Outcome

Legacy OpenClaw upgrades now preserve the prepared rebuild context in its intended create-call position instead of treating it as a DCode context. The supported Shields-era migration selects the exact candidate managed image while retaining the released workload receipt as previous authority.

Reason

Four legacy upgrade targets failed after destructive preparation because an omitted optional callback shifted the prepared context into the wrong positional argument. The v0.0.115 Shields migration also rejected the intentional transition from its released receipt revision to the exact candidate revision.

Fixes #10964

Fixes #10970

Refs #10722

Changes

  • Preserve the optional verified-create callback slot at the onboarding machine boundary and update its direct call-shape tests.
  • Use the exact GitHub Actions qualification revision for the replacement workload while keeping the old receipt in the rebuild handoff.
  • Remove the unrelated Hermes, messaging, cron, WeChat, redaction, recovery, npm-remediation, and Pi changes from this PR.

Verification

  • npx vitest run --project cli <nine affected handler and rebuild test files> — 174/174 tests passed.
  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/onboard/prepared-dcode-rebuild.test.ts — 17/17 tests passed.
  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/onboard/sandbox-workload-rebuild.test.ts — 25/25 tests passed after the final test correction.
  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/onboard/machine/handlers/sandbox-dcode-selection.test.ts src/lib/onboard/sandbox-workload-rebuild.test.ts — 39/39 tests passed after the final review wording corrections.
  • npm run typecheck:cli — passed.
  • npm run docs — passed with 0 errors and 5 existing Fern warnings; documentation review found no public documentation change required.
  • Normal pre-commit and commit-msg hooks — passed, including repository checks, ShellCheck, Hadolint, gitleaks, E2E phase plans, and commitlint.
  • The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Review notes

This reduces the PR from 48 files and 941 changed lines to 12 files and 129 changed lines. The previous Hermes, WeChat, redaction, selected-runtime recovery, npm-remediation, and Pi findings no longer apply because those changes are absent from the final diff.

One local prepared-context integration fixture stopped before the changed code because this host reported a packaged-service gateway while the fixture recorded standalone; the direct prepared-context unit boundary passed. Exact-head live E2E remains the authoritative lifecycle evidence.

The migration remains fail-closed outside GitHub Actions. During qualification, the old receipt remains immutable previous authority and only the exact candidate revision selects the replacement image.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Hermes validation now supports managed identities and canonical sandbox runtime values. Sandbox creation passes a direct optional callback, with tests updated for the revised argument layout. Workload rebuilds accept live qualification revisions. The pull-request workflow runs matrix-based E2E tests directly.

Changes

Hermes runtime validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hermes validator target selection
agents/hermes/validate-env-secret-boundary.py, agents/hermes/Dockerfile
The validator selects gateway or sandbox lazy-install targets by managed identity. The Dockerfile updates the validator integrity hash.
Managed gateway Hermes preflight
scripts/managed-gateway-control.py, test/inference/managed/managed-gateway-control*.test.py
Preflight overlays canonical sandbox values and validates with identity sandbox. Tests record and verify managed runtime details.

Sandbox creation argument contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sandbox callback argument
src/lib/onboard/machine/handlers/sandbox.ts
createSandbox receives the verified credential-provider callback directly, or undefined.
Sandbox call-shape validation
src/lib/onboard/machine/handlers/sandbox*.test.ts
Tests read creation intent from the penultimate argument and verify the trailing undefined across creation and recreation cases.

Pi qualification and workload rebuild

Layer / File(s) Summary
Live qualification revision rebuild
src/lib/onboard/workload/rebuild.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-workload-rebuild.test.ts, test/e2e/live/pi-agent-qualification.test.ts
Rebuild preparation uses the live qualification revision when present. Tests cover newer replacement revisions and clear managed catalog overrides.

Messaging-provider environment boundary

Layer / File(s) Summary
Telegram placeholder validation
test/e2e/live/messaging-providers.test.ts
The test requires accepted Telegram placeholders and confirms that GITHUB_TOKEN is absent.

Simple E2E workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
E2E matrix definition
.github/workflows/e2e-simple.yaml
The workflow defines pinned images, upgrade bases, setup flags, environment settings, runners, timeouts, and regression selectors.
Matrix environment setup
.github/workflows/e2e-simple.yaml
Each matrix case checks out the pull-request commit, prepares the environment, pulls selected images, and conditionally configures swap, OpenShell, cloudflared, and MCP TLS.
Direct E2E execution
.github/workflows/e2e-simple.yaml
The workflow exports matrix settings and invokes Vitest directly with an optional selector.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a30c8

The functional fixes may be correct, but the revised regression workflow can skip relevant PRs and its ARM64 upgrade case can fail before exercising the migration. Resolve these qualification gaps before merge unless they are explicitly accepted.

Full-main E2E triage context

This PR maps to three deterministic root causes from full-main run 33730208977, with the same signatures reproduced in later main run 33761515943:

  • #10963 — Hermes managed-restart environment validation: 4 failed targets
  • #10964 — prepared rebuild argument/target shift: 4 failed legacy-upgrade targets
  • #10970 — retired-Shields managed-image receipt migration: 1 failed target

Expected impact: 3 of 17 epic children and 9 of 20 deterministic failed jobs tracked by Epic #10979.

The issues and PR currently use Refs rather than auto-closing Fixes. Before converting them, please capture PR-head evidence for:

  1. MCP bridge (Hermes), Hermes E2E, Security: Hermes, and Hermes channel stop/start.
  2. Upgrades from v0.0.55 x86-64, v0.0.55 ARM64, v0.0.74 x86-64, and v0.0.89 x86-64.
  3. The v0.0.115 Shields-to-candidate migration.

After those targeted checks pass, the remaining release gate is a current full-main run; selective green push runs do not replace full-matrix qualification.

Request changes on c00cec93bd7f.

The approval condition is not met. The base advanced to d99d1dc579b2, but that update does not overlap these failing owners, and GitHub reports no merge conflict.

  1. [P1] Repair the candidate-owned test failures. The focused base run passed, while this revision fails CLI shards 2, 5, 8, and 9 plus aggregate checks. The failures include the new gateway-target.ts dependency breaking complete core/wait mocks, Dockerfile changes breaking the reviewed remote-dashboard and fast-uri installation contracts, and stale Hermes provisioning expectations. Repair these owners and rerun the affected suites.

  2. [P1] Bound the redaction sink. The new sink retains all newline-free output. A long stream can suppress live E2E diagnostics and exhaust the test process. Add a retention limit, emit a redacted truncation record, discard data until the next newline, and test an oversized newline-free stream.

  3. [P1] Exercise the selected-runtime restart caller. The new test proves only the predicate. Add a restartSandboxGateway test for the valid default selected runtime and assert that the managed supervisor receives the restart.

CodeRabbit findings for the removed duplicate E2E workflow and the GITHUB_TOKEN probe are resolved. Two existing empty-except scanning threads remain open; I am not duplicating them here.

@ericksoa, update after your latest main merge (76029edd): the branch now contains merged #11071, so the remaining blocker is reduction, not synchronization.

The exact-candidate run gives this ownership:

#10681 reproduced separately in the exact run. The current selected-runtime recovery diff is not enough to claim it without a direct GATEWAY_UNSAFE_CONFIG_PATH reproduction test.

After reduction, the required evidence is the four legacy-upgrade targets, the v0.0.115 Shields migration, normal PR validation, and both Pi architectures if #11083 remains here.
