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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Hermes Portable connect and probe flows now verify non-Ollama routes directly and recover only Ollama routes. Forward recovery treats running and active forwards as live. Tests cover route validation, receipt validation, active-forward handling, and ownership checks.

Changes

Hermes Portable routing and forward recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conditional route verification and recovery
src/lib/actions/sandbox/connect.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/connect-hermes-portable-inference-recovery-errors.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/experimental/hermes-portable-ollama-recovery.test.ts
Probe-only connect and launch-readiness validation verify non-ollama-local routes directly. Ollama recovery remains conditional. Tests cover compatible endpoint routing and reject missing or malformed hostLocalInferenceReceipt values before registry recovery.
Live forward status handling
src/lib/actions/sandbox/forward-health.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/probe/*, test/process-recovery/process-recovery-primitives.test.ts, test/support/hermes-portable-forward-recovery-fixture.ts
Forward health recognizes running and active statuses as live. Recovery accepts active forwards, restores stopped and dead forwards, rejects duplicate active owners, and probes exact active owners for reachability. Fixtures support active, dead, running, and stopped records.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fc5f9

The PR changes probe routing and recovery behavior, while the remaining risk is limited to a test that does not fully verify launch-readiness ordering. The change is mergeable with owner awareness and a follow-up to strengthen that assertion.

## Outcome

Warm Hermes Portable probes and launches can reuse an accepted
launch-readiness result while the exact receipt, registry row, command
authority, and semantic health remain current. Stale, unhealthy,
ambiguous, or changed authority still enters the existing recovery and
rollback path.

## Reason

The warm Hermes path repeated full lifecycle, inference, and forward
qualification after common launch-readiness checks had already proved
those states healthy. Warm probes measured about 49.6 seconds and warm
launches about 30.5 seconds on the retained L40S baseline, while the
equivalent OpenClaw probe was about 1.3 seconds.

### Related issues

Relates to #10556.

## Changes

- Carry one receipt-qualified Hermes command authority through every
OpenShell-backed readiness observation and revalidate it before and
after each observation.
- Retain a detached full registry-entry snapshot through initial,
changed-epoch, and accepted-readiness checks so provider, model,
endpoint, credential, and policy changes fail closed.
- Reuse accepted lifecycle, inference, and forward health on the warm
probe path; preserve the full recovery transaction for stale or
unhealthy state.
- Remove the duplicate unconditional lifecycle recovery before a warm
Hermes TUI exec while retaining currentness checks before execution.
- Add deterministic tests for warm reuse, schema-5 requalification,
changed readiness epochs, command/receipt/socket/registry drift, stopped
recovery, and forward/inference rollback.

## Verification

- `vitest run --project cli` over the ten changed test files — 235/235
passed.
- Coordinated registry-currentness subset — 54/54 passed.
- `npm run typecheck:cli` — passed.
- `npm run build:cli` — passed.
- `npm run checks:repository` — passed, including 32/32 growth
guardrails and exact 2,642-file Vitest project membership.
- Normal pre-commit, commit-message, and pre-push hooks — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Diff review — no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

## Review notes

This changes a schema-6 authority and recovery boundary. Independent
review of binary diff
`de781ecb3e3f4d4116a5476fd07d578667f66ba7cc6a6fb3572df4ec37e637a1` found
all nine security categories passing; an independent focused rerun
passed 235/235 tests. The draft remains merge-held until exact-head
five-sample warm probe and launch qualification completes on a fresh
matching L40S VM.
