feat(onboard): warn about a headless Docker Desktop credential store in preflight - #9459
Conversation
…in preflight Onboarding preflight now reads the Docker client config ($DOCKER_CONFIG/config.json, default ~/.docker/config.json), detects credsStore "desktop" or "desktop.exe" together with a headless or SSH session, and warns before the first image pull instead of failing later at the container-image-pull step. The warning proceeds; the same advisory joins the remediation list when readiness blocks onboarding. Refs #9457 Signed-off-by: Dongni Yang <dongniy@nvidia.com>

Review fixes for the #9457 credential-store advisory: - Cached resume now re-evaluates the warning before its pull-capable bridge probe; session state cannot be carried by a recorded preflight. - On WSL the check trusts a read-only credential-helper probe instead of DISPLAY/SSH markers, which WSLg and wsl.exe make wrong in both directions. - The advisory names the advisory id and no longer hard-codes ~/.docker/config.json, which detection does not require. - readDockerCredsStore resolves the home directory inside its guard so a HOME-less container degrades instead of failing the host assessment.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review
Why this blocks
The new condition is registered as a normal host advisory, but this patch also creates a second imperative execution and presentation path for that same advisory.
dockerDesktopCredentialStoreHeadless joins DOCKER_HOST_ADVISORY_CHECKS, where runAdvisories owns phase and resume behavior. warnIfHeadlessDockerDesktopCredentialStore in preflight-messages.ts:72-98 bypasses that owner and calls the check directly, then maintains another renderer beside printRemediationActions.
Fresh preflight invokes that printer from fatal-runtime-preflight.ts:439-443. Cached resume separately adds an optional dependency, an unknown cast, and another invocation in machine/handlers/preflight.ts:187-197. The feature therefore needs two execution paths, two presentation paths, and overlapping registry, printer, ordering, and resume tests to keep one warning consistent.
Refactor direction
Keep the host assessment fields and keep the advisory as a pure registered check. Present nonblocking host advisories at the existing common host-readiness boundary that both fresh and resumed onboarding already pass through.
For example, let assertOnboardSystemReadiness plan current-host advisories once and present applicable warning-severity results before returning an admitted report. Alternatively return those planned advisories to one common pre-effect presenter. In either form, use the advisory runner and the existing remediation presenter rather than invoking one check’s .check() method directly.
Remove the bespoke warning function, the fresh-path call, the cached-resume dependency and cast, and their duplicated tests. Retain one advisory classification suite and one integration assertion that warnings precede pull-capable effects.
Expected result
One advisory registry, one resume policy, one presentation path, and one placement before effects. The same warning still appears during fresh and resumed onboarding, while the feature loses its check-specific plumbing and a substantial amount of production and test LOC.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review
Resolved at commit 792f78291f06389aad711fb134b2e0f00d17e5c9.
The follow-up removes warnIfHeadlessDockerDesktopCredentialStore() and its direct advisory check. It also removes the cached-resume dependency, unknown cast, and separate invocation.
Fresh and resumed onboarding now present the registered warning through assertOnboardSystemReadiness(), planHostAdvisories(), and printRemediationActions(). presentAdvisories: false suppresses only the second cached-resume presentation after the first readiness check presented the warning.
The follow-up removes 19 net production lines and 17 net lines across the commit. No replacement LOC or codebase-simplicity blocker remains.
This comment clears only the LOC/codebase-simplicity review at commit 792f78291f06389aad711fb134b2e0f00d17e5c9. It is not an approval or a judgment on other review dimensions.

Summary
On a Docker-Desktop-backed host reached over a headless SSH session, the Docker client config sets
credsStoretodesktop(macOS) ordesktop.exe(WSL2), and that credential helper needs a GUI session. Onboarding preflight passed cleanly and the failure surfaced only later at the container-image-pull step (A specified logon session does not exist). Preflight now reads the Docker client config, detects the Docker Desktop credential store together with headless-session evidence, and warns with the workaround before the first image pull, then proceeds. On WSL the evidence is a read-only credential-helper probe; elsewhere it is SSH or missing-GUI session markers. Fresh and cached-resume onboarding both warn.Related Issue
