This helper duplicates the classification branch instead of invoking the Docker-driver failure path. A regression in production wiring can leave this test green.
Invoke the production boundary, or extract the composition into a production function and call that function from this test.

In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/gateway-state.ts`:
- Line 498: The gateway-start message around gatewayStartGuidance must use
provider-neutral or launcher-aware wording instead of always referring to the
selected NemoClaw gateway. Update the preceding sentence so it remains
consistent when gatewayStartGuidance resolves an external-owner launcher, while
preserving the existing rebuild guidance.
In `@src/lib/gateway-start-guidance.ts`:
- Around line 40-42: Update the gateway selection command construction near
select so it never emits openshell gateway select without a gateway argument;
when gatewayName is unavailable, omit the command or otherwise defer it until a
resolved gateway name can be supplied, while preserving the existing
named-gateway command.

At head 678ff2ebe730293d2bd0cde6416c0240b8ca538d, the central recovery helper can still emit a command that cannot run: callers such as credentials and inventory invoke gatewayStartGuidance() without a name, and the external-owner branch prints bare openshell gateway select, which requires a gateway argument. Please emit a clearly marked required argument (for example <gateway>) or omit the selection command until a name is available, and cover the unnamed branch.
The external-owner wording in printGatewayLifecycleHint is also contradictory: it first says “The selected NemoClaw gateway” and then says NemoClaw does not start that gateway. Make the preceding text provider-neutral or launcher-aware.
Finally, this PR causes two existing integration contracts to fail: test/onboard.test.ts:311 no longer receives gateway diagnostics, and test/onboard-gateway-docker-unreachable.test.ts:101 no longer receives Docker recovery guidance. If those behaviors are intentionally removed for externally owned launchers, update the tests and document the replacement diagnostic contract; otherwise retain the diagnostics before returning the new guidance. The inventory timeout appears independent, but shards 3 and 9 are direct consequences of this change.
These confirm the unresolved CodeRabbit findings against the current head.
Security review:
- Input validation — FAIL: the unnamed helper branch constructs an incomplete CLI command.
- Authentication and authorization — PASS: no identity or privilege change.
- Secrets and sensitive data — PASS: no secret values are added to output.
- Injection — WARNING: known gateway names are interpolated into shell guidance without quoting; existing validated names limit exposure, but the helper type itself accepts arbitrary strings.
- Cryptography — PASS: no cryptographic changes.
- Dependencies and supply chain — PASS: no dependency changes.
- Error handling and information exposure — FAIL: two failure paths lose their established diagnostics and CI coverage currently fails.
- System security and sandbox boundaries — PASS: the change avoids destroying or claiming lifecycle authority over externally owned gateways.
- Testing — FAIL: unnamed guidance is untested, copied production composition remains in an integration test, and two directly affected integration tests fail.

Reviewed commit 2773e36b2. Recovery guidance follows the resolved lifecycle authority, and the Apple Silicon Docker-driver path remains covered by the compute-plan tests. Required CI and the documentation receipt pass; no blocking finding remains.

<!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 --> ## 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. ## Type of Change - [x] Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor) - [ ] Code change with doc updates - [ ] Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications) - [ ] Doc only (includes code sample changes) ## Quality Gates - [x] Tests added or updated for changed behavior - [ ] Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification: - [ ] Tests not applicable — justification: - [ ] Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes - [x] Docs not applicable — justification: Internal ownership and contributor checks change.

Summary
When a sandbox-scoped command found the host gateway down, NemoClaw suggested
openshell gateway start, but supported OpenShell releases do not provide that command. NemoClaw now identifies the actual lifecycle authority: it directs operators tonemoclaw onboardfor NemoClaw-owned gateways, or to the owning deployment followed byopenshell gateway select <gateway>for externally managed gateways.Related Issue

The reviewer confirmed that the pages distinguish NemoClaw-owned recovery from externally supervised lifecycle authority, that obsolete start-command references are removed, and that the final code comments match the resolved authority. The follow-up test seam only bypasses the production dependency graph in the gateway-down unit test; production still resolves the lifecycle-aware guidance. The full inventory test file passed 48/48 under V8 coverage, gateway-guidance tests passed 7/7, CLI typecheck and normal hooks passed, the docs build reported 0 errors and the same 2 existing Fern warnings, and the worktree was clean.DGX Station Hardware Evidence
