Summary

Trust the exact normalized OpenShell installer template prepared by #9726 while retaining the current template during the transition. This prerequisite lets base-trusted CI review the successor before the runtime PR adopts it.

Changes

  • Add the reviewed e850e927… template digest beside the current OpenShell 0.0.106 installer digest.
  • Keep runtime installer behavior unchanged. A direct edit in fix(installer): qualify existing OpenShell services #9726 cannot authorize its own template because pull request CI runs this parser from the base commit.
  • Use the existing installer hash checks to verify both the current installer and the reviewed successor.

Type of Change

  • 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

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification: test/installer-hash-check.test.ts passed 84 tests, and the live installer hash check accepted both the current installer and the fix(installer): qualify existing OpenShell services #9726 successor template.
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
  • Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: Independent review found that the exact transitional digest preserves the base-trusted parser boundary and changes no runtime behavior.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

  • Tested on DGX Station
  • Tested commit:
  • Station profile/scenario:
  • Result:
  • Supporting evidence:

Verification

  • PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — command/result or justification: npx vitest run --project integration test/installer-hash-check.test.ts passed 84 tests; npm run check:installer-hash passed; the trusted parser and live hash checker accepted the exact fix(installer): qualify existing OpenShell services #9726 tree.
  • Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result:
  • Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
  • npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only)
  • Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
  • New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

Installer template trust

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update installer trust record
scripts/checks/extract-installer-pins.mts
The OpenShell 0.0.106 record updates its review comment and adds a third accepted normalized-template digest while retaining the two existing digests.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4c3a7

The PR adds a successor installer digest for trusted verification, but the current value is 63 characters and cannot pass the exact SHA-256 check, so the change is not merge-ready until the digest is corrected.

Reviewed commit 64f73914575037fcc75450428f6b5777e63d4384. This prerequisite adds one exact reviewed successor template digest without changing runtime installer selection. The added value is a valid 64-character SHA-256 digest. The installer hash suite passed 84 tests, and the live OpenShell 0.0.106 asset check passed. Automated advisors reported no blocking findings; the malformed-digest comment was factually incorrect and is resolved.

Security review

Verdict

PASS. I reviewed the latest PR revision after its update from main. The change adds one reviewed, lowercase 64-character SHA-256 installer-template identity to the base-trusted allowlist. It does not change runtime selection, parsing, authorization, network policy, credentials, dependencies, or error behavior. I found no security findings, and this change is safe to merge after the remaining repository gates pass.

Findings

No findings.

Detailed analysis

  1. Secrets and credentials — PASS. No secret values, credential paths, or logging behavior changed.
  2. Input validation and data sanitization — PASS. The added value matches the existing lowercase SHA-256 validation, and pull-request installer content remains inert input to the trusted parser.
  3. Authentication and authorization — PASS. No identity, permission, reviewer-routing, or access-control behavior changed.
  4. Dependencies and third-party libraries — PASS. No package, image, release artifact, or dependency identity changed.
  5. Error handling and logging — PASS. The existing template mismatch remains fail-closed, and diagnostics do not expose sensitive data.
  6. Cryptography and data protection — PASS. The standard SHA-256 digest is used only for integrity identity; the change does not weaken cryptographic verification.
  7. Configuration and security headers — PASS. No runtime configuration, policy, header, or deployment setting changed.
  8. Security testing — PASS. The installer hash suite passed 84 tests, both installer hash checks passed, CodeQL and ShellCheck passed on the reviewed revision, and the trust parser rejects malformed or unreviewed template identities.
  9. System security — PASS. The base-trusted boundary remains intact: this prerequisite records the reviewed installer template before the separate installer change can rely on it.

Files reviewed

  • scripts/checks/extract-installer-pins.mts

Documentation and writing review: PASS. The change is internal trust data with accurate explanatory comments and no user-facing documentation change. LOC review: +6/−4; no large increase.

Re-reviewed commit 18ee785bc890f287d2de436970ca6646c9ebca56 after merging current main. The only functional change remains the exact successor installer-template digest; runtime selection is unchanged. The installer hash suite again passed 84 tests, and the live OpenShell 0.0.106 release-asset hash check passed.

Maintainer gate note: both protected trusted-private MCP discovery passes failed at the concurrent-add serialization assertion. Each pass observed zero successful additions where the contract requires one success and one rejection (test/e2e/live/mcp-bridge.test.ts:277). Credential artifact scans passed. This is independent of the installer-template digest change, but the protected qualification gate is not green, so the PR is not ready to merge until the shared MCP failure is repaired and rerun.

Managed-image qualification blocker

The installer trust change at validated commit 8343387 passes its own required checks and has maintainer approval.

PR #9792 owns the shared managed-image MCP repair. Its current qualification run still fails in both discovery passes:

Both passes reach rebuild. Rebuild removes mcp-bridge-fake, but resumed sandbox creation still selects that removed policy name. Cleanup then refuses to mutate the drifted policy state.

This failure is outside PR #9777’s one-file installer trust change. A rerun cannot correct the deterministic rebuild state. Merge remains deferred until PR #9792 changes and both qualification passes succeed.

## Summary

The rebuild handoff could restart a healthy replacement container while
OpenShell still processed the rollback backup deletion. NemoClaw now
requires a successful OpenShell sandbox list that omits the selected
sandbox name before it restarts the replacement. During onboarding,
lifecycle polling and final readiness use the same handoff deadline.
Legacy recovery also requires lifecycle release and final readiness
before success.

## Related Issue

Related to #9531.

## Changes

- Add a bounded, fail-closed lifecycle-release check that accepts only
an explicit empty sandbox list or a parsed list that omits the exact
sandbox name.
- Require affirmative lifecycle-release evidence before either
onboarding or legacy recovery restarts the replacement; missing or
failed evidence remains fail-closed.
- Preserve the existing replacement stop and rollback backup removal
before the release check. After release evidence is established,
preserve replacement restart and final supervisor readiness as separate
authorities.
- Share the existing onboarding final-handoff deadline between lifecycle
release and final readiness, and keep polling sleep on the host after
the previous container is retired.
- Add behavior tests for every accepted lifecycle-release receipt,
neighboring malformed and phase-free outputs, failed and missing probe
statuses, `Deleting` to `Error` to name-absence ordering, exact injected
runner identity, and composed-flow success suppression.
- Update eight embedded messaging create/recreate runner fixtures to
return the canonical successful empty sandbox-list receipt required by
lifecycle release.
- Record the workaround contract, its regression tests, and the upstream
condition that permits removal.
- Document the final lifecycle-release step in the existing command
reference.

`465d7112f321d9946c5b130d87ce543de3adf38e`. The follow-up changes only
embedded test fixtures and adds no production authority. The PR net adds
no credential, authorization, dependency, cryptography, configuration,
or privilege boundary. Both onboarding and legacy recovery require the
same successful name-absence receipt before restart, failed probes
remain fail-closed, polling uses a host-bound sleep, and final readiness
is still required before success publication. Onboarding bounds
lifecycle polling and final readiness with one handoff deadline.

- Commit under review `0e1cf95d699bd81fd29e747c9f51d9536fd11493` is a
signed/DCO follow-up to reconciliation
`053d704d46ba2d0ea4b7159a80b6cbaa802d7ff3`, whose ordered parents are
[`aa533f9923bec620b49a9cebe51b81297e533910`,
`465d7112f321d9946c5b130d87ce543de3adf38e`]. The original 11 lifecycle,
recovery, and documentation blobs are byte-identical to the reviewed
first-parent candidate. The exact net against current base is 12 files,
+489/-43; the twelfth file is the fixture-only eight-for-eight
replacement in `test/onboard-messaging.test.ts`.
- On exact reconciliation `053d704d46ba2d0ea4b7159a80b6cbaa802d7ff3`,
the focused #9770 messaging recreate case reached the new fail-closed
boundary but could not proceed because its embedded runner returned a
blank successful sandbox list. The same focused case passed 1/1 on exact
current main `465d7112f321d9946c5b130d87ce543de3adf38e`, which
established that this was candidate-composition fixture debt. After the
fixture correction, `npm exec -- vitest run --project integration
test/onboard-messaging.test.ts -t "publishes attached OpenShell provider
state before a messaging recreate starts"` passed 1/1, and `npm exec --
vitest run --project integration test/onboard-messaging.test.ts` passed
15/15 on commit under review `0e1cf95d699bd81fd29e747c9f51d9536fd11493`.
- The exact lifecycle helper/finalizer suites passed 43/43 and the
current-main created-sandbox finalization suite passed 14/14 on commit
under review `0e1cf95d699bd81fd29e747c9f51d9536fd11493`.
- Fail-first commit `e9f35928c9fb0f6058525d9190247f9f31ea92d5` added the
ordering regression. The existing implementation passed 15 tests and
failed the new test because it restarted the replacement without a
lifecycle-release receipt.
- `npm exec -- vitest run --project cli` with the 17 Docker GPU patch,
lifecycle, and supervisor test files passed 202/202 on behavior commit
`66436ff58990cc47fdbf44aa876b1629b9b4d692`.
- Managed-image run `32460178030` at prior commit
`7717276800f12e779b943151ed26fb689595c2ae` exposed the next state in the
same lifecycle: both OpenClaw discovery passes reached a running
replacement but OpenShell reported the exact sandbox in `Error`. The
revised test failed 1/17 because the waiter did not accept that
controlled stopped-replacement phase; commit
`61af3e0a668ae66183b3ecd2b9c6a55d0e918c69` passed 18/18 after the
correction and negative coverage for `Failed`.
- The exact-`cd5ba235` implementation passed 41 prior tests and failed
both new lifecycle assertions: it accepted the selected sandbox's
`Error` row and restarted before the successful name-absence receipt.
The initial corrected commit then failed the composed recovery
diagnostic test because it reported a Docker start failure when restart
was not attempted. First parent
`1f7958ba87b6852d9b6dd910221e15d3699e5fe6` passed the corrected focused
helper and finalizer suite, 43/43, plus the eight-case no-forward
recovery table; those exact tested blobs are unchanged in the commit
under review.
- `npm exec -- vitest run --project cli
src/lib/onboard/docker-gpu-*.test.ts
src/lib/actions/sandbox/supervisor-relaunch.test.ts` passed 354/354 on
first parent `1f7958ba87b6852d9b6dd910221e15d3699e5fe6`; those exact

103 cover exact-base Launchable diagnostics composition, and those
tested blobs are unchanged in the commit under review.
- Composition with merged #9792 passed 19/19 isolated rebuild-lifecycle
tests, 81/81 policy/create-intent tests, and 45/45 MCP E2E-support tests
on reconciliation commit `5b1af40cf76446073be5a9d8b8ff8eb9f92908b8`.

passed at `4d45294b47342cab74ed862296928065363803a5`, including
all-agent activation and both OpenClaw trusted-private MCP discovery
passes after #9792 merged.
- Focused [manual PR E2E run
`32504364196`](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32504364196),
attempt 1, passed the exact [`rebuild-openclaw` job
`96841526032`](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32504364196/job/96841526032).
Immutable receipt `e2e-dispatch-32504364196-1` binds PR #9877, candidate
`4d45294b47342cab74ed862296928065363803a5`, base and trusted workflow
`c6dbeae8fc44ef8b0fca9813571bc4240c3a682a`, and selector
`jobs=rebuild-openclaw`; unrelated targets and staging, Jetson, and DGX
selectors were disabled.
- Composition against base `f7ed928a8d94b9854ce243b7d94928a4969883c1` on
prior PR commit `cd5ba23570a623d538b1ca0065e3278f7f592fe2` passed
211/211 inference, Hermes Portable, and Podman probe tests plus 38/38
Portable E2E-support tests. The exact-main `post-merge-docs`
safe-integer case exceeded its fixed 15-second limit both in the 61-test
composition run and alone on this macOS host; that test and its
implementation are inherited unchanged from the base and do not enter
the lifecycle path.
- `npm exec -- vitest run --project cli
src/lib/onboard/docker-driver-gateway-service-homebrew.test.ts` passed
9/9 on prior exact reconciliation
`1f7958ba87b6852d9b6dd910221e15d3699e5fe6`. `npm exec -- vitest run
--project integration test/dependency-pins-check.test.ts
test/installer-homebrew-formula-reuse-trust.test.ts` passed 12/12. These
tests cover #9882's separate Homebrew formula pin and trust checks.
- `npm exec -- vitest run --project integration
test/installer-hash-check.test.ts` passed 84/84 on retained
reconciliation `aa533f9923bec620b49a9cebe51b81297e533910`, and
host-bound `npm run check:installer-hash` accepted every pinned
OpenShell v0.0.106 release asset. These tests cover #9777's separate
installer-template trust digest.
- `npm run validate:pr` passed for commit under review
`0e1cf95d699bd81fd29e747c9f51d9536fd11493`, including the CLI typecheck,
source-shape check, repository checks, 32-test growth guardrail, and
`git diff --check`. `npm run docs` passed on retained first parent
`1f7958ba87b6852d9b6dd910221e15d3699e5fe6`; Fern reported zero errors
and two warnings, and the candidate documentation blob is unchanged in
the commit under review. Earlier behavior commit
`66436ff58990cc47fdbf44aa876b1629b9b4d692` also passed `npm run
build:cli` and `npm run docs`.
- Commit `9565fd2ace214ef16b428478925e8416f31787f2` addresses the
affirmative-release and shared-deadline findings. Commit
`5e700a8ec0dda79f1c29302cd9f1e1b4f33e8fbb` addresses the exact-9565
host-bound sleep finding and its PR Review Advisor finding PRA-1. Commit
`5b1af40cf76446073be5a9d8b8ff8eb9f92908b8` addresses the two exact-5e
CodeRabbit test-evidence findings. Commit
`7254137464264c114b3928e7c164d98ffe295de1`, preserved byte-for-byte in
the commit under review, addresses exact-`cd5ba235` Advisor finding
PRA-1 by rejecting every row that still carries the selected sandbox
name and reporting that denial without claiming Docker start failed.
- [ ] Applicable broad gate passed — `npm test` for broad
runtime/test-harness changes; `npm run check` for repo-wide
validation/coverage changes — command/result: Not applicable. This
change updates one onboarding lifecycle boundary and its focused tests;
it does not change a broad runtime or test harness.
- [x] Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or
waivers
- [x] No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
- [ ] `npm run docs` builds without warnings (doc changes only) — `npm
run docs` passed with zero errors; Fern reported two warnings.

### Source regression

- Automatic Main run:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32450387278
- Failed target job:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32450387278/job/96679136735
- Tested main commit: `b29e37613301c26cdb401b93feecc9192e430355`
- The replacement container was running and healthy, but OpenShell kept
`e2e-rebuild-oc` in `Deleting` until the 18-minute final-handoff wait
failed. Cleanup passed.
- Automatic Main run
https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32460591192 at exact
base commit `fac4e6d6783e8909aabf4a9d94f5fa809fea3ec1` reproduced the
same onboarding finalizer before Discord pairing: job
https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32460591192/job/96713099795
reported a healthy replacement with the exact sandbox still in
`Deleting`, then the same final-handoff failure.
- Exact-candidate managed-image run
https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32460178030 at prior
commit `7717276800f12e779b943151ed26fb689595c2ae` reached the controlled
stopped-replacement state in both OpenClaw discovery passes: OpenShell
reported the exact sandbox in `Error` while the replacement container
remained running. That evidence established the bounded lifecycle wait,
but the exact-`cd5ba235` Advisor review found that a name-and-phase row
cannot identify which container owns that lifecycle. Commit under review
`0e1cf95d699bd81fd29e747c9f51d9536fd11493` now requires the selected
name to be absent. #9792 merged as
`ebc600164bc08f4fb62c8078b2e0139a582b5486`; exact local rebuild,
policy/create-intent, and MCP-support composition is green.

The exact `rebuild-openclaw` target passed on reviewed commit
`4d45294b47342cab74ed862296928065363803a5` in focused run `32504364196`.
Commit under review `0e1cf95d699bd81fd29e747c9f51d9536fd11493` retains
the lifecycle-release correction and adds current-main fixture
compatibility, so exact-target E2E remains pending for that commit.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved GPU sandbox handoff reliability by confirming release of the
previous lifecycle record before restarting its replacement.
* Added bounded lifecycle checks that handle command failures,
incomplete results, and unrelated lifecycle states.
* Prevented replacement restarts and final handoff when lifecycle
release cannot be confirmed.
* Preserved the overall handoff deadline during lifecycle and supervisor
reconnection checks.

* **Documentation**
* Clarified GPU compatibility-recreation behavior during sandbox
replacement.
