Nicky LeachandPaperclip 0081863463 Fix isolated ACPX admission for assigned PRP tools (#17149)
## Thinking Path

- Paperclip uses Runner to execute agent tasks under Core's selected
policy.
- The ACPX sidecar can receive assigned MCP tools in its PRP catalog.
- Isolated admission still requires a separate native MCP endpoint for
those assignments.
- This check rejects a valid PRP route before the provider can start.
- This PR identifies the sidecar's PRP transport at the runtime-host
boundary.
- The benefit is that assigned tools work with the existing isolated
permission policy.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An isolated Claude task with an assigned MCP binding fails with
`assigned native MCP launch binding is unavailable` when Core delivers
its tools through PRP.

**Expected behavior**

The sidecar must accept its authenticated PRP tool bridge as the
assigned-tool route. Callers that use the native gateway must still
supply its complete binding.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open an isolated Claude sidecar session with `deny-all` permissions
and a read-only policy.
2. Supply an assigned MCP binding in the runtime context and its tools
in the PRP catalog.
3. Omit native gateway environment variables. Admission fails before
provider startup.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `92cfd701c39bb1ea394a796023481a21decb2532`.

**Deployment mode**

Runner with an ACPX sidecar and controller-owned tool delivery. Related
contract work: #16978. The search found no existing PR or issue for this
failure.

## What Changed

- Let runtime-host callers select PRP delivery when they supply the
semantic tool bridge.
- Select that route in the sidecar. Keep native gateway validation and
direct callers' default behavior.
- Preserve exact controller operation names in PRP mode, including the
compact assigned-MCP catalog. Keep existing aliases for other bridge
callers.
- Preserve the selected permission and read-only policies.
- Add one process-level sidecar regression and one host admission
regression. The host test calls the real authenticated MCP bridge.
- Document the route and refresh the generated Copilot source hashes.
The provider and profile versions stay the same.

## Verification

- Passed 11 focused tests after the rebase across the runtime host,
sidecar, tool bridge, and Copilot identity tests. They cover both
compact catalog operations, restricted and approve-all policies, legacy
aliases, missing and invalid gateway bindings, and the existing direct
gateway path.
- The process-level test crosses the real sidecar dispatcher and stops
at workspace validation before provider startup. The host test uses real
ownership sockets and MCP HTTP, with a fake provider port.
- The generated identity tests match the current source hashes. The
historical fixture stays unchanged.
- The standard review passed on the rebased commit. [Apex passed the
required 5/5
threshold](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/runs/119513362214)
on `e63a223`, with 11 files reviewed and no findings.
- Rebased onto master `734c265`. The conflicts affected generated source
identities and their test expectations. All reviewed behavior files
remain byte-for-byte unchanged. The user authorized retaining the Apex
result for this rebase. [CI passed on
`3facef5`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39685163239).
The final PR checks contain 56 passes and four expected skips. The
branch is current with master, has no conflicts, and has no unresolved
review comments.
- `node packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/copilot-profile-identity.mjs
--check` passed.
- Initial local runs exposed missing test dependencies and sandbox
denial of loopback sockets. After the scoped dependency install and
socket permission, the selected tests passed.
- Broad typecheck, build, and test verification runs in GitHub CI, as
requested. No live provider or model request was made.

## Risks

- PRP callers must supply the assigned tools in the controller-owned
catalog. The existing bridge still enforces its closed catalog and
authentication.
- An explicit PRP selection without a semantic bridge still fails.
Invalid native gateway bindings still fail.
- No database, protocol-frame, provider-version, or credential-storage
change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with source inspection, editing, and command
execution. The exact served model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 2a5a323e57 Add execution-owned Runner launch preparation (#16997)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - Runner can execute in a different environment from Core.
> - Core owns provider selection, policy, and resource assignments.
> - The execution environment must prepare its own files and paths.
> - A shared contract must keep these responsibilities separate.
> - This PR adds that contract to the Runner execution driver.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**
Runner transport prepares provider files on the controller before
launch. An execution owner cannot prepare those files in its own
environment through the existing driver.

**Proposed solution**
Add `prepareLaunch` to the execution driver. Supply versioned Core
requirements. Accept a configuration ID, requirements digest, and
ordinary provider descriptor. Validate Core policy and assignments
before launch. Keep existing provider session checks.

**Alternatives considered**
Provider-specific ownership flags would spread the boundary across
backends. Shell preparation would expose process details in the plugin
API.

Refs #16993, #16977. Both prerequisites are merged. This PR now targets
master. Native plugin integration and execution-host preparation follow
separately.

PR #16978 contains an earlier, unmerged prototype. Its
`persistentAgentHome` mode and skill path-map call will be replaced by
this preparation contract before activation. This PR preserves current
master callers of the skill helper.

## What Changed

- Add the optional preparation callback and an explicit Runner artifact
identity.
- Keep the built-in preparation path as the default.
- Validate provider policy and resource assignment identity. Preserve
instruction text when resource locations change.
- Persist the attachment seed after an authority epoch rotation, so a
later controller restart can recover the same run.
- Preserve explicit context removal on a new run. Only an omitted
context can reuse the saved context. Remove its registered instruction
framing when context is removed.
- Save exact requirements and configurations in a private file outside
Runner commands. Retain the active record across failed attachments. Use
current grants for new runs. Keep incompatible session changes rejected.
- Join delayed preparation during startup and warm attachment cleanup.
Retain an unsettled checkpoint after a timeout. Prevent work after
cancellation.
- Use the supplied Runner artifact for interrupted handoff recovery.
Restore the exact target configuration at each handoff crash boundary.
Check the Runner state when the final ACK may be lost.
- Bind the changed shared sources to Copilot profile v51. Preserve the
v50 receipt and current integrity checks.

## Verification

- Workspace typecheck passed.
- All 487 affected Runner transport, control-plane, preparation store,
builder, policy, and profile tests passed on commit `eaf8ae8d1`.
- Workspace build and typecheck passed again on commit
`eaf8ae8d12c7ef2d22d226e4b3f05fdbf79ef4cb`.
- Both warm attachment cleanup regressions fail before the fix. They
pass after the fix. The tests cover delayed preparation, timeout
retention, and concurrent attachment rejection.
- The routed handoff regression fails with a missing controller binary
before the fix. It passes after the fix. The execution owner launches
the real fixture Runner.
- The 200,000-byte instruction regression fails before the fix and
passes after it. Four prepared handoff crash cases verify exact request
and configuration recovery. The store tests verify private file mode,
conflicting records, corrupt data, and active-run retention.
- A real Runner with a controlled fake provider verifies execution-host
paths, exact recovery, warm reuse, incompatible profile rejection, and
cancellation. It does not contact an external provider.
- The regression found undefined settings in strict PRP command hashing.
Requirements now contain only JSON values. The warm transition test
passes without changing PRP validation.
- The broader root suite on the prerequisite finished with 22,420
passing tests, seven failed tests in unchanged Git and diagnostic code,
and two suite setup errors because Cargo was absent from its PATH. This
PR does not claim a passing full root suite.
- The CI Build job passed compilation and production runtime boot, then
its runner received a shutdown signal during the clean public install
check. Other jobs reported lost communication with their self-hosted
runners. The failed jobs passed on retry on the same commit; successful
jobs kept their results.
- The current Superagent security scan is inconclusive because its
pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. GitHub rejected the
check rerun request through the available API. This is not a passing
security scan.
- Standard Greptile and Greptile Apex each returned 5/5 on `eaf8ae8d1`.
All review threads are resolved. CI passed on attempt 2. Current checks
have 55 successes, four optional skips, and the inconclusive security
scan described above. The branch is ready, mergeable, and current with
master.
- No live provider qualification or deployment was run.

## Risks

- A preparation owner must store configurations and keep retries bound
to the same task and requirements.
- Copilot source binding requires a new profile identity. This PR does
not claim fresh live qualification.
- The callback is an SDK extension. This PR does not connect it to a
plugin task process owner or add a Launcher endpoint.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Reasoning and repository tools. The exact serving
model identifier and context size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 8193abb936 feat(claude): default qualified macOS and Linux targets to Paperclip Runner (#15997)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip must run the selected agent on its selected host.
> - Claude needs verified packages for each supported target.
> - A Mac controller must select the correct Linux provider pack.
> - New defaults must follow package and execution evidence.
> - This PR adds Claude platform packaging and target-specific pack
selection.
> - Existing Codex Linux ARM64 behavior remains intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15683. This PR depends on #15993 and #15994. Related scope: #15422
and #15224.

## What Changed

- Reuse the merged four-target daemon producer/consumer matrix. Add
target-owned Linux provider packs and carry their immutable identities
through release assembly and vendoring.
- Reuse master’s landed pinned Claude SDK ARM64 executable admission and
retain package-integrity, architecture and no-follow admission.
- Select target-specific remote packs so Mac controllers can use Linux
hosts without a development pack override.
- Preserve read-only runtime context on SSH startup and resume without
accepting unverified old content.
- Check ordinary installed Claude readiness without injected package
authority. Retain Codex and Linux x64 consumer checks.
- Extend Claude automatic target selection for the remaining qualified
package targets. Retain unsupported-platform and external-override
behavior.
- Qualify managed Daytona snapshot names through provider IDs during
Claude Connect. Pin native acquisition to the measured ID. Preserve a
revocation marker after failed probes or target edits, and block native
acquisition until requalification instead of falling back to a mutable
name. Preserve immutable-image proof, company and account boundaries,
and Legacy acquisition.

## Verification

- Reconciled with master `9179d8dcc3e908c217fde4f63c9d08ccf8132eeb`
through the prerequisite stack, retaining the merged startup fix and
latest Codex Linux ARM64 behavior.
- [Four-target exact-source package
qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39267321383)
passed on source `04e0202ca81387b17cbe7fd094a8338648356fe9`: all four
native builds, public-package assembly, Linux x64 verification and clean
installed consumers on Apple Silicon, Intel Mac and Linux ARM64. The
later master reconciliation adds shared OpenRouter attribution and
changes runtime source. This historical result keeps its original source
identity; [later
qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39281100929)
passed at `dca62c7aeb4b45f0dd91a8e18d386a16a2658ef8`. It predates the
subsequent TypeScript startup fix.
- Fresh local product acceptance on integrated source
`b2c9fe43f9cd3bc5dd9d22552da0148845ba71a4` completed a useful file and
follow-up through native Claude/Opus 5.5, High effort and the API-key
connection. Both actual browser downloads were independently checked;
the revision preserves the original body and session continuity. Total
task estimates: $0.518432800. Ordinary web and API creation saved
defaults with the native experiment disabled.
- Local focused verification passed 993 startup/session tests, 243 UI
tests, 12 workflow security tests, direct server/UI TypeScript checks,
and token/palette gates before the last review changes. Initial
DB-backed snapshot pin/revocation coverage passed 18 cases; the final
serial route suites pass 122 credential/permission and 232
snapshot/environment cases after correcting a test hook timeout.
Current-head cloud suites pass.
- Preserved the failed pre-provider local fixture and its full pending
reservation. The successful fixture has no unpriced or pending usage.
Historical failed Cloud journeys, accounting holds, source identities
and subscription limitations remain in the dated plan.
- All Docker/Rust release production was performed in cloud CI. No local
Docker image was built. An inadvertently invoked local Rust prerequisite
was stopped.
- Current-head cloud CI is green. All three stack PRs have fresh
Greptile 5/5 reviews and zero unresolved review threads. Required
typecheck, test and build gates ran in cloud CI; Docker work stayed
remote. Earlier failed checks remain in their original runs.

- The final master merge preserves task-loading, permission,
skill-retention and OpenRouter changes. Pi uses a fresh combined profile
27, preserving both historical profile-24 declarations; Copilot remains
profile 22. Focused protocol checks passed 155 cases (one skipped), the
updated Pi attestation check passed 18 (one skipped), and 91
evaluation/catalog checks passed.

- Latest-application manual continuation passed in 37.942 seconds on
`695e5c005a85bddc8711d3fcddcaf6b7e1fb64d0`, with High effort, native
Opus 5.5, Anthropic API attribution, the same resumed Claude session, an
independently checked 635-byte file and persisted Done status. It uses
the earlier verified Mac daemon; the preceding-source package
qualification passed at `dca62c7aeb4b45f0dd91a8e18d386a16a2658ef8`. That
package run predates the small TypeScript startup fix and is not
relabeled as qualification for it.
- Upgrade limitation: changed compiled sidecar identity rejected old
durable launch state and recovery hit session-open bounds before
eventually resuming. That attempt was operator-cancelled and retained;
the successful manual continuation does not qualify seamless upgrades.

- Local latency profile, Opus 5.5/High unchanged: three alternating
real-ACP loopback samples per variant reduce median provider-ready time
from 5.081s to 4.034s. The matched real API task startup improves from
5.533s to 4.348s, but total reply time changes from 17.933s to 20.221s
because agent work varies. This establishes a startup saving of about
one second, not a consistent total-reply speedup. A real candidate
follow-up passed in 20.146s and resumed the same saved session. The
loopback fixture makes no external model requests; failed initial probes
remain retained.
- The startup change passes 107 focused runtime/effort/lease tests, 53
profile checks (one skipped), TypeScript checking and the
TypeScript-only runtime build. Native hire fixture checks pass 70 tests;
their first local run retained a socket-hangup failure and stale
OpenCode expectation, both accounted for before the passing rerun.
Broader required checks run in cloud CI.

## Risks

- **Experience needs improvement:** successful connection setup still
shows “Connection needs attention” because runtime checks are deferred.
Cold provider-pack upload took 122–126 seconds per run while the task
mainly showed “Thinking.” The tested Core-only preview excludes private
Cloud UI plugins; this is not full Cloud distribution or subscription
qualification. Desktop dark theme was tested; mobile and comprehensive
accessibility were not. The portable report validates, but gallery
interaction could not be inspected because host preview was queued.

- The optional supply-chain scan returned neutral/inconclusive because
GitHub Actions package coverage and infrastructure parsing are
unavailable. It is not counted as a successful supply-chain
qualification. Exact package, daemon and image integrity checks passed.
- A stale, missing or wrong-architecture pack must fail admission. It
must not change runner or target silently.
- Provider-pack source changes invalidate affected earlier execution
results. Existing unknown-cost and cleanup holds remain intact.
- Live subscription execution remains unverified under the API-key
qualification direction. Built-in authentication flows are retained.
ARM64 cloud-image production is deferred. Merge and production
deployment remain separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution and browser testing. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 56e09cd19f docs: add native Runner integration playbook (#16846)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native Runner connects those agents to harnesses through provider
drivers.
> - Adding a harness crosses protocol, setup, lifecycle, packaging, and
product boundaries.
> - Existing guidance does not provide one complete procedure for this
work.
> - This pull request adds a native Runner skill, detailed playbook, and
working templates.
> - Contributors can use them to define a release, implement the
integration, and verify the delivered result.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Issue type**

Missing documentation.

**Where is the issue?**

Native Runner contribution guidance in `doc/DEVELOPING.md` and
`packages/paperclip-runner/README.md`.

**What's wrong?**

Contributors must reconstruct the requirements, protocol mapping, normal
setup, lifecycle rules, packaging, and acceptance process when they add
a harness. The legacy direct-adapter recipe covers a different execution
path.

**Suggested fix**

Add a self-contained native Runner procedure. Include capability
research, a finite release contract, implementation boundaries,
reproducible tests, normal installation, and release evidence. State
each lesson directly so contributors need no private chats, tasks, or
evidence archives. The duplicate search found no existing playbook PR.

## What Changed

- Add `create-runner-adapter` for new native Runner harness
integrations.
- Add a detailed playbook based on the Pi, Cursor, and Copilot
integration lessons.
- Cover model and instruction admission, connection setup, rich events,
durable interactions, recovery, cancellation, packaging, and Product E2E
acceptance.
- Add templates for scope, capabilities, attempts, failures, jobs, and
release handoff.
- Link the procedure from the development guide and Runner README.
- Keep legacy adapters as a compatibility boundary.

## Verification

- `git diff origin/master --check` passed.
- `node scripts/validate-doc-links.mjs` passed from
`packages/paperclip-runner` and checked 53 documentation files.
- All 71 Markdown links in the new reusable files resolve to repository
paths or public provider documentation.
- Skill YAML, naming, description, and scaffold checks passed.
- A private-reference audit passed for the reusable skill, playbook, and
templates.
- The legacy direct-adapter skill matches the base version.
- Full local runtime checks were attempted with pnpm 9.15.4. `pnpm -r
typecheck` stopped because Node type definitions are missing. `pnpm
test:run` and `pnpm build` stopped because `cli/node_modules/tsx` is
missing. This checkout has no installed dependencies. These commands did
not establish runtime test or build results.
- Full remote CI passed on commit
`88b4fc4832d95807da1f5e48029a183b3dc62b6c`: build, typecheck, general
and serialized server tests, Runner checks, browser tests, and the
canary dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39262297681).
- All 55 applicable checks passed. The two Storybook checks were skipped
for this change.
- Greptile gave the current commit 5/5. There are no review comments or
unresolved threads.

## Risks

Low risk. The procedure can drift as the Runner contracts and test entry
points change. It records its source baseline and tells contributors to
inspect current declarations. Historical lessons describe failure
patterns; they do not certify current binaries.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with `gpt-6-astra` and `gpt-6.1-sol`, both using xhigh
reasoning. Context-window sizes were not exposed. The models used
repository search, terminal tools, and file edits.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6f8ad3d77b Add verified session-local stdio MCP transport to Runner (#16526)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agent runs and their tool authority.
> - Runner supplies provider sessions with assigned MCP connections.
> - The current native connection binding supports an HTTP gateway only.
> - Execution hosts also have private local tools with stdio MCP
interfaces.
> - Those tools need session-local registration and safe concurrency.
> - This pull request adds verified local stdio assignments beside the
existing gateway.
> - Providers receive the existing tool schemas and image content.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Runner can supply a native provider session with an HTTP MCP gateway,
but cannot also assign a verified local stdio MCP server without
persistent provider configuration. Execution hosts need a session-local
transport for local MCP tools, coordination for calls sharing a
resource, and native schema/image delivery. The pinned native Codex
client drops MCP images when `structuredContent` is also present.

**Proposed solution**

Add general stdio MCP transport support using host-assigned executable
digests, arguments, environment and a private Unix socket identifying
the shared resource. Tool implementations supply their own schemas and
responses; Runner forwards their native MCP schemas and content.
Register the transport for the current provider session. Serialize calls
across processes, keep unknown outcomes fenced, and authorize assigned
native Codex tools without a new prompt while routing explicit tool
confirmations through existing PRP permission requests. Retain the HTTP
gateway and applicable permission policy.

**Alternatives considered**

Reimplementing tools or translating their actions into provider-specific
APIs would tie the transport to individual tool implementations. Global
provider config would leak session assignments. Shell commands alone do
not deliver native MCP images or preserve MCP approval requests.

**Roadmap alignment**

This completes the existing Runner transport boundary. Related: #10690
(operator config for the legacy ACPX engine), #11605 (gateway delivery
of installed stdio connections), #16486 (preconfigured provider homes).
This change assigns local tools on the execution host and leaves those
administration paths intact.

## What Changed

- Add reserved, verified stdio bindings for native Codex and through the
shared ACPX runtime. ACPX clients must support stdio MCP assignments.
Read-only sessions omit the binding. No home/project config is
rewritten.
- Run the backend with only its assigned environment through the
verified executable launch path.
- Serialize all calls sharing a private Unix socket across sessions.
Metadata remains responsive. Queued cancellation prevents execution;
active calls remain fenced until acknowledgement. Unknown outcomes
require a resource restart.
- Authorize host-assigned native Codex tools without a new per-call
prompt, matching existing execution-host shell utilities. Preserve
explicit tool deny/prompt rules. Route requested MCP tool confirmations
through one-time PRP approvals, bound to the active thread and turn.
Keep shell escalation disabled and existing tool deny rules effective.
ACPX adapters retain their applicable ACPX permission policy.
- Preserve schemas and image blocks. For native Codex 0.160/0.162,
retain structured metadata as MCP text on image-bearing results to avoid
the client's image-loss bug. ACPX adapters receive the original
response.
- Document transport authority, cancellation and recovery limits.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed with pnpm 9.15.4 and Rust
1.97.1 on macOS arm64.
- Before Apex, full `paperclip-runner-core` Rust tests passed. After the
fixes, all 379 library tests and eight subprocess tests using a generic
stdio MCP fixture pass. Those subprocess tests cover schema/image
passthrough, assigned-only environment, executable drift, call
serialization, cancellation and unknown outcomes. The native Codex suite
passed 91 tests with two intentionally ignored;
`receipt_limit_rejects_the_call_and_keeps_polling_when_interrupt_fails`
timed out waiting for `turn.interrupted`, including an isolated retry.
The unchanged pre-fix commit `80917b301a2309f7966a466cf0c198a2112be2d5`
reproduces the same timeout in isolation; this local native-suite run is
not claimed as fully passing.
- All 252 native controller tests pass against the final narrowed
approval branch. Focused TypeScript transport/permission suites passed
(298 tests); final binding, read-only host, policy and adapter checks
passed (105 tests).
- **Provider-client smoke coverage:** pinned Codex 0.160.0 through
native Runner and Claude SDK 0.3.286 used local stdio MCP servers and
loopback model API fixtures without live model credentials. These
clients define the smoke-test coverage; this is not an exhaustive
adapter compatibility test. Image responses reached the next model
request as typed image blocks. Native Codex checks also verified
unattended execution without approval requests, explicit per-tool prompt
denial without backend execution, disabled-tool rules, and stale-turn
approval rejection.
- Two Greptile concurrency findings were reproduced with failing
subprocess tests and fixed: pending cancellation under output
backpressure, and a ctime-based fence reset after chmod. Initial checks
exposed Codex CLI option-scope and key-quoting errors, which were
corrected. The existing ordinary elicitation regression also exposed an
overly broad request branch; the final branch handles explicit tool
approvals only.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted. The broad local server suite hit
persistent embedded PostgreSQL startup failures and unrelated local Git
fixture failures; it was stopped with the failure log retained. Those
local results are not claimed as passing. Hosted Linux CI gates passed
on the reviewed runtime commit, as recorded below.
- First Apex review found three additional defects, now fixed with
regressions: keep the resource-lock socket snapshot instead of sampling
the socket twice; project native permission requests with durable
turn/item IDs while retaining provider IDs in details; validate provider
response conversion before marking a request as settling. The retry
regression failed before the fix. Focused Codex request/adapter checks
pass (23 tests), server permission projection passes (16 tests), and all
379 Runner library tests pass. The broader database-backed bridge suite
was attempted but its local PostgreSQL setup timed out; 29 tests did not
execute. This local failure is retained, not claimed as passing.
- Runtime acceptance before the documentation clarification, on
`bd4fccae001157beb5bc76ff17c1920a5db3105a`: standard Greptile 5/5, then
Apex 5/5 with no unresolved threads; all 60 checks complete successfully
or intentionally skip. Ten CI jobs were interrupted by the same runner
shutdown, including one stale job that required cancellation before
retry; the same-commit retry passed. Hosted Rust tests also pass,
including the native suite with the local baseline timeout noted above.
- `git diff --check`, map validation, and pre-push secret/PII scan
passed.

## Risks

- No live model account or deployment isolation qualification was run.
The loopback fixture proves the actual vendor-client request format, not
model interpretation.
- Stdio MCP support uses the current host-assignment contract: each
binding requires a verified executable and a private Unix socket
identifying the serialized resource. Other platforms retain the HTTP
path. No provider version was upgraded.
- A lost acknowledgement blocks subsequent calls until the host restarts
the assigned resource. Direct shell calls are outside this MCP fence and
retain the existing shell policy.
- Preconfigured Claude remains unattended and denies interactive
approval requests. Host assignment authorizes native Codex local tools;
it must be supplied only for sessions already authorized to use the
resource.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning and repository/tool execution. The
session does not expose a more specific model identifier or
context-window size.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip fa9f3f8a08 feat(runner): support preconfigured user homes for Codex and ACPX (#16486)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Runner launches the selected provider and keeps durable session
state.
> - Runner currently prepares private provider homes for each session.
> - Operators can already have working login, skills, and MCP
configuration on the execution machine.
> - This PR adds an explicit mode that uses that existing setup.
> - Runner keeps its task bridge and session ownership while leaving the
user's configuration in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation:** Rebuilding a provider home is unnecessary
when the execution account is already configured.

**Proposed solution:** Add `homeMode: "preconfigured"` to Runner adapter
config and runnerd transport options. Keep `"isolated"` as the default.
Initially support native Codex and ACPX Claude.

**Alternatives considered:** Continue copying user configuration into a
private home, or add an approval workflow. Both add work outside this
feature's scope.

**Roadmap alignment:** This extends the existing cross-provider Runner.
It does not add another runtime.

Related work: #14056 covers managed Codex credentials. #14474 covers
command environment delivery. This mode uses user-owned credentials and
retains the existing launch boundaries.

## What Changed

- Add a closed v7 launch contract for the selected home mode. Existing
contracts retain their behavior.
- Keep homeMode under operator control. Reject task overrides and
agent-authenticated changes, including removal through replacements,
adapter changes, or rollback. Ignore stored task values and exclude it
from automatic hire inheritance.
- Skip managed AI login, assigned-skill materialization, and external
MCP setup in preconfigured mode. Preserve the Runner task/completion
bridge.
- Keep protocol state and provider lifetime fences scoped to the Runner
session. Different sessions can share a home.
- Fail preconfigured ACPX planning/read-only launches before provider
admission until a read-only user-home launch is qualified. Use isolated
mode or native Codex for planning.
- Reject ACPX approval requests. Keep native Codex on `never`. Local
permission rules and hooks remain effective. Initially require the
default Runner ACPX `approve-all` setting; other Runner policies are
unqualified in this mode and fail before launch.
- Keep the internal ACPX bridge in a stable session namespace,
preserving an existing user MCP server named `paperclip`.
- Reject preconfigured ACPX Codex before launch until a session
permission profile can enforce Runner-state denial. Remove the
unprotected full-access mode switch; use native Codex or isolated mode
for that model family.
- Bump Pi to profile 23 because its attestation covers shared Runner
source changed here. Preserve profile 22 for historical recovery, and
update Docker/package verification inputs.
- Fence recovery on mode and home bindings. Fail missing
provider-history recovery without starting a replacement session.
Exclude the external Codex home from backups and credential cleanup.
- Discover remote HOME on the execution machine. Do not project
controller HOME or XDG paths onto it.
- Separate task instructions from Codex ACP isolation and update the
generated provider digest.
- Keep remote configured-environment manifests consistent when dropping
controller paths. Preserve exact Claude model IDs through per-launch
environment settings, without editing the user home or patching the
provider.

## Verification

- Targeted local checks cover native contracts and launch allowlists,
user-config preservation, provider admission, permissions, session
recovery, remote environment projection, heartbeat preparation, and
operator-only configuration. Runner, shared, and server TypeScript
checks and the Rust binary build pass; generated ACPX profiles are
current.
- Following the latest master integration, all 757 server
configuration/executor tests and 115 Runner admission/recovery tests
passed. Additional review-fix checks passed: 103 planning contract/host
tests, 78 provider-backend tests, 95 route/preparation/inheritance
tests, 43 task-validator tests, and 43 workspace-policy tests. Counts
describe separate runs and can overlap.
- The real pinned Claude ACP/SDK regression reproduces exact-model
aliasing without the fix (`claude-sonnet-5-5` becomes `sonnet`) and
passes with the fix. All 89 adapter tests pass. User settings remain
byte-for-byte unchanged.
- Localhost-only Claude SDK probes with synthetic credentials verify the
private bridge runs, local `ask` reaches the existing reject callback,
local `deny` blocks without a callback, and a user MCP server named
`paperclip` remains available. No user model allowlist is required.
- Review regressions cover fail-closed provider admission, saved-mode
recovery before routing, controller-home path removal without
configured-environment manifest drift, pre-launch rejection of
unqualified read-only ACPX launches, and denial of task/agent changes to
the operator-owned home mode.
- Before rebase, `d4d4ee2aebe4cb88c4f4d9ef8e22fed4b36b87be` received
standard Greptile 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Prior Apex findings
are fixed and covered by regressions. No manual Greptile retrigger is
requested for this rebase, per reviewer direction.
- The prior PR head and master hit the same GitHub runner encoding crash
in workspace-b on three PR attempts, including diagnostic logging
([prior PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38818474563/job/116714538405),
[prior master
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38819528748/job/116712423193)).
Rebased onto `origin/master` at `c3ffa3f0dd` to pull in its bridge-test
index correction. The rebased head
`edd153db410bea063b645e0000aa68649f287b00` passes all CI checks ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38824676914)),
including workspace-b. Greptile's automatic standard review is 5/5 on
this exact head, with no unresolved threads; no manual review was
requested.
- Local workspace-b investigation passed 911 shared tests and 3,868
tests across the remaining 15 workspace projects. The catalog run
separately hit an existing ignored
`.agents/skills/design-guide/SKILL.md` description-budget violation in
this checkout; that file is untracked, outside the PR, and left
untouched. Repeating shared tests with CI reporting enabled also passed.
- Rebase verification: the final Git tree exactly matches the previously
reviewed branch combined with current master. All 192 Runner
admission/contract tests, 61 server preparation/provider tests, and 68
bridge tests pass, as do Runner/server TypeScript and generated-profile
checks. The real Claude adapter fixture hit an `ENOTEMPTY` cleanup race
on its initial run; all 89 adapter tests passed on retry.
- Apex on rebased head `edd153db` returned 2/5: ACPX Codex selected full
access without enforcing Runner-state denial, and agent configuration
replacement could remove the operator mode. Both are fixed in
`26e14dbbf`. Preconfigured ACPX Codex is temporarily unqualified;
re-enabling it requires session permission enforcement on thread/turn
operations and a real filesystem-denial probe. The config guard covers
effective replacements, adapter changes, and rollback while allowing
ordinary agent merges and operator removal. All 190 focused Runner
tests, 103 server tests, both typechecks, and generated-profile checks
pass. Standard review and CI passed before the next Apex request.
- CI on `26e14dbbf` passed 1,967 Runner-shard tests but hit the
previously observed `ENOTEMPTY` fixture cleanup race after successful
Claude model admission. `eb83284fb` adds bounded filesystem retries to
that fixture's teardown; all 87 adapter tests pass. Assertions and
production cleanup behavior are unchanged. Head
`eb83284fb42ee19a15d9a93b106c1bbb07e1695e` passes all 59 CI checks ([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38829500857))
and standard Greptile at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Apex also
completed at **5/5** on that exact head ([Apex
result](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16486#issuecomment-6201559527)).
All review threads are resolved, the branch has no merge conflicts, and
the PR remains unmerged.
- No live paid-provider or remote-machine smoke was performed. The
lockfile remains unchanged under the repository's refresh-bot policy;
local dependency installation resolved the changed patch hash.

## Risks

This explicit opt-in grants Codex tools access to the execution home
(read-only in planning), including credentials. Native Codex separately
denies Runner-owned protocol state. ACPX Claude retains its existing
provider trust boundary, and the isolated default is unchanged.
Providers may refresh credentials and update their own metadata.

User configuration can block tools or the completion reporter. Existing
blocked results and failure diagnostics remain the recovery path. Edit
the local settings and retry; no new approval workflow is added.

External provider history remains on the execution machine and is not
backed up by Runner. Remote HOME discovery requires `getent` and fails
explicitly when unavailable. Other harnesses need separate
qualification.

The Codex ACP bundle digest changes. Existing sessions tied to the old
bundle may need a fresh session. No database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning and code execution. The exact
runtime model ID was not exposed.

fd057f6ac4 fix(runner): keep OpenCode turns alive through oversized SSE events
Retain bounded OpenCode SSE events without restarting the event stream. Preserve canonical tool identity, status, output tails, original UTF-8 sizes, and truthful truncation markers. Bound id-less event deduplication with hashes.

Cover fragmented and complete large frames, exact-limit split separators, bulk input retention pressure, truncation-record exhaustion, and unpaired surrogate byte counts. Full current-head CI and Apex 5/5 passed. The unrelated local post-tool answer assertion was reproduced on unchanged baseline source.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip c30fb7d2b7 refactor(core): share Runner execution lifecycle (#16318)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Core starts Runners in local, SSH, and sandbox environments.
> - Coding runs, Dot runs, and setup probes repeat connection setup
code.
> - These paths must keep the same preparation, authentication, and
cleanup order.
> - This pull request gives them one execution lifecycle contract and
one server connection driver.
> - Core keeps the existing PRP control plane after connection.
> - The benefit is one place to maintain environment routing before
adding another execution provider.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Runner environment preparation and connection setup across local, SSH,
and sandbox execution.

**Current behavior**

The coding transport owns the environment hook type. Dot borrows that
type. The server repeats connection selection, registration, ingress
activation, and release in task execution and setup probes. Changes to
one path can miss another path.

**Proposed behavior**

Use a shared `RunnerExecutionDriver` contract. Route built-in task
execution and remote setup probes through
`createNativeRunnerExecutionDriver`. Keep provider session setup,
process supervision, PRP commands, and recovery logic on their existing
paths.

**Reason and benefit**

Environment code can prepare resources and provide a connection without
adding another PRP execution path. The same driver preserves local
loopback, remote outbound WSS, and authorized sandbox ingress.

**Breaking changes**

None intended. Existing flat SDK options remain compatible. This is an
in-process contract. It does not add a plugin wire contract or Launcher
APIs.

**Additional context**

Related: #15406 proposes plugin-provided Runner execution. This change
starts from `master` and does not depend on that PR. It extracts the
existing lifecycle before adding another provider. Related: #16125
covers remote environment support for external adapters; this PR does
not implement that feature.

## What Changed

- Extract and export `RunnerExecutionDriver` from the coding transport.
Use it for coding and Dot options.
- Share server connection negotiation across coding runs, Dot runs, and
remote setup probes.
- Preserve outbound validation before staging, capability checks before
ingress, process dispatch before ingress connection, and verified
process readiness.
- Preserve warm run registration, restart guards, checkpoint hooks, and
cleanup ownership.
- Add 13 focused driver tests and document the lifecycle boundary.

## Verification

- Targeted server execution and recovery tests: 728 passed, 35 skipped.
These cover `native-session-executor`, `native-ssh-command-runner`, the
new driver, warm restart transitions, and Runner restart recovery.
- Targeted setup and driver tests: 109 passed after the review fix.
Twelve driver tests overlap with the preceding count. The added test
verifies that failed CA staging cannot leave a PRP route behind.
- Runner connectivity tests: 11 passed.
- Runner package lifecycle tests: 287 passed across coding transport,
Dot, restart continuation, and settlement. These exercised the compiled
Rust Runner.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `git diff --check`: passed. Local secret-pattern scan: clear.
- The PRP transport runtime and remote process launcher remain
unchanged. A byte comparison against the base confirmed this.
- CI passed on `b10789dfce30a837ce890f44e352064c7a74366f`: all 55 active
checks are green, including the full test shards, Runner checks, browser
tests, typecheck, build, and aggregate gate. Greptile scored this commit
5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- An earlier broad local shard run was not green: 34,888 passed, 12
failed, and 4,125 skipped. Failures were ten timeouts and two Git
fixture assertions affected by local `init.defaultBranch=main`. Isolated
retry passed all six non-route timeout suites (427 tests), two route
suites, and both Git assertions with a test-process-only
`init.defaultBranch=master`. The agent live-run route retry still timed
out. No unrelated source changes were made. Further broad local runs
were stopped at the user's request.

Targeted commands:

```sh
cd server
node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-ssh-command-runner.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-execution-driver.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-warm-transition-restart.integration.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-restart-recovery.integration.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts
node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/services/native-runtime/setup-readiness.test.ts src/services/native-runtime/native-runner-execution-driver.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts
cd ../packages/paperclip-runner
node ../../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts src/drivers/dot/runnerd-dot-driver.test.ts src/live/runnerd-restart-continuation.test.ts src/live/runnerd-codex-transport-settlement.test.ts --maxWorkers=2
cd ../..
node node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run packages/adapter-utils/src/runner-connectivity.test.ts
```

## Risks

- Startup ordering and connection cleanup are sensitive. Focused tests
cover local registration, outbound validation, CA mapping, ingress
ordering, release, and warm authority guards.
- No live SSH host or sandbox provider was used. Existing mocked remote
tests and real local Runner tests passed.
- No database, PRP wire protocol, or Launcher API changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with tool use and code execution. The served
model variant and context window were not exposed to this task.

DottaandPaperclip adb69e8f09 feat: default new Codex agents to Paperclip Runner on Linux and macOS (#15683)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for agent companies.
> - People choose a harness when creating an agent.
> - The server should resolve that harness to a qualified runner.
> - Codex is the first harness in the staged default rollout.
> - Saved agents must retain their execution choices.
> - New Codex agents therefore use Paperclip Runner on qualified
macOS/Linux targets, with an explicit Legacy override.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16028, #15555, #15673, #15422, #15631, #15926, #15932, #16149.

The runtime/install prerequisite and release repair are merged. This
slice owns Codex creation, setup, configuration and preservation. Other
harness defaults remain unchanged. It adds no database migration;
incoming master migrations, required maps and regression coverage are
retained.

## What Changed

- Resolve `runner: auto | paperclip | legacy` at the common creation
boundary across onboarding, API/CLI, hires, built-ins, plugins and
imports. Freeze pending hires and export resolved execution choices.
- Preserve existing runners on upgrades, unrelated edits and import
updates, including compatible accounts, workspace settings, Codex effort
and intentional clears.
- Use the underlying harness picker and branding; put the runner
override in Advanced. Use the shared dropdown and update
production-component stories and creation contracts.
- Support qualified Apple Silicon, Intel Mac, Linux x64 and Linux ARM64.
Linux requires GNU libc 2.39+. Disabled, external, unsupported and
unqualified combinations retain their applicable Legacy execution.
- Test the selected runtime/account/model/environment. Ordinary Connect
probes eligible immutable managed targets and refreshes scoped
discovery. Creation/discovery do not provision. Auth, dependency,
incompatible-setting and cleanup failures remain actionable without
changing runners.
- Keep setup probes read-only, preserve local/SSH isolation and resolve
packaged assets before staging credentials. Bound cleanup reads by the
remaining absolute deadline; physically close every owned ingress socket
before endpoint release. Unconfirmed cleanup retains recovery state.
- Preserve validated completed-onboarding callbacks through startup
recovery. First file-producing work belongs to the child task and uses
the existing dependency/block handoff and task-scoped registration.
- Reuse existing E2E fixtures, artifact checks, reporting and controls.
Keep Docker/Cargo/native compilation remote. Paperclip tarballs contain
no Codex payloads; official optional npm platform dependencies remain.

## Verification

Current tested head: `1c03a8815672d82c264a9b08d4ea1984e8fae107`.
**Merge-ready: required CI, fresh review, package qualification, Mac
core acceptance and Test task/follow-up acceptance pass.** The existing
attachment and native-continuity oracles independently verify both Test
downloads, run attribution and unchanged native/provider/workspace
identities. The maintainer authorized a code-owner-review exception for
this PR only. The first Test setup failure and normal Board
completion-review friction are retained below. Actual post-merge
packages and private Cloud distribution remain separate qualification
gates.

- [Current
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38564241625):
all 48 ordinary jobs and required verify/E2E pass. Attempt 1 retained
six simultaneous host-shutdown cancellations. One failed-only retry
passes those six lanes and two aggregates, preserving 40 successes.
Actual integration checkout `53104c1` combines this head with master
`c80`; it is not relabeled as the branch tree. Fresh exact-head Greptile
5/5, 30 resolved threads, no actionable findings.
- [Exact-source package
qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38565287239):
nine applicable jobs pass, nine conditional jobs skip. Four remote
native producers; Linux x64 clean install; Intel Mac, Apple Silicon and
Linux ARM64 native startup/physical cleanup controls. All 18
tarballs/four daemon source/hash/manifest bindings and 343 migrations
through 0344 verify. No Codex payload is packed. These hosted tarballs
are not a published npm canary.
- Normal Apple Silicon installation and credential-free native
startup/cleanup pass using the packaged daemon, with no source build or
provider turn. Fresh installed DB initialization passes. Upgrade
651a→1c03 preserves all three complete execution configs, accounts, ten
recorded run profiles, paused budgets, active incidents, cost summaries
and two historical unpriced events. Historical recovery state is
retained.
- Cleanup regressions: four delayed-read baseline failures become 15
passing deadline/authority controls. No-acknowledgement and prior-error
socket ownership regressions become 12 passing controls. Direct
runtime/server types, maps: 35 areas / 176 IDs, diff checks and
independent reviews pass. Permission/auth/reconnect policy and the
10-second setup budget remain intact.
- Existing source coverage includes creation/selection/imports, pending
approvals, recovery, account/lifecycle handling, mounted forms,
dropdowns and E2E support. Full typechecks/tests/build/token and
applicable Storybook checks pass in the recorded current CI; no
duplicate suite or weakened grader.
- Literal 9546 live Mac proof: ordinary Auto Codex onboarding, useful
document, real completed-child callback/reply, seven successful native
runs, manual follow-up and independently downloaded1,101-byte child
file. Existing Legacy title edit/reload preserves execution; two real
Legacy runs produce independently checked15/34-byte files. These remain
historical source records.
- Current literal 1c03 Mac core acceptance passes independent checks:
ordinary Auto native Codex onboarding without runner override; only
timeout 180 seconds/concurrency 1 saved; six successful native runs and
six serialized turns (maximum overlap 1); both same-task continuity
checks and five mechanical callback checks; actual rendered parent reply
and exact child downloads. The useful handoff advances from revision 1
to 2. Both files are 48 bytes, SHA-256
`8b742bd4e8123a7c078f0a8d9f3449fbfa8a320d7d90be641a2818db3c53d92c` and
`f42db9774fa06e804ab7d596fc8b922a2b638921c418b87d0111151d290a6afe`;
exactly one byte changes and old history remains. The agent is paused
with zero active runs/errors. Both artifact work products have
`isPrimary=false`, and descriptive titles fail a stricter title-helper
assumption; these retained results are scoped editorial follow-up, not
new merge gates. Six source-bound screenshots are uploaded and verified
in the private primary QA report.
- [Literal 9546 managed
proof](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-38485488621-1/index.html):
original 19 assertions and completed judge pass, four native turns,
child-bound240-byte file and session/workspace continuity. Checkout
reports a verified generated target-lock mutation; full final porcelain
was not retained. Signed execution-image identity remains separate from
Core source.
- Actual 651a Test deployment succeeds on one owned/pinned target. One
ordinary Auto API-key Connect then fails native cleanup before hire.
Controller turn/drain/suspend completion and service-recorded
environment cleanup are observed; they do not certify physical deletion
or native authority retirement. Failure/recovery/unknown holds are
retained. No Legacy switch or unchanged paid retry. The two source
repairs above require actual treatment.
- [Current immutable Core
preview](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38570365725)
and matching DB/shared artifacts pass. One owned, pinned Test target
serves exact `1c03`; identical migration history correctly skips the
migrator. Ordinary Auto Codex Connect succeeds and hires native; saved
native selection and QA bounds survive reload. The initial child
preparation attempt fails before provider work, with actual stdout
identifying `renewal_deadline`; its trigger remains unknown and the
failure is retained. Normal Board **Try again** and **Resume** recover
the child to Done, producing a browser-verified 44-byte file, SHA-256
`0a8458b1efcc2d7a0d815689458c4caab039a46c7c7a3e5805de6bc8b1a96ecc`. The
actual parent callback reports the completed child document/file. The
existing validator requires a parent-owned attachment, so recovery
enters normal Review; after byte checking, normal **Approve completion**
reaches parent Done. No forced status or duplicate parent file is used.
The validator is unchanged from integrated and current master.
Autonomous initial callback-to-Done is not proven. The same-child
follow-up completes document revision 2 and publishes a second
independently downloaded 44-byte file, SHA-256
`22022257300fae762784632d08d3bbe0bab61e2ce81f91864a14dcd7aa464591`; only
the revision digit changes. The unchanged existing native-continuity and
attachment oracles pass. All ten recorded runs are terminal: nine native
successes and the retained pre-provider setup failure. The QA agent is
paused with zero active runs. The pre-existing parent evidence scope
mismatch is a separate follow-up, with ordinary completion review
exercised rather than a forced status or relaxed validation. This
unsigned Core preview remains distinct from post-merge private Cloud
composition.

## Risks

- Saved agents are not migrated. Explicit runner changes use normal
configuration/session rules; historical runs retain their recorded
execution.
- Native readiness depends on verified assets and server-owned target
qualification. A Legacy probe, HTTP200 or successful account save cannot
prove native readiness.
- Recovery exceptions remain restricted to validated
completed-onboarding reports; process-loss, ownership and terminal-state
safeguards remain active. Unexecuted live journeys stay open.
- Linux ARM paid tasks, Windows, Alpine and 32-bit ARM remain deferred.
Cold Cargo cache misses are recorded; no warm-cache speedup is claimed.
- Historical invoices/physical cleanup remain unconfirmed and held.
After merge, exact published npm canary, signed standard image/migrator,
private composition and serving/live acceptance still require
qualification. Production deployment/default promotion is not
authorized.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tools, code execution and
parallel agents. Exact serving snapshot and context-window size are not
exposed.

DottaandPaperclip d67e3507b2 feat(runner): qualify Codex platform packages and cache hosted builds (#16028)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native execution needs a compatible installed daemon and provider
dependency.
> - The Codex-default work found missing platform packages and
clean-install startup failures.
> - Release builds also repeat dependency compilation and run
preparation serially.
> - This prerequisite packages four daemon targets and verifies
installed native startup.
> - It also caches hosted Cargo dependencies and overlaps JavaScript
preparation with compilation.
> - Agent creation defaults and experimental gates stay at the current
master behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15683. Refs #15555. Refs #15422. Refs #15926. Refs #15932.

Extract runtime and installation support from #15683. This prerequisite
has 65 changed files. Creation, onboarding, imports, UI runner selection
and graduation remain in the dependent PR. Feature/access maps and the
Storybook source catalog stay synchronized. Existing agents keep their
execution choices.

## What Changed

- Correct the existing runner test fixtures. Reserve owned credential
quorum listeners through the existing bounded fixture helper. Keep
foreign listeners intact, run actual credential staging once, and
preserve its rejection and unchanged-auth assertions. Reuse the
durable-resume outer-limit correction. Wait for actual warm-completion
and held-authorization callback entry under the existing recovery
deadline and surface early request errors. Preserve every semantic
assertion.
- Retain bounded installation failure diagnostics through the existing
qualification receipt upload. Keep the original error, 10-minute
deadline and all success checks.
- Keep startup ownership until credential preparation and registration
drain. Reject duplicate and post-close startup/resume work. Observe
shutdown during normal and adopted authentication readiness. Preserve
the primary failure and retain private state when cleanup is
unconfirmed.
- Package Linux x64/ARM64 and macOS Apple Silicon/Intel daemons. Verify
target headers, source identities, manifests, and hashes before assembly
and installation.
- Reuse the existing release producer/consumer workflows. Cache Cargo
dependencies by target, OS, compiler, lockfile, and contract inputs.
Rebuild workspace binaries. Permit trusted cache writes only for
canonical exact-source master pushes.
- Overlap JavaScript preparation with native compilation. Join both
commands and failure/cancellation cleanup before artifact verification.
- Preserve shell positional arguments in the shared SSH runner and apply
environment assignments correctly. Reject environment option keys. Six
before/after controls and two real SSH subprocess paths pass with zero
provider calls; this fix lands before both Codex and Claude defaults.
- Admit verified suspended SSH backups during cold controller
continuation, using the same full-scope, integrity and lifecycle checks
as sandbox targets. Two positive SSH cases fail before; all 14
positive/negative matrix cases pass afterward. Active ownership and
corrupt/malformed/nonempty state remain rejected.
- Record measured sandbox platform facts through the existing explicit
environment probe. Bind facts to the company, effective provider
configuration, immutable OCI image and actual captured image binding.
Check the returned cleanup receipt. Reject client-authored proof and
stale or named boot identities. Creation and discovery allocate nothing.
Preserve connection-only behavior.
- Resolve the actual remote Codex target and preserve same-host
development overrides. Preserve runtime artifact verification. Use
actual protocol/model compatibility rather than a numerical CLI version
fence.
- Resolve the installed Codex login dependency on 64-bit Linux and Mac
independently of the daemon libc baseline. Preserve account homes and
safe errors.
- Fix actual clean-install TOML table comparison. Preserve strict
semantic checks, comments, private writes, and malformed-input
rejection. Preserve primary startup failures and bounded cleanup.
- Document GNU libc 2.39+ and stock Ubuntu sandbox prerequisites.
Qualify ARM startup with a scoped distribution profile and unchanged
global restrictions. Preserve Windows and Alpine deferral.
- Preserve selected and saved native Codex reasoning effort in the
existing UI builder, while excluding it from other providers. This small
shared correction prevents import edits higher in the stack from
dropping effort.
- Reuse existing installed-package checks and assertions. Paperclip
tarballs contain no Codex native payloads. Official npm dependencies
supply the consumer's Codex binaries. All Docker and native builds stay
remote.

## Verification

Candidate: `271d434c170e74bdedde65d0b13059a55419c943`. It includes
current master `e168512f7bdbb6af6ea01954c6d7ed80b91e903e` and preserves
prior candidates through ordinary commits.

Current [full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38346601686)
is successful on attempt 2. GitHub reports 54 successful checks and four
conditional skips, including required verify and browser aggregates,
workspace typecheck/tests/build, Linux DB controls, both runner shards
and [isolated native
compilation](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38346601609).
Fresh current-head Greptile is 5/5 with all four threads resolved. The
passing build's clean Grok/Codex report records CI merge source
`7a82a37438e6e448abc7cc5caa60dc2519a97be0`, 18 installed packages,
omitted Codex payloads, official host-only npm dependencies and zero
provider calls. Pi setup and its no-prompt lease verification also pass.
The first attempt's single 60-second Node archive download timeout
remains retained; its DNS/TLS/download cause remains unknown. One
unchanged-source retry was requested through the normal Build-job dialog
with debug logging disabled. GitHub's attempt 2 graph reports the other
CI jobs as well; no second retry or source/deadline relaxation was made.

The [final exact-source package
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38347027535)
is successful on literal `271d434c170e74bdedde65d0b13059a55419c943`. It
passes all four native producers, public Linux package assembly and
clean installed consumers on Apple Silicon, Intel Mac and Linux ARM64.
The nine qualification-mode skips are intentional; full CI above covers
their ordinary gates. Native builds and Docker assembly ran remotely.
The predecessor [`dae808` package
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38342104102)
remains literal historical evidence. Only tests and the dated record
differ from that source; runtime, package and workflow code is
unchanged. The reused credential fixture correction passes all 42
canonical Node 24 controls with synthetic data and independent
matching-source review, and the current hosted runner shard passes.
Production credential behavior is unchanged.

**Merge hold:** current-source CI, fresh 5/5 review and exact-source
package qualification pass. Actual code-owner approval and normal
protected merge remain pending. No slice has merged or deployed. GitHub
CLI authentication needs refresh; the normal signed-in embedded GitHub
UI provided this status without credential workarounds.

- The master merge preserves both Storybook source-review appendices and
the guarded test-home cleanup. All six existing cleanup controls pass
without skips. Master's isolated-home helper/test/setup are
byte-identical. The two existing whitespace lines in master's unrelated
privacy test remain outside this PR's diff.
- Canonical Node 24 passes all 24 existing public-install helper tests.
Three narrow added cases prove bounded/redacted failure metadata,
symlink exclusions, original exception identity, failed diagnostic
writes and no false failure on success. The Mac installer now uses
`--timing`; at most two 16 KiB tails and 32 structured entries per tail
enter the existing receipt upload. Raw argv, URLs, environment, error
text and stacks are omitted. A failed receipt explicitly remains
FAILED/unqualified/runtime-not-attempted. The 600,000 ms install
deadline and every real package/hash/payload/lock/lifecycle/runtime
oracle are unchanged.
- Canonical Node 24 reproduces the durable-resume outer timeout under
controlled fake latency. Only its outer test limit changes to 15
seconds; internal 500 ms/5 second deadlines and usage/effect assertions
remain. Controlled warm-recovery and before-bootstrap authorization
scheduling delays reproduce their callback polling failures, while the
explicit entry signals pass. Early recovery errors surface unchanged.
Independent review is clear. Historical mock binaries support the
fixture controls; fresh full hosted CI remains decisive. The original
hosted callback failure cause is inconclusive.
- The composed runner/surfaces/server/E2E TypeScript checks pass. Map
checks pass 35 areas/171 capability IDs. Token gates pass. The existing
Storybook catalog passes 223 files/2,210 stories; story IDs and
classifications remain intact. The current master had 25 inherited stale
fingerprints from three changed map recipes. Only those guarded
fingerprints and a source-only review note change; all 92 non-map
story/component/fixture inputs remain unchanged. Existing
classifications are retained. This proves source structure, not visual
or live acceptance.
- The 65-file contribution audit has no code file crossing from below
1,000 lines to above the limit. Earlier comment cleanup preserves
executable emissions, parsed workflows and action pins. Independent
cleanup/catalog and three-file reporting reviews are clear. No new
workflow, suite, grader or local native/Docker build was added.

**Prior `dae808` gate evidence:** fresh Greptile is 5/5 with four
resolved threads, isolated native compilation and the browser aggregate
pass. Its first runner shard passes the previous two corrections but
fails a different held-authorization cell at the implicit one-second
polling deadline. It records 1,672 passes/one failure/three skips. This
candidate applies the verified entry-signal correction without changing
production deadlines or any semantic assertions. Its original hosted
cause remains inconclusive until fresh CI.

**Previous-source evidence, kept literal:** the [exact `16a532` package
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38338806076)
passes all four native producers, public Linux package assembly, Apple
Silicon, Intel Mac and Linux ARM64 installed consumers. Its fresh review
is 5/5 with all four threads resolved. Full CI records 52 successful
checks, four conditional skips and the two fixture failures corrected
here. This is not a green full-CI candidate or proof for the new source.

`64c074fb8da1b31f8d6042c4fef48dc4164e759b` passed [full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38332726938),
54 checks/four conditional skips, [isolated native
compilation](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38332726787/job/115085895328),
and fresh Greptile 5/5/all four resolved threads. The hosted transport
suite passed 246 tests and startup trust passed 22, closing that
source's local fake-binary limitation. These are historical after
reconciliation.

The [previous exact-source package
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38332921463)
built all four platform daemons and passed public Linux package assembly
plus Apple Silicon and Linux ARM64 installed consumers. **Intel Mac
failed:** its initial scripts-disabled npm install timed out before
lifecycle/runtime assertions. The underlying download/resolution/host
cause is unknown because the old helper deleted the npm logs. This is
the concrete baseline for the diagnostic change. The failed campaign
remains failed; no all-platform signoff or automatic retry is claimed.

The earlier `a200495` [four-target
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38283695248)
and [scoped ARM
qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38291535914)
remain component evidence. Cargo restores were cold misses; no
warm-cache speedup is claimed. Paperclip tarballs contain no Codex
payloads. Official npm dependencies supply Codex on the user's platform.

Current-source full workspace typecheck/tests/build, Linux DB controls,
static/Rust/native tests, all browser shards and exact-source package
consumers must pass. New-agent defaults and final managed onboarding
belong to #15683. Actual private Cloud composition, warm/cold signup,
task/follow-up and rollback compatibility remain later release gates.
Source audits found that ordinary managed onboarding does not run the
saved platform probe and Cloud distributes named snapshots without a
verified final boot-image binding. These dependent release blockers
remain open; prequalified E2E fixtures do not close them. Master adds
task-workspace migrations; the final image/migrator and previous-image
checks must include them. ARM paid task/follow-up and ordinary OS APT
installation are not proven.

## Risks

- Multi-target packages require source and header agreement. Missing or
mismatched artifacts fail explicitly. Existing execution choices remain
unchanged.
- Linux requires GNU libc 2.39+ and compatible sandbox prerequisites.
The scoped hosted ARM preparation does not qualify arbitrary containers
or kernels. Windows, 32-bit ARM, and Alpine remain deferred.
- Only dependency crates are cached. Preview jobs cannot write trusted
caches. Concurrent command cleanup must preserve the primary failure.
- Native-free Paperclip packaging retains official Codex npm
dependencies. No Codex payload bundling, schema migration, automatic
agent migration, or production deployment is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and parallel agents. The exact serving model snapshot and
context-window size are not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip d6e6d1c78a Stream OpenCode immediately, scope reasoning to turns, and deduplicate instructions (#15708)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and observe their work.
> - The native runner carries provider output into the task transcript.
> - OpenCode sends incremental text in `message.part.delta` events.
> - The driver ignored those events and waited for a full part snapshot.
Accepted chats also waited after lifecycle verification was complete.
> - This pull request forwards each valid chunk as it arrives and
removes unnecessary isolated startup work.
> - Valid chunks reach Paperclip sooner without changing completion or
permission rules. The matched browser experiment below does not
establish a reliable end-to-end latency improvement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The native OpenCode driver withheld text until OpenCode sent a full
snapshot. A local delayed-provider probe with the pinned OpenCode
1.18.34 runtime showed a 1,496 ms gap between the first native text
delta and the first Paperclip text delta (1,510 ms from provider text).

**Expected behavior**

Forward valid assistant text and reasoning deltas immediately. Preserve
repeated identical tokens, message roles, turn ownership, and final
response selection.

**Steps to reproduce**

Send an empty text part, then text deltas, and withhold the final full
snapshot. The new fixture requires the consumer to acknowledge its first
text delta before releasing the snapshot. The previous driver cannot
pass this handshake.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `011e5669bad61c435a4745fb10812bef70376841`. The patch is
rebased onto current master.

**Deployment mode**

Local native OpenCode 1.18.34 on macOS arm64. Live diagnostics use
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. These are narrow
diagnostics, not full Product E2E qualification.

## What Changed

- Keep the macOS verified OpenCode launch pathname until child exit,
with guarded reuse and cleanup on failed launches. This fixes a
reproduced asynchronous executable-lifetime failure.
- Dispatch accepted queued chats immediately after lifecycle readiness
commits, through normal scheduler admission. Preserve ready state if
dispatch fails.
- Validate native OpenCode model access with the real hello probe
without a redundant catalog scan. Keep legacy adapter discovery
unchanged and isolate unspecified native probe directories.
- Map incremental text and reasoning to the existing canonical event
path, using observed part and message identities.
- Keep additive chunks without IDs distinct. Preserve ID-based event
deduplication.
- Clear current streaming part metadata when a new turn starts. Reject
mismatched session/message identities and unknown parts or fields.
- Disable automatic updates, remote model refreshes, and default plugins
in each isolated OpenCode process. Keep assigned MCP tools and default
model reasoning intact.
- Retain the latest cumulative text/reasoning part while its message
role is unknown, including completion metadata after more than 100
chunks.
- Expose `startTurn({ message, reasoningMode: "disabled" })` for one
OpenCode/OpenRouter turn. Carry the selection in the durable command
through Rust and the proxy. An omitted/default option restores provider
defaults on the next turn, including warm and recovered sessions. There
is no environment-level setting or automatic selection policy.
- Group optional Rust turn inputs in `CodexTurnOptions` and dispatch
through `start_turn_with_options`; retain `start_turn` for defaults.
Future turn settings can be added without another feature-specific
method.
- Expose a native-session capability for per-turn reasoning and reject
explicit unsupported selections before dispatch, including direct ACPX
and Codex backends. Runnerd checks the durable selected model as well as
the provider.
- Remove duplicate agent instructions from the shared OpenCode proxy
task envelope for all users. Send one system copy on every turn,
including prepared and resumed turns, because OpenCode reads the latest
user message’s system field. Preserve task constraints and completion
contracts.
- Document startup and streaming behavior. Add regression coverage for
role ordering, repeated chunks, final snapshot deduplication, and stale
turns.

## Verification

### Lower-load browser retry — 2026-10-10

**All 8/8 trials succeeded. In this batch, median Send → first visible
reply fell from 30.586 s to 12.476 s (59.2% lower).** Four fresh-agent
trials per variant, phase order before/after/after/before with two
trials per phase. Every adjacent-phase pair favored the candidate,
although one difference was only 0.301 s. This is evidence for the
readiness/probe changes on this host, not a production percentile or a
guarantee across providers.

| Phase/trial | Variant | Send → reply (s) | Observed ready → run (s) |
Session open → turn start (s) | Model requests |
|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| 0/0 | before | 45.042 | 25.337 | 3.629 | 2 |
| 0/1 | before | 13.689 | 0.000 | 2.443 | 2 |
| 1/0 | after | 14.696 | 0.000 | 2.526 | 1 |
| 1/1 | after | 13.389 | 0.000 | 2.470 | 2 |
| 2/0 | after | 10.871 | 0.000 | 2.706 | 2 |
| 2/1 | after | 11.564 | 0.004 | 2.443 | 2 |
| 3/0 | before | 41.582 | 21.518 | 2.376 | 2 |
| 3/1 | before | 19.589 | 9.753 | 2.707 | 1 |

Observed ready-to-run median: **15.636 s → 0 s**; zero means execution
began by the first ready observation, not literally zero latency.
Polling interval is nominally 250 ms plus HTTP time.
Session-open-to-turn-start includes controller handling, not just child
startup. All eight ran within the existing startup timeouts; no timeout
or reasoning policy was changed. Host load at fixture creation stayed
**5.47–8.73 on 18 CPUs**, versus 68.9–100.8 in the prior campaign. No
builds/tests ran concurrently with measurement.

Same merged source **b0a0158729a7913882a0e756fe7e27228d72bf53**, release
runner, rebuilt static UI, OpenCode **1.18.34**, model
**openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731**, provider-default
reasoning, and empty isolated workspaces in both variants. Only the
readiness worker and explicit-model verification source were toggled;
the launch-lifetime fix and all proxy streaming changes were held
constant. Thus this does not separately measure the original streaming
changes. One browser per phase, two fresh companies/agents/chats per
phase. Measurement begins at capture-phase Send click and ends on
visible Hi text plus two animation frames. Status/thinking is excluded;
emoji can arrive just after the first text. Successful screenshots
inspected. Each variant had three two-request turns using
`paperclip_finish` and one one-request turn; no status lookup was
observed. Reported usage includes settlement after the first visible
reply.

Runner SHA-256
`57f658c220eecd2370ffd3333cd7e5d06d16bb2798af0cf43c84e01c8207c1c3`;

`eee238f2eda628c4e8c3660707986da4f8dd9100c814e26938fce3756df2eae4`
(sorted relative path, NUL, binary per-file SHA-256). Worker/probe
variant source hashes are unchanged from the preserved comparison below.
Measured turn cost **$0.00612574**, plus verification probes not
included in that figure. All eight attempts retained; all source/proxy
files restored and test supervisors exited.

Current commit validation: **53 successful CI checks, 4 skipped, zero
failing; Greptile 5/5 on b0a0158729 with no actionable findings.** The
previous 20 targeted post-merge tests passed. No source edit was made
for this rerun. Earlier failed and inconclusive cohorts below remain
historical evidence and are not pooled with this batch.


### Master update and failure diagnosis — 2026-10-09

Merged `origin/master` at `417db14e7d` into this branch without
conflicts; pushed merge commit
`b0a0158729a7913882a0e756fe7e27228d72bf53`. The incoming changes do not
alter OpenCode process startup or its timeout budgets. Historical
measurements below remain attributed to their original commits.

The four last-campaign failures never issued `turn.start`, so these were
**cold-session admission failures, not model replies failing**. Two
retained `session.open` commands eventually completed after controller
timeout/cleanup had begun. The other two ended with the inner
`thread/start` response timeout, and their diagnostics recorded OpenCode
startup retries. Startup event timestamps are buffered publication times
and must not be interpreted as exact process-spawn times.

On the merged source, two credential-free startup-only checks used the
real pinned OpenCode 1.18.34, empty temporary workspaces, a placeholder
key, and **no model turns**:

- Existing pinned executable: spawn at 1.083 s; failed health
attempt/retry at 11.311 s and 21.914 s; third process healthy at 32.210
s; session opened at **35.168 s**.
- Verified private executable path: snapshot preparation took **0.497
s**; process spawned at 1.588 s; healthy at 9.967 s; session opened at
**11.120 s**.

These are sequential diagnostic samples, not evidence that one
executable path is faster. Host load was **56.5–64.5 on 18 logical
CPUs**. The local health wait permits 10 s per attempt and the driver
retries up to three times; the outer controller's cold admission budget
is 30 s, and the Rust facade also waits 30 s for a response. Thus
retries plus setup/session creation can outlast the caller's budget. The
isolated 35.168 s success demonstrates that a session can eventually
open yet fail the app's admission deadline. Heavy load aggravates the
timing; its exact contribution is not isolated. No timeout was increased
and no new model-latency claim is made.

Merge validation: **20/20 targeted lifecycle-policy and heartbeat
run-completion tests passed**, including temporary PostgreSQL cases. The
first sandbox invocation skipped database cases; the authorized local-DB
rerun executed all 20. The package-manager launcher could not verify its
version via the unreachable registry, so validation used the
already-installed Vitest binary. Full CI/review subsequently passed on
this merge commit; see the October 10 retry above. Older results below
apply to their named commits.


### Follow-up: reproduced macOS launch failure — 2026-10-09

The retry exposed a startup bug rather than only host-load noise. The
macOS proxy deleted the private verified executable path immediately
after asynchronous spawn. A credential-free test of the actual pinned
OpenCode `--version` reproduced a fast SIGKILL and a 15-second timeout
in three immediate-cleanup attempts; three deferred-cleanup controls
succeeded. The timeout was killed by the diagnostic's own deadline. This
experiment does not establish the OS-internal reason for the fast
SIGKILL.

Commit `c30451e0ebf3f74e9ef70d37bbe4d9fe7fb56359` retains the private
launch path until child exit, cleans failed spawns, and waits for forced
shutdown before reuse. Source descriptor authentication, ownership,
mode, inode checks, and the prohibition on ambient executable fallback
remain. Overlapping reuse fails closed. The existing synchronous shell
test was changed to exercise the actual asynchronous boundary.

**Verification:** 59 focused proxy/driver tests passed; runner
TypeScript check passed. All six subsequent real OpenCode version
launches succeeded without timeout (4.11, 4.33, 5.73, 6.91, 4.95, 6.70
seconds). The native Rust binary is unchanged from the retry; no model
calls were made by these diagnostics.

Retained interrupted retry: before 42.56/18.69 seconds; after one
180-second timeout (`provider_process_exited` / health SIGKILL) and one
37.33-second success. The latter overlapped the credential-free
diagnostic and is not a clean matched timing. The next phase was stopped
before Send to diagnose the reproduced bug. Reported measured-turn cost:
$0.0016874, verification probes additional. These attempts are not
pooled with other campaigns.

<!-- launch-fixed-proof:start -->
**Completed retry, stopped by the declared failure rule after 6 of 8
planned trials. No reliable end-to-end speedup demonstrated.** At commit
`c30451e0ebf3f74e9ef70d37bbe4d9fe7fb56359`, the launch fix above was
held constant in both variants; only the readiness handoff and
explicit-model verification path changed. Planned phase order:
before/after/after/before, two fresh agents/chats per phase, one new
browser per phase. The second after phase had two consecutive failures,
so the final before phase was not run.

| Phase/trial | Variant | Send → first visible reply | Observed ready →
run | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0/0 | before | No reply within 180 s | 2.777 s | session.open timeout
|
| 0/1 | before | 47.654 s | 9.383 s | Succeeded |
| 1/0 | after | 50.051 s | 0.087 s | Succeeded |
| 1/1 | after | No reply within 180 s | 0.151 s | session.open timeout |
| 2/0 | after | No reply within 180 s | 3.337 s | session.open timeout |
| 2/1 | after | No reply within 180 s | 1.434 s | session.open timeout |

Both successful screenshots show “Hi 👋”. Timing starts at the browser's
capture-phase Send click and ends at the first visible answer text plus
two animation frames; the first fragment can be “Hi” before the emoji
arrives. Thinking/status text is not counted. All four failures were
`runner_local_connect_failed: PRP command session.open timed out`
(`native_session_interrupted`), before a reply; none reported the
earlier health-stage SIGKILL. They are retained, not discarded as
outliers. One success per variant does not support a speedup estimate or
median comparison. Observed ready-to-run median was **6.080 s before
(n=2) vs 0.793 s after (n=4)**; this is sampled every nominal 250 ms
plus HTTP latency and is a lower bound, not precise tracing. Host load
at fixture creation ranged **68.9–100.8 on 18 logical CPUs**, a
substantial confound that worsened over the campaign. No local
build/test was run concurrently with this campaign.

Provenance: pinned OpenCode **1.18.34**, model
**openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731**, default reasoning in
both variants, empty synthetic workspaces and isolated probe homes.

`7f0c2b7f586cb753408351574b2239e22311944add99af4f6f3562cd6d47bbcb`. This

measured turn cost **$0.00120649**; verification probes are additional.
Including the earlier interrupted retry, this follow-up reports
**$0.00289389** in measured turn usage; missing usage is not assumed
free. Prior cohorts remain separate below.

Validation on `c30451e0e`: **59 focused tests passed**, runner
TypeScript check passed, **6/6 real credential-free pinned OpenCode
launches passed**, fresh Greptile **5/5 with zero unresolved threads**.
CI: **51 success, 4 skipped, 1 failed**. The failed native compilation
job never reached compilation: Docker's auth endpoint timed out during
Buildx setup, then failed the same way on one retry
([job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37994181674/job/114039737503)).
Full local checks were not rerun while measuring. The PR remains draft:
the launch defect is reproduced and fixed, but cold session startup
still exceeds the controller's admission budget on this host. Raising
that budget would not establish a faster first response.
<!-- launch-fixed-proof:end -->

### Readiness investigation and live rerun — 2026-10-09

**Measured queue fix; no reliable end-to-end speedup claim. Keep this PR
in draft.** Accepted chats could wait for the periodic queue sweep after
verification had already committed `ready`. The lifecycle worker now
dispatches through the existing scheduler immediately after that commit.
The normal company, pause, budget, concurrency, and task-ownership
checks still apply. Dispatch failure preserves readiness and leaves
recovery to the queue sweep.

Native OpenCode verification also avoids enumerating the full model
catalog before running its real hello request. Identifier validation
remains. Authentication failures, unavailable models, and timeouts still
prevent readiness. An unspecified local probe directory uses an empty
temporary directory.

**Queue-only experiment:** four before and four after attempts, in
before/after/after/before server phases, two fresh agents per phase.
Median observed ready-to-start delay fell from **19.429 s to 0.058 s**.
State polling was nominally 250 ms plus HTTP time, so the latter means
within observation resolution; it is not a precise 58 ms latency claim.
After timings were 100.20, 65.29, 63.78, and 76.97 seconds. Before had
one 59.65-second success and three 120-second response timeouts (one
provider health SIGKILL, one late success, one still running after
settlement and canceled). These censored results do not support a
success-only median speedup comparison. Focused tests overlapped the
last baseline phase, which further limits total-time interpretation.
Reported measured-turn cost: $0.0055383; verification probes and
incomplete/canceled usage are additional.

**Final matched experiment:** built static UI in both variants to avoid
pre-Send Vite compilation; current proxy, release runner, selected
model, default reasoning, and explicitly isolated empty probe
cwd/HOME/XDG held constant. Both worker handoff and model-probe changes
vary. Fresh browser/company/agent/chat per attempt. ABBA order, two
attempts per variant, 180-second response limit declared before the
batch, four-turn bound. Same Send-to-rendered-Hi metric as the earlier
experiment.

| Order | Variant | Send → visible Hi | Created → execution | Observed
ready → execution | Outcome |
| --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- |
| 1 | Before | 62.66 s | 23.467 s | 2.830 s | Succeeded |
| 2 | After | >180 s | 14.200 s | Within polling resolution | Provider
health SIGKILL |
| 3 | After | >180 s | 13.877 s | Within polling resolution | Provider
initialization timeout |
| 4 | Before | >180 s | 144.256 s | 14.067 s | Still running after
settlement; canceled |

Only one of four attempts produced a timed reply. **There is no valid
overall speedup estimate from this batch.** The dispatch delay is
removed, but provider startup failures and heavy shared-host load
remain. A recorded host sample was load 93.55 on 18 logical CPUs. This
is a confound, not proof that every failure was caused by host load.
Provider-reported measured-turn cost was $0.00032752, with no reported
usage for the other three attempts; verification probes are additional.

Retained earlier setup attempts: one shared-memory startup failure
before model calls, and a separate development-UI batch with a
60.06-second baseline followed by a navigation timeout before Send.
These attempts are retained separately, not counted as successful
response timings. No live attempts were silently dropped.

Provenance: source base `53580f8fbd40b963f3fb7ba5172ff3ede2e9ef1f`,
measured patch committed as `40b54eafb`, then rebased as
`c590770dcc2bb1debce14037935a7031e5c3c1ac`. **These live timings predate
the rebase.** Source and binary hashes are retained below. The inner
harness label `after` selects the identical current proxy in every
attempt; the outer campaign handoff label is the actual before/after
variant. Owned benchmark processes stopped and original proxy restored.

<!-- readiness-check-status:start -->
Post-rebase validation at `c590770dcc2bb1debce14037935a7031e5c3c1ac`:

- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck`: **passed**, including the native
release build (1,098.6 seconds on the loaded host).
- Focused lifecycle and adapter tests: **26 passed**. The 14 database
integration tests did not run locally because their hard-coded 20-second
database setup hook timed out. A retry with a CLI timeout override
encountered the same explicit hook limit. The earlier pre-rebase focused
batch passed 77 tests; these results are not substituted for post-rebase
execution.
- Local `pnpm test:run` was started, then stopped to avoid duplicating
CI on the saturated host. Local `pnpm build` was not run separately.
**Current-head CI passed Typecheck + Release Registry, Build, all
general and serialized test groups, Rust checks, both runner Vitest
groups, and all eight browser E2E shards.** The last general shard
passed 1,179 tests (72 files).
- Fresh [Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15708#issuecomment-6085742217):
**5/5**, reviewed this exact head, no actionable defect.
- Final CI rollup: **49 success, 4 skipped, 4 failure**. The failures
are [Compile isolated native
Runner](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37990274515/job/114024329242),
[Docker context
integrity](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37990274623/job/114024196511),
[Canary Dry
Run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37990274623/job/114024196424),
and the dependent `ci / verify` aggregate. All three root failures are
Docker Hub HTTP 429 / unauthenticated pull-rate limits while fetching
Node base images. The native-image job was retried once and hit the same
limit. No source compiler/test failure was reported by those gates. CI
maintainers need authenticated pulls or to rerun after the registry
limit clears.
- Owned benchmark servers stopped. Local validation commands completed
or were stopped. The PR remains a draft: user-visible speed/reliability
is not qualified, and the Docker-dependent CI gates are not green.

### Matched live browser latency evidence — 2026-10-09

**Conclusion: the overall first-response speedup is not established.**
Twelve successful real browser runs produced a lower after median, but
the updated path won only 3 of 6 adjacent pairs. Median paired
improvement was -0.17 seconds (effectively tied). Do not treat the
deterministic streaming-forwarding improvement as proof that this PR
fixes end-to-end first-response latency.

- **Actual path:** local Paperclip browser → real server/database →
current optimized Rust runner → pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 → OpenRouter
`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. Default reasoning in both variants;
no disabled-reasoning override.
- **Prompt:** `Reply with Hi and an emoji and nothing else.` Fresh
company, agent, chat, and per-turn native provider process for each
trial; same QA fixture instructions and selected model.
- **Comparison:** current product/runner at
`53580f8fbd40b963f3fb7ba5172ff3ede2e9ef1f` held constant. The baseline
substitutes the exact `opencode-app-server-proxy.ts`,
`opencode-proxy-task-envelope.ts`, and `opencode-server-driver.ts`
contents from pre-PR `41fec8c8921f9fb19c13fe11e2c9b71bf1017317`. This
isolates those changed modules; it is not an entire old-checkout
comparison.
- **Metric:** browser capture-phase Send click to a rendered `Hi`
markdown answer plus two animation frames, with a screenshot of the
answer. Thinking, tool labels, and status indicators do not count. This
is a DOM/render measurement, not instrumented compositor pixel timing.
- **Order/bound:** predeclared `before, after, after, before` repeated
three times; six trials per variant; 120-second response timeout; $1
campaign guard. All 12 measured trials returned `Hi` and an emoji and
finished successfully; none omitted.
- **Result:** before median **48.08 s** (37.42–66.40); after median
**42.50 s** (27.68–63.32). The 11.6% lower median alone is not
persuasive evidence of a reliable improvement given the mixed paired
results and broad overlap.
- **Remaining delay:** retained queue timestamps for 10/12 trials show
**9.76–41.65 seconds from run creation to execution start**. This is
before the OpenCode path changed here. Its cause is not established by
this benchmark. The final two queue reads were unavailable after
automatic server shutdown; all twelve primary browser timings were
retained.
- **Cost:** $0.010517369 provider-reported across the 12 measured turns;
$0.011371499 including the successful setup pilot. This is separate from
the older diagnostics listed below.
- **Retained setup attempts:** two failures before Send (composer
locator and transpiler helper); one baseline startup failure before any
observed model request (`SIGKILL` while probing OpenCode health); one
successful current-code pilot whose selector missed the visible reply.
These are retained separately, not silently included/excluded as valid
timings. The measured batch used the corrected selector and the same
release binary for both variants.
- **Limits:** local development server and headless Chromium on macOS
arm64, small sample, variable queue timing/provider routing/cache. This
does not qualify production/cloud performance or isolate the
contributions of each changed module. Server, browser, and owned runs
were stopped; original proxy build artifact restored; no product source
files changed for this experiment.

```

</details>

- Latest options-struct refactor: 33 provider tests and 86 backend tests
passed. Four port-dependent fixtures initially failed inside the sandbox
and passed with loopback access. Latest check snapshot: 51 successes, 4
skips, and 2 failures (`ci / e2e` and `ci / e2e shard (5/8)`). This
latency experiment does not make the PR merge-ready.

- Focused TypeScript suites passed: OpenCode driver, per-turn reasoning,
prepared-context recovery, proxy envelope, live sessions, Codex context
control, and native instruction measurements. The real runnerd/proxy
integration test confirms disabled followed by default in the same
session. A stale staged binary initially hid the new parameter;
rebuilding the release runner resolved it.
- Capability-guard regression suites passed all 53 tests; the real
runner/proxy boundary still accepts the per-turn selection. Both
OpenRouter and non-OpenRouter real runner/proxy cases passed, along with
62 existing OpenCode fixture tests. Runner TypeScript build passed after
the final correction.
- Affected Rust modules passed: 33 provider tests and 86 durable backend
tests. Malformed or unsupported reasoning selections do not dispatch a
provider turn or poison admission state.
- Pinned OpenCode 1.18.34 with a local OpenRouter-compatible fixture
sent three successive provider requests with reasoning omitted,
`enabled: false`, then omitted. Each request contained one copy of the
agent instructions. No paid provider call was needed.
- The reconstructed first-turn task envelope shrank from 4,356 to 460
characters. This is a payload-size measurement, not a claimed token or
latency reduction. Existing stored conversation history is not
rewritten.
- Prior head `8c07fe2e70267a7c8a3118f1071eca73ecdc6c8a`: all 53 checks
passed, with four intentional skips. Greptile is 5/5 with no open
findings. One bounded retry cleared first-test timeouts, a legacy
signoff lease failure, and CI runner shutdowns. The timed-out suites
also passed locally (14 auth-signal tests, 40 device-login tests, and
the runner resume case).
- Known reported diagnostic usage totals about $0.0029. Two prematurely
closed baseline warm-turn attempts are excluded from latency comparisons
and their usage is not fully captured; background provider usage is also
not fully accounted. No further paid runs are active.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed. Runner TypeScript typechecks and build
also passed after the review correction.
- `pnpm test:run`: attempted and stopped after a reproducible failure in
the untouched Codex recovery test `archives a damaged prior epoch before
completing guarded same-task replacement with real runnerd`
(`server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-resume.test.ts:1072`).
It returns `needs_review` / failed instead of done / succeeded,
including when rerun alone. The broad local suite is not green. The two
initial collection failures disappeared after building; their isolated
rerun passed all 1,565 tests.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- Pinned real OpenCode plus a delayed local provider: first native delta
to Paperclip delta fell from 1,496 ms to less than 1 ms at millisecond
measurement resolution. This isolates forwarding delay, not
network/model inference.
- Two live driver samples after the patch reached first text in
2.28–2.62 seconds including session startup. Baseline first responses
took 12.37–13.43 seconds. Small unmatched samples had different
reasoning/cache outcomes, so these are observations, not an attributed
speedup ratio.
- Full compiled runnerd protocol diagnostic: completed with `Hi 👋`;
first assistant delta at 9.19 seconds and cleanup complete at 9.44
seconds. The seeded mock-control-plane harness used 27,512 input tokens
across two provider requests, split into 13,521 and 13,991. The extra
`answer_status_question` call posted `Hi 👋` to the mock task in 12 ms,
then caused another model request. A reconstruction contains 25 tools
(35.3k JSON characters), 12.8k system characters, and a 4.4k task
envelope; 3.9k instruction characters appear in both system and task
context. Provider-reported cost was $0.00073976; the pricing-table
estimate was $0.00395332. This is one integration diagnostic, not a
production latency claim.
- A separate full-runner sample with existing lazy tool discovery also
completed, but took 14.64 seconds through cleanup and called
`paperclip_finish`. Its usage ledger recorded 12,888 input and 11,776
cached-input tokens, with $0.00096344 provider-reported cost. This did
not establish a latency improvement, so the default tool exposure was
not changed.
- Four direct OpenRouter requests separately measured default reasoning
at 2.45/3.90 seconds to first text and disabled reasoning at 0.66/0.53
seconds. Default reasoning remains unchanged; disabling it requires the
explicit per-turn option.

## Risks

- Immediate readiness dispatch changes scheduling timing. It uses
existing admission checks and preserves the periodic sweep as recovery.
- Native model verification relies on the real request rather than
catalog enumeration. The final live batch had provider startup failures;
overall speed and reliability are not qualified.
- Incremental chunks without IDs cannot safely be deduplicated by
content. Repeated identical chunks are valid. Known-ID duplicates remain
suppressed.
- OpenCode uses its bundled model catalog plus the explicit
selected-model entry. New remote catalog metadata will not refresh
during isolated startup.
- Default provider plugins are disabled. This runner supplies
credentials and assigned MCP tools through its own controlled
configuration.
- Disabled reasoning is supported only on the OpenCode/OpenRouter path
and requires a compatible model. It applies to one turn and is not an
automatic latency policy.
- The matched live browser sample is small and does not establish a
reliable end-to-end improvement. It includes local queueing/startup and
browser rendering, but does not qualify production or remote sandbox
latency.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). Tool use, code editing, and command execution were
used. The session does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size. Live diagnostic target: DeepSeek
`deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731` through OpenRouter and OpenCode
1.18.34.

DottaandPaperclip 57e977be72 feat: integrate Pi 1.0 into the experimental Runner (#14921)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The experimental Runner owns provider processes and durable
sessions.
> - Pi needs working task execution and human controls.
> - The five-PR stack must preserve changes already on master.
> - Each layer now carries the complete integrated source for a safe
sequential fallback.
> - This PR belongs to native GitHub stack #15602, ending at #14956.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14436, #14631, #14743 and #14956.

Ship Pi 1.0 through the experimental Paperclip Runner. The five PRs are
#14921, #14922, #14923, #14924 and #14956. The user authorized the
complete merge after checks pass. Existing `pi_local` execution is
unchanged. Accounting and wider provider/platform qualification remain
deferred.

## What Changed

- Recover missing final replies after workspace finalization changes
owners, using accepted-turn evidence without rerunning work or granting
external-chat publication.
- Preserve the admitted Pi instruction root across warm runs, while
retaining changed-root rejection.
- Give Pi a bounded 15-second default shutdown grace so stop, drain
acknowledgement and durable suspension can complete. Explicit deadlines
and other providers retain their existing behavior.
- Integrate the Pi 1.0 runtime and master contracts.
- Use Pi profile 22. Preserve explicit caller-selected models and exact
native thinking levels. Keep Pi's wrapper, helper, extension and
question/control behavior unchanged from the qualified profile-19
runtime.
- Preserve master's Dot lifecycle and consent fields, configured task
environment, status guards and current Codex/Claude dependency versions.
Cursor stays qualified. Copilot stays pending; profile 17 binds the
changed shared protocol validation sources.
- Exclude general AWS IAM credentials from Pi static/custom provider
bindings and selected task projections; preserve the provider-scoped
Bedrock bearer key. Profile 21 is retained as historical provenance.
Rust and cloud install probes use the current declaration.
- Patch bundled brace-expansion 5.0.9 to the exact official 5.0.12
payload. Pin the patch and complete runtime closures. Include the patch
in normal installed setup tooling. Keep the upstream Pi shrinkwrap as
provenance and permit only this exact security correction.
- Include current attestation files in the Docker build context. Keep
the repository lockfile unchanged from master. CI and private image
builds resolve manifest changes before their frozen installation.

## Verification

- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck` passes, including Runner Rust, server
and UI. Focused integration checks pass: 194 Runner
admission/environment tests, 63 profile/credential tests with one
expected skip, 152 Dot/UI configuration tests, and Pi transcript/notice
tests.
- Full local `pnpm build` passes on the final source.
- Fresh final-source checks pass: all 698 Rust workspace tests (32
binaries), 156 credential/profile/controller tests with one expected
skip, Runner TypeScript typecheck, and 20 package/setup/sandbox tests.
- The profile-21 Pi materializer passes on the native host with the
official pinned Node 24.21.0 and its npm. It verifies all 150 locked
packages, the patched dependency and the exact closure. Setup/package
bundle tests and UI token gates pass.
- The old hashes were reproduced for all three supported targets before
calculating the patched graph. New closure hashes are darwin-arm64
`282022db10150c6632b3444df421342e7d534bdf5d5fb1097a2e79d0625a2bcf`,
darwin-x64
`64e251e19009f755c0b04f73ce2138246faab71a961b0f13d75ebfcc34bef12e`, and
linux-x64
`713b1fdff42fb56a1518bdc084f181d70bee8ebadc3e4b1d76321ed9108c8410`.
Independent native platform execution is separate from graph identity
reproduction.
- Historical cloud qualification remains unchanged: all seven core cases
pass on shipping source `10dc43c9ec65d88c2f782d62afb296d09494f215`,
harness `1a4408a48cfb5a1f094a311141c257c92cd7a893`, image
`sha256:5b3a775b383591bda1b0c1889e509acc70ce7f37c53f09733c81d59037f02280`,
and accepted Sonnet 4.6/low fixture. All 215 canonical files and all
seven cleanup checks pass independent verification. These are profile-19
results and are not relabeled as fresh profile-22 runs.
- Current Pi digest:
`sha256:e92078bee3c23bec4100aa589013a44613d054cd686826534025d8019e9f39a9`.
[The readiness
plan](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/pi-production-readiness/doc/plans/2026-10-02-pi-production-readiness.md)
preserves campaign and failed-attempt provenance.
- Merge only after every PR's current-head CI and fresh review pass.
Linux CI covers the full suites, build and browser tests. The local
embedded Postgres API-authority suite cannot start on this macOS/Node 26
host, so Linux CI must confirm that suite.

### Fresh profile-22 core qualification — 2026-10-08

All seven accepted core cases pass canonically on Pi profile 22, with
`openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` and native-confirmed low
thinking. This model is a fixture; production accepts the caller's
explicit Pi provider/model.

Runtime/install source: `3241a992f2a7703e59e97ed0fd3e5d6405de4401`.
Frozen accepted harness: `1a4408a48cfb5a1f094a311141c257c92cd7a893`.
Immutable cloud image:
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:506f22db7edd78f37c0c40bec1cc084af1850455026dbf467194bfbb8fcef141`.
Pi digest:
`sha256:e92078bee3c23bec4100aa589013a44613d054cd686826534025d8019e9f39a9`.

[Hosted Linux image and clean-install
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37868328023)
passes, including all 20 source-bound archives, normal CLI/Pi setup,
companion import and the production pack reader. This exact installation
source includes the latest master integration and the corrected Pi warm
instruction-root fence. Full local typecheck/build and current-head
hosted CI verify the final stack. All 13 focused real-root regressions
pass. The full local executor suite passed 662 tests; 15 database tests
could not start the Mac embedded PostgreSQL service. Hosted Linux CI
passes the full required verification and E2E checks. These fresh
results keep their own source identity; profile-19 results remain
historical.

All 215 canonical files (28714587 bytes) are independently
hash-verified. All seven cleanup grades pass, with no owned runtime
process or temporary root after each case. Automatic retries are zero.
The owned cloud host stopped normally after retention. The prior
profile-22 warm attempt remains failed and separately retained: archive
SHA-256
`1e54eba5ec72b50cee1534b23d1d1d4f21a090006b8a64501ba70db972abfde5`. Its
original canonical classification is preserved. Diagnosis reproduced a
product bug comparing an agent-files root against an unset
checkpoint-only field. The fix stores the admitted physical root
separately from the adopted per-run collection capability. The real-root
regression fails before the fix and passes afterward, including
rejection of a changed physical root. Fixture, grader, model and all
seven accepted case IDs are unchanged; this fresh campaign tests
final-reply publication after file registration first. The intermediate
restart attempt also remains failed and retained: archive SHA-256
`5dcaefdf1d17cf4cd54fd4cf810f45e736667392339b8ce7caf08bb4e225277f`. Its
original canonical classification is preserved. Pi resumed, wrote the
verified answer and completed its task; exact runner suspension was
proven, but idle stop consumed about 5.2s and left under 3s for the
drain acknowledgement. The Pi-only default shutdown grace is now 15s,
preserving a full 5s drain round trip and a finite suspension reserve.
Explicit caller deadlines, other provider defaults, literal drain
receipts and exact suspension identity checks remain unchanged. The
timing regression fails before this correction and passes afterward; all
18 focused settlement tests and Runner typecheck pass. The final-source
file attempt is also preserved as failed (`candidate_failure`), archive
SHA-256
`db6767b6773ea618997927ac77bdb005a5ac81492c7b9c0ffbc900449f829bc9`.
Native edit, validation, exact downloadable artifact and Done/succeeded
all passed, and the exact final reply was durably recorded. A workspace
recovery owner completed before the live heartbeat reached presentation,
leaving that reply absent from task chat. Recovery now materializes only
a completed final reply from the accepted turn of an ordinary internal
Done task, preserving issue/run/contract binding, suppression,
external-chat authorization and same-run deduplication. The database
regression covers the generated file-preparation receipt, suppression,
unapproved external continuation and replay. Server typecheck and all 49
response-selection tests pass; hosted Linux verifies the database
regression because embedded PostgreSQL cannot start on this Mac.

The delayed-final-answer database regression passes on [the final
root-source Linux server
shard](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37868262553/job/113628594152),
alongside 1,108 passing tests. The first root Runner shard had one
unchanged durable-resume test exceed its 5-second timeout; the identical
top-source shard and the isolated exact test passed. One rerun of that
failed job and its required aggregate passed without source or test
changes. The original failed job log and the single-rerun receipt remain
retained.

### October 9 merge verification

Current merge head: `5a8fe63512a7166aaef5cf50065a25008aa8b44b`. All
current-head checks pass, including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`;
exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Current
master conflicts are resolved. The user authorized the maintainer
override of the code-owner review gate after these checks. The seven
retained live core cases remain bound to source
`3241a992f2a7703e59e97ed0fd3e5d6405de4401` and its recorded cloud image.

## Risks

- The security correction changes the dependency closure and profile
identity. Old sessions must reopen on the new profile. Exact identities
and credential bindings fail closed.
- The runner remains experimental and requires explicit selection.
Legacy Pi Local is unchanged. Caller model IDs pass through; the E2E
model is a fixture.
- Accounting and the broad platform/provider matrix remain deferred.
This merge does not publish a release or deploy a service.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted with reasoning, repository
inspection, editing and tool use. The exact serving ID and context
window are not exposed in this session. Final live qualification uses Pi
1.0.0 with `openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6` and native-confirmed
low thinking.

DottaandPaperclip 6f9d0a56ba fix: resolve installed Codex and preserve npm host dependencies (#15555)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Installed agents need their own runtime dependencies.
> - Native Codex startup and browser login could depend on a global CLI.
> - npm bundles do not inherit workspace dependency overrides or
patches.
> - Codex native packages must come from npm for the consumer host.
> - This PR fixes executable resolution and the required npm dependency
layout.
> - Usable installed CLI versions can run without a numeric version
gate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #15422. This is a prerequisite for the later Codex-default change.

**What happened?**

Packaged native Codex startup and browser login could require a global
Codex CLI. The server's vendored runner lacked its own declared Codex
bridge. A bundled wrapper could retain producer-host binaries or select
the legacy adapter's separate platform version.

**Expected behavior**

Prefer the installed Codex executable. Accept usable older or newer
versions. Use the selected host's PATH when the dependency is absent.
Keep the patched JavaScript graph. Let npm install official native
packages for the consumer platform. Grant sandbox reads only to the
selected vendor resources.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a clean npm installation without a global Codex command.
2. Start native Codex or its browser login.
3. Inspect the selected executable, installed host package, and sandbox
resource paths.

**Deployment mode**

Source and packaged self-hosted installation.

## What Changed

- Share installed Codex command resolution across native startup, direct
evals, and browser login. Accept usable version differences. Preserve
explicit commands, recorded sessions, remote host boundaries, and the
Linux ARM64 legacy login path. Return safe errors for missing
executables and failed login terminals.
- Declare the server's Codex bridge. Retain the patched JavaScript
dependency graph in npm packages. Strip Codex native payloads. Declare
official optional host packages on the published server manifest so
native and legacy versions remain separate. Preserve consumer esbuild
platform dependencies.
- Adjust resource lookup for npm's separate platform packages. Retain
package identity, path containment, resolver ownership, and narrow
sandbox reads. Keep exact version and digest checks for explicit ACPX
artifact qualification.
- Extend existing packaging, installed-consumer, login, selection,
recovery, and integrity tests. Document the retained behavior.

The diff is now 23 files, 1,709 additions, and 53 deletions. The prior
diff had 35 files and about 3,700 changed lines. Removed work is
preserved on `codex/runner-packaging-full-snapshot` at
`6f3060beaa842ffcee21af058370d3cab5f571e9`.

Removed from this PR: release workflows and assembly, provider-pack
changes, Docker materialization, Git installer changes, extra login
HOME/working-directory isolation, and unrelated CI fixture repairs. This
PR does not change agent defaults, stored runner choices, UI, schema, or
provider qualification.

## Verification

- Final candidate: `dde37d7ed0121c10b60b8801eda80f8dc17909ad`. [All 47
ordinary CI jobs
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37842288835)
on attempt 1, including typecheck, tests, build, E2E, runner checks, and
the installed-consumer canary. [Fresh Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15555#issuecomment-6059581546)
is 5/5 on this head; no unresolved threads remain. Human approval is
still outstanding.
- Reused focused controls passed with Node 24: 71 initial narrowed
checks, then 56 affected Codex/selection/eval checks after the relative
PATH correction. Runner TypeScript no-emit, syntax, and diff checks
passed. The existing fixture reproduces the original relative PATH
failure and verifies working-directory selection, empty entries,
ordering, and absolute launch. One CLI entrypoint test was initially
blocked by sandbox IPC and passed with its existing local socket
allowed. Login HOME, config-directory assignments, and working directory
match master.
- [The actual clean Linux npm
consumer](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37842288835/job/113535523044)
passed on the final candidate's CI integration. All 17 Paperclip
tarballs omit native Codex payloads. Official npm host packages retain
their own integrity and `inBundle=false`. Native Codex selects 0.160.0;
the legacy closure retains 0.156.1. Package admission, command leases,
narrow native sandbox resources, consumer hooks, preserved lock, and
offline lifecycle controls passed. Provider calls were zero. No new
workflow is added.
- Actual official Codex 0.156.1 passed on the final committed source on
macOS ARM64: installed dependency preference, absolute and relative PATH
fallback, narrow resource lookup, and app-server initialize/initialized.
Executed module hashes match the candidate. One scripts-disabled
install, three version probes, and one handshake completed in 26
seconds; owned files and process group were removed. No login,
account/model request, or provider task ran.
- CI checked out `dfda8e708e87306d22ed735d78bdfcbe770e99b7` on base
`65b558180533039a891ee0cd1ccab9988aa79adc`. Its 13 upstream paths do not
overlap this PR's 23 paths or alter packaging/Codex inputs. The consumer
report records producer `7b8e94c08657b5ddc265946459762340f125726c`,
after the existing canary staged a generated-lock-only commit (one file,
three insertions). These identities are kept separate; raw
generated-lock bytes were not retained.
- No local Docker or Rust build, paid provider turn, merge, or
deployment. Later PRs must prove live onboarding and production cloud
packaging before changing defaults.

## Risks

- npm must install optional host dependencies. Missing dependencies
still return errors. Paperclip tarballs do not pre-bundle Codex
executables.
- The repository requires CI-owned lockfile updates. PR CI resolves the
changed manifest and stages its own producer lockfile. A raw source
Docker build with `--frozen-lockfile` must wait for the existing master
lockfile bot to merge its refresh, or use a disposable resolved
checkout. No Docker build or deployment is qualified by this PR.
- Ordinary Codex startup accepts version differences. Actual protocol or
login failures remain errors. Explicit ACPX artifact checks retain their
release pins.
- The published server delegates platform installation outside its
bundled JavaScript graph. Focused negative controls reject unsafe
package metadata and paths. The hosted consumer test passed on this
candidate’s CI integration.
- Existing agents retain their stored runner choices. There is no data
migration or automatic upgrade. Release pipeline and platform
qualification work remain separate prerequisites for later defaults.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution, and
parallel agents. The exact serving snapshot and context window are not
exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 0ac194450a fix: make Copilot provider-pack wrappers portable (#15586)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Container images include a movable provider pack for agent
execution.
> - pnpm executable wrappers can contain the temporary build directory.
> - New optional Copilot packages add wrappers that the build does not
replace.
> - This pull request gives those installed wrappers relative executable
paths.
> - Image publication can finish while the existing path check remains
enforced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15572 and #15560. The small portability loop comes from
cryppadotta's larger Copilot runtime PR #15560. This separate fix
repairs image publication without waiting for that feature's
qualification and runtime changes. That PR can remove its duplicate loop
after this lands.

**What happened?**

The standard Docker build stops with `Provider pack shim
copilot-linux-x64 retains its temporary build path`. The failure
occurred before and after #15522. See [the failed master
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37802065316).

**Expected behavior**

Installed native Copilot wrappers resolve their pinned executable after
the provider pack moves. Optional packages that are absent do not gain a
command. The builder still rejects wrappers with temporary paths.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the provider-pack build from the affected master revision on
Linux x64.
2. Let `pnpm deploy --prod` install the optional Copilot package.
3. The wrapper scan rejects its temporary `NODE_PATH`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Master `3367b75ccce34d02f355cda1f1ed3fe0b34cf93d`.

**Deployment mode**

Docker and provider-pack builds.

## What Changed

- Replace installed Copilot platform wrappers with relative native
executable launchers.
- Move the existing executable wrapper writer into an importable helper.
Retain the same launch behavior for Node, Claude and OpenCode.
- Test relocation, argument handling, exit status, absent optional
packages and missing executable packages. Register the tests in the
existing Runner test preparation command.
- Hash the helper in Daytona image identity and prove that helper
changes invalidate the image cache.
- Document the packaging rule. Keep dependencies, provider qualification
and the final temporary-path check unchanged.

## Verification

- 17 Node packaging tests passed across the new wrapper tests,
provider-pack release tests and candidate selection tests.
- Six existing bundled remote-provider-pack tests passed using the
Runner Vitest configuration.
- Nine Daytona image identity tests and Runner E2E typecheck passed
after the cache-input correction.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- Real `pnpm deploy --prod` reproduction on macOS ARM64: the original
Copilot wrapper contained the temporary path. After the rewrite and
directory relocation, the actual executable returned Copilot CLI 1.0.88
with exit code zero using only `/usr/bin:/bin` in `PATH`.
- Syntax checks, `git diff --check` and the pre-push secret scan passed.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` reproduced the same five
skill/connector fixture failures observed earlier in this workspace. It
was stopped after current-head clean-checkout CI passed; later local
phases were not run. This local run is not claimed as passing. Focused
packaging tests, workspace typecheck/build and all hosted CI passed.
- [Hosted Docker verification
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37804902678):
Linux AMD64 and ARM64 image builds, multi-architecture publication and
the process-reaping smoke check. This run tested
`779d94989c54d9abbeba0838194c951186af66a6`; the only later changes are
Daytona cache identity and its regression test. Provider-pack build code
is identical. Local Docker did not respond within the bounded probe.
- Current head `db2c19e270b8d5a7bab5db39d3de0e4761cf57c3`: 54 successful
checks, two conditional skips, no failures and no merge conflicts. Apex
is 5/5 with no unresolved comments.

## Risks

The helper uses each installed package's exported executable. An
installed wrapper with a missing package still fails the build. This
change does not execute Copilot during image construction, alter
dependency pins, change runtime admission or weaken the temporary-path
check.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, tool use
and code execution. The exact serving model identifier and context
window are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip b5342febe5 fix(runner): require current-turn completion after connection continuations (#15514)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents, tasks, permissions, and execution budgets.
> - Native tasks can resume after a connection decision in the same
provider conversation.
> - Each turn still needs an accepted completion report.
> - Compact continuation messages did not explain that reports from
earlier turns cannot finish the new turn.
> - The connection evaluator could also grade before the final reply was
stored or reject valid unavailable-access wording.
> - This PR clarifies the current-turn report requirement and fixes
those observation boundaries.
> - The original connection instructions and strict native completion
gate stay in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15489. The reduction remains draft while this separate repair is
qualified. Refs #15471 for the earlier connection continuation work.

## What Changed

- Add a current-turn completion reminder to compact continuation inputs.
- Keep final prose insufficient for completion. Preserve permissions and
retry policy.
- Wait for the final successful task run's saved, attributed decline
reply within the existing deadline.
- Use one bounded explanation matcher for both decline checks.
- Wait for a recorded tool-action rejection to dispatch its bound
continuation, with strict company, task, agent and source-run checks.
- Retain the exact grading input before later API refreshes.
- Add failure and delay regressions and update the Runner and evaluator
docs.

## Verification

The fresh comparison has **15/15 original passes on each variant**: 15
unchanged pass pairs, zero new failures, and no pending pair. There are
30 case attempts and **65 actual agent runs** (baseline 33; candidate
32). All runs succeeded. All 30 cleanups passed. No model attempt was
retried.

| Profile | Baseline | Candidate |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Native Codex `gpt-5.6-sol` | 5/5 | 5/5 |
| ACPX Claude `claude-sonnet-5` | 5/5 | 5/5 |
| OpenCode `openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731` | 5/5 | 5/5 |

Each profile covers service approval, service decline, connection
decline, provider decline, and selection of the second provider. The
saved replies, approved briefings, decisions, fixture observations,
final task states, and native completion records were inspected. All 18
saved decline-grade snapshots match their original captured inputs and
checks. Result, API snapshot, and final ledger run sets agree.

- Candidate source: `79905343bba280d462765faad19a26e7f179259e`. Baseline
source: `7c5e120158f1385a1fc5f20be41f66c58a605534`. Both use master

source is separately frozen at
`dd777f4b7343305c4e6f44c422f44a1d78e12e4f`.
- Both variants use the same evaluator, fixtures, models, permissions,
720-second cell deadline, and 1,000-cent company and agent hard stops.
The only production difference is the compact continuation reminder.
- Suite hash:

Definition hash:
`ea9e17f54fe0af1acbb2337ddfab8a7e92db8488bd0f59510a63095ca0229b60`.
- Provider-free transport capture: startup/resume input stays at 55,726
bytes. Compact continuation input grows from 53,334 to 53,535 bytes. The
42-tool catalog stays unchanged. These are Paperclip input bytes, not
complete vendor prompt tokens.
- Focused evaluator tests: 31 pass. Native contract, transport delivery,
and session tests: 194 pass. Evaluator support: 1,819 TypeScript tests
and 128 Node tests pass, with one intentional skip.
- Full build, workspace typecheck, and evaluator typecheck pass.
Current-head CI passes all required gates. The current rollup has 51
successful check runs, two intentional Storybook skips, and a successful
Snyk status. Review is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.
- CI attempt 1 had one initial runtime-fixture health timeout. The exact
test and its full 164-test file pass locally. One CI shard retry passed.
The original CI failure, its dependent verify failure, and the retry
remain visible in [CI
history](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37711235060).
- The broad local `pnpm test:run` attempt was interrupted after about 49
minutes (exit 130). It recorded one failure in the unchanged Zep
memory-connector disabled-setting test. That test and the full 388-test
tool-access file pass in separate local checks; current-head CI also
passes. The local cause is not established, and this broad local attempt
is **not** claimed as passing. Three earlier local failures also pass in
their isolated checks; their original logs remain retained.
- The first two setup admissions were cancelled before provider jobs to
include the review correction. They made no provider calls. The
completed campaigns above are the first and only model attempts for
these corrected variants.

Cost evidence stays separate from behavior. Original result summaries
report only OpenCode amounts: baseline $0.039192096 and candidate
$0.063221620. Final run ledgers also retain estimates for Claude
(baseline $1.232439000; candidate $1.333611200) and Codex (baseline
$2.340324400; candidate $2.129335600). These estimates do not replace
the original summaries. Local and GitHub runtime are unmetered here.
Invoices are unknown. This is not a cheaper or faster claim.

## Risks

- A single matched trial cannot prove general equivalence or causation.
The reminder is an instruction change, not a new completion enforcement
rule.
- Candidate OpenCode service-decline finished within one continuous run;
its baseline used two. That pair passed the task outcome, but it does
not qualify the reminder on a resumed decline turn. No extra paid run
was used to replace it.
- The text matcher is bounded evidence of an explanation. It does not
prove reasoning or consumption of feedback. Bounded stdout excerpts do
not prove that every extra attempted tool call is absent.
- Missing saved replies or continuations still fail at the original
deadline. Failed native completion remains a failure even when final
prose is correct.
- The unresolved local-suite discrepancy above remains a validation
limit. Full remote CI and both focused local reproductions pass.
- The original connection instructions stay in place. These results do
not qualify the reduction in #15489. Its original 11/15 versus 12/15
grades and two new failing pairs remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact deployment ID and context window
are not exposed in this session. Capabilities used: reasoning,
repository editing, code execution, test inspection and eval analysis.

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.

DottaandPaperclip 2ec82c5774 fix(runner): preserve task context when tool connections change (#14963)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use tools through company-scoped connections and provider
sessions.
> - Resolving a tool connection currently forces a fresh session even
when the provider can load new tools into the existing conversation.
> - A fresh provider conversation can receive too little history to
continue the task.
> - This pull request adds explicit tool-refresh capabilities and uses
them in both runner paths.
> - Fresh attempts receive bounded task history with source IDs and
retrieval instructions.
> - The benefit is that agents can continue the same task after a
connection changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A resolved tool connection forced a fresh provider conversation. The new
conversation could lose the original goal and prior answers. Claude also
rejected resume when only the MCP server set changed.

**Expected behavior**

Resume the provider conversation when its harness can refresh tools.
When a fresh session is required, supply enough bounded history to
continue the task. Preserve company, agent, task, workspace, model,
instruction, and skill checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a conversation and agree on a task and its constraints.
2. Request and connect a tool needed for the task.
3. Continue the conversation after the connection resolves.
4. Check that the agent remembers the task and can use the new tool.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The bug was reproduced on master at `c46e41e81`. This branch is rebased
on current master.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server. Both legacy adapters and the native runner are
affected.

Related public work: Refs #13282 for task-backed conversations. Refs
#13057 for the broader session-compaction proposal. Refs #14659 for
another report about local CLI session continuity. This change fixes
tool-connection continuation. Provider authentication repairs keep their
existing recovery behavior.

## What Changed

- Expose tool-refresh support in native harness descriptors and legacy
adapter metadata.
- Request tool refresh after connection resolution. Keep provider
authentication repair as a fresh-session wake.
- Reload current tools and credentials while retaining supported Claude,
Codex, Grok, and other provider conversations.
- Allow MCP-only changes during qualified native recovery. Keep all
other compatibility checks.
- Refresh managed-provider and ACPX tool bindings when attaching a new
run.
- Add a fresh-session handoff for both runner paths. Bound database
reads, excerpts, and the final packet to 24,000 bytes.
- Include the original request, recent messages, decisions, plans, prior
answers, and source IDs. Mark omitted content. Apply reset boundaries,
wake cutoffs, quarantine, and secret redaction.
- Add regression tests and document the capabilities and handoff
behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Rust formatting passed.
- Final review fixes passed 314 server tests, 333 adapter utility tests,
139 native-session runtime tests, and 12 managed-provider Rust tests.
They verify historical quarantine, raised budgets across attachment, no
history reads on successful resume, and handoff delivery on fresh retry.
- Broader branch verification also passed 1,401 adapter utility tests,
1,047 runner TypeScript tests, 43 Grok adapter tests, and 311 Rust core
tests.
- Live Claude CLI and Grok ACP probes preserved the provider session ID,
recalled a prior task constraint, and called a newly added read-only MCP
tool.
- GitHub CI passed on `b21486d18084a7aa4cafbe8e012f7cad6585d9cc`: 55
successful checks and 4 skipped checks. This includes all test shards,
all eight browser shards, runner checks, and the Grok clean public npm
install canary. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37057514976).
- A full local test attempt encountered a separate Git snapshot timeout.
All affected local suites passed after the final edits, and the full CI
test gates passed.
- Review the capability matrix in `packages/paperclip-runner/README.md`.
Repeat the four reproduction steps with a supported provider and with an
unsupported harness.

## Risks

- Provider tool refresh can fail. Existing recovery falls back to a
fresh conversation where policy permits it.
- A new transport can replace an old process while preserving the
provider conversation. Tests cover current credentials and unchanged
identity.
- Long history can omit older context. Explicit markers and source IDs
let the agent retrieve needed context within task scope.
- Unknown and unqualified harnesses use the fresh-session path. No
database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution, and live
provider testing. The exact model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session. Claude and Grok also ran as test subjects.

DottaandPaperclip d034ba7491 fix(interactions): derive question storage from canonical forms (#14946)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents request human input through durable issue interactions.
> - A question form has a canonical presentation and a compatibility
storage format.
> - The creation API required agents to write both formats.
> - Tool guidance told agents to split text and choice questions across
those formats.
> - This pull request accepts one complete canonical form and derives
storage fields on the server.
> - The benefit is a complete question card with stable answer and retry
behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: Refs #13630 and #14430. PR #13630 addresses the display of
historical partial forms. This change fixes creation and keeps the check
that rejects conflicting new forms.

**What happened?**

A question save supplied three compatibility questions and one canonical
text question. The API correctly rejected the incomplete canonical form.
The Runner's tool description encouraged this split. Sending only a
complete canonical form also failed because the API required
compatibility questions.

**Expected behavior**

An agent sends one complete `payload.questionSet` with every text and
choice question. Paperclip derives `payload.questions` for storage and
answer compatibility. Existing legacy requests remain valid. Explicitly
conflicting dual forms remain invalid.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Call `paperclip_request_human_input` with `interactionKind:
"questions"`.
2. Send `payload: { version: 1, questionSet: ... }` with a required text
question and a required choice question.
3. The old API rejects the missing compatibility questions. With this
change, it stores both questions and preserves the canonical form.
4. Retry with the same idempotency key. Confirm that only one
interaction exists.
5. Submit both answers. Confirm that the normal resolver and
continuation rules apply.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The branch is based on `cf8ad63c8`. The problem affects the native
Runner and the interaction creation API.

**Deployment mode**

Server deployment with the native Paperclip Runner. Integration tests
use the real interaction service and an embedded test database.

## What Changed

- Add one shared canonical-to-storage projection. Reuse it for native
harness question requests.
- Accept canonical-only question creation at the shared validator and
server boundary.
- Export the input type and update the plugin SDK and its RPC contract.
- Advertise a typed, complete question form in the live and scenario
tool schemas.
- Enforce canonical text and custom-answer constraints before ordinary
or native resolution. Preserve harmless display whitespace.
- Run regex matching in isolated workers with a deadline and resource
limits. Both answer paths await the result before persistence. Saved
native delivery uses the validated answer without taking another worker
slot.
- Update agent guidance and generated Runner contracts.
- Test mixed forms, option-ID collisions, retries, answers, legacy
requests, and conflicting forms.

## Verification

- Interaction service, HTTP route, native bridge, and Runner authority
suites: 221 tests passed after correcting an obsolete tool-description
assertion.
- Shared validator, plugin SDK, CLI, and UI compatibility suites: 67
tests passed.
- Runner core tool-contract suite: 20 tests passed. AJV validates live
and scenario schemas.
- Final review regressions: 172 shared, service, native bridge, and
authority tests passed. These cover text length, pattern, numeric
limits, whitespace, custom option IDs, and historical pending cards.
- Runner session suites: 67 tests passed. Published example tests: 4
tests passed.
- Server typecheck and the shared/server builds passed after the
compatibility fixes.
- Final delivery verification: 35 response-delivery tests passed. The
native delivery regression proves saved answers do not enter pattern
workers; server typecheck and build passed.
- Pattern security and answer-flow verification: 205 tests passed after
repairing the child fixture loader. These cover pathological matching,
event-loop responsiveness, worker concurrency, slot cleanup, HTTP
routes, native delivery, and the full helper in a child process.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on the bounded-worker revision.
- `pnpm build` passed on the bounded-worker revision.
- All 55 GitHub checks passed on `fe457af`; four optional jobs were
skipped. An unchanged Cursor adapter test timed out once in CI, passed
locally, and passed on one failed-job rerun.
- Reviewers can send the canonical-only mixed form above and verify that
the saved interaction contains both canonical and compatibility
questions.

## Risks

- The creation API accepts a new input shape. Stored rows and answer
contracts keep the existing shape.
- The shared projection must preserve synthetic free-text option IDs.
Collision and native round-trip tests cover this behavior.
- Historical partial rows remain readable. New conflicting dual forms,
including written-answer mismatches, remain rejected.
- Existing pending cards retain the written-answer paths offered by
their stored options. Canonical text constraints still apply.
- Ordinary answers now enforce declared canonical constraints before
persistence. Invalid answers leave the card pending.
- Regex validation has a one-second deadline and a four-worker capacity
limit. A complex pattern or capacity error leaves the card pending with
a validation error.
- No database migration or change to company authorization is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The session exposes the GPT-6 model
family; its exact runtime model identifier and context window size are
not exposed. Used reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip 9786f6df56 fix(runner): preserve credential content in document saves (#14937)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Runner sends authorized tool calls to the control plane.
> - Agents use these calls to save plans and instruction files.
> - The Runner used diagnostic secret detection to reject execution
arguments.
> - Ordinary credential-related prose could reject a document save
before persistence.
> - This pull request forwards the original arguments and leaves
credential policy to the provider harness.
> - The benefit is reliable saves with useful diagnostic records.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related foundation: Refs #12415 and #14430. No duplicate save-policy fix
was found.

**What happened?**

A `write_document` call failed before the server saved its plan. The
Runner reported `semantic tool input contains credential material;
refusing to execute altered arguments`. The detector also masked
ordinary phrases such as `secret manager` and `credential handling` in
diagnostics. Both TypeScript dispatchers had equivalent execution gates.
One dispatcher also rewrote structured approval and question payloads
before execution.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip forwards authorized arguments unchanged. The provider harness
decides credential-content policy. Log and audit redaction does not
reject or rewrite save input.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Send an authorized `write_document` call with a plan that discusses
credential handling.
2. Include an intentional credential value in the body to exercise
harness-owned policy.
3. The old Runner rejects the call. With this change, the document
service stores the exact body.
4. Diagnostic records still mask explicit credential values. Qualified
credential fields, short bearer values, opaque diagnostic pairs, and
valid encoded JSON token headers have regression coverage.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced at `c46e41e81c03cd3c8b64cf993615b604d7fe8c62`. The branch is
based on current `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Server deployment with the native Paperclip Runner. Local regression
tests use the real document service and an embedded test database.

## What Changed

- Remove credential-content vetoes from Rust admission and both
TypeScript semantic dispatchers.
- Preserve original structured approval and question arguments during
execution.
- Keep transport bounds, schema checks, authorization, idempotency, and
audit masking.
- Require explicit credential syntax or recognized formats for
diagnostic masking. Preserve ordinary prose, metadata, and dotted
identifiers.
- Test exact document persistence, replay, nested argument identities,
and masked audit copies.
- Remove obsolete retry guidance and document harness-owned credential
policy.

## Verification

- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml --locked -p
paperclip-runner-core --lib --test acpx_event_payload --test
acpx_provider_state --test acpx_provider_turns`: 355 tests passed.
- Focused server and adapter tests: 189 tests passed after rebase. These
include the real document save and the complete tool-gateway suite.
- Semantic dispatcher and conformance tests: 34 tests passed.
- Diagnostic redaction and MCP tests: 46 tests passed, including all six
review examples.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on the repaired branch.
- The broad local root suite was interrupted after database fixture
setup failures. The focused database suites passed. CI runs the complete
configured test lanes.

## Risks

- Authorized tool arguments can intentionally contain credentials. The
harness must enforce its content policy.
- Diagnostic detection is narrower. Explicit assignments, credential
fields, and recognized credential formats remain masked.
- The change does not add a database migration or change company
authorization.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The session exposes the GPT-6 model
family; its exact runtime model identifier and context window size are
not exposed. Used reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip 18e8c121d9 fix(runner): include Grok support in public installs with sandbox prerequisites (#14024)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents through a shared native runner.
> - Built-in harness support should ship with Paperclip's public
distribution.
> - Grok already speaks ACP; it does not require a new public bridge
package.
> - Sandbox provisioning owns the native executable and its pinned
version.
> - The runner must verify that prerequisite without downloading it
during npm installation.
> - This change separates built-in launcher identity from external
runtime identity.
> - Clean npm installation and live staging checks verify the
distribution boundary.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13882, #13973, #13977, #13979.

This follow-up now targets master after #13882 was squash-merged. It
replaces the private `@paperclipai/grok-acp` workspace package with
runner-owned assets. Current master is included so the branch also
contains the merged scheduler, complete-event capture, and durable
cleanup fixes.

## What Changed

- Ship Grok launcher and qualification metadata inside the runner's
compiled output and the public server's vendored runner tree.
- Remove the separate Grok npm package and all package-manager install
hooks for this runtime.
- Require the checksum-verified Grok Build 1.0.13 binary at
`/opt/paperclip/providers/grok/1.0.13/grok` in the selected execution
environment. Provision it explicitly in the Daytona image and CI setup.
- Keep native binaries outside the provider pack. Bind the built-in
launcher into the pack manifest.
- Preserve executable leases, descriptor-backed startup, credential
fences, permissions, and exact ACP model admission.
- Use `builtin:grok-acp` and `native:grok` as profile identities.
Historical package-profile sessions fail closed on resume rather than
being silently reinterpreted.
- Resolve built-in assets from the authenticated sidecar location,
including public server npm layouts. Keep the controller path out of
provider environments.
- Add clean npm tarball installation verification to the existing
trusted canary CI job and the admitted manual EC2 verification path. It
stages a unified release version and runs npm lifecycle scripts, then
verifies missing-prerequisite rejection and admission after separate
provisioning without credentials or inference.
- Include the controller-owned provider pack in stamped Cloud images.
Unstamped local images omit the pack and remain usable; remote ACPX
requires full source provenance.
- Correct CLI approval-page metadata for an already authenticated Cloud
board user; approval authorization remains unchanged.
- Honor explicit native-runner enablement in the Cloud agent picker and
direct setup page, keeping the flag disabled by default.
- Allow selecting the execution environment before connecting
credentials. Include Grok in the existing authenticated hello-probe
flow, targeting its pinned native prerequisite for runner setup.
- Recover an existing subscription sign-in conflict through an explicit
cancel-and-retry action, serialized after cancellation succeeds.
- Preserve the selected ACPX harness before normalizing config fields,
so new Grok agents use the Grok default model.
- Keep the credential-free Cloud provider pack root-owned and readable
after runtime UID remapping; verify manifest and referenced asset access
under an unrelated unprivileged UID during image builds.
- Archive prior failover backups alongside explicitly replaced harness
state, preserving evidence while preventing stale backups from blocking
a fresh replacement.
- Update Daytona image content inputs and contract tests for the
built-in assets and explicit provisioner.
- Document and regression-test the shared `approve-all` default for Grok
setup, saved configuration, and native execution. Explicitly saved
restrictions remain unchanged.

## Verification

Current merge-repair head `df09eb3e1a619430ad8419a0ee9aedd486689b05`
incorporates master `f1a394bd30cb56fb9e479f98b9f50176fe921858` after the
base PR was squash-merged. All 12 conflicts came from incoming files
identical to the tested pre-squash base. The final tree exactly matches
a three-way merge using that original base, preserving built-in Grok
distribution and removal of the obsolete private package. All 252
focused runner/UI tests, six npm-isolation tests, and token gates pass.
Fresh exact-head Greptile review is 5/5 with no outstanding findings;
security scans and EC2 native compilation pass. All current-head CI is
green: 56 successful checks/statuses and four intentional skips ([run
36468768035](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36468768035)).
The repository owner explicitly authorized bypassing code-owner approval
after all checks passed; no CI checks or repository protection settings
are bypassed or changed. The only remaining PR was removed from the
completed stack metadata to permit native auto-merge.

Earlier integration head `78cb306ecc41b5c96577c26c1d89153b0ef865a1`
includes master `3447609d2247e75e55d91493dda91a608364f672` (2026-09-28).
Two master advances during verification overlapped the eval catalog; the
final merge preserves Grok qualification, completion updates, and
bounded API-response reading in all 348 cells. All 77 focused
catalog/eval/workflow tests pass. Both native stack layers (#14397) are
mergeable, and both exact-head Greptile reviews are 5/5 with successful
security scans and no unresolved review threads. All current-head CI is
green: 56 successful checks/statuses and four intentional skips ([CI
attempts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36447124691)).
The initial attempt lost two EC2 runners to shutdown signals and stalled
a third shard during dependency preparation; all three passed the
same-commit failed-job-only retry. Trunk code-owner requirements remain
enforced. The review summary’s non-blocking saved-asset offset
classification note concerns code already merged in #14301; those
runtime files are identical to master and outside this stack’s diff.
Historical live evidence below retains its original source revisions.
[Final public npm
verification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36445542764)
passed on `76ea70cd4d13786a042af9df82f0fd7a8c85ae30`: 17 public
packages, an executed offline lifecycle sentinel, unchanged consumer
lock, built-in launcher, missing-prerequisite rejection, and verified
separately provisioned binary/command lease. Provisioning and cleanup
require no host privilege elevation; only the positive probe mounts the
temporary native binary read-only. The verifier is unchanged by the
final master merge. All six isolation tests and an offline npm smoke
test pass. The prior head had 56 green CI checks and a 5/5 review after
two unchanged tests timed out and passed a failed-job-only retry ([CI
attempts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36444597313)).
All 56 recovery-display/lineage tests pass; re-review cleared the
already-covered missed-retry concern. Earlier EC2 failures remain
retained: [npm lockfile
rejection](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36436311203),
[missing compiler in the slim
image](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36440210984),
and the aggregate 15-minute test timeouts in those broad runs. Both
broad attempts passed typecheck, token gates, Product E2E type/unit
checks and build. The focused EC2 lane preserves the existing
trusted-actor and immutable-source gates.


Earlier documentation/test checkpoint
`ff244c4fd78a7ede5a3e00efe09f475f133ef33e` leaves runtime behavior
unchanged. 154 focused tests pass across configuration building, native
provider resolution, permission policy, credentials, UI configuration,
and new-agent setup (including both Grok auth modes); token gates pass.
All fresh CI is green for this head: 56 successful checks/statuses and
two intentional skips ([run
36367065119](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36367065119)).
Greptile is 5/5 with no new findings. Grok already inherits the shared
`approve-all` default, so unattended setup requires no manual permission
change.

Runtime head `bb5a9307991f1ac567b781970ef11b39d518e19b` fixes a final
staging continuation failure before provider startup: explicit
replacement archived the old harness but left its failover backups
active, which caused `runner_harness_state_mismatch`. The regression
fails before the fix and passes after it; all eight adjacent
recovery-safety cases also pass. Old backups remain inspectable inside
the continuity archive. All fresh CI is green at this head ([run
36360839248](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36360839248)),
with a 5/5 review. One unrelated Cursor test timed out in the initial
server shard; the same-commit failed-job rerun passed, and both attempts
are retained. Staging deployment is confirmed healthy on this revision.
The controller image is
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip@sha256:6ad91c487910ccd2596ff7aed0a3a3ea5233d12b51b83cd6e1402237749b9673`.
The final browser-created staging task passed on this exact revision
with API authentication: context read → structured human question →
controller restart → answer submission → same native provider session
resumed → document saved → task Done. The two turns took approximately
119s and 77s. The actual write receipt was applied, and the saved
document has exactly one revision containing the selected answer and
requested marker. Usage and cost were not reported. [Controller image
build](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36360889243).

- Previous integration head `a44f7dbb6b6f77cd9ed893756ca453307f281e5f`:
all CI green (53 successful checks/statuses, two intentional skips),
including repository typecheck/build/tests, native Runner tests, browser
shards, and canary installation checks. [CI run
36358672529](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36358672529).
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- Focused checks cover Grok credentials, executable admission, launcher
assets, provider-pack paths/permissions, workflow contracts, setup
defaults, CLI authorization, and subscription conflict recovery. All 39
protocol definitions validate. Final integration checks pass 124
catalog/evidence/cache tests and nine project-form tests; token gates
pass. Some local dependency checks could not load the stale installed
dependency tree; the corresponding fresh EC2 checks pass.
- Clean public npm installation passed on EC2 at
`8b172ebcf8e02e30662d830c00f3961e3bd459ec` ([run
36164964900](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36164964900)):
17 unified-version packages, lifecycle scripts enabled, built-in
launcher present, no separate Grok package or npm-downloaded binary,
missing prerequisite rejected, separately provisioned native executable
and command lease verified. No credentials or inference were used.
Subsequent changes preserve this npm asset layout.
- The immutable Daytona prerequisite image is
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:98957d5be0ac774d086b6402b5849e8e6356fec70fb8c09fca6eb4ed6de918e0`,
built from `5a2db471f3ddabe77f9f80e76ed27f996cb97fba`. The previous
Cloud controller image was
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip@sha256:fd914e1ab1e45f741e8e078ff452d16f082d7ac05f9b4b3506d3a3c64150d204`,
built from `a44f7dbb6b6f77cd9ed893756ca453307f281e5f`; it is superseded
by the latest image above. Its EC2 build verified provider-pack access
under an unrelated unprivileged UID.
- Browser staging at `40f898bc4cba73c1dff4e6344a3983ba0fb247ef` passed
full Grok onboarding with the correct `grok-4.7` model, saved credential
delivery, and pinned Daytona execution. A browser-created task read
context and asked the structured human question. After a controller
restart, answering the persisted question resumed the same native
provider session, saved the requested document, and completed the task.
Actual tool outcomes and durable state agree: one question and one
document revision. The two successful turns took 42.7s and 63.1s; usage
and cost were not reported.
- Restricted policy returned the expected `approval_required` outcome.
Functional staging tests explicitly selected `approve-all`; controller
authorization and governed approvals remain enforced. Temporary board
CLI access was revoked and verified rejected (HTTP 401), and the
disposable onboarding agent was paused.

Failures remain retained: the pre-fix continuation failure (its task
remains blocked; the passing final task is fresh), the original Cloud
provider-pack permission failure, the expected restricted-policy denial,
the superseded npm staging failure, and an earlier monolithic CI
infrastructure timeout. Browser CI exposed a project alias/form race;
the final stack uses master's stronger draft-preservation fix and all
browser shards pass. Historical full subscription/API protocol and
Product rosters retain their original source revisions and do not
qualify this packaging revision. No local Docker or Rust build was used.

## Risks

The branch includes master’s draft-preservation fix for project URL
aliases. It keeps the same project’s edit form mounted and clears prior
data when the project or company changes.

Custom sandboxes and local execution hosts must provision the pinned
binary before Grok starts. Missing, changed, unsupported-platform, and
symlinked executables fail admission. The new builtin profile cannot
resume sessions created with the former private-package profile.
Existing Claude/Codex npm bridge profiles retain their package pins.
Grok restricted modes preserve the selected policy but cannot
automatically admit Paperclip calls: ACP permission metadata does not
independently bind tool authority, so those calls stop with
`approval_required`. New Grok configurations default to `approve-all`,
including API configurations that omit the mode. Existing explicitly
restricted configurations remain restricted; controller authorization
and governed approvals remain enforced.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with tool use and code execution. The exact
serving model identifier and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5ee9e751fb fix(runner): discover assigned tools when direct catalogs exceed limits (#14218)
Keep assigned app tools accessible when the combined Runner catalog exceeds
its operation or byte limits. Reserve task and completion tools, then expose
bounded discovery and call tools for large catalogs. Fetch oversized schemas
in reauthorized chunks without blocking later search results.

Retain task ownership, work-mode restrictions, pinned assignments, current
gateway authorization, approvals, and audit. Small catalogs stay direct.

Validation: 46 focused server tests, two Runner capacity tests, local
typecheck/build, 52 passing CI checks, and Greptile 5/5 with no open findings.

DottaandPaperclip 7bc03e0acd feat(runner): default harnesses to full auto and support task reassignment (#13686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat uses native runners to save plans and coordinate tasks.
> - Provider defaults differed across harnesses and could stop
unattended work at a second permission gate.
> - Agents also lacked a dedicated tool to move existing work to another
agent safely.
> - This change defaults native providers to full automatic permission
for provider tools and connected tools.
> - A guarded reassignment tool preserves task identity, stops the
previous run, and schedules the new owner once.
> - Codex and Claude chat acceptance tests now use production permission
defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner, ACPX Claude permission policy, task authority, and Agent
Chat acceptance tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A user can authorize an agent to save a plan or create a task, but
Claude's default provider gate can still stop that action. Reassignment
needs a dedicated operation that preserves context and avoids concurrent
owners or unintended recovery runs.

**Proposed solution**

Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex to
`never`. Apply the defaults at configuration, execution, fresh-session,
resume, driver, and proxy boundaries. Keep explicit permission settings
and server-side company, claim, task-mode, and approval checks. Add
`reassign_task` with version checks, durable idempotency, audited
cancellation, and guarded successor scheduling.

**Alternatives considered**

A Paperclip-only allowlist still blocks provider tools and other
connections during unattended work. Full automatic permission is the
requested product default. Recreating a task discards its identity and
history. Updating assignment without stopping the previous run can leave
two agents working on the same task.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing planning, delegated work, governed tool
access, and recovery features. It adds no new service or schema
migration. Recent related tasks and open PRs were checked for duplicate
work.

**Additional context**

Related: #13678 (Agent Chat tools and recovery), #13677 (remote runner
startup). The stacked legacy-adapter companion is #13693. This also
fixes the deployed-server artifact fallback needed to stage the current
runner binary.

## What Changed

- Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex
to `never`, including missing settings at direct driver and proxy entry
points. These defaults cover provider tools and connected tools.
Preserve explicitly configured restrictive modes.
- Include assigned approval reads using canonical side-effect
classifications, so verifying a recorded approval does not trigger
another provider gate. Paperclip approval decisions still enforce
controller authority.
- Carry the new permission mode through server configuration, execution
contracts, recovery identity, TypeScript, and Rust. Keep
`approve-paperclip` as an optional restricted mode, with exact SDK rules
and closed unknown requests. It is not a default.
- Add `reassign_task` to the semantic catalog, controller, mock
authority, and generated contracts.
- Guard reassignment with company authorization, expected owner and
version, protected-state checks, and durable retry receipts.
- Honor explicit backlog task creation atomically with the initial plan,
without scheduling a wake. Preserve backlog holds regardless of
dependency readiness.
- Stop active work before changing ownership. Restore the prior owner
through a guarded, idempotent wake if final handoff validation fails.
Keep intentional reassignment stops out of failure recovery. Preserve
backlog and blocked states without waking them early.
- Add authorization, concurrency, replay, stop, and permission boundary
regressions. Add Codex and Claude chat reassignment cases and run native
chat cases with production defaults.
- Clarify shared runner guidance: save plans and Paperclip documents
directly with `write_document`; create and register a local file only
when a downloadable file is requested.
- Document provider defaults and the operator choices for existing
agents.

## Verification

- Current head `d82fbb0f03546d27cecf072250e4172e0b1ee662`: **55 checks
passed**, with two intentional skips. [PR
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13686/checks).
- Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5**. The security reviewer
acknowledged the intended full-auto default, and the acknowledged
discussions are resolved.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally
after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server, runner,
API, default/resume, and heartbeat configuration tests passed.
- **All six real-provider acceptance cases passed on their first
attempt, with cleanup passing:** plan handoff, task reassignment, and
backlog creation/status, each on native Claude and Codex. Evidence
records Claude's effective `approve-all` mode. [Campaign and
downloadable
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548).
- The live campaign tested combined revision
`a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The final PR heads add only
a heartbeat test expectation correction; application code is unchanged
from that live-tested revision.
- The campaign's result-enforcement job passed. Its separate report
publisher failed because the trusted workflow's `patchedDependencies`
configuration differs from its frozen lockfile. All six results and
screenshots remain available as GitHub artifacts. The overall manual
workflow is red for this publishing failure.
- Full-suite coverage is supplied by the passing CI partitions. The
separate unsharded local run was stopped after the corresponding CI
partitions passed; it is not counted as a completed local run.
- Reassignment tests cover stale state, cross-company access, denied
authority, cancellation failure, compensating wake, and idempotent
retries. Backlog tests verify the original creation audit, saved plan,
exact task count, and absence of task-bound runs.

## Risks

- Agents with no explicit permission mode now receive full provider tool
permission, including connected tools. This is a deliberate broad
default. Existing explicit restrictive modes still apply. Controller
authorization, company isolation, workspace boundaries, and Paperclip
governance remain in force.
- Reassignment crosses run cancellation and task ownership transactions.
Durable stop intent, revalidation, audit receipts, and guarded queue
dispatch cover interruptions and retries.
- The new permission enum requires a current runner artifact. The remote
artifact fallback uses the same resolved controller binary for upload
and execution.
- Live provider behavior remains subject to the selected model. Targeted
live results do not qualify the full catalog.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 78ce96a48b fix(runner): restore native Claude context and read permissions (#13422)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner supplies each agent with instructions, assigned
skills, and tools.
> - Native Claude lost its skill snapshot before provider launch. It
also changed exact model IDs to aliases.
> - The read permission mode denied ordinary Paperclip reads because
this runner has no interactive approval handler.
> - This pull request restores the missing context and permits only
assigned tools that Paperclip defines as reads.
> - Other requests that need approval stop with a clear action for the
operator. They do not retry automatically.
> - Agents can complete read tasks. Users can see why a restricted task
stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native Claude could not find assigned skills. The ACP layer could
replace an exact model ID with an alias and then fail identity
verification. The default `approve-reads` mode denied Paperclip read
tools. A denied write showed a generic transport failure.

The tool descriptions also called live operations “mock” operations. The
completion prompt said to call a completion tool once, although the
protocol can reject a claim and require a corrected call.

**Expected behavior**

Load assigned skills before launch. Keep the selected model ID. Allow
assigned Paperclip reads. Stop an operation that needs approval with
clear instructions when no approval handler exists.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a native Paperclip Runner agent with ACPX Claude and an
exact model ID.
2. Assign a skill and ask the agent to use it.
3. Select the read permission mode and ask the agent to read task
context and list documents.
4. Ask the agent to write a document. Check the task state and recovery
message.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from `d351e08deee1b49d3467a950d1a3f01131943441`.

**Deployment mode**

Local native runner with real Claude, Rust runnerd, the Paperclip
server, and embedded PostgreSQL.

Related: #13196 fixed remote skill staging in the legacy `claude_local`
adapter. The native runner uses a separate path, which this pull request
fixes.

## What Changed

- Carry the runtime context through Rust and the ACPX sidecar. Load
assigned Claude skills after the provider lifetime lease is held.
Refresh the files on each open.
- Write the exact requested model ID into the isolated Claude settings.
- Grant exact MCP permissions for the intersection of assigned tools and
Paperclip's read catalog. Provider hints cannot grant access. Existing
task-control permissions stay in place.
- Stop requests that need an unavailable approval handler. Preserve the
typed error through the server. Show “Approval required” on the task and
require operator action without automatic retry.
- Label the setting “Allow Paperclip reads.” Remove “mock” from live
tool descriptions and regenerate the contracts.
- Change one completion-prompt sentence to require one accepted result.
Add regression tests and update the runner documentation.

## Verification

- Red/green regression tests cover read admission, unavailable approval
handling, server recovery, and the task error message.
- A real Claude read trial failed before the fix and completed after it:
[red
trace](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/object?object_type=project_logs&object_id=fda74078-b00d-495a-90d3-ea1be019d71b&id=95e6a326e24437f1),
[green

- Full browser tests used real Claude and the production tool authority.
Reads completed. A write stopped with “Approval required.” No document
was created and no automatic retry was scheduled. All nine checks
passed: [events and
screenshots](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/object?object_type=project_logs&object_id=fda74078-b00d-495a-90d3-ea1be019d71b&id=1c4ff10be0d779cc).
- A separate full browser test assigned a skill, invoked it, and
completed with a marker absent from the task prompt: [skill
evidence](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/object?object_type=project_logs&object_id=fda74078-b00d-495a-90d3-ea1be019d71b&id=ba5fbcb29a60be52).
- Post-rebase checks passed: 128 targeted runner tests, 46 Rust tests,
27 sidecar/protocol contract tests, `pnpm -r typecheck`, and `pnpm
build`. The server/UI red-green checks and `pnpm check:token-gates` also
passed. The full suite passed in CI, including all general and
serialized test shards, all three browser shards, and runner
`check:all`. The duplicate unsharded local full-suite run was stopped
after CI passed.

Braintrust links require project access. The traces contain
provider/runner events and app outcomes. They do not contain raw model
HTTP requests.

## Risks

- `approve-reads` now allows assigned Paperclip reads. Other operations
that need approval stop the turn. Users must review the operation and
change permissions before retrying.
- The Claude settings depend on the pinned ACP and SDK behavior.
Automated tests and real Claude trials cover this boundary.
- The native Codex path is unchanged. The ACPX Codex fallback shares the
clearer approval failure handling.
- Local execution was tested end to end. Remote execution was not run.
This change has no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The agent used reasoning, code execution,
and browser tools. The exact deployment ID and context-window size were
not exposed in the session. Live acceptance tests used
`claude-sonnet-5`.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
Native runs appeared live after their provider turn ended. Steering was
unavailable while the board still showed an active run. A CPU profile
attributed 93% of sampled time to trace lookup and file reads.

**Expected behavior**
Debug trace correlation must not delay run events or task state by
minutes.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable native provider trace capture for a Codex run.
2. Produce a long event stream with pending correlations.
3. Compare provider event times with persisted run event times.

**Paperclip version**
Reproduced on source build 6dd48cad43.

**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted server with the native Codex runner.

Related event-delivery work: Refs #12208. This fix addresses synchronous
trace lookup rather than disconnect draining. Searches found no
duplicate trace-index fix.

## What Changed

- Add a transport-owned incremental index for native trace frame
correlations.
- Read at most 1 MiB per lookup and retry incomplete prefixes and
partial records.
- Preserve latest-frame and terminal-status ordering. Invalidate
replaced or truncated traces.
- Clear each index on transport close. Keep active indexes independent.
- Skip correlation records over 64 KiB without buffering or parsing
their full contents. Preserve the original trace file.
- Add regression tests for repeated misses, appended records, partial
UTF-8, large traces, replacement, and cleanup.
- Document the trace lookup performance constraint.

## Verification

- Latest revision: 11 index regressions and the existing real-runner
trace correlation test pass (12 tests).
- Includes 24 interleaved active traces, oversized records across
appends, and incomplete later interpretations.
- `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` pass on final head `ddc74e42c`.
- The real-process hard-restart regression passes after rebuilding its
fake-provider binary from the rebased sources.
- The full local test command reports a pre-existing assertion mismatch
in `native-session-resume.test.ts`: the damaged-epoch recovery case
expects the old attach error instead of the new startup-history error.
The same exact failure was reproduced in an isolated checkout of
unchanged base `a20ecce40`. The PR does not change that test or startup
behavior.
- A recorded-trace benchmark reduced 120 lookups from 2.20 seconds to 22
milliseconds.
- The deployed hotfix removed the scan hotspot. The final main-thread
profile was 94% idle. A guarded restart reported no lost runs.
- All GitHub checks pass on `ddc74e42c`, including build, typecheck,
general tests, serialized server tests, end-to-end tests, canary dry
run, and security checks. Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head with no
open threads.
- Two timeout cases from the long local run pass in isolation: exhausted
quota-monitor evidence and native-question expiry. The duplicate full
local run was stopped after the complete CI suite passed.

## Risks

Each active transport retains event-to-frame mappings in memory and
clears them on close. Records over 64 KiB do not enter the correlation
index; the original trace file retains them. Large traces can need
multiple pending retries before a correlation is available. These
records are diagnostic; this change does not alter execution authority,
event acknowledgements, or provider commands.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The runtime does not expose a more specific model
ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, code editing, shell
execution, CPU profiling, and tests.

DottaandPaperclip 2043e0c735 fix: repair runner configuration, macOS execution, and artifact galleries (#13062)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent adapters select a provider, a model, and a runtime.
> - Runner conversion rejected existing Claude agents. The model list
mixed providers.
> - The native Claude runner rejected custom models and could not launch
on macOS.
> - This pull request fixes conversion, model selection, and verified
macOS execution.
> - It also groups configuration fields consistently across adapters and
opens artifact images in the task gallery.
> - Operators can change an agent configuration and run the selected
model on their Mac.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Converting an existing Claude agent to Paperclip Runner failed with a
Codex-only restriction. ACPX Claude showed unrelated models and required
`claude-sonnet-5`. Its native runtime rejected macOS. Configuration
mixed common model settings with process controls. Artifact cards
labeled “Open gallery” navigated to attachment URLs instead of opening
the task gallery.

**Expected behavior**

Conversion keeps agent identity and compatible settings. ACPX Claude
uses the normal Claude catalog and accepts typed model IDs. Codex uses
the native runner. The verified Claude runtime can launch on macOS ARM64
and x64. Common configuration sections place the same fields together
across adapters. Artifact images open in the shared task gallery with
navigation and downloads.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open the configuration of an existing Claude agent.
2. Convert it to Paperclip Runner.
3. Select ACPX Claude and a different catalog model or a typed model ID.
4. Save the agent and run a disposable task on macOS.
5. Inspect configuration and advanced run-policy controls across
adapters.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The bugs were reproduced on `165ca56a22adb60e5fda56045442d9c8498116a8`.
This branch was rebased onto `7ed122911`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Local test-drive instance on macOS ARM64 with an
isolated database.

Related work: #11798 addresses unsupported ACP session options in the
existing adapter path. #13048 addresses working-folder preservation.
This change fixes native runner configuration and launch behavior.

## What Changed

- Remove the Codex-only conversion restriction. Preserve agent identity,
instructions, directories, credentials, and compatible model settings.
Reset incompatible sessions while retaining history.
- Show ACPX Claude and native Codex as distinct provider choices. Remove
ACPX Codex from advertised configuration. Normalize legacy
configurations before fresh runs without rewriting historical run
descriptors.
- Select model catalogs and cache entries by provider. Support refresh
and typed model IDs. Pass exact Claude IDs through session creation,
model changes, and recovery.
- Add verified macOS ARM64 and x64 Claude SDK snapshots. Bound
executable allocation and total snapshot size. Preserve package checks,
dependency isolation, process ownership, cancellation, and Linux
descriptor loading.
- Probe local runtime readiness. Report remote platform checks as
incomplete until the remote runner verifies its runtime.
- Surface actual model rejection and allow correction and retry.
- Repair missing ACPX goal-capability helpers exposed by the post-rebase
live test. Persist and restore the optional capability without breaking
session startup.
- Put Agent identity first and intentionally remove the Capabilities
editor, as requested. This is removal of UI editing, not relocation:
preserve existing capability metadata and API compatibility without
adding another editor. Use the themed select for configurable permission
modes, with normal text instead of monospace.
- Put model and provider under Adapter. Give environment variables their
own section. Fold command and arguments under Configuration. Fold
lifecycle, timeout, and interrupt grace under Advanced Run Policy. Hide
single-option permission controls.

- Open image and video artifact cards in the existing task gallery,
including cards in the artifacts panel. Chat attachment images use the
same gallery. Preserve standalone media previews and download links.

## Verification

- Rebased focused UI/API/database suites: 293 tests passed.
- Rebased native runtime and ACPX suites: 242 passed, 7 skipped.
- Repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed for the runner
changes. Gallery follow-up UI typecheck, build, and token gates also
passed.
- Follow-up UI suites passed (86 tests), packaging checks passed (14
tests), and the final focused runtime suites passed (126 passed, 7
skipped).
- Linux container isolation and lifecycle fixtures passed before rebase
(57 passed, 2 skipped). Rust ACPX provider-session tests passed after
rebase (8 tests).
- Browser tests completed actual Claude and native Codex tasks on macOS
ARM64. They covered conversion, catalog refresh, a non-default catalog
model, a typed `haiku` ID, save/reload, cancel, follow-up session
continuity, invalid-model errors, and recovery.
- Final-revision live tests completed a typed Claude task, a follow-up
with the same provider session, and a native Codex task on macOS ARM64.
- Browser tests confirmed the moved interrupt-grace field saves and
survives reload. Cross-adapter tests cover Claude, Codex, Gemini,
process, gateway, and schema forms.
- Full local run: 7,080 passed, 30 skipped, and two timeouts. Both
timeout suites passed on isolated rerun (84 tests); the failures were
the plugin login-worker exit diagnostic and the runner real-server
vertical slice.
- Final follow-up checks: 50 registry tests and 45 snapshot/installation
tests passed (6 platform-specific skips). Oversized executable rejection
is covered before allocation or reading; unsupported-platform tests
invoke the real installation probe.
- Runner head `ddb5101c483a297f74875ab96b3c66035b002d50`: all CI gates
green, including full runner verification, repository build, typecheck,
general/serialized server suites, browser tests, and canary dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34286178670).
- Greptile: 5/5 on that runner head. All four review threads resolved.
Superagent, Socket, and Snyk checks green.
- After snapshot hardening, another real Claude task completed on this
Mac using the rebuilt runtime.

- Gallery follow-up: 148 focused tests passed, covering artifact
selection, shared attachment collections, deduplication, image/video
cards, standalone previews, downloads, and closing. Live browser
verification completed on the settings follow-up: artifact selection,
6-image pagination with wrapping, download action, and closing all
stayed on the same task URL. All checks passed on gallery head
`96136da58ff195bf6ca00b281eb3022ad12d7bd8`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34287987536).
Greptile returned 5/5 on that exact head with no unresolved threads.

- Final settings polish: 96 focused tests, UI typecheck/build, and token
gates passed. A real browser walkthrough verified readable permission
options, identity placement, Capabilities removal, and permission
save/reload. Original test-agent permission mode restored. All 31 checks
passed on final head `e46540d6bf32bfb0566dca16b2f4a75ba437618c`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34292797886).
Greptile returned 5/5 with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Capabilities intentionally has no editable UI field after this change.
Existing values remain readable and API-compatible; removing the field
does not erase stored metadata.

- macOS launch now copies verified package files into private snapshots.
The implementation must retain isolation and clean up snapshots on exit.
- Runtime provider or model changes reset the current session.
Historical runs remain available.
- The macOS x64 SDK executable digest was verified, but a live Intel Mac
run was not available. Linux verification used container fixtures, not a
real Claude task.
- Remote environment tests report a warning when only the platform has
been checked. They do not claim package readiness from the server host.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact served model identifier and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository inspection, code execution, Rust and TypeScript tests, and
browser automation.

Dotta af8439a70b feat(runner): restore direct live eval campaigns and reports (#12909)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Runner executes agents through native and managed provider
drivers.
> - The direct live eval layer had drifted from the current Runner
contracts.
> - The old local workflow did not provide a complete parallel campaign
or durable report history.
> - The Runner also needed current native OpenCode and OpenRouter
qualification.
> - This pull request restores the direct campaign, corrects the runtime
gaps that the campaign found, and adds safe hosted Evalbook history.
> - The benefit is repeatable model comparison against an immutable
Runner and eval source revision.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11297
Refs #11634

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the direct live `paperclip-runner` eval workflow, provider
execution contract, and static Evalbook reporting path.

**Current behavior**

The direct evals do not have one maintained full campaign on current
`master`. OpenCode has no qualified multi-model OpenRouter roster.
Parallel provider bursts can compact committed events before the
transport observes them. Local reports do not have a separate safe S3
history index.

**Proposed behavior**

Run one immutable roster-plus-case matrix. Use the shared paid AWS
runner fleet. Keep raw artifacts access-controlled. Publish a sanitized
canonical Evalbook report under the separate `runner-protocol-evals` S3
prefix. Keep immutable campaign directories plus root history, latest,
and latest-green pointers.

**Reason and benefit**

Maintainers can compare native Codex, native OpenCode, ACPX, Claude
Managed, and AWS AgentCore behavior over time. They can inspect failures
without mixing this direct protocol layer with browser full-stack E2E.

**Breaking changes**

None. The new workflow and S3 prefix are additive. The existing Runner
full-stack E2E workflow and report remain separate.

## What Changed

- Added a trusted two-shard direct live workflow for up to 393
roster-plus-case cells.
- Reused the numeric actor allowlist, protected paid environment, and
RunsOn fleet controls from Runner full-stack E2E.
- Added immutable Runner and eval revision resolution, exact credential
boundaries, bounded retries, and cost ceilings.
- Added a public report projection that removes sessions, transcripts,
tool payloads, state, traces, raw failures, remote profile identities,
and credential-shaped values.
- Added additive S3 history under `runner-protocol-evals`, with
immutable campaigns and mutable root index pointers.
- Added native OpenCode model injection and current OpenRouter pricing
contracts.
- Fixed direct eval completion, workflow execution, semantic discovery,
warm-attach state reset, executable binding, and event-burst handling.
- Kept Runner browser full-stack E2E behavior and publication separate.
- Documented local and hosted direct eval operation.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
test:runner-protocol-eval-publish` — 15 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner build:typescript` —
passed.
- `actionlint .github/workflows/runner-protocol-live-evals.yml
.github/workflows/runner-full-stack-e2e.yml` — passed.
- Local current matrix at the revision in
[paperclip-evals#17](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/17)
— 323 cells across 10 enabled configurations completed.
- Final local current matrix — 269 passed, 11 behavior failures, and 43
expected macOS-only ACPX platform failures.
- Targeted Runner checks — 13/13 eval-session tests, 15/15
publisher/security tests, and package typecheck passed; complete PR CI
is green, including all browser E2E shards.

## Risks

- Paid live campaigns can consume provider budget. Actor authorization,
exact per-cell ceilings, protected environments, and explicit schedule
enablement bound this risk.
- Public reports can leak provider data. The workflow publishes only a
separately projected report and validates every file before upload.
- The new workflow cannot publish until it is present on the default
branch. This pull request does not change the existing
`runner-full-stack-e2e` publication path.
- The campaign is large. It uses two GitHub matrices and caps combined
concurrency at the shared fleet limit.

Dotta 5716fe907e test(runner): add full-stack acceptance and eval gates (#12700)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner subsystem executes agent work across local and managed
provider backends.
> - The lower pull requests restore the task runtime, provider backends,
and managed-provider control plane.
> - The restored system needs repeatable full-stack checks before it can
ship safely.
> - Paid live checks also need clear access, cost, and secret controls.
> - This pull request adds acceptance, live evaluation, chaos, and
release gates for the restored runner stack.
> - The benefit is measurable runner parity with safer release
decisions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change covers runner tests, release workflows,
server contracts, and evaluation tools.

**Problem or motivation**

The runner stack did not have one complete acceptance surface for native
Codex, ACPX, Claude Managed, and AWS AgentCore. Release checks could
miss provider drift, task-view regressions, cost-policy errors, and
destructive cleanup errors.

**Proposed solution**

Add a 57-cell full-stack catalog, a Daytona image, and opt-in paid
workflows. Add live evaluation, chaos, cost-limit, redaction, and
release contract checks. Add AWS AgentCore infrastructure and guarded
provisioning tools. Keep the native runner experimental flag off by
default.

**Alternatives considered**

We considered manual smoke tests only. They do not give repeatable
evidence and they do not protect release branches. We also considered
one large pull request. The stacked pull requests keep each review below
the Greptile file limit.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped Cloud / Sandbox agents milestone and the
shipped Agent evals & feedback milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.

Related stack:

- #12699 adds managed provider backends and lifecycle support.
- #12691 adds qualified OpenCode and ACPX provider backends.
- #12685 restores task runtime rendering and steering.

## What Changed

- Add the runner full-stack harness with 57 catalog cells and 60 unit
tests.
- Add a Daytona runner image with digest-pinned base images and
base-aware image-content checks.
- Add guarded live evaluation and chaos workflows with a fixed
40-execution matrix; live and full-stack paid schedules now run only on
Sundays or by manual dispatch.
- Add in-flight reported-usage cost stops, post-turn cost caps,
exact-threshold failure classification, secret redaction, retry
classification, and actor authorization.
- Reattach stream and hard-budget listeners before restart-recovery
continuations so restored paid sessions cannot bypass in-flight
interruption.
- Preserve OpenCode usage and cost across tool-loop messages and turns
while exposing an explicit current-run delta to durable accounting.
- Keep PNG/WebM evidence in access-controlled artifacts only, reject
SVG, and publish only pruned inert structured per-attempt evidence.
- Add AWS AgentCore infrastructure, provisioning checks, and smoke
tools; reject unsafe model identifiers, require exact stack ownership
markers, and make failed-stack replacement explicit.
- Add evaluation-session contracts and capability reports.
- Add release workflow checks for immutable action pins, frozen
dependency installs, exact weekly cron shape, paid-run guards,
provider-secret isolation, and chaos test paths.
- Reauthorize the original and triggering numeric actor IDs as the first
step of every provider-secret job, including partial reruns, before
checkout or provider access.
- Give each full-stack matrix cell only its matching provider
credential, expose Daytona only to Daytona cells, and disable shared
dependency caches anywhere paid credentials or OIDC write access are
present.
- Protect the legacy manual E2E workflow with the same default-branch,
allowlist, environment, and per-job authorization boundary.
- Rotate live-eval candidates by week and retain 120 days of compatible
history so the seven-week trend window remains viable.
- Restore the root runner-acceptance commands and reconcile reported
snapshots,
raw receipts, and terminal usage without double counting or losing late
usage.
- Mark ACPX token deltas exact only when every budget field is present,
keep
cumulative cost/request authority separate, reject non-USD cost
labeling,
  and include thought tokens in output-token budgets.
- Keep `enableNativeRunner` off by default. The acceptance harness
enables it only in its isolated test instance.

## Verification

Passed locally:

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner typecheck`
- `pnpm test:runner-acceptance:typecheck`
- `pnpm test:runner-acceptance` (19 tests)
- focused OpenCode proxy, driver, runnerd transport, live-session, and
turn-stream tests (106 tests)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/live/clean-room-server.test.ts` (22 tests)
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` (62 tests)
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/release-verify-workflow.test.mjs`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
test:runner-workflow-evals` (22 tests)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `node --test
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/aws-agentcore-provisioning.test.mjs`
(6 tests)
- `git diff --check`
- `cargo test --manifest-path
packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.toml -p paperclip-runner-core
--lib --locked` (161 tests)
- focused ACPX provider-event tests (10 tests)
- The rebased PR changes 92 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged.

I did not run paid live provider jobs or provision AWS resources. Those
checks need credentials and can create cost.

## Risks

The paid workflows can create provider cost. They require an allowlisted
original and triggering actor, the protected `runner-e2e-paid`
environment, explicit opt-in variables, and cost limits. The four
provider credentials exist only in that master-only environment, which
requires allowlisted reviewer approval and disables administrator
bypass; repository and organization Actions scopes contain no copies.

Provider usage arrives after a billable request, so the live guard
cannot prevent one request from crossing a threshold. It interrupts
immediately on the first reported threshold hit and permits no
continuation.

Visual evidence can contain secrets rendered as pixels. PNG/WebM remain
only in access-controlled workflow artifacts; SVG and per-attempt XML
are excluded, and S3/Pages receive a pruned structured dashboard.

The AWS scripts can create cloud resources. They use explicit commands,
least-privilege roles, KMS encryption, saved nonsecret metadata, and
explicit teardown.

This pull request does not enable the experimental native runner for
existing instances.

Dotta fdf8c8464d feat(runner): add managed provider backends (#12699)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner provides durable, provider-neutral agent
execution.
> - The current stack supports qualified local providers but omits the
managed provider paths from the integration branch.
> - Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore need explicit profile
qualification, durable recovery, usage accounting, and cleanup controls.
> - This pull request adds those managed backends as the third part of
the Runner parity stack.
> - The benefit is managed execution without weakening the default-off
Runner rollout gate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: Runner, server orchestration, database profiles, CLI, and
adapter configuration UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The current Runner stack cannot select or execute the managed Claude
Agents API or AWS Bedrock AgentCore Harness backends. It also lacks
qualified profile storage and recovery checks for those remote
resources.

**Proposed solution**

Add qualified managed and remote profiles, API and CLI management, exact
provider selection, durable lifecycle handling, cumulative usage
accounting, bounded cleanup, and retention acknowledgement. Keep
`enableNativeRunner` default-off.

**Alternatives considered**

A direct copy of the old integration branch was rejected because its
provider contracts, model values, credential flow, and migration history
no longer match the current base. A single large parity pull request was
also rejected because stacked review keeps each subsystem bounded.

**Roadmap alignment**

This continues the existing Runner architecture and rollout work. It
does not introduce a separate execution system.

**Additional context**

This pull request is based on the merged #12691 and #12685 stack. It
also closes the delayed security-review findings reported on #12691 by
binding qualified ACPX and OpenCode launch artifacts to the bytes
actually executed. A GitHub search for managed agent, AgentCore, and
Claude managed work found no duplicate public issue or pull request.

## What Changed

- Add Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore provider executors to
runnerd.
- Add qualified managed and remote profile storage, routes, OpenAPI
contracts, CLI commands, and migration 0237.
- Validate profile ownership, enabled state, exact qualified revision,
model, agent version, and secret binding before persistence and
recovery.
- Persist durable provider session and owned skill state for
restart-safe cleanup.
- Reconcile uncertain create responses and delete remote sessions before
owned skills.
- Track cumulative provider usage and enforce positive session spend
caps.
- Recover interrupted AgentCore usage at the next turn boundary by
charging the prior invocation ceiling exactly once; keep the session
gated until an explicit monotonic budget raise.
- Isolate AgentCore AWS configuration from host profiles and
credential-process/SSO configuration while preserving workload identity.
- Require OpenCode 1.18.17 and fixed build-owned provider-pack artifact
paths; remove the ambient executable override.
- Snapshot and content-verify ACPX and OpenCode commands, scripts, and
provider executables before launch. Linux executes sealed inherited
descriptors; macOS uses authenticated private snapshots with retry-safe
rematerialization at the spawn boundary.
- Persist canonical ACPX and OpenCode launch-profile digests, reject
drift across fresh recovery, and make recovery failures sticky.
- Close and journal unsafe ACPX active-turn recovery before any provider
bootstrap or reconnect.
- Add managed provider fields to the Runner configuration UI and
permission projection.
- Preserve the default-off `enableNativeRunner` experimental flag.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Focused managed server, database, CLI, Runner TypeScript, Rust,
Claude, AgentCore, ACPX, OpenCode, process-supervisor, and
durable-recovery tests passed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib --locked` (160 tests)
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets --locked`
- Native Codex integration tests passed (60 tests); native provider
tests passed (7 tests); server native-runtime tests passed (87 tests).
- Verified-launch replacement, nested-spawn retry, exact-version,
profile-drift, sticky-failure, and no-bootstrap active-recovery tests
passed.
- `git diff --check`
- The PR changes 91 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged. The Rust
workspace lockfile adds the approved `rustix` dependency used for safe
descriptor handling while `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` remains enabled.

## Risks

- The provider APIs can change while they are in beta. Exact
qualification and fail-closed recovery checks limit drift.
- Remote cleanup can fail after a partial create. Durable ownership
inventories and retry-safe deletion preserve recovery state.
- Migration 0237 adds profile tables. The generated migration and
snapshot pass the repository migration checks.
- Managed execution can incur provider cost. Positive default spend caps
and explicit retention acknowledgement limit accidental use.
- An interrupted AgentCore invocation without final metadata is
conservatively charged to its active session ceiling. This can overstate
cost, but cannot undercount it; later work requires an explicit budget
increase.
- Linux qualified launches use sealed memory descriptors. macOS lacks
executable-descriptor APIs, so the runner uses owner-only private
snapshots and minimizes linked-path lifetime; hostile same-UID processes
remain outside the documented local-host trust boundary.
- The global Runner feature remains default-off.

Dotta 5458940a6e feat(runner): add offline evaluation tooling (#12653)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner needs repeatable evaluation contracts.
> - Evaluation code must stay separate from provider launch and
production orchestration.
> - Offline fixtures need stable compatibility, scoring, traceability,
and report rules.
> - Published Runner consumers need only the supported evaluation
contract surface.
> - This pull request adds offline evaluation tooling and a
workspace-private matrix kernel.
> - The benefit is deterministic evaluation without credentials or paid
provider calls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11297

This pull request extracts the offline evaluation unit from the earlier
aggregate Runner work.

## What Changed

- Add a workspace-private, provider-neutral evaluation matrix kernel.
- Add the public `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner/evals` compatibility and
native execution contracts.
- Add fail-closed runnerd artifact and protocol compatibility checks.
- Add deterministic workflow catalogs, scoring, traceability, and report
generation.
- Add sanitized Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX fixtures.
- Add package-boundary and clean-consumer checks.
- Add the eval package manifest to the Docker dependency stage.
- Add the generated protocol fixture digest without changing the
lockfile.

## Verification

GitHub Actions must run:

- Runner TypeScript and Rust type checks.
- Runner unit and protocol tests.
- Evaluation kernel tests.
- Workflow traceability checks.
- Clean-consumer and package-boundary checks.
- Repository test, type-check, build, policy, and security gates.

No local test command was run. The repository owner requested
GitHub-only verification.

## Risks

This is a large greenfield review surface with 51 files. The code does
not launch a live provider or load credentials. Package and protocol
drift fail closed. The workspace lockfile remains under the existing
CI-owned process.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with the GPT-5 agent model. The work used high reasoning,
repository inspection, tool use, and parallel code review.

Dotta 560e7e48b5 feat(runner): add SDK and developer tooling (#12608)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner package already provides the production protocol and
execution spine.
> - Contributors still need stable SDK surfaces, deterministic test
tools, and local inspection tools.
> - Those surfaces share generated contracts and must change as one
package boundary.
> - This pull request adds the package-local SDK, labs, examples, and
drift checks.
> - The benefit is a reviewable developer platform that does not change
application execution selection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

`packages/paperclip-runner` — runner SDK, conformance tools, and
developer tooling.

**Problem or motivation**

The production runner spine is present, but package consumers cannot
build deterministic integrations, inspect sessions, or verify
provider-neutral behavior through supported surfaces.

**Proposed solution**

Add browser, React, standalone, live-session, scenario, conformance, and
evaluation surfaces. Add generated contract inventories and
package-local verification scripts. Keep production application routing
unchanged.

**Alternatives considered**

We considered splitting each generated catalog, SDK surface, and demo
into separate pull requests. Those changes share exports, fixtures, and
drift gates. Splitting them would create intermediate package states
that do not build.

**Roadmap alignment**

No overlapping item appears in `ROADMAP.md`. This work extends the
runner package that is already on `master`.

## What Changed

- Add browser, React, standalone, live-session, and issue-thread SDK
surfaces.
- Add deterministic mock control-plane, scenario, conformance, replay,
and evaluation tools.
- Add bounded Codex, OpenCode, and ACPX development transports and
fixtures.
- Keep deferred managed-provider execution fail-closed. Persisted
compatibility data remains readable.
- Add generated capability inventories with their source files and drift
checks.
- Add examples, package documentation, browser checks, and
clean-consumer checks.
- Preserve the reviewed protocol bounds, replay compatibility aliases,
process environment isolation, and semantic redaction limits.
- Update the ACPX package patch that the existing workspace patch
registry already tracks.
- Do not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, repository workflows, server runtime
selection, or the application UI.

## Verification

GitHub Actions is the verification authority for this pull request. The
repository CI, package TypeScript and Rust checks, package tests,
generated-output drift checks, browser checks, security scans, and
Greptile review must pass on the exact head.

Local test suites were not run because this series uses parallel GitHub
Actions for verification.

## Risks

This is a large greenfield package change. The main risks are public
export drift, generated-output drift, and optional React consumer
compatibility. Package boundary checks, clean-consumer checks, and
browser tests cover those risks. Production adapter selection and server
execution are outside this pull request.

## Stack

1. **This PR:** runner SDK and developer tooling.
2. [Codex production server
integration](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12616).
3. [Provider-neutral task-thread
UI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12617).

Dotta ad0ad43cf4 feat(runner): activate qualified Claude ACPX runtime (#12590)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip Runner already has a hardened ACPX path for Codex.
> - Claude can reuse that protocol only with an exact package/model
profile and provider-lifetime fencing.
> - Pi needs a separately spawned runtime whose executable does not yet
have the descriptor-confined verified launch used by the ACP server.
> - This pull request therefore activates Claude only and keeps Pi
unavailable before installation or process launch.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Paperclip Runner ACPX driver, runtime host, sidecar, backend factory,
package dependency, and provider conformance tests.

**Problem or motivation**

The production ACPX backend was Codex-only. Claude needs the same
fail-closed model, authorization, cancellation, cleanup, and recovery
boundaries without exposing an unsafe secondary runtime path.

**Proposed solution**

Generalize the hardened ACPX runtime for the exact qualified `claude`
profile, add the pinned Claude ACP package and reviewed isolation patch,
and reject Pi before installation, backend construction, sidecar
initialization, Rust session admission, or process creation.

**Alternatives considered**

Activating Pi in this PR was rejected after security review because its
secondary runtime executable was pathname-based and lacked the verified
descriptor/snapshot boundary. Pi is deferred to a dedicated follow-up.
Replaying the older generic ACPX implementation was rejected because it
predates current hardening.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md does not list a conflicting ACPX-provider project. This
extends the existing Runner provider architecture.

## What Changed

- Generalized the ACPX backend, driver, runtime adapter, host, and
sidecar for the qualified Claude profile.
- Added Claude ACPX activation through its exact pinned package/model
pair and isolated-settings patch.
- Added provider-lifetime fencing for non-Codex qualified ACPX sessions.
- Kept Pi dependencies and its patch out of the package and build
configuration.
- Added fail-closed Pi rejection at driver validation, backend
construction, runtime-host admission, sidecar initialization, and Rust
session validation.
- Added focused tests for Claude selection, model enforcement, lifecycle
fencing, cancellation, recovery, and Pi rejection.
- Did not change or commit `pnpm-lock.yaml`; CI regenerates the PR
lockfile under the existing repository policy.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions is the authoritative verification environment for this
PR.
- CI runs dependency policy, runner package checks, protocol parity,
typecheck, build, security, and stack policy.
- Local tests were not run because this checkout is resource
constrained, per the requested workflow.

## Risks

- Claude package behavior can drift from the qualified protocol; the
package and patch are pinned and admission verifies the exact profile.
- Unsupported providers and models fail closed.
- Pi remains unavailable until descriptor-confined verified launch
exists for its separate runtime.
- Existing Codex ACPX behavior remains covered by shared conformance
tests.

Dotta 2e5a24e177 feat(runner): add qualified OpenCode runtime (#12588)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner provides a durable execution boundary for supported
providers.
> - The current production runtime supports Codex but cannot execute
OpenCode sessions.
> - OpenCode needs a qualified transport, strict input mapping, and
normalized events.
> - This pull request adds the OpenCode runtime as one isolated provider
unit.
> - The benefit is a reviewable provider expansion that does not weaken
the existing Codex path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: packages/paperclip-runner and the Codex-local adapter
configuration contract.

**Problem or motivation**

Paperclip Runner has provider-neutral contracts, but the production
backend factory cannot start a qualified OpenCode session. This blocks
OpenCode from using the durable runner path.

**Proposed solution**

Add the qualified OpenCode app-server proxy, driver, MCP bridge,
backend, fixtures, and factory wiring. Keep existing Codex behavior
unchanged.

**Alternatives considered**

Keeping OpenCode only on the direct adapter path would avoid this
runtime work, but it would not provide durable runner recovery or
normalized provider events.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md does not list a conflicting provider-runtime project. This
change extends the existing Paperclip Runner architecture.

## What Changed

- Added the qualified OpenCode app-server proxy and input queue.
- Added collaboration-mode and provider-event normalization.
- Added the OpenCode MCP bridge and native session backend.
- Added strict fixtures and focused unit coverage.
- Added only the package exports and adapter configuration required by
this runtime.
- Kept deferred SDK, lab, eval, and public package surfaces out of this
change.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions is the authoritative verification environment for this
PR.
- Run the package type checks and focused OpenCode tests in CI.
- Run repository typecheck, test, build, security, and policy gates
through the stack-aware workflow.
- Local tests were not run because this checkout is resource
constrained.

## Risks

- OpenCode protocol changes could affect event normalization or
recovery.
- The driver fails closed on malformed input and unsupported runtime
behavior.
- Existing Codex selection remains unchanged unless the stored provider
is OpenCode.

Dotta 8478ddbcee feat(runner): persist ACPX suspension checkpoints (#12425)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust ACPX session can now suspend only at a safe idle boundary
and its events have a durable projection
> - A later runner process cannot safely resume from an unbound or
partially written identity record
> - The recovery anchor must bind the exact provider identity, run,
normalized session, catalog revision, and catalog digest
> - The record must be bounded, private, strict about schema drift, and
atomically replaceable
> - Recovery must re-admit the entire prospective session configuration
before releasing the stored identity
> - This pull request adds only that package-local checkpoint store
without selecting ACPX in runnerd

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12424

Refs #12422

## What Changed

- Add a versioned ACPX safe-suspension checkpoint contract with unknown
fields rejected at every persisted level.
- Bind each checkpoint to the run, normalized session, catalog revision,
catalog digest, and exact provider identity.
- Persist a checkpoint-specific strict identity that requires the pinned
permission mode without narrowing the additive live sidecar identity
wire shape.
- Construct checkpoints only from a session configuration whose model,
permission policy, tool catalog, and expected identity validate.
- Admit recovery only when reconstructing the checkpoint from the
prospective configuration produces an exact match.
- Reject run, session, catalog revision, catalog digest, model,
permission, expected-identity, profile, and workspace drift fail closed.
- Require persisted run/session IDs to satisfy the same stable-ID
boundary as fresh session admission.
- Store the checkpoint under a dedicated private runner-state
subdirectory.
- Bound checkpoint files to 1 MiB before reading or decoding.
- Refuse symlinked state directories and non-private or non-regular
checkpoint files.
- Replace checkpoints atomically through a private temporary file and
directory sync.
- Make repeated saves of the same checkpoint idempotent.
- Add integration coverage for private round trips, complete recovery
admission, malformed/oversized files, nested schema drift, missing
permission binding, invalid stable IDs, and symlink denial.
- Document the package-local suspension recovery boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `1ee738cf487defe88043b241c4e2dc34a1a8a7bc` (`master`
after #12424 merged).
- Exact replay head: `89cfea5495428be890810d2b8a27673943234ca3`.
- Stable patch ID: `dbaeb0bbe773f1ca5ef1f9bdc0fa61f4a08ca451`.
- The exact delta is 4 files and 591 additions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, dependency, or migration change.
- `git diff --check` and the Cargo formatting check pass on the replayed
delta.
- Exact-head GitHub Actions run `33374006661` (attempt 2): **PASSED**
with 23/23 jobs passed.
- Greptile reviewed exact head
`89cfea5495428be890810d2b8a27673943234ca3`: **5/5**, with zero
unresolved review threads.
- Superagent, contributor trust, Socket, and Snyk security checks:
**PASSED**.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- A checkpoint is valid only after the sidecar has confirmed safe
suspension. The constructor therefore accepts the exact identity
returned by that operation and revalidates it against local authority.
- Loading proves only that the file is structurally valid;
`admit_recovery` is the boundary that proves the file belongs to the
prospective run, catalog, model, permission policy, and expected
provider identity.
- The checkpoint intentionally contains no credentials, bootstrap
ticket, provider output, or pending request payload.
- Strict checkpoint schema and identity validation rejects incompatible
or tampered recovery records rather than attempting partial migration.
This strictness is checkpoint-local and does not narrow existing PRP or
sidecar wire compatibility.
- Atomic replacement uses the platform `rename` primitive; Unix
additionally syncs the private parent directory before reporting
success.
- No production path loads this checkpoint in this pull request. Runnerd
execution and durable recovery wiring remain a later slice.

Dotta 1ee738cf48 feat(runner): project durable ACPX events (#12424)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now owns validated, scoped ACPX reducer events and
safe session suspension
> - Durable PRP transport must receive provider-neutral events rather
than sidecar-native envelopes
> - Semantic calls and questions must retain the exact run, session,
turn, item, and provider-request authority used by the durable command
stream
> - Terminal, result, assistant, process, and diagnostic events also
need one reviewed projection boundary
> - Permission requests remain impossible under the pinned Codex policy
and must fail closed if they reach projection
> - This pull request adds only that package-local projection without
selecting ACPX in runnerd

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12422

## What Changed

- Add a validated durable ACPX event projection context bound to one
run, normalized session, turn, and item.
- Pass already normalized activity events through without reintroducing
provider-native envelopes.
- Project authorized tool calls into canonical semantic input receipts
with exact correlation and content digests.
- Project structured questions into provider-neutral
`paperclip.runtime_request.v2` events.
- Preserve both the public projected request identity and the original
provider request identity so responses resolve the exact sidecar
request.
- Project dynamic semantic operation results as `semantic_tool.result`;
only reserved finish/block operations may propose the run result.
- Project semantic completion results into `run.result.proposed`.
- Project terminal-flushed assistant messages on the final channel and
turn terminal states into existing provider-neutral event families.
- Project sanitized process metadata and diagnostics into bounded
harness diagnostics.
- Validate runtime-request origins against their strict durable shape
and fall back from empty optional titles to a valid question prompt.
- Reject invalid identities, projected-identity collisions, unstable
semantic receipt identities, permission requests, and cross-turn
projection fail closed.
- Add integration coverage across reducer event families, correlation,
identity validation, projected question resolution, and pinned-policy
denial.
- Document the durable projection boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

must preserve the existing scope-first decode and reduction order.
- Semantic input includes the already sanitized provider input while its
content receipt uses the same canonical digest.
- Structured input preserves the validated provider-neutral question set
and sanitized origin.
- Noncanonical provider request identities are deterministically
projected for PRP while the original identity remains authoritative for
the sidecar resolution command.
- Existing PRP v1 identifiers remain schema-compatible; the only public
ID-schema change widens turn/item limits from 160 to 240 characters. The
internal ACPX sidecar wire schema now mirrors the stable IDs its Rust
transport already enforced.
- The projector verifies event-carried terminal and assistant turn
identifiers against the durable context.
- No production path invokes this projector in this pull request.
Durable command execution remains the next slice.

Dotta 80639f4f69 feat(runner): suspend safe ACPX sessions (#12422)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now owns exact ACPX request resolution and
fail-closed session state
> - A recoverable provider session needs an explicit suspension boundary
before runnerd can safely hand work across process lifetimes
> - Suspension is unsafe while a turn or provider request is active
because remote effects may still be in flight
> - A successful acknowledgement must preserve the exact immutable
session identity
> - This pull request adds only that guarded package-local lifecycle
operation without selecting ACPX in runnerd
> - The benefit is a small recovery primitive whose safety rules are
independently reviewable

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12421

## What Changed

- Add a provider-state query for active pending tool, input, or
permission requests.
- Permit session suspension only when no turn or provider request is
active.
- Send a bounded `session.suspend` command with an operator-safe reason.
- Require an affirmative suspension acknowledgement and the exact
existing session identity.
- Treat transport failure, rejection, omitted or malformed identity, and
identity drift as fail-closed terminal errors.
- Mark a successfully suspended session closed and terminate the local
sidecar process while retaining cleanup ownership if termination must be
retried.
- Preserve a valid session after purely local unsafe-state rejection so
it can settle before retry.
- Extend the fake sidecar with deterministic suspension success,
acknowledgement mismatch, identity mismatch, and missing-identity modes.
- Add integration coverage for safe suspension, active-turn rejection,
fail-closed remote mismatches, and retained cleanup.
- Document the package-local suspension boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `91d861ff69d415a3b105ae2eaad9cc56c66a9231` (`master`
after #12421 merged).
- Exact replay head: `085667e10c51c6c0360732f63c8fef83e806dd88`.
- Stable patch ID: `b18d6b7efd1de569d3068b0a782f8aac2fbc9322`; this is
the prepared suspension delta plus the focused fake-sidecar fix that
consolidates mismatch modes into the existing command arm.
- The exact delta is 5 files, 136 additions, and 5 deletions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Exact-head GitHub Actions run `33369571343` (attempt 1): **PASSED**
with 23 jobs passed and zero failures.
- Greptile reviewed exact head
`085667e10c51c6c0360732f63c8fef83e806dd88`: **5/5**, with zero
unresolved review threads.
- Superagent, contributor trust, Socket, and Snyk security checks:
**PASSED**.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- The sidecar may apply suspension before a transport failure is
observed. The local session closes rather than retrying an ambiguous
effect.
- Local active-work rejection happens before transport and leaves the
valid session open so the caller can settle it safely.
- Identity equality is checked across provider, driver, session, thread,
run, and company fields before accepting suspension.
- No production path invokes suspension in this pull request. Runnerd
execution and durable recovery wiring remain later slices.

Dotta 91d861ff69 feat(runner): resolve ACPX provider requests (#12421)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now owns a scoped ACPX turn and validates provider
requests before exposing them
> - A live turn can pause for semantic tool results or structured input
> - Local state and the sidecar can diverge if the runner clears a
request before the sidecar accepts its resolution
> - A mismatched or ambiguous remote acknowledgement must close the
session, while a local validation error must preserve the request for a
safe retry
> - This pull request adds those two-phase resolution paths and rejects
Codex permission events that bypass the pinned policy without selecting
ACPX in runnerd
> - The benefit is an atomic request boundary that can be wired into
durable execution in a later slice

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12420

Refs #12419

## What Changed

- Resolve authorized semantic tool calls only for the active turn and
exact pending operation.
- Validate semantic results against the authorized response schema
before transport.
- Send a bounded generic provider error when a semantic operation fails
without exposing internal error text or payloads.
- Resolve structured input only after validating the exact persisted
question set.
- Support explicit submit, decline, and cancel input outcomes.
- Reject any Codex permission event that bypasses the pinned sidecar
policy.
- Build candidate provider and authorization state before each request.
- Commit candidate state only after the sidecar returns an affirmative
resolution acknowledgement.
- Preserve pending work after local validation errors so the caller can
retry safely.
- Terminate the session after transport failure or an invalid remote
acknowledgement because the remote effect is ambiguous.
- Bind every resolution to the exact active turn and request or call
identity.
- Extend the fake sidecar and add integration coverage for successful
commits, safe local retries, pinned-policy enforcement, redaction, and
fail-closed acknowledgement mismatch.
- Document the package-local resolution boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `3aa2065d084d6a29492aaa15e822b5d17c3a4266` (`master`
after #12420 merged).
- Exact replay head: `9507024f70c6f434c2c322385d3a9e240250b03c`.
- Stable patch ID: `a4f27d2fae606596f70b5b1c2b29dd7f250541d8`, identical
to the prepared two-commit delta.
- The exact delta is 5 files, 463 additions, and 7 deletions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- GitHub Actions run `33368135190`, attempt 2: **PASSED** on the exact
replay head (23/23 jobs passed; a failed-job-only retry cleared one
unrelated server test environment failure where `npm` was unavailable).
- Greptile: **5/5** on the exact replay head with zero unresolved review
threads; Superagent, Socket, Snyk, and contributor-trust checks also
passed.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- A transport failure can happen after the sidecar applied a resolution.
The session closes instead of retrying an ambiguous effect.
- Local validation happens before transport and preserves pending state,
so a corrected answer or result can be retried.
- The sidecar transport already correlates each command response to its
request identifier. This slice also requires `resolved: true` before
local commit.
- The initial Codex sidecar owns its pinned permission policy and does
not delegate permission resolution. Any permission event therefore
terminates the session fail closed.
- No production path invokes these methods in this pull request. Durable
ACPX execution wiring remains a later slice.

Dotta 3aa2065d08 feat(runner): validate structured question responses (#12420)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now owns a bounded ACPX session and a fail-closed
turn lifecycle
> - Provider questions pause a turn and must return structured answers
to the same persisted question set
> - JSON Schema validates the wire shape, but it cannot validate
identifiers and constraints across two documents
> - Unknown questions, invalid choices, and malformed custom answers
must fail before any provider receives them
> - This pull request adds only the package-local response validator and
tests
> - The benefit is a small trust boundary that later request-resolution
code can use without changing production selection

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12419

## What Changed

- Validate `paperclip.question_response.v1` against its versioned JSON
Schema.
- Bound serialized responses to 768 KiB before validation.
- Require answer identifiers to match the exact persisted question set.
- Require answers for required questions and reject unknown question
identifiers.
- Enforce text, single-select, and multi-select answer modes.
- Match the existing TypeScript numeric syntax, including decimal,
exponent, hexadecimal, octal, and binary input.
- Match ECMAScript trimming exactly, including BOM whitespace while
rejecting Unicode NEL rather than inheriting Rust-specific whitespace
behavior.
- Enforce known options, custom-answer policy, text length, pattern, and
numeric constraints.
- Validate duplicate option IDs, inverted bounds, and dynamic patterns
before answer lookup so malformed optional questions fail closed even
when unanswered.
- Match JavaScript UTF-16 code-unit length semantics for text
constraints and the 100,000-unit response-field bound.
- Preserve the public optional `recommended` question-option field in
the versioned schema, generated schema bundle, and Rust validation path.
- Return typed validation errors for malformed inputs without panics.
- Export the validator from the Rust runner core.
- Add table-driven tests for valid, mismatched, malformed, oversized,
and numeric-boundary responses.
- Document the package-local structured-response boundary.
- Add `num-bigint` 0.4 and `num-traits` 0.2 as direct runner-core
dependencies for exact arbitrary-length radix parsing and one-step
JavaScript Number rounding; update only the package-local runner Cargo
lockfile.
- Do not change the repository PNPM lockfile, workflows, runnerd
selection, server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `9a9fdf06ee4142f77427db30efccc4c43056f64b` (`master`
after #12419 merged).
- Exact replay head: `fad92b3fb348b66ddb10dde44b7b060e55c4fe96`.
- Stable patch ID: `4d6ffbd519dd081f7ea530977cd965bd4569fc75`; this is
the prepared two-commit delta plus the focused cross-language parity fix
found during replay review.
- The exact delta is 10 files, 712 additions, and 2 deletions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`.
- The package-local `packages/paperclip-runner/runner/Cargo.lock`
records the two direct runner-core dependencies; their already-resolved
versions and checksums are unchanged.
- The question-set schema source, generated TypeScript schema bundle,
and protocol manifest hash are updated together; the schema SHA-256 is
`42b5441a3d388851dacb6e4500dfd4a17d878eded2e724228078b647e7440d3f`.
- GitHub Actions run `33366812025`, attempt 2: **PASSED** on the exact
replay head (23/23 jobs passed; a failed-job-only retry cleared one
unrelated ACPX runtime-host timeout).
- Greptile: **5/5** on the exact replay head with zero unresolved review
threads; Superagent, Socket, Snyk, and contributor-trust checks also
passed.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- The validator compiles the embedded response schema for each
submission. Responses are user-paced and bounded, so this keeps the
slice simple without affecting a hot event path.
- The persisted question set is the source of truth for identifiers and
constraints. A malformed persisted set fails closed.
- Numeric input follows the existing structured-question contract,
including JavaScript-prefixed syntax. Optional whitespace-only answers
are rejected instead of being treated as an omitted value.
- Error messages identify the invalid field but do not include answer
text.
- No production path invokes this validator in this pull request.
Request resolution remains the next slice.

Dotta 9a9fdf06ee feat(runner): drive ACPX provider turns (#12419)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now validates and opens an exact Codex ACPX session
and attaches one run/catalog identity
> - A live session must start one turn, preserve immutable workspace
authority, accept interruption, and consume provider events
> - Command acknowledgements and event scope are trust boundaries;
disagreement must terminate the session rather than permit divergent
state
> - The existing reducer already owns bounded state, ordering,
correlation, and terminal cleanup
> - This pull request connects turn commands and polling only to that
reviewed reducer without selecting ACPX in runnerd
> - The benefit is a fail-closed execution loop before semantic request
resolution and production selection are added

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12418

Refs #12417

## What Changed

- Start one ACPX turn only after validating a bounded turn identifier,
bounded message, and the session's immutable working directory.
- Require `turn.start` to acknowledge the exact requested turn before
mutating provider state.
- Request interruption only for the active turn and require an
affirmative cancellation acknowledgement.
- Keep the turn active until the authoritative terminal event is polled
and reduced.
- Poll bounded sidecar events and route every event through the existing
scope-first payload/state boundary.
- Terminate the sidecar fail closed after a rejected or mismatched turn
command, transport failure, or invalid scoped event.
- Preserve ordinary local validation failures without mutating or
closing an otherwise valid session.
- Admit semantic tool calls through the run-scoped authorized tool
bridge before returning them to runnerd.
- Reduce events and authorize tool calls on candidate clones, then
commit both together only after every check passes.
- Rotate and scope tool receipts by run and turn; reserve pending,
completed, and settled call IDs across both tool bridges so cross-bridge
duplicates cannot be re-admitted.
- Preserve exact turn correlation through payload, scope, provider
state, fake sidecar, and integration fixtures.
- Extend the package-local fake sidecar with deterministic turn
activity, terminal, acknowledgement-mismatch, and scope-violation modes.
- Add integration coverage for happy-path
activity/interruption/settlement, local validation, turn mismatch,
cancellation mismatch, cross-run denial, receipt rotation, and
cross-bridge call-ID reuse.
- Document the turn lifecycle boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `10cf68295d5457ccf1010db20a06e2951e47162a` (`master`
after #12418 merged).
- Exact replay head: `1ec18368bdacafafa58720b9e2b982e1b0d11163`.
- Stable patch ID: `4b43a5ef2a428850a05b0741d06e7cf4f48ec334`, identical
to the prepared four-commit delta plus the focused cross-bridge call-ID
reservation fix.
- The exact delta is 13 files, 1,855 additions, and 37 deletions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- GitHub Actions run `33364033038`, attempt 2: **PASSED** on the exact
replay head (23/23 jobs passed; the failed-job-only retry cleared one
unrelated flaky server heartbeat test).
- Greptile: **5/5** on the exact replay head with zero unresolved review
threads; Superagent, Socket, and Snyk checks also passed.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- A sidecar may emit events while a command response is in flight. The
transport buffers them, then the session binds the acknowledged turn
before polling and reducing those events.
- A turn-start rejection can leave provider-native state ambiguous, so
command rejection or acknowledgement mismatch terminates the session
instead of attempting unsafe reuse.
- Interruption does not settle local state; only the validated terminal
event clears the active turn.
- Any transport or event validation failure terminates the child process
so a compromised stream cannot continue.
- Call identifiers are authorization identities and remain reserved
across pending, completed, and settled states in both bridges.
- The package exposes new Rust methods, but no production path invokes
them in this pull request.
- Tool authorization is atomic with reducer state, but tool results,
structured input, and permission resolution remain later slices.

Dotta 10cf68295d feat(runner): bootstrap ACPX provider sessions (#12418)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now has bounded ACPX transport, scope, payload,
normalization, and state-reduction layers
> - A live provider needs a lifecycle owner that starts the sidecar and
proves it opened the exact requested session
> - The initial production slice is Codex-only and must fail closed on
capability, model, identity, policy, or catalog drift
> - Failed bootstraps must not leak a child process, and ordinary
shutdown must preserve resumable provider state
> - This pull request adds that package-local lifecycle without
selecting ACPX in runnerd
> - The benefit is a reviewable bootstrap/recovery boundary before turn
commands and production selection are connected

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12417

Refs #12416

## What Changed

- Add a package-local ACPX provider session configuration and lifecycle
owner.
- Reject non-UTF-8 runtime and working directories before spawning so
JSON path serialization cannot panic.
- Validate the sidecar launch contract, Codex-only agent, model, run and
session identifiers, absolute directories, positive JSON-safe catalog
revision, pinned permission mode, bounded instructions, and canonical
authorized tool catalog before spawning.
- Verify the initialization protocol version, child PID,
persistent-session support, exact-model support, runner-owned permission
policy, semantic-tool bridge, and structured-input contract.
- Open an identity-bound session and require the requested and effective
models, permission mode, session identifier, digests, and optional
recovery identity to match exactly.
- Attach the run and require the sidecar to confirm the exact run
identifier and catalog revision.
- Retry failed transport cleanup while retaining lifecycle ownership;
terminate the sidecar after every failed bootstrap and on an unclosed
session drop.
- Close sessions without discarding persistent state and make explicit
shutdown idempotent.
- Extend the package-local fake sidecar with deterministic bootstrap,
wrong-model, and wrong-run responses.
- Add five integration tests covering successful bootstrap/shutdown,
pre-spawn policy validation, model mismatch, run mismatch, and recovery
identity matching.
- Document the session bootstrap boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `f038633bf5b04163ff985ef0542876bd9f455379` (`master`
after #12417 merged).
- Exact replay head: `a6d9ad62f20fdb47a1dbc76aa4baa9d8fa6dae53`.
- Stable patch ID: `82b6f2551749598a688c3f44a1a3714516030429`, identical
to the reviewed `e6e550f9..d51a8855` delta.
- The exact delta is 5 files and 609 additions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Focused Rust lifecycle, package, repository, security, and Greptile
checks: **PASSED** on the replayed exact head. Full CI run `33362799786`
is green; its failed-job retry passed one unrelated flaky server shard
without a patch change. Greptile is exact-head 5/5, all security checks
pass, and no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- This lifecycle owns a child process and session identity.
Configuration is fully validated before spawning, every bootstrap
response is checked against the child PID and requested identity, and
failed bootstrap always terminates the process.
- Recovery identity matching is exact so a persisted native record
cannot silently attach to another session, model, workspace, profile, or
permission policy.
- Explicit shutdown preserves persistent provider state; a dropped
unclosed session still terminates its process group as a safety
fallback.
- The package exports a new Rust module, but no production path
constructs it in this pull request.
- Turn commands, event polling, request resolution, and runnerd
selection remain later slices.

Dotta f038633bf5 feat(runner): reduce ACPX provider state (#12417)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now has bounded ACPX transport, scope, payload, and
provider-neutral normalization layers
> - A live provider still needs state across events to correlate
requests and preserve turn ordering
> - That state must not mutate before scope and payload validation
succeeds
> - It must bound retained text and pending values, suppress repeated
reasoning boundaries, and make one semantic result authoritative
> - This pull request adds that reducer without issuing process commands
or selecting ACPX in runnerd
> - The benefit is a separately reviewable state machine before
transport commands and production selection are connected

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12416

Refs #12415

## What Changed

- Add a package-local ACPX provider state reducer with one run binding
and one active turn.
- Decode every sidecar event through the existing scope-first payload
boundary before state mutation.
- Bound retained assistant text, pending semantic tool inputs, and
pending runtime request values.
- Correlate semantic tool calls, structured input requests, and
permission requests by stable IDs.
- Keep pending tool resolution two-phase so callers remove state only
after a later sidecar command succeeds.
- Carry authoritative tool classification from validated payloads into
retained state.
- Suppress repeated reasoning-start activity within one turn.
- Accept one semantic result idempotently and fail closed on a
conflicting result.
- Flush the final assistant message before the authoritative terminal
event.
- Clear unresolved turn-scoped requests at terminal state and reject
late events for the settled turn.
- Admit redacted global process and diagnostic events without requiring
an active turn.
- Add seven integration tests for turn ordering, correlation, conflicts,
scope-before-mutation, redaction, and terminal cleanup.
- Document the state boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `7bb6cebeae727a16c205bb80b5c2b9e92ea6b5fa` (`master`
after #12416 merged).
- Exact replay head: `da82e7f67ecd6f0f2184f303b1b703721099cd86`.
- Stable patch ID: `3027df409450d08b2c32383585597a39e06c6f53`, identical
to the reviewed `f9cb4e54..e6e550f9` delta.
- The exact delta is 4 files and 720 additions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Focused Rust state, package, repository, security, and Greptile
checks: **PASSED** on the replayed exact head. Full CI run `33362166929`
completed successfully, Greptile is exact-head 5/5, all security checks
pass, and no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- This reducer owns security-sensitive correlation and terminal
ordering, so its only raw-event entry point always invokes scope-first
decoding.
- Pending resolution methods must be called only after the corresponding
sidecar transport command succeeds; the later process adapter owns that
sequencing.
- Terminal events intentionally clear unresolved turn-scoped requests so
late tool or input results fail closed.
- One semantic result remains readable after terminal state for later
durable finalization and is cleared only when a new turn begins.
- The package exports a new Rust module, but no production path
constructs it in this pull request.

Dotta 7bb6cebeae feat(runner): normalize ACPX provider events (#12416)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Rust runner now admits ACPX sidecar frames only after transport,
scope, and payload validation
> - Valid payloads still contain provider-native runtime event shapes
> - Provider-native shapes must not cross the PRP boundary or diverge
from direct Codex task activity
> - This pull request maps the display-safe runtime subset into existing
provider-neutral event families
> - Stateful semantic-result, terminal, and reasoning-deduplication
behavior remains reserved for the later provider adapter
> - The benefit is a reviewable normalization boundary without selecting
ACPX in production

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12415

Refs #12414

## What Changed

- Normalize validated ACPX text, reasoning, plan, status, tool, notice,
and error updates into existing PRP activity families.
- Keep reasoning contents private while preserving a reasoning activity
boundary.
- Map plan entries, usage, review-mode status, and tool lifecycle into
bounded canonical payloads.
- Generate one shared ACPX sidecar event/classification contract for
TypeScript and Rust, with ASCII-only classification parity and bounded
kind/title fields.
- Preserve authoritative tool-call identity and classification even when
the aggregate native event exceeds the generic frame budget.
- Resolve display-only tool targets within the workspace under the
provider host's path semantics; reject raw, unmarked, absolute,
parent-traversing, URL-shaped, and unsafe drive-shaped values.
- Redact and digest retained tool output with the existing durable
policy.
- Ignore provider inventory status updates that have no user-facing
activity.
- Leave semantic results and `done` updates to the stateful adapter so
durable receipts and terminal events are not duplicated.
- Add cross-language and Rust coverage for every mapping family,
classifier parity, privacy, unsafe paths, redaction, bounded
titles/kinds, and oversized tool-call preservation.
- Document the normalization and display-path authorization boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `fe2ddfad2b5cb604b3244492257db0e6aec11d47` (`master`
after #12415 merged).
- Exact replay head: `b7f5588bf6e8e0f946ffa8869a3204c344808418`.
- Stable patch ID: `fda62c7c20afc5ef9c75d07f163a466db82efabd`, identical
to the prepared six-commit delta plus the focused oversized-tool-call
review fix.
- The exact delta is 14 files, 1,714 additions, and 60 deletions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Focused protocol-generation, TypeScript sidecar, Rust normalization,
package, repository, security, and Greptile checks: **PASSED** on the
replayed exact head. Full CI run `33361437835` completed 23/23 jobs
successfully, Greptile is exact-head 5/5, all security checks pass, and
no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- This code controls what provider activity is retained and displayed,
so malformed native values must not bypass the earlier decoder.
- The function contract requires an already scope-checked and
payload-validated runtime event; the future adapter must preserve that
order.
- Tool classification and identity are security-relevant authorization
inputs and remain explicit even when optional aggregate display data is
dropped for bounds.
- Repeated reasoning chunks require stateful suppression. This mapper
exposes a privacy-safe start boundary and the later adapter owns
per-turn deduplication.
- Semantic results and terminal authority intentionally produce no
activity here; the later adapter must commit them through the durable
operational paths.
- The package exports new generated and Rust normalization surfaces, but
no production path invokes them in this pull request.

Dotta fe2ddfad2b feat(runner): validate ACPX event payloads (#12415)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The runner needs a bounded process boundary for each qualified
provider runtime
> - The ACPX transport now verifies frame shape, sequence, run scope,
and turn scope
> - The sidecar schema keeps event payloads open so each event family
needs a second validation boundary
> - A later provider adapter must not retain or act on malformed payload
fields
> - This pull request validates and redacts package-local payloads and
keeps the provider unselected
> - The benefit is a typed fail-closed boundary before provider state or
semantic tools can consume an event

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12414

Refs #12412

## What Changed

- Decode sidecar payloads only after run and turn scope validation
passes.
- Limit each decoded payload to 256 KiB.
- Add typed payload variants for runtime events, permission requests,
input requests, semantic tool calls, terminal events, process events,
and diagnostics.
- Admit only the nine runtime event shapes emitted by the reviewed Codex
ACPX sidecar.
- Validate runtime text, plan entries, tool locations, semantic result
identities, notices, errors, and terminal status values.
- Validate input requests against `paperclip.question_set.v1`.
- Reject duplicate question IDs and duplicate option IDs within one
question.
- Require bounded control identities and object-shaped operational
values.
- Redact diagnostic, error, process, permission, tool, and retained
runtime values before they can enter provider state.
- Add six integration tests for every admitted shape, malformed values,
scope-before-decode ordering, size limits, question ambiguity, and
secret redaction.
- Document the payload boundary.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `3db24d9366831559b1219782475e760ec041b639` (`master`
after #12414 merged).
- Exact replay head: `de045b42b5b52cca6c3021380747c56693ccd179`.
- Stable patch ID: `90a6f0ed68b2ca7fa5397a8bf93e5e95df5bb58c`, identical
to the reviewed `972a3b38..9bb85e93` delta.
- The exact delta is 4 files and 806 additions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Focused Rust payload, package, repository, security, and Greptile
checks: **PASSED** on the replayed exact head. Full CI run `33360832792`
completed 23/23 jobs successfully, Greptile is exact-head 5/5, all
security checks pass, and no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- This decoder is a security boundary because later code can act on
decoded semantic tool calls and input requests.
- It validates event authority before it inspects a payload.
- It fails closed on unknown runtime event types, malformed fields,
ambiguous question identifiers, unsupported terminal states, and
oversized payloads.
- It applies the existing durable redaction policy to retained values.
- The package exports a new Rust module, but no production path
constructs it in this pull request.
- A later provider adapter must preserve this validation order and must
not consume raw sidecar payloads directly.

> - The runner needs a bounded process boundary for each qualified
provider runtime
> - The package now has a fail-closed transport for the Codex ACPX
sidecar
> - A valid sidecar frame can still name the wrong run or turn
> - A later provider adapter must reject those events before it maps or

and keeps it unselected
> - The benefit is an explicit authorization boundary without a
production behavior change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12412

Refs #12410

## What Changed

- Add an `AcpxEventScope` for one run and at most one active turn.
- Validate run and turn identifiers before they enter scope state.
- Make repeated binding of the same turn safe.
- Reject a second active turn and a stale turn clear.
- Require exact run and active turn bindings for operational, tool,
input, permission, and terminal events.
- Permit process and diagnostic events without a scope because they can
describe the sidecar process itself.
- Validate every optional run or turn binding on process and diagnostic
events.
- Add an integration-test file for all seven event families, missing
scope, cross-run scope, cross-turn scope, inactive turns, turn
lifecycle, and invalid identifiers.
- Document the event authorization boundary.

pass, and no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative

## Risks

- Event scope is a security boundary because it rejects data from
another run or turn.
- The validator fails closed on missing, malformed, stale, or
cross-scope identifiers.
- Process and diagnostic events can remain global, but any scope they
provide must be valid.
- The package exports a new Rust module, but no production path
constructs it in this pull request.
- A later provider adapter must bind and clear the exact turn around
each sidecar turn.

Dotta 75708fec6d feat(runner): add ACPX sidecar transport (#12412)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The runner needs a bounded process boundary for each qualified
provider runtime
> - The package now provides a reviewed Codex-only ACPX sidecar
executable
> - Runnerd does not yet have a strict client for that sidecar protocol
> - A later provider adapter must not mix process transport defects with
provider mapping
> - This pull request adds the package-local Rust transport and keeps it
unselected
> - The benefit is a tested fail-closed boundary for the later Codex
provider adapter without a production behavior change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12410

Refs #12386

## What Changed

- Add a Rust client for the generated ACPX sidecar v2 contract.
- Validate the executable path, launch arguments, request timeout, and
shutdown grace before process start.
- Require exact request identities and contiguous event sequence
numbers.
- Reject replayed events, sequence gaps, wrong response identities,
malformed frames, unknown fields, and unsupported protocol versions.
- Bound stdout frames to 1 MiB and buffered events to 512 entries.
- Bound event poll timeouts to 120 seconds before any `Instant`
arithmetic.
- Buffer valid events that arrive while a command waits for its
response.
- Treat an empty event poll as a normal timeout without poisoning the
transport.
- Discard retained events and reject all polling after a terminal
transport failure.
- Terminate the process group after a timeout, transport failure, or
protocol failure.
- Keep a valid sidecar command rejection separate from a transport
failure so the next command can run.
- Redact and bound stderr diagnostics before they enter an error.
- Add a deterministic fake sidecar and twelve integration tests for
success, polling, timeout bounds, poisoned queues, replay, gaps,
identity mismatch, rejection, event floods, oversized frames, and secret
redaction.
- Document that the transport remains package-local and does not change
runnerd provider selection.
- Do not change dependencies, lockfiles, workflows, runnerd selection,
server behavior, UI, or migrations.

## Verification

- Replay base: `9ad8dbffa0a4759dcda2769042d6e8f02adcdf8d` (`master`
after #12410 merged).
- Exact replay head: `5c41111c4f9564405a6e87a02b6cf253a4424e5f`.
- Stable patch ID: `60aca2620fdbb73fbbc203e928d39dcd450e085b`; this
preserves the reviewed `1334a7f5..c5654218` six-file delta and keeps
trusted bounded-reader failures distinct from fully redacted child
stderr.
- The exact delta is 6 files and 896 additions, all in
`packages/paperclip-runner`; it contains no lockfile, workflow, server,
UI, or migration change.
- Focused Rust transport, package, repository, security, and Greptile
checks: **PASSED** on the replayed exact head. Full CI run `33359202433`
is green; its failed-job retry passed the two unrelated flaky jobs
without a patch change. Greptile is exact-head 5/5, all security checks
pass, and no review threads remain unresolved.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for this replayed revision.

## Risks

- The transport crosses an untrusted process boundary and is
security-sensitive.
- It fails closed on malformed frames, identity drift, event replay,
sequence gaps, queue overflow, frame overflow, timeout, process exit,
and channel failure.
- A terminal failure clears retained events before it marks the
transport unavailable.
- It redacts and bounds retained diagnostics before it returns them to a
caller.
- A valid remote command rejection does not corrupt the transport state.
- The package exports a new Rust module, but no production path
constructs it in this pull request.
- The later provider adapter must validate run, turn, session, model,
and tool bindings before it selects this transport.

Dotta 9ad8dbffa0 feat(runner): add Codex ACPX sidecar (#12410)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The runner needs a bounded process boundary for each qualified
provider runtime.
> - The ACPX contract, Codex profile, structured questions, and recovery
rules now exist in the package.
> - The package does not yet provide an executable that applies those
rules to a real Codex ACPX host.
> - Provider admission must retain process, credential, and cleanup
ownership on every failure path.
> - A production selector must not depend on an unreviewed
provider-generic sidecar.
> - This pull request adds one installable Codex-only ACPX sidecar and
leaves it unselected.
> - The benefit is a testable package boundary for later runnerd
integration without changing current execution selection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12409

Refs #12386

This pull request implements the Codex-only executable for the ACPX
sidecar contract merged in #12386. It builds on the question conformance
gate merged in #12409. Runnerd and the server do not select this
executable in this pull request.

## What Changed

- Publish the `paperclip-runner-acpx-sidecar` package binary and
document its current boundary.
- Add a versioned stdin/stdout sidecar that admits only the qualified
Codex ACPX profile and exact initialized model.
- Support atomic session open, run attachment, turn start and
cancellation, tool and input resolution, session read and snapshot, safe
suspension, close, and recovery identity checks.
- Bind runtime directory, workspace, permission mode, provider identity,
run identity, and semantic tool catalog before use.
- Validate completion and blocked results against the PRP result
contract. Bound pending tools, pending inputs, messages, events, usage,
diagnostics, and errors.
- Redact provider output and convert file locations to bounded
workspace-relative display data. Do not treat displayed paths as
file-access authority.
- Harden verified executable loading, module resolution, launch
environment filtering, process-group guardianship, and provider
termination.
- Retain managed credentials and every failed-admission resource until
the exact provider cleanup proves ownership was released.
- Keep failed-admission cleanup alive with bounded backoff until the
provider exits. Do not scrub credentials or admit a replacement while
cleanup still owns the provider.
- Use one runtime-host cleanup-owner registry and preserve sequential
cleanup retries across command timeouts and shutdown.
- Arm a credential-free same-group watchdog before provider admission so
guardian death reaps even a stopped provider; retain an independent
kernel EOF proof before releasing credentials.
- Add sidecar process, lifecycle, location, package, driver, credential,
installation, runtime-adapter, and runtime-host regression tests.
- Add `tsx` as a package test-only development dependency for the real
TypeScript sidecar process test.

## Verification

- Replay base: `b93ad538b63c81a1e3d24bbb54c02f8effdea787` (`master`
after #12409 merged).
- Exact replay head: `ca7e93f4385c37289c82b360ca8def0d88c1bd00`.
- Stable patch ID for the resolved 18-file delta:
`d293717a1e9f2485b61c553c58ea37690fc0a4fa`.
- The intended pull request delta contains exactly these 18 files:
  - `packages/paperclip-runner/README.md`
  - `packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`
  - `packages/paperclip-runner/src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.ts`

  - `packages/paperclip-runner/src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts`
- `packages/paperclip-runner/test/acpx-codex-package-contract.test.mjs`
- The resolved combined delta is 4,725 additions and 665 deletions; it
preserves the lower-PR runtime-close semantics, repairs stale
successful-admission fixtures, deterministically observes renewed
reconciliation, accepts authoritative same-host cleanup recovery without
dropping pending owners, ignores superseded cleanup failures after a
newer owner recovers, and requires both guardian exit and independent
provider-lifetime EOF before releasing cleanup or credential ownership.
A readiness-gated, credential-free watchdog also reaps a stopped
provider if its guardian is externally killed.
- This change updates the runner package manifest, README, and test-only
dependencies. It does not change `pnpm-lock.yaml`, a workflow,
migration, server route, UI path, runnerd selection, or current
direct-adapter behavior.
- Focused GitHub verification: **PASSED** for the sidecar process,
lifecycle, location, package-contract, driver, credential,
installation-integrity, runtime-adapter, and runtime-host suites on the
replayed head.
- Package verification: **PASSED** for the clean tarball, Node shebang,
and exact binary mapping on the replayed head.
- GitHub Actions and security checks: **PASSED** for the replayed exact
head; full CI run `33357846557` completed 23/23 jobs successfully, and
Superagent, Socket, Snyk, supply-chain, and contributor-trust checks are
green. Storybook was intentionally skipped because this PR does not
touch its paths.
- Greptile: **5/5** on the exact head with zero unresolved review
threads.
- No local test result is claimed. GitHub Actions is the authoritative
verification environment for the replayed revision.

## Risks

This change has medium security and lifecycle risk because the new
executable crosses a process, credential, filesystem, and provider
boundary. The sidecar fails closed on unsupported providers, models,
permissions, identities, catalogs, forms, commands, and persistent-state
deletion. A cleanup owner can remain alive until a stubborn provider
exits. Its retries use bounded backoff, and admission stays closed while
ownership remains. Command and shutdown waits remain bounded without
abandoning the underlying cleanup. The new `tsx` dependency is
development-only. The package exposes a new binary, but no runnerd,
server, UI, or direct-adapter path starts it in this pull request.

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.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The exact deployment ID and context-window
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.
