test(e2e): resolve managed image receipt for custom route

[rsliter]

Outcome

The main E2E provider-switch setup now resolves its custom OpenClaw base image from the workflow's validated managed-image cohort receipt when no candidate catalog is present. Sandbox creation can therefore reach the provider-switch behavior, while candidate-catalog runs retain their existing exact-image selection.

Reason

PR #12421 changed the custom-image setup to unconditionally dereference the optional candidate catalog. Main E2E runs intentionally provide a cohort revision and receipt instead, so setup failed before sandbox creation or provider switching.

Changes

• Add one E2E fixture resolver for the already-supported candidate-catalog and main-receipt authorities. The custom OpenClaw Dockerfile consumes this resolver because a null check alone cannot recover the exact main-run image digest. Focused e2e-support tests protect both authorities, supported architecture selection, and fail-closed cases.
• Register temporary-home and provider cleanup before resolving or writing the custom Dockerfile.
• Replace self-comparing OpenClaw configuration assertions with deterministic initial-state and switched-state checks.

Verification

• npx --no-install vitest run --project e2e-support test/e2e/support/managed-image-receipt.test.ts: 26 tests passed after synchronization with current main.
• npx --no-install vitest run --project integration test/automation/e2e/e2e-mock-parity.test.ts: 54 tests passed.
• npx tsx scripts/checks/e2e-mock-parity.mts --base refs/remotes/origin/main --head HEAD: passed after mapping the shared receipt fixture and its fast test to the live target.
• npm run e2e:assertions:check: passed with 1,275 direct assertions across 77 live E2E files.
• npm run test:projects:check: passed for 2,701 candidate files across 7 projects.
• Pre-commit hooks: formatting, lint, repository checks, secret scan, E2E phase plans, source-shape budget, and growth guardrails passed.
• Pre-push hooks: publication validation and CLI TypeScript checks passed.
• npm run test:changed: candidate-owned tests passed; the broader E2E-support run encountered an unchanged nested-process timeout that was reproduced from canonical main in an isolated worktree.
• PR Review Advisor run 36765456500: all nine specialists passed for commit 1ad57b7, each findings artifact was clear, and the blocker gate passed.
• The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • End-to-end checks now select the managed image for the specified platform using receipt or catalog information, and verify the image and its source details.
  • OpenClaw inference checks require a positive token limit after switching configurations and confirm token limits are absent in the initial configuration.
  • Unsupported architectures and incomplete or invalid image receipts are rejected.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for image selection from receipts and catalogs, supported and unsupported architectures, and invalid or incomplete receipts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The E2E fixture resolves managed-image references from a candidate catalog or cohort receipt for a selected platform. The OpenClaw inference-switch test uses the resolved image and checks initial and switched model configuration. Fast tests cover selection paths and parity metadata includes the fixture and tests.

Changes

Managed-image E2E selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve managed-image authority test/e2e/fixtures/managed-image-receipt.ts	The fixture resolves image authority by platform from a candidate contract or cohort receipt. The exported helper maps an architecture to a platform and returns the selected reference. Workload checks use the resolved authority.
Use selected image and assert model configuration test/e2e/live/openclaw-inference-switch.test.ts	The test uses the selected OpenClaw image. Configuration checks require a positive numeric maxTokens after switching and require contextWindow and maxTokens to be absent initially. Dockerfile creation follows cleanup-handler registration.
Test selection paths and register parity test/e2e/support/managed-image-receipt.test.ts, test/e2e/mock-parity.json	Fast tests cover receipt and candidate selection, ARM64 selection, incomplete cohort receipts, malformed digests, and unsupported architectures. Parity metadata adds the fixture and its test.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: ericksoa, prekshivyas

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1ad57

Malformed selected image references are rejected before Dockerfile creation, and cleanup remains registered if resolution fails. The change is mergeable subject to normal checks.

Reviewed commit 8a7bc8967316c84c3d55472488bbf69c8783c9f1. No code defect found. The resolver handles the main cohort receipt and candidate catalog, rejects malformed digests, and registers cleanup before custom-image setup. The earlier CodeRabbit digest finding is fixed.

Validation: 25 receipt tests and 54 mock-parity tests passed locally. I also exercised the new resolver with the file-backed candidate catalog; all 25 receipt tests passed with that local test variation. Retaining that direct case is a useful coverage improvement, but I could not reproduce the latest verification specialist’s alleged functional risk. The older target-selection finding is not a blocker: the full workflow planner selects openclaw-inference-switch when only managed-image-receipt.ts changes.

Approval is pending completion of automated review. In Advisor run 36617886013, Delivery and workflow causality failed with “omitted required analysis”; its findings artifact is missing. The PR’s published Advisor link still points to the older commit. Please choose whether to rerun the Advisor workflow for this commit or defer the PR, as the repository follow-up policy requires. This is an incomplete-review result, not a new code defect.

Status for latest PR commit 1ad57b76526d319db29d4d8b59013d1c286b9983:

The code change is otherwise ready:

• Candidate-owned tests, static checks, type checks, package checks, and CodeQL passed in CI run 36716762524.
• All nine Advisor specialists returned clear findings, and the blocker gate passed in Advisor run 36765456500.
• CodeRabbit is complete, with no unresolved review threads.
• The PR is mergeable, and GitHub marks every commit as verified.

The remaining blocker is the reviewed-npm-audit job. It failed on advisories in inherited dependency inputs. Later PR-body-only runs skipped the code jobs and do not replace that audit evidence.

The trusted audit policy repair in #12517 remains open and blocked. This PR must remain draft and WIP until that repair lands.

After the repair lands on main, merge main into this branch. Then run trusted local validation, publish the new candidate, and wait for its code-changing CI and automated reviews before marking the PR ready.

[deepujain]

Reviewed 30cb28a. No new blocking defect found. The resolver preserves receipt and candidate-catalog authorities, rejects malformed digests and unsupported architectures, and registers cleanup before custom Dockerfile construction. The earlier digest finding is fixed; the previously incomplete Advisor review is superseded by nine clear current specialist reviews and a passing aggregate.

Validation: npm dependency installation passed; managed-image-receipt tests passed 26/26; e2e-mock-parity tests passed 54/54; parity mapping passed; assertion ratchet passed with 1,275 assertions across 77 files; project membership passed for 2,701 files across seven projects; semantic phase validation passed 101 tests across 78 files, including prerequisite generation/build; diff whitespace check passed. Trusted review gate returned allPass=true: 56 current checks green, all 10 commits verified, DCO present and no unresolved major/critical CodeRabbit findings. Final commit and branch-rule refresh were unchanged.

All nine security categories passed within the inspected scope: credentials, input validation, authorization, dependencies, error handling, cryptography, configuration, security testing and system security.

Limitations: Advisor recommends openclaw-inference-switch live validation; no current candidate run was found. Passing self-hosted image/GPU qualification does not prove that scenario. No live run was dispatched. Full contributor setup, CLI/plugin builds, validate:pr and broad test:changed were not run; the shared setup path encountered the installed npm cache-query incompatibility. Local tests do not establish live image-build or inference success.
