Outcome

Existing Hermes Portable installs can cross the one reviewed metadata-only manifest transition, complete stop/start recovery safely, and recognize OpenShell 0.0.106 direct-service forwards without weakening listener ownership checks.

Unknown manifest transitions, startup-contract drift, foreign listeners, and unproved rollback settlement still fail closed.

Reason

The additive skills metadata update changed the receipt digest without changing the effective startup contract. That left otherwise valid Portable installs unable to start, stop, rebuild, or upgrade.

After that transition was accepted, a real GFN probe exposed a second compatibility boundary: OpenShell 0.0.106 direct forward service processes can own and serve the required ports while openshell forward list reports exactly No active forwards.. The Hermes-specific recovery path treated that valid response as malformed and then treated every reachable-but-unlisted port as foreign, even when the existing exact process-owner verifier proved it belonged to the expected OpenShell command.

Fixes #11248

Changes

  • Allow only the exact reviewed historical-to-current Hermes manifest transition, and only when every startup-contract field remains deeply equal.
  • Keep unknown digest pairs, reverse transitions, identity changes, and security-relevant drift rejected.
  • Require both the exact Podman container to exit and OpenShell to reach Error or Stopped during direct stop and failed-start rollback.
  • Preserve primary and rollback causes in a structured AggregateError while exposing only bounded, non-sensitive failure classes in CLI output.
  • Parse exactly No active forwards. as a valid empty legacy forward list whether OpenShell 0.0.106 returns it through the combined output or as the sole non-empty stdout/stderr stream; conflicting populated streams fail closed.
  • For reachable but unlisted required ports, reuse isForwardServiceListenerOwner() with the receipt-qualified OpenShell executable, gateway, workspace, sandbox, loopback bind, and exact local/target port. Exact ownership is healthy; anything unproved remains occupied with no mutation.
  • Launch genuinely missing forwards through the existing direct forward service path and settle on both reachability and exact ownership.
  • If a direct forward misses its bind deadline, terminate the exact detached process tree, prove that no runnable POSIX process-group member or Windows task tree remains, and confirm the listener is absent before reporting the ordinary startup timeout. Unproved cleanup is classified as restoration-unproved.
  • After stopping a stale legacy forward, wait for its listener to become unreachable before launching the direct-service replacement; timeout or authority drift still fails closed.
  • Make sandbox start run the existing probe-only gateway/forward repair after Hermes Portable lifecycle recovery, so stop → start restores both documented host forwards before reporting success.
  • Requalify Hermes Portable startup authority at the Docker provider's public start boundary before lifecycle recovery; failure still stops before any legacy Docker fallback.
  • Add a trusted rootless acceptance path that publishes the approved historical receipt, upgrades it through public startSandbox, proves exact Podman and OpenShell stop settlement before a second public start, verifies both direct forwards plus authenticated health before success, and then proves a second real exact stop settlement. Keep destructive failure injection out of the live sandbox; one focused lifecycle execution instead proves the combined startup-launch primary and openshell-terminal-settlement rollback classifications.
  • Run that acceptance path with the pinned OpenShell 0.0.106 supervisor image and preserve each caller's bounded OpenShell command budget, including the 240-second sandbox-create allowance.
  • Give the Hermes acceptance path a dedicated rootless policy that keeps /opt/hermes read-only and resolves the image-defined sandbox:sandbox account instead of assuming the legacy fixture's numeric 1000:1000 identity. Before use, copy those exact reviewed bytes into the disposable private E2E home as a current-user-owned, single-link 0600 file; use that same qualified path for both OpenShell creation and receipt publication. The shared legacy CPU fixture remains unchanged. Cleanup then requires successful sandbox deletion and bounded confirmation that the exact named sandbox is absent.
  • Drive real Hermes creation through the production create-stream handoff: require startup output plus the exact sandbox Ready phase, terminate only the bounded OpenShell client stream, and wait for that client to settle before publishing lifecycle authority.
  • Preserve a primary acceptance-path failure when exact sandbox cleanup also fails by reporting both causes together; sandbox deletion uses the production 60-second heavy-operation budget and exact-name absence remains mandatory.
  • Carry the operation-scoped lifecycle environment into schema-8 operating-authority qualification. This preserves the production ban on ambient Podman connection selectors while preventing an intentionally sanitized public start from falling back to unrelated process.env selectors.
  • Record authenticated health at its authoritative public-start boundary: Hermes Portable recovery cannot return hermesPortableVerified until authenticated health and final authority qualification pass. The subsequent gateway callback remains responsible for exact forward ownership and reachability; it does not launch a redundant post-recovery OpenShell exec that can hang independently.
  • Publish exact-revision lifecycle evidence as hermes-portable-lifecycle-receipt.json from the rootless job.
  • Select the trusted rootless workflow when any production path that can change Portable start, recovery, forwarding, or Docker-provider dispatch changes; keep that path list exact in a repository test.
  • Keep generic Portable rebuild/upgrade support, arbitrary schema migration, credential migration, and unrelated service failures out of scope.

Verification

Current candidate:

  • Base: a4e0605f64713e1056b934b47b13a87cc6a49c99
  • Exact head: 5b136e9f5a57a930a52adc4a2150359287bb9f4b
  • npm run typecheck — passed.
  • npm run build:cli and npm run typecheck:cli — passed.
  • Six focused CLI files — 161 tests passed, covering contract, lifecycle, recovery-error reporting, observation, exact direct-forward ownership, and Hermes Portable forward recovery.
  • Current review-focused CLI rerun — 133 tests passed, including public-start requalification, Portable start repair, contradictory raw-stream refusal, structured combined-failure evidence, and elapsed-time settlement.
  • Rootless workflow support suite — 4 tests passed.
  • The live E2E assertion ratchet passed and the total direct assertion surface decreased by two points.
  • npm run test:e2e-phases:check — passed for 134 tests across 88 files.
  • Growth guardrails — 45 tests passed.
  • Latest timeout-settlement repair — 91 focused forward/recovery tests passed; the focused plus growth-guardrail batch passed 136/136.
  • The real delayed-bind process-tree regression passed three concurrent repetitions. Its release handshake starts the descendant's bind timer only after the launcher deadline exists, then proves no runnable group member remains before the timeout is returned and no listener appears afterward.
  • npm run lint, npm run typecheck:cli, npm run checks:repository, and npm run test:e2e-phases:check all passed after the repair; the full pre-commit and pre-push hooks also passed.
  • Latest acceptance-evidence adjustment — 133 focused tests passed (Hermes lifecycle, rootless workflow support, growth guardrails, public start, and Docker provider), plus npm run typecheck:cli.
  • Latest Windows cleanup hardening — 142 focused forward/recovery and growth-guardrail tests passed. The resolution regression poisons PATH while proving that only the absolute %SystemRoot%\\System32\\taskkill.exe is selected; invalid system roots and missing or untrusted executables fail closed. A separate real-filesystem regression exercises the default verifier and proves that a canonical regular file is accepted while a symlink and missing file are rejected. npm run lint, npm run typecheck:cli, npm run checks:repository, and npm run test:e2e-phases:check passed, as did every enforced commit and push hook.
  • npx commitlint --from upstream/main --to HEAD — passed.
  • The complete pre-push hook against current upstream main, including CLI TypeScript, passed during the upstream push.
  • The rootless workflow copies the already checksum-verified OpenShell binaries to the root-owned, non-symlinked 0:0:755 system path before the production authority capture.
  • Exact-head trusted rootless E2E passed at 5b136e9f5a57a930a52adc4a2150359287bb9f4b, proving the reviewed transition, timeout-cleanup change, expanded workflow selector, observable process-outcome regression, trusted absolute Windows task-kill selection, and its default-verifier coverage after the hard-needed current-main merge. Its artifact records transition acceptance through public start, authenticated health, exact forward restoration, and two exact settlements with the receipt-owned container exited and OpenShell terminal. Earlier heads established why mutating the live sandbox into a synthetic refusal conflated platform cleanup with a deterministic failure-class test. The evidence remains split cleanly: the live job proves two real exact stop settlements around authenticated public recovery and forward repair, while the focused lifecycle execution proves the structured combined primary/rollback failure classes using elapsed-time settlement.
  • Exact-head CLI CI passed all 12 test shards plus build, static, packaging, audit, installer, and plugin gates; the aggregate workflow passed with no failure.
  • Exact-head self-hosted PR qualification passed all selected image, security, port-override, and non-root smoke jobs.
  • Exact-head managed-image qualification passed the reviewed audit and permission checks, amd64/arm64 candidate builds, direct Hermes/Deep Agents/OpenClaw startup, exact image publication, all-agent runtime activation, and both OpenClaw MCP discovery repetitions.
  • Exact-head Code Quality and Security scanning passed. The previous head's Python Code Quality job failed before checkout after three github.com:443 connection attempts; the fresh exact-head scan cleared that unrelated infrastructure failure without a product-code workaround.
  • Reviewed the comparison diff for secrets, API keys, credentials, and GFN identifiers; none are present.

Prior exact-head evidence:

  • E2E / Portable Profile on Rootless Linux / rootless-linux — passed for eb295b9a830da45b7a6c93b7bd2768b52771f8e6 before the direct-forward compatibility change.
  • PR build and direct managed startup (Hermes) — passed for the same prior head.
  • A real GFN probe of that prior head accepted the historical receipt and passed lifecycle validation (containerAction=reused, result=already-running), then failed at forward validation because OpenShell 0.0.106 reported no listed forwards while both exact direct-service owners were listening. The direct-forward implementation addresses that precise failure.
  • A follow-up GFN probe of e96b0a41b1ba3fd7fc075bc9ea780a41e83c7946 confirmed the parser accepted the empty-list text but exposed that OpenShell returned it only in stderr (status=0, empty combined output/stdout). The current head selects the combined output when populated, otherwise accepts exactly one populated stdout/stderr stream, and rejects dual populated streams as ambiguous. No disruptive cycles were run after that failed probe.
  • The exact head 676221b918892e8fb1d39a8643d2e3a1c7e56641 then completed three real GFN stop → start → probe cycles with result=ready: both ports were reachable, both listener owners matched the exact OpenShell direct-service commands, and no duplicate forward processes appeared.
  • That successful run also exposed the remaining documented-contract gap: start alone left both forwards absent and probe repaired them. The current head closes that gap by making Hermes Portable start complete the same safe probe-only forward recovery before success.
  • CLI shard 3 for 676221b918892e8fb1d39a8643d2e3a1c7e56641 failed before tests on npm ECONNRESET; the fresh current-head CI matrix is the rerun. No product-code change was made for that infrastructure failure.

Review notes

Charan's exact-head requested-changes review identified that the Windows timeout-cleanup branch invoked taskkill.exe through ambient executable search. The current head constructs the absolute System32 path only from a validated drive-rooted %SystemRoot%, rejects relative, UNC, traversing, missing, symlinked, or real-path-mismatched candidates, and never invokes the injected task-kill runner unless that trusted executable is proved. A poisoned-search-path regression covers the requested boundary.

Charan's latest requested-changes review identified a detached direct-forward process that could survive a bind timeout. The current head terminates the exact POSIX group or Windows task tree, proves bounded OS-level settlement and listener absence, retains the direct child so Node reaps it when the synchronous stack unwinds, and fails closed as restoration-unproved if cleanup cannot be proved. The deterministic regression covers a descendant whose delayed listener would otherwise bind after the timeout.

San's requested-changes review identified three blockers on 676221b918892e8fb1d39a8643d2e3a1c7e56641: wait for a stopped legacy listener to release, replace the fake supervisor fixture, and honor E2E command timeouts. The current head addresses all three with bounded, fail-closed settlement and regression coverage.

CodeRabbit's review of the Windows hardening completed on 4967cda82bad670e150df3a27b157ed0ed5e0875 with one test-only nitpick: exercise the default filesystem verifier rather than only injecting the trust result. The current head adds the requested real-file, symlink, and missing-file coverage, and CodeRabbit's exact-head review completed successfully on 5b136e9f5a57a930a52adc4a2150359287bb9f4b with no new finding. Its earlier nitpick was addressed by removing the duplicated test-side /bin/ps predicate and retaining observable leader, descendant, and delayed-listener outcomes. Earlier findings remain addressed: the first stop proves exact terminal settlement, upgrade and stop/start recovery run through public startSandbox, cleanup requires exact-name absence, transient terminal reads retry within bounds, caller timeouts are honored, and replacement never launches while an old listener remains reachable.

This branch includes the hard-needed main merge through a4e0605f64713e1056b934b47b13a87cc6a49c99, including the separately merged OpenShell 0.0.116 trust-transition work. It has not absorbed later unrelated main movement because no new dependency or conflict requires it. This PR does not alter installer trust roots, trust-transition policy, reviewed package metadata, lockfiles, or supervisor templates. Its direct-forward check consumes the already-qualified OpenShell executable authority from the receipt/current runtime and narrows acceptance to an exact process-owner match, so it neither bypasses nor competes with that trust boundary.

The branch also includes the separately merged OpenShell-Ready-before-Podman-discovery fix from #11236. Neither that fix nor the trust-transition change is part of this PR's comparison diff.

PR Review Advisor run 34349761536 identified the same timeout-cleanup issue plus the trusted-rootless workflow selection gap. Both are addressed on the current head. Earlier Advisor infrastructure failures, including artifact-download ECONNRESET, remain classified as infrastructure and are not used to waive review or CI.

The accepted single-PR scope and exact-transition policy are recorded in #11248 (comment).

Blocking finding:

  • [P2] Complete the accepted real Portable lifecycle evidence. The exact-head rootless workflow is green, but this PR only adds the changed source files to its path selector; the selected live test never executes the changed contract or lifecycle paths. That leaves #11248’s reproduced old-receipt transition, delayed OpenShell/Podman settlement, and intermittent failed-start rollback behavior proven only with mocked unit tests. Extend the trusted rootless live owner to start from the approved prior receipt/manifest, update and requalify it, run stop → immediate start → probe, assert the exact container exit plus OpenShell terminal phase, and inject a post-start refusal that proves both primary and rollback-settlement classifications. Publish exact-revision artifact evidence from that path.

Reviewed commit eb295b9. Code and security review are clear. Focused verification: CLI build passed; affected CLI suites passed 79/79; workflow-contract tests passed 4/4; rootless E2E, required CI, CodeQL, CodeRabbit, DCO, and commit verification are green. Eight Advisor artifacts were reviewed; Reduction failed before analysis on an infrastructure-only artifact-download ECONNRESET and did not change this independently validated conclusion.

@coderabbitai review

Please review the current exact head 55e740906f8de88b57db4d0b63492aa7e6056e6e. The previous exact-head review was canceled when this hard-needed upstream-main merge changed the SHA.

Use observable process outcomes instead of copying the production predicate.

Because importing processGroupHasRunnableMember would make this integration test use the implementation under test as its oracle, remove the copied /bin/ps parser. Rely on the existing leader, descendant, and listener assertions instead.

Please review exact head 14a5c1ab48f075dd0686648fda499d74f0a60cb0; this is the test-only cleanup for the prior CodeRabbit nitpick.

One new material Windows security finding is attached inline. This does not repeat the frozen Portable lifecycle evidence request or the resolved POSIX timeout-tree cleanup.

Reviewed commit 14a5c1a. Focused verification: forward-service suite 19/19 passed; the exact delta is test-only and leaves the Windows production path unchanged.

Exercise the default taskkill trust verifier.

Every Windows test injects isTrustedTaskkillExecutable, so none executes lstatSync, symlink rejection, or normalized realpathSync.native validation. resolveTrustedTaskkillExecutable reads only SystemRoot; PATH and PWD are inert. Export the verifier and test a real temporary file and symlink or real-path mismatch. Rename the current case to describe its SystemRoot-based resolution coverage.

Addressed the test-coverage nitpick from CodeRabbit review 5155955866 in 5b136e9f5a57a930a52adc4a2150359287bb9f4b: the default filesystem trust verifier is now exercised with a canonical real file, a symlink, and a missing path. The SystemRoot-resolution test was renamed to describe what it proves, and its poisoned PATH assertion remains. Validation: 142 focused/guardrail tests, lint/repository checks, CLI typecheck, semantic E2E phase coverage, and enforced commit/push hooks all passed.

Approved commit 5b136e9f5a57a930a52adc4a2150359287bb9f4b. The prior Portable lifecycle, timeout process-tree cleanup, and trusted Windows taskkill-path blockers are resolved. rootless Portable E2E, self-hosted qualification, managed-image validation, all CLI shards, CodeQL, CodeRabbit, DCO, installer-hash, and commit-verification gates are green. Focused forward-service verification passed 25/25. The live ruleset is non-strict, so base movement is not an approval blocker.
