Summary

Manual PR E2E could test a candidate CLI against a released managed-image cohort, so candidate/runtime revision skew could produce the trusted-private OpenClaw MCP discovery failure reported in #8746. This change binds affected same-repository PR runs to one exact all-agent publication cohort and adds two required, credential-free executions of the complete reported OpenClaw MCP bridge scenario before merge.

Fixes #8746

Related: #9464

Changes

  • Resolve the unique successful Images / Managed Images run for the exact PR head from the trusted base workflow before candidate checkout.
  • Download each immutable managed-image contract artifact by ID, verify its digest and producer identity, and reject missing, mixed-revision, mixed-release, mixed-cohort, or incomplete catalogs.
  • Package only the verified catalog with the exact candidate CLI, after removing any candidate-created catalog at the trust boundary.
  • Make live onboarding and rebuild consume that exact catalog and reject conflicts with legacy environment or durable receipt authority.
  • Add two independent PR exact OpenClaw trusted-private MCP discovery matrix jobs that run the unchanged test/e2e/live/mcp-bridge.test.ts OpenClaw shard on fresh runners and sandboxes using the exact PR cohort.
  • Preserve released-catalog behavior for external forks and PRs outside the managed-image workflow path filter.

Investigation Result and Ownership

The cutover recurrence recorded an empty fake-fixture request ledger while trusted-private pins matched, placing the failure before the adapter request rather than during a successful MCP protocol exchange. Manual PR E2E had no exact-candidate publication input and could pair the candidate CLI with the released managed-image catalog. The resulting candidate/runtime revision skew is owned by NemoClaw CI orchestration, not by the OpenShell credential, policy, or MCP protocol path.

This PR fixes that NemoClaw-owned cause by making the trusted base resolve one immutable, exact-head publication cohort before candidate code runs and by making live onboarding consume only that validated catalog. It does not add a runtime workaround, timing retry, credential-isolation exception, policy bypass, or OpenShell change. The unchanged complete scenario must pass twice on the coherent cohort; a recurrence of the empty-ledger signature blocks acceptance.

Trust-Boundary Rationale

  • The manual E2E planner executes the trusted workflow revision before candidate checkout. Its exact read-only actions, contents, and pull-requests permissions are required to bind the PR, workflow run, and immutable artifacts; GITHUB_TOKEN is scoped to that resolver step, candidate checkout does not persist credentials, and any candidate-created catalog is removed before the trusted catalog is installed.
  • Producer and consumer jobs independently validate artifacts because the artifact transfer is a trust boundary. They now invoke the same TypeScript catalog-contract owner, so validation is repeated without duplicating schema or authority.
  • E2E_MANAGED_IMAGE_REVISION remains the released-catalog assertion for unchanged non-PR qualification. The PR catalog path is separate and simultaneous use fails closed; migrating every legacy E2E is outside this fix.
  • The credential-free MCP job uses the repository's existing official cloudflared release pin, exact SHA-256, and Debian package-metadata checks already enforced by the trusted MCP and standard-profile workflow boundaries.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Both exact-head Images / Managed Images / PR exact OpenClaw trusted-private MCP discovery matrix checks pass independently (pass 1 and pass 2); neither is a retry for the other.
  • Each pass proves its catalog contains all three shipped agents at revision 6a6406e44aec19d5178c35c9729f8240ceade0a4, platform linux/amd64, and one publication cohort before onboarding.
  • Each pass reaches the same trusted-private discovery assertion reported in Investigate trusted-private MCP tool discovery returning zero tools on OpenShell v0.0.101 #8746 and records toolDiscovery={ok:true,count:2} with fake_echo and fake_status.
  • Each pass records sanitized fixture requests for initialize and tools/list, session-metadata presence, successful response status, and matched synthetic credential rewriting.
  • Each pass preserves provider attachment, policy pinning, adapter status, credential isolation, DNS-rebinding denial, artifact credential scan, and verified resource cleanup.
  • The tests use no production credentials.
  • All required CI, PR Review Advisor results, CodeRabbit review, human review, unresolved-thread, mergeability, and exact-head commit-verification gates are green before admin merge.

Evidence: pending for merge head 6a6406e44aec19d5178c35c9729f8240ceade0a4; the prior-head evidence was superseded by the required main merge.

  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — 123 focused resolver, workflow-contract, onboarding, rebuild, and artifact-integrity tests passed before the required main merge. The only conflict was the retry inventory; conflict-marker/diff checks and markdown lint passed, with broader local reruns intentionally omitted per maintainer direction.
  • Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — awaiting exact-head PR CI.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6a640

The PR changes how same-repository E2E runs select managed-image cohorts and adds required discovery checks, but the current workflow cannot complete those checks because revision validation is invalid and the publication contract count conflicts with the three-agent matrix. These failures can block every affected PR run, so merge should wait for the workflow fixes and policy clearance for the added repository URL.

Warnings

Warnings do not block.

PRA-1 Warning — Add resolver orchestration coverage for catalog applicability

  • Location: tools/e2e/pr-managed-image-publication.mts:300
  • Category: tests
  • Problem: The new resolver has tests for helper functions, but no test exercises its request sequence and conditional exit. A future change can request publication artifacts for an unchanged PR, or write a catalog before all bound requests complete, without failing the existing tests.
  • Impact: A regression in the new trusted planner can select an unnecessary catalog or weaken the intended ordered evidence boundary without a focused test failure.
  • Recommendation: Add mocked-request tests for the unchanged-path early return and the managed-path full request sequence with three validated contract archives.
  • Verification: Read `test/e2e/support/pr-managed-image-publication.test.ts` and confirm it invokes `resolvePrManagedImageCatalog` for both applicability branches.
  • Test coverage: Exercise `resolvePrManagedImageCatalog` with a mocked request function. Assert no workflow-run or artifact request occurs for an unchanged path. Assert the managed path writes the exact catalog only after all expected requests succeed.
  • Simplification (shrink): Remove Separate helper-only assertions that duplicate the resolver request-path checks.; use Use two resolver-level mocked-request tests that also assert the existing helper outcomes.. Net: 0 lines.
  • Keep: Retain unit coverage for artifact identity and contract validation because those checks enforce the trust boundary.
  • Evidence: `tools/e2e/pr-managed-image-publication.mts:300-379` implements the applicability branch and ordered GitHub request sequence. `test/e2e/support/pr-managed-image-publication.test.ts` imports and tests helper functions but has no invocation of `resolvePrManagedImageCatalog`.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Why this blocks

The exact managed-image catalog contract now has two owners.

tools/e2e/pr-managed-image-publication.mts:183-213 validates contracts through parseManagedImageContractV1 and derives the required agent set from SHIPPED_MANAGED_IMAGE_AGENTS. .github/workflows/managed-images.yaml:982-998 independently rebuilds that contract in jq with a literal count, literal agent list, revision, cohort, and platform. The workflow then repeats the revision check at lines 1040-1044.

These implementations can drift when an agent or contract field changes. The drift is already visible in the hard-coded “three contracts” assumptions beside the otherwise dynamic TypeScript owner.

Refactor direction

Expose one small catalog-assembly command or shared library around assembleManagedImageCatalog, accepting the contract paths, expected revision, and output path. Invoke it from both workflow paths and leave YAML responsible only for artifact plumbing.

Remove the duplicate jq predicate and redundant revision-only recheck once the shared assembler guarantees the output.

Expected result

One all-agent publication contract, fewer workflow lines, and no second literal agent/cohort schema to keep synchronized.

Addressed the LOC/simplicity blocking review in 7e73f324bf9a6c3fdbe822daf3e67220dbf8b107: both managed activation and the two-pass MCP acceptance now invoke the shared assembleManagedImageCatalog owner through one CLI command. The duplicate jq schemas and redundant revision recheck are removed; contract-count diagnostics derive from SHIPPED_MANAGED_IMAGE_AGENTS.length; and workflow/unit/growth coverage passed locally.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Resolved at 7e73f324bf9a6c3fdbe822daf3e67220dbf8b107.

assembleManagedImageCatalog is now the single owner of the exact all-agent publication contract: it derives the required agents dynamically and validates the candidate revision, release, platform, and publication cohort. Both workflow paths invoke its shared assemble command.

The duplicated jq schemas, hard-coded three-contract assumptions, and later revision-only recheck are gone. Runtime catalog validation remains at the consumer trust boundary, while durable rebuild identity continues to come from receipt.sourceRevision.

No further LOC reduction or source-of-truth change is requested in this review scope.

@coderabbitai The outside-diff cloudflared URL finding is not actionable for this PR. This job intentionally matches the repository-approved official Cloudflare release pin already used in .github/workflows/e2e.yaml (three call sites) and .github/workflows/e2e-standard-profile.yaml, with the same exact version, SHA-256 verification, and Debian package name/version/architecture checks; tools/e2e/mcp-workflow-boundary.mts and tools/e2e/standard-profile-workflow-boundary.mts explicitly enforce that source. Replacing only this acceptance job with a different distribution channel would break trusted-workflow parity and expand #8746 into unrelated dependency-distribution infrastructure. Please mark this outside-diff finding resolved.

@ericksoa, confirmed. The acceptance job matches the existing reviewed cloudflared release source and validation controls.

The job uses the same version, SHA-256 value, URL, checksum verification, and Debian package metadata checks as the established E2E workflows. The MCP and standard-profile boundary checks enforce this exact source and reject mutable package repositories.

I found no active GitHub review thread for this finding to resolve. The finding is withdrawn.
