## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Native agents use assigned connection tools through a governed gateway. > - OpenCode received the gateway catalog directly, outside the bounded server tool projection. > - A large catalog can exceed a provider grammar compiler's capacity even when it fits the transport limits. > - Synthetic requests reproduced the Fireworks grammar timeout on the configured DeepSeek model. > - This pull request gives OpenCode two assigned-tool discovery and call schemas through the existing server relay. > - The gateway keeps the same grants, validation, approvals, revocation, and audit rules. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** A native OpenCode run could fail during provider grammar compilation before its first assigned-tool call. OpenCode advertised the full assigned gateway catalog. A synthetic catalog of 741 tool schemas reproduced `Grammar processing took too much time` on Fireworks through OpenRouter with `deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1017`. The same model and backend accepted a compact two-tool discovery/call catalog. This reproduces the mechanism; it does not replay a historical private request. **Expected behavior** Assigned-tool discovery must keep provider grammar size bounded. Every call must retain the run's original gateway binding and permissions. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Give a native OpenCode run a large assigned connection catalog. 2. Use a provider that compiles tool schemas into a constrained output grammar. 3. Observe the full catalog in the provider tool surface before this change. 4. After this change, observe only `paperclip_search_assigned_tools` and `paperclip_call_assigned_tool` for assigned tools. Discover and call a permitted tool through its pinned alias. **Paperclip version or commit** Source checkout based on current `master`. **Deployment mode** Native local or sandbox execution with OpenCode 1.18.34. Related work: Refs #14258 (discovery paging), #16678 (local adapter MCP launch), and #17688 (gateway capability advertisement). This change covers native OpenCode catalog projection. ## What Changed - Route native OpenCode assigned tools through the existing server-owned authenticated relay. - Use bounded discovery/call schemas for OpenCode, including small catalogs. Preserve transport capacity checks. - Keep assigned gateway credentials on the controller. Ignore gateway and credential values in tool arguments. - Preserve exact declared MCP operation names through admission and driver dispatch. Resolve transport prefixes only against the closed catalog. Reject unknown or shortened names. - Refresh former OpenCode direct-catalog and shortened-name checkpoints. Keep the existing fingerprints for other providers. - Add local and remote wiring, catalog capacity, alias, scope, work-mode, approval, and revocation tests. - Allow the native test files to use a validated dedicated external test database when embedded PostgreSQL is unavailable. - Document the assigned-tool execution contract. - Bound OpenCode discovery pages to 32 KiB and large-schema chunks to 16K characters. Keep other harness budgets unchanged. - Test medium pages and escaped large schemas through the actual HTTP MCP bridge on the explicit Runner testing surface. ## Verification - Red before the catalog fix: OpenCode did not create the server relay, and forced compact delivery advertised 1 or 741 direct schemas. - Red before the alias repair: HTTP MCP changed declared operation names, and the driver sent `search_assigned_tools` instead of the authorized `paperclip_search_assigned_tools`. - Current repair tests: 112 OpenCode/proxy tests pass, plus one actual Rust/proxy/HTTP MCP regression. Two checkpoint regressions fail with the former scoped revision and pass with the new revision. Other providers keep their prior fingerprints. - The combined QA candidate with this exact PR head passes all 916 native tests and all 113 transport tests on supported Node 24.22. An earlier Node 26.4/macOS run passed the 113 assertions but had an uncaught networking error. That non-clean run remains recorded; its stack matches [the upstream Undici defect](https://github.com/nodejs/undici/issues/5544). No production workaround or error suppression was added. - `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `git diff --check` pass on `bc41ba72be2195eabeb0d7727227ee0cd02e8532`. The maps structural check passes. - The local `pnpm test:run` attempt stopped after host embedded PostgreSQL initialization failures. The relevant database suites pass with isolated PostgreSQL 18. All repository CI gates, including aggregate `ci / verify`, pass on the current head. - Synthetic live provider comparison: 741 invented schemas produced the exact Fireworks grammar timeout in 20.9 seconds. Two compact invented schemas produced a discovery call in 585 ms on the same model and backend. - The first hosted QA attempt exposed the alias failure described above. On the patched source, a real local Rust runner → proxy → OpenCode 1.18.34 → exact DeepSeek smoke completed discovery, one synthetic gateway read, and `paperclip_finish`, then emitted `turn/completed`. It used the production compact projection and unchanged Rust allowlist. - Two earlier local smoke attempts exposed missing terminal authority and completion-contract fields in the smoke harness. Those failures remain recorded. The corrected ordinary bindings produced the clean result. - Fresh Greptile: 5/5 on `bc41ba72be2195eabeb0d7727227ee0cd02e8532`, with no new actionable findings or unresolved threads. - Hosted QA publication and lifecycle acceptance remain pending. The separate deployed-agent `Paperclip Review` check is also pending; it follows a task that failed on the earlier deployed runtime. - Local OpenCode/OpenRouter acceptance at `bc41ba72`: 530 synthetic tools were authorized and installed. A simple model-ID reply completed in 17.3 seconds with no app calls. A discovery task completed in 37.6 seconds, used the search/call relay, made one upstream call, and returned the exact synthetic value. This is local source acceptance, not a staging sandbox timing comparison. - The large-result review finding has a failing-before/passing-after HTTP MCP regression. Five medium schemas now page without invalid JSON. A large schema with escaped text reconstructs exactly through bounded chunks. All 35 assigned-tool tests and the server typecheck pass after this follow-up. - Final head `d84ce4856a6e65a35ad5fb8b561492598b525f4e`: all CI gates pass. Greptile and Paperclip Review both rate the change 5/5. No review threads remain open. The final full build, server typecheck, and 35 assigned-tool tests pass locally. ## Risks - OpenCode uses discovery before it calls an assigned tool, including for small catalogs. This can add a model turn. - An existing OpenCode provider checkpoint rotates once because it retains the former tool declarations. Paperclip task history remains available. - The historical filtered catalog was not captured. The synthetic comparison proves the failure mechanism, not the exact cardinality of an earlier private request. - No model, provider route, permission, or automatic retry policy changes. ## Model Used The bounded-result follow-up also used OpenAI Codex (GPT-6 family). The exact backend model ID and context-window size were not exposed for that session. It used reasoning, code execution, and tool use. OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` in Codex, with reasoning, tool use, code execution, and source inspection. The runtime does not expose the 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 - [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>

Runner discovery exposes supportedRunners and defaultRunner; it describes
qualified selection, not successful authentication or task execution. Native
Claude retains existing account grants and company/responsible-user boundaries.
Source: adapter discovery.
Gaps: Raw instance adapter listing requires board, while company model discovery exists for eligible agents.
Scoped source-only evidence: adapter discovery
reports supported runners/effective default for the selected company/environment;
selection policy reads
server-owned immutable sandbox facts without provisioning. New Codex defaults
and explicit overrides follow the shared runner contract;
Claude follows its qualified rollout described above. The board inventory does not grant a
native agent an equivalent discovery binding. See
probe restrictions for acquiring qualification.
OpenCode now follows the qualified native default without the experimental
flag on macOS and GNU/Linux x64; Linux ARM64 retains Legacy. An explicit
provider/model is required for test/hire; only server-owned
inactive setup drafts may omit it. Saved runners and permission/lifecycle
policies remain authoritative. Actor/company checks and board-only discovery
remain unchanged. This is scoped source/control evidence for OpenCode selection,
not live provider execution or agent authorization proof.
Pi follows the same supported platform/default and model-free inactive-draft
boundary, with explicit pinned-runtime setup required on the execution host.
Native ACPX Pi is admitted with the generic flag off. Existing direct Pi agents
remain Legacy; saved native policies remain authoritative. Incompatible thinking,
launch, permission, or lifecycle settings return remediation on conversion.
Managed Pi accounts accept OpenRouter routing and matching OpenAI, Anthropic,
Google, or OpenRouter API-key models. Subscription methods and custom gateways
remain excluded for Pi. Selection keeps the existing company, user, grant, and
agent-install checks; runtime preparation clears alternate credentials and rejects
custom Pi provider overrides. This adds no cross-company access or runtime installation API.
An absent forced-Kubernetes environment is an unqualified sandbox target, never
a local target. Discovery and automatic creation keep the Legacy path without
provisioning it; explicit Paperclip selection returns qualification guidance.
The existing execution path owns lazy environment creation. Saved runners remain
unchanged. This is source/control evidence, not live Kubernetes qualification.
validation
Capability ID: runs-adapters/validation.
Review: baseline.
API: present — representative operation IDs:
POST /api/companies/{companyId}/adapters/{type}/test-environment.
Agent access: partial — Permitted agent-creation validation through REST / native
call_api / CLI; account login requires its operator.
Policy: Run/cost visibility and agent configuration policy; adapter installation/account login/session control require board/admin.
Evidence: source-only — implementation at
the reviewed commit above.
Verification: not-run — exercise a listed permitted operation with actual agent
credentials/run context; inspect its result and applicable persistence/attribution.
Assert the relevant denied actor, owner, company or mode from Policy. Review the
remaining operations before qualifying the whole capability.
Gaps: Environment test path checks creation/configuration policy; missing provider auth must use its owner setup flow.
Scoped source-only Claude CLI preparation: both the selected environment test
and normal CLI execution use
versioned sandbox preparation.
An outdated default sandbox command can use a private pinned compatible CLI;
local, SSH and custom commands are not replaced. The selected model, engine,
account and existing actor/company checks remain authoritative. Installer
failure cannot turn an incompatible CLI into a passing probe. Local subprocess
controls exercise version checks and installer outcomes; live agent and
subscription access are not-run for this change.
Scoped Legacy Codex shell delivery: resolved task configuration can explicitly
assign service-secret variables to shell tools through ACP or CLI execution.
The existing configuration and secret-access checks still authorize that binding;
the shell allowlist grants no extra company or vault access. Codex login keys,
observability credentials, private runtime transport credentials, and unassigned
host secrets retain their separate paths. Source/control evidence:
shared shell policy
and the adapter executor regressions. Live delivery remains a separate check
under runs-adapters/validation.
Scoped source review: test authorization and resolution
requires same-company agents:create, saved-agent update access when supplied,
allowed environment selection, and normal secret/responsible-user checks. An
unchanged saved runner avoids new-creation policy but still receives selected
runtime validation. Native readiness
tests native Codex startup/model/account and bounded teardown; an authentication
or Legacy CLI check cannot replace that runtime evidence. Missing dependencies,
credentials, invalid models and incompatible settings fail without silently
changing runners. Account login remains board/owner-bound.
Scoped artifact-preparation source evidence: native preparation can overlap runner and default image-harness work only when the selected command runner declares concurrent sync support. Current executable hash, metadata, transport, and final-path checks still precede dispatch. The caller waits for both operations on failure. Explicit harness uploads and npm installs remain serial. This changes no API or agent grant. The real-shell controls do not qualify the whole validation capability or a live response-time target.
Scoped backend-preparation source evidence: remote native Codex can prepare its managed GitHub transport during fresh assigned-MCP discovery. The session claim, wake binding, review assignment and complete gateway launch binding checks still precede that work. Provider startup waits for both results. Failures drain both operations before the existing run cleanup releases any created GitHub access. No grant, token, authority cache or provider dispatch bypass is added. The executor controls remain separate from live latency and permitted/denied agent acceptance.
Scoped OpenCode assigned-tool source evidence: local and remote native sessions
use the server-owned authenticated relay. The provider sees bounded
paperclip_search_assigned_tools and paperclip_call_assigned_tool schemas,
then uses pinned aliases. Search intersects fresh grants and work modes; calls
retain the run's original gateway policy, validation, approvals, revocation and
audit path. Prompt arguments cannot select gateway authority. Assigned gateway
launch credentials stay on the controller. Former direct-catalog OpenCode
checkpoints refresh; other provider fingerprints stay unchanged. The
projection controls
and wiring controls
are source evidence, not live permitted/denied sandbox acceptance.
For a linked Codex subscription with server-resolved managed credential provenance,
setup checks the resolved owner and stages a private probe copy before local or
remote isolation. Without a selected API key, an unbound linked CODEX_HOME is
rejected with explicit Legacy
or managed-account guidance. Caller configuration cannot supply that provenance. Selected CODEX_API_KEY and
OPENAI_API_KEY authentication skips unrelated subscription reads and refresh
bindings, matching task materialization. The fake-credential controls verify key
precedence without changing the account source or exposing either credential.
The general native
home materializer retains its no-follow symlink guard. Refresh still targets the
checked account source, and confirmed bounded retirement removes its private
copy. Unconfirmed retirement retains the existing cleanup block and owned state.
Failures before probe handoff remove only the owned temporary preparation root;
local daemon resolution occurs before credential staging. Once a probe is handed
off, unconfirmed retirement still retains its recovery state.
Existing fake-credential setup controls
exercise linked/regular sources and failure cleanup. This adds no credential-read
API, agent login authority or cross-company account access. Its source-only
evidence does not qualify a live permitted/denied agent operation.
Verification for this scope remains not-run: use an admitted agent REST/CLI
validation path, assert missing grants and cross-company targets/accounts are
denied, then prove the useful task/follow-up separately. hire_agent inherits its
caller's runtime; do not assume its binding accepts arbitrary runner or account
settings. See creation access.
runs
Capability ID: runs-adapters/runs.
Review: baseline.
Scoped source-only timing evidence: workspace preparation spans carry only the existing hashed run ID. Controller startup phase spans carry no custom attributes. Native controller setup and settlement phases use that same run hash, including assigned MCP discovery; neither tool definitions nor credentials are recorded. Both retain operator-controlled tracing; unconfigured clients stay silent. The native first-text span ends after text is committed for the existing run-events reader, including reasoning and completed responses. It exports only the bounded text kind and timing, with no text content or new agent access. This adds no agent API, credential access, run-log write, or recovery authority. See the tracing contract. Live latency verification remains separate from the existing access baseline.
API: present — representative operation IDs:
GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}.GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}/log(optionalalignStartToRecord=trueextends a tail backward to its first complete record; this can exceedlimitBytesby that record's prefix and retains the same access/redaction checks).GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}/events(optionalview=conversationreturns assistant messages and request lifecycles through the same access/redaction checks;afterSeqremains a sequence cursor).GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}/workspace-operations.GET /api/heartbeat-runs/{runId}/issues.GET /api/companies/{companyId}/heartbeat-runs.GET /api/companies/{companyId}/live-runs.GET /api/issues/{id}/runs.GET /api/issues/{id}/recovery-actions.
Agent access: available — REST / native call_api / CLI run, plus the listed
read-only paths through the default queue and HTTP/2 sandbox callback bridge.
The sandbox uses its injected run credential. See
run diagnostics and the
activity access contract.
Policy: Same company, company-scope read authority and run/task visibility still apply. Task-bound history and recovery records require task read authority. Each run-linked task is filtered by the caller's task-read predicate; a readable company run cannot expose inaccessible private task titles. Existing content and credential redaction apply. Adapter installation, account login, session control, recovery writes and raw provider-trace administration retain their existing board/admin or dedicated-tool gates.
Evidence: source-only — diagnostic scope reviewed at
f10210990a3c9cad1a4359318388f237de3169dd in the
bridge route list,
run routes,
task-link route, and
private-run regression suite.
Verification: not-run for a live sandbox using the updated routes. Bridge and
controller fixtures cover permitted reads, denied writes, redaction and private
task-link filtering. After deployment, verify with an actual run identity and
assert foreign-company, private-task and restricted-mode denial. Source review,
board reads and skipped fixtures do not qualify that live path.
Gaps: Provider trace reveals/downloads require instance-admin and cannot be counted as ordinary run output access. The new bridge surface does not qualify retry, cancellation, workspace repair or session-control access. Deployed diagnostic usefulness remains unverified.
session
Capability ID: runs-adapters/session.
Review: baseline.
API: present — representative operation IDs:
POST /api/agents/{id}/runtime-state/reset-session.GET /api/agents/{id}/task-sessions.
Agent access: restricted — Board session controls; native server-owned session
continuation.
Policy: Run/cost visibility and agent configuration policy; adapter installation/account login/session control require board/admin.
Evidence: source-only — implementation at
the reviewed commit above.
Verification: not-run — assert the documented agent denial with an owned test fixture;
verify any listed agent request/result path separately. A delegated operation needs its
own policy and access review.
Gaps: Task-session listing and execution-context reset require board agent
management at their HTTP routes. Native call_api preserves these denials; native
continuation remains server-owned.
Scoped source evidence: replacement of a workspace may bootstrap a newly admitted provider session only with matching current run/runner/lease identity, no prior activity or backup, and an atomic claim of an absent remote session directory. Existing sessions retain verified restore. This adds no reset or cleanup authority. Follow the session recipe with a board-owned disposable fixture; live provider and actor-access evidence remain separate from the executor regressions.
Scoped source-only evidence: configuration changes and native execution/recovery retain existing execution on unrelated edits and use recorded run configuration for active/recovered runs. Explicit runner changes use revisions and session invalidation. Verify saved configuration, current versus historical run identity, restart and follow-up without granting session-reset authority to an agent.
Scoped source review: 2026-10-13, the recovery correction against
ea6c8eb5e16d61111968f633a66748b397b64a3e reuses
completed onboarding handoff validation
before applying the issue-terminal backstop. The company, parent origin/status,
assignee, completed child and remaining children must match. Only that backstop
is suppressed for the validated report; process-death and controller/native
ownership checks still apply. No agent gains session or recovery control.
PostgreSQL regressions cover valid native/Legacy callbacks and rejected bindings;
revised live execution and actor authorization remain not-run.
Scoped source-only evidence: configuration changes and native execution/recovery retain existing execution on unrelated edits and use recorded run configuration for active/recovered runs. Explicit runner changes use revisions and session invalidation. Verify saved configuration, current versus historical run identity, restart and follow-up without granting session-reset authority to an agent.
Scoped Evidence: source-only — the
native transport
joins owned startup before certifying cleanup. Rejected duplicates cannot replace
that owner or mutate recovery state. Unconfirmed preparation or registration
retains recovery state; late registration may release only its own route and
cannot launch after close. Shutdown interrupts readiness without granting
authority over an unauthenticated adopted process.
Scoped Verification: not-run — verify allowed/denied access using the actual
actor independently from the credential-free ownership controls. This correction
adds no account-setup, cleanup-override or session-reset authority. The real native
readiness/recovery fixtures and installed provider acceptance remain separate gates.
Scoped shutdown source review: 2026-10-14, against literal
651a3de64fc943216cc414b64b1443809f9499da. The suspension barrier bounds remote
state reads by its remaining deadline and rejects late proof. Intentional
provider ingress shutdown
joins physical socket closure and retires the connection owner before endpoint
release. Unconfirmed termination stays blocked. Existing fake-peer and delayed
read controls are source evidence; this changes no actor, company, account or
session-reset permission. Operation-level verification remains not-run and
the failed Test setup does not qualify successful live cleanup.
