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_ID to 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

  • Restore Brev CLI installation and authentication, Launchable workspace creation, exact boot-image and runtime checks, the preinstalled E2E suite, and verified workspace deletion.
  • Read the replacement Launchable ID only from the NEMOCLAW_STAGING_LAUNCHABLE_ID repository variable and keep Brev CLI v0.6.334 pinned by SHA-256.
  • Restore the guarded Brev and inference credentials only to the trusted full-validation step, along with the full evidence artifact contract.
  • Reject image-publication-only mode and credential, variable, authorization, pin, or artifact drift through workflow-boundary tests.
  • Restore the exact Launchable result as a release requirement and update maintainer E2E guidance for the replacement Launchable.

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests 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 review traced authorization before checkout, trusted github.workflow_sha script selection, guarded credential placement, checksum-pinned Brev installation, fixed repository-variable selection, non-cancelling execution, failure propagation, and cleanup evidence. Workflow-boundary and harness tests enforce those contracts.
  • 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: docs-updated
  • Evidence: Updated .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-cut-release-tag/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-e2e/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-policies/references/release-train.md, .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-validate-launchable/SKILL.md, test/e2e/README.md, and test/e2e/docs/README.md. The review covered writing rules, credential custody, Launchable configuration, artifact availability, cleanup evidence, and release-gate meaning. Public Fern documentation is not needed because the change affects maintainer-only E2E and release operations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The 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.

Changes

Launchable E2E qualification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Launchable E2E workflow execution
.github/workflows/e2e.yaml, tools/e2e/workflow-boundary.mts
The staging job now authenticates Brev, runs the combined build/deploy/verify/test/cleanup flow, enforces credential and CLI controls, and uploads E2E evidence.
Automated evidence and validation
tools/e2e/upload-e2e-artifacts-workflow-boundary.mts, .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-validate-launchable/SKILL.md

Release qualification and maintainer procedures
.agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-*/SKILL.md, .agents/skills/nemoclaw-maintainer-policies/references/release-train.md
Release qualification requires successful Exact staging Brev Launchable execution, including candidate checkout, full E2E results, and cleanup. Advisory manual validation guidance was removed from release procedures.
Documentation and boundary test updates
test/e2e/README.md, test/e2e/docs/README.md, test/e2e/support/e2e-workflow.test.ts, test/maintainer-*-skill.test.ts
Documentation and tests now cover Launchable E2E selection, credential boundaries, cleanup, concurrency, artifact names, and automated evidence.
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5e8b8

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.”

`brev login` writes `BREV_API_KEY` and `BREV_ORG_ID` to `$HOME/.brev/credentials.json` on the GitHub-hosted runner. Later trusted steps and processes in the same job can read that file. The workflow does not delete it explicitly; it remains on the ephemeral runner filesystem until runner teardown discards that filesystem.
These credentials remain valid until they expire or an administrator revokes them in their issuing services. If cleanup fails, remove the recorded Brev workspace. Rotate or revoke each credential to remove later access.

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].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/brevdev/brev-cli "credentials.json" "api_key_org_id"

💡 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.

The restored lane keeps authorization before candidate checkout, executes the trusted workflow-revision script, pins and verifies the Brev CLI, scopes credentials to the minimum steps, binds the Launchable through a repository variable, preserves non-cancelling cleanup, and uploads the expected evidence contract. Boundary tests cover selector, credential, pin, artifact, and release-gate drift.

Cross-issue sweep: no additional candidate issues found.

## Summary

Add the canonical dated changelog entry required before planning the
v0.0.110 release. The entry summarizes user-facing changes merged since
v0.0.109 and links each change to its published documentation route and
source PR.

## Changes

- Add `docs/changelog/2026-08-17.mdx` with the exact `## v0.0.110`
release heading.
- Cover managed local inference, endpoint validation, onboarding and
recovery, explicit experimental Portable OpenClaw, messaging and policy
cleanup, backup and security hardening, and release qualification.
- Preserve the documentation skip list and the current supported-agent
matrix; test-only refactors, dormant activation work, and Pi-only
changes are intentionally excluded.

`test/changelog-docs.test.ts` validates the dated release-entry
contract.
- [ ] Tests 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:
- [ ] Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer —
check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

## DGX Station Hardware Evidence

- [ ] Tested on DGX Station
- Tested commit: Not applicable; documentation-only change.
- Station profile/scenario: Not applicable.
- Result: Not applicable.
- Supporting evidence: Not applicable.

## Verification

- [x] PR description includes a `Signed-off-by:` line and every commit
appears as `Verified` in GitHub
- [x] 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
- [x] Targeted behavior tests pass for the current change set, or tests
are marked not applicable above — `npx vitest run
test/changelog-docs.test.ts` (7 passed)
- [x] Applicable broad gate passed — `npm test` for broad
runtime/test-harness changes; `npm run check` for repo-wide
validation/coverage changes — command/result: Not applicable to one
prose-only changelog page; `npm run docs` passed the repository's strict
documentation gate.
- [x] Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or
waivers
