v2026.824.0: sandbox capability contract resolves fail-closed; managed previews default to Tailscale HTTPS. Providers declare capabilities, the live worker verifies them, and the server resolves the effective set as the intersection of declared, verified and configured, fail-closed. Three operator flags were deleted (streamAgentSessionOutput, Daytona useSessions, useLogStream); they load but are inert. Managed worktree runtimes now default to tailscale_https exposure when the host broker is present (PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_RUNTIME_HTTPS=off to opt out, force to fail closed). v2026.831.0 adds PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS (hiding company.import also floors the API) and a managed-sandbox-only mode arrived in 824.0.

Channel: tagged-release. Half: both. Date: 2026-08-25.

Operator consequence: Delete the three inert keys; they no longer control anything and give a false reading on audit. If you run the Tailscale broker, agent branch previews are now reachable from the tailnet by default; set off if previews should stay loopback.
