Nicky LeachandPaperclip 7083c275c8 refactor(sandbox): retire the dead noProfile flag from the exec path (#10461)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The sandbox exec path starts agent commands and passes runtime
options to the server and plugin layers
> - This path kept a noProfile flag after the exec wrappers stopped
sourcing a login profile
> - The flag no longer changed behavior, so it left dead API surface in
the protocol and runtime helpers
> - This pull request removes that dead flag from the plugin protocol,
the server drivers, and the managed-runtime helpers
> - It also updates the tests and points the agent runtime README at the
sandbox requirements file
> - The benefit is a smaller and clearer exec-path contract with no
behavior change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- No public GitHub issue exists.

### What happened?

The sandbox exec path kept a `noProfile` field after the exec wrappers
stopped sourcing a login profile.

### Expected behavior

The plugin protocol, server drivers, and managed-runtime helpers should
not expose or forward a dead field.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run a managed-runtime command through the sandbox exec path.
2. Inspect the protocol payload and runtime helper inputs.
3. Observe that `noProfile` is present even though it no longer changes
behavior.

### Paperclip version or commit

`60c7da86fc7a6c1dbf37bbcd86e25ecaaff01607`

### Deployment mode

Built from source (pnpm dev / pnpm build)

### Additional context

This pull request removes the dead field, updates the affected tests,
and updates the README note for the sandbox profile path.

## What Changed

- Removed noProfile from the plugin protocol and the server exec-path
call sites.
- Updated the managed-runtime helpers to use the narrower exec-path
contract.
- Updated the affected tests and added the README pointer to
SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md.

## Verification

- `git grep -n "noProfile" -- packages/ server/` returns zero matches.
- `tsc --noEmit` passed for `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`,
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk`, and `@paperclipai/server`.
- `command-managed-runtime.test.ts` passed: 22/22.
- `environment-runtime.test.ts` passed: 24/24.

## Risks

- Low risk. The flag was already a no-op.
- A hidden external caller may still send the removed field.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-5, tool-enabled.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 7a5a217d60 fix(server): gate sandbox/ssh execution targets by shared remote-managed adapter capability (#10459)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip can run an agent in a remote-managed environment, such as
a sandbox provider or an SSH host.
> - The server resolves an execution target for each run. The resolver
kept its own hardcoded list of allowed adapters.
> - The shared capability metadata in
`packages/shared/src/environment-support.ts` already defines which
adapters support remote-managed environments. The environment selector
and the capabilities API use it.
> - The two lists drifted. The UI offered sandbox environments to Grok
Build (`grok_local`) agents, but the resolver refused them at run time.
> - This pull request makes the resolver use the shared capability check
for both the sandbox gate and the SSH gate.
> - The benefit is one source of truth. The UI and the runtime now agree
on which adapters can use remote-managed environments.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. Inline description per the
bug report template:

**What happened?**

A Grok Build (`grok_local`) agent was assigned a sandbox environment (a
Daytona provider). The UI allowed the assignment. Every run and
primary-model test then failed with the warning: `Adapter "grok_local"
is not allowed in "<environment>" environments.`

**Expected behavior**

An adapter that the environment selector offers for a sandbox
environment must also pass the runtime gate. The Grok Build run must
start in the sandbox.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a sandbox environment (for example, with a Daytona provider
plugin).
2. Create an agent that uses the `grok_local` adapter.
3. Set the agent's environment to the sandbox environment. The UI
accepts this.
4. Run the agent, or run the primary-model test. The run fails with the
adapter-not-allowed warning.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` at `0edb742f8d`.

**Deployment mode**

Local instance with a remote sandbox provider plugin. The same gate also
applies to SSH environments.

## What Changed

- `resolveEnvironmentExecutionTarget` in
`server/src/services/environment-execution-target.ts` now gates the
sandbox path with the shared
`adapterSupportsRemoteManagedEnvironments()` helper. Before, it used a
hardcoded six-adapter list that did not include `grok_local`.
- The SSH path in the same file now uses the same shared helper.
- New regression tests in
`server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`: sandbox
target resolution for every remote-managed adapter (including
`grok_local`), SSH target resolution for `grok_local`, and the null path
for an adapter without remote-managed support.

## Verification

- Run `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`. All 10 tests
pass, including the 3 new ones.
- Confirm `grok_local` is in the `REMOTE_MANAGED_ADAPTERS` set in
`packages/shared/src/environment-support.ts`. The resolver now reads the
same set.
- On a live local instance with this fix, a `grok_local` agent assigned
to a Daytona sandbox environment no longer produces the
adapter-not-allowed warning.

## Risks

Low risk. The change routes two hardcoded checks through existing shared
capability metadata. Behavior changes only where the lists had drifted:
`grok_local`, and any future adapter added to the shared set, can now
resolve sandbox and SSH execution targets. Adapters outside the shared
set still return `null`.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 7797995038 perf(plugin-daytona): opt-in no-profile fast path for default-PATH execs (#10352)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies
> - The Daytona adapter turns tasks into shell commands and manages
execution overhead
> - Many short-lived exec calls still pay for login-shell profile
sourcing even when the binary already resolves on the sandbox default
PATH
> - That extra startup work adds latency on the hot path for repeated
command execution
> - This pull request adds an opt-in fast path that skips profile
sourcing only when the caller explicitly requests it and the command
does not need shell initialization
> - The benefit is lower per-call latency for eligible commands without
changing the conservative default behavior for commands that need the
profile

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This change does not reference a public GitHub issue. It follows the
same Daytona startup-speed work as merged PR #10335 and narrows the
execution path for eligible commands while keeping the default
login-shell behavior intact.

## What Changed

- Added an optional `noProfile` flag to
`PluginEnvironmentExecuteParams`.
- Refactored Daytona login-shell script assembly so the profile and nvm
sourcing block is omitted only on the explicit fast path.
- Preserved environment prefixing, `cd`, shell quoting,
`NONINTERACTIVE_GIT_ENV`, stdin handling, and `durationMs` behavior on
both paths.
- Added regression tests for the fast path omission, the preserved
execution parameters, and the default profile-sourcing path.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/sandbox-provider-daytona exec vitest run
src/plugin.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk tsc --noEmit`
- Reverted the guard locally to confirm the two behavior tests fail
again, then restored the change.

## Risks

- If a caller opts into `noProfile` for a command that depends on shell
initialization, the command can fail to resolve its binary.
- The API comment and opt-in design keep that risk narrow; the default
path remains unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 (Codex tool-using coding agent)

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 030dd9d15c feat(adapter-utils): provider-delegable syncIn seam with ordered post-upload commands (#10340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter/runtime layer has to move files into sandboxes safely
and efficiently
> - The current sync-in path needs a provider-delegable seam so
providers can use their native upload transport when available
> - The upload contract also needs ordered post-upload commands so
extracted content can be finalized fail-fast after transfer
> - The fallback path still has to preserve current behavior when the
provider does not expose native sync verbs
> - This pull request adds the contract and runtime seam for
provider-delegable sync-in, plus the single-stream collapse flag
> - The benefit is fewer round trips, a cleaner provider-owned upload
path, and a compatible fallback for existing runners

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The underlying feature
request is described below in the repository's feature-request format.

### Problem or motivation

Paperclip needs a sync-in path that lets each provider choose the best
available upload transport instead of forcing the harness to orchestrate
uploads the same way every time. The runtime also needs a way to
describe ordered post-upload commands so providers can finalize
extracted content fail-fast after transfer.

### Proposed solution

Extend the sync contract with ordered post-upload commands, forward that
contract through the plugin and environment runtime layers, and make
client syncIn always available. When a provider advertises native sync
verbs, the client should delegate to that transport; otherwise it should
fall back to the existing tarball/write/extract behavior and then run
the post-upload commands in order.

### Alternatives considered

Keeping upload orchestration entirely host-side would avoid a contract
change, but it would block provider-specific transport optimizations and
keep the harness responsible for a path the provider can do more
efficiently. A separate post-upload API would add another surface
without improving the existing sync flow.

### Roadmap alignment

This work aligns with the broader runtime and adapter roadmap because it
improves provider integration without changing the external product
model. It is an additive contract change that preserves backward
compatibility for providers that do not expose native sync verbs.

### Additional context

The fallback path still needs to preserve existing observable behavior,
including command ordering, cwd confinement, and fail-fast execution.
The single-stream progress flag is part of the same transport
improvement so smaller writes can collapse to a single round trip when
the runner supports it.

## What Changed

- Added ordered `postUploadCommands` support to the sync operation
contract and SDK mirror.
- Plumbed the sync-in contract through the plugin and environment
runtime layers.
- Implemented a runtime client `syncIn` path that delegates to native
provider transport when available, otherwise uses the generic
tarball/write/extract fallback.
- Preserved fail-fast execution of ordered post-upload commands in the
fallback path.
- Flipped the sandbox runner's single-stream stdin progress flag to
collapse small `writeFile` operations to a single round trip.
- Added and updated tests for contract forwarding, fallback behavior,
cwd rejection, fail-fast behavior, and single-stream collapse.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run
protocol.postupload.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run
environment-sync-negotiation.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
command-managed-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
environment-execution-target.test.ts`
- Local typecheck and targeted suite runs reported in the handoff passed
before PR creation.

## Risks

- The new fallback path could diverge from the previous inline upload
behavior if the tarball/extract contract changes.
- Provider-native sync handling may expose provider-specific edge cases
if a runner advertises sync verbs but does not fully honor the contract.
- The single-stream flag changes transport behavior for small uploads,
so regressions would likely show up as round-trip or upload failures.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-5, tool-using coding agent).

197718bc00 feat(acpx): per-step round-trip + provider-latency attribution for sandbox startup (#10222)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox-backed runs need more precise startup observability so
operators can see where time is spent before an adapter is invoked
> - Aggregate startup timing hides which boundary is actually slow,
especially in remote execution where the bottleneck can move between
host round-trips, provider-boundary latency, and handshake phases
> - This pull request keeps the existing startup timing channel additive
while attributing the latency to the specific startup steps that caused
it
> - The benefit is better diagnosis of sandbox startup regressions
without changing control flow or introducing a schema migration

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #10204

This PR extends the existing sandbox run-startup timing observability
with per-step round-trip and provider-latency attribution for the
Daytona startup path. It keeps the event payload additive and free-form,
and it leaves the control flow, database schema, and external adapter
interfaces unchanged.

## What Changed

- Added per-step round-trip counting for the host-to-sandbox execute
seam
- Added provider-boundary duration accumulation for the Daytona execute
and re-fetch steps
- Split the ACP handshake timing into `createRuntimeMs` and
`ensureSessionMs` while preserving the warm-handle skip
- Kept the startup timing payload additive and did not add a schema
migration

## Verification

- `adapter-utils` acpx-engine and startup-timing suites: pass
- Daytona plugin suite: pass with mocked SDK and injected-clock duration
assertions
- `server` environment-execution-target suite: pass
- `tsc --noEmit` for adapter-utils and server: pass
- Git validation: fetched
`origin/feat/sandbox-start-step-timing-attribution`, confirmed it
matches the authorized submit SHA
`53c573266e618af05c57a0720aaa9d9e0452de61`, and confirmed the branch
contains only the expected commit on top of `origin/master`
- Searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs/issues; found one closely
related merged PR and no open duplicate on this branch
- Checked `ROADMAP.md`; the broad sandbox-agent roadmap section does not
call out this specific startup-timing attribution work as a duplicate

## Risks

- Low risk: the change is additive and only enriches existing timing
data
- Downstream consumers that assume aggregate-only startup timing may
need to tolerate the additional per-step fields
- The finer spawn/initialize/session split remains a follow-up in the
external ACP client because that hook is not available here yet

b247bf7150 feat(runtime): opt-in sandbox file-sync lifecycle hooks (API + provider docs) (#10013)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is an open-source AI-agent management platform; agents run
tasks inside sandboxed environments (Daytona, Kubernetes, E2B, etc.)
> - The control-plane ↔ sandbox file-transfer path flows through the
`environmentExecute` seam in `protocol.ts` — the only verb available to
plugins — which forces a base64-over-exec chunked loop for every file
move: workspace files, assets, Codex home sync
> - This transport is correct and safe, but it bypasses provider-native
bulk/streaming APIs (Daytona `uploadFiles`, K8s `FastUploadInterceptor`
/ volume mounts), leaving significant throughput on the table for large
workspaces
> - The right fix is an opt-in seam extension: providers with faster
native transfer declare two optional verbs; providers that do not opt in
stay on the existing fallback with zero code or behavior change required
> - This PR adds the first layer of that extension — two optional verbs
(`environmentSyncIn` / `environmentSyncOut`) in the plugin SDK, the
runtime plumbing to prefer the native path for the two clean
destroy-then-replace cases, and a doc for the contract
> - The core correctness invariant is byte-identical fallback: if no
provider opts in, execution is exactly what ships today;
`assertSyncOperationsConfined` enforces host-side path confinement for
providers that do opt in
> - No provider advertises the verbs yet → zero production behavior
change; future PRs wire up Daytona and K8s providers against this
contract

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this feature. Description follows the
`feature_request` issue template:

**Subsystem affected:**
packages/plugins — plugin system; packages/adapter-utils — adapter
runtime; server/ — EnvironmentRuntimeService

**Problem or motivation:**
Sandbox file transfers currently always use a base64-over-exec chunked
loop regardless of what the underlying provider supports. For workspaces
larger than a few MB this becomes the dominant wall-clock cost of every
sandbox run, and it bypasses bulk/stream APIs that providers like
Daytona already expose natively.

**Proposed solution:**
Add two optional, opt-in plugin hooks — `onEnvironmentSyncIn` /
`onEnvironmentSyncOut` — to the plugin SDK. When a provider defines both
hooks and both are advertised via the existing `supportedMethods`
negotiation, the runtime prefers the native path for the two clean
destroy-then-replace transfer cases; all other cases fall back to the
existing byte-identical base64 transport.

**Alternatives considered:**
An unconditional verb would require every provider to implement or stub
the verb. The opt-in / `METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED` pattern (already used by
`environmentExecute`) preserves backward compatibility with zero
provider changes required.

**Roadmap alignment:**
Consistent with the ✅ "Cloud / Sandbox agents" and ✅ "Plugin system"
milestones; extends the plugin seam rather than adding
control-plane-level logic.

**Additional context:**
Searched open pull requests and issues for duplicate sandbox file-sync /
native-transfer work; none found.

## What Changed

- **`packages/plugins/sdk`**
- `protocol.ts`: two new optional `HostToWorkerMethods` —
`environmentSyncIn` / `environmentSyncOut` — plus generic
`SyncOperation`, `SyncFileMapping`, and `SyncOutcome` types
- `define-plugin.ts`: optional `onEnvironmentSyncIn` /
`onEnvironmentSyncOut` fields on `PluginDefinition`; worker advertises
each verb only when its hook is defined (else `METHOD_NOT_IMPLEMENTED`,
mirroring `environmentExecute`)
  - `worker-rpc-host.ts`: route new verbs to plugin hooks
  - `index.ts`: re-export new public types
- **`packages/adapter-utils`**
- `command-managed-runtime.ts`: expose optional `syncIn` / `syncOut` on
`CommandManagedRuntimeRunner` (available only when both verbs are
advertised); add `assertSyncOperationsConfined` host-side
path-confinement guard
- `sandbox-managed-runtime.ts`: `SandboxManagedRuntimeClient` gains
optional `syncIn` / `syncOut`; orchestrator prefers native path for
default-provision asset inbound and workspace-download-into-fresh-dir
outbound; all other paths keep the existing base64 fallback
- `sandbox-file-sync.test.ts` (new): 234-line characterization suite —
native-opt-in branch, fallback branch, `assertSyncOperationsConfined`
escape-path rejection, `followSymlinks` → tar `-h`
- `command-managed-runtime.test.ts`: negotiation + native-sync +
confinement tests
- **`server/src/services/environment-runtime.ts`**:
`EnvironmentRuntimeService` delegates to `syncIn` / `syncOut`, gated on
advertised support
- **`server/src/services/environment-execution-target.ts`**: minor
typing fix alongside the new verbs
- **`doc/plugins/SANDBOX_FILE_SYNC_HOOKS.md`** (new): documents the full
contract — opt-in / no-op guarantee, operation ordering,
provider-may-tar, atomicity, `followSymlinks`, secret modes (0600, no
window), path confinement, `operationId` opacity, resource bounds,
shell-quoting

## Verification

```bash
# SDK suite
pnpm --filter packages/plugins/sdk test

# Adapter-utils suite (includes new sandbox-file-sync characterization tests)
pnpm --filter packages/adapter-utils test
# Expected: 255 pass / 4 skip

# Type-check across affected packages
pnpm --filter packages/plugins/sdk typecheck
pnpm --filter packages/adapter-utils typecheck
# Server changed-file spot check:
cd server && npx tsc --noEmit --skipLibCheck 2>&1 | grep -E "environment-(runtime|execution-target)" | head -20
```

Key behavioral invariant to spot-check: with no provider opting in (the
current state), run any sandbox task and confirm file-transfer behavior
is byte-for-byte identical to what the pre-PR code produces. The
characterization tests assert this at the unit level.

## Risks

- **Zero production risk today**: no provider advertises
`environmentSyncIn` / `environmentSyncOut`, so the new code paths are
unreachable in production; all real traffic stays on the existing base64
fallback
- **Path confinement**: `assertSyncOperationsConfined` rejects any
`targetPath` that escapes the declared root — this is the primary
security boundary for future providers. The test suite covers
escape-path rejection
- **Atomicity**: the contract delegates atomicity to providers; the doc
explicitly calls out that directory-level ops are not guaranteed atomic
- **Secret transport**: credential assets (e.g., Codex `auth.json`,
directory mappings) continue to use the existing tar path — they do not
go through the new verbs in any current provider

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`

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.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip c48feee190 Improve live agent feedback during sandboxed runs (#8915)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A core part of that experience is watching active agent runs without
dropping into raw logs first
> - Local and sandbox-backed adapters already record useful run output,
progress, and tool activity
> - But active issue threads could sit visually stale while the agent
was syncing workspaces, tailing sandbox output, or emitting incremental
tool-call updates
> - Operators need timely, human-readable progress while preserving the
raw transcript underneath
> - This pull request streams sandbox run-log progress into runtime
status, keeps visible issue threads refreshed, and folds repeated ACPX
tool updates into stable transcript cards
> - The benefit is that long-running agent work becomes easier to
supervise without changing the task/comment control-plane model

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this exact change.

Problem/motivation:

- During long-running sandboxed agent work, the issue UI can appear idle
even though the agent is actively syncing, running tools, or producing
incremental output.
- Operators need realtime feedback at the issue-thread layer, not only
after opening raw logs or waiting for the final heartbeat result.
- Related public context: #1808 previously added live-run status dots to
Projects; #4362 touches heartbeat wakeup behavior but is not a duplicate
of this runtime/UI feedback change.

## What Changed

- Added sandbox run-log streaming support and defaulted sandbox-capable
local adapters into the richer live-feedback path.
- Surfaced environment/sandbox sync progress through heartbeat runtime
status with bounded, redacted snippets.
- Added live issue-thread cache patching so visible active runs update
as progress events arrive.
- Folded repeated ACPX `tool_call` updates into one transcript card
instead of stacking duplicate cards.
- Updated adapter docs and added focused regression coverage for sandbox
log streaming, runtime status, ACPX parsing, live updates, transcript
rendering, and issue chat messages.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run

- GitHub PR workflow on head `8397953e7b41ccd42e5d9457ee7e4dfb996e4ec5`:
`verify`, build, typecheck/release-registry, e2e, general shards,
serialized server shards, and canary dry run passed.
- Greptile Review on head `8397953e7b41ccd42e5d9457ee7e4dfb996e4ec5`:
Confidence Score 5/5, no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- Live issue-thread cache patching could miss an edge case for a route
shape not covered by tests.
- Surfacing active-run snippets needs continued care around redaction;
this PR keeps snippets bounded and adds redaction-focused coverage.
- More frequent active-run UI refreshes could expose performance issues
on very large issue threads, though updates are scoped to visible
run/query caches.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex, operating as a tool-enabled coding agent with
shell, git, and repository-editing capabilities. Context window size is
not exposed in this runtime.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 07e98d2b2c feat(adapter-utils): add observable sandbox sync progress (#8395)
## 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`).

Devin FoleyandPaperclip ad0bb57350 Fix exe.dev sandbox installs for gemini/opencode local adapters (#5737)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, including
running adapter CLIs inside remote sandboxes
> - The QA matrix in PAPA-316 spins up local-runtime adapters
(claude/gemini/opencode) against both SSH and the new exe.dev sandbox
provider, and "Test" exercises the same install + probe path the real
runtime uses
> - On exe.dev the QA matrix failed at three different points:
SSH/sandbox secret refs would not resolve, gemini-local could not find
npm, and opencode-local installed a binary that was not on the
probe-shell PATH
> - These are all environment-shape issues the runtime should handle,
not regressions in any individual adapter, so they need to be fixed in
the shared install/resolve layer before the matrix can pass
> - This pull request wires the environment id through to secret-ref
resolution, bootstraps npm from a portable Node tarball when the sandbox
image lacks Node, and symlinks the opencode binary into a directory that
non-login shells see
> - The benefit is that the QA matrix passes end-to-end on exe.dev, and
any future sandbox provider that ships without Node or relies on rc-file
PATH wiring gets the same fixes for free

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/environment-execution-target.ts`: pass the
environment `id` into `resolveEnvironmentDriverConfigForRuntime` for
both the sandbox and SSH branches, so `privateKeySecretRef` /
sandbox-provider secret refs (e.g. exe.dev `apiKey`) can resolve against
the secret store at runtime instead of throwing `Runtime secret
resolution requires an environment id`.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-install-command.ts`: extend
`buildSandboxNpmInstallCommand` with an `ENSURE_NPM_PREAMBLE` that, when
`npm` is missing, downloads a portable Node v22 tarball into
`$HOME/.local` and sets `PAPERCLIP_NPM_BOOTSTRAPPED=1` so the install
step skips sudo (sudo's `secure_path` would lose the freshly-installed
`npm` in `$HOME/.local/bin`). Distro-packaged Node from apt-get is
intentionally avoided because it tends to be too old to parse modern JS
syntax used by `@google/gemini-cli`.
- `packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/index.ts`: switch the hardcoded
`npm install -g @google/gemini-cli` to `buildSandboxNpmInstallCommand`,
so gemini-local picks up the same sudo-aware + npm-bootstrap behavior as
the other local adapters.
- `packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/index.ts`: append a step to the
install command that symlinks `$HOME/.opencode/bin/opencode` into
`$HOME/.local/bin`. The upstream installer only adds `~/.opencode/bin`
to PATH via `~/.bashrc`, which non-login `sh -c` probe invocations do
not source.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-install-command.test.ts`: cover
the new preamble plus the unchanged root/sudo/user-prefix branches.

## Verification

- `cd packages/adapter-utils && npm test -- sandbox-install-command`
(passes; new "bootstraps npm from a portable Node tarball when missing"
case is included).
- Manual: ran the in-app `Test` action against the QA matrix dev
instance for `QA exe.dev Claude`, `QA exe.dev Gemini`, and `QA exe.dev
OpenCode` — all three now report `status=pass` including the hello
probe. `QA SSH Claude` also passes; without the environment-id fix, SSH
resolution threw before the wrapper / install fixes could run.
- Suggested reviewer check: re-run the matrix on a fresh exe.dev
environment and confirm the install step no longer hits `npm: command
not found` for gemini and the opencode probe no longer hits `opencode:
command not found`.

## Risks

- Low/medium. The npm bootstrap pins Node `v22.11.0` from
`nodejs.org/dist`; if that URL becomes unreachable the install will fail
with a clear `curl` error rather than corrupting state. The bootstrap
path is only taken when `npm` is genuinely missing, so existing sandbox
images that ship with Node are unaffected.
- The opencode symlink uses `ln -sf` into `$HOME/.local/bin`, which is
created with `mkdir -p`; idempotent on re-install.
- The `id` change is a strict additive: callers previously got
`undefined` and only the secret-ref code paths actually read it. No
behavior change for environments without secret refs.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), `claude-opus-4-7`, with extended thinking and tool
use enabled. Iterated through the Paperclip QA matrix harness; no other
model assisted.

Devin Foley 076067865f Migrate SSH environment callback to bridge (#5116)
> **Stacked PR (part 3 of 7).** Depends on:
  - PR #5114
  - PR #5115
> Diff against `master` includes commits from earlier PRs in the stack —
the new commit in this PR is the topmost one.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents executing on a remote SSH-backed environment need a way to
call back into
>   the Paperclip control plane (run events, log streaming, signals)
> - When the SSH host can't reach the Paperclip host (NAT, firewalls, or
simply not
> on the same network), the run silently fails or hangs — a recurring
class of
>   failure during SSH testing
> - In sandboxed environments we already solved this with a callback
bridge that
> tunnels back through the existing connection; SSH was the odd one out
> - This PR migrates SSH execution to use the same callback bridge, so
every
> adapter's remote run uses one consistent reverse-channel. Per-adapter
SSH glue
> is deleted in favour of a shared `CommandManagedRuntimeRunner` built
from the
>   SSH spec
> - The benefit is fewer SSH-specific failure modes, a smaller code
surface, and
>   one place to evolve the callback contract going forward

## What Changed

- Added `createSshCommandManagedRuntimeRunner` in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts` that adapts an SSH spec into a
generic
  command-managed-runtime runner (with cwd, env, and timeout handling)
- Removed `paperclipApiUrl` from `SshRemoteExecutionSpec`; the bridge
URL now flows
  through the shared runner
- Reworked `execution-target.ts` to use the SSH runner alongside sandbox
runners
  via a unified `CommandManagedRuntimeRunner` interface
- Simplified `remote-managed-runtime.ts` and
`sandbox-managed-runtime.ts` to consume
  the shared runner abstraction
- Deleted per-adapter SSH callback wiring from claude-local,
codex-local,
  cursor-local, gemini-local, opencode-local, pi-local execute.ts files
- Removed `environment-runtime-driver-contract.test.ts` (the contract is
now
  enforced by `environment-execution-target.test.ts`)
- Added/updated `execute.remote.test.ts` cases for each adapter to cover
the SSH
  runner path

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils test`
- `pnpm test -- execute.remote` (covers all six local adapters' SSH
paths)
- Manual QA: ran a claude-local agent against an SSH-backed environment,
confirmed
the agent successfully called back to `/api/agent-callback/*` endpoints
during
  the run

## Risks

- Refactor touches all six local adapters. If any adapter had subtle
SSH-specific
behaviour that wasn't captured in tests, it could regress. Mitigation:
each
  adapter's `execute.remote.test.ts` was extended.
- `paperclipApiUrl` removal from `SshRemoteExecutionSpec` is a breaking
type change
for any internal consumer. Verified no external plugins consume this
type.
- The new `CommandManagedRuntimeRunner` shape is a public surface in
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils`; downstream plugins implementing custom
runners may
  need updates, but no such plugins exist in this repo.

Devin Foley a7b45938b7 Let sandbox providers declare shell defaults (#5114)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents execute in sandboxed remote environments served by pluggable
sandbox
>   providers (E2B today, more later)
> - Today every sandbox command runs under `sh -lc` regardless of what
the
>   provider's container actually ships
> - That misses bash-only shell init on E2B (which ships bash) and
prevents
> future providers from declaring a different default — there's no way
for a
>   provider to say "I have bash, use it"
> - This PR adds a `shellCommand` field to sandbox execution targets so
providers
> can declare their preferred shell ("bash" for E2B), threads it through
the
> sandbox-managed-runtime client, callback bridge, and execution-target
shell
>   helper, and validates the value at the lease-metadata boundary
> - The benefit is that sandbox commands run under the right shell on
the right
> provider, and adding new sandbox providers only needs to declare a
shell
>   preference

## What Changed

- Added `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-shell.ts` exporting
`preferredShellForSandbox(shellCommand)` (returns `"bash"` if input is
`"bash"`,
  else `"sh"`)
- Added `shellCommand?: "bash" | "sh" | null` to
`AdapterSandboxExecutionTarget`
  and `CommandManagedRuntimeSpec`; threaded it through
`runAdapterExecutionTargetShellCommand`,
`prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime`,
  and `startAdapterExecutionTargetPaperclipBridge`
- `createCommandManagedRuntimeClient`, `prepareCommandManagedRuntime`,
and
`createCommandManagedSandboxCallbackBridgeQueueClient` now take an
optional
  `shellCommand` and use `preferredShellForSandbox` to pick the shell
- `startSandboxCallbackBridgeServer` accepts a `shellCommand` for its
server
  startup, readiness probe, and stop hook
- E2B sandbox plugin declares `shellCommand: "bash"` in `leaseMetadata`
- `resolveEnvironmentExecutionTarget` reads `shellCommand` from lease
metadata
  (validating against `"bash" | "sh" | null`)
- `environment-runtime.ts` adds `"shellCommand"` to
`INTERNAL_PLUGIN_SANDBOX_CONFIG_KEYS`
so the field round-trips through internal plugin config without leaking
to
  external plugin metadata
- Updated tests in `command-managed-runtime.test.ts`,
  `execution-target-sandbox.test.ts`, `sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts`,
  `environment-execution-target.test.ts`

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils test`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test --
environment-execution-target`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/sandbox-providers-e2b test`
- Manual QA: boot a Paperclip instance, create an E2B-backed
environment, run a
claude_local agent against it, and confirm the run completes (verifies
bash
  shell semantics flow through the callback bridge end-to-end)

## Risks

- E2B sandbox commands now run under `bash -lc` instead of `sh -lc`.
Bash is a
strict superset for the commands we issue (no busybox-only flags in our
shell
scripts), so risk is low. The shellCommand field is opt-in via lease
metadata —
  providers that don't declare it stay on `sh`.
- New optional field on `CommandManagedRuntimeSpec` and
`AdapterSandboxExecutionTarget`.
  Consumers ignoring the field retain previous behaviour (sh).
- Lease metadata now carries an additional field. Existing leases
without
`shellCommand` resolve to `null` and fall back to sh — backwards
compatible.

DottaandPaperclip 4272c1604d Add ACPX local adapter runtime (#4893)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies through a control plane
that can start, supervise, and recover agent runs.
> - Local adapters are the bridge between Paperclip issues and concrete
agent runtimes such as Claude, Codex, and other ACP-compatible tools.
> - The roadmap calls out broader “bring your own agent” and claw-style
agent support, and ACPX gives Paperclip one path to normalize multiple
ACP agents behind a single adapter.
> - The branch needed to become one reviewable PR against current
`paperclipai/paperclip:master`, without carrying stale base conflicts or
generated lockfile churn.
> - This pull request adds an experimental built-in `acpx_local`
adapter, integrates it through the server/CLI/UI adapter surfaces, and
adds regression coverage for runtime execution, skill sync, stream
parsing, diagnostics, and log redaction.
> - The benefit is that Paperclip can run Claude/Codex/custom ACP agents
through ACPX while keeping operator configuration, skills, logging, and
transcript rendering inside the existing adapter model.

## What Changed

- Added `@paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local` with server execution, config
schema, ACPX session handling, CLI formatting, UI config helpers, and
stdout parsing.
- Registered `acpx_local` across CLI, server, shared constants, UI
adapter metadata, adapter capabilities, and agent creation/editing
surfaces.
- Added ACPX runtime execution support with persistent sessions,
local-agent JWT environment handling, skill snapshots, runtime skill
materialization, and isolation/security regressions.
- Added ACPX adapter diagnostics and marked the adapter experimental in
the UI.
- Added command/env secret redaction for resolved command metadata in
adapter-utils, server event storage, and the Agent Detail invocation UI.
- Added Storybook coverage for ACPX config, transcript rendering, and
skill states, plus PR screenshots under `docs/pr-screenshots/pap-2944/`.
- Rebased the branch onto current `public-gh/master`; `pnpm-lock.yaml`
is intentionally not included and there are no migration/schema changes.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run

## Risks

- Medium risk: this introduces a new built-in adapter package and
touches runtime execution, adapter registration, agent config, skills,
and transcript rendering.
- ACPX and ACP agent behavior can vary by installed tool versions; the
adapter is marked experimental to set operator expectations.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is excluded per repository PR policy, so dependency
lock refresh must be handled by the repo’s automation or maintainers.
- No database migration risk: no schema or migration files changed.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with repository tool use,
shell execution, git operations, and local verification. Exact hosted
context window was not exposed in this environment.

Devin Foley a4ac6ff133 Add sandbox callback bridge for remote environment API access (#4801)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents can run inside sandboxed environments like E2B, which are
isolated from the host network
> - Sandboxed agents need to call back to the Paperclip API to report
progress, post comments, and update issue status
> - But sandbox environments cannot reach the Paperclip server directly
because they run in isolated network namespaces
> - This PR adds a callback bridge that proxies API requests from the
sandbox to the Paperclip server, running as a local HTTP server on the
host that forwards authenticated requests
> - The bridge is started automatically when an adapter launches a
sandbox execution, and torn down when the run completes
> - The benefit is sandboxed agents can interact with the Paperclip API
without requiring network-level access to the host, enabling E2B and
similar providers to work end-to-end

## What Changed

- Added `sandbox-callback-bridge.ts` in `packages/adapter-utils/` — a
lightweight HTTP bridge server that accepts requests from sandbox
environments and proxies them to the Paperclip API with authentication
- Added request validation and security policy: the bridge only forwards
requests to the configured API URL, validates content types, enforces
size limits, and rejects non-API paths
- Wired the bridge into all remote adapter execute paths (claude, codex,
cursor, gemini, pi) — the bridge starts before the agent process and the
bridge URL is passed via environment variables
- Updated `environment-execution-target.ts` to prefer the explicit API
URL from environment lease metadata for sandbox callback routing
- Fixed Claude sandbox runtime setup to work with the bridge
configuration
- Added comprehensive test coverage for bridge request handling, policy
enforcement, and sandbox execution integration
- Fixed browser bundling — the bridge module is excluded from the
frontend bundle via the adapter-utils index export

## Verification

- `pnpm test` — all existing and new tests pass, including bridge unit
tests and sandbox execution integration tests
- `pnpm typecheck` — clean
- Manual: configure an E2B environment, run an agent task, verify the
agent can post comments and update issue status through the bridge

## Risks

- Medium. This is a new network-facing component (HTTP server on
localhost). The security policy restricts forwarding to the configured
API URL only and validates all requests, but any proxy introduces attack
surface. The bridge binds to localhost only and is scoped to the
lifetime of a single agent run.

## Model Used

Codex GPT 5.4 high via Paperclip.

Devin Foley 70679a3321 Add sandbox environment support (#4415)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The environment/runtime layer decides where agent work executes and
how the control plane reaches those runtimes.
> - Today Paperclip can run locally and over SSH, but sandboxed
execution needs a first-class environment model instead of one-off
adapter behavior.
> - We also want sandbox providers to be pluggable so the core does not
hardcode every provider implementation.
> - This branch adds the Sandbox environment path, the provider
contract, and a deterministic fake provider plugin.
> - That required synchronized changes across shared contracts, plugin
SDK surfaces, server runtime orchestration, and the UI
environment/workspace flows.
> - The result is that sandbox execution becomes a core control-plane
capability while keeping provider implementations extensible and
testable.

## What Changed

- Added sandbox runtime support to the environment execution path,
including runtime URL discovery, sandbox execution targeting,
orchestration, and heartbeat integration.
- Added plugin-provider support for sandbox environments so providers
can be supplied via plugins instead of hardcoded server logic.
- Added the fake sandbox provider plugin with deterministic behavior
suitable for local and automated testing.
- Updated shared types, validators, plugin protocol definitions, and SDK
helpers to carry sandbox provider and workspace-runtime contracts across
package boundaries.
- Updated server routes and services so companies can create sandbox
environments, select them for work, and execute work through the sandbox
runtime path.
- Updated the UI environment and workspace surfaces to expose sandbox
environment configuration and selection.
- Added test coverage for sandbox runtime behavior, provider seams,
environment route guards, orchestration, and the fake provider plugin.

## Verification

- Ran locally before the final fixture-only scrub:
  - `pnpm -r typecheck`
  - `pnpm test:run`
  - `pnpm build`
- Ran locally after the final scrub amend:
  - `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/runtime-api.test.ts`
- Reviewer spot checks:
  - create a sandbox environment backed by the fake provider plugin
  - run work through that environment
- confirm sandbox provider execution does not inherit host secrets
implicitly

## Risks

- This touches shared contracts, plugin SDK plumbing, server runtime
orchestration, and UI environment/workspace flows, so regressions would
likely show up as cross-layer mismatches rather than isolated type
errors.
- Runtime URL discovery and sandbox callback selection are sensitive to
host/bind configuration; if that logic is wrong, sandbox-backed
callbacks may fail even when execution succeeds.
- The fake provider plugin is intentionally deterministic and
test-oriented; future providers may expose capability gaps that this
branch does not yet cover.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent on a GPT-5-class backend in the
Paperclip/Codex harness. Exact backend model ID is not exposed
in-session. Tool-assisted workflow with shell execution, file editing,
git history inspection, and local test execution.
