Devin FoleyandPaperclip 088f85c5fe fix: rename the managed environment to Paperclip Sandbox (#19296)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their execution environments.
> - Managed installations supply a default sandbox through managed
configuration.
> - Most selectors show the configured environment name.
> - A fallback label, two errors, and examples still use Paperclip
Computer.
> - This pull request changes that stock copy to Paperclip Sandbox.
> - Existing and custom environment names continue to come from the
stored row.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The managed environment label in agent settings and the errors shown
when the managed sandbox is unavailable.

**Subsystem affected**

The agent configuration UI, runner selection, and environment
reconciliation tests.

**Current behavior**

Fallback copy and current examples call the managed sandbox Paperclip
Computer. The actual environment name is already configurable.

**Proposed behavior**

Use Paperclip Sandbox for stock copy and current examples. Keep
configured names unchanged in selectors, including legacy names and
custom names.

**Reason and benefit**

The name identifies this environment as a managed sandbox and removes
ambiguity.

**Breaking changes**

The displayed fallback and error text change. Error codes, execution
behavior, and environment identity remain the same. No migration is
needed.

**Additional context**

No duplicate rename issue or pull request was found. This is a copy
update, with no new roadmap feature.

## What Changed

- Update the managed fallback label and two unavailable-sandbox error
messages.
- Update current test and Storybook fixtures without changing story IDs
or behavior.
- Test configured names, fallback copy, and the unavailable-sandbox
message.
- Add a PostgreSQL regression test for a rename that retains the
environment ID, instance default, agent binding, environment variables,
and lease.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Focused coverage: 956 cases across nine changed suites. The new
fixture initially tried to insert an existing singleton; its corrected
upsert passed with all 52 environment-service cases. The updated runner
suite also passed all 243 cases.
- The two UI suites passed all 189 cases, including configured
legacy/custom names and the missing-default fallback.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs --check` passed. The catalog is
structural evidence only.
- `node --test scripts/check-maps.test.mjs
scripts/storybook-catalog.test.mjs
scripts/storybook-feature-index.test.mjs` passed.
- Full `pnpm test:run` is in progress. No live provider or browser
journey is claimed by these tests.
- CI passed on the current head after one server-shard rerun. The first
attempt hit a 10 ms deadline assertion in the unchanged status-card
timing test; its isolated local run and the complete rerun shard passed.
The original failure and rerun are retained in the PR comment.
- Reviewed the diff for secrets, personal data, and run artifacts.

## Risks

Low risk: runtime edits change three display strings. Managed
reconciliation is unchanged. The regression test exercises the existing
rename against PostgreSQL. The configured name still controls normal
display, so this code change alone does not rename existing database
rows. A managed configuration update uses the existing reconciliation
path. Roll back the copy by reverting this commit.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol (`gpt-6.1-sol`) through Codex in T3 Code, xhigh
reasoning, with repository tools and code execution.

@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.

Sandbox bridge deadlines

Command-managed bridge control operations (queue reads, input delivery, setup, and cleanup) have a host-enforced deadline of at most 30 seconds per shell command. A shorter configured timeout still applies. These operations cannot inherit the agent run's hours-long lifetime or wait forever on a provider that ignores its timeout. Long-lived agent session commands keep their own limits.

A control timeout reports a transport failure. It does not prove that the remote command stopped and does not replay an uncertain write. The process session closes failed input delivery and uses its existing shutdown path; normal execution settlement must still verify termination.

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.
