## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, where
operators need a reliable way to find and act on work awaiting their
input.
> - The attention and issue-thread interaction subsystems expose those
decision points across server APIs and the board UI.
> - The previous navigation and interaction presentation left these
actions fragmented and did not offer a controlled rollout for the
Decisions surface.
> - This branch adds the attention feed, richer interaction cards,
grouping, dismiss/snooze behavior, and a gated Decisions sidebar entry.
> - It also keeps experimental settings and API contracts synchronized,
with an idempotent migration for the new dismissal state.
> - This pull request delivers the complete, tested attention/Decisions
experience as one reviewable unit.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Adds an operator-focused attention queue and Decisions experience:
grouped decision cards, semantic interaction actions, dismiss/snooze
handling, resilient interaction states, and an experimental flag to
control the Decisions navigation entry.
## Feature Context
### Problem or Motivation
Operators currently have to hunt across approvals, interactions, failed
runs, and budget alerts to find decisions that need their action.
### Proposed Solution
Provide a gated Decisions attention queue that groups actionable items,
supports direct resolution, and preserves operator control through
dismiss and snooze actions.
### Alternatives Considered
Keep separate, source-specific views only; this leaves cross-cutting
operator decisions fragmented and harder to prioritize.
### Roadmap Alignment
This improves the V1 control-plane operator workflow by making pending
governed actions discoverable in one company-scoped surface.
## What Changed
- Added server attention-feed services, routes, interaction handling,
dismiss/snooze support, and an idempotent `0145` inbox-dismissal
migration.
- Added shared attention, inbox-dismissal, and experimental-settings
contracts.
- Added Decisions/attention UI, interaction-card states, sidebar
badge/navigation integration, grouping, keyboard support, and Storybook
coverage.
- Added tests for attention behavior, thread interactions, settings
normalization, dismissals, and API behavior.
- Removed generated screenshots from the final PR diff and rebased the
branch onto current `master`.
## Verification
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/inbox-dismissals.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts

ui/src/lib/attention.test.ts
ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx` — passed: 158 tests
across 9 focused files.
- GitHub Actions for `ad636f560`: build and typecheck/release-registry
have passed; remaining general-server and Greptile checks are in
progress.
## Risks
- Moderate: this is a cross-layer attention/interaction feature with a
new migration and navigation behavior.
- The `enableDecisions` experimental setting defaults to off, limiting
rollout impact.
- Existing dismissal data is backfilled to `dismiss`; the migration is
idempotent and uses guarded constraint creation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The issue/task orchestration subsystem tracks parent–child and
blocker–dependent relationships, forming a directed acyclic (in
intention) subtree below each root issue
> - Agents and operators have no lightweight way to inspect the
dependency and wake state across an entire issue subtree — they must
walk the tree issue-by-issue, making multiple round-trips with full
object fetches
> - A bounded, read-only subtree diagnostic endpoint lets callers
understand the health of an entire work tree (which nodes are blocked,
which are cycling, which have pending wakes) from a single authenticated
request
> - This pull request adds `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/subtree`, a
depth/node/per-node capped traversal that reuses the blocker and wake
projection helpers from the companion blocker and wake diagnostics
endpoints (see Refs #9114, #9133)
> - The benefit is that platform operators, monitoring, and coaching
tooling can surface \"why is this subtree stalled?\" across all nodes
without database access or unbounded graph walks, using only data the
caller already has read permission for
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9114 (companion blocker diagnostics endpoint — blocker projection
helpers reused here)
Refs #9133 (companion wake diagnostics endpoint — wake projection
helpers reused here)
## What Changed
- **New route** `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/subtree` in
`server/src/routes/issues.ts`: returns a bounded subtree traversal
rooted at `:id`, with depth/node/per-node caps and explicit truncation
flags
- **Cycle-safe traversal**: visited-node set prevents infinite loops on
any accidental cycle in the ancestry graph
- **Per-node authorization**: each subtree node is individually filtered
through `assertIssueReadAllowed`; unauthorized nodes are omitted from
the response and do not influence aggregate counts
- **Blocker and wake reuse**: per-node blocker rows and wake events are
projected through the same helpers as #9114 and #9133 — raw wake
payloads, raw errors, activity details, and trigger detail fields are
stripped
- **Low-trust filtering**: the `mention-scoped` low-trust path redacts
node/blocker identifiers for unauthorized actors, consistent with #9133
- **Truncation reporting**: response includes `depthTruncated`,
`nodeTruncated`, and per-node `blockersTruncated`/`wakesTruncated` flags
when caps are hit
- **Shared types** in `@paperclipai/shared`:
`IssueSubtreeDiagnosticsResponse` and supporting node/blocker/wake types
exported from the shared package
- **OpenAPI tag registration** for the new route
- **API reference docs** in
`skills/paperclip/references/api-reference.md`
- **Test coverage**
(`server/src/__tests__/issue-subtree-diagnostics-routes.test.ts`,
embedded Postgres): happy path, quiet singleton (no children/blockers),
node cap truncation, mention-scoped low-trust filtering, cross-company
denial
## Verification
```bash
# Subtree diagnostics tests only
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-subtree-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
# Full diagnostics suite (blocker + wake + subtree)
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-diagnostics-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-wake-diagnostics-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-subtree-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
# Type-check shared and server packages
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
# Whitespace / diff check
git diff --check
```
All commands passed locally (5 subtree tests, 17 total across the three
diagnostics test files).
## Risks
- **No schema or migration changes** — read-only projection over
existing relations; no DDL risk
- **Bounded traversal** — depth, node count, and per-node blocker/wake
caps prevent unbounded graph walks; truncation is reported explicitly in
the response
- **Auth boundary** — root issue read is company-scoped and checked
before the subtree is built; each subtree node is individually
authorized; cross-company access is denied at `assertCompanyAccess`
- **No raw payloads** — raw wake payload, raw error, activity details,
and trigger detail fields are stripped from all nodes, consistent with
the companion endpoints
- Low overall risk; the endpoint is additive and read-only
## Model Used
- **Provider:** Anthropic
- **Model:** Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`)
- **Tool use:** yes (file reads, edits, bash execution, Paperclip API
calls)
- **Reasoning mode:** standard (no extended thinking)

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open-source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task/issue lifecycle subsystem tracks when agents wake up, are
suppressed, or are deferred, recording each wake request in
`agent_wakeup_requests` and each defer/suppression event in
`activity_log`
> - When an agent appears stuck or doesn't resume after a dependency
resolves, there is currently no read-only API surface to inspect its
wake history — operators must query the database directly
> - Making wake history queryable via a first-class endpoint lets
operators, support, and monitoring tools diagnose "why didn't this agent
wake up?" without database access
> - This pull request adds `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/wakes`,
returning a bounded 14-day/50-row projection of wake requests and
defer/suppression activity events, with a deterministic `diagnosis`
field and a `likelyReason` inference — including a Case-B inference ("no
wake enqueued because a visible blocker is not done") that reuses the
blocker readiness data from the companion blocker diagnostics endpoint
(see Refs #9114)
> - The benefit is that platform operators can answer "why is this agent
not waking up?" from a safe, read-only HTTP endpoint rather than needing
direct database access, and CI/monitoring can assert expected wake
behavior
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #9114 (companion blocker diagnostics endpoint, already merged —
this PR extends the same diagnostic surface to wake/activity history)
## What Changed
- **New route** `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/wakes` in
`server/src/routes/issues.ts`: returns a bounded (14-day window, 50-row
cap) projection of `agent_wakeup_requests` rows and wake-relevant
`activity_log` rows (defer/suppression events)
- **Sanitized projection**: raw `payload`, `details`, `error`, and
`triggerDetail` fields are stripped; unknown free-form `source`,
`reason`, and `status` values are projected to `"other"` to prevent
schema bleed
- **Deterministic `diagnosis` and `likelyReason` fields**: includes
Case-B inference ("no wake enqueued — visible blocker not done") that
calls the existing blocker-readiness helper from Slice 1 (#9114) so the
wake surface can explain missing wakes caused by outstanding blockers
- **Auth**: `assertCompanyAccess` + `assertIssueReadAllowed`;
cross-company requests are denied; Case-B blocker inference filters by
caller trust level so hidden (low-trust) blockers are mentioned but not
identified
- **Types in `@paperclipai/shared`**: `IssueWakeDiagnosticsResponse`,
`WakeEvent`, `ActivityEvent` exported from the shared package
- **OpenAPI tag registration** for the new route
- **Skill reference docs** in
`skills/paperclip/references/api-reference.md` documenting the endpoint
contract
- **Test coverage**
(`server/src/__tests__/issue-wake-diagnostics-routes.test.ts`, embedded
Postgres): happy path, empty/null diagnosis, Case-B inference, low-trust
hidden blocker, cross-company denial, raw blob minimization, cap
behaviour, combined blocker+wake test run
## Verification
```bash
# Wake diagnostics tests only
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-wake-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
# Wake + blocker diagnostics together (integration)
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-diagnostics-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-wake-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
# Type-check shared and server packages
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
# Whitespace / diff check
git diff --check
```
All commands passed locally.
## Risks
- **No schema or migration changes** — this is a read-only projection
over existing tables; no DDL risk.
- **Bounded queries** — 14-day window + 50-row cap limit per call; no
unbounded scans.
- **Auth boundary** — cross-company access is denied at
`assertCompanyAccess`; Case-B inference uses the same per-node trust
filtering as the blocker endpoint so low-trust blockers are acknowledged
but not identified.
- Low overall risk; the endpoint is additive and read-only.
## Model Used

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. Feature description:
**Subsystem affected:** `server/` — REST API & orchestration services;
`packages/shared` — types, constants, validators, API paths
**Problem or motivation**
There is no API endpoint to inspect *why* an issue is blocked or to get
a per-blocker readiness summary. Clients must walk the issue graph
manually or fetch full issue objects, which requires multiple
round-trips and is expensive.
**Proposed solution**
A single `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/blockers` endpoint returns a
bounded projection: root issue summary, an ordered blocker list with
per-blocker `readiness` state, and a top-level `diagnosis` field
summarizing overall blocking status. Authorization mediation omits
blockers the caller cannot read, so `diagnosis` only reflects visible
data.
**Alternatives considered**
A general graph-walk query (too broad/expensive for a targeted
diagnostic call); enriching the existing `GET /api/issues/:id` response
(too coupled to the main response shape and adds weight for callers that
do not need blocker detail).
**Roadmap alignment**
Read-only observability surface over existing data; no database schema
changes. This aligns with tooling that helps users understand dependency
state without mutating anything.
## What Changed
- Added `GET /api/issues/:id/diagnostics/blockers` route to the server
- Returns per-blocker `readiness` state and a top-level `diagnosis`
field summarizing overall blocking status
- Enforces `issue:read` authorization per-blocker: unauthorized blockers
are omitted and do not influence `diagnosis` or `readiness` values
- Added shared TypeScript response types in `@paperclipai/shared`
- Added route-level tests using embedded Postgres
- Added API documentation in the `paperclip` skill
## Verification
```sh
./node_modules/.bin/vitest run server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-diagnostics-routes.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
```
All three commands pass locally.
## Risks
- Read-only endpoint over existing relations — no writes, no schema or
migration changes — low risk
- Authorization mediation intentionally omits unauthorized blockers from
both the list and from `diagnosis`/`readiness`; callers with partial
access will see a narrower picture than the full blocker graph

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents coordinate through issue threads, so issue comments and
interactions are part of the task authorization surface.
> - Low-trust and boundary-limited agents can receive narrow
mention-scoped access, but that must not turn into broad same-company
issue-thread reads.
> - The comment creation path was narrowed to allow explicit mention
replies without granting mutation access.
> - The surrounding list/read routes still needed to enforce the same
`issue:read` boundary before returning thread data.
> - This pull request applies the issue read check to issue comment and
interaction listing routes, and locks that behavior with server
regressions.
> - The benefit is that narrow cross-agent collaboration remains
possible without exposing unrelated issue-thread history.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Bug fix:
- What happened: same-company agents outside an issue read boundary
could still hit issue-thread listing routes and receive thread data.
- Expected behavior: issue comments and issue-thread interactions should
only be listed after the actor is allowed to read the issue.
- Steps to reproduce: configure a peer agent denied by the issue read
boundary, then request `GET /api/issues/:id/comments` or the issue
interaction listing route.
- Paperclip version/commit: current `master` before this branch.
- Deployment mode: applies to server authorization in all modes.
Related public context: #7389, #7863, #8024.
## What Changed
- Added issue read enforcement before listing issue comments.
- Added issue read enforcement before listing issue-thread interactions.
- Added server regressions for denied peer-agent issue-thread access
while preserving mention-scoped collaboration behavior.
- Removed an avoidable per-mentioned-comment issue reload in
mention-grant authorization by passing the already-loaded issue assignee
through the helper.
- Documented cross-agent issue read/comment authorization behavior in
the Paperclip API reference.
- Added a resilient fallback for pinned external skills when GitHub tree
fetches are temporarily unavailable during catalog builds.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts`
- 2 test files passed
- 84 tests passed
- Existing mocked recovery revalidation warnings were emitted by the
route suite and the command exited 0
- Greptile: 5/5 on commit `b73fc323f192dc44f88374c16865008d4348923b`; no
unresolved review threads.
- `pnpm vitest run packages/skills-catalog/src/catalog-builder.test.ts`
- 1 test file passed
- 6 tests passed
- CI: all visible PR checks are terminal green on commit
`b73fc323f192dc44f88374c16865008d4348923b`.
## Risks
Low risk. This tightens read authorization on issue-thread listing
routes; any caller that depended on same-company access without
`issue:read` will now receive 403 and must use an explicit grant or
valid issue read path.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex, Codex coding agent environment, tool use and local
command execution enabled, reasoning mode active. Context window not
exposed by the runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent work is coordinated through issues, comments, interactions,
and approval-style handoffs.
> - Existing issue-thread interactions could ask questions, suggest
tasks, and request confirmation, but they did not support a structured
checkbox confirmation payload for choosing one or more options.
> - That gap made board/user confirmations harder to validate
consistently across API callers, plugin helpers, CLI tooling, and the
UI.
> - This pull request adds the shared checkbox confirmation contract,
server handling, client helpers, and issue-thread UI needed to render
and submit structured selections.
> - The benefit is that agents can request bounded multi-select
confirmations in the same audited issue-thread flow as other Paperclip
interactions.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- No public GitHub issue found for this exact branch. Internal Paperclip
issue: PAP-10415 / PAP-10441 requested creating this PR for the checkbox
confirmation issue-thread UI component work.
- GitHub duplicate search performed for checkbox confirmation /
issue-thread interaction PRs; no matching open PR was found.
- Related issue search result `#7497` was unrelated company file cleanup
work, so it is not linked as a related issue.
## What Changed
- Added shared types, validators, constants, and tests for
`request_checkbox_confirmation` interactions.
- Extended server issue-thread interaction service and routes for
checkbox confirmation creation, validation, expiration, and response
handling.
- Added CLI, MCP, and plugin SDK helper coverage so external callers can
create the new interaction shape consistently.
- Updated the issue-thread interaction UI to render checkbox
confirmations with min/max bounds, selection summaries, stale-target
states, and accept/decline flows.
- Documented the checkbox confirmation interaction contract in the
Paperclip skill/API reference.
## Verification
- Rebased cleanly on `paperclipai/paperclip` `master` fetched into
`public-gh/master` at `a4fa0eaf5`.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows` changes.
- Ran focused tests with `NODE_ENV=test`:
```sh
NODE_ENV=test pnpm run preflight:workspace-links
NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx ui/src/lib/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts cli/src/__tests__/issue-subresources.test.ts cli/src/__tests__/project-goal.test.ts packages/mcp-server/src/tools.test.ts packages/plugins/sdk/tests/testing-actions.test.ts
```
Result: 8 test files passed, 78 tests passed.
- CI on latest head `63b9e55` is green.
- Greptile Review passed on latest head; GraphQL review-thread check
shows all Greptile threads resolved.
## Risks
- Medium surface area because the interaction contract touches shared
validators, server routes/services, UI rendering, CLI, MCP, plugin SDK
helpers, and docs.
- No database migrations are included.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally excluded per repository lockfile
policy.
- UI screenshots are not attached because the task explicitly requested
not to add design screenshots or images unless they were part of the
work; component tests cover the new rendering and interaction states.

loops.
> - The prior rollup mixed this operator polish with database backups,
backend reliability, thread scale, and cost/workflow primitives.
> - This pull request isolates the remaining board QoL, settings,
issue-detail integration, adapter config cleanup, and skills smoke
tooling.
> - It includes some integration-level overlap with the thread and
workflow slices so this branch can run from `origin/master` while still
preserving the full original work.

changes.
## What Changed
- Added board/settings polish for agents, routines, company settings,
project workspace detail, and issue detail controls.
- Added agent/routine UI regression tests and New Issue dialog coverage.
- Integrated issue-detail activity/cost/interaction surfaces and leaf
work pause/resume controls.
- Cleaned bundled adapter UI config defaults and onboarding copy.
- Added terminal-bench loop and work-stoppage diagnosis skills plus a
smoke test script.
- Updated attachment type handling and Paperclip skill/API guidance.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/Agents.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Routines.test.tsx ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/costs-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts`
- Result: 7 test files passed, 54 tests passed.
- `pnpm run smoke:terminal-bench-loop-skill`
- Result: JSON output included `"ok": true` and `"cleanup": true`.
- UI screenshots not included because verification is focused
component/page coverage for the changed board surfaces.
## Risks
- This is the integration-heavy PR in the split and intentionally
overlaps some component/API primitives with the issue-thread and
workflow PRs so it can run from `origin/master`.
- Preferred merge order: #4859, #4860, #4861, #4862, then this PR last.
If earlier branches merge first, this PR may need a straightforward
conflict refresh in shared UI files.
- The terminal-bench smoke script creates temporary mock issues and
relies on cleanup; the verified run returned `cleanup: true`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Operators supervise that work through issues, comments, approvals,
and the board UI.
> - Some agent proposals need structured board/user decisions, not
hidden markdown conventions or heavyweight governed approvals.
> - Issue-thread interactions already provide a natural thread-native
surface for proposed tasks and questions.
> - This pull request extends that surface with request confirmations,
richer interaction cards, and agent/plugin/MCP helpers.
> - The benefit is that plan approvals and yes/no decisions become
explicit, auditable, and resumable without losing the single-issue
workflow.
## What Changed
- Added persisted issue-thread interactions for suggested tasks,
structured questions, and request confirmations.
- Added board UI cards for interaction review, selection, question
answers, and accept/reject confirmation flows.
- Added MCP and plugin SDK helpers for creating interaction cards from
agents/plugins.
- Updated agent wake instructions, onboarding assets, Paperclip skill
docs, and public docs to prefer structured confirmations for
issue-scoped decisions.
- Rebased the branch onto `public-gh/master` and renumbered branch
migrations to `0063` and `0064`; the idempotency migration uses `ADD
COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` for old branch users.
## Verification
- `git diff --check public-gh/master..HEAD`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/mcp-server/src/tools.test.ts
packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts

server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts
server/src/services/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts` -> 9 files / 79
tests passed
- `pnpm -r typecheck` -> passed, including `packages/db` migration
numbering check
## Risks
- Medium: this adds a new issue-thread interaction model across
db/shared/server/ui/plugin surfaces.
- Migration risk is reduced by placing this branch after current master
migrations (`0063`, `0064`) and making the idempotency column add
idempotent for users who applied the old branch numbering.
- UI interaction behavior is covered by component tests, but this PR
does not include browser screenshots.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents through issue checkout, heartbeat
runs, routines, and auditable control-plane state
> - The runtime path has to recover from lost local processes, transient
adapter failures, blocked dependencies, and routine coalescing without
stranding work
> - The existing branch carried several reliability fixes across
heartbeat scheduling, issue runtime controls, routine dispatch, and
operator-facing run state
> - These changes belong together because they share backend contracts,
migrations, and runtime status semantics
> - This pull request groups the control-plane/runtime slice so it can
merge independently from board UI polish and adapter sandbox work
> - The benefit is safer heartbeat recovery, clearer runtime controls,
and more predictable recurring execution behavior
## What Changed
- Adds bounded heartbeat retry scheduling, scheduled retry state, and
Codex transient failure recovery handling.
- Tightens heartbeat process recovery, blocker wake behavior, issue
comment wake handling, routine dispatch coalescing, and
activity/dashboard bounds.
- Adds runtime-control MCP tools and Paperclip skill docs for issue
workspace runtime management.
- Adds migrations `0061_lively_thor_girl.sql` and
`0062_routine_run_dispatch_fingerprint.sql`.
- Surfaces retry state in run ledger/agent UI and keeps related shared
types synchronized.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/tools.test.ts` from `packages/mcp-server`
## Risks
- Medium risk: this touches heartbeat recovery and routine dispatch,
which are central execution paths.
- Migration order matters if split branches land out of order: merge
this PR before branches that assume the new runtime/routine fields.
- Runtime retry behavior should be watched in CI and in local operator
smoke tests because it changes how transient failures are resumed.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent runtime, shell/git tool use
enabled. Exact hosted model build and context window are not exposed in

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents coordinate work through tasks and comments, and @-mentions
are part of the wakeup path for cross-agent handoffs and review requests
> - The current repo skill still instructs machine-authored comments to
use raw `@AgentName` text as the default mention format
> - But the current backend mention parsing is still unreliable for
multi-word display names, so agents following that guidance can silently
fail to wake the intended target
> - This pull request updates the Paperclip skill and API reference to
prefer structured `agent://` markdown mentions for machine-authored
comments
> - The benefit is a low-risk documentation workaround that steers
agents onto the mention format the server already resolves reliably
while broader runtime fixes are reviewed upstream
## What Changed
- Updated `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md` to stop recommending raw
`@AgentName` mentions for machine-authored comments
- Updated `skills/paperclip/references/api-reference.md` with a concrete
workflow: resolve the target via `GET
/api/companies/{companyId}/agents`, then emit `[@Display
Name](agent://<agent-id>)`
- Added explicit guidance that raw `@AgentName` text is fallback-only
and unreliable for names containing spaces
- Cross-referenced the current upstream mention-bug context so reviewers
can connect this docs workaround to the open parser/runtime fixes
Related issue/PR refs: #448, #459, #558, #669, #722, #1412, #2249
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` currently fails on upstream `master` in existing tests
unrelated to this docs-only change:
- `src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts` — `seeds authenticated users into
minimally cloned worktree instances` timed out after 20000ms
- `src/__tests__/onboard.test.ts` — `keeps tailnet quickstart on
loopback until tailscale is available` expected `127.0.0.1` but got
`100.125.202.3`
- Confirmed the git diff is limited to:
- `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`
- `skills/paperclip/references/api-reference.md`
## Risks
- Low risk. This is a docs/skill-only change and does not alter runtime
behavior.
- It is a mitigation, not a full fix: it helps agent-authored comments
that follow the Paperclip skill, but it does not fix manually typed raw
mentions or other code paths that still emit plain `@Name` text.
- If upstream chooses a different long-term mention format, this
guidance may need to be revised once the runtime-side fix lands.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex desktop agent on a GPT-5-class model. Exact deployed
model ID and context window are not exposed by the local harness. Tool
use enabled, including shell execution, git, and GitHub CLI.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Reliable execution depends on heartbeat routing, issue lifecycle
semantics, telemetry, and a fast enough local verification loop to keep
regressions visible
> - The remaining commits on this branch were mostly server/runtime
correctness fixes plus test and documentation follow-ups in that area
> - Those changes are logically separate from the UI-focused
issue-detail and workspace/navigation branches even when they touch
overlapping issue APIs
> - This pull request groups the execution reliability, heartbeat,
telemetry, and tooling changes into one standalone branch
> - The benefit is a focused review of the control-plane correctness
work, including the follow-up fix that restored the implicit
comment-reopen helpers after branch splitting
## What Changed
- Hardened issue/heartbeat execution behavior, including self-review
stage skipping, deferred mention wakes during active execution, stranded
execution recovery, active-run scoping, assignee resolution, and
blocked-to-todo wake resumption
- Reduced noisy polling/logging overhead by trimming issue run payloads,
compacting persisted run logs, silencing high-volume request logs, and
capping heartbeat-run queries in dashboard/inbox surfaces
- Expanded telemetry and status semantics with adapter/model fields on
task completion plus clearer status guidance in docs/onboarding material
- Updated test infrastructure and verification defaults with faster
route-test module isolation, cheaper default `pnpm test`, e2e isolation
from local state, and repo verification follow-ups
- Included docs/release housekeeping from the branch and added a small
follow-up commit restoring the implicit comment-reopen helpers that were
dropped during branch reconstruction
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-telemetry-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/http-log-policy.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-log.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts`
- `server/src/__tests__/activity-service.test.ts`,
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts`, and
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` were attempted
on this host but the embedded Postgres harness reported
init-script/data-dir problems and skipped or failed to start, so they
are noted as environment-limited
## Risks
- Medium: this branch changes core issue/heartbeat routing and
reopen/wakeup behavior, so regressions would affect agent execution flow
rather than isolated UI polish
- Because it also updates verification infrastructure, reviewers should
pay attention to whether the new tests are asserting the right failure
modes and not just reshaping harness behavior
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent (GPT-5-class runtime in Codex CLI; exact
deployed model ID is not exposed in this environment), reasoning
enabled, tool use and local code execution enabled

Add explicit Paperclip skill guidance for reviewer/approver heartbeats and document that execution-policy decisions use PATCH /api/issues/:issueId rather than a separate endpoint.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Document blockedByIssueIds field, issue_blockers_resolved and
issue_children_completed wake reasons, and blockedBy/blocks response
arrays in both SKILL.md and api-reference.md so agents know how to
set and use first-class issue dependencies.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Greptile flagged that worked examples in task-workflow.md and
api-reference.md still used ["todo"] instead of the full
expectedStatuses array. Aligned them with the rest of the PR.

- Add updateCompanyBrandingSchema restricting agent-updatable fields to name,
description, brandColor, and logoAssetId
- Update PATCH /api/companies/:companyId to allow CEO agents with branding-only
fields while keeping admin fields (status, budget, etc.) board-only
- Allow agents to GET /api/companies/:companyId for reading company info
- issuePrefix (company slug) remains protected — not in any update schema
- Document branding APIs in SKILL.md quick reference and api-reference.md
