## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The new runner gives agents dedicated tools for common tasks.
> - Some API operations and parameters have no dedicated tool.
> - Agents need a controlled way to find and use those operations.
> - This pull request adds API search and calls through the real server
routes.
> - Existing tools remain the preferred path. The new tools are disabled
by default.
> - Paired tests measure correctness, tool choice, cost and time.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Paperclip Runner contracts, production tool authority and the server API
catalog.
**Problem or motivation**
The runner cannot use much of the API described by the old Paperclip
skill. A generic HTTP client would also let agents bypass runner control
rules.
**Proposed solution**
Add `search_api` and `call_api`. Resolve calls from the mounted API
catalog. Use server-held, run-bound credentials. Preserve route checks
and runner lifecycle rules. Keep the tools disabled until an operator
enables selected companies.
**Alternatives considered**
A dedicated tool for every endpoint would add a large initial prompt. An
unrestricted HTTP tool would weaken authorization and replay controls.
**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the native runner tooling. The repository owner requested
this design and implementation. The roadmap and related open PRs were
checked. No duplicate API escape-hatch PR was found.
## What Changed
- Register two compact fallback tools in canonical contracts and
provider projections.
- Build deterministic API discovery from OpenAPI, mounted experimental
routes and the old skill reference.
- Execute bounded JSON, text, file and download requests through
authenticated HTTP routes.
- Recheck active runs, company access and work modes. Block runner
lifecycle, scheduling, credential and approval bypasses. Keep routine
annotation collaboration available.
- Retain mutation receipts. Report uncertain outcomes without blindly
repeating writes.
- Add a company rollout gate and a durable eval worker with complete
cost accounting checks.
- Record child-task creation in the activity log with the agent and run.
- Add contract, authorization, file, replay and real runnerd/PRP/HTTP
tests.
- Document rollout gates and paid coverage limits. The companion eval
repository retains immutable attempts and reports.
## Verification
- Final app commit `da58370524c3626a744eec20164397c5fb6ba9ef`: all 32
checks passed; the unrelated Storybook visual check was skipped.
Greptile 5/5; no unresolved review threads.
- Full Linux build and recursive typecheck passed. Repository tests were
run by project and serialized shard; all 143 serialized server suites
passed.
- Runner TypeScript: 1,599 passed, two skipped. Rust release: 451
passing test reports. Conformance and replay parity passed. The required
API check passed 837 tests, including runnerd → PRP → authority → real
HTTP.
- Bindings cannot enable API tools without the explicit deployment flag.
Unit and real-authority tests prove the default-off boundary.
- The standalone API check builds and stages its own binary. It passed
after existing staged and debug binaries were removed from the test
container.
- UI and CLI tests passed. Initial environment failures (missing jq,
Docker overlay file identity, and parallel linker memory pressure) and
focused passing reruns are retained. The macOS full runner suite has
platform-specific failures; Linux is the qualified full-check platform.
- Eval harness: 27 tests passed; existing CI discovery ran 86 tests with
two unrelated skips. Credential export rejection is tested against the
actual report command.
- Luna and OpenRouter Sonnet each passed 60 common-workflow runs: ten
workflows, three repetitions per arm, zero unnecessary API fallback.
- Sonnet passed 11 selected capability/contract cases after fixes.
Gemini passed three smoke cases. DeepSeek exceeded the 120-second limit
and remains unqualified.
- Luna's two cost flags received focused follow-up. The original flags
and a later n=1 latency flag remain visible. Sonnet had no cost or
latency increase above 20%.
- The catalog contains 785 entries; 58 were exercised across all stages.
Most operation probes remain unrun and some need additional fixtures.
Authored probes do not establish successful coverage.
- Total conservative accounted cost: $9.875960. Active paid-campaign
time: 88.16/90 minutes. No missing accounting. Later security and
harness fixes have provider-free verification; no paid validation is
claimed for those revisions.
- Inspect the [qualification
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/codex/seach-call-api-tools/evals/runner-api-tools/reports/2026-09-07-production/READINESS.md)
and [verification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/codex/seach-call-api-tools/evals/runner-api-tools/reports/2026-09-07-production/verification.json).
## Risks
- This is a broad authenticated API surface. Keep the default-off gate
until an operator selects initial rollout companies.
- Paid coverage is incomplete. Small regression samples do not prove all
workflows are unchanged.
- A timeout or server failure can follow a committed mutation. The
result reports an unknown outcome and requires state inspection.
- The new definitions add prompt tokens. The report retains cost flags
and cache variation.
- No database migration is required.
- Repository rules require code-owner approval before merge. Technical
CI and automated review are complete.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6 assisted with code, tests and review. The
exact serving model ID and context window are not exposed in this
session. It used reasoning, tool calls and code execution.
Eval models: `gpt-5.6-luna` with low reasoning,
`openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`,
`openrouter/google/gemini-3.8-flash`, and
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. Attempts retain runtime
versions, model identity, usage and source provenance.

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - 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.

<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The PR verify workflow gates every pull request; its wall-clock time
sets the feedback loop for all contributors
> - In a recent successful PR run (actions run 32012408876), the slowest
check was "Verify serialized server suites (1/5)" at 337s, while its
four sibling shards finished in 212-238s
> - The serialized lane assigns suites to shards round-robin over an
alphabetical list, so the heavy heartbeat and issues suites cluster on
one runner
> - The general-server lane already solves this with a duration-aware
LPT partition backed by a recorded manifest
> - This pull request reuses that partitioner for the serialized lane
with a fresh per-suite duration manifest
> - The benefit is a balanced serialized matrix: the measured 968s suite
total levels to about 194s per shard, which removes about 80-100s from
the run's slowest check
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The `Verify serialized server suites` shard matrix in
`.github/workflows/pr.yml` distributes route/authz test suites across
five runners.
**Subsystem affected**
CI / test infrastructure (`scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`).
**Current behavior**
`selectSerializedSuites` assigns suites round-robin (`index %
shardCount`) over the alphabetically sorted file list. The heavy suites
cluster on shard 1/5. In actions run 32012408876, shard 1/5 spent 291s
in its test step while the other shards spent 170-201s, which made that
job (337s total) the slowest check of the whole PR run.
**Proposed behavior**
Partition the serialized suites with the same duration-aware LPT
algorithm the general-server lane already uses
(`scripts/general-server-shard.mjs`), backed by a new per-suite duration
manifest. All five shards then carry about 194s of measured test time.
**Reason and benefit**
The slowest check bounds PR feedback time. Balancing the serialized
matrix removes about 80-100s from that bound without adding runners.
**Breaking changes**
None. The partition remains deterministic, complete, and
non-overlapping; suites missing from the manifest get the median weight.
## What Changed
- Added `scripts/serialized-shard-durations.json`: per-suite wall-clock
durations (ms) for all 134 serialized suites, sampled from actions run
32012408876 by diffing consecutive per-suite label timestamps in the
shard logs (captures vitest spawn overhead, not just reported test time)
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`: `selectSerializedSuites` now uses the
existing LPT partitioner (`selectGeneralServerShard`) with the new
manifest instead of round-robin
- `scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs`: added a
manifest-freshness test and a shard-balance test for the serialized
lane, mirroring the general-server ones
- `.github/workflows/pr.yml`: updated the serialized matrix comment with
the new measurement and mechanism
## Verification
- `node --test ./scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs`
passes (13 tests), including the existing test that the serialized
shards form a complete, non-overlapping partition
- Dry-run of all five shards shows estimated totals of
194/194/194/194/193s (round-robin was 276/175/160/172/187s):
`node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode serialized --shard-index N
--shard-count 5 --dry-run`
- The `Verify serialized server suites` jobs on this PR run the real
partition end to end
## Risks
- Low risk. Selection logic only; the vitest invocation per suite is
unchanged
- A stale manifest degrades gracefully: unknown suites get the median
weight, and a dedicated test fails if fewer than half the current suites
have recorded durations
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic), model ID `claude-fable-5`, agentic coding session
with tool use (Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK); no extended-thinking
mode

Fixes#7623
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Company invites are part of the access subsystem and must produce
URLs that recipients can open from outside the host machine.
> - Paperclip already has public/auth base URL configuration for
deployments behind a public hostname, Tailscale, or a reverse proxy.
> - Invite URL composition was still deriving its origin from the
incoming request host, so loopback-bound servers emitted
`http://127.0.0.1:3100/invite/...`.
> - A loopback invite URL is not shareable with a remote human or agent,
even when the token itself is valid.
> - This pull request makes invite URL builders prefer the configured
public base URL and keep the existing request-host fallback when it is
unset.
> - The benefit is that copied invite links use the reachable deployment
origin without changing local-only behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes#7623
No duplicate or related PRs/issues were found in a GitHub search for
invite URL, loopback, public base URL, and `authPublicBaseUrl` terms.
## What Changed
- Added base URL resolution in `server/src/routes/access.ts` that strips
trailing slashes and prefers configured `authPublicBaseUrl` over the
request-derived host.
- Threaded `authPublicBaseUrl` through invite summary, invite onboarding
manifest, onboarding text, access routes, `createApp`, and server
startup wiring.
- Added `server/src/__tests__/invite-url-public-base-url.test.ts`
covering configured public-base precedence, unset fallback behavior, and
trailing-slash normalization.
- Registered the invite public-base URL test in the serialized Vitest
server runner.
## Verification
```bash
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/invite-url-public-base-url.test.ts
pnpm run test:run:serialized
```
Local results from the rebased PR branch:
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` exited 0.
- Targeted invite URL test exited 0: 1 file, 3 tests passed.
- Serialized server suite exited 0: 106 serialized suites completed; the
new invite URL test passed inside that runner.
Manual check after deployment: set `PAPERCLIP_AUTH_PUBLIC_BASE_URL` or
equivalent public base URL config, create a company invite, and confirm
the returned/copied invite URL uses that public origin instead of
`127.0.0.1`.
## Risks
Low risk. The new public base URL parameter is optional and falls back
to existing request-derived behavior when unset. The main operational
risk is misconfigured public base URL input; the implementation only
trims trailing slashes and otherwise trusts the configured origin.
## Model Used
- Original implementation: Anthropic `claude-sonnet-4-6`, 200k context,
tool use and test execution.
- Conflict repair and verification: OpenAI Codex GPT-5.5, coding agent
with shell, git, GitHub CLI, and local test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The `openclaw-gateway` adapter wakes a remote agent over a WebSocket
gateway. It sends a wake prompt. That prompt tells the agent which
environment variables to set and which file holds its Paperclip API key.
> - Each agent stores its claimed key in its own JSON file. The adapter
already exposes a `claimedApiKeyPath` config field for this. The field
is documented in `src/index.ts`. It also has an input in the agent
settings UI.
> - `buildWakeText` ignored that field. It hardcoded the shared default
path into the wake prompt text.
> - Every agent therefore read the same key file at wake time. Agents
authenticated as the wrong identity. The first API call failed.
> - This pull request passes `ctx.config.claimedApiKeyPath` into
`buildWakeText`. It uses the existing `resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` helper.
That helper falls back to the documented default.
> - The benefit is that each agent reads its own claimed-key file. Each
agent authenticates as itself.

longer hardcodes the path.
- The `execute` call site passes
`resolveClaimedApiKeyPath(ctx.config.claimedApiKeyPath)`. That helper
returns the documented default
`~/.openclaw/workspace/paperclip-claimed-api-key.json` when the agent
sets no override.
- `resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` is now exported so tests can call it.
- `packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway/src/server/execute.test.ts` — adds
`resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` cases: a configured value, an empty string, a
whitespace-only string, `undefined`, `null`, and non-string input.
- `packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway/vitest.config.ts` (new) —
package-level vitest config. It matches the config used by sibling
adapters such as `opencode-local`.
- `vitest.config.ts` (root) — adds the adapter to the workspace project
list.
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs` — adds
`@paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway` to `nonServerProjects`.
**Maintainer-added during rebase.** The CI test lanes do not run a bare
`vitest`. They call `run-vitest-stable.mjs`, which invokes vitest with
an explicit `--project` allowlist. Without this entry the CI lanes skip
this package, and the root project-list entry alone has no effect on CI.
## Verification
Run the package suite directly:
```
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway
```
The suite covers `resolveSessionKey`, `buildAgentParams`, and the new
`resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` cases. The first two already existed in this
file but never executed in CI before this change.
Typecheck the package:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway typecheck
```
Behavioural check, which no automated test covers:
1. Set `claimedApiKeyPath` to a per-agent value such as
`~/.openclaw/workspace/paperclip-keys/<agent>.json` in the agent's
gateway adapter settings.
2. Trigger a wake for that agent.
3. Confirm the rendered wake text names that file. It must not name the
shared default.
Maintainer note: this branch was rebased onto current `master` by a
maintainer. The original branch was two months stale. Only two conflicts
occurred, both additive: the import line and the tail of
`execute.test.ts`, and the project list in the root `vitest.config.ts`.
The `execute.ts` change applied without conflict. CI and Greptile re-run
against the rebased head.
## Risks
- Low for existing deployments. `resolveClaimedApiKeyPath` preserves the
default path exactly. Any agent that never set `claimedApiKeyPath`
receives the same wake text as before.
- The behaviour changes only for agents that already set a per-agent
path. Those agents previously received the wrong instruction. They now
receive the correct one.
- No database, schema, or API surface changes.
- CI now runs this package's test file for the first time. That file
includes the pre-existing `resolveSessionKey` and `buildAgentParams`
tests, which were never executed before.
- Five other adapters (`cursor-cloud`, `cursor-local`, `gemini-local`,
`grok-local`, `pi-local`) sit in the root project list but remain absent
from the CI allowlist. This pull request does not change them. That gap
is tracked separately.
## Model Used
- Contributor's change: Anthropic Claude, model ID `claude-opus-4-7`,
approximately 200K context, extended thinking. Used for triage, patch
authoring, and the original description.
- Rebase, the `run-vitest-stable.mjs` entry, and this description:
Anthropic Claude, model ID `claude-opus-5`, tool use enabled. Run by a
Paperclip maintainer.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - 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).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its PR CI runs the general-server vitest lane pinned to
`maxWorkers=1` and sharded across 3 runners (introduced in #8360)
> - Suites were assigned to shards round-robin by sorted file index, so
shard test time was unbalanced: a recent PR run split 73s / 153s / 115s,
and the heaviest shard made "General tests (server 2/3)" the slowest
check in the whole workflow at 314s wall
> - The slowest shard sets the lane's wall time, so unbalanced
partitions waste the other two runners and stretch the PR critical path
> - This pull request replaces the round-robin assignment with a
deterministic longest-processing-time partition weighted by a checked-in
per-suite duration manifest
> - The benefit is near-even shard weights (projected 113s / 113s / 113s
with the current manifest), taking roughly 40s off the PR critical path
with no reduction in coverage
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #8360 (introduced the 3-way general-server sharding this PR
rebalances)
- No public issue exists. Problem: the general-server test lane's
round-robin shard assignment ignores per-suite duration, so one shard
can carry multiple 30s+ suites while another finishes in half the time;
the slowest shard alone determines the check's wall time.
## What Changed
- `scripts/general-server-shard.mjs` (new): manifest loader and
deterministic LPT (longest-processing-time) partitioner; suites missing
from the manifest get the median recorded weight, and a missing or
malformed manifest degrades to uniform weights so the lane never fails
on stale data
- `scripts/general-server-shard-durations.json` (new): per-suite
duration manifest sampled from a real PR run (240 suites); the
`$comment` field documents how to regenerate it
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`: both shard-selection sites (run and
`--dry-run`) now use the balanced partition instead of index round-robin
- `scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs`: 6 new tests
covering skew-balance vs round-robin, determinism, median fallback for
unlisted suites, malformed-manifest degradation, manifest coverage of
the current suite set, and real-partition balance
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts`:
hardened the `afterEach` sweep — post-run bookkeeping (run-event
records, follow-up wake scheduling) can still insert rows briefly after
a run reaches a terminal status, and a late insert landing between the
`agent_wakeup_requests` and `agents` deletes failed teardown with a
foreign-key violation on the first CI attempt of this PR; the sweep now
retries so a late background write cannot take down the shard
- `release-verify.yml` shares the same runner script and inherits the
balancing with no workflow change
## Verification
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs` — 9/9
pass (run against current master)
- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts`
— 6/6 pass against embedded Postgres with the hardened teardown
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs` — 2/2
pass
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --dry-run` with each shard flag
shows every suite assigned exactly once across the 3 shards, with
projected weights ~113s each
## Risks
- Low risk: partition changes which runner executes which suite, not
what runs; a completeness test asserts every suite is assigned to
exactly one shard
- The duration manifest will drift as suites are added/changed; unlisted
suites get the median weight and a coverage test flags when the manifest
covers less than half the suite set, so drift degrades balance
gracefully rather than breaking the lane

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Every PR runs the `PR` GitHub Actions workflow, whose `verify` gate
fans out into parallel test lanes (general tests, serialized server
route suites, build, typecheck)
> - The `General tests (server)` lane had grown into the run's critical
path: it executed all ~213 non-route server suites serially in a single
job (~7.2m of test time), more than 2x any other job
> - It runs serially because `server/vitest.config.ts` pins `maxWorkers:
1`, so server suites cannot parallelize within a single runner — the
only lever is spreading them across runners
> - This pull request shards that lane into 3 even partitions that run
on separate runners, mirroring the 4-way sharding already used for the
serialized route suites
> - The benefit is the lane drops from ~7.7m to ~2.4m/shard, cutting
overall PR wall time roughly in half (~8.5m → ~4.2m)
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this work, so the underlying issue is
described inline following the feature-request template.
### Problem or motivation
PR CI wall time had crept back up to ~8.5m. On a recent fully-green run,
the `General tests (server)` job took 7.72m — more than double any other
job and the clear critical path. Of that, 7.23m was pure test execution
(dependency install was a cached 0.27m). The job ran all server suites
that are not route/authz tests (213 files) one after another, because
the server vitest project pins `maxWorkers: 1`, making these suites
inherently serial within a single runner.
### Proposed solution
Shard the general-server lane across 3 parallel runners — the same
technique the route/authz suites already use — so the suite set is split
into even, deterministic partitions that run concurrently. Add a
regression test that proves the shards always cover the full suite set
with no gaps or overlap.
### Alternatives considered
- **Raise `maxWorkers` for the server project** to parallelize within
one runner — rejected: the server suites share process-level state
(DB/port), which is exactly why `maxWorkers: 1` is pinned.
- **Two shards instead of three** — would leave the lane at ~3.6m, still
above the next bottleneck (Canary Dry Run, ~4.1m wouldn't be the gate).
Three lands the lane comfortably below it.
- **Do nothing / accept the slow lane** — rejected: it gates every PR.
### Roadmap alignment
Developer-experience / CI tooling. Not core product roadmap work; does
not overlap with planned features in `ROADMAP.md`.
## What Changed
- `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`: the `general-server` general-test
group now accepts `--shard-index` / `--shard-count`. It enumerates the
full server test set (the whole `server/src` tree, minus the route/authz
suites that already run in their own serialized shards) and splits it
deterministically by modulo. The non-sharded local invocation (`pnpm
test:run:general --group general-server`) is unchanged.
- `.github/workflows/pr.yml`: the `general_tests` matrix runs
`general-server` as 3 parallel shards (1/3, 2/3, 3/3). Workspace groups
are unchanged. The `verify` gate already aggregates the whole matrix
result, so the required check name is unaffected.
- `scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs`: a `node:test`
suite asserting the 3 shards form a complete, non-overlapping partition
of the general-server set, that no route/authz suite leaks into it, and
that shard flags are rejected for the parallel workspace groups. Wired
into the `policy` job.
## Verification
- New partition test passes locally: `node --test
./scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs` (3/3).
- Confirmed the 3 shards form a complete, non-overlapping partition of
all 213 files (71/71/71).
- Ran a live thin shard (3 real server suites, including one outside
`__tests__`) — 23 tests passed, confirming positional-include execution
works end to end.
- This PR's own CI is the authoritative check: all three `General tests
(server (n/3))` jobs went green on the prior run, collectively covering
every suite the old single job ran.
## Risks
- Low risk. No product code changes — only test orchestration and CI
matrix. Shard partitioning is deterministic and is now covered by an
automated test that fails if the partition ever develops a gap or
overlap. Modulo-on-sorted-filenames balances duration reasonably,
matching the approach already proven by the serialized route shards.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Test infrastructure across server, ui, packages/* runs on Vitest
> - Dependabot opened a narrow bump (3.2.4 → 3.2.6), but the wider
workspace is on 3.2.4 and the major-version bridge to v4 needs a
coordinated change set across configs and tests
> - Staying on 3.x indefinitely leaves us behind on Vitest 4 (perf,
pool, and config improvements) and forces repeated patch-only dependabot
churn
> - This pull request upgrades Vitest to 4.1.8 across the workspace,
updates `server/vitest.config.ts` and `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`
for the new API, and adjusts two UI tests for the new assertion
semantics
> - The benefit is a single, coherent Vitest 4 upgrade that supersedes
#7570 and gets us on the supported major line
## What Changed
- Bump `vitest` from `3.2.4` to `4.1.8` across root, `server`, `ui`, and
all `packages/*` (including plugin examples and sandbox providers)
- Update `server/vitest.config.ts` for Vitest 4 config surface
- Update `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs` to match the new runner
behavior
- Adjust `ui/src/components/CommentThread.test.tsx` and
`ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx` for Vitest 4 matcher/timing
semantics
- Refresh `pnpm-lock.yaml`
## Verification
- `pnpm install` resolves cleanly with the new lockfile
- `pnpm -w -r test` (server, ui, packages) runs under Vitest 4.1.8
## Risks
- Major-version Vitest bump: behavioral changes in pools, fake timers,
and matcher strictness can surface flake. Test config and the two UI
tests were updated to match v4 semantics; broader test runs should be
watched on CI before merge.
- Supersedes dependabot PR #7570 (3.2.4 → 3.2.6); that PR should be
closed.

Closes#7570
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies through
company-scoped control-plane workflows.
> - Agents need reusable, inspectable skills that can be installed,
reset, audited, exported, and assigned without bespoke local setup.
> - The existing skill truth model needed cleanup so bundled skills,
optional catalog skills, runtime skills, and adapter-provided skills
have clear provenance.
> - Operators also need a practical CLI and board UI for discovering and
managing company skills.
> - This pull request adds the skills CLI, packaged skills catalog,
company skills APIs, and catalog-aware board UI.
> - The benefit is a more reusable Paperclip company setup where skills
are portable, auditable, and easier for operators and agents to manage.
## What Changed
- Added `paperclipai skills` CLI commands and coverage for catalog
listing, installing, resetting, and inspecting company skills.
- Added a packaged `@paperclipai/skills-catalog` workspace with bundled
and optional skill content plus validation/build tests.
- Added shared company-skill types and validators used across CLI,
server, and UI contracts.
- Added server catalog APIs/services for company skill catalog
operations, reset semantics, audit behavior, and portability provenance.
- Updated adapter skill handling so runtime/catalog provenance remains
explicit across local adapters.
- Added board UI support for browsing and managing catalog-backed
company skills.
- Updated docs for the skills CLI/catalog flow and the company skills
Paperclip skill reference.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master`; no
`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `.github/workflows`, or migration files are included
in the final PR diff.
## Verification
- Passed: `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/skills.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/catalog-builder.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/shipped-catalog.test.ts
packages/shared/src/validators/company-skill.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/plugins/create-paperclip-plugin/src/entrypoints.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-catalog-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts`.
- Passed: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "default
branch|origin/master|symbolic-ref"`.
- Attempted: full `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`. Four
provisioning tests failed while seeding an isolated worktree database
from the local Paperclip instance because the local plugin schema dump
contains a duplicate-column foreign key
(`plugin_content_machine_18a7bc327b.content_case_signals`). The
default-branch tests touched by the rebase conflict passed in the
focused run above.
- Checked final diff: no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no `.github/workflows`, and
no migration-file changes relative to `master`.
## Risks
- Medium: this is a broad skills/catalog change touching CLI, server
APIs, shared contracts, adapter skill sync, and UI.
- Catalog validation and reset semantics need careful reviewer attention
because they affect reusable company setup and portability.
- No database migrations are included in this PR, so there is no
migration ordering/idempotency risk in the final diff.
- No lockfile is included by design; dependency resolution will be
handled by the repository lockfile workflow.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, running in Paperclip via the
`codex_local` adapter with shell, git, GitHub CLI, and code-editing tool
access. Exact hosted model build/context-window metadata is not exposed
in this runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Fresh self-hosted deployments need an operator path before any
invite exists.
> - Umbrel installs are private LAN deployments, so a one-time browser
claim is appropriate only when the deployment is private and unclaimed.
> - Public deployments and installs with active invites must keep the
existing invite-only model so admin creation is not exposed broadly.
> - GitHub PR #2927 established the useful direction, but it needed to
be adapted onto current `master` rather than merged as-is.
> - This pull request adds that adapted private-only claim flow across
server, UI, docs, and regression coverage.
> - The benefit is that a fresh private Umbrel-style install can be
claimed from the browser without weakening public deployment access.
## What Changed
- Added a first-admin claim service and access route support for
one-time admin claim eligibility on private unclaimed deployments.
- Updated the bootstrap/access UI so eligible private installs show a
setup claim path, while public and invited deployments keep invite-first
behavior.
- Added a bootstrap-pending setup UX lab covering claim, invite, public,
and signed-in access states.
- Updated deployment and local development docs for authenticated
private/public behavior and the Umbrel-style claim path.
- Added server and UI regression tests for private claim, public
no-claim, active invite fallback, existing board/no-access flows, and
health exposure reporting.
- Stabilized PR handoff verification by serializing the aggregate server
Vitest workspace run, forcing `NODE_ENV=test`, and relaxing the
heartbeat batching test around legitimate recovery follow-up runs.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm vitest --run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest --run
server/src/__tests__/health-dev-server-token.test.ts`
- `pnpm test:run`
- QA validation: PAP-10115 passed browser validation with screenshots
for private fresh install claim, active invite versus claim conflict,
public invite-only/claim-absent behavior, existing invite fallback, and
normal board/no-access flows.
- GitHub closeout: issue #2579 and PR #2927 were updated with the
accepted direction: adapt the implementation, do not direct-merge #2927
as-is.
## Risks
- The claim endpoint must remain private-only and one-time; a regression
here could expose admin creation on public deployments.
- Existing invite behavior must remain intact for public deployments and
installs that already have an active invite.
- The stable Vitest harness now serializes the aggregate server
workspace group; this is slower, but it avoids DB-backed suite
collisions under root workspace mode.

>
> ROADMAP.md checked: this is a scoped deployment bootstrap/access fix
and does not duplicate a listed roadmap project.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5 Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` for product
engineering, implementation, and verification, with tool-enabled local
code execution. Paperclip QA browser validation was performed in
PAP-10115 by the assigned QA agent; exact adapter model metadata for
that QA run is not exposed in this PR context.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents through a control-plane repo that
relies on GitHub Actions as part of its release and verification safety
net.
> - The PR workflow in `.github/workflows/pr.yml` is the core CI path
protecting pull requests before merge.
> - Baseline measurement work in [PAPA-335](/PAPA/issues/PAPA-335)
showed the old single `verify` job was the critical-path bottleneck,
with general tests and build serialized together.
> - Follow-up implementation in [PAPA-338](/PAPA/issues/PAPA-338) and
[PAPA-339](/PAPA/issues/PAPA-339) split that work into parallel lanes
and removed redundant clean-runner prebuild work.
> - [PAPA-340](/PAPA/issues/PAPA-340) now needs real post-change PR
workflow evidence, not local inference, to compare against the May 15,
2026 baseline and decide whether phase-2 work is still justified.
> - This pull request publishes the already-implemented CI speedup
branch so GitHub can run the actual `PR` workflow against it.
> - The benefit is that CI timing decisions are based on measured runs
from the exact workflow shape we intend to ship.
## What Changed
- Split the PR workflow so `policy` fans out into separate `Typecheck +
Release Registry`, grouped `General tests`, and `Build` jobs.
- Kept the serialized server matrix, canary dry run, and e2e jobs intact
while removing the old monolithic `verify` bottleneck.
- Reworked grouped general-test execution in
`scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs` so the workflow can run balanced
non-serialized lanes.
- Replaced redundant clean-runner prebuild gates with the idempotent
`ensure-build-deps` path used by the relevant CI entrypoints.
## Verification
- `ruby -e "require 'yaml'; YAML.load_file('.github/workflows/pr.yml');
puts 'yaml-ok'"`
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --dry-run`
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --group
general-server --dry-run`
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --group
general-workspaces-a --dry-run`
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --group
general-workspaces-b --dry-run`
- `pnpm test:run:general -- --group general-workspaces-b`
- `pnpm test:run:general -- --group general-workspaces-a`
- `pnpm test:run:general -- --group general-server`
- `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-hello-world-example typecheck`
## Risks
- Required-check and branch-protection settings may still reference the
old single `verify` job name.
- Parallel CI lanes can expose hidden ordering assumptions or
clean-runner bootstrap gaps that local grouped dry-runs did not surface.
- Because the branch is behind current `master`, merge conflicts or
unrelated upstream drift could affect the measured runtime until the
branch is rebased.
> Checked `ROADMAP.md`; this work is CI throughput maintenance for the
existing PR verification path, not duplicate feature work.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip `codex_local`, GPT-5-class coding agent
with repository read/write, shell execution, and GitHub CLI/tool use.
The runtime does not expose a more specific backend model ID in-session.

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

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

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for autonomous companies, so
developer throughput on the control plane repo directly affects how fast
the product can evolve.
> - The PR workflow is part of that throughput surface because every
change waits on it before review and merge.
> - This branch started from measured evidence that the PR critical path
was dominated by work that was either serialized unnecessarily or placed
on the wrong part of the graph.
> - The biggest concrete problems were: the canary dry run living inside
`verify`, the server isolated suites running one-by-one in a single
lane, and duplicate CI work that the PR path was paying for without
increasing coverage proportionally.
> - This pull request restructures the PR workflow so those costs are
reduced without removing the important coverage that was already
protecting release and test quality.
> - Follow-up fixes on the branch hardened the new entrypoints so they
work on clean GitHub runners and so the reduced PR typecheck path stays
self-maintaining as workspace packages evolve.
> - The benefit is materially faster PR wall-clock time while keeping
canary packaging checks, serialized-suite isolation, plugin SDK
consumers, and explicit TypeScript coverage where builds do not already
provide it.
## What Changed
- Moved the PR canary dry run into its own `Canary Dry Run` job so it
still runs on PRs but no longer extends the `verify` critical path.
- Split the custom Vitest runner into `general`, `serialized`, and `all`
modes, and added shard support for the isolated server suites.
- Added `test:run:general` and `test:run:serialized` scripts, then
rewired PR CI to fan the serialized server suites out across a 4-way
matrix.
- Added the required `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` build preflight before
the new reduced-scope typecheck and test entrypoints so they succeed on
clean CI runners.
- Replaced the hardcoded PR build-gap list with
`scripts/run-typecheck-build-gaps.mjs`, which discovers workspace
packages whose `build` scripts skip TypeScript and runs only their
explicit `typecheck` scripts.
- Removed the redundant `pnpm build` from the PR `e2e` job because the
Playwright onboarding path boots Paperclip from source.
## Verification
- `ruby -e "require 'yaml'; YAML.load_file('.github/workflows/pr.yml');
puts 'workflow ok'"`
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode general --dry-run`
- `node scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs --mode serialized --shard-index 0
--shard-count 4 --dry-run`
- `pnpm run typecheck:build-gaps`
- `pnpm test:run:general`
- `pnpm test:run:serialized -- --shard-index 0 --shard-count 4`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm paperclipai onboard --yes --run`
- `curl http://127.0.0.1:3299/api/health`
## Risks
- Branch protection or required-check configuration may need to be
updated for the new standalone `Canary Dry Run` job and the
serialized-suite matrix job names.
- `scripts/run-typecheck-build-gaps.mjs` assumes packages that need
explicit PR-time typechecking are the ones whose `build` scripts omit
`tsc`; if build conventions change, that heuristic needs to stay
aligned.
- Serialized test sharding preserves per-suite isolation, but the first
few CI runs should still be watched for shard-balance or naming
assumptions in downstream tooling.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5.4 via the Codex local adapter, using high reasoning
effort with shell, git, and file-edit tool use in a local worktree.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies through a control plane
that can start, supervise, and recover agent runs.
> - Local adapters are the bridge between Paperclip issues and concrete
agent runtimes such as Claude, Codex, and other ACP-compatible tools.
> - The roadmap calls out broader “bring your own agent” and claw-style
agent support, and ACPX gives Paperclip one path to normalize multiple
ACP agents behind a single adapter.
> - The branch needed to become one reviewable PR against current
`paperclipai/paperclip:master`, without carrying stale base conflicts or
generated lockfile churn.
> - This pull request adds an experimental built-in `acpx_local`
adapter, integrates it through the server/CLI/UI adapter surfaces, and
adds regression coverage for runtime execution, skill sync, stream
parsing, diagnostics, and log redaction.
> - The benefit is that Paperclip can run Claude/Codex/custom ACP agents
through ACPX while keeping operator configuration, skills, logging, and
transcript rendering inside the existing adapter model.
## What Changed
- Added `@paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local` with server execution, config
schema, ACPX session handling, CLI formatting, UI config helpers, and
stdout parsing.
- Registered `acpx_local` across CLI, server, shared constants, UI
adapter metadata, adapter capabilities, and agent creation/editing
surfaces.
- Added ACPX runtime execution support with persistent sessions,
local-agent JWT environment handling, skill snapshots, runtime skill
materialization, and isolation/security regressions.
- Added ACPX adapter diagnostics and marked the adapter experimental in
the UI.
- Added command/env secret redaction for resolved command metadata in
adapter-utils, server event storage, and the Agent Detail invocation UI.
- Added Storybook coverage for ACPX config, transcript rendering, and
skill states, plus PR screenshots under `docs/pr-screenshots/pap-2944/`.
- Rebased the branch onto current `public-gh/master`; `pnpm-lock.yaml`
is intentionally not included and there are no migration/schema changes.
## Verification

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The server route suite is a core confidence layer for auth, issue
context, and workspace runtime behavior
> - Some route tests were doing extra module/server isolation work that
made local runs slower and more fragile
> - The stable Vitest runner also needs to pass server-relative exclude
paths to avoid accidentally re-including serialized suites
> - This pull request tightens route test isolation and runner
serialization behavior
> - The benefit is more reliable targeted and stable-route test
execution without product behavior changes
## What Changed
- Updated `run-vitest-stable.mjs` to exclude serialized server tests
using server-relative paths.
- Forced the server Vitest config to use a single worker in addition to
isolated forks.
- Simplified agent permission route tests to create per-request test
servers without shared server lifecycle state.
- Stabilized issue goal context route mocks by using static mocked
services and a sequential suite.
- Re-registered workspace runtime route mocks before cache-busted route
imports.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issues-goal-context-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-routes-authz.test.ts --pool=forks
--poolOptions.forks.isolate=true`
- `node --check scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`
## Risks
- Low risk. This is test infrastructure only.
- The stable runner path fix changes which tests are excluded from the
non-serialized server batch, matching the server project root that
Vitest applies internally.

with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent, tool-enabled with
shell/GitHub/Paperclip API access. Context window was not reported by
the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - A fast-moving control plane needs stable local tests and repeatable
local maintenance tools so contributors can safely split and review work
> - Several route suites needed stronger isolation, Codex manual model
selection needed a faster-mode option, and local browser cleanup missed
Playwright's headless shell binary
> - Storybook static output also needed to be preserved as a generated
review artifact from the working branch
> - This pull request groups the test/local-dev maintenance pieces so
they can be reviewed separately from product runtime changes
> - The benefit is more predictable contributor verification and cleaner
local maintenance without mixing these changes into feature PRs
## What Changed
- Added stable Vitest runner support and serialized route/authz test
isolation.
- Fixed workspace runtime authz route mocks and stabilized
Claude/company-import related assertions.
- Allowed Codex fast mode for manually selected models.
- Broadened the agent browser cleanup script to detect
`chrome-headless-shell` as well as Chrome for Testing.
- Preserved generated Storybook static output from the source branch.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-routes-authz.test.ts
src/__tests__/claude-local-execute.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts`
from `server/` passed: 2 files, 19 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/server/codex-args.test.ts --config
vitest.config.ts` from `packages/adapters/codex-local/` passed: 1 file,
3 tests.
- `bash -n scripts/kill-agent-browsers.sh &&
scripts/kill-agent-browsers.sh --dry` passed; dry-run detected
`chrome-headless-shell` processes without killing them.
- `test -f ui/storybook-static/index.html && test -f
ui/storybook-static/assets/forms-editors.stories-Dry7qwx2.js` passed.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master..pap-2228-test-local-maintenance --
. ':(exclude)ui/storybook-static'` passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts --config
cli/vitest.config.ts` did not complete in the isolated split worktree
because `paperclipai run` exited during build prep with `TS2688: Cannot
find type definition file for 'react'`; this appears to be caused by the
worktree dependency symlink setup, not the code under test.
- Confirmed this PR does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: the stable Vitest runner changes how route/authz tests
are scheduled.
- Generated `ui/storybook-static` files are large and contain minified
third-party output; `git diff --check` reports whitespace inside those
generated assets, so reviewers may choose to drop or regenerate that
artifact before merge.
- No database migrations.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with shell, git, Paperclip
API, and GitHub CLI tool use in the local Paperclip workspace.
