Replace the client-side-only override store with a real server-side
toggle. When a developer pauses the external override, the server swaps
ALL adapter behavior back to the builtin — execute handler, model listing,
config schema, detection — not just the UI parser.
Server changes:
- registry.ts: builtinFallbacks map + pausedOverrides set + setOverridePaused()
- routes/adapters.ts: PATCH /api/adapters/:type/override endpoint + overridePaused in list
UI changes:
- adapters.ts: setOverridePaused API method + overridePaused on AdapterInfo
- AdapterManager: overrideMutation calls server, instant feedback via invalidate()
- use-disabled-adapters.ts: reads adapter.overridePaused from server response
Removed:
- disabled-overrides-store.ts: no longer needed (server is the source of truth)
Note: already-running agent sessions keep the adapter they started with.
Only new sessions use the swapped adapter.
Builtin adapter types (hermes_local, openclaw_gateway, etc.) could not
be overridden by external adapters on the UI side. The registry always
returned the built-in parser, ignoring the external ui-parser.js shipped
by packages like hermes-paperclip-adapter.
Changes:
- registry.ts: full override lifecycle with generation guard for stale loads
- disabled-overrides-store.ts: client-side override pause state with
useSyncExternalStore reactivity (persisted to localStorage)
- use-disabled-adapters.ts: subscribe to override store changes
- AdapterManager.tsx: separate controls for override pause (client-side)
vs menu visibility (server-side), virtual builtin rows with badges
- adapters.ts: allow reload/reinstall of builtin types when overridden
- Plugin loader: install/reload/remove/reinstall external adapters
from npm packages or local directories
- Plugin store persisted at ~/.paperclip/adapter-plugins.json
- Self-healing UI parser resolution with version caching
- UI: Adapter Manager page, dynamic loader, display registry
with humanized names for unknown adapter types
- Dev watch: exclude adapter-plugins dir from tsx watcher
to prevent mid-request server restarts during reinstall
- All consumer fallbacks use getAdapterLabel() for consistent display
- AdapterTypeDropdown uses controlled open state for proper close behavior
- Remove hermes-local from built-in UI (externalized to plugin)
- Add docs for external adapters and UI parser contract
