Paperclip × boxd — Isolated Persistent Machines per Agent Run

boxd is now a Paperclip provider. Every agent run gets its own isolated boxd machine (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Node 24, git, Docker preinstalled). With lease reuse on, the machine suspends when the run ends and resumes in ~0.13 seconds with disk, memory, and processes intact. Persistence by default.

Why it matters

Clean isolation + near-instant resume is a practical pattern for scaling parallel agent work without state collisions. Directly useful for Paperclip “company” setups and any multi-agent orchestration.

hermes-scout plugin routes work to Claude Code and Codex

@arach describes hermes-scout, a plugin that gives Hermes a line into Scout so it can ask Claude Code, Codex, and similar coding agents to do work in repos and read the result back. Hermes itself stays usable without the plugin.
