Summary

Sandbox recovery restored managed openclaw.json through the generic state-file path at mode 0640, so the trusted restart preflight rejected the recreated sandbox even though its gateway process and HTTP endpoint were healthy. This change restores managed OpenClaw configuration at the required 0660 mode and preserves the classified managed-health failure detail when recovery still fails. The live regression target now deliberately recreates a legacy keepalive container because current onboarding correctly persists nemoclaw-start.

Changes

  • Restore managed openclaw.json, .last-good, and .config-hash files at mode 0660 while retaining mode 0640 for ordinary copied state files.
  • Include the sanitized managed-controller failure layer and detail in recreated-sandbox recovery diagnostics.
  • Add behavior tests for restored file modes and the exact GATEWAY_UNSAFE_CONFIG_PATH recovery failure.
  • Validate the current persisted nemoclaw-start restart path, then recreate only the identity-pinned sandbox container with sleep infinity and prove the legacy migration, with fail-closed fixture coverage, standalone tsx loader coverage, and mock/live parity mapping.

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: Existing recovery and host-state documentation already specifies transactional restoration, the mutable 660 sandbox:sandbox posture, final managed-health checks, and the unsafe-config-path failure layer. The E2E follow-up changes only internal test setup.
  • 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: Maintainer approval: fix(recover): restore managed OpenClaw config mode #7972 (review). Later commits change only E2E coverage and merge history; GitHub retains the approved review decision on the final head.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: no-docs-needed
  • Evidence: Exact committed diff reviewed through the target-specific recovery fixture. The final merge resolution preserves distinct, accurately named modern restart and legacy keepalive migration coverage. The change restores documented recovery behavior and updates only internal E2E setup without changing a command, configuration, workflow, default, error, or supported surface.

  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — command/result or justification: Validation passed for CLI recovery (28/28), integration recovery (29/29), combined fixture/lifecycle E2E support (29/29), mock/live parity (9/9), semantic E2E phases (114 tests across 71 files), CLI type-check, project membership, repository checks, imports, titles, test size, source shape, Biome, and diff checks. test:changed passed 412 tests with 7 skipped but hit three known macOS systemctl --user failures inherited from merged test(e2e): stabilize managed startup recovery #7975; focused lifecycle coverage passed. Exact run 30610342220 selected gateway-guard-recovery and exposed a standalone tsx import failure before legacy recreation; commit 0f47a7b78 fixes that fixture failure. Merge commit 6da6b0de9 resolves current main by retaining both modern and legacy routes; 25f1cdbb1 includes the concurrent automated conflict-resolution history without changing the reviewed tree. Exact-head run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/30612753934 passed the full selected matrix; gateway-guard-recovery passed all 10 phases, including persisted-startup recovery and legacy keepalive recreation/recovery.
  • 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 narrow recovery fix and target-specific E2E fixture; the affected suites and diff-scoped validation passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add managed-health diagnostics to sandbox recovery, validate legacy keepalive container replacement in E2E tests, and apply mode 0660 to managed-guard OpenClaw configuration restores while retaining mode 0640 for ordinary state files.

Changes

Sandbox recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Managed health failure propagation
src/lib/actions/sandbox/process-recovery.ts, test/process-recovery-supervisor-relaunch.test.ts
Recovery probes validate the pinned replacement identity, capture managed failure details, and include those details in readiness failures. Tests cover GATEWAY_UNSAFE_CONFIG_PATH, probe invocation, and rollback finalization.
Legacy keepalive recovery flow
test/e2e/live/gateway-guard-legacy-keepalive-fixture.ts, test/e2e/live/gateway-guard-recovery.test.ts, test/e2e/support/gateway-guard-legacy-keepalive-fixture.test.ts, test/e2e/mock-parity.json
The E2E flow recreates a legacy container with sleep infinity, validates the replacement identity and startup command, restarts it, and checks recovery results. Tests cover fail-closed validation, full container IDs, CLI handling, and standalone fixture loading.

State restore permissions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Restore mode selection and validation
src/lib/state/state-file-restore.ts, src/lib/state/state-file-restore-mode.test.ts
Managed-guard OpenClaw configuration restores use mode 0660. Ordinary copied state files retain mode 0640. Tests execute restores against temporary fixtures.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Test a non-managed copied state file.

runRestore(false) still restores openclaw.json from STATE_FILE. This does not verify the 0640 mode for an ordinary copied state file. Add a second fixture with a non-managed path and assert its mode is 0640.

Based on PR objectives, ordinary copied state files must retain mode 0640. As per path instructions, review tests for behavioral confidence rather than implementation lock-in.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Bound the synchronous fixture process.

spawnSync can block the E2E support worker indefinitely if tsx or the Docker lookup stalls. Set a bounded timeout and use SIGKILL so the synchronous child process terminates reliably.

Proposed fix
       ["--import", "tsx", FIXTURE_PATH, "fixture-import-probe", "f".repeat(64)],
-      { encoding: "utf8" },
+      {
+        encoding: "utf8",
+        timeout: 30_000,
+        killSignal: "SIGKILL",
+      },

As per path instructions, E2E subprocess boundaries require bounded timeouts and SIGKILL for synchronous calls.

## Summary

Adds the canonical July 30 release entry for `v0.0.99` before the
release tag is captured.
The entry covers all 37 merged PRs since `v0.0.98` and bounds
experimental or dormant work without presenting it as supported
behavior.

## Changes

- Adds `docs/changelog/2026-07-30.mdx` with the exact `## v0.0.99`
heading, parser-safe MDX SPDX comment, summary, detailed release
bullets, and published documentation routes.
- Records user-visible recovery, snapshot, shared-route, Hermes,
readiness, inference, image, documentation, and release E2E changes.
- States that the managed-image selection and startup-profile contracts
remain dormant and do not activate buildless onboarding.
