## Thinking Path > - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, and the sandbox-provider work just moved E2B into a standalone publishable plugin package. > - That plugin is intentionally excluded from the root pnpm workspace so it can model third-party install behavior without forcing lockfile churn in the main repo. > - The merged architecture change exposed a follow-up release problem: the canary publish workflow tried to publish `@paperclipai/plugin-e2b`, but the tarball had no `dist/` payload because standalone public packages were not being built in the release path. > - That means the release pipeline needed a packaging fix in core release tooling, not another architectural change in the sandbox provider itself. > - This pull request adds a generic release step for public packages that live outside the pnpm workspace, instead of hardcoding E2B-specific behavior into the release script. > - The benefit is that standalone publishable packages can be built and packed correctly during release, including future sandbox-provider plugins that follow the same pattern. ## What Changed - Added `scripts/build-standalone-public-packages.mjs` to discover public packages outside the pnpm workspace, run a clean package-local install, and build them before publish. - Updated `scripts/release.sh` to invoke that helper immediately after the normal workspace build step. - Kept the behavior generic by driving off the existing public package map and pnpm workspace patterns rather than special-casing `@paperclipai/plugin-e2b`. ## Verification - `rm -rf packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/e2b/dist` - `node ./scripts/build-standalone-public-packages.mjs` - `cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/e2b && npm pack --dry-run` - Confirm the tarball now includes the rebuilt `dist/` files instead of only `README.md` / `package.json` ## Risks - Low risk: this only changes the release build path for public packages outside the pnpm workspace. - The helper performs a clean package-local install for each standalone public package, so release time may increase slightly as more such packages are added. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap first.
