Priya RamanandPaperclip f09d5ba416 fix(sandbox): make a pre-response duplex forward failure non-retryable for a mutating method
The duplex broker forwarded each request and mapped a forward rejection to a
retryable 502 when its controller was not aborted. A fetch can reject after the
request bytes reach the host and the host commits a mutation, but before the
response headers arrive. A retry then sent a new request id outside the broker
deduplication set, so the host applied the mutation twice.

The broker now classifies a non-aborted forward rejection by method safety. A
safe method (GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE) never changes host state, so its
rejection stays a retryable 502. Any other method may have committed, so the
broker returns a non-retryable 504 and marks the outcome indeterminate. The
in-sandbox gateway maps the indeterminate outcome to a terminal 409, so a caller
never repeats a possibly-committed mutation. Add broker coverage for both paths.

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.
