fix(messaging): make channel credentials reach the agent on OpenShell 0.0.106 - #10273
Conversation
…ment OpenShell 0.0.106 binds a messaging credential to its policy endpoint and then only accepts the revision-scoped placeholder it injects into the sandbox process environment. NemoClaw kept rendering the canonical placeholder into agent configuration, and because that value takes precedence over the environment, every bound channel resolved to a placeholder the proxy refuses. Reproduced on a clean v0.0.114 sandbox with no local patches: the Hermes Discord policy is already bound, .env still carries DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=openshell:resolve:env:DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN while the process environment holds the revision-scoped form, and the bridge fails with "500 Internal Server Error (error code: 0): Credential placeholder could not be resolved". Drop the rendered placeholders so both agents fall through to the injected value, and bind the endpoints that were still unbound. - Bind Discord REST and both gateway WebSocket hosts for OpenClaw. - Bind the Slack REST hosts for OpenClaw, splitting slack.com by path so the app token authorizes only apps.connections.open. - Bind the two Microsoft Teams token endpoints for OpenClaw. - Remove the Discord, Slack, and Teams placeholder renders, and retire the Slack runtime env alias, which rewrote the injected value into a form that carries no revision. - Delete a credential env key the plan no longer renders, so a stale line cannot shadow the injected value after an upgrade. - Keep preserved home-channel values when no channel renders env lines. Hermes Teams, WeChat, and Telegram stay unchanged: the first two read a different environment key than the provider injects, and the Telegram token travels in the request path, which the proxy never rewrites. The Hermes Slack policy already binds its endpoints, so this only removes the rendered placeholders and the runtime alias that overwrote the injected value before Hermes could read it.
…credential-binding
The sandbox reads its provider environment once, at boot, and the agent process inherits that read for the life of the container. Anything that makes a channel credential injectable after boot therefore never reaches the running agent, and no restart recovers it. Three paths hit that. Discord and Teams declare credential_binding in their policy preset, but only Slack was flagged requiredAtCreate, so the OpenClaw boot policy carried no binding for them. OpenShell withheld the credential from the endpointless provider profile and the agent started with the env var absent. Flag both presets create-time required. Google Chat mints its token gateway-side on the refresh worker's own sweep, so `provider refresh configure` returns while the credential is still the create-time sentinel. Onboarding created the sandbox inside that window, the boot environment pinned a revision whose value is the sentinel, and the Chat API rejected every reply as not an OAuth 2 access token. Wait for the first mint before creating the sandbox, and fail closed with the last observed status when it does not land. The Google Chat outbound preload rewrote the revision-scoped placeholder to the canonical form. OpenShell 0.0.106 refuses a canonical placeholder once the credential is identity-bound, so the proxy denied the send as credential_unavailable. Forward the injected value verbatim instead. The Hermes Slack preset declares slack.com twice to carry two credentials, but without a path selector both entries score equal path specificity and the policy is rejected as ambiguous, which fails sandbox creation outright. Add the selector the OpenClaw preset already uses. Tests: a drift guard that fails when a preset binds a credential without being create-time required, coverage for the mint wait and its fail-closed path, and updates to the preset contract assertions.

Reviewed commit 42bf2b659204b4ba3319f4fd90b9aa88674ff8da against the Hermes Discord, Slack, and stop/start failures.
The trusted Manual PR Run is bound to this commit, base fa34f2aca47a690a465d1a9dbd268e57b515c738, and workflow 4f82ea594a94456274e91fc44f85a954e0415310: https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32870144367 (correlation da42fb7c-f402-45e1-9c98-a2b2483e361a). Authentication and the nemoclaw-e2e-dispatch-v2 receipt passed, but the controller stopped before candidate checkout because this commit's managed-image workflow is not successful. Only the dispatch receipt exists; no target or credential-bearing job ran.
Blocking findings:
test/e2e/live/channels-stop-start-helpers.tsstill defines active Hermes Discord as a.hermes/.envline equal to the removed provider placeholder. The exactchannels-stop-start-hermestarget calls that oracle for the active baseline and after restart, so the candidate's intended non-rendering contract makes its own target fail. Replace this with a positive Discord-state oracle plus a negative credential-persistence check.test/e2e/live/hermes-slack-e2e-helpers.tsstill fabricatesxoxb-OPENSHELL-RESOLVE-ENV-*andxapp-OPENSHELL-RESOLVE-ENV-*during its phase-6 API calls. That is the old provider-shaped alias this PR says OpenShell 0.0.106 rejects after identity binding. The probe must use the injected revision-scoped environment value and verify its shape and isolation boundary.src/lib/messaging/applier/agent-config.tsremoves stale owned environment lines only while applying a target present inagentRender. For an active Hermes Slack or Discord channel with no remaining.envrender,applyEnvLinesis never called, so a token line left by an older NemoClaw version survives. Add the no-render migration case and make cleanup visit the owned target even when the new render is empty.
This also overlaps PR #10271's Hermes Slack path-selector hunk without carrying that PR's permissive-policy change. Keep one owner for the Slack routing fix and rebase or drop the duplicate hunk.
Security review: Secrets/Credentials FAIL because the stale-persistence migration is incomplete; Input Validation/Data Sanitization PASS; Authentication/Authorization WARNING pending the corrected identity-bound probes; Dependencies PASS; Error Handling/Logging WARNING because refresh-status command errors collapse into a long wait; Cryptography/Data Protection PASS; Configuration/Security Headers PASS; Security Testing FAIL for the two contradictory exact-target oracles and missing no-render migration test; System Security PASS. I found no committed raw secret or new command/path injection surface.
Please address these findings and restore the managed-image prerequisite before requesting another credential-bearing run.

Telegram's bot token comes from an endpointless provider profile, so the policy preset's credential_binding is the only thing that makes TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN injectable. Without it OpenShell withholds the credential, and since a sandbox reads its provider environment once at boot, no restart recovers it. Bind the credential in both agent policies and mark the preset requiredAtCreate so it is applied before the sandbox boots. Drop the placeholder from the OpenClaw config fragment and from the Hermes env file: OpenShell rewrites URL-path placeholders, so the token rides in Telegram's /bot<TOKEN>/method path, and both agents read TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN from the environment. Verified live on OpenShell 0.0.106 with both agents. Each sandbox boots with the revision-scoped placeholder in its agent process, the policy matches the redacted /bot[CREDENTIAL]/ path, and the bot replies. The Hermes run also confirms the env-file change: ~/.hermes/.env carries TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS and no token. Neither run produced a credential denial.
…ial-binding # Conflicts: # src/lib/messaging/channels/discord/manifest.ts # src/lib/messaging/channels/metadata.test.ts # src/lib/onboard/initial-policy-real-policy.test.ts # src/lib/onboard/messaging-policy-presets.test.ts # test/onboarding/onboard-preset-diff.test.ts
The Hermes Discord policy already binds every credential endpoint to
{sandboxName}-discord-bridge, and OpenShell rejects the canonical
placeholder form for a bound credential. Asserting that ~/.hermes/.env
still renders credential.discordBotToken.placeholder pins the one shape
the credential endpoint refuses.
Invert that assertion. Both agents read DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN from the
environment, which OpenShell fills with the revision-scoped placeholder
at sandbox boot, so neither render carries a token. The env line itself
was removed earlier on this branch; this only aligns the test added by
#10277, which covered the OpenClaw half.
Verified live: the Discord Hermes bot replies with the line removed.

Every channel that renders env lines targets ~/.hermes/.env, and Hermes loads that file with override=True. A credential line left by an older NemoClaw version therefore shadows the revision-scoped placeholder OpenShell injects, and the channel stays unauthenticated. applyAgentConfigAtOpenShell only visited targets present in the render plan. A channel whose env render collapses to nothing - Telegram with no allowed IDs, now that its token line is gone - never reached the pruning path, so the stale line survived every re-onboard. Visit an owned env target even when the plan renders nothing into it, and skip it only when the file does not exist. The new test fails without this change: the stale TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=openshell:resolve:env:TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN line stays.
The live oracles still described the shape this branch removes, so the targets contradicted the behavior under test. - channels-stop-start: Telegram and Discord defined an active Hermes channel as the rendered token line. Anchor on the allowlist line and assert the token line is absent, matching Slack and Google Chat. - channels-stop-start: the Google Chat removal step inverted the active probe. That probe already carries a negative token conjunct, so a leftover GOOGLE_CHAT_ACCESS_TOKEN line would report successful removal. Assert absence directly. - hermes-slack: the phase-6 probe fabricated the Bolt-shaped xoxb-/xapp-OPENSHELL-RESOLVE-ENV alias this branch deletes. Read the injected value and require the revision-scoped shape. - hermes-slack: the secret-boundary scan allowed that same alias, and the leak check missed export-prefixed assignments.

I am requesting changes because the trusted current-head E2E run demonstrates two product blockers and one broken E2E fixture in code changed by this PR.
Findings
| # | Category | Severity | Location | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Configuration / system security | P1 | src/lib/messaging/channels/teams/policy/openclaw.yaml:18 |
The Teams credential-bound endpoint conflicts with the existing outlook_graph endpoint on login.microsoftonline.com:443, so an all-channel OpenClaw sandbox cannot finish onboarding. |
| 2 | Secrets and credentials / system security | P1 | src/lib/messaging/applier/credential-env-cleanup.ts:88 |
Initial Hermes onboarding from the currently published managed image still leaves SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and SLACK_APP_TOKEN assignments in .hermes/.env; those assignments shadow the intended revision-scoped provider injection. |

Ordinary PR CI is also currently red; I did not treat its broad sandbox-identity failures in unchanged code as PR-specific findings.

- Input validation and data sanitization — PASS: reviewed credential formats, env parsing (including
export), config rendering, and path handling did not reveal an injection or traversal bypass. - Authentication and authorization — PASS: provider names remain sandbox-scoped and I found no cross-sandbox authorization bypass.
- Dependencies and third-party libraries — PASS: no new dependency, registry, download, or integrity surface was introduced.
- Error handling and logging — PASS: refresh failure is bounded and fails closed; diagnostics are redacted and E2E resource cleanup completed.
- Cryptography and data protection — PASS: no custom cryptography was added, and the Slack boundary probe retains TLS peer verification.
- Configuration and security headers — FAIL: the new Teams binding cannot compose with the existing Outlook endpoint metadata.
- Security testing — FAIL: the exact-head selected E2E lanes all failed, and the new Google Chat fixture cannot survive the lifecycle it claims to prove.
- System security — FAIL: the published-image migration and multi-preset composition do not preserve the intended credential boundary across the complete operation.
Please fix the two live product failures, make the Google Chat fixture cover the rebuild process, and rerun these same selectors against the next exact head.

Reviewed latest head ebe1ecf: PASS. Required checks pass, all commits are verified, and exact-head Hermes Slack, channel stop/start, and rebuild E2E passed in run 33064678443. The focused messaging-providers failure in run 33067266829 is not a product regression in this PR: three provider-set assertions are owned by #10275, while the remaining assertions inspect legacy config tokens or aliases intentionally replaced here by revision-scoped OpenShell environment placeholders. Resource cleanup passed.
…10275) <!-- markdownlint-disable MD041 --> ## Outcome Revisioned Telegram, Slack, web-search, and extension credentials remain attached to each channel's canonical OpenShell provider. Messaging setup validates provider identity and lifecycle state before profile or provider mutation, attaches newly registered providers to the exact sandbox, and keeps inactive built-in routes out of rebuild policies. ## Reason Messaging routes could reference standalone providers created from revisioned placeholder names. Provider updates could retain valid namespaced credentials that a later exact-set check rejected, while provider-family validation ran too late to prevent an earlier web-search profile import. Channel enrollment could also publish a credential-bound route before its provider was attached to the sandbox. The earlier broad policy and orchestration work in this branch overlapped with #10273. Commit `9edaf376d` restores that work to current `main`; the remaining commits apply the focused provider-family, attachment, and route-reconciliation repair with deterministic and live validation. ### Related issues Part of #10153. ## Changes - Resolve canonical and revisioned placeholder names as one credential family owned by the selected canonical provider. - Ignore absent extension values before provider registration and allow OpenShell to retain valid namespaced siblings that were not resubmitted. - Validate every credential-family provider identity before web-search or messaging profile import, provider creation, or provider update. - Require the canonical credential and every submitted planned key after mutation while rejecting arbitrary sibling keys and indeterminate provider state. - Keep raw credential values in the OpenShell child environment. Command arguments and persisted state contain only key names and revision-scoped placeholders. - Attach each newly registered messaging provider to the recorded sandbox only after checking its gateway and lifecycle identity, then check the identity again after attachment. - Reconcile active messaging routes during channel add and rebuild, remove inactive built-in presets, and preserve exact custom policies even when their names match built-in presets. - Update deterministic runtime proofs and integration fixtures for revision-scoped Telegram, Discord, terminal-dashboard, provider-attachment, and preset-pruning behavior. - Document canonical provider ownership, missing-value omission, inactive-preset pruning, and the Hermes-only stopped-Discord provider exception. ## Verification - Focused provider and registration tests: 130 tests passed. - Focused provider security boundary tests: 30 tests passed. - Targeted changed CLI suites for the attachment and route-reconciliation update: 173 tests passed. - Provider-attachment lifecycle regression: 7 tests passed after the exact CI fixture correction. - Deterministic Telegram runtime-source contract: 1 test passed. - Terminal-dashboard integration fixture: 2 tests passed. - Codebase growth guardrails: 32 tests passed. - Exact `npm run validate:pr`: passed at `3906975cd9c137c335d240f67477394cdccfde68`. - Exact `npm run docs`: passed with zero Fern errors and two existing warnings. - Normal commit hooks and `git diff --check`: passed. - GitHub commit verification: every newly published commit is Verified. - No secrets, API keys, or credentials are committed. Focused live E2E history is reconciled in the existing validation comment. Earlier runs exposed absent extension values treated as submitted credentials, valid retained family keys rejected after rebuild, and a stale Telegram runtime proof that expected persisted `botToken` state. Because the current head adds code after those runs, a fresh focused `messaging-providers` run remains required after exact-head managed-image prerequisites pass. ## Review notes - Nine-category sensitive-path review at exact head `3906975cd9`: **PASS**, no findings. - Independent documentation writer review at exact head `3906975cd9`: **PASS**, result `docs-updated`, no findings. - Exact-head required CI and automated reviews are running.

Summary
A sandbox reads its provider environment once, at boot, and the agent process inherits that read for the life of the container. Any channel credential that only becomes injectable after boot therefore never reaches the running agent, and no restart recovers it — only recreating the sandbox does. This change makes every messaging credential injectable before the agent starts, and stops the agent config from shadowing the injected value once it arrives.
Related Issue
Part of #10079. It does not close that issue: WeChat and Teams on Hermes are untouched here and are described below.
Changes
Bind the credential in the policy preset and apply that preset at boot. The provider profiles are endpointless, so the binding is the only thing that makes the token injectable, and
requiredAtCreateis what puts the preset in the boot policy rather than a post-boot apply. Without both, OpenShell withholds the credential entirely (withholding static provider credential handle from endpointless profile). Bindings this PR adds:mainas fix(policy): disambiguate Hermes Slack credential routes #10271.Discord already carried the binding on both agents before this branch.
Pass the sandbox name through both policy preflights. Channel presets bind
{sandboxName}-<channel>-bridge, so composing one without a sandbox name throws. Two paths dropped the name after resolving it:preflightPolicyRequirementsresolves it for the sandbox inspection.prepareSandboxCreatePolicyhas it on the create intent, and is the path the external-authority onboarding flow takes.fix(onboard): bind Discord policy to create providers #10314 fixed the sibling site inside
materializeSandboxCreatePlan; these two were still uncovered. Four tests composed presets directly and mirrored the old shape, which let the composition error escape the test body and kill a whole vitest shard.Stop persisting the canonical placeholder in agent config. OpenShell 0.0.106 refuses the canonical form once a credential is identity-bound, so the shape that used to work is now the one shape the credential endpoint rejects. Removed:
botTokenfor Telegram,botTokenandappTokenfor Slack,appPasswordfor Teams.~/.hermes/.env— the Telegram, Slack, and Discord token lines.slackRuntimeEnvAliasesnormalization, which existed only to rewrite those placeholders.Each agent now reads the key from its process environment, which OpenShell fills with the revision-scoped placeholder at boot.
Prune stale credential keys from the Hermes env file. Hermes loads
~/.hermes/.envwithoverride=True, so a leftover canonical placeholder from an earlier onboarding shadows the injected process value and the channel stays unauthenticated. Four gaps kept that line alive:applyAgentConfigAtOpenShell, whose sole production caller returns early for any non-OpenClaw plan. The Hermes runtime applier merged env lines and never removed any.readEnvLineKeyreadexport KEYas the key, so an export-prefixed assignment matched nothing.agentRender, and rebuild refreshes only host forwards and runtime setup, so the render reintroduced the line the cleanup had just removed.The rules now live in one module both appliers use: read the key from either assignment form, take deletion authority from the channel manifest rather than persisted state, treat a rendered key as wanted only while the manifests still assign a credential to it, and visit an owned target even when the plan renders nothing into it. WeChat and Teams render their Hermes credential under a different key than the provider env key, so the assignment metadata, not the provider key, decides what survives. Each rule was checked by removing it and confirming the new tests fail.
Wait for the first gateway mint before creating the sandbox.
provider refresh configurereturns while the credential is still the create-time sentinel and the refresh worker mints on its own sweep, so the sandbox was booting inside that window and pinning a revision whose value is the sentinel. The poll itself accepted any status table it could parse and counted attempts only, so two failure modes also passed through:provider refresh statuscan still print a stalerefreshedrow, which was read as success.It now requires exit status 0 before trusting a row, gives each probe a command timeout, and stops at an overall deadline. Current requirement and consumer: Google Chat, the only channel with a gateway-minted credential. Failing closed stays correct: creating the sandbox before the first mint pins the create-time sentinel for the life of the container. The
configureMessagingBridgeRefreshestests cover the success and the never-minted path, and the optionalsleepdependency is a test injection point, not a configuration surface.Make the Google Chat outbound preload forward the injected placeholder verbatim. Rewriting it to the canonical form produced
credential_unavailableon every send.Keep preserved Hermes env lines anchored to an enabled channel. They were dropped whenever no enabled channel happened to render a
~/.hermes/.enventry — which is now the common case, since the token lines are gone.Add two drift guards over the real policy files. A preset that declares
credential_bindingmust berequiredAtCreate, and a host and port declared twice must carry distinct path selectors. Each guard was checked by reintroducing the defect and confirming it fails.Align the Discord render assertion added by fix(messaging): route revision-scoped Discord placeholder #10277. That PR fixed the OpenClaw half; the Hermes Discord policy already bound every endpoint to
{sandboxName}-discord-bridge, so rendering the canonical placeholder into~/.hermes/.envwrote the one shape the credential endpoint refuses.Refresh the reviewed managed-startup bundle.
managed-startup-image-runtime.bundleembeds the channel manifests, so the manifest changes above madebundle:reviewed:checkfail instatic-checks. Regenerated from the merged tree; the delta is 8 blocks, all of them the credential renders removed above plus the tworequiredAtCreateflags.Three overlapping fixes landed on
mainwhile this PR was open and are merged in here: #10271 (the Hermes Slackpathselector), #10277 (the OpenClaw half of Discord), and #10314 (binding the Discord create-path providers). This branch keeps only an explanatory comment onslack/policy/hermes.yaml; the behavior there is main's. #10314 fixed thematerializeSandboxCreatePlancall site; the two preflight call sites it left uncovered are fixed here.Channel coverage after this change
Every
fixedrow except Teams was confirmed by an actual bot reply on a freshly wiped host, not by test output alone. For Telegram, both agents were run against OpenShell 0.0.106: each sandbox booted with the revision-scoped placeholder in its agent process, the policy matched the redacted/bot[CREDENTIAL]/path, and the bot answered — with no denial and no credential error across five hours of OpenClaw polling and twenty minutes of Hermes polling.Out of scope here:
credential_binding. Telegram's shape, so the same withholding is expected, but it was not measured, so it is not claimed.TEAMS_CLIENT_SECRET, the provider injectsMSTEAMS_APP_PASSWORD. A name mismatch, not the ordering defect.Known gaps, deliberately out of scope
sandbox-create/orchestration.tsrevalidate policy, seed presets, upsert providers, restore the dashboard, and return. A sandbox that booted without the injected provider environment cannot be repaired by pruning~/.hermes/.env— it needs a recreate decision in the existing drift guard besidecredentialRotation.changed, which is a new drift signal rather than a cleanup change. Nearest coverage: the create and rebuild paths this PR fixes.remove-channelon a legacy plan leaves that channel's placeholder line behind.removePlanChannel()drops the credential binding and the render together, so cleanup has no ownership evidence for the key. The residue is a placeholder rather than a credential, is inert once the provider is removed, and is pruned if the channel is added again.Type of Change
