Outcome

Detached OpenShell ForwardTcp launches now use the same selected OpenShell configuration directory as the parent command. NemoClaw keeps the existing process-agnostic forwarding lifecycle: it does not retain, inspect, adopt, or signal the ForwardTcp process, and an already-occupied port still fails closed.

Reason

The direct-forward launcher uses an allowlisted child environment. That allowlist retained HOME but dropped XDG_CONFIG_HOME, so a child launched from an isolated E2E/runtime home could miss the gateway configuration selected by the parent command, exit before binding, and leave deployment verification with connection refused.

The failure is visible in run 34081333376, including Cloud onboard and Hosted inference. Bounded diagnosis reproduced the missing-authority exit in run 34098906029; preserving the selected configuration changed the observed lifecycle to a running listener in run 34101768337.

Related issues

Fixes #11084

Relates to #10385. Its Hermes API symptom is compatible, but its retained evidence does not prove this root cause.

#11074 is a different lifecycle state: an expected port is already occupied during repeated onboarding. This change does not adopt or replace that listener.

Changes

  • Add XDG_CONFIG_HOME to the existing credential-minimizing OpenShell subprocess environment allowlist.
  • Add a regression test proving the selected configuration reaches the detached child while NVIDIA_INFERENCE_API_KEY remains excluded.
  • Remove the earlier proposed PID, process-inspection, signaling, diagnostic-capture, and mutation-retry machinery. Accepted scope in Adopt OpenShell ForwardTcp for NemoClaw-managed host forwards #10691 keeps ForwardTcp process ownership in OpenShell.

Verification

  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/adapters/openshell/forward-service.test.ts — passed, 6/6 tests.
  • npm run typecheck:cli — passed.
  • Targeted Oxlint and Oxfmt checks — passed.
  • npm run build:cli — passed.
  • npm run validate:pr — passed, including pre-commit, commitlint, pre-push, repository checks, CLI type checking, formatting/lint, growth guardrails, and gitleaks.
  • npm run test:changed — 1,954 passed and 15 skipped; one unrelated Hermes MCP bridge test failed because the host Python lacks PyYAML. The failing source and test are unchanged from main.
  • Complete diff reviewed for the manual-PR E2E credential boundary; it contains no secrets, API keys, credential reads, or persistence paths.
  • GitHub CLI coverage — 11/12 shards passed. Shard 8 hit the existing onboard-fresh-create-identity test-isolation failure on occupied fixture port 18080; neither that test nor its onboarding implementation differs from main.

All six same-run risk signals report expected SHA = tested SHA, one pass, zero failures, skips, pending tests, or unhandled errors, and the recorded correlation ID. All six cleanup registries contain failures: []; they record sandbox deletion and the applicable gateway, provider/process, temporary-home/workspace, CA-fixture, and credential-boundary cleanup.

Review notes

This is the smallest change consistent with the accepted forwarding scope in #10691 and the implementation in #10695. It repeats no mutating operation, adds no arbitrary wait, stores no ForwardTcp identity, and preserves the existing negative behavior for a foreign listener. All PR Review Advisor specialists and the CodeRabbit check passed on efc00cb6; the earlier human process-ownership blocker was addressed by deleting that design rather than extending it.

CodeRabbit retained two non-blocking generic warnings. The linked-issue warning asks for the removed PID/listener/retry design, but the exact-base/head comparison demonstrates that selected-config propagation fixes the six-target failure and #10691 excludes that process ownership. The docstring warning applies no repository requirement to this diff: it adds no function or public API and changes one existing allowlist plus its test. No code was added for either warning.

Explanation

The shown changes do not implement the linked issue requirements. They only adjust subprocess environment propagation and simplify tests. The summary provides no implementation for bounded readiness, listener ownership validation, diagnostics, retry handling, connectivity checks, or repeated validation of all six targets. The test simplification also removes coverage for several required behaviors [#11084].

Resolution

Include the forward-service readiness implementation and retain focused tests for listener ownership, process identity, retries, bounded diagnostics, cleanup, and connectivity. Provide evidence that all six affected targets pass repeatedly and that refused connections capture the required OpenShell diagnostics [#11084].

Final-head acceptance evidence

All six required behaviors passed in run 34132862462:

Every risk signal binds expected SHA = tested SHA = efc00cb6... and correlation e36ebf0c-.... Each records one pass with zero failures, skips, pending tests, or unhandled errors. All six cleanup registries contain failures: [].

Deterministic and review disposition

  • Focused forwarding tests: 6/6 passed. CLI typecheck, build, targeted lint/format, and npm run validate:pr passed.
  • GitHub CLI coverage: 11/12 shards passed. Shard 8 hit the existing onboard-fresh-create-identity fixture-port isolation failure; neither the failing test nor its onboarding implementation differs from main. This failure is recorded, not hidden by the aggregate job.
  • All PR Review Advisor specialists and CodeRabbit passed on efc00cb6.
  • The earlier process-ownership review blocker was resolved by deleting the PID, process-inspection, signal, capture, and retry design. The final two-file diff only preserves selected XDG_CONFIG_HOME for the existing detached launch and tests that provider credentials remain excluded.

Reviewed at head e09c4ba873f471906a04d750d3a434113dcaf3d9. One blocker, two majors.

Blocker 1 — unverified is treated as an identity change, but a zombie on macOS and a failed ps//proc read produce the same value

processIdentityStatus returns unverified whenever getProcessIdentity returns undefined (forward-service.ts:368), and the launch loop then throws changed identity before binding without stopping or retrying (:545-549). Two non-identity paths reach that value.

macOS zombie: the launch blocks the main thread in Atomics.wait (:509, :611), so libuv cannot reap an exited child until the launch returns. Linux covers this through the Z check in isProcessRunning (:213-217). On macOS process.kill(pid, 0) succeeds for the zombie (:219), ps eww prints no environment for it, and getProcessIdentity returns undefined (:105-114). Every exited child, including the creating handoff this PR exists to retry, therefore ends in the identity-change throw, and waitForExit returns unverified after a successful SIGTERM (:392). By the code, the fix does not run on macOS. I could not run macOS; no test feeds ps output to the parser, CI is Linux only, and the CodeRabbit comment on :532 is marked "Addressed in commit e09c4ba" although that commit touched only the wrapper, the drain marker, and tests.

Tool failure on any platform: an unreadable /proc entry (:87) or a ps timeout (:111) leaves a live forward holding the port, and the next launch fails with already occupied while the message blames an identity change.

Please treat ps -o stat= Z as exited on darwin, return a distinct unreadable result that is re-read within the budget, reserve unverified for a definite mismatch, add a parser test with real ps eww output, and run the timeout path plus a forced creating exit on macOS. #10691 lists macOS in its validation plan.

Major 2 — live evidence is one commit behind and never shows the retry branch

Run 34111019582 tested 14c7f211. The head adds the start.done marker, the 1 s drain gate, and the terminal diagnostic-incomplete category (:23, :29-34, :289-297, :339-352); a marker that lands after 1 s now turns a retryable creating exit into a terminal failure. The six job logs and the target artifacts contain no forward-launch stderr, so nothing shows the creating retry firing in that run; the Verification specialist reached the same conclusion. Please re-run the exact-head E2E at e09c4ba and add one run that forces creating at launch time (test/e2e/live/sandbox-operations.test.ts:859 waits for Ready before recovery, so it cannot reach the retry today).

Major 3 — #11077 fixes #11084 with the same mechanism

#11077 also declares Fixes #11084 and implements the same design: /proc start ticks, socket-inode ownership, environment UUID identity on non-Linux, SIGTERM/SIGKILL. Neither PR references the other; a maintainer must select one. #11128 (same author) adds a second ownership prover in this file with the opposite lsof//proc precedence, so the two should share one.

Notes

  • Adopt OpenShell ForwardTcp for NemoClaw-managed host forwards #10691's Accept text says "Do not inspect, adopt, or signal a ForwardTcp process" and "NemoClaw stores no ... PID, process identity, supervisor state"; this PR does all three during startup. Record the amendment on e2e(forward): deployment verification cannot reach new host forwards #11084 or Adopt OpenShell ForwardTcp for NemoClaw-managed host forwards #10691 rather than leaving it to the PR body.
  • CodeQL 3062 is a false positive: the initial absent at :535 is returned when the child exits before the first observation, and forward-service.test.ts:476 asserts that path. CodeQL 3064 (medium) needs a recorded disposition; argv is validated at :434-457 and exec "$@" does not word-split.
  • creating at launch means the forward started before the sandbox was Ready (OpenShell run.rs:1537-1539 checks readiness before bind). Was a bounded Ready wait in ensureSandboxPortForwardForPort (forward-recovery.ts:424) considered before the text-matching retry? It would remove the capture wrapper, the classification, and the retry loop.

What looks right

The diagnostics, the bind announcement, and the 2 s health interval match OpenShell run.rs:1548, :1558, :1644, :1657 at v0.0.106 and are unchanged on OpenShell main. The /proc stat and /proc/net/tcp parsing is correct, Linux zombies are handled, every argument reaching the Bash wrapper is validated, no error includes raw child output, the capture file is 0600 in a 0700 directory and removed on every path, signals go only to an identity-verified PID, and all checks and shards are green at the head.

I did not run the PR test suite locally or macOS; the test observations come from reading the code.

Addressed by reduction at efc00cb6badab8804a45045dd92a1f36a0bbf6b1.

I did not extend the PID/process-identity design. The current PR diff is now only two files: it preserves XDG_CONFIG_HOME in the existing credential-minimizing OpenShell child environment and tests that the selected config reaches the detached child while NVIDIA_INFERENCE_API_KEY remains excluded. All PID retention, /proc/ps/lsof inspection, signaling, output capture, and mutating retries have been removed, so the macOS zombie blocker and retry-branch evidence request no longer apply. This restores the process-agnostic ownership boundary accepted in #10691.

The required six-target exact-head run is in progress: https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/34121197635 (candidate efc00cb6, trusted workflow/base 1c603156, correlation 1921d808-ba2b-4b92-987a-6ff2a7ccf390).

#11077 still declares Fixes #11084, so the issue-linkage/selection concern remains for maintainer resolution. The two PRs no longer propose the same process-ownership implementation.

All six base risk signals bind expected SHA = tested SHA and record one failure with no skips/pending/unhandled errors. All six base cleanup registries contain failures: [].

Focused exact-head Cloud onboard observation

Its risk signal binds expected SHA = tested SHA = efc00cb6..., records one pass with zero failures/skips/pending/unhandled errors, and uses the recorded correlation ID. Cleanup passed sandbox removal, CA-fixture removal, and public-installer workspace removal with failures: [].

Run 34132862462 provides passing evidence for all six required behaviors in one attempt. The base control demonstrates that the one-line environment fix—not process inspection, signaling, or retry machinery—separates the original six-target failure cluster from the passing candidate.

Re-reviewed at head efc00cb6badab8804a45045dd92a1f36a0bbf6b1. No blocker remains. One major on merge evidence, three notes.

The previous blocker and both majors are resolved by deletion: the PR is now one allowlist entry in resolve-shared.ts:192 plus one test, the title and body describe that change, and #10691's process-agnostic contract is respected. The exact-base control (run 34122188002, all six targets did not bind on 1c603156) against the exact-head runs (34121197635 and 34123427591, all six passed) is the evidence the earlier revision lacked: same selectors, same trusted workflow, only the candidate differs.

Major 1 — the green checks on this head comes from body-edit runs, not from the test lane

The only gate-true CI run for efc00cb6 is 34120942673; it ended with cli-test-shards (8), cli-tests, and checks failed at 12:30Z. Four later gate false runs (body edits, every job skipped) each posted checks = success, the last two after that failure, so the PR page now shows the required context green. The shard-8 failure itself is not PR-owned: test/onboarding/onboard-fresh-create-identity.test.ts:950 fails with the same assertion and the same Gateway port 18080 is occupied output on main at 1c603156 (run 34114747276) and at 5ab3341f (run 34124649686). Please merge on that comparison, not on the green checks, or rerun the failed shard so the real lane records the result. The flake itself belongs in its own issue.

Notes

  • sanitized-capture.ts:26-29 still copies XDG_CONFIG_HOME manually after buildOpenShellSubprocessEnv now retains it; two Advisor specialists flagged the duplicate. Remove that one name from the loop and keep OPENSHELL_WORKSPACE. The previous revision already had this deletion.
  • The first cloud-onboard attempt died before any forward request with Sandbox 'e2e-cloud-onboard' entered Error phase before it became ready (waited up to 180s). The diff changes the environment only for children built through buildOpenShellSubprocessEnv (the forward child; sanitized reads already re-added XDG_CONFIG_HOME; Hermes portable callers override it from authority), so it cannot reach sandbox creation. The focused rerun is acceptable evidence.
  • The Advisor operability finding (a forward child that binds after the 30 s deadline is left running) is inherited from main and is the behavior Adopt OpenShell ForwardTcp for NemoClaw-managed host forwards #10691 accepted when it excluded signaling ForwardTcp processes. Disposition: no change in this PR. fix(e2e): retry transient OpenClaw provider turns #11077 still declares Fixes #11084; the base/head comparison here isolates the cause to the missing XDG_CONFIG_HOME, so the maintainers can resolve that linkage on the evidence.

What looks right

The test asserts the exact child environment (HOME, PATH, XDG_CONFIG_HOME, no NVIDIA_INFERENCE_API_KEY) at the spawnDetached boundary and would fail if the allowlist entry were removed. Runtime selection still passes gateway and workspace as arguments, so the config directory adds no second target authority. CodeQL 3065 is dismissed with a written reason; 3062 and 3064 point at deleted code and should close on the next Code Scanning analysis. All required checks other than the masked checks context are green on the head.

## 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.
