Outcome

Protected OpenClaw rebuilds consume verified mcporter audit evidence while networking is disabled. The fix reuses #11370's trusted controller and preserves rejection of incomplete or mismatched evidence.

Reason

The failed GPU job ran npm audit during an offline rebuild without supplied evidence. Both attempts returned the same 206-byte EAI_AGAIN document with missing metadata. GPU inference never started.

Related issues

Fixes #11088. Uses merged prerequisites #11370 and #11522 (the trusted-controller flag correction).

Changes

  • Share the receipt, raw-report, and trusted-policy consumer between both Dockerfiles. Verify transport hashes; run a live audit only when evidence is absent.
  • Keep bounded, redacted diagnostics and the existing two-attempt limit for recognized transient audit failures.
  • Reuse the producer's policy output. Remove duplicate policy emission, redundant workflow-shape coverage, and unrelated cache-export cleanup.
  • Stub unrelated llama.cpp host discovery in the existing vLLM serving-profile fixture after its CI timeout.
  • Retain up to 64 KiB of redacted host gateway logs when managed-image activation fails. The preceding failure retained no gateway explanation; onboarding behavior and retry limits are unchanged.

The diff is reduced from 22 files and 1,137 added lines to 21 files and 917 added lines. No new test scenario or public documentation is added.

Verification

Candidate: ca72fcbfac849946db3552f2abff68b4627c6656. Canonical validation reference: c5eee32476e90b7f200a2207a3fd3175a56b8d32. PR base: e0273c244c0e96ab35bd1d3c962c3802633d67e7.

  • Initial audit-fix tests: 336 passed, 2 skipped across 11 files; CLI and plugin builds passed. Those audit-fix paths remain unchanged.
  • Existing vLLM fixture: four tests pass. A temporary 6-second host-probe delay reproduced the prior 5-second timeout; the fixture correction prevented that unrelated call. Temporary probe code was removed. CI passed on 38fa1ebe5f, including the previously failing shard 3.
  • Existing diagnostic/redaction tests: 59 passed across managed-image-activation-diagnostics.test.ts, docker-probe.test.ts, e2e-redaction-entry.test.ts, and e2e-redaction-parity.test.ts, using npm exec -- vitest run --project e2e-support with those four files.
  • npm run validate:pr: all pre-commit code, formatting, repository, and security checks passed. Commitlint reports the same five historical message errors: three have a recorded exception, and the user authorized preserving the 31645fc type and a126c3f body-length errors. History is preserved; no code or security check is waived.
  • Separate pre-push CLI type checks passed. Validation uses Node 22.23.2 Linux as an unprivileged user, without host mounts, credentials, or a Docker socket. No secrets are in the diff.

The preceding image run passed every image build/publication and both MCP checks, but OpenClaw activation entered OpenShell Error before a durable create identity was available. The retained filtered Docker inventory was empty. The underlying gateway cause remains unresolved; this revision adds the missing failure evidence.

The workflow's existing managed_image_revision input can reuse the fully successful 1bd6e085e4 image cohort. Only the existing unit-test fixture and E2E failure diagnostics changed after that revision; image build sources are unchanged. Protected GPU qualification still builds images from the latest candidate checkout and must bind its result to that candidate. Ancestor cohort reuse does not waive the current activation check.

Current CI, image qualification, and protected GPU/local-inference E2E remain pending. The protected selector is jobs=managed-image-protected-runtime, with empty targets and no staging or Jetson dispatch.

Review notes

Self-review covers the full candidate diff. CodeRabbit's receipt/raw binding and strict JSON parsing corrections are retained. Advisor's duplicate-policy finding is addressed; broader cache transactions and duplicate test infrastructure are excluded.

All nine Advisor specialists completed for 38fa1ebe5f; eight requested no change. The verification specialist's extra YAML wiring scenario is declined with the coverage gap and rationale recorded. Existing executable handoff tests and actual workflow qualification remain required.

The human request for protected E2E evidence remains open. No review is dismissed or merge requirement bypassed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds structured npm audit failure classification, generates trusted mcporter policy evidence, verifies receipt/report/policy hashes, and transports that evidence through Docker and managed-image workflows. Tests cover retry behavior, fail-closed validation, cache cleanup, and supply-chain contracts.

Changes

Mcporter audit evidence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Audit response classification and retention
scripts/lib/reviewed-npm-audit.mts, test/automation/releases/reviewed-npm-audit*.test.ts
Audit responses use structured classifications, sanitized diagnostics, bounded retries, and schema-versioned failure reports.
Policy evidence generation and verification
scripts/audit-reviewed-npm-graph.mts, scripts/lib/verify-mcporter-audit.sh, src/lib/sandbox/build-context.ts, test/platform/images/*, test/runtime/sandbox/*
The audit flow writes a restricted policy-result file. The verifier checks receipt, raw-report, policy-result, and SHA-256 metadata, or runs a direct reviewed audit when evidence is absent.
Docker and workflow evidence handoff
.github/actions/*, .github/workflows/*, Dockerfile, Dockerfile.base, agents/openclaw/dependency-review.md
Build actions and workflows pass the policy-result digest and secret. Docker builds invoke the verifier and derive audit metadata from verified evidence.
Supporting fixtures and workflow contracts
scripts/checks/*, test/automation/releases/reviewed-npm-audit-handoff.test.ts, test/security/*, test/inference/*, ci/source-shape-test-budget.json
Tests and build scripts cover cache cleanup, staged verifier content, trusted evidence handoff, policy-result wiring, and exact architecture arguments.

Review of fcd1873. Fix is sound and fail-closed. No blocker but 2 majors

Major 1 — HTTP-level npm errors no longer retried. TRANSIENT_TRANSPORT_CODES has socket codes only; npm emits code = "E" + status for HTTP failures, so E503/E429/ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT documents classify as npm-error-document, retryable:false, and stop on attempt 1. Measured against main with a direct runNpmAuditWithRetry harness: main attempts=2, head attempts=1 (clean-report baseline accepted on both). Suggest treating ^E(429|5\d\d)$ and ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT as transient, with it.each rows in test/automation/releases/reviewed-npm-audit.test.ts.

Major 2 — scripts/lib/verify-mcporter-audit.sh has no executing test. Both RUN-block harnesses (test/agents/openclaw/openclaw-integrity-pin-suite.ts:466, test/security/fetch-guard-patch-regression.test.ts:190) replace the helper call with the old inline command, so source selection, hash check, and symlink rejection never run. Suggest keeping the helper and rewriting /run/secrets and /run/nemoclaw-mcporter-audit-cache to temp roots in the harness, covering secrets, seed, live-audit fallback, hash mismatch, and symlink.

Decision — seed handoff after merge. The GPU job runs the driver from workflow_sha but seed_helper from the candidate, which is why the seed path carried the pre-merge E2E. Once main's driver passes --secret, the helper prefers secrets and the seed stage, bind mount, and materializer audit code have no consumer. Remove in a follow-up, or record why both stay.

Minor: CodeQL alert 3061 at scripts/lib/reviewed-npm-audit.mts:319 is a dead branch (caller already rejects non-objects). The producer's Node 22 pin will break when #11080 lands since audit-reviewed-npm-graph.mts hard-fails on nodeVersion mismatch.

CI: only red is cli-test-shards (8) at launch-agent-turn.test.ts:1245, untouched by this PR; rerun.

Review of cd32fc1.

Resolved since fcd1873: the seed handoff is gone and Dockerfile is byte-identical to main, so the RUN-block harnesses execute the receipt/live-audit selection again.

Blocker — transient registry failures are no longer distinguished from deterministic npm errors

  • Observed: scripts/lib/reviewed-npm-audit.mts:155 keeps only RETRYABLE_TRANSPORT_CODE = "ECONNRESET". The document actually observed in e2e(npm): protected OpenClaw image build exhausts audit completeness retries #11088 (EAI_AGAIN, run 34107473247 in the PR body), plus E503/E429/ETIMEDOUT/ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT, now classify as npm-error-document with no transport= tag, the same bucket as an npm-version regression. empty-output (:373) and invalid-json (:379) also became non-retryable. On main every one of these retried once.
  • Expected: issue e2e(npm): protected OpenClaw image build exhausts audit completeness retries #11088 acceptance clause "distinguish a transient registry/audit response from a deterministic parser or npm-version regression". Transient transport codes must stay identified in the diagnostic even if the retry set is narrowed; the PR body cites no ECONNRESET evidence (zero mentions), only EAI_AGAIN.
  • Action: restore transport-code detection for classification (EAI_AGAIN, ECONNREFUSED, ETIMEDOUT, ENOTFOUND, ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT, ^E(429|5\d\d)$) and record transport=<code>; state the chosen retryable subset and its evidence in the PR body.
  • Verification: call runNpmAuditWithRetry with {message:"... EAI_AGAIN ...", error:{summary:"",detail:""}}: head attempts=1 reason=npm-error-document; main attempts=2.
  • Regression test: Extend test/automation/releases/reviewed-npm-audit.test.ts ("does not retry deterministic %s responses" / "retries only the observed registry reset") with EAI_AGAIN, E503, ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT rows asserting the transport= tag and the intended retryable flag.

Warning — PR body describes the removed design

The Changes and Verification sections still describe evidence carried in the locked npm seed and bind-mounted into the build, and the cited GPU-job pass (run 34141402723) came through that path. At this head the protected GPU job can only be proven after merge, because the trusted driver on main has no secret wiring yet. Rewrite both sections and state that gap. No code change.

Warning — producer image outside the tar-remediation contract

Dockerfile.protected-npm-audit:6 uses the Node 22 pin listed in NODE_BASES_REQUIRING_BUNDLED_NPM_TAR_PATCH, installs npm 10.9.4 (tar ^6.2.1, below the 7.5.21 floor) and extracts registry tarballs without patch-bundled-npm-tar.mts; test/platform/images/node-tar-dockerfile-contract.test.ts does not list the file. Exposure equals the current runner-based action. Register the exception or apply the patch.

Suggestions

  • CodeQL 3061: firstInvalidAuditField(value: unknown) at scripts/lib/reviewed-npm-audit.mts:305-308 has an unreachable first branch (caller rejects non-objects at :383); type the parameter as Record<string, unknown> and drop it.
  • The producer FROM pin must move with chore(deps): standardize Node 24 and npm 12 #11080 (Node 24); audit-reviewed-npm-graph.mts hard-fails on nodeVersion mismatch and no test ties the pin to ci/reviewed-npm-audit.json.

Review disposition for Advisor run 34213063997 on 5eaf8f50e3399eb51829160e369432724167ea5c:

  • No candidate-owned production repair is accepted from this run.
  • Architecture and delivery proposed opposite evidence transports. Both current paths have a pre-merge consumer: candidate startup uses the secret handoff, while the exact protected-runtime job executes the older trusted driver and therefore consumes the integrity-checked evidence embedded in the locked seed. Removing either would discard a demonstrated path; the earlier reduced candidate failed the exact protected job without the seed handoff.
  • Operability's transactional cache publication and CodeRabbit's fresh-cache retry request do not match a production caller. The only export caller uses a fresh, run-scoped path on an ephemeral runner, and the script intentionally rejects non-empty destinations. Adding rename/cleanup transaction machinery would expand an unrelated cache subsystem.
  • Security's independent trusted producer is a broader pre-existing candidate-trust redesign: before this PR, candidate code already controlled the Dockerfile and audit implementation. This PR preserves that boundary and adds no bypass; incomplete or unknown evidence still fails closed.
  • Verification asks for additional test-only BuildKit fixture coverage. The exact-head protected job exercised the actual producer/cache/Dockerfile/verifier handoff and passed; deterministic tests cover malformed, missing, mismatched, retryable, and non-retryable evidence.
  • Reduction, customer behavior, migration, and documentation found no issue. The docstring warning is advisory style feedback.

Exact-head evidence is now in the PR description: run 34216778016, protected GPU/local-inference job, attempt 1, full runtime and cleanup green.

Additional stable MCP E2E evidence

Exact PR head: d4c2731440847627ea0b2164c6f4fcc3396ba60a
PR base / trusted workflow for the head run: b52b088875e4603341702fc94fb7e1b6944475a8
Selector: jobs=mcp-bridge, gateway_runtimes=docker,podman, mock inference, no staging or hardware lanes.

  • Exact-head managed-image workflow 34227644163 passed. This includes OpenClaw build and direct startup, all-agent managed runtime activation, and two independent OpenClaw managed-image MCP discovery passes: pass 1, pass 2.
  • Trusted manual MCP run 34231592453, correlation 38dfae4c-d90a-42e9-9ee9-fa96dcd7129e, attempt 1: OpenClaw/Podman passed the complete MCP lifecycle.
  • The other seven rows all failed at the same external endpoint boundary before agent-specific MCP behavior: cloudflared published a quick-tunnel URL, then public HEAD /mcp failed with TypeError after the existing bounded 3-attempt policy. The signature spans OpenClaw, Hermes, Deep Agents, credential-window, Docker, and Podman, so it is not attributable to the reviewed npm-audit patch.
  • Retained artifacts: e2e-dispatch-34231592453-1, all six e2e-mcp-bridge-<agent>-<runtime> artifacts, and both e2e-openshell-credential-generation-window-<runtime> artifacts. Every risk record binds expected/tested SHA d4c2731... and the correlation above. All eight cleanup records have failures: []; every artifact credential scan succeeded.
  • The policy-defined exact-base comparison 34234181876 was rejected fail-closed before candidate execution because main advanced from trusted workflow b52b088... to b7c5e940... during dispatch. It is therefore an invalid comparison, and the strict comparison outcome is unresolved; I did not rerun an unchanged candidate.
  • All ordinary PR checks are green.

Disposition: no production-code change for these MCP failures. The actionable product paths for this PR are green; the remaining failures are bounded external quick-tunnel availability evidence, with complete cleanup.

Quick review of d4c2731.

Resolved: dual handoff kept with a recorded reason, exact-head protected GPU job green on 5eaf8f5 (PR-owned files identical to head), managed-image workflow green on d4c2731, Dockerfile smaller than main.

One item still without a disposition: scripts/lib/reviewed-npm-audit.mts:155 retries only ECONNRESET. Re-measured on this head with a direct runNpmAuditWithRetry harness: the EAI_AGAIN document observed in #11088, plus E503, E429, and ERR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT, classify as npm-error-document with no transport= tag and stop on attempt 1; empty-output and invalid-json are non-retryable too. main retried each of them once. This only affects networked callers (producer Dockerfile, CI action, ordinary sandbox builds), not the offline receipt path. Either restore transport-code tagging for those signatures (retry set can stay narrow) or record why ECONNRESET-only is the intended policy.

Note: 38ee4352a is titled "stage protected audit verifier in fixtures" but only re-adds the replaceAll that swaps the verifier call for the inline audit command, so no deterministic test executes verify-mcporter-audit.sh; the protected job is the only proof. Fine if that is the accepted disposition.

Disposition for Advisor run 34227642767 on d4c2731440847627ea0b2164c6f4fcc3396ba60a:

  • No additional production repair is accepted from this Advisor run.
  • The two audit-evidence transports are an intentional pre-merge compatibility bridge, not two audit authorities. Candidate-managed builds pass the receipt and raw report as secrets. The protected GPU job uses the older trusted-main driver, so it consumes the same integrity-bound files through the locked seed. Removing either path before merge would break a demonstrated consumer. Both paths converge on verify-mcporter-audit.sh and the existing receipt verifier, which bind the evidence to the raw report, receipt hash, package manifest, lockfile, registry, policy, threshold, and current exception configuration.
  • The reported network-isolation blocker is a false positive. BuildKit applies the build-level network mode to the stage state (source). For RUN --network=default, BuildKit returns no instruction-level network override (source). Therefore the protected build's docker buildx build --network none remains effective.
  • The Dockerfile comment is scoped specifically to protected GPU consumers using the trusted-main driver and is accurate for that path. It does not claim that candidate-managed startup uses the seed.
  • Consolidating the helper with Dockerfile.base would expand this issue into a separate base-image refactor without fixing a demonstrated defect.
  • A deterministic Docker/BuildKit harness for the helper would be additional test infrastructure, not a production correction. The actual handoff was exercised successfully by the protected GPU/local-inference job. Current head also passed the managed-image workflow, including the OpenClaw build and both MCP discovery passes (pass 1, pass 2).

Architecture consolidation and additional fixture coverage are therefore deferred as non-blocking follow-up scope.

For the separate transport-classification review in this comment: accepted as a narrow production-classification correction.

ECONNRESET-only cannot be justified from the recorded #11088 evidence: the exact observed npm error document contained EAI_AGAIN, while the current fixture incorrectly labels an ECONNRESET document as the observed response. The current implementation still fails closed, so this is not an audit bypass, but it incorrectly reports recognized registry/network failures as generic npm-error-document failures for networked callers.

The repair will remain small:

  • restore bounded, redacted transport-code identification for the exact recognized npm error-document signatures;
  • keep classification separate from retry eligibility;
  • do not restore main's blanket retry of empty output, invalid JSON, or every parse failure;
  • keep malformed reports and unknown response shapes immediately fail-closed;
  • keep the existing bounded retry budget unchanged;
  • correct the fixture so the e2e(npm): protected OpenClaw image build exhausts audit completeness retries #11088 case uses the actually observed EAI_AGAIN shape.

The verify-mcporter-audit.sh deterministic-consumer gap is accepted for this PR. Receipt and raw-report integrity are covered deterministically, while the actual Dockerfile/helper handoff was exercised by the protected GPU/local-inference job. Adding a separate Docker/BuildKit test harness would expand test infrastructure without addressing another demonstrated production defect.

The next protected-GPU prerequisite is #11522, a one-line controller repair.

On trusted main 189043e740, build-protected-managed-images.sh passes --legacy-npmjs. The real receipt verifier accepts --legacy-audit and rejects the old flag before Docker starts. Executing the controller's validation function with valid evidence reproduced exit 1; changing only the flag produced exit 0 and a clean policy result. #11522 passed 46 existing tests and npm run validate:pr; its CI is running.

The original #11088 failure remains the offline audit: both attempts returned the same 206-byte EAI_AGAIN document because no audit evidence reached the network-disabled rebuild. #11370 supplies that evidence. #11522 must enter trusted main because manual PR E2E does not execute the candidate's controller.

A reduced #11156 revision is prepared locally, without a new test scenario or public documentation. It removes duplicate policy emission, redundant workflow-shape coverage, and unrelated cache-export cleanup. The diff drops from 22 files / 1,137 additions to 20 files / 891 additions. Existing fixtures from merged #11506/#11519 resolve the six provider-test failures.

Advisor disposition: accept the duplicate-policy finding; retain receipt/raw hash binding and strict JSON parsing. Additional cache transactions are unnecessary because export callers use fresh run-scoped paths. Existing publication, controller, and image tests cover the retained handoff.

Local evidence: 336 tests passed, 2 skipped; CLI/plugin builds, all pre-commit checks, and the separate pre-push type check passed. Publication remains paused for two historical commit-message errors beyond the existing three-commit exception. The reduced revision has not been pushed. GPU acceptance and green CI are still required; no readiness or merge approval is claimed.

@sandl99 sandl99 changed the title fix(security): carry mcporter audit into protected builds fix(security): consume verified audits in offline image rebuilds Sep 11, 2026
sandl99 added a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 11, 2026
## Outcome

Protected managed-image builds can verify supplied mcporter audit
evidence before the offline rebuild.

## Reason

The trusted controller passes `--legacy-npmjs`, but the verifier accepts
only `--legacy-audit`. It rejects valid evidence with `verifier
arguments has unexpected or missing keys` before Docker starts. Manual
PR E2E uses this controller from `main`, so repairing the candidate copy
cannot unblock GPU qualification.

### Related issues

Refs #11088. Prerequisite for #11156, following #11370.

## Changes

Replace the obsolete verifier flag with the supported name. One line
changes; no new mechanism or test scenario.

## Verification

- Executed the controller's evidence-validation function with a valid
receipt and the real verifier: main exited 1; the one-line fix exited 0
and produced a clean policy result.
- Existing controller and receipt tests: 46 passed.
- `npm run validate:pr`: passed on
`615eb8afdc9906d22d8eb360b33380122780aad4` against canonical main
`189043e740fdab61c8c3fdf6fe9407f438e4d955`.
- No secrets, API keys, or credentials are in the diff.

## Review notes

Self-review covered `scripts/checks/build-protected-managed-images.sh`
at `615eb8afdc` in NVIDIA/NemoClaw. Validation used an unprivileged Node
22.23.2 Linux container without host mounts, credentials, or a Docker
socket. Independent review is pending. The GPU target remains owned by
#11156.

Reviewed all nine completed specialist summaries from Advisor run 34570376367 for 86ca17756fc25cadf67df24d31fd7640590222b1.

The security specialist's proposed explicit verify-mcporter-audit.sh trigger is a false positive. The existing scripts/** push-path entry already matches scripts/lib/verify-mcporter-audit.sh. I verified this against the parsed workflow and its path patterns. An extra literal entry would duplicate that trigger. No workflow change or additional test scenario is needed.

The other eight specialists requested no changes, including reduction/simplification and documentation. All nine inline review threads are resolved.

CI is green. The exact-revision image workflow has passed the audit producer and trusted receipt verification; final image qualification is still running. Protected GPU/local-inference E2E remains required before readiness is claimed. The candidate remains unchanged.

Advisor disposition for 38fa1ebe5fa396746a2c3b0c335b16f5c1658f23:

All nine specialists completed. Eight requested no change, including security, reduction, and documentation. Verification requests an additional YAML wiring test for the three PR build branches.

I am retaining the existing coverage and declining that additional source-shape scenario for this focused repair. The handoff tests execute the trusted receipt verifier and shared consumer, including forged receipt/raw/policy inputs and incomplete evidence. Existing PR workflow contracts cover the build/runtime pipeline. The complete image qualification on 1bd6e085e4 exercised the actual PR workflow; all 19 audit-fix paths are identical on the current commit. The current image run and protected GPU run must still finish.

The narrow gap is acknowledged: there is no dedicated mutation test for every requested audit argument in all three YAML build branches. A proposed future wiring regression is not evidence of a current wiring defect. Inspection confirms the base-SHA verifier checkout, candidate graph inputs, policy output, and matching secret/hash handoff. Missing members of a partially supplied evidence set fail closed in the consumer. No new live selector, test scenario, or documentation is added for this request.

CI is green for the current commit, including the previously failing CLI shard 3. The seven-line fixture correction stubs unrelated llama.cpp host discovery in the existing vLLM profile test; a temporary delayed-probe reproducer failed before the correction and passed afterward. Temporary diagnostics were removed. Protected GPU evidence remains pending; this comment does not claim GPU readiness.
