Reviewed commit be4a104e105f2d20cca2dc0eb49502ba72090af9. Approving with one nonblocking P2 finding recorded inline. The default-context failure refuses recovery and preserves metadata and runtime resources. Users can retry without exported Docker selectors when their active context is already the default. I found no blocking security issue in the ownership, absence, locking, or metadata retirement checks.
Validation: 57 focused destroy/gateway and new routing tests passed. Another 26 recovery tests passed with Linux platform detection stubbed. Four recovery tests could not complete on macOS because they require Linux process identity. A review-only regression reproduced the P2 refusal. Native Linux execution and live E2E validation remain unverified locally.
Required CI still controls merge. At posting, static-checks had timed out, managed runtime activation had failed, and rootless Podman activation was still running. This approval does not establish merge readiness.

[P2, nonblocking] Accept the normalized default Docker endpoint
When DOCKER_CONTEXT=default is exported, runner.ts resolves it to DOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/docker.sock and removes DOCKER_CONTEXT. dockerContextIsDefaultFromBuild rejects every nonempty DOCKER_HOST. This gate therefore refuses eligible recovery on the default daemon and leaves the sandbox name blocked.
I reproduced the runner normalization with a local Docker fixture and the refusal through the recovery helper using real metadata writers. The failure preserves state and removes no resources. Retrying without exported Docker selectors works when the active context is already the default.
Qualify the normalized endpoint against the native gateway's default-daemon authority while continuing to reject alternate targets. Add a regression that includes runner initialization; the current recovery tests mock this predicate to return true.

@sandl99 Thanks, fixed in 055660544f: retained recovery now accepts the normalized default Docker endpoint while still rejecting alternate daemons. Updated the existing tests to exercise real runner normalization; all 30 pass locally, with no additional test cases.
Allow retained recovery after the runner resolves the default Docker context to its Unix endpoint. Keep alternate daemons blocked. Exercise runner initialization and the real guard in existing recovery tests without increasing the test count. Signed-off-by: Hung Le <hple@nvidia.com>

## Outcome After onboarding is cancelled at Policy presets, `nemoclaw <name> destroy --yes` can delete the retained sandbox when its live OpenShell identity matches the recovery record. Missing identity, uncertain presence, and observed identity drift block deletion and preserve recovery state. The retained-recovery `--force` fallback remains a separate review finding described below. ## Reason The previous guard refused every live retained sandbox, including a verified matching sandbox. Existing tests required that refusal, so interrupted onboarding could leave users unable to complete cleanup or onboard again. ### Related issues Refs #10863. PR #12839 covers identity-free recovery after verified absence; it retains the live-sandbox refusal addressed here. ## Changes - Replace the blanket refusal with a guard for missing identity or uncertain presence. - Reuse the existing OpenShell identity inspection at destroy checkpoints for retained recovery as well as pending creation. - Remove obsolete cancellation guidance and place the supported destroy command before recovery diagnostics. - Update existing success expectations and cover replacement identity, uncertainty, final-check identity drift, and failed deletion. - Correct `src/lib/onboard/lifecycle-contracts.md` to describe verified live retained-sandbox deletion and the non-atomic name-delete limitation. Production code has 9 fewer lines. No new cleanup abstraction, command, dependency, or OpenShell API is introduced. ## Verification - Documentation follow-up `bd0b14625e9085490bbe1ffdadeef61526ec2e9e`: `npm run docs` passed with zero errors and two Fern warnings. Normal commit hooks, including Markdown lint, passed. Only the retained-recovery description at line 128 changed; table structure is preserved. No new runtime test applies to this prose-only follow-up. - Baseline retained-recovery and cancellation tests: 40 passed. The revised success cases failed before the fix. - `NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=8192 npm run test:changed` — 191 affected tests passed across 10 files; all 7 growth checks passed. - `vitest run --project integration test/onboarding/onboard-fresh-create-identity.test.ts -t 'makes a '` — all 3 cancellation integration cases passed, including retained identity, recovery state, and reentry assertions. - Normal commit hooks — passed, including formatting, lint, repository checks, growth checks, secret scan, and commitlint. - Normal pre-push validation — passed, including publication checks and CLI, plugin, and JS configuration type checks. - GitHub commit verification — all three published commits Verified (`3ba4ed0963e885dc3b4bf003a98c49a9adbdb1d3`, `609d76f21894ee5b7f77565aa9012b0114c0895a`, `bd0b14625e9085490bbe1ffdadeef61526ec2e9e`). - Live interrupted-onboarding reproduction remains outstanding because Docker is unavailable on the contributor host. Managed startup CI does not cover that reproduction. - Diff reviewed: no secrets, API keys, credentials, or host-specific reproduction identifiers. ## Review notes Self-review of NVIDIA/NemoClaw commit `609d76f21894ee5b7f77565aa9012b0114c0895a` covered the destroy coordinator, execution identity checks, cancellation guidance, and changed tests. The sensitive path is `src/lib/onboard/cancel-rollback.ts`. Independent reviews of that production/test commit are available from [Advisor](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/37916599523), CodeRabbit, and [the human review comment](#12893 (comment)). The documentation follow-up changes no runtime code. This restores ordinary explicit-destroy semantics. OpenShell still deletes by mutable name: a different OpenShell client can replace the sandbox after the final identity check. This change does not provide an atomic identity precondition; NVIDIA/OpenShell#3210 tracks that upstream capability. The maintainer [accepted the remaining concurrency risk](#12893 (comment)) under the operating assumption that no independent OpenShell client replaces sandboxes during NemoClaw cleanup. Public documentation remains deferred to Docs / Author Post-Merge Catch-Up. The separate P2 `--force` fallback finding is not waived or repaired by this documentation follow-up. Required merge checks remain separate, and CI for the new documentation commit must be evaluated independently. --- Signed-off-by: San Dang <sdang@nvidia.com> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Retained sandbox cleanup can proceed when the sandbox is confirmed present and its identity can be verified, including when no host container is available. * Destruction is blocked when presence is unknown, identity is unavailable, or identity checks detect a change, helping prevent removal of a replacement sandbox. * Identity is checked again immediately before deletion; failed checks or deletion preserve the recovery record. * Cancellation recovery guidance recommends the destroy command when a durable identity is available. Otherwise, it advises preserving recovery information and checking the owning gateway. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Signed-off-by: San Dang <sdang@nvidia.com>

Approving commit 47b575bfe5b272f8e717a62f3f56641ddbb0a6d9.
I found no blocking security defect in the ownership, absence, locking, CAS, or metadata retirement checks.
One nonblocking P3 remains in src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy.ts:776-783: successful metadata recovery skips its completion telemetry receipt. If reservation removal succeeds but recovery-file retirement fails, telemetry reports unchanged state. Record completion and track actual metadata mutations in a follow-up. Review-only regressions reproduced both outcomes; recovery authority and retry behavior remain intact.
Validation: 76 focused destroy, gateway, and CLI routing tests passed locally. Another 23 recovery tests passed with Linux platform detection stubbed. Four recovery tests require real Linux process identity and could not run locally. CI passed for this commit, and all nine current Advisor findings ledgers are clear. The earlier default-Docker-endpoint and daemon-authority findings are resolved.
Live lifecycle and rebuild execution remains unverified in this review. Repository approval policy does not make live E2E a default merge gate. The eight additional Advisor selectors cite workflow files unchanged between this PR's base and commit under review.

<!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 --> ## Outcome On native Linux with default Docker, failed creates with no sandbox identity can release their local name reservation after confirmed absence, even after a gateway restart or onboarding for another sandbox. New records preserve the authority needed for `destroy --yes`; eligible legacy records with lost authority require explicit `destroy --force` to archive and discard local tracking. Forced discard does not establish original runtime cleanup. ## Reason The recovery path added in #12839 depended on the original session and a gateway marker predating the recovery record. Restarting the gateway or starting another session can remove that evidence while the retained name remains blocked. Shared inference providers alone do not cause this refusal. ### Related issues Fixes #13071. Follows #12839 and #12260. ## Changes - Capture the reservation owner, Docker daemon ID, and gateway state directory before create on a qualified native Linux default-Docker gateway. Preserve them through the failure writer and session reconstruction so recovery can qualify the original create after the session changes. - Store records containing this authority as schema 2 so older CLIs refuse them instead of dropping the evidence. Continue reading schema 1 and preserve authority during legacy port migration. - Use captured authority for metadata retirement while retaining absence checks, locking, revalidation, and reservation compare-and-swap. Explicit `--force` archives eligible local tracking before retirement. Conflicting same-name sessions and sandbox-scoped resource ownership still block retirement; shared providers remain unchanged. - Share the native authority observer through the existing gateway state-ownership module. Destroy imports that owner directly; the create boundary re-exports the same helper for its existing caller. The persisted parser and type remain with the state owner. This dependency cleanup preserves the observer's function body and adds no source file, package dependency, or budget exception. ## Verification - Selected live E2E: [run 38706144876](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38706144876), attempt 2, passed on GitHub-hosted Ubuntu Linux x64 with Docker. Tested commit: `c15e9218bf7ea7b064b6be1755eb4a64bfc10f2e`; PR base and trusted `main` workflow revision: `80491e92e2cda863d6bf42869a8f8a5b0a975628`. Selectors: `onboard-repair,onboard-resume,rebuild-hermes,rebuild-openclaw`. All five executions ran one test and passed, with zero skipped tests, unhandled errors, or recorded cleanup failures. - Selected jobs: [OpenClaw repair](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38706144876/job/116350872294), [OpenClaw resume](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38706144876/job/116350872222), [Hermes resume](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38706144876/job/116350872173), [OpenClaw rebuild](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38706144876/job/116350872243), and [Hermes rebuild](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38706144876/job/116350872184). OpenClaw rebuild also passed its Docker kill/Error-state recovery check with preserved workspace and native-root markers. - Evidence: [dispatch receipt `e2e-dispatch-38706144876-2`](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38706144876/artifacts/11960959475), artifact `11960959475`, ZIP SHA-256 `3712b67cfa7e03d76c43051645ccf37bce11347d90b22f82f913075a953b6a9e`. Correlation: `84539ce4-bd3b-414e-b320-994937d0e79c`. [Aggregate result `review-queue-e2e-result-38706144876-2`](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38706144876/artifacts/11963000897) reports `pass`. The receipt, aggregate, and all five execution manifests, test counts, phase results, and cleanup records were checked against the same source/workflow/run attempt; artifact digests were verified. Attempt 1 stopped before live execution because the candidate image producer was still running. Attempt 2 passed after candidate image publication completed, without a source change. This is focused E2E evidence, not full-suite or all-platform qualification. - Latest local validation: `c15e9218bf7ea7b064b6be1755eb4a64bfc10f2e`, Linux x86_64 / Node.js 22.22.2. The retained-recovery CLI test file and fresh-create integration file passed **65 tests with no skips** using `vitest run --project cli --project integration --maxWorkers 1` with those two file paths. CLI typecheck, scoped formatting/lint, and 13 selected repository checks passed. The committed diff and source hashes match the validated two-file change. Normal commit hooks passed, including growth and source-shape checks. No full local suite was run for this test-only reduction. Current-commit live E2E results are recorded above. - The producer-to-destroy integration case runs real create-authority capture, orchestration, registry, and retained-record persistence. A separate process reloads the record after a simulated gateway restart and session replacement, calls `destroySandbox`, and verifies selected metadata retirement, unrelated-state preservation, and no ordinary resource cleanup. External Docker/OpenShell observations are mocked. The latest commit removes one unit case already covered by that integration case and two lines comparing file bytes around a read-only load. It keeps the fresh-process record comparison, authority/nonce checks, unrelated-state assertions, and cleanup guards; it adds no test cases. - Earlier implementation evidence remains revision-bound: the candidate based on `abf42f10a54617128c1464d33592164356660e43` passed 253 focused CLI tests plus native CLI/plugin builds and type checks. Current focused local validation supplements those checks without rerunning the full local suite. - Live evidence: Linux x86_64, Docker 29.2.1, OpenShell 0.0.116, Ollama 0.32.9 / `qwen3.5:9b`, sandbox GPU disabled. A control using an earlier candidate before schema fencing onboarded without fault injection. Fault runs killed their dedicated gateway after a real Docker create. After native runtime removal, new-authority recovery passed `--yes`; a stock v0.0.133 schema-1 record refused `--yes` and passed explicit `--force`. Both names then onboarded with new identities. Presence and wrong-endpoint cases refused retirement; shared providers and unrelated state remained unchanged. Recovery records came from the real failure path. - Those live recovery consumers used v0.0.133 (`ef5d55d19e2da33c2474db158588613828e1a9be`) plus patch SHA-256 `7fb0da1fb249dbff9a2452c501f323f3619ccc7264acecb07c8efbc7336dae82`. The first observer relocation, before commit `a43a46a5b2b8e174c2a40f257a13ce498713c893`, passed build, focused tests, and a compiled read-only daemon probe. That probe does not qualify the current relocation. The current relocation has the local validation and selected live E2E above. The original identity-free create-failure timing was not rerun on this commit, and no new agent tool-call result is claimed. Original logs, manifests, snapshots, and the legacy archive remain available locally. ## Review notes Publication commit: `c15e9218bf7ea7b064b6be1755eb4a64bfc10f2e`; PR base: `80491e92e2cda863d6bf42869a8f8a5b0a975628`. [CI run 38703642625](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38703642625) passed on publication commit `c15e9218bf7ea7b064b6be1755eb4a64bfc10f2e` against base `80491e92e2cda863d6bf42869a8f8a5b0a975628`. The earlier [CodeRabbit review](#13170 (comment)) reviewed `b5124a72d911ed3a49234cb900d63895ab302a17` against the recorded base and generated no actionable comments. Its 26.32% docstring-coverage result is a separate advisory warning; no docstrings were added solely to satisfy that metric. That CodeRabbit result predates the test reduction and does not establish the current automated-review disposition. [Advisor run 38689464981](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38689464981) completed all nine specialists on `b5124a72` against the recorded base: eight clear, including Architecture and Verification, with one repeated archive-retention P1 (`F-operability-recovery-7cecf90ed7d07a2f09a5`). The gate failed on that finding; there was no missing specialist analysis. The test reduction does not resolve that gate. The archive writer is unchanged from the commit San reviewed. Resolution of the Advisor blocker gate remains a separate repository review-process requirement. [San's review](#13170 (comment)) found no confirmed code defect in `0c0bdb868bf002bbd475d4678107f9a424375bb6` against `e7840acd43451ae79191854aacafdf9e206983ed`. His macOS / Node.js 25.9.0 validation passed 98 focused tests and skipped 39 Linux-only recovery tests. His assessment remains bound to that revision and does not approve the publication commit. [San's follow-up on `b5124a72`](#13170 (comment)) requests latest-commit live E2E evidence and resolution of the separate Advisor blocker gate before approval. The selected E2E requirement is now supported on `c15e9218` by attempt 2 and the evidence linked above. San reiterates that the stated retention P1 is unsubstantiated and needs a separate policy; he does not request automatic archive pruning. His assessment remains recorded here. This E2E update does not claim that the Advisor gate is cleared or that maintainer approval has been granted. The author's retained-state choices remain: - Keep private archives after forced local discard while original-runtime cleanup is unverified. A retry reuses the same record's archive; distinct discarded records can accumulate. Automatic pruning needs a separate retention policy and removal conditions. - Keep the existing ownership checks without refusing solely because `credentialEnvironmentVariables` is nonempty. That list contains configured names/references; staged sandbox-provider receipts are recorded separately and block retirement. Forced discard archives the original record and reservation. This does not establish cleanup of every credential-bearing resource or of the original daemon. San's source assessment supports treating the archive-retention and credential-reference P1 claims as unsubstantiated as stated; it also confirms the earlier same-name-session guard and regression case. His comment contains the source references. These choices do not assert maintainer approval of the publication commit. Scope remains identity-free local recovery on native Linux default Docker. Cross-root work (#12520/#12452), inference failures addressed by #12826, runtime deletion without an identity, and support for other runtime providers remain outside this PR. Forced local discard cannot reconstruct lost historical ownership or prove absence from the original daemon. --- Signed-off-by: Hung Le <hple@nvidia.com> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **Bug Fixes** * Improved recovery for Linux systems using default Docker when a sandbox identity is unavailable.

Outcome
Fixes #12260. After a failed onboarding leaves identity-free retained recovery,
nemoclaw <name> destroy --yescan release the name once the owning gateway and Docker confirm resource absence. The selected state root must match the failed attempt:The operation retires local metadata only. Ownership conflicts or uncertain absence keep recovery blocked. A retry remains reachable after the reservation was removed but recovery-file retirement failed.
Reason
When OpenShell cannot return a durable sandbox identity, failed onboarding can reserve the name even after the owning runtime confirms absence. Recovery needs a guarded metadata-only path and a reachable retry after a partial local write.
Changes
This PR covers selected-root recovery on native Linux with the default Docker daemon. It requires one null-fingerprint record, an owned default-Docker runtime marker older than that record, and a matching session when a reservation exists. The owning gateway and Docker must confirm no remaining sandbox, matching containers or managed volumes. Recorded sandbox-scoped providers or additional resource ownership in the reservation block recovery. The lifecycle owner holds the onboarding lock, rechecks authority, retires legacy Shields state before registry metadata, and retires the recovery record last. CLI admission does not authorize resource deletion.
Automatic cross-root routing, stale-session resurrection through
list, and sibling forward-port cleanup belong to #12452 / #12520. #12452 destroys an alternate-port sandbox without selecting its port; #12260 permits a documented recovery procedure. The base comparison at5f765a1318showed selected-root recovery failing before this PR and succeeding with it, while cross-root recovery remained unresolved on both versions. This PR imports no #12520 worker or routing changes and does not depend on that PR landing.Native NVIDIA CONNECT403/curl56 verification is separate: San's merged #12826 closed #12822. Native-inference changes, credential/model troubleshooting and GPU/CDI changes remain outside this PR.
Advisor attempt 2 records three required live selectors (
managed-image-protected-runtime,full-e2e,staging-brev-launchable) and optionalhermes-e2e. Their stated reasons concern Hermes validation/topology and Launchable external-gateway registration changes inherited from main. The cited Hermes files,src/lib/sandbox/mutable-config-perms*, gateway-host-runtime code, Launchable documentation and full-E2E files are unchanged between PR base4b1791cd18andddab26b6f8. They appear in the historicalbe4a104e10..ddab26b6f8follow-up range because it includes the main merge. This is evidence for maintainer scope disposition, not a waiver or proof that those selectors ran. The existing lifecycle/rebuild validation floor remains separate.Test and documentation rationale
San's normalized-default-endpoint correction remains: runner initialization can resolve
DOCKER_CONTEXT=defaulttoDOCKER_HOST=unix:///var/run/docker.sock.CodeRabbit identified a different gap: checking the current Docker selector alone can release recovery created under another daemon. This repair checks the existing owned gateway runtime marker before and after absence probes. Its recorded Docker host must be the native default, and its creation time must precede the recovery record. An alternate host, unknown time, or newer marker keeps recovery unresolved. A later gateway restart does not establish the earlier daemon's authority.
The recovery schema remains unchanged. Existing records can recover when the corresponding default-runtime marker still qualifies. This is a marker and chronology check, not a newly persisted per-create daemon identity.
destroySandboxnow also verify runner normalization and pinned Docker observations, replacing a separate helper-only success case.sandbox-presence.test.ts,destroy-container-identity.test.tsand the existing retained-destroy flow matrix. Recovery retains present/unknown gateway denial, failed/residual container denial, metadata preservation and the second absence probe.destroy-gateway.test.ts. Recovery now verifies missing-marker rejection despite a registered Docker fallback, and wrong-provider rejection, using real runtime markers and the production owner resolver. The alternate-current-daemon fixture starts with a valid default marker so an earlier owner refusal cannot hide a missing current-target guard.Coverage is chosen by distinct regression and boundary, not test count. A request for more tests should identify an uncovered behavior and why these existing assertions do not detect it. Equivalent tests at another layer add maintenance without additional evidence. This rationale does not waive a demonstrated defect, security gap or required live check.

Parents:ddab26b6f88aa7b0bcacaa56076c350cb68ad310and that main revision.The merge resolves the existing command-reference conflict. It preserves main's live retained-cleanup warning and provider/identity-drift guidance alongside this PR's selected-root metadata recovery procedure. Main's gateway-binding cleanup is retained; the identity-free path still returns before runtime cleanup. No additional tests or recovery behavior were added for this merge.
