Reviewed exact head eb560abae63f89183406b3cc273ecb8bf12ccfd2.
Requesting changes for blocking security and qualification failures:
-
.github/workflows/e2e.yamlbroadens the credential predicate from main-only to every same-repositoryworkflow_dispatchwith an emptycheckout_sha(for example lines 2629-2631 and thetrusted_mainvalues around 2904/2944/2985). A dispatch of this workflow from a feature branch executes branch-controlled workflow/test code while exposing Docker Hub, NVIDIA, Brave, and GitHub credentials through the reusable standard-profile jobs. Restore therefs/heads/mainrequirement for direct credential-bearing dispatches, or move branch qualification behind controller-owned workflow code pinned to an immutable trusted main revision before secrets are made available. Boundary tests must reject a direct feature-branch dispatch. -
The required exact-head checks show deterministic repository failures, not infrastructure noise.
cli-test-shards (6)fails atsrc/lib/onboard/managed-image-catalog.test.ts:428because every returned source now includes an unaccountedrepositoryfield.static-checksfails because the renamed larger-runner security test has an unapproved source-shape exception and leaves the previous allowance unused. The aggregatecli-testsandchecksfailures follow from those two jobs. Update the tests/ratchets and rerun the required suite. -
The activated ordinary onboarding path is not qualified across existing stock flows. The generic NVIDIA GPU lane now fails onboarding because the new unconditional shipped-agent activation tries to resolve managed image catalog
v0.1.0and receives GHCR HTTP 404. The two full default E2E dispatches also report multiple failed/cancelled paths, while the PR description still marks exact-head CI and the broad gate pending. Wire the exact published cohort into all affected lanes or otherwise preserve their supported source path, then provide green exact-head evidence before this default switch ships.
Security review:
- Secrets/credentials: FAIL — feature-branch workflow dispatches can receive repository credentials.
- Input validation/sanitization: PASS — catalog revision and file inputs remain structurally bounded.
- Authentication/authorization: FAIL — repository identity is checked, but trusted branch/workflow-code identity is not required before secret exposure.
- Dependencies: PASS — action references remain full-SHA pinned in the reviewed paths.
- Error handling/logging: PASS — managed catalog failures are explicit and fail closed.
- Cryptography/data protection: PASS — image selection remains digest-bound; no new cryptographic primitive.
- Configuration/security headers: FAIL — credential-bearing workflow predicates intentionally remove the main-ref guard.
- Security testing: FAIL — workflow boundary tests were changed to accept the unsafe direct-branch predicate, and required CLI/static checks are red.
- System security: FAIL — the production-default activation currently breaks a previously supported GPU onboarding lane on missing catalog publication.

<!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 --> ## Summary The managed startup profile validator rejected hydrated messaging package pins and credential placeholder lines before sandbox startup. This change accepts only the two schema-owned forms while continuing to reject raw credentials, malformed assignments, mismatched keys, wrong paths, and wrong types. ## Related Issue Fixes #9355 ## Changes - Accept a boolean `pin` only at `messaging.plan.buildSteps[*].value.pin`. - Accept a single canonical environment assignment only at `messaging.plan.agentRender[*].lines[*]` when its approved credential placeholder key matches the left-hand environment key. - Add focused positive and negative regression coverage for both accepted forms and the nearby rejection cases. - Close the detection gap where the generic credential-shape scanner had tests for standalone placeholders and raw secrets, but not for the hydrated messaging plan shapes that own these values. ## Type of Change - [x] Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor) - [ ] Code change with doc updates - [ ] Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications) - [ ] Doc only (includes code sample changes) ## Quality Gates <!-- Check one tests line.

CodeRabbit reports minimal merge risk and no actionable comments; the exact-head advisor recommends `merge_as_is` with no canonical findings. - [x] Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue: Maintainer Aaron Erickson accepted `CI / Pull Request / cli-test-shards (6)` and its `cli-tests`/`checks` aggregates. The unchanged current-main test references the renamed `Authorize Launchable image publication` step; PR #9369 corrects that one-line contract, and merged PR #9370 records the same accepted non-success. The failure does not overlap this PR's files or behavior. ## DGX Station Hardware Evidence <!-- Required only when scripts/prepare-dgx-station-host.sh changes.

The current-main `messaging-providers` issue gate passed with every phase green, and protected all-agent GPU/local-inference/rollback/cleanup qualification passed. Eight unrelated non-successes were classified: six old-head OpenClaw ownership-handoff/cascade failures fixed on current `main` by #9370, one GPU runner driver/library mismatch that failed closed, and one Deep Agents evidence-publication failure after its behavior phases passed.

Summary
Flip ordinary OpenShell Docker-driver onboarding for OpenClaw, Hermes, and LangChain Deep Agents Code from the legacy Dockerfile build path to the existing exact-digest managed-image path.
Portable onboarding, non-managed agents, candidate qualification, and explicit
--from <Dockerfile>retain their existing paths. Native Podman remains disabled.This PR intentionally lands the switch before full exact-head qualification. The complete E2E matrix, including manual DGX Spark runs, will be recorded on this PR. Any actual failures will be filed as separate prerequisite issues linked to #9140 before this PR ships; this PR contains no speculative repairs.
