a8d32e5e61 feat(sandbox-providers): add CreateOS sandbox provider (#13434)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent work runs in sandboxes that provider plugins supply
> - Operators can choose a provider to run agent work
> - CreateOS adds another provider with workspace-preserving pause and
resume
> - This pull request adds a CreateOS provider plugin
> - The benefit is that operators can preserve a workspace between runs
without keeping its compute active

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13203 and the earlier closed #13096.

This continues the CreateOS contribution from @bhautikchudasama and
@ashwaq06. The branch preserves the original implementation commit.
Thank you to both contributors.

The original fork rejects maintainer pushes. This branch includes the
merge-conflict resolution and review fixes. The request is described
below using `adapter_request.yml`.

**Agent or provider**

CreateOS sandbox API (https://api.sb.createos.sh).

**Why this adapter is useful**

CreateOS can pause a sandbox and resume it by ID. The workspace survives
the pause. This adds a reusable-lease option to the existing sandbox
provider system.

**How the agent is invoked**

Build and install the local plugin as described in its README. Open
Instance Settings, then Environments. Select the `createos` driver.
Supply an API key and shape. The driver then supplies sandbox leases for
agent runs.

**Are you willing to implement it?**

Yes. This pull request is the implementation.

## What Changed

- Adds the `createos` sandbox provider under
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/createos`.
- Calls the CreateOS HTTP API directly. The package adds no vendor SDK.
- Implements the environment lifecycle hooks, incremental process
output, and binary workspace sync.
- Registers the optional bundled provider and its trusted host
credential fallback. The fallback is limited to the official API origin;
custom endpoints require an explicit key.
- Lists the package in the release manifest with `publishFromCi: false`
until its first npm publish is bootstrapped.
- Waits through delayed pause/resume state updates without duplicate
action requests.
- Cancels queued API requests promptly while preserving request spacing.
- Uses direct CLI invocation in the setup guide so paths and IDs are
passed without an extra shell expansion.
- Includes current master and retains its existing Git-subfolder
containment fix.

## Demo

Fresh setup and a run against a CreateOS sandbox.

## Verification

All 25 jobs in [CI run
34884260542](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34884260542)
passed at commit `f8d0997677024b784fdadf9d44a84c01cb4e813c`, including
typecheck, build, native runner verification, server and workspace
tests, browser tests, and the canary release dry run. Greptile reviewed
the same commit at 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.

GitHub reports no merge conflicts. The remaining merge gate is
code-owner approval for the new `package.json`, as required by
`.github/CODEOWNERS` and the `master` ruleset. Reviewers have been
requested automatically.

Local checks passed:

- Provider: `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm test` (52 passed, one live smoke
skipped), and `pnpm build`.
- Host: focused credential and bundled-plugin tests (17 passed), plus
CLI invocation safety (39 passed).
- Release: package manifest check and release policy tests (18 passed).

The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt caught the README command issue;
its focused rerun now passes. The full local run stopped after its
general-server group: 7,804 tests passed, with unrelated embedded
PostgreSQL startup failures and 10 failures in unchanged
runtime-skill-cache tests (`EACCES` on directory rename on macOS). It
did not reach the later test groups. Local `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm
build` reach the runner package and stop because this machine has no
Rust/Cargo installation. The corresponding CI checks passed on
provisioned runners, as linked above.

The live CreateOS smoke requires explicit provider credentials and was
not run during this review. It is available with `CREATEOS_LIVE_TEST=1
pnpm test` in the provider directory. The author supplied the demo links
above.

## Risks

The provider is opt-in and is not installed by default. It is available
through a local-path install or explicit image inclusion. npm
publication remains disabled until a maintainer bootstraps the package
and enables publishing.

Sandbox creation has no idempotency key. An ambiguous create response
can leave a resource that requires provider-account inspection. Process
tracking is in memory; durable lease recovery belongs to the host. The
provider does not advertise guaranteed expiry, interactive login,
snapshots, duplex channels, or ingress. Live native-runner qualification
remains outside this PR's tested claims.

## Model Used

Original provider implementation: human-authored by @bhautikchudasama,
as reported in #13203. The original description reports Claude Opus 5
assistance.

Review and follow-up fixes: OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with code review,
editing, and tool execution. The precise runtime model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.
