cc127f5516 fix(runner): drop unusable musl builds and duplicate Copilot from provider packs (#17387)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner release builds a Linux "provider pack". The pack is a
self-contained runtime with Node, Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. The
Daytona runner image and SSH hosts use it.
> - The release artifacts for this pack are large: 1,182 MB for
linux-x64 and 543 MB for linux-arm64.
> - Most of that size is necessary. But about 20–30% of it is code that
the pack can never run.
> - pnpm 9 installs all libc variants of optional platform packages.
Thus the pack includes the musl (Alpine) builds of Claude Code and
OpenCode. The pack runs only its copied glibc Node, so these builds are
never used.
> - On linux-x64, the npm Copilot package is also a byte-identical copy
of the verified Copilot provider asset (162 MB).
> - This pull request removes these unused bytes from the pack at build
time.
> - The benefit is smaller release artifacts and Docker images, and
faster uploads and downloads.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The runner release workflow uploads `runner-provider-packs-linux-x64`
(1,182 MB) and `runner-provider-packs-linux-arm64` (543 MB). The darwin
daemon artifacts are about 10 MB. The darwin artifacts are a different
artifact type, so the comparison is not direct. But inspection of the
extracted Linux packs found real waste:
- `@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk-linux-*-musl` (about 225 MB
uncompressed)
- `opencode-linux-*-musl` and `opencode-linux-x64-baseline-musl` (about
180 MB each)
- on linux-x64,
`node_modules/.pnpm/@github+copilot-linux-x64@1.0.88/.../copilot`, which
has the same SHA-256 (`0059754c…`) as
`provider-assets/copilot/linux-x64/copilot`

**Expected behavior**
The pack contains only code that its copied Node and its launch shims
can run.

**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `e0d9033`. The inspected release run built commit `837add0`.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install `@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp@0.73.0` and
`opencode-ai@1.18.34` with pnpm 9.15.4 on a glibc Linux host.
2. List `node_modules/.pnpm`.
3. See the `*-musl` entries. Their `package.json` declares `"libc":
["musl"]`.

## What Changed

- `provider-pack-runtime-tree.mjs`: add `providerPackLibc()`. It reports
the libc of the Node that the pack copies (`glibc` or `musl` on Linux,
none on other platforms).
- `provider-pack-runtime-tree.mjs`: add
`removeForeignLibcPackagesFromProviderPack()`. It removes each pnpm
virtual-store entry whose own `package.json` declares a `libc` list
without the pack libc. Packages without a `libc` field stay (for example
`@openai/codex-linux-*`, which holds Codex's static musl binary).
- `provider-pack-runtime-tree.mjs`: add `removePnpmStoreEntries()`. It
removes store entries and every symlink that resolves into them, so no
dangling link stays in the pack. It refuses names outside
`node_modules/.pnpm`.
- `provider-pack-executable-shims.mjs`: when
`provider-assets/copilot/<platform>/copilot` has the same bytes as the
npm Copilot executable, the `copilot-<platform>` command now points at
the asset and the npm copy is removed. If the bytes are different, the
old behavior stays.
- `build-provider-pack.mjs`: run the libc prune immediately after `pnpm
deploy`. Log the removed entries.
- No file bound by `provider-pack.json` changes. Thus the manifest
digest and the qualification and digest pins do not change.

## Verification

- `node --test
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/provider-pack-runtime-tree.test.mjs
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/provider-pack-executable-shims.test.mjs
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/candidate-provider-pack.test.mjs
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/release-provider-pack.test.mjs`: 40/40
pass.
- The new Copilot test fails with the old
`provider-pack-executable-shims.mjs` and passes with the new file.
- A real pnpm 9.15.4 tree with the pack's provider dependencies, on
linux-x64 (glibc):
- The prune removed `@anthropic-ai+claude-agent-sdk-linux-x64-musl`,
`opencode-linux-x64-musl`, and `opencode-linux-x64-baseline-musl`. The
Copilot dedupe removed the npm Copilot entry.
  - `node_modules` changed from 1.9 GB to 1.1 GB.
  - `find node_modules -xtype l` found no dangling links.
- The claude-agent-acp SDK still resolves
`@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk-linux-x64/claude`.
  - `opencode --version` prints `1.18.34`.
- The rewritten `copilot-linux-x64` prints `GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.88.`
- Earlier measurement: we pruned the same paths from the extracted pack
artifacts and compressed them again with `tar -czf`. linux-x64 went from
1131 MB to 876 MB. linux-arm64 went from 519 MB to 360 MB.
- Not run locally: a full `build-provider-pack.mjs` build. This sandbox
has 10 GB of disk, which is not sufficient for a full workspace install
and a 3 GB pack. The `release-verify.yml` provider-pack step and the
Daytona image `RUN claude/codex/acpx --version` checks run the full
build.
- `test/acpx-codex-package-contract.test.mjs` has 1 failure in this
sandbox, and the failure is the same on `master`. The cause is that this
checkout has no `node_modules`.

## Risks

- Low risk. All pack builds run on glibc hosts (Debian bookworm images
and Ubuntu CI). On a musl build host, the prune removes the glibc
packages, and the existing Claude executable resolution fails at build
time. Before this change, that build gave a pack with a Claude binary
that could not run.
- The `copilot-linux-x64` command now runs the binary from
`provider-assets/copilot/linux-x64/`. The bytes are identical. Runtime
admission already uses this asset, through the descriptor-pinned lease.
- The pack content changes but the manifest digest does not. The remote
verifier checks only the bound artifacts, `dist`, and provider asset
trees. None of these change.
- Not in this pull request: Pi's bundled Node is byte-identical to the
pack Node (121 MB, about 43 MB compressed). A fix for it changes the
qualified Pi closure digest. Also, the `release.yml` publish jobs
download the full packs, but they read only `provider-pack.json`. These
are possible follow-ups.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through
Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edit) and code execution in a
sandbox.
