Outcome

Adds the base-trusted OpenClaw 2026.9.1 release-manifest digests required before a separate runtime-pin migration. This prerequisite PR does not change the selected dependency version and is ready for human review.

Reason

The sealed NemoPin handoff requires an exact OpenClaw 2026.7.1 to 2026.9.1 upgrade candidate so current-head CI, E2E, and qualification can prove the identified compatibility risks.

CodeRabbit follow-up for 7b9b722bd544f443aeb4cad57d2c44843b3cdd39:

  • Fixed the reviewed OpenClaw lock digest so it matches agents/openclaw/openclaw-runtime/package-lock.json. The original inline thread is resolved, and CodeRabbit completed the new-head review with no actionable comments.
  • Focused validation passed: exact SHA-256 equality and 37/37 reviewed-npm-audit-workflow tests. The latest-head reviewed-npm-audit CI job also passed.
  • All other regular CI, CodeQL, direct managed startup, and both OpenClaw MCP-discovery passes completed successfully.
  • Three image jobs failed on the unchanged current-main pin curl=8.14.1-2+deb13u4, which Debian no longer serves: Pi candidate image (amd64), Pi candidate image (arm64), and staging QA base permission regression (Deep Agents Code). The PR does not change either owning Dockerfile.
  • PR exact all-agent managed runtime activation failed after OpenClaw restart because the OpenShell gateway refused connections; cleanup then encountered the same unavailable gateway. The direct OpenClaw startup and both exact-image MCP-discovery jobs passed, and this PR does not change the gateway or runtime lifecycle path.

No unchanged-job rerun was triggered because this failure signature has no checked-in transient retry policy. The four failed image/runtime checks remain for maintainer disposition.

## Outcome

Restore Trixie-based managed image builds by refreshing exact Debian
package pins that are no longer available from the configured
repositories.

## Reason

The managed image jobs observed on PR #11504 fail first on the removed
curl `deb13u4` package. Correcting curl exposes additional stale exact
pins for libcap2-bin, e2fsprogs, socat, and the patched Python package
input, so these tightly coupled repository updates must move together.

### Related issues

- Refs #11504

## Changes

- Refresh curl, libcap2-bin, e2fsprogs, and socat pins across the root,
Pi, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code images.
- Rebuild the existing Python HTML parser security package from the
pinned Debian `deb13u5` snapshot inputs and update its exact inventory
consumers.
- Include that package builder in the existing Deep Agents staging
overlay and accept the resulting reviewed Dockerfile instruction hash.
- Preserve compatibility with the currently published Hermes base
package while requiring either the reviewed `deb13u4` or `deb13u5`
patched package and reporting the exact installed version in the
security inventory.
- Update only the existing contract assertions for these exact values;
no gateway behavior or MCP implementation changes are included.
- Record the exact AMD64 and ARM64 Pi candidate contracts produced from
the pre-receipt commit and authorize only their SHA-256 receipt digests.

## Verification

- Focused Vitest contracts — 221 tests passed across image pins,
security inventory, staging overlay, dashboard preservation, sandbox
provisioning, and Pi receipt freshness.
- Exact package installation in Node 22 and Node 24 Trixie images on
`linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64` — passed in all four combinations.
- Exact Hermes-base `socat=1.8.0.3-1+deb13u1` probe — Debian reports
that version as the candidate and installs it successfully on AMD64 and
ARM64.
- [Pi candidate producer run
34717583242](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/34717583242)
— AMD64 and ARM64 candidate build, publication-by-digest, runtime
validation, and contract upload passed from
`4a3560862a8262abe087b6e94431b03e825ba965`.
- Normal publication validation on the final repair commit — passed,
including all repository checks and the Pi qualification receipt
freshness gate.
- Commit hooks — formatting, lint, shell checks, Hadolint, secret
scanning, source-shape budget, growth guardrails, and commit-message
checks passed.
- The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

## Review notes

- Repository: `NVIDIA/NemoClaw`
- Reviewed commit: `75a783de73adc9d326947b5f0deafa6a9d39957f`
- Sensitive paths: `.github/workflows/managed-images.yaml`, `agents/**`,
`scripts/security/build-native-security-packages.sh`,
`src/lib/onboard/dockerfile-remote-dashboard-bind-contract.ts`, and
`src/lib/sandbox-base-image/security-inventory.ts`
- Method: author self-review, exact dual-architecture package probes,
focused contract tests, byte-for-byte comparison with trusted workflow
artifacts, and comparison with the already exercised dependency
corrections on PR #11163.
- Outcome: exact pinning, immutable snapshot inputs, package
inventories, receipt authority, and existing trust boundaries are
preserved. No independent pre-publication review exists; sensitive paths
await maintainer review.
- Bootstrap record: `4a3560862a8262abe087b6e94431b03e825ba965` was
published solely to generate same-commit Pi contracts. The final head
contains both exact receipts, passes normal publication validation, and
is ready for review while fresh CI completes. No CI failure is accepted
for merge.

Blocking findings:

  • One code-local blocker is attached inline.
  • [P2] Establish accepted scope for the exact OpenClaw 2026.9.1 trust expansion. The only linked NemoClaw issue, #10964, is a closed unrelated prepared-context defect; the upstream references are still marked needs: design or needs: unblock, while the existing accepted migration epic #10694 names exact 2026.8.1. Link an accepted issue/design that updates the target and defines ownership, lifecycle, compatibility, security, and validation expectations before expanding this base-trusted artifact authority.

Focused verification: exact head e9d272b3bcde5ae03592d76900f64889e47d5c24; 2/2 security-sensitive packets and all three review lanes complete. The required PR checks are green, but the decisive audit check uses the base commit's configuration and therefore does not exercise this candidate trust transition.

[P1] Keep the locked-graph identity coherent with the referenced lock. This entry declares openclaw@2026.9.1, but directory plus lockSha256 authenticate the exact-head lock whose root dependency and top-level OpenClaw record are both 2026.7.1. Once merged, the main/base-image audit runs this configuration against that same tree, and verifyReviewedNpmLock rejects the root before the network audit, blocking every dependent image build. The green PR audit does not cover this transition because it deliberately loads the base commit's audit configuration. For the stated prerequisite-only scope, retain the locked-graph identity at 2026.7.1 while adding separately reviewed 2026.9.1 archive identities; otherwise migrate the runtime package, lock, and all version owners atomically. Add a contract test that loads the committed audit configuration and checks each locked graph's root/top-level identity, SRI, tarball, and digest so the post-merge path cannot diverge again.

Fixed in c62c911. The openclaw-runtime locked graph now remains at 2026.7.1 and matches the referenced committed lock. The 2026.9.1 entries remain candidate archive identities only. A table-driven contract test now runs verifyReviewedNpmLock for every committed locked graph and checks its root version, top-level version, integrity value, registry URL, and lock digest. The focused audit workflow suite passed all 41 cases. The maintainer scope decision is recorded at #11504 (comment).

Maintainer scope decision for OpenClaw 2026.9.1:

I approve this candidate-only trust expansion as the next artifact-trust step under #10694. This decision does not approve a production pin or a support claim.

  • Ownership: NemoClaw maintainers own the reviewed audit metadata and the later NemoClaw migration. The OpenClaw project owns the published upstream packages.
  • Lifecycle: this PR may add immutable 2026.9.1 archive identities. NemoClaw must continue to install 2026.7.1 until the separate migration PR chore(deps): update OpenClaw to 2026.9.1 #11105 completes its gates.
  • Compatibility: 2026.9.1 remains a candidate. NemoClaw must not select it by default until the migration proves the required runtime, configuration, upgrade, recovery, and rollback behavior.
  • Security: each candidate archive must retain its exact package version, registry URL, integrity value, and reviewed evidence. The installed locked graph must continue to describe the exact 2026.7.1 lock until the migration changes both atomically.
  • Validation: this PR must add a test that compares every committed locked-graph identity with its referenced lock. The migration PR must pass dependency review, managed-image tests, exact-current-to-target upgrade and rollback tests, supported security checks, and the complete E2E suite before any production pin changes.

This comment records the accepted 2026.9.1 scope requested in the change review. Charan's code-local locked-graph finding remains required and will be fixed in this PR.

Approved. The candidate-only trust expansion now keeps the installed OpenClaw lock on 2026.7.1 while authenticating the 2026.9.1 archives, and the table-driven verifier proves every committed locked-graph identity against its exact lock. Accepted scope and all live required checks, DCO, and commit verification are satisfied. The optional activation failure is the separately tracked gateway-fixture defect in #11640 and does not exercise this trust-only delta.

## Outcome

Authorizes one exact OpenClaw 2026.9.1 locked-graph replacement while
keeping 2026.7.1 as the selected graph on main. This is the bounded
base-trusted handoff required for #11105 to pass the reviewed production
npm audit.

## Reason

The archive identities merged in #11504 authenticate the candidate
packages, but the base-controlled audit still rejects #11105 before it
can validate the new lock and package identity. Existing digest-only
replacement support cannot safely authorize a package-version
transition.

## Changes

- Add one optional same-package replacement identity to a reviewed
locked graph.
- Remove the obsolete digest-only replacement path so full package
identity is the only transition authority.
- Select the identity only by its exact reviewed lock SHA-256 and reject
a different package, duplicate digest, conflicting replacement modes, or
any unreviewed third digest.
- Record the exact OpenClaw 2026.9.1 package identity and #11105 lock
digest as the sole replacement.
- Carry the selected identity through the production materialization,
installed-graph verification, registry metadata verification, signature
audit, provenance, report, receipt, and WeChat cache/archive paths.
- Derive advisory inventory from the actual reviewed lockfiles so a
replacement cannot leave stale advisory ownership behind.
- Bind receipt issuance and verification to the trusted
primary/replacement lock digest set.
- Keep the committed 2026.7.1 graph coherent and active on main.

## Verification

- Focused audit, advisory, handoff, and receipt tests pass: 132/132.
- The exact 2026.9.1 compressed lock fixture runs through the production
audit entry point and verifies installed graph materialization, registry
integrity and tarball lookups, the hoisted signature graph, provenance,
and receipt emission.
- Final-cutover coverage proves the prior identity is rejected after the
replacement becomes the sole primary identity.
- The combined #11660 + #11105 graph audit passed under the exact CI
runtimes Node 22.23.2 and npm 10.9.4, including registry signature
verification for all six reviewed graphs.
- Formatting, source-shape validation, JavaScript-config type-check,
commit hooks, and pre-push publication validation pass.
- GitHub reports exact head `5b0c44f8585777e5285ae5b09e7efb53c895b72e`
as Verified.
- The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

## Review notes

- Resolves the Advisor findings around replacement provenance,
exact-lock consumer proof, advisory inventory ownership, full-entrypoint
verification, duplicate test ownership, and receipt-to-reviewed-lock
binding.
- The staged coexistence ends in dependent PR #11105: after this
prerequisite lands, that PR promotes 2026.9.1 to the sole primary graph
and removes the replacement authorization.
- Related migration: #11105
- Prior candidate archive trust: #11504
- Documentation review: no-docs-needed; this changes only internal
reviewed-audit authorization and tests.

malformed locks, and unapproved receipts are rejected.
* Audit results, provenance, and receipts now consistently reflect the
selected package graph.
* Advisory inventory uses declared archive packages and resolved
lockfile replacement details.

* **Tests**
* Expanded coverage for replacement identities, provenance, alias
handling, malformed locks, receipt verification, and security validation
scenarios.
