Outcome

Allow the trusted managed-image harness to exercise the OpenShell 0.1.3 candidate in #12603. Preserve the default OpenShell 0.0.116 behavior until the upgrade is separately qualified.

Reason

Protected E2E uses host code from the trusted workflow revision. Changes in the upgrade candidate alone cannot migrate this host code. Brev reproductions found failures in gateway configuration, state-volume admission, managed startup, policy parsing, and native inference.

Related issues

Refs #12603.

Changes

  • Select the gateway schema and validate authentication for the pinned runtime.
  • Use native provider inventory, policy, token lifetime, and local inference contracts.
  • Add workspace approval labels to new state volumes. Reuse retained volumes only when ownership and approval match; never copy or relabel retained data.
  • Complete managed startup through the runtime state owner, including workspace metadata and rollback checks.
  • Select the workload container by its native isolation role and ownership.
  • Translate the required Landlock mode for the projected 0.1.3 runtime.
  • Wait for the existing OpenClaw pairing watcher with bounded retries.
  • Enable Qwen2.5 tool calling and its native 32,768-token context window in the protected vLLM fixture.
  • Enable NIM automatic tool calling with qwen3_coder and separate reasoning with nemotron_v3.
  • Retain mandatory agent response assertions and report rejected output with bounded credential redaction.
  • Refresh both Pi qualification receipts from one successful image workflow and pin the exact receipt hashes.

Verification

Commit under review: cc495ba74003d0e89621ab3e1477225a27621cc6. Base: e0e0afaf3a419ea52d776d8678481c588aad2987. CI and automated reviews for this repair are pending. The PR remains ready for review at the author's request; independent approval remains required.

This repair addresses Senthil's latest review and his timing/coverage review:

  • Automatic incomplete-create and exit cleanup preserve named volumes. Regression tests replace a volume after the final cleanup inspection and prove that no removal is issued. The E2E fixture retains explicit owner teardown so injected failures cannot silently leave volumes behind.
  • The protected job shares an absolute deadline measured before setup: 45 minutes for setup/provider qualification, 15 for rollback and inventory, 5 for fixture cleanup, 8 for bounded workflow finalization, and 2 for runner headroom. NIM login and image preparation run in a supervised child. All nine agent/provider response assertions and all three rollback cases remain required.
  • Recovery tests observe the installed version, the exact nonce-filtered JSON absence query with --page-size 2 on 0.1.3 and --limit 2 on 0.0.116, and subsequent cleanup. Malformed and nonempty observations preserve recovery evidence.

Local verification: 22 source tests, 138 integration tests, and 213 E2E support tests passed; two Linux-only cases were skipped on macOS. CLI typecheck passed. The exact assertion-growth approval was verified. Normal commit and pre-push hooks passed, including semantic phase discovery, growth guardrails, publication validation, secret scanning, and CLI type checking. GitHub marks the signed publication commit Verified. No new live GPU pass is claimed.

The preceding db3cdce76f commit completed its reported CI checks successfully or skipped. Exact-commit Advisor run 39896622055 failed on the remaining volume deletion race; all nine specialist reports were collected. The current retention fix supersedes the earlier creation-ID-only repair.

Historical validation at 1ec714c46125480ac0cdf90100237eda0422bcf7 included 30 focused runtime tests, 38 protected E2E support tests, CLI typecheck, publication validation, normal hooks, and the documentation build. Those results and the earlier run links do not establish validation of e9e0488 or the newly published volume repair.

The previous d85bfa607e ARM64 activation failed because Docker could not finish pulling the Hermes image (ImagePullFailed: bytes remaining on stream). OpenClaw phases and final cleanup passed; later Hermes and external-image assertions were not reached. Other d85 evaluations were cancelled when the branch advanced. These are retained failure/cancellation results, not successful qualification.

The results below apply to the previous publication commit, e826d1d1202ee77e7a1e7d47adcacbdc1ad7f952, or to the older commits explicitly named. They do not establish a pass for the current commit.

  • Normal commit and publication hooks, including CLI type-checking — passed for this receipt repair. Secret scanning passed.
  • Strict Pi qualification source-parity check — passed. The two receipt contents exactly match their SHA-256 authority entries.
  • Focused integration verification — 52 tests passed in mcp-tool-discovery-image-contract.test.ts and pi-qualification-receipt-refresh.test.ts.
  • AMD64 and ARM64 Pi receipts came from the successful complete image workflow 39839944251, attempt 1, at f36a926aa3fa30fdc5b2b2bcf9ce680f008239e1. The checked-in collector validated the authenticated artifact IDs, ZIP sizes and hashes, source commit, run attempt, release, and receipt contents; the PR and run identities were re-read before applying the patch.
  • At that source commit, Docker AMD64, Docker ARM64, and rootless Podman managed activation all passed. All 12 CLI shards and combined coverage passed. Shard 10 initially timed out in an unchanged native-bootstrap test and passed on one unchanged retry; its assertion and timeout remain intact. Static CI failed only because these receipts had not yet been committed.
  • Full CI 39847690349 passed at the publication commit, including static checks, all 12 CLI shards, combined coverage, build/typecheck, and plugin tests. Shard 10 passed without a retry. CodeQL and both rootless lifecycle checks also passed.
  • Managed-image workflow 39847688404 passed in full: Pi builds on both architectures, all managed-image builds and direct startup checks, and full all-agent activation on Docker AMD64, Docker ARM64, and rootless Podman. Docker logs confirm all 13 phases and cleanup passed.
  • Advisor reassessment 39853165961 passed for the same publication commit. All nine specialist reports are clear, and the blocker gate passed. The first review and its evidence-backed dispositions remain recorded below.
  • Review follow-up verification: 127 tests passed across the existing authoritative rebuild, projected state-volume, sandbox lifecycle, protected projection, protected workspace, and legacy container-contract suites.
  • Normal commit hooks — passed for each repair and the merge of main at 169c038.
  • Focused policy tests — 148 passed.
  • Local inference response contract tests — 104 passed.
  • Protected runtime readiness tests — 37 passed.
  • CLI type-checking — passed in the latest normal publication hooks.
  • Trusted projection verification and Brev CLI build at 584b3e2 — passed.
  • Full protected GPU target at eee891f — failed. All three Ollama agent scenarios passed on the bounded retry. vLLM rejected OpenClaw's automatic tool choice; cleanup passed.
  • Full protected GPU target at 1945d6b — failed after the tool-choice fix: the 2,048-token fixture context rejected the agent output budget of 8,192 tokens.
  • Full protected GPU target at 69fd6f1 — all three Ollama and all three vLLM agent scenarios passed. NIM rejected automatic tool choice. Cleanup passed; rollback was not reached.
  • Isolated NIM reproduction — automatic tool choice failed with HTTP 400 before the fixture fix and returned HTTP 200 afterward. The response exposed missing reasoning parsing.
  • Full protected GPU target at 584b3e2 — passed on Brev in 677.65 seconds. All nine agent/provider scenarios, all-agent rollback, and cleanup passed against the published c69bb26 candidate images. This is one local target, not the full GitHub PR E2E suite.
  • Secret scan in normal hooks — passed. Credentials remain outside the diff.

Review notes

Canonical sensitive-path classification at main 7312e7f49 identifies 33 changed paths in runtime scripts, onboarding, and inference. The Advisor security specialist reviewed the publication commit and reported no P0/P1 security finding. Independent maintainer security approval remains pending. Those historical reports do not establish approval of the commit under review. The current repair and pending independent evaluation are recorded above.

This is a trusted-harness prerequisite, not qualification of #12603 or permission to merge it. #12603 owns the runtime cutover and retirement of the compatibility branches after the final upgrade candidate passes its required qualification and independent review. The full GitHub PR E2E suite still needs to run on the final upgrade candidate.

The first eee891f run failed the OpenClaw PONG response assertion. Its response was not captured. A retry passed; the intermittent failure remains unresolved. New diagnostics preserve the assertion and redact the rejected response.

Docker private MCP TLS trust, Personal web/IP-pin coexistence, and legacy GPU compatibility remain separate qualification blockers for #12603. None is excluded as a main failure without matching evidence.

Advisor finding dispositions at e826d1d120

All nine specialist reports from 39850962883 were collected. Six reported no blocker. The blocker gate failed on the following three findings; the evidence below disputes them and does not claim a waiver or approval.

  • Migration completion — F-migration-completion-6bb79de7fc275113bb1f: outside this PR's accepted scope. This PR supplies the trusted harness prerequisite for chore(deps): upgrade OpenShell runtime and SDK to 0.1.3 #12603. Its outcome explicitly preserves OpenShell 0.0.116 until chore(deps): upgrade OpenShell runtime and SDK to 0.1.3 #12603 is separately qualified. Updating runtime/SDK pins here would perform the deferred cutover. The compatibility branches are exercised through the reviewed projection described below.
  • Delivery — F-delivery-flow-a239540244fa754e25a9: the review omitted the trusted projection. The protected workflow prepares and verifies the candidate OpenShell projection before building the trusted CLI. The projection rewrites SUPPORTED_OPENSHELL_FALLBACK_VERSION to the approved candidate release. Thus the 0.1.3 workload-identity branch is reachable during qualification while normal production remains at 0.0.116. The projection and workspace verification suites passed in the 127-test run.
  • Operability — F-operability-recovery-cb619dfd20985758099f: the cited onboarding path already applies the recorded selection before volume creation. The entry wrapper calls beginAuthoritativeRebuildRuntimeSelectionScope before runOnboard and restores the environment in finally. That scope replaces ambient OPENSHELL_WORKSPACE with runtimeSelection.workspace. Ordinary creation carries the same environment into the sandbox create request; its environment filter preserves OPENSHELL_ selectors. The existing hostile-selector test, projected volume approval tests, and sandbox lifecycle tests passed. The proposed ambient-versus-recorded mismatch is not reproduced on this path.

The fresh Advisor evaluation 39853165961 received these source references and test results and passed. All nine specialist ledgers identify e826d1d1202ee77e7a1e7d47adcacbdc1ad7f952 and contain no findings. The original failed review remains recorded; the reassessment changed review context, not code or release scope.

Walkthrough

This change adds OpenShell 0.1.3 compatibility across gateway configuration, provider and policy handling, managed startup, and workspace preparation. The protected-image harness now qualifies native local inference and agent responses across supported runtimes.

Changes: Managed runtime qualification

Layer / File(s) Summary
OpenShell schema and provider compatibility
src/lib/adapters/openshell/*, src/lib/inference/native-provider/*, src/lib/inference/native-local/profile.ts, src/lib/onboard/docker-driver-gateway-*, src/lib/onboard/initial-policy.ts, src/lib/onboard/managed-workload/*
OpenShell 0.1.3 uses version-specific gateway schemas, provider pagination and policy checks, workspace approval labels, and Landlock compatibility. Native-provider attachment verification can require unexpired credentials.
Workspace preparation and bounded runtime control
src/lib/adapters/container-engine.*, src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/*, src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/contract.ts, src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/docker.ts, src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/podman-runtime-surfaces.ts
Docker and Podman controls prepare managed workspace metadata and validate isolation roles. Private lifecycle transport supports bounded input and output. Gateway runtime contracts specify the driver configuration layout.
Delegated managed startup and readiness
src/lib/onboard/managed-startup/*, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-gpu-create-run-attempt.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-gpu-create-flow.test.ts
Managed startup detects delegated-owner support, performs bounded state capture and owner-side startup, and supports profile-aware rollback. Create readiness accounts for startup holds and deferred effects.
Protected managed-image local-inference qualification
scripts/checks/managed-image-protected-runtime-contract.ts, scripts/checks/run-managed-image-openshell-e2e.ts, test/e2e/live/*, test/e2e/support/*, test/inference/managed/*, ci/pi-agent-qualification-v1-linux-*.json, src/lib/agent/candidate-authority.ts, test/mcp/mcp-tool-discovery-image-contract.test.ts
The E2E harness attaches and verifies native local providers, probes completion, runs agent-specific PONG commands, and validates workload identity and diagnostics. Pi qualification records and related digest expectations are updated.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Forward privateTransport from the Podman engine wrapper.

The production sandboxLifecycle path reaches this wrapper. createPodmanPrivilegedSandboxControl passes privateTransport to capture for bounded input and output, but the wrapper drops the fourth argument. The command engine then uses its default bounds instead of the requested bounds. Large allowed inputs can be rejected, and the requested output limit can be lost.

Proposed fix
     capture: (
       args: Parameters<PodmanBoundContainerEngine["capture"]>[0],
       timeout?: number,
       input?: Buffer,
+      privateTransport?: Parameters<PodmanBoundContainerEngine["capture"]>[3],
-    ) => resolve().capture(args, timeout, input),
+    ) => resolve().capture(args, timeout, input, privateTransport),

Centralize the OpenShell 0.1.3 runtime check.

This PR repeats String(SUPPORTED_OPENSHELL_FALLBACK_VERSION) === "0.1.3" in at least these places:

  • provider-adapter-cli.ts
  • provider-policy.ts (3 sites)
  • sandbox-identity.ts
  • docker-driver-gateway-config.ts
  • docker-driver-gateway-env.ts
  • initial-policy.ts
  • managed-state-volumes.ts
  • native-local/profile.ts

Each copy needs the String(...) cast and the "0.1.3" literal. When the projected version changes, a missed copy silently selects the wrong schema, flags, or policy mode.

Add one helper next to SUPPORTED_OPENSHELL_FALLBACK_VERSION in src/lib/onboard/openshell-version.ts, for example usesOpenShellProjectedRuntime(). Replace every inline comparison with it. The projected tests can then mock one symbol.

Also confirm the PR description links the GitHub issue or PR that retires the 0.0.116 branches, with exit criteria. The path instructions require this for any retained old path.

As per path instructions, for src/**: "Retain an old path only for a demonstrated external/persisted-data contract or a bounded confidence/rollback window... link the retirement issue or PR in GitHub, and state observable exit criteria."

Remove the duplicated workspace default and env lookup.

This line hard-codes "default" and reads OPENSHELL_WORKSPACE itself. managedStateVolumeApproval in managed-state-volumes.ts already resolves the same value. It uses deps.workspace, then process.env.OPENSHELL_WORKSPACE, then OPENSHELL_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE. If the default changes in sandbox-ssh-host.ts, this call site keeps the old value. Volume approval labels would then name a different workspace from the one the rest of the flow uses.

Import OPENSHELL_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE. Better, export the resolver from managed-state-volumes.ts and call it here.

♻️ Proposed fix
-        workspace: process.env.OPENSHELL_WORKSPACE ?? "default",
+        workspace: process.env.OPENSHELL_WORKSPACE ?? OPENSHELL_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE,

Add this import:

import { OPENSHELL_DEFAULT_WORKSPACE } from "../../adapters/openshell/sandbox-ssh-host";

Reviewed commit 4dafb596752ecc32a1cf890cbd53b218c44f7557 against base 169c038ca088a73a10ad5e76310be455147b261b.

Two current CodeRabbit findings are reproducible and block approval:

  1. createLazyPodmanContainerEngine().capture() drops the fourth privateTransport argument. The privileged Podman cleanup path requests larger bounded input and an explicit output cap, but the wrapper silently falls back to the engine defaults. This can reject valid large shared state and loses the requested output bound. Forward the fourth argument and add a regression assertion that the requested input/output bounds reach the bound engine.

  2. The Docker stopped-target backup exclusion tests the complete tab-separated discovery output for a backup-name suffix. With the newly appended isolation-role column, a backup row with a non-empty role no longer ends in that suffix and can be selected. Parse the selected discovery row and reject the backup suffix in its name field before inspection or cleanup; cover a backup row with a populated role.

Current CI also fails the exact head in cli-test-shards (10) with ten interrupted-recovery failures, including unsupported runtime-version output and cleanup assertions being preempted by unproven sandbox identity. This is attributable to the current commit and matches the PR body. Repair the fixtures without weakening ownership, cleanup, or refusal assertions.

The exact-head managed activation jobs are still running. The only posted PR Review Advisor result is for e826d1d, so its E2E recommendation is stale for this head. Please obtain a current Advisor result and complete every recommended exact-head E2E before re-review.

Security review covered secrets, injection, authorization, credentials, network exposure, dependencies, data handling, supply chain, and workflow permissions. I found no separate critical vulnerability. The two findings above are runtime-boundary correctness and data-integrity blockers.

Reviewed commit bbc448488d75a3fa5e26279e48518a875a6a1f59 against base 169c038ca088a73a10ad5e76310be455147b261b.

The Docker backup-row blocker is resolved. The repair parses the container name field before it applies the backup suffix check. The regression test covers a row with a populated sandbox role.

The Podman transport blocker remains. createLazyPodmanContainerEngine().capture() still accepts only args, timeout, and input. It calls the bound engine without the fourth privateTransport argument. The privileged cleanup path therefore loses its requested input and output bounds. Forward that argument and add a regression assertion that the bound engine receives both limits.

CI and automated review for this commit are still running. The posted PR Review Advisor result is for e826d1d, so its E2E recommendation is stale. I will approve after the remaining blocker is fixed and the latest-commit checks, automated review, and recommended E2E evidence are complete.

Both prior code blockers are resolved. The Docker path now checks the parsed container name before selecting a backup. The Podman wrapper now forwards privateTransport, and its regression test verifies both requested bounds reach the bound engine.

I could not run the focused test locally because this checkout has no installed root dependencies. Current CI is running the regression suite for this commit.

I am not approving yet. Required checks and CodeRabbit are pending, and the posted PR Review Advisor result is still for e826d1d. I will approve when the latest-commit checks and automated reviews pass and the latest Advisor E2E recommendations are satisfied.

Reviewed commit b0352764d90d105ab9831cf559cb4bbb858ae769 against base e0e0afaf3a419ea52d776d8678481c588aad2987.

The latest repair is correct. Backup exclusion is now bound to the selected Docker target record. An unrelated supervisor backup no longer blocks a legitimate stopped target, while a selected backup container still fails closed. Regression coverage exercises both cases. A range-diff also confirmed that the preceding 21 reviewed patch commits were preserved unchanged across the main-branch merge.

I found no new blocking defect in this delta. I am not approving yet because refreshed exact-head checks and automated review are still running, and the posted PR Review Advisor result remains stale at e826d1d. I will approve after the current checks and automated reviews pass and every latest-head Advisor E2E recommendation is satisfied.

Reviewed commit e9e0488 against base e0e0afa. I found one data-safety blocker in the new OpenShell 0.1.3 workspace-approval flow. Please preserve a volume created by another invocation between the first inspection and named volume creation, and add a regression test for that interleaving. Code approval is withheld; CI and merge eligibility are separate.

src/lib/onboard/managed-workload/managed-state-volumes.ts:255-281: A successful named docker volume create does not prove this invocation created the volume. If another invocation creates this name after before reports absent, Docker returns the existing volume and this line records it in created. With the same NemoClaw ownership labels but another workspace approval, the new check at line 267 throws and the catch at line 276 removes that retained volume; the exit cleanup can also remove an approved competing volume. This contradicts the retained-data guarantee. Bind cleanup to an invocation-specific creation identity verified after creation and again before removal, or use an exclusive creation operation. Test both the mismatched-workspace and successful-create interleavings.

Follow-up on the commit under review, e9e0488217126b1080b217f526c911b09c8ce6c9:

The nine downloaded specialist reports from Advisor run 39880618408 name this commit and base e0e0afaf3a419ea52d776d8678481c588aad2987, but their reasons assess a Portable Hermes Podman setup change: crun, disabled container cgroups, TasksMax, and a changed native Podman setup action. None of those workflow or action files is in this PR's 58-file diff. The reports recommend portable-hermes-finalization for that unrelated change. The green Advisor gate is therefore not usable as substantive review or E2E selection evidence for this PR. Please correct the Advisor context and obtain reports that assess this diff before approval.

The PR description also calls 1ec714c the current commit under evaluation and labels its runs fresh; the latest PR commit is e9e0488. Please update that status text so readers can distinguish historical results from current-commit evidence.

Commit under review: db3cdce76f5c1478b489a641b296d92d85c9a933 against base e0e0afaf3a419ea52d776d8678481c588aad2987. Review verdict: CHANGES_REQUESTED.

The prior volume-creation race is resolved. prepareManagedStateVolumes now records rollback ownership only when the observed volume carries this invocation's creation ID. Cleanup checks that ID again. The new tests cover a competing create with matching and mismatched workspace approval, plus replacement before rollback and exit cleanup.

Two blockers remain in paths unchanged by this repair:

  1. scripts/checks/run-managed-image-openshell-e2e.ts:1284-1318, test/e2e/live/managed-image-protected-runtime-helpers.ts:301-310,969-1005, and .github/workflows/e2e.yaml:5213: Each of nine serial agent/provider transactions can consume two 210-second sandbox commands. Those commands alone can take 63 minutes of the 75-minute job budget, before provider startup, rollback, cleanup, and evidence publication. Slow successful qualification can therefore time out without a complete result. Reduce duplicated per-agent work or enforce a suite deadline that reserves time for rollback and evidence. Add a deterministic budget check.

  2. scripts/checks/run-managed-image-openshell-e2e.ts:239-265 and test/inference/managed/managed-image-interrupted-recovery.test.ts:141-149,455-468: Recovery cleanup selects a version-specific sandbox-list flag, but the test supplies only OpenShell 0.0.116 and asserts only --limit 2. Add a 0.1.3 cleanup case that observes the version read, --page-size 2, strict empty-list parsing, and subsequent cleanup. Keep the legacy assertion.

The replacement Advisor run 39893940712 assessed this PR's diff and raised these findings. Its proposed production version cutover belongs to #12603, as the PR outcome states, so that finding does not expand this PR's scope. I found no new security or data-safety issue in the three-file volume repair. The latest PR commit is GitHub Verified and DCO passed. CI is still running for this commit; approval is withheld because of the two findings above. GitHub currently reports the PR open and blocked.

Commit under review: db3cdce76f5c1478b489a641b296d92d85c9a933. Review verdict: CHANGES_REQUESTED.

The creation ID fixes the race between the first inspection and named creation. I need to correct my previous conclusion that the volume cleanup path was resolved. removeOwnedVolume checks the creation label at src/lib/onboard/managed-workload/managed-state-volumes.ts:164-178, then removes the current volume by reusable name at line 180. A competing invocation can replace that volume between those operations. Rollback or exit cleanup can then delete the competitor's retained data. The new tests replace the volume before cleanup inspects it; they do not cover replacement after that inspection. Three specialist reports in exact-commit Advisor run 39896622055 identify this same data-safety failure.

Please prevent replacement throughout the ownership check and removal, using an operation that binds deletion to the inspected identity. If the container engine cannot provide that guarantee, preserve the named volume during incomplete-create and exit cleanup instead of deleting by name. Add a test that replaces the volume after cleanup inspection and verifies that cleanup preserves the replacement. Another label inspection alone would leave the same gap.

The two findings in my previous review also remain: the protected runtime can exceed its 75-minute job budget, and the recovery test lacks the OpenShell 0.1.3 absence-query case. The production runtime cutover remains owned by #12603. Approval is withheld. The latest PR commit is unchanged and GitHub reports the PR open and blocked.
