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.

@paperclipai/adapter-utils
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

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.
