Summary

The standard installer now detects custom-named, same-user OpenShell services before they can compete for the selected gateway port. Ambiguous lifecycle authority stops before gateway effects, while explicit external supervision and the existing fixed-name offline fallback preserve independently managed resources.

Related Issue

Fixes #9705

Changes

  • Add one shared OpenShell service-metadata classifier for the shell installer and TypeScript onboarding path. Both consumers need the same port and executable decision, and the shared classifier avoids querying service environment values. openshell-service-coexistence.test.ts protects the parser and both integration boundaries.
  • Inspect active, transitioning, and enabled custom-named user services before managed service staging. Canonical port 8080 services remain uninspected for custom ports, and only initial user-manager unavailability uses the existing two-name activation scan.
  • Bind and revalidate the parsed gateway-management declaration before backup, retirement, OpenShell replacement, and managed service staging. External supervision skips those effects and the unused OpenShell build-dependency check.
  • Stop instead of reusing a reachable gateway when its listener does not establish lifecycle authority.
  • Redact declaration and service-query failures so unknown field names, field values, and raw service metadata do not reach diagnostics.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The installer validates gateway-management declarations, distinguishes managed and externally supervised gateways, detects competing Linux gateway services, and fails closed on ambiguous or unsafe service metadata. Onboarding startup and gateway reuse apply the same lifecycle-authority checks. Tests cover installer, service discovery, coexistence, and validation behavior.

Changes

Gateway lifecycle and coexistence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gateway management validation
scripts/install.sh, test/install-external-gateway-supervision.test.ts, scripts/checks/vitest-project-overlap.mts, vitest.config.ts, scripts/install-openshell.sh, test/install-build-dependency-preflight.test.ts, test/install-station-host-preparation.test.ts
The installer validates gateway-management declarations. External supervision skips managed service staging, OpenShell installation, build dependencies, and legacy gateway retirement. The OpenShell installer checks for strings. Tests cover declaration modes, validation, drift, effects, preflight behavior, and project routing.
Gateway service metadata classifier
src/lib/onboard/gateway/openshell-service-coexistence.ts, src/lib/onboard/gateway/openshell-service-coexistence.test.ts
The classifier validates systemd metadata, trusted executable paths, and gateway ports. It returns verdicts for inactive, unrelated, alternate-port, conflicting, malformed, ambiguous, and untrusted services.
Competing service discovery
src/lib/onboard/docker-driver-gateway-service.ts, scripts/install.sh, test/install-openshell-gateway-service.test.ts
Linux service discovery checks active and enabled noncanonical services. It applies timeouts, excludes canonical units, uses activation-path fallbacks, and blocks conflicting or unverifiable services without modifying foreign units.
Onboarding authority and validation
src/lib/onboard/docker-driver-gateway-env.ts, src/lib/onboard/docker-driver-gateway-env.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/gateway-reuse.ts, src/lib/onboard/gateway-reuse.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/gateway-management.ts, src/lib/onboard/gateway-management.test.ts
Package-managed startup invokes competing-service validation before port checks. Gateway reuse rejects unknown lifecycle authority. Unknown declaration fields produce a generic error without echoing field names or values.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3b37e

This installer and onboarding change has targeted test coverage, but the applicable broad validation gate is not marked as passed or accepted; merge readiness remains blocked until that validation result or maintainer approval is recorded.

The manual PR workflow does not run these selectors for the commit under review. Run them from reviewed code on main.

Blockers

PRA-1 Blocker — Use one owner for the managed systemd unit

  • Location: src/lib/onboard/gateway/nemoclaw-systemd-unit-identity.ts:4
  • Category: architecture
  • Problem: The installer template and the TypeScript identity matcher each define the complete managed systemd unit. A permitted unit change requires synchronized production edits, and an omitted matcher edit causes the installer-written unit to fail trust qualification.
  • Impact: A legitimate service-template update can block gateway lifecycle operations because the trust check classifies the installer-produced unit as modified.
  • Fix: Define the complete managed unit in one canonical owner and derive both installer rendering and identity validation from that owner. Preserve exact-definition validation for unapproved changes.
  • Verification: Inspect the installer render path and matchesNemoclawGatewaySystemdUnit after changing one allowed directive through the canonical definition; both must use the updated definition without another production-template edit.
  • Test coverage: Add a focused test that derives the installer-rendered unit and the identity-match input from the same canonical owner, then proves a changed allowed directive is accepted while an unapproved directive remains rejected.
  • Evidence: src/lib/onboard/gateway/nemoclaw-systemd-unit-identity.ts:4-35 contains the full template and compares it byte-for-byte. scripts/lib/openshell-gateway.service.in:1-23 independently contains the full installer template. scripts/install.sh:2985-2987 selects scripts/lib/openshell-gateway.service.in for service staging. src/lib/onboard/gateway/nemoclaw-systemd-unit-identity.test.ts:10-18 reads the shell template but tests a separate TypeScript literal.

PRA-2 Blocker — Use one stable file-identity implementation

  • Location: src/lib/onboard/gateway/launchd-plist-identity.ts:143
  • Category: architecture
  • Problem: The launchd plist path reimplements no-follow opening, owner and permission checks, stable pre/post metadata checks, pathname revalidation, bounded reads, and descriptor cleanup that service-file-identity already owns.
  • Impact: Two implementations enforce the same filesystem trust boundary. A hardening change can correct one lifecycle path while leaving the other inconsistent.
  • Fix: Extend inspectServiceFileIdentity for launchd's bounded-content requirement, then remove the generic file-inspection helpers from launchd-plist-identity. Retain only launchd-specific plist parsing and comparison there.
  • Verification: Inspect both callers with symlink, group-writable, pathname-replacement, and short-read inputs. Each must reject these inputs through the shared inspection behavior.
  • Test coverage: Add launchd caller tests that exercise representative shared-helper denials for a symlink, a group-writable file, replacement after open, and a short read, while preserving canonical formula plist acceptance.
  • Evidence: src/lib/onboard/gateway/service-file-identity.ts:59-182 implements generic stable descriptor and pathname inspection. src/lib/onboard/gateway/launchd-plist-identity.ts:143-307 independently implements stableFileMetadata, readExactBytes, and readStableFile. src/lib/onboard/gateway/service-file-identity.test.ts:128-207 covers pathname replacement, symlink rejection, and permissions for the generic helper. src/lib/onboard/gateway/launchd-plist-identity.ts:320-342 uses the separate launchd inspection path for formula and effective files.

Recommended refactoring

Implementation guidance; a fix with equal or lower complexity is acceptable.

  • PRA-1: Remove Delete the duplicate complete TypeScript or shell template after selecting a single canonical definition.; use Derive rendering and exact identity matching from one managed-unit definition.. Net: 0 lines. Keep: Keep the exact-definition comparison and tests that reject extra or modified directives.
  • PRA-2: Remove Remove launchd-plist-identity generic metadata, read, and stable-file inspection helpers.; use Use an extended inspectServiceFileIdentity result for bounded plist bytes and generic file identity checks.. Net: 0 lines. Keep: Preserve launchd's 64 KiB limit, descriptor identity comparison, canonical plist parser, and fail-closed behavior.

1780-1829: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Classify all candidate services in one node process.

classify_noncanonical_openshell_gateway_user_service starts a new node --experimental-strip-types process for each candidate unit, and inspect_noncanonical_openshell_gateway_user_services calls it once per active or enabled service. On a host with many user units, this adds one interpreter start plus one TypeScript strip per unit to the install path.

Collect the metadata for every candidate first, then pass the set to a single node invocation that returns one verdict per service.

Derive the trusted executable paths from one source.

This inline list repeats the trusted paths that trusted_openshell_gateway_bin_for_service defines at Lines 1743-1758. The two lists can drift, and drift changes which services the installer trusts. Pass the shell-resolved trusted paths into the classifier instead of restating them in the node snippet.

Set NEMOCLAW_SOURCE_ROOT in this fixture too.

runManagedServiceStage, runOpenShellInstall, and runPreOnboardingInstallPhases each assign NEMOCLAW_SOURCE_ROOT="$SOURCE_ROOT" after sourcing the installer. This fixture does not. It therefore relies on the installer's own resolve_repo_root result for the path of src/lib/onboard/gateway-management.ts, which depends on where INSTALLER_UNDER_TEST is staged. Pin the value so the retirement assertions test declaration handling and not source-root resolution.

Make this test prove that competing-service detection blocks startup.

assertNoCompetingService returns normally. The public function still resolves to false if the production assertion is removed. Make the injected assertion throw, then assert that startPackageManagedDockerDriverGatewayWithEnvOverride rejects before fallback.

Two blocking lifecycle-safety issues remain. 1. scripts/install.sh:1937-1948 treats service-discovery status 2, including an unavailable systemd user manager, as success. The installer can then stage or retire gateway lifecycle state without checking custom-named activation paths. Inspect all relevant activation paths and fail closed when inspection is incomplete. Add unavailable-user-manager coverage for a custom service. 2. scripts/install.sh:6218-6232 validates NEMOCLAW_GATEWAY_MANAGEMENT only after ensure_station_express_pair and fix_npm_permissions. A malformed declaration can therefore fail after host or npm mutations. Validate it immediately after the runtime check and add a test that proves invalid input causes no installer effects.

Maintainer and security review

Result

PASS for validated commit 18ae901. The requested service-provenance repair is implemented and passes local validation. Merge remains blocked on one runner-configuration failure, one running check, and independent human re-review.

Review response

  • Canonical systemd names no longer establish authority. The implementation inspects the effective unit path, command record, executable hooks, drop-ins, ownership, package qualification, activation state, and selected port before reuse or lifecycle changes.
  • The NemoClaw unit must match its complete managed template. Package-managed OpenShell services must resolve to a qualified unit and executable. Foreign fragments, binaries, wrappers, arguments, hooks, and activation paths fail closed.
  • Service descriptors and executables are opened without following symbolic links, checked for stable metadata and safe ownership and modes, and bound to their complete content. Writable or changing files are rejected.
  • The effective systemd or Homebrew identity is read again before every lifecycle mutation. Legacy process retirement also revalidates the PID file, process start record, executable, arguments, and selected port. PID-file removal uses a quarantine move and preserves replacements when the path changes.
  • Homebrew startup is allowed only from a verified, unloaded formula definition with no loaded job or destination plist. A loaded or ambiguous launchd job is not changed and receives manual stop guidance.
  • Child processes receive only required host variables. Sentinel-secret tests confirm unrelated credentials and child output do not reach diagnostics.
  • The self-hosted GPU workflow now verifies the existing same-user systemd runtime and bus before candidate execution. The check only reads service state and does not start, stop, enable, or disable a service.

Security analysis

  1. Secrets and credentials — PASS. Child environments are allowlisted, diagnostics are redacted, and sentinel-secret coverage includes systemd, Homebrew, launchctl, installer, and self-hosted workflow paths.
  2. Input validation and data handling — PASS. Systemd metadata, Homebrew JSON, launchd definitions, ports, paths, arguments, file metadata, process records, and lifecycle results are validated before use.
  3. Authentication and authorization — PASS. No authentication flow or permission model changed. User-owned files must belong to the current user, while package-owned files must match their expected owner.
  4. Dependencies and third-party libraries — PASS. No dependency, image, package source, or supported integration was added.
  5. Error handling and logging — PASS. Failures identify the blocked operation without exposing raw child output, service metadata, environment values, or file contents.
  6. Cryptography and data protection — PASS. Complete file identities use SHA-256. No credential storage or cryptographic policy changed.
  7. Configuration and security boundaries — PASS. Only qualified package services or the managed NemoClaw definition can receive lifecycle control. Drop-ins, unsafe modes, ambiguous launchd state, and changed identities are rejected.
  8. Security testing — PASS. The affected CLI suite passed 360 tests across 15 files. The installer suite passed 163 tests with 10 intentional platform skips across four files. The self-hosted workflow behavior test passed nine tests. Full PR validation passed formatting, lint, ShellCheck, secret scanning, repository checks, source-shape and growth checks, commit lint, and CLI type checking.
  9. System security — PASS. Lifecycle changes fail closed when authority, activation, ownership, selected-port binding, process identity, or path stability cannot be proved. No administrator path or privilege expansion was added.

Documentation review: PASS. This repair enforces the accepted gateway ownership and coexistence contract without adding a supported integration, option, or user workflow, so no user-facing documentation change is required.

Size review: this is a large change at 12,594 additions and 1,183 deletions across 46 files. Review should remain focused on service authority, mutation ordering, diagnostic redaction, legacy-process retirement, and fail-closed tests.

Contributor attribution is preserved, including the existing Carlos Villela commits. GitHub shows all 27 commits as Verified, and the DCO check passes.

Resolved on the current commit. Service discovery now fails closed when inspection is incomplete, gateway-management validation occurs before host mutations, and focused installer tests pass 44/44.

Final exact-candidate E2E evidence for 6c43f8548ae70db5d71090cc871973152cd66327:

  • Run: 32656092866, correlation 41a474e6-a108-49ce-8afe-6faaca9e3484
  • Passed: Deep Agents repository install; v0.0.36 x86-64; v0.0.74 x86-64; v0.0.89 x86-64
  • Failed: v0.0.55 x86-64 and Arm64

The v0.0.89 target is green after the test-only #9952 credential-boundary correction. Both v0.0.55 jobs reproduced the existing #9531 final-handoff race: managed startup reached Ready, then the replacement container exited 143 before final handoff converged. Both cleanup records passed. I added the exact two-architecture evidence to #9531.

All ordinary CI, all-agent activation, and both exact managed-image MCP passes are green on this PR head. The Advisor specialists failed without producing analysis summaries or artifacts; there is no Advisor code finding to address. No E2E retry or timeout change was made.

Two approval gates remain blocked at this exact commit.

  1. Product scope needs a maintainer decision. This change adds and documents an externally supervised gateway lifecycle mode and cross-platform service-authority behavior, but linked issue #9705 is still open with needs: triage. Please record acceptance of this supported installer surface, including ownership, lifecycle, compatibility, security, and validation expectations, or narrow the change to already accepted behavior.

  2. The exact-head PR Review Advisor synthesis check failed: https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32702226898/job/97356754117. All specialist jobs passed, but synthesis did not publish a latest-head assessment. The repository merge gate therefore reports allPass: false. Please restore successful exact-head synthesis evidence or obtain the repository-approved waiver.

I verified the complete review-thread set has 0 unresolved threads, CodeRabbit has no unresolved major or critical finding, the required DCO declaration is present, all 54 commits are GitHub Verified, the PR is mergeable, and the installer/onboarding risky-code changes have extensive tests. The two older Advisor architecture blockers are fixed at this head: the managed systemd matcher reads the repository-owned template, and launchd uses the shared stable file-identity inspector. No mechanical source fix remains for me to push; approval requires the product-scope decision and a passing or explicitly waived gate.
