## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8810. That issue covers related model ID handling. This change
does not change provider-prefixed model IDs.
**Agent or provider**
Claude Code through the built-in `claude_local` adapter. The requested
model is Claude Fable 5.1.
**Why this adapter is useful**
Operators can use Fable 5.1 without entering an undocumented model ID.
The configured model also reaches both supported Claude execution lanes.
**How the agent is invoked**
The CLI lane sends `--model claude-fable-5-1`. The ACP lane sends
`ANTHROPIC_MODEL=claude-fable-5-1` to
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp`.
**Are you willing to implement it?**
Yes. This pull request includes the implementation and tests.
**Additional context**
Claude Code 2.1.232 rejected Fable 5.1 and required version 2.1.251 or
newer. ACP package 0.73.0 includes Claude Code 2.1.257. The update keeps
Paperclip's usage metadata and isolated-context behavior.
## What Changed
- Added `claude-fable-5-1` to the direct Claude fallback list.
- Added `us.anthropic.claude-fable-5-1` to the AWS Bedrock list.
- Kept the existing default model at the first position in each list.
- Updated the Claude ACP dependency from 0.70 to 0.73.
- Carried the Paperclip usage and isolated-context changes into the 0.73
patch.
- Added a Claude Code 2.1.251 minimum-version preflight for Fable 5.1
when using the standard `claude` executable, surfaced in both adapter
Test and execution. Explicit custom wrappers retain their existing
compatibility contract.
- Kept local adapter Tests from executing caller-selected binaries: when
runtime `PATH` selects a different Claude executable than the trusted
probe, the Test warns and defers the authoritative version check to
execution instead of approving or rejecting the alternate installation.
- Added tests for model listing, discovery deduplication, Bedrock
filtering, model pass-through in both execution lanes, old-CLI rejection
before launch, custom-wrapper compatibility, and local runtime-PATH
mismatch handling.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.probe.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts` (72 tests passed)
- `node --test scripts/acpx-patch-packaging.test.mjs` (13 tests passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- A local Paperclip agent run completed with `usageJson.model` set to
`claude-fable-5-1` through ACP 0.73.0 and its bundled Claude Code
2.1.257.
- `pnpm test:run` completed 5,638 passing tests and 24 skipped tests. It
also found 24 failures in unrelated workspace-runtime,
path-canonicalization, and runtime-exposure tests on macOS with Node 26.
These failures do not touch this diff. Clean pull request CI is the
final full-suite gate.
## Risks
- The ACP dependency update can change Claude runtime behavior outside
model selection. Focused ACP tests, the full typecheck, the production
build, and a real local Fable run reduce this risk.
- The 0.73 patch must stay aligned with the installed ACP version.
Dependency-resolution CI verifies the manifest and patch pair.
- Fable 5.1 adds a short `claude --version` preflight to standard
CLI-lane Tests and runs. The result is intentionally not cached so an
in-place Claude Code upgrade takes effect without restarting Paperclip.
Explicit custom wrappers are not version-probed because their output and
compatibility contract can differ from the standard executable.
- Local Tests preserve the existing deny-by-default probe boundary and
do not execute a binary selected by caller-controlled `PATH`. A
mismatched runtime binary produces an explicit warning without blocking
an otherwise valid setup; execution independently validates the actual
runtime-selected CLI before launch.
- The AWS Bedrock identifier differs from earlier IDs because Fable 5.1
has no `-v1` suffix. The model-list test locks this exact value.
- There is no schema change or migration.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agents that use different model providers and
adapters.
> - Paperclip must keep agent execution rules clear and predictable.
> - The cheap-model profile added a second execution mode across
adapters, task recovery, APIs, and the UI.
> - That mode increased configuration and recovery complexity.

feature.

work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This change simplifies model selection across agent configuration, task
execution, recovery, and adapter capabilities.
**Current behavior**
Paperclip exposes cheap-model profiles in adapter metadata, agent
runtime configuration, task overrides, recovery rules, APIs, and the
board UI. Recovery work can select a different model profile from the
agent's configured model.
**Proposed behavior**
Paperclip uses the agent's configured model for normal work and recovery
work. Status-only recovery stays limited to coordination work. The API
rejects legacy model-profile configuration. A migration removes stored
model-profile values from existing agent, issue, and historical revision
records.
**Reason and benefit**
One model path reduces configuration, API, UI, and recovery complexity.
It also prevents status recovery from becoming a separate product-level
model-routing feature.
**Breaking changes**
This change removes model-profile fields and adapter capability
metadata. Existing stored model-profile values are removed by an
idempotent migration. The validators reject new legacy profile values
with clear errors.
## What Changed
- Removed model-profile types, adapter capabilities, API fields, and
model selection logic.
- Removed cheap-model controls from agent and task UI surfaces.
- Kept status-only recovery limited to coordination context while normal
continuations use the configured agent model.
- Added an idempotent migration that removes stored model-profile values
from agents, issues, and configuration revisions without changing issue
update timestamps.
- Updated tests and product documentation for the single-model behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,607 passing tests and 8
environment-sensitive failures in unrelated fixed-port and
database-deadlock suites. The same failures repeated in an isolated
rerun. CI is the final clean-room result.
## Risks
- This is an intentional breaking change for clients that send
model-profile fields.
- The migration changes legacy agent, issue, and configuration-revision
JSON. It is idempotent and preserves unrelated fields and issue update
timestamps.
- The change is cross-cutting because the removed feature existed in
adapters, shared contracts, the server, plugins, and the UI.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The heartbeat runtime classifies adapter run failures, and the
recovery service uses that classification to decide between automatic
retry, a timed provider-quota wait, and a board escalation
> - The Claude CLI changed its subscription-limit stop message to
"You've hit your limit · resets 2:30am (UTC)", and no quota matcher
knows this qualifier-less wording
> - A limit-hit run therefore classifies as `adapter_failed` (or
`claude_auth_required`), recovery burns its continuation retries against
a hard limit, and the issue blocks with the opaque "No live execution
path" notice instead of waiting for the reset and retrying automatically
> - This pull request teaches the adapter and the recovery service the
new wording, and titles stranded-escalation notices from the classified
run error code so operators see the cause at a glance
> - The benefit is that usage-limit stops self-heal at the provider
reset time, and the notices that do post say "Error: usage limit
reached" or "Error: not logged in to Claude" instead of a generic title
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; the underlying problem follows the bug template:
**What happened?**
On a staging deployment, an assigned `in_progress` issue hit the Claude
subscription usage limit. The run recorded the error `Claude run failed:
subtype=success: You've hit your limit · resets 2:30am (UTC)`. The
automatic continuation retry failed the same way in 34 seconds with
`errorCode: adapter_failed`. Terminal-run recovery then escalated: the
issue moved to `blocked` with the notice "No live execution path" and a
board-owned recovery action. The notice gave the operator no indication
that the cause was a usage limit with a known reset time.
**Expected behavior**
A usage-limit stop classifies as `provider_quota` with the reset clock
parsed into `retryNotBefore`. The recovery service takes its
provider-quota wait path: a system-owned recovery action that waits for
the reset time and retries the original assignee automatically. If an
escalation notice does post, its title names the classified cause.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a `claude_local` agent on an issue until the Claude subscription
limit is hit, so the CLI result is "You've hit your limit · resets
\<time\> (UTC)".
2. Let terminal-run recovery retry the continuation.
3. Observe the issue block with the "No live execution path" notice
instead of a timed quota wait. `classifyAdapterFailureForRecovery`
returns `null` for the recorded error text; `CLAUDE_PROVIDER_QUOTA_RE`
and `PROVIDER_QUOTA_ERROR_RE` both fail to match it.
## What Changed
- `CLAUDE_PROVIDER_QUOTA_RE` and `CLAUDE_EXTRA_USAGE_RESET_RE`
(claude-local adapter) accept "you've hit your limit" with no qualifier,
alongside the existing "session"/"usage" wordings, so the run classifies
as `provider_quota` and the reset clock lands in `retryNotBefore`.
- `PROVIDER_QUOTA_ERROR_RE` and `isProviderQuotaRecovery` (recovery
service) accept the same wording, so runs recorded before the adapter
fix (errorCode `adapter_failed` with the limit text in the error) also
route to the quota wait.
- `parseProviderQuotaClockReset` parses the "resets 2:30am (UTC)" clock
shape alongside the existing "try again at" shape.
- `buildStrandedRecoveryEscalationNotice` titles the notice from the
source run's classified error code when one is mapped: `provider_quota`
→ "Error: usage limit reached", `claude_auth_required` → "Error: not
logged in to Claude", `acpx_auth_required` → "Error: agent login
required". The raw failure text stays withheld from the issue thread;
only the server-classified code is surfaced. Unmapped codes keep the
existing seed/cause titles.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/parse.test.ts
server/src/services/recovery/provider-failure-classification.test.ts
server/src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts` — 72 tests pass,
including 5 new cases that use the exact new CLI message.
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` — 189 tests
pass (no reroute regressions from the widened matchers).
- `tsc --noEmit` clean for `@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local` and
`@paperclipai/server`.
## Risks
- Low risk. The regex widenings are additive; every previously matched
wording still matches, and the existing negative test ("Workspace
storage capacity limit reached." stays unclassified) still passes.
- Behavioral shift, intended: an `adapter_failed` run whose error text
is the new limit wording now routes to the silent system-owned quota
wait instead of a board escalation. This matches how the older limit
wordings already behave.
- The notice title change only affects escalations whose source run
carries one of the three mapped error codes; all other notices render
exactly as before.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Claude Code CLI, extended thinking
with tool use).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agents for work.
> - Paperclip includes an observability path that operators can enable
for tracing.
> - The server loads several OpenTelemetry packages only when tracing is
enabled.
> - The documentation calls these packages optional peer dependencies,
but the server manifest does not declare them.
> - This gap hides supported versions and stops Dependabot from
maintaining the packages.
> - This pull request aligns package metadata, runtime checks, and
documentation with the opt-in tracing design.
> - The change gives operators clear installation behavior and keeps the
no-op default.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This pull request fixes a package metadata and installation defect.
Related observability work appears in
[#8476](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/8476) and
[#9672](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9672).
The server documentation described optional OpenTelemetry peer
dependencies, but `server/package.json` did not declare them. Package
managers and Dependabot could not see the supported version ranges. The
UI and Claude local adapter also relied on automatic peer installation
for `yjs` and `@anthropic-ai/sdk`.
The package manifests now declare the optional runtime packages. A
default install does not install optional tracing peers. The server
keeps its no-op behavior when tracing is disabled or a peer is absent.
## What Changed
- Add seven optional OpenTelemetry packages to `server/package.json` and
mark each package as optional.
- Keep `@opentelemetry/api` as a normal dependency for the no-op
interface.
- Disable automatic peer installation in `.npmrc`.
- Declare `yjs` for the UI package and `@anthropic-ai/sdk` for the
Claude local adapter.
- Check declared peer versions before the server loads a dynamic
OpenTelemetry import.
- Keep the endpoint gate, dynamic imports, and fail-open behavior
unchanged.
- Update the observability and README documentation.
- Tell Dependabot that its npm parser does not read `peerDependencies`.
## Verification
- Targeted server tests pass: 34 passed and 2 skipped.
- The skipped tests require the real OpenTelemetry SDK and remain
pre-existing.
- The pull request workflow regenerates the lockfile because manifest
files and `.npmrc` changed.
- The policy job confirms that the pull request does not include
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.
- GitHub checks pass except `security/snyk (cryppadotta)`, which remains
pending after its authorized wait cap.
- Greptile Review reports 5/5 with no open findings.
- Server typecheck passes.
## Risks
- Optional peers can produce a diagnostic when the installed version
does not match the declared range.
- A missing optional peer does not stop the server.
- Disabling automatic peer installation can expose undeclared package
use in other workspaces.
- This pull request declares the affected packages and adds tests for
the changed behavior.
- This pull request makes no database or API changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with repository inspection and pull request
preparation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #7029
Refs #12138
Refs #12147
**What happened?**
A skill-capable legacy local agent could start without
`paperclipai/paperclip/paperclip`. This happened when the agent had no
stored skill preference. An explicit empty preference also removed the
skill. The agent then reported that the Paperclip skill was not
available.
**Expected behavior**
Every skill-capable legacy local adapter must mount the Paperclip
operational skill when the runtime inventory contains it. Optional
skills must remain configurable. The native runner must keep its current
protocol-based behavior.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a non-CEO `codex_local` agent without `paperclipSkillSync`
preferences.
2. Start a legacy heartbeat.
3. Inspect the managed `CODEX_HOME/skills` directory.
4. Observe that the Paperclip skill is absent before this change.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The problem reproduces on `master` before this pull request. PR #7029
introduced the configured-only selection behavior.
**Deployment mode**
Local development and self-hosted legacy local adapters.
## What Changed
- Added a shared legacy skill resolver that always selects the canonical
Paperclip operational skill when it is available.
- Applied the resolver to direct adapter execution, ACPX execution,
skill snapshots, and persistent skill sync.
- Added Hermes skill materialization at sync and run boundaries.
- Aligned Cursor, Gemini, and OpenCode execution-time injection with the
configured child `HOME`.
- Made Hermes stop execution when another installation blocks the
required operational skill.
- Kept optional skills controlled by `paperclipSkillSync.desiredSkills`.
- Kept `paperclip_runner` on the configurable-only resolver.
- Added regression coverage for missing preferences, empty preferences,
each skill-capable legacy adapter, ACPX, Hermes, and native runner
isolation.
- Documented the legacy runtime invariant.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on the pushed commit.
- `pnpm build` passed on the pushed commit.
- The adapter utility regression suites passed: 236 tests.
- The changed server adapter suites passed: 48 tests across 12 files.
- The OpenCode adapter suite passed: 8 tests.
- The Hermes adapter suite passed: 7 tests.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` is not clean on this macOS host. The command reported
failures in unchanged workspace and filesystem suites. An isolated rerun
of `company-skills.test.ts` and `company-skills-service.test.ts`
reproduced 11 failures because macOS resolved `/var/...` paths as
`/private/var/...`. The changed adapter suites pass independently.
## Risks
- This change deliberately makes the operational skill non-removable for
skill-capable legacy local adapters.
- Existing agents receive the skill on their next list, sync, or run
boundary. No database migration is required.
- The resolver does not create a skill when the runtime inventory does
not contain the canonical entry.
- Hermes aborts a run if another installation occupies the required
operational skill target.
- Hermes removes only an undesired Paperclip-owned symlink that still
points to the known Paperclip source.
- The native runner does not receive the legacy default.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent adapters run workspace restore steps when an ACP run ends.
> - Claude, Codex, and Gemini each kept a near-identical teardown
closure.
> - Duplicate closures require the same defect fix in three files.

and keeps each adapter's message strings.

and outcome for all three adapters.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The Claude, Codex, and Gemini ACP adapters restore the workspace during
teardown and report restore failures with an allowlisted message.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapters/` and `packages/adapter-utils/`.
**Current behavior**
Each adapter keeps a near-identical closure. The closure logs a start
line, restores the workspace, classifies errors, and logs a fixed
failure line.
**Proposed behavior**
A shared `createWorkspaceRestoreTeardown` factory owns the common steps.
Each adapter passes its staged runtime, log sink, start line, and
failure prefix.
**Reason and benefit**
The shared factory removes duplicate error handling. One tested
implementation now preserves the existing output and outcome for all
three adapters.
**Breaking changes**
None. The refactor preserves the emitted lines and returned outcomes.
**Additional context**
This pull request contains no public issue reference because no related
public issue was found.
## What Changed
- Add `createWorkspaceRestoreTeardown` to `packages/adapter-utils`.
- Move the shared restore, classify, and allowlisted log flow into the
factory.
- Update the Claude, Codex, and Gemini ACP adapters to call the factory.
- Add a table-driven test for all three message pairs.
- Keep one end-to-end restore-failure regression test per adapter.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local typecheck`

- `npx vitest run packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/acp.test.ts`
- Continuous integration must pass before merge, except for the known
pre-existing failures listed in the handoff.
## Risks
Low risk. This change moves shared code without changing behavior. The
adapter-specific message strings remain unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, exact model ID `gpt-5`, tool use and code review
assistance. The context window size was not provided by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters restore sandbox work into project workspaces after a
run
> - The restore lock used the target workspace parent, which can reject
writes
> - The teardown then hid restore errors, so a run could report success
with lost work
> - This pull request moves the lock into an instance-scoped root and
reports safe restore failure codes
> - The benefit is reliable restore coordination and visible failure
evidence without changing run success semantics
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10914
## What Changed
- Move the workspace-restore merge lock into a private, instance-scoped
root.
- Derive the lock key from the canonical target path with SHA-256.
- Resolve the lock root from the caller environment and reject unsafe
root types.
- Classify restore failures with three allowlisted codes.
- Add the failure code to run result JSON without exposing a host path
or process identifier.
- Keep restore failure fail-open for the run exit code and run status.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/run-fault-matrix.test.ts`.
- Run the four Codex credential suites.
- Confirm the branch includes the current `master` commit and no manual
lockfile edit.
- Confirm all pull request checks and the Greptile review reach a
terminal green state.
## Risks
- The lock path changes for workspace restore and removes the
sibling-directory fallback.
- A misconfigured or inaccessible instance home can still stop lock
setup.
- Restore remains fail-open, so callers must inspect the result evidence
when a restore fails.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. The model used tool calls and code execution to validate
and route an author-provided change. The implementing engineer authored
the code.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent's runtime mounts only its own enabled skills; nothing tells
the model what else the company skill library holds
> - From inside a sandbox, "installed but not enabled for me" and "does
not exist" look identical, so agents tell users freshly installed skills
are not installed
> - This pull request renders the library as a deterministic markdown
section appended to claude-local agent instructions, and adds a
paperclipListSkills MCP tool
> - The benefit is that agents report the true state ("installed, not
enabled for me — ask an operator to enable it") instead of a false
negative
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
How agents reason about the company skill library at runtime.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapter-utils` (new pure builder),
`packages/adapters/claude-local` (instructions append),
`packages/mcp-server` (new tool).
**Current behavior**
The runtime hands adapters the full library list, but only the agent's
enabled skills are mounted, and no prompt content or MCP tool describes
the rest. Agents inspect their sandbox, find nothing, and report
installed skills as not installed.
**Proposed behavior**
A "Company skill library" markdown section lists every skill as
`enabled`, `installed, not enabled for you`, or `enabled but
unavailable: <cause>`, with instructions to report the not-enabled state
accurately and ask an operator to enable it. claude-local appends it to
the agent instructions text. A `paperclipListSkills` MCP tool exposes
the same list on demand.
**Breaking changes**
None. Other adapters are untouched (they can adopt the builder later);
the manifest is deterministic, so the claude-local prompt-bundle cache
only busts when the library actually changes.
## What Changed
- New `packages/adapter-utils/src/skill-library-manifest.ts` with
`buildSkillLibraryManifestMarkdown` (pure, key-sorted, deterministic;
renders the missing-cause detail from #12146).
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.ts` appends the
manifest to `combinedInstructionsContents` (creating it when no
instructions file is configured).
- `packages/mcp-server/src/tools.ts` adds `paperclipListSkills` hitting
`GET /companies/:companyId/skills`.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/skill-library-manifest.test.ts` (from repo
root) — 3 tests: byte-identical output for shuffled input, state
rendering incl. the unavailable cause, change detection.
- `cd packages/mcp-server && npx vitest run` — new tool routing test
passes (13 passed; 1 pre-existing failure on my machine reproduces
unchanged at the branch base).
- `cd packages/adapters/claude-local && npx vitest run` — 244 passed, 1
skipped.
- `pnpm run typecheck` clean in adapter-utils, mcp-server, claude-local.
## Risks
- Prompt growth is one line per installed skill plus a five-line header
— bounded and only present when the library is non-empty. Stacked on
#12146 so the manifest's "enabled but unavailable" state reflects real
materialization failures.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Runtime skill listing materializes each company skill's files before
handing them to the agent's adapter
> - A materialization failure was swallowed with catch-to-null, and the
skill silently vanished from the runtime while the library still showed
it installed
> - Operators saw "installed", agents saw nothing, and nobody saw the
cause; on claude-local a missing desired skill could even crash the
prompt-bundle hasher
> - This pull request turns both failure paths into structured "missing"
entries with the real error and makes every adapter skip unmountable
entries explicitly
> - The benefit is that a broken skill shows up as broken, with its
cause, instead of not existing
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A company skill whose runtime files fail to materialize (deleted source,
missing stored SKILL.md copy, failed version snapshot) disappears from
`listRuntimeSkillEntries` with no trace. Agent skill snapshots report a
generic "not available" with no cause. On claude-local, a desired skill
whose source path does not exist reaches the prompt-bundle hasher, whose
`fs.lstat` throws and can fail the whole run.
**Expected behavior**
The skill appears with `sourceStatus: "missing"` and a `missingDetail`
carrying the underlying error, snapshots and the UI show it as broken,
and adapters skip it at mount time with a logged warning instead of
crashing or dangling-symlinking.
**Steps to reproduce**
Install a local-path skill referenced by an agent, delete its source
directory contents so the stored SKILL.md copy cannot be recovered, and
start a run: before this change the skill vanishes from the runtime set
silently; on claude-local a pinned-but-unmaterializable version can fail
bundle preparation.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/company-skills.ts` `resolveRuntimeSkillSource`:
both `.catch(() => null)` sites (version snapshot, runtime
materialization) now return the structured `{status: "missing", source,
detail}` shape the deliberate missing branch already used, with the
underlying error message in `detail`.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`:
`isPaperclipSkillSourceMissing` is exported with a doc comment.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.ts`: missing
desired skills are filtered out of the prompt bundle and each one logs a
`[paperclip] Warning` with its detail to the run output.
- `cursor-local`, `gemini-local`, `kimi-local`, `opencode-local`,
`pi-local` `execute.ts`: mount loops (and the cursor/gemini injection
calls) skip missing entries instead of symlinking a nonexistent path.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts` — new test pins the
missing-with-cause entry for a failed materialization. Nine pre-existing
project-workspace tests in this file fail on my machine at clean
`master` too (environment-specific); their count is unchanged by this
PR.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-skills.test.ts
src/__tests__/claude-local-skill-sync.test.ts
src/__tests__/cursor-local-skill-sync.test.ts
src/__tests__/cursor-local-skill-injection.test.ts
src/__tests__/gemini-local-skill-sync.test.ts` — 12 tests pass.
- `cd packages/adapters/claude-local && npx vitest run` — 244 passed, 1
skipped.
- `pnpm run typecheck` clean in server, adapter-utils, and all six
touched adapters.
## Risks
- Runtime skill entry lists grow by the previously dropped entries (now
flagged missing). All shipped consumers either intersect with desired
sets, already handle `sourceStatus: "missing"`, or now skip missing
entries at mount time. The snapshot layer already understood the missing
shape via the `materializeMissing: false` path, so downstream contracts
are unchanged.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip records first-party events, OpenTelemetry data, and local
run-log events
> - The code and documents used one term for these three data paths
> - This naming made the required review level unclear

documents, and code comments
> - The benefit is a clear review rule without a runtime change
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Issue type**
Unclear or confusing.
**Where is the issue?**
`packages/shared/src/telemetry/README.md`, `doc/observability.md`,
`doc/run-log-events.md`, and the duplex instrumentation modules.
**What's wrong?**
The repository used Telemetry for first-party events, OpenTelemetry
data, and local run-log events. This usage made the data path and review
level unclear.
**Suggested fix**
Use Telemetry only for Paperclip first-party events. Use Observability
for OpenTelemetry data. Use the run log for rows in
`heartbeat_run_events`.
Related public pull requests: #8476 and #9672.
## What Changed
- Rename the duplex instrumentation modules and identifiers from
`Telemetry` to `Observability`.
- Move the Observability and run-log contracts out of the Telemetry
README.
- Add `doc/observability.md` and `doc/run-log-events.md` as the
canonical documents.
- Add a file-path review rule to `AGENTS.md`.
- Correct the remaining code comments that name the wrong data path.
- Keep all event names, payloads, database records, spans, configuration
keys, environment variables, and runtime paths unchanged.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/telemetry/readme-contract.test.ts`
passes.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/published-exports.test.ts`
passes.
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/startup-timing.test.ts` passes
with 42 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm --filter server typecheck` passes.
- The old module name does not remain in TypeScript or JSON files,
except for the intentional publication guard.
- CI and Greptile checks remain pending after PR creation.
## Risks
- The old duplex module subpath no longer has a compatibility shim. The
board accepted this intentional hard break.
- The new duplex module subpath stays blocked from package publication.
- The change has no runtime effect. The main risk is an incorrect
document or module reference.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs agents through adapter execution lanes
> - Duplex adapters can lose their control channel before a process
completes
> - The ACP lane already fails closed, but the CLI lane can report false
success
> - This pull request applies the same completion rule to the CLI lane
and shares the loss code
> - The benefit is consistent failure reporting when a duplex channel
closes during a run
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A CLI-lane duplex run can lose its control channel before clean process
completion. The run can then report `succeeded` with exit code 0 and no
error code.
**Expected behavior**
The execution target must fail closed when the channel dies before clean
completion. It must return exit code 1, the typed `duplex_channel_lost`
error code, and a short stderr note.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a duplex adapter run through the CLI execution lane.
2. Close the duplex control channel before the process completes
cleanly.
3. Inspect the run result and error code.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `5e01523d4eb6df4a20a0bddd05374c9c42225203`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Kimi, OpenCode, and Pi local
adapters.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Add an optional `errorCode` field to `RunProcessResult`.
- Add a one-read completion seam to the execution target process
options.
- Fail closed when a duplex channel dies before clean process
completion.
- Add `settleRunDisposition()` to atomically read and mark orderly
completion.
- Share the typed duplex loss error code across the ACP and CLI lanes.
- Mark non-success terminal results as orderly completion before
teardown.
- Wire the seam through the seven duplex adapters.
- Add regression tests for channel loss, clean completion, and non-clean
terminal results.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts` — 118
passed.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts
-t "sandbox duplex run-disposition seam"` — 4 passed.
- The author confirmed a clean type-check for
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils` and the seven duplex adapter packages.
- Pre-existing environment failures remain outside this change. They
include `EACCES mkdir '/srv/paperclip'` and remote file-size setup
failures.
## Risks
The change alters terminal status for CLI duplex runs that lose control
before clean completion. The typed error code and stderr note keep the
failure visible. The broker marks failed, cancelled, and timed-out
results as orderly completion to prevent false loss events during
teardown.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution, with the standard
GPT-5 context window. The model assisted with the implementation and
test work.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox adapters provide controlled execution for untrusted provider
environments.
> - The sandbox channel needs one persistent duplex transport with
strict host control.
> - The transport must remain off unless the instance setting and
provider capability both allow it.
> - The host must detect loss, bound resource use, and expose only safe
telemetry.
> - This pull request adds the broker, gated selection, kill-switch
wiring, fixed observability, and real-process proof.
> - The benefit is safer sandbox execution with bounded failure behavior
and inspectable transport results.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this change. The related pull requests are
#11738 and #11750.
**Problem or motivation**
The sandbox duplex channel needs a host-controlled broker, strict
transport gates, bounded provider input, and safe loss telemetry.
Without these controls, a provider can cause replay, resource growth,
unsafe endpoint selection, or data exposure through telemetry.
**Proposed solution**
Add a host broker with nested time limits, request limits, one-shot
loss, and per-id deduplication. Select duplex transport only when the
instance setting and provider capability both equal true. Assign the
endpoint and nonce on the host. Reject invalid readiness data and use
the file bridge on failure. Add fixed redacted telemetry and a
real-process end-to-end test harness.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the file bridge as the only transport. This avoids new channel
behavior but does not provide persistent duplex operation for supported
sandbox providers.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the Cloud / Sandbox agents section in ROADMAP.md.
## What Changed
- Add the duplex bridge broker with bounded forward, response, and
gateway wait budgets.
- Bound concurrent requests, lifetime requests, and request-id bytes
before retention or forwarding.
- Select duplex transport only when both required gates are true.
- Assign the loopback port and nonce on the host and enforce a
liveness-only READY frame.
- Fall back to the file bridge after invalid readiness, contamination,
bind failure, or timeout.
- Carry the kill switch through the server, acpx engine, and six local
adapters.
- Add fixed, redacted duplex telemetry with a provider allowlist.
- Add a real-process end-to-end harness for readiness, round trips,
loss, and teardown.
- Add regression coverage for limits, loss, UTF-8 splits, concurrency,
and telemetry dimensions.
## Verification
- Adapter-utils, server, and Daytona typechecks pass locally.
- Adapter-utils tests pass, including the codec, broker,
execution-target sandbox, and real-process harness.
- Server kill-switch tests pass.
- Live Daytona tests pass with the required provider key and skip
without that key.
- The root pnpm-lock.yaml file has no diff.
- The branch contains ten commits after origin/master.
## Risks
- Duplex transport remains disabled unless both gates equal true.
- A provider remains an untrusted boundary and needs least-privilege
credentials and quotas.
- The server telemetry recorder stays deferred; the default recorder
does nothing.
- A provider that pre-binds the host port causes a fail-closed fallback
to the file bridge.
- The change adds no database migration and changes no root lockfile.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, exact model family GPT-5, large context window, reasoning,
and tool use. The model assisted with Git handoff validation and PR
preparation. The implementation commits came from the engineering
worktree.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed deployments provision a platform-managed default environment
for agent runs; the UI shows this environment in selectors, the agent
form, run details, and the environments page
> - Those surfaces append the raw driver key to the environment name, so
users see labels like "Paperclip Computer (sandbox)", "Paperclip
Computer · sandbox", and fallback copy such as "Managed sandbox" and
"The sandbox has no ready authentication"
> - "sandbox" is infrastructure vocabulary, not the product name of the
environment; showing it next to the managed environment's name is
confusing and off-brand
> - This pull request renders platform-managed environments by name
alone and rewords the sandbox-phrased copy, while user-created
environments keep the driver suffix so mixed lists stay distinguishable
> - The benefit is that the default environment reads as one clear
product name everywhere, and self-hosted users lose nothing: their own
environments still show the driver
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Display of the platform-managed default environment across the UI.
**Subsystem affected**
UI (environment selectors, agent config form, environments page, agents
page, run details) and the claude-local/codex-local adapter auth checks.
**Current behavior**
The agent form labels the inherited default environment as "Name
(sandbox)". Environment selectors and the environments list render "Name
· sandbox". The agents page describes the environment as "<provider>
sandbox provider". The agent form's fallback label is "Managed sandbox".
Adapter auth checks say "The sandbox has no ready authentication for
this adapter."
**Proposed behavior**
Platform-managed environment rows (`metadata.managedByPaperclip`) render
their name alone. The fallback label is "Paperclip Computer". The agents
page describes managed environments as "Managed by Paperclip". Run
details omit the driver suffix for sandbox-driver environments (the
adjacent Provider entry already identifies the mechanism). Adapter auth
checks say "This environment has no ready authentication for this
adapter."
**Reason and benefit**
The managed environment carries a product name. Appending the raw driver
key ("sandbox") to it is noise and contradicts the product naming.
User-created environments keep the driver suffix, so mixed lists stay
distinguishable.
**Breaking changes**
None. Message text of the auth check is not read programmatically; the
UI keys off `ADAPTER_AUTH_MISSING_CHECK_CODE`. Rows without the managed
marker render exactly as before.
## What Changed
- New `environmentDisplayLabel` helper in
`ui/src/lib/managed-sandbox-environment.ts`: managed rows → name alone;
other rows → "Name · driver".
- `AgentConfigForm`: inherited-default label uses the helper; fallback
copy "Managed sandbox" → "Paperclip Computer"; environment options use
the helper.
- `ProjectProperties`, `CompanyEnvironments`: environment selector
options use the helper; the environments-list row hides the driver
suffix on managed rows; the managed detail page's fallback description
no longer says "sandbox".
- `Agents` page: managed environments are described as "Managed by
Paperclip" instead of "<provider> sandbox provider".
- `CommentThread` run details: the driver suffix is omitted for
sandbox-driver environments.
- claude-local and codex-local adapters: auth-missing check message/hint
reworded from "sandbox" to "environment" (ACP and environment-test
paths); claude-local probe/effort/login hints reworded the same way.
- Run status lines: "Syncing workspace to sandbox", "Exporting git
changes from sandbox", "Starting adapter in sandbox", and friends now
say "environment"; "Finalizing sandbox workspace" → "Finalizing
workspace". Templated transfer-progress lines map the `sandbox`
transport key to "environment" for display (`runtime-progress.ts`).
- Agent form sign-in panel: "Sign in to the sandbox" → "Sign in to the
environment"; "Authenticated. The sandbox has credentials now." → "…The
environment has credentials now."
- Feature catalog + instance settings card: "Managed Sandbox Only" →
"Managed Environment Only" (setting key unchanged; the card keeps its
alphabetical slot).
- Server agents routes: execution-target failure and test-identity copy
no longer say "sandbox"; workspace-mode label "Cloud sandbox" → "Cloud
environment".
- Tests: new `environmentDisplayLabel` unit cases; new `AgentConfigForm`
render case asserting the managed default renders without "(sandbox)" or
"· sandbox"; status-line assertions updated across adapter-utils, server
heartbeat/live-run, and UI chat suites.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck` and
`--filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck` — clean.
- `vitest run` for `managed-sandbox-environment.test.ts`,
`AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx`, `CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx`,
`Agents.test.tsx`, `CommentThread.test.tsx`, `NewAgent.test.tsx` — all
green (118 tests across the two runs).
## Risks
Low risk. Cosmetic label changes only; no data or API changes. Rows
without `metadata.managedByPaperclip` render exactly as before, so
self-hosted deployments with their own environments see no change. The
only self-hosted-visible wording changes are the adapter auth-check
message and the driver suffix omission on sandbox-driver rows in run
details.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Adapter Test checks whether an agent adapter can run with its
configured environment, and every local-driver adapter (Claude, Codex,
Gemini, OpenCode, Pi, Cursor, etc.) shares this Test route and its UI
resolution logic

remote authentication, and the shared Test route and UI had gaps in
environment binding, probe safety, and managed-sandbox resolution that
affect every adapter that uses the Test button, not only Claude

target, and closes the shared Test-route/UI gaps: tenant-binding on the
route, a managed-sandbox-only redirect that matches the real run path,
and a three-tier environment resolution in the UI
> - The benefit is a truthful Test result with safer probe execution and
tenant isolation, for Claude specifically and for every other local
adapter that shares this Test surface
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The Claude ACP Test lane returned `status: "pass"` without checking
authentication for some local and non-sandbox targets. Separately, the
shared `/companies/:companyId/adapters/:type/test-environment` route —
used by every local-driver adapter, not only Claude — accepted a foreign
environment id, and its UI resolution did not mirror the server's
managed-sandbox-only redirect.
**Expected behavior**
The Test lane checks the resolved credential and hello probe for every
Claude ACP target. The shared adapter Test route rejects a foreign
environment before it reveals environment details or starts a lease, for
any adapter type. The Test's environment resolution (UI and server)
matches the real run's three-tier resolution, including the
managed-sandbox-only redirect.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the Claude ACP Test lane against a local target without a valid
credential.
2. Run the adapter Test route with an environment id from another
company (any adapter type).
3. Observe the pass result on step 1, or the missing tenant-binding
rejection on step 2.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`933749e01f74e82ce5d315c071be534d04e01158`
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`) and server route tests.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Claude Code directly (the ACP auth-verification work). The
tenant-binding guard, managed-sandbox-only redirect, and UI three-tier
resolution apply to the shared adapter Test route and affect every
local-driver adapter (Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Pi, Cursor, etc.), not
only Claude — see "What Changed" below for the split between Claude-only
and shared changes.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Both board and agent paths use the affected Test surface, for every
local-driver adapter.
**Additional context**
Two commits that were previously bundled into this PR — a
`plugin-worker-manager` duplex-channel frame-bound fix and a
`workspace-runtime` exit-persist crash fix — are unrelated to the
adapter Test lane and have been split out into their own PRs: #11860 and
#11861.
## What Changed
Claude-only (`packages/adapters/claude-local`):
- Verify `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` and run the hello probe for every
Claude ACP target.
- Keep `adapter_auth_missing` sandbox-only and report missing
non-sandbox credentials as a warning.
- Add a deny-by-default probe environment builder for the ACP and CLI
local probes.
- Log only fixed probe context and allowlisted classifications.
- Seed the host OAuth token into the hello probe environment.
Shared, cross-adapter (`server/src/routes/agents.ts`,
`ui/src/lib/adapter-test-environment.ts`,
`ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/OnboardingWizard.tsx`):
- Add a company-binding guard and a binding assertion for the generic
`/companies/:companyId/adapters/:type/test-environment` route, so a
foreign-company environment id is rejected before any secret resolution
or sandbox lease, for every adapter type.
- Resolve all three server environment tiers (agent default, instance
default, local default) in the UI, and add the managed-sandbox-only
redirect so the Test probes the same target a real run would use.
- Enforce onboarding Test results: block hire on a failed environment
test.
- Add regression tests for authentication, tenant binding, probe safety,
diagnostics, and UI resolution.
## Verification
- Adapter suites pass for the Claude local server probe, remote, ACP,
auth, probe environment, and config paths.
- Server route tests pass, including the five tenant-binding cases.
- UI adapter Test environment resolver tests pass for all three
resolution tiers.
- Adapter package `tsc --noEmit` exits 0.
- Full CI must pass on this pull request.
## Risks
The probe environment now denies caller variables by default. A required
variable that is not on the allowlist could stop a probe from starting.
The route now rejects foreign environment ids with a fixed 403 response.
The managed-sandbox-only redirect changes where the Test (and the login
affordance) probes for every local-driver adapter under that policy, not
only Claude — operators running other local adapters under
managed-sandbox-only will see their Test target move from local to the
managed sandbox, matching what real runs already do. The change limits
secret and diagnostic exposure.
## Model Used
Original implementation: OpenAI Codex, GPT-5; exact context window not
exposed in that run; tool use and code execution.
This revision (commit split and title/description correction): Claude,
Sonnet 5 (claude-sonnet-5). The original title and description described
this PR as Claude-only; review found it also changes the shared adapter
Test route and UI resolution used by every local-driver adapter, and
carried two unrelated server fixes. Claude split those two commits into
#11860 and #11861 via `git rebase --onto` (verified byte-identical to
the original tree minus those commits) and rewrote this description to
reflect the actual scope. No functional code in this PR was authored by
Claude.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip runs across the CLI, server, adapters, plugins, CI, and
container images.
> - These surfaces declared different Node.js versions from 20 through
24.
> - A newer `@types/node` major can expose APIs that the supported
runtime does not provide.
> - Node.js 20 is no longer a suitable project baseline, and Node.js 24
is the current LTS line.
> - This pull request sets Node.js 24.11.0 as one repository-wide
baseline, adds a drift check, and gives users actionable startup
guidance when their runtime is too old.
> - The benefit is one clear runtime contract for development, release,
installation, and published packages.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #2734
Refs #11727
Refs #739
## What Changed
- Require Node.js 24.11.0 or newer in all 42 package manifests and
runtime checks.
- Use Node.js 24 in GitHub Actions, Docker images, smoke images, sandbox
setup, portable installs, and esbuild targets.
- Align every direct `@types/node` declaration on `^24.0.0`.
- Prevent Dependabot from opening major `@types/node` upgrades without a
matching runtime decision.
- Add `.nvmrc` and a CI policy check for Node version drift.
- Update ACP version gates, tests, and user documentation for the new
minimum.
- Print a non-blocking warning on CLI and server startup when Node is
unsupported, with remediation through a version manager or the
documented downloaded `install.sh` workflow.
- Deduplicate that warning when `paperclipai run` boots the CLI and
server in the same process.
## Verification
- `node scripts/check-node-version-policy.mjs`
- `node --check scripts/check-node-version-policy.mjs`
- `node --check cli/esbuild.config.mjs`
- `node --check scripts/generate-npm-package-json.mjs`
- `bash -n scripts/install.sh scripts/test-install-sh-docker.sh
scripts/e2e-install-lifecycle.sh`
- Parsed all 42 package manifests and confirmed `engines.node` is
`>=24.11.0`.
- `git diff --check`
- `vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-install-command.test.ts` passed with
3 tests.
- `vitest run cli/src/node-version.test.ts` passed with 4 tests.
- Directly exercised the shared warning helper for unsupported-version
messaging and same-process deduplication.
- The focused exe.dev suite could not resolve the locally unbuilt plugin
SDK from this isolated worktree. A full offline workspace install was
also blocked because the package-manager signature verifier requires
registry access. The full suite was not run locally; draft CI performs a
clean install and evaluates the wider impact.
## Risks
- This is a breaking runtime change for users, plugins, and deployments
that still use Node.js 20 or 22.
- Published workspace packages will now produce an engine warning or
failure in strict package managers on older Node.js releases.
- Node.js 24 can reveal dependency, native module, Playwright, or agent
CLI compatibility issues in CI.
- The bootstrap installer now installs Node.js 24 when the current
runtime is older than 24.11.0.
- The portable sandbox fallback is pinned to Node.js 24.11.0 and depends
on that upstream tarball remaining available.
- Unsupported runtimes continue booting after a warning, so a later
incompatibility can still fail at its point of use.
- The CLI and server share the warning policy through the published
`@paperclipai/shared` package; packaging checks must keep that subpath
export available.
- This PR does not commit `pnpm-lock.yaml` because repository policy
assigns lockfile generation to CI.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox agents need a safe login path for each supported adapter
> - Codex device login and Claude setup-token login used separate
session stores and route logic
> - Separate stores made session lookup, expiry, and login capability
checks harder to keep consistent
> - This pull request unifies both flows on one session table and one
capability contract
> - The benefit is one company-scoped login model with public session
identifiers and shared lifecycle rules
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Problem or motivation**
Codex and Claude sandbox login used separate session stores and
different route paths. This split increased the risk of inconsistent
company scoping, session lookup, and cleanup.
**Proposed solution**
Use `adapter_auth_sessions` for both login flows. Use public session
identifiers for API access. Select login behavior from projected adapter
capability data. Share the route spine, lease arguments, runner
lifecycle, and reaper rules.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep two session tables and add matching fixes to both routes. This
keeps duplicate logic and does not provide one capability contract, so
this pull request uses shared infrastructure.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the shipped Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone in
`ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- Unify Codex device login and Claude setup-token login on
`adapter_auth_sessions`.
- Return and look up sessions with company-scoped public session
identifiers.
- Enforce one active session for each company, owner, and adapter.
- Share the login route spine, sandbox lease arguments, runner
lifecycle, and missing-auth check.
- Add a standalone setup-token reaper with adapter-specific row
selection.
- Add optional login capability projection for adapters and drive route
and UI selection from that data.
- Rename the provider flag to `supportsLoginPty` and validate its
deprecated alias.
- Remove the old Claude setup-token session table and add the required
migrations.
## Verification
- Server typecheck passed with `tsc`.
- Database typecheck passed.
- UI typecheck passed with `tsc -b`.
- Codex login service and route suites passed.
- Setup-token session, route, and reaper suites passed.
- Adapter session schema, plugin validator, capability projection, UI
render, and Daytona suites passed.
- GitHub Actions must confirm the complete CI gate after pull request
creation.
## Risks
- The migrations remove short-lived in-flight login rows during
deployment. A login that spans the migration can continue until its
provider lease expires.
- The Codex credential store remains company-scoped. A cross-owner
credential race remains a documented, board-accepted risk.
- API clients that use internal session row identifiers no longer work.
The API accepts only public session identifiers.
## Model Used
Codex, GPT-5, exact runtime model ID not exposed in this handoff, large
context window, reasoning, and repository tool use. The implementing
engineer produced the code with AI assistance.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Managed worktree services run isolated Paperclip instances with
cloned databases.
> - A reachable service was reported as ready even when its database,
runtime identity, or login path was not usable.
> - The first candidate added verified database seeding and managed
repair in #11665.
> - This pull request consolidates that candidate with signed login
handoff and a complete readiness contract.
> - Post-QA fixes close five defects in repair identity, repair
responses, UI retry, seed journal handling, and seed-source trust.
> - The benefit is a workspace that either opens safely or reports one
accurate recovery action.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this work, so the problem is described
here.
**What happened**
Managed workspace URLs could return HTTP 200 and report ready while
login failed. QA also found cases where repair used the wrong instance
identity, returned a generic error, left the UI stuck, rejected a safe
journal lag, or trusted a mutable workspace manifest.
**Expected behavior**
Opening a ready workspace signs the board user in to the correct
isolated instance. Provisioning and repair use a registered source and
report a structured recovery state.
**Actual behavior**
Entry depended on a password copied into the clone. Several failure
paths could publish stale readiness, hide the repair precondition, or
trust state that the workspace could modify.
**Additional context**
This pull request includes the commits first published in #11665. That
pull request keeps the original base head for review history. This
consolidated pull request is the merge candidate. Related open readiness
work includes #11575 and #11621.
## What Changed
- Adds a short-lived, signed, single-use login ticket. It binds the
user, workspace, instance, and runtime origin.
- Exchanges the ticket through Better Auth. It creates the session and
cookie through the supported adapter path.
- Adds protected workspace readiness fields for the database, clone
data, login handoff, seed phase, and runtime identity.
- Fails readiness closed when the guest has no company or
execution-workspace binding.
- Binds ticket issuance to the exact cloned user and active company
membership selected for the handoff.
- Verifies every current active board identity through the exact-user
handoff before publication or reuse.
- Gates managed runtime publication on the readiness contract and the
recorded worktree instance identity.
- Refreshes runtime work products from the live runtime row after a port
change.
- Adds one workspace access card with ready, degraded, repairing, and
failed states.
- Uses the runtime response identity for repair. It returns structured
repair precondition errors.
- Lets a valid source journal lag converge during provisioning.
- Binds seed and repair manifests to a source registered outside the
agent-writable worktree.
- Clears recovered UI errors so a successful retry can open the
workspace.
- Makes runtime tests register canonical sources and avoid ports owned
by live host listeners.
- Keeps Vitest on source suites when compiled `dist` trees exist.
- Isolates CLI and adapter tests from ambient AWS and runtime API
environment variables.
- Preserves a 404 response for cross-company workspace ID lookups before
runtime authorization.
- Makes concurrent single-flight coverage independent of
path-canonicalization scheduling order.
## Verification
The following checks passed on the integrated head:
```sh
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm build
pnpm check:token-gates
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations
```
- The server source lane passed 420 files and 4,953 tests. Five tests
were skipped.
- The CLI lane passed 57 files and 385 tests.
- The database lane passed 26 files and 97 tests.
- The shared package passed 58 files and 506 tests.
- The adapter utility lane passed 640 tests. Four tests were skipped.
- The Claude adapter passed 220 tests. One test was skipped.
- The Codex adapter passed 323 tests.
- The OpenClaw adapter passed 13 tests.
- The OpenCode adapter passed 42 tests.
- The plugin SDK passed 45 tests.
- The workspace runtime suite passed 124 tests.
- The caller-scoped readiness and handoff suite passed 52 tests.
- The workspace provisioning shell suite passed 7 tests.
- The runtime exposure suite passed 17 tests while live host mappings
occupied fixed test ports.
- `git diff --check` passed and the worktree is clean.
The serialized route lane will run in GitHub CI with its normal shards.
No deployment or active-workspace migration was performed.
## Risks
- This is a medium-risk authentication and runtime-readiness change.
- The login ticket uses exact origin, workspace, instance, and user
binding. It has a short expiry and a one-time nonce.
- Runtime publication is stricter. A real readiness, identity, per-user
handoff, or control-plane database disagreement now blocks publication.
- This pull request supersedes #11665 as the merge candidate. Close
#11665 after this pull request merges.
- No new database migration is included. The lockfile and workflow files
are unchanged.
- Deployment and active-workspace migration are intentionally outside
this pull request.

## Model Used
Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5[1m]`), 1M context, extended thinking, tool
use, and code execution produced the main candidate. OpenAI GPT-5
(`gpt-5`) through Codex, with agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution, integrated the post-QA fixes and hardened the test gates. The
Codex context-window size was not exposed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related public work:
[#9488](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9488) adds
first-class recognition for `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` in headless and
remote runs. Related public issue:
[#2681](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/issues/2681) requests
Claude Code subscription support. This pull request adds the login
transport and new-agent UI flow that those changes do not provide.
**Subsystem affected:** Claude local adapter, server login probes,
sandbox provider setup, cleanup recovery, and the new-agent UI.
**Problem or motivation:** The Test lanes did not show the sandbox login
panel in all supported cases. Test results also exposed raw probe
diagnostics, and JSON escapes could end secret redaction early.
**Proposed solution:** Surface the login capability through the bundled
provider manifest. Prepare the same probe runtime in the ACP lane. Send
diagnostics only to redacted server logs. Keep Test checks on fixed
public messages. Normalize login URL hints to allowlisted HTTPS Claude
and Anthropic hosts. Consume JSON escapes during redaction. Preserve
failed sandbox cleanup state across retries and restarts, and prevent
deletion from severing the lifecycle context of a live reusable sandbox.
**Alternatives considered:** Keep raw diagnostics in Test checks or
trust login URL text from the sandbox. Both choices increase information
exposure. Keep separate probe behavior in the ACP lane. That choice
would leave the two Test lanes inconsistent.
## What Changed
- Surface the sandbox login panel on both Test lanes.
- Reconcile the bundled Daytona plugin manifest so
`supportsSetupTokenLogin` reaches the UI capability gate.
- Prepare the ACP Test lane with the same probe runtime as the CLI Test
lane.
- Add the `claude_acp_login_probe_unavailable` warning when the ACP
probe cannot run.
- Send raw sandbox diagnostics only to redacted server logs.
- Keep Test checks on fixed public messages in the ACP, managed-config,
and CLI paths.
- Normalize login URL hints to allowlisted HTTPS Claude and Anthropic
hosts.
- Redact JSON and escaped-JSON secret values, including escaped quotes
and backslashes.
- Preserve orphan cleanup records across provider failures, restarts,
and unavailable plugins.
- Atomically block environment deletion while a live reusable sandbox
lease still depends on it.
- Verify pending cleanup destroys plugin sandboxes with the provider
configuration recorded on the lease, even after the current environment
configuration changes.
## Verification
- Head under review: `506b7fa2d83c36bfa5fd722ee9d95b0c7431c241`.
- Focused environment route/service/runtime coverage passes: 196 tests
across 3 files.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- The full Vitest run completed with 4,754 passing and 28 failing tests.
All 23 source-test failures reproduce unchanged on parent head
`58cfe61a33191ce03d965d65085d26064b4888ba`; the other 5 are duplicate
executions from stale `server/dist` output. The failures are unrelated
macOS path/listener and scheduler-fixture failures, so there is no new
bad commit for bisect to localize.
- All required CI checks pass for the current head, including build,
typecheck/release registry, all server and workspace shards, serialized
server suites, canary, and e2e.
- A fresh Greptile review for `506b7fa2d83c36bfa5fd722ee9d95b0c7431c241`
reports 5/5, “safe to merge,” with no blocking failure remaining.
## Risks
- A probe or redaction change could hide useful server diagnostics.
- An allowlist change could reject a valid Claude login URL.
- Cleanup recovery changes could affect provider teardown ordering.
- An environment with a live reusable sandbox can no longer be deleted
until the owning issue or execution workspace completes teardown.
- The implementation keeps public Test messages fixed and sends detail
to redacted server logs.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex — exact model ID: GPT-5; tool use and code
execution enabled; extended reasoning enabled. The implementation author
used AI-assisted development.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent adapters run ACP sessions and manage runtime, workspace, and
lease resources.
> - Several failure paths left runtime bridges, staged workspaces, or
environment leases active after an error.
> - These leaks reduce run reliability and can leave later runs without
clean resources.
> - This pull request closes the failure paths, applies one teardown
policy, and adds regression tests.
> - The benefit is consistent failure settlement and safer reuse of
agent workspaces and leases.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
ACP runs could leave runtime bridges, staged workspaces, or environment
leases active after failures. Claude and Gemini ACP runs did not restore
the sandbox workspace on teardown. Lease release stopped when one lease
returned an error.
**Expected behavior**
Each ACP failure must return an error result and settle its resources.
Teardown must run each step, release leases independently, and restore
the host workspace when the sandbox ends. Pending cleanup leases must
receive bounded retry attempts.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an ACP session that fails after runtime creation or during turn
preparation.
2. Run an ACP session that fails during a warm hit or staged runtime
handoff.
3. Run lease cleanup with more than one lease when the first release
returns an error.
4. Inspect the result phase, teardown calls, workspace state, and lease
metadata.
5. Run the regression suites listed in the Verification section.
## What Changed
- Settle every ACP failure after runtime creation with an error result
and one sandbox.startup span closure.
- Close the ACP runtime and remove warm entries after every pre-turn
failure.
- Run all teardown steps, record teardown errors, release staging leases
in finally, and prevent duplicate teardown.
- Dispose staged runtimes after seam failures and remove borrowed staged
entries with identity guards.
- Add fail-open workspace sync-back teardown for Claude and Gemini ACP
adapters.
- Isolate lease release errors and add bounded retry sweeps for stranded
pending_cleanup leases.
- Atomically claim pending_cleanup retries and clamp attempt readers to
keep the five-attempt bound.
- Default absent provider reusableLeases values to false and align the
fake provider with its runtime declaration.
- Add regression tests for engine, adapter, server, and shared
environment behavior.
## Verification
- [x] `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts` — 124 tests
passed.
- [x] `npx vitest run
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` — 61 tests
passed.

- [x] All listed suites ran from the repository root.
- [x] GitHub CI completed successfully for

- [x] Greptile completed with a 5/5 confidence score and no blocking
finding.
## Risks
The engine changes affect failure settlement and teardown order across
ACP runs. The server changes add retry state to existing lease metadata
without a schema migration. The adapter changes restore workspaces after
sandbox execution. Regression tests cover the changed paths. GitHub CI
and Greptile passed for the current head.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. This change fixes runtime
reliability and does not duplicate a roadmap feature.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex. The model used tool-based repository inspection,
GitHub operations, and code review support. The runtime does not expose
a context-window value.

Fixes#2444.
Refs #4947.
The `claude_local` adapter launched Claude Code as
`claude --print - --output-format stream-json --verbose`. Paperclip writes
the rendered task prompt to Claude's stdin, but current Claude Code releases
can treat the stale `-` positional marker as the prompt itself, so Claude
received the literal string `"-"` instead of the issue body. The customer's
task ran against no content at all.
The fix keeps `--print` mode and stdin delivery, and removes the stale `-`.
Adds regression coverage on both sides of the delivery path: a `claude_local`
assertion that `--print` is present, `"-"` is absent and the prompt still
reaches stdin, and an adapter-utils case proving the sandbox run-log command
wrapper preserves stdin while streaming logs.
Authored by @elJayAdvisor, whose commit is included unchanged with their
authorship. The branch had gone stale and was showing CONFLICTING; the
conflict was in `execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`, where their new test was
added at the same point as master's `creates the process session directories
only in the launch exec` case and git interleaved the two into one hunk.
Resolved by taking master's file and re-inserting their test whole, after
checking every helper it needs still exists there.
Verified: the bug was still live on master at `execute.ts:838`; the
regression test genuinely catches it — restoring the stale `-` fails
`expect(captured.argv).not.toContain("-")`; `@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local`
and `@paperclipai/adapter-utils` typecheck clean; 67 pass across the two test
files. All CI gates green; Greptile 5/5.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No directly matching public issue or PR found.
Bug description:
- **Problem:** `claude_local` can fail its local probe/execution path
when Paperclip runs from a root-owned local container/runtime because
Claude Code refuses `--dangerously-skip-permissions` under root/sudo.
- **Actual behavior:** The adapter may fail immediately with Claude's
root/sudo guard before validating the real Claude runtime/auth state.
- **Expected behavior:** Local root processes should use the same
explicit allowlist strategy Paperclip already uses for remote targets,
while local non-root behavior remains unchanged.
- **Environment:** Local/self-hosted Docker or container-style Paperclip
runtime where the app process UID is `0`.
Related but different: #4926 covers MCP config propagation for the
Claude local adapter, not the root/sudo permission flag behavior fixed
here.
## What Changed
- Added root-aware permission argument selection for the Claude local
adapter.
- Preserved current local non-root behavior:
`--dangerously-skip-permissions` is still used when allowed.
- Preserved current remote behavior: remote targets continue using
explicit `--allowedTools`.
- Changed local root behavior to use the explicit `--allowedTools` list
instead of `--dangerously-skip-permissions`.
- Threaded process UID awareness through Claude local probe and
execution paths.
- Added unit coverage for skip-disabled, remote, local non-root, local
root, and UID-unavailable behavior.
## Verification
```sh
./node_modules/.bin/vitest run --config g15-vitest-claude-local.config.mjs \
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/permissions.test.ts
```
Result:
```text
1 file passed
8 tests passed
```
```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck
```
Result:
```text
@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck passed
```
Additional local smoke:
- Ran a disposable root-container Claude adapter diagnostic against this
patch.
- The diagnostic no longer fails with Claude's root/sudo
`--dangerously-skip-permissions` error.
- It proceeds to the actual environment-specific Claude auth/runtime
result.
- No credentials, tokens, hostnames, private paths, or internal
Paperclip issue references are included in this PR.
Public duplicate checks performed:
```sh
gh pr list --repo paperclipai/paperclip --state open --search 'claude local root permissions dangerously skip permissions allowedTools'
gh issue list --repo paperclipai/paperclip --state open --search 'claude local root permissions dangerously skip permissions allowedTools'
```
## Risks
Low-to-medium risk adapter behavior change:
- Local root Claude runs will now use explicit `--allowedTools` rather
than broad skip-permissions behavior.
- That is intentionally safer, but an environment depending on broader
implicit tool access under root may now need the adapter allowlist to
include any required tools.
- Local non-root behavior is unchanged.
- Remote behavior is unchanged.
- No database migrations, API contract changes, or UI changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Claude agents that run in a remote sandbox need a safe in-product
login path

that sandbox

OAuth token at every step
> - This pull request adds the parser, the runner, a Daytona
pseudo-terminal transport, and a guarded, owner-bound session route
behind an injectable transport

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Claude Code setup-token login for sandbox agents.
**Why this adapter is useful**
Sandbox agents need a supported way to sign in without host credentials.
An authorized owner completes the browser step and receives the token
one time.
**How the agent is invoked**
When a sandbox provider binds the injectable transport, the server
starts `claude setup-token` through a sandbox pseudo-terminal, sends the
browser code to the matched prompt, and returns the token through the
guarded session route. The default build does not bind the transport. In
that state the start route fails closed with a fixed no-secret `503`. It
does not start a process and it does not hold a sandbox lease.
**Additional context**
The transport is injectable, so each sandbox provider binds its own
pseudo-terminal. This pull request adds the Daytona transport but does
not bind it in the production server. A production wiring needs a lease
manager, a live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its
own security review. The route keeps secrets out of logs, activity
details, errors, telemetry, and non-owner responses.
## What Changed
- Add strict parsers for the setup-token URL, the prompt, and the
success token.
- Add a login runner that drives the `claude setup-token` command
through a pseudo-terminal.
- Add the Daytona pseudo-terminal transport and the sandbox plugin
wiring.
- Add a company-scoped, owner-bound login session service with rate
limits, a reaper, cleanup, and one-time token delivery.
- Add the guarded session routes at
`/agents/:id/setup-token-login-sessions/*` behind an injectable
transport. The routes become the live login path only when a provider
binds the transport.
- Keep the start route fail-closed in the default build. It returns a
fixed no-secret `503` and it does not bind `setupTokenLogin`.
- Keep the existing host route `POST /agents/:id/claude-login` in place.
This pull request does not replace it.
- Keep confidential responses behind a fail-closed TLS transport guard
with `Cache-Control: no-store`, and extend redaction for the new fields.
- Export the parser and the runner from the Claude local server entry,
and document the new session routes in the OpenAPI spec.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run setup-token-route
setup-token-session`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local exec vitest run`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- Confirm that the pull request checks pass on GitHub.
## Risks
- Low user-facing risk on merge. The default build does not bind the
transport, so the production start route stays fail-closed with a `503`.
The merge does not change the production login behavior.
- When a provider later binds the transport, the flow starts a live
sandbox process and holds a short-lived in-memory secret. Cleanup must
stop the child before it releases the sandbox lease.
- The transport guard fails closed when the deployment does not provide
a trusted TLS path. A wrong proxy allowlist can block a valid request.
- The production wiring is out of scope. It needs a lease manager, a
live pseudo-terminal factory, a durable token store, and its own
security review before the server binds `setupTokenLogin`.
## Model Used
Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8 assisted the implementation. It used extended
reasoning, code execution, repository tool use, and a 200,000-token
context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The agent Test action builds adapter config from the form.
> - The build-config parser kept plain and secret_ref bindings.
> - It dropped user_secret_ref bindings on the create path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The agent Test action dropped a user-scoped env binding in create mode.
The same agent config worked in a real run. Related public PRs: #10115,
#9321, #9921, #8825.
**Expected behavior**
The Test action should keep user-scoped env bindings and resolve them
like a real run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Set a user-scoped env binding on an agent config form.
2. Run Test in create mode.
3. The probe runs without the variable.
**Paperclip version or commit**
c09d2509e3
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (pnpm dev)
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug)
**Database mode**
Embedded PGlite (default — DATABASE_URL unset)
**Additional context**
This change is not Claude-specific.
## What Changed
- Added a shared env binding parser in `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`.
- Replaced the eight adapter build-config copies with the shared helper.
- Kept `plain`, `secret_ref`, and `user_secret_ref` bindings intact in
create mode and edit mode.
- Preserved the runtime merge behavior from the earlier env merge
change.
## Verification
- Author-recorded test run:
`packages/adapter-utils/src/env-bindings.test.ts`
- Author-recorded test run:
`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/ui/build-config.test.ts`
- Author-recorded test run: six adapter build-config test files
- Author-recorded typecheck: `tsc --noEmit` for adapter-utils and the
eight adapter packages
- GitHub checks: all required PR checks pass on PR #10926.
- Greptile review: 5/5 with no open comments.
## Risks
- The change touches adapter config assembly.
- A wrong binding shape would change test-time probe input.
- Tests cover the binding types and the create-mode path.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The claude_local adapter runs Claude Code on sandbox execution
targets, and operators verify an agent's configuration with the
test-environment probe before running it
> - Real runs merge the selected environment's env vars (secret refs
included) under the agent's adapter config env, but the probe built its
config from the adapter config alone — so environment-level auth worked
in runs while the Test button reported missing auth, and a dropped
secret binding passed silently
> - The claude env-test hints also did not recognize
`CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` even though the CLI accepts it, and a hello
probe that hit the subscription usage limit reported a hard failure
although authentication worked
> - Separately, the claude-local package test suites were absent from
the CI project list, so two suites drifted broken without notice
> - This pull request makes the probe resolve the same layered env as a
real run, adds the missing auth hint, classifies usage-limit probe
results as a warning, repairs the drifted suites, and turns the
claude-local project on in CI
> - The benefit is a Test button that tells the truth about
environment-level configuration, and a test suite that actually gates
the claude-local adapter
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; related open PRs: Refs #9488 (recognizes
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN in environment checks — overlaps with the
auth-hint portion of this PR via a differently named check; it does not
cover the environment-envVars probe merge, the usage-limit
classification, or the CI coverage), Refs #9933 (live credential
validation in environment checks — complementary, no file-level conflict
with the route change).
The underlying problem, following the enhancement template:
**Current behavior**
The test-environment route builds the probe config from the agent's
adapterConfig only. Real runs merge the selected environment's envVars
under the agent env, so environment-level env vars (including auth such
as `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` or `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` bound as environment
secrets) work in runs while "Test environment" cannot see them, and a
missing secret binding passes silently. The claude env-test hints do not
recognize `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`. A hello probe that hits the
subscription usage limit reports a hard `claude_hello_probe_failed`. The
claude-local package test suites do not run in CI, and two of them are
stale.
**Proposed behavior**
The probe resolves the selected environment's envVars
(environment-consumer secret bindings included) and merges them under
the agent config env with the run-path precedence; missing bindings
surface as an explicit error check that fails the test. The env-test
emits a `claude_oauth_token_configured` info check when that variable is
set. Usage-limit probe results classify as a
`claude_hello_probe_usage_limited` warning because auth works and only
the usage window is spent. The claude-local suites run in CI. Docs state
the resulting facts.
**Reason and benefit**
The Test button should tell the truth: it previously contradicted run
behavior for environment-level configuration and hid broken secret
bindings. Enabling the package suites in CI prevents further silent
drift — two suites were already broken on master without anyone
noticing.
**Breaking changes**
None. Runs are unchanged. The probe route only adds env layers and
checks; setups without environment envVars behave exactly as before.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/agents.ts`: the test-environment route resolves the
selected environment's envVars (forbidden keys stripped,
environment-consumer secret context) and merges them under the agent
adapterConfig env, mirroring `resolveExecutionRunAdapterConfig`
precedence. Missing secret bindings are skipped, reported as an
`environment_env_binding_missing` error check, and fail the test —
matching the `ConfigurationIncompleteFailure` a real dispatch would
raise.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.ts`: new
`claude_oauth_token_configured` info hint between the API-key warning
and the subscription fallback; hello-probe classification gains a
`claude_hello_probe_usage_limited` warning for provider-quota results
(previously a hard `claude_hello_probe_failed`).
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`: add
`@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local` to `nonServerProjects` so CI runs
the package suites.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts`:
assert both runtime asset syncs (skills and mcp-config); the suite
predated the mcp-config asset.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.probe.test.ts`:
usage-limit fixture now expects the usage-limited warning; new fixture
covers the genuine transient path (529 overloaded); new tests cover the
token hint and API-key precedence.
- `server/src/__tests__/agent-test-environment-routes.test.ts`: new
tests for the env merge (agent wins on conflict, forbidden key
filtered), missing-binding reporting, and the no-execution-target
fallback path.
- `docs/adapters/claude-local.md`, `docs/adapters/overview.md`: state
the auth-input facts (API key or oauth token wins over stored logins;
snapshot-owns-auth applies when neither is configured) and describe the
environment-aware Test behavior.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local` — 131
tests pass (both drifted suites repaired; they fail on master today).
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-test-environment-routes.test.ts` — 7 tests
pass.
- `node --test ./scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs` —
passes with the added project.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/` and `packages/adapters/claude-local/` —
clean.
## Risks
- Low risk. The run path is untouched; the probe route change is
additive and inert when the environment has no envVars.
- The probe now performs environment-consumer secret resolution at test
time; access is authorized per binding exactly as at run time, and the
audit consumer is the environment (as before for adapter-config
resolution).
- Enabling the claude-local project in CI adds about 2 seconds of vitest
wall time to the general workspaces group and could surface future
regressions in that package — which is the point.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking enabled, agentic
tool use via Claude Code (CLI).

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue. The bug is described inline following the
bug-report template:
**What happened**
The `claude_local` agent-config model dropdown intermittently omitted
Claude Sonnet 5. `claude-sonnet-5` was missing from the adapter's static
fallback `models` array (`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/index.ts`),
so it only surfaced when the live Anthropic `/v1/models` discovery
happened to succeed.
**Expected behavior**
Claude Sonnet 5 is a shipped flagship model and should always be
selectable in the dropdown, independent of whether live discovery
succeeds.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server without a working live Anthropic `/v1/models` path (no
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, Bedrock mode, a discovery timeout, or a cache
miss).
2. Open agent config for a `claude_local` agent and inspect the model
dropdown.
3. Observe that `claude-sonnet-5` is absent because the static fallback
list omitted it.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted / local adapter (`claude_local`); the server process reads
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` from its environment.
## What Changed
- Added `{ id: "claude-sonnet-5", label: "Claude Sonnet 5" }` to the
`claude_local` static `models` fallback, immediately after
`claude-opus-4-8` (so Opus 4.8 stays the default first option).
- Added an explicit regression assertion in
`server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts` that `claude-sonnet-5` is
present in the `claude_local` fallback when live discovery is
unavailable.
## Verification
- `pnpm -C server exec vitest run src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts
-t "claude fallback"` — **passes** (the new `claude-sonnet-5` assertion
included).
- Reviewed the consuming tests: the fallback test also asserts
`models[0]?.id === "claude-opus-4-8"` (still index 0 — Sonnet 5 is index
1, unaffected); `adapter-registry.test.ts` reads `builtIn?.models`
dynamically, so no exact-array snapshot breaks.
- Change is a single static-data addition plus a test assertion; no
control-flow change.
## Risks
- Low risk. Pure additive change to a fallback list; no control-flow
change. Worst case is an id that a given account isn't entitled to,
which the existing "current"/manual-model UI paths already tolerate.
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-4-8` (Opus 4.8), extended
thinking + tool use, run as the Paperclip CTO agent.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Local adapters can confine agent processes with filesystem and
network sandbox policies
> - Allowlist confinement must still let an agent reach Paperclip's own
control plane and managed MCP servers
> - The Codex local adapter already marks those runtime-owned endpoints
as trusted, but the Claude local adapter did not
> - As a result, allowlisted Claude runs could not call their own
Paperclip API unless operators duplicated runtime URLs manually
> - This pull request mirrors the trusted-URL wiring in the Claude local
adapter and adds a regression test at the process-execution boundary
> - The benefit is that confined Claude agents retain their required
control-plane access without broadening the operator-managed network
allowlist
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #447
No exact public issue was found. The underlying bug is:
- **Observed:** with `claude_local` configured for local-process
`networkScope: "allowlist"`, the sandbox options omitted the
runtime-owned Paperclip API and MCP server URLs. Requests to those
endpoints could therefore be denied by confinement.
- **Expected:** Paperclip's own API URL and managed MCP server URLs are
passed as trusted sandbox targets, matching `codex_local` behavior.
- **Steps to reproduce:** configure a local Claude agent with allowlist
network confinement, omit the runtime Paperclip API URL from the
operator allowlist, and have the agent call its injected
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL`.
- **Version:** `ca92f727c5` (`origin/master` at branch creation).
- **Deployment mode:** local-process sandbox confinement in a local
deployment.
## What Changed
- Added the injected Paperclip API URL and runtime MCP server URLs to
`claude_local` sandbox `networkTrustedUrls`, filtering empty values.
- Added a unit test proving allowlist sandbox construction trusts
`PAPERCLIP_API_URL`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.acp-fallback.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
## Risks
- Low risk. The change only affects confined local Claude processes and
trusts runtime-owned endpoints already injected by Paperclip.
- Operator-configured `networkAllowlist` behavior is unchanged; the
added URLs use the sandbox's separate trusted-target path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue. The bug is described inline following the
bug-report template:
**What happened**
The `claude_local` agent-config model dropdown omitted Claude Opus 5.
`claude-opus-5` was missing from the adapter's static fallback `models`
array (`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/index.ts`), so it only
surfaced when the live Anthropic `/v1/models` discovery happened to
succeed.
**Expected behavior**
Claude Opus 5 is a shipped, generally-available flagship (Anthropic's
recommended model for agentic coding) and should always be selectable in
the dropdown, independent of whether live discovery succeeds.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server without a working live Anthropic `/v1/models` path (no
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, Bedrock mode, a discovery timeout, or a cache
miss).
2. Open agent config for a `claude_local` agent and inspect the model
dropdown.
3. Observe that `claude-opus-5` is absent because the static fallback
list omitted it.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted / local adapter (`claude_local`); the server process reads
`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` from its environment.
## What Changed
- Added `{ id: "claude-opus-5", label: "Claude Opus 5" }` to the
`claude_local` static `models` fallback. Placed after the current
5-family entries and above the legacy `claude-opus-4-7`, so
`claude-opus-4-8` stays the default (index 0) option.
- Added an explicit regression assertion in
`server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts` that `claude-opus-5` is
present in the `claude_local` fallback when live discovery is
unavailable.
## Verification
- `pnpm -C server exec vitest run src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts`
— **17/17 pass**, including the new `claude-opus-5` assertion and the
existing `models[0] === "claude-opus-4-8"` default invariant (unaffected
— Opus 5 is inserted lower in the list).
- Change is a single static-data addition plus a test assertion; no
control-flow change.
## Risks
- Low risk. Pure additive change to a fallback list; no control-flow
change. Worst case is an id a given account isn't entitled to, which the
existing "current"/manual-model UI paths already tolerate.
- Note for reviewers: a sibling PR adds `claude-sonnet-5` to the same
static array (near `claude-opus-4-8`). Both are complementary "refresh
the static list to current GA" changes; whichever merges second may need
a one-line merge resolution in
`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/index.ts` and the matching test
assertion block.
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-4-8` (Opus 4.8), extended
thinking + tool use, run as the Paperclip CTO agent.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Heartbeat wake payloads and the task-context markdown are the two
channels that deliver an issue's brief into an agent's prompt
> - #10151 fixed wake-prompt-only adapter lanes waking without the issue
description by adding it to the structured wake payload
> - That left the description delivered twice per prompt on lanes that
also inject the task-context markdown, and re-delivered in full on every
resume wake, permanently bloating persistent-session context
> - This pull request makes the task markdown the single description
carrier on lanes that use it, and omits the description from
non-assignment resume deltas on all lanes while keeping it for
assignment-shaped and recovery wakes
> - The benefit is that every lane receives the brief exactly once when
it needs it, and long-lived sessions stop re-paying the full brief in
tokens on every wake
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10151
Related prior work: #2883, #8402 (earlier description-delivery attempts
referenced by #10151). I searched the PR list for open work on
wake-payload description handling and found none besides the merged
#10151.
**Bug:** After #10151, adapters that inject the `Paperclip task context`
markdown (ACPX engine lanes, claude-local CLI, hermes server and
gateway) receive the issue description twice in a single prompt — once
in the wake prompt's `Issue description:` block and once in the task
markdown. Separately, resume deltas re-send the full description (up to
12k characters) on every wake even though the persistent session already
received it.
**Expected behavior:** The description appears exactly once per prompt
on every lane, and resume deltas only carry it when the resuming session
may not have seen the brief (assignment-shaped or recovery wakes),
leaving an explicit fetch breadcrumb otherwise.
**Reproduction:** Wake a claude-local or ACPX agent on an issue with a
description and inspect the assembled prompt: the description text
appears in both the wake-payload block and the task-context block. Wake
the same session again via a comment: the full description is present
again in the resume delta.
**Affected version:** Current `master` (with #10151 merged).
**Deployment mode:** Adapter-backed heartbeat execution, local and
sandboxed lanes.
## What Changed
- `renderPaperclipWakePrompt` accepts `suppressIssueDescription`; the
four task-markdown lanes pass it so the task markdown stays the single,
uncapped description carrier there.
- Non-assignment resume deltas omit the description and emit `- issue
description: omitted from this resume delta; fetch the issue if you need
the latest brief`. Assignment-shaped reasons (`issue_assigned`,
`issue_reopened_via_comment`, `issue_recovery_action_restored`,
`issue_tree_restored`) and recovery wakes still deliver the full brief.
- `buildPaperclipTaskMarkdown` gains `includeDescription`; the server
now also publishes `context.paperclipTaskMarkdownCompact` (description
stripped, directives and wake comment kept), and the new
`selectPaperclipTaskMarkdown` helper picks the right variant under the
same resume rules, falling back to the full markdown when no compact
variant exists (version skew safety).
- The wake prompt's description block now carries the same user-authored
trust framing the task markdown already had.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-context-summary.test.ts` — 137 tests
passed, including new coverage for suppression, resume omission plus
breadcrumb, assignment-shaped resume inclusion, compact-variant
building, variant selection, and an end-to-end ACPX prompt-assembly test
asserting the description appears exactly once on fresh wakes and not at
all on comment resumes.
- `npx vitest run` in `packages/adapters/hermes` — 59 tests passed,
including a gateway execute-level test asserting the brief is sent
exactly once on fresh runs and not re-sent on stable-session resumes.
- `tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils`,
`packages/adapters/claude-local`, `packages/adapters/hermes` — clean;
`server` matches the `master` baseline exactly (pre-existing plugin-sdk
resolution errors only, none in touched files).
- Pre-existing failures confirmed identical on clean `master`:
claude-local `execute.remote.test.ts` / `test.probe.test.ts`,
adapter-utils `mcp-isolation.integration.test.ts` (requires a newer
local Claude CLI).
## Risks
- Behavioral shift, prompt-only: a resumed session woken by a comment on
an issue it never handled (rare — assignment wakes normally precede
comment wakes) would not get the inline description; the breadcrumb plus
the standard issue-fetch path covers it.
- Additive context key (`paperclipTaskMarkdownCompact`); older adapters
ignore it and newer adapters fall back to the full markdown when it is
absent, so mixed-version deployments degrade to current behavior.
- No schema, migration, or API changes; the structured wake-payload JSON
shape is unchanged.
- Known follow-up deliberately out of scope: openclaw embeds the raw
wake-payload JSON (which still contains the description) in prompt text
for machine parsing. The hermes-gateway lane is handled: it detects
stable-session resumes (issue/agent session-key strategy plus a stored
prior session id), compacts the task markdown, and omits the description
from its prompt-embedded JSON copy.
> This is a focused correctness/efficiency fix to existing wake plumbing
and does not overlap with planned roadmap feature work.
## Model Used
- Anthropic Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking
enabled, with repository tool use, shell execution, and local test
execution via Claude Code.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane that orchestrates AI agents and adapter
execution for human operators.
> - Agents run across local and remote execution contexts, and
reliability in remote sessions depends on consistent adapter
bootstrapping.
> - The ACP path must prepare per-adapter runtime homes so managed
credentials and config are available in sandboxed runner environments.
> - Before this change, the new remote ACP lane did not yet consistently
stage managed-home paths for all affected adapters or restore Codex auth
state on teardown.
> - We added a shared per-adapter seam in the ACP engine, then wired
Codex, Claude, and Gemini remote lanes to seed managed homes and remap
to in-sandbox locations.
> - Codex additionally reuses the existing atomic auth restore flow to
copy auth back on teardown, matching CLI behavior.
> - This improves remote runner parity with existing CLI behavior and
avoids credential drift in shared-code-path executions.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- This change continues the ACP remote managed-home work by completing
per-adapter remote bootstrapping and Codex auth restore behavior for the
remote ACP lane.
- It specifically covers: `acpx-engine`, `codex-local`, `claude-local`,
and `gemini-local`.
- Related prior work in this repo: PR #10070.
## What Changed
- Add a per-adapter remote managed-home seam
(`prepareRemoteManagedHome`) in `acpx-engine` and thread it through ACP
execution options.
- Implement Codex ACP preparation to:
- stage `CODEX_HOME` (auth/config/skills) into a sandboxed remote home,
- repoint `CODEX_HOME` to the in-sandbox path,
- and wire teardown copy-back through the existing managed-auth restore
path.
- Implement Claude ACP preparation to seed a sanitized `config-seed`
into `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` and remap that directory to the sandbox root.
- Implement Gemini ACP preparation to seed `~/.gemini/skills`, set
`HOME` to managed runtime root, and preselect API-key auth in
`settings.json`.
- Keep local and runner-less ACP→CLI behavior unchanged by only invoking
the remote managed-home seam when running in remote ACP mode.
- Preserve existing authorization and activity boundaries in the shared
engine and adapter layers.
## Verification
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/feat/acp-remote-managed-home-seed` confirms only
the expected 4 commits.
- `tsc --noEmit` is clean in `adapter-utils`, `codex-local`,
`claude-local`, and `gemini-local`.
- Vitest selection used during validation passed (120 tests across the
ACP-related suites).
## Risks
- If remote sandbox teardown occurs after token rotation but before
restore timing, Codex credentials can become stale and require re-auth
on next startup.
- Partial provisioning of managed-home assets would cause adapter
bootstrap failures in runner-backed ACP sessions.
- This change is scoped to execution-path behavior; it should not affect
CLI behavior.
## Model Used
None — human-authored.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The shared ACP engine
(`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`) is responsible for
launching local and remote agent processes via the ACP protocol
> - On runner-backed remote sandbox (Daytona) targets, `buildRuntime`
never crossed the CLI's staging seam: it never called
`prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime`, left `runtimeRootDir: null` in
both the paperclip and process-session bridges, and handed the agent the
**HOST filesystem path** as the `session/new` cwd — meaning
Claude/Gemini silently operated on a path that does not exist inside the
sandbox (Codex additionally crashes on its HOST home path, addressed in
a follow-up PR)
> - The fix must cross the staging seam for remote sandboxes, thread the
real `runtimeRootDir` through both bridges, and bind the in-sandbox
workspace path as the session cwd — without touching local ACP runs or
the runner-less ACP→CLI fallback
> - This pull request introduces a `stageAcpRemoteRuntime` helper that
calls `prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime` for runner-backed remote
runs, captures `{ workspaceRemoteDir, runtimeRootDir, assetDirs,
restoreWorkspace }`, and reuses the in-sandbox `workspaceRemoteDir` as
the single `sessionCwd` across `session/new`, the fingerprint,
compatibility check, persistence, `ensureSession`, the process-session
bridge cwd, and the error path
> - The benefit is that remote ACP runs now operate in the correct
in-sandbox cwd and receive a non-null `runtimeRootDir` in both bridges —
fixing silent wrong-cwd degradation for Claude/Gemini on Daytona
targets; this is PR 1 of 3 and seeds no credential material
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. Inline description
follows the feature request template:
### Subsystem affected
packages/adapters — agent adapter implementations
### Problem or motivation
The shared ACP engine
(`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`) never crossed the
CLI's staging seam on runner-backed remote sandbox targets. It never
called `prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime`, always passed
`runtimeRootDir: null` to both the paperclip and process-session
bridges, and handed the agent the **HOST filesystem path** as the ACP
`session/new` cwd. As a result, Claude and Gemini silently operated on a
cwd that does not exist inside the sandbox; Codex crashed with a fatal
error on the HOST `CODEX_HOME` path (that crash is in a follow-up PR).
### Proposed solution
Gate on `usesRunnerBackedSandbox` (`kind === "remote" && transport ===
"sandbox" && runner`). For runs that pass the gate, call
`prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime` via a new `stageAcpRemoteRuntime`
helper that ships the workspace into the sandbox and captures `{
workspaceRemoteDir, runtimeRootDir, assetDirs, restoreWorkspace }`.
Thread the real `runtimeRootDir` into both bridges. Bind a single
`sessionCwd` (the in-sandbox `workspaceRemoteDir`) and use it at every
cwd-keyed session site (`session/new`, fingerprint, compat, persist,
`ensureSession`, process-session bridge, error path) so a warm/resumable
session is reused rather than invalidated. For local runs and the
runner-less ACP→CLI fallback, `sessionCwd` resolves to the HOST cwd —
byte-identical to the previous behavior.
### Alternatives considered
Patching each per-adapter bridge individually — rejected because the bug
is in the shared engine layer and the fix belongs there so all three
adapters (Codex, Claude, Gemini) benefit without per-adapter
duplication.
### Roadmap alignment
Internal correctness fix enabling remote ACP to work as designed; no new
user-facing features. This is PR 1 of 3 in a sequential chain: PR 1
(this PR) stages the workspace and routes the cwd; PR 2 adds per-adapter
home seeding and copy-back; PR 3 wires session-lifecycle restore.
## What Changed
- **`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`** — added
`stageAcpRemoteRuntime` helper that calls
`prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime` for runner-backed remote
sandboxes and returns `{ sessionCwd, runtimeRootDir, stagedRuntime }`;
`buildRuntime` now uses this helper to derive `sessionCwd` (in-sandbox
`workspaceRemoteDir` for remote; HOST cwd unchanged for
local/runner-less) and threads the real `runtimeRootDir` to both the
paperclip bridge and process-session bridge; `stagedRuntime` is stashed
for the follow-up credential PR
- **`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`** — new
engine-level unit tests: staging seam crossed with no credential asset,
non-null `runtimeRootDir` in both bridges, in-sandbox `session/new` cwd,
warm-handle reuse after the cwd change, local-unchanged; 60 tests green
- **`packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts`** — new
per-adapter test: runner-backed remote asserts `ensureSession` cwd ==
`workspaceRemoteDir`; runner-less sandbox falls back to CLI
- **`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts`** — same
per-adapter coverage for Claude
- **`packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/acp.test.ts`** — same
per-adapter coverage for Gemini
## Verification
- `adapter-utils` typecheck clean; `codex/claude/gemini-local` typecheck
clean
- Engine units (`acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`): 60/60 green — staging
seam crossed with no credential asset, non-null `runtimeRootDir` to both
bridges, in-sandbox `session/new` cwd, warm-handle reuse after cwd
change, local unchanged
- Per-adapter ACP test suites (`codex/claude/gemini-local`
`acp.test.ts`): 103 tests green — runner-backed remote asserts
`ensureSession` cwd == `workspaceRemoteDir`; runner-less sandbox falls
back to CLI
- CI green on PR (in progress)
## Risks
This is PR 1 of 3 in a strictly sequential chain; it seeds **no
credential material** (no `assets`, no `installCommand`). The
per-adapter home seeding is deferred to PR 2, which consumes the
`stagedRuntime` object stashed here. The `restoreWorkspace` callback is
carried on `stagedRuntime` for PR 3's session-lifecycle wiring (see the
`stageAcpRemoteRuntime` function comment). Local ACP runs and the
runner-less ACP→CLI fallback are untouched — `sessionCwd` resolves to
the HOST cwd for those paths, preserving existing behavior. The
`stageAcpRemoteRuntime` helper is gated on `usesRunnerBackedSandbox`, so
there is no regression risk for local or CLI-lane runs.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runs get their environment from user/adapter/project/routine
env bindings resolved by the server heartbeat, plus `PAPERCLIP_*`
runtime vars (identity, wake, workspace, API access) injected by the
harness
> - The heartbeat stripped **every** `PAPERCLIP_`-prefixed binding
before resolution, so legitimately user-named keys (e.g. cloud provider
token bindings like `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_PROD_PROVIDER_RAILWAY_*`) were
silently dropped and never reached the run env
> - At the same time, several adapters honored an explicitly configured
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` over the harness-minted run token, which is exactly
the one key config must never control
> - This pull request replaces the blanket prefix strip with a precise
three-rule policy: never accept `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` from config, always
let harness-assigned runtime vars win, and let every other
`PAPERCLIP_*`-named user binding flow through
> - The benefit is that user secrets with a `PAPERCLIP_`-style name work
like any other binding, while runtime identity and API credentials stay
fully harness-controlled
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Bug description** (no public issue exists):
- **What happened:** Env bindings whose key starts with `PAPERCLIP_`
(e.g. a cloud provider token a user deliberately named
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_PROD_PROVIDER_RAILWAY_TOKEN`) were silently stripped by
the server before secret resolution, so the spawned agent never received
them. No error, no access event — the variable just never appeared.
- **Expected behavior:** A user-named `PAPERCLIP_*` binding should reach
the run env unless the harness itself uses that key. Only
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` should be categorically rejected, and
harness-assigned runtime vars (`PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID`,
wake/workspace vars, …) should always win over config.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Configure an agent/project env binding named
`PAPERCLIP_<ANYTHING>` (plain or secret_ref), run a heartbeat, and
inspect the spawned process env — the key is absent.
- **Deployment mode:** local server, any local adapter.
Related prior PRs (different, save-time/API-layer blanket-ban approach;
this PR supersedes that direction with a runtime allow-except-reserved
policy): Refs #8239, Refs #8439.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: the pre-resolution strip now
removes only `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` (hard denylist) instead of every
`PAPERCLIP_`-prefixed binding; other `PAPERCLIP_*` keys flow into
binding resolution. Low-trust inline-sensitive-env checks now also cover
those keys.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`: new
`isForbiddenConfigEnvKey()` helper; the shared
`refreshPaperclipWorkspaceEnvForExecution` merge drops
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` from config and keeps harness-assigned `PAPERCLIP_*`
keys authoritative.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`: removed the
explicit-`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`-from-config allowance; the run token
(`authToken`) is now always applied; config `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` is
ignored.
- All local adapters (`claude-local`, `codex-local`, `cursor-local`,
`gemini-local`, `grok-local`, `opencode-local`, `pi-local`) plus
`cursor-cloud`, `hermes`, and the server `process` adapter: removed
`hasExplicitApiKey`-style allowances so the harness token always wins,
and guarded the remaining unguarded env-merge loops (claude-local inline
loop, process adapter) with the same policy.
- Tests updated/added: heartbeat binding-strip test now asserts the
three-rule policy; adapter-utils merge tests assert the
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` ban and `PAPERCLIP_*` pass-through; acpx engine
tests moved credential fixtures to `authToken` and assert config
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` is ignored while other `PAPERCLIP_*` config keys
forward and still bust the session fingerprint on rotation.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts` — 127 passed
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-project-env.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-local-environment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/claude-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/codex-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/cursor-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/gemini-local-execute.test.ts` — 68 passed
- Adapter package execute suites and the server tests touching API-key
fixtures (`heartbeat-run-log`, `redaction`,
`effective-run-config-fingerprints`, `agent-permissions-routes`) —
green. Three pre-existing sandbox/SSH fixture failures reproduce
identically on clean `master` on this host and are unrelated.
- `pnpm --filter <pkg> typecheck` for server, adapter-utils, and all
nine touched adapter packages — all pass.
## Risks
- Behavioral change: a deployment that relied on configuring a static
`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` in adapter config env loses that override — by
design; the harness-minted run token is now the only source. When no run
token exists, no API key is injected at all.
- `PAPERCLIP_*`-named user bindings now reach binding resolution and run
envs; a key that collides with a harness runtime var is still discarded
at merge time, so runtime identity/wake/workspace vars cannot be
spoofed.
- Low risk otherwise: no migrations, no API surface changes.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic Claude 5 family,

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to organize,
govern, and understand AI-agent work
> - Operators need concise, current status views across projects and
execution workspaces without manually reading every issue and run
> - Paperclip already has auditable issues, documents, built-in agents,
routines, and live run events, but no first-class summary-slot workflow
connecting those systems
> - A built-in Summarizer can generate status prose through ordinary
governed tasks while summary slots provide stable, revisioned
destinations for that output
> - The UI needs to show current summaries, generation progress,
failures, revisions, and streaming draft status in the places operators
already work
> - This pull request adds the end-to-end summary-slot data, API, agent,
orchestration, and UI surfaces behind an experimental setting
> - The benefit is decision-oriented status context that remains
company-scoped, auditable, retryable, and inexpensive by default
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this feature.
**Problem**
Operators currently have to reconstruct project and workspace status by
reading many issues, runs, and comments. This makes it hard to identify
decisions, review queues, recent work, and the next event worth
watching.
**Proposed capability**
Add an experimental summary system with revisioned summary slots for
projects and workspaces, a paused-by-default built-in Summarizer agent,
governed generation tasks, live draft status, and reusable UI cards.
**Expected behavior**
- Summary data remains company-scoped and revisions remain auditable.
- Generation runs through normal issue/agent orchestration and
deduplicates active requests.
- Only the linked built-in Summarizer generation task can author a slot
revision.
- Operators can generate, retry, inspect revisions, and follow draft
progress from project and workspace views.
- The feature remains opt-in and background generation remains paused by
default.
## What Changed
- Added summary-slot schema, idempotent migrations, shared contracts,
validators, API paths, and service tests.
- Added company-scoped summary-slot routes for reading revisions,
requesting generation, and guarded Summarizer writes with activity
logging.
- Added terminal generation finalization, failure reasons, assignment
wakeups, and orchestration integration.
- Added the paused-by-default built-in Summarizer bundle, low-cost
runtime defaults, status-summarization skill, and stale-summary routine.
- Added summary cards, revision selection, retry/configuration states,
live draft streaming, transcript chunk handling, and project/workspace
integrations.
- Updated Claude local parsing for streamed status output and expanded
server, adapter, shared, database, catalog, and UI coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/summary-slots-schema.test.ts
packages/shared/src/summary-slot.test.ts

ui/src/lib/summary-draft-stream.test.ts
ui/src/lib/run-log-chunks.test.ts
ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.hook.test.tsx` — 113 tests passed
- `pnpm test:run` — server and UI suites passed; one CLI AWS doctor test
was affected by inherited `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`,
and passed when those host credentials were removed
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` with
inherited AWS credential variables removed — 8 tests passed
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates` currently reports nine `#9627` comment
references introduced by current `master`; none are in this PR diff
## Risks
- Database risk is limited by incrementally ordered, idempotent
migrations and migration safety checks.
- Summary generation creates normal issues/runs, so misconfiguration can
produce failed slots; the UI exposes retryable failure reasons and agent
configuration entry points.
- Streaming draft parsing depends on the documented `STATUS:` protocol;
final persisted revisions remain the source of truth.
- The feature is experimental, opt-in, and its built-in routine is
paused with no background token spend by default.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent companies and their work.
> - Its recovery subsystem detects stranded issue execution and decides
whether to retry, escalate, or request operator intervention.
> - The existing recovery path used a mostly generic owner ladder and
generic execution contract, so transient failures could wake a manager
who then performed the deliverable instead of repairing and returning
the task.
> - Provider quota failures also entered the same takeover path even
when the correct action was to wait for capacity and retry the original
assignee.
> - Recovery actions already retain the source owner and evidence needed
to choose a cause-specific route, render a scoped contract, and measure
whether work was handed back.
> - This pull request adds a cause-keyed recovery playbook, propagates
its contract through every built-in adapter, and makes resolved recovery
actions return work to the original owner by default.
> - The benefit is bounded self-recovery that preserves task ownership,
avoids needless management takeover, and makes recovery outcomes
observable.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public GitHub issue was found.
Related recovery work was reviewed but is not duplicated here: #9630
restores bounded recovery continuations, #8807 changes one
assignee-ranking case, and #9404 records runtime-failure transition
evidence. This change instead introduces cause-specific routing and
recovery contracts across the recovery lifecycle.
### What happened?
When an issue became stranded, recovery generally selected an owner
through the same fallback ladder and rendered the normal execution
contract. That made the recovery wake look like ordinary deliverable
work, even when the correct action was to retry the original agent,
repair its runtime, or wait for a provider quota reset.
### Expected behavior
Recovery should select a response by failure cause, tell the recipient
to recover rather than complete the deliverable, suppress takeover wakes
for provider quota waits, and return repaired work to its original
assignee unless the recovery owner explicitly completes it.
### Actual behavior
Recovery could escalate transient failures to management, omit the
cause-specific next action from the wake, and leave the recovery owner
assigned after the runtime problem was resolved.
### Impact
The generic path creates avoidable management work, ownership churn, and
budget consumption while obscuring whether recovery successfully
returned work to the responsible agent.
## What Changed
- Added cause-keyed routing for process loss, missing disposition,
provider quota limits, Codex output inactivity, workspace validation
failures, and fallback recovery causes.
- Added recovery-scoped wake rendering that replaces the generic
execution contract with the failure summary, original assignee, attempt
count, next action, and cause-specific playbook instruction.
- Propagated the structured recovery contract through all built-in
adapter execution paths, including Hermes local and gateway adapters.
- Added provider-quota wait monitoring so capacity failures schedule the
original assignee instead of enqueueing a takeover wake.
- Added hand-back behavior and `handed_back` / `owner_completed` outcome
accounting when recovery actions are resolved.
- Added focused routing, renderer, quota-monitor, and hand-back
regression coverage plus implementation-spec documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-recovery-actions.test.ts`
- 4 test files passed; 194 tests passed.
- Targeted `pnpm --filter ... typecheck` across
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils`, `@paperclipai/shared`,
`@paperclipai/server`, `@paperclipai/ui`, and all nine changed adapter
packages.
- 13 affected workspace packages passed typecheck.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- All UI token gates passed.
## Risks
- Recovery routing behavior changes for stranded work, so an incorrectly
classified cause could select a different recipient than before;
fallback causes retain the existing management ladder.
- Provider quota detection depends on structured failure evidence and
conservative text matching; unmatched failures continue through fallback
recovery.
- Adapter prompt plumbing changes across built-ins, covered by shared
renderer tests and compile-time call signatures.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Governed MCP access spans contracts, runtime enforcement, adapters,
UI surfaces, and operator verification
> - The parity reference PR #9534 is too large for effective automated
or human review
> - The feature therefore needs a linear stack whose individual diffs
stay below the 100-file review limit
> - This pull request is split 4/8 and focuses on gateway runtime, Smoke
Lab, plugins, and server wiring
> - The benefit is a standalone, testable review boundary while
preserving byte-for-byte parity at the top of the stack
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Related parity reference: #9534
- Problem: The policy core needs runtime execution, endpoint guards,
route registration, heartbeat integration, and adapter MCP injection to
become operational.
- Proposed solution: Adds the remaining server routes/wiring/consumers,
runtime tests, adapter-utils MCP contracts, and Claude/Codex injection
implementations required by the server layer.
- Alternatives considered: keeping #9534 as one 403-file review, or
rewriting the feature to manufacture seams; both were rejected in favor
of path extraction plus compile-driven boundary moves.
- Roadmap alignment: this advances the existing governed MCP/tool-access
work already represented by #9534; it does not introduce a separate
roadmap initiative.
- Stack position: base branch is `pap10341-split/03-server-tool-access`.
- Merge policy: merge bottom-up, in order, only after the complete
eight-PR stack has been reviewed and the top-of-stack parity gate
remains empty.
- Requested review: SecurityEngineer for gateway, endpoint guard, token
issuance, and runtime wiring; Greptile on every PR.
## What Changed
- Adds the remaining server routes/wiring/consumers, runtime tests,
adapter-utils MCP contracts, and Claude/Codex injection implementations
required by the server layer.
- Keeps this PR below 100 changed files and independently typecheckable.
- Preserves the final tree from #9534 when combined with the other seven
stack levels.
## Verification
- `pnpm typecheck`
- Changed server test set — 26 files, 382 tests passed
- Affected server adapter tests — 38 tests passed after concrete adapter
boundary move
- Adapter-utils and Codex focused tests — 76 tests passed
## Risks
- Remote endpoint validation, token handling, and runtime supervision
are security-sensitive and can fail closed or deny legitimate access if
misconfigured.
- Stack risk: merging out of order can expose incomplete layers;
mitigate by following the documented bottom-up merge policy.
- Parity risk: later edits to an intermediate branch can drift from
#9534; mitigate by re-running the empty top-of-stack diff before merge.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### What happened?
`codex_local` and `claude_local` processes could read arbitrary host
paths and make unrestricted outbound network requests because Paperclip
did not impose a spawn-level boundary.
### Expected behavior
Operators can opt into a workspace-only filesystem view and either deny
network egress or allow exact provider/API hosts, independently of CLI
approval flags.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run current `master` on Linux and configure a Codex or Claude local
adapter.
2. Ask the agent to read a canary file outside its active workspace.
3. Ask the agent to `curl` a public host.
4. Observe that both operations succeed without a Paperclip-level
confinement option.
### Environment
- Paperclip commit: `c36f1a4af` / current `master` base.
- Deployment mode: Linux local dev or self-hosted server.
- Installation: built from source.
- Adapters: Codex and Claude Code.
- Database: not related.
## What Changed
- Added a shared Bubblewrap process wrapper with opt-in
`filesystemScope: "workspace"`, managed/extra path mounts, private
`/tmp`, and Linux-only validation.
- Added `networkScope: "deny" | "allowlist"`; both use a private network
namespace, while allowlist mode exposes an exact-host HTTP(S) proxy over
a Unix-socket bridge.
- Wired Codex and Claude local CLI execution through the wrapper and
forced scoped auto runs onto the CLI lane because ACP processes are not
covered.
- Added unit and gated Bubblewrap canaries for outside-file denial,
workspace writes, direct network denial, allowlisted forwarding, and
rejected destinations.
- Documented both scopes, provider allowlist examples, Bubblewrap
requirements, and default-off behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/local-process-sandbox.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` — 34 passed, 4
gated Bubblewrap tests skipped by default.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils build`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local build`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local build`
- Attempted the gated tests with a vendored Bubblewrap binary; this
container blocks unprivileged namespace setup (`setting up uid map:
Permission denied` / loopback `RTM_NEWADDR: Operation not permitted`),
so kernel-level execution remains for CI or a namespace-enabled Linux
host.
## Risks
- Bubblewrap must be installed and unprivileged user/mount/network
namespaces must be enabled on the host; scoped runs fail clearly if the
prerequisite is missing.
- Allowlist mode depends on the coding CLI honoring standard
`HTTP_PROXY` / `HTTPS_PROXY` variables; custom providers must list every
required exact hostname and port.
- Exact-host allowlists intentionally reject wildcards, which is safer
but may require operators to enumerate multi-host provider setups.
- No behavior changes unless an operator enables `filesystemScope` or
`networkScope`.
> This aligns with the ROADMAP direction toward safer remote and
sandboxed agent environments and does not duplicate an open PR or issue
found in the repository search.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5.5 (`gpt-5.5`) via Codex CLI, with reasoning, repository
tool use, shell execution, code editing, and test execution. The serving
context-window size is not exposed to the agent.

## Thinking Path

AI-agent companies
> - Budgets and spend telemetry are control-plane safety features, not
just reporting
> - Local Codex and Claude adapters can execute through either ACP or
their native CLI engines
> - The ACP lane records usage and reported cost, but CLI JSON output
often reports tokens without a price
> - The CLI lane was either losing per-run usage semantics or coercing
missing cost to zero, making real usage indistinguishable from a
genuinely free run

token-bearing runs without a reported price as explicitly unpriced
ledger events
> - The benefit is accurate usage accounting and a visible pricing gap
instead of silently misleading zero-cost telemetry
## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Bug description**
A `codex_local` run using the CLI engine can emit a final
`turn.completed` event with millions of input tokens and tens of
thousands of output tokens while the agent's spend ledger remains
indistinguishable from a true zero-usage, zero-cost run. Claude CLI
output has the same missing-price edge case.
**Expected behavior**
Token-bearing CLI runs should persist their usage. If the adapter
reports a price, the ledger should record it as reported; if the CLI
reports usage but no price, the ledger should explicitly mark the event
as unpriced rather than silently treating missing price data as a
reported `$0` cost.
**Reproduction shape**
1. Configure `codex_local` with `engine: cli`.
2. Run a task that produces a `turn.completed` usage payload.
3. Observe token usage in the run stream.
4. Before this change, missing price data is represented as ordinary
zero-cost spend and the CLI usage basis is not consistently propagated.
## What Changed
- Mark Codex and Claude native CLI usage totals as `per_run` and
propagate that basis through success and failure results.
- Stop coercing missing Claude CLI cost to `0`.
- Add `cost_status` to cost events with `reported` and `unpriced`
values, including an idempotent migration and shared validation/types.
- Persist token-bearing runs without a reported price as `unpriced`
ledger events while retaining zero cents until an authoritative price
exists.
- Add parser, execute-path, heartbeat-accounting, and cost-service
regression coverage for both local CLI adapters.
- Document the cost-status invariant and CLI accounting behavior.
## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
## Risks
- Existing cost rows default to `reported`, preserving current
interpretation; only new token-bearing events with absent cost are
marked `unpriced`.
- This change does not invent model pricing. Budget hard stops still
cannot charge an unknown amount, but operators and evals can now
distinguish missing pricing from a genuinely reported zero cost.
- Consumers that enumerate cost-event fields should tolerate the
additive `costStatus` field.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for running and governing
AI-agent companies.
> - Adapter executions feed token usage, billing identity, and run cost
into the control plane's spend telemetry.
> - The default ACP execution lane for local Claude and Codex adapters
did not propagate per-turn usage or cost, so paid runs could be recorded
with zero spend and no tokens.
> - Claude CLI result events could also undercount output tokens by
reading only the main-loop usage block instead of the complete per-model
ledger.
> - The shared executor needs to distinguish per-run usage from
session-cumulative usage so the server does not apply the wrong delta
heuristic.
> - This pull request captures ACP usage and cumulative-cost deltas,
resolves adapter billing identity, uses Claude's complete model-usage
ledger, and preserves per-run usage in server normalization.
> - The benefit is accurate token and cost accounting across the default
paid Claude and Codex execution paths.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
### What happened?
Paid `claude_local` and `codex_local` runs using the default ACP engine
can complete successfully while the control plane records zero or null
cost and missing token usage. Claude CLI result parsing can additionally
undercount output tokens when subagent or sidechain usage is present.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run a paid Claude or Codex local adapter through the ACP engine.
2. Complete a turn that reports usage and cumulative cost through ACP
status/events.
3. Inspect the execution result and normalized run telemetry.
### Expected behavior
The execution result contains per-turn token usage, a per-run USD cost
delta, and the correct billing identity. Server normalization records
those per-run values without applying a session-cumulative delta a
second time.
### Actual behavior before this change
ACP execution results returned no usage and `costUsd: null` with unknown
billing. The server therefore recorded zero spend and no tokens for paid
runs. Claude CLI parsing could use an incomplete usage block.
## What Changed
- Capture ACP usage from runtime status and `usage_update` events,
reporting it as `usageBasis: per_run`.
- Convert agent-reported cumulative ACP cost into a per-turn delta,
including counter-reset and no-report safeguards.
- Add a shared billing-identity resolver and map Claude and Codex
authentication/provider modes to control-plane billing types.
- Prefer Claude result-event `modelUsage` totals so subagent and
sidechain tokens are included.
- Skip the server's session-cumulative usage delta when an adapter
explicitly reports per-run usage.
- Add regression coverage for usage capture, event fallback, cost
resets, stale reports, billing identities, model-usage totals, and
server spend normalization.
## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- A broader Claude-local suite has a pre-existing rate-limit
classification failure in `test.probe.test.ts`; it also fails on clean
`master` and is unrelated to this change.
## Risks
- Cost reporting depends on the agent's cumulative counter semantics;
reset handling falls back to the post-turn amount and is covered by
regression tests.
- Incorrect billing-mode inference could misclassify spend;
provider/auth mappings mirror each adapter's existing CLI behavior and
have focused tests.
- The new `usageBasis` contract changes server normalization only when
adapters explicitly opt into `per_run`; existing adapters retain prior
behavior.
- No database migration, workflow, lockfile, or UI changes are included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters (Claude, Codex, Gemini) default to the ACP engine
lane, which needs a live bidirectional stdio session with the agent
process
> - Sandbox execution targets only exposed one-shot command execution,
so every ACP-capable adapter refused remote targets and fell back to the
CLI lane with a "supports only the local Paperclip host" warning
> - Running agents in sandboxes is a core deployment mode, and losing
ACP there means losing streaming updates, structured events, and
default-lane parity with local runs
> - This pull request adds a provider-agnostic process-session bridge
that relays the ACP stdio session into the sandbox over the existing
sandbox runner contract, and updates the adapters to use it
> - The benefit is that the default ACP lane now behaves the same on the
local host and in any sandbox provider, with CLI fallback reserved for
targets that genuinely cannot host a bidirectional session
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing public issue covers this; inline description following the
feature request template:
**Problem or motivation**
Configuring an ACP-capable adapter (e.g. Claude) with a sandbox
environment made every run fall back to the CLI lane with the warning
"Claude ACP currently supports only the local Paperclip host, but this
run targets a remote environment." The ACP engine only knew how to spawn
a local subprocess, while sandbox providers only expose one-shot command
execution — so there was no way to hold the bidirectional stdio session
ACP requires.
**Proposed solution**
Add a process-session bridge in `adapter-utils`: a local ACPX-spawnable
proxy script connects to a token-authenticated loopback TCP server,
which relays JSON-framed stdin/stdout/stderr events to and from a small
relay script executed inside the sandbox via the provider's ordinary
runner. Claude/Codex/Gemini adapters now treat sandbox targets with a
runner as ACP-capable, resolve agent commands against the remote target,
and fall back to CLI only when the sandbox exposes no bidirectional
path. The sandbox callback bridge injects a run-scoped API endpoint and
bridge token so the agent inside the sandbox can reach Paperclip
(including work-product handoffs) without ever receiving the host run
JWT.
**Alternatives considered**
A provider-specific lane was prototyped first: Daytona minting SSH
access metadata at lease time, converted into an SSH execution target.
It was dropped because it only worked for providers able to advertise
SSH, added per-provider surface area, and left every other sandbox
provider on the CLI fallback. The merged design rides the one-shot
runner contract all providers already implement; a regression test pins
that sandbox targets stay on the bridge lane even when lease metadata
advertises SSH access.
**Roadmap alignment**
Directly advances the "Cloud / Sandbox agents" roadmap item — agents
running in remote and sandboxed environments keep the same control-plane
behavior as local ones. No overlap with other planned core work.
## What Changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target.ts`: new
`startAdapterExecutionTargetProcessSessionBridge()` plus helpers —
writes a token-authenticated local proxy script (spawnable by ACPX) and
a remote relay script synced into the sandbox, with a loopback TCP
server streaming JSON-framed stdio between them; events emitted before
the ACP client attaches are buffered so none are lost.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`: the ACP engine
can execute against remote sandbox targets through the bridge instead of
requiring a local subprocess, including remote cwd/env shaping.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.ts`:
sandbox-scoped API bridging extended to allow work-product handoffs; the
sandbox payload env carries a bridge token, never the host run JWT.
- `packages/adapters/claude-local`, `codex-local`, `gemini-local`
(`src/server/acp.ts`): default-lane selection no longer rejects all
remote targets; command resolution is remote-aware
(`ensureAdapterExecutionTargetCommandResolvable`,
`resolveAdapterExecutionTargetCwd`); the fallback reason is now scoped
to sandboxes that expose only one-shot execution.
- `server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`: pins that
sandbox targets resolve to the bridge lane, including when lease
metadata advertises SSH access.
- Non-sandbox remote targets (e.g. SSH) keep the CLI lane: the ACP
engine's remote transport is sandbox-only, so default-lane selection
falls back for those targets across all three adapters, and tests
covering CLI-specific remote behavior pin `engine: "cli"` explicitly.
- The bridge authenticates loopback connections before they can own the
session or receive buffered output (token required, idle unauthenticated
peers dropped), and remote event writes are serialized so the exit event
always lands after stdout/stderr have drained.
- Daytona plugin: formatting-only residue from the earlier iteration; no
functional change.
## Verification
- `vitest run` over the touched suites —
`packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts`, the three
adapter `acp.test.ts` files, and
`server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts` — 102 tests
pass.
- End to end: with a Claude agent configured on a Daytona sandbox
environment, the primary-model test now selects the default ACP lane (no
fallback warning), and the full round trip (wake → sandbox execution →
API bridge → comment post) was exercised twice from inside a live
sandbox.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: adapters that previously always fell back to CLI on
sandbox targets now default to ACP there; `engine=cli` still pins the
CLI lane explicitly.
- The bridge relays stdio as JSON lines over loopback TCP guarded by a
per-session random token; the remote relay runs inside the sandbox under
the provider's runner. Providers with slow one-shot execution will see
higher session startup latency — the CLI fallback remains for genuinely
incapable targets.
- No schema or migration changes.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) — extended thinking
enabled, agentic tool use via the Claude Agent SDK harness;
implementation iterated with local Vitest verification.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat/recovery subsystem decides whether an agent run has a
durable continuation path after the process stops.
> - External waits need stricter semantics than local background
watchers: a killed local process is not durable, while a first-class
blocker/monitor/scheduled wake is.
> - Without that distinction, recovery can repeatedly treat
adapter-failed continuations as live work and obscure the real reason a
task stopped.
> - This pull request adds explicit durable external-wait liveness
handling and documents the expected execution semantics.
> - It also improves operator-visible recovery evidence so invalid
external-wait paths explain why they were rejected.
> - The benefit is clearer recovery behavior, fewer duplicate
continuation recoveries, and a safer contract for monitor-backed
external waits.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #5978
- Related PRs: #4988, #7495, #8502
## What Changed
- Added durable external-wait liveness classification so
local/background watchers are not accepted as durable live paths after
the owning process exits.
- Preserved first-class blocker/monitor/scheduled wake paths as valid
external-wait continuations.
- Added backend regression coverage for killed watcher failure,
monitor-backed durable wait resumption, normal completion, blocker
behavior, and no duplicate recovery.
- Added adapter utility coverage for terminal cleanup behavior used by
local process adapters.
- Surfaced invalid external-wait recovery evidence in the recovery
action card and run ledger.
- Updated execution semantics documentation and the V1 implementation
contract.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --group
general-server` equivalent lane passed in CI-clean env: 238 files, 2164
tests passed, 1 skipped.
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --group
general-workspaces-a` passed in fully Paperclip-env-clean env: UI 305
files / 2430 tests; CLI 43 files / 230 tests.
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --group
general-workspaces-b` passed in fully Paperclip-env-clean env:
shared/db/adapters/plugin packages all green.
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode serialized` passed in fully
Paperclip-env-clean env: 107 serialized server suites green, including
84/84 heartbeat-process-recovery tests.
- `pnpm build` passed in fully Paperclip-env-clean env.
Notes: running `pnpm test:run` directly inside the Paperclip heartbeat
environment exposed local harness env contamination in existing tests
(`PAPERCLIP_CONFIG`, `PAPERCLIP_DB_BACKUP_DIR`, and
`PAPERCLIP_WORKTREE_START_POINT`). Re-running the same lanes with
inherited `PAPERCLIP_*` and port env removed produced the CI-equivalent
green results above.
## Risks
- Medium behavioral risk: this changes recovery classification for
stopped local external-wait processes, so adapters relying on unmanaged
background watchers must use blockers, monitors, scheduled wakes, or
explicit durable handoff instead.
- Low UI risk: recovery-card copy changes are covered by component tests
and Storybook screenshot QA.
- No database migration is included.

> - 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.

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 is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run in heartbeat runs orchestrated by the server; run
lifecycle, retry scheduling, and the dashboard's run-activity metrics
are the subsystems involved
> - A spike in "failed" tasks traced to three causes: server restarts
killing in-flight runs and mislabeling them as failures, deterministic
workspace-validation loops when a worktree's branch diverged, and
provider quota/usage-limit errors being classified as generic transient
failures (putting agents into error state and polluting metrics)
> - Killed-then-recovered runs and quota waits are not product failures,
so both the runtime behavior and the reporting needed to distinguish
them
> - This pull request drains runs gracefully on shutdown with idempotent
restart retries, self-heals workspace branch mismatches, adds a
quota-aware failure class with reset-time retry, separates recovered
restart kills from true failures on the dashboard, and documents restart
hygiene for operators
> - The benefit is fewer spurious failures, automatic recovery instead
of manual repair, and dashboard metrics that reflect real failure rates
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists; describing the bug inline per the
bug-report template:
**What happened?**
In-flight heartbeat runs are marked `failed` when the server restarts,
even though a retry later succeeds. Worktrees whose checked-out branch
diverges from the issue branch fail workspace validation on every
subsequent run with no recovery path. Provider quota/usage-limit
responses are treated as generic transient upstream errors, putting
agents into an error state and retrying before the quota window resets.
The dashboard counts all of these as true failures, inflating failure
metrics.
**Expected behavior**
Graceful shutdown should interrupt (not fail) running runs and chain
exactly one recovery retry. Workspace validation should repair
recoverable branch mismatches automatically. Quota errors should get
their own error class with the retry scheduled at the provider reset
time and the agent left idle. The dashboard should report recovered
restart kills separately from true failures.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a heartbeat run, then restart the server (SIGTERM) while it is
in flight — the run lands as `failed` with a process-loss error code
even when its retry succeeds
2. Check out an issue whose worktree branch has diverged (e.g. after a
force-moved branch) — every subsequent run fails
`workspace_validation_failed` deterministically
3. Drive an agent into a provider usage-limit window — the run fails as
a generic transient upstream error and the agent enters an error state
instead of idling until the reset time
**Paperclip version or commit**
master (base c07e650cd)
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted dev plane (Linux, node server + embedded Postgres)
## What Changed
- Graceful shutdown (SIGTERM hook) now marks in-flight runs
`interrupted` instead of `failed` and enqueues an idempotent
process-loss retry (pre-insert existence check on `retryOfRunId`
prevents duplicates; bursts chain exactly one retry per interrupted run)
- Run-liveness classification routes `interrupted` to `needs_followup`
rather than `failed`
- Workspace validation self-heals branch mismatch / missing-branch
states instead of failing deterministically on every run
- New `provider_quota` error class: session/usage-limit responses
schedule the retry at the provider reset time and leave the agent idle
(not errored); fixes a case where a quota-terminated run with subtype
`success` was misclassified as failed; HTTP 529 remains transient
- Dashboard run-activity query separates recovered restart kills from
true failures via a recursive CTE over `retry_of_run_id` (ancestors of a
succeeded retry count as recovered), adds a per-day failed-by-error-code
breakdown, and binds the window start as a timestamptz string
- Activity charts UI: amber "Recovered" segment with legend and per-day
error-code tooltip; success-rate chart counts recovered runs as
successes
- New ops runbook: `docs/deploy/dev-plane-restart-hygiene.md`
## Verification
- Greptile follow-up fixes on `992705edd`: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts` (209
tests); `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`; `git diff
--check`
- Post-rebase CI fixes: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts`; `pnpm exec
vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` (227 tests);
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `npm test` server suites covering the changes:
`heartbeat-process-recovery`, `heartbeat-stop-metadata`,
`heartbeat-retry-scheduling` (95 tests), quota parse +
execute/retry-scheduling suites (100 tests), workspace self-heal suites
(200 tests), dashboard run-activity tests (3 tests) — all green,
typecheck exit 0
- Dashboard CTE cross-checked against a real development database: two
restart-burst days moved from 17 to 8 and 19 to 6 true failures once
recovered kills were separated, matching manual retry-chain inspection
- Screenshot verification of the real ActivityCharts component
(recovered segment + tooltip) during QA
## Risks
- Behavioral shift: runs killed by a restart no longer surface as
`failed`; anyone consuming raw run statuses will see `interrupted` (new
status value) — dashboards/queries in this repo were updated accordingly
- Retry chaining on repeated restarts is bounded (one chained retry per
interruption) but a pathological restart loop still delays work rather
than failing it; the runbook covers operator hygiene for that case
- Dashboard query adds a recursive CTE; cost is bounded by the
day-window row count and was verified against production-sized data
- No schema migrations; low migration risk
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic) — claude-fable-5 via Claude Code / Paperclip agent
harness, extended thinking with tool use; implementation commits also
produced with Codex CLI (GPT-5 class) agents under the same harness

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A core part of that experience is watching active agent runs without
dropping into raw logs first
> - Local and sandbox-backed adapters already record useful run output,
progress, and tool activity
> - But active issue threads could sit visually stale while the agent
was syncing workspaces, tailing sandbox output, or emitting incremental
tool-call updates
> - Operators need timely, human-readable progress while preserving the
raw transcript underneath
> - This pull request streams sandbox run-log progress into runtime
status, keeps visible issue threads refreshed, and folds repeated ACPX
tool updates into stable transcript cards
> - The benefit is that long-running agent work becomes easier to
supervise without changing the task/comment control-plane model
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this exact change.
Problem/motivation:
- During long-running sandboxed agent work, the issue UI can appear idle
even though the agent is actively syncing, running tools, or producing
incremental output.
- Operators need realtime feedback at the issue-thread layer, not only
after opening raw logs or waiting for the final heartbeat result.
- Related public context: #1808 previously added live-run status dots to
Projects; #4362 touches heartbeat wakeup behavior but is not a duplicate
of this runtime/UI feedback change.
## What Changed
- Added sandbox run-log streaming support and defaulted sandbox-capable
local adapters into the richer live-feedback path.
- Surfaced environment/sandbox sync progress through heartbeat runtime
status with bounded, redacted snippets.
- Added live issue-thread cache patching so visible active runs update
as progress events arrive.
- Folded repeated ACPX `tool_call` updates into one transcript card
instead of stacking duplicate cards.
- Updated adapter docs and added focused regression coverage for sandbox
log streaming, runtime status, ACPX parsing, live updates, transcript
rendering, and issue chat messages.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run

- GitHub PR workflow on head `8397953e7b41ccd42e5d9457ee7e4dfb996e4ec5`:
`verify`, build, typecheck/release-registry, e2e, general shards,
serialized server shards, and canary dry run passed.
- Greptile Review on head `8397953e7b41ccd42e5d9457ee7e4dfb996e4ec5`:
Confidence Score 5/5, no unresolved review threads.
## Risks
- Live issue-thread cache patching could miss an edge case for a route
shape not covered by tests.
- Surfacing active-run snippets needs continued care around redaction;
this PR keeps snippets bounded and adds redaction-focused coverage.
- More frequent active-run UI refreshes could expose performance issues
on very large issue threads, though updates are scoped to visible
run/query caches.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex, operating as a tool-enabled coding agent with
shell, git, and repository-editing capabilities. Context window size is
not exposed in this runtime.
