## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Agent creation can happen through local runtimes, managed runtimes,
and external agents that onboard through invites.
> - The old OpenClaw-oriented invite UX lived under company
settings/invites and made a gateway-specific path look like a company
access setting.
> - That hid the broader bring-your-own-agent flow and forced operators
to leave the add-agent modal when adding an external agent.
> - This pull request moves external agent invite generation into the
add-agent modal and makes the copy agent-oriented instead of
OpenClaw-only.
> - The benefit is a clearer agent-first onboarding path while company
invites stay focused on human access.
## What Changed
- Added an external-agent invite branch to the add-agent modal,
including a dedicated prompt result view with Back navigation.
- Added a shared agent onboarding prompt builder and focused modal
coverage for prompt replacement/back navigation.
- Removed the agent invite prompt UI from Company Settings and Company
Invites, leaving Company Invites focused on human access links and
invite history.
- Updated the hidden OpenClaw Gateway runtime hint to direct operators
to the add-agent invite flow instead of presenting it as a blocked
runtime card.
- Updated invite/onboarding docs, storybook coverage, and server-side
onboarding copy toward generic agent language while preserving existing
gateway compatibility.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `FAKE_BIN="$(mktemp -d)/bin"; mkdir -p "$FAKE_BIN"; printf
'#!/bin/sh\nexit 1\n' > "$FAKE_BIN/tailscale"; chmod +x
"$FAKE_BIN/tailscale"; PATH="$FAKE_BIN:$PATH" pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm test:run` without the fake `tailscale` shim was also attempted;
it failed only in two pre-existing CLI tailnet fallback tests because
this host has a real Tailscale address (`100.125.202.3`) where those
tests expect no Tailscale.
- Focused confirmation for that host-env issue: `FAKE_BIN=...
PATH="$FAKE_BIN:$PATH" pnpm exec vitest run --project paperclipai
cli/src/__tests__/network-bind.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/onboard.test.ts`
- Manual UI verification: served UI locally in light mode, opened
add-agent modal, generated external agent prompt, verified the generated
prompt replaces the form and Back returns to the form.
### Screenshots
## Risks
- Existing OpenClaw gateway compatibility remains, but operators now
discover external agent onboarding from the add-agent modal instead of
company settings.
- Agent invites still appear in the invite history table, so that page
may show agent-scoped invite rows even though it no longer creates agent
onboarding prompts.
- Low migration risk: no schema changes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The `grok-local` adapter streams reasoning text to the issue
"Working..." panel as the grok CLI runs
> - The `grok` CLI's `--output-format streaming-json` mode silently
drops the `\n` separator between reasoning turns around tool calls
> - Consecutive `thought` chunks (e.g. `` "`" `` followed by `"The"`)
arrive with no intervening whitespace event, so the UI's `delta: true`
concatenator merged them into run-on text like `"…planningGreat, now I
have the issue descriptionThe only co"`
> - This PR adds a small turn-boundary helper that detects sentence
boundaries in the upstream `thought` stream and inserts a single `\n`
only when the previous chunk ended with sentence punctuation (or a
balanced closing backtick) AND the next chunk begins a new uppercase
sentence
> - The benefit is readable streaming reasoning in the UI without
changing how completed messages are stored
## What Changed
- Added `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/shared/turn-boundary.ts` with
per-stream state (last chunk + backtick parity) and a
`restoreTurnBoundary()` helper that inserts `\n` only between balanced,
sentence-terminated `thought` chunks
- Wired the helper into `parseGrokJsonl` (server) and added a new
`createGrokStdoutParser` factory used by `grokLocalUIAdapter` for the
live "Working..." panel
- Added focused tests in `shared/turn-boundary.test.ts`, plus regression
assertions in `server/parse.test.ts` and `ui/parse-stdout.test.ts`
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/grok-local test` — 23/23 adapter tests pass
- `pnpm --filter @paperclip/grok-local typecheck` and UI typecheck —
clean
- Replayed an actual broken `grok 0.1.210` stream from the report;
previously-merged boundaries (`` `ls`The ``, `returned:Confirmed`) now
render with a separating newline; chunks inside un-closed backtick spans
are left alone
## Risks
- Low risk. Boundary insertion only fires when prev ends with
`.`/`!`/`?`/balanced `` ` `` and next begins with an uppercase ≥2-char
word, with no whitespace on either side. Worst case: a rare missed split
or a misplaced newline inside reasoning — both purely cosmetic and
confined to the live streaming panel.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, so
adapter quality directly affects what runtimes the control plane can
supervise.
> - Local CLI adapters are one of the core execution surfaces because
they turn real coding tools into Paperclip-managed employees with
heartbeats, transcripts, and reviewability.
> - Grok Build was installed on the Paperclip host, but Paperclip had no
built-in `grok_local` adapter, so the runtime could not be configured
through the normal server/UI/CLI adapter path.
> - That gap needed to be closed with the same built-in registry,
environment diagnostics, transcript parsing, and skill/instructions
behavior that the other local adapters already rely on.
> - After the initial adapter landed, a real follow-up run showed that
Grok streaming text was being rendered one fragment per line, which made
transcripts harder to read even though the runtime itself was working.
> - This pull request adds the built-in `grok_local` adapter end-to-end
and then fixes the transcript parser so streamed Grok output is
coalesced into readable assistant/thinking blocks.
> - The benefit is that Grok Build becomes a first-class Paperclip
runtime with a usable operator experience instead of a partially wired
runtime with noisy transcript output.
## What Changed
- Added a new built-in `@paperclipai/adapter-grok-local` package with
server, UI, and CLI entrypoints.
- Implemented Grok execution, session handling, environment diagnostics,
config building, skill syncing, and parser coverage inside the new
adapter package.
- Registered `grok_local` across the built-in adapter inventories and
capability/display metadata in server, UI, CLI, and shared constants.
- Added adapter route coverage for the new built-in type.
- Fixed Grok transcript readability by emitting streamed `text` and
`thought` fragments as deltas so the shared transcript builder coalesces
them into readable message blocks.
- Added regression tests for the Grok parser and transcript coalescing
behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapters/grok-local/src/ui/parse-stdout.test.ts
ui/src/adapters/transcript.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-grok-local build`
- Manual runtime verification on the Paperclip host during
implementation and follow-up review:
- confirmed the Grok CLI was installed and authenticated
- confirmed the worktree dev server could be restarted cleanly and
health-checked after the parser follow-up
- No screenshots attached. This change is primarily adapter plumbing
plus transcript formatting behavior; reviewers can verify via the
Grok-backed run surfaces directly.
## Risks
- This adds a new built-in adapter, so any missed registration surface
could create inconsistencies between server, UI, and CLI behavior.
- The adapter depends on Grok Build's current event/output shape; if
upstream Grok streaming JSON changes, transcript parsing or session
extraction may need follow-up updates.
- The transcript readability fix intentionally changes how Grok
fragments are grouped, so any downstream code that implicitly expected
one entry per fragment would behave differently.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` agent runtime.

in this Paperclip session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - There are many adapter types, one per agent-runtime product (Claude,
Codex, OpenCode, Cursor local CLI, etc.)
> - Cursor shipped a public TypeScript SDK on 2026-04-29 that exposes
Cursor's full hosted-agent platform (cloud VMs, harness, MCP, skills,
hooks)
> - Paperclip had no first-class adapter for this — agents that wanted
to use Cursor's managed cloud runtime had to fall back to the local CLI
adapter, which loses the cloud session, streaming, and durable run model
> - This PR adds a new `cursor_cloud` adapter built directly on
`@cursor/sdk`, with Paperclip's heartbeat mapped to Cursor's
durable-agent + per-run model
> - The benefit is that any Paperclip agent can now drive a Cursor cloud
agent across heartbeats with native session reuse, streaming, and
cancellation, while Paperclip remains the source of truth for issue/task
state
## What Changed
- New built-in adapter package `packages/adapters/cursor-cloud` (15
files, ~1.7k LOC) backed by `@cursor/sdk` ^1.0.12
- `src/server/execute.ts` — SDK-first lifecycle: `Agent.create` /
`Agent.resume` / `Agent.getRun` / `agent.send` / `run.stream` /
`run.wait`, with session reuse keyed on the (runtime env type, env name,
repo set) tuple
- `src/server/session.ts` — codec for `cursorAgentId` + `latestRunId` +
repo metadata, persisted in `runtime.sessionParams`
- `src/server/test.ts` — environment probe via `Cursor.me()` and
optional model validation via `Cursor.models.list()`
- `src/ui/parse-stdout.ts` + `src/cli/format-event.ts` — normalize
Cursor SDK message types (`status`, `thinking`, `assistant`, `user`,
`tool_call`, `tool_result`, `result`) into Paperclip transcript events
for the UI and CLI
- Registrations: `packages/shared/src/constants.ts`,
`packages/adapter-utils/src/session-compaction.ts`,
`server/src/adapters/{registry,builtin-adapter-types}.ts`,
`ui/src/adapters/{registry,adapter-display-registry}.ts` +
`ui/src/adapters/cursor-cloud/index.ts`, `cli/src/adapters/registry.ts`,
plus workspace deps in `cli`/`server`/`ui` `package.json`
- `ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.tsx` — hide local-Cursor
`mode`/thinking-effort field for `cursor_cloud` (different config
surface)
- 11 vitest tests covering execute paths (fresh create, matching-resume,
active-run reattach, non-finished result), session codec round-trip,
transcript parsing, and config building
## Verification
Reviewer steps:
```bash
pnpm install
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-cursor-cloud typecheck # → clean
pnpm vitest run packages/adapters/cursor-cloud # → 11/11 passing
```
End-to-end check against a real Cursor cloud agent (requires
`CURSOR_API_KEY` and Cursor GitHub-app install on the target repo):
1. Create a `cursor_cloud` agent in Paperclip with `repoUrl` set to the
test repo, `repoStartingRef: main`, and `env.CURSOR_API_KEY` set
2. Trigger a heartbeat → adapter calls `Agent.create({ cloud: { env: {
type: "cloud" }, repos: [...] } })`, streams events, terminates on
`finished`
3. Trigger a second heartbeat → adapter calls `Agent.resume` or
`agent.send` follow-up depending on prior-run state, reusing
`cursorAgentId`
4. The Paperclip UI/CLI transcript reflects Cursor `status` / `thinking`
/ `assistant` events as they stream
5. Cancellation from Paperclip maps to `run.cancel()` or Cloud API v1
`cancelRun` for cross-heartbeat cancellation
A direct-SDK smoke run against a real repo (devinfoley/my_test_project @
main) confirmed: `Cursor.me()` ok → `Agent.create` → `agent.send` →
`run.stream()` (30 events) → terminal status `finished` in ~11s.
## Risks
- **New adapter, additive only.** No existing adapter or registry is
replaced; current `cursor` local-CLI adapter is untouched. Default
behavior of any existing agent is unchanged.
- **External dependency on `@cursor/sdk`.** Cursor's SDK is v1.0.x and
may evolve. Mocked unit tests cover the public surface used here; if the
SDK breaks compatibility we update the adapter independently.
- **Cost/budget.** `cursor_cloud` runs on Cursor's billed cloud VMs;
operators must understand they are spending money outside Paperclip's
budget controls when they enable this adapter. Same shape as other
API-billed adapters.
- **No webhook support in V1.** The SDK already provides
stream/wait/cancel/reattach, so V1 does not require a public callback
URL. If a future use case needs out-of-band wakes, we add a Cloud API v1
webhook bridge as a separate change. This is called out in the issue
plan document.
- **Lockfile.** Per repo policy, `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally not
in this PR — CI's lockfile workflow will update it on merge given the
manifest changes.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI-agent companies through a control plane
that can start, supervise, and recover agent runs.
> - Local adapters are the bridge between Paperclip issues and concrete
agent runtimes such as Claude, Codex, and other ACP-compatible tools.
> - The roadmap calls out broader “bring your own agent” and claw-style
agent support, and ACPX gives Paperclip one path to normalize multiple
ACP agents behind a single adapter.
> - The branch needed to become one reviewable PR against current
`paperclipai/paperclip:master`, without carrying stale base conflicts or
generated lockfile churn.
> - This pull request adds an experimental built-in `acpx_local`
adapter, integrates it through the server/CLI/UI adapter surfaces, and
adds regression coverage for runtime execution, skill sync, stream
parsing, diagnostics, and log redaction.
> - The benefit is that Paperclip can run Claude/Codex/custom ACP agents
through ACPX while keeping operator configuration, skills, logging, and
transcript rendering inside the existing adapter model.
## What Changed
- Added `@paperclipai/adapter-acpx-local` with server execution, config
schema, ACPX session handling, CLI formatting, UI config helpers, and
stdout parsing.
- Registered `acpx_local` across CLI, server, shared constants, UI
adapter metadata, adapter capabilities, and agent creation/editing
surfaces.
- Added ACPX runtime execution support with persistent sessions,
local-agent JWT environment handling, skill snapshots, runtime skill
materialization, and isolation/security regressions.
- Added ACPX adapter diagnostics and marked the adapter experimental in
the UI.
- Added command/env secret redaction for resolved command metadata in
adapter-utils, server event storage, and the Agent Detail invocation UI.
- Added Storybook coverage for ACPX config, transcript rendering, and
skill states, plus PR screenshots under `docs/pr-screenshots/pap-2944/`.
- Rebased the branch onto current `public-gh/master`; `pnpm-lock.yaml`
is intentionally not included and there are no migration/schema changes.

touches runtime execution, adapter registration, agent config, skills,
and transcript rendering.
- ACPX and ACP agent behavior can vary by installed tool versions; the
adapter is marked experimental to set operator expectations.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is excluded per repository PR policy, so dependency
lock refresh must be handled by the repo’s automation or maintainers.
- No database migration risk: no schema or migration files changed.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane for autonomous AI companies, where
adapters are the boundary between the board, agents, and execution
runtimes.
> - Local adapters currently expose a primary runtime configuration, but
operators often need a cheaper model lane for routine or low-risk work.
> - That cheap lane has to stay adapter-owned: runtime profile settings
should not mutate the primary adapter config or bypass existing
auth/secret mediation.
> - Issue creation also needs an ergonomic way to request primary,
cheap, or custom model behavior for a selected assignee.
> - This pull request adds a first-class `cheap` model profile contract
across adapter capabilities, heartbeat config resolution, agent
configuration, and issue creation.
> - The benefit is cheaper task execution can be configured and
requested explicitly while preserving adapter boundaries, secret
handling, and audit visibility.
## What Changed
- Added adapter model-profile capability metadata and a `cheap` profile
contract for supported local adapters.
- Applied `runtimeConfig.modelProfiles.cheap.adapterConfig` during
heartbeat config resolution, including requested/applied/fallback run
metadata.
- Added agent configuration UI for cheap model profile settings without
writing those settings into primary `adapterConfig`.
- Added New Issue assignee model lane controls for Primary / Cheap /
Custom and request payload handling.
- Added run ledger profile badges and Storybook stories for the new
cheap-lane UI states.
- Added tests for validators, heartbeat model profile application,
permission/secret mediation, UI payload helpers, and run ledger
rendering.
- Added committed UI verification screenshots under
`docs/pr-screenshots/pap-2837/`.
- Addressed Greptile review feedback around cheap-profile defaults,
shared profile types, and fallback test data.

## Risks
- Medium: heartbeat config mediation now merges runtime model profiles
into adapter configs, so adapter secret normalization and host-command
restrictions must keep covering nested config paths.

adapters must keep hiding the cheap lane and preserve primary behavior.
- Low migration risk: no database migration is included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - A fast-moving control plane needs stable local tests and repeatable
local maintenance tools so contributors can safely split and review work
> - Several route suites needed stronger isolation, Codex manual model
selection needed a faster-mode option, and local browser cleanup missed
Playwright's headless shell binary
> - Storybook static output also needed to be preserved as a generated
review artifact from the working branch
> - This pull request groups the test/local-dev maintenance pieces so
they can be reviewed separately from product runtime changes
> - The benefit is more predictable contributor verification and cleaner
local maintenance without mixing these changes into feature PRs
## What Changed
- Added stable Vitest runner support and serialized route/authz test
isolation.
- Fixed workspace runtime authz route mocks and stabilized
Claude/company-import related assertions.
- Allowed Codex fast mode for manually selected models.
- Broadened the agent browser cleanup script to detect
`chrome-headless-shell` as well as Chrome for Testing.
- Preserved generated Storybook static output from the source branch.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-routes-authz.test.ts
src/__tests__/claude-local-execute.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts`
from `server/` passed: 2 files, 19 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/server/codex-args.test.ts --config
vitest.config.ts` from `packages/adapters/codex-local/` passed: 1 file,
3 tests.
- `bash -n scripts/kill-agent-browsers.sh &&
scripts/kill-agent-browsers.sh --dry` passed; dry-run detected
`chrome-headless-shell` processes without killing them.
- `test -f ui/storybook-static/index.html && test -f
ui/storybook-static/assets/forms-editors.stories-Dry7qwx2.js` passed.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master..pap-2228-test-local-maintenance --
. ':(exclude)ui/storybook-static'` passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts --config
cli/vitest.config.ts` did not complete in the isolated split worktree
because `paperclipai run` exited during build prep with `TS2688: Cannot
find type definition file for 'react'`; this appears to be caused by the
worktree dependency symlink setup, not the code under test.
- Confirmed this PR does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: the stable Vitest runner changes how route/authz tests
are scheduled.
- Generated `ui/storybook-static` files are large and contain minified
third-party output; `git diff --check` reports whitespace inside those
generated assets, so reviewers may choose to drop or regenerate that
artifact before merge.
- No database migrations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane for AI-agent companies.
> - External adapters can provide UI parser code that the board loads
dynamically for run transcript rendering.
> - Running adapter-provided parser code directly in the board page
gives that parser access to same-origin browser state.
> - This PR narrows that surface by evaluating dynamically loaded
external adapter UI parser code in a dedicated browser Web Worker with a
constrained postMessage protocol.
> - The worker here is a frontend isolation boundary for adapter UI
parser JavaScript; it is not Paperclip's server plugin-worker system and
it is not a server-side job runner.
## What Changed
- Runs dynamically loaded external adapter UI parsers inside a dedicated
Web Worker instead of importing/evaluating them directly in the board
page.
- Adds a narrow postMessage protocol for parser initialization and line
parsing.
- Caches completed async parse results and notifies the adapter registry
so transcript recomputation can synchronously drain the final parsed
line.
- Disables common worker network, persistence, child worker, Blob/object
URL, and WebRTC escape APIs inside the parser worker bootstrap.
- Handles worker error messages after initialization and drains pending
callbacks on worker termination or mid-session worker error.
- Adds focused regression coverage for the parser worker lockdown and
unused protocol removal.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --config ui/vitest.config.ts
ui/src/adapters/sandboxed-parser-worker.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit --target es2021 --moduleResolution bundler
--module esnext --jsx react-jsx --lib dom,es2021 --skipLibCheck
ui/src/adapters/dynamic-loader.ts
ui/src/adapters/sandboxed-parser-worker.ts
ui/src/adapters/sandboxed-parser-worker.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` was attempted; it reached
existing unrelated failures in HeartbeatRun test/storybook fixtures and
missing Storybook type resolution, with no adapter-module errors
surfaced.
- PR #4225 checks on current head `34c9da00`: `policy`, `e2e`, `verify`,
`security/snyk`, and `Greptile Review` are all `SUCCESS`.
- Greptile Review on current head `34c9da00` reached 5/5.
## Risks
- Medium risk: parser execution is now asynchronous through a worker
while the existing parser interface is synchronous, so transcript
updates should be watched with external adapters.
- Some adapter parser bundles may rely on direct ESM `export` syntax or
browser APIs that are no longer available inside the worker lockdown.
- The worker lockdown is a hardening layer around external parser code,
not a complete browser security sandbox for arbitrary untrusted
applications.

## Summary
This fixes the Hermes local adapter so that a configured command
override is respected during both environment tests and execution.
## Problem
The Hermes adapter expects `adapterConfig.hermesCommand`, but the
generic local command path in the UI was storing
`adapterConfig.command`.
As a result, changing the command in the UI did not reliably affect
runtime behavior. In real use, the adapter could still fall back to the
default `hermes` binary.
This showed up clearly in setups where Hermes is launched through a
wrapper command rather than installed directly on the host.
## What changed
- switched the Hermes local UI adapter to the Hermes-specific config
builder
- updated the configuration form to read and write `hermesCommand` for
`hermes_local`
- preserved the override correctly in the test-environment path
- added server-side normalization from legacy `command` to
`hermesCommand`
## Compatibility
The server-side normalization keeps older saved agent configs working,
including configs that still store the value under `command`.
## Validation
Validated against a Docker-based Hermes workflow using a local wrapper
exposed through a symlinked command:
- `Command = hermes-docker`
- environment test respects the override
- runs no longer fall back to `hermes`
Typecheck also passed for both UI and server.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Local adapter capability flags decide which configuration surfaces
the UI and server expose for each adapter.
> - `hermes_local` currently advertises managed instructions bundle
support, so Paperclip exposes the AGENTS.md bundle flow for Hermes
agents.
> - The bundled `hermes-paperclip-adapter` only consumes
`promptTemplate` at runtime and does not read `instructionsFilePath`, so
that advertised bundle path silently does nothing.
> - Issue #3833 reports exactly that mismatch: users configure AGENTS.md
instructions, but Hermes only receives the built-in heartbeat prompt.
> - This pull request stops advertising managed instructions bundles for
`hermes_local` until the adapter actually consumes bundle files at
runtime.
## What Changed
- Changed the built-in `hermes_local` server adapter registration to
report `supportsInstructionsBundle: false`.
- Updated the UI's synchronous built-in capability fallback so Hermes no
longer shows the managed instructions bundle affordance on first render.
- Added regression coverage in
`server/src/__tests__/adapter-routes.test.ts` to assert that
`hermes_local` still reports skills + local JWT support, but not
instructions bundle support.
## Verification
- `git diff --check`
- `node --experimental-strip-types --input-type=module -e "import {
findActiveServerAdapter } from './server/src/adapters/index.ts'; const
adapter = findActiveServerAdapter('hermes_local');
console.log(JSON.stringify({ type: adapter?.type,
supportsInstructionsBundle: adapter?.supportsInstructionsBundle,
supportsLocalAgentJwt: adapter?.supportsLocalAgentJwt, supportsSkills:
Boolean(adapter?.listSkills || adapter?.syncSkills) }));"`
- Observed
`{"type":"hermes_local","supportsInstructionsBundle":false,"supportsLocalAgentJwt":true,"supportsSkills":true}`
- Added adapter-routes regression assertions for the Hermes capability
contract; CI should validate the full route path in a clean workspace.
## Risks
- Low risk: this only changes the advertised capability surface for
`hermes_local`.
- Behavior change: Hermes agents will no longer show the broken managed
instructions bundle UI until the underlying adapter actually supports
`instructionsFilePath`.
- Existing Hermes skill sync and local JWT behavior are unchanged.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.4 class coding agent, medium reasoning,
terminal/git/gh tool use.

## 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)

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
- Fix external adapters (hermes, droid) not auto-selected when
navigating with ?adapterType= param — was using a stale
module-level Set built before async adapter registration
- Move SchemaConfigFields to render after thinking effort (same
visual area as Claude's chrome toggle) instead of bottom of
config section
- Extract SelectField into its own component to fix React hooks
order violation when schema fields change between renders
- Add onAdapterChange() subscription in registry.ts so
registerUIAdapter() notifies components when dynamic parsers
load, fixing stale parser for old runs
- Add parserTick to both RunTranscriptView and
useLiveRunTranscripts to force recomputation on parser change
Re-align phase1 with upstream: hermes_local ships via hermes-paperclip-adapter on the server and UI (hermes-local module). Fixes ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE from server/package.json missing a dep still present in the lockfile.
Add shared BUILTIN_ADAPTER_TYPES and skip external plugin registration when it would override a built-in type. Docs list Hermes as built-in; Droid remains the primary external example.
Made-with: Cursor
- 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
The openclaw_gateway adapter hardcodes the Paperclip API key path to
~/.openclaw/workspace/paperclip-claimed-api-key.json in buildWakeText().
In multi-agent OpenClaw deployments, each agent has its own workspace
with its own key file. The hardcoded path forces all agents to share
one key, breaking agent identity isolation.
Add a claimedApiKeyPath field to the adapter config (with UI input)
that allows operators to set a per-agent path. Falls back to the
current default when unset — zero behavior change for existing
deployments.
Fixes#930
- Added hideInstructionsFile prop to AdapterConfigFieldsProps
- All adapter config-fields now conditionally hide the instructions file
field when hideInstructionsFile is set (used during import since the
AGENTS.md is automatically set as promptTemplate)
- Import adapter config panel now renders ClaudeLocalAdvancedFields
(Chrome, skip permissions, max turns) when claude_local is selected

Gemini CLI only registers run_shell_command in --approval-mode yolo.
Non-yolo modes don't expose it at all, making Paperclip API calls
impossible. Always pass --approval-mode yolo and remove the now-unused
policy engine code, approval mode config, and UI toggles.
Add a "Paperclip API access note" to the prompt with curl examples
via run_shell_command, since the universal SKILL.md is tool-agnostic.
Also extract structured question events from Gemini assistant messages
to support interactive approval flows.
