perf(sandbox-providers): drop nvm sourcing from exec wrappers (#10443)
## 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.

@paperclipai/plugin-cloudflare-sandbox

Published Cloudflare sandbox provider plugin for Paperclip.

This package lives in the Paperclip monorepo, but it is intentionally excluded from the root pnpm workspace and shaped to publish and install like a standalone npm package. Operators can install it from the Plugins page by package name, and the host will fetch its dependencies at install time without adding lockfile churn to the Paperclip repo.

Install

From a Paperclip instance, install:

@paperclipai/plugin-cloudflare-sandbox

Configure Cloudflare from Instance Settings -> Environments, not from the plugin's plugin page.

Configuration

The environment uses core driver: "sandbox" with provider: "cloudflare".

Required fields:

  • bridgeBaseUrl
  • bridgeAuthToken

Important validation rules:

  • reuseLease: true requires keepAlive: true
  • non-local bridgeBaseUrl values must be https://
  • sessionId is required when sessionStrategy is named

Pasted auth tokens are stored by Paperclip as company secrets because the manifest marks bridgeAuthToken as a secret-ref field.

Bridge template

The package includes an operator-facing Cloudflare Worker scaffold under bridge-template. That template uses @cloudflare/sandbox, a Sandbox Durable Object binding, and a small JSON HTTP surface under /api/paperclip-sandbox/v1.

Local development

cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/cloudflare
pnpm install --ignore-workspace --no-lockfile
pnpm build
pnpm test
pnpm typecheck

These commands assume the repo root has already been installed once so the local @paperclipai/plugin-sdk workspace package is available to the compiler during development.
