📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR adds a persisted sandbox policy-authority concept (NemoClaw-managed or externally-managed). It threads authority inspection, recording, and mutation refusal through the OpenShell adapter, the policy engine, registry/session state, the blueprint runner, MCP bridge lifecycle, sandbox snapshot/rebuild/channel flows, Shields, onboarding, and messaging/inference credential handling, plus extensive tests. ChangesSandbox Policy Authority Enforcement
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~180 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to This change makes externally managed sandboxes verification-only and persists policy authority, but the current implementation still has fail-open and partial-mutation paths that can leave credentials, resources, protections, policy attribution, or recovery state inconsistent after authority refusal or failure. The PR is not safe to merge until these issues are fixed or explicitly accepted and the applicable broad validation gate is completed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Maintainer Scope GateStatus: deferred pending a supported-capability decision. Issue #9833 describes the desired behavior, but it has no acceptance label, maintainer decision, or design record. This PR would make externally managed OpenShell policy a supported NemoClaw lifecycle mode across onboarding, rebuild, restore, messaging, MCP, Shields, and blueprint policy changes. Before implementation or approval continues, a maintainer decision must define:
The change is also large: 17,363 added lines and 2,143 removed lines across 240 files. The current revision is not technically merge-ready either: two unresolved code-scanning threads remain, multiple CI test shards failed, self-hosted E2E failed, and both managed OpenClaw MCP discovery passes failed. I am deferring technical remediation until the product-scope decision is recorded so fixes do not cement an unapproved contract. |

applyPermissivePolicyfails silently when authority changes after the policy set.
applyPermissivePolicyreturnsvoidand signals every other refusal by throwing: line 3217 for an invalid name, line 3225 for external authority, and line 3229 for a missing policy file.setPolicyDocumentat line 3235 runs withoutnonFatal, so it exits the process on submission failure.Line 3236 breaks that contract. When the recheck detects an authority change, the function prints an error and returns normally. A caller cannot distinguish that refusal from success, so it continues as if the permissive policy were applied and confirmed. This is the one fail-open path in a fail-closed function.
Throw instead, so the refusal propagates like the pre-set refusal at line 3225.

1097-1107: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winThe
finallyvalidation can replace the operation's own error, and the catch-block re-validation breaks the documented best-effort contract.Two defects come from this helper.
First, error masking. When
operation()throws and thefinallyvalidation also rejects, the rejection fromvalidatePolicyAuthority()replaces the original error. The caller then reports an authority problem for what was really a gateway policy failure. Example: at Line 1280policies.removePresetthrows "gateway unreachable", thefinallyvalidation rejects, and the message pushed at Line 1288 describes the authority instead of the removal.Second, a contract break. Lines 1275-1278 state that post-restore reconciliation is best-effort and that a failed gateway policy mutation must be reported as a warning, not terminate the restore. The catch blocks at Lines 1286, 1300, 1351, and 1380 now
await validatePolicyAuthority()inside the handler. If that call rejects, it throws out of thecatchand terminates the restore after the filesystem restore already succeeded. Thefinallyin this helper has also already validated at that point, so each of those calls is a third consecutive validation.Preserve the operation error, and drop the redundant validation from the reconciliation catch blocks.
🐛 Proposed fix for the root cause
async function runSnapshotPolicyAuthorityBoundOperation<T>( validatePolicyAuthority: () => Promise<void>, operation: () => T, ): Promise<T> { await validatePolicyAuthority(); - try { - return operation(); - } finally { - await validatePolicyAuthority(); - } + const result = operation(); + await validatePolicyAuthority(); + return result; }
operation()throwing already means no mutation was published, so the post-operation fence adds nothing on that path. Each caller keeps its owncatchfor the best-effort warning, and no longer needs to re-validate there:} catch (err) { - await validatePolicyAuthority(); const message = err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err); failed.push(`${preset} (remove: ${message})`); }🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Product Scope Gate is not satisfied. Issue #9833 does not record acceptance of this supported external-policy lifecycle surface; the maintainer note on this PR explicitly leaves ownership, authority signal, lifecycle/failure/compatibility, security review, validation matrix, and documentation undecided. Record that decision before approval.
There is also a concrete compatibility defect: sandbox policy authority treats every nonzero query and empty successful sandbox output as inspection failure, while the global path maps empty output to NemoClaw-managed. Ordinary create/reuse can validly have no sandbox policy and is now refused. Use a stable machine-readable OpenShell no-policy result, classify only that result as NemoClaw-managed, keep malformed/ambiguous failures closed, and add boundary tests for successful empty/no-policy and genuine query failures.
Current CI is broadly red across CLI shards, sandbox and GPU E2E, all-agent activation, and both protected MCP passes. Three review threads also remain unresolved.

Additional high-severity lifecycle blockers: authority drift can leave partial mutations without recovery. MCP destroy rethrows authority refusal before compensating completed adapter/provider teardown. Channel removal uses external-policy refusal before stopping NemoClaw-owned tunnels and revoking credentials/providers, so external policy can block security teardown it does not own. Revalidation inside per-provider detach/delete loops can exit after partial teardown without a pending transaction or rollback. Blueprint runtime identity similarly rethrows authority refusal before compensating an attached runtime provider.
External authority must gate only policy mutation. Preserve NemoClaw-owned credential, tunnel, provider, and durable-state teardown; persist teardown-pending intent or compensate completed effects before propagating drift. Add drift-after-first-mutation and drift-after-runtime-attach tests. The blueprint inspector also needs the stable machine-readable no-global-policy classification described in the earlier review.

Inline comments:
In `@nemoclaw/src/blueprint/runner.ts`:
- Around line 1983-1986: Wrap the receipt-clearing persistRunPlan() call in the
cleanup path around inferenceRouteRecoveryReceipt with its own try/catch,
matching the existing handler near the adjacent persist call. On failure, append
the cleanup error details to cleanupFailures and allow subsequent sandbox and
inference-provider cleanup to continue.
- Around line 461-466: Update the inference-route setup and its
intendedReplacement expectation to pass the configured timeout explicitly as 180
seconds, rather than relying on OpenShell’s 60-second default; preserve
options.timeoutSeconds when provided and use
DEFAULT_INFERENCE_ROUTE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS as the fallback.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-add-restart.ts`:
- Around line 580-585: Update the rollback refusal handling in the branch
guarded by rollbackAuthorityRefusal so the new McpPolicyAuthorityRefusalError
preserves the original McpBridgeError exitCode and reasonCode, or retains the
original error as its cause for downstream classification. Keep the existing
combined message and direct rethrow of McpPolicyAuthorityRefusalError unchanged.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-destroy.ts`:
- Around line 321-332: Update restoreMcpBridgesAfterDestroyAbort around
assertMcpDestroySnapshotCurrent so that, when the snapshot assertion fails and
authorityRefusal was captured, both the snapshot failure and policy-authority
refusal are combined before rethrowing; preserve the existing behavior when no
refusal was captured and follow the later catch block’s established combination
pattern.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-policy-authority.test.ts`:
- Around line 676-685: Strengthen the negative policy-mutation assertions in
both teardown tests: in
src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-policy-authority.test.ts:676-685, match a
stable remove-operation signal or reuse the source module’s expected label; in
src/lib/actions/sandbox/policy-authority/mcp-teardown.test.ts:252-279, update
the policy module mock to record “policy:restore” and “policy:remove” in
harness.actions so the not.toContain assertions observe real mutations.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-restart.ts`:
- Around line 243-265: Update the teardown-rollback path in the restore flow to
retain the managed MCP policy data and authority needed by
assertGeneratedPolicyMutationSafe and both applyGeneratedPolicy calls, rather
than leaving policyAuthority undefined. Reapply the generated policy after the
bridge is reattached and before reporting rollback success, while preserving the
existing policy receipt validation for non-rollback restores.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/policy-channel-remove-flow.test.ts`:
- Around line 280-293: Update both removal tests in
src/lib/actions/sandbox/policy-channel-remove-flow.test.ts: lines 280-293 should
remove the unreachable preflightSandboxPolicyAuthority throw stub while
retaining the not.toHaveBeenCalled assertion; lines 216-246 should rename the
test to describe external preset-removal refusal, or change registry.getSandbox
between detach and removePreset so the authority-change scenario is real.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-preflight-phase.ts`:
- Around line 233-249: After qualifyRebuildPolicyAuthority completes, normalize
expectedSandboxEntry with the same policyAuthority and empty policies
attribution that persistence applies for externally-managed legacy entries
before assertRebuildEntryUnchanged compares them. Use the existing canonical
registry-data comparison or shared normalization logic, while preserving
unchanged behavior for entries that already contain policyAuthority or policies.
In `@src/lib/onboard/gateway-teardown-authority.ts`:
- Around line 84-106: Update the GatewayAuthorityError refusal messages in the
persisted session parsing flow, including the unreadable/invalid JSON, corrupt
session, unsupported future checkpoint schema, and corrupt checkpoint branches,
to append clear recovery guidance that a fresh onboarding run is required. Keep
the existing failure causes and the behavior of the ENOENT, loaded, none, and
legacy paths unchanged.
In `@src/lib/onboard/inference-providers/routed-selection.ts`:
- Around line 17-19: Update rewriteExactLoopbackEndpoint to catch URL parsing
failures from new URL(endpointUrl) and return the original endpointUrl when
parsing fails, allowing existing endpoint validation to report the invalid
value.
In `@src/lib/onboard/machine/handlers/sandbox-create-intent-boundary.test.ts`:
- Around line 199-219: Update the test fixture around createSession so
session.policyPresets is assigned the stale ["github"] value after construction,
while retaining policyAuthority as externally-managed. Keep the existing
handleSandboxState invocation and create-intent assertions unchanged, ensuring
the final null assertion verifies that the handler clears the stale presets.
In `@src/lib/state/registry.ts`:
- Line 457: Update updateSandbox so externally managed sandbox entries cannot
receive policy-attribution fields through updates; reject them or normalize
policies, policy tier, baseline exclusions, transition state, and
finalized-policy state to the canonical empty values. Preserve the
external-authority invariant and add a regression test exercising updateSandbox
with attempted attribution updates.
- Line 456: Apply the same externally-managed policy normalization used by
registerSandbox in both updateSandbox and restoreSandboxEntry, clearing local
policies whenever the effective policy authority is externally managed before
persistence. Add focused tests covering policy-only updates and restoring
captured externally managed entries, ensuring neither retains local preset
attribution.

Outside diff comments:
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-remove.ts`:
- Around line 427-445: In the forced-cleanup result handling, check and throw
policyAuthorityRefusal before honoring options.allowResidual and returning
"residualPreserved". Keep residual warning logging and manifest preservation
intact, while allowing the residual return only when no policy-authority refusal
exists.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/policy-channel.ts`:
- Around line 1461-1501: Update the in-sandbox-QR add flow around the branch
containing applyChannelPresetIfAvailable and applyChannelAddToGatewayAndRegistry
to resolve the ChannelDef before branching and create the same rollback snapshot
used by rollbackAdd. Replace post-mutation preflightChannelPolicyAuthority calls
with revalidateChannelPolicyAuthority inside an error handler that invokes
rollbackAdd before exiting, preserving rollback for failures during plan
persistence, rebuild, and health-check stages.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-destroy-phase.ts`:
- Around line 606-612: Wrap the validateAfterDeleteConfirmation call in the same
throw-handling pattern used by the sibling validation hooks: catch rejections,
redact the error detail with redactFull, log the failure, and convert it to a
failed validation result so the existing bail path runs. Preserve the subsequent
cleanup flow, including recreateJournal.confirmDeleted(), stopNimBestEffort(),
and onDeleted(), and use the established onDeleteStateAmbiguous signal for this
post-deletion failure if required by the surrounding hook patterns.
In `@src/lib/onboard/machine/handlers/sandbox.ts`:
- Around line 498-514: The authority guard in
rebuildPolicyPresetsForCreateIntent must allow carry-forward only when
session.policyAuthority is "nemoclaw-managed"; return an empty object for
absent, null, or any other authority value. Preserve the existing journaledValue
and selectedValue handling for eligible sessions.
In `@src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create/orchestration.ts`:
- Around line 117-126: Update runSandboxCreateWithPolicyAuthorityChecks to
compensate when the post-create input.revalidate(true, ...) throws: run the
source cleanup and remove the created sandbox before rethrowing the original
refusal, matching the existing compensation pattern in the dashboard flow.
Ensure cleanup is attempted before propagating the error.

Nitpick comments:
In `@nemoclaw/src/blueprint/runner-test-fixtures.ts`:
- Around line 139-146: The fixture’s default timeout in the active configuration
must stay synchronized with production. Export
DEFAULT_INFERENCE_ROUTE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS from runner.ts and import and use it in
the timeout fallback within the argument parsing setup, replacing the hardcoded
180.
In `@nemoclaw/src/blueprint/runner.test.ts`:
- Around line 722-733: Remove the exact policy-inspection count assertions in
nemoclaw/src/blueprint/runner.test.ts lines 722-733, including total, --global,
and test-sandbox counts; retain the --output check and no policy set assertion.
In nemoclaw/src/blueprint/runner-openshell-072-policy.test.ts lines 1396-1399,
remove the sandboxInspections toHaveLength assertion while retaining the counter
and behavioral refusal, policySetCalls, and compensation-order assertions.
In `@nemoclaw/src/blueprint/runner.ts`:
- Around line 1041-1067: Update runBlueprintPolicyAuthorityCommand to include
bounded, redacted failure details in BlueprintPolicyAuthorityRefusalError
messages for both the runCmd catch path and the nonzero-exit or
oversized-response path. Reuse boundedCommandError for the caught error and
relevant command result details, while preserving the existing refusal behavior
and policy-stop wording.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/mcp-bridge-rebuild.ts`:
- Around line 204-257: Extract the duplicated teardown compensation logic from
the catch blocks in the rebuild and destroy flows into a shared helper, such as
the adapter-teardown module. Have the helper accept the sandbox context,
snapshot entries, scrubbed adapters, removed-policy and provider-detach state,
the original error, and an operation label, while preserving snapshot
validation, runtime restoration, fallback gating, and operation-specific error
wrapping. Replace both catch-block implementations with calls to this helper so
future compensation changes remain synchronized.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/policy-authority/rebuild.test.ts`:
- Around line 11-13: Update the vi.mock factory for mcp-bridge-provider to
preserve all real module exports and override only preflightMcpEntryTargets with
the test mock, ensuring resolveManagedMcpPolicyRequirementContents still
executes its per-bridge validations.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-destroy-phase.ts`:
- Around line 452-527: Extract the duplicated delete-commit validation logic
into a local async helper, such as runDeleteCommitValidation, preserving its
existing error logging, MCP recovery, shield relocking, and bail behavior. Call
the helper both before and after recreateJournal.markDeleting(), returning null
when it reports validation failure.
In `@src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create/orchestration.ts`:
- Around line 620-644: Update revalidatePolicyAuthority to re-read the current
persisted sandbox registry/session authority before each qualification, rather
than reusing the captured existingEntry and sessionPolicyAuthority values. Match
revalidateRebuildPolicyAuthority’s missing-or-changed authority validation while
preserving assertCreatePolicyAuthorityUnchanged for detecting changes from the
initially resolved authority.
In `@src/lib/onboard/sandbox-recreate-probe.ts`:
- Around line 73-94: Extract the duplicated OpenShell probe execution and
classification from observeSandboxPresenceOnGateway and observeSandboxOnGateway
into one private helper. Have both public functions reuse the helper’s shared
captureOpenshell arguments, stdout/combined derivation, and failedCleanly
calculation, while preserving each function’s existing result behavior and
exposing status if needed for the exact present check.

Summary
NemoClaw now reads and persists OpenShell policy authority before policy-dependent effects. Externally managed sandboxes use verification-only policy flows, while NemoClaw-managed sandboxes keep existing mutation behavior.
Related Issue
Closes #9833
Changes
policyAuthorityreceipt for the sandbox registry, onboarding, and recovery. Later processes must reject authority changes, so a direct live-policy check is not sufficient.
