Description
On Ubuntu 24.04 (DGX Spark, aarch64) with nemoclaw v0.0.52, the cloudflared public-URL tunnel feature is implemented (subcommands tunnel start and tunnel stop exist and respond to --help), but it is hidden from the top-level help surface and missing a tunnel status introspection subcommand. A user cannot discover the feature through normal exploration:
nemoclaw help lists 21 actions under Sandbox Management / Skills / Policy Presets / Messaging Channels — none of them is tunnel. The feature is invisible.
nemoclaw tunnel (the natural first try) prints command tunnel not found instead of a subcommand index.
nemoclaw tunnel --help ALSO prints command tunnel not found — group-level help is unregistered.
nemoclaw tunnel status prints command tunnel:status not found — there is no introspection for "is the tunnel currently running and what is the public URL?". Today the only way to know is to look at nemoclaw <name> doctor output (which exposes a cloudflared: stopped/running line) or to grep the process list.
The subcommands themselves DO work:
nemoclaw tunnel start --help → "Start the cloudflared public-URL tunnel"
nemoclaw tunnel stop --help → "Stop the cloudflared public-URL tunnel"
- Source files:
src/commands/tunnel/start.ts + src/commands/tunnel/stop.ts in the npm install.
DevTest case 639407 (folder 1179566 \DevTest\NemoClaw\NemoClaw Test\v0.0.52\manual\cli) is what surfaced this. Net effect: feature exists, but pure-help-driven discovery says it does not — and there is no way to query tunnel state without doctor.
Note on the original filing: I initially claimed the feature was absent. That was wrong evidence — strings ~/.local/bin/nemoclaw returns nothing because nemoclaw is a TS-source npm install, not a compiled binary; the bash wrapper at that path has no symbols. I should have checked the npm install tree at ~/.nvm/versions/node/<ver>/lib/node_modules/nemoclaw/src/commands/. Apologies for the false alarm in the original description — this issue body has been rewritten to reflect the actual finding.
Environment
Device: DGX Spark 10.173.104.110
OS: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Architecture: aarch64
Node.js: v22.22.3
npm: 10.9.8
Docker: present (container runtime functional)
OpenShell CLI: 0.0.44 (docker driver)
NemoClaw: v0.0.52
OpenClaw: 2026.5.22 (a374c3a)
cloudflared: not installed on host; `which cloudflared` → command not found
Steps to Reproduce
- On a v0.0.52 host with at least one onboarded sandbox, try the natural discovery path:
nemoclaw help | grep -i tunnel # no output — feature not listed
nemoclaw tunnel # command tunnel not found
nemoclaw tunnel --help # command tunnel not found
- With prior knowledge (only obtainable from source code or
doctor output), invoke the actual subcommand:
nemoclaw tunnel start --help # prints proper usage doc
nemoclaw tunnel stop --help # prints proper usage doc
- Try the missing
status introspection:
nemoclaw tunnel status --help # command tunnel:status not found
- Confirm
doctor exposes the state via a side channel:
nemoclaw <name> doctor
# Local services:
# [info] cloudflared: stopped
# hint: no cloudflared process; run `nemoclaw tunnel start` to start it
This is currently the only built-in way for a user to learn the feature exists.
Expected Result
nemoclaw help should include a "Public-URL Tunnel" or "Sharing" section listing nemoclaw tunnel start / nemoclaw tunnel stop / nemoclaw tunnel status so the feature is discoverable.
nemoclaw tunnel (no subcommand) should print a subcommand index (start / stop / status), not "command not found".
nemoclaw tunnel --help should print group-level help with the same index.
nemoclaw tunnel status should exist and report:
- whether the local cloudflared process is running,
- what sandbox dashboard URL it is publishing,
- the public HTTPS URL,
- uptime / health.
Actual Result
$ nemoclaw help | grep -i -E 'tunnel|cloudflare|public'
(no output — feature is not listed)
$ nemoclaw tunnel
command tunnel not found
$ nemoclaw tunnel --help
command tunnel not found
$ nemoclaw tunnel start --help
Start the cloudflared public-URL tunnel
USAGE
$ nemoclaw tunnel start
FLAGS
-h, --help Show CLI help.
DESCRIPTION
Start the cloudflared public-URL tunnel
Start the cloudflared public-URL tunnel for the default sandbox dashboard.
EXAMPLES
$ nemoclaw tunnel start
$ nemoclaw tunnel stop --help
Stop the cloudflared public-URL tunnel
USAGE
$ nemoclaw tunnel stop
[...]
$ nemoclaw tunnel status --help
command tunnel:status not found
