Summary

Before B4-E1, host-local inference authority did not survive every registry and sandbox lifecycle transition. This change persists and re-proves the exact authority through registration, reconciliation, recovery, snapshot, restore, rebuild, clone, backup, and destroy without activating a new provider or public support surface.

Related Issue

Closes #9141

Part of #7744

Changes

  • Persist and validate the canonical, secret-free host-local inference receipt at registry read, write, route reservation, and sandbox registration boundaries.
  • Bind lifecycle authority to the sandbox, agent, runtime provider, inference provider, model, endpoint, gateway, lifecycle generation, runtime engine, image, network, and NVIDIA CDI evidence.
  • Add the provider-neutral lifecycle authority required by B4-E1 so lifecycle operations validate the same receipt instead of separate command-local identities.
  • Re-prove authority before and after lifecycle mutations, and reject missing, changed, reused, ambiguous, or conflicting ownership.
  • Retire an exact managed runtime only after confirmed sandbox deletion, retain shared runtimes, and preserve the registry row when cleanup must be retried.
  • Add focused coverage for OpenClaw, Hermes, LangChain Deep Agents Code, Ollama, NVIDIA NIM, vLLM, shared-runtime retention, cleanup retries, and current provider boundaries.
  • Keep Podman absent from the production runtime-provider registry. Keep --temp-managed-runtime hidden, default-off, and undocumented.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Host-local inference receipts and provenance now persist in sandbox registry state. Routing, lifecycle operations, destruction, backup, clone, rebuild, and restore paths validate and re-prove this authority. Cleanup preserves durable ownership until deletion is confirmed.

Changes

Host-local inference authority

Layer / File(s) Summary
Receipt storage and routing
src/lib/state/registry/*, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-registration.ts, src/lib/onboard/setup-inference.ts, test/*
Registry entries validate and persist receipts and provenance. Route setup records local authority and clears stale authority for remote routes.
Lifecycle authority preparation and retirement
src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/host-local-inference-lifecycle.ts, src/lib/inference/llama-cpp/*, src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/*test.ts
Lifecycle authority validates bindings, reconstructs llama.cpp state, re-proves runtime ownership, detects shared peers, and retires exclusive runtimes.
Sandbox destruction cleanup
src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy-execution.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy-host-local-inference.test.ts
Destruction retains durable host-local ownership until confirmed deletion. Post-delete retirement failures report confirmed deletion and redacted cleanup details.
Backup and restore authority
src/lib/state/sandbox.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot/backup-authority.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot/restore-authority.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot/*test.ts
Backup and restore carry host-local authority and validate it before publication, before filesystem mutation, and after restoration.
Snapshot orchestration and failure handling
src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot-auto-create-failure.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot-command-host-local-authority.test.ts
Clone reservations are released on failure. Destination cleanup retires host-local authority. Cross-sandbox restore removes clones that fail authority re-proof.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 5acb2

This PR preserves host-local inference authority across lifecycle transitions, but current code still permits engine identity mismatches in two lifecycle paths, while malformed durable receipts can bypass exact cleanup retirement. These gaps can select the wrong lifecycle operation or leave managed runtime cleanup unsafe, so the PR is not merge-ready until validation and cleanup are corrected.

Move receipt parsing to a lower-layer module.

src/lib/state/registry/host-local-inference.ts depends on src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/host-local-inference.ts. The parser and serializer make pure validation decisions. Put them in a domain module, then import that module from state and onboarding. Keep a compatibility re-export if onboarding callers require the current path.

As per path instructions, “domain modules make pure decisions” and “state modules own persisted files and state I/O.”

Align the exported function name with the widened scope.

You renamed the dependency interface to ProviderRestoreAuthorityDependencies and made the failure text and doc comment provider-neutral. The exported name restoreRecreatedSandboxStateWithManagedAuthority still says "Managed", but the function now also carries host-local inference authority. backupSandboxStateWithManagedAuthority in src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot/backup-authority.ts has the same mismatch.

Rename both to ...WithProviderAuthority in a follow-up, and update the call sites in src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot.ts and the tests. Both modules are internal, so no external contract breaks.

Prove drift rejection through the real lifecycle helper.

Lines 269-282 reimplement the drift comparison inside the mock. The production comparison lives in requireCurrentSandboxAuthority in src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/host-local-inference-lifecycle.ts. The assertion at Line 300 matches the string thrown by the test's own mock, so the seven table rows exercise the same single behavior: captureHostLocalInferenceAuthority passes the current entry to the confirm callback.

Use the real confirmHostLocalInferenceAuthority with an in-memory provider bundle, as src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot/restore-host-local-authority.test.ts does at Line 154-199. Then each drift row proves genuine rejection. If you keep the mock, reduce the table to one row and rename the test to state the forwarding contract.

As per path instructions for **/*.test.{ts,js,mts,mjs,cts,cjs}: "Flag copied production algorithms, broad mocks that bypass the behavior under test, and conditionals that make a test pass without exercising its claim."

Remove the unreachable null check on preparedRuntimeRestore.

Line 1554 and Line 1555 re-check preparedRuntimeRestore inside the if (preparedRuntimeRestore) block at Line 1545. The local alias is needed for narrowing across the reassignment, but the throw cannot execute. Keep the alias and drop the check.

♻️ Proposed simplification
-              const prepared = preparedRuntimeRestore;
-              if (!prepared) throw new Error("managed runtime restore authority is missing");
+              const prepared = preparedRuntimeRestore;

Based on learnings, this repo avoids defensive checks that cannot handle an actionable error ("avoid adding 'defensive' error handling ... when there is no realistic throwing path").

- Around line 345-353: In the destroy flow around
prepareSandboxHostLocalInferenceDestroyAuthority, reject any present string
hostLocalInferenceReceipt when preparation returns null by throwing before
deletion or cleanup can continue. Preserve valid receipt handling and existing
ownership validation, and add coverage using an invalid serialized receipt that
verifies runOpenshell is not called.

In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot-command-host-local-authority.test.ts`:
- Around line 199-206: Remove the redundant vi.clearAllMocks() call from
beforeEach and the vi.restoreAllMocks() afterEach hook in this test file,
retaining only the harness.events.length reset. Remove the now-unused afterEach
import while preserving the harness.preserveForRebuild mock implementation.

In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot/backup-authority.ts`:
- Around line 117-141: Update captureHostLocalInferenceAuthority to throw the
established “snapshot inference receipt has no B4-E1 lifecycle authority” error
when prepareHostLocalInference returns null, instead of returning null; preserve
the existing absent-receipt handling. Ensure the backup flow propagates this
rejection through failure(...), and add a backup test covering rejection of a
llama.cpp receipt without managed lifecycle authority.

In `@src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/host-local-inference-lifecycle.test.ts`:
- Around line 113-119: Update
src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/host-local-inference-lifecycle.test.ts#L113-L119
and
src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider/podman-host-local-inference-destroy.test.ts#L21-L22
to define and use a shared raise(message): never helper, removing all four
conditionals in the lifecycle test and the managed-runtime guard in the Podman
test. In requiredPrepared, use nullish fallback; in destroy, use
optional-destroy fallback plus a runtime.kind ternary; and in createOperation,
use spread-based push while preserving existing behavior.

Apply the same fix in

Reviewed exact head a0fedd9.

Blocking findings:

  1. captureHostLocalInferenceAuthority() in src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot/backup-authority.ts sees a durable string receipt, calls prepareHostLocalInference, and silently returns null when the receipt is outside the new Ollama/NIM/vLLM helper. A valid dedicated llama.cpp receipt is the concrete current case. The backup then omits hostLocalInferenceReceipt and its publish fence; restore treats that manifest as the legacy state-only path. This contradicts #9141 requirements to preserve authority through backup/restore and fail closed on missing evidence. Preserve the receipt through its owning lifecycle or reject the backup explicitly; add the matching negative/authority test. This confirms the open CodeRabbit finding.

  2. codebase-growth-guardrails fails on the exact head because the new test helpers add prohibited conditional branches. The repository gate must pass; rewrite the helpers within the source-shape contract rather than budgeting around it.

  3. test/registry-host-local-inference.test.ts uses createRequire() to load ../src/lib/state/registry. Root integration tests must use ESM source imports; compiled/CommonJS-style artifact loading belongs only in the package-contract lane. Convert the test and preserve its environment-before-import requirement with the established ESM test pattern. This confirms the open CodeRabbit finding.

The destroy path does already reject malformed serialized receipts because parsing throws before deletion, and its null preparation case is the valid dedicated llama.cpp lifecycle handled later by cleanupManagedLlamaCppRuntimeForSandbox; I am not adopting the automated request to reject every null destroy preparation. The registry persistence boundary, exact sandbox binding, shared-runtime comparison, post-delete retry journal, restore content hash, and provider reproving are otherwise strong.

Security review:

  • Input validation: PASS — registry and snapshot receipt schemas reject malformed transports and noncanonical identities.
  • Authentication and authorization: FAIL — backup can downgrade a present durable inference authority to an authority-free snapshot.
  • Secrets and sensitive data: PASS — receipts are canonical and secret-free; errors are redacted.
  • Injection risks: PASS — no new untrusted command construction or executable selection is introduced.
  • Data exposure and privacy: PASS — backup publication remains private and atomic.
  • Cryptography: PASS — SHA-256 bindings cover the complete outer sandbox authority and snapshot content.
  • Dependencies and supply chain: PASS — no dependency or artifact-source changes.
  • System security: FAIL — the backup authority omission permits a lifecycle transition without the persisted inference fence required by #9141.
  • Testing and verification: FAIL — the repository growth guard fails, the test lane violates the ESM source-import contract, and the missing-lifecycle backup case lacks coverage.

Files reviewed: all 34 changed registry, registration, route-reservation, lifecycle, destroy, snapshot/backup/restore, sandbox-state, helper, and test files; linked issue #9141; current automated review findings and CI.

Consider extracting the shared provenance validation.

This block repeats the provenance check in isRebuildManifest (lines 348-361). Both sites must stay in agreement. If one site changes, a written manifest can later fail load-time validation. Extract one predicate, for example hasValidHostLocalInferenceProvenance(provenance, receipt), and call it from both sites.

Consider a structurally equal provenance clone in the positive test.

The manifest and the target share the same provenance object reference. The equality fence in restore-authority.ts uses isDeepStrictEqual, so reference sharing does not exercise deep comparison. Build the manifest provenance with a separate createSandboxHostLocalInferenceProvenance("alpha", serialized) call. The test then proves that structurally equal provenance passes.

Consider extracting the shared route-authority comparison.

reserveSandboxInferenceRoute (lines 315-333) and registerSandbox (lines 158-177) compare the same authority fields: receipt, provenance, provider, model, endpointUrl, endpointSource, credentialEnv, preferredInferenceApi, openshellDriver, gatewayName, gatewayPort. The two lists must stay in sync, and HOST_LOCAL_INFERENCE_LIFECYCLE_AUTHORITY_FIELDS at line 387 repeats the same set a third time. A single helper that compares a row against a candidate route reduces the risk that one site gains a field and the others do not.

Use the resolved homeDir for consistency.

The cleanup-retry branch passes the resolved homeDir (Line 100). This branch passes the raw options.homeDir, which may be absent.

Pass a validated gateway port instead of a non-null assertion.

sandbox.gatewayPort! is safe today because every caller of requireRuntime runs captureSandboxAuthority first, and that function fails when provenance exists without a valid port. The assertion hides that ordering requirement. If a future caller reaches requireRuntime directly, createManagedLlamaCppLifecycleAdapter receives undefined and throws a less specific error. Consider threading the captured HostLocalInferenceSandboxAuthority.gatewayPort into requireRuntime so the type system carries the proof.

The llama.cpp model check compares a value with itself.

For service === "llama-cpp", receiptModel is assigned sandbox.model, so sandbox.model !== receiptModel is always false. The comparison proves nothing for llama.cpp routes; only the typeof guard remains effective. The real sandbox-to-runtime model binding happens in requireRuntime through adapter.model. Consider making that explicit so a reader does not treat this line as the llama.cpp model proof.

Assert the expected transaction identity directly.

route.value is always the llama.cpp container fixture, so the runtime.kind === "container" ternary can never take the undefined branch.

221-239: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

The llama.cpp prepared-startup fixture uses an unreachable prior state.

prepared() derives rollbackPriorState from value.publication?.priorState ?? "absent", and the schema-v1 llama.cpp receipt has no publication, so the fixture reports "absent". createManagedLlamaCppLifecycleAdapter only produces "running" or "stopped". The test therefore passes through a state the production adapter never returns. Pass an explicit rollbackPriorState: "stopped" for this case so the route validation runs against a reachable value.

- Around line 546-548: Replace the inline import type in
hostLocalInferenceProvenance with a top-level type import for
SandboxHostLocalInferenceProvenance from the registry types module, then use
that named type in the declaration while preserving the existing optional
behavior.

In `@src/lib/state/registry.ts`:
- Around line 294-333: The shared host-local inference authority comparison is
duplicated across reserveSandboxInferenceRoute, registerSandbox, and
HOST_LOCAL_INFERENCE_LIFECYCLE_AUTHORITY_FIELDS. Extract a single comparison
helper or shared field definition covering receipt, provenance, provider, model,
endpointUrl, endpointSource, credentialEnv, preferredInferenceApi,
openshellDriver, gatewayName, and gatewayPort, then reuse it in both validation
paths while preserving their existing error behavior.

In `@src/lib/state/sandbox.ts`:
- Around line 1163-1175: Extract the duplicated host-local inference provenance
validation into a shared predicate such as hasValidHostLocalInferenceProvenance,
then use it in both the current snapshot validation block and isRebuildManifest.
Preserve the existing invalid-provenance error behavior and registry validation
semantics so both paths remain consistent.

In `@test/onboard-host-local-inference-routing.test.ts`:
- Around line 632-640: Update the hostLocalInferenceProvenance expectation to
assert route.value.runtime.model?.generation directly for transactionId,
removing the runtime.kind conditional so a non-container fixture causes the
assertion to fail instead of accepting undefined.

Follow-up #9174 completes the remaining review work from this PR.

For the changes-requested review by @prekshivyas: the explicit-provenance backup path now fails closed when lifecycle authority cannot be reconstructed and has focused coverage; the source-growth guardrail and root registry ESM-import blockers were corrected before #9123 merged. The follow-up adds the missing malformed-receipt deletion regression and validates injected llama.cpp engine identity at both rehydration and onboarding startup boundaries.

## Summary

This follow-up completes the outstanding actionable review feedback from
#9123. Injected llama.cpp lifecycle operations are now revalidated
against the sandbox-bound runtime provider before rehydration or
startup, while unchanged legacy receipt dispatch remains intact.

## Related Issue

Follow-up to #9123 and #7744.

## Changes

- Reuse the runtime-provider operation validator for injected operations
at both llama.cpp rehydration and onboarding startup boundaries.
- Reject same-provider operations whose engine operation, ID, or display
name differs from the provider bundle, with focused rehydration and
onboarding regression coverage.
- Prove malformed durable receipts already fail before sandbox deletion,
without changing legacy llama.cpp dispatch.
- Bind lifecycle-adapter fixtures to one explicit gateway port and
remove redundant Vitest mock teardown hooks.

## Summary

Move onboarding gateway lifecycle decisions from `src/lib/onboard.ts`
into focused gateway application modules. Add a ratcheted entry-boundary
check so gateway decisions cannot return and later phase work must
decrease its recorded allowances.

## Related Issue

Fixes #9171

Advances #9172. Provider, messaging, and policy allowances remain
assigned to #9169, #9170, and #9172.

## Changes

- Move process cleanup, registration, Docker-driver start,
provider-aware start, and recovery into `src/lib/onboard/gateway/`.
- Keep `src/lib/onboard.ts` responsible for sequencing and dependency
wiring. Its line count decreases from 4,274 to 3,902, and fan-out
decreases from 210 to 202.
- Add a repository check that records decision occurrences by category
and declaration. The check rejects increases and requires budget
decreases.
- Record zero gateway allowances. Record current messaging, policy, and
provider allowances for their assigned follow-up issues.
- Add late-binding tests for gateway name and port changes. Add process
identity and entry-boundary regression tests.

The focused modules are required by #9171. A direct move into one facade
kept the original coupling, so the lifecycle is split by current
responsibility. The focused tests and the architecture check protect
these contracts.

- [x] Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver
recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: An independent Codex

## Documentation Writer Review

- [x] Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
- Result: `no-docs-needed`
- Evidence: Gateway lifecycle ownership moved under
`src/lib/onboard/gateway/`, and the architecture check affects
contributors only. The #9123 host-local lifecycle files and #9151
guidance remain unchanged. Extracted paths preserve gateway recovery
guidance, lifecycle authority, and user-visible behavior.
