Harold KimandPaperclip b6ad07938e docs(agent-runtime): add sandbox runtime requirements document
State the sandbox environment as a contract that the sandbox owner must
meet. Document the PATH contract, the CLI detection contract, and the firm
rule. The firm rule states that the Paperclip runtime never modifies the
login profile and never sources nvm on the exec path. Link the new document
from the agent-runtime README.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip eedc7ddef2 Make ACP the default engine for local adapters (#9238)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter packages are the bridge between the control plane and local
agent harnesses such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.
> - ACP support was concentrated in a separate `acpx_local` adapter,
which made ACP feel like a separate agent choice instead of an execution
capability of the harness adapters.
> - Claude, Codex, and Gemini now have ACP-capable harnesses, so the
native adapter should own ACP selection, fallback, config, transcript
parsing, and environment diagnostics.
> - The standalone ACPX adapter still needs a compatibility path for
existing rows, but it should not be offered as an active adapter for new
agents.
> - This pull request moves the shared ACP runtime into
`@paperclipai/acpx-engine`, wires Claude/Codex/Gemini local adapters to
prefer ACP when prerequisites are available, and retires `acpx_local` to
a tombstone.
> - The benefit is one adapter per harness, richer ACP transcripts by
default where possible, and a migration path for existing Claude/Codex
ACPX agents.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Closes #5932 — the broken default `acpx_local` Claude path is replaced
by native `claude_local` ACP support, existing Claude/Codex ACPX rows
migrate to native adapters, and new agents no longer choose the
standalone ACPX adapter.

Refs #4893 — original merged ACPX local adapter runtime that this PR
replaces with native per-harness ACP engines.
Refs #6590 — prior ACPX-Claude seamlessness work folded into the new
native Claude ACP path.
Refs #197 — related open generic ACP/Kiro adapter work; this PR does not
close it because Kiro/custom generic ACP remains a separate adapter
decision.
Refs #7018 — related Kimi-specific `acpx_local` shell failure; this PR
retires the built-in standalone adapter but does not add a native Kimi
adapter.
Refs #8864 — related ACPX prompt/API guidance PR; this PR moves runtime
guidance into the shared/native ACP engine path instead of the old
standalone adapter.
Refs #8881 — related `acpx_local` POSIX shell failure from the old
`acpx` pin; this PR updates ACP dependencies but does not claim
custom/OMP ACP support as a first-class native adapter.
Refs #8964 — related open `acpx_local` stderr cleanup PR; this PR makes
the old runtime path obsolete for new agents but keeps it as a
non-closing reference.

Problem description:

- The standalone `acpx_local` adapter duplicates Claude/Codex agent
choices that already have first-class local adapters.
- ACP should be an execution engine capability of each harness adapter
when the underlying harness supports ACP.
- Existing `acpx_local` agents should either migrate to native harness
adapters or fail with an explicit retirement message instead of silently
falling back to the process adapter.

## What Changed

- Added `@paperclipai/acpx-engine` as the shared ACP execution,
session-codec, CLI formatter, and UI parser package.
- Wired `claude_local`, `codex_local`, and `gemini_local` to auto-select
ACP by default when prerequisites pass, with `engine=cli` opt-out and
`engine=acp` strict mode.
- Added ACP config schema/UI fields, environment checks, session-codec
preservation, transcript parsing, and adapter capability metadata for
the native adapters.
- Retired `acpx_local` to a server tombstone, removed its
UI/package/runtime image surface, and added a migration for existing
Claude/Codex ACPX agents.
- Updated package manifests, lockfile, release tooling, docs, Kubernetes
sandbox defaults, and tests.

## Verification

- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/acpx-engine typecheck`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local typecheck`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/acpx-engine exec vitest run`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local exec vitest
run src/server/acp.test.ts src/server/execute.acp-fallback.test.ts

- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local exec vitest

run src/server/acp.test.ts src/ui/build-config.test.ts
src/ui/parse-stdout.test.ts`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps &&
corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/adapter-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/adapter-session-codecs.test.ts
src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/adapters/metadata.test.ts
src/adapters/adapter-display-registry.test.ts
src/components/AgentConfigForm.test.ts
src/components/AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx
src/components/transcript/RunTranscriptView.test.tsx`
- `node --test scripts/bootstrap-npm-package.test.mjs
scripts/release-package-map.test.mjs
scripts/verify-release-registry-state.test.mjs`

Note: the server typecheck script calls `pnpm` internally; this dev
shell exposes pnpm through Corepack only, so I ran the two script steps
manually with `corepack pnpm`.

## Risks

- Migration changes existing `acpx_local` Claude/Codex agents to native
adapter types and clears old ACPX task sessions/runtime state.
- Custom ACP commands remain on the retired tombstone and will need a
separate future adapter/plugin path.
- ACP auto-selection depends on local Node and ACP server command
prerequisites; remote and unsupported environments fall back to CLI
unless `engine=acp` is explicit.
- `@paperclipai/acpx-engine` is a new public package and needs npm
trusted-publishing bootstrap before release automation can publish it.

> 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 GPT-5 via Codex coding agent. Exact hosted model build and
context-window size are not exposed in this runtime. Tool use included
shell execution, repository editing, GitHub CLI operations, and local
test/typecheck execution.

Jannes StubbemannandClaude Opus 4.8 398d746093 build(agent-runtime): harness runtime images for sandboxed execution (stage 3/3) (#7934)
> [!NOTE]
> This is **stage 3 of 3** of the staged Kubernetes contribution: stage
1 is the kubernetes sandbox-provider plugin (#5790), stage 2 is the
provider backend/hardening refresh filed separately, and this stage
ships the runtime images those sandboxes run.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandboxed agent execution (Refs #248) runs each agent turn in an
isolated environment; the kubernetes sandbox provider (stage 1, #5790)
schedules those runs as hardened pods
> - A sandbox pod needs a runtime image with the harness CLI
preinstalled: installing CLIs at run start is slow, flaky, and needs
network egress the sandbox should not have
> - There is no first-party image family for this, so every deployer
would have to hand-roll Ubuntu + Node + CLI images per harness and solve
signal handling, non-root, and image chaining themselves
> - This PR ships the agent-runtime image family: a hardened base
(non-root uid 1000, tini, git, the agent shim) plus one derived image
per harness, a buildx bake file that chains them, and a publish workflow
with cosign keyless signing
> - The benefit is that any sandbox infrastructure, the kubernetes
provider or otherwise, gets ready-made, signed, security-hardened
per-harness runtime images that are verified in production across five
harnesses

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #248 (sandboxed agent execution proposal) and #5790 (the kubernetes
sandbox provider, stage 1 of this contribution, which consumes these
images as per-run runtime images via its adapter defaults).

No issue covers the image gap itself, described in-PR: sandbox providers
reference `ghcr.io/paperclipai/agent-runtime-*` images, but the
repository contains neither the Dockerfiles nor the workflow that builds
and publishes them. Without this, self-deployers cannot reproduce or
audit the images their agent runs execute in.

## What Changed

- `docker/agent-runtime/Dockerfile.base`: foundation image. Ubuntu 22.04
+ Node 22 + git + tini (PID 1, signal propagation) + non-root
`paperclip` user (uid/gid 1000) + the agent shim compiled in a Go build
stage. `WORKDIR /workspace`, entrypoint `tini -- paperclip-agent-shim`.
- One derived Dockerfile per harness: `opencode` (opencode-ai), `pi`
(@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent), `codex` (@openai/codex), `gemini`
(@google/gemini-cli, plus headless auth-mode settings), `claude`
(@anthropic-ai/claude-code, symlinked as `claude-code`). Each installs
the CLI as root, returns to uid 1000, and asserts the binary is on PATH
at build time.
- `acpx` and `hermes` Dockerfiles are included in the bake group but are
not in the default publish scope (hermes is a stub until a CLI package
exists).
- `docker/agent-runtime/buildx-bake.hcl`: builds the whole family in one
pass. Derived targets chain off the `base` target through bake
`contexts` (the literal registry in each `FROM` is overridden to
`target:base` at build time, so no intermediate push is needed).
`REGISTRY` (default `ghcr.io/paperclipai`) and `VERSION` are overridable
variables.
- `tools/agent-shim/`: a small Go shim that runs as the container
command. It reads `/run/paperclip/runtime-command.json` (`{ "command",
"args" }`), resolves the harness CLI on PATH, and `syscall.Exec`s it so
SIGTERM from the kubelet reaches the harness directly. Harness-agnostic,
with unit tests.
- `.github/workflows/agent-runtime-images.yml`: builds and pushes the
default scope (base, opencode, pi, codex, gemini, claude) for
linux/amd64 on `workflow_dispatch` (explicit version tag) or pushes to
`master` touching these paths, then signs every digest with cosign
keyless OIDC. Uses only `GITHUB_TOKEN`; no extra secrets.
- `docker/agent-runtime/README.md`: image lineup, base contents, local
build instructions, the runtime-command contract, and the security
model.

Additive only: nothing in the product loads these images. Deployments
opt in via their sandbox provider configuration (for example the
kubernetes plugin's image settings).

## Verification

- `cd tools/agent-shim && go build ./... && go test ./... && go vet
./...`: all passing.
- `docker buildx bake -f docker/agent-runtime/buildx-bake.hcl --print
base opencode pi codex gemini claude`: resolves cleanly; every tag and
build context lands on `ghcr.io/paperclipai/agent-runtime-*` and derived
targets map the base ref to `target:base`.
- Workflow YAML validated (parses, single job, no org-specific secrets).
- This exact image family (built from these Dockerfiles, bake file, and
workflow) is what runs agent execution in production on paperclip.inc,
verified end-to-end across five harnesses (opencode, pi, codex, gemini,
claude): each as a full loop from assigned issue to per-run runtime
image in a sandboxed pod to completed run.

## Risks

- Low risk: purely additive, nothing in paperclip-server or the UI
references these files. The workflow only triggers on its own paths.
- Derived images install harness CLIs `@latest` at build time; a broken
upstream CLI release would surface at image build, not at run time, and
the PATH assertion fails the build rather than shipping a broken image.
- The hermes image is an explicit stub (documented in its Dockerfile)
until a hermes CLI package exists; it is outside the default publish
scope.
- cosign signing is keyless OIDC with the workflow identity; no
long-lived signing keys are introduced.

use via Claude Code).
