## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Agent adapters run workspace restore steps when an ACP run ends. > - Claude, Codex, and Gemini each kept a near-identical teardown closure. > - Duplicate closures require the same defect fix in three files. > - This pull request adds one shared workspace-restore teardown factory and keeps each adapter's message strings. > - The benefit is one tested restore-failure path with the same output and outcome for all three adapters. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** The Claude, Codex, and Gemini ACP adapters restore the workspace during teardown and report restore failures with an allowlisted message. **Subsystem affected** `packages/adapters/` and `packages/adapter-utils/`. **Current behavior** Each adapter keeps a near-identical closure. The closure logs a start line, restores the workspace, classifies errors, and logs a fixed failure line. **Proposed behavior** A shared `createWorkspaceRestoreTeardown` factory owns the common steps. Each adapter passes its staged runtime, log sink, start line, and failure prefix. **Reason and benefit** The shared factory removes duplicate error handling. One tested implementation now preserves the existing output and outcome for all three adapters. **Breaking changes** None. The refactor preserves the emitted lines and returned outcomes. **Additional context** This pull request contains no public issue reference because no related public issue was found. ## What Changed - Add `createWorkspaceRestoreTeardown` to `packages/adapter-utils`. - Move the shared restore, classify, and allowlisted log flow into the factory. - Update the Claude, Codex, and Gemini ACP adapters to call the factory. - Add a table-driven test for all three message pairs. - Keep one end-to-end restore-failure regression test per adapter. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck` - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck` - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local typecheck` - `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-teardown.test.ts` - `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.test.ts` - `npx vitest run packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` - `npx vitest run packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` - `npx vitest run packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` - Continuous integration must pass before merge, except for the known pre-existing failures listed in the handoff. ## Risks Low risk. This change moves shared code without changing behavior. The adapter-specific message strings remain unchanged. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-5, exact model ID `gpt-5`, tool use and code review assistance. The context window size was not provided by the runtime. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

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) toremoteDirbefore the run starts. Runs with nogit remoteconfigured.restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... })— syncs the remote cwd back intolocalDirafter the run, including any new commits the agent created. Also runs with nogit remoteconfigured.
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.
