Summary

Jetson CPU-only E2E onboarding now uses a fixture-owned compatible inference endpoint instead of depending on the persistent host Ollama installation. The target retains the real install, OpenShell onboarding, installed-binary ownership, Sandbox GPU: disabled, and /dev/nvmap exclusion checks.

Affected evidence: automatic main E2E run 31866856579, attempt 3, job 94975434433 failed because non-interactive installation tried to upgrade the persistent system Ollama and required sudo.

Related Issue

Related to #9157.

Changes

  • Replace the host Ollama baseline with an authenticated fake OpenAI-compatible endpoint reachable from the OpenShell sandbox.
  • Configure the Jetson install for the custom provider and fixture model.
  • Verify the installed OpenShell route uses compatible-endpoint and the fixture model, and require an authenticated /v1/models request at the fixture.
  • Report the declared Jetson hardware-detection phase before its host command.
  • Capture request evidence, close the fixture in finally, and write the cleanup artifact only after closure.

Type of Change

  • 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

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
  • Docs not applicable — justification: this changes only the internal live E2E fixture; independent review found no documented host Ollama prerequisite.
  • Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
  • Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: cv approved
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: no-docs-needed
  • Evidence: the internal Jetson fixture retains its documented CPU-only onboarding and /dev/nvmap exclusion contract; public docs do not describe the removed host Ollama prerequisite. No documentation files changed.

  • Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — full npm run validate:pr passed at commit under review 3eeb8610

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Jetson nvmap live E2E test now uses an authenticated fake OpenAI-compatible server, custom provider settings, structured artifacts, explicit cleanup, host runtime checks, and sandbox assertions that GPU and /dev/nvmap access remain disabled.

Changes

Jetson nvmap E2E coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime prerequisites and fake inference setup
test/e2e/live/jetson-nvmap-gpu.test.ts
The test adds fake-server constants and metadata, removes the Ollama provider default, checks Jetson and NVIDIA runtime prerequisites, and configures an authenticated custom inference environment.
Installation lifecycle and cleanup
test/e2e/live/jetson-nvmap-gpu.test.ts
The test registers gateway and sandbox cleanup, installs NemoClaw with the custom provider, and validates the configured OpenShell inference route and authenticated model request.
GPU isolation assertions
test/e2e/live/jetson-nvmap-gpu.test.ts
The test verifies disabled sandbox GPU access, absent CUDA and NVIDIA paths, and absent or non-symlinked /dev/nvmap.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3eeb8

The PR changes Jetson onboarding to use a fixture-owned inference endpoint instead of the host Ollama installation while retaining the existing install and sandbox checks. The required sensitive-path review or maintainer-approved waiver is still pending, so merge should wait for that approval.

Report the declared hardware-detection phase.

The phase plan declares detect Jetson hardware, but this path moves directly to clear previous Jetson runtime state. Call progress.phase("detect Jetson hardware") before hostShell(...) so progress evidence remains ordered.

As per path instructions, live E2E tests must declare ordered semantic phases and call the canonical progress capability.

4 additional E2E selections from the second opinion

Advisory only. The primary lane did not select these E2E jobs or targets.

  • inference-routing: The completed second-opinion lane identified E2E coverage that the primary lane omitted.

Second-opinion terminology and E2E selections are advisory. Live E2E does not run automatically for pull requests.

3 semantic terminology decisions

Terminology decisions are advisory. They affect the assessment only when a separate finding identifies concrete semantic impact.

  • established — compatible endpoint at test/e2e/live/jetson-nvmap-gpu.test.ts:269: Retain the literal provider output in the assertion.
  • established — inference route at test/e2e/live/jetson-nvmap-gpu.test.ts:262: Retain the artifact name that identifies the inference route.
  • established — CPU-only at test/e2e/live/jetson-nvmap-gpu.test.ts:98: Retain CPU-only for the NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_GPU=0 condition.

E2E guidance

Advisory only. A maintainer can dispatch the default E2E suite for the commit under review.

Recommended E2E: None

Manual-only E2E: cloud-onboard, security-posture, cloud-inference
The manual PR workflow does not run these selectors for the commit under review. Run them from reviewed code on main.

Additional automatic-main Jetson evidence: run 31870765943, job 94979112067 at 496a9ae1 dispatched jetson-nvmap-gpu and received a downstream failure. The wrapper log does not expose the downstream diagnostic, so this is provisionally grouped with this PR because the candidate predates latest PR commit 3eeb8610 and exercises the same target. Newer current-main run 31871172265 remains active and will provide the next comparison. No manual E2E was dispatched.

Current-main automatic evidence is now complete: run 31871172265 at 815bdd56 selected only jetson-nvmap-gpu and failed all three workflow-owned attempts in jobs 94980349887, 94982363243, and 94982731272. The three Relevant E2E failures are secondary. This candidate predates latest PR commit 3eeb8610; the dispatch wrappers still expose only the downstream failure conclusion, so the downstream diagnostic limitation remains. No manual E2E was dispatched.

## Summary

The maintainer triage runtime test now isolates its standalone Node
process from Vitest's inherited `NODE_OPTIONS`. This prevents the test
runner's source-require hook from rewriting the script's `./shared.ts`
import to missing `./shared.js` in CLI shard 12.

Affected evidence:

- PR #9199 [run 31871412202, job
94980566330](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/31871412202/job/94980566330)
- PR #9204 [run 31871885957, job
94981738690](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/31871885957/job/94981738690)

Both jobs failed the same three assertions in
`test/skills/triage-runtime.test.ts`.

## Related Issue

No issue. This is a shared required-check blocker for #9199 and #9204.

## Changes

- Clear inherited `NODE_OPTIONS` only for the spawned standalone triage
process, which already receives its required Node arguments explicitly.
- Include child stderr as assertion context when the spawned process
exits unsuccessfully.

- [ ] Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver

## Documentation Writer Review

- [x] Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
- Result: `no-docs-needed`

failure context; it changes no supported command, behavior,
configuration, API, policy, or documentation contract.
