Outcome

OpenClaw security E2E launch turns now retry one positively classified transient hosted-inference outage in a fresh session after a one-second backoff. Authentication, authorization, policy, malformed-response, cleanup, and unknown failures continue to fail closed without retrying.

Reason

A transient NVIDIA hosted-inference ServiceUnavailableError can leave the launch session with a structured error assistant record even though the security posture itself did not fail. This made the live security lane fail for an external provider availability event instead of retrying once with bounded behavior.

Related issues

Fixes #10978

Changes

  • Authorize a retry only from an appended OpenClaw assistant record with an exact empty content array, stopReason: "error", API openai-completions, provider route inference, a recognized transient provider error class, and structured status 500, 502, 503, 504, or 529.
  • Reject structured authentication, authorization, invalid-key, forbidden, credential, permission, policy-denial, blocked, and prohibited failure signals even when they are wrapped in a retryable 5xx status.
  • Keep PTY output diagnostic-only so untrusted terminal text that mimics LiteLLM errors cannot authorize a retry.
  • Keep retry eligibility in the launch producer until cleanup completes; re-qualify evidence after a fast PTY exit and after the final wait, then emit a run-ID-bound final marker only when baseline, host-session, and PTY-monitor cleanup all succeed.
  • Retry that exact final marker once after one second with a fresh run ID, fresh turn inputs, fresh session lifecycle, cleanup, and a separate artifact suffix.
  • Report provider-unavailable exhaustion distinctly while preserving immediate failure for every other launch error.
  • Give the locked-image acceptance test 30 minutes and assert that it retains at least five minutes beyond the composed readiness-probe and two-session retry budget.
  • Centralize the 70-minute full-E2E test deadline and the standard-profile 115-minute job timeout; keep the Portable 135-minute and macOS 150-minute job timeouts owned by their workflows. Their live E2E has a 70-minute timeout, and all other steps share the remaining job time.
  • Bind the Portable main push trigger, but not its unrelated rootless PR job, to the shared timeout contract; route contract-only catalogue changes to exactly full-e2e and security-posture-openclaw; and document the enforced macOS job and live-test timeouts in both E2E operating guides.
  • Raise the staging Brev SSH wrapper to 75 minutes and bind it to the 70-minute full-E2E contract plus five minutes of remote-shell and Vitest lifecycle headroom.
  • Add producer-to-consumer coverage for every accepted HTTP status (500, 502, 503, 504, 529) and both transient error classes, plus exhaustion, run binding, cleanup, terminal spoofing, auth signals, route/API identity, timeouts, isolated Advisor fixtures, and workflow causality.

Verification

  • npm run validate:pr — passed on committed head 49e86588c, including formatting, repository checks, secret scanning, semantic E2E phases, zero source-shape cases, growth guardrails, commitlint, and CLI typechecking.
  • Provider-focused E2E-support suite — 40 tests passed; 37 Linux-only cases skipped on macOS, including malformed content, appended-message, and structured policy-denial rejection.
  • Linux container proof under Node 24 — all seven real producer-to-retry rows passed with the first PTY child exiting immediately after recording provider evidence, covering every accepted status, both transient error classes, fresh retry success, and exhausted provider-unavailable classification.
  • Latest Advisor-fix suite — 121 tests passed: 119 Portable, workflow-plan, standard-profile, and security-posture cases plus 2 staging SSH-wrapper and ExecStart cases.
  • CI-pinned Node 22.23.2 and npm 10.9.4 reviewed-audit gate — source, archive, and all four locked runtime graphs passed; the source graph reported no vulnerabilities at any severity.
  • npm run e2e:assertions:check — exact ratchet passed with 1,810 direct assertions across 86 files.
  • npm run test:projects:check — exact membership passed for 2,626 candidate files across 7 projects.
  • npx tsx scripts/checks/e2e-mock-parity.mts --base origin/main --head HEAD — passed.

Review notes

This PR is intentionally limited to the E2E harness behavior needed by #10978. The earlier OpenShell forwarding/recovery changes and documentation were removed because #11157 already resolved #11084 under the accepted process-agnostic forwarding scope.

The retry classifier is fail-closed. The in-sandbox verifier is the sole source of provider-outage eligibility, and the shell producer emits the run-bound marker only after successful cleanup. TypeScript schedules the bounded retry only for that exact final marker.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OpenClaw launch sessions classify transient provider failures and retry eligible launches once. OpenShell forwarding validates process identity and listener ownership during startup and recovery. Dashboard forwarding, documentation, and E2E coverage reflect the updated behavior.

Changes

Launch and forwarding resilience

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider failure classification
test/e2e/live/launch-agent-turn.ts, test/e2e/support/launch-agent-turn.test.ts
Provider-unavailable markers now require matching provider diagnostics and empty structured-message evidence. Other failures retain their normal classification.
Bounded launch retry
test/e2e/live/launch-agent-turn.ts, test/e2e/support/launch-agent-turn-provider-availability.test.ts, test/e2e/mock-parity.json, test/e2e/live/launch-readiness-lease-acceptance.test.ts
Eligible provider failures retry once with distinct artifacts and environment identifiers. Authentication, policy, invalid-response, invalid-evidence, unstructured, and unknown failures do not retry.
Forward process lifecycle
src/lib/adapters/openshell/forward-service.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/forward-service.test.ts
Forwarding tracks process identity, validates listener ownership, waits for stable startup observations, sanitizes diagnostics, and blocks unsafe signaling, adoption, and retries.
Forward recovery and dashboard integration
src/lib/actions/sandbox/forward-recovery.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/forward-recovery-declared-ports.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/dashboard.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/resolve-shared.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/sanitized-capture.ts
Recovery reports validated forward state and preserves selected runtime settings. Dashboard and fixed-port forwarding use the shared launcher.
Validation, documentation, and execution budgets
test/e2e/support/launch-agent-turn-session-evidence.test.ts, docs/get-started/*, docs/manage-sandboxes/recover-rebuild-sandboxes.mdx, docs/changelog/2026-09-04.mdx, .github/workflows/portable-profile-e2e.yaml, tools/e2e/target-catalogue.mts, test/e2e/live/*, test/e2e/support/*
Session-evidence qualification, forward behavior, timeout settings, and workflow parity receive updated coverage and documentation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0d1cf

The forwarding recovery implementation is mergeable with bounded risk, but its new malformed-forward diagnostic is not reliably enforced by the added test.

92-92: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use a distinct local port for each case that reaches the settling map.

settlingChildren is module-level state in forward-service.ts and has no reset hook. The cases at Line 92 and Line 125 reuse target port 18789, so they pass only while every earlier case leaves that key clear. A future case that ends in the "remained running" path for port 18789 makes both of these throw "still settling". Give each case its own port, as the settling and unbound cases already do.

♻️ Proposed change
   it("retries only after the prior service process exited (`#11084`)", () => {
+    const retryTarget = { ...target, localPort: 18_792, targetPort: 18_792 };
     const spawnDetached = vi
       .fn()
       .mockReturnValueOnce({ pid: 51, unref: vi.fn() })

Requesting changes on 4fe9f99ccb6257da887b42069a05ff3330c77aaa for two P2 regressions in the fail-closed session-evidence contract from #10978:

  1. Malformed provider-message content can authorize a retry.
  2. A provider error returns retry eligibility before later appended messages are validated.

Both findings are reproduced with the actual embedded OPENCLAW_SESSION_EVIDENCE_SCRIPT, using fresh baselines and session files. These cases must remain non-retryable; a successful second attempt can otherwise hide invalid first-session evidence. The inline comments describe the required changes and regression cases.

Input with otherwise valid provider-error fields Base 1b3cd36 PR 4fe9f99
Missing content 2: invalid evidence 3: provider unavailable
content: null 2: invalid evidence 3: provider unavailable
Object-valued content 2: invalid evidence 3: provider unavailable
One expected turn, but [user, provider_error, extra_assistant] appended 2: invalid evidence 3: provider unavailable

Validation: 150 focused E2E-support tests passed; 37 Linux-only tests were skipped on macOS with Node 25.9.0. One local socket test required an isolated rerun outside the execution sandbox. PR CI and the existing live OpenClaw security job passed for this candidate. Those passing checks do not cover the invalid combinations above.

The earlier forwarding changes are absent from the current diff. These findings concern E2E qualification and failure classification.

Addressed both candidate-owned findings from the required Review Advisor run 34326153136 in signed commit 49e86588c:

  • Structured provider 5xx records now fail closed when their error text indicates policy/permission denial, blocking, or prohibition.
  • Turn qualification samples PTY liveness before reading session evidence, so a child that exits immediately after recording a valid provider failure receives one final qualification. Final post-wait status 3 also follows the authenticated provider-unavailable marker path.

Verification:

  • npm run validate:pr
  • provider-focused E2E-support suite: 40 passed, 37 Linux-only skipped on macOS
  • Linux Node 24 container producer proof: 7/7 passed, with the first PTY child exiting immediately after publishing provider evidence
  • assertion census: 1,810 direct assertions across 86 files
  • growth guardrails: 45/45

Follow-up Advisor run 34330553633 is infrastructure-incomplete, not candidate-failing:

  • Eight specialists completed successfully and reported no issue: verification, behavior, migration, operability, simplification, workflow causality, security, and documentation.
  • Architecture ownership never executed its review because sandbox provisioning failed while pulling the pinned image: ImagePullFailed: pull Docker image failed: bytes remaining on stream.
  • The full PR CI set on 49e86588c is green (39 pass, 13 expected skips), and the head remains unchanged.

Per the Advisor workflow guidance, I am not rerunning a missing specialist or changing the candidate for this unrelated image-pull failure. Maintainer review is requested with the architecture specialist explicitly recorded as missing due to infrastructure.

Re-reviewed commit 49e86588c9ee1146e525b9e597355fb05b8269d9. No blocking code findings remain.

All four reported cases are addressed:

  • Missing, null, and object-valued provider content is rejected.
  • Extra messages and messages after a provider error are rejected before retry eligibility is returned.
  • Structured policy and permission denials remain non-retryable.
  • A provider error recorded immediately before the TUI exits receives a final evidence qualification.

Validation:

  • 155 focused tests passed locally; 37 Linux-only cases were skipped on macOS.
  • I inspected the retained results from CI run 34329071555: all 77 tests across the three provider/launch support files passed on Linux, including the seven immediate-exit producer-to-retry cases.
  • Direct verifier cases reject the original malformed inputs, policy denial, permission denial, and authentication failure while preserving valid outage classification. The deterministic exit-race reproduction now reaches the retry classification.
  • Current PR CI checks are green. All eight available reports from Advisor run 34330553633 contain no findings.

The remaining gate is incomplete Advisor evidence: Architecture job 102398143453 failed before analysis with ImagePullFailed: pull Docker image failed: bytes remaining on stream and produced no report. This is an infrastructure failure; it is not a code finding or a passing architecture review.

The prior code-change requests are satisfied. Approval remains pending the maintainer decision required by the repository PR follow-up policy for the missing Advisor report.

Approved commit 49e86588c9ee1146e525b9e597355fb05b8269d9. No blocking findings remain after reviewing the complete change and its repairs.

The two findings from my earlier review are resolved: malformed provider content is rejected, and the complete appended sequence is validated before granting retry eligibility. The subsequent Advisor findings are also resolved: policy and permission denials remain non-retryable, and a provider error recorded just before TUI exit receives a final evidence check.

Validation:

  • 155 focused tests passed locally; 37 Linux-only cases were skipped on macOS.
  • The retained results from CI run 34329071555 confirm all 77 tests across the three launch/provider support files passed on Linux, including all seven immediate-exit producer-to-retry cases.
  • Direct verifier and deterministic timing reproductions confirm the reported failures are fixed while valid transient outages remain retryable.
  • Current PR CI is green. All nine reports from Advisor run 34330553633 contain no findings. The Architecture review completed successfully on attempt 2, completing the previously missing evidence.

Security review: PASS across all nine repository categories. Retry remains bounded, requires successful cleanup, and uses a fresh run ID and inputs. Workflow permissions and credential boundaries are preserved.

This approval supersedes my earlier request for changes.

Reconfirming approval of 49e86588c9ee1146e525b9e597355fb05b8269d9 after the requested live E2E validation.

E2E run 34339706126, attempt 1, succeeded. All eight selected suites passed across nine executions. The retained results contain 14 passed tests, 0 failures, and 2 intentional skips.

Execution Result
Full E2E PASS
Security posture — OpenClaw PASS
Security posture — Hermes PASS
Cloud onboarding PASS
Cloud inference PASS
Inference routing PASS: 5 passed, 2 skipped
OpenClaw provider switching PASS
Network policy PASS
Gateway crash recovery PASS

Verified the immutable dispatch receipt, candidate SHA and correlation ID in all nine result artifacts, and the eight catalogue evidence manifests. All 44 recorded cleanup operations passed. Docker credential cleanup succeeded in all nine jobs; cloud onboarding also removed its raw traces.

Full E2E and OpenClaw security posture each completed the readiness probe and both launch sessions with exit code 0 and no timeout. Neither live scenario needed a provider retry. The passing Linux CI run supplies the deterministic outage, rejection, cleanup-failure, and immediate-child-exit evidence reviewed earlier.

The two skipped inference-routing cases are the existing runtime identity refresh scenarios: the pinned OpenShell 0.0.106 qualification declares that projection unsupported. They provide no runtime identity refresh evidence in this run.

This focused Linux run does not qualify the separate macOS, portable-launch, or staging Launchable workflows. The trusted main planner retains its existing 75-minute enclosing job budget; the proposed 115-minute budget remains covered by deterministic workflow tests.

Inference mode input: mock; the hosted-inference catalogue suites use their declared NVIDIA credential profile.

The PR remains on the reviewed commit. Current PR checks pass or are expected skips, and all nine Advisor reports are clear. No remaining review blocker found.
