Full details: Linked Issues checkExplanation The changes address both linked issues. They carry authoritative legacy DGX Station qualification through rebuild preflight and add managed, fail-closed Hermes state backup and restoration for permission-denied captures. Tests cover positive and negative qualification, capture, recovery, and restoration behavior. [ Full details: Out of Scope Changes checkExplanation The snapshot, backup-authority, state-recovery, supervisor-relaunch, and related test changes support the linked rebuild-recovery objectives.

1311-1334: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConstrain the recovered archive to the denied directory names.
safeTarExtractvalidates only containment insidebackupPath. It does not check that archive entries belong todenied. A capture callback that returns extra top-level entries would overwrite directories already recorded inbackedUpDirs, and the manifest would then report content that came from the retry instead of the restricted tar. The current Hermes handler passes onlydeniedtotar, so this is defensive hardening rather than an active defect.Validate the top-level entry names before extraction.

The
backupmock replaces the state layer and never callscaptureStateFileorcaptureStateDirectories. The assertiondockerSpawnSyncwas not called therefore holds for any wiring, including wiring that forgot to pass the callbacks. The test does not exercise the claim.Assert the forwarded options instead, so the test fails if the wiring changes.

- Around line 119-124: Update the version pattern in
hasLegacyDgxStationQualificationAuthority to accept patch components only as 0
or nonzero-leading digits (0|[1-9]\d*), while preserving the existing prefix,
prerelease, and safe-integer checks; ensure v0.0.096 is rejected.
In `@src/lib/actions/sandbox/snapshot/backup-authority.ts`:
- Around line 233-269: Update HERMES_STATE_CAPTURE_SCRIPT to safely resolve each
relative path component beneath base using dir_fd and O_NOFOLLOW, rejecting
intermediate symlinks before opening the target. Preserve the existing
validation, SQLite backup, streaming, and post-read metadata checks while
ensuring captureHermesStateFile cannot read outside /sandbox/.hermes through
replaced directory components.
- Around line 53-55: Increase HERMES_CAPTURE_MAX_BUFFER used by the privileged
capture path in backupStateFile from 17 MiB to 256 MiB so stdout exceeding the
SSH capture limit does not cause spawnSync to fail with ENOBUFS; keep the
existing capture behavior otherwise unchanged.
In `@test/agents/hermes/hermes-kanban-snapshot.test.ts`:
- Around line 168-189: Update the unreadable-file test around “classifies an
unreadable Hermes SQLite file before opening the database” to skip or return
early when process.getuid() indicates the test is running as root (UID 0).
Preserve the existing permission assertions for non-root runners.

Outcome
Legacy Hermes sandboxes can now complete manual and automatic rebuild recovery after an upgrade. Rebuild admission reuses authoritative Station qualification evidence, and permission-denied Hermes state is captured through constrained privileged backup authority before the sandbox is replaced.
Reason
Older working sandboxes can become stale after a NemoClaw upgrade. Recovery previously stopped first at Station qualification and then at backup when the sandbox user could not read intact Hermes state, leaving no supported data-preserving rebuild path.

This change touches privileged backup authority. Privileged capture is limited to permission-denied declared state for the bound sandbox; arbitrary paths, incomplete output, command failure, and integrity failure remain blocking. Three fresh-context reviews covered correctness and regressions, tests and validation, and simplicity and maintainability.
The local broad suite is not green on this machine. The documented gate path for unrelated failures was used after an isolated changed-tree run, a clean
origin/maincomparison, and serial confirmation of the remaining failure classes. The user approved proceeding; no CI waiver is requested.Signed-off-by: Yimo Jiang yimoj@nvidia.com
