## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages agents and their work. > - A provider integration must work through ordinary agent setup and task controls. > - The recorded Antigravity walkthrough exposed setup, delivery, and continuation failures. > - A repeatable check must verify real work and retain failed attempts. > - This pull request converts all 47 recorded steps into one fixed Product E2E journey. > - Maintainers can rerun the case and inspect independent delivery, cleanup, and accounting evidence. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Builds on merged #18187, #18188, and #18189, and consumes the shared repairs from merged #18230 and the equivalent manual-policy declaration from #18222. Refs #18214 for the CI task wrapper. Refs #12503 and #14938 for related legacy adapter work. **Agent or provider** Google Antigravity native Runner with a saved managed Google subscription and the exact Low model. **Why this adapter is useful** A user must be able to add an agent, connect its account, and receive real task results across a follow-up. Picker visibility alone is insufficient. **How the agent is invoked** A fixed Playwright driver uses ordinary product controls. The agent runs through native ACP. Independent checks use public APIs, actual downloads, owned process observations, and native lifetime fences. ## What Changed - Register one explicit-only case: `antigravity-agent-journey.runner-antigravity.local.saved-subscription-two-turn`. - Map all 47 source steps and declare saved-account prerequisites, finite limits, and same-host macOS ARM64 scope. - Create an agent through the ordinary picker, connect the saved account, select Low, run Test, and wait for readiness. Save an instruction marker, deliver a file, and update it through an ordinary follow-up. - Require each run's visible completed file activity, exact downloaded bytes, committed Done result, same tagged conversation, distinct physical owner birth, released lease, and free native fences. Verify reload persistence. - Stop failed native runs that still own a retry. Replay an existing Stop with its durable request identity and wait for the matching audited acknowledgement. A terminal reservation without a native intent remains unconfirmed. - Keep private evidence in the existing result, report, dashboard, and accounting pipeline. Retain the paused QA agent and financial history while preserving the shared account and budget policies. - Journal only the ordinary wizard's future ID, target, name, intended harness and expected creator before forwarding its POST unchanged. Bind the response and interrupted recovery to exact identity reads; a pending 404 stays unconfirmed. - Serialize private resource snapshots through temporary-file fsync, atomic rename and directory fsync. Abort forwarding on storage failure and preserve legacy receipts. If later journal or diagnostic writes fail, retain the primary error, always close the browser, and attempt the ordinary failed report. - Add production-component browser controls and harden task-menu readiness, alias selection, scroll restoration, failure packaging, and one hermetic auth-test budget. - Wait for the existing GitHub recovery fixture to register its next deadline before asserting the original range; preserve its nested-transaction and zero-request checks. In the decision-expiry fixture, verify the exact saved expiry separately from the earlier global wake of another queue. ## Verification - Fresh registered acceptance passed on eval source `9060f3cd01b7c3445ecdf703d72e9cf30fe42b59` and merged serving product `61bd4ac6919c2309f766a25e62273b074cee3261`. It completed ordinary setup and two turns with native `.5` and `gemini-3.8-flash-low`. All 16 matchers, 14 checkpoints, and cleanup passed in **165,613 ms**. Actual downloads were **61 bytes** and **119 bytes**. Both turns passed their own run-bound browser activity checks and reload persistence. - Independent read-back confirms Done, a paused retained agent, the same connected saved default account, and no active owned run. Both accepted results have the same full tagged conversation and distinct primary process births. All 21 observed processes retired; both leases released and all three native fences were free after each turn. The selected `.5` checkpoints also showed equal agent/backend session IDs; this is an observed case requirement, not a generic ACP invariant. - Receipts report 339,273 input tokens, 7,224 output tokens, and 202,846 cached input tokens. Subscription prices are unavailable. Billing coverage remains incomplete, not free. - The normal report CLI passed. All 310 files from nine original attempts and two separate recoveries retained their hashes. The twelve current screenshots are byte-identical, and 194 local report links are contained and valid. The eight earlier reports were copied without regeneration. - Delivery source `1bf4fb04df04710b82844b3c9355767f46b5f68f` branches from `d3f2a60e795fc60d64c8b19d1eed4d48657d5492` and merges cleanly with current master `1d571de5f9f886d66e520800baec8fc2f67d0948`. All 41 prior `c8b332` authored file blobs remain identical; the 42nd path is the decision-expiry fixture contract correction. Creation ownership, the strict durable writer, and the ordinary successful workflow remain unchanged. Of 43 measured file blobs, 30 remain identical. The Antigravity oracle, artifact, billing and report gates and its suite-specific validation block remain unchanged. The actual retained agent matches its original creator; its original request `setupId` was not captured and is not reconstructed. - Later master changes include model-visible workspace guidance and rejected-terminal-report handling. Their bounded source assessment is separate: the first actual finish failed, then a same-turn replacement was accepted and committed. Later read-only results match both original native-result hashes, and the complete event catalogs have no `session.failed` event. Master #18228 also expands detection of explicit JSON file requests. The measured create/update-and-attach `.txt` task already required publication under both parsers; the publication validation gate itself is unchanged. Master #18240 changes remote workspace cache staging and adds an OpenCode index refresh. The selected local lane returns before those paths. Master #18213 adds optional numeric turn timing and trace boundaries. Its selected Antigravity model, text, IDs, result and retirement semantics remain unchanged in the bounded source review. Local diagnostic rows and awaits can change event ordinals and latency; the oracle checks relative semantic order. Collector coverage and latency improvement remain outside this proof. This does not claim that the whole current runtime is byte-identical to serving `61bd`, or relabel the measured result as a new run. - The adopted upstream cache controls passed 3/3 with pinned real Turbo. Forced work disables local and remote reads and writes; ordinary work reuses local results. The original genuine-pnpm/Turbo controls remain historical to `9060`'s earlier write-only policy. The duplicate cache patch is superseded by #18230. Its qualification-only pnpm addition is removed because the adopted upstream controls do not require it. - The E2E typecheck, map checks and 277-control replay are carried from the unchanged eval source paths. That replay passed, including the 183 Antigravity controls, catalog/connection checks and the separate product-journey validator. The carried creation controls include 91 config/recovery cases. The final launcher suite passed 19/19, including five real campaign finalization fault cases; the report suite passed 7/7. These final checks did not rerun the earlier 277-control group. The canonical production-component browser spec passed in 27.4 s under its unchanged 60 s limit before the replay. Four paused-composer cases and the product base's build/typecheck plus 376 focused regressions were verified earlier. - The shipped wizard and actual API client cover persistence before forwarding, lost response JSON, foreign/malformed requests, wrong response identity/creator and cleanup-error preservation. Real filesystem controls failed 5/5 before the writer repair and passed 5/5 afterward, preserving the old journal on partial-write, temporary-file sync and rename faults. Three persistent-sync campaign controls failed before the finalization repair and passed afterward. All five final campaign fault cases preserve the primary failure, cleanup failure, usage and failed report while attempting browser closure. The strict journal still blocks the next mutation. These are provider-free ownership controls; the Google task proof remains the original `9060` → `61bd` acceptance. - The decision restart check passed in the local 20-case fixture run. A current-source real-PostgreSQL rollback control reproduced the exact 90,000 ms earlier global wake: the old equality rejected it, while the exact durable expiry and new future-wake bound passed. The original 60 s open-state, exact-timestamp, continuation and quiet checks remain. The broader local run was **FAILED: 19 passed / 1 failed**, with a 15 s timeout and a 30 s cleanup timeout in an unchanged timestamp-pagination case. That case passed in canonical `c8b332` CI; the local timeout cause remains inconclusive. An extra local server typecheck failed against stale cached Runner declarations; it did not check this excluded test file. Both limits remain recorded for fresh canonical CI. - A broader local GitHub recovery group passed 21/22. Its unchanged pagination case observed an unexpected config request; the log does not establish the cause. That result remains retained, and fresh current-head CI is the final broader gate. - Exact delivery-head CI completed with 55 successes, two skips, and one optional neutral review. Required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, build, typecheck, and Runner checks passed. Fresh Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads. Optional Paperclip is neutral 4/5; its carried recommendations are dispositioned against the public Stop contract and selected live identity evidence. Seven earlier converted attempts retain their failed grades and partial evidence. Historical Paid8 and its later read-only per-run UI observation remain separate from the fresh acceptance above. Unknown prices and the older partial startup accounting remain explicit. Full lineage and raw evidence remain private in the normal report bundle. ## Risks - This case requires an authorized saved personal default Google subscription and finite operator candidate admission. It does not test fresh OAuth or establish global qualification. - The physical observer supports a same-host loopback macOS ARM64 target. Cloud, Linux, and other models remain outside this case. - A known-cost stop cannot cap missing prices or in-flight subscription charges. Existing operator policies remain unchanged. - Raw account/native identities stay private. Missing retirement proof keeps resources retained. The selected cleanup mode does not test agent purge. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex (GPT-6). The host did not expose the exact model revision or context limit. The model used tools for code edits, tests, browser automation, and review. ## 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>

Antigravity additional-agent journey
antigravity-agent-journey.runner-antigravity.local.saved-subscription-two-turn
converts the recorded 38-step setup/first-task and 9-step follow-up into one
explicit-only Product E2E cell. It is excluded from --all and scheduled paid
matrices. The conversion brief
records all 47 source-step dispositions, immutable source hashes, original grades,
earlier failures and evidence limits.
The fixed browser driver starts on the company dashboard, follows Agents → New Agent, selects Google Antigravity in the ordinary grid with Advanced collapsed, reuses the saved personal Google subscription, selects the exact low model and Local environment, and runs the native prompt-free Test. Finish must reach actual readiness before task assignment is enabled. It checks the first composer for a stale paused warning, closes that empty composer, saves a nonce only through the agent's Instructions, then submits a task asking for the configured marker without supplying its value. An ordinary follow-up asks the same agent/task to preserve the first line and append a different nonce. Each real file and Done state must remain available after reload.
Selected setup and dependencies
The runnable setup attaches to an existing self-hosted loopback target on the
same macOS ARM64 host. This narrower implementation lets the independent native
observer verify owned process retirement and all three public-checkpoint provider
lifetime fences. .local. identifies agent execution. It does not itself identify
application hosting. Compatible Cloud/staging behavior remains a portability
target, not an implemented or verified remote observer path.
Required existing state:
- A dedicated test company and local execution environment; expected and observed serving commit and deployment mode must match. The harness never resets or restarts an attached target. Its roster already contains a nonterminated agent, so the measured creation is an additional-agent path.
- A dedicated signed-in QA browser profile for the intended board operator, with company agent/instruction/task creation and saved-connection use rights. The normal profile ownership marker and exclusive lock apply; do not use a normal personal Chrome profile.
- The same person's saved managed Google subscription, with its existing personal default grant. The private setup names exact connection, owner, company and environment references. Names alone do not establish the binding.
- A current, finite trusted operator startup admission for that company,
gemini-3.8-flash-low, local darwin-arm64, native version, profile and closure. The config's pins assert provenance; they cannot grant admission. The global release remains pending and closed by default. - Existing operator accounting policy permitting the two task turns, with held and unpriced usage reconciled through its ordinary owner. The harness preserves that policy and the new agent's inherited policy; it creates no agent budget policy or QA override. Missing subscription prices remain unknown.
No MCP connection is required by the browser driver, product agent or independent observer. Native product tools are used by the agent. No API key, mailbox, billing-management credential, fresh Google login or OAuth registration is part of this case. Authentication freshness is saved browser session + saved product connection, not fresh provider consent. Product-managed refresh stays inside the normal managed-account boundary.
After verified native retirement, a refreshed Google credential transfers to the existing encrypted, fsynced recovery journal before database rotation. The next authorized task, Test or model discovery recovers it with the same grant, generation and account checks. A failed journal write or unconfirmed retirement keeps the private home and blocks cleanup; a retry does not grant new authority.
One-time test-drive/bootstrap setup remains the operator's supported workspace
owner responsibility. This suite does not implement a managed-local target
bootstrap, mint candidate authority, install a provider through a test-only path,
or import an operator's CLI credential home. Install the maintained native assets
through paperclipai runtime setup antigravity as the OS user running Paperclip.
Then use the existing product UI to establish the saved account once. Per-attempt
preflight verifies those declared prerequisites; the measured new agent must
remain absent until the visible creation flow.
Private setup file
Create an owner-only regular JSON file outside the repository (chmod 600).
Replace every placeholder with an authorized binding; never put token/cookie,
password, OAuth code or startup authority bytes in it. Relative profileDir is
resolved against this file's directory. The browser must declare signed-in.
If board sign-in needs assistance, use setup-only --antigravity-journey-preflight
to save the dedicated browser session, then start a fresh measured attempt.
A measured attempt that needed assisted sign-in stops before agent or provider
setup and retains a blocked report.

Use authenticated when it is the target's actual deployment mode; do not change
the server to match the example. The maximum whole attempt is 30 minutes and each
turn at most 10 minutes. budgetCents is an observed known-cost stop threshold
(at most 1,000 cents), not a hard currency cap or a product-policy write. It cannot
cap missing prices, unknown subscription charges or already in-flight usage. The
finite execution boundary is one selected case, one attempt, exactly two task
runs, finite deadlines and the startup authority's TTL. Native Test performs
account/model admission and cleanup without a model prompt. An unexpected work
run or inference edge must be recorded, not omitted from accounting.
Commands
Run from the Paperclip repository root, with its normal workspace dependencies installed. The maintained source files own all behavior; no author-local helper script is required. Discovery and credential-free checks do no provider work:
pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list --suite antigravity-agent-journey
pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck
pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit
pnpm test:e2e:runner:browser-support -- antigravity-journey-browser.spec.ts
The browser calibration is included in the canonical browser-support target and uses local fixtures, including the real activity renderer. It checks selectors and stale UI states without an account connection, an agent setup or a provider run; it is separate from live qualification.
Read-only readiness validates the target revision/mode, signed-in consuming identity, exact personal default grant, local environment and candidate catalog. It does not run native Test, create a task or dispatch a provider prompt:
pnpm test:e2e:runner -- \
--id antigravity-agent-journey.runner-antigravity.local.saved-subscription-two-turn \
--antigravity-journey-config /absolute/private/antigravity.json \
--antigravity-journey-preflight \
--max-automatic-retries 0
After readiness, run only the exact authorized cell. A new campaign preserves previous attempts and uses no automatic retry:
pnpm test:e2e:runner -- \
--id antigravity-agent-journey.runner-antigravity.local.saved-subscription-two-turn \
--antigravity-journey-config /absolute/private/antigravity.json \
--max-automatic-retries 0
Campaigns live under
tests/runner-e2e/results/antigravity-journey-<timestamp>-<nonce>/. Retain their
normal result, evidence manifest, checkpoint images, actual byte/hash receipts,
timings, effective setup/revisions, billing and cleanup alongside failures. Run
the normal importer separately to verify a retained report; it makes zero new
model calls. Environment variables, not positional report arguments, select it:
PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_E2E_REPORT_ROOT=/absolute/private/campaign \
PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_E2E_REPORT_OUT=/absolute/private/rebuilt-report \
PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_E2E_EXPECTED_IDS='["antigravity-agent-journey.runner-antigravity.local.saved-subscription-two-turn"]' \
pnpm test:e2e:runner:report
The importer must preserve the attempt verdict, cleanup outcome, duration, known input/output/cache tokens and unknown prices. A rebuilt dashboard is a presentation check, not another provider measurement. Missing final proof cannot be repaired by inventing a screenshot or rewriting an old grade.
If packaging fails, attempt-result.json preserves the primary measurement and
packaging-error.json records the separate reporting failure. Any partially
written result and manifest are copied before the retained presentation is
marked failed with journey_report_packaging_failed. Cleanup, usage and original
screenshots remain available; the normal importer can rebuild that failed
presentation without changing the original outcome or supplying missing proof.
Independent acceptance and retained evidence
Success requires the correct browser controls and persisted object identity,
exact actual downloaded bytes for both distinct run-bound artifacts, requested
and effective low model, same full tagged native conversation, accepted result,
committed finalization and an applied Done decision for each own settlement.
The session-ID equality gate is an observed property of this exact native .5
integration, corroborated by both retained real task checkpoints; it is not a
general ACP invariant.
The first settlement is captured before reopening; later legitimate reassessment
may supersede its current pointer without invalidating that historical lineage.
The final task's visible status and both outputs must survive reload. Narrative
claims, hidden status labels, a matching filename or a stale first artifact do not
satisfy those gates.
Native public lease release, exact owned process absence and reacquisition/release
of all three observed provider fence ports establish local retirement. The
two turns must have different independently captured primary Runner PID/OS-birth
identities, each verified against the exact run and per_turn argv. Their
session-scoped Runner instance ID may remain the same; a different sidecar does
not prove a fresh primary. The observer reads no private database or raw provider
reasoning. Its exact local
target constraint is part of the case, not portable host proof. A genuine failed
finish remains failed while prior successful native file activities stay
completed; the happy path does not deliberately manufacture that rejection.
Synthetic positive/negative/missing-proof controls use the same oracle and normal report boundary. They cover wrong object/run/model/conversation, stale or wrong bytes, incomplete settlement/retirement, missing final screenshot and unknown price preservation. Browser calibration includes hidden duplicate/menu/SVG Done text beside the intended visible task status. Synthetic fixtures establish these gates, not Google behavior or discoverability.
Raw authenticated setup screenshots, concrete account/company/agent/task/native
session identifiers, browser state and ownership receipts stay private. Do not
mark these captures public-runner-fixture, publish original walkthrough HTML,
or copy provider payloads into public evidence. Source aliases and hashes are
safe provenance; any public projection remains the existing sanitizer's allowlist.
Cleanup and interrupted recovery
Before forwarding the ordinary wizard's draft POST unchanged, the campaign
journals only its future setupId, exact company/name/origin, intended harness
and preflight browser-user identity. It does not store the full request body or
credentials. The private journal serializes snapshots, fsyncs a private temporary
file, atomically renames it, and fsyncs its directory; failure aborts forwarding.
The response must match that future ID and creator. If the response is lost,
recovery reads that exact ID, verifies company/name/creator and uniqueness, then
persists the verified ID before cleanup mutations. A pending creation returning
404 remains unconfirmed; a name match alone grants no ownership. Existing
receipts with a known response and no new optional witness remain supported.
The receipt binds target/company, execution/attempt and immutable created
resources before later task dispatch. Cleanup stops only owned active work, verifies
settlement and native retirement, then pauses/removes the owned agent according
to retainAgent. Supplied company/environment/browser identity and saved Google
connection/default grant remain intact and are reverified. It never revokes a
shared credential or resets the target. Retained task history remains inspectable.
Use retainAgent: true for accounted work: cleanup leaves the owned agent paused
and preserves its task and cost history. Purge remains subject to the product's
ledger constraints; the fixture never removes accounting rows to force deletion.
For cancellation before native selection, cleanup instead persists a closed
no-launch receipt from the server's settled preparation and explicit null native
ownership fields, settled accounting, and exact company/run/environment lease.
That lease must have a concrete release timestamp no later than preparation
settlement; expired is accepted only in this no-launch variant. Missing or
pending receipts retain the agent. This branch creates no physical capture proof.
A Test that fails or times out before the product confirms probe retirement leaves its setup probe marked unconfirmed. The harness keeps that agent paused and retained. Public task-run absence cannot prove that a setup probe has retired; recovery needs authoritative proof from the product cleanup owner.
On interruption, preserve the result and receipt first. Recover with the same private target binding and the exact receipt; no name-based broad cleanup:
pnpm test:e2e:runner -- \
--id antigravity-agent-journey.runner-antigravity.local.saved-subscription-two-turn \
--antigravity-journey-config /absolute/private/antigravity.json \
--antigravity-journey-recover /absolute/private/campaign/owned-resources.json \
--max-automatic-retries 0
Recovery validates ownership before stopping recorded/new owned-agent runs or removing its agent. An uncertain mutation is reconciled before retrying. Cleanup failure stays separate from primary failure; late recovery produces a separate receipt without upgrading the original cleanup grade. Do not start another paid attempt while owned work or the browser profile lock remains unresolved.
Verification scope
The source .5 browser walkthrough and independent retained oracle passed on the
declared attended local saved-subscription/low-model candidate. Native instruction
wire receipts were not archived; Instructions-only provenance plus actual file
bytes proves resulting behavior. HTML gallery navigation was blocked by the
host's local-file preview policy and is unverified. Earlier failed/partial .4
and package-admission attempts retain their original grades.
The converted fixed driver, credential-free calibration, fresh live attempt and normal report results are recorded separately in PR/attempt evidence. A registry listing or unit pass does not qualify a live provider. Fresh OAuth, API-key live operation, Cloud, staging/remote targets, other models/platforms, failure controls, reliability repetitions and unattended execution remain outside this selection.
