From b1b8e2a07b1288445af418bafe70fb53c409d753 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tinson Lai Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 09:01:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(onboard): add --name flag for explicit sandbox naming MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ## Summary `nemoclaw onboard` had no `--name` flag, so picking a sandbox name in non-interactive or no-TTY runs required the undiscoverable `NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_NAME` env var, and `--from ` without a TTY silently fell back to the `my-assistant` default — clobbering the default sandbox. Adds `--name ` plumbed through `OnboardCommandOptions` and `OnboardOptions`. The flag wins over the env var. When prompting is impossible (no TTY or `--non-interactive`) the env var is now seeded into the same path the flag takes, so it actually flows through to `createSandbox` instead of being dropped. `--from` runs that cannot prompt and have no resolved name now error cleanly. Both `--name` and `NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_NAME` go through the same `validateName` + reserved-name guard that the interactive prompt enforces, so a name like `status` is rejected before it can shadow a CLI command. ## Related issues Closes #2543 ## Changes - `src/lib/onboard-command.ts`: parse `--name `, validate the value, surface it on `OnboardCommandOptions.sandboxName`, and list it in the usage line. - `src/lib/onboard.ts`: add `sandboxName` to `OnboardOptions`; lift the reserved-name set out of `promptValidatedSandboxName` so the flag and env-var paths share it; resolve the requested sandbox name early (flag, then env var when prompting is impossible), validate it once, and seed it into the local `sandboxName` so `createSandbox` receives the override; reject `--from` runs that cannot prompt and have no resolved name; teach `getRequestedSandboxNameHint`, `getResumeSandboxConflict`, and `getResumeConfigConflicts` to prefer `opts.sandboxName` over `NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_NAME`; thread it through the resume conflict caller. - `src/lib/onboard-command.test.ts`: positive test for `--name` parsing alongside `--from`, plus the missing-value and flag-as-value error paths. - `test/onboard.test.ts`: cover hint precedence (option over env) and the resume conflict produced when `--name` diverges from the recorded sandbox. - `test/onboard-name-flag.test.ts` (new): integration coverage via spawnSync — non-TTY without `--non-interactive`, `--non-interactive` with whitespace-only env var, accept paths for `--name` and the env var, reserved-name rejection from both the flag and the env-var no-TTY seed, and `validateName` rejection of malformed `--name`.

The early --from no-name guard skipped when --resume was set so the session's recorded sandbox name could fill in. But `Session.sandboxName` is `string | null`, so a partial resume (sandbox creation never completed) would still slip past and let the prompt path silently default to 'my-assistant'. Added a backstop guard right after the session is loaded that exits 1 when resume + cannotPrompt + --from + no resolved name + no recorded session sandbox name. 2. `getResumeSandboxConflict` was reading `NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_NAME` directly via the hint helper, which fired spurious resume conflicts whenever a user happened to export the env var in their shell rc — interactive resume never consults the env var anyway, since sandbox creation is already complete in the session. The conflict detector now relies solely on the caller-resolved `requestedSandboxName` (which already obeys the "env-only-when-cannotPrompt" rule). 3. Replaced the ambient `NodeJS.ProcessEnv` cast in the new integration test with `typeof process.env`, sidestepping the no-undef tripwire on the global namespace. ## Related issues Refs #2543 ## Changes - `src/lib/onboard.ts`: add post-session-load backstop guard for the resume-with-null-sandboxName edge; thread the resolved `requestedSandboxName` into `getResumeConfigConflicts` instead of the raw `opts.sandboxName`; drop the env-var fallback inside `getResumeSandboxConflict` so it uses the caller-resolved value exclusively. - `test/onboard.test.ts`: update the pre-existing `getResumeSandboxConflict` test to pass the requested name via opts; add a regression test asserting the env var alone no longer fires a conflict. - `test/onboard-name-flag.test.ts`: new spawnSync regression for the resume-with-null-sandboxName guard; switch the env cast to `typeof process.env`.

Adding a hermetic stub bin directory was over-scaled for what these tests actually exercise (early-exit guards that never reach preflight), so dropping the suite outright is the simpler resolution. Unit-level coverage in src/lib/onboard-command.test.ts (--name parsing, missing-value, flag-as-value) and test/onboard.test.ts (hint precedence, resume conflict via opts, no-conflict-from-env) remain.

Re-check RESERVED_SANDBOX_NAMES right after the session-vs-requested resolution before any sandbox operation runs, and exit with the same message the early --name/env-var guard prints. Docs gap on the same PR: docs/reference/commands.md still omitted --name from the usage line, had no per-flag section, and the non-interactive --from example was now invalid because the new no-prompt guard requires --name or NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_NAME. Add the flag to the usage line, add a --name section near --from, and update the env-var example to include NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_NAME. The behavioural test for the resumed-name guard is a static-source match in the existing onboard.ts assertion bank rather than a real spawnSync onboard run — the dropped integration suite reached preflight (Docker/OpenShell) and timed out vitest's 5s budget, and re-introducing it would re-introduce the same flakiness for a defensive guard that only fires on stale pre-PR sessions.
