+### Installed API-key acceptance — 2026-10-14
+
+The full frozen package campaign [38610086180](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38610086180)
+passed all four native producers and clean consumers, including default installed
+Claude authority on Apple Silicon, Intel Mac and Linux ARM64. Linux x64 passed
+its existing clean public-install controls; that lane does not separately run
+the Claude authority probe. Runtime source remains
+`2646b94533bac1eae0d30b11d3774b104eeaf981`. Behavior `06258a283c` and platforms
+`bddff3c5e9` have green CI and 5/5 reviews, with executable comment equivalence
+recorded above. Subsequent evidence or packaging-tooling edits do not relabel
+these runtime bytes.
+
+The retained preview now runs that installed package at http://127.0.0.1:3115,
+with no JavaScript overlays, daemon overrides, development provider pack or
+ambient provider credentials. Native Runner experiment and timer heartbeats
+are disabled. The compiled server identity is 2646b94533; the health page's Git
+context reports checkout 06258a283c. Both identities are recorded. The old data
+has a private cold backup. Normal embedded-Postgres symlink hydration and a
+QA-local dangling Claude CLI link were repaired; the system CLI was unchanged.
+
+Ordinary browser onboarding selected Claude Code and its saved personal API-key
+connection, left runner/model defaults intact, and saved native Claude/Opus 5.5.
+One useful task and its revision succeeded after a controlled controller restart.
+Independent downloads matched 160 and 214 byte oracles, and the original remained
+available after reload. Task, provider and backend sessions were identical across
+turns; High effort was requested and acknowledged in both. API usage settled at
+$0.183214600 and $0.287600400 estimated rate-card cost, not invoice charges.
+Report: `/private/tmp/claude-2646-mac-api-acceptance.json`.
+Preview: http://127.0.0.1:3115/CLAAAAAA/issues/CLAAAAAA-2.
+
+Linux ARM64 also passed a fresh API-key task/revision on the installed SSH host,
+using ordinary API creation with neither runner nor model overrides. The current
+pack was discovered at its standard host location, not an explicit development
+path; its source/digest and staged ARM daemon matched the frozen release.
+Independent files matched 156 and 203 bytes, all three sessions persisted, and
+High effort was acknowledged before both turns. Settled estimates are
+$0.209004800 and $0.128238000. The old SSH port had reached an interactive
+Tailscale login; the isolated fixture uses the authorized key on port 22222.

+
+These four turns used the existing healthy $2 company cap, serialized with timer
+heartbeats disabled. After both Mac turns settled below 30 cents each, its
+per-turn reservation changed from $1 to $0.50 while the $2 hard cap and unknown-
+usage blocking remained intact. Historical failed records/holds and the separate
+setup reservation remain preserved. No automatic paid retries were enabled.
+The next x64 attempt was rejected before provider startup because its independently
+rebuilt image pack differed from the npm release authority; its failed record
+and pending accounting hold are retained. Cloud image alignment is the next gate.
+Subscription follow-up remains unverified; remaining live acceptance uses API
+keys per human steering. No local Docker or Rust build ran. Merge and production
+deployment remain separate.
