fix(cursor-local): resolve sandbox agent installs from cursor bin (#5686)
> _Stacked on top of #5685 (Harden remote sandbox runtime). Diff against
master includes commits from earlier PRs in the stack — review focuses
on the new commit only._

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The cursor-local adapter wraps the Cursor Agent CLI so a Paperclip
workflow can drive it inside a sandbox
> - When the adapter runs in a remote sandbox, the Cursor Agent CLI
installs under `$HOME/.local/bin/cursor-agent` (or wherever
`$XDG_BIN_HOME` points), not on the global PATH
> - The existing post-install resolution assumed `cursor-agent` would
resolve via the sandbox's login shell PATH after `npm install -g`, which
fails on sandboxes where the install lands in a user-prefixed directory
that isn't on PATH at probe time
> - This pull request resolves the agent CLI from the cursor binary's
own directory (`dirname "$(command -v cursor)"`) so the install probe
and execute path agree on a real binary location
> - The benefit is that cursor-local works correctly on any sandbox
provider where `npm install` lands in a user-prefixed directory

## What Changed

- `packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/remote-command.ts`: resolve
the cursor-agent binary from the cursor bin directory after install,
instead of relying on PATH.
- `packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/test.ts`: corresponding
probe tweak.
- `packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/test.test.ts` (new) +
`remote-command.test.ts`: focused coverage that exercises the install +
resolve path against a sandbox runner that places the binary in a
user-prefixed directory.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --no-coverage
packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/test.test.ts
packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/remote-command.test.ts
packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`

All passing locally.

## Risks

- Local cursor-local runs are unaffected — the resolution change only
kicks in for the sandbox install path.
- Low risk; isolated to one adapter.

## Model Used

- Provider: Anthropic
- Model: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context)
- Capabilities used: tool use (Read/Edit/Bash), no code execution beyond
local repo commands

Stabilize Cursor sandbox runtime resolution (#5446)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The Cursor adapter spawns the Cursor CLI against local, SSH, and
sandbox execution targets; on a fresh sandbox lease, it has to resolve
where Cursor was installed
> - The previous resolver only looked for `~/.local/bin/cursor-agent`
even though the official installer (and the adapter's own
`SANDBOX_INSTALL_COMMAND`) sometimes lays the binary down as
`~/.local/bin/agent`, so a sandbox where the install ran successfully
would still fail to find the CLI
> - This pull request lets the resolver accept either basename and lets
the caller pass an optional `remoteSystemHomeDirHint` so a probe doesn't
pay the cost of a remote `printf $HOME` round-trip when the home
directory is already known
> - The benefit is sandboxed Cursor runs find the binary that the
install actually produced, and runtime probes are cheaper when the home
dir is already resolved

## What Changed

- `packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/remote-command.ts`: accept
either `agent` or `cursor-agent` as the preferred basename; new optional
`remoteSystemHomeDirHint` short-circuits the home-dir probe
- `packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/execute.ts`: thread the
home-dir hint through, prefer the resolved binary path, and shift the
effective execution cwd to the per-run managed subdirectory once the
runtime is prepared
- New `remote-command.test.ts` and `execute.test.ts` cover both
basenames, the hint short-circuit, and the cwd shift
- `packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/index.ts`: update doc string to
reflect the broader resolution
- `execute.remote.test.ts` updated to expect the managed-subdirectory
cwd shape introduced by the cwd shift

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run --no-coverage --project
@paperclipai/adapter-cursor-local` — 6/6 passing
- `pnpm typecheck` clean
- Manual: a fresh sandbox lease with `npm install -g …`-installed Cursor
(binary lands as `~/.local/bin/agent`) now runs cleanly through the
adapter

## Risks

Low. Resolver is strictly broader (matches a superset of paths);
existing setups with `~/.local/bin/cursor-agent` continue to work. The
home-dir hint is opt-in; callers that don't pass it get the existing
probe behavior. Cursor's effective execution cwd now matches the rest of
the adapters (per-run managed subdirectory) — sessions previously rooted
at the workspace root will land in the new subdirectory.
