Outcome

nemoclaw config export reads effective policy and configuration metadata from the same OpenShell SDK response. Adapter code also gains enforced TypeScript rules and formatting for existing files.

Reason

OpenShell 0.0.106 already returns the effective policy through the configuration RPC used by export. This removes a separate CLI read. Existing adapters previously escaped the added-files formatter and the plugin-only promise checks.

Related issues

Refs #10938, #9802, #9805, #9826.

Other policy consumers and mutations remain with #9805 and #9826. Inference-route reads remain on the CLI pending #9809 and #9828.

Changes

  • Convert the generated SDK policy to the existing OpenShell document format. TypeBox validates consumed JSON fields and supplies inferred converter types. The complete policy validator still checks the resulting document.
  • Preserve filesystem defaults, ports, REST matchers, MCP selectors, JSON-RPC restrictions, provider-composed rules, and revision precedence. Reject unknown wire fields and credentials, preserve input values, and canonicalize maps.
  • Reject encoded policies and exported YAML above 1 MiB. Check cancellation before conversion and after SDK loading. Released-message tests cover complex restrictions through the configuration reader, oversized input, YAML expansion, and cancellation. Deep MCP parameter paths no longer allocate every repeated prefix; a 256 MiB child-process regression covers that case.
  • Enforce unused-declaration, explicit-any, type-import/export, strict-equality, debugger, promise-handling, and exhaustive-switch rules across adapters. Production adapters also reject non-null assertions and nested ternaries. Hooks use the CLI TypeScript project for type-aware checks.
  • Format all existing adapters and keep them covered by commit hooks and npm run format:check. Simplify flagged code while retaining its behavior. Executable lint-hook and formatter regressions protect enforcement; existing adapter tests protect the cleanup.
  • Update owning guidance. The existing network-policy E2E target remains responsible for comparing exported policy with an independent CLI observation.

Verification

  • Credential-rejection follow-up (bc78cc6e1b3e6b91d7f08969dc032314c51d720c): the existing test inspects the complete error, including nested causes and stack details, and rejects any credential-canary exposure while retaining the schema/message assertions. All 21 tests in test/onboarding/openshell-sdk-export-reads.test.ts passed. Canonical npm run validate:pr passed against 270275f2a2b31a70fa72692d2ec304b5dffe8ee3 in the isolated validation environment.

  • npm run validate:pr: passed for 0bf1276dc140fac610f998b1fccdf7351c1246a4 using the canonical validation surface from e4ef251490902737909b7d2710c41ed549a07243 in an isolated container with no contributor credentials or network. Proposed validator changes were exercised separately.

  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/adapters src/lib/actions/config src/lib/domain/config --project integration test/onboarding/openshell-sdk-export-reads.test.ts test/automation/lint/adapters.test.ts test/automation/lint/adapter-formatting.test.ts test/automation/lint/config-export-complexity.test.ts test/onboarding/onboard-reservation-recreate.test.ts: 55 files, 976 tests passed.

  • npm run typecheck:cli, adapter Oxlint checks (including type-aware rules), and Oxfmt checks for all 125 adapter files: passed. Normal commit hooks, including the new adapter hook, passed.

  • Seven generated-policy comparisons against the installed OpenShell 0.0.106 CLI passed through an isolated loopback gRPC fixture: defaults/provider rules, REST, ports, both MCP selector forms, colliding MCP paths, and JSON-RPC.

  • npm run check at 7ff056a6: all static hooks and plugin tests/coverage passed; CLI/integration did not pass (34,321 passed, 260 failed, plus one failed suite). Correcting isolated-copy permissions, process reaping, home ancestry, and OpenSSL configuration cleared those environment failures in focused reruns. A paired run reproduced 109 remaining failures on canonical main in the same container, involving hardware detection, unavailable Docker state, JSON5 directory permissions, and subprocess fixtures. Seven older onboarding failures cleared after integrating the required baseline; those tests pass in the final 976-test run. A clean full-suite result still depends on CI.

The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials. Credential rejection tests use synthetic canaries.

Review notes

Self-review covers NVIDIA/NemoClaw commit 0bf1276dc140fac610f998b1fccdf7351c1246a4, including adapter conditionals, schema validation, policy conversion, cancellation, and enforcement. Sensitive paths AGENTS.md, .pre-commit-config.yaml, and tools/lint/format-added-files.sh await independent review on this candidate.

All CI and nine Advisor specialists completed for the previous published commit. This update addresses its two findings: generated-message conversion coverage and policy conversion limits and cancellation checks. Seven other specialists found no issue. CodeRabbit subsequently completed review of that commit with no actionable comments; its docstring-coverage suggestion is advisory. The updated commit requires its own CI and Advisor evaluation.

No live gateway E2E result is claimed. The isolated CLI comparison exercises serialization and the CLI process boundary. OpenShell SDK 0.0.106 exposes no receive-size option; the policy size check occurs after receipt and before JSON/YAML conversion.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Sandbox configuration exports now include the effective policy and applied revision.
    • Policy data is converted to readable YAML covering networking, filesystem, process, endpoint, port, MCP, and JSON-RPC settings.
    • Configuration and policy revisions are checked for consistency, including global policy precedence.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid, unknown, incomplete, oversized, or credential-bearing policies are rejected.
    • Serialization is deterministic and respects cancellation, returning timeout errors when interrupted.
  • Documentation

    • Updated SDK export and network-policy documentation to describe policy sources and validation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The adapter now reads effective policy from the SDK sandbox configuration response. It validates and converts policy data into canonical YAML, returns applied revision metadata, and adds adapter linting and formatting coverage.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to bc78c

Config export now reads and validates effective SDK policy data while rejecting unsafe policy content. Credential rejection coverage confirms rejected secret values are not exposed in errors, and no merge-blocking risk remains.

Keep the real NVIDIA API key out of the candidate-controlled guest.

Because checkout_sha can select a same-repository PR revision, main-only manual gating does not make the candidate trusted. The full Brev path writes NVIDIA_INFERENCE_API_KEY into the remote shell and runs Vitest from the baked candidate checkout. Candidate code can read or exfiltrate the key.
