* origin/master:
fix(onboarding): preserve draft through company refetch (#12735)
feat(codex-local): give each Codex account its own home and path secret (#12709)
feat(claude-local): add Claude Fable 5.1 support (#12730)
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Onboarding creates an organization in the browser.
> - The browser keeps onboarding drafts for the same origin.
> - A new data directory does not clear that browser data.
> - The organization create request refreshes the company list.
> - The old gate unmounted the live wizard during that refresh.
> - This pull request keeps the wizard mounted after its first draft
check.
> - The customer can continue to the agent step after the organization
is created.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No matching public issue was found. Related earlier fix: Refs #12667.
**What happened?**
A local canary install could create an organization through the API and
then return the browser to an empty organization-name screen.
**Expected behavior**
The wizard must continue to the agent step after it creates the
organization.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Keep a Paperclip onboarding draft in the browser.
2. Run npx paperclipai@canary onboard with a new data directory.
3. Open /onboarding.
4. Enter an organization name and select Continue.
**Paperclip version or commit**
2026.902.0-canary.7. The fix is based on current master.
**Deployment mode**
Local trusted mode through the Paperclip CLI.
**Install method**
npx package install.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific.
**Database mode**
Embedded PostgreSQL.
## What Changed
- Keep the onboarding wizard mounted after its first successful draft
ownership check.
- Keep a failed ownership check retryable, so a later verified fetch
restores the saved draft.
- Add component, source E2E, and published-canary coverage for the
retained-draft refetch case.
## Verification
- Confirmed that the new canary scenario fails against
2026.902.0-canary.7 before this fix.
- pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/OnboardingWizard.test.tsx
- PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=3245 pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts tests/e2e/onboarding.spec.ts
--reporter=line
- pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck
- pnpm check:token-gates
## Risks
Low risk. The initial ownership check still waits for a fresh company
list. A later successful retry can restore a retained draft. Later
background refetches preserve live wizard state.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. Reasoning, tool use, code editing, terminal
execution, and browser testing were used. The execution environment does
not expose a context-window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for companies that use AI agents for
work
> - Local adapters connect Paperclip agents to provider command line
tools
> - The Codex adapter stores login data in a shared company home
> - A shared home cannot keep credentials for more than one Codex
account
> - This pull request gives each account a safe home and a matching
company secret
> - The benefit is that one company can use multiple Codex accounts at
the same time
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
A company can hold only one Codex subscription credential because device
login uses one shared home. A second account cannot log in without
replacing or conflicting with the first credential.
**Proposed solution**
This change validates the vendor account identifier, stores each
credential in its own home, and creates a company secret that points to
that home. Repeat login calls return success when the matching secret
already exists.
**Roadmap alignment**
The change supports the roadmap goal for centrally managed secrets with
scoped access and audited resolution.
**Additional context**
The security review returned approve with no blocking finding. The
branch adds shared account-handle validation and tests for device login
and the Codex local adapter.
## What Changed
- Add strict allowlist validation for Codex account handles.
- Store each Codex account credential in a separate home under the Codex
cache root.
- Verify that the resolved account home stays inside the cache root.
- Create the `CODEX_HOME_<handle>` company secret for each account.
- Keep repeat and concurrent login calls safe and idempotent.
- Add shared helper and route, adapter, and validation tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local test` passes with 343
tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test
src/__tests__/agent-device-login-routes.test.ts` passes with 25 tests.
- The adapter suite passes with 23 tests.
- The shared package and Codex adapter typechecks pass.
- Continuous integration must pass on every check before merge.
## Risks
The account handle becomes part of a directory path and secret name. The
strict allowlist and root containment check reduce path traversal risk.
Existing single-account homes remain unchanged unless a new device login
creates an account-specific home.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 (exact runtime model ID: gpt-5), with tool use and code
execution. The runtime context window is not exposed in this run.

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

agent.
> - Claude Fable 5.1 was absent from the adapter model lists.
> - The adapter runtime also used a Claude Code build that rejected
Fable 5.1.

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

## Model Used
Provider: OpenAI. Model: GPT-5 Codex. The host did not expose a more
specific model ID or context-window size. Capabilities used: agentic
reasoning, repository editing, shell execution, web research, and local
runtime verification.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable provider sessions to individual
task runs through PRP.
> - Provider continuity and per-run authority are different lifetimes.
> - The existing implementation mixed those lifetimes and lost event
metadata between provider frames, runnerd, persistence, API
sanitization, and the task thread.
> - That caused failed continuation, missing progress and Plans,
duplicate replies, hidden failures, and unsafe recovery.
> - This repair gives every heartbeat fresh authority, preserves
qualified provider-session continuity, and restores one lossless
presentation path without changing direct adapters.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A second native heartbeat could reuse tickets, leases, command receipts,
sequence state, and run identity from the first heartbeat. Provider
phase and item identity could be lost before the UI read them. Redaction
could corrupt protocol discriminators while still missing malformed
credential tails. The task thread could fold progress into the final
response, hide failures, or show more than one final answer. Native
Codex also exposed approval modes that do not yet have a durable
approval bridge.
**Expected behavior**
Each heartbeat uses a new PRP authority epoch. Codex and OpenCode
preserve exact qualified provider sessions; ACPX emits an explicit
continuity event when its qualified process-replacement policy is used.
Every accepted provider event is presented, classified as internal, or
surfaced as unsupported. The task page shows chronological progress,
reasoning summaries, activity, Plans, interactions, terminal failures,
and exactly one final reply. Direct adapters retain their existing path.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable the unified experimental Paperclip Runner setting.
2. Create a local native Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, or ACPX Codex
agent.
3. Run response, Plan, structured-question/resume, restart,
cancellation, and failure scenarios.
4. Reload the task while active, waiting, failed, and settled.
5. On the old implementation, observe stale run authority, missing
classifications, incomplete output, or duplicated/folded replies.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The repair is based directly on `master` at
`87d05e194b643810d16d20612115acd01d735d43`.
**Deployment mode**
Local development with the embedded database.
Related work: Refs #12616, #12646, #12666, #12685, and #12700.
## What Changed
- Rotates PRP control-plane, outbox, ticket, lease, command, receipt,
and sequence authority for each heartbeat while carrying forward only a
validated provider-session identity.
- Reads `control-plane-state.json`, validates both durable schemas and
lifecycle values, resumes coherent current runs, archives qualified
settled authority, and quarantines malformed or mismatched scoped state
without moving ambiguous live legacy state.
- Preserves Codex provider phase and stable item identities so
commentary remains progress and only `final_answer` becomes final.
- Adds raw OpenCode HTTP/SSE boundary coverage and canonical reasoning
lifecycle mapping.
- Makes ACPX normalization lossless for visible reasoning, tool
lifecycle metadata, stable bounded identities, Plan revisions,
structured requests, failures, and qualified process replacement. Only
the compatible terminal assistant message is promoted as final.
- Applies schema-aware redaction before generic JWT-shaped detection and
scans every diagnostic string leaf. Malformed raw/escaped quoted
credential tails are redacted in both server and durable Rust state.
- Restores snapshot-style chronological task presentation, expandable
tool activity, inline Plan cards, visible waiting/resume/cancel/failure
states, and exactly one final answer.
- Makes `never` the only qualified native Codex permission mode and
rejects unsupported persisted native modes with remediation. OpenCode
and ACPX policies remain intact.
- Keeps the unified experimental Runner setting as the only enablement
flag. Onboarding and direct Codex, Claude, and OpenCode stay on their
legacy execution/finalization paths.
- Adds cross-language goldens, authority/recovery/fault coverage, exact
response/count assertions, and native plus legacy acceptance scenarios.
## Verification
- Pull-request GitHub Actions run Rust formatting/tests, TypeScript
checks, server/UI tests, builds, protocol drift checks, browser E2E, and
security scans.
- A separate workflow-only validation ref is pinned directly on this PR
head and runs the 35-cell paid local matrix: three core scenarios plus
structured-question resume and restart/resume for native Codex, native
OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, and direct Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
Run: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
- Acceptance requires exact single visible replies, monotonic sequences,
matching envelope discriminators, one semantic terminal, one run
terminal, no unresolved interaction, no duplicate mutation, no secret
leakage, provider continuity, and zero native rows for direct adapters.
- Per maintainer direction, tests are running in GitHub Actions rather
than on the slower local host. Only formatters and static diff checks
were run locally.
## Risks
- Recovery from old or partial filesystem state is sensitive. The repair
fails closed, preserves active or unverifiable authority, and
quarantines only state whose scoped ownership is safe to move.
- Provider event formats can change. Closed validators and boundary
goldens turn new or malformed events into visible diagnostics instead of
silent drops.
- Shared task presentation could affect direct adapters. Runtime-fact
gating plus the direct-adapter matrix protect the existing path.
- Managed and remote providers are not qualified here. Shared code
continues to compile and fail safely, but live qualification is
deferred.

## Model Used
OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact deployed snapshot and
context-window size are not exposed to this task. It used agentic
reasoning, repository inspection, code editing, Git, parallel subagents,
and GitHub Actions.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI-agent companies.
> - Agent outputs must remain visible after a run and easy to inspect
from a task.
> - The thread and artifact inventory need one consistent rich-card
vocabulary.
> - Run uploads also need durable artifact registration and
producing-run context.
> - Reviewers need deterministic examples for each rich-card kind and
state.
> - This pull request adds the shared presentation, registration,
inventory, and Storybook review coverage.
> - The benefit is a complete output path that reviewers can inspect
without seeded data.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This change improves work-product presentation in task threads and the
task Artifacts tab.
**Subsystem affected**
The change affects shared work-product contracts, the runner diff path,
server attachment and work-product services, GitHub metadata refresh,
the React board UI, and Storybook.
**Current behavior**
The thread used generic cards. Some files uploaded by a run existed only
as message attachments. The Artifacts tab showed a flat list without run
context or filters. Storybook showed only one resting card per kind.
**Proposed behavior**
The thread uses rich cards for supported work-product types. Each
run-produced file registers one attachment-backed artifact work product.
The Artifacts tab groups outputs by run and supports filters. Storybook
shows every kind and requested state, PR lifecycle states, stats
variants, truncation, mobile layout, and message-tail media.
**Reason and benefit**
Users can identify outputs quickly. Reviewers can inspect all card
permutations without creating task data.
**Breaking changes**
None. The metadata fields and automatic artifact registration are
additive. Existing attachments and work products keep their current
behavior.
## What Changed
- Added a shared rich work-product card with kind-specific content and a
compact inventory variant.
- Added pull-request and commit diff metadata plus bounded GitHub state
refresh.
- Added media strips and typed file chips to message-tail attachments.
- Registered each run-produced attachment as an artifact work product in
the same server transaction.
- Grouped task artifacts by run with agent and timestamp headings.
- Added type and run filters, image thumbnails, compact cards, and a
company Artifacts link.
- Added a Storybook kind-by-state matrix with stats variants for all
eight visual kinds.
- Added PR open, draft, merged, and closed examples, long-title
truncation, an exact 375-pixel viewport, and message-tail overflow
coverage.
- Closed reconciled runtime work products when the linked runtime stops
or disappears, so the card shows `Stopped` instead of `Unhealthy`.
### Screenshots
Before: one resting card per kind.
After: the kind and state matrix.
After: message-tail media at 375 pixels.

## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook` passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/work-product-runtime-reconciliation.test.ts` passed

- Chromium visual checks passed at desktop and 375-pixel widths.
- All 30 latest-head GitHub checks passed. One unrelated annotation test
was flaky and passed on its single retry.
- Greptile passed at 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Low risk. The Storybook change adds review fixtures only. The runtime
fix changes read-time reconciliation without database writes.
- The matrix is intentionally large so every permutation stays visible
in one review surface.

Takes the four tenant onboarding steps to the design, and makes the model
choice explicit.
**Nothing is preselected on the connect step.** It arrived with a source
already chosen, which made the row read as a confirmation rather than a
question and let a customer pass the step having touched none of it. The
step now opens unanswered and cannot advance until a source is selected in
the visible row.
Two defects fell out of that, both found by Greptile in review:
- A saved draft can name an adapter the row does not show — one the registry
dropped, or one in the advanced list. The gate asked `sourcePicked`, which
only means "a draft named something", so Next stayed live on a step that
had visibly asked nothing and would hire against the hidden name. It now
asks `sourceSelected`, read off the visible row, and the snap that replaces
an unofferable adapter clears the pick rather than presenting its
replacement as chosen.
- Cmd+Enter bypassed that gate entirely, because the condition was written
out twice and drifted. Both paths now ask one predicate.
Also: selection is a fill rather than a border; the input canvas opens only
for a chosen source; the close control is gone from every step (nothing
downstream of the connect step works until a model is connected); the arc
draws to the design's 424px column with a filled 44px name field; the CTA
reads "Next" through the arc and "Get started" at the end; the login spinner
reads "Preparing..."; the OAuth panels number their fields and show the URL
above the code.
Storybook: the arc stories waited for a button named "Connect" and had been
silently rendering the wrong step since the CTA was renamed. They now wait on
the destination heading. Three e2e specs had the same fault and now select a
source before advancing.
One test was removed rather than replaced — `hydrates again when the same
company comes back through onboarding` drove the close control, and three
substitutes each passed against a wizard with the behaviour deleted. The
reason is recorded where it stood.
Known and not fixed here: SidebarCompanyMenu opens the wizard at step 1 for
"create a new organization", and with no exit an existing user who changes
their mind is trapped.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps subsystem gives humans and agents governed access to
external tools.
> - The current connection flow hides Apps behind an experimental gate
and repeats setup text.
> - Google sharing choices and generic MCP permissions do not use one
consistent opening model.
> - Self-hosted installs also need a safe default origin for managed
OAuth without a manual config file.
> - This pull request makes Apps available, simplifies connection setup,
and applies one governed permissions model.
> - The benefit is a shorter connection flow that works on a clean
self-hosted install.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
This improves the Apps connection setup flow, managed Google connection
flow, generic MCP connection flow, navigation, and runtime origin
discovery.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting. This changes `ui/`, `server/`, `packages/shared/`,
connector documentation, and browser tests.
**Current behavior**
Apps require an experimental switch. Setup pages repeat titles and
explanatory copy. Connection names require manual input. Google
credential sharing does not always offer both personal and organization
access. Generic MCP providers do not start with the same permission
choices. Managed OAuth needs a public URL setting even when the request
already has a safe HTTPS origin.
**Proposed behavior**
Apps are available by default. Setup asks only for required permissions
and sharing choices. Paperclip creates conflict-free connection names.
Google apps and generic MCP providers use the same human and agent
access model. Managed OAuth derives a validated same-origin HTTPS URL
when no explicit public URL is set.
**Reason and benefit**
A clean self-hosted install can connect a managed Google app without
hidden setup. Humans can share a service account with their
organization. The shorter flow reduces duplicated choices and setup
errors.
**Breaking changes**
The Apps experimental switch is removed. Existing connection APIs remain
compatible. New connections can receive a numeric suffix when a name
already exists.
No duplicate or related public issue was found.
## What Changed
- Removed the Apps experimental gate and the breadcrumb that leaves the
Apps section.
- Simplified all connection setup pages and moved optional provider
requirements into one small link.
- Added consistent human and agent access choices for Google apps,
Zapier, and generic MCP connections.
- Added organization sharing to Google Workspace credentials while
keeping personal access available.
- Generated connection names automatically and resolved name conflicts
with numeric suffixes.
- Derived a validated public HTTPS origin from the request for
config-free managed OAuth.
- Updated connector contracts, tests, browser coverage, and authoring
documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts` (273 passed)
- Targeted UI/service regression suite (308 passed)
- Six targeted Playwright connection journeys on a fresh onboarding
instance (6 passed)
- Fresh-install browser proof through Tailscale HTTPS: enrolled with
Paperclip Cloud, connected managed Google Drive, and completed a real
read operation.
- [Exact-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33669760711):
all 23 matrix jobs passed, including build, typecheck, server,
serialized, canary, and all browser shards.
- Greptile 5/5 on `0ae2a859f269984ee950d0af231a5b09a06f3dfd`, with no
unresolved review threads.
## Risks
Apps are now visible to all operators. The removed experimental flag no
longer hides unfinished app definitions. Managed Google availability
still depends on the Cloud profile rollout and active instance
enrollment. Automatic conflict handling changes only the display name of
a newly conflicting connection.
> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). MCP Tool Gateway and Apps are
shipped. Connected Apps is planned, and this change improves the
existing shipped connection flow.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with reasoning, browser control, tool use, and code
execution.
