## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Each agent stores its harness, model, account and runtime configuration. > - New Claude and Codex agents now use Paperclip Runner on qualified targets. > - Existing agents keep their legacy runner and need a clear upgrade action. > - The existing configuration API already translates settings and records revisions. > - This pull request adds an explicit upgrade action that uses that API. > - Operators can retain supported settings and correct rejected settings in place. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** Existing Claude and Codex agent configuration. Related defaults: #15683 and #15993. **Current behavior** Existing agents retain their legacy runner. The operator must find the runner selector in Advanced to change it. **Proposed behavior** Show Upgrade runner when Paperclip Runner is the qualified default for the saved environment. One click saves pending edits and requests the existing server conversion. Show any rejected settings without changing saved configuration. **Reason and benefit** Operators can adopt the current runner while retaining their harness, model, account bindings, instructions and history. Unsupported settings remain visible and editable. **Breaking changes** None. Visiting configuration and saving unrelated changes do not upgrade an agent. The server API, authorization and conversion rules are unchanged. ## What Changed - Add an upgrade notice, pending state, saved result and retry feedback to the production configuration form. - Include pending profile, runtime and environment-variable edits in the upgrade request. - Bind asynchronous upgrade feedback and save receipts to their original agent. Navigating away cannot show success on another agent or redirect back. - Keep the notice absent for native agents, other harnesses, unavailable targets and failed discovery. - Add configuration/API regressions and database session-reset checks for Claude and Codex. - Add 13 production-page Storybook states with browser checks in both themes and on mobile. - Update the product contract and feature/access maps. ## Verification - Configuration form and original-agent save receipts: 135 tests passed. Existing agent route/rename helpers also pass. - Runner selection, configuration API and database migration regressions: 220 tests passed. - Storybook browser checks: 26 passed. Interactive cases wait for Storybook's visible Pass report. Static cases check the rendered production form. These use simulated HTTP boundaries. - Full typecheck, build, map checks and token gates passed on the current head. Storybook build and public preview verification passed. - Published fixture preview: https://storybook.paperclip.page/storybook/branches/codex~2Fagent-runner-upgrade/?path=/story/agents-runner-upgrade--legacy-codex - All 58 current-head PR checks passed, including the full test shards, browser suites, build and aggregate gates. The duplicate local pnpm test:run was stopped after 34 minutes once the same-head full CI suite passed; it had not finished its general-server phase. No local full-suite pass is claimed. - Real disposable local test drive: Codex used gpt-5.4 and Claude used claude-sonnet-4-6. Both completed one task on Legacy, upgraded through the browser button, and completed another task on Paperclip Runner with the same model and API credentials. Independent file checks confirmed saved instructions and environment bindings before and after conversion. - Reopened both configurations and compared identity, model, credential references, instruction hashes, working directories, run policies and configuration revisions. - A Claude Chrome setting produced a field-specific rejection. The saved agent stayed Legacy. Clearing Chrome in the form and clicking Upgrade runner saved the pending correction and completed conversion. ## Risks - The existing translator rejects settings that the new runner cannot honor. The notice shows that error and leaves the form available for correction. - Converted agents start fresh sessions. Prior runs remain available. - Real task execution was checked on local macOS with API credentials. SSH, sandbox targets and subscription credentials were not exercised in this change. - Storybook responses simulate persistence. The real test drive and database tests provide separate persistence evidence. ## Model Used - OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact serving variant and context-window size were not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, code editing, shell tools and browser interaction. No subagents. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

What gets published
The npm package contains the production build under dist/. It does not ship the UI source tree or workspace-only dependencies.
Storybook
Storybook config, stories, and fixtures live under ui/storybook/.

Typical use
Install the package, then serve or copy the built files from node_modules/@paperclipai/ui/dist.
Editor dependency identity
Keep the root and workspace overrides for @codemirror/state,
@codemirror/view, and @lezer/common aligned. CodeMirror requires shared
extension identity, while Lezer parsers and syntax highlighters require shared
NodeProp IDs. Multiple Lezer copies can crash code-block highlighting with
tags is not iterable. src/lib/codemirror-single-instance.test.ts checks the
installed dependency graph and highlights sample code through the editor's real
language dependencies. GitHub Actions owns regeneration of pnpm-lock.yaml.
