Scoped agent permissions, layered routine secrets, document locks
What this changes for operators
- Multi-agent operators: re-evaluate Paperclip's authz model. The principal-access backfill means pre-existing data is being normalized to the new model — confirm any operator action needed for older versions.
- Secret-handling operators: read PR #6212 before configuring routine env in a deployment where secrets matter — the
agent < project < routineprecedence is a structural operator concept. - Approval-discipline operators: migrate to lock-backed approval; document locks give approval a persistent surface.
- ACPX-Claude operators: confirm
~/.claude/settings.jsonis configured as the source of truth for Claude permissions — the Paperclip control plane defers to it.
