Prime Agent is not selectable in T3 Code. This adds it as an ACP provider.

Prime Agent already speaks ACP (prime-agent --mode acp), so this reuses the existing effect-acp stack instead of a new protocol adapter:

  • New primeAgent driver, provider snapshot, and ACP adapter. Each thread gets its own process because Prime Agent fixes its cwd at startup and hosts one session per connection.
  • Health probes prime-agent --version, so a status poll never starts Prime Agent's daemon or Python kernel.
  • Models and slash commands come from the session's ACP config options once a turn starts.
  • Settings, instance registration, presentation order, model manifest, and the web and mobile icons are wired.
  • AcpSessionRuntime now skips authenticate when a driver sets no authMethodId. Prime Agent advertises no auth methods and reads credentials from the environment or its own login, so an unconditional authenticate call would fail against it.

Not included yet:

  • Text generation is unsupported (supportsTextGeneration: false); Prime Agent has no lightweight completion path, only the full ACP session or RPC mode.
  • Session resume is unsupported; Prime Agent advertises loadSession: false.
  • Prime Agent's _meta extensions (subagents, goals, heartbeats, refinement) are ignored.

This is a large feature PR that adds a driver. CONTRIBUTING.md says feature work is unlikely to be accepted without a prior discussion, so treat it as a starting point rather than a finished contribution.

Implemented by openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4.1-flash in T3 Code.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Prime Agent as an early-access provider, with setup and availability checks, model selection, and session support.
    • Added Prime Agent icons across web and mobile.
    • Prime Agent sessions support prompts with text and supported file attachments.
  • Limitations
    • Commit messages, pull request content, branch names, and thread titles cannot be generated with Prime Agent; choose another provider for these tasks.

🟠 High Drivers/PrimeAgentDriver.ts:97

A non-zero exit from prime-agent --version is treated as a successful health probe, so makePrimeAgentProvider marks a broken or misconfigured executable as installed with version unknown until session startup fails. Check result.code and fail the probe when it is non-zero before constructing the initialize response.

Fixed in ecedee6. The probe now fails with a ProviderSetupError when --version exits non-zero instead of reporting the executable as installed.

🟠 High acp/PrimeAgentAcpSupport.ts:151

Text files whose MIME type is application/octet-stream are rejected by buildPrimeAgentPrompt, so files such as example.tsx never reach Prime Agent even though the error claims text files are supported. The textFile check only examines MIME type; accept known text filename extensions (as elsewhere in ACP attachment handling) or infer the MIME type before this check.

Fixed in ecedee6. Text detection now also accepts known text file extensions, so .tsx and similar files pass with an octet-stream MIME type.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change adds Prime Agent as a configurable provider. It defines provider settings and model metadata, starts ACP sessions, handles prompts and provider events, tracks provider status and workspace snapshots, and registers Prime Agent in server and client interfaces.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ef38f

Prime Agent can use its advertised no-auth-method ACP flow, while other production ACP callers retain their authentication methods. No actionable merge risk is evident.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ef38f

The new provider is opt-in and routes tool requests through approval, but its requested operating mode is not applied to the agent. It also starts a process with environment-backed credentials; authorization before that process starts remains unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Prime Agent reports the requested runtime mode without applying it to the native session or using it to govern permission responses. Its effective mode can therefore differ from the session contract; native requests still require an individual approval.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The independently exposed unit is an enabled provider session: its child process receives a selected workspace and provider environment. Whether an untrusted public caller can select that unit is not established by the inspected caller path.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A caller's requested runtime mode is reflected in session state without corresponding native-mode enforcement. The inspected path still waits for approval of native tool requests, limiting the demonstrated attack path; no unauthorized execution was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The registry's credential-change and access wrapper applies only when an instance supplies auth controls. The new Prime Agent instance does not supply that auth metadata; its credentials instead come from the process environment or its own login. Application authorization before ProviderService remains unverified.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Permission handling checks native session identity, and session teardown cancels pending approvals. These controls reduce cross-session response and stranded-approval risk during replacement or interruption.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define and enforce Prime Agent's supported runtime-mode policy at session startup or permission handling, and verify the public caller's workspace and instance authorization before process creation.

In `@apps/server/src/provider/acp/PrimeAgentAcpSupport.ts`:
- Around line 82-127: Align primeAgentModelOptions, resolvePrimeAgentModel, and
applyPrimeAgentAcpModelSelection with buildPrimeAgentModelsFromSession by using
the same lookup for model options, including categorized options with other IDs
and the models-block fallback. Preserve the negotiated config-option ID and use
setModel for config options; when models are exposed only through the models
block, resolve the current and available model state and use setSessionModel.

In `@apps/server/src/provider/Drivers/PrimeAgentDriver.ts`:
- Around line 87-95: Update the `spawnAndCollect` error mapping in
`PrimeAgentDriver` to use the not-installed detail only when
`isCommandMissingCause(cause)` or the cause’s error code identifies `ENOENT`.
For all other causes, use a generic start-failure detail that does not match
`isMissingInstallation`’s not-installed or missing checks.
- Around line 80-86: Update the version probe in the `PrimeAgentDriver` probe
flow to use `resolveSpawnCommand` before spawning. Pass its resolved command,
arguments, and shell value to `ChildProcess.make`, preserving the `--version`
probe behavior.

In `@packages/contracts/src/settings.ts`:
- Line 1289: Update fallbackTextGenerationProvider in serverSettings.ts to skip
providers that do not support text generation, including primeAgent, before
checking whether each provider is enabled. Keep the existing enabled-state
resolution for supported providers so fallback selects the first enabled
text-generation provider.
