7df517d18f perf(build): reuse a current Runner build in the server's prepare:runner-vendor step (#15926)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its CI runs a `Build` job on every pull request. That job runs `pnpm
build` and then verifies the public npm install. Since the server test
shards got faster, `Build` is the slowest check in most runs (419-497s
on the six fully green `master` runs created 2026-10-11 19:46Z to
20:17Z).
> - Inside `pnpm build`, the server package is the last package to
build. Its first step, `prepare:runner-vendor`, runs the full build of
`@paperclipai/paperclip-runner` so the server can vendor
`packages/paperclip-runner/dist`. In `pnpm -r build` that package was
built seconds earlier by the same command. The second build took 12-16s
on those six runs and sits on the critical path of the job.
> - The step cannot just be removed. A standalone `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server build` (the Dockerfile's path) must produce a
current vendored Runner on its own.
> - This pull request keeps that guarantee and skips only the build that
is provably redundant. The Runner's `build` records a digest of its
inputs, captured before its first step and confirmed after its last,
together with a manifest of every file it left under `dist`. The
server's `prepare:runner-vendor` reuses the build when the digest
matches, the stamp is for this platform, and every recorded output is
still there at its recorded size. Any other state runs the same full
Runner build as before.
> - The benefit is 12-16s off the `Build` job and off every other `pnpm
build` (the Canary Dry Run's `release.sh` build, local builds), with no
change to what a standalone server build produces. The PR's own first
run measured it: the server step reused the build in 56ms where `master`
runs rebuilt for 11-15s.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No GitHub issue exists for this. The description below follows the
enhancement template.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The server build's `prepare:runner-vendor` step, which builds
`@paperclipai/paperclip-runner` so the server can vendor its `dist`.

**Subsystem affected**

Build and CI (`server/package.json`,
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`, the `Build` job).

**Current behavior**

`prepare:runner-vendor` runs the Runner's full `build` every time.
Inside `pnpm -r build`, the Runner was already built by the same command
20 to 25 seconds earlier, with every check passing. On six fully green
`master` runs (2026-10-11, 19:46Z to 20:17Z) the repeated build took
11.8s to 15.9s, measured from the `server build$ pnpm run
prepare:runner-vendor` log line to the Runner's `Finished release
profile` line. The server package builds last, so that time is on the
critical path of `Build`, which is the slowest check in most pull
request runs.

**Proposed behavior**

- The Runner's `build` starts with `node scripts/record-build-inputs.mjs
--begin` and ends with `node scripts/record-build-inputs.mjs --finish`.
`--begin` removes the previous stamp and records a digest of every build
input before the first step reads anything. `--finish`, after every step
and check has passed, recomputes the digest and writes
`packages/paperclip-runner/node_modules/.cache/paperclip-runner-build-inputs.json`
only if the inputs are still the ones the build began with, together
with the path and size of every file under `dist`. A stamp therefore
exists only for a build that completed every step on inputs that did not
move while it ran.
- The server's `prepare:runner-vendor` becomes `node
scripts/prepare-runner-vendor.mjs`. It reuses the build if the stamp is
for this platform and architecture, every recorded output is still there
at its recorded size, and the recomputed digest matches. In every other
case it removes the stamp and runs `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build`, the exact command the step ran
before.
- `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_VENDOR_REBUILD=1` forces the rebuild.

**Reason and benefit**

12-16s off the `Build` job and off every other `pnpm build` (the Canary
Dry Run's `release.sh` build, local builds), with no change to what a
standalone `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build` produces.

**Breaking changes**

None. The rebuild path runs the same command as before. A fresh
checkout, a changed input, a missing or truncated output, an edit that
landed during the build, or a stamp from another platform always
rebuilds.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/build-inputs.mjs` (new): defines
the input set, the digest, the output manifest and the reuse decision.
Inputs are every file under `packages/paperclip-runner` except `dist`,
`dist-browser`, `runner/target`, `node_modules` and dot-directories;
every file under `packages/paperclip-eval-kernel` except `dist` and
`node_modules` (the Runner's `build:typescript` builds it first); every
file under the root `patches` directory (`check:acpx-profiles` hashes
`acpx@0.13.1.patch`, and `build-verified-provider-entrypoints.mjs`
copies the `pi-acp` and `brace-expansion` patches into
`dist/cli/pi-provision-inputs`); and the root `package.json`,
`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `pnpm-workspace.yaml` and `tsconfig.base.json`. The
toolchain pins are inside the package (`rust-toolchain.toml`,
`runner/Cargo.lock`) and the TypeScript version is in the lockfile, so
both are covered. A symlink is hashed as its target path and is not
followed. Outputs are every file under `dist`, the tree the server
copies wholesale, recorded with their sizes. Exports `beginRunnerBuild`,
`recordRunnerBuild` and `assessRunnerBuild` (returns `current` plus a
stable reason code: `no_stamp`, `schema_mismatch`, `platform_mismatch`,
`missing_output`, `outputs_changed`, `inputs_changed`,
`inputs_unchanged`).
- `packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/record-build-inputs.mjs` (new): the
two phases, `--begin` and `--finish`, added as the first and last step
of the Runner's `build` in `packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`.
Each build chain has its own pending record under
`node_modules/.cache/paperclip-runner-build-inputs.pending/`, named
after the shell pnpm runs the chain in (the parent of both phases;
`--finish` also accepts a record named after its own pid, for a shell
that execs the last command of the chain), so two Runner builds running
at once in one checkout do not consume each other's record. `--finish`
without a pending record for its chain is an error, so the chain cannot
silently lose its first step; `--finish` after an edit that landed
mid-build prints `not recorded: inputs changed while the build ran` and
leaves no stamp. Records of builds that never finished are pruned by the
next `--begin` after a day.
- `server/scripts/prepare-runner-vendor.mjs` (new): the reuse-or-rebuild
step. It resolves the pnpm that is running it through `npm_execpath`
with the same rule as the CLI's `resolvePnpmInstallInvocation` (a
JavaScript entry runs through this Node, a native executable runs
directly, otherwise `pnpm` on PATH). It prints one
`paperclip.runner-vendor.timing.v1` line with `action`, `reason`,
`check_ms` and `build_ms`, so the saving is measured on this PR's own
`Build` job.
- `server/package.json`: `prepare:runner-vendor` now runs that script.
The `build` and `typecheck` scripts are unchanged.
- `server/src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts`: pins the
new indirection and the command behind it (imported from the script, so
the Dockerfile's standalone path stays pinned), and a new test asserts
the Runner's `build` starts with `--begin`, ends with `--finish`, and
has exactly those two record steps.
- Tests: `packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/build-inputs.test.mjs`
(node:test, added to `test:typescript:prep`) and
`server/scripts/prepare-runner-vendor.test.mjs` (vitest, in the server
lane).
- `doc/DEVELOPING.md`: a "Reused Runner build in the server build"
section under Test Commands.

## Review findings on the first head, all fixed in
[2d57542](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15926/commits/2d575425977f87b4612222d0a1961bc9cc5ba569)

Greptile scored the first head 2/5 with three P1 findings. All three
were valid.

| Finding | Fix |
| --- | --- |
| **Patch edits leave stale output.** The root patch files the build
reads were not in the digest. | Every file under the root `patches`
directory is an input. Tests assert the patches are in the input list
and that editing the pi-acp patch, the acpx patch, or adding a patch
changes the digest. |
| **Missing helpers pass the build.** Only four outputs were checked, so
a `dist` that lost `dist/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.cjs` still counted as
current. | `--finish` records the path and size of every file under
`dist`; reuse requires all of them intact and reports `outputs_changed`
naming the first missing or resized file. Schema bumped to
`paperclip.runner-build-inputs.v2` so an older stamp is rejected. Tests
cover a deleted helper, a truncated helper, and the server step
rebuilding on `outputs_changed`. |
| **New edits count as compiled.** The digest was hashed after the
build, so a source edited while `build:binary` ran was recorded as
compiled. | The build is bracketed: `--begin` captures the digest before
the first step, `--finish` compares after the last and writes nothing if
it moved. Tests cover the mid-build edit, the undisturbed build, and the
CLI in both orders. |

## Review finding on the second head, fixed in the third commit

Greptile scored the second head 4/5 with one P1, valid: two Runner
builds running at once in one checkout (server `build` beside
`typecheck`) shared one pending record, so the second `--begin`
overwrote it, the first `--finish` consumed it, and the second
`--finish` threw `no pending build inputs` after every step of its build
had passed. Reproduced on the second head's module: two
`beginRunnerBuild`, then the first `recordRunnerBuild` records and the
second throws.

| Finding | Fix |
| --- | --- |
| **Overlapping builds fail each other.** One pending file for every
build chain. | One record per chain, named after the shell pnpm runs the
chain in: `--begin` sees it as its parent, and so does `--finish`,
unless the shell execs the last command of the chain (bash can), in
which case `--finish` is that shell and finds the record under its own
pid. Pending records of builds that never finished are pruned after a
day. An edit between two overlapping starts leaves no stamp whichever
build finishes last: the build that began before the edit reports
`inputs_changed_during_build` and removes the stamp the other wrote, so
a stamp always means every build that wrote `dist` read the inputs it
names. Tests: both finishing orders with and without an edit, the
pruning, a `--finish` that cannot use another chain's record, and two
real `sh -c` chains (plus one under `bash`) held open at the same time,
both recording. On the real repo, two `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build` chains started 8s apart with a
cargo stand-in both recorded (`files=1223 outputs=1434`) and left the
pending directory empty. |

## Measured on this PR's runs

The `Build` job ran `pnpm build` from the branch, so both builds of the
Runner in that job used the new chain.

First head (c23faab, run 38175281058), against the four fully green
`master` runs created 20:41Z to 21:37Z the same evening:

| | PR run 38175281058 | `master`, four runs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Runner build inside `pnpm -r build` | 55.3s | 47.3-62.0s |
| Server step `prepare:runner-vendor` |
`action:reuse,reason:inputs_unchanged,check_ms:56,build_ms:0` | full
Runner rebuild, 11.0-14.8s |
| Server package build | 29.7s | 32.3-43.5s |
| `pnpm build` step | 114s | 102-135s |
| `Build` job | 411s | 409-474s |

Second head (2d57542, run 38178686999), against the two fully green
`master` runs created in the same half hour (38178951607 and
38180574768):

| | PR run 38178686999 | `master`, two runs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Runner build inside `pnpm -r build` | 53.9s (`begin:` 22:03:04,
`recorded:` 22:03:57, digest 460e02616081 over 1231 files and 1434
outputs) | 62.2s, 64.6s |
| Server step `prepare:runner-vendor` |
`action:reuse,reason:inputs_unchanged,check_ms:109,build_ms:0` | full
Runner rebuild, 14.5s, 15.2s |
| Server package build | 27.4s | 43.5s, 44.8s |
| `pnpm build` step | 106s | 91s, 95s to the Runner's end plus the rest;
127s, 135s in all |
| `Build` job | 405s | 461s, 479s |

The rebuild is gone from the server build on both heads, and the check
costs 56-109ms where `master` rebuilds for 11-15s; the rest of the
spread between runs is runner speed on the `runs-on` fleet. The third
commit changes nothing on the reuse path: it only changes where the
pending record lives between `--begin` and `--finish`.

## Verification

- `node --test packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/build-inputs.test.mjs`:
11 tests, three consecutive runs clean. Two builds at once in one
checkout each keep their own pending record and both record, in either
finishing order; with an edit between their starts the build that began
before it leaves no stamp whichever finishes last. A build's start
prunes records older than a day and no others. A `--finish` cannot use
another chain's record. Two chains run by separate `sh -c` shells at the
same time (and one under `bash`) both record and leave the pending
directory empty. The input set is exactly the sources, the eval kernel,
the root patches and the root config, and skips outputs and caches. The
output manifest lists every file under `dist` with its size and nothing
outside it. The digest is stable across reads, does not change when
`dist`, `dist-browser`, `node_modules`, `.vite` or `runner/target`
change, and does change for a Runner source, a Rust source, an
eval-kernel source, the pi-acp patch, the acpx patch, a new patch, the
lockfile, the base tsconfig, a new file and a rename. A symlink changes
the digest but its target's files are not read. A build is current only
with a matching v2 stamp, the same platform and architecture, the four
named outputs present, and every recorded output intact (a deleted or
truncated helper is `outputs_changed`; a file the build did not produce
may appear). An input edited between `--begin` and `--finish` leaves no
stamp and removes the pending record; the next build records normally.
`--finish` without `--begin`, or after a build that left a required
output missing, throws and leaves no stamp. The CLI brackets the build
for the package it is pointed at, reports a mid-build edit, and rejects
`--finish` first, both flags, neither flag, and unknown arguments.
- `vitest run scripts/prepare-runner-vendor.test.mjs
src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts` in `server/`: 21
tests. The decision reuses a current build, rebuilds a stale one, and
rebuilds a current one only when `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_VENDOR_REBUILD=1`.
The pnpm resolver covers a JavaScript entry, a native executable, a
Windows executable, no `npm_execpath`, and npm's `npm_execpath`. With an
injected build command: a current stamp runs nothing and prints
`action:reuse`; changed inputs run the exact command from `server/` with
the stale stamp already removed; a lost
`dist/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.cjs` rebuilds with
`reason:outputs_changed`; a failing build returns its status and leaves
no stamp. End to end, the CLI with a stand-in `pnpm` on PATH that
brackets its build the way the real one does rebuilds on the first call,
reuses on the second, rebuilds after a source change, rebuilds after a
lost output, and reuses again. The guard test asserts
`prepare:runner-vendor` is the new script, the rebuild command is still
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner build`, the server build
still starts with the step, and the Runner's `build` starts with
`--begin` and ends with `--finish` with exactly two record steps; it
fails against the previous build script on its first assertion.
- Real repo, this checkout, with `cargo` and `pnpm` stand-ins on PATH
(no Rust toolchain here; the stand-in writes the one file
`stage-runner-binary.mjs` copies): `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build` ran the complete chain through the
real nested pnpm (every TypeScript step and check, the stand-in cargo,
the binary staging, the two binary-reading checks) and recorded
`files=1223 bytes=18735059 outputs=1434`; the stamp is 128 KB. `pnpm run
prepare:runner-vendor` in `server/` then printed
`action:reuse,reason:inputs_unchanged,check_ms:222,build_ms:0`.
Appending a newline to `patches/pi-acp@0.0.33.patch` made the assessment
`inputs_changed`; truncating or deleting
`dist/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.cjs` or
`dist/cli/opencode-app-server-proxy.cjs` made it `outputs_changed` in
1-5ms; restoring each made it current again. `--begin`, an edit to
`src/index.ts`, then `--finish` printed `not recorded: inputs changed
while the build ran` and left no stamp.
- The whole check on the real set (1223 inputs, 18 MB; 1434 outputs)
takes 165-227ms on this host and took 56ms on the CI runner; the output
manifest part is 1-5ms.
- Not run here: the real `cargo build`, and `pnpm build` end to end.
This PR's `Build` job runs `pnpm build` from the branch, so its log
carries the Runner's `begin:` and `recorded:` lines and the server
build's `paperclip.runner-vendor.timing.v1` line with the measured
result.

## Risks

- A build input outside the digest would let a stale Runner be vendored.
The digest covers the whole Runner package except its outputs, the eval
kernel the Runner builds first, the root patches, and the root files the
Runner's tsconfig and dependency graph read. The lockfile covers
dependency versions, and the pins inside the package cover the Rust
toolchain. An input missed here is a bug to fix by adding it to the set;
the fallback direction is always a rebuild, never a skip.
- The whole `patches` directory is an input, although the Runner build
reads three of its fourteen files. An edit to an unrelated patch
therefore costs one extra Runner rebuild, which is the safe direction
and avoids a hand-kept list of file names that could drift from the
scripts that read them.
- The stamp lives in `node_modules/.cache`, which pnpm does not manage
and `.gitignore` and `.dockerignore` already exclude. It is about 128 KB
with the output manifest. The Docker build has no stamp and no prior
Runner build, so it rebuilds exactly as before.
- A stamp is written only after the Runner's `build` passed every step
on inputs that did not change while it ran. The Runner's first step and
the prepare step both remove any existing stamp before a rebuild starts,
so a build that stops partway, or a build command that fails before its
first step, leaves no stamp.
- `node scripts/record-build-inputs.mjs --finish` on its own is an
error; the script is only meant to run as the two ends of the `build`
chain, and the guard test pins that.
- The pending record is keyed by the pid of the shell that runs the
chain. pnpm runs every script through a shell (`sh -c` on POSIX, `cmd`
on Windows), and both phases are children of that shell; a shell that
execs the last command of the chain is covered by matching the finishing
process's own pid too. A chain run some other way, with the two phases
under different parents, fails loudly at `--finish` rather than
recording. Two builds running at once still write the same `dist`, which
no stamp can make safe; what the record guarantees is that a stamp is
written only by a build whose own inputs did not move.
- The platform and architecture are part of the comparison, so a stamp
from another machine is never trusted; an older v1 stamp is rejected by
schema.
- The Typecheck job builds the Runner once, through this step, with no
prior `pnpm -r build`, so it gains nothing and loses nothing: there is
no stamp and it rebuilds as before.
- The step now spawns pnpm through `npm_execpath` instead of relying on
`pnpm` being on PATH, because under corepack the script shell has no
`pnpm`. Outside a pnpm script it still falls back to `pnpm` on PATH.

de9ab8e7e0 perf(runner): compile the TypeScript surface once per build (#15853)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Pull requests to this repository run a large CI matrix. The slowest
check sets the time a contributor waits for a green run.
> - After #15849 hid the verifier's downloads behind package staging,
the `Build` lane is still the slowest check in five of the eight fully
green PR runs created after that merge (535s to 581s; the top server
shard is 529s to 560s in the other three). `Build` is about 100s of
setup, 160s to 176s of `pnpm build`, and 265s to 312s of the public
install verifier.
> - Inside `pnpm build`, every package after `@paperclipai/shared` waits
on the Runner: its `build` script takes 76s to 80s, and for 65s of that
it is the only job running. The chain runs `build:typescript` three
times: once directly, then again inside `check:semantic-contracts` and
`check:runner-workflow-traceability`, which rebuild first so they work
standalone. The server's `prepare:runner-vendor` then runs the whole
Runner build a second time, so the job pays for four redundant
TypeScript passes.
> - Each pass is two `tsc` projects, the eval-kernel rebuild, and the
schema checks, 7s to 8s on the CI runner. The dist they rebuild is the
dist the first pass just wrote; nothing between the passes changes it.
> - This pull request calls the two check scripts directly after the
chain's own `build:typescript`, the way `generate-replay-goldens.mjs
--check` already does in the same line. The standalone `check:*` scripts
keep their rebuild.
> - The benefit is about 30s off the `Build` job's critical path, about
15s off the Typecheck job and every Docker or release build that runs
the server build, with no change to what is checked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Describe the enhancement**

The `Build` PR check is the slowest check in most green PR runs. Its
`pnpm build` step compiles the Runner's TypeScript surface four times:
three passes inside one Runner `build`, and a second full Runner `build`
from the server's `prepare:runner-vendor`. Only the first pass produces
a dist that the later steps read; the other three rewrite the same
output.

**Why is this needed**

The slowest check decides the wall-clock time of every PR run. In the
eight fully green PR runs created after 2026-10-11 04:10Z, `Build`
topped five of them at 535s to 581s. The Runner build sits alone on the
`pnpm build` critical path for about 65s, and the server build repeats
it. From the job logs of four of those runs, the second and third
`build:typescript` passes cost 7s to 8s each, in both Runner builds, so
about 30s per job.

**Proposed solution**

In the Runner's `build` script, replace `pnpm run
check:semantic-contracts && pnpm run check:runner-workflow-traceability`
with `node scripts/generate-semantic-contracts.mjs --check && node
scripts/check-runner-workflow-traceability.mjs`. Both scripts read
`dist/`, which `build:typescript` wrote earlier in the same chain, and
the steps between them are `--check` runs that write nothing to `dist/`.
Add a guard test so the chain compiles TypeScript exactly once and both
checks still run after it.

**Alternatives considered**

- Skip the server's `prepare:runner-vendor` rebuild when `pnpm -r build`
already built the Runner. That rebuild is what makes `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server build` correct standalone (the Dockerfile uses it),
and the server's build-script test pins the command. A freshness check
would be a larger semantic change; this PR shrinks the rebuild instead
of removing it, and the next cycle can measure what remains.
- Make `tsc` incremental across the passes. It would still re-run the
schema checks and the eval-kernel build each time, and would add
build-info files to the package.
- Change `check:semantic-contracts` and
`check:runner-workflow-traceability` themselves to stop rebuilding. They
are documented standalone commands (`pnpm --dir
packages/paperclip-runner check:semantic-contracts` in the capability
docs) and must work from a stale dist; unchanged here.

## What Changed

- `packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`: the `build` script runs
`node scripts/generate-semantic-contracts.mjs --check` and `node
scripts/check-runner-workflow-traceability.mjs` directly, after its own
`build:typescript`, instead of the `check:semantic-contracts` and
`check:runner-workflow-traceability` wrappers that rebuild first. Every
other step, its order, and the standalone `check:*` scripts are
unchanged.
- `server/src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts`: a new test
in the suite that already pins the server's Runner vendoring reads the
Runner's `build` script, resolves every `pnpm run` step, and asserts
that exactly one step compiles TypeScript (directly or through a
wrapper), that both check scripts are in the chain, and that both come
after `build:typescript`. It fails against the previous script with
`expected [ 'build:typescript', …(2) ] to deeply equal [
'build:typescript' ]`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts`: 9 pass (1 new). With
the `package.json` change stashed, the new test fails as described above
and the other 8 pass.
- In `packages/paperclip-runner`, the new chain without the cargo step
(`check:protocol-manifest`, `build:typescript`,
`check:capability-contract`, `check:capability-inventory`,
`check:protocol-coverage`, `generate-semantic-contracts.mjs --check`,

--check`, `generate-semantic-action-catalog.mjs --check`) exits 0:
`Runner stress traceability passed: 44 findings, 12 workflows, 1
explicit exclusion.` and `Replay golden snapshots and parity summaries
are current.` Cargo is not installed on the host that produced this PR,
so `build:binary` was not run locally; it is unchanged and runs in this
PR's `Build` job.
- `pnpm run build:typescript` alone takes 5.8s to 5.9s on this host, so
each removed pass is in the range the CI logs show.
- This PR's own `Build` job runs `pnpm build` from the branch checkout,
so its log shows the new chain in both Runner builds. Expected on that
job: `pnpm build` about 130s to 146s (was 160s to 176s on the four
measured runs), `Build` about 505s to 551s (was 535s to 581s).

**Measured on the four post-#15849 `master` runs that motivated this
PR** (`Build` job logs):

`build:typescript` passes in it | Runner rebuild in server build | Extra

## Risks

- Low risk. The same two checks run against the same dist, in the same
position in the chain. The only difference is that the dist is not
rewritten twice between them.
- If a future step between `build:typescript` and the two checks starts
writing to `dist/`, the checks would read that output instead of a fresh
rebuild. The steps there today (`check:capability-contract`,
`check:capability-inventory`, `check:protocol-coverage`) are `--check`
runs that only compare generated spec files.
- The standalone `check:semantic-contracts` and
`check:runner-workflow-traceability` scripts still rebuild first, so
documented usage is unchanged.
- The guard test lives in the server's suite because that suite already
pins the Runner vendoring contract and runs in the server shards on
every PR.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model ID `claude-fable-5-1`, running as a
Paperclip agent through the Claude local adapter with tool use (shell,
file edits, GitHub CLI). The agent collected the CI data, made the
change, ran the tests, and wrote this description.

DottaandPaperclip 6080daf262 fix(runner): start native OpenCode without postinstall (#15702)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner starts a qualified OpenCode runtime for native
tasks.
> - The default launch path uses a file populated by OpenCode's
postinstall script.
> - Package managers can skip that script and leave a text placeholder.
Native task startup then fails with `spawn ENOEXEC` before the model
request.
> - This pull request resolves the declared platform package directly
and includes the pinned runtime in the published server dependency
graph.
> - Users can run native OpenCode tasks after a normal install without
global commands or manual dependency repair.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native OpenCode tasks fail at session startup when dependency
postinstall is skipped. The Runner selects
`opencode-ai/bin/opencode.exe`, which contains a text placeholder. The
published server also lacks the OpenCode runtime dependency used by its
vendored Runner.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip starts the qualified platform binary installed by the package
manager. macOS uses a Mac binary. No manual postinstall command is
needed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Install dependencies with lifecycle scripts disabled.
2. Configure a native OpenCode agent with an OpenRouter model and valid
credentials.
3. Assign a task. The previous default fails before any model request.

Related work: #15682 fixes HTTP transport registration. #15422 includes
compatible OpenCode resolution in a broader agent setup change. This PR
isolates the runtime repair for current users.

## What Changed

- Resolve pinned OpenCode platform packages through the module
dependency graph in source, standalone, and vendored server layouts.
- Check package identity, version, platform, executable containment, and
execute permission. Preserve verified executable launch profiles.
- Use the resolver for new and resumed native sessions. Reject missing
remote pack executables before controller dependency lookup.
- Declare `opencode-ai@1.18.34` as a published server dependency. Leave
platform selection to the consumer's package manager.
- Check remote paths for the selected provider only. An unused OpenCode
path must not reject a Pi run on macOS.
- Add skipped-postinstall and invalid artifact regressions. Document
automatic runtime selection.

## Verification

- Regression tests fail with the previous default path and pass with
platform resolution.
- Source, standalone, and vendored layout fixtures cover Apple Silicon,
Intel Mac, and Linux x64 baseline packages.
- A fresh npm install with `--ignore-scripts` resolves the macOS
executable and reports `1.18.34`. The placeholder remains unchanged.
- Live browser test on Apple Silicon: a native
OpenCode/OpenRouter/DeepSeek task ran shell arithmetic, created and
uploaded a verified 23-byte file, and completed. A follow-up ran shell
arithmetic and completed using the same session. Both runs committed
successfully while the wrapper remained broken.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. All 269 affected Runner
tests and 8 server packaging tests passed. `pnpm test:run` encountered
15 initial database-heavy failures; all 15 passed on an isolated group
rerun. The redundant local run was then stopped after the matching
server and workspace CI suites passed. All final-head checks passed (56
passed, 2 skipped); its unrelated chat-retry browser assertion passed on
one rerun. An additional local repeat could not start its temporary
server within the startup timeout. Greptile reviewed the final head at
5/5 with no open findings.

## Risks

- Native runtime resolution requires the pinned optional platform
package. Installations that omit optional dependencies fail with an
explicit runtime error.
- Supported native targets remain Apple Silicon, Intel Mac, and Linux
x64. This change does not qualify another platform.
- Published server installations now install the OpenCode dependency.
Remote provider packs retain their verified executable paths and
digests.
- No schema changes or agent configuration migration.
- Repository policy assigns `pnpm-lock.yaml` to CI. PR CI refreshes
dependency resolution before frozen installs, and the master workflow
updates the tracked lockfile. This PR leaves the tracked lockfile
unchanged.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The session does not expose the exact GPT-6 variant or
context window.
- Live verification used OpenRouter `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`;
it did not author this patch.

DottaandPaperclip a6306ba606 feat(runner): consolidate Cursor production integration (#15075)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner keeps provider sessions under company authority,
approvals, budgets and durable recovery.
> - Cursor work was spread across candidate branches. The published
branch lacked later plan, permission and cleanup fixes.
> - Production also needs public installation and matching runtime
assets for local and Daytona execution.
> - This pull request consolidates Cursor onto current mainline recovery
behavior and completes that installation path.
> - The installed v11 release passed focused local and Daytona
qualification after the generic mode and lifecycle cleanup. The later
model-selection correction and current mainline merge produce v14
artifacts that need matching release qualification.
> - Cursor admission is enabled in source; publish only an artifact
combination with matching qualification. Native AskQuestion and complete
per-run dollar accounting remain excluded.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #14435, #14631, #14669, #14699, #14724.

This completes the Cursor implementation by @cryppadotta from combined
source `22c78242a4e0c2369fecf0c2dc4e7600fbad6706`. It preserves newer
mainline recovery, completion and warm-directory behavior. Pi and
Copilot remain gated.

## What Changed

- Generate named Rust and TypeScript ACPX release profiles from one
manifest. Share runtime pins with packaging and server verification.
Preserve vendor runtime versions; bind the updated ACPX patch to Cursor
profile v14 and reject stale generated declarations at build/typecheck.
- Remove ACPX model allowlists, including the former Codex and Pi
restrictions and the duplicate developer test-drive gate. Send any
explicit model ID unchanged to its provider and verify the effective
selection before prompting. The bundled ACPX package forwards unlisted
IDs, rejects mismatched acknowledgements, and restores the exact
selection after session load. It does not expand Cursor model aliases.
Provider rejection, mismatch, or missing model controls fails without a
fallback. Model examples live in evaluation fixtures, outside runtime
declarations.

- Add pinned Cursor execution, contained instructions, exact model
verification and Agent/Plan/Ask modes.
- Carry an opaque generic `mode` identifier in shared native execution,
sidecar, Rust and recovery contracts. The provider adapter owns
supported modes, defaults, native translation and acknowledgement.
- Keep native RPC recognition, accepted-plan interpretation and
permission evidence behind provider adapters. Shared settlement and
recovery verify normalized facts and their committed evidence.
- Replace the Cursor-only warm-attachment branch with a runner-owned
capability. Only Cursor opts into it. Move profile compatibility and
optional usage parsing into provider metadata and adapters.
- Write generic plan-wait receipts. Read exact historical Cursor
receipts through a separate compatibility decoder. Reject mixed formats
and preserve existing authority checks.
- Carry native plans, semantic questions, todos, child activity,
permission identities and partial usage diagnostics through the Runner.
- Preserve durable response delivery, cancellation, warm ownership and
process retirement.
- Finish accepted planning runs successfully. Keep their tasks open for
explicit direction. Acceptance does not start implementation.
- Ship `paperclipai runtime setup cursor` and its provisioner through
the public package. npm installation does not download Cursor. Setup
uses the OS account's closure-keyed cache so system-wide npm packages
can remain read-only. Run it as the Paperclip service account.
- Include Cursor in normal provider packs and Daytona images for macOS
ARM64/x64 and Linux x64.
- Reject stale release packs by source revision and current ACPX/Cursor
pins before assembly writes files. Verify current Cursor
version/profile/closure again at runtime.
- Ship all three daemon targets and the expected Linux image-pack
identity. A macOS controller uses its packaged Linux daemon for Daytona.
Image mismatches fail before provider launch.
- Use the vendored Runner boundary for installed readiness probes.
Verify the actual installed Cursor probe.
- Verify compiled public Daytona plugins and their release versions in
installed smokes.
- Record exact artifacts, the acceptance matrix, retained failures,
supported capabilities and rollback behavior in the [readiness
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/cursor-production-readiness/doc/plans/2026-10-03-cursor-production-readiness.md).

## Verification

- Current head `f7ec5cc1f0e30c62a829c016ff2013a2a9d79037` merges
mainline `faa8e452c73bae5e044dd6379179a00106abb131`. It keeps Cursor
plan and cancellation guards alongside mainline historical-question
filtering. The evaluation catalog includes both Cursor and expanded
adapter accounting cases (683 total). Recursive typecheck, full build,
696 lifecycle/recovery tests, 45 fixture tests and fixture typecheck
passed. Current-head CI passed: 56 successful checks, one neutral and
four skipped. [Complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37557996535).
The fresh Base Greptile review is 5/5 on this exact head, with 304 files
reviewed, zero new comments and zero unresolved threads. The user
authorized overriding the CODEOWNER review gate after checks passed; no
failing checks are overridden. Prior results below retain their own head
identities.
- Corrective head `3d2b168366258036f6b6a6fccb382c49138cc601` fixes the
post-merge Apex finding. Automatic-review and new-evidence
reconciliation preserve pending child results and recheck delivery under
the status lock before completing. Account repair now excludes unrelated
secret consumers and requires the failed agent's identity. Regression
coverage includes the commit race, delivery statuses,
current-run/current-intent exclusions, repeated reconciliation, both
database reconciliation paths, and credential consumer boundaries. All
184 affected tests, server typecheck and server build passed.
Current-head Base Greptile review is 5/5, with 304 files reviewed, zero
new comments and zero unresolved threads. Current-head CI passed: 56
successful checks, one neutral and four skipped. [Complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37535994724).
This Base review is distinct from the earlier Apex review.
- Merge head `5957c257a` reconciles mainline `b508a05c4`. It preserves
both accepted-plan waits and pending-child-completion checks, current
provider selectors, task-creation response identities, and mainline ACPX
missing-file handling. The combined patch is bound to Cursor profile
v14; historical records keep their original identities.
- Merge head `5957c257a` passed recursive typecheck, full build, 43
installed ACPX/package contracts, 107 provider UI and plan/recovery
tests, 593 database-backed lifecycle tests, 49 profile/native contract
tests, 45 Product E2E fixture tests, fixture typecheck, token gates,
three provider-free browser task-creation cases, and Runner
conformance/replay checks. Its complete CI passed (55 successful checks,
one neutral and four skipped), while Apex returned 2/5 with a
child-delivery finding addressed below.
- The local full-suite attempt again failed the unchanged Git streaming
test (360-second timeout) and was stopped. The concurrent local Rust
attempt failed four unchanged Codex process/deadline tests; all four
passed serially without code changes in 7.29 seconds after removing the
competing test load. These failed commands are retained and are not
reported as full-suite passes; the fresh Linux CI runs are tracked
separately.
- The previous head `907bdb2a2778c7ffeb4a662a91460c9d1ddfc9c5` earned
Apex 5/5 with zero comments after fixing all three findings: per-user
install cache, stale release-pack rejection, and public Linux smoke
account/home handling. Its real built installer passed from read-only
public packages on macOS ARM64 and Linux x64. All 137 release-registry
checks and 64 ACPX package contracts passed. That review does not cover
this mainline reconciliation.
- Prior `beadd3654` passed the full CI matrix; its one unchanged chat
test failure and successful single retry remain in the [CI
history](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37521449327).
Historical results below remain attributed to their original builds.

- Fixture follow-up `dd59d7e82b103a88b7cbd7d2c38b612c0fbbff7a` removes
provider-specific model choices from generic offline ACPX tests. The
fake sidecar preserves the model and session identity selected at open
through suspension. Affected verification passed: 106 Rust tests and 73
TypeScript tests. This commit changes test code only; the
production-code checks below retain their recorded identities. Its CI
and Greptile review later passed; those results belong to that
historical head.
- Model-selection cleanup `9a070808b48960a41fdfd369ae0636b95af82459`:
252 focused Runner tests passed (six platform skips), covering all six
ACPX agents, native model acknowledgement, rejected selections,
installation integrity and recovery identity. The merged branch passed
recursive typecheck, full build, token gates, server admission (19
tests), and the Product E2E catalog (45 tests). The acceptance catalog
passed all four tests. The full Rust suite passed: 643 tests, 2 ignored.
It verifies sidecar acknowledgement of unlisted models and rejection of
model mismatches. The final commits only update Rust tests; production
sources match the verified build at
`65ec3279ac50185e3cda109b5cfd9b4f56105de0`. No new paid provider calls
were made.
- The merge preserves both Cursor and the new mainline public-MCP
fixture cases. Auto-merge remains disabled; the latest follow-up status
is recorded above. The local `pnpm test:run` attempt hit the unchanged
Git streaming test's 300-second timeout and was interrupted before
merging mainline. The broad Runner attempt found obsolete single-model
assertions plus three macOS fixture-path failures caused by a
`/private/tmp` override. The assertions are corrected; affected
TypeScript checks passed with the standard macOS temporary directory,
and the complete Rust suite passed. Neither interrupted command is a
full-suite pass.
- Earlier declaration-cleanup head `6f4a5e9e2` passed recursive
typecheck, build, Rust and focused tests. Its CI later exposed a test
expecting duplicated Grok digest literals. The current source fixes that
assertion to compare launcher bytes with the shared manifest. Historical
successes and failed attempts are retained; no new live provider
qualification is claimed.
- Previous head `e75fde6098b0ddd8cec765bfb6ecaeecb88a26a6` passed
complete CI (56 successful checks, one neutral, four skipped) and
Greptile 5/5. [Historical complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37489112305).
Those results are not claimed for the cleanup head.
- Frozen live application: `d7b696f9b8f79095233e9e3d56d23e6a6018dd48`.
Public package version: `0.0.0-cursor-verify.3d0c9b7761c6`. The
declaration cleanup preserves release pins and does not relabel that
tested artifact as a build of the new source. Mainline through
`e34abee670` was reconciled while preserving accepted-plan waits,
provider-capacity handling, and both Cursor and public-MCP fixtures.
- Clean normal installation, explicit Cursor setup and daemon resolution
passed on macOS ARM64, macOS x64 under Rosetta, and Linux x64. npm
lifecycle hooks ran without silently downloading Cursor.
- Historical v11 live matrix: **18/18 passed with cleanup** (nine local,
nine Daytona) after the generic mode and lifecycle cleanup. The campaign
has 23 attempts; all five failures and their diagnoses remain recorded.
Exact case identities, hashes and limits are in the readiness report.
All provider calls are real, use the explicit Luna model and
company-bound credentials, and run without qualification or
runtime-asset overrides.
- The immutable Daytona image is
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:d6259b6bba094702c13fc2283bd85550849c1c53145b656fb2746778f9fa1747`.
The public Daytona plugin is installed independently and its version is
checked.
- Recursive typecheck, full build, token gates and Runner
contract/conformance/replay checks passed on the frozen application. Its
complete Linux CI suite passed. The duplicate local full-suite command
was incomplete after timing failures; affected repeats passed, but that
command is not reported as a clean pass.
- Qualification fixtures passed typecheck, 1,675 Vitest tests (one
skip), 128 Node checks, three provider-free browser tests, and 150
focused lifecycle tests after the final diagnostic correction. The
affected legacy Cursor command file also passed all five tests after
removing its shorter 10-second override; it now inherits the suite’s
standard 15-second timeout. Greptile is 5/5 on `e75fde609` with no
unresolved review threads. CI results above are recorded separately from
historical build results.

## Risks

- Cursor v14 includes the updated ACPX dependency patch and release
identity. The v11 live matrix and image below remain historical
evidence. They do not certify new v14 package/image artifacts.

- ACPX accepts models beyond the qualification fixtures. Availability
and entitlement depend on the provider. Successful configuration is not
a claim of live qualification for every model.
- Shared mode is an opaque identifier. Provider adapters own its
meaning. Incompatible historical sessions remain fenced; exact committed
plan waits and task history remain inspectable.
- Native AskQuestion is excluded. Paperclip semantic questions are
supported. Authoritative per-run dollar accounting is unavailable;
partial counters remain diagnostics and unknown cost is not zero.
- Image input, detailed native diffs, deeper child transcripts and
native plan-file export remain follow-ups.
- macOS x64 has clean-install and daemon-startup proof under Rosetta,
not a separate live campaign on Intel hardware.
- Release only the tested package/image combination. Merging this PR
does not publish npm packages or deploy that image. Later builds need
their own release verification. Rollback disables new Cursor admission
while preserving records and recovery inspection.
- A model can fail an exact instruction: one cancelled-plan attempt
returned the wrong summary marker despite correct cancellation. The
unchanged repeat passed; both results remain in the report.

> ROADMAP.md was checked. This completes existing native Runner/Cursor
work; it does not add an independent core feature proposal.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact serving variant and context window are
not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, protocol tests and browser-backed Product
E2E tools. Cursor acceptance uses the explicit
`gpt-5.6-luna[context=272k,reasoning=medium,fast=false]` model. That is
the evaluated provider model.

Nicky LeachandClaude Sonnet 5 04a9f89ede fix(server): bundle the vendored paperclip-runner instead of hand-mirroring its deps (#13121)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server package is published to npm, but its native-runtime
driver code lives in `packages/paperclip-runner`, a private workspace
package that is never published
> - So the server build vendors the runner's compiled code by copying it
in directly, instead of taking it as a normal npm dependency
> - But `cp -R` only copies code, not `node_modules`, so every npm
package the runner imports has to be re-declared by hand in
`server/package.json` to stay resolvable once vendored
> - That hand mirroring step is silent and easy to forget: it missed
`smol-toml` in #13110, and CI stayed green while production crash-looped
3 seconds into every start (#13116)
> - This pull request keeps the proven `cp -R` vendor step exactly as it
was, and adds a build check that derives the required dependency set
from an esbuild scan of the vendored entry points, failing loudly and
precisely if any package the runner actually needs isn't declared in
`server/package.json`
> - The benefit is the dependency list is now verified against the real
module graph instead of hand-copied, so this exact class of bug cannot
pass a green build again -- without changing how the runner's code is
laid out on disk, which several of its modules depend on for unrelated
filesystem lookups

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #13110 (introduced the `smol-toml` import that the vendor step
could not resolve), #13116 (the follow-up fix for a different oversight
in the same PR), #11813 (the same "vendored package installed outside
the monorepo dependency graph loses a runtime dependency" failure shape,
in the Kubernetes plugin installer instead of the server build)

No issue exists yet for this specific incident, so per CONTRIBUTING.md
option (B):

**What happened?**
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` added `smol-toml` as a runtime
dependency in #13110. `server/package.json`'s existing convention (see
`acpx`, `ajv`) requires mirroring every runtime dependency the vendored
runner imports into `server/package.json` too, because the server build
copies the runner's compiled `dist/` tree with `cp -R` -- code only, no
`node_modules`. That mirroring step was missed. CI never runs the
compiled server (`node dist/index.js`); it only builds it, type-checks
it, and boots the app in dev mode via `tsx` against source, which never
touches the vendored path. So the PR merged green, and the deployed
server crash-looped in production:
```
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'smol-toml' imported from
/srv/paperclip/app/server/dist/vendor/paperclip-runner/drivers/codex/codex-startup-trust.js
```

**Expected behavior**
Any npm package the vendored runner code needs at runtime should either
be guaranteed present by construction, or the build should fail with a
clear, actionable error before the change ever reaches a PR -- not
silently pass CI and fail only once deployed.

**Steps to reproduce (the original incident)**
1. Add a new runtime dependency to
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` (e.g. a TOML parser) and use it
from a module reachable from the runner's `index.ts` export graph.
2. Do not add the same dependency to `server/package.json`.
3. Run `pnpm build` in `server/` -- it succeeds.
4. Run `node dist/index.js` -- it crashes with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`
for the new package.

## What Changed

- **Revision note:** the first version of this PR replaced the `cp -R`
vendor step with an esbuild bundle of the runner's entry points.
Greptile's review correctly caught that this broke packaged
ACPX/OpenCode provider startup: several runner modules resolve sibling
build artifacts via `import.meta.url`-relative filesystem paths (not JS
imports) at whatever depth their source file sits at, and bundling
collapses/rearranges that layout. The current version keeps the file
layout untouched and only adds verification. See the second commit's
message for the full explanation.
- `server/scripts/verify-runner-vendor-dependencies.mjs`: a new build
step that runs esbuild with `write: false` (a pure module-graph scan --
nothing is written to disk) against the runner's two entry points server
actually imports (`index.js`, `testing.js`), with `packages: "external"`
so its metafile reports exactly which npm packages the code needs at
runtime. It fails with a precise, actionable error if any of them isn't
declared in `server/package.json`'s `dependencies`. This is deliberately
more precise than "mirror every dependency the runner declares": running
it against this repo's real manifests shows
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` declares dependencies
(`react-markdown`, the codex/opencode CLI packages, ...) that only its
unrelated `./react` and `./browser` export subpaths use -- server never
imports those, so a blanket mirror rule would demand dependencies server
doesn't actually need.
- `server/package.json`: added the new check into the `build` script
(right after the runner is built, before the expensive `tsc`/copy steps,
so it fails fast), and added `smol-toml` (`^1.4.2`, matching
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`) to `dependencies` -- the
actual missing piece from #13110. The vendor step (`cp -R
../packages/paperclip-runner/dist/. dist/vendor/paperclip-runner/`) is
unchanged from before this PR.
- Widened `server/vitest.config.ts`'s `include` to also run
`scripts/**/*.test.mjs`, and added
`server/scripts/verify-runner-vendor-dependencies.test.mjs` unit-testing
the pure dependency-diff function (`findMissingVendorDependencies`)
against the exact shape of the `smol-toml` incident, plus a case proving
an unreachable dependency (like `react-markdown`) is correctly never
flagged.
- Updated `server/src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts`'s
existing build-script assertions to match.

## Verification

- `node --check` on the new script -- syntax OK. `node -e` JSON-parsed
the edited `package.json` files after every edit.
- Unit-verified `findMissingVendorDependencies` directly against:
nothing missing, one missing (the `smol-toml` shape), and multiple
missing with stable sort order.
- Ran the actual check against this repo's real
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` and `server/package.json` (via
a standalone `node` invocation, since `pnpm build` needs a Rust
toolchain this sandbox doesn't have -- see below) to see its real
output. It correctly reported `smol-toml`, `acpx`, and `ajv` as already
satisfied, and did **not** flag `react-markdown`, `remark-gfm`,
`json-schema-to-ts`, `opencode-ai`, `@openai/codex`, or the
`@agentclientprotocol/*` packages -- confirming the "reachable from
index.js/testing.js" scoping works as intended and doesn't demand
dependencies server doesn't need.
- Built a fixture tree at a real filesystem location (not just
in-process) mimicking `packages/paperclip-runner`: a manifest declaring
both a reachable dependency (`smol-toml`, actually imported by the
fixture's `dist/index.js`/`testing.js`) and an unreachable one
(`react-markdown`, declared but never imported). Copied the real script
next to a fixture `server/package.json` and ran it as its own process
(`node server/scripts/verify-runner-vendor-dependencies.mjs`), twice:
- `smol-toml` missing from the fixture's server dependencies → the
script throws with the exact intended message and exits 1.
- `smol-toml` present, `react-markdown` absent → the script exits 0,
proving the unreachable dependency is correctly never flagged.
- Not verified locally: the real `packages/paperclip-runner` build, and
therefore the check running end-to-end against its true
`dist/index.js`/`dist/testing.js`. This sandbox has no Rust toolchain
(the runner's own build compiles a Cargo binary) and an incomplete
workspace install. CI's `Build` job (`.github/workflows/pr-trusted.yml`)
runs the real thing; I'll watch it on this PR.

## Risks

- The check's precision (scoping to what's reachable from
`index.js`/`testing.js`, rather than every declared runner dependency)
means a dependency that becomes reachable through some *other* export
subpath server starts importing later would need this check's
entry-point list updated too. That list is a 2-line array in the script
with a comment explaining why, and matches the only two paths server/src
actually imports today (verified by a repo-wide search).
- This only changes a build-time check; the actual vendored file layout
(`cp -R` of the runner's whole compiled tree) is byte-for-byte the same
as before this PR, so there's no behavioral change to the running server
beyond `smol-toml` now being present as intended.
- I could not exercise the real Rust-backed build locally (no Cargo in
this sandbox); see Verification. I am relying on CI's `Build` job to
confirm this end to end and will fix forward if it surfaces something
the fixture-based testing didn't.

## Model Used

Claude Sonnet 5 (`claude-sonnet-5`), via Claude Code. Standard
(non-extended) reasoning mode, with tool use (Bash, Read, Edit/Write,
`gh`) for repository exploration, local esbuild-based verification
against hand-built fixtures, and PR authoring. No extended thinking
mode.

DottaandDev Agent 25cf079ec5 feat(runner): add Codex-native application integration (#12591)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package is useful only when the application can start,
observe, and recover a native Codex run safely.
> - Existing direct adapters must keep their current execution and
finalization paths.
> - The application boundary therefore needs additive persistence,
authorization, coordination, and recovery behind an explicit
experimental adapter.
> - This pull request adds that Codex-only boundary without activating
generalized providers, remote environments, or the later task/SDK
surfaces.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Shared contracts, database persistence, adapter utilities, server
native-runtime services, and the experimental Paperclip Runner adapter.

**Problem or motivation**

The already-landed runner package has a qualified Codex path, but the
application needs durable native-run state, guarded runtime selection,
authenticated coordination, tool security, finalization, and recovery
before the experimental adapter can be exercised safely.

**Proposed solution**

Add a Codex-only `paperclip_runner` application path behind the existing
default-off native-runner setting. Bind native state and coordination to
company/run identity, preserve persisted-run recovery, and leave every
direct adapter on its existing legacy execution path.

**Alternatives considered**

The earlier stack boundary introduced a generalized executor and
remote-environment lifecycle here. That made this PR depend on
implementations in higher PRs and changed reusable sandbox behavior
globally. Those pieces are now deferred together to #12592.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md does not list a conflicting native-runner integration
project. This change adds the application boundary for the existing
Runner architecture.

## What Changed

- Added native run/result/finalization/provider-trace persistence,
shared validators, and idempotent migration/replay coverage.
- Added guarded Codex-only runtime selection, authenticated PRP
coordination, recovery, finalization, and interaction services.
- Added run/company-bound tool-gateway authorization, credential
redaction, SSRF protections, and replay-safe behavior.
- Added the explicit `paperclip_runner` adapter behind the default-off
rollout setting.
- Preserved legacy answered-question wake projection and direct-adapter
execution/finalization paths.
- Hardened cancellation so only owned in-memory child processes are
signaled; persisted recycled PIDs/process groups are never trusted.
- Retained the narrow Claude ACPX isolated-context security follow-up
discovered after #12590.
- Deferred the generalized executor, provider ingress, remote lifecycle,
SDK/lab/eval work, release-process changes, and lockfile.

## Verification

- Changed-file delta against `master`: 133 files.
- GitHub Actions is the authoritative verification environment for this
PR.
- Full CI, security, and Greptile review will run on this lowest
unmerged stack PR.
- Local tests/build/typecheck were not run because this checkout is
resource constrained.
- Static diff/reference checks pass, and `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.

## Risks

- This touches central heartbeat and agent-route code, so legacy
compatibility is the primary risk.
- Runtime selection remains Codex-only and explicit; direct Codex,
Claude, OpenCode, process, HTTP, and plugin adapters remain on their
existing paths.
- Fresh native starts fail closed while the rollout flag is off;
persisted native records remain readable and recoverable.
- Cancellation, company/run binding, tool calls, status decisions, and
completion writes are guarded or replay-safe.

planned core work may need to be redirected.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.6, with repository tools, code execution, and
parallel agent review.

Dotta 397de98193 feat(runner): add flagged Codex execution adapter (#12188)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner now has protocol, provider, tool, package,
persistence, and hidden server boundaries.
> - The server still cannot select that path for a real agent heartbeat.
> - A new runtime must not change any existing direct adapter.
> - An experimental runtime must fail closed when its rollout flag is
off.
> - This pull request adds one guarded Codex vertical slice through
runnerd.
> - The benefit is a production-built runner path that users cannot
start by default.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11962

Refs #12111

Refs #12169

Refs #12176

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package, server
orchestration, shared settings, and adapter configuration UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The hidden PRP coordinator cannot execute a real heartbeat. The
application also needs an explicit rollout boundary before it can expose
the experimental runner. Existing direct adapters must keep their
current execution and finalization behavior.

**Proposed solution**

Add `paperclip_runner` as a Codex-only adapter behind the default-off
`enableNativeRunner` instance flag. Select the native runtime only for
that adapter. Persist the run binding before runnerd starts. Wait for
the durable PRP result and terminal event. Resume the real Codex
provider thread on later heartbeats. Keep persisted native runs readable
and recoverable after the flag changes.

**Alternatives considered**

The server could route `codex_local` through runnerd. That option would
change an existing adapter and weaken rollback safety. The server could
expose all providers now. That option would add unreviewed provider
behavior. The build could depend on a prebuilt runner binary. That
option would make source builds architecture-dependent and difficult to
verify.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface. It
is the guarded execution step after the merged hidden runner boundaries.

**Additional context**

This is the next replacement for the closed large runner pull request.
Task-thread presentation remains a separate follow-up so this change can
preserve the current direct-adapter UI.

## What Changed

- Add `paperclip_runner` as an explicit Codex-only adapter.
- Add the default-off `enableNativeRunner` instance flag.
- Reject fresh create, hire, import, switch, and execution requests
while the flag is off.
- Allow edits to persisted runner agents while the flag is off.
- Recover an already persisted native run even after the flag is
disabled.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter on its existing runtime path.
- Persist an immutable native run binding and revisioned completion
contract before runnerd starts.
- Execute server to PRP to runnerd to Codex to server through the hidden
coordinator.
- Validate the durable result against the terminal event and exact
completion criteria before finalization.
- Preserve the Codex provider thread ID and use `thread/resume` on the
next heartbeat.
- Strip unsupported Codex configuration fields from the experimental
adapter.
- Build a target-native release runner binary from source and vendor it
into the server distribution.
- Install Rust only in the Docker build stage. Do not add a workflow or
lockfile change.
- Stop the runner process group on completion, cancellation, and forced
shutdown.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All 69
TypeScript tests and 58 Rust tests pass. Protocol, conformance, replay,
formatting, and generated-file checks pass.
- Run the 12 focused adapter, settings, runtime-selection, coordinator,
direct-isolation, and real Codex integration test files. All 186 tests
pass.
- The real integration test uses PostgreSQL, HTTP, WebSocket, runnerd,
and a fake Codex app server. It proves one `thread/start` followed by
one `thread/resume`.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Build the Docker `build` target from a clean context. Confirm that the
server distribution contains an executable `paperclip-runnerd` built
with Debian Rust 1.85.
- Start the server through the source-mode tsx entry point with the
package `dist` directory absent. Confirm the vendor shim resolves source
exports and the server boots.
- Run `pnpm test:run` twice. On this macOS host, 405 files pass and 1
file skips. Eight untouched workspace and loopback tests fail because
macOS resolves `/tmp` and `/var` through `/private` and because
PID-derived test ports exceed 65535. Linux CI must pass the full suite.
- Confirm that the diff contains 52 files. Confirm that it contains no
`.github` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.

## Risks

- The feature flag is off by default. A fresh native start fails with a
stable error while the flag is off.
- A persisted native run remains recoverable after the flag changes.
This prevents rollout changes from corrupting recorded work.
- Only local Codex execution is accepted. Other providers and remote
work modes fail closed.
- Existing direct adapters do not start runnerd, create native rows, use
native status arbitration, or enter native finalization.
- The runner receives its one-use bootstrap ticket through the child
environment. The server does not put the ticket in command arguments or
logs.
- The server validates the company, task, agent, run, runner, session,
completion contract, result, and terminal binding before it accepts
completion.
- The build compiles a target-native Rust binary. Cross-platform release
packaging remains a later concern. Source builds and Docker builds
compile for their current target.
- Docker needs enough build memory for the existing server TypeScript
compile. The Docker build stage sets a 4 GB V8 heap limit.

size are not exposed. The model used agentic reasoning, repository
tools, code execution, and test execution.

Dotta 9964b034bb feat(runner): add hidden server PRP coordinator (#12176)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner needs a narrow server trust boundary before an
adapter can start it.
> - The package has durable runner transport, but the server does not
host or authorize that transport.
> - Native persistence exists, but no writer connects PRP events to
those records.
> - A direct adapter must not enter this path by accident.
> - This pull request adds a hidden, run-bound PRP server coordinator.
> - The benefit is a recoverable server boundary that remains
unavailable to normal execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11962

Refs #12129

Refs #12169

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package and server
orchestration.

**Problem or motivation**

The server cannot authenticate runnerd, commit PRP events before ACK,
authorize semantic tools, or enter native finalization from a durable
runner result. The application must have this hidden boundary before a
guarded adapter can use the runner.

**Proposed solution**

Add an authenticated PRP WebSocket authority and register it only for
one exact persisted native Codex run. Bind each connection and event to
the company, issue, agent, run, runner, session, turn, item, and
verified runner identity. Commit each event before its cumulative ACK.
Project only authorized same-task read tools. Rebuild the accepted
result and finalization record from durable result and terminal events.

**Alternatives considered**

The server could expose a broad runner API key or route semantic calls
through existing adapter endpoints. Those options grant too much
authority and weaken replay recovery. The server could also add the
user-facing adapter in this pull request. That option would mix rollout
selection with the transport trust boundary and make legacy
compatibility harder to review.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface.

## What Changed

- Add the durable PRP server authority with one-use bootstrap tickets,
reconnect leases, encrypted frames, bounded state, cumulative ACKs, and
idempotent commands.
- Add `/api/runner/v1/connect/:runId`. Derive its `ws://` or `wss://`
URL from the configured Paperclip API URL.
- Register one authority only after the coordinator verifies the
complete native Codex run binding.
- Commit validated PRP events to `heartbeat_run_events` before ACK.
Reject source gaps and conflicting replays.
- Rebuild accepted results and finalization records from durable result
and terminal events. Enforce finalization owner leases and retry times.
- Project five same-task read operations. Recheck run, agent, task, and
company authority for each call.
- Keep the route hidden. No adapter selects this coordinator, and no
code starts runnerd.
- Vendor the compiled runner TypeScript runtime into the server package
while keeping the workspace package development-only for the server.
- Document the package, database writer, run-log payload, and credential
exclusions.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All
TypeScript protocol checks and 69 Vitest tests pass, including
commit-before-ACK crash recovery. All 43 Rust unit tests and 13 Rust
integration tests pass. Conformance and replay parity pass.
- Run the focused server WebSocket, coordinator, package-build, and
startup-wiring suites. All 26 tests pass, including a clean-checkout
reproduction with the runner `dist` directory absent.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm test:run`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Confirm that the diff contains 19 files. Confirm that it contains no
workflow or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.

## Risks

- The server installs the WebSocket route at startup. An unregistered or
malformed run path fails closed and creates no native record.
- Bootstrap tickets are one use. The private state directory uses mode
`0700`, and the state file uses mode `0600`. The file stores derived
authentication verifiers and never stores raw tickets or lease tokens.
- The journal has explicit frame, command, event-window, and file-size
bounds. A bound violation closes the runner connection or rejects the
command.
- A runner event reaches the database before its ACK. A crash between
event commit and ACK causes a byte-equivalent replay, not a second
logical effect.
- The coordinator accepts only an existing queued or running native
Codex row with exact company, task, agent, runner, session, and
completion-contract ownership.
- Existing direct adapters do not call this service. They keep their
current execution, transcript, result, and finalization paths.
- The server has no production dependency on the private runner package.
Its build copies the compiled runtime into `server/dist`; the workspace
link is development-only. This adds no external package and does not
change the lockfile.

DottaandPaperclip ffff1fe6e3 feat(runner): define package API and verification boundary (#12129)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package now has protocol, transport, provider, catalog,
and authorization foundations.
> - Its first upstream package boundary should expose only the
implemented runtime and test-helper surfaces.
> - Rust correctness belongs in the repository existing build
verification, without introducing a parallel release process.
> - Direct package creation must build the files declared by the package
manifest.
> - This pull request defines the minimal package API and verifies the
optimized runner binaries in the existing PR and release Build jobs.
> - The benefit is a production-ready runner package boundary with
minimal build-process change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11962

This pull request replaces one bounded part of the archived large runner
change. It follows the package-local authorization change in #12126.

## What Changed

- Export only `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner` and
`@paperclipai/paperclip-runner/testing`.
- Keep Node-only fixture loading and semantic conformance helpers out of
the runtime root.
- Add a provider-neutral semantic conformance kit with stable JSON
comparison and fail-closed input checks.
- Keep deferred SDK, eval, browser, React, lab, and command surfaces
private.
- Pin the runner Rust toolchain to 1.97.1 with the minimal profile and
`rustfmt`.
- Run the Rust workspace tests in release mode.
- Launch the optimized `paperclip-runnerd` and fake-harness binaries in
process-level integration coverage.
- Add one `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all` step
to each existing PR and release Build job.
- Make the existing server `prepack` lifecycle run its existing build
after it prepares UI assets.
- Document that no production adapter starts runnerd yet.

This revision adds no standalone GitHub Actions job. It adds no server
runner dependency or runner vendoring. It adds no Docker bootstrap or
clean-consumer harness. It does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`
  - 66 TypeScript tests
  - 8 protocol contract tests
  - 56 Rust unit and integration tests
- Release-mode integration coverage launches the optimized runnerd and
fake-harness binaries.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts` (2 tests)
- Clean `pnpm pack` from `server/` rebuilt the server and produced both
`package/dist/index.js` and `package/dist/index.d.ts`.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs` (8
tests)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check`
- No `pnpm-lock.yaml` diff.
- The diff changes 12 files.

## Risks

The runner adds Rust work to the existing Build jobs. These jobs can
take longer on a cold cache. The pinned toolchain makes contributor and
CI behavior reproducible. Cargo tests use `--release` to verify
optimized executables. The server prepack lifecycle now performs the
build that its published entry points require. This can make direct
server packing slower. This pull request does not wire runnerd into the
server. It does not select runnerd for any adapter. Existing application
execution and finalization paths remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. Agentic coding mode used repository tools, code
execution, and automated tests.

DottaandPaperclip d166069bc4 Preserve built-in agent assets in server builds (#9339)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server package ships compiled runtime code plus static runtime
assets.
> - Built-in agent definitions live under `server/src/built-ins` and
runtime code resolves them relative to compiled server files.
> - The server build already copied onboarding assets into `dist`, but
it did not copy built-in agent assets alongside the compiled code.
> - Packaged server builds could therefore miss built-in agent
definitions even though source-based development runs worked.
> - This pull request extends the server build copy step to preserve
built-in agent assets in `dist/built-ins`.
> - The benefit is packaged server builds keep the same built-in agent
runtime assets available as source-based development runs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue found. This PR describes the underlying bug
inline using the bug report template fields.

### What happened?

`@paperclipai/server` build output copied `server/src/onboarding-assets`
into `server/dist/onboarding-assets`, but did not copy
`server/src/built-ins` into `server/dist/built-ins`. Runtime code for
built-in agents resolves those assets relative to the compiled server
files, so packaged builds could omit built-in agent markdown assets that
are present during source-based development.

### Expected behavior

Packaged server builds should include built-in agent assets under
`server/dist/built-ins`, matching the runtime location expected by the
compiled server code.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Check out current `master` before this PR.
2. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`.
3. Check for `server/dist/built-ins/agents/reflection-coach/AGENTS.md`.
4. Observe that the built-in agent asset is missing from the server
build output.

### Paperclip version or commit

Reproduces on current `master` before this PR. The fix is verified on
commit `2b89984ccb7857f06359bf65c48222f110c7aeff`.

### Deployment mode

Build/package artifact behavior. This can affect any deployment mode
that runs from the built server package rather than directly from
source.

### Installation method

Built from source with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`.

### Agent adapter(s) involved

Not adapter-specific. This is a core server packaging bug for built-in
agent assets.

### Database mode

Not database-related.

### Access context

Not applicable. This happens during package build output generation.

Related search:

- Searched public PRs/issues for `built-ins build copy
repo:paperclipai/paperclip`.
- Found no directly related open issue. One old closed Hermes adapter PR
was not directly related.

## What Changed

- Updated the `@paperclipai/server` build script to create
`dist/built-ins`.
- Added the copy step from `server/src/built-ins` into
`server/dist/built-ins` alongside the existing onboarding asset copy.
- Added a focused server package build-script test that asserts both
onboarding and built-in static runtime asset directories are copied into
`dist`.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build`
- `test -f server/dist/built-ins/agents/reflection-coach/AGENTS.md`

## Risks

Low risk. This changes only the package build asset copy step and adds
focused test coverage. The main risk is build-script portability, but it
follows the existing `mkdir -p` and `cp -R` pattern already used for
onboarding assets.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent in a tool-enabled Paperclip
heartbeat. Exact model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this runtime.
