Summary

Fixes the five legacy-upgrade regressions introduced by #10132 and exposed by the OpenShell 0.0.106 missing-gateway diagnostic. During an upgrade the installer intentionally removes the old nemoclaw gateway; Unknown gateway 'nemoclaw' now enters the existing transport/unreachable recovery path.

The same live lanes exposed two later ordering/identity regressions already present on main. The hotfix now lets the intentional restart-safe recreation reconnect before revalidating the exact sandbox identity, and scopes #10044's sole-container proof to the exact replacement's OpenShell gateway namespace. A same-name orphan from the retired legacy gateway no longer invalidates the current gateway's replacement.

This restores the previously supported missing-gateway recovery path. It does not weaken identity-mismatch, authentication, policy-authority, exact-container-ID, Ready, sandbox-exec, or same-gateway ambiguity fail-closed behavior.

Affected lanes: run 32909322579.

Changes

  • Classify Unknown gateway as transport/unreachable in the existing CLI observer.
  • Exercise existing named-gateway recovery and successful retry.
  • Preserve handshake verification failed as identity_mismatch without recovery.
  • Wait for the intentionally recreated supervisor to reconnect before exact lifecycle revalidation.
  • Keep fix(onboard): finalize exact Docker sandbox handoff #10044's exact-ID and sole-container proof, scoped to the replacement's openshell.ai/sandbox-namespace so retired-gateway orphans do not create false ambiguity.
  • Update the shared onboarding test fixture to model the namespace proof.

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:
  • 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: exact-head advisor specialists, CodeRabbit, identity-bound unit coverage, local live Arm64 upgrade, and managed-image qualification passed.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue: CLI coverage aggregate waiver; every CLI shard passed, and the only aggregate failure is byte-identical current-main src/lib/policy/commands.ts coverage from test(policy): align command coverage loader #10408.

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

  • Tested on DGX Station
  • Tested commit: Not applicable; legacy Docker gateway upgrade lanes are CPU-host qualifications.
  • Station profile/scenario: Not applicable.
  • Result: Not applicable.
  • Supporting evidence: five-lane E2E run 32996253520.

Verification

  • PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change strengthens sandbox recovery and onboarding validation. It classifies unknown gateways, verifies exact replacement containers by namespace, propagates policy revalidation callbacks, improves recreation fingerprints and error reporting, and updates related tests and fixtures.

Changes

Sandbox recovery and onboarding consistency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Gateway observation and recovery
src/lib/adapters/openshell/..., src/lib/openshell-sandbox-list.test.ts
The CLI observer classifies unknown gateway as an unreachable transport failure. Sandbox-list tests validate parsed results, retries, command scope, and failure handling.
Replacement container validation
src/lib/onboard/openshell-docker-sandbox-containers.ts, src/lib/onboard/docker-gpu-patch-finalize.*, test/helpers/onboard-script-mocks.cjs
Docker queries support sandbox namespaces. GPU patch finalization validates one exact managed replacement container and rejects ambiguous namespace matches.
Policy revalidation contracts
src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create-*, src/lib/onboard/managed-workload/onboard-orchestration.ts
Deferred provider activation, cleanup, and upsert operations now accept and propagate policy-requirements revalidation callbacks. Policy refusal details remain in aggregate validation errors.
Recreate validation and observability
src/lib/onboard/sandbox-recreate-transaction.*, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-gpu-create-run-attempt.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-recreate-*, src/lib/policy/*
Receipt-bound fields no longer affect durable registry fingerprints. Supervisor reconnect precedes post-create revalidation. Recreate failures report redacted errors, and policy comparison uses canonical parsed objects.

Move parseSandboxPhase out of the state layer.

Exercise the real raw-output parser at the recovery boundary.

Both suites replace parseLiveSandboxEntries, so their recovery assertions do not prove that CLI-style status/output data is parsed correctly.

  • src/lib/registry-recovery-action.test.ts#L53-L55: add one public recovery case that uses the real parser and feeds raw output through captureOpenshell.
  • src/lib/registry-recovery-seeded-paths.test.ts#L54-L56: retain the scoped and host-wide output distinction, but use the real parser in one gateway-isolation case.

As per path instructions: “Prefer observable outcomes through the public boundary over source-text, private-shape, or mock-call assertions” and “Flag ... broad mocks that bypass the behavior under test.”

14-14: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Do not stub stripAnsi with identity.

The mock at Line 14 returns the input unchanged. isRecoverableSandboxListGatewayFailure depends on stripAnsi to classify colored CLI output. With the identity stub, no test proves that ANSI-wrapped failure text still matches the recovery patterns.

Use the real implementation for this helper and keep the module mock for the drift functions only.

♻️ Proposed change
-vi.mock("./adapters/openshell/client", () => ({
-  stripAnsi: mocks.stripAnsi,
-}));
+vi.mock("./adapters/openshell/client", async (importOriginal) => ({
+  ...(await importOriginal<typeof import("./adapters/openshell/client")>()),
+}));

Then add a case whose output carries ANSI escapes, for example \x1b[31mConnection refused\x1b[0m, and assert that recovery is attempted.

As per path instructions, tests must be reviewed for "broad mocks that bypass the behavior under test".

Inline comments:
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/connect.ts`:
- Line 1286: Replace the spawnSync sleep call in the polling loop with
sleepSync, passing Math.ceil(sleepFor * 1000) so the wait uses milliseconds and
remains reliable when the sleep executable is unavailable.
- Around line 573-574: Update GATEWAY_UNAVAILABLE_RE used by
outputShowsGatewayUnavailable to match the “Unknown gateway” diagnostic,
including the quoted gateway name. Add a readiness regression test covering a
nonzero raw-list result that emits this diagnostic and verifies the
missing-gateway recovery guidance is shown.

Apply the same fix in `@src/lib/openshell-sandbox-list.ts` around lines 30 - 41:
The same `Unknown gateway` diagnostic bypasses sandbox-list recovery when no
gateway name is provided.

In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/gateway-state.ts`:
- Around line 323-330: Extract a shared gateway-failure pattern covering the
existing matches plus client error (Connect), tcp connect error, No gateway
configured, and Unknown gateway, then use it in both the gateway-state
classification and getSandboxGatewayStateForStatus so these failures return
gateway_error and preserve recovery behavior.

In `@src/lib/actions/upgrade-sandboxes.ts`:
- Around line 310-315: Update the nonReadyLiveNames filter in the
upgrade-sandbox recovery flow to include entries with phase === null, while
retaining the existing non-Ready and non-Running checks. Ensure every observed
sandbox row with an unknown phase is treated as non-ready rather than absent.

In `@src/lib/runtime-recovery.ts`:
- Around line 54-60: Update parseSandboxListPhase to scan columns after the
sandbox name for a recognized SANDBOX_PHASES value, including age-suffixed rows
such as Ready followed by 2m and ago. Align its selection behavior with
parseLiveSandboxEntries so parseReadySandboxNames retains Ready and Running
sandboxes for recovery decisions.

Maintainer admin-merge override for exact head da51a4b44b372325f6daa81812e526505ab99556:

  • The five legacy-upgrade lanes passed 5/5 in E2E run 32996253520 on production head 5ff730b3b9ffb393b2648f86cb88cdfce5fc7829; the exact head adds only the shared unit-test mock for the new namespace proof.
  • Exact-head managed-image publication passed all 10 jobs in run 32999149006.
  • Every exact-head CLI shard passed. The aggregate is red only because src/lib/policy/commands.ts reports 88.88% against its 100% file ratchet.
  • src/lib/policy/commands.ts and src/lib/policy/commands.test.ts are byte-identical to current main e0be69ad9b4bc9a882ef5f7b75f38f0f9c7ea5a2; their last change was test(policy): align command coverage loader #10408, which was merged into this PR branch externally with main.

Accepting this single unrelated current-main coverage-ratchet non-success check for the requested admin merge. No policy coverage changes are being added to this hotfix.

## Summary

Docker final handoff could remove the previous OpenShell-managed sandbox
container and leave its exact replacement stopped. Capturing `openshell
sandbox list` output fixes the original missing-stdout defect, but live
E2E exposed a second interaction with #10319: a selected `Error` or
`Deleting` lifecycle row was treated as released when Docker showed one
exact stopped replacement. OpenShell could then continue retiring that
same name and delete the restarted replacement.

This change now requires a captured, phase-bearing OpenShell listing
that omits the selected sandbox name before the replacement may restart.
It then retains the existing exact-container and final `Ready`
acknowledgement proofs.

## Related Issue

Addresses #10153 root cause 6.

## Changes

- Capture retiring lifecycle state instead of expecting stdout from the
streaming OpenShell runner.
- Require explicit `No sandboxes found` or a successful phase-bearing
listing in which the selected sandbox name is absent before restart.
- Treat selected `Error` and `Deleting` rows as still name-owning, even
when Docker shows one exact replacement.
- Keep exact sole-container identity, gateway namespace, startup
command, exec, and final `Ready` acknowledgement proofs.
- Retry only the exact bare `SUPERVISOR_DISCOVERY_PENDING` transition
marker; diagnostic-bearing failures remain terminal.
- Require exactly one final legacy keepalive handoff receipt and reject
conflicting valid receipts.
- Document the bounded discovery and final-handoff contracts.
- Add unit, integration, E2E-support, and live E2E regression coverage
for the full lifecycle sequence.

## Type of Change

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

## Quality Gates

- [x] Tests added or updated for changed behavior
- [ ] Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification: Not
applicable; this escaped interaction required new ordered lifecycle
coverage.
- [ ] Tests not applicable — justification: Not applicable.
- [x] Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight,
onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
- [x] Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver
recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: Exact-name lifecycle
release remains fail-closed. Capture failure, malformed or phase-less
output, `Error`, `Deleting`, ambiguous containers, namespace drift,
restart failure, and non-`Ready` final state cannot authorize success.
No credential, authorization, dependency, or privilege boundary changes.
- [ ] Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer —
check name, approval link, and follow-up issue: None accepted.

## Documentation Writer Review

- [x] Documentation reviewed against the completed changes
- Result: `docs-updated`
- Evidence: `docs/reference/commands.mdx` and
`docs/reference/troubleshooting.mdx` describe the exact transition
marker, bounded retries, name-absence requirement, and
rollback-unavailable state. Agent variants were regenerated and
inspected. `npm run docs:sync-agent-variants` and `npm run docs` passed
with zero Fern errors.
- Agent: Codex Desktop

## DGX Station Hardware Evidence

- [ ] Tested on DGX Station
- Tested commit: Not applicable
- Station profile/scenario: Not applicable
- Result: Not applicable
- Supporting evidence: `scripts/prepare-dgx-station-host.sh` is
unchanged.

## Verification

- [x] PR description includes a `Signed-off-by:` line and every authored
commit is signed
- [x] `npm run validate:pr` passed after refreshing and merging
`origin/main` at `d67d2aaee4ec11c06ca7657a8dbb0adfd45b9d6c`
- [x] Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set — 172
focused CLI and representative timeout-reproduction tests passed
serially; 135 integration and E2E-support tests passed, including the
real `Error -> Deleting -> name absent -> restart -> Ready` handoff and
the no-absence refusal case
- [ ] Applicable broad gate passed — an advisory local `npm test` run
was stopped after a concurrent NemoClaw semantic-phase E2E process
saturated the 10-core host and caused widespread unrelated timeouts.
Every sampled failure passed with one worker, and all changed-area tests
passed within the stressed run. Remote CI owns the clean broad gate.
- [x] Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or
waivers
- [x] No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
- [x] `npm run docs` builds without errors
- [x] Doc pages follow the [style
guide](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
- [ ] New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)
— Not applicable; no new doc pages.

### Live E2E

- Prior exact-head `gateway-guard-recovery` run at
`1093a53a52e1527c563120f98c6c2f0e583f9b14` reproduced the hidden `Error
-> Deleting` handoff race after initial recovery and inference had
passed.
- Fresh exact-head managed-image qualification and a focused
`gateway-guard-recovery` dispatch are required before approval.
