Closes the uncapped-remote-launch issue just filed.'

Found by the 2026-08-18 GPU-plane architecture pass: launch.ts:221 constructs RemoteExecutor() with no options and nothing anywhere sets max_wallclock — every remote launch since the feature landed was uncapped. On a bundle with no cooperative stop, the client-side lostAfterMs only marks our view terminal; the job keeps running and billing.

Fix: the cap is never optional — ladder `explicit > $AMICODE_REMOTE_MAX_WALLCLOCK_S > 7200s default`, payload always carries it. 2 new tests pin all three rungs; 23/23 remote suite, 1035/1036 package (the 1 = pre-existing agent_spawn hermeticity leak), tsc clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Remote executions now always receive a wall-clock time limit.
    • The limit uses the configured value, environment setting, or a 7,200-second default.
    • Cloud submissions consistently include the resolved execution limit.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

RemoteExecutor now resolves a wall-clock limit from options, the environment, or a 7200-second default. Every remote submission includes this value in payload.max_wallclock. Tests cover all resolution paths.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and submit wall-clock limit

RemoteExecutor always resolves maxWallclock and sends it in remote submission payloads. Tests cover the default, explicit option, and environment override.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f7257

The change makes a wall-clock cap mandatory for remote launches, but malformed explicit values can still bypass validation and produce invalid or non-positive limits; this is a bounded correctness risk requiring owner awareness and follow-up validation.

Test explicit-over-environment precedence.

These cases verify explicit and environment values separately. They do not detect a regression where the environment value overrides an explicit option. Set both values in one assertion and expect max_wallclock to remain 300.

As stated in the PR objective, the required precedence is explicit value, then AMICODE_REMOTE_MAX_WALLCLOCK_S, then the 7200-second default.

Validate opts.maxWallclock before applying precedence.

NaN, Infinity, zero, and negative explicit values bypass validation and reach payload.max_wallclock; non-finite values serialize as null. Reject invalid explicit values and add tests. Preserve explicit, environment, then default precedence.

Scope and restore AMICODE_REMOTE_MAX_WALLCLOCK_S in every test.

The default test assumes that the variable is absent, but it does not clear an inherited value. The override test deletes the variable instead of restoring its previous value. CI or developer-shell state can make the test nondeterministic and can affect later tests. Snapshot the previous value, clear it around the default assertion, and restore it in finally around the override assertion.
