Outcome

Public NemoClaw documentation no longer presents the hidden experimental profile as a supported user surface. The documentation exclusion contract now prevents future authoring workflows from reintroducing the feature name, selector, environment variables, or state paths.

Reason

The profile is intentionally undocumented and outside the supported public interface. Existing guides, reference pages, troubleshooting procedures, and historical changelogs exposed internal behavior and led readers to infer a broader support contract.

Related issues

Refs #11892.

Changes

  • Add the hidden profile and its public identifiers to docs/.docs-skip.
  • Remove the hidden-profile reference from ci/platform-matrix.json, the source for the generated platform-support table.
  • Remove the existing setup, lifecycle, recovery, uninstall, platform, security, and troubleshooting guidance for the hidden profile.
  • Retire the test that extracted and executed the removed public CPU-delegation procedure, while leaving runtime coverage unchanged.
  • Remove corresponding historical changelog references while preserving unrelated release notes.
  • Rewrite incidental uses of the same word so published sources and generated variants have zero residual matches.

Verification

  • npm run docs — passed; guarded routes passed and Fern reported 0 errors.
  • npx vitest run --project integration test/repository/cli-coverage-sequencer.test.ts — 13 tests passed after removing the obsolete timing hint.
  • npm run checks:repository — all 19 repository checks passed.
  • Published-source scan across docs, README.md, and fern — no residual feature-name, selector, or platform-name matches outside docs/.docs-skip.
  • Generated docs/_build scan — no residual feature-name, selector, or platform-name matches.
  • Normal commit and pre-push hooks — passed repository checks, environment-variable documentation checks, secret scanning, growth checks, CLI build, and all TypeScript checks.
  • The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

remove both duplicated sentence openings, fix the container-stop sentence and
subject-verb agreement for keep-openshell, capitalize the sentence starts near
the sandbox and gateway sections, and revise the provider-registration sentence
so removal occurs after the last sibling gateway regardless of management mode

## Outcome

Initial cleanup in Pi qualification, agent-turn latency, and
sessions/agents CLI E2E checks the named OpenShell gateway before
deleting a sandbox. A verified absent registration lets onboarding
proceed. Failed or ambiguous observations and terminal cleanup failures
remain errors.

## Reason

Main E2E run 35087621077 failed these jobs before onboarding because a
fresh runner had no `nemoclaw` gateway. The fixtures handled an absent
sandbox but not an absent gateway.

## Changes

- Add a shared gateway observation to `SandboxClient`. It accepts only
complete, ordered missing-registration guidance from the pinned
gateway-info command.
- Use that observation in the three initial cleanup paths. Preserve
strict terminal cleanup and forward cleanup.
- Resolve the latency cleanup gateway once, so inspection and
registration removal use the same name when `OPENSHELL_GATEWAY`
overrides it.
- Cover malformed, incomplete, repeated, reordered, failed, timed-out,
and signaled observations; gateway overrides; and cleanup ordering.
- Map Pi qualification to the shared cleanup-client regression suite.

## Verification

Candidate: `fcef6f7b17abdf8b18c5fe178975accd7f4ab43e`. Integrated
trusted main: `8657616c8171de9371f80c6c1cdaf93f54dffb09`.

- 196 focused tests passed across `e2e-clients`,
`agent-turn-latency-progress`, and `agent-variant-docs`. Command:
`node_modules/.bin/vitest run --project e2e-support --project
integration test/e2e/support/e2e-clients.test.ts
test/e2e/support/agent-turn-latency-progress.test.ts
test/generation/agent-variant-docs.test.ts --testTimeout 120000`. The
explicit timeout accommodates cold imports.
- Normal commit hooks passed, including formatting, lint, repository
checks, E2E phases, source-shape and growth budgets, secret scanning,
and commitlint.
- The former shard 4 and 12 documentation failures were inherited.
Merged repairs #11908 and #11926 are integrated; the retained
documentation test passes.
- The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

Normal pre-push publication validation and JavaScript/CLI type-checks
passed with `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192`. GitHub verified
every PR commit. Latest-commit CI and selected trusted E2E results are
being collected; those gates remain pending.

## Review notes

Alternative review completed for the candidate above. Both CodeRabbit
findings and the matching maintainer change request were repaired with
protecting tests. The full seven-file diff was reviewed for correctness,
gateway identity, absence classification, error propagation, cleanup
ordering, and coverage.

The local Docker Advisor used trusted main, pinned OpenShell 0.0.116,
Landlock, and an isolated controller. It failed before its first
specialist: the pinned Pi image pull reported `no space left on device`
in the shared VM. No specialist completed. The task sandbox, gateway,
controller, and failed cache were cleaned up without stopping other
tasks. This is self-review supplemented by the existing CodeRabbit and
human findings, not Advisor clearance or independent review.

Selected E2E: `cloud-onboard`, `cloud-inference`, `security-posture`,
`pi-agent-qualification`, `agent-turn-latency`, and
`sessions-agents-cli`.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved sandbox cleanup reliability by verifying the configured
gateway before attempting deletion.
- Missing gateways are handled safely, while malformed, unexpected,
timed-out, or failed checks are surfaced.
- Sandbox destruction continues even when gateway cleanup cannot
proceed.
  - Standardized pre-onboarding cleanup across end-to-end workflows.
- Cleanup now respects configured gateway names and verifies cleanup
ordering.

- **Tests**
- Expanded coverage for gateway detection, custom gateway names, cleanup
ordering, timeout behavior, failure handling, and deletion errors.

## Outcome

OpenShell inference route reads now flow through one typed observer for
the accepted first slice of #9809. Existing gateway targeting, native
lifecycle behavior, list/status redaction, and external command behavior
remain unchanged.

## Reason

Inference consumers independently constructed `openshell inference get`
commands and interpreted raw CLI results. Centralizing the read boundary
gives each consumer the same scoped, typed, and redacted observation
without changing mutation or recovery behavior.

### Related issues

Refs #9809

## Changes

- Add typed configured and unconfigured observations plus distinct
validation, authentication, timeout, schema, transport, and command
failures.
- Keep named-gateway scoping, bounded capture, control-sequence cleanup,
endpoint-override refusal, and the base gateway's legacy output
compatibility inside the OpenShell adapter.
- Migrate the accepted CLI, onboarding, connect, readiness, doctor,
inventory, status, and config-export readers to typed results.
- Remove the superseded production reader and protect the boundary with
adapter and consumer tests.

Route mutation and rollback (#11738), plugin transport (#9813),
generated gRPC transport (#9828), credentials, provider or gateway
lifecycle changes, new routing semantics, status lifecycle suppression,
and live E2E remain excluded.

## Verification

- `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run typecheck:cli` —
passed.
- `npm run checks:repository` — all 19 repository checks passed with no
architecture cycles.
- Focused CLI unit selection — 16 files and 377 tests passed, covering
the adapter and migrated source consumers.
- Focused integration selection — 8 files and 157 tests passed; the
status JSON integration suite passed 21/21.
- `npm run test:changed` — 3,182 tests passed. The route-observation
acceptance set is complete with no candidate-owned failure. Two
process-heavy suites were classified environmental after focused replay;
`snapshot-auto-create-failure` passed 4/4 unchanged and
`runtime-provider-contract` passed 75/75 with a 15-second local
diagnostic timeout.
- The remaining launch group was classified inherited: 18 cases fail
with the same sandbox-replacement journaling error on this candidate and
on exact base `3c6591ddba4a321ab8e6b766203e44d6e3b8002e`; this PR
changes none of the three owning launch/probe files.
- Commit hooks passed, including repository structure, formatting, lint,
tests selected by the commit, DCO, and secret checks.
- The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials.

No live E2E is required because the accepted behavior is fully
observable at deterministic adapter and consumer boundaries and does not
mutate external state.

## Review notes

Sensitive inference and onboarding paths are changed. Pre-publication
review covered exact gateway targeting, refusal of endpoint overrides,
bounded capture, typed failure separation, redaction, current lifecycle
ownership, and the criterion-to-evidence ledger. The refreshed head
still requires exact-head CodeRabbit, PR Review Advisor, CI, and human
approval before merge.

The current-main refresh incorporates related lifecycle and
test-contract changes from #11741, #11776, #11792, #11821, #11829,
#11865, #11889, #11891, #11908, and #11913 without expanding this PR's
behavior.

#9809 (comment)
