fix(installer): handle unavailable systemd user manager - #8949
Conversation
Classify known systemd user-manager failures before package service adoption. Keep the standalone gateway only when no user-unit activation link can later claim port 8080. Fail closed for unknown identity, path, command, and version results. Reported-by: Hadi Askari Signed-off-by: Apurv Kumaria <akumaria@nvidia.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe gateway lifecycle and Linux installer validate effective systemd service identity, executable paths, versions, diagnostics, and activation links. Standalone fallback is allowed only for recognized unavailable user managers without competing gateway activation. ChangesGateway lifecycle validation

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/install.sh`:
- Around line 1565-1568: Update the SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH handling in the relevant
remediation function to report the configured override value or a clearly
labeled override message instead of the literal SYSTEMD_UNIT_PATH token, while
preserving the existing nonzero return status and keeping the analogous handling
at the other occurrence consistent.
In `@test/install-openshell-gateway-service.test.ts`:
- Around line 513-540: Update the test case “fails closed when an activation
root cannot be inspected (`#8926`)” to skip when process.getuid() indicates the
test is running as root, and wrap the permission-restricted test execution in a
finally block that restores activationRoot to mode 0o700. Preserve the existing
assertions and installer behavior checks for non-root runners.

Readiness update:
Large-change flag: the current PR is +1,396/-213 across installer, lifecycle, tests, and documentation. I am keeping the full review and gate set in place. The remaining prior failures are external to this focused update: the target branch contains an unchanged 1,529-line managed-image test and unchanged static-analysis regressions, while both advisor lanes failed during inference configuration. Fresh checks are running now. No waiver, bypass, auto-merge, or merge action was used. |

Summary
When
systemctl --userreports a known unavailable-manager error, installation now keeps an existing standalone gateway. Installation stops if activation or uncertain evidence could create a second gateway on port 8080.Related Issue
Fixes #8926
Supersedes #8945 by Dongni Yang. This implementation was developed independently and does not reuse or modify that contributor's commits.
