📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughHermes startup now uses isolated Python and descriptor-safe repairs for state directories, logs, and history. It rejects unsafe layouts, reports recovery guidance, and quarantines relaunches after refusal. Images, policy patches, diagnostics, tests, and E2E fixtures enforce the updated contracts. ChangesHermes startup integrity and recovery
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Hermes may repeatedly relaunch after rejecting an unsafe filesystem layout instead of quarantining recovery, and the oversized-log refusal contract is not fully protected.

In `@agents/hermes/Dockerfile`:
- Around line 1644-1648: Update the final Hermes metadata checks around
check_metadata so they honor NEMOCLAW_DARWIN_VM_COMPAT=1: require
/sandbox/.hermes and its sessions, cron, and logs subdirectories to use the
Darwin-mode 3777/2777 permissions, while preserving the existing 3770/2770
checks for non-Darwin builds. Keep the hermes-cli-adapter-v1.json check
unchanged.
In `@agents/hermes/start.sh`:
- Line 1245: Update repair_directory to track traversal depth, enforce an
explicit maximum before recursing into child directories, and invoke fail() when
the limit is exceeded. Ensure excessive nesting is handled within the existing
diagnostic path rather than propagating RecursionError, while preserving normal
repair behavior below the limit.
- Around line 1160-1161: Update repair_managed_directory() and repair_file() so
os.fchmod() handles PermissionError in non-root mode only after exact mode and
the permitted ownership contract have been validated; otherwise invoke fail()
with the stable “[SECURITY] Refusing Hermes log repair because ...” diagnostic
instead of allowing a traceback. Preserve the existing root behavior and apply
the same handling consistently in both repair functions.
In `@test/agents/hermes/hermes-start.test.ts`:
- Around line 1428-1430: Update the data table for the live gateway process test
in it.each so each case is a single-element tuple: use one tuple containing
undefined and another containing the argv array. Preserve the existing callback
signature and runtime-state assertions while ensuring liveGatewayArgv always
receives the complete argv array.
- Line 97: Update the fixture assertions in the Hermes start test to verify that
the renamed original layout entry exists after each run, in addition to checking
the unchanged external target and nonzero status. Reuse the existing target and
layout-entry symbols around the fixture command rather than adding unrelated
assertions.

Outcome
Restore Hermes gateway readiness when a persisted or migrated
sessionsdirectory is no longer writable by the separated gateway UID. Startup now repairs that directory through the existing descriptor-safe cross-UID boundary before Hermes opens its session store. Root startup also protects the shared Hermes history entry and prevents privileged log repair from escaping the Hermes state root.Reason
The Hermes image smoke on
mainfailed twice while the root entrypoint remained alive and the gateway process was running. Its log reported a read-only SQLite session store and permission denial for/sandbox/.hermes/sessions/sessions.json. Startup repaired the other cross-UID state parents but leftsessionsunchanged.E2E root cause: Hermes root-entrypoint / restored sessions state is not writable by gateway

An intermediate exact-head rootless run exposed that blindly reapplying mode to a gateway-owned history file breaks non-root startup. The final startup logic skips that mutation when mode
0660is already correct, allowing the image to retain the protectedgateway:sandboxowner.Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33632938787 found two additional blockers on
ad27e5774: root log recursion could follow a replaced intermediate link, and log refusal lacked a bounded host diagnostic and recovery event. Exact headbac482862addressed both with descriptor-anchored traversal, an unchanged external-sentinel regression, and the stablelogs directoryevent. Its final Advisor pass asked for nested-link coverage, consolidation into the existing startup harness, qualified documentation, and stable recovery diagnostics for mutable-root history refusal. Headeb51dd22fcompleted those items. Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33639093552 then found that history repair still opened its mutable parent by absolute path and that hard-link tests did not exercise root-only metadata mutation. Exact head67cb064a5anchors history creation and verification to a no-follow config-root descriptor, proves a swapped parent leaves the external directory and sentinel unchanged, and extends the live root-entrypoint contract with history/log hard-link refusal and protected-inode owner, mode, and content checks. It also removes the flagged duplicate fake-proc helper and source-shape fixture test. Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33643012566 then asked for an explicit non-root ownership/group invariant, the correct pre-gateway log location, and a test-title correction. Exact headb3715db4fvalidates current-or-gateway ownership plus the sandbox group when the deployed account pair exists, adds a livesandbox:root 0660refusal case that remains openable by the current user, names/tmp/nemoclaw-start.logandNEMOCLAW_START_LOG=..., and narrows the unit-test title. Its broader request to replace the established extracted-shell behavior harness was not applied: the repository source-shape checker reports zero source-shape cases and the tests execute filesystem/process outcomes rather than assert source text. Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33645958177 then reported only a test-helper ownership blocker and a documentation wording suggestion; all other specialists were clean. Exact headf19fa9a52keeps the three single-suite layout fixtures private to the startup test, splits the independent shields-up runtime-env contract so the startup test remains below 1,500 lines, leaves only a real cross-suite stat shim in shared support, and clarifies the host-control failure wording. Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33649490500 then found that the unlocked dispatcher case did not prove caller-value preservation and that the Hermes harness duplicated the canonical heredoc-aware extractor, shell quoting, and standard lstat behavior. Its Operations specialist initially hit a GHCRtoomanyrequestsimage-pull failure before analysis; the failed-job-only retry completed with no Operations finding. Exact headef2b581b4supplies a non-default unlocked value, re-exports the single canonical extractor, uses the production shell quote helper and direct no-entry lstat API, and verifies the emitted proxy env by sourcing it rather than asserting incidental Bash%qspelling. Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33651758538 then found an inherited environment could re-enable the kanban dispatcher under Shields up, one unreachable locked-root branch, a self-derived MCP digest oracle, and an exact multiline startup-fragment test. Commit5e67b2131forces the dispatcher off for locked config, removes the dead branch, uses a fixed independent digest, and tests a named root-startup boundary through observable gateway state. Merge headf1d561e16then refreshed the branch from upstream main19bb9860a; the 162-test sweep and full PR validation passed again. Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33655425553 then caught that root preparation could normalize the config root before real Shields-up detection, and that the extracted-function dispatcher suite did not prove the entrypoint boundary. Exact headd34af50b7preserves a detected locked root, removes that redundant source-extraction suite, and extends the existing fresh-image root-entrypoint target to inspect the launched gateway process environment: caller value1survives while unlocked and is forced to0while locked. The resulting 159-test sweep, zero source-shape budget, semantic E2E phase plan, and full PR validation passed. Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33657949858 then identified a private read-count oracle in the MCP integrity test and missing special-entry coverage in the privileged log repair. Exact headb9dec567bremoves the private monkeypatch and count assertion while retaining the public current-state and race regressions, and adds a FIFO refusal case proving the special entry remains unchanged. Its broad helper-consolidation suggestion was not applied because the same Advisor run's Design/Architecture and Dependency specialists found that state directories, log trees, and the history entry have distinct ownership contracts and warrant separate repair paths. Its.hermes-datacleanup suggestion concerns pre-existing policy and plugin consumers outside this sessions-permission repair. Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33660170954 then found one remaining privileged pathname race in the older config-root and auxiliary-directory repairs; the other eight specialists were clean. Commit4f3ea22f0opens each mutable layout directory through verified no-follow descriptors, applies ownership and mode only withfchownandfchmod, and rechecks the named inode. Unit coverage swaps both the config root andhooksimmediately before mutation, while the real root-entrypoint target swaps the config root immediately beforefchown; both require startup refusal and prove the external target unchanged. Merge head31cc8636brefreshes the branch from upstream maine01658ed8, with 144/144 changed integration tests and full PR validation green.Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33666166768 found one Operations gap after the descriptor repair: config-root and auxiliary-directory refusals were not yet allowlisted in bounded host diagnostics or documented with stable per-resource recovery events. Exact head
9b78fddd3adds those events, host extraction, recovery documentation, and regression coverage for all four resources. Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33669111411 then completed all nine specialists with no required change. Its Trust specialist initially received an external HTTP 403 before producing output; the bounded failed-job retry, attempt 2, completed cleanly.CI run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33669117601 exposed one stale cross-platform test helper after the descriptor migration: BSD
stat -f %Lpomitted the special bits while GNUstat -c %areported the full3770. Commit949c53f4creads the full mode through isolated Python on both platforms and proves the API-key stage observes3770. The six-file 146-test sweep and full PR validation passed afterward. The same CI run also had an unchanged OpenClaw Discord mock connection refusal; this PR does not alter that test or implementation.Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33671737736 completed all nine specialists. Eight found no required change. Its valid Code Reduction finding identified the repeated mutable-layout failure event and recovery text; commit
de07d16d4centralizes those diagnostics without changing the stable messages. Its Test Design suggestion to split the single Hermes Discord live target was not applied: the repository assigns live execution to the typed target model, explicitly rejectsit(...)unit blocks undertest/e2e/live/**, and this target already publishes eight behavior-specific phases plus its artifact contract. The preceding exact-content Advisor run 33669111411 also found that organization appropriate.Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33674269273 completed all nine specialists on
6a64b145d: eight found no required change, while Test Design identified that the root-entrypoint config-root race wrapper was unreachable because startup resetsPATHbefore repair. Exact head5974090b2places the controlled wrapper at the actualpython3command path selected by startup’s fixed path, preserves the real interpreter beside it, and keeps the full startup-failure, injected-symlink, external-metadata, content, and diagnostic assertions.Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33676299457 completed all nine specialists on exact head
5974090b2with no required change. Test Design specifically confirmed that the root-entrypoint swap case now reaches the deployed boundary and observes both refusal and preservation of the external target.Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33683182932 completed all nine specialists on
e5e154e02. Eight found no required change. Test Design correctly identified two remaining Dockerfile-source assertions for selected Hermes extras and root group membership. Commite154de5ecremoves those extracted-source tests and moves both contracts to the existing real-image root-entrypoint target, which inspects the built image directly.Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33687427299 completed all nine specialists on
4450a478a. Eight found no required change. Test Design identified that the mutable-hash reconciliation test mocked every collaborator and asserted a call trace.

Commitd5a4d9735gives all seven scenarios separate behavior titles and artifact declarations while retaining one shared image build.Advisor run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33692125961 completed all nine specialists on
ccb5a345d. Behavior, Architecture, Dependency, Documentation, Operations, Migration, and Trust found no defect. Test Design identified two remaining source-shape and full-call-trace tests; commitcc1a23aderemoves the Dockerfile-fragment executable checks, verifies the manifest path against the built image, and replaces auxiliary retry traces with outcome and bounded-count assertions. The same commit fixes exact-head CodeQL alert 2975 by opening the hostile history fixture withO_NOFOLLOW, verifying inode identity, and reading through the descriptor. Code Reduction requested one image-internal repair program for all four resource types; that was not applied because the Architecture and Dependency specialists independently confirmed that mutable directories, cross-UID state, recursive logs, and the single-link history file have distinct ownership, recursion, and hard-link contracts, with one existing orchestration and failure-reporting owner.Fresh exact-head evidence:
Exact head
57391f2e6contains upstream maind8e90d5bd. Local exact-head validation passed: 112 focused Hermes and provisioning tests, the separately rerun 59-test Hermes startup and auxiliary sweep, 139 semantic E2E phase contracts across 90 files, zero source-shape cases, 33 growth checks, CLI type-checking, repository checks, andnpm run validate:pr. Two unrelated OpenClaw fixture processes timed out once under local contention; their owning Hermes provisioning describe passed separately, and the same full 112-test set passed immediately beforehand. The linked fresh workflows are now exercising the built Hermes image and restored-session runtime paths.No focused Hermes Discord E2E was dispatched from this repair PR. The prior exact-head CI shard 10 failure was an Azure package-repository 403, and the prior self-hosted
nim_serviceresolver failure occurred in unchanged main-owned policy planning; neither executed this repair.Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas prekshiv@nvidia.com
