Outcome

Pinned managed llama.cpp image pull failures now report a fixed failure layer, an allowlisted diagnostic code, and exit status instead of stopping with an opaque pull error. Raw pull output never crosses into installer logs or E2E artifacts. The generic GPU live E2E keeps one proof for each real external boundary while falling from 552 to 397 lines and from 70 to 29 expect calls.

Reason

The failed full-main run discarded the pull response, so its root cause cannot be reconstructed. A later occurrence must distinguish authentication, storage, runner network, invalid dependency, registry availability, daemon behavior, or an honestly unclassified result without exposing arbitrary registry, credential-helper, or daemon output. The live target also repeated deterministic catalog, state, runtime-argument, status, and third-party log assertions that obscured its end-to-end contract.

Related issues

Refs #10558.

Relates to #10517.

Changes

  • Classify image-pull stdout, stderr, and captured command-error messages in memory, then emit only a fixed failure layer, allowlisted diagnostic code, and exit status.
  • Suppress arbitrary pull text. Deterministic tests use the production container-engine pull boundary, including an opaque credential format across every pull source that reaches neither the returned failure nor installer logs.
  • Remove duplicated catalog, state-shape, exact image, runtime-argument, status, health, model-list, and third-party log-content assertions from the generic GPU live target.
  • Remove the obsolete GPU E2E compatibility child, its environment bridge, and four support tests now that the dedicated llama.cpp target is the single live owner.
  • Retain live proofs for no public port publication, unauthenticated request rejection, physical GPU use, host and sandbox inference, agent completion, and owned cleanup.
  • Add no retry, image pre-seeding, selector, matrix, dependency, or runtime behavior change.

Verification

  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/inference/llama-cpp/managed-installer.test.ts src/lib/security/redact.test.ts - 112 passed.
  • npx vitest run --project integration test/security/secret-redaction.test.ts - 43 passed.
  • npx vitest run --project integration test/automation/pull-requests/growth-guardrails.test.ts - 32 passed.
  • Focused E2E-support tests for GPU helpers and workflow planning - 124 passed.
  • E2E mock/live parity policy tests - 15 passed; the exact PR-diff parity check also passed.
  • npm run typecheck:cli - passed.
  • npm run checks:repository - passed, including architecture, project membership, title, registration, E2E unit-block, and growth checks.
  • npm run test:e2e-phases:check - 134 semantic phase tests across 90 files passed.
  • Targeted npx oxlint, Oxfmt, the formatter guard, and git diff --check - passed.
  • Previous-candidate commit and push hooks passed, including repository checks, gitleaks, semantic E2E phases, commitlint, and CLI type-checking. Current-head push gates and GitHub checks will run after publication. The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.
  • CI / Pull Request - previous candidate 896909cc4d passed, including all 12 CLI shards, merged coverage, static checks, build and type-check, installer integration, and plugin tests. GitHub checks own current-head qualification after the conflict-free base refresh.
  • PR Review Advisor - previous candidate passed; behavior, test design, architecture, dependency use, documentation, migration, and trust found no defect requiring a change. GitHub checks own current-head review after the conflict-free base refresh.
  • E2E / Self-Hosted PR Qualification - prior head 249e92bc68 passed, including the generic NVIDIA GPU live target, artifact upload, and cleanup. Exact final-head qualification is pending.

Review notes

The live target was not run locally because it mutates real Brev, Docker, GPU, and OpenShell state. GitHub's prior-head qualification passed the external gate; exact final-head qualification is pending.

Deterministic ownership already exists for removed assertions: serving catalog and package contracts own recipe and image identity; host-local runtime and managed lifecycle tests own entrypoint arguments; managed status tests own status and doctor rendering. Third-party startup wording has no replacement assertion. Docker logs remain artifact evidence only.

The historical failure remains root-cause unknown because its raw pull response was not recorded. This PR deliberately references rather than closes #10558. A later recognized signature will provide a credential-safe failure layer and diagnostic code for the root-cause fix; an unknown signature remains honestly unclassified.

An advisory npm run test:changed run reported 1,522 of 1,527 passing with five unrelated timeout or order failures. Four passed when rerun in isolation outside the sandbox. src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot-baseline-exclusion-output.test.ts still reaches its existing five-second timeout and does not share an owner with this diff.

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: no-docs-needed
  • Evidence: The change provides bounded credential-safe failure diagnostics, removes an obsolete second live owner, and prunes its bridge-only support tests without changing setup, prerequisites, defaults, commands, or supported behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The installer now classifies image-pull failures from separate diagnostic streams and excludes raw output. The generic GPU E2E test uses the declarative recipe and validates runtime boundaries, inference, GPU activity, and qualification evidence.

The E2E setup removes preset and host-environment checks. It validates the recipe, qualification commit format, request guard, running container, process, and unpublished ports.
Validate inference and qualification evidence
test/e2e/live/llama-cpp-generic-gpu.test.ts
Host and sandbox requests require non-empty responses. Qualification evidence retains recipe, model, GPU process, GPU memory, and unauthorized-status results.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a46bc

Image-pull failures now produce bounded, redacted diagnostic layers, but some daemon failures containing network-related text may still be labeled incorrectly, which could mislead troubleshooting. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on classification precedence.

Reviewed exact head a46bc6b. One correctness blocker remains: daemon connection failures that also contain broad network phrases are classified as runner network because the first-match table evaluates the network rule first. That can send operators to the wrong failure layer. Define daemon precedence and cover a mixed-signal message. Product scope, commit verification, DCO, secret handling, and the nine-category security review are otherwise clean; the exact-head focused installer suite passed 38/38. Current CI and automated review are still settling.

const sources = [result.stdout, result.stderr, result.error?.message].filter(
(value): value is string => typeof value === "string" && value.trim().length > 0,
);
const layer = classifyImagePullFailureLayer(sources.join("\n"));

[P2] Preserve daemon-error precedence. The classifier returns the first matching layer, but runner network is checked before daemon behavior. Real Docker errors commonly combine error during connect with dial tcp or connection refused, so those daemon failures are mislabeled as runner network. Move the daemon-specific rule ahead of the broad network rule, or encode explicit precedence, and add a mixed-signal regression that expects daemon behavior.

Reviewed exact head 2634729. The original daemon-precedence blocker is fixed and the mixed-signal regression passes. One new security blocker remains in the added diagnostic excerpt: pattern-based redaction cannot make arbitrary Docker or credential-helper output safe to echo. Keep the bounded causal evidence required by #10558, but derive it from allowlisted failure signatures/structured fields (or otherwise fail closed) and add opaque credential-helper-output coverage. Exact-head focused installer tests pass 38/38, CLI type-check passes, all seven commits are GitHub Verified, DCO is green, and the exact-head live generic-GPU E2E passed. Required CI is separately red only on the known SDK-package orchestration defect fixed by approved #10568.

: "A pull-output signature matched this layer.";
const status =
result.status === null ? "Exit status unavailable." : `Exit status: ${String(result.status)}.`;
return `Failure classification: ${layer}. ${evidence} ${status} Redacted pull diagnostic: ${imagePullDiagnosticExcerpt(sources)}`;

[P1] Do not echo pattern-redacted third-party pull output. Docker credential-helper failures can include arbitrary helper text (for example, error getting credentials - err: exit status 1, out: followed by an opaque value), and redactFullWithUrls does not remove values that are not credential-shaped. This path therefore copies an attacker/helper-controlled secret into onboarding output and the E2E artifact. Preserve #10558's bounded causal evidence using allowlisted matched signatures or structured fields rather than the whole stdout/stderr/error tail, and add a regression proving an opaque helper value never reaches the returned reason or logs.

Re-reviewed current head 249e92b. The new warning text does not resolve this blocker. An exact-head reproduction passes error getting credentials - err: exit status 1, out: opaque-pull-secret through redactFullWithUrls unchanged, and imagePullFailureDiagnostic still copies that arbitrary value into the returned failure reason and E2E artifact. The exact-head PR Review Advisor trust specialist independently reports the same blocker. Keep only allowlisted or structured classification evidence and add an opaque-value regression covering the returned reason, logs, and captured artifact. Exact-head local verification: installer/redaction 112/112, secret-redaction integration 43/43, workflow planning 87/87, and CLI type-check all pass; the obsolete E2E bridge removal is otherwise clean.

Reviewed exact head 40730bd585c085faeb718e5fcbc583094b8b79c5. The original P1 is resolved: pull stdout, stderr, thrown-error text, streaming callbacks, and opaque helper values are suppressed from the returned reason, installer log, and downstream artifact; only fixed allowlisted layer/code values and process status remain. All 11 commits are GitHub Verified, DCO is green, the focused installer/redaction/diagnostics suites pass 142/142, the isolated compiled-redactor integration replay passes, CLI build and type-check pass, and the nine-category security review is clean. I verified the other exact-head Advisor suggestions are not blockers: the proposed shared formatter still pattern-redacts arbitrary third-party output and would recreate the leak; the Ollama restart block is whitespace-identical to main; and the injected pull seam predates this PR. One new behavior branch still needs the inline regression below. Exact-head full CI and CodeRabbit are also not yet settled.

{ status: 1, error: new Error("error during connect: dial tcp: connection refused") },
"container-runtime-failure",
],
["unclassified", { status: 7, stderr: "opaque pull failure" }, "unclassified-pull-failure"],

[P2] Cover a failed pull with no process status

imagePullFailureDiagnostic now has a distinct status === null path for spawn failures, but every row here supplies a numeric status and the assertions do not protect Exit status unavailable.. A capture can return { status: null, error }; without this boundary case, a regression could omit the classification or accidentally treat the failed spawn as success while this suite stays green. Add a row (or one focused case) with status: null plus a classified error, and assert the fixed classification, Exit status unavailable., failed installation, and absence of the raw error payload.

Approved exact head 64945418158bbd553b9d43017de7e363f10947fc. The requested status: null regression is no longer applicable: this commit removes the test-only pull seam and uses the production ContainerEngine result contract, which always normalizes command status to a number. Pulls now run through the qualified host-local-inference engine, while failure output remains confined to in-memory classification and only fixed layer/code/status text escapes.

All 12 commits are GitHub-verified; DCO and every required check are green; current CodeRabbit and PR Review Advisor runs are complete. The Advisor request to retain normalized raw causal text is unsafe for opaque credential-helper values and would recreate the original leak, so it is not actionable. The Ollama restart suggestion targets a block unchanged by this PR; the current diff only removes the obsolete compatibility bridge. Exact prior-head local installer/redaction evidence passed 142 tests, and the current exact-head GitHub build/typecheck is green.

Nine-category security review: Secrets and Credentials PASS; Input Validation and Data Sanitization PASS; Authentication and Authorization PASS; Dependencies and Third-Party Libraries PASS; Error Handling and Logging PASS; Cryptography and Data Protection PASS; Configuration and Security Headers PASS; Security Testing PASS; System Security PASS.
