Outcome

Scripts can pipe messages into nemoclaw <sandbox> agent without an inline --message. Previously, the command rejected piped input or failed to reopen /dev/stdin inside the sandbox. Stalled pipe input now reaches the input deadline even when reopening stdin succeeds.

Reason

The pinned OpenClaw parser does not read implicit stdin and reopens explicit message files by path. Sandboxes can deny reopening an inherited pipe. Successful reopening also needs the same deadline so a producer that never closes input cannot leave the command waiting indefinitely.

Related issues

Fixes #13130.

Changes

A version-checked image-build patch reads inherited stdin directly. It preserves inline-message precedence, file permissions, UTF-8 validation and the existing size limit. Ordinary message files keep the native reader. The Dockerfile applies the patch, and both build-context paths stage it. Remove this bridge when the pinned OpenClaw supports the behavior upstream.

The input deadline defaults to 30 seconds. A positive --timeout sets it in seconds, within Node's timer limit. Tests cover implicit input, denied and successful stdin reopening, stalled producers, dispatch and staged image contents. The command reference documents the EOF requirement and deadline.

The selected Deep Agents Code qualification exposed two configuration gaps. Readiness now uses the managed Ultra profile's required nonempty-content parameter, with one shared TypeScript predicate for the probe and configuration generator. Both Ultra model IDs share the same policy. The public NVIDIA endpoint stays excluded with or without a trailing slash, so configuration and readiness send the same parameters. The dependency review identifies the shared identity module as the TypeScript owner of those model IDs.

Generated DCode configuration also selects the managed provider and model identity for its separate Auto classifier request. This uses the existing endpoint and OpenShell credential placeholder instead of relying on an unrelated default model. Manual remains the default approval mode; the native classification policy, denials, deadlines and fallback to human approval remain active. The malformed-response check still requires rejection before session attachment while respecting native response-body suppression.

Verification

  • Against 212cd441, the focused stalled-stdin and classifier-configuration regressions produced three failures and six passes. The same nine cases passed after the repair.
  • npx vitest run --project integration --project cli test/agents/openclaw/openclaw-agent-message-input-patch.test.ts test/agents/deepagents/langchain-deepagents-code-config.test.ts src/lib/actions/sandbox/inference-invocation-probe.test.ts: 179 passed, including both consumers' Ultra model and endpoint parity.
  • Affected DCode image, managed-model-parameter, profile and growth-guard suites: 191 passed across the completed runs. The profile suite used a repository-local Python environment with its build dependency installed.
  • npm run docs: passed with zero errors and two warnings. The generated OpenClaw command reference includes the timeout guidance.
  • npm run e2e:assertions:check: passed with the unchanged count of 1,260 direct assertions across 77 live test files.
  • Normal commit hooks, pre-push publication validation and CLI TypeScript checks passed for 5a2791ea84. All nine commits are Verified.
  • The trailing-slash regression failed for both Ultra aliases on f346593bb2. After the repair, the same six configuration/readiness parity cases passed.
  • npx vitest run --project integration --project cli test/agents/deepagents/langchain-deepagents-code-config.test.ts src/lib/actions/sandbox/inference-invocation-probe.test.ts: 161 passed.
  • PR CI and managed image builds and activation passed on f346593bb2. Eight Advisor specialists were clear; the architecture specialist identified the trailing-slash mismatch repaired here. These results are historical evidence for the new commit.
  • Ubuntu Docker qualification on 212cd441 passed onboarding, lifecycle and the preceding connect checks, then failed the Auto workflow after the classifier became unavailable twice. Its warning named openai:gpt-5.6-luna; the generated configuration lacked a managed classifier selection. The artifacts do not identify the classifier's provider error. Cleanup restored the provider and destroyed the sandbox. The selected qualification on 5a2791ea84 subsequently passed this target.
  • PR CI, managed image builds and activation, rootless Linux, security checks and documentation checks passed on 5a2791ea84.
  • All nine Advisor specialists reviewed 5a2791ea84 and reported no blocking findings. The blocker gate passed.
  • Selected Docker qualification passed for 5a2791ea84: cloud onboarding, Deep Agents Code repository onboarding and hosted inference, and OpenClaw installation, onboarding and an agent turn. The dispatch and result artifacts bind these results to this commit. This selected run is not full release qualification.
  • A complete piped agent reply from the reported Ubuntu 24.04 sandbox remains unverified. The passing OpenClaw agent-turn job does not establish that specific acceptance case.
  • The diff contains no secrets, API keys or credentials.

Review notes

Scope decision: include the narrow DCode configuration corrections under the recorded maintainer direction to repair the selected failing qualification. Main's comparison run did not execute this typed target, and current main has no relevant configuration fix to consume. The classifier uses the selected managed route so the existing Auto capability can operate without another provider credential or egress destination. No approval or credential boundary is waived. The same Ubuntu Docker target passed on the published repair in run 39372650589.

Runtime self-review of f902a0c55cbd3372b62d537da7f6d6a8a54a06e1 in NVIDIA/NemoClaw covered the parser patch, descriptor ownership and cleanup, staged image inputs, shared inference policy, classifier configuration and credential routing. The review used source tracing, pinned DCode 0.1.71 code and the focused tests above. The endpoint repair was reviewed in NVIDIA/NemoClaw for both TypeScript consumers, both Ultra aliases and the public endpoint exclusion. It changes only the shared comparison and regression inputs. CI, all nine Advisor specialists and the selected live qualification passed on 5a2791ea84. CodeRabbit remains paused; its latest published review covered f902a0c55c, and that review's ownership correction is present. Review of the later commits and independent human approval remain outstanding.

Explanation

Issue [#13130] requires piped input to reach the agent and the command to avoid the missing-message and /dev/stdin reopen failures. The version-checked OpenClaw patch reads inherited stdin, preserves inline-message precedence, enforces input limits and deadlines, and handles denied stdin reopening. The Dockerfile and staged build context deliver the patch. Focused tests cover implicit input, explicit /dev/stdin, timeout behavior, validation, patch application, and staged permissions. The source and test evidence support the required coding behavior. A complete Ubuntu agent reply remains unverified, but this does not establish a source gap.

Reviewed latest PR commit 5a2791ea8457a4298ec452f4214ba4e29b143437 against base SHA 88900837e9705c105470c6c3e33835e4b2a9a523.

Approve. I found no blocking defect in the complete diff or adjacent input, image-build, inference-route, configuration, and E2E paths.

The OpenClaw patch is version- and digest-gated. It preserves explicit-message precedence, the 4 MiB limit, UTF-8 validation, and ordinary file access. It reads only inherited non-terminal stdin, applies a bounded deadline, and is staged in both image build contexts. The Deep Agents Code changes use one shared model and endpoint predicate for configuration and readiness, preserve the selected managed credential route, and retain fail-closed session attachment.

Required checks pass. Focused regression tests cover slow and persistent pipes, terminal input, empty and invalid input, size limits, denied stdin reopening, patch drift, optimized build staging, classifier identity, endpoint normalization, request payloads, and response validation.

Security review: PASS for secrets and credentials, input validation, authentication and authorization, dependencies, error handling and logging, cryptography and data protection, configuration, security testing, and system security. The change adds no credential, authority, dependency, cryptographic, or network-policy boundary. Input remains bounded and validation fails closed.

## Outcome

Rebuild the sandbox images with patched system libraries, update
Hermes's vulnerable HTTP and image-processing dependencies, and upgrade
all four production MCP SDK graphs to 1.32.0. Image checks reject stale
package inventories and preserve the existing layer limit and runtime
selection.

## Reason

The October 19 scan of v0.0.135 reports vulnerabilities shared across
the managed images. This PR targets 22 distinct findings: 17 newly
patched findings and five existing libssh2 backports retained here. CI
also exposed GHSA-22jm-h49p-29qw in MCP SDK 1.31.0; 1.32.0 is its first
fixed release.

The 21 Vim findings already have upstream fixes in the pinned package;
Vim remains available. The npm http-cache-semantics advisory has no
fixed release and remains open. Scanner closure requires a rescan of
rebuilt image digests. This PR adds no suppressions.

## Changes

- Update Debian security pins and the libssh2/zlib backports. Preserve
patched Perl module precedence and Debian Debconf imports. Use
immutable, checksum-verified native package sources.
- Update Hermes to httpx2/httpcore2 2.12.0 and Sharp 0.35.4 with libheif
1.23.2. Validate decompression bounds, stream cleanup, SOCKS TLS, and
image decoding. Preserve writable `/tmp` and the 124-layer import limit.
- Use one package specification for image inventories, installed-package
probes, CLI admission, and CI base selection. Separate checks had
accepted incomplete inventories; regression tests now reject stale
versions and missing packages.
- Track direct Dockerfile bind-mount inputs in build contexts, source
identity, staging validation, and Pi receipt parity. Context and receipt
tests cover these dependencies.
- Upgrade MCP SDK locks, offline archive pins, audit identities, and the
discovery bundle together. The offline cache selector must read the
owning manifest to recognize npm's exact transitive overrides;
regression tests retain root-declaration, version, origin, integrity,
and bundled-package checks.
- Keep Podman lifecycle operations within the selected runtime. Preserve
Docker behavior and record forbidden Docker calls in the Podman CI
guard.
- Refresh both Pi qualification records from one successful,
authenticated managed-image run and update their authority hashes.

- Integrate main through `f599930e` to consume the merged
native-inference E2E fixes. Capture cloud install failures before
cleanup using the caller’s isolated HOME and selected runtime; Docker
and Podman regression cases verify routing and credential filtering.
Existing assertions and timeouts remain intact.

## Verification

- Current commit: `d871649a6273b5f5777c4090e032514b85a9806c`. [Required
CI](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39523009111) passed
on attempt 1, including all 12 CLI shards, static checks, compilation,
and reviewed npm audits. [Portable rootless
E2E](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39523009331) also
passed. The [Advisor
review](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39525166198)
passed: all nine specialist artifacts were downloaded, their SHA-256
digests verified, and their findings and summaries read. Each reports no
blocking P0/P1 repository change. [Managed-image
qualification](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39523009175)
passed, including all image builds and combined activation on Docker
AMD64, Docker ARM64, and rootless Podman. [Focused Docker/Podman cloud
onboarding](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39528414009)
passed, including the Relevant E2E aggregate. Its dispatch receipt and
both runtime artifacts were authenticated and inspected against this
commit. Public installation, credential migration, corporate CA
handling, reasoning metadata, downloads, API-key process checks, six
filesystem checks, diagnostics, and cleanup passed. Ten DeepAgents-only
split checks were intentionally skipped because these runs use OpenClaw.
[Self-hosted GPU qualification, attempt
2](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39523013531/attempts/2)
passed. Its authenticated artifact binds this commit and records 24,072
MiB GPU allocation against a 21,777 MiB minimum, matching 262,144-token
model/agent contexts, unauthorized HTTP 401, authenticated model access,
a real OpenClaw turn, public destroy, and already-absent provider
cleanup. Historical results below do not establish a full E2E pass for
this commit.
- [Self-hosted GPU attempt
1](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39523013531/attempts/1)
stopped before GPU execution: its 3,000-second publication wait expired
while Podman image activation was still running. The complete failed-job
log was read. After image qualification succeeded, the trusted-base
verifier accepted the exact candidate catalog and the GPU assertion
audit was checked against the merged source. Failed jobs were rerun once
as attempt 2. The image prerequisite and GPU live test passed. No
assertion, deadline, or security check was weakened.
- Local merged-tree validation: 290 tests passed with two existing
skips; 113 image/receipt tests passed. After the final table-driven
diagnostic-test adjustment, all 18 diagnostic/runtime-provider tests
passed. Strict Pi source-parity validation passed.
- Normal isolated commit and pre-push hooks: passed. GitHub commit
verification: Verified. The secret scan passed; the diff contains no
secrets. Actual hooks run without host credentials or network access.
- Authentic AMD64 and ARM64 Pi records come from the same successful
[qualification run
39497514794](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39497514794),
with verified artifact identities and matching source/cohort/release.
The new merge preserves Pi source parity; no receipt was fabricated or
bypassed.

2](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39505723946/attempts/2)
passed. Managed-image evidence covers all eight image builds/startups
and activation on Docker AMD64, Docker ARM64, and rootless Podman. The
three agent MCP bridges and protected startup on both architectures also
passed in the reviewer’s broader run.
- That historical [full E2E
run](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39514186658) ended
with ten failed test jobs. Complete failure logs were inspected.
Bootstrap/latency’s obsolete shared-route assertions and DeepAgents’
native-parser assertion are addressed by merged upstream fixes #13529
and #13444, now integrated here. New-commit execution is still required.
- Historical E2E disposition: the missing-container cloud startup did
not recur in either current Docker or Podman onboarding run. The
diagnostics change is not claimed to be the root-cause fix. Four
hosted-inference HTTP 404s, Personal policy readback failure also
reproduced on the exact PR base and later main, and a protected GPU
audit failure before GPU execution remain separate inherited or external
findings. Pi and native-switch tests explicitly select the old hosted
model, so upstream’s default-model update alone does not fix every 404.
- The [protected GPU
audit](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39514186658/job/118956879469)
uses trusted-main code at `f599930e`, which synthesizes an MCP SDK
1.31.0 archive graph and reports two high advisories. This PR pins
1.32.0, but cannot alter that trusted controller. Trusted main needs the
reviewed audit repair or maintainer disposition. No exception or
trust-boundary bypass was added.
- Earlier security validation includes libssh2 packet regressions, the
zlib failure-before/pass-after test, Perl tests, installed-package and
ABI checks, HTTP/TLS/image-decoding tests, and MCP task ownership
isolation. The SDK repair’s 185 focused tests and seven growth checks
passed. Mcporter/discovery audits had zero high/critical findings and
four moderate findings; 121 signatures and 16 attestations verified.
Standalone discovery type-check errors reproduced on the previous SDK
and are not claimed fixed.

## Review notes

Sensitive changes include security builders, agent images, image
admission, onboarding, workflows, and validation tooling. The source
changes and affected callers were self-reviewed. The latest diagnostic
repair also has an itemized source audit through cloud checks, cleanup,
and artifact upload; current Docker and Podman cloud startup and cleanup
are now verified by authenticated runtime artifacts.

[Rebecca’s review of
`beaad2dc`](#13513 (review))
found no blocking correctness or security defect, but was a COMMENT, not
approval. Her requested evidence is now available: CI is terminal, the
required upstream stale-test fixes are integrated, and current
Docker/Podman cloud onboarding plus self-hosted GPU qualification
passed. The current-commit Advisor review is complete with no blocking
findings. The single requested CodeRabbit review was acknowledged but
skipped because its incremental review state could not be recovered; its
last reviewed commit remains `beaad2dc`. Current-commit CodeRabbit
coverage is therefore incomplete. The PR stays ready for review as
requested; no approval or merge is claimed.

All nine [Advisor specialists on the prior
commit](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/39510516486)
completed. Eight reported no findings; one reported documentation drift.
The aggregate remains failed. That finding compares changed onboarding
output with documentation for the separate, unchanged status command.
Its status caller and NIM renderer match the base; the documentation
remains accurate. No gate or artifact was modified to clear it. The
prior CodeRabbit dashboard-lookup advisory is nonblocking because the
production caller supplies the lookup.

Existing activation evidence has two limits: plugin-inspection exit
status does not prove loaded status, and parent PONG plus a tool result
does not prove child-agent completion. Rebuilt-digest rescanning, the 21
Vim adjudications, and disposition of the unfixed npm advisory remain
security-review follow-ups.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Security**
- Updated bundled system libraries and security packages, including zlib
and libssh2, with stricter validation.
- Added checks for HTTP compression, TLS connections, image processing,
dependency integrity, and malformed data.
- Standardized security inventory validation for built and candidate
images.

- **Bug Fixes**
- Podman environments no longer trigger Docker-specific detection,
inspection, recovery, or cleanup.
- Sandbox recreation preserves runtime and image metadata more reliably.
  - One-shot tasks isolate background completion handling.

- **Infrastructure**
  - Updated the MCP SDK and refreshed Pi sandbox qualification metadata.
  - Improved build-source tracking and dependency lockfile validation.
