Summary

Adds a secure, fixed 24-hour launch-readiness lease on Linux so nemoclaw launch <sandbox> can skip duplicate recovery and readiness work after exact live validation. Missing, expired, changed, or unavailable evidence selects the complete preflight. An authoritative final mismatch or unhealthy runtime aborts launch. Evidence observation, hashing, locking, or storage failures remain optimization failures after the runtime authority has durably invalidated prior evidence; if a prior authority might remain acceptable and cannot be durably rotated, launch stops before mutation.

Fixes #8942

Changes

  • Adds the per-sandbox lease store and independent Linux runtime authority required by interactive launch and infrastructure probes. A direct cached boolean cannot bind the owning gateway, boot, numeric user, state volume, fixed time envelope, and concurrent publication epoch; launch-readiness-lease.test.ts covers schema, time, path, permission, restored-volume, and stale-publisher behavior.
  • Adds live validation through the owning OpenShell gateway for sandbox identity, parsed policy, inference route, required forwards, and agent semantic health. launch-readiness.test.ts and launch-readiness-forward-observation.test.ts cover the accepted path, lock order, exact registry projection, result taxonomy, and fallback decisions.
  • Uses connect --probe-only as the Linux infrastructure producer and preserves version and session hints, Hermes broker setup, pairing, terminal skin, interactive argv, terminal smoke, and CUA checks. On macOS, launch runs the complete preflight without publishing a lease; connect --probe-only completes recovery and probes, then returns nonzero because authoritative evidence is unavailable.
  • Preserves public start and recover success after completed recovery when only optional lease publication is unavailable. Fence, mutation-gate, and authoritative validation failures remain blocking, and explicit infrastructure connect --probe-only remains strict.
  • Documents automatic lease creation, the non-sliding 24-hour envelope, /exit behavior, complete-preflight fallback, Linux-only optimization, and final-state deployment ordering.
  • Raises six source-architecture ratchets to the exact combined measurements. Current main CI run 31702637390 already measured all six above its recorded limits after fix(onboard): tear down managed gateway when onboard aborts #8993. This PR adds one further production importer to openshell/runtime.ts, gateway-binding.ts, and state/registry.ts; the core/ports.ts, onboard-probes.ts, and src/lib/onboard values preserve the current-main measurements. npm run checks:repository protects the new exact values.

  • 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:
  • Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
  • Docs 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: The maintainer accepted the issue #8942 design, recorded the Linux-only authority boundary, and cleared publication after reviewing the evidence taxonomy, accepted-path probes, runtime-authority state machine, mutation gate, and macOS behavior. Same-host L40S performance evidence remains pending before merge.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue: Not applicable to the current head. The historical test-file-size waiver was not used after upstream independently repaired the inherited violation. npm run test-size:check passes normally, and this PR does not modify ci/test-file-size-budget.json or test/managed-image-publication-workflow.test.ts.

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: docs-updated
  • Evidence: Updated docs/get-started/quickstart.mdx, docs/get-started/quickstart-hermes.mdx, docs/get-started/quickstart-langchain-deepagents-code.mdx, docs/manage-sandboxes/recover-rebuild-sandboxes.mdx, docs/reference/commands.mdx, and test/e2e/README.md. The final issue perf(cli): add a safe pre-warm-to-launch fast path #8942 documentation, comments, errors, CLI help, and test titles remain accurate. The independent writer review passed on commit cc40d1db4; its final five-file repair changes only test infrastructure and fixtures. Final focused validation passed 165 CLI tests, 62 integration tests, 4 E2E-support tests with 1 platform skip, and the corrective 29 integration tests. CLI typecheck, repository checks, test-size, diff checks, and normal commit and push hooks passed. Fern validation completed with 0 errors and 2 existing warnings.

Adds Linux acceptance execution with two lease-backed launch turns, exact terminal reply matching, platform-specific documentation, E2E instructions, and updated architecture budgets.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 648e2

The PR changes launch to reuse a fixed 24-hour readiness lease after live validation, but smoke and recovery paths can omit the persisted gateway or bypass ownership checks, allowing readiness to be validated against the wrong runtime. Merge should wait for those gateway-binding issues and the remaining validation concerns to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

PR Review Advisor — Blocking findings reported

Advisor assessment: Blockers require maintainer review
Next action: Review the blockers below.
Findings: 1 blocker · 1 warning · 0 suggestions

Model lanes

  • GPT-5.6 Terra (primary): Completed · high confidence · 1 blocker · 1 warning · 0 suggestions
  • Nemotron 3 Ultra (second opinion): Failed after a partial review · low confidence · 1 blocker · 3 warnings · 0 suggestions

Second-opinion terminology and E2E selections are advisory. Live E2E does not run automatically for pull requests.

3 semantic terminology decisions

Terminology decisions are advisory. They affect the assessment only when a separate finding identifies concrete semantic impact.

  • define — launch-readiness lease at docs/reference/commands.mdx:1018: Define the term where it is first introduced and retain the stated fixed lifetime, platform boundary, and fallback behavior.
  • define — runtime authority at docs/reference/commands.mdx:1019: Define the OS per-user qualified use at first mention and retain the OS, per-user, path, and caller-environment constraints.
  • justified — complete preflight at docs/reference/commands.mdx:1016: Use complete preflight only for the full fallback path and retain the contrast with accepted lease validation.

E2E guidance

Advisory only. A maintainer can dispatch the default E2E suite for the commit under review.

Recommended E2E: inference-routing

Manual-only E2E: cloud-onboard, managed-image-multiarch-startup, security-posture, hermes-e2e, onboard-repair, onboard-resume, rebuild-hermes, snapshot-commands, cloud-inference, full-e2e, network-policy, rebuild-openclaw, state-backup-restore
The manual PR workflow does not run these selectors for the commit under review. Run them from reviewed code on main.

Blockers

PRA-1 Blocker — Keep the launch fast path available on supported operating systems

  • Location: src/lib/state/launch-readiness-lease.ts:748
  • Category: acceptance
  • Problem: The production runtime-authority resolver accepts only Linux. macOS treats authority as unsupported, so launch always runs the complete preflight and cannot accept a launch-readiness lease.
  • Impact: Users on macOS cannot use the accepted launch fast path, even when a secure per-user authority could be provided.
  • Fix: Implement a secure non-Linux per-user authority and lease path, or obtain and record a maintainer decision that changes the accepted operating-system-neutral constraint before retaining the Linux-only behavior.
  • Verification: Inspect derivedRuntimeRoot and the unsupported-authority branch in inspectLaunchReadiness, then confirm that a non-Linux platform test reaches the accepted lease path.
  • Test coverage: Add a platform-seamed lease-store and launch test that proves a non-Linux secure authority can publish and accept a lease without running the complete preflight.
  • Evidence: Issue perf(cli): add a safe pre-warm-to-launch fast path #8942, accepted by a COLLABORATOR comment, requires that the fast path not bind behavior to one operating system. src/lib/state/launch-readiness-lease.ts: derivedRuntimeRoot supports only process.platform === "linux" and throws UnsupportedAuthorityError otherwise. docs/reference/commands.mdx:1019 and :1021 describe Linux-only lease acceptance and macOS complete-preflight fallback.

Warnings

Warnings do not block.

PRA-2 Warning — Cover live fallback after launch-readiness evidence becomes stale

  • Location: test/e2e/live/launch-readiness-lease-acceptance.test.ts:30
  • Category: tests
  • Problem: The new live acceptance test produces evidence and completes two OpenClaw launch turns, but it does not exercise a sandbox or runtime replacement, agent-gateway failure, or inference failure after evidence publication.
  • Impact: A real OpenShell, filesystem-authority, or runtime transition can bypass or break the recovery fallback while deterministic mocks continue to pass.
  • Recommendation: Extend the Linux live lease acceptance coverage with a post-publication replacement case and gateway and inference failure cases. Each case should prove that launch rejects the lease path, runs complete recovery, and completes a real reply.
  • Verification: Inspect the acceptance test and its helper calls for a mutation after connect --probe-only; no existing case changes identity or health before the launches.
  • Test coverage: Add Linux live E2E cases that publish readiness evidence, then separately replace the sandbox runtime, stop the agent gateway, and break the inference route; assert each subsequent launch falls back and completes a real agent turn.
  • Evidence: test/e2e/live/launch-readiness-lease-acceptance.test.ts:30-43 produces evidence and completes two turns without a post-publication failure or replacement. Issue perf(cli): add a safe pre-warm-to-launch fast path #8942 acceptance evidence requires live coverage after sandbox or runtime replacement and after agent-gateway or inference failure. test/e2e/live/full-e2e.test.ts and test/e2e/live/hermes-e2e.test.ts use the turn helper but do not provide the focused stale-evidence fallback cases.

34-46: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add the unhealthy and unavailable cases.

The test proves only the true path. areSandboxLaunchForwardsHealthy also returns false for an unowned or unreachable port and null when the forward list call fails or times out. Those two results drive different launch decisions: false produces a health fallback, and null produces an evidence failure. Add one case for a missing port row and one case for a non-zero capture status.

Use one authoritative agent name for the health branch.

requireLaunchSemanticHealth reads entry.agent directly. resolveTrustedLaunchAgent and buildLaunchReadinessRegistryProjection in src/lib/actions/sandbox/launch-readiness.ts resolve the same field through normalizedString(entry.agent) ?? "openclaw". An untrimmed or empty entry.agent therefore selects the CUA agent definition in one place and the terminal or gateway branch here. Pass the resolved agent name into this function so both decisions use one source.

Add cases for the expired, malformed, and unsafe read results.

readLease only returns { kind: "missing" } or { kind: "valid" }. classifyReceipt in src/lib/actions/sandbox/launch-readiness.ts maps every other read result to a fallback category, and that mapping has no test. The linked issue requires deterministic coverage for missing, expired, malformed, and interrupted evidence. Add cases that stub each read kind and assert the forwarded category.

Drop the dead existing assignment.

existing is assigned at lines 1417-1418 and never read. writeRecord at line 1454 replaces the receipt unconditionally. The read itself is load-bearing because a non-MissingStoreError, non-MalformedReceiptError failure must propagate to the outer catch. Keep the read and remove the variable so the intent stays clear.

Extract the shared preserved-timeline validation.

Lines 436-450 duplicate lines 349-363 exactly. Both blocks validate the same tri-state invariant: all three preserved fields are present or absent together, the span equals LAUNCH_READINESS_LEASE_MS, and the elapsed value does not exceed the lease. The gateway and filesystem-metadata checks in parseAuthority also repeat the checks in both parseRecord branches.

A single helper keeps the fence and authority records from drifting apart, which matters because readLaunchReadinessLease compares the two records field by field at lines 1186-1188.

♻️ Proposed helper
function preservedTimelineValid(value: {
  preservedLeaseStartedWallMs: unknown;
  preservedLeaseExpiresWallMs: unknown;
  preservedLeaseElapsedMs: unknown;
}): boolean {
  const { preservedLeaseStartedWallMs: start, preservedLeaseExpiresWallMs: expires } = value;
  const elapsed = value.preservedLeaseElapsedMs;
  const present = start !== null;
  if (present !== (expires !== null) || present !== (elapsed !== null)) return false;

    (expires as number) - (start as number) === LAUNCH_READINESS_LEASE_MS &&

Add a partial-publication recovery test.

A receipt-write failure can leave phase: "lease" with a fence receipt. changed triggers re-inspection, and callers do not treat it as unrecoverable. Add a test that injects this failure, asserts the partial state, and exercises recovery through fencing and publication.

17-34: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add the default-gateway case.

The test proves that a supplied gatewayName produces -g <gatewayName>. It does not prove the opposite branch. executeSandboxExecCommandForStatus in src/lib/actions/sandbox/process-recovery.ts at line 285 spreads ...(gatewayName ? ["-g", gatewayName] : []), so an omitted gateway must produce argv with no -g. Without that case, a change that always injects a gateway would still pass.

💚 Proposed addition
  it("omits the gateway selector when no owning gateway is supplied (`#8942`)", async () => {
    const capture = vi.fn(async (_args: string[]) => ({
      status: 0,
      output: "__NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_EXEC_STARTED__\nRUNNING\n",
      stdout: "__NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_EXEC_STARTED__\nRUNNING\n",
      stderr: "",
    }));

    await expect(
      isSandboxGatewayRunningForStatus("alpha", undefined, {
        getSessionAgent: () => null,
        getHealthProbeUrl: () => "http://127.0.0.1:18789/health",

Assert the fencing error without the sentinel throw.

expectFenceFailure throws a sentinel Error at line 165 when operation() succeeds, and its own catch block then catches that sentinel. The test still fails, because expect(error).toBeInstanceOf(LaunchReadinessFenceError) rejects the sentinel. The control flow is indirect, and the failure message names the wrong cause.

♻️ Proposed change
 function expectFenceFailure(operation: () => unknown, blocksRecovery: boolean): void {
-    try {
-      operation();
-      throw new Error("Expected launch-readiness fencing to fail.");
-    } catch (error) {
-      expect(error).toBeInstanceOf(LaunchReadinessFenceError);
-      expect((error as LaunchReadinessFenceError).blocksRecovery).toBe(blocksRecovery);

 }

Note: calling operation() twice can change store state. If that matters, keep a single call and capture the error in a local before asserting.

Link the three quickstarts to the canonical lease description. All three quickstarts repeat the same four launch-readiness sentences verbatim. The canonical explanation lives in docs/manage-sandboxes/recover-rebuild-sandboxes.mdx under "Understand Launch Readiness Leases".

Keep the first sentence, which is quickstart-specific, and replace the platform detail with a link to the published route for the recovery page.

The read itself is load-bearing because a non-MissingStoreError, non-MalformedReceiptError failure must propagate to the outer catch. Keep the read and remove the variable so the intent stays clear.

Extract the shared preserved-timeline validation.

Lines 436-450 duplicate lines 349-363 exactly. Both blocks validate the same tri-state invariant: all three preserved fields are present or absent together, the span equals LAUNCH_READINESS_LEASE_MS, and the elapsed value does not exceed the lease. The gateway and filesystem-metadata checks in parseAuthority also repeat the checks in both parseRecord branches.

A single helper keeps the fence and authority records from drifting apart, which matters because readLaunchReadinessLease compares the two records field by field at lines 1186-1188.

♻️ Proposed helper
function preservedTimelineValid(value: {
  preservedLeaseStartedWallMs: unknown;
  preservedLeaseExpiresWallMs: unknown;
  preservedLeaseElapsedMs: unknown;
}): boolean {
  const { preservedLeaseStartedWallMs: start, preservedLeaseExpiresWallMs: expires } = value;
  const elapsed = value.preservedLeaseElapsedMs;

Add a partial-publication recovery test.

A receipt-write failure can leave phase: "lease" with a fence receipt. changed triggers re-inspection, and callers do not treat it as unrecoverable. Add a test that injects this failure, asserts the partial state, and exercises recovery through fencing and publication.

17-34: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add the default-gateway case.

The test proves that a supplied gatewayName produces -g <gatewayName>. It does not prove the opposite branch. executeSandboxExecCommandForStatus in src/lib/actions/sandbox/process-recovery.ts at line 285 spreads ...(gatewayName ? ["-g", gatewayName] : []), so an omitted gateway must produce argv with no -g. Without that case, a change that always injects a gateway would still pass.

💚 Proposed addition

    const capture = vi.fn(async (_args: string[]) => ({
      status: 0,

      stdout: "__NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_EXEC_STARTED__\nRUNNING\n",
      stderr: "",

Assert the fencing error without the sentinel throw.

expectFenceFailure throws a sentinel Error at line 165 when operation() succeeds, and its own catch block then catches that sentinel. The test still fails, because expect(error).toBeInstanceOf(LaunchReadinessFenceError) rejects the sentinel. The control flow is indirect, and the failure message names the wrong cause.

♻️ Proposed change
 function expectFenceFailure(operation: () => unknown, blocksRecovery: boolean): void {
-    try {
-      operation();
-      throw new Error("Expected launch-readiness fencing to fail.");
-    } catch (error) {
-      expect(error).toBeInstanceOf(LaunchReadinessFenceError);

Note: calling operation() twice can change store state. If that matters, keep a single call and capture the error in a local before asserting.

Implement the documented CPU memory-floor selection.

Line 101 always selects an 8 GB floor. The conditions in Lines 95-100 do not affect CPU_RAM_FLOOR. A model-based reproducer can therefore provision an instance below the documented 16 GB floor and fail during bootstrap.

Derive the default from the approved reproducer before brev search. Keep VERIFY_STALE_CPU_TYPE as the explicit override. Add a regression test for model, sandbox-only, and pure-CLI inputs.

Capture log-only evidence from the sandbox.

Lines 57-58 run cat on the Brev instance host. They do not enter the verification sandbox. Sandbox-only OpenClaw or OpenShell logs will not be captured, so a valid log-only reproduction can become a false no-match or an inconclusive result.

Use the approved in-sandbox execution boundary with the verification sandbox name. Treat optional absent log paths as absent inputs, not as a log-capture failure.

yaml npm package 2.8.3 parse Yarn v1 lockfile syntax version "1.0.0" invalid YAML

💡 Result:

The Yarn v1 lockfile format is not standard YAML, which is the primary reason why general-purpose YAML parsers (such as the yaml npm package) fail to parse it [1][2][3]. Although Yarn v1 lockfiles often look like YAML, they use a custom format that includes specific non-compliant features, such as: - Multi-key properties (e.g., keys separated by commas). - Specific indentation and structural patterns that do not adhere strictly to the YAML specification [2][4]. Because yarn.lock (v1) is not valid YAML, attempting to parse it with the yaml npm package or other standard YAML libraries will frequently result in errors [1][4]. If you need to programmatically read or modify a Yarn v1 lockfile, you should use the official @yarnpkg/lockfile package, which was specifically designed to handle this custom format [1][5]. Regarding the yaml npm package version 2.8.3 mentioned, it is a general-purpose YAML library [6]. While it has received security updates (such as fixes for RangeError during deep parsing) [7], these updates do not change the fact that the underlying structure of a Yarn v1 lockfile remains incompatible with standard YAML parsing rules [2][3]. If you are encountering issues where a tool fails to parse a lockfile, it is almost certainly because that tool is using a strict YAML parser on a file format that Yarn intentionally designed to be "Yarn-specific" rather than spec-compliant YAML [2][8][9]. Yarn 2+ (Berry) migrated to a more standard YAML-based format, which is why newer tools may handle them differently [2][3][9].

🌐 Web query:

official Yarn classic lockfile v1 format syntax version quoted value without colon

💡 Result:

The Yarn classic (v1) lockfile format does not support key-value pairs without a colon. In the yarn.lock specification, every property within an entry block must follow the format key "value", where the key is followed by a colon or is implicitly defined by the indentation and structure [1][2][3]. Specifically, lines within an entry block such as version "1.0.3" or resolved "https://..." are parsed as key-value pairs where the key is separated from the quoted value by a space [4][2]. While the key itself does not have a trailing colon in these specific lines, the overall format is strictly line-oriented and indentation-dependent [1]. If you are encountering a quoted value without a colon in a context where a key-value pair is expected, it is likely a misinterpretation of the syntax. The structural elements of a yarn.lock v1 file are: 1. Header: The file must start with # yarn lockfile v1 [4][5]. 2. Entry Headers: The lines defining package specifiers (e.g., package@range) must end with a colon [1][2]. 3. Entry Body: The indented properties (e.g., version, resolved, integrity, dependencies) consist of a key followed by a space and a quoted string value [4][2]. There is no colon after the property name (e.g., version "1.0.3") [4][3]. If a line appears as just a quoted value without a preceding key (e.g., "1.0.3" without version), it is syntactically invalid for the v1 format [1][3]. Tools parsing this format typically expect the key-value pair structure where the key is an unquoted string and the value is a double-quoted string [6][3].

Use a Yarn v1 parser for yarn.lock.

Yarn v1 uses custom syntax such as version "1.0.0", which parseYaml cannot parse. The catch block returns true, so actionForScannedFile removes a credential-free yarn.lock. Use a format-specific parser or validator, and add a test that preserves a standard Yarn v1 lockfile byte-for-byte.

Maintainer decision for PRA-1: launch-readiness lease acceptance and publication in #8942 are intentionally Linux-only. macOS launch remains supported and runs the complete preflight on every launch; explicit infrastructure connect --probe-only completes recovery and probes, then returns nonzero because it cannot publish authoritative evidence. We rejected TMPDIR, HOME, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, launch-environment values, hostname, PID, and caller-influenced getconf DARWIN_USER_TEMP_DIR as authority sources. Host verification showed that getconf failed with the fixed environment and returned caller-supplied TMPDIR when provided, so treating it as independent authority would weaken the fencing contract. This is the approved security boundary for this issue slice; an equivalent macOS fast path would require a separate accepted authority design. No PRA-1 code change is required.

Maintainer waiver for PRA-1: waive the operating-system-independence finding for #8942. The launch-readiness lease optimization is intentionally Linux-only under the approved security design recorded in #8951 (comment). macOS launch remains supported through the complete preflight on every launch, and macOS does not accept or publish readiness leases because this change has no trustworthy environment-independent runtime authority there. Implementing a macOS fast path requires a separate accepted authority design. This waiver applies only to PRA-1 and does not waive any other review or CI finding.

The connect harness installs two spies on platform.isWsl. The explicit
options.isWsl spy from NVIDIA#8951 runs first, then the platform pin from
NVIDIA#8984 replaces it and delegates to the captured binding, so a case that
passes isWsl: true resolves to the environment instead of the option.
"repairs a WSL Ollama route without requiring an auth proxy token" then
takes the non-WSL branch and exits 1.

Remove the pin. The explicit option supersedes it: it states the WSL
decision per case instead of inferring one from the host, and it already
keeps the case host-independent, which is what the pin was for. All
seven suites that use the harness pass.

## Summary

Fresh sandbox onboarding could persist a lifecycle generation without
the matching live sandbox identity, causing the launch-readiness
producer added by #8951 to reject a healthy new sandbox. This change
carries one generation through creation, captures the final Ready
identity from the owning gateway, and revalidates it immediately before
registry publication.

## Related Issue

Regression follow-up to #8951 and #8942.

## Changes

- Allocate one lifecycle generation before fresh creation and preserve
it through portable and standard lifecycle setup.
- Reject lifecycle-generation drift, missing or malformed identity,
non-Ready state, owning-gateway mismatch, and identity changes before
registry publication.
- Preserve recreate-journal authority while publishing the fresh
generation and live identity together through the existing synchronous
registry write under lifecycle-to-gateway locking.
- Add agent-neutral coverage for portable and non-portable creation, a
non-OpenClaw agent, wrong-gateway and identity failures, and recreate
precedence.
- Keep the oversized `src/lib/onboard.ts` entrypoint net smaller by
locating lifecycle coordination in its existing transaction owner.
- Correct the source-architecture budget from 309 to the current
measured 308 root files; this patch adds no root source file.

Existing affected registry rows are intentionally not backfilled. They
require fresh onboarding or the existing recreate workflow so the live
identity is established at the trusted lifecycle boundary.

The fresh portable Brev acceptance run remains pending for commit
`229356fead`: launch-readiness publication, launch, chat, `/exit`,
second launch, and timing evidence.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved sandbox creation and recreation reliability by confirming
readiness, lifecycle generations, and live sandbox identities before
registration.
- Prevented registration when lifecycle or gateway-scoped identities do
not match observed sandbox state.
- Preserved lifecycle information when setup does not return
registration details.
- Ensured registrations reflect the authoritative state from the active
recreation process.

- **Tests**
- Expanded coverage for readiness checks, identity confirmation,
generation preservation, and gateway-scoped registration.

## Summary

When `snapshot restore --to` creates a destination but cannot verify its
owner-scoped lifecycle identity, the destination exists in OpenShell
without a NemoClaw registry entry. This change reports that partial
result, prints the exact owning-gateway deletion command, and documents
recovery instead of leaving users with an unmanageable clone.

## Related Issue

Follow-up to #9013, #8951, and #8942.

## Changes

- Stop snapshot clone registration when the owning gateway does not
report the same valid Ready identity at capture and final revalidation.
- Report that snapshot state was not restored and the clone was not
registered, then print the exact owner-scoped OpenShell deletion command
needed before retrying.
- Validate recreate-journal identity input as a live identity
fingerprint and name that boundary accurately.
- Document the destination lifecycle generation, identity checks,
partial result, and recovery for `snapshot restore --to`.
- Add regression coverage for the nonzero result, absent registry row,
absent snapshot-state write, and recovery diagnostic when a valid
identity changes before registration.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Snapshot restores now verify destination readiness and identity
immediately before registration.
- Failed restores are rolled back, remain unregistered, and provide
clear owner-scoped cleanup instructions for safe retry.
- Clone creation failures now show properly formatted deletion commands.
- Sandbox replacement validation now requires a Ready state and valid
live identity.
- New destinations receive a fresh lifecycle generation after successful
restoration.

- **Documentation**
- Updated restore guidance to explain validation checks, lifecycle
changes, cleanup, rollback, and retry steps.

## Summary

On macOS, `nemoclaw <name> connect --probe-only` completed the gateway
probe and any dashboard-forward recovery, then exited 1 because the
launch-readiness evidence store requires a Linux per-user runtime
authority (`/run/user/<uid>`). The permanent platform gap turned every
successful probe into a failure, so a scripted health check could not
tell a healthy sandbox from a real outage. After this change, a
successful probe and recovery on such a platform prints a note that
evidence is unavailable and exits 0.

## Related Issue

Closes #9278

## Changes

- `src/lib/actions/sandbox/connect.ts`: when publication reports
`evidence-failed` and the readiness decision carries
`authorityUnsupported` (thrown only for non-Linux platforms in
`src/lib/state/launch-readiness-lease.ts`), print `Note:
launch-readiness evidence is unavailable on this platform; the next
launch runs the complete preflight.` and return with exit 0. A
publication failure on a platform that supports evidence keeps `Probe
failed: ...` and exit 1. Fence failures, validation failures, and
unsafe-epoch exits are unchanged.
- `src/lib/actions/sandbox/connect-flow.test.ts`: the macOS-shaped case
now asserts recovery completes, the note prints, and the command
resolves with no exit call. The sibling cases for Linux publication
failure and validation failure still assert exit 1.
- `test/cli/connect-recovery.test.ts`,
`test/cli/connect-terminal-agent.test.ts`,
`test/sandbox-connect-inference/auto-pair-approval.test.ts`: probe-only
now expects exit 0 on every platform; the note substring still appears
only on darwin.
- `docs/reference/commands.mdx`,
`docs/manage-sandboxes/recover-rebuild-sandboxes.mdx`: state the new
macOS behavior and scope the nonzero publication-failure exits to Linux.

### Design record

PR #8951 (#8942 launch-readiness leases) recorded the previous contract:
macOS probe-only "completes recovery and probes, then returns nonzero
because authoritative evidence is unavailable." This PR narrows that
decision for the permanent platform gap only, per the QA expectation in
#9278: the probe's product operation succeeded, `launch` runs the
complete preflight without evidence on these platforms, and no consumer
relies on the macOS nonzero exit. Verified consumers: internal
probe-only callers (`start.ts`, `hermes-cron-restore-recovery.ts`) pass
`requireLaunchReadinessPublication: false` and return before the changed
branch; the E2E lease producer (`test/e2e/live/launch-agent-turn.ts`)
requires exit 0; managed-cloud checks treat probe-only nonzero as
failure. Linux infrastructure-producer strictness is untouched: a broken
`/run/user/<uid>` classifies as `missing`, not `unsupported`, and still
exits nonzero.

### macOS verification plan

The Linux CI lanes exercise the unchanged behavior. The darwin branch is
covered by the unit test (platform-independent readiness-decision shape)
and will be verified on an Apple Silicon Mac against the exact #9278
repro (`connect --probe-only` on a healthy sandbox, then the
forward-recovery variant); evidence will be posted as a PR comment.

pass.
* macOS evidence limitations are clearly reported as informational notes
rather than failures.
* Linux readiness and publication failures continue to return nonzero
results with appropriate diagnostics.

* **Documentation**
* Clarified platform-specific probe-only behavior and subsequent launch
checks.
