Summary

OpenClaw agent commands no longer print NemoClaw-owned UNDICI-EHPA warning noise or an empty plugin-allowlist warning. Other Node.js warnings and agent stderr remain visible.

Related Issue

Fixes #8975

Changes

  • Generate an explicit OpenClaw plugin allowlist containing the installed NemoClaw plugin and model-specific compatibility plugins.
  • Preserve existing trusted plugin IDs when configuration regeneration retains plugin installation state.
  • Add enabled messaging plugins to the allowlist in build-time and live configuration render paths.
  • Add an OpenClaw-agent-only runtime wrapper that appends --disable-warning=UNDICI-EHPA to NODE_OPTIONS without flattening command arguments.
  • Cover the default, compatibility-plugin, messaging-plugin, malformed-config, JSON-agent, non-JSON-agent, and unrelated-warning paths.
  • Ratchet the stale src/lib/onboard root-file budget from 309 to the measured value of 308, as required by the repository check.
  • Admit the existing sandbox-owned Hermes API port through the runtime secret-boundary validator and refresh its image integrity pin.
  • Use a valid lifecycle identity fingerprint in the sandbox recreation fixture.

The plugin warning occurred because NemoClaw generated plugin entries but no explicit trust list. The Node.js warning came from the proxy agent preload inherited by each OpenClaw agent child. Existing tests verified config entries and generic runtime environment handling, but did not assert explicit plugin trust or warning-code scope.

The plugin allowlist is restrictive, so a direct allow: ["nemoclaw"] change would disable enabled compatibility and messaging plugins. The shared render helper keeps those existing consumers explicitly trusted. Tests in openclaw-plugin-allow.test.ts, the config generator suites, and the messaging applier protect this requirement.

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:
  • Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
  • Docs not applicable — justification: The change removes internal warning noise and maintains generated trust state. It does not change commands, flags, exit behavior, or user procedures.
  • 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 review preserved the gateway-token unset, argv boundaries, plugin trust restrictions, enabled messaging plugins, and unrelated Node.js warnings. No credential value, policy, or network destination changed.
  • Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer — check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

Documentation Writer Review

  • Documentation writer subagent reviewed the completed changes
  • Result: no-docs-needed
  • Evidence: Reviewed the complete 23-file unique diff. The lifecycle follow-up corrects a malformed test identity fixture. The Hermes validator follow-up admits the documented managed API port. The agent warning and configuration changes restore existing behavior. No documentation path or supported contract changes.

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 — 99 CLI tests and 165 integration tests passed across the focused warning/plugin suites; 20 Hermes boundary tests passed with 1 skipped; and 15 recreation-journal tests passed.
  • 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)
  • Doc pages follow the style guide (doc changes only)
  • New doc pages include SPDX header and frontmatter (new pages only)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change suppresses UNDICI-EHPA warnings for OpenClaw agent commands and adds explicit plugin allowlisting for rendered and generated configurations. It also preserves existing plugin state, updates WSL test detection, permits the Hermes API port, and reduces the onboarding source architecture budget.

Changes

OpenClaw runtime execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
OpenClaw runtime wrapper
src/lib/actions/sandbox/runtime-env.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/runtime-env.test.ts, src/lib/actions/sandbox/exec.ts
Adds an OpenClaw-specific runtime wrapper that suppresses UNDICI-EHPA warnings and removes the gateway token.
Passthrough command wiring
src/lib/actions/sandbox/agent/passthrough*.ts
Routes JSON and non-JSON OpenClaw commands through the new wrapper. Tests update the related mocks and setup.

OpenClaw plugin configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rendered plugin allowlisting
src/lib/messaging/applier/...

Generated plugin allowlisting
scripts/generate-openclaw-config.mts, test/generate-openclaw-config-*.test.ts, src/lib/messaging/applier/setup-applier.test.ts
Generated configurations resolve web-search providers, add deduplicated plugin IDs, and preserve existing allow entries and plugin state.

Validation and maintenance updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Test harness behavior
test/support/connect-flow-test-harness.ts
Preserves explicit isWsl options and makes implicit WSL detection host-independent.
Hermes environment validation
agents/hermes/Dockerfile, agents/hermes/validate-env-secret-boundary.py, test/hermes-env-secret-boundary-hardening.test.ts
Allows NEMOCLAW_HERMES_API_PORT and updates its validator digest and coverage.
Sandbox identity test fixture
src/lib/onboard/machine/handlers/sandbox-recreate-journal.test.ts
Derives the replacement identity fingerprint with fingerprintSandboxRecreateValue.
Onboarding root-file budget
ci/source-architecture-budget.json
Reduces the src/lib/onboard maxRootFiles limit from 309 to 308.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to bb0ce

The PR suppresses only the intended internal warning noise while preserving trusted plugins and other agent warnings; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

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

2 semantic terminology decisions

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

  • established — plugin allowlist at src/lib/messaging/applier/openclaw-plugin-allow.test.ts:30: Retain “plugin allowlist” when the OpenClaw-specific allowlist is intended.
  • justified — provider-assigned Hermes API port at test/hermes-env-secret-boundary-hardening.test.ts:441: Retain the modifier when the port source and Hermes API service distinguish this value from other ports.

E2E guidance

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

Recommended E2E: None

Manual-only E2E: cloud-onboard, hermes-e2e, hermes-inference-switch, managed-image-multiarch-startup, security-posture, channels-add-remove, channels-stop-start, onboard-repair, onboard-resume, cloud-inference, full-e2e

Managed image activation assigns Hermes a per-sandbox API port, but the runtime secret-boundary validator rejected that non-secret variable and forced the replacement container into a restart loop. Allow the assigned port, refresh the validator integrity pin, and cover the runtime environment contract.
