fix(gateway): share approval runtime socket token#87105
Conversation

Codex review: needs maintainer review before merge. Reviewed June 8, 2026, 9:41 AM ET / 13:41 UTC. Summary PR surface: Source +89, Tests +330. Total +419 across 8 files. Reproducibility: yes. from source inspection: current main only creates a process-local random approval-runtime token, so a separate process sharing OPENCLAW_HOME cannot derive the same token. I did not run a live repro in this read-only review. Review metrics: none identified. Merge readiness Overall follows the weaker of proof and patch quality, so missing proof can cap an otherwise strong patch. Rank-up moves:

Security Review detailsBest possible solution: Land this only after maintainers accept the shared local-token trust boundary and compatibility behavior, keeping runtime authority limited to generated local/fallback gateway sources with the current regression coverage. Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue? Yes, from source inspection: current main only creates a process-local random approval-runtime token, so a separate process sharing OPENCLAW_HOME cannot derive the same token. I did not run a live repro in this read-only review. Is this the best way to solve the issue? Yes, this looks like the best bounded implementation if maintainers accept the trust model: the PR derives a scoped token instead of sending the raw socket token, rejects remote locality on the server, and keeps env/configured remote paths on requester identity. AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant. Codex review notes: model gpt-5.5, reasoning high; reviewed against 9a82b60024b5. Label changesLabel changes:

Behavior addressed: A separate approval-runtime process sharing
OPENCLAW_HOMEcan authenticate with the existingexec-approvals.jsonsocket token and resolve a requester-bound approval. Env/configured remote gateway URL sources omitapprovalRuntimeTokenand cannot resolve requester-bound approvals without normal owner visibility/runtime authority. Env-selected approval request/wait calls keep requester identity. Remote mode withoutgateway.remote.urlkeeps the existing fallback-local approval-runtime behavior.Real environment tested: Current PR head

Observed result after fix: The current-head focused proof covers shared-token derivation, approval-client token omission/preservation rules, server-side remote locality rejection, and the agent-tool fallback-local regression. The new regression asserts
gateway.mode=remotewithoutgateway.remote.urlkeepsapprovalRuntimeTokenand does not switch to requesterdeviceIdentity.What was not tested: No Docker Compose smoke was run. The earlier live two-process smoke used two Node processes on one host sharing
OPENCLAW_HOME; the current-head proof reran the affected gateway and agent shards on Testbox after the fallback-local fix.Tests and validation

Did user-visible behavior change?
YesDid config, environment, or migration behavior change?
NoDid security, auth, secrets, network, or tool execution behavior change?
YesHighest-risk area: approval-runtime authentication for local approval clients sharing OpenClaw state.
Mitigation: Shared-token selection only reads an existing socket token; it does not create the shared file. The approval client attaches the runtime token only for generated local/fallback gateway URL sources; env, explicit, and configured remote URL sources omit it. Env-selected and configured-remote approval calls use stable requester device identity instead of runtime authority, and fail before opening a gateway connection if that identity cannot be loaded.
