Summary

Updates every production actions/setup-node reference from v6 to the official immutable v7.0.0 commit. This is a fresh, maintainable replacement for #6976; the original Dependabot author is credited throughout the branch history.

Changes

  • Pin all 44 production actions/setup-node references to 820762786026740c76f36085b0efc47a31fe5020 (v7.0.0).
  • Preserve the trusted prepare-e2e boundary by pinning all 78 consumers to the first commit in this branch, whose action content already contains the v7 update.
  • Update workflow-boundary constants and tests so mutable or stale setup-node pins remain rejected.
  • Keep the bootstrap history intact because later commits intentionally reference the first commit as an immutable action source.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with doc updates
  • Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
  • Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
  • Docs not applicable — justification: this changes internal GitHub Actions pins and workflow-boundary tests only; no user-facing behavior or documentation surface changes.
  • Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
  • Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: independent review verified the official signed v7.0.0 source, immutable self-reference, trusted-checkout boundary, YAML validity, and absence of permission or secret-handling changes.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Verification

  • PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run check:diff passed when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — 317 workflow/security tests passed across 17 files at the pin-complete head; after syncing the current-main sandbox permission fix, exact-head validation passed 89/89 tests across 6 workflow and sandbox-contract files. All changed YAML parsed in the pre-commit hook and git diff --check is clean.
  • Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result: not run; focused workflow and security-contract coverage was used for this pin-only change.
  • Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
  • npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only)
  • Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
  • New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: no-docs-needed
  • Evidence: GitHub Actions dependency pins and workflow-contract tests changed; no user-facing behavior or documentation surface changed. Pin-complete validation passed 317/317 tests across 17 files, and exact-head post-sync validation passed 89/89 tests across 6 files.
  • Agent: Codex Desktop

1245-1246: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Mutate the workflow structurally instead of replacing serialized YAML.

This assertion is coupled to the exact formatting and quoting of the workflow text. Use mutateWorkflowSource() to locate Setup Node for trusted publisher and change only with.node-version, so the test continues to validate the boundary behavior after harmless YAML formatting changes.

As per path instructions, tests should favor behavioral confidence over implementation lock-in.

-    const downgradedPublisherNode = validateMutation((source) =>
-      source.replace(
-        '      - name: Setup Node for trusted publisher\n        uses: actions/setup-node@820762786026740c76f36085b0efc47a31fe5020 # v7.0.0\n        with:\n          node-version: "22"',

Exact-head maintainer audit on 1991548b358c028ceb1612c38f8e0e01e62549c7: no blocker found.

  • Official v7 and v7.0.0 refs both resolve to Verified commit 820762786026740c76f36085b0efc47a31fe5020; the action remains on the Node 24 runtime already used by the prior v6 pin.
  • All 40 production actions/setup-node uses resolve to that immutable SHA. All 77 trusted prepare-e2e consumers resolve to bootstrap commit f6304bc25fc35bfaa441c8c2fbfee38f72805a75, and its action content hash matches the enforced boundary constant.
  • The production workflow diff contains only the setup-node and trusted prepare-action pin updates. All three PR commits are Verified and DCO-compliant; there are no unresolved review threads.
  • Local focused workflow-boundary validation passed 105/105 tests, and current-head CI, advisors, protected E2E, macOS, WSL, and self-hosted checks are green.

Because this PR is authored by the assignee, I requested independent review from @laitingsheng and did not self-approve.

Preserve setup-node v7.

Retain the current-main workflow and runner-pressure changes.

Current-main refresh pushed as 5765e2807de09385a4f4048b8bb5838b934f727e.

  • Parents: prior PR head 1991548b358c028ceb1612c38f8e0e01e62549c7 and current main 3c4ea5a1e3c37ae6688399b823258e1c31790fd2
  • The pre/post-refresh patch ID is unchanged (0814a5a91cce08ba8450ceb131588d01023b51cf); the setup-node v7 change and current-main workflow/runner-pressure changes are both preserved
  • Commit is signed, DCO-compliant, and credits Dependabot as co-author

Validation passed:

  • workflow-contract suites: 72/72
  • E2E workflow-boundary suites: 10/10 and 24/24
  • regression E2E workflow suite: 5/5
  • plugin and CLI builds, CLI typecheck
  • full pre-commit and commitlint hooks, plus git diff --check
  • documentation audit: no user-facing documentation update required

Fresh exact-head CI and advisor checks are now running.

Verified against the project criteria at head 5765e2807d:

  • Pin authenticity — upstream actions/setup-node v7.0.0 and the v7 major tag both resolve to the same commit 820762786026740c76f36085b0efc47a31fe5020. All 40 production references are pinned to that immutable full SHA (not a mutable tag).
  • prepare-e2e boundary — the 77 trusted prepare-e2e consumers are repinned to the branch bootstrap commit f6304bc25f, whose action.yaml already carries the v7 update. The enforced contentSha256 constant (1283c2ea…dfbc) matches the file's SHA-256 exactly, and the content is byte-identical from f6304bc25f to head, so the supply-chain provenance boundary holds.
  • Scope — every changed line is a setup-node pin, a prepare-e2e pin, or an aligned boundary constant / hash / test assertion. No logic changes, no scope creep, no stray markers, SPDX headers intact.
  • Tests — workflow-boundary tests and provenance tools are realigned to the v7 SHA and new hash; the pr-workflow-contract assertion is tightened from .toContain(...) to .toBe(trustedSetupNodeAction). Boundary suites and macOS/WSL E2E exercise the new prepare-e2e pin and pass.
  • CI — all other required checks are green. The two red E2E / PR Gate and E2E / PR Gate Coordination checks stem from a single transient GitHub API 503 No server is currently available during coordination ("Run could not start"); they are unrelated to this change and clear on re-run.

Preserve current-main workflow telemetry and runner-pressure behavior.

Repin every new setup-node and trusted prepare-e2e consumer.

5892-5892: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Pre-existing template-injection pattern flagged by zizmor (not introduced by this PR).

const needs = ${{ toJSON(needs) }}; interpolates the needs context directly into the script's JS source text rather than passing it as data (e.g., via env: + JSON.parse(process.env.NEEDS_JSON)), which is the same pattern zizmor's template-injection rule flags. The identical construct already exists unchanged in this file's report-to-pr job, so this predates the pin refresh — flagging for awareness/future hardening rather than as a regression from this PR.

Fix-forward update: exact-head E2E passed cloud-onboard, credential sanitization, and Hermes security posture, but OpenClaw security posture failed. Current main had advanced by one directly relevant fix (#7514: strip group-write from staged Docker payloads), so I synced that commit cleanly rather than rerunning the known-old head. New signed/Verified head: 8ffb7994aafb0fc8da99b769a69a9fbae6935c68; net PR diff remains setup-node/prepare-e2e pins plus contract tests. Exact-head focused validation passed 89/89 tests across 6 files. Fresh CI/E2E gates are now running.

## Type of Change

- [ ] Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
- [ ] Code change with doc updates
- [x] Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
- [ ] Doc only (includes code sample changes)

## Quality Gates

- [ ] Tests added or updated for changed behavior
- [x] Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
`test/changelog-docs.test.ts` validates dated changelog structure,
version headings, and published links.
- [ ] Tests not applicable — justification:
- [x] Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
- [ ] Docs not applicable — justification:
- [ ] Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight,
onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
- [ ] Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver
recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification:
- [ ] Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer —
check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

## Documentation Writer Review

- [x] Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
- Result: `docs-updated`
- Evidence: Reviewed `docs/changelog/2026-07-25.mdx` at exact head
`0f5dedb47` against 90 first-parent release commits and 92 merged PRs
labeled `v0.0.96`. Verified parser-safe MDX SPDX, the exact version
heading, literal CLI names, writing style, skip terms, all 20
root-absolute published links, and the accepted #7591 opt-in
authenticated discovery bounds. #7544, #7599, and #7601 remain internal
or CI-only release-ledger entries. Changelog tests passed 6/6, the docs
build passed with 0 errors and two pre-existing Fern warnings, and `npm
run check:diff` plus the final diff check passed.
- Agent: Codex Desktop documentation-writer subagent
<!-- docs-review-head-sha: 0f5dedb -->
<!-- docs-review-agents-blob-sha: be20a09 -->

## DGX Station Hardware Evidence

- [ ] Tested on DGX Station
- Tested commit:
- Station profile/scenario:
- Result:
- Supporting evidence:

## Verification

- [x] PR description includes a `Signed-off-by:` line and every commit
appears as `Verified` in GitHub
- [x] Normal `pre-commit`, `commit-msg`, and `pre-push` hooks passed, or
`npm run check:diff` passed when hooks were skipped or unavailable
- [x] Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests
are marked not applicable above — `npx vitest run
test/changelog-docs.test.ts`: 6/6 passed.
- [ ] Applicable broad gate passed — `npm test` for broad
runtime/test-harness changes; `npm run check` for repo-wide
validation/coverage changes — command/result: Not applicable to this
prose-only changelog entry.
- [x] Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or
waivers
- [x] No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
- [ ] `npm run docs` builds without warnings (doc changes only) — the
build passed with 0 errors and 2 existing Fern warnings; the
published-route check passed.
- [x] Doc pages follow the [style
guide](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
(doc changes only)
- [ ] New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)
— native changelog files use the required parser-safe MDX SPDX comment
and no frontmatter.
