## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Every pull request runs the `ci / Build` check. This check was the slowest check in recent green runs: 432s in run 39254079691, 480s in run 39251304886 and 472s in run 39245233967. > - The slowest step in Build is "Verify built-in Grok from a clean public npm install" (162s and 207s). Its consumer `npm install` took 69s and 75s, even though a background step fills the npm cache first. > - The loopback registry in `scripts/public-install-registry.mjs` sends packages that it does not serve to npmjs with a 302 redirect. It escaped scoped names with `encodeURIComponent` (`%40scope%2Fname`). npm requests and caches the same metadata as `@scope%2fname`, and npm keys cached metadata by URL. > - Thus the consumer install could not use the scoped metadata that the warm-up had just put in the cache. It downloaded and parsed all 291 scoped packuments again (about 285 MB of full packument JSON) inside the 4-vCPU container. > - This pull request makes the redirect use the same escaping as npm. > - The benefit is a shorter Build check on every pull request. The installed bytes do not change. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **Describe the bug** The consumer install in the public-install verifier does not use cached scoped package metadata. The warm-up step (`scripts/warm-public-install-npm-cache.mjs`) caches this metadata through direct npm requests. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Run `PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_INSTALL_NPM_CACHE=/tmp/c node scripts/warm-public-install-npm-cache.mjs`. 2. Install the same dependency set through the loopback registry with `npm_config_cache=/tmp/c` and `--loglevel http`. 3. Count the `(cache miss)` lines. **Expected behavior** No cache misses for metadata that the warm-up already fetched. **Actual behavior** 291 cache misses. All of them are scoped packages that are requested as `https://registry.npmjs.org/%40scope%2Fname`. The cache holds them as `https://registry.npmjs.org/@scope%2fname`. Related: #16513 changes when the verifier waits for the warm-up. This pull request does not overlap with it, and the two changes add together. ## What Changed - `scripts/public-install-registry.mjs`: the 302 redirect for packages that the registry does not serve now uses npm's own escaping (`name.replace('/', '%2f')`, the same as npm-package-arg `escapedName`). The `packageName` check already allows only characters that need no other escaping. - `scripts/__tests__/public-install-registry.test.mjs`: the test now expects `@other%2fpkg` for a scoped redirect. A new assertion covers an unscoped redirect. ## Verification - `node --test scripts/__tests__/public-install-registry.test.mjs`: 3 of 3 pass. This includes the real npm install test that compares installed bytes from file installs and registry installs. - Local replay (Linux, npm 11.12.1). I filled a fresh cache with the warm-up script, then installed the same 62-dependency set (627 packages) through the registry: - Before: 291 cache misses, 28.3s. - After: 0 cache misses, 19.8s. - I also ran the real `scripts/public-install-registry.mjs` with a packed root package that depends on the full public dependency set. Result: 2 misses (only the loopback package and its tarball, as expected) and 1438 cache hits. - To compare on CI, look at `consumer_install_ms` in the `paperclip.public-npm-install.timing.v1` line of the Build log. Baseline: 68822 ms (run 39254079691) and 75175 ms (run 39251304886). ## Risks - Low risk. The redirect target is the same npmjs document. Only the URL escaping changes. npm still checks every tarball against the integrity in the packument. - If the npm cache holds stale scoped metadata, npm revalidates it the same way as it does for direct requests (`cache-control: max-age=300`). - The expected time saving comes from a local measurement. The real Build saving depends on the network and CPU of the runner. I expect about 10–20s per Build run. The CI timing line will confirm the number. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, used through Claude Code as a Paperclip agent with tool use (shell, file edit).
