DottaandPaperclip 3447609d22 fix(runner): stream and page large API responses within capture budgets (#14301)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use governed API tools to inspect task evidence.
> - Large API results become saved assets with short previews.
> - Reading an asset through the same tool used to create another asset,
so the agent could not reach the rest of the evidence.
> - The 10 MiB response cap also blocked useful large results. Removing
all bounds allowed excessive disk use.
> - This pull request streams responses up to 1 GiB and makes saved text
readable in bounded pages. It adds durable run budgets and capture
admission limits.
> - Agents can inspect complete evidence while tool results, memory use,
and capture work stay bounded.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A large response became an asset. Reading that asset returned another
asset and the same preview. Responses above 10 MiB failed before the
agent could read any page.

**Expected behavior**
The agent can fetch a large response and read its saved text to EOF.
Each page stays bounded. New snapshots have a generous finite limit and
a durable run budget. Existing larger assets remain readable through
byte ranges.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Call a GET operation that returns more than 10 MiB of text or JSON.
2. Before the fix, the tool returns `api_transport_failure`.
3. With this change, responses up to 1 GiB become streamed snapshots
with artifact references.
4. Read `GET /api/assets/{assetId}/content` with `responseText:
{offsetBytes: 0, limitBytes: 8192}`. Follow `nextOffsetBytes` until
null.

Related work: #14186 added the API fallback tools. #14218 bounded API
discovery.

## What Changed

- Add authenticated UTF-8 text windows to `call_api`, with byte offsets
and total size. Keep each page at or below 24 KiB.
- Stream new responses above 24 KiB through private temporary files into
company-owned assets. Bound each capture to 1 GiB of decoded bytes.
Reject oversized declared lengths before reading and count streamed
bytes before writing.
- Reserve capture budget in the run record before spilling. Allow 4 GiB
per run. Settle successful captures to their actual size. Failed or
interrupted captures retain their full 1 GiB reservation. Run restarts
do not reset the budget.
- Enforce a 20 GiB company snapshot quota with database reservations.
Count legacy snapshots and unfinished storage work across runs and
processes. Asset deletion frees quota.
- Limit large captures to two per company and four per server process.
Hold slots through storage upload and temporary-file cleanup. Use a
10-minute download deadline and 30-second connection/idle-read timeouts.
- Return explicit size, budget, busy, and timeout errors. Preserve
unknown outcomes for mutations whose response cannot be captured.
- Read saved assets through authenticated storage ranges, with at most
two extra bytes for UTF-8 and EOF handling. Unpaged reads return the
existing asset and digest with a bounded preview. Reads create no copies
and do not consume capture budget.
- Keep existing assets above 1 GiB readable in pages. Use safe integer
offsets and PostgreSQL `bigint` asset sizes.
- Stream large S3 uploads through ordered multipart requests. Abort
failed uploads and remove partial local files.
- Revalidate run authority during downloads. Keep company authorization,
GET-only text paging, redirect denial, and mutation replay receipts.
- Document the separate 10 MiB upload limits. This PR does not raise
memory-buffered attachment ingestion limits. Future large video uploads
need streamed ingestion and storage quotas.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass after
rebasing on master.
- Focused API and response tests: 1,761 pass. Cover declared and chunked
oversize responses, incorrect Content-Length, exact-limit success,
active-stream deadline, cancellation, cleanup, concurrency admission,
and mutation outcome handling.
- Real HTTP integration: 28 tests pass, including runnerd → PRP →
authority → HTTP, a 12 MiB snapshot, final-page/EOF reads, cross-company
denial, a persisted 3 GiB sparse asset, and large mutation receipt
replay.
- The HTTP suite verifies durable run-budget accounting, simultaneous
runs competing for company quota, legacy snapshot accounting, deletion
refunds, failed-storage reservations, cleaned-failure refunds,
metadata-rollback cleanup refunds, preservation after a lost commit
acknowledgement, and small/saved reads after capture-budget exhaustion.
- A standalone proof streams exactly 1 GiB through the production
capture helper, verifies the final bytes, and removes its temporary
file. It uses repeated 256 KiB chunks and records a peak process RSS of
191 MiB.
- Earlier storage verification covers exact S3 multipart boundaries,
cleanup/abort failures, and a 17 MiB transfer through the real AWS SDK
to a local HTTP S3 endpoint. No cloud S3 qualification was run for this
follow-up.
- The local full test run was interrupted for the company-quota changes.
A later targeted run hit exhausted macOS shared-memory slots before
tests started; two unattached PostgreSQL segments with dead owners were
reclaimed before retrying. All 55 current-head checks pass at
`aebb80ceeeee77d5a56b67bfffd835f2f846878c`, including the full CI test
suite, typecheck, build, browser suites, security scan, and Greptile
(5/5). There are no unresolved review threads. The combined rebased test
catalog also passes (48 tests).
- Earlier paging acceptance passed Daytona and separate staging at
`7739879e9`. Those runs predate the streaming and budget changes.

## Risks

- The 1 GiB response cap and 10-minute active-download deadline are
intentional product limits. Larger live results must use endpoint
pagination or a direct file workflow. Existing larger assets remain
readable through bounded ranges.
- A durable 20 GiB company snapshot quota counts stored runner-api
assets and active/orphan reservations across runs and processes. The
operator can set PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_API_COMPANY_CAPTURE_MAX_BYTES to a
finite value of at least 1 GiB. Deleting snapshots frees capacity;
possible orphan storage must be reconciled before releasing its
reservation.
- A failed capture uses its full reservation. A new large capture needs
a full 1 GiB available, even if it later completes at a smaller size.
Small reads and existing asset pages remain available.
- Concurrency limits apply per server process. The run byte budget is
shared through the database.
- The `integer` to `bigint` migration rewrites asset metadata and takes
an exclusive table lock. File bytes stay in storage.
- A live endpoint is fetched once before returning its snapshot.
Continue reading the saved artifact for stable pages. Mutations may
commit before any size or transport error; inspect state before
retrying.
- Attachment uploads and native file handoffs still default to 10 MiB.
Raising buffered ingestion paths to GiB sizes is separate work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The runtime does not expose an exact serving model variant or
context-window size. The earlier paging work also used browser testing
and subagents.
