Summary

Keep the Hermes lazy-installer verification offline, and repair PR managed-image CI so a changed locally built base is available to Docker validation and Buildx publication without registry fallback.

Related Issue

Follow-up to #9094.

Changes

  • Checksum-pin the official hindsight-client==0.6.1 and aiohttp-retry==2.9.1 wheels, then validate them offline without dependency resolution in a temporary base-image target.
  • Remove compatibility-probe state from the durable lazy-package target, then recreate the empty target with sandbox ownership and mode 0750.
  • Recreate the durable target immediately before the final offline probe so earlier Python validation cannot leave ABI metadata.
  • Run the final Hermes lazy-installer probe under RUN --network=none with a local build fixture.
  • Build the dependent PR managed image through the Docker engine, preventing Buildx from treating its local base reference as Docker Hub.
  • Export a changed PR base as Docker and OCI archives; load the Docker archive for local validation, and pass the OCI layout to Buildx for publication.
  • Cover the local-base build boundary in the managed-image workflow contract test.
  • Inject the Ollama exclusive-model selector into sandbox stop tests so the focused suite avoids unrelated module-load overhead.
  • Preload portable-resume lock-boundary command modules once per test file so timeout checks measure lock behavior instead of module initialization.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with doc updates
  • Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
  • Doc only (includes code sample changes)

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Docs not applicable — internal image-build/CI validation and test-only sandbox-stop/portable-resume setup seams; no user procedure or runtime contract changes
  • Sensitive paths changed
  • Sensitive-path review completed — hash-verified build-only artifacts, offline probe, and local-image CI boundary covered by focused checks

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: no-docs-needed
  • Evidence: Hash-verified build-only compatibility artifacts, internal image-build/CI validation, and test-only Ollama stop and portable-resume module-loading seams; no user command, configuration, API, policy, or runtime contract changes.
  • Agent: Codex Desktop

Verification

  • Signed-off commits and GitHub verification
  • npm run validate:pr passed on reviewed commit a769d590a
  • npx vitest run test/onboard-entry-composition.test.ts — 24 passed
  • npx vitest run src/lib/actions/sandbox/stop.test.ts — 40 passed on 7c07af409
  • npx vitest run src/lib/onboard/portable-resume-lock-boundary.test.ts — 2 passed in each of 3 consecutive runs on e55b5e50a
  • npx vitest run test/hermes-dependency-review.test.ts test/managed-image-publication-workflow.test.ts test/managed-image-pr-base-resolution.test.ts — 26 passed
  • npx vitest run --project integration test/hermes-dependency-review.test.ts — 7 passed on a769d590a, including altered-wheel hash rejection
  • Executable Linux/amd64 compatibility layer installed both checksum-pinned wheels under RUN --network=none and imported the official Hindsight client
  • Exact Linux/amd64 Hermes managed-image build with the PR CI arguments completed all final-stage checks and exported successfully
  • npm run docs passed with 0 errors (2 non-failing Fern warnings)
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Hermes Docker builds now validate offline Hindsight lazy installation with a local hindsight-client 0.6.1 wheel. The managed-image workflow records base origin and selects Docker CLI or Buildx builds. Tests cover both flows.

Changes

Hindsight offline probe

Layer / File(s) Summary
Offline build and lazy-install validation
agents/hermes/Dockerfile, agents/hermes/Dockerfile.base
Build steps run isolated Hindsight probes with a local 0.6.1 wheel. They validate the durable target and imports for sandbox and gateway, then remove temporary state.
Offline probe regression coverage
test/hermes-dependency-review.test.ts
Tests verify the probe target, empty initial directory, offline package configuration, fixture marker, and absence of HTTPS URLs.

Managed-image build workflow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Base-image origin resolution
.github/workflows/managed-images.yaml, test/managed-image-pr-base-resolution.test.ts
Base resolution now reports whether the selected image is local or registry-backed. Tests verify the output.
Local and registry managed-image builds
.github/workflows/managed-images.yaml, test/managed-image-publication-workflow.test.ts
Local bases use docker build for linux/amd64. Registry bases use Buildx. Tests validate conditions, arguments, tags, builder selection, and command structure.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 54553

The PR changes managed-image builder selection and workflow permissions; the focused contract tests still leave the Docker invocation and registry-build permission ordering insufficiently verified, creating a bounded CI integration risk that should have explicit owner follow-up.

2 terminology differences from the second opinion

Advisory only. These are normalized differences from the primary terminology receipt.

  • OCI layout at .github/workflows/managed-images.yaml:444: selected only by the second-opinion lane as justified.
  • NEMOCLAW_BUILD_PROBE_FIXTURE at agents/hermes/Dockerfile:1204: selected only by the second-opinion lane as established.

Second-opinion terminology and E2E selections are advisory. Live E2E does not run automatically for pull requests.

3 semantic terminology decisions

Terminology decisions are advisory. They affect the assessment only when a separate finding identifies concrete semantic impact.

  • established — compatibility probe at agents/hermes/hindsight-client-probe-requirements.txt:4: Keep `compatibility probe` for the bounded build-only package check.
  • justified — offline lazy-installer at agents/hermes/Dockerfile:1204: Keep `offline lazy-installer` where the no-network and local-fixture distinction matters.
  • replace — durable target at agents/hermes/Dockerfile:1158: Replace `durable target` and `durable-target` with `lazy-install target` in the changed Dockerfile comments.

E2E guidance

Advisory only. A maintainer can dispatch the default E2E suite for the commit under review.

Recommended E2E: None

Manual-only E2E: cloud-onboard, hermes-e2e, hermes-inference-switch, managed-image-multiarch-startup, security-posture, onboard-repair, onboard-resume, full-e2e
The manual PR workflow does not run these selectors for the commit under review. Run them from reviewed code on main.

Approved for exact head 04683ce44413243b43d158dc50223ad839205b27.

Reviewed all five changed files. The Hermes validation correctly separates the networked official-package compatibility probe from the final no-network lazy-installer contract, and the CI repair makes the final PR build consume the local changed base through Docker’s image store rather than resolving it as a Docker Hub image. The repair retains the exact-head revision label and required build arguments. Focused verification passed: test/hermes-dependency-review.test.ts, test/managed-image-publication-workflow.test.ts, and test/managed-image-pr-base-resolution.test.ts (26 tests). Full GitHub CI is still running.

## Summary

Base-trust the published OpenShell v0.0.103 release identities without
selecting that version at runtime. This prevents the later selector
upgrade from authorizing its own release assets or supervisor image
while NemoClaw continues to run OpenShell v0.0.101.

## Related Issue

Part of #8893. Parent integration epic: #7937.

## Changes

- Add dormant v0.0.103 checksum-manifest, Homebrew formula, and
extracted sandbox-binary identities to the base-owned installer trust
set.
- Add the official `ghcr.io/nvidia/openshell/supervisor:0.0.103`
immutable OCI index digest to the base-owned supervisor trust set.
- Parse the candidate supervisor map strictly while authenticating every
other byte of the candidate runtime source against a base-owned
whole-file template hash.
- Test wrong digests, version remapping, missing and duplicate
identities, candidate-parser self-authorization, repository drift,
consumer bypass, shadow maps, post-map mutation, and symlink input.
- Remove an unrelated Shields conflict-resolution artifact.

## Type of Change

- [x] Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
- [ ] 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:
- [ ] Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
- [x] Docs not applicable — justification: v0.0.103 is dormant in this
change. Active runtime selectors remain on v0.0.101, and no public
behavior, configuration, API, policy, output, or workflow changes.
- [x] Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight,
onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
- [x] Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver
recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: Independent Codex
Desktop security review passed all nine categories for commit
`89b85d23de3`. The additive merge at `71425c7e03ef` did not change any
of the six PR-specific files. Its other changes came from merged PR
#9158, which passed its review and merge gates. The trust identities and
dormant v0.0.103 selection state remain unchanged.
- [ ] 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: `no-docs-needed`
- Evidence: Reviewed the complete six-file diff at
`71425c7e03efc415bfebcfaa36c092566556b384` against base
`996fc263473efdf81c00aa7dc5f8b768ac65a338`. Each PR-specific file is
byte-identical to commit `89b85d23de3a3410e1cb9cf43386d8eb0bc92c88`,
which received independent documentation and security review. The merge
commit adds reviewed content from merged PR #9158 only. Active OpenShell
selection remains v0.0.101. This PR changes no user command,
configuration, API, policy, output, or workflow.

## 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 — normal commit hooks passed; the pre-push
hook could not run the unavailable local TypeScript compiler. GitHub CI
is validating the six-file change.
- [ ] Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests
are marked not applicable above — the focused trust suite previously
passed 105 tests; GitHub CI is validating the latest PR commit.
- [ ] Applicable broad gate passed — GitHub CI is running.
- [x] Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or
waivers
- [x] No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
- [ ] `npm run docs` builds without warnings (doc changes only)
- [ ] Doc pages follow the [style
guide](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
(doc changes only)
- [ ] New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

Additional verification: the published v0.0.103 release manifests,
formula, and inner sandbox binaries match the trust values in this PR.
GitHub Packages maps the v0.0.103 supervisor tag to
`sha256:96228f110362ffd415bb12d3b7f584063c3c52c0c93f3ccf59faada1dc2dd5d3`.
Active blueprint, installer, Brev, and supervisor selectors remain on
v0.0.101. The cross-issue sweep found no adjacent fixes or
contradictions above the medium-confidence floor.
