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

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 — 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 refactor(mcp): make lifecycle source-backed #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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change refreshes Debian security package pins, checksums, and snapshot sourcing across base and agent images. It updates security inventories, runtime assertions, staging inputs, Dockerfile contract data, tests, and Pi image qualification receipts.

Changes

Security image refresh

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native security package inputs
.github/workflows/managed-images.yaml, scripts/security/build-native-security-packages.sh, test/install/native-security-packages.test.ts, test/inference/managed/managed-image-staging-qa-workflow.test.ts
The staging overlay includes the native package build script. The Python security package uses the deb13u5 revision, new architecture checksums, and a fixed Debian snapshot. Tests cover package construction, checksum validation, and staging wiring.
Image package pins and inventories
Dockerfile*, agents/*/Dockerfile*, src/lib/sandbox-base-image/security-inventory.ts, test/helpers/*
Base and agent images use updated Debian package revisions. Security inventories and installed-package checks require the updated Python HTML parser package. Hermes validation accepts its published deb13u4 package version.
Dockerfile contracts and validation
src/lib/onboard/dockerfile-remote-dashboard-bind-contract.ts, test/platform/images/*, test/runtime/sandbox/*
The Dockerfile instruction allowlist includes a new digest. Contract and runtime tests validate refreshed package versions and Hermes compatibility on both architectures.
Pi image qualification receipts
ci/pi-agent-qualification-v1-linux-amd64.json, ci/pi-agent-qualification-v1-linux-arm64.json, src/lib/agent/candidate-authority.ts
Pi qualification artifacts and accepted receipt digests match the new image builds.

## 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 `c356332eae2c5bcc03fd64933db704b91795d980` before the
repair.

### Related issues

Refs #11548.

## Changes

- Preserve explicit inference absence through Dockerfile arguments, both
real configuration generators, and the internal startup profile.
OpenClaw and Hermes accept an absent profile; other agents retain their
existing requirements.
- Share the absence check between generation and startup so partial
inference input still fails ordinary validation. Real-generator
regression tests cover absent, configured, partial, and deferred
configuration.
- Retain normal image entrypoints, plugin integration, Hermes managed
restrictions, and dashboard seeding. Handle nullable startup profiles in
clone, rebuild, and export consumers.
- Exercise the existing managed inference configuration updater after
providerless generation. Failed route changes preserve the absent
configuration; invalid Hermes dashboard routing does not replace
existing state.

The E2E fixture validates restart inputs before stopping the gateway. It
restarts a selected user service, or calls the candidate CLI's existing
startup code for the registered gateway. A failed selected-service
restart retains that service for cleanup. Gateway health, sandbox
readiness, retained state, and agent turns remain separate assertions.
Unsupported OpenShell start/stop commands are removed from this fixture.
Production recovery behavior, network preparation, component schemas,
authentication, policy ownership, activation deadlines, and retries
remain unchanged.

## Verification

- Gateway fixture and receipt repair
`41c99ba87bf3e2f4c2e8e11525cd9324b6950d9f`: 88 E2E support tests, 18
receipt-refresh tests, and 15 candidate-authority tests passed locally
and on Linux from this committed source. The subprocess tests execute
the restart script with controlled registry/startup modules. Live
gateway startup also passed in the CI activation run below. CLI
type-checking and all repository checks passed, including the Pi receipt
gate.

- `npx vitest run --project integration
test/generation/providerless-agent-config.test.ts` — 33 passed on Linux,
zero skipped. The corrected test helper in
`0427b021a033dc79999386346a6928ca18085e73` supplies the selected
provider and agent identity to the real Dockerfile patcher. Its bytes
match the Linux test run.
- Affected startup, Dockerfile, clone, rebuild, and build-context suites
— 1,023 passed across 41 files. Agent generator, Hermes
policy/dashboard, and affected E2E support suites — 378 passed across
eight files. These runs overlap with other recorded runs; counts are not
additive.
- Full managed inference action suite — 295 passed across 20 files.
External route/service operations in these command tests are mocked.
- `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run typecheck:cli` —
passed.
- `npm run build:cli` and `npm --prefix nemoclaw run build` — passed.
- Linux AMD64 live validation of production commit
`903aa4a2045b8494df6f286ed17361c2c8e3b920` with OpenShell 0.0.116 — both
normal image builds passed; both sandbox supervisors reached `Ready`;
both agents started and passed health checks. The gateway had zero
providers before and after testing.
- Live OpenClaw configuration had no providers and no primary model; the
NemoClaw plugin remained enabled. Hermes had no routing keys and
retained manual approvals. OpenClaw's observed pre-install plugin
notices were nonblocking.
- Exact image IDs: OpenClaw
`sha256:4353b469eacb7f8d7cc04e6481c715077c51f9574ae2ab65874493a73a3809ec`;
Hermes
`sha256:ecd37be5e607857d96fd79e010b4d8712582cc8cef2c572266aeeb1ebcebad56`.
Runtime versions were OpenClaw 2026.7.1 and Hermes 0.20.6. Both retained
user `sandbox` and entrypoint `/usr/local/bin/nemoclaw-start`.
- Test sandboxes, their isolated gateway, and their empty test network
were removed after evidence collection. Unrelated workloads and retained
failure evidence were preserved.
- Secret scanning passed; the diff contains no secrets, API keys, or
credentials.

The Pi receipt gate passes locally. Both native Pi jobs in
[managed-image run
34727786488](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/34727786488)
built, published, and validated their images successfully. The
checked-in receipts preserve the downloaded contract bytes for source
`e44d6f1ee65e05bfab0949f01a91be31f497aaaf`, cohort
`ghrun-34727786488-1`; the authority contains their SHA-256 digests. Pi
image inputs are unchanged between that qualified source and this
repair. Merged package dependency #11634 also cleared the Deep Agents
Code staging-base failure.

CI on `41c99ba87bf3e2f4c2e8e11525cd9324b6950d9f` completed without
failed checks. The [CI
suite](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/34730058075)
passed all CLI shards, plugin and installer tests, type-checking, and
repository checks. The [managed-image
run](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/34730057979) passed
all three direct image/startup checks, both Pi image qualifications,
staging-base validation, and both OpenClaw MCP discovery passes.

The [managed runtime activation
job](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/34730057979/job/103653850532)
passed for OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code using published images
from this exact source and cohort `ghrun-34730057979-1`. Its artifact
records 12 agent turns, zero Dockerfile builds during activation,
onboarding, gateway restart, reconciliation, retained-state checks, and
destruction. Cleanup completed without failures. Agent turns used the
test inference responder; this does not qualify the providerless
external-component flow or a production inference service. This result
resolves the earlier gateway restart fixture failure.

## Review notes

Sensitive paths include `scripts/generate-openclaw-config.mts`,
`agents/hermes/**`, `src/lib/onboard/**`, candidate receipt authority,
and the reviewed startup runtime bundle. Self-review and the listed
tests cover the changes. The fixture addresses the selected-service
restart and missing-input review findings. CodeRabbit reviewed changes
through `41c99ba` and reported no new actionable comments. All nine [PR
Review Advisor
specialists](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/34730704378)
completed successfully; their artifacts were collected and checked
against this commit. Advisor findings concern the deferred rebuild
lifecycle and public Hermes guidance described below. The human
change-request review remains unresolved. Earlier bootstrap commits used
the disclosed Pi receipt exception; the final receipt commit also needed
that pre-commit exception because the gate compares committed history.
The committed receipt pair now passes the gate. The PR is not ready to
merge while validation or review remains unresolved.

Review also requests rebuilding and automatic upgrades while inference
is deferred. Existing rebuild preflight refuses before deleting the
sandbox when provider/model data is absent. That broader lifecycle
change remains pending a maintainer scope decision. The nullable
prior-profile reads support rebuild after inference is configured later.

Advisor also identified public providerless guidance that is restricted
to OpenClaw. The Hermes procedure and deferred-inference explanation are
deferred to `Docs / Post-Merge Catch-Up`, as permitted for `docs/**` in
an ordinary code PR. The owning repository guidance remains in this PR.
This documentation follow-up must retain the live qualification limits
below.

The earlier providerless Linux 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_effort` mode. Supervisors reported three skipped
filesystem rules; `/app`, `/run/nemoclaw/managed-startup-ca-bundle.pem`,
and `/run/nemoclaw/managed-startup-runtime.env` were 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.
