Outcome

Fresh onboarding with a never-used sandbox name no longer reports a false existing registry entry or emits provider-detach warnings for an absent sandbox. Genuine registry entries and real detach failures remain visible.

Reason

Issue #12740 reports error-shaped cleanup warnings during successful first-time onboarding and asks that the registry notice appear only when an actual registry entry exists.

Related issues

Fixes #12740

Changes

  • Distinguish route-only reservations from registered sandboxes when selecting pre-upgrade backups; retain the warning for real registry entries.
  • Skip provider cleanup when OpenShell confirms the sandbox is absent. Classify only the narrow structured missing-sandbox diagnostic for the requested sandbox, preserving warnings for malformed output and genuine detach failures.
  • Add focused coverage for reservation selection, absent-versus-present sandbox decisions, malformed/genuine failures, and the public fresh-create path.

Verification

  • Focused tests passed: 4 CLI test files (169 tests) and test/onboarding/onboard-absence-warnings.test.ts (11 tests).
  • Isolated pre-push publication validation, TypeScript CLI validation, and git diff --check passed.
  • CI / Pull Request and managed-image qualification passed, including exact all-agent runtime activation on rootless Podman.
  • PR Review Advisor completed successfully; all nine specialists reported clear with no findings.
  • A local broader integration run failed during corporate-CA setup because the generated fixture's gateway-state ancestor could not be inspected (ENOENT). Manual E2E was not run, as explicitly waived.

Review notes

The PR diff is limited to the first-time registry notice and absent-sandbox cleanup behavior reported in #12740. The current-head Advisor review found no blockers, and CodeRabbit's review after the PR was marked ready reported no actionable comments. The PR is ready for the required human review.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Provider detachment now recognizes qualifying structured sandbox-not-found diagnostics even when they omit the sandbox name.
    • Reduced unnecessary backup-restore warnings for route-only sandbox reservations.
    • Structured sandbox-not-found diagnostics are classified consistently; diagnostics with mismatched names, altered messages, conflicting fields, or unstructured wording continue to be treated as failures.
    • Sandbox-absence checks continue to recognize sandbox-name-specific diagnostics while also supporting qualifying unqualified diagnostics.

Walkthrough

The changes classify additional structured provider diagnostics as sandbox absence during detachment, adjust a backup warning for route-only reservations, and export the existing-sandbox inspection predicate. Tests cover diagnostic classification, warning conditions, and provider-detach commands during creation and recreation.

Changes: Onboarding diagnostics and sandbox state

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider absence classification and detach checks
src/lib/adapters/openshell/sandbox-absence-diagnostic.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/provider-diagnostic-cli.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/sandbox-observer-cli.ts, src/lib/adapters/openshell/provider-adapter-cli.ts, test/onboarding/onboard-absence-warnings.test.ts, test/onboarding/onboard-fresh-create-identity.test.ts, test/onboarding/onboard-sandbox-recreation.test.ts
The adapter recognizes selected structured unqualified not-found diagnostics as sandbox absence in eligible detach results. Tests cover accepted and rejected diagnostics, cleanup warnings, and detach-command expectations for fresh creation and recreation.
Route reservation backup warning
src/lib/onboard/not-ready-recreate.ts, src/lib/onboard/not-ready-recreate.test.ts
The missing-installer-restore-flag warning is limited to non-route-only registry entries or route-only reservations with a pending create identity. Tests cover route-only reservations, existing sandboxes, and verified create checkpoints.
Existing-sandbox inspection predicate
src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create/orchestration.ts, src/lib/onboard/sandbox-create/existing-sandbox-inspection.test.ts
The existing predicate is exported without a behavior change. Tests cover absent sandboxes, portable lifecycle, and verified-create resume.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 58c4a

Recreation can show a misleading provider-cleanup warning even when OpenShell confirms the sandbox is absent; treat this as an idempotent result before merging.

Explanation

Issue #12740 requires quiet first-time onboarding and a registry notice only for an actual registry entry. selectPreUpgradeBackupForCreate excludes route-only reservations and retains the notice for real entries. Sandbox inspection skips provider cleanup when the sandbox is absent. The absence classifier accepts only a complete structured sandbox not found diagnostic for the supported codes, while malformed output, mismatched diagnostics, compact status: NotFound, and genuine failures remain visible. Focused tests cover reservation selection, absence decisions, diagnostic classification, fresh creation, and existing-sandbox recreation.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #12740. Reservation filtering removes the false registry notice. Sandbox-existence gating and narrow diagnostic parsing remove false provider-detach warnings. The added tests verify the fix and preserve warnings for real failures. No unrelated change is identified.

Exercise the real readiness wait in the retry test.

This mock calls checkReadyIdentity twice and then returns success. The test still passes if the real waiter stops polling after not_ready, so it does not establish the claimed retry behavior. Add a test that passes these probe outcomes through the real waiter. As per path instructions, “Flag ... broad mocks that bypass the behavior under test.”

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep checkpointed pending-create entries visible.

When pendingCreateIdentity is present, the entry is a retained sandbox checkpoint, not a route-only placeholder. The current predicate ignores that field, so the guard can suppress the “Registry entry exists” warning. Preserve suppression for genuine route-only reservations, including those with route metadata such as provider and model.

Suggested fix
     // selection. That route-only placeholder is not a prior sandbox registry
     // entry and should not trigger a backup/recreate diagnostic.
-    if (input.registryEntry && !isRouteOnlySandboxReservation(input.registryEntry)) {
+    const hasPendingCreateCheckpoint =
+      input.registryEntry?.pendingCreateIdentity !== undefined;
+    if (
+      input.registryEntry &&
+      (!isRouteOnlySandboxReservation(input.registryEntry) || hasPendingCreateCheckpoint)
+    ) {
       console.warn(
         `  Registry entry exists for '${input.sandboxName}' but installer restore flag not set — skipping pre-upgrade backup select.`,

Skip provider cleanup when the sandbox is already absent.

An exact structured absent-sandbox diagnostic now returns sandbox_not_found. Cleanup treats only not_found as benign, so the onboarding recreate path can record every detach as a failure and emit false warnings when liveExists is false but a registry entry remains.

In the onboarding recreate path, guard the call to
runAuthorityBoundProviderCleanup with liveExists so provider cleanup is skipped
when the sandbox is already absent, even if a registry entry remains.

Use one strict parser for complete structured sandbox-absence diagnostics in the provider adapter and sandbox observer. Keep named sandbox binding in the respective caller, and cover OpenShell Not Found status spellings.

Keep compact status-only sandbox absence ambiguous for the owner-scoped observer after a failed delete, while sharing structured diagnostic parsing with provider cleanup.

Retain the existing-entry warning when a pending route also contains a verified create checkpoint. A route-only reservation still stays quiet.

Cover the short structured missing-sandbox diagnostic at the observer lookup boundary and prove that compact NotFound status still fails closed.
