DottaandClaude Fable 5 8c46620678 Fall back to Codex CLI when ACP rejects session configuration
A codex_local agent configured with a manual model id (e.g. gpt-5.5-pro)
failed every ACP-lane run with acpx_session_config_failed: codex-acp
validates session/set_config_option values against its internal model
list and rejects ids it does not advertise (ACP -32602), even though the
Codex CLI lane accepts manual model ids via --model.

The existing ACP->CLI fallback only covered thrown startup errors, not
structured failed results from the configure_session phase. Auto-selected
ACP now falls back to the CLI lane when the ACP server rejects session
configuration, preserving the configured model/effort/fast-mode via
startup args. Explicit engine=acp remains strict and fails loudly.

@paperclipai/adapter-utils

Shared utilities for Paperclip adapters: process spawning, environment injection, sandbox/SSH transport, workspace sync, and the round-trip helpers that move code between the local execution-workspace cwd and wherever the agent actually runs.

For the adapter-author guide see docs/adapters/creating-an-adapter.md and the in-repo notes at packages/adapters/AUTHORING.md.

No-remote-git contract

The local execution-workspace cwd is the only persistence boundary across runs. No adapter may depend on a git remote for cross-run state.

Adapters that run the agent on a different host should use the SSH round-trip helpers in src/ssh.ts:

  • prepareWorkspaceForSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir }) — bundles the local cwd (tracked files, dirty edits, untracked additions, and the git history needed to reconstruct it) to remoteDir before the run starts. Runs with no git remote configured.
  • restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... }) — syncs the remote cwd back into localDir after the run, including any new commits the agent created. Also runs with no git remote configured.

prepareRemoteManagedRuntime in src/remote-managed-runtime.ts wraps both calls for adapters that want a per-run remote workspace and an automatic restoreWorkspace() finally hook.

The invariant is pinned by the no-remote-git contract case in src/ssh-fixture.test.ts, which asserts that a remote-only commit propagates to the local worktree through the prepare → restore round-trip with no git remote configured at any point. Do not regress that test.
