Devin FoleyandPaperclip 8d9f9fd240 Add reusable sandbox custom images (#8794)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A growing part of that work runs in sandboxed environments rather
than on the operator's local machine.
> - Today sandbox providers can start fresh workspaces and run probes,
but they do not have a shared contract for capturing and reusing
prepared sandbox state.
> - Operators need a way to set up tools, credentials, and project
dependencies once, then reuse that prepared image for later agent runs.
> - This pull request adds reusable sandbox custom images across the
provider contract, server runtime, and board UI.
> - It also keeps probes and sandbox copy flows aligned with
pre-authenticated/custom-image environments.
> - The benefit is faster, more reliable sandbox runs without repeatedly
rebuilding the same environment setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue was found for this change. Inline feature request
follows.

### Problem or motivation

Sandboxed agents need reusable prepared runtime state so repeated runs
do not require manual setup every time. Operators often need system
packages, CLIs, SDKs, dependency caches, credentials, and project
tooling available before an agent can work productively.

### Proposed solution

Add a provider-level custom-image capability, server-side setup/capture
lifecycle, Daytona/fake provider support, and board UI controls for
creating, testing, selecting, and deleting custom images.

### Alternatives considered

Leaving this as provider-specific setup outside Paperclip would keep the
control plane blind to image state and would not give agents consistent
environment metadata. Re-running setup commands for every lease is
simpler, but slower and less reliable for interactive or credentialed
setup.

### Roadmap alignment

Checked `ROADMAP.md`; this aligns with the Cloud / Sandbox agents
roadmap area and does not duplicate any related public issue or PR found
by search.

Additional context:
- Subsystem affected: cross-cutting (`packages/db`, `packages/shared`,
`packages/plugins`, `server`, `ui`).
- Duplicate search: searched GitHub for `sandbox custom image` and
`sandbox template environment`; no related public issues or PRs were
found.

## What Changed

- Added custom-image shared types, validators, constants, API paths, and
database schema/migration.
- Added server services/routes for custom-image templates and setup
sessions, including runtime cleanup and provider metadata handling.
- Extended plugin/sandbox provider capabilities for interactive setup,
template capture, and template deletion.
- Implemented custom-image support in the fake sandbox provider and
Daytona provider.
- Updated environment runtime/config handling so active custom images
flow into leases, probes, and agent execution.
- Added board UI controls and API client support for custom-image setup,
capture, selection, status, and error states.
- Hardened sandbox copy/probe behavior for insecure clipboard contexts
and pre-authenticated sandbox images.
- Added targeted coverage across shared validators, DB schema, server
routes/services, provider plugins, adapter probes, and UI flows.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.probe.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/test.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck`
- `pnpm vitest run

server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts
ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/CompanySettings.test.tsx`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `rm -rf packages/db/dist && pnpm test:run`
- Public-safety scan of the final diff found no internal Paperclip issue
links, private instance URLs, or real secret patterns.

## Risks

- Adds a database migration and new environment runtime tables, so
migration ordering and rollback need care.
- Provider implementations may differ in how reliably they can
capture/delete images; unsupported providers surface capability-gated UI
states.
- Custom-image state can contain operator-prepared tooling and
credentials inside the provider image, so providers must enforce their
own access controls and cleanup semantics.
- Broad surface area across shared contracts, server runtime, plugins,
adapters, and UI means CI and Greptile review should be watched closely.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip e5a0f5debd fix(plugin): raise environmentProbe RPC timeout to 120s for cold-start sandboxes (#6289)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Companies provision execution environments via sandbox provider
plugins (Modal, Daytona, E2B, etc.)
> - At provision time, the server probes each plugin's environment /
sandbox-provider driver over a worker RPC to validate config
> - `workerManager.call()` defaults to a 30s timeout, but cold-start
sandboxes — Modal in particular — take ~31s to boot
> - Result: every fresh Modal environment probe fails with a worker RPC
timeout, blocking environment provisioning end-to-end
> - This PR passes `timeoutMs=120_000` to the two probe call sites
(`probePluginEnvironmentDriver`, `probePluginSandboxProviderDriver`)
> - The benefit is Modal — and any future provider with similar
cold-start latency — can be successfully probed without false-negative
timeout failures

## What Changed

- Pass `timeoutMs=120_000` to `workerManager.call()` in
`probePluginEnvironmentDriver`
(`server/src/services/plugin-environment-driver.ts`)
- Pass `timeoutMs=120_000` to `workerManager.call()` in
`probePluginSandboxProviderDriver` (same file)

## Verification

- Targeted unit tests:
  ```
  pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run \
    src/__tests__/plugin-environment-driver-seam.test.ts \
    src/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts
  ```
  5/5 tests pass.
- Manual: provision a fresh Modal sandbox environment from the UI.
Previously failed with a worker RPC timeout at ~30s; now succeeds.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only raises a per-call timeout (default 30s →
explicit 120s) on two probe call sites. Fast providers are unaffected
since probe completes well below either bound. Worst case: a genuinely
hung worker now blocks the probe for 120s instead of 30s before giving
up — still bounded, and only on the provision-time probe path (not the
heartbeat/run path).

## Model Used

- Provider: Anthropic
- Model: `claude-opus-4-7` (Claude Opus 4.7, 1M context window)
- Capabilities: extended thinking, tool use, code execution
- Scope of AI assistance: the underlying 4-line code change was
human-authored by the committer; this PR (verification commands, message
structuring, and submission) was prepared with Claude per the
`paperclip-dev` skill.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 486fb88a15 Add Cloudflare sandbox provider plugin (#5687)
> _Stacked on top of #5685 → #5686. Diff against master includes commits
from earlier PRs in the stack — review focuses on the two new commits
(`Extend sandbox callback bridge for Worker-hosted plugins` + `Add
Cloudflare sandbox provider plugin`)._

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Each agent runs in a sandbox environment, and operators choose which
provider backs that sandbox — today E2B and Daytona are bundled with the
platform
> - Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects + the Sandbox SDK offer a
credible new option: globally distributed, cheap idle, and
operator-deployable as a single Worker
> - To plug it in, Paperclip needs (a) a provider plugin that speaks the
`PaperclipPluginManifestV1` lifecycle and (b) a small operator-deployed
Worker — the **bridge** — that adapts Paperclip's runtime RPCs to the
Cloudflare Sandbox SDK
> - The plugin extends the existing sandbox-callback-bridge with a
`bridge.transport: "worker"` discriminator so the platform routes
runtime RPCs through the Worker bridge instead of the in-process runner
> - This pull request adds the plugin, the bridge Worker template, and
the supporting adapter-utils + server hooks the new transport needs
> - The benefit is that operators can run sandboxes on Cloudflare's edge
with no new platform code beyond installing the plugin and deploying the
Worker

## What Changed

**Shared support (`Extend sandbox callback bridge for Worker-hosted
plugins`):**

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.{ts,test.ts}`:
expose `expectedHostHeader` so plugin-side bridge clients can verify the
canonical request envelope before forwarding.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/command-managed-runtime.{ts,test.ts}`:
relax the always-fresh runner construction so callers can re-use a
runner across exec calls (Worker-hosted bridges hold the runner inside a
Durable Object).
- `server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts` +
`environment-runtime.test.ts`: route Worker-hosted bridges through the
same env-shaping path as E2B and pin the `requestEnv` contract.
- `server/src/services/plugin-environment-driver.ts`: thread an optional
`issueId` through the runtime descriptor so bridges can scope leases to
the originating issue (used by Cloudflare to map a sandbox to the
issue/workflow for billing and audit).
- `packages/plugins/sdk/src/protocol.ts`: add `issueId?` to
`PluginEnvironmentDriverBaseParams` and the new `bridge.transport:
"worker"` discriminator that the new plugin declares.
- `server/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts`: pin the
heartbeat path against the new runtime descriptor.

**The Cloudflare plugin itself (`Add Cloudflare sandbox provider
plugin`):**

- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/cloudflare/`: plugin entry,
manifest, plugin runtime (lifecycle + bridge client), config parsing,
and Vitest coverage. Manifest declares `bridge.transport: "worker"` so
the platform routes runtime RPCs through the bridge client.
- `bridge-template/`: a Worker template the operator deploys with
`wrangler`. Owns Durable Object-backed sessions (`sessions.ts`),
exec/stream routes (`exec.ts`, `routes.ts`), and an HMAC auth layer
(`auth.ts`) that pins the `Host` header surface. Includes the
SDK-contract-correct exec implementation, lease recovery, and chunked
stdout/stderr streaming.
- Tests cover lease/session handoff (`bridge-template/src/exec.test.ts`,
`routes.test.ts`), bridge client request shaping
(`src/bridge-client.test.ts`), and end-to-end plugin behavior
(`src/plugin.test.ts`) including streamed exec output. 27 tests in
total.
- `README.md` walks the operator through deploying the bridge Worker,
registering the plugin, and configuring the runtime.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --no-coverage
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/command-managed-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-plugin-environment.test.ts`
- `(cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/cloudflare && pnpm test)` — 27
passing

For an operator-side smoke test:

1. Deploy the bridge: `cd
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/cloudflare/bridge-template &&
wrangler deploy`
2. Register the plugin in your Paperclip instance, point its bridge URL
at the deployed Worker, set the HMAC shared secret.
3. Create a sandbox environment whose provider is `cloudflare`, then run
a Codex or Claude job against it.

## Risks

- Adds a new `bridge.transport: "worker"` code path, but the existing
E2B / Daytona transports go through the same shaped helpers and have
explicit test coverage that pins their behavior unchanged.
- The Worker bridge stores session state in a Durable Object; operator
instances must be aware of the corresponding Cloudflare costs (DO
requests, storage). Documented in the README.
- The `issueId` plumbing is optional throughout — existing plugins that
don't supply it continue to work.

## Model Used

- Provider: Anthropic
- Model: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context)
- Capabilities used: extended reasoning, tool use (Read/Edit/Bash/Grep)

Devin Foley c0ce35d1fb Improve E2B plugin configuration UX and fix execution timeouts (#4802)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - E2B is a sandbox provider plugin that runs agent code in isolated
cloud environments
> - Operators configure E2B through the plugin settings page
> - But the E2B API key configuration was unclear — the settings field
description didn't explain that pasted keys are auto-saved as company
secrets, and the fallback to the host `E2B_API_KEY` variable wasn't
documented
> - Additionally, long-running E2B sandbox commands were timing out
because the plugin environment RPC driver used a fixed timeout, and
environment commands competed for the single foreground command slot
> - This PR clarifies the E2B configuration UX, fixes RPC timeouts for
plugin environment execution, and runs E2B environment commands in
background mode to avoid blocking the foreground slot
> - The benefit is clearer E2B setup for operators and more reliable
sandbox command execution

## What Changed

- Updated E2B plugin manifest and settings UI to clarify API key
configuration — field description now explains that pasted keys are
saved as company secrets and documents the `E2B_API_KEY` host fallback
- Added test coverage for the plugin settings page rendering
- Fixed `plugin-environment-driver.ts` to pass the configured timeout
through to RPC calls instead of using a hardcoded default
- Updated `environment-runtime.ts` to propagate timeout from the
environment lease to the plugin driver
- Changed E2B sandbox command execution to use background handles so
long-running agent commands don't block the foreground slot needed by
the callback bridge

## Verification

- `pnpm test` — all existing and new tests pass
- `pnpm typecheck` — clean
- Manual: navigate to plugin settings, verify E2B API key field shows
the updated description text
- Manual: run an E2B-backed agent task with a long-running command,
verify it completes without RPC timeout

## Risks

- Low risk. Configuration UX change is cosmetic. The timeout fix passes
an existing value through instead of dropping it. Background command
execution is a behavioral change but only affects E2B sandbox commands —
the foreground slot is still available for bridge health checks.

## Model Used

Codex GPT 5.4 high via Paperclip.

Devin Foley 5bd0f578fd Generalize sandbox provider core for plugin-only providers (#4449)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is a control plane, so optional execution providers should
sit at the plugin edge instead of hardcoding provider-specific behavior
into core shared/server/ui layers.
> - Sandbox environments are already first-class, and the fake provider
proves the built-in path; the remaining gap was that real providers
still leaked provider-specific config and runtime assumptions into core.
> - That coupling showed up in config normalization, secret persistence,
capabilities reporting, lease reconstruction, and the board UI form
fields.
> - As long as core knew about those provider-shaped details, shipping a
provider as a pure third-party plugin meant every new provider would
still require host changes.
> - This pull request generalizes the sandbox provider seam around
schema-driven plugin metadata and generic secret-ref handling.
> - The runtime and UI now consume provider metadata generically, so
core only special-cases the built-in fake provider while third-party
providers can live entirely in plugins.

## What Changed

- Added generic sandbox-provider capability metadata so plugin-backed
providers can expose `configSchema` through shared environment support
and the environments capabilities API.
- Reworked sandbox config normalization/persistence/runtime resolution
to handle schema-declared secret-ref fields generically, storing them as
Paperclip secrets and resolving them for probe/execute/release flows.
- Generalized plugin sandbox runtime handling so provider validation,
reusable-lease matching, lease reconstruction, and plugin worker calls
all operate on provider-agnostic config instead of provider-shaped
branches.
- Replaced hardcoded sandbox provider form fields in Company Settings
with schema-driven rendering and blocked agent environment selection
from the built-in fake provider.
- Added regression coverage for the generic seam across shared support
helpers plus environment config, probe, routes, runtime, and
sandbox-provider runtime tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest --run packages/shared/src/environment-support.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-config.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-probe.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/sandbox-provider-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`

## Risks

- Plugin sandbox providers now depend more heavily on accurate
`configSchema` declarations; incorrect schemas can misclassify
secret-bearing fields or omit required config.
- Reusable lease matching is now metadata-driven for plugin-backed
providers, so providers that fail to persist stable metadata may
reprovision instead of resuming an existing lease.
- The UI form is now fully schema-driven for plugin-backed sandbox
providers; provider manifests without good defaults or descriptions may
produce a rougher operator experience.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex via `codex_local`
- Model ID: `gpt-5.4`
- Reasoning effort: `high`
- Context window observed in runtime session metadata: `258400` tokens
- Capabilities used: terminal tool execution, git, and local code/test
inspection

Devin Foley 70679a3321 Add sandbox environment support (#4415)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The environment/runtime layer decides where agent work executes and
how the control plane reaches those runtimes.
> - Today Paperclip can run locally and over SSH, but sandboxed
execution needs a first-class environment model instead of one-off
adapter behavior.
> - We also want sandbox providers to be pluggable so the core does not
hardcode every provider implementation.
> - This branch adds the Sandbox environment path, the provider
contract, and a deterministic fake provider plugin.
> - That required synchronized changes across shared contracts, plugin
SDK surfaces, server runtime orchestration, and the UI
environment/workspace flows.
> - The result is that sandbox execution becomes a core control-plane
capability while keeping provider implementations extensible and
testable.

## What Changed

- Added sandbox runtime support to the environment execution path,
including runtime URL discovery, sandbox execution targeting,
orchestration, and heartbeat integration.
- Added plugin-provider support for sandbox environments so providers
can be supplied via plugins instead of hardcoded server logic.
- Added the fake sandbox provider plugin with deterministic behavior
suitable for local and automated testing.
- Updated shared types, validators, plugin protocol definitions, and SDK
helpers to carry sandbox provider and workspace-runtime contracts across
package boundaries.
- Updated server routes and services so companies can create sandbox
environments, select them for work, and execute work through the sandbox
runtime path.
- Updated the UI environment and workspace surfaces to expose sandbox
environment configuration and selection.
- Added test coverage for sandbox runtime behavior, provider seams,
environment route guards, orchestration, and the fake provider plugin.

## Verification

- Ran locally before the final fixture-only scrub:
  - `pnpm -r typecheck`
  - `pnpm test:run`
  - `pnpm build`
- Ran locally after the final scrub amend:
  - `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/runtime-api.test.ts`
- Reviewer spot checks:
  - create a sandbox environment backed by the fake provider plugin
  - run work through that environment
- confirm sandbox provider execution does not inherit host secrets
implicitly

## Risks

- This touches shared contracts, plugin SDK plumbing, server runtime
orchestration, and UI environment/workspace flows, so regressions would
likely show up as cross-layer mismatches rather than isolated type
errors.
- Runtime URL discovery and sandbox callback selection are sensitive to
host/bind configuration; if that logic is wrong, sandbox-backed
callbacks may fail even when execution succeeds.
- The fake provider plugin is intentionally deterministic and
test-oriented; future providers may expose capability gaps that this
branch does not yet cover.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent on a GPT-5-class backend in the
Paperclip/Codex harness. Exact backend model ID is not exposed
in-session. Tool-assisted workflow with shell execution, file editing,
git history inspection, and local test execution.
