One correctness finding inline. The current exact-commit OpenClaw MCP discovery pass 2 failure also remains unclassified, so I am not treating this review as merge approval.

Maintainer decision needed for commit 5bb7463: PR Review Advisor run 34248330837, Migration completion job 102136272520, exhausted its provider retries and produced no Migration completion artifact. Contributor follow-up guidance requires this candidate to remain unchanged until a maintainer decides whether to rerun the full Advisor workflow for this commit or defer the PR. Please record one of those decisions. I will not rerun the workflow without that decision. I confirmed the P2 review finding is valid and candidate-owned. The new message regex can treat server-supplied MCP error text as a NemoClaw timeout when the SDK RequestTimeout code did not occur. The repair will normalize the typed SDK timeout at the runtime boundary and add a regression for a non-timeout MCP error with timeout-like text. This repair remains paused until the Advisor decision completes collection. The managed-image pass 2 failure is inherited post-rebuild recovery outside this slice. Pass 1 succeeded. Tool discovery and authentication evidence completed. Policy allowed the request. Later lifecycle calls succeeded. Cleanup and the artifact credential scan passed. |

Requesting changes for two P2 correctness and acceptance-test issues:
-
tools/mcp-tool-discovery-runtime/tool-discovery-core.ts:373-379,401-408classifies any error whose message contains “timed out” as NemoClaw’s local 10-second connection timeout. MCP/tool errors can supply that wording. This is directly reproducible and changes a tool-operation failure intofailureClass: "connection"with a misleading local-timeout detail, contrary to #10944. Please classify timeouts only from an owned typed timeout signal and add a regression where timeout-like remote text remainstool-operationwhile a real bounded timeout remainsconnection. -
test/e2e/live/mcp-bridge-tool-discovery.ts:641-649,752-763removed the exact live success assertions forok, count, expected tools, truncation, command status, and absent failure fields. The replacement validates only broad JSON types plus exit status, so it can miss wrong discovery output, including the exit-zero/ok:falseregression this PR is intended to prevent. Please restore exact success assertions and assert the complete denied-auth result (ok:false, empty tools,failedStage:"initialization",failureClass:"authentication", and the expected command status).
The first issue is also captured in the existing inline review comment. I revalidated both findings against current head 5bb74630a7d5763292e52deb4a231b7c6f32af5d.

Approved at fa636a6. The primary #10944 behavior is correct: unsuccessful MCP initialization or tool discovery produces a nonzero NemoClaw result while preserving redacted failure context.
Non-blocking follow-up: @apurvvkumaria, please track normalization of malformed post-initialization MCP responses. With the pinned SDK, malformed JSON from tools/list throws a plain SyntaxError and is currently classified as failureClass tool-operation; it should be protocol, consistent with other invalid tool-list responses. The follow-up should add an SDK-level malformed-response regression test.
<!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 --> ## Outcome Malformed MCP responses surfaced by the pinned SDK now report `failureClass: "protocol"` instead of `"tool-operation"`. JSON-RPC application errors remain tool-operation failures, and owned timeout and transport classifications remain unchanged. ## Reason PR #11087 added bounded failure classes, but the SDK exposes malformed JSON and schema failures as untyped parser errors. After successful initialization, the stage-based fallback treated those exceptions as remote tool-operation failures even though the endpoint had violated the MCP protocol. ### Related issues Refs #10944 Follow-up to #11087 ## Changes - Preserve NemoClaw-owned runtime errors and typed SDK `McpError` results while mapping other SDK boundary exceptions to the existing invalid-response protocol classification. - Use stage-neutral redacted detail for invalid responses. - Add a real pinned-SDK regression that completes MCP initialization and then returns malformed JSON from `tools/list`. - Regenerate the reviewed runtime bundle and update its pinned integrity digest. ## Verification - `npm run validate:pr` — passed. - `npm --prefix tools/mcp-tool-discovery-runtime test` — 3 tests passed. - `npm --prefix tools/mcp-tool-discovery-runtime run typecheck` — passed. - `npm --prefix tools/mcp-tool-discovery-runtime run bundle:reviewed:check` — passed. - `npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-tool-discovery-runtime.test.ts` — 33 tests passed. - `npx vitest run --project integration test/mcp/mcp-tool-discovery-image-contract.test.ts --testTimeout=30000` — 19 tests passed. - `npm run typecheck:cli` — passed after building the root and nested CLI artifacts. - `npm run test-size:check` and `npm run source-shape:check` — passed. - `git diff --check` — passed. - The validated diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials. ## Review notes This changes the sensitive reviewed runtime under `tools/mcp-tool-discovery-runtime/**` and its pinned executable digest. @apurvvkumaria, this is the non-blocking follow-up requested during review of #11087. --- Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas <prekshiv@nvidia.com> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Improved handling of malformed MCP endpoint responses. * Invalid or unparsable responses are now consistently classified as protocol failures with a clear, generic “invalid response” message. * Existing timeout and recognized error details continue to be preserved appropriately. * **Tests** * Added coverage for malformed tool-discovery responses to verify consistent error reporting and session handling. * Updated runtime artifact validation for the latest behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas <prekshiv@nvidia.com> Co-authored-by: Rebecca Sliter <sliterrm@gmail.com>
<!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 --> ## Outcome Buffered sandbox execution now goes through the typed OpenShell command adapter. Command construction, environment handling, input, output capture, deadlines, and transport failures are owned by the CLI adapter while callers consume transport-neutral results. ## Reason Buffered probes and setup flows still depended on action-owned OpenShell argv builders and synchronous process-shaped results after the streamed command boundary landed. That bypassed the adapter boundary and made timeout, fallback, environment, and currentness behavior inconsistent across consumers. ### Related issues Fixes #10991 ## Changes - Add a typed asynchronous buffered request and completion contract for command bytes, sandbox and host environment, working directory, input, output limits, signals, deadlines, and transport failures. - Centralize asynchronous OpenShell child-process execution in one CLI adapter lifecycle. Legacy status capture and typed buffered execution retain separate public results while sharing process creation, capture, deadlines, cancellation, and cleanup. - Migrate the complete #10991-owned buffered call graph across onboarding, health probes, recovery, messaging, agent setup, binary checks, compatible-endpoint checks, and the finite-output OpenClaw sessions-list path. - Preserve named-gateway authority, sanitized subprocess environments, repository working directories, Hermes command authority, process-group timeout cleanup, and the existing immediate-kill deadline sites. - Preserve registered local runtime-provider fallback through explicit operation policies: unavailable-only by default, never for authority-sensitive or mutating proofs, read-only for probes and diagnostics, and reconciled for idempotent state cleanup. Valid marked results and cancellation remain final for the registered-provider retry. - Replace remaining buffered argv and process-result consumers with typed requests, remove the unused inference-route argv builder, and reject new buffered compatibility-helper imports and value re-exports through the architecture check. - Re-establish and verify mutable OpenClaw config permissions after asynchronous MCP restoration settles and before sealing the rebuilt config hash. - Keep this as one semantic slice. Splitting the interface propagation would leave production buffered bypasses or require temporary duplicate machinery without an independently useful capability. ## Verification - `npm run docs` and `npm run validate:pr` passed on exact commit `24d3aaba943004707ce09b07243be3657b73c69e` against canonical base `7e4bdf27f17bd760a02e36467d7ea79a9ae5a37e`. The docs build rendered the OpenClaw and Hermes variants and validated published routes. Two independent reviews found no remaining accuracy, security, lifecycle, variant, or ownership issue. The main composition preserves #11234.s adapter-backed provider inspection, #11089.s typed buffered sandbox execution, and the awaited policy-handler seam. Focused validation passed 96/96 tests; CLI build/typecheck, repository architecture checks, commit hooks, and push hooks passed. - The final architecture repair passed all 63 focused guard tests, including named, namespace, star, `export =`, `export default`, direct `require`, comment-separated legacy helper re-exports, interpolated-template predecessors, type-only exclusions, lexer bait, and a 10,000-comment candidate-path case. The fixed-string prefilter plus memoized TypeScript AST removes the reported regular-expression backtracking risk. CLI type-checking, repository hooks, and two independent read-only reviews also passed. - The latest main refresh composed #10991 with #11087's structured MCP tool-discovery failures. The resolved call keeps the structured precondition result and the awaited execution boundary. Targeted validation passed 112/112 MCP tests, plus 8/8 cross-process MCP tests outside the filesystem sandbox. - The supervisor and onboarding refresh composition passed 160/160 focused tests, CLI type-checking, and independent review. The test-only Hermes port isolation repair prevents host config and suite order from influencing supervisor-relaunch coverage. - The post-#11205 repair awaits asynchronous OpenClaw config sync and updates the resumed identity-gate test for the async probe contract. The composed regression sets passed 46/46 and 33/33, and all 12 hosted CLI shards are green. - Canonical base `de7f565` includes #11264's patched `js-yaml`, resolving the inherited `GHSA-2883-xcg3-v3hh` audit failure without adding dependency changes to this PR's semantic diff. - Earlier migration validation passed adapter, integration, onboarding, process-recovery, architecture, managed-image fixture, E2E-support, project-membership, growth, and secret-scanning checks. Exact-head CI remains authoritative. - The exact-head Advisor review for `0bdd4af0c89224684f0a600213b869b8bd4e012d` completed all nine specialists and requested one documentation correction. Commit `24d3aaba943004707ce09b07243be3657b73c69e` addresses it. Exact-head review for the latest PR commit is pending. - All PR commits through the exact head are signed, DCO-compliant, and verified by GitHub. ## Review notes All valid CodeRabbit findings have been addressed. Apurv’s code feedback is implemented: safe fallback eligibility is explicit and cancellation is distinct, while the architecture assertion rejects static computed compatibility-helper access. His latest documentation correction is also implemented in both owning channel-removal pages. The earlier repair also converts synchronous process-creation throws into the typed structured failure and makes the shell-quoting security test use the production argv builder. Rejected channel probes are already caught in the shared sandbox status adapter and covered through the public Telegram status flow. The onboarding FSM test intentionally verifies root composition wiring; direct agent tests own exact buffered request and completion behavior. The accepted #10991 architecture requirement authorizes the modified repository validator surface. The guard is part of this PR because it prevents the migrated buffered execution boundary from silently regressing through imports or value re-exports. The suggestion to inject the sessions executor from a higher layer was not applied. Action modules in this repository construct adapters at their boundary, and the sessions tests replace that factory with a typed fake. A broader four-file dependency-wiring refactor would not improve #10991's contract. At commit `0bdd4af0c89224684f0a600213b869b8bd4e012d`, eight Advisor specialists found no change-required issue. The documentation specialist requested the transport-order correction included in the latest PR commit. The #10994 deferral is narrow: it retains agent captured-dispatch callers that combine bounded output capture with piped stdin and signal handoff, plus the streamed Hermes sessions path. The finite-output OpenClaw sessions-list path is included here and covered by the typed executor tests. The code migration preserves public command behavior. This PR updates the two owning channel-removal pages to document the existing destructive cleanup transport order and recovery boundary. No new live E2E target was added because the adapter, process, fallback, and consumer contracts are deterministic local boundaries. The existing managed-image workflow owns the relevant composed OpenClaw and Hermes boundary. --- Signed-off-by: Rebecca Sliter <571084+rsliter@users.noreply.github.com> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * Added structured sandbox command execution with gateway targeting, timeouts, output limits, environment controls, and cancellation handling. * Onboarding, health checks, inference probes, messaging diagnostics, and deployment verification now support asynchronous execution. * Added clearer recovery, readiness, gateway, and command-failure diagnostics. * **Bug Fixes** * Improved handling of timeouts, execution failures, gateway restarts, route recovery, and rollback sequencing. * Strengthened authority, identity, environment, and output validation. * **Tests** * Expanded coverage for asynchronous execution, recovery, security boundaries, diagnostics, and failure scenarios. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Signed-off-by: Rebecca Sliter <571084+rsliter@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Rebecca Sliter <571084+rsliter@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

OpenClaw and Deep Agents Code passed, and the Hermes lane passed the new authenticated discovery, denied HTTP 401 classification, version capture, credential restoration, artifact credential scan, and cleanup assertions. Later candidates integrate the current base and apply deterministic review corrections to the redacted detail wording and managed-image protocol probe. The live network interaction, failure classification, cleanup, credential restoration, and scenario remain unchanged.mcp-bridgematrix supplied the Hermes evidence. This change does not add a second automatic PR lane or redesign CI.Review notes

The complete PR Review Advisor rerun for5bb7463succeeded with all nine specialist artifacts. Candidate6d9ffcdbaddressed the two maintainer findings and integrated canonical main. Candidate62710c6exposed that the first package-boundary repair still left the SDK adapter inside root CLI type-checking. Candidatefa636a6moves typed SDK timeout normalization into the standalone entrypoint, keeps the shared core package-neutral, and passes root type-checking. Exact-head automated evaluation has restarted.Signed-off-by: Apurv Kumaria akumaria@nvidia.com
