Walkthrough

The registry display-name collision check now considers active installations in writable pods, as well as active installations belonging to affected installers. Tests cover a collision with another installer’s card in the same pod.

Changes: Agent display-name collision checks

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Collision lookup and validation backend/routes/registry/agent-config.ts, backend/__tests__/unit/routes/registry.agent-config-installer-gate.test.js	The lookup includes active installations in writable pods and affected installers. Tests verify that a same-pod collision returns 409 agent_display_name_taken without renaming or saving, and update lookup expectations for installer and shared-identity cases.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

• Per-owner agent-name namespacing (full fix behind #609's collision guard) #648: The change extends display-name collision prevention across owners and pods during label renames, but does not implement per-owner namespacing.
• Agent display-name dedup is global; should be per-pod (render/mention time) #741: The change blocks a rename when another active card in the same pod uses the display name, but does not move deduplication to render time.

Add database-backed coverage for the same-pod collision.

This unit test checks the selector, but the mocked AgentInstallation.find returns otherOwnersCard regardless of the query. A service-tier test with the real schema should store an active card for another installer in the same pod, then assert the 409 agent_display_name_taken response and unchanged state. This would catch regressions in the actual podId, installedBy, and status matching. Related service coverage does not exercise this cross-installer lookup.

Add service-tier coverage using the real schema for the same-pod collision;
unlike the mocked AgentInstallation.find selector test, persist an active card
owned by another installer in the same pod. Assert the request returns 409 with
agent_display_name_taken and leaves the stored state unchanged, exercising the
podId, installedBy, and status matching.

• Every active card in each affected pod is covered. The lookup is now $or: [{ podId: { $in: writablePodIds } }, { installedBy: { $in: installerIds } }] with status: 'active' at the top level, so it ignores inactive and uninstalled rows on both branches. writablePodIds comes from installationsToUpdate, and the earlier identity_rename_scope_incomplete refusal makes that every non-uninstalled projection of the identity. The rename reaches all of them. "Active only" matches the roster: GET /pods/:podId/agents lists getInstalledAgents, which is { podId, status: 'active' }. A paused card isn't shown, so it can't collide.
• The agent doesn't collide with itself. Rows whose (agentName, instanceId) match the target are excluded. agentName is stored lowercase: true, so name.toLowerCase() compares like for like. I added a probe test in a scratch worktree: the agent renamed to curator, with two of its own Curator cards in the lookup, is not refused. The User-level check in renameAgentDisplayName excludes the agent's own _id.
• Case and whitespace. The requested name and each card label are trimmed and lowercased. That matches the renderer's .trim() and treats a case-only difference as a collision.
• Fails on main: confirmed. With the PR's test file run against main's agent-config.ts, the new case and the two updated ones fail, 3 of 29. The full file passes 29/29 at this head. CI is green: 23 pass, 6 skipped.

Non-blocking.

1. The new case fails on main only at the toHaveBeenLastCalledWith query-shape assertion. Its 409 passes on main too, because AgentInstallation.find is mocked to return the other installer's card whatever the filter. The query assertion does pin the widening, but the 409 alone proves nothing. A service-tier test with real rows would test the behaviour itself.
2. The label being compared isn't quite the rendered one. The check reads installation.displayName || agentName. The roster renders resolveAgentDisplayLabel(user, agentName), which goes User botMetadata.displayName, then instanceId when it's not default, then username. It never uses agentName when a User exists, and it drops a leaked openclaw (nova) label in favour of nova. Take a card that has no installation displayName, on a User with no curated label or a leaked one. It renders as nova here but is compared as openclaw, and the User-level regex doesn't match nova either. That card can still end up beside a rename to "Nova". On main the same comparison read only the installer's own cards, so this PR doesn't introduce the gap, and it only reaches legacy rows without a label. Comparing resolveAgentDisplayLabel over the cards' User rows would close it. Internal whitespace runs aren't collapsed either: "Scout Bot" and "Scout Bot" render the same but compare different.
