chore(deps): trust OpenShell 0.0.116 manifests

[prekshivyas]

Outcome

Adds the base-trusted OpenShell v0.0.116 release identity and version-specific pin layout without changing NemoClaw's active v0.0.106 runtime selectors. A later qualification or product-cutover PR can now be checked against trust data that it cannot author for itself.

Reason

OpenShell v0.0.116 publishes a different release layout, including MUSL standalone-sandbox archives and checksum-manifest pins. NemoClaw's trusted installer parser must recognize that layout before a successor candidate can safely select it.

Related issues

• Refs security: verify runtime OpenShell version against credential boundary manifest #6256

Changes

• Trusts the three published v0.0.116 checksum manifests, the release formula, reviewed template identities, sandbox build identities, and supervisor manifest as a non-active prerequisite record.
• Binds each trusted release to an exact installer and Brev asset/manifest layout, then rejects missing, extra, changed, or cross-wired entries before release assets are checked.
• Adds published v0.0.116 fixtures and focused regression coverage for the new layout.
• Keeps every active workflow, runtime selector, and credential-manifest consumer on v0.0.106. The unconsumed v0.0.116 credential manifest is intentionally outside this prerequisite.

Release ledger

The upstream tag audit covered every adjacent semver range from the current runtime through the candidate:

Range	Endpoint commit	Release state

v0.0.107 → v0.0.108	dc374e8	tag only

Concern dispositions

Surface	Disposition in this PR	Remaining gate
Release manifests and formula	Trust exact published SHA-256 identities and fail closed on drift.	None for this prerequisite.
Packaging and sandbox ABI	Select the exact legacy or v0.0.116 layout from the base-trusted release record; test GNU/MUSL cross-wiring.	Successor qualification must exercise the candidate binaries.
Runtime, protocol, network, lifecycle, and security changes	Do not activate v0.0.116 in this PR.	Separate qualification evidence before any selector changes.
Credential manifest behavior tracked by #6256	Do not add an unconsumed v0.0.116 record.	Accepted consumer design and runtime capability evidence.

Verification

• Published v0.0.116 release assets downloaded from NVIDIA/OpenShell and independently hashed — all four trust-anchor digests match.
• npm run validate:pr — passed pre-commit, commit-message, and pre-push checks against origin/main.
• npm run typecheck:cli — passed.
• npm run checks:repository — passed.
• npm run test:projects:check — exact membership for 2,597 candidates across seven projects.
• npx vitest run --project integration test/install/installer-hash-check.test.ts test/install/openshell-release-pin-layout.test.ts — 102 tests passed.
• Affected E2E-support workflow contracts — 49 tests passed.
• npm run test:changed — passed, including 45 growth-guardrail tests.
• GitHub verifies corrective commit 71a7ca4050c952b6a3e530a000b1b083633c980c; no secrets, API keys, or credentials are present in the diff.

Review notes

• Product scope: accepted as a release-trust prerequisite only. Runtime activation remains explicitly deferred.
• Documentation review: no docs needed. This changes an internal trust checker and test fixtures without changing user-visible behavior or instructions.
• The changed path is itself part of the validation surface. Local validation is supporting evidence; exact-head CI and reviewer scrutiny remain required before approval.
• Accepted CI non-success: CLI shard 6 hit the inherited timeout tracked by perf(ci): eliminate source-loader contention and hook timeouts in CLI coverage shards #6237; see the SHA-bound maintainer disposition. No rerun is authorized.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The installer pin verifier now associates trusted releases with consumer-specific layouts. It validates binary assets and checksum manifests for installer and Brev pins. Shared fixtures and tests cover legacy and OpenShell 0.0.116 layouts, including sandbox ABI variants.

Changes

Installer pin validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release layout contracts scripts/checks/extract-installer-pins.mts	Trusted releases now define legacy and v0.0.116 installer and Brev layouts. Validation checks nonempty assets, duplicate entries, and trusted manifest references.
Consumer pin validation scripts/checks/extract-installer-pins.mts	validateReleasePinLayout selects the release layout, validates exact consumer asset sets, checks manifest digests, and returns validated asset pins for installer and Brev processing.
Release fixture generation test/helpers/openshell-release-fixtures.ts	Shared fixtures now provide v0.0.72 and v0.0.116 asset digests, checksum manifests, consumer-specific pins, and sandbox ABI rewriting.
Layout validation tests test/install/installer-hash-check.test.ts, test/install/openshell-release-pin-layout.test.ts	Tests cover expected asset sets, missing or modified manifests, incompatible sandbox ABI mappings, and untrusted releases.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 71a7c

The release-trust validation remains protected by the existing template checks, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Maintainer scope decision for @cjagwani

Decision: Accept the staged OpenShell v0.0.116 release-trust prerequisite at exact head 71a7ca4050c952b6a3e530a000b1b083633c980c, based on canonical main commit c3e5b6ad2fc99d46d99cdae5afdf46c7d009669c.

• Reason: v0.0.116 changes the release pin layout, including MUSL standalone-sandbox artifacts and manifest pins. The trust record must land before a successor candidate can select v0.0.116, so that candidate cannot authorize its own asset layout or digests.
• Placement: scripts/checks/extract-installer-pins.mts owns the base-trusted release identity and layout. Focused tests under test/install/ own the exact-set, manifest-digest, and GNU/MUSL cross-wire protections.
• Accountable maintainer: Prekshi Vyas (@prekshivyas).
• Validation plan: independently hash the three published manifests and formula; run fail-closed parser/integration tests, repository validation, exact-head CI, and reviewer scrutiny. Runtime, protocol, network, lifecycle, security, and credential behavior across v0.0.106..v0.0.116 must be qualified separately before any active selector changes.

This decision does not approve a v0.0.116 runtime cutover or claim that #6256 is unblocked. Active selectors and credential consumers remain on v0.0.106, and the unconsumed v0.0.116 credential manifest was removed from this candidate.

The parser changed here is part of the validation surface, so local npm run validate:pr is supporting evidence rather than independent trust evidence. I authorize publication of this exact staged candidate while requiring exact-head CI and review to be clear before approval.

Maintainer CI disposition for exact head 71a7ca4050c952b6a3e530a000b1b083633c980c

Accepted non-success: cli-test-shards (6) timed out after 5 seconds in src/lib/onboard/setup-nim-flow-managed-llama-cpp-profile.test.ts:177 while reporting Provisioning. The downstream cli-tests and checks failures contain no independent failure.

Classification: inherited hosted-runner/shard contention, tracked by #6237.

Evidence:

• The failing test and its production dependencies are unchanged by this PR; none imports the changed OpenShell release fixture.
• The test completed successfully in 13 ms when run alone on this exact commit.
• The other 11 coverage shards completed successfully.
• The failure has the documented perf(ci): eliminate source-loader contention and hook timeouts in CLI coverage shards #6237 characteristic: an unrelated test moves into a coverage shard and crosses a short timeout under contention.

Decision: accept this one non-success for this exact SHA and do not rerun unchanged CI. The checked-in policy permits reruns only for an established transient retry signature; #6237 explicitly rejects blind reruns and blanket timeout increases. This disposition is void if the PR head changes.

GitHub couldn't provide a complete incremental comparison for this pull request, so CodeRabbit is performing a full review instead. This review may take a little longer.

[cjagwani]

Request changes before approval.

• [P2] This commit is based on c3e5b6a, while main is now afb2342, and the required E2E / PR Gate is absent. The deterministic merge gate cannot clear this revision. Please refresh from main so the resulting commit receives a fresh required gate.

The staged v0.0.116 trust record itself is sound: the four published trust anchors match, the upstream release producer succeeded, 102 focused tests passed, all nine Advisor reports and CodeRabbit have no remaining material finding, and all 19 commits are GitHub-verified. The unrelated CLI shard timeout matches #6237 and does not indicate a contributor defect.

Maintainer validation-surface authorization for the unpublished refresh candidate 8d1a7e8a8cc78a45b8e03086794c97949ae47dc6, based on canonical main 66c5fdfe98cbb783bd80938adf209e34ad5e8bdc: the merge is required by @cjagwani’s requested-changes review so E2E / PR Gate is selected. The four feature files are byte-for-byte unchanged from reviewed head 71a7ca4050c952b6a3e530a000b1b083633c980c; there were no merge conflicts or resolutions. I authorize credential-isolated supporting execution of npm run validate:pr and a guarded non-force push only if the remote head is still 71a7ca4050c952b6a3e530a000b1b083633c980c. Because the PR changes the installer-hash parser validation surface, this local run is supporting evidence only; base-trusted exact-head CI, including E2E / PR Gate, and renewed review remain required.
