Outcome

Installer recovery attempts an explicitly confirmed legacy OpenClaw sandbox when the gateway reports Ready but its actual agent-version probe fails. Previously, upgrade-sandboxes --auto skipped this sandbox without using its prepared backup.

Reason

A pre-fingerprint entry cannot establish image drift, and a failed probe supplies no version for stale-version classification. The existing selection discarded the installer's managed-image confirmation before backup validation or rebuild.

Related issues

Refs #7475. Prerequisite assertion policy #12833 is merged.

Changes

  • Include explicitly confirmed legacy OpenClaw entries after an actual failed probe in prepared-recovery selection. Keep sandbox-name confirmation, installer restore intent, recorded gateway, valid backup, and custom-image rejection mandatory.
  • Preserve selection behavior for successful or skipped probes, current managed fingerprints, missing expected versions, and other agents. Add no flags or persisted authorization.
  • Document the eligible Ready/failed-probe path in the quickstart, update guide, and command reference.
  • Share one restoration command builder between the existing rebuild live test and its executed-shell regression tests. Keep it in scanned live sources so the assertion census retains every predicate. Remove the AST extraction and command rewriting.
  • Fail restoration immediately on missing or mismatched state and failed commands. Require the exact expected plugin ID with loaded status. Cover invalid reports and incorrect command arguments in the existing support owner.
  • Propagate marker read failures even when the expected marker is empty, and register the shared helper as an owning path for rebuild selection.
  • Apply the exact maintainer-approved budget, preserving the upstream seven-assertion reduction. The exception policy is inherited unchanged from merged ci(e2e): authorize shared restoration budget for PR 12767 #12833.

Verification

  • Recovery owner: 68 tests passed, including production version-command wrapping, parsing, and selection with a disposable local execution adapter. Confirmed probe failure selects rebuild; unconfirmed failure and successful current-version controls do not. The positive regression fails without the selection fix.
  • Restoration, workflow selection, and growth guardrails: 27 plus 138 plus seven tests passed after the latest repair. Both new defect regressions failed before the fixes; positive empty-marker restoration also passes. Shell cases cover restored state, missing or mismatched markers, config/plugin command failures, invalid plugin reports, and five incorrect-argument mutations. Fixture paths include spaces and an apostrophe.
  • Installer severity integration: five tests passed after integration.
  • npm run e2e:assertions:check: passed with 1,234 direct expect calls across 77 test files. All existing unique restoration predicates remain counted.
  • NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run typecheck:cli: passed after canonical dependency synchronization.
  • Documentation build previously passed with zero errors and two warnings; this repair does not change those documentation edits.
  • Signed repair 61361a7ef3716f1ef3a31f65dcc1043911c54cf2 passed normal commit hooks. Normal pre-push publication validation and CLI TypeScript passed; plugin and JS-config checks were legitimately skipped. All eleven published commits are GitHub Verified.
  • The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Review notes

The shared-builder, marker-read, and helper-selection findings are repaired with regression evidence. On current head 61361a7ef3716f1ef3a31f65dcc1043911c54cf2, CI passed, both independent growth checks passed, and CodeRabbit completed review across all 12 files with no actionable findings. Advisor run 37854488215 completed all nine specialists: eight were clear; verification raised a P1 for missing real OpenShell Ready/failed-probe live coverage. Its aggregate remains red. The recorded disposition retains the production-command local regression and existing live upgrade/rebuild coverage, defers artificial fault injection, and challenges the P1 severity. This is not a green Advisor result or human review approval.

Rebecca approved the isolated validation procedure for the exact four-file repair. The canonical semantic checker passed 102 tests across 78 files in a credential-isolated environment with network and contributor-home access denied, refreshed against main 929d9f5287178d9bc2d744425c7bfb40d028ea37. The candidate selector regression separately verifies its new mapping. Normal publication hooks remain required.

Rebecca approved the exact revised budget: base 53c51c4229d387633165771730f8f1a8373f84e9f3303b2144280027a56e3441 to candidate 1653f4c6c0292d2853727c39ddb36aa55361f749df3db32aa3847c3d4a7f30cb. This approval covers the shared restoration owner and preserves upstream reductions. The policy landed through #12833; it is not a waiver of the new candidate's checks or a PR review approval.

Focused E2E run 37857531326, attempt 1 passed both upgrade and rebuild, plus Relevant E2E, on current head 61361a7ef3716f1ef3a31f65dcc1043911c54cf2, base c518e121d23c616da1b083c44c9eb504fb419ebd, and trusted workflow 929d9f5287178d9bc2d744425c7bfb40d028ea37. Correlation: 1e410023-8218-4b2f-a95f-e2eea8cb065d. Selectors: openshell-gateway-upgrade-v0-0-89-x86-64,rebuild-openclaw; inference mode: mock. Dispatch and product evidence identities were verified. The 94 upgrade and 70 rebuild product files substantiate preserved state, configuration, exact loaded plugin, native readiness, authenticated mock inference and credential custody. Both cleanup reports have zero failures. Prior run 37700645111 remains evidence only for its original 63c0dc1 identity.

The live upgrade exercised a stopped/stale survivor, not a real OpenShell Ready/failed-probe fault. The production probe-to-selection regression covers that selection boundary with a local execution adapter. Historical OpenShell v0.0.55 remains unverified; this PR does not establish the historical token-source failure's root cause.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Installer recovery can rebuild a confirmed legacy OpenClaw sandbox marked Ready when its agent version check fails and no managed-image fingerprint is recorded, provided a validated latest backup is available. The sandbox must belong to the selected gateway and have no recorded custom-image evidence.
    • Recovery requires a validated latest backup for every sandbox selected for rebuilding.
  • Documentation

    • Updated sandbox management, command reference, and quickstart guidance to describe the recovery conditions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Installer-driven recovery now includes confirmed Ready legacy OpenClaw sandboxes when their agent-version probe fails and no managed-image fingerprint is recorded. The recovery path requires a validated latest backup. The change also updates restoration verification, tests, and recovery documentation.

Rebecca Sliter (@rsliter) explicitly approved this exact assertion-budget exception and its independent growth-check waiver in the implementation conversation on October 7, 2026. This comment records that human authorization; it is not a PR review approval.

The existing rebuild test must reject a native plugin inspection report with status: "error" or "disabled", even when OpenClaw exits zero. The approved correction adds one generated probe block and one condition, shared by the healthy and killed-source restore checks. It adds no live target or expect call and removes no assertion.

Approved SHA-256 transition for ci/e2e-assertion-budget.json:

  • Base: fdc4a78b5588629e26b00778d1bc82d69101077b9e372f2b58670510184579c2

Under test/README.md's live E2E assertion ratchet policy, the expected independent growth-check failure for this exact transition is waived. Other checks, automated review, E2E evidence, and merge protections remain required. A different budget transition needs a new disposition. Remove the temporary exception after this PR merges.

Reject unexpected mock OpenClaw commands.

The mock returns the loaded-plugin report for every non-config command. A wrong plugin name or a missing --runtime flag can therefore pass the positive test. Restrict the mock to the expected command arguments.

Rebecca approved the following bounded repair in the working conversation on 2026-10-08:

  • Replace AST extraction with one parameterized restoration-command builder in test/e2e/live/openclaw-restoration.ts, consumed by the live rebuild target and its deterministic support tests.
  • Preserve every state, configuration, plugin, failure, and argv predicate. The helper remains in the scanned live source set. Unique census counts remain 1,666 expectations, 3,210 assertion points, 209 generated blocks, and 721 generated conditions. Direct generated blocks/conditions move from 88/217 to 87/216; live source files move from 184 to 185.
  • Authorize the exact budget transition from fdc4a78b5588629e26b00778d1bc82d69101077b9e372f2b58670510184579c2 to ab4db73f23b63952063fde5035d8c759f9b9bc1056e81d0e257404d19d746c31 and a separate prerequisite policy PR. The exception must land on trusted main before the repaired fix(upgrade): recover confirmed legacy sandboxes after failed probes #12767 candidate is published. Any other budget transition requires a new decision.

This records scope and budget authorization, not a GitHub review approval, merge authorization, or waiver of the current Advisor check. Rebecca will select a human reviewer after readiness. No merge or reviewer request will be performed by this workflow. Remove the temporary exception through normal policy cleanup after #12767 merges.

Rebecca approved rebinding the restoration repair's budget exception on 2026-10-08 after reviewing the upstream #12608 reduction:

  • Base budget SHA-256: 53c51c4229d387633165771730f8f1a8373f84e9f3303b2144280027a56e3441.
  • Candidate budget SHA-256: 1653f4c6c0292d2853727c39ddb36aa55361f749df3db32aa3847c3d4a7f30cb.
  • Preserve the seven-assertion concurrent-gateway reduction from main. Keep every previously approved restoration predicate and the shared builder in the scanned live source set. The proposed census retains 1,659 unique expectations, 3,203 assertion points, 209 generated blocks, and 721 generated conditions across 185 live source files.

This replaces the budget pair recorded in issuecomment6059603977 for the same repair. Prerequisite #12833 must land through human review before #12767 consumes its trusted-base exception. Remove the temporary exception after #12767 merges. This scope authorization is not a PR review approval, merge authorization, or waiver of CI or Advisor findings. Rebecca will choose reviewers; this workflow will not merge or request them.

prekshivyas pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Oct 8, 2026
## Outcome

The independent E2E growth check can accept the approved budget for
#12767 after this prerequisite policy merges into `main`.

## Reason

Independent enforcement reads exceptions from the trusted base. A
candidate-only entry cannot authorize its own budget change.

### Related issues

Refs #7475. Prerequisite for #12767.

## Changes

Add one exception bound to PR #12767 and both budget SHA-256 hashes.
Preserve all existing exception entries. Remove the temporary entry
after #12767 merges.

The approved repair moves restoration validation into one builder within
the scanned live source set. It preserves every restoration predicate,
including plugin validation, and retains the seven-assertion reduction
from #12608. The budget changes from
`53c51c4229d387633165771730f8f1a8373f84e9f3303b2144280027a56e3441` to
`1653f4c6c0292d2853727c39ddb36aa55361f749df3db32aa3847c3d4a7f30cb`.

## Verification

- Existing growth parser and guardrail tests: 65 passed.
- Production policy evaluator with the actual budget files: approved
transition passes; wrong PR, changed base bytes, changed candidate
bytes, and candidate-only policy are rejected.
- CLI type check: passed with an 8 GiB Node heap. Default setup
exhausted its default heap.
- The diff changes only the exception policy and contains no secrets,
API keys, or credentials.
- Normal commit hooks: passed, including growth guardrails, repository
checks, secret scan, and commitlint.
- Final publication validation and CLI TypeScript: passed; plugin and
JavaScript configuration checks legitimately skipped. All three
published commits are GitHub Verified, including
`3c4688d37d17f3a8e3aa96a933bb073924430ce2`.

The previous candidate passed growth enforcement and CodeRabbit. Its CI
failed before tests in the inherited Ubuntu mirrorlist installer. This
candidate integrates the landed fix from #12837 and resolves the
independent policy-entry conflict while preserving both entries. [CI run
37809262635](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/37809262635)
passed for the integrated candidate, including all twelve CLI shards.
Independent growth enforcement passed. No live E2E is required for this
policy-only diff; all nine specialists concurred.

## Review notes

[Rebecca approved this bounded relocation, budget transition, and
prerequisite
PR](#12767 (comment)).
Her maintainer permission and the record were verified. This
authorization is not a PR review approval or an Advisor waiver.
CodeRabbit completed its exact-head review with no actionable findings.
All nine Advisor specialists reported clear, and the blocker gate passed
in [Advisor run
37811789238](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/37811789238).

The policy PR changes no executable, live test, or budget file. Its
parser continues to enforce PR identity and both hashes. The main repair
remains local until this dependency lands. Local Docker and CLI exposure
are not required for these policy checks.

Please review the current candidate bdc8c26. The shared restoration builder and trusted exact-budget policy address the prior architecture/reduction and delivery findings.

## Outcome

Refresh the exception for #12382 so its reviewed runtime assertions can
pass the independent growth check after #12608 reduced main's gateway
assertions.

## Reason

#12608 merged before #12718 and changed the base budget bytes. The
exception adopted by #12718 therefore matches neither the new base
budget nor #12382's prepared integration.

### Related issues

Refs #12382, #12718, #12608.

## Changes

Replace only the two budget digests for #12382 and add a scoped
explanation. Preserve every other exception and all enforcement code.

| Budget | SHA-256 |
|---|---|
| Base |
`53c51c4229d387633165771730f8f1a8373f84e9f3303b2144280027a56e3441` |
| Runtime candidate |
`8162408384d7a6b97ef0062042c73d4bc9486f54d2dfa6c0c5732e42d1060e2a` |

The runtime transition retains native admin approval before
survival/rebuild mutations and the plugin-install success check. It adds
one unique assertion point and one generated probe condition over the
reduced main budget. It adds no live scenario or matrix lane.

## Verification

- Canonical `e2eAssertionBudgetGrowthViolations` consumer: accepts the
proposed trusted-base transition; rejects a different PR, changed base
bytes, changed candidate bytes, and candidate-only policy.
- Assertion census: the prepared runtime source fits the proposed
budget.
- All 58 growth parser tests passed after resolving the shared-policy
conflict. Existing census evidence remains valid because the budgets and
runtime source did not change.
- Signed commit and normal publication hooks passed, including plugin
and checked-JavaScript type checks.
- Reviewed the complete one-file diff. No secrets, API keys, or
credentials.

## Review notes

The branch incorporates #12837, which repairs the inherited Ubuntu
mirrorlist installation failure. The branch also incorporates #12833 and
preserves its #12767 exception. The #12382 budget digests are unchanged.
The policy comment now cites the maintainer acceptance recorded below;
no exception value or enforcement code changed. Signed commit `71535b2`
passed normal commit and publication hooks. Fresh CI and Advisor checks
for this comment-only update are pending. [Senthil approved the
PR](#12840 (review)),
confirming that the recorded acceptance resolves his earlier change
request.

Maintainer Prekshi Vyas (@prekshivyas) [accepted the exact replacement
budget
pair](#12840 (comment)),
including one additional unique assertion point and one generated probe
condition. Independent enforcement is not waived: adoption on main
remains required before #12382 can use this exception. The approval
records the exact replacement pair and its bounded assertion increase.

Rebecca approved the narrow publication-validation procedure in the contributor chat on October 8. It covers the marker-read and helper-selection repair over bdc8c26, exact patch SHA-256 026d0e78e071a426e0b8d1c2852dda1776d45302021a70ed9a779853866a5085. Canonical base 888e95d. The sole changed validation dependency is tools/e2e/target-catalogue.mts, adding the restoration helper to rebuild-openclaw owningPaths. Credential-isolated canonical semantic validation passed 102 tests across 78 files; contributor-home and network denial controls passed. The repaired candidate passes 172 focused tests and retains the approved assertion-budget hash. Authorization covers normal signed commit and guarded publication of this repair with recorded final SHA and hook results. CI and all automated reviews remain required. This is not merge authorization, human PR approval, or a new budget waiver.

Please review exact head 61361a7. This repair propagates failed marker reads and registers the shared restoration helper for rebuild selection; regression tests cover both findings.

Disposition of Advisor verification finding F-verification-mistake-proofing-9d1fd237e6bbe07a0882 on 61361a7:

Rebecca agreed to retain the current regression, run the existing upgrade/rebuild selectors on this head, and challenge the P1 classification rather than introduce artificial live fault injection.

The regression at src/lib/actions/upgrade-sandboxes-recovery.test.ts:620-684 restores production checkAgentVersion and executes its actual command wrapper, exit handling and parser through a disposable local process. Confirmed failed probe selects recovery; unconfirmed failure and successful current-version controls do not. The positive case fails without the selection fix. Gateway inventory, backup validation and rebuild remain replaced at their boundaries. Existing live tests exercise installer handoff and actual backup/rebuild/restoration separately.

We acknowledge that this composed evidence does not reproduce a real OpenShell Ready/failed-probe sandbox. Historical v55 also remains unverified. The current live gateway upgrade can make the survivor stopped/stale before selection. Ordinary probes deliberately ignore user shell profiles, and the managed executable is read-only, so adding a special fault mechanism would not automatically reproduce the original failure.

We dispute blocker severity absent a concrete uncovered defect at this unchanged transport/backup/rebuild boundary. The proposed new fixture is deferred. Current-head focused runtime evidence is still pending; older successes are not relabeled. The Advisor aggregate remains red, and this disposition does not alter its status, bypass any gate, request human review, or claim review readiness.

Maintainer disposition: Advisor review-readiness exception

Rebecca Sliter explicitly authorized proceeding to human review despite the disputed Advisor result for head 61361a7ef3716f1ef3a31f65dcc1043911c54cf2.

Advisor reassessment 37861551730 completed all nine specialists. Eight finding ledgers were clear. Verification reported the same live-coverage gap twice, and operability recorded an unresolved gateway-upgrade selector recommendation. The Advisor gate remains red; this note records a narrow review-readiness exception, not a passing Advisor result.

The accepted gap is that no live test combines a real OpenShell sandbox reporting Ready, absent managed-image fingerprint, an actual failed openclaw --version probe, explicit installer confirmation, and successful backup restoration/rebuild. The local regression exercises production command wrapping, exit handling, parsing, and recovery selection through a local execution adapter, with a mocked rebuild consumer. It fails without the selection fix and includes rejection controls.

Current-head E2E run 37857531326 passed the existing upgrade and rebuild targets and Relevant E2E. Verified artifacts establish state/configuration restoration, exact loaded-plugin identity, native readiness, credential custody, and cleanup with zero failures. These tests cover the real restoration boundaries in other states; they do not establish the missing Ready/failed-probe combination. The gateway-upgrade target has a supported selector and ran successfully, so the operability report's selector-availability concern does not justify another run.

Rationale: the missing combination is a disclosed coverage gap, not a demonstrated product defect. The production-command regression and live restoration evidence provide complementary coverage. Creating a new artificial fault mechanism would add test complexity without necessarily reproducing the original failure. We therefore accept this gap for human review and decline to expand this PR with artificial live fault injection solely to satisfy the P1 classification.

This exception applies only to the disputed Advisor review-readiness gate for this candidate. It does not waive other checks or repository protections, constitute PR approval, authorize merging, or claim historical OpenShell v0.0.55 reproduction. Rebecca will choose the human reviewer.

Reviewed commit 61361a7ef3716f1ef3a31f65dcc1043911c54cf2 against base c518e121d23c616da1b083c44c9eb504fb419ebd. No new actionable or blocking findings.

233 focused recovery, restoration, and selection tests passed. The executed-probe regression detects the defect with the pre-fix production source. The live assertion census and trusted-base budget exception checks passed. Retained E2E run 37857531326 identifies this candidate and passed upgrade, rebuild, and Relevant E2E, with no cleanup failures.

This approval includes the disclosed coverage gap accepted in the maintainer disposition: no single live test combines a real Ready legacy sandbox, a failed agent-version probe, explicit confirmation, and successful recovery. Historical v0.0.55 upgrade behavior and its token-source failure remain unverified.

## Outcome
PR #12769 can retain its approved model-change assertions after
integrating the restoration-probe accounting merged in #12767. This
prerequisite renews only its exact budget digest pair.

## Reason
The merged probe accounting changed the base budget bytes, invalidating
the exception renewed in #12849. The independent growth check requires
matching trusted base policy.

### Related issues
Refs #12667. Prerequisite for #12769.

## Changes
Update only the #12769 exception and its explanation. Preserve the
concurrent-gateway assertion reduction, the new live-file and
restoration-probe metrics, and every other PR entry. The model-change
transition remains four additional assertion points and six additional
expectations. This PR changes no tests, budget limits, or enforcement
code.

## Verification
- Existing growth-guardrail parser suite: 58 tests passed.
- Compared the proposed budget with canonical main: only the previously
approved double-onboard metrics change.
- Verified both SHA-256 digests from the budget bytes and confirmed that
other exception entries are unchanged.
- Installed publication validation and CLI, plugin, and
checked-JavaScript compiler checks passed through credential-isolated
hooks.
- The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.
