Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds a native Windows qualification installer, but current validation can lose provenance if the installer rewrites itself and can validate files outside the intended install root; additional timeout and recovery-path concerns remain.

installerSha256 value. Preserve the existing CandidateSha argument and

expression so its arguments are valid across PowerShell 5.1 parsing, using a
single-line call or explicit parameter continuations. Preserve the existing
LocalApplicationData and NVIDIA\NemoClaw\native-candidate values and ensure the

- Around line 364-368: Update the recovery catch around the backup cleanup to
preserve the verified published version when restoring the locked backup fails:
ensure $versionRoot is returned to its published location, retain the backup as
an orphaned directory for later cleanup, and avoid leaving the install root
empty. In the same recovery path, store $cleanupError under an accurate

The current qualification cannot yet provide reliable evidence for its stated purpose. CodeRabbit identified both defects on this commit, and I confirmed them against the current script.
The control proves process-start event delivery only after 3000 ms, but the applied installer audit drains for 1000 ms. Reuse one calibrated interval so a late child-process event cannot be reported as absence. Also, Register-WmiEvent without -Action produces no job object, so subscription is null and the unconditional Remove-Job -Job $Audit.subscription cleanup can fail after an otherwise successful transaction. Remove that job cleanup and retain event unregistration.
Please fix both paths and add focused evidence that the qualification completes and detects a child process that arrives near the calibrated boundary. The unrelated CLI shard timeout and failed Advisor jobs are not the basis of this review.

Outcome
PR #10799 now builds a literal native ARM64 Windows package for NemoClaw itself:
NemoClawSetup-0.1.0-windows-arm64.exe— double-clickable WiX Burn setup application.NemoClaw-0.1.0-windows-arm64.msi— embedded in the setup executable and separately downloadable.The package installs the NemoClaw CLI, Node.js 22.22.3, OpenClaw 2026.7.1, native ARM64
openshell.exeandopenshell-gateway.exe, and the pinned Microsoft MXC 0.8.0 ARM64 runtime includingwxc-exec.exeandwxc-host-prep.exe. It installs per-machine under%ProgramFiles%\NVIDIA\NemoClaw, registers with Add/Remove Programs, adds the installedbindirectory to machine PATH, and supports standard MSI repair, reinstall, upgrade identity, rollback, and uninstall behavior.The customer-facing setup executable does not invoke PowerShell. The native package and installed runtime path do not use WSL, Bash, Ubuntu, Docker, or a Linux virtual machine.
This remains a native Windows candidate/preview, not a production-support claim.
