Outcome

Binds MCP provider, adapter, policy, status, restart, removal, and recovery work to the sandbox's recorded OpenShell gateway, workspace, and TLS authority. Local validation and no-op paths remain local and do not require gateway authority.

Reason

After provider inspection identified a recorded sandbox target, later MCP lifecycle steps could still inherit ambient OpenShell selectors and reach a same-named sandbox elsewhere. The full MCP transaction must reuse one frozen target through its reads, writes, rollback, and status checks.

Related issues

Refs #10514
Refs #9833

Changes

  • Resolve one recorded runtime selection immediately before the first external MCP operation and reuse it across provider, adapter, policy, readiness, and rollback boundaries.
  • Pin Hermes, OpenClaw, and Deep Agents adapter commands and provider attachment checks to the same target.
  • Accept provider absence only for the exact provider-specific diagnostic and preserve state on indeterminate failures.
  • Keep missing-input, empty-state, prepared-only cancellation, and other local paths independent of host gateway state.
  • Add deterministic lifecycle, hostile-selector, exact-absence, crash-consistency, ownership, and lazy-authority tests.

Verification

  • npm run typecheck:cli — passed.
  • Focused MCP CLI suites — 314 tests passed.
  • Focused MCP integration suites — 138 tests passed.
  • npm run checks:repository — passed.
  • Normal pre-push TypeScript hook — passed.
  • git diff --check and a credential review of the diff — passed; no secrets, API keys, or credentials are included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • MCP bridge, sandbox recovery, rebuild, restart, status, and teardown operations now consistently use the selected gateway, workspace, and TLS configuration.
    • Non-default workspaces are supported for forwarding operations.
    • Gateway targets are resolved canonically with validation for invalid configurations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented ambient environment settings from redirecting operations to the wrong gateway.
    • Improved missing-provider detection and gateway error reporting.
    • Added safeguards against gateway drift, incomplete configuration, and unintended host-local recovery.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The MCP lifecycle now uses an explicit, operation-scoped runtime selection. Provider, adapter, policy, credential, status, add, destroy, rebuild, restart, recovery, and snapshot flows preserve the selected gateway, workspace, and TLS authority.

Changes

MCP runtime authority

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime contracts and command execution
src/lib/actions/sandbox/gateway-target.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-provider-inspection.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/provider-command.ts, src/lib/policy/index.ts
Adds canonical persisted gateway resolution. Provider and policy commands accept explicit runtime selections. Provider absence handling requires an exact diagnostic and exit status.
Adapter lifecycle propagation
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapter-*.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-adapters.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-provider-*.ts
Adapter inspection, capability checks, registration, teardown, provider mutation, attachment, credential readiness, and tool discovery use the selected runtime.
MCP lifecycle orchestration
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-add-restart.ts, mcp-bridge-restart.ts, mcp-bridge-status.ts, mcp-bridge-remove.ts
Add, restart, status, and removal flows resolve or reuse one runtime selection and pass it through provider, policy, credential, and adapter operations.
Destroy and rebuild persistence
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-destroy*.ts, mcp-bridge-rebuild*.ts, mcp-bridge-state.ts
Destroy and rebuild preparation results retain runtime selection. Later validation, teardown, rollback, restoration, and finalization reuse that selection.
OpenShell recovery and restore execution
src/lib/actions/sandbox/process-recovery.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/forward-recovery.ts, src/lib/state/*, src/lib/onboard/*
Recovery, forwarding, session detection, sandbox restoration, and authoritative onboarding apply the selected runtime environment and reject inappropriate host-local supervisor control.
Regression coverage
src/lib/actions/sandbox/*.test.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/*.test.ts, src/lib/state/*.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/*.test.ts, test/agents/**/*.test.ts, test/mcp/**/*.test.ts
Tests cover gateway pinning, TLS resolution, environment isolation, exact absence diagnostics, lifecycle propagation, authority drift, prepared-only paths, and fail-closed Hermes probing.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~100 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f0261

Snapshot-restore tests can pass despite a regression that selects the wrong gateway or TLS authority. Updating the fixture to use the recorded target closes this bounded coverage gap.

Requesting changes because the selected-target probe can fall through to an unselected privileged recovery path. Hermes commands use the frozen OpenShell target, but executeGatewaySupervisorAction resolves a host-local Docker container by sandbox name and receives no runtime selection. A same-name local sandbox can therefore be recovered instead of the selected one. Please carry immutable selected-target authority through supervisor control, or fail closed when that authority cannot prove the local container.

Exact head reviewed: c83432d11c7909674d4257bcddafd9be62dfeaea.

P0

  • None.

P1

  • One inline finding.

I found no additional P0/P1 in the exact stacked diff. Accepted issue #10514 supplies the product decision.

Approval is also withheld because this stacked head is conflicting: its recorded base is c0699c2b9569cde1cd743064b302fdf5006316b7, while the current base branch is at ce876c25a7d47a9fe9948e4e6d0efa599836a5a4. Exact-head CI and E2E are green, but CodeRabbit skipped the non-default stacked base and Advisor evidence is incomplete (six of nine specialist artifacts are missing). Both commits are GitHub Verified. Re-evaluate after the P1 is fixed on a refreshed exact SHA and automated review evidence completes.

Reviewed exact head 2ca0dca against current main and the approved dependency. Verified immutable selected-runtime continuity across MCP provider, policy, adapter, credential, snapshot, rebuild, rollback, remove, restart, and destroy paths. Fixed lazy authority resolution for empty and prepared-only rebuild state, retained a fresh snapshot target lookup before projection repair, and found no remaining blocking issue. Focused tests, CLI typecheck, commit hooks, signature verification, and pre-push checks pass.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make the runtime-selection fake target-sensitive.

getMcpProviderInspectionRuntimeSelectionMock always returns nemoclaw-8091 and default. The restore tests therefore do not detect stale-target selection or dropped optional TLS authority. Make the fake derive its result from the supplied sandbox, or add a public-boundary test that exercises the real selection helper.

As per path instructions, tests must provide behavioral confidence and must not bypass the behavior under test with broad mocks.

All previous runs

## Outcome

Keeps an MCP-bearing sandbox destroy operation on one recorded OpenShell
runtime target from confirmation through final cleanup. A hostile or
stale ambient selector cannot redirect the session check, policy work,
provider cleanup, sandbox deletion, or gateway cleanup decision.

## Reason

Destroy combines several read, mutation, rollback, and cleanup phases.
Freezing only the MCP provider call is insufficient if a later phase can
inspect or delete a same-named sandbox through a different gateway or
workspace.

### Related issues

Refs #10514
Refs #9833

## Changes

- Freeze the persisted MCP runtime selection before destroy confirmation
and reuse it throughout preflight, Shields, provider, identity, delete,
and cleanup phases.
- Bind sandbox list, identity, wipe, deletion, final-live-sandbox, and
gateway-cleanup commands to that exact target.
- Preserve forced OpenClaw adapter-scrub behavior and abort recovery
while carrying the same runtime selection.
- Require the recorded selection at MCP configuration-mutation guards
now owned by the complete destroy transaction.
- Add hostile-ambient and same-selection regression coverage across
success, refusal, and recovery paths.

## Verification

- `npm run typecheck:cli` — passed.
- Focused destroy CLI suites — 147 tests passed.
- `npm run checks:repository` — passed.
- Normal pre-push TypeScript hook — passed.
- `git diff --check` and a credential review of the diff — passed; no
secrets, API keys, or credentials are included.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Sandbox destruction now consistently uses the selected OpenShell
gateway, workspace, and TLS configuration across session checks,
cleanup, and deletion.
- Prevents conflicting environment settings or gateway changes from
affecting destructive operations.
- Preserves sandbox ownership state when cleanup cannot safely proceed.
  - Reports the resolved runtime selection after successful destruction.

- **Tests**
- Added regression coverage for runtime selection, gateway cleanup,
environment overrides, and pending sandbox deletion scenarios.

Approved exact head 95312e6. This head is the current stacked result after #10816 merged into #10815; its tree is byte-identical to independently reviewed #10816 head c29306a, and GitHub reports the squash commit signature valid. The underlying #10815 and #10816 target-binding paths, prepared-only behavior, tests, CLI build/typecheck, repository checks, hooks, and signatures were reviewed and verified. GitHub reports the PR mergeable; remaining blocked state is check-policy status, not an unresolved code finding.

## Outcome

Keeps an MCP-bearing sandbox rebuild on one recorded OpenShell runtime
target across preflight, delete, recreate, restore, process recovery,
and final relock. Target drift fails closed with the original sandbox
preserved and a concrete recovery action.

## Reason

Rebuild crosses gateway recovery, policy, Shields, DCode, onboarding,
SSH, plugin restore, messaging, and process-recovery boundaries. Each
dependent phase must reuse the same target or a transaction can inspect
one sandbox and mutate another with the same name.

### Related issues

Refs #10514
Refs #9833

## Changes

- Resolve and pin one MCP runtime selection before live rebuild probes,
then retain it in the recreate journal and preparation state.
- Carry the selection through DCode checks, policy and Shields work,
deletion, inner onboarding, SSH and state restore, messaging, process
recovery, and final relock.
- Consolidate DCode gateway selection on the shared recovery helper
while preserving its distinct failure contract.
- Replace ambient OpenShell selectors at every affected subprocess
boundary and restore the caller's environment on success and failure.
- Add target-drift, hostile-selector, journal, restore, recovery, and
post-restore regression coverage.

## Verification

- `npm run build:cli` — passed.
- `npm run typecheck:cli` — passed.
- Focused rebuild CLI suites — 413 tests passed and 14 expected skips.
- Focused rebuild integration suites — 225 tests passed.
- `npm run checks:repository` — passed.
- Normal pre-push TypeScript hook — passed.
- `git diff --check` and a credential review of the diff — passed; no
secrets, API keys, or credentials are included.

## Review notes

Stack 4 of 4 extracted from #10621. Depends on #10816; review this PR
against `codex/10621-destroy-target`.

The broad parallel changed-test run encountered shared portable-host
lock contention. The same owning suites passed in serial, which is the

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Rebuilds and recovery operations now consistently use the selected
OpenShell gateway, workspace, and TLS settings.
* Authoritative rebuild resumes preserve and restore their selected
runtime configuration across preflight, restore, and post-restore steps.
* Sandbox restoration, messaging, MCP, inference, and configuration
checks support the selected runtime context.

* **Bug Fixes**
* Prevented ambient endpoint and token settings from overriding the
selected runtime.
* Operations now fail safely when the selected gateway is unavailable or
mismatched.
* Host-local supervisor controls are blocked when they could target the
wrong runtime.

202-205: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Derive the mocked MCP runtime selection from the sandbox target. The managed Deep Agents restore path passes currentTarget to the selector, but the fixture ignores it and returns a fixed gateway without localTlsDir. The lifecycle tests assert that constant for sandbox records without gateway metadata, so gateway or TLS-authority propagation regressions can pass. Return a target-derived selection that includes localTlsDir.

26-26: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the redundant environment-stub cleanup.

The cli Vitest project sets unstubEnvs: true, which calls vi.unstubAllEnvs() before each test. This callback has no environment-dependent teardown, so remove line 26.

## Outcome

Adds the canonical dated documentation entry for v0.0.120 and records
the release's material user-facing changes before tag planning. The
Hermes rebuild guide now also documents the fail-closed immutable-base
requirement for legacy sandboxes without an image hint.

## Reason

Release planning requires a merged `docs/changelog/2026-09-04.mdx`
containing exactly one `## v0.0.120` heading. The existing automation
draft does not contain that required changelog and does not cover the
full release scope, so this PR provides a fresh, independently reviewed
release-docs update.

### Related issues

Relates to #10919

## Changes

- Add three release-note lead paragraphs and detailed, user-facing
v0.0.120 changes with canonical documentation routes.
- Cover configuration export and doctor (#11015, #11012); Hermes
runtime, recovery, and Discord policy (#10595, #11071, #11024, #10927,
#10983, #10988, #10999, #11019, #10682); Shields retirement (#10722,
#10996); OpenShell forwarding and runtime authority (#10695, #10814,
#10815, #10810); onboarding and recovery (#10690, #10900, #11046,
#10882, #10864); inference behavior (#10956, #10910, #11070); Deep
Agents MCP projection safety (#10911, #10909); and provider-profile
validation (#10884, #10895).
- Scope the legacy Hermes immutable-base rebuild guidance to the
Hermes-rendered recovery page.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run --project integration
test/generation/check-docs-links.test.ts
test/generation/check-docs-published-routes.test.ts
test/generation/post-merge-docs.test.ts` — 3 files and 125 tests passed.
- `npm run docs` — passed with 0 errors and 5 existing Fern warnings.
- Independent documentation audit — reconciled all 71 commits in
`v0.0.119..origin/main`, validated all 29 PR links and published routes,
and found no unsupported product claims or remaining corrections.
- Normal `pre-commit`, `commit-msg`, and `pre-push` hooks — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- GitHub commit verification —
`a22fe0989fd72c7daaa9b2e7a4734a3edc069aba` is Verified with reason
`valid`.
- Secret review — the diff contains no secrets, API keys, or
credentials.

## Review notes

The existing automation draft #10919 is intentionally left untouched.
This PR supersedes its release-docs content with the complete canonical
changelog and a variant-correct Hermes recovery update.
