Summary

Personal is an enforced profile contract across every agent and onboarding path: whenever Personal is selected or carried forward, NemoClaw applies personal-open-internet. Any sandbox tool can reach any resolved public or private destination on ports 80 and 443, while OpenShell's hard blocks for unspecified, loopback, and link-local targets remain in force.

Fresh Portable onboarding selects Personal and treats an explicit preset list as additional intent rather than allowing it to replace the profile's required web authority. An agent can therefore choose a public stock-quote URL from model knowledge and use an ordinary keyless HTTPS fetch without Brave or Tavily.

This is a NemoClaw-only correction. It does not patch or change OpenShell, the OpenShell pin, or LKG inputs. Provider-free web_search remains deferred.

Related Issue

Fixes #9206

This maintainer-directed scope supersedes the issue's earlier narrow-default decision: the supported Personal profile and fresh Portable default are intentionally restored.

Changes

  • Require personal-open-internet whenever Personal is active, independent of agent, including suggested, custom, interactive, skip, resume, and rebuild flows.
  • Make fresh Portable onboarding select Personal and inject its required preset ahead of any explicit additional presets.
  • Keep Personal as the sole composed authority for ports 80 and 443 by removing overlapping exact web endpoints, splitting mixed-port entries, preserving non-web endpoints, and failing closed if the reviewed entry drifts.
  • Prevent in-place removal of Personal; switching to a narrower trust boundary requires creating a new sandbox.
  • Preserve non-web agent requirements while removing web routes already superseded by Personal.
  • Add cross-agent coverage for every current agent plus a future-agent case, and add a real Personal-profile C4 scenario where a representative agent selects a recent public HTTPS source and returns an NVIDIA price, date, and URL using only native keyless fetch.
  • Document that Personal is mandatory across agents and onboarders, including Portable, while provider-backed search remains a separate opt-in.

  • Applicable broad gate passed — local npm run test:fast is not claimed because it read invalid pre-existing host sandbox state and produced unrelated cross-suite failures/timeouts; exact-head CI is required
  • Trusted exact-head Personal/OpenClaw C4 passed: run 32084959556, job 95557476815, artifact 9306693456. The agent returned NVDA $225.01 as of 2026-08-17T20:00:00Z from direct HTTPS query1.finance.yahoo.com, with one qualifying native web_fetch and zero forbidden tools/providers or control-target violations.
  • Live Portable rootless-Podman execution is not claimed; fresh Portable Personal selection and enforcement are covered by source, integration, and installer tests while Portable profile has inconsistent runtime contracts across bootstrap, build, resume, and image lifecycle #9006 tracks that runner/runtime blocker.
  • Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR changes Personal to use only personal-open-internet, normalizes overlapping web routes, enforces the preset across onboarding flows, and adds evidence-verified OpenClaw stock-price coverage.

Changes

Personal policy composition

Layer / File(s) Summary
Personal policy normalization and reserved keys
src/lib/policy/*, src/lib/policy/tiers.ts, nemoclaw-blueprint/policies/tiers.yaml, test/personal-open-internet-policy.test.ts, test/effective-policy-contracts.test.ts, test/policy-tiers.test.ts, test/policy-openclaw-npm-compatibility.test.ts
Personal normalization removes overlapping ports 80/443 while preserving non-web content. The Personal preset cannot be removed or spoofed.
Policy documentation
docs/reference/commands.mdx, docs/reference/network-policies.mdx, docs/security/best-practices.mdx, test/e2e/README.md
Documentation describes Personal defaults, explicit preset behavior, route replacement, sandbox replacement, and evidence boundaries.

Onboarding controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fresh defaults and preset suppression
src/lib/onboard/session-bootstrap.ts, src/lib/onboard/policy-selection.ts, src/lib/onboard/policy-tier-suppression.ts, src/lib/onboard/policy-preset-reconciliation.ts, src/lib/onboard/policy-resume-selection.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-backup-phase.ts, src/lib/onboard/portable-environment-scope.test.ts, test/onboard-policy-suggestions.test.ts, test/policy-tiers-onboard.test.ts, src/lib/onboard/policy-resume-selection.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/rebuild-backup-phase.test.ts
Fresh portable onboarding uses Personal mode. Required presets are restored during selection, resume, reconciliation, and rebuild. Personal suppresses incompatible agent-required presets.
Removal and tier-transition safeguards
src/lib/onboard/policy-selection.ts, src/lib/onboard/machine/handlers/policies.ts, test/policy-tiers-onboard.test.ts
Resume, interactive, and non-interactive flows reject removal or replacement of an active Personal policy before state updates or synchronization.

OpenClaw evidence validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Evidence contracts and reducers
test/e2e/live/common-egress-agent-helpers.ts, test/e2e/support/common-egress-agent-helpers.test.ts
The helpers reduce bounded JSONL evidence, reject private or provider-backed targets, validate public HTTPS fetches, and match NVDA replies by source, price, symbol, and freshness.
Live Personal scenario
test/e2e/live/common-egress-agent.test.ts, test/e2e/live/openclaw-agent-assertion.ts, test/e2e/live/personal-egress-live-proof.ts, test/e2e/live/registry-targets.test.ts
The live scenario verifies Personal policy ownership, keyless public access, blocked internal targets, and an evidence-backed OpenClaw NVDA fetch.
Catalogue and workflow wiring
tools/e2e/target-catalogue.mts, tools/e2e/workflow-plan.mts, test/e2e/registry/*, test/e2e/support/e2e-workflow.test.ts, test/e2e/support/workflow-plan.test.ts, test/e2e/mock-parity.json
The new Personal stock-price target has dedicated selection, shard, environment, ownership, registry, and fast-test mapping coverage.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3d711

The PR restores Personal open-web access, while two bounded test-integration risks remain: a missing-secret fixture may fail instead of skip, and the personal stock-fetch scenario may be omitted from catalogue-selected coverage. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

Drop the exact CIDR count assertion.

expect(allowedIps.size).toBe(29) locks the test to the current preset content. A legitimate CIDR addition or subnet split then fails with no indication of which security property broke. Lines 89-92 and lines 93-95 already express the real contract: no catch-all or blocked range, and representative public and private addresses match.

As per path instructions, tests should avoid "private-shape" assertions and should not lock in implementation detail.

Reuse the exported preset-name constant instead of redefining it.

Handle drift according to the caller contract.

applyPresetContent runs normalizePersonalOpenInternetPolicy before setPolicyFile, so nonFatal: true does not handle this exception. The MCP bridge expects a boolean result but does not catch the exception. Route normalization failures through the non-fatal diagnostic path and return false.

applyPresets is called through waitForPolicyMutation, which catches and rethrows this failure. Keep that fail-closed behavior.

Assert the removed web keys, not only the retained ones.

expect.arrayContaining at line 120 passes whenever existing and personal_open_internet are present. It does not prove that normalization removed the overlapping web presets. This test composes every advertised preset, so it is the broadest available check of the new normalization contract.

Add a negative assertion for keys that Personal must supersede, for example npm_yarn and tavily. test/personal-open-internet-policy.test.ts lines 132-142 covers this for a smaller preset set only.

As per path instructions, tests should "prefer observable outcomes through the public boundary" and flag "conditionals that make a test pass without exercising its claim"; the claim in the title is that Personal becomes the sole web authority.

PRA-1 Blocker — Restore the accepted Portable policy default or record its supersession

  • Location: src/lib/onboard/session-bootstrap.ts:222
  • Category: acceptance
  • Problem: Fresh Portable onboarding now sets the Personal policy tier. Binding issue Portable onboarding does not prove default policy application finality #9206 requires absent, empty, and whitespace-only NEMOCLAW_POLICY_PRESETS values to select exactly weather, public-reference, and github.

Warnings

Warnings do not block.

PRA-2 Warning — Document the Personal policy normalizer lifecycle

  • Location: src/lib/policy/index.ts:628
  • Category: docs
  • Problem: The new Personal policy normalizer depends on an asserted OpenShell 0.0.101 composition limitation, but its comment does not identify an upstream evidence source, explain why the authoritative OpenShell boundary cannot resolve it, or state a removal condition.
  • Impact: Maintainers cannot determine when an upstream OpenShell change makes this policy-rewriting workaround obsolete or unsafe to retain.
  • Recommendation: Add the upstream evidence reference, explain why NemoClaw cannot fix the behavior at the OpenShell boundary, name the current regression tests, and state the condition that permits removal.
  • Verification: Read the normalizer comment with its upstream OpenShell issue, release note, or checked-in compatibility evidence and confirm the stated removal condition.
  • Test coverage: Retain the Personal composition and drift tests; add an integration regression test for the upstream-compatible path when OpenShell removes the endpoint-metadata limitation.
  • Evidence: src/lib/policy/index.ts:628-639 introduces normalizePersonalOpenInternetPolicy as an OpenShell 0.0.101 compatibility workaround. test/personal-open-internet-policy.test.ts:125-207 covers current composition and drift behavior. No upstream OpenShell evidence or removal condition appears in the changed normalizer comment.

Remove fully superseded preset attribution without a redundant gateway write.

Normalize removal output so legacy npm routes cannot reappear beside Personal.

Reviewed exact head 7e34d992feb8725de4ef24b43c4e8397b1827991.

Requesting changes for three blocking correctness/security-boundary issues:

  1. src/lib/onboard/session-bootstrap.ts: fresh Portable blank intent now grants the broad Personal route. The linked issue #9206 still explicitly requires exactly weather,public-reference,github and denies broad unapproved network access. The PR says a maintainer-directed decision supersedes that contract, but neither the issue body nor its only comment records that replacement. Restore the accepted default or link the recorded maintainer decision that changes #9206 before merging.

  2. src/lib/onboard/policy-selection.ts:537-559: skip mode prunes unavailable presets and adds the Personal requirement, but never calls filterSuppressedAgentRequiredPresets. An existing Personal OpenClaw sandbox with personal-open-internet and openclaw-pricing therefore keeps the suppressed attribution. If that list is unchanged, the branch returns without syncPresetSelection, so it also never normalizes the live document to the reviewed Personal entry or removes overlapping port-80/443 endpoints. Pass the retained set through the tier suppression filter and add a skip-mode migration regression covering existing Personal plus openclaw-pricing.

  3. src/lib/policy/index.ts:2168-2194: applyPresetContent(..., { nonFatal: true }) can now throw while mergePresetIntoPolicy / normalizePersonalOpenInternetPolicy validates a drifted reserved Personal entry. MCP, snapshot, and rebuild lifecycle callers use the boolean contract to run compensation. Convert this normalization failure to a logged false for non-fatal callers while retaining the fail-closed throw for ordinary batch application, and add a regression for a drifted Personal entry.

Security review:

  1. Secrets/credentials: PASS — no secrets are added; the live E2E remains provider-free for web access.
  2. Input validation/sanitization: PASS — the reviewed Personal key is reserved, custom spoofing is rejected, and evidence parsing is bounded.
  3. Authentication/authorization: FAIL — the accepted Portable authorization scope is broadened without a recorded replacement decision in #9206.
  4. Dependencies: PASS — no dependency change.
  5. Error handling/logging: FAIL — the new normalization throw escapes nonFatal lifecycle callers instead of returning their required failure result.
  6. Cryptography/data protection: PASS — no cryptographic or protected-data change.
  7. Configuration/security headers: FAIL — skip mode can retain stale/superseded registry state and bypass exact Personal policy normalization.
  8. Security testing: FAIL — no skip-mode migration test covers existing Personal plus openclaw-pricing, and no non-fatal drift regression covers lifecycle compensation.
  9. System security: FAIL — broad default egress conflicts with the linked acceptance boundary, and one onboarding path does not converge existing policy state to the claimed sole authority.

Cross-issue sweep: no additional open issue requiring a link or new filing was found.

Maintainer scope decision for this PR:

  • Personal is intentionally the universal personal-use profile: any agent, any executable, and any public destination on TCP 80/443, while loopback and link-local destinations remain denied.
  • Fresh Portable onboarding intentionally selects Personal and inherits that same contract. This supersedes the earlier narrow blank-Portable proposal in Portable onboarding does not prove default policy application finality #9206.
  • This is a NemoClaw-side policy/onboarding change. No OpenShell change or OpenShell PR is required.

Relevant review feedback is addressed on the verified head f98eb83: skip-mode suppression, nonfatal drift compensation, canonical preset naming, explicit superseded-policy assertions, owning-path existence, mandatory (non-skippable) Personal proof credentials, bounded URL-safe artifacts, and the conditional-growth guardrail.

The trusted exact-head Personal/NVDA E2E dispatch is next. I am not claiming the current Portable rootless-Podman lane passed: its ubuntu-latest runtime fails before onboarding (tracked by #9006), so Portable remains source/integration-proven here until that runner/runtime lane can execute the real installer end to end.

Exact-head Personal stock-fetch proof passed.

The first attempt passed with one native web_fetch call, one qualifying bounded result, and zero forbidden tools, provider mentions, control-target violations, or errors. The same target also proved the reviewed Personal policy entry, wildcard executable authority on ports 80/443, public HTTPS through both curl and Python, and loopback/link-local denial.

This is the representative live Personal/OpenClaw proof. Fresh Portable selection and enforcement are covered by source, integration, and installer tests; this comment does not claim a live Portable rootless-Podman run.
