DottaandPaperclip	b17019e14d	fix(agents): reduce default instructions and qualify stock harnesses (#14948) ... ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Its adapters supply task context and access to Paperclip skills and tools. > - The default hire manual and shared prompts also repeat general work procedures. > - Those procedures overlap with stock provider instructions and the Paperclip skill. > - Existing E2E fixtures supply a QA manual, so they do not qualify the production default. > - This pull request reduces the generic instructions and adds real default-hire coverage. > - The benefit is less competing guidance, with inspectable evidence for preserved skills and task context. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs: #14920. That merged change preserves native Codex base instructions. This PR covers the default manual, shared legacy prompts, operational skill guidance, and the narrowly approved ACP skill-discovery/session-environment repair for measured delivery and credential-persistence failures. **What existing behavior does this improve?** New non-CEO hires without a custom bundle and legacy task/chat startup and continuation prompts. **Current behavior** The shipped default manual contains 602 words. Generic task/chat prompts and ordinary resume deltas repeat work procedures already available through the harness and Paperclip skill. **Proposed behavior** The default manual contains only the eight-word company identity. Shared startup prompts retain identity and connection guidance. Ordinary resume deltas retain current work context without the generic execution contract. **Reason and benefit** Let the stock harness guide general work. Keep Paperclip-specific capabilities and independently test default hires, skills, ordered comments, and chat restart. **Breaking changes** New default hires receive less guidance. Existing saved manuals, explicit custom bundles, CEO templates, and specialized wake contracts retain their behavior. The obsolete includeExecutionContract option remains accepted for source compatibility. ## What Changed - Reduce the default hire manual to one sentence. - Reduce shared task/chat defaults and remove the generic ordinary-resume contract. - Keep connection guidance, auth, skills, custom prompts, and specialized wake context. - Add credential-free instruction-boundary gates and 26 explicit Product E2E cells across eight legacy/native profiles, including two focused Paperclip-storage cases. - Capture public hire receipts before providers run, then grade delivered prompts and independent task/chat outcomes. - Add an early legacy skill API recipe for saving a task document, checking the saved revision receipt and linking the document. Improve stock task/heartbeat skill-selection metadata and show a clickable Markdown UI-link example. Keep native tool completion separate. - Advertise bounded routing descriptions and exact successfully staged SKILL.md paths in legacy ACP Claude; keep full bodies on demand and preserve remote path rebasing. - Remove only the provider environment from copied persisted ACP session records, while loading current run credentials and preserving all other options/conversation state. - Regenerate both capability metadata inventories and reject stale manifests/inventories before provider admission. - Publish the original reduction and focused skill-repair comparisons, preserving all failures, automatic recovery, cost coverage and limitations. ## Verification **Behavioral qualification remains pending.** Original legacy ACP Claude loses the issue document only in the reduced cohort beneath an unchanged credential failure. A source-backed diagnosis finds that neither ordinary assignment reads the staged operational skill, while the runtime persists provider environment in session state. The new common repairs expose skill metadata/path and omit persisted env; strict document and credential guards stay intact. [Inspectable diagnosis and retained hashes](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/9f654db4541d3d002769c988f6e51fc0b08dadbd/doc/plans/2026-10-03-legacy-acp-claude-readiness.md). Current repair head `de0965984ff3edf611ae6d0e7ca5c7d5ae3947bb` incorporates master `569c7203aa24b95440682983ce7940ba1d4247bd` (merged #14961/#15007). All 222 affected adapter tests, adapter-utils/E2E typechecks, and final 96 variant/grader/retry calibrations pass. The frozen historical comparator is `c25697f4260b6f3adfea143c3ae9932e2f42986d`: 8,280 of 8,291 paths identical, exactly two production instruction paths plus nine declared unit expectations differ. The operational skill/discovery/environment repairs, selected model/profile/task/core grader/auth/permissions/retry policy are identical. Both actual launcher prepare→verify admissions pass with zero providers. [Immutable manifest and exact receipts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/9f654db4541d3d002769c988f6e51fc0b08dadbd/doc/plans/2026-10-03-legacy-acp-claude-evidence/manifest.json). One original legacy ACP Claude cell per variant is authorized, with enforced single campaign attempts, 12-minute deadlines and company/agent 1,000-cent hard stops; every product recovery run/cost is counted. Actual live outcomes are pending. Current normal CI has one failed server shard and failed aggregate verify under diagnosis; other normal gates including typecheck/build/Rust/all eight browser shards pass. Fresh review completed successfully; the valid historical startup/resume masking finding was fixed with per-invocation task/chat checks and strict complete-snapshot capture, calibrated and resolved. Prior heads, failures and campaigns below remain historical evidence, not checks on this repair head. - Prior head `36aa4d81c49a1a8f6f04b1a068fae19aa901955f` is replayed on merged hiring master `862a5758ba0e88a33232c1f1fa645e85c38a3113`. All 52 current-head checks pass with two intentional Storybook skips, including repository typecheck/test/build and the browser shard. Fresh Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved review threads. Exact-head stock prerequisites pass 599 assertions (598 TypeScript + 1 Rust), all six gates and retained receipt verification, zero providers/source errors. Fingerprint `a7f5a22d860a88fe20cce213c6d5e0004788f32c8363930729aea4fd740ad16d`. Combined catalog/hiring calibrations pass 67 assertions, E2E typecheck and 26-cell stock discovery pass. Canonical contract/inventory checks and the later issue-derived reference calibration are retained; that reference-only follow-up is not live-qualified by earlier frozen runs. - Prior full repository typecheck/build passed. The complete local Vitest run executed 14,956 tests: 14,870 passed, 83 skipped, three timing failures. All three affected files passed unchanged narrow reruns; original failures remain retained. Current-head CI now passes the full general checks; the original local failures remain retained. - The original 24-pair default-manual/shared-prompt comparison has two new overall classic Claude/OpenCode document-delivery failures plus an additional legacy ACP Claude document loss beneath an unchanged credential-guard failure (not closed by later runs), two newly passing OpenCode ordered cases, seven unchanged failures and 13 unchanged passes. Equal 15/24 totals do not establish behavioral equivalence. [Complete original report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/875f4c397d9e8c3f12f39dedd59abaf1eaf5236e/doc/plans/2026-10-02-stock-harness-live-comparison.md). - The skill-only repair holds the eight-word manual/shared prompts and merged #14920 fixed. All four matched profile configurations and 203 fixture/behavior files match. Candidate `abd0b628ca642c09a54a4edc56a5227402f6686e` varies only the two skill sources against baseline `bc83fe030234439ac51279502a28803958963e2e`. [Candidate workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37060885547) and [baseline workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37060888047) each pass 571 exact-source prerequisites before providers; all eight cells clean up successfully. Failed campaigns publish successfully and remain failed. - Repair pairs: Claude original Fail → Pass; Claude explicit Pass → Pass; both OpenCode cases Fail → Fail. Explicit OpenCode's handoff worsens beneath the unchanged failing UI-link grade: baseline gives a clickable API URL, candidate gives a code-formatted path without an anchor. The request's usable-link wording is narrower in the UI-only oracle. [Complete repair report and safe projection](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/875f4c397d9e8c3f12f39dedd59abaf1eaf5236e/doc/plans/2026-10-02-legacy-document-skill-repair.md). - The subsequent narrow stock metadata/link correction has two matched Pass → Pass cases, zero new machine failures/passes and no pending pairs. Both original-case handoff links remain deficient: candidate uses a wrong PAP prefix, baseline supplies a bare prefix-less slug path; the preserved original oracle only requires a durable document. Both explicit clickable UI-link cases pass revision/content/link grading. All four exact-source 587-check gates, single assignment runs and cleanup pass. This does not establish fix causality because baseline also succeeds. [Candidate workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37069547401) freezes `fe9dc1e3c518825242ed889ab9c8352986f8c2ed`; [matched baseline](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37069552374) freezes `0d7ecfa96d72fba79b7f0a25052b42c0686c0488`. This is a skill-only comparison with reduced manuals/shared prompts held constant, not a repeat of the historical-manual comparison. Only original and clarified explicit classic OpenCode cases are selected, two per variant/four expected turns. 8,242 other tracked files and both profile hashes match; protected workflows admit each exact source before credentials. [Complete qualification report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/74d0d3d945f4c52d0814b5a845ab5bd09f33cd6b/doc/plans/2026-10-02-opencode-skill-routing-link-qualification.md). Candidate original loads Paperclip/reference before saving publicly; baseline original loads it after writing locally, then saves publicly within the same assignment. Reported cost totals are $0.0107824490 candidate / $0.0107909015 baseline, with unmetered runtime. The later reference-only issue-derived link correction is provider-free calibrated and **not live-qualified** by these frozen runs; no further paid runs. - Retained tool calls show the repaired original OpenCode assignment loads only its assigned output skill before writing locally. Operational Paperclip is first loaded during automatic disposition recovery; its early recipe is visible then, but it never saves the missing document. Explicit candidate loads Paperclip and reads the new reference before saving successfully. All nine actual runs are counted. Reported LLM totals are $0.3802537209 baseline and $0.4918990161 candidate; local runtime is unmetered. - Initial setup, packaging, cancelled/missing-cell recovery, callback test and relative-output attempts remain retained. No completed provider failure was rerun. Frozen measurement branches are unchanged by later canonical metadata maintenance. - Run `pnpm test:e2e:runner:stock-harness`, `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`, and `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`. Select `stock-harness` explicitly for paid execution; it is excluded from `--all`. Prior-head integration: `36aa4d81c49a1a8f6f04b1a068fae19aa901955f` replays this PR on merged hiring #14985 (`862a5758ba0e88a33232c1f1fa645e85c38a3113`), preserving the four explicit custom-CEO-bundle checks, minimal generic manual boundary, and both suites. The combined fixture catalog and hiring calibrations pass 67 assertions; exact-head stock prerequisites pass 599 assertions (598 TypeScript + 1 Rust), all six gates and retained-receipt verification, zero providers/source errors, fingerprint `a7f5a22d860a88fe20cce213c6d5e0004788f32c8363930729aea4fd740ad16d`. E2E typecheck and 26-cell stock discovery pass. Fresh current-head CI passes all 52 checks with two intentional skips, and fresh Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved review threads. The prior source-plan browser failure is retained: a deterministic process fixture replayed its last `fixture:plan` command on `chat_task_completed`, writing revision 2 with identical body after the approval handoff. This was not paid provider execution. Rebased current-head CI passes the same assertion without an old-head retry or a change to that browser fixture. The merged hiring change was measured separately on immutable matched unions, with this reduced/shared/operational context and native completion guidance held constant. [Complete original two-profile report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/f0512647656be78e48abd8c22a3078db8bf6bcd2/doc/plans/2026-10-02-hiring-template-live-comparison.md): [candidate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37075466208) / [historical baseline](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37075469463), 705 provider-free prerequisites each. Both pairs are unchanged Fail → Fail on the exact-five count, with six core delivery checks passing all four cells; 28 actual successful runs include eight automatic completion wakes, zero retries, four successful cleanups. Source-read coverage is uncomparable, actual model charges unknown. Separately versioned provider-free accounting remains analytical work; original verdicts are preserved. This does not rerun or qualify the completed default-manual or native campaigns. ## Risks - Legacy ACP Claude's additional delivery loss is not closed by any later matched run and blocks the no-extra-failing-behavior merge criterion. Legacy document delivery may have relied on the prior manual/shared prompts. The early skill repair improves Claude in one trial; the later OpenCode pairs pass in both variants and cannot establish causality or robust recovery. Both original-case links remain deficient beneath the storage-only grade. The later issue-derived reference correction has only provider-free validation. Native finish/block descriptions must not be supplied to legacy agents. - The comparison holds merged native Codex fix #14920 constant; it cannot measure that fix's before/after task performance. - These bounded skill/context/chat workflows do not measure general coding quality. Unrepresented providers remain unqualified. - Saved manuals and old Codex sessions are not automatically migrated. Codex through ACP still has a separate base-instruction follow-up. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family as identified by this session. The exact deployment ID and context-window size are not exposed. The assistant used reasoning, repository tools, code execution, and delegated PR/eval work. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes: #` / `Refs: #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass (relevant suites and all three unchanged narrow reruns pass; complete-run timing failures retained in Verification) - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green on the new repair head (prior-head checks retained above) - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups on the new repair head - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>	2026-10-03 12:32:42 -05:00
DottaandPaperclip	dd868ed125	fix(runner): share native completion tool guidance (#14961) ... ## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work. > - Native Runner agents report completion through finish and block tools. > - The providers receive different descriptions for those tools. > - Completion guidance belongs with the tools that enforce the result. > - This pull request shares the descriptions and refreshes retained catalogs. > - A separate native suite checks completion and blocking on production defaults. > - Legacy agents retain their separate skill and API paths. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs: #14920, #14948, #14985. **Current behavior** Native Codex and MCP bridges describe finish and block differently. Retained provider sessions can keep old descriptions. **Proposed behavior** Native providers receive the same finish and block descriptions. The descriptions cover report selection, validation feedback, returned outcomes, approval gates and final-answer timing. Retained native sessions refresh from v13 to v14. **Reason and benefit** Put the completion procedure next to its native tool. Preserve stock base instructions, schemas, permissions and terminal semantics. This PR now stands alone on master. It contains no reduced manual, shared prompt or operational-skill changes from #14948. ## What Changed - Add canonical native finish and block descriptions. Use them in direct Codex and both native MCP bridges. - Advance the native tool contract to v14. Cover old-v13 refresh without replacing task identity or prior history. - Check authenticated tool catalogs, provider start/resume frames and serialized daemon catalogs. - Add an independent, explicit-only native completion suite. Preserve the original assigned-skill durable-document journey. Pair it with a concrete whole-task blocker across Codex, ACPX Claude and OpenCode. - Verify the actual public production default bundle and budgets before execution. Require independent durable disposition, native result/terminal receipts and observable provider-final ordering. - Correct the blocker browser oracle to accept the requested explanation. Keep exact owner/action/scope checks. Calibrate positive, missing and contradictory replies. - Preserve only actual `tool_call` terminal names (`paperclip_finish` / `paperclip_block`) in the native compatibility run-log projection. Require the same named call ID through its finishing result; retain all other redaction boundaries. - Admit verified hosted shallow checkout/build hydration and bind the selected runnerd to exact source/archive/binary provenance. Hosted cells truthfully reuse the existing trusted build; local admission executes Rust calibration. Forward only public source/run identifiers through both launcher preflight subprocess paths. - Enforce single attempts in the launcher for opted-in fixtures. Keep ordinary retry policy unchanged. Run exact-source, credential-free admission before credential loading. ## Verification - Frozen candidate: `d6e59e4712a3158ab4cd7d58deff1389b4578c21`, based on master `59c07ede72dc08b8aba149a01cc11e0b7a204621`; historical descriptions: `e74ed61a69fbdd8b3a8f15dd6456bc3140246e33`. Exactly the five original native production files and six unit tests differ. Both carry identical corrected fixtures, strict named finishing-call grader, closed compatibility carrier and admission. Defaults, profiles/models/auth/permissions and manifest bytes match. - Actual launcher `prepareNativeCompletionPreflight` → `verifyNativeCompletionPreflight` admission passes on both exact refs with zero providers: candidate 132 / historical 127 selected TypeScript assertions, 128 Node calibrations and one Rust normalization calibration each; E2E typecheck, manifest checks, selected binary provenance and six-cell discovery pass. Each has 257 explicitly skipped unrelated assertions, not coverage. The credential-free environment calibration exercises both real prepare/verify subprocess options with public hosted identifiers and rejects credential/ambient overrides. Complete actual launcher prepare→verify also passes on both frozen refs with explicitly synthetic hosted metadata/verified archives, separately labeled as calibration rather than a trusted GitHub run. Exact framed provenance parsing and mock source identity are calibrated without relaxing the real verifier. - [Complete matched qualification report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/532066620b88e8731a5211fbe1cbc48ce8c7dd1a/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-master-qualification.md), [immutable manifest](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/532066620b88e8731a5211fbe1cbc48ce8c7dd1a/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-calibrated-manifest.json) and [closed retained audit/hashes](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/532066620b88e8731a5211fbe1cbc48ce8c7dd1a/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-calibrated-results/comparison.json) are inspectable. All six candidate cells pass; historical descriptions pass five. Paired outcomes: **zero new failures, one new pass (Codex blocker), five unchanged passes, zero pending pairs**. [Candidate campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37098728980) and [historical campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37098815696) each execute six original attempt-1 native runs, with no campaign retry and successful cleanup. Their trusted workflow revision is `215586d127e97c9301d86e769a39a15c13298ca2`, separate from measured source. [Candidate public HTML](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37098728980-1/index.html) and [historical public HTML](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37098815696-1/index.html) retain declared screenshots. - Independent candidate evidence agrees with all original grades: 51 strict native checks, 12 served-default/budget checks and 21 original skill/document checks pass. The historical Codex blocker saves the correct whole-task blocker but omits the required marker from its actual provider final and identical saved reply. This is not semantic-summary fallback. Its original browser/matcher failure stays retained; the additional native snapshot/grade and workspace before/after digest were never written and are not fabricated by the separate API/PRP audit. Historical Codex completion has one failed finish followed by success within the same native run; the public receipt records no failure reason. All twelve runs and their usage remain counted. Reported model-cost subtotals are $0.00421482 historical/$0.00437391 candidate; Codex/Claude zero entries have unknown billing type, actual invoices are unverified and hosted execution cost is unmetered. One matched trial supports no extra failure within these six cases, not broad statistical or coding-quality equivalence. - Initial hosted `e18c2cf9` / `459455ac` and subsequent `0a9c5a7` / `00a761b` cohorts each stopped before providers in all twelve cells. The latter failed a mocked-receipt unit test under ambient hosted metadata; all source/build proofs passed. [All twelve later setup receipts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/402ee94c52273ad58de355ae9a7d562dd22f8101/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-qualified-hosted-setup.json) are retained. [Exact failed setup receipts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/27653eb1a8f8ce839776d760f4563f672e5a706c/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-master-hosted-setup.json) and the original manifest remain intact. Local sandbox-denied loopback and stale anchor-expectation attempts are retained separately; unchanged appropriate assertions were corrected/admitted before paid dispatch. Old anonymous OpenCode streams are not assigned inferred tool names or retroactively passed. - Full provider-free E2E support previously passed 927 tests in 67 files. Exact-head d6 normal CI run `37098409915`, attempt 1 passes full repository typecheck/build/tests, Runner Rust/static checks, all browser shards/aggregate and canary: 52 check-runs pass, four intentional skips, Snyk passes. Fresh Greptile check `111132956342` is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. Source-specific deterministic tests do not substitute for the bounded live comparison. - Earlier native source `9138f570c341c251a5727c32d6615ce238bc8e03` is archived. Its [complete reduced-manual-context report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/9138f570c341c251a5727c32d6615ce238bc8e03/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-live-comparison.md) remains intact, including original failures, grader limits and provider-free replay. It is not current-master-context qualification. ## Risks Changed tool text can change model behavior. The completed six-pair qualification shows no extra failing outcomes in this bounded trial; other tasks and repeated-run variance remain unmeasured. Observable final ordering does not prove provider feedback consumption. Public evidence can fail closed if a provider does not expose the required result sequence. This slice does not remove native fixed prompts or measure general coding quality. No database, schema, permission or legacy completion changes occur. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with code inspection, execution and tool use. The exact deployment ID and context-window size are not exposed in this session. They are unavailable rather than inferred from the model menu. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>	2026-10-03 06:20:38 -05:00
