Summary

The Deep Agents Code amd64 live job now selects the exact published linux/amd64 platform reference from the candidate-bound publication contract instead of using the multi-platform index. After merge, the producer will emit the same platform reference. Manual PR E2E passes the contract-selected reference explicitly to initial onboarding and fresh re-onboarding. Final evidence remains bound to the selected candidate, the complete publication contract, the official repository, the platform, and its exact digest.

Related Issue

Fixes #9386

E2E root cause

The publication validator exported the multi-platform index as base_ref, while final qualification requires the locally recorded platform manifest. Existing tests accepted the index at the publication boundary and then supplied fabricated amd64 runtime metadata, so they did not exercise the handoff that failed live.

The third recurrence, for main commit 4a179614ac8a07273fce8f1cb679b33c0444f5c4, first failed published-base import proof with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'deepagents'. Fallback onboarding and all target-specific cloud checks then passed before final evidence immediately reproduced the same missing-metadata signature. It is additional evidence for this root cause, not a separate claim.

The fourth automatic recurrence, for main commit fb01aff8ed67596dcdfe38cb6f5dccdcba301a33, used index digest sha256:772546… with amd64 child sha256:5331ab…. Phases 1–7 passed, including onboarding, lifecycle, every cloud check, and fresh re-onboarding. Phase 9 alone failed with Deep Agents Code sandbox image is missing base resolution metadata before cleanup passed. The earlier ModuleNotFoundError was the expected negative import gate, whose step succeeded. This is confirmed pre-fix recurrence evidence, not a separate claim.

Manual PR validation boundary

The first exact-candidate manual run, https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32094360622, checked out candidate 5c164b9c79cb3b7cb65f7ed1f0b99f026152c097 but used the trusted workflow from base commit fb01aff8ed67596dcdfe38cb6f5dccdcba301a33. Its Deep Agents Code job, https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32094360622/job/95582856763, failed phase 1 before onboarding because the trusted helper emitted the index while that candidate required the amd64 platform reference. This was trusted-workflow/candidate selection skew, not the original runtime metadata failure. The follow-up makes the validated candidate-bound contract authoritative for platform selection and passes its exact amd64 reference explicitly to both onboarding consumers without mutating ambient process state. This failed run does not count toward the two-pass acceptance criterion.

Changes

  • Validate imports from and export the contract's exact linux/amd64 platform reference.
  • Select the fixed platform reference from the complete candidate-bound contract when publication evidence exists.
  • Pass that exact reference explicitly to initial onboarding and fresh re-onboarding; retain the ambient reference only for local runs without publication evidence.
  • Require completed-image evidence to match the same platform reference.
  • Reuse one target-platform constant across Docker validation, publication output, and final evidence checks.
  • Keep the complete multi-platform index contract as candidate and publication authority.
  • Cover the emitted reference, trusted-workflow/candidate revision skew, both onboarding consumers, invalid explicit references, missing metadata, and opposite-platform evidence.

Independent review receipts

Sensitive-path review

PASS. Reviewed commit ce1a03d80d55ee726242f66a72313a5d8eadd31a and its complete nine-file diff against base SHA fb01aff8ed67596dcdfe38cb6f5dccdcba301a33. Publication provenance, candidate SHA, the official repository, immutable digests, fixed linux/amd64 selection, explicit consumer propagation, final runtime evidence, and retention of the complete index contract remain fail closed. The change does not mutate process-global state or introduce an injection path. Independent verification passed 100 focused tests, 621 changed tests, and 22 growth tests.

Documentation writer review

PASS. Reviewed commit ce1a03d80d55ee726242f66a72313a5d8eadd31a and its complete nine-file diff against base SHA fb01aff8ed67596dcdfe38cb6f5dccdcba301a33. No public or owning E2E documentation update is required because the change is internal publication-evidence plumbing and does not change a supported command, artifact schema, dispatch procedure, credential procedure, or operator action. Changed identifiers, test titles, and error text follow NemoClaw writing rules. Independent git diff --check passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The contract now emits the published Linux/AMD64 image reference. Runtime evidence validates the target platform before digest checks. Registry onboarding and cloud checks receive the selected reference. Tests cover reference forwarding and metadata rejection.

Changes

Dcode base-image validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform-specific contract reference
tools/e2e/dcode-base-image-contract.mts, test/e2e/support/dcode-base-image-contract.test.ts
The contract defines linux/amd64 as the target platform and emits its platform reference. Tests verify Docker import validation and contract output.
Selected reference forwarding
test/e2e/live/dcode-base-image-runtime-evidence.ts, test/e2e/live/registry-targets.test.ts, test/e2e/fixtures/phases/onboarding.ts, test/e2e/live/cloud-experimental-checks.ts
Publication evidence supplies an explicit base-image reference to onboarding and cloud checks. Explicit references take precedence over ambient environment values.
Runtime evidence validation
test/e2e/live/dcode-base-image-runtime-evidence.ts, test/e2e/support/dcode-base-image-runtime-evidence.test.ts
Runtime evidence uses the Linux/AMD64 digest and reference. Tests cover published-reference selection and opposite-platform metadata mismatches.
Reference forwarding validation
test/e2e/support/e2e-phase-onboarding.test.ts, test/e2e/support/platform-parity-cloud-experimental.test.ts
Tests verify explicit reference precedence and early rejection of invalid references.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 00ea6

The change forwards the published linux/amd64 reference through onboarding, reducing the platform-mismatch failure mode. Merge is reasonable with owner awareness that a boundary test should explicitly verify forwarding from the candidate contract.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Why this blocks

  • The fixed target still has three representations. DCODE_BASE_IMAGE_TARGET_PLATFORM is declared in tools/e2e/dcode-base-image-contract.mts, while the Docker invocation repeats linux/amd64.
  • Runtime evidence remains generic through platformFor(), then rejects every non-target value immediately afterward.
  • The new success test repeats the default AMD64 environment and verifies fixture data already covered by the following main-output test.

Refactor direction

  • Use DCODE_BASE_IMAGE_TARGET_PLATFORM in the Docker arguments.
  • Delete platformFor() and the DcodePlatform import from runtime evidence, compare ${metadata.os}/${metadata.architecture} with the target once, and index both contract maps with the target constant.
  • Delete the redundant success test while retaining the main-output test and rejection table.

Expected result

One source of truth for the live target platform, no two-platform compatibility branch in a fixed-platform verifier, and roughly 15-20 fewer lines with the same behavior and stronger drift resistance.

GitHub does not permit an author to request changes on their own PR, so this is posted as blocking review feedback.

Addressed the simplicity review in commit 5c164b9c79cb3b7cb65f7ed1f0b99f026152c097: the fixed DCode target constant now controls Docker validation and final evidence, the generic two-platform verifier branch is removed, and the redundant parser success test is removed. Focused E2E-support verification passes 29 tests, and the exact-commit correctness, sensitive-path, and documentation reviews pass.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Re-reviewed the exact latest PR commit 5c164b9c79cb3b7cb65f7ed1f0b99f026152c097.

The prior fixed-platform duplication blocker is resolved. DCODE_BASE_IMAGE_TARGET_PLATFORM now owns the Docker validation, publication, and runtime checks; platformFor() and DcodePlatform are gone; the verifier compares directly with the fixed target; and the redundant success test was removed.

I found no new blocking LOC-reduction or codebase-simplicity finding at this commit. This is a scope-limited follow-up, not an approval or a correctness, security, or CI review.

GitHub does not allow an author to submit a formal review on their own PR, so this follow-up is recorded as a PR comment.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Re-reviewed the exact latest PR commit ce1a03d80d55ee726242f66a72313a5d8eadd31a.

The prior fixed-platform consolidation remains intact. DCODE_BASE_IMAGE_TARGET_PLATFORM still owns Docker validation, publication selection, and final runtime evidence. The latest commit removes the incorrect equality check against the ambient workflow reference, selects the amd64 manifest once from the validated publication contract, and carries that value through onboarding and the fresh re-onboard check. It does not restore the generic two-platform runtime branch or a second platform constant.

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

Test candidate/workflow skew at the forwarding boundary.

parseDcodeBaseImagePublicationEvidence() rejects INDEX_REFERENCE before it returns a contract. Do not use an index-valued ambient reference in this parser test. dcodeBaseImageReferenceForContract() only reads the contract and does not update environment; Line 88 checks the fixture default. Remove that tautological assertion. Cover INDEX_REFERENCE to AMD64_REFERENCE forwarding at the onboarding or buildCloudExperimentalCommandEnv() boundary, and retain the parser rejection at Lines 116–125. Focused tests do not replace a later passing linked E2E target run for the repaired candidate.

## Summary

Preserve Deep Agents Code base-resolution metadata when Docker reports a
different same-repository `RepoDigest` for an exact platform-digest
override. The resolver now retains the caller's immutable platform ref
through both digest selection and finalization, so the final sandbox
Dockerfile receives the required provenance label.

Exact-main failures before this fix selected the correct `linux/amd64`
platform digest, completed the lifecycle, then failed final evidence
with `Deep Agents Code sandbox image is missing base resolution

symptom and exposed the remaining handoff: Docker reported another
repository digest, `getRepoDigest()` adopted it, and the finalizer
independently normalized to it again. The replacement ref could not
supply the exact inspected identity, so metadata was dropped:

## Related Issue

Fixes #9386
Follow-up to #9400 and #9392

## Changes

- Preserve an exact same-repository SHA-256 override instead of
replacing it with a different digest from Docker's `RepoDigests` list.
- Prevent finalization from independently rewriting that exact override.
- Treat an exact immutable digest ref plus matching local image identity
as valid reuse/rebuild proof when Docker omits or reports another
`RepoDigest`.
- Keep existing RepoDigest normalization for Dockerfile pins, version
tags, and other non-override resolution paths.
- Continue rejecting sparse RepoDigest evidence for mutable tags and
non-exact refs.
- Add regression coverage for the live metadata-loss sequence, omitted
`RepoDigests`, malformed JSON, and later exact-ref validation.

<!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 -->

The Deep Agents Code amd64 live job now selects the exact published
`linux/amd64` platform reference from the candidate-bound publication
contract instead of using the multi-platform index. After merge, the
producer will emit the same platform reference. Manual PR E2E passes the
contract-selected reference explicitly to initial onboarding and fresh
re-onboarding. Final evidence remains bound to the selected candidate,
the complete publication contract, the official repository, the
platform, and its exact digest.

Fixes #9386

- Root-cause key: `DCode final qualification / publication-to-onboarding
handoff / amd64 runner received the multi-platform index ref instead of
the published linux/amd64 manifest ref`
- Source runs:

https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32091103413/job/95584858770
- Stable signature: `Deep Agents Code sandbox image is missing base
resolution metadata`
- Scope: one publication-to-onboarding platform-reference mismatch.

The publication validator exported the multi-platform index as
`base_ref`, while final qualification requires the locally recorded
platform manifest. Existing tests accepted the index at the publication
boundary and then supplied fabricated amd64 runtime metadata, so they
did not exercise the handoff that failed live.

The third recurrence, for main commit
`4a179614ac8a07273fce8f1cb679b33c0444f5c4`, first failed published-base
import proof with `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'deepagents'`.
Fallback onboarding and all target-specific cloud checks then passed
before final evidence immediately reproduced the same missing-metadata
signature. It is additional evidence for this root cause, not a separate
claim.

The fourth automatic recurrence, for main commit
`fb01aff8ed67596dcdfe38cb6f5dccdcba301a33`, used index digest
`sha256:772546…` with amd64 child `sha256:5331ab…`. Phases 1–7 passed,
including onboarding, lifecycle, every cloud check, and fresh
re-onboarding. Phase 9 alone failed with `Deep Agents Code sandbox image
is missing base resolution metadata` before cleanup passed. The earlier
`ModuleNotFoundError` was the expected negative import gate, whose step
succeeded. This is confirmed pre-fix recurrence evidence, not a separate
claim.

The first exact-candidate manual run,
https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32094360622, checked out
candidate `5c164b9c79cb3b7cb65f7ed1f0b99f026152c097` but used the
trusted workflow from base commit
`fb01aff8ed67596dcdfe38cb6f5dccdcba301a33`. Its Deep Agents Code job,
https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32094360622/job/95582856763,
failed phase 1 before onboarding because the trusted helper emitted the
index while that candidate required the amd64 platform reference. This
was trusted-workflow/candidate selection skew, not the original runtime
metadata failure. The follow-up makes the validated candidate-bound
contract authoritative for platform selection and passes its exact amd64
reference explicitly to both onboarding consumers without mutating
ambient process state. This failed run does not count toward the
two-pass acceptance criterion.

- Validate imports from and export the contract's exact `linux/amd64`
platform reference.
- Select the fixed platform reference from the complete candidate-bound
contract when publication evidence exists.
- Pass that exact reference explicitly to initial onboarding and fresh
re-onboarding; retain the ambient reference only for local runs without
publication evidence.
- Require completed-image evidence to match the same platform reference.
- Reuse one target-platform constant across Docker validation,
publication output, and final evidence checks.
- Keep the complete multi-platform index contract as candidate and
publication authority.
- Cover the emitted reference, trusted-workflow/candidate revision skew,
both onboarding consumers, invalid explicit references, missing
metadata, and opposite-platform evidence.

## Summary

Preserve Deep Agents Code base-resolution metadata when Docker reports a
different same-repository `RepoDigest` for an exact platform-digest
override. The resolver now retains the caller's immutable platform ref
through both digest selection and finalization, so the final sandbox
Dockerfile receives the required provenance label.

Exact-main failures before this fix selected the correct `linux/amd64`
platform digest, completed the lifecycle, then failed final evidence
with `Deep Agents Code sandbox image is missing base resolution
metadata`:

-
https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32102057346/job/95604587184

An exact-head qualification of the first revision reproduced the same
symptom and exposed the remaining handoff: Docker reported another
repository digest, `getRepoDigest()` adopted it, and the finalizer
independently normalized to it again. The replacement ref could not
supply the exact inspected identity, so metadata was dropped:
