Summary

When the installed openshell binary exists but exits non-zero (cannot report its version), the installer silently skipped the OpenShell version check and the [INFO] Installing OpenShell CLI step, then completed onboarding and exited 0 — no error about the undeterminable version.

Root cause

Two paths combine:

  • maybe_install_openshell_during_install if-missing (source-checkout branch, scripts/install.sh:1276) returns 0 on command_exists openshell alone — an existence check, not a health check. A present-but-broken stub is treated as a developer's own binary to keep, so the Installing OpenShell CLI install is skipped.
  • The preinstall version gate that would otherwise catch an empty version (preinstall_backup_and_retire_legacy_gateway, the [ -n "$old_openshell_version" ] || error … at install.sh:2323, added in fix(installer): retire out-of-range gateway after backup #7078) only runs when a sandbox is registered — it early-returns at install.sh:2276 when sandbox_count is 0.

So on a host with no registered sandbox, neither gate fires and onboarding proceeds to exit 0 against an OpenShell whose version can't be determined. (With a sandbox, #7078's gate already aborts — the reporter's exit-0 transcript is pre-#7078 behavior.)

Fix

Health-check the if-missing guard: when openshell is present but installed_openshell_version is empty, error out (non-zero exit, [ERROR]) with a clear, actionable message, leaving gateway and sandbox state unchanged — instead of silently keeping a broken binary. A binary that does report a version is still preserved (the #3989 developer-autonomy intent); an absent binary still triggers the normal install.

Testing

  • Unit (test/install-openshell-upgrade-prompt.test.ts, sources the real scripts/install.sh): a present openshell that exits non-zero → maybe_install_openshell_during_install if-missing fails closed with "could not report its version"; a present openshell that reports 0.0.85 → kept, exit 0.
  • Live in real bash on Ubuntu 24.04: sourced scripts/install.sh with a stub openshell (exit 1) — before the fix maybe_install_openshell_during_install if-missing returned 0 with no install and no error; after the fix it aborts with the new [ERROR]. A stub reporting a version is kept with exit 0.

Closes #7300

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Updated the installer to “fail closed” when an existing OpenShell binary is found but cannot report a valid, non-empty version, displaying clear remediation steps instead of continuing.
    • Preserved normal installation behavior when OpenShell is missing, reports a usable version, or when the gate passes.
  • Tests
    • Expanded Linux-focused installer coverage for the OpenShell version gate, including cases for deferred installs and ensured correct fail/pass logging and side effects.

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: docs-updated
  • Evidence: The final effective four-file diff was reviewed against issue [Ubuntu 24.04][Install] installer silently skips OpenShell version check when binary exits non-zero, proceeds and exits 0 #7300 acceptance. The installer probes the existing version without aborting, requires all registered-sandbox backups first, then fails closed after backup and before gateway retirement, install, or onboarding when the installed OpenShell version is unavailable or invalid; the post-install gate also blocks onboarding. Tests assert that backup occurred, gateway and registry remain unchanged, install did not run on registered-sandbox failure paths, and healthy, absent, and post-install cases behave correctly. docs/get-started/quickstart.mdx and docs/manage-sandboxes/update-sandboxes.mdx now describe version reportability and range validation after backup, matching the accepted Expected Result.
  • Changed docs: docs/get-started/quickstart.mdx, docs/manage-sandboxes/update-sandboxes.mdx
  • Agent: Codex Desktop

…s version (#7300)

When `openshell` exists on PATH but exits non-zero (cannot report a version),
`maybe_install_openshell_during_install if-missing` (source-checkout branch)
returned 0 on `command_exists openshell` alone — an existence check with no
health check. So the installer silently skipped the `Installing OpenShell CLI`
step, and the preinstall version gate that would catch it
(preinstall_backup_and_retire_legacy_gateway, added in #7078) only runs when a
sandbox is registered — on a host with no sandbox it early-returns. The result
was onboarding proceeding to exit 0 against an undeterminable OpenShell version.

Health-check the if-missing guard: when openshell is present but
`installed_openshell_version` is empty, `error` out (non-zero exit) with a clear
message, leaving gateway and sandbox state unchanged, instead of keeping a
broken binary. A binary that reports a version is still preserved (the #3989
developer-autonomy intent); an absent binary still triggers the install.

Verified in real bash on Ubuntu 24.04: sourcing scripts/install.sh with a stub
`openshell` (exit 1) makes `maybe_install_openshell_during_install if-missing`
abort with the new error; a stub that reports 0.0.85 is kept with exit 0. Two
regression tests pin both.

…le gate (#7300)

Address PR Review Advisor PRA-1 (blocker): the previous check lived inside the
if-missing branch, after the NEMOCLAW_DEFER_OPENSHELL_INSTALL early return, so a
deferred install (env set) combined with a no-sandbox run (preinstall version
gate skipped at install.sh:2276) could still proceed against an unreportable
OpenShell version.

Move it to require_reportable_openshell_version(), called unconditionally in
main() after install_nemoclaw/verify_nemoclaw and before onboarding — independent
of defer, sandbox count, and if-missing/force mode. The force path has already
reinstalled openshell (healthy) by then; a present-but-unreportable binary on the
source-checkout path fails closed; an absent binary or one that reports a version
passes. Tests now drive the gate directly, including a defer-set case proving it
is not bypassable.

Verified live on Ubuntu 24.04: sourcing scripts/install.sh and calling the gate
with a stub openshell (exit 1) aborts with the diagnostic even under
NEMOCLAW_DEFER_OPENSHELL_INSTALL=1; a stub reporting 0.0.85 passes.

Exercise the healthy existing-binary path through main().

The healthy case only tests the gate directly; it does not prove a reportable existing openshell survives the installer flow. Add a runInstallerOpenshellVersionFlow(healthyOpenshell) case that asserts success and that the original binary remains unchanged. Based on PR objectives, healthy existing binaries must remain preserved. As per path instructions, prefer observable outcomes through the public boundary.

Reviewed exact head d73548d on current main 9171d79. Registered-sandbox installs now complete the required strict backup before failing closed on an unreportable OpenShell, without gateway retirement or registry mutation; the post-install gate protects deferred and no-registry paths. Focused installer tests, full exact-head CI, credentialed cloud-onboard E2E, final docs receipt, both advisor lanes, CodeRabbit, DCO/signatures, resolved threads, and the security sweep are green.
