What Problem This Solves

Use released CPython 3.12.16 in the existing security workers, prevent uv from selecting another installed interpreter, and consume the merged ClawScan #94 source with its frozen SkillSpector certifi 2026.10.23 fix.

User Impact

Existing worker entry points retain their scanner/model policy and fail-closed checks. Legitimate private-CA HTTPS remains usable; historical explicit roots cannot restore the incident keys under the qualified patched runtime. This PR establishes source/installation readiness, not deployed-worker delivery.

Why This Change Was Made

The immutable source pin is now merged ClawScan revision 022143b39b3285d1ac24cce7fbb61c36f5207935. The prior provisional pin f35fb2679e1362ba99fa2768176513c7bd696ab6 already contained the identical certificate-lock repair; an exact endpoint diff shows only the producer changelog changed during landing. The spec now accurately describes ClawScan's frozen lock ownership. No second adapter implementation, runtime-support widening, workflow trigger or deployment permission changes.

The existing interpreter repair binds uv sync --locked --no-dev --python <sys.executable> to setup-python's selected patched runtime. Its native macOS failure-before/pass-after and both-scanner-order regression proof remain applicable.

Evidence

Final candidate: b71ec9fddac3d73d2d5e9b170d07ed22a76ef97f.

• Fresh actual baseline and candidate shell installers fetched their exact producer commits and built ClawScan with Go 1.27.3. The candidate binary reports vcs.revision=022143b39b3285d1ac24cce7fbb61c36f5207935, vcs.modified=false; CLI help/static scan pass.
• Both actual frozen SkillSpector installs selected CPython 3.12.16 and certifi 2026.10.23; 24 real adapter tests, dependency checks and CLI help pass. The final upstream-owned lock and installed certificate bundle identities are recorded in the linked validation comment.
• Rebuilt installed SkillSpector's actual configured Responses provider: 33 TLS cases pass. All 14 live incident controls first verify the chain, hostname and a known incident SPKI. All 14 historical-explicit-root product requests then fail with certificate rejected. Default-root failures are recorded separately and are not counted as key-rejection proof. Legitimate private-CA Responses succeeds before and after those failures, including a bundle containing historical roots.
• Required bun run ci:static and all 8 focused installer/workflow tests pass with Bun 1.4.4. Independent P0–P3 review of this adoption is scoped-clean.
• Prior real-model benign/malicious scanner/judge wiring and native macOS AIG installation (259 owning adapter tests) are reused: producer runtime source, both patches, scanner pins, installer and AIG lock are byte-identical. The fresh extra Linux ARM64 AIG attempt fails closed on an unlisted platform wheel hash on both base and candidate; this is outside the configured AMD64 CI target and the lock's admitted macOS acceptance target. No hash relaxation is proposed.
• Historical broad local unit proof had one inherited intermittent Convex artwork failure, reproduced on base and candidate at the same assertion; it is not relabeled green. Final-head hosted checks are the authoritative current CI results.

ClawScan #94 is merged; the producer-first blocker is closed. Current-head @openclaw/openclaw-secops approval remains required by repository governance. ClawSweeper re-review is requested after this body and the detailed proof are current. Check the actual subsequent review and final-head checks before landing. No merge/auto-merge, production publication or manual deployment was performed.

Closeout, 2026-10-26: ClawSweeper's actual subsequent review covers exact head b71ec9fddac3d73d2d5e9b170d07ed22a76ef97f, reports zero findings, and resolves the producer-first blocker. All 37 reported final-head checks settled (31 successful, 6 skipped); GitHub reports MERGEABLE/CLEAN. The only remaining merge blocker is current-head openclaw/openclaw-secops approval. Its request remains outstanding; no approval gate was waived.

An additional actual-provider default-store HTTPS control reached https://api.openai.com/v1 and returned the expected HTTP401 for an inert synthetic credential, with no certificate failure. This establishes legitimate public TLS admission, not a successful authenticated model call. Task-owned fixture listeners are stopped; the UTM guest is gracefully powered off with evidence/installations retained. No merge or auto-merge.

What this changes

This PR pins Python 3.12.16, binds SkillSpector installation to the selected interpreter, and adopts ClawScan’s merged frozen certificate-bundle repair.

Example: SkillSpector installs on a runner with multiple Python interpreters.

• Before: uv can select an interpreter other than setup-python’s selection, while the frozen lock retains certifi 2026.6.17.
• After: uv receives the selected Python executable explicitly and installs certifi 2026.10.23 from the producer-owned lock.

Review scores

Measure	Result	What it means
Overall readiness	🦞 diamond lobster (5/6)	Focused repair with actual installation and provider-transport proof, successful final-head checks, and no actionable findings; required security approval remains independent.
Proof confidence	🦞 diamond lobster (5/6)	Sufficient (terminal): Final-head evidence exercises the actual shell installers on native Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64 and the installed SkillSpector Responses provider through real TLS: incident certificates reject with historical explicit roots, while legitimate private-CA calls succeed before and after rejection; unchanged AIG inputs retain the recorded native macOS qualification, and Linux ARM64 AIG remains explicitly unsupported.
Patch quality	🦞 diamond lobster (5/6)	No actionable review findings were identified.

Product

Kind: Bug fix · Worth it: Yes · Fix scope: Complete
User problem: Security scanners can retain obsolete certificate trust or run under an interpreter other than the patched runtime selected by the workflow.
Reason: The maintainer-requested direction repairs the existing installation boundary without adding configuration or changing scanner/model policy; deployed-fleet delivery is explicitly outside this PR’s claim.

Technical review

Best possible solution:

Land the focused consumer repair after current-head SecOps approval, keeping scanner adapters and certificate-lock ownership in ClawScan.

Do we have a high-confidence way to reproduce the issue?

Current main leaves uv free to choose a different installed interpreter and consumes the older frozen certificate lock; contributor evidence additionally records native interpreter-selection and installed-provider TLS behavior.

Is this the best way to solve the issue?

Best-fix verdict: best within the stated installation scope; updating certifi alone cannot reject explicitly trusted incident keys, and a second ClawHub adapter would duplicate the existing producer owner.

AGENTS.md: found and applied where relevant.

Codex review notes: model internal, reasoning medium; reviewed against e726f3c5fe4d.

Provenance checked

• Shared SkillSpector installation keeps the original intent (21841f0: Adopt matching source-pinned Responses adapters and frozen dependencies under the approved security consumer policy.)
• Worker toolchain and certificate inputs keeps the original intent (5235885: Select reviewed worker toolchains and refresh available trust inputs while retaining existing guards and ownership.)
• ClawScan source pin keeps the original intent (96d1fb9: Adopt reviewed scanner recovery fixes through an immutable merged producer revision.)

Evidence

What I checked:

• Reviewed introduction: The pinned introduced diff contains 25 additions and 16 deletions across 11 files; no actionable defect was found. (b71ec9fddac3)
• Current main still needs the repair: Fetched main retains the previous producer pin, floating Python 3.12 selector, and SkillSpector sync without an explicit interpreter. (scripts/security/install-clawscan-scanners.sh:39, e726f3c5fe4d)
• Producer merge and dependency boundary: fix: refresh frozen SkillSpector certificate roots clawscan#94 is merged at the exact pinned revision. ClawHub executes this producer’s CLI and applies its scanner patches, so its source contract and AGENTS.md apply. (docker/clawscan-runtime/patches/skillspector-responses.patch, 022143b39b32)
• Prior runtime qualification remains applicable: The provisional and merged producer revisions have identical cmd, internal, and docker/clawscan-runtime tree identities, independently supporting reuse of the earlier runtime evidence. (docker/clawscan-runtime, 022143b39b32)
• Installed-provider TLS evidence: fix: use patched Python and frozen scanner certificate trust #4061 (comment) records final-head native installation output and 33 actual-provider TLS scenarios, including incident-chain controls, explicit historical-root rejection, and successful legitimate private-CA requests. (scripts/security/install-clawscan-scanners.sh:40, b71ec9fddac3)
• Final-head validation: Live final-head check results include successful static, unit, types-build, packages, HTTP end-to-end, and browser gates; no failing or running check remained in the inspected response. (b71ec9fddac3)

Merged-producer qualification for final head b71ec9fddac3d73d2d5e9b170d07ed22a76ef97f:

The PR now selects ClawScan #94's merged revision 022143b39b3285d1ac24cce7fbb61c36f5207935. Important attribution correction: exact endpoint comparison with provisional f35fb2679e1362ba99fa2768176513c7bd696ab6 changes only CHANGELOG.md. Both endpoints already contain the same frozen certifi fix. A three-dot comparison through their common ancestor is not the endpoint delta.

Actual installed SkillSpector provider TLS proof used a synthetic credential and a task-owned HTTPS model fixture, without mocking HTTP transport or verification. The configured model exercised /v1/responses. All 33 scenarios passed their acceptance assertions:

• Private CA absent: rejects; matching private CA supplied: successful model result; trusted hostname-mismatch control: rejects.
• 14 live incident endpoints: OpenSSL chain+hostname controls succeeded and the served chains matched verified incident SPKIs (DV/OV/EV G3B/G3C, AAA cross-sign and no-CT variants).
• All 14 product calls with historical explicit roots fail with SSLCertVerificationError: ... certificate rejected. Matching successful controls prevent treating endpoint outage, unknown issuer or hostname mismatch as revocation proof.
• All 14 default-root requests also reject. These are bundle-trust results, separately recorded from explicit-key rejection.
• A subsequent legitimate private-CA model request succeeds; a legitimate request with private and historical roots combined also succeeds. No trust bypass or policy reset.
• Parsed certifi bundle contains zero occurrences of the verified incident SPKIs.

The extra AIG Linux ARM64 installation attempt fails closed on pydantic-core's unlisted ARM64 wheel hash, identically on old and new heads. Configured workflows target AMD64; the lock also deliberately admits macOS ARM64 acceptance wheels. Existing native macOS AIG installation/259 adapter tests and actual real-model wiring proof remain applicable because all relevant code, patches, lock and pins are identical. No new ARM64-Linux AIG support or fresh AMD64 native qualification is claimed.

Native proof directories and raw logs/hashes are retained in the campaign follow-up clawhub-4061-merged-producer-20261026T184915Z; the consolidated report records failed attempts and reuse rationale. No host trust or production Docker/service state was used.

Producer merge is complete. Secops approval remains outstanding. Final-head CI and the subsequent ClawSweeper review must be assessed separately; this comment does not claim an approval or deployed-fleet delivery.

Closeout, 2026-10-26: ClawSweeper's actual subsequent review covers exact head b71ec9fddac3d73d2d5e9b170d07ed22a76ef97f, reports zero findings, and resolves the producer-first blocker.
