Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 abc270ee4c fix(runner): attest upstream releases and bind ACPX uniformly for every harness (#18325)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native ACPX runs admit a provider only when its saved profile and
`commandDigest` match the current profile exactly.
> - For Copilot, Grok and Pi, `commandDigest` hashed dozens of Paperclip
source files. Claude, Codex, Cursor and Antigravity hash only their
upstream release.
> - Any change to a bound source therefore advanced these profiles.
#18212 alone moved Copilot from v88 to v91 and Grok from v15 to v19.
Each bump reset in-flight sessions and added immutable identity fixtures
(about 160 on master).
> - #18237 added the provider pack `contractDigest`, which now guards
Runner source compatibility at the pack boundary.
> - This pull request changes the Copilot, Grok and Pi digests to
upstream release attestations, as the other providers already use.
> - It also binds the shared ACPX layer the same way for every ACPX
harness: the profile's `acpxVersion` and the pack `contractDigest`,
which now covers the Runner's ACPX patch.
> - The benefit is that Runner source changes no longer reset these
sessions or need new profile versions and fixtures.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18237, #18212, #17972.

**What happened?**

A Runner change that touched a bound source file changed the Copilot,
Grok or Pi `commandDigest`. The author had to advance the profile
version, regenerate an identity fixture and keep every old fixture. On
deploy, saved sessions for that provider failed the exact admission
check and started fresh.

**Expected behavior**

A provider's `commandDigest` changes only when its upstream release
changes: an upstream version, a platform closure, the ACPX patch or the
Grok launcher. Runner source compatibility is the job of the pack
`contractDigest`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On master, change a comment in `src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.ts`.
2. Run `node packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/grok-profile-identity.mjs
--check`.
3. The check fails. The Grok profile must advance, and the next deploy
resets Grok sessions.

## What Changed

- Add `packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/acpx-release-attestations.mjs`.
It computes the release attestation for each provider:
- Copilot and Pi: a canonical-JSON hash of the profile version, upstream
package versions and the platform closure pins (Pi also binds its Node
version).
- Grok: the SHA-256 of `launcher.cjs`. Admission already hashes these
bytes.
- The attestation binds no Paperclip source, shared ACPX layer, absolute
path, pack manifest digest or install layout.
- Bind the shared ACPX layer once for every ACPX harness (Claude, Codex,
Copilot, Cursor, Grok, Pi, Antigravity):
- Add the Runner's ACPX patch (`patches/acpx@<runner acpx
version>.patch`) to the pack `contractDigest`. A patch change now
retires older image packs for every harness. Other packages' ACPX
patches are not read. A build context without the Runner's patch fails.
- Remove the ACPX patch hash from Cursor's release declaration
(`cursor-contract.json`) and advance Cursor once to profile 17. Copilot,
Pi and Cursor no longer bind ACPX in their own digests, like Claude,
Codex, Grok and Antigravity.
- Saved inputs for every harness already must match the current
`acpxVersion`.
  - Claude and Codex digests do not change.
- `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs` writes these digests to
`acpx-profiles.json`. `check:acpx-profiles` refuses a stale digest.
- Move the Copilot closure pins to `copilot-closure-pins.ts`, so that
the generator can import them. `copilot-installation.ts` re-exports
them.
- Advance each profile once and then freeze it: Copilot 92, Grok 20, Pi
37. A version change at the switch keeps the rollout on the same path as
every earlier profile bump.
- Replace the historical version lists in `profile-compatibility.ts`
with a range. Every revision from 1 through the current one decodes.
Claude and Codex still decode revisions 1 through 5. Launch and recovery
admission still require the exact current profile and digest.
- Delete:
- `scripts/copilot-profile-identity.mjs`,
`scripts/grok-profile-identity.mjs` and its test
  - the Grok launcher source stamp
- 159 Copilot, Grok and Pi identity fixtures, including three
unreferenced `copilot-mainline-v*` fixtures. The Cursor fixtures stay.
- Rewrite the affected tests as behaviour checks:
- Each provider admits only the exact current profile. Every earlier
version decodes and is refused at admission.
- The last source-bound digests, and a changed digest at the current
version, are refused by recovery and by the backend factory.
- The Rust Pi descriptor test uses the generated profile instead of
fixtures.
- New `acpx-release-attestations.test.mjs`: a relocated copy of the
inputs gives the same digests, each upstream input changes only its own
providers, and the generator refreshes and checks the manifest.
- Remove the fixture exceptions from `.dockerignore`. Add the
attestation script and the generator to the Daytona image content
inputs.
- Update the Pi install probe and the Rust integration constant for the
new Pi digest.
- Update the docs to describe the current attestation model:
`doc/grok-native-runner.md`, `doc/RUNNER-INTEGRATION-PLAYBOOK.md`,
`doc/observability.md`,
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md`, and the Copilot,
Pi and rich ACP architecture reports. Each report now opens with the
current profile identity; earlier source-bound profiles remain as dated
chronology. No doc references a deleted file.

## Verification

- In `packages/paperclip-runner`:
- `node --test scripts/acpx-release-attestations.test.mjs
scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs`: 19 tests pass,
including a Runner ACPX patch edit that changes the contract digest,
other patch edits (including `acpx@0.12.0` for `adapter-utils`) that do
not, and a build context without the patch that fails.
  - `node scripts/generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check` passes.
- `vitest run src/drivers/acpx src/backends src/contracts`: 1647 tests
pass, 9 skipped.
  - `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` passes.
- From the repository root, `vitest run --config
tests/runner-e2e/vitest.config.ts
tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts`: 11 tests pass.
- In `server`, the 8 test files that use ACPX profiles, pack digests or
`contractDigest`: 1617 tests pass.
- Not run locally: the Rust tests and `cargo fmt`, because this machine
has no Rust toolchain. CI runs them.
- Before this change, a synthetic upgrade check built two Runner
revisions that differ only in shared source. A Claude checkpoint saved
under the first revision rebinds under the second, and a changed Claude
`commandDigest` starts fresh. This confirms that the provider JSON has
no other build-dependent field.

## Risks

- **One reset at rollout.** The Copilot, Grok, Pi and Cursor digests and
versions change once. Saved sessions for these providers start fresh on
their next run, as after any earlier profile bump. After this change,
Runner source changes no longer cause this reset.
- **Lost "source changed, so requalify" signal.** The old digest forced
a new profile version when bound source changed. Nothing enforced
requalification: Copilot was last qualified at v47. Pack-boundary
contract changes are now caught by the pack `contractDigest`.
- **Image packs are retired once for every provider.** Adding the ACPX
patch changes the pack `contractDigest`, so the controller uploads its
bundled pack (about 16 s per remote start) until images are refreshed.
Claude and Codex sessions are not reset: their digests and versions do
not change.
- **Grok launcher and closure pins.** The Grok digest covers only the
launcher bytes. Grok's runtime version is still checked separately at
admission, as before.
- **Grok digest equals early Grok profiles.** The launcher bytes have
not changed since profile 1, so the new Grok digest equals the published
profile 1 digest. The profile version still separates them: launch,
recovery and the backend factory require profile 20. An image pack from
that period has no `contractDigest`, so the pack gate refuses it.
`remote-provider-pack-verification.test.ts` now covers this case.
- **Docker context checks** run `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check`,
which now imports `.ts` pin files through Node type stripping.
`materialize-pi-distribution.mjs` already relies on this on Node 24.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use
(shell, file edits, local test runs).

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 fa760dbce4 fix(runner): reuse image packs only with matching contract digest (#18237)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote native runs use a provider pack. The controller reuses a
protected pack from the sandbox image when the pack is compatible.
> - #17749 gates this reuse on a hand-maintained interface revision in
`provider-pack-contract.json`.
> - Later changes altered the runner/pack boundary (#17922, #18188), but
nobody bumped the revision. A stale Claude or Codex image pack can still
be reused across a sidecar contract change. This is the failure class of
#17972.
> - A manual revision has a "forgot to bump" failure mode. Source-byte
hashes change on every refactor, so they are too brittle.
> - This pull request declares the sidecar `session.open` contract in
its JSON schema and computes a contract digest from the JSON contracts
and Rust shapes.
> - Image-pack reuse now requires an equal digest.
> - The benefit is that an incidental change keeps image packs reusable,
and a real contract change retires them automatically.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17749, #17972, #17922, #18188.

**What happened?**

The controller reused an image provider pack when `compatibility.acpx`
and the selected agent's profile digest matched. For Claude and Codex,
that profile digest binds only the upstream executable. The ACPX
interface revision stayed at 1 after later sidecar contract changes. A
pack built before those changes passed the reuse check.

**Expected behavior**

The controller reuses an image pack only when the pack uses the same
runner/pack contracts as the controller's bundled pack. Comments,
formatting and refactors do not change that result.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Build an image pack from a commit before a sidecar input change, such
as a new `session.open` field.
2. Run a controller from a later commit that sends the new field, with
the same interface revision and Claude version.
3. Before this fix, `verifyRemoteProviderPack` accepts the old image
pack.

## What Changed

- Declare the sidecar `session.open` parameter set as a closed
`sessionOpenParams` definition in `acpx-sidecar.schema.json`.
- `generate-acpx-sidecar-contract.mjs` now generates
`GENERATED_ACPX_SIDECAR_OPEN_PARAMS` from it.
- `parseOpenParams` uses the generated list instead of an inline `Set`.
The accepted set is unchanged.
- This is the surface of #17972. The schema is now its source of truth.
- Declare the nested `session.open` contracts that the sidecar parses
strictly:
- `protocol/provider-schemas/runtime-context.schema.json` closes every
runtime context object. `parseNativeRuntimeContext` uses the field lists
that `scripts/generate-runtime-context-contract.mjs` generates from it.
- The sidecar schema declares the closed `providerPolicy` object, and
`parseProviderPolicy` uses its generated field list.
  - The accepted fields do not change.
- Add
`packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.mjs`.
It fingerprints these contracts:
  - the PRP and sidecar JSON schemas, with annotation text removed
  - the generated catalogs in `generated/`
- the Rust serde shapes, `json!` payload keys, match literals and env
keys in `runner-core/src`, without test-only modules
  - the reserved env key lists in `configured_environment.rs`
- Read only the trees that every pack build context contains. Fail when
a registered source is missing, so two build contexts cannot silently
produce different digests.
- Use only Node built-ins. The registry adds no dependency.
- Write `contractDigest` as a top-level payload field in
`build-provider-pack.mjs`. The manifest digest algorithm and the
existing field layout do not change.
- Require an equal `contractDigest` for image-pack reuse in
`remote-provider-pack-verification.ts`. A pack without a digest is not
reused. The controller uploads its bundled pack, as it does today for
any incompatible pack.
- Re-attest the source-hashed profiles, because this PR changes their
bound sidecar sources:
- Grok becomes profile 15 and now also binds the generated allowlist, so
a Grok field change in the schema still invalidates the Grok identity.
- Copilot becomes profile 88, and also binds the generated runtime
context fields.
  - Earlier profiles stay decodable.
- Add the registry script and `generated/` to the Daytona image content
inputs.
- Document the digest and the schema-first rule in
`docker/daytona-runner/README.md` and `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs` (in
`packages/paperclip-runner`): 4 tests pass.
  - These changes keep the digest:
    - schema description text
    - schema reformatting
    - renaming `parseOpenParams`
    - Rust comments, `#[serde(skip)]` fields and `#[cfg(test)]` modules
- edits to the `#[path]` test module `tests/provider_api_validation.rs`
  - These changes alter the digest:
    - a new `session.open` schema field
    - a changed constraint on the `remainingWork[].description` property
    - a new reserved env key
    - a new sidecar env key
    - a new checkpoint field
  - A build context without a registered source fails.
- `node --test test/acpx-sidecar-contract.test.mjs`: 13 tests pass. A
new case rejects an unknown `session.open` parameter and accepts each
declared parameter.
- `node --test scripts/grok-profile-identity.test.mjs`: 4 tests pass. A
change to the Grok field in the generated allowlist invalidates the Grok
identity.
- `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check`,
`generate-acpx-sidecar-contract.mjs --check` and
`generate-protocol-manifest.mjs --check` pass.
- Runner vitest suites pass: 470 passed, 1 skipped. They cover the
sidecar, sidecar input and protocol, Copilot and Pi installation,
profile compatibility, native execution, recovery identity, the backend
factory and the environment.
- Server tests: pack verification, executor and artifact preparation
pass (1,004 tests).
- `tsc --noEmit` passes for `packages/paperclip-runner` and `server`.
- `tests/runner-e2e/daytona-image.test.ts`: 10 of 11 tests pass. The
failing test also fails on `master`. It expects a literal
`profile-v19-identity.json` line in `.dockerignore`, which uses a
`profile-v*` glob.
- Not run locally:
- A complete `build-provider-pack.mjs` run. The builder rejects the
local Homebrew Node because it is not portable after relocation.
- Rust tests and `acpx-controller-recovery.test.ts`, because `cargo` is
not installed.
  - The full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build`.

## Risks

- Only JSON contracts and Rust shapes are part of the digest. The
remaining TypeScript-only definitions are the `paperclip_finish` and
`paperclip_block` tool schemas in `completion-result.ts` and the
TypeScript env key lists. They are not covered until they move into a
schema. The nested `expectedIdentity` and `tools` values ignore unknown
fields, so a change there cannot cause a startup rejection.
- A change there can let a stale image pack be reused. The sidecar then
rejects the input with its strict parser error.
  - Today, Claude and Codex image packs have no contract check at all.
- The digest covers all registered contracts for the whole pack. A
contract change for one provider kind also retires image packs for the
other. Each replacement costs about 16 s per remote start until the
image is refreshed.
- Existing image packs have no digest. After deploy, the controller
uploads its bundled pack until the image is rebuilt.
- The Grok and Copilot re-attestations start fresh sessions for those
agents once after deploy, as each profile bump does today.
- The Daytona image content ID formula changes, so the next image build
does not reuse a cached image.

DottaandPaperclip 356c7de9b7 fix(runner): bind Grok packs to current admission source (#17972)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their work.
> - Native agents use verified Runner and provider-pack artifacts.
> - A protected installed pack can be reused when its selected provider
profile matches.
> - Grok kept profile 1 when its sidecar gained effort, search, and
startup diagnostics.
> - An older Grok sidecar can therefore pass compatibility and reject
the new session fields before provider startup.
> - This PR binds the current Grok profile to its admission source so a
fresh run selects the current verified pack.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17922, #17942, #17962. Related installation contract: #14024. No
duplicate repair was found.

**What happened?**

The selected Grok profile digest stayed unchanged across native session
contract changes. The installed-pack verifier correctly compared that
digest, but the unchanged value let a pre-effort sidecar satisfy a
current controller. That old parser rejects `grokEffort` and
`grokDisableWebSearch` before the new startup diagnostics run.

**Expected behavior**

A fresh Grok run must use a pack that supports its current session
contract. Source-only app changes must still permit warm reuse when the
selected Grok profile matches. Reattachment must keep its exact admitted
artifact authority.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Retain a protected pack with published Grok profile 1 and ACPX
interface 1.
2. Upgrade the controller to the native effort and search contract.
3. Start Grok 4.7 with High effort and disabled web search.
4. The old profile passes installed-pack compatibility, but its sidecar
rejects the new fields.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from master at `09ad9adce2cf4742944353a3707a2f908e9bb35e`.

## What Changed

- Advance Grok to profile 7. Keep historical versions 1–6 decodable and
keep the Grok 1.0.13 runtime pin.
- Stamp the Grok admission source identity into a generated launcher
comment. Keep the existing physical command-byte digest check unchanged.
Bind effort/search/credential handling, sidecar admission, and Rust
backend/session/diagnostic source.
- Check the source attestation in the existing TypeScript/Rust profile
build gate. Keep its required fixture in the Docker context. Refuse to
overwrite a versioned identity after source changes.
- Add regression coverage for rejecting the old pack, current-profile
warm reuse, exact historical recovery authority, and actual sidecar
dispatch of Grok 4.7 High with both search policies.
- Re-attest Copilot as profile 71 because its bound shared recovery
decoder now retains Grok 6. Preserve Copilot 70 and all earlier
identities. Keep the compatibility algorithm, other provider identities,
dependencies, lockfile, and workflows unchanged.

## Verification

- The production installed-pack regression failed before the profile
update: the old Grok pack was accepted. It now passes.
- 105 server manifest, artifact, archive, and authority tests passed.
- 246 Runner profile, physical launcher integrity, Grok
effort/search/credential, and actual sidecar process tests passed; six
existing platform cases were skipped.
- 31 Node packaging and identity tests passed, including an actual
generator CLI regression that preserves all authority files when a
versioned identity would change.
- 55 Rust ACPX unit tests and 17 real sidecar pipe tests passed. After
the final profile declaration, all 55 unit checks passed again.
- Final `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed at the final source.
- CI on the preceding head caught Copilot’s stale attestation for the
shared recovery decoder. The same current-source test failed locally,
then passed after profile 71 was generated with version 70 retained. All
106 affected Copilot/profile checks pass. Final head
`78e6d76fc52f492371e15574482b3641735a6d89` passed the full CI workflow;
the failed prior job log is retained.
- Review follow-up: mutating the Rust backend’s actual Grok descriptor
field left the prior identity unchanged. This regression failed before
binding `acpx_provider_backend.rs` and passes afterward. Profile 7
retains the prior versioned fixture and recovery decoder. All 179
affected Runner checks and 75 focused server pack/manifest checks passed
after this change.
- `pnpm test:run` hit the recorded embedded PostgreSQL bootstrap failure
after five attempts. The full run also exposed a current-release fixture
with the historical Grok digest; it now reads the current profile. Its
11 focused manifest tests now pass. The failed local run log is
retained; final exact-head CI passed.
- The same filtered-context Docker build that failed CI now passes
locally after adding its required source fixture.
- A separate probe used the built sidecar in a private HOME with no
credentials. It admitted the current profile and the new Grok fields,
then returned the closed working-directory rejection before provider
launch or inference.
- A historical parser probe reproduced the pre-effort sidecar rejection.
These probes establish the contract boundary; they do not establish
native subscription task acceptance.
- Initial restricted local ownership tests failed because loopback
listeners were denied. The same tests passed with loopback access. One
new dispatcher fixture first lacked required instructions; the completed
request passed. These setup failures are retained in local evidence.
- Live native task acceptance remains pending deployment. Earlier
deployed attempts failed before tool output. No successful native shell
proof is claimed.

- Final exact-head merge gate: all 62 contexts are clean (57 success,
four intentional skips, one informational neutral formal review).
Greptile and Paperclip reviews are both 5/5, with no unresolved
actionable threads. The formal review uses the existing report-only
neutral policy.

## Risks

- The first fresh Grok run after upgrade may need to stage the current
provider pack. Matching current profiles keep their existing reuse path.
- Fresh admission rejects older Grok profile identities. Historical
decoding and exact reattachment authority remain separate; this change
does not reinterpret an old identity or replace an active session's
pack.
- Future changes to bound source require a new Grok profile attestation.
The build gate fails if the checked-in identity is stale.
- Model, effort, search, credential, approval, and retry policy are
unchanged.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 39e811c9c5 fix(runner): prepare diagnostic proxy and reduce bundled skill queries (#17941)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native turns reconcile company skills and select verified remote
runtime packs.
> - Catalog imports repeat folder transactions for skills in the same
bundled category.
> - Diagnostic requests can also reuse an older image proxy that lacks
the phase collector.
> - This pull request reuses categories within one import and selects
the current proxy for fresh diagnostics.
> - Each import has its own category map, and recovery keeps its
admitted runtime identity.
> - The result is less preparation work and a runtime that can provide
the requested measurements.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17918.

**What happened?**

A hosted run retained `PAPERCLIP_OPENCODE_PERFORMANCE_DIAGNOSTICS=1` but
emitted no provider phase batch. Its saved pack authority selected an
older image proxy. The deployed server proxy contained the collector.
The image proxy did not. Bundled inventory reconciliation also repeats
folder transactions for skills in the same category. The paired local
benchmark exposes that preparation cost.

**Expected behavior**

A fresh diagnostic request must use a verified proxy that supports the
current collector. Bundled skill reconciliation should resolve each
category once per import.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a protected image pack with the same OpenCode interface revision
and an older proxy hash.
2. Enable `PAPERCLIP_OPENCODE_PERFORMANCE_DIAGNOSTICS=1` for a fresh
remote run.
3. Observe that the current backend accepts the older proxy and cannot
emit the requested phase batch.

## What Changed

- Reuse each bundled category during one import. Every skill still runs
its existing validation, access lookup, value comparison, and write
path.
- Compare the installed proxy hash with the current build when a fresh
run requests diagnostics.
- Keep compatible-pack reuse for ordinary runs and exact admitted
identity for recovery.
- Cover selection through the real backend, including recovery after
diagnostics are enabled.
- Document runtime preparation costs and admission limits for diagnostic
requests.

The skill importer owns category reuse. The provider verifier owns the
artifact comparison. The native backend passes the resolved diagnostic
requirement at the existing admission seam. The changes stay in those
existing owners and share one latency investigation and rollout.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the new verifier and backend cases failed because both
accepted a stale proxy.
- After the fix, 63 focused cases passed in 8.10 seconds. They cover
normal reuse, current diagnostic proxy selection, stale proxy rejection,
selected ACPX profiles, and admitted recovery identity.
- 110 skill and folder service cases passed against isolated real
PostgreSQL databases. Only cluster bootstrap used the existing local
PostgreSQL service. Queries, migrations, authorization, file handling,
and transactions ran on their real paths.
- A paired benchmark used the same immutable skill snapshot,
authenticated actor, 170-skill inventory, and 3.5 ms delay in each
network direction. It checked every delivered file and executable bit.
Warm median fell from 3.319 s to 2.482 s (25.2%). SQL calls fell by 81
in each matched sample, from 241–243 to 160–162. The bundled phase
median fell from 2.596 s to 1.721 s. The final measurement uses commit
`37eac8d8de`; only the skill importer differs from baseline
`7951455073`. These local results are not hosted acceptance.
- `pnpm -r --workspace-concurrency=1 typecheck` passed with the pinned
pnpm 9.15.4 and a 6 GiB Node heap. Earlier attempts exposed a subprocess
toolchain mismatch, a local IPC restriction, and a fixture type error.
Each was corrected before the passing run.
- Module boundary and whitespace checks passed.
- `pnpm build` passed for all workspaces.
- `pnpm test:run` did not complete. Embedded PostgreSQL initialization
failed after repeated startup attempts. The owned test subtree was
stopped after preserving the failure log. This is not a full local test
pass. On final commit `37eac8d8de`, all 53 successful check contexts
passed; two optional Storybook checks were skipped. Greptile is 5/5 with
no unresolved findings. The draft awaits merge approval.
- The catalog change has a measured local gain. The proxy change fixes
missing phase capture. Real hosted response latency remains above the
target and needs a new matched measurement after delivery.

## Risks

The category map belongs to one import and one company. The importer
still resolves current skill data on every invocation.

Fresh diagnostic runs can prepare a current verified pack, which can add
startup time. Admission can fail when matching runtime assets are
unavailable. Ordinary runs keep the existing fast compatibility path.
Recovery keeps the already admitted identity, even if diagnostics are
enabled later. The operator endpoint gate, collector limits, and closed
span fields are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, shell execution,
browser tools, and Honeycomb queries. The session does not expose a
verifiable backend deployment ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 9ae4c25e7e perf(runner): reuse compatible protected provider packs (#17749)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner starts provider runtimes in remote execution
environments.
> - Sandbox images already contain qualified provider packs.
> - Startup required the image pack to match the entire current app
release manifest.
> - An unrelated app commit could therefore cause pack verification,
transfer, and installation again.
> - This pull request selects protected packs by their provider
interface and platform.
> - The benefit is no extra pack probe, directory scan, version command,
link, or upload on the compatible image path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Starting a remote task can reject a compatible image pack because its
source revision or unrelated provider differs from the controller. Pack
replacement added about 16 seconds in the investigated startup. Startup
also repeated full content checks.

**Expected behavior**

Use an already qualified, protected pack when its selected provider
interface and target platform are compatible. Keep the selected artifact
identity for process launch and recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Install a qualified provider pack in a sandbox image.
2. Start a controller built from another app commit.
3. Start a remote OpenCode task. The old complete-manifest comparison
rejects the image pack even when the provider interface still works.

Related repairs: #16493 reduced transfer cost. #17512 retained exact
artifact authority during reattachment. This change preserves that
recovery rule and changes fresh-launch pack selection.

## What Changed

- Add explicit OpenCode and ACPX interface revisions to produced pack
manifests. App Git SHAs and dependency pins remain provenance.
- Read bounded protected-installation metadata in the existing final
runner metadata query. Accept only root-owned paths that the execution
user cannot write, including ancestors and manifest. Reject writable
aliases.
- Select and prepare the pack in server-owned environment setup before
constructing the existing transport. Bind provider launch paths and
digests from the selected installation. Save that identity for exact
reattachment.
- Keep full content verification for uploads, writable installations,
and legacy packs. Reuse successful verification within one startup. Keep
older attached runners compatible with the optional metadata request.
- Seal image packs and document the one-time image refresh that enables
reuse across later compatible releases. Keep selected ACPX agent
qualification checks.

## Verification

- Red/green regression: the old code rejects a protected pack from
another app revision with `manifest mismatch`; the fixed path selects it
without executing verification commands.
- Native startup regression: select the installed pack's own Node digest
with one existing runner metadata request and no pack verification or
version commands.
- Targeted pack, artifact, recovery, execution-driver, and Rust metadata
tests pass. Incompatible interfaces/platforms, malformed identities,
writable roots, path aliases, and exact reattachment are covered.
- Final revision `91dc1676ff67bdbe5866c8586daac10240530cca`: workspace
typecheck and build pass. All 53 current-head checks are successful,
with no pending or failed checks. Greptile is 5/5 with no open findings.
- The broad local `pnpm test:run` attempt reported a workspace-runtime
conflict test failure; its isolated rerun passed. The broad run was
stopped after that failure. Full CI now passes, including the server
test shards. This is not a claim that the full local run passed.
- Linux filesystem evidence: the production metadata functions read a
real root-owned preinstalled pack as a non-root user in 16 microseconds
median and 20 microseconds p95 across 100 warm reads. This measures
metadata admission, not model or hosted response latency.
- All 910 affected server tests and 57 Copilot attestation tests pass
locally on the final implementation. Full CI covers the unchanged Runner
transport. No provider qualification hash was refreshed.
- Built the actual Linux daemon at
`416e7ec7425d0d3565b4a5e1808002d650a60414` and ran its metadata command
as UID 65534. The protected installation returned its real manifest with
`immutable: true`; writable alias and missing-pack cases returned
`immutable: false`. This is metadata/permission evidence, not provider
execution.
- Hosted rollout and a hosted end-to-end latency measurement have not
run.

## Risks

- Existing images need one rebuild to publish the compatibility
declaration. Packs without it keep the legacy content-verification path.
- Fast admission relies on image publication producing a qualified
protected tree. Root execution and task-writable installations retain
full verification.
- Bump an interface revision when required runner/pack behavior changes
incompatibly. Deploy a new image to roll out compatible runtime fixes or
upgrades.
- This removes provider-pack preparation delay. Other runner startup,
context, model, and finalization costs remain separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, configured model `gpt-6.1-sol`, reasoning effort `xhigh`,
with tool use and code execution. The context-window size is not exposed
in this session.
