Summary

Model Router lifecycle operations could race across gateways or with another onboarding run. Two processes could contend for one host port, or destroy could stop a replacement router and overwrite its session. Routed setup, resume, and teardown now serialize lifecycle work across the current user's NemoClaw gateways. Destroy also verifies the captured session before changing process or session state.

Related Issue

Follow-up to #9112 and #9098.

Changes

  • During routed onboarding, hold the onboarding session lock, then take the gateway route lock and current-user Model Router port lock through setup and registry publication.
  • During destroy, take the gateway route lock, then the current-user port lock, then try the onboarding session lock without waiting before rechecking the captured identity.
  • Recheck the captured session identity before teardown and use an atomic session comparison-and-swap for cleanup, preserving a concurrently created same-name replacement.
  • Preserve valid router recovery metadata when a same-name replacement uses another port, and limit manual recovery instructions to the router that destroy could not identify or stop.
  • Bound registry peer discovery and represent either an unavailable process inventory or a completed scan with no matching process.
  • Signal only an ownership-verified Model Router process. Locking serializes NemoClaw lifecycle work; teardown also rechecks command-line ownership and refuses PID-based SIGKILL.
  • Cover cross-gateway onboarding, resume, destroy, same-name replacement, lock contention, inconclusive process state, and compiled teardown behavior.
  • Document both lock orders, captured-session checks, and skip-and-warn recovery behavior.

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:
  • 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 Codex Desktop review passed all nine categories for commit ea4def461192227a28d2655fdb8c8aaf452f2c0c: fix(model-router): serialize lifecycle across gateways #9185 (review). All 21 PR-specific files remain byte-identical at 6e4d9a4e4c85. Subsequent additive merges introduced only reviewed PR chore(openshell): trust v0.0.103 release identities #8908 and feat(agents): add the pinned Pi runtime artifacts and candidate image lane #9100 files. The incorporated Pi runtime files do not change Model Router locks, process ownership checks, session state, documentation, or lifecycle tests.
  • 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: docs-updated
  • Evidence: Independently reviewed docs/inference/set-up-model-router.mdx and docs/reference/commands.mdx at 6e4d9a4e4c855499dc549326a7dfd05e9347d137 against base 302e00dab158e5bfd6362a63778bf9247d7bac7a. Both documentation files and all 19 other PR-specific files are byte-identical to reviewed commit 04b5fe8fa43a5551bb8d0355406149e60b063370. The corrected description still matches the implementation. The latest merge adds only PR feat(agents): add the pinned Pi runtime artifacts and candidate image lane #9100 Pi runtime and candidate-image files. Those files do not change the Model Router lifecycle surface. The earlier PR chore(openshell): trust v0.0.103 release identities #8908 trust merge also remains outside this surface. The reviewed docs build passed with 0 errors and 2 existing warnings.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Model Router onboarding and sandbox destruction now coordinate host-wide port locks, gateway registries, onboarding-session compare-and-swap updates, and verified process inspection. Tests and documentation cover replacement sessions, shared ports, orphan recovery, lock contention, and uncertain shutdown states.

Changes

Model Router lifecycle coordination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Host-wide port locking and routed mutation ordering
src/lib/inference/gateway-route-mutation-lock.ts, src/lib/onboard/setup-inference.ts, src/lib/onboard/machine/handlers/provider-inference.ts, src/lib/onboard/...test.ts
Routed onboarding and resume repair now acquire the gateway mutation lock before the shared Model Router port lock.
Session compare-and-swap coordination
src/lib/state/onboard-session.ts, src/lib/state/onboard-session-cross-process-lock.test.ts
Session cleanup validates the expected identity and returns updated, busy, or mismatch without overwriting replacement sessions.
Port and process ownership inspection
src/lib/onboard/model-router-process.ts, src/lib/onboard/model-router.ts, src/lib/onboard/model-router-process.test.ts
Process lookup now distinguishes confirmed, absent, and unavailable inventory states. Router reconciliation uses the resolved port and stops only confirmed orphan processes.
Session-aware sandbox teardown
src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy-preflight.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy-model-router.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy-flow.test.ts, test/helpers/destroy-flow-test-harness.ts, test/package-contract/destroy-model-router-flow.test.ts
Destruction scans host gateway registries, handles same-port peers, verifies process ownership, preserves recovery identity when state is uncertain, and clears matching session data through compare-and-swap.
Lifecycle documentation
docs/inference/set-up-model-router.mdx, docs/reference/commands.mdx
Documentation describes lock ordering, identity checks, peer handling, process verification, recovery behavior, and manual-stop guidance.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 06f7b

The lifecycle serialization and replacement-safety changes are merge-ready after normal checks and review; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Rename ownsOnboardLock; the name states the opposite of the condition.

ownsOnboardLock is true when heldLockFd === null, which means the caller does not already hold the onboarding lock. The flag actually marks "this call acquired the lock and must release it". The behavior is correct, but the name inverts the meaning in concurrency-critical code.

♻️ Proposed rename
-  const ownsOnboardLock = heldLockFd === null;
-  if (ownsOnboardLock) {
+  const acquiredLockHere = heldLockFd === null;
+  if (acquiredLockHere) {
     const lock = acquireOnboardLock(command);
     if (!lock.acquired) return "busy";
   }
   try {
     const current = loadSession();
     if (!current || !matches(current)) return "mismatch";
     const next = mutator(current) || current;
     saveSession(next);
     return "updated";
   } finally {
-    if (ownsOnboardLock) releaseOnboardLock();
+    if (acquiredLockHere) releaseOnboardLock();

Document the process-local reentrancy contract in the doc comment.

The doc comment states the mutation runs "only while no onboarding writer owns its lock". That is accurate for other processes. It is not accurate for the current process: when the caller already holds LOCK_FILE (heldLockFd !== null), the function reuses that lock and mutates. stopModelRouterForDestroyedSandbox in src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy-preflight.ts depends on exactly this reentrant path. State that contract so a future caller does not assume the function always takes the lock itself.

Consider reusing the shared default-port constant.

resolveModelRouterPort() hardcodes 4000. src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy-preflight.ts resolves the same fallback through DEFAULT_MODEL_ROUTER_PORT. Two literals for one lifecycle value can drift, and the port keys the host-wide lifecycle lock. Import the existing constant here instead.

Consider a subsection for the lifecycle-lock behavior.

Lines 35-53 add 19 consecutive statements to "How the Router Fits". The block mixes three topics: onboarding lock order, destroy teardown rules, and operator recovery instructions. The content is accurate against stopModelRouterForDestroyedSandbox. Readers scanning for the recovery steps at Lines 49-51 must read the whole block first.

Add a heading such as ## Router and Sandbox Lifecycle Locks, and place the operator instructions at Lines 49-51 under it as a short list.

The Model Router lifecycle-lock contract is documented twice, nearly verbatim. Both pages now carry the same 17-line description of lock order, session identity rechecks, peer detection, and recovery-identity retention. Two copies of one behavior contract drift when the teardown logic changes.

  • justified — current-user Model Router port lock at docs/inference/set-up-model-router.mdx:42: Keep the modifier because it distinguishes cross-gateway port serialization from gateway-scoped route serialization.
  • define — captured session identity at docs/inference/set-up-model-router.mdx:49: Define this term at first use as the pre-destroy session snapshot used for comparison.
  • define — recovery identity at docs/inference/set-up-model-router.mdx:48: Define this term at first use as retained Model Router process and credential metadata.

Verdict

PASS for commit ea4def461192227a28d2655fdb8c8aaf452f2c0c against base d4ed93ab3d1edda4f5a4ff494b305c63e419cdfb. The change serializes routed onboarding and Model Router teardown, performs session updates under a nonblocking compare-and-swap lock, checks every gateway registry in the active host state root for same-port peers, and preserves process and credential recovery identity whenever session, process, peer, or absence evidence is inconclusive. I found no security issue. This review does not waive documentation-receipt, human-approval, or repository-gate requirements.

Findings

No findings.

Detailed analysis

  1. Secrets and credentials: PASS. The change does not expose router credentials or credential hashes. Inconclusive or failed teardown preserves the recorded credential recovery identity. Diagnostics name only the port and process ID, and do not print environment values.
  2. Input validation and data sanitization: PASS. Router ports are constrained to integer values from 1 through 65,535. Process selection requires the model-router proxy command shape and the exact --port value. Registry enumeration retains existing bounded, no-symlink, no-follow, strict-schema validation.
  3. Authentication and authorization: PASS. Router stop authority requires a live process whose command line still identifies the Model Router on the selected port. Same-port peers in other NemoClaw gateway roots prevent teardown. A replacement onboarding session is not modified.
  4. Dependencies and third-party libraries: PASS. No dependency, image, registry, package, or downloaded artifact changes.
  5. Error handling and logging: PASS. Sandbox deletion remains complete when router cleanup is inconclusive, but the router process and recovery identity are preserved and an ownership-checked recovery procedure is printed. Stop failures do not emit a reusable PID kill command.
  6. Cryptography and data protection: PASS. No cryptographic mechanism or protected-data storage boundary changes.
  7. Configuration and security headers: PASS. The current-user Model Router port lock has a bounded validated port key and uses the existing private lifecycle-lock state. No network, container, browser, or policy control changes.
  8. Security testing: PASS. Tests cover cross-gateway lock serialization, onboarding and destroy lock order, session-lock contention, replacement sessions, same-port peers, different-port peers, unavailable process inventory, healthy ports without a visible process, stop failure, ownership change, no PID-based stop recommendation, and cross-process compare-and-swap behavior. Exact focused validation passed 168 of 168 tests, and the compiled package contract passed 1 of 1.
  9. System security: PASS. Routed onboarding holds session, gateway, and current-user port locks through router setup and registry publication. Destroy holds gateway and port locks, tries the session lock without waiting, and rechecks the captured session before peer scan or stop. The pre-existing SIGTERM delivery remains non-atomic with PID ownership validation, but this diff does not widen that window, rechecks command-line ownership immediately before signaling, and continues to prohibit PID-based SIGKILL.

The implementation and documentation pass exact-commit review at ea4def461, but the PR description needs these corrections before approval:

  • State the two lock orders separately. Routed onboarding already holds the onboarding session lock, then takes the gateway route lock and current-user Model Router port lock through setup and registry publication. Destroy takes the gateway route lock, then the current-user port lock, then tries the onboarding session lock without waiting before rechecking the captured identity.
  • Replace “distinguish missing from unreadable process metadata” with the states the result actually represents: an unavailable process inventory, or a completed scan with no matching process.
  • Qualify the security claim. The locks serialize NemoClaw lifecycle work; teardown also rechecks command-line ownership and refuses PID-based SIGKILL. Do not claim that locking alone prevents signaling every replacement process.
  • Refresh validation to the final evidence: focused CLI tests passed 168/168; the compiled package contract passed 1/1 with isolated HOME and loopback access; CLI type-checking, repository checks, the docs build with 0 errors and 2 existing warnings, Oxfmt, and git diff --check passed.
  • Preserve contributor attribution in the description and add the applicable Carlos Villela and Rebecca Sliter Signed-off-by: declarations beside Prekshi Vyas’s declaration.

The current documentation receipt points to the correct commit and policy blob. Its evidence may remain, or it can use the independently reviewed concise form: docs/inference/set-up-model-router.mdx and docs/reference/commands.mdx document the current-user cross-gateway Model Router port lock, the distinct onboarding and destroy lock orders, captured-session revalidation, conclusive absence proof, fail-safe teardown, and ownership-checked manual recovery.

Self-review of commit 04b5fe8fa43a5551bb8d0355406149e60b063370: I found no correctness or security blocker in the current diff.

The lock ordering is bounded because destroy's onboarding-session lock is non-blocking. Gateway-route and per-port locks cover peer inventory, process teardown, route publication, and session cleanup. Process inventory distinguishes absent from unavailable; a healthy unknown listener and inconclusive inventory both preserve recovery identity. PID teardown remains gated by the existing exact model-router command-line/port ownership check, and compare-and-swap prevents a replacement onboarding session from being cleared.

Security review: secrets PASS; input validation PASS; authentication/authorization PASS; dependencies PASS; error handling PASS; cryptography N/A; configuration/environment PASS; security tests PASS; system security PASS pending final CI.

I cannot formally approve a PR authored by this GitHub account. The latest commit is mergeable and has no failed checks, but PR exact all-agent managed runtime activation is still running, so the merge gate is not yet green.

Reviewed the latest PR commit 4912a46.

The new delta since my prior exact-commit review is the merge of current main at b89a870; the PR unique 21-file Model Router lifecycle diff is unchanged. I also rechecked the current replacement-session test: it supplies expectedSession: reusedNameSession, so the intended sandbox-name compare-and-swap branch is exercised.

My prior nine-category security and correctness assessment remains PASS, with no new finding. I cannot formally approve my own PR. Fresh exact-commit CI is still running, so this comment does not waive repository gates.

Approved. All current checks and the repository merge gate pass. The lifecycle locking, peer detection, session revalidation, recovery behavior, tests, documentation, and independent security review are complete.
