fix(onboard): bound preflight docker info probe (Fixes #10645)

[deepujain]

Summary

Bounds the onboarding docker info probe to three seconds and reports timeout-specific remediation with the exact assessed Docker authority.

Fixes #10645

Changes

• Route the structured Docker probe through an injectable AssessHostOpts dependency.
• Preserve and shell-quote the assessed Docker authority in remediation output.
• Suppress misleading permission and daemon-start advice for timeout failures.
• Cover the public assessment and advisory boundaries.

Verification

• Direct pre-commit, commitlint, pre-push, and git diff --check origin/main...HEAD gates passed on exact head 990f1af292b055cd9058a4e7fd71181d390b96fd against main de7f565dd062b6f5affe12218ad825c97efee042.
• The focused matrix passed all 18 tests.
• All three commits are GitHub SSH-verified and DCO-signed.
• GitHub reports the branch is 0 commits behind main.
• No DGX Station hardware evidence is required for this host-probe control-flow change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Docker preflight now bounds docker info probes, records timeout state, and reports a dedicated blocking advisory. Docker-group and daemon-start advisories are skipped after a timeout. Tests cover assessment, remediation output, and advisory ordering.

Changes

Docker info timeout handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bounded Docker preflight probe src/lib/onboard/preflight.ts, src/lib/platform.ts, src/lib/onboard/preflight-docker-info-timeout.test.ts	docker info uses runCaptureEx with DOCKER_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS. Timeout state and DOCKER_HOST authority are preserved in HostAssessment. Tests validate assessment and remediation output.
Timeout advisory routing src/lib/advisories/checks/host/docker.ts, src/lib/advisories/checks/host/docker.test.ts, src/lib/advisories/checks/host/index.test.ts	A blocking docker_info_timeout advisory is registered. Docker-group and daemon-start advisories are excluded after a timeout. Advisory ordering tests are updated.
Provider-owned readiness filtering src/lib/onboard/preflight.ts	planHostAdvisories can filter Docker host advisories when the provider owns host readiness.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 60f82

Onboarding now bounds Docker checks, but remote or injected host checks may probe the local Docker daemon instead of the intended host, leading to incorrect readiness guidance. This should be corrected before merge.

the related test to assert the configured authority value.

In `@src/lib/onboard/preflight.ts`:
- Around line 574-576: Update AssessHostOpts and the preflight Docker probe
around runCaptureEx so the structured Docker info dependency is injectable and
defaults to runCaptureEx, ensuring injected or remote transports are used
instead of a direct local call; remove the bypass. In
src/lib/onboard/preflight.ts lines 574-576, route the existing Docker argv and
DOCKER_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS through that dependency. In
src/lib/onboard/preflight-docker-info-timeout.test.ts lines 11-19, inject a
timed-out structured result and assert the dependency receives the Docker argv
and timeout, proving the public entrypoint reaches the new path.

Rebased onto current main and rechecked c59b15d. The structured Docker info probe is injected through AssessHostOpts, preserves the assessed authority, and renders the configured endpoint safely in remediation.

Validated 16 focused tests plus npm run typecheck:cli and git diff --check. All commits are DCO-signed and signature verified.

Rebased the unchanged patch onto current main d6e8543; exact head is e806fa7. npm run validate:pr passes after rebuilding the nested workspace output. Current Advisor failures exhausted five provider retries with HTTP 429, no body, and zero review output; NVIDIA workflow approvals remain external.

✨ Thanks for the fix. This addresses the silent hang during onboarding when docker info doesn't respond.

[deepujain]

Current main now contains the broader Docker authority fix from #10379. It bounds both docker info and docker version at 15 seconds, keeps timeout and unavailable results distinct through dockerProbeIssue, and emits the docker_probe_inconclusive recovery advisory. I verified main with the CLI build and 57 focused Docker authority, timeout, and advisory tests, so this PR is now redundant and I am closing it in favor of the merged implementation.
