Description

On macOS with Colima as the Docker runtime, `nemoclaw onboard` fails at the gateway-start step because openshell-gateway hardcodes the socket path /var/run/docker.sock and does not respect DOCKER_HOST or detect Colima's socket at ~/.colima/docker.sock. The sandbox image is built successfully, but the gateway then aborts with FailedPrecondition "Socket not found".

Device:        MacBook (arm64)
OS:            macOS 26.1 (Darwin 25.1.0, arm64)
Architecture:  arm64
Node.js:       v23.10.0
npm:           11.3.0
Docker:        27.4.0 (via Colima 0.10.1, context=colima)
OpenShell CLI: 0.0.39
NemoClaw:      v0.0.41 (installed via curl https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh)
OpenClaw:      N/A (onboard not completed)

1. macOS with Colima as Docker runtime (no Docker Desktop installed).
   colima start
   docker context show   # -> colima
   ls /var/run/docker.sock   # -> does not exist
   ls ~/.colima/docker.sock  # -> exists
2. curl -fsSL https://www.nvidia.com/nemoclaw.sh | NEMOCLAW_ACCEPT_THIRD_PARTY_SOFTWARE=1 bash
3. Installer runs through image build (65 docker build steps complete).
4. Onboard step "Built image openshell/sandbox-from:" succeeds.
5. Gateway immediately errors out.

Onboard auto-detects the active Docker socket — either by honoring DOCKER_HOST,
reading `docker context inspect`, or probing ~/.colima/docker.sock /
~/.docker/run/docker.sock — and the gateway connects without manual workaround.

Error:   x status: FailedPrecondition, message: "failed to connect to local Docker

Pre-install state (Colima running, default docker context):
  $ docker context show
  colima
  $ ls -la /var/run/docker.sock
  ls: /var/run/docker.sock: No such file or directory
  $ ls -la ~/.colima/docker.sock

  (empty — relying on docker context for socket discovery)
