Devin FoleyandPaperclip 8326e33ada Fix oversized sandbox process launch payloads (#13793)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves context across retries.
> - Sandbox ACP runs encode their command and environment into one
launch value.
> - A long continuation can make that encoded value exceed Linux's exec
limit.
> - The launch shell then exits before the agent can initialize.
> - This PR transfers large command envelopes through a private
temporary file.
> - The agent receives the complete environment and can start normally.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13777.

**Bug description**

Sandbox tasks with long retry context fail during ACP initialization
with exit 127. The streamed bridge also drops the shell error that
explains the failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

Launch the streamed sandbox process bridge on Linux with one valid
110,000-byte environment value. Its base64 command envelope exceeds the
limit on one exec argument or environment string. Daytona reports
`argument list too long: env`, then exit 127.

**Expected behavior**

The command envelope must not make a valid child environment too large
to launch. A shell startup failure must retain its diagnostic in the run
log.

## What Changed

- Keep envelopes up to 64 KiB on the existing launch path. Upload larger
envelopes in bounded chunks inside a mode-0700 session directory. Set
the final payload file to mode 0600.
- Read the file without following symlinks and delete it before spawning
the child. Remove incomplete uploads on failure. Both streamed and
polled bridges use the same envelope.
- Preserve stderr when the launch shell fails before the wrapper emits a
terminal event. Emit a fixed terminal error and shutdown acknowledgement
if a payload cannot be read or parsed, without exposing its contents.
- Cover large environments, file permissions, payload deletion,
interrupted uploads, missing or malformed payloads, and startup
diagnostics. Document the transfer and cleanup behavior.

## Verification

- Both large-envelope regressions fail before the fix and pass after it.
- Targeted bridge, ACP engine, real-spawn, and stdin-race checks pass:
370 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passes.
- A gated live Daytona probe on the current sandbox image reproduced
exit 127 with the old bridge. The fixed bridge launched the same command
successfully. A second probe completed real Claude ACP initialization
with a 110,000-byte context value. It did not run an agent task. All
temporary sandboxes were deleted.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` reach the unchanged Rust runner
step and stop because this machine has no `cargo` executable.
- Full CI passes on `ea816cf58d`: [run
35683853754](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35683853754).
All 53 checks pass; two optional checks are skipped. The local
full-suite run was stopped after equivalent CI suites passed; it has no
final local result.
- Greptile is 5/5 on `ea816cf58d`, with no unresolved review threads.
The branch is mergeable.

## Risks

Large envelopes require extra upload calls during startup. The temporary
data stays inside the private session directory and is removed before
child startup or during failure cleanup. Individual child environment
values still obey the operating system's native limits. No migration or
configuration change is required.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip d1573244b5 refactor: disambiguate the Telemetry and Observability data paths (#12128)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip records first-party events, OpenTelemetry data, and local
run-log events
> - The code and documents used one term for these three data paths
> - This naming made the required review level unclear
> - This pull request names each data path in the module names,
documents, and code comments
> - The benefit is a clear review rule without a runtime change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Issue type**

Unclear or confusing.

**Where is the issue?**

`packages/shared/src/telemetry/README.md`, `doc/observability.md`,
`doc/run-log-events.md`, and the duplex instrumentation modules.

**What's wrong?**

The repository used Telemetry for first-party events, OpenTelemetry
data, and local run-log events. This usage made the data path and review
level unclear.

**Suggested fix**

Use Telemetry only for Paperclip first-party events. Use Observability
for OpenTelemetry data. Use the run log for rows in
`heartbeat_run_events`.

Related public pull requests: #8476 and #9672.

## What Changed

- Rename the duplex instrumentation modules and identifiers from
`Telemetry` to `Observability`.
- Move the Observability and run-log contracts out of the Telemetry
README.
- Add `doc/observability.md` and `doc/run-log-events.md` as the
canonical documents.
- Add a file-path review rule to `AGENTS.md`.
- Correct the remaining code comments that name the wrong data path.
- Keep all event names, payloads, database records, spans, configuration
keys, environment variables, and runtime paths unchanged.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/telemetry/readme-contract.test.ts`
passes.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/published-exports.test.ts`
passes.
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-timing.test.ts` passes
with 42 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm --filter server typecheck` passes.
- The old module name does not remain in TypeScript or JSON files,
except for the intentional publication guard.
- CI and Greptile checks remain pending after PR creation.

## Risks

- The old duplex module subpath no longer has a compatibility shim. The
board accepted this intentional hard break.
- The new duplex module subpath stays blocked from package publication.
- The change has no runtime effect. The main risk is an incorrect
document or module reference.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 Codex, exact model ID `gpt-5`, with tool use and code
review support.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b446ff59bf refactor(acpx-engine): coordinator-owned ACP run lifecycle with a typed resource ledger (#11576)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters run agent sessions through the ACPX engine
> - The ACPX engine handled one run attempt as a long implicit procedure
> - That shape made resource ownership, cleanup order, and failure
behavior hard to verify
> - This pull request gives the attempt a coordinator, a typed resource
ledger, separate run sites, and explicit turn and settlement sequences
> - The benefit is clear ownership, one cleanup path, safer session
reuse, and testable failure behavior

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The ACPX engine manages startup, turn execution, session reuse, and
cleanup inside one large run procedure.

**Current behavior**

The run procedure owns several resources through implicit control flow.
Cleanup and session reuse behavior depend on lane-specific branches and
error paths.

**Proposed behavior**

The coordinator owns the run attempt. A typed ledger records six
resources and their states. Host and sandbox run sites own lane-specific
acquisition. Turn and settlement sequences expose typed outcomes. The
engine emits allowlisted phase telemetry.

**Reason and benefit**

Explicit ownership makes cleanup and failure behavior easier to inspect.
The fault matrix and characterization tests protect the external result
while the refactor reduces hidden control flow.

**Breaking changes**

None to the public adapter contract. The host warm-save path now closes
and relaunches the runtime because a transferred runtime could retain a
run-scoped credential. A cold session-handshake failure now closes the
created runtime.

**Additional context**

This pull request contains the ACPX engine lifecycle refactor, its
tests, and the lifecycle document.

## What Changed

- Add a run coordinator for startup, turn execution, settlement, and
result reproduction.
- Add a typed resource ledger with open, sealed, and consumed states.
- Add host and sandbox run sites for lane-specific resource acquisition.
- Replace separate runtime maps with a generic session reuse store.
- Split session fingerprint identity from the outer session key.
- Add typed turn and settlement sequences with one cleanup owner.
- Add a closed allowlist for phase telemetry.
- Add characterization tests and a 17-case fault matrix.
- Add `doc/acp-run-lifecycle.md`.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/` passes 18
files and 286 tests at the submitted commit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` reports 0 errors
at the submitted commit.
- Run the full pull request checks after GitHub starts CI.
- Run Greptile review after the pull request opens.

## Risks

- The refactor changes internal control flow across the ACPX engine.
- Host warm-save behavior now closes and relaunches the runtime.
- Settlement changes the handling of a cold session-handshake failure
from a leak to a close.
- The characterization baselines and fault matrix reduce the risk of an
external behavior change.
