nickyleachandPaperclip e3680ed78b fix(adapters): teach the API helper to send a body, an upload, and a status code
Some skills send a request body from a file or from standard input, upload
one file as a multipart part, or need the numeric HTTP status code apart
from the response body. The token-free API helper could not express any of
these three shapes, so a skill still had to fall back to a form that puts
the bearer token on the command line.

Add "-d @-" and "-d @<path>" to read a body from standard input or a file,
as bytes. Add "-F 'field=@<path>;type=<mime>'" for one multipart file part:
the helper builds the boundary from a cryptographic random source, rejects
a carriage return, a line feed, a double quote, or a backslash in the
field name, file name, or content type, and confirms the boundary does not
collide with the assembled body before it sends the request. Add "-o
<path>" to write the response body to a file, and "--status" to write only
the numeric status code, matching the existing curl form these skills use
today.

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.

For the adapter-author guide see docs/adapters/creating-an-adapter.md and the in-repo notes at packages/adapters/AUTHORING.md.

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) to remoteDir before the run starts. Runs with no git remote configured.
  • restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... }) — syncs the remote cwd back into localDir after the run, including any new commits the agent created. Also runs with no git remote configured.

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.
