Devin FoleyandClaude ea1e321d86 Fix Daytona resource overrides for image-backed sandboxes (#8564)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote sandbox providers are part of the execution environment layer
that lets agents run outside the local host.
> - The Daytona sandbox-provider plugin exposes CPU, memory, disk, and
GPU settings so operators can request larger execution sandboxes.
> - The plugin was forwarding resource settings through snapshot/default
creation, but Daytona rejects resource overrides on that path.
> - Image-backed Daytona creation does support resource settings, so
Paperclip should only send those values when an image is configured.
> - This pull request makes the Daytona contract explicit in validation
and runtime acquisition.
> - The benefit is that operators get a clear Paperclip error for
unsupported snapshot/default resource configs, while image-backed
sandboxes still receive the requested allocation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists.

### What happened?

Daytona sandbox environments can be configured with CPU/memory/disk/GPU
resource settings, but snapshot/default Daytona sandbox creation rejects
those resource overrides. Paperclip could pass unsupported resource
fields through to Daytona and surface an opaque provider error.

### Expected behavior

Paperclip should only send resource fields on Daytona creation paths
that support them, and it should reject unsupported resource
configurations before creating a sandbox.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Configure a Daytona sandbox environment with resource values such as
`cpu: 4` and `memory: 4`.
2. Leave the environment on snapshot/default creation by not setting an
image.
3. Acquire a Daytona sandbox lease.
4. Observe Daytona reject the resource override on the snapshot/default
path.

### Paperclip version or commit

Reproduced against the current Daytona sandbox-provider plugin behavior
before this PR. This PR fixes the contract in the plugin code and tests.

### Deployment mode

Local authenticated Paperclip instance using the Daytona sandbox
provider.

Additional scope:
- Daytona provider only.
- No schema changes.
- No non-Daytona provider changes.

Related search performed:
- `gh search issues "Daytona resources snapshot
repo:paperclipai/paperclip" --limit 10`
- `gh search prs "Daytona resources snapshot repo:paperclipai/paperclip"
--limit 10`

## What Changed

- Restrict Daytona `resources` create params to image-backed sandbox
creation.
- Add validation/runtime guard for resource settings without an image.
- Keep image-backed resource metadata and reusable-lease sentinel
behavior covered by tests.
- Update Daytona plugin tests for image-backed resources and
snapshot/default rejection.

## Verification

- `pnpm -C packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona test`
- `pnpm -C packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona build`
- Manual Daytona SDK probe in a local authenticated instance:
image-backed creation with `daytonaio/sandbox:0.8.0` returned a 4 CPU /
4 GiB sandbox and deleted cleanly.
- Greptile Review: 5/5, no inline comments.

## Risks

- Existing Daytona environments that set resource values while relying
on snapshot/default creation will now fail validation/acquisition with a
clear error instead of calling Daytona and failing there.
- Operators who need custom resource sizes should use image-backed
creation or a provider-side resource-sized snapshot workflow.
- Low migration risk: no database schema changes and no changes to
non-Daytona providers.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent. Exact context window is not exposed in
this environment. Tool-enabled workflow with shell, GitHub CLI, database
inspection, and local test/build execution.
