entrypoint rather than calling bindHermesPortableOnboardingLifecycleLock
directly. Configure a non-default NEMOCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT and assert the lifecycle
operation receives the host-scoped receipt state directory, covering the
callback passed through runHermesPortableOnboardingFromOnboard and preventing
the obsolete path from escaping coverage.

## Outcome Hermes portable lifecycle operations now use the receipt-owned host lock root across CLI dispatch, start, stop, provider recovery, and connect. A failed OpenShell start is reconciled and rolled back even when it changed container state before reporting failure. ## Reason Follow-up review after #11336 merged found that non-default gateway ports could give start and stop opposite lock ordering, while interactive connect still selected the gateway-scoped lock. The same review found that a partially successful OpenShell start could return a failure without entering rollback. ### Related issues - Follow-up to #11336 - Refs #9203 - Refs #10423 ## Changes - Centralize Hermes portable lifecycle-lock root selection on the receipt-owned state directory. - Apply that selection to CLI commands, public start and stop actions, the Docker provider, and both connect lock boundaries. - Treat a nonzero or errored OpenShell start result as a failed mutation, reconcile exact container state, and roll back when running. - Add regressions for port 18080 stop and interactive connect plus partial-start rollback. ## Verification - `npm ci` — passed, including the CLI build. - Focused Vitest run for CLI locks, connect locks, portable lifecycle, Docker provider, start, and stop — 176 tests passed. - `npm run typecheck` — passed. - `npm run test:titles:check` — passed. - `npm run test-size:check` — 45 tests passed. - `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run validate:pr` — passed with no skipped applicable validator. - `git diff --check` — passed. - Reviewed diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials. ## Review notes The first canonical validation attempt reached `tsc-cli` and exhausted Node’s default approximately 4 GB heap. The identical gate passed after raising only the Node heap ceiling to 8 GB; no check was bypassed. --- Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas <34834085+prekshivyas@users.noreply.github.com> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Bug Fixes** - Improved sandbox lifecycle coordination for Hermes Portable environments, reducing conflicts during connect, start, and stop operations. - Failed OpenShell startup attempts now immediately trigger recovery and rollback handling instead of proceeding as successful starts. - Improved handling of interactive Hermes connections and nonzero startup responses. - **Tests** - Added coverage for lifecycle locking, connection behavior, startup failures, reconciliation, and rollback scenarios. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas <34834085+prekshivyas@users.noreply.github.com>

## Outcome Hermes Portable lifecycle operations now use one host-scoped lock policy. Start, stop, launch, connect, status, doctor, and recovery no longer acquire a gateway-scoped lock before entering Portable receipt authority. ## Reason PR #11336 fixed the immediate non-default-port lock path for onboarding, start, stop, and probe-only connect. Its review found that the policy still had three owners. Other supported lifecycle paths could acquire the gateway lock first, then enter code that required the Portable lock. Opposite lock order across commands could block concurrent operations. ### Related issues Refs #11336 ## Changes - Add one Portable lock policy owner for receipt classification and the host-scoped state directory. - Route supported async and sync sandbox lifecycle consumers through the same lock wrapper. - Acquire the Portable host fence before the receipt-owned lifecycle lock. - Make direct synchronous Portable callers fail closed unless they already hold the host fence. - Keep ordinary sandbox operations on their existing gateway-scoped lock. - Add serialization, non-default-port connect, and public onboarding boundary tests. - Lower the architecture budget after reducing direct lifecycle-lock fan-in. ## Verification - Focused CLI and integration suite — 240 tests passed across 11 files. - `npm --prefix nemoclaw run build` — passed. - `npm run build:cli` — passed. - `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run typecheck:cli` — passed. - `npm run checks:repository` — passed. - Codebase growth guardrails — 45 tests passed. - `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run validate:pr` — passed after each commit. - Git pre-commit and pre-push hooks — passed. - GitHub reports commits `47463f929e673410ce05ce70fff3122605ff2fb5` and `151a1e49800e6d98c380baccf56cf5e43783b45d` as Verified. - The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials. ## Review notes This PR changes onboarding and runtime lifecycle synchronization. It addresses the architecture and verification follow-ups from the [PR #11336 review advisor run](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/34442270462). The first CodeRabbit review found that direct synchronous callers did not enforce the host fence and that the connect test observed mock arguments. Commit `151a1e49800e6d98c380baccf56cf5e43783b45d` fixes both findings. The public connect test now accepts a valid host receipt while a copied gateway-scoped receipt is invalid. A local `npm run test:changed` run on the active GFN seat observed ambient host state in unrelated tests. CI must provide the broad isolated test result. The focused lock, connect, onboarding, status, doctor, and recovery tests passed. --- Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas <34834085+prekshivyas@users.noreply.github.com> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Improved lifecycle coordination for Hermes Portable sandboxes using consistent host-scoped state and receipt authority. * Prevented concurrent launch, stop, status, recovery, and connection operations from interfering with one another. * Corrected readiness checks when `NEMOCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT` uses a non-default value. * Aligned onboarding and runtime recovery with the same lifecycle authority and state location. * **Tests** * Added coverage for Portable locking, readiness checks, lifecycle serialization, and shared command behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas <34834085+prekshivyas@users.noreply.github.com>

Outcome
Hermes Portable sandbox lifecycle operations now keep their host authority consistent. Sandbox start holds the current HOME fence while the lifecycle lock is active, and onboarding binds that lock to the host-scoped Portable receipt state even when the process starts with a non-default gateway port.
Reason
The shared command wrapper held the HOME fence for probe-only connect, but not for direct start. Separately, onboarding passed the generic gateway-scoped lifecycle lock into the host-scoped Portable receipt transaction. With
NEMOCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT=18080, those paths diverged and recovery falsely reported that the lifecycle lock was missing. The Hermes Portable Ollama transaction also recorded provider version 1 before generic provider publication updated the same provider to version 2, causing restart recovery to reject the saved authority.Changes
