fix(onboard): keep portable sandboxes off the Docker-labeled recreation - #9476
Conversation
The portable profile registers the OpenShell gateway with the podman driver, but two create-path decisions still routed non-OpenClaw agents into the Docker-lifecycle container recreation: the restart-safe startup-command persistence enabled it for hermes and langchain-deepagents-code, and the GPU route plan kept the compatibility path reachable (Jetson selects it by default). That recreation discovers the sandbox with docker-driver labels (openshell.ai/managed-by), which podman-driver containers never carry, so it can only fail after Ready with "Could not find OpenShell Docker container" and kill onboarding. PR #9176 rerouted portable+OpenClaw onto the podman-safe lifecycle and deliberately left other agents unchanged. Extend both gates to the whole profile: resolveDockerStartupCommandPatch returns persistStartupCommand=false under the portable profile, and resolveAgentPlan keeps every portable agent on native GPU injection. With persistence off and the route native, the recreation transaction is disabled and ensureApplied is a no-op, matching the OpenClaw behavior #9176 shipped. DOCKER_HOST injection was investigated and refuted as the cause: the podman socket is set on process.env before creation and forwarded to every docker spawn through the subprocess-env allowlist. The query hit the right daemon and matched zero label rows. Fixes #9462 Signed-off-by: Dongni Yang <dongniy@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Dongni-Yang <dongniy@nvidia.com>

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review
Why this blocks
This change correctly makes portable GPU routing a profile-wide decision, but it leaves the old agent-specific API behind.
src/lib/onboard/docker-gpu-sandbox-create-plan.ts:35-48 now ignores _agent and derives portableLifecycle only from the experimental profile. src/lib/onboard.ts:2844 still passes an agent, and docker-gpu-sandbox-create-route-plan.test.ts:176-200 repeats several agent values through an argument that cannot affect the result.
That preserves the obsolete design in the function signature and adds test LOC for impossible variation.
Refactor direction
Remove the agent parameter from resolveAgentPlan and its production call. Keep one resolver-level portable-profile assertion plus the public-boundary coverage that proves the profile environment is forwarded correctly.
Rename the resolver if needed so its name reflects that the decision is profile- and runtime-based.
Expected result
A smaller API, fewer test cases, and no suggestion that agent identity still owns this route decision.
…resolver The portable route decision is profile- and runtime-based, so the resolver's agent parameter no longer affects the result. Remove it from the resolver, its production call, and the intent-resolver dependency seam, and rename resolveAgentPlan to resolveProfileGpuCreatePlan. Collapse the test variations that repeated agent values through an argument that cannot change the outcome into one resolver-boundary assertion plus the portable Jetson default case.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review
Resolved at a6d047da061148ad72efc50ccaa656cdca04c723.
The obsolete agent parameter is gone from the GPU create-plan resolver and its callers, and the redundant agent permutations have been collapsed while retaining the distinct portable and Jetson route contracts. The follow-up removes 23 net lines and leaves no replacement simplicity finding.
This is a scope-limited follow-up, not an approval or a correctness, security, or CI review.

@Dongni-Yang The LOC-reduction change request is addressed by the latest branch update. One actionable CodeRabbit finding remains open in Maintainer edits are disabled on this fork. Please add this line at the start of the test named “gates restart-safe persistence on the step's own portable env, not process.env (#9462)”: vi.stubEnv("NEMOCLAW_EXPERIMENTAL_PROFILE", "default");This makes the test prove that I validated that change locally:

Summary
On the portable (rootless Podman) profile, the Docker-lifecycle container recreation discovers the sandbox with docker-driver labels (
openshell.ai/managed-by=openshell). Podman-driver containers never carry that label, so whenever the recreation runs it can only fail after the sandbox reaches Ready —Could not find OpenShell Docker container for sandbox '<name>'— and onboarding exits before registration on GPU hosts.Root cause note: the issue's stated hypothesis (missing
DOCKER_HOSTinjection) was investigated and refuted. The podman socket is set onprocess.envby portable host preparation before creation and forwarded to every docker spawn through the subprocess-env allowlist; the failing query hit the correct daemon and matched zero label rows. The QA artifact supports this: the diagnostics collector writesdocker-ps.txtonly whendocker pssucceeds with output, so its presence proves a successful query with zero matches, not a wrong daemon.Relationship to #9176: the exact QA reproduction (default agent, native route, v0.0.109) was already fixed on
mainby #9176, which rerouted portable+OpenClaw onto the podman-safe lifecycle and deliberately left other agents unchanged. Two paths of the same defect remained live onmain:resolveDockerStartupCommandPatchstill enabled the recreation forhermesandlangchain-deepagents-codeunder the portable profile. This also reproduces the non-GPU symptom QA reported (routenone, recreation ran for "restart-safe startup").resolveAgentPlanforced native-only routing for portable+OpenClaw only, so portable + other agents could still be routed into the compatibility recreation: Jetson hosts select it by default (no env opt-in), Docker Desktop WSL detection selects it, andNEMOCLAW_DOCKER_GPU_PATCH=1/fallbackselect it explicitly.This PR extends both gates from OpenClaw-only to the whole portable profile. With persistence off and the route native, the recreation transaction is disabled (
recreationEnabledis false) andensureAppliedis a no-op — the exact behavior #9176 shipped for OpenClaw.Changes
