# Execution workspaces, services, and files
|
||
|
||
A project or task can use a managed workspace with inspectable files, Git state, services, and runtime controls. Operators can follow its lifecycle through provisioning, use, and closure.
|
||
|
||
Implementation: [workspace list](../../ui/src/pages/Workspaces.tsx), [execution workspace](../../ui/src/pages/ExecutionWorkspaceDetail.tsx), [project workspace](../../ui/src/pages/ProjectWorkspaceDetail.tsx).
|
||
|
||
Agent access: [companion](../agent-access-map/workspaces.md).
|
||
|
||
## Sub-features
|
||
|
||
- `binding`: identify the workspace actually bound to a task/run.
|
||
- `provisioning`: observe readiness and failures instead of inferring readiness from a created record.
|
||
- `services`: start/stop supported services and inspect logs and exposed endpoints.
|
||
- `files-git`: inspect workspace files and repository state used for the deliverable.
|
||
- `closure`: close/reopen or reconcile through permitted controls without losing work.
|
||
|
||
## How to get to it (user POV)
|
||
|
||
### `task-workspace`
|
||
|
||
Use the task’s workspace card or Files panel and follow its workspace link.
|
||
|
||
### `workspace-management`
|
||
|
||
Open `/workspaces`, a project workspace, or `/execution-workspaces/:workspaceId` and its Services/Configuration/Runtime logs views.
|
||
|
||
## Driving it with Playwright and the Paperclip CLI
|
||
|
||
Preconditions: follow the [baseline](./README.md#before-driving-a-journey). Enable isolated-workspace UI where needed. Use an owned disposable repository and environment; record workspace ID and branch.
|
||
|
||
### `task-workspace`
|
||
|
||
Automated: [workspace card](../../ui/src/components/IssueWorkspaceCard.test.tsx) and [task binding](../../server/src/__tests__/issue-runtime-workspace-binding.test.ts) cover host/binding contracts.
|
||
|
||
Manual: Run a task that writes a small file, follow the bound workspace, and inspect the file and revision. Reload and verify links still refer to the same workspace, not another checkout or a stale run.
|
||
|
||
For task workspace selection, use the authorized task workspace API to choose a
|
||
task directory, project source, or existing workspace. Verify that a change
|
||
made during a run stays pending until the next normal admission. A projectless
|
||
task must retain its files across resume and reassignment. Use the repository
|
||
preparation API to add an authorized repository beneath that workspace;
|
||
repeat the request and verify that it reuses the checkout and pinned revision.
|
||
See [task binding tests](../../server/src/__tests__/task-workspace-binding.test.ts)
|
||
and [repository access tests](../../server/src/__tests__/task-workspace-repositories-trust.test.ts).
|
||
|
||
### `workspace-management`
|
||
|
||
Automated: [workspace detail](../../ui/src/pages/ExecutionWorkspaceDetail.test.tsx) and [runtime service](../../server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts) cover UI and runtime contracts separately.
|
||
|
||
Manual: Provision a disposable workspace, wait for readiness, start an available service, open its endpoint, and inspect a real response and logs. Stop it and verify it actually stops. Exercise close/reopen only after inspecting pending changes and active runs.
|
||
|
||
## Gotchas
|
||
|
||
- UI visibility, default isolation policy, the local environment row, a workspace
|
||
record, and a running service are distinct prerequisites. A fresh instance
|
||
still needs an owned cwd/repository and runtime commands; `/workspaces` lists
|
||
existing work. Reopening depends on lifecycle, not a generic detail action.
|
||
|
||
- A link or running badge does not prove the service is reachable from the user’s browser.
|
||
- Workspace IDs, runtime leases, and repository paths are not interchangeable.
|
||
- Organizational project, source project, task files, personal `AGENT_HOME`, and
|
||
provider home have separate meanings. Private source ownership remains attached
|
||
to copied files after source configuration changes or workspace closure.
|
||
- Use [recovery](./recovery.md) for divergence/export repair and [CLI operations](./cli-operations.md) for local worktree tooling.
