Dotta 6809314a3f fix: recover sandbox workspace setup and retries (#13353 ) ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents and their tasks. > - Sandbox tasks need a workspace and a provider session before work can start. > - A selected Git subfolder is a valid workspace, but it is not a repository fetch source. > - A resumed sandbox must keep one resource identity when the provider fills in its region. > - Workspace reuse does not prove that a provider session has started. > - A recorded continuation must not leave an old failure blocking Retry for a newer attempt. > - This pull request fixes those setup and recovery boundaries while preserving ownership checks. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description What happened? A Daytona task failed before provider startup when its project folder was inside a parent Git repository. After the folder was repaired, Retry resumed the same sandbox and verified its workspace sentinel, but workspace preparation reported that the lease was no longer active. A later attempt could fail because the resumed workspace had no provider checkpoint. The old run also kept a recovery projection after the server recorded its explicit successor, hiding Retry for the new failure. Expected behavior Sync the selected folder without importing parent files or history. Keep the existing sandbox identity stable. Allow a new provider session only with proof that its exact session has never started. Let the current failed attempt retain Retry once the old recovery has a recorded successor. Steps to reproduce 1. Select a subfolder of a Git repository as a project workspace and start a Daytona task. 2. Leave the target region unset. Release its reusable sandbox after setup fails, then resume and realize the workspace. 3. Retry a provider setup that failed before any session directory or checkpoint was created. 4. Record an explicit successor for a native failure, fail that successor during setup, and inspect Retry in the task thread. Paperclip version or commit Reproduced against `8d1f0c20a` with new failing regressions before each production fix. Deployment mode Local controller with a Daytona environment. Automated tests use deterministic provider fixtures and real filesystem operations. Related: #13338, #13163, #13264, #13349. The open work-folder stack in #13264 includes a broader fresh-session authority change. This patch addresses the independently reproduced startup failure with existing durable bootstrap proof and atomic directory creation. It does not include the work-folder migration or credential changes from that stack. ## What Changed - Classify only the selected Git repository root as a fetch source. Sync subfolders as directories and preserve their enclosing Git ignore rules on upload and restore. Recognize the shared scheduler’s completed non-repository result so ordinary folders still sync; timeout, cancellation, and output-limit failures remain closed. - Remove the placement target from Daytona account cache identity. Keep API endpoint, credential digest, company, environment, driver, and sandbox ID boundaries. - Preserve closed-lease admission until a sentinel-verified resume reopens that same resource. - Show the already-recorded explicit successor of a resolved recovery. Keep the old failure evidence and unresolved holds. No historical status writes occur. - Permit a resumed workspace to create a new session directory only with matching durable identity, zero connections and events, untouched bootstrap commands, no backup, and an absent remote session. Claim the directory atomically. Existing, partial, or ambiguous state still blocks startup. ## Verification - Final head `c43c7403f`: [CI completed successfully](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34733846820/attempts/2), with 32 successful checks and 2 conditional skips. This includes every server, UI, package, serialized-route, browser, native-runner, typecheck, and build gate. Greptile reviewed the same head at [5/5 with no unresolved findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13353#issuecomment-5650270168). - New regressions failed before each of the four production fixes. Git/archive/restore suites: 148 passed. The scheduler-wrapped non-Git regression also failed before its fix; 135 affected Git/sync/Codex tests then passed. - Daytona plugin: 230 passed, 6 opt-in live tests skipped. Native executor, projection, and TaskChatThread: 494 passed, including existing/partial state, wrong identity, prior connections or turns, backups, unavailable proof, and unresolved recovery controls. - Local full-repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed on the final head. Local CLI: 485 passed. Complete single-worker package rerun: 3,224 passed, 19 skipped. - Local verification is an aggregate with recorded retries, not one pristine green invocation: the general-server run began on `e721a920a` and finished with 12,002 passed, 3 failed, 70 skipped. Its real Codex scheduler failure is fixed above; the socket and workspace-runtime timeout failures passed unchanged in focused reruns. Both Inbox failures passed unchanged in the full 27-test Inbox file; database/shared-package failures passed in the single-worker package rerun. The supplemental local serialized-route rerun remains in progress; all five corresponding final-head CI lanes passed. - The first final-head CI attempt hit a Daytona fixture-readiness race and a signoff-browser heartbeat receipt timeout. One supported unchanged failed-job rerun passed both and the aggregate gates. Live combined user-journey verification is tracked in the related follow-up; this PR's provider tests use deterministic fixtures and real filesystem checks. ## Risks - A selected subfolder uses directory sync and does not carry parent Git history. Its ignored files stay local. - The target region remains a creation setting and part of workspace reuse policy; it does not split the account identity of an existing sandbox. - Incomplete or conflicting provider state still fails closed. This change does not erase a session, infer completed work, bypass a user decision, or replay uncertain actions. - A later remote setup failure can leave a claimed partial session directory. It remains blocked rather than being overwritten. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code execution.

@paperclipai/adapter-utils

Shared utilities for Paperclip adapters: process spawning, environment injection, sandbox/SSH transport, workspace sync, and the round-trip helpers that move code between the local execution-workspace cwd and wherever the agent actually runs.

For the adapter-author guide see docs/adapters/creating-an-adapter.md and the in-repo notes at packages/adapters/AUTHORING.md.

No-remote-git contract

The local execution-workspace cwd is the only persistence boundary across runs. No adapter may depend on a git remote for cross-run state.

Adapters that run the agent on a different host should use the SSH round-trip helpers in src/ssh.ts:

prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir }) — bundles the local cwd (tracked files, dirty edits, untracked additions, and the git history needed to reconstruct it) to remoteDir before the run starts. Runs with no git remote configured.
restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... }) — syncs the remote cwd back into localDir after the run, including any new commits the agent created. Also runs with no git remote configured.

prepareRemoteManagedRuntime in src/remote-managed-runtime.ts wraps both calls for adapters that want a per-run remote workspace and an automatic restoreWorkspace() finally hook.

The invariant is pinned by the no-remote-git contract case in src/ssh-fixture.test.ts, which asserts that a remote-only commit propagates to the local worktree through the prepare → restore round-trip with no git remote configured at any point. Do not regress that test.
