Conversation
The managed-images promote lane already builds, validates, attests, and stages ghcr.io/nvidia/nemoclaw/hermes-sandbox in the same six-candidate cohort barrier as openclaw-sandbox, and the durable cohort contract already records all three agents. Only the consumer pointers were OpenClaw-only, so Hermes never received a :<revision> or :<release> tag and downstream Hermes images had to rebuild agents/hermes/Dockerfile from a version-matched checkout (NVIDIA#11228). Generalize both pointer sites to a shipped_agents list of openclaw and hermes: the staging step records each shipped agent's consumer aliases in its exact per-platform contract, and the pointer step validates every shipped agent's contract and exact cohort bytes before moving any pointer, then creates and byte-verifies each agent's aliases. Deep Agents Code intentionally stays cohort-only. The publication tests execute the actual workflow bash and now prove the Hermes pointer moves only after all cohort aliases stage, that a barrier failure moves no pointer for either agent, and that Deep Agents Code receives no consumer pointer. The Hermes plugin guide documents starting custom images FROM the published complete image instead of reproducing the managed Dockerfile. Signed-off-by: Zac Wang <zacw@nvidia.com>

3272-3277: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueNarrow the atomicity claim in this comment.
The comment states that a failure on either agent leaves all pointers unmoved. That holds for validation failures, because the first loop validates both agents before the second loop creates any alias. It does not hold for a registry failure inside the second loop. If OpenClaw alias creation succeeds and the Hermes
imagetools createthen fails, the OpenClaw pointers are already moved.Restrict the claim to validation so a future maintainer does not assume cross-agent atomicity of the registry writes.

Approved at commit 6629fd2c71a7bf08e4f240c601924a6e02ffc221. The managed-image publication design is in scope and preserves the existing cohort, provenance, exact-byte, and supported-platform controls. The cross-repository registry-write limitation is now stated accurately and reconciles through an idempotent same-cohort rerun. CodeRabbit is clear on this commit. The fork-only OpenShell SDK failure and downstream skips are accepted as infrastructure limitations; the same behavioral diff passed the trusted same-repository managed-image builds, all-agent activation, MCP discovery, security, docs, and focused 39-test suite. No unresolved review thread remains, and both commits are Verified.

<!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 --> ## Outcome Managed-provider recovery and snapshot cloning now use the typed OpenShell provider adapter for provider reads, profile imports, and provider creation. Existing recovery, reconciliation, and fail-closed behavior stays intact; destructive provider cleanup remains in Slice 8. ## Reason Issue #9806 is moving managed-provider consumers behind one typed protocol boundary. Recovery and clone paths still owned raw OpenShell provider commands and duplicated diagnostic parsing, which left those flows outside the adapter contract completed in the earlier slices. ### Related issues Part of #9806 ## Changes - Add a managed-provider adapter factory so rebuild and snapshot consumers share the selected-gateway target and typed CLI adapter. - Route rebuild provider registration and recovered credential metadata checks through typed provider reads, preserving selected runtime authority at the delete edge. - Route snapshot clone inspection, profile import, and provider creation through the adapter while retaining exact reconciliation and ownership checks. - Keep rollback inspection and deletion on the existing raw path for Slice 8. - Preserve bounded, suppressed provider-create diagnostics in the CLI adapter and protect the behavior in its unit test. ## Verification - Focused CLI recovery, snapshot, gateway teardown, and provider-export contracts - 208 tests passed on the final source revision. - Focused integration recovery, reconciliation, and provider-export contracts - 3 tests passed and 2 platform-inapplicable tests skipped on the final source revision. - Current-main dashboard, WeChat install, and managed-image bundle contracts - 69 tests passed on the final source revision. - `npx vitest run --project package-contract test/package-contract/cli/credentials-cli-command.test.ts` - 26 tests passed on the final source revision. - `npx vitest run --project integration test/agents/hermes/hermes-image-build-probes.test.ts` - 57 tests passed on `73eacfee5c`. - `npm run build:cli` - passed. - `npm --prefix nemoclaw run build` - passed. - `npm run typecheck:cli -- --pretty false` - passed. - `npm run validate:pr` - passed on `73eacfee5c` against canonical main `f893b8359e`. - `npm run review:local` - unavailable because the temporary OpenShell review gateway refused connections; no local Advisor result is claimed. - The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials. ## Review notes Slice 6 merged in #11234. This revision integrates canonical `main` through `f893b8359e` and leaves only the 20-file Slice 7 recovery, snapshot, and adapter-ownership documentation diff. Mainline PRs #11314, #11327, #11298, #11332, and #11338 resolved the inherited cache-seed, gateway teardown mock, Hermes image-pointer and probe-digest, dashboard, WeChat, and image-bundle contract failures observed on earlier revisions. The complete CodeRabbit review for `be4b1de3e1` reported three related cutover findings. This revision addresses all three by injecting the adapter in the preparation proof, documenting the bounded raw cleanup bridge and Slice 8 exit criteria, and sharing the adapter credential-name predicate with clone preflight. The resulting CI fixture fallout was repaired across the complete affected root-cause group. The incremental CodeRabbit review for `49ce5d9032` reported two comments. The adapter already provides the sole credential-name validator, so that comment required no change. The missing-provider process fixture now asserts its status and exact stderr contract. The incremental CodeRabbit review for `cb788fe0f0` reported an orphaned Hermes handoff on a pre-delete bailout. Canonical main commit `7c54bc084a` introduced every reported line in #10780. Slice 7 changes only the later provider inspection await, so this finding is inherited and requires no Slice 7 change. The complete PR Review Advisor run 34367204068 reviewed commit `cc647e8`. Seven specialists found no required change. The architecture specialist requested typed destructive cleanup, which is the accepted Slice 8 boundary and is not part of Slice 7. The reduction specialist suggested removing the managed-provider facade. The facade remains because three current recovery consumers use it to bind the selected-gateway policy and Slice 8 is its next current consumer. The complete exact-head PR Review Advisor run 34405962090 reviewed `2cfcae6b38`. Its documentation specialist found the OpenShell adapter README still described the former ownership model; `73eacfee5c` applies the requested paragraph-only correction. The architecture, migration, and reduction specialists each requested the same typed destructive-cleanup cutover. That work is the accepted #9806 Slice 8 boundary and is implemented in stacked PR #11328, so it does not require a Slice 7 production-code change. The other five specialists found no required change. --- Signed-off-by: Rebecca Sliter <571084+rsliter@users.noreply.github.com> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Improvements** - Improved reliability of sandbox rebuilds by completing provider and credential checks before proceeding. - Enhanced managed clone setup with more consistent provider creation, profile import, rollback, and cleanup handling. - Added clearer handling for missing, incompatible, or invalid gateway provider configurations. - Standardized credential-name validation, including supported length limits. - Improved recovery behavior and provider metadata reporting during rebuild and snapshot workflows. - **Documentation** - Updated adapter documentation to clarify provider inspection and managed recovery coverage. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Signed-off-by: Rebecca Sliter <571084+rsliter@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Rebecca Sliter <571084+rsliter@users.noreply.github.com>

Related Issue
#11228 — filed with the product-scope fields (ownership, validation plan, compatibility, security) this PR implements. The downstream consumer is the VSS blueprint (NVIDIA-AI-Blueprints/video-search-and-summarization#2024), whose Hermes sandbox currently must be provisioned at run time because there is no complete image to extend.

The six-candidate aggregate barrier (#7744) already builds, validates, attests, stages, and anonymously pull-proves the Hermes cohort on both architectures; the durable cohort contract already records all three agents. Only the consumer pointers were OpenClaw-only — two sites in
