Summary

PR #10277 correctly made Discord required during sandbox creation and bound its credential endpoints to {sandboxName}-discord-bridge. The regression was that Discord activation had two authorities: sandbox-create planning and final policy suggestion. Ambient Discord credentials could influence create planning, while the Open policy tier later suggested Discord even when the completed onboarding selection was empty. The result was a Discord policy referencing a provider that the same sandbox-create plan had not attached.

This change makes the explicit messaging selection authoritative for both sides. An unselected ambient Discord credential cannot activate Discord, and the Open-tier Discord preset is included only when Discord is in the active channel preset set.

Changes

  • Filter credential-backed active channels, provider requests, and reusable providers through the onboarding request's selected channel set.
  • Gate the Open-tier Discord suggestion on that same explicit channel selection for OpenClaw as well as Hermes.
  • Record exact provider names referenced by the materialized create-time policy and reject the plan before sandbox creation if any referenced provider is absent from its create-provider set.
  • Keep Discord requiredAtCreate: true, keep its credential bindings unchanged, and keep OpenShell's fail-closed validation unchanged.

Startup ordering and invariant

The fix preserves #10277's intended ordering: when Discord is selected and configured, its preset is materialized into the create-time policy and {sandbox}-discord-bridge is attached by sandbox create --provider before OpenClaw boots.

The enforced invariant is: every credential provider referenced by a materialized create-time policy must be present in the provider set of that same sandbox-create plan. Policy selection cannot add Discord merely because an ambient repository secret or reusable credential exists.

Six-job blast radius

Run 32909322579 deterministically failed these six unrelated OpenClaw jobs with the dangling Discord binding:

  • Inference: rejects unsafe routes and proves runtime identities.
  • Networking: OpenClaw reaches a public reference through open egress.
  • Tunnel: starts, probes, and stops a public dashboard tunnel.
  • Messaging: treats Telegram shell metacharacters as data.
  • Messaging: shares OpenClaw Slack pairing approval.
  • CLI: routes sessions and agents to OpenClaw.

The intended Discord pairing job was green. Full E2E validation will occur on PR #10113 after this fix lands.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Sandbox creation now validates credential-bound provider names, resolves messaging channels from staged plans, filters providers by channel state, and rejects plans that lack policy-required providers. E2E workflows now separate trusted workflow revisions from candidate checkouts and validate a pinned managed-image catalog.

Changes

Sandbox creation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Policy credential provider extraction
src/lib/onboard/initial-policy.ts
InitialSandboxPolicy records validated, deduplicated providers referenced by credential bindings.
Selected messaging channel filtering
src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create-intent-resolution.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create-intent.ts
Intent resolution uses staged messaging plans. Provider filtering distinguishes omitted selections from explicit selections and applies active and disabled channel state.
Create-plan provider validation
src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create-plan-materialization.ts
Plan materialization validates required providers before policy disclosure, applies policy-scoped channels, and orders provider cleanup and attachment.
Channel and policy suggestion validation
src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create-plan.test.ts, test/onboarding/onboard-messaging.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/policy-selection.ts, test/onboarding/onboard-policy-suggestions.test.ts
Tests cover Discord selection, provider attachment, missing providers, cleanup ordering, reusable-provider retention, credential loss, absent messaging plans, and Discord preset filtering.

E2E workflow validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pairing policy host routing
test/e2e/live/openclaw-pairing-helpers.ts, test/e2e/live/openclaw-slack-pairing.test.ts, test/e2e/support/openclaw-discord-pairing-helpers.test.ts
Pairing tests use separate hosts for Slack WebSocket and REST traffic. applyFakePolicy accepts an optional policy host.
Trusted workflow SHA validation
.github/workflows/e2e.yaml, tools/e2e/operations-workflow-boundary.mts, test/e2e/support/e2e-operations-workflow-boundary.test.ts
Manual PR authorization and checkout validation use the trusted controller workflow SHA separately from the candidate checkout SHA.
Managed-image catalog reuse validation
.github/workflows/e2e.yaml, tools/e2e/workflow-boundary.mts
The workflow assembles and validates a pinned managed-image catalog for the specified candidate revision.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 55958

The PR correctly makes explicit Discord selection authoritative and prevents policies from referencing unattached providers, with targeted validation passing. It is mergeable with owner awareness or follow-up for two bounded test-maintenance issues: one title format violation and one routing test that does not exercise the WebSocket and REST boundaries directly.

290-298: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Test the pairing script at a behavioral boundary.

This test only matches source text. It does not verify that net.createConnection uses host.docker.internal or that http.request uses host.openshell.internal. A future edit can leave these literals in the function declarations while routing traffic through another host, and this test will still pass. Exercise the existing Vitest E2E path with distinct fake endpoints, or extract a small host-routing boundary and assert its observable endpoints.

As per path instructions, tests under test/e2e/** should verify behavioral confidence through observable outcomes instead of source-text assertions.
