fix(destroy): scope sandbox container identity to the selected gateway namespace - #13951
When two Linux users on one Docker host run their own NemoClaw gateways and use the same sandbox name, destroy refused to destroy either sandbox. Each gateway labels its containers with its own scoped openshell.ai/sandbox-namespace, but destroy matched containers by the mutable openshell.ai/sandbox-name label only. This PR scopes destroy's container identity to the proven namespace of the gateway that owns the sandbox and keeps every other fail-closed case.
Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64 test host, one shared Docker daemon, two Linux users in the docker group, main at bdcd7869dd, NEMOCLAW_SANDBOX_GPU=0, NVIDIA Endpoints.
User A, NEMOCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT=19841: onboard --agent langchain-deepagents-code --name my-assistant (exit 0).
User B, NEMOCLAW_GATEWAY_PORT=19821: onboard --name my-assistant with OpenClaw (exit 0). The same result with --agent hermes (exit 0).
Two containers now carry openshell.ai/sandbox-name=my-assistant, with the namespaces nemoclaw-openshell-docker-gateway-19841-… and nemoclaw-openshell-docker-gateway-19821-….
User B: my-assistant destroy --yes exits 1:
Refusing to destroy sandbox 'my-assistant': 2 managed containers carry the 'openshell.ai/sandbox-name=my-assistant' label; expected exactly one.
NemoClaw could not verify one complete container identity for this sandbox name, so destroy fails closed.
The reporter also saw onboarding fail at "Applying managed startup profile" on v0.0.139. On current main, onboarding of the second sandbox completed for both OpenClaw and Hermes in my runs, so this PR does not change onboarding.
Root cause
Destroy reads every container with the requested openshell.ai/sandbox-name label in three places:
observeDestroyContainerIdentity (destroy-presence.ts), used by the identity check before and during deletion.
removeExactOpenShellDockerSandboxContainers, the exact Docker cleanup after OpenShell reports the sandbox absent. It refuses any labeled container outside the retained set.
The Docker privileged control (docker-privileged-sandbox-control.ts), which finds the sandbox container by name for native-home cleanup (Deep Agents) and privileged commands. It refuses more than one candidate.
The scoped namespace that tells the containers apart already exists. NemoClaw writes it into the gateway config, and uninstall already uses it to isolate scoped gateways (#8677).
Fix
docker-driver-gateway-config.ts: add readStateScopedSandboxNamespace(stateDir). It returns the namespace only when the gateway config proves a scoped identity. hasStateScopedSandboxNamespace now uses it.
adapters/docker/inspect.ts: the existing identity listing (docker ps with a format string) now also prints the openshell.ai/sandbox-namespace label. Destroy does not run a separate inspect per container.
destroy-presence.ts: add readSandboxGatewaySandboxNamespace(sandboxName). It finds the gateway whose registry owns the sandbox (findSandboxAcrossGatewayRoots, the owner lookup destroy already uses) and reads that gateway's namespace from the sandbox's recorded openshellGatewayStateDir, or from the port-derived state directory when none is recorded. It returns null when no single registry owns the sandbox. When it returns a namespace, observeDestroyContainerIdentity drops a managed row only when its listed namespace label is valid and names a different namespace.
destroy-execution.ts: the exact Docker cleanup uses the same scoped observation. Destroy passes the proven namespace to the privileged control.
runtime-provider/contract.ts, docker-privileged-sandbox-control.ts: add an optional sandboxNamespace input. When a caller passes it, container discovery adds a Docker label filter for that namespace. The runtime-provider layer does not read gateway config itself, which keeps the import graph acyclic.
managed-startup/provider-root-apply.ts, sandbox-create/orchestration.ts: onboarding's managed startup step found the created container by name only, so a same-name container from another gateway made it fail as ambiguous. Orchestration now passes the selected gateway's state directory, and discovery adds the proven namespace filter.
docs/reference/commands.mdx: document the scoping and the cases that still fail closed. The inspection query now prints the namespace label.
Managed containers whose namespace label cannot be read.
Any gateway that cannot prove a scoped namespace, including legacy gateways that use the default namespace.
A sandbox that no single gateway registry owns.
Other name-only lookups (connect boundary refusal, onboarding identity checks other than managed startup, privileged control calls from other commands) are not changed in this PR.
Verification
Live, Ubuntu 24.04 x86_64 test host, two Linux users, fresh uninstall of both before each run
Step
Before (main)
After (this branch)
User B (OpenClaw) destroy --yes while user A's sandbox exists
exit 1, "2 managed containers carry the … label"
Destroyed. User A's container stays running.
User B (Hermes) destroy --yes while user A's sandbox exists
exit 1, same refusal
Destroyed, user A's container stays running. Verified on the intermediate build with the identity and exact-cleanup changes; the final build was verified with OpenClaw for user B.
User A (Deep Agents) destroy --yes while user B's sandbox exists
Not reached on main; with only the identity check fixed it stopped at native-home cleanup: "Multiple OpenShell containers are labeled for sandbox 'my-assistant'"
✓ Sandbox 'my-assistant' destroyed. User B's container stays running.
Then the remaining user destroys
—
Destroyed. No container with the label remains.
Rerun after the Advisor follow-up (namespace read from the identity listing, recorded state directory, managed startup scoping): main at ef3ffec452 plus this branch, fresh uninstall of both users. User A (Deep Agents) and user B (OpenClaw) onboard with the same name (both exit 0), user B destroys (exit 0, user A's container stays), then user A destroys (exit 0). No container with the label remains.
An intermediate build that scoped only the identity check showed that the exact cleanup also needs the scoped observation. OpenShell deleted user B's sandbox, but the cleanup then refused because of user A's container: "found labeled Docker container(s) outside the retained identity set". The final build passes both directions from a fresh state.
Unit tests
destroy-container-identity.test.ts: the observation drops a managed container only when it proves another namespace. It keeps the container for the same namespace, an unreadable namespace, a foreign container, and an unproven gateway namespace. A lone container from another namespace is dropped. Removing the filter fails the first row.
destroy-container-identity.test.ts: the namespace comes from the owning registry's gateway port; no owner and an ambiguous owner return null.
docker-privileged-sandbox-control.test.ts: discovery adds the namespace filter only when a namespace is passed. Not passing it through fails the namespace row.
destroy-native-home-fallback.test.ts: destroy passes the owning namespace to the privileged execute, executeAsSandboxUser, and clearStoppedNativeHome inputs, and passes none when no namespace is proven. Removing any one of the three hand-offs fails it.
destroy-container-identity.test.ts: a recorded custom gateway state directory is used before the port default; a non-normalized recorded directory returns null.
provider-root-apply.test.ts: managed startup discovery receives the namespace only when the gateway state directory proves one. Not passing it fails the namespace row.
Not unit-tested: that destroy-execution passes the scope to the exact cleanup, and that orchestration passes the gateway state directory to managed startup. The live runs cover the exact cleanup. Managed startup did not run in the live configurations below, so its change is covered only by the unit test.
Targeted suites (src/lib/actions/sandbox/destroy*, src/lib/onboard/runtime-provider, src/lib/actions/sandbox/lifecycle, growth guardrails) pass. One test, destroy-podman-cleanup-flow.test.ts > recovers Podman authority when final cleanup is retried after registry removal, fails locally on main without this change too.
npm run typecheck:cli reports only the 2 existing @nvidia/openshell-sdk module errors. prek pre-commit hooks pass, including source-architecture.
Only x86_64 was tested. The reporter used Ubuntu 26.04; I tested on Ubuntu 24.04.
…y namespace
Gateways on one Docker host can reuse a sandbox name in their own scoped
sandbox namespaces. Destroy matched containers by the mutable name label
only, so it refused to destroy either sandbox once another gateway used
the same name.
When the selected gateway proves its scoped namespace, destroy now
ignores OpenShell-managed containers that prove a different namespace,
in the identity check, the exact Docker cleanup, and privileged native-
home discovery. Foreign containers, unreadable namespaces, and legacy
gateways still fail closed.

Destroy and Docker target discovery now use a proven gateway sandbox namespace to narrow container matching. When namespace evidence is unavailable or invalid, matching remains unscoped. Docker identity inspection now reads and parses namespace labels.
Docker identity inspection now includes and parses a namespace field. Direct and stopped-container discovery apply a namespace label filter when a namespace is provided. Tests and fixtures use the expanded identity row format.
Managed-startup completion reads the selected gateway’s scoped namespace and passes it to container target resolution when available. Tests cover proven and unavailable namespaces.
Destroy resolves the owning gateway namespace, passes it to cleanup operations, and excludes managed containers with a different valid namespace from observed matches. Foreign containers and containers with missing or invalid namespace evidence remain visible. Tests and documentation cover the matching behavior.
Legacy resume can fail when it searches the wrong gateway namespace. Establish ownership before using the fallback directory and strengthen the scoped lifecycle tests before merging.

Destroy can target a sandbox registered under another gateway root. Read
the scoped namespace from the gateway whose registry owns the sandbox
instead of the ambient gateway port, and do not scope when no single
registry owns it. Show the namespace label in the documented inspection
query and explain which containers can remain when destroy is retried.

Destroy inspected each same-name managed container separately to read its
namespace label, with a 30-second bound per container and no overall
bound. Read the namespace label in the existing identity listing instead
and drop the per-container inspection.
Resolve the owning gateway namespace from the sandbox's recorded
openshellGatewayStateDir when present, and from the port-derived state
directory otherwise.
Managed startup during onboarding also found the created container by
name only, so a same-name container from another gateway made it fail as
ambiguous. It now narrows discovery to the selected gateway's proven
namespace.
Add a destroy test that checks every privileged native-home cleanup
receives the namespace.

Prove scoped destroy through the public entrypoint.
The public destroy fixtures use empty namespace fields, so they do not prove that destroySandbox removes the owning container while preserving a same-name container in another proven namespace. Add that case through the public entrypoint, and retain a separate refusal case for an unproven namespace.

Exercise namespace selection through the public boundary.
resolveTarget always returns CONTAINER_ID, so this test checks only argument forwarding. It cannot detect selection of the wrong same-name container or unscoped ambiguity.
Use the real resolver with a fake Docker boundary containing same-name containers in different namespaces. Assert that the scoped transaction uses the expected container and that the unscoped case fails as ambiguous. The existing resolver test checks only the generated filter with one candidate, and the managed-startup ambiguity test injects an error instead of exercising Docker selection.

Do not pass an unproven gateway namespace during legacy resume.
A legacy checkpoint may omit openshellGatewayStateDir. The current fallback then supplies a directory selected from the current environment or gateway binding without proving that it owns the resumed sandbox. Managed startup uses that directory to filter discovery and may fail to find the sandbox.
Do not replace the fallback with undefined without an ownership-safe flow. An absent directory removes the namespace filter and can make same-name containers ambiguous. Resolve a directory from checkpoint-bound authority, or fail closed before managed startup when no such authority exists.

Summary
When two Linux users on one Docker host run their own NemoClaw gateways and use the same sandbox name,
destroyrefused to destroy either sandbox. Each gateway labels its containers with its own scopedopenshell.ai/sandbox-namespace, but destroy matched containers by the mutableopenshell.ai/sandbox-namelabel only.
