## Thinking Path > - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work. > - Native Runner owns execution and task authority. > - Operators need an explicit native Cursor Cloud choice. > - Tools/files need company, task, session and run scope. > - This connects setup and lifecycle to Runner Core. > - Legacy agents retain their selected runtime/history. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Depends on #18068. Managed-only API placement and API-owned Stop containment are in #18310. Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. No duplicate native integration was found. ## What Changed - Add explicit native setup, Test, saved settings and dispatch with no-prompt account/catalog/callback checks. - Scope MCP to company, agent, task, session and run through authenticated HTTPS. Register verified artifacts/work products; preserve unpriced accounting, completion and budgets. - Connect Question/Plan continuation, cold handoff and admitted fresh sessions; recheck waiting admission under the task lock. - Present audited Stop intent while preserving physical containment proof; bound typed Stop metadata. Preserve title edits through preference/navigation readiness. - Select one live/history representation per run to prevent duplicate settled cards. Integrate upstream task/read-state/retry/schema contracts and repair two test fixtures. ## Verification Core #18068 merged normally as `3910352c923a`. Product head `5a60f541c982` has passing repository CI/build/browser checks, including required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, plus a fresh exact-head Greptile 5/5 review with zero unresolved threads. Two non-required external app checks remain pending: Paperclip Review is queued waiting for its assigned agent; Superagent Security Scan is reviewing the diff. These are not claimed completed. The normal merge endpoint enforces the repository rules; no policy or status override is used. The dependent Top PR is addressing its fresh deferred-Stop review finding. Product `5a60f541c982` passed 270 UI and 20 selected Cloud/native/disk-full tests, UI/server typechecks, tokens and maps. Top’s clean normal merge passed tokens/maps/diff checks; its matrix is pending. Earlier receipts retain Core’s 47 Rust, 4 compiled-native retirement and 19 settlement controls, normal Runner build, and runtime 9af build/recursive typecheck. Reproduced loading/shutdown CI fixture failures passed 7/7 browser and 121/121 unit tests, including a broken-unsubscribe negative control. No timeout/oracle was relaxed. The actual-parent restack adopts 75 mainline paths, including schema/permission and generic runtime changes, beyond the prior two fixture repairs and client projection fix. The full difference from hosted `9af1a5de42a2` is therefore larger than four files; backend source also differs. The merged config-read checks match Core391, and the Cursor placement/runtime/relay/selection modules match frozen9af; selected affected regressions pass. Paid proof keeps its actual 9af source/image identity. The separately tested live/history card fix is not claimed deployed on that host. On 9af, original saved settings survived reopening and fresh no-prompt Test authenticated catalog/model/binding; no new Save is claimed. Fresh Linux admission passed. With `claude-sonnet-4-5`, Artifact downloaded exact 27 bytes and matched 121 canonical identities in complete S3-served history. First Stop’s strict quiet FAILED on a 10.373-second gap despite independent cancellation/no late artifact. One targeted unchanged-sampler retry retained all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet / maximum gap 4.584 seconds, 67 ordered canonical identities, and separate CANCELLED/artifact-absent status after the original 180-second deadline. The pre-reload duplicate settled card is disclosed. Exact-ID cleanup for the three new provider agents is awaiting authorization, so full grades and the fresh Artifact’s post-cleanup download remain blocked. A historical deleted-provider artifact was newly downloaded on 9af; original F226 Question/Plan/reconnect and cleanup proof keep their identities. Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion failures with unknown causes/bounded recoveries; `dea023` Stop’s warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair ACK and original Core CI failures. WSP’s 251-assertion, 7/8-suite attempt failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged wrapper rerun passed 128. Retry alone establishes no cause or full local-suite pass. All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost is UNKNOWN. ## Risks Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values are submitted and checked through behavior; unpriced provider dollar cost stays UNKNOWN. Callbacks need authenticated reachable HTTPS. Scope, revocation, budgets, completion and cleanup remain authoritative. Operator Stop intent is separate from physical containment. Saved legacy agents retain their selected runtime. Prior shared title-save/deletion failures remain disclosed. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools, code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No value is inferred from the model catalog. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used and the limits of available model metadata - [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 linked public issues or described the issue in this PR - [x] I have not referenced internal or instance-local Paperclip issues or links - [x] My branch describes the change and contains no internal ticket ID - [x] I have run the scoped local tests reported above; pending gates are stated separately - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation - [x] I have considered and documented the risks - [x] All required CI gates pass on the current head - [x] Fresh Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved findings on the current head - [x] I will address all reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Paperclip agent access map
This map accompanies the feature map. It records APIs, agent entry points, permission boundaries and verification for the same capability IDs. The shared contract defines the format and maintenance rules.
The chat scenario catalog uses these same IDs for human requests and expected outcomes. Its scenarios retain the access boundaries here; neither a CEO role nor a planned scenario grants board authority or establishes a working production tool binding.
Use full capability IDs when referring to access contracts outside their file:
onboarding/company means the company capability in onboarding.md in both maps.
The feature index lists feature and
capability IDs; IDs and references
explains entry-point references and stable naming.
Browse access contracts
The same-named feature recipes define navigation and capability IDs. Run
node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs for the generated
maps/generated/agent-access-map.md index, or browse the
published feature guide.
Add or update the affected companion; there is no central registration or count.
Existing baseline source references describe the original inspection, not current verification. Record new executed evidence in the PR, issue, or CI artifact with its revision and scope. Do not refresh unrelated headers as bookkeeping.
Using an entry
Read its Policy and Gaps before selecting an agent path. Native fallback, legacy
REST/CLI, stdio MCP and a personal assistant connection can have different
authority and availability. Use a real admitted production binding; a scenario
declaration is not an installed tool. A restricted entry records current
enforcement and leaves any unresolved delegation decision visible.
For API catalog disagreements, follow the route/service authorization and record
discovery drift. For not-applicable, retain the concrete exception and local
path. Split shared business operations from client-only presentation.
Use maintain-verification-skill to reconcile changed source and both maps.
Use verify-paperclip and existing API/runner/MCP fixtures to collect the
permitted-agent and denial evidence; report blocked/not-run coverage honestly.
Run node scripts/check-maps.mjs after editing. The structural check does not
certify permissions, API catalog coverage, tool admission or live behavior.
Native REST transport
The call_api parity change reconciles affected baselines against
58e16dbddfc9c8d0cf60867f9d9847f0feda055b and the changes in this PR. Ordinary
REST operations use the same route authorization as legacy agent REST. Dedicated
tools remain optional for those operations; protocol endpoints still need their
existing clients. Board-only routes remain restricted for agent identity.
Native search_api / call_api is enabled by default, but explicit server,
company-allowlist and binding settings can narrow admission. It requires a running
authorized native run, current task assignment and execution-run binding, company
and budget authority, task privacy, and a permitted work mode. Ask and Plan retain
mutation restrictions, and runs retain their admitted JWT scope during restart
recovery even when task mode changes. A waiting
agent does not gain independent native control just because a REST route exists.
Connection-management reads support Standard, Ask and Plan; mutations require
Standard. Skill-test runs and nonstandard task-bridge keys cannot administer
connections. These gates supplement each operation's grants, resolved resource
and target scope, and responsible-user authority. See the
rollout policy
and connection authorization.
Credential-bearing replies, including company exports and their legacy alias, stay inline under a 10 MiB limit and use encrypted mutation receipts. Other saved API snapshots are limited to the issuing actor and responsible user, plus authorized administrators. Artifact uploads enforce the same access checks as downloads; private snapshots are excluded from company exports and public company logos. Explicit deliverables use the existing sharing path. Native event history, checkpoints and completion records omit API bodies while preserving receipt metadata and replay digests. Restored webhook secrets use the same encrypted receipt and inline response policy as newly created webhook secrets. Task image access requires the company boundary and the task permission; skill-test and low-trust agents do not need company-wide browsing authority. Completion replay applies the same idempotent projection to stored and expected payloads; the run-log guide describes its fields.
Sources: API client,
catalog,
native authority,
credential storage classification,
snapshot access,
and history redaction. The affected entries remain
baseline and source-only; this reconciliation does not certify every operation.
Targeted real-route proof lives in the
API integration suite,
including owned routines, skill tests, scoped secrets, proposals and private export replay.
