Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 83c6832ccb fix(build): typecheck package, Playwright, and e2e test files in CI (#18839)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Runner, plugin, and Playwright tests verify how those agents run,
connect, and appear in the board
> - Most package tsconfigs exclude tests, and Vitest strips types, so a
type error in those tests fails nothing
> - The tests drifted to 803 real type errors, and some of those errors
hid assertions that checked nothing
> - paperclipai/paperclip#18739 and paperclipai/paperclip#18738 check
the server test tree and four test projects, but not these files
> - This pull request adds a required check for these test files, fixes
every error, and fails CI if a test file is in no program
> - The benefit is that a type error in any test file outside
`server/src` now fails CI

**What happened?**

517 test files were in no program that required CI checks. A type error
in those files did not fail CI.

**Expected behavior**

CI fails on a type error in any test file.

**Steps to reproduce**

Add `export const value: number = "text";` to a test file under
`packages/paperclip-runner/src` on master. CI stays green, because
`tsconfig.json` excludes test files and Vitest strips types.

**Measured gap**

Each row is a program with its tests included, on one thread. File and
error counts are for head `7d4b5e907a`. Memory peaks were measured
before the two latest merges of master.

| Group | Test files | Real errors | Peak |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| `paperclip-runner` Node source | 290 | 644 | 1.09 GiB |
| `paperclip-runner` surfaces | 9 | 12 | 0.42 GiB |
| `paperclip-runner` devtools and examples | 14 | 0 | 0.68 GiB |
| `sandbox-providers/kubernetes` | 21 | 65 | 0.44 GiB |
| 8 other sandbox providers and `bridge-template` | 32 | 4 | 0.34 GiB |
| `plugins/sdk` | 22 | 15 | 0.41 GiB |
| `plugin-workspace-diff` | 5 | 0 | 0.37 GiB |
| `plugin-orchestration-smoke-example` | 1 | 1 | 0.15 GiB |
| `kv-demo-mcp-server` | 3 | 0 | 0.13 GiB |
| `packages/db` scripts | 1 | 0 | 1.01 GiB |
| 8 Playwright suites under `tests/` | 52 | 25 | 1.72 GiB |
| `tests/runner-acceptance` | 3 | 0 | 0.58 GiB |
| `tests/e2e`, through layer declarations | 63 | 37 | at most 1.59 GiB |
| `ui` `AttentionInteractionResolver.test.tsx` | 1 | 0 | n/a |
| **Total** | **517** | **803** | |

27 of the 803 errors came from master while this pull request was open.
Each merge of master brought new test code that no check had read.

Errors that were config errors, not real errors:

- One TS2688 for each provider, because the root install does not
install provider dependencies.
- 9 in the Runner Node program (TS7016 and TS6059).
- 2 in `tsconfig.browser.json`. TypeScript 7 removed `baseUrl`, so that
config was invalid.
- 213 in the Playwright suites (`@/*` aliases and Vite types).
- About 60 in `tests/e2e` (import extensions and aliases).

`packages/plugins/create-paperclip-plugin` has no gap. Its tsconfig
excludes its test, but `cli/tsconfig.json` reaches that test through an
import. `server/test-baselines` also has no gap, because
`tests/lifecycle-baseline` reads it.

## What Changed

- Added `scripts/typecheck-test-programs.mjs` and its tests. The
`Typecheck + Release Registry` job runs it. It checks each program in
`PROGRAMS` on one thread.
- The script fails if a tracked `*.test.ts(x)` or `*.spec.ts(x)` file
outside `server/src` is in no program. The compiler file list decides
this, because `include` drops `foo.test.tsx` when `foo.test.ts` exists.
- Added a `tsconfig.test.json` to each uncovered package, and
`tests/tsconfig.playwright.json`.
- Added `tests/e2e` to `PROJECTS` in
`scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs`, with a `tsconfig.json` and a
`tsconfig.layers.json`.
- Added `scripts/typecheck-sandbox-providers`. It is a small workspace
that installs provider SDKs from one lockfile. I did not add a lockfile
inside each provider, because
`scripts/build-standalone-public-packages.mjs` uses a frozen install
when one exists, and that changes what a release resolves.
- Corrected `packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.browser.json` for
TypeScript 7.
- Set `rootDir` to `..` in
`packages/paperclip-runner/tsconfig.test.json`, because one Runner test
imports from `packages/adapter-utils/src`. The program does not emit
files, so this changes no build output.
- Moved the Kubernetes provider from `vitest ^3.2.4` to `^4.1.8`, the
version the other providers use. Vitest 3 requires `tinypool ^1.1.1`,
which has two critical advisories (GHSA-85c8-ppgw-ccpr and
GHSA-5gmw-xhrv-c9v3). The first patched version is 2.1.2. Its tests have
the same result on both versions: 189 passed, and the same 12
`file-sync` tests failed.
- Moved the Kubernetes provider from `zod ^3.24.2` to `^4.6.6`, and gave
its two `z.record` calls a key schema. This is the only production
change, and it stays in this pull request. See "Production change for
review".
- Renamed `AttentionInteractionResolver.test.ts` to
`AttentionInteractionResolver.replace.test.ts`, so TypeScript reads the
`.test.tsx` beside it.
- Fixed all 803 errors, with changes to test files and test support
only. The fix for `contracts/native-execution.test.ts` is the same as
the fix in paperclipai/paperclip#18739, so those two changes merge
cleanly.
- Updated `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

This pull request does not edit `server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`.
paperclipai/paperclip#18739 and paperclipai/paperclip#18738 have both
merged, and this branch includes them.

### Production change for review

The new lockfile made dependency review flag `zod@3.25.76` as a
high-severity advisory (GHSA-mrhx-c7xc-m3w5). The first patched version
is 4.6.6, so 3.x has no fix. The published Kubernetes plugin uses zod to
validate operator config. The zod 3 source does not compile against zod
4, so a typecheck-only override cannot fix this.

The existing tests do not prove this change, because they also passed
with the invalid one-argument `z.record`. So I parsed 45 inputs with the
same schema on zod 3.25.76 and zod 4.6.7:

| Result | Inputs | Detail |
| --- | ---: | --- |
| Identical | 23 | Includes defaults, valid config, and a `__proto__`
key |
| Same outcome, new error wording | 21 | For example, `Invalid url` is
now `Invalid URL`. `validateConfig` shows this text to operators. |
| Different outcome | 1 | `jobTtlSecondsAfterFinished: 2 ** 60` was
valid and is now rejected. The new limit is `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`. |

I did not test this against a real cluster.

The decision is to keep this change in this pull request. Since then,
paperclipai/paperclip#17364 has moved the rest of the repository to zod
4.6.x, so the Kubernetes plugin now matches it.

### Behavior change for review

`reducedMotion` under `use` is not a Playwright option. It had no effect
in 11 configs and 2 `test.use` calls, so those suites ran with
`no-preference`. The options are now under `contextOptions`, so reduced
motion now takes effect. `app-shell-design.spec.ts` asserts a real
transition, so it now asks for `no-preference` itself.

The baseline manifest has `snapshotCount: 0`, so this invalidates no
published baseline. A frozen trial reference PNG can differ.

### Findings

These are product questions. I did not change them, and I did not hide
them with casts:

1. **`PrpEvent` and its schema disagree.** The TypeScript type in
`src/protocol/replay-contract.ts` requires `normalizedSessionId`. The
`required` list in `protocol/schemas/event.schema.json` does not include
it. `validatePrpEvent` accepts events that the type forbids.
2. **`requestCheckboxConfirmation` is stricter than its runtime.** It
uses the output type, so plugin authors must pass `continuationPolicy`
and `allowDeclineReason`, although the schema gives them defaults.
`z.input` would fix this.
3. **`RetainedRunnerdMaintenanceInput.backend.kind` is a free string.**
The quarantine domain comes from `descriptor.kind`, but the release uses
`proof.backend.kind`. If they differ,
`completeRetainedNativeSessionCleanup` returns 0 and the quarantine
stays. The production caller passes `"runner"` today, so this is not a
live bug.
4. **`CodexHarnessSession.close(input?)` is optional, but the contract
requires `{ reason }`.**

These are tests that verified nothing. I corrected them, and they pass:

- `backends/native-instruction-measurement.test.ts` filtered on
`placement === "core"`, which is not a valid placement. It measured an
empty tool list. It now measures 14 tools.
- `drivers/acpx/codex-acpx-driver.test.ts` checked for `usage.updated`,
which is not an event type.
- The `hostFixture()` helper in `drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts`
ignored two overrides, so
`expect(prepareSandbox).not.toHaveBeenCalled()` could not fail.
- `live/live-session.test.ts` set `agent: "pi"` before a spread that
overwrote it.
- `native-distribution-integrity.test.ts` passed an AbortSignal where
`openCommand` expects `{ signal }`.

These are gaps that this pull request does not close:

- **The root lockfile still has some old zod versions.**
paperclipai/paperclip#17364 moved the direct zod dependencies to 4.6.x.
`pnpm-lock.yaml` still resolves `zod@3.25.76`, `4.1.11`, and `4.4.3`,
which are below the patched 4.6.6.
`packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/pi-distribution/package.json` pins
`zod` to `3.25.76`, and some agent SDKs resolve `4.4.3`. Dependency
review does not flag them, because this pull request does not add them.
- **Dead GitHub coverage.** `chat-adapters-ui-providers.spec.ts`
returned early for GitHub, so four later `provider === "github"`
branches never ran. I removed them. They included the private key file
and paste match, and the reconnect flow. Nothing asserts those behaviors
in that spec now.
- **Provider tests do not run in CI.** The root `vitest.config.ts` lists
only Daytona. The other 8 providers, `bridge-template` included, are
typechecked now, but CI does not run their tests.
- **One `packages/db` test never runs.**
`scripts/clean-poisoned-claude-sessions.test.ts` is outside the
`include` of `packages/db/vitest.config.ts`.
- **`plugin-orchestration-smoke-example` does not collect.**
`@paperclipai/shared` is not linked in its `node_modules`. It passes 3
of 3 with an alias.

## Verification

Run these commands:

```sh
node scripts/typecheck-test-programs.mjs --low-memory
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs --low-memory --reuse-declarations
node --test scripts/typecheck-test-programs.test.mjs
```

Results on macOS (arm64), Node 26.12. CI uses Node 24, and its
`Typecheck + Release Registry` job also passes. At head `7d4b5e907a`,
the test programs, `tests/e2e`, and the script tests pass again with 0
errors. The times and peaks below come from the run before the two
latest merges of master:

| Check | Result |
| --- | --- |
| Test programs, `--low-memory` | Exit 0, 0 errors, 42 seconds, peak
1.78 GiB |
| Server layers, low memory | Exit 0, 0 errors, 38 seconds, peak 3.41
GiB |
| Test projects, including `tests/e2e` | Exit 0, 0 errors, 13 seconds,
peak 1.59 GiB |
| Script tests | 12 passed |
| Injected type error in each of 23 places | Each one failed its program
with TS2322 |
| Coverage check | 0 unchecked files, 10 seconds |

I did not run this in a 4 GiB container. The peaks above are `maximum
resident set size` for the largest single process.

**Runtime check of the fixes.** Types do not prove that a test still
works, so I ran the suites before the two latest merges of master:

| Suite | Result |
| --- | --- |
| Runner, full suite | 4,885 passed, 3 failed, 13 skipped |
| Sandbox providers, 10 packages | 939 passed, 12 failed, 36 skipped |
| Plugin SDK | 200 passed |
| `kv-demo-mcp-server` | 12 passed |
| Renamed UI test and its sibling | 4 passed |

All 15 failures exist without these fixes or come from the local
machine:

- **3 Cursor Cloud timeouts.** `artifact-delivery.test.ts` has 1 and
`cursor-cloud-driver.test.ts` has 2. They time out in a full local run,
and all 133 tests in those files with `codex-security-config.test.ts`
pass when run alone. They fail in the same way with those two files at
their unedited versions.
- **12 Kubernetes `file-sync.test.ts` failures.** They fail in the same
way before and after the fixes. The first failure is that
`/proc/self/fd` does not exist on macOS.

After each of the two latest merges of master, I ran only the Runner
test files that I changed:

| Merge | Result |
| --- | --- |
| `885c249cb9`, 8 files | 534 passed |
| `7d4b5e907a`, 7 files | 672 passed, 16 failed |

The 16 failures are in the two `source-reconciliation` test files. They
fail in the same way with master's unedited versions of those files. 15
of them fail with `ACPX sidecar exited at initialize`, so I think my
local build of the Rust and sidecar binaries is out of date. I did not
rebuild them to check. CI builds them from scratch, and all Runner jobs
pass in CI at `7d4b5e907a`.

**Not run:**

- `tests/e2e` and the 8 Playwright suites need a server, so most of them
have only compile checks. `playwright test --list` loads 308 tests from
the main e2e config.
- `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes/test/integration` needs
a cluster, so it has only compile checks.
- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run` or root `pnpm build`. Required
CI runs them.

**Reduced motion.** I ran 6 motion-sensitive Storybook specs in system
Chrome with a temporary config, once with `reduce` and once with
`no-preference`. Both runs had 45 passed and the same 5 failed. So
reduced motion did not change those results. The 5 failures do not
depend on motion. At least one comes from the browser, because system
Chrome prints `oklch(55.6% 0 0)` where the test expects `oklch(0.556 0
0)`. I did not run the other Storybook specs. The `storybook-visual`
label runs that workflow.

## Risks

- **A new lockfile to maintain.** A change to a provider `package.json`
now fails the typecheck job until someone refreshes
`scripts/typecheck-sandbox-providers/pnpm-lock.yaml`. The failure
message gives the command.
- **The job has a new install.** The step downloads provider SDKs, so it
depends on the npm registry. It uses `--frozen-lockfile` and
`--ignore-scripts`.
- **The local install replaces provider `node_modules`.** A contributor
with a standalone provider install must reinstall that provider after
running the script.
- **Reduced motion can change Storybook results.** See "Behavior change
for review". That workflow is not part of required CI.
- **Kubernetes plugin validation changed.** A release of this plugin
ships zod 4. Error wording changes, and very large integers are now
rejected. See "Production change for review".
- **Master moves fast.** Each merge of master brought new test code with
type errors, 27 so far. After this merges, the check reports those
errors in the pull request that adds them.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 38d8f37172 fix(build): enforce Node 24 across Paperclip (#11792)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip runs across the CLI, server, adapters, plugins, CI, and
container images.
> - These surfaces declared different Node.js versions from 20 through
24.
> - A newer `@types/node` major can expose APIs that the supported
runtime does not provide.
> - Node.js 20 is no longer a suitable project baseline, and Node.js 24
is the current LTS line.
> - This pull request sets Node.js 24.11.0 as one repository-wide
baseline, adds a drift check, and gives users actionable startup
guidance when their runtime is too old.
> - The benefit is one clear runtime contract for development, release,
installation, and published packages.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #2734

Refs #11727

Refs #739

## What Changed

- Require Node.js 24.11.0 or newer in all 42 package manifests and
runtime checks.
- Use Node.js 24 in GitHub Actions, Docker images, smoke images, sandbox
setup, portable installs, and esbuild targets.
- Align every direct `@types/node` declaration on `^24.0.0`.
- Prevent Dependabot from opening major `@types/node` upgrades without a
matching runtime decision.
- Add `.nvmrc` and a CI policy check for Node version drift.
- Update ACP version gates, tests, and user documentation for the new
minimum.
- Print a non-blocking warning on CLI and server startup when Node is
unsupported, with remediation through a version manager or the
documented downloaded `install.sh` workflow.
- Deduplicate that warning when `paperclipai run` boots the CLI and
server in the same process.

## Verification

- `node scripts/check-node-version-policy.mjs`
- `node --check scripts/check-node-version-policy.mjs`
- `node --check cli/esbuild.config.mjs`
- `node --check scripts/generate-npm-package-json.mjs`
- `bash -n scripts/install.sh scripts/test-install-sh-docker.sh
scripts/e2e-install-lifecycle.sh`
- Parsed all 42 package manifests and confirmed `engines.node` is
`>=24.11.0`.
- `git diff --check`
- `vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-install-command.test.ts` passed with
3 tests.
- `vitest run cli/src/node-version.test.ts` passed with 4 tests.
- Directly exercised the shared warning helper for unsupported-version
messaging and same-process deduplication.
- The focused exe.dev suite could not resolve the locally unbuilt plugin
SDK from this isolated worktree. A full offline workspace install was
also blocked because the package-manager signature verifier requires
registry access. The full suite was not run locally; draft CI performs a
clean install and evaluates the wider impact.

## Risks

- This is a breaking runtime change for users, plugins, and deployments
that still use Node.js 20 or 22.
- Published workspace packages will now produce an engine warning or
failure in strict package managers on older Node.js releases.
- Node.js 24 can reveal dependency, native module, Playwright, or agent
CLI compatibility issues in CI.
- The bootstrap installer now installs Node.js 24 when the current
runtime is older than 24.11.0.
- The portable sandbox fallback is pinned to Node.js 24.11.0 and depends
on that upstream tarball remaining available.
- Unsupported runtimes continue booting after a warning, so a later
incompatibility can still fail at its point of use.
- The CLI and server share the warning policy through the published
`@paperclipai/shared` package; packaging checks must keep that subpath
export available.
- This PR does not commit `pnpm-lock.yaml` because repository policy
assigns lockfile generation to CI.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 93291df5c8 fix(plugins): move dev SDK linking out of plugin postinstall scripts (#8255)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox-provider plugins (cloudflare, daytona, e2b, exe-dev,
kubernetes, modal, novita) and `plugin-workspace-diff` are published as
standalone npm packages, but during local dev they need the in-repo
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` symlinked in
> - Each of these plugins shipped a `postinstall` lifecycle script that
traversed *out* of its own package directory (`node
../../../../scripts/link-plugin-dev-sdk.mjs`) to do that linking
> - The publishable manifest is built by a `prepack` whitelist that
drops the `scripts` field, so npm consumers don't see the postinstall
today — but that safety property depends entirely on `prepack` running
on every publish. A publish that skips lifecycle scripts would ship a
tarball whose postinstall escapes its package directory at consumer
install time
> - This pull request removes the escape-the-package-dir lifecycle
script from every plugin source manifest and moves the dev linking to a
single root-level postinstall that iterates the excluded plugin
directories itself
> - The benefit is that plugin tarballs can no longer carry an
install-time script that reaches outside their own directory, regardless
of whether `prepack` runs

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This is a follow-up hardening change flagged during review of the Novita
sandbox provider PR (#7595).

**Problem (security):** Excluded plugin packages each carried
`"postinstall": "node ../../../../scripts/link-plugin-dev-sdk.mjs"`. The
relative path traverses outside the package root. Today the published
manifest is sanitized by a `prepack` whitelist that drops `scripts`, so
consumers are unaffected in the normal publish path. The risk is that
this is a defense-in-depth gap: if a publish ever skips lifecycle
scripts (e.g. `npm publish --ignore-scripts` is *not* used, or a tool
publishes the raw manifest), the tarball would ship a postinstall that
runs out-of-tree code at the consumer's install time.

## What Changed

- Added a single root `package.json` `postinstall`: `node
scripts/link-plugin-dev-sdk.mjs`.
- Rewrote `scripts/link-plugin-dev-sdk.mjs` to iterate the excluded
plugin directories itself (`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/*` + the
orchestration smoke example) instead of relying on each plugin to invoke
it from its own cwd. Preserves both prior behaviors: leave a real
installed SDK dir alone, and skip when already correctly symlinked
(idempotent).
- Removed `scripts.postinstall` from all 7 sandbox-provider plugins
(cloudflare, daytona, e2b, exe-dev, kubernetes, modal, novita).
- Removed `scripts.postinstall` from `plugin-workspace-diff` (a pnpm
workspace member — pnpm already links the SDK, so the script was a no-op
there).

## Verification

- `node scripts/link-plugin-dev-sdk.mjs` from repo root: links the SDK
into the excluded plugins and reports skipped (already-linked) dirs;
re-running is idempotent.
- `grep -r "link-plugin-dev-sdk" packages/plugins/*/package.json
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/*/package.json` returns no matches —
no plugin source manifest references the linker any longer.
- All affected `package.json` files re-validated as parseable JSON.

## Risks

Low risk. Dev-only tooling: the linker only runs at the repo root during
local install and only touches `node_modules/@paperclipai/plugin-sdk`
symlinks inside excluded plugin dirs. No change to published plugin
behavior or runtime code. Worst case if the root postinstall failed to
run, local dev of an excluded plugin would not find the SDK symlink —
easily re-run manually.

## Model Used

Claude Opus (claude-opus-4-8), extended reasoning, with tool use / code
execution in an agentic coding harness.

Jannes StubbemannandClaude Opus 4.8 05ab45225a feat(plugin-kubernetes): self-hostable Kubernetes sandbox provider (stage 1/3: plugin package) (#5790)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers are the seam that lets agent runs execute in
isolated environments; today the only first-party remote provider is
Daytona, a hosted third-party service
> - Self-hosters running Paperclip on their own infrastructure (often
Kubernetes already) have no first-party way to run agent sandboxes on a
cluster they control
> - That gap matters for teams with data-residency, sovereignty, or cost
constraints who cannot or will not send workloads to a hosted sandbox
service
> - This pull request adds a Kubernetes sandbox-provider plugin as a
standalone, workspace-excluded package: it implements every
SandboxProvider hook the Daytona provider does, on infrastructure the
operator owns
> - The benefit is that any Paperclip deployment with a Kubernetes
cluster gets multi-tenant, network-isolated, quota-bounded agent
sandboxes with zero new external dependencies

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing issue. Following the feature template:

- **Problem:** Paperclip's remote sandbox execution requires a hosted
third-party provider. Self-hosters cannot run agent sandboxes on their
own Kubernetes clusters with a first-party provider.
- **Proposed solution:** A `@paperclipai/plugin-kubernetes`
sandbox-provider plugin with two backends: long-lived sandboxes via the
[kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/agent-sandbox)
CRD (multi-command exec, adapter-install pattern) and one-shot
`batch/v1` Jobs (stable APIs only, no extra controllers).
- **Alternatives considered:** Driving kubectl from a generic shell
provider (no lifecycle/lease semantics), or requiring a hosted provider
(exactly the constraint this removes).

## What Changed

This is **stage 1 of 3** of a staged contribution (direction agreed with
maintainers): the plugin package alone. Stage 2 (server integration:
lease params, provider registration) and stage 3 (agent runtime images +
CI) are companion PRs that will be cross-linked from a comment here.

- New package `packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes`
(workspace-excluded, like the path already carved out in
`pnpm-workspace.yaml`): src, unit + kind integration tests, operator
prerequisite manifests, README, smoke-test guide
- Implements the full SandboxProvider hook surface the Daytona provider
implements: `validateConfig`, `probe`, `acquireLease`, `resumeLease`,
`releaseLease`, `destroyLease`, `realizeWorkspace`, `execute`
- Two backends: `sandbox-cr` (default; long-lived pod via the
agent-sandbox `Sandbox` CR, supports multi-command exec) and `job`
(one-shot `batch/v1` Job; nothing beyond k8s 1.27+ required)
- Per-run adapter resolution: one environment serves mixed harnesses;
the per-run `adapterType` hint is read through a local optional type
extension, so the plugin typechecks and builds against the current
plugin SDK and simply falls back to the environment's configured default
adapter until stage 2 lands
- Exec-env wrapping: the Kubernetes exec API carries no environment, so
commands are wrapped to receive the run's env
- Fast-upload interception for workspace realization, scoped per lease
- Per-tenant isolation: derived namespace per company, RBAC,
ResourceQuota, restricted-PSS pod security (runAsNonRoot, drop ALL,
seccomp RuntimeDefault, no SA token automount)
- Network egress policy in two flavors: native `NetworkPolicy` and
`CiliumNetworkPolicy` (FQDN allowlists)
- Image allowlist with glob matching, registry override, and per-run
image override validation
- Per-run Kubernetes Secrets carrying agent credentials, ownerRef'd to
the Job or Sandbox CR for cascade GC

## Verification

- Standalone build, exactly as the README documents:
  ```bash
  cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/kubernetes
  pnpm install --ignore-workspace
  pnpm test        # 147 unit tests, 17 files, all green
  pnpm typecheck   # clean against the in-repo plugin SDK on master
pnpm build # dist/ emitted, manifest + worker entrypoints present
  ```
- A kind-cluster end-to-end integration test is included
(`RUN_K8S_INTEGRATION_TESTS=1 pnpm test
test/integration/end-to-end-run.test.ts`)
- Beyond CI: this provider has been verified in a production
multi-tenant deployment against five harnesses (opencode, pi, codex,
gemini, claude code) with real billed runs

## Risks

- **Zero behavior change for any existing deployment.** The package is
workspace-excluded; nothing in the server imports or loads it until
stage 2's integration lands. No existing code paths are touched.
- The default `sandbox-cr` backend depends on an alpha CRD
(`agents.x-k8s.io/v1alpha1`); the README flags this and the `job`
backend uses only stable APIs as a fallback.
- Risk surface is confined to deployments that explicitly install and
configure the plugin.
- The default runtime images (`ghcr.io/paperclipai/agent-runtime-*`) are
published by the stage 3 companion PR (#7934); until that lands,
deployments must point `runtimeImage` at their own images.
