Requesting changes: the new canonical second-resolution leaf is not unique. Two snapshot attempts in the same second reuse the directory because the leaf mkdir is recursive, so copy results can mix; worse, failure cleanup removes that shared parent and can delete another successful snapshot. Please reserve a unique leaf atomically (for example, a non-recursive leaf mkdir plus collision suffix/retry) and add same-second/concurrent regression coverage.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review
What the latest commit resolved
Commit 2136365a9a862a25b3a55c97ae4fe06127cf9356 makes createSnapshotBundle reserve a snapshot directory before it copies data. This resolves the same-second collision in that writer.
Why changes are requested
The fix adds a second snapshot-directory allocation authority instead of removing the duplicate design that caused #9433.
commands/migration-state.ts:757-777now ownsreserveSnapshotDirand its timestamp formatter.blueprint/snapshot.ts:43-48still ownscompactTimestampfor the same directory grammar.blueprint/snapshot.ts:114-120still creates the same second-resolution snapshot leaf with recursivemkdirSync. Two calls in one second can reuse that directory.blueprint/snapshot-management.ts:11separately owns the accepted name grammar.
The latest commit adds 22 net production lines to one writer. It leaves the same collision class in the other writer and preserves three copies of one contract.
Refactor direction
Extract one dependency-light snapshot-directory module. It should own the canonical name grammar, timestamp formatting, and atomic leaf reservation.
Use that module from both createSnapshotBundle and createSnapshot. Return the reserved path and timestamp so each manifest records the reserved identity. Preserve the blueprint writer's symlink rejection before reservation.
Test same-second reservation at the shared boundary. Keep only the consumer assertions that verify each manifest uses the returned identity.
Expected result
The codebase has one snapshot-directory contract instead of a private formatter, a local reservation helper, and a separate reader pattern. Both writers become collision-safe, and the shared implementation should reduce production LOC compared with parallel implementations.
createSnapshotBundle with persist wrote ~/.nemoclaw/snapshots/<ISO timestamp
with separators replaced by "-">, but the retention reader accepts only the
compact ^\d{8}T\d{6}Z$ directory grammar and requires the manifest to name the
same identity. The migration snapshots that host-files-and-state documents as
managed by snapshots list, prune, and delete were invisible to all three:
prune kept them at every retention level, and delete rejected a direct child
of the snapshots directory as outside that directory.
Write the canonical grammar and record it in the manifest as an optional
timestamp. Manifests written without the field stay readable.

The directory grammar the retention reader accepts is second-resolution, so
two snapshots in the same second computed the same leaf. mkdirSync with
recursive: true is silent on an existing directory, so the second operation
would copy into the first snapshot, and its failure path would remove a
directory it did not create.
Reserve the leaf with a non-recursive mkdir and advance to the next second on
EEXIST. A collision suffix would leave the ^\d{8}T\d{6}Z$ pattern that this
change set out to satisfy, so the retry stays inside the grammar.

NVIDIA#9433 exists because the snapshot directory contract lived in three places: `blueprint/snapshot.ts` formatted the name and created the leaf with a recursive mkdir, `commands/migration-state.ts` formatted it again, and `blueprint/snapshot-management.ts` owned the grammar the retention commands accept. Fixing only one writer left the same collision in the other. Add `blueprint/snapshot-directory.ts` owning the grammar, the compact UTC timestamp and atomic leaf reservation, and use it from `createSnapshot` and `createSnapshotBundle`. Both now reserve before copying, and each manifest records the reserved identity. The blueprint writer keeps its symlink rejection ahead of reservation; a planted entry at a candidate name now fails the non-recursive mkdir and reservation advances past it instead of writing through it. Same-second reservation is tested once at the shared boundary. The consumers keep only the assertion that each manifest names the directory it received.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review
Resolution
Commit f20286e6ff08074668e5684fdc1b12d2991ef985 resolves the simplicity blocker. snapshot-directory.ts now owns the accepted name grammar, compact UTC formatting, and atomic directory reservation. Both snapshot writers use that contract, the retention reader imports the same grammar, and the blueprint writer retains its symlink check before reservation. Same-second reservation is covered once at the shared boundary while each consumer verifies the identity it receives.

Pushed 658d2f0 to close the remaining writer/reader contract gap from the review advisor. The new regression creates a real persisted migration snapshot via createSnapshotBundle, verifies listSnapshots discovers the resulting manifest/directory, then prunes it through pruneSnapshots with the retention deletion seam and confirms the reader is empty afterward.

Approved on exact head 658d2f0a53bfd053c3d760a6d1cf62a1b279a050. The shared snapshot-directory contract closes the writer/reader retention gap, the real writer-to-list/prune regression now covers the handoff, all commits are verified, all current checks and both advisor lanes are clean, and no live E2E selector is required.
<!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 --> ## Summary This pull request (PR) fixes typed live E2E artifact lookup after semantic test titles were introduced. Registry targets now bind the artifact fixture to their stable target ID. LangChain Deep Agents Code reads base image publication evidence from the directory that the trusted workflow writes and uploads. ## Confirmed E2E Root `typed E2E titles / ArtifactSink root identity / DCode publication evidence written by stable target ID but read from semantic-title slug` - Source workflow: [run 32204372503](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32204372503), attempt 1, at `ee6762b9941777d64dad832994b03ca2a572d4c9`. - Failed target: [job 95930234625](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32204372503/job/95930234625), LangChain Deep Agents Code on GitHub Actions. - Failure: phase 1 stopped in 19 ms at `loadDcodeBaseImagePublicationEvidence:103` with `Deep Agents Code GitHub Actions run is missing published base evidence`. No onboarding or runtime phase ran. - The workflow validated the exact candidate checkout, CLI artifact, base image publication index, linux/amd64 child digest, and stripped-base negative import gate. Sanitization, evidence upload, Docker authentication cleanup, and workspace cleanup passed. PR #9514, merged as `1acc902896e6324f773df9dbcc32a761118c6f05`, changed typed live test titles from a stable target ID to `<target-id>: <semantic test title>`. The workflow continued to write `dcode-base-image.json` below `${TARGET_ID}`. The E2E artifact fixture derived its directory from the complete semantic test title. ## Changes - Add typed `e2eArtifactRootId` test metadata. The stateful E2E artifact fixture uses it before the existing `task.name` fallback. - Bind both supported and skipped registry target registrations to the already validated `target.id`. - Reuse one Deep Agents Code base image publication evidence fixture across the parser tests and artifact-root regression test. - Keep one nested Vitest regression test. It writes evidence below the stable target ID, asserts that ID as the artifact-root basename, and confirms no directory is derived from the semantic test title. - Leave `createArtifactSink`, the workflow fixture, workflow publication and upload paths, credentials, redaction, and cleanup unchanged. ## Base SHA Reconciliation Latest PR commit `69e46712823e50d0d009e8300f91ee519098649d` is a normal GitHub-Verified merge with ordered parents [`a5cbade3e7d375c14a515d9ff6950e4a7af0e647`, `7afe39541e81f70d9e1aa39c49415084d8276524`].

None changes the six files in this PR, `ArtifactSink`, or trusted E2E workflow files. #9566 changes only `test/package-contract/cli/credentials-cli-command.test.ts` and corrects the inherited provider-reservation assertion that caused pre-reconciliation `build-typecheck` to fail.

timestamp. Four production lines, one of them a comment. No documentationchange: the docs already describe the intended behavior.
Why the writer and not the reader
The reader's strictness is a safety property, not an oversight.
snapshotNameFromPathis the gateon
deleteSnapshotand onisSnapshotPathInsideSnapshotsDir, andsnapshots deleteisirreversible by design (the docs say so).
snapshot-management.test.tsnames its cases "listsstrict snapshot identities" and "skips malformed directories, manifests, and non-directory entries"
— fail-closed is the intent. Widening that pattern to accept a second grammar would relax an
irreversible-deletion gate to accommodate a writer that can simply emit the canonical name.
Why not a compatibility read for snapshots already on disk
Snapshots written by an earlier version keep their old directory names and remain invisible to the
retention commands. That is deliberate.
listSnapshotswould still skip them becausetheir manifests have no
timestampat all, so it would also require relaxing themanifest-identity check — the check that binds a manifest to the directory it describes. That is
two loosened invariants in the reader, to serve a case with no current consumer.
prune --keep 3would start deleting rollback points that no previous version could delete. Anupgrade silently widening what an irreversible command destroys is worse than leaving the old
directories alone.
docs/reference/host-files-and-state.mdxalready tells operators they may remove them once thecorresponding rollback point is no longer needed.
CLAUDE.md: "Do not add configuration, fallback, migration, compatibility, or extension layerswithout a current requirement."
If maintainers would rather have a one-time compatibility read, say so and I will add it as a
separate change with its own test.
Compatibility
SnapshotManifest.timestampis optional.isSnapshotManifestis a conjunction of fieldchecks with no whole-key check, so manifests written before this change still validate and
loadSnapshotManifeststill reads them. Existing rollback and restore paths are unaffected, andmigration-state-test-fixtures.ts::makeSnapshotManifestneeds no change.persist: falsestaging path uses the same variable, so its directory name changes shape too.Nothing parses that name; the only consumers of
bundle.snapshotDirjoin further path segmentsonto it.
test/e2e-test.shis unaffected. Step 6 assertslistSnapshots().length === 1after callingcreateSnapshot(), and the onlycreateSnapshotBundlecall in that script (step 8) runs laterand uses
persist: false, so no persisted migration snapshot exists while that assertion runs.Known duplication
The compact grammar is now expressed in two places:
blueprint/snapshot.ts's privatecompactTimestampand this call site. Sharing it would mean either a new module or importingblueprint/snapshot.ts— which pulls inexecaand evaluateshomedir()at module scope — intocommands/for a date format. The contract that actually needs one owner is the pattern the readeraccepts, and
snapshot-management.ts:11already owns that. Happy to extract a shared helper if youprefer it.
Tests
Extended the existing
createSnapshotBundlecase innemoclaw/src/commands/migration-state.test.ts— the file's onlypersist: truescenario. No newfile, no new import, no parallel case. The assertions cover the persisted directory grammar and the
manifest identity that binds to it; both are required for
listandpruneto see the snapshot.The added assertions fail against the unpatched writer:
ci/test-file-size-budget.jsonpins this file to exactly 1300 lines, so the case's null guard wascollapsed to one line and its two manifest assertions merged into one
toMatchObjectto pay for thenew ones. The file is still exactly 1300 lines and the budget file is untouched.
