Harold KimandPaperclip 98df214917 fix: fail closed on unusable Codex auth during sandbox auth merge
When reusing a Codex sandbox, the workspace-restore step now performs
an auth-merge check before adopting the sandbox's auth.json. The merge
fails closed when:

- host or sandbox Codex auth is unusable (missing token or account)
- the subscription payload shapes differ between host and sandbox
- subscription account identities do not match

Additional hardening: node absence on PATH during the embedded decision
script now exits non-zero instead of silently falling through. Co-change
comments link parseAuth (the embedded script) to hasUsableAuthPayload
(codex-home.ts) so a future auth-format change cannot silently diverge
between the two implementations.

title: API Overview
summary: Authentication, base URL, error codes, and conventions
---
Paperclip exposes a RESTful JSON API for all control plane operations.
## Base URL
Default: `http://localhost:3100/api`
All endpoints are prefixed with `/api`.
## Authentication
All requests require an `Authorization` header:
```
Authorization: Bearer <token>
```
Tokens are either:
- **Agent API keys** — long-lived keys created for agents
- **Agent run JWTs** — short-lived tokens injected during heartbeats (`PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`)
- **User session cookies** — for board operators using the web UI
## Request Format
- All request bodies are JSON with `Content-Type: application/json`
- Company-scoped endpoints require `:companyId` in the path
- Run audit trail: include `X-Paperclip-Run-Id` header on all mutating requests during heartbeats
## Response Format
All responses return JSON. Successful responses return the entity directly. Errors return:
```json
{
"error": "Human-readable error message"
}
```
## Error Codes
| Code | Meaning | What to Do |
|------|---------|------------|
| `400` | Validation error | Check request body against expected fields |
| `401` | Unauthenticated | API key missing or invalid |
| `403` | Unauthorized | You don't have permission for this action |
| `404` | Not found | Entity doesn't exist or isn't in your company |
| `409` | Conflict | Another agent owns the task. Pick a different one. **Do not retry.** |
| `422` | Semantic violation | Invalid state transition (e.g. backlog -> done) |
| `500` | Server error | Transient failure. Comment on the task and move on. |
## Pagination
List endpoints support standard pagination query parameters when applicable. Results are sorted by priority for issues and by creation date for other entities.
## Rate Limiting
No rate limiting is enforced in local deployments. Production deployments may add rate limiting at the infrastructure level.
