DottaandPaperclip 8193abb936 feat(claude): default qualified macOS and Linux targets to Paperclip Runner (#15997)
## 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.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution and browser testing. The exact serving model ID and

# Hiring, agent configuration, and organization — agent access
Product map: [Hiring, agent configuration, and organization](../feature-map/agents.md).
Review date: 2026-10-12. Source commit: `58e16dbddfc9c8d0cf60867f9d9847f0feda055b`.
Native REST transport reconciled in this change; see the
[shared transport contract](README.md#native-rest-transport).
This is a source-reviewed baseline of representative operations and known gaps.
Each capability needs operation-level review before its entire scope can be
qualified. No live agent execution is claimed. Follow the [map contract](../README.md)
for format, permission checks, evidence and maintenance.
Scoped runner-default source review: 2026-10-12 at
`eee0534154eaf5d0d3f2bbc97c1e24d86f34a5a5`, limited to creation/configuration,
approval activation, built-in provisioning and import preservation described
below. The original baseline commit above still governs unrelated entries; this
update does not claim operation-complete review or live agent verification.
## `hire`
Review: `baseline`.
API: `present` — representative operation IDs:
- `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/agent-hires`.
- `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/agents`.
Agent access: `partial` — Native hire_agent; REST / CLI agent; runtime inheritance for
native hires.
Creation requests can use `runner: auto | paperclip | legacy`; the server resolves
and persists execution configuration. Claude Auto selects the native ACPX profile
on qualified macOS and GNU/Linux x64/ARM64 targets; unknown environment
qualification remains Legacy. Darwin SSH defaults to Legacy while preserving
explicit native assets and saved execution. Saved runner/model/provider overrides survive edits
and approval activation. This selection does not grant connection access or
bypass hiring authorization. Source: [runner resolver](../../server/src/services/agent-runner-selection.ts).
Policy: Agent creation/configuration uses action grants, resource policies and change
consent; some controls require a board actor.
The creation boundary resolves the request-level runner before adapter validation
and credential normalization. Omitted/automatic new Codex selection uses the
qualified target's default; explicit Legacy is retained. Disabled adapters and
external overrides affect new selection, while missing credentials/runtime or
incompatible settings remain errors. Existing agents and reviewed pending hires
retain their recorded execution. Native `hire_agent` explicitly inherits its
caller's runtime and remains subject to permission and credential restrictions;
it is not an arbitrary host-configuration or login tool. REST/CLI creation and
hire runner options use the [shared request contract](../../packages/shared/src/validators/agent.ts).
Evidence: `source-only` — [implementation](../../server/src/routes/agents.ts#L1395) at
the reviewed commit above.
Scoped Evidence: `source-only` — [creation policy](../../server/src/services/agent-hiring.ts),
[runner resolution](../../server/src/services/agent-runner-selection.ts),
[native hire binding](../../server/src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.ts),
[frozen approval activation](../../server/src/modules/agent-lifecycle/adapters/approvals.ts)
and [same-harness import preservation](../../server/src/services/company-portability.ts)
at the scoped commit. No permitted-agent journey was executed for this map update.
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.
For this scope, compare automatic and explicit Legacy creation, assert foreign
company/environment and missing-grant denials, then compare pending approval
configuration across restart and activation. An unrelated edit/import update must
not change existing execution; a new package without a runner choice receives
creation defaults. Do not count a board call or component test as agent evidence.
Gaps: Identity/persona hiring works. Operator account login and sensitive
adapter/environment configuration are separate guarded actions.
The runner request does not grant new account, environment-probe or native API
fallback authority; see [validation access](./runs-adapters.md#validation) and
[environment administration](./execution-environments.md#probe). Full access
qualification remains not run.
## `instructions`
Review: `baseline`.
API: `present` — representative operation IDs:
- `GET /api/agents/{id}/instructions-bundle/file`.
- `PUT /api/agents/{id}/instructions-bundle/file`.
Agent access: `available` — Native read/update/history/restore instruction tools; REST /
CLI.
Policy: Agent creation/configuration uses action grants, resource policies and change
consent; some controls require a board actor.
Evidence: `source-only` — [implementation](../../server/src/routes/agents.ts#L1395) 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: Canonical entry file, revision guard, company boundary, and protected-change
policy apply.
## `organization`
Review: `baseline`.
API: `present` — representative operation IDs:
- `GET /api/companies/{companyId}/org`.
- `PATCH /api/agents/{id}`.
Agent access: `available` — list_agents/get_agent; native call_api for permitted
configuration fields; REST / CLI.
Policy: Agent creation/configuration uses action grants, resource policies and change
consent; some controls require a board actor.
Evidence: `source-only` — [implementation](../../server/src/routes/agents.ts#L1395) 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: Reporting-line changes need configuration authorization; a title alone gives no
authority.
## `lifecycle`
Review: `baseline`.
API: `present` — representative operation IDs:
- `POST /api/agents/{id}/pause`.
- `POST /api/agents/{id}/resume`.
- `POST /api/agents/{id}/terminate`.
- `POST /api/agents/{id}/lifecycle/retry`.
- `GET /api/agents/{id}` returns the safe failed phase/step and action in `lifecycleError`.
Agent access: `partial` — REST / native `call_api` resume under agent_config:update
change-grant authorization; pause and termination remain board-only.
Policy: Agent creation/configuration uses action grants, resource policies and change
consent; some controls require a board actor.
Evidence: `source-only` — [implementation](../../server/src/routes/agents.ts#L1395) 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: Resume has a generic native REST path. Pause and termination remain
enforced actor restrictions.
## `built-in`
Review: `baseline`.
API: `present` — representative operation IDs:
- `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/built-in-agents/{key}/provision`.
Agent access: `partial` — REST / native fallback for eligible provisioning; built-in
routine controls require board.
Policy: Agent creation/configuration uses action grants, resource policies and change
consent; some controls require a board actor.
Evidence: `source-only` — [implementation](../../server/src/routes/agents.ts#L1395) 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: Provisioning checks agents:create. Enabling/running its built-in routine is not
the same permission path.
Scoped source review: [built-in provisioning](../../server/src/services/built-in-agents.ts)
recognizes the underlying Codex harness of a native company agent. New configured
provisioning resolves the runner, while unrelated reconciliation and same-harness
edits retain existing execution. Verify explicit runner changes preserve compatible
saved settings; the general creation/access policy above still applies. This is
source-only evidence at the scoped commit, not a live provisioning result.
## `primary-agent`
Review: `baseline`.
API: `present` — GET and PUT /api/companies/{companyId}/primary-agent/me.
Agent access: `restricted` — this is the authenticated human's personal
preference. Agent keys and native call_api use agent identity and are denied by
the board gate; no dedicated agent selection tool is present.
Policy: Requires board user identity, company access and active membership,
except implicit-local board or instance administrator. Viewers may choose their
own primary. Selection requires a same-company readable, available agent and
is scoped to actor user ID; the request cannot select another user's preference.
Explicit null selection is rejected; leave/termination can clear an unavailable
choice. Initialization stays recorded so clearing does not silently replace it.
Evidence: `source-only` — reviewed on 2026-10-13 at
`60bc0d5fee9a6e48db08fc016521fee3d9f57d67`:
[routes](../../server/src/routes/primary-agent.ts),
[service](../../server/src/services/primary-agent.ts),
[provider](../../ui/src/context/PrimaryAgentProvider.tsx), and
[route tests](../../server/src/__tests__/primary-agent.test.ts).
Verification: `not-run` — select and read the preference as two company users;
assert isolation, wrong-company/unreadable targets, pending/terminated agent
rejection and agent-key denial. Verify replacement confirmation and fallback
precedence in the UI; inspect the cleared state after permitted leave/termination.
Gaps: No agent mutation path for another person's preference. Live human/agent
access is unverified; UI fixture callbacks do not establish persistence or task
and Chat default resolution.
## `grok-bot`
Review: `baseline`.
API: `present` — `POST /api/companies/{companyId}/grok-invitations`, operator-owned Grok invitations and agent-scoped `/grok-binding` setup, routine, verify, stop, recover and disconnect endpoints. Direct HTTPS `/mcp/runner` uses fixed named-agent OAuth. Grok tools expose durable assignment operations and task-bound upload/download grants.
Agent access: `available` — `paperclip_grok_*` through the dedicated agent grant. First-party Paperclip operations execute through the shared Rust Runner. The Bot retains its own apps; Paperclip workspace and third-party app tools are unavailable.
Policy: company/agent/client/resource/authorizer binding; current manage-agent permission for consent and subsequent calls; normal task ownership, controller lease, governance, pause, revocation and recorded budget checks. Execution and file transfers require current task-bound sessions. Secret credentials remain in encrypted secret storage and are redacted from HTTP logs.
Evidence: `source-only` — [routes](../../server/src/routes/grok-bot.ts), [shared authority](../../server/src/services/external-bot-authority.ts), [routine receipts](../../server/src/services/grok-bot/routine.ts) and [Runner broker](../../server/src/services/dot-runner-broker.ts). Temporary actual-client OAuth and an outbound routine wake are qualified separately; they do not prove this candidate’s acceptance.
Verification: `not-run` — deployed acceptance pending; focused protocol/authorization and actual Rust backend tests; run fresh/saved setup, assigned and proactive tasks, duplicate calls, stale sessions, restart, ambiguous delivery, stop and recovery through the real client on the serving managed candidate.
Gaps: deployed two-way work and unattended first-time onboarding remain unqualified; remote termination, provider transcript streaming and usage accounting are unavailable.
