Add a Fountain engine: fountain acp as an ACP driver - #245
Conversation
Fountain (BinaryBourbon/fountain) runs agents in sandboxes on a hosted instance; its CLI's `fountain acp` speaks the Agent Client Protocol on stdio, so it slots into the existing ACP driver core as one more support (server/drivers/acp/fountain.ts). Three things are different from every other ACP harness, and the support encodes each: - The model picker chooses a Fountain *agent*: an agent already carries its model, runtime, skills, MCP servers and environment. The catalog is `fountain agent list --json` filtered to ACP-capable runtimes, and the pick becomes `fountain acp --agent <id>`. A failed listing keeps the last catalog instead of emptying the picker. - The ACP session id is the Fountain conversation id, so the resume cursor core.ts already stores survives restarts and machines. - `fountain acp` ignores mcpServers/cwd (the agent runs elsewhere), so the support declares no MCP integrations. That needed a small core hook — AcpSupport.mcp — so a bot is never told it has a computer or peers its driver cannot mount. spawnArgs also now receives the child env, so per-instance knobs (FOUNTAIN_ACP_VAULT / _ENVIRONMENT → --vault / --environment) can become flags. Credentials stay the CLI's: sign-in is probed with `fountain auth whoami` (or trusted from FOUNTAIN_API_KEY), and no authenticate RPC is sent — the adapter advertises none when the CLI is signed in. Registered in builtIn.ts and the default fleet as a custom-only engine beside qwen/hermes, with a provider mark, docs/fountain.md, and a test file that runs the driver against the shared fake ACP CLI (argv, env plumbing, catalog, sign-in probe, canonical event sequence). Verified live against a real instance: 24-agent catalog, one turn streamed to turn.completed, the conversation visible in `fountain conv list`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
access: "custom" routes the picker to the local-models (inject) pane, where a catalog of hosted agents never lists — the picker showed "No local models found". The agents run on a hosted instance and the catalog is a real one, so the engine is subscription/cloud-rail like claude and codex. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Enforce disabled MCP capabilities before sending ACP requests.
Lines 683-685 only hide capabilities from the adapter. acpMcpServers(turn) still includes agents, composio, and computer definitions in session/load and session/new. For Fountain, this can send MCP commands and credential values, including computer.token, to the hosted CLI.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Use config.cli for every Fountain CLI invocation.
At Line 87, cliName ignores the instance config.cli. ACP spawning and version probing use config.cli, but catalog discovery and fountain auth whoami use only FOUNTAIN_CLI or fountain.
When an instance uses a custom CLI path, discovery can return an empty catalog and authentication can report false even though the configured ACP binary works. Set FOUNTAIN_CLI from config.cli in transformEnv, or pass config.cli through the runner contract. Add coverage for a custom config.cli.

Subscribe before sending the turn.
The completion listener is registered after sendTurn resolves. If a fast response or immediate error emits turn.completed first, this promise never resolves and instance.dispose() does not run. Create the completion promise before calling sendTurn.

Thanks for the contribution but I’m closing this for now because I’d prefer a provider-neutral remote ACP/execution layer rather than adding Fountain as a built-in engine. We can revisit this direction later. |

that makes sense. i wish i had thought of that sooner! ha. new PR on the
