feat(runtime): add dormant Podman GPU and local inference

[ericksoa]

Summary

Reconstructs B4-D of #7744 on current main and consolidates the former 4.5A–4.5D review slices into one dormant provider-owned Podman GPU and host-local inference batch. Ollama, NVIDIA NIM, and vLLM now share exact operation authority, durable secret-free lifecycle receipts, and provider-neutral inference.local startup integration for OpenClaw, Hermes, and LangChain Deep Agents Code. Podman remains absent from production registration and support claims.

Related Issue

Refs #7744. Consolidates the reviewed source intent from #8059, #8060, #8061, and #8066 into this existing PR.

Changes

• Bind each host-local inference operation to the exact Podman executable and safe parent chain, socket endpoint, server authority, provider-owned network, and physical NVIDIA CDI UUID inventory. Revalidation rejects executable, endpoint, CDI, launch-spec, or authority drift before mutation.
• Translate only the bounded Podman inference command surface. The translator rejects Docker-named helper execution, raw mounts, host IPC, --rm, ambiguous GPU requests, mutable images, and secret-bearing argv.
• Add canonical secret-free Ollama, NIM, and vLLM receipts bound to provider, engine, endpoint, immutable images, runtime identity, launch digest, CDI authority, provider-native HTTP/inference proof, and publication transaction.
• Add fail-closed start, inspect, stop, preserve, resume, interrupted recovery, rollback, and destroy behavior through an injected runtime provider. Evidence is redacted before fallback or rollback; missing, reused, ambiguous, or indeterminate cleanup identity is rejected.
• Route the three agents through the same https://inference.local/v1 application contract while direct provider proof uses the inspected provider gateway. Startup and policy tests cover success, drift, rollback, stopped/running restoration, cleanup ambiguity, recovery, route allow/deny, and cross-engine exclusion.
• Preserve only the two bounded OpenClaw continuity fields needed to prevent missing-meta-vs-last-good rollback; backup routes, providers, credentials, and arbitrary metadata never cross into the regenerated managed config.
• Preserve Docker behavior and the socket-free MXC-style provider seam. CURRENT_RUNTIME_PROVIDER_BUNDLES remains Docker/Kubernetes only, the production host-local resolver remains null, and hidden --temp-managed-runtime behavior remains default-off and undocumented.

The operation-scoped provider-owned selection is carried through the provider inference handler and all three startup flows, with current-provider null-path regressions. Per #7744's 4.5C/4.5D boundary, the production root intentionally injects no Podman selection in B4-D; durable ownership follows in B4-E and production Podman registration remains reserved for 4.6D.

Reconstruction Safety

• The original PR and donor heads were preserved before reconstruction under backup/b4d-20260811/* refs.
• The public branch update is a fast-forward from the preserved feat(runtime): add dormant Podman GPU and local inference #8061 head; no commit was rewritten and no force push was used.
• Current main is included through signed merge commits, and the B4-D patch was reconstructed path-by-path instead of cherry-picking stale cross-cutting donors.

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
• Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
• Tests not applicable — justification:
• Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
• Docs not applicable — justification: Podman remains dormant, unregistered, default-off, and intentionally undocumented; no supported product workflow changes.
• 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: Independent exact-tree architecture and security audits found no P0/P1/P2 issue. They verified credential redaction, exact endpoint/CDI/executable authority, evidence-before-rollback ordering, cleanup fail-closed behavior, Docker/current-provider preservation, and dormant registration.
• Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Documentation Writer Review

• Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
• Result: no-docs-needed
• Evidence: Codex Desktop reviewed the complete 57-file exact diff for a4fbaf82e against 06ac446dd after reconciling fix(onboard): preserve truthful review recovery #8724 review recovery. The diff changes dormant injected Podman paths and internal OpenClaw continuity metadata only; production registration remains Docker/Kubernetes, and no documented command, flag, default, configuration, or supported workflow changes.
• Agent: Codex Desktop

DGX Station Hardware Evidence

• Tested on DGX Station
• Tested commit: Protected exact-head E2E pending.
• Station profile/scenario: Podman physical NVIDIA CDI and local-inference qualification.
• Result: Pending protected workflow evidence; no local synthetic result is claimed.
• Supporting evidence: Pending exact-head workflow URL.

Verification

• PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every newly published reconstruction commit appears as Verified in GitHub (valid).
• Pre-commit and pre-push hooks passed. Local whole-range commitlint additionally reports one preserved historical donor style(...) commit; the PR title conforms and GitHub's commit-lint workflow validates the title.
• Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set — the prior B4-D changed-file suite passed 444 tests; the exact continuity fix additionally passed its 8-test regression file, all 128 generator tests, and 57 managed-startup tests. Typechecks, repository checks, catalog checks, test-structure gates, Biome, pre-commit, and pre-push hooks pass.
• Exact-head post-fix(onboard): preserve truthful review recovery #8724 reconciliation passes 250 focused CLI tests across 14 files. The affected integration set passed 132/133 in the host environment; the sole Homebrew trust leak reproduced on exact base, and the isolated test passed on both head and base with host Homebrew excluded from PATH. Both typechecks, repository architecture checks, test size/title gates, Biome, diff hygiene, and pre-commit/pre-push hooks pass. Exact-head CodeRabbit found an assertion typing weakness; the shared mocks now use the real dependency signatures and the negative checks inspect strongly typed call tuples without casts. The four affected handler files pass 78 tests, and CLI typecheck passes on a4fbaf82e. After integrating current main, canonical catalog generation plus the merged-tree CLI set pass 132 tests; adjacent Docker authority, Ollama cleanup, vLLM catalog, platform, runner, and dispatch integration passes 143 tests, with both typechecks green.
• Applicable broad gate passed — exact-head canonical CI, Advisor, CodeRabbit, managed-image/startup lanes, and protected E2E are pending. The local all-project run was non-diagnostic under host oversubscription; relevant failures passed serially, including the current-provider integration with Homebrew excluded from the child PATH.
• Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
• No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
• npm run docs:prepare && npm run docs:validate passed with zero errors and two standard Fern warnings.
• Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
• New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

Additional exact-head local gates: CLI build, standard and strict CLI typechecks, repository checks, config/catalog validation, source-shape budget, test-size budget, semantic E2E phase coverage (125 tests across 81 files), Biome, gitleaks, and docs validation.

E2E evidence from run 31700580588: protected managed-image startup passed on both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 for candidate 3697126. The dependent GPU/local-inference job 94454580082 failed on the known main-wide Hermes Hindsight lazy-dependency path: the managed environment had no pip, and ensurepip failed. Main run 31697332892 job 94445611339 reproduced the same root cause against the newly published amd64 Hermes image, so this is not attributable to #8061. No duplicate E2E run was dispatched by this monitor.

Two sources of truth for the service→health-path authority. The routing module derives the health path per service, and the smoke module derives the same mapping again to validate the injected authority. A new service added on one side silently fails validation on the other.

Split the Ollama-only request assertion out of the matrix.

For nim and vllm, this assertion compares null to null. That case proves nothing. The service-specific claims are already covered by Lines 266-270 and Lines 286-297, so no coverage is lost, but the conditional hides which cases are actually checked.

♻️ Proposed refactor to assert only for the Ollama case

-      expect(
-        service === "ollama"
-          ? (setupCall[7] as { hostLocalInference: HostLocalInferenceStartupSelection })
-              .hostLocalInference.request
-          : null,
-      ).toEqual(
-        service === "ollama"
-          ? expect.objectContaining({
-              service: "ollama",
-              endpoint: expect.objectContaining({ acceleration: "nvidia-gpu", model }),
-            })
-          : null,
-      );
+      if (service === "ollama") {
+        expect(
+          (setupCall[7] as { hostLocalInference: HostLocalInferenceStartupSelection })
+            .hostLocalInference.request,

+            endpoint: expect.objectContaining({ acceleration: "nvidia-gpu", model }),
+          }),
+        );
+      }

Note: the repository growth guardrail counts if statements in test files. If that scan blocks this form, move the Ollama request assertion into a separate it.each over applications instead.

As per path instructions, tests must not contain "conditionals that make a test pass without exercising its claim."

Pass the container name as a positional parameter in both readiness programs.

protectedVllmReadinessCommand and protectedNimReadinessCommand interpolate containerName into the shell program text. Every other command in this file passes untrusted values as positional parameters, including protectedProviderContainerPreflightCommand, protectedProviderContainerCleanupCommand, and protectedProviderFinalInventoryCommand.

The name validation at Lines 643-648 and Lines 680-685 currently blocks shell metacharacters, so this is not exploitable today. The concern is durability: if the Docker name contract regex is later relaxed, these two builders become injection sites while the others stay safe.

Keep the existing name validation. It remains the primary guard.

Prove the executable-authority claim in this test.

The title states that composition does not drop executable authority. The assertions only compare endpointAuthorityId values and show that hostLocalInference.authorityId differs from hostDoctor.authorityId. A change that binds the inference engine to an unrelated authority component would still pass. Assert the expected executable binding in hostLocalInference.authorityId, or rename the title to match the compared identities.

Assert that the seeded labels exist before mutating them.

Surface collected provider messages on the success path.

While a host-local selection is active, error only appends to hostLocalProviderErrors. The collected messages reach the operator only through emitHostLocalInferenceFailure on a failure or reselection path. If a provider module reports an advisory or operator-facing message and then completes successfully, that message is discarded. The same message is printed for non-host-local runs, so host-local onboarding is quieter than the other routes.

Emit the collected messages with the bounded, provider-labelled formatter after the commit sequence completes.
