📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe installer now derives unsupported-runtime admission from the explicit portable profile. Contract and integration tests cover portable admission, blocking findings, capabilities, missing artifacts, and invalid profiles. Hermes validation permits its assigned API port. A sandbox test fixture stores a fingerprinted lifecycle identity. ChangesPortable profile admission

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to The PR enables the explicit portable installer handoff while preserving other readiness blockers, but its environment-boundary validation change still allows arbitrary values for a security-sensitive key; merge is reasonable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to constrain those values.

- Around line 3471-3479: Update the installer’s dependency check around the
portable_profile_module so a missing or invalid portable classifier is treated
as false rather than causing an early successful return; preserve the core
preflight dependency check, then continue through normal host admission and
fail-closed readiness evaluation. Add a regression scenario covering an absent
portable-profile.js artifact.
In `@test/install-portable-profile.test.ts`:
- Around line 50-64: Update the test “rejects an unknown experimental profile
before install effects (`#9007`)” to run the installer against an isolated fixture
and verify its observable installer state remains unchanged after rejecting
“not-portable”. Retain the existing status and error-message assertions, and
assert no files, receipt, or other installer effects are created or modified.

Managed image activation assigns Hermes a per-sandbox API port, but the runtime secret-boundary validator rejected that non-secret variable and forced the replacement container into a restart loop. Allow the assigned port, refresh the validator integrity pin, and cover the runtime environment contract. Signed-off-by: Prekshi Vyas <prekshiv@nvidia.com>

<!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 --> ## Summary Document the accepted portable-profile Podman exception without changing Podman's Unsupported status. Isolate the invalid-profile test's process temp files so macOS toolchain state cannot change the fixture assertion. ## Related Issue Follow-up to #9010. The product boundary remains the accepted scope in #9007. ## Changes - Qualify standard Podman rejection with the explicit portable experimental profile's installer-preflight exception. - Keep all other readiness blockers enforced and keep Podman generally unsupported. - Update the platform matrix source and its generated platform-support page. - Give the invalid-profile child process a separate `TMPDIR` from the fixture whose unchanged host state the test verifies. ## Type of Change - [ ] Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor) - [x] Code change with doc updates - [ ] Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications) - [ ] Doc only (includes code sample changes) ## Quality Gates - [x] Tests added or updated for changed behavior - [ ] Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification: - [ ] Tests not applicable — justification: - [x] Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes - [ ] Docs not applicable — justification: - [ ] Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight, onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging) - [ ] Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: - [ ] Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue: ## Documentation Writer Review - [x] Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes - Result: `docs-updated` - Evidence: Reviewed the complete four-file diff against base `71bfa4b`, including `docs/reference/commands.mdx` and `docs/reference/platform-support.mdx`. The platform matrix and generated page keep Podman Unsupported while documenting only issue #9007's explicit portable installer-preflight exception. The shared command page produces the same boundary for OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code. The test cleanup removes both unique temporary directories without changing installer behavior or the unchanged-fixture assertion. The refreshed patch and all four file blobs match the previously reviewed content. Platform generation, agent variants, routes, the focused 3/3 integration test, the 11-case installer admission contract, test-title validation, the prior Fern build, and `git diff --check` pass. - Agent: Codex Desktop <!-- docs-review-head-sha: bb9d8d4 --> <!-- docs-review-agents-blob-sha: e30afb2 --> ## DGX Station Hardware Evidence - [ ] Tested on DGX Station - Tested commit: Not applicable; `scripts/prepare-dgx-station-host.sh` is unchanged. - Station profile/scenario: Not applicable. - Result: Not applicable. - Supporting evidence: Not applicable. ## Verification - [x] PR description includes a `Signed-off-by:` line and every commit appears as `Verified` in GitHub - [x] Normal `pre-commit`, `commit-msg`, and `pre-push` hooks passed, or `npm run validate:pr` passed after refreshing `origin/main` when hooks were skipped or unavailable - [x] Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — `python3 scripts/generate-platform-docs.py --check`; agent-variant generation and inspection; three focused integration runs with 3/3 tests; test-title check; and `git diff --check` passed. - [ ] Applicable broad gate passed — `npm test` for broad runtime/test-harness changes; `npm run check` for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result: Not applicable.

Summary
Align installer admission with the CLI's canonical explicit-portable classifier. An explicitly selected portable profile can now pass the unsupported-runtime finding to CLI-owned preparation, while every unrelated readiness blocker continues to fail closed.
This restores the documented installer-to-CLI handoff for the experimental portable profile. It does not add general native Podman support or resolve the separate default policy overlap tracked in #8991.
