DottaandPaperclip 71af2fbc3b fix(slack): teach agents how people connect their accounts (#15576)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Slack connections let people talk to an agent with their own
Paperclip permissions.
> - Each bot has a saved command that starts account linking.
> - The Access page explains this flow, but Slack agent turn context
omitted it.
> - An agent could guess the command or confuse channel membership with
Paperclip access.
> - This pull request gives agents the saved command and account
confirmation instructions.
> - People can ask the agent how to join without changing access
controls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Slack agent context explained messages, tools, and questions. It did not
explain how a teammate can connect an account. The saved slash command
can differ from the current agent name.

**Expected behavior**

Give the saved bot command, such as `/research_ops connect`. The
teammate runs it themselves. They sign in through a private confirmation
link. A new company member must receive admin approval before account
confirmation. The connection manager can copy instructions from Access →
Invite people.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a Slack bot with a custom slash command.
2. Rename its assigned agent.
3. Inspect a fresh or resumed Slack task prompt. Before this change, it
contains no account invitation instructions or saved connect command.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `d6df12cef69fcaf2d2fe66a393168931d5b8b4e7`.

**Deployment mode**

Applies to local and hosted Slack chat connections. Deterministic tests
used a local isolated database. The new model probe has not run against
a live Slack bot.

Related work: Refs #15413 and #13638. This fixes agent guidance for
their existing account-linking flow. It adds no new membership system or
invitation endpoint.

## What Changed

- Read only the saved public slash command from the company-scoped
conversation endpoint. Supply it only to the assigned agent for Slack
turns with an active or verifying connection.
- Validate the command with the shared Slack configuration schema. Refer
to Access → Invite people when it is missing or invalid. Never guess
from the current agent name.
- Explain personal account confirmation, link expiry, and company
membership approval on fresh and resumed turns. Distinguish channel
invitations from Paperclip access.
- Add deterministic guidance regressions, a manual invitation model
probe, and setup documentation.

## Verification

- Passed: 63 tests in `heartbeat-context-summary.test.ts` and
`heartbeat-chat-task-link.test.ts`.
- Passed: four real-heartbeat regressions in
`heartbeat-slack-invitation.test.ts`. They check the saved command after
an agent rename, a persisted resumed session, full and compact prompts,
missing-command fallback, inactive endpoints, and a different assigned
agent. They also reject caller-supplied command fields and exclude other
setup metadata.
- Passed: the isolated `chat-channels.integration.test.ts` case
`discovers a Slack connect identity without starting work or granting
access`. It covers the private link, duplicate connect requests, and
nonmember access requests without a membership grant.
- Passed: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/server build`.
- Passed: `pnpm test:slack-connector --list` and `git diff --check`.
- Passed: repository `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm
check:token-gates`. Typecheck required local IPC access for the
migration check.
- Passed: final-commit CI, with 54 successful checks and two optional
Storybook checks skipped. CI includes all server, chat, workspace,
serialized, Runner, and browser test shards, typecheck, build, and
canary dry run.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` was started. It was stopped after full
CI passed; it had no final local summary. The focused invitation checks
passed locally. Do not count the interrupted local run as a full-suite
pass.
- Greptile gave the exact final commit
`f37e52bde621ef7f5b2bb345074d53345f8e4ee9` a 5/5 score. Both review
findings were fixed and their threads resolved.
- The new `invite-person` model probe is manual. These deterministic
results do not establish a live model or Slack acceptance pass.

## Risks

- Model guidance cannot prove that a person joined. The existing
account-linking and membership checks remain authoritative.
- Legacy rows without a saved command use the Access page fallback.
Invalid command text is excluded from the prompt.
- The query selects only the public command. It does not expose
registration secrets, tokens, or personal confirmation links.
- No schema changes, new provider requests, permission grants, or
telemetry changes.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact backend variant and context
window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, code editing, and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip f47614046d fix(slack): upload agent avatars directly during Cloud setup (#15566)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - Slack setup creates a dedicated bot for an agent.
> - The setup should upload that agent's avatar.
> - The current upload asks Slack to fetch an image from the board
origin.
> - Cloud requires a tenant session at that origin, so Slack receives
HTTP 401.
> - This change renders the PNG on the server and uploads the file
directly.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15413.

**What happened?**

Automatic Slack setup left the app and bot with default icons on Cloud
staging. An unauthenticated request to the exact avatar URL returned
HTTP 401 with `tenant_session_required`. Local setup did not expose this
Cloud ingress requirement.

**Expected behavior**

New Slack bots receive the assigned agent's 512-pixel avatar with the
Paperclip dark background.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a Slack app through automatic setup on a Cloud tenant.
2. Complete installation.
3. Inspect the bot avatar in Slack. The previous URL-based upload cannot
fetch the image without a tenant session.

## What Changed

- Render the assigned agent's preset PNG with the existing bounded
worker pool.
- Send PNG bytes as multipart `file` data to `apps.icon.set` instead of
passing a board URL.
- Keep the temporary token in the Authorization header. Let fetch set
the multipart boundary.
- Recheck management permission and credential-lease ownership after
rendering. Close the worker pool during chat service shutdown.
- Cover actual PNG dimensions, uploaded bytes, failure recovery, and
secret-safe responses. Update deployment documentation.

## Verification

- Passed: 84 focused tests across automatic Slack registration and
on-demand agent avatars.
- Passed: full repository build.
- Passed: full repository typecheck. All 54 current-head GitHub checks
passed, including the complete test matrix, all browser shards, build,
typecheck, canary, and security checks. Greptile completed on
`79e79f6fc` with 5/5 and no actionable findings or open review threads.
- The Cloud fetch failure was reproduced without browser credentials. No
Cloud access rule was changed.
- A real Slack upload with this new path still requires deployment and a
fresh automatic setup. Existing apps retain the manual avatar-upload
fallback.

## Risks

- The renderer can time out or Slack can reject the upload. Both
failures preserve the saved app and leave installation usable.
- The renderer adds a bounded, lazy worker pool to Slack registration.
Shutdown closes it.
- No migration, bot permissions, credential retention, or Cloud
authentication behavior changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser inspection. The runtime does not expose a more
specific authoring model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip d66acb7ac1 feat: automate Slack bot app setup and installation (#15413)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat connectors give each agent a customer-owned bot and task-backed
conversations.
> - Manual Slack setup requires app creation and copying durable
credentials.
> - Operators need a shorter setup that an assisting agent can use
safely.
> - This pull request creates the app through Slack's Manifest API and
installs it through OAuth.
> - Durable registration state supports recovery without creating
another app.
> - A four-screen wizard, automatic avatar upload, and OAuth account
linking reduce setup work.
> - Connector settings and per-turn tool guidance support daily use
after installation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native Slack bot setup, company secret storage, chat connector
management, and agent tool guidance.

**Problem or motivation**

New Slack bots require manual app creation and copying a signing secret
and bot token. Interrupted setup can create duplicate apps. The setup
and management screens contain unnecessary controls. Agents also need
guidance for native questions, files, thread replies, and governed Slack
actions.

**Proposed solution**

Use a temporary app-configuration access token to create a
customer-owned app. Save durable secrets in the vault. Bind OAuth to the
initiating actor, company, endpoint, registration revision, scopes, and
configured origins. Preserve manual and existing-app recovery. Link the
installing user's account, send a welcome DM, and advance from saved
server evidence. Keep request-URL recovery instructions available if
automatic connection detection waits.

**Alternatives considered**

The Slack CLI adds installation requirements. Socket Mode changes
transport. A shared Paperclip-owned app changes app ownership. These
alternatives are outside this change.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends existing chat connectors and secrets capabilities. Related
public work: #14037 and #13954 cover Slack MCP prerequisites and user
OAuth. No duplicate bot-registration PR was found.

## What Changed

- Share one reviewed manifest builder between automatic registration and
manual setup.
- Add replay-safe migration 0318 and company-bound registration state
with vault references and uncertain-creation recovery.
- Add registration, installation, callback, and resume APIs with
short-lived, single-use OAuth state.
- Save installation credentials before downstream checks and preserve
bot identity constraints.
- Reduce automatic setup to four screens. Keep advanced app details,
manual recovery, and existing-app setup.
- Upload the agent avatar with the Paperclip dark background. Link the
OAuth installer's account and send setup DMs.
- Show agent and connector-owner avatars. Simplify settings, access, and
conversation screens.
- Discover joined Slack channels and enable them by default. Start a
task from a bare mention and admit same-thread follow-ups.
- Refresh Slack tool guidance each turn. Add native-form, file,
approval, and delivery regressions plus manual model probe definitions
and sanitized acceptance records.
- Update deployment/database docs, OpenAPI, redaction, removal cleanup,
production Storybook stories, and provider browser tests.
- Merge current master and move the registration migration after its
latest migration without rewriting published commits.

The completed Slack success view intentionally has a single centered
**Done** action and no **Save & exit**, as explicitly requested by the
product owner. `DESIGN.md` records this exception; unfinished setup
steps retain the aligned wizard footer.

## Verification

- Passed after the master merge: repository typecheck, full build,
Storybook build, design-token gates, module-boundary gates, and
migration generation.
- Passed: all 352 focused Slack deterministic tests and all 14 affected
provider browser tests. Browser tests use controlled provider fixtures
and a separate throwaway instance.
- Passed on current head `c5d01e0e2`: the complete GitHub test matrix
(general server, chat, all workspaces, serialized server, and Runner),
all eight browser shards, typecheck/release registry, build, canary dry
run, security checks, and policy gates. There are 52 passing checks and
no pending or failing checks.
- Greptile completed on the exact current head with 5/5 and no
actionable findings or open review threads.
- Local repair verification passed 93 focused tests, including same-app
reinstall after revocation and rejection of consent started before
revocation, the AgentMail browser journey, and repository typecheck.
Local build and Storybook build also passed. The redundant local
full-suite rerun was stopped after the complete current-head CI matrix
passed.
- Real Slack setup and agent replies were exercised in the authorized
isolated test drive during the setup iteration.
- The ten additional model probes were attempted with legacy
`codex_local`, `gpt-5.6-sol`: five passed, two failed, and three were
partly verified. Native runtime is not qualified. See
`server/src/services/connectors/slack/evals/2026-10-08-acceptance.md`
for evidence and limits.
- Passing model probes cover native forms, downloaded file bytes, bare
mentions with thread replies, explicit posts/reactions, and saved
approval denial.
- The controlled uncertain-write probe found wrong delivery-check IDs.
The canvas fallback attempt used an invented tool name. Search
pagination/native search, a private-source denied-tool receipt, and
distinct board/webhook origins remain unqualified.

Reviewer path: enable Chat connectors, start Slack chat setup, select an
agent, enter an app-configuration access token, and approve Slack
installation. Send a message to the bot and confirm that setup advances
to success. Inspect settings and allowed channels. See
`doc/connections/SLACK-AUTOMATIC-SETUP.md` for deployment and recovery.

## Risks

- Slack app creation has no provider idempotency guarantee. A timeout
after dispatch stays uncertain until the operator checks Slack.
- OAuth needs a stable public HTTPS board origin. Webhook ingress may
use a separate configured HTTPS origin. Workspace policy can delay
installation.
- Migration 0318 can replay safely on instances that applied the earlier
development migration.
- OAuth installation now links the installer to the initiating Paperclip
user. Identity checks and company access rules still apply.
- Joined channels now enable bot responses by default. Linked-user
authorization and per-action approval rules still apply.
- Model behavior has the documented delivery-check and canvas fallback
failures. A passing CI run does not establish that every model probe
passed.
- Removing the connection does not delete the customer's Slack app. No
new first-party telemetry is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification. The runtime does not expose a more
specific authoring model ID or context-window size. The live bot probes
used OpenAI `gpt-5.6-sol` through `codex_local` in legacy mode.
