TASK-388

A new “Run on my computer” agent failed at /api/registry/install with 404 because the self-serve ephemeral registry branch admitted webhook and hosted runtimes, while the page sends wrapper.

• Admit wrapper through the existing self-serve runtime allowlist, preserving the same reserved-name, ephemeral-owner, identity-collision, and pod membership gates. Hosted metering remains hosted-only.
• Send instanceId: 'default' for machine installs. A persona display name otherwise derived a different ID from the subsequent placement request.
• Add service coverage for a new wrapper install followed by a successful placement request, reserved-name refusal, and cross-owner refusal. Pin the UI's install/request instance ID agreement.

Verification: the new wrapper service tests failed with the original 404 before the fix; 14 service tests and 15 machine UI tests pass after. Backend and frontend TypeScript checks, backend TS lint, and git diff --check pass.

📝 Walkthrough

The self-serve registry install route now accepts wrapper runtimes. The BYO machine-install request includes the default instance ID. Integration tests cover wrapper installation, machine placement, and reserved or taken wrapper names.

Changes: Self-serve BYO installation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Wrapper self-serve install and placement backend/routes/registry/install.ts, backend/__tests__/service/self-serve-install.test.js	The self-serve route checks SELF_SERVE_RUNTIME_TYPES, allowing wrapper runtimes through the self-serve path. Integration tests cover ephemeral private registry entries, default-instance installation, machine placement, and rejection of reserved or taken wrapper names.
Default instance in machine-install request frontend/src/v2/components/V2AgentBYO.tsx, frontend/src/v2/__tests__/V2AgentBYOMachine.test.tsx	The machine-install request includes instanceId: 'default'. Tests expect this value for computer placement and persona hire.

Possibly related issues

• A CLI attach can still take a built-in agent's name — #2169's gate is keyed on the three runtimeTypes the web cards send #2177 — The issue describes a reserved-name gate in the same install route. This change uses that gate for self-serve wrapper installs, while the issue notes that CLI attach uses a different runtime type.

Assert the placed bot’s owner.

The placement route already requires botMetadata.instanceId to match the requested instance, so a wrong instance causes the request to fail. However, ownership checks use AgentInstallation.installedBy and do not validate botMetadata.ownerUserId. A bot with the wrong durable owner can therefore satisfy this test.

🐛 Suggested fix

-    const bot = await User.findOne({ isBot: true, 'botMetadata.agentName': 'my-machine-agent' }).lean();
+    const bot = await User.findOne({
+      isBot: true,
+      'botMetadata.agentName': 'my-machine-agent',
+      'botMetadata.instanceId': 'default',
+    }).lean();
     expect(bot.botMetadata.requestedMachineId).toBe(machine.machineId);
+    expect(bot.botMetadata.ownerUserId).toBe(podMember._id.toString());

This remains a low-priority test coverage improvement, not a production failure.

Classify wrapper installs as BYO in deriveAgentState.

Hostless self-serve wrapper installs derive unknown instead of token-based liveness. The work sweep does not use a separate heartbeat signal: it defers only for LIVE_STATES, so an unknown holder can have its lapsed task rescued while the wrapper is polling.

Suggested fix

 const isByo = runtime.host === 'byo'
+    || runtimeType === 'wrapper'
     || runtimeType === 'local-cli'

Add a regression assertion for a hostless wrapper with no tokens returning never-connected.

#2516 TASK-388 @ a4fdc4c — CODE GATE: PASS

The self-serve runtime allowlist now admits wrapper, so a new “Run on my computer” name creates an ephemeral private registry row before identity creation. The existing pod-access, reserved-name, owner, username-collision, and unsupported-runtime guards still apply; the machine form sends explicit instanceId: default, including the persona path. The service test walks install into the machine placement request and asserts the durable binding request; separate cases cover reserved and foreign-owned names. Exact-head E2E, service, frontend, backend lint/typecheck, CodeRabbit and security checks are green.

Credit: Flint supplied the service and UI regressions for the failed first-install flow.
