## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Remote environments realize the workspace at a provider-owned path. > - Run startup probes Git and network context before it starts the agent. > - The probe used the controller path inside the remote environment. > - A missing directory stopped the run before any provider work began. > - This pull request uses the remote execution target's working directory. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #13094, which introduced this probe. Related: #8997 and #10419 address other workspace-directory handoffs; this patch fixes the newer Git-context probe. **What happened?** Remote runs failed with `setup_failed: Could not read execution-target Git context`, including tasks that did not use Git. The provider shell could not enter the controller's workspace directory. **Expected behavior** Startup must inspect Git and network context in the realized remote workspace. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Select a remote sandbox whose workspace is `/home/daytona/paperclip-workspace`. 2. Start a task whose controller workspace is under `/paperclip/instances/default/workspaces/`. 3. The startup probe exits when the controller directory does not exist in the sandbox. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced on `622376e99` and in the regression test before this patch. **Deployment mode** Docker controller with a remote Daytona sandbox. The same helper also serves SSH targets. ## What Changed - Use `remote.remoteCwd` for the remote Git-context probe. - Cover a missing controller directory in both credential modes. - Verify that SSH reads Git metadata from the remote workspace even when the caller directory exists. ## Verification - Before the fix, both new missing-directory tests failed with the reported error. - The launcher environment suite passes: 18 tests. - The adapter-utils suite passes: 1,085 passed, 11 skipped. - Adapter-utils typecheck passes. - A disposable sandbox with the affected deployment's image reproduced the old `cd` failure and passed with the corrected helper. The sandbox was deleted afterward. - Full repository typecheck and build pass locally. All CI gates pass at `61b522c`: regular test shards, serialized server suites, browser shards, Runner verification, build, policy, and security checks. - The first CI Build attempt hit a Runner suspension-acknowledgment timeout outside the changed code. The affected 13-case recovery group passes locally with its Rust fixtures built, and the unchanged CI job passed on its single retry. - The full serial local test run was stopped in favor of the complete CI matrix; it is not claimed as a local pass. ## Risks The probe now uses the provider-resolved target directory for sandbox and SSH execution. Local execution keeps its existing directory. There are no schema or API changes. Existing local credential and Git metadata tests pass. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with tool-assisted code analysis, implementation, and live and automated testing. The exact model identifier and context-window size are not exposed by this session. ## 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 - [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> |

@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) toremoteDirbefore the run starts. Runs with nogit remoteconfigured.restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... })— syncs the remote cwd back intolocalDirafter the run, including any new commits the agent created. Also runs with nogit remoteconfigured.
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.
