Summary

The OpenClaw Personal stock prompt now tells OpenClaw to select one machine-readable result containing the price, symbol, and quote timestamp. The final response must copy that result's raw timestamp into source_timestamp and convert the same token to as_of, so the reducer can reject inferred, mixed-source, or shifted timestamps.

Related Issue

Fixes #10330

Changes

  • Require OpenClaw to keep fetched results isolated and use one result that contains NVDA, its numeric price, and its market or update timestamp.
  • Require the response to preserve the selected result's timestamp token in source_timestamp and derive as_of from that token.
  • Require the reducer to find that exact extended or compact date token, token-bounded ISO timestamp string, or Unix-epoch value in the paired result and verify the as_of conversion.
  • Preserve bounded session tool names and provider mentions when projected evidence supplies result content, so a projection cannot hide a forbidden tool call.
  • Preserve date-only source values and exact Unix-epoch instants instead of adding a clock time or deriving as_of from a neighboring field.
  • Require Unix-epoch conversion to ignore exchange hours, timezone labels, and daylight-saving rules, then reverse-check the exact integer before returning success.
  • Reject impossible calendar dates before JavaScript can normalize them, in both reply parsing and paired-result reduction.
  • Cover the prompt contract, accepted date and epoch forms, equivalent ISO normalization, impossible and unrelated dates, one-hour-shifted epoch conversions, missing raw timestamps, and malformed timestamp suffixes.
  • Keep nvdaPersonalStockReplyMatchesEvidence as the single five-day age and one-day future-skew policy, with exact boundary tests.
  • Remove the unused asOfRecent result field so the validator remains the only freshness owner.

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior; justification:
  • 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: A nine-category self-review found no changed runtime network, credential, authorization, or sandbox control. This PR tightens the internal E2E evidence control for paired results, allowed tools, timestamp evidence, and redacted artifacts by preserving session tool names when result content comes from a projection. Focused tests reject hidden forbidden calls and mixed, missing, malformed, unrelated, or incorrectly converted timestamps. Runtime SSRF and DNS-rebinding enforcement remains owned by the existing OpenShell and network-policy paths.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer; check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: no-docs-needed
  • Evidence: Reviewed commit fca12e823; the effective diff against current main changes only the internal live E2E prompt, evidence reducer, and deterministic support tests, so no public documentation requires an update.
  • Agent: Codex Desktop

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

  • Tested on DGX Station
  • Tested commit: Not applicable; scripts/prepare-dgx-station-host.sh is unchanged.
  • Station profile/scenario: Not applicable.
  • Result: Not applicable.
  • Supporting evidence: Not applicable.

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; node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --project e2e-support test/e2e/support/common-egress-agent-helpers.test.ts: 1 file and 77 tests passed. The 32 growth-guardrail tests and npm run typecheck:cli pass on this commit. The 69 watch-trigger baseline tests previously passed on the current main sync.
  • Applicable broad gate passed: npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes. Not applicable to this focused three-file prompt, reducer, and deterministic support-test change.
  • 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)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Personal Stock flow now requires exact source timestamp evidence. It supports ISO, compact-date, and Unix timestamp formats, validates correspondence with as_of, and updates the agent prompt and tests.

Changes

Stock timestamp grounding

Layer / File(s) Summary
Timestamp evidence contract
test/e2e/live/common-egress-agent-helpers.ts
Stock replies and fingerprints now require source_timestamp. Evidence matching validates bounded timestamp tokens and correspondence with as_of.
Personal Stock prompt and assertion contract
test/e2e/live/openclaw-agent-assertion.ts
The prompt requires one complete result, preserves the exact source timestamp, and converts it to as_of. Quote-age and future-skew validation were removed.
Timestamp grounding validation
test/e2e/support/common-egress-agent-helpers.test.ts
Tests cover normalized, malformed, missing, mismatched, trailing, date-only, and internal-source timestamp cases.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 49fd7

The change may accept an impossible calendar date as valid quote timestamp evidence after date normalization. This is a bounded correctness issue requiring explicit owner follow-up, but the PR remains mergeable.

Closing this implementation after reassessing the test boundary. The fixes here correctly tighten the stock-specific contract, but that contract is not the NemoClaw behavior we need to protect.

NemoClaw owns Personal network policy, in-sandbox HTTPS access, OpenClaw invoking web_fetch, evidence that the permitted tool reached the intended public URL, and the absence of search-provider credentials or forbidden tools. NemoClaw does not own finance-source response shapes, stock quote semantics, or a model's Unix timestamp conversion.

The stock witness was introduced with #9346. It made the Personal-policy E2E depend on an external finance source and model interpretation. The advisory run for this PR also failed before reaching that behavior because the candidate sandbox image manifest returned HTTP 404, which illustrates the cost of a live boundary without adding confidence in the stock contract.

Issue #10330 now scopes the replacement to a deterministic keyless public HTTPS fetch under Personal. A fresh PR will remove the stock prompt, parser, timestamp validation, and finance-specific reducer predicates while retaining evidence for the actual NemoClaw contract. This PR should remain closed and should not merge.
