Greptile SummaryThe PR migrates JavaScript execution from Freestyle serverless runs to snapshot-backed Freestyle VMs while retaining the Vercel Sandbox fallback.
Confidence Score: 4/5The PR appears safe to merge, with one non-blocking requirement to replace the dynamic dependency object with a Map-based representation. The VM migration preserves retry and fallback behavior and includes bounded cleanup and result validation; the only accepted concern is the repository-policy violation at the new dynamic dependency boundary.

**Dynamic dependency object keys**
The new execution boundary accepts dynamic package names through a prototype-bearing `Record<string, string>` and assigns it directly to `package.json` dependencies. Use a `Map<string, string>` and explicitly serialize its entries so callers do not need to account for special prototype keys.

In `@apps/backend/scripts/freestyle-node-runtime-bundle.sh`:
- Around line 30-34: Update the runtime library collection around
copy_runtime_file to require libnss_dns.so.2 and libnss_files.so.2, failing
immediately when either required NSS library is absent instead of silently
skipping it. Extend the chroot validation alongside the node and npm version
checks with an actual hostname-resolution check before allowing hexclave-run-job
to proceed.
In `@apps/backend/src/lib/freestyle-vm-js-execution.ts`:
- Around line 134-144: Update the error metadata in the malformed JSON and
malformed execution-result branches of the Freestyle VM execution flow to
exclude raw resultJson and result customer content. Replace them with safe
structural information such as type/shape, length, and a deterministic hash,
while retaining vmId and the existing error messages.
- Around line 148-152: Bound the non-aborted cleanup await in the execution
cleanup flow by wrapping the VM deletion promise with awaitWithAbortSignal and
an AbortSignal.timeout-based deadline. Keep the adapter signature and
scheduleCleanup behavior unchanged, and route timeout failures through
options.onCleanupError while retaining ttlSeconds as the provider-side backstop.
In `@docs-mintlify/guides/other/self-host.mdx`:
- Line 292: Update the freestyle bootstrap command in the self-hosting guide to
include HEXCLAVE_FREESTYLE_SNAPSHOT_ID alongside HEXCLAVE_FREESTYLE_API_KEY,
using the same snapshot ID override documented for the server configuration.

Note
Medium Risk
Changes the production path for custom email and other sandboxed JS (new external dependency on a bootstrapped snapshot and VM lifecycle), though Vercel fallback and extensive unit tests mitigate operational and regression risk.
Overview
Freestyle JavaScript execution moves from the serverless runs API to short-lived VMs booted from a private BusyBox snapshot with Node 24. Production runs spawn a VM from
STACK_FREESTYLE_SNAPSHOT_ID(defaulthexclave-js-node24-v2), write user code and dependencies under/opt/hexclave-runtime/work, execute via PTY throughhexclave-run-job, and always tear down the VM—with deferred cleanup on abort so orphaned VMs are still deleted.Operators must bootstrap that snapshot once via
pnpm --filter @hexclave/backend freestyle:bootstrap-snapshot(checksum-pinned Node 24 download, temporary Ubuntu collector VM, snapshot build onfreestyle/busybox). Env templates and self-host docs now documentHEXCLAVE_FREESTYLE_SNAPSHOT_ID. ThefreestyleSDK is bumped to ^0.2.7; dev still uses the local mock HTTP path when the mock API key is set.Vercel Sandbox fallback and retry behavior are unchanged—failures from the new VM engine still fall through as before.
