Summary

Voice Gateway admissions now derive an internal OpenClaw session key from the configured agent, runtime profile, runtime identity, and validated runtimeConversationId. Sequential one-turn admissions for one voice call reuse OpenClaw context, while a new conversation or configured binding receives a separate context.

Related Issue

Fixes #9411

Changes

  • Replace the random per-admission OpenClaw session key with a SHA-256 digest of the validated runtime binding inside the nemoclaw-voice namespace.
  • Add source tests for deterministic reuse, binding isolation, and omission of the raw conversation ID from the derived key.
  • Add HTTP integration tests that reject malformed, oversized, and runtime-supplied session-key input before OpenClaw client creation.
  • Extend the pinned OpenClaw fixture to prove context reuse across two separate admissions and context isolation for a new voice call.
  • Keep the existing one-turn admission, timeout, duplicate-turn, active-turn, and redaction behavior. Session close or expiry still removes the grant and closes the client.
  • Keep the gateway experimental. Maintainer-provided VoiceClaw/WebRTC evidence confirms same-call context reuse and new-call isolation.

Walkthrough

The Voice Gateway now derives deterministic OpenClaw session keys from trusted runtime bindings and conversation IDs. Tests cover context reuse, isolation, internal key handling, context-aware gateway responses, and invalid admission data.

Changes

Voice session context

Integration tests validate sequential context reuse, conversation isolation, internal key hiding, updated deterministic ID sequences, and rejection of invalid admission fields.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c4928

The PR changes voice-session keying to preserve context across sequential turns. Merge readiness is moderate because the required broad validation has not completed and still needs workflow-owner acceptance; an integration test also hard-codes the derived-key format, creating a bounded maintenance risk.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Why this blocks

test/voice-gateway-integration.test.ts:362-433 adds two standalone admission-rejection tests. Each recreates the same VoiceSessionService, clientsCreated counter, HTTP server, and listener setup at lines 364-379 and 403-418. The existing authority-boundary test immediately below already owns that setup at lines 435-454 and already proves that caller-selected admission fields are rejected before createClient.

The two new tests total 71 lines even though their distinct behavior is only three request bodies and their expected invalid_request responses.

Refactor direction

Fold the malformed conversation ID, oversized conversation ID, and caller-supplied sessionKey bodies into the existing admission-authority test, preferably as one small table. Reuse its single service and server, assert each exact 400 response, then keep one clientsCreated === 0 assertion before the existing valid admission.

Keep the composed context-reuse test and pinned OpenClaw context fixture; they cover distinct #9411 behavior and do not need another abstraction.

Expected result

All three rejection cases still prove fail-before-client behavior, while the duplicated setup disappears. This should remove roughly 40 lines from the +155/-3 integration-test change and leave one test owner for the HTTP admission authority boundary.

Addressed in 525218e.

  • Consolidated the malformed ID, oversized ID, caller-supplied sessionKey, and runtime authority override cases into the existing admission-authority test.
  • Reused one service, server, and client counter. A named helper sends the request table outside the test callback to comply with the repository growth guardrail.
  • Kept one clientsCreated === 0 assertion before the valid admission.
  • Reduced the review-response commit to 26 additions and 82 deletions.

Validation:

  • npx vitest run --project cli --project integration src/lib/voice-gateway/session-service.test.ts test/voice-gateway-integration.test.ts — 2 files and 17 tests passed.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Resolved at 567e9c1d1787d7135fd1b20989a3dd8863b22dd5.

The malformed ID, oversized ID, caller-supplied sessionKey, and authority-override bodies now share the existing admission-authority service and HTTP server. One table-shaped request collection asserts all four exact failures, followed by one clientsCreated === 0 boundary assertion. The two duplicate standalone server fixtures are gone.

The integration-test diff is now +109/-12 rather than +155/-3, a 55-net-line reduction, while retaining the distinct composed context-reuse proof. I found no replacement LOC or codebase-simplicity blocker in the complete current diff.

This is a scope-limited follow-up, not an approval or a correctness, security, or CI review.

One automated review finding is still valid on the current branch revision. Both voice tests assert the digest implementation’s 43-character shape. Please keep only the stable namespace and require a non-empty opaque suffix:

expect.stringMatching(/^agent:main:nemoclaw-voice:.+$/u)

Apply this in:

  • src/lib/voice-gateway/session-service.test.ts
  • test/voice-gateway-integration.test.ts

This is test-only and does not change production behavior. I prepared and verified the minimal patch locally because maintainer edits are disabled for this branch:

  • focused voice tests: 17 passed
  • changed-test selection: 32 growth checks and 12 selected tests passed
  • CLI type-check and CLI/plugin builds passed
  • normal commit hooks passed

A separate human evidence blocker remains. Issue #9411 asks for a composed VoiceClaw/WebRTC two-question run plus new-call isolation. The repository has no trusted E2E target for that behavior. The generic manual PR suite does not cover it and can expose long-lived credentials to candidate code, so I did not dispatch it. Please attach the required runtime evidence or have a maintainer identify an applicable trusted workflow.

Outside review — derived voice session key

Outside contributor here, not a maintainer — offering evidence rather than a decision. Read-only analysis
at head 567e9c1d1 against main at 7afe39541; limits at the end.

What holds up

The derivation covers every field it needs to, and the isolation test is not vacuous. The key is
agent:<agent>:nemoclaw-voice:<sha256(JSON.stringify([agent, runtimeProfile, runtimeIdentity, sandbox, runtimeConversationId]))>. Because the payload is a JSON.stringifyd array rather than a concatenation,
a separator appearing inside a field cannot make two different bindings collide. The six-way Set-size
assertion in session-service.test.ts would genuinely fail if any one of the five inputs were dropped from
the binding, which is what makes it worth having.

The new admission-rejection table is real, not decorative. I traced each of the four rows to the code
that rejects it:

  • ../namespace-escape and "x".repeat(129) fail RUNTIME_VALUE_PATTERN
    (session-service.ts:17), which anchors on an alphanumeric first character and caps the value at 128.
  • A runtime-supplied sessionKey and a runtime-supplied agent/gatewayUrl fail
    exactBody(body, ["runtimeConversationId"]) (adapters/http/voice-gateway-server.ts:150-160, used at
    :181), which requires the request's key set to be exactly that one field — so an unknown property is
    rejected rather than ignored.

expect(clientsCreated).toBe(0) after those four is the assertion that makes the point: no OpenClaw client
is constructed before the request is rejected.

The admission grant is untouched by the change. randomGrant is still randomBytes(32) and
grantMatches still compares via timingSafeEqual over a SHA-256 digest (session-service.ts:65-67), so
the part of the flow that authorises a turn is unchanged; only the OpenClaw-side correlation key becomes
derived. That key is used at openclaw-client.ts:165 and :246 to filter inbound frames belonging to this
conversation, which is consistent with wanting it stable across admissions.

The description reads as though it predates the ready-for-review flip

Two lines in the body still describe the change as a draft — the sensitive-path justification records
"Pending independent review; this PR is a draft", and the last Changes bullet ends "...remain external
evidence before this draft can become approval-ready" — while the pull request is open for review and not
marked draft. This looks like the body predating that transition rather than anything wrong in the code,
but it does change what a reviewer thinks is being asked of them, so it is probably worth a one-line edit.

Two lines outside the described scope

test/openclaw-tui-chat-correlation.test.ts:585 and its live twin
test/e2e/live/openclaw-tui-chat-correlation.test.ts:502 both change an unrelated repro's session key from
issue2603-<ts>-<uuid> to agent:main:issue2603-<ts>-<uuid>. That key is passed straight to chat.send /
chat.history on the OpenClaw gateway and is only used to filter events back out
(isOwnSessionChatEvent, :127-131), so I could not tell from the diff whether the prefix is now required
by OpenClaw to resolve the agent, or whether it is alignment with the new voice-gateway format.

Worth naming either way, because neither line runs in an ordinary unit pass: in
test/openclaw-tui-chat-correlation.test.ts the enclosing case is
it.runIf(process.env.NEMOCLAW_ISSUE_2603_LIVE === "1") (:1000), and the other file is in the live e2e
lane. So the answer will only surface the next time someone runs the live repro. If the prefix is
required, that is a finding worth a sentence in the summary; if it is cosmetic, the two lines could come
out and keep this change to the voice gateway.

One size note

preserves agent context across separate admissions for one runtime conversation asserts both
expect(output).toEqual(["I will remember Apollo.", "Apollo", "I do not know."]) and, three lines later,
expect(sessionKeys[1]).toBe(sessionKeys[0]) / expect(sessionKeys[2]).not.toBe(sessionKeys[0]). Those
are the same proposition: the fixture's emitContextTurn remembers per sessionKey
(test/fixtures/voice-gateway/pinned-openclaw-gateway.ts), so the transcript can only come out that way
when the keys match and diverge exactly as the second pair asserts. Dropping the conversationContext
map and the emitContextTurn branch would take the fixture back to one code path and lose no coverage
that the key assertions do not already carry — the composed HTTP path is exercised by the surrounding
createSession/commitTurn/closeSession calls regardless. Offering it as an option rather than a
request; if the intent is to demonstrate end-to-end memory behaviour rather than key equality, the extra
fixture branch is the honest way to do that.

What I did not do

I did not run the repository test suite, typecheck, a build, or CI, and I did not trigger any workflow —
there are no node_modules in my checkout and I installed none. I did not run the voice gateway, OpenClaw,
or any live repro. Everything above is reading plus tracing call sites; the rejection table is traced to
code, not observed. Line numbers are from head 567e9c1d1 and main at 7afe39541.

Addressed the remaining automated test-contract finding in signed, GitHub-Verified commit 443525161:

  • both voice tests now assert only the stable agent:main:nemoclaw-voice: namespace and a non-empty opaque suffix
  • removed the implementation-specific base64url alphabet and 43-character length pin
  • production behavior is unchanged

Validation:

  • focused voice suites: 2 files / 17 tests passed
  • repository checks, TypeScript, source-shape, growth guardrails, semantic E2E-plan checks, and full validate:pr hooks passed

Fresh exact-head CI is running. I am not approving yet: issue #9411 and the PR body still require trusted composed VoiceClaw/WebRTC evidence for two sequential questions and new-call isolation, and no current repository workflow supplies that evidence.

Maintainer runtime evidence

I validated the deployed VoiceClaw/WebRTC flow at https://10.176.175.30:3443/ on August 18, 2026. Everyone can test here (turn on VPN)

Same-call context reuse — PASS

  • I asked: "Who is Luffy?" OpenClaw identified Luffy as the main character of One Piece and named Eiichiro Oda as its creator.
  • Later in the same session, I clarified: "Who is the author?" OpenClaw answered Eiichiro Oda, correctly using the earlier One Piece context.

New-call isolation — PASS

  • I started a new voice session.
  • The new session began without context from the previous Luffy and One Piece conversation and did not reference it.

This confirms the requested composed runtime behavior: sequential turns in one call preserve context, while a new call is isolated.

Security Review: PASS\n\nI reviewed the complete change on the current branch revision.\n\n- The runtime conversation ID is validated before use. The runtime cannot select the agent, OpenClaw session key, upstream URL, or forwarding destination.\n- The derived key is an internal correlation value, not an authorization credential. Deployment authentication, random session grants, constant-time grant checks, one-active-session enforcement, and cleanup behavior are unchanged.\n- The binding includes the configured agent, runtime profile, runtime identity, sandbox, and validated conversation ID. Different bindings remain isolated, while separate admissions for one call reuse context.\n- API responses and the new tests do not expose the derived key or raw conversation ID. No credential, diagnostic, filesystem, network, process, permission, dependency, or security-policy behavior is added.\n- SHA-256 is used only to create an opaque internal name. It does not replace the existing authentication or grant boundaries.\n- Negative tests cover malformed and oversized conversation IDs, caller-supplied authority fields, binding isolation, response redaction, and client cleanup.\n\nNo security blocker remains.\n\n## Documentation Writer Review: PASS with post-merge follow-up\n\nThe code change is ready for review without a documentation edit in this PR. The experimental voice-gateway reference already states that the trusted runtime supplies the correlation value and cannot select OpenClaw authority.\n\nThe post-merge documentation pass should add the new integration rule: reuse one runtime conversation ID for questions in the same call, and create a new ID for a new call. That work is eligible for the repository's documentation catch-up workflow because it is confined to the docs directory.\n\nThe required composed runtime evidence is present: same-call context reuse and new-call isolation.\n\nThis receipt records security and documentation review only. Independent approval is still required.

CI classification: workflow-owner decision required

The current branch revision has no identified test or review failure.

  • On the first CI attempt, shards 5, 7, and 9 reached the 15-minute job limit and were cancelled.
  • I ran one bounded retry of only the failed jobs and their aggregate gates. Shard 5 passed.
  • On the retry, shard 7 and shard 9 each spent about 891–893 seconds in the Pi search-tool installation step. Both were cancelled before dependency installation, build, or tests began.
  • Neither attempt emitted an assertion failure or produced a Vitest report for those two shards.
  • The primary PR Review Advisor completed with no blockers, warnings, or suggestions. Its second-opinion lane stopped during analysis after a partial result. The published assessment reports no blocking finding and no advisor follow-up; there are no unresolved review threads.

I did not start a third retry. The remaining red checks reflect the repeated hosted installation timeout and an incomplete second-opinion review, not an identified failure in this four-file voice change.

A workflow owner must decide how to restore the required CI evidence, such as correcting the hosted installation boundary or supplying repository-owned replacement evidence. The PR also still needs an independent human approval. It remains blocked; no check will be waived or bypassed.

Reviewed latest PR commit c4928c0e1f2684e6e88dcd6f4a3a527f5e6464fd against base SHA fefc93e3950493b2348711639155cf25b985b82c.

The deterministic session key is derived from the agent, runtime profile, runtime identity, sandbox, and runtime conversation ID, so context is reused only inside the intended authority boundary. The admission path continues to reject malformed or oversized conversation IDs and caller-supplied session keys before client creation. Focused verification passed: 12 session-service tests, 5 voice-gateway integration tests, and git diff --check.

I accept the non-success CLI aggregate for this commit: the canceled shards stopped while installing the pinned OS-level search packages and did not reach repository dependency installation, build, or test execution.

Security review:

  • Secrets and credentials: no credentials or raw conversation IDs are added to generated keys, logs, or fixtures.
  • Input validation: runtime binding values and conversation IDs retain the bounded runtime-value validation; malformed and oversized IDs are covered.
  • Authentication and authorization: authorization and grant checks are unchanged, while all authority-bearing runtime bindings participate in key derivation.
  • Dependencies: no production dependency changes.
  • Error handling and logging: invalid inputs fail before client creation; no new sensitive logging.
  • Cryptography: SHA-256 is used for deterministic namespace derivation, not authentication or secret storage; the resulting namespace has ample collision resistance for this use.
  • Configuration and deployment: no deployment, privilege, or policy expansion.
  • Testing and coverage: same-call reuse, cross-call and cross-binding isolation, invalid inputs, and raw-ID omission are covered; 17 focused tests pass.
  • System-level safety: deterministic reuse remains confined to the existing per-agent/runtime/sandbox boundary and does not widen host or sandbox authority.

No blocking findings for the commit under review.

## Summary

Add the canonical dated changelog entry required before planning the
v0.0.112 release.
The entry summarizes the 75 merged PRs in
`v0.0.111..af56158`, links user-facing
themes to published documentation routes, and links every included
source PR.

## Changes

- Add `docs/changelog/2026-08-20.mdx` with the exact `## v0.0.112`
release heading and parser-safe MDX SPDX comment.
- Cover managed local inference, onboarding and sandbox lifecycle
recovery, messaging continuity, review and release automation, E2E
qualification, dependency updates, and cumulative documentation
catch-up.
- Preserve the documentation skip list and supported-agent matrix; the
release entry contains none of the blocked terms or excluded
experimental surfaces.
