## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - The task chat shows each tool call an agent makes as a short activity row. > - Real Claude runs showed Bash rows named "Terminal" with no command and Write rows stuck at "Preparing file…". No row showed an exit code or a duration, and a tool refused by policy looked like any other failure. > - Codex already reported exit codes, durations and parsed command actions, but the UI dropped them, and every Codex read looked like a shell command. > - This pull request gives both harnesses one row grammar: a verb icon, the real subject, an exit chip and a duration. > - The benefit is that a reviewer can see what ran and how it went without opening each row. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19259 (this branch includes its `_meta` passthrough commit; merge #19259 first or together). **Problem or motivation** Claude tool rows hide what ran: the runner keeps the first ACP title ("Terminal", "Preparing file…") and drops the refined one. `exitCode` and `durationMs` are null on every Claude tool event. The UI ignores `tool.execution.progressed`, `exitCode` and `durationMs` for every harness. **Proposed solution** Read real tool facts in the runner (Claude `_meta.claudeCode`, raw input and result text; Codex `commandActions`), carry them in the canonical tool event, and render one row grammar in the task chat. **Alternatives considered** Enable Claude's `terminal_output` client capability to get `terminal_exit`. That changes how command output arrives, and Claude's own exit code is derived from the error flag anyway, so this PR reads the error flag and the "Exit code N" text instead. ## What Changed - **Runner (TS):** `createAcpxToolEventNormalizer` keeps the latest concrete title instead of the first placeholder. It merges tool facts across the lifecycle and measures the duration. New `acpxToolDetailFromRuntimeEvent` reads the native tool name, the command or pattern, the description, the exit code and a "Permission denied" reason. Exit 0 is inferred only for Claude `Bash`, where a non-zero exit is always a failed result. - **ACPX sidecar:** reads the facts before `rawInput` is dropped and sends a bounded `toolDetail`. A file path argument becomes an attested workspace-relative location. - **runner-core (Rust):** validates `toolDetail`. `normalize_acpx_tool_call` uses the native name, exit code, duration, subject, description and blocked reason. Codex `commandExecution` gets its operation, a single-file target and a subject from `commandActions`. The shell wrapper is removed, and a single search reads as `"TODO" in src`. - **Protocol:** `toolExecution` gains the optional fields `subject`, `description` and `blockedReason`. Generated validators and the manifest are regenerated. - **UI:** - `nativeRunEventsToTranscript` handles `tool.execution.progressed` and passes a canonical `detail` on `tool_call` entries. - The task-chat row shows `$ command`, a path or a pattern, a red `exit N` chip (exit 0 only for commands) and a duration (0 is hidden). - Three or more consecutive reads fold into "Read N files a, b, c +1". - A refused tool shows "Blocked" with its reason. - **Storybook:** `Tasks/Tool rows` compares the data recorded today with the new runner data for Claude and Codex. ## Verification - `cd packages/paperclip-runner && npx vitest run src/provider-events.test.ts src/cli src/drivers/acpx` (1,957 pass) - `cd packages/paperclip-runner/runner && cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib provider_events` - `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/transcript src/components/task-chat` (973 pass) - `pnpm check:token-gates`, `pnpm --filter paperclip-runner build` (includes the protocol coverage and replay-golden checks) - Live runs on a local instance with real harnesses: - Codex (gpt-5.6-sol): the rows read `$ node --test` with `exit 1` and then `exit 0`, plus real durations. A three-file `sed` shows as one command and does not claim a single file. - Claude (claude-sonnet-5-5 through ACPX): the rows show `Bash` and `Edit` instead of "Terminal" and "Preparing file…". Commands show their real text, `exit 0` and durations, and edits show `Edited temp.js`. - Not seen live: a real Claude `Write`, a folded read run and a Claude policy denial. Unit and Rust tests cover them. ## Risks - The tool-execution schema gains only optional fields, so older events stay valid. Older runs keep rendering with what they recorded. - Commands now cross the sidecar boundary as `subject` (bounded to 4,000 characters). Codex already recorded commands as the tool name, and server redaction still applies. - The tool lifecycle now keeps the latest concrete title. A provider that retitles a call to something less useful would show the newer title. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) in Claude Code, with tool use, code execution and browser automation. ## 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 - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [ ] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
PRP v1/v2 Contract
The JSON Schema files in schemas/ are the language-neutral source of truth for
Paperclip Runner Protocol versions 1 and 2. The fixtures in fixtures/ define
accepted and rejected compatibility cases.
Compatibility
protocolVersion,fixtureVersion, andevent.schemaVersionare required.- A consumer fails closed when a required version or schema discriminator is not supported.
- A v1 envelope can contain an unknown optional property when its schema marks that object as extensible.
- A consumer ignores an unknown optional property until a later contract gives it meaning.
- A required field, enum value, or typed structured-input field is not optional.
- Question and answer identifiers are stable across the provider boundary.
- Peers negotiate the highest mutually supported protocol version. Existing v1 runners remain compatible but cannot receive v2-only session-goal commands.
The unknown-optional-fields.json fixture must be accepted. The
unsupported-required-version.json fixture must be rejected.
Session goals (v2)
PRP v2 adds a provider-neutral durable session-goal lifecycle. Every v2
capability snapshot includes sessionGoals, even when its availability is
unsupported or policy_disabled. Paperclip sends controls only when the
negotiated capability advertises the corresponding action.
Commands:
session.goal.getsession.goal.setfor objective, status, and optional token budget changessession.goal.clear
Events:
session.capabilities.updatedsession.goal.snapshotsession.goal.updatedsession.goal.cleared
Goal state is separate from Paperclip's company/business goal hierarchy. The
snapshot distinguishes the durable status from workingNow, because an active
goal can be idle between autonomous turns. A runner emits the full capability
and authoritative snapshot after every session open or resume. Missing v1
capability is unsupported; clients do not infer support from an adapter name.
Harness credential updates
auth.credentials.updated is a P0 runner event available in the v1, v2, and v3 event
schemas. Its payload uses paperclip.auth.credentials.updated.v1 and contains
only provider, bindingId, revision, and detection. No tokens, account
identifiers, credential paths, or credential fingerprints are permitted.
An updated consumer opts in with observeCredentials: true in run.prepare,
before session.open. The bundled runner transport opts in for fresh sessions;
set its observeCredentials option to false to disable observation for a
fresh session. Older hosts that omit the field receive no new event. Consumers
must update their schemas before opting in: an event-enum addition is not an
unknown optional property. Existing runner binaries ignore the optional flag
and do not provide observation; absence of an event does not establish support.
The current Unix runner observes native Codex's managed CODEX_HOME/auth.json
and the Codex/Grok ACPX session homes. It uses a non-recursive directory watch
plus a one-second polling fallback, so atomic file replacement is handled.
Grok's initial inline subscription credential is the baseline, allowing a
refresh during launcher startup to be detected. A first valid credential file
without a prior baseline establishes the baseline without claiming a refresh.
Account identity changes also emit updates, even when token values stay the
same, and establish the baseline for later refreshes on the new account.
Hosts must evaluate the current credential through their private credential
channel and account checks; the event does not authorize an account switch.
Metadata-only changes, partial writes, and deletion do not emit updates.
Unsupported harnesses and refreshes retained only in memory need
their own observer or native-hook integration; adding this event does not make
them observable.
bindingId: "harness-auth" identifies the selected harness authentication
within the envelope's normalized session. Revisions increase for that binding
and survive runner restarts and warm run attachments. The baseline fingerprint
and pending event are persisted together in a private runner state file. Source
retries retain the same event identity until the durable PRP outbox accepts it.
Hosts should commit an idempotent reaction or durable work item through
onCommittedEvent before returning and advancing the cumulative ACK.
The bundled transport exposes onCredentialsUpdated(event) for this commit.
It awaits the callback before ACK, including during warm idle, attachment, and
provider cleanup. Callback failures leave delivery unacknowledged for retry;
callbacks must therefore deduplicate by the original source event identity.
When configured, credential updates bypass the turn notification queue.
Paperclip commits them directly to the run log in a separate credential source
namespace, preserving the original PRP envelope and avoiding collisions with
the driver's normalized event sequence. A turn-only notification consumer
cannot reliably handle idle or cleanup updates; use this callback instead.
detection: "credential_store" reports an observed credential change, not proof
that an OAuth refresh succeeded. Multiple changes between observations can be
coalesced; this is not an audit of every refresh exchange. The schema also
allows native_hook for integrations with an explicit signal. Observation
continues during warm idle and checks at turn terminal and close boundaries,
including Grok's private refresh handoff after live-store cleanup. Retained
runner observations enter the durable outbox before a suspend or shutdown
command completes, without draining the provider backlog. A final check after
provider cleanup also enters the outbox and waits for the host ACK. The runner
retains its terminal recovery fence if that delivery fails.
The event authorizes no credential access or write on its own. A host that needs rotated token values must use a separately authorized handoff with its existing account-identity and freshness safeguards. The default Paperclip credential copy-back behavior remains in place.
Scope
The first provider descriptor and adapter fixture cover Codex only. The schemas for provider-neutral events and semantic receipts do not enable those actions. Discovery and authorization are separate contracts.
The conformance manifest records every source file and its SHA-256 digest. Run
pnpm generate:protocol-manifest from this package after a source change. CI
runs the same generator with --check to reject drift. This check also compiles
the JSON Schemas and validates every replay, question, and cross-language
conformance fixture against its declared schema.
The files in fixtures/replay/golden/ are deterministic reducer oracles. Each
accepted replay fixture has a complete session snapshot and a compact parity
summary. pnpm generate:replay-goldens updates them after an intentional
reducer change; package build and CI fail when they drift.
The files in fixtures/local-runner/scripts/ drive the package-local fake
harness. They cover successful, failed, interrupted, interactive, duplicate
terminal, process-cleanup, and oversized-frame behavior without starting a
production adapter.
runtime.activity.recorded is a P1 Runner event in v1, v2 and v3 with exactly
{ namespace, activityKey }. Both opaque identifiers contain 1–160 Unicode code
points and exclude C0 controls and DEL. namespace groups a producer's activity
types; activityKey names an activity within that group. Consumers use the pair
to select a response to activity in the run. The authenticated outer envelope
provides run and session identity, source sequence and emission time. Core resolves
the run's company, task and agent through its existing authorized run binding;
callers cannot supply those identities in the payload. Recording activity does
not independently verify the reported action or grant access to any resource.
The event uses the ordinary durable outbox, acknowledgement and replay contract.
Local clients capture an opaque context with paperclip-runnerd notification-context
before an operation and invoke record-activity CONTEXT NAMESPACE ACTIVITY_KEY
after success. Runner publishes its matching absolute executable as host-owned
PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_NOTIFICATION_HELPER and the stable endpoint descriptor path
as PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_NOTIFICATION_CONTEXT. Configured task environment cannot
override either value. Context is invalidated on warm attachment and process
recovery, so a caller cannot attribute a later completion to a different run.
