What changed

Adds Factory Droid as an engine: server/drivers/acp/droid.ts (droidAgent, over
droid exec -o acp), the registration in builtIn.ts, and a default-instance entry
in config.ts, matching how Kimi landed in #98.

Two optional hooks on AcpSupport in acp/core.ts, both no-ops for the existing
harnesses:

  • configureSession() runs between session/new (or session/load) and the first
    session/prompt.
  • resolveModels() supplies a per-instance model catalog, falling back to the
    driver's static list if it is absent or throws.

windowsKnownDirs() in env-path.ts gains ~/bin, which is where the Windows
installer puts droid.exe.

Why

Droid is the one ACP harness here that does not take session settings from argv.
droid exec --help says so under "Stream JSON-RPC Mode": "CLI flags do not
configure JSON-RPC sessions: -m/--model, --auto, -r/--reasoning-effort ... are
still validated, but session settings come from JSON-RPC requests."
Confirmed
against 0.196.0: droid exec -m claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 --auto high -o acp still
reported currentModelId and currentModeId from the CLI's own config. So a model
that only reaches spawnArgs is accepted and then ignored, and the turn silently
runs whatever ~/.factory/settings.json selected. configureSession() is the only
place the pick can land; a rejected setting fails the turn rather than quietly
running something else, with a message naming the engine, the setting and the
method. Autonomy is set the same way, and both are always explicit so a mode or
model pinned in settings.json can neither make a session yolo nor make fullAuto
ask.

resolveModels() exists because droid's catalog is half user-local: custom:
providers (Azure, a local LM Studio server, ...), modelFavorites ordering, and
sessionDefaultSettings.model all live in settings.json, and none of it can be
enumerated statically. Without it the picker shows a list that does not match what
droid itself offers.

Sign-in detection checks all three credential filenames droid can write
(auth.v2.file, auth.v2.loginkeychain, auth.v2.keyring): which one exists
depends on the account's secure_auth_storage flag, so checking only the first
reports a freshly signed-in macOS user as signed out. FACTORY_HOME_OVERRIDE
replaces the CLI's HOME, not its data root, so the .factory segment is kept on
both branches (verified: FACTORY_HOME_OVERRIDE=/tmp/x produces
/tmp/x/.factory/).

How it was verified

pnpm typecheck, pnpm test (35 files, 295 passed / 8 skipped) and
pnpm check:electron green on macOS 15 (Apple silicon), against droid 0.196.0.

Against the real CLI:

  • initialize: protocolVersion 1, loadSession: true, promptCapabilities
    image + embeddedContext, authMethods device-pairing + factory-api-key
  • session/new advertises modes normal | spec | auto-low | auto-medium | auto-high; normal is "Auto-approves only read operations", auto-high is
    "Auto-approves all actions"
  • session/set_mode and session/set_model both accepted; unknown values return
    -32602 ("Invalid autonomy mode", "Model not recognized"), which is the failure
    the driver wraps
  • A full turn in normal mode against a local provider: droid raised
    session/request_permission for a file write with allow_once /
    allow_always / reject_once, rejecting it left the file uncreated, and the
    turn settled end_turn
  • Install one-liners fetched: the POSIX script is #!/usr/bin/env sh and installs
    to ~/.local/bin (already covered by knownDirs()); the Windows PowerShell
    installer writes droid.exe to %USERPROFILE%\bin, hence the env-path.ts line
  • ~/.factory/settings.json is byte-identical after every set_mode/set_model,
    so these are session-scoped and do not rewrite the user's CLI config

New tests cover argv hygiene (no -m in argv, exactly ["exec","-o","acp"]), the
mode/model calls landing over the wire in both fullAuto states, the wrapped error
when an agent predates the methods (a new no-session-config mode in the scripted
fake CLI), credential resolution across FACTORY_HOME_OVERRIDE / child HOME /
FACTORY_API_KEY / the keychain filename, and catalog resolution plus its fallback.

Screenshots (UI changes)

None; no UI changes in this PR. Droid does not get an Onboarding row, matching Kimi
today. Happy to add rows for both if you want that step to cover every default-fleet
engine, or to make it render from instances instead, but that felt like a separate
concern from adding the driver.

Checklist

  • pnpm typecheck and pnpm test pass locally
  • Server behavior changes come with tests (see CONTRIBUTING.md, Tests)
  • No dist-server/ edits (it's build output)
  • macOS-only code is platform-gated; no shell: true / cmd.exe string-building
  • No secrets in logs, responses, events, or argv

Notes

FACTORY_API_KEY is left in the child environment rather than stripped the way
grok.ts and kimi.ts strip their vendor keys, because droid advertises it as an
auth method and an API-key-only user has no other route. It is checked last in
isAuthenticated, so an ambient key can never be the thing that makes a
logged-out instance look ready. Say the word if you would rather it be stripped.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for Factory Droid as a built-in agent.
    • Droid supports authentication through API keys or local credentials.
    • Added configurable model selection and autonomy settings.
    • Added cross-platform installation detection, including Windows executable paths.
    • Droid now applies model and autonomy settings during session setup.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved fallback handling when model settings are unavailable or unreadable.
    • Added clearer errors for unsupported or incompatible session configuration.

Adds `droidAgent`, backed by `droid exec -o acp`, plus the registration and
default-instance entry.

Droid is the one ACP harness here that does not take session settings from
argv. `droid exec --help` states it under "Stream JSON-RPC Mode": CLI flags
do not configure JSON-RPC sessions, so a `-m` passed through spawnArgs is
validated and then ignored, and the session silently runs whatever
~/.factory/settings.json selected. Two small hooks on AcpSupport cover it:

  configureSession() applies model and autonomy over the wire between
  session/new (or session/load) and the first prompt. Both are always
  explicit, so a mode or model pinned in settings.json can never decide how
  a turn runs. A rejected setting fails the turn with a message naming the
  engine, the setting and the method.

  resolveModels() reads the user-local catalog, since droid's real model
  list is half per-machine: `custom:` providers, modelFavorites ordering,
  and sessionDefaultSettings.model all live in settings.json. Unreadable
  settings fall back to the static built-in slice.

Sign-in detection checks all three credential filenames droid can write
(auth.v2.file, auth.v2.loginkeychain, auth.v2.keyring), since which one
exists depends on the account's secure_auth_storage flag, and honours
FACTORY_HOME_OVERRIDE, which replaces the CLI's HOME rather than its data
root. windowsKnownDirs() gains ~/bin, where the Windows installer puts
droid.exe, so the app finds it without a restart.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds the Droid ACP driver, registers it as a built-in driver and default instance, resolves Factory authentication and models, and configures model and autonomy through ACP session requests.

Changes

Droid ACP integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
ACP session and model resolution
server/drivers/acp/core.ts
ACP supports per-instance model catalogs and asynchronous session configuration. Session startup is recorded before configuration errors fail the turn.
Droid authentication and session behavior
server/drivers/acp/droid.ts
The driver starts Droid through ACP, detects credentials, resolves Factory models, and sends autonomy and model settings through ACP requests.
Droid availability and installation
server/drivers/builtIn.ts, server/config.ts, server/env-path.ts
Droid is registered as a built-in driver, added to the default instances, and discovered in the Windows user bin directory.
Session and catalog validation
server/drivers/acp/acp.test.ts, server/testing/fake-acp-cli.ts
Tests cover Droid installation, authentication, model resolution, session configuration, and unsupported session methods. The fake ACP CLI records configuration calls.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 13463

The PR is merge-ready after normal checks; one minor follow-up remains to make the test fixture reject malformed session configuration before recording success.
