Devin Foley 4c062a0eb2 fix(ui): stop coercing imported agents to the destination CEO adapter (#11192)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company import lets an operator bring a package of agents into an
instance, and each agent declares which adapter runs it (Claude Code,
Codex, and so on)
> - The export and the server importer preserve each agent's adapter
faithfully, but the Import page seeds an adapter override for every
agent with the destination CEO's adapter before the user touches
anything
> - Every imported agent therefore arrives as the CEO's adapter (usually
Claude Code) even when the source package holds a mix, and the picker
shows the coerced value as if it were the source's, so nothing looks
wrong
> - This pull request makes the manifest adapter the default, sends
overrides only for agents the user actually changed, and replaces the
silent coercion with an explicit per-agent fallback warning when the
destination truly lacks the source adapter
> - The benefit is that a mixed Claude/Codex team imports as a mixed
Claude/Codex team, and any real adapter gap is visible instead of silent

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A user imported a company package whose agents were a mix of Claude Code
and Codex on the source instance. After the import, every agent was
configured as Claude Code. The import preview showed no sign that
anything had been changed. Cause: the Import page initializes its
adapter-override map by assigning every agent the destination CEO's
adapter type and sends that override for every agent, overriding the
manifest's per-agent adapter server-side. For imports into a new
company, the "CEO adapter" is read from whichever unrelated company is
currently selected.

**Expected behavior**

Imported agents keep the adapter declared in the package. An override is
sent only when the operator explicitly picks a different adapter, or
when the source adapter is not installed on the destination — and in
that case the page must say so per agent, not silently substitute.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On a source instance, create a company with one Claude Code agent and
one Codex agent, and export it.
2. Import the package on another instance whose CEO uses Claude Code,
changing nothing in the import dialog.
3. Both agents arrive configured as Claude Code; the Codex identity is
gone.

## What Changed

- The preview no longer seeds adapter overrides; the override map starts
empty, and the picker displays each agent's manifest adapter
(`ui/src/pages/CompanyImport.tsx`).
- `buildFinalAdapterOverrides` sends an entry only when the effective
adapter differs from the manifest or the agent's adapter config was
edited — untouched agents flow through with no override.
- The page fetches the destination's installed adapters (existing
`adaptersApi.list()` client). When a manifest adapter is missing or
disabled on the destination, only that agent defaults to the CEO's
adapter, with a visible amber warning naming both adapters. If the
adapters request fails, the page fails open: manifest adapters are kept
and no coercion happens.
- Tests: untouched mixed-adapter import sends no overrides; a
user-changed agent sends exactly one; a missing destination adapter
produces the fallback plus rendered warning for that agent only; an
adapters-endpoint failure produces no coercion.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run ui/src/pages/CompanyImport.test.tsx` — 19 passed (15
pre-existing + 4 new).
- `pnpm --filter ./ui typecheck` (`tsc -b`) — clean.

## Risks

- Behavior change: users who previously relied on the silent conversion
(importing packages that reference adapters they don't have) now get an
explicit per-agent fallback with a warning — same outcome, visible. The
server's hard rejection of unknown adapter types remains the backstop
for API callers.
- UI-only change; no server or schema impact.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`) via Claude Code CLI, with extended
thinking and tool use (multi-agent implementation with independent
verification).
