Outcome

This draft is current with main at 883fbe39fae2f31f12f585888aa763fd3d5f5b9c and exact head c3b8e345fe2dce93a7548540ed1db6c54ec4a04c. It prepares bounded Jetson/IGX Orin device-group preservation for OpenClaw container recreation, but it does not establish supported Jetson GPU behavior: physical IGX Orin acceptance through OpenShell and the maintainer product-scope decision remain open.

Reason

On the reported IGX Orin system, direct Docker reaches non-root cuInit(0)=0, while the supported OpenShell path returns 801. The sandbox boundary must preserve only device groups proven necessary by bounded Jetson device nodes, without granting a general root-launch or device-policy escape.

Related issues

Relates to #7610. This PR does not close or resolve the issue.

Changes

  • Centralize Jetson group normalization and supervisor argv rendering in docker-gpu-jetson-groups.ts; direct and managed recreation use the same resolver, and the former generic preserveJetsonDeviceGroupMembership flag is removed.
  • Require a real, non-symbolic-link /dev/nvmap character device before detecting Jetson paths or GIDs. Accept only the fixed Tegra node set plus /dev/dri/renderD<digits>, with bounded path, count, numeric GID, range, and uniqueness checks.
  • Install the root helper atomically as root:root mode 0500. It preflights every group record before mutation, verifies sandbox membership, and hands off only to /opt/openshell/bin/openshell-sandbox for exact OpenClaw identity.
  • Reject existing image groups unless the GID belongs to video, render, or the helper's exact nemoclaw_gpu_<gid> name. The generated name is reusable after a failed post-mutation membership check, so a retry can complete without widening accepted mappings.
  • Keep one wrapper owner per path. Generic recreation wraps the OpenShell supervisor in the clone builder; managed bootstrap wraps the inspected supervisor inside its trampoline command, and the clone builder recognizes the exact trampoline without nesting a second helper.
  • Keep /opt/nvidia read-only and grant read-write policy only to detected bounded Jetson device nodes. No Hermes behavior or general device-policy expansion is added.
  • Move the root-helper integration coverage to the behavior-owned sandbox test directory and keep the WSL exclusion exact. The E2E guidance names the trusted Ubuntu 24.04 PR CLI coverage shards as the Docker-backed integration-test owner.
  • Remove added workflow/Dockerfile source-text assertions after Advisor identified that they lacked an approved source-shape exception.
  • Keep the existing jetson-nvmap-gpu live selector CPU-only; do not use it as CUDA evidence.
  • Remove proposed public troubleshooting text until product scope and physical acceptance are established.

Verification

  • npm run build:cli — passed for the final source change.
  • npm --prefix nemoclaw run build — passed; refreshed generated shared policy declarations used by CLI typechecking.
  • Affected clone/recreate, startup-command, managed-bootstrap/runtime, GID/path, and policy source tests — 163 passed.
  • Focused helper and production-labeled managed-bootstrap boundary tests — 67 passed. Focused managed adapter rerun after type narrowing and export compatibility — 40 passed.
  • Root-helper container behavior, including failed membership verification followed by a successful retry using the exact generated group — 15 passed.
  • Exact changed-behavior suite before the final review repairs — 255 passed across 10 affected source/integration files. The unchanged base-owned Dockerfile-fragment test exceeded its fixed subprocess timeout only under concurrent load, then passed 2 tests in isolation.
  • test/runtime/sandbox/sandbox-build-context.test.ts — 13 passed and 2 platform tests skipped in isolation.
  • Dockerfile contract — 4 passed. Growth guard — 32 passed.
  • npm run source-shape:check — passed with 0 source-shape cases and 0 invalid exceptions after removing the Advisor findings.
  • npm run checks:repository — passed, including exact Vitest project membership.
  • npm run docs — passed with 0 errors for the final evidence correction.
  • npm run typecheck:cli — passed after the final review repair.
  • npm run validate:pr — passed on final canonical base 883fbe39f. Applicable formatting, repository, source-shape, growth, ShellCheck, Hadolint, gitleaks, Markdown lint, commitlint, and CLI pre-push TypeScript checks passed.
  • Normal SSH push hooks — applicable CLI TypeScript checks passed; unchanged lanes were skipped.
  • GitHub commit verification — all 26 branch commits are Verified; the branch is 0 commits behind the recorded canonical base.
  • Exact-head CI — passed. All 12 Ubuntu 24.04 CLI coverage shards, the merged coverage gate, static checks, builds, typechecks, plugin tests, installer integration, package audit, and aggregate checks are green. The immutable shard 6 artifact records all 15 test/runtime/sandbox/jetson-device-group-bootstrap.test.ts cases passing.
  • Exact-head managed-image checks — passed. OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code direct startup passed; both repeat OpenClaw MCP-discovery passes and real all-agent managed runtime activation passed.
  • PR Review Advisor — passed on exact head. All nine specialist artifacts were read; behavior, code reduction, dependency use, architecture, documentation, migration completion, operations, test design, and trust report no remaining finding.
  • Codebase growth, security scanning, and CodeQL/code quality — passed on exact head.
  • CodeRabbit — the draft-only notice contains no review finding. No CodeRabbit inline comment exists on the PR.
  • Secret review — no secrets, API keys, or credentials are introduced.
  • Physical Jetson acceptance — not run. No available authorized selector proves GPU-enabled non-root cuInit(0)=0 through the supported OpenShell path on physical IGX Orin. The CPU-only jetson-nvmap-gpu selector was not dispatched as a substitute.

Review notes

This remains a draft. The actionable review findings are addressed: /dev/nvmap anchors discovery; complete group-record preflight precedes mutation; direct and managed paths share one leaf resolver; the generic flag is removed; source/test growth passes; unapproved source-shape additions are removed; managed bootstrap cannot receive a nested helper; an existing in-image group-name collision fails closed unless it is the reviewed video or render mapping; and an exact helper-generated group remains usable by a bounded retry after a failed membership check.

The final Advisor run is clean. Its parent run correctly asked for a named Linux owner for the root-helper contract, but its workflow search missed the trusted base-controlled CLI coverage action. .github/actions/ci-cli-coverage-shard/action.yaml selects the complete integration project on the PR workflow's Ubuntu 24.04 jobs, and stable integration sharding assigns test/runtime/sandbox/jetson-device-group-bootstrap.test.ts to shard 6. The exact-head shard artifact confirms all 15 cases passed. The test was not duplicated into WSL, where Docker availability is optional.

The Advisor suggestion to move the outer compatibility bridge to setpriv --groups was not applied. The existing setpriv transition occurs inside the OpenShell startup handoff, while this helper must start that fixed supervisor as root; moving the drop outward would change supervisor authority, and numeric setpriv groups would retain the same GID-based file authority. The security fix instead constrains existing image mappings before mutation. The Advisor GB300 matrix suggestion concerns pre-existing main tests outside this PR's added Jetson cases and was not mixed into this security change.

Before approval, a maintainer must record the product ownership, lifecycle, compatibility, security, and validation decision for this supported surface. An authorized physical IGX Orin JetPack 6.2 lane must then run exact head c3b8e345fe2dce93a7548540ed1db6c54ec4a04c through the supported GPU-enabled OpenShell path and demonstrate non-root cuInit(0)=0, with repeatable exact-SHA run links. Deterministic tests and direct Docker results do not satisfy that acceptance condition.

All available required CI and automated review checks are green for the exact head. The stale CHANGES_REQUESTED review state remains because the product-scope and physical-hardware acceptance decision is not mechanically dismissible; no waiver is claimed.

Reviewed exact draft head fff5a76.

The proposed implementation is appropriately fail-closed for its draft purpose: it derives supplementary groups only from existing non-symlink Jetson character devices, validates numeric group IDs, keeps the helper root-owned, limits the root action to group setup plus the OpenShell supervisor handoff, and adds focused policy/recreation/bootstrap tests. The documentation correctly avoids claiming CUDA success.

This cannot be approved or leave draft state. The repository product-scope gate is still unmet, #7610 remains open, and the only reproduced IGX Orin result is that non-root cuInit(0) fails even with the existing groups. The PR therefore has no evidence that these broader preserved groups establish the supported sandbox-user CUDA contract. GitHub also reports the branch CONFLICTING/DIRTY against current main, and the documentation review is explicitly blocked. Resolve the product decision first, reconcile with current main, then obtain exact-head Jetson hardware evidence through the supported OpenShell path proving cuInit(0)=0, lifecycle/recreation behavior, and the least-privilege device/group set; rerun docs and sensitive-path review afterward.

Security review:

  • Input validation: PASS — device paths, symlink state, character-device type, and numeric group IDs are bounded and validated.
  • Authentication and authorization: WARNING — supplementary group membership expands device authority and still lacks accepted least-privilege hardware proof.
  • Secrets and sensitive data: PASS — no credentials or sensitive payloads are introduced.
  • Injection risks: PASS — group identifiers are numeric and the root helper does not evaluate caller-supplied shell fragments.
  • Data exposure and privacy: PASS — no new data egress or logging surface.
  • Cryptography: PASS — no cryptographic behavior changes.
  • Dependencies and supply chain: PASS — no dependency or artifact-source changes.
  • System security: FAIL for approval — the core non-root CUDA security/compatibility postcondition remains unproven and product ownership is undefined.
  • Testing and verification: FAIL for approval — #7610 is unresolved, exact-head Jetson hardware evidence is absent, docs review is blocked, and the branch conflicts with current main.

Files reviewed: all 40 changed Jetson device/group policy, clone/recreate/create, startup/bootstrap, managed-runtime, Dockerfile/build-context, workflow, documentation, and test files; linked issue #7610 and automated review evidence.

Reviewed commit fff5a76e22c1c3c57731a82c09d9a2bd7155a0eb as a security-critical Jetson policy and root-helper change.

I did not find an additional correctness or security defect in the current diff. The helper validates the complete bounded GID set before mutation, requires root, accepts only the fixed OpenShell supervisor handoff, verifies the resulting membership, and fails closed. The policy path is anchored on a real non-symlink /dev/nvmap character device and grants only the enumerated device paths.

Security review: secrets PASS; input validation PASS; authentication/authorization PASS; dependencies PASS; error handling PASS; cryptography N/A; configuration/environment PASS; security tests PASS for the implemented boundary; system security BLOCKED for merge.

This is not an approval. The PR is correctly still draft and currently conflicts with the base branch. Its stated merge gates remain material: maintainer product-scope acceptance, resolution of #7610, real supported-path Jetson evidence showing cuInit(0), and completion of the sensitive-path/broad verification gates.

Refreshed the draft through current main (b4b66806c, including #9347 and the latest test-loop conversion) at head 15330cddd.

The only overlap was initial-policy.test.ts; the resolution preserves all Jetson policy regressions and the upstream table-driven Station boundary test. Exact-head validation: 3 focused files / 76 tests passed, test-loop scan is back at the current-main 743-loop baseline, repository/pre-commit hooks passed, and pre-push CLI/plugin type checks passed.

The branch is conflict-free again. Draft exit conditions remain unchanged: maintainer product-scope acceptance, #7610 resolution, and supported-path physical IGX Orin cuInit(0)=0 evidence.

Reviewed exact draft head 15330cddd313eda2d9d18aa9feba9b245d96c085.

I found no additional code-level blocker in this revision. The bootstrap boundary is fixed to the OpenShell supervisor, device/group inputs are bounded and validated, Tegra discovery rejects symlinks and non-character devices, failures are fail-closed, and the exact-head required checks are green.

This is not an approval. The PR's own draft-exit conditions remain unmet: #7610 is still open, the expected non-root cuInit(0) = 0 result has not been demonstrated on supported physical Jetson/IGX hardware, and maintainer acceptance of the product scope is not recorded. Please keep this draft until those conditions are satisfied.

Security review:

  1. Secrets/credentials — PASS: no credential material or secret-handling path is introduced.
  2. Input validation — PASS: GIDs, device paths, argument shape, helper path, and supervisor target are constrained.
  3. Authentication/authorization — BLOCKED FOR APPROVAL: supplemental device-group membership expands sandbox device authority and still needs the required least-privilege hardware validation.
  4. Dependencies — PASS: no new third-party dependency or supply-chain source is added.
  5. Error handling/logging — PASS: invalid or incomplete device/group state fails closed with bounded diagnostics.
  6. Cryptography/data protection — N/A: no cryptographic or protected-data path changes.
  7. Configuration/security headers — PASS: the managed bootstrap and fixed supervisor boundary are explicit; no web security-header surface changes.
  8. Security testing — PASS for the simulated implementation tests; BLOCKED FOR ACCEPTANCE on the required physical Jetson/IGX test.
  9. System security — BLOCKED FOR APPROVAL pending the real-hardware cuInit(0) proof and product-scope acceptance.

I also completed the cross-issue sweep for findings from this review and found no separate, actionable issue candidate beyond the tracked #7610 prerequisite.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Why this blocks

  • preserveJetsonDeviceGroupMembership appears 28 times across 14 production files.
  • It is derived only from agent identity, then threaded through generic create, GPU, patch, and managed-bootstrap interfaces.
  • Direct and managed paths independently wrap argv, and managed bootstrap imports its bootstrap string from the clone implementation.

Refactor direction

  • Give docker-gpu-jetson-groups.ts one normalized resolver and renderer that returns either null or a bootstrap plan with detected GIDs and wrapped argv.
  • Derive eligibility at the leaf from existing agent identity.
  • Have both recreation paths consume the same wrapper helper.

Expected result

  • Remove the optional flag from generic interfaces and calls.
  • Centralize bootstrap and argv ownership so direct and managed implementations cannot drift.

Blocking issues remain at exact head 94e6e89c74f588e9b16a722d3d12a8722ffb93b4:

  1. Product and hardware acceptance needs a maintainer decision, not a mechanical repair. The PR description correctly says that #7610 remains open, maintainers have not accepted the Jetson GPU product scope, and the supported OpenShell path has not demonstrated non-root cuInit(0)=0. The issue evidence still reports direct Docker success but OpenShell execution returning 801. Because this change expands sandbox device policy and supplementary-group authority, deterministic command tests cannot establish the least-privilege or compatibility contract. Please record the product ownership/lifecycle/security decision and provide exact-commit physical IGX Orin evidence through the supported OpenShell path before approval.

  2. The requested design simplification is still outstanding. preserveJetsonDeviceGroupMembership remains threaded through generic startup, sandbox-create, GPU-flow, patch, recreation, and managed-bootstrap contracts (49 source/test occurrences). Eligibility is derived from agent identity, while direct and managed paths separately wrap the startup command. Resolve the existing review by centralizing Jetson group detection and argv rendering at the leaf, and remove the optional flag from generic interfaces so the paths cannot drift.

  3. Current CI is red. cli-test-shards (11) fails the growth guard because src/lib/onboard/sandbox-gpu-create-flow.test.ts is 1,514 lines against its 1,500-line budget. static-checks, cli-tests, and the aggregate checks job consequently fail. Split or relocate the added cases rather than weakening the budget.

The earlier PR Review Advisor security and documentation findings are addressed in this head: /dev/nvmap now anchors group discovery, and the helper preflights the complete group database before mutation. The latest advisor run did not produce a new assessment because its specialist sessions were unavailable, so it does not replace the older applicable findings or this review.

Security rubric: secrets PASS; input validation PASS; injection PASS; dependencies PASS; data exposure PASS; cryptography N/A; error handling PASS; authentication/authorization and system security BLOCKED pending least-privilege hardware evidence and product-scope acceptance; verification FAIL while required CI is red and the supported-path acceptance result is missing.

Status update:

We originally paused the Jetson GPU path because of an OpenShell blocker, not because we dropped the work. On the same Jetson, CUDA worked as the normal non-root user through direct Docker (cuInit(0)=0) but failed through OpenShell (cuInit(0)=801). That isolated the remaining problem to the OpenShell boundary: the Jetson CDI device paths and supplemental Linux groups were not being carried completely into the inner sandbox.

The upstream work is tracked by NVIDIA/OpenShell#1606 under the GPU roadmap NVIDIA/OpenShell#1444. NemoClaw PR #8910 preserves our side of the Jetson GPU integration while that contract is being fixed; the CPU Golden Path remains separate and does not depend on this draft.

I followed up on the OpenShell blocker before our all-hands E2E push. We then intentionally paused feature integration this week to focus on E2E. OpenShell now has the fix split into three active PRs:

The stack is open and its GPU E2E, including ARM64, is passing, but it still needs review, clean required CI, and validation of our exact physical Jetson non-root cuInit(0)=0 case. After the E2E push settles and the upstream stack is ready, the next step for #8910 is to test that exact OpenShell path on Jetson, then finish the remaining NemoClaw review and CI work.

Exact-head refresh is published at 6462718835df4dfd3f215b04594400415bf69e49, current with canonical main dc2e2a961d66ad01fca0dc374610a8eba71df852 (20 ahead, 0 behind; every branch commit is GitHub Verified).

This revision addresses the outstanding mechanical review:

  • removes all preserveJetsonDeviceGroupMembership plumbing;
  • gives direct and managed recreation one normalized leaf resolver/renderer;
  • requires valid /dev/nvmap anchoring and bounded fixed/render device paths;
  • bounds and validates supplementary GIDs;
  • preflights the entire group database before mutation;
  • keeps the root handoff fixed to the OpenShell supervisor for exact OpenClaw identity;
  • moves the helper integration test out of the prior growth-budget hotspot; and
  • removes unapproved public troubleshooting claims.

Exact-head local evidence: CLI and plugin builds passed; CLI typecheck passed; affected behavior tests passed (the combined run had 270 passes and two build-context duration timeouts under concurrent host load, followed by an isolated 13-pass/2-platform-skip build-context run); npm run validate:pr passed twice; source-shape, codebase-growth, repository, lint, shell, Dockerfile, secret, and pre-push type checks passed.

I did not dispatch jetson-nvmap-gpu: that selector is explicitly CPU-only and cannot prove this PR's acceptance contract. The remaining non-mechanical gate is an authorized physical IGX Orin JetPack 6.2 run at this exact SHA through the supported GPU-enabled OpenShell path, demonstrating non-root cuInit(0)=0 with repeatable run links, plus the maintainer product-scope/ownership decision. Direct Docker or deterministic mocks are not substitutes.

Required CI and PR Review Advisor are now running for this SHA. The PR remains draft.

PR Review Advisor remediation is published at exact head 2d63cc8d32092ac1b322340b22acb8c35ce3a656, current with canonical main 1806106f9126636b3e4a6d3cef620aaf07e199f0 (22 ahead, 0 behind; all 22 branch commits are GitHub Verified).

The completed Advisor run for 6462718 reported no behavior, architecture, trust, operations, documentation, dependency-use, migration-completion, or code-reduction defect. Its two valid test-design blockers were source-text assertions without approved source-shape exceptions. Commit c23e69ee618fb4ec20cb2bedfdd15e1d5af9aa1e removes both additions and installs the Jetson helper atomically with COPY --chown=root:root --chmod=0500, eliminating the later Dockerfile fragment dependency. The behavior-focused root-helper container test remains.

Exact-head evidence after the final main merge:

  • changed-behavior suite: 255 passed;
  • unchanged base permission fixture: 2 passed in isolation after its fixed subprocess timeout was exceeded only under concurrent load;
  • root helper, managed bootstrap, clone/recreate, startup command, policy, workflow selection, and watch-trigger coverage passed;
  • Dockerfile contract: 4 passed;
  • growth guard: 32 passed;
  • source-shape: 0 cases and 0 invalid exceptions;
  • repository checks and exact Vitest project membership passed;
  • CLI and plugin builds passed;
  • npm run validate:pr passed;
  • normal pre-push checked-JavaScript configuration and CLI TypeScript checks passed.

The final required CI and Advisor rerun are now in progress. The remaining acceptance boundary is unchanged: maintainer product-scope/ownership approval and an authorized physical IGX Orin JetPack 6.2 exact-SHA run through the supported GPU-enabled OpenShell path demonstrating repeatable non-root cuInit(0)=0. The CPU-only Jetson selector was not dispatched as a substitute. The PR remains draft.

Final review remediation is published at exact head 7f4f93c99538c945154183cd673665b51def9117, current with canonical main 883fbe39fae2f31f12f585888aa763fd3d5f5b9c (24 ahead, 0 behind; all 24 branch commits are GitHub Verified).

The 2d63cc8d Advisor run exposed two valid defects, both fixed in signed commit 42141926392bc919ac0f1e29ff57634bc0e3e017:

  • Managed bootstrap now owns the single helper wrapped directly around the inspected OpenShell supervisor. The clone builder recognizes the exact managed-bootstrap trampoline and does not add a second wrapper. A production-labeled OpenClaw fixture asserts the trampoline entrypoint and exactly one helper invocation.
  • An existing in-image group with a host GPU GID now fails before account or supervisor mutation unless the fixed group name is the reviewed video or render mapping. A shadow collision regression proves the fail-closed path.

The suggested outer setpriv --groups replacement was not applied: the existing privilege transition is inside the OpenShell startup handoff, while this bridge must start that fixed supervisor as root, and numeric setpriv groups retain the same GID-based authority. The GB300 matrix suggestion applies to unchanged main tests outside this PR's Jetson additions.

Final local evidence: affected source suite 163/163; helper/managed boundary 67/67; focused managed adapter 40/40; CLI typecheck and build passed; npm run validate:pr passed on base 883fbe39f; normal pre-push CLI TypeScript passed. Required CI and Advisor are now rerunning for this exact SHA.

The remaining acceptance boundary is unchanged: maintainer product-scope/ownership approval and an authorized physical IGX Orin JetPack 6.2 exact-SHA run through the supported GPU-enabled OpenShell path demonstrating repeatable non-root cuInit(0)=0. No CPU-only or direct-Docker result is presented as a substitute. The PR remains draft.

Final automated-review repair pushed as 5ade992f0d9324bb0c9ea33a5610e590018b302d (base 883fbe39fae2f31f12f585888aa763fd3d5f5b9c). The root helper now treats only its exact nemoclaw_gpu_<gid> name as a reusable generated mapping, in addition to reviewed video and render mappings. This preserves the existing GID/name validation while allowing a retry after the helper created the group but the later sandbox membership check failed. The container behavior test forces that first-attempt failure and confirms the second attempt reuses the exact group, adds membership, and starts the fixed supervisor; 15 tests pass. npm run validate:pr and normal pre-push CLI typechecking pass. All 25 branch commits are GitHub Verified and the branch is 0 behind the recorded base. Fresh CI and Advisor results for this exact head are pending. Physical IGX Orin OpenShell acceptance was not run and remains required; the CPU-only selector was not used as substitute evidence.

Advisor evidence correction pushed as exact head c3b8e345fe2dce93a7548540ed1db6c54ec4a04c (base 883fbe39fae2f31f12f585888aa763fd3d5f5b9c). The final artifacts on parent 5ade992f0 correctly asked for a named Linux owner for the root-helper contract, but their workflow search missed the trusted base-controlled CLI coverage action: .github/actions/ci-cli-coverage-shard/action.yaml selects the complete integration project on the PR workflow's Ubuntu 24.04 jobs. Stable integration sharding assigns test/runtime/sandbox/jetson-device-group-bootstrap.test.ts to shard 6; job 99152088296 on run 33271990115 passed. The two E2E READMEs now name that exact CI owner. I did not duplicate the test into WSL, where Docker availability is optional. npm run docs, growth (32 tests), source-shape, repository checks, and full npm run validate:pr pass. All 26 branch commits are GitHub Verified and the branch is 0 behind the recorded base. Fresh exact-head CI and Advisor confirmation are pending. Physical IGX Orin OpenShell acceptance remains unrun and required.

Final exact-head audit for c3b8e345fe2dce93a7548540ed1db6c54ec4a04c, based on canonical main 883fbe39fae2f31f12f585888aa763fd3d5f5b9c (26 ahead, 0 behind; all 26 branch commits GitHub Verified):

  • CI / Pull Request passed. All 12 Ubuntu 24.04 CLI coverage shards, merged coverage, static checks, builds/typechecks, plugin tests, installer integration, audit, and aggregate checks are green. The shard 6 artifact records all 15 test/runtime/sandbox/jetson-device-group-bootstrap.test.ts cases passing, including complete preflight, non-root and symlink rejection, fail-closed membership verification, and retry reuse of only the exact generated group. The earlier parent-run shard 10 fixed-timeout failure did not reproduce: exact-head shard 10 passed without a rerun.
  • Managed images passed. Exact PR OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code startup passed; both repeat OpenClaw MCP-discovery passes and real all-agent managed runtime activation passed.
  • PR Review Advisor passed. I read all nine exact-head specialist artifacts; behavior, code reduction, dependency use, design/architecture, documentation, migration completion, operations, test design, and trust report no remaining finding.
  • Codebase growth, security scanning, and CodeQL/code quality passed. The full status rollup has no pending or failed check. CodeRabbit's draft notice contains no finding, and the PR has no CodeRabbit inline comment.
  • The immutable feedback collection has no inline review comment and no new review after this exact head. The two stale CHANGES_REQUESTED reviews are mechanically addressed for resolver ownership, generic flag removal, growth, CI, /dev/nvmap anchoring, and complete preflight. Their product/hardware condition remains open and was not dismissed or waived.

Physical Jetson acceptance was not run. The existing jetson-nvmap-gpu selector forces CPU mode and cannot prove this contract, so it was not dispatched as substitute evidence. Before this draft can be approved, maintainers must record the product ownership/lifecycle/compatibility/security/validation decision, and an authorized physical IGX Orin JetPack 6.2 GPU-enabled supported OpenShell lane must run this exact SHA and demonstrate non-root cuInit(0)=0 with repeatable exact-SHA links. Direct Docker and deterministic CI do not satisfy that acceptance condition.

Reject non-root OpenClaw containers before replacement.

When Config.User is non-root, buildDockerGpuCloneRunArgs preserves it while selecting the root-only Jetson bootstrap helper. The helper then fails before dockerRunDetached, after the recreation flow has stopped and renamed the original container. Validate the user before selecting the helper or before mutating the original container.
