ci(e2e): restore staging launchable validation - #9351
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR replaces staging image publication with Exact staging Brev Launchable execution. The workflow now performs workspace deployment, full E2E validation, cleanup, and evidence upload. Maintainer guidance, validation rules, documentation, and tests use the new execution and artifact contracts. ChangesLaunchable E2E qualification
Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This PR restores the trusted staging validation path and makes its result release-required. It is mergeable with owner follow-up because failed-run guidance does not require deleting the recorded workspace, which can leak staging resources, and evidence guidance does not explicitly verify required artifacts before release decisions; these are bounded operational risks rather than demonstrated production breakage.

Remove the recorded Brev workspace before rerun.
When Launchable E2E or cleanup fails, inspect the artifacts and remove the recorded Brev workspace before rerunning. The current step requires artifact inspection and a rerun, but it does not require workspace removal. A failed cleanup can leave a live workspace and cause resource leakage on the next run.
As per path instructions: “On failure, inspect artifacts and remove the recorded Brev workspace.”

breวดev brev-cli v0.6.334 credentials.json BREV_API_KEY BREV_ORG_ID source
💡 Result:
In the Brev CLI (v0.6.324 and later, including v0.6.334), BREV_API_KEY and BREV_ORG_ID are used for automated, non-interactive authentication, typically in CI/CD environments [1][2][3]. Authentication Flow The CLI stores authentication information in a local credentials file located at ~/.brev/credentials.json [4][1][2]. When using long-lived API keys, the brev login command populates this file with the provided api_key and api_key_org_id [1]: brev login --api-key "$BREV_API_KEY" --org-id "$BREV_ORG_ID" Key Components - BREV_API_KEY: A long-lived credential (format: bak-...) [1]. - BREV_ORG_ID: The organization identifier (format: org-...) associated with the account [1]. - ~/.brev/credentials.json: The local configuration file generated by the CLI to maintain authentication state [1][2]. Historical Context and Alternatives - Legacy Auth: Older workflows often used a BREV_API_TOKEN (a short-lived refresh token) [1][2]. This could be used for authentication by manually creating the credentials.json file [2][5]: printf '{"refresh_token":"%s"}' "$BREV_API_TOKEN" > ~/.brev/credentials.json - Status Check: You can verify your current login state and organization using the command brev status, which displays credential metadata, the active user/org, and authentication provider information [6]. Technical Note: While some automated environments may manually write to ~/.brev/credentials.json for legacy compatibility, using the official brev login --api-key command is the standard and recommended approach for modern versions of the CLI [1][2].

💡 Result:
The terms api_key and org_id are associated with authentication and configuration within the Brev CLI (brev-cli), which is used to manage NVIDIA Brev cloud environments [1][2]. In the context of the Brev CLI, these identifiers are typically handled during the authentication process when a user or machine logs in via an API key instead of standard user-based OAuth flows [1][3]. Key details regarding their usage include: Authentication Method: The introduction of API Key-based authentication allows for non-interactive or service-account style access to Brev resources [1][3]. Credentials Storage: While authentication data is often stored locally (typically in a credentials.json file or similar store within the ~/.brev/ directory), the CLI uses these fields to differentiate between authenticated states—specifically distinguishing between standard user sessions (which may require user-linked organizations) and API key sessions (which may have restricted capabilities, such as the inability to list organizations) [4][1][5]. Functionality: When the CLI resolves authentication, it checks if an API key is present. If it is, the CLI adjusts its behavior; for instance, certain commands like listing organizations are restricted for API key users, while workspace-related commands are scoped to the active organization associated with that key [1][5]. If you are encountering these fields in a JSON configuration file, they are likely parameters used by the CLI's internal store to manage your session identity and the organization context in which your commands are being executed [4][5].

Correct the credential-file description.
brev login persists API-key authentication in $HOME/.brev/credentials.json using fields such as api_key and api_key_org_id, not the environment-variable names BREV_API_KEY and BREV_ORG_ID. The file remains readable by later trusted steps until runner teardown unless the workflow removes it.

Summary
The trusted staging Launchable job again builds the exact candidate image, deploys the repository-configured Brev Launchable, verifies the boot image and baked runtime, runs the preinstalled E2E suite, and proves workspace cleanup. This reverses the temporary image-publication-only policy after the maintainer replaced the misconfigured Launchable and set
NEMOCLAW_STAGING_LAUNCHABLE_IDto its new ID.The full job becomes release-required again when this change reaches
main. The first trusted run after merge will establish whether the replacement Launchable completes the live path; this PR does not report that unrun result as a pass.Related Issue
Related to #8924. The issue should remain open until the restored trusted job succeeds on
main.Changes

The review covered writing rules, credential custody, Launchable configuration, artifact availability, cleanup evidence, and release-gate meaning.
