Summary

Restore the PR exact OpenClaw MCP qualification path end to end. The job now onboards the exact managed image, preserves a classified MCP credential environment alongside gateway-only inference credentials, and performs authenticated discovery with the live revision-scoped OpenShell placeholder.

Root cause

The same two five-phase qualification jobs were genuinely green before the dependency upgrade. The last clean pre-upgrade pair, run 32332905722 at ab5db717b, installed OpenShell 0.0.101 and passed without a waiver. NemoClaw PR #9192 then merged at 2026-08-19 22:29 PDT and upgraded OpenShell directly from 0.0.101 to 0.0.106. The first exact pair based on 0.0.106, run 32338412376, failed phase 3 in both passes with no successful MCP request.

The causal OpenShell change is OpenShell PR #2510, merged as 0120535ef, which introduced endpoint-bound static credential snapshots. A profileless inference provider contributes a static environment key without binding or non-secret classification; the binding-capable supervisor rejects that snapshot as provider environment contains an unclassified credential key and revokes the otherwise correctly bound MCP credential too.

The failures occurred at five successive boundaries:

  1. The PR MCP child environment dropped the managed-image catalog and activation inputs. Onboarding therefore built a Dockerfile image instead of qualifying the candidate image.
  2. With the exact image active, OpenShell 0.0.106 emitted the legacy openai provider credential without selected-profile binding metadata. The supervisor rejected the provider environment as containing an unclassified credential and atomically withheld the MCP static credential too.
  3. After classifying the inference provider with an endpointless profile, the discovery runtime still synthesized openshell:resolve:env:<KEY>. OpenShell's bound resolver requires the current live revision-scoped value (openshell:resolve:env:v<revision>_<KEY>), so discovery received HTTP 500 before any request reached the fake MCP server.
  4. Once diagnostic discovery used the live revision and successfully listed fake_echo and fake_status, the managed mcporter config still persisted the canonical unversioned placeholder. The direct agent-adapter proof therefore received HTTP 500 even though the diagnostic path was green.
  5. After both diagnostic discovery and direct mcporter discovery passed, the test entered a separate trusted-private DNS-rebinding fixture. That fixture rewrote /etc/hosts on the runner and sandbox, but OpenShell resolves egress in the Docker supervisor namespace. The supervisor never observed the fake hostname mapping, rejected the connection before it reached the server, and the negative-only raw probe had previously passed for the same wrong reason.
  6. Once both passes reached the rebuild lifecycle, the 0.0.106 migration's pre-delete removeGeneratedPolicy() correctly removed mcp-bridge-fake, but the captured policy selection still handed that generated name to inner onboarding and generic policy replay. The first correction normalized the rebuild session, but resumed sandbox creation then overwrote it from the intentionally preserved crash-recovery registry row. Recreate therefore still failed deterministically with Preset not found: mcp-bridge-fake before the dedicated MCP restore phase could reattach the provider, generated policy, and adapter.

This is the normal host-gateway / one-container-per-sandbox topology. No custom MCP sidecar is involved.

Changes

  • Preserve the workflow-owned managed-image catalog, candidate SHA, live qualification flag, and supervisor image across the MCP child-process boundary.
  • Activate onboarding through --temp-managed-runtime and --temp-managed-runtime-catalog, then require the sandbox receipt to identify the exact candidate revision.
  • Import an endpointless, inference-capable openai profile before the endpointless MCP profile so OpenShell can classify gateway-only inference credentials without injecting them into workloads.
  • When openai already exists, export it and require the exact gateway-only boundary: id: openai, empty credentials/endpoints/binaries, and inference_capable: true. Fail closed before MCP policy or provider mutation on export failure, malformed output, or a mismatch.
  • Make MCP discovery read the fresh process environment and accept only a canonical or revision-scoped OpenShell placeholder for the declared key. Raw, wrong-key, malformed, missing, and injected values fail closed and never enter argv, output, or a request.
  • Return the bounded live credential revision from the attachment-readiness proof and project that exact revision into managed mcporter configuration. Post-write registration inspection now requires the same readiness-proven revision (v12 cannot verify as v11); canonical status/removal matching remains available only when readiness was canonical.
  • Qualify every mcp-bridge-*.ts change through the PR and main managed-image workflow boundaries so adapter projection changes cannot bypass this live proof.
  • Scope exact managed-image CI to the topology it actually owns: exact-image onboarding, authenticated public MCP discovery, direct adapter use, endpoint boundaries, credential rotation, restart, and removal. The evidence records managed-image-discovery; the job no longer claims trusted-private DNS-rebinding coverage from a runner/sandbox hosts fixture that cannot control the supervisor resolver. Full MCP E2E retains that proof for supervisor-authoritative DNS topologies.
  • Exclude only the generated policy names already preserved by the MCP rebuild transaction from inner-onboard and generic policy replay. The outer rebuild now carries that normalized selection through an explicit authoritative create intent, so sandbox recreation cannot replace it from the stale source registry row or ambient policy variables. Matching-journal recovery remains a fallback, a journal for another sandbox cannot supply policy state, the crash-recovery registry remains untouched, built-in and operator policy selections remain unchanged, and the dedicated post-rebuild MCP phase remains the sole owner of restoring the provider-bound generated policy and adapter.
  • Rebuild and pin the reviewed MCP discovery runtime bundle.

The openai profile is a provisional compatibility path for the pinned 0.0.106 binary, not the intended ownership model. The ownership-free fix is OpenShell PR #2862: at the gateway response boundary, remove each static key that lacks binding metadata before sending the snapshot to a binding-capable supervisor. Bound static credentials and valid dynamic credentials remain active, provider resolution stays unchanged, and legacy supervisors retain their existing strip-all behavior. The full 1,415-test server suite passes (1,408 passed, 7 ignored), as do formatting and warning-as-error clippy. After that fix is released and NemoClaw updates its pin, this PR should remove the provisional shared profile and its lifecycle code.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates the OpenShell supervisor image digest, makes OpenClaw MCP discovery failures fail the job directly, removes the separate enforcement step, and updates the workflow test to match the new behavior.

Changes

MCP discovery workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Discovery workflow control
.github/workflows/managed-images.yaml
The workflow uses a new supervisor image digest. Discovery failures no longer continue for separate validation. The always-running enforcement step was removed.
Workflow test contract
test/managed-image-publication-workflow.test.ts
The test compares the discovery supervisor image with the stable MCP image and removes checks for deleted discovery and enforcement settings.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 29079

The PR aligns the managed-image workflow with the intended supervisor version. A small test-hardening follow-up is needed because the comparison can pass when both values are missing, which could mask a regression without affecting runtime behavior; no merge-blocking risk remains.

I reproduced one blocking gap in commit e950965: the waiver accepts any self-consistent 40-character evidence SHA because it does not compare the evidence with CANDIDATE_SHA.

I will require both evidence SHA fields to equal CANDIDATE_SHA, add the negative test, run focused checks, and review the updated commit before approval.

The new openai profile path accepts any preexisting profile whose import reports already exists, without exporting and validating its shape. That is weaker than the adjacent MCP profile path, which verifies credentials, endpoints, binaries, and inference_capable before attaching credentials. A stale or operator-defined openai profile can therefore keep endpoint or credential metadata that defeats the intended gateway-only, non-injectable classification while this function reports success.

Please export an existing openai profile and require the exact intended contract before continuing: id: openai, empty credentials/endpoints/binaries, and inference_capable: true. Fail closed with a distinct diagnostic on export failure or shape mismatch. Add tests for matching existing state, mismatched endpoint or credential state, and malformed export output. Also show accepted issue or maintainer-decision evidence for NemoClaw taking ownership of this global OpenShell provider profile; this expands the PR beyond selecting the managed image and changes a shared provider namespace.

The previous approval applied to commit fcfad8ec... and does not cover this new provider-profile behavior at 838e1778....

Both exact managed-image MCP discovery passes fail on this latest PR commit during rebuild. The workflow deletes the old sandbox and removes mcp-bridge-fake, then recreation stops with Preset not found: mcp-bridge-fake; cleanup also reports the generated policy as unowned or drifted. This makes the rebuild lifecycle that this PR is intended to restore unusable. Preserve or recreate the owned generated policy before sandbox creation needs it, and add a regression that completes rebuild after the MCP host secret is removed.

The current PR Review Advisor PRA-1 blocker is also valid. Post-registration inspection does not receive the readiness-proven credential revision, and the canonical matcher accepts another bounded revision for the same environment name. Pass credentialRevision into inspection, require the exact revisioned Authorization placeholder that registration wrote, and add the proposed v12-write/v11-inspect rejection test.

The exact credential-revision finding is resolved at this latest PR commit. The rebuild blocker from my previous review remains. Both exact managed-image MCP discovery passes still fail after the old sandbox is deleted, with Preset not found: mcp-bridge-fake, followed by the same unowned-or-drifted cleanup failure.

The new rebuildPolicyPresets path therefore does not replace the stale generated preset during resumed sandbox creation. Ensure the authoritative filtered preset list reaches the policy-seeding boundary when creation resumes from an existing intent or checkpoint. Add a regression for that resumed path, then require both exact discovery passes to complete.

Follow-up bccdcf778 fixes the remaining resumed-rebuild handoff: when the outer rebuild has already deleted the source sandbox, the authoritative filtered rebuildPolicyPresets now reaches policy seeding before replacement creation instead of being gated on a live source branch.

Added regressions for both a filtered non-empty selection and an intentionally empty selection. Local evidence: focused orchestration 6/6; adjacent rebuild/persistence coverage 80/80 (the four default-timeout cases passed on isolated rerun); production TypeScript, pre-commit, and pre-push gates passed. The commit is signed and GitHub-verified.

Watching Managed Images run 32477020585 and will require activation plus exact MCP pass 1 and pass 2 before calling this resolved.

The previous blocker remains on latest PR commit 83e992c. Both exact managed-image MCP discovery passes fail in the resumed rebuild after the old sandbox is deleted. Step 6 still replays mcp-bridge-fake, which the rebuild intentionally removed, so recreation fails and cleanup refuses the drifted generated policy. This leaves the supported rebuild workflow unusable.

Carry the filtered rebuild preset list through the resumed machine and create-intent path that is actually consumed after deletion, and add a regression that exercises the full outer-delete then onboard --resume path. Require both exact discovery passes to complete on the latest PR commit.

Both independent managed-image MCP passes fail deterministically during provider-backed rebuild. After deleting the sandbox and preserving the journaled source registry entry, resume rejects that same entry as changed: Cannot resume sandbox … recreation: the preserved source registry row changed. Rebuild then leaves the sandbox destroyed, preserves stale recovery state, and cleanup cannot remove the generated MCP policy because ownership is unresolved.

Align the source-row identity snapshot with the intentional MCP teardown/journal mutation before resume, without weakening detection of unrelated concurrent changes. Add an integration test that exercises an MCP-bearing registry row through delete, preserved-row validation, recreate, and bridge restoration, plus a negative concurrent-row-mutation case. Both live passes must succeed. Artifact credential scans passed.

Both independent protected managed-image MCP discovery passes fail at the same rebuild boundary. After the missing-secret rebuild journals the replacement and updates the session, resume rejects it because the preserved source registry row changed. The sandbox has already been destroyed, and cleanup then refuses to mutate the drifted generated MCP policy. This is repeatable protected evidence, not a retry candidate.

Preserve and compare the intended source identity consistently across the journal/session transition so the missing-secret rebuild can resume without weakening stale-source rejection. Keep cleanup fail-closed, and add focused coverage for this exact transition before rerunning the protected MCP passes. The all-agent activation check passed.

## Summary

Ordinary Docker recreation previously started the replacement sandbox
before NemoClaw republished its attached OpenShell provider state. This
change republishes the existing inference, messaging, and ordinary
extra-provider state before replacement startup. Provider credentials
remain in the OpenShell gateway.

## Related Issues

Fixes #9770

## E2E Root Cause

- Root cause:
`ordinary-docker-recreate-provider-publication-order-and-inventory`
- Source run:
https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32393515799 (run
32393515799, attempt 1)

and [Upgrade v0.0.89
96508061085](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32393515799/job/96508061085)
- Recurrent evidence: [run 32378489657, messaging-providers
96456013420](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32378489657/job/96456013420)
- Signature: replacement startup uses a stale provider revision, so
canonical and validated extra credential placeholders are absent or
unresolved; credential-exposure and cleanup assertions pass

## Changes

- Move the credential-free provider refresh from sandbox finalization to
the step before ordinary Docker sandbox creation.
- Refresh the deduplicated inference, messaging, and ordinary
extra-provider inventory before replacement startup. Keep the
gateway-presence probe for inference and messaging providers, and use
the reconciled extra-provider inventory directly.
- If publication fails, delete the temporary initial policy and staged
build context, then stop before sandbox creation.
- Consolidate deterministic ordering, revision, attachment,
validated-name, credential-absence, indeterminate-extra, and
failure-containment evidence in `test/onboard-messaging.test.ts`.
- Remove the post-creation provider refresh and its unit test from
created-sandbox finalization.
- Keep provider publication in a file-private helper owned by
sandbox-create orchestration. The ordinary create branch calls it
immediately before sandbox creation; it mutates providers only for the
Docker driver.
- Use a named input object for the publication helper and keep the
messaging test file at its current 2028-line budget.
- Reconcile merged #9792 from current main as the repository-owned MCP
credential-projection and discovery repair; this PR no longer carries a
competing MCP implementation or test delta.

## Review Disposition

- Senthil's draft-state request is addressed: the PR is ready for
review.
- Both CodeRabbit notes are addressed by the named helper input and the
public `createSandbox` regression that covers successful publication,
indeterminate extra-provider failure, cleanup, and the no-create
boundary. Created-sandbox finalization no longer accepts a
provider-update runner.
- Carlos's MCP projection/discovery request is addressed by reconciling
merged #9792 from current main. The current-main MCP crash-consistency
suite passes 22/22 locally without a PR-local MCP delta.

## 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.

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
tested blobs are unchanged in the commit under review.
- `npm exec -- vitest run --project integration
test/process-recovery-supervisor-relaunch.test.ts

passed 132/132 on first parent
`1f7958ba87b6852d9b6dd910221e15d3699e5fe6`; 29 tests cover recovery and
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`.

all-agent activation and both OpenClaw trusted-private MCP discovery

- Focused [manual PR E2E run
`32504364196`](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32504364196),
attempt 1, passed the exact [`rebuild-openclaw` job

- 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

`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.

- Failed target job:

- 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.
