What Changed

Adds Devin as an opt-in provider so people can use their Devin CLI account for T3 Code threads. T3 launches the local devin acp process and uses the CLI's existing authentication and account-specific model catalog.

The integration covers streaming chat, file tools and permission approvals, text/image attachments, cancellation, model switching, and saved-session loading. It adds provider settings and model-picker presentation for web/desktop and React Native mobile, plus Devin-backed thread titles and source-control text generation.

Why

This branch's base has no built-in Devin provider. Running Devin through its official Agent Client Protocol (ACP) interface lets users work from T3 with the same account they use in the CLI. Background health checks use CLI status commands and do not launch login browsers; interactive new sessions can request sign-in when credentials are missing.

Proof

Devin enabled in Settings → Providers, probed against the real Devin CLI (v3000.10.27, authenticated, 385 account models):

Devin's models in the thread model picker:

Try this PR

This PR is currently unmerged. The commands below fetch its complete head from the upstream repository. Cloning the contributor's fork is unnecessary; cloning upstream main alone does not include an unmerged PR.

1. Install and sign in to Devin

Install Devin CLI on the machine that will run the T3 server, under the same OS account, then run:

devin auth login
devin auth status

Use your own Devin account. For a remote T3 environment, install and authenticate Devin on that server. T3 starts devin acp itself.

2. Check out the PR and start T3

Prerequisites: Git, Node 24.13.1 or newer within 24.x, and the Vite Plus CLI (vp). Open a new terminal after installing the CLIs.

From a directory where you want a fresh checkout:

git clone https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code.git t3code-devin
cd t3code-devin
git fetch origin pull/11356/head:devin-provider
git switch devin-provider
vp i
vp run dev --home-dir .t3-devin

Open the full one-time pairing URL printed by the dev runner, including its token. This starts the web client and server with development state in the checkout's .t3-devin directory. It does not install a desktop release.

For Electron development instead, use vp run dev:desktop --home-dir .t3-devin after installing the platform prerequisites in the development runbook.

3. Enable Devin in T3

In Settings → Providers, add a provider instance with the Devin driver and enable it. Leave Binary path as devin if it is on the server's PATH; otherwise enter the full path to the installed executable. Start a new thread and select a model offered by your account.

Implementation notes

  • Reuses stored CLI credentials or configured credential environment variables (DEVIN_API_KEY, WINDSURF_API_KEY). T3 checks credential-file existence without reading their contents; on Windows it checks both %APPDATA% and %LOCALAPPDATA%.
  • Discovers models using devin models list --format json; session model changes use ACP config options. Saved sessions load through session/load, with bounded retries for transient session locks.
  • MCP: devin acp advertises mcpCapabilities: { http: false, sse: false }, so the T3 MCP server can't be handed over as a direct type: "http" entry. The adapter reads agentCapabilities.mcpCapabilities after initialize; when HTTP MCP is advertised it passes the HTTP entry, otherwise it generates a small stdio↔HTTP bridge script (apps/server/src/mcp/McpStdioBridge.ts) and launches it as an ACP stdio MCP server (command: process.execPath, no type field per the ACP schema). The bridge preserves bearer auth and implements the stateful Streamable HTTP handshake (initialize → mcp-session-id → protocol-version headers on subsequent requests), so tools like link_pull_request keep working for stdio-only agents.
  • Includes regression coverage for authentication gating, settings, model discovery/selection, permissions, cancellation, session loading, the MCP bridge, and text generation.

Validation

  • Focused tests on head 47c4e2cb66: McpStdioBridge.test.ts (2), DevinAcpSupport.test.ts (17), DevinAdapter.test.ts (13), plus the broader Devin/provider/text-generation run — all pass. The one transient failure in that run was ProviderRegistry codex binaryPath re-probe ordering, a documented flake that passed on isolated re-run.
  • Scoped typecheck and lint on the touched files pass; formatting clean.
  • Live verification on this head (screenshots above): Devin probed against the real CLI, enabled, models populated, and a real turn completed end-to-end.

Conversation rollback and ACP elicitation (structured follow-up questions) are unsupported. This PR does not add a native SwiftUI implementation.

Checklist

  • This PR is small and focused (one provider integration, but a large diff)
  • I explained what changed and why
  • I included before/after screenshots for any UI changes

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR adds a substantial Devin provider integration spanning ACP sessions, authentication, model discovery, MCP transport bridging, text generation, and web/mobile presentation. It also changes product model defaults and introduces new static-analysis suppressions, making the scope and review risk unsuitable for automatic approval.

Use APPDATA for Windows credential discovery.

Devin CLI stores credentials at %APPDATA%\devin\credentials.toml, but this code checks %LOCALAPPDATA%. This causes devinHasAmbientCredentials to miss valid Windows credentials. When browserAuth is enabled, resolveDevinAuthMethodId then starts an unnecessary browser flow.

-  const localAppData = environment?.LOCALAPPDATA?.trim();
-  if (localAppData) {
-    candidates.add([localAppData, "devin", "credentials.toml"].join("/"));
+  const appData = environment?.APPDATA?.trim();
+  if (appData) {
+    candidates.add([appData, "devin", "credentials.toml"].join("/"));

Add a Windows-path test. (Devin CLI documentation)

Include %APPDATA%\devin\credentials.toml in ambient credential discovery. devinCredentialsFilePaths checks only LOCALAPPDATA, but the Devin CLI stores Windows login credentials under %APPDATA%\devin\credentials.toml. User-initiated sessions enable browserAuth, so this omission returns devin-browser and opens unnecessary browser authentication for logged-in users.

First, unrelated to the bug below: I have run a lot of threads on this branch with the Devin CLI now, and the experience is very good. It also holds up driving a remote machine, where most of my threads actually run. Thanks for the work on it.

Running this branch locally, the t3-code MCP server never reaches Devin, so no Devin thread has link_pull_request (or any other T3 tool). Agents notice and say so: "t3-code's link_pull_request MCP isn't exposed in this session, so the PR wasn't registered with the thread."

Cause: Devin's ACP handshake declines both remote MCP transports.

"mcpCapabilities":{"http":false,"sse":false}

DevinAdapter.ts:556-570 passes the session server as type: "http" with an Authorization header, which is what the Codex, Cursor and Grok adapters do and what those agents accept. Devin advertises neither http nor sse, so it ignores the entry and starts with no MCP server attached. Nothing in the adapter checks the advertised capability, so this fails silently.

Since ACP's default transport is stdio, and Devin does support stdio MCP (devin mcp add <name> -- <command>), one fix would be to emit a stdio entry when the runtime reports http: false — a small bridge process forwarding to the session endpoint with the same header. No adapter emits type: "stdio" today, so that would be new surface.

Environment: devin 3000.10.21 (611c1cba), macOS 26 arm64 and Ubuntu 24.04 (WSL2), both affected.

github-actions Bot and others added 11 commits September 16, 2026 13:55
Adds a native devin provider driver that spawns `devin acp`, so T3 can run
Devin's SWE-2 models through the installed Devin CLI. Ambient credentials
(WINDSURF_API_KEY or the CLI's credentials.toml, including XDG/LOCALAPPDATA
locations) skip the ACP authenticate call entirely, so starting a thread no
longer opens a browser when the CLI is already signed in. The devin-browser
auth method is only sent on interactive session start when no credentials
exist.

Health probes are CLI-only (devin version, devin auth status,
devin models list --format json) and never spawn devin acp. Devin exposes
its catalog through a category "model" session config option rather than
SessionModelState, so model and mode switches go through
session/set_config_option; resume uses session/load.

Includes the adapter (session lifecycle, permissions, cancel/drain steering,
resume model fallback), managed provider snapshot, text generation, settings
contracts, web/mobile presentation, a devin profile for the mock ACP agent,
and gated real-CLI probe tests.

Model: SWE-2 High via Devin CLI in T3 Code.
Production swe-2 threads showed 5 'session already open in another
process' failures when a second devin acp process resumed a session
still held by another process. Devin marks the error session_locked +
retryable, so the ACP runtime now supports a bounded sessionLoadRetry
(3 retries, 1.5s apart, gated on a per-provider predicate) and Devin
opts in for session-locked failures only. Exhausted retries surface a
clean actionable error instead of the raw JSON-RPC message.

The CLI also honors DEVIN_API_KEY (Cognition REST tokens, apk_/cog_
prefixes) for headless auth. Without it in the ambient check, a signed-in
user with only that env var would get a devin-browser popup on thread
start. Signed-out test environments blank it so host envs can't leak in.

The Devin CLI stores its user credentials under %APPDATA%\devin on
Windows; only %LOCALAPPDATA% was checked, so a signed-in Windows user
could get a spurious devin-browser prompt. APPDATA is now a candidate
alongside LOCALAPPDATA, and the signed-out test fixtures redirect it.

devin acp advertises mcpCapabilities { http: false, sse: false }, so
the type: "http" t3-code MCP server was silently dropped and threads
had no link_pull_request or other T3 tools. AcpSessionRuntime now
accepts an mcpServers resolver that receives the agent's advertised
mcpCapabilities after initialize, and the Devin adapter emits a stdio
entry pointing at a self-contained Node bridge script written into the
state directory. The bridge speaks newline-delimited JSON-RPC on stdio
and relays to the streamable-HTTP endpoint, preserving the bearer
header and replaying mcp-session-id / mcp-protocol-version on
follow-up requests. Agents that do advertise http keep the direct
entry, which also remains the fallback when the bridge script cannot
be written. The adapter also merges the provider instance environment
with the agent-device environment the same way the other ACP adapters
do.

Good catch — that was a real bug. devin acp advertises mcpCapabilities: { http: false, sse: false }, so the type: "http" entry was ignored and no T3 tools ever reached the session.

Fixed in 47c4e2c exactly along the lines you suggested:

  • AcpSessionRuntime now accepts an mcpServers resolver that is called with the agent's advertised mcpCapabilities after initialize, so the transport choice is capability-driven rather than static.
  • When http isn't advertised, the adapter emits a stdio entry that launches a small self-contained bridge script (node <stateDir>/mcp-stdio-bridge.mjs). The bridge speaks newline-delimited JSON-RPC on stdio and relays to the existing streamable-HTTP /mcp endpoint, forwarding the bearer header and replaying mcp-session-id / mcp-protocol-version on follow-up requests (with pipelined messages held until the handshake returns the session id).
  • An agent that does advertise http still gets the direct entry, and it remains the fallback if the bridge script can't be written.

Covered by apps/server/src/mcp/McpStdioBridge.test.ts (spawns the real bridge against a stub HTTP endpoint) and two adapter tests asserting the session/new mcpServers payload shape for both capability outcomes.

- decline permission/elicitation/extension requests during Devin text
  generation so short-lived turns cannot stall on input that never arrives
- pass linkedContext and surface needsRefinement for Devin thread titles
- keep a saved Devin model visible in the picker while unavailable
- fail a Devin sendTurn that captured a session replaced mid-preparation
- give concurrent MCP bridge writes unique temp files

A non-2xx response carrying a JSON body was forwarded to stdout as if it
were an MCP message, so the request id never received a reply. Gate body
forwarding on response.ok and route all HTTP failures through the
synthesized JSON-RPC error path.

Squash of the 13 PR commits. Fork adaptations: DevinAdapter injects the
mt-desktop desktop MCP (Computer Use) like Cursor/Grok; AcpSessionRuntime keeps
skipAuthenticate + resolveAcpAuthMethodId alongside the PR's optional
authMethodId; Devin added to the web model picker/settings-search seams.

Thanks for the PR. We're not taking changes to the orchestration and provider layers right now: that part of the server is being rewritten for V2, and merging into the current code would either conflict with or be thrown away by that work.

Closing for now. If this is still an issue once V2 lands, please reopen (or open a fresh PR against the new code) and we'll take a proper look.
