fix(readiness): name the process holding the gateway port - #9149
Merged
Conversation
The public readiness collector probes the port with lsof skipped, so the conflict diagnostic read an owner of "unknown" from the bind probe while the collector's own unprivileged listener scan already held the owning PID. The message now names each listener and gives the command that stops it, once the operator has confirmed it is not a second NemoClaw gateway. Signed-off-by: Tinson Lai <tinsonl@nvidia.com>

The production logic at 52577bdda51c4db13358f1b51929e81f0ff9333e correctly keeps the probe read-only, reports only the conflicting/unverified listener PIDs, and falls back to an inspection command when ownership cannot be resolved. One user-facing contract remains incorrect: docs/reference/system-readiness.mdx says port-conflict evidence always names every listener and supplies a stop command, while gatewayPortConflictDetail intentionally emits only sudo lsof ... for unknown/inconclusive ownership. Please document both the resolved and unresolved cases. This confirms the existing inline finding.
The required growth check also fails because the new test adds conditional setup directly in the test body. Move that non-asserting branch into a named helper or otherwise satisfy the repository’s linear-test rule; this review is not a waiver.
Security review:
- Input validation — PASS: listener PIDs are numeric scan results and gateway ports are existing validated numbers.
- Authentication and authorization — PASS: readiness remains read-only and does not elevate.
- Secrets and sensitive data — PASS: child environments remain sanitized and only process names/PIDs are surfaced.
- Injection — PASS: PIDs and ports are numeric before being rendered in suggested commands.
- Cryptography — PASS: no cryptographic changes.
- Dependencies and supply chain — PASS: no dependency changes.
- Error handling and information exposure — PASS: unresolved ownership falls back to inspection rather than guessing.
- System security and sandbox boundaries — PASS: the probe does not kill processes; guidance tells operators to confirm ownership before a PID-specific stop.
- Testing — WARNING: behavior coverage is good, but the required test-conditional guard currently fails.

Reviewed the gateway port-owner diagnostic and its variant-aware uninstall guidance. CI, DCO, documentation receipt, security review, and review threads pass for commit 7593744. The branch remains mergeable after main moved, so no branch merge is needed.

Summary
The public gateway readiness collector probes the gateway port with
lsofskipped, so its conflict message read an owner ofunknownfrom the bind probe and offered no way to act on it, even though the collector's own unprivileged listener scan had already resolved the owning PID. An operator whose port was held by an ordinary process was told the owner wasunknownand left to rediscover it by hand. The diagnostic now names each listener by process name and PID, separates verified gateway listeners from unverified listeners, and limits process-stop guidance to the exact unverified PID or PIDs. Verified gateway listeners receive a port-scopednemoclaw uninstallcommand, while unresolved listeners receive anlsofinspection command.Related Issue
Fixes #9118
Changes
src/lib/readiness/gateway-production.ts: the listener scan retains verified gateway PIDs and unverified PIDs as disjoint sets.gatewayPortConflictDetailnames every resolved listener, but process-stop authority comes only from the unverified set. The bind probe'sunknownsentinel is treated as the absence of a name. Owners are resolved only when a conflict exists, so a healthy port starts no extra child process.src/lib/readiness/gateway-production.ts:describeGatewayPortOwnersreads process names throughps -p <pid> -o comm=on the existing read-only capture, alongside theps -o args=call already used for identity evidence. A name that cannot be read degrades to the PID alone.src/lib/readiness/gateway-production.ts: mixed conflicts list every listener, name the exact unverified PID or PIDs the operator must confirm, and generatesudo killonly for those PIDs. A verified-only conflict recommendsNEMOCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT=<port> nemoclaw uninstall; an unresolved conflict recommendssudo lsof -i :<port> -sTCP:LISTEN -P -n.test/onboard-gateway-port-conflict-fast-fail.test.ts: the two existing assertions accepted either message wording, so the process name, PID, and remediation command could all disappear without failing. The case now requires an owner PID, a stop command, and the absence ofoccupied by unknown.src/lib/readiness/gateway-production.test.ts: coverage includes a real occupied port, unresolved ownership, mixed verified and unverified listeners, and verified-only ownership. It proves verified gateway PIDs never entersudo kill, exact unverified PIDs are named before stopping, and verified-only conflicts use port-scoped environment release guidance.docs/reference/troubleshooting.mdx: the section that already documents manuallsofandkillrecovery now states what preflight reports, what it reports when a name or a listener cannot be resolved, and that a second NemoClaw gateway environment is released withuninstallrather than stopped.docs/reference/system-readiness.mdx: the readiness evidence description records that port-conflict evidence carries the listener name, PID, and stop command, becausehost probesurfaces the same evidence entry.No abstraction, configuration, fallback, or compatibility path is added. The
unknownsentinel insrc/lib/onboard/preflight.tsand the matching branch incouldBeNemoClawGatewayPortListenerare deliberately unchanged: neither is reachable in this failure, since readiness admission exits first, and narrowing them would change fail-fast behavior for genuinely unidentified listeners without a defect that calls for it.Type of Change
