## Summary

Updates OpenShell from 0.0.101 to 0.0.106 using the sealed NemoPin
migration evidence. Release-trust prerequisite #9224 is merged on
`main`, and the E2E-selector work from #9378 is included in this branch.
The PR is reconciled with current `main` at latest PR commit
`e3a53c96f`.
<!-- 1-3 plain sentences: what changes and why. Describe
before-and-after behavior when it applies. Follow the NemoClaw Writing
Guide: https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/blob/main/WRITING.md. Do not
add unrelated prose cleanup. -->

## Changes

- Applies only paths authorized by
`sha256:65355e5c4180f3716fd8e0d0431d432a876460a7005db6099fa18a8599c3037e`.
- Migrates the exact base `44c2636d85f788f81767fbb451717566e0a8d475`
across 5 adjacent release ranges.
- Reconciles the migration with current `main` at base commit
`40dc27283`, includes the reviewed E2E-selector work from #9378, adopts
the upstream messaging-plan fixture fix from #9517, and hardens
runtime-identity qualification for cold 0.0.106 onboarding while
recording the attached-provider post-state.

### Validation receipt

|---|---|
| targeted | Passed: 609 assertions with 1 intentional skip across the
migration/runtime suites, 290/290 E2E registry/workflow overlap
assertions, and 73/73 onboarding-preflight overlap assertions on
`cc9167892`. After the final main reconciliation, 32/32
conflict-sensitive gateway/TLS assertions and `npm run validate:pr`
passed on latest PR commit `d1990537d`. |

[32199961381](https://github.com/NVIDIA/NemoClaw/actions/runs/32199961381)
on PR commit `cc9167892` with trusted base/workflow `a9fc8045d` passed
5/7 cases. TC-INF-12 and TC-INF-13 both completed cold onboarding,
plan/apply, provider attachment, token refresh, and post-attach
inference; OpenShell 0.0.106 then failed to project `E2E_ACCESS_TOKEN` /
`ENTRA_ACCESS_TOKEN` into 19 fresh sandbox execs over 35 seconds.
Protected managed-image runtime was not launched because inference is
its prerequisite. This is a repeated upstream runtime-credential
projection blocker, not a waived gate. |
<!-- List concrete changes. If this adds an abstraction, configuration,
fallback, migration, or compatibility path, name its current requirement
and consumer, explain why a direct change is insufficient, and identify
the test that protects it. -->

## Type of Change

- [ ] Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
- [x] Code change with doc updates
- [ ] Doc only (prose changes, no code sample modifications)
- [ ] Doc only (includes code sample changes)

## Quality Gates
<!-- Check one tests line and one docs line. Check other lines when
applicable. Add every requested justification or approval reference. -->
- [x] Tests added or updated for changed behavior
- [ ] Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
- [ ] Tests not applicable — justification:
- [x] Docs updated for user-facing behavior changes
- [ ] Docs not applicable — justification:
- [x] Sensitive paths changed (security, policy, credentials, preflight,
onboarding, inference, runner, sandbox, or messaging)
- [x] Sensitive-path review completed or maintainer-approved waiver
recorded — reviewer/approval link/justification: Independent
exact-commit review passed for the OpenShell 0.0.106 migration and
stacked E2E selector.
- [ ] Non-success, skipped, or missing CI check accepted by maintainer —
check name, approval link, and follow-up issue:

## Documentation Writer Review
<!-- Required for code and documentation changes after the changes and
applicable validation are complete. Keep one review checkbox and one
instance of each visible or hidden field. For Evidence, list changed
documentation paths. For documentation-only changes, also state that the
writing rules and documentation style were reviewed. For other results,
explain why no documentation change is needed or why the review is
blocked. For Agent, use a consistent product and surface name, such as
Codex Desktop, Codex CLI, Claude Code, or Cursor. After committing all
review changes, put `git rev-parse --short HEAD` and `git rev-parse
--short HEAD:AGENTS.md` in the hidden metadata below. Rerun the review
and refresh that metadata after any new commit. This receipt is advisory
during the data-collection pilot. -->

## Verification
<!-- Check each applicable item only when supported by the requested
evidence. Run targeted tests once per relevant change set and rerun
after later edits or hook autofixes that can affect the tested behavior.
Do not rerun hook-covered checks. -->
- [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 — 609 assertions passed with 1
intentional skip across the migration/runtime suites, followed by
290/290 E2E registry/workflow overlap assertions and 73/73
onboarding-preflight overlap assertions on `cc9167892`; 32/32
conflict-sensitive gateway/TLS assertions and `npm run validate:pr` then
passed after the final main reconciliation on latest PR commit
`d1990537d`.
- [x] Applicable broad gate passed — GitHub reports no required checks
for this branch. Optional checks do not gate review unless they expose a
PR defect.
- [x] Quality Gates section completed with required justifications or
waivers
- [x] No secrets, API keys, or credentials committed

## NemoPatch current-head status

- Status: **blocked**
- Latest PR commit: `d1990537d9b9c8579c3197cba33faddaeb9aa101`
- Checked: 2026-08-19T02:46:48Z

- Reconciled with `main` at base commit `ee6762b99`; 32/32
conflict-sensitive gateway/TLS assertions, local PR validation, and all
45 applicable current-commit GitHub checks pass. The two advisor
services failed analysis without findings. Exact inference on
`cc9167892` with trusted base/workflow `a9fc8045d` passed 5/7 and
repeatedly isolated an OpenShell 0.0.106 runtime-credential projection
failure after successful provider attachment and refresh. Protected
managed-image E2E remains gated; maintainer/upstream resolution is
required.
