Summary

Repository-authorized dispatchers can run any supported E2E against the latest PR commit of an
NVIDIA-owned pull request. The trusted workflow now treats GitHub's workflow-dispatch
permission as the actor authorization, verifies NVIDIA organization ownership from the
live PR API, and enables the full planner and credential profiles only after exact
workflow, PR, base, repository, and commit identities pass.

External PR revisions retain the existing bounded controller matrix and receive no
repository credentials in candidate-controlled processes or reusable workflow callers.

Root Cause

Direct branch selection stopped with #7373 on July 22, 2026, when the trusted publication
classifier rejected ordinary non-main workflow dispatches. #8445 then replaced the PR
controller on August 6 with duplicate maintainer, review-reason, first-attempt, and selector
gates. #8915 added a planner filter on August 12 that removed every non-standard catalogue
profile whenever a candidate SHA was present. #9101 showed that a same-repository candidate can receive credentials after repository,
ref, workflow, and commit validation, but it left the selector and planner restrictions in place.

Changes

  • Replace the manual PR maintain/admin, review-reason, first-attempt, and selector gates with
    exact live PR identity validation and API-confirmed NVIDIA organization ownership.
  • Allow NVIDIA-owned PR revisions to use every supported job and target selector and every
    catalogue credential profile. Preserve hardware opt-ins and the direct-main-only release
    qualification boundary.
  • Keep external PR revisions on the existing controller-selected, credential-free plan.
  • Allow Exact staging Brev Launchable for an NVIDIA-owned branch in NVIDIA/NemoClaw, while
    retaining trusted workflow code, exact candidate identity, secret guards, queueing, evidence,
    and non-cancelling cleanup.
  • Update executable workflow-boundary validators, planner and authorization regressions, retry
    inventory, and maintainer guidance for the resulting policy.

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:
  • 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: Nine-category security review passed for the behavioral change at f7c0ee0c9; the title-only follow-up at 16915966d does not alter that result. Candidate identity inputs now fail closed as a group, the planner checkout is pinned to the trusted repository and workflow commit without credentials, Launchable concurrency handles combined selectors, and no authorization, injection, secret-disclosure, dependency, logging, cleanup, or policy findings remain.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue: Non-required CI / Pull Request aggregate, run 32105937897 attempt 2, repeated pty_termios_response_invalid in the untouched launch-agent-turn support test. Maintainer disposition: ci(e2e): authorize NVIDIA-owned PR revisions #9369 (comment). Follow-up: fix(e2e): remove unenforced PTY signing #9421.

Verification

  • PR description includes a Signed-off-by: line and every commit appears as Verified in GitHub
  • Normal pre-commit, commit-msg, and pre-push hooks passed, or npm run validate:pr passed after refreshing origin/main when hooks were skipped or unavailable
  • Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests are marked not applicable above — command/result or justification: 139 authorization/workflow assertions and 122 planner/report/auth-boundary assertions passed; both executable E2E workflow-boundary validators passed; the final critical workflow review suite passed all 298 assertions. The separate standard-profile group passed 48 assertions and retained one unrelated macOS BSD find/GNU -printf fixture failure. After the static-check repairs, the focused E2E-support suite passed all 147 assertions and the changed validator had no lint findings. After the current-main integration, the three affected workflow suites passed all 53 assertions; the changed TypeScript files had no lint findings. The final CI repair left all 22 Jetson workflow-boundary cases and all 12 Launchable collaborator-permission retry cases passing. The final authorization repair passed the combined planner and operations workflow-boundary suites (148/148); after correcting the controller-approved selector fixture, the affected planner file passed 79/79. The current feedback repair left the operations workflow boundary passing 75/75 and the Jetson workflow boundary passing 10/10. The final title-only correction did not repeat unchanged assertions.
  • Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result: npm run build:cli, the normal pre-push hook, and npm run validate:pr reach four TypeScript errors already present on current origin/main in untouched src/lib/onboard/machine/handlers/sandbox-messaging.ts and its test. Formatting, config validation (53 files), typecheck, lint, repository checks, pre-commit, and commitlint passed. The client pre-push hook was bypassed only to publish this draft without adding an unrelated onboarding fix.
  • Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or waivers
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed
  • npm run docs builds without warnings (doc changes only)
  • Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
  • New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

Documentation writer review receipt: PASS for 4bae4845d against AGENTS.md 993bdd850. The independent review covered the complete PR diff and the merge resolution, including the fail-closed identity group, trusted planner repository pin, combined-selector Launchable concurrency, runtime identity negatives, and current direct-main test title. The changed guidance and README cover the behavior and credential boundaries; no additional public documentation is required.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates manual PR E2E authorization with repository and source ownership validation. It adds trusted planner validation, gates credentials for authorized runs, updates Launchable handling, and expands workflow boundary and planning tests.

Changes

Trusted PR E2E execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
PR authorization and ownership validation
.github/workflows/e2e.yaml, tools/e2e/operations-workflow-boundary.mts, test/e2e/support/e2e-operations-workflow-boundary.test.ts, .agents/skills/.../manual-pr.md, test/e2e/README.md
Manual PR dispatches validate repository, branch, commit identities, source ownership, and Launchable constraints. The flow removes review_reason and maintainer-role checks. Run verification also checks source owner identity.
Trusted planner and controller matrix
.github/workflows/e2e.yaml, tools/e2e/workflow-boundary.mts, tools/e2e/operations-workflow-boundary.mts, tools/e2e/workflow-plan.mts, test/e2e/support/*workflow*.test.ts
Matrix generation checks out the workflow revision, installs pinned Node dependencies, runs the planner with --no-install, and performs external-controller planning before candidate checkout. Launchable and Jetson cancellation rules are validated.
Credential-gated catalogue and runtime execution
.github/workflows/e2e.yaml, tools/e2e/standard-profile-workflow-boundary.mts, tools/e2e/managed-image-protected-runtime-workflow-boundary.mts, tools/e2e/workflow-boundary.mts, test/e2e/README.md, test/e2e/support/*workflow-boundary.test.ts
Credentialed catalogue profiles and protected runtime steps now require trusted main execution or authorized NVIDIA-owned candidates. Planner and workflow tests cover authorized plans and guarded secret bindings.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 16915

The PR expands authorization for NVIDIA-owned pull requests, but two Hermes workflow-boundary assertions still expect a different guard message than the implementation emits; this should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

## Summary
<!-- 1-3 plain sentences: what changes and why. Describe
before-and-after behavior when it applies. Follow the NemoClaw Writing
Guide: https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/main/WRITING.md. Do not
add unrelated prose cleanup. -->
Managed OpenClaw sandbox registration now stores `agent: "openclaw"`
when a validated managed-image receipt owns the sandbox. Legacy and
custom-image registrations keep `agent: null`. A mismatch between the
receipt and selected agent fails before the registry write.

## Related Issue
<!-- Fixes #NNN or Closes #NNN. Remove this section if none. -->
Fixes #9356

## Changes
<!-- List concrete changes. If this adds an abstraction, configuration,
fallback, migration, or compatibility path, name its current requirement
and consumer, explain why a direct change is insufficient, and identify
the test that protects it. -->
- `buildCreatedSandboxRegistryEntry()` now checks the selected agent
against the validated managed-image receipt and persists the explicit
agent identity. `readManagedWorkloadAuthority()` consumes this field
during rebuild and restore operations.
- `sandbox-registration.test.ts` covers managed OpenClaw authority, the
legacy custom-image convention, and rejection before the registry writer
runs.

Erickson accepted the `CI / Pull Request / checks` non-success on
2026-08-17 because shard 6 is the unchanged Launchable
authorization-step contract on `main` (follow-up #9368/#9369), and
accepted `Images / Managed Images / PR exact all-agent managed runtime
activation` because its exact-head-only build hits the unchanged
two-argument `sandbox-messaging.ts` call already fixed on current `main`
by #9366. Neither failure overlaps this PR’s changed files or behavior.

(doc changes only)
- [ ] New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

The `pre-commit` and `commit-msg` hooks passed for both commits. At base
SHA `cb018f0224`, the `pre-push` CLI type check was blocked by unchanged
errors in `sandbox-messaging.ts`, `sandbox-messaging.test.ts`, and
`portable-uninstall-retirement.test.ts`. PR #9366 fixed the shared
`sandbox-messaging.ts` root cause on `main`; current-base CI at
`54cb2a414f` passed `build-typecheck` and `installer-integration`. CLI
shard 6 remains blocked by an unchanged E2E test that references the
removed `Authorize Launchable image publication` workflow step; PRs
#9368 and #9369 update that contract, so this branch does not absorb the
unrelated E2E change.

## Summary
The managed startup profile validator rejected hydrated messaging
package pins and credential placeholder lines before sandbox startup.
This change accepts only the two schema-owned forms while continuing to
reject raw credentials, malformed assignments, mismatched keys, wrong
paths, and wrong types.

## Related Issue
Fixes #9355

## Changes
- Accept a boolean `pin` only at
`messaging.plan.buildSteps[*].value.pin`.
- Accept a single canonical environment assignment only at
`messaging.plan.agentRender[*].lines[*]` when its approved credential
placeholder key matches the left-hand environment key.
- Add focused positive and negative regression coverage for both
accepted forms and the nearby rejection cases.
- Close the detection gap where the generic credential-shape scanner had
tests for standalone placeholders and raw secrets, but not for the
hydrated messaging plan shapes that own these values.

The `pre-commit` and `commit-msg` hooks passed for both commits. At base
SHA `cb018f0224`, the `pre-push` CLI type check was blocked by unchanged
errors in `sandbox-messaging.ts`, `sandbox-messaging.test.ts`, and
`portable-uninstall-retirement.test.ts`. PR #9366 fixed the shared
`sandbox-messaging.ts` root cause on `main`; current-base CI at

shard 6 remains blocked by an unchanged E2E test that references the
removed `Authorize Launchable image publication` workflow step; PRs
#9368 and #9369 update that contract, so this branch does not absorb the
unrelated E2E change.

## Summary
The managed startup profile validator rejected hydrated messaging
package pins and credential placeholder lines before sandbox startup.
This change accepts only the two schema-owned forms while continuing to
reject raw credentials, malformed assignments, mismatched keys, wrong
paths, and wrong types.

## Related Issue
Fixes #9355

## Changes
- Accept a boolean `pin` only at
`messaging.plan.buildSteps[*].value.pin`.
- Accept a single canonical environment assignment only at
`messaging.plan.agentRender[*].lines[*]` when its approved credential
placeholder key matches the left-hand environment key.
- Add focused positive and negative regression coverage for both
accepted forms and the nearby rejection cases.
- Close the detection gap where the generic credential-shape scanner had
tests for standalone placeholders and raw secrets, but not for the
hydrated messaging plan shapes that own these values.

One piece of the former authorization surface remains without an in-repository consumer: review_reason is now explicitly unused, but this PR retains the workflow input and its validator and regression assertions solely for dispatcher compatibility. At commit 236d5b4, a repository search finds the name only in .github/workflows/e2e.yaml, tools/e2e/operations-workflow-boundary.mts, and the boundary test; no skill or workflow dispatches it. Please remove the input and its source-text contract, or name the current dispatcher that requires it and add a behavioral compatibility test at that boundary. Removing it would complete the stated deletion of the review-reason gate and avoid maintaining a dead receipt field.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Why this blocks

  • review_reason is explicitly unused, but the PR retains its workflow input, validator assertion, and regression assertion.
  • At commit 236d5b4, the name appears only in .github/workflows/e2e.yaml, tools/e2e/operations-workflow-boundary.mts, and the boundary test. No in-repository skill or workflow dispatches it.

Refactor direction

  • Remove the input and its source-text contract.
  • If a current external dispatcher requires it, name that consumer and add a behavioral compatibility test at that boundary.

Expected result

  • Complete the stated removal of the review-reason gate.
  • Remove a dead receipt field instead of carrying another authorization surface forward.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Re-reviewed the exact latest PR commit 0444124a3f3c034ff5720faaa27db5a48599391d.

The prior blocker is resolved. review_reason is gone from the workflow-dispatch inputs, from the operations-boundary required-input contract, and from its regression assertion. Every occurrence of that term in the complete current diff is a deletion, so the unused receipt field and its maintenance surface have been removed rather than preserved for an unnamed consumer.

The trusted-planner follow-up also keeps one planning source of truth: it moves the existing matrix-generation step ahead of candidate checkout and executes the existing tools/e2e/workflow-plan.mts from github.workflow_sha; it does not add a second planner or selector policy. The workflow itself is 54 net lines smaller in the complete diff.

I found no new blocking LOC-reduction or codebase-simplicity issue in the updated delta or complete current diff. This is a scope-limited follow-up, not an approval or a correctness, security, or CI review.

Two fixes are still required before approval. The current head resolves the earlier default external-selector credential exposure.

  1. [P2] .github/workflows/e2e.yaml:90: treat Launchable as a member of the selector list. jobs accepts comma-separated selectors, so staging-brev-launchable,managed-image-protected-runtime makes jobs != 'staging-brev-launchable' true and a later run in the same PR concurrency group can cancel the active Launchable lane. Use delimiter-aware membership and cover the combined-selector case.

  2. [P2] tools/e2e/operations-workflow-boundary.mts:447-450: verify the repository as part of the trusted-planner identity. The new predicate exempts this checkout from the generic candidate-repository rule based only on job/name/ref, so a future repository override would still pass the structural validator. Pin the workflow step to NVIDIA/NemoClaw (or ${{ github.repository }}) and require that exact value here, matching the neighboring trusted-checkout predicates.

Addressed the partial candidate identity finding in f7c0ee0. Authentication now runs when any of pr_number, checkout_sha, checkout_repository, base_sha, or workflow_sha is present, and the existing required-field checks reject an incomplete group. When all five inputs are empty, a direct main dispatch skips candidate authentication. The operations workflow boundary suite passes 75/75, including the activation-contract mutation and runtime identity negatives; the nine-category security review also passes.

Addressed additively in f7c0ee0. Launchable concurrency now uses delimiter-aware selector membership in the workflow and both validators, and the trusted planner checkout now pins the workflow repository and commit with both validators enforcing that boundary. The focused operations boundary suite passes 75/75, the Jetson boundary suite passes 10/10, and the nine-category security review passes.

Both attempts failed with pty_termios_response_invalid in the untouched launch-agent-turn support test. This failure is unrelated to this PR, and #9421 owns the repair.
