A request with no Content-Length header and no Transfer-Encoding header has no body (RFC 9112 section 6.3). declaredBodyBytes returned null for that shape, so both bridge gateways charged the same worst-case maxBodyBytes reserve as an unknown-size chunked body. A plain DELETE takes this exact shape, so two concurrent DELETE requests -- or one DELETE next to one large POST -- exceeded the production inflight bound and got a 503, even though neither request holds any real body memory. Classify the framing in three ways instead of two: a Transfer-Encoding header always means an unknown length; a valid Content-Length header is a declared length; neither header present is a declared length of zero. Both gateways already treat a non-null declared length as the real charge, so this alone fixes the reserve for both gateways with no other call-site change. The zero case still reads through readBody with a declared length of zero, so an unexpected body byte still raises a 413. The charge for a declared length and for an unknown (chunked) length is unchanged in value. The chunked worst case is documented in the comment on the charge: at production defaults the file gateway admits exactly one such request at a time, and this is intentional -- the gateway cannot know a chunked body's size before it reads it. Regression tests prove two concurrent DELETE requests, and one DELETE concurrent with a POST at the body cap, both reach the host worker at production admission defaults; they fail against the prior commit and pass after this fix. A duplex-gateway test proves the same zero-length charge with the duplex charge model unchanged for declared and unknown lengths. Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
@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

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.
