## Thinking Path > - Paperclip must run the selected agent on its selected host. > - Claude needs verified packages for each supported target. > - A Mac controller must select the correct Linux provider pack. > - New defaults must follow package and execution evidence. > - This PR adds Claude platform packaging and target-specific pack selection. > - Existing Codex Linux ARM64 behavior remains intact. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #15683. This PR depends on #15993 and #15994. Related scope: #15422 and #15224. ## What Changed - Reuse the merged four-target daemon producer/consumer matrix. Add target-owned Linux provider packs and carry their immutable identities through release assembly and vendoring. - Reuse master’s landed pinned Claude SDK ARM64 executable admission and retain package-integrity, architecture and no-follow admission. - Select target-specific remote packs so Mac controllers can use Linux hosts without a development pack override. - Preserve read-only runtime context on SSH startup and resume without accepting unverified old content. - Check ordinary installed Claude readiness without injected package authority. Retain Codex and Linux x64 consumer checks. - Extend Claude automatic target selection for the remaining qualified package targets. Retain unsupported-platform and external-override behavior. - Qualify managed Daytona snapshot names through provider IDs during Claude Connect. Pin native acquisition to the measured ID. Preserve a revocation marker after failed probes or target edits, and block native acquisition until requalification instead of falling back to a mutable name. Preserve immutable-image proof, company and account boundaries, and Legacy acquisition. ## Verification - Reconciled with master `9179d8dcc3e908c217fde4f63c9d08ccf8132eeb` through the prerequisite stack, retaining the merged startup fix and latest Codex Linux ARM64 behavior. - [Four-target exact-source package qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39267321383) passed on source `04e0202ca81387b17cbe7fd094a8338648356fe9`: all four native builds, public-package assembly, Linux x64 verification and clean installed consumers on Apple Silicon, Intel Mac and Linux ARM64. The later master reconciliation adds shared OpenRouter attribution and changes runtime source. This historical result keeps its original source identity; [later qualification](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39281100929) passed at `dca62c7aeb4b45f0dd91a8e18d386a16a2658ef8`. It predates the subsequent TypeScript startup fix. - Fresh local product acceptance on integrated source `b2c9fe43f9cd3bc5dd9d22552da0148845ba71a4` completed a useful file and follow-up through native Claude/Opus 5.5, High effort and the API-key connection. Both actual browser downloads were independently checked; the revision preserves the original body and session continuity. Total task estimates: $0.518432800. Ordinary web and API creation saved defaults with the native experiment disabled. - Local focused verification passed 993 startup/session tests, 243 UI tests, 12 workflow security tests, direct server/UI TypeScript checks, and token/palette gates before the last review changes. Initial DB-backed snapshot pin/revocation coverage passed 18 cases; the final serial route suites pass 122 credential/permission and 232 snapshot/environment cases after correcting a test hook timeout. Current-head cloud suites pass. - Preserved the failed pre-provider local fixture and its full pending reservation. The successful fixture has no unpriced or pending usage. Historical failed Cloud journeys, accounting holds, source identities and subscription limitations remain in the dated plan. - All Docker/Rust release production was performed in cloud CI. No local Docker image was built. An inadvertently invoked local Rust prerequisite was stopped. - Current-head cloud CI is green. All three stack PRs have fresh Greptile 5/5 reviews and zero unresolved review threads. Required typecheck, test and build gates ran in cloud CI; Docker work stayed remote. Earlier failed checks remain in their original runs. - The final master merge preserves task-loading, permission, skill-retention and OpenRouter changes. Pi uses a fresh combined profile 27, preserving both historical profile-24 declarations; Copilot remains profile 22. Focused protocol checks passed 155 cases (one skipped), the updated Pi attestation check passed 18 (one skipped), and 91 evaluation/catalog checks passed. - Latest-application manual continuation passed in 37.942 seconds on `695e5c005a85bddc8711d3fcddcaf6b7e1fb64d0`, with High effort, native Opus 5.5, Anthropic API attribution, the same resumed Claude session, an independently checked 635-byte file and persisted Done status. It uses the earlier verified Mac daemon; the preceding-source package qualification passed at `dca62c7aeb4b45f0dd91a8e18d386a16a2658ef8`. That package run predates the small TypeScript startup fix and is not relabeled as qualification for it. - Upgrade limitation: changed compiled sidecar identity rejected old durable launch state and recovery hit session-open bounds before eventually resuming. That attempt was operator-cancelled and retained; the successful manual continuation does not qualify seamless upgrades. - Local latency profile, Opus 5.5/High unchanged: three alternating real-ACP loopback samples per variant reduce median provider-ready time from 5.081s to 4.034s. The matched real API task startup improves from 5.533s to 4.348s, but total reply time changes from 17.933s to 20.221s because agent work varies. This establishes a startup saving of about one second, not a consistent total-reply speedup. A real candidate follow-up passed in 20.146s and resumed the same saved session. The loopback fixture makes no external model requests; failed initial probes remain retained. - The startup change passes 107 focused runtime/effort/lease tests, 53 profile checks (one skipped), TypeScript checking and the TypeScript-only runtime build. Native hire fixture checks pass 70 tests; their first local run retained a socket-hangup failure and stale OpenCode expectation, both accounted for before the passing rerun. Broader required checks run in cloud CI. ## Risks - **Experience needs improvement:** successful connection setup still shows “Connection needs attention” because runtime checks are deferred. Cold provider-pack upload took 122–126 seconds per run while the task mainly showed “Thinking.” The tested Core-only preview excludes private Cloud UI plugins; this is not full Cloud distribution or subscription qualification. Desktop dark theme was tested; mobile and comprehensive accessibility were not. The portable report validates, but gallery interaction could not be inspected because host preview was queued. - The optional supply-chain scan returned neutral/inconclusive because GitHub Actions package coverage and infrastructure parsing are unavailable. It is not counted as a successful supply-chain qualification. Exact package, daemon and image integrity checks passed. - A stale, missing or wrong-architecture pack must fail admission. It must not change runner or target silently. - Provider-pack source changes invalidate affected earlier execution results. Existing unknown-cost and cleanup holds remain intact. - Live subscription execution remains unverified under the API-key qualification direction. Built-in authentication flows are retained. ARM64 cloud-image production is deferred. Merge and production deployment remain separate. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution and browser testing.

Paperclip Daytona runner image
Ordinary provider packs now include pinned Cursor assets for Linux x64; no
--candidate-providers=cursor flag is needed. Cursor admission is enabled after
the production readiness gates
passed. The public CLI installation command is paperclipai runtime setup cursor;
it runs explicitly on the execution host and is never an npm installation hook.
This image is the Paperclip Cloud fleet sandbox image plus a source-built
paperclip-runnerd and immutable provider pack. The pack contains Node 24.11,
OpenCode 1.18.34, the compiled OpenCode proxy, ACPX 0.13.1 sidecar, qualified ACP
agents, and the production lockfile. Its manifest digests each executable bridge
and binds the pack to the runner source revision, avoiding artifact upload and
npm installation on every fresh lease.
The fleet pins are intentionally copied from
paperclip-cloud/fleet-sandbox-image/Dockerfile.
Update both definitions together until the fleet base is published as a stable
image that this Dockerfile can extend directly.
Harness versions
The October 2026 refreshes pin Codex 0.160.0, Claude Agent SDK 0.3.286 (Claude Code 2.1.286), and OpenCode 1.18.34 in the shared provider pack. Claude Code 2.1.280 is the minimum for Opus 5.5 and 2.1.284 is the minimum for Sonnet 5.5; the pinned runtime also supports Fable 5.1. Codex 0.160.0 ships bundled metadata for the current GPT-6.1 Sol, GPT-6 Sol, and GPT-6 Luna model IDs. The same refresh pins Grok CLI 1.0.46, Gemini CLI 0.62.0, Kimi Code 2.1.1, Cursor CLI 2026.10.01-e373342, and GitHub CLI 2.102.0 in the sandbox layer. The native Cursor provider uses its separately verified distribution, pinned to 2026.09.26-dd393fe; it does not use the sandbox layer’s global Cursor executable. Grok CLI 1.0.46 supports the current Grok 4.7 model family. Hermes stays at 0.19.0, the newest release on PyPI.
Keep the patched ACP bridge versions separate from their CLI runtime pins. Their executable digests do not change when only the runtime dependency changes. Refresh the runtime executable digests from integrity-verified npm release archives for every supported platform, and keep the native runner, provider manifest, and remote controller version checks aligned.
Build and verify
Run pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner test:opencode:qualification
after installing dependencies to exercise the actual pinned OpenCode executable.
It checks health/version, session creation and retrieval, SSE messages, an async
prompt, and session deletion against a loopback mock provider. It uses an
isolated home, starts no paid model request, and retires its process group.
Set PAPERCLIP_TEST_OPENCODE_BINARY to the materialized Linux executable when
qualifying an assembled provider pack.
The fleet image is currently amd64-only because the pinned Cursor and GitHub CLI checksums cover amd64.
content_id="$(pnpm --silent test:e2e:runner:image-id)"
docker buildx build \
--platform linux/amd64 \
--build-arg PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_CONTENT_ID="${content_id}" \
--build-arg PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_SOURCE_REVISION="$(git rev-parse HEAD)" \
--tag "paperclip-daytona-runner:e2e-content-${content_id}" \
--load \
--file docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile \
.
docker run --rm --platform linux/amd64 \
--entrypoint paperclip-runnerd \
"paperclip-daytona-runner:e2e-content-${content_id}" \
--build-metadata
The metadata must advertise dial_ws_loopback, dial_wss, and listen_ws.
The explicit entrypoint is needed only for this local probe because Daytona's
base image uses its own long-running sandbox entrypoint.
test:e2e:runner:image-id hashes the audited Docker build dependency closure,
target platform, the immutable Dockerfile syntax-frontend digest, and every
immutable FROM reference. It fails before the paid workflow can build when
the frontend or a base is not pinned to a sha256 digest. When updating the
syntax version, resolve and review its registry digest and update both values in
the first Dockerfile line. Git commits that do not change those inputs reuse the
same content tag.
PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_SOURCE_REVISION remains the full Git SHA that built the first
published copy and is retained as provenance rather than cache identity.
Use in Paperclip
Publish the image to a registry Daytona can pull, or use the environment
editor's Configure image flow to produce a Daytona snapshot. Set the
environment image to that immutable tag or snapshot. Paperclip probes the
sandbox user's PATH for paperclip-runnerd and codex and checks
/opt/paperclip-runner/provider-pack for OpenCode and ACPX. It uses the pack
only when its complete manifest matches the controller's build-owned pack;
otherwise it stages the pack configured by
PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_REMOTE_PROVIDER_PACK_PATH. Remote OpenCode and ACPX never
fall back to host-local processes.
Do not promote paperclip-runner-e2e-20260826-v2 for OpenCode or ACPX. Build a
new immutable image or snapshot from a clean committed revision and pass that
full Git SHA as PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_SOURCE_REVISION.
Do not bake provider credentials, Paperclip bootstrap tickets, or Daytona preview tokens into this image. They remain per-run secret material.
The provider-pack build pins the official Linux x64 Node 24.21.0 image by manifest digest. Its bundled Undici is 7.29.1, which fixes GHSA-3wwx-pv8p-q78v. Pi separately verifies its private Node executable and nested npm dependency; changing the outer interpreter does not replace either provider-owned pin.
Provider CLI updates are manifest-only changes: repository CI owns the root
lockfile. Resolve the complete workspace manifest graph in the build context
before invoking Docker, matching CI when a source commit precedes the lockfile
bot. The trusted workflow supplies this resolved lockfile as an immutable artifact.
The complete resolved lockfile must match PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_LOCK_SHA256 before
package installation or lifecycle execution. Review and refresh that digest
with source dependency changes; registry-time resolution drift fails closed.
The Product E2E workflow resolves one lockfile before the image build. It
verifies the downloaded artifact, then passes that artifact's SHA-256 as the
PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_LOCK_SHA256 build argument. The Dockerfile checks the resolved
lock against this value before installation. The fixed Dockerfile default is
for standalone builds; it must not replace a campaign's verified lock digest.
Refresh the default from the clean tracked lockfile using the exact
pnpm install --resolution-only --ignore-scripts --no-frozen-lockfile command,
and verify a second resolution preserves the digest. A lockfile left by a
filtered or incremental install can retain stale importer patch identities.
Refresh exact runtime versions and qualification digests together; do not
download dependencies when a task starts.
Candidate ACP qualification assets
Provider branches can build their pinned assets with
node packages/paperclip-runner/scripts/build-provider-pack.mjs /absolute/pack --candidate-providers=cursor
(or copilot or pi). The source revision must include the named provider's
builder. Assets are installed at build time under provider-assets/<provider>/<platform>-<architecture>.
The pack manifest binds each complete asset tree. Runtime admission separately
checks the provider's source-owned closure pins and copies a verified launch snapshot.
A pack with candidate assets does not qualify or enable that provider.
For an isolated Linux x64 Daytona qualification image, pass
--build-arg PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_CANDIDATE_PROVIDERS=cursor with the normal build arguments.
Compute its content ID with the same selection:
pnpm --silent test:e2e:runner:image-id --candidate-providers=cursor.
Candidate assets and the default pack have distinct image identities. Never reuse
the default image's content ID for a candidate build.
Use each provider branch's recorded version and explicit model. Keep credentials
out of images. Paid qualification requires bound provider and Daytona credentials,
inspectable spend, and the shared $100 ceiling recorded in the capability report.
The pack builder tests its copied Node interpreter after relocation. Use a
standalone Node distribution if the host interpreter depends on a package manager's
private shared libraries. Pi additionally pins its complete portable interpreter
and npm dependency graph.
Refresh exact runtime versions and qualification digests together; never download
dependencies when a task starts. Grok's additive native ACP profile keeps its
qualified 1.0.13 executable at the verified sandbox prerequisite path. It does not replace the
legacy adapter's grok command on PATH.
Native Grok is an image prerequisite at /opt/paperclip/providers/grok/1.0.13/grok.
Its checksum-verified provisioning is separate from the provider pack, which ships
only the built-in launcher. Public npm installation never downloads this binary.
