## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Claude Code setup-token login for sandbox agents.
**Why this adapter is useful**
Sandbox agents need a supported way to sign in without host credentials.
An authorized owner completes the browser step and receives the token
one time.
**How the agent is invoked**
When a sandbox provider binds the injectable transport, the server
starts `claude setup-token` through a sandbox pseudo-terminal, sends the
browser code to the matched prompt, and returns the token through the
guarded session route. The default build does not bind the transport. In
that state the start route fails closed with a fixed no-secret `503`. It
does not start a process and it does not hold a sandbox lease.
**Additional context**
The transport is injectable, so each sandbox provider binds its own
pseudo-terminal. This pull request adds the Daytona transport but does
not bind it in the production server. A production wiring needs a lease
manager, a live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its
own security review. The route keeps secrets out of logs, activity
details, errors, telemetry, and non-owner responses.
## What Changed
- Add strict parsers for the setup-token URL, the prompt, and the
success token.
- Add a login runner that drives the `claude setup-token` command
through a pseudo-terminal.
- Add the Daytona pseudo-terminal transport and the sandbox plugin
wiring.
- Add a company-scoped, owner-bound login session service with rate
limits, a reaper, cleanup, and one-time token delivery.
- Add the guarded session routes at
`/agents/:id/setup-token-login-sessions/*` behind an injectable
transport. The routes become the live login path only when a provider
binds the transport.
- Keep the start route fail-closed in the default build. It returns a
fixed no-secret `503` and it does not bind `setupTokenLogin`.
- Keep the existing host route `POST /agents/:id/claude-login` in place.
This pull request does not replace it.
- Keep confidential responses behind a fail-closed TLS transport guard
with `Cache-Control: no-store`, and extend redaction for the new fields.
- Export the parser and the runner from the Claude local server entry,
and document the new session routes in the OpenAPI spec.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run setup-token-route
setup-token-session`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- Confirm that the pull request checks pass on GitHub.
## Risks
- Low user-facing risk on merge. The default build does not bind the
transport, so the production start route stays fail-closed with a `503`.
The merge does not change the production login behavior.
- When a provider later binds the transport, the flow starts a live
sandbox process and holds a short-lived in-memory secret. Cleanup must
stop the child before it releases the sandbox lease.
- The transport guard fails closed when the deployment does not provide
a trusted TLS path. A wrong proxy allowlist can block a valid request.
- The production wiring is out of scope. It needs a lease manager, a
live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its own
security review before the server binds `setupTokenLogin`.
## Model Used
Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8 assisted the implementation. It used extended
reasoning, code execution, repository tool use, and a 200,000-token
context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers (Daytona, Kubernetes) sync run results back to the
host with a sandbox-authored tarball
> - Before extraction, a confinement check parses the host `tar -tvf`
listing and fails closed on unparseable lines
> - The parser only understands the GNU tar listing dialect; macOS ships
bsdtar, whose ls-style listing never matches
> - Every sandbox syncOut on a macOS host therefore aborts with
"refusing tarball with an unparseable entry listing", and the run fails
at copy-back
> - This pull request teaches the parser both dialects while keeping the
fail-closed and traversal guarantees
> - The benefit is that Daytona and Kubernetes sandbox runs work on
macOS hosts, with no behavior change on Linux
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Bug description:
**What happened?**
On a macOS host, every Daytona sandbox run fails at syncOut. The adapter
reports: `Daytona syncOut refusing tarball with an unparseable entry
listing: -rw-r--r-- 0 daytona daytona 7560 Aug 11 21:43 AGENTS.md`. The
Kubernetes provider has the same parser and fails the same way.
**Expected behavior**
The confinement check accepts a well-formed listing from the host tar,
whichever dialect the host tar emits. It still rejects members that
escape the extraction directory, and it still fails closed on lines it
cannot parse.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Paperclip on macOS (system tar is bsdtar).
2. Configure an agent with the Daytona sandbox provider.
3. Trigger any run that syncs files back from the sandbox.
4. The run fails at syncOut with the unparseable-entry-listing error,
because bsdtar prints `<perms> <links> <user> <group> <size> <Mon> <day>
<time|year> <name>` while the parser expects the GNU `<perms>
<owner>/<group> <size> <date> <time> <name>` shape.
**Operating system**
macOS (bsdtar 3.5.3). Linux hosts with GNU tar are unaffected.
## What Changed
- Extracted the listing-line parse in both providers' `file-sync.ts`
into an exported `parseTarVerboseListingLine` that accepts the
GNU/busybox dialect and the bsdtar (libarchive) dialect.
- The GNU shape now requires the slash-joined `<owner>/<group>` field.
This keeps the two shapes mutually exclusive. Without it, a bsdtar line
with numeric uid/gid satisfies the loose GNU pattern shifted by one
field, which would hide a leading `../` from the traversal check.
- Unparseable lines still fail closed. This includes device-node
entries, whose size column is `major,minor` in both dialects.
- Made the path-traversal fixture in the Daytona suite portable: GNU
spells member renaming `--transform`, bsdtar spells it `-s`.
- Added a Daytona test that refuses a sandbox-authored tarball carrying
a symlink whose target escapes the extraction dir.
- Added parser unit tests for both dialects (file, dir, symlink,
hardlink, numeric owner, year-form dates, fail-closed lines) to both
providers' suites.
## Verification
- `pnpm test` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`: 136/136
pass on a macOS host. On unpatched `master` the round-trip test fails
there with the unparseable-entry-listing error.
- `pnpm test` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes`: the
new parser tests pass; no new failures against the `master` baseline on
the same host.
- `pnpm typecheck` passes in both packages.
- CI runs the same suites on Linux/GNU tar and proves the GNU path is
unchanged.
## Risks
- Low risk. The GNU pattern is one token stricter (`<owner>/<group>`
must contain `/`). GNU and busybox tar always print the slash-joined
owner field, so accepted GNU listings are unchanged.
- The bsdtar branch only widens acceptance on hosts that were failing
100% of syncOuts before, so no working deployment changes behavior.
- The check still fails closed on anything neither pattern matches.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app that manages AI agents for work
> - Sandbox providers let agents run in remote and isolated environments
> - Daytona session commands need a path that sends agent output to the
host without host polling
> - Host polling adds delay and repeats provider output work
> - This pull request adds typed execute.log notifications and a log
sink for incremental output
> - This pull request adds an optional ACP session stream with
final-result replay protection
> - The benefit is lower output delay while the default flags keep
current behavior unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change spans the plugin SDK, Daytona provider,
adapter utilities, and server execution services.
**Problem or motivation**
The Daytona ACP bridge polls a host output file while an agent command
runs. This adds delay and can repeat work. The host also needs a safe
route for provider output chunks.
**Proposed solution**
Add a typed `execute.log` notification with host-issued invocation
correlation. Add an ordered log sink to the environment execute path.
Add an optional ACP session-log path that parses newline-delimited JSON
frames and removes the host output poll for that path.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the output-file poll as the only path. This keeps the current
behavior but does not provide timely output. The new path stays behind
flags, so the existing path remains the default fallback.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the shipped Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone in
`ROADMAP.md`, including Daytona support.
## What Changed
- Add the typed `execute.log` worker-to-host notification and
company-scoped host route.
- Add ordered `stdout` and `stderr` chunk delivery before the final
execute result.
- Add the Daytona session log sink and the optional ACP streamed session
path.
- Add monotonic frame handling so live and final output reach the host
once.
- Keep `useLogStream` and `streamAgentSessionOutput` off by default.
- Add unit and integration coverage for the notification, execution
target, runtime, and Daytona paths.
## Verification
- Run adapter-utils tests: 445 tests pass locally.
- Run server environment tests: 73 tests pass locally.
- Run Daytona plugin tests: 131 tests pass locally.
- Run TypeScript checks for shared, adapter-utils, and server.
- Review the pull request checks after GitHub completes them.
- All required GitHub checks pass on the current head.
## Risks
The new paths change output delivery only when a feature flag enables
them. The final execute result remains available for parsing and
fallback. The main risk is a provider stream or frame-order error; the
final-result parser limits that risk.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The runtime did not
supply a context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox provider plugins let agents run commands in remote
environments.
> - The Daytona provider polls the exit code while it waits for command
logs.
> - Polling delays log delivery and does not support long-lived streamed
commands.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10941
**Subsystem affected**
packages/plugins — sandbox provider plugins.
**Problem or motivation**
The Daytona provider polls the command exit code every 50 milliseconds
while it waits for logs. This delays output and does not support a
long-lived streamed command.
**Proposed solution**
Add the `useLogStream` provider option. Stream stdout and stderr from
the Daytona callback log form, read the exit code after the stream ends,
retry the read with bounded backoff, and fall back to the existing poll
path after a disconnect.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep polling for all commands. This keeps the current behavior but does
not provide timely logs or a path for long-lived commands.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the roadmap item for cloud and sandbox agents, including
Daytona.
## What Changed
- Add the opt-in `useLogStream` option with a default of `false`.
- Stream stdout and stderr from the Daytona callback log form.
- Drop replayed log prefixes by delivered byte offset after reconnect.
- Retry once after disconnect, then use the existing poll path.
- Read the exit code once after a successful stream and retry when the
code is not ready.
- Add tests for ordered output, exit-code reads, disconnect fallback,
and reconnect replay handling.
## Verification
- Run `node_modules/.bin/vitest run --config
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/vitest.config.ts
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the full Daytona plugin test project passes with 127
tests.
- Confirm that the changed files type-check against Daytona SDK 0.203.0
types.
- Review the PR against parent PR #10941 before it reaches `master`.
## Risks
- The stream path changes behavior only when `useLogStream` is `true`.
- A stream failure can add one reconnect attempt before the existing
poll fallback.
- The stream path has no command deadline because it supports long-lived
commands.
- No endpoint, stored data, telemetry shape, authentication rule, or
result shape changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip uses adapter and sandbox code to start agents and run
sandbox work
> - The current sandbox spans use mixed names and do not group related
run-time work
> - Mixed names make traces harder to read and compare across providers
> - This pull request renames provider spans, adds run-time wrapper
spans, and keeps the host allowlist closed
> - The benefit is clearer traces with the same sandbox behavior and
trust boundary
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves OpenTelemetry span names and grouping for sandbox startup,
execution, callback relay, and agent session work.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): adapter utilities, sandbox
providers, shared telemetry documentation, and server instrumentation.
**Current behavior**
Sandbox provider spans use mixed names. Related run-time operations
expose inner `sandbox.exec` spans without a named wrapper span. The host
mapper uses a closed allowlist for provider span names.
**Proposed behavior**
Use descriptive provider-scoped span names. Add wrapper spans for agent
session input, agent session output polling, and callback relay. Keep
the host mapper allowlist closed and map unknown names to `other`.
**Reason and benefit**
Clear names make traces easier to read and reduce ambiguity during
sandbox operation analysis. Wrapper spans show the full operation while
preserving the inner execution spans.
**Breaking changes**
None. This change updates telemetry span names and grouping only. It
does not change sandbox behavior, endpoint behavior, or the host trust
boundary.
**Additional context**
Related prior work:
[#10758](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10758).
## What Changed
- Rename Daytona provider sync and session spans with descriptive
provider-scoped names.
- Add three run-time wrapper spans for agent session input, output
polling, and callback relay.
- Add a shared span runner that preserves no-op behavior without a real
tracer.
- Keep the host mapper allowlist closed and map unknown names to
`other`.
- Update telemetry documentation and span-name tests.
## Verification
- Focused adapter-utils span tests pass for startup timing, callback
relay, and sandbox execution.
- Focused Daytona plugin span tests pass for renamed leaf spans and
session open or close spans.
- Focused server tests pass for host mapping and instrumentation.
- The stacked diff contains one commit on top of
`feat/daytona-persistent-session-model`.
## Risks
- Span names change for existing telemetry consumers.
- The wrapper spans add trace structure but do not change sandbox
execution.
- The host mapper keeps the existing closed allowlist and `other`
bucket.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies
> - One core subsystem runs agent work inside sandboxes
> - The Daytona provider uses that path to run user commands
> - The current one-shot model does not keep a shell alive across
commands
> - This pull request adds an opt-in persistent session model for
Daytona
> - The benefit is faster command dispatch with the same sandbox
boundaries
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Subsystem affected
Cross-cutting. This change touches `packages/adapters`, provider tests,
span names, and sandbox command behavior.
### Problem or motivation
The Daytona provider needs a persistent shell for repeated command
dispatch.
The old advisory wrapper path does not reach that goal.
It also adds cost and removes the session speed gain.
### Proposed solution
Add a `useSessions` driver flag.
Keep it off by default.
Open one Daytona session per lease when the flag is on.
Send each user command into that session.
Read stdout and stderr from the session logs endpoint.
Run each command in a subshell so `exit` does not stop the shell.
Remove the advisory `bwrap` wrapper path and its lease metadata.
Add session setup and teardown spans.
Keep a hard delete on teardown.
### Alternatives considered
Keep the advisory `bwrap` wrapper.
That path does not give a real persistent session.
It also keeps extra command overhead.
Keep a one-shot fallback for user commands.
That would weaken the session model and hide a missing session case.
### Roadmap alignment
This work fits the `Cloud / Sandbox agents` milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.
It also supports the control plane goal of safe remote sandbox
execution.
### Additional context
The handoff verification reported `tsc --noEmit` clean and 119 Daytona
unit tests passing.
The handoff also reported a clean host span allowlist test and five
expected commits on the branch.
The security review gate remains required before merge.
## What Changed
- Added an opt-in persistent session model for the Daytona sandbox
provider.
- Routed user commands through `executeSessionCommand` when sessions are
enabled.
- Removed the advisory `bwrap` command wrapper path and the lease
metadata it used.
- Added session lifecycle spans and span allowlist coverage.
- Documented the leak bound in `DIRECTORY-CONSTRAINT-FINDINGS.md`.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` clean for the Daytona plugin, per handoff verification.
- Daytona unit suite passes, with 119 tests, per handoff verification.
- Host span allowlist test passes, per handoff verification.
## Risks
- Persistent sessions can leak if teardown fails.
- Session logs must keep stdout and stderr separate.
- The flag stays off by default to limit rollout risk.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, Codex, tool use enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs execute inside sandbox environments. Sandbox provider
plugins (Daytona, Modal, exe.dev, and others) declare a JSON-Schema
`configSchema`. The Environment configuration form renders from that
schema.
> - The sizing and image fields open empty. Users must guess working
values. The Modal form cannot submit at all until the user types an app
name and an image by hand.
> - The form renderer already pre-fills every field that declares a
JSON-Schema `default`. The manifests do not use this mechanism for
sizing or image fields.
> - This pull request adds optional `default` values to the Daytona,
Modal, and exe.dev manifest schemas.
> - The benefit is a form that opens with known-good values. Users can
create a working environment without provider research.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Current behavior**
The Environment configuration form opens with empty sizing and image
fields for the Daytona, Modal, and exe.dev sandbox providers. Users must
find working values in provider documentation. Modal declares `appName`
and `image` as required with no default, so the form blocks submission
until the user invents both values.
**Proposed behavior**
The provider manifests declare JSON-Schema `default` values. The
existing form renderer pre-fills them:
- Daytona: CPU `4`, memory `4` GiB, disk `10` GiB, image
`daytonaio/sandbox:0.8.0`
- exe.dev: CPU `4`, memory `4GB`, disk `20GB`
- Modal: app name `paperclip`, image `node:22`
Secret-ref fields (API keys, tokens) get no defaults on purpose. The
form persists a raw string in a secret-ref field as a company secret on
save. A placeholder default would become a stored secret with a bogus
value. Each plugin test suite now guards this invariant.
**Reason and benefit**
New users can create a working sandbox environment without guessing. The
defaults stay optional: users can clear or change every value, and the
schema marks no new field as required. The Modal image default `node:22`
satisfies the sandbox runtime contract in `SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md`
(`node`, `sh`, and `tar` on PATH).
**Subsystem affected**
Sandbox provider plugins (`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/*`):
environment driver `configSchema` manifests.
**Breaking changes**
None. Defaults only seed the create-mode form. Saved environments keep
their stored config. E2B, Novita, Cloudflare, and Kubernetes manifests
do not change: E2B and Novita already default to their base templates,
and the Cloudflare bridge and Kubernetes cluster fields have no sensible
universal value.
## What Changed
- Add `default` values for `cpu`, `memory`, `disk`, and `image` in the
Daytona manifest. Trim the memory description to match.
- Add `default` values for `cpu`, `memory`, and `disk` in the exe.dev
manifest.
- Add `default` values for `appName` and `image` in the Modal manifest.
Extend the image description with the runtime-contract rationale.
- Add manifest tests in all three plugins: defaults match expected
values, defaults satisfy their own schema constraints, and no secret-ref
field declares a default.
- Bump plugin versions: daytona and modal `0.1.0` → `0.1.1`, exe-dev
`0.1.1` → `0.1.2`.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm test` in `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`,
`.../modal`, and `.../exe-dev`. The new `* manifest form defaults`
suites pass.
- Run `./node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit` in each of the three packages.
Typecheck passes.
- Manual: rebuild the plugins (`pnpm build` in each package), let the
plugin dev-watcher refresh the manifest, then open Environments → New
environment. The Daytona form shows CPU 4, Memory 4, Disk 10, and image
`daytonaio/sandbox:0.8.0`. The Modal form shows `paperclip` and
`node:22`. The API key fields stay empty.
- Verified live on a local instance: the served `configSchema` in the
plugin registry carries the new defaults, and existing environments are
unchanged.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change touches only manifest schema metadata and tests.
No runtime code path changes.
- New environments created with untouched forms now request 4 CPU / 4
GiB / 10 GiB from Daytona instead of provider minimums. This can raise
cost per sandbox for users who previously saved empty fields.
- The Daytona image default pins `daytonaio/sandbox:0.8.0`. The default
needs a manual bump when Daytona ships new sandbox images.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Issues use `in_review` to request a final decision from an
authorized writer
> - The server rejected an assignee agent that tried to close its own
review, even when the issue had no independent-review rule
> - This rejection stopped the default agent workflow and did not
represent the configured execution-stage rules
> - Paperclip needs an open default and explicit issue-level constraints
for teams that require an independent or human verdict
> - This pull request removes the unconditional rejection and adds
`anyone`, `not_creator`, and `human_only` review policies
> - The benefit is a working default path with opt-in, authenticated
verdict controls
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10635, #4429, and #10671.
The related public work covers execution-stage independence,
self-approval fallback behavior, and durable review paths. This change
is distinct. It controls who can resolve an issue review verdict. It
keeps configured execution stages active.
## What Changed
- Added a nullable `review_policy` issue column. Null has the same
meaning as `anyone`. The migration does not backfill existing issues.
- Added shared create, update, response, and compact issue contracts for
`anyone`, `not_creator`, and `human_only`.
- Removed the unconditional agent self-approval rejection for
`in_review` issues.
- Added one reusable verdict-actor check for terminal status changes and
pending interaction accept or reject actions.
- Used the authenticated principal type for `human_only`. Agent keys and
run tokens remain agent principals.
- Used the latest transition into `in_review` to identify the requester
for `not_creator`.
- Added actionable 403 responses that name the policy, the allowed
actor, and the next step.
- Kept the configured execution-stage transition and signoff behavior.
- Added focused contract, helper, status-route, interaction-route, and
execution-stage regression tests.
- Updated the implementation specification for the new issue field.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-review-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-stalled-review-decision-routes.test.ts
--reporter=dot` passed: 42 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` passed, including migration
numbering and safety checks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps` passed across server, CLI, plugin
SDK/examples, plugin wiki, and UI.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passed.
- SecurityEngineer review approved the authenticated-principal checks
and accepted policy-relaxation tradeoff with no required changes.
- Greptile reviewed the latest head at 5/5 with zero inline comments or
follow-ups.
- The latest-head GitHub rollup passed build, typecheck,
server/workspace tests, serialized suites, canary, e2e, and external
security checks.
## Risks
- The migration adds one nullable text column. It has no default and no
backfill.
- `not_creator` reads the latest recorded transition into `in_review`.
It denies the verdict when it cannot identify the requester.
- Agents can change or relax `reviewPolicy` when they have issue write
access. This is intentional for this issue-level control.
- Null and `anyone` do not add a database query to the verdict path.
- Configured execution-stage checks still run after the issue-level
policy check.
> This work aligns with the completed "Agent Reviews and Approvals" and
"Enforced Outcomes" roadmap items. It does not add a new roadmap
capability.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The exact deployment ID and context-window size
are not exposed to the agent. The run used reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and GitHub CLI access.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Daytona sandbox provider lives in
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`
> - That plugin depends on `@daytonaio/sdk` for session control and
command execution
> - The stable SDK version moved forward, but the plugin still used an
older pin
> - This pull request pins the SDK to the current stable release and
keeps the package build and tests green
> - The benefit is the plugin uses the current client surface with a
very small change set
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Daytona plugin keeps an older `@daytonaio/sdk` pin than the current
stable release.
**Current behavior**
The plugin depends on `^0.171.0`.
**Proposed behavior**
The plugin pins `@daytonaio/sdk` to `0.203.0`.
**Reason and benefit**
The plugin uses the current stable client. The build and the existing
tests still pass with the real 0.203.0 types. The change keeps the
tracked diff small.
**Breaking changes**
None. The package manifest changes only the SDK pin. The workspace
package is excluded from the root lockfile.
**Additional context**
Refs #7333, which updated the same package to `0.183.0`.
## What Changed
- Updated `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/package.json` to
pin `@daytonaio/sdk` at `0.203.0`.
- Kept the change limited to the plugin package manifest.
## Verification
- `pnpm run build` in the plugin directory passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/vitest.config.ts` passed.
- `git status` showed only the one-line manifest change before the PR
open step.
- `git fetch origin chore/daytona-sdk-0-203-0` returned
`d2592644e80dfac2cfae6d9ccc2188267fe75758`.
- `git diff --stat origin/master...HEAD` showed only the one manifest
file change.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only updates a package pin.
- The plugin build and tests already passed against the new SDK surface.
- A future SDK release could need a follow-up pin update.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool-use enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators often open self-hosted Paperclip over plain HTTP on a LAN
or private network.
> - Browser Clipboard API writes are not reliable in that insecure
context.
> - Paperclip already has one shared helper with a legacy copy fallback,
but many current copy actions bypass it.
> - This pull request routes every core UI copy action and the
first-party workspace-diff plugin through the shared helper.
> - The benefit is consistent copy behavior on HTTPS, localhost, and
plain-HTTP private deployments.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #3529.
This change supersedes the stale prior attempt in #3531. Current master
has more copy surfaces and a first-party plugin UI bridge that the prior
branch does not cover.
## What Changed
- Replaced direct Clipboard API writes and duplicate fallback
implementations across the current core UI with `copyTextToClipboard`.
- Added an HTTP-safe clipboard function to the plugin UI SDK and wired
the host bridge to the same implementation.
- Migrated the first-party workspace-diff plugin to the plugin SDK
clipboard function.
- Added unit coverage for native rejection fallback and plugin host
delegation.
- Added a source-level regression test that rejects new direct clipboard
writes outside the shared implementation.
- Documented the plugin UI clipboard function.
## Verification
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run ...` for 14 affected suites: 164
tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run tests/ui-clipboard.test.ts` in
`packages/plugins/sdk`: 1 test passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm -r typecheck`: passed for 31 workspace projects.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm test:run`: passed.
- `NODE_ENV=production pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed with all gates clean.
## Risks
Low risk. Secure contexts still use the modern Clipboard API. Plain HTTP
and rejected modern writes use the existing `execCommand("copy")`
fallback. That API is deprecated, but it is the compatibility path
required for insecure contexts. The change has no schema, API, or visual
design effect.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip keeps company work visible and governed.
> - Sandbox agents run serial sync work across worker and host
boundaries.
> - The current span path hid real wall-clock time for that sync work.
> - The host needs safe timestamps if it wants true span width.
> - This pull request carries worker timestamps, validates them, and
records the real duration.
> - The benefit is clearer operator visibility for sandbox sync work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This touches `packages/plugins`, `server`, and the
Daytona plugin test surface.
**Problem or motivation**
Sandbox sync spans opened and closed in one host call. The native width
stayed near zero, so the real time spent in serial round trips was hard
to see.
**Proposed solution**
Carry worker start and end times across the span record protocol.
Validate the pair at the host boundary. Record the host span with the
true duration when the pair is safe.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the numeric duration only. That keeps the data, but it does not
widen the span and it does not show the real wall-clock time.
**Roadmap alignment**
This fits the `Cloud / Sandbox agents` and `Artifacts & Work Products`
areas in `ROADMAP.md`. I found no other roadmap item that covers this
span-width gap.
**Additional context**
The host allowlist stays narrow. Unknown names still map to
`sandbox.provider.other`. Invalid timestamp pairs still fall back to the
synchronous path.
Related public PRs: none found.
## What Changed
- Added optional `startTimeMs` and `endTimeMs` fields to the
`span.record` protocol.
- Captured start and end times in the worker tracer and sent them to the
host.
- Validated host timestamps with finite, ordered, bounded checks before
span reconstruction.
- Extended the host allowlist to the sandbox sync command names.
- Wrapped each inbound sync round trip in its own named span.
- Added tests for the worker path, host boundary, host recorder, and
Daytona sync flow.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugins-sdk test`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/daytona-plugin test`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server tsc --noEmit` still shows
pre-existing `drizzle-orm` duplicate-declaration errors in this sandbox.
The changed files do not touch those lines.
- GitHub checks are green.
- Greptile review is 5/5.
- No open review threads remain.
## Risks
- A bad timestamp pair can fall back to the synchronous path.
- The host clock gate can reject spans if the pair is stale, reversed,
or too large.
- The new worker fields change the wire protocol, but the public plugin
tracer contract stays the same.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane that coordinates autonomous agent
work.
> - Agents need to collaborate on issues beyond their current
assignment.
> - Cross-issue comments and updates are useful, but an unbounded run
can create cascading side effects.
> - The control plane must preserve company-wide collaboration while
containing each run's influence.
> - Comment attribution must also show the responsible user and the
acting agent in audits.
> - This pull request adds run-bound cross-issue containment,
attribution, and agent-class wake rules.
> - The benefit is safer collaboration without restoring issue-assignee
ownership restrictions.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Agent-authenticated issue comments, updates, reopen behavior, and
assignee wake routing.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: server routes and services, shared contracts, database
schema and migration, and implementation documentation.
**Current behavior**
An authenticated agent can collaborate across company issues, but one
heartbeat run has no per-run side-effect boundary. Comment records also
do not persist the responsible user separately from the acting agent.
**Proposed behavior**
Require a valid heartbeat run for agent cross-issue comments and
updates. Audit each attempt and cap a run at 20 cross-issue effects.
Keep the cap in log-only mode until it automatically changes to
enforcement at 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC. Preserve same-issue writes. Use
agent-class wakes for agent comments. Keep same-run completion comments
from reopening completed work. Record the responsible user on
agent-authored comments and activity.
**Reason and benefit**
Agents can collaborate on other issues without an assignment gate, while
each run has an atomic and inspectable side-effect limit. Operators can
identify both the acting agent and the responsible user.
**Breaking changes**
After 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC, the twenty-first cross-issue comment or
update from one heartbeat run returns a containment error. Agent
cross-issue writes without valid run context are rejected. The migration
is additive and backfills existing agent-authored comment attribution
where the source data is available.
## What Changed
- Added an atomic per-run counter for cross-issue agent comments and
updates.
- Added audit events for allowed and rejected cross-issue effects.
- Added the automatic log-only to enforcement flip at 2026-08-11 00:00
UTC.
- Added responsible-user attribution to agent-authored comments,
activity records, shared types, and validators.
- Added an additive migration and migration coverage for existing
comments.
- Updated reopen, resume, and wake behavior so agent comments create
agent-class wakes and same-run completion comments remain inert.
- Updated the implementation specification and regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/cross-issue-influence-limit.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-attribution-audit-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
packages/db/src/issue-comment-on-behalf-migration.test.ts` — 97 tests
passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed, including migration safety checks.
- `pnpm test:run` — server batch: 3,364 passed and 2 skipped; UI batch:
3,504 passed. One unrelated CLI doctor test warned because this agent
runtime injects static AWS credentials.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` — 8 tests passed and confirmed
the CLI failure was ambient-environment sensitive.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
## Risks
- The fixed enforcement timestamp changes production behavior
automatically on 2026-08-11 00:00 UTC. Audit logs before that time
provide rollout visibility.
- The per-run counter serializes on the heartbeat-run row. This prevents
concurrent attempts from racing past the cap but adds a small lock scope
for cross-issue writes.
- Existing comments can only be backfilled when their acting run or
agent attribution is recoverable.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs AI agents inside Daytona sandbox environments
> - The Daytona plugin wraps agent commands in bwrap to prevent
accidental writes outside the workspace
> - bwrap previously used `--unshare-user --uid <uid> --gid <gid>` to
run commands as the sandbox user inside the container
> - This creates a uid_map of `<uid> 0 1` — inside-uid maps to
outside-uid 0 (root)
> - Files owned by the sandbox user (outside-uid 1001) appear as
overflow uid 65534 (nobody) from inside the namespace
> - So all writes to the workspace fail with Permission denied, and the
agent cannot run
> - This PR replaces the user-namespace approach with `su -s /bin/sh
<user>`, which gives the correct uid mapping
> - The benefit is that bwrap works correctly on Daytona: writes succeed
and the advisory isolation is preserved
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Describing the bug inline per the bug report
template.
**What happened?**
Running a Codex agent in a Daytona sandbox failed immediately. The agent
could not create directories inside the workspace:
```
mkdir /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace/.paperclip-runtime/codex/paperclip-bridge/queue ... failed with exit code 1:
bwrap: Can't find source path /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace: Permission denied
```
Root cause: bwrap used `--unshare-user --uid 1001 --gid 1001` (via
sudo/root). This writes uid_map `1001 0 1` — inside-uid 1001 maps to
outside-uid 0. Files owned by outside-uid 1001 (the workspace) appear as
overflow uid 65534 (nobody) from inside the namespace. `--bind-try`
suppresses ENOENT but not EACCES, so the bind exits 0 and the wrapper
proceeds — but every write inside then fails with Permission denied.
The bwrap capability probe (`sudo -n bwrap --unshare-user --uid 0 --gid
0 --ro-bind / / -- true`) did not test the workspace bind or the su
invocation, so it incorrectly reported bwrap as available.
**Expected behavior**
The agent should start and run normally inside the Daytona sandbox.
Directory creation and file writes in the workspace should succeed.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure Paperclip with a Daytona sandbox provider
2. Start a Codex agent task targeting a Daytona sandbox
3. Observe the `adapter_failed` error: `mkdir ... failed with exit code
1: bwrap: Can't find source path /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace:
Permission denied`
**Paperclip version or commit**
master (reproducible on current HEAD before this fix)
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
- [x] Codex
**Relevant logs or output**
```

failed with exit code 1: bwrap: Can't find source path /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace: Permission denied
(adapter_failed)
```
## What Changed
- Replaced `--unshare-user --uid <uid> --gid <gid>` with `su -s /bin/sh
<username>` in `buildBwrapCommand`. bwrap runs as real root (for
bind-mount capability), then `su` drops into the sandbox user. Inside
uid=1001 maps to outside uid=1001, so workspace files are writable.
- Removed `detectSandboxUidGid` (ran `id -u` + `id -g`). Added
`detectSandboxUsername` (runs `id -un`) — the username is what `su`
needs.
- Updated `detectBwrapAvailable` probe to test the actual invocation:
`sudo -n bwrap --ro-bind / / [--bind-try <workspace> <workspace>] -- su
-s /bin/sh '<user>' -c true`. This catches both the su failure mode and
the EACCES-on-workspace-bind case.
- Updated `detectBwrapCapability` to run sequentially (username first,
then probe with that username and remoteCwd).
- Replaced `sandboxUid`/`sandboxGid` in lease metadata with
`sandboxUsername`.
- All three `detectBwrapCapability` call sites now pass `remoteCwd`.
- Updated `BwrapExecPlan` type and `resolveBwrapExecPlan` to use
`username: string` instead of `identity: { uid, gid }`.
- Updated tests TDD-style: rewrote tests to describe the new behavior
first, then implemented to pass them.
## Verification
**SSH verification** (run against a live Daytona sandbox before writing
the fix):
```bash
# Old approach — fails
sudo -n bwrap --unshare-user --uid 1001 --gid 1001 \
--ro-bind / / --bind-try /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace \
-- sh -c "mkdir -p /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace/test"
# → mkdir: cannot create directory: Permission denied
# New approach — works
sudo -n bwrap --ro-bind / / \
--bind-try /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace \
-- su -s /bin/sh daytona -c "mkdir -p /home/daytona/paperclip-workspace/test && echo ok"
# → ok (files owned by uid 1001)
```
**Unit tests:**
```
cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona && npx vitest run
# 114 passed, 2 pre-existing failures (macOS tar compatibility in file-sync.ts, unrelated)
```
## Risks
- `su` must be available in the Daytona sandbox image. It is a standard
POSIX tool present in every image tested. If absent,
`detectBwrapAvailable` returns false and execution falls back to the
unwrapped path (same behavior as before).
- The advisory bwrap wrapper was never a security boundary — it is
best-effort. The behavioral change (root → sandbox user inside the
container) is strictly better: files created by the agent now have the
correct ownership.
- `sandboxUid` and `sandboxGid` are removed from lease metadata. Any
external code reading those fields will get `undefined`. They were only
used internally by `resolveBwrapExecPlan`, which now reads
`sandboxUsername`.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`) via Claude Code CLI — tool use
enabled, extended context. The model diagnosed the bug via SSH
inspection, designed the fix, and implemented it TDD-style (tests first,
then implementation).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip uses pull requests to ship control-plane changes with
review and audit.
> - This change extends sandbox provider telemetry.
> - The first PR added startup and exec spans.
> - This PR adds provider spans for cache hits, plugin tracer flow, and
Daytona file sync steps.
> - The host must keep the trust boundary and reject unsafe span data.
> - The result is fuller OTel coverage with bounded labels and safe
parentage.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
Sandbox provider telemetry lacks an explicit cache-hit signal, plugin
span context, and file-sync pack and transfer spans.
The current proxy for a cache hit is fragile.
The plugin SDK also needs a safe tracer surface and a per-call parent
context.
**Proposed solution**
Add an explicit `cacheHit` flag from the Daytona sandbox handle lookup.
Expose `ctx.tracer` on the plugin context and pass a `traceparent`
string with each call.
Record provider spans on the host with allowlist clamping and capability
checks.
Wrap Daytona file sync pack and transfer steps in spans.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the old `providerGetMs == 0` proxy.
Reject that path because the cache-hit decision belongs at the handle
lookup, not in a timing proxy.
The host stays the trust boundary for worker span data.
It clamps labels, rejects bad parent data, and gates the worker-to-host
span RPC by capability.
A security review completed before this PR opened.
## What Changed
- Added an explicit `cacheHit` flag from the Daytona sandbox handle
lookup.
- Added `ctx.tracer` on the plugin context and a `traceparent` field in
the per-call context.
- Added host-side span recording with attribute clamping and capability
checks.
- Wrapped Daytona file sync pack and transfer steps in spans.
- Added tests for the host trust boundary, the plugin tracer no-op path,
and the Daytona span paths.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-daytona exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
plugin-host-services environment-execution-target instrumentation
plugin-worker-manager`
- `tsc --noEmit` for server, plugin-sdk, and adapter-utils
## Risks
- Span data now crosses the worker boundary, so the host allowlist and
capability gate must stay strict.
- The `traceparent` path must stay valid and host-owned.
- Daytona file sync spans must not add new round trips.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change touches server orchestration, sandbox
transport, and observability.
**Problem or motivation**
A run can @-mention another project. Local targets stage each referenced
project and give the agent a path. Remote confined sandboxes dropped the
full referenced set, so the agent could not read those project files or
paths.
**Proposed solution**
Enable referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox transport behind
`PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`, which defaults on. Keep
the SSH transport out of scope and keep it dropping referenced projects.
Repoint each referenced workspace hint at its staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directory. Publish
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON` on the confined sandbox lane. Count each
per-project remote staging failure as a `staging` failure in the
requested-vs-synced metrics.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the remote path drop-only. That keeps the gap open. Move the change
into SSH too. That expands scope beyond the target transport and adds
risk.
**Roadmap alignment**
No matching item in `ROADMAP.md` showed up in this review.
**Additional context**
The change lands in three commits. The first commit opens the gate for
the confined sandbox transport. The second commit repoints the workspace
hints and publishes the workspace map. The third commit records
per-project staging failure data.
## What Changed
- Opened remote referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox
transport behind `PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`.
- Repointed referenced workspace hints to the staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directories and published
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON`.
- Counted per-project remote staging failures as first-class `staging`
failures in the requested-vs-synced observability.
## Verification
- The pushed ref
`refs/heads/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox` resolves to
the authorized submit SHA.
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox`
shows exactly the three expected commits.
- The handoff reports server typecheck clean, adapter-utils typecheck
clean, and the listed unit tests passing.
- The handoff also reports no open review comments and no Greptile score
yet.
## Risks
- The change touches authorization and sandbox path handling, so
regressions could block remote runs or expose the wrong project context.
- The new flag defaults on, so any bug in the remote path affects normal
remote use.
- SSH stays out of scope, so the two transport paths must remain
distinct.

OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex. Tool use enabled. Context window not reported in
this run.

> - The pure bwrap builder and the capability probes already merged in
#10541

contract
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No public GitHub issue exists for this work.
- Related PR: #10541
Problem:
The Daytona execute seam can run commands without the advisory bwrap
wrapper when the lease does not yet provide the wrapper data.
Proposed solution:
Activate the advisory bwrap wrapper when the lease reports bwrap support
and a known uid or gid. Keep plain execution when wrap is not safe.
Alternatives:
- Always wrap every command. This can break current behavior and can
create root-owned files when the uid or gid is missing.
- Reject execution when bwrap is missing. This can fail a lease for a
best-effort wrapper and would change the current runtime contract.
Roadmap alignment:
This work fits the Cloud / Sandbox agents roadmap area.
## What Changed
- `executeOneShot` now accepts a bwrap execution plan.
- `onEnvironmentExecute` now reads the lease bwrap flags and the
writable sync paths.
- A helper resolves when the seam should wrap the command.
- The writable set now includes the workspace path and the collected
read-write sync destinations.
- The wrapper re-binds stdin after the fresh `/tmp` mount.
- The README explains the advisory wrapper behavior and the writable set
model.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-daytona exec vitest run
plugin.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-daytona exec tsc --noEmit`
## Risks
- A missing bwrap tool, a missing `sudo -n` rule, or a blocked user
namespace keeps plain execution.
- The change shifts the execute seam, so command setup needs careful
review.
- The wrapper is advisory, so it does not add a security boundary by
itself.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use, code execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### Problem or motivation
The Daytona sandbox provider needs a clear advisory wrapper path and
best-effort capability checks.
The provider must not fail a lease when the host lacks bubblewrap
support.
The wrapper must stay advisory only.
It must not change the security model.
### Proposed solution
Add a pure command builder for the advisory wrapper and non-throwing
probes for bubblewrap and sandbox uid or gid data.
Store the probe result on the lease metadata so later steps can make a
stable choice.
Keep the execution seam unchanged.
### Alternatives considered
Do nothing and keep the current execution seam unchanged.
That path gives no signal when a file change is not durable.
This pull request adds the signal without changing runtime behavior.
### Roadmap alignment
This work fits the Daytona sandbox provider path and keeps the advisory
wrapper outside the execution seam.
It does not change the current security model.
### Additional context
The wrapper is advisory only.
It adds no security.
The read-only root is a feedback signal.
## What Changed
- Added `buildBwrapCommand` as a pure string builder for the advisory
wrapper command.
- Added `detectBwrapAvailable` and `detectSandboxUidGid` as best-effort
probes that never throw.
- Stored `bwrapAvailable`, `sandboxUid`, and `sandboxGid` on the lease
metadata in the acquire, resume, and probe hooks.
- Added a README section that describes the advisory wrapper model.
- Kept the execution seam unchanged.
## Verification
- `vitest run` for
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts`
- The run passed all 106 tests, including the new builder and probe
coverage.
- The standalone `tsc` run showed only the known baseline noise that
already exists on `master`.
## Risks
- Risk is low because the execution seam does not change.
- The new wrapper stays advisory and does not alter the sandbox security
model.
- The probe results only add metadata and do not fail the lease on
missing host support.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI agent companies
> - Sandbox providers move files between the host and the sandbox
> - The runtime needs advisory data for which sync paths are writable
> - The host already knows that intent when it prepares the sync map
> - Daytona can record that intent for later use
> - This pull request adds the advisory access field and collects
writable paths
> - The benefit is that later runtime work can use the data without
changing current flow
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The description below
follows the feature-request template fields.
### Problem or motivation
An agent runs inside an ephemeral sandbox. Some sandbox paths keep agent
changes; other paths do not. Today the runtime has no declared signal
for which sync destinations the agent may change and keep. A later
feedback wrapper needs this signal to give the agent real-time feedback
when a write lands on a non-persistent path.
### Proposed solution
Add an optional advisory `access: "rw" | "ro"` field to the sync
file-mapping types. The host sets `rw` for the workspace, git-history,
and asset destinations, and `ro` for referenced-project trees. An absent
value defaults to `ro`. The Daytona provider collects the `rw` target
directories into a per-lease writable set for later use. This change
adds the metadata and the collection only. No execution path reads the
writable set yet, so runtime behavior does not change.
### Alternatives considered
Derive a static writable set in provider code. This alternative is
weaker: the layer that authors each sync destination already knows the
intent, so a per-operation declaration is more accurate and does not
hard-code a path list.
### Roadmap alignment
This is the first step toward an advisory sandbox feedback wrapper. The
wrapper is best-effort and adds no security. The ephemeral sandbox stays
the only boundary.
### Additional context
The field is advisory metadata. It does not change the file transfer and
adds no security.
## What Changed
- Added an optional `access` field to the sync file mapping types.
- Set the workspace, git history, and asset destinations to writable.
- Set referenced project destinations to read only.
- Added a writable set store in the Daytona provider.
- Recorded the parent directory of each writable sync mapping during
sync in.
## Verification
- The handoff reports these checks before push.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec tsc --noEmit`
- `vitest run src/plugin.test.ts` in the Daytona package
- `tsc --noEmit` in the Daytona package
## Risks
- Low risk.
- The new field is advisory.
- The writable set store is best effort and in memory.
- A cold store falls back to the workspace baseline.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use, code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Cloud and sandbox agents need less round-trip overhead at workspace
start
> - The workspace start path now uploads the git history and the working
tree overlay in two separate sync operations
> - That adds extra mkdir, guard, upload, and rename work for the same
workspace bytes
> - This pull request merges those two uploads into one guarded sync
operation
> - The benefit is one sync round trip for the workspace bytes with the
same guard and login-shell contract
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change.
### Problem
A git-backed workspace start uploads the git-history clone and the
working-tree overlay as two separate host-to-sandbox sync operations.
### Proposed Solution
Merge the two uploads into one sync operation. Keep both tar mappings
under the same confinement guard. Run the git-history extract first,
then the overlay extract, then optional cleanup.
### Alternatives Considered
Keep two sync operations. That keeps the current round-trip cost and
duplicates the guard, upload, and rename work.
### Roadmap Alignment
This change supports the roadmap work on cloud and sandbox agents by
reducing workspace start overhead.
## What Changed
- Merge the git-history tar and the working-tree overlay tar into one
sync operation.
- Run the git-history extract first, then the overlay extract, then
optional remove-deleted-paths cleanup.
- Keep both temporary tar targets under the runtime directory so the
first extract cannot delete the second tar before use.
- Keep the symlink-escape guard, login-shell contract, and file-mapping
checks on the merged file set.
## Verification
- `tsc --noEmit` on `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`
- `@paperclipai/adapter-utils` full project test suite: 354 pass / 4
skipped
- Orchestrator proof: one merged operation with both tars and two
ordered extract commands
- Orchestrator proof: the confinement guard covers both tar mappings
- Daytona plugin `plugin.test.ts`: 94 pass
## Risks
- Any regression in the extract order could change workspace start
behavior.
- Any regression in the merged guard could block valid uploads or miss
an escape attempt.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, tool use enabled, current Codex session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI agents.
> - Sandbox startup uses bridge directories and a Daytona workspace
handle.
> - The cold path made repeat directory creation calls and one avoidable
handle fetch.
> - Those calls add delay but do not change state.
> - This pull request folds the bridge directory setup into one exec,
removes redundant process-session setup, and seeds the Daytona handle
cache at acquire.
> - The benefit is fewer deterministic host-to-sandbox round trips and
faster cold starts.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Problem: Cold sandbox start does extra directory creation work and
re-fetches a handle it already has.
- Expected result: The startup path should create each directory once
and reuse the fresh handle.
- Related PRs I found on GitHub: #9280, #9293.
## What Changed
- Added `makeDirs` to the bridge queue client and used one `mkdir -p`
exec for the callback bridge directories.
- Removed the two upfront `mkdir` execs for the process-session bridge
stdin and events directories.
- Seeded the Daytona sandbox handle cache at acquire so realize can
reuse the fresh handle.
- Reset the process-scoped cache in the compatibility test so the second
sync run sees the expected exec count.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run` - 351
passed, 4 skipped.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/sandbox-provider-daytona exec vitest run`
- 91 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` - clean.
- I checked `ROADMAP.md` for sandbox round-trip work. I found no
duplicate planned core work for this change.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change removes redundant calls and adds cache seeding.
- A wrong cache scope would hide the handle. The seed now checks the
lease scope and fails loudly.
- The daytona package `tsc --noEmit` still depends on SDK types that are
not installed in this isolated workspace. CI covers that path.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5, tool-using, with code execution in the current

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The sandbox exec path starts agent commands and passes runtime
options to the server and plugin layers
> - This path kept a noProfile flag after the exec wrappers stopped
sourcing a login profile
> - The flag no longer changed behavior, so it left dead API surface in
the protocol and runtime helpers
> - This pull request removes that dead flag from the plugin protocol,
the server drivers, and the managed-runtime helpers
> - It also updates the tests and points the agent runtime README at the
sandbox requirements file
> - The benefit is a smaller and clearer exec-path contract with no
behavior change
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No public GitHub issue exists.
### What happened?
The sandbox exec path kept a `noProfile` field after the exec wrappers
stopped sourcing a login profile.
### Expected behavior
The plugin protocol, server drivers, and managed-runtime helpers should
not expose or forward a dead field.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run a managed-runtime command through the sandbox exec path.
2. Inspect the protocol payload and runtime helper inputs.
3. Observe that `noProfile` is present even though it no longer changes
behavior.
### Paperclip version or commit
`60c7da86fc7a6c1dbf37bbcd86e25ecaaff01607`
### Deployment mode
Built from source (pnpm dev / pnpm build)
### Additional context
This pull request removes the dead field, updates the affected tests,
and updates the README note for the sandbox profile path.
## What Changed
- Removed noProfile from the plugin protocol and the server exec-path
call sites.
- Updated the managed-runtime helpers to use the narrower exec-path
contract.
- Updated the affected tests and added the README pointer to
SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md.
## Verification
- `git grep -n "noProfile" -- packages/ server/` returns zero matches.
- `tsc --noEmit` passed for `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`,
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk`, and `@paperclipai/server`.
- `command-managed-runtime.test.ts` passed: 22/22.
- `environment-runtime.test.ts` passed: 24/24.
## Risks
- Low risk. The flag was already a no-op.
- A hidden external caller may still send the removed field.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5, tool-enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip keeps agent work on a controlled execution plane.
> - Sandbox exec wrappers run on the hot path for agent commands.
> - The current change removes the explicit `nvm.sh` load step from
those wrappers.
> - The sandbox image already restores PATH through profile startup.
> - This pull request keeps profile sourcing where the wrapper still
needs it and drops only the `nvm.sh` load step.
> - The result is a smaller command path with the same node and agent
CLI resolution.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change.
Problem:
The sandbox exec wrappers spent extra time sourcing `nvm.sh` before each
command.
The sandbox image already restores PATH in
`/etc/profile.d/00-restore-env.sh`, so that explicit `nvm.sh` work was
redundant.
Proposed solution:
Remove the `nvm.sh` source step from all six wrappers.
Keep the profile sourcing that the provider still needs for PATH setup.
Alternatives considered:
Keep the existing shell setup and accept the launch cost.
That keeps the current behavior, but it leaves the hot path slower than
needed.
Roadmap alignment:
This change keeps the sandbox command path small and predictable.
It does not change the adapter contract or the node resolution rules.
## What Changed
- Removed `nvm.sh` sourcing from all six sandbox exec wrappers.
- Kept profile sourcing where the provider still needs it for PATH
setup.
- Switched Modal to a non-login shell because the script now sources
profiles itself.
- Updated wrapper tests to assert that built commands do not source
`nvm.sh`.
## Verification
- Local TypeScript typecheck passed in each changed package.
- Focused provider tests passed for Daytona, E2B, Modal, exe-dev,
Cloudflare bridge, and adapter-utils.
- One Daytona test failure is pre-existing and unrelated to this change.
## Risks
- This change alters shell startup for sandbox exec paths.
- A provider that depends on implicit shell setup may need a follow-up.
- The current tests cover command shape, but they do not cover every
runtime shell path.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies
> - The Daytona adapter turns tasks into shell commands and manages
execution overhead
> - Many short-lived exec calls still pay for login-shell profile
sourcing even when the binary already resolves on the sandbox default
PATH
> - That extra startup work adds latency on the hot path for repeated
command execution
> - This pull request adds an opt-in fast path that skips profile
sourcing only when the caller explicitly requests it and the command
does not need shell initialization
> - The benefit is lower per-call latency for eligible commands without
changing the conservative default behavior for commands that need the
profile
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This change does not reference a public GitHub issue. It follows the
same Daytona startup-speed work as merged PR #10335 and narrows the
execution path for eligible commands while keeping the default
login-shell behavior intact.
## What Changed
- Added an optional `noProfile` flag to
`PluginEnvironmentExecuteParams`.
- Refactored Daytona login-shell script assembly so the profile and nvm
sourcing block is omitted only on the explicit fast path.
- Preserved environment prefixing, `cd`, shell quoting,
`NONINTERACTIVE_GIT_ENV`, stdin handling, and `durationMs` behavior on
both paths.
- Added regression tests for the fast path omission, the preserved
execution parameters, and the default profile-sourcing path.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/sandbox-provider-daytona exec vitest run
src/plugin.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk tsc --noEmit`
- Reverted the guard locally to confirm the two behavior tests fail
again, then restored the change.
## Risks
- If a caller opts into `noProfile` for a command that depends on shell
initialization, the command can fail to resolve its binary.
- The API comment and opt-in design keep that risk narrow; the default
path remains unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 (Codex tool-using coding agent)

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, so
runtime handoffs have to preserve the exact behavior an agent asked for.
> - The sandbox-provider layer is where uploaded files and follow-up
commands become a real in-sandbox operation.
> - The provider-delegable sync-in seam already exists from the prior
PR; without this follow-up, native providers can still accept
command-bearing uploads and silently drop the commands.
> - That is a fail-open gap for native sandbox providers, because the
file transfer succeeds while the intended post-upload work never runs.
> - This pull request teaches Daytona and Kubernetes to execute
`postUploadCommands` in order, inside the sandbox, after the files land.
> - The benefit is consistent and safer sync semantics: native providers
either run the commands as requested or fail fast instead of pretending
the operation completed fully.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This PR builds on the previously merged provider-delegable sync-in seam
and closes the remaining gap for native providers that still dropped
`postUploadCommands`.
Problem:
- A sync operation could include ordered `postUploadCommands`, but a
native provider could finish the file upload and skip the commands
entirely.
- That creates fail-open behavior for command-bearing uploads,
especially when the caller relies on the provider to execute the
follow-up action in the sandbox.
Proposed fix:
- Execute `postUploadCommands` inside the sandbox after file placement.
- Preserve the provided command order.
- Fail fast on the first non-zero exit or timeout.
- Keep command execution verbatim and confine any provided `cwd` under
the workspace root.
Related public PR:
- Refs: #10340
## What Changed
- Daytona `performSyncIn` now executes ordered `postUploadCommands`
through the existing `executeCommand` seam.
- Kubernetes `performSyncIn` now executes ordered `postUploadCommands`
through its streaming pod exec path.
- Added workspace confinement for provided `cwd` values and defaulted
missing `cwd` to the remote root.
- Added tests covering the new post-upload command execution behavior in
both provider packages.
## Verification
- Latest validation recorded on the handoff branch:
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` and `@paperclipai/plugin-kubernetes`
typechecks passed.
- Daytona Vitest: `63/63` passing in `plugin.test.ts`.
- Kubernetes Vitest: `195/195` passing, including `file-sync.test.ts`.
- `git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD` showed a single expected
commit on the branch.
## Risks
- Command execution semantics are stricter now, so malformed commands or
a bad `cwd` will fail the sync instead of being ignored.
- The change makes provider behavior more explicit, which can surface
previously hidden failures in callers that assumed commands were
optional.
- Timeout behavior may differ slightly between providers, so the failure
mode is intentionally fail-fast.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent with tool use enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Daytona sandbox adapter spends time on repeated per-exec sandbox
lookups during a lease
> - That repeated lookup is pure overhead once the started sandbox
handle is already known and trusted for the lease
> - The adapter still needs strict isolation and fail-closed behavior
because the handle is an authenticated compute object, not an inert
value
> - This pull request memoizes the started sandbox handle per lease in a
process-scoped cache, and now advances freshness only after successful
reuse so failed commands cannot suppress stale-handle refreshes
> - The benefit is lower provider-get latency on the hot path while
keeping resume safety, teardown safety, and observability intact
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is a Daytona performance fix, not a standalone public GitHub issue.
### Problem / Motivation
- Repeated `client.get(sandboxId)` calls on the sandbox hot path
re-fetch a handle that is already started and trusted for the current
lease.
- The extra provider round-trip is pure overhead on repeated exec, sync,
resume, and interactive-cancel flows.
- Cache freshness also has to be tied to successful reuse, or a failed
command can make a stale sandbox look freshly used.
### Proposed Solution
- Cache the started `Sandbox` handle in process memory, keyed by a
non-secret composite lease scope.
- Enforce strict identity checks and eviction on release, destroy,
interactive cancel, and resume-sentinel mismatch.
- Block teardown cleanup until active lease operations finish so
delete/stop cannot race in-flight execute or sync work.
- Advance freshness only after successful execute, sync, or resume
reuse, so failed operations do not mask an auto-stopped sandbox.
- Preserve `getDurationMs` in exec metadata so provider-get latency
remains observable.
### Alternatives Considered
- Keep fetching the sandbox on every exec path.
- Cache only by bare lease id.
### Roadmap Alignment
- This change is part of the Daytona performance work and narrows
per-call overhead without changing the public adapter contract.
## What Changed
- Memoized the started Daytona `Sandbox` handle in a process-scoped
cache keyed by a composite lease scope.
- Added fail-closed identity checks so cache hits and single-flight
populate paths reject mismatched sandbox ids.
- Evicted cached handles on release, destroy, interactive cancel, and
resume sentinel mismatch.
- Blocked release, destroy, and interactive cancel teardown cleanup
until active lease operations drain.
- Advanced cache freshness only after successful execute, sync, and
resume reuse.
- Kept `getDurationMs` in exec metadata so provider-get latency remains
observable.
- Expanded the Daytona plugin tests to cover same-lease reuse,
cross-scope isolation, eviction paths, rejected populate handling,
concurrent single-flight behavior, cached-resume sentinel revalidation,
teardown cancellation safety, and failed-execute freshness handling.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts` in
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona` — 81/81 passing, including
the teardown-cancel, snapshot-capture, syncIn-cancel, and failed-execute
freshness regressions.
- `git rev-parse origin/perf/daytona-sandbox-handle-cache` matched the
authorized submit SHA `528158f998fa88bb0748300f156b38d86d6589cd` before
the fixup commits.
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/perf/daytona-sandbox-handle-cache` shows the
expected focused Daytona changes.
- GitHub duplicate/related PR search and ROADMAP review were completed
before opening the PR.
- Remote CI and Greptile completed successfully after this description
was updated; the PR is now ready for board handoff.
## Risks
- The cache is process-scoped, so correctness depends on the eviction
paths staying complete.
- A bug in the scope key or identity checks could leak reuse across the
wrong lease boundaries, but the implementation fails closed on id
mismatches.
- Teardown now waits for active operations to drain, so any missed
activity bookkeeping could delay cleanup instead of racing it.
- Freshness updates now happen after success, which is safer, but it
means any missed success-path call would trigger an extra refresh rather
than silently masking staleness.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter/runtime layer has to move files into sandboxes safely
and efficiently
> - The current sync-in path needs a provider-delegable seam so
providers can use their native upload transport when available
> - The upload contract also needs ordered post-upload commands so
extracted content can be finalized fail-fast after transfer
> - The fallback path still has to preserve current behavior when the
provider does not expose native sync verbs
> - This pull request adds the contract and runtime seam for
provider-delegable sync-in, plus the single-stream collapse flag
> - The benefit is fewer round trips, a cleaner provider-owned upload
path, and a compatible fallback for existing runners
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The underlying feature
request is described below in the repository's feature-request format.
### Problem or motivation
Paperclip needs a sync-in path that lets each provider choose the best
available upload transport instead of forcing the harness to orchestrate
uploads the same way every time. The runtime also needs a way to
describe ordered post-upload commands so providers can finalize
extracted content fail-fast after transfer.
### Proposed solution
Extend the sync contract with ordered post-upload commands, forward that
contract through the plugin and environment runtime layers, and make
client syncIn always available. When a provider advertises native sync
verbs, the client should delegate to that transport; otherwise it should
fall back to the existing tarball/write/extract behavior and then run
the post-upload commands in order.
### Alternatives considered
Keeping upload orchestration entirely host-side would avoid a contract
change, but it would block provider-specific transport optimizations and
keep the harness responsible for a path the provider can do more
efficiently. A separate post-upload API would add another surface
without improving the existing sync flow.
### Roadmap alignment
This work aligns with the broader runtime and adapter roadmap because it
improves provider integration without changing the external product
model. It is an additive contract change that preserves backward
compatibility for providers that do not expose native sync verbs.
### Additional context
The fallback path still needs to preserve existing observable behavior,
including command ordering, cwd confinement, and fail-fast execution.
The single-stream progress flag is part of the same transport
improvement so smaller writes can collapse to a single round trip when
the runner supports it.
## What Changed
- Added ordered `postUploadCommands` support to the sync operation
contract and SDK mirror.
- Plumbed the sync-in contract through the plugin and environment
runtime layers.
- Implemented a runtime client `syncIn` path that delegates to native
provider transport when available, otherwise uses the generic
tarball/write/extract fallback.
- Preserved fail-fast execution of ordered post-upload commands in the
fallback path.
- Flipped the sandbox runner's single-stream stdin progress flag to
collapse small `writeFile` operations to a single round trip.
- Added and updated tests for contract forwarding, fallback behavior,
cwd rejection, fail-fast behavior, and single-stream collapse.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run
protocol.postupload.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run
environment-sync-negotiation.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
command-managed-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
environment-execution-target.test.ts`
- Local typecheck and targeted suite runs reported in the handoff passed
before PR creation.
## Risks
- The new fallback path could diverge from the previous inline upload
behavior if the tarball/extract contract changes.
- Provider-native sync handling may expose provider-specific edge cases
if a runner advertises sync verbs but does not fully honor the contract.
- The single-stream flag changes transport behavior for small uploads,
so regressions would likely show up as round-trip or upload failures.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox-backed runs need more precise startup observability so
operators can see where time is spent before an adapter is invoked
> - Aggregate startup timing hides which boundary is actually slow,
especially in remote execution where the bottleneck can move between
host round-trips, provider-boundary latency, and handshake phases
> - This pull request keeps the existing startup timing channel additive
while attributing the latency to the specific startup steps that caused
it
> - The benefit is better diagnosis of sandbox startup regressions
without changing control flow or introducing a schema migration
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10204
This PR extends the existing sandbox run-startup timing observability
with per-step round-trip and provider-latency attribution for the
Daytona startup path. It keeps the event payload additive and free-form,
and it leaves the control flow, database schema, and external adapter
interfaces unchanged.
## What Changed
- Added per-step round-trip counting for the host-to-sandbox execute
seam
- Added provider-boundary duration accumulation for the Daytona execute
and re-fetch steps
- Split the ACP handshake timing into `createRuntimeMs` and
`ensureSessionMs` while preserving the warm-handle skip
- Kept the startup timing payload additive and did not add a schema
migration
## Verification
- `adapter-utils` acpx-engine and startup-timing suites: pass
- Daytona plugin suite: pass with mocked SDK and injected-clock duration
assertions
- `server` environment-execution-target suite: pass
- `tsc --noEmit` for adapter-utils and server: pass
- Git validation: fetched
`origin/feat/sandbox-start-step-timing-attribution`, confirmed it
matches the authorized submit SHA
`53c573266e618af05c57a0720aaa9d9e0452de61`, and confirmed the branch
contains only the expected commit on top of `origin/master`
- Searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs/issues; found one closely
related merged PR and no open duplicate on this branch
- Checked `ROADMAP.md`; the broad sandbox-agent roadmap section does not
call out this specific startup-timing attribution work as a duplicate
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is additive and only enriches existing timing
data
- Downstream consumers that assume aggregate-only startup timing may
need to tolerate the additional per-step fields
- The finer spawn/initialize/session split remains a follow-up in the
external ACP client because that hook is not available here yet

revisions, plugin contracts, tests, and skill documentation
> - The benefit is backward-compatible control over idle scheduled work
without losing activity-triggered follow-up
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #8534
## What Changed
- Added shared activity-gate policy and scope enums with create/PATCH
validation.
- Persisted activity-gate fields through routine creation, updates,
revision snapshots, pipeline snapshots, and revision restores.
- Defaulted legacy revision snapshots during restore and added
regression coverage for pre-field snapshots.
- Extended managed-plugin routine declarations, production
reconciliation, and the SDK test harness to preserve non-default gate
settings.
- Added end-to-end API coverage for create/PATCH/list/detail
round-trips, defaults, and invalid enum rejection.
- Documented schedule-only semantics, activity windows,
own-run/read-action exclusions, scopes, and an hourly quiet-night
watcher example.

## Risks
- Low risk: defaults remain `always` and `company`, preserving existing
routine behavior and old revision snapshots.
- Managed plugin manifests can now declare the same validated gate
settings as the public routine API; omitted values retain core defaults.
- Revision snapshots now include the new fields so policy changes are
not lost or treated as no-ops during restore.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Confinement providers protect agent runs with default-deny network
policies
> - Kubernetes environments currently apply only provider-level,
namespace-wide egress allowances
> - Tasks that legitimately need GitHub or package registries therefore
cannot request narrow access, while network failures do not explain the
governing policy or how to request a grant
> - This pull request adds issue-scoped egress grants that become
workload-owned, run-label-selected policies and carries the effective
grant through lease audit metadata
> - The benefit is that internet-dependent work can run without enabling
broad egress for every concurrent task, and denied requests point
operators to the exact grant path
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. Related but distinct: Refs #9944, which adds a
provider-wide open-internet posture; this PR keeps provider defaults
narrow and adds per-task grants.
**Problem / motivation**
Kubernetes sandbox egress is configured at the provider/tenant level. A
task that needs to clone from GitHub or install from PyPI cannot request
those destinations without changing the policy for every run in the
tenant namespace. DNS/connectivity failures also surface as generic tool
errors with no policy name or remediation path.
**Proposed solution**
Accept `executionWorkspaceSettings.networkEgress.allowFqdns` and
`allowCidrs`, forward the setting through heartbeat environment
acquisition, and create a workload-owned NetworkPolicy or
CiliumNetworkPolicy selected by `paperclip.io/run-id`. Record the
effective grant in lease activity/metadata, expose policy context
through `PAPERCLIP_NETWORK_EGRESS_*`, and append the grant path to
likely policy-related stderr failures.
**Alternatives considered**
A provider-wide open-internet switch is broader than required and is
already covered by #9944. Mutating the existing namespace policy would
leak each task's destinations to other concurrent runs. Standard
Kubernetes NetworkPolicy cannot enforce FQDNs exactly, so standard mode
uses the existing hardened public-IPv4 TCP 80/443 fallback only for the
selected run; Cilium mode remains exact.
**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the existing cloud/sandbox agent roadmap capability with
task-level control-plane policy and does not duplicate a planned roadmap
item.
## What Changed
- Added validated `networkEgress` grants to issue execution workspace
settings and forwarded them through environment lease acquisition.
- Added workload-owned, run-label-scoped
NetworkPolicy/CiliumNetworkPolicy resources for task FQDN/CIDR grants.
- Added lease audit metadata, sandbox policy environment variables, and
actionable network-denial stderr guidance.
- Added focused parser, manifest, policy creation, and denial-message
tests plus Kubernetes provider documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm -C packages/shared exec vitest run src/validators/issue.test.ts`
— 27 passed.
- `pnpm -C packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes test -- --run
test/unit/network-policy.test.ts test/unit/cilium-network-policy.test.ts
test/unit/scoped-network-egress.test.ts` — 21 passed.
- `pnpm -C server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts` — 15 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts` — 26 passed.
- `pnpm --dir packages/db build && pnpm --dir packages/shared build &&
pnpm --dir packages/plugins/sdk build` — passed, including migration
safety checks.
- `pnpm --dir packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes typecheck &&
pnpm --dir server typecheck` — passed after refreshing the worktree's
frozen offline dependencies.
- End-to-end cluster validation of the `build-cython-ext` benchmark
remains for CI/maintainer Kubernetes infrastructure; the focused tests
assert `github.com` and `pypi.org` produce a policy selected only by the
granted run.
## Risks
- Standard NetworkPolicy cannot express FQDNs, so an FQDN grant allows
hardened public IPv4 TCP 80/443 for that run; use Cilium mode for exact
hostname enforcement.
- The new field is additive and absent by default, so existing runs keep
the current provider-level policy.
- Workload owner references garbage-collect scoped policies with the
Job/Sandbox; a cluster/controller that ignores owner references could
temporarily strand a policy that still selects no future run ID.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agent execution through heartbeat runs and
adapter-specific sessions
> - Plugins can open an agent session and send a conversational message
through the host service
> - The host previously stored that message only in opaque wake payload
metadata, so local adapters never saw it in their CLI prompt
> - The host also forwarded run log chunks but did not expose the
persisted final assistant text as the session reply
> - This pull request defines both sides of the session contract in the
shared wake renderer and terminal run event
> - The benefit is that local adapters receive the actual conversational
turn and plugins receive one canonical final reply
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related context: Refs #629 and Refs #2880 describe adjacent
`claude_local` final-text visibility failures. They concern issue
comments rather than plugin agent sessions, but exercise the same need
for a canonical persisted run summary.
Companion consumer change: paperclipai/paperclip-gateway#3.
Bug description:
- **Observed:** calling the plugin host's
`agents.sessions.sendMessage()` with `prompt: "hello"` woke a
`claude_local` agent, but the generated CLI prompt omitted `hello`. On
completion, the session emitted log chunks and a generic `Run completed`
done event, so callers could not reliably recover the assistant reply.
- **Expected:** the prompt becomes the user-supplied conversational turn
for that agent session, and the successful terminal event carries the
run's canonical final user-facing assistant text.
- **Reproduction:** create a plugin agent session for a local adapter,
call `sendMessage()` with a non-empty prompt, inspect the adapter prompt
and terminal session event.
- **Affected baseline:** `b517b887a` on `master`, local trusted
deployment with plugin host services and `claude_local`; `codex_local`
shared the wake-rendering gap because both use the common Paperclip wake
prompt renderer.
## What Changed
- Added a typed `agentMessage` wake payload rendered by the shared
adapter prompt path used by `claude_local`, `codex_local`, and other
local adapters.
- Labeled session content as user-supplied and explicitly
non-authoritative: it cannot expand authorization, permissions, task
scope, or company boundaries.
- Preserved ordinary heartbeat behavior by omitting the section when no
agent-session message exists.
- Added canonical `finalText` to terminal heartbeat status events from
the already-persisted run summary/result/message.
- Defined successful `AgentSessionEvent.message` as the canonical final
user-facing reply (or `null`) and forwarded it on the terminal `done`
event.
- Added host, wake-renderer, normal-heartbeat, and terminal-reply
regression coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-agent-session-message.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-status-payload.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-agent-sessions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-summary.test.ts` — 87 passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed across all 31 workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 2,860 passed, 1 skipped, 3 unrelated failures: two
existing macOS temp-path alias assertions (`/tmp` vs `/private/tmp`) in
workspace branch-containment tests and one reproducible auto-port
runtime-service adoption failure. The same three failures reproduce when
the two files run alone; none touch this change.
- Live Slack verification intentionally remains operator-gated because
it requires rebuilding/restarting the host.
## Risks
- User-controlled chat text now reaches the model prompt, which is an
intentional prompt-injection surface. The renderer labels it as
untrusted conversational content, while the existing plugin/session
company checks and caller authorization remain unchanged.
- `finalText` is added to company-scoped heartbeat status events. It is
derived from the same persisted summary/result/message already used for
run comments; no raw stdout or secrets are added.
- Consumers that ignore the new field remain compatible, and successful
runs without usable final text still emit `message: null`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - First-party **plugins** run as isolated workers spawned by the host
`plugin-loader`, reading company-scoped config through a governed
`ctx.config.get(companyId)` channel.
> - The host→worker `configChanged` RPC carries `{ config, companyId }`,
but the SDK dispatch dropped the scope — `onConfigChanged(newConfig)`
was companyId-blind by design — so a **proactive** worker kept a single
worker-global config.
> - #10092 added a startup replay that fans out **every** stored
company's config through `configChanged`. With no deterministic
ordering, a plugin configured for more than one distinct company ends up
running as whichever DB row was delivered last.
> - That is a latent cross-tenant identity/secret confusion bug: one
company's bot token could be applied to another company's traffic.
> - This pull request threads `companyId` through `onConfigChanged` and
adds a fail-closed cross-tenant guard at the SDK layer, so a
single-tenant worker can never silently collapse to a second company's
config.
> - The benefit is that the config-delivery class is fixed at the SDK
boundary — before any genuinely multi-company proactive plugin ships —
without changing today's single-tenant behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue — describing in-PR (hardening / latent security):
**Latent cross-tenant config collapse.** The worker-side `configChanged`
dispatch forwarded only `config` and dropped `companyId`, so a proactive
plugin kept a single worker-global config. #10092's startup replay
delivers every configured company's config sequentially with no `ORDER
BY`, so a plugin with configs for more than one distinct company would
apply a nondeterministic last-write-wins global config (one tenant's
credential applied to another's traffic).
- Builds on and must merge after #10092.
- Not exploitable today: the only proactive consumer (the chat gateway)
has single-tenant config rows, so last-write-wins is a no-op. This is a
hardening pre-condition before any multi-company proactive plugin ships.
## What Changed
- **Thread scope through:** `onConfigChanged(newConfig, context)` with a
new exported `PluginConfigChangeContext { companyId }`. Backward
compatible — the second arg is optional; existing single-arg
implementations are unaffected.
- **Fail-closed cross-tenant guard** (`worker-rpc-host.ts`): a
single-tenant plugin that receives `configChanged` for a second,
distinct company with a *different* config is rejected with the new
`PLUGIN_RPC_ERROR_CODES.CROSS_TENANT_CONFIG` instead of silently
overwriting the applied tenant's config. Idempotent replays of the
*same* config under a different scope row remain allowed.
- **Opt-in `multiCompanyConfig: true`** on the plugin definition for
plugins that genuinely serve multiple companies from one worker (keying
per-company state on `context.companyId`); the guard is bypassed for
those.
- **Deterministic `ORDER BY companyId`** on `registry.listConfigs`, so
the startup replay binds a single-tenant worker to a stable company
across restarts.
- **Loader visibility:** a `CROSS_TENANT_CONFIG` rejection is logged at
`warn` (was best-effort `debug`) so the misconfiguration is surfaced.
- **Regression test**
(`packages/plugins/sdk/tests/worker-rpc-host.test.ts`): two distinct
companies delivered via the startup-replay path fail closed and stay
bound to the first company; an idempotent same-config replay under a
different scope row is allowed; a `multiCompanyConfig` plugin receives
per-company config with the correct `context.companyId`.
## Verification
- SDK `tsc --noEmit`: clean.
- SDK vitest `worker-rpc-host.test.ts`: 7/7 pass (incl. 3 new). The
two-distinct-company case **fails against pre-fix code** and passes
after the fix.
- #10092 embedded-postgres `plugin-config-startup-delivery.test.ts`: 3/3
pass (unaffected by the new `ORDER BY`).
- Full server `tsc --noEmit` against this SDK: clean.
## Risks
- **Low functional risk.** The second `onConfigChanged` arg is optional
and existing implementations are unchanged. Today's single-tenant
gateway keeps working — idempotent same-config replays are explicitly
allowed, so the go-live is preserved.
- **Behavioral shift on misconfig:** a genuinely multi-company plugin
that has NOT opted into `multiCompanyConfig` now fails closed
(`CROSS_TENANT_CONFIG`) rather than silently collapsing to one tenant.
This is the intended safer default; opt in with `multiCompanyConfig:
true` to serve multiple companies from one worker.
- **Not in scope (residual).** Per-company workers/connections for a
genuinely multi-company gateway increase resource use and are tracked
separately (ties into the #10092 fan-out/timeout follow-up). This PR
fixes the class and fails closed; it does not build multi-tenant
connection management.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - AI agents run in sandboxed execution environments (Kubernetes pods,
Daytona workspaces, etc.) and need to sync files between the host and
those environments — for workspace setup, asset delivery, and output
retrieval
> - The existing sync path for Kubernetes uses a base64-over-exec chunk
loop: each ~4 MB chunk requires its own `execInPod` round-trip, so large
syncs balloon into many exec calls with corresponding overhead
> - `execInPod` supports piped stdin/stdout, meaning the full transfer
can be done as a single exec that streams a raw `tar` archive over the
data channel — one round-trip regardless of file size, with nothing
base64-encoded and nothing buffered whole in memory on either side
> - PR-1 (#10013, merged) added the
`onEnvironmentSyncIn`/`onEnvironmentSyncOut` opt-in hook API to the
sandbox provider interface and documented the protocol; PR-2 (#10028,
merged) implemented these hooks for the Daytona provider
> - This pull request implements the same two lifecycle hooks in the
Kubernetes sandbox provider, so workspace/asset file sync streams
through one `execInPod` per operation instead of the chunk loop
> - The benefit is significantly fewer exec round-trips for large syncs
and flat memory use on both host and pod, with security properties
preserved: atomic replace, secret-mode enforcement, path confinement,
TOCTOU-safe snapshot, and member-confinement on host-assembled archives
from sandbox-authored tar output
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is the third and final PR in a sequential series:
- Refs #10013 — PR-1: opt-in sync hook API + provider docs (merged)
- Refs #10028 — PR-2: native file-sync lifecycle hooks for Daytona
provider (merged)
**Feature:** Native single-exec file-sync lifecycle hooks for the
Kubernetes sandbox provider.
*Motivation:* The existing Kubernetes sync path encodes files as base64
and loops over `execInPod` one chunk at a time (~4 MB per exec). For
large workspaces or asset sets this is slow and resource-intensive. The
Kubernetes `execInPod` API supports piped stdin/stdout, enabling a
raw-`tar` streaming transfer that needs only one exec regardless of file
count or size and never buffers the whole payload in memory.
*Proposed solution:* Implement `onEnvironmentSyncIn` and
`onEnvironmentSyncOut` in the Kubernetes provider using a streaming
`execInPod` with a tar pipeline — for syncIn the host builds the archive
on disk and streams its raw bytes into the pod's stdin (`head -c
<exact-size> | tar -x`, no base64); for syncOut in-pod `tar` writes to
the exec's stdout and the host streams those bytes straight to a file.
Path confinement, atomic replace, secret-mode enforcement, TOCTOU
protection, and a streamed-bytes fail-closed guard are all enforced.
## What Changed
- **New `src/file-sync.ts`** in
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes/` — `performSyncIn` and
`performSyncOut` over an injected pod-exec closure, keeping transfer
logic hermetically unit-testable
- **New `execInPodStreaming` in `src/pod-exec.ts`** — a streaming exec
primitive that binds a caller-supplied stdin readable and a stdout
writable to the exec WebSocket data channel, added alongside the
existing `execInPod` (which is unchanged). This lets a transfer stream
raw bytes to/from disk instead of buffering the payload as a single
string
- **Updated `src/plugin.ts`** — registers
`onEnvironmentSyncIn`/`onEnvironmentSyncOut`; resolves the `sandbox-cr`
pod exactly like `onEnvironmentExecute` and delegates; `job` backend
rejects file-sync calls explicitly (out of scope)
- **syncIn path:** host builds the tarball to a temp file → streams its
raw bytes over exec stdin, bounded in-pod by `head -c
<exact-archive-size> | tar -x` (no base64 anywhere) → extract into a
`/proc/self/fd`-pinned reserved `0700` staging dir → `chmod`-before-`mv
-f` atomic replace per file (directory mappings use
`followSymlinks`→`-h`)
- **syncOut path:** in-pod validate + realpath-snapshot each source
(closes the validation→copy TOCTOU window) → single-exec `tar -c`
streamed over exec stdout → host streams that stdout straight to a temp
file through a byte-counting transform → member-confined extraction of
the sandbox-authored archive
- **Security properties:** secret files land at requested mode with no
widened window; every interpolated path is shell-quoted and confined
lexically plus via in-pod `realpath`; the outbound stream is bounded by
a **streamed-bytes disk guard** (`MAX_SYNC_OUTPUT_BYTES`, 8 GiB default,
per-call overridable) that fails the transfer closed — writing no target
file — if an untrusted pod emits more bytes than allowed. Neither host
nor pod buffers the whole payload, so there is no in-memory size cap on
the transfer
- **No changes** to `execInPod`, `wrapCommandWithEnv`, or
`FastUploadInterceptor` (the `environmentExecute` path is untouched)
- **No dependency or lockfile changes**
- **New tests** in `test/unit/file-sync.test.ts` (atomic-replace, `0600`
secret mode, symlink preserve/deref, dir-mapping, exclude,
path-confinement rejection, streamed-output guard fail-closed) and
`test/unit/pod-exec.test.ts` (streaming stdin/stdout, caller-sink error
fail-closed), plus extended `test/unit/plugin.test.ts`
## Follow-up: Legacy Job-Lease Base64 Fallback Fix
Addresses the Greptile 4/5 blocking finding ("Handle existing job
leases", `server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts`).
Job leases provisioned before the `nativeFileSyncUnsupported` metadata
flag existed carry `backend: "job"` but no flag, so `supportsSync()`
treated them as native-capable and routed their sync to the pod-exec
hook — which the job backend rejects (it has no exec channel) instead of
using the byte-identical base64 fallback. The fix adds a
belt-and-suspenders gate on the persisted `backend === "job"` field
alongside the existing `nativeFileSyncUnsupported` flag check, so
pre-existing job leases continue syncing via the base64 fallback after
deployment. No behaviour change for `sandbox-cr` leases.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/sandbox-provider-kubernetes test` — 19
files / 182 tests green, including the existing `upload-interceptor` and
`pod-exec` suites
- `tsc --noEmit` in the kubernetes package — 0 errors
- The sync hooks are opt-in; existing `environmentExecute` behaviour is
unaffected and tested by the unchanged existing suites
## Risks
- **Opt-in only:** `onEnvironmentSyncIn`/`onEnvironmentSyncOut` are
registered conditionally; providers that do not register them fall back
to the existing chunk loop. No regression risk on the existing path.
- **Shell-injection surface:** all path interpolation uses
shell-quoting; paths are additionally confined lexically and via in-pod
`realpath` before use.
- **TOCTOU on syncOut:** the in-pod snapshot validates and records file
metadata before the tar call, closing the window between validation and
copy.
- **Archive member confinement:** host-side reassembly rejects any tar
member whose resolved path escapes the target directory, preventing a
malicious in-pod tar from writing outside the intended destination.
- **Untrusted-output volume:** an over-large outbound stream trips the
streamed-bytes disk guard and fails closed (no target written and the
temp sink is swept) rather than filling host disk or memory; the guard
bounds disk unconditionally and bounds memory insofar as WebSocket
write-backpressure holds.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is an open-source AI-agent management platform; agents run
tasks inside sandboxed environments (Daytona, Kubernetes, E2B, etc.)
> - The control-plane ↔ sandbox file-transfer path flows through the
`environmentExecute` seam in `protocol.ts` — the only verb available to
plugins — which forces a base64-over-exec chunked loop for every file
move: workspace files, assets, Codex home sync
> - This transport is correct and safe, but it bypasses provider-native
bulk/streaming APIs (Daytona `uploadFiles`, K8s `FastUploadInterceptor`
/ volume mounts), leaving significant throughput on the table for large
workspaces
> - The right fix is an opt-in seam extension: providers with faster
native transfer declare two optional verbs; providers that do not opt in
stay on the existing fallback with zero code or behavior change required
> - This PR adds the first layer of that extension — two optional verbs
(`environmentSyncIn` / `environmentSyncOut`) in the plugin SDK, the
runtime plumbing to prefer the native path for the two clean
destroy-then-replace cases, and a doc for the contract
> - The core correctness invariant is byte-identical fallback: if no
provider opts in, execution is exactly what ships today;
`assertSyncOperationsConfined` enforces host-side path confinement for
providers that do opt in
> - No provider advertises the verbs yet → zero production behavior
change; future PRs wire up Daytona and K8s providers against this
contract
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this feature. Description follows the
`feature_request` issue template:
**Subsystem affected:**
packages/plugins — plugin system; packages/adapter-utils — adapter
runtime; server/ — EnvironmentRuntimeService
**Problem or motivation:**
Sandbox file transfers currently always use a base64-over-exec chunked
loop regardless of what the underlying provider supports. For workspaces
larger than a few MB this becomes the dominant wall-clock cost of every
sandbox run, and it bypasses bulk/stream APIs that providers like
Daytona already expose natively.
**Proposed solution:**
Add two optional, opt-in plugin hooks — `onEnvironmentSyncIn` /
`onEnvironmentSyncOut` — to the plugin SDK. When a provider defines both
hooks and both are advertised via the existing `supportedMethods`
negotiation, the runtime prefers the native path for the two clean
destroy-then-replace transfer cases; all other cases fall back to the
existing byte-identical base64 transport.
**Alternatives considered:**
An unconditional verb would require every provider to implement or stub
the verb. The opt-in / `METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED` pattern (already used by
`environmentExecute`) preserves backward compatibility with zero
provider changes required.
**Roadmap alignment:**
Consistent with the ✅ "Cloud / Sandbox agents" and ✅ "Plugin system"
milestones; extends the plugin seam rather than adding
control-plane-level logic.
**Additional context:**
Searched open pull requests and issues for duplicate sandbox file-sync /
native-transfer work; none found.
## What Changed
- **`packages/plugins/sdk`**
- `protocol.ts`: two new optional `HostToWorkerMethods` —
`environmentSyncIn` / `environmentSyncOut` — plus generic
`SyncOperation`, `SyncFileMapping`, and `SyncOutcome` types
- `define-plugin.ts`: optional `onEnvironmentSyncIn` /
`onEnvironmentSyncOut` fields on `PluginDefinition`; worker advertises
each verb only when its hook is defined (else `METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED`,
mirroring `environmentExecute`)
- `worker-rpc-host.ts`: route new verbs to plugin hooks
- `index.ts`: re-export new public types
- **`packages/adapter-utils`**
- `command-managed-runtime.ts`: expose optional `syncIn` / `syncOut` on
`CommandManagedRuntimeRunner` (available only when both verbs are
advertised); add `assertSyncOperationsConfined` host-side
path-confinement guard
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.ts`: `SandboxManagedRuntimeClient` gains
optional `syncIn` / `syncOut`; orchestrator prefers native path for
default-provision asset inbound and workspace-download-into-fresh-dir
outbound; all other paths keep the existing base64 fallback
- `sandbox-file-sync.test.ts` (new): 234-line characterization suite —
native-opt-in branch, fallback branch, `assertSyncOperationsConfined`
escape-path rejection, `followSymlinks` → tar `-h`
- `command-managed-runtime.test.ts`: negotiation + native-sync +
confinement tests
- **`server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts`**:
`EnvironmentRuntimeService` delegates to `syncIn` / `syncOut`, gated on
advertised support
- **`server/src/services/environment-execution-target.ts`**: minor
typing fix alongside the new verbs
- **`doc/plugins/SANDBOX_FILE_SYNC_HOOKS.md`** (new): documents the full
contract — opt-in / no-op guarantee, operation ordering,
provider-may-tar, atomicity, `followSymlinks`, secret modes (0600, no
window), path confinement, `operationId` opacity, resource bounds,
shell-quoting
## Verification
```bash
# SDK suite
pnpm --filter packages/plugins/sdk test
# Adapter-utils suite (includes new sandbox-file-sync characterization tests)
pnpm --filter packages/adapter-utils test
# Expected: 255 pass / 4 skip
# Type-check across affected packages
pnpm --filter packages/plugins/sdk typecheck
pnpm --filter packages/adapter-utils typecheck
# Server changed-file spot check:
cd server && npx tsc --noEmit --skipLibCheck 2>&1 | grep -E "environment-(runtime|execution-target)" | head -20
```
Key behavioral invariant to spot-check: with no provider opting in (the
current state), run any sandbox task and confirm file-transfer behavior
is byte-for-byte identical to what the pre-PR code produces. The
characterization tests assert this at the unit level.
## Risks
- **Zero production risk today**: no provider advertises
`environmentSyncIn` / `environmentSyncOut`, so the new code paths are
unreachable in production; all real traffic stays on the existing base64
fallback
- **Path confinement**: `assertSyncOperationsConfined` rejects any
`targetPath` that escapes the declared root — this is the primary
security boundary for future providers. The test suite covers
escape-path rejection
- **Atomicity**: the contract delegates atomicity to providers; the doc
explicitly calls out that directory-level ops are not guaranteed atomic
- **Secret transport**: credential assets (e.g., Codex `auth.json`,
directory mappings) continue to use the existing tar path — they do not
go through the new verbs in any current provider

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Governed MCP access spans contracts, runtime enforcement, adapters,
UI surfaces, and operator verification
> - The parity reference PR #9534 is too large for effective automated
or human review
> - The feature therefore needs a linear stack whose individual diffs
stay below the 100-file review limit
> - This pull request is split 2/8 and focuses on database schema and
shared governance contracts
> - The benefit is a standalone, testable review boundary while
preserving byte-for-byte parity at the top of the stack
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Related parity reference: #9534
- Problem: The governed access model needs additive persistence and
synchronized shared types before server enforcement can compile.
- Proposed solution: Adds migrations 0148–0169, tool-access and Smoke
Lab schema, shared types/validators/gallery helpers, and the minimal
compile-required contract consumers identified by boundary testing.
- Alternatives considered: keeping #9534 as one 403-file review, or
rewriting the feature to manufacture seams; both were rejected in favor
of path extraction plus compile-driven boundary moves.
- Roadmap alignment: this advances the existing governed MCP/tool-access
work already represented by #9534; it does not introduce a separate
roadmap initiative.
- Stack position: base branch is `pap10341-split/01-demo-servers`.
- Merge policy: merge bottom-up, in order, only after the complete
eight-PR stack has been reviewed and the top-of-stack parity gate
remains empty.
- Requested review: QA for migrations/validators; Greptile on every PR.
## What Changed
- Adds migrations 0148–0169, tool-access and Smoke Lab schema, shared
types/validators/gallery helpers, and the minimal compile-required
contract consumers identified by boundary testing.
- Keeps this PR below 100 changed files and independently typecheckable.
- Preserves the final tree from #9534 when combined with the other seven
stack levels.
## Verification
- `pnpm typecheck` — passed, including migration numbering and safety
checks
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db test` — passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared test` — passed
## Risks
- Migration or contract mistakes could affect every upper layer; all
migrations are additive/idempotent and compile consumers are included in
this boundary.
- Stack risk: merging out of order can expose incomplete layers;
mitigate by following the documented bottom-up merge policy.
- Parity risk: later edits to an intermediate branch can drift from
#9534; mitigate by re-running the empty top-of-stack diff before merge.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters (Claude, Codex, Gemini) default to the ACP engine
lane, which needs a live bidirectional stdio session with the agent
process
> - Sandbox execution targets only exposed one-shot command execution,
so every ACP-capable adapter refused remote targets and fell back to the
CLI lane with a "supports only the local Paperclip host" warning
> - Running agents in sandboxes is a core deployment mode, and losing
ACP there means losing streaming updates, structured events, and
default-lane parity with local runs
> - This pull request adds a provider-agnostic process-session bridge
that relays the ACP stdio session into the sandbox over the existing
sandbox runner contract, and updates the adapters to use it
> - The benefit is that the default ACP lane now behaves the same on the
local host and in any sandbox provider, with CLI fallback reserved for
targets that genuinely cannot host a bidirectional session
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public issue covers this; inline description following the
feature request template:
**Problem or motivation**
Configuring an ACP-capable adapter (e.g. Claude) with a sandbox
environment made every run fall back to the CLI lane with the warning
"Claude ACP currently supports only the local Paperclip host, but this
run targets a remote environment." The ACP engine only knew how to spawn
a local subprocess, while sandbox providers only expose one-shot command
execution — so there was no way to hold the bidirectional stdio session
ACP requires.
**Proposed solution**
Add a process-session bridge in `adapter-utils`: a local ACPX-spawnable
proxy script connects to a token-authenticated loopback TCP server,
which relays JSON-framed stdin/stdout/stderr events to and from a small
relay script executed inside the sandbox via the provider's ordinary
runner. Claude/Codex/Gemini adapters now treat sandbox targets with a
runner as ACP-capable, resolve agent commands against the remote target,
and fall back to CLI only when the sandbox exposes no bidirectional
path. The sandbox callback bridge injects a run-scoped API endpoint and
bridge token so the agent inside the sandbox can reach Paperclip
(including work-product handoffs) without ever receiving the host run
JWT.
**Alternatives considered**
A provider-specific lane was prototyped first: Daytona minting SSH
access metadata at lease time, converted into an SSH execution target.
It was dropped because it only worked for providers able to advertise
SSH, added per-provider surface area, and left every other sandbox
provider on the CLI fallback. The merged design rides the one-shot
runner contract all providers already implement; a regression test pins
that sandbox targets stay on the bridge lane even when lease metadata
advertises SSH access.
**Roadmap alignment**
Directly advances the "Cloud / Sandbox agents" roadmap item — agents
running in remote and sandboxed environments keep the same control-plane
behavior as local ones. No overlap with other planned core work.
## What Changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target.ts`: new
`startAdapterExecutionTargetProcessSessionBridge()` plus helpers —
writes a token-authenticated local proxy script (spawnable by ACPX) and
a remote relay script synced into the sandbox, with a loopback TCP
server streaming JSON-framed stdio between them; events emitted before
the ACP client attaches are buffered so none are lost.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`: the ACP engine
can execute against remote sandbox targets through the bridge instead of
requiring a local subprocess, including remote cwd/env shaping.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.ts`:
sandbox-scoped API bridging extended to allow work-product handoffs; the
sandbox payload env carries a bridge token, never the host run JWT.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local`, `codex-local`, `gemini-local`
(`src/server/acp.ts`): default-lane selection no longer rejects all
remote targets; command resolution is remote-aware
(`ensureAdapterExecutionTargetCommandResolvable`,
`resolveAdapterExecutionTargetCwd`); the fallback reason is now scoped
to sandboxes that expose only one-shot execution.
- `server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`: pins that
sandbox targets resolve to the bridge lane, including when lease
metadata advertises SSH access.
- Non-sandbox remote targets (e.g. SSH) keep the CLI lane: the ACP
engine's remote transport is sandbox-only, so default-lane selection
falls back for those targets across all three adapters, and tests
covering CLI-specific remote behavior pin `engine: "cli"` explicitly.
- The bridge authenticates loopback connections before they can own the
session or receive buffered output (token required, idle unauthenticated
peers dropped), and remote event writes are serialized so the exit event
always lands after stdout/stderr have drained.
- Daytona plugin: formatting-only residue from the earlier iteration; no
functional change.
## Verification
- `vitest run` over the touched suites —
`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts`, the three
adapter `acp.test.ts` files, and
`server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts` — 102 tests
pass.
- End to end: with a Claude agent configured on a Daytona sandbox
environment, the primary-model test now selects the default ACP lane (no
fallback warning), and the full round trip (wake → sandbox execution →
API bridge → comment post) was exercised twice from inside a live
sandbox.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: adapters that previously always fell back to CLI on
sandbox targets now default to ACP there; `engine=cli` still pins the
CLI lane explicitly.
- The bridge relays stdio as JSON lines over loopback TCP guarded by a
per-session random token; the remote relay runs inside the sandbox under
the provider's runner. Providers with slow one-shot execution will see
higher session startup latency — the CLI fallback remains for genuinely
incapable targets.
- No schema or migration changes.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) — extended thinking
enabled, agentic tool use via the Claude Agent SDK harness;
implementation iterated with local Vitest verification.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox environments can capture reusable custom images (provider
snapshots) so agents boot with pre-installed tools and CLI logins
> - The custom-image runtime fingerprint check included provider
secret-ref paths (e.g. the Daytona `apiKey`), while capture-time
fingerprinting excluded them, so any config carrying a credential never
matched its captured snapshot
> - As a result, agent config tests and environment probes silently
booted the provider base image instead of the snapshot, test sandboxes
were deleted before operators could inspect them, and any environment
save orphaned the snapshot without warning
> - The UI compounded the confusion by displaying an internal template
id that matches nothing in the provider dashboard
> - This pull request aligns runtime fingerprints with capture-time
exclusions, re-stamps fingerprints on saves that cannot affect the
snapshot (warning when they can), archives test/probe sandboxes instead
of deleting them, and surfaces the provider snapshot ref in the UI
> - The benefit is that custom images actually apply to config tests and
probes, survive unrelated config edits, and are debuggable against the
provider dashboard
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this; describing it in-PR per the bug
template. Related: Refs #9329 (saved-environment probe company context —
this branch carries an equivalent fix), Refs #8794 (introduced reusable
sandbox custom images).
**What happened?**
With a Daytona environment whose provider config stores the API key as a
secret reference and an active captured custom-image snapshot:
- Agent config tests and environment probes booted the provider base
image (`daytonaio/sandbox:0.8.0`) instead of the captured snapshot, so
CLI upgrades/logins baked into the snapshot were missing and the probe
reported "login required" and an outdated CLI.
- The environment card showed an internal template id (e.g.
`b5be03e1-ca5…`) that does not correspond to any snapshot name in the
provider dashboard, making the active image impossible to correlate.
- Test/probe sandboxes were deleted immediately after the run, so the
sandbox a test used could not be inspected afterwards.
- Saving the environment config (even fields unrelated to the image)
changed the stored fingerprint, silently detaching the snapshot with no
warning.
**Expected behavior**
Config tests and probes boot the captured snapshot when one is active;
the UI shows the provider-facing snapshot/template ref; test sandboxes
stay inspectable for a short window; unrelated config edits keep the
snapshot linked, and edits that genuinely invalidate it produce an
explicit warning.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a sandbox environment on Daytona with the API key stored as
a company secret reference.
2. Capture a custom image snapshot from the environment page and mark it
active (e.g. after installing/logging into a CLI in the setup sandbox).
3. Run the agent config test or an environment probe: the sandbox boots
the base image, not the snapshot, and the sandbox is deleted immediately
after the test.
4. Save the environment config with an unrelated field change: the
snapshot silently stops applying.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at the merge-base of this branch.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted local instance (macOS, pnpm dev server) with the Daytona
sandbox provider plugin.
## What Changed
- Runtime custom-image fingerprint checks now exclude provider
secret-ref paths, matching capture-time exclusions, so configs carrying
credentials match their captured snapshots
(`environment-custom-image-runtime.ts`).
- Agent config tests and saved-environment probes force fresh,
non-reused sandboxes and pass company context so lease-backed probes can
resolve company secrets and boot the real snapshot
(`environment-probe.ts`, `routes/agents.ts`, `routes/environments.ts`).
- Test/probe sandboxes are released by archiving (stop + 60-minute
provider-side auto-delete) instead of immediate deletion, so operators
can inspect the exact sandbox a test used (Daytona plugin).
- On environment PATCH save, changes that cannot affect the captured
snapshot re-stamp the template's source fingerprint so the snapshot
stays linked; boot-source or provider-identity changes (new manifest
field `templateIdentityPaths`) mark the template detached and the save
response reports it (`environment-custom-images.ts`, shared plugin
types/validators).
- The custom-image overview exposes `activeTemplateMatchesConfig`; the
environments UI shows the provider snapshot/template ref (internal id
moved to a tooltip), warns via toast when a save detaches the snapshot,
and shows a persistent "Not in use" warning when the active template no
longer matches the saved config (`CompanyEnvironments.tsx`,
`api/environments.ts`).
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-custom-images-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-probe.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agent-test-environment-routes.test.ts` — server
coverage for fingerprint exclusions, re-stamp/detach on save, probe
company context, and fresh-sandbox test behavior.
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts` —
archive-on-release and snapshot ref handling.
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` — snapshot
ref display, detach toast, and "Not in use" warning.
- Manually verified end-to-end on a live self-hosted instance against
real Daytona: config test boots the captured snapshot (CLI login and
version persist), the test sandbox remains visible in the provider
dashboard as archived, and saving unrelated fields keeps the snapshot
applied.
## Risks
- Fingerprint exclusion widening: a provider credential rotation alone
no longer detaches a captured snapshot; that is the intended behavior
(the snapshot content does not depend on the credential), and
provider-identity fields (e.g. Daytona `apiUrl`) still detach via
`templateIdentityPaths`.
- Archived test sandboxes consume provider-side resources for up to
their auto-delete window instead of being freed immediately; bounded (60
minutes) and only for test/probe sandboxes.
- New optional manifest field `templateIdentityPaths` is
backward-compatible; providers that omit it keep current matching
behavior.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking, agentic tool use
via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue found for this maintenance item.
### Pre-submission checklist
- [x] I have searched existing open and closed issues and this is not a
duplicate.
- [x] I am working against `master`.
- [x] I have confirmed the issue originates in Paperclip's shipped skill
metadata, not in a local agent adapter or provider.
### What happened?
Codex startup renders discovered skill names and frontmatter
descriptions into a fixed skill metadata budget. Several repository
skill descriptions and one shipped catalog description had grown into
long-form operational guidance, which can force Codex to truncate
descriptions before the model has enough trigger signal to select the
right skill.
### Expected behavior
Skill frontmatter descriptions should stay short trigger summaries: one
capability sentence plus a “use when” clause. Detailed procedures should
stay in the skill body and load only after the skill triggers.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Inspect `.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md` and
`packages/skills-catalog/catalog/**/SKILL.md` frontmatter descriptions.
2. Measure folded YAML `description` values.
3. Observe descriptions above the intended short-trigger range,
including descriptions above 300 characters.
4. Run the new shipped catalog test to verify future descriptions stay
capped.
### Paperclip version or commit
Reproduced on `master` at `cc81eefb6047d8eaf57faf785f421c03dc97073c`.
### Deployment mode
Local dev / source checkout metadata inspection. This is not
database-related.
### Installation method
Built from source.
### Agent adapter(s) involved
Codex, because Codex startup uses the skill metadata prompt budget. The
metadata source itself is core repository/catalog content.
### Database mode
Not database-related.
### Access context
Not applicable; this is static repository metadata.
### Node.js version
`v22.22.2` in the verification environment.
### Operating system
Linux container environment.
### Relevant logs or output
Final measurement after this PR: 29 source `SKILL.md` files, max
description length 215 chars, 5,449 total description chars, estimated
1,363 description tokens at 4 chars/token.
### Relevant config
None.
### Additional context
The shipped catalog manifest was regenerated so the generated package
metadata matches the edited catalog `SKILL.md` sources.
### Privacy checklist
- [x] I have reviewed all pasted output for PII and redacted where
necessary.
## What Changed
- Shortened long `.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md` frontmatter descriptions to
concise capability plus use-when trigger clauses.
- Shortened the over-budget shipped skills catalog descriptions for
wireframe, Paperclip capsules, and reflection coach.
- Regenerated `packages/skills-catalog/generated/catalog.json` so
shipped metadata matches source skill frontmatter.
- Added a Vitest regression guard that caps repo skill source
descriptions and generated catalog descriptions at 300 characters.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog build:manifest`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog test` — 5 files passed, 19
tests passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog typecheck`
- Final measurement: 29 source `SKILL.md` files, max description length
215 chars, 5,449 total description chars, estimated 1,363 description
tokens at 4 chars/token.
Note: the clean PR worktree was created from `origin/master` and
contains only this commit, but it does not have `node_modules`; running
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog test` there failed at
tool/package resolution (`vitest`, `tsc`, `@paperclipai/shared`). The
dependency-equipped workspace passed the commands above before the
commit was cherry-picked onto the clean branch.
## Risks
Low risk. This changes skill metadata and tests only. The main risk is
over-trimming a useful trigger phrase, mitigated by keeping explicit
“use when” clauses and leaving detailed guidance in the skill bodies.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Daytona sandbox provider executes agent commands inside
ephemeral Daytona workspaces via `executeCommand`
> - Git operations inside these workspaces can block indefinitely when
remotes are unreachable or when git prompts for credentials
interactively (e.g. via askpass or terminal prompts)

which surfaces as a hard timeout crash on the Paperclip side rather than
an actionable error
> - This PR adds noninteractive credential defaults and a 120s cap on
detected Git network subcommands so stalled operations fail fast with a
useful message

pointing at missing credentials or unreachable remotes instead of an
opaque 900s RPC crash
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
<!-- No public GitHub issue exists for this internal infrastructure fix.
Describing the issue inline. -->
**Bug: Daytona sandbox Git network commands stall for up to 900
seconds**
**What happened?**
`executeCommand` hangs for the full 900 s adapter RPC ceiling when a
Daytona workspace git network command (push/fetch/pull/clone) prompts
for credentials interactively or the remote is unreachable. The command
blocks silently for up to 900 s then crashes with a generic timeout
error that names no actionable root cause.
**Steps to reproduce**
Run any agent handoff that includes a `git push`, `git fetch`, or `git
pull` to a remote inside a Daytona workspace where the remote is
unreachable or credentials are missing.
**Expected behavior**
Command fails fast (within ~120 s) with an actionable error naming the
unreachable remote or the missing noninteractive credential.
**Deployment mode**
Daytona sandbox provider (`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona`).
Root cause: Daytona one-shot execution wrappers did not set
`GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`, `GCM_INTERACTIVE=Never`, or disabled askpass
helpers, so git blocked waiting for interactive terminal input; no
per-operation timeout existed for network-bound git subcommands.
## What Changed
- Added `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`, `GCM_INTERACTIVE=Never`,
`GIT_ASKPASS=echo`, `SSH_ASKPASS=echo`, `SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=force` to
all Daytona one-shot execution wrapper invocations so git never blocks
waiting for a credential prompt; callers may override via the `env`
parameter
- Detects Git network subcommands (`push`, `fetch`, `pull`, `ls-remote`,
`clone`, `remote update`, `submodule update`) and caps their timeout at
120 s instead of the full 900 s adapter RPC ceiling
- Returns an actionable timeout message that names the unreachable
remote or the missing noninteractive credential rather than propagating
the raw SDK error
- Adds two new Vitest tests: one verifying noninteractive credential
defaults are injected, one verifying the 120 s network cap and the
improved timeout message
## Verification
- `corepack pnpm exec vitest run
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts --config
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/vitest.config.ts` — 40 tests
pass
- `corepack pnpm exec tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` from
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona` — clean
- `corepack pnpm check:no-git-push` — clean
> **Known CI note:** The standalone provider package is intentionally
excluded from the root workspace. Direct `corepack pnpm test` from the
provider directory fails before running tests due to Vitest
tsconfig-root resolution in a grafted checkout. The root-config Vitest
invocation above is the passing test signal.
## Risks
- **Low overall risk.** The new `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` / askpass
defaults only affect Daytona one-shot execution; they do not touch any
shared git config or host environment.
- Callers that previously relied on interactive credential prompts
inside Daytona (an unlikely pattern for agent workspaces) will now fail
fast instead of prompting — this is the intended behavior.
- The 120 s network timeout applies only when the command string starts
with a recognized git network subcommand, so non-network git operations
and all non-git commands are unaffected.
- No PII, telemetry schema, crypto, auth flow, or new external endpoint
changes.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`) — extended thinking mode, tool
use, code execution. Anthropic Claude running via Paperclip Claude Code
adapter.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter packages are the bridge between the control plane and local
agent harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.
> - ACP support was concentrated in a separate `acpx_local` adapter,
which made ACP feel like a separate agent choice instead of an execution
capability of the harness adapters.
> - Claude, Codex, and Gemini now have ACP-capable harnesses, so the
native adapter should own ACP selection, fallback, config, transcript
parsing, and environment diagnostics.
> - The standalone ACPX adapter still needs a compatibility path for
existing rows, but it should not be offered as an active adapter for new
agents.
> - This pull request moves the shared ACP runtime into
`@paperclipai/acpx-engine`, wires Claude/Codex/Gemini local adapters to
prefer ACP when prerequisites are available, and retires `acpx_local` to
a tombstone.
> - The benefit is one adapter per harness, richer ACP transcripts by
default where possible, and a migration path for existing Claude/Codex
ACPX agents.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Closes#5932 — the broken default `acpx_local` Claude path is replaced
by native `claude_local` ACP support, existing Claude/Codex ACPX rows
migrate to native adapters, and new agents no longer choose the
standalone ACPX adapter.
Refs #4893 — original merged ACPX local adapter runtime that this PR
replaces with native per-harness ACP engines.
Refs #6590 — prior ACPX-Claude seamlessness work folded into the new
native Claude ACP path.
Refs #197 — related open generic ACP/Kiro adapter work; this PR does not
close it because Kiro/custom generic ACP remains a separate adapter
decision.
Refs #7018 — related Kimi-specific `acpx_local` shell failure; this PR
retires the built-in standalone adapter but does not add a native Kimi
adapter.
Refs #8864 — related ACPX prompt/API guidance PR; this PR moves runtime
guidance into the shared/native ACP engine path instead of the old
standalone adapter.
Refs #8881 — related `acpx_local` POSIX shell failure from the old
`acpx` pin; this PR updates ACP dependencies but does not claim
custom/OMP ACP support as a first-class native adapter.
Refs #8964 — related open `acpx_local` stderr cleanup PR; this PR makes
the old runtime path obsolete for new agents but keeps it as a
non-closing reference.
Problem description:
- The standalone `acpx_local` adapter duplicates Claude/Codex agent
choices that already have first-class local adapters.
- ACP should be an execution engine capability of each harness adapter
when the underlying harness supports ACP.
- Existing `acpx_local` agents should either migrate to native harness
adapters or fail with an explicit retirement message instead of silently
falling back to the process adapter.
## What Changed
- Added `@paperclipai/acpx-engine` as the shared ACP execution,
session-codec, CLI formatter, and UI parser package.
- Wired `claude_local`, `codex_local`, and `gemini_local` to auto-select
ACP by default when prerequisites pass, with `engine=cli` opt-out and
`engine=acp` strict mode.
- Added ACP config schema/UI fields, environment checks, session-codec
preservation, transcript parsing, and adapter capability metadata for
the native adapters.
- Retired `acpx_local` to a server tombstone, removed its
UI/package/runtime image surface, and added a migration for existing
Claude/Codex ACPX agents.
- Updated package manifests, lockfile, release tooling, docs, Kubernetes
sandbox defaults, and tests.
## Verification

- `node --test scripts/bootstrap-npm-package.test.mjs

scripts/verify-release-registry-state.test.mjs`
Note: the server typecheck script calls `pnpm` internally; this dev
shell exposes pnpm through Corepack only, so I ran the two script steps
manually with `corepack pnpm`.
## Risks
- Migration changes existing `acpx_local` Claude/Codex agents to native
adapter types and clears old ACPX task sessions/runtime state.
- Custom ACP commands remain on the retired tombstone and will need a
separate future adapter/plugin path.
- ACP auto-selection depends on local Node and ACP server command
prerequisites; remote and unsupported environments fall back to CLI
unless `engine=acp` is explicit.
- `@paperclipai/acpx-engine` is a new public package and needs npm
trusted-publishing bootstrap before release automation can publish it.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs often need provider credentials, API tokens, and other
environment-bound secrets.
> - Company-level secrets work for shared credentials, but they do not
model values that should differ by human operator.
> - Without a user-scoped model, a run can dispatch without knowing
whether the responsible human has supplied the needed value.
> - Paperclip also needs run attribution to make those user-scoped
runtime checks deterministic and auditable.
> - This pull request adds user-specific secret definitions, per-user
values, environment bindings, responsible-user attribution, and runtime
resolution gates.
> - The benefit is that teams can define the secret once, let each user
provide their own value, and block runs before dispatch when required
user secrets or active definitions are unavailable.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #224
Refs #6057
This PR implements user-specific secret support as a core
secret-management capability rather than a one-off adapter setting. It
is related to existing public work on company secrets UI and runtime
secret refs, but is distinct because the value is owned by the
responsible user and resolved at run dispatch time.
Related PR search before opening found existing secrets work such as
#1550, #8256, #8614, #8634, and #8647; none of those add the full
user-secret definition/value/runtime gate covered here.
## What Changed
- Added user-secret definitions and per-user "My secrets" values,
keeping stored values out of access metadata.
- Added `user_secret_ref` environment bindings and UI affordances to
pick them alongside existing secret refs.
- Added responsible-user runtime resolution so user-secret refs resolve
against the human responsible for the run.
- Added pre-dispatch missing-secret gates so runs fail before adapter
dispatch when required user values are absent or definitions are
inactive.
- Added low-trust allowlist hardening for user-secret runtime access.
- Added issue, routine, run, and agent API key responsible-user
attribution and fail-closed dispatch behavior when attribution cannot be
resolved.
- Added denial-copy mapping so responsible-user authorization failures
surface as actionable run outcomes instead of opaque setup failures.
- Added OpenAPI documentation for the user-secret routes.
- Rebases cleanly on current `master`; migrations were renumbered
incrementally as `0128_user_specific_secrets`,
`0129_agent_api_key_responsible_user`, and
`0130_run_responsible_user_invariant` after upstream `0126`/`0127`
migrations.
- Removed previously committed local design screenshots so the PR
contains code/docs/tests only.

## Risks
- Runtime behavior now depends on a run having a correct responsible
user; missing or incorrect responsibility assignment can block runs
before adapter dispatch.
- `user_secret_ref` bindings intentionally expose metadata without
values, but UI/API callers may need to handle the new binding kind
explicitly.
- External secret providers and IAM policies are not automatically
provisioned by this PR; operators still need to configure provider-side
access for non-local vaults.
- The PR is broad across db/shared/server/UI/runtime paths, so release
validation should include both API and UI secret workflows before merge.
- The migration renumbering is intentionally incremental after upstream
migrations; the branch migrations use guarded
column/table/index/constraint creation so users who tested the older
draft numbering should not hit duplicate DDL for the existing objects.

No public GitHub issue was found for this exact inbox descendant-status
polish.
Feature request fields:
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, plugin/MCP API surfaces,
and `ui/` inbox rendering.
**Problem or motivation**
Inbox rows need to show when blocked or collapsed parents still have
live descendant work, even when the live child row is not loaded in the
current client tree. Without a server-provided descendant summary, a
parent can look stalled even though active work continues below it.
**Proposed solution**
Expose an optional live descendant count on issue list results, request
it from inbox views, and use it to render covered blocked status and
live-below indicators. Keep the field opt-in so other issue list callers
keep their existing payload shape and query cost.
**Alternatives considered**
Relying only on client-loaded subtree state was ruled out because it
misses collapsed or unloaded descendants. Always returning the count was
also avoided because most list callers do not need this extra summary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This is scoped operator-visibility polish for the existing inbox. It
does not duplicate a named `ROADMAP.md` milestone.
**Additional context**
The recursive summary query is guarded against parent cycles, and the UI
still falls back to loaded subtree live counts when server summary data
is absent or stale.
## What Changed
- Added optional `includeLiveDescendantSummary` support to issue list
contracts, SDK surfaces, MCP tools, routes, services, and tests.
- Added `liveDescendantCount` to issue list results when requested.
- Updated inbox and blocked-inbox queries to request live descendant
summaries.
- Updated inbox row status rendering so blocked parents with live
descendants show covered blocker treatment without duplicating the
live-below chip.
- Hardened live descendant summary traversal against parent cycles and
preserved the loaded-subtree fallback path for blocked inbox rows.
- Added focused tests for the API parameter, service behavior, helper
logic, cycle handling, and inbox UI query/rendering behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/inbox-live-descendants.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueColumns.test.tsx
ui/src/components/BlockedInboxView.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- Rebased cleanly onto current upstream `master` before pushing.
- Confirmed the branch diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows/*` changes.
## Risks
Low to moderate risk. The new descendant count is opt-in on list
requests, but it adds query work when the inbox asks for it. The
recursive traversal now tracks visited ancestors to avoid cycle
failures. The UI uses the server count as a supplement to existing
loaded-tree state, so stale or absent counts fall back to the prior
behavior.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent, tool-enabled with local shell and git
access. Reasoning mode and context window are managed by the
Paperclip/Codex runtime.
