Approved commit under review e89c65ed460b32e29374bdfc0e5cba56c95247ac against base SHA e231409ac0d554122349d3792aeaf9d324a34c8c.
No blocking findings. I traced the exact default-off feature gate, caller-prepared image validation and Dockerfile-only handoff, mutable-reference image-ID pinning and cleanup, immutable digest pass-through, standard terminal launch and headless dispatch, smoke readiness, inference routing, policy boundary, and legacy registry-field removal.
Security-sensitive review:
- Secrets and credentials — PASS. The NemoCUA build context contains only the thin Dockerfile, so caller-image build hooks cannot read repository files or host credentials; no credential storage flow is added.
- Input validation — PASS. The gate accepts exactly
1; the required image reference is bounded and rejects whitespace and shell metacharacters before it is embedded in the Dockerfile. - Authentication and authorization — PASS. The feature flag is only explicit opt-in; existing Docker, OpenShell, gateway, registry, and sandbox mutation authorities remain the enforcement boundaries.
- Dependencies — PASS. No runtime dependency changes or private artifact resolver remain; the caller-selected prepared image is the explicit trust boundary established by #9649.
- Error handling and logging — PASS. Missing or invalid image input, unavailable pinning evidence, command resolution, smoke health, and registry failures stop before unsafe continuation; temporary image aliases are disposed.
- Cryptography — PASS. No cryptographic mechanism changes; managed inference remains scoped to TLS on
inference.local:443. - Configuration and deployment — PASS. The repository ships the manifest, thin Dockerfile, and restrictive policy together; NemoCUA remains absent from discovery, creation, rebuild, launch, and agent dispatch unless the exact gate is set.
- Testing and coverage — PASS. Local verification passed 361 focused CLI tests, 14 package-contract tests, the CLI build, the plugin build, and
git diff --check. The changed paths cover disabled/enabled discovery, image handoff, rebuild pinning, terminal onboarding, launch, passthrough, readiness, policy, packaging, and registry migration. - System-level safety — PASS. Filesystem access, non-root execution, and managed-inference egress remain narrowly constrained; legacy CUA readiness authority is dropped rather than reused, and mutable rebuild input is handed off by inspected image ID.
The GPT advisor check ended with an analysis-job failure and no code finding; other required checks were still running at review time. This approval does not waive those repository gates.
