Outcome

Legacy standalone sandbox Bash E2E suites no longer run in main CI. Their unique real-image security and glibc behavior now runs as typed tests in the canonical E2E managed-image lane.

Reason

The completed Vitest E2E migration left two monolithic shell suites and a fixture image behind in image CI. They duplicated typed coverage, asserted incidental implementation details, and caused failures outside the canonical E2E result.

Changes

  • Delete the legacy sandbox and gateway-isolation shell suites, their fixture image, and their dedicated image-workflow jobs.
  • Add a typed OpenClaw managed-image security test for cross-user process isolation, protected filesystem boundaries, required image tools, and post-stepdown capabilities.
  • Move the real glibc probe lifecycle regression into the canonical managed-image E2E job and retain unrelated image contract jobs.

Verification

  • Contributor validation: Signed commit hooks and npm run validate:pr passed.
  • Tests: npm run test:changed; focused Vitest: 103 tests passed; E2E operations workflow: 81 tests passed; managed-image protected workflow: 31 tests passed; npm run checks:repository; npm run build:cli; npm --prefix nemoclaw run build; npm run typecheck:cli; npm run validate:pr
  • Broad gate: npm run validate:pr passed against origin/main at 3076188.
  • Secrets review: The diff contains no secrets, API keys, or credentials
  • Documentation review: no-docs-needed
  • Documentation evidence: Contributor E2E architecture documentation remains current; no product behavior documentation changed.
  • Documentation agent: openai/openai/gpt-5.6-sol
  • Targeted validation: Advisor repairs: 60 focused contract tests passed; strengthened linux/arm64 final-image security test passed; test:changed passed (69 changed tests plus 33 guardrail tests).
  • Broad gate: passed — npm run validate:pr passed against refreshed origin/main d4eff54a8ddf132503725f3557b3a004894ec41a.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflows now build and validate production image contracts. They remove sandbox test image paths, add managed OpenClaw security and glibc lifecycle checks, and update required-check wiring and supporting tests.

Changes

Sandbox image contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Production image contract workflows
.github/workflows/sandbox-images.yaml, .github/workflows/pr-self-hosted.yaml, .github/workflows/e2e.yaml, test/runtime/sandbox/sandbox-provisioning.test.ts
Production images are saved and validated. Runtime override, port override, and glibc lifecycle contracts run against the production image. Sandbox image builds and related E2E paths are removed.
Managed OpenClaw security validation
test/e2e/live/managed-image-openclaw-security.test.ts, test/e2e/live/managed-image-multiarch-startup-helpers.ts, .github/workflows/pr-self-hosted.yaml, test/e2e/support/pr-self-hosted-llama-selector.test.ts
The managed OpenClaw test validates identities, filesystem boundaries, configuration normalization, link and race handling, and capability removal. The workflow loads the protected image and uploads evidence.
Required-check and workflow integration
.github/workflows/main.yaml, tools/e2e/sandbox-images-workflow-boundary.mts, test/e2e/support/*, test/automation/pull-requests/pr-workflow-contract.test.ts, test/repository/*, test/helpers/*, test/e2e/*README.md
Required checks, workflow boundary validation, fixtures, secret forwarding, documentation, and watch triggers use sandbox-image-contracts and sandbox-images.yaml.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 87d6d

Required managed-image security or glibc lifecycle validation could silently disappear from CI. Add explicit step-presence assertions before merging.

- Around line 590-592: Update the assertion in the test iteration that mutates a
single job’s Hermes export swap command so it expects only the corresponding
validation error for that jobName, rather than requiring errors for both jobs;
preserve the existing per-job mutation and validator behavior.

## Summary

Allows explicitly selected, registered native runtime providers to own
host readiness without being blocked by Docker-only availability,
reachability, runtime, or storage requirements. This restores the
documented Docker-less native Podman installer path while keeping
default Docker, platform, GPU, gateway, and unrelated blockers
fail-closed.

## Related Issue

Fixes #10891

## Changes

- Add an explicit, registry-validated provider-owned host-readiness
boundary and use it in both CLI onboarding and installer preflight.
- Keep default Docker and Docker-backed managed vLLM fail-closed;
Docker-less native Podman still runs its own doctor, GPU, bridge, and
DNS checks.
- Prove the public installer path with Docker removed on the Podman E2E
lane, post-install Docker absence, retained evidence, and fail-safe
restoration ordering.
- Align prerequisites, quickstarts, platform support, inference,
security, and troubleshooting guidance with the implemented boundary.

## 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)

## Verification
- [ ] `npx prek run --all-files` passes
- [ ] `npm test` passes without unrelated infrastructure failures
- [x] Tests added or updated for new or changed behavior
- [x] No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
- [x] Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
- [x] Documentation validation passes with zero errors
- [x] Doc pages follow the [style
guide](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md)
- [ ] New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

Exact-head evidence for `68893d8bfc36e2e30c2b9a18449d43e5ec26c3cd`:

- [PR Review
Advisor](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33757032152):
all nine specialists succeeded; every artifact was inspected and reports
no remaining finding.
- CodeRabbit reviewed the exact head, confirmed both requested fixes,
accepted Podman `ownsHostReadiness: true`, and has zero unresolved
threads.
- [Rootless Podman CPU
Qualification](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33757034936):
success with Docker disabled.
- [Managed
Images](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33757034962):
all ten jobs succeeded, including exact all-agent activation and both
OpenClaw MCP discovery passes.
- [Focused
E2E](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/33760249117):
`cloud-onboard / podman / public-nvidia` succeeded. The retained receipt
records `dockerClientAvailable: false` at `/usr/bin/docker`; the
post-install `command -v docker` probe exited 1; installer, sandbox,
inference/security checks, restoration, and cleanup passed.
- Code scanning, installer hashes, DCO, docs, CLI/installer parity,
governance, local focused suites, mock/live parity, growth guardrails,
CLI typecheck, repository checks, Fern validation, lint, and commit/push
hooks passed.

Known unrelated CI state:

- The full Linux package-contract runner passed 1,238 tests but npm
10.9.8 crashed in `managed-image-registry-transport.test.ts` with
upstream npm/cli issue [#9787](npm/cli#9787).
The exact test passes standalone and the same npm crash is present on
unrelated PRs; three exact-head attempts reproduced the npm defect.
- Self-hosted image qualification has two pre-existing migration
failures that reproduce on the prior head and are owned by separate PR
#10941. This PR does not change those image/test surfaces.
