COMMENT for commit 921341529f54ab98cfd35b60eb589bec404f8ddc against base d1c1843147ba40a7d67c1a48affbba7c899010d9.
I found no blocking defect in the reviewed code paths. The change preserves explicit Ultra and DeepSeek choices, paired-Station Ultra, existing-install behavior, bearer authentication, immutable model and image identity, reviewed-code verification, fixed serving arguments after recipe materialization, topology discovery across reboot, and owned E2E cleanup.
I cannot approve this revision yet:
- Product scope is not accepted for this default change. The linked October 15 decision explicitly says not to change the Station default and requires a separate reviewed default-selection decision. The release record refers to a subsequent maintainer request but does not link an auditable Accept record. Record the reason, placement, accountable maintainer, and validation plan in the linked issue or design decision before approval.
- The exact-head installer integration job fails at
install-station-controller-binding.test.ts:452. The legacy-single-head path correctly retains Ultra, but the production message now saysusing single-Station model nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55bwhile the test expectsusing the existing single-Station Ultra recipe. This appears mechanical: update the expectation or preserve the legacy wording, then rerun the job. - The PR Review Advisor has not published an exact-head E2E recommendation. The PR already identifies
dgx-station-expressas the required clean-host qualification, and no run for this commit is available. That run must cover the automatic default and generated agent settings on9213415before approval. - Required CI and CodeQL are still running. The earlier growth-guardrail failure was a 10-second hook timeout; later exact-head growth-guardrail runs passed, so I do not treat it as PR-attributable.
Security review:
- PASS: secrets and credentials, input validation and data sanitization, authentication and authorization, error handling and logging, cryptography and data protection, and configuration safety.
- WARNING: dependencies use the unchanged digest-pinned public ARM64 vLLM nightly and revision-bound reviewed model code. Security testing and system security remain contingent on CodeQL and clean-host Station qualification for the automatic activation path.
- FAIL: none.
This is a contingent review, not an approval. If the scope decision is recorded, the test failure is repaired, exact-head CI and Advisor-selected E2E evidence pass, and the head remains unchanged, I see no other blocker in the current diff.

@rsliter — I approve making Super VL the default for new single DGX Station installations, with Ultra retained as an explicit option and the paired-Station default. I am the accountable maintainer for this scope. Decision: Accept. The auditable default-selection decision is now recorded on #12492, including reason, placement, ownership, compatibility/security boundaries, and validation requirements. It supersedes the earlier exclusion of a Station-default change for this PR only. This resolves the product-scope decision, not the remaining approval gates. Candidate |

Commit under review: 921341529f54ab98cfd35b60eb589bec404f8ddc against base d1c1843147ba40a7d67c1a48affbba7c899010d9. CHANGES_REQUESTED. The accepted scope decision permits this bounded single-Station default, with qualification before merge.
- The automatic default has not passed its required Station qualification. The candidate's clean-Station attempt stopped at the existing failed
sssd-pam.socketduring OS preflight, before model installation. The accepted decision requires a candidate-bound Express install that checks the automatic choice, generated OpenClaw settings, routed inference, and lifecycle cleanup. Complete that qualification on the commit proposed for merge. The historical native recipe and manually configured OpenClaw run do not establish the new default-onboarding path. The alternative is to keep automatic selection disabled until qualification is available. - The exact-commit test suite fails on two stale expectations. The installer integration job fails at
test/installer-integration/install-station-controller-binding.test.ts:452: the legacy Ultra path printsusing single-Station model nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b, while the test expects the former wording. CLI shard 8 fails attest/onboarding/detect-vllm-profile.test.ts:48: the Station default now resolves to the pinned Super VL vLLM image, while the test expects the former Ultra image. Update these expectations to preserve their intended behavior checks, then rerun the applicable required checks.
Initial code inspection found the explicit model choices, pair discovery across reboot, and fixed recipe command guard in place. I am completing the remaining security, documentation, and cross-issue review. This review does not establish required-CI eligibility or merge approval.

Additional validation finding on commit Please provide candidate-bound fresh-Express evidence that checks the effective generated OpenClaw settings and exercises the agent with those settings, or extend the Station qualification to do so. Record the packaged sandbox-delivery result as required by the release record. The prior OpenClaw run used manual settings and cannot fill this gap. |

The default-agent and packaged-CLI qualification requested in review now passes on
The tested CLI is this PR's commit. The ARM64 managed sandbox came from the independently published The repairs also fix the two stale CI assertions, retain verified model identity through the reviewed snapshot launcher, and supply catalog-declared image inputs during unattended OpenClaw onboarding. Local regression results: 1,639 passed, one existing Darwin skip. Normal publication hooks passed; all three repair commits are GitHub-verified. New hosted CI and automated review are still running. This is test evidence, not a request to waive checks or dismiss the existing human reviews. |

Approved for commit 5a478b3ed0177ee19ec1878bf8c883854b1913b4 as an independent code review. The repair commits align both stale Station-default test expectations, preserve the reviewed checkpoint identity through the verified host-local serving receipt, and derive unattended image inputs from the catalog. I found no new critical security or correctness issue in the changed paths.
The accepted #12492 decision covers this bounded default. The author's exact-commit Station qualification receipt reports automatic Express selection, generated OpenClaw settings, agent-routed text/image and file operations, packaged CLI onboarding, rebuild, and owned cleanup. This addresses my prior qualification request.

Advisor disposition for 5a478b3 All nine reports from run 38839794036, attempt 1, have been collected and read. Artifact digests and candidate provenance were verified. Six reports are clear; three contain findings. Prekshi directed us to defer findings that can safely be follow-ups. On that basis, no source change is proposed for these three findings:
The final-candidate Station evidence is recorded at #13295 (comment). It covers fresh Express installation, the generated default OpenClaw agent, installed npm package onboarding, image/file tools, restart, rebuild, cleanup, and restoration. Main CI and security checks passed. Senthil approved this commit; CodeRabbit has no remaining actionable finding. This disposition does not change Advisor's result or waive a required check. Advisor remains failed on these three findings. Image/runtime and self-hosted qualification checks are still running. No merge, check override, human-review dismissal, or rerun was performed. |
## Outcome Station Express leaves automatic single-Station model selection to the serving catalog, which selects Super VL NVFP4. Explicit choices, qualified-pair Ultra, legacy Ultra preservation, and reboot-resume intent remain unchanged. ## Reason [PR #13295](#13295) made Super VL the single-Station default. The installer still duplicated that selection, and some documentation named older defaults. This follow-up addresses the three deferred findings [recorded on the parent PR](#13295 (comment)). ## Changes - Leave automatic selectors unset until the catalog or qualified-pair decision selects a recipe. Persist `auto` across reboot resume. - Preserve explicit selections, legacy Ultra workloads, pair qualification, and refusal paths. - Assert the upstream Super VL workflow descriptions through the planner's output. - Correct the vLLM guides, model-selector reference, and generated provider tables. - Resolve conflicts with main `876e20ef733444b3a9c141242c84e1f16b6a7722`. Preserve upstream workflow validation, input-modality guidance, native-local inference changes, and platform prompt assets. All three prompt links retain upstream's immutable revision `2593269511c4c850a60cb2423a436be1f2fb9da9`. No model weights, runtime pins, recipe arguments, host-preparation behavior, live E2E assertions, or support status change. Super VL remains Experimental. No new selection mechanism or configuration state is added. ## Verification Candidate: `024115d9a85ed376c529d942166db7dcf698177e`. - `npm run build:cli` — passed. - The following suite — **1,168 passed, one existing skip across 44 files**. It covers installer selection and resume, explicit choices, pair handling, controller ordering, catalog resolution, fixed recipes, workflow descriptions, and the full generation suite. ```sh node_modules/.bin/vitest run \ --project installer-integration --project e2e-support --project cli --project integration \ test/installer-integration/install-express-noninteractive.test.ts \ test/installer-integration/install-express-prompt.test.ts \ test/installer-integration/install-station-pair-preparation.test.ts \ test/installer-integration/install-station-controller-binding.test.ts \ test/e2e/support/dgx-station-workflow-boundary.test.ts \ src/lib/inference/vllm-models.test.ts \ src/lib/inference/vllm-runtime-selection.test.ts \ src/lib/inference/vllm-fixed-catalog-install.test.ts \ test/inference/managed/super-vl-catalog.test.ts \ test/generation ``` - `npm run docs` — passed, zero errors and two warnings. Checked the generated OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents guides. - Git-blob comparison and SHA-256 checks — all three platform prompt assets match their pinned content byte-for-byte. - `bash -n scripts/install.sh` and diff whitespace checks — passed. - Normal signed-commit hooks — passed. A formatter changed one assertion's wrapping; its nine tests passed again before committing. - Normal pre-push hooks — publication validation and CLI TypeScript checks passed. Unchanged plugin and JavaScript checks were skipped by normal path selection. - Tests and hooks use a clean environment and a filesystem boundary denying credential reads. Local tests also deny external network access. - The reviewed diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials; the normal secret-scanning hook passed. - [Main CI for this candidate](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38854900105) passed, including all 12 CLI shards and static checks. Required PR checks are green. ## Review notes Compared with canonical main `876e20ef733444b3a9c141242c84e1f16b6a7722`, the sensitive changed path is `scripts/install.sh`. Local self-review covered the complete diff and adjacent selection/resume paths. CodeRabbit completed its review of `024115d9a` with no actionable comments. All nine [current Advisor specialist reports](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38856630789) succeeded and reported no findings; the no-blockers gate passed. Independent human approval remains required. On prior commit `74d722cd73424b7d1bb50d77d0cd2eff65617059`, main CI passed and CodeRabbit reported no blocking code finding. Its substring suggestion is incorporated into the conflicting documentation test. All nine [Advisor specialist reports](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38853230457) were collected. Eight were clear. The documentation finding claimed the old prompt pin lacked Super VL guidance, but [the pinned Station asset](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/1da4f9270377dd1760f76d4fbf2a59ece23adbba/docs/resources/prompt-assets/dgx-station.md) already contains the new-install Super VL, qualified-pair Ultra, and legacy Ultra rules. The authenticated contents API and local Git agree on blob `f4725b1e2ae9e7dc2c8e10d1a5d95d684a83b581`. The merge now retains upstream's newer, byte-matched prompt asset and pin. No review was dismissed or check weakened. No fresh live Station qualification is claimed for this follow-up. The parent's hardware evidence is not relabeled as testing this commit. Advisor live-test suggestions remain recommendations, not completed evidence. The unchanged candidate has completed required CI and automated review and is ready for human review. The optional [managed-image workflow](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/38854900121) still has three all-agent activation jobs running; no failure is observed, and those pending jobs are not claimed as passed. --- Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas <prekshiv@nvidia.com> <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit * **New Features** * DGX Station installs now select a model based on available topology: new single-Station installs use the catalog’s Experimental Nemotron 3.5 Super VL default, while a qualified two-Station pair selects distributed Nemotron Ultra. * Existing single-Station Ultra workloads stay on Ultra, and explicit model choices remain authoritative. * **Documentation** * Updated setup guidance covers model options, pair qualification, and the approximate 75 GB Super VL download. * **Tests** * Expanded coverage for automatic model selection, Station-pair qualification, and installer resume behavior. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> --------- Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas <prekshiv@nvidia.com>
Outcome
Make Nemotron 3.5 Super VL NVFP4 + MTP the default for new single-DGX-Station installations. Keep Ultra available explicitly and retain Ultra for paired Stations. Existing running installations are not migrated.
Reason
Merged PR #13279 delivered the integration with its preset disabled. This follow-up enables selection and updates the separate Express installer default, including reboot resume and topology discovery.

Not yet merge-ready. The single-Station default Accept decision records scope and ownership; it does not waive qualification or independent approval.
The clean-host Station Express test passed on
847b239e3ca1362a4c1b0a34a7cd32a3490ab8e4: automatic Super VL selection, authenticated model startup, managed OpenClaw sandbox delivery, routed inference, and cleanup. Cleanup used the canonical ownership-checked fallback to remove the test's orphan OpenClaw state volume. The original demo containers and model health were restored. This was a focused local Station test, not the full GitHub E2E matrix.On
5a478b3ed0177ee19ec1878bf8c883854b1913b4, the complete local Station run passed in 1,023 seconds. Fresh Express onboarding, native OpenClawmainfile/image tests, stop/start, and rebuild passed. The same run then installed an npm archive of the candidate and used that installed CLI for onboarding, file/image tests, and another rebuild. Eight agent turns made 29 successful tool calls, zero tool failures, and no model fallback. Independent checks verified zero, one, and two trailing newlines and file persistence. Cleanup passed, using the canonical ownership-checked fallback for the test's orphan state volume.No manual agent overrides were applied. Both installation paths generated text-and-image input, 49,152 context tokens, 4,096 output tokens, Tool Search disabled, and the generic client defaults (
thinkingDefault: off,reasoning: false). The server still reported reasoning tokens. The default tool set was available (37 tools initially, 38 after rebuild); the exercised tools werewrite,read, andedit. Generated settings survived rebuild.The installed npm archive was not a source symlink, had no Git checkout, and reported the tested commit in
dist/build-identity.json. No package files were supplemented. Archive SHA-256:c7567525d7d4eb2cb87c448ef68652f42d817c58c16dc5ea5d6582b9f1ccec48. Packaged onboarding used the prepared host and retained managed model; it was not a second empty-host bootstrap.

The recipe's public vLLM image and checkpoint pins were unchanged. Evidence is retained underdefault-agent-vKIypMin the private Station qualification records. These local results do not establish hosted CI or review approval.Historical hardware evidence at
cb8f90438e362659b4a14f4b2ad9f66769c74b4dcovers native recipe installation, authentication/recovery/restart, direct endpoint tests, and full-tool OpenClaw file/image flows on the final public image. That OpenClaw run explicitly disabled Tool Search and configured serial tool calls. It is not evidence that the new default onboarding path supplies those settings. The development npm package's fallback sandbox-build failure remains unresolved; a source-checkout onboarding pass does not fix it. The denied-local-media HTTP 500 vs 400 mismatch is unchanged and outside this PR.Sensitive paths:
