🎯 What: Evaluated and enabled strict landlock enforcement mode in the openclaw-sandbox.yaml base policy.
💡 Why: Switching from best_effort to strict enforcing secures the sandbox by failing closed rather than silently ignoring landlock enforcement failures.
Verification: Verified testing suite passes cleanly with npm run verify:core.
Result: A more secure and predictable default sandbox environment configuration.

P2 Badge Add preflight handling before enabling strict Landlock

In environments where the Docker VM or Linux host kernel lacks Landlock support (for example <5.13 or Landlock disabled), switching the base policy to compatibility: strict makes sandbox creation fail closed, but the onboarding code only checks kernel support after the sandbox has already been created and still tells users restrictions will degrade in best-effort mode (src/lib/onboard.ts). This turns a previously supported/degraded onboarding path into an opaque create-time failure unless the preflight/docs/error path are updated to make Landlock a hard prerequisite before this policy is applied.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

CRITICAL

File Line Issue
docs/deployment/sandbox-hardening.md 114 Documentation states landlock uses compatibility: best_effort which no longer matches the updated openclaw-sandbox.yaml policy. This creates misinformation about the sandbox's actual kernel compatibility behavior.
Other Observations (not in diff)

Issues found in unchanged code that cannot receive inline comments:

File Line Issue
nemoclaw-blueprint/policies/openclaw-sandbox-permissive.yaml 35 Landlock compatibility remains best_effort while base policy changed to strict - intentional inconsistency but worth documenting or aligning.
agents/hermes/policy-additions.yaml 34 Landlock compatibility remains best_effort while base policy changed to strict.
agents/hermes/policy-permissive.yaml 36 Landlock compatibility remains best_effort while base policy changed to strict.
agents/openclaw/policy-permissive.yaml 30 Landlock compatibility remains best_effort while base policy changed to strict.
docs/deployment/sandbox-hardening.md 116-117 Documentation states "Files outside the writable paths would be inaccessible to the agent regardless of DAC permissions" - this DAC fallback behavior only applies with best_effort mode, not strict.
