v0.0.45

NemoClaw v0.0.45 improves onboarding recovery, local inference behavior, channel cleanup, sandbox sharing diagnostics, and uninstall cleanup:

  • nemoclaw onboard handles GPU setup failures more directly. It can replace a stale CPU-only gateway when doing so is safe, skips GPU advice when you explicitly pass --no-gpu, points working-driver hosts toward NVIDIA Container Toolkit setup, and enforces the 63-character sandbox name limit before names reach OpenShell.
  • Preflight checks catch more host setup issues before the sandbox build starts. Container DNS probing uses a fresh .invalid lookup so cached DNS answers do not hide blocked resolver egress, and restrictive checkout file modes no longer make model-specific setup manifests unreadable inside the image.
  • Local inference setup is more predictable. Managed vLLM accepts NEMOCLAW_VLLM_MODEL for supported registry slugs and checks Hugging Face tokens before pulling gated models. Ollama-backed sandboxes now enable streamed usage accounting so OpenClaw token counters update after each turn.
  • Messaging channel removal is a clean inverse of channel add. nemoclaw <name> channels remove <channel> detaches live bridge providers before deleting them and un-applies the matching built-in network policy preset when it was active.
  • nemoclaw <name> share mount fails earlier with clearer guidance when the sandbox path cannot be verified or the host mount target is on a read-only filesystem.
  • nemoclaw uninstall stops host openshell-gateway processes, and subprocesses add IPv6 loopback plus wildcard local bind addresses to NO_PROXY so local traffic stays off forwarded proxies.
  • Diagnostics and internal command output redact more credential-shaped values and use private temporary directories for generated SSH and config files.
