+"""Owner-controlled CAS-bound execution-envelope rebind for Online Agent Tasks.

+This service exists for a narrow recovery case: a Task was projected/claimed with a read-only
+source_capture envelope before its already-registered deterministic plan became authoritative.
+
+It never creates Tasks/Jobs/branches and never accepts arbitrary metadata patches. It only replaces
+metadata.execution + the derived execution_projection for the same governed binding, after an
+official NEEDS_REWORK transition has returned the Task to QUEUED with no active lease.

+"""Self-healing availability guard for persistent Online Agent workers.
+
+The guard never claims Tasks and never writes Task/Job/Git databases. It only:
+- ensures required worker/executor systemd units are enabled + active;
+- checks worker-owned liveness JSON written by the real poll/heartbeat loop;
+- restarts an active worker only when its liveness is stale;
+- honors an explicit maintenance inhibit file;
+- writes a bounded status JSON under /run for observability.
+
+Idle liveness is the successful poll loop itself. Busy liveness is refreshed by the
+Task lease-heartbeat thread, so long-running Tasks are not mistaken for hung workers.

+# External Agent Attempt-Scoped Request Identity
+
+## Problem
+
+External Agent execution previously derived its durable request ID from:
+
+```text
+task_id
+job_id
+execution_digest
+runtime
+```
+
+The Online Task attempt was missing.
+
+That is incorrect for retryable external side effects. A failed Model Governance route reservation is
+durable and terminal for that request ID. Reusing the same external request ID on a later official
+Task attempt therefore reuses the old route decision/reservation and can fail settlement with:
+
+```text
+MODEL_RESERVATION_STATE_INVALID
+```
+
+Archiving an exchange failed marker does not fix the root cause because the Model Governance
+reservation remains intentionally durable.
+
+## Contract
+
+External request identity is now:
+
+```text
+hash(
+  task_id,
+  job_id,
+  execution_digest,
+  runtime,
+  attempt
+)
+```
+
+The attempt is a **transient execution coordinate**. It is not added to the signed governed execution
+envelope and does not alter the Task/Job binding or execution digest.
+
+The worker gets the authoritative attempt from the successful claim response and passes it through:
+
+```text
+process_claim
+→ RuntimeAdapter.execute(..., attempt=N)
+→ ExternalAgentExecutor
+→ ExternalAgentExchange
+→ external request JSON
+→ external result JSON
+```
+
+The external result must bind the same attempt.
+
+## Idempotency
+
+This gives the intended two-level behavior:
+
+```text
+same Task/Job/execution/runtime + same attempt
+→ same external request ID
+→ same external result/reservation can be replayed safely
+
+same Task/Job/execution/runtime + next official attempt
+→ different external request ID
+→ different Model Governance request ID
+→ new reservation
+```
+
+Old FAILED reservations are retained for audit. No Model Governance DB cleanup is required or
+permitted.
+
+## Model Governance
+
+Model Governance already derives its route request ID from:
+
+```text
+external_request_id + ":model"
+```
+
+Therefore making the external request ID attempt-scoped automatically makes route decisions and
+reservations attempt-scoped without creating another state authority.
+
+## Recovery
+
+For the current Hermes live Task:
+
+```text
+attempt 6
+→ old request/reservation remains FAILED
+
+official NEEDS_REWORK
+→ bounded retry extension 6 → 7
+
+attempt 7
+→ new external request ID
+→ new route request ID
+→ new reservation
+→ provider execution
+→ settlement
+```
+
+No replacement Task/Job, direct DB rewrite, failed-reservation deletion or marker deletion is
+required.
+
+## Worker Availability
+
+The repair must preserve the already verified Worker Availability runtime. Runtime switches use the
+maintenance inhibit and must finish with the guard healthy and all three workers fresh.
+
+## Verification
+
+Required regression coverage:
+
+- request ID stable within one attempt;
+- request ID different across attempts;
+- request schema requires a valid attempt;
+- external result binds attempt;
+- old failed Model Governance reservation remains FAILED;
+- next attempt gets a new reservation and can settle;
+- existing external-agent and Model Governance runtime tests still pass.

+# Hermes / OpenClaw Online Agent Runtime
+
+## Goal
+
+Promote Hermes and OpenClaw from shadow-only adapter descriptions to real Online Agent workers
+without creating a second Task/claim protocol.
+
+Both workers reuse the existing P1/P2 Online Agent lifecycle:
+
+```text
+Online Task projected
+→ capability-filtered poll
+→ automatic claim
+→ heartbeat
+→ durable checkpoint
+→ external Agent execution
+→ attempt-aware result submission
+→ official verification
+```
+
+They do **not** change the existing TaskPlane `OpenClawAdapter/HermesAdapter` shadow contract. Those
+adapters remain side-effect-free compatibility surfaces.
+
+## Execution action
+
+The canonical execution envelope adds a read-only action:
+
+```text
+action=agent_runtime
+adapter=hermes | openclaw
+```
+
+The action requires capability `agent.runtime.<adapter>`, has an empty change set, no verification
+commands, and `writer_lease=false`.
+
+`project_online_task()` copies only bounded task fields into the signed execution envelope:
+
+- goal;
+- instructions;
+- success criteria;
+- non-secret constraints.
+
+The task may not choose a command, executable, URL, credential path, environment, or shell string.
+
+## Worker separation
+
+The generic engineering worker defaults to:
+
+```text
+AIOS_WORKER_ALLOWED_ADAPTERS=deterministic,source_capture,compact_interface_map,codex
+```
+
+so it skips Hermes/OpenClaw tasks before claim.
+
+Dedicated services advertise:
+
+```text
+Hermes:
+  AIOS_WORKER_CAPABILITIES=agent.runtime.hermes
+  AIOS_WORKER_ALLOWED_ADAPTERS=hermes
+
+OpenClaw:
+  AIOS_WORKER_CAPABILITIES=agent.runtime.openclaw
+  AIOS_WORKER_ALLOWED_ADAPTERS=openclaw
+```
+
+This makes adapter selection a pre-claim capability/fleet decision instead of a post-claim failure.
+
+## Credential-isolated executor
+
+The Online Agent worker itself still owns only Task API/Bridge coordination credentials. It writes
+a hash-bound request to `/var/lib/aios-external-agent-executor`.
+
+`aios-external-agent-executor.service` runs as the existing uncredentialed engineering executor user.
+It has:
+
+- one provider-only `LoadCredential` projection for the model-ready OneAPI environment;
+- `/etc/aios-gitops`, `/data/aios-gitops`, and the original provider-secret directory inaccessible;
+- no repository path;
+- no shell execution;
+- loopback denied, preventing direct access to the AIOS Task/Bridge control plane;
+- only the staging OneAPI container address allowed for the installed Agent runtime/provider;
+- only the exchange directory writable.
+
+The root-owned runtime profile in `/etc/aios/external-agent-runtime.d/<runtime>.json` decides the
+absolute executable, fixed non-secret environment, provider-only credential mapping, and I/O mode.
+A task cannot override any of these values. The profile may select `OPENAI_API_KEY` only from the
+systemd credential named `aios-external-agent-oneapi-env`; it cannot name a credential, inject an
+environment variable, or carry an inline secret. The runtime executor parses only the selected
+`ONEAPI_REGULAR_TOKEN` entry and does not expose the source file or other provider tiers to the
+child.
+
+## Runtime profile
+
+A profile supports:
+
+- `argv`: fixed argv, absolute allowlisted executable;
+- `input_mode`: `stdin_text`, `stdin_json`, or `file_json`;
+- `output_mode`: `stdout_text`, `stdout_json`, or `file_json`;
+- timeout;
+- bounded output size.
+
+`{input_json}` and `{output_json}` placeholders are allowed only for file modes. `{prompt}` is a
+root-profile-only argv placeholder populated from the bounded, signed task projection.
+
+The repository includes the staging profile templates validated against the installed Hermes
+v0.20.0 and OpenClaw v2026.7.2-beta.7 CLIs. Before activation, the Agent must re-run the actual
+`--help`/version probes and install the profiles and static configs root-owned. If the installed
+CLI differs, update only the root-owned profile/config projection and record the observed command;
+do not modify the Task contract to compensate.
+
+The provider projection is staging-only and uses the existing model-ready OneAPI source. It is not
+an AIOS Task, Bridge, GitOps, SSH, or Writer credential. Live activation remains blocked if the
+model-ready source cannot be projected through systemd or if the selected provider credential is
+missing/quota-invalid. This worker never passes API keys through task metadata or arbitrary
+environment variables.
+
+## Retry/restart
+
+The external request ID is deterministic over Task/Job/execution digest/runtime. The exchange keeps
+the request/result across worker restart. A repeated attempt with the exact execution digest reuses
+the durable external result instead of invoking the Agent twice.
+
+The normal P1 result idempotency/checkpoint path remains authoritative for Task result submission.
+
+## Result
+
+Successful execution returns:

+# AIOS Model Governance Runtime
+
+## Status and purpose
+
+This component turns the previously `PARTIAL` Model Governance interface map into an enforceable
+runtime policy for the already verified Hermes/OpenClaw Online Agent path.
+
+It is intentionally a **single SQLite library**, not a new network service. The existing external
+Agent executor calls the library immediately before launching a model-backed runtime and settles the
+same reservation immediately after the result.
+
+The authoritative execution chain remains:
+
+```text
+Online Task scope / trace
+→ dedicated worker claim + heartbeat
+→ external Agent executor
+→ ModelGovernanceStore.route()
+→ root-owned runtime profile binds provider/model/version
+→ Hermes / OpenClaw process
+→ ModelGovernanceStore.record_success() / record_failure()
+→ durable Online Agent checkpoint/result
+```
+
+P0 scope/trace/credential, P1 checkpoint/retry, P2 fleet scheduling and the existing external Agent
+credential boundary remain authoritative.
+
+## Ten Model Governance contracts
+
+### MODEL_PROVIDER_REGISTRY
+
+`model_governance_providers` stores provider identity, failure domain, circuit policy and an opaque
+credential reference. Raw credentials are rejected.
+
+Allowed reference prefixes:
+
+- `systemd-credential:`
+- `runtime-profile:`
+- `credential-broker:`
+
+### MODEL_SELECTION_POLICY
+
+`model_governance_scope_policies` constrains eligible models/providers/capabilities. Routing is
+deterministic: explicit preferred models, then configured priority, then stable provider/model IDs.
+
+### MODEL_VERSION_PINNING
+
+A registry row always includes a model version. A scope can additionally pin a model ID + exact
+version. Every route decision persists both model ID and version plus model/policy revisions.
+
+### MODEL_BUDGET_ACCOUNTING
+
+A route first reserves estimated input/output tokens and estimated cost inside `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`.
+Settled usage and outstanding reservations both count against the daily scope budget, preventing two
+concurrent requests from oversubscribing the same budget.
+
+Runtime-reported usage is preferred. When telemetry is absent, the reserved upper bound is charged
+rather than silently under-counting.
+
+OpenClaw's verified result shape is supported directly:
+
+```text
+meta.agentMeta.usage.input
+meta.agentMeta.usage.output
+meta.agentMeta.costUsd
+```
+
+Hermes currently has no structured usage in the verified output, so it uses conservative
+reservation settlement.
+
+### MODEL_FALLBACK_POLICY
+
+Provider failures are durable. Repeated failures open a circuit for the configured cooldown. A
+fallback request excludes the failed provider and increments `fallback_index`; the scope policy
+bounds the number of fallback attempts.
+
+### MODEL_SCOPE_ISOLATION
+
+The signed `agent_runtime` execution envelope now carries authoritative Task scope + trace identity.
+
+The projection layer always overwrites `runtime_input.scope` and `runtime_input.trace_id` from the
+Online Task, even if an execution request attempts to supply different values.
+
+Tenant/project lookup may fall back only to the same tenant's policy. It never falls back to a
+system or legacy policy. `system` and `legacy` require their own explicit policies, avoiding fake
+tenant identities.
+
+### MODEL_CREDENTIAL_BOUNDARY
+
+Model governance stores credential references only. The root-owned external-runtime profile still
+owns the actual provider credential projection. Task payloads cannot select executable, argv,
+environment, provider credential, or credential path.
+
+The external child process remains unable to reach the AIOS control plane.
+
+### MODEL_TRACE_AUDIT
+
+Every route, failure, provider/model/policy update and settlement appends to a SHA-256 hash-chained
+audit table with task ID, trace ID and scope key. `verify_audit_chain()` detects tampering.
+
+### MODEL_EVALUATION_GATE
+
+A model cannot enter the registry unless its state is `APPROVED` and it has a 64-hex evaluation
+evidence digest.
+
+The staging bootstrap uses the already verified Hermes/OpenClaw E2E external-result SHA256 values as
+evaluation evidence, rather than a configuration-file hash.
+
+### MODEL_ROUTING_RESILIENCE
+
+Route request IDs are idempotent and bound to a canonical request hash. Conflicting replay is
+rejected. Provider health, reservations, usage settlement and policy/provider/model updates use
+transaction/CAS semantics.
+
+## Runtime profile contract
+
+A root-owned Hermes/OpenClaw profile may declare:
+
+```json
+{
+  "model_governance": {
+    "required": true,
+    "provider_ids": ["provider-a"],
+    "model_capabilities": ["text"],
+    "max_output_tokens": 512
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When `required=true`:
+
+- `provider_ids` must be non-empty;
+- `max_output_tokens` must be positive;
+- argv/environment must contain at least one governance-controlled marker:
+  `{provider_id}`, `{model_id}`, or `{model_version}`;
+- `AIOS_MODEL_GOVERNANCE_ENABLED` must be enabled;
+- a matching scope policy/model/provider must exist;
+- budget reservation must succeed before the child process is launched.
+
+The task cannot provide these markers or their values.
+
+## SQLite authority
+
+Default database:
+
+```text
+/var/lib/aios-model-governance/state.sqlite3
+```
+
+The executor process already owns the only runtime mutation path. The directory is created by
+tmpfiles and is the only new writable path added to that executor.
+
+No direct Task/Job/Git database writes are introduced.
+
+## Bootstrap/reconciliation
+
+`aios_model_governance_admin.py` applies a root-owned JSON bootstrap idempotently. It compares desired
+state to current rows and uses the current revision as the CAS input only when a change is actually
+required.
+
+The repository staging bootstrap is not a Production policy. It exists only to reproduce and
+govern the already verified non-production Hermes/OpenClaw runtimes.
+
+## Cost caveat
+
+The current verified OneAPI-backed runtime evidence reports zero authoritative provider cost for
+OpenClaw and no structured cost for Hermes. The staging bootstrap therefore does **not** invent
+pricing and sets cost rates/budget to zero/unbounded.
+
+Token budgets remain enforced. Real monetary budget enforcement becomes effective as soon as
+authoritative per-model pricing is entered into the root-owned registry.
+
+## OpenClaw JIT/WASM compatibility
+
+The previous live acceptance proved that OpenClaw Node/WASM requires
+`MemoryDenyWriteExecute=no`. Model Governance must preserve that already-evidenced runtime exception;
+it must not further weaken `NoNewPrivileges`, `ProtectSystem=strict`, `ProtectHome`, loopback deny,
+credential isolation or repository isolation.
+
+## Failure/recovery invariants
+
+- Budget denial occurs before provider execution.
+- Missing scope policy fails closed.
+- Missing/disabled governance fails closed when a profile requires it.
+- Actual usage cannot exceed the reservation.
+- Provider failure releases that reservation into `FAILED` state before fallback.
+- Settlement is idempotent.
+- Route replay is idempotent only for the exact canonical request.
+- Audit corruption is detectable.
+- Online Agent checkpoint/result retry remains unchanged and remains the outer recovery authority.
+
+## Verification
+
+Required unit/integration coverage includes:
+
+- registry/evaluation/CAS;
+- scope isolation and no system→tenant fallback;
+- model/version pinning;
+- atomic budget reservation;
+- settlement/replay;
+- missing telemetry conservative settlement;
+- provider circuit/fallback;
+- trace/audit tamper detection;
+- authoritative scope/trace projection;
+- task runtime-input scope override attack;
+- root-owned provider/model binding;
+- OpenClaw nested usage extraction;
+- real Hermes/OpenClaw staging live tasks with Model Governance evidence.
+
+The governed implementation is not complete without the unified all-modified-files bundle for the
+candidate delta and the cumulative lineage bundle.

+# Owner-Controlled Same-Binding Execution Rebind
+
+## Purpose
+
+`aios_agent_task_execution_rebind.py` closes a projection/plan race without replacing the Task,
+Governed Job, target branch, generation, or idempotency lineage.
+
+The only supported transition is:
+
+```text
+official NEEDS_REWORK
+→ Task QUEUED with no active lease
+→ persisted source_capture envelope
+→ canonical Bridge resolves an already-registered deterministic plan
+→ CAS-bound metadata.execution + execution_projection replacement
+→ audit event
+→ normal worker claim
+```
+
+The service rejects arbitrary metadata patches. It derives the new envelope from canonical Bridge
+`/v2/execution-envelope`, validates every governed binding coordinate against the persisted envelope,
+requires `source_capture → deterministic`, requires exact old/new execution digests supplied by the
+Owner recovery request, and increments the Task revision under `BEGIN IMMEDIATE`.
+
+It records `TASK_EXECUTION_REBIND_AUTHORIZED` and an idempotent `task_execution_rebinds` receipt.
+No Task/Job/branch replacement is created and the worker still performs the real claim/heartbeat,
+WriterLease and governed commit.
+
+The endpoint is loopback-only:
+
+`POST /v1/tasks/{task_id}/execution-rebind`
+
+and requires the existing Owner control credential plus
+`AIOS_AGENT_TASK_EXECUTION_REBIND_AUTHORIZATION_ID`.
+
+Direct/manual Task database edits remain forbidden; the service is the audited mutation boundary.

+# AIOS Worker Availability Runtime
+
+## Priority
+
+This runtime exists to make the already verified Online Agent execution path continuously usable
+without repeated human intervention.
+
+The system already proved that generic, Hermes and OpenClaw workers can claim and complete real
+Online Tasks. The remaining availability defect was operational: evidence-freeze workflows left the
+worker services stopped, while registry `ACTIVE` records remained stale.
+
+The availability contract therefore separates:
+
+```text
+AUTO_CLAIM_MECHANISM=VERIFIED
+CURRENT_WORKER_AVAILABILITY=<fresh runtime state>
+```
+
+A historical successful claim is not current liveness.
+
+## Source of truth for idle liveness
+
+An idle worker may have no Task lease heartbeat. Therefore Task heartbeat alone cannot prove that
+the worker is continuously polling.
+
+`aios_online_agent_worker.py` now writes:
+
+```text
+<AIOS_WORKER_STATE_ROOT>/worker-liveness.json
+```
+
+on:
+
+- process start: `STARTING`;
+- every successful poll: `POLL_OK`;
+- poll failure: `POLL_FAILED`;
+- every successful Task lease heartbeat while executing: `BUSY`.
+
+The file contains:
+
+- agent ID/type/version;
+- process PID;
+- monotonically increasing local sequence;
+- `last_seen_epoch`;
+- poll/heartbeat intervals;
+- current Task/stage while busy.
+
+The liveness file is worker-owned observability state only. It does not write or mutate Task, Job,
+Git, WriterLease or registry databases.
+
+## Self-healing guard
+
+`aios-worker-availability-guard.timer` invokes a root-owned oneshot guard every 30 seconds.
+
+The guard manages:
+
+```text
+aios-online-agent-worker-20260815.service
+aios-hermes-online-agent-worker.service
+aios-openclaw-online-agent-worker.service
+```
+
+and the required external runtime dependency:
+
+```text
+aios-external-agent-executor.service
+```
+
+For each worker:
+
+1. missing systemd unit → fail closed;
+2. disabled → `systemctl enable`;
+3. inactive → `systemctl start`;
+4. active but liveness older than 90 seconds → restart;
+5. repeated stale restart within 60 seconds → do not restart again; report degraded.
+
+Long-running Tasks are safe because the Task lease-heartbeat thread refreshes `BUSY` liveness.
+
+The guard never claims a Task and never touches Task/Job/Git databases.
+
+## Maintenance inhibit
+
+Planned maintenance creates:
+
+```text
+/run/aios-worker-availability/maintenance.lock
+```
+
+While this file exists the guard performs no start/restart actions and reports:
+
+```text
+MAINTENANCE_INHIBITED
+```
+
+Maintenance tooling must remove the file when done. This prevents the self-healer from fighting
+intentional service changes.
+
+## Status
+
+The guard writes:
+
+```text
+/run/aios-worker-availability/status.json
+```
+
+with current worker/dependency states, liveness ages and recovery actions.
+
+A worker is currently available only when:
+
+```text
+systemd load_state=loaded
+systemd active_state=active
+unit enabled/static
+worker-liveness.json present
+last_seen_age <= 90s
+```
+
+Registry `ACTIVE` without fresh poll/busy liveness is not sufficient.
+
+## Boot/restart behavior
+
+The timer is:
+
+```text
+OnBootSec=15s
+OnUnitActiveSec=30s
+Persistent=true
+```
+
+Therefore reboot, manual stop left behind by another workflow, process crash, and hung poll loop are
+all repaired without requiring a human to notice and intervene.
+
+Normal worker units retain their own `Restart=always`; the availability guard handles the cases that
+`Restart=always` cannot, especially a deliberate `systemctl stop` left after an evidence workflow.
+
+## Acceptance
+
+The live acceptance requires all of the following:
+
+```text
+guard timer active/enabled
+external executor active/enabled
+generic worker active/enabled + fresh liveness
+Hermes worker active/enabled + fresh liveness
+OpenClaw worker active/enabled + fresh liveness
+```
+
+Then a new read-only Online Task is projected through canonical Bridge `18892`.
+
+Success requires:
+
+```text
+TASK_CREATED
+→ generic worker auto claim
+→ TASK_HEARTBEAT
+→ RESULT_SUBMITTED
+→ official TASK_VERIFIED(SUCCEEDED)
+```
+
+After the Task, the services must remain active and liveness must continue advancing. The acceptance
+also stops a worker intentionally once and proves the guard starts it again with a new fresh
+liveness sequence.
+
+Only after these gates may current status be upgraded from:
+
+```text
+OVERALL=PARTIAL
+```
+
+to:
+
+```text
+PERSISTENT_WORKER_LIVENESS=VERIFIED
+NEW_TASK_AUTO_CONSUMPTION=VERIFIED
+WORKER_AVAILABILITY_RUNTIME=VERIFIED_CANDIDATE
+```
+
+Protected main and Production remain out of scope.
+
+
+## Forced source-capture projection compatibility
+
+The deployed canonical Bridge currently projects a default `source_capture` envelope even when a
+governed binding request asks for binding-only behavior. This must not be allowed to make always-on
+workers consume engineering Tasks before their deterministic plan is registered.
+
+The worker therefore distinguishes a real read-only source capture from an engineering placeholder:
+
+```text
+source_capture
++ capability_scope contains governed.write.branch or governed.write.file
+= PENDING_DETERMINISTIC_PLAN
+```
+
+For such a placeholder the worker:
+
+1. re-resolves through the canonical plan registry **without replaying the stale source-capture
+   envelope**;
+2. if no deterministic plan exists, emits `TASK_SKIPPED_PENDING_DETERMINISTIC_PLAN` and does not
+   claim;
+3. if the registered canonical envelope is deterministic and the governed binding still matches,
+   uses that deterministic envelope and claims normally.
+
+A real read-only source-capture Task with only `git.read`/`git.test` still replays its exact persisted
+payload and remains claimable.
+
+This makes persistent workers safe with the currently deployed Bridge while preserving the same
+Task/Job binding. No Task DB rewrite, cancellation, replacement Task, fake NEEDS_REWORK, or
+pre-claim metadata mutation is required.
+
+A later Bridge cleanup may implement true binding-only projection, but Worker Availability does not
+depend on that cleanup.
