# Software Factory: Paperclip Integration ​

Close the loop: Plan, Build, Test, Verify, Ship — orchestrated through Paperclip with JWT auth.

## Pipeline ​

    PLAN ---> BUILD ---> TEST ---> VERIFY ---> SHIP
     CEO      Agent     CI/CD     Verifier    Paperclip
     Board    Chains    Pipeline  Agent       Heartbeat
                              (all JWT authenticated)

## Authentication Tiers ​

Tier | Trust Model | Token | Use Case
--- | --- | --- | ---
1. Local | Same machine | Short-lived JWT (48h) | Local dev
2. CLI | Shell access | Long-lived API key | Remote agents
3. Self-register | Autonomous | Invite URL to JWT | OpenClaw agents

## Quick Start ​

bash

    cd paperclip
    pnpm dev --bind lan
    curl -sS http://127.0.0.1:3100/api/health | jq

## Status ​

Paperclip's auth plan documents all 3 tiers. Tier 1 is partially implemented — env vars are passed but `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY` (JWT) needs to be added to the env injection. This is the last code change needed to close the factory loop.
