## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - AI Connections store reusable provider credentials with company and owner boundaries. > - Self-hosted instances can require board authentication while running agents on the local server. > - The login UI treated those instances as unsupported and displayed instructions without a command. > - Removing that restriction must not expose the server operator's existing CLI account. > - This pull request enables owner-scoped login attempts and reuses the existing login UI. > - Users can connect Codex and Claude subscriptions on an authenticated self-hosted instance. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** On an authenticated self-hosted instance, OpenAI subscription setup displayed terminal instructions with no command and a disabled Connect button. Claude also could not complete the local connection flow. **Expected behavior** An authorized board user can prepare an isolated sign-in attempt, sign in on the server, and save the verified account as a Connection. This must not import another user's or the operator's ambient credentials. **Steps to reproduce** Run Paperclip in authenticated mode with a local environment. Open Connections, choose OpenAI or Anthropic, and select Subscription. The previous UI never enabled local login preparation. Related: #13247, #13248, and #10751. This fix preserves the restriction on remote access to the operator's ambient Claude login. ## What Changed - Allow company-authorized users to create, check, cancel, and complete their own isolated local login attempts. - Keep ambient Claude credential import restricted to the local operator. - Support isolated Claude credential files without falling back to the host account or mutating process-wide environment variables. - Use Codex device authorization so sign-in does not depend on a browser callback to the remote server's localhost. - Gate server-host login on authenticated public deployments unless a trusted runtime host is configured. Publish the capability through health so setup shows supported alternatives. - Read isolated Claude credential files through bounded, descriptor-bound opens with ownership, permission, and symlink checks. Try the alternate filename after malformed JSON. - Reuse shared login instructions and lifecycle hooks in onboarding, agent setup, and Connections. Show health-query failures explicitly. - Document authenticated self-hosted behavior and add authorization, isolation, lifecycle, and UI regression tests. ## Verification - Passed 71 focused tests across connection routes, credential isolation, legacy compatibility, the shared login hook, and agent setup. - Passed 89 onboarding regression tests. - Passed `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, Storybook build, and `pnpm check:token-gates`. - Completed real Codex device authorization and Claude browser authorization on an authenticated Linux self-hosted instance. Both accounts were detected automatically and saved as Connected. Both completed attempt directories were removed. - These live checks cover login, credential validation, and connection creation. They do not establish a new model execution or long-running refresh result. - Review follow-up: 68 focused checks passed after rerunning one route socket error; the full route/health rerun passed all 49 tests. The 70-test onboarding suite also passed. Final workspace typecheck, production build, and Storybook build passed again. - The broad local run exposed an instance-name assumption in two new assertions. The fixture now uses an explicit non-default instance, and all 32 connection tests passed with a different inherited instance name. The superseded broad run was stopped; this is not a claim that the full local suite completed. Full CI results will be recorded before merge. ## Risks - The server must have the provider CLI installed. Users still run the displayed command on the server that hosts Paperclip. - Authorization checks must keep login attempts scoped to the company, owner, provider, and reconnect target. Regression tests cover cross-user and cross-company access. - Existing local-trusted Claude behavior stays available. Authenticated remote users cannot use its ambient import path. - No database migration, dependency change, agent binding change, or provider routing change is included. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code execution, and browser tools. The runtime does not expose a more specific model version or context-window size. ## 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 - [ ] 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>
