Env refactor Phase 3 cleanup: fix CI and harden runtime env loading#255
Conversation
grep -A10 missed the marker removal 11 lines after the match. Widened to -A15 for safety margin. Ref: PR #253 code review finding M1.
Post-merge analysis of all 28 bugs found during pre-merge testing. Identified 6 structural root-cause patterns with defenses for each. New tests (test_systemd_units.py, 12 tests): - StartLimitBurst must be in [Unit], not [Service] - Restart=on-failure, never always - CI=true present in session units - Safe-mode handler EXIT trap + marker cleanup - No 'local' keyword outside functions in health check scripts - Docker compose: cap_drop ALL, no-new-privileges, retry cap New docs: - POST-MERGE-ROBUSTNESS-ANALYSIS.md — full bug catalog, patterns, defenses - Proposed additions to ENV-REFACTOR-PLAN (config validation gate, delivery verification, env contract test) Also fixes M1 from PR #253 review (grep window in regression test). 1099 passed, 3 skipped.
Added from post-merge analysis of 28 bugs across 6 patterns: - Phase 0a: Config validation gate (Doctor + binding + account checks) - Phase 0b: Systemd unit linter (DONE — 12 tests in c9daaa5) - Phase 0c: Delivery verification in E2E (parse output, don't trust exit codes) - Phase 0d: Env contract test (verify all consumed vars are available) Also added bug pattern summary to Design Principles section and Phase 0 success criteria.
Resolved 4 inline review comments: 1. Named SSOTs explicitly (Topology: manifest, Runtime: group.env) 2. Added implementation constraints: GROUP_ENV_VERSION=1, escaping guarantees, non-isolated mode also gets group.env 3. Fixed OWNER_ID design: per-platform IDs preserved (TELEGRAM_OWNER_ID, DISCORD_OWNER_ID), no collapsed single OWNER_ID — different namespaces 4. Added notify_owner() behavior contract: 10s timeout per platform, reason codes (no_token/no_owner/send_failed), no mutable globals Updated target architecture diagram to match per-platform design. Removed all [ChatGPT inline review] blockquotes (addressed).
…ntract Phase 0a: Config validation gate (lib-isolation.sh + build-full-config.sh) - Single-agent accounts must be 'default' (Doctor enforcement) - Multi-agent groups must have binding for every agent - Every binding must reference an existing channel account - Runs after config generation, before service dispatch Phase 0c: E2E delivery verification (gateway-e2e-check.sh) - Captures openclaw agent output instead of piping to log - Checks for 'delivery failed' / 'token missing' in output - Detects silent delivery failures (exit 0 but delivery failed) Phase 0d: Env contract test (tests/test_env_contract.py) - Verifies parse-habitat.py produces core vars - Verifies generate_group_env() produces group overrides - Checks runtime scripts don't reference unknown vars - Validates per-platform owner IDs exist - Lints for direct habitat-parsed.env sourcing Config validation tests (5): single-agent default/wrong, multi-agent complete/incomplete, binding-to-missing-account. 1109 passed, 3 skipped.
1. Document first-pass tolerance in validate_generated_config — callers must ensure config exists before calling validation. 2. Extend delivery failure grep patterns: added 'account mismatch', 'routing failed', 'outbound not configured' to catch more silent failure modes. 3. Replace print() with warnings.warn() in env contract tests for cleaner pytest output. Ref: ~/clawd/shared/docs/PHASE-0-CODE-REVIEW.md
- Add append_decoded_secrets() helper function - Include ALL vars from habitat-parsed.env (not hand-curated allowlist) - Add GROUP_ENV_VERSION=1 as first line for future format detection - Group-specific overrides (GROUP, GROUP_PORT, etc.) come after habitat vars - Decoded secrets override B64 versions from habitat-parsed.env - Handle missing/unreadable habitat-parsed.env gracefully in tests Part of ENV-REFACTOR-PLAN Phase 1: group.env as SSOT
- Remove fallback to env_load() (was sourcing habitat-parsed.env)
- Source ONLY group.env as the single source of truth
- For non-isolated mode, use ${HC_HOME}/.openclaw/configs/default/group.env
- For isolated mode, use ${HC_HOME}/.openclaw/configs/${GROUP}/group.env
- Keep backward-compatible variable names (AC, H, CONFIG_PATH, etc.)
Part of ENV-REFACTOR-PLAN Phase 1: group.env as SSOT
…e-check.sh
- Remove 'source /etc/habitat-parsed.env' from check_channel_connectivity()
- Remove 'source /etc/habitat-parsed.env' from check_agents_e2e()
- Remove 'source /etc/habitat-parsed.env' from send_agent_intros()
- All AGENT${i}_* vars now flow through hc_load_environment() → group.env
Part of ENV-REFACTOR-PLAN Phase 1: group.env as SSOT
- Create $HOME/.openclaw/configs/default/group.env for non-isolated mode - Include all vars from habitat-parsed.env - Add runtime overrides (GROUP=, GROUP_PORT=18789, ISOLATION=none, etc.) - Add decoded secrets (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, etc.) - Ensures hc_load_environment() works consistently for both modes Part of ENV-REFACTOR-PLAN Phase 1: group.env as SSOT

- Replace hardcoded "main" in /etc/hatchery-version with [[HATCHERY_BRANCH]] so the provisioner can control which code branch gets deployed to the droplet - Add copilot/* to bootstrap.sh branch pattern allowlist alongside feature/*, fix/*, experiment/*, refactor/* Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
openclaw --version outputs "OpenClaw X.Y.Z (commit)" — passing the full string to npm install -g openclaw@<full-string> fails with ETARGET since npm expects a version number. Extract just the X.Y.Z semver with grep -oE. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When openclaw-container-*.service starts at boot, Docker auto-creates missing host-side volume mount directories as root. This prevents openclaw (running as the bot user) from writing to those dirs, causing the health check to fail and the container service to enter critical-failure state. Add ExecStartPre to pre-create all volume source directories with correct bot:bot ownership before 'docker compose up --wait' runs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… for cold boot Node.js startup on a cold filesystem takes ~120s on first boot when many services start simultaneously. start_period: 60s was too short, causing health checks to fail and the container service to hit StartLimitBurst. - start_period: 60s → 120s: gives Node.js enough time to start serving HTTP before health check failures start counting toward retries - TimeoutStartSec: 180s → 300s: ensures systemd doesn't kill docker-compose before the container has time to pass health checks (start_period:120s + retries:3 * interval:30s = 210s < 300s) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Node.js detects the cgroup memory limit (1024m) and sets an underestimated V8 heap ceiling (~512MB). The openclaw gateway crashes with 'Reached heap limit' before the docker healthcheck can pass, causing the container service to fail repeatedly. Set NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=768 explicitly: 768MB heap plus system overhead fits within the 1024m container mem_limit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
pkill sends SIGTERM which Node.js may handle gracefully (exit 0), preventing Docker's restart: on-failure from triggering. docker kill --signal=SIGKILL always exits with code 137, which reliably triggers the restart policy. Also increases sleep to 20s to ensure container is Running after restart before checking. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…nt V8 OOM V8 old-space was crashing at ~757MB against a hardcoded 768m limit inside a 1024m container. Fix: derive max-old-space-size as 75% of the container mem_limit so the heap ceiling scales with allocated memory. Also bump healthy-grp to 2g in the test-2c habitat so the Gemini gateway has enough headroom (1536m old-space within 2048m). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Under heavy container churn, sshd's reverse DNS lookup for client IPs can block the SSH banner exchange indefinitely. Add UseDNS no to sshd_config at the start of provisioning so SSH connections never stall. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Setting memswap_limit = mem_limit means zero bytes of swap are allowed (Docker formula: swap = memswap_limit - mem_limit = 0). This causes the kernel to hard-OOM-kill the container the moment physical memory hits the limit, with no buffer for spikes. Node.js with max-old-space-size=1536m (75% of 2048m) still needs headroom for young gen (~256m), code/map space, and native heap, which pushes total usage close to 2048m. Any transient spike triggers an immediate OOM kill. Removing memswap_limit lets Docker use its default (2x mem_limit), providing a swap buffer for memory spikes without permanent swap use.

- Increase broken-grp (Gemini) memory from 512m to 1024m in test habitat JSON: 512m/384m heap causes V8 OOM during startup (heap hits limit at ~376MB leaving no headroom) - Fix gateway-e2e-check.sh E2E agent check timeout: use temp file instead of pipe capture for 'timeout 60 sudo -u bot openclaw agent'. When timeout kills sudo, orphan openclaw process keeps pipe write-end open, blocking output=$(...) indefinitely. File redirect lets bash unblock when timeout exits. Applied same fix to send_agent_intros() intro command. - Fix verify-2c.sh critical failure section: wait up to 2 minutes for critical-notified marker before forcing recovery cycles. The safeguard handler runs asynchronously after safe-mode is set; running verify too soon caused the critical lockout check to fail even when it would succeed minutes later.

1024m made the container start successfully, causing slow E2E failure cycles (~5min each). With 512m, broken-grp OOMs immediately on startup (~75s cycle), reaching safe-mode in ~20 minutes — well within the HM server's 30-minute provisioning timeout. 1024m took 35+ minutes causing the HM to mark the droplet as 'error' before safe-mode was reached.

The CI test test-simplification-pr6.sh uses sed to extract the check_agents_e2e function body and verify it doesn't use --deliver. The sed pattern '/check_agents_e2e/,/^}/p' was also matching a comment inside send_agent_intros (line 312) that referenced check_agents_e2e, causing sed to capture lines 312-343 of send_agent_intros — which legitimately uses --deliver. Reword the comment to avoid the false match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Secret values containing ' #' or '"' were corrupted during the write (append_decoded_secrets) → read (env_load_file_safe) cycle: - Unquoted values had ' # ...' stripped as inline comments - Double-quoted values gained spurious backslashes before '"' Switch to single-quoting which env_load_file_safe handles by stripping outer quotes without interpreting contents. Also updates test expectations: - test_group_env_file_created: expect single-quoted secrets - test_single_agent_wrong_account: now correctly expects FATAL/rc=1 (validate_generated_config Check 1 already returns failure) Adds regression tests verifying round-trip for keys with ' #' and '"'.
