Outcome

nemoclaw uninstall --all-gateway-ports --yes now discovers the resolved custom OpenShell gateway state directory recorded for each gateway port and completes scoped cleanup without requiring the original override in the uninstall shell. Before this change, backup succeeded but the custom-state child pass refused cleanup because its sandbox namespace could not be proven.

Reason

Onboarding supports NEMOCLAW_OPENSHELL_GATEWAY_STATE_DIR for concurrent gateways, but the all-ports sweep previously discarded the ambient override for child ports and had no durable per-port value to recover. It therefore reconstructed the default state directory, could not find the custom gateway namespace, and failed closed while leaving resources behind.

Fixes #10665

Changes

  • Persist the resolved absolute custom OpenShell gateway state directory in the sandbox's gateway registry row during successful onboarding. The current requirement is durable per-port cleanup provenance; the consumer is the all-gateway-ports uninstall sweep.
  • Read every discovered port's registry before cleanup, reject malformed or conflicting recorded paths before any pass mutates state, and inject only the matching recorded directory into each child pass. A direct ambient-env change is insufficient because each child resolves a different gateway port and must not inherit another port's override.
  • Preserve explicit selected-port overrides, legacy records without the new field, default-directory behavior, namespace/ownership proof, and trusted-parent validation.
  • Include the affected port and recorded path in recovery diagnostics.
  • Add regression coverage for persistence, mixed legacy/current rows, malformed and conflicting paths, child-port isolation, selected-port recovery, explicit-override precedence, and fail-before-mutate behavior.

Verification

  • Before-fix E2E on H7YR45LQ41, base 4b74e8e386afd38ad0b6c7980611ebd4b5b7f486: onboarded three real worktree-CLI sandboxes on ports 19765, 19766, and 19767; port 19766 used a unique custom state directory. Exact ./bin/nemoclaw.js uninstall --all-gateway-ports --yes without the override backed up nc10665b, then printed Refusing scoped gateway cleanup because its sandbox namespace cannot be proven and exited nonzero.
  • After-fix E2E on the same host and production path: the registry contained the resolved custom path, the exact all-ports command printed Using recorded OpenShell gateway state directory ... for port 19766, removed that directory and all isolated registrations, and exited 0.
  • The branch was refreshed from the E2E base to canonical main 9169ab0790d9a1be68b439731c01b696f75ff085; the intervening commits changed only two .github/workflows/** files. The issue diff applied without conflict, and focused validation was rerun.
  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/actions/uninstall/all-gateway-ports.test.ts src/lib/actions/uninstall/run-plan-gateway-segregation-selected-port.test.ts src/lib/state/gateway-registry.test.ts src/lib/onboard/sandbox-registration.test.ts — 4 files, 82 tests passed.
  • npx vitest run --project integration test/automation/pull-requests/growth-guardrails.test.ts — 33 tests passed.
  • npm run typecheck:cli — passed.
  • npm run checks:repository — passed.
  • npm run validate:pr — passed, including pre-commit, commitlint, pre-push, repository checks, CLI type checking, and secret scanning.
  • npm test and npm run test:changed were attempted but did not complete cleanly on the shared host. Every captured failure class was reproduced on detached clean current base or tied to the unchanged host-global portable lock held by simultaneous foreign test runs: corporate-CA Dockerfile fixtures (29 matching base failures), exact-file access-time drift (matching base failure), and portable-host lock contention/derivative timeouts. Issue-focused tests and type checking remained green.
  • Diff inspection found no secrets, API keys, credentials, or unrelated tracked changes.

Review notes

The exact whole-host E2E also exercised the pre-existing global orphan-process cleanup after every port succeeded. That scan is not introduced or changed by this diff. Docker resources were isolated in a dedicated Colima profile; the host-process observation is recorded separately from the custom-state-dir result.

The two existing docs sentences that describe non-selected child passes as always using default directories are conservative but incomplete after this change. Per repository policy, docs/** updates are deferred to Docs / Author Post-Merge Catch-Up; the documented explicit-override recovery remains valid for legacy rows without persisted provenance.

Four optional PR Review Advisor specialist jobs were non-green for demonstrably infrastructure-only reasons and produced no review text or code findings:

  • Specialist / Dependency use, Specialist / Test design, and Specialist / Trust each exhausted four provider retries with 429 status code (no body) and settled with textBytes=0.
  • Specialist / Operations failed while pulling the advisor sandbox image with bytes remaining on stream, before the specialist sandbox could be created.

All other advisor specialists completed, CodeRabbit completed, and the required build, type-check, test-shard, CodeQL, image, E2E support, DCO, and commit-lint checks passed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Custom OpenShell gateway state-directory settings are now preserved when creating and registering sandboxes.
    • Previously recorded state directories are automatically recovered for gateway operations when unambiguous.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Uninstall operations now use the correct state directory for each gateway port and preserve explicitly selected settings.
    • Uninstall stops safely when conflicting or invalid state-directory records are detected.
    • Error messages now include configured state-directory details and guidance for restoring the original path.

Gateway state directory lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Record gateway state directories
src/lib/onboard/..., src/lib/state/registry/...
Onboarding carries the configured state directory through sandbox finalization and persists it in registry entries. Tests verify the recorded value.
Validate and resolve recorded directories
src/lib/state/gateway-registry.ts, src/lib/state/gateway-registry.test.ts
Registry loading validates non-empty canonical absolute paths. Helpers recover one directory per gateway port and reject conflicting values.
Restore directories during uninstall
src/lib/actions/uninstall/all-gateway-ports.ts, src/lib/actions/uninstall/all-gateway-ports.test.ts, src/lib/actions/uninstall/run-plan.ts
The uninstall sweep resolves directories before running passes, applies matching child or selected environments, preserves explicit overrides, and reports recovery or namespace details.
