fix(tunnel): resolve the default sandbox before reading tunnel status

[udsy19]

Summary

nemoclaw tunnel status called showStatus() with no arguments, so it resolved its PID directory from NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX, SANDBOX_NAME or the literal string default instead of the sandbox that tunnel start, tunnel stop and nemoclaw status target. On any host whose default sandbox is not named default it read /tmp/nemoclaw-services-default while the cloudflared PID file lived in /tmp/nemoclaw-services-<default-sandbox>, and reported a running tunnel as stopped. It also ignored the documented NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_NAME override. After this change the status command performs the same resolveDefaultSandboxName step its siblings do.

Related Issue

Fixes #9525

Changes

• src/commands/tunnel/status.ts calls the existing resolveDefaultSandboxName() authority directly and passes the resolved name to showStatus().
• src/commands/simple-global-oclif-adapters.test.ts extends the existing case "maps tunnel and deprecated service commands to service actions" to cover TunnelStatusCommand, asserting that showStatus receives the resolved sandbox name rather than being called bare.

The first revision routed this through a new runStatusCommand / StatusCommandDeps layer in src/lib/tunnel/service-command.ts, mirroring runStartCommand and runStopCommand. That layer had a single consumer, so it was removed in 0020c9874 in favour of calling the resolver directly, and the two duplicate resolver cases it had added to service-command.test.ts were removed with it; the existing resolver tests already own environment priority and unsafe-name behaviour. src/lib/tunnel/service-command.ts and service-command.test.ts are therefore no longer part of this PR.

No new abstraction, configuration, fallback, or compatibility layer. This restores the resolution step that 751459e74 (#4756) and 24fe907f8 (#4866) established for nemoclaw status and nemoclaw list on 2026-06-05, one day before 89cf90351 (#4320) added tunnel status without it.

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:
• Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Both added tests fail on main and pass with this change. Without the fix, the adapter case reports runStatusCommand "Number of calls: 0" because the command still calls showStatus directly, and the two service-command.test.ts cases fail with TypeError: runStatusCommand is not a function.

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:
• Applicable broad gate passed — npm test for broad runtime/test-harness changes; npm run check for repo-wide validation/coverage changes — command/result:
• 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)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

TunnelStatusCommand now resolves the default sandbox through serviceDeps().listSandboxes before displaying tunnel status. Tests verify that showStatus receives the resolved sandbox name.

Changes

Tunnel status resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tunnel status command wiring src/commands/tunnel/status.ts, src/commands/simple-global-oclif-adapters.test.ts	TunnelStatusCommand resolves the default sandbox and passes its name to showStatus. Adapter tests mock both dependencies and verify the exact sandbox argument.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 90ed3

The change makes tunnel status use the same selected sandbox as related commands, preventing running tunnels from being reported as stopped. Merge readiness has one minor follow-up: strengthen the test to verify the sandbox-list callback runs during command execution, or explicitly accept that coverage gap.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Why this blocks

This two-line command fix adds a one-consumer command layer and repeats contracts that the existing resolver tests already own.

src/lib/tunnel/service-command.ts:20-23 and :50-52 add StatusCommandDeps and runStatusCommand(), but the function only passes resolveDefaultSandboxName() into showStatus(). The new tests at src/lib/tunnel/service-command.test.ts:87-104 repeat the environment-priority and unsafe-name behavior already asserted at :37-67.

The adapter test then adds mocks and assertions to prove that TunnelStatusCommand calls this wrapper, instead of proving the required final call to showStatus().

Refactor direction

Call the existing resolver directly in TunnelStatusCommand.run():

showStatus({
  sandboxName: resolveDefaultSandboxName(serviceDeps().listSandboxes),
});

Remove StatusCommandDeps, runStatusCommand(), and the two wrapper tests. Keep one adapter assertion that mocks the resolver result and verifies that showStatus() receives it. The existing resolver tests already protect environment priority, registry fallback, and unsafe-name rejection.

Expected result

Preserve the exact sandbox-selection behavior and command regression coverage while removing approximately 35–40 net lines. The fix then uses the existing sandbox-name authority without adding a one-use command abstraction or duplicate resolver tests.

[prekshivyas]

Applied the requested LOC/simplicity refactor in 0020c9874.

• TunnelStatusCommand.run() now calls the existing resolveDefaultSandboxName() authority directly and passes the result to showStatus().
• Removed the single-consumer StatusCommandDeps / runStatusCommand() wrapper.
• Removed the two duplicate resolver cases from service-command.test.ts; the existing resolver tests continue to own environment priority and unsafe-name behavior.
• Retained one adapter assertion proving the final showStatus({ sandboxName: "resolved-sandbox" }) call.

The follow-up removes 47 lines and adds 8. Validation on the exact pushed head:

• affected suites: 4 files / 106 tests passed
• npm run typecheck passed
• npm run validate:pr passed
• commit is signed, DCO-signed-off, and GitHub Verified

Fresh exact-head checks are running. The existing changes-requested review is left intact for reviewer re-evaluation.

Resolved at 0020c98. The one-consumer status wrapper and duplicate resolver tests were removed, and the adapter now verifies the final showStatus call.

LOC Reduction / Codebase Simplicity Review

Resolved at 0020c9874f133d1c0811c6bd699870fca94ec0de.

The one-consumer StatusCommandDeps and runStatusCommand() layer is gone, along with its two duplicate resolver tests. TunnelStatusCommand now calls the existing sandbox-name resolver directly, and one adapter assertion verifies that showStatus() receives the resolved name.

The follow-up removes 39 net lines and leaves no replacement LOC or codebase-simplicity finding.

This is a scope-limited follow-up, not an approval or a correctness, security, or CI review.

[udsy19]

Thanks — 0020c9874 is exactly the shape I had reached independently, down to the same line in
status.ts and the same three deletions, so nothing further from me here.

One optional nit, take it or leave it: the adapter assertion could be an exact object rather than
expect.objectContaining, since showStatus takes only sandboxName on this path and an exact
match would also catch an accidental extra property.

I checked the surviving assertion still fails on the original defect: with status.ts reverted to
the bare showStatus() call, simple-global-oclif-adapters.test.ts fails with the received call
list empty. 20/20 on that file and service-command.test.ts at the current head.

[udsy19]

This picked up a conflict a few minutes ago, and it is a one-line add/add

main moved underneath it. Commit 9d7520530, "feat(cli): add Hermes portable lifecycle authority",
added assertHermesPortableCommandUnavailable and withMcpLifecycleLock to the same mock object literal
in src/commands/simple-global-oclif-adapters.test.ts that this branch adds resolveDefaultSandboxName
to. A three-way merge against current main produces exactly one conflicting file and exactly one hunk,
and both sides of it are pure additions to that literal, so the resolution is simply to keep all three
entries.

The branch side of the hunk is the resolveDefaultSandboxName: vi.fn(() => "resolved-sandbox") line from
0020c9874 rather than anything in my own commit, and a new head would stop matching the exact SHA the
simplicity follow-up was resolved against and would re-park the checks, so I would rather ask before
rebasing over it. Happy to do it and keep all three mock entries if you would like — otherwise it is a
one-line resolution for whoever takes it.

[udsy19]

This branch went to a dirty merge state. The conflict is one hunk in one file, and neither side is the production change.

src/commands/tunnel/status.ts auto-merges. The only conflict is in src/commands/simple-global-oclif-adapters.test.ts, in the vi.hoisted mock object: main added assertHermesPortableCommandUnavailable and withMcpLifecycleLock in 9d7520530 ("feat(cli): add Hermes portable lifecycle authority (#9424)"), and this branch added resolveDefaultSandboxName in 0020c9874 ("refactor(tunnel): inline status sandbox resolution"). It is a pure add-and-add in an object literal, so keeping both entries resolves it with no behaviour change.

I have not pushed a rebase, to avoid parking the checks that are green here. Happy to rebase whenever that is useful.

Note

GitHub couldn't provide a complete incremental comparison for this pull request, so CodeRabbit is performing a full review instead. This review may take a little longer.

[prekshivyas]

Resolved the current-main conflict in signed, GitHub-Verified merge commit f111e53a2 without rewriting contributor history.

The only conflict was in simple-global-oclif-adapters.test.ts: current main added Hermes portable/MCP lock mocks beside this PR’s default-sandbox mock. The resolution preserves both main’s new mocks and the tunnel-status assertions. The resulting PR diff against current main remains limited to the intended command and owning adapter test.

Validation on the pushed head:

• focused tunnel/inventory suites: 4 files / 111 tests passed
• repository checks and source architecture passed
• TypeScript passed
• full validate:pr hooks passed, including source-shape and growth guardrails

Fresh exact-head CI is now running.

[udsy19]

Thanks for the merge — f111e53a2 clears it, and preserving both sides of simple-global-oclif-adapters.test.ts is the right resolution. The Hermes portable and MCP lock mocks and the default-sandbox mock are independent, so keeping all three costs nothing and the tunnel-status assertions still read against the same object.

Confirming from the outside: the head merges cleanly with current main, and the diff from its merge base is two files, +17/-2 — still just the command and its owning adapter test.

That also supersedes my earlier note on this thread about the conflicting hunk; nothing further is needed from me here.

[prekshivyas]

Approved exact head f111e53a2a4589ea0de97069bf352063ad468dcf. The command now resolves the default sandbox through the existing authority before calling showStatus, while the adapter regression verifies the resolved name reaches the service. The earlier one-use abstraction/duplicate coverage was removed. All three commits are GitHub Verified; there are no unresolved threads; all current checks pass; and both current-head advisors completed at high confidence with zero blockers, warnings, or suggestions. Local verification covered 111 focused tests plus repository, type, and full validation.

[apurvvkumaria]

Documentation review: PASS

No documentation change is required. The implementation restores the behavior already documented for nemoclaw tunnel status: use the selected or default sandbox and honor the shared environment override order. The command now calls the existing sandbox-name authority, and its existing final path validation remains in place.

The current diff is focused, the earlier one-use abstraction and duplicate tests are gone, and there are no unresolved review discussions. The existing human approval covers the current branch revision.

[apurvvkumaria]

Merge-train blocker: required CI could not complete after the bounded retry

The original run had one unrelated installer-integration failure. On the failed-job-only retry, installer integration passed, confirming that failure was not caused by this two-line production change. Five independent CLI shards were then cancelled by the hosted workflow before they completed, which left the cli-tests and checks aggregates unsuccessful.

No further retry is safe or useful from this merge-train pass. The current branch revision otherwise has current human approval, GitHub-verified commits, a contributor DCO declaration, no unresolved review threads, passing automated review, and completed documentation review.

A CI workflow owner must restore successful required shard and aggregate results for this current branch revision. The PR cannot merge while required contexts are cancelled or unsuccessful, and no admin bypass or check waiver will be used.

Assert that the command invokes the resolver with the service dependency.

The resolver mock always returns "resolved-sandbox". The current assertion only checks that this value reaches showStatus(). The test can pass if TunnelStatusCommand.run() skips resolveDefaultSandboxName() or passes the wrong serviceDeps().listSandboxes function.

Add an assertion for the resolver call and retain the showStatus() assertion.

+    expect(mocks.resolveDefaultSandboxName).toHaveBeenCalledWith(

     expect(mocks.showStatus).toHaveBeenCalledWith({

As per path instructions: tests must prove that public entrypoints reach the new path and that the old path is deleted or cannot execute.

One data point on the shard blocker, in case it helps narrow it.

On the current head, cli-test-shards (3) fails inside Run CLI coverage shard on a sandbox image pull rather than on an assertion in the suite:

Unable to find image 'ghcr.io/nvidia/nemoclaw/sandbox-base@sha256:f3f0184b…' locally
ghcr.io/nvidia/nemoclaw/sandbox-base@sha256:f3f0184b…: Pulling from nvidia/nemoclaw/sandbox-base

Neither file in this pull request appears anywhere in that job log — src/commands/tunnel/status.ts and src/commands/simple-global-oclif-adapters.test.ts are both absent from all 1937 lines. The three sibling shards next to it are cancelled rather than failed, which matches the pattern you described.

Nothing needed from me on it; I only mention it because the failure looks like image availability rather than a shard that genuinely ran and disagreed. Happy to leave this head alone so the retry has something stable to run against.
