feat(connections): simplify dedicated GitHub App setup (#15416)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and the tools each agent can use.
> - GitHub bots need their own App identity and restricted repository
access.
> - Manual App configuration and repeated setup gates make that
connection hard to finish.
> - GitHub can create an App from a manifest, but people must approve
creation and repository access.
> - Each Paperclip stack should own configuration, credentials,
signature verification, and task admission.
> - This change uses Cloud as an encrypted callback and event gateway,
then completes setup in the stack.
> - GitHub review bots have their own experimental setting. Chat
connector opt-in does not control them.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Dedicated GitHub App setup, bot settings, and task-scoped GitHub
replies.

**Current behavior**

Users must configure an App, copy credentials, repeat repository
selection, and complete manual verification gates. Review settings are
hard to scan. Mentions in descriptions can be missed, and automatic
completion text can produce an extra GitHub comment.

**Proposed behavior**

Choose an agent and connect GitHub under a personal account or
organization. GitHub asks for creation and installation consent.
Paperclip resumes the same draft, stores secrets locally, imports
access, verifies delivery, and opens Settings. Each accepted request has
one editable App-owned comment for progress and results. Review
assessments produce deterministic checks for the reviewed commit.

**Breaking changes**

GitHub bots require their own default-off experimental opt-in. The
setup-method and delegated-agent screens are removed. Per-person
automatic-run flags remain readable but are replaced by author filters.
Existing connections, direct webhooks, saved restrictions, and manual
existing-App recovery remain supported.

Companion gateway:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/688 (merged). The
roadmap and related PRs were checked; no duplicate dedicated-App wizard
was found.

## What Changed

- Add an independent **GitHub review bots** setting across the catalog,
routes, identity admission, and task controls. Existing bots continue
running when the UI setting is off.
- Replace setup with Choose agent and Connect GitHub. Support personal
and organization owners, inline low-trust conversion, saved drafts,
known organization suggestions, automatic completion, and same-App
recovery.
- Keep manifests, OAuth PKCE, credential exchange, vault storage,
installation verification, and original webhook-signature validation in
the stack. Use the Cloud sealed gateway for public callbacks and
outbound local delivery.
- Add resumable owner metadata in migration 0323. Retry a failed
registration renewal through the same durable replacement rather than
creating another App route.
- Support authorized mentions in issue and PR bodies, comments, inline
comments, and review summaries. Preserve attachments, edited-source
identity, duplicate protection, and lifecycle invalidation. Filter
requests explicitly addressed to another connected bot.
- Give agents task-scoped review, comment, and update tools. Update one
working comment through progress and final output. Close coalesced
requests and recover delayed acknowledgements, including deleted earlier
working comments. Preserve automatic replies for legacy connections
without saved review configuration. Preserve partial publication
evidence and quarantine uncertain automatic fallbacks without blocking
Board messages or questions.
- Reorganize Settings and Access with rich slash-skill instructions,
numeric passing scores, clear automation controls, formal-review
tooltips, member and contributor sections, and verified App branding
links. Preserve invalid score drafts and automation choices across tabs.
- Paginate repositories in 20-row batches with search and a true
connection-wide toggle. Batch verification at GitHub's 500-ID token
limit. Keep saved repository overrides while hiding their editor.
- Give each review a detail URL that remains usable beyond the newest
100 records. Synchronize the manager OpenAPI contracts and add recovery,
authorization, UI, and browser regressions.
- Reconcile the current master branch and retain its agent avatar,
feature catalog, and extracted heartbeat preparation code. Preserve a
saved test-drive port and recover from an occupied high port.

## Verification

- Focused UI, independent experimental-setting, and CLI tests: 199
passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm check:token-gates`
passed. The broad local Vitest attempt was interrupted after resource
timeouts and stale expectations; the affected regressions passed focused
reruns. The latest-head full CI matrix passed, including all browser
shards, server/chat suites, builds, typechecking, canary packaging, and
Docker context integrity. A Docker Hub 429 required a CI retry; it
passed without changing the code.
- Final review repairs: 127 attachment/event tests and server typecheck
passed. All 13 final integration regressions passed under the normal CI
timeout, covering legacy reply compatibility, deleted coalesced
comments, inline-only review completion, progress edits, and native
final recovery. Restart-safe description/review attachments passed the
attachment suite.
- Final regressions: four reply/lifecycle tests, both native GitHub wait
tests, 171 feature-gate/reply-contract tests, the routed review preview,
and five scheduler/reply regressions passed. The final fixture repair
also passed all six setup-continuation cases and all three complete
chat-test shards in CI, covering terminal receipts and retries under the
normal CI timeout. One loaded-host receipt run exceeded its local
timeout; the exact case passed in an isolated rerun and the complete CI
shard.
- GitHub integration tests cover personal and organization setup, retry
recovery, edited mentions, attachment provenance, coalesced requests,
delayed acknowledgements, partial review writes, old review URLs, and
company boundaries.
- Browser qualification: both GitHub journeys, all five provider
setup/management journeys, and the GitHub uncertain-send recovery
journey passed. GitHub setup, reconnect, and task replies run with chat
disabled; chat enabled alone cannot expose GitHub bots. The disposable
qualification database was removed after testing.
- Earlier live qualification verified App-owned issue replies, native
slash-skill invocation, progress comment edits, and a 5/5 PR review with
a passing current-head check in the dedicated permissions-smoke
repository. These live checks did not use personal credentials as bot
execution authority.

## Risks

- Deploy the merged Cloud gateway protocol before the stack update. Each
callback and encrypted event must retain the original instance and
tenant binding.
- Migration 0323 uses idempotent column additions for test installations
that already applied the earlier draft migration number.
- A verified connection does not prove runtime isolation or a completed
review. Runtime checks remain separate.
- Required merge checks must be configured in GitHub. A passing numeric
score does not formally approve a PR; approval and request-changes tools
remain opt-in.
- Existing-App credentials cannot silently renew an uncertain manifest
exchange. Recovery preserves the existing App, draft, connection, and
agent.
- Repository changes save immediately. Global toggles affect all
currently available repositories, including unloaded rows, without
granting new installation access.
- A failed or uncertain tool write suppresses automatic fallback text;
the governed outbox retains its evidence. Deleted or replaced response
comments are not recreated through a personal credential fallback.
- GitHub logo upload remains an optional human action in GitHub App
settings. Runtime provisioning, delegated setup, screenshot publication,
and production push delivery remain deferred.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with tool use and code execution. The
exact runtime model identifier and context size are not exposed in this
session.

+also stay in the stack. Interrupted single-use manifest exchanges require
+recovery of the existing App instead of a second creation. Direct webhook and
+manual existing-App recovery remain available. Connecting does not prove that
+an agent runtime can execute a review.
+
+### One editable response per request
+
+After accepting authorized GitHub work, Paperclip posts **Working on this…**
+before starting the agent. Issue and PR discussion comments use the same GitHub
+comment API; inline-review conversations receive an inline reply. Description
+mentions and automatic tasks also receive a working comment. No new eyes
+reaction is added; cleanup still handles receipts created by older versions.
+
+The agent's `update_comment` tool edits the current request's working comment.
+It takes a body and a stable idempotency key, with no caller-selected comment ID
+or destination. Instructions encourage brief, factual progress updates during
+longer work. Distinct updates use distinct keys; retries reuse the same key.
+Progress does not complete an assessment or change a review check.
+
+The `comment` tool replaces that same comment with the final answer.
+`submit_review` replaces it with the allowed review summary; checks, inline
+findings and explicitly permitted formal reviews remain separate. Corrected
+assessments can update the summary again. Delayed progress cannot overwrite a
+final answer. Native final text stays in Paperclip and creates no extra comment.
+Legacy connections without a saved review configuration retain automatic run
+progress and final replies until upgraded to this tool-owned response model.
+
+Receipts are bound to the company, App, task, accepted request and original
+runtime generation. The existing publication lease serializes edits, and
+App-owned markers recover uncertain creation without posting duplicates.
+Deleted or no-longer-owned comments are not recreated or edited. Coalesced runs
+settle a deleted earlier working comment without blocking the current response,
+review findings, or check publication. Failed runs
+update the same comment when no final reply is confirmed or unresolved. A run
+that ends without a final reply clears a remaining working state honestly.
+Repository restrictions, person authorization and governed tool checks remain
+in effect for edits. Existing disabled or quarantined tools stay disabled.
+Existing native sessions refresh incompatible tool checkpoints so the agent
+can see `update_comment`. The same Paperclip task and saved history remain.
+
+### Explicit bot mentions and subscriptions
+
+Issue and PR descriptions, discussion comments, inline comments, and review
+summaries retain uploaded attachment references when they mention the bot.
+Private images use the exact unchanged source's authenticated GitHub rendering;
+repository/thread identity and body hashes remain bound across restarts. Signed
+image URLs and credentials are never added to durable attachment descriptors.
+
+A manual message naming another connected GitHub bot in the same company does
+not wake this bot through its thread subscription. Paperclip filters that
+delivery before creating task work or adding an acknowledgement. Explicitly
+mentioning both bots allows both to receive the request, subject to their normal
+authorization and repository checks.
+
+Unaddressed follow-ups, human mentions and unknown handles retain the existing
+subscription behavior. The routing rule does not change automatic issue or PR
+event policies. Archived bots and identities from other companies or providers
+are excluded from the routing lookup.

+## How the agent replies
+
+The agent chooses what to send through its task-scoped GitHub tools. For
+discussion, it uses `comment`. For a review, `submit_review` publishes the
+assessment summary and updates the check. It should not add another comment
+just to announce that the review is complete.
+
+Paperclip posts one “Working on this…” comment when it accepts a request. The
+agent can periodically edit that comment with `update_comment` as it makes
+progress. Its final `comment` or review summary replaces the same comment;
+inline-only reviews close it with a link to the finding. Coalesced requests have
+their existing working comments updated to point to the response. New requests
+no longer create eyes reactions.
+
+The runner's final text stays inside the Paperclip task. If a run ends without
+a tool reply, Paperclip updates the working comment with a safe notice and a
+link to the task. A real question can link to its answer form in Paperclip.
+A confirmed reply suppresses fallback notices. Pending or uncertain tool
+delivery prevents a duplicate reply while its receipt is resolved. A check
+alone does not count as a conversation reply.

+# Minimal dedicated GitHub App wizard
+
+Date: 2026-10-06
+Status: Implemented. Automated and local UI qualification in progress; live provider qualification pending.
+
+## Accepted scope
+
+Support personal accounts and organizations equally through a private,
+user-owned GitHub App. Its identity belongs to the selected review agent.
+GitHub owns the creation confirmation and repository installation consent.
+Paperclip owns configuration, credential storage, delivery, and verification.
+The normal journey has two Paperclip screens:
+
+1. Choose agent, with an inline low-trust conversion when needed. Assigned
+   drafts resume directly into Connect GitHub.
+2. Connect GitHub: My account or An organization, optional organization login,
+   and an editable name suggested from the agent. Continue submits the manifest
+   directly to GitHub. Creation returns securely to Paperclip and then goes
+   straight to installation. Installation returns to automatic verification
+   and completion, with conditional identity confirmation when necessary.
+
+There is no setup-method selection, delegated setup task, copied prompt,
+mandatory guidance form, second repository selection, manual refresh gate,
+manual verification gate, or Finish action. Settings retain advanced behavior
+and existing-App recovery. Setup-agent assignment remains deferred.
+
+## Defaults and constraints
+
+- Mentions-only, advisory review, linked members, guests off, no merge-rule
+  changes. Preserve existing agent instructions and explicit bot configuration.
+- Import the installation's initial repository access, including an explicit
+  All repositories choice. Preserve saved narrower access on resumed drafts.
+  Later additions remain disabled until selected in existing settings.
+- Disclose that connecting enables the new bot's GitHub tools. Reconnect
+  preserves existing tool restrictions.
+- Use GitHub's verified App identity, including renames during registration.
+- Keep runtime and isolation readiness separate from GitHub connection health.
+  An optional test mention proves execution; connection health alone does not.
+- Private Apps install on their owning account. Preserve existing public-App
+  connections and manual credential recovery.
+- Human-only steps: sign-in/MFA, App creation, repository consent, required org
+  administrator approval, initial Cloud enrollment, unverified identity consent.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Instance
+
+Extend existing manager-only APIs with owner selection, draft persistence,
+redacted wizard progress, dedicated-App identity authorization/confirmation,
+and automatic completion. Bind callback state and sealed claims to the exact
+company, draft, connection, agent, configuring member, and enrolled origin.
+Retain the legacy personal registration request and direct webhook flow.
+
+Serialize registration creation against the draft. Retry Cloud creation with
+its existing registration identifier and immutable binding after a lost
+response. Recover an uncertain manifest exchange or expired claim through the
+existing App; never silently create another App. Vault credentials before
+acknowledging receipt or exposing installation as the next step.
+
+Use existing verified linked identities when available. Otherwise use the
+new App's OAuth flow, separate from its installation callback, with bound
+state, PKCE, one explicit identity confirmation, and transient user tokens.
+All bot execution continues through installation credentials.
+
+Decrypt original provider webhook bytes from the bounded Cloud gateway queue.
+Authenticate their original signature in the stack before entering the existing
+durable webhook admission/review path. Preserve resource access,
+trust boundaries, revocation handling, and duplicate protection.
+
+### Paperclip Cloud
+
+Use the existing connector broker, durable registry, enrollment, signed
+requests, sealed claims, webhook inbox, event leases and acknowledgments, and
+coalesced stack wakes as a transport gateway. No per-user tunnel is needed.
+
+The stack builds manifests, exchanges manifest codes directly with GitHub,
+vaults every App secret, and owns OAuth state, PKCE, installation verification,
+repository access, event interpretation and recovery. Cloud stores opaque routes
+and hashes of callback state. It seals callback codes and original webhook bytes
+to the enrolled stack before durable storage. It keeps no GitHub private key,
+client secret or webhook verifier for dedicated Apps.
+
+Cloud provides separate public manifest/install/OAuth callback URLs. Installation
+parameters never prove ownership. The stack authenticates the original webhook
+signature. Cloud applies bounded ingress, queue and wake limits to unverified
+traffic. Deduplication includes the original body and signature to prevent forged
+delivery identifiers from suppressing valid events.
+
+The additive capability is available by default with the Cloud connector broker
+and advertises version 2; no separate enable flag is required. Deploy the additive
+Cloud migration and gateway before
+the synchronized instance wizard. Existing shared-App account connections keep
+their provider-specific broker behavior and secret-store requirements.
+
+## Qualification
+
+Automated coverage must exercise both owner URLs; private manifests; bound
+callbacks and claims; retries after lost responses; failed and expired
+exchanges without duplicate Apps; hostile signatures/owner bindings;
+duplicate deliveries; preserved configuration and repository restrictions;
+identity consent/expiry; company isolation; and legacy registration/recovery.
+
+Run focused backend/UI tests and token gates, then typecheck, Vitest, and
+build. Walk through the actual local UI for agent selection, account choice,
+save/resume, enrollment and recovery. Separately qualify real personal and
+organization App creation/installation and a response under each dedicated
+identity, with human consent. Mocked provider tests cannot establish that live
+qualification or runtime execution succeeded.
+
+## Evidence and remaining rollout gates
+
+The production wizard was exercised in an isolated local test drive. Agent
+selection, inline low-trust conversion, organization choice, name editing,
+Save & exit, resume without a reload, full reload, and the conditional Cloud
+enrollment handoff passed. The test did not authorize Cloud enrollment or
+create a provider App.
+
+The focused wizard and retained clipboard/recovery UI suites pass (37 tests).
+GitHub backend coverage passes (193 cases), including both owner types,
+interrupted registration and vault storage, empty saved repository selections,
+localhost configuration, concurrent identity attempts, enrolled-origin recovery,
+tenant binding, and legacy callbacks. The complete OpenAPI suite passes (13
+tests). Workspace typecheck, build, and UI token gates pass. The revised GitHub
+browser journey passes through manual recovery, identity confirmation, automatic
+completion, settings, and reconnect.
+
+The full local Vitest run reported 16,080 passing tests, nine failing tests,
+and three suites with database-startup timeouts. All ten failing suites passed
+in isolation (303 tests). The original full run remains a failed run; it is not
+a claim of a green full suite. CI initially
+identified outdated wizard expectations and missing API documentation, both now
+covered by the updated focused checks. The full GitHub fixture also verifies
+installation permissions and preserved legacy tool authority. The browser
+report attaches screenshots of both wizard screens. Fresh manual App imports
+initialize repository access and tools without a registration row; interrupted
+imports resume those defaults while explicit restrictions stay preserved. A real
+vault-write interruption stays in recovery without completing an empty import;
+retrying the credentials discovers and imports the actual repositories.
+
+The earlier Cloud qualification tested a Cloud-owned App lifecycle. The
+2026-10-07 architecture revision replaces that lifecycle with the gateway
+boundary described above. Its standard `npm test` passes: 2,552 tests and 73
+conditional skips. Gateway regressions verify sealed callback and webhook
+storage, route/tenant binding, removed instances, renamed origins, forged
+identifier suppression, lease/acknowledgment and queue limits. Cloud typecheck
+and routing/sleep/wake smoke checks pass.
+
+The revised stack passes workspace typecheck and build. Focused tests cover
+local manifest exchange, interrupted vault storage without repeated exchange,
+secret rotation without disclosing it to Cloud, original-signature verification,
+and nested-envelope binding. Initial follow-up database attempts were blocked by
+exhausted host shared-memory identifiers (`shmget`: No space left on device).
+After slots became available, disposable Cloud Postgres qualification passed all
+seven tests, including independent-pool quota races and lease/acknowledgment.
+The focused stack cases also execute again; the added recovery case requires all
+manifest credentials, including OAuth client credentials, after a partial vault
+write. Explicit existing-App recovery switches to the supported personal-connection
+identity path only after the same App's credentials are vaulted; it still repairs
+the webhook locally and requires fresh signed delivery. Member account-only
+linking avoids manager setup APIs and retains personal-connection onboarding.
+The final focused wizard/recovery/member-linking tests pass (26), as do server
+and UI typecheck/build and token gates. Full-suite local failures remain separately
+reported rather than treated
+as a green run. The current PR heads require fresh CI and review. No real
+provider calls or deployments were used for this revision.
+
+Before rollout, apply the additive Cloud migration and deploy the gateway,
+then deploy the synchronized instance migration and wizard through
+the existing connector rollout control. A real personal and organization
+registration, installation, consent, signed delivery and bot response remain
+required. No deployment, real App creation, installation, runtime provisioning,
+or model execution was performed by the local UI walkthrough.
+
+## Deferred follow-up: production push delivery (2026-10-08)
+
+Use push as the primary Cloud gateway-to-stack transport in production so new
+mentions, issues, and PR events arrive promptly. Wake sleeping hosted stacks
+when needed. Keep polling as a recovery and catch-up path for missed pushes,
+disconnects, and restarts, rather than the normal production delivery path.
+
+Retain the durable inbox, delivery acknowledgments, tenant bindings, original
+GitHub signature verification, and deduplication across push and polling.
+Localhost and self-hosted instances can continue using outbound polling.
+This is a deferred improvement; do not implement it in the current setup work.
+
+## Live setup finding: slow repository verification (2026-10-08)
+
+The personal-account Animal Bot Man setup received a verified signed ping at
+10:31:10 UTC. Its wizard still showed the previous ping-wait response while
+connection verification checked 86 enabled repositories, once in progress and
+again under the credential lease before activation. The next setup response
+completed at 10:32:03 UTC; missing HTTPS was not the cause.
+
+Verify explicit enabled repository IDs in batches within GitHub's 500-ID limit,
+preserving the final check under the activation lease. Never request an unscoped
+token or pass these verification tokens to agents. A failed batch remains
+unverified. As soon as endpoint polling observes signed delivery, replace the
+old ping-wait message with App/repository verification progress. Keep the same
+App, vault, agent, and GitHub-selected repository access.
+
+Focused tests cover 86- and 501-repository verification, disabled selections,
+revoked access, and the UI receipt arriving ahead of a full progress response.
+The existing draft reached connected without a new App or credential entry.
+After restarting the preserved test drive with the fix, this same App's full
+progress verification returned connected in 2.74 seconds, with all 86 repository
+checks passing and the configuration still at revision 1. Server/UI typecheck
+and builds, 24 focused backend tests, 19 wizard UI tests, and token gates pass.
+Connection completion remains separate from proving a model or review run.
+
+[GitHub's installation-token documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/creating-github-apps/authenticating-with-a-github-app/generating-an-installation-access-token-for-a-github-app)
+specifies the 500-repository limit and prohibits granting access beyond the
+installation's authorized repositories.
+
+## Prior findings retained
+
+Earlier setup research found repeated interviews, missing manager APIs, tunnel
+requirements, runtime provisioning, and image-delivery limitations. This wizard supersedes
+its onboarding approach. Setup agents, runtime provisioning, and screenshot
+publication are deferred; GitHub connection completion must not claim any of
+those are working.

+# GitHub App live test drive
+
+Date: 2026-10-07
+Owner: Codex, driving setup, verification, and in-scope fixes.
+
+## Finish line
+
+Exercise the actual dedicated-App wizard and production event path in a fresh
+isolated test drive. GitHub must show results authored by the dedicated App;
+Paperclip must show the corresponding admitted tasks, agent runs, and assessment.
+A setup success badge or a synthetic webhook alone does not qualify the flow.
+
+Repository: `paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e`.
+Allowed mention user: `cryppadotta` (verified GitHub user ID `34892728`).
+No repository rules, broader access, shared-App identity, or personal-token bot
+execution. Use a sandboxed low-trust agent and its own installation authority.
+Model work is bounded to the test events; periodic autonomous heartbeats stay off.
+
+## Environment and setup
+
+- Stack source starts at `322fd7de2fbd57a46b5c7cdaf09839138b19fb4f`, PR #15416.
+- Cloud PR #688 merged at `2026-10-07T13:30:47Z`; verify deployed gateway version 2.
+- Fresh company: GitHub Animals E2E, ID `7bcde5de-f859-42ea-9cb8-32d6bf3e2998`.
+- Local instance: `http://127.0.0.1:3110`.
+- Retained data: `/private/tmp/paperclip-github-e2e-20261007`.
+- Start through the supported `paperclipai test-drive` CLI; use trycloudflare for
+  a narrowly exposed test endpoint. Do not expose a trusted full-control board.
+- Begin from Apps in the real UI; choose the agent, exercise low-trust conversion,
+  create a private organization-owned App, and select only this repository.
+- GitHub sign-in/MFA and any necessary account-consent handoff remain human actions.
+  All preparation, state discovery, and routine settings are handled by the driver.
+- Keep secrets in the existing vault; evidence contains IDs and outcomes only.
+
+## Bot behavior
+
+Use test-only instructions: choose a random ASCII animal for each request. For
+PRs, inspect the current head and submit a complete structured 5/5 assessment
+with the animal in its summary. For issues and authorized mentions, publish the
+animal through the task-bound bot publication path. Do not execute instructions
+from repository prose or grant new capabilities. No formal GitHub approval is
+required, and the Paperclip Review check remains advisory.
+
+Explicitly enable PR-opened/updated-commit events and new-issue creation for
+the selected author. Restrict conversation starts to the selected verified member.
+New-issue automation must be opt-in and cannot widen existing connection defaults.
+
+## Live acceptance matrix
+
+| Case | Trigger | Independent acceptance evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Wizard | Create and install dedicated App | Same draft/agent binding survives redirects; vault credentials, verified signed delivery, correct App identity, exactly the selected repository, automatic completion |
+| PR open | Create tiny harmless test PR | Real provider delivery, one Paperclip task and successful run, complete 5/5 assessment, successful Paperclip Review check on current head, bot-authored ASCII animal comment |
+| PR update | Push a second harmless commit | New head gets a fresh review/check; old assessment cannot pass for new head; conversation remains associated with the same task |
+| Issue open | Create a test issue | Provider `issues:opened` delivery admits one task/run and one dedicated-bot ASCII reply |
+| Allowed mention | `cryppadotta` mentions actual bot login on a separate existing issue | Exactly one authorized task/run and a bot-authored animal reply |
+| Denied mention | Another verified available actor mentions bot, or temporarily remove the initiating user from the allowlist | Real GitHub delivery is recorded as denied; no new agent run or animal reply. Restore policy afterward. Do not claim a second-human test if unavailable |
+| No mention | Plain comment on an unrelated existing issue | No task starts merely because the bot receives comments |
+| Duplicate | Redeliver a successful GitHub delivery | Delivery/session idempotency prevents duplicate tasks or publications |
+| Persistence | Reload/restart after connection | Same App, draft, repository restrictions, identity, and settings; a later real event still works |
+
+## Execution and fixes
+
+Keep a compact record of visible screen transitions and provider-to-task-to-output
+IDs. Inspect failures at their real boundary: deployed capability, enrollment,
+callback claim, local exchange/vault, installation discovery, signature admission,
+person/repository policy, sandbox execution, model/tool use, or publication.
+Fix concrete defects with focused tests and rerun the affected live journey.
+Do not substitute direct webhooks silently for the Cloud gateway being qualified.
+
+Implemented the gap found during preparation: both manifest builders now subscribe
+to `issues`, and new-issue intake has an explicit opt-in with the existing
+repository, person, responsible-member, guest, and revocation boundaries. Issues
+create ordinary tasks and cannot create PR assessments or commit checks.
+
+## Evidence and cleanup
+
+Link the actual GitHub PR/issues/comments/checks and Paperclip task/review/run
+records here as they become available. Preserve screenshots of meaningful UI
+states and sanitized runtime logs in the temporary evidence directory. Record
+source revision, settings revision, time, and model costs alongside results.
+Close disposable issues/PRs and remove their test branch after qualification;
+retain the bot and test-drive data for the user's inspection unless asked to remove
+them. Stop the public tunnel and relay at the end. Retain the private test runtime for inspection, with restart commands.
+
+## Progress and remaining qualification
+
+Updated 2026-10-07 after the final live retests. **The organization-owned App and all requested bot behaviors passed.** Six GitHub-triggered native runs succeeded. The final configuration is revision 4, with cryppadotta as the only permitted linked member. The same draft, connection, App, repository restriction, identity and vaulted credentials survived a restart. The historical diagnostics below record failures that were fixed or superseded; they are not pending handoffs.
+
+Independent proof is saved in `live-e2e-proof.json`. The live acceptance results and remaining qualification limits are recorded at the end of this plan.
+
+- Cloud staging advertises `githubApps.version=2` and `sealed_gateway` at
+  `https://my-staging.paperclip.app/v1/connector/capabilities`. Production does
+  not yet advertise this capability; this test uses staging explicitly.
+- Test server is pinned to port **3110** after a sibling dev instance acquired
+  3109. The sibling was left untouched. Same company, agent, draft, and vault
+  survived the restart.
+- trycloudflare: `https://drew-changes-emacs-analyze.trycloudflare.com`. Its local
+  relay on 23109 exposes only a landing page and redacted `/api/health`;
+  mutations and trusted board routes are denied. GitHub uses Cloud gateway
+  ingress, not this tunnel.
+- Animal Bot: `4be7066f-130b-4bfd-9a1a-740d52fe5080`. Real UI agent selection and
+  one-click low-trust conversion passed. Agent instructions request 5/5 reviews
+  and random ASCII animals through task-bound bot tools.
+- Draft `d5918d73-be6a-46b7-bf89-01e396c84ce8` retains organization `paperclipai`
+  and suggested name `Animal Bot E2E 20261007` after reload/restart.
+- Cloud enrollment for **http://localhost:3110** is approved. Human sign-in and access confirmation completed. Installation selected only the designated test repository, and the dedicated App identity was linked and confirmed.
+- Existing Daytona environment `49bd3525-7d3b-4edf-b719-95e48431ea06` uses the
+  authorized vaulted key and snapshot `fleet-sbx-01e815d1e284-5caa7196b56e`.
+  Low-trust and sandbox isolation remain enforced; periodic heartbeats are off.
+
+### Source verification
+
+- Event/parser and scheduling tests: **17 passed**.
+- New-issue signed-ingress integration cases: **2 passed**, including default-off,
+  deduplication, author-versus-sender identity, and publication revocation.
+- Full GitHub agent review workflow integration group: **30 passed**.
+- Server/UI targeted typechecks and UI token gates passed.
+- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
+- Final full typecheck and build passed after the enrollment fixes.
+- Full `pnpm test:run` failed: **29 files failed, 711 passed, 59 skipped; 6 tests failed, 12,958 passed, 3,464 skipped**. Most failed suites could not bootstrap embedded PostgreSQL. Other failures include adapter accounting and large Git/Teams timeout cases. Do not label the full suite green or claim a verified baseline.
+- New origin/enrollment-return tests: **23 passed**. GitHub integration regression including bound-registration origin changes: **30 passed**. Wizard UI including same-draft enrollment return: **14 passed**. Token gates passed.
+
+### Real runtime evidence
+
+- CLI run `7ea67041-d357-48e9-aec1-f8d230613f8e`, model `gpt-5.4`, ran inside
+  Daytona and returned an ASCII animal. Its per-run callback endpoint refused
+  connections, so it could not write the required comment or complete GIT-1.
+  A successful model exit is **not** a passed task or GitHub E2E test.
+- Automatic recovery run `322ce17e-3a56-485b-a8a7-7183c5faf69e` could write a
+  comment and block GIT-1. It correctly could not schedule privileged retries.
+  Both CLI runs failed to load `Paperclip_connections` and `Paperclip_projects`
+  MCP servers because the sandbox cannot use host localhost endpoints.
+- Switched the same bot to `paperclip_runner` / Codex / `gpt-5.4` in the same
+  sandbox. Native tools use the authenticated Runner transport. GIT-2
+  (`ac96bb88-2c6b-413c-8fd8-a59b26202128`) is a bounded fresh runtime smoke.
+- Native run `13cda2bc-1bf4-4e97-b3b0-f189ba4e6a0a` stopped before model work:
+  `runner_remote_artifact_platform_mismatch`. This Mac checkout lacks a matching
+  Linux Runner artifact. Building this checkout's locked Runner source using
+  an existing first-party Linux Docker image; without a separate paid sandbox probe.
+- Matching Linux Runner built and verified from the locked current source;
+  source, protocol asset, and binary hashes are recorded in
+  `linux-runner-build-provenance.json`. The same environment and snapshot are
+  retained. Startup retries create and release normal per-turn sandbox leases;
+  no separate environment or paid capability-probe campaign was created.
+- Native smoke run `f0d4b1e0-cf03-47bf-a77f-b3fcf1085fba` **passed** from
+  14:48:51–14:49:33 UTC: bot-authored ASCII comment
+  `799b4d23-8c68-4608-bb31-f1fcdde32490` persisted, then GIT-2 became `done`.
+  Independent task/comment/run evidence is in `native-smoke-proof.json`.
+  This qualifies native model/task tools in Daytona, not GitHub publication.
+  Model `gpt-5.4`; metered OpenAI receipt remains `unpriced` / cost null.
+- A live restart exposed the CLI ignoring saved `server.port` and moving to a
+  lower free port. Fixed `prepareTestDriveEnvironment` to prefer the saved port
+  and move upward only when occupied. All **34** CLI test-drive tests pass,
+  including available and occupied saved-port cases; CLI typecheck/build pass.
+  The test drive was then verified back on 3110, preserving enrollment origin.
+- Model secret references stay vaulted. A normal agent config save replaces
+  declaration IDs, so the driver refreshes the exact model-binding grant through
+  the permissions API after configuration edits. No broad secret grant.
+- Costs recorded by Paperclip are unpriced/null for the CLI turn; do not invent a
+  monetary value. Startup-only failures did not run a model. Retain separate
+  actual runtime, deterministic fixture, and external publication evidence.
+
+### Evidence and resume
+
+Sanitized evidence: `/private/tmp/paperclip-github-e2e-evidence/`.
+Full check logs: `/private/tmp/paperclip-github-e2e-full-{typecheck,tests,build}.log`.
+Linux build log: `/private/tmp/paperclip-github-e2e-runner-linux-build.log`.
+
+The live matrix is complete. No GitHub consent handoff remains pending. The earlier TES-1 monitor remains paused. Retain the App, bot and test-drive data for inspection; close only this test's disposable provider fixtures and stop the owned public relay/tunnel.
+
+Restart the retained instance with:
+
+```sh
+cd /private/tmp/paperclip-github-gateway-pr

+```
+
+Its instance `.env` contains the non-secret Linux artifact path and staging
+gateway configuration; its model credentials remain in the retained vault.
+Do not print the `.env` file or expose trusted board routes through the tunnel.
+

+
+The following sections are chronological failure diagnoses. Their original intermediate limits are superseded by the final live results.
+
+### Live enrollment diagnosis 2026-10-07T15:17:51.100312+00:00
+
+Cloud enrollment was approved for `http://localhost:3110`. The old consent expired and was renewed with the same recipient/scope. Two actual setup defects surfaced: the enrollment return allowlist rejected the company-prefixed chat wizard path and fell back to the connector list; GitHub registration used the numeric loopback alias while Cloud correctly required the exact enrolled origin (`RETURN_ORIGIN_NOT_ENROLLED`). Fixed the unprefixed chat return path and its narrow allowlist, and select an already enrolled loopback alias only on the same port. Retry retains registration ID/state, using the current approved destination. Added 23 passing focused tests; server typecheck and token gates passed. No App was created before the rejection.
+
+A restart briefly failed because macOS exhausted its SysV shared-memory IDs. Released exactly one orphan with zero attachments and a verified exited creator; did not stop sibling services or change kernel limits. Retrying the owned instance with the same database.
+
+### Login-return recovery diagnosis 2026-10-07
+
+The user completed GitHub login. Reopening the old manifest URL by GET lost the POST manifest, and GitHub displayed a blank personal-App form. No App was created: the organization App list contains no Animal Bot E2E 20261007, and the exact local draft still has no App ID. Its 30-minute registration had expired; the wizard incorrectly implied an App already existed and offered only credential recovery.
+
+Added manager-only renewal of an expired, unconsumed Cloud registration after an explicit no-App-created attestation. It rotates bound routing state, retires the old registration, preserves owner/name/agent/connection, and refuses live, claimed, consumed, failed, exchanging, other-manager, and stale submissions. Eight focused integration cases and 16 wizard UI tests passed. Cloud consent remains approved for the same localhost origin. No provider creation, installation, or external bot publication is yet qualified.
+
+### Browser POST diagnosis and current consent handoff
+
+The initial scripted manifest form repeatedly reached GitHub's 500 page before creation. A loopback-only diagnostic using an ordinary HTML form reached the creation confirmation with the identical manifest, under both numeric loopback and localhost origins. No permission or manifest-field workaround was needed. Changed the real wizard to a mounted native POST form; verified that Continue to GitHub now reaches **Create GitHub App for paperclipai**. Fresh API preparation submits the mounted form with requestSubmit, guarded against duplicate effect execution. Wizard regression suite: 17 passing tests.
+
+An action-time browser confirmation is pending for the exact private App, designated smoke repository, read contents/metadata and write issues/pull requests/checks, with webhook events routed through the staging Cloud gateway. Earlier blanket approval does not meet the browser tool's action-time access requirement. No App creation, repository installation, or real GitHub bot publication has occurred. The exact draft and approved enrollment are retained; the native model/task smoke remains qualified separately.
+
+
+### Created-App scope failure and recovery — 2026-10-07 17:33 UTC
+
+The user confirmed the exact App/repository access and completed creation. GitHub returned App ID `5226756`, name `Animal Bot E2E 20261007`, slug `animal-bot-e2e-20261007`. The stack rejected its valid `issues` subscription because credential verification still used a PR-only optional-event allowlist. Added `issues` to the optional allowlist, retaining older Apps and rejecting broader events/permissions. Six focused credential/lifecycle cases passed; server and UI typechecks passed.
+
+Validation failed before credentials entered the vault. Recovered this same App through the normal manager existing-App API with a newly generated key and paired OAuth client credentials. Extended that API's optional recovery fields to accept both OAuth values together; secrets stayed in the vault, and transient plaintext files were deleted after successful storage. No duplicate App was created. The one-time manifest credential-loss edge remains a recovery concern: this fix does not implement a durable sealed receipt before validation.
+
+Installation `168949146` is scoped to repository ID `1389500980` only. Native GitHub selection and identity confirmation completed; the original draft, connection and bot remain bound. Signed installation delivery independently passed. The no-mention control was delivered and filtered without task creation. The allowed mention admitted GIT-3 (`cef78507-a1e5-4f34-9379-384bc8f5cfbd`) and native run `2aa46373-3165-4714-b42b-1aa407a22f39`. Ordinary-comment orphan ordering delayed mention admission by approximately one minute; this is bounded behavior, not a lost delivery.
+
+Live fixtures now open: issue 2 (new-issue automation) and PR 3 (initial head `c1525d7a904142590babb421971e7590d0a03b26`). Do not claim completed publication based on queued/admitted work. Connection screenshot: `github-connected.png`; scope proof: `github-selected-repository-consent.png` in the evidence folder.
+
+
+### Duplicate response fix and final live results
+
+The first successful tool publications exposed another product defect: the native runner's final summary replaced the generic progress comment with another animal, duplicating the tool's authoritative reply. Final presentations now remain internal after a confirmed task-bound GitHub comment, formal review, or assessment-summary receipt. The receipt must match the company, issue, run, endpoint, conversation and assigned agent. Pending/failed operations, another run's receipt, and check-only assessments do not suppress a final response. A generic completed progress marker remains.
+
+A focused integration case verifies those receipt boundaries. The complete GitHub review workflow group passes **38 tests**, and chat-run publication units pass **20 tests**. After restarting the same instance, three real provider events each produced one animal response plus the generic completed marker, with no duplicate runner animal.
+
+| Case | Result and independently observed evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| Dedicated App setup | App `5226756`, slug `animal-bot-e2e-20261007`, installation `168949146`, repository `1389500980` only. Wizard completed automatically after installation and identity confirmation. Signed delivery and connection verification passed. |
+| PR opened | Run `8b318bd5-3464-4a8d-a979-b918a322ea15` succeeded. Assessment `4074d5fc-87e9-4ccb-a1a6-ee6d8e6e75e4` completed at 5/5. Check `112924406209` passed on initial head `c1525d7...`. The App authored the animal review. |
+| PR updated | Same task `344e157e-ba0f-416e-8c4b-d5819a7e95bb`; run `87545503-e6be-410a-85bf-316db115aa8c` succeeded. New assessment `fdff7e83-a777-4817-af0c-79f2eb8c08dd` completed at 5/5. Check `112928995770` passed on exact new head `b046e7e18bdda6208515088540aee438091ab120`. |
+| New issue | Issue 2 run `28fcb039-2663-4773-93ef-4262e490bfa0` and post-fix issue 4 run `04308fc0-11c7-4f3a-b42b-478ba7b56118` succeeded. Issue 4 has one bot animal reply, comment `6043522941`. |
+| Allowed mention | Initial run `2aa46373-3165-4714-b42b-1aa407a22f39` and post-fix run `97fc1ec0-4499-43c1-a6bb-f2ed972893d1` succeeded on the same task. Post-fix animal comment `6043507486` is authored by the dedicated App. |
+| Denied mention | Temporarily removed cryppadotta from the allowlist, posted mention `6043347709`, and observed `filtered` with `Linked Paperclip account is not currently permitted`. No new run or reply. Restored exactly the prior policy as revision 4. This did not use a second human actor. |
+| No mention | Ordinary comment `6043243532` was delivered and filtered because it did not address the agent or an active task. No task/run admitted. |
+| Duplicate delivery | Redelivered original PR delivery `0efb52f0-c275-11f1-9c40-56d38adaec3f` through GitHub's controls. GitHub recorded HTTP 202 at 17:42:29 UTC. One original local delivery remained, with no extra task, model run or publication before the later fresh-head event. This qualifies duplicate prevention across the gateway; it does not claim a second stack admission. |
+| Persistence | Restart at 17:41 UTC retained the original App, draft, connection, vault, identity, selected repository and revision 4. The three subsequent live events passed. |

+- [5/5 review on the updated head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/pull/3#issuecomment-6043294143).

+- [Allowed-mention animal reply](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/issues/1#issuecomment-6043507486).
+
+All corresponding Paperclip tasks finished. All ten recorded sandbox leases have successful cleanup (eight expired, two released); no active lease remains. Costs were not independently priced for this qualification and no monetary estimate is claimed.
+
+Final source checks after the response fix: repository typecheck, build, token gates and diff whitespace check pass. The earlier full-suite run remains a failed result, not a green claim: 29 failed files / six failed tests, with PostgreSQL bootstrap failures and adapter/timeouts. It was not rerun after the final response fix; the changed workflow's 38 integration and 20 publication tests were rerun and passed. The PR remains draft pending current-head CI/review and full-suite failure resolution.
+
+Qualification limits: personal-account setup, delayed organization approval and production Cloud deployment were not tested live. Creation required recovery of the same App after the obsolete validator discarded its one-time manifest credentials; durable sealed credential receipt before validation remains an unresolved recovery improvement. The wizard's connected summary still lacks a repository list, and local task/run labels in GitHub comments lack public links. These do not change the verified event, access, check or publication outcomes.
+
+### Cleanup completed
+
+Closed disposable issues 1, 2 and 4 and PR 3 without merging. Deleted only the test branch. Retained the App, original connection, bot, vault and test-drive data. The public relay/tunnel was stopped. The private test drive remains available on port 3110 for inspection. Fixes and qualification record were pushed to draft PR #15416; current-head CI/review remain outstanding.
+
+
+### Management page hierarchy qualification
+
+The connected bot now separates instructions, triggers, and review output in
+Settings from repository, people, and tool permissions in Access. Each linked
+person appears once. Advanced controls are disclosed. Settings and Access share
+one versioned draft across all connection tabs. Reviews show the latest assessment
+per repository/PR and preserve earlier commit evidence in history. Conversation
+titles link directly to tasks; provider labels link directly to their threads.
+
+Walkthrough: Connectors → search GitHub → Animal Bot → Settings → Access → Reviews
+→ Conversations. A harmless trailing newline was saved from Access after editing
+Settings, persisted after a reload, and then was removed through the UI. Redacted
+API snapshots confirm the full configuration returned exactly to its original
+value (revision 4 → 6). Repository and people permissions were not changed.
+
+The real instance was inspected at its desktop width, 820px, and 390px with the
+actual mobile shell. Review history expanded correctly and the ASCII animal
+rendered as a code block. Production Storybook fixtures verified a saved edit,
+a pending current commit with its previous passing score hidden, a recoverable
+configuration failure, and a mobile empty conversation state. These fixtures do
+not qualify any new provider execution. Screenshots and configuration comparisons
+are in the existing local E2E evidence directory.
+
+Focused UI checks cover draft retention, revision conflicts, isolated repository
+updates, override preservation/unique field IDs, implicit linked-member event
+configuration, mentions-only trigger preservation, latest-review ordering, pending
+head presentation, and GitHub thread labels. The affected management, setup,
+AgentMail, sidebar, and shared UI-contract group has 47 passing tests. Repository
+typecheck/build, Storybook build, and token gates pass. The earlier full-suite
+failure and outstanding current-head CI/review remain as recorded above.
+
+### Independent GitHub setting and review detail qualification
+
+GitHub review bots now use their own default-off instance experimental setting.
+The shared validator, persisted settings, managed feature catalog, setup and
+management routes, catalog, agent channels, task controls, identity-link admission,
+and agent connector discovery use that setting independently from chat connectors.
+Existing event delivery is not paused merely by hiding the UI.
+
+The same local test drive was restarted and inspected with **GitHub review bots
+on and Chat connectors off**. Connectors showed both GitHub tools and the dedicated
+review bot. Opening Animal Bot still reached Settings and Access. Reviews showed
+the two real commit assessments as separate rows. Each row opened its own detail
+URL with the exact commit, Markdown summary, rationale, coverage, and task/run,
+GitHub comment, and check links. Reload retained the detail route; All reviews
+returned to the list. The detail kept the Reviews contextual navigation. Desktop
+and 390px list/detail layouts were inspected.
+
+Formal approval and request-changes controls retain their off defaults and have
+tooltips describing explicit actions after a completed assessment, independent
+of scores and checks. **Run automatically** explains each person's authored
+PR/issue scheduling and preserves mention-only access when disabled. The
+responsible-member tooltip explains Paperclip accountability without personal
+credential delegation. The tooltips were opened in the live UI, including the
+approval tooltip at 390px. **Add external contributor** replaces the old label.
+The normal bot-tools switch is removed; saved disabled restrictions remain
+disabled until an explicit repair is saved. No bot configuration was changed
+by this walkthrough. A final read found revision 7 with a separately saved
+PR-opened prompt change relative to the previous revision-6 snapshot; that edit
+was preserved. Tools, repository access, and formal review permissions remain
+unchanged.
+
+Focused verification: 388 UI tests and 134 backend/shared settings and identity
+tests pass. The added connector-discovery integration test passes with a disposable
+local PostgreSQL database; the sandbox-only attempt skipped because it could not
+open the database port. The management UI group was rerun after the final tooltip
+copy edit and passes. Repository typecheck/build, production Storybook build,
+and token gates pass; the final discovery change also received focused server
+typecheck/build. These checks do not qualify a new provider or model run. The
+earlier full-suite failure and outstanding current-head CI/review still apply.
+
+### Custom App identity and branding qualification
+
+The live bot is the dedicated **Animal Bot E2E 20261007** App owned by
+`paperclipai`, not the shared Paperclip App. Its verified GitHub author is
+`animal-bot-e2e-20261007[bot]`; the human mention is
+`@animal-bot-e2e-20261007`. The published review's GitHub author and App fields
+agree with the saved endpoint identity.
+
+The setup name field now explains GitHub's derived mention. Connected bots show
+the verified, copyable mention in the header. Settings and wizard completion
+share an optional App name/logo disclosure, the agent's PNG download, and the
+owning App's GitHub settings link. Personal accounts use their corresponding App
+settings path. Unknown legacy ownership uses the settings list, never an assumed
+organization or the installation settings page. A renamed App can refresh its
+identity through existing-App reconnect with stored credentials.
+
+The preserved test drive was restarted after an interruption. The live header
+showed the correct mention; copying and pasting it into an unsaved field proved
+the exact text, then the original field was restored without saving. Downloaded
+avatar is a 512×512 PNG, 30,616 bytes. Desktop and 390px branding layouts were
+inspected. GitHub's App settings link reached its signed-in re-authentication
+gate; no name or logo was changed, and App rename/reconnect was not tested live.
+GitHub's manifest has no logo field, so provider upload remains an optional
+GitHub settings action. No configuration, credentials or permissions changed in
+this walkthrough.
+
+All 59 focused management, setup, avatar-download and clipboard tests pass,
+including Slack's existing download/error/retry coverage for the shared
+downloader. UI typecheck/build, production Storybook build and token gates pass.
+The earlier full-suite failure and current-head CI/review limits still apply.
+
+### HTTP prerequisites and delayed-ping recovery (October 7, evening)
+
+A second dedicated App, **Animal Bot Baby**, returned from installation with
+`chat_webhook_not_verified`. This was a callback-ordering failure, not evidence
+that localhost needs a tunnel: the original registration was created at
+01:13:44 UTC on October 8, and a valid signed ping was recorded at 01:15:19 UTC.
+Cloud enrollment and HTTPS gateway delivery were already active.
+
+The wizard now explains HTTPS webhook delivery before selecting an agent on an
+HTTP instance. Missing or unavailable enrollment shows a warning with Cloud or
+public-HTTPS setup guidance; active enrollment explains that Cloud supplies the
+HTTPS webhook. Desktop and 390px layouts were inspected without creating
+another draft or App.
+
+An installation return before the signed ping now redirects to the original
+draft's waiting screen. Polling continues setup after the ping authenticates,
+without weakening the manager action's signature gate. Live recovery also
+exposed a `verifying` endpoint still at `provider_setup`; the wizard now finishes
+configuration at that stage instead of prematurely attempting the optional
+setup test. Already configured connections still require explicit reconnect.
+
+After restarting the preserved test drive, the same Animal Bot Baby App and
+draft reached **GitHub connected** and `active` / `complete`, with mention
+`@animal-bot-baby`. Its saved signed-ping timestamp, company and assigned agent
+remained unchanged. The original Animal Bot E2E connection remains active at
+configuration revision 7. No new App, tunnel, provider permission, credential
+entry, model turn or review execution was performed by this recovery.
+
+All 21 focused database-backed wizard tests and 32 focused setup/management UI
+tests pass. The delayed-ping regressions exercise both draft and installation-
+advanced states through real configure/finish calls, reject unsigned pings,
+retain App identity/configuration, and create no agent wakeup. UI/server
+typecheck/build, production Storybook build, token gates and diff whitespace
+checks pass. This remains connection qualification; the earlier full-suite
+failure and outstanding current-head CI/review limits still apply.
+
+### Correction: Cloud-backed localhost needs no HTTPS prerequisite (October 8)
+
+The preceding HTTP prerequisite banner was misleading. Cloud already provides
+the public HTTPS receiver, and localhost retrieves signed events through
+outbound requests. The user's Paperclip origin does not need HTTPS or a tunnel
+for this wizard. Removed the banner, its extra enrollment-status query, and
+the two obsolete component stories. Keep the existing conditional Connect
+Paperclip Cloud handoff as the actual setup action when enrollment is absent.
+
+The running localhost wizard now shows Choose agent without an HTTPS warning.
+No new connection or App was created during this correction. The delayed-ping
+waiting and same-draft recovery fixes remain in place. All 30 focused setup and
+management UI tests, UI typecheck/build, Storybook build and token gates pass.
+The earlier full-suite and current-head CI/review limits still apply.
+
+### Explicit mentions in descriptions and comments (October 8)
+
+The user's issue #5 contained `@banana-bot-man` in its description. Its signed
+`issues` delivery reached the stack at 11:24:21 UTC and was acknowledged, but
+the handler used automatic issue policy without looking for an explicit
+mention. Mentions-only correctly disabled automatic work, so no task existed.
+The repository and configuring user's verified identity were already allowed.
+
+Explicit mentions now enter the ordinary manual-message admission path for
+issue and PR descriptions, conversation comments, inline review comments, and
+submitted review summaries. Body edits trigger only when they add a mention;
+an existing mention does not replay on pushes, title edits, reopening, or an
+unrelated body edit. The authenticated editor is the initiating principal.
+Original authors cannot lend their access to an unauthorized editor. The
+existing repository, identity, membership, sponsor, runtime and low-trust gates
+remain authoritative, including current-state checks before task mutation and
+publication. Description requests do not automatically create review checks:
+the agent must use its normal review tools when a review is requested.
+
+Created comments preserve the native adapter's message and thread identities;
+edited requests have distinct delivery-deduplicated identities. Comment edits
+also retain their original lifecycle update. An explicit dependency processes
+the new mention before an orphan edit receipt can wait for the old unmentioned
+comment. Source URLs stay correct through both live and recovered admission.
+Automatic policy skips appear in Activity without retaining provider content.
+
+New App manifests subscribe to `pull_request_review` as well as the existing
+four events. It uses the existing Pull requests permission, with no new
+permission scope. Older Apps remain compatible; review-summary mentions need
+that event enabled in their App settings. The gateway still transports the
+original signed bytes, and the stack owns parsing and admission.
+
+Live qualification used the existing Banana Bot Man App, company, agent,
+installation, vault and single smoke repository, with revision 1 unchanged:
+mentions-only, automatic events empty, and automatic issue runs off.
+
+| Real GitHub source | Paperclip outcome | Provider outcome |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Issue #6 description | GIT-7 completed | One animal response from `banana-bot-man[bot]` |
+| PR #7 description | GIT-8 completed; current head `7f456f37881bf4bfe39692f897d60e1625521298` | 5/5 review with animal; completed successful Paperclip Review check |
+| Issue #8 without mention | No task | Activity explains mentions-only skip |
+| Issue #8 comment edited to add mention | GIT-9 completed | Animal response from the same App |
+| PR #7 inline comment | GIT-10 completed in the exact inline thread | Animal reply under that comment |
+
+The original issue #5 was left intact. Review-summary delivery is covered by
+signed integration tests; the existing App's subscription was not changed for
+live qualification. All 51 GitHub workflow integration tests, 125 parsing,
+policy and webhook configuration tests, 33 catalog tests, and seven native
+GitHub adapter/provider regressions pass. The final five signed-source cases
+also pass with mixed-case repository names and repository-specific guidance.
+Workspace typecheck and build pass; server typecheck and build were repeated
+after the final routing correction.
+
+A fresh full `pnpm test:run` reported one failure in the unchanged
+`workspace-runtime.test.ts` bounded-conflict case and was interrupted after
+that failure while other server suites were still running. That exact test
+passes in isolation. There is no verified baseline or green full-suite claim.

+
+
+## Tool-owned GitHub replies — 2026-10-08
+
+This supersedes the earlier receipt-dependent native-final policy and the
+completed-marker behavior recorded above. GitHub discussion replies use the
+agent's `comment` tool. Review replies use `submit_review`, which publishes the
+summary and check. Runner final prose remains internal for every GitHub run.
+Routine queued, working, native progress and completed comments are suppressed,
+including retained automatic publications from an earlier instance version.
+Explicit Board sends and real question cards remain available.
+
+A failed run can publish one safe fallback if no reply was delivered. Confirmed
+comments, formal reviews, assessment summaries and partial finding receipts
+suppress it. Pending or ambiguous tool writes hold the fallback; an exhausted
+retry or later authorization denial cannot disprove a possible earlier write.
+The guard checks company, endpoint, conversation, task, assigned agent and run,
+and repeats the check after acquiring the credential lane. Terminal reaction
+cleanup stays independent of a provider comment. Legacy test-based setup accepts
+a confirmed, causally bound tool reply instead of requiring a runner summary.
+
+Mention and follow-up comments now start with the authorized GitHub username,
+explain discussion and review tools, preserve custom guidance and ignored paths,
+and identify provider context as untrusted. They omit the revision header and
+empty exclusion list. They tell the agent not to quote the internal instructions
+or add a separate review-completion announcement.
+
+### Live evidence
+
+The same low-trust Animal Bot, Daytona environment, dedicated Banana Bot Man
+App, sole permitted repository and configuring member were reused. Configuration
+revision **1** remains unchanged. These were real signed gateway deliveries and
+native model runs; no synthetic webhook or host credential substituted for them.

+
+## Known organization picker — 2026-10-09
+
+GitHub setup lists organizations already observed through the configuring member's
+usable repository connections and connected company bots. Repository discovery
+retains GitHub's owner type, so personal repository owners and unknown legacy
+observations are not misclassified as organizations. This adds no new OAuth
+handoff or access grant. The account picker deduplicates organizations, preserves
+saved ownership, and offers **Another organization** for free-text entry. The
+two introductory App-creation paragraphs were removed.
+
+Verification: 38 focused wizard/repository metadata tests passed. Shared build,
+UI and server typechecks, UI, server and Storybook builds, and token gates passed. In the
+retained test drive, `paperclipai` appeared from the existing connected App;
+selecting it hid the redundant Organization field. **Another organization**
+accepted `test` and enabled Continue. No GitHub registration was submitted.
+The production Storybook journey covers known organizations and manual entry.
+The repository-wide suite was not repeated for this focused follow-up; its
+previous limitations remain recorded above.
+
+## Mention acknowledgement cleanup — 2026-10-09
+
+The stack already adds eyes when it durably accepts an authorized GitHub
+comment, before queued work executes. Previously, removal waited for the native
+run to finish. A confirmed comment or review-tool publication now stages removal
+in the same transaction as its provider receipt. The existing reaction outbox
+clears the original message independently, retaining retries, credential fences,
+exact source binding and App-owned reaction checks. A late reaction add is
+cancelled if the reply wins the race. Terminal cleanup still handles turns that
+publish no reply; uncertain writes do not count as confirmed delivery.
+
+Live test: the [Gonzo mention](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/issues/5#issuecomment-6083303153)
+was submitted at 14:49:44 UTC. Eyes were observed while Gonzo was queued. Its
+[joke and ASCII animal reply](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/issues/5#issuecomment-6083330049)
+was posted at 14:51:20. Its eyes were gone at 14:51:24 while the same run was
+still running; the native run succeeded at 14:51:31. Banana also received this
+existing subscribed issue thread and replied. Each dedicated App removed only
+its own eyes, leaving Gonzo's reaction intact until Gonzo replied. No subscription,
+identity, permissions, runtime or configuration changes were made.
+
+Evidence: `/private/tmp/github-eyes-live-observations.json`,
+`/private/tmp/github-eyes-pending-20261009.jpg`, and
+`/private/tmp/github-eyes-cleared-20261009.jpg`. The retained test drive remains
+available on port 3110. Description and review-summary mentions still lack
+reaction acknowledgement; this live proof covers a real issue comment.
+
+Verification: 74 focused GitHub workflow and reaction integration cases, plus
+all 34 GitHub receipt/provider stress unit cases passed. Server typecheck and
+build passed. The broader three-file run passed 1,130 cases and failed the
+existing rapid Slack callback-ordering test at its short wait deadline. That
+case also timed out during a concurrent isolated run, then passed by itself on
+both the previous commit `634a7dc53` and this change. The broad run is not claimed
+green. No unrelated Slack code or test timeout was changed. Logs:
+`/private/tmp/github-eyes-regression.log`,
+`/private/tmp/github-eyes-final-targeted.log`,
+`/private/tmp/github-eyes-slack-order-baseline.log`, and
+`/private/tmp/github-eyes-slack-order-final.log`. Repository-wide checks were not
+repeated for this backend follow-up; prior full-suite/CI limitations remain.
+
+## Explicit mentions override bot subscriptions — 2026-10-09
+
+Banana's existing issue subscription treated a Gonzo-only mention as an ordinary
+follow-up. Both Apps share the Animal Bot agent, so Banana's unwanted run could
+also delay Gonzo. Durable admission now checks exact, case-insensitive handles
+of other non-archived GitHub bots in the same company. A message explicitly
+addressed elsewhere is filtered before task work, agent wakeup or eyes. The
+delivery ledger retains identifiers and the reason without retaining content.
+Duplicate and recovered deliveries use the same decision. Mentioning both bots
+still admits both; plain follow-ups, human mentions and unknown handles retain
+subscription behavior. Automatic event policies remain unchanged.
+
+Live test: the [Gonzo-only request](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/issues/5#issuecomment-6083880345)
+was posted at 15:22:51 UTC. Banana recorded "GitHub message explicitly mentions a
+different connected bot" at 15:23:08 and created no run. Gonzo's
+[single joke and ASCII animal reply](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/issues/5#issuecomment-6083891075)
+arrived at 15:23:29, 38 seconds after the request. Its native run
+`3167e9d4-8154-4b88-af88-0316a1409c84` succeeded at 15:23:41. At the final
+observation, no Banana reply or run existed and no eyes remained. This test did
+not observe the pending eyes interval. Existing subscriptions, identities,
+credentials, configuration and Daytona runtime were preserved.
+
+Evidence: `/private/tmp/github-bot-routing-live-observations.json` and
+`/private/tmp/github-bot-routing-gonzo-only-20261009.jpg`.
+
+Verification: 13 new database-backed cases cover issue, PR and inline-review
+subscriptions, exact handles, both-bot mentions, company/provider/archive
+boundaries, duplicate deliveries and restart recovery. The broader GitHub
+workflow/reaction group passed all 87 cases; three related unit suites passed
+all 61 cases. Server typecheck and build passed. Logs:
+`/private/tmp/github-bot-routing-focused.log`,
+`/private/tmp/github-bot-routing-regression.log`,
+`/private/tmp/github-bot-routing-units.log`,
+`/private/tmp/github-bot-routing-typecheck.log`, and
+`/private/tmp/github-bot-routing-build.log`. Repository-wide checks were not
+repeated; the previously recorded full-suite and current-head CI limitations
+remain. The retained test drive is running on port 3110 with this fix.
+
+## Editable GitHub responses — 2026-10-09
+
+Accepted GitHub requests now receive one App-owned working comment instead of
+a new eyes reaction. The assigned agent has `update_comment` for meaningful
+progress, then `comment` or `submit_review` replaces that same comment with the
+final answer or review summary. No caller-selected comment ID is accepted.
+Publication keeps its task, company, person, repository, credential and lease
+checks. Marker recovery handles an uncertain first creation without duplicates.
+Late progress cannot replace a final result. Terminal failure notices also edit
+the same comment; a turn with no final publication ends with a neutral notice.
+Existing disabled and quarantined tool decisions remain intact.
+
+The first live trial correctly edited its acknowledgement with the final answer,
+but the agent could not see the new progress tool. Its persisted Codex thread
+retained the old declarations despite resume advertising the current catalog.
+The native tool contract now rotates incompatible checkpoints while retaining
+the same Paperclip task and saved history. Native GitHub guidance explicitly
+permits provider progress edits and keeps semantic completion internal.
+
+After that fix, the [issue request](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/issues/5#issuecomment-6084847530)
+was posted at 16:20:52 UTC. The [single Gonzo response](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/issues/5#issuecomment-6084851008)

+Daytona runtime. The retained test drive remains running on port 3110.
+
+Verification: 88 database-backed GitHub workflow cases passed, including issue,
+PR and inline replies, retries, lost acknowledgement receipts, corrected review
+assessments, revoked authority, ownership checks, failed turns and absence of
+new eyes reactions. The 69 related publication/event/policy units, 49 native
+checkpoint tests and 129 native prompt tests passed. Server and adapter-utils

+not repeated for this follow-up; prior full-suite and current-head CI limitations
+remain. This change adds no schema migration.
+
+## GitHub instruction skills — 2026-10-09
+
+Common and event-specific bot instructions now use the shared Markdown editor
+and company slash-skill picker. Common instructions reach every admitted task;
+event instructions reach only their event. The runtime selects skill keys from
+the admitted configuration snapshot for the current wake, rather than scanning
+GitHub messages or old task comments. Company scope, queued-event snapshots,
+coalesced wakes, and the existing tool/isolation restrictions remain enforced.
+The trigger selector now explicitly says **@mentions + automatic events**;
+authorized mentions work in all modes, with separate per-person automatic-event
+permission in Access.
+
+The first real skill test exposed a native gap: the selected bundle reached the
+runtime, but external chat correctly suppressed the old task description and
+therefore omitted the native skill-selection signal. The native constructor now
+projects only trusted, assigned skill names into that signal, retaining the
+neutral external-chat title and excluding provider-derived skill references.
+The checkpoint contract refreshes retained provider sessions so the current
+selection is available during bootstrap.
+
+For the live test, the shared editor inserted and saved `/github-instruction-smoke`
+in Gonzo's common instructions. Its skill file contained an expected response
+absent from the GitHub request. The initial request produced an honest unavailable
+skill response. After the native fix, the [second request](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/issues/5#issuecomment-6085445382)
+ran as `5ca93e83-d8d8-4f13-b531-678437350497`. The native turn selected the skill,
+read its materialized `SKILL.md` successfully, and posted the [expected response](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-permissions-smoke-20260926-pap57-fee7428e/issues/5#issuecomment-6085451384):
+“The otter has read its playbook.” plus the skill's ASCII animal. The run
+succeeded and publication used the same working comment. Banana filtered the
+request without retaining its content or starting another run. Temporary test
+instructions were restored through the versioned manager API at revision 3;
+the resulting configuration exactly matches the original configuration.
+
+Verification: 88 database-backed GitHub workflow cases, 61 related policy/skill
+units, 66 management/editor UI tests, and 67 native input/checkpoint tests passed
+(three native transport cases were skipped). Server and UI typechecks/builds,
+Storybook build, token gates and diff whitespace checks passed. Logs are
+`/private/tmp/github-instruction-skill-{integration,units,ui-tests,native-tests}.log`
+(the unit log is named `github-instruction-skill-units.log`), with live evidence
+in `/private/tmp/github-instruction-skill-live-v2-evidence.json` and the screenshot
+`/private/tmp/github-instruction-skills-live-result-20261009.jpg`. The broader
+repository suite was not repeated; the earlier full-suite and current-head CI
+limitations still apply. The retained test drive runs on port 3110.
+
+
+## Settings and Access usability — 2026-10-09
+
+Settings now separates always-available authorized mentions from the automatic-run
+switch and event checkboxes. The passing-score slider spans report-only through
+5/5. Automatic filters are grouped by authors, branches and labels. Ignored files,
+inline options and formal review actions use the same disclosure treatment. The
+header prioritizes the actual App name and includes a larger agent avatar, PNG
+download icon, branding link and identity refresh.
+
+Access separates company members from external contributors. Each row shows
+mentions and automatic-run permissions. Member linking and contributor lookup use
+focused dialogs. The existing all-linked/selected member policy and
+linked-author/allowed-author automatic policies are preserved. Changing an
+individual automatic permission does not silently enable global automation or
+change the member allowlist. Repository pagination and immediate saves are unchanged.
+
+Browser checks covered the running test drive and production Storybook fixtures
+at desktop and 390px mobile widths. Verified cross-tab drafts, discard, the score
+slider, grouped filters, contributor lookup/add/save, and saved filter round trips.
+The walkthrough found that existing list editors deleted trailing separators,
+joining file patterns and category names while typing. They now preserve raw
+editing text while saving normalized lists. All live draft changes were discarded;
+no bot configuration or GitHub access was saved during this UI qualification.
+
+Verification: 52 focused management/wizard tests, UI typecheck/build, Storybook
+build, token gates and whitespace checks passed. Repository-wide checks were not
+repeated for this UI follow-up; the draft PR retains its earlier CI limitations.
+Logs: `/private/tmp/github-ux-{tests,typecheck,build,storybook-build,tokens}.log`.
+Screenshots: `/private/tmp/github-bot-settings-ux-20261009.png` and
+`/private/tmp/github-bot-access-ux-20261009.png`. The existing test drive remains
+available on port 3110.
+
+
+## Typed score and author filters — 2026-10-09
+
+This follow-up replaces the slider and per-person automatic permissions described
+above. The score is a whole-number input from 1 to 5, defaulting to 5. Invalid input
+has an inline error and cannot be saved. Explicit report-only configurations remain
+supported. Inline help distinguishes Paperclip's assessment/check conclusion from
+GitHub's branch-rule requirement and from formal PR approval.
+
+Access no longer shows per-person automatic switches. The scheduler ignores legacy
+`automaticReviews` fields and uses author filters. Current member authorization,
+repository restrictions, global automation, event selection, the external-author
+opt-in and active sponsorship are still enforced. The linked-members description
+uses the connection company's name, even if another company is selected elsewhere.
+
+Live browser checks on the existing port-3110 test drive verified score validation,
+correction and discard, the actual event-specific slash picker, insertion of the
+`github-instruction-smoke` rich link, and retention when switching events. The New
+issue instructions remained separate. Verified company-specific copy and absence
+of per-person switches in Access. Desktop and 390px score layouts were inspected.
+All test draft edits were discarded; no saved bot configuration or GitHub rule was
+changed and no agent run was started during this follow-up.
+
+Focused management/wizard/policy/native-input tests passed (107). A further group
+covering management, policy and heartbeat GitHub launchers passed (69; includes
+repeat coverage). UI and server typechecks, UI build, token gates and whitespace
+checks passed. Repository-wide tests were not repeated; the existing draft PR's
+full-suite/CI qualification gaps remain. Evidence:
+`/private/tmp/github-settings-refinements-*.log`,
+`/private/tmp/github-score-refinements-20261009.png`, and
+`/private/tmp/github-access-refinements-20261009.png`.
