Outcome

Provider lifecycle tests hold the current HOME host fence before calling synchronous sandbox stop. The Podman and socket-free provider fixtures pass for OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code.

Reason

The lifecycle lock change in #11490 requires synchronous callers to hold the host fence. These two fixtures still called stop directly, causing six failures. The main CLI shard failure reports the Podman cases.

Changes

Wrap both fixtures' stop calls in the existing withCurrentPortableHostFence and await their results. Preserve the real lifecycle lock and all existing assertions. Production code is unchanged.

The sibling stop unit tests already inject their lifecycle lock. The public CLI already acquires the host fence. The missed provider fixtures are now covered by the focused run below.

Verification

  • Before the fix: six failures across the two provider fixtures, all reporting the missing HOME fence.
  • npx vitest run --project cli src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/podman.test.ts src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/runtime-provider-contract.test.ts src/lib/actions/sandbox/lifecycle/lock.test.ts — 102 tests passed after the fix, including lock enforcement tests.
  • NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run typecheck:cli — passed. Initial setup exhausted the default Node heap.
  • NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run validate:pr — passed against canonical 74c628ef625177a0dc3a227accdc0379bfd1e252.
  • Normal pre-commit and commit-message hooks — passed.

The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Review notes

Self-review of NVIDIA/NemoClaw commit 4f8de45847007dbf34505e6c2ea3fd2ab6167281 covered both changed files under the sensitive src/lib/onboard/** path. The review checked the complete diff, sibling stop callers, and the host-fence enforcement tests. No production control changes or remaining fixture failures were found. Independent review is pending; this PR is a draft.

PR #11494 depends on this repair. I independently reproduced the same six failures on main and prepared the same fence wrappers. This PR appeared during that investigation, so I am reusing it instead of opening a duplicate.

One additional fixture issue applies to commit 4f8de45847007dbf34505e6c2ea3fd2ab6167281: the Podman lifecycle cases do not isolate HOME. withCurrentPortableHostFence therefore uses the caller's real home. The sibling MXC contract already owns a temporary home, but the shared test-state setup does not replace HOME.

The reviewed local repair adds a temporary home and cleanup to each parameterized Podman lifecycle case. It also records whether the fence exists during channel shutdown and checks that observation after stop returns:

const testHome = fs.mkdtempSync(path.join(os.tmpdir(), "nemoclaw-podman-lifecycle-"));
onTestFinished(() => {
  vi.unstubAllEnvs();
  fs.rmSync(testHome, { recursive: true, force: true });
  expect(fs.existsSync(testHome)).toBe(false);
});
vi.stubEnv("HOME", testHome);
const stopSandboxChannels = vi.fn(() => fs.existsSync(portableHostFencePath(testHome)));
// Existing start and fenced stop calls remain here.
expect(fs.existsSync(portableHostFencePath(testHome))).toBe(false);
expect(stopSandboxChannels).toHaveReturnedWith(true);

Do not put the assertion inside stopSandboxChannels: stopSandbox catches callback errors and converts them into warnings. Recording the observation and asserting afterward prevents a failed assertion from being swallowed.

Evidence for this extension, not a claim that this PR commit was tested locally:

  • Local candidate 1e5ac507d201cb3c3ddfdf0ec8f50cbe1062eccf: all 157 tests passed across the two provider files, src/lib/actions/sandbox/lifecycle/lock.test.ts, and src/lib/actions/sandbox/stop.test.ts, with --project cli --maxWorkers=1.
  • Fault injection that returned a false fence observation failed all three Podman lifecycle cases at the post-stop assertion. The final candidate restores the real observation.
  • The real local nine-specialist Advisor completed with no actionable findings after both repairs. All nine reports and native sessions were retained.
  • Trusted npm run validate:pr passed with NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=5120 against canonical base 74c628ef625177a0dc3a227accdc0379bfd1e252.

Production lifecycle code and lock enforcement remain unchanged. No approval or merge decision is implied.

The remaining CI failures at 4f8de45847007dbf34505e6c2ea3fd2ab6167281 have relevant existing work:

  • CLI shard 3 timed out after 5 seconds at setup-nim-flow-serving-profile.test.ts:64 (job). PR fix(ci): isolate platform compatibility tests #11212 adds an injected discoverManagedLlamaCppSelections observation to this fixture. Its report describes the same fixture reaching real llama.cpp host discovery. That is a relevant repair candidate; the timeout log alone does not prove causation.
  • Both OpenClaw MCP discovery jobs failed in retryAfterHermesRestartTransportFailure with rejected concurrent add was not a known Hermes restart transport failure (pass 1, pass 2). PR fix(e2e): retry serialized portable lock loser #11505 changes that failure path and merged at 2026-09-11T02:03:15Z as 1279b2f1b35790b767ff8252d9fa6e969d5f7d0f. The command-level artifact remains necessary to confirm its narrow lock-timeout signature applies.

The provider-relevant CLI shards and Rootless Podman qualification passed. No broad rerun, competing fix, or production change was made during this inspection.

Latest results for 1d3fabebc3e9be1c8f6bf30fcc9fab20ceaa2dc7:

The only failing check is all-agent managed runtime activation. Hermes onboarding failed at step 7/8, agent setup. The command returned exit code 1 after 97,824 ms; its receipt records timedOut: false and no signal. The assertion failed at test/e2e/live/managed-image-activation-e2e-helpers.ts:443.

bin/nemoclaw.js onboard --temp-managed-runtime-catalog <checkout>/managed-pr-catalog.json \
  --fresh --recreate-sandbox --non-interactive --yes --no-gpu \
  --agent hermes --name mi-act-hermes

The retained artifact reports that setup started and the Hermes container remained running. It does not expose the underlying setup error. The tested Hermes image digest was sha256:de03114e7fd2124dbd525e3203bc38284b4fc7d25ff47b2d12c3d39d971dd23d.

Cleanup records seven passed actions and no failures, covering both sandboxes, the inference responder, gateway, and Docker guard. This run used no Brev workspace. I have not classified the setup failure as a proven main regression or a transient failure, and have not requested a rerun. PR #11494 still depends on this PR's disposition.

Observe the portable-host fence in both stop fixtures.

Both stopSandboxChannels mocks only record a call, so the tests do not detect channel shutdown outside withCurrentPortableHostFence. Assert assertCurrentPortableHostFenceHeld(...) inside each mock. The contract fixture already isolates and restores HOME; add equivalent temporary-HOME setup and cleanup only to the Podman fixture.

## Outcome

Restore CLI typechecking on `main` by removing two duplicate test-helper
imports. Runtime behavior is unchanged.

## Reason

#11480 re-added imports that were already introduced by #11506, causing
deterministic duplicate-identifier failures in both runtime-provider
test files.

### Related issues

Refs #11480
Refs #11506

## Changes

- Remove the duplicate `withCurrentPortableHostFence` import from the
Podman test.
- Remove the duplicate `withCurrentPortableHostFence` import from the
runtime-provider contract test.

## Verification

- Affected runtime-provider and lifecycle-lock suites — 102/102 passed.
- `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run typecheck:cli` —
passed.
- `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run validate:pr` — passed.
- Diff reviewed — no secrets, API keys, credentials, or production-code
changes.

## Review notes

This is an isolated two-line test correction based on current `main`;
independent review and normal required CI remain required.

## Outcome

Provider deletion and detachment use the typed OpenShell adapter across
sandbox destruction, snapshot rollback, onboarding replacement, and
uninstall. Callers await cleanup before retiring registry state,
advancing recovery journals, or releasing lifecycle locks.

## Reason

This implements the accepted destructive-cleanup slice of #9806. It is
an alternative to the unmerged #11328. This contribution has not
modified or closed that PR.

### Related issues

Refs #9806 (Implementation Slice 8). Final consumer and plugin
disposition remains in #9813.

## Changes

- Consolidate recovery into one delete, authorized detach, and single
retry sequence. Preserve ownership checks, gateway selection, mutation
order, receipts, and failure decisions.
- Distinguish missing providers from missing sandboxes and uncertain
failures. Reject unrelated or contradictory attachment diagnostics
before recovery.
- Await cleanup through existing lifecycle callers and yield during
asynchronous registry-lock contention. Preserve subprocess failure
metadata and redact recovery diagnostics.
- Bind uninstall's existing command runner and environment to the
adapter. Remove the extra action wrapper proposed in #11328.
- Lower two architecture budgets to their measured counts. Production
TypeScript changes total 24 files, with 477 added and 504 removed lines.
Most of the 75-file diff is asynchronous test conversion and ownership,
ordering, and recovery coverage.

## Verification

- Focused adapter, replacement, MCP cleanup, and onboarding tests: 174
passed across six files.
- Forced-restore lifecycle tests: 25 passed, one retained skip, using a
local 15-second deadline for cold imports. The new direct caller test
fails when cleanup is removed, its await is removed, or messaging-only
scope becomes all registrations. No committed timeout changed.
- Trusted `npm run validate:pr` passed against canonical main
`e05c08844bfb305c2d116f0cf0ea47ff0bae1587`; normal commit and push hooks
passed. Every published commit is Verified.
- Current hosted CI passed nine CLI shards, static checks, typechecking,
builds, plugin tests, installer integration, and all-agent runtime
activation. Remaining failures are inherited stop-fixture and MCP
host-lock problems plus an unrelated vLLM timeout. #11506 repairs the
stop fixtures. The review-disposition comment links the failure
evidence; required CI remains a merge gate.
- `npm run review:local` was attempted but its temporary OpenShell
gateway refused the configuration connection. It produced no usable
report. Earlier local lifecycle runs also encountered cold-import and
host-stall timeouts; the focused repaired case passed afterward.
- The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials. Hook secret
scanning passed.

## Review notes

Self-review of NVIDIA/NemoClaw commit
`05e314974de345cc00565c543c81b0da5ad04347` covered the complete diff,
including sensitive `src/lib/onboard/**` changes, mutation ordering,
authorized attachments, ambiguous outcomes, recovery state, and
credential-safe diagnostics.

CodeRabbit completed the current revision with no substantive
outstanding finding; all 12 review threads are resolved. All nine
complete Advisor reports for the preceding revision were read. The
verification gap is addressed by the direct restore-path test. The
architecture finding concerns unchanged provider observation logic,
whose migration remains in #9813. See the [Advisor
disposition](#11488 (comment)).
The current Advisor run was skipped because required CI failed.
