Construct the complete inference object for providerless profiles.
When profile.inference is null, the spread adds no compatibility or inputModalities. validateManagedStartupProfile then rejects the candidate for both agents. Set OpenClaw defaults to compatibility: {} and inputModalities: ["text"]; set Hermes defaults to compatibility: null and inputModalities: null.

Check that each inference environment key is absent.
!startup.configurationEnvironment[key] also accepts an empty string. This test can pass while a providerless startup still exports an inference key. Check key ownership with !(key in startup.configurationEnvironment).
As per path instructions, tests must provide behavioral confidence rather than permit untested output states.

Published repair: Follow-up repair for the review of
Focused validation: 205 tests passed across six suites; three Python-dependent tests were skipped locally because PyYAML is unavailable. CLI type-checking passed. The unchanged vLLM resume timeout did not reproduce locally; no timeout or retry changes were made. The existing publication exception remains limited to the disclosed Pi receipt and trusted-base validation blockers. The normal commit attempt failed the Pi receipt gate; the subsequent commit skips only that repository-checks hook. No runtime pins or qualification receipts were changed. CI has separately demonstrated successful OpenClaw and Hermes image builds and direct managed startup on Other failures remain classified separately: Pi and Deep Agents Code base builds could not obtain the existing pinned curl package; a newer trusted workflow calls a Deep Agents Code validation script absent from this older candidate; documentation deletion and growth checks compare divergent base/candidate files. Advisor run 34715532309 skipped its specialists because CI failed. These are not successful review or qualification evidence. |

Resolved the PR branch conflict with main Validation after integration: nine affected suites passed, with 602 tests passed and three local PyYAML-dependent skips. CLI type-checking and reviewed-runtime regeneration passed. The test-size and growth checks passed locally. The missing Deep Agents Code validation script is now present from main, and the publication entry points, hook configuration, manifests, and lockfiles match the fetched canonical base. The normal commit attempt still failed the Pi receipt gate. Publication validation passed with only the repository-checks hook skipped under the already-disclosed Pi publication exception. Qualification receipts and runtime pins were not changed by this repair. New CI and review must evaluate this revision. Prior image and live results remain tied to their previously reported commits; external-component activation and successful managed inference have not been newly demonstrated. |

CI and automated-review disposition for All 12 CLI shards and the CLI aggregate passed. Plugin tests, installer integration, build/type-checks, CodeQL, Markdown links, and growth checks passed. OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code passed their direct managed-image build/startup checks. Both OpenClaw MCP discovery passes succeeded. CodeRabbit's assessment covers this commit and reports no unresolved actionable risk. The all-agent activation test failed after stopping the OpenClaw gateway. Its unchanged lifecycle fixture calls sandbox The existing package and qualification blockers remain: Pi and Deep Agents Code base builds cannot obtain the pinned curl package, and static checks require refreshed Pi qualification receipts for the shared startup bundle. Runtime pins and recovery behavior remain outside this repair's scope. Advisor run 34718676247 skipped its specialists because CI failed; it provides no review evidence. No workflow reruns or code changes were made for these inherited failures. |

Outcome
OpenClaw and Hermes can build their normal images and start providerless sandboxes without a selected model or inference route. Configuration represents absent inference explicitly until the existing managed inference lifecycle supplies a real route and model.
Reason
Providerless onboarding passed an empty model through Dockerfile preparation. OpenClaw rejected the generated empty model ID; Hermes rejected the missing
NEMOCLAW_MODEL. The managed startup profile also substituted a placeholder model, which did not represent a configured inference route.This follows #11584. Both generator failures were reproduced against main revision

Refs #11548.
Changes
No runtime pins, network preparation, component schema, authentication, policy ownership, activation deadlines, retries, or recovery behavior changed. The separate network-ordering repair is outside this PR.

npm run validate:prand the corrected test's pre-commit check failedpi-qualification-receipt-refresh: the changed shared runtime bundle requires refreshed AMD64 and ARM64 Pi qualification receipts. No receipts or authority digests were fabricated or changed. Canonical main12209d912484036957adcef54136bd38d5a5be03still contains this requirement. Its validation entry point, hook configuration, and helper files differ from the candidate, so the older validation execution has not been claimed as current trusted-base evidence.Review notes
Sensitive paths include
scripts/generate-openclaw-config.mts,agents/hermes/**,src/lib/onboard/**,src/lib/sandbox/build-context.ts, and the reviewed startup runtime bundle undertools/mcp-tool-discovery-runtime/**. Self-review and the listed tests cover the candidate changes; no independent pre-publication review is recorded. Independent review remains pending. Draft publication retains the known validation failures; it does not establish CI success or merge readiness. The local test-correction commit skipped the repository-checks hook after its recorded Pi receipt failure. Other applicable commit hooks ran.Live validation covered the normal generated-image path with capability union disabled. It did not exercise protected managed-image root application, external-component activation, or a successful managed inference request. Both normal policies used their existing
best_effortmode. Supervisors reported three skipped filesystem rules;/app,/run/nemoclaw/managed-startup-ca-bundle.pem, and/run/nemoclaw/managed-startup-runtime.envwere absent. These results do not qualify a stricter external policy. No placeholder paths or policy changes were introduced.The shared external-component installation could not support a second independent lifecycle for this test. Existing declarations were not reused or reset. Neither agent was inference-ready: a matching route, valid model configuration, and a successful managed inference request still need live qualification. Ordinary provider-backed behavior and deferred configuration are covered by the listed deterministic tests.
