Dotta f60c1001ec refactor: rename packages to @paperclipai and CLI binary to paperclipai
Rename all workspace packages from @paperclip/* to @paperclipai/* and
the CLI binary from `paperclip` to `paperclipai` in preparation for
npm publishing. Bump CLI version to 0.1.0 and add package metadata
(description, keywords, license, repository, files). Update all
imports, documentation, user-facing messages, and tests accordingly.

Deployment Overview Deployment modes at a glance

Paperclip supports three deployment configurations, from zero-friction local to internet-facing production.

Deployment Modes

Mode Auth Best For
local_trusted No login required Single-operator local machine
authenticated + private Login required Private network (Tailscale, VPN, LAN)
authenticated + public Login required Internet-facing cloud deployment

Quick Comparison

Local Trusted (Default)

  • Loopback-only host binding (localhost)
  • No human login flow
  • Fastest local startup
  • Best for: solo development and experimentation

Authenticated + Private

  • Login required via Better Auth
  • Binds to all interfaces for network access
  • Auto base URL mode (lower friction)
  • Best for: team access over Tailscale or local network

Authenticated + Public

  • Login required
  • Explicit public URL required
  • Stricter security checks
  • Best for: cloud hosting, internet-facing deployment

Choosing a Mode

  • Just trying Paperclip? Use local_trusted (the default)
  • Sharing with a team on private network? Use authenticated + private
  • Deploying to the cloud? Use authenticated + public

Set the mode during onboarding:

pnpm paperclipai onboard

Or update it later:

pnpm paperclipai configure --section server
