## Linked Issues or Issue Description
N/A — no public GitHub issue exists for this follow-up. Related merged
work:
[#12600](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12600) and
[#12609](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12609).
This change follows the merged Paperclip Cloud managed OAuth broker
work. It does not add a new broker or provider client.
**What happened?**
The Google Workspace connection definitions could drift from the shared
connector profile registry. The callback activity always named Gmail.
Google Sheets did not show the Developer Preview requirement. The setup
flow could select a customer-owned write method when Cloud advertised
only a managed read profile. The tool-access service had no non-Gmail
managed callback test.
**Expected behavior**
Each managed Google Workspace profile must use its exact app slug, MCP
URL, scopes, ownership, risk tier, and write-tool policy. Callback
activity must name the correct app and profile. Every Google Workspace
card must show the same Developer Preview prerequisite. An available
managed method must be the default within the selected capability. The
customer-owned method must remain available as a fallback.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Advertise only the `gmail.read` managed profile.
2. Open the Gmail connection setup.
3. Observe that the customer-owned draft method becomes the default.
4. Complete a managed Google Drive callback.
5. Observe that the activity row names Gmail instead of Google Drive.
6. Open the Google Sheets setup.
7. Observe that it does not show the Google Developer Preview
prerequisite.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` at the start of this follow-up.
**Deployment mode**
Local development. The same connector definitions apply to Cloud-hosted
and self-hosted instances.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This change affects the core Apps and tool-access
paths.
## What Changed
- Added one table-driven invariant for all 16 Google Workspace profiles.
- Verified each profile against its app slug, MCP URL, exact scopes,
capability, ownership, grant kind, risk tier, and write-tool allowlist.
- Kept the Google Chat write profile least-privilege because its only
enabled write tool is `send_message`.
- Added the Google Developer Preview prerequisite to Google Sheets.
- Preferred an available Paperclip-managed method before a
customer-owned method.
- Preserved explicit capability selection and the customer OAuth
fallback.
- Switched managed-profile availability from the anonymous global
capability document to the enrolled instance's signed status response,
so internal-pilot profiles cannot be enabled locally without an
authorized instance binding.
- Replaced the Gmail callback activity constant with the validated app
slug and connector profile.
- Added connector and route coverage for signed per-instance
capabilities, including inactive and malformed responses.
- Added a Google Drive callback test that covers the signed profile
request, personal vault refs, encrypted secret rows, catalog filtering,
and non-sensitive activity details.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed across all workspaces before the
signed-capability follow-up; final targeted shared and server typechecks
also passed after it.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/paperclip-cloud-connector.test.ts` — passed, 9
tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts` —
passed, 19 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` — passed, 205 tests.
- `pnpm test:run` — incomplete after the general server group reported
five failures in `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`. The
failures are outside the changed files. The run was stopped before the
remaining serialized suites because the shared worktree was needed for a
follow-up edit.
- `pnpm build` — passed on the final tree.
- `git diff --check` — passed on the final tree.
The five full-suite failures were:
- `records teardown and cleanup operations when a recorder is provided`
- `does not accept an occupied allocated port when listener ownership is
unavailable`
- `backfills a pre-existing HTTP-only managed worktree runtime to
verified HTTPS in place`
- `re-adopts a live service whose shell command differs from the
surviving process argv`
- `reuses a registered legacy worktree that already has the branch
checked out`
## Risks
- The default setup method changes when at least one Paperclip-managed
method is available. Explicit read, write, or draft choices still stay
within the selected capability group.
- Managed method availability now depends on Paperclip Cloud's signed
enrolled-instance status. A Cloud outage or an inactive enrollment hides
managed methods while leaving customer-owned OAuth available.
- The callback activity schema gains a non-sensitive `profile` value. It
does not include tokens, account identifiers, emails, tenant
identifiers, or provider error text.
- The profile invariant is strict. A future Google scope or tool change
must update the shared registry and the matching app definition
together.
- There are no database migrations and no public API changes.

## 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package is useful only when the application can start,
observe, and recover a native Codex run safely.
> - Existing direct adapters must keep their current execution and
finalization paths.
> - The application boundary therefore needs additive persistence,
authorization, coordination, and recovery behind an explicit
experimental adapter.
> - This pull request adds that Codex-only boundary without activating
generalized providers, remote environments, or the later task/SDK
surfaces.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Shared contracts, database persistence, adapter utilities, server
native-runtime services, and the experimental Paperclip Runner adapter.
**Problem or motivation**
The already-landed runner package has a qualified Codex path, but the
application needs durable native-run state, guarded runtime selection,
authenticated coordination, tool security, finalization, and recovery
before the experimental adapter can be exercised safely.
**Proposed solution**
Add a Codex-only `paperclip_runner` application path behind the existing
default-off native-runner setting. Bind native state and coordination to
company/run identity, preserve persisted-run recovery, and leave every
direct adapter on its existing legacy execution path.
**Alternatives considered**
The earlier stack boundary introduced a generalized executor and
remote-environment lifecycle here. That made this PR depend on
implementations in higher PRs and changed reusable sandbox behavior
globally. Those pieces are now deferred together to #12592.
**Roadmap alignment**
ROADMAP.md does not list a conflicting native-runner integration
project. This change adds the application boundary for the existing
Runner architecture.
## What Changed
- Added native run/result/finalization/provider-trace persistence,
shared validators, and idempotent migration/replay coverage.
- Added guarded Codex-only runtime selection, authenticated PRP
coordination, recovery, finalization, and interaction services.
- Added run/company-bound tool-gateway authorization, credential
redaction, SSRF protections, and replay-safe behavior.
- Added the explicit `paperclip_runner` adapter behind the default-off
rollout setting.
- Preserved legacy answered-question wake projection and direct-adapter
execution/finalization paths.
- Hardened cancellation so only owned in-memory child processes are
signaled; persisted recycled PIDs/process groups are never trusted.
- Retained the narrow Claude ACPX isolated-context security follow-up
discovered after #12590.
- Deferred the generalized executor, provider ingress, remote lifecycle,
SDK/lab/eval work, release-process changes, and lockfile.
## Verification
- Changed-file delta against `master`: 133 files.
- GitHub Actions is the authoritative verification environment for this
PR.
- Full CI, security, and Greptile review will run on this lowest
unmerged stack PR.
- Local tests/build/typecheck were not run because this checkout is
resource constrained.
- Static diff/reference checks pass, and `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.
## Risks
- This touches central heartbeat and agent-route code, so legacy
compatibility is the primary risk.
- Runtime selection remains Codex-only and explicit; direct Codex,
Claude, OpenCode, process, HTTP, and plugin adapters remain on their
existing paths.
- Fresh native starts fail closed while the rollout flag is off;
persisted native records remain readable and recoverable.
- Cancellation, company/run binding, tool calls, status decisions, and
completion writes are guarded or replay-safe.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip lets operators give governed tools to AI agents.
> - Connected Apps already support provider OAuth and personal
connection grants.
> - Some providers require one stable callback and do not support
dynamic client registration.
> - Self-hosted Paperclip instances can run at private or changeable
origins.
> - Paperclip Cloud can provide the stable callback while each instance
keeps its durable provider credentials.
> - This pull request adds the instance side of that managed OAuth
protocol and keeps customer-created clients available.

hosted and enrolled self-hosted instances.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This change updates the server, Apps UI, shared app
definitions, and connection documentation.
**Problem or motivation**
Some OAuth providers require a pre-registered callback and
provider-owned client. An arbitrary self-hosted Paperclip origin cannot
use that client callback directly. Paperclip ID must also stay limited
to product identity instead of resource authorization.
**Proposed solution**
Use the existing Paperclip Cloud application as the fixed callback
broker. Enroll each instance to an exact origin and separate Ed25519 and
X25519 keys. Bind every request and sealed envelope to the instance,
environment, user, company, provider, profile, and exact scope set.
Store durable provider credentials only in the originating instance
vault.
**Alternatives considered**
Customer-created OAuth clients remain available as the independent
fallback. A generic redirect relay was rejected because it would allow
caller-selected destinations and scopes. Paperclip ID was rejected as
the broker because it is the identity boundary. A new service was
rejected because the existing Cloud application already owns customer
login and the public callback origin.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work extends the shipped MCP Tool Gateway and Apps milestone. It
also supports the Connected Apps and Cloud deployments roadmap items.
Companion Cloud implementation:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/312
The duplicate search found no related open Paperclip PR or issue.
## What Changed
- Add a `paperclip_cloud_connector` client with signed requests, exact
profile and scope bindings, and X25519-sealed credential handling.
- Add explicit self-hosted enrollment with owner-only instance key
storage and exact HTTPS origins.
- Route managed Google Workspace setup through Paperclip Cloud and
preserve customer-created OAuth clients.
- Keep broker claims retryable until the local vault transaction
commits.
- Keep managed Google per-profile removal local-only to avoid
client-wide provider revocation.
- Add setup status to the Connections page and retain the Paperclip ID
names as compatibility aliases.
- Document the trust boundaries, enrollment, callback, refresh, removal,
and rollout flows.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run
src/app-definitions.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/paperclip-cloud-connector.test.ts
src/services/paperclip-cloud-connector-enrollment.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts -t 'brokered Gmail
OAuth|brokered OAuth state'`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/apps/Connections.test.tsx`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
- The full stable test runner also reproduced existing macOS workspace,
skill-discovery, and listener fixture failures outside the changed
paths. GitHub Linux CI is the authoritative full-suite result.
## Risks
- The managed flow depends on
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/312. Real provider
profiles stay disabled until Cloud deploys that protocol and the
provider approves the managed client.
- A Cloud outage blocks new authorization and refresh. Existing access
tokens continue to work until expiry.
- Managed Google profile removal only deletes the local grant. This
avoids invalidating the user's other profiles that share the managed
Google client.
- Legacy `paperclip_id_connector` records require a reconnect after
their current access tokens expire. Old Paperclip ID keys and refresh
tokens are not sent to Paperclip Cloud.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip Runner already has a hardened ACPX path for Codex.
> - Claude can reuse that protocol only with an exact package/model
profile and provider-lifetime fencing.
> - Pi needs a separately spawned runtime whose executable does not yet
have the descriptor-confined verified launch used by the ACP server.
> - This pull request therefore activates Claude only and keeps Pi
unavailable before installation or process launch.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Paperclip Runner ACPX driver, runtime host, sidecar, backend factory,
package dependency, and provider conformance tests.
**Problem or motivation**
The production ACPX backend was Codex-only. Claude needs the same
fail-closed model, authorization, cancellation, cleanup, and recovery
boundaries without exposing an unsafe secondary runtime path.
**Proposed solution**
Generalize the hardened ACPX runtime for the exact qualified `claude`
profile, add the pinned Claude ACP package and reviewed isolation patch,
and reject Pi before installation, backend construction, sidecar
initialization, Rust session admission, or process creation.
**Alternatives considered**
Activating Pi in this PR was rejected after security review because its
secondary runtime executable was pathname-based and lacked the verified
descriptor/snapshot boundary. Pi is deferred to a dedicated follow-up.
Replaying the older generic ACPX implementation was rejected because it
predates current hardening.
**Roadmap alignment**
ROADMAP.md does not list a conflicting ACPX-provider project. This
extends the existing Runner provider architecture.
## What Changed
- Generalized the ACPX backend, driver, runtime adapter, host, and
sidecar for the qualified Claude profile.
- Added Claude ACPX activation through its exact pinned package/model
pair and isolated-settings patch.
- Added provider-lifetime fencing for non-Codex qualified ACPX sessions.
- Kept Pi dependencies and its patch out of the package and build
configuration.
- Added fail-closed Pi rejection at driver validation, backend
construction, runtime-host admission, sidecar initialization, and Rust
session validation.
- Added focused tests for Claude selection, model enforcement, lifecycle
fencing, cancellation, recovery, and Pi rejection.
- Did not change or commit `pnpm-lock.yaml`; CI regenerates the PR
lockfile under the existing repository policy.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions is the authoritative verification environment for this
PR.
- CI runs dependency policy, runner package checks, protocol parity,
typecheck, build, security, and stack policy.
- Local tests were not run because this checkout is resource
constrained, per the requested workflow.
## Risks
- Claude package behavior can drift from the qualified protocol; the
package and patch are pinned and admission verifies the exact profile.
- Unsupported providers and models fail closed.
- Pi remains unavailable until descriptor-confined verified launch
exists for its separate runtime.
- Existing Codex ACPX behavior remains covered by shared conformance
tests.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: packages/paperclip-runner and the Codex-local adapter
configuration contract.
**Problem or motivation**
Paperclip Runner has provider-neutral contracts, but the production
backend factory cannot start a qualified OpenCode session. This blocks
OpenCode from using the durable runner path.
**Proposed solution**
Add the qualified OpenCode app-server proxy, driver, MCP bridge,
backend, fixtures, and factory wiring. Keep existing Codex behavior
unchanged.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping OpenCode only on the direct adapter path would avoid this
runtime work, but it would not provide durable runner recovery or
normalized provider events.
**Roadmap alignment**
ROADMAP.md does not list a conflicting provider-runtime project. This
change extends the existing Paperclip Runner architecture.
## What Changed
- Added the qualified OpenCode app-server proxy and input queue.
- Added collaboration-mode and provider-event normalization.
- Added the OpenCode MCP bridge and native session backend.
- Added strict fixtures and focused unit coverage.
- Added only the package exports and adapter configuration required by
this runtime.
- Kept deferred SDK, lab, eval, and public package surfaces out of this
change.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions is the authoritative verification environment for this
PR.
- Run the package type checks and focused OpenCode tests in CI.
- Run repository typecheck, test, build, security, and policy gates
through the stack-aware workflow.
- Local tests were not run because this checkout is resource
constrained.
## Risks
- OpenCode protocol changes could affect event normalization or
recovery.
- The driver fails closed on malformed input and unsupported runtime
behavior.
- Existing Codex selection remains unchanged unless the stored provider
is OpenCode.

## Stack
- Position: 1 of 4
- Base: master
- Next: additional qualified provider runtimes
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust ACPX session can now suspend only at a safe idle boundary
and its events have a durable projection
> - A later runner process cannot safely resume from an unbound or
partially written identity record
> - The recovery anchor must bind the exact provider identity, run,
normalized session, catalog revision, and catalog digest
> - The record must be bounded, private, strict about schema drift, and
atomically replaceable
> - Recovery must re-admit the entire prospective session configuration
before releasing the stored identity
> - This pull request adds only that package-local checkpoint store
without selecting ACPX in runnerd
## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12422
## What Changed
- Add a versioned ACPX safe-suspension checkpoint contract with unknown
fields rejected at every persisted level.
- Bind each checkpoint to the run, normalized session, catalog revision,
catalog digest, and exact provider identity.
- Persist a checkpoint-specific strict identity that requires the pinned
permission mode without narrowing the additive live sidecar identity
wire shape.
- Construct checkpoints only from a session configuration whose model,
permission policy, tool catalog, and expected identity validate.
- Admit recovery only when reconstructing the checkpoint from the
prospective configuration produces an exact match.
- Reject run, session, catalog revision, catalog digest, model,
permission, expected-identity, profile, and workspace drift fail closed.
- Require persisted run/session IDs to satisfy the same stable-ID
boundary as fresh session admission.
- Store the checkpoint under a dedicated private runner-state
subdirectory.
- Bound checkpoint files to 1 MiB before reading or decoding.
- Refuse symlinked state directories and non-private or non-regular
checkpoint files.
- Replace checkpoints atomically through a private temporary file and
directory sync.
- Make repeated saves of the same checkpoint idempotent.
- Add integration coverage for private round trips, complete recovery
admission, malformed/oversized files, nested schema drift, missing
permission binding, invalid stable IDs, and symlink denial.
- Document the package-local suspension recovery boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.
## Verification
- Replay base: `1ee738cf487defe88043b241c4e2dc34a1a8a7bc` (`master`
after #12424 merged).
- Exact replay head: `89cfea5495428be890810d2b8a27673943234ca3`.
- Stable patch ID: `dbaeb0bbe773f1ca5ef1f9bdc0fa61f4a08ca451`.
- The exact delta is 4 files and 591 additions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, dependency, or migration change.
- `git diff --check` and the Cargo formatting check pass on the replayed
delta.
- Exact-head GitHub Actions run `33374006661` (attempt 2): **PASSED**
with 23/23 jobs passed.
- Greptile reviewed exact head
`89cfea5495428be890810d2b8a27673943234ca3`: **5/5**, with zero
unresolved review threads.
- Superagent, contributor trust, Socket, and Snyk security checks:
**PASSED**.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.
## Risks
- A checkpoint is valid only after the sidecar has confirmed safe
suspension. The constructor therefore accepts the exact identity
returned by that operation and revalidates it against local authority.
- Loading proves only that the file is structurally valid;
`admit_recovery` is the boundary that proves the file belongs to the
prospective run, catalog, model, permission policy, and expected
provider identity.
- The checkpoint intentionally contains no credentials, bootstrap
ticket, provider output, or pending request payload.
- Strict checkpoint schema and identity validation rejects incompatible
or tampered recovery records rather than attempting partial migration.
This strictness is checkpoint-local and does not narrow existing PRP or
sidecar wire compatibility.
- Atomic replacement uses the platform `rename` primitive; Unix
additionally syncs the private parent directory before reporting
success.
- No production path loads this checkpoint in this pull request. Runnerd
execution and durable recovery wiring remain a later slice.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now owns validated, scoped ACPX reducer events and
safe session suspension
> - Durable PRP transport must receive provider-neutral events rather
than sidecar-native envelopes
> - Semantic calls and questions must retain the exact run, session,
turn, item, and provider-request authority used by the durable command
stream
> - Terminal, result, assistant, process, and diagnostic events also
need one reviewed projection boundary
> - Permission requests remain impossible under the pinned Codex policy
and must fail closed if they reach projection
> - This pull request adds only that package-local projection without

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12422
## What Changed
- Add a validated durable ACPX event projection context bound to one
run, normalized session, turn, and item.
- Pass already normalized activity events through without reintroducing
provider-native envelopes.
- Project authorized tool calls into canonical semantic input receipts
with exact correlation and content digests.
- Project structured questions into provider-neutral
`paperclip.runtime_request.v2` events.
- Preserve both the public projected request identity and the original
provider request identity so responses resolve the exact sidecar
request.
- Project dynamic semantic operation results as `semantic_tool.result`;
only reserved finish/block operations may propose the run result.
- Project semantic completion results into `run.result.proposed`.
- Project terminal-flushed assistant messages on the final channel and
turn terminal states into existing provider-neutral event families.
- Project sanitized process metadata and diagnostics into bounded
harness diagnostics.
- Validate runtime-request origins against their strict durable shape
and fall back from empty optional titles to a valid question prompt.
- Reject invalid identities, projected-identity collisions, unstable
semantic receipt identities, permission requests, and cross-turn
projection fail closed.
- Add integration coverage across reducer event families, correlation,
identity validation, projected question resolution, and pinned-policy
denial.
- Document the durable projection boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.
## Verification

**PASSED**.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.
## Risks
- This function accepts reducer output, not raw sidecar frames. Callers
must preserve the existing scope-first decode and reduction order.
- Semantic input includes the already sanitized provider input while its
content receipt uses the same canonical digest.
- Structured input preserves the validated provider-neutral question set
and sanitized origin.
- Noncanonical provider request identities are deterministically
projected for PRP while the original identity remains authoritative for
the sidecar resolution command.
- Existing PRP v1 identifiers remain schema-compatible; the only public
ID-schema change widens turn/item limits from 160 to 240 characters. The
internal ACPX sidecar wire schema now mirrors the stable IDs its Rust
transport already enforced.
- The projector verifies event-carried terminal and assistant turn
identifiers against the durable context.
- No production path invokes this projector in this pull request.
Durable command execution remains the next slice.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now owns exact ACPX request resolution and
fail-closed session state
> - A recoverable provider session needs an explicit suspension boundary
before runnerd can safely hand work across process lifetimes
> - Suspension is unsafe while a turn or provider request is active
because remote effects may still be in flight
> - A successful acknowledgement must preserve the exact immutable
session identity
> - This pull request adds only that guarded package-local lifecycle
operation without selecting ACPX in runnerd
> - The benefit is a small recovery primitive whose safety rules are
independently reviewable
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12421
## What Changed
- Add a provider-state query for active pending tool, input, or
permission requests.
- Permit session suspension only when no turn or provider request is
active.
- Send a bounded `session.suspend` command with an operator-safe reason.
- Require an affirmative suspension acknowledgement and the exact
existing session identity.
- Treat transport failure, rejection, omitted or malformed identity, and
identity drift as fail-closed terminal errors.
- Mark a successfully suspended session closed and terminate the local
sidecar process while retaining cleanup ownership if termination must be
retried.
- Preserve a valid session after purely local unsafe-state rejection so
it can settle before retry.
- Extend the fake sidecar with deterministic suspension success,
acknowledgement mismatch, identity mismatch, and missing-identity modes.
- Add integration coverage for safe suspension, active-turn rejection,
fail-closed remote mismatches, and retained cleanup.
- Document the package-local suspension boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

- Stable patch ID: `b18d6b7efd1de569d3068b0a782f8aac2fbc9322`; this is
the prepared suspension delta plus the focused fake-sidecar fix that
consolidates mismatch modes into the existing command arm.
- The exact delta is 5 files, 136 additions, and 5 deletions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Exact-head GitHub Actions run `33369571343` (attempt 1): **PASSED**

unresolved review threads.
- Superagent, contributor trust, Socket, and Snyk security checks:
**PASSED**.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.
## Risks
- The sidecar may apply suspension before a transport failure is
observed. The local session closes rather than retrying an ambiguous
effect.
- Local active-work rejection happens before transport and leaves the
valid session open so the caller can settle it safely.
- Identity equality is checked across provider, driver, session, thread,
run, and company fields before accepting suspension.
- No production path invokes suspension in this pull request. Runnerd
execution and durable recovery wiring remain later slices.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now owns a scoped ACPX turn and validates provider
requests before exposing them
> - A live turn can pause for semantic tool results or structured input
> - Local state and the sidecar can diverge if the runner clears a
request before the sidecar accepts its resolution
> - A mismatched or ambiguous remote acknowledgement must close the
session, while a local validation error must preserve the request for a
safe retry
> - This pull request adds those two-phase resolution paths and rejects
Codex permission events that bypass the pinned policy without selecting
ACPX in runnerd
> - The benefit is an atomic request boundary that can be wired into
durable execution in a later slice
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12420
Refs #12419
## What Changed
- Resolve authorized semantic tool calls only for the active turn and
exact pending operation.
- Validate semantic results against the authorized response schema
before transport.
- Send a bounded generic provider error when a semantic operation fails
without exposing internal error text or payloads.
- Resolve structured input only after validating the exact persisted
question set.
- Support explicit submit, decline, and cancel input outcomes.
- Reject any Codex permission event that bypasses the pinned sidecar
policy.
- Build candidate provider and authorization state before each request.
- Commit candidate state only after the sidecar returns an affirmative
resolution acknowledgement.
- Preserve pending work after local validation errors so the caller can
retry safely.
- Terminate the session after transport failure or an invalid remote
acknowledgement because the remote effect is ambiguous.
- Bind every resolution to the exact active turn and request or call
identity.
- Extend the fake sidecar and add integration coverage for successful
commits, safe local retries, pinned-policy enforcement, redaction, and
fail-closed acknowledgement mismatch.
- Document the package-local resolution boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

threads; Superagent, Socket, Snyk, and contributor-trust checks also

- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative

## Risks
- A transport failure can happen after the sidecar applied a resolution.
The session closes instead of retrying an ambiguous effect.
- Local validation happens before transport and preserves pending state,
so a corrected answer or result can be retried.
- The sidecar transport already correlates each command response to its
request identifier. This slice also requires `resolved: true` before
local commit.
- The initial Codex sidecar owns its pinned permission policy and does
not delegate permission resolution. Any permission event therefore
terminates the session fail closed.
- No production path invokes these methods in this pull request. Durable
ACPX execution wiring remains a later slice.

turn lifecycle
> - Provider questions pause a turn and must return structured answers
to the same persisted question set

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12419
## What Changed
- Validate `paperclip.question_response.v1` against its versioned JSON
Schema.
- Bound serialized responses to 768 KiB before validation.
- Require answer identifiers to match the exact persisted question set.
- Require answers for required questions and reject unknown question
identifiers.
- Enforce text, single-select, and multi-select answer modes.
- Match the existing TypeScript numeric syntax, including decimal,
exponent, hexadecimal, octal, and binary input.
- Match ECMAScript trimming exactly, including BOM whitespace while
rejecting Unicode NEL rather than inheriting Rust-specific whitespace
behavior.
- Enforce known options, custom-answer policy, text length, pattern, and
numeric constraints.
- Validate duplicate option IDs, inverted bounds, and dynamic patterns
before answer lookup so malformed optional questions fail closed even
when unanswered.
- Match JavaScript UTF-16 code-unit length semantics for text
constraints and the 100,000-unit response-field bound.
- Preserve the public optional `recommended` question-option field in
the versioned schema, generated schema bundle, and Rust validation path.
- Return typed validation errors for malformed inputs without panics.
- Export the validator from the Rust runner core.
- Add table-driven tests for valid, mismatched, malformed, oversized,
and numeric-boundary responses.
- Document the package-local structured-response boundary.
- Add `num-bigint` 0.4 and `num-traits` 0.2 as direct runner-core
dependencies for exact arbitrary-length radix parsing and one-step
JavaScript Number rounding; update only the package-local runner Cargo
lockfile.
- Do not change the repository PNPM lockfile, workflows, runnerd
selection, server behavior, UI, or migrations.

- The exact delta is 10 files, 712 additions, and 2 deletions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`.
- The package-local `packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.lock`
records the two direct runner-core dependencies; their already-resolved
versions and checksums are unchanged.
- The question-set schema source, generated TypeScript schema bundle,
and protocol manifest hash are updated together; the schema SHA-256 is
`42b5441a3d388851dacb6e4500dfd4a17d878eded2e724228078b647e7440d3f`.

## Risks
- The validator compiles the embedded response schema for each
submission. Responses are user-paced and bounded, so this keeps the
slice simple without affecting a hot event path.
- The persisted question set is the source of truth for identifiers and
constraints. A malformed persisted set fails closed.
- Numeric input follows the existing structured-question contract,
including JavaScript-prefixed syntax. Optional whitespace-only answers
are rejected instead of being treated as an omitted value.
- Error messages identify the invalid field but do not include answer
text.
- No production path invokes this validator in this pull request.
Request resolution remains the next slice.

## What Changed
- Start one ACPX turn only after validating a bounded turn identifier,
bounded message, and the session's immutable working directory.
- Require `turn.start` to acknowledge the exact requested turn before
mutating provider state.
- Request interruption only for the active turn and require an
affirmative cancellation acknowledgement.
- Keep the turn active until the authoritative terminal event is polled
and reduced.
- Poll bounded sidecar events and route every event through the existing
scope-first payload/state boundary.
- Terminate the sidecar fail closed after a rejected or mismatched turn
command, transport failure, or invalid scoped event.
- Preserve ordinary local validation failures without mutating or
closing an otherwise valid session.
- Admit semantic tool calls through the run-scoped authorized tool
bridge before returning them to runnerd.
- Reduce events and authorize tool calls on candidate clones, then
commit both together only after every check passes.
- Rotate and scope tool receipts by run and turn; reserve pending,
completed, and settled call IDs across both tool bridges so cross-bridge
duplicates cannot be re-admitted.
- Preserve exact turn correlation through payload, scope, provider
state, fake sidecar, and integration fixtures.
- Extend the package-local fake sidecar with deterministic turn
activity, terminal, acknowledgement-mismatch, and scope-violation modes.
- Add integration coverage for happy-path
activity/interruption/settlement, local validation, turn mismatch,
cancellation mismatch, cross-run denial, receipt rotation, and
cross-bridge call-ID reuse.
- Document the turn lifecycle boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.
## Verification
- Replay base: `10cf68295d5457ccf1010db20a06e2951e47162a` (`master`
after #12418 merged).
- Exact replay head: `1ec18368bdacafafa58720b9e2b982e1b0d11163`.
- Stable patch ID: `4b43a5ef2a428850a05b0741d06e7cf4f48ec334`, identical
to the prepared four-commit delta plus the focused cross-bridge call-ID
reservation fix.
- The exact delta is 13 files, 1,855 additions, and 37 deletions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- GitHub Actions run `33364033038`, attempt 2: **PASSED** on the exact
replay head (23/23 jobs passed; the failed-job-only retry cleared one
unrelated flaky server heartbeat test).
- Greptile: **5/5** on the exact replay head with zero unresolved review
threads; Superagent, Socket, and Snyk checks also passed.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.
## Risks
- A sidecar may emit events while a command response is in flight. The
transport buffers them, then the session binds the acknowledged turn
before polling and reducing those events.
- A turn-start rejection can leave provider-native state ambiguous, so
command rejection or acknowledgement mismatch terminates the session
instead of attempting unsafe reuse.
- Interruption does not settle local state; only the validated terminal
event clears the active turn.
- Any transport or event validation failure terminates the child process
so a compromised stream cannot continue.
- Call identifiers are authorization identities and remain reserved
across pending, completed, and settled states in both bridges.
- The package exposes new Rust methods, but no production path invokes
them in this pull request.
- Tool authorization is atomic with reducer state, but tool results,
structured input, and permission resolution remain later slices.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now has bounded ACPX transport, scope, payload,
normalization, and state-reduction layers
> - A live provider needs a lifecycle owner that starts the sidecar and
proves it opened the exact requested session
> - The initial production slice is Codex-only and must fail closed on
capability, model, identity, policy, or catalog drift
> - Failed bootstraps must not leak a child process, and ordinary
shutdown must preserve resumable provider state
> - This pull request adds that package-local lifecycle without
selecting ACPX in runnerd
> - The benefit is a reviewable bootstrap/recovery boundary before turn
commands and production selection are connected
## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12416
## What Changed
- Add a package-local ACPX provider session configuration and lifecycle
owner.
- Reject non-UTF-8 runtime and working directories before spawning so
JSON path serialization cannot panic.
- Validate the sidecar launch contract, Codex-only agent, model, run and
session identifiers, absolute directories, positive JSON-safe catalog
revision, pinned permission mode, bounded instructions, and canonical
authorized tool catalog before spawning.
- Verify the initialization protocol version, child PID,
persistent-session support, exact-model support, runner-owned permission
policy, semantic-tool bridge, and structured-input contract.
- Open an identity-bound session and require the requested and effective
models, permission mode, session identifier, digests, and optional
recovery identity to match exactly.
- Attach the run and require the sidecar to confirm the exact run
identifier and catalog revision.
- Retry failed transport cleanup while retaining lifecycle ownership;
terminate the sidecar after every failed bootstrap and on an unclosed
session drop.
- Close sessions without discarding persistent state and make explicit
shutdown idempotent.
- Extend the package-local fake sidecar with deterministic bootstrap,
wrong-model, and wrong-run responses.
- Add five integration tests covering successful bootstrap/shutdown,
pre-spawn policy validation, model mismatch, run mismatch, and recovery
identity matching.
- Document the session bootstrap boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.
## Verification
- Replay base: `f038633bf5b04163ff985ef0542876bd9f455379` (`master`
after #12417 merged).
- Exact replay head: `a6d9ad62f20fdb47a1dbc76aa4baa9d8fa6dae53`.
- Stable patch ID: `82b6f2551749598a688c3f44a1a3714516030429`, identical
to the reviewed `e6e550f9..d51a8855` delta.
- The exact delta is 5 files and 609 additions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Focused Rust lifecycle, package, repository, security, and Greptile
checks: **PASSED** on the replayed exact head. Full CI run `33362799786`
is green; its failed-job retry passed one unrelated flaky server shard
without a patch change. Greptile is exact-head 5/5, all security checks
pass, and no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.
## Risks
- This lifecycle owns a child process and session identity.
Configuration is fully validated before spawning, every bootstrap
response is checked against the child PID and requested identity, and
failed bootstrap always terminates the process.
- Recovery identity matching is exact so a persisted native record
cannot silently attach to another session, model, workspace, profile, or
permission policy.
- Explicit shutdown preserves persistent provider state; a dropped
unclosed session still terminates its process group as a safety
fallback.
- The package exports a new Rust module, but no production path
constructs it in this pull request.
- Turn commands, event polling, request resolution, and runnerd
selection remain later slices.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now has bounded ACPX transport, scope, payload, and
provider-neutral normalization layers
> - A live provider still needs state across events to correlate
requests and preserve turn ordering
> - That state must not mutate before scope and payload validation
succeeds
> - It must bound retained text and pending values, suppress repeated
reasoning boundaries, and make one semantic result authoritative

or selecting ACPX in runnerd
> - The benefit is a separately reviewable state machine before
transport commands and production selection are connected
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12416
Refs #12415
## What Changed
- Add a package-local ACPX provider state reducer with one run binding
and one active turn.
- Decode every sidecar event through the existing scope-first payload
boundary before state mutation.
- Bound retained assistant text, pending semantic tool inputs, and
pending runtime request values.
- Correlate semantic tool calls, structured input requests, and
permission requests by stable IDs.
- Keep pending tool resolution two-phase so callers remove state only
after a later sidecar command succeeds.
- Carry authoritative tool classification from validated payloads into
retained state.
- Suppress repeated reasoning-start activity within one turn.
- Accept one semantic result idempotently and fail closed on a
conflicting result.
- Flush the final assistant message before the authoritative terminal
event.
- Clear unresolved turn-scoped requests at terminal state and reject
late events for the settled turn.
- Admit redacted global process and diagnostic events without requiring
an active turn.
- Add seven integration tests for turn ordering, correlation, conflicts,
scope-before-mutation, redaction, and terminal cleanup.
- Document the state boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.
## Verification
- Replay base: `7bb6cebeae727a16c205bb80b5c2b9e92ea6b5fa` (`master`

to the reviewed `f9cb4e54..e6e550f9` delta.
- The exact delta is 4 files and 720 additions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Focused Rust state, package, repository, security, and Greptile
checks: **PASSED** on the replayed exact head. Full CI run `33362166929`
completed successfully, Greptile is exact-head 5/5, all security checks
pass, and no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.
## Risks
- This reducer owns security-sensitive correlation and terminal
ordering, so its only raw-event entry point always invokes scope-first
decoding.
- Pending resolution methods must be called only after the corresponding
sidecar transport command succeeds; the later process adapter owns that
sequencing.
- Terminal events intentionally clear unresolved turn-scoped requests so
late tool or input results fail closed.
- One semantic result remains readable after terminal state for later
durable finalization and is cleared only when a new turn begins.
- The package exports a new Rust module, but no production path
constructs it in this pull request.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now admits ACPX sidecar frames only after transport,
scope, and payload validation
> - Valid payloads still contain provider-native runtime event shapes

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

## What Changed
- Normalize validated ACPX text, reasoning, plan, status, tool, notice,
and error updates into existing PRP activity families.
- Keep reasoning contents private while preserving a reasoning activity
boundary.
- Map plan entries, usage, review-mode status, and tool lifecycle into
bounded canonical payloads.
- Generate one shared ACPX sidecar event/classification contract for
TypeScript and Rust, with ASCII-only classification parity and bounded
kind/title fields.
- Preserve authoritative tool-call identity and classification even when
the aggregate native event exceeds the generic frame budget.
- Resolve display-only tool targets within the workspace under the
provider host's path semantics; reject raw, unmarked, absolute,
parent-traversing, URL-shaped, and unsafe drive-shaped values.
- Redact and digest retained tool output with the existing durable
policy.
- Ignore provider inventory status updates that have no user-facing
activity.
- Leave semantic results and `done` updates to the stateful adapter so
durable receipts and terminal events are not duplicated.
- Add cross-language and Rust coverage for every mapping family,
classifier parity, privacy, unsafe paths, redaction, bounded
titles/kinds, and oversized tool-call preservation.
- Document the normalization and display-path authorization boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

successfully, Greptile is exact-head 5/5, all security checks pass, and
no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.
## Risks
- This code controls what provider activity is retained and displayed,
so malformed native values must not bypass the earlier decoder.
- The function contract requires an already scope-checked and
payload-validated runtime event; the future adapter must preserve that
order.
- Tool classification and identity are security-relevant authorization
inputs and remain explicit even when optional aggregate display data is
dropped for bounds.
- Repeated reasoning chunks require stateful suppression. This mapper
exposes a privacy-safe start boundary and the later adapter owns
per-turn deduplication.
- Semantic results and terminal authority intentionally produce no
activity here; the later adapter must commit them through the durable
operational paths.
- The package exports new generated and Rust normalization surfaces, but
no production path invokes them in this pull request.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12414
Refs #12412
## What Changed
- Decode sidecar payloads only after run and turn scope validation
passes.
- Limit each decoded payload to 256 KiB.
- Add typed payload variants for runtime events, permission requests,
input requests, semantic tool calls, terminal events, process events,
and diagnostics.
- Admit only the nine runtime event shapes emitted by the reviewed Codex
ACPX sidecar.
- Validate runtime text, plan entries, tool locations, semantic result
identities, notices, errors, and terminal status values.
- Validate input requests against `paperclip.question_set.v1`.
- Reject duplicate question IDs and duplicate option IDs within one
question.
- Require bounded control identities and object-shaped operational
values.
- Redact diagnostic, error, process, permission, tool, and retained
runtime values before they can enter provider state.
- Add six integration tests for every admitted shape, malformed values,
scope-before-decode ordering, size limits, question ambiguity, and
secret redaction.

- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Risks
- This decoder is a security boundary because later code can act on

- It validates event authority before it inspects a payload.
- It fails closed on unknown runtime event types, malformed fields,
ambiguous question identifiers, unsupported terminal states, and
oversized payloads.
- It applies the existing durable redaction policy to retained values.
- The package exports a new Rust module, but no production path
constructs it in this pull request.
- A later provider adapter must preserve this validation order and must
not consume raw sidecar payloads directly.

## What Changed
- Add an `AcpxEventScope` for one run and at most one active turn.
- Validate run and turn identifiers before they enter scope state.
- Make repeated binding of the same turn safe.
- Reject a second active turn and a stale turn clear.
- Require exact run and active turn bindings for operational, tool,
input, permission, and terminal events.
- Permit process and diagnostic events without a scope because they can
describe the sidecar process itself.
- Validate every optional run or turn binding on process and diagnostic
events.
- Add an integration-test file for all seven event families, missing
scope, cross-run scope, cross-turn scope, inactive turns, turn
lifecycle, and invalid identifiers.

## What Changed
- Add a Rust client for the generated ACPX sidecar v2 contract.
- Validate the executable path, launch arguments, request timeout, and
shutdown grace before process start.
- Require exact request identities and contiguous event sequence
numbers.
- Reject replayed events, sequence gaps, wrong response identities,
malformed frames, unknown fields, and unsupported protocol versions.
- Bound stdout frames to 1 MiB and buffered events to 512 entries.
- Bound event poll timeouts to 120 seconds before any `Instant`
arithmetic.
- Buffer valid events that arrive while a command waits for its
response.
- Treat an empty event poll as a normal timeout without poisoning the
transport.
- Discard retained events and reject all polling after a terminal
transport failure.
- Terminate the process group after a timeout, transport failure, or
protocol failure.
- Keep a valid sidecar command rejection separate from a transport
failure so the next command can run.
- Redact and bound stderr diagnostics before they enter an error.
- Add a deterministic fake sidecar and twelve integration tests for
success, polling, timeout bounds, poisoned queues, replay, gaps,
identity mismatch, rejection, event floods, oversized frames, and secret
redaction.
- Document that the transport remains package-local and does not change
runnerd provider selection.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.
## Verification
- Replay base: `9ad8dbffa0a4759dcda2769042d6e8f02adcdf8d` (`master`
after #12410 merged).
- Exact replay head: `5c41111c4f9564405a6e87a02b6cf253a4424e5f`.
- Stable patch ID: `60aca2620fdbb73fbbc203e928d39dcd450e085b`; this
preserves the reviewed `1334a7f5..c5654218` six-file delta and keeps
trusted bounded-reader failures distinct from fully redacted child
stderr.
- The exact delta is 6 files and 896 additions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Focused Rust transport, package, repository, security, and Greptile
checks: **PASSED** on the replayed exact head. Full CI run `33359202433`
is green; its failed-job retry passed the two unrelated flaky jobs
without a patch change. Greptile is exact-head 5/5, all security checks
pass, and no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.
## Risks
- The transport crosses an untrusted process boundary and is
security-sensitive.
- It fails closed on malformed frames, identity drift, event replay,
sequence gaps, queue overflow, frame overflow, timeout, process exit,
and channel failure.
- A terminal failure clears retained events before it marks the
transport unavailable.
- It redacts and bounds retained diagnostics before it returns them to a
caller.
- A valid remote command rejection does not corrupt the transport state.
- The package exports a new Rust module, but no production path
constructs it in this pull request.
- The later provider adapter must validate run, turn, session, model,
and tool bindings before it selects this transport.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12409
Refs #12386
This pull request implements the Codex-only executable for the ACPX
sidecar contract merged in #12386. It builds on the question conformance
gate merged in #12409. Runnerd and the server do not select this
executable in this pull request.
## What Changed
- Publish the `paperclip-runner-acpx-sidecar` package binary and
document its current boundary.
- Add a versioned stdin/stdout sidecar that admits only the qualified
Codex ACPX profile and exact initialized model.
- Support atomic session open, run attachment, turn start and
cancellation, tool and input resolution, session read and snapshot, safe
suspension, close, and recovery identity checks.
- Bind runtime directory, workspace, permission mode, provider identity,
run identity, and semantic tool catalog before use.
- Validate completion and blocked results against the PRP result
contract. Bound pending tools, pending inputs, messages, events, usage,
diagnostics, and errors.
- Redact provider output and convert file locations to bounded
workspace-relative display data. Do not treat displayed paths as
file-access authority.
- Harden verified executable loading, module resolution, launch
environment filtering, process-group guardianship, and provider
termination.
- Retain managed credentials and every failed-admission resource until
the exact provider cleanup proves ownership was released.
- Keep failed-admission cleanup alive with bounded backoff until the
provider exits. Do not scrub credentials or admit a replacement while
cleanup still owns the provider.
- Use one runtime-host cleanup-owner registry and preserve sequential
cleanup retries across command timeouts and shutdown.
- Arm a credential-free same-group watchdog before provider admission so
guardian death reaps even a stopped provider; retain an independent
kernel EOF proof before releasing credentials.
- Add sidecar process, lifecycle, location, package, driver, credential,
installation, runtime-adapter, and runtime-host regression tests.
- Add `tsx` as a package test-only development dependency for the real
TypeScript sidecar process test.
## Verification
- Replay base: `b93ad538b63c81a1e3d24bbb54c02f8effdea787` (`master`

- `packages/paperclip-runner/test/acpx-codex-package-contract.test.mjs`
- The resolved combined delta is 4,725 additions and 665 deletions; it
preserves the lower-PR runtime-close semantics, repairs stale
successful-admission fixtures, deterministically observes renewed
reconciliation, accepts authoritative same-host cleanup recovery without
dropping pending owners, ignores superseded cleanup failures after a
newer owner recovers, and requires both guardian exit and independent
provider-lifetime EOF before releasing cleanup or credential ownership.
A readiness-gated, credential-free watchdog also reaps a stopped
provider if its guardian is externally killed.
- This change updates the runner package manifest, README, and test-only
dependencies. It does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a workflow,
migration, server route, UI path, runnerd selection, or current
direct-adapter behavior.
- Focused GitHub verification: **PASSED** for the sidecar process,
lifecycle, location, package-contract, driver, credential,
installation-integrity, runtime-adapter, and runtime-host suites on the
replayed head.
- Package verification: **PASSED** for the clean tarball, Node shebang,
and exact binary mapping on the replayed head.
- GitHub Actions and security checks: **PASSED** for the replayed exact
head; full CI run `33357846557` completed 23/23 jobs successfully, and
Superagent, Socket, Snyk, supply-chain, and contributor-trust checks are
green. Storybook was intentionally skipped because this PR does not
touch its paths.
- Greptile: **5/5** on the exact head with zero unresolved review
threads.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for the replayed revision.
## Risks
This change has medium security and lifecycle risk because the new
executable crosses a process, credential, filesystem, and provider
boundary. The sidecar fails closed on unsupported providers, models,
permissions, identities, catalogs, forms, commands, and persistent-state
deletion. A cleanup owner can remain alive until a stubborn provider
exits. Its retries use bounded backoff, and admission stays closed while
ownership remains. Command and shutdown waits remain bounded without
abandoning the underlying cleanup. The new `tsx` dependency is
development-only. The package exposes a new binary, but no runnerd,
server, UI, or direct-adapter path starts it in this pull request.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner maps provider questions to one versioned Paperclip
contract.
> - Codex and ACPX now perform that mapping through separate adapters.
> - Separate adapter tests do not prove that both paths preserve the
same user-visible form.

answers and unsupported patterns.
> - This pull request adds shared fixtures, validation, and
cross-adapter conformance checks.
> - The benefit is a reusable question contract for later providers
without enabling a new runtime.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12408
This pull request builds on the Codex ACPX question bridge merged in
#12408. It adds fixture and generator checks for the existing Codex and
ACPX question adapters. It does not add another provider or production
execution path.
## What Changed
- Add a canonical ACPX form fixture and native response. Mark the
equivalent Codex fixture field as required.
- Add shared validation for question IDs, option IDs, answer modes,
required answers, text bounds, numeric bounds, and response shapes.
- Evaluate fixture-only regular expressions in a bounded child process.
Reject patterns that cannot finish safely.
- Validate ACPX fixtures against a manifest-side mirror of the
production form projection. Reject free-text ACPX patterns, but ignore
patterns on enumerated option fields.
- Accept explicit empty optional answers and omit them from the
projected ACPX response, which matches the production parser.
- Validate every question fixture during manifest generation and
regenerate the checked-in manifest.
- Add cross-adapter tests that compare user-visible presentation while
preserving provider-owned IDs and provider-specific response conversion.
- Add negative regressions for malformed forms, invalid responses,
unsafe patterns, special property names, and projection drift.

## Risks
This change has low runtime risk because it changes fixtures, generator
validation, generated metadata, and tests only. Fixture pattern checks
run in a child process with a one-second timeout and a bounded output
buffer. The ACPX gate intentionally rejects free-text patterns because
the production adapter has no bounded expression engine. It
intentionally permits an explicit empty optional answer because
production omits that answer from the native response. A validation
mismatch can block manifest generation, but it cannot change server
selection, direct adapters, or task-page behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12407
This pull request builds on the settled Codex ACPX recovery path merged
in #12407. It adds only package-local structured-question support for
Codex ACPX sessions.
## What Changed
- Enable ACPX form elicitation for the Codex runtime and pass its
handler through the runtime host boundary.
- Normalize ACPX forms to `paperclip.question_set.v1` and emit
`paperclip.runtime_request.v2` events.
- Validate `paperclip.question_response.v1` resolutions before
conversion to ACP form responses.
- Support explicit resolution and durable handoff. Cancel pending
requests on provider abort, stream failure, turn settlement, and session
close.
- Limit each session to 16 pending requests. Reject unsupported input
modes, regular expression patterns, session-wide acceptance, stale
turns, and late responses.
- Fail closed under bounded event-queue pressure: cancel an input whose
creation event cannot be retained, and preserve a live request when its
durable-handoff event cannot be retained.
- Persist pending-request facts in snapshots and reject recovery while a
provider request is still pending.
- Add focused driver, runtime-adapter, and runtime-host regression tests
for round trips, aborts, stream failures, handoff, and handler
forwarding.

## Risks
This change has medium package-local risk because it connects
provider-owned input to durable runner state. Unsupported modes and
unbounded patterns fail closed. The pending-request limit bounds
retained provider state. Provider abort, turn settlement, stream
failure, and session close cancel live questions. A durable handoff
expires the request before it interrupts the turn. Recovery rejects a
snapshot that still contains a pending provider request. Existing direct
adapters, server selection, and task-page behavior do not use this
route.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12406
This pull request builds on the Codex ACPX backend route merged in
#12406. It adds only settled-session recovery and the package-local
durability and filesystem checks that recovery requires.
## What Changed
- Add settled-session recovery to the Codex ACPX harness driver and
advertise resume support for that bounded path.
- Keep provider recovery on the same persisted ACPX session. Do not
permit a replacement provider session.
- Require persisted run, normalized session, provider, profile,
workspace, permission, result, terminal, and recovery-policy identities
to agree.
- Reopen the provider with the exact persisted ACPX identity and reject
provider or qualification drift.
- Restore the last source sequence, terminal history, semantic result,
provider recovery policy, and normalized terminal fact before new work
can start.
- Clear a stale active-turn marker only when durable terminal history
proves that exact turn settled.
- Reject active-turn recovery when durable history cannot prove
provider-turn continuity.
- Require a semantic result to belong to the latest completed terminal
settlement.
- Reject an older completed semantic result when a later identical retry
failed or was interrupted.
- Reject resultless recovery unless the latest terminal turn completed
successfully.
- Bound terminal history and semantic-result recovery by entry count,
aggregate bytes, fingerprint bytes, node count, and nesting depth before
cloning or serializing persisted data.
- Read the private workspace record through pinned namespace,
runtime-root, record, and workspace identities.
- Reject symbolic links, substituted directories, replaced records,
invalid files, root workspaces, and workspace changes during admission.
- Keep the recovery workspace lease pinned and revalidate it at the host
and provider-spawn boundaries.
- Retain and close a workspace lease that resolves after cancellation.
Close a partially recovered provider session if lease cleanup fails.
- Stage a valid isolated Codex credential in the runtime-open-boundary
regression so the test reaches and proves the intended workspace
revalidation fence.
- Add focused recovery tests for settled checkpoints, terminal
ownership, stale semantic results, active turns, identity drift, bounded
persisted data, cancellation, directory substitution, record
replacement, and spawn-boundary workspace replacement.

## Risks
This change has medium package-local risk because it admits persisted
state back into a provider session. Recovery fails closed when an active
provider turn has no matching terminal fingerprint, when a semantic
result is not owned by the latest completed settlement, when any durable
identity changes, or when the workspace cannot remain pinned through
provider spawn. Recovery never selects a replacement provider session.
Bounds prevent oversized or deeply nested persisted state from consuming
unbounded work before validation. The workspace lease prevents path
substitution during recovery admission. Existing direct adapters and the
Codex app-server driver do not use this ACPX recovery route. This change
does not add a migration, dependency, lockfile update, workflow, server
route, UI surface, public export, or production rollout flag.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12405
This pull request builds on the Codex ACPX harness driver merged in
#12405. It adds only the package-local backend factory route for that
driver.
## What Changed
- Add an internal Codex ACPX native backend constructor.
- Require provider kind `acpx` and agent `codex` at the
provider-specific boundary.
- Resolve the qualified Codex ACPX profile for the requested model.
- Compare the persisted driver kind, protocol version, ACPX version,
agent profile, package versions, runtime package fields, and command
digest with the qualified profile.
- Compose the existing native system instructions and task constraints
for the Codex ACPX driver.
- Route qualified Codex ACPX inputs through the native backend factory
only when the caller supplies an explicit instance runtime directory.
- Pass the scoped environment, managed credential source, dynamic tools,
and ACPX tool handler through the factory boundary.
- Keep Pi, Claude, OpenCode, managed Claude, AgentCore, and every other
deferred ACPX agent unavailable.
- Add factory tests for qualified construction, the explicit
runtime-root requirement, unsupported ACPX agents, and
qualification-snapshot drift.
- Keep ACPX construction lazy. Reading the backend descriptor does not
start ACPX transport or a provider process.
## Verification
- Replay base: `74aabb7ea6c5cf373f2254e5f854a5233b745ddc` (`master`
after #12405 merged).
- Exact replay head: `827090a0cff870eedb99fa1b5cfda8bb87efa515`.

## Risks
This change has low package-local runtime risk. It adds a new branch to
the native backend factory, but no server or runnerd factory selects an
ACPX execution in this pull request. The route fails closed when the
runtime directory is absent, the agent is not Codex, or the persisted
qualification snapshot differs from the qualified Codex profile. The
constructor repeats the provider-kind and agent checks as a second
boundary. Existing direct adapters do not use this route. The change
does not add a migration, dependency, lockfile update, workflow, UI
surface, public export, or production rollout flag.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12404
**Subsystem affected**
This change affects `packages/paperclip-runner`, the Codex ACPX driver,
and the provider-neutral native session runtime.
**Problem or motivation**
The package has an admitted Codex ACPX session, bounded turn control,
and authenticated semantic tools. It does not have a `HarnessDriver`
implementation that joins those parts and emits canonical PRP events. It
also needs bounded ownership for provider cleanup that settles after a
caller-facing timeout. Cancellation can win after the host schedules
runtime admission and transfers the staged credential but before the
adapter body starts; that rejected admission must still prove that
provider cleanup is complete so the credential can be scrubbed and later
admission can proceed. Separately, an external close that coalesces onto
an exhausted autonomous reconciliation must not lose its cleanup intent
if that exact protocol or provider-process cleanup fails.
**Proposed solution**
Add a Codex-only harness driver. It opens the admitted host, executes
one active turn, normalizes ACPX events, dispatches run-scoped tools,
and commits one schema-valid completion or blocked result. It provides
bounded event storage, interruption, transcripts, usage, snapshots,
diagnostics, and ordered close behavior. The native session runtime
quarantines incomplete cleanup before another session can enter the same
cleanup domain. The ACPX adapter records the immutable origin and
attempt number of each exact close attempt. Autonomous reconciliation
failures stay inside the three-attempt budget of the generation that
created them. External callers that join an attempt are represented by
one idempotent batched intent: success consumes it, failure on an
earlier attempt uses the remaining same-generation retries, and failure
on the exhausted final attempt creates exactly one new bounded
generation. Both direct and late protocol/provider cleanup outcomes use
the same rule. At the adapter entry boundary, an already-aborted
admission transfers an already-complete cleanup proof before rethrowing
the exact abort reason; the host retains credential cleanup until that
proof settles.
**Alternatives considered**
The multi-provider integration driver was not copied because it mixes
deferred providers and recovery behavior into the Codex path. Direct
server registration was also deferred because this package slice must
remain inactive and independently safe. Relabeling a coalesced
autonomous attempt as external was rejected because it would let
observers replenish retry budgets; starting another protocol close
before the exact retained attempt settles was rejected because it would
overlap cleanup ownership.
**Roadmap alignment**
This is package-local production hardening for the experimental runner.
It does not enable a new adapter or change current agent execution
selection.
## What Changed
- Add a Codex-only ACPX `HarnessDriver` and session implementation.
- Advertise only implemented capabilities. Keep resume, steering,
runtime request resolution, runtime request handoff, goals, and thread
lineage unavailable.
- Emit canonical PRP turn, transcript, tool execution, final reply,
result, failure, interruption, and usage facts.
- Dispatch authorized dynamic tools through the authenticated semantic
bridge.
- Validate and commit one completion or blocked result with disposition
and conflict checks.
- Add stable bounded event identities, one-active-turn admission,
terminal capacity reservation, and bounded interruption.
- Redact authorization credentials from emitted events and retained
transcripts.
- Add read, reconcile, transcript, usage, snapshot, status,
interruption, and ordered close surfaces.
- Retain and quarantine host cleanup that outlives a caller-facing close
bound.
- Gate new native-session admission on prior cleanup in the same cleanup
domain.
- Preserve durable success and governed waits while provider cleanup
continues under bounded ownership.
- Transfer a completed cleanup proof when cancellation wins before the
Codex adapter body, then preserve the caller's exact abort reason.
- Add a host-level regression proving staged credentials are scrubbed,
the credential lease can be reacquired, and a later runtime admission
succeeds after that pre-entry abort.
- Tag each exact ACPX close attempt with an immutable external or
reconciliation origin and immutable reconciliation attempt number.
- Keep timed-out autonomous reconciliation failures inside their
originating three-attempt budget.
- Batch concurrent external callers that join one reconciliation attempt
so they cannot mint independent generations.
- Consume a joined external intent on successful cleanup and on an
earlier failed attempt that still has same-generation retries.
- Renew exactly one bounded generation when a joined external intent
reaches a failed, exhausted final reconciliation attempt.
- Treat both protocol-close and provider-process cleanup failures as
failed intent settlement, including non-timeout and timed-out late
paths.
- Prevent a coalescing external observer from relabeling an immutable
autonomous attempt.
- Reset the finite reconciliation budget only for a distinct external
late-failure generation or one failed batched intent on an exhausted
final attempt.
- Isolate persistent-cleanup tests by cleanup domain and attach expected
rejection handlers before fake timers release them.
- Stabilize cleanup-settlement assertions exposed by GitHub Actions:
observe retained proofs without relying on callback order, wait for the
credential lease release rather than only the preceding credential-file
deletion, and use a supported scalar size assertion instead of an
unavailable Set matcher.
- Add focused tests for driver behavior, event validation, bounded
buffers, cleanup quarantine, admission gating, immutable attempt
origins, final-attempt intent batching, direct and late cleanup
failures, late success consumption, bounded reconciliation, exact
pre-entry cancellation, credential recovery, and durable native-session
outcomes.

## Risks
This change has medium package-local risk. It adds a new driver and
changes native-session cleanup coordination. A lagging event consumer
could otherwise lose terminal state. The driver reserves terminal
capacity and rejects new work when bounded storage cannot safely accept
it. A stalled, rejected, or late provider close could otherwise overlap
a new session, retain credentials indefinitely, lose an external cleanup
request, or consume unlimited retries. Cleanup-proof transfer keeps the
staged credential owned across the pre-entry abort race, while the host
scrubs it only after the adapter proves that no provider resource
exists. Cleanup quarantine blocks conflicting admission and keeps exact
attempts owned. Immutable attempt origins and attempt numbers prevent
autonomous retries and coalesced observers from silently replenishing
the cap. One batched external intent can renew one generation only after
the exhausted final attempt fails; earlier failures remain within the
original generation, and success consumes the intent. Each renewed
generation remains capped at three autonomous attempts. The driver
reports recovery and other unimplemented capabilities as unavailable. No
server or runnerd factory selects this driver in this pull request.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12403
**Subsystem affected**
This change affects `packages/paperclip-runner` and its package-local
Codex ACPX runtime boundary.
**Problem or motivation**
The package has an authenticated semantic MCP bridge and an admitted
Codex ACPX session. The two components are not connected. A direct
connection must not persist the bridge token. It must not allow
unrelated MCP operations. The deny-all mode must remain closed for
runner-owned MCP requests.
**Proposed solution**
The runtime host starts one loopback bridge when semantic tools are
configured. It passes an ephemeral bearer binding to ACPX. The adapter
projects that binding into the ACP runtime configuration. It sends each
permission request through the existing ACPX permission policy. The
deny-all mode rejects every request. Other requests either receive the
policy result or delegate to an available coordinator.
**Alternatives considered**
Persisting MCP configuration with the ACPX session was rejected because
it would retain authentication material. A global MCP endpoint was
rejected because it would weaken run isolation.
**Roadmap alignment**
This is package-local hardening for the existing experimental runner
work. It does not enable a new user-facing adapter.
## What Changed
- Start and own one authenticated semantic MCP bridge when a host
receives semantic tool options.
- Pass one ephemeral loopback MCP binding to the Codex ACPX adapter.
- Keep the bridge token out of the persisted environment and ACPX
session options.
- Map the runner-owned HTTP MCP binding into ACPX runtime configuration
with a bearer header.
- Apply the existing ACPX permission policy to runtime permission
requests.
- Keep the deny-all mode closed for runner-owned MCP requests.
- Delegate only the permission decisions that require a coordinator.
- Revoke the tool bridge after the runtime close attempt settles,
including when runtime close fails.
- Release staged credentials only after the exact runtime close
succeeds.
- Add focused host and adapter tests for bridge dispatch, secret
isolation, fail-closed permissions, delegation, and cleanup.
## Verification

## Risks
The main risk is secret or permission leakage at the ACP boundary. The
host passes the bearer token only in ephemeral runtime configuration. It
does not put the token in the persisted environment or ACPX session
options. The existing permission policy controls every ACPX permission
request. The deny-all mode rejects runner-owned MCP requests too.
Another risk is partial cleanup. The host revokes the tool bridge after
the runtime close attempt settles. It retains staged credentials if the
exact runtime close fails. This pull request stays inside the runner
package and does not select the experimental runner in the server.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12402
**What would you like to improve?**
The package-local ACPX host stops at session admission. A later driver
needs to submit a prompt, consume typed ACP events, wait for the
terminal result, cancel work, and close the session. Passing the full
third-party runtime through the host would bypass the existing trust and
cleanup boundary.
**Why is this important?**
Provider prompts can be large. Turn identifiers participate in durable
correlation. Concurrent turns can make replay and cancellation
ambiguous. Shutdown must also stop an active prompt before credentials
and verified command resources are released. A provider that does not
finish cancellation must not block all remaining cleanup indefinitely.
**Suggested approach**
Add a minimal turn interface to the admitted runtime port. Accept one
prompt turn at a time. Bound the request identity and text before the
runtime sees them. Map the call to ACPX prompt mode with the admitted
session handle. Track the active turn and request cancellation before
ordered runtime cleanup. Bound the cancellation wait. Continue runtime
and command cleanup after that timeout. Release staged credentials only
after the exact runtime close succeeds.
**Additional context**
This pull request builds on #12402. It does not attach semantic tools,
normalize provider events, create a harness driver, start runnerd,
register production execution, or change server, UI, or direct-adapter
behavior.
## What Changed
- Add a narrow ACPX turn input and result and event lifecycle to the
admitted runtime port.
- Map prompt turns to the exact persistent ACPX session handle.
- Support abort signals without adding steering or attachments.
- Reject empty, whitespace-normalized, or oversized request identities.
- Reject prompt text larger than one MiB before third-party code
executes.
- Permit only one active turn per host.
- Clear the active turn only after the canonical ACPX result settles.
- Reject new turns as soon as shutdown starts.
- Cancel an active turn before runtime, credential, and command cleanup.
- Bound the cancellation wait to two seconds.
- Continue runtime and command cleanup when turn cancellation fails or
reaches its timeout.
- Release staged credentials only after the exact runtime close
succeeds.
- Keep the cancellation handle and credential lease when runtime cleanup
remains retryable.
- Coalesce concurrent close calls and report all cleanup failures in one
aggregate error.
- Add focused host and adapter tests for turn mapping, bounds,
concurrency, cancellation, timeout cleanup, credential retention, and
late-turn rejection.

- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this revision.
## Risks
The primary risk is ambiguous concurrent execution. The host admits only
one active turn and releases that slot from the canonical ACPX terminal
result. Another risk is partial shutdown. The host requests cancellation
first and waits for at most two seconds. It then attempts runtime and
command cleanup even if cancellation fails or reaches the timeout. It
releases staged credentials only after the exact runtime close succeeds.
If runtime cleanup fails, the host keeps the cancellation handle and
credentials for a later cleanup attempt. This pull request does not
register the runtime for production use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native providers can receive only the semantic operations authorized
for one run.
> - Codex ACP consumes those operations through an MCP endpoint.
> - The endpoint must be private, authenticated, bounded, and
deterministic under retries.
> - It must not advertise runner-private operations or allow callers to
replace terminal-result schemas.
> - This pull request adds a provider-neutral loopback MCP bridge with
those controls.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What would you like to improve?**
The runner has a run-scoped semantic catalog and dispatcher, but the
ACPX runtime needs a secure transport for that catalog. A generic local
MCP server could expose extra operations, accept ambiguous tool
definitions, or execute the same call twice after a retry.
**Why is this important?**
Semantic tool presence is part of the authorization boundary.
Undiscoverable operations must remain unavailable. Terminal completion
and blocked-result schemas must not be replaceable. Duplicate call
identities must be idempotent, and conflicting duplicates must fail
closed.
**Suggested approach**
Bind one MCP endpoint to `127.0.0.1` for each admitted runtime. Require
a random bearer secret. Compile the closed tool schemas before
listening. Keep private operations out of `tools/list`. Validate and
fingerprint each call before dispatch. Bound request size, result size,
time, and retained call identities. Abort active operations on timeout,
cancellation, or bridge close.
**Additional context**
#12401 is merged. This PR does not attach the bridge to ACPX, register a
provider, or change any server or direct-adapter behavior.
## What Changed
- Add a provider-neutral runner semantic MCP bridge bound only to IPv4
loopback.
- Require constant-time bearer authentication before MCP operations.
- Expose only the supplied public catalog plus fixed completion and
blocked-result tools.
- Keep runner-private operations callable by trusted extensions but
absent from discovery.
- Reject invalid names, duplicate definitions, public/private
collisions, and terminal schema replacement.
- Compile JSON Schema validators before accepting traffic.
- Validate calls before dispatch and replay identical duplicate
identities exactly once.
- Treat numeric and string JSON-RPC identities as distinct and reject
conflicting duplicates.
- Bound request bodies, result text, timeouts, retained identities, and
concurrent capacity.
- Terminate oversized request bodies, preserve successful mutation
outcomes, and keep complete semantic results.
- Propagate MCP cancellation and abort active calls during close.

## Risks
The main risk is widening model-visible authority. The bridge exposes
only its closed public catalog and fixed terminal tools; private
operations are omitted from discovery and catalog ambiguity fails during
startup. Another risk is duplicate execution after a provider retry. The
bridge fingerprints each admitted JSON-RPC identity, reuses the first
promise for exact retries, and rejects changed payloads. The endpoint
uses loopback plus a per-runtime bearer secret and has no production
caller in this pull request.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Codex through the exact ACPX and Codex ACP packages landed in #12400.
**Why this adapter is useful**
The package-local runtime host has an injected port, but no production
implementation. This implementation uses the verified executable lease
and private runtime sandbox without persisting managed credentials or
other launch-only state in ACPX recovery records.
**How the agent is invoked**
The adapter creates one persistent ACPX Codex session. ACPX receives a
placeholder registry command, while its patched spawn callback launches
through Paperclip's verified command lease. The private launch
environment is supplied only at spawn time. Durable session state
receives only the session key, workspace, model, and bounded system
instructions.
**Additional context**
#12400 is merged. This PR does not register an adapter, start runnerd,
expose a server route, or change any direct adapter. It supports Codex
only, rejects non-Codex profiles, and fails closed on Windows until
provider descendants can be contained with an owned Job Object or
equivalent.
## What Changed
- Add a Codex-only adapter from the pinned ACPX library to the admitted
runtime port.
- Create the ACPX store inside the private runtime state directory.
- Open one persistent session with the qualified model and bounded
system instructions.
- Route provider launches through the verified executable lease and a
dedicated POSIX process group.
- Retain cleanup ownership through asynchronous errors and late
termination.
- Supply the private launch environment at spawn time without persisting
it.
- Require all ACPX recovery identity fields before returning the runtime
port.
- Map status, exact model selection, and state-preserving close
operations.
- Add regression coverage for secret isolation, verified spawning,
process-tree cleanup, lifecycle mapping, identity failure, and the
Codex-only boundary.
## Verification
- Exact verified head: `dc89439d0b2e3dee46d212715caeefc8ae0c0959`.

workflows, migrations, server selection, or UI behavior.
- No additional local suite was run during the final restack; GitHub
Actions is the authoritative verification environment.
## Risks
The primary risk is leaking launch credentials into durable ACPX state.
Session options are constructed explicitly and regression-tested; the
launch environment remains behind the spawn-time callback. Another risk
is orphaning credential-bearing descendants. Supported launches use a
retained POSIX process-group identity with bounded TERM-to-KILL cleanup.
Windows fails closed before runtime construction until equivalent
process-tree containment exists.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Codex through `acpx@0.13.1` and `@agentclientprotocol/codex-acp@1.6.2`.
**Why this adapter is useful**
The injected runtime host needs a concrete ACP session manager and the
exact reviewed Codex ACP server. Upstream ACPX does not yet expose a
host-owned spawn callback, and upstream Codex ACP does not yet apply
Paperclip's isolated instruction, MCP, app, memory, and skill boundary.
Both behaviors are required before the dependency can execute inside the
runner.
**How the agent is invoked**
The next pull request will adapt these pinned packages to the private
runtime host. ACPX receives a host-owned callback that consumes the
already verified executable lease. Codex receives only the isolated
environment, explicit base instructions, explicit MCP servers, and the
skills rooted in its private `CODEX_HOME`. This pull request alone does
not spawn either package or register an adapter.
**Additional context**
This pull request is stacked on #12399. It adds no Pi, Claude, AWS, SDK,
lab, browser, or UI dependency. It intentionally does not commit
`pnpm-lock.yaml`: the repository policy job regenerates a manifest-only
PR lockfile artifact for downstream frozen installs, and the lockfile
bot updates master separately.
## What Changed
- Pin `acpx` to `0.13.1` and the Codex ACP server to `1.6.2` in the
runner package.
- Register both patches in the pnpm 9 root configuration and newer-pnpm
workspace configuration.
- Preserve the existing embedded-Postgres and ACPX 0.12 patch entries
used by other packages.
- Patch ACPX to evaluate an allowlisted environment at child-spawn time
and keep spawn cwd out of provider-visible session identity.
- Patch ACPX to accept a host-owned spawn callback with the resolved
arguments and options, allowing the verified command lease to own
execution.
- Patch Codex ACP to retain runner-owned MCP server identity in
permission requests.
- Patch Codex ACP to pass explicit Paperclip base instructions on both
start and resume.
- In isolated mode, disable ambient apps, memory, and existing MCP
configuration; load skills only from `CODEX_HOME`; and configure only
requested servers.
- Add a package contract test that enforces exact versions, Codex-only
dependency scope, both pnpm patch registries, and every required patch
hook.
## Verification
- Both patch files dry-apply successfully to fresh published tarballs
for `acpx@0.13.1` and `@agentclientprotocol/codex-acp@1.6.2`.
- A local no-lockfile install applied both patches; their runtime
markers and exact installed versions were inspected.
- Runner TypeScript typecheck — passed against the patched packages.
- Runner package tests — passed: 16 Node protocol/package tests and 426
Vitest tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed, including runner binary, server, UI, and
workspace packages.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- The diff contains 6 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a
GitHub workflow, server selection, or UI behavior.
## Risks
The primary risk is drift between published package contents and
checked-in compiled patches. Exact versions are pinned, both patches are
exercised by package-contract gates, and CI performs the authoritative
regenerated-lockfile frozen install. The spawn callback does not grant a
new executable path: the following adapter must consume the opaque
verified command lease. Codex isolation changes activate only when
`PAPERCLIP_ACPX_ISOLATED_CONTEXT=1`, so existing direct Codex adapters
are unaffected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
The qualified Pi, Claude, and Codex ACPX profiles; Codex additionally
uses the managed credential lease.
**Why this adapter is useful**
The runner needs one owner for startup ordering, immutable identity
checks, exact model verification, and cleanup. Otherwise a failure after
credential staging or command admission can leave secret files or
executable leases alive, and a resumed provider can attach to a
different profile, workspace, model, or permission mode.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later dependency-adapter pull request will implement the injected
runtime port with the pinned ACPX library. This host passes that adapter
an opaque verified command lease, canonical workspace, private state
directory, profile-bound session key, qualified permission policy,
launch-only environment, and bounded instructions. It does not expose
the runtime directly or add a user-selectable adapter.
**Additional context**
This pull request is stacked on #12398. Installation verification has a
production default; only the third-party runtime opener is injected.
Tests use a fake port so this boundary remains package-local and
dependency-free.
## What Changed
- Add a minimal ACP runtime port for identity, status, model selection,
and bounded shutdown.
- Derive the qualified profile and canonical recovery binding before any
provider startup.
- Reject expected-identity drift and irrelevant managed-Codex inputs
before opening the provider.
- Verify that even an injected installation result matches the closed
profile digest.
- Prepare the private sandbox and stage Codex credentials only for the
Codex profile.
- Acquire an opaque verified command lease and pass only the composed
launch boundary to the runtime port.
- Apply the canonical permission policy and collision-resistant provider
session key.
- Select and verify the exact effective model before returning an
admitted host.
- Create a strict versioned identity record and compare resumed provider
identifiers with the expected record.
- Keep the runtime private and expose only cloned identity, binding,
runtime-root, and persistence-safe environment views.
- On startup or shutdown failure, attempt runtime close, credential
cleanup, and command-lease cleanup in order and aggregate every error.
- Add tests for Codex secret isolation, Claude selector verification,
recovery drift, injected digest drift, partial-start cleanup, and
cleanup retry.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript typecheck — passed.
- Runner protocol and TypeScript tests — passed: 12 protocol tests and
426 Vitest tests, including 6 runtime-host tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed, including runner binary, server, UI, and
workspace packages.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` — passed.
- The diff contains 2 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a
workflow, a dependency, a public package export, server selection, or UI
behavior.
## Risks
The main risk is leaking a partially admitted resource when a later
admission step fails. Resource acquisition is linear and all failure
paths use the same ordered cleanup routine. The runtime port is
deliberately minimal and privately owned by the host; it cannot bypass
profile, model, recovery, sandbox, credential, or command admission. The
actual ACPX implementation and its process-supervision behavior remain a
separate review unit.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
The qualified Codex ACPX profile.
**Why this adapter is useful**
Managed installations may already have a Codex login document, while
service deployments may provide an API key or inline JSON. The runner
needs all three modes without copying ambient home state, accepting
ambiguous sources, persisting secret values in ordinary runner state,
following links, or allowing concurrent processes to mutate the same
credential home.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later runtime-host pull request acquires this credential lease before
opening Codex and closes it during shutdown and failed-start paths. API
keys remain launch-only environment values. JSON credentials are
atomically staged as `auth.json` inside the isolated Codex home. This
pull request does not spawn Codex, add a dependency, register an
adapter, or change execution selection.
**Additional context**
This is the lowest unmerged PR in the runner series and targets `master`
directly. It deliberately requires one explicit credential source and
never reads the Paperclip server user's ambient home by default.
## What Changed
- Add one-use managed Codex credential leases for API-key, inline-JSON,
and explicit managed-file modes.
- Reject missing and ambiguous source combinations.
- Require absolute external managed-file paths, private ownership and
permissions on POSIX, bounded documents, no-follow opens, and stable
file identity during reads.
- Stage JSON through a deterministic private no-follow staging path,
scrub stale staging state on admission, sync the file, rename
atomically, and sync the parent directory.
- Persist a bounded cleanup intent and remove staged or
provider-generated authentication files without following links.
- Fence each canonical credential home with a markerless 2-of-3
exclusive loopback quorum derived from the current UID and canonical
home. One unrelated occupied candidate is tolerated; two occupied
candidates fail closed before credential mutation.
- Bound stuck parent filesystem operations and cleanup helpers
process-wide so an unresponsive filesystem cannot create unbounded work.
- Zero temporary credential buffers and make cleanup retryable without
allowing a stale cleanup generation to affect a successor.
- Add focused tests for credential modes, permissions, malformed and
ambiguous sources, symlink rejection, deterministic staging, quorum
contention and crash release, stuck-operation bounds, and idempotent
cleanup.
## Verification
- Prettier and `git diff --check` passed for the exact pushed head.
- Greptile reviewed the exact head at 5/5 with no blocking finding;
independent static audits found no remaining correctness, security,
test-contract, or resource-bound blocker.
- GitHub Actions passed on the exact head
`29e75afb7b8529b9d070070e0c1462e795d115bb`, including Build, Typecheck,
the complete test matrix, e2e, verify, and security checks. One
unrelated hosted-runner `npm ENOENT` shard passed on its GitHub rerun.
- The diff contains 2 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`,
workflows, dependencies, public package exports, server selection, or UI
behavior.
## Risks
The primary risks are credential disclosure, concurrent ownership, and
cleanup that outlives its authority. Secret values never enter returned
identity or durable runner data. Source and destination operations are
bounded, no-follow, privately permissioned, and crash-durable. The
markerless kernel quorum prevents concurrent home mutation without
trusting a replaceable marker, while process-global operation/helper
caps prevent unresponsive filesystem work from growing without bound.
Cleanup is generation-scoped so a stale retry cannot remove a
successor's credential.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
The qualified Pi, Claude, and Codex ACPX profiles.
**Why this adapter is useful**
Each agent expects different home and configuration variables, but none
should inherit the Paperclip server user's general home, provider
credentials for another agent, or unrelated process secrets. Runtime
recovery also needs stable non-secret paths without persisting API keys,
OAuth tokens, proxy credentials, or MCP bootstrap tickets.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later runtime-host pull request will prepare this sandbox, then pass
its frozen launch environment and private directories to a verified ACPX
command lease. This pull request does not spawn an agent, add
dependencies, register an adapter, or alter server execution selection.
**Additional context**
This pull request is stacked on #12395. It uses that pull request's
canonical workspace and collision-resistant runtime binding. All
filesystem and environment behavior remains package-local.
## What Changed
- Create a normalized session root beneath the private `acpx` runtime
namespace.
- Create isolated home, configuration, data, cache, state, and
agent-specific directories with mode `0700`.
- Reject symbolic links, non-directory paths, namespace escapes, and
non-normalized roots.
- Write the canonical workspace record and Pi trust settings atomically
through exclusive no-follow temporary files with mode `0600`.
- Give Pi, Claude, and Codex only their qualified home and isolation
variables.
- Reuse the existing per-agent environment allowlist for launch-time
credentials and bound the final environment size.
- Return a separate persistence-safe environment containing only stable
paths, locale values, and non-secret agent flags.
- Explicitly exclude provider credentials, proxy URLs, MCP URLs, and MCP
tokens from the persisted projection.
- Add table-driven tests for all three agents, file modes, state
contents, secret splitting, idempotence, and symbolic-link rejection.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript typecheck — passed.
- Runner protocol and TypeScript tests — passed: 12 protocol tests and
413 Vitest tests, including 5 runtime-sandbox tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed, including runner binary, server, UI, and
workspace packages.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` — passed.
- The diff contains 2 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a
workflow, a dependency, a public package export, server selection, or UI
behavior.
## Risks
The main risks are following attacker-controlled filesystem aliases or
persisting a credential under an unexpected variable name. Every created
path is checked against its physical parent, the session root must
already be absolute and normalized, temporary files use exclusive
no-follow opens, and the persisted projection is a positive allowlist
rather than a credential-name blacklist. The launch environment remains
available only in memory and is bounded before use.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Durable sessions for qualified Pi, Claude, and Codex ACP servers through
the internal ACPX driver.
**Why this adapter is useful**
The runner must prevent a persisted provider session from being reused
with another workspace, model, permission policy, profile, or normalized
session. It must also distinguish normalized session names that sanitize
to the same pathname.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later pull request will use this binding when the private ACPX runtime
opens or recovers a session. This pull request does not launch a
process, add a dependency, register an adapter, or change runtime
selection.
**Compatibility boundary**
No ACPX identity writer exists on master or in a shipped runtime. This
pull request establishes the first accepted persisted format. Draft
schema-less records and early-v1 command-digest records cannot prove
every immutable binding and are intentionally rejected; an affected
experimental session must start fresh.
## What Changed
- Resolve real workspace and runtime-directory paths and reject
filesystem roots or non-directories.
- Derive collision-resistant runtime roots and provider session keys.
- Bind the session key to workspace, complete qualified profile, model,
protocol, agent, and permission mode.
- Add a closed v1 ACPX identity record.
- Verify controller identity and persisted identity against every
immutable binding.
- Reject schema-less, early-digest, unknown-version, unknown-field, and
malformed records.
- Add tests for canonical paths, collision resistance, drift,
workspace/session replay, missing policy, malformed records, and unsafe
roots.
## Verification
- GitHub Actions are the authoritative typecheck, test, build, and
integration gate for the final head.
- Greptile, Superagent, and Snyk are required to pass on the final head.
- `git diff --check` passes for the two-file delta.
- The diff does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a workflow, a dependency, a
public export, server selection, migration, or UI behavior.
## Risks
The main risk is accepting an identity under a different immutable
session configuration. Controller and v1 record fields are compared
exactly, including permission mode and the complete qualified-profile
digest. Records that lack workspace/session provenance or use an
obsolete partial digest fail closed. Because no writer for those draft
formats has shipped, requiring a fresh experimental session is safer
than synthesizing missing authority from the current request.

work.

versions.
> - Package metadata alone does not prove which executable will run.
> - A pathname, directory entry, or open inode can still change after
verification.

and retained directories, with ambient loader and package authority

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Internal qualified ACPX profiles. The first production consumer remains
Codex-only in the follow-on dependency and adapter changes.
**Why this adapter is useful**
The runner needs to prove that installed package metadata and executable
bytes match a reviewed profile, then prevent pathname replacement,
symlink escape, host-package lookup, or loader injection from changing
what executes.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later provider-specific adapter requests an opaque one-use command
lease. On Linux, the lease starts Node with a synchronous hook, supplies
the verified entry snapshot over a private pipe, and retains only the
verified package directories needed by that profile. This pull request
does not register an adapter, change runtime selection, or make any
provider user-visible.
**Compatibility boundary**
The launched entry deliberately has a Linux descriptor-backed identity
such as `/proc/self/fd/4/...`; preserving a mutable canonical pathname
would reopen the replacement vulnerability. A provider that requires
canonical `import.meta.url`, `__filename`, or `process.argv[1]` is not
admitted by this primitive until its provider-specific adapter proves
compatibility. Likewise, arbitrary package-manager ancestors are not
retained. Hoisted dependencies must be explicitly qualified by a later
provider-specific layer; otherwise startup fails closed. The initial
production slice is Codex only, not Pi or Claude.
## What Changed
- Verify exact server and optional runtime package versions from bounded
metadata.
- Require one supported relative Node executable and reject ambiguous or
package-escaping paths.
- Canonicalize the command directory and open final components without
following symbolic links.
- Bound and hash the open entry file while checking device, inode, size,
and timestamps around the read.
- Return an opaque installation and one-use launch lease instead of an
executable pathname.
- Reopen and revalidate retained directory and executable identities
when acquiring a lease.
- Load the admitted entry bytes and package-contained modules through
retained Linux descriptors.
- Resolve CommonJS and ESM bare imports only from retained roots, reject
host ancestors, and make symlink escape terminal.
- Open module bytes with `O_NOFOLLOW`, bound each read, recheck
identity, and reject native or unsupported module formats.
- Strip Node, native dynamic-loader, glibc, and OpenSSL injection
variables before spawn.
- Add regressions for replacement races, direct resources, sibling and
ancestor imports, explicit runtime roots, host-ancestor denial,
descendant and final symlinks, bounded reads, and environment injection.
## Verification
- The authoritative GitHub Actions and exact-head Greptile review are
the merge gates for the final head.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` pass for the final two-file diff.
- The diff does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, workflows, dependencies,
public exports, server selection, or UI behavior.
## Risks
The security/compatibility tradeoff is explicit: descriptor identity
prevents a replaced lexical path from supplying resources, but
pathname-sensitive providers require a later adapter-specific
qualification. Unqualified or unsupported dependencies, native addons,
non-Linux launch, and unsupported module formats fail closed. No
production call path reaches this primitive in this pull request.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Qualified Pi, Claude, and Codex ACP servers through the internal ACPX
driver.
**Why this adapter is useful**
The runner must not assume that an ACP session uses the requested model.
It needs a status check, an exact model selection when required, and a
second status check before work can begin.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later pull request will provide the private ACP runtime control behind
this interface. This pull request does not launch a process, add a
dependency, register an adapter, or change runtime selection.
**Additional context**
This pull request is stacked on #12391. Claude's qualified canonical
model is `claude-sonnet-5`, while its pinned ACP server reports the
stable selector `sonnet`.
## What Changed
- Require ACP model status before accepting a qualified runtime.
- Select the exact canonical model when the session reports a stale
default.
- Reapply canonical selection when a qualified profile uses a distinct
ACP selector.
- Fail closed when status, model selection, or the expected reported
selector is unavailable.
- Normalize a verified selector back to the canonical model for
provider-neutral status consumers.
- Add tests for exact, stale, aliased, unavailable, and
ignored-selection cases.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript typecheck — passed.
- Runner TypeScript tests — passed, including 5 new model-verification
tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed, including runner binary, server, UI, and
workspace packages.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` — passed.
- The diff contains 2 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a
workflow, a dependency, a public export, server selection, or UI
behavior.
## Risks
The main risk is treating a provider alias as proof of the requested
model. A distinct selector is accepted only when it is part of the
immutable qualified profile, after the runner sends the exact canonical
model through ACP and performs a second status check. All other
mismatches fail closed.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Qualified Pi, Claude, and Codex ACP servers through the internal ACPX
driver.
**Why this adapter is useful**
ACP providers use permission requests for both ordinary provider
operations and runner-owned semantic operations. Paperclip must apply
`approve-all`, `approve-reads`, or `deny-all` consistently while keeping
semantic authorization bound to structural MCP metadata.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later pull request will install this policy in the private ACPX
runtime host. This pull request does not launch a provider, add a
dependency, register an adapter, or change runtime selection.
**Additional context**
This pull request is stacked on #12390. Pi uses a different bridge and
never receives semantic auto-approval through this ACP permission path.
## What Changed
- Map each ACPX permission mode to a closed runtime policy.
- Decide local allow, reject, or coordinator delegation outcomes.
- Auto-approve only runner-owned semantic MCP calls identified by
structural metadata.
- Ignore provider display titles when determining semantic authority.
- Limit Codex blanket MCP approval to sessions where every configured
MCP server is runner-owned.
- Add table-driven tests for all modes, agents, metadata shapes, spoofed
titles, and non-runner servers.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript typecheck — passed.
- Runner TypeScript tests — passed, including 10 new permission-policy
assertions.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed, including runner binary, server, UI, and
workspace packages.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` — passed.
- The diff contains 2 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a
workflow, a dependency, a public export, server selection, or UI
behavior.
## Risks
The main risk is mistaking a provider-controlled label for an authorized
semantic tool. The implementation ignores display titles and requires a
runner-owned MCP server name, a transport tool name, or provider
metadata. All other `approve-reads` mutations delegate to the
coordinator, and the caller must reject them when no delegate exists.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
Qualified Pi, Claude, and Codex ACP servers through the internal ACPX
driver.
**Why this adapter is useful**
The runner needs a truthful capability descriptor and a closed
configuration boundary before it can create an ACPX session. The
boundary must reject arbitrary commands and unqualified models.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later pull request will implement the private runtime behind this
descriptor. This pull request does not launch a process, add a
dependency, register an adapter, or make ACPX selectable.
**Additional context**
This pull request is stacked on #12389. Pi reports plan events as
unsupported. Claude and Codex report structured plan support.
## What Changed
- Add the ACPX driver descriptor and native runtime-context capability
declaration.
- Add an agent-specific typed event capability matrix.
- Add strict config validation for agent, exact qualified model, and
permission mode.
- Default the permission mode to `approve-all` when the field is absent.
- Reject non-object config, unknown fields, unqualified models, and
unsupported permission values.
- Add table-driven tests for all qualified agents and failure cases.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript typecheck — passed.
- Runner TypeScript tests — passed, including 8 new driver-profile
assertions.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed, including runner binary, server, UI, and
workspace packages.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` — passed.
- The diff contains 2 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a
workflow, a dependency, a public export, server selection, or UI
behavior.
## Risks
The main risk is advertising a capability that a qualified ACP server
cannot supply. The matrix is explicit per agent, and tests cover the one
current difference. Config validation rejects unknown fields so a caller
cannot smuggle an executable or an unsupported runtime setting into this
boundary.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
The internal ACPX sidecar for qualified ACP-compatible providers.
**Why this adapter is useful**
The sidecar must process input frames in order. It must drain accepted
input before shutdown, continue after an ordinary command error, and
reject dependent commands after initialization or session bootstrap
fails.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later pull request will connect this helper to a private sidecar
process. This pull request adds no executable, dependency, adapter
registration, or process launch.
**Additional context**
This pull request is stacked on #12388. The helper remains package-local
and does not affect direct adapters.
## What Changed
- Add a serial asynchronous input queue that remains usable after
operation and diagnostic failures.
- Add ACPX-specific input sequencing around the shared queue.
- Preserve the first `initialize` or `session.open` failure as the
bootstrap cause.
- Produce a deterministic blocked-command error after bootstrap fails.
- Test ordering, EOF-style draining, error isolation, sticky bootstrap
failure, and non-sticky turn failure.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript typecheck — passed.
- Runner TypeScript tests — passed, including 4 new sequencing tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed, including runner binary, server, UI, and
workspace packages.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` — passed.
- The diff contains 3 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a
workflow, a dependency, a public export, server selection, or UI
behavior.
## Risks
The main risk is allowing one failed input operation to reorder or
suppress later input. Each operation runs only after the previous
promise settles. Both operation and diagnostic failures are contained.
Bootstrap failure is recorded separately so an ordinary turn failure
does not disable the sidecar session.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
ACP-compatible providers that use form elicitation.
**Why this adapter is useful**
ACP providers need structured user answers during a turn. Paperclip must
present those questions through its provider-neutral contract so the
existing task experience and validation rules remain consistent.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later pull request will connect this internal adapter to the ACPX
sidecar. This pull request only implements the conversion boundary. It
does not launch ACPX, add a dependency, or enable an adapter.
**Additional context**
This pull request is stacked on #12387. URL elicitation remains
unsupported and returns no form projection.
## What Changed
- Convert bounded ACP string, enum, multi-select, Boolean, number, and
integer fields to `paperclip.question_set.v1`.
- Validate every answer with the existing provider-neutral response
parser before conversion.
- Convert validated answers back to typed ACP form content.
- Bound provider-controlled field and option inventories.
- Use stable question identities and define arbitrary property names
without prototype mutation.
- Keep ACP runtime types and dependencies outside this package-local
conversion boundary.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript typecheck — passed.
- Runner TypeScript tests — 41 files and 367 Vitest tests passed; 12
Node contract tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.

workspace packages.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` — passed.
- The diff contains 2 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a
workflow, a package dependency, a public export, server selection, or UI
behavior.
## Risks
The main risk is accepting an ACP form that cannot be represented safely
by the Paperclip question contract. Unsupported field types fail closed.
Field and option inventories are bounded. The existing question parser
validates all text, selection, numeric, and required-field constraints
before any response returns to ACP.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Agent or provider**
ACPX sidecar support for the qualified Pi, Claude, and Codex ACP
servers.
**Why this adapter is useful**
The runner needs one bounded process boundary for ACP-compatible
providers. A closed profile prevents an untrusted run from selecting an
arbitrary executable, package version, or model.
**How the agent is invoked**
A later pull request will launch an internal sidecar from an exact
profile. This pull request only validates profiles, environment values,
and protocol frames. It does not add an executable dependency or enable
an adapter.
**Additional context**
This pull request is stacked on #12386. It keeps the existing direct
adapters and the Codex runner path unchanged.
## What Changed
- Add a closed profile table for the qualified Pi, Claude, and Codex ACP
servers.
- Require the exact qualified model and return an isolated profile value
to callers.
- Add an agent-specific environment allowlist with entry and aggregate
size limits.
- Add strict parsing for bounded sidecar requests and structured plan
values.
- Reject unknown fields, unsupported protocol versions, invalid
identifiers, null bytes, cyclic values, and oversized input.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript typecheck — passed.
- Runner TypeScript tests — 40 files and 362 Vitest tests passed; 11
Node contract tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed, including runner binary, server, UI, and
workspace packages.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` — passed.
- The diff contains 6 files and does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a
workflow, a package dependency, or a public export.
## Risks
The main risk is accepting more launch state than the sidecar needs. The
implementation uses an agent-specific allowlist, rejects null bytes, and
enforces per-entry and aggregate bounds. This pull request does not
launch a process or expose a new adapter, so production and
direct-adapter behavior remain unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is the first package-local unit in the post-Codex provider series.

The integration branch contains an ACPX provider, but its TypeScript
sidecar and Rust client need a small shared authority before either

implementation directly would mix the protocol, runtime, third-party
dependencies, and production wiring.
**Expected behavior**
The schema defines every ACPX sidecar request, response, event, command,
event type, and protocol version. Generated TypeScript and Rust
inventories must drift-check against that schema. No runtime can select
or execute ACPX yet.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Change the protocol version, command inventory, or event inventory in
the schema.
2. Run the runner protocol type check without regenerating the language
inventories.
3. Observe the drift gate fail.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Stacked on `runner-server-semantic-codex` at `ebd7f9df7`.
## What Changed
- Add the internal ACPX sidecar v2 JSON Schema outside the public PRP v1
schema catalog.
- Generate one TypeScript inventory and one Rust inventory from that
schema.
- Add generate and check hooks to the existing runner protocol-type
workflow.
- Add fail-closed AJV tests for all three message families, version
drift, unknown commands, and extra properties.
- Keep the generated Rust module unregistered until the Rust ACPX
transport exists.
## Compatibility Boundary
- Codex remains the only production runner provider.
- `paperclip_runner` selection and the default-off rollout flag are
unchanged.
- No ACPX package, patch, lockfile, binary entry point, root export,
server file, UI file, workflow, or dependency is added.
- The schema is shipped with the existing `protocol` directory but is
not added to the public PRP manifest.
- Existing direct adapters continue through their current paths.
- Diff against the actual stacked base: 6 files.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript typecheck and both generated-contract drift gates —
passed.
- Runner TypeScript tests — 37 files and 355 Vitest tests passed; 11
Node contract tests passed.
- Rust provider-bridge regression suite after restacking — 14/14 passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed, including runner binary, server, UI, and
workspace packages.
- `pnpm test:run` — attempted; the local host reproduced unrelated
workspace/Postgres and port-exposure failures in unchanged server
suites. The changed runner contract suites pass, and the repository's
serialized/sharded GitHub checks remain authoritative for those
host-sensitive suites.
- Prettier, rustfmt, generated-source drift checks, and `git diff
--check` — passed.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.
## Risks
The main risk is allowing schema and generated language inventories to
diverge. Build and typecheck now fail on any drift. The sidecar
implementation and third-party ACPX packages are deliberately absent, so
this PR cannot alter runtime behavior or expand the production attack
surface.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The hidden native coordinator already computes a run-scoped semantic
tool projection.

command.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the existing flagged Paperclip Runner Codex path.
**Current behavior**
The server creates a run-scoped list of authorized read tools. It does
not pass that list to runnerd, so the production Codex session starts
with no tools.
**Proposed behavior**
The server maps the authorized definitions to the versioned runner
contract. It computes a cross-language catalog digest. It includes that
immutable contract in `run.prepare`.
**Reason and benefit**
Runnerd and the server now enforce the same catalog identity. Unknown,
duplicate, changed, or malformed tool contracts fail before Codex can
use them.
**Breaking changes**
None. Direct adapters are unchanged. A native run with an empty server
projection still starts with no dynamic tools.
## What Changed
- Add a deterministic semantic-definition to runner-authorization
projection.
- Match the Rust canonical digest with a shared test vector.
- Include the server coordinator projection in the native Codex
`run.prepare` command.
- Extend the native Codex vertical slice to require and execute a
semantic tool.
- Verify the production prepare payload in a host-independent server
test.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript` (354
tests pass)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/native-runtime/native-codex-runner.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The embedded-Postgres vertical slice is present for CI. This local
host reports that embedded Postgres is unavailable, so Vitest skips that
host-dependent test locally.
- Confirmed that the PR changes 7 files against
`runner-codex-durable-tools`.
- Confirmed that `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.
## Risks
The main risk is a catalog digest mismatch between TypeScript and Rust.
Both implementations use canonical JSON. They share the same fixed
digest vector. Runnerd also recomputes the digest and rejects a
mismatch.
The rollout flag and the existing native runtime selection rules remain
unchanged.

catalog.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12382
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the durable Codex provider backend in
`@paperclipai/paperclip-runner`.
**Current behavior**
The Codex transport can project authorized dynamic tools. The durable
backend rejects their calls because it cannot persist and recover their
identities.
**Proposed behavior**
The durable backend records each authorized call before it emits the
semantic input event. It records each result before it sends the result
to Codex. It reconciles exact provider replays without another Paperclip
action.
**Reason and benefit**
This order prevents duplicate semantic actions after a process restart.
It also keeps unauthorized, changed, oversized, and late calls closed.
**Breaking changes**
None. A run without an authorized tool catalog still starts Codex with
no dynamic tools.
## What Changed
- Persist the authorized tool catalog with the Codex provider state.
- Emit correlated and redacted semantic input, reconciliation, and
result events.
- Reconcile exact pending and completed calls after a provider restart.
- Reject catalog drift, changed replay input, malformed results, and
unauthorized operations.
- Complete pending tool calls with a durable failure when a turn stops.
- Bound retained tool values and validate recovered state before
provider startup.
- Bind production runner events to the active run, session, turn, and
item identities.
## Verification
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
- `cargo test --workspace`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Confirmed that the PR changes 9 files against
`runner-codex-dynamic-tools`.
- Confirmed that dependency installation did not change
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
The main risk is a mismatch between recovered provider state and the
controller tool catalog. Recovery validates the complete catalog and its
digest before Codex starts. The backend persists a call before it emits
work and persists a result before it returns the result to Codex.
This PR does not enable the server adapter or change any direct adapter
path.

tool authority.

tool catalog.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` and its Rust Codex app-server provider.
**Problem or motivation**
The native runner has a validated semantic tool catalog, but the Rust
Codex provider cannot project that catalog or correlate Codex tool calls
with Paperclip results. A resumed Codex thread also needs the same
run-scoped catalog.
**Proposed solution**
Add an explicit Codex start path that accepts validated tools. Send
those tools through `dynamicTools` for both thread start and thread
resume. Validate thread, turn, call, operation, result identity, and
size before data crosses the provider boundary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the shipped governed MCP Tool Gateway and
self-healing run milestones. It does not add a user-facing adapter or
enable the experimental runner.
## What Changed
- Add a Codex dynamic-tool projection for explicit authorized tool sets.
- Advertise the same tool set on new and resumed provider threads.
- Correlate bounded Codex tool calls and Paperclip semantic results.
- Reject calls outside the active thread or turn, unadvertised tools,
reused request identities, mismatched results, and oversized values.
- Keep the current durable backend on the zero-tool path until the next
wiring change.
- Extend the fake Codex app server and integration tests for success,
recovery, denial, and correlation behavior.
## Verification
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --workspace`
- `cargo clippy --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --workspace --all-targets --
-D warnings -A clippy::manual_is_multiple_of -A
clippy::filter_map_bool_then`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The PR changes 4 files relative to `runner-rust-semantic-tool-bridge`.
## Risks
Low activation risk. The existing `CodexProvider::start` path still
supplies an empty tool set. The durable backend treats a tool event as
an error until a later PR attaches the durable authorization bridge. The
new transport rejects unknown tools and invalid provider bindings.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner/runner` semantic tool authorization and
correlation.
**Problem or motivation**
The Rust runner needs a durable representation of the run-scoped tools
that the control plane authorizes. It must reject unknown operations,
catalog drift, invalid values, and conflicting duplicate calls or
results before a provider integration can use those tools.
**Proposed solution**
Add a serialized provider tool bridge. Validate the authorized catalog
and its JSON Schemas. Validate each call and result. Keep pending and
completed identities so retries are idempotent and conflicts fail
closed.
**Alternatives considered**
Trusting provider arguments would bypass the run-scoped catalog.
Validating only in TypeScript would leave the Rust process without a
recovery-safe authorization boundary. Adding provider behavior in this
pull request would make the review unit too broad.
**Roadmap alignment**
This adds a package-local safety boundary for the Codex-first runner
path. It does not enable a new adapter or change an existing direct
adapter path.
## What Changed
- Added the versioned authorized-tool, pending-call, and result
contracts.
- Added canonical SHA-256 catalog binding and drift rejection.
- Added JSON Schema compilation and input and response validation.
- Added duplicate-call and duplicate-result idempotency with conflict
rejection.
- Added bounds for catalogs, schemas, values, and retained call
identities.
- Added the Rust `jsonschema` dependency and its Cargo lock entries.
- Added focused tests for authorization, recovery, envelopes, bounds,
and conflicts.
## Verification
- `cargo fmt --manifest-path packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml
--all -- --check`
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core`
(64 tests)
- `cargo clippy --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--all-targets -- -D warnings -A clippy::manual_is_multiple_of -A
clippy::filter_map_bool_then`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The repository test runner also reached unrelated server worktree
suites. Those suites fail on the current macOS worktree with database
deadlocks and filesystem fixture assumptions. This pull request does not
change those files. The applicable GitHub checks remain the handoff
authority.
## Risks
The main risks are accepting a tool that the run did not authorize and
replaying a conflicting provider result. The bridge validates the
catalog, operation identity, JSON Schema, call identity, and result
identity before it changes durable state. The new Cargo dependency is
package-local. This pull request changes no GitHub workflow and no pnpm
lockfile.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` Codex runtime context materialization.
**Problem or motivation**
The runner needs a private Codex home for each native session. It must
stage only assigned skills, copy local Codex authentication safely, and
validate native MCP bindings before it exposes them to the child
process.
**Proposed solution**
Create an isolated runtime directory. Validate the skill tree before and
after copying it. Make staged skill files read-only. Read authentication
through a no-follow file descriptor with a size bound. Accept only HTTPS
or loopback MCP endpoints and bounded tokens.
**Alternatives considered**
Using the operator Codex home directly would expose unrelated state and
skills. Following symlinks while copying skills or authentication could
escape the assigned source. Accepting arbitrary MCP URLs could send a
bearer token to an untrusted endpoint.
**Roadmap alignment**
This adds a package-local safety boundary for the reviewed Codex runner
path. It does not enable a new adapter or change an existing direct
adapter path.
## What Changed
- Added the native MCP binding contract and strict validation.
- Added isolated Codex home materialization with shell snapshots
disabled.
- Added assigned-skill staging with lexical containment and two-pass
symlink checks.
- Added read-only permissions for staged skill trees.
- Added owner-only authentication staging with no-follow reads and a
size bound.
- Added cleanup for complete and partially materialized runtime
directories.
## Verification
- The focused runtime context suite has 7 passing cases.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript` (36
files, 351 tests)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
The main risks are filesystem escape, secret exposure, and token
delivery to an unsafe endpoint. The materializer rejects symlinks before
and after skill copying, resolves existing source paths, reads
authentication with `O_NOFOLLOW`, applies private permissions, and
restricts MCP URLs to HTTPS or loopback hosts. Existing direct adapters
do not use this package-local runtime context.

code can use it

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` native backend construction.
**Problem or motivation**
The runner needs one normalized backend seam that constructs the
reviewed Codex driver. The seam must not route OpenCode, ACPX, Claude
Managed, or AWS AgentCore through an incomplete fallback.
**Proposed solution**
Add a Codex backend constructor and a Codex-first factory. Reject every
deferred provider at the factory and provider-specific constructor
boundaries.
**Alternatives considered**
Routing all provider contracts through the Codex protocol facade would
give deferred providers runtime behavior before their implementations
are reviewed. Including all provider backends would also broaden this
pull request beyond the Codex-first series.
**Roadmap alignment**
This connects reviewed runner package layers. It does not enable a new
adapter or change an existing direct adapter path.
## What Changed
- Added the Codex native backend constructor.
- Added the Codex-first native backend factory.
- Preserved the execution contract, runtime instructions, plan
constraints, dynamic tools, transport injection, and durable identity
requirements.
- Rejected every deferred provider with an explicit error.
- Added tests for lazy transport construction and both fail-closed
boundaries.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript` (35
files, 340 tests)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused native backend factory suite has 3 passing cases.
## Risks
The main risk is starting the wrong provider or starting a provider
before its runtime is ready. The factory and Codex constructor both
reject non-Codex inputs. Existing direct adapters do not call this
package-local factory.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` Codex app-server session driver.
**Problem or motivation**
The runner needs a production-shaped Codex session implementation that
turns provider facts into canonical PRP events while keeping task
identity, semantic completion, runtime input, and recovery under
controller authority.
**Proposed solution**
Compose the previously reviewed transport and normalization boundaries
into a Codex-only harness driver with session open/resume, turns,
streaming events, semantic tools, structured questions, goals, lineage,
usage, cancellation, reconciliation, and deterministic persisted
snapshots.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping the full implementation in one initial transport pull request
would obscure the trust boundaries. Adding the deferred ACPX or OpenCode
paths here would also broaden the provider scope beyond the Codex-first
series.
**Roadmap alignment**
This implements the Codex provider slice inside the package. It does not
enable the runner adapter or change any existing direct adapter path.
## What Changed
- Added the Codex app-server harness driver and session lifecycle.
- Added controller-bound semantic completion and terminal handling.
- Added runtime requests, structured questions, goals, lineage, usage,
steering, interruption, and recovery.
- Added workspace diff and file-reference projection.
- Connected bounded/redacted provider data and notification identity
checks.
- Kept deferred provider identities and replacement behavior out of the
Codex-only driver.
- Added 62 focused driver cases covering lifecycle, security, recovery,
and protocol failures.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript` (34
files, 337 tests)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused Codex driver suite has 62 passing cases.
## Risks
The main risks are accepting provider events from the wrong session,
duplicating terminal facts, retaining unsafe provider data, or resuming
a different session. Tests cover pre-turn, cross-thread, stale-turn,
post-terminal, duplicate-result, cancellation, transport loss, provider
identity, workspace, redaction, structured input, and recovery cases.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Codex driver needs a controller-owned oracle for semantic
completion and replay
> - Provider proposals are advisory and must satisfy the exact task
envelope
> - Persisted events must be bounded and validated before deterministic
replay

fixture
> - This pull request adds that test and conformance layer before the
full driver

changes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` Codex trace, result-validation, and replay
conformance.
**Problem or motivation**
A provider-completed turn is not sufficient authority to finalize a
Paperclip run. Results must match the controller-owned completion
contract, and persisted provider events must be validated before they
can rebuild controller state.
**Proposed solution**
Add a bounded Codex trace harness that validates result proposals, emits
controller decisions and terminals, verifies live/replay parity, and
rejects malformed persisted streams. Add a validated fixture for runtime
requests, goals, lineage, controls, reconnect identity, and redaction
cases.
**Alternatives considered**
Embedding these assertions only in the production driver would mix
controller authority with provider transport behavior and make
deterministic replay harder to review.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the Codex-first experimental runner. It does not enable
the runner adapter or add another provider.
## What Changed
- Added exact task-envelope result validation.
- Added bounded persisted-event validation and deterministic replay.
- Added a controller-owned Codex trace harness and parity assertions.
- Added and validated the checked-in Live console conformance fixture.
- Updated the generated protocol manifest with the fixture source.
- Added focused result and fixture tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused trace-conformance test has 2 passing cases.
## Risks
The main risks are accepting a mismatched semantic result or replaying
corrupted provider history. Validation covers schema, contract revision,
criteria identity, disposition invariants, event identity, uniqueness,
ordering, terminal count, and byte limits.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Runner replies can refer to files produced inside an assigned
workspace
> - The task page needs stable file metadata without trusting arbitrary
Markdown paths

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` workspace file-reference discovery.
**Problem or motivation**
Assistant-authored Markdown can contain external, absolute, escaping, or
symlinked paths. Reading those paths directly could disclose files
outside the assigned workspace or retain unbounded content.
**Proposed solution**
Parse a bounded set of local Markdown references, normalize them
relative to the workspace, verify canonical paths before reading, reject
symlink escapes, and retain bounded previews plus content digests.
**Alternatives considered**
Leaving path handling inside a provider driver would duplicate a
security-sensitive boundary and make it harder to test independently.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the Codex-first experimental runner and future
provider-neutral task projection. It does not enable the runner adapter.
## What Changed
- Added stable workspace file-reference records.
- Added local Markdown link extraction and path normalization.
- Added canonical-path and symlink-escape checks.
- Added bounded file reads, previews, and SHA-256 digests.
- Added focused path, preview, and symlink tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused workspace-reference test has 3 passing cases.
## Risks
The main risk is reading outside the assigned workspace or retaining
excessive data. Tests cover absolute and external paths, symlink
escapes, preview bounds, and deterministic metadata.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Codex thread state arrives as provider-specific goals, lineage,
notifications, and workspace paths

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` Codex thread-state normalization.
**Problem or motivation**
Provider thread data can contain unsupported goal shapes, unrelated
notifications, unsafe workspace paths, or unbounded response values.
Passing it through directly would weaken run isolation and durable-data
bounds.
**Proposed solution**
Normalize goals and lineage into stable runner shapes, accept
notifications only when their run and thread identities match, constrain
workspace references to the assigned root, and retain only bounded safe
provider responses.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping these rules embedded in the full driver would make the trust
boundary harder to review and test independently.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the Codex-first experimental runner. It does not enable
the runner adapter.
## What Changed
- Added normalized Codex thread goals and lineage.
- Added run- and thread-bound notification filtering.
- Added safe workspace-relative path and stat projection.
- Added bounded provider-response retention.
- Added focused normalization and isolation tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused thread-normalization test has 3 passing cases.
## Risks
The main risk is retaining data from the wrong provider thread or
accepting an unsafe workspace reference. Tests cover identity binding,
path normalization, response bounds, goal parsing, and lineage
projection.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` Codex value and workspace boundaries.
**Problem or motivation**
Raw provider payloads can exceed durable limits or contain credentials.
An invalid working directory can expose host state or escape the
assigned workspace.
**Proposed solution**
Validate the workspace against host and assignment roots. Bound retained
values by depth, count, string length, and byte size. Redact protected
keys and diagnostic credentials.
**Alternatives considered**
Keeping these checks inside the driver would make them harder to review
and reuse at every provider-data boundary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the Codex-first experimental runner. It does not enable
the runner adapter.
## What Changed
- Added assigned-workspace validation.
- Added host home and Codex home overlap checks.
- Added retained payload bounds.
- Added recursive protected-value redaction.
- Added semantic completion tool disposition checks.
- Added focused security and bounds tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused boundary test has 3 passing cases.
## Risks
The main risk is accepting an unsafe workspace or retaining sensitive
provider data. Tests cover root escape, host overlap, size limits,
credential redaction, and completion-tool separation.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Existing adapters already use provider-neutral structured questions
> - Codex emits several provider-specific input and elicitation forms
> - Malformed native forms must fail closed instead of degrading to an
opaque prompt

full driver
> - A later pull request will connect it to provider request handling
> - The benefit is a small compatibility boundary that preserves legacy
question behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` Codex structured input handling.
**Problem or motivation**
Codex user-input and MCP elicitation requests use different shapes. The
runner needs one canonical question set and must map validated answers
back to the correct provider response.
**Proposed solution**
Normalize native forms into `paperclip.question_set.v1`. Preserve
optional answers, select modes, validation bounds, and stable IDs. Map
canonical responses back only after validation.
**Alternatives considered**
Passing provider-native forms through PRP would couple the app to Codex
and would not preserve the existing provider-neutral question boundary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the Codex-first experimental runner and existing
structured-question compatibility. It does not enable the runner
adapter.
## What Changed
- Added request-kind detection for approval, input, and elicitation
requests.
- Added requestUserInput normalization.
- Added JSON Schema elicitation normalization.
- Added canonical runtime request payloads.
- Added response mapping for Codex answers and MCP elicitation content.
- Added malformed-form and multi-question tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused question adapter test has 3 passing cases.
## Risks
The main risk is changing question semantics. Tests verify optional
answers, single and multi select modes, text validation, duplicate IDs,
numeric elicitation, and canonical response mapping.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Codex executes commands inside the runner workspace

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` Codex launch security.
**Problem or motivation**
A provider process can inherit host paths, environment secrets, network
access, or write permissions unless the runner constructs a closed
configuration.
**Proposed solution**
Build explicit app-server arguments and thread parameters. Deny host
roots and network access, allow only a small environment list, and use a
read-only profile for plan mode.
**Alternatives considered**
Relying on ambient Codex defaults would make runner safety depend on
each host installation.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the Codex-first experimental runner. It does not enable
the runner adapter.
## What Changed
- Added deny-by-default filesystem rules.
- Added separate execution and planning permission profiles.
- Added network denial.
- Added an explicit environment allowlist.
- Disabled host apps, plugins, memories, multi-agent behavior, and image
generation.
- Added security configuration tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused security configuration test has 3 passing cases.
## Risks
The risk is an overly broad provider launch. Tests verify denied host
roots, read-only context roots, workspace permissions, network denial,
and secret exclusion.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` Codex event normalization.
**Problem or motivation**
Codex turn diffs need stable file operations and statistics. Raw diff
input must not escape the workspace or grow without bounds.
**Proposed solution**
Parse complete unified diff snapshots into normalized file records.
Bound file count and retained text, reject unsafe paths, and represent
binary changes without text.
**Alternatives considered**
Parsing diffs inside the main driver would make provider lifecycle
review larger and harder to test in isolation.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the Codex-first experimental runner. It does not enable an
adapter.
## What Changed
- Added create, modify, delete, rename, mode-change, and binary parsing.
- Added workspace-relative path validation.
- Added file-count and per-file text bounds.
- Added focused rename, binary, hostile path, and size tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused parser test has 2 passing cases.
## Risks
Low risk. This is a pure parser with no file-system access and no
production caller yet.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` Codex transport.
**Problem or motivation**
The runner needs a safe way to start and communicate with Codex
app-server. Unbounded lines, queued notifications, pending requests, and
inherited credentials would make that boundary unsafe.
**Proposed solution**
Add a JSON-RPC process transport with explicit byte and count limits,
sanitized environment construction, process-group metadata,
server-request handling, redacted diagnostics, and deterministic
closure.
**Alternatives considered**
Adding transport and the full Codex driver in one change would create a
much larger review surface. This pull request isolates the child-process
boundary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the Codex-first experimental runner. It does not enable
the runner adapter.
## What Changed
- Added bounded JSON-RPC request and notification queues.
- Added malformed-message and oversized-line fail-closed behavior.
- Added sanitized Codex environment construction.
- Added process-group tracking and deterministic shutdown.
- Added redacted diagnostics and server-request replies.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused transport test has 6 passing cases.
## Risks
The main risk is child-process cleanup. Tests cover closure, pending
request rejection, queue bounds, process metadata, and malformed input.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` scenario tool runtime.
**Problem or motivation**
Scenario tests need to expose only authorized actions. They also need
stable denial records, redaction, and idempotent command handling.
**Proposed solution**
Project the canonical scenario contracts into a visible catalog. Recheck
policy at invocation. Dispatch allowed operations through the mock
control-plane port and return redacted receipts.
**Alternatives considered**
Direct production bindings are outside this pull request. The runtime
uses only the package-local mock port.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports runner conformance and scenario testing. It does not
enable an adapter or production service call.
## What Changed
- Added run-scoped scenario tool discovery.
- Added claim, role, task-mode, and policy authorization.
- Added input validation, redaction, and authorization records.
- Added fake-agent and Codex definition projections.
- Added deterministic mock dispatch and idempotency coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused semantic runtime test has 10 passing cases.
## Risks
Low risk. The runtime is package-local and uses the mock control-plane
port. It creates no production binding.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/paperclip-runner` protocol contracts.
**Problem or motivation**
The runner does not yet have a complete canonical inventory for domain
and administration actions. Later authorization code cannot project a
stable operation catalog without this inventory.
**Proposed solution**
Add the remaining action contracts and aggregate all 41 actions.
Validate every declared live and scenario projection with its own
schema.
**Alternatives considered**
Binding these actions directly to production services would combine data
contracts with authority. This pull request keeps every production
service binding unbound.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the experimental Paperclip Runner. It does not
enable the runner or change an existing adapter.
## What Changed
- Added 14 domain and administration action contracts.
- Added the complete immutable 41-action catalog.
- Added validation for live inputs and outputs.
- Added validation for scenario inputs and capability-result envelopes.
- Kept every production service binding unbound.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The focused catalog test validates 41 actions.
## Risks
Low risk. This pull request adds package-local contract data and tests.
It does not authorize an action or change an adapter.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6 and repository tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents collaborate through discovery, delegation, dependencies, and
governed approvals
> - These optional operations need stable contracts before any run may
discover them
> - The core action contracts are already isolated in the lower stack

authorization
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
packages/paperclip-runner protocol action contracts
**Problem or motivation**
Optional collaboration operations need one provider-neutral definition
for policy metadata, documentation, live and scenario schemas, and
canonical examples.
**Proposed solution**
Add one immutable module for each discovery, delegation, dependency, and
governance action. Add a collaboration aggregate and validate all
examples with JSON Schema.
**Alternatives considered**
These contracts could land with executable authorization. That would
make contract review depend on runtime policy and server service
bindings.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing experimental Paperclip Runner rollout. It
does not make any optional operation discoverable or invocable.
## What Changed
- Add 13 collaboration and governance action definitions.
- Add immutable policy, schema, documentation, and example data.
- Add a collaboration-only aggregate.
- Validate every action example against its declared schema.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The branch changes 15 files relative to its declared base.
## Risks
Low production risk. The declarations do not grant claims or contain
executable service bindings. Tests require optional placement, immutable
metadata, stable identities, and schema-valid examples.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
packages/paperclip-runner protocol action contracts
**Problem or motivation**
The runner has an older compact catalog, but it does not single-source
the full policy metadata, documentation, live shape, scenario shape, and
examples for each core action.
**Proposed solution**
Add one immutable definition module per core action. Add an internal
core aggregate and validate every input and output example against its
declared JSON Schema. Keep all production authorization and execution
unavailable.
**Alternatives considered**
All 41 action definitions could land in one pull request. That would
create more than 7,000 changed lines and reduce useful review depth.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing experimental Paperclip Runner rollout. It
does not enable the adapter or expose any new production tool.
## What Changed
- Add 14 core protocol action definitions.
- Add immutable policy, schema, documentation, and example data for each
action.
- Add a deep-freeze helper and a core-only aggregate.
- Validate all core examples with JSON Schema.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The branch changes 17 files relative to its declared base.
## Risks
Low production risk. These declarations do not contain executable
authorization or service bindings. The main risk is schema drift. Tests
validate operation identity, placement, immutability, and canonical
examples.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
packages/paperclip-runner testing and semantic capability contracts
**Problem or motivation**
Later semantic action slices need deterministic company, actor, task,
governance, workspace, secret, budget, routine, and audit state. A live
Paperclip server would make those tests slow and environment-dependent.
**Proposed solution**
Add serializable capability fixture types and an in-memory control-plane
adapter. Enforce company scope, claims, roles, idempotency, redaction,
faults, and audit records. Export the adapter only from the testing
entry point.
**Alternatives considered**
The tests could mock each action separately. That would duplicate
authorization rules and would not verify state transitions across
multiple actions.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing experimental Paperclip Runner rollout. It
does not enable production semantic operations or change app execution.
## What Changed
- Add deterministic capability fixture types and seed state.
- Add an in-memory capability control-plane adapter.
- Enforce run, company, actor, claim, role, and idempotency boundaries.
- Model governed task, document, interaction, workspace, secret,
routine, and audit changes.
- Add deterministic tests and testing-entry-point exports.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The branch changes 5 files relative to its declared base.
## Risks
The main risk is a permissive mock that hides a production authorization
error. The adapter fails closed for missing claims, wrong roles,
cross-company access, duplicate mutations, invalid state, and restricted
secret access. Tests cover each fixture domain and serialized restore
behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The runner needs repeatable tests at the provider and control-plane
boundaries
> - Network services and live providers cannot produce deterministic
conformance results
> - Small in-memory adapters can exercise the same public contracts

changes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
packages/paperclip-runner testing and conformance support
**Problem or motivation**
The public runner contracts have unit tests, but later provider and
server slices need a deterministic way to exercise session, event,
replay, checkpoint, and result behavior together.
**Proposed solution**
Add in-memory implementations of the harness-driver and control-plane
ports. Add a canonical conformance fixture and runner. Export these
utilities only from `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner/testing`.
**Alternatives considered**
The tests could start a real provider or server. That would make the
conformance gate slower, less portable, and dependent on credentials or
network state.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing experimental Paperclip Runner rollout. It
does not enable a production adapter or change current app execution.
## What Changed
- Add a deterministic harness-driver implementation.
- Add an in-memory control-plane adapter with replay and checkpoint
support.
- Add a canonical provider-neutral conformance fixture.
- Add a reusable conformance runner and contract tests.
- Export the helpers from the package testing entry point only.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- The branch changes 10 files relative to its declared base.
## Risks
Low risk. This pull request adds test-only adapters and conformance
helpers. It does not select a runtime or change production behavior.
Contract tests verify event identity, replay, checkpoints, and
deterministic results.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Semantic tools cross a trust boundary between a provider and the
control plane
> - Durable runs need exact input, result, denial, duplicate, and

receipt pairs

fixtures

> - The benefit is auditable semantic activity before more providers use
it
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
packages/paperclip-runner
**Problem or motivation**
Semantic tool calls have basic authorization records, but durable replay
does not yet cover reconciled calls, denial redaction, duplicate
receipts, governance targets, or artifact references.
**Proposed solution**
Add bounded semantic receipt builders, a reconciled phase, strict pair
binding, fail-closed version checks, and generated replay oracles for
the important lifecycle cases.
**Alternatives considered**
The runner could store provider-native tool payloads. That would weaken
protocol portability and make redaction and retry behavior
provider-specific.
**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing experimental Paperclip Runner rollout. It
does not enable a production adapter.
## What Changed
- Add semantic input and result receipt builders.
- Add optional reconciliation receipts for pending calls.
- Reject unsupported semantic receipt versions.
- Validate receipt correlation, operation, idempotency, and digest
bindings.
- Add deterministic replay fixtures and generated golden outputs.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Replay golden and protocol manifest checks pass.
- The branch changes 27 files relative to its declared base.
## Risks
The main risk is accepting a receipt that belongs to another call or
replaying a duplicate as a new mutation. Binding checks compare
correlation, operation, idempotency, and content digest fields. Fixtures
cover denials, duplicates, governance chains, optional fields,
artifacts, and unsupported versions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
packages/paperclip-runner
**Problem or motivation**
The runner contracts do not yet have a shared session loop. Each backend
would otherwise duplicate event handoff, terminal handling, recovery
cursors, timeouts, and checkpoint behavior.
**Proposed solution**
Add the native session runtime, backend interfaces, control-plane port,
harness driver contract, deterministic conformance helpers, and bounded
tests.
**Alternatives considered**
The server could own this loop. That would mix provider process behavior
with server persistence and authority logic.
**Roadmap alignment**
This is part of the existing experimental Paperclip Runner rollout. It
does not enable a production adapter.
## What Changed
- Add a provider-neutral native session execution loop.
- Add recovery cursor reconciliation and checkpoint hooks.
- Add bounded timeout and governed-wait behavior.
- Add harness driver and control-plane conformance helpers.
- Add deterministic backend and session runtime tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Protocol generation and manifest checks pass.
- The branch changes 14 files relative to its declared base.
## Risks
The main risk is a session that hangs, duplicates an event, or restores
the wrong cursor after reconnect. Tests cover terminal events, timeouts,
durable handoff, duplicate receipts, recovery, continuity breaks, and
checkpoint updates. The change remains package-local.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
packages/paperclip-runner
**Problem or motivation**
The runner has protocol transport and Codex support, but later backends
do not have one public contract for execution input, runtime context,
completion output, and recovery state.
**Proposed solution**
Add versioned native execution input parsers, model envelopes,
completion result helpers, runtime context contracts, and durable
recovery types. Keep these changes package-local. Do not change server
runtime selection.
**Alternatives considered**
Each provider could define its own server-facing input. That would
couple server orchestration to provider details and make compatibility
harder to verify.
**Roadmap alignment**
This is part of the existing experimental Paperclip Runner rollout. It
does not enable a new production adapter.
## What Changed
- Add versioned native execution input contracts and strict parsers.
- Add provider-neutral runtime context and completion contracts.
- Add durable recovery and local runner types.
- Add structured question compatibility and parser tests.
- Export only the contracts that exist in this stack layer.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- Protocol generation and manifest checks pass.
- The branch changes 12 files relative to its declared base.
## Risks
The main risk is accepting malformed or future input as a supported
contract. The parsers reject unknown required versions and unknown
fields. The change is package-local and does not select or start the
experimental runner.

## Thinking Path
> - The runner already persists PRP events, but provider-native activity
needs one bounded, provider-neutral vocabulary before additional
providers can be added safely.
> - The protocol catalog must describe capabilities without enabling or
authorizing a provider.
> - Provider normalization must not require an ACPX runtime dependency
merely to compile the shared event layer.
> - This pull request adds the event contract and pure normalizers only;
provider transports and production selection remain unchanged.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is the first follow-up stacked on #12321. Codex, OpenCode, and ACP
runtimes expose different activity shapes. Without canonical
normalization, downstream task threads and traces would need
provider-specific branching and could retain unbounded or unsafe
payloads.
## What Changed
- Expand the PRP provider descriptor and canonical activity event
families.
- Add bounded Codex, OpenCode, and ACP event normalizers for plans,
tools, research, delegation, artifacts, review, safety, waits, and
notices.
- Preserve strict schema validation and regenerate the checked-in schema
bundle and manifest.
- Use a structural ACP event input so the provider-neutral layer does
not introduce or authorize an ACPX runtime dependency.
- Export the provider-event contract from the existing package root.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck:typescript`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:typescript` — 11
files and 88 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `git diff --check`
- The local full repository runner reached unrelated macOS
workspace-path fixture failures; the affected runner suites pass and the
repository CI shards are the handoff authority.
- Diff against the declared base: 8 files.
## Compatibility Boundary
- No provider transport, adapter, server route, feature flag, or runtime
selection changes.
- Catalog presence does not authorize discovery or execution.
- Existing Codex execution continues through its current path.
- No dependency, migration, workflow, or lockfile change.
## Risks
The main risk is accepting malformed or unbounded provider payloads.
Schema validation remains fail-closed, text/output fields are bounded
and redacted, unsafe paths and URLs are discarded, and representative
variants for every declared event family are covered by tests.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The client does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution were enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The experimental Paperclip Runner can execute a guarded Codex run
and persist provider-neutral events.
> - The task page still reads direct-adapter transcripts and cannot
present those native events.
> - Structured runner questions must also use the existing task
interaction experience.
> - Runtime selection must use the persisted run mode, not an adapter
name or a current feature flag.
> - This pull request projects native events and questions into the
existing task thread.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing transcript, composer,
interaction, and finalization paths.
> - The benefit is a complete native Codex task thread without a
behavior change for existing adapters.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12202. This pull request replaces that stale implementation on
current `master`.
**What happened?**
The server persists native runner events and structured input requests.
The task page only consumes direct-adapter transcripts. A native run
therefore cannot present a complete transcript, usage, or question flow
through the normal task experience.
**Expected behavior**
Native runs project persisted provider-neutral events into the existing
task thread. Native structured questions use the existing interaction
card. Direct adapters retain their current behavior.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable the experimental runner.
2. Start a native Codex run that emits progress, usage, a structured
question, and a final reply.
3. Open the task page.
4. Observe that the direct-adapter transcript path cannot project the
native event records.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `67f9867bc`.
## What Changed
- Add the canonical structured-question validator and shared contract
exports.
- Materialize native input requests as existing task interactions.
- Validate native answers and deliver them through the durable
question-response receipt.
- Resume the original PRP request with an idempotent `request.resolve`
command.
- Project native messages, tool activity, cumulative usage, and final
replies into the existing transcript model.
- Propagate persisted `runtimeMode` to the task page and select native
handling only for `runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Expire pending interactions through the shared issue service on every
terminal transition, including decisions, stalled reviews, tree control,
and pipeline retry cleanup.
- Queue native run cancellation while a transaction is open and execute
it only after the owning transaction commits.
- Keep nonterminal and non-runner issue paths on their existing service
call shapes and behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed, including the
Rust runner release build and protocol/catalog drift gates.
- Focused native-thread and lifecycle suites — 18 files and 481 tests
passed during review.
- `issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts` — 19/19 passed after the final
transactional-queue expectation update.
- `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts` — 87/87 passed in the
final isolated compatibility rerun.
- GitHub Actions — policy, build, canary, typecheck/release registry, 5
serialized server shards, 8 general-test shards, 3 browser shards, and
both aggregate gates passed on `7793f3193`.
- Security — Snyk, Socket Project Report, Socket PR Alerts, and
Superagent passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 on `7793f3193`; all actionable review threads resolved.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Diff against `master`: 44 files.
## Compatibility Boundary
- Native transcript polling only runs when the persisted run reports
`runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Missing or legacy runtime modes continue through
`useLiveRunTranscripts`.
- Legacy questions keep the existing optional free-text choice.
- Native closed select sets can suppress that legacy fallback.
- Terminal cleanup uses the same issue service for native and legacy
interactions; only a bound native question schedules a native run
cancellation.
- Native cancellation happens after transaction commit, so failed or
rolled-back writes do not cancel a still-valid run.
- The durable delivery service checks the original native request before
it considers a continuation run.
- This pull request adds no migration, dependency, workflow, manifest,
or lockfile change.
## Risks
The main risk is routing a direct-adapter task through native handling
or changing terminal issue behavior. The implementation selects the
native path only from persisted runtime facts, retains the existing
nonterminal call shape, and schedules native cancellation only for a
validated bound native question after commit. Focused and
repository-wide tests cover both paths. Native requests remain bound to
the company, issue, run, and agent; answers are validated, durable, and
idempotent across reconnects.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The client does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution were enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Apps give those agents governed access to external tools.
> - Provider catalogs must match each provider's current protocol and
credential contract.
> - Postman method labels and API-key placement were outdated.
> - Shopify now offers a UCP commerce endpoint that needs a managed
agent-profile argument.
> - This pull request updates both providers and documents the complete
connection-authoring workflow.
> - The benefit is accurate setup, safer runtime defaults, and a
repeatable provider review process.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 10 of 11. It depends on stack 9 and preserves the final
catalog work recovered from #11965.
Related: #5904 covers Shopify skill routing. This pull request covers
the Apps connection contract instead.
## What Changed
- Update Postman hosted MCP methods, capability choices, default
selection, and bearer-token placement.
- Add Shopify UCP commerce and Storefront compatibility methods with
public-store prerequisites.
- Inject the reviewed Shopify UCP agent profile at runtime and remove
that managed field from user input schemas.
- Classify Shopify checkout completion and cancellation as destructive
actions.
- Expand the connection authoring runbook from provider research through
verification and pull request handoff.
- Add focused shared, server, and UI coverage.
- Make the approved-execution waiter phase-aware so slow preparation
cannot consume the provider execution timeout and grace period.
- Settle legacy pre-execute-on-approve requests and invocations as
failed, clear their stale idempotency key, and allow a fresh governed
approval instead of leaving work stuck in `executing`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
ui/src/pages/apps/AppsConnect.test.tsx -t
"Postman|Shopify|normalizeConnectionMethodConfig|classifyRisk"` (16
passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run

- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-gateway.test.ts -t
"enforces policy, approvals, retries, rate limits, and company

- `pnpm exec vitest run

legacy approval settlement and fresh-approval recovery)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Shopify UCP calls now include a Paperclip-managed agent profile that
overrides caller input at the same path.
- Postman EU credentials now use the hosted MCP server's bearer-token
contract instead of the general REST API header.
- The catalog generator and checked-in definitions change together to
prevent regeneration drift.
- Approved execution preparation has an explicit two-minute bound;
provider execution retains its own 65-second timeout and persistence
grace starting from durable provider start.
- Legacy approvals created before execute-on-approve are intentionally
terminalized and must be requested again under the current signed
contract.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This provider update does not duplicate
planned core work. The related open Shopify PR addresses skill routing,
not Apps connections.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connection intents need secure provider implementations to complete
setup.
> - Some providers use managed OAuth or external credential brokers.
> - Those tokens must stay out of durable Paperclip state and fail
closed when refresh fails.
> - This pull request adds managed connector backends and the required
storage contract.
> - The benefit is safer provider setup with governed credential
lifecycles.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 8 of 11. It depends on stack 7 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add managed Google Workspace and external connector backends.
- Add Vercel Connect support without storing provider bearer tokens.
- Add replay-safe migration 0232 and its generated snapshot.
- Fail closed and clear stale token bindings when organization OAuth
refresh needs reauthorization.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 194 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/remote-url-credentials.test.ts` (5 passed, including
URL userinfo vault extraction)
## Risks
- Broker metadata errors can block provider setup.
- OAuth refresh failure disables the shared organization connection
until reauthorization.
- Migration 0232 is generated, ordered after 0231, and safe to replay.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents need a governed way to request app connections during issue
work.
> - The catalog now describes the available providers and setup methods.
> - A request must become a durable, company-scoped intent before an
operator acts on it.
> - This pull request adds that intent runtime across server, agent,
CLI, and shared contracts.
> - The benefit is a safe bridge from agent need to operator-approved
setup.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 7 of 11. It depends on stack 6 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add connection intent types, validation, service logic, and routes.
- Add agent runtime tools and CLI support for connection requests.
- Add issue-thread interaction support for connection intents.
- Add runtime, route, adapter, and contract tests.
- Hold the final resolved-continuation row lock through asynchronous
adapter preparation until an actual process spawn, so parking or
reassignment cannot cross that boundary.
- Report Hermes Gateway's first remote run request through the shared
dispatch hook so the resolved-intent lock is released at the true
dispatch boundary.
- Revalidate the addressed user's live non-viewer membership and
connection-management authority for every intent mutation, including
OAuth completion.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 176 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run

includes non-process dispatch lock-release coverage)
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/connection-intents-service.test.ts -t
"addressed-user mutation"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts -t "binds OAuth
callback completion to the initiating board session"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter test --
src/gateway/server/execute.test.ts` (23 passed; includes dispatch-hook
ordering and exactly-once coverage)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter typecheck`
## Risks
- A malformed intent could create an unusable operator request.
- Validators and company checks reject invalid or cross-company
requests.
- The final continuation gate holds the issue row lock through adapter
preparation until process or remote dispatch; later operator changes use
the normal active-run interruption path.
- The change does not add a database migration.

> - A useful app store needs accurate and selectable provider
definitions.
> - Local brand assets now cover the expanded provider set.
> - Provider methods differ in transport, authentication, ownership, and

choices.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 6 of 11. It depends on stack 5 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add and update provider definitions for the self-serve catalog.
- Add Google Workspace connection methods and capability profiles.
- Add catalog generation, ingestion, URL matching, and contract tests.
- Update legacy key tests to use a provider that still uses header
credentials.
## Verification

## Risks
- An incorrect provider definition can offer the wrong setup method.
- Contract tests verify transport, authentication, and provider URL
behavior.
- The change does not add a database migration.

## What Changed
- Add company and user connection grants.
- Add delegated identity and membership rules.
- Synchronize database, shared, server, and UI contracts.
- Register the grant-member replacement route in the OpenAPI surface in
the same layer that mounts it.
- Add migration 0231 with replay-safe guards and coverage.

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 2 of 11. It depends on stack 1 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Improve remote tool gateway connection behavior.
- Add clearer app setup, test, and recovery states.
- Add focused server and UI tests for the new paths.
- Keep the diff isolated from later identity and catalog work.
- Stabilize DNS-pinned remote HTTP protocol fixtures and the
managed-runtime public-origin fixture for this independently tested
layer.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`

- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Gateway errors now surface through new user-facing states.
- A stale connection can require a new setup attempt.
- The change does not add a database migration.
- The injected HTTP transport and public URL are test-only fixtures;
production DNS pinning and runtime behavior are unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11965
This is stack 1 of 11. It replaces the first reviewable part of #11965.
## What Changed
- Add guarded remote MCP setup and credential handling.
- Add PostHog OAuth and API key connection methods.
- Add focused server, shared contract, and UI coverage.
- Keep the migration replay-safe and idempotent.
- Give the late-close security regression the same 10-second CI headroom
as the adjacent real-timer handshake test.
- Synchronize fake-timer handshake tests at the exact ensure-session
boundary so real filesystem setup cannot race the fake deadline.
- Drive PTY overflow coverage only after listener registration so
scheduling cannot reorder the test fixture.
## Verification
- pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager.test.ts (220 passed; affected
cases also passed five focused stress repetitions)
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "never leaks a
sandbox-provided value from a late close rejection into logs or the
result"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "never
promotes a late ensureSession resolution|closes a late-resolving real
handle exactly once"` (2 passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`
## Risks
- Remote endpoint validation can reject configurations that previously
passed without checks.
- OAuth configuration errors can block setup until the operator corrects
the provider settings.
- The migration uses guarded statements so repeated execution is safe.
- The test-only synchronization changes do not affect runtime behavior;

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server admits agent work through heartbeat scheduling and
execution paths
> - Operators need to stop new work before maintenance or a graceful
shutdown
> - A process restart alone does not provide a reusable admission
control primitive
> - This pull request adds an instance API that holds new task admission
and reports process quiescence
> - The benefit is a small, auditable control that lets operators wait
for active work without a restart
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
Operators cannot hold new task admission without restarting the
Paperclip process. A restart can interrupt maintenance flows and does
not provide a status signal for active work.
**Proposed solution**
Add `GET /instance/task-drain`, `POST /instance/task-drain`, and `DELETE
/instance/task-drain`. The server keeps the drain state in process
memory, applies it to every scheduling suppression path, supports an
optional TTL up to 24 hours, and reports active wake and run counts.
**Alternatives considered**
A timer would clear the drain after its TTL, but it could keep the
Node.js event loop open during shutdown. A database row would add
storage and query work for process-local state. The implementation uses
lazy expiry and process memory instead.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change supports the roadmap goal for enforced outcomes and safe
recovery actions. It does not duplicate a listed roadmap item.
**Additional context**
This is a server and shared-package change. It adds no user interface
and no database migration.
## What Changed
- Add process-local task-drain state with lazy TTL expiry.
- Add task-drain admission suppression to the shared heartbeat resolver.
- Add instance routes to read, start, and stop a task drain.
- Add validation for positive TTL values and the shared 24-hour maximum.
- Add activity records for drain mutations and tests for status, access
control, validation, and suppression.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-drain.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-scheduling-suppression.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` and compare
its known pre-existing errors with the base commit.
- Confirm that pull request CI reaches a terminal green state.
## Risks
The drain state exists only in process memory, so a restart clears it.
This behavior matches the process-local design. A drain without a TTL
remains active until an operator calls the delete route. The status
route reads in-memory activity sets and does not query stale database
rows.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, extended reasoning with tool use and code
execution. The exact runtime context window is not exposed by the
execution environment.

## 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.
> - The adapter layer carries sandbox requests to host processes.
> - The HTTP/2 bridge used one process-wide byte ledger for all routes.
> - One busy route could exhaust that shared budget and move another
route to file transport.
> - This pull request gives each host retention site a fixed byte bound
and limits concurrent HTTP/2 streams.
> - The benefit is local protection: one route cannot consume the byte
budget of another route.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The HTTP/2 bridge used one aggregate byte ledger for retained bytes
across all routes. A busy route could exhaust the shared budget and
force an unrelated route to use file transport.
**Expected behavior**
Each route should protect its own retained bytes. A reset on one HTTP/2
stream should cancel only that stream's host forward.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start the HTTP/2 bridge with multiple sandbox routes.
2. Send enough retained data through one route to reach the aggregate
byte limit.
3. Send a request through a sibling route.
4. Observe that the sibling route can fall back to file transport
because the first route used the shared ledger.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`47639e227e78e3c5e0dd1a3c0e2d792fe86895a3`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the adapter-utils and server test suites.
## What Changed
- Bound each host retention site with a fixed local byte limit.
- Limited concurrent live HTTP/2 streams with one built-in stream limit.
- Bound each host forward and response-body read to its own HTTP/2
stream lifetime.
- Removed the process-wide byte ledger, its environment override, its
metrics, and its file-transport fallbacks.
- Added tests for the stream limit, host body budget, and sibling-stream
cancellation.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm vitest run --project adapter-utils`.
- Confirm that 996 adapter-utils tests pass.
- Confirm that `test_live_forward_work_never_passes_the_stream_limit`
passes.
- Confirm that `test_the_host_body_budget_matches_the_stream_limit`
passes.
- Confirm that the sibling-stream cancellation test passes.
- Run `pnpm tsc --noEmit`.
- Confirm that all pull request checks pass.
## Risks
The bridge no longer uses a process-wide byte ledger. A local bound or
stream limit that is too low can reject or delay valid work. The tests
cover the new limits and stream cancellation behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The CLI test suite uses embedded Postgres for worktree checks.
> - Several tests start a cluster and run migrations on each test.
> - Runner contention can make this cost class exceed small hand-written
time budgets.
> - A timed-out test can also leave the cluster alive while cleanup
removes its data directory.
> - This pull request gives the cost class one measured timeout and
registers cleanup for the timeout path.
> - The benefit is stable tests and fewer orphaned embedded Postgres
processes.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue tracks this defect. Related PRs #10987 and #10961
address wider embedded-Postgres test setup issues. This pull request
addresses the CLI timeout and cleanup path described below.
**What happened?**
Five CLI tests used different hand-written time budgets while they
started embedded Postgres and ran migrations. Runner contention made one
test exceed its budget. A timeout also skipped the `finally` cleanup
path and left a Postgres process alive.
**Expected behavior**
Each embedded-Postgres test gets a budget that covers measured runner
contention. Cleanup stops the cluster before the test removes its data
directory, including after a timeout.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `npx vitest run cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts` on a
contended runner.
2. Observe the embedded-Postgres tests take longer than their small
hand-written budgets.
3. Inspect the process list after a timeout and observe an orphaned
Postgres process.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The defect reproduces on `master` before this pull request.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with Vitest.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
## What Changed
- Export `EMBEDDED_POSTGRES_TEST_TIMEOUT_MS` from the embedded-Postgres
test helper.
- Apply the shared timeout to every test defined by
`itEmbeddedPostgres`.
- Replace the five hand-written timeout values in `worktree.test.ts`.
- Register temporary-directory removal and cluster stop with
`onTestFinished` in the correct order.
- Restore the working directory during timeout cleanup.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts` passes 63 tests.
- `npx vitest run cli/src` passes 424 tests across 59 files.
- `tsc --noEmit` in `cli/` adds no new error in the touched files.
- CI must pass on the pull request head.
- Greptile must report 5/5 with no unresolved blocking thread.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change affects test helpers and test cleanup only.
- The shared budget can lengthen a failing test before Vitest reports
the failure.
- The cleanup order depends on Vitest callback order, which the tests
now use explicitly.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The model used tool calls and code review support.
The context window size and internal reasoning mode were not exposed in
this run.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter utilities start and control agent sessions.
> - The ACP startup handshake can stay pending when the sandbox
transport closes.
> - A pending handshake keeps the run active and prevents a clear
operator result.
> - This pull request bounds the handshake and fences its abandoned
promise.
> - The result gives each startup failure a terminal state and a safe
host-authored diagnostic.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public issue or pull request appeared in the GitHub search
for this failure. The issue details follow.
**What happened?**
The adapter engine awaited `runtime.ensureSession()` without a startup
bound. A lost sandbox transport could leave the await pending.
**Expected behavior**
The engine must end the run when the startup deadline expires or the
duplex transport closes. A late session result must not reopen the
settled run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an ACP-backed agent run.
2. Keep the ACP initialization call pending.
3. Let the startup deadline expire or close the duplex transport.
4. Confirm that the run reaches a terminal state and that a late session
result does not reopen it.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`66e1c0df8b23cb8354b36dd446d9548dc4389191` merge base.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev (`pnpm dev`).
**Installation method**
Built from source (`pnpm dev`).
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Custom / external plugin adapter.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Relevant logs or output**
The new tests use fixed host-authored diagnostics for handshake guard
failures and late close failures.
**Additional context**
The change updates the execution semantics document and adds regression
coverage. The three existing failures in `execute.test.ts` also occur at
the merge base.
## What Changed
- Bound `runtime.ensureSession()` with a startup deadline and a duplex
transport loss check.
- Added terminal error codes for handshake timeout and transport loss.
- Fenced late session resolution and rejection so the settled run has
one owner.
- Suppressed sandbox-controlled diagnostic values on the guard-failure
and late-close paths.
- Added regression tests for timeout, transport loss, late resolution,
and late close rejection.
- Documented the startup live-path contract.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` exits 0.
- The engine test suite runs from the repository root.
- The new regression cases pass.
- The three known failures remain the only failures and also fail at the
merge base. The board approved this pre-existing test exception.
- Cold start and session resume cases pass.
- All required GitHub checks pass.
- Greptile reports 5/5 with no open P2 findings, recommendations, or
follow-ups.
## Risks
The startup guard changes only the ACP startup path. A slow but valid
startup can now end at the configured deadline. The fence closes a late
handle once and records fixed host-authored diagnostics.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, current model version, tool use and code execution,

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote agent adapters use a process-session wrapper inside a
sandbox.
> - Some supported sandbox filesystems do not report inode creation
time.
> - The wrapper rejects a zero creation time before it launches the

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The remote process-session wrapper exited before it launched the agent
when the sandbox filesystem reported `birthtimeMs` as zero.
**Expected behavior**
The wrapper must start on a filesystem that does not report inode
creation time.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start the remote process-session wrapper.
2. Make `lstat()` report a zero `birthtimeMs` for its session directory.
3. Observe that the pre-fix wrapper terminates before the child process
starts.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced from `66e1c0df8b23cb8354b36dd446d9548dc4389191`.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server with a remote sandbox runtime.
## What Changed
- Allow a zero reported creation time for process-session directories.
- Keep the probe that rejects a creation time copied from change time.
- Add a regression test that launches and stops a session with zero
birth time.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-stdin-race.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`
## Risks
A filesystem without creation time can reduce the precision of
sandbox-local path-swap detection. This change does not change host-file
or Paperclip API authority. A follow-up will review that larger security
posture alignment.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This is a focused compatibility bug fix for
the existing sandbox-agent roadmap area.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - New organizations create their first agent through the onboarding
wizard
> - The wizard does not show provider sign-in when a host credential is
absent or unknown
> - The create step also gives unclear feedback when the provider needs
authentication
> - This pull request adds a safe auth signal and a provider sign-in
step for sandbox drivers
> - The benefit is a clearer onboarding path with no token or account
data in the signal
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (server API, shared types, and UI)
**Problem or motivation**
The onboarding wizard can fail when the selected provider needs
authentication. It does not tell the person how to complete sign-in.
**Proposed solution**
Add a status-only provider auth signal. Show the sign-in panel for
sandbox drivers when the signal says `absent` or `unknown`. Apply a
stored Claude login to the new agent and block creation when the adapter
test reports missing authentication.
**Alternatives considered**
The wizard could hide the sign-in panel when the signal read fails. This
would hide a needed action, so this pull request shows the panel when
the signal is unknown.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change supports the roadmap goal for scoped and audited credential
bindings.
**Additional context**
The auth signal returns only `present`, `absent`, or `unknown`. It never
returns a token, identifier, or account name.
## What Changed
- Add `GET /api/companies/:companyId/adapters/:type/auth-signal` with
company and permission checks.
- Add shared auth-signal types and the UI query path.
- Apply a stored Claude login by reference without reading its token.
- Show the provider sign-in panel only for sandbox drivers with
interactive terminal support.
- Block agent creation when the provider test reports missing
authentication.
- Add route, wizard, and end-to-end test coverage.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test adapter-auth-signal-routes`
passes 50 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui test OnboardingWizard` passes 69 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc --noEmit` exits with code 0.
- The `e2e_shards` lane runs `tests/e2e/onboarding.spec.ts`.
## Risks
The route reads a host-local readiness signal. It returns `unknown` on
read errors and never exposes credential data. The UI may add a sign-in
step when the signal is unavailable.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, extended reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
The exact context window was not provided.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. Describing it inline, following
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`.
Refs #11886 (the dependency bump that introduced the required field).
Refs #12269 (an earlier attempt at this fix; its backfill covers only
`provider_id = 'credential'`).
**What happened?**
Sign-up fails on a self-hosted install. `POST /api/auth/sign-up/email`
answers HTTP 500 with a zero-byte body. The server log carries:
```
[Better Auth]: The field "issuer" does not exist in the "account" Drizzle schema.
# SERVER_ERROR: [BetterAuthError: The field "issuer" does not exist in the "account" Drizzle schema.]
```
The request writes the `user` row and then fails on the `account` row.
The address is stuck after that: a second sign-up answers 422
`USER_ALREADY_EXISTS`, sign-in answers 401, and password reset answers
400 `RESET_PASSWORD_DISABLED` because the account that would hold the
password does not exist.
An upgraded install is worse. `sign-in/email` matches the credential
account on `account.issuer === 'local:credential'`. Rows written before
the upgrade have no issuer, so every existing user is locked out.
**Expected behavior**
`POST /api/auth/sign-up/email` answers 2xx and writes both the `user`
row and its credential `account` row. `POST /api/auth/sign-in/email`
then answers 2xx and sets a session cookie. An install that upgrades
keeps its existing users.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a server from `master` with
`PAPERCLIP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=authenticated` against an empty database.
2. `curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:<port>/api/auth/sign-up/email -H
'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Origin: http://127.0.0.1:<port>'
--data
'{"name":"A","email":"a@example.com","password":"a-long-password"}'`
3. The response is HTTP 500 with an empty body.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at 4436cf0. The defect starts at 69e8585 (#11886), which moved
Better Auth from 1.6.28 to 1.7.0.
**Deployment mode**
`authenticated`. `local_trusted` does not sign users in, so it is not
affected. Hosted tenants are not affected either: that path resolves the
actor from a trusted header and never reads `account`.
**Database mode**
Both. Embedded PostgreSQL and external PostgreSQL use the same Drizzle
schema.
**Relevant logs or output**
Reproduced in a test by reverting the schema change:
```
stderr | better-auth-credential-signup.integration.test.ts
[Better Auth]: The field "issuer" does not exist in the "account" Drizzle schema.
AssertionError: expected 500 to be 200
```
## What Changed
- `packages/db/src/schema/auth.ts`: adds `issuer` (text, NOT NULL) to
`authAccounts`, and the `(issuer, account_id)` unique index that mirrors
the index Better Auth declares on the model. The field name, type,
requiredness, and index all come from
`@better-auth/core/dist/db/get-tables.mjs` in 1.7.0.
- `packages/db/src/migrations/0230_better_auth_account_issuer.sql`: adds
the column, backfills every existing row, sets NOT NULL, and creates the
unique index.
- `packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0230_snapshot.json` and
`_journal.json`: regenerated with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db
generate`.
- `packages/db/src/better-auth-account-issuer-migration.test.ts`: new.
Asserts the schema shape, then rewinds the migration on a real database,
seeds pre-upgrade rows, and re-applies it.
-
`server/src/__tests__/better-auth-credential-signup.integration.test.ts`:
new. Real sign-up and sign-in through the Better Auth mount, against the
real Drizzle schema and a migrated PostgreSQL.
- `cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts`: the worktree seed fixture writes
a credential `account` row, so it now writes `issuer` too.
`server/package.json` and `pnpm-lock.yaml` are untouched. The dependency
is correct; the schema was what was missing.
### The issuer values, and where they come from
Better Auth builds these itself, in
`@better-auth/core/src/db/schema/account.ts`:
```ts
export function createLocalAccountIssuer(providerId: string): string {
return `local:${encodeURIComponent(providerId)}`;
}
export function createOAuthAccountIssuer(providerId: string): string {
return `local:oauth:${encodeURIComponent(providerId)}`;
}
```
Sign-up and sign-in both call `createLocalAccountIssuer("credential")`,
so a credential account is `local:credential`. An OAuth account whose
provider declares no `accountIssuer` of its own is
`local:oauth:<providerId>` — no built-in social provider declares one.
The migration writes exactly those two forms:
```sql
ALTER TABLE "account" ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS "issuer" text;
UPDATE "account"
SET "issuer" = CASE
WHEN "provider_id" = 'credential' THEN 'local:credential'
ELSE 'local:oauth:' || "provider_id"
END
WHERE "issuer" IS NULL;
ALTER TABLE "account" ALTER COLUMN "issuer" SET NOT NULL;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS "account_issuer_account_id_uq" ON "account" USING btree ("issuer","account_id");
```
Two limits are worth stating plainly. The OAuth branch reproduces
`createOAuthAccountIssuer` for provider ids that need no
percent-encoding, which covers every built-in provider id; a provider id
with a character `encodeURIComponent` would escape would get a slightly
different string. And a generic-OAuth provider that sets `accountIssuer`
explicitly (Okta, Auth0, Keycloak, Slack, Line) uses the real issuer
URL, which this migration cannot know. Neither case can arise on
Paperclip today: `createBetterAuthInstance` configures
`emailAndPassword` only and registers no social or generic-OAuth
provider, so every existing row is a credential row. The OAuth branch is
there so the backfill stays total rather than leaving a NULL that aborts
`SET NOT NULL`.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations` — passes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — passes.
- `packages/db` suite: 30 files, 107 tests, all pass.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` — no error in any changed file. (The
wrapped `pnpm typecheck` builds the runner vendor first, which needs
cargo; that toolchain was not available here, so the pre-existing
"cannot find module" errors from the unbuilt workspace packages remain
in the bare run.)
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/run-vitest-stable-shard.test.mjs` —
passes with the new server suite in the file list.
- The two new tests were confirmed to fail without the fix:
- Reverting `packages/db/src/schema/auth.ts` to its `master` content
makes the server test fail with the reported error and `expected 500 to
be 200`.
- Narrowing the backfill to `WHERE "issuer" IS NULL AND "provider_id" =
'credential'` makes the migration test fail with `column "issuer" of
relation "account" contains null values` — the failure mode of #12269.
- End to end against a server built from this branch, started with
`PAPERCLIP_DEPLOYMENT_MODE=authenticated` on embedded PostgreSQL:
- `POST /api/auth/sign-up/email` → 200 with a user and token.
- `POST /api/auth/sign-in/email` → 200 with a session cookie.
- `GET /api/auth/get-session` → 200 with the session.
- The stored row is `issuer = 'local:credential'`, `provider_id =
'credential'`, `account_id = user_id`, and `pg_indexes` lists
`account_issuer_account_id_uq`.
- `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh` was not used as proof: it installs
`paperclipai` from npm inside the container, so it exercises a published
release rather than this branch.
## Risks
- **Migration.** The migration backfills every existing row before `SET
NOT NULL`, so an install that upgrades keeps working and its users keep
signing in. `account` is one row per user per provider, so the
full-table `UPDATE` and the index build are cheap;
`packages/db/src/table-size-estimates.ts` already classes `account` as
small, and `check:migrations` passes with no new safety finding.
- **New unique index.** `(issuer, account_id)` is the key Better Auth
resolves accounts by, so a duplicate would already be a defect. Better
Auth writes one credential account per user keyed on the user id, so the
pair is unique by construction. An install that somehow holds a
duplicate would fail the index build rather than corrupt anything, and
the migration is a single transaction.
- **Orphaned users are not repaired.** An address that hit the broken
window has a `user` row and no `account` row. This migration does not
delete or repair those rows, so that address stays unusable after the
upgrade: sign-up says the user exists, and there is no credential
account to sign in as or reset. Only installs that ran a build
containing #11886 are affected, and the repair — deleting the orphaned
`user` rows — is a judgment call about live data that does not belong in
an automatic migration.
- **Not a behavior change anywhere else.** Only the `account` table
changes. Hosted tenants resolve their actor from a trusted header and
never read it.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter runtime settles each run through a duplex control
channel
> - A lost channel can leave the remote session-close call without a
usable peer
> - The call has no deadline, so run teardown can wait for the full
adapter timeout
> - This pull request skips that remote call after the runtime latches
channel loss
> - The benefit is faster run finalization while the local cleanup
effects remain
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The run teardown placed a remote session-close call over a duplex
control channel that the runtime had already latched as lost. The call
blocked until the adapter execution timeout released it.
**Expected behavior**
Run teardown should release the local warm handle and continue when the
duplex control channel has already failed.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an adapter run with the duplex control channel.
2. Latch a channel-loss state before settlement.
3. Use a runtime whose close call never resolves.
4. Confirm that teardown returns without a remote close call.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit d966069a78.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. The change applies to the shared adapter runtime.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
Pull request #12373 used a larger approach for the same failure. The
board closed that pull request. This pull request contains the smaller
change.
## What Changed
- Add the required readonly `skipRemoteClose` field to the runtime
settlement plan.
- Set the field from the latched channel-loss state on the turn-finalize
plan.
- Set the field to `false` on every other settlement plan.
- Release the warm handle locally before the `end_session` step returns
without the remote call.
- Add a test that drives the lost-channel path through the settlement
sequence.
## Verification
- `./node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils`
- `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts` passes the new
test. Three existing tests fail on the merge base: two
session-fingerprint tests and one workspace-hints test.
- `./node_modules/.bin/vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/run-fault-matrix.test.ts` reports
20 passed.
- Full CI will run on this pull request.
## Risks
The skipped remote close also skips the vendored runtime caller for
`closeBackendSession`. The run can keep a retained client after duplex
loss. A separate follow-up owns that residual. The environment lease
still releases in the teardown `finally` block.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers let agents run in remote environments
> - The Daytona login flow creates a home directory for each login
session
> - The create path ran owner, mode, and link-type checks inside the
sandbox
> - These checks cannot protect the host because sandbox code can change
the checked state
> - This pull request uses one `mkdir -p` command and removes the unused
helper scripts
> - The benefit is a simpler login path with the host-side credential
checks unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The Daytona login flow used helper scripts and inside-sandbox checks for
the session-home directory. The standalone package build also copied a
scripts directory that no longer existed after the helper scripts were
removed.
**Expected behavior**
The login flow must create the session home with one `mkdir -p` command.
The package build must complete without copying a removed directory.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Build the Daytona plugin package.
2. Start a Daytona device login.
3. Inspect the session-home create command and the package output.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `dfdf5914ba37caa1e3bc380236844a7d76237e12`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
## What Changed
- Replace the session-home helper checks with one `mkdir -p` command.
- Remove the two unused session-home helper scripts.
- Remove the dead build copy steps for the deleted scripts directory.
- Add coverage for a failed session-home create command.
- Keep the host-side credential reader unchanged.
- Keep the Kubernetes provider package unchanged.
## Verification
- Package unit tests pass: 220 passed, 6 skipped.
- Package typecheck passes.
- The package build passes and emits 56 files in `dist`.
- The roadmap check confirms that this change stays within the planned
sandbox-provider work.
- GitHub search found no open duplicate or related pull request.
## Risks
The login flow no longer reports owner, mode, or link-type errors from
inside the sandbox. Those checks did not protect the host. The host-side
credential reader still uses no-follow path opens and accepts only a
regular file with owner and exact mode `0600`. Risk is low because this
change removes checks that cannot enforce the host security boundary.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. This pull request updates an
existing sandbox-provider path, not a new core feature.
## Model Used

The runtime does not expose the context window size or a more specific
model identifier.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers run agent work in isolated environments
> - The Daytona inbound file-sync path writes selected sandbox data to
host paths
> - Its in-sandbox lexical and realpath guards do not protect host-write
or Paperclip API authority
> - This pull request removes those guards and simplifies the inbound
file-sync commands
> - The benefit is a smaller path with the same outbound controls and
host extraction validation
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this change. This pull request describes the
enhancement.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
It improves inbound file and directory synchronization for the Daytona
sandbox provider.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/plugins` — the Daytona sandbox provider.
**Current behavior**
The inbound path checks lexical and realpath confinement inside the
sandbox. It uses file-descriptor-pinned commands for file promotion,
archive extraction, and decompression. These checks do not protect
host-write or Paperclip API authority.
**Proposed behavior**
Remove the inbound lexical and realpath checks. Use `mv -f` for file
mappings, `tar -xf` for directory mappings, and `zstd -d -o` for
decompression. Keep outbound source checks, atomic snapshot downloads,
and tarball member validation.
**Reason and benefit**
The sandbox boundary protects the relevant authorities. The removed
guards run inside that boundary and only produce early errors. The
simpler commands reduce code and preserve the controls that protect the
host boundary.
**Breaking changes**
The inbound path no longer rejects mappings because of sandbox-side
lexical or realpath confinement. Outbound source validation and tarball
member validation remain unchanged.
## What Changed
- Remove lexical and realpath confinement guards from inbound file
mappings, inbound directory mappings, and post-upload command working
directories.
- Replace file-descriptor-pinned promotion with one `mv -f` command per
file mapping.
- Replace file-descriptor-pinned extraction with one `tar -xf` command
per directory mapping.
- Replace retained-descriptor decompression with `zstd -d -o`.
- Keep outbound source guards, atomic snapshot-and-download, and tarball
member validation.
- Update Daytona tests for the new command shapes and remove tests for
the removed rejections.
## Verification
- The author ran the Daytona package test suite: 232 tests passed and 6
tests skipped.
- The author ran the Daytona package typecheck successfully.
- Review the diff and confirm it changes only the three Daytona files
named in this description.
- Confirm the Storybook check may report `SKIPPED` as an expected
repository state.
## Risks
The inbound path now trusts the sandbox boundary for host-write
protection. A later change that gives sandbox code host-write or
Paperclip API authority could require new guards. Outbound source checks
and archive member validation remain in place. No Kubernetes or core
runtime file changes exist.

## Thinking Path

work

fixtures

still held connections

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10869
**What happened?**
An embedded PostgreSQL test fixture stopped its cluster while database
clients still held open connections. The postgres.js driver then
scheduled a deferred write on a dead connection. The write caused an
unhandled error after the test shard reported success.
**Expected behavior**
The fixture closes all live clients for its cluster before it stops the
embedded PostgreSQL cluster. Tests then finish without a deferred write
on a dead connection.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the database regression test with the embedded PostgreSQL
fixture.
2. Stop the fixture while its database client still has an open
connection.
3. Observe the deferred write and the process exit status.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Branch base: bdd8f1bed. Change head:
93e85d2ba1.
**Deployment mode**
Local dev with the embedded PostgreSQL test fixture.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific. This change covers database test infrastructure.
**Database mode**
Embedded PGlite.
**Additional context**
The change keeps client references weak and keys them by host and port.
It does not retain credentials. It also handles connection URLs that the
driver accepts when the URL parser rejects them.
## What Changed
- Add a registry for live database clients in the database package.
- Close registered clients before the embedded PostgreSQL fixture stops
its cluster.
- Add a regression test for the teardown race.
- Handle driver-compatible URLs that the standard URL parser rejects.
- Add cleanup for the shared route test harness.
## Verification
- Run the full `packages/db` suite.
- Run `tsc --noEmit` in `packages/db`.
- Run the server suite that uses `route-test-harness.ts`.
- Run the teardown regression test five times.
- Confirm that the negative control fails three times.
- Confirm that no shard reports green tests and exits with an error.
## Risks
The registry changes client cleanup for embedded test fixtures. Weak
references limit retained memory in long-lived processes. The registry
uses host and port only, so it does not retain credentials. No
migration, schema, API, telemetry, authentication, or cryptography
change exists.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review support, standard
reasoning mode. The implementing engineer supplied the code and
verification results.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip keeps its state in PostgreSQL, and `packages/db` owns that
schema through Drizzle
> - `drizzle-kit generate` writes a new migration by diffing
`packages/db/src/schema/` against the newest snapshot in
`packages/db/src/migrations/meta/`, so the snapshot must describe the
schema that the migrations produce
> - Snapshot `0228` recorded the new `error_count` column on the wrong
table, and snapshot `0229` inherited the error, so the newest snapshot
no longer matched the schema
> - Because of that, `generate` on `master` folded the drift into any
new migration: it emitted an `ADD COLUMN` for a column that migration
`0228` already creates, which fails on a fresh database, plus an
out-of-scope `DROP COLUMN`
> - This pull request moves the column entry to the correct table in
both snapshots and adds a test that repeats the diff `generate` performs
> - The benefit is that the next person who generates a migration gets
only their own change, and CI fails if the snapshot drifts again
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml`.
**What happened?**
`drizzle-kit generate` on `master` emits a wrong migration. The newest
snapshot, `packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0229_snapshot.json`,
disagrees with the schema in two places. It omits
`issue_question_response_deliveries.error_count`, which
`0228_nasty_grim_reaper.sql` creates. It also carries
`decision_archive_notification_outbox.error_count`, which no migration
ever creates and the Drizzle schema never declared. Snapshot `0228`
introduced both halves of the error: it added the new `error_count`
column to `decision_archive_notification_outbox` instead of the table
that the same migration creates. Snapshot `0229` copied it forward. Any
new migration therefore starts with two statements that do not belong to
it:
```sql
ALTER TABLE "issue_question_response_deliveries" ADD COLUMN "error_count" integer DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE "decision_archive_notification_outbox" DROP COLUMN "error_count";
```
The `ADD COLUMN` fails on a fresh database, because migration `0228`
already creates that column. The `DROP COLUMN` targets a column that
does not exist on any deployment.
**Expected behavior**
`drizzle-kit generate` reports "No schema changes, nothing to migrate"
on a clean checkout of `master`, and a new migration contains only the
author's own schema change.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check out `master` at commit `bc1a21564`.
2. Run `pnpm install`.
3. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db generate`.
4. Read the emitted `packages/db/src/migrations/0230_*.sql`. It contains
the two statements above, and no schema file was changed.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `bc1a21564`. The drift entered in #12307 (snapshot `0228`)
and was carried forward by #12291 (snapshot `0229`), which worked around
it by building its snapshot by hand.
**Deployment mode**
Not deployment specific. It affects anyone who generates a migration,
and it affects any fresh database that would later run the bad
migration.
**Database mode**
All PostgreSQL modes: embedded, local Docker, and hosted.
## What Changed
- Moved the `error_count` column entry from
`decision_archive_notification_outbox` to
`issue_question_response_deliveries` in
`packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0228_snapshot.json` and
`packages/db/src/migrations/meta/0229_snapshot.json`. Both files keep
their `id` and `prevId`, so the snapshot chain is unchanged.
- Added `packages/db/src/migration-snapshot-drift.test.ts`. It reads the
newest snapshot named by `_journal.json`, serializes the schema modules
with `generateDrizzleJson`, and asserts that `generateMigration` returns
no statements. This is the same diff that `generate` performs.
- Documented the snapshot rule in `doc/DATABASE.md` under a new
"Migration snapshots" section.
No migration SQL was added, renumbered, or edited. No schema file
changed. The database is correct as it is; only the snapshot was wrong.
Why both snapshots and not only the newest one: `0229` is the file that
`generate` reads, so repairing it is what fixes the bug. `0228` holds
the same error, and `drizzle-kit drop` removes the last migration and
its snapshot, which would promote `0228` back to newest and bring the
drift back. Repairing both removes that trap. Snapshots are never
applied to a database, so neither edit changes any deployment.
## Verification
Commands run from the repository root.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db generate` — "No schema changes, nothing
to migrate 😴". It writes no SQL file, no snapshot, and no journal entry.
`git status` stays clean. Before the fix, the same command wrote
`0230_fast_caretaker.sql` with the two spurious statements.
- The repaired `0229_snapshot.json` is byte-identical to the snapshot
that a real `generate` run produced, except for the `id` and `prevId`
that keep the chain intact.
- Chain check: the repaired `0228` and `0229` snapshots now differ by
exactly the two columns that
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes.sql` drops,
`companies.brand_color` and `companies.attachment_max_bytes`, and by
nothing else.
- Database check: applied all 229 migrations in order to an embedded
PostgreSQL, then compared the live schema with the repaired snapshot.
179 tables and 2687 columns match, with no missing column, no extra
column, and no nullability difference. The same comparison against the
pre-fix snapshot reports exactly two problems: `column only in snapshot:
decision_archive_notification_outbox.error_count` and `column only in
database: issue_question_response_deliveries.error_count`. This harness
was a scratch script and is not part of the pull request.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — pass. It runs
`check:migrations`, which is `check-migration-numbering` and
`check-migration-safety`.
- `npx vitest run --root packages/db` — 28 files, 102 tests, all pass.
This includes the new test.
- New test, negative case: with the pre-fix `0229_snapshot.json`
restored, `migration-snapshot-drift.test.ts` fails and prints exactly
the two spurious statements, plus the instruction to run `generate`. It
passes on the repaired snapshot. It takes about 1.2 seconds and needs no
database.
- `node scripts/check-forbidden-tokens.mjs` and `node
scripts/check-no-git-push.mjs` — pass.
## Risks
Low risk. A Drizzle snapshot is a build-time record for `drizzle-kit
generate`. It is never applied to a database, so this change cannot
alter any deployment, and no operator action is needed. Databases that
already ran migrations `0228` and `0229` are correct today and stay
correct.
The proof is a clean `generate`: the command that produced the wrong
migration now reports "No schema changes, nothing to migrate" and writes
nothing.
Two smaller notes:
- The new test depends on `drizzle-kit/api`, which is already a dev
dependency of `packages/db`. If a future `drizzle-kit` upgrade changes
that surface, the test fails loudly at import rather than passing
silently.
- The test imports every module in `packages/db/src/schema/`, which is
the same set that `drizzle.config.ts` points the CLI at. It deduplicates
by object identity, because the barrel re-exports the same table objects
and `drizzle-kit` rejects a table it sees twice.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A company is the top-level container, and the company General page
holds its settings
> - Two of those settings did almost nothing: the brand color only
tinted the generated company icon, and the attachment size limit sat
under the deployment-level `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` cap that
already bounded every upload
> - A setting that changes one icon hue, and a setting that can only
lower a limit the operator already set, are not worth the page space or
the code that carries them
> - This pull request deletes both settings from the UI, the validators,
the API contract, the server, and the database
> - With the deployment cap as the only limit left, the message a person
sees when an upload is rejected has to name that limit in terms they can
act on, so the raw byte count becomes a human-readable size
> - The benefit is a shorter company General page for every deployment,
one attachment limit instead of two, and less code between an upload and
its ceiling
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The company General page (`/company/settings`), the `PATCH
/api/companies/{companyId}` and `PATCH
/api/companies/{companyId}/branding` request contracts, and the
attachment upload limit on task, case, and company-import uploads.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `ui/`, `server/`, `packages/shared`, `packages/db`.
**Current behavior**
The company General page shows an "Appearance" section with three
controls: Logo, Brand color, and Attachment size limit. The brand color
is a hex value that feeds one thing — the hue of the generated company
pattern icon. Companies that never set one already get a hue derived
from the company name. The attachment size limit is a per-company byte
count stored on `companies.attachment_max_bytes`. Every upload path
clamps it against the deployment-level `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES`
cap, so the per-company value can only lower a limit the operator
already chose.
**Proposed behavior**
The Appearance section keeps the Logo control only. The company pattern
icon always derives its hue from the company name. Every attachment path
reads the deployment cap directly, so `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES`
is the single limit. An upload rejected by that limit says so in human
units — "File is larger than the 10 MB limit" rather than a raw byte
count. The `companies.brand_color` and `companies.attachment_max_bytes`
columns are dropped, and both fields leave the company API contract.
**Reason and benefit**
Both settings ask an operator to make a decision that changes almost
nothing. The brand color moves one icon hue on a page that also lets you
upload a real logo, which overrides the icon entirely. The attachment
limit reads as a real control but cannot raise anything, so it is a
second place to look when an upload is rejected. Removing both shortens
the page every deployment sees, removes a company-scoped read from the
task attachment upload path, and leaves one attachment limit to reason
about instead of two.
**Breaking changes**
The company API responses no longer include `brandColor` or
`attachmentMaxBytes`, and `GET /api/invites/{token}` no longer includes
`companyBrandColor`. `PATCH /api/companies/{companyId}/branding` is
strict, so a request that sends `brandColor` now returns 400; the
non-strict `PATCH /api/companies/{companyId}` schema strips it. Company
packages exported by older versions still import: the portability
company manifest schema is non-strict, so the retired keys are stripped
and ignored rather than rejected. Companies that stored a brand color
lose it — their icon reverts to the name-derived hue that every company
without a color already used.
## What Changed
- Removed the "Brand color" and "Attachment size limit" fields from the
company General page, along with their state, dirty checks, save
payload, and Save-button gating.
- Removed `brandColor` and `attachmentMaxBytes` from
`createCompanySchema`, `updateCompanySchema`, and
`updateCompanyBrandingSchema`, and deleted the now-orphaned
`DEFAULT_COMPANY_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` and
`MAX_COMPANY_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` constants.
- Removed both fields from the `Company` type, the portability manifest
type and schema, and the `companiesApi.update` payload allowlist.
- Dropped `brandColor` from `CompanyPatternIcon` and its callers, so the
icon hue always comes from the company name. Deleted the now-unused
`hexToHue` helper and the now-unused `pickTextColorForSolidBg` export.
- Stopped emitting `brandColor` from the company service selection and
from the invite-summary and invite-branding payloads in
`server/src/routes/access.ts`.
- Replaced `normalizeIssueAttachmentMaxBytes` with the deployment cap:
task attachments, case attachments, and company import now use
`MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES` directly. The helper is deleted.
- Added `formatAttachmentSize()` next to `MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES` and
routed every over-limit message through it, so a rejected upload names
the limit in human units instead of raw bytes: `Image exceeds 10485760
bytes` becomes `Image is larger than the 10 MB limit`. Enforcement is
unchanged — the same single cap, the same multer limits, the same status
codes and response shapes.
- Added migration
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes.sql` and removed
both columns from the Drizzle `companies` schema.
- Kept legacy imports working: the portability company manifest schema
is non-strict, so older packages carrying the retired keys still import
with the keys ignored.
- Updated the skill API reference and the implementation spec, and
pruned the token-extraction allowlist entries that the removed code made
stale.
## Verification
Commands run from the repository root:
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — pass
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — pass (includes
`check:migrations`, which validates the new migration number and journal
entry)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — pass
- server typecheck via `node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit` in `server/` —
pass. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` could not run
locally because it builds the Rust runner first and `cargo` is not
installed on this machine; the TypeScript step it wraps is the command
above.
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/company.test.ts` — 6
passed
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — 90
passed
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/attachment-types.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-attachment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts` — 165 passed (the
human-readable limit messages)
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/company-branding-route.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-attachment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/invite-summary-route.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openclaw-invite-prompt-route.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/companies-route-cross-company-authz.test.ts` — all
passed
- `npx vitest run cli/src/__tests__/company.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/company-delete.test.ts` — 27 passed
- `npx vitest run` in `ui/` — 4425 passed, 1 pre-existing failure
unrelated to this change (`OnboardingWizard.test.tsx` "renders instead
of throwing when the browser denies storage access", which also fails on
`master`)
- `npx vitest run` in `server/` — see the note below
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` — no new violations; the only
reported violations are the pre-existing `PillGuy.tsx` ones present on
`master`
New tests added:
- `packages/shared/src/validators/company.test.ts` — the create and
update schemas strip the retired keys, the strict branding schema
rejects `brandColor`, and the portability manifest schema accepts a
legacy entry carrying both keys and drops them.
- `server/src/__tests__/company-branding-route.test.ts` — `PATCH
/api/companies/{companyId}/branding` returns 400 for `brandColor` and
does not call the company service.
- `server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — a legacy package
that declares `brandColor` and `attachmentMaxBytes` imports
successfully, and neither key reaches `companies.create`.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-attachment-routes.test.ts` — the effective
task attachment limit is the deployment cap, and the route no longer
loads the company to size an upload.
- `server/src/__tests__/attachment-types.test.ts` —
`formatAttachmentSize()` renders the default cap as `10 MB`, keeps one
decimal place for fractional sizes and drops a trailing `.0`, falls back
to KB and bytes for small caps, steps up to GB, and never emits `NaN`
for a degenerate input.
- `server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts` — the asset-image and
company-logo routes both return the human-readable limit message on an
over-cap upload.
## Merge with master
`master` moved while this was open, and the merge needed two
resolutions:
- **`ui/src/pages/CompanySettings.tsx`.** #12243 reworded the
user-facing
copy from "company" to "organization", and that rewording landed inside
the "Brand color" and "Attachment size limit" hints — the two fields
this change deletes. Both fields are removed, so the conflicted block is
dropped whole. The Logo field and every other copy change from #12243
are
kept.
- **Migration renumbered 0228 -> 0229.** #12307 landed
`0228_nasty_grim_reaper`, so this migration is now
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes`. Its snapshot
is
rebuilt from master's `0228_snapshot.json` with only the two `companies`
columns removed, and `meta/_journal.json` is master's journal plus a
single `idx: 229` entry. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db
check:migrations`
passes.
The snapshot was rebuilt by hand rather than taken from `drizzle-kit
generate`, because master's `0228_snapshot.json` has drifted from
master's
own schema: `issue_question_response_deliveries.error_count` is created
by
master's 0228 SQL but missing from its snapshot, and the snapshot still
carries `decision_archive_notification_outbox.error_count`. Regenerating
folds both into this migration, and the resulting `ADD COLUMN
error_count`
would fail on a fresh database where master's 0228 already created that
column. Rebuilding from master's snapshot leaves that drift exactly
where
it is and keeps this migration to the two column drops. The drift is
pre-existing on master and is not addressed here.
## Risks
- **The migration is a destructive column drop.**
`0229_drop_company_brand_color_and_attachment_max_bytes.sql` removes
`companies.brand_color` and `companies.attachment_max_bytes`. It is safe
because both features are removed in the same change and nothing reads
either column after it. The statements use `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS`,
matching the convention of the recent drop migrations in this
repository. The drop is not reversible: a downgrade after this migration
loses any stored values.
- **Stored brand colors are lost.** A company that had set a color now
renders the name-derived icon hue that every company without a color
already used. No other surface changes, and an uploaded logo still
overrides the icon.
- **API response shape narrows.** `brandColor` and `attachmentMaxBytes`
leave the company payloads, and `companyBrandColor` leaves the invite
summary payload. A client reading those fields now sees `undefined`. The
bundled UI and CLI are updated in this change.
- **Legacy imports are covered.** Packages exported by older versions
still carry both keys. The manifest schema is non-strict, so the keys
are stripped rather than rejected, and a test locks that in.
- **The over-limit message strings changed.** Anything matching on the
old `... exceeds N bytes` text — a test, a script, or a client that
string-matches `body.error` — needs updating. The status codes (422) and
response shapes are unchanged, so structured clients are unaffected.
- **Attachment limits can only widen.** A deployment that had lowered a
company below the deployment cap now allows uploads up to the cap for
that company. Lower `PAPERCLIP_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES` if a smaller
ceiling is needed.
- **Storybook visual baselines shift** for the `CompanyPatternIcon`
matrix story, because those fixtures had brand colors. That workflow
runs only on a PR labeled `storybook-visual`, so it does not gate this
PR; regenerate the baselines if the label is added.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; describing the issue inline per the enhancement
template:
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The instance settings surface — specifically the Settings → Heartbeats
page, which listed scheduler heartbeat agents instance-wide with
enable/disable toggles. The view no longer makes sense as a standalone
settings page: the same controls are available on each agent's
configuration surface, and the instance-wide list framing does not match
how heartbeat agents are managed.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `ui/` (page, route, navigation), `packages/shared`
(settings-visibility registry), docs.
**Current behavior**
The page renders at `/company/settings/instance/heartbeats`, appears in
the settings sidebar and tab bar, and is hideable by hosting operators
via the `instance.heartbeats` key of `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`.
**Proposed behavior**
The page, route, and navigation entries are removed for every
deployment. The `instance.heartbeats` registry key is retired; operator
lists that still send it are logged and ignored, so mixed-version fleets
keep working. Remembered settings paths pointing at the old page remap
to the settings root. Heartbeat APIs are unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
A smaller, coherent settings surface with no duplicated controls; less
navigation noise and maintenance for every deployment.
**Breaking changes**
None functional. Bookmarks and remembered paths to the removed page land
on the settings root; `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` lists that still
include `instance.heartbeats` log a warning and are otherwise honored
unchanged.
## What Changed
- Deleted `ui/src/pages/InstanceSettings.tsx` (the Heartbeats view) and
its route in `ui/src/App.tsx`.
- Removed the sidebar entry (`CompanySettingsSidebar`) and tab-bar item
(`CompanySettingsNav`).
- Removed `"/heartbeats"` from the remembered-settings-path allowlist;
remembered heartbeats paths now remap to the settings root.
- Retired the `instance.heartbeats` key from the shared
settings-visibility registry and the environment-variables doc;
documented that retired keys are ignored with a warning.
- Dropped the now-unused UI client wrapper for the instance
scheduler-agent list (`heartbeatsApi.listInstanceSchedulerAgents`); the
server endpoint stays.
- Removed the unused `schedulerHeartbeats` query key.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts
ui/src/lib/instance-settings.test.ts
ui/src/components/CompanySettingsSidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/components/access/CompanySettingsNav.test.tsx` — 24 tests
passing.
- Full `ui` vitest suite: 4426 tests, 4 failures — all in files this PR
does not touch; 3 were load-induced timeouts that pass on rerun, and
`OnboardingWizard.test.tsx` "renders instead of throwing when the
browser denies storage access" fails identically on a clean master
checkout (pre-existing).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/shared typecheck` — clean.
- Merged `master` to clear a conflict (see below) and re-ran the four
focused suites (24 passing), `ui/src/App.test.tsx` and
`ui/src/plugins/bridge.test.ts` (22 passing), and both typechecks — all
clean. Full CI is green on the merge commit.
## Merge With master
`master` gained the `company` → `organization` copy pass (#12243), which
reworded strings inside `ui/src/pages/InstanceSettings.tsx` — the page
this branch deletes — producing a modify/delete conflict. Resolved by
keeping the deletion: the page is going away, so the rewording of its
copy has nothing to apply to. Every other file merged cleanly, and
`master`'s rewording in `App.tsx`, `App.test.tsx`, and
`CompanySettingsSidebar.tsx` sits away from this branch's structural
removals, so both changes survive. The net diff against `master` is
unchanged from the pre-merge review: the same 13 files, 23 insertions,
330 deletions.
## Risks
- Low. Pure removal of a UI surface; heartbeat data and APIs are
untouched. Operators still listing `instance.heartbeats` in
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` get a warning log and otherwise unchanged
behavior (covered by the registry's unknown-key handling). Bookmarks and
remembered paths to the old page land on the settings root.

## Thinking Path

work
> - Hosting operators (a managed cloud, an internal shared server) tune
the settings surface with `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`, but hiding a
control never changes its value

schema default ("prompt") keeps prompting users even when the operator
hid the control, leaving them no way to answer

settings

with "default the value", while explicit user choices and self-hosted
stock behavior stay untouched
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; following the enhancement template:
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Hosting operators need to supply the default value of selected instance
settings (first: `feedbackDataSharingPreference`) via configuration,
without patching code and without a hard-coded, opinionated constant in
the product.
**Subsystem affected**
Server (instance-settings service, feedback service, boot) and
`packages/shared` (settings schemas).
**Current behavior**
Setting defaults are fixed in the shared zod schemas.
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` can hide the feedback-sharing control and
floor writes, but the stored value stays "prompt", so issue-chat
surfaces keep prompting with no way to answer.
**Proposed behavior**
`PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` takes a JSON object validated against a
shared registry of defaultable fields. The operator value substitutes
for the schema default at read time: a field whose effective value is
still the schema default resolves to the operator value; an explicit
non-default user choice always wins. Never persisted; unsetting the
variable restores stock behavior. Malformed JSON or an invalid value for
a known field refuses startup (fail closed); unknown field names warn
and are ignored (mixed-version fleet safe).
**Reason and benefit**
Any hosting operator can pair "hide the control" with "default the
value" without forking the product. Explicit user choices and
self-hosted stock behavior stay untouched.
**Breaking changes**
None. With the variable unset, every read path is byte-identical to
before.
## What Changed
- New `packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.ts`:
`SETTING_DEFAULTS_ENV_KEY`, `DEFAULTABLE_GENERAL_SETTINGS` registry
(currently `feedbackDataSharingPreference`), `parseSettingDefaults`
(fail-closed for policy content, warn-ignore unknown fields),
`applyOperatorGeneralDefaults` (pure read-time overlay),
`stripOperatorGeneralEchoes` (persist-time echo strip, see below),
re-exported from the package index.
- New `server/src/services/setting-defaults.ts`: parse-once accessor
mirroring `settings-visibility.ts`.
- `server/src/services/instance-settings.ts`: `toGeneralView` applies
the overlay in `get`/`getGeneral`/update responses; persisted writes
never carry operator values. Because general-settings writes materialize
every field, a stored schema-default value is treated as unchosen —
deliberate, documented, and covered by tests.
- `server/src/services/feedback.ts`: the preference-persistence branch
now checks the effective (overlaid) preference, so a stray prompt answer
cannot overwrite an operator default; its local normalize fallback now
returns full schema defaults.
- `server/src/index.ts`: boot-time fail-fast parse with a log line
naming the defaulted settings, mirroring the managed-config posture.
- The hidden-settings write floor (`assertNoHiddenSettingChanges`) keeps
comparing against effective values, so clients echoing a full GET
response keep working. To keep the overlay strictly read-time,
`updateGeneral` strips such echoes at persist time: a write of the
operator value over a field whose stored value is still the schema
default (unchosen) maps back to the schema default, so an echo cannot
promote the operator value into an explicit stored choice and later
changes to (or removal of) `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` still take
effect. A write of any other value, or over an explicit stored choice,
persists as given.
- Docs: `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` row + "Operator setting defaults"
section in `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`.
- Tests: `packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.test.ts` (parse matrix,
overlay precedence, echo-strip matrix, immutability) and
`server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-operator-defaults.test.ts`
(accessor, substitution, explicit-choice wins, unset identity,
never-persisted, full-GET echo stays unchosen, explicit non-default
write persists).
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-operator-defaults.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts` — 33
tests passing.
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 57 passing;
`npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/feedback-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-feedback-routes.test.ts` — 18 passing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Low. With the variable unset every read path is byte-identical to
before (identity overlay, covered by tests). The overlay is read-time
only and never persisted, so no migration and no data risk. Fail-closed
parsing means a bad policy value is a loud boot failure rather than
silent drift — consistent with the existing managed-config contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; following the enhancement template:
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` can hide the whole Secrets page
(`company.secrets`) but not individual tabs. Operators of managed
deployments need to hide the Provider vaults and Proposals tabs while
keeping the rest of the page.
**Subsystem affected**
Settings visibility (`packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.ts`) and
the Secrets page UI (`ui/src/pages/Secrets.tsx`).
**Current behavior**
The Secrets page always renders all four tabs (Secrets, My secrets,
Provider vaults, Proposals), polls pending proposals for the badge, and
offers "manage vaults" affordances that jump to the vaults tab.
**Proposed behavior**
Two new registry keys, `company.secrets.vaults` and
`company.secrets.proposals`, hide the corresponding tab: the tab-bar
entry disappears, an active hidden tab snaps back to Secrets, the
manage-vaults affordances are suppressed, and the pending-proposals poll
stops. UI visibility only — the provider-config and proposal APIs stay
live for agents and integrations, matching the existing `company.*`
precedent. Nothing changes when the variable is unset.
**Reason and benefit**
Any hosting operator (a managed cloud, an internal shared server) can
trim the Secrets page to what fits their deployment — for example when
the operator provisions provider credentials itself, so the vault and
proposal flows do not apply — without losing the Secrets and My secrets
tabs, which stay essential everywhere.
**Breaking changes**
None. With `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` unset (or set to existing keys
only) nothing changes; older app versions receiving the new keys ignore
them with a warning by design.
## What Changed
- `packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.ts`: new
`HIDEABLE_COMPANY_SECTIONS` group (`company.secrets.vaults`,
`company.secrets.proposals`), `HideableCompanySection` type,
`hidesCompanySection()` helper, wired into `HideableSettingKey` /
`HIDEABLE_SETTING_KEYS`, re-exported from the package index.
- `ui/src/pages/Secrets.tsx`: tab-bar filtering, hidden-tab snap-back
effect, gated pending-proposals query, conditional `onManageVaults` on
both the import button and dialog (the button's "AWS vault disabled —
manage" affordance renders nothing when vaults are hidden), hidden
`TabsContent` blocks.
- Docs: new bullet in `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md` under
"Hiding settings surfaces".
- Tests: registry membership/parse cases in
`settings-visibility.test.ts`; new render cases in
`Secrets.render.test.tsx` (hidden tabs absent + proposals poll skipped;
default render keeps both tabs and the poll).
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx` — 43 tests passing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
## Risks
- Low. Nothing changes with `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` unset (covered
by the default-render test). The keys are UI-visibility only, so
agent/integration API access is unaffected. Older app versions receiving
the new keys ignore them with a warning by design.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Humans oversee those agents in teams, so each person has a login and
a profile with an avatar
> - Avatars, logos and pasted images all go to one asset upload API,
which files each object under a namespace
> - The avatar namespace embeds the user id, and a deployment can take
user ids from an external identity layer, where a subject often holds
":", "|", "." or "@"
> - But the namespace validator accepted only letters, numbers, "/", "_"
and "-", so those users got a 400 "Invalid image metadata" error and
could not set a profile photo
> - This pull request widens the accepted characters, rejects "." and
".." path segments with a clear message, and cleans the namespace in the
upload client
> - The benefit is that profile photo upload works for every user, and a
namespace the API refuses now returns a message that says what is wrong
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No existing issue or open pull request covers this. I searched the issue
and pull request lists for "avatar upload", "profile photo", "Invalid
image metadata" and "asset namespace" and found no duplicate. The bug
report follows.
**What happened?**
Profile photo upload fails. `ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.tsx` sends the
namespace `profiles/${user.id}` to `POST
/api/companies/:companyId/assets/images`. When the user id comes from an
external identity layer it can contain ":", "|", "." or "@" — for
example `oidc:example|jane.example@example.com`.
`createAssetImageMetadataSchema` in
`packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts` accepted only
`/^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_-]+$/`, so the route returned 400 "Invalid image
metadata" (`server/src/routes/assets.ts`). The image bytes were never
the problem, but the message pointed at the image, so the toast gave the
user nothing to act on.
A second case has the same cause. The agent instructions editor in
`ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx` builds a namespace that ends with a
filename, such as `agents/<id>/instructions/SKILL.md`. The "." in the
filename also failed the check.
**Expected behavior**
A profile photo uploads for any user id the app itself issues, and an
image pasted into the agent instructions editor uploads for any
instruction filename. A namespace the API does refuse returns a message
that names the field and states the rule.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run Paperclip with an external identity provider, so `user.id` holds
an OIDC subject such as `oidc:example|jane.example@example.com`.
2. Open Settings, then Profile.
3. Choose an avatar image.
4. The upload fails and the page shows "Invalid image metadata".
Or, with no identity provider:
1. Open an agent, then the instructions editor, and select a file whose
name contains a "." such as `SKILL.md`.
2. Paste an image into the editor.
3. The upload fails with the same error.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at eb86fcd49.
**Deployment mode**
Any deployment whose user ids come from an external identity layer. The
instructions-editor case reproduces on a plain self-hosted install too.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
## What Changed
- `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts`: widen the namespace pattern
to `/^[a-zA-Z0-9\/_.:@|-]+$/`, and reject any "/"-separated segment
equal to "." or "..". A traversal attempt now gets a clean 400 from the
validator instead of an error from the storage provider.
- `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts`: add
`sanitizeAssetNamespace()`, which maps any string to a namespace the
schema accepts. It works per segment: it keeps the accepted characters,
turns the others into "-", collapses repeated dashes, drops empty and
dot-only segments, and caps the result at 120 characters. It returns
`undefined` when no segment survives, and the caller then sends no
namespace.
- `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.ts`: export
`ASSET_NAMESPACE_MAX_LENGTH` and `ASSET_NAMESPACE_RULE`, so the rule
text and the API error cannot drift apart.
- `ui/src/api/assets.ts`: run the namespace through
`sanitizeAssetNamespace()` in `uploadImage`. This is one choke point for
all callers, so no caller has to know the rule.
- `server/src/routes/assets.ts`: name the field in the 400 message —
`Invalid image metadata: "namespace" must be 1-120 characters of
letters, numbers, or / _ - . : @ |, and cannot contain "." or ".." path
segments`. The zod issue details stay in the response. The UI shows
`body.error`, so the toast is now actionable.
- Tests: a new `packages/shared/src/validators/asset.test.ts`
accept/reject matrix for the schema and the sanitizer; three cases in
`server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts`; one case in
`ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.test.tsx`.
## Verification
Targeted runs:
```
npx vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/asset.test.ts # 22 passed
npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/assets.test.ts # 11 passed
npx vitest run ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.test.tsx # 2 passed
```
New cases:
- Schema: accepts identity-provider ids that hold ":", "|", "." and "@";
accepts `agents/<id>/instructions/SKILL.md`; rejects `profiles/bad
name!`, over-length input, and `.` or `..` segments.
- Sanitizer: passes identity-provider ids through unchanged, replaces
and collapses the other characters, drops the `.` and `..` segments
while keeping a segment of three or more dots, caps at 120 characters
without leaving a dot segment behind at the cut, and returns `undefined`
when nothing survives. One case asserts the sanitizer output always
parses.
- Route: 201 for `profiles/oidc:example|jane.example@example.com`, and
the storage service receives that namespace; 400 naming `namespace` for
`profiles/bad name!`; 400 for `profiles/../secrets`.
- UI: a session user id holding ":" and "|" uploads, and the namespace
reaches the API unchanged.
Typecheck:
```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck # clean
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck # clean
cd server && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json # clean
```
Package suites:
```
npx vitest run --project @paperclipai/shared --exclude "**/dist/**" # 586 passed, 8 pre-existing failures in src/worktree-seed-source.test.ts
npx vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui --exclude "**/dist/**" # 4402 passed
```
CI runs the server suite as ten shards (five general, five serialized),
which is the authoritative full run for this package. All shards pass on
this branch.
The `worktree-seed-source` failures reproduce on an unmodified checkout
of the same base commit and are unrelated to this change. The UI
failures seen in that run were 5-second test timeouts caused by running
two suites at once on one machine; each file passes when it runs alone.
No document states the namespace character rule — I checked `docs/` and
`doc/`, where the asset upload endpoint appears only in an OpenAPI
registry entry and a smoke-lab note, neither of which describes the
metadata fields. The rule now lives in one exported constant that the
API error reuses.
## Risks
Low risk.
- The wider character set does not widen what a caller can write to
disk. `server/src/storage/service.ts` already replaces every character
outside `[a-zA-Z0-9._-]` in each path segment, and
`server/src/storage/local-disk-provider.ts` already rejects "." and ".."
segments and any key that resolves outside the base directory. This
change moves the "." and ".." refusal earlier, to the validator, so the
caller gets a clear 400.
- The API is more permissive than before, so no request that used to
succeed can start failing.
- Namespaces stored before this change keep working. The namespace is
not a key that is looked up; it is a prefix under which new objects are
filed.
- One behavior change worth noting: the UI now cleans a namespace
instead of sending it as typed, so a caller that passes an unusable
namespace gets a cleaned prefix rather than a failed upload.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Adapter utilities transfer files between the host and an agent
environment
> - A sandbox target already provides the security boundary for inbound
files
> - The generic fallback adds a temporary file and a rename that do not
add protection inside that boundary
> - This pull request writes a mode-constrained inbound file directly to
its target and applies the mode after the write
> - The benefit is a simpler transfer path while host targets keep the
strict pre-write mode rule
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The inbound file-sync fallback for a mode-constrained file stages the
file under a temporary name, applies the mode, and renames the file into
place.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapter-utils` and `packages/plugins`.
**Current behavior**
A sandbox target uses a temporary path before it receives the file. The
host then changes the mode and renames the file to the target path.
**Proposed behavior**
A sandbox target receives the file at its target path. The host applies
the mode after the write. A host target still applies the mode before
the first byte.
**Reason and benefit**
The sandbox boundary already protects the target. The direct write
removes an unnecessary staging path and rename.
**Breaking changes**
None. The directory path and outbound transfer path keep their existing
behavior.
## What Changed
- Write a mode-constrained single-file inbound transfer directly to the
sandbox target.
- Apply the mode after the direct write and keep the confinement check
before post-upload commands.
- Scope the protocol comment by transfer direction and preserve the
strict host-target rule.
- Keep directory inbound transfers and outbound transfers unchanged.
## Verification
- Run the targeted unit suite for the changed package.
- Verify the suite covers direct target writes, post-write mode
application, and confinement rejection.
- Run `tsc --noEmit` for both changed packages.
- Review the full GitHub Actions check set after the PR opens.
## Risks
- A sandbox provider that assumes a temporary inbound path could expose
a behavior mismatch.
- The confinement check remains before post-upload commands, which
limits escape risk.
- Host targets keep the pre-write mode rule, so host permission behavior
does not change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can pause a task and ask the user structured questions.
> - The answer is durable in the issue interaction, but delivery to the
next run is not durable.
> - A process restart can therefore leave an answered interaction
without a continuation attempt.
> - Native runners also need a provider-neutral question contract before
the task page can consume native events safely.
> - This pull request adds a content-free delivery outbox and an
optional native steering seam.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing heartbeat continuation path.
> - The benefit is reliable answer delivery without changing runtime
selection or task-page behavior.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12202. This pull request replaces the question-delivery foundation
from that stale task-thread pull request. The task-thread projection
will follow in a smaller pull request.
**What happened?**
Question answers were stored in the issue interaction. The server then
made one in-memory continuation wake. A server stop between those
operations could leave the answer stored but not delivered. The combined
native task-thread pull request also made this behavior hard to review
separately from UI changes.
**Expected behavior**
The answer and its delivery receipt must commit in one transaction. The
server must retry pending receipts after a restart. Existing direct
adapters must keep the current wake path. A native runtime may use the
optional steering seam, but this pull request does not enable native
steering in production.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create an `ask_user_questions` interaction.
2. Answer the interaction.
3. Stop the server before the continuation wake completes.
4. Start the server again.
5. On current master, no durable record tells the server to retry the
answer delivery.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Current `master` at `4d82f5eae`.
## What Changed
- Add the `issue_question_response_deliveries` table and migration.
- Store only routing state, a correlation ID, and a payload digest in
the delivery row. The answer remains in the existing interaction result.
- Commit an answered interaction and its pending delivery row in one
transaction.
- Add bounded claims, retry recovery, cumulative terminal state, and
content-free activity records.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter and external adapter on the
existing heartbeat wake path.
- Add an optional native steering seam. No production caller supplies
that seam in this pull request.
- Retain the provider-neutral `paperclip.question_set.v1` presentation
on recovered interactions.
- Run delivery immediately after an answer and sweep pending rows at
startup and on the existing server interval.
- Add focused database, service, route, startup, adapter-matrix, digest,
and duplicate-delivery tests.
## Compatibility Boundary
- This pull request does not change adapter selection.
- This pull request does not start runnerd.
- This pull request does not create native run records.
- Direct adapters never call the native steering seam.
- The existing interaction result stays authoritative for answer
content.
- The migration is additive and does not rewrite existing rows.
- This pull request has no UI, dependency, workflow, package-manager, or
lockfile changes.
- The diff has 19 files.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/question-response-delivery.test.ts
server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — 4 files
and 120 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed for all applicable workspaces. This
includes Cargo format and check, protocol drift checks, and migration
safety.
- `pnpm build` — passed. This includes the Rust release binary, server
build, and UI production build.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Secret patterns were not present in the changed text files.
- The repository token gates currently report violations from unchanged
files on `master`. This pull request does not change those files.
## Risks
The main risk is routing a direct-adapter answer into a native session.
The service checks the persisted runtime mode, and the adapter matrix
proves that all direct adapters use only the existing wake path. The new
table is additive. It has foreign keys, unique correlation constraints,
bounded attempts, and status checks. Activity records omit question and
answer content.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Issue type**
Outdated (no longer matches behavior).
**Where is the issue?**
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md` and
`packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/README.md`.
**What's wrong?**
The Daytona provider no longer uses the documented command wrapper,
package installation commands, or sudoers rule. The requirements
document also lacked a clear statement of the sandbox security boundary.
**Suggested fix**
State that the sandbox provides the boundary. Name outbound workspace
synchronization and the application programming interface bridge as the
paths that cross the boundary. State that a provider must not map a host
path into a sandbox synchronization path.
## What Changed
- Replace stale wrapper requirements with the actual sandbox security
boundary.
- State the controls that apply to outbound workspace synchronization
and the application programming interface bridge.
- State that this repository does not enforce the provider path-mapping
duty today.
- Remove obsolete Daytona package-install commands and the sudoers rule.
## Verification
- Confirm the difference contains the two documentation files and the
test file changed by the follow-up fix.
- Confirm that no unrelated source, configuration, or fixture file
appears in the difference.
- Run the repository continuous integration checks and confirm that
every required check passes.
- Run the repository review bot and confirm its final verdict.
## Risks
Low risk. This pull request changes two documents and closes a database
client in one integration test. It does not change product runtime
behavior or configuration.
## Model Used

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers transfer files between the host and an agent
sandbox
> - The Daytona file-mapping upload path sends staged tar files without
compression
> - Large raw uploads use more transfer bandwidth and storage
> - This pull request adds transparent zstd-3 compression for eligible
inbound file mappings
> - The benefit is lower transfer size without changes for callers or
post-upload commands
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
The change affects `packages/plugins`, in the Daytona sandbox provider.
**Problem or motivation**
The Daytona file-mapping upload path sends eligible staged tar files
without compression. This increases transfer size and storage use.
**Proposed solution**
Compress eligible files on the host with zstd level 3. Upload the
compressed bytes to a confined remote scratch path. Decompress them
during the existing promote command, then promote the raw file. Use the
raw upload path when compression cannot run or does not reduce size
enough.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the raw path for all uploads. This avoids compression work but does
not reduce transfer size. Add a new sandbox round trip for
decompression. This adds latency, so the change uses the existing
promote round trip.
**Roadmap alignment**
`ROADMAP.md` lists Daytona under cloud and sandbox agents. This focused
plugin change does not duplicate a planned core feature.
**Additional context**
The directory-mapping flow stays on the raw path. Callers and
post-upload commands keep the same behavior.
## What Changed
- Add transparent zstd-3 compression to `syncInFileMappings`.
- Upload compressed artifacts to confined remote scratch paths and
decompress them during promotion.
- Keep the raw upload fallback when zstd is absent, compression fails,
or the compressed result does not reduce size enough.
- Create the raw scratch file once with atomic exclusive no-clobber open
and write through the retained descriptor.
- Stage compressed host artifacts in private `0700` directories with
`0600` files.
- Remove temporary directories on success and failure.
- Add regression tests for compressed uploads, fallbacks, decompression
failures, and cleanup.
## Verification
- `pnpm --dir packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona test` passes
with 20 tests.
- The compressed success path produces a byte-identical remote file.
- A target without zstd uses the raw upload path.
- A decompression failure does not promote a partial raw file.
- Temporary files and directories do not remain after success or
failure.
- The newest cleanup regression test fails when the production cleanup
fix is reverted and passes with the fix.
## Risks
- Compression adds host CPU work for eligible file mappings.
- The raw path remains available when compression is unavailable or
ineffective.
- Decompression runs during the existing promote command and can fail
before promotion.
- The change does not alter the directory-mapping flow or caller
interface.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter utilities run process sessions in local and remote
environments.
> - The remote process-session wrapper uses a probe file to verify
directory creation time.
> - A peer could pre-create the probe path or replace it before cleanup.
> - This pull request uses exclusive create and file-descriptor identity
checks to protect the probe.
> - The benefit is safer cleanup and fail-closed behavior at the sandbox
boundary.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The remote process-session wrapper creates and removes a birth-time
probe file. The old path-based flow did not prove that the wrapper
created the path or that the path still named the same file.
**Current behavior**
A sandbox peer can race with the probe path. The peer can pre-create a
symbolic link or replace the probe before cleanup. The wrapper can then
inspect or remove an object that it did not create.
**Proposed behavior**
The wrapper creates the probe with exclusive create. It reads `(dev,
ino, ctimeMs)` from the open file descriptor. It removes the path only
when a final identity read matches the created file.
**Reason and benefit**
This change prevents symlink-following during creation and avoids
removal of a peer's replacement object. The wrapper still fails closed
when it cannot prove a real creation time.
**Breaking changes**
None. The wrapper keeps its existing fail-closed capture behavior.
## What Changed
- Create the birth-time probe with `fs.open(path, "wx")`.
- Read probe identity with `fstat` from the open descriptor.
- Remove the probe only after a matching final identity read.
- Add focused race tests for ordinary cleanup and file, directory, and
symbolic-link replacement.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Run the focused suite
`packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-stdin-race.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the focused suite passes all 33 tests.
## Risks
The change affects shared wrapper source for local and remote process
sessions. An identity read or cleanup failure leaves the probe in place
and stops capture. The focused tests cover the new race paths.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The model reviewed and
prepared this pull request from the supplied implementation and test
results.

## 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.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter utilities run remote process-session wrappers for sandbox
work.
> - A wrapper can outlive its host run when the host removes its session
directory during shutdown.

can poll forever.
> - This pull request adds an explicit shutdown acknowledgement and

> - The benefit is deterministic wrapper cleanup without killing an

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #11916
**What happened?**
Remote process-session wrappers could remain after a host run ended. The
host could remove the session directory before the wrapper read the
shutdown marker. The wrapper then treated directory errors as an empty
queue and continued to poll.
**Expected behavior**
The host must receive an explicit shutdown acknowledgement before it
treats the wrapper as stopped. The wrapper must stop when its session
identity becomes invalid or untrusted.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a remote process-session wrapper.
2. Stop the bridge while the wrapper polls its session directory.
3. Remove the session directory during the poll.
4. Observe that the wrapper must terminate with its child.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`7cfbd1ecbe4a40261ba51fed07f624524352ada2`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the adapter-utils test suite.
## What Changed
- Add a shutdown control file and wait for a bounded `shutdownAck`
before session cleanup.
- Require `shutdownAck` as proof of host-side shutdown.
- Capture and verify session and stdin directory identity before each
poll.
- Terminate and latch the wrapper on missing, changed, linked,
non-directory, or untrusted paths.
- Reject unusable creation times and treat all identity-check `lstat`
errors as terminal.
- Add focused regression coverage for shutdown races and identity
failures.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-stdin-race.test.ts` passes.
- The full execution-target set passes: 175 tests across three files.
- The `packages/adapter-utils` typecheck passes with `tsc --noEmit`.
- CI will run on this pull request.
- Greptile will review the pull request.
## Risks
- A platform with unreliable directory creation times can stop a wrapper
earlier than before. This fail-closed result prevents an orphan.
- A transient identity-check error now stops the wrapper. This favors
cleanup over continued polling when the session identity cannot be
trusted.
- Session cleanup remains unconditional after the bounded
acknowledgement wait.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use SSH environment fixtures to test process behavior
> - The SSH fixture detached its listener process from the test process
> - Teardown removed the fixture directory without stopping and awaiting
that listener
> - This pull request validates fixture state, stops the listener with
bounded escalation, and waits before directory removal
> - The benefit is deterministic test cleanup without orphan listeners
or unsafe signals
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The SSH environment fixture detached its listener process. Test teardown
removed the temporary fixture directory without stopping and awaiting
the listener. Repeated test runs left orphan listeners that held
loopback ports.
**Expected behavior**
The fixture teardown stops its listener, waits for exit, and then
removes the fixture directory. A forged state file must not signal an
unrelated process.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the SSH fixture test repeatedly.
2. Inspect listener processes after each run.
3. Observe orphan listeners or ports that remain held.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit 324e1331f8.
**Deployment mode**
Not deployment-related.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Custom / external plugin adapter.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Access context**
Unclear / not applicable.
**Node.js version**
Node.js 24.
**Operating system**
Linux.
**Relevant logs or output**
A diagnostic found orphan listeners with parent process ID 1. Each
orphan held a loopback port.
**Relevant config (if applicable)**
Not applicable.
**Additional context**
The change keeps the process identifier reuse check and limits signals
to fixture-owned processes.
## What Changed
- Add one teardown owner for each SSH fixture.
- Stop the detached listener and wait for exit before removing the
fixture root.
- Add bounded SIGTERM and SIGKILL escalation with ESRCH guards.
- Validate the state file before any signal call.
- Require a positive safe-integer PID and safe absolute paths rooted at
the fixture directory.
- Require sshdConfigPath to equal the fixture root sshd_config path.
- Add regression coverage for listener cleanup and forged state files.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts`
- Confirm the fixture listener count stays at zero before and after the
test run.
## Risks
The teardown now sends signals to a fixture-owned process. State
validation and the existing PID reuse check limit the target. The
escalation has bounded waits.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server and the browser need clear error reports when an operator
enables external monitoring.
> - Paperclip already uses an opt-in OpenTelemetry pattern for server
traces.
> - Sentry can provide error reports for both runtime paths when the
operator sets one data source name.
> - This pull request adds one opt-in Sentry gate for the server and the
browser.
> - The benefit is faster diagnosis while the default setup sends no
Sentry data.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What is improved?**
Paperclip gains optional error monitoring for server and browser
failures.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (server, UI, and shared authentication data).
**Current behavior**
Paperclip has no built-in Sentry error capture for server failures or
browser boundary failures. Operators must inspect local logs and browser
tools.
**Proposed behavior**
When the operator sets `SENTRY_DSN`, the server and authenticated
browser use the same Sentry project. When the variable is absent, both
paths stay inactive. The server loads Sentry dynamically and fails open
when the optional package is absent.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators can inspect runtime errors in one Sentry project. The default
setup remains local and sends no monitoring data.
**Breaking changes**
None when `SENTRY_DSN` remains unset. Authenticated session responses
add the optional `sentryDsn` field.
**Additional context**
The implementation uses built-in Sentry privacy options. It disables
default HTTP context and breadcrumb integrations and keeps
`sendDefaultPii` false.
## What Changed
- Add an opt-in server Sentry gate with dynamic package loading and
fail-open behavior.
- Add the Sentry data source name to the authenticated session response.
- Add an authenticated browser Sentry gate and React error boundary
capture.
- Add tests for server, browser, route, and application error paths.
- Document activation, installation, privacy settings, capture behavior,
and operator controls.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/sentry.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/sentry.test.ts`.
- Run `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/auth-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/shutdown.test.ts`.
- Confirm that the full continuous integration suite passes on this pull
request.
- Leave `SENTRY_DSN` unset and confirm that the server and browser gates
stay inactive.
- Set `SENTRY_DSN` and install the optional Sentry packages before a
manual capture check.
## Risks
The operator controls the Sentry project and accepts the data risk when
the operator enables the feature. Error objects can contain messages,
stacks, or cause chains with private values. The default configuration
sends no data because the feature stays off without `SENTRY_DSN`. A
missing optional server package does not stop server boot.

operations, and code review support.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - #12227 vendored a pnpm patch of the `postgres` driver to stop a
teardown race (`nextWrite` firing after the socket is nulled) from
crashing the process and failing green CI shards
> - Maintainer call: carrying a vendored driver patch is not worth it
for a CI flake — the patch adds a maintenance obligation on every future
driver upgrade
> - The race is an upstream bug in `postgres@3.4.9`; the plan is to wait
for an upstream release that fixes it and bump the dependency instead
> - This pull request reverts #12227 in full: the patch file, its
`package.json` registration, and the regression test that exercised the
patched behavior
> - The benefit is an unmodified dependency graph; the known flake
signature returns and is retried when it bites
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Reverts #12227.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Dependency hygiene: `postgres@3.4.9` is consumed unmodified again, with
no `pnpm.patchedDependencies` entry to re-evaluate on every driver
upgrade.
**Current behavior**
The repo carries `patches/postgres@3.4.9.patch` (null-socket guard in
the driver's deferred write flush, plus an `execute()` refusal on
socketless connections) and a regression test for it.
**Proposed behavior**
Plain upstream `postgres@3.4.9`. The teardown race stays an upstream
bug: a green test shard can occasionally fail with `Vitest caught 1
unhandled error` and `TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading
'write')` at `Immediate.nextWrite`; the remedy is retrying the shard
until an upstream driver release fixes the race and we bump.
**Reason and benefit**
A vendored driver patch is a standing maintenance cost that outweighs
the flake it suppressed.
## What Changed
- Reverts #12227 (`6c7c0fd1f`) in full: removes
`patches/postgres@3.4.9.patch`, its `pnpm.patchedDependencies`
registration in root `package.json`, and
`packages/db/src/postgres-driver-teardown.test.ts`. No lockfile
involvement — the merged commit never touched `pnpm-lock.yaml` and the
refresh bot had not yet recorded the patch.
## Verification
- `pnpm install` on the reverted tree is coherent; the full
`packages/db` suite passes (26 files / 100 tests).
- `git revert` applied cleanly with no conflicts.
## Risks
- Low. This restores the exact pre-#12227 state. The known flake
signature returns; it fails jobs whose tests all passed and is cleared
by retrying the shard.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server and its test suites talk to PostgreSQL through the
`postgres` (postgres.js) driver, and tests routinely tear their
databases down while connections still carry traffic
> - The driver flushes small buffered frames from a `setImmediate`, and
that deferred flush calls `socket.write()` without checking that the
socket still exists; a reserved connection whose backend died keeps
accepting queries, so the flush can fire with a null socket
> - The resulting `TypeError` escapes from a timer callback with no
try/catch above it, crashing the process — in CI this fails suites whose
tests all passed ("Vitest caught 1 unhandled error"), and the same crash
is reported against the driver in the wild after ECONNRESET
> - The latest driver release (3.4.9) still has the bug, so this pull
request adds a pnpm patch guarding the flush and normalizing timer state
on close, plus a deterministic regression test
> - The benefit is CI that no longer fails randomly on a teardown race,
and production processes that survive a database connection dying at the
wrong moment
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; the underlying problem follows the bug-report
template.
**What happened?**
CI jobs fail with all tests passing: vitest reports `Vitest caught 1
unhandled error during the test run` with `TypeError: Cannot read
properties of null (reading 'write')` at `postgres/src/connection.js`
`Immediate.nextWrite`. The attribution points at whichever test file
happened to be running (e.g. `native-codex-runner.integration.test.ts`),
because the throw comes from a process-level timer callback, not from a
test. The identical crash is reported against the upstream driver by
other projects after `ECONNRESET` (e.g. immich-app/immich#25098).
**Expected behavior**
A connection dying between a write being scheduled and its deferred
flush must settle the affected queries through the driver's normal
connection-error path, never throw from a bare timer callback.
**Steps to reproduce**
Run the new `packages/db/src/postgres-driver-teardown.test.ts` with the
patch removed: reserve a connection (`sql.reserve()` — the same surface
`sql.begin()` uses), destroy the backend socket, wait for the client to
process the close, then issue one query on the reserved connection. The
deferred flush fires one tick later with `socket === null` and crashes
the process with exactly the CI signature.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master `198fc8b28`, `postgres@3.4.9` (latest release; bug still present
on the driver's master branch).
## What Changed
- `patches/postgres@3.4.9.patch` (new, wired via
`pnpm.patchedDependencies`): `nextWrite` returns without writing when
`socket === null`, dropping the buffered bytes — the close path has
already settled every in-flight query, so those bytes have nowhere to
go. The `closed()` and `terminate()` handlers additionally reset
`nextWriteTimer`/`chunk` after `clearImmediate`, so a stale cleared
handle cannot silently block a future reconnect's first flush. All three
shipped builds (`src`, `cjs`, `cf`) get the identical change.
- `packages/db/src/postgres-driver-teardown.test.ts` (new):
deterministic reproduction against a minimal in-process fake wire server
(startup auth + an empty result for the `fetch_types` bootstrap).
Asserts the late query settles with `CONNECTION_DESTROYED` through
`sql.end()` instead of crashing the process.
## Verification
- The regression test fails against unpatched `postgres@3.4.9` with the
exact CI signature (verified by running the same scenario against an
unpatched checkout) and passes with the patch.
- Full `packages/db` suite: 27 files / 101 tests pass.
- Spot-checked server suites that exercise the database through the
patched driver.
## Risks
- Low. The behavioral change activates only in a state that previously
crashed the process (write flush with no socket). Dropping the buffered
bytes matches what the connection's close path already promised callers:
every in-flight query has been settled with a connection error.
- The timer/chunk reset in `closed()`/`terminate()` prevents a
theoretical stale-handle hang after reconnect; on the normal path both
were already reset by `nextWrite`.
- The patch pins to `postgres@3.4.9`; a future driver upgrade will
surface the patch for re-evaluation (pnpm fails loudly on version
mismatch), and the guard can be dropped if the fix lands upstream.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The referenced-project ignore scan trimmed NUL-delimited Git paths. It
also accepted a large ignored-path set and exposed raw failure details
through staging errors and warnings.
**Expected behavior**
The scan must preserve leading and trailing whitespace in Git paths. It
must reject oversized ignored-path data and expose only fixed failure
categories.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the referenced-project ignore scan with paths that start or end
with whitespace.
2. Provide more than 10,000 ignored entries or more than 2 MiB of path
bytes.
3. Trigger a scan failure and inspect the reported reason.
**Paperclip version or commit**
d560bc2ae2
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
**Installation method**
Built from source.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
**Additional context**
This change covers the overlay diff, untracked, deleted, and ignored Git
paths. It also retries only typed scheduler saturation failures.
## What Changed
- Preserve all bytes in NUL-delimited Git path records.
- Bound ignored-entry count and total UTF-8 path bytes during parsing.
- Redact scan failure details to three fixed reason categories.
- Retry only the typed scheduler saturation error, with three total
attempts and 1 second then 2 second waits.
- Add tests for path whitespace, limits, diagnostics, retry behavior,
and scheduler code parity.
## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils` passed.
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils` passed with 977 tests and 4
skipped.
- Continuous integration must run the server suite and the full
repository gates.
## Risks
The scan now rejects ignored-path data above fixed limits. Saturation
retries add up to 3 seconds before a final failure. The resolver still
fails closed for all other errors.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5. The model used tool calls, code inspection, and command
execution. The exact context window and reasoning mode are not exposed
by the runtime.

## Thinking Path

work.

the control-plane workflow.

selection depend only on stored preferences.

agents or non-CEO agents.

skill discovery. These changes did not mount the operational skill for
all legacy agents.
> - This pull request makes the operational skill a legacy adapter
runtime invariant. It keeps all other skills configurable.

operate through Paperclip.
## 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.

window were not exposed. The agent used reasoning, tool use, and code
execution.

## 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.
> - This pull request adds one shared workspace-restore teardown factory
and keeps each adapter's message strings.
> - The benefit is one tested restore-failure path with the same output
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/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-teardown.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts`
- `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
> - The app can run self-hosted or as a cloud-managed instance, where a
hosting platform provisions the instance with its company already
materialized (the existing `isCloudManagedInstance()` predicate and
`cloud_managed` floors)
> - The company Import/Export surface lets an operator materialize whole
companies from an export bundle; on a cloud-managed instance this
bypasses the existing `cloud_managed` company-creation floor and
conflicts with platform-owned provisioning
> - Importing should be disabled on cloud-managed instances, while
export stays open as the data-portability escape hatch
> - This pull request floors every import route with 403
`code=cloud_managed` on cloud-managed instances and hides the Import UI
there, using the existing predicate and the established floor pattern
> - It also extends the operator-hidden settings registry with keys for
every top-level company settings page, so a hosting operator can hide
any of them with `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` alone next time
> - The benefit is one consistent managed-instance policy: cloud-managed
instances cannot import companies, self-hosted installs keep the full
import surface unchanged
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; the underlying problem follows the enhancement
template.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The company import surface (`/api/companies/import*`,
`/api/companies/:companyId/imports/*`) and its UI entry points on
cloud-managed instances.
**Subsystem affected**
Server routes (`server/src/routes/companies.ts`) and UI navigation/pages
(settings sidebar, settings tabs, org chart, `/company/import` route).
**Current behavior**
A cloud-managed instance floors direct company creation (`POST
/api/companies` answers 403 `cloud_managed`), but the import routes
still accept company bundles, so an import can materialize companies the
hosting platform did not provision. The UI offers Import entry points
that lead to a surface that is not available on cloud-managed instances.
**Proposed behavior**
On instances where `isCloudManagedInstance()` is true, every import
route answers 403 `code=cloud_managed` before auth and body work, and
the Import UI (sidebar entry, settings tab, org-chart button,
`/company/import` route) is hidden or redirected. Export remains fully
available. Self-hosted instances are unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
Cloud-managed instances keep one consistent provisioning authority, and
users do not see an Import surface that dead-ends in a 403.
## What Changed
- `server/src/routes/companies.ts`: a router-level floor mounted at the
`/import` and `/:companyId/imports` prefixes. It covers the single-shot
upload, preview, job polling, chunked transfer
declare/part-upload/status/preview/apply, and the agent-safe per-company
import routes. It throws `forbidden(..., { code: "cloud_managed" })` on
cloud-managed instances, or `403 settings_operator_managed` when the
operator hides `company.import` — both before auth and body validation,
mirroring the company-creation floor.
- `packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.ts`: new
`HIDEABLE_COMPANY_PAGES` registry group — `company.members`,
`company.invites`, `company.secrets`, `company.export`, `company.import`
— with a `hidesCompanyPage` helper. The company General page stays
non-hideable (settings root). `company.import` floors its API; the other
keys are UI-visibility only, as documented in the registry, so
membership/invite/secret/export APIs stay live for agents.
- `ui/src/components/CloudManagedPageGate.tsx` (new): route gate that
redirects cloud-managed instances to `/company/settings`, modeled on
`HiddenSettingsPageGate`.
- `ui/src/App.tsx`: wraps the `company/import` route in
`CloudManagedPageGate`.
- `ui/src/components/CompanySettingsSidebar.tsx`,
`ui/src/components/access/CompanySettingsNav.tsx`,
`ui/src/pages/OrgChart.tsx`: hide the Import entry points when
`useCloudInstance()` reports a managed instance, and honor the new
`company.*` hidden-settings keys for every company page entry (sidebar
item, tab, org-chart buttons).
- `ui/src/App.tsx`: `HiddenSettingsPageGate` route gates for the members
(incl. the legacy access route), invites, secrets, export, and import
pages under their `company.*` keys.
- `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`: documents the new keys and
their semantics; the CLI and board-operator guides note that import is
unavailable on cloud-managed instances.
- Tests: new `server/src/__tests__/company-import-cloud-floor.test.ts`
and `ui/src/components/CloudManagedPageGate.test.tsx`, registry cases in
`packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts`, plus cloud and
hidden-key cases in the sidebar, settings-nav, and org-chart suites.
## Verification
- TypeScript typechecks pass for every workspace package (`tsc` in
shared, server, ui; the runner's Rust leg needs a local cargo toolchain
and is covered by CI).
- `pnpm test` on this branch fails only in 9 files that also fail on a
clean `origin/master` checkout on the same machine
(environment-dependent suites: live-listener probes,
workspace/native-runtime spawns, skill materialization). Zero
branch-only failures against that baseline; every suite touched by this
change passes.
- `server/src/__tests__/company-import-cloud-floor.test.ts` asserts:
every import route answers 403 `cloud_managed` under the server-token
signal; the managed-config signal alone also floors; every import route
answers 403 `settings_operator_managed` when `company.import` is hidden;
hiding other company pages leaves import open; the floor applies before
auth and body validation; export stays open on cloud-managed instances;
self-hosted import preview and job polling still work.
- `packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts` covers the new
`company.*` keys and `hidesCompanyPage`.
- UI suites assert the Import tab, sidebar entry, and org-chart button
disappear on a cloud-managed instance while Export stays, that
`/company/import` redirects through the gate, and that the `company.*`
keys hide their sidebar entries and tabs.
## Risks
- Low risk for self-hosted installs: the floor is inert unless a cloud
signal (`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_TENANT_SERVER_TOKEN` or
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`) is present, and the self-hosted paths are
regression-tested.
- On cloud-managed instances this is a deliberate behavioral removal:
import (including agent-driven safe imports and resumable transfers)
stops working the moment an instance runs this build. In-flight chunked
transfers on such instances cannot be applied afterward; they answer
403.
- CLI import commands against a cloud-managed instance now fail with the
`cloud_managed` error; the message names the reason.
- The new `company.*` keys change nothing unless an operator sets them:
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` unset keeps behavior identical, and older
images ignore unknown keys by design. The four non-import company keys
hide UI only; their APIs stay live, which the registry documents
explicitly.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Referenced projects are staged into run sandboxes, and a recent
change made each staging site resolve the project's Git-ignored paths
explicitly (`ignoreResolution` on `SandboxAdditionalSource`)
> - One test call site was left without the now-required property, so
`tsc` fails in adapter-utils and every Build/Typecheck CI job on master
is red (surfaced when the TypeScript 7 bump landed in the same window)
> - Separately, the new descendant check compares a logical caller path
against the physical toplevel git prints, so any symlinked path fails
ignore resolution spuriously — three of the suite's own tests fail on
macOS because temp dirs live under the `/var` → `/private/var` symlink
> - This pull request supplies the missing property at the test call
site and makes the descendant comparison symlink-safe via realpath on
both sides
> - The benefit is a green master again, plus referenced-project staging
that works from symlinked checkouts and temp directories
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists; the underlying problem follows the bug-report
template.
**What happened?**
`packages/adapter-utils` fails `tsc` on master:
`src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts(2284,29): error TS2741: Property
'ignoreResolution' is missing in type '{ localPath: string; projectId:
string; }' but required in type 'SandboxAdditionalSource'.` Every
Build/Typecheck CI job is red. Independently,
`resolveReferencedSourceIgnore` returns `{ kind: "failed", reason:
"referenced project path is not a descendant of its own Git top level:
/var/... under /private/var/..." }` for any symlinked project path, and
three tests in the suite fail on macOS.
**Expected behavior**
Master typechecks. A referenced project whose path reaches git through a
symlink (macOS temp dirs, symlinked checkouts) resolves its ignore set
normally, and the descendant check still fails closed for genuinely
foreign paths.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` on
master — TS2741 at `sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts:2284`.
2. On macOS: `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — three
`resolveReferencedSourceIgnore` tests fail with the "not a descendant"
reason above.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master `29d12045f`.
## What Changed
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts:2284`: the one call site missing
`ignoreResolution` now passes `{ kind: "other" }`, matching every
sibling call site from the same change.
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.ts`: `resolveReferencedSourceIgnore` resolves
both the git toplevel and the caller's `localPath` through a new
`physicalPath` helper (realpath with a resolve fallback) before the
descendant comparison. Git prints physical toplevels, so both sides must
be physical; the fallback keeps the check failing closed when a path
vanishes mid-run.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — 61/61 pass
on macOS (previously 58 passing, 3 failing, plus the typecheck break).
- `tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils` is clean.
## Risks
- Low. The behavioral change is confined to path normalization before an
existing comparison; a realpath failure falls back to the prior string
comparison, so the fail-closed property is preserved.
## Model Used

coding session with tool use (code search, editing, local test
execution).

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The sandbox callback gateway HTTP/2 send path copies the full request
body through a UTF-8 string before it sends the body.
**Subsystem affected**
The affected subsystem is `packages/adapter-utils`, which contains
sandbox gateway and HTTP/2 adapter utilities.
**Current behavior**
The gateway reads the body into a buffer, converts the complete body to
a UTF-8 string, and converts that string back to a buffer for the HTTP/2
path. The queue path stores the string payload.
**Proposed behavior**
The gateway keeps a byte reader for the HTTP/2 path. A thin text wrapper
keeps the queue path behavior. The HTTP/2 path sends the original body
buffer.
**Reason and benefit**
The extra conversions add work and memory use without changing the
HTTP/2 body bytes. Direct buffer forwarding removes that work and
preserves the size limit and reject behavior.
**Breaking changes**
None. The queue payload remains a string. The body size limit, content
type check, and reject point remain unchanged.
**Additional context**
This change has no public issue link. The repository roadmap search
found no duplicate planned work. The implementation also adds tests for
non-ASCII JSON, malformed UTF-8, size limits, and queue payload shape.
## What Changed
- Add `readBodyBytes(req)` for byte-preserving body reads.
- Keep `readBody(req)` as a string wrapper for the queue path.
- Send the byte buffer directly on the HTTP/2 path.
- Add tests for byte identity, malformed UTF-8, size limits, and queue
payload shape.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/adapter-utils test
src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts` passed with 51 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` passed.
- The tests spawn the generated gateway and the real host HTTP/2 bridge.
- The tests verify byte identity, malformed UTF-8, pre-forward size
rejection, queue file protection, and string queue payloads.
- Full repository CI must pass before merge.
## Risks
Low risk. The HTTP/2 path changes its internal body conversion only. The
queue path keeps the prior string payload. The size limit and reject
point stay unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review assistance. The exact
runtime context window is managed by the Codex service.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter utilities package provides transport code for sandbox
agents
> - The retired `duplex_v1` broker no longer produces or consumes
body-chunk frames
> - Dead protocol code remains in the host codec, gateway copy, bridge
options, and tests
> - This pull request removes that dead code and keeps the READY
handshake unchanged
> - The benefit is a smaller transport surface with fewer unused paths
to maintain
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This change improves the adapter utilities code that supports sandbox
duplex readiness and frame handling.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapter-utils/` — sandbox transport codecs, execution targets,
and callback bridge tests.
**Current behavior**
The repository keeps body-chunk frame types, validators, a body spool,
decoder limits, and tests after the `duplex_v1` broker removal. No live
producer or consumer uses this code.
**Proposed behavior**
Remove the unused body-chunk protocol code and retain the READY
handshake, its strict checks, and its size limits.
**Reason and benefit**
The removal reduces dead code and keeps the host and embedded gateway
paths easier to inspect. It adds no new behavior.
**Breaking changes**
The removed frame types now decode as `unknown_type`. The live readiness
gate already ignores those frames. The READY handshake stays
byte-for-byte compatible.
**Additional context**
This cleanup follows [PR
#12171](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12171), which
removed the duplex broker.
## What Changed
- Remove `duplex-body-spool.ts` and its test.
- Remove unused body-chunk frame types, validators, decoder code,
vectors, and limits.
- Remove the unused `reassembledBody` option and decoder limit
environment entry.
- Remove the embedded gateway decoder copy and the unused frame type
map.
- Keep the READY handshake and its existing boundary tests unchanged in
behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm -F @paperclip/adapter-utils typecheck` passes.
- The duplex frame codec test passes with 30 tests.
- The sandbox execution-target test passes with 136 tests.
- The sandbox callback bridge test passes with 46 tests.
- CI must confirm all required checks after it starts.
## Risks
Low risk. The change removes code only. The READY handshake, HTTP/2 body
path, and byte-ledger path remain unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution.

## 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
> - Agent adapters move files between the host and sandbox during a run
> - The sync transport reports transferred bytes, but some progress
lines discard this value
> - Discarded byte totals make large transfers display as `0.0 MB`
> - This pull request passes the transport total to the affected
progress lines
> - The benefit is accurate transfer progress without changing file
movement or confinement checks
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Three file-sync progress lines displayed `0.0 MB` when the transport
moved data. The affected paths cover referenced-project staging, native
git-history export, and native workspace restore.
**Expected behavior**
Each progress line should display the bytes that the sync transport
transfers. A provider that reports zero bytes should preserve the known
host-side value for inbound workspace sync.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run a sandbox task that stages a referenced project.
2. Run a task that uses native git-history export or native workspace
restore.
3. Inspect the file-sync progress lines during each transfer.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `8062612baa20036a1defce8bbd683c038ba187d5`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the adapter-utils Vitest suite.
## What Changed
- Add a helper that sums valid `bytesTransferred` values from a
`SandboxSyncResult`.
- Use the transport total for referenced-project staging, native
git-history export, and native workspace restore.
- Preserve the caller count when referenced-project staging reports zero
bytes.
- Add tests for non-zero progress and the zero-byte fallback.
## Verification
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` from the
repository root.
- Run the TypeScript check for `packages/adapter-utils`.
- Confirm that the new tests cover referenced-project staging, native
workspace restore, native git-history export, and the zero-byte
fallback.
## Risks
This change affects progress reporting only. It does not change
transferred files, transfer order, provider behavior, or confinement
checks.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The model
reviewed and routed the 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.
> - Sandbox adapters stage project files before an agent starts.
> - Referenced projects ignored Git-ignored paths and copied large local
directories.
> - This behavior increased staging time and disk use, and it differed
from anchor workspaces.
> - This pull request resolves Git-ignored paths once and shares that
result across all referenced-project consumers.
> - The benefit is smaller, faster, and consistent project staging.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug.
**What happened?**
Referenced-project staging copied Git-ignored paths, except for a fixed
list of heavy directory names. A large repository therefore used much
more time and disk space than the same repository in an anchor
workspace.
**Expected behavior**
Referenced-project staging should exclude the same Git-ignored paths
that the workspace staging path excludes.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a referenced project with a large Git-ignored directory.
2. Start a sandbox or SSH run that stages the referenced project.
3. Observe that the ignored directory enters the staged content.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Commit `9964b034bbff24e700c8eccf5a8b1fc3daa44bf2`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
## What Changed
- Resolve each referenced project's Git-ignored paths once before
staging.
- Carry the resolved paths as a required field on
`SandboxAdditionalSource`.
- Reuse the resolved paths in sandbox staging, SSH staging, and
content-signature code.
- Harden the read-only Git helper with a bounded process, a reduced
environment, and disabled system and global configuration.
- Fail closed on Git errors, timeouts, and invalid path relations.
- Escape tar glob metacharacters in ignore-derived exclude entries.
- Add and update unit tests for the resolver and its three consumers.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run --config packages/adapter-utils/vitest.config.ts`
passes 266 tests locally.
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils/tsconfig.json`
passes locally.
- CI must pass on this pull request.
- Greptile must report 5/5 with no unresolved comments before merge.
## Risks
- A Git error or timeout now prevents staging for the affected
referenced project.
- The resolver uses a bounded read-only Git process and fails closed by
design.
- The change stays inside `packages/adapter-utils` and does not change
the database schema.

Claude Sonnet 5 (Anthropic) assisted the implementation with code
execution and tool use. The exact context window and reasoning mode are
not recorded.

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

persistence, and hidden server boundaries.
> - The server still cannot select that path for a real agent heartbeat.
> - A new runtime must not change any existing direct adapter.
> - An experimental runtime must fail closed when its rollout flag is
off.
> - This pull request adds one guarded Codex vertical slice through

start by default.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
Refs #12111
Refs #12169
Refs #12176
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package, server
orchestration, shared settings, and adapter configuration UI.
**Problem or motivation**
The hidden PRP coordinator cannot execute a real heartbeat. The
application also needs an explicit rollout boundary before it can expose
the experimental runner. Existing direct adapters must keep their
current execution and finalization behavior.
**Proposed solution**
Add `paperclip_runner` as a Codex-only adapter behind the default-off
`enableNativeRunner` instance flag. Select the native runtime only for
that adapter. Persist the run binding before runnerd starts. Wait for
the durable PRP result and terminal event. Resume the real Codex
provider thread on later heartbeats. Keep persisted native runs readable
and recoverable after the flag changes.
**Alternatives considered**
The server could route `codex_local` through runnerd. That option would
change an existing adapter and weaken rollback safety. The server could
expose all providers now. That option would add unreviewed provider
behavior. The build could depend on a prebuilt runner binary. That
option would make source builds architecture-dependent and difficult to
verify.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface. It
is the guarded execution step after the merged hidden runner boundaries.
**Additional context**
This is the next replacement for the closed large runner pull request.
Task-thread presentation remains a separate follow-up so this change can
preserve the current direct-adapter UI.
## What Changed
- Add `paperclip_runner` as an explicit Codex-only adapter.
- Add the default-off `enableNativeRunner` instance flag.
- Reject fresh create, hire, import, switch, and execution requests
while the flag is off.
- Allow edits to persisted runner agents while the flag is off.
- Recover an already persisted native run even after the flag is
disabled.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter on its existing runtime path.
- Persist an immutable native run binding and revisioned completion
contract before runnerd starts.
- Execute server to PRP to runnerd to Codex to server through the hidden
coordinator.
- Validate the durable result against the terminal event and exact
completion criteria before finalization.
- Preserve the Codex provider thread ID and use `thread/resume` on the
next heartbeat.
- Strip unsupported Codex configuration fields from the experimental
adapter.
- Build a target-native release runner binary from source and vendor it
into the server distribution.
- Install Rust only in the Docker build stage. Do not add a workflow or
lockfile change.
- Stop the runner process group on completion, cancellation, and forced
shutdown.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All 69
TypeScript tests and 58 Rust tests pass. Protocol, conformance, replay,
formatting, and generated-file checks pass.
- Run the 12 focused adapter, settings, runtime-selection, coordinator,
direct-isolation, and real Codex integration test files. All 186 tests
pass.
- The real integration test uses PostgreSQL, HTTP, WebSocket, runnerd,
and a fake Codex app server. It proves one `thread/start` followed by
one `thread/resume`.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Build the Docker `build` target from a clean context. Confirm that the
server distribution contains an executable `paperclip-runnerd` built
with Debian Rust 1.85.
- Start the server through the source-mode tsx entry point with the
package `dist` directory absent. Confirm the vendor shim resolves source
exports and the server boots.
- Run `pnpm test:run` twice. On this macOS host, 405 files pass and 1
file skips. Eight untouched workspace and loopback tests fail because
macOS resolves `/tmp` and `/var` through `/private` and because
PID-derived test ports exceed 65535. Linux CI must pass the full suite.
- Confirm that the diff contains 52 files. Confirm that it contains no
`.github` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.
## Risks
- The feature flag is off by default. A fresh native start fails with a
stable error while the flag is off.
- A persisted native run remains recoverable after the flag changes.
This prevents rollout changes from corrupting recorded work.
- Only local Codex execution is accepted. Other providers and remote
work modes fail closed.
- Existing direct adapters do not start runnerd, create native rows, use
native status arbitration, or enter native finalization.
- The runner receives its one-use bootstrap ticket through the child
environment. The server does not put the ticket in command arguments or
logs.
- The server validates the company, task, agent, run, runner, session,
completion contract, result, and terminal binding before it accepts
completion.
- The build compiles a target-native Rust binary. Cross-platform release
packaging remains a later concern. Source builds and Docker builds
compile for their current target.
- Docker needs enough build memory for the existing server TypeScript
compile. The Docker build stage sets a 4 GB V8 heap limit.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The exact deployment ID and context-window
size are not exposed. The model used agentic reasoning, repository
tools, code execution, and test execution.

## 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

byte-identical zip that already finished an apply is rejected

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The `alreadyCompleted` rejection when re-declaring a chunked
company-import transfer.
**Subsystem affected**
Shared transfer contract
(`packages/shared/src/company-import-transfer.ts`), transfer declaration
route (`server/src/routes/companies.ts`), web import page, CLI import
command.
**Current behavior**
`POST /api/companies/import/transfers` returns `alreadyCompleted: true`
with no pointer to the earlier import. Web and CLI raise "This exact
package was already imported by a completed transfer. Re-export the
package to import it again."
**Proposed behavior**
The response includes an optional `company` field (`{id, name,
issuePrefix} | null`) resolved from the completed run's company link.
Web and CLI raise a shared message: `… It created the company
"Paperclip" (PAPA) — open it from the company switcher. Re-export the
package to import it again.` A company that was deleted since (or a link
that was never written) degrades to `null` and the original message.
**Breaking changes**
None. The new response field is optional; old clients ignore it.
## What Changed
- `CompanyImportTransferCreated` gains optional `company`, plus a shared
`buildAlreadyImportedMessage` used by both clients.
- The declaration route's `alreadyCompleted` branch resolves the landed
company null-safely via `companyService.getById`.
- Web (`ui/src/pages/CompanyImport.tsx`) and CLI
(`cli/src/commands/client/company.ts`) raise the shared message.
## Verification
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run
src/company-import-transfer.test.ts` — 3 tests (named company, id
fallback, no-company original message).
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-import-transfer-routes.test.ts` — 24 tests; the
re-declaration test now asserts the company payload and the
deleted-company null path.
- `cd cli && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-import-transfer.test.ts` — 17 tests; new test pins
the named-company message.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/pages/CompanyImport.test.tsx` — 23 tests.
- `pnpm run typecheck` clean in shared, server, ui, cli.
## Risks
- Low risk. The lookup runs only on the `alreadyCompleted` branch and is
null-safe; the transfer run is already scoped to the requesting actor
(user + instance context in the actor key), so the response never names
a company the caller did not import.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company import parks every imported agent as a safety default, and
issue assignment wakes are dropped for paused agents
> - The pause was recorded as the generic reason "system" and was almost
invisible: the chat-style task thread showed nothing, the legacy notice
had no action, and the new-task dialog gave no hint
> - Users assigned tasks in an imported company, nothing ran, and there
was no explanation — the imported company looked broken
> - This pull request records a dedicated "import" pause reason and
makes the paused state visible and fixable where the user is looking
> - The benefit is that a silent no-op becomes an explained state with a
one-click resume
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Working with a company whose agents arrived paused from a company
import.
**Subsystem affected**
Shared constants (`PAUSE_REASONS`), company import service
(`server/src/services/company-portability.ts`), task thread and new-task
dialog UI.
**Current behavior**
Imported agents get `pauseReason: "system"`, the same value
plugin-managed and built-in agent pauses use. Assigning an issue to a
paused agent silently drops the wake. The chat-style task thread renders
no paused notice; the legacy thread's notice says "It was paused by the
system." with no action and only renders when the composer is shown.
**Proposed behavior**
Import writes `pauseReason: "import"`. The paused-assignee notice
explains the import pause, offers an inline "Resume agent" button
(suppressed for budget pauses, which clear on their own), and renders
for read-only viewers. The chat-style task thread shows the same notice
above the composer. The new-task dialog warns when the selected assignee
is paused.
**Breaking changes**
None. `PAUSE_REASONS` is widened, not changed; the column already stores
free-text values in other paths, and every consumer is an equality check
with a manual fallback, so an older client shows the generic fallback
copy for the new value.
## What Changed
- `packages/shared/src/constants.ts`: `"import"` added to
`PAUSE_REASONS`.
- `server/src/services/company-portability.ts`: the import pause patch
writes `pauseReason: "import"`.
- `ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`: `IssueAssigneePausedNotice`
gains import copy, a Resume button, test ids, and is exported; it now
renders even when the composer is hidden. New `onResumeAssignee` /
`resumeAssigneePending` props.
- `ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.tsx`: renders the paused-assignee
notice above the composer dock (the chat-style thread previously had no
paused surface at all).
- `ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.tsx`: wires a resume mutation
(`agentsApi.resume`) through both thread variants and invalidates the
company agent list.
- `ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.tsx`: inline note when the chosen
assignee is paused, with import-specific copy.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — 82 tests pass (pause pin
updated to `"import"`).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx` — 120 tests pass (new: notice
copy per reason, resume click, budget suppression, active-agent null
render, dialog note).
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `packages/shared`, `server`, and `ui` — clean.
## Risks
- Low risk. The resume action calls the existing `POST
/agents/:id/resume` route with its existing guards. Existing rows keep
`"system"` and fall back to the current generic copy; only new imports
write `"import"`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner needs a narrow server trust boundary before an
adapter can start it.
> - The package has durable runner transport, but the server does not
host or authorize that transport.
> - Native persistence exists, but no writer connects PRP events to
those records.
> - A direct adapter must not enter this path by accident.
> - This pull request adds a hidden, run-bound PRP server coordinator.
> - The benefit is a recoverable server boundary that remains
unavailable to normal execution.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
Refs #12129
Refs #12169
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package and server
orchestration.
**Problem or motivation**
The server cannot authenticate runnerd, commit PRP events before ACK,
authorize semantic tools, or enter native finalization from a durable
runner result. The application must have this hidden boundary before a
guarded adapter can use the runner.
**Proposed solution**
Add an authenticated PRP WebSocket authority and register it only for
one exact persisted native Codex run. Bind each connection and event to
the company, issue, agent, run, runner, session, turn, item, and
verified runner identity. Commit each event before its cumulative ACK.
Project only authorized same-task read tools. Rebuild the accepted
result and finalization record from durable result and terminal events.
**Alternatives considered**
The server could expose a broad runner API key or route semantic calls
through existing adapter endpoints. Those options grant too much
authority and weaken replay recovery. The server could also add the
user-facing adapter in this pull request. That option would mix rollout
selection with the transport trust boundary and make legacy
compatibility harder to review.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface.
## What Changed
- Add the durable PRP server authority with one-use bootstrap tickets,
reconnect leases, encrypted frames, bounded state, cumulative ACKs, and
idempotent commands.
- Add `/api/runner/v1/connect/:runId`. Derive its `ws://` or `wss://`
URL from the configured Paperclip API URL.
- Register one authority only after the coordinator verifies the
complete native Codex run binding.
- Commit validated PRP events to `heartbeat_run_events` before ACK.
Reject source gaps and conflicting replays.
- Rebuild accepted results and finalization records from durable result
and terminal events. Enforce finalization owner leases and retry times.
- Project five same-task read operations. Recheck run, agent, task, and
company authority for each call.
- Keep the route hidden. No adapter selects this coordinator, and no
code starts runnerd.
- Vendor the compiled runner TypeScript runtime into the server package
while keeping the workspace package development-only for the server.
- Document the package, database writer, run-log payload, and credential
exclusions.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All
TypeScript protocol checks and 69 Vitest tests pass, including
commit-before-ACK crash recovery. All 43 Rust unit tests and 13 Rust
integration tests pass. Conformance and replay parity pass.
- Run the focused server WebSocket, coordinator, package-build, and
startup-wiring suites. All 26 tests pass, including a clean-checkout
reproduction with the runner `dist` directory absent.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm test:run`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Confirm that the diff contains 19 files. Confirm that it contains no
workflow or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.
## Risks
- The server installs the WebSocket route at startup. An unregistered or
malformed run path fails closed and creates no native record.
- Bootstrap tickets are one use. The private state directory uses mode
`0700`, and the state file uses mode `0600`. The file stores derived
authentication verifiers and never stores raw tickets or lease tokens.
- The journal has explicit frame, command, event-window, and file-size
bounds. A bound violation closes the runner connection or rejects the
command.
- A runner event reaches the database before its ACK. A crash between
event commit and ACK causes a byte-equivalent replay, not a second
logical effect.
- The coordinator accepts only an existing queued or running native
Codex row with exact company, task, agent, runner, session, and
completion-contract ownership.
- Existing direct adapters do not call this service. They keep their
current execution, transcript, result, and finalization paths.
- The server has no production dependency on the private runner package.
Its build copies the compiled runtime into `server/dist`; the workspace
link is development-only. This adds no external package and does not
change the lockfile.

with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used

size are not exposed. The model used agentic reasoning, repository
tools, code execution, and test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs need durable records so Paperclip can explain results and
final status changes.
> - The current heartbeat tables support direct adapters, but they do
not model native runner evidence.
> - The runner transport and server coordinator must share a strict
finalization contract before they write production data.

current behavior and supports later guarded integration.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
Refs #12129
## What Changed
- Add native run result, finalization, completion, assessment, status
decision, and status effect tables.
- Add inert native metadata to heartbeat runs and events. Keep `legacy`
as the default runtime mode.
- Bind each evidence relationship to one company, issue, run, contract,
result, assessment, and decision with composite constraints.
- Add a strict `paperclip.native_finalization.v1` shared type and
validator.
- Preserve database functions, triggers, and the unique indexes required
by foreign keys in JavaScript backups.
- Add migration, backup, mixed-owner denial, validator, and
direct-adapter compatibility tests.
- Document the new records and their ownership rules.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm db:generate`. The schema output and migration safety checks
remain current.
- Run
`PAPERCLIP_PSQL_PATH=/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin/psql
pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/validators/native-finalization.test.ts
packages/db/src/client.test.ts packages/db/src/backup-lib.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts`. All 52
tests pass.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` run completed 4,688 tests. It found 30
existing macOS test-environment failures. A serial rerun with the
canonical `/private/tmp` path reduced those failures to six existing
listener-diagnostics and skill-browser cases. None of those suites use
files in this change.
- The full Linux GitHub Actions matrix passes. This includes all
general-server, serialized-server, workspace, browser, build, typecheck,
canary, and aggregate verification jobs.
- Greptile passes at 5/5. Contributor trust, Superagent, Socket, and
Snyk pass with no finding from this change.
- Storybook visual regression skips by path because this pull request
has no UI or Storybook change.
- Confirm that the diff contains 25 files. Confirm that it contains no
workflow or `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes.
## Risks
- The migration adds tables, columns, indexes, a function, a trigger,
and ownership constraints. It does not remove or rename existing data.
- Composite foreign keys reject mixed-company, mixed-issue, and
mixed-run evidence even when each ID exists.
- The status-version trigger runs only when an issue status changes.
Backup tests confirm that restore retains this trigger and its
dependencies.
- Native source identifiers are unique when present. Legacy event rows
remain unchanged.
- This change does not add a unique run sequence constraint. The later
native writer must allocate its sequence atomically before that
invariant can be safe.
- Existing adapters keep their current execution and finalization paths.
New heartbeat runs default to `legacy` mode.

<h2>v0.28.2</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Fix tree shaking bug due to TypeScript import alias (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4507">#4507</a>)</p>
<p>This release fixes a bug that could cause esbuild to incorrectly
tree-shake imports that are used in a TypeScript type alias under
certain circumstances. Affected code uses a TypeScript-specific
<code>import</code> assignment and looks something like this:</p>
<pre lang="ts"><code>import Base from './dep.js';
import Alias = Base.SomeType;
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Fix CSS minification bug involving <code>&</code> (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4497">#4497</a>)</p>
<p>This release fixes a bug where esbuild's CSS minifier incorrectly
removed a <code>&</code> when it was unsafe to do so. Here is an
example:</p>
<pre lang="css"><code>/* Original code */
.a .b {
& .b:not(& .c) {
color: red;
}
}

(<a

<p>For example: <code>esbuild input.js --outfile=input.js</code> tells
esbuild to overwrite <code>input.js</code> with the output of running
esbuild on it. This was supposed to already be prevented by default, but

any test coverage. The error message was being printed but the input
file was still being overwritten. Oops.</p>

<p>Previously esbuild could generate code containing a syntax error in
complex scenarios involving top-level await used in a dependency cycle.
The problem was a missing <code>async</code> on one or more module
wrapper closures. With this release, esbuild now uses a fixed-point

<p>This release fixes a bug that could cause esbuild to generate
incorrect code for logical assignment operators when lowering them to an
older target environment. Specifically the lowering process requires
duplicating the left-hand side, but esbuild incorrectly failed to count
the duplicate as a new usage when the left-hand side is an identifier.
That then caused the minifier to believe that the left-hand side was
only used once and could attempt to incorrectly inline an initializer
into the first usage. This bug has now been fixed:</p>

<h2>0.28.2</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Fix tree shaking bug due to TypeScript import alias (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4507">#4507</a>)</p>
<p>This release fixes a bug that could cause esbuild to incorrectly
tree-shake imports that are used in a TypeScript type alias under
certain circumstances. Affected code uses a TypeScript-specific
<code>import</code> assignment and looks something like this:</p>
<pre lang="ts"><code>import Base from './dep.js';
import Alias = Base.SomeType;
</code></pre>
</li>
<li>
<p>Fix CSS minification bug involving <code>&</code> (<a
href="https://redirect.github.com/evanw/esbuild/issues/4497">#4497</a>)</p>
<p>This release fixes a bug where esbuild's CSS minifier incorrectly
removed a <code>&</code> when it was unsafe to do so. Here is an
example:</p>
<pre lang="css"><code>/* Original code */
.a .b {
& .b:not(& .c) {
color: red;
}
}
<p>/* Old output (with --minify) */<br />
.a .b{.b:not(& .c){color:red}}</p>
<p>/* New output (with --minify) */<br />
.a .b{& .b:not(& .c){color:red}}<br />
</code></pre></p>
<p>This should match <code><span class="a"><span
class="b"><span

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter utilities provide sandbox transport paths for agent
execution
> - The retired `duplex_v1` path remains in host, gateway, and test code
after `http2_v1` replaced it
> - Retired transport code adds maintenance cost and leaves an unsafe
fallback for unknown gateway modes
> - This pull request removes the retired path, moves shared `http2_v1`
contracts to a leaf module, and closes mode dispatch to a fixed
allowlist
> - The benefit is a smaller transport surface and explicit failure for
unsupported modes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12120
The `http2_v1` transport replaced `duplex_v1`, but the retired broker,
gateway, constants, and tests remain in the adapter utilities. An
unknown bridge mode can also fall through to the queue gateway when a
queue directory exists. This change removes the retired code and rejects
unsupported modes before gateway selection.
## What Changed
- Delete the host `duplex_v1` broker and its transport-only tests.
- Delete the in-sandbox duplex gateway and retired mode constants.
- Move shared `http2_v1` symbols into `bridge-transport-contract.ts`.
- Update the remaining importers and repair their focused tests.
- Validate bridge modes against `http2_v1` and `queue_v1` before queue
lookup.
- Keep `queue_v1`, `duplex-frame-codec.ts`, and duplex telemetry
dimensions unchanged.
## Verification
- [x] `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils` passes.
- [x] `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src` passes: 48 files and
968 tests pass, with 4 pre-existing platform skips.
- [x] Full CI is green on this pull request.
- [x] Greptile review is complete and every finding is resolved.
## Risks
The change removes an internal transport that no host path selects. The
main risk is an overlooked import or test dependency. Targeted typecheck
and tests cover the adapter utility package. Full CI must confirm
workspace-wide compatibility.
## Model Used
Anthropic Claude Sonnet 5 assisted with the implementation, as recorded
in the commit. The commit does not record a context-window size or
reasoning mode.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use the HTTP/2 bridge to carry requests and responses
> - The bridge has an idle bound and a total-lifetime ceiling for
request bodies
> - The old renewable lifetime bound re-armed with each DATA chunk and
could not act before the idle bound
> - The code also repeated the same bounds and rationale in several
places
> - This pull request removes the unreachable renewable bound, keeps the
one-shot ceiling, and simplifies the shared bounds object
> - The benefit is clearer protection logic with the same default
request-body behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The HTTP/2 bridge request-body reader uses several repeated bound
parameters and comments. One renewable lifetime bound cannot act before
the idle bound under the shipped defaults.
**Subsystem affected**
`packages/adapter-utils/` — HTTP/2 bridge adapter utilities.
**Current behavior**
The idle bound and renewable lifetime bound both re-arm after each DATA
chunk. The renewable bound therefore does not act on its own. The
total-lifetime ceiling also shares timer setup with the renewable bound.
**Proposed behavior**
Remove the renewable lifetime bound. Keep the total-lifetime ceiling as
an independent one-shot timer. Pass one bounds object to the bridge call
sites and keep tests for the idle bound and total-lifetime ceiling.
**Reason and benefit**
The change removes unreachable logic and repeated rationale. It keeps
the independent total-lifetime protection and makes the bound behavior
easier to review.
**Breaking changes**
The change removes two public constant and option names that
repository-wide search found unused outside this implementation. The
shipped default behavior does not change.
## What Changed
- Remove the renewable request-body lifetime bound and its public names.
- Keep the total-lifetime ceiling as a one-shot timer that starts when
the body read starts.
- Replace repeated bound parameters with one `Http2BridgeBodyBounds`
object.
- De-duplicate bound rationale comments.
- Add shared test helpers and update tests for the idle bound and
total-lifetime ceiling.
## Verification
- Run `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils`.
- Run `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/http2-bridge-server.test.ts`.
- Wait for the pull request CI checks.
- Request the Greptile review and confirm a 5/5 verdict with no open
findings.
## Risks
The main risk is an incorrect timer lifetime after the renewable timer
removal. The one-shot ceiling remains independent, and the updated tests
cover its expiry and cleanup paths. The change does not alter the
shipped default bounds.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. Exact runtime model version is GPT-5. The
work used tool calls and code execution for repository inspection and
GitHub operations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox providers carry agent work through controlled execution
channels
> - The Daytona callback bridge uses a bespoke line-framed protocol over
its duplex channel
> - The bespoke protocol adds framing work and does not use the Node
transport that already supports multiplexed streams
> - This pull request carries raw bytes across the channel, adds a Node
HTTP/2 bridge, and selects it for Daytona
> - The benefit is one authenticated, multiplexed callback session with
queue_v1 as the bounded fallback
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
The packages/plugins Daytona provider and the shared duplex execution
path.
**Problem or motivation**
The Daytona callback bridge uses a bespoke line-framed protocol over the
provider duplex channel. This adds protocol work and limits stream
handling.
**Proposed solution**
Carry raw bytes through the cross-layer channel. Add an authenticated
Node HTTP/2 host server and sandbox client gateway. Select http2_v1 for
Daytona and retain queue_v1 as the fallback.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the current duplex_v1 protocol. This keeps the bespoke framing path
and does not provide one HTTP/2 session for callback streams.
**Roadmap alignment**
ROADMAP.md lists Daytona under cloud and sandbox agents. This change
improves the shipped Daytona provider path.
**Additional context**
The branch adds no dependency. Node 24 provides the http2 module. The
host token check and canonical path parser remain the single dispatch
path.
## What Changed
- Carry raw Uint8Array chunks through the adapter, plugin, worker,
runtime, and Daytona layers.
- Encode bytes as base64 only across the JSON-RPC hop, because JSON has
no binary type.
- Add the bounded host HTTP/2 server and the in-sandbox HTTP/2 client
gateway.
- Authenticate every stream with the per-run bridge token before route
work.
- Parse the path once and reuse the canonical result for route and
forwarding work.
- Select http2_v1 for Daytona and fall back once to queue_v1 when the
client preface is absent.
- Add transport, session, stream, and fallback telemetry.
- Mark HTTP/2 as the preferred transport and queue_v1 as the
soft-deprecated fallback.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src` — 990 passed and 4
skipped.
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager-duplex.test.ts` — 32 passed.
- `npx vitest run --config
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/vitest.config.ts` — 220
passed and 6 skipped.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `packages/adapter-utils`, `packages/shared`,
`packages/plugins/sdk`, and `server` — clean.
- No `package.json` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` file changed.
- The live Daytona test skips when `DAYTONA_API_KEY` is absent.
- The root `npx tsc --noEmit` command has a pre-existing missing
`packages/adapters/droid-local` reference on this branch and on
`master`.
## Risks
- The transport change affects several duplex layers and could expose
byte-boundary errors.
- A missing HTTP/2 client preface falls back once to queue_v1 and
records `preface_missing`.
- The host token check and canonical path parser must remain on the
shared dispatch path.
- The live Daytona test needs `DAYTONA_API_KEY` and does not run in this
agent sandbox.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5, tool-enabled coding agent with repository inspection,
GitHub CLI, and shell execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package now has protocol, transport, provider, catalog,
and authorization foundations.
> - Its first upstream package boundary should expose only the
implemented runtime and test-helper surfaces.
> - Rust correctness belongs in the repository existing build
verification, without introducing a parallel release process.
> - Direct package creation must build the files declared by the package
manifest.

optimized runner binaries in the existing PR and release Build jobs.
> - The benefit is a production-ready runner package boundary with
minimal build-process change.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
This pull request replaces one bounded part of the archived large runner
change. It follows the package-local authorization change in #12126.
## What Changed
- Export only `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner` and
`@paperclipai/paperclip-runner/testing`.
- Keep Node-only fixture loading and semantic conformance helpers out of
the runtime root.
- Add a provider-neutral semantic conformance kit with stable JSON
comparison and fail-closed input checks.
- Keep deferred SDK, eval, browser, React, lab, and command surfaces
private.
- Pin the runner Rust toolchain to 1.97.1 with the minimal profile and
`rustfmt`.
- Run the Rust workspace tests in release mode.
- Launch the optimized `paperclip-runnerd` and fake-harness binaries in
process-level integration coverage.
- Add one `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` step
to each existing PR and release Build job.
- Make the existing server `prepack` lifecycle run its existing build
after it prepares UI assets.
- Document that no production adapter starts runnerd yet.
This revision adds no standalone GitHub Actions job. It adds no server
runner dependency or runner vendoring. It adds no Docker bootstrap or
clean-consumer harness. It does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`
- 66 TypeScript tests
- 8 protocol contract tests
- 56 Rust unit and integration tests
- Release-mode integration coverage launches the optimized runnerd and
fake-harness binaries.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts` (2 tests)
- Clean `pnpm pack` from `server/` rebuilt the server and produced both
`package/dist/index.js` and `package/dist/index.d.ts`.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs` (8
tests)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check`
- No `pnpm-lock.yaml` diff.
- The diff changes 12 files.
## Risks
The runner adds Rust work to the existing Build jobs. These jobs can
take longer on a cold cache. The pinned toolchain makes contributor and
CI behavior reproducible. Cargo tests use `--release` to verify
optimized executables. The server prepack lifecycle now performs the
build that its published entry points require. This can make direct
server packing slower. This pull request does not wire runnerd into the
server. It does not select runnerd for any adapter. Existing application
execution and finalization paths remain unchanged.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. Agentic coding mode used repository tools, code
execution, and automated tests.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter utilities package defines shared types for agent
execution targets
> - The type name EffectiveSandboxCapabilities describes only one
transport
> - All execution target drivers return the same resolved capability
snapshot
> - This pull request gives the snapshot a general name and keeps the
old type as a deprecated alias
> - The benefit is clearer public vocabulary with source compatibility
for current consumers
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The exported capability snapshot type uses the name
`EffectiveSandboxCapabilities`, although local, SSH, sandbox, and plugin
drivers return it.
**Subsystem affected**
The change affects `packages/adapter-utils` and its server consumers.
**Current behavior**
The public type name points to the sandbox transport. The private parser
also uses the sandbox-only name.
**Proposed behavior**
Use `EffectiveExecutionCapabilities` for the public type and
`parseEffectiveExecutionCapabilities` for the private parser. Keep a
deprecated alias for the old public type.
**Reason and benefit**
The new name matches the established execution-target vocabulary. The
alias keeps existing type imports working during the migration.
**Breaking changes**
None. The runtime field, capability flags, parsed shape, and package
versions do not change.
**Additional context**
GitHub search found no duplicate or related open issue or pull request.
## What Changed
- Rename the exported interface to `EffectiveExecutionCapabilities`.
- Keep `EffectiveSandboxCapabilities` as a deprecated type alias.
- Rename the private parser and update its call site and references.
- Add a type-level test for the deprecated alias.
## Verification
- `npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils`
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-capabilities.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex.test.ts`
- The local checks passed with 133 adapter-utils tests and 31 server
tests.
- Reviewers can confirm that the runtime field and capability flags stay
unchanged.
## Risks
Low risk. The alias protects existing type imports. The change does not
alter runtime behavior or serialized data.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The runtime does not
expose the context window size.

## 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
> - This pull request names each data path in the module names,
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.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex, exact model ID `gpt-5`, with tool use and code
review support.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package defines a provider-neutral protocol and semantic
action catalog.
> - Catalog membership alone must not grant access to an action.
> - Each run needs current company, actor, task, claim, mode, and
application-binding authority.
> - Mutating actions also need safe retry behavior and durable receipts.
> - This pull request adds a package-local authority and dispatch layer.
> - The benefit is a small and testable trust boundary before server
integration lands.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #11962
This pull request replaces one bounded part of the archived large runner
change.
## What Changed
- Add run-scoped tool projection and optional tool discovery.
- Require an explicit application binding before an action is visible.
- Intersect actor claims with claims delegated to the run.
- Recheck company, actor, task, mode, state, role, claim, and policy
authority before each call.
- Validate action input and output with the canonical catalog schemas.
- Redact protected values and keep raw tool content out of semantic
receipts.
- Require atomic idempotency claims for mutating actions.
- Replay exact completed retries and reject changed or concurrent
retries.
- Recover a durable completed receipt if the primary receipt commit
fails, without re-executing the mutation.
- Add bounded authorization records and PRP semantic input and result
receipts.
- Document that this change adds no server binding or production tool
installation.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
- 60 package TypeScript tests pass.
- 56 Rust unit and integration tests pass.
- Protocol, replay, and cross-language conformance checks pass.
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 4,684 passing and 19 skipped tests. It
reproduced 32 local baseline failures across 9 unchanged server files;
all corresponding hosted test shards pass.
- Every applicable GitHub Actions gate passes. The Storybook job skipped
because this PR has no UI changes.
- Socket and Snyk pass with no findings. Superagent completed neutral
with zero annotations because its external sandbox did not start within
120 seconds.
- Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved actionable comments.
- The diff changes 11 files.
## Risks
The main risk is an authorization or idempotency error at the tool
boundary. The dispatcher fails closed for malformed authority,
unavailable receipt storage, stale authority, unauthorized actions,
protected input, invalid binding output, and unrecoverable receipt
completion. The receipt store must recover a completed mutation outcome
idempotently if its primary commit fails; otherwise the claim remains
reserved for operator recovery rather than allowing automated
re-execution. Unbound actions are absent. No server or provider installs
these tools in this change. Existing adapters and application behavior
do not change.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. Agentic coding mode used repository tools, code
execution, and automated tests.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner now has a durable PRP transport and a Codex
provider bridge.
> - Codex must use stable, provider-neutral action contracts before
Paperclip can grant run-scoped tool access.
> - A catalog must describe actions without granting permission to
discover or invoke them.
> - Generated inventory must stay synchronized with its TypeScript
source.
> - This pull request adds the canonical Codex-spine semantic action
catalog inside the runner package.
> - The benefit is a small review unit for schemas and inventory before
authorization and dispatch land.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This pull request extends private runner infrastructure
in `packages/paperclip-runner`.
**Problem or motivation**
The Codex provider bridge has no canonical description of the Paperclip
actions that a later authorization layer can project into a run.
Independent operation lists can drift in names, claims, task modes,
effects, and input bounds.
**Proposed solution**
Add one immutable v1 catalog for the first 27 Codex-spine actions. Give
each action a stable identifier, placement, effect, required claims,
supported task modes, and JSON Schema input and output contracts.
Generate a deterministic JSON inventory from that source and fail
package checks on drift.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch contains larger live and scenario catalogs
with authorization, bindings, labs, and other providers. That change is
too large for this review unit. A generic API escape hatch would also
bypass the operation-level boundary, so this catalog excludes it.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tool access direction in `ROADMAP.md`.
It does not add a tool gateway, application binding, server endpoint, or
production authorization decision.
**Additional context**
Refs #12111 and #11962. Pull request #12111 was squash-merged first.
This branch starts at the resulting `master` commit. Its delta is 10
files.
## What Changed
- Added 27 versioned, provider-neutral semantic action declarations for
the Codex spine.
- Added bounded JSON Schema input contracts and normalized operation
receipt output contracts.
- Added placement, effect, claim, mode, and role metadata.
- Added a deeply frozen public catalog and an operation lookup helper.
- Added a deterministic checked-in JSON inventory and generation
commands.
- Added a byte-for-byte drift gate to the package build.
- Added AJV schema compilation, mutation-bound, forged-field,
immutability, inventory, and non-executable-boundary tests.
- Exported only the catalog types and declarations from the existing
package root.
- Documented that catalog membership does not grant discovery,
authorization, dispatch, or application binding.
- Kept server code, UI code, other providers, scenario-only actions,
labs, generic API access, authorization, dispatch, and receipts
processing out of this pull request.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` passes.
- TypeScript protocol tests pass: 8 Node tests and 49 Vitest tests.
- All package Rust tests and conformance and replay parity checks pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
check:semantic-action-catalog` passes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- Prettier and `git diff --check` pass for the changed source and
documentation files.
- The generated catalog matches its source byte for byte.
- The secret scan is clean.
- The delta against `master` is 10 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,692 passing tests, 19 skipped
tests, and 24 failures in 8 unchanged server test files. The failures
reproduce the established local macOS path-alias, listener, and
workspace-runtime baseline. No changed-file test failed. Linux CI
remains the repository handoff authority.
- The full Linux PR workflow passes, including the aggregate `verify`
gate.
- Snyk, Socket, Superagent security, and supply-chain checks pass.
- Greptile is 5/5 with no actionable comments, recommendations, or
follow-ups.
- Storybook visual regression skipped by design because this pull
request changes no UI file.
- Browser and migration tests are not applicable because this pull
request changes no server, UI, database, or migration file.
## Risks
Production behavior is unchanged because no consumer projects this
catalog into a provider run. The main risks are contract drift,
unbounded mutation input, forged scope fields, accidental executable
authority, and generated inventory drift. Closed input schemas, explicit
bounds, a frozen catalog, tests, and the byte drift gate cover these
risks. The later authorization layer must still bind every action to the
active run and company before discovery or invocation.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change is private contract infrastructure
for the governed tool access direction. It does not duplicate a shipped
or public product surface.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The package-local runner now has a durable PRP transport, but it
cannot execute a real provider.
> - The first provider must preserve PRP identities while using Codex
native thread and turn identities.
> - Recovery must resume the same Codex thread without starting a
duplicate turn.
> - Provider output must become bounded and provider-neutral before it
crosses PRP.
> - Semantic tools must remain unavailable until the catalog and
authorization layers exist.
> - This pull request adds the Codex provider bridge inside the runner
package only.
> - The benefit is a reviewable provider slice with no server or
user-facing behavior change.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This pull request extends private provider infrastructure
in `packages/paperclip-runner`.
**Problem or motivation**
The durable runner from #12100 has no production provider. It cannot
start Codex app-server, map its events, cancel or steer a turn, deliver
a structured question, or recover a native thread after process restart.
**Proposed solution**
Add a supervised Codex app-server transport and a normalized runner
backend. Persist the Codex thread and active turn identities. Resume and
inspect the exact thread after restart. Convert supported notifications
into bounded PRP events. Keep the dynamic tool inventory empty.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch implements several providers, semantic tools,
server coordination, and UI integration together. That change is too
large for one review unit. Reusing the direct `codex_local` adapter
would also couple this package layer to the existing server execution
path.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tools and self-healing run direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not add a server endpoint, runtime adapter,
rollout flag, or user-facing behavior.
**Additional context**
Refs #12100 and #11962. Pull request #12100 was squash-merged first.
This branch starts at the resulting `master` commit. Its current delta
is 16 files.
## What Changed
- Added a Codex-only app-server process transport with bounded JSONL
frames and buffered notifications.
- Added strict provider descriptor validation for the Codex driver,
working directory, launch arguments, model, instructions, and
non-interactive approval policy.
- Started new Codex threads with an empty dynamic tool inventory and the
named workspace-only permission profile.
- Added native turn start, steering, interruption, cancellation, thread
reads, and structured question responses.
- Added thread and active-turn binding checks for provider requests and
notifications.
- Added provider-neutral normalization for session, turn, item, plan,
usage, tool execution, notice, and structured input events.
- Bounded and redacted provider text and process output before durable
persistence.
- Added private atomic provider state for the descriptor, thread ID,
account session ID, active turn ID, and unacknowledged normalized
events.
- Added exact-thread recovery through `thread/resume` and `thread/read`.
Recovery does not issue another `turn/start` for an active turn.
- Preserved active native turn identity across unexpected provider exit
and reconciled it before later start, interrupt, or snapshot commands.
- Added stable provider-event identities, per-event durable commit and
acknowledgement, and a bounded fingerprint receipt journal that prevents
duplicate delivery across outbox and provider-ack crash windows.
- Extended the durable command executor with provider event polling and
explicit process shutdown on stop, suspend, revocation, lease expiry,
and runtime expiry.
- Preserved completed shutdown behavior when the command result is
replayed after a disconnect.
- Added a fake Codex app-server and integration tests for response
buffering, structured questions, interruption, provider exit,
unacknowledged-event recovery, durable resume, and duplicate-turn
prevention.
- Added a focused `test:codex` package command for the provider
integration suite.
- Kept server code, UI code, other providers, semantic catalogs, tool
authorization, and production runtime selection out of this pull
request.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` passes.
- TypeScript contract tests pass: 8 Node tests and 44 Vitest tests.
- Rust tests pass: 43 unit tests, 5 Codex integration tests, 3 public
durable-recovery tests, 2 local-runner tests, and 3 process-supervisor
tests.
- Rust conformance and replay parity checks pass against the shared PRP
fixtures.
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -A
clippy::filter-map-bool-then -D warnings` passes. The narrow allow
covers an unchanged replay implementation from the preceding contract
pull request.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- The delta against `master` is 16 files. The package lockfile is
unchanged. The PR workflow generates its temporary lockfile artifact
from the changed package manifest.
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,690 passing tests, 19 skipped
tests, and 26 failures in 8 unchanged server test files. The failures
reproduce the established local macOS path-alias, listener, port-range,
and workspace-runtime baseline. No changed-file test failed. Linux CI
remains the repository handoff authority.
- Browser and migration tests are not applicable because this pull
request changes no server, UI, database, or migration file.
- The full Linux PR workflow passes. One unchanged heartbeat recovery
test timed out on the first pass and passed on the failed-only rerun;
the aggregate `verify` gate is green.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the final commit. All four review threads are
resolved.
## Risks
Production behavior is unchanged because no server code starts this
provider. The main risks are a provider process escape, cross-thread
event confusion, secret leakage, duplicated turns, duplicated or lost
provider events, lost questions, and unsafe recovery. Process-group
supervision, identity binding, private bounded state, redaction, durable
command replay, retained event acknowledgements, bounded durable
receipts, exact-thread reconciliation, and integration tests cover these
risks. Semantic tools remain undiscoverable in this layer.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change is private provider infrastructure
for planned control-plane work. It does not duplicate a shipped or
public product surface.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The package-local runner can supervise a local process, but it
cannot yet survive a broken controller connection.
> - A production transport must authenticate both peers without putting
the bootstrap secret on the wire.
> - Commands and events must remain bounded, ordered, and recoverable
across reconnects and crashes.
> - Retrying an uncertain side effect is unsafe, so indeterminate
outcomes must fail closed instead of running twice.
> - This pull request adds those transport and recovery guarantees
inside the runner package only.
> - The benefit is a durable PRP boundary that can be reviewed before
any provider or server integration exists.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This pull request extends private transport
infrastructure in `packages/paperclip-runner`.
**Problem or motivation**
The local runner introduced by #12095 has no authenticated network
handshake, durable outbox, reconnect lease, cumulative acknowledgement,
or crash-safe command journal. A dropped connection could otherwise lose
an event or tempt a controller to repeat a side effect whose outcome is
unknown.
**Proposed solution**
Add an authenticated PRP v1 WebSocket transport, encrypted frames,
lease-based reconnects, a bounded durable event outbox, cumulative
acknowledgements, and an idempotent command journal. Preserve pending
commands before execution and classify the crash window as indeterminate
so an uncertain side effect is never repeated automatically.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch implements transport together with Codex,
semantic tools, and server coordination. That change is too large for
one review unit. Keeping transport in memory would make reconnect and
crash recovery unverifiable. Re-running a pending command after restart
would weaken the at-most-once side-effect boundary.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tools and self-healing run direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not add a production provider, server endpoint,
adapter, feature flag, or user-facing behavior.
**Additional context**
Refs #12095 and #11962. Pull request #12095 was squash-merged first.
This branch has been rebased onto the resulting `master` commit, and its
current delta is 13 files.
## What Changed
- Added a loopback-only WebSocket connection policy with one-time DNS
resolution and pinned reconnect addresses.
- Added an HMAC mutual-authentication handshake that never sends the
bootstrap ticket over the socket.
- Added AES-256-GCM secure frames with per-direction keys, monotonic
counters, and session-bound authenticated data.
- Added one-use bootstrap-ticket handling and lease-based reconnect
validation with expiry, revocation, and epoch checks.
- Added a private, symlink-resistant state directory with atomic,
synchronized state replacement.
- Added a bounded durable event outbox, priority-zero reserve,
cumulative acknowledgements, and reconnect replay of only the
unacknowledged suffix.
- Added a bounded command journal with contiguous sequence enforcement,
persistent results, and deterministic duplicate responses. Duplicate
replay requires a SHA-256 match over the complete canonical command.
- Persisted commands before their effects. A crash after persistence but
before result storage returns an indeterminate terminal result and does
not execute the command again.
- Migrated pre-fingerprint command journals by compacting through their
persisted controller cursor. Legacy redelivery fails closed instead of
reconstructing an incomplete identity or repeating an uncertain effect.
- Added strict limits and validation for frames, state, results, outbox
entries, command history, and redacted diagnostics.
- Added a transport-only `paperclip-runnerd --connect-url` mode. It
handles lifecycle commands and rejects provider commands because no
provider is present in this pull request.
- Added a full disconnect-before-ack fault test that reconnects with the
lease, replays identical command and event state, and proves the effect
ran once.
- Kept provider transports, semantic tools, server integration, and
production runtime selection out of this pull request.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` passes.
- TypeScript contract tests pass: 8 Node tests and 44 Vitest tests.
- Rust tests pass: 33 unit tests, 3 public durable-recovery integration
tests, plus the existing 2 local-runner and 3 process-supervisor tests.
- The disconnect-before-ack, lease reconnect, duplicate command,
malformed state, unknown command, bounds, and crash-window tests pass.
- Rust conformance and replay parity checks pass against the shared PRP
fixtures.
- `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -A
clippy::filter-map-bool-then -D warnings` passes. The narrow allow
covers an unchanged replay implementation from the preceding contract
pull request.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- The delta against `master` is 13 files. The package lockfile is
unchanged.
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,686 passing tests, 19 skipped
tests, and 30 failures in 8 unchanged server test files. The failures
reproduce the established local macOS path-alias, listener, port-range,
and workspace-runtime baseline. No changed-file test failed; Linux CI
remains the repository handoff authority.
- Storybook visual regression is not applicable because this pull
request changes no UI or story files.
## Risks
Production behavior is unchanged because no server code starts or
connects to this transport. The main risks are secret disclosure, forged
or replayed frames, state corruption, unbounded disk growth, duplicated
side effects, and incorrect recovery. Mutual authentication, encrypted
counter-bound frames, private atomic state, explicit bounds, cumulative
acknowledgements, a durable command journal, fail-closed indeterminate
recovery, and fault-injection tests cover these risks.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change is private transport infrastructure
for planned control-plane work. It does not duplicate a shipped or
public product surface.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This pull request adds private test infrastructure to
`packages/paperclip-runner`.
**Problem or motivation**
The PRP contracts have no second implementation on `master`. There is
also no small harness that can prove process cleanup, command
idempotency, terminal reconciliation, or bounded JSONL handling without
a production provider.
**Proposed solution**
Add a minimal Rust workspace. Add a local runner process, a scripted
fake harness, a bounded process supervisor, and Rust conformance and
replay checks. Keep all binaries package-local. Do not connect them to
the Paperclip server.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch includes provider transports, durable
networking, SDKs, labs, and server behavior. That change is too large
for this review unit. A TypeScript-only harness would not test
cross-language contract parity.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tools and self-healing run direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not add a user-facing runtime, adapter, endpoint,
or rollout flag.
**Additional context**
Refs #12091 and #11962. Pull request #12091 was merged before this
branch opened. This branch is based on the current `master`. Its delta
is 25 files.
## What Changed
- Added a minimal locked Rust workspace with only `serde` and
`serde_json` dependencies.
- Added a package-local `paperclip-runnerd` local mode and a scripted
fake harness.
- Added bounded controller input, harness input, subprocess output
queues, line sizes, log retention, script sizes, script steps, and
command history.
- Added contiguous controller and harness sequence checks and
equivalent-command replay handling.
- Added process-group supervision that cleans up child processes and
remaining descendants after forced or natural harness exit.
- Added runner-owned terminal reconciliation for success, failure,
interruption, cancellation, controller closure, and protocol failure.
- Added Rust conformance output and deterministic replay summaries for
the shared PRP fixtures.
- Added fake scripts for success, failure, interruption, interaction,
duplicate terminal output, process cleanup, and oversized output.
- Added package scripts and documentation for the Rust and
cross-language checks.
- Kept provider transport, server integration, semantic tools, and
production runtime selection out of this pull request.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` passes.
- TypeScript contract tests pass: 8 Node tests and 44 Vitest tests.
- Rust tests pass: 20 unit tests, 2 local-runner tests, and 3
process-supervisor tests.
- The Rust conformance and replay parity checks pass against the shared
fixtures.
- The natural-exit and forced-exit tests confirm that the harness and
its worker process are stopped.
- The oversized-frame test confirms that a harness frame above the
configured limit is rejected.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes after the final rebase to `master`.
- `pnpm build` passes after the final rebase to `master`.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- The delta against `master` is 25 files. The package lockfile is
unchanged.
- `pnpm test:run` completed locally with 4,686 passing tests, 19 skipped
tests, and 30 failures in 8 unchanged server test files. The failures
are local macOS path-alias, listener, port-range, and workspace-runtime
baseline failures. No changed-file test failed, and every applicable
Linux CI shard passes.
- Storybook visual regression skipped intentionally because this pull
request changes no UI or story files.
## Risks
Low production risk. No server code invokes the new binaries. The
package remains private. The main risks are process leaks, unbounded
local input, and cross-language drift. Bounded queues and sizes,
process-group cleanup tests, fixture manifests, and parity checks cover
these risks.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change is private test infrastructure for
planned control-plane work. It does not duplicate a shipped or public
product surface.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Each agent runs under an adapter. The `grok_local` adapter runs the
Grok Build CLI.
> - The adapter has an environment test. It probes the CLI and reports
checks to the operator.
> - `DEFAULT_GROK_LOCAL_MODEL` is `"grok-build"`. This value is a
sentinel. It means "use the Grok CLI's own default model".
> - `execute.ts` only passes `--model` when the configured model differs
from the sentinel. So the sentinel is never sent to grok.
> - The environment test still compared the sentinel to the models that
`grok models` lists. Real grok never lists `grok-build`.
> - So every probe emitted a false "Configured model not found" warning,
even on a correctly configured agent.
> - This pull request stops the false warning and keeps the real check
for user-set models.
> - The benefit is an accurate environment test: operators see a warning
only when it is real.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. The problem, in bug-report form:
**What happened?**
The `grok_local` environment test always warns `Configured model
"grok-build" not found in available models`, even when the agent works.
`grok-build` is the default sentinel, not a real model id, and it is
never sent to the CLI.
**Expected behavior**
When the model is left at the default, the test reports the CLI's own
default model as info and does not warn. It warns only when a user sets
a real model that `grok models` does not list.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Create a `grok_local` agent and leave the model at its default.
2. Run the adapter environment test.
3. See the `grok_model_not_found` warning, although `grok models` and
the hello probe succeed.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
grok_local (Grok Build CLI).
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/test.ts`: the model check now
treats the default sentinel as valid and reports it as info (`Using the
Grok CLI's default model (<default>)`). It still warns when an
explicitly configured, non-sentinel model is absent from the discovered
list. This matches `execute.ts`, which never sends the sentinel to grok.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/test.test.ts`: adds a test
that the default sentinel does not warn when it is absent from the real
model list, and a test that a real, unavailable model still warns.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/test.test.ts` — 5 passed.
## Risks
Low risk. The change only affects one adapter's environment-test
reporting. It does not change how runs pass `--model`. No schema, no
runtime behavior change.
## Model Used
Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking, with tool use and
code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents on remote sandbox targets reach the Paperclip API through the
sandbox callback bridge: a loopback HTTP gateway inside the sandbox
queues request files for a host-side worker
> - The gateway process has no supervisor: nothing inside the sandbox
respawns it, so a crash leaves a dead loopback port for the rest of the
run
> - The gateway also never cleaned up request files whose responses
never arrived, so a stalled host wedged the queue at its depth cap and
every later request got an immediate 503
> - #12052 made the host-side worker survive transient faults; this pull
request hardens the other half of the relay
> - The benefit is that a gateway fault degrades one request instead of
severing the agent from the control plane until run end
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12052 (host-side worker half of the same relay). Refs #9904 and
#8977 (adjacent bridge behavior).
No public issue exists for this defect. The description below follows
the bug report template.
**What happened?**
During a staging run, an agent's API calls to the bridge's loopback port
began failing at the connection level (curl reported HTTP 000) partway
through the run. A dead gateway process is the only mechanism that
produces connection-level failures on that port, and nothing restarts
it. Separately, request files for timed-out requests stayed in the
queue; after 64 accumulated, the gateway answered every request with
`503 Bridge request queue is full.` until the run ended.
**Expected behavior**
An uncaught fault in the gateway must not kill the loopback listener. A
request that times out must not leave its file counting toward the
queue-depth cap. A queue full of orphaned files must recover instead of
rejecting until run end.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a remote-sandbox run and stop the host-side bridge worker.
2. Send requests to the gateway until they time out; the request files
stay in `requests/`.
3. After 64 such files, every request gets an immediate 503, even after
the host recovers.
4. Independently, raise any uncaught exception in the gateway process;
the loopback port dies for the rest of the run.
## What Changed
- The generated gateway source installs global `uncaughtException` /
`unhandledRejection` handlers that log to stderr (already redirected to
`logs/bridge.log`) and keep serving. The relay holds no state a fault
can corrupt beyond the one request it interrupted.
- Survival is gated on readiness: before the gateway has written its
readiness file (file mode) or sent its READY frame (duplex mode), the
same handlers exit(1) instead. A startup fault (failed bind, failed
readiness write) means the process can never serve, and surviving there
would only leave an un-ready zombie while the host waits out its
readiness poll.
- The file gateway attaches an explicit `error` listener to its server
and pins the event loop with a keepalive until the bind settles. Newer
Node runtimes do not reliably surface a failed bind through
`uncaughtException` in this shape: the process can drain and exit 0
before the error event is delivered (reproduced on Node 24/25; Node 22
delivered it). The duplex gateway already had an explicit listener.
- A request that times out waiting for the host now deletes its own
request file. The host's response write is guarded on that file, so the
removal also signals that no caller waits anymore.
- At the queue-depth cap, the gateway sweeps request files older than
the response deadline (orphans from killed callers or a previous gateway
process) before rejecting with 503.
- Host-side, `processRequestFile` treats a request file that vanished
before the read as the benign caller-gave-up race and skips it quietly
instead of escalating into the recovery pass.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts` — 43 passed,
verified on both Node 22 and Node 25.
- New end-to-end test: with no worker running, a request times out
(502), its file is cleaned, and the same gateway then serves a 200 once
a worker starts — no wedge, no dead port.
- New end-to-end test: with `maxQueueDepth: 1` and a backdated orphan
file at the cap, the gateway sweeps the orphan and admits the request
instead of answering 503.
- New worker test: a request file that vanishes before the read is
skipped without a handler call, a response write, or a run-level error.
- New generated-source test: spawned directly against an
already-occupied port, the gateway exits 1 promptly with the
`EADDRINUSE` fault on stderr instead of lingering un-ready (or exiting 0
silently, the pre-existing behavior on Node 24/25).
- A pin keeps the crash handlers, the readiness gate, and the sweep in
the generated source.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`.
## Risks
- Keeping a Node process alive after `uncaughtException` is normally
suspect; here the alternative is a dead loopback port for the rest of
the run, and the gateway is a stateless per-request relay. The fault is
logged with its stack to `bridge.log`, and survival applies only after
readiness — startup faults still fail fast.
- Deleting a timed-out request file could race a host that is
mid-processing. The host's response write is already guarded on
request-file existence, and the new host-side skip treats the vanished
file as a no-op, so no duplicate mutation path is introduced.
- The stale sweep runs only at the depth cap and only removes files
older than the response deadline plus a 2 s grace, so a live caller's
file is never swept.
- Orphaned response files (host responded after the caller gave up)
still linger; that pre-existing minor leak is unchanged here.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Code (CLI harness), 200k
context window.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
This change affects the private `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner` package.
It does not change an existing server or adapter execution path.
**Problem or motivation**
The PRP v1 schemas do not yet provide TypeScript types, runtime
validators, normalized result handling, or a deterministic session
projection. Later Rust, transport, provider, and server work needs one
tested TypeScript oracle instead of separate interpretations.
**Proposed solution**
Generate a checked-in TypeScript schema bundle from the PRP v1 sources.
Add derived types, AJV validation, result and question validation,
deterministic replay, a reducer, and generated golden snapshots. Export
only these implemented root-package surfaces.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch adds the TypeScript contracts together with
Rust, providers, semantic authorization, SDKs, labs, and server
behavior. That delta is too large for normal review. Handwritten
duplicate protocol types would also create a drift risk.
**Roadmap alignment**
This work supports the governed tool and control-plane direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not enable a new production adapter or endpoint.
**Additional context**
Refs #12087 and #11962. This pull request was prepared on #12087, then
rebased onto its squash merge before opening. The current delta against
`master` is 37 files.
## What Changed
- Added JSON-Schema-derived PRP v1 types and AJV runtime validation.
- Added fail-closed required-version checks and cross-envelope binding
checks.
- Added provider-neutral completion-result and structured-question
contracts.
- Added normalization for accepted legacy provider result aliases before
strict validation.
- Added a deterministic session reducer for replay, duplicate delivery,
source gaps, requests, items, results, and terminal state.
- Added generated replay snapshots and compact parity summaries for six
accepted fixtures.
- Added schema-bundle, manifest, and replay-golden drift gates.
- Added only the root package export. Deferred testing, SDK, evaluation,
lab, provider, and browser entry points remain unavailable.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test` passed with 8
protocol tests and 44 TypeScript tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:replay-goldens`
passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- The delta against its declared base is 37 files.
- `pnpm test:run` was executed locally. The package tests pass, while
the macOS repository run retains the unchanged local-environment
failures documented on #12087. The complete Linux CI matrix must pass on
this commit.
- A scoped scan found no secret-like values, internal references, or
deferred-provider file names.
- Greptile found an unbounded sequence-gap allocation. Commit `4a405c17`
caps detailed missing IDs at 256, records the full missing count and
truncation state, and rejects sequence values above the exact JavaScript
integer range. The focused tests, workspace typecheck, build, and token
gates pass after this fix.
## Risks
Low production risk. The package remains private. This change adds no
process, network endpoint, provider bridge, server integration, database
change, or execution selection. The main risk is protocol interpretation
drift. Generated schema and replay gates detect that drift. Browser and
CSP-specific validator packaging remains deferred to its later package
boundary.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change defines contracts for planned
control-plane work and does not add overlapping product behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This pull request adds a private package contract for
later server, TypeScript, and Rust work.
**Problem or motivation**
Paperclip Runner does not have a small language-neutral protocol
boundary on `master`. A runtime implementation without this boundary can
drift between languages, accept unsupported required versions, or
silently change canonical fixtures.
**Proposed solution**
Add PRP v1 JSON Schemas, accepted and rejected fixtures, a Codex
structured-question fixture, and a generated SHA-256 manifest. Run
compatibility and manifest checks during the package build. Keep the
package private and export nothing in this pull request.
**Alternatives considered**
The combined runner branch contains schemas together with providers,
SDKs, labs, and server behavior. That change is too large for normal
review. Generating TypeScript validators in this pull request would also
cross into the next review unit.
**Roadmap alignment**
This contract supports the governed tool and control-plane direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not enable a new production adapter or endpoint.
**Additional context**
Refs #12084 and #11962. This pull request was reviewed as a stack on
#12084, then rebased and retargeted to `master` after #12084 merged. The
current delta is 38 files.
## What Changed
- Added 20 PRP v1 JSON Schemas with stable identifiers and resolved
references, including explicit cross-language conformance input and
output schemas.
- Added canonical replay, cross-language, and Codex question fixtures.
- Added accepted cases for additive optional fields and a rejected case
for an unsupported required protocol version.
- Added a deterministic manifest with SHA-256 digests for every schema
and fixture.
- Added package-local schema-instance, schema-reference, compatibility,
question-ID, conformance-pair, and drift checks.
- Added a private workspace package with no public exports and no
production runtime behavior.
- Added the package manifest to the Docker dependency-stage inventory
required for every workspace package. This does not copy or build runner
runtime code into the production image.
- Kept the provider descriptor and question fixture Codex-only. No
deferred provider package or dependency is present.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` passed with Node 24.19.0 and pnpm
9.15.4. No lockfile change is committed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:protocol` passed
with 8 tests.
- The committed AJV 2020-12 gate accepted every canonical v1 replay,
question, and cross-language conformance fixture. It rejected the
required v2 fixture, a replay fixture with a missing required command
ID, and conformance output with a missing session ID.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed and ran the protocol manifest drift check.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `node ./scripts/check-docker-deps-stage.mjs` passed.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- The delta against its declared base is 38 files.
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 4,687 passing tests, 19 skipped tests,
and 29 failures across 9 unchanged server files. The failures reproduce
macOS path aliases, local listener probes, workspace-runtime
assumptions, and one connection-retry timeout. No changed-file test
failed. Linux CI must pass before this pull request is ready.
- `pnpm check:tokens` reports existing personal-name references outside
this pull request. A scoped scan of `packages/paperclip-runner` found no
secret-like values, internal references, or deferred-provider names.
- PR #12084 was squash-merged, and this branch was rebased onto that
merge and retargeted to `master`. The first master-base policy run
correctly caught the missing Docker dependency-stage manifest copy;
commit `4fa1ea7c` fixes that gate, and the complete Linux matrix is
green.
- Serialized server shard 1 initially hit an unchanged heartbeat
test-harness timeout and a later assertion in the same file. Its
isolated rerun passed in 3m57s. All other shards passed on their first
attempt.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5 with no blocking failure.
Both earlier actionable validation threads are resolved, and no review
thread remains open.
## Risks
Low production risk. The package is private and has no exports, server
adapter, endpoint, or process. AJV is a package-only development
dependency that the server workspace already uses. The main risk is
contract churn before the TypeScript and Rust consumers land. The
generated manifest and compatibility fixtures make that churn explicit.
I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This change defines a contract for planned
control-plane work and does not add overlapping product behavior.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 was used. The exact serving model ID and context
size were not exposed. The model used high reasoning, repository tools,
GitHub tools, and local code execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environment runtime drivers provide workspace, lease, and custom
image behavior
> - Runtime code used driver identity checks and several
capability-specific members
> - These checks spread capability rules across the runtime and made new
drivers harder to verify
> - This pull request adds one general capability classifier and one
static driver support table
> - The benefit is one fail-closed capability model that keeps current
behavior and supports future drivers
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Environment runtime capability checks for workspace realization, custom
images, lease capabilities, and duplex authorization.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (multiple of the above)
**Current behavior**
The runtime selects several capability paths from driver identity and
separate capability members. Custom image gates also trust provider
declarations without checking every matching live worker method.
**Proposed behavior**
The runtime uses one general capability classifier and one static
support table. Custom image gates require both the provider declaration
and every matching live worker method. The public capability names
remain unchanged.
**Reason and benefit**
The change keeps capability rules in one place. It removes identity
conditions from runtime consumers and makes unsupported drivers fail
closed.
**Breaking changes**
None. The public names sandboxCapabilities, sandboxProviders, and
EffectiveSandboxCapabilities remain available.
## What Changed
- Add classifyEnvironmentCapabilities and static support definitions for
all four driver families.
- Add resolveCapabilities to every environment runtime driver.
- Move driver traits into environment-driver-traits.ts and migrate
runtime consumers.
- Require provider declarations and matching live worker methods for all
custom image gates.
- Migrate duplex authorization to the general resolver and remove the
dead sandbox-only member.
- Delete the unused resolveEffectiveSandboxCapabilities wrapper and
update its test.
## Verification
- pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-capability-contract.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts — 92 tests pass
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-driver-traits.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/general-capability-classifier.test.ts — 12 tests
pass
- pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-custom-images-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-capabilities.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target-duplex-kill-switch.test.ts
— 66 tests pass
## Risks
The main risk is a capability gate that denies a valid driver or permits
an invalid driver. The static support matrix, live worker method checks,
and regression tests reduce this risk. No database, public API, or
published type name changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The deployment
does not provide a separate context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Adapters inject prompt text that teaches agents how to call the
Paperclip API, including copy-pasteable curl examples
> - Some of those URLs contained brace placeholders like
`/api/issues/{id}/checkout`
> - Agents paste such lines verbatim; the placeholder reaches the server
as `/api/issues/%7Bid%7D` and 404s, and request logs show agents doing
exactly that
> - The acpx engine's API note already avoids this by using
`$PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID`, and its test pins `/api/issues/{id}` out of the
prompt
> - This pull request applies the same standard to the gemini adapter,
the shared prompt template, and the openclaw gateway workflow
> - The benefit is that agents stop burning turns on placeholder 404s
and doc examples stay safe to execute as written
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this defect. The description below follows
the bug report template.
**What happened?**
Server request logs show agents issuing `GET /api/issues/%7Bid%7D` — the
literal, percent-encoded text `{id}` — which 404s. The source is adapter
prompt text: the gemini adapter's API note embeds a curl example with
`/api/issues/{id}/checkout` in the URL, the shared agent prompt template
mentions `/api/issues/{issueId}` endpoints, and the harness checkout
notice names `/api/issues/{id}/checkout`. Models copy these strings into
real requests.
**Expected behavior**
URL paths in prompt text must carry environment variables or real ids,
never brace placeholders, in every string an agent might execute
verbatim. Where a placeholder is unavoidable, the prompt must state
explicitly that the literal text must never be sent.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Give an agent the gemini adapter's API access note.
2. Watch it call `curl ...
"$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/issues/{id}/checkout"` as written.
3. The server logs `POST /api/issues/%7Bid%7D/checkout 404`.
## What Changed
- gemini-local's API note curl example now uses `$PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` and
tells the agent to substitute a real issue id when that variable is
absent — the same convention as the acpx engine's API note.
- The shared agent prompt template (`server-utils.ts`) uses
`$PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID` in its interaction-creation and resume-endpoint
mentions, and the harness checkout notice names `POST
/api/issues/$PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID/checkout`.
- openclaw-gateway's endpoint workflow keeps its `{issueId}`
placeholders — they are defined by its "determine issueId" step — but
now states explicitly that the literal text must never be sent in a URL.
- `server-utils.test.ts` pins the new form and adds negative pins that
keep `/api/issues/{id}` and `/api/issues/{issueId}` out of the shared
prompt template, mirroring the existing acpx-engine negative pin.
- The `confirmation:{issueId}:plan:{revisionId}` idempotency-key
template is untouched: it is a value-construction pattern, not a URL.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/adapters/gemini-local packages/adapters/openclaw-gateway` — 152
passed. The single failure (`pre-selects gemini-api-key auth in the
managed HOME for sandbox execution`) is a pre-existing
environment-specific failure on the development machine, unrelated to
prompt text; CI is authoritative for it.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils --filter
@paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local --filter
@paperclipai/adapter-openclaw-gateway typecheck`.
## Risks
- Low risk: prompt-text and test changes only; no runtime logic changes.
- Agents that memorized the old example strings keep working — the
routes are unchanged, only the placeholder text in prompts is.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Code (CLI harness), 200k
context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents on remote sandbox targets reach the Paperclip API through the
sandbox callback bridge: a loopback gateway inside the sandbox writes
request files, and a host-side worker polls them over the provider's
exec channel and forwards them to the server
> - The worker's poll loop had one terminal catch: a single reset or
slow exec ended the relay for the rest of the run
> - The in-sandbox gateway kept queueing requests against the dead
worker, so every later API call from the agent stranded, including its
final status write
> - A relay that dies on one transient fault turns a routine provider
hiccup into a lost issue disposition
> - This pull request restructures the loop so transient faults back off
and retry, while the watchdog remains the escalation path for sustained
outages
> - The benefit is that one flaky exec no longer severs an agent from
the control plane mid-run
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9904. Refs #8977. Both touch adjacent bridge behavior (curl shim,
header forwarding); neither addresses worker-loop lifetime.
No public issue exists for this defect. The description below follows
the bug report template.
**What happened?**
During a staging run, the host-side bridge worker hit one failed sandbox
exec while relaying requests. The poll loop's only catch is terminal: it
failed the pending requests and set the worker to settled, with no
restart. The agent's later API calls saw connection-level failures or
bridge errors until the run ended. Its final `PATCH status: done` was
lost, and the missing-disposition recovery had to repair the issue in a
corrective run.
**Expected behavior**
One transient exec failure must not end the relay for the rest of the
run. The worker must back off and retry. A sustained outage must still
fail queued requests fast through the watchdog. In-flight request
semantics (abort plus 504 backstop, retry-safe 503) must not change.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a remote-sandbox run and let the provider exec channel reject
or stall one call while the bridge worker polls.
2. The worker hits one `listJsonFiles` failure or one request-attempt
timeout, and the loop exits through its terminal catch.
3. Every later bridge request strands. The loopback gateway keeps
accepting requests that never complete, and after 64 queued files it
answers every request with 503 until run end.
## What Changed
- `startSandboxCallbackBridgeWorker`'s poll loop now separates three
failure domains:
- A failed poll backs off exponentially (capped at 5 s) and retries
instead of dying. The first failure of a streak still lands on the run
trace through the workerFailed span; later repeats only warn.
- A failed or hung request attempt runs the same recovery pass the loop
previously died on — abort the in-flight handler (its 504 backstop keeps
the caller from stranding) and 503 the unclaimed queued requests — and
the loop then continues and serves the caller's retry.
- A listing where every file already has an in-flight attempt sleeps one
poll interval, like an empty listing. The previous immediate re-list was
a hot spin: an exec storm against a real channel, and a pure-microtask
loop that starved every timer in the process when the queue client
resolves synchronously.
- The watchdog, the claim/finalize fences, and the stop/drain semantics
are unchanged.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts` — 38 passed.
- New regression test: a request queued behind three consecutive poll
failures is still delivered.
- Updated tests: the stalled-poll test now expects recovery (the
handler's real 200) instead of a terminal 503; the sustained-outage 503
path remains proven by the dedicated watchdog test; the
recovery-503-write-retry test triggers the recovery pass through a hung
request read, because a hung poll no longer runs that pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`.
## Risks
- Behavior change: a transiently failing poll no longer mass-fails
queued requests on the first error. Callers wait through the backoff
window, bounded by the existing in-sandbox 30 s response deadline, or
the watchdog fails them after 20 s of no successful iteration. This
trades fast-but-terminal degradation for recovery.
- A hard-down channel now retries every ≤5 s for the rest of the run
instead of stopping. Each retry is one exec attempt against a channel
that already fails.
- In-flight mutation safety is unchanged: the guard map and the claim
protocol still prevent a double-applied host mutation, and a guarded
file is always finalized by its own attempt or by its 504 backstop.
## Model Used
- Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Code (CLI harness), 200k
context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environments define where agent runs execute: local, SSH, or
provider sandboxes
> - Operators can create and edit environments, but the UI has no way to
delete one
> - The server already exposes `DELETE /environments/:id` and a
delete-blast-radius preflight, but no UI consumes them, and a delete
blocked by reusable sandbox leases gives the operator no path forward
> - This pull request adds the delete flow to the environment
configuration page: a preflight-driven modal that reassigns dependent
agents, names the workspaces that hold blocking sandbox leases, and can
destroy those sandboxes with explicit consent
> - The benefit is that operators can retire stale environments from the
UI without database surgery, and dependent agents move to a chosen
replacement instead of silently falling back
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #8554
Refs #11124
**Subsystem affected**
Environments (server routes, environment runtime service, and the
environment settings UI).
**Problem or motivation**
The environment configuration page has no delete control. The server
delete endpoint exists, but nothing in the UI calls it. When reusable
sandbox leases block a delete, the 409 error names no owner, so the
operator cannot find the blocking workspace. Agents that use the
environment as their default lose it silently through the FK `on delete
set null`.
**Proposed solution**
Add a delete button with a confirmation modal on the environment edit
page. The modal reads the delete-blast-radius preflight. It offers a
dropdown to reassign dependent agents to another environment before the
delete. It lists each workspace that holds a blocking reusable sandbox
lease, with a link. When those leases are the only blocker, the confirm
button destroys the sandboxes inline
(`?destroyReusableSandboxLeases=true`) and then deletes. A failed
teardown falls back to `pending_cleanup` for the sweep, so no sandbox is
orphaned.
## What Changed
- `ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.tsx`: delete button on the edit page
header, confirmation modal with agent reassignment select, lease-holder
list, impact notes, and a consent-labeled destroy-and-delete action
- `ui/src/api/environments.ts`: `deleteBlastRadius` and `remove` client
methods; `remove` takes an optional `destroyReusableSandboxLeases` flag
- `server/src/routes/environments.ts`: `DELETE /environments/:id`
accepts `?destroyReusableSandboxLeases=true`; it destroys the
environment's reusable sandbox leases first, but only when those leases
are the sole delete blocker, then re-checks the blast radius before it
deletes
- `server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts`: new
`destroyReusableSandboxLeasesForEnvironment` — destroys every reusable
sandbox lease an environment still owns while the environment config
(provider credentials) is still available
- `server/src/services/environments.ts`: the delete blast radius now
returns `reusableSandboxLeaseHolders` (lease id, workspace, issue) so
clients can name what blocks a delete
- `packages/shared/src/types/environment.ts`:
`EnvironmentDeleteReusableLeaseHolder` type on the blast radius
- Tests: route gating for the consent flag (destroy runs, mixed-blocker
rejection, surviving-lease rejection), runtime destroy scoped to an
environment, blast-radius holder join, and UI tests for the reassignment
flow, holder links, and the consent button
## Verification
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts
ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx`
- Manual: open Settings → Environments → edit an environment. The trash
icon opens the modal. With agents on the environment, pick a
reassignment target and confirm; agents move and the environment
deletes. With reusable sandbox leases, the modal names the holding
workspaces and the confirm button reads "Destroy N sandboxes and
delete".
## Risks
- The consented path destroys provider sandboxes. It runs only when
reusable leases are the sole blocker, so a delete that would still be
rejected never destroys anything. A failed teardown routes to
`pending_cleanup` and the delete stays blocked until the sweep resolves
it.
- Agent reassignment issues one PATCH per agent from the client. A
mid-sequence failure leaves some agents reassigned; the reassignments
are valid on their own and the UI refreshes to the actual state.
- Hard blockers (managed local, instance default, pending cleanup) keep
the existing 409 behavior and disable the confirm button.
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic) — Fable 5, model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking, agentic tool use via Claude Code CLI.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use provider-specific login flows
> - Codex device login needs a live pseudo-terminal (PTY), while the
shared channel still uses Claude-specific names
> - The old streamed-exec path does not provide the prompt transport
that Codex needs
> - This pull request moves Codex device login to the shared login PTY
and removes the dead streamed-exec path
> - The benefit is one controlled login transport with fail-closed
capability checks and safer credential reads
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
Codex device login used a streamed-exec path that did not provide the
required prompt transport. The shared login channel also exposed
Claude-specific names outside Claude code.
**Expected behavior**
The host selects a fixed login command from trusted adapter data. Codex
login uses the provider login PTY. Providers without that capability
fail closed.
**Proposed solution**
Use a server-controlled session home, create and validate it as a fresh
0700 directory, read credentials from one validated descriptor, and
rename shared channel names to the neutral login PTY family.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep the shared login PTY as the single transport. Do not keep the
removed streamed-exec path because it cannot provide the required prompt
transport.
**Roadmap alignment**
This change supports the planned login transport work. It does not add a
separate roadmap item.
## What Changed
- Route Codex device login through the shared login PTY transport.
- Select the login command from a closed internal command key.
- Carry a server-controlled session home through the launch contract.
- Create and validate the session home as a fresh 0700 directory owned
by the login user.
- Read the credential file with descriptor-relative, no-follow path
walking and final descriptor checks.
- Gate the login route and run lease on the provider login PTY
capability.
- Rename shared channel names to the neutral login PTY family.
- Remove the streamed-exec transport value, selector field, driver
branch, and related tests.
- Hide Codex login in the user interface when the provider lacks the
login PTY capability.
## Verification
- Server unit suites pass: 89/89.
- Adapter-utils suites pass: 262/262.
- Codex-local suites pass: 326/326.
- Credential-read reader suite passes: 20/20.
- Daytona login PTY suite passes: 30/30.
- Device-login suites pass: 56/56.
- TypeScript checks pass for server, adapter-utils, and UI.
- GitHub Actions must pass after pull request creation.
- Greptile review must reach 5/5 with no open P2 findings,
recommendations, or follow-ups.
## Risks
- Providers without a login PTY capability lose Codex login support by
design.
- The credential read rejects invalid ownership, mode, type, path, and
size.
- The launch-time sandbox directory race remains outside the threat
model because the login runs inside the sandbox and a hostile sandbox
already controls its credential.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review assistance. The exact
context window and reasoning mode are not exposed by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters use a duplex bridge to send requests and responses
across an isolated boundary
> - The bridge held each request body and response body in memory on
both ends
> - Large bodies can exhaust memory and reduce the safe size of adapter
traffic
> - This pull request sends receive-side bodies as sequenced chunks and
spills large bodies to disk
> - The benefit is bounded memory use with strict size, order, and
cleanup checks
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The adapter-utils duplex bridge transports request and response bodies
across the sandbox boundary.
**Current behavior**
The bridge stores each complete body in memory on both ends of the
duplex channel.
**Proposed behavior**
The bridge sends body chunks with sequence checks. The receive side
keeps bodies up to 1 MiB in memory and spills larger bodies to a
temporary file.
**Reason and benefit**
This change reduces memory pressure and keeps malformed or oversized
input on a terminal error path.
**Breaking changes**
The duplex frame version changes to version 2. The request and response
envelopes now carry bodyByteCount, and body_chunk frames carry the body
data.
## What Changed
- Add version 2 body_chunk frames with 256 KiB raw slices encoded as
canonical base64 text.
- Add receive-side memory and spill reassembly with per-channel disk and
file limits.
- Reject malformed, reordered, oversized, truncated, and non-canonical
body chunks.
- Stream reassembled request bodies to the host forward handler with a
web stream and half-duplex request.
- Remove spill files on success, failure, channel death, and startup
cleanup.
## Verification
- Run the adapter-utils type-check.
- Run the adapter-utils duplex test suite.
- Run all pull request checks.
- Run the Greptile review and confirm a 5/5 score with no open findings.
## Risks
The wire format changes from version 1 to version 2. Older bridge peers
cannot use this protocol. The receive path adds temporary file
operations and cleanup paths. The implementation fails closed when a
body violates size or sequence rules.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex, tool-enabled coding agent. The exact context-window
size and reasoning mode are not exposed by the runtime.
