.ts` and added its `commands.test.ts`. Bucketing
open PRs by base confirms the boundary: `ac3ebe9aa` (#10384, the direct
parent of #10332) passes those checks, while `1293457d3` (#10332 itself,
#10392), `1effafb3f` (#10391), and `6062006e6` (this PR, #10397) all
fail. This branch changes nothing under `src/lib/policy/`, and the
failing image runs configure no messaging channel, so no preset from
this PR is composed on that path.

Merge-train status: deferred for a maintainer decision.

The current flow stages recognized NVIDIA credential aliases, ignores unrecognized keys, and then deletes the credential file after the recognized values migrate. A file that contains a migrated NVIDIA alias and an unread custom value can therefore lose the custom value.

Please choose and record one contract:

  • Delete the whole file after recognized values migrate.
  • Retain the whole file when any unrecognized value remains.
  • Rewrite the file to preserve unrecognized values, with atomic-write and failure-recovery requirements.

The local integration repair and its documentation pass focused tests, CLI type-checking, repository checks, the documentation build, and the nine-category security review. I will not publish that repair or merge this PR until the retention contract is decided. Required code lanes are also waiting for runner vetting, so no rerun was requested.

Please review commit c129525b590cabdfdcc2eceefd8342339cb3c170, including the accepted selective-retention contract in #10373. The update preserves the original signed commits and adds the current-main repair, filesystem failure coverage, and declared-alias accounting for both registration paths.

@ericksoa Thanks for the guidance. The maintainer decision in #10373 is selective retention: after verified migration, cleanup removes only staged entries whose current values still match the verified values. It preserves unknown, unstaged, and changed entries. Mixed-file replacement must be atomic and must retain restrictive permissions. If cleanup fails after replacement, it must report incomplete cleanup without deleting the retained entries.

I’ll request a full review of commit c129525b590cabdfdcc2eceefd8342339cb3c170 against that contract. The review should also check the current-main repair, filesystem failure coverage, and declared-alias accounting in both registration paths.

Timestamp: 2026-09-23T20:56:09.818Z
Learning: In NVIDIA/NemoClaw issue `#10373`, the maintainer accepted selective retention for legacy `~/.nemoclaw/credentials.json` cleanup in PR `#10384`. After verified migration, cleanup removes only staged credential entries whose current values still match verified migrated values; it preserves unknown, unstaged, and changed entries, and deletes the file only when no entries remain. Mixed files must be replaced atomically with restrictive permissions in the existing credential cleanup owner, without using the general configuration writer or restoring general credential writes. Failures must not fall back to deleting the file. Credential identity follows the declared key/alias relationship, not equality with an unrelated secret.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

Review disposition for c129525b590cabdfdcc2eceefd8342339cb3c170 (base 11541cde94ceb5fb96670628ed6ae18e3be76257):

  • Main PR CI passed, including all 12 CLI shards. All nine Advisor specialists completed and their reports were collected from run 35920669416. The Advisor blocker job reports findings; it is not an execution failure.
  • Accepted: the oversized cleanup fixture must be valid JSON above the actual 1 MiB cap. CodeRabbit and the verification specialist report the same gap. The repair changes the existing fixture, with a matching migrated entry so removal of the size guard would fail the assertions.
  • Accepted: update the host-files reference to describe selective retention instead of whole-file deletion. The credential-storage guide also states the existing concurrent-writer limitation.
  • Withdrawn: CodeRabbit's proposal to wipe the old inode before directory fsync. The reviewer accepted the durability explanation and resolved the thread. The existing failure test is extended to verify that the old inode stays unwiped if replacement durability cannot be confirmed.
  • Inherited, outside this narrow repair: the security specialist's last-instruction replacement race is real, but it also reproduces on the recorded base. Using temporary homes and fake values, I injected a new credentials.json immediately before the final path mutation. The candidate overwrote it with the old retained-entry copy; main's secureUnlink deleted the new file altogether. Both observations come from executing their actual credential-store modules. The PR adds snapshot checks but does not claim to serialize arbitrary concurrent external writers. A directory descriptor plus another identity check does not make replacement conditional on inode identity; a no-replace handoff would introduce crash/recovery states. That broader transaction design is not added to this AMANALAP change. Avoid concurrent edits while onboarding performs cleanup.

The remaining six specialist reports found no repository change needed. No additional live E2E was recommended. The follow-up commit is limited to tests and documentation; production code is unchanged.

Final candidate: bc96b9f6fe06ae2f45157b321bb71a4729b1beff. The review repair corrects the oversized fixture, asserts the accepted directory-durability order, and updates the host-files reference. Current main's required validation dependencies are included. All 115 focused tests and the docs build passed, and all six commits are GitHub Verified.

The complete prior review disposition includes the candidate/base reproduction of the inherited concurrent-writer limitation. Production selective-cleanup behavior is unchanged by the review repair.

@ericksoa I’ll request a full review of bc96b9f6fe06ae2f45157b321bb71a4729b1beff against the accepted selective-retention contract in #10373. The review should check the oversized fixture, directory-durability assertion, host-files reference, and current-main validation dependencies. It should use the prior candidate/base reproduction when assessing the inherited concurrent-writer limitation and distinguish that limitation from changes introduced by this PR.

Learning: In `src/lib/credentials/store.ts`, `replaceLegacyCredentialEntries()` must make the retained replacement's directory entry durable with a successful directory fsync before `removeLegacyCredentialsFile()` wipes the original inode. If directory fsync fails after rename, cleanup reports an incomplete operation and leaves the original inode unwiped, because wiping it could destroy retained entries if a crash loses the replacement directory entry.

CodeQL alert 3320 is classified as used in tests for bc96b9f6fe06ae2f45157b321bb71a4729b1beff.

The retained SARIF for analysis 1828696953 links the test's fs.openSync(file, "r") at line 611 to fs.readFileSync(file, "utf8") at line 621. These deliberately refer to different inodes: the test keeps the original descriptor open, invokes the cleanup that atomically replaces the path, injects directory-fsync failure, and then verifies both the retained replacement and the unwiped original descriptor. Reading the old descriptor for both assertions would fail to test the replacement.

The fixture contains fake values under a freshly generated private temporary home, with file mode 0600. The final focused run passed all 115 tests. This disposition applies only to the test alert; scanner configuration is unchanged, and the separately documented inherited production concurrency limitation is not dismissed by it.

Final review disposition for bc96b9f6fe06ae2f45157b321bb71a4729b1beff, compared with base 40d9551caf6f9aebf2c52ca333599df3895e88c5:

  • All ordinary PR checks completed successfully or were intentionally skipped by their workflow conditions. The main CI run 35923652652 passed all 12 CLI shards. The managed-image run 35923652528 passed Docker and rootless Podman activation. Local focused validation passed 115 tests; the documentation build passed with 0 errors and 2 warnings. All six PR commits are GitHub Verified.
  • CodeRabbit completed its final review. The suggested link-test hardening was withdrawn after the actual two-case run demonstrated both rejection guards and run-level temporary-file cleanup. All five review threads are resolved.
  • All nine Advisor specialists completed successfully in 35925255990, and all nine reports were read. Seven requested no repository change. The aggregate blocker job is red because of the following two findings, which are classified as inherited under the PR follow-up policy:
    • The last-instruction concurrent-writer race repeats the previously reproduced and recorded limitation. The cleanup code on the recorded base also loses a replacement introduced at its last path mutation. This PR documents that arbitrary simultaneous edits are not serialized. No broader transaction/locking design is added.
    • The host-files table's literal default credential path is unchanged from base 40d9551. getCredsDir() and getCredsFile() are also byte-identical to that base. Expanding the existing path inventory for non-default gateways is an inherited documentation concern; this repair corrects the changed retention behavior and preserves the direction to use onboarding rather than manual deletion.
  • CodeQL alert 3320 was classified used in tests with the exact SARIF and fixture reasoning. Its result check is now successful. Scanner configuration was not changed.

No candidate-owned correctness finding remains. The accepted selective-retention contract is implemented in the existing owners, and the original contributor's work is preserved. This record does not claim independent human approval or a full unfiltered live E2E run.

115 focused tests passed. Exact-head CI passed all 12 CLI shards, and Docker/rootless Podman managed activation passed. All six commits are GitHub Verified, all review threads are resolved, and all nine Advisor reports have a recorded disposition. The inherited concurrent-writer limitation remains documented. CodeQL's intentional durability-test alert has its own recorded disposition.

The repository gate helper reports a false negative after the ready/body metadata events: its hard-coded 11-job metadata list still contains the retired wechat-runtime-audit job and omits current jobs, including compile-artifacts and real-openclaw-dist-harness. It therefore misclassifies successful metadata run 35926427414 and its skipped changes job. The substantive CI run 35923652652 passed on this exact head/base. All effective required contexts are successful or intentionally skipped, which GitHub permits for required status checks. No branch protection or scanner configuration was changed.

This maintainer account also contributed the repair commits; this approval is not an independent human review.

## Outcome

In-place upgrades can retire the trusted NemoClaw OpenShell gateway when
HOME or XDG paths contain redundant slashes. Equivalent path spellings
no longer make the installer refuse its own service. Foreign units and
untrusted executables remain rejected. Prepared legacy recovery also
waits for the existing normal write pairing before it closes the
recovery transaction.

## Reason

The installer compared canonical systemd metadata with
environment-derived paths as literal strings. Redundant slashes caused
false mismatches and could leave an upgrade incomplete after backup.

### Related issues

Fixes #10541. Refs #11898.

The oldest supported migration can recreate an OpenClaw device with
pairing-only access. Its first ordinary write request then fails even
though the gateway process has recovered.

## Changes

- Normalize managed config, state, and executable paths. Collapse XDG
bin-home separators before removing trailing slashes.
- Require systemd's fragment path and the expected trusted unit to
identify the same existing file. Preserve ownership, symlink,
foreign-unit and foreign-binary checks.
- Exercise the v0.0.123 upgrade under a real systemd user manager with
redundant HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME spellings. The existing gateway
recovery check now requires successful metadata queries, the expected
active unit with a positive PID, and a changed activation ID.
- For prepared OpenClaw backup recovery, reuse the existing
profile-specific pairing settlement after all other restore checks pass.
Pending pairing fails recovery and retains the backup handoff for retry.
Strict Portable settlement is selected only when its current receipt
matches the recreated sandbox generation. Ordinary rebuilds and
admin-approval policy are unchanged.
- Keep workspace, stopped-sandbox, dashboard-forward,
authenticated-inference and credential-custody checks. Use the native
agent RPC for the current runtime's ordinary message: OpenClaw assigns
it write scope, while its local convenience command requests admin
scope. No permission grant or approval-policy change is included.
- Correct onboarding E2E to remove verified migrated credentials while
retaining unrelated entries, as required by #10384. Redact credential
values before assertion formatting.

## Verification

- Installer regression coverage passed: **93 cases**, including XDG
bin-home suffixes with zero through three trailing slashes. One
unchanged deferred-Hermes case timed out in a combined run, then passed
after the CLI build without changing its timeout or assertions.
- The latest gateway-upgrade support and agent-response parser checks
passed: **97 cases**. Negative cases reject failed or missing service
queries, wrong units, inactive or malformed state, and unchanged service
generations. Native agent RPC responses must also report successful
application status; error, timeout, missing and mixed responses are
rejected.
- The prepared-recovery runtime repair at `055ed275` passed **973 tests
across 64 files; 15 skipped**. A full pipeline failure case confirms
that pending write pairing retains its recovery record and never reports
completion.
- CLI typecheck and all seven growth checks passed. The E2E budget has
**1391 direct assertions across 79 files**, with no increase in total
assertion points or generated probes. Only a duplicated name-length
expectation was removed; the runtime validator and its 19/20-character
tests retain that boundary.
- The exact Dockerfile-pinned OpenClaw 2026.9.1 archive was verified.
Executing its unchanged dispatch and scope-selection logic confirms
admin scope for the local convenience command, write scope for an
ordinary agent RPC, and admin scope for a reset request.
- The new service predicate accepts the retained real systemd transition
and rejects replaying the old activation as a replacement.
- The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

## Review notes

[Branch run
36239776184](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/36239776184)
passed all six selected checks on
`8e2d61a076ba6ae959cade16d04b72fda36918be`: Docker/Podman onboarding,
AMD64/ARM64 managed-image startup, and complete v0.0.89/v0.0.123
upgrades. [Core
CI](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/36239738723) passed
on the same commit.

The v0.0.123 artifact proves real systemd replacement with
duplicate-slash HOME/config paths: the same canonical active unit
changed from PID 6178/invocation `ac48a49e6c994d6a828e480d7d7cf51a` to
PID 29223/invocation `ee25dede82ba479d9671381859769edc`. The installer
ran between those observations. Both historical upgrades passed native
agent RPC, authenticated inference, credential-custody, preserved-state
and cleanup checks. The v0.0.89 write-pairing regression is resolved. No
admin-scope change was needed.

The immutable dispatch receipt and six actual jobs identify the final
candidate. The final test-only change reuses image revision `055ed275`
after canonical input matching and successful Docker/rootless-Podman
qualification. The [author's earlier Ubuntu systemd
evidence](#10629 (comment))
remains supporting historical evidence.

The [full Advisor rerun after live
evidence](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/36240846219)
completed all nine specialists with clear code-finding ledgers. Its
aggregate still reports eight unresolved E2E recommendations for the
systemd boundary, because the file-only review excludes external
execution results. The verified branch evidence above supplies that
result. This automated evidence limitation and the existing human
changes-requested review remain visible; neither has been bypassed.
