DottaandPaperclip 4e00818574 fix(runtime): support in-place workspace realization (#10230)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane people use to coordinate AI agents
and their execution environments.
> - Environment realization decides where an agent runs and which
filesystem and toolchain are authoritative.
> - Copy-based realization is unsafe for container-anchored tasks
because absolute paths such as `/app` can point outside the synchronized
tree and task-specific binaries may be absent.
> - That mismatch can let an agent successfully verify work in a phantom
writable path while sync-back silently discards the result.
> - Existing task environments already provide the authoritative
filesystem and toolchain, so they should be executed in place rather
than copied.
> - Copy mode still needs explicit confinement rules so aliases target
the synchronized workspace and unsynchronized writable paths fail
visibly.
> - This pull request adds typed realization metadata, propagates the
authoritative root through orchestration, and teaches Codex to honor it.
> - The benefit is that container-anchored tasks operate on
verifier-visible state with the intended tools, while copy mode remains
safe and backward compatible.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this defect.

GitHub duplicate searches for in-place execution, workspace realization,
and authoritative workspace roots found no related pull request to link.

### What happened?

Environment-backed agent runs were always realized through a copied
workspace. Tasks anchored to absolute container paths could therefore
write outside the synchronized tree, and task-provided toolchains were
unavailable in the copy. A run could report success even though
sync-back discarded its output.

### Expected behavior

Existing task environments should run against their real authoritative
root and toolchain. Copy-mode runs should map declared absolute aliases
into the synchronized tree and reject writable paths that cannot be
restored.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run a Codex task environment whose required files live under `/app`
or `/workspace` and whose required binary exists only in the task
container.
2. Observe that copy realization changes the effective
filesystem/toolchain or permits writes outside the synchronized root.
3. Complete and verify the task inside the agent sandbox.
4. Observe that the verifier cannot see out-of-tree artifacts or that
task-specific commands were unavailable.

### Reproduction context

- Paperclip commit: `3a16b91217483d2c233926de5b7f7bc3a1077924`
- Deployment: built from source in a task-container execution
environment
- Adapter: Codex local
- Database: not database-related
- Access context: agent execution

## What Changed

- Added typed `copy | in_place` workspace-realization metadata,
authoritative roots, confined aliases, and outbound restore paths to
shared execution-target contracts.
- Selected in-place realization for existing task environments and
skipped archive prepare/restore when the authoritative environment is
used directly.
- Propagated the authoritative root into adapter context so Codex uses
it for cwd and `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_*` semantics, including ACP
execution.
- Bound copy-mode aliases such as `/app` to the synchronized workspace
and rejected writable out-of-tree paths without explicit restore
mappings.
- Added focused regression coverage while preserving existing copy-mode
archive restore behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/local-process-sandbox.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts` — 48 passed,
4 skipped.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -u
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN pnpm test:run` — passed across all general and
serialized Vitest shards.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Codex `k=1` acceptance run completed July 24, 2026 at 23:54:30 UTC
with 4 completed, 0 exceptions, and mean reward 1.0: `build-cython-ext`,
`openssl-selfsigned-cert`, `prove-plus-comm`, and `sqlite-db-truncate`
each received terminal grade 1.0 against real task-environment paths and
toolchains.

## Risks

- In-place mode deliberately exposes the authoritative task root to the
adapter; incorrect environment metadata could point execution at the
wrong root. Typed metadata and focused orchestration tests cover
selection and propagation.
- Copy-mode writable-path validation is stricter and may reject
previously accepted unsafe configurations. The rejection is intentional
and produces a visible error instead of silently losing output.
- The acceptance run is focused on four Codex task-environment
workloads, not a broad cross-adapter benchmark. Existing copy-mode
archive tests and the full repository suite remain green.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex CLI coding agent; exact model ID and context-window size
were not exposed to this runtime. Capabilities used: extended reasoning,
repository editing, shell execution, test/build execution, Git, GitHub
CLI, and Paperclip API tool use.

7985c1e000 refactor(codex-local): stage an allowlist for sandbox CODEX_HOME sync (#9972)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents for work; agents can run in remote
sandboxes via the codex-local adapter
> - When a remote sandbox run starts, the codex-local adapter syncs the
host CODEX_HOME directory into the sandbox so Codex can authenticate and
load its configuration
> - The old approach staged the entire CODEX_HOME and relied on a 4-name
denylist (`tmp`, `.tmp`, `sessions`, `shell_snapshots`) to exclude
unnecessary state
> - The denylist was too narrow: large host-local runtime files
(`logs_2.sqlite`, `plugins/`, etc.) still uploaded on every remote run —
state the sandbox never uses
> - Additionally, `config.toml` (which embeds the managed MCP
`Authorization: Bearer …` header) was staged at 0644, relying solely on
the staging directory's 0700 permission for protection — a
credential-bearing file without per-file least-privilege
> - This pull request replaces the denylist with an explicit allowlist:
only `{auth.json, config.toml, config.json, instructions.md, skills/}`
are staged into a private `0700` temp dir; all staged regular files are
written `0600` (fail-closed on any staging error)
> - The fix is adapter-local to `packages/adapters/codex-local` with
zero changes to the shared `packages/adapter-utils` seam; inbound
auth-merge and outbound copy-back are preserved unchanged

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue for this specific bug. Describing the problem
directly:

**Bug:** The codex-local remote sandbox sync uploads more CODEX_HOME
content than the sandbox uses, and stages a credential-bearing file with
an over-permissive mode.

- **What happened:** The codex-local adapter synced the entire
CODEX_HOME directory minus four directory names (`tmp`, `.tmp`,
`sessions`, `shell_snapshots`). Large host-local runtime artifacts — a
SQLite write-ahead log that can reach 420 MB, plugin directories, crash
logs — uploaded on every remote run. `config.toml` (which embeds the
managed MCP `Authorization: Bearer …` header) was staged at `0644`; only
the staging temp dir's `0700` mode prevented broader exposure.
- **Expected behavior:** Only the files Codex needs inside the sandbox
should sync: `auth.json`, `config.toml`, `config.json`,
`instructions.md`, and `skills/`. All staged regular files should use
mode `0600` (single-layer credential protection is insufficient for
secret-bearing files).
- **Steps to reproduce:** Run a remote codex sandbox from a host with a
mature CODEX_HOME. Observe the sync payload includes `sessions/`,
`*.sqlite`, `plugins/`, etc.

Related work: Refs #9621 (outbound auth sync-back in the same
codex-local adapter area; this PR covers the inbound staging direction)

## What Changed

- New `stageCodexHomeForSync(codexHomeDir)` helper in
`packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/codex-home.ts` stages only
allowlisted files into a fresh `fs.mkdtemp`-created `0700` temp dir,
then registers that dir as the `home` asset (dropping the old `exclude`
field entirely)
- All staged regular files written with mode `0600` — auth.json holds
single-use OAuth tokens; config.toml embeds MCP bearer headers; least
privilege applies throughout
- Symlinks dereferenced to resolved file bytes (`auth.json` single-use
token, each `skills/` entry land as real files)
- Missing-but-optional allowlist entries skipped silently (keyring-only
mode with no `auth.json`; absent `config.json`)
- Staged temp dir removed on teardown AND on error; staging is
fail-closed — a staging error aborts the run rather than shipping a
partial CODEX_HOME
- `execute.ts` updated to call `stageCodexHomeForSync` instead of the
old whole-dir + denylist path; the `exclude` field is removed from the
`home` asset
- Adapter-local fix: zero diff to `packages/adapter-utils` (shared
managed-runtime seam untouched); inbound auth-merge (`provision`) and
outbound copy-back (`restore`) preserved unchanged

## Verification

```sh
# Full codex-local test suite
npx vitest run packages/adapters/codex-local
# 174/174 pass

# Shared seam regression — must be zero diff to packages/adapter-utils
npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils
# 14/14 pass; zero changes to packages/adapter-utils source

# TypeScript (both packages)
npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapters/codex-local/tsconfig.json
npx tsc --noEmit -p packages/adapter-utils/tsconfig.json
# Both clean
```

Key new test coverage
(`packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/codex-home.test.ts`):

- Stager copies exactly the allowlisted entries and nothing else
- Staged `auth.json` dereferenced from symlink and written mode `0600`
- Staged temp dir created with mode `0700`
- ALL staged regular files mode `0600`, including `config.toml` carrying
an MCP bearer token (regression test fails against the pre-fix `0644`
path)
- Fail-closed: I/O error during staging removes the temp dir and
re-throws
- Missing-but-optional entries (`config.json`) skipped without error
- Dangling symlink entries skipped without error

Execute-path integration test (`execute.remote.test.ts`): home asset
uses staged dir; staged config preserves provider block; skills survive;
staged temp dir removed after run teardown.

## Risks

- **Allowlist narrower than denylist:** Any CODEX_HOME file not in
`{auth.json, config.toml, config.json, instructions.md, skills/}` is now
excluded. If a codex-local configuration stores additional files in
CODEX_HOME that the sandbox requires, those runs will miss that state.
This tradeoff is intentional — only known-necessary files sync.
- **Permission change:** `config.toml` previously staged at `0644`, now
staged at `0600`. Strictly more restrictive; no known behavioral impact
(the sandbox reads as the file owner). This was the security gap that
motivated the fix.
- **Fail-closed staging:** A staging error (disk full, temp dir creation
failed) now aborts the run rather than falling back to the raw
CODEX_HOME. This is the safer behavior, but it changes the failure mode
from "run with potentially wrong state" to "run aborted cleanly."

Devin FoleyandPaperclip b24c6909e8 Harden remote sandbox runtime probes, timeouts, and installs (#5685)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Each agent runs inside a sandbox environment so its CLI is isolated
from the host
> - Sandbox-backed adapter runs go through a small set of shared helpers
— `ensureAdapterExecutionTargetCommandResolvable`, the sandbox callback
bridge runner, and per-adapter `SANDBOX_INSTALL_COMMAND` strings
> - When standing up new sandbox provider plugins, the existing helpers
timed out, missed install fallbacks, or leaned on assumptions that only
held for E2B
> - Local adapters (`claude-local`, `codex-local`, `gemini-local`,
`opencode-local`) needed slightly hardened probes so they could install
themselves and validate inside *any* remote sandbox transport, not just
E2B
> - This pull request bundles those runtime fixes so future sandbox
provider plugins inherit a working baseline
> - The benefit is that adding a new sandbox provider plugin no longer
requires touching adapter-utils or each local-adapter probe — the
supporting infra is already correct

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target.ts`: introduce
`DEFAULT_REMOTE_SANDBOX_ADAPTER_TIMEOUT_SEC = 1800` and
`resolveAdapterExecutionTargetTimeoutSec(...)`. Local and SSH adapters
keep the historical "0 means no adapter timeout" behavior;
sandbox-backed runs without an explicit `timeoutSec` get an explicit
30-minute default so remote installs and warm-up don't time out at the
per-RPC default. Plumbed `timeoutSec` through
`ensureAdapterExecutionTargetCommandResolvable` so install probes inside
a sandbox honor adapter-level overrides instead of the bridge's 5-minute
default.
- `packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/index.ts`: switch
`SANDBOX_INSTALL_COMMAND` from `npm install -g opencode-ai` to `curl
-fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash`. The npm package reifies four
large prebuilt-binary subpackages in parallel even though only one
matches the host arch; on bandwidth-constrained sandboxes that blew
through the 240s install budget. The official installer fetches one
arch-specific binary and adds `$HOME/.opencode/bin` to PATH via
`~/.bashrc`, which the sandbox-callback-bridge login-shell script
already sources.
- `packages/adapters/{claude,codex,gemini,opencode}-local/`: harden
remote-target probes — pass `--skip-git-repo-check` for Codex when
probing outside a repo, normalize permission flags for Claude, and add
`*.remote.test.ts` coverage that exercises the remote-sandbox path
explicitly for each adapter.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-install-command.{ts,test.ts}`
(new): add `buildSandboxNpmInstallCommand` helper.
`server/src/adapters/registry.ts` + new
`server/src/__tests__/adapter-registry.test.ts`: wire adapter install
commands so they fall back to a writable `$HOME/.local` prefix when
global install isn't available.
- `server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager.test.ts` + new
`server/src/__tests__/fixtures/plugin-worker-delayed.cjs`: pin per-call
timeout overrides so plugin worker exec calls honor the caller's timeout
instead of the worker's default.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --no-coverage
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-install-command.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --no-coverage
server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/adapter-registry.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/claude-local-adapter-environment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/claude-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/gemini-local-adapter-environment.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --no-coverage
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/test.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/server/test.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/codex-args.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts`

All passing locally.

## Risks

- Touches shared `adapter-utils` and several `*-local` adapters. The
30-minute default applies only when both (a) the target is
`remote+sandbox` and (b) no `timeoutSec` is configured — local + SSH
paths are unchanged. New test coverage was added alongside each behavior
change to pin the contracts.
- Switching OpenCode's install command to the official installer is a
behavior change for any operator running OpenCode inside a remote
sandbox. Local installs are unaffected (the `SANDBOX_INSTALL_COMMAND`
only runs when an adapter is being installed inside a sandbox).
- Low risk overall — no migrations, no API surface change.

## Model Used

- Provider: Anthropic
- Model: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context)
- Capabilities used: extended reasoning, tool use (Read/Edit/Bash/Grep),
no code execution beyond local repo commands

Devin Foley 12cb7b40fd Harden remote workspace sync and restore flows (#5444)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - When an agent runs against a remote target, Paperclip syncs the
workspace out to the remote at run start and restores changes back to
the local workspace at run end
> - The previous restore flow naïvely overwrote local files with
whatever the remote returned, so files that the remote run never touched
but had timestamp/mode drift could be needlessly rewritten — and a
single static `refs/paperclip/ssh-sync/imported` ref made concurrent SSH
workspace exports race on the same git ref
> - This pull request adds a `workspace-restore-merge` module that diffs
a pre-run snapshot against the post-run remote state and only writes
back files the remote actually changed; SSH workspace exports now use a
per-import unique ref so concurrent runs can't trample each other
> - Every adapter's execute path threads the snapshot through
`prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime` so the merge has the baseline it
needs
> - The benefit is workspace restores no longer churn untouched files,
and concurrent SSH runs no longer collide on the import ref

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/workspace-restore-merge.{ts,test.ts}`: new
module — directory snapshot (kind/mode/sha256/symlink target) plus
snapshot-aware merge that writes only the files the remote changed
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/ssh.ts`: SSH workspace export uses a
per-import unique ref (`refs/paperclip/ssh-sync/imported/<uuid>`);
restore goes through the new merge helper; `ssh-fixture.test.ts` covers
the unique-ref + merge paths
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.ts` +
`remote-managed-runtime.ts`: thread the snapshot/merge through the
sandbox and SSH paths
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.{ts,test.ts}` +
`execution-target.ts`: helpers for capturing the pre-run snapshot;
`prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime` gains required `runId` and
optional `workspaceRemoteDir`, and returns the realized
`workspaceRemoteDir`
- Each adapter's `execute.ts` (acpx, claude, codex, cursor, gemini,
opencode, pi) takes the snapshot at run start and passes it through to
the runtime restore
- Remote execute test mocks updated to match the new
`prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution` return shape and the per-run
`${managedRemoteWorkspace}` cwd subdirectory

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run --no-coverage --project @paperclipai/adapter-utils
--project @paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-claude-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-codex-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-cursor-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-gemini-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-opencode-local --project
@paperclipai/adapter-pi-local` — 196/196 passing
- `pnpm typecheck` clean across the workspace

## Risks

Medium. The restore path now writes a strict subset of what it
previously did — files the remote did not touch are no longer rewritten.
If any flow was relying on a touch-without-content-change being copied
back (timestamp or permission propagation only), that behavior is now
skipped. Snapshot capture adds an O(N-files-in-workspace) hash pass at
run start; the cost is bounded by the existing exclude list. The `runId`
parameter on `prepareAdapterExecutionTargetRuntime` is now required —
every in-tree caller is updated; out-of-tree adapter authors need to
pass it.

actually
>   synced. Every adapter calls it before invoking the remote runner
> - The benefit is that remote runs see the realized remote workspace,
host-local
> paths stop leaking into remote env, and the rule is unit-tested in one
place

## What Changed

- Added `shapePaperclipWorkspaceEnvForExecution` to
  `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts` with full unit coverage
  (`server-utils.test.ts`)
- Each of acpx-local, claude-local, codex-local, cursor-local,
gemini-local,
opencode-local, pi-local now calls the new shaper before issuing the
remote
  command and feeds the shaped values into `applyPaperclipWorkspaceEnv`
- Per-adapter `execute.remote.test.ts` files extended to cover the new
shaping
  behaviour: localhost paths replaced with remote cwd, foreign-cwd hints
  stripped, worktree path nulled out for remote targets
- `acpx-local/src/server/execute.test.ts` extended with shaping coverage

## Verification

- `pnpm test -- server-utils execute.remote`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local test`
- Manual QA reproducing the original failure:
  1. Provision an E2B sandbox environment for the Paperclip QA company
2. Assign an issue to a remote-targeted claude-local agent and confirm
the
run starts in the correct remote cwd (no `/Users/...` path leakage in
the
     run logs)
  3. Repeat for opencode-local and pi-local

## Risks

- Behavioural shift: hints whose `cwd` doesn't match the workspace cwd
are now
stripped on remote targets. If any adapter relied on a leaked local hint
cwd,
it will see a missing `cwd` instead. Reviewed all current callers — none
do.
- Adds a small per-run cost (path resolve + string normalisation) on
every remote
  execution. Negligible.
- Worktree path is now nulled out on remote (it has no meaning there).
Adapters
  that previously read the value defensively will continue to work.

## 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 e4995bbb1c Add SSH environment support (#4358)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The environments subsystem already models execution environments,
but before this branch there was no end-to-end SSH-backed runtime path
for agents to actually run work against a remote box
> - That meant agents could be configured around environment concepts
without a reliable way to execute adapter sessions remotely, sync
workspace state, and preserve run context across supported adapters
> - We also need environment selection to participate in normal
Paperclip control-plane behavior: agent defaults, project/issue
selection, route validation, and environment probing
> - Because this capability is still experimental, the UI surface should
be easy to hide and easy to remove later without undoing the underlying
implementation
> - This pull request adds SSH environment execution support across the
runtime, adapters, routes, schema, and tests, then puts the visible
environment-management UI behind an experimental flag
> - The benefit is that we can validate real SSH-backed agent execution
now while keeping the user-facing controls safely gated until the
feature is ready to come out of experimentation

## What Changed

- Added SSH-backed execution target support in the shared adapter
runtime, including remote workspace preparation, skill/runtime asset
sync, remote session handling, and workspace restore behavior after
runs.
- Added SSH execution coverage for supported local adapters, plus remote
execution tests across Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenCode, and Pi.
- Added environment selection and environment-management backend support
needed for SSH execution, including route/service work, validation,
probing, and agent default environment persistence.
- Added CLI support for SSH environment lab verification and updated
related docs/tests.
- Added the `enableEnvironments` experimental flag and gated the
environment UI behind it on company settings, agent configuration, and
project configuration surfaces.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/pi-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/new-agent-hire-payload.test.ts
ui/src/lib/new-agent-runtime-config.test.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Manual verification on a branch-local dev server:
  - enabled the experimental flag
  - created an SSH environment
  - created a Linux Claude agent using that environment
- confirmed a run executed on the Linux box and synced workspace changes
back

## Risks

- Medium: this touches runtime execution flow across multiple adapters,
so regressions would likely show up in remote session setup, workspace
sync, or environment selection precedence.
- The UI flag reduces exposure, but the underlying runtime and route
changes are still substantial and rely on migration correctness.
- The change set is broad across adapters, control-plane services,
migrations, and UI gating, so review should pay close attention to
environment-selection precedence and remote workspace lifecycle
behavior.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip's local Codex adapter, GPT-5-class coding
model with tool use and code execution in the local repo workspace. The
local adapter does not surface a more specific public model version
string in this branch workflow.
