## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents and their execution environments. > - The Daytona provider creates sandboxes before it returns a lease. > - Daytona can allocate a sandbox, then time out while waiting for it to start. > - The SDK throws without returning the allocated sandbox handle. > - Paperclip previously lost the resource identity and could leave a running sandbox behind. > - This pull request keeps an exact creation identity and deletes a matching failed allocation. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Related: #13882. Searches for Daytona create cleanup and orphan fixes found no duplicate for this path. **What happened?** In [Grok qualification campaign 36080870743](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36080870743), Daytona sandbox creation exceeded 300 seconds. No native runner or provider session started. The SDK threw, but an ownership-filtered provider lookup found the allocated sandbox still running. The disposable resource was then deleted separately. The original attempt and its failure remain retained. **Expected behavior** A failed create must retain enough identity to clean up an allocated sandbox. Cleanup must never delete another attempt's resource. If the provider cannot confirm cleanup during sandbox lease acquisition, the host must retain a durable cleanup record and retry the exact owned allocation after restart. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Have Daytona allocate a sandbox for an environment acquisition. 2. Make the SDK throw while waiting for startup, before it returns the sandbox handle. 3. Before this fix, acquisition fails without deleting the allocated sandbox. 4. The regression tests reproduce this failure and verify exact-owner deletion. **Paperclip version or commit** Observed at `1b0551bb7c8de3c54f4bee64dbe2c88328b3645e`. The same creation path exists on master; this fix starts from `efce9356b`. ## What Changed - Assign each cold create a unique provider name and creation-attempt label. - On create failure, look up that exact name and verify every ownership label before deletion. - Wait for provider deletion with bounded lookup and deletion calls. - Preserve the original create error after successful cleanup. Report both errors and the provider name when cleanup cannot be confirmed. - Treat a missing lookup after an uncertain create as unconfirmed cleanup: a delayed provider request might still create the sandbox. - Transfer only validated ownership fields through the acquire-lease RPC error; provider exceptions and arbitrary error data are not serialized. - Persist a pending-cleanup lease before the host retries deletion. Reuse the existing cleanup sweep and durable spool, retaining the original environment scope after its row is deleted. - Fence retries by company, environment, run, provider account, unique creation name, and every ownership label. Missing provisional-name lookups remain unresolved. - Journal an ownership-verified provider ID before host-driven deletion. Its absence then confirms cleanup after a lost deletion reply or final database update; failed journal writes block deletion. - Keep ownership labels separate from the mutable input Daytona modifies during create. - Report confirmed host-side deletion accurately while still rejecting the failed acquisition. - Add protocol, malformed-evidence, cross-scope denial, controller-restart, and deleted-environment regressions alongside the original bounded cleanup tests. ## Verification - SDK suite: 92 passed. Daytona plugin suite: 277 passed; six opt-in live tests skipped. Environment-runtime suite: 103 passed, then all four focused observation/recovery variants passed after adding a foreign-observation case. SDK and provider TypeScript checks and `git diff --check` pass. - Regressions failed before the respective fixes: missing durable ownership, misleading successful-cleanup message, and SDK mutation of the ownership labels. - Controlled real-Daytona proof at `d2ac1c95b32ca64daf039c0427137657f351c0e0`: create a real sandbox; inject an SDK failure and a failed immediate lookup; persist the validated ownership envelope; have a child journal the observed provider ID before deleting; deliberately drop its successful deletion receipt; reconcile absence from another fresh process and confirm it with a separate provider read. Passed, with no manual cleanup and zero model calls. The live proof uses an owner-only envelope file; actual host database/spool recovery is tested separately in the environment-runtime suite. - The preceding controlled attempt failed because the real SDK mutated the labels object. That failure is retained. The harness deleted its exact owned sandbox, and a fresh lookup confirmed absence. The fix copies the SDK input labels separately from the ownership snapshot. - [Repository CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36095925399) passes on this exact head, with a clean 5/5 review. The unchanged Cursor remote-command test passed its one bounded rerun after a 10-second timeout; the same test had already passed on the combined tree. The original failure is retained. Earlier `199f0852` CI and immediate-deletion proof are retained, without being promoted to the new source. - Combined-source verification uses temporary PR #13990 against the Grok feature branch. No Docker or Rust build runs on the developer laptop. ## Risks Creation failures now add up to ten seconds for lookup and fifteen seconds for deletion confirmation. The SDK still owns the initial creation timeout. If a request materializes only after the failed lookup, its durable pending record remains eligible for later cleanup; a never-observed creation name is never reported deleted from a 404. A previously observed provider ID can be reconciled as deleted. The host and SDK must be deployed together. Durable handoff applies to plugin-backed sandbox lease acquisition used by heartbeat and runner login. Probe and custom-image interactive setup retain immediate cleanup and explicit failure reporting, but do not use this lease-recovery path. A worker crash before delivering the failure envelope still cannot be recovered through this mechanism. A cleanup error never returns a lease. Successful creation behavior is unchanged except for the provider name and ownership label. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository tools and code execution.
