@coderabbitai review Updated candidate: This addresses the shared Security/Operability Advisor finding from the prior head. The two other Advisor claims are excluded with source evidence: the existing E2E catalogue enables the private-state checks (also executed in both native runtime artifacts), and snapshot/rebuild already call the central repair owner for config/hash. The private 0700 parent protects nonfixed ancillary state; no extra restore-mode owner or recursive chmod policy is introduced. Fresh CI/reviews and Docker/Podman host validation are in progress. The prior qualified images are reusable through the existing ancestor override because this exact repair changes no image COPY input or reviewed runtime-bundle source. No approval or merge is claimed. |

Outcome
Verified same-user OpenClaw sandboxes retain native
0700/0600state permissions through startup, native commands, config editing and recovery. Separate-user and unverified layouts retain2770/0660.Reason
Duplicate permission writers reversed native OpenClaw permissions. The existing guard should own the stateless mode decision, while native setup initializes agent state. Image-security tests also need their existing shared module compiled on the host before they can load.
Related issues
Closes #11257. Part of #11255. Independently based on main after #11268.
Changes
openclaw setup --baseline, refresh its hash, and propagate normalizer failures. Preserve managed Docker/Podman behavior and upstream-secret custody.build:policy-boundary, and OpenClaw security reuses that step. This fixes the missingsandbox-name.cjsimport in OpenClaw, Hermes and runtime-override suites without changing their test bodies or cleanup.Production remains nine lines smaller than main. Conflict resolution introduces no additional runtime behavior.
Verification
Current candidate:
9f6dd6b79e8ee4c5d1113fd1dc71d7d833ef0712. It merges main through915f34957c6b190603562541f8a6c33dc238837cto resolve the full-E2E formatting conflict. Independent syntax comparisons confirm the original PR test logic is preserved, including the automatically merged overlaps and three tests formatted under main's new rule. No runtime behavior was added by the resolution.Conflict-resolution checks: CLI and plugin builds passed; 185 focused tests passed with four existing skips; all 1,800 live assertions remain; formatting and independent source-preservation review passed. Canonical

Core CI passed. Two managed-image MCP checks remain failed during public-tunnel setup; the remaining review and merge gates still apply.One-off local compatibility validation passed for
9f6dd6bon Linux ARM64/Colima Docker 29.2.1, OpenShell 0.0.106 and Node 22.23.2. The baseline CLI and retained managed image came from915f349(qualified prior publication). All 23 comparison commands had their expected outcomes: doctor/fix, native doctor fix, exec exit statuses, config editing, gateway restart/recovery and completed gateway-backed agent turns. The container, ARM64 imagesha256:9838c60b465aa9647b5072b15ddf268d91263ffc0b26836aa18f173dc2c542bf, and packaged helpers remained unchanged. The old image retained 2770/0660 modes; workspace/session data and routing/auth settings were preserved. Native doctor made its own plugin/skills/wizard metadata updates. Synthetic upstream credentials were absent from the checked sandbox environment and managed configuration files. Cleanup removed all test resources and private credentials while preserving the user's existing container. No permanent test or source change was added. This is local Docker/ARM64 evidence, not Podman or full GitHub E2E qualification.The following qualification evidence applies to the preceding candidate
123ed3c80efd13d29b3dde53863f60fdf56c2fb7; it is not presented as a run of the merge commit.c0c9c46and123ed3c.ghrun-34440929489-1; contracts and retained evidence archives were authenticated. This is separate from the earlier image cohort reused by native E2E.npm run validate:prpassed against mainf1a5bc1031babb1d7ed15baa8fa2a6a53c76b6dfin isolated validation merge0fd9045bfc211cecf06b69ba84ae0095b698ad3c, with a clean tree. The reviewed image workflow was YAML data for unchanged validators.npm run docs, generated agent variants and all 69 guarded routes passed. Five existing Fern warnings outside the corrected passage remain.Broad native doctor remains separately recorded: exit 1 with 34 warnings per runtime, comprising 30 skill-dependency warnings and four generic security messages concerning the inference placeholder and sandbox-local gateway token. The selected state-integrity checks are clean. No exhaustive live secret scan is claimed.
The diff contains no secrets, API keys or credentials. Prior failed CI, image and image-contract attempts remain preserved. The earlier c0 activation failure was followed by one targeted activation-only rerun using unchanged images; its underlying pre-readiness cause remains unclassified. The native, shared-image and fresh image qualification runs listed above passed on their first attempt for the preceding candidate.
Review notes
NVIDIA/NemoClaw sensitive paths include
scripts/,src/lib/sandbox/,src/lib/onboard/and the image workflow. All nine c0c9c46 Advisor artifacts and paginated PR feedback were collected. The stale documentation finding is fixed here; the root-marker and nested-warning claims were rechecked against their existing source owners and excluded. The unbounded config-sync request remains an advisory observation: no hang or connection to the observed image-test failure was demonstrated, so this repair adds no timeout policy.The setup repair has independent before/after collection evidence and root review; the one-line documentation deletion has documentation validation and root review. CodeRabbit completed an actual review of
123ed3cwith no new inline findings. All nine applicable Advisor artifacts were reverified, and all six review threads remain resolved. A later self-hosted security job collected zero tests because of an inherited missing host-module prerequisite; that separate workflow defect is preserved and is not part of this conflict repair. CI and review for9f6dd6bmust settle before merge. The PR remains ready for review and unmerged; no admin bypass is requested.Signed-off-by: Aaron Erickson aerickson@nvidia.com
