Outcome

On Deep Agents Code, shields down now reconstructs a missing /sandbox/.deepagents/.config-hash when config.toml is valid. The repair occurs immediately before the unlock step, after preflight, policy capture, and recovery authority succeed. Missing or unsafe configuration paths still fail without changing the hash or directory metadata.

Reason

Shields-down preflight treated .config-hash as a required protected file, although the existing lock path can reconstruct it from config.toml. The first repair placed that reconstruction before later policy-capture work, so a later failure could leave filesystem metadata changed while Shields remained up.

Fixes #10752

Changes

  • Allow only the exact Deep Agents hash path to be absent during the existing shields-down path preflight.
  • Continue no-follow validation for every protected object that is present and reject a missing or unsafe config.toml.
  • Call the existing writeAbsentConfigHashNoSymlinkFollow repair after policy and recovery authority are committed and immediately before unlock.
  • Keep the repair limited to the canonical Deep Agents target.
  • Use the existing Shields flow harness and filesystem test setup to cover successful repair, earlier failure, missing configuration, and unsafe path behavior.

Verification

  • npx vitest run src/lib/shields/policy-transition.test.ts src/lib/shields/seal.test.ts — 65 passed.
  • npm run checks:repository — passed.
  • npm run typecheck:cli — passed.
  • Changed-test growth guard — 33 passed.
  • Affected-test selection — 82 files and 1,198 tests passed; one unrelated Hermes MCP bridge test failed with the same result on the current-main-based [Ubuntu 26.04][Sandbox] snapshot restore fails deterministically when an unsafe file sits at the MCP projection path #10756 worktree.
  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/shields/policy-transition.test.ts src/lib/shields/seal.test.ts src/lib/shields/openclaw-transition.test.ts — 125 passed after the review repair and main integration.
  • npm run validate:pr — passed against main at f2ee031ffae355e2cc8bc5cb785f0c6f582f4ac9.
  • Normal commit and push hooks passed.
  • The existing Brev reproduction verified a fresh Deep Agents Code onboarding with a missing hash, successful shields down, DOWN status, and a reconstructed hash.
  • The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Review notes

The repair reuses the lock path’s existing no-follow implementation. The transition test runs the production repair command against a temporary configuration directory and proves the canonical record exists before unlock. The failure tests preserve the absent config and hash states and the directory metadata. The change does not add a second repair gate or a parallel test harness.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

shields down now permits a missing canonical Deep Agents .config-hash during preflight and repairs it after policy and recovery checks. Tests cover successful repair, missing configuration failure, posture preservation, canonical hash contents, and preflight routing.

Changes

Deep Agents hash repair

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preflight missing-path handling
src/lib/shields/index.ts, src/lib/shields/policy-transition.test.ts, test/helpers/hermes-unsafe-config-shields-harness.ts
Preflight permits only the canonical .config-hash to be missing. Unsafe paths and missing config.toml still fail.
Deferred hash repair
src/lib/shields/index.ts
Hash creation runs after policy application and recovery-authority verification, before configuration unlock. Failures use the existing rollback path.
Transition regression coverage
src/lib/shields/policy-transition.test.ts, src/lib/shields/seal.test.ts
Tests verify canonical hash repair, hash format and mode, missing-config rejection, posture preservation, and repair failure behavior.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to df1b1

The change allows Shields down to recreate a missing Deep Agents configuration hash while retaining path and authorization protections. A sudden interruption during hash publication could leave an incomplete record and require recovery, but the system remains fail-closed rather than falsely reporting Shields as restored; merge is reasonable with owner awareness of this bounded recovery risk.

Closing because #10722 removed the Shields commands and implementation from NemoClaw core. This PR changes only the removed Shields surface, so NemoClaw no longer needs this repair.
