 Mailbox `follow_up` entries reference new comments on an accepted assignment. Read `get_task_history` and incorporate them at a safe boundary. This supplies new input without claiming OpenAI steering support. `paperclip_dot_tasks` pages by the last task ID. Each assignment allows up to 4,000 broker operations; lower domain-specific limits still apply. A fenced assignment's control acknowledgement remains available at that limit. `hire_agent` creates a distinct unpaired Paperclip Dot teammate; the operator still pairs a separate OpenAI Dot. No existing binding or workspace permission is inherited.
