## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents via adapters (`claude_local`,
`codex_local`, etc.)
> - Each adapter type has different capabilities — instructions bundles,
skill materialization, local JWT — but these were gated by 5 hardcoded
type lists scattered across server routes and UI components
> - External adapter plugins (e.g. a future `opencode_k8s`) cannot add
themselves to those hardcoded lists without patching Paperclip source
> - The existing `supportsLocalAgentJwt` field on `ServerAdapterModule`
proves the right pattern already exists; it just wasn't applied to the
other capability gates
> - This pull request replaces the 4 remaining hardcoded lists with
declarative capability flags on `ServerAdapterModule`, exposed through
the adapter listing API
> - The benefit is that external adapter plugins can now declare their
own capabilities without any changes to Paperclip source code
## What Changed
- **`packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`** — added optional capability
fields to `ServerAdapterModule`: `supportsInstructionsBundle`,
`instructionsPathKey`, `requiresMaterializedRuntimeSkills`
- **`server/src/routes/agents.ts`** — replaced
`DEFAULT_MANAGED_INSTRUCTIONS_ADAPTER_TYPES` and
`ADAPTERS_REQUIRING_MATERIALIZED_RUNTIME_SKILLS` hardcoded sets with
capability-aware helper functions that fall back to the legacy sets for
adapters that don't set flags
- **`server/src/routes/adapters.ts`** — `GET /api/adapters` now includes
a `capabilities` object per adapter (all four flags + derived
`supportsSkills`)
- **`server/src/adapters/registry.ts`** — all built-in adapters
(`claude_local`, `codex_local`, `process`, `cursor`) now declare flags
explicitly
- **`ui/src/adapters/use-adapter-capabilities.ts`** — new hook that
fetches adapter capabilities from the API
- **`ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx`** — replaced hardcoded `isLocal`
allowlist with `capabilities.supportsInstructionsBundle` from the API
- **`ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.tsx`** /
**`OnboardingWizard.tsx`** — replaced `NONLOCAL_TYPES` denylist with
capability-based checks
- **`server/src/__tests__/adapter-registry.test.ts`** /
**`adapter-routes.test.ts`** — tests covering flag exposure,
undefined-when-unset, and per-adapter values
- **`docs/adapters/creating-an-adapter.md`** — new "Capability Flags"
section documenting all flags and an example for external plugin authors
## Verification
- Run `pnpm test --filter=@paperclip/server -- adapter-registry
adapter-routes` — all new tests pass
- Run `pnpm test --filter=@paperclip/adapter-utils` — existing tests
still pass
- Spin up dev server, open an agent with `claude_local` type —
instructions bundle tab still visible
- Create/open an agent with a non-local type — instructions bundle tab
still hidden
- Call `GET /api/adapters` and verify each adapter includes a
`capabilities` object with the correct flags
## Risks
- **Low risk overall** — all new flags are optional with
backwards-compatible fallbacks to the existing hardcoded sets; no
adapter behaviour changes unless a flag is explicitly set
- Adapters that do not declare flags continue to use the legacy lists,
so there is no regression risk for built-in adapters
- The UI capability hook adds one API call to AgentDetail mount; this is
a pre-existing endpoint, so no new latency path is introduced
## Model Used
- Provider: Anthropic
- Model: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`)
- Context: 200k token context window
- Mode: Agentic tool use (code editing, bash, grep, file reads)

- 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
- When the adapter probe passes, show a clean animated "Passed" badge with
a checkmark icon instead of verbose check details
- Only show the "Manual debug" section when the test fails, reducing noise
for successful flows

In the onboarding wizard step 2 ("Create your first agent"), Claude Code and
Codex are now shown prominently as recommended options. Other adapter types
(OpenCode, Pi, Cursor, OpenClaw Gateway) are hidden behind a collapsible
"More Agent Adapter Types" toggle to reduce visual noise for new users.

When on the Company step (step 1), the form takes up the left half with
ASCII art on the right. Switching to Agent or any other step smoothly
animates the form to full width while fading out the ASCII art panel.
Switching back reverses the animation.

Replace the progress bar dots with labeled tab buttons (Company, Agent,
Task, Launch) that allow clicking directly to any step. This makes it
easy to debug/preview individual onboarding screens without stepping
through the full flow.

- Set animation panel (right half) background to #1d1d1d
- Add more margin above Company name form label
- Make form labels white when input is focused or has value
using Tailwind group/focus-within pattern

After onboarding, the wizard navigated to the newly created issue
(e.g. /JAR/issues/JAR-1). useCompanyPageMemory then saved this path,
causing every subsequent company switch to land on that stale issue
instead of the dashboard.
Remove the issue-specific navigation branch so handleLaunch always
falls through to the dashboard route.

New adapter type for invoking OpenClaw agents via the gateway protocol.

- Remove duplicate opencode_local adapter entry in OnboardingWizard
(old Code-icon version), keeping only the OpenCodeLogoIcon entry
- Extract resolveOpenCodeCommand() helper to deduplicate the
PAPERCLIP_OPENCODE_COMMAND env-var fallback logic in models.ts
- Bump @types/node from ^22.12.0 to ^24.6.0 to match the monorepo

PR #62 uses strict model selection with no default — the merge
conflict resolution incorrectly kept HEAD's references to this
removed constant. Also remove dead opencode_local branch in
OnboardingWizard (already handled by prior condition).

Merges paperclipai/paperclip#62 onto latest master (494448d).
Adds complete OpenCode provider with strict model selection,
dynamic model discovery, CLI/server/UI adapter registration.
Resolved conflicts with master's cursor adapter additions,
node v24 typing, and containerized opencode support (201d91b).

Radix's DialogOverlay wraps content in RemoveScroll, which blocks wheel
events on elements not registered as DialogPrimitive.Content. Since the
onboarding wizard uses a custom layout (not DialogContent), scroll events
on the form container were being swallowed. Replacing with a plain div
preserves the background appearance without the scroll-locking behavior.

The inner content wrapper in the onboarding form used flex-shrink default (1),
causing it to compress instead of overflowing the scroll container. Adding
shrink-0 prevents flex compression and lets overflow-y-auto work correctly.

The description textarea in onboarding step 3 couldn't scroll and was too
short for the default content. Added auto-grow behavior that resizes from
120px up to 300px based on content, with overflow scrolling beyond the cap.
