## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - When an agent runs on a different host (sandbox or SSH), the adapter transport copies the local git execution workspace to that host and syncs changes back after the run > - The transport materializes the remote copy with `git init` plus a depth-1 or bundle fetch, so the copy has no `origin` remote and its head reads as a parentless snapshot commit > - An agent asked to publish its branch (push it, open a pull request) sees "no remote, root snapshot" and must hand the publish step back to a human operator, even when the branch base is a commit the upstream remote already holds > - This pull request carries the workspace's `origin` URL (credential-scrubbed) onto the transported copy as metadata > - The benefit is that branches produced in transported workspaces stay publishable by any actor with credentials, while the transport itself still never fetches or pushes ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No public issue exists. Description follows the enhancement template: **What existing behavior does this improve?** The workspace transport in `@paperclipai/adapter-utils` already copies a git workspace to the execution host and back. This change improves the fidelity of that copy: the transported repo keeps the workspace's `origin` remote instead of losing it. **Subsystem affected** Adapter utilities — the sandbox transport (`withShallowGitWorkspaceClone` in `packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.ts`) and the SSH transport (`importGitWorkspaceToSsh` in `packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts`). **Current behavior** The transported copy is built with `git init` plus a depth-1 (sandbox) or bundle (SSH) fetch. It has no remotes. `git remote -v` is empty and the head commit reads as a root snapshot with no visible ancestry. Agents and operators inside the execution host cannot fetch real ancestry or push a branch, even when the branch base is a commit the upstream remote already holds. **Proposed behavior** The transport reads the source workspace's `origin` URL, scrubs credentials from it, and configures it on the transported copy. The sandbox path adds the remote to the fresh clone. The SSH path sets or adds the remote in the remote setup script, which also covers reused workspace directories. A workspace with no `origin` transports exactly as before. **Reason and benefit** A branch committed in a transported workspace becomes publishable in place: the shallow boundary commit already exists on the remote, so a push pack closes without full local ancestry (a new test locks in this property). Fetching real ancestry also becomes possible for whoever holds credentials. Without this, agents must describe their change in a handoff document and a human must reconstruct the branch by hand. **Breaking changes** None. The URL copy is best-effort and metadata-only. The transport never fetches from or pushes to the remote. The no-remote-git contract holds: sync-back through the local cwd stays the only cross-run persistence path, and `packages/adapters/AUTHORING.md` gains a paragraph that makes the carried-remote nuance explicit. ## What Changed - `packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.ts`: new `sanitizeGitRemoteUrl` (strips http(s) userinfo, where tokens can be embedded; scp-like/ssh forms and filesystem paths pass through) and `readSanitizedOriginRemoteUrl`; `withShallowGitWorkspaceClone` configures the scrubbed `origin` on the fresh clone, best-effort. - `packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts`: `importGitWorkspaceToSsh` sets or adds the scrubbed `origin` in the remote setup script, non-fatal under `set -e`. - `packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts`: four new integration cases (remote copied, credentials scrubbed, no-origin unchanged, push from the shallow clone to an origin that holds the base commit) plus `sanitizeGitRemoteUrl` unit tests. - `packages/adapters/AUTHORING.md`: documents that a transported copy may carry a credential-scrubbed `origin` as metadata, and why this does not weaken the no-remote-git contract. ## Verification - `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts` — 12/12 pass (4 new integration cases + sanitizer unit tests). - `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — 24/24 pass. - `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts` — 16/16 pass, including the `no-remote-git contract` case (a workspace without `origin` still round-trips with no remote introduced at any point). - `node scripts/check-no-git-push.mjs` — passes; this change adds no push or fetch to adapter/runtime code. - `pnpm typecheck` in `packages/adapter-utils` — clean. ## Risks - Low risk. The change is additive metadata on the transported copy only; failure to record the remote never fails the transport. - Credential exposure is the real hazard and is handled: http(s) userinfo is stripped before the URL leaves the host. Non-http forms (scp-like, `ssh://`) carry no secret in the URL and pass through. - A reused SSH workspace whose project `origin` changed now gets the current URL via `set-url` instead of keeping a stale one. ## Model Used Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), Anthropic — extended thinking, agentic tool use via Claude Code CLI. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge
