Summary

Adds nemoclaw setup-apple — a macOS-equivalent of setup-spark that validates and configures Apple Silicon (and Intel) Macs for NemoClaw.

What it does

  • Architecture detection — Apple Silicon (ARM64) vs Intel, Rosetta 2 warning
  • Docker validation — Docker Desktop & Colima socket detection, memory check (warns < 8GB)
  • Ollama setup — checks installation, verifies OLLAMA_HOST=0.0.0.0 binding for Docker access
  • OpenShell CLI — installs if missing, with checksum verification (SHA256SUMS)
  • Apple GPU detection — chip name, GPU cores, unified memory via system_profiler (with 15s timeout)
  • nvm PATH fix — warns about Node version mismatch issue (install.sh: Node version mismatch, SSH protocol, and stale recovery hint #120)
  • No sudo required — unlike setup-spark, macOS doesn't need daemon.json or group changes

Security improvements

install-openshell.sh hardened:

  • SHA256 checksum verification of downloaded binary
  • File validation (confirms gzip tarball before extracting)
  • Binary validation (confirms executable after extraction)
  • Trap-based cleanup on error
  • Clear sudo prompts before privilege escalation

setup-apple.sh:

  • printf instead of echo -e (injection prevention)
  • HOME env var validation (absolute path check)
  • Numeric validation before Docker memory comparison
  • 15s timeout on system_profiler (can hang on some Macs)

Test results

  • 30 new tests in test/setup-apple.test.js — all pass
  • All 56 existing tests — still pass (86 total)
  • Manual testing on M3 Max — successful

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/install-openshell.sh`:
- Around line 25-62: The download is saved as "$tmpdir/openshell.tar.gz" but the
SHA256SUMS entries reference the actual asset filename ($ASSET), causing shasum
-c to fail; change the curl download to save to "$tmpdir/$ASSET" (use the ASSET
variable) and update subsequent references—file validation, checksum grep/shasum
invocation, and tar extraction—to operate on "$tmpdir/$ASSET" instead of
"$tmpdir/openshell.tar.gz" so the names match the SHA256SUMS entries and
verification succeeds (adjust usages around DOWNLOAD_URL, CHECKSUM_URL,
SHA256SUMS, grep "$ASSET" | shasum -a 256 -c -s, and the tar xzf invocation).

In `@scripts/setup-apple.sh`:
- Around line 145-156: The script currently treats any non-empty OLLAMA_HOST as
valid; update the check around the OLLAMA_HOST handling to parse out the host
(e.g., strip the port with parameter expansion) and reject common loopback
values (localhost, 127.* , ::1) as not container-reachable; keep using the same
info/warn helpers but only call info "OLLAMA_HOST=..." when the parsed host is
not a loopback and equals a container-reachable value (e.g., 0.0.0.0 or a
non-loopback IP/hostname), otherwise emit the existing warn messages. Locate the
OLLAMA_HOST conditional and adjust the validation logic that determines whether
to call info vs warn (refer to the OLLAMA_HOST variable and the info/warn calls
in that block).
- Around line 79-121: The script currently calls docker info without targeting
the detected DOCKER_SOCKET, causing wrong results when multiple Docker contexts
exist; update both places where docker is invoked (the connectivity check `if !
docker info > /dev/null 2>&1; then` and the memory probe that sets
`DOCKER_MEM_BYTES=$(docker info --format '{{.MemTotal}}' 2>/dev/null || echo
"0")`) to explicitly use the detected socket by invoking docker with the host
set to the socket (e.g. either prefix with `DOCKER_HOST=unix://$DOCKER_SOCKET`
or use `docker --host unix://$DOCKER_SOCKET`), making sure all docker calls in
this block reference `DOCKER_SOCKET` so the connectivity and memory checks
target the same socket that was detected earlier.
- Around line 52-64: The current logic checks sysctl.proc_translated only inside
the ARM branch, causing Rosetta-launched shells (uname -m == x86_64) to be
misclassified as Intel; change the detection order to first query hardware
capability using sysctl -n hw.optional.arm64 (or check sysctl.proc_translated
separately) before branching on ARCH, then set ARCH-aware messages: use the
hw.optional.arm64 result to detect Apple Silicon hardware regardless of process
translation and still warn when sysctl.proc_translated == 1 about Rosetta;
adjust the conditional that currently references ARCH and sysctl.proc_translated
so the script prints the native-ARM recommendations when hardware is Apple
Silicon even if uname -m reports x86_64.
- Around line 175-180: The script uses GNU `timeout` which isn't available on
stock macOS, causing GPU_INFO to be empty; replace that call with a portable
timeout strategy (e.g., use a Perl alarm wrapper: run system_profiler via `perl
-e 'alarm shift; exec `@ARGV`' 15 system_profiler SPDisplaysDataType` or implement
a shell watchdog that spawns system_profiler in background, records its PID,
sleeps 15s then kills the PID if still running) and update the GPU detection
block that sets GPU_INFO to use the chosen portable runner (referencing GPU_INFO
and system_profiler in the same block); optionally detect gtimeout and prefer it
if present as a final fallback.

In `@test/setup-apple.test.js`:
- Around line 179-250: The tests in the "Docker socket detection" and "Docker
memory allocation checks" suites are nondeterministic because they use real
filesystem and runtime state (fs.existsSync, os.homedir, process.platform,
runSetupApple) and short-circuit with assert.ok(true); replace those
placeholders by mocking the environment: stub process.platform and os.homedir,
create temporary directories and Unix sockets at the paths built with path.join
(e.g., ".docker/run/docker.sock", ".colima/.../docker.sock"), and stub external
commands used by the setup logic (uname, docker, curl, system_profiler) to
return deterministic outputs; then call runSetupApple() (and any other setup
functions exercised in the surrounding ranges) and assert on the expected
strings ("Docker Desktop detected", "Colima detected", memory warning messages)
instead of assert.ok(true) so CI covers both presence and absence branches
reliably.
- Around line 14-35: runSetupApple currently runs `bash` via PATH lookup which
can fail when tests override PATH with a mockBin; change the execSync invocation
so the shell is invoked directly (use the absolute `/bin/bash` executable) and
pass SETUP_APPLE_SCRIPT as its argument, or alternately ensure the env passed to
execSync preserves the original system PATH (e.g., merge process.env.PATH into
env) so callers that replace PATH with mock bins don't cause `bash: command not
found`; update the execSync call in runSetupApple to reference `/bin/bash` or
merge PATH in the env before running the script.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Most of these cases don't assert the branch they claim to cover.

Lines 186-189, 235-236, 247-249, 311-314, 447-449, and 640-642 all pass with assert.ok(true, ...), and many surrounding cases only assert if the current host already has Docker/Ollama/OpenShell installed. That leaves the new setup logic largely untested in CI. Please make these branches deterministic with mocked uname/docker/curl/system_profiler, a fake HOME, and temporary Unix sockets instead of depending on local machine state.

Also applies to: 283-394, 397-450, 453-660

28-58: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Checksum verification still targets a different filename than the downloaded asset.

Line 28 saves the tarball as openshell.tar.gz, but Line 48 verifies the checksum entry for $ASSET via shasum -c, which expects the checksum-listed filename to exist in the working directory. This will break verification when checksums are published for the asset filename. The same mismatch propagates to extraction on Line 58.

mihai-chiorean added a commit to mihai-chiorean/NemoClaw that referenced this pull request Mar 18, 2026
Critical fixes based on code review feedback:

install-openshell.sh:
- Fix checksum verification filename mismatch by saving download as $ASSET
  instead of openshell.tar.gz to match SHA256SUMS entries
- Ensures shasum -c can verify the downloaded file correctly

setup-apple.sh:
- Use detected DOCKER_SOCKET for all docker commands via DOCKER_HOST env var
  to fix issues with multiple Docker contexts
- Add OLLAMA_HOST validation to reject loopback addresses (localhost, 127.*, ::1)
  and warn users that containers cannot reach loopback bindings
- Fix Rosetta 2 detection by checking hw.optional.arm64 first to detect Apple
  Silicon hardware even when uname reports x86_64 under translation
- Replace GNU timeout with portable solution: try gtimeout, fall back to Perl
  alarm wrapper, or run without timeout if neither available

All 86 tests pass. Manual testing verified on M3 Max.

34-37: Consider explicit file command check or consistent error handling.

If the file command is unavailable, 2>/dev/null suppresses the error, causing a misleading message about "not a valid gzip tarball" rather than indicating the missing dependency. Line 70 doesn't redirect file errors, creating inconsistency.

♻️ Suggested consistency fix

Either check for file upfront or handle both locations consistently:

+# Verify required tools
+command -v file >/dev/null 2>&1 || fail "Required command 'file' not found"
+
 # Validate the downloaded file is actually a gzip tarball
-if ! file "$tmpdir/$ASSET" 2>/dev/null | grep -q "gzip compressed data"; then
+if ! file "$tmpdir/$ASSET" | grep -q "gzip compressed data"; then
   fail "Downloaded file is not a valid gzip tarball. GitHub may be unavailable or the release may be missing."

44-58: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Fail closed when checksum metadata is unavailable.

Line 48 and Line 57 still allow installation to continue without a verified checksum. That keeps an unverified install path open in a hardened installer; please abort by default and require an explicit insecure override.

93-94: Minor: Version output may duplicate program name.

If openshell --version outputs something like openshell 1.2.3, the result would be openshell openshell 1.2.3. Consider capturing just the version number or using the raw output directly.

 # Verify installation using the full path to ensure we check the just-installed binary

+printf "openshell installed: %s\n" "$(/usr/local/bin/openshell --version 2>&1 || echo '(version unknown)')"

Or simply print the raw output:

-printf "openshell %s\n" "$(/usr/local/bin/openshell --version 2>&1 || echo 'installed')"
+/usr/local/bin/openshell --version 2>&1 || printf "openshell installed successfully\n"

55-55: Consider adding a fallback for sha256sum on minimal Linux systems.

The script uses shasum for checksum verification (line 55), which is available on macOS and most desktop Linux distributions. However, some minimal or musl-based Linux systems may only have sha256sum. Following the pattern already used for the file command check (line 23), consider detecting the available checksum tool upfront and using a fallback.

♻️ Suggested enhancement (optional)

Add after line 23:

# Determine checksum command
if command -v shasum >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  SHASUM_CMD="shasum -a 256"
elif command -v sha256sum >/dev/null 2>&1; then
  SHASUM_CMD="sha256sum"
else
  fail "Required command 'shasum' or 'sha256sum' not found"

* feat(tui): add log copy and visual selection mode

Add clipboard support for the TUI log viewer using OSC 52 escape
sequences. Users can copy individual log lines (y), the visible
viewport (Y), or enter visual selection mode (v) to select a range
of lines with j/k and yank with y.

- Add clipboard module with OSC 52 base64 encoding
- Add format_log_line_plain() for plain-text log rendering
- Add visual selection mode with highlight styling and status bar
- Context-switch nav bar hints between normal and visual modes
- Add 7 unit tests for plain-text log formatting

Closes NVIDIA#274

* fix(tui): write OSC 52 to /dev/tty instead of stdout

ratatui owns stdout via the alternate screen buffer, so OSC 52
escape sequences written to stdout are swallowed by the backend.
Write directly to /dev/tty to bypass the buffer and reach the
terminal emulator.

Add a new `nemoclaw setup-apple` command that validates macOS-specific
prerequisites before running `nemoclaw onboard`:

- Verify macOS platform and Node.js 20+
- Check Docker Desktop or Colima socket and memory allocation
- Check/recommend Ollama for local inference with OLLAMA_HOST binding
- Install openshell CLI if missing (Darwin/aarch64)
- Detect Apple GPU chip, cores, and unified memory
- Warn about nvm PATH issues (NVIDIA#120)
- Print next steps

Unlike setup-spark, this command does not require sudo since Docker
Desktop on macOS needs no daemon.json edits or group changes.
Add 30 tests covering all aspects of the setup-apple.sh script:
- Platform detection (macOS, Apple Silicon)
- Node.js version validation
- Docker socket detection (Desktop and Colima)
- Docker memory allocation checks
- Ollama installation and configuration
- OpenShell CLI installation
- Apple GPU detection and unified memory
- nvm warnings
- CLI integration via nemoclaw setup-apple

All tests pass on macOS. Tests are environment-aware and skip
appropriately on non-macOS platforms.
… robust error handling

Security improvements:
- Add SHA256 checksum verification when available
- Validate downloaded file is actually a gzip tarball
- Validate extracted binary is a valid executable
- Add trap for cleanup on error
- Better error messages with stderr redirection
- Prompt user before sudo with explanatory message

Error handling:
- Explicit error capture for curl and tar operations
- File type validation before extraction
- Binary existence check after extraction
- Use printf instead of echo for consistency

File permissions:
- Make script executable (chmod +x)
…er UX

Architecture & Platform Detection:
- Add Apple Silicon (ARM64) vs Intel Mac detection
- Add Rosetta 2 translation detection with performance warnings
- Validate HOME environment variable for security

Security Improvements:
- Replace echo -e with printf to prevent escape sequence injection
- Fix Docker memory check with proper numeric validation
- Add timeout (15s) to system_profiler to prevent hanging
- Send error messages to stderr appropriately

User Experience Improvements:
- Add Colima-specific DNS warning (handled during onboard)
- Add Colima-specific memory increase command
- Improve Ollama guidance with clearer skip instructions
- Add sudo warning before OpenShell CLI installation
- Better Node.js install instructions (brew + nodejs.org)
- Improve next steps messaging with detailed onboard actions
- Add visual spacing (echo "") between sections

Error Handling:
- Fix Docker memory allocation check (validate numeric before comparison)
- Handle system_profiler timeout gracefully
- Better error messaging for GPU detection failures

All 86 tests pass.
Security Fixes:
- Use grep -F for literal string matching in checksum verification
  (prevents regex injection via ASSET variable)
- Use subshell for checksum verification to avoid directory changes
- Add grep -F to Colima detection for literal string matching

Code Quality Improvements:
- Standardize helper functions to use echo -e (consistent with setup-spark)
- Improve HOME validation with clearer error messages for each failure mode
- Fix Docker memory check to validate DOCKER_MEM_BYTES before arithmetic
- Send warnings to stderr for proper error handling

All 86 tests pass. Manual testing verified on M3 Max.

Address CodeRabbit nitpick:
- Add upfront check for 'file' command to provide clear error if missing
- Remove 2>/dev/null from file validation to surface actual errors
- Ensures consistent error handling across both file command usages

Prevents misleading "not a valid gzip tarball" error when file command
is not available on the system.

Thanks for the PR. This overlaps with #285, which was opened the same day with the same setup-apple command. We're keeping one open for review — closing this in favor of #285 to consolidate feedback in one place.

If your implementation has capabilities not covered by #285, feel free to leave a comment there noting what's different.
