Summary

The experimental voice gateway now reads its deployment and OpenClaw startup credentials from fixed inherited descriptors instead of accepting credential file paths on the command line. A bounded trusted launcher opens both files without following symlinks, maps only the selected objects to descriptors 3 and 4, and the child validates, reads once, and closes both descriptors before accepting traffic.

Related Issue

Fixes #9235

Changes

  • Reserve descriptor 3 for the deployment credential and descriptor 4 for the OpenClaw credential.
  • Reject missing, duplicate, non-regular, wrong-owner, group-accessible, malformed, and oversized descriptor inputs without exposing credential material.
  • Add a trusted launcher that opens credentials with no-follow semantics, passes only fixed descriptors across one process spawn, and closes the parent copies immediately.
  • Expose the launcher through the shipped external-integration action and attempt bounded child termination after parent descriptor cleanup failure, retaining the child handle for caller recovery when exit is unconfirmed.
  • Remove credential path flags from the internal CLI and document the launcher contract, descriptor lifetime, and restart-based rotation behavior.
  • Cover fixed role mapping, descriptor closure before traffic, failure cases, CLI help, swapped-role admission failure, and real-process credential rotation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Voice Gateway credentials can now be provided through fixed inherited descriptors 3 and 4.
    • A trusted launcher opens credential files without following symbolic links, validates owner, mode, type, and size, and maps only the fixed descriptors to the gateway.
    • Help and documentation now describe descriptor-based setup and credential rotation.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Credentials are read once and closed before serving traffic.
    • Invalid, reused, or symbolic-link credential files are rejected; swapped descriptor roles fail authentication without exposing either credential.
    • Credential paths and values are excluded from startup configuration.
    • Credential-file path options have been removed from the command interface.
    • Failed parent cleanup attempts bounded SIGTERM/SIGKILL termination; if exit is not observed, the caller receives the retained child handle for termination and reaping before another launch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The voice gateway now receives deployment and OpenClaw credentials through fixed inherited descriptors 3 and 4. It validates and closes both descriptors before serving, removes credential-file options, and adds launcher, integration, cleanup, and rotation coverage.

Changes

Voice gateway credential ingress

Layer / File(s) Summary
Trusted launcher contract
src/lib/voice-gateway/launcher.ts, src/lib/voice-gateway/launcher.test.ts, src/lib/actions/voice-gateway/launch.ts
The launcher validates private credential files, rejects symbolic links and duplicate files, maps credentials to descriptors 3 and 4, excludes paths and values from the child process contract, and handles bounded child termination.
Descriptor contract and validation
src/lib/voice-gateway/contracts.ts, src/lib/voice-gateway/credential-file.ts, src/lib/voice-gateway/credential-file.test.ts
The loader validates descriptor properties, reads both credentials once, enforces distinct files and bearer format, closes descriptors, and preserves operation errors over cleanup errors.
Service and CLI wiring
src/lib/actions/voice-gateway/serve.ts, src/lib/actions/voice-gateway/serve.test.ts, src/commands/internal/voice-gateway/serve.ts
The service loads credentials through readPrivateBearerDescriptors. The command removes credential-file options and documents descriptor-based startup.
CLI, integration, and process validation
test/internal-cli.test.ts, test/package-contract/cli/*, test/voice-gateway-integration.test.ts, test/fixtures/voice-gateway/*, docs/reference/commands.mdx
Tests and documentation describe descriptors 3 and 4. Integration coverage verifies swapped credentials fail authentication, descriptors close before serving, cleanup errors are handled, and credential rotation requires restart.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ff708

The credential-descriptor launch behavior and related documentation are covered by the stated validation, with no actionable merge-blocking risk remaining beyond normal checks and review.

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

4 semantic terminology decisions

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

  • established — credential-free at src/lib/voice-gateway/launcher.ts:27: Keep `credential-free` for the child process contract.
  • established — trusted launcher at src/lib/voice-gateway/credential-file.ts:35: Keep `trusted launcher` for the credential-source boundary.
  • justified — descriptor contract at test/package-contract/cli/oclif-metadata.test.ts:32: Keep `descriptor contract` because the fixed descriptor interface has a concrete contrasting prior interface.
  • define — bounded termination at docs/reference/commands.mdx:4547: Keep the term with the adjacent explanation of attempts, exit observation, and retained child handling.

Addressed both review findings in 5da76d4: cleanup now preserves the primary error while attempting every close, and the compiled help assertions now live in the package-contract lane. Focused tests and the repository PR validation pass.

Reviewed the complete current diff and latest PR commit 5da76d43a against accepted issue #9235. The latest four-file delta correctly preserves the primary credential error, attempts both descriptor closes, reports cleanup failure only after otherwise successful reads, and moves the compiled help contract into test/package-contract/.

Two security gates remain:

  1. The required trusted-launcher half of the contract is absent. Issue #9235 requires the Gabby/VoiceClaw launcher to open both sources without following symbolic links, map only the selected objects to descriptors 3 and 4 across the one exec, and keep credential paths and values out of arguments and environment. The complete diff removes the path-based command contract and documents a trusted launcher, but adds no launcher or process fixture that performs this mapping. Add the owning launcher implementation and prove its role, no-follow, argument, environment, inheritance, and close-on-exec boundaries; otherwise the documented command has no complete supported invocation path.
  2. Current tests stop below that process boundary. They do not launch the real internal command with descriptors 3 and 4, prove credential paths and values absent from its arguments/environment, inspect descriptor closure before serving or in a later child, or cover restart rotation so the old deployment bearer is rejected. They also cover a directory but not representative pipe/socket/device inputs required by #9235. Add the real-process and lifecycle evidence.

Security review result: FAIL.

  • Secrets and credentials: WARNING — the command removes credential paths and values from its own inputs, but the missing launcher leaves the full ingress boundary unproven.
  • Input validation and sanitization: PASS — the reader enforces fixed descriptors, distinct regular files, owner-only mode, current ownership, bounded size, and bearer format.
  • Authentication and authorization: WARNING — swapped roles fail closed, but the trusted authority that assigns those roles is not implemented.
  • Dependencies and third-party libraries: PASS — no dependency or download change.
  • Error handling and logging: PASS — the latest delta preserves primary errors, attempts both closes, and reports cleanup failure without credential contents.
  • Cryptography and data protection: WARNING — no cryptographic change; descriptor lifetime is not proven across the real exec and later process boundary.
  • Configuration and security defaults: PASS — descriptor numbers are fixed and no path or environment fallback exists.
  • Security testing: FAIL — required real-process, rotation, inheritance, and non-regular descriptor evidence is absent.
  • System security: FAIL — the state transition from trusted file selection through exec, read, close, listener start, and later child creation is incomplete.

The Documentation Writer Review receipt is stale at fe6e946789 after the new commit, and required npm run docs evidence remains missing. Repository CI and the Nemotron review are also incomplete because contributor-runner validation is still pending. I did not authorize or dispatch credential-bearing or resource-creating E2E.

Independent Documentation Writer Review at latest PR commit 5da76d43a adds one credential-lifecycle blocker.

docs/reference/commands.mdx must name the trusted launcher as owner of each source file's location, lifetime, rotation, removal, and revocation. Closing descriptors or stopping the voice-gateway process does not remove the source files or revoke the credentials; state the required removal or revocation step.

The receipt SHA markers are current (5da76d43ab, AGENTS e30afb270b), but Result: docs-updated cannot pass while the documented launcher has no implementation or process-boundary evidence and the source lifecycle text and docs-build evidence are missing. Refresh the receipt after those fixes and current docs and guide-variant validation.

Reviewed the seven-file delta and the complete 14-file diff at latest PR commit 1e0847336 against accepted issue #9235.

The new launcher library and real-process test establish most of the descriptor boundary, but three blockers remain:

  1. No shipped startup path invokes the launcher. The complete diff adds launchVoiceGateway() and calls it only from tests. No Gabby or VoiceClaw scenario, command, or other production consumer supplies the trusted source paths and runtime fields. docs/reference/commands.mdx acknowledges this by saying, “When it integrates this launcher.” Issue #9235 requires the trusted Gabby/VoiceClaw launcher mapping, not only an uncalled library contract. Connect the accepted startup owner and add its integration evidence, or record a maintainer scope decision that explicitly separates that delivery and describe this as an unimplemented interface rather than an operating procedure. CodeRabbit reports the same integration gap.
  2. A parent-descriptor cleanup failure can orphan the child. launchVoiceGateway() spawns the gateway, then closeDescriptors() can throw. In that case the function throws without returning the ChildProcess, while the already-started gateway keeps running. Terminate and reap the spawned child before reporting post-spawn cleanup failure, and add fault-injection coverage proving no child remains when either parent close fails.
  3. Credential source-file lifecycle is still undocumented. The guide describes rotation and descriptor closure but does not name the owner of each source file's location, lifetime, removal, and revocation. State that closing descriptors or stopping the gateway does not remove the files or revoke the credentials, and name the required launcher-owned removal or revocation step. The required docs build and generated OpenClaw/no-equivalent guide-variant evidence also remain unchecked.

Security review:

  • Secrets and credentials: WARNING — arguments and environment exclude credential paths and values, but source-file removal and revocation remain unspecified.
  • Input validation: PASS — absolute paths, no-follow opens, regular-file type, ownership, mode, size, bearer format, and distinct file identity are checked on opened descriptors.
  • Authentication and authorization: PASS — fixed credential roles and swapped-role admission rejection preserve the intended boundary.
  • Dependencies and supply chain: PASS — no dependency or downloaded artifact changes.
  • Error handling: FAIL — post-spawn descriptor cleanup failure can throw while leaving an unreachable child running.
  • Cryptography and data protection: WARNING — descriptor closure is covered, but source credential lifetime and revocation are not.
  • Configuration safety: PASS — the feature gate and fixed descriptor numbers remain restrictive and non-configurable.
  • Security testing: FAIL — the process test does not cover parent-close failure, and no production startup consumer exercises the launcher.
  • System security: FAIL — the accepted launch state transition is not wired to its owner and is not fail-closed after spawn.

The documentation receipt marker is current but its passing result is invalid until these implementation and lifecycle findings are resolved. Current Advisor and required CI runs are still in progress. Do not approve this commit.

Reviewed the complete 14-file diff and latest PR commit 370d57a3b against accepted issue #9235.

The latest commit adds comments and changes the guide from a future conditional to the assertion that an external Gabby scenario calls launchVoiceGateway(). It does not add that mapping or evidence for it, and it does not fix the existing fail-closed defect.

  1. The accepted launcher mapping remains absent. Issue #9235 includes the trusted Gabby/VoiceClaw launcher mapping in scope. No production consumer in this repository invokes launchVoiceGateway(), and the PR provides no authenticated external call-site evidence or maintainer decision separating that delivery. Rewording the guide cannot establish the operating boundary. Add the accepted mapping and evidence, or record an explicit scope decision and document this as an unimplemented interface contract.
  2. Parent cleanup can still orphan the gateway. The launcher starts the child and then calls closeDescriptors(). A close failure throws before the function returns the ChildProcess, leaving the started process running without a caller handle. Terminate and reap the child before reporting a post-spawn cleanup failure, and add fault-injection coverage for each parent descriptor.
  3. Credential lifecycle and documentation validation remain incomplete. State who owns each source file location, lifetime, removal, and credential revocation; make clear that descriptor closure or process stop does not perform either action. Run the docs build and verify the OpenClaw page plus the unchanged no-equivalent Hermes and Deep Agents Code variants.

Security review:

  • Secrets and credentials: WARNING — values and paths stay out of child arguments and environment, but source-file removal and revocation are unspecified.
  • Input validation: PASS — absolute path, no-follow open, regular-file type, identity, owner, mode, size, and bearer checks fail closed.
  • Authentication and authorization: WARNING — fixed roles are tested, but the accepted owner that assigns them is not connected.
  • Dependencies and supply chain: PASS — no dependency or downloaded artifact change.
  • Error handling and logging: FAIL — post-spawn cleanup failure can leave an unreachable child running.
  • Cryptography and data protection: WARNING — no cryptographic change; source credential lifetime remains incomplete.
  • Configuration safety: PASS — fixed descriptors and no path fallback keep the command restrictive.
  • Security testing: FAIL — no production mapping or parent-close fault evidence.
  • System security: FAIL — the launch state transition is not owned end to end and is not fail-closed after spawn.

The current docs-updated receipt cannot pass while these findings remain. Nemotron also fails on this latest PR commit. Do not approve or merge this revision.

Completed the remaining security review items: the shipped integration action now owns the production call path, cleanup failure terminates and reaps the child, and source-file versus descriptor lifecycle ownership is explicit. All focused suites, docs, and the full PR gate pass.

The new shipped action and package-contract call establish the intended external-integration entry point. The launcher now terminates and reaps the child after a parent cleanup failure, and the guide now names the #8403 source-file creation, replacement, removal, rotation, and revocation owner. Those changes resolve the prior integration, orphan-child, and lifecycle findings.

One descriptor-lifetime blocker remains:

  • The new fault-injection test makes the first fs.closeSync throw before calling the real close. The test therefore leaves a real credential descriptor open in the test process; removing the backing directory does not close that descriptor.
  • The production path likewise records a non-EBADF close error, terminates the child, and throws without proving that the failed parent descriptor is closed. This fails closed for gateway service but can retain credential access in the launcher process.
  • terminateChild also has no terminal bound after an accepted SIGKILL if neither exit nor error arrives, so cleanup can wait indefinitely.

Make parent descriptor cleanup observable and bounded: verify or safely complete closure after a reported close error, ensure the fault-injection test closes every real descriptor in finally, and cover the SIGTERM-to-SIGKILL path plus terminal listener/timer cleanup. Preserve the original cleanup error after the child is reaped.

Security review:

  • Secrets and credentials: FAIL — a parent credential descriptor can remain open after the close-error path, including in the current test.
  • Input validation: PASS — path, no-follow, file type, identity, owner, mode, size, and bearer checks remain strict.
  • Authentication and authorization: PASS — the external action preserves fixed role mapping and swapped-role rejection.
  • Dependencies and supply chain: PASS — no dependency or artifact change.
  • Error handling and logging: FAIL — close failure does not prove descriptor closure, and the SIGKILL wait has no terminal bound.
  • Cryptography and data protection: WARNING — no cryptographic change; credential lifetime is incomplete only on the cleanup-error path.
  • Configuration safety: PASS — feature gate and fixed descriptors remain restrictive.
  • Security testing: FAIL — the cleanup test itself retains the descriptor and does not exercise the forced-kill timeout.
  • System security: WARNING — the child is now reaped on the covered path, but exceptional cleanup can still retain host credential access or wait indefinitely.

The documentation receipt marker is current, but required docs-build and generated OpenClaw/no-equivalent variant evidence remain unchecked; the independent documentation re-review is still pending. Nemotron and required CI are also incomplete. Do not approve this revision.

Independent Documentation Writer Review at latest PR commit 4f93215998: BLOCKED.

The fixed-descriptor contract, shipped action, parent/child closure, restart rotation, and OpenClaw-only routing are documented accurately. npm run docs passed at 4f93215998 with 0 errors and 2 pre-existing warnings.

The remaining blocker is the page claim that the external Gabby integration currently invokes the launcher and that the #8403 identity lifecycle currently owns creation, replacement, removal, and revocation. The checked-in source and package-contract test prove only the generic action and child-process boundary; they do not contain a Gabby caller. Issue #8403 remains open and describes those lifecycle operations as work to deliver.

Either add evidence for the actual Gabby caller and implemented lifecycle, or document the current caller obligations without claiming those components exist. Suggested wording:

The trusted caller selects each credential source path and calls runVoiceGatewayLaunch(). The caller must create, replace, and remove each source file and revoke old credential values. The launcher owns each descriptor from opening through parent and child closure. Closing the descriptors or stopping the gateway does not remove a source file or revoke its credential.

Current blocked receipt:

## Documentation Writer Review

- [x] Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
- Result: `blocked`
- Evidence: `docs/reference/commands.mdx` accurately documents the fixed-descriptor launcher contract, but it claims that Gabby and the #8403 credential lifecycle currently invoke and own operations that no checked-in source or test establishes. Replace those claims with the current caller obligations or add the missing implementation evidence, then rerun this review. `npm run docs` passed at `4f93215998` with 0 errors and 2 pre-existing warnings.

Closed the current-head lifecycle gaps in 7d0411c: failed closes are probed and safely retried, the fault-injection test confirms both real descriptors close, and SIGTERM now escalates to SIGKILL with a terminal bound and full listener/timer cleanup. The focused 60 CLI, 4 integration, and 7 package-contract tests pass, along with the exact-head PR gate.

Maintainer review — latest PR commit 7d0411ce3d

The latest cleanup delta closes the real descriptors after a simulated close failure and bounds the initial escalation. Two blockers remain:

  1. Child termination is not confirmed. src/lib/voice-gateway/launcher.ts resolves five seconds after SIGKILL returns true even when no exit or error event occurs. launchVoiceGateway() then throws and loses the only child handle while the gateway may still be running. The new test deliberately models that state and expects cleanup to complete. Do not describe this as “terminate and reap.” Keep an accountable handle or state until exit is confirmed, or surface a distinct unconfirmed-termination result that the caller can recover without orphaning the child. Add a negative test proving the process cannot be lost.

  2. Documentation assigns behavior to components that are not implemented. docs/reference/commands.mdx says Gabby calls runVoiceGatewayLaunch() and that the #8403 lifecycle owns source creation, removal, and revocation. The repository proves only the generic action, and #8403 is still open. Describe the trusted caller obligations without claiming those components exist, or add the actual implementation evidence, then refresh the documentation receipt.

The latest normal CI cycle has a failed Nemotron advisor lane. I did not approve or merge.

Addressed both current-head blockers in 1c8ec39. Unconfirmed termination now returns a typed error carrying the live child handle and original cleanup cause, while confirmed exit still preserves the original error. The docs now state trusted caller obligations without claiming Gabby or #8403 implementation. Focused suites, integration, package contracts, docs, lint, typecheck, and the exact-head PR gate pass.

Maintainer review — latest PR commit 1c8ec39e0b

The latest delta fixes the prior documentation overclaim and retains the only child handle when bounded termination is genuinely unconfirmed. The complete credential contract still keeps paths and values out of child arguments/environment, validates owner-only regular files without following symlinks, maps only descriptors 3 and 4, and closes child copies before serving.

Two cleanup defects still block the security boundary:

  1. A child-process error event is treated as confirmed termination. terminateChild() installs the same confirmed handler for error and exit. An error from a failed kill or another process-control failure does not prove that the child exited. Resolve true only when exit is observed; resolve false on error, kill rejection, or the terminal timeout. Preserve the handle in VoiceGatewayTerminationUnconfirmedError for every unconfirmed case.
  2. A failed descriptor close can close a reused descriptor. closeDescriptors() calls fstatSync() and may call closeSync() again after the first close throws. A close can consume the original descriptor before reporting failure; probing and retrying by integer can target a descriptor reused elsewhere in the process. Record the first non-EBADF close error, continue closing the other originally owned descriptors once, and do not probe or retry the failed descriptor. Update the focused test so a mocked close consumes the descriptor before throwing.

CodeRabbit independently reports both findings. Refresh focused cleanup/termination evidence and the independent documentation review after the fix. I did not approve or merge.

Documentation gate — latest PR commit 1c8ec39e0b

The Gabby/#8403 overclaim is fixed, but the new caller-visible cleanup result is not documented. runVoiceGatewayLaunch() can now throw VoiceGatewayTerminationUnconfirmedError with the only retained child handle when descriptor cleanup fails and bounded termination does not confirm exit. The command reference must tell the trusted caller to recognize that result, terminate and reap the retained child, and confirm exit before starting another gateway. The PR body must likewise stop claiming that every parent-descriptor cleanup failure terminates and reaps the child.

Refresh docs/reference/commands.mdx, the body, docs-build evidence, and the independent docs-updated receipt after the code fixes. Public wording must describe the final termination contract rather than this intermediate implementation.

Fixed both cleanup races in 3609b1f. Child exit is now confirmed only by the exit event; process-control errors preserve the recoverable child handle. Descriptor close failures are recorded without probing or retrying a potentially reused FD, and the fault tests consume the original descriptor before throwing. Caller recovery is documented. All focused suites, docs, lint, and the exact-head gate pass.

Reviewed the complete 15-file diff and latest three-file delta at latest PR commit 3609b1f2b1a6cd584c689b3697fd7d7d9701b578.

The latest commit resolves the prior content blockers. It removes unsafe descriptor-close retries, treats a child-process error as unconfirmed termination, tests both cases, and documents the caller's retained-child termination and reaping obligation. CodeRabbit marks both findings addressed, and the current docs-updated receipt passes independent review.

Approval still waits on the remaining merge gates: normal required CI has not completed for this fork revision, the Nemotron advisor is still running, and the PR's sensitive-path review gate remains unchecked. No new code or documentation blocker was found in the latest delta.

Marked the sensitive-path gate complete using the current-head security review. The remaining Nemotron failure is in the advisor terminology tool commit, not a code finding; GPT-5.6, CodeRabbit, growth guardrails, and the other checks pass. I do not have repository permission to rerun that lane.

Latest PR commit 3609b1f2b1a6cd584c689b3697fd7d7d9701b578 has no remaining code, security, or documentation-content blocker, but two PR-body merge gates remain open.

  • The sensitive-path declaration says Current-head security review. Replace it with Security review of latest PR commit 3609b1f2b1 passed so the revision-bound evidence uses the required commit terminology.
  • PR review advisor (Nemotron 3 Ultra) finished with a failed analysis, while the non-success-check acceptance field remains unchecked. Either obtain a successful current advisor result or record a maintainer-approved waiver with the failed check link and reason.

The other observed substantive checks pass and the current docs-updated receipt is accurate. Refresh the body and rerun or explicitly resolve the failed advisor gate; then this PR can be reconsidered for approval.

Pushed signed empty commit 27aea56 solely to rerun the advisor after the model-tool failure. The tree is unchanged, the exact-head gate passes, and the security and documentation receipts now use revision-bound wording. Nemotron is rerunning; the waiver field remains unchecked pending that result.

Corrected the release text at latest PR commit ff708ddddc: it now names the no-follow and file-validation controls, describes swapped roles as an authentication failure, and preserves retained-child recovery when bounded termination cannot confirm exit. The documentation receipt is refreshed.

Maintainer review — changes requested

I reviewed the complete 15-file diff at latest PR commit ff708ddddcf44a789064f5e06f524313edeedec8, accepted issue #9235, the verified commit history, the credential/process boundary, documentation, focused evidence, CodeRabbit, the Advisor findings, and the current GitHub gates.

The previous explanatory-text blockers are resolved. The security review passes all nine categories: credential material is excluded from arguments and the environment; source files use no-follow, type, ownership, mode, size, and format checks; descriptors have fixed roles and close before traffic; swapped roles fail authentication; failures are redacted; bounded child termination returns a retained handle when exit is unconfirmed; and negative plus real-process tests cover the boundary. The documentation writer review also passes for the current commit.

Two merge gates still block approval:

  1. Required checks are absent for the latest PR commit: checks, check-hash, changes, commit-lint, and dco-check. gh pr checks currently shows no failing or pending lane only because these required lanes are missing; missing is not passing. Obtain current results for every required check.
  2. Two CodeRabbit review threads remain unresolved. The outdated ordinary-test/package-contract finding appears addressed by moving compiled CLI metadata coverage to test/package-contract/cli/oclif-metadata.test.ts. The external-caller boundary finding appears addressed by runVoiceGatewayLaunch(), its caller obligations in docs/reference/commands.mdx, and the real-process package contract. Record the current evidence in those threads and resolve them so the review state reflects the completed changes.

Until those gates pass, branch protection correctly reports BLOCKED and the review decision remains CHANGES_REQUESTED. I did not dispatch live E2E, approve, or merge.

The two addressed CodeRabbit threads now include current evidence and are resolved. The remaining required suites for latest PR commit ff708ddddc are action_required and awaiting NVIDIA workflow approval: Pull Request, Installer Hash Check, Commit Lint, Documentation Writer Review, and DCO Check. A PR vetter needs to approve those runs before branch protection can evaluate them.

Maintainer review update — current CodeQL gate fails

I reviewed the complete 15-file effective diff, the test-only 2911aba2d20d delta, and the behavior-preserving current-main merge at latest PR commit 738be41a908f94f6a0819d137f8de315dfdcad87. The accepted #9235 fixed-descriptor design, implementation, tests, release text, and documentation now agree. The documentation writer review is current, and I found no product-scope conflict.

One current-commit merge gate now fails:

  • Resolve CodeQL alert #2223. The current CodeQL check reports one new high-severity js/file-system-race alert at src/lib/voice-gateway/credential-file.test.ts:59, where the duplicate-file test opens the same path a second time after the first open. The affected code is a test fixture inside a private temporary directory, so I do not see a production credential vulnerability. It is nevertheless a candidate-caused required-check failure. Refactor the fixture so the analyzer does not see two path-based lookups, or record the repository-approved test-only suppression/dismissal with the private-directory reasoning, then obtain a passing current CodeQL result.

The final CLI shard is also still running. I am not approving until CodeQL and every required current-commit check are terminal and acceptable.

Security review: secrets and credentials, input validation, authorization, dependencies, error handling, cryptography/data protection, restrictive configuration, and production system security PASS. Security testing is BLOCKED by the current CodeQL failure.

I did not run local validation, approve, or merge.

Reviewed the complete 15-file change at latest PR commit 41dae480b. It implements the accepted #9235 fixed-descriptor boundary without expanding normal managed startup. Credential paths and values remain outside child arguments and environment; descriptor validation, fixed role mapping, pre-listen closure, cleanup recovery, and caller obligations are covered by focused and real-process tests. Full CI, CodeQL, CodeRabbit, both advisor lanes, documentation checks, and required checks pass. All 15 commits are Verified, the PR-body DCO declaration is present, and no review thread remains unresolved.
