nickyleachandPaperclip 0ca4146473 fix(adapter-utils): verify symlink identity and removal success before pruning a managed Gemini skill
The prune treated any symlink at a manifest-named path as lane-owned,
so it could delete a user's own replacement link. It also reported a
removal as done even when fs.rm failed, so a failed entry dropped out
of the manifest and a later prune could not retry it.

The manifest now records each managed skill's resolved source path.
The prune compares a symlink's current target against that source
before removal, and only reports a removal after fs.rm succeeds. An
entry the removal fails on stays in the manifest for a later retry.

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.
