DottaandPaperclip a7dd5284b5 feat: add company fast-response acknowledgements (#15748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Human messages start agent work through task, chat, and
external-channel intake.
> - Agent startup can delay the first visible response.
> - A small direct model call can acknowledge the request while normal
work starts.
> - This response must remain separate from evidence that the agent
answered or completed work.
> - This pull request adds optional company-wide fast responses with
durable receipts, access checks, and cost accounting.
> - Users receive prompt acknowledgement without changing the agent
execution path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: database, shared contracts, server orchestration,
connections, and UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Users can wait for an agent to start before they receive a contextual
response. Generic progress messages do not confirm what the user asked.
An acknowledgement must not falsely complete work or satisfy an
unanswered turn.

**Proposed solution**

Add a disabled-by-default experimental fast-response model using an
existing shared API connection. Generate one short acknowledgement for
each accepted human turn. Use the existing agent identity and external
publication outboxes. Retain platform provenance and account for the
inference independently.

**Alternatives considered**

Running the acknowledgement through the agent runtime adds startup
latency. Restricting implementation to OpenRouter leaves other existing
API connections unsupported. This change supports all existing API
connections and uses OpenRouter for live verification.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends existing agent communication and connection settings.
ROADMAP.md and open pull requests were checked. No duplicate
fast-response implementation was found. The maintainer supplied the
feature plan directly.

## What Changed

- Add Experimental fast responses to instance settings. Keep the feature
off by default. Enforce the flag at intake, dispatch, and publication.
- Move Decision model and Fast response setup to company Settings →
Connections when the experiment is enabled. Place Connections below
Environments. Separate the model sections with clear headings and a
divider. Keep Decision model in General when the experiment is off.
Route Costs setup links to the available settings page.
- Make the acknowledgement prompt a multiline template string. Ask for a
brief, positive response in the user’s language.

- Add settings, connection/model selection, sponsorship, fixed-sample
testing, and Costs history.
- Add a Vercel AI SDK text service for existing native, routed, Bedrock,
and local API connections.
- Add durable per-turn requests, a bounded worker, a three-second
admission deadline, and one inference attempt.
- Integrate task creation, task and agent chat, steering, queued
follow-ups, experimental board chat, shared chat intake, and email.
- Preserve receipt provenance and exclude receipts from completion,
recovery, interaction resolution, and agent wakeups.
- Recheck authorization, source validity, real replies, budgets, and
destination binding before publication. Preserve accounting for
suppressed or uncertain outcomes.
- Add provider contracts, database race tests, channel outbox tests, UI
tests, Stories, and documentation. Keep decision-model execution
unchanged.

## Verification

- Local `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and UI token gates pass after
rebase. The UI typecheck and build also pass after the final navigation
fixes. All 37 focused navigation tests pass. The first full local `pnpm
test:run` invocation reported seven chat failures. All seven passed in
isolated reruns after fixture updates and host cleanup. This invocation
was stopped after the full final-head CI suite passed.
- Initial local database tests hit macOS shared-memory exhaustion. A
diagnostic confirmed `shmget: No space left on device` with the system
limit of 32 IDs. Three abandoned, unattached PostgreSQL IPC headers were
reclaimed. The isolated rerun passed all 31 fast-response and channel
tests. The two additional Slack regression cases also passed in a
separate rerun. No active database was stopped.
- UI token gates pass. Provider contract tests cover all supported API
connection types. Fast-response tests cover uniqueness, authorization,
budgets, expiry, cancellation, restart, real-reply races, and the
experimental flag.
- The test drive verified that disabling the experiment hides
Connections and redirects its direct URL. Enabling it restores the saved
OpenRouter setup. After restart on the final commit, the OpenRouter
settings sample returned “Sure, I’ll take care of fixing the border
around the settings panel.” in 428 ms. It used 260 input and 31 output
tokens and recorded $0.0000576 in reported cost.
- Earlier live OpenRouter verification produced a receipt in 1.013
seconds for a new task. The real agent then supplied its substantive
answer. A separate settings test took 1.34 seconds, used 246 input and
23 output tokens, and recorded $0.0000361.
- Live Slack verification on final commit
`24016fa525961ebc7a4acffdc5019ce123970549` passed for a fresh initial
task and a follow-up in a disposable bot DM. The initial acknowledgement
appeared 2.405 seconds after the Slack message and 1.413 seconds after
durable acceptance; the follow-up appeared in 2.322 seconds and 1.160
seconds respectively. The recorded generation/settlement durations were
898 ms and 697 ms. The initial call used 291 input / 39 output tokens
and cost $0.00006705; the follow-up used 281 / 47 and cost $0.00007035.
- The Slack acknowledgements retained the assigned agent identity and
`origin: fast_response`, source-turn references, and no fabricated run
ID. A status snapshot after the initial receipt showed the task still
`in_progress` with its real execution run. The agent then read the CSV
fixture and correctly reported two ready items, two blockers, and their
owners. Both replies stayed in the originating DM, and no duplicate
generic working message followed the delivered contextual
acknowledgements. The `new` command started a fresh conversation session
without generating a fast response.
- An earlier eligible Slack turn generated a response but suppressed
publication. Its reported cost was retained, generic progress remained,
and the real agent completed the requested result. This is recorded
separately from the two delivered acknowledgements; the history did not
expose a precise suppression reason.
- Slack verification used real signed provider events, the existing
intake/publication paths, and a user-approved temporary webhook-only
HTTPS tunnel. Subscriptions were limited to direct-message events. The
test bot was paused and the tunnel stopped afterward. Live
channel/group-thread and GitHub journeys remain unverified; their mocked
tests cover intake, destination binding, publication, and continued
underlying work.
- Greptile reviewed final commit
`24016fa525961ebc7a4acffdc5019ce123970549` at 5/5. Both new review
findings are fixed and all threads are resolved. [Final-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38060015730)
passed. This includes grouped server/chat/workspace tests, serialized
suites, runner checks, browser journeys, typecheck, build, release
registry, policy, and the canary dry run.
- Manual check: enable Experimental fast responses. Open company
Settings → Connections. Select a shared API connection and model. Save
and use Test response. Submit a task message and confirm that its
receipt does not complete the task.

## Risks

- The migration adds receipt and configuration tables plus accounting
references. It uses idempotent statements and follows the current
migration sequence.
- A slow provider, authorization change, or real-agent reply can
suppress an acknowledgement. Existing progress feedback remains
available.
- Unknown provider billing retains a reservation until reconciliation.
External deliveries with uncertain outcomes must not be blindly
repeated.
- Live Slack initial-task and follow-up DM journeys pass. Live Slack
channel/group-thread and GitHub journeys remain unverified. The PR
remains a draft and records these gaps. Final-head repository CI and
automated review pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser interaction. The runtime does not expose an exact
model snapshot ID or context-window size; these are not asserted.

DottaandPaperclip a7a244ab33 feat: add company decision models with permission and cost controls (#15473)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Optional product features need small, typed model decisions.
> - Each company needs to choose which shared API connection pays for
those decisions.
> - Calls must retain user and task permissions, budget limits, and cost
attribution.
> - This pull request adds a managed decision service, setup UI, and
request history.
> - Features can check availability cheaply and keep their existing
behavior when decisions are unavailable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server services, shared contracts, database accounting, Company
Settings, and Costs.

**Problem or motivation**

Paperclip has no common decision-model service. Adding provider calls
within each feature would duplicate credential access, permission
checks, and billing rules.

**Proposed solution**

Let a connection manager configure one company decision model. Support
OpenAI Decisions and Jev through OpenRouter. Provide a fixed setup test
and metadata-only history. Default company-sponsored background
decisions to on during setup, and preserve a saved off setting.

**Alternatives considered**

Per-feature credentials would duplicate existing connection management.
Personal overrides and provider fallback chains add permission and
billing complexity; they remain deferred.

**Roadmap alignment**

Reviewed ROADMAP.md and searched open PRs. This extends existing
connection access and budget accounting. Product features that call the
service remain outside this change. No matching decision-model service
PR was found.

## What Changed

- Add company settings, an internal `decisionModelService`, local
availability checks, and trusted human, agent/run, and system contexts.
- Pin Vercel AI SDK provider dependencies and adapt boolean, choice, and
ordered-score decisions for both providers. Bound requests and time;
disable paid retries.
- Add durable invocation metadata and agentless decision ledger charges.
Preserve fractional cents, pricing evidence, dispatch identity, and
unresolved billing holds.
- Share the company accounting lock and apply company, agent, and
project budgets. Settle charges once, retain unknown holds, and recover
interrupted calls without resubmission.
- Reuse connection setup and management UI. Add a Decisions view under
Costs, production-component Storybook coverage, database migration, and
service documentation.

## Verification

- Passed 166 current-code tests covering the decision service/provider,
setup component, Costs, OpenAPI, and every failure from the earlier
broad run. Coverage includes native SDK wire formats, refusals, billed
malformed responses, permission and secret-rotation races, identity
changes, concurrent budget admission, unresolved holds, agent/task
deletion, and stale setup feedback.
- Passed 170 existing connection, cost, budget, heartbeat-accounting,
and profile regression tests.
- Passed repository typecheck, production build, and design token gates
after integrating master. Verified the generated migration on a fresh
test database and upgraded the populated preview database from the
branch's earlier migration without losing settings or usage.
- Ran the required full `pnpm test:run`: its general phase completed
with 16,354 passed and 10 failures across five files while this branch
was still being updated. Every reported failure passes in the
current-code rerun; the serialized phase did not run after that failure.
The full GitHub CI suite passed on `b1b856a88`: general and serialized
tests, browser shards, runner checks, typecheck, production build,
packaging/canary, and policy gates. [CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37673106360).
- Passed the full-shell Storybook setup-to-history interaction test
again after integrating master. Greptile rates the final revision 5/5
with zero unresolved threads.
- Walked through the running app: empty setup, add each provider, save,
reload, run all three sample questions, inspect fractional charges in
history, switch provider while sponsorship is off, disable, and
reconnect. Checked mobile settings. These tests used the actual UI,
vault, server, SDKs, and database with simulated upstream responses.
- Live paid setup tests remain unverified: this environment has no
authorized OpenAI/OpenRouter credentials available. No mocked test is
presented as live provider evidence.

Reviewer journey: Company Settings → General → Decision model.
Add/select a shared API connection, save, run the billed sample, open
View usage, then disable decisions and verify Run test is disabled after
reload.

## Risks

- The SDK decision interface is experimental. Pinned versions and
wire-format tests limit upgrade drift.
- The migration allows agentless service charges and reservations.
Existing agent cost-reporting APIs still require an agent, and decision
receipts stay separate from run reconciliation.
- Timeouts can have unknown provider charges. Holds remain until an
audited accounting correction resolves them.
- OpenAI prices use a versioned Decisions rate snapshot; OpenRouter
costs use provider receipts. Unknown pricing is retained as unknown.
- A configured company authorizes background spending by default. Setup
explains this, and managers can turn it off.
- Live provider account/model availability still needs the two
credentialed acceptance checks.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and browser tools. The exact serving revision and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.
