Nicky Leach 6a267e0328 feat(sandbox): stage referenced projects into the run sandbox (#10469 ) ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Runs can reference more than one project > - Each referenced project must land in its own sandbox tree so one run does not mix files across projects > - The anchor workspace must keep its own git history and overlay rules > - Fail closed on sync and confinement errors, and keep the other projects alive > - This pull request stages referenced projects into isolated project directories under the run sandbox root > - The benefit is safer multi-project runs with clear failure isolation ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No public issue exists. Related PR: #10448. ## What Changed - Thread additional referenced-project sources through the run prepare path and the runtime layers. - Stage each referenced project into its own `project-<projectId>` directory under the runtime root. - Keep the anchor workspace history and overlay semantics unchanged. - Fail closed on confinement or sync errors for one project, and keep the other projects running. - Keep the path inert by default behind the multi-project workspace-sync kill-switch. - No documentation update was needed for this code-only runtime change. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run src/sandbox-file-sync.test.ts src/command-managed-runtime.test.ts src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts src/remote-managed-runtime.test.ts` - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` - The branch points at `871378e4064a95adc8e4647e442ec1359768de61` on `origin/feat/stage-referenced-projects-into-sandbox`. - GitHub CI is green on PR #10469. ## Risks - A referenced project can skip if confinement or sync fails. - A new runtime tree layout can affect tools that assume one project root. - The kill-switch keeps the path inert until operators enable it. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use enabled. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes or confirmed no docs update was needed - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>		2026-07-29 16:09:57 -07:00

@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.
