Summary

Deep Agents MCP registration dropped the OpenShell credential revision that readiness had already proved. Readiness could also accept the identityless startup placeholder before OpenShell published the attached provider snapshot. Hermes registration and post-add credential probes shared that gap, so a successful add or restart could persist a placeholder that OpenShell could not resolve at egress.

This change waits for a revision-scoped placeholder from a fresh OpenShell exec, then carries that exact revision through Deep Agents and Hermes registration, inspection, status, teardown, rollback, and wire-level resolution probes. Raw credential values remain outside managed agent configuration and probe commands.

This remains the bounded credential-revision repair under #10079. It covers the Deep Agents and Hermes consumers of the shared readiness contract, but does not close the separate messaging cases tracked there.

Maintainer update by Rebecca Sliter (2026-08-25): this description replaces stale dependency and validation text with the independently reviewed evidence for exact head d3adccb1da0c2548d39193125e4339c6d4a811c1.

Related Issue

Part of #10079.

Changes

  • Require a revision-scoped placeholder before treating an endpoint-bound MCP credential as attached; keep polling when a fresh exec still sees the identityless startup placeholder.
  • Forward the readiness-proven revision into Deep Agents and Hermes adapter rendering and exact post-write inspection.
  • Require Hermes add payloads to declare the exact credential name and bounded vN revision, and reject missing, mismatched, malformed, overlong, wrong-name, or non-add metadata before mutation.
  • Select the installed Deep Agents v2 or legacy configuration during status and teardown; treat only a missing selected file as absent and fail closed on unsafe, malformed, or unknown runtime state.
  • Validate every registry-owned Deep Agents sibling before mutation, preserve its exact revisioned state, and refuse missing or drifted siblings.
  • Preserve the scrub-time credential revision across destroy and rebuild rollback, prefer a fresh observed revision when available, and refuse canonical or unknown rollback authority.
  • Observe a fresh bounded revision before post-add or status probes, render the exact vN placeholder, and reject canonical or absent observations before endpoint traffic.
  • Require the live Hermes fixture to observe a revision-scoped placeholder and route its Python validator through deterministic integration and watch coverage.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Deep Agents MCP registration, inspection, rollback, teardown, readiness, and credential probing now support revision-scoped credentials and semantic server matching. Tests cover credential isolation, sibling preservation, malformed claims, readiness behavior, probing, and corrected repository-relative paths.

Changes

Deep Agents MCP credential lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credential revision readiness
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-provider-readiness.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-provider.test.ts
Readiness requires revision-scoped credential observations and rejects identityless canonical placeholders.
Revision-scoped credential probing
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-resolution-probe.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-resolution-probe-*.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-status-resolution.test.ts
Credential probes observe the current revision, use revision-qualified authorization references, and skip canonical or unavailable observations.
Credential-aware registration and inspection
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-{status,registration,inspection}.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapters.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/*registration*.test.ts
Registration and inspection accept credential revisions, preserve non-target servers, and verify semantic matches without exposing host-only secrets.
Rollback and teardown matching
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-{legacy,teardown}.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/*rollback*.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/*v2-removal*.test.ts
Rollback and teardown use managed-server matching, restore expected configurations, preserve sibling servers, and reject mismatched or malformed credentials.
Validator and test path maintenance
agents/langchain-deepagents-code/validate-read-only-mcp-call.py, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-add-restart.ts, test/agents/*, test/onboarding/*, test/runtime/*, ci/test-file-size-budget.json
The validator uses the v12_VALIDATION_MCP_TOKEN descriptor. Tests use corrected repository-relative paths, and the test-size budget is updated.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d015b

The change preserves credential revisions across Deep Agents registration and probing, but one managed-entrypoint test verifies the validator’s source text rather than exercising its behavior, leaving a bounded correctness-validation gap. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up to add behavioral coverage.

The manual PR workflow does not run these selectors for the commit under review. Run them from reviewed code on main.

Blockers

PRA-1 Blocker — Status accepts an obsolete credential revision

  • Location: src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-status.ts:84
  • Category: correctness
  • Problem: MCP status accepts a syntactically valid revision-scoped placeholder without comparing it with the current credential revision. The credential-resolution probe separately observes a fresh revision, so it can succeed while the persisted adapter configuration uses an obsolete revision.
  • Impact: After a provider refresh, status can report an adapter as registered and credential resolution as successful although the agent still sends an obsolete credential placeholder. Operators do not receive the required mismatch and restart signal.
  • Fix: Observe the credential revision once during status for authenticated entries. Pass that revision to OpenClaw, Deep Agents Code, and Hermes inspection, including Hermes reconciliation. Use that same observation for the probe, and do not report probe success as readiness when exact adapter inspection fails.
  • Verification: Inspect status construction and run the focused MCP status tests with an observed v12 revision and persisted v11 configuration.
  • Test coverage: Add status tests for each adapter with a fresh v12 credential observation and a persisted v11 placeholder. Assert an adapter mismatch and no successful probe result as evidence that the stale adapter is usable.
  • Evidence: src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-status.ts:84-113 calls adapter inspection without a credential revision. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-status.ts:161-266 sets allowRevisioned when no revision is supplied. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-resolution-probe.ts:397-427 independently observes a fresh revision for the wire probe. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-v2-removal.test.ts:102-119 proves exact inspection rejects v11 when v12 is supplied.

PRA-2 Blocker — Legacy Deep Agents cleanup can mutate a replacement file

  • Location: src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-teardown.ts:67
  • Category: security
  • Problem: The legacy shared `.mcp.json` path is checked for stable identity before mutation, but rollback and teardown subsequently replace or unlink the pathname. A same-UID process can replace that path after the check and before the path operation.
  • Impact: Rollback or teardown can overwrite or delete a concurrent user-owned MCP configuration file, which violates the ownership boundary for legacy shared state.
  • Fix: Extend the shared legacy helper to retain a validated writable descriptor for an existing legacy file and mutate through that descriptor. Revalidate that the pathname still resolves to the descriptor identity before and after the operation. Do not use path-based replace or unlink after a separate identity check; fail closed if the path changed.
  • Verification: Inspect the generated legacy rollback and teardown commands and exercise a fixture that replaces `.mcp.json` between the stable check and publication or removal.
  • Test coverage: Add race tests that replace `.mcp.json` after the identity check during rollback registration, teardown update, and final-entry teardown. Each operation must fail and leave the replacement contents unchanged.
  • Evidence: src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-legacy.ts:108-128 checks legacy identity then calls os.replace on config_path. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-teardown.ts:67-98 checks identity then calls os.replace on config_path. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-teardown.ts:169-173 checks identity then calls config_path.unlink(). src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge/deepagents-legacy-config.ts:6-45 closes the descriptor after reading and retains only a path fingerprint.

PRA-3 Blocker — Deep Agents legacy compatibility has duplicate contract owners

  • Location: src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-status.ts:238
  • Category: architecture
  • Problem: Status, teardown, and rollback each embed the same runtime-path classification. Teardown and rollback also embed the same legacy temporary-file publication sequence. These copies independently own the runtime-selection and legacy-mutation contracts.
  • Impact: A compatibility update requires synchronized changes across generated commands. A missed change can make status, teardown, and rollback select different configuration paths or apply different mutation safeguards.
  • Fix: Move runtime classification and the legacy mutation sequence into `mcp-bridge/deepagents-legacy-config.ts`. Have each command inject the shared fragments and retain only operation-specific messages and outcomes.
  • Verification: Search the rendered command builders for the `_MCP_CONFIG_FILE` classification and legacy temporary-file publication blocks; each contract should have one helper owner.
  • Test coverage: Render status, teardown, and rollback commands from the shared fragments and verify each accepts both supported runtime paths and rejects an unknown path. Preserve lifecycle tests for legacy rollback and teardown.
  • Evidence: src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-status.ts:238-266 embeds runtime classification. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-teardown.ts:45-98 embeds runtime classification and legacy publication. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-legacy.ts:51-128 embeds runtime classification and legacy publication. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge/deepagents-legacy-config.ts:4-45 is the existing Deep Agents legacy compatibility helper.

PRA-4 Blocker — Two tests own the normal Deep Agents server cap

  • Location: src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-registration.test.ts:141
  • Category: architecture
  • Problem: The registration test and projection test both prove that normal v2 registration rejects an over-limit server set. The registration test hard-codes 65, while the projection test derives the bound from `DEEPAGENTS_MCP_MAX_SERVERS`.
  • Impact: The same contract has two test owners and can drift when the server limit changes.
  • Fix: Keep normal registration cap coverage in the projection test, where the shared cap is the authority. Add the exact-cap accepted case there, then remove the overlapping registration test.
  • Verification: Inspect both test files and confirm that one test owns normal registration cap behavior through DEEPAGENTS_MCP_MAX_SERVERS.
  • Test coverage: The remaining projection test must assert that normal registration rejects `DEEPAGENTS_MCP_MAX_SERVERS + 1` and accepts exactly `DEEPAGENTS_MCP_MAX_SERVERS`; retain distinct rollback and legacy coverage.
  • Evidence: src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-registration.test.ts:141-156 tests rejection at 65 and acceptance at 64. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-projection.test.ts:55-75 tests normal registration rejection using DEEPAGENTS_MCP_MAX_SERVERS + 1. src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-projection.ts:4 defines DEEPAGENTS_MCP_MAX_SERVERS as the server-limit authority.

Recommended refactoring

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

  • PRA-3: Remove Remove repeated runtime-selection and legacy-publication command fragments from the three builders.; use Export shared command fragments from deepagents-legacy-config.ts and interpolate them in each builder.. Net: -45 lines. Keep: The shared fragments must preserve fail-closed unknown-runtime handling and every legacy ownership, mode, link, identity, and verification check.
  • PRA-4: Remove Remove the overlapping normal-registration cap test from mcp-bridge-adapter-deepagents-registration.test.ts after moving its exact-cap assertion.; use Use the cap-derived projection test as the sole normal-registration cap matrix.. Net: -16 lines. Keep: Retain exact-cap acceptance, over-limit rejection, rollback cap coverage, and legacy rollback coverage.

I reviewed the complete diff and automated evidence for commit 1955db7dc1b542adebd2da5f4602f09a3afa7ce3. Two correctness defects remain. Required CLI tests also fail on this commit.

  1. registerAgentAdapter receives the revision that readiness proved, but the hermes-config branch drops it at src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapters.ts:145-147. mcp-bridge-adapter-hermes.ts:39 and :49 therefore render the identityless placeholder. The shared readiness change can accept only vN_GITHUB_TOKEN, while Hermes persists GITHUB_TOKEN. This can make add or restart report success with a configuration that OpenShell cannot resolve. Because this PR states that it is a bounded Deep Agents repair, either keep the shared readiness behavior from changing Hermes or record accepted Hermes scope and carry the revision through Hermes registration and inspection with tests.

  2. buildDeepAgentsMcpStatusCommand always reads the v2 projection at src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-status.ts:220. Its catch at :226 converts every read or validation failure to an empty configuration. During the supported v1 migration window, status cannot inspect the legacy registry-owned entry. For v2, a symlink, FIFO, malformed file, or other unsafe projection is reported as absent instead of an inspection failure. Select the configuration from the installed runtime, report absent only when the selected file does not exist, and return a bounded error for invalid or unsafe state.

The required CLI run confirms incomplete validation: shards 4, 6, and 10 fail. Shard 4 fails restore and rebuild tests because the fixtures expose the canonical placeholder while the changed readiness path now requires a revision-scoped placeholder; two tests also time out. Update the affected lifecycle evidence and obtain passing required checks.

I did not treat the advisor's PRA-3 refactor as blocking. The dead generated branch and duplicate helper increase maintenance cost, but the evidence does not show a current behavior or security defect. CodeRabbit withdrew its validator-test finding after confirming that the managed-image build exercises the public runtime boundary.

Product Scope Gate: issue #10079 accepts the credential-resolution defect, but its accepted issue scope is messaging and the PR declares only a bounded Deep Agents repair. The Hermes behavior above therefore needs containment or an accepted product decision before approval.

The deterministic shard 4/6 failures on the current PR head are not expected to clear from unrelated merges. They are addressed by these prepared commits:

  • 96db46020: preserves the exact credential revision through destroy/rebuild rollback, selects the installed Deep Agents runtime for status, and rejects missing or drifted registry siblings before mutation.
  • 57c4ef081: binds Hermes registration to the observed vN credential revision and enforces the exact credential name/revision at the Python transaction boundary.

The merged #10159 provider-profile work (b2aec13f) fixes separate provider-profile collisions and does not account for the shard 4/6 failures here.

The independently reviewed combined candidate is now the PR head at 7266b5fa0. Fresh CI on that exact head is the merge gate.

Reviewed exact head 7266b5fa06dac405d0bf71d5b0994b6e08574848 against base fa34f2aca47a690a465d1a9dbd268e57b515c738.

The current implementation addresses the two earlier blocking findings: Deep Agents and Hermes now receive and verify the readiness-proven revision; Deep Agents selects the installed v2 or legacy projection and fails closed on unsafe or unknown state. It also rejects missing or drifted registry siblings before mutation, preserves revisioned sibling state, carries scrub-time authority through rollback, and uses a fresh revision for wire probes without exposing raw credentials. The earlier CodeRabbit execution-coverage finding was withdrawn, and the older maintainer changes-requested review applies to superseded commit 1955db7.

No exact Manual PR E2E was dispatched. This is an external fork (jyaunches/NemoClaw), while the narrowest workflow selector is credential-bearing jobs=mcp-bridge and runs OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents together. Repository policy prohibits that selector for external PRs, and there is no credential-free per-agent selector. Exact-head changes, aggregate checks, growth guardrails, and advisor synthesis also retain infrastructure failures from GitHub installation API rate limits or advisor publication.

Security review: PASS — Secrets and Credentials; Input Validation and Data Sanitization; Authentication and Authorization; Dependencies and Third-Party Libraries; Error Handling and Logging; Cryptography and Data Protection; Configuration and Security Headers; Security Testing; System Security. I am not approving without the required focused E2E and clear required checks. Required action: validate this exact commit from an eligible NVIDIA-owned source with jobs=mcp-bridge, inspect cleanup artifacts, and clear the remaining checks.

Request changes on current PR commit 7266b5f against base fa34f2a.

I reviewed the complete diff, adjacent status flow, issue #10079 and its comments, all PR comments and reviews, the resolved inline thread, automated findings, commit verification, and current checks. CI is green and the earlier adapter blockers are fixed. One blocking correctness defect remains, matching PR Advisor PRA-1.

statusMcpBridge still builds OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents inspections without the freshly observed credential revision. The new status builders therefore set allowRevisioned=true and accept any syntactically valid vN placeholder. A persisted v11 adapter is reported registered after the provider advances to v12, while the separate wire probe observes v12 and can report success. That contradicts the exact-revision status contract stated by this change and can tell an operator that stale agent configuration is usable.

The reproduction is already present at the builder boundary: buildDeepAgentsMcpStatusCommand(entry, v12) rejects stored v11, but status calls buildDeepAgentsMcpStatusCommand(entry) and accepts it. Observe the revision once for each authenticated entry, pass it to all three adapter inspections and Hermes reconciliation, reuse that same observation for the probe, and add status tests covering current v12 with persisted v11.

Security review: PASS in all nine categories for behavior introduced by this PR. PRA-2 describes a legacy race that also exists at the base commit, so I am not treating it as attributable to this PR; route it through the private security process. PRA-3 and PRA-4 are non-blocking maintainability recommendations.

Maintainer classification for latest PR commit d3adccb1da0c2548d39193125e4339c6d4a811c1:

  • The blocking stale-revision status finding is fixed. Status now observes one bounded credential revision, passes it to OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code inspection, reuses it for the wire probe, and suppresses the probe when the adapter does not match. Focused MCP tests passed 84/84; the affected changed lane passed 1,650/1,650.
  • The advisor analysis completed, but publication failed because the GitHub App hit an installation API rate limit. I read the exact synthesis artifact from run 32889091319 and removed the local copy after classification.
  • The legacy runtime/publication consolidation is the same PRA-3 maintainability item that the latest maintainer review explicitly classified as non-blocking. Commit d3adccb1d does not change that code. It remains deferred outside this issue-scoped repair.
  • Inlining the one-use destroy-test helper is also a maintainability cleanup on code unchanged by d3adccb1d. It does not identify a correctness, security, data-safety, supported-contract, required-review, or required-check failure, so it is deferred.
  • CodeRabbit reports success and no new actionable comment.

Automated-review remediation pushes in this task: 1.

Superseded by later fixes through d3adccb. The Hermes and Deep Agents blockers are fixed, and required CI passes on the latest PR commit.

Post-merge exact acceptance exposed a credential-revision convergence defect tracked in #10298.

PR #9726 commit 600cd2e6b85420e1fd1258f306401224e7f0d6fa includes merge commit 636f18ad1190823cffcc233e3d8c8e3bd04828b2. Exact OpenClaw MCP pass 1 succeeded, but independent pass 2 failed after a successful concurrent add. Its immediate status read reported the provider and policy as ready while adapter.registered was false because the persisted adapter did not match the current credential revision.

The same #9726 branch passed both exact MCP runs on 4111965ded190e28a16b8c96c1882957a82a2903 before #10173 was integrated. No command timed out, and cleanup passed. I did not rerun the failed live mutation.

## Summary

Fix the post-#10173 MCP revision regressions in this PR. Managed
adapters now register against a stable opaque credential revision
observed through fresh OpenShell execs. A delayed provider projection
can no longer leave committed adapter configuration stale, and teardown
never derives credential authority from an unrelated provider resource
version.

## Related Issue

Fixes #10300
Related: #10298

## Changes

- Require the same revision from two consecutive fresh OpenShell execs
before treating a credential as ready.
- For credential-bearing add, prove the installed revision after policy
activation, republish once, require a different stable revision, and
register the adapter at that final revision.
- Re-register OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code adapters when fresh
observation finds revision drift, then require three stable
post-registration observations before success.
- Apply convergence to add, restart, runtime restore, and teardown
rollback.
- Fail closed when teardown cannot prove a fresh opaque revision; never
substitute provider resourceVersion.
- Require bounded revision-scoped placeholders in Deep Agents Code live
evidence and the provider-rewrite probe.
- Cover concurrent add, delayed projection, crash recovery, restart,
destroy, rebuild, stale or unstable authority, and raw-secret exclusion.

## Type of Change

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

## Quality Gates

- [x] Tests added or updated for changed behavior

none accepted

## Verification

Exact local head: `44088b59c`

- [x] 286/286 focused MCP, Hermes lifecycle, crash consistency, restart,
teardown, destroy, and inherited watch-trigger tests passed
- [x] `npm run build:cli` passed
- [x] `npm run checks:repository` passed: 1,821 files, 5,760 edges, 0
cycles
- [x] `npx prek run --all-files` passed
- [x] No secrets, API keys, or raw credentials committed
- [ ] Exact-head CI and focused OpenClaw/Hermes/Deep Agents E2E are
pending
