## Thinking Path > - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work. > - Legacy adapters launch provider CLIs and expose connected tools. > - Existing defaults did not consistently grant full automatic permission. > - Remote Claude used a fixed tool list that omitted MCP tools and future tools. > - Direct Codex launches and OpenCode configuration also used narrower defaults. > - This change gives all these paths the same full-auto default as native runners. > - Explicit restrictive settings continue to work. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #13686. This PR is stacked on that native-runner and task-reassignment PR. Merge #13686 first. Related: #831 (constructed Claude agents), #1935 (adapter-switching permission defaults). ## What Changed - Use actual Claude permission bypass for local and remote runs and probes. Remove the fixed tool list so MCP and future provider tools are included. - Identify actual managed sandbox targets to Claude with `IS_SANDBOX=1`. Do not mark ordinary host execution as a sandbox. - Default direct Codex execution to approval and sandbox bypass, matching agent creation. Preserve explicit false, CLI profiles, sandbox modes, approval policy, and network restrictions. - Set OpenCode's full-auto runtime permission to `allow` for every tool and connection. Preserve the existing explicit opt-out. - Default Gemini probes to the same YOLO mode as execution. Make the legacy ACP `default` alias use `approve-all` for fresh and resumed sessions. - Add default, opt-out, remote, probe, connected-tool, and resume regression tests. Update adapter configuration documentation. - Other adapter paths already request full automatic permission or have no provider approval gate. ## Verification - Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server and legacy ACP tests passed, including defaults, explicit opt-outs, remote launches, connected tools, and fresh/resumed sessions. - Greptile reviewed current head `8ca135eaffcf9cfdba6f1368e896a781a0891d50` at **5/5**. The security reviewer acknowledged the documented full-auto requirement. Acknowledged discussions are resolved. - Current head has **54 passing checks**. [PR checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13693/checks). The process-adapter signoff browser shard passed on one retry after its first attempt exceeded a three-second issue-run wait. - **Six native Claude/Codex real-provider cases passed on their first attempt, with cleanup passing**, against the combined branch: plans, reassignment, and backlog creation/status. [Campaign and downloadable evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548). This does not claim a real-provider run of every legacy adapter. - The live-tested revision is `a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The current head differs only in the corrected heartbeat test expectation; application code is identical. - The campaign result-enforcement job passed. The separate report publisher failed during frozen dependency installation because the trusted workflow's patched-dependency configuration does not match its lockfile. Passing case evidence remains downloadable from the workflow. - Full-suite coverage comes from CI partitions. The separate unsharded local run was stopped after the corresponding CI partitions passed; it is not counted as a completed local run. ## Risks - Missing permission settings now grant all provider operations, including connected tools. OpenCode full-auto also overrides ambient provider permission rules. An explicit Paperclip permission opt-out preserves restrictive behavior. - Claude refuses full bypass as root outside an identified sandbox. Ordinary host deployments must run Claude as a non-root user. Managed sandbox launches include the required marker. - These defaults do not grant additional Paperclip roles, connections, or company access. Existing controller authorization and governance still apply. - This PR depends on #13686. Retarget it to master after that PR merges. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools. The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this session. ## 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>
@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) toremoteDirbefore the run starts. Runs with nogit remoteconfigured.restoreWorkspaceFromSshExecution({ spec, localDir, remoteDir, ... })— syncs the remote cwd back intolocalDirafter the run, including any new commits the agent created. Also runs with nogit remoteconfigured.
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.
