## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists. Description per the bug template:
**What happened?**
Every `grok_local` run on Grok CLI 1.0.x stops on its first tool call.
The stream shows the tool call move from `pending` to `failed` with
"User cancelled the execution for tool `run_terminal_command`", and the
session ends with `stopReason: "cancelled"` after one turn. The CLI
exits 0, so Paperclip records the run as succeeded with no work done,
and the issue lands in missing-disposition recovery.
**Expected behavior**
Unattended runs must auto-approve tool executions. The adapter already
passes `--always-approve` for this.
**Steps to reproduce**
In a clean Linux environment with Grok CLI 1.0.3 and `XAI_API_KEY` set,
run the adapter's exact invocation shape:
`grok --output-format streaming-json --permission-mode dontAsk
--always-approve --disable-web-search --single "Run the shell command:
echo ok"`
The tool call is denied. Drop `--permission-mode dontAsk` (or use
`--permission-mode bypassPermissions`) and the same command executes the
tool. On Grok 0.2.x the original combination worked because the CLI
accepted `dontAsk` without enforcing it; the 0.2.39 embedded docs state
the flag takes effect only for `bypassPermissions` / always-approve.
**Paperclip version or commit**
master (917d2350f)
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.ts`: `permissionMode`
no longer defaults to `dontAsk`. The adapter passes no
`--permission-mode` flag unless one is explicitly configured.
`--always-approve` (default on) remains the unattended policy.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/index.ts`: config doc updated to
explain the new default and the Grok 1.0 semantics.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`:
default-args assertion now requires the absence of `--permission-mode`;
new test covers explicit `permissionMode` pass-through.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run packages/adapters/grok-local` — 7 files, 29 tests, all
pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local typecheck` — clean.
- Live matrix against Grok CLI 1.0.3 in a clean sandbox: `dontAsk
--always-approve` denies the first tool call; `--always-approve` alone
executes it; `bypassPermissions --always-approve` executes it; `dontAsk`
alone denies it.
## Risks
- Low risk. Operators who explicitly set `permissionMode` keep their
value verbatim. Only the implicit default changes, and the old default
is what breaks every run on current Grok CLI releases.
- On Grok 0.2.x the flag was unenforced, so omitting it does not change
behavior there.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #2734
Refs #11727
Refs #739
## What Changed
- Require Node.js 24.11.0 or newer in all 42 package manifests and
runtime checks.
- Use Node.js 24 in GitHub Actions, Docker images, smoke images, sandbox
setup, portable installs, and esbuild targets.
- Align every direct `@types/node` declaration on `^24.0.0`.
- Prevent Dependabot from opening major `@types/node` upgrades without a
matching runtime decision.
- Add `.nvmrc` and a CI policy check for Node version drift.
- Update ACP version gates, tests, and user documentation for the new
minimum.
- Print a non-blocking warning on CLI and server startup when Node is
unsupported, with remediation through a version manager or the
documented downloaded `install.sh` workflow.
- Deduplicate that warning when `paperclipai run` boots the CLI and
server in the same process.
## Verification
- `node scripts/check-node-version-policy.mjs`
- `node --check scripts/check-node-version-policy.mjs`
- `node --check cli/esbuild.config.mjs`
- `node --check scripts/generate-npm-package-json.mjs`
- `bash -n scripts/install.sh scripts/test-install-sh-docker.sh
scripts/e2e-install-lifecycle.sh`
- Parsed all 42 package manifests and confirmed `engines.node` is
`>=24.11.0`.
- `git diff --check`
- `vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-install-command.test.ts` passed with
3 tests.
- `vitest run cli/src/node-version.test.ts` passed with 4 tests.
- Directly exercised the shared warning helper for unsupported-version
messaging and same-process deduplication.
- The focused exe.dev suite could not resolve the locally unbuilt plugin
SDK from this isolated worktree. A full offline workspace install was
also blocked because the package-manager signature verifier requires
registry access. The full suite was not run locally; draft CI performs a
clean install and evaluates the wider impact.
## Risks
- This is a breaking runtime change for users, plugins, and deployments
that still use Node.js 20 or 22.
- Published workspace packages will now produce an engine warning or
failure in strict package managers on older Node.js releases.
- Node.js 24 can reveal dependency, native module, Playwright, or agent
CLI compatibility issues in CI.
- The bootstrap installer now installs Node.js 24 when the current
runtime is older than 24.11.0.
- The portable sandbox fallback is pinned to Node.js 24.11.0 and depends
on that upstream tarball remaining available.
- Unsupported runtimes continue booting after a warning, so a later
incompatibility can still fail at its point of use.
- The CLI and server share the warning policy through the published
`@paperclipai/shared` package; packaging checks must keep that subpath
export available.
- This PR does not commit `pnpm-lock.yaml` because repository policy
assigns lockfile generation to CI.

## Thinking Path

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #10433
**What happened?**
The Grok local usage and cost test asserted subscription billing while
it still used the ambient process environment. If `XAI_API_KEY` was set
before the test ran, the adapter selected API billing instead. The
subscription assertion could then fail on a developer machine or a CI
runner with provider credentials.
**Expected behavior**
The test should prove the subscription path with no `XAI_API_KEY`. It
should also prove the API billing path with a test key.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start from `master` after #10433.
2. Set `XAI_API_KEY` in the shell environment.
3. Run `vitest` for
`packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`.
4. Observe that the subscription half can take the API billing branch
without test isolation.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` after #10433.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source.
## What Changed
- Isolated `XAI_API_KEY` with save, delete, set, and restore logic
around both billing assertions.
- Gave the subscription and API billing checks separate run ids and temp
roots.
## Verification
- `XAI_API_KEY=ambient-test-key corepack pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local typecheck`
## Risks
Low risk. This changes test setup only. It does not change Grok local
adapter runtime behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Cost/usage tracking is core to that: the dashboard shows per-agent
spend so a team can see what their AI workforce is costing them
> - The `grok_local` adapter (xAI's Grok Build CLI) is a newer adapter
than `claude_local`/`codex_local`, and its usage/cost wiring was left
incomplete
> - Every `grok_local` run persists
`usage.inputTokens/outputTokens/cachedInputTokens = 0` and `costUsd =
null` in `heartbeat_runs`, unconditionally, even though the underlying
`grok` CLI reports real, non-zero token counts and cost per turn in its
own JSON stream
> - This pull request wires the parser to actually read
`usage`/`total_cost_usd` from the CLI's terminal `end` event, threads
those values into the adapter's execution result, and marks them
`usageBasis: "per_run"` so the heartbeat service doesn't incorrectly
delta them against a prior run on a resumed session (matching how
`claude_local`/`codex_local` already do this)
> - The benefit is accurate cost/usage visibility for any self-hosted
Paperclip instance running Grok Build agents, instead of a dashboard
that always reads zero
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Fixes: #10432
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/parse.ts`: `parseGrokJsonl()`
now reads `usage.input_tokens` / `usage.output_tokens` /
`usage.cache_read_input_tokens` / `total_cost_usd` from the terminal
`end` event and returns them on `ParsedGrokJsonl` (previously discarded
entirely).
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.ts`: `toResult()` now
populates `usage.inputTokens/outputTokens/cachedInputTokens` from the
parsed values instead of hardcoded `0`, sets `usageBasis: "per_run"`
(each `--single` invocation reports usage for just that process, not a
running session total), and surfaces `costUsd` only when `billingType
=== "api"` (metered) — subscription/OAuth billing has no marginal dollar
cost, so it stays `null` there, but token counts are populated for both
billing types since usage visibility is useful regardless of billing
model.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/parse.test.ts`: added a test
asserting usage/cost extraction from a representative `end` event
payload, and updated the existing exact-equality test for the new
fields.
- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts`: added a
test covering both subscription billing (tokens populated, `costUsd:
null`) and API-key billing (tokens populated, real `costUsd`), and
asserting `usageBasis: "per_run"` in both cases.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/parse.test.ts
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/execute.test.ts` — 9/9 passed
- `tsc --noEmit` on the `grok-local` package — clean
- Verified against a real self-hosted Paperclip instance running `grok`
CLI `0.2.112` with SuperGrok subscription (OAuth) auth: confirmed the
raw CLI stream reports real `usage`/`total_cost_usd` (e.g.
`"usage":{"input_tokens":21560,...},"total_cost_usd":0.0564448`) that
was previously discarded before ever reaching
`heartbeat_runs.usage_json`, which always showed all-zero tokens
regardless of real usage.
## Risks
- Low risk, additive change scoped entirely to the `grok_local`
adapter's usage/cost reporting path — no change to control flow, session
handling, or process execution.
- `usageBasis: "per_run"` mirrors the existing, already-tested pattern
in `claude_local`/`codex_local` execute paths, so the heartbeat
service's per-run vs. session-cumulative delta logic is exercised the
same way.
- `costUsd` is intentionally left `null` for subscription/OAuth billing
(no behavior change there beyond now-populated token counts) to avoid
implying a dollar cost that doesn't exist for flat-rate billing.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 5 (`claude-sonnet-5`), via Claude Code, no extended
thinking. Root cause was found by comparing real `grok` CLI JSON stream
output (captured directly from a live invocation) against the persisted
`heartbeat_runs.usage_json` row for the same run on a self-hosted
instance, then reading `parse.ts`/`execute.ts` source to confirm the
hardcoded zero values.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The agent Test action dropped a user-scoped env binding in create mode.
The same agent config worked in a real run. Related public PRs: #10115,
#9321, #9921, #8825.
**Expected behavior**
The Test action should keep user-scoped env bindings and resolve them
like a real run.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Set a user-scoped env binding on an agent config form.
2. Run Test in create mode.
3. The probe runs without the variable.
**Paperclip version or commit**

**Deployment mode**
Local dev (pnpm dev)
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug)
**Database mode**
Embedded PGlite (default — DATABASE_URL unset)
**Additional context**
This change is not Claude-specific.
## What Changed
- Added a shared env binding parser in `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`.
- Replaced the eight adapter build-config copies with the shared helper.
- Kept `plain`, `secret_ref`, and `user_secret_ref` bindings intact in
create mode and edit mode.
- Preserved the runtime merge behavior from the earlier env merge
change.
## Verification
- Author-recorded test run:
`packages/adapter-utils/src/env-bindings.test.ts`
- Author-recorded test run:
`packages/adapters/claude-local/src/ui/build-config.test.ts`
- Author-recorded test run: six adapter build-config test files
- Author-recorded typecheck: `tsc --noEmit` for adapter-utils and the
eight adapter packages
- GitHub checks: all required PR checks pass on PR #10926.
- Greptile review: 5/5 with no open comments.
## Risks
- The change touches adapter config assembly.
- A wrong binding shape would change test-time probe input.
- Tests cover the binding types and the create-mode path.

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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter names are part of the board-facing agent setup and
management experience.
> - The product now treats adapters as harnesses, while execution
environments are modeled separately.
> - Several built-in adapter labels still carried legacy local wording
from the older harness-by-environment model.
> - That wording makes the UI noisier and implies a distinction users no
longer need to reason about.
> - This pull request normalizes adapter display labels while keeping
persisted adapter type identifiers unchanged.
> - The benefit is clearer adapter selection and management copy without
a database migration.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue was found for this exact cleanup.
Related public PRs:
- Supersedes #8910, an earlier branch for the same cleanup that did not
include the later docs/gateway/Cursor alignment.
- Refs #8819, which is related display-registry work for external
multi-segment adapter labels, but not a duplicate of this built-in label
cleanup.
Feature request details:
- Subsystem affected: Cross-cutting (`ui/`, `packages/adapters`, and
docs).
- Problem or motivation: user-facing adapter names include legacy local
qualifiers even though adapters map to harnesses and environments are
first-class elsewhere.
- Proposed solution: remove the legacy local wording from built-in
display labels, keep machine-readable adapter type ids unchanged, and
keep gateway disambiguation where it is useful.
- Alternatives considered: changing persisted adapter type ids was ruled
out because it would create migration and compatibility risk; one-off UI
replacements were ruled out because the display registry is already the
correct central label boundary.
- Roadmap alignment: this is small adapter UX polish, not a new
roadmap-level core feature.
## What Changed
- Updated the adapter display registry so known adapter labels are final
and no built-in local adapter renders a legacy local suffix.
- Preserved clean derived labels for unknown plugin local types while
keeping gateway disambiguation for unknown gateway types.
- Updated `AdapterManager` to prefer registry labels when the server
reports raw adapter type ids for built-ins.
- Removed legacy local wording from built-in adapter metadata labels in
UI and adapter packages.
- Aligned Cursor adapter metadata with the central display registry
label.
- Updated adapter docs and Storybook fixtures to match the new display
names.
- Added focused registry coverage for built-in labels and unknown plugin
suffix behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:tokens`
- `git diff --check origin/master...fix/adapter-display-labels`
- Patch-addition scan for added secrets, private paths, and internal
links: no matches.
- GitHub duplicate search for open adapter-label/local-suffix issues and
PRs; #8910 was identified as the older superseded public PR.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/adapters/adapter-display-registry.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- Stale-label scan found no remaining user-facing display-label
suffixes; remaining local wording is operational/test terminology such
as adapter ids, docs about running locally, and test descriptions.
## Risks
Low risk. The change is display-label and documentation focused, and
adapter type ids remain unchanged. The main risk is ambiguous gateway
naming, mitigated by keeping explicit gateway labels where variants need
disambiguation.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex, tool-enabled coding agent in a local repository
workspace. Context window size is not exposed by this environment.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandboxed agent runs can spend meaningful time preparing a remote
workspace before the agent transcript shows useful output.
> - Operators need short, current progress text for those setup phases,
but that text should not become durable run history.
> - The existing live-run websocket path already carries run updates to
the UI, so the backend can reuse that channel instead of adding polling.
> - This pull request adds an ephemeral runtime-progress contract, a
process-local status store, and heartbeat integration for
sandbox-managed runs.
> - The benefit is a clearer active-run experience without database
migrations or persistent progress rows.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #248
No exact public GitHub issue was found for this status-message plumbing.
The underlying problem is that active sandboxed runs currently have
setup phases, such as workspace sync and restore, where the operator
cannot see concise current progress through the live run state. This PR
addresses that gap for the backend/runtime layer while keeping progress
messages ephemeral.
GitHub search performed for related or duplicate work: `sandbox runtime
status`, `sandbox restore index`, and `runtime progress`. No direct
duplicate PR was found.
## What Changed
- Added shared runtime-progress types and the `heartbeat.run.progress`
live event type.
- Added a process-local heartbeat run runtime-status store with TTL,
bounded/redacted messages, and terminal cleanup.
- Threaded runtime progress callbacks through heartbeat execution and
active/live run serialization.
- Emitted sandbox-managed runtime phase updates for sync, adapter
startup, restore/export, and finalization paths.
- Added backend and adapter-utils tests for ephemeral status behavior,
terminal cleanup, live serialization, and sandbox progress callbacks.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- Local PII scan before push: high-confidence secret patterns, internal
issue links, local user paths, and private URL patterns checked across
all three split diffs; no real secrets or internal links found. The only
secret-like text is an intentional fake test fixture (`sk-test-secret`).
- `git diff --check origin/master..feat/sandbox-runtime-status`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/heartbeat-run-runtime-status.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-state.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agent-live-run-routes.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts` — 4 files,
23 tests passed.
- `pnpm run typecheck` passed on both top stacks that include this
branch: `feat/sandbox-status-ui` and `fix/sandbox-restore-index-sync`.
- `pnpm run build` passed on both top stacks that include this branch;
Vite reported existing CSS `::highlight` and chunk-size warnings.
- `pnpm run test:run` was attempted on `fix/sandbox-restore-index-sync`;
it failed in two unrelated broad-suite tests. One depends on this host's
Git default branch behavior, and one depends on local Claude
model-discovery environment. The changed focused suites above pass.
## Risks
- Runtime progress is process-local by design, so status disappears
after TTL, terminal cleanup, or server restart.
- Clients that do not consume `heartbeat.run.progress` simply keep
existing behavior.
- Message redaction is intentionally generic; overly specific phase
details should stay out of runtime-progress payloads.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for running AI-agent companies, so
long-running remote work needs to stay observable to human operators.
> - Cloud / sandbox agents are an active roadmap area, and their
workspace sync path is part of the runtime substrate every remote coding
run depends on.
> - In the sandbox and SSH execution-target flows, Paperclip logged that
sync had started, then often went silent for the full transfer window.
> - That made large remote syncs feel stalled and also hid a real
performance problem in the command-managed sandbox upload path.
> - The first part of this pull request threads a throttled
progress-reporting surface through the adapter execution-target stack so
sync and restore work can emit meaningful updates.
> - The second part fixes the command-managed sandbox transport itself:
it removes the old serial 32KB append bottleneck, but also falls back
away from the single-stream path when a provider-backed sandbox runner
cannot surface mid-flight stdin progress.
> - The result is that sandbox and SSH transfers are both faster and
more observable, including the live Daytona-style sandbox case that
previously only emitted `0%` and `100%`.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this bug, so it is described inline
below following the bug report template.
### What happened
- Remote sandbox and SSH workspace syncs could spend a long time
transferring data while only logging a start line (`Syncing workspace
and runtime assets to sandbox environment`) and, at best, a terminal
line.
- In the command-managed sandbox path, the original upload
implementation also paid a large performance cost by appending base64
data in many small sequential remote writes (thousands of serial 32KB
round-trips on a large workspace).
- After the initial transport rewrite, live provider-backed sandbox runs
still only emitted `0%` and `100%` because the single-stream stdin RPC
buffered progress until completion.
### Expected behavior
- Long-running sandbox and SSH syncs should periodically report how much
of the transfer is complete (a percentage and/or MB transferred) so an
operator can tell the run is healthy and making progress rather than
stuck.
- The main sandbox upload path should not be artificially slow.
- A transfer that fails partway should leave an explicit failure marker
in the log rather than a dangling intermediate percentage.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Run an agent against a sandbox (command-managed) or SSH
(remote-managed) execution target with a non-trivial workspace.
2. Watch the run log during the workspace/runtime asset sync phase.
3. Observe that the log shows the sync start line and then stays silent
for the full transfer (live provider-backed sandbox runs only show `0%`
then `100%`).
### Paperclip version or commit
- Branch `PAPA-825-provide-status-updates-when-syncing-sandboxes` off
`master`.
### Deployment mode
- Self-hosted / local instance using sandbox (command-managed) and SSH
(remote-managed) execution targets, including provider-backed sandbox
runners.
## What Changed
- Added shared throttled runtime progress reporting and threaded
`onProgress` through the adapter execution-target surface and adapter
`execute.ts` entrypoints.
- Added sync and restore progress reporting for the command-managed
sandbox path and the SSH/remote-managed path, including git
import/export progress where totals are known.
- Reworked command-managed sandbox transfer behavior so uploads use the
faster single-stream path when appropriate, but fall back to chunked
progress-emitting writes when the runner cannot expose mid-stream stdin
progress.
- Marked provider-backed environment sandbox runners as not supporting
single-stream stdin progress so live sandbox runs emit meaningful
intermediate updates instead of only `0%` and `100%`.
- Emit an explicit terminal failure marker (`failed at NN% (x/y MB)`)
when an SSH/tar transfer rejects, so a failed sync no longer leaves a
dangling intermediate percentage in the log.
- Run the SSH sync/restore size estimate (local directory walk / remote
`du` probe) concurrently with the transfer instead of awaiting it before
opening the pipe, so progress instrumentation no longer adds startup
latency proportional to workspace file count.
- Added and extended focused regression coverage for runtime progress
throttling and the new failure marker, command-managed sandbox
transfers, sandbox orchestration, SSH transfer progress, and environment
execution-target wiring.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/runtime-progress.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh-fixture.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/command-managed-runtime.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/command-managed-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`
- `npx tsc --noEmit` for `packages/adapter-utils`
## Risks
- The provider-backed sandbox fallback now prefers chunked
command-managed writes when progress hooks are active, so
small-to-medium uploads may trade some raw throughput for observable
intermediate progress on runtimes that cannot surface true mid-stream
stdin progress.
- Progress percentages on tar-based transfers still depend on estimates
in some cases, so operators may briefly see MB-only lines before the
estimate resolves, then near-final clamping before the terminal `100%`
line.
- This PR changes shared execution-target behavior used by multiple
adapters, so regressions would most likely appear in remote runtime
setup/teardown flows rather than in a single adapter.
## Model Used
- Initial implementation: OpenAI GPT-5.4 via Codex local agent
(`codex_local`), high reasoning mode.
- Observability follow-ups (failure marker, concurrent size estimate,
added tests): Claude Opus 4.8 via Claude Code (`claude_local`).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies through
company-scoped control-plane workflows.
> - Agents need reusable, inspectable skills that can be installed,
reset, audited, exported, and assigned without bespoke local setup.
> - The existing skill truth model needed cleanup so bundled skills,
optional catalog skills, runtime skills, and adapter-provided skills
have clear provenance.
> - Operators also need a practical CLI and board UI for discovering and
managing company skills.
> - This pull request adds the skills CLI, packaged skills catalog,
company skills APIs, and catalog-aware board UI.
> - The benefit is a more reusable Paperclip company setup where skills
are portable, auditable, and easier for operators and agents to manage.
## What Changed
- Added `paperclipai skills` CLI commands and coverage for catalog
listing, installing, resetting, and inspecting company skills.
- Added a packaged `@paperclipai/skills-catalog` workspace with bundled
and optional skill content plus validation/build tests.
- Added shared company-skill types and validators used across CLI,
server, and UI contracts.
- Added server catalog APIs/services for company skill catalog
operations, reset semantics, audit behavior, and portability provenance.
- Updated adapter skill handling so runtime/catalog provenance remains
explicit across local adapters.
- Added board UI support for browsing and managing catalog-backed
company skills.
- Updated docs for the skills CLI/catalog flow and the company skills
Paperclip skill reference.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master`; no
`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `.github/workflows`, or migration files are included
in the final PR diff.
## Verification
- Passed: `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/skills.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/catalog-builder.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/shipped-catalog.test.ts

server/src/__tests__/company-skills-catalog-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts`.
- Passed: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "default
branch|origin/master|symbolic-ref"`.
- Attempted: full `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`. Four
provisioning tests failed while seeding an isolated worktree database
from the local Paperclip instance because the local plugin schema dump
contains a duplicate-column foreign key
(`plugin_content_machine_18a7bc327b.content_case_signals`). The
default-branch tests touched by the rebase conflict passed in the
focused run above.
- Checked final diff: no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no `.github/workflows`, and
no migration-file changes relative to `master`.
## Risks
- Medium: this is a broad skills/catalog change touching CLI, server
APIs, shared contracts, adapter skill sync, and UI.
- Catalog validation and reset semantics need careful reviewer attention
because they affect reusable company setup and portability.
- No database migrations are included in this PR, so there is no
migration ordering/idempotency risk in the final diff.
- No lockfile is included by design; dependency resolution will be
handled by the repository lockfile workflow.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, running in Paperclip via the
`codex_local` adapter with shell, git, GitHub CLI, and code-editing tool
access. Exact hosted model build/context-window metadata is not exposed
in this runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The `grok-local` adapter streams reasoning text to the issue
"Working..." panel as the grok CLI runs
> - The `grok` CLI's `--output-format streaming-json` mode silently
drops the `\n` separator between reasoning turns around tool calls
> - Consecutive `thought` chunks (e.g. `` "`" `` followed by `"The"`)
arrive with no intervening whitespace event, so the UI's `delta: true`
concatenator merged them into run-on text like `"…planningGreat, now I
have the issue descriptionThe only co"`
> - This PR adds a small turn-boundary helper that detects sentence
boundaries in the upstream `thought` stream and inserts a single `\n`
only when the previous chunk ended with sentence punctuation (or a
balanced closing backtick) AND the next chunk begins a new uppercase
sentence
> - The benefit is readable streaming reasoning in the UI without
changing how completed messages are stored
## What Changed
- Added `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/shared/turn-boundary.ts` with
per-stream state (last chunk + backtick parity) and a
`restoreTurnBoundary()` helper that inserts `\n` only between balanced,
sentence-terminated `thought` chunks
- Wired the helper into `parseGrokJsonl` (server) and added a new
`createGrokStdoutParser` factory used by `grokLocalUIAdapter` for the
live "Working..." panel
- Added focused tests in `shared/turn-boundary.test.ts`, plus regression
assertions in `server/parse.test.ts` and `ui/parse-stdout.test.ts`
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/grok-local test` — 23/23 adapter tests pass
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/grok-local typecheck` and UI typecheck —
clean
- Replayed an actual broken `grok 0.1.210` stream from the report;
previously-merged boundaries (`` `ls`The ``, `returned:Confirmed`) now
render with a separating newline; chunks inside un-closed backtick spans
are left alone
## Risks
- Low risk. Boundary insertion only fires when prev ends with
`.`/`!`/`?`/balanced `` ` `` and next begins with an uppercase ≥2-char
word, with no whitespace on either side. Worst case: a rare missed split
or a misplaced newline inside reasoning — both purely cosmetic and
confined to the live streaming panel.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, so
adapter quality directly affects what runtimes the control plane can
supervise.
> - Local CLI adapters are one of the core execution surfaces because
they turn real coding tools into Paperclip-managed employees with
heartbeats, transcripts, and reviewability.
> - Grok Build was installed on the Paperclip host, but Paperclip had no
built-in `grok_local` adapter, so the runtime could not be configured
through the normal server/UI/CLI adapter path.
> - That gap needed to be closed with the same built-in registry,
environment diagnostics, transcript parsing, and skill/instructions
behavior that the other local adapters already rely on.
> - After the initial adapter landed, a real follow-up run showed that
Grok streaming text was being rendered one fragment per line, which made
transcripts harder to read even though the runtime itself was working.
> - This pull request adds the built-in `grok_local` adapter end-to-end
and then fixes the transcript parser so streamed Grok output is
coalesced into readable assistant/thinking blocks.
> - The benefit is that Grok Build becomes a first-class Paperclip
runtime with a usable operator experience instead of a partially wired
runtime with noisy transcript output.
## What Changed
- Added a new built-in `@paperclipai/adapter-grok-local` package with
server, UI, and CLI entrypoints.
- Implemented Grok execution, session handling, environment diagnostics,
config building, skill syncing, and parser coverage inside the new
adapter package.
- Registered `grok_local` across the built-in adapter inventories and
capability/display metadata in server, UI, CLI, and shared constants.
- Added adapter route coverage for the new built-in type.
- Fixed Grok transcript readability by emitting streamed `text` and
`thought` fragments as deltas so the shared transcript builder coalesces
them into readable message blocks.
- Added regression tests for the Grok parser and transcript coalescing
behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/ui/parse-stdout.test.ts
ui/src/adapters/transcript.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local build`
- Manual runtime verification on the Paperclip host during
implementation and follow-up review:
- confirmed the Grok CLI was installed and authenticated
- confirmed the worktree dev server could be restarted cleanly and
health-checked after the parser follow-up
- No screenshots attached. This change is primarily adapter plumbing
plus transcript formatting behavior; reviewers can verify via the
Grok-backed run surfaces directly.
## Risks
- This adds a new built-in adapter, so any missed registration surface
could create inconsistencies between server, UI, and CLI behavior.
- The adapter depends on Grok Build's current event/output shape; if
upstream Grok streaming JSON changes, transcript parsing or session
extraction may need follow-up updates.
- The transcript readability fix intentionally changes how Grok
fragments are grouped, so any downstream code that implicitly expected
one entry per fragment would behave differently.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
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 via Paperclip `codex_local` agent runtime.
- GPT-5-class coding model with tool use, shell execution, file editing,
and repo inspection enabled.
- Exact backend model ID/context window were not surfaced to the agent
in this Paperclip session.
