Priya RamanandPaperclip 84f3a8eaf9 fix(adapter-utils): charge a bodyless request the zero-length reserve, not the worst-case cap
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.

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.
