src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create/policy-creation-receipt.ts:42-45,124-127uses an unconditional two-second sleep as the policy-stability boundary. Two observations separated by an arbitrary delay do not prove that OpenShell finished converging; the policy can remain transient beyond two seconds or change immediately afterward. The regression test atpolicy-creation-receipt.test.ts:220-242replaces the sleep with an immediate mock, so it proves only that the second mocked response differs. It does not exercise elapsed time, a readiness signal, or the production race. Replace this with a bounded, evidence-based OpenShell policy-readiness contract with explicit transient states and a checked stable condition. If OpenShell exposes no authoritative condition, keep the path fail-closed and record that dependency instead of using a timing-only gate. -
The new stale-reservation cleanup authority is not exercised through its production owner.
sandbox-lifecycle.test.ts:45-109supplieslockHeld = truethrough a mock, whiletest/onboarding/onboard-reservation-recreate.test.tsnow fails both foreign and unstamped reservation cases because that process does not hold the new writer-lock authority. The separate registry test proves compare-and-set deletion, but it does not prove that the real onboarding caller holds the lock when it classifies a reservation as abandoned. Add a production-path regression that acquires the real onboarding writer lock and covers a replacement between classification and cleanup. Update the stale integration fixture; do not make the test pass by asserting only a voluntary lock mock.
Validation is also ineligible. The active ruleset-required checks context is failed. Nine CLI shards fail, mainly because the shared OpenShell fixtures return an ambiguous empty global-history response that the new fail-closed classifier correctly rejects. test-e2e-sandbox fails for the same reason at test/e2e-test.sh:174-175. Update the owning fixtures to emit OpenShell's canonical fresh-history absence response; do not weaken the production classifier. The host-local and recreate failures above must also be reconciled rather than hidden by reruns or retries.

Product scope: FAIL — accepted issue #9833 permits providerless APF only.
Review: CHANGES_REQUESTED.
[P1] Refuse provider-backed APF before any credential, provider, route, or sandbox effect.
The production path still admits provider-backed APF. createProviderEffectBoundary runs deferred provider activation and publication, then attachProvidersAfterSandboxCreation, after sandbox creation. The attachment revalidates immutable identity and policy, but then separately invokes openshell sandbox provider attach with the mutable sandbox name. Same-name substitution can therefore occur between authorization and mutation. The current APF integration coverage explicitly accepts provider effects after sandbox creation.
That behavior conflicts with the accepted #9833 follow-up: plans containing model, messaging, or MCP providers must stop before sandbox creation and before any provider or credential effect until OpenShell provides an atomic identity-bound attachment API. PR #10396 contains the missing early-refusal owner, but that repair is not present in the commit under review. Land and rebase that repair, or coordinate the same accepted gate here without duplicating ownership. Replace the permissive APF coverage with negative production-path tests proving no credential read or persistence, provider mutation, route reservation, sandbox creation, or attachment.
Validation: all five ruleset-required contexts pass. Focused local authority tests pass (178/178), focused integration tests pass (29/29), focused blueprint and plugin tests pass (150/150), both TypeScript checks pass, and repository checks pass. The cancellation and recovery-text blockers from the prior review are resolved. The Advisor dependency specialist was infrastructure-incomplete during collection; two non-required MCP discovery jobs were still running.

Re-review of the latest PR commit: CHANGES_REQUESTED.
[P1] Provider-backed APF still reaches credential and provider effects instead of refusing before all effects. The current production path still runs deferred provider activation and publication, then performs openshell sandbox provider attach with the mutable sandbox name after a separate identity and policy revalidation. Same-name substitution can occur between authorization and mutation. The APF integration test still accepts these provider effects after sandbox creation.
This remains contrary to accepted issue #9833, which limits this flow to providerless APF until OpenShell provides an atomic identity-bound attachment API. Add or integrate the early admission gate before credential access, route reservation, sandbox creation, provider mutation, and attachment, with negative production-path coverage.
The new recovery-reconciliation delta and synchronized base do not alter this finding. Focused latest-commit tests passed (101/101), CLI typecheck passed, all five ruleset-required checks pass, and the five new commits are GitHub Verified. Auto-merge must remain off.

Provider-backed APF authorization remains a merge blocker for this PR. PR #10396 is the sole implementation owner for the early refusal and immutable-identity mutation boundary. PR #10436 will not duplicate that change. Human review 5042738600 remains unresolved until #10396 merges, this branch includes the resulting main commit, and an exact-commit security review verifies that provider-backed APF performs no credential read or persistence, provider or route mutation, sandbox creation, or mutable-name attachment. Do not merge #10436 before that sequence completes. |

Following offline maintainer discussion, the known provider-backed APF authorization work will not block this PR. Every current ruleset-required check passes on latest PR commit @apurvvkumaria, please track the deferred APF work in a new follow-up PR. The follow-up must preserve #9833's accepted requirement: refuse before credential read or persistence, provider or route mutation, sandbox creation, or mutable-name provider attachment. It must also add negative production-path coverage. This maintainer decision defers the finding. Passing CI does not by itself verify that authorization boundary. |

Approved on latest PR commit 6cf52812c0085a7ecc9a1091437ed1082dbec0d0. All five ruleset-required checks pass.
Following the maintainer direction documented in issue comment 5442497249, the remaining provider-backed APF authorization work is deferred to a follow-up PR and does not block this approval.
…eview candidates (#10898) **Summary:** Treat each pushed commit as a stable review candidate, batch automated feedback before repairs, and merge `main` only when the candidate actually requires it. ## Outcome PR follow-up now treats each pushed commit as one candidate. Contributor and maintainer agents wait for required CI and scheduled automated reviews, batch valid repairs, constrain base integrations, and reject feedback-driven scope expansion before publishing another revision. ## Reason ### Main refreshes This is a cross-team throughput problem, not an individual contributor habit. In the latest 150 PRs merged by the core team from August 27 at 05:43 UTC through September 2 at 19:15 UTC, 2026: - 89 PRs, or 59%, contained at least one explicit merge from `main`. - Those PRs contained 514 explicit `main` refreshes. - The average was 3.4 refreshes per PR and the median was 1. | PR author | PRs | PRs refreshed | `main` refreshes | Average per PR | Median per PR | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:| | `rsliter` | 22 | 19 | 144 | 6.5 | 4 | | `ericksoa` | 9 | 5 | 82 | 9.1 | 1 | | `cjagwani` | 3 | 3 | 7 | 2.3 | 1 | | `cv` | 46 | 14 | 45 | 1.0 | 0 | | `prekshivyas` | 30 | 26 | 118 | 3.9 | 3 | | `jyaunches` | 6 | 3 | 3 | 0.5 | 0.5 | | `senthilr-nv` | 26 | 13 | 32 | 1.2 | 0.5 | | `apurvvkumaria` | 8 | 6 | 83 | 10.4 | 9.5 | The largest examples were #9923 with 57 refreshes, #10150 with 26, #10396 with 22, #10692 with 20, and #10515, #10272, #10275, and #10436 with 19 each. The average understates how bursty these refreshes are. Forty-six PRs had at least one run of consecutive `main` refresh commits. Across the sample, 85 such runs contained 223 refresh commits. Eleven PRs had 16 adjacent refresh pairs no more than five minutes apart. Eighteen had 35 pairs no more than ten minutes apart. Examples show both the repeated integrations and the review work they can invalidate: - While this PR was being prepared, its skills-only candidate hit base-owned `fast-uri` advisories in both sandbox-image builds. Prekshi refreshed it at 20:51 UTC, creating a 2,154-line merge commit and restarting Advisor, CI, CodeQL, CodeRabbit, and E2E on a new head. - On Apurv's #10436, two consecutive refresh commits landed 10 seconds apart. Each mapped to a separate PR Advisor run, and the first run was cancelled when the second head arrived. - On #10618, four refresh commits appeared consecutively. The final two were 2 minutes 20 seconds apart and produced separate Advisor runs; the earlier run was cancelled when the later one began. - On Prekshi's #10692, two consecutive refresh commits were 3 minutes 8 seconds apart, and each produced a separate Advisor run. - On Rebecca's #10150, four refresh commits appeared within 13 minutes 15 seconds. Prekshi authored three and the automation bot authored one, showing that churn on an author's PR is not necessarily initiated by that author. - #10308 contained nine consecutive refresh commits. They were spread across several days, but each still replaced the commit under review. The analysis used complete paginated GitHub GraphQL commit histories. A `main` refresh is a commit with multiple parents whose headline names `main`, `origin/main`, or `upstream/main`. This excludes same-branch merges. It also excludes rebase-based base updates, so it measures explicit main merges rather than every possible base update. Commit timestamps identify integrations, not push times. The examples that claim a review restart were separately matched by refresh SHA to PR Advisor workflow runs. ### Batching feedback The current Advisor expands each `synchronize` event into nine independent specialists and publishes their separate reviews. CodeRabbit reviews the incremental commit range. Acting on the first finding can therefore create another commit while the remaining specialists and checks are still in flight, producing overlapping or genuinely new feedback. Complete collection makes it possible to deduplicate findings, group them by root cause, and make one repair instead of serial repair loops. ### Stable review candidates Each pushed refresh replaces the commit under review and can retrigger CI, CodeRabbit, and the PR Advisor. Human review and approval evidence can become stale before that fanout settles. A base integration can also import new contracts, fixtures, and generated identities into the candidate, which gives incremental reviewers genuinely new material. Treating one unchanged commit as the candidate keeps every check and finding attached to the same code until the complete evaluation is ready for one repair decision. ## Changes - Define a stable-candidate protocol in the shared PR follow-up contract. It waits for each scheduled Advisor specialist, CodeRabbit, and required CI on one unchanged latest PR commit, then collects each specialist review from its job summary or artifact. - Deduplicate findings and classify each as candidate-owned or inherited, in-scope or new scope, and blocking or advisory before repairs begin. - Permit candidate integration with the base only for a conflict, a required merged dependency, or the final merge gate after other findings settle. - Keep code-changing PRs draft until automated evaluation settles. Reuse `headRefOid` and non-force pushes as an optimistic publication guard instead of adding new shared state. - Stop implementation repairs that add runtime, lifecycle, security, deployment, or supported-interface scope without a new decision. - Carry the original objective, accepted scope, deferred scope, and complete root-cause group into every routed repair. - Fail closed on a failed Advisor specialist or missing artifact until a NemoClaw maintainer chooses a full-workflow rerun or deferral. - Preserve settled remote review evidence while inspecting local repair and validator-created diffs, with `headRefOid` guarding against competing updates. - Apply the same sequencing rules to maintainer approval and salvage workflows. - Add skill eval cases for refreshes during review, incomplete or failed Advisor evidence, repair scope, local publication guards, and premature ready-for-review requests. ## Verification - `bash test/e2e/e2e-cloud-experimental/features/skill/lib/validate_repo_skills.sh`: passed for all 29 repository skills. - Eval JSON parse for all three changed eval files: passed. - Changed-file prek checks: passed Markdown, JSON, secret scanning, and growth guardrails. - Commit hooks: passed pre-commit and commitlint. - `npm run validate:pr`: passed pre-commit, commitlint, and applicable pre-push checks against canonical `main` at `f427b07d0e01b309983239dd97c989234b18c3c1`. - `node --experimental-strip-types tools/pr-review-advisor/render-specialist-matrix.mts`: confirmed nine current Advisor specialists. - Complete Advisor reports were read for every repair candidate from `4b67754e8` through `ca2f47c5e`; valid findings were batched by root cause before each repair. - The final `ca2f47c5e` set had no valid finding. Eight specialists reported none; the code-reduction suggestion was rejected because `TEST-GAPS.md` can change a PR without entering the merge or salvage procedures that retain the proposed prerequisite. - Diff inspection: no secrets, API keys, or credentials. ## Review notes - `npm run review:local` did not reach the diff. The local Advisor sandbox gateway refused its configuration connection, then cleanup reported `EACCES` on its temporary context. This is environmental unavailable evidence, not a review finding. - The generic `skill-creator` quick validator could not start because the host Python environment lacks PyYAML. The repository's dependency-free validator passed all skills. - On `e18ab4253`, both sandbox-image builds failed on advisories against the base-owned `fast-uri@3.1.5` lock. The refresh to `main` brought the existing `3.1.6` remediation; no candidate source change was required. - On `ca2f47c5e`, `test-e2e-sandbox` failed while planning the base-owned `nim-service.local` endpoint because it is private or reserved. The blueprint, rejection code, and E2E script are unchanged from the PR base, so no candidate repair or rerun applies. --- Signed-off-by: Rebecca Sliter <571084+rsliter@users.noreply.github.com> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Documentation** - Updated pull request workflows to require complete, settled specialist review evidence before review, repair, approval, integration, or publication. - Clarified collection of individual review results and artifacts, including failed or missing evidence as blocking conditions. - Required preservation of the original objective, accepted and deferred scope, dispositions, and root-cause context throughout repairs. - Added safeguards against scope-expanding repairs across runtime, lifecycle, security, deployment, and supported-interface boundaries. - Strengthened commit verification, single-commit publication, base-branch failure handling, and fresh validation after integration. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Signed-off-by: Rebecca Sliter <571084+rsliter@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Rebecca Sliter <571084+rsliter@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Prekshi Vyas <34834085+prekshivyas@users.noreply.github.com>
Summary
This change repairs 13 onboarding regressions in global-policy inspection, receipt-bound lifecycle reuse, policy stabilization, and Model Router reservation ownership. The affected flows now preserve exact gateway, sandbox, policy, and session authority while stale or foreign state remains fail-closed.
