ci(installer): trust OpenShell dev MUSL sandbox template

[prekshivyas]

Outcome

The base-trusted OpenShell installer parser recognizes the exact follow-up template that selects MUSL sandbox archives for development-channel installs, without changing current installer runtime behavior.

Reason

NemoClaw verifies pull-request installers with parser code from the PR base. As documented in scripts/check-installer-hash.sh, trust-anchor rollout is intentionally two-step: the trust record must land before the behavior change in #10565 can pass the fail-closed installer hash gate.

Part of #10565

Changes

• Add the exact reviewed SHA-256 identities for the development-channel MUSL selector across supported release, historical-path, and qualification-cohort templates.
• Preserve all four historical v0.0.106 installer template identities and their existing tests.
• Construct and validate the exact follow-up template inside the existing trust-test owner, without a new helper module or runtime behavior change.
• Record the prospective-template assertion as one reviewed security source-shape contract.

Verification

• Contributor validation: normal pre-commit hooks passed, including repository checks, gitleaks, source-shape policy, growth guardrails, and commitlint; the pre-push TypeScript CLI gate passed.
• Tests: all 6 installer-template trust-transition cases passed; the dependent full installer-hash suite passes 84/84; source-shape policy reports 51 approved contracts, zero unapproved cases, and zero invalid exceptions.
• Stable release proof: npm run check:installer-hash passed for every current v0.0.106 asset and manifest.
• Dependent proof: fix(e2e): use OpenShell dev MUSL sandbox artifact #10565's base-controlled check-hash accepts this exact template, and its executable tests cover x86-64 and arm64 dev-MUSL installation while preserving stable GNU pins.
• Secrets review: the diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Review notes

• Sensitive-path review: the new allowlist entry is one exact digest; the current operational template and stable release pins are unchanged, and unlisted templates still fail closed.
• Advisor follow-up: the one-use cross-file helper was removed; the exact prospective template remains checked in the existing trust-test owner under an explicit security-contract exception, matching the repository's required two-step rollout.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The installer trust tests now cover a development MUSL sandbox template while stable builds retain GNU selection. The pull request workflow now validates optional SDK package requirements and reports invalid values explicitly.

Changes

Installer trust validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Development MUSL template selection test/install/installer-homebrew-formula-reuse-trust.test.ts	The helper selects GNU assets for stable builds and MUSL sandbox archives for development builds on x86_64 and aarch64. The test adds the trusted digest.
Trusted template verification test/install/installer-homebrew-formula-reuse-trust.test.ts, scripts/checks/extract-installer-pins.mts, ci/source-shape-test-budget.json	Shared trust assertions verify the development MUSL template. The 0.0.106 comments document the two-step rollout. The source-shape budget permits the test.

Pull request workflow contracts

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Optional SDK package requirement handling .github/workflows/pr.yaml, test/automation/pull-requests/pr-workflow-contract.test.ts	The workflow validates boolean required values before string conversion. The fixture supports optional requirements, and the contract test verifies required=false when no workflow runs match.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to faac4

The PR adds exact installer trust data and updates workflow validation; the remaining bounded risk is that missing or non-boolean required values lack regression coverage. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness or a follow-up test.

Reviewed latest PR commit 6d289fe8ef2362919fb910658af07b6f37182ef1 against base SHA 621be91676428847e167cef47c05a288b4edf7cf. I found no blocking defect.

• The exact SHA-256 allowlist entries authorize only the reviewed prospective development-channel MUSL installer templates. The base-controlled parser still rejects unlisted installer bytes.
• The current installer still selects GNU sandbox archives, so this prerequisite does not change runtime behavior.
• The resolved CodeRabbit finding is outdated and does not apply to the current diff.
• Focused local validation passed 90 of 90 installer trust tests. All 73 current GitHub check entries are complete, with no failures. GitHub reports MERGEABLE, and contributor gates confirm the DCO declaration and eight Verified commits.

Security review: PASS in all nine categories.

1. Secrets and credentials: no credential flow or sensitive data changed.
2. Input validation and data sanitization: exact digest matching and the unlisted-template rejection remain fail closed.
3. Authentication and authorization: the base-controlled CI trust boundary is unchanged.
4. Dependencies and third-party libraries: the PR adds no dependency or downloaded artifact.
5. Error handling and logging: digest mismatches still fail with non-sensitive diagnostics.
6. Cryptography and data protection: the existing SHA-256 identity check remains unchanged.
7. Configuration and security headers: the PR adds exact identities without a wildcard or permissive fallback.
8. Security testing: positive template acceptance and negative unlisted-template evidence passed locally and in CI.
9. System security: PR-controlled installer source remains bounded inert input, and no control moves from its authoritative boundary.

No security findings.
