Outcome

Repeated onboarding reuses a healthy retained OpenShell gateway registration when its normalized scheme, host, and port match the declared external gateway. Conflicting, malformed, unhealthy, or changed authority fails closed while preserving retained state. Failed rebuilds now direct users back through nemoclaw <sandbox> rebuild --yes, preserving explicit options and resuming the retained backup and rebuild transaction even without MCP servers.

OpenClaw maintenance gates also tolerate a valid atomic marker replacement when a concurrent metadata read observes the unlinked old inode. They recheck the current path before allowing gateway startup.

Reason

Repeated onboarding previously tried to add an existing named registration, which OpenShell rejects. The attachment path must reload lifecycle authority after asynchronous operations before another mutation.

An inherited marker-read race failed CLI shard 12. Linux can return a zero-link metadata snapshot during atomic replacement. Discarding that snapshot avoids rejecting a valid release without relaxing marker validation.

Fixes #12622

Changes

  • Correct the zero-MCP recovery command: generic onboard --resume rejects the DCode approval flag and computes a different recreate target. Use the existing rebuild recovery owner for both MCP and zero-MCP cases; retain transaction identity checks.

  • Reuse only a healthy registration with the declared endpoint; register only when absent.

  • Recheck lifecycle authority before mutation and limit cleanup to registrations created by the current attempt.

  • Verify the reused registration is active and healthy. Preserve existing registrations when verification fails.

  • Extend the preinstalled Launchable journey through retained-registration teardown, fresh onboarding, inference, and final cleanup.

  • Recheck zero-link marker snapshots in both doctor and backup-quiesce polling loops within their existing retry budget. Deterministic tests cover trusted replacements, unsafe permissions, hardlinks, symlinks, and retry exhaustion.

  • Merge current main to use its dependency manifests and publication validation, preserving existing PR ancestry.

Verification

  • Recovery repair a5c74e6c36233edd9652b832bac813aea7210e9b: 232 focused tests passed, including gateway reuse, interrupted rebuild, saved policy/state restoration, and transaction mismatch rejection. All three new printed-command regressions fail against the original implementation. CLI/plugin builds and normal commit hooks passed, including growth checks.

  • The zero-MCP recovery tests now execute the printed command for ordinary recovery and both DCode approval modes. Previous tests only matched the incorrect guidance and covered approval flags with MCP present.

  • Live evidence from inference candidate 4d258c611 exposed the recovery defect; it does not qualify this repaired head. Combined live Brev validation remains pending.

  • Updated-dependency focused run: 133 passed across the doctor-marker, gateway-host-runtime, and gateway-reuse-cli test files.

  • Before the repair, both deterministic trusted-marker replacement cases failed with the same security diagnostic as CI.

  • Linux atomic-replacement experiment: 390 of 100,000 path reads observed zero-link metadata.

  • CLI and plugin builds and type checks passed with an 8 GiB Node heap. The default-heap CLI check exhausted memory before the successful retry.

  • Shell syntax, ShellCheck, shell formatting, Oxlint, Oxfmt, and whitespace checks passed for the repair.

  • Signed merge 5eee3f401a83 and repair fbaf7bd602b3: all normal commit hooks passed. GitHub verifies both commits.

  • Normal pre-push publication validation, JavaScript type check, and CLI type check passed.

  • Previous candidate: fbaf7bd602b35ed56dad3c92e72dc45c5eb436be; its test and review evidence below is historical after the recovery repair.

  • Full candidate diff reviewed; no secrets, API keys, or credentials introduced.

Review notes

The recovery repair has local source review and regression evidence; fresh CI and scheduled reviews for a5c74e6c36233edd9652b832bac813aea7210e9b remain pending. Its transaction guards are unchanged. No fresh human approval or live pass is claimed.

Sensitive paths include src/lib/onboard/** and scripts/nemoclaw-start.sh. The marker repair was reviewed for path validation, release authorization, failure cleanup, and bounded retries. Zero-link snapshots never authorize release; the next iteration validates the current path. Hosted Advisor reviewed prior head fbaf7bd602b35ed56dad3c92e72dc45c5eb436be: all nine specialists completed with clear findings ledgers, including the marker repair. Summaries, ledgers, and E2E recommendations were inspected.

All nine retained Advisor ledgers for prior commit 5cc7339a87cc2b636f5547ea86c1843e1cfe2c74 were clear. Prior CodeRabbit endpoint-identity and final-cleanup-health findings are addressed. Prior-head CI run 37839433148, managed-image run 37839433157, and Advisor run 37841792629 passed. This includes all 12 CLI shards and both Docker and rootless Podman runtime activation. CodeRabbit reports a successful status, but its automatic reviews remain paused and its latest review covers the prior head; no fresh CodeRabbit review is claimed.

The old shard 3 job was cancelled during OS search-tool installation before tests began. Its missing coverage artifact and the aggregate failures do not establish another candidate regression. All 12 shards and aggregate CI passed on prior candidate fbaf7bd602b35ed56dad3c92e72dc45c5eb436be.

The original-head Brev run passed deployment and exact-head checks but failed NVIDIA inference. The maintainer has now requested recommended E2E for this repaired commit. Staging Brev Launchable and the remaining deterministic selectors were dispatched; both initial attempts stopped at the pending managed-image prerequisite before live execution. No live passing result is claimed for this repair.

The local setup doctor passed build, type, signing, and authentication checks but reported the Mac Docker daemon unavailable. The non-live tests and publication validation do not require that daemon.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Onboarding can reuse a healthy existing gateway registration when its endpoint matches, including after a sandbox is removed.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Conflicting, unhealthy, or unverified existing registrations are preserved for inspection rather than replaced or removed.
    • Recovery guidance now consistently recommends rebuilding the sandbox after a replacement-creation failure, including when no MCP entries need restoring.
  • Documentation
    • Gateway lifecycle guidance now explains reuse, endpoint matching, and registration retention during onboarding failures.

Current qualification evidence

Commit: a5c74e6c36233edd9652b832bac813aea7210e9b.

  • Alternative review completed. Full candidate diff and adjacent authority/recovery code reviewed for correctness, security, cleanup ownership, and regression coverage. This is primary-agent source review, not independent review or Advisor clearance. No actionable finding identified.
  • Local Docker Advisor could not prepare its trusted checkout: the existing Lima VM filesystem was 98% full and Git reported No space left on device. No specialist completed. The task controller was removed; no task sandbox or gateway remained.
  • 336 focused tests passed across seven files, covering retained gateway attachment, endpoint observation, rebuild recovery and explicit options, marker replacement, and E2E cleanup helpers. CLI/plugin builds and canonical npm run validate:pr, including CLI type checking, passed. No source change was needed.
  • Required ordinary CI passed. Current-commit hosted Advisor passed: all nine specialist summaries, findings ledgers, and E2E recommendations are clear, and the blocker gate passed. CodeRabbit completed; its trivial public-dispatch coverage suggestion is already covered by test/cli/rebuild-recovery-routing.test.ts:174, which executes the name-first rebuild through the real CLI and compiled worker. That suite passed. No unresolved review threads remain. Prior review evidence above remains historical.
  • Staging Brev Launchable and remaining deterministic E2E attempt 1 failed before live execution because managed images had not completed. The missing matrix and aggregate JSON error are downstream consequences. Managed-image qualification has now passed. Both failed-job reruns were requested as attempt 2 at 00:41 UTC on October 9, preserving candidate, trusted workflow, and selectors. This re-evaluates the changed prerequisite. Attempt 2 is now terminal: seven focused product jobs passed, including protected AMD64/ARM64 startup and GPU/local inference; ten jobs failed with provider HTTP 429 responses before their substantive scenarios. These are not passing qualifications. Brev passed exact-source/boot checks, reused the healthy external gateway, built its sandbox image, and created the sandbox, then failed initial onboarding at the native NVIDIA sandbox invocation probe (exit 56). The retained teardown/reonboard assertions were unreached. Brev workspace deletion and test cleanup are confirmed. The source matches the native curl-policy and credential-placeholder defects addressed by merged main dependencies fix(inference): restore shared native NVIDIA sandbox requests #12826 and fix(dcode): restore native startup and NVIDIA inference on Brev #12793. A clean local base integration is prepared, with 159 focused source tests, five real-CLI recovery-routing tests, and the CLI build passing. It is not committed or published; the full E2E assertion audit remains in progress before publication or another live run.
  • Target label: v0.0.132. The PR was marked ready on October 9 at 01:14 UTC; selected live E2E qualification remains incomplete.

Additional routing checks: 84/85 tests passed. The sole failure was an experimental SQLite warning on local Node v22.22.1 in the unrelated doctor JSON stderr assertion; the unchanged test passed with only that warning class suppressed. Both rebuild routing files passed without suppression. Original failure and diagnostic evidence retained.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Gateway attachment now observes named registrations before modifying them. It reuses matching registrations after health and active-state verification. Failed attempts preserve reused registrations and remove only registrations created during the attempt. The diff also changes marker-gate retries and sandbox rebuild recovery commands.

Changes

Gateway attachment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Endpoint observation and normalization
src/lib/adapters/openshell/gateway-reuse.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/gateway-reuse-cli.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/gateway-reuse-cli.test.ts
Reuse observations now include the named endpoint and active state. The CLI normalizes endpoint values. Tests cover endpoint identity and an inactive named registration when a sibling gateway is active.
Registration reuse and attachment verification
src/lib/onboard/gateway-host-runtime.ts, src/lib/onboard/gateway-host-runtime.test.ts, docs/deployment/gateway-lifecycle-authority.mdx
Attachment observes registrations before acting and registers only when no named registration exists. It verifies endpoint, health, and active selection. Tests cover conflicting, unhealthy, or unobservable registrations, authority changes, and cleanup outcomes. Documentation describes the attachment and cleanup rules.
Retained-gateway lifecycle validation
test/e2e/fixtures/clients/host.ts, test/e2e/live/full-e2e.test.ts, test/e2e/support/e2e-clients.test.ts, test/e2e/README.md, test/e2e/mock-parity.json
The preinstalled Launchable E2E scenario preserves the external gateway during sandbox removal and checks registration identity after fresh onboarding, inference, and final cleanup. Cleanup options and tests support gateway preservation.

Marker gate retries

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry transient unlinked marker observations
scripts/nemoclaw-start.sh, test/agents/openclaw/runtime/nemoclaw-start-post-upgrade-doctor.test.ts
The backup-quiesce and post-upgrade-doctor loops retry when marker metadata reports a link count of zero. Tests cover marker replacements, repeated unlinked observations, timeout failure, and cleanup.

Sandbox rebuild recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Use rebuild for recovery retries
src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-mcp-phase.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-flow-recovery.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-flow-target-image.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-mcp-phase.test.ts
The recovery helper now prints a rebuild --yes command whether or not MCP entries need restoration. Tests cover command options and recovery from a failed replacement attempt.

The printed recovery command still needs a public-dispatch test. This is a bounded coverage gap, not an established failure of rebuild recovery.

@coderabbitai review

Registration observation and registration can await while the declared gateway owner changes.
Three regression cases reproduced registration or selection after that change.

Reload the bound owner immediately before each registration and selection effect.
Preserve registrations when authority changes so cleanup cannot mutate a different owner.

Validation: 74 focused gateway runtime and observer tests pass. CLI type checking passes
with an 8 GiB Node heap. Repaired Advisor finding F-security-built-in-quality-6daa530b0405f96b2753.

Assert gateway health after final cleanup.

The final assertion checks registration metadata, not service health. The observer already computes healthy, but captureGatewayRegistration discards it. If finalDestroy stops the service while preserving the registration, the current assertion can pass. Expose healthy from the capture helper and require it after final cleanup.

Registration metadata can remain after its gateway becomes unavailable. Carry the existing
observer health result into the retained-gateway capture and require it after final cleanup.
This addresses CodeRabbit review 5444316020 without changing lifecycle behavior or retries.

checking pass. The real post-cleanup health observation remains pending trusted Brev E2E.

Advisor found that post-registration authority drift retained a new local
registration without identifying it or explaining recovery. Preserve the
authority guard, report the registration name and inspection action, and
recheck authority before publishing the selected gateway to the client.

The recovery-message regression failed before the repair. A sibling
selection-drift case exposed a missing final authority check and also failed
before that check was added. All 75 runtime and observer tests now pass;
CLI typecheck passes. No changed-owner cleanup or gateway destruction occurs.

76-80: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add public-dispatch coverage for the printed rebuild command.

rebuild-flow-recovery.test.ts parses nemoclaw alpha rebuild --yes but invokes restarted.rebuildSandbox(...) directly. Add a test for the ordinary name-first form through the public dispatcher and assert that it routes to sandbox:rebuild with the printed arguments. The existing help-only and recovery-retirement tests do not cover this path.
