Priya RamanandPaperclip 0d728d0f45 feat(sandbox): bound untrusted duplex broker frame concurrency and id retention
The provider controls the duplex transport directly, so each request frame is
untrusted. The broker now enforces two finite, fail-closed limits before it adds
the id to the seen set, allocates the pending record, or calls the forward
handler:

- an in-flight limit that bounds the controllers, the timers, and the concurrent
  authenticated forwards.
- a lifetime limit that bounds the retained request-id memory.

On a limit the broker answers the refused request with one bounded terminal 503
response and forwards nothing. An in-flight refusal is retryable and keeps the id
out of the seen set, so a resend passes after a slot frees. A lifetime refusal is
terminal. The refusal preserves the no-replay and no-double-dispatch rules and
records no telemetry, so the fixed observability surface stays unchanged.

@paperclipai/adapter-utils

Shared utilities for Paperclip adapters: process spawning, environment injection, sandbox/SSH transport, workspace sync, and the round-trip helpers that move code between the local execution-workspace cwd and wherever the agent actually runs.

For the adapter-author guide see docs/adapters/creating-an-adapter.md and the in-repo notes at packages/adapters/AUTHORING.md.

No-remote-git contract

The local execution-workspace cwd is the only persistence boundary across runs. No adapter may depend on a git remote for cross-run state.

Adapters that run the agent on a different host should use the SSH round-trip helpers in src/ssh.ts:

  • prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir }) — bundles the local cwd (tracked files, dirty edits, untracked additions, and the git history needed to reconstruct it) to remoteDir before the run starts. Runs with no git remote configured.
  • restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... }) — syncs the remote cwd back into localDir after the run, including any new commits the agent created. Also runs with no git remote configured.

prepareRemoteManagedRuntime in src/remote-managed-runtime.ts wraps both calls for adapters that want a per-run remote workspace and an automatic restoreWorkspace() finally hook.

The invariant is pinned by the no-remote-git contract case in src/ssh-fixture.test.ts, which asserts that a remote-only commit propagates to the local worktree through the prepare → restore round-trip with no git remote configured at any point. Do not regress that test.
