Nicky LeachandPaperclip a14e51d592 refactor(environment): classify environment capabilities from static driver definitions (#12045)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environment runtime drivers provide workspace, lease, and custom
image behavior
> - Runtime code used driver identity checks and several
capability-specific members
> - These checks spread capability rules across the runtime and made new
drivers harder to verify
> - This pull request adds one general capability classifier and one
static driver support table
> - The benefit is one fail-closed capability model that keeps current
behavior and supports future drivers

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Environment runtime capability checks for workspace realization, custom
images, lease capabilities, and duplex authorization.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)

**Current behavior**

The runtime selects several capability paths from driver identity and
separate capability members. Custom image gates also trust provider
declarations without checking every matching live worker method.

**Proposed behavior**

The runtime uses one general capability classifier and one static
support table. Custom image gates require both the provider declaration
and every matching live worker method. The public capability names
remain unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

The change keeps capability rules in one place. It removes identity
conditions from runtime consumers and makes unsupported drivers fail
closed.

**Breaking changes**

None. The public names sandboxCapabilities, sandboxProviders, and
EffectiveSandboxCapabilities remain available.

## What Changed

- Add classifyEnvironmentCapabilities and static support definitions for
all four driver families.
- Add resolveCapabilities to every environment runtime driver.
- Move driver traits into environment-driver-traits.ts and migrate
runtime consumers.
- Require provider declarations and matching live worker methods for all
custom image gates.
- Migrate duplex authorization to the general resolver and remove the
dead sandbox-only member.
- Delete the unused resolveEffectiveSandboxCapabilities wrapper and
update its test.

## Verification

- pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-capability-contract.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts — 92 tests pass
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-driver-traits.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/general-capability-classifier.test.ts — 12 tests
pass
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-custom-images-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-capabilities.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex-kill-switch.test.ts
— 66 tests pass

## Risks

The main risk is a capability gate that denies a valid driver or permits
an invalid driver. The static support matrix, live worker method checks,
and regression tests reduce this risk. No database, public API, or
published type name changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The deployment
does not provide a separate context-window value.

417336f8be fix(workspaces): attach PR preparation to existing branches (#11703)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution workspaces isolate an agent task from the primary
checkout.
> - Pull request preparation can need a branch that already contains
completed work.
> - The workspace policy could not require an exact existing branch.
> - Workspace cleanup also treated worktree creation as branch
ownership.
> - This pull request adds an exact existing-branch policy and separate
branch ownership metadata.
> - The benefit is safe pull request preparation that preserves every
existing commit and operator-owned branch.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A pull request preparation run could not pin its execution workspace to
an exact existing branch. Workspace reuse and cleanup could also confuse
worktree creation with branch ownership.

**Expected behavior**

The run must attach only to the requested branch in an isolated Git
worktree. It must fail if the branch is missing, busy, or inconsistent.
Cleanup must not delete a branch that Paperclip does not own.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a branch that contains completed work.
2. Configure a pull request preparation task to use that branch.
3. Start the task and observe that the prior policy cannot require the
exact branch.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This behavior reproduces on the base revision before this pull request.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with isolated Git worktrees.

## What Changed

- Add `existingBranch` to the execution workspace policy and shared
validation contracts.
- Require `existingBranch` to use an isolated Git worktree and reject
conflicting branch templates.
- Attach to the exact branch without creating, renaming, resetting, or
deleting it.
- Track branch ownership separately from worktree creation and use that
ownership during cleanup.
- Return HTTP 422 for invalid existing-branch settings on every
issue-producing route.
- Add a bounded repair script for existing pull request preparation
tasks.
- Add focused policy, route, heartbeat, runtime, and ready-comment
tests.
- Document the exact-branch behavior and safety rules.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-existing-branch-validation-status.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-exposure.test.ts
server/src/services/workspace-runtime-ready-comment.test.ts` passed 335
tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm test:run` passed 4,431 tests. Two unrelated embedded-Postgres
setup hooks timed out under aggregate load. Their isolated rerun passed
74 tests.
- `pnpm build` passed for all workspace projects.
- The two review regressions passed with 139 unrelated tests skipped.
- All latest-head CI gates passed after one unrelated timing-sensitive
test passed on rerun.
- Greptile scored the latest head 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- Invalid workspace settings now return HTTP 422 instead of a generic
validation response.
- The exact branch must already exist and must not be checked out by
another worktree.
- The new policy fails closed when it cannot prove branch identity or
ownership.
- This change has no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex from the GPT-5 family assisted with this change. The
runtime did not expose its exact deployment ID or context window. The
agent used high-reasoning mode, repository tools, shell execution, and
code execution.

dcac49a4fd feat(workspaces): defer isolated setup until runtime start (#10653)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Isolated workspaces give each task a safe and reproducible checkout.
> - The existing setup cloned the development database before an agent
needed to run the app.
> - This made worktree creation slower and heavier for tasks that never
start a service.
> - Runtime services already use one server start path for heartbeat,
operator, and startup recovery flows.
> - This pull request moves heavy setup to that start path and keeps
worktree creation lean.
> - The benefit is faster isolated workspace creation with the same
reliable runtime setup when a service starts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related pull request: #10652 covers the initial deferred
database-seeding slice. This pull request supersedes it with end-to-end
runtime provisioning and safe cleanup.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves isolated worktree creation, runtime service startup, and
isolated instance cleanup.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: CLI worktree setup, server runtime orchestration, shared
workspace contracts, and development scripts.

**Current behavior**

Paperclip seeds an isolated development database during worktree
creation. It can also leave an isolated instance directory after
workspace teardown. This work happens even when no runtime service
starts.

**Proposed behavior**

Paperclip creates the worktree with a lean eager setup. It runs an
idempotent runtime provision command before the first managed service
spawn. Concurrent starts share one provision attempt. Teardown removes
the isolated instance safely.

**Reason and benefit**

Many agent tasks only edit and test code. They do not need a running
Paperclip instance. Deferring the database seed reduces workspace
startup cost while preserving automatic setup for tasks that start the
app.

**Breaking changes**

None. The new runtime provision command is optional. Existing workspace
behavior is unchanged when it is absent.

## What Changed

- Split Paperclip worktree setup into a lean eager script and an
idempotent runtime provision script.
- Added `runtimeProvisionCommand` to project, issue, realized workspace,
and persisted workspace contracts.
- Added a per-workspace provision mutex before local service spawn for
heartbeat, operator, and startup recovery flows.
- Added a persisted `provisioning` service state and the
`workspace_runtime_provision` operation phase.
- Kept provision time outside the service readiness timeout and made
failed attempts visible and retryable.
- Reclaimed isolated instance data during safe workspace teardown.
- Serialized deferred database seeding across processes and bound
teardown to the instance root captured in persisted workspace metadata.
- Added tests for config flow, concurrency, retry, no-op behavior,
readiness timing, scripts, CLI commands, and cleanup.
- Documented the eager and runtime provisioning contracts.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` (server: 3,201 passed; UI: 3,345 passed; the CLI phase
exposed one environment-sensitive AWS doctor assertion because the agent
runtime injects static AWS credentials)
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts -t 'passes AWS doctor checks when
non-secret provider config is present'`
- Focused runtime tests cover serialized provisioning, retry after
stderr failure, absent-command no-op behavior, operation logging,
persisted state order, and readiness timeout exclusion.
- Focused CLI and cleanup tests cover concurrent seed serialization,
stale-lock fail-closed behavior, persisted instance ownership, and
rewritten sibling pointers.

## Risks

- A faulty runtime provision script blocks service startup. Paperclip
records stderr, marks the service failed, and retries on the next start.
- Concurrent service requests share an in-process provision attempt,
while the seed command uses an atomic filesystem lock across processes.
A stale lock fails closed and requires an operator to verify no seed is
running before removing it.
- Isolated instance cleanup is destructive. The cleanup service
validates ownership and path containment before removal.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 53bcf3897f feat: sync @-mentioned projects into remote sandboxes (confined sandbox transport, flag ON) (#10564)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The run layer must move project context into the sandbox that
executes the agent
> - Local sandboxes already stage referenced projects for @-mentions
> - Remote confined sandboxes dropped the whole referenced set, so the
agent lost needed files and paths
> - This pull request keeps the confined sandbox transport aligned with
the local behavior for referenced projects
> - It does this behind a remote-only flag that defaults on, while SSH
keeps the old drop-only path
> - The benefit is that remote runs can read the same referenced project
context that local runs already provide

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change touches server orchestration, sandbox
transport, and observability.

**Problem or motivation**

A run can @-mention another project. Local targets stage each referenced
project and give the agent a path. Remote confined sandboxes dropped the
full referenced set, so the agent could not read those project files or
paths.

**Proposed solution**

Enable referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox transport behind
`PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`, which defaults on. Keep
the SSH transport out of scope and keep it dropping referenced projects.
Repoint each referenced workspace hint at its staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directory. Publish
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON` on the confined sandbox lane. Count each
per-project remote staging failure as a `staging` failure in the
requested-vs-synced metrics.

**Alternatives considered**

Keep the remote path drop-only. That keeps the gap open. Move the change
into SSH too. That expands scope beyond the target transport and adds
risk.

**Roadmap alignment**

No matching item in `ROADMAP.md` showed up in this review.

**Additional context**

The change lands in three commits. The first commit opens the gate for
the confined sandbox transport. The second commit repoints the workspace
hints and publishes the workspace map. The third commit records
per-project staging failure data.

## What Changed

- Opened remote referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox
transport behind `PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`.
- Repointed referenced workspace hints to the staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directories and published
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON`.
- Counted per-project remote staging failures as first-class `staging`
failures in the requested-vs-synced observability.

## Verification

- The pushed ref
`refs/heads/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox` resolves to
the authorized submit SHA.
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox`
shows exactly the three expected commits.
- The handoff reports server typecheck clean, adapter-utils typecheck
clean, and the listed unit tests passing.
- The handoff also reports no open review comments and no Greptile score
yet.

## Risks

- The change touches authorization and sandbox path handling, so
regressions could block remote runs or expose the wrong project context.
- The new flag defaults on, so any bug in the remote path affects normal
remote use.
- SSH stays out of scope, so the two transport paths must remain
distinct.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex. Tool use enabled. Context window not reported in
this run.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 15ce70dc18 feat(server): thread plural referenced-project workspaces through run prep (#10448)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates work for autonomous companies.
> - A run needs a workspace view before execution starts.
> - That view now needs to cover one anchor project and more referenced
projects.
> - Those extra workspaces must stay separate and must not change the
anchor path when the feature stays off.
> - This PR threads plural workspace data through run prep behind a
default-off kill switch.
> - It also keeps extra project workspaces isolated and makes the
realization contract round-trip the new shape.
> - The benefit is safer run prep for referenced projects without
changing the current default path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This PR does not link a public GitHub issue.
It follows the internal run-prep task for plural referenced-project
workspaces.

Problem:
- Run prep resolves the anchor project today, but it does not yet carry
each referenced project into the run workspace view.
- That gap blocks runs that need a second repo or sibling project during
preparation.

Proposed solution:
- Thread a plural workspace result through run prep.
- Keep the anchor path unchanged when the kill switch is off.
- Resolve each referenced project into its own managed checkout
directory when the flag is on.

Alternatives considered:
- Keep one shared workspace and layer the extra repos into it. Rejected
because it would blur isolation and make failures harder to bound.
- Upload the extra workspaces immediately. Rejected because this PR only
prepares the data path.

Roadmap alignment:
- This change sits in the workspace and sandbox path.
- It matches the roadmap work on workspace strategy and cloud or sandbox
agents.

## What Changed

- Added `additionalWorkspaces[]` to the run workspace result.
- Split workspace resolution into an anchor path and an optional
referenced-project path behind `PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC`.
- Kept per-project failure isolation so one bad clone does not stop the
run.
- Keyed managed workspace directories by `projectId` so sibling
workspaces stay separate.
- Added `additionalSources[]` to the workspace realization request and
kept read and write paths backward compatible.
- Added tests for the anchor-only path, the new workspace shape, and the
per-project directory rule.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-project-env.test.ts` 21/21
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` 98/98

## Risks

Low risk. The new path stays behind a default-off kill switch, so the
anchor flow does not change when the flag is off.
The main risk is a bad referenced project clone. That case now drops
only the affected project and keeps the run alive.
The shared type change also needs every consumer to use the new array
field where extra workspaces matter.

OpenAI Codex (GPT-5; exact internal model ID not exposed in this

DottaandPaperclip 4e00818574 fix(runtime): support in-place workspace realization (#10230)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane people use to coordinate AI agents
and their execution environments.
> - Environment realization decides where an agent runs and which
filesystem and toolchain are authoritative.
> - Copy-based realization is unsafe for container-anchored tasks
because absolute paths such as `/app` can point outside the synchronized
tree and task-specific binaries may be absent.
> - That mismatch can let an agent successfully verify work in a phantom
writable path while sync-back silently discards the result.
> - Existing task environments already provide the authoritative
filesystem and toolchain, so they should be executed in place rather
than copied.
> - Copy mode still needs explicit confinement rules so aliases target
the synchronized workspace and unsynchronized writable paths fail
visibly.
> - This pull request adds typed realization metadata, propagates the
authoritative root through orchestration, and teaches Codex to honor it.
> - The benefit is that container-anchored tasks operate on
verifier-visible state with the intended tools, while copy mode remains
safe and backward compatible.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this defect.

GitHub duplicate searches for in-place execution, workspace realization,
and authoritative workspace roots found no related pull request to link.

### What happened?

Environment-backed agent runs were always realized through a copied
workspace. Tasks anchored to absolute container paths could therefore
write outside the synchronized tree, and task-provided toolchains were
unavailable in the copy. A run could report success even though
sync-back discarded its output.

### Expected behavior

Existing task environments should run against their real authoritative
root and toolchain. Copy-mode runs should map declared absolute aliases
into the synchronized tree and reject writable paths that cannot be
restored.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run a Codex task environment whose required files live under `/app`
or `/workspace` and whose required binary exists only in the task
container.
2. Observe that copy realization changes the effective
filesystem/toolchain or permits writes outside the synchronized root.
3. Complete and verify the task inside the agent sandbox.
4. Observe that the verifier cannot see out-of-tree artifacts or that
task-specific commands were unavailable.

### Reproduction context

- Paperclip commit: `3a16b91217483d2c233926de5b7f7bc3a1077924`
- Deployment: built from source in a task-container execution
environment
- Adapter: Codex local
- Database: not database-related
- Access context: agent execution

## What Changed

- Added typed `copy | in_place` workspace-realization metadata,
authoritative roots, confined aliases, and outbound restore paths to
shared execution-target contracts.
- Selected in-place realization for existing task environments and
skipped archive prepare/restore when the authoritative environment is
used directly.
- Propagated the authoritative root into adapter context so Codex uses
it for cwd and `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_*` semantics, including ACP
execution.
- Bound copy-mode aliases such as `/app` to the synchronized workspace
and rejected writable out-of-tree paths without explicit restore
mappings.
- Added focused regression coverage while preserving existing copy-mode
archive restore behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/local-process-sandbox.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts` — 48 passed,
4 skipped.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -u
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN pnpm test:run` — passed across all general and
serialized Vitest shards.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Codex `k=1` acceptance run completed July 24, 2026 at 23:54:30 UTC
with 4 completed, 0 exceptions, and mean reward 1.0: `build-cython-ext`,
`openssl-selfsigned-cert`, `prove-plus-comm`, and `sqlite-db-truncate`
each received terminal grade 1.0 against real task-environment paths and
toolchains.

## Risks

- In-place mode deliberately exposes the authoritative task root to the
adapter; incorrect environment metadata could point execution at the
wrong root. Typed metadata and focused orchestration tests cover
selection and propagation.
- Copy-mode writable-path validation is stricter and may reject
previously accepted unsafe configurations. The rejection is intentional
and produces a visible error instead of silently losing output.
- The acceptance run is focused on four Codex task-environment
workloads, not a broad cross-adapter benchmark. Existing copy-mode
archive tests and the full repository suite remain green.

were not exposed to this runtime. Capabilities used: extended reasoning,
repository editing, shell execution, test/build execution, Git, GitHub
CLI, and Paperclip API tool use.

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.
