refactor(cli): add typed OpenShell sandbox observer

[rsliter]

Summary

OpenShell sandbox inventory and gateway-state logic previously called the CLI and interpreted its formatted output inside business logic. This PR adds a typed observation boundary backed by the existing CLI, then moves the first inventory and lookup consumers onto it without changing their external behavior.

Related Issue

Partial #9803

Changes

• Add a transport-neutral sandbox observer contract for named or selected gateway targets, typed inventories, and redacted failure categories.
• Add the CLI observer implementation with exact gateway-scoped arguments, private table parsing, case-insensitive phase canonicalization, the shared probe timeout, and semantic command and transport failures.
• Keep formatted sandbox get output in an explicit CLI-only presentation helper while presence and phase decisions use typed results.
• Move startup, status, doctor, upgrade, maintenance, registry recovery, and rebuild inventory consumers onto the typed boundary.
• Keep sandbox readiness orchestration in connect.ts, which retains the existing gateway, Docker, Error-phase grace, and diagnostic safeguards.
• Make the CLI adapter the single production owner of sandbox-list parsing. Existing recovery helpers now derive name, phase, and readiness projections from its typed inventory.
• Report observation failures separately from confirmed sandbox absence and route recovery guidance from typed error categories without exposing raw diagnostics.
• Replace rebuild harness CLI-text fixtures with explicit typed inventories.
• Ratchet the OpenShell timeout fan-in and affected action fan-out architecture budgets for the split boundary.
• Add and update tests for adapter arguments, parsing, timeout and failure mapping, disconnected-gateway recovery, typed guidance, redaction, and consumer decisions.

The abstraction is required by #9803 so later SDK and gRPC implementations can satisfy the same consumer contract. Replacing calls directly would couple each action to a new transport and make parity harder to verify. src/lib/adapters/openshell/sandbox-observer-cli.test.ts protects the CLI boundary, while migrated action tests protect current decisions. Direct CLI consumers outside this first slice remain deferred to later phase 1 slices.

No public command, flag, configuration, protocol, policy, or supported behavior changes. No Fern, user-guide, changelog, or other documentation update is required.

Quality Gates

• Tests added or updated for changed behavior
• Existing tests cover changed behavior. Justification:
• Tests 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: Carlos Vieira approved production commit 6c9509720 and reported no correctness, product-scope, or security blocker: refactor(cli): add typed OpenShell sandbox observer #10132 (review). Codex Desktop reviewed the one-line timeout follow-up at cf376f232; result PASS. The follow-up returns to the existing outer readiness timeout only after an observation consumes that deadline. Earlier observation failures keep their typed guidance, and no authentication, privilege, credential, data, or mutation boundary changes.

Test and harness updates src/lib/actions/**/*test.ts, test/helpers/rebuild-flow-*, test/cli/*	Tests and harnesses use typed inventories, asynchronous APIs, gateway-scoped commands, and coverage for typed observation failures.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5dbab

The refactor routes sandbox decisions through typed observation and changes recovery and status handling. At the current head, observation failures may still be treated as sandbox absence, while test doubles and compiled-artifact execution leave important behavior insufficiently validated; action imports also remain coupled to the CLI adapter. Merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance of these bounded correctness and validation risks.

Blockers

PRA-1 Blocker — Use structured OpenShell sandbox-list output for observation

• Location: src/lib/adapters/openshell/sandbox-observer-cli.ts:92
• Category: architecture
• Problem: The new observer parses the human-readable `openshell sandbox list` table, while existing repository paths use the CLI structured list response. This creates a second state parser at a lifecycle boundary and accepts arbitrary non-header rows as sandbox records.
• Impact: A CLI presentation change or diagnostic-shaped row can change sandbox presence or readiness decisions. The repository must maintain ANSI removal, table layout, and phase-token behavior separately from the structured OpenShell contract.
• Fix: Request `openshell sandbox list -o json` in `createCliOpenShellSandboxObserver`, retaining `-g <gateway>` for named targets. Reuse or extend the existing strict structured-row validation to build observations, then remove the table parser and its table-specific tests.
• Verification: Read `sandbox-observer-cli.ts` and confirm the list arguments include `-o json`; use the existing strict-row validator with malformed JSON and an invalid row.
• Test coverage: Add observer tests for a valid structured named-gateway list and for malformed JSON or an invalid row that must return a schema failure without creating an inventory.
• Evidence: `src/lib/adapters/openshell/sandbox-observer-cli.ts:16-113` strips ANSI sequences and parses whitespace-delimited table rows; `parseCliOpenShellSandboxInventory` adds every non-header row as a sandbox. `src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy-preflight.ts:278-283` requests `sandbox list -o json`, and `src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-lifecycle.ts:510-521` requests `sandbox list -g <gateway> -o json`. `src/lib/adapters/openshell/sandbox-presence.ts:5-53` validates structured list records and returns unknown for malformed output. `src/lib/state/gateway.ts:22-83` retains a separate table parser whose readiness rule accepts `Ready` or `Running` in any column, demonstrating current duplicate ownership of list presentation parsing.

PRA-2 Blocker — Keep unreachable gateway observations distinct in upgrade checks

• Location: src/lib/openshell-sandbox-list.ts:132
• Category: correctness
• Problem: The read-only named-gateway list converts an unreachable gateway error into an empty inventory. `upgrade-sandboxes --check` then uses that inventory to identify registered sandboxes as unobserved and orphaned.
• Impact: A gateway outage can produce an orphan diagnosis and destructive recovery guidance for a sandbox that remains present. Operators cannot distinguish failed observation from confirmed absence.
• Fix: Return a distinct unreachable observation from the read-only list path. In `upgrade-sandboxes --check`, identify the recorded gateway as unreachable and defer orphan classification and recovery guidance until a successful observation.
• Verification: Inject a `transport/unreachable` observer result into the check-mode upgrade path and inspect the emitted classification and guidance.
• Test coverage: Make the named-gateway observer return `transport/unreachable` in an `upgrade-sandboxes --check` test. Assert that output identifies the gateway failure and does not emit orphan, destroy, or onboard recovery guidance.
• Evidence: `src/lib/openshell-sandbox-list.ts:116-139` returns `{ sandboxes: [] }` when a named gateway observation fails with `transport/unreachable`. `src/lib/actions/upgrade-sandboxes.ts:304-321` derives live and non-ready names from that inventory, and `:410-414` passes those names to orphan classification. `src/lib/openshell-sandbox-list.test.ts:324-336` currently asserts the empty-inventory result for a down recorded gateway. `src/lib/actions/upgrade-sandboxes-recovery.test.ts:518-542` shows that an inventory which omits a registered sandbox emits an orphan diagnosis and rebuild guidance.

Recommended refactoring

Implementation guidance; a fix with equal or lower complexity is acceptable.

• PRA-1: Remove Delete the observer table parser, ANSI removal helper, phase-token maps, and table-only fixtures after the observer consumes validated structured list records.; use Use `sandbox list -o json` and one strict structured-record validation path to construct sandbox observations.. Net: -70 lines. Keep: Retain named-gateway pinning, typed redacted error classification, and fail-closed handling for malformed output.

Keep observer failures distinct from missing sandboxes.

If list.ok is false, this code sets observed to null and reports that the sandbox is absent. A timeout or OpenShell command failure can then produce the incorrect “not present” detail and onboarding hint. Preserve the typed failure category in the doctor check instead of classifying it as a missing sandbox. This migration must retain typed transport and command failures.

1. Identity mismatch can still trigger mutating gateway recovery. isRecoverableObservedSandboxListGatewayFailure returns true for every typed transport error (src/lib/openshell-sandbox-list.ts:37-38). The adapter classifies handshake verification failed as { kind: "transport", reason: "identity_mismatch" } (src/lib/adapters/openshell/sandbox-observer-cli.ts:167-174). That result reaches recoverNamedGatewayRuntime at src/lib/openshell-sandbox-list.ts:92. Recovery is therefore still attempted after an identity failure, even though identity failure is not evidence that the gateway is unreachable and must fail closed without mutation. Restrict recovery to kind === "transport" && reason === "unreachable", and add a regression test proving identity mismatch never calls recoverNamedGatewayRuntime.

2. The read-only list still converts non-unreachable typed failures into empty inventory. captureNamedGatewaySandboxListReadOnly handles only schema, then returns { sandboxes: [] } for every other failed result at src/lib/openshell-sandbox-list.ts:154-159. Authentication, identity-mismatch, timeout, and command failures therefore become indistinguishable from a successful empty list. The comment only permits a down or unreachable gateway to be non-fatal (lines 131-138). Preserve an empty inventory only for transport/unreachable; propagate or explicitly fail closed for other typed errors. Add focused tests for at least authentication/command and identity-mismatch failures.

Focused local Vitest could not start because this isolated worktree has no installed vitest/config; this review is based on direct source/control-flow inspection and the checked-in tests. Existing tests cover generic recovery and unreachable read-only behavior, but no test protects either case above.

I did not act on failed gates alone. The Product Scope Gate has an accepted decision on issue #9803, existing CodeRabbit threads are resolved, and the current Advisor comment is stale (it records head 233c318e..., not this head).

Reviewed commit 6c95097. Accepted issue #9803 covers this refactor. The observer keeps authentication, identity, timeout, schema, command, and unreachable failures distinct. Recovery is limited to transport/unreachable. Read-only consumers fail closed for other errors. Focused negative tests protect these boundaries. I found no blocking correctness, product-scope, or security issue. Exact-commit checks report no failures or pending jobs, and all review threads are resolved.
