Summary

Related to #440. When a detached Vercel command loses its output or completion stream after submission, eve cannot safely infer whether the shell command finished. This RFC prototype never replays the command: it resumes the named persistent sandbox, replaces the handle used by subsequent operations, and reports that completion is unknown so the model can inspect state before deciding whether to retry.

The prototype recognizes structured Vercel stream failures and the observed undici socket termination. Ordinary command failures remain unchanged, and failed sandbox reattachment is reported separately. This is independent of #2573's command deadline; review should focus on the no-replay boundary and whether reattaching before returning the tool error is the right recovery contract.

Validation

Focused coverage verifies transport classification, one-time error mapping, exactly one command submission, successful reattachment, subsequent use of the replacement handle, failed reattachment, and the production file-length invariant. The full unit tier passed with 7,085 tests and one skip.

Checklist

  • This change was requested or approved by a maintainer
  • I ran the relevant checks from CONTRIBUTING.md
  • I added tests and documentation where relevant
  • I added a changeset if this touches the published eve package
  • DCO sign-off passes for every commit (git commit --signoff)

Docs — 2 files · +6 / -0

Documents the no-replay recovery semantics and includes the required release note.

Implementation — 6 files · +185 / -94

Adds transport classification, explicit unknown-outcome errors, supported Vercel reattachment, and replaceable session handles. Command-session handling is extracted from vercel.ts to keep each production file within the repository line-count limit.

Tests — 3 files · +114 / -4

Covers classification, error mapping, the no-replay invariant, successful recovery, replacement-handle use, and recovery failure without remote sandbox provisioning.

Package Details

  • Package: eve@0.44.4
  • Package directory: packages/eve
  • Tarball: 8.23 MB (eve-0.44.4.tgz)
  • Unpacked payload: 31.01 MB across 3511 published files
  • Installed footprint: 75.22 MB across 7226 installed files
  • Installed root package: 29.66 MB
  • Installed dependencies: 45.57 MB
  • Installed package instances: 35
  • Distinct installed package names: 34
  • Installed dependency edges: 53
  • Installed optional peer edges: 47
  • Runtime dependencies: 2
  • Peer dependencies: 5 (4 optional)

Installed footprint is measured from an isolated temporary npm install of the packed tarball.
Graph metrics read only package.json files in package directories directly beneath a node_modules boundary, including nested boundaries. Each directory is one package instance; distinct names come from those manifests. Dependency edges count each unique name in dependencies or optionalDependencies per instance; optional peer edges count peerDependencies marked optional.

Build Timing: e2e/fixtures/agent-tools-sandbox

This is an informational timing measurement inside eve build, from preflight through publication. Output-size measurement and profile writing are excluded.

Build mode: deployable Vercel build with sandbox template prewarm included.

  • Build pipeline: 2.34 s -> 2.41 s (+62.3 ms) vs main (cfa90d6).
  • Timing is informational: shared GitHub runners are too variable for a hard timing budget.
