Outcome

Hermes Portable connect --probe-only now restores the exact published managed Ollama runtime after an authorized user-session recreation leaves that runtime stopped. Direct launch and interactive connect remain verification-only, and failed recovery restores the prior stopped state.

Reason

After a replaceable-HOME transition, the sandbox and gateway can recover successfully while the receipt-owned managed inference runtime remains stopped. The final route probe then returns unavailable even though the existing published runtime can be resumed without creating or selecting a replacement.

Related to #10423

Changes

  • Add a Portable Hermes probe-only recovery transaction that reconstructs runtime authority from the active receipt, registry, private publication receipt, and committed gateway journal.
  • Resume only the exact stopped published runtime once; validate an already-running runtime without starting it.
  • Keep published-receipt finalization rollback-safe through outer authority and final in-sandbox route verification.
  • Preserve the existing registry row and gateway provider generation; do not search alternate state roots, select another runtime, or use environment/model fallbacks.
  • Keep direct launch and interactive connect mutation-free.
  • Add deterministic success, idempotence, drift, failure, and rollback regressions at the connect, Hermes authority, and provider boundaries.

Verification

  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/actions/sandbox/connect-flow.test.ts src/lib/actions/sandbox/gateway-state-observe-mode.test.ts src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-inference.test.ts src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-recovery.test.ts src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/podman-host-local-inference-published-resume.test.ts — 5 files and 118 tests passed after rebasing onto current upstream/main.

Review notes

This change touches receipt, runtime, and recovery authorization paths. It keeps mutation restricted to the probe-only flow, pins the exact published runtime, preserves existing durable bytes, and proves rollback before returning a recovery failure.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Hermes Portable Ollama recovery now validates published authority, restores registry and runtime state, and supports verification-only resume. Sandbox connect probes invoke recovery only in probe-only mode. Gateway capture uses receipt-owned command authority. Tests cover rollback, idempotency, and probe invocation.

Changes

Hermes Portable recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Published authority and runtime resume
src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-gateway-transaction.ts, src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/*, src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-inference.test.ts
Published receipts, journals, providers, and runtime state are revalidated. Published resumes finalize without rewriting the receipt.
Portable registry authority and rollback
src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-authority.ts, src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-registry-recovery.test.ts
Registry inspection validates identity and lifecycle state. Recovery starts only the matching stopped registry and restores it after failures.
Ollama recovery engine
src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-inference.ts, src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-recovery.test.ts
Recovery validates authority, reuses running runtimes, resumes stopped runtimes, verifies routes, and rolls back dependent state.
Probe-only connect integration
src/lib/actions/sandbox/connect.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/probe/hermes-portable-inference-recovery.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/gateway-state.ts, test/support/connect-flow-test-harness.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/*test.ts
Connect probes require probeOnly: true and invoke Hermes recovery. Gateway capture rejects environment overrides and uses receipt-owned authority. Interactive setup skips recovery.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 04544

The change restores the exact published inference runtime only in probe-only recovery, but a rollback failure could obscure the original recovery error and make failed recovery harder to diagnose. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for this bounded rollback-path risk.

Finalize published resumes before committing the host-local route.

When request.resumeReceipt is present, host-local-inference-routing.ts calls runtime.resumeManaged(...), and setup-inference.ts later calls hostLocalRoute.prepared.commit(). Podman marks this startup as publishedResume, so commit() throws before receipt writing. Call validateBeforeCommit() followed by finalizePublishedResume(...) for this path.

152-173: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Consider sharing the Podman engine and GPU qualification setup with createHermesPortableOllamaRuntimeAuthority.

Lines 152-173 repeat the environment build, engine creation, GPU qualification, and assertEngineCurrent logic from createHermesPortableOllamaRuntimeAuthority (lines 191-221). Recovery therefore creates two independent engine sets and qualifies GPU/CDI authority twice per probe, which duplicates nvidia-smi, nvidia-ctk, and podman info executions. This copy also drops the podmanAuthorityDeps, captureGpuDevices, and captureCdiDevices injection points that the existing function supports, so the two paths can diverge.

Extract one helper that returns { engines, authority, qualification, assertEngineCurrent } and use it in both places.

392-411: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Already-running registry rollback can throw and mask the original recovery failure, and no test proves that path. In the already-running branch, rollback is aliased to assertCurrent, so a rollback call re-runs authority assertions for a registry that was never mutated. src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-inference.ts (lines 589-593) converts any throw from rollback() into "recovery failed and exact stopped-registry restoration was not proved", which discards the real cause. The recovery test double never throws from rollback, so this behavior is not covered.

  • src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-authority.ts#L392-L411: make rollback a released no-op in this branch, or report an assertion failure as a distinct non-restoration outcome.
  • src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-recovery.test.ts#L174-L190: make the double track released state and add a case where rollback throws, then assert the surfaced error message.

## Outcome

Hermes Portable sandbox builds now use the published multi-platform base
image that contains the OpenSSL 3.5.7 package inventory required by the
current final Dockerfile. The public installer and the managed-image
validation path therefore select the same reviewed immutable base.

## Reason

The Hermes final Dockerfile assertions were refreshed for OpenSSL 3.5.7,
but its default base index still selected the preceding package
inventory. A fresh Ubuntu 22.04 Portable install failed at the final
security-package attestation while CI passed with an override to the
newer published base.

### Related issues

Part of #9211.

Relates to #10357.

## Changes

- Pin `agents/hermes/Dockerfile` to published OCI index
`sha256:d30f58b0374c7d281df07c126cc257baaf63eb051264a575b96099ec037d5e5d`.
- Preserve the existing dependency-review source binding; exact image
selection remains qualified at the OCI and managed-image boundaries.
- Record the exact producer run, source commit, native manifests, SLSA
attestations, OpenSSL assertions, and managed-image validation in the
internal dependency review.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions producer run `33139220833`, attempt 1 — both Hermes
base platforms, index publication, both complete managed images, and
cohort promotion passed.
- Exact OCI inspection — index resolves to `linux/amd64` manifest
`sha256:c63cef760ad8bea079764bcde3678595820fcacb15d39100238760b158830374`
and `linux/arm64` manifest
`sha256:c3e831704ce2d59e528a3cf33766a8c3b4cfabc0d6b60cb0ae4b2dccc251e9a9`;
both SLSA attestations bind source
`324a886fd05b01f6756bae0371ea503c651fbd11`.
- `npx vitest run --project integration
test/agents/hermes/hermes-dependency-review.test.ts` — 7/7 passed.
- `npx vitest run --project cli

- `npx vitest run --project integration

CLI, plugin, or E2E-support test was selected.
- `npm run build:cli` and `npm run typecheck:cli` — passed.
- `npm run checks:repository` — passed.
- Normal `pre-commit`, `commit-msg`, and `pre-push` hooks — passed.

## Review notes

The valid Advisor findings were resolved at GitHub-Verified commits
`92d4c28d4b95f8313bb97ae2f4c4d61c62f027a5` and
`12f681125e537941da4203a196f5ae8713010dee` by removing the unapproved
Dockerfile-digest-to-Markdown source-shape assertion and consolidating
duplicated base-image provenance into one structured ledger. Production
bytes are unchanged from the field integration candidate.

This changes the security-sensitive default sandbox base selector. It
does not change installer, lifecycle, recovery, policy, credential, or
runtime logic. The retained failed field VM remains untouched; a fresh
exact integration candidate with #10505 is the remaining Portable field
gate.

## Outcome

Podman disposable readiness-probe cleanup now settles delayed exact-ID
and deterministic-name removal state after one removal command. Cleanup
returns only after both identities are absent within the fixed deadline,
without retrying the mutation.

## Reason

`cleanupExactProbe()` previously inspected the disposable probe
immediately after `podman rm`. Rootless Podman can acknowledge removal
before exact-ID and name-index reads publish the absence, which caused
an indeterminate cleanup failure after otherwise valid provider work.

## Changes

- Settle the pinned full probe ID before removal. Retry only timed-out
read operations under the existing three-attempt inspect policy.
- Issue at most one full-ID removal command. Never remove by name or
retry the removal mutation.
- Use a fresh 30-second read-only settlement window after removal.
Require exact-ID and deterministic-name absence before success.
- Revalidate caller and engine authority around every read, mutation,
final absence result, and rollback boundary.
- Reject malformed output, replacement identity, label or specification
drift, foreign name ownership, invalid clocks, deadline overruns, and
unproved rollback state.
- Add deterministic source tests for delayed absence, returned command
errors with proved absence, hard-deadline boundaries, authority drift,
foreign state, and rollback precedence.

## Review notes

This PR changes the shared Podman host-local-inference provider only. PR
#10505 remains merged and unchanged. The cleanup correction uses exact
runtime identity and existing provider authority; it does not change a
durable receipt, inference route, or lifecycle contract.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved cleanup of temporary local inference resources by verifying
exact identity and confirmed removal.
* Added bounded retries for delayed cleanup, timeouts, and transient
inspection failures.
* Prevented cleanup when resource details are ambiguous, stale, invalid,
or no longer match the expected environment.
  * Added safeguards for invalid or non-advancing clocks.

* **Tests**
* Expanded coverage for cleanup retries, deadlines, restoration
failures, resource reuse, and environment changes.

## Outcome

Hermes Portable probe-only connections now recover published inference
only for `ollama-local`. Descriptor-backed providers keep their existing
verification-only route and no longer require an Ollama receipt.

## Reason

The merged Hermes Portable recovery path sent every probe-only provider
through Ollama recovery. A `compatible-endpoint` registry entry
intentionally has no host-local Ollama receipt, so the route failed
before its descriptor verification began.

### Related issues

Follow-up to #10505.

## Changes

- Dispatch Hermes Portable probe-only inference by the exact configured
provider.
- Keep `ollama-local` on the published-runtime recovery path and
preserve fail-closed missing or malformed receipt handling.
- Keep descriptor-backed providers and interactive launch on the
existing verification-only path.
- Add regressions for descriptor verification without Ollama recovery
and invalid Ollama receipts before registry mutation.

## Verification

- Focused owner tests — 2 files and 38 tests passed.
- Focused connect composition — 3 files and 98 tests passed.
- `npm run test:changed` — 32 growth checks and 10 files / 130 affected
tests passed.
- `npm run checks:repository` — passed.
- `npm run build:cli` — passed.
- `npm run typecheck:cli` — passed.
- Normal pre-commit, commit-message, and pre-push hooks — passed.
- GitHub reports commit `2a193d0139108b88e8a10c661599255e11bba01c` as
Verified with reason `valid`.
- The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

## Review notes

Independent review approved the exact frozen three-file snapshot. Merge
remains held for one exact descriptor-backed Hermes Portable field probe
on this commit.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **Bug Fixes**
* Improved Hermes Portable connection handling for compatible inference
endpoints.
* Added more reliable readiness checks for inference routing and sandbox
launch behavior.
  * Restricted automatic recovery to supported local Ollama connections.
* Invalid or incomplete Ollama recovery information is now rejected
before recovery begins.
* Active sandbox forwards are now recognized alongside running forwards,
with improved ownership and reachability validation.

* **Tests**
* Added coverage for successful endpoint routing, active forward
recovery, and invalid recovery scenarios.
