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).

# ACPX profile identity
## Scope and purpose
This rule covers ACPX provider profiles, their release declarations and pins,
the profile generator, the provider-pack contract registry, and the ACPX
driver and provider code. Every ACPX harness (Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor,
Grok, Pi, Antigravity and any new one) uses the same identity model, so a
change behaves the same way for all of them.
## The identity model
A provider profile in `acpx-profiles.json` has a version and a `commandDigest`.
Three things decide whether saved work and installed packs stay compatible:
| What changed | What carries it | Effect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The provider's upstream release: package versions, platform closures, a launcher shipped verbatim | The profile's `commandDigest` | Saved sessions for that provider start fresh |
| The shared ACPX layer | The profile's `acpxVersion` and the Runner's ACPX patch in the pack `contractDigest` | The same for every provider |
| A runner/pack contract: schemas, generated catalogs, Rust shapes and env keys | The provider pack's `contractDigest` | Older image packs are not reused |
Ordinary Runner source changes, refactors and comments change none of these.
## Required behavior
- **Attest the upstream release.** Declare each provider's attestation in
`ACPX_RELEASE_ATTESTATIONS` (`scripts/acpx-release-attestations.mjs`), using
the kind that fits: `installed-command`, `launcher`, `closure` or
`declaration`. The digest binds only what a repackager copies verbatim from
the upstream release, so the same release gives the same digest wherever the
pack is built or installed.
- **Keep Paperclip source and the ACPX layer out of provider digests.**
Runner/pack compatibility belongs to the `contractDigest`. When Runner code
and a pack must agree on a new field or behavior, declare it in a schema
under `protocol/` and generate the TypeScript, so the contract registry
covers it.
- **Regenerate instead of hand-editing.** After an upstream bump or a pin
change, run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner generate:acpx-profiles`.
`check:acpx-profiles` runs in the build and refuses a stale digest.
- **Keep the profile version.** An upstream release changes the digest, not the
version. A new provider starts at version 1. Bump a version only to reset
every saved session for that provider on purpose, such as a change in saved
session semantics that exact admission cannot detect. Record the reason in
the PR and in the version table in `profile-compatibility.test.ts`.
- **Keep earlier versions decodable.** Saved inputs with any version from 1
through the current one decode, so recovery can refuse them. Launch and
recovery admission require the exact current profile and digest.
## Adding a provider
1. Add its profile at version 1 to `acpx-profiles.json`.
2. Add its attestation to `ACPX_RELEASE_ATTESTATIONS`, with its pins in
erasable TypeScript or JSON that the generator can read.
3. Run `generate:acpx-profiles`, then `node --test scripts/acpx-release-attestations.test.mjs`.
## Review criteria
- Does every provider digest change only with its upstream release?
- Is a new runner/pack contract declared where the `contractDigest` reads it?
- Does a version bump state which saved sessions it resets, and why?
- Does the change treat every ACPX harness the same way?
