## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Grok Local needs displayed-code login support in the sandbox login
panel.
**Why this adapter is useful**
This change lets users sign in to Grok from the sandbox login panel. It
also gives later Grok runs access to the stored credential.
**How the agent is invoked**
The Grok local adapter uses its login command through the shared
displayed-code login flow. Later runs receive the managed home through
`GROK_HOME`.
**Additional context**
The change uses adapter-scoped login lifecycle handling. It stores the
credential in a company-scoped directory with mode `0700`, and it stores
the credential file with mode `0600`.
## What Changed
- Rename the shared device-login modules to adapter-neutral names.
- Scope the shared login lifecycle to a closed adapter set.
- Return the device-login URL that the provider prints.
- Add the Grok prompt parser, login command, capability, and login panel
entry.
- Store the Grok credential in a private, company-scoped home directory.
- Pass `GROK_HOME` to later Grok runs.
- Add tests for the Grok adapter, the Daytona sandbox provider, the
server login path, and the user interface.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/adapter-auth-promotion.test.ts`.
- Run the Grok adapter package suite.
- Run the Daytona sandbox provider suite.
- Run the server device-login suites.
- Run the user interface suite.
- Confirm the full CI suite passes.
## Risks
The change extends shared login lifecycle code to another adapter. A
regression could affect Codex login. The credential path uses explicit
`chmod` calls to keep the directory at mode `0700` and the file at mode
`0600`.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime used tool calls and code review
support. The runtime did not provide a context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Local agent adapters (`claude_local`, `gemini_local`, `grok_local`,
…) are the integration surface that lets Paperclip run coding CLIs on
the host machine
> - The Kimi Code CLI (`kimi`, Moonshot AI) has a documented
non-interactive mode, `kimi -p --output-format stream-json` with session
resume via `kimi -r`, but Paperclip has no built-in adapter for it
> - So Kimi users (especially Kimi membership / OAuth subscribers)
cannot onboard their CLI to Paperclip agent teams
> - This pull request adds a complete built-in `kimi_local` adapter
(both execution engines, session management, instructions + skills
delivery, thinking-effort control, environment test, UI and CLI modules,
docs) following the established `gemini_local`/`grok_local` package
pattern
> - Kimi Code ships an ACP server (`kimi acp`), so the adapter runs on
Paperclip's shared acpx engine by default (streaming transcript with
live tool status, like `claude_local`/`gemini_local`) and falls back to
a headless CLI lane (`kimi -p --output-format stream-json`) when ACP
prerequisites are unavailable
> - The benefit is that Kimi Code becomes a first-class Paperclip agent
lane: selectable in the UI, resumable across heartbeats, with the same
operating context (instruction bundle, skills, effort) and streaming
transcript the other local adapters get
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Supersedes #9880 (same branch; expanded from the CLI-only lane into a
complete adapter with the default ACP engine lane, control-plane skill
install, and live transcript wiring)
- Refs #9879 (adapter request for Kimi Code CLI, filed with this PR)
- Refs #163 (original Kimi support request)
Duplicate/related prior PRs, per the dedup search (both appear stale: no
updates or maintainer review since May 2026, and both target an older
Kimi CLI interface; calling them out for reviewer context per
CONTRIBUTING.md):
- Refs #6276 (`feat: add kimi-local adapter`): targets an older
array-based content format (`{type: think}`/`{type: text}` blocks), not
the current documented stream-json schema
- Refs #5202 (`feat(adapter): add Kimi CLI local adapter with Wire
protocol support`): builds on a `--wire` JSON-RPC interface that current
Kimi Code CLI (0.27.0) no longer documents; the current documented
headless interface is `-p --output-format stream-json`
This PR is a fresh implementation against current master and the
currently documented/verified Kimi CLI behavior (see Verification).
Happy to fold in anything useful from the earlier attempts if a reviewer
prefers.
## What Changed
- **New adapter package** `packages/adapters/kimi-local`
(`@paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local`), modeled on
`gemini-local`/`grok-local`:
- `src/server/execute.ts`: spawns `kimi -p <prompt> --output-format
stream-json` (argv array, no shell), `-m <model>` only when configured,
`-r <sessionId>` when the stored session cwd matches the run cwd,
automatic fresh-session retry on unrecoverable-session errors,
headless-safe env (`CI=1`, `NO_COLOR=1`, `KIMI_CODE_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1`,
`TERM=dumb`; user-configured values win), full remote (ssh/sandbox)
execution lane with runtime install via `@moonshot-ai/kimi-code`
- **Instruction bundle delivery**: the prompt path directive now names
the sibling instruction files (`./HEARTBEAT.md`, `./SOUL.md`,
`./TOOLS.md`) alongside the prepended entry file, and local runs pass
`--add-dir <instructions-dir>` so Kimi can actually open them (matching
`claude_local`). Without this, only the entry file reached Kimi and
agents improvised the operating workflow that `HEARTBEAT.md` documents
- **Thinking effort**: a configured `effort` is forwarded as the
`KIMI_MODEL_THINKING_EFFORT` operational override (Kimi has no
per-invocation effort flag). It is only sent for models that advertise
`support_efforts` (currently `kimi-code/k3`) to avoid provider
rejections, and `medium` maps to `high` since Kimi has no medium tier
(`low`/`high`/`max` pass through)
- **Skills delivery**: desired Paperclip skills are delivered via Kimi's
`--skills-dir` flag from a dedicated per-run directory (a local
snapshot, or the synced snapshot on remote targets), so skills load
reliably and in isolation. Paperclip never overwrites the shared
`$KIMI_CODE_HOME/skills` home, so skills installed by the operator or
other agents are left intact. `--skills-dir` is only passed when at
least one skill is desired, so unconfigured agents keep Kimi's default
skill discovery
- **Live run status**: the adapter now forwards each streamed
stream-json line to `onEvent` (assistant `content` as an assistant
snippet, `tool_calls` as tool-name events), which drives the
issue-thread activity indicator (`currentToolName` /
`lastAssistantSnippet` / `lastEventAt`). Previously the adapter only
wrote the raw run log, so the issue thread showed a stale "no output for
N s" line with no tool or reasoning context while Kimi worked. Tool
results are omitted so the last meaningful "Using X" / snippet is not
overwritten by a generic label
- `src/server/parse.ts`: parses the verified Kimi stream-json event
shapes (`assistant` text, `assistant.tool_calls` with JSON-string
arguments, `tool` results, trailing `meta.session.resume_hint` for
session-id capture) plus failure classifiers (`kimi_auth_required`,
transient network, unrecoverable session). A signaled exit (null exit
code, not a timeout) is now reported as a failure rather than coalesced
to success, and the error message names the terminating signal
- `src/server/skills.ts`: lists/syncs Paperclip skills for the adapter's
skill-management surface
- `src/server/test.ts`: environment test covering CLI resolution + `kimi
--version`, cwd check, auth detection (OAuth credential dirs, keyed
`[providers.*]` in config.toml, or the `KIMI_MODEL_NAME` +
`KIMI_MODEL_API_KEY` env pair), and a live hello probe
- `src/ui/` (stdout-line parser for transcripts, config builder) and
`src/cli/` (stream event formatter) modules
- Root metadata: three managed model aliases
(`kimi-code/kimi-for-coding`, `kimi-code/kimi-for-coding-highspeed`,
`kimi-code/k3`), effort-capable-model metadata (`EFFORT_CAPABLE_MODELS`,
effort mapping helpers), `agentConfigurationDoc`
- Tests: 101 tests across parse, execute (args building, resume gating,
retry, auth error code, timeout, signaled-exit failure, effort
forwarding/gating/mapping, `--add-dir` instructions directive,
`--skills-dir` gating, `onEvent` runtime-event forwarding), ACP engine
(engine resolution, acpx config build, node-version gate), ACP
transcript delegation, environment test, UI parse/build-config
- **ACP engine lane (default)** (`src/server/acp.ts` + shared
`adapter-utils/acpx-engine`): Kimi Code ships an ACP server (`kimi
acp`), so `kimi_local` now runs on Paperclip's shared acpx engine by
default, matching `claude_local`/`codex_local`/`gemini_local`. The
issue-thread transcript streams live (assistant text deltas, tool calls
with a `pending`->`completed` status lifecycle) instead of the CLI
lane's bursty complete-message output. Registered `kimi_local -> "kimi"`
in `ACPX_ADAPTER_AGENT_IDS` and resolved the built-in agent command to
`kimi acp`; `execute.ts` dispatches to the ACP executor first with an
automatic CLI fallback when ACP prerequisites fail (`engine=acp`
requires ACP, `engine=cli` pins the headless lane); `index.ts` falls
back to the shared acpx session codec; the UI/CLI delegate `acpx.*`
events to the shared acpx transcript parser and event formatter. The
headless CLI lane (above) remains as the fallback
- **Registration** (one entry each, mirroring existing adapters): server
adapter registry + `BUILTIN_ADAPTER_TYPES`, `AGENT_ADAPTER_TYPES`
(shared), UI adapter registry + display registry (`Kimi Code`, Moon
icon) + capabilities defaults, CLI adapter registry, `Dockerfile`
(package copy + `npm install --global @moonshot-ai/kimi-code@latest`),
`vitest.config.ts` workspace, `scripts/release-package-manifest.json`
- **Behavioral sets** mirroring `gemini_local` (Kimi resumes sessions
the same way): `GIT_SENSITIVE_LOCAL_ADAPTER_TYPES`,
`SESSIONED_LOCAL_ADAPTERS` (heartbeat + recovery),
`REMOTE_MANAGED_ADAPTERS`, ssh/sandbox execution-target allow-lists,
`ADAPTER_DEFAULT_RULES_BY_TYPE` (`timeoutSec: 0`, `graceSec: 15`), and
`LEGACY_SESSIONED_ADAPTER_TYPES` + `ADAPTER_SESSION_MANAGEMENT` in
adapter-utils
- **UI touch-points**: New Agent default-model branch, AgentConfigForm
command map (`kimi_local: "kimi"`) + model defaults + a Kimi-specific
thinking-effort option list (`Low`/`High`/`Max`, reflecting Kimi's tiers
rather than borrowing Claude's), OnboardingWizard (command map, model
default, `kimi login` / `KIMI_MODEL_NAME + KIMI_MODEL_API_KEY` auth
hints, manual-debug command line), InviteLanding enabled adapters
- **Control-plane skill install** (`cli/src/commands/client/agent.ts`):
`paperclipai agent local-cli` seeded the Paperclip control-plane skills
into `~/.codex/skills` and `~/.claude/skills` so Codex/Claude agents
auto-discover the API reference every run. Kimi had no equivalent
target, so `kimi_local` agents began each session without the
control-plane skill and rediscovered routes (e.g. the company-scoped
`POST /api/companies/{companyId}/issues`) by trial and error. Added
`~/.kimi-code/skills` (honoring `KIMI_CODE_HOME`) as a third install
target for parity. Independent of the per-run `--skills-dir` delivery,
which only applies to explicitly configured skills.
- **Docs**: `docs/adapters/kimi-local.md` (prerequisites, auth options,
config fields including `effort`, session resume, instruction bundle,
skills delivery, control-plane skill install) + a row in
`docs/adapters/overview.md`
Out of scope (deliberately): model profiles, built-in agent
`allowedAdapterTypes` additions.
## Verification\n\nCurrent-master rebase verification (OpenAI Codex,
2026-08-03): 13 focused files / 231 tests pass; adapter-utils, server,
UI, CLI, and Kimi adapter typechecks pass; full repository build and UI
token gates pass. The branch is conflict-free against master at head
`1249df117c5e12e5771b9a570a6340866450619e`.\n\nAutomated (all from repo
root, pnpm 9.15.4, Node 22):
- `vitest run packages/adapters/kimi-local`: 89/89 pass (includes
coverage for the instruction `--add-dir` directive, effort
forwarding/gating/mapping, `--skills-dir` gating, the signaled-exit
failure path, and `onEvent` runtime-event forwarding with cross-chunk
line buffering)
- `vitest run server/src/__tests__/adapter-registry.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/adapter-routes.test.ts
server/src/services/heartbeat-stop-metadata.test.ts
ui/src/adapters/adapter-display-registry.test.ts`: 37/37 pass
- `vitest run cli/src/__tests__/skills.test.ts`: 13/13 pass (the
control-plane skill install target follows the existing Codex/Claude
install path, whose symlink logic is unchanged)
- `vitest run packages/shared`: 307/307 pass; `vitest run
packages/adapter-utils`: pass except one pre-existing, unrelated failure
(`mcp-isolation.integration.test.ts` requires Claude CLI ≥ 2.1.207; host
has 2.1.185, fails identically on unmodified master)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local typecheck|build`, plus
typecheck of `server`, `ui`, `cli`, `adapter-utils`: all clean
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`: passes (the PR diff itself contains
no lockfile changes, per repo policy; verified against a locally
regenerated lockfile)
- `node scripts/check-no-git-push.mjs` and `node
scripts/check-forbidden-tokens.mjs`: pass
- CI note: the `policy` job's release-bootstrap step is expected to stay
red until a maintainer bootstraps the first npm publish of
`@paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local`; see the CI Note for Maintainers
comment. All other contributor-actionable checks are green.
Manual end-to-end (real Kimi CLI 0.27.0, OAuth login, dev server on an
isolated instance):
1. Server `GET /api/adapters` lists `kimi_local` as builtin with correct
capability flags; models endpoint returns the three Kimi models
2. `POST .../adapters/kimi_local/test-environment`: all checks pass,
including a live `kimi -p` hello probe
3. Created a `kimi_local` agent and invoked two heartbeats: run 1
spawned `kimi -p ... --output-format stream-json`, Kimi used its `Read`
tool, produced the expected answer, and the session id was captured from
the `session.resume_hint` meta event; run 2 resumed the **same** Kimi
session (`sessionIdBefore == sessionIdAfter`) via `-r`
4. UI: adapter appears in the New Agent dropdown; selecting it shows the
Kimi command placeholder, the three models, and the Kimi config fields;
the run transcript renders Kimi tool calls via the adapter's stdout
parser
The instruction-bundle, thinking-effort, and `--skills-dir` changes
landed after the manual run above. They are covered by the unit tests
listed under Automated, and the Kimi CLI flags they rely on
(`--add-dir`, `--skills-dir`, `KIMI_MODEL_THINKING_EFFORT`) were
confirmed against the installed Kimi Code CLI 0.27.0 (`kimi --help`,
config-file thinking-effort docs).
Screenshots (assets branch on the fork, not part of the diff):
## Risks
- Low risk to existing behavior: the change is additive, one new
workspace package plus single-entry registrations alongside existing
adapters; no existing adapter code paths are modified.
- The adapter invokes the locally installed `kimi` CLI; like other local
adapters, run behavior depends on the host's Kimi version. The parser is
written against the documented/verified 0.27.0 stream-json schema and
degrades gracefully (malformed lines are skipped, failures surface as
run errors).
- `--skills-dir` overrides Kimi's auto-discovery of user and project
skills for the run. This is intentional (paperclip-managed agents get a
reproducible, isolated skill set), and it is only passed when at least
one Paperclip skill is desired, so unconfigured agents keep default
discovery.
- Thinking effort is only forwarded to models that advertise
`support_efforts` (currently `kimi-code/k3`); `EFFORT_CAPABLE_MODELS`
must be extended when more Kimi models gain support, otherwise a
configured effort is silently ignored for them.
- `Dockerfile` now installs `@moonshot-ai/kimi-code@latest` globally
alongside the other agent CLIs, so image size increases slightly.
- Maintainer action needed for the npm bootstrap gate: the `policy`
job's release-bootstrap step fails until the first npm publish of
`@paperclipai/adapter-kimi-local` (the gate from #5146 that every new
adapter package has passed through). Enrollment with `publishFromCi:
true` is required by the manifest validator (dropping the entry,
`false`, or `private` are all rejected), so this is intentionally left
to a maintainer. Remaining CI lanes are expected to run once it is done.
## Model Used\n\n- **Current-master rebase, conflict adaptation, and
registry-parity coverage:** OpenAI, **GPT-5 Codex** (Codex agent; exact
serving model ID and context-window size were not exposed to the
runtime), with repository, shell, Git, and GitHub tooling. It preserved
Hawik’s commit authorship, reconciled ACPX and environment-capability
changes, added current registry tests, and ran the verification
above.\n- **Adapter implementation and initial review:** Moonshot AI,
**Kimi K3 Coding** (latest), via **Kimi Code CLI v0.27.0**
(`kimi-code/k3` alias, 1M-token context window, thinking mode, agentic
tool use). The CLI agent explored the repo, wrote the adapter
implementation (delegated to a coder sub-agent of the same model), ran
tests, and drafted the first version of this PR body. A second
model-driven review pass (read-only, same model) audited the diff for
security/correctness before submission; its findings (shell-quoting
hardening, auth-detection false positive, session-compaction
registration, test gaps) were fixed and are included.
- **Harness-context fixes and review responses:** Anthropic, **Claude
Opus 4.8** (`claude-opus-4-8`) via Claude Code. Diagnosed from run logs
that Kimi received only the entry instructions file (not the
`HEARTBEAT.md`/`SOUL.md`/`TOOLS.md` bundle) and that `effort` was never
wired, then implemented the instruction `--add-dir` delivery,
`KIMI_MODEL_THINKING_EFFORT` forwarding, and `--skills-dir` skill
delivery, added the accompanying tests and docs, and addressed the
automated review comments (preserving external skills on remote sync,
treating a signaled exit as a failure). Also extended the `paperclipai
agent local-cli` installer to seed the control-plane skills into
`~/.kimi-code/skills` for Codex/Claude parity, wired `onEvent` runtime
events so the issue-thread activity indicator reflects Kimi's tool and
reasoning output live, and built the ACP engine lane (`kimi acp` via the
shared acpx engine, default) so the transcript streams with live tool
status like the other ACP adapters. The Kimi CLI flags, subcommand, and
env var relied on here were verified against the installed Kimi Code CLI
0.27.0.
- All CLI behaviors claimed here (`-p`, `--output-format stream-json`,
`-r` resume, event shapes, `--add-dir`, `--skills-dir`,
`KIMI_MODEL_THINKING_EFFORT`) were verified empirically against the
installed Kimi CLI, not assumed.

## Maintainer Addendum (2026-08-20)
The shared acpx-engine and issue-chat changes (run-summary segmentation,
placeholder tool-event coalescing,
`ISSUE_CHAT_TRANSCRIPT_MAX_VISIBLE_ENTRIES` 30 → 400, live-reasoning UI)
have been **extracted to #11761** so the cross-adapter behavior changes
review and revert independently — both commits there preserve @hawikk's
authorship. This PR is now the kimi-specific adapter only (60 files,
+3,793/−8, essentially pure addition); the only shared-engine touch left
is the `kimi acp` command resolution. `publishFromCi` is `true` — the
package name is bootstrapped on npm.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The `openclaw-gateway` adapter wakes a remote agent over a WebSocket
gateway. It sends a wake prompt. That prompt tells the agent which
environment variables to set and which file holds its Paperclip API key.
> - Each agent stores its claimed key in its own JSON file. The adapter
already exposes a `claimedApiKeyPath` config field for this. The field
is documented in `src/index.ts`. It also has an input in the agent
settings UI.
> - `buildWakeText` ignored that field. It hardcoded the shared default
path into the wake prompt text.
> - Every agent therefore read the same key file at wake time. Agents
authenticated as the wrong identity. The first API call failed.
> - This pull request passes `ctx.config.claimedApiKeyPath` into
`buildWakeText`. It uses the existing `resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` helper.
That helper falls back to the documented default.
> - The benefit is that each agent reads its own claimed-key file. Each
agent authenticates as itself.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#10071Fixes#4976Fixes#3098Fixes#8076
These four open issues report the same defect. Earlier duplicates are
already closed: Refs #2561, Refs #2592, Refs #930.
Related pull requests that address the same root problem (duplicate
search):
- #3396 — same core change, no tests
- #3370 — heavier approach, injects `PAPERCLIP_CLAIMED_API_KEY_PATH`
into the wake env and adds server onboarding defaults
- #5970 — renames the config field to `paperclipApiKeyPath`
- #8072 — same core change, bundled with an unrelated protocol-version
change
- #784 — adds shell quoting and preflight instructions
- #3296 — bundled with an unrelated Claude hello-probe fix
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway/src/server/execute.ts`
- `buildWakeText` now accepts `claimedApiKeyPath` as a parameter. It no
longer hardcodes the path.
- The `execute` call site passes
`resolveClaimedApiKeyPath(ctx.config.claimedApiKeyPath)`. That helper
returns the documented default
`~/.openclaw/workspace/paperclip-claimed-api-key.json` when the agent
sets no override.
- `resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` is now exported so tests can call it.
- `packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway/src/server/execute.test.ts` — adds
`resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` cases: a configured value, an empty string, a
whitespace-only string, `undefined`, `null`, and non-string input.
- `packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway/vitest.config.ts` (new) —
package-level vitest config. It matches the config used by sibling
adapters such as `opencode-local`.
- `vitest.config.ts` (root) — adds the adapter to the workspace project
list.
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs` — adds
`@paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway` to `nonServerProjects`.
**Maintainer-added during rebase.** The CI test lanes do not run a bare
`vitest`. They call `run-vitest-stable.mjs`, which invokes vitest with
an explicit `--project` allowlist. Without this entry the CI lanes skip
this package, and the root project-list entry alone has no effect on CI.
## Verification
Run the package suite directly:
```
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway
```
The suite covers `resolveSessionKey`, `buildAgentParams`, and the new
`resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` cases. The first two already existed in this
file but never executed in CI before this change.
Typecheck the package:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway typecheck
```
Behavioural check, which no automated test covers:
1. Set `claimedApiKeyPath` to a per-agent value such as
`~/.openclaw/workspace/paperclip-keys/<agent>.json` in the agent's
gateway adapter settings.
2. Trigger a wake for that agent.
3. Confirm the rendered wake text names that file. It must not name the
shared default.
Maintainer note: this branch was rebased onto current `master` by a
maintainer. The original branch was two months stale. Only two conflicts
occurred, both additive: the import line and the tail of
`execute.test.ts`, and the project list in the root `vitest.config.ts`.
The `execute.ts` change applied without conflict. CI and Greptile re-run
against the rebased head.
## Risks
- Low for existing deployments. `resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` preserves the
default path exactly. Any agent that never set `claimedApiKeyPath`
receives the same wake text as before.
- The behaviour changes only for agents that already set a per-agent
path. Those agents previously received the wrong instruction. They now
receive the correct one.
- No database, schema, or API surface changes.
- CI now runs this package's test file for the first time. That file
includes the pre-existing `resolveSessionKey` and `buildAgentParams`
tests, which were never executed before.
- Five other adapters (`cursor-cloud`, `cursor-local`, `gemini-local`,
`grok-local`, `pi-local`) sit in the root project list but remain absent
from the CI allowlist. This pull request does not change them. That gap
is tracked separately.
## Model Used
- Contributor's change: Anthropic Claude, model ID `claude-opus-4-7`,
approximately 200K context, extended thinking. Used for triage, patch
authoring, and the original description.
- Rebase, the `run-vitest-stable.mjs` entry, and this description:
Anthropic Claude, model ID `claude-opus-5`, tool use enabled. Run by a
Paperclip maintainer.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter packages are the bridge between the control plane and local
agent harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.
> - ACP support was concentrated in a separate `acpx_local` adapter,
which made ACP feel like a separate agent choice instead of an execution
capability of the harness adapters.
> - Claude, Codex, and Gemini now have ACP-capable harnesses, so the
native adapter should own ACP selection, fallback, config, transcript
parsing, and environment diagnostics.
> - The standalone ACPX adapter still needs a compatibility path for
existing rows, but it should not be offered as an active adapter for new
agents.
> - This pull request moves the shared ACP runtime into
`@paperclipai/acpx-engine`, wires Claude/Codex/Gemini local adapters to
prefer ACP when prerequisites are available, and retires `acpx_local` to
a tombstone.
> - The benefit is one adapter per harness, richer ACP transcripts by
default where possible, and a migration path for existing Claude/Codex
ACPX agents.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Closes#5932 — the broken default `acpx_local` Claude path is replaced
by native `claude_local` ACP support, existing Claude/Codex ACPX rows
migrate to native adapters, and new agents no longer choose the
standalone ACPX adapter.
Refs #4893 — original merged ACPX local adapter runtime that this PR
replaces with native per-harness ACP engines.
Refs #6590 — prior ACPX-Claude seamlessness work folded into the new
native Claude ACP path.
Refs #197 — related open generic ACP/Kiro adapter work; this PR does not
close it because Kiro/custom generic ACP remains a separate adapter
decision.
Refs #7018 — related Kimi-specific `acpx_local` shell failure; this PR
retires the built-in standalone adapter but does not add a native Kimi
adapter.
Refs #8864 — related ACPX prompt/API guidance PR; this PR moves runtime
guidance into the shared/native ACP engine path instead of the old
standalone adapter.
Refs #8881 — related `acpx_local` POSIX shell failure from the old
`acpx` pin; this PR updates ACP dependencies but does not claim
custom/OMP ACP support as a first-class native adapter.
Refs #8964 — related open `acpx_local` stderr cleanup PR; this PR makes
the old runtime path obsolete for new agents but keeps it as a
non-closing reference.
Problem description:
- The standalone `acpx_local` adapter duplicates Claude/Codex agent
choices that already have first-class local adapters.
- ACP should be an execution engine capability of each harness adapter
when the underlying harness supports ACP.
- Existing `acpx_local` agents should either migrate to native harness
adapters or fail with an explicit retirement message instead of silently
falling back to the process adapter.
## What Changed
- Added `@paperclipai/acpx-engine` as the shared ACP execution,
session-codec, CLI formatter, and UI parser package.
- Wired `claude_local`, `codex_local`, and `gemini_local` to auto-select
ACP by default when prerequisites pass, with `engine=cli` opt-out and
`engine=acp` strict mode.
- Added ACP config schema/UI fields, environment checks, session-codec
preservation, transcript parsing, and adapter capability metadata for
the native adapters.
- Retired `acpx_local` to a server tombstone, removed its
UI/package/runtime image surface, and added a migration for existing
Claude/Codex ACPX agents.
- Updated package manifests, lockfile, release tooling, docs, Kubernetes
sandbox defaults, and tests.
## Verification
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/acpx-engine typecheck`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local typecheck`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/acpx-engine exec vitest run`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local exec vitest

src/components/transcript/RunTranscriptView.test.tsx`
- `node --test scripts/bootstrap-npm-package.test.mjs
scripts/release-package-map.test.mjs
scripts/verify-release-registry-state.test.mjs`
Note: the server typecheck script calls `pnpm` internally; this dev
shell exposes pnpm through Corepack only, so I ran the two script steps
manually with `corepack pnpm`.
## Risks
- Migration changes existing `acpx_local` Claude/Codex agents to native
adapter types and clears old ACPX task sessions/runtime state.
- Custom ACP commands remain on the retired tombstone and will need a
separate future adapter/plugin path.
- ACP auto-selection depends on local Node and ACP server command
prerequisites; remote and unsupported environments fall back to CLI
unless `engine=acp` is explicit.
- `@paperclipai/acpx-engine` is a new public package and needs npm
trusted-publishing bootstrap before release automation can publish it.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies through
company-scoped control-plane workflows.
> - Agents need reusable, inspectable skills that can be installed,
reset, audited, exported, and assigned without bespoke local setup.
> - The existing skill truth model needed cleanup so bundled skills,
optional catalog skills, runtime skills, and adapter-provided skills
have clear provenance.
> - Operators also need a practical CLI and board UI for discovering and
managing company skills.
> - This pull request adds the skills CLI, packaged skills catalog,
company skills APIs, and catalog-aware board UI.
> - The benefit is a more reusable Paperclip company setup where skills
are portable, auditable, and easier for operators and agents to manage.
## What Changed
- Added `paperclipai skills` CLI commands and coverage for catalog
listing, installing, resetting, and inspecting company skills.
- Added a packaged `@paperclipai/skills-catalog` workspace with bundled
and optional skill content plus validation/build tests.
- Added shared company-skill types and validators used across CLI,
server, and UI contracts.
- Added server catalog APIs/services for company skill catalog
operations, reset semantics, audit behavior, and portability provenance.
- Updated adapter skill handling so runtime/catalog provenance remains
explicit across local adapters.
- Added board UI support for browsing and managing catalog-backed
company skills.
- Updated docs for the skills CLI/catalog flow and the company skills
Paperclip skill reference.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master`; no
`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `.github/workflows`, or migration files are included
in the final PR diff.
## Verification
- Passed: `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/skills.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/catalog-builder.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/shipped-catalog.test.ts
packages/shared/src/validators/company-skill.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/plugins/create-paperclip-plugin/src/entrypoints.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-catalog-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts`.
- Passed: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "default
branch|origin/master|symbolic-ref"`.
- Attempted: full `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`. Four
provisioning tests failed while seeding an isolated worktree database
from the local Paperclip instance because the local plugin schema dump
contains a duplicate-column foreign key
(`plugin_content_machine_18a7bc327b.content_case_signals`). The
default-branch tests touched by the rebase conflict passed in the
focused run above.
- Checked final diff: no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no `.github/workflows`, and
no migration-file changes relative to `master`.
## Risks
- Medium: this is a broad skills/catalog change touching CLI, server
APIs, shared contracts, adapter skill sync, and UI.
- Catalog validation and reset semantics need careful reviewer attention
because they affect reusable company setup and portability.
- No database migrations are included in this PR, so there is no
migration ordering/idempotency risk in the final diff.
- No lockfile is included by design; dependency resolution will be
handled by the repository lockfile workflow.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, running in Paperclip via the
`codex_local` adapter with shell, git, GitHub CLI, and code-editing tool
access. Exact hosted model build/context-window metadata is not exposed
in this runtime.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, so
adapter quality directly affects what runtimes the control plane can
supervise.
> - Local CLI adapters are one of the core execution surfaces because
they turn real coding tools into Paperclip-managed employees with
heartbeats, transcripts, and reviewability.
> - Grok Build was installed on the Paperclip host, but Paperclip had no
built-in `grok_local` adapter, so the runtime could not be configured
through the normal server/UI/CLI adapter path.
> - That gap needed to be closed with the same built-in registry,
environment diagnostics, transcript parsing, and skill/instructions
behavior that the other local adapters already rely on.
> - After the initial adapter landed, a real follow-up run showed that
Grok streaming text was being rendered one fragment per line, which made
transcripts harder to read even though the runtime itself was working.
> - This pull request adds the built-in `grok_local` adapter end-to-end
and then fixes the transcript parser so streamed Grok output is
coalesced into readable assistant/thinking blocks.
> - The benefit is that Grok Build becomes a first-class Paperclip
runtime with a usable operator experience instead of a partially wired
runtime with noisy transcript output.
## What Changed
- Added a new built-in `@paperclipai/adapter-grok-local` package with
server, UI, and CLI entrypoints.
- Implemented Grok execution, session handling, environment diagnostics,
config building, skill syncing, and parser coverage inside the new
adapter package.
- Registered `grok_local` across the built-in adapter inventories and
capability/display metadata in server, UI, CLI, and shared constants.
- Added adapter route coverage for the new built-in type.
- Fixed Grok transcript readability by emitting streamed `text` and
`thought` fragments as deltas so the shared transcript builder coalesces
them into readable message blocks.
- Added regression tests for the Grok parser and transcript coalescing
behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/ui/parse-stdout.test.ts
ui/src/adapters/transcript.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local build`
- Manual runtime verification on the Paperclip host during
implementation and follow-up review:
- confirmed the Grok CLI was installed and authenticated
- confirmed the worktree dev server could be restarted cleanly and
health-checked after the parser follow-up
- No screenshots attached. This change is primarily adapter plumbing
plus transcript formatting behavior; reviewers can verify via the
Grok-backed run surfaces directly.
## Risks
- This adds a new built-in adapter, so any missed registration surface
could create inconsistencies between server, UI, and CLI behavior.
- The adapter depends on Grok Build's current event/output shape; if
upstream Grok streaming JSON changes, transcript parsing or session
extraction may need follow-up updates.
- The transcript readability fix intentionally changes how Grok
fragments are grouped, so any downstream code that implicitly expected
one entry per fragment would behave differently.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` agent runtime.
- GPT-5-class coding model with tool use, shell execution, file editing,
and repo inspection enabled.
- Exact backend model ID/context window were not surfaced to the agent
in this Paperclip session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI-agent companies.
> - Plugins are the extension point for adding capabilities without
expanding the core product surface.
> - Local plugin development needed a tighter CLI-first loop so plugin
authors can scaffold, run, install, inspect, and reload plugins without
reaching into internal package paths.
> - The server plugin install path also needed local-path handling that
keeps plugin identity, dashboard routes, and development watchers
coherent.
> - This pull request adds the CLI scaffold/install workflow, fixes the
server and SDK edge cases that blocked that loop, and updates the
agent-facing plugin creation skill and docs.
> - The benefit is that contributors can develop plugins from local
folders with a documented, repeatable happy path.
## What Changed
- Added `paperclipai plugin init` coverage and CLI wiring for local
plugin scaffolding.
- Improved local plugin install handling, plugin key route resolution,
dashboard capability behavior, and dev watcher startup/reload behavior.
- Fixed plugin SDK worker entrypoint validation for symlinked package
layouts.
- Added targeted tests for plugin init, server plugin authz/watcher
behavior, SDK worker host validation, and the authoring smoke example.
- Added a short local plugin development guide and refreshed the plugin
authoring guide plus `paperclip-create-plugin` skill instructions.
## Verification
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/plugin-sdk build && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/create-paperclip-plugin typecheck && pnpm --filter
paperclipai typecheck && pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk typecheck

--poolOptions.forks.isolate=true`
- `pnpm --dir packages/plugins/examples/plugin-authoring-smoke-example
test`
- Confirmed `pnpm-lock.yaml` is not included in the PR diff.
## Risks
- Medium risk: this touches plugin install routing, CLI command
behavior, and the local development watcher.
- Local path plugin installs execute trusted local code by design; the
new docs call out that trust boundary.
- No database migrations are included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - There are many adapter types, one per agent-runtime product (Claude,
Codex, OpenCode, Cursor local CLI, etc.)
> - Cursor shipped a public TypeScript SDK on 2026-04-29 that exposes
Cursor's full hosted-agent platform (cloud VMs, harness, MCP, skills,
hooks)
> - Paperclip had no first-class adapter for this — agents that wanted
to use Cursor's managed cloud runtime had to fall back to the local CLI
adapter, which loses the cloud session, streaming, and durable run model
> - This PR adds a new `cursor_cloud` adapter built directly on
`@cursor/sdk`, with Paperclip's heartbeat mapped to Cursor's
durable-agent + per-run model
> - The benefit is that any Paperclip agent can now drive a Cursor cloud
agent across heartbeats with native session reuse, streaming, and
cancellation, while Paperclip remains the source of truth for issue/task
state
## What Changed
- New built-in adapter package `packages/adapters/cursor-cloud` (15
files, ~1.7k LOC) backed by `@cursor/sdk` ^1.0.12
- `src/server/execute.ts` — SDK-first lifecycle: `Agent.create` /
`Agent.resume` / `Agent.getRun` / `agent.send` / `run.stream` /
`run.wait`, with session reuse keyed on the (runtime env type, env name,
repo set) tuple
- `src/server/session.ts` — codec for `cursorAgentId` + `latestRunId` +
repo metadata, persisted in `runtime.sessionParams`
- `src/server/test.ts` — environment probe via `Cursor.me()` and
optional model validation via `Cursor.models.list()`
- `src/ui/parse-stdout.ts` + `src/cli/format-event.ts` — normalize
Cursor SDK message types (`status`, `thinking`, `assistant`, `user`,
`tool_call`, `tool_result`, `result`) into Paperclip transcript events
for the UI and CLI
- Registrations: `packages/shared/src/constants.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/session-compaction.ts`,
`server/src/adapters/{registry,builtin-adapter-types}.ts`,
`ui/src/adapters/{registry,adapter-display-registry}.ts` +
`ui/src/adapters/cursor-cloud/index.ts`, `cli/src/adapters/registry.ts`,
plus workspace deps in `cli`/`server`/`ui` `package.json`
- `ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.tsx` — hide local-Cursor
`mode`/thinking-effort field for `cursor_cloud` (different config
surface)
- 11 vitest tests covering execute paths (fresh create, matching-resume,
active-run reattach, non-finished result), session codec round-trip,
transcript parsing, and config building
## Verification
Reviewer steps:
```bash
pnpm install
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-cursor-cloud typecheck # → clean
pnpm vitest run packages/adapters/cursor-cloud # → 11/11 passing
```
End-to-end check against a real Cursor cloud agent (requires
`CURSOR_API_KEY` and Cursor GitHub-app install on the target repo):
1. Create a `cursor_cloud` agent in Paperclip with `repoUrl` set to the
test repo, `repoStartingRef: main`, and `env.CURSOR_API_KEY` set
2. Trigger a heartbeat → adapter calls `Agent.create({ cloud: { env: {
type: "cloud" }, repos: [...] } })`, streams events, terminates on
`finished`
3. Trigger a second heartbeat → adapter calls `Agent.resume` or
`agent.send` follow-up depending on prior-run state, reusing
`cursorAgentId`
4. The Paperclip UI/CLI transcript reflects Cursor `status` / `thinking`
/ `assistant` events as they stream
5. Cancellation from Paperclip maps to `run.cancel()` or Cloud API v1
`cancelRun` for cross-heartbeat cancellation
A direct-SDK smoke run against a real repo (devinfoley/my_test_project @
main) confirmed: `Cursor.me()` ok → `Agent.create` → `agent.send` →
`run.stream()` (30 events) → terminal status `finished` in ~11s.
## Risks
- **New adapter, additive only.** No existing adapter or registry is
replaced; current `cursor` local-CLI adapter is untouched. Default
behavior of any existing agent is unchanged.
- **External dependency on `@cursor/sdk`.** Cursor's SDK is v1.0.x and
may evolve. Mocked unit tests cover the public surface used here; if the
SDK breaks compatibility we update the adapter independently.
- **Cost/budget.** `cursor_cloud` runs on Cursor's billed cloud VMs;
operators must understand they are spending money outside Paperclip's
budget controls when they enable this adapter. Same shape as other
API-billed adapters.
- **No webhook support in V1.** The SDK already provides
stream/wait/cancel/reattach, so V1 does not require a public callback
URL. If a future use case needs out-of-band wakes, we add a Cloud API v1
webhook bridge as a separate change. This is called out in the issue
plan document.
- **Lockfile.** Per repo policy, `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally not
in this PR — CI's lockfile workflow will update it on merge given the
manifest changes.
## Model Used
- Provider: Anthropic Claude (via Claude Code / Paperclip `claude_local`
adapter)
- Model: `claude-opus-4-7` (Claude Opus 4.7), knowledge cutoff January
2026
- Mode: standard tool-use with extended reasoning
- Context: ~200k token window
- Capabilities used: code generation, multi-file edits, shell/test

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies through a control plane
that can start, supervise, and recover agent runs.
> - Local adapters are the bridge between Paperclip issues and concrete
agent runtimes such as Claude, Codex, and other ACP-compatible tools.
> - The roadmap calls out broader “bring your own agent” and claw-style
agent support, and ACPX gives Paperclip one path to normalize multiple
ACP agents behind a single adapter.
> - The branch needed to become one reviewable PR against current
`paperclipai/paperclip:master`, without carrying stale base conflicts or
generated lockfile churn.
> - This pull request adds an experimental built-in `acpx_local`
adapter, integrates it through the server/CLI/UI adapter surfaces, and
adds regression coverage for runtime execution, skill sync, stream
parsing, diagnostics, and log redaction.
> - The benefit is that Paperclip can run Claude/Codex/custom ACP agents
through ACPX while keeping operator configuration, skills, logging, and
transcript rendering inside the existing adapter model.
## What Changed
- Added `@paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local` with server execution, config
schema, ACPX session handling, CLI formatting, UI config helpers, and
stdout parsing.
- Registered `acpx_local` across CLI, server, shared constants, UI
adapter metadata, adapter capabilities, and agent creation/editing
surfaces.
- Added ACPX runtime execution support with persistent sessions,
local-agent JWT environment handling, skill snapshots, runtime skill
materialization, and isolation/security regressions.
- Added ACPX adapter diagnostics and marked the adapter experimental in
the UI.
- Added command/env secret redaction for resolved command metadata in
adapter-utils, server event storage, and the Agent Detail invocation UI.
- Added Storybook coverage for ACPX config, transcript rendering, and

## Risks
- Medium risk: this introduces a new built-in adapter package and
touches runtime execution, adapter registration, agent config, skills,
and transcript rendering.
- ACPX and ACP agent behavior can vary by installed tool versions; the
adapter is marked experimental to set operator expectations.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is excluded per repository PR policy, so dependency
lock refresh must be handled by the repo’s automation or maintainers.
- No database migration risk: no schema or migration files changed.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The environments subsystem already models execution environments,
but before this branch there was no end-to-end SSH-backed runtime path
for agents to actually run work against a remote box
> - That meant agents could be configured around environment concepts
without a reliable way to execute adapter sessions remotely, sync
workspace state, and preserve run context across supported adapters
> - We also need environment selection to participate in normal
Paperclip control-plane behavior: agent defaults, project/issue
selection, route validation, and environment probing
> - Because this capability is still experimental, the UI surface should
be easy to hide and easy to remove later without undoing the underlying
implementation
> - This pull request adds SSH environment execution support across the
runtime, adapters, routes, schema, and tests, then puts the visible
environment-management UI behind an experimental flag
> - The benefit is that we can validate real SSH-backed agent execution
now while keeping the user-facing controls safely gated until the
feature is ready to come out of experimentation
## What Changed
- Added SSH-backed execution target support in the shared adapter
runtime, including remote workspace preparation, skill/runtime asset
sync, remote session handling, and workspace restore behavior after
runs.
- Added SSH execution coverage for supported local adapters, plus remote
execution tests across Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenCode, and Pi.
- Added environment selection and environment-management backend support
needed for SSH execution, including route/service work, validation,
probing, and agent default environment persistence.
- Added CLI support for SSH environment lab verification and updated
related docs/tests.
- Added the `enableEnvironments` experimental flag and gated the
environment UI behind it on company settings, agent configuration, and
project configuration surfaces.

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/new-agent-hire-payload.test.ts
ui/src/lib/new-agent-runtime-config.test.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Manual verification on a branch-local dev server:
- enabled the experimental flag
- created an SSH environment
- created a Linux Claude agent using that environment
- confirmed a run executed on the Linux box and synced workspace changes
back
## Risks
- Medium: this touches runtime execution flow across multiple adapters,
so regressions would likely show up in remote session setup, workspace
sync, or environment selection precedence.
- The UI flag reduces exposure, but the underlying runtime and route
changes are still substantial and rely on migration correctness.
- The change set is broad across adapters, control-plane services,
migrations, and UI gating, so review should pay close attention to
environment-selection precedence and remote workspace lifecycle
behavior.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip's local Codex adapter, GPT-5-class coding
model with tool use and code execution in the local repo workspace. The
local adapter does not surface a more specific public model version
string in this branch workflow.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Operators and agents coordinate through company-scoped issues,
comments, documents, and task relationships.
> - Issue text can mention other tickets, but those references were
previously plain markdown/text without durable relationship data.
> - That made it harder to understand related work, surface backlinks,
and keep cross-ticket context visible in the board.
> - This pull request adds first-class issue reference extraction,
storage, API responses, and UI surfaces.
> - The benefit is that issue references become queryable, navigable,
and visible without relying on ad hoc text scanning.
## What Changed
- Added shared issue-reference parsing utilities and exported
reference-related types/constants.
- Added an `issue_reference_mentions` table, idempotent migration DDL,
schema exports, and database documentation.
- Added server-side issue reference services, route integration,
activity summaries, and a backfill command for existing issue content.
- Added UI reference pills, related-work panels, markdown/editor mention
handling, and issue detail/property rendering updates.
- Added focused shared, server, and UI tests for parsing, persistence,
display, and related-work behavior.
- Rebased `PAP-735-first-class-task-references` cleanly onto
`public-gh/master`; no `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes are included.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run packages/shared/src/issue-references.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-references-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueRelatedWorkPanel.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx`
## Risks
- Medium risk because this adds a new issue-reference persistence path
that touches shared parsing, database schema, server routes, and UI
rendering.
- Migration risk is mitigated by `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS`, guarded
foreign-key creation, and `CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS` statements so
users who have applied an older local version of the numbered migration
can re-run safely.
- UI risk is limited by focused component coverage, but reviewers should
still manually inspect issue detail pages containing ticket references
before merge.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Heartbeat runs are the control-plane record of each agent execution
window.
> - Long-running local agents can exhaust context or stop while still
holding useful next-step state.
> - Operators need that stop reason, next action, and continuation path
to be durable and visible.
> - This pull request adds run liveness metadata, continuation
summaries, and UI surfaces for issue run ledgers.
> - The benefit is that interrupted or long-running work can resume with
clearer context instead of losing the agent's last useful handoff.
## What Changed
- Added heartbeat-run liveness fields, continuation attempt tracking,
and an idempotent `0058` migration.
- Added server services and tests for run liveness, continuation
summaries, stop metadata, and activity backfill.
- Wired local and HTTP adapters to surface continuation/liveness context
through shared adapter utilities.
- Added shared constants, validators, and heartbeat types for liveness
continuation state.
- Added issue-detail UI surfaces for continuation handoffs and the run
ledger, with component tests.
- Updated agent runtime docs, heartbeat protocol docs, prompt guidance,
onboarding assets, and skills instructions to explain continuation
behavior.
- Addressed Greptile feedback by scoping document evidence by run,
excluding system continuation-summary documents from liveness evidence,
importing shared liveness types, surfacing hidden ledger run counts,
documenting bounded retry behavior, and moving run-ledger liveness
backfill off the request path.

- Remote PR checks on head `e53b1a1d`: `verify`, `e2e`, `policy`, and
Snyk all passed.
- Confirmed `public-gh/master` is an ancestor of this branch after
fetching `public-gh master`.
- Confirmed `pnpm-lock.yaml` is not included in the branch diff.
- Confirmed migration `0058_wealthy_starbolt.sql` is ordered after
`0057` and uses `IF NOT EXISTS` guards for repeat application.
- Greptile inline review threads are resolved.
## Risks
- Medium risk: this touches heartbeat execution, liveness recovery,
activity rendering, issue routes, shared contracts, docs, and UI.
- Migration risk is mitigated by additive columns/indexes and idempotent
guards.
- Run-ledger liveness backfill is now asynchronous, so the first ledger
response can briefly show historical missing liveness until the
background backfill completes.
- UI screenshot coverage is not included in this packaging pass;
validation is currently through focused component tests.

Add a Vitest case that mocks `node:child_process.spawn` so the child
emits `error` (ENOENT) after the constructor attaches listeners.
`getQuotaWindows()` must resolve with `ok: false` instead of leaving an
unhandled `error` event on the process.
Register `packages/adapters/codex-local` in the root Vitest workspace.
Document in DEVELOPING.md that a missing `codex` binary should not take
down the API server during quota polling.
pnpm monorepo with shared packages, server, and UI workspaces.
Includes Docker multi-stage build, Postgres compose, and root TypeScript/Vitest config.
