Evidence record / paperclip

A dated record of one change, kept so the writing that cites it can be checked. Compiled from the sources listed below by the research run, not written for reading. The judgment lives in the issues that cite it, below.

2026-10-24-paperclip-beta-edits-agent-connections-and-default-models-in-bulk

Beta edits agent connections and default models in bulk. The 2026-10-22 roster editor applies harness-scoped connection/model changes with value previews and per-agent results. Existing authorized configuration writes recheck expected settings, connection/model compatibility and current authority; retries touch remaining failures. Pools and externally managed agents are excluded. Running work retains its settings, and model/connection changes can require fresh sessions. This is a management change, not a provider-performance gain.

Channel: preview-or-beta. Half: both. Date: 2026-10-23.

Operator consequence: Trial 2026.1023.0-beta.0 to remove repeated roster edits, but inspect the selected agents and each saved result. A wrong shared model or connection now reaches a group more conveniently too. Record session resets and actual model/connection selection before attributing a workload difference to the harness.
