DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 d8dbe55368 fix(workspaces): let a missing task repository ref be corrected (#19072)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can ask Paperclip to prepare a task repository at a specific
ref
> - Paperclip records that request and clones the repository at the next
admission
> - Paperclip did not check that the requested ref exists
> - When the ref was absent, every admission retried the same checkout
and failed setup
> - A corrected request was refused as a conflicting receipt, so the
task stayed blocked with no repair path
> - This pull request identifies a missing ref and lets a corrected
request replace it while nothing was published
> - The benefit is that a bad ref becomes a repairable error instead of
a permanent setup failure

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
An agent asked for a catalog repository at ref `main`. The repository
default branch is `master` and has no `main` branch. Each later
admission failed with `setup_failed`: `git checkout main` reported
`pathspec 'main' did not match`. The task failed admission for more than
a week and became blocked. A new request with ref `master` returned 409
because the receipt with ref `main` already existed.

**Expected behavior**
Paperclip should report that the requested ref does not exist. A new
request with a valid ref should replace the bad ref when no checkout
exists.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a repository whose only branch is `master`.
2. Request it as a task repository with `ref: "main"`.
3. Admit the task. Preparation fails, and the receipt goes to
`needs_repair`.
4. Request the same repository with `ref: "master"`. Before this change,
the request returns 409.

## What Changed

- `managed-repository-checkout.ts`: When `git checkout <ref>` fails with
Git's unknown-ref message, and each quiet `rev-parse --verify` probe
(`<ref>^{commit}`, `refs/remotes/origin/<ref>^{commit}`) exits 1, throw
`RepositoryRefNotFoundError`. The message tells the caller to request
the repository again with an existing branch, tag, or commit. Other
checkout failures keep their original cause.
- `execution-workspace-repositories.ts`: Record `failureCode:
"repository_ref_not_found"` for that error. Other failures keep
`repository_preparation_failed`.
- `execution-workspace-repositories.ts`: A request for the same
repository with a different ref replaces the ref only when all of these
are true: the receipt is `needs_repair` with `repository_ref_not_found`,
it has no pinned commit, the workspace is local (no remote authority),
and the checkout path is absent. The update is conditional on that state
and writes a `workspace.repository.ref_corrected` activity entry. All
other ref changes keep the existing 409 conflict.
- `execution-workspace-repositories.ts`: Local admission re-reads each
receipt inside the checkout lock and claims it with a conditional update
on its current ref. A correction that commits after the receipts were
listed is used, not discarded.
- Tests: one regression for the full missing-ref path, and one safety
test that keeps the receipt immutable when files exist at the checkout
path or when the failure was not a missing ref.

## Verification

- Red before the fix: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/task-workspace-repositories-persistence.test.ts` failed
with `expected ... /ref "main" does not exist/ but got 'Failed to
prepare managed checkout fo…'`.
- Green after the fix: the same file passes (11 tests). The new test
admits with ref `main` (fails, `repository_ref_not_found`, no checkout),
corrects to `master`, admits again (ready, pinned to the source commit),
and then confirms that a later ref change after publication still
returns a conflict.
- The regression also holds the checkout lock while admission waits,
corrects the ref, and then releases the lock. Without the in-lock
re-read it fails with 409; with it, admission publishes the corrected
ref.
- `heartbeat-managed-clone-credentials.test.ts` passes: an
authentication failure during checkout keeps its cause and is not
reported as a missing ref.
- Other checkout suites pass (9 files, 317 tests): reopen, base storage,
expiration, project env, rehome, nested clone migration, object cache,
trust, source copy privacy.
- Neighbor suites pass: `managed-repository-checkout.test.ts`,
`task-workspace-repositories.test.ts`,
`task-workspace-repositories-trust.test.ts`,
`heartbeat-project-repositories.test.ts` (47 tests). In one parallel run
under heavy machine load, `heartbeat-project-repositories.test.ts` had
timing failures in different tests on each run. The same file passed
alone with this change (47/47) and on master.
- `tsc --noEmit` for `server` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The new correction path is narrow and fails closed. Remote
(sandbox) workspaces keep the existing conflict because the control
plane cannot inspect the remote checkout.
- Existing receipts that failed before this change have
`repository_preparation_failed`. They need one more failed admission to
get `repository_ref_not_found` before a correction is accepted.
- No schema change. `failure_code` is free text.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, agentic coding with
tool use (shell, file edit, browser read-only diagnostics).

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 11ac90e31f fix(build): typecheck server/src/__tests__ and fix every type error (#18739)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server has about 1,100 test and helper files in
`server/src/__tests__`
> - `server/tsconfig.json` excludes that directory, Vitest does not
check types, and no script runs the tsconfig in that directory
> - So a test can call a function with the wrong arguments and still
pass, and no tool reports it
> - This gap hid 2,168 real type errors, and some of them hid tests that
did not test what they claim
> - This pull request fixes all of these errors and adds the directory
to the server layers from paperclipai/paperclip#18737
> - The benefit is that a type error in a server test now fails the
typecheck, with no baseline and no backlog

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18737, which is merged and added the server
layers. Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18738, which is merged and checks the
test projects outside `pnpm -r`, so it is not a duplicate. Refs
paperclipai/paperclip#18137, which records that this directory has no
check.

**What happened?**

No tool checked the types of 1,074 of the 1,101 files in
`server/src/__tests__`. I searched `package.json`, the workflows, and
all tsconfig files. 27 files are in the program of another tsconfig, and
these 27 have 0 errors. 11 of the 27 are in
`helpers/maintenance/tsconfig.json`. No script ran that project when I
measured this. paperclipai/paperclip#18738 now runs it.

**Expected behavior**

The server typecheck checks these files, and a type error fails the
check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On the base commit, run `tsc -p server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json
--noEmit`. It reports 6,536 errors and needs 12.3 GiB.
2. Add a type error to any file in `server/src/__tests__`.
3. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`. It passes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

I measured the error breakdown below on commit `8dfd632452`, with
TypeScript 7.0.2. The branch now includes master up to
paperclipai/paperclip#18865.

**Deployment mode**

Not applicable. This issue applies to development and CI. No production
source file in the server changes.

### Error breakdown

Each row adds one change to the row above.

| Step | Total errors | Change | Cause |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Config as committed | 6,536 | | |
| Add `src/types/*.d.ts` | 4,447 | -2,089 | Config. The Express request
types were missing. |
| Set `rootDir` to the repository root | 2,436 | -2,011 | Config. |
| Set `allowImportingTsExtensions` | 2,181 | -255 | Config. Vitest
accepts `.ts` imports. |
| Add `ES2024.Promise` to `lib` | 2,138 | -43 | Config. Node 24 has
`Promise.withResolvers`. |
| Set `allowJs` for `.mjs` imports | 2,148 | +10 | Config. It removes 8
`TS7016` errors and shows new real errors. |
| Set `declaration` to false | 2,142 | -6 | Config. Tests emit nothing.
|
| Count only files in `server/src` | 2,058 | -84 | Other packages: 53
Daytona, 29 Runner test, 2 UI. |

So 4,478 of the 6,536 errors (69%) came from config or scope, and 2,058
are real type errors in 314 files. The 29 Runner test errors are also
real, which gives 2,087 errors. Tests that master added after this
measurement had 81 more errors, so this pull request fixes 2,168 errors.

This table classifies the first 2,058 errors.

| Kind of real error | Errors |
| --- | --- |
| Wrong argument or assignment type | 1,023 |
| Stale or partial fixture objects | 525 |
| Property that the type does not have | 317 |
| Missing narrowing of null or unknown | 101 |
| Implicit any | 60 |
| Missing name or module | 16 |
| Other | 16 |

### What the type errors hid

Most errors were stale fixtures and loose mocks. These errors hid real
test problems, and this pull request fixes them:

- **A test that never ran.** `instrumentation.test.ts` required
`sdk-trace-base`, which is not installed. So 3 span tests were skipped.
They now run and pass.
- **Assertions that could not fail.**
- `issue-thread-interactions-service` used a company ID as an issue ID.
- `status-card-evaluation-work` compared `[]` with `[]` in a rollback
check.
- `slack-conversation-lifecycle` read `item.issueId`, which does not
exist.
  - `email-channels` used a permission key that does not exist.
- `heartbeat-project-env` imported `LOW_TRUST_REVIEW_PRESET`, which is
not exported. The value was undefined.
- **Postgres processes that did not stop.** 11 test files called `stop`
on the test database helper. That method does not exist, and the helper
method is `cleanup`.
- **Arguments that the service ignored.**
- `methodKey` is now `connectionMethodKey` in the Daytona, Unikraft,
1Password, and Railway tests.
- 108 calls passed `"owner-user"` to a parameter that expects an options
object.
- 9 chat wizard fixtures passed `managementContext` as `source`, so they
ran `existing_app` and not `manifest`.
  - 2 tests passed a `{ userId }` actor that the function ignores.
- Inserts into `environments` passed a `companyId` column that the table
does not have.
- **Problems in tests that master added during this work.**
- `sandbox-creation-operations` read `database.connectionString` when an
external test database was set. In that mode `database` is undefined, so
the fixture would stop with a TypeError. It now uses the external URL.
- `idle-completed-history` set a Dot operation to `dispatched`. That is
a Muse status, and the Dot type does not have it. The fixture now uses
`admitted`, which is a real in-flight Dot status.

### Possible product problems, not changed

These may be real problems in production code or types. I did not change
them, because this pull request does not change production behavior:

- `decisions-service` `service.create` does not validate the lenient
`cancel_issue_tree` input.
- `createConnection` ignores `input.connectionPurpose`.
- The `createConnection` route schema default stores `{}` for
`transportConfig`.
- `prepareManagedAiRuntime` accepted the invalid value `mode:
"connection"`.
- `createBinding` accepts invalid `projectionClass` strings outside
class 3.
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` forwards an untyped `repoRef` by
spread.
- `routineVariableSchema.label` is optional, but `RoutineVariable.label`
is required.
- `ToolRunContext.projectId` may be too strict.
- `withdrawInteraction` reads `issue.status`, which its type omits.
- `issueService.list` and `reconcileNativeFinalizations` omit fields
that they return at runtime.
- `createGitHubExternalObjectProvider` handles `tokenProvider: null`,
but its type forbids this value.

## What Changed

- Fixed the 2,168 type errors. The diff changes 322 test and helper
files.
- Corrected `server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. Editors and the
typecheck now read the same options and report the same errors.
- Added three `test-tree` layers to
`server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`. They read the server layers as
declarations, and any error fails them. A hash of the path selects the
shard, so a new file does not move other files.
- Added `server/scripts/typecheck-stubs/daytona-sdk.d.ts`. Server tests
reach Daytona plugin source, and the root install does not have
`@daytonaio/sdk`.
- Changed two imports in `ui/src/lib/issue-execution-policy.ts` to use
`.js` extensions, because server tests import this file.
- Made `declarationsConfig` and `--declarations-only` skip the
`test-tree` layers, because these layers emit nothing. Other projects
read only the source layers. Added a test for this.
- Updated `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

Run these commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run server/scripts/typecheck-layers.test.mjs
```

Results on macOS (arm64), Node 24, 16 cores. Each check ran after the
merge of paperclipai/paperclip#18738 unless the row says otherwise:

| Check | Commit | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Server typecheck, `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1`, all 7 layers |
`6e45a08573` | Exit 0, 0 errors, 62 seconds, peak 3.52 GiB |
| `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs --low-memory` | `a3306bd13e`
| Exit 0, 0 errors, 42 seconds, peak 3.25 GiB |
| The same script with `--reuse-declarations` | `1b878aabc0` | Exit 0, 0
errors |
| `typecheck-layers.test.mjs` and `live-recovery-work.test.ts` |
`01db5634e4` | 90 passed. These include real compiler runs for a pass, a
type error, and an invalid tsconfig. |
| `tsconfig.declarations.json` after a full server typecheck |
`0fb1e4fb0a` | It references only `below`, `cycle`, and `above`. No
generated config names a `tsconfig.layers.json` file. |
| Owned runtime test in `idle-completed-history` | `e8f2f448ac` |
Passed, with the fix that master later replaced |
| `idle-incoming-wake`, `plugin-idle-manager`, and the changed
`chat-channels` test | `6e45a08573` | 30 passed |
| Runner `native-execution.test.ts` | `eab4dcc1f4` | 114 passed |
| The 19 server test files that changed since `eab4dcc1f4`, and
`typecheck-layers.test.mjs` | `259737b700` | 4,275 of 4,277 passed. The
2 failures are in `chat-channels` and are in the list of 7 below. |

The peak is the largest single process, from `/usr/bin/time -l`. Peaks
for the server typecheck were between 3.42 GiB and 3.56 GiB across 8
runs. Peaks for the test projects were 3.25 GiB and 3.37 GiB across 2
runs. I did not measure a cgroup.

**Runtime check of the fixes.** Types do not prove that a test still
works. So I ran all 309 changed server test files, 11,929 tests, before
the rebase onto paperclipai/paperclip#18737:

| Result | Tests | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Passed | 11,913 | Includes the 2 tests and the 54 `dot-runner` tests
that passed in a later run, as described below. |
| Failed | 7 | The same 7 tests also fail on the commit before the
fixes. |
| Skipped | 9 | These tests have their own skip conditions: `sentry` 5,
and 1 each in `bundled-plugin-registration`, `customer-success-cloud`,
`onepassword-connection`, and `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise`. |

The 7 tests that fail with and without this change, on my machine:

- 3 tests in `chat-channels` and `email-channels` stop with `ENOENT` on
a `SKILL.md` file. The path is in the parent checkout, above the git
worktree that I used, so I expect that the worktree is the cause. I did
not prove this.
- `workspace-instance-cleanup` compares `/private/var/...` with
`/var/...`. This is a macOS symlink difference.
- 2 tests in `git-reproducible-managed-checkouts` get
`unknown_base_git_files` and expect `unpushed_managed_checkout`. I did
not find the cause.
- 1 more test in `chat-channels`, `materializes direct external-chat
finals once`, gets `undefined`. I did not find the cause.

CI is the check for these 7 tests. `ci / verify` passed on `eab4dcc1f4`.

Failures during this work:

- My fix to `agent-runtime-connector-access` changed an invalid
permission key in the setup, but not in the assertion. The runtime check
found this. I corrected the assertion, and the file passes.
- `heartbeat-plugin-environment` failed one wait in the full run. It
passed three times alone, so I think that load caused the failure. It
can fail again under load.
- `dot-runner` skipped all 54 tests in the full run because `cargo` was
not on my `PATH`. It then passed 54 of 54 with the toolchain on the
`PATH`.
- My first `lib` value removed the default DOM types, and the error
count went up by 375. I added the DOM libraries.
- My Daytona stub with bare `any` left 48 errors, because generic
helpers then inferred `unknown`. I added shapes that return promises.
- One fix to `agent-secrets-routes` used `class_3_static_lease`, and the
test failed. That class allows only specific paths. I reverted to
`unclassified`.
- `ci / General tests (server (8/12))` failed on `259737b700` because of
the flaky port in `idle-completed-history`. paperclipai/paperclip#18853
fixed this test on master, so this pull request keeps that fix.

**Audit of the diff.** I counted these patterns in added and removed
lines, to find fixes that only hide an error:

| Pattern | Added | Removed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `@ts-ignore` | 0 | 0 |
| `@ts-expect-error` | 0 | 1 |
| `.skip` | 0 | 0 |
| `as any` | 9 | 9 |
| `: any` | 11 | 2 |
| `as never` | 8 | 2 |
| `as unknown as` | 35 | 4 |
| `Promise<unknown>` | 16 | 5 |
| `expect(` | 128 | 113 |

No hunk removes more `expect(` calls than it adds. Three removals of
test content were intentional, and I checked each one:

- `muse-control` removed `signalToken`. Line 1012 already asserts that
it is absent.
- `merged-pr-confirmation-sweep` removed legacy aliases. Other tests
cover them.
- `heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment` removed a `finalize` branch
that no test row can reach.

Some partial fixtures stay unchecked through `as unknown as` and
`Promise<unknown>`, mostly in `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`
and `issue-comment-reopen-routes`.

**Accuracy of the check.** One program over the tree and the three
shards reported the same errors at the same positions. Memory, as the
peak of the largest process on one thread, was 3.93 GiB for one program
and 2.43 GiB for the largest shard. I measured these two values before
the fixes.

Not run or not proven:

- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, or a root `pnpm build`. I
expect CI to run the full suites.
- I did not run the 4 GiB container check, or the full
`scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. The peaks above come from macOS, so
they are not a Linux cgroup measurement.
- I did not run the UI typecheck after the merges.
- `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise` is skipped, so its `cleanup`
fix did not run.

## Risks

- **A large diff in test files.** 328 files change. A pull request that
edits the same tests can get merge conflicts. New tests on master can
also add type errors before this merges. Any such error fails this check
and needs a fix here.
- **A higher cost for changes to source types.** A change to a type can
add errors in test files that the author did not touch. The author must
then fix them. This is the purpose of the check, but it is new work.
- **Changed test behavior.** Some tests now run paths that they did not
run before, such as the 9 chat wizard fixtures and the 3 span tests.
They pass here, but they can be more sensitive to timing or to the
environment.
- **The Daytona stub can go stale.** The stub is written by hand. If the
plugin uses a new SDK member, the typecheck reports an error until
someone updates the stub.
- **The release path.** `release-verify.yml` and `scripts/release.sh`
run `pnpm -r typecheck`, so they now run this check.
- **The tsconfig change.** The test transform reads
`server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. The options that I changed are for
type checks, and the runs above passed.
- **A gap that remains.** Tsconfigs in `packages/paperclip-runner` and
in most sandbox provider plugins exclude `*.test.ts`. This check does
not read most of those test files, so they can still drift. That work is
separate from this pull request.

DottaandPaperclip 8f1905d34d fix: provision all project repositories for local and sandbox tasks (#13442)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Projects can now attach several source repositories.
> - Task preparation still treated these sources as alternative
workspaces.
> - Sandbox sync preserved Git history only for the selected repository.
> - A task needs every attached repository to complete work across the
project.
> - This pull request prepares all distinct project repositories and
preserves their separate Git histories through sandbox restore.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A user reported that a project with two repositories received only the
first repository in Daytona. Repository-only project rows also reached
the agent with null local paths. Managed checkouts with matching
repository names could resolve to the same directory.

**Expected behavior**

Local and sandbox tasks receive every distinct repository attached to
their project. Repository-only sources work without preconfigured local
folders. Each repository keeps its own Git history and working files.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a project with two repository sources and no local folder
paths.
2. Assign a task to the project and run it in Daytona.
3. Inspect the task workspace and the repository paths exposed to the
agent.
4. Observe that the original implementation supplies only the selected
checkout.

Related change: #13010 added multiple repository selection. The open
repository-catalog proposals #11234 and #11228 cover a different data
model. This fix uses the existing project workspaces.

## What Changed

- Materialize each additional distinct repository as an editable
checkout inside the task root. Seed configured local sources with their
current working files and retain task edits across runs.
- Pass materialized repository paths to local agents and native sandbox
task prompts. Apply existing run-scoped Git credentials to each remote
clone.
- Preserve each repository's Git history, dirty files, and restore
baseline during sandbox staging and durable recovery. Apply each
repository's ignore rules and the operator's workspace exclusions.
- Keep same-name managed repositories in separate directories. Report
additional clone failures before the task starts.
- Add task-level, checkout, sandbox round-trip, environment-hint, and
recovery-descriptor regression coverage. Document checkout and restore
behavior.

## Verification

- Red: the original implementation fails the sandbox test because the
second repository has no Git directory. It also fails the same-name
checkout test and both real-database task tests because repository hints
have no local path.
- Green: focused tests pass for one and two repository-only sources,
local source edits, clone failures, per-repository credentials, separate
Git histories, ignored files, and recovery from remote or durable seed
state.
- Live Daytona smoke passed with two disposable repositories through the
production provider sync functions. Both repositories arrived with Git
history. Commits from both restored locally. Ignored files stayed
excluded. The disposable sandbox was deleted.
- Passed on final commit `93ab76763`: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm
build`.
- Final focused coverage: 254 assertions across the six changed test
areas passed across the serial run and an isolated rerun of the existing
process-kill timing test. The live Daytona smoke also passed.
- The local `pnpm test:run` overlapped source edits and retained stale
transformed code. Its first phase reported 12,240 passed assertions,
nine failed assertions, three hook failures, and one worker error; later
phases did not run locally. This run is not claimed as green. Fresh
focused tests verify the changes, and every general/workspace and
serialized-server CI shard passes on the final commit.
- Final CI is green on `93ab76763`: all test shards, all three browser
shards, typecheck, build, runner verification, canary dry run, and
security checks. The initial unrelated chat-delivery browser timing
failure passed in the final CI run. Optional Storybook visual checks
were skipped.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the final commit with no unresolved review threads.
Its checkout-race finding was reproduced with a failing test, fixed, and
rechecked.

## Risks

- Additional repositories need disk space and clone time. Access failure
for an attached repository stops preparation.
- Additional checkouts live under `.paperclip-repositories/` and keep
independent histories. Changes stay in those task copies; they do not
overwrite configured source folders.
- Detached or reconfigured repository copies are retained under
`.paperclip-runtime/detached-repositories/`. Sandbox recovery retains
per-repository merge baselines.
- No database migration, UI contract change, or new credential
delegation is required. Referenced projects retain their separate
read-only behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with repository inspection, code
execution, and tool use. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model deployment ID or context-window size.

Devin Foley 2c90cf0f2c fix(server): serialize managed-checkout materialization and stop misattributing clone failures (#10723)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Repo-only project workspaces are materialized by a server-side
managed `git clone` into a per-project directory (#10720 added
credentials for private repos)
> - Two issues on the same project routinely wake seconds apart, and
both runs race the same clone target
> - The loser fails with "destination path already exists", and its
failure cleanup removes the directory out from under the winner's
in-progress clone — both runs then fail every round
> - This pull request serializes materialization per target directory
and makes the clone land atomically via a temp sibling + rename, so the
shared target is never partial and never removed
> - The benefit is that concurrent runs on the same project converge:
one clone happens, everyone adopts it, and unrelated failures no longer
blame the GitHub credential

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

With isolated workspaces enabled on a project whose only workspace is
repo-only, unblocking two issues at once produced lockstep mutual
destruction (observed live, two consecutive rounds): both runs called
the managed-checkout materialization concurrently; one clone created the
target directory, the other's `git clone` failed with `fatal:
destination path '…' already exists and is not an empty directory`, and
that run's failure cleanup deleted the directory while the first clone
was still writing into it (`fatal: could not set 'core…'`). Both runs
failed `workspace_validation_failed`; their staggered retries could race
again. The failure message also wrongly claimed the GitHub credential
"was rejected or lacks access" — the collision had nothing to do with
auth.

**Expected behavior**

Concurrent materializations of the same project checkout share one
clone; a completed checkout is never removed by a failing sibling; the
credential is only blamed for auth-shaped failures.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Project with a repo-only workspace (private repo, isolated workspaces
on).
2. Move two issues on that project to `todo` at the same time so both
runs start within seconds.
3. Both runs fail workspace validation with "destination path already
exists" / "could not set 'core…'" instead of one clone succeeding.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` (75f6256b76).

## What Changed

- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` serializes in-flight materializations
per target cwd (a module-level promise map): concurrent callers share
one attempt.
- The clone lands in a `<target>.clone-XXXXXX` temp sibling created with
`mkdtemp`, then moves into place with an atomic `rename`. Clone failure
removes only the temp directory; the shared target is never created
partially and never deleted. If the target appears between the emptiness
check and the rename (another process won), the completed checkout is
adopted instead of failing the run.
- `describeGitAuthFailure` attributes the GitHub credential only when
the error matches the auth-failure pattern; unrelated failures (path
collisions, network errors) no longer claim the token was rejected.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-managed-clone-credentials.test.ts
src/__tests__/git-credentials.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` — 169 tests pass,
including new cases: concurrent materializations of the same checkout
succeed with one shared result and no temp litter; failed clones leave
neither target nor temp directories; an authenticated clone failing for
non-auth reasons does not blame the credential.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.

## Risks

- Low risk. The serialization is in-process and keyed by exact target
path; the temp+rename pattern stays on the same filesystem (sibling
path) so the rename is atomic. Single-run behavior is byte-identical
apart from the temp-dir intermediate.
- The rename-conflict adoption path accepts a checkout another
materialization completed; the pre-existing `gitDirExists` adoption
semantics are unchanged.

Devin Foley e0c2448267 feat(server): authenticate server-side git clone and fetch with a company-secret GitHub token (#10720)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Repo-only project workspaces are materialized by a server-side `git
clone`, and isolated `git_worktree` runs refresh their base ref with
server-side `git fetch`
> - Both operations run outside the agent process with no credentials,
so private GitHub repositories can never be cloned or refreshed —
agent-scoped credential env bindings do not reach them
> - The company secret store already has a well-known GitHub token
convention (`GITHUB_TOKEN` / `GH_TOKEN` / `PAPERCLIP_GITHUB_TOKEN`,
consumed by the external-object provider for API reads), but nothing
server-side consults it for git
> - This pull request resolves that token per run and authenticates the
managed clone and every base-ref refresh with it through an ephemeral
credential helper
> - The benefit is that isolated workspaces work on private repositories
with one company secret, while public repositories and self-hosted
ambient git configuration keep working unchanged

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server workspace materialization (`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`)
and execution-workspace realization
(`server/src/services/workspace-runtime.ts`).

**Problem or motivation**

A project workspace configured with only a private GitHub `repoUrl`
cannot be used for isolated `git_worktree` runs: the managed `git clone`
runs with a sanitized, credential-less environment, and plain git cannot
consume a bare token env variable without a credential helper. There is
no way to give the server a git credential — storing a `GH_TOKEN`
company secret has no effect on server-side git, and a credential-less
private clone hangs on a terminal prompt until the ten-minute clone
timeout. Base-ref refreshes (`git fetch`) during worktree realization
have the same gap.

**Proposed solution**

A `git-credentials` module resolves a token per run — company secret by
well-known name (`GITHUB_TOKEN`, `GH_TOKEN`, `PAPERCLIP_GITHUB_TOKEN`),
then `GITHUB_TOKEN`/`GH_TOKEN` in the server process environment for
self-hosted deployments, then none — and builds a git invocation that
authenticates via an inline credential helper. The token travels in an
env variable; it never appears in argv, URLs, or on disk. Only
`https://github.com` remotes are authenticated; everything else keeps
ambient behavior. The provider is a single factory seam so a future
brokered credential source can replace it without touching call sites.

**Alternatives considered**

- A GitHub OAuth "connect your account" flow: heavier product surface,
needs app registration and callback custody; out of scope for a server
credential and better served by a dedicated connector later. The
provider seam keeps that path open.
- `gh auth setup-git`: writes helper configuration to disk and requires
a global token env; rejected in favor of per-invocation config with no
persistent state.
- Embedding the token in the clone URL: leaks into argv, error messages,
and `.git/config`; rejected.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/git-credentials.ts`:
`createGitRemoteAuthProvider` (memoized per run, one secret resolution
and one audit event), `buildGitAuthInvocation` (helper-reset + inline
helper, `x-access-token` username, `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`),
`isGitHubHttpsRemoteUrl` host gating (rejects ssh/GHES/http/other
hosts/userinfo URLs), `describeGitAuthFailure`, and the canonical
`scrubGitCredentialText`. Secret resolutions pass a `system` consumer
access context so they are recorded as secret access events.
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` (now exported) accepts an optional
auth provider; the clone env spreads the token after
`sanitizeRuntimeServiceBaseEnv` (which strips `PAPERCLIP_*`), always
sets `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0`, distinguishes "credential rejected" from
"no credential configured — add a GITHUB_TOKEN or GH_TOKEN company
secret" in the error, and removes the partially created directory on
clone failure so a timeout-killed clone cannot be adopted as a broken
checkout by the next run.
- `refreshRemoteTrackingBaseRef` (now exported) captures the remote URL
it already looked up, asks the provider for an invocation, and
attributes failed authenticated fetches to the credential in a scrubbed
warning. The optional provider threads through `detectDefaultBranch`,
`resolveAuthoritativeBaseRef`, `inspectExecutionWorkspaceBaseDrift`,
`realizeExecutionWorkspace`, and
`ensurePersistedExecutionWorkspaceAvailable`; heartbeat builds one
provider per run for both the anchor-resolution clone path and workspace
realization/restore.
- `github-external-object-provider.ts` imports the shared secret-name
list; `isGitHubDotCom` is exported from `github-fetch.ts`.
- Docs: "Private repositories and repo-only project workspaces" section
in the execution-workspaces guide, cross-linked from the secrets deploy
doc.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/git-credentials.test.ts` —
resolution chain order and precedence, env fallback, memoization,
audited access context, host-gating matrix, invocation shape (token
absent from argv), scrubber, failure descriptions, and a real-git `git
credential fill` round trip that proves the helper executes and answers
with the env-carried token (no network).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-managed-clone-credentials.test.ts` — clones
behave byte-identically with no provider or a null-returning provider
(local repos, no network), authenticated-failure errors name the
credential, non-auth failures do not mention credentials, partial clone
directories are removed, pre-existing non-git directories keep the
"Using it as-is" path, and the sanitizer spread order keeps the token
env alive.
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`
— new `refreshRemoteTrackingBaseRef` cases: provider offered the remote
URL and null keeps behavior identical; failed authenticated fetch
warning names the credential; unauthenticated failure warning stays
credential-free.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` is clean.
- Manual (optional, networked): store a `GH_TOKEN` company secret,
configure a repo-only project workspace pointing at a private GitHub
repository, run an isolated-workspace issue — the managed clone succeeds
and the worktree run proceeds.

## Risks

- Every new parameter is optional; with no provider the git invocations
are byte-identical to before. Public repos and ambient credential
helpers keep working whenever no token resolves.
- Precedence change when a token exists: a stored company secret now
wins over ambient helpers for `https://github.com` remotes (the helper
list is reset for that invocation). The rejected-credential error names
the secret so an operator can fix or remove it.
- `GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0` on the managed clone is the one always-on
change: a credential-less private clone now fails fast with a clear
message instead of hanging until the ten-minute timeout (it could only
ever "succeed" interactively on a TTY dev server).
- The token is scoped to the git process env for one invocation; it is
never written to agent env, run context, disk, or logs, and error text
is scrubbed of URL userinfo.
- No migrations, no image changes (git ships in the image).
