+# Paperclip agent operation groups
+
+Status: canonical explanatory contract for the Paperclip runner V1 surface.
+
+This document keeps three independent meanings of **group** separate. PRP families describe wire evidence and controller commands; capability placement decides who owns an operation; behavioral eval groups organize the 106 scenario corpus. None of the three axes can be used as a substitute for another.
+
+The generated totals are **65 PRP events in 15 event families**, **13 controller commands in 6 command families**, **10 control-plane operations**, **41 reconciled semantic operations** (14 always, 27 optional), and **106 scenarios in 16 behavior groups**.
+
+## Axis 1: PRP v1 event and command families
+
+PRP records ordered, replayable execution evidence. It is not the model's Paperclip tool API. Events are ordered per `sourceInstanceId`; duplicate `sourceEventId` values are idempotent; source-sequence gaps remain evidence; replay is side-effect free; unknown required versions fail closed.
+
+### Event families
+
+| Family | Purpose | Events | Count |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
+| `runner` | Runner connection, drain, and diagnostic lifecycle. | `runner.connected`<br>`runner.reconnected`<br>`runner.disconnected`<br>`runner.draining`<br>`runner.diagnostic` | 5 |
+| `runtime` | Runner phase transitions. | `runtime.phase.changed` | 1 |
+| `sandbox` | Sandbox resource measurements. | `sandbox.metric` | 1 |
+| `workspace` | Workspace readiness. | `workspace.ready` | 1 |
+| `harness` | Provider harness startup, readiness, exit, and diagnostics. | `harness.starting`<br>`harness.ready`<br>`harness.exited`<br>`harness.diagnostic` | 4 |
+| `session` | Provider-neutral session open, resume, reconciliation, close, and failure. | `session.starting`<br>`session.started`<br>`session.resuming`<br>`session.resumed`<br>`session.reconciled`<br>`session.closed`<br>`session.failed` | 7 |
+| `turn` | Model turn submission through terminal turn disposition. | `turn.submitted`<br>`turn.accepted`<br>`turn.started`<br>`turn.completed`<br>`turn.failed`<br>`turn.interrupted`<br>`turn.cancelled` | 7 |

+| `runtime_request` | Runtime permission/input request lifecycle. | `runtime_request.created`<br>`runtime_request.resolved`<br>`runtime_request.expired`<br>`runtime_request.cancelled` | 4 |
+| `interaction` | Issue-thread interaction proposal, materialization, response, delivery, and rejection. | `interaction.request.proposed`<br>`interaction.request.materialized`<br>`interaction.request.rejected`<br>`interaction.response.progressed`<br>`interaction.response.resolved`<br>`interaction.response.delivered` | 6 |
+| `run` | Structured result negotiation and terminal run outcome. | `run.result.proposed`<br>`run.result.accepted`<br>`run.result.rejected`<br>`run.terminal` | 4 |
+| `attention` | Continuation and attention routing lifecycle. | `attention.request.proposed`<br>`attention.request.routed`<br>`attention.request.resolved`<br>`attention.request.expired`<br>`attention.request.superseded` | 5 |
+| `work` | Recorded work-assessment evidence. | `work.assessment.recorded` | 1 |
+| `issue` | Issue-status decision proposal outcome and application evidence. | `issue.status.decision.recorded`<br>`issue.status.decision.applied`<br>`issue.status.decision.rejected`<br>`issue.status.decision.superseded` | 4 |
+
+### Controller-command families
+
+| Family | Purpose | Commands | Count |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: |
+| `run` | Prepare or cancel a run. | `run.prepare`<br>`run.cancel` | 2 |
+| `session` | Open, snapshot, or close a normalized provider session. | `session.open`<br>`session.snapshot`<br>`session.close` | 3 |

+| `interaction` | Acknowledge delivery of an interaction response. | `interaction.receipt` | 1 |
+| `runner` | Drain or shut down the runner process. | `runner.drain`<br>`runner.shutdown` | 2 |
+
+## Axis 2: capability placement
+
+Placement has exactly three outcomes:
+
+- `control_plane_owned`: Paperclip or the runner performs the operation; it is absent from the model tool catalog.
+- `always_agent_tool`: every eligible active-task run receives the operation after task-mode and actor checks.
+- `optional_agent_tool`: the operation is exposed only when every declared claim, task-mode, role, and policy condition passes.
+
+### Control-plane-owned operations
+
+| Operation | Why it is not a model tool |
+| --- | --- |
+| `checkout_task` | Atomic checkout and execution-lock ownership. |
+| `release_task` | Run cleanup and checkout release. |
+| `select_work` | Scoped wake/inbox work selection. |
+| `route_wake` | Attention, blocker, interaction, approval, and continuation routing. |
+| `enforce_budget` | Budget hard stop, pause, and run-stop reason. |
+| `append_audit_record` | Immutable mutation evidence. |
+| `persist_run` | Durable run/event/checkpoint persistence. |
+| `replay_run` | Side-effect-free replay and reconstruction. |
+| `schedule_blocker_wake` | Dependency-resolution wake scheduling. |
+| `reconcile_run` | Work assessment, terminal status arbitration, and recovery reconciliation. |
+
+### Always-agent operations (14)
+
+`answer_status_question`, `block_task`, `finish_task`, `get_task_context`, `get_task_history`, `inspect_operation_result`, `list_document_revisions`, `list_documents`, `read_document`, `register_deliverable`, `report_progress`, `request_human_input`, `request_review`, `write_document`.
+
+### Optional operations (27) and grant groups (11)
+
+Grant groups are documentation/exposure bundles, not additional authority. The operation descriptor's exact `requiredClaims` remains decisive.
+
+| Grant group | Operations | Required claims represented | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `discovery` | `search_tasks`<br>`list_agents`<br>`get_agent`<br>`list_projects`<br>`list_goals` | `discovery:agents:read`<br>`discovery:goals:read`<br>`discovery:projects:read`<br>`discovery:tasks:read` | Company-visible task, agent, project, and goal discovery. |
+| `delegation_dependencies` | `create_task`<br>`set_dependencies` | `delegation:tasks:create`<br>`dependencies:write` | Create delegated work and maintain dependency edges. |
+| `governance` | `list_approvals`<br>`get_approval`<br>`get_approval_context`<br>`request_approval`<br>`decide_approval`<br>`comment_on_approval` | `governance:approvals:comment`<br>`governance:approvals:decide`<br>`governance:approvals:read`<br>`governance:approvals:request` | Read, request, comment on, and decide approvals under governed-action checks. |
+| `cases` | `list_cases`<br>`upsert_case` | `cases:read`<br>`cases:write` | Read and update case summaries without reusing issue-document authority. |
+| `workspace_runtime` | `get_workspace_runtime`<br>`control_workspace_service` | `workspace:control`<br>`workspace:read` | Inspect and control the active issue workspace runtime. |
+| `wake_scheduling` | `schedule_wake` | `control_plane:wakes` | Schedule a bounded continuation wake when the current task owns the future check. |
+| `routines` | `list_routines`<br>`manage_routine` | `routines:read`<br>`routines:write` | Inspect or manage company routines. |
+| `company_skills` | `list_company_skills`<br>`sync_company_skills` | `company_skills:read`<br>`company_skills:write` | Inspect company skills and synchronize the current agent's skills. |
+| `secrets` | `list_secret_metadata`<br>`read_secret_value` | `secrets:metadata:read`<br>`secrets:values:read` | Inspect secret metadata or use a brokered secret value without exposing plaintext evidence. |
+| `portability_admin` | `export_company`<br>`administer_company` | `company:admin`<br>`portability:export` | Export portable company state; broad administration remains deferred until split into governed operations. |
+| `test_escape_hatch` | `generic_api_request` | `test:generic_api_request` | Controlled skill-test transport only; never product coverage. |
+
+### Reconciled semantic-operation ledger
+
+`live_codex` means a live provider dispatcher exists against the deterministic runner/mock port; it does **not** mean a production Paperclip service is bound. Every row remains `realServiceBinding: unbound` until the shared mock/real adapter work lands. `generic_api_request` is test-only and cannot satisfy product coverage.
+

+## Axis 3: the 16 behavioral eval groups
+
+Behavior groups describe expected outcomes and trajectories. They do not grant tools and they do not define PRP event types. The matrix is generated from the behavior-group source plus the checked-in eval traceability manifest; scenario counts and membership cannot be hand-edited here.
+
+### Coverage matrix
+
+| Group | Owner | Semantic operations | Control-plane operations | Real Paperclip surface | Mock state | Scenarios | PRP evidence | Gap / disposition |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: | --- | --- |
+| [`hb` — Heartbeat](#behavior-group-hb-heartbeat) | control plane + always tools | `get_task_context` | `select_work`<br>`enforce_budget` | agent identity, inbox-lite, heartbeat context, budget and active-issue services | `company`<br>`actor`<br>`wake`<br>`task`<br>`budget`<br>`run` | 5 | runner/session/run context plus bounded task-context tool results | Production semantic binding is unbound; identity and work selection remain injected/control-plane-owned. |
+| [`co` — Checkout](#behavior-group-co-checkout) | control plane | none | `checkout_task` | POST /api/issues/:id/checkout and execution-lock services | `task`<br>`actor`<br>`run`<br>`idempotency`<br>`fault` | 6 | run preparation and issue-status decision evidence with checkout receipt | Intentionally no model tool; the production checkout receipt still needs the additive semantic-receipt envelope. |
+| [`st` — Status](#behavior-group-st-status) | always tools + control-plane arbitration | `answer_status_question`<br>`finish_task`<br>`block_task`<br>`request_review` | `reconcile_run`<br>`append_audit_record` | issue PATCH, review/liveness policy, and native finalization arbitration | `task`<br>`comments`<br>`interactions`<br>`blockers`<br>`audit`<br>`run` | 8 | semantic operation receipt, work assessment, issue-status decision, and terminal causality | Production semantic binding and additive typed operation/conflict receipts remain unimplemented. |
+| [`cm` — Comments](#behavior-group-cm-comments) | always tools | `get_task_history`<br>`report_progress` | `append_audit_record` | issue comment list/get/create routes | `task`<br>`comments`<br>`actor`<br>`idempotency`<br>`audit` | 6 | bounded read result or idempotent comment-write receipt plus audit reference | Active-task binding is unbound; cross-task comment mutation is deliberately outside V1. |
+| [`se` — Search](#behavior-group-se-search) | optional discovery tools | `search_tasks`<br>`list_agents`<br>`get_agent`<br>`list_projects`<br>`list_goals` | none | company issue search and agent/project/goal list/get routes | `company`<br>`task`<br>`actor`<br>`project`<br>`goal` | 4 | bounded redacted read projections through tool-result item events | Project and goal operations are scenario-only; every real service binding is unbound. |

+
+## Authorization and execution invariants
+
+### Company and actor authorization
+
+- Every entity read and write is resolved inside the authenticated actor's company; cross-company identifiers fail without disclosing protected facts.
+- Board actors use active membership and role permissions. Agent writes require a company-scoped run JWT and X-Paperclip-Run-Id; active-task tools cannot accept a caller-selected company or arbitrary task.
+- Optional tools are omitted unless every required claim, role, and task-mode condition is satisfied. A grant never bypasses approval, budget, pause, execution-lock, interaction-owner, or other governed-action checks.
+
+### Task modes and exposure
+
+- standard permits the full eligible catalog subject to claims and role checks.
+- ask is answer-only: investigation reads are eligible, while implementation, document mutation, delegation, terminal, and governed writes are absent.
+- planning permits plan/document/progress/input operations but not terminal completion; accepted-plan continuation remains planning-specific.
+- skill_test exposes only scenario-admitted tools. generic_api_request additionally requires the explicit test grant and allowlist and never supplies product coverage.
+
+### Redaction
+
+- Tool descriptors declare observable redaction. Secret plaintext may reach only the model-use capsule authorized for a bound secret; it never reaches PRP, logs, artifacts, errors, audit details, or serialized tool results.
+- Authorization denials reveal stable codes, missing public claims, and remediation only; they do not include protected entity state, credentials, headers, cookies, or another company's policy.
+- Artifacts carry durable references, hashes, content type, and size on the wire; binary payloads remain in storage transports.
+
+### Idempotency and replay
+
+- Every mutation whose descriptor says required must carry a stable idempotency key. Retrying the same key and equivalent input returns the prior receipt without duplicating side effects.
+- Reusing a key with different input is an idempotency conflict. Optimistic document writes additionally bind baseRevisionId and return the current revision on conflict.
+- PRP source event IDs are idempotent, source sequence gaps are evidence, and replay is side-effect free. Replaying a trace cannot repeat control-plane writes.
+
+### Side effects and terminal ownership
+
+- read operations return bounded projections and do not mutate control-plane state.
+- task_write and company_write operations emit normalized state diffs and immutable audit references after production authorization succeeds.
+- governance, workspace_control, secret_read, and admin operations retain their production-specific gates; catalog exposure is necessary but never sufficient authority.
+- Terminal semantic operations propose intent. The control plane owns checkout, release, budget enforcement, persisted run evidence, replay, wake routing, audit append, and final status arbitration.
+
+## Issue-document lifecycle
+
+Issue documents are active-task working records identified by (activeIssueId, key). Always-present document tools do not accept a company id or arbitrary issue id.
+
+Cross-task document reads require a future explicit optional operation and grant; case documents and future company knowledge are separate resource types.
+
+Locked-document fallback may create a deterministic new key only when lockedDocumentStrategy is create_new_document; the source stays locked and the returned receipt names the redirected key.
+
+| Action | Semantic operation | Placement | Contract | Status |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `create` | `write_document` | `always_agent_tool` | baseRevisionId is null; create revision 1 and return document/revision/audit identity. | supported contract; production binding unbound |
+| `read` | `list_documents / read_document` | `always_agent_tool` | List metadata or read the current active-task document by stable key. | supported contract; production binding unbound |
+| `update` | `write_document` | `always_agent_tool` | Require the exact latest baseRevisionId and an idempotency key; append an immutable revision. | supported contract; production binding unbound |
+| `revisions` | `list_document_revisions` | `always_agent_tool` | Return bounded immutable revision history newest first. | supported contract; production binding unbound |
+| `restore` | `restore_document_revision` | `optional_agent_tool (documents:restore)` | Validate same-document lineage, reject locked documents, append a new revision, and return source/new revision identity; restoring current is a no-change duplicate. | approved catalog gap |
+| `lock` | `none` | `control_plane_owned` | Board/administrative lifecycle action; agent writes receive document_locked or use explicit create-new fallback. | intentionally non-callable |
+| `unlock` | `none` | `control_plane_owned` | Board/administrative lifecycle action; never inferred from a failed write. | intentionally non-callable |
+| `delete` | `none` | `control_plane_owned` | Destructive audited action; pending targets become stale and the runner never recreates them automatically. | intentionally non-callable |
+
+All document writes produce a normalized receipt. Success includes the document key/id, prior and new revision identity, idempotency key, and audit reference. Missing/stale bases return `base_revision_required` or `stale_base_revision` with the current revision. Authorization, cross-company, and lock failures use stable redacted denial codes. The runner never overwrites after a conflict without a fresh read and explicit reconciled write.
+
+## Provenance, generation, and drift gates
+
+The machine-readable authority for this document's decisions is `spec/operation-groups/source.json`. The generator joins that source to these independently versioned authorities and rejects disagreement:
+
+- the package-exported `CAPABILITY_CANONICAL_CATALOG` in `src/catalog/` — the 41-operation authority, including enriched mock/redaction and divergence facts.
+- `src/tools/capability-semantic-tool-types.ts` — 10 control-plane-owned operation IDs.
+- `protocol/schemas/event.schema.json` and `command.schema.json` — PRP event/command members and families.
+- `spec/capability/eval-traceability.yaml` — all 16 groups and 106 scenario identities/source anchors.
+- `spec/capability/source-contract.json` and `mcp-tool-map.yaml` — legacy MCP placement and fold authority.
+- `generated/capability/semantic-tool-contracts.json` — generated provider contract; it must equal the live catalog exactly.
+- `src/catalog/index.ts` and `src/index.ts` — package export path for the canonical reconciliation authority.
+
+Regenerate and check reproducibly:
+
+```sh
+pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec tsx scripts/generate-operation-groups.ts
+pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec tsx scripts/generate-operation-groups.ts --check
+pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run src/catalog/operation-groups-doc.test.ts src/catalog/reconciliation.test.ts src/catalog/catalog-docs.test.ts
+```
+
+The `--check` path fails on catalog membership, optional-group coverage, control-plane coverage, PRP schema families/counts, behavior/scenario membership, legacy alias folds, source-contract targets, generated live contracts, package exports, or byte-level Markdown drift. Generation is offline and uses only checked-in inputs.
+
+Current responsibility-based paths are normative. Numbered `phase-*` or milestone paths are historical and must not be reintroduced.
+
+## Reconciliation appendix
+
+### Catalog split and deliberate replacement
+
+- Scenario/eval catalog: **37** operations.
+- Live dispatcher catalog: **28** operations.
+- Shared: **24**; union/canonical authority: **41**.
+- Scenario-only: `administer_company`, `export_company`, `inspect_operation_result`, `list_cases`, `list_company_skills`, `list_goals`, `list_projects`, `list_routines`, `list_secret_metadata`, `manage_routine`, `read_secret_value`, `sync_company_skills`, `upsert_case`.
+- Live-only: `get_agent`, `get_approval`, `get_approval_context`, `schedule_wake`.
+- The generated provider contract contains exactly the live catalog; the canonical union remains the migration authority until all scenario-only operations are either implemented, deferred, or removed by an explicit reconciliation decision.
+- `generic_api_request` stays exported only for controlled tests and cannot be cited as real-surface, mock-parity, or PRP product coverage.
+
+### Legacy MCP aliases
+
+The MCP inventory is a compatibility index, not a third product catalog. Every alias folds into an eval scenario and its source-contract semantic target must resolve to a canonical operation, a control-plane operation, an approved composite/fold, or a named gap.

+### PRP expressiveness boundary
+
+PRP v1 already represents runner/session/turn/item lifecycle, replay identity, capability negotiation, request/interaction routing, result negotiation, attention, work assessment, issue-status decision, and terminal causality. Provider-neutral semantic-operation receipts (including authorization/redaction/idempotency/conflict facts) and explicit budget-stop reasons are additive v1 work. Destructive administration, cross-company actions, board-only governance, document lock/unlock/delete, checkout selection, audit persistence, and final arbitration remain control-plane-local and do not become model tools or generic PRP commands.
