Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 8362dbff4d feat(runner): make every ACPX provider declare its release attestation (#18342)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native ACPX runs admit a provider only when its saved profile
version and `commandDigest` match the current profile exactly.
> - #18325 made every provider digest attest its upstream release, and
bound the shared ACPX layer and Runner source through the pack
`contractDigest`.
> - The model is documented, but it lived in prose. A new provider, such
as one in an open PR, could still choose another digest model without
any check or guidance.
> - This pull request makes the model the default path: each provider
declares its attestation in one registry, and the generator, a test and
a scoped rule explain the pattern where contributors meet it.
> - The benefit is that new providers and upstream bumps follow one
model, without a growing list of blocked legacy patterns.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18325, #18237.

**What happened?**

After #18325, only Copilot, Grok and Pi went through
`acpx-release-attestations.mjs`. Cursor and Antigravity had separate
inline checks in the generator, and Claude and Codex had none. A new
provider could add a profile with any digest. Nothing told the author
how to compute it, and nothing pinned the profile versions that now
change only for deliberate resets.

**Expected behavior**

Every ACPX provider declares how its `commandDigest` attests the
upstream release. Tools and review guidance describe the pattern when a
contributor adds a provider, bumps an upstream release or changes a
version.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Add a new provider profile to
`packages/paperclip-runner/acpx-profiles.json` with an arbitrary
`commandDigest`.
2. Run `node
packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check`.
3. Before this change, the check passes.

## What Changed

- Add `ACPX_RELEASE_ATTESTATIONS` to
`scripts/acpx-release-attestations.mjs`. Every profile declares one
kind:
- `installed-command` (Claude, Codex): installation hashes the upstream
launch command.
  - `launcher` (Grok): the SHA-256 of the launcher shipped verbatim.
- `closure` (Copilot, Pi): upstream versions and complete platform
closure pins.
- `declaration` (Cursor, Antigravity): a checked-in release declaration,
as canonical JSON.
- `generate-acpx-profiles.mjs` checks every profile through the
registry. The separate Cursor and Antigravity digest checks are now part
of the same path. No digest changes.
- A profile without a declared attestation fails generation. The message
says to declare one and points to the rule.
- A stale digest message now says that a digest changes only with its
upstream release, and that an upstream change keeps the profile version.
- Add a test that pins the profile versions. It explains that a bump
resets every saved session for that provider, and that a new provider
starts at 1.
- Add `rules/acpx-profile-identity.mdc`. It describes the identity
model, how to add a provider, when to bump a version, and review
criteria. `AGENTS.md` and `.greptile/files.json` route the profile,
attestation, contract-registry, ACPX driver and provider paths to it.
- Update the profile identity section in
`packages/paperclip-runner/docs/durable-recovery.md` with the
attestation kinds and the version policy.

## Verification

- In `packages/paperclip-runner`:
- `node scripts/generate-acpx-profiles.mjs --check` passes. Running it
without `--check` changes no digest.
- `node --test scripts/acpx-release-attestations.test.mjs
scripts/contracts/contract-fingerprints.test.mjs`: 22 tests pass. New
cases: every profile declares an attestation, a new provider without one
fails with guidance, and Cursor and Antigravity declaration changes
affect only their own digests.
- `vitest run src/drivers/acpx/profile-compatibility.test.ts`: 15 tests
pass, including the version table.
  - `tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. No digest, version or runtime admission behavior changes.
- A new provider PR must add one registry entry. The generator error
states what to add.
- The version table needs an edit for each deliberate reset. Upstream
bumps do not touch it.

## Model Used

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

Repository rules

Keep architectural guidance in focused .mdc files here. Each file is Markdown with YAML frontmatter containing a description and an alwaysApply boolean. For scoped rules, set alwaysApply: false and provide comma-separated, repository-relative globs. For repository-wide rules, set alwaysApply: true and omit globs. Use ** for all descendants of a directory. Include sibling entry points explicitly when needed.

Root AGENTS.md tells coding agents to read matching rules before editing or reviewing code. This directory is a repository convention: Cursor does not automatically load it as .cursor/rules/, and the .mdc extension alone does not make a tool apply a rule.

Greptile reads matching rule files through .greptile/files.json and receives loading instructions from .greptile/rules.md. The rule body remains here as the single source of truth. Repository configuration takes effect when the files are available on the reviewed branch; local files alone are not visible to the hosted reviewer.

When adding or changing a rule:

  1. State the scope, required behavior, examples, exceptions, and review criteria.
  2. Add its path to .greptile/files.json. Copy its globs into that entry's scope array, one pattern per element. For alwaysApply: true, omit scope.
  3. Keep the rule's frontmatter and the Greptile scope synchronized. Verify that the scope covers representative files and excludes unrelated directories.
  4. Keep detailed policy in the rule file instead of copying it into tool settings.

Product behavior is covered by product-harness-responsibility.mdc: routine work belongs to the harness, and user-facing detail must support an outcome or a real decision. This applies to orchestration as well as UI.

See the Greptile file-reference documentation for the manifest format.

Background execution is covered by sleep-aware-background-work.mdc: new or expanded work must become quiet, use events and real scheduler deadlines, and preserve recovery across transactions, drain, and restart. This rule covers server/src/index.ts and the worker/producer paths in its scope. It does not require unrelated legacy polling to be migrated in the same PR.
