fix(e2e): restore main retry reporter under raw Node

[rsliter]

Fixes a failure on canonical main: the retry-evidence reporter failed to start under the raw Node strip-types runtime used by GitHub Actions.

Outcome

The same-commit reliability reporter now loads under the raw Node strip-types runtime used by its workflow and successfully produces reports for failed main E2E runs. A process-level regression test exercises that exact production entrypoint.

Reason

Retry-evidence workflow run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33806890853 failed before collecting evidence for source E2E run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33806695525. Vitest transpilation had hidden TypeScript parameter properties that Node 22 strip-only mode rejects.

Root-cause key: same-commit-reliability/node-strip-types-parameter-properties

Source workflow: https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33806890853

Failed job: report-same-commit-reliability (job 100819491217)

Failure signature: SyntaxError [ERR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPESCRIPT_SYNTAX]: TypeScript parameter property is not supported in strip-only mode

Changes

• Replace parameter properties in the reporter error types with strip-types-compatible field declarations and assignments.
• Apply the same fix to the imported retry-policy error type that became the next raw-runtime parse failure.
• Add a subprocess test that launches the reporter with Node 22 --experimental-strip-types and proves it reaches environment validation instead of failing during module parsing. Import-only Vitest coverage was insufficient because Vitest transpiles the source.
• Bound the subprocess with a 20-second timeout and SIGKILL so a reporter regression cannot hang the test process.

Verification

• npx --no-install vitest run --project e2e-support test/e2e/support/same-commit-reliability.test.ts: 32 tests passed.
• npx --no-install oxfmt --check tools/e2e/same-commit-reliability.mts tools/e2e/retry-evidence.mts test/e2e/support/same-commit-reliability.test.ts: passed.
• npx --no-install oxlint tools/e2e/same-commit-reliability.mts tools/e2e/retry-evidence.mts test/e2e/support/same-commit-reliability.test.ts: passed.
• npm run checks:repository: passed.
• npm run validate:pr: passed after refreshing the branch to canonical main at c1d55e860.
• GITHUB_TOKEN=<redacted> SOURCE_RUN_ID=33806695525 node --experimental-strip-types --no-warnings tools/e2e/same-commit-reliability.mts: completed successfully and emitted the expected JSON and Markdown reports.
• Diff inspection: no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Review notes

CodeRabbit found that the process regression could hang without a deadline. Commit 7454557f6 adds the timeout and hard kill and the exact-head incremental review reports no actionable findings. All nine specialists in exact-head PR Review Advisor run 33829180694 passed with no required changes. npm run review:local was attempted. The sandboxed run could not reach npm; the network-enabled retry installed its trusted checkout but could not connect to the local OpenShell gateway and then hit an EACCES cleanup error.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The reliability reporter replaces TypeScript parameter properties with explicit readonly fields, preserves report output, and adds a bounded entrypoint test for Node’s strip-types runtime.

Changes

Reliability reporter compatibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Explicit fields and output preservation tools/e2e/retry-evidence.mts, tools/e2e/same-commit-reliability.mts	Error classes now assign explicit readonly fields in constructors. The non-passing-links heading insertion keeps the same output.
Entrypoint compatibility test test/e2e/support/same-commit-reliability.test.ts	The test launches the reporter with Node’s strip-types runtime, supplies empty required environment variables, enforces a 20-second timeout with SIGKILL, and verifies the missing-token failure without unsupported TypeScript syntax errors.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 74545

The reporter’s Node strip-types compatibility update and entrypoint regression coverage introduce no identified merge-blocking risk.

[rsliter]

Review disposition for 7454557f6: the valid unbounded-subprocess finding is fixed with a 20-second timeout and SIGKILL, and the 32-test focused suite plus npm run validate:pr pass. I am leaving the optional docstring-coverage warning unchanged because these internal helpers follow the surrounding repository style and their contracts are covered by focused behavior tests.

Candidate validation is complete for db91bc6e4. The remaining failed checks are inherited from canonical main, not caused by this PR.

CI run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33829181943 failed in CLI shards 1, 3, 5, and 6 after main merged PR #10815 at 2afbb2f09. Those failures are stale call expectations and incomplete mocks for the new runtime-selection arguments and exports in tests outside this PR's changed surface. The same signatures occur on unrelated PRs whose merge refs include that main commit. This PR changes only the retry-evidence reporter, its imported error type, and its focused regression test.

Candidate-owned evidence is green: 32 focused tests, formatting, lint, repository checks, CLI type-checking, validate:pr, commit and push hooks, CodeRabbit with no actionable findings, and all nine exact-head PR Review Advisor specialists in run https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33829180694.
