Devin FoleyandPaperclip bf982c8c83 Normalize adapter display labels (#8913)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Adapter names are part of the board-facing agent setup and
management experience.
> - The product now treats adapters as harnesses, while execution
environments are modeled separately.
> - Several built-in adapter labels still carried legacy local wording
from the older harness-by-environment model.
> - That wording makes the UI noisier and implies a distinction users no
longer need to reason about.
> - This pull request normalizes adapter display labels while keeping
persisted adapter type identifiers unchanged.
> - The benefit is clearer adapter selection and management copy without
a database migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue was found for this exact cleanup.

Related public PRs:

- Supersedes #8910, an earlier branch for the same cleanup that did not
include the later docs/gateway/Cursor alignment.
- Refs #8819, which is related display-registry work for external
multi-segment adapter labels, but not a duplicate of this built-in label
cleanup.

Feature request details:

- Subsystem affected: Cross-cutting (`ui/`, `packages/adapters`, and
docs).
- Problem or motivation: user-facing adapter names include legacy local
qualifiers even though adapters map to harnesses and environments are
first-class elsewhere.
- Proposed solution: remove the legacy local wording from built-in
display labels, keep machine-readable adapter type ids unchanged, and
keep gateway disambiguation where it is useful.
- Alternatives considered: changing persisted adapter type ids was ruled
out because it would create migration and compatibility risk; one-off UI
replacements were ruled out because the display registry is already the
correct central label boundary.
- Roadmap alignment: this is small adapter UX polish, not a new
roadmap-level core feature.

## What Changed

- Updated the adapter display registry so known adapter labels are final
and no built-in local adapter renders a legacy local suffix.
- Preserved clean derived labels for unknown plugin local types while
keeping gateway disambiguation for unknown gateway types.
- Updated `AdapterManager` to prefer registry labels when the server
reports raw adapter type ids for built-ins.
- Removed legacy local wording from built-in adapter metadata labels in
UI and adapter packages.
- Aligned Cursor adapter metadata with the central display registry
label.
- Updated adapter docs and Storybook fixtures to match the new display
names.
- Added focused registry coverage for built-in labels and unknown plugin
suffix behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:tokens`
- `git diff --check origin/master...fix/adapter-display-labels`
- Patch-addition scan for added secrets, private paths, and internal
links: no matches.
- GitHub duplicate search for open adapter-label/local-suffix issues and
PRs; #8910 was identified as the older superseded public PR.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/adapters/adapter-display-registry.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- Stale-label scan found no remaining user-facing display-label
suffixes; remaining local wording is operational/test terminology such
as adapter ids, docs about running locally, and test descriptions.

## Risks

Low risk. The change is display-label and documentation focused, and
adapter type ids remain unchanged. The main risk is ambiguous gateway
naming, mitigated by keeping explicit gateway labels where variants need
disambiguation.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex, tool-enabled coding agent in a local repository
workspace. Context window size is not exposed by this environment.

Use when:
- You want Paperclip to run Cursor Agent CLI locally as the agent runtime
- You want Cursor chat session resume across heartbeats via --resume
- You want structured stream output in run logs via --output-format stream-json
Don't use when:
- You need webhook-style external invocation (use openclaw_gateway or http)
- You only need one-shot shell commands (use process)
- Cursor Agent CLI is not installed on the machine
Core fields:
- cwd (string, optional): default absolute working directory fallback for the agent process (created if missing when possible)
- instructionsFilePath (string, optional): absolute path to a markdown instructions file prepended to the run prompt
- promptTemplate (string, optional): run prompt template
- model (string, optional): Cursor model id (for example auto or gpt-5.3-codex)
- mode (string, optional): Cursor execution mode passed as --mode (plan|ask). Leave unset for normal autonomous runs.
- command (string, optional): defaults to "agent"
- extraArgs (string[], optional): additional CLI args
- env (object, optional): KEY=VALUE environment variables
Operational fields:
- timeoutSec (number, optional): run timeout in seconds
- graceSec (number, optional): SIGTERM grace period in seconds
Notes:
- Runs are executed with: agent -p --output-format stream-json ...
- Prompts are piped to Cursor via stdin.
- Sessions are resumed with --resume when stored session cwd matches current cwd.
- Paperclip auto-injects local skills into "~/.cursor/skills" when missing, so Cursor can discover "$paperclip" and related skills on local runs.
- Paperclip auto-adds --yolo unless one of --trust/--yolo/-f is already present in extraArgs.
- Remote sandbox runs prepend "~/.cursor/bin" and "~/.local/bin" to PATH and prefer the installed absolute entrypoint from one of those directories when the default Cursor command is requested, so installer-managed sandbox leases do not need hardcoded command paths.
