## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Finished tasks can release Git caches that Paperclip can restore
later.
> - Nested repository preparation adds an ignore entry to the base
repository.
> - Base cleanup currently treats this generated entry as custom
metadata.
> - This pull request accepts the exact generated entry and keeps other
metadata protected.
> - Unused private bases can then expire with their workspaces and
return on demand.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #16691. Related #15404 and #14443 change repository preparation or
sync, not base expiration.
**What happened?**
A finished workspace with a nested project repository expires, but its
unused private base remains with `custom_git_metadata`. Normal
preparation added `/.paperclip-repositories/` to the stock Git exclude
file.
**Expected behavior**
Cleanup removes a verified, unused base with this generated entry.
Custom metadata still prevents base deletion.
**Steps to reproduce**
Create an isolated workspace with a nested repository through normal
preparation. Finish the task, wait for the retention period, and run
expiration. The workspace disappears but its private base remains.

## What Changed
- Accept stock `info/exclude` bytes or stock bytes plus the exact single
entry produced by Paperclip.
- Verify base deletion and restoration of both repository commits and
settings after upstream advances.
- Preserve custom patterns, comments, extra bytes, duplicate entries,
and symlinks.
## Verification
- Captured a failing lifecycle baseline: the workspace expired but the
base remained with `custom_git_metadata`.
- Both new real Git/PostgreSQL lifecycle cases pass. Restoration returns
main and nested commit A after upstream moves to B, preserves settings
permissions, and permits a subsequent commit.
- Six focused metadata controls pass. The retained baseline fixture
passes the storage check without edits to its files.
- Server typecheck passes. Full local build passes. Required CI is
tracked on this PR.
- Independent review found no actionable findings. Staging reclamation
and product reopening remain deployment acceptance checks.
## Risks
This expands a deletion allowlist. Matching is byte-exact and limited to
the generated suffix. Other ownership, authenticated fetch, consumer,
file, and Git history checks remain required. No schema or retention
changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with code execution and independent agent review.
