Raise the sandbox-to-host duplex bridge body cap from 256 KiB to the API JSON body limit plus one byte (10 MiB + 1). The bridge is a buffering backstop, not the policy limit, so a body of exactly the API limit passes through and the API issues its own 413. Fix and bound the change with these parts: - Add DEFAULT_JSON_BODY_LIMIT_BYTES and derive the "10mb" string from it so the byte form and the string form cannot drift. A cross-package test asserts the bridge cap equals this byte limit plus one. - Answer a clean 413 request_too_large, not a retryable 502 with the internal message, when a request body passes the bridge cap. readBody throws a typed error that each gateway maps to 413. - Add local in-sandbox body-read admission control. The gateway reserves one worst-case body per active read against a process-owned bound and sheds a new read with 503 when the bound is full. It releases the reserve on every terminal path. This protects the sandbox process; it is separate from the host ledger. - Pin the SSH command output buffer at 1 MiB with its own constant, so it no longer tracks the bridge body cap. - Raise the host pre-bind buffer to 16 MiB, sized from the body cap and the base64 body-chunk expansion, so one in-spec body cannot terminate its route.

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.

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) toremoteDirbefore the run starts. Runs with nogit remoteconfigured.restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... })— syncs the remote cwd back intolocalDirafter the run, including any new commits the agent created. Also runs with nogit remoteconfigured.
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.
