feat(inference): map Pi model tuning through the managed startup profile - #9274
Conversation
The startup profile declares each agent's capabilities in one table whose contract is that an unadvertised field is rejected rather than silently dropped, but tuning fields, the upstream endpoint, the messaging plan, and the agent-specific input check each enforced that contract with a hardcoded agent name. Pi matched none of them, so it accepted an effort value it has no surface for, accepted an upstream endpoint its mapper discards, bypassed the messaging null rule, and could not be built at all through the shared onboarding builder, which demanded approval state that belongs to Deep Agents Code. Each check now reads the capability table. Pi's context window, output limit, and reasoning support now travel from the environment through the profile to the sandbox model catalog. The generator writes only the fields the pinned Pi release documents for a catalog entry, and omits each one the host leaves unset so the release default applies.

Requesting changes for two blockers confirmed against the current head:\n\n1. Pi reasoning is serialized as 1/0 by the managed-startup mapper, but the Pi generator accepts only true/false. Any explicit reasoning setting aborts configuration generation. Emit canonical true/false strings and add a mapper-to-generator contract test.\n2. The new test callbacks add three loops, causing codebase-growth-guardrails to fail (17 loops versus 14 at base). Move same-behavior iteration into named helpers outside callbacks, or parameterize independent rows.\n\nI verified that the Docker ENV leak suggestion is not applicable: the root-owned managed-startup runtime handoff serializes unsets for configuration-only values and sources them before exec.

Approved after fix commit 02c813a. Pi reasoning now uses the generator's canonical true/false contract, the three newly introduced callback loops were removed, 262 focused tests pass, the changed test file is back to its base loop count, and lint/typecheck/repository checks pass locally.

Summary
The managed startup profile declares each agent's capabilities in one table whose stated contract is that a field an agent does not advertise is rejected rather than silently dropped, but four checks enforced that contract with hardcoded agent names. Pi matched none of them, so it accepted values it has no surface for and could not be built through the shared onboarding builder at all. Each check now reads the capability table, and Pi's context window, output limit, and reasoning support travel from the environment through the profile into the sandbox model catalog.

Changes
Capability-table enforcement. Four checks in the startup-profile boundary now read
MANAGED_STARTUP_PROFILE_CAPABILITIESinstead of naming agents directly. Each table row reproduces the previous hardcoded condition exactly, so every accept and reject outcome for OpenClaw, Hermes, and Deep Agents Code is unchanged.validateTuningreadstuningFields. Pi previously accepted areasoningEffortvalue it has no surface for, and reported the rejection as belonging tolangchain-deepagents-code.validateInferencereadssupportsUpstreamEndpoint. Pi declaresfalseyet accepted anupstreamEndpointUrlthatmapPiProfilethen discarded.messaging.plannull rule readssupportsMessaging. It was hardcoded tolangchain-deepagents-code, so a Pi-shaped plan passed validation and failed later in the mapper.assertAgentSpecificInputgains a Pi branch. Pi fell into the Deep Agents Code tail, sobuildManagedStartupOnboardProfilethrewDCode approval state must be explicitand no Pi startup profile could be built.onboard-profile.tsalso gates web-search intent onwebSearchProvidersrather than a single agent name.Two error texts change as a result. OpenClaw now names only the missing tuning fields instead of always listing all four, and Hermes reports
hermes does not support startup tuning fields: maxTokenswhere it previously reportedhermes supports only contextWindow tuning. The generic unsupported-field check also runs before the Hermes minimum-context-window check, so an input that is both too small and carriesmaxTokensnow reports the unsupported field first. No accept or reject outcome moves, and no documentation page carries these strings.Pi model tuning.
NEMOCLAW_CONTEXT_WINDOW,NEMOCLAW_MAX_TOKENS, andNEMOCLAW_REASONINGnow reach/sandbox/.pi/agent/models.json. The route runs through thepicapability row, the Pi affordance inventory and its builder digest,PROFILE_ENVIRONMENT_INPUTS.pi, the Pi branch ofprofile-builder.ts,mapPiProfile, and threeARG/ENVpairs inagents/pi/Dockerfile.mapPiProfileemits the three into the configuration environment that runs the generator and deletes them from the runtime environment, because the long-running Pi process reads the catalog rather than the environment.agents/pi/generate-config.tswrites onlycontextWindow,maxTokens, andreasoning, the three fields the pinned@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent@0.84.1release documents for a catalog model entry, and omits each field the host leaves unset so the release default applies. That evidence came from installing the exact pinned graph withnpm ci --omit=dev --ignore-scriptsagainstagents/pi/pi-runtime/and reading the shippeddocs/models.md, which satisfies the #7926 requirement that model-specific configuration carry compatibility evidence.NEMOCLAW_REASONING_EFFORTstays rejected for Pi.

Pre-existing environment failures. A broad
src/lib/{actions/sandbox,onboard,agent,state}sweep reports failures in this environment. Stashing the change, rerunning the same 36 files on cleanorigin/main, restoring, and rerunning gives an identical result both ways: 10 files and 46 tests failing, with identical failing-file sets. None belongs to a suite this change touches.Coverage. New behaviour tests:
managed-startup-profile.test.tsadds a Pi profile fixture toVALID_PROFILES, which previously had none, plus per-field tuning acceptance and fail-closed cases for messaging, inference API, dashboard mode, and upstream endpoint.managed-startup-profile-builder.test.tsandmanaged-startup-onboard-profile.test.tsadd Pi inputs, which prove Pi can be built without state another agent owns.managed-startup-agent-environment.test.tsadds the first dedicated Pi mapping test, covering credential-free environments and materials, tuning handed to the generator but withheld from the runtime, and a route change that retains no stale value.test/pi-candidate-runtime-artifacts.test.tsdrives the generator as a process and asserts the written catalog for supplied, unset, and malformed tuning.Out of scope. #7926 also requires streaming and structured tool calls. The pinned Pi release enables both by default on
openai-completions:compat.supportsUsageInStreamingandcompat.supportsFinishReasonboth default to true, and thecompatflags exist to switch capability off for degraded servers, so there is no capability field to validate a model against. Provider-catalog qualification evidence stays with #7928.Signed-off-by: Tinson Lai tinsonl@nvidia.com
