## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Remote workspace saves must preserve the files produced by a completed turn. > - When a sandbox disk is full, the existing fallback transfers a stable source and seals it on the controller. > - The fallback gives metadata checks and the portable codec the same two-minute timer. > - Slow but successful metadata checks can leave the codec only milliseconds, although normal sandbox capture allows five minutes. > - This change keeps the metadata budget and gives the local codec the existing finite capture budget. > - All source checks, archive checks, ownership checks, and failure cleanup remain required. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19465. Related: #19364 and #19619. The open diagnostic change in #19619 records fallback causes; it does not separate these phase budgets. No duplicate budget fix was found. **What happened?** A retained workspace failed five read-only exports at `stage=archive` with `transport_timeout`; four warnings also named `ABORT_ERR`. The fallback had already transferred the source and passed the received-tree and source inventory checks. Its controller codec received the same two-minute signal used by those checks. **Expected behavior** Metadata checks share a finite two-minute budget. Sealing uses the same finite five-minute policy as normal sandbox capture. The final source check uses only the unused metadata budget. A changed source, expired budget, or cancelled codec must not produce a preservation receipt. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Create a standalone Git fixture with staged changes, an untracked result, and a confined symlink. 2. Make the initial sandbox helper report the exact disk-full error. 3. Transfer real files and run the actual inventory scripts. Delay a successful second inventory reply until just before the native two-minute deadline. 4. Observe that the real portable codec starts with a live signal, then aborts when that shared timer expires. ## What Changed - Name and reuse the existing 300-second command policy for controller capture. - Retain the aggregate 120-second metadata budget. Preserve its unused remainder for the final source recheck. - Keep the exact disk-full error, source comparisons, file/Git checks, and cleanup behavior. - Add six real-filesystem and real-codec controls. Document the separate phase limits and the current absence of a caller abort signal on the save interface. - Repair the existing onboarding test's fake-environment mapping with the same real-agent PATCH mapping used by its sibling. Verify the persisted agent through a real GET. Production UI code is unchanged. ## Verification - Native-timer RED on base `35d41f11bb`: a successful source reply arrived at 119,981.62 ms. Its command took 119,854.47 ms within its 119,873 ms cap. The actual codec started at 119,982.70 ms with a live signal and aborted at 120,001.84 ms. Its nested cause matched the retained warning: `stage=archive reason=operation_failed transport=transport_timeout code=ABORT_ERR`. The source inventory was unchanged and private staging was removed. - The real-archive control sealed 10,166,395 bytes and 533 entries in 555.55 ms. It restored HEAD, staged data, untracked data, and the symlink, and passed Git fsck. The recorded delay is synthetic; it is not a measurement of the failed hosted workspace or provider throughput. - The native RED leaves about 18 ms for the final check too. The repaired code must still refuse that exact exhausted-metadata case; it is not claimed as a native-clock GREEN. - The committed fast regressions control phase time and delegate to the actual inventory commands and portable codec. They cover successful restore after the old metadata signal expires during sealing, pre-capture metadata expiry, codec deadline/cancellation, and final metadata expiry after a real completed archive. - From `server/`: `node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/remote-workspace-readonly-capture-budget.test.ts src/services/remote-workspace-transport.test.ts src/services/remote-workspace-readonly-inventory.test.ts src/services/remote-workspace-transfer-timeout.test.ts --fsModuleCache` — 156 tests passed in 42.30 seconds before removal of a redundant test duration assertion. The final-head six-case regression also passes after rebasing onto `fff70fe49e`; only unrelated Runner and E2E files changed in that rebase. - Review follow-up `ad565dd984` makes the phase clock fully controlled. It checks the requested final 2,000 ms budget separately from the real subprocess's 30-second test limit. All six controls pass in 11.94 seconds, and server TypeScript passes again. The earlier real-time-plus-offset clock could falsely fail on a loaded machine; that review finding is fixed. - Server TypeScript and module boundary checks pass. The first TypeScript attempt could not resolve the unbuilt plugin SDK. Building that existing workspace prerequisite resolved the setup errors; no source workaround was added. - The first preflight attempt used the host pnpm shim and was stopped. The second lacked sandbox network access and was stopped. The canonical cached preflight then completed in 22.1 seconds with the Runner build restored from cache. A later test launch used the wrong working directory for a test rewrite; its wrapper was stopped before waiting through a second native-timer test. None of these interrupted attempts is a pass. - Final-head CI first failed one unchanged Runner-support privacy test at 30 seconds: [job failure](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42359560195/job/128365192635). The other 6,864 tests passed and four were skipped. The failing test and its report owners match base `fff70fe49e`; the exact case passes locally unchanged in 2.97 seconds (one pass, 40 unselected). Job cleanup reported an orphan `unzip`; that does not establish the timeout cause. GitHub rejected the scoped retry while the parent workflow was still running, so no retry has started. No old-head retry was started because the separately proven onboarding fixture repair requires a new head and a fresh full pipeline. The original Runner failure remains recorded. - The same CI run failed onboarding case 160 at 60 seconds; its retained page showed `Environment not found`. The fixture injected an environment only in browser responses, then sent that fake ID to the real agent update. The original case passed locally in 37.44 seconds despite rejected HTTP 422 updates. Adding a real update-success guard produced a local RED in 26.83 seconds (expected 200, got 422). Reusing the sibling fixture's fake-ID-to-local-default PATCH mapping produced GREEN in 22.52 seconds. A real GET verifies the same persisted agent ID, name, and default environment. Existing sign-in, cancellation, and no-hire assertions are unchanged. CI screenshot/error context and the local persistence RED remain retained. - All other product checks on `ad565dd984` passed, including build, TypeScript, all general and serialized server shards, and native Runner checks. Final head `58bb4ee2411dfefca462f0e9b5a701d84ce1326e` passes the fresh pipeline: [CI run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42360927780). Runner support passes in 3m36s and onboarding shard 5/8 passes in 5m46s, with no Runner-support source change. The original failures remain part of this verification history. - Environment: macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, real Node/Git/filesystem operations. No provider or recovery calls, replayed turn, source mutation, or hosted recovery acceptance was performed. Final-head required CI and review pass; the exact gate state is recorded below. - Exact-head final gate: 57 successful checks, three skipped, two neutral, and no failures. Both required gates (`ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`) pass. Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5, and zero review threads remain open. The non-required companion `review` job is still queued with no steps; it has not passed, and GitHub therefore reports `UNSTABLE` while the PR remains mergeable. ## Risks - Controller work after transfer can now take up to two minutes for metadata plus five minutes for sealing. Each phase remains bounded. Existing entry, repository, configuration, and transfer limits stay in force. - The save interface has no caller abort signal. This change adds no Stop guarantee and does not replace the recovery retry window with an operation deadline. Existing physical ownership and publication fences remain in force. - This proves the timer mechanism with a synthetic slow inventory. It does not measure the actual dirty workspace size or show that its archive finishes within five minutes. A guarded file-only recovery and independent durable readback remain required after normal delivery. - The onboarding fixture maps only its exact synthetic environment ID. It still calls the real agent update and read routes. It does not loosen production environment validation. - No schema, provider transport, task status, recovery policy, or source cleanup authority changes. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 family through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution, and regression tests.
