## 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.

## Risks
- Medium risk: this introduces a new built-in adapter package and
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.
> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with repository tool use,
shell execution, git operations, and local verification. Exact hosted
context window was not exposed in this environment.

New adapter type for invoking OpenClaw agents via the gateway protocol.
Registers in server, CLI, and UI adapter registries. Adds onboarding
wizard support with gateway URL field and e2e smoke test script.

Migrate from single-bundle CLI publishing to publishing all @paperclipai/*
packages individually via Changesets. This fixes the "Cannot find package
@paperclipai/server" error when installing from npm.
Changes:
- Add @changesets/cli with fixed versioning (all packages share version)
- Make 7 packages publishable (shared, adapter-utils, db, 3 adapters, server)
- Add build scripts, publishConfig, and files fields to all packages
- Mark @paperclipai/server as external in CLI esbuild config
- Simplify CLI importServerEntry() to use string-literal dynamic import
- Add generate-npm-package-json support for external workspace packages
- Create scripts/release.sh for one-command releases
- Remove old bump-and-publish.sh and version-bump.sh
- All packages start at version 0.2.0
Usage: ./scripts/release.sh patch|minor|major [--dry-run]
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Combines version bump, build, publish, restore, commit, and tag into
a single ./scripts/bump-and-publish.sh command. Supports --dry-run.
Also restores cli/package.json to dev format after v0.1.1 publish.

- Add esbuild config to bundle CLI with all workspace code for npm publishing
- Add build-npm.sh script that runs forbidden token check, type-check,
esbuild bundle, and generates publishable package.json
- Add generate-npm-package-json.mjs to resolve workspace:* refs to actual
npm dependencies for publishing
- Add version-bump.sh for patch/minor/major/explicit version bumping
- Add check-forbidden-tokens.mjs that scans codebase for forbidden tokens
(mirrors git hook logic, safe if token list is missing)
- Add esbuild as dev dependency
- Add build:npm, version:bump, check:tokens scripts to root package.json
- Update .gitignore for build artifacts

Rename all workspace packages from @paperclip/* to @paperclipai/* and
the CLI binary from `paperclip` to `paperclipai` in preparation for
npm publishing. Bump CLI version to 0.1.0 and add package metadata
(description, keywords, license, repository, files). Update all
imports, documentation, user-facing messages, and tests accordingly.

Introduce openclaw adapter package with server execution, CLI stream
formatting, and UI config fields. Register the adapter across CLI,
server, and UI registries. Add adapter label in all relevant pages.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add Better Auth, drizzle-orm, @dnd-kit, and remark-gfm dependencies.
Introduce DB schema for auth tables (user, session, account, verification),
company memberships, instance user roles, permission grants, invites, and
join requests. Add assigneeUserId to issues. Extend shared config schema
with deployment mode/exposure/auth settings, add access types and validators,
and wire up new API path constants.

Add HS256 JWT-based authentication for local adapters (claude_local, codex_local)
so agents authenticate automatically without manual API key configuration. The
server mints short-lived JWTs per heartbeat run and injects them as PAPERCLIP_API_KEY.
The auth middleware verifies JWTs alongside existing static API keys.
Includes: CLI onboard/doctor JWT secret management, env command for deployment,
config path resolution from ancestor directories, dotenv loading on server startup,
event payload secret redaction, multi-status issue filtering, and adapter transcript
parsing for thinking/user message kinds.

Extract claude-local and codex-local adapter code from cli/server/ui
into packages/adapters/ and packages/adapter-utils/. CLI, server, and
UI now import shared adapter logic instead of duplicating it. Removes
~1100 lines of duplicated code across packages. Register new packages
in pnpm workspace.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add cli/ package with initial scaffolding. Add config-schema to shared
package for typed configuration. Add server config-file loader for
paperclip.config.ts support. Register cli in pnpm workspace. Add
.paperclip/ and .pnpm-store/ to gitignore. Minor Companies page fix.
