Priya RamanandPaperclip a33d2aaae9 fix(sandbox): bound the pre-READY duplex buffer cap check in O(1)
The duplex readiness gate checked the pre-READY buffer cap with
Buffer.byteLength, which is O(n) in the buffer length. A provider that
controls the chunk size could send many small newline-less chunks, so the
per-chunk byte scan made the pre-READY window quadratic in the bytes
received. This was a CPU-exhaustion path on channel open.

Gate on buffer.length, the UTF-16 code-unit count, which is O(1). The UTF-8
byte length is greater than or equal to the UTF-16 code-unit count for every
string, so the check never fires before the byte cap is truly exceeded. It
can fire late by at most a factor of 3, so peak buffer memory stays bounded
near 3 MB. The failure reason and every other gate behavior stay unchanged.

Add a test that feeds many small newline-less chunks past the cap and asserts
the gate finishes with protocol contamination.

Correct one telemetry README sentence. Counters carry no dimension labels;
fallback_reason and loss_class fold into the counter metric name. The full
closed dimension set rides only the spans and the transport event.

@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 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.
