fix(status): keep the recorded API family when only the model drifts by yanyunl1991 · Pull Request #9307 · NVIDIA/NemoClaw

yanyunl1991 · 2026-08-17T10:01:32Z

Summary

Sandbox status probes the live shared inference route with one real inference request, and that request's result decides status --json's exit code. The probe dropped the sandbox's recorded API family whenever the live route was not exactly aligned — including when the shared route drifted by model alone and the provider was unchanged. For a compatible endpoint that family is the only signal that the route speaks openai-responses or anthropic-messages, so a healthy route was probed with the wrong API and reported unhealthy, making the command exit nonzero.

Refs #9302.

Reproduction

Environment

Test machine: our Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64 test host (no GPU)
NemoClaw main at 588bb6db9b1132266840e4604fa16c2a4912cbfc (v0.0.109-96-g588bb6db9), OpenShell CLI 0.0.101
Sandbox: OpenClaw, provider NVIDIA Endpoints (nvidia-prod)
The reporter's platform is Ubuntu 26.04 GPU; this path is CLI/JSON exit-code logic with no GPU or OS-version dependency, but see Platform scope below.

First, what already works on main. Recorded route nvidia-prod/nvidia/nemotron-3-ultra-550b-a55b; the shared route was changed externally with openshell inference set to another route that genuinely serves:

### drift to a healthy route
  exit=0 | drift=yes | live=openai/gpt-oss-20b | inferenceHealth.ok=True | recordedRoute/liveRoute/routeDrift all present

Route drift on its own already exits 0 and already returns all three documented fields, so the drift itself is not the trigger.

The trigger is the API family. With the recorded route on a compatible endpoint that speaks openai-responses, and the shared route drifting by model only, the probe on main is handed no API family at all:

{ "provider": "compatible-endpoint", "model": "live/model", "preferredInferenceApi": null }

getSandboxInferenceConfig resolves null to openai-completions, which for that provider is the wrong endpoint:

compatible-endpoint  recorded=openai-responses     kept=openai-responses     dropped=openai-completions   <-- family changes
compatible-endpoint  recorded=anthropic-messages   kept=anthropic-messages   dropped=openai-completions   <-- family changes
compatible-endpoint  recorded=openai-completions   kept=openai-completions   dropped=openai-completions
nvidia-prod          recorded=openai-responses     kept=openai-completions   dropped=openai-completions

The request then fails against a route that is actually healthy, inferenceHealth.ok goes false, and status --json exits 1.

Observed on main (before fix) — invocation probe input for a model-only drift on a compatible endpoint:

{ "provider": "compatible-endpoint", "model": "live/model", "preferredInferenceApi": null }

Observed on fix/... (after fix)

{ "provider": "compatible-endpoint", "model": "live/model", "preferredInferenceApi": "openai-responses" }

Live re-verification on the test host, with the same sandbox, after the fix:

### drift to a healthy route      -> exit=0 | inferenceHealth.ok=True  | all three fields present
### route aligned                 -> exit=0 | inferenceHealth.ok=True  | all three fields present
### drift to an unusable route    -> exit=1 | inferenceHealth.ok=False | all three fields present

The third row is unchanged on purpose — see Scope below.

Analysis

src/lib/actions/sandbox/status-snapshot.ts builds the route for the in-sandbox invocation probe. It takes provider and model as one pair from the live gateway route, which #8731 introduced deliberately, and then set:

preferredInferenceApi:
  routeDriftPlan?.kind === "aligned" ? (sb?.preferredInferenceApi ?? null) : null,

aligned means provider and model both match. The stated reason for dropping the family is sound but only covers the provider case: a family recorded for one provider must not be carried onto a different provider, because getSandboxInferenceConfig would otherwise route e.g. a persisted openai-responses onto a provider with no /v1/responses endpoint and 404 every request — the same hazard its own comment describes.

That reason does not hold when only the model drifted. The recorded family describes the recorded provider, and that provider is unchanged, so the family still describes the live route exactly. Dropping it there falls back to openai-completions and probes an endpoint the provider does not serve, so a healthy route is reported unhealthy and the command exits nonzero.

Built-in providers hide this: getSandboxInferenceConfig forces the family from the provider for anthropic-prod and for every provider matching shouldSkipResponsesProbe, so nvidia-prod resolves to openai-completions either way. Only providers whose family is carried in the sandbox record — the compatible endpoints — are affected.

Fix

Gate on the provider rather than on full alignment:

-  routeDriftPlan?.kind === "aligned" ? (sb?.preferredInferenceApi ?? null) : null,
+  live.provider === sb?.provider ? (sb?.preferredInferenceApi ?? null) : null,

This is strictly wider than aligned (which already required the provider to match), so the aligned case is unchanged and the cross-provider guard is preserved verbatim: the family is still dropped whenever the provider itself drifted.

Three tests enforce the contract: the recorded API family survives a model-only drift and an aligned route, while a provider change removes it. The first test fails against the earlier logic and passes after the fix.

Scope

This PR uses Refs, not Fixes, because it covers one of two ways the reported symptom can arise and I could not confirm which one the reporter hit.

Measured on main, status --json exits nonzero after a shared-route change in exactly two situations:

The live route is healthy but probed with the wrong API family. That is the defect this PR fixes.
The live route is genuinely unusable (for example the shared route was repointed at a placeholder model to manufacture the mismatch). There inferenceHealth.ok is legitimately false and the nonzero exit is the contract fix(cli): report inference health from a served request #8731 established for [DGX Spark][CLI&UX] inferenceHealth.ok reports true and phase Ready while inference returns HTTP 401 (false health/readiness) #8705 — status sends one real inference request and reports its result.

Worth noting for the second case: the exit code does not withhold the payload. In every failing run above, stdout still carried the complete JSON document with recordedRoute, liveRoute and routeDrift populated, so a caller can read the drift fields even when the command exits 1. If the validation job treats a nonzero exit as "no JSON to parse", it will report the fields as unavailable when they are in fact present.

To confirm whether case 1 is what the pipeline hit, the reporter's provider and --inference-api for the sandbox under test, plus the captured stdout of the failing status --json, would settle it.

Platform scope

Reproduced and verified on our Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64 test host; the reporter's runner is Ubuntu 26.04 GPU. The changed code is provider/API-family resolution in the status snapshot, with no GPU, kernel, or OS-version dependency, but this was not re-run on Ubuntu 26.04.

Changes

src/lib/actions/sandbox/status-snapshot.ts: keep the recorded API family while the live provider matches the recorded provider; drop it only on a provider change.
src/lib/actions/sandbox/status-snapshot-route-drift.test.ts: cover model-only drift, aligned routes, and provider changes at the public health-result boundary.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved inference health checks when only the selected model changes.
- Preserved the recorded API family for the same provider, including compatible response-based routes.
- Prevented outdated API routing from being reused when the provider changes.
- Health is now reported only for structurally valid responses.
Documentation
- Updated sandbox status and inference route documentation to reflect provider and model handling.
Tests
- Added regression coverage for provider and model routing changes.

Sandbox status probes the live shared route with one real inference request, and that request's result decides `status --json`'s exit code. The probe dropped the sandbox's recorded API family whenever the live route was not exactly aligned, including when the shared route drifted by model alone and the provider was unchanged. For a compatible endpoint the recorded family is the only signal that the route speaks openai-responses or anthropic-messages, so dropping it fell back to openai-completions and sent the request to an endpoint the provider does not serve. A healthy route was then reported unhealthy and the command exited nonzero, which is what automation reading the route drift fields observes. Keep the recorded family while the live provider matches the recorded provider, and drop it only when the provider itself changed, so one provider's family is still never carried onto another.

Assert the snapshot health result instead of probe-call arguments.

Lines 219-225 capture the input of an injected probe. Lines 242-266 then assert that internal call shape. This locks the tests to the current implementation.

Make the probe fake accept only the expected route for each case. Then assert the returned SandboxStatusSnapshot.inferenceHealth outcome. This verifies that status --json remains healthy for model-only drift and rejects an incompatible carried-over API family.

Security review for 3f3f6cd3d: PASS

I reviewed the final diff against all nine security categories.

Secrets and credentials: the change carries route metadata only and does not read, store, or expose credentials.
Input validation and data sanitization: the recorded API family is kept only when the live and recorded providers match.
Authentication and authorization: no authentication, authorization, or reviewer-routing behavior changes.
Dependencies and third-party libraries: no dependency changes.
Error handling and logging: an unexpected probe route remains unhealthy, and response-body diagnostics remain unchanged.
Cryptography and data protection: no cryptographic or protected-data flow changes.
Configuration and security headers: no configuration or header changes.
Security testing: regression coverage checks aligned routes, model-only drift, and provider changes at the public inferenceHealth result.
System security: no process, filesystem, sandbox, or network-policy boundary changes.

The automated test finding is addressed. The focused tests pass 11 of 11, repository hooks pass, and the documentation build passes with no errors. No security finding blocks human review.

prekshivyas

Reviewed commit 3f3f6cd. No findings.

Security review:

Secrets and credentials: PASS. The route-family selection does not widen credential access.
Input validation and data sanitization: PASS. The implementation compares canonical provider identifiers before reusing the recorded API family.
Authentication and authorization: PASS. This change adds no authorization path.
Dependencies and third-party libraries: PASS. This change adds no dependency.
Error handling and logging: PASS. Provider drift still drops the recorded family and keeps the probe fail-closed.
Cryptography and data protection: PASS. This change adds no cryptographic or protected-data flow.
Configuration and security headers: PASS. Only a same-provider route can retain its recorded API family.
Security testing: PASS. Tests cover aligned, model-only drift, and provider-drift routes.
System security: PASS. The change preserves the cross-provider boundary and fixes only the model-only drift path.

The documentation matches the implemented route selection. Cross-issue sweep: no adjacent fix or conflict found.
