b06ea111a2 fix(server): schedule skill cache retention from changes and saved deadlines (#17923)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/83/changes/paperclip/83
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server caches saved skill versions on disk so runs can restore
their exact instructions.
> - The old retention owner scans company rows every hour, even after
all caches are protected or removed.
> - Cache publication, version changes, and pin release already have
local or transaction-owned boundaries.
> - Grace windows and terminal controller leases already have saved
timestamps.
> - This pull request uses those changes and deadlines to drive the
existing bounded prune service.
> - Idle retention stops SQL and directory reads while pending cleanup
remains recoverable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Stack slice 64. Parent: #17876 (`codex/sleep-63-agent-timer-deadlines`).
Related: #15625 establishes transaction-owned work signals. #17907
independently keeps an active cache-lock transaction alive; this PR
preserves that lock and does not duplicate that repair.

**What happened?**

At parent `31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`, skill-version
retention has an hourly company scan, a startup timeout, and separate
continuation timers. Empty or permanently protected caches still cause
recurring SQL.

**Expected behavior**

Reconstruct once, inspect changed companies, and schedule saved
access/staging grace or terminal controller deadlines. Stop recurring
work when no timed or uncertain obligation remains. Keep
current/newest/agent/run protection, restorable-byte validation, cache
locking, final pin revalidation, atomic rename, and trash recovery.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start an enabled server with no cached versions, or only current/pinned
versions. After the initial scan, advance an hour. The old interval
selects companies again. The new worker has no deadline and performs no
retention SQL or directory scan in that state.

## What Changed

- Signal the missing-local-source reconciliation deletion in its
transaction. Limit fresh scans of a successfully observed company to one
per thirty seconds. Keep one-second page continuations and actual saved
deadlines independent. Empty or uncertain passes do not delay first
publication.
- Restart a company scan if drain interrupts inspection or post-rename
trash cleanup. Restore bounded candidate/byte logging with dry-run mode.
Three controlled cases failed before repair and the complete 34-case
retention suite passes afterward.
- Register retention through the delivery coordinator and shared
scheduler. Remove the hourly, startup, and continuation timers from
`index.ts`. Track startup work without delaying readiness. Stop delivery
work before closing retained iterators.
- Keep one active company cursor and bounded 50-entry passes. Preserve
observed deadlines across pages and bound company discovery to 51 rows
per page. Retain concrete company failures and incomplete pins for
retry.
- Report saved grace and terminal controller deadlines from the existing
cache owner. PostgreSQL remains the controller-lease authority.
Current/newest/agent pins do not arm unrelated lease checks.
- Wake on cache publication, rejected materialization, and access
markers. Signal version creation/deletion and agent configuration/hire
changes in their owning transactions. Extend existing instruction,
finalization/environment, and retained-session fanouts with company
hints.
- Route reused provider-task prior-owner retirement through
`writeEnvironmentCleanup`, so that supported pin-release write also
settles a notification.
- Add an optional scope callback to `registerDeadlineWork`. Existing
consumers omit it and keep their behavior. The feature owns persistence
predicates; startup only registers it. Add no table or migration.

Full producer audit, shared-contract explanation, lifecycle evidence,
and limitations:
[`doc/plans/2026-10-27-skill-version-retention-sleep-audit.md`](doc/plans/2026-10-27-skill-version-retention-sleep-audit.md).

## Verification

- Reconciled all existing sleep changes with actual master
`7e27bc5007c8f9cb8cdce06c24f9813e27f7120f` through normal merges. All 24
retention-owned and 95 unrelated upstream paths are preserved; package,
UI, E2E and map trees equal master.
- Combined-source qualification: **1,009 TypeScript cases across 42
complete files**, plus **28 Rust cases** in two targets. One intentional
Linux-inotify-only adapter case is skipped on this macOS host. Coverage
includes actual retention/cache/producer/runtime behavior, startup,
shared deadline consumers, changed OpenCode/observability and native
execution boundaries.
- After the subsequent task-index/task-read upstream merges, **85 cases
across six complete files** passed on final source
`d9277b1858a2230bdb726974c90a0c9bc5c5ebe6`: real retention/cache/work,
task reads/query behavior and concurrent migration repair. Counts
overlap earlier coverage. Fresh PostgreSQL 17 schemas apply all 413
journal entries through index 414.
- Database/adapter/Runner builds, production server and Runner
typechecking, module boundaries, target migration order and generated
TypeScript/Rust release-profile consistency pass. Selected source hashes
and temporary fixture imports restore exactly.
- Reproduced and repaired Greptile's own-company due-cleanup P2 with
identical old-worker-failing/new-worker-passing assertions. The
30-second ordinary scan floor remains; already-due cleanup receives its
owed scan and disarms afterward. Earlier 799-case and fresh-blank-plugin
acceptance remain in the audit.
- **Inherited validation exception:** the separate Copilot
source-identity check fails after upstream OpenCode reserved-environment
changes; all 72 identity inputs equal current master. No provider
release attestation is regenerated or new live qualification claimed
here. Required exact-head CI/security and Greptile 5/5 still must pass.
- Historical results, repair details and limitations remain in [the
retention
audit](doc/plans/2026-10-27-skill-version-retention-sleep-audit.md). No
full local repository-suite, live provider, production-load,
external-alarm, measured suspend/wake or fleet-savings claim.

- CI on the prior published head found four connection-review assertions
racing the concealed conversation after reload. Its fresh
Greptile/Ponytail reviews were both 5/5, but the failing browser gate
was not waived or retried unchanged. The fixture now foregrounds the
task tab and waits for visible history before retaining all existing
saved-result assertions. The full file passes four journeys locally; the
controlled-restart case is intentionally skipped by the default
configuration. Original local journeys also passed unchanged, so no
deterministic local red reproduction is claimed. See the audit for CI
failure artifacts and scope. Runtime and prior sleep-test sources remain
unchanged.

## Risks

- Supported live writers are the existing service/API owners in one
process. Independent SQL/FS writers need an ingress contract. Startup
reconstruction covers restarts.
- Notifications cause a bounded inspection; they do not authorize
deletion. Durable pin predicates and the cache lock remain
authoritative.
- A database clock behind application time can require another
one-second check of the concrete expired controller lease. Unknown pins,
lock contention, and failed inspection retain retries until resolved.
- The in-process scheduler cannot wake stopped compute. This PR
preserves Cloud sleep-safety gates and external-alarm coverage. It does
not prove deployed suspension or fleet savings. Cache reclamation can
wait until a supported wake when compute is stopped.
- Native-harness backup retention and the other remaining duties are
separate stack slices.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection,
normal Git merges, composition proofs, a controlled red/green regression
and complete PostgreSQL/filesystem integration suites. No subagents were
used in this reconciliation.

ba07f85cad perf: schedule agent timers from durable deadlines (#17876)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/58/changes/paperclip/58
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent timers must start due work and preserve queue admission rules.
> - The server woke their scan on every heartbeat interval, even with no
eligible timer.
> - Idle scans keep the database and instance active.
> - This pull request derives the next deadline from saved policy and
work records.
> - Supported producer transactions notify the shared coordinator when
eligibility changes.
> - An idle timer worker stops scanning and resumes when real work or a
deadline requires it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17863. This is slice 63 of the recurring-work migration and
follows the merged issue-monitor deadline PR.

Related: #16632 changes timer issue scope; #16881 changes live-run
eligibility. This PR preserves the current admission policy. Those
policy changes are separate work. A future time-sensitive predicate must
expose its next transition deadline.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Agent timer heartbeat scheduling in the server.

**Current behavior**

A recurring heartbeat wakes the timer scan even when companies are
paused, timers are disabled, or no actionable task exists.

**Proposed behavior**

Register the earliest eligible interval or positive daily-cap reset
deadline. Re-read on supported producer commits and startup. Leave no
recurring database scan when no timer obligation remains.

## What Changed

- Keep policy and deadline calculation in the heartbeat queue.
Scheduling retains company, reporting-chain, worktree, and CAS gates.
- Use the existing deadline coordinator. Remove only the timer wake from
the server heartbeat loop.
- Notify before existing transaction writes that change eligibility or
deadlines. Cover configuration, lifecycle, company budgets, task
ownership, recovery, conversations, accounting corrections, and
completion.
- Use the lifecycle status-change hook for saved hire rejection. Cover
checkout's second adoption transaction after an initial failed CAS.
- Preserve pending work through idle and maintenance drains. Check
cancellation between due agents. Reconstruct on restart.
- Document the supported writer model and producer inventory. Add no
schema, table, or provider branch.

## Verification

- **1,710 passing cases across 49 complete files**, no skips, on
accepted source `32db86c1974dcbf794f01a8c5e42024e2ad071fc`. Coverage
includes real timer policy/CAS/producers, monitor and shared deadline
consumers, native reconstruction, Slack lifecycle,
skills/settings/configuration, queue isolation and agent lifecycle.
- Database build, production server typechecking/build, module
boundaries, target migration order and Runner profile identity pass.
Twenty-nine fresh PostgreSQL 17 schemas plus per-file fixtures applied
all 412 journal entries through index 413; all selected source hashes
and temporary fixture imports were restored exactly.
- Four new deadline composition cases verify future/overdue timing,
minimum scan spacing and disarming. A controlled mutation dropping only
the inherited continuation option fails; the composed source passes with
identical assertions and timers.
- Normal parent reconciliation preserves task-drain expiry and both
deadline contracts. The final monitor-parent publication changes only
its audit, preserving every qualified runtime and selected test source.
- Historical failures and review corrections remain in [the timer
audit](doc/idle-agent-timers.md). No full local repository-suite, live
provider, measured suspend/wake, external-alarm or fleet-savings claim.
Final-head CI/security, exact-head Greptile 5/5 and actionable Ponytail
findings remain separate merge gates.

## Risks

- Process-local notifications cover supported service/API writers in one
server process. Direct SQL and independent replicas need an explicit
ingress contract. Startup reconstruction is not live cross-process
notification.
- Notifications can batch for up to the configured heartbeat interval.
Known deadlines retain their scheduler path; failed reconciliation
retains bounded retry.
- Enabled timers without an actionable-work requirement remain real
recurring obligations. Zero caps require policy changes; positive
reached caps use UTC midnight.
- The timer fixture substitutes adapter enqueue. Existing admission
tests also pass, but this is not deployed provider or sleep
qualification.
- Cloud does not gain legacy agent timer alarms in this PR. Existing
sleep-safety blockers remain. No database/host suspension or fleet
savings claim is made.
- Parent-stack CI and review must pass before merge. This PR does not
authorize merging its dependencies.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6-based coding agent), using repository inspection,
normal Git merges, composition proofs, a controlled red/green regression
and complete PostgreSQL integration suites. No subagents were used in
this reconciliation.

c8b7afee06 fix(server): schedule native environment lease settlement (#17801)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/24/changes/paperclip/24
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the resources used by their work.
> - Native run completion has several independent settlement duties.
> - The recurring run reaper repeated environment-release discovery for
completed native history.
> - Existing lease rows already record releases that still need work.
> - This pull request wakes the existing release owners from committed
changes and schedules only unfinished release debt.
> - Completed history becomes quiet while stop evidence, workspace
preservation, and retention policy keep their existing owners.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17793, #17717.

**What problem does this solve?**

Periodic native finalization replay calls environment release even when
no lease needs work. This adds recurring database traffic to an idle
instance.

**What is the proposed solution?**

Register one scoped worker on the existing delivery coordinator.
Discover work from native finalizations and existing environment leases.
Wake it from native, lease, and settings transactions. Keep the release
owner's saved pending-cleanup deadlines. Keep retries only while a
concrete lease still needs settlement.

**What alternatives have you considered?**

A slower unconditional scan still queries idle history. A new job table
duplicates existing lease truth. Replacing the compound callback would
also change runtime-service and agent-status duties; those remain
separate slices.

This is slice 58. Parent #17793 has merged. This publication targets
master and preserves that landed prerequisite. Fresh current-head checks
and review remain required.

## What Changed

- Keep ordinary company-only finalization hints out of environment
settlement. Prove zero candidate SQL after quiet and preserve real lease
delivery.

- Reuse the existing durable destroy claim for run-owned cleanup,
excluding concurrent attempts and fencing late receipts while preserving
cleanup recovery.

- Scope lease cleanup notifications to their company/run so settlement
does not rediscover the entire backlog after each release.

- Read only `nativeWorkspaceSync` and `workspaceExportRetry` JSON fields
when discovering environment cleanup. Preserve saved run data and
existing release decisions.

- Reuse the environment runtime's release predicate for discovery. Add
no table or independent timer.
- Wake from existing finalization, projection, lifecycle, recovery,
lease, and settings transaction boundaries. Simple lease acquisition now
uses a transaction too.
- Preserve recorded retention policy, pending-cleanup deadlines,
original lease/provider ownership, and current release guards.
- Re-read durable lease state after a release. A logged or swallowed
per-lease failure does not discharge the obligation.
- Delegate only periodic environment release. Preserve default
live/manual behavior, runtime-service release, and agent-status
callbacks.
- Add an owner/producer/lifecycle audit and real database tests.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `9596fa022b57feea026c4728c80bdc36037b804f`.
Publication head: `fb252c8b0e52ce355e7d98db2e392e4831f99c61`. The actual
parent squash is adopted by a normal merge with the complete accepted
child tree unchanged. Only audit text follows.

- **4,172 distinct cases in 64 complete server files pass**, plus **20
selected chat cases** (4,192 selected total). The main batch reports
3,440 passes and 49 skips. Both complete Stop/read files then pass 51 +
6 cases on separate fresh databases through their supported override.
Their eight pure cases are counted once; skipped cases are never counted
as passes. Separate process recovery passes 410; review response passes
273. The other 1,794 chat cases were not run locally.
- **Quiet producer proof:** the controlled unscoped baseline fails with
three candidate SELECTs after three routine company-only hints. The
scoped case performs zero, releases a real eligible committed-run lease,
and returns to quiet. The same test hash spans red and green.
- **Static gates pass:** database build; server typecheck/build; module
boundaries; migration order; current Copilot profile identity. Packages
equal the accepted parent byte for byte.
- **Fresh fixtures:** 39 prepared PostgreSQL 17 databases plus fresh
helper-owned databases. The schema has all 412 journal entries through
index/tag 0413_tired_kronos. All 65 original test hashes restore
exactly; the indirect Stop fixture is also hashed. No assertion or
timeout changes.
- **Preserved records:** original 49 skips and their completed coverage
remain documented. Parent handoff timeout and prior chat-idle failure
records remain in their owning audits. This does not claim full
repository, full chat, live provider, or deployed sleep acceptance.
- [Current integration and native lease
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/fb252c8b0e52ce355e7d98db2e392e4831f99c61/doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-environment-settlement-sleep.md#current-master-integration-and-native-lease-quiet-proof-2026-10-29).
Fresh CI, security, and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge.

<details><summary>Earlier revision verification and failure
history</summary>

Receiver failure fairness: a controlled 1,100 ms batch reproduced a
30-second delay for healthy due receivers. The worker now supplies its
existing per-item deadline through `nextRunAtOnError`. All 20 receiver
lifecycle tests pass on the owner and combined tip
`31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`; server production
typechecking passes on the owner. The failed receiver retains its own
backoff, and settled receivers return to zero recurring SQL. The
five-second assertion budget is unchanged. See [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/6f3a0b8de149fb5620f15909473eb7c4455b9824/doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-receiver-discovery-sleep-audit.md#healthy-receiver-progress-after-a-slow-failed-batch).
Current-head CI and review remain required.

Approved delegated Test-tab calls now evaluate caller and target
policies in the existing claim transaction. Real HTTP regressions first
showed a missing caller charge and shared-limit self-rejection. All 78
connection-management cases and 92 gateway cases now pass on the owning
branch, along with server production typechecking. All 78
connection-management cases also pass at combined tip
`d25f830db89c1623bff3547bfc68015c1c66e0cf`. The three new cases cover
shared charges, separate charges, rollback on denial, duplicate
approval, and rejection of a later authorized call. Intermediate
counter/identity fixture failures and a reused-database Slack collision
are recorded in [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/ae9bff1c06e34702f64a399e58b45a657c133bd1/doc/idle-approved-tool-recovery.md#delegated-test-tab-admission-after-policy-changes).
The earlier combined checks below remain evidence for their stated
revisions. Current-head CI and review remain required.

Inherited voice-cleanup verification: the controlled slow-provider
regression and all 13 lifecycle tests passed on its owner and combined
tip `ab22d8ed0c09028315607414b83b375e5cc0a60a`. That repair changed only
the fixture clock advancement and its audit note.

Current head: `6f3a0b8de149fb5620f15909473eb7c4455b9824`. This remains a
single-duty PR stacked on #17793.

- Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5`
with normal merges. Every branch passed generated-schema checks and its
target-branch migration-order gate. Existing SQL is unchanged; the 25
stack migrations follow master’s new migration.
- Duty-specific producer coverage, lifecycle tests, and earlier failure
records:
[2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/7e619453567e078a7d745f28bfe8e5ede571f282/doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md),
[2026-10-26-native-environment-settlement-sleep.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/7e619453567e078a7d745f28bfe8e5ede571f282/doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-environment-settlement-sleep.md).
- Combined tip `51e6cbe67979b55b340ea9f0f434c5b5c682ccd6`: **355
startup/cancellation/recovery/dispatch/preservation tests**, **75
connection-management tests**, and production server typechecking pass.
These combined checks do not mean every intermediate PR independently
ran the full repository suite.
- Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior
migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway
responsibility fixture preserved.
- Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus
runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253
GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness
regressions failed before their fixes.
- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local
passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite,
deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.


</details>

## Risks

- Existing lease owners retain destruction claims, provider identity,
stop evidence, retention policy, and pending-cleanup deadlines.
Incorrect changes here can release a live resource or lose a cleanup
obligation.
- Logged or swallowed release failures remain concrete debt. Real
retries must retain their saved floor across unrelated hints.
- In-process signals do not cover independent SQL or other replicas
without ingress.
- This delegates only periodic environment settlement. Runtime-service
and agent-status duties remain separate. Existing Cloud blockers remain;
no deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm coverage, or cost
savings is claimed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, real
PostgreSQL tests, and GitHub tools. The exact runtime model identifier
and context-window size are not exposed in this session.

829f9e7eaf fix(server): settle Muse terminal assignments from committed changes (#17793)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/12/changes/paperclip/12
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its external-agent module owns Muse assignments, operation receipts,
and worker holds.
> - Running assignments and retained terminal history must not cause an
empty maintenance scan every five seconds.
> - Terminal run changes and operation results already have durable
database transactions.
> - This pull request wakes the existing maintenance worker from those
commits and reconstructs work at startup.
> - The worker retries only concrete settlement debt. It retains
qualification deadlines and authority checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17772. This is slice 57. Parent #17772 has merged.
Related: #17000, #17525, #17752, #17758. The publication targets master
and preserves the merged parent.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Muse terminal assignment settlement and the existing Muse maintenance
worker.

**Current behavior**

A running assignment can keep maintenance scanning every five seconds.
Terminal reconciliation rewrites unchanged history. Native finalization
also calls that reconciliation during periodic replay. Discovery
excludes a revoked original binding even when its assignment still needs
settlement.

**Proposed behavior**

Committed run changes and operation receipts wake the existing worker
with the original company, run or binding identity. Startup reconstructs
actionable work from existing rows. Maintenance processes bounded
batches and disarms after settlement. Default live and manual callbacks
remain. The periodic callback delegates this one duty.

**Reason and benefit**

Configured but idle instances stop querying for this obligation. Late
receipts, restarts, drain and historical bindings still have recovery
paths. No table or independent timer is added.

**Breaking changes**

No schema, endpoint or provider protocol changes. Explicit manual
reconciliation retains its unbounded default. This does not alter Cloud
sleep admission or claim that all instance work can sleep.

## What Changed

- Add an owner predicate shared by discovery and locked settlement.
Fenced private-worker uncertainty remains held without an automatic
retry loop.
- Preserve original binding generation and company/agent/run identity,
including revoked bindings. Fence only the terminal assignment during
reconciliation.
- Extend existing maintenance with scoped hints, bounded batches,
concrete-debt retry, startup reconstruction and quiet drain behavior.
- Register notifications inside existing terminal, projection,
cancellation, operation-result and send-failure transactions. Keep
qualification and OAuth signals explicitly global when coalesced with
scoped changes.
- Serialize only four domain IDs. Real native-finalizer tests caught and
prevent a circular-object serialization failure at this boundary.
- Use existing restore/worktree suppression and settings reactivation.
Delegate both periodic finalizer branches while retaining resource
callbacks and default live/manual settlement.
- Add the producer audit and regression evidence in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-muse-terminal-settlement-sleep.md`.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `584015018ed4a9d57d2b0f192b75847503b54e53`.
Publication head: `305014b030d6c5eb891c70bc57036f4192d4fdad`. Normal
adoption of the actual parent squash preserves the complete accepted
child tree. Only audit text, a migration-count clarification, and the
proved Photon test extension follow.

- **3,715 distinct cases in 52 complete server files pass**, plus **20
selected chat cases** (3,735 selected total). The main 49-file batch
passes 3,008; process recovery passes 410; review response passes 273;
the full Photon file passes 24. The other 1,794 chat cases were not run
locally.
- **Quiet producer proof:** moving only the Muse fanout outside its
parent guard produces six candidate SELECTs and fails the regression.
Keeping the guard yields zero and still settles a real terminal run. The
same test hash spans the controlled red/green pair.
- **Photon review evidence:** repeated active callbacks produce zero
settlement hints/candidate SQL. Three concurrent attention recoveries
produce exactly one of each. The existing locked attention guard was
correct; production needed no fix. The parent security check accepted
the resolved finding before merge. This PR keeps the additional
settlement queue in the existing regression.
- **Static checks pass:** database build; server typecheck/build; module
boundaries; migration order; current Copilot identity. Packages equal
the accepted parent byte for byte. No new live provider qualification is
claimed.
- **Fixtures and failures:** 34 fresh PostgreSQL 17 fixtures have 412
applied migration receipts through tag 0413_tired_kronos, plus fresh
per-call helper fixtures. All 52 original test hashes restore exactly.
The additional Photon test hash matches its passing proof. Earlier
remote chat passive-idle failure remains recorded; both passive/missing
cases pass in the new selection. Parent handoff timeout/fresh-file-pass
accounting remains in its audit. No assertion or timeout was weakened.

Fresh CI, security, and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge.

<details><summary>Earlier revision verification and failure
history</summary>

Receiver failure fairness: a controlled 1,100 ms batch reproduced a
30-second delay for healthy due receivers. The worker now supplies its
existing per-item deadline through `nextRunAtOnError`. All 20 receiver
lifecycle tests pass on the owner and combined tip
`31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`; server production
typechecking passes on the owner. The failed receiver retains its own
backoff, and settled receivers return to zero recurring SQL. The
five-second assertion budget is unchanged. See [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/f7477933469fdc960f555425dce66eff25a94e54/doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-receiver-discovery-sleep-audit.md#healthy-receiver-progress-after-a-slow-failed-batch).
Current-head CI and review remain required.

Approved delegated Test-tab calls now evaluate caller and target
policies in the existing claim transaction. Real HTTP regressions first
showed a missing caller charge and shared-limit self-rejection. All 78
connection-management cases and 92 gateway cases now pass on the owning
branch, along with server production typechecking. All 78
connection-management cases also pass at combined tip
`d25f830db89c1623bff3547bfc68015c1c66e0cf`. The three new cases cover
shared charges, separate charges, rollback on denial, duplicate
approval, and rejection of a later authorized call. Intermediate
counter/identity fixture failures and a reused-database Slack collision
are recorded in [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/bbd31dea5ef3a4875950a87b4636af8b6bde858e/doc/idle-approved-tool-recovery.md#delegated-test-tab-admission-after-policy-changes).
The earlier combined checks below remain evidence for their stated

the fixture clock advancement and its audit note.

Current head: `f7477933469fdc960f555425dce66eff25a94e54`. This remains a
single-duty PR stacked on #17772.

- Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5`

- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local

deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.


</details>

## Risks

- In-process signals do not capture independent SQL or other replicas.
Supported external events still need ingress.
- Pending assignments and operation receipts retain their original
binding identity. A new agent configuration cannot take their ownership.
- Genuine qualification, OAuth, and recovery deadlines remain
obligations. They must not be discarded merely to make the worker quiet.
- The parent coarse-hint guard prevents recurring Muse discovery; real
company/binding authority changes retain their signals.
- No full local repository suite, full chat suite, live Muse or Copilot
qualification, deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm
coverage, or cost savings is claimed. Existing Cloud blockers remain.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, real
PostgreSQL tests, and GitHub tools. The exact runtime model identifier

4d0847c4ca fix(server): settle external conversations from committed work (#17772)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/6/changes/paperclip/6
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the tasks that they execute.
> - External conversations must become idle after an authorized response
is published and all related work is complete.
> - Native replay and stranded-task recovery still discover this
settlement work through recurring scans.
> - A new deadline worker must preserve response ordering, monitor
handoffs, and unfinished work.
> - This pull request gives settlement one shared readiness predicate
and activates its worker from committed changes.
> - Existing rows provide recovery truth. No new table or per-feature
timer is added.
> - The benefit is a settlement worker that becomes quiet and resumes
when relevant work changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17758. This is slice 56. Slice 55 has merged. Related: #17606
(chat milestones), #17663 (bounded run reads), #17665 (monitor proof),
and #13809 (answered Slack conversation lifecycle). The provider
applicability remains Slack and Speko-owned conversations. This does not
extend Telegram settlement from #16559.

**What happened?**

Conversation settlement depended on periodic native replay and generic
task recovery. An exhausted monitor also cleared its schedule before
recovery admission. During that gap, an answered conversation could look
finished. Failed or deferred admission lost the monitor schedule.

**Expected behavior**

Relevant committed changes activate settlement. The worker uses the
owning service's evidence and becomes quiet when no settlement is owed.
Monitor recovery stays pending until admission, and restart does not
admit an already accepted recovery twice.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an active external conversation with a successful run and an
authorized published response.
2. Keep execution, approval, a goal, or a monitor pending. Let the
settlement worker become quiet.
3. Resolve that prerequisite through its owning service. Verify that the
conversation settles without another periodic sweep.
4. Delay or fail exhausted-monitor recovery admission. Verify that the
monitor remains pending and the conversation cannot settle during the
handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Accepted production source: `50f4432ed88537b8d522cf1dce24c33588db0bac`.
Parent #17758 merged as `8ac5a128e66fb672e88106412f76cf278599bfc4`. The
publication adopts that actual squash through a normal merge with an
unchanged complete child tree.

## What Changed

- Preserve quiet after coarse company-only maintenance hints. The shared
inbound-notice and response-availability helpers keep settlement enabled
by default. Only the milestone dispatcher suppresses their duplicate
settlement fanout. Its scoped issue-review signal and the explicit
company-authority signal still wake real work. Four database cases prove
both quiet and real company-wide producer delivery.
- Preserve source-generation checks for chat handoff,
task-before-comment locking, issue-scoped decision invalidation, and
current conversation event columns from master.
- Track initial external conversation settlement through shutdown
without blocking HTTP readiness on endpoint or task locks.

- Reuse the real queue's coalesced recovery receipt after restart,
without admitting the same monitor recovery again.

- Share the existing conversation readiness predicate between bounded
discovery and locked settlement. Preserve current provider policy,
run/publication proof, company boundaries, and endpoint-to-issue lock
order.
- Register a scoped deadline worker through the delivery coordinator.
Preserve startup, restore/worktree suppression, drain/resume, failure
recovery, and joined shutdown.
- Extend existing review, milestone, wake-notice, and finalization
signals. Add notifications at independent issue, comment, goal, session,
and wake-receipt unblocks.
- Keep monitor owner recovery pending until guarded admission. Reuse an
accepted receipt for the same monitor schedule after restart, even when
its limit reason changes; retain compatibility with legacy receipt keys.
Commit board escalation and its monitor clear together.
- Delegate periodic native settlement while preserving resource
callbacks. Keep direct/manual defaults and preserve generic recovery
ordering with a read-only readiness guard.
- Add the producer and lifecycle audit in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md` and
update the stack ledger.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `50f4432ed88537b8d522cf1dce24c33588db0bac`.
Publication head: `b256bb52647affd9f5279ea8c40f48bbe40f031f`.
The complete accepted child tree stays unchanged when adopting merged
parent #17758. This publication adds only the audit document.

- **3,129 distinct cases in 37 complete server files pass**, plus **18
selected chat-response cases** (3,147 selected cases). The other 1,796
chat cases were not run locally. Full settlement, queue, scheduling,
run-state, goals, interactions, task Retry, decision targets, status
reassessment, workspace, process recovery, and review consumers are
covered.
- **Preserved failure:** the first 35-file command passed 2,445 cases
and timed out one restored-work handoff at its existing 15-second limit.
That aggregate command failed. The unchanged full 89-case actions file
then passed on a fresh fixture; the affected case took 22 ms. Root cause
was not established. No timeout or assertion changed. The 34 other files
passed originally. Distinct counts exclude duplicate actions passes.
Fresh CI remains a separate gate.
- **Indirect wake regression:** the original unconditional baseline
failed two quiet checks. Guards alone left the chat case failing with
three candidate queries. The final controlled indirect baseline fails
one of four cases; the repair passes all four with the same test hash.
Positive controls preserve real company-only producers.
- **Source and fixture controls:** all 38 selected test files restore to
their exact committed hashes after fixture imports. Fresh PostgreSQL 17
fixtures use 413 migrations. All five manual merge resolutions preserve
current authority, locking, and event-column contracts.
- **Static checks pass:** database build; server typecheck and build;
module boundaries; migration order; Copilot profile identity. Runner
packages equal the accepted parent byte for byte. No new Runner/package
qualification is claimed.
- [Current integration and wake
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/b256bb52647affd9f5279ea8c40f48bbe40f031f/doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md#current-master-integration-and-indirect-wake-audit-2026-10-29).
Latest-head CI and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge.

## Risks

- Signals cover supported in-process writers. They do not supply change
capture for independent SQL or other replicas.
- Real company-wide changes can inspect active candidates. Coarse
maintenance hints do not activate settlement. Configured idle and
retained history must remain quiet.
- Monitor receipt binding and admission order must preserve company,
agent, issue, and exact schedule identity. Current parent handoff locks
and source-generation checks remain intact.
- The local restored-work timeout is retained above. A fresh full-file
pass does not establish its cause; latest-head CI must also pass.
- Generic recovery and Muse/resource duties remain separate slices. This
does not make the whole server idle. Existing Cloud sleep blockers
remain. No deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm coverage,
fleet cost, or live provider qualification claim is made.

8ac5a128e6 fix(server): resolve native finalization notices from committed wakes (#17758)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native finalization can commit before its recovery notice is
resolved.
> - The periodic orphan pass revisits committed runs to resolve those
notices.
> - Retained completed history should not require repeated discovery.
> - This PR moves that one duty to transaction wakes and concrete
failure retries.
> - Existing notice rows reconstruct work after restart. The action
service still owns resolution.
> - Other completion and resource duties keep their current recovery
paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17752 (stack parent: committed run projection), #17748
(accepted-result commit), and #17734 (workspace finalization). These are
distinct recovery obligations. This slice incorporates parent #17752 at
`a49a2dac13b0e1c19da5d3d6b435c781703b1c0b`, now merged as
`50fe32684d2d4e1db129e3c1bb455571344a0c09`. Related #17724 retires
obsolete exact-session notices for terminal runs with no result and
preserves their replay hold. This slice resolves notices after a result
committed; it does not change that no-replay policy.

**Current behavior**
Committed native finalization recovery repeatedly inspects active
watchdog notices. A notice can also be updated in place to describe a
different run, so resolving a previously selected ID alone is unsafe.

**Proposed behavior**
Wake a scoped worker from relevant committed writes. Reconstruct active
finalization notices at startup. Resolve only the current notice after
the native owner rechecks its binding under lifecycle locks. Stop
scheduled work when no matching obligation remains.

**Reason and benefit**
Notice recovery becomes quiet after settlement and reacts to real
changes without a polling delay. Reused notices remain attached to their
current incident. This does not claim that every remaining server duty
or the host can sleep yet.

## What Changed

- Track the initial recovery-notice sweep through shutdown without
blocking HTTP readiness on task locks.
- Require issue/run scope for ordinary finalization fanout. Routine
company-only hints leave dormant notices quiet; dedicated owner and
explicit settings signals retain their scopes.

- Extract the native finalization notice predicate and resolution owner.
Keep the existing recovery-action service responsible for writing the
resolution.
- Bind candidates by company, issue and run. Require a committed result
and an active or escalated finalization notice. Exclude held ownership,
pending status effects and unfinished run projection.
- Recheck coordinator, issue, run and matching actions under locks. A
newer incident cannot be resolved from a stale candidate snapshot.
- Use the shared scoped worker, transaction signals, retry backoff and
lifecycle handling. Add no table, per-feature timer or provider branch.
- Signal action insertion, update, supersession and resolution;
finalization and effect changes; run projection and ownership release;
issue changes; settings activation; and the recovery route that reopens
an action.
- Preserve no-op resolution quiet. Serialize only the three supported
notification IDs, even when a caller supplies a larger internal object.
- Delegate only notice resolution from the periodic path. Keep
manual/default finalization and other completion/resource work.
- Add real PostgreSQL producer, concurrency and lifecycle coverage and a
detailed audit.

## Verification

- Current local source `730e00a7b007a36d188ca0a328ef050d3a25d1ee`
incorporates the parent with a normal merge. All 1,209 parent-only,
eight owned-only and 12 automatic shared paths are preserved. The two
manual paths retain both chat import sets and scope the new notice
fanout. The entire package tree matches parent profile 80 byte-for-byte.
- Controlled real-database regression: original notice-only unscoped
fanout produces three candidate SELECTs for routine company hints. The
same zero-query assertion passes after restoring scoped fanout. The real
notice writer then creates and resolves an action for a committed run
and returns to quiet. Both phases restore production bytes exactly; the
22 cases outside this focused pattern are not counted as passing there.
- The complete main command passes **1,873 cases in 21 files**, without
skips, in 309.69 seconds. It includes all 23 notice-worker cases, full
presentation/ownership read coverage, 88 startup cases, and the
projection/result/physical-work consumers. Process recovery passes 410
in 163.54 seconds and external-chat response passes 273 in 53.48
seconds. Total complete-file acceptance: **2,556 cases in 23 complete
files**, with no skips. The additional focused chat selection passes 18
cases in 13.44 seconds; 1,796 unselected chat cases do not count. Total
selected passes: **2,574**. Normal merge
`a0f2b3f4348b078219a53d8cc135c84202ba505e` adopts actual parent ancestry
with this complete tested child tree unchanged.
- The chat selection covers the real reply/notice row-lock regression,
Slack and Telegram response recovery, current-authority denial cases,
exact canonical response binding and internal GitHub attachment
navigation. Other cases in the giant chat file remain unselected; this
is not full chat-suite acceptance.
- Production server typecheck, build, module boundaries, migration order
and source identity checks pass. Twenty dedicated PostgreSQL 17
databases use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only
invocations use the existing fresh-per-call recovery helper. All
temporary imports restore exactly and all 24 selected test hashes match
after completion. No assertion or timeout is relaxed.
- Parent package acceptance remains applicable: 130 passing
installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed ACPX/Grok
contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One existing opt-in
closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root is
unset. This does not qualify a live provider.
- Failure history and scope are retained in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-recovery-notice-sleep-audit.md`.
Current-head acceptance: all 57 checks are clean, including protected CI
and security. Greptile gives 5/5 on
`2a8777bbed8b1e10810e3d6d99aae3f25b4854ef`, with no actionable findings.
Prior scores do not substitute. No Ponytail verdict is present under the
authorized missing-review policy. No full local repository suite,
deployed sleep, expanded Cloud wake coverage or measured savings is
claimed.

## Risks

- Resolution takes coordinator, issue, run and action locks in the
native recovery order. Contention must preserve the current incident;
the real concurrent-upsert and competing-resolver cases exercise this
boundary.
- Process-local signals cover instrumented application writers. They do
not add support for independent SQL writers or replicas without
supported ingress. Startup reconstructs the existing durable rows.
- Completed finalization is not proof that external conversation
settlement, Muse reconciliation or physical cleanup finished. Those
obligations retain their owners and recovery paths.
- Discovery uses narrow keyset pages. No fleet benchmark, host
suspension or cost reduction is claimed. Cloud wake coverage remains
unchanged.
- Parent #17752 has merged. This PR targets master at
`50fe32684d2d4e1db129e3c1bb455571344a0c09`. Fresh current-head CI and
review must pass before the authorized protected merge.

50fe32684d fix(server): wake committed native run projection from durable changes (#17752)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A native run has separate result acceptance, task decision, run
status, and resource settlement steps.
> - A task decision can commit before its run status is saved.
> - Recovery currently revisits committed decisions through the periodic
orphan pass.
> - This PR gives the existing run projection repair its own
transaction-driven worker.
> - Existing records reconstruct unfinished work after restart.
Completed history becomes quiet.
> - Other completion and resource obligations keep their existing
recovery paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17748 (stack parent: accepted-result commit), #17734 (workspace
finalization), and #17717 (retained session cleanup). Related #17614
preserves terminal notifications. This slice is prepared on current
parent #17748 at `b2efdb2dbbbef5b2227ffa2bd2a9a6cfe3867fe2`; the parent
has merged as `28e38da7e6bdd6af4092dda56bc2be05bed47af5`.

**Current behavior**
The native recovery pass revisits committed decisions to repair the
heartbeat-run status and metadata. A crash between decision and run
writes creates real work, but periodic scanning also revisits retained
history.

**Proposed behavior**
Wake projection repair after committed producer changes. Reconstruct
mismatches on startup and settings activation. Retry concrete failures
through the shared scheduler. Keep the run projection before resource
settlement.

**Reason and benefit**
The repair worker performs no recurring SQL after its work settles. A
real decision, effect settlement, or ownership release reactivates it.
This is one worker migration; it does not establish host or database
suspension.

## What Changed

- Extract the existing projection predicate and write into their
native-runtime owner. The finalizer keeps initial metadata enrichment
and task decision authority.
- Discover accepted, committed, mismatched run projections with company,
issue and run bindings. Exclude pending status effects and held runner
ownership. Read narrow fields instead of whole result payloads.
- Use existing transaction hints, scoped delivery scheduling, failure
backoff and lifecycle handling. Add no tables or per-feature timers.
- Require issue/run scope for ordinary finalization fanout. Routine
company-only hints leave dormant projection quiet; explicit settings and
dedicated producer signals keep their existing contract.
- Connect finalization, pending effects, lifecycle status writes, issue
changes and worktree execution activation. Preserve outer transaction
commit and rollback behavior.
- Lock the current run before deciding which terminal event and
completion time to save. Concurrent live and recovery projection must
not announce the same transition twice.
- Delegate only already-committed projection from the periodic pass. Its
candidate scan uses the same pending predicate to defer remaining
consequences and cleanup until projection finishes.
- Add real PostgreSQL producer, race and lifecycle tests plus an owner
audit.

## Verification

- Current local source `a83b9449233a275176e637c765059f414305d7c1`
incorporates the parent with a normal merge. All 1,208 parent-only,
seven owned-only and ten automatic shared paths are preserved. The only
manual conflict keeps new projection fanout inside the ordinary
issue/run guard. The complete package tree matches parent profile 80
byte-for-byte.
- Controlled real-database regression: the original projection-only
unscoped fanout produces three candidate SELECTs for routine company
hints. The same zero-query assertion passes with scoped fanout. A real
committed result then repairs the run and emits one terminal event
before returning to quiet. Production bytes restore exactly in both
phases. Twenty cases outside that focused pattern are not counted as
passing there.
- The complete main command passes **1,830 cases in 19 files**, without
skips, in 301.14 seconds. It includes all 21 projection cases, 85
startup cases, required quality review and heartbeat run lifecycle, plus
physical-work and result-commit consumers. Separate process recovery
passes 410 in 163.58 seconds and external-chat response passes 273 in
53.26 seconds. Total: **2,513 distinct passes in 21 complete files**,
with no skips. Normal merge `d4b46fd29cb23126d556cc3aeb883e6b41f1a8a5`
adopts the actual parent squash with this entire tested child tree
unchanged.
- Production server typecheck, build, module boundaries, migration order
and source identity checks pass. Seventeen dedicated PostgreSQL 17
databases use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only calls
use the existing fresh-per-call recovery helper. All temporary imports
restore byte-exact and all 21 selected test hashes match after
completion. No assertion or timeout is relaxed.
- Parent package acceptance remains applicable: 130 passing
installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed ACPX/Grok
contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One pre-existing
opt-in closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root
is not configured. No live provider qualification is claimed.
- The owner audit at
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-run-projection-sleep-audit.md` retains
prior failures and their disposition. Current-head acceptance: all 57
checks are clean, including protected CI and security. Greptile gives
5/5 on `a49a2dac13b0e1c19da5d3d6b435c781703b1c0b`, with no actionable
findings. Old scores do not substitute. No Ponytail verdict is present
under the authorized missing-review policy.
- These checks do not claim a full local repository suite, deployed
suspension, expanded Cloud wake coverage or measured cost savings.

## Risks

- Process-local signals cover instrumented application writers.
Independent SQL writers and replicas without supported ingress are not
newly covered. Durable startup reconstruction remains enabled.
- Projection must precede remaining committed resource settlement. The
real reconciler test proves the periodic path defers cleanup while
projection is pending and resumes it after repair.
- Status decisions, external conversation settlement, watchdog
resolution, Muse reconciliation and resource release keep their own
authority and recovery. A committed result alone is not proof of
completed cleanup.
- Candidate discovery uses narrow bounded pages. There is no large-fleet
performance or deployed sleep claim. Existing Cloud wake coverage and
sleep blockers remain unchanged.
- Parent #17748 has merged. This PR targets master at
`28e38da7e6bdd6af4092dda56bc2be05bed47af5`. Current-head CI and review
must pass before the authorized protected merge.

28e38da7e6 fix(server): wake native result commits from durable work (#17748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and preserves their results through
failures.
> - Native completion must save workspace output before it commits the
accepted result.
> - The orphan recovery pass repeatedly revisits this work even when the
subsystem is idle.
> - Accepted results, workspace receipts, retry dates and leases already
provide durable truth.
> - This PR wakes a scoped worker from those writes and schedules only
real unfinished work.
> - It preserves existing finalization authority and keeps later
projection and resource recovery separate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17734 and #17717. This is slice 53 of the existing sleep stack,
targeting master after parent #17734 merged at
`a019d00a393b57f531afe8dd8ab0b8a1820d1c4c`.
A current search found no duplicate accepted-result commit PR.

**What problem does this solve?**
Native accepted-result recovery currently depends on periodic orphan
scanning. Quiet instances keep doing work to discover that no result
needs a commit.

**What improvement do you propose?**
Use the shared delivery coordinator with transaction-bound producer
signals. Reconstruct unfinished results at startup. Preserve saved retry
and lease deadlines. Remove only uncommitted-result execution from the
periodic pass.

**Why is this useful?**
The accepted-result worker becomes quiet with no work or retained
completed history. Real results and completed workspace operations
reactivate it without a polling delay. This does not claim that the
whole server or database can sleep yet.

## What Changed

- Track the initial result-commit sweep through shutdown without
blocking HTTP readiness on recovery locks.
- Keep ordinary company-only finalization hints from reconstructing
dormant result work. Existing company settings and dedicated owner
signals remain supported.

- Add a native result-commit worker. Bind candidates by company, issue,
run, accepted result and a successful workspace receipt. Exclude
committed, terminal, held and pending-effect work.
- Signal both accepted-result writers and workspace receipt writes
before their transaction changes. Extend the existing finalization
fanout for retry, lease, effect and completion transitions.
- Add an optional atomic due-date check to the existing finalizer claim.
A lease collision or later retry does not consume a failed attempt.
- Signal native retry cancellation so it removes the saved wake after
commit.
- Register through the existing heartbeat suppression and shared
delivery lifecycle. Preserve outer commit/rollback, drain/resume,
settings activation and shutdown behavior.
- Delegate only uncommitted-result execution from the periodic orphan
pass. Keep committed projection and resource settlement recovery
enabled.
- Add real producer/lifecycle tests and a detailed audit. No new tables,
provider branches or per-feature timers.

## Verification

- Current local source `2af88fa55f961a74340880240019f6cd31e21bf1`
incorporates the parent with a normal merge. All 1,203 parent-only, nine
owned-only and 12 automatic shared paths are preserved. The only manual
conflict keeps the new result fanout inside the existing ordinary
issue/run scope guard. The complete package tree matches parent profile
80 byte-for-byte.
- Controlled real-database regression: the original result-only unscoped
fanout produces three candidate SELECTs for routine company hints. The
same zero-query assertion passes after restoring the scoped fanout. A
real workspace receipt and accepted result then commit exactly one
decision and return to quiet. Red and green restore production bytes
exactly. Twenty cases outside the focused pattern are not counted as
passing there.
- The complete main selection passes **1,746 cases in 16 files**,
without skips, in 277.97 seconds. This includes all 21 result-worker
lifecycle cases and 82 startup cases, including held result recovery,
HTTP readiness and shutdown joining. Separate process recovery passes
410 cases in 162.42 seconds and external-chat response passes 273 in
53.41 seconds. Total: **2,429 distinct passes in 18 complete files**,
with no skips. Normal merge `998239b019defe52e7b5d64f884de4e871ccd736`
adopts the actual parent squash and preserves this complete tested child
tree.
- Production server typecheck, build, module boundaries, migration order
and source identity checks pass. Fifteen dedicated PostgreSQL 17
databases use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only calls
use the existing fresh-per-call recovery helper. All temporary imports
restore byte-exact, and every selected test hash matches after
completion. No assertion or timeout is relaxed.
- Runner validation belongs to the unchanged parent package tree: 130
passing installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed
ACPX/Grok contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One existing
opt-in closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root
is not configured. This does not claim live provider qualification.
- Earlier Greptile 4/5 on `656f6722be1aedf3d52b7f853956e15838204278`
correctly identified startup blocking on result recovery. The prior
branch `108cf0dc8296bf451b721ddac55ecbcd035d00f0` already tracks its
ready promise through the existing lifecycle owner. Current full startup
acceptance verifies the fix in the merged context. The later Greptile
service error is not a pass; current-head acceptance now passes: all 57
checks are clean, including protected CI and security. Greptile gives
5/5 on `b2efdb2dbbbef5b2227ffa2bd2a9a6cfe3867fe2`, with no actionable
findings. No Ponytail verdict is present under the authorized
missing-review policy.
- The owner audit at
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-result-commit-sleep-audit.md` retains
earlier failures and their disposition. These checks do not claim a full
local repository suite, deployed app/database suspension, expanded Cloud
wake coverage or measured cost savings.

## Risks

- Process-local signals cover instrumented application writes in the
owning server process. They do not cover independent SQL writers or
another replica without supported ingress. Durable startup
reconstruction remains enabled.
- The initial native decision and its run projection are separate
transactions. The periodic reconciler still repairs already-committed
results and releases resources. This PR must not be used to infer that
committed means fully settled.
- Candidate discovery adds bounded, narrow reads at startup and after
signals. No large-fleet query benchmark is claimed.
- Existing Cloud alarm coverage, host sleep safety and resource blockers
are unchanged. No deployed sleep or savings claim is made.
- Parent #17734 has merged. This PR targets master at
`a019d00a393b57f531afe8dd8ab0b8a1820d1c4c`. Fresh current-head CI and
review remain required before merge.

a019d00a39 fix(server): wake native workspace finalization from committed work (#17734)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs can accept a result before workspace copy-back finishes.
> - The periodic orphan pass repeatedly tries this recovery, including
cases that require operator action.
> - Copy-back needs exact ownership evidence. A generic timer cannot
grant that authority.
> - This pull request wakes workspace recovery from committed changes
and local owner completion.
> - Saved retries use the existing scheduler. Empty work, completed
barriers, and operator holds become quiet.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17717. This is slice 52 of the recurring-server sleep stack,
targeting master after parent #17717 merged at
`4c56702e06c698cc10d4a86514669aba0f4d9a9b`. Related work: #17709 (status
reassessment), #17687 (unsafe export recovery), and #16478 (workspace
repair holds).

This PR covers native workspace copy-back and validation. Result
commit/projection and resource settlement remain separate recovery
duties. It does not claim full-instance sleep.

## What Changed

- Register a company/run/task-scoped workspace worker. Reconstruct
accepted, unfinished work from existing records. Use saved retry and
lease deadlines.
- Notify from both accepted-result writers (control-plane and PRP
coordinator), workspace receipts, coordinator changes, operator
confirmation, retained workspace repair, and relevant task updates.
Notifications follow the outer transaction.
- Distinguish active local ownership, busy external ownership, pending
Cloud evidence, operator-required evidence, and changed bindings. Only
concrete external ownership/evidence waits receive a scoped retry.
- Preserve advisory locks, signed stop proof, exact binding checks,
physical callback joins, and existing failure policy. Join physical
operations during shutdown.
- Respect the existing heartbeat execution-suppression policy before
discovery and execution; wake suppressed work on settings activation.
- Skip physical workspace recovery in the enabled periodic orphan pass.
Keep direct/startup reconciliation and the remaining result/cleanup
recovery paths.
- Keep routine company-only finalization hints quiet. Ordinary work
requires issue/run scope; explicit settings and owner-release events
keep their company-wide contract.
- Preserve the parent's entire Runner/package tree, profile 80 and all
historical identities. Add the dated obligation, producer, lifecycle and
limitation audit.

## Verification

- Current local source: `4059b24e3ea5c623be54ade18ec9b6ab78eb0289`,
prepared by a normal merge of the current parent. The sole manual
conflict keeps ordinary workspace fanout inside the existing issue/run
guard. All 1,198 parent-only, 15 owned-only and 10 automatic shared
paths are preserved. The complete package tree matches the parent
byte-for-byte.
- Controlled regression: the original workspace-only unscoped fanout
performs three candidate SELECTs for routine company hints. The same
zero-query assertion passes with scoped fanout. A real accepted result
then produces one successful workspace settlement and returns to quiet.
The failed baseline remains in the audit.
- The first complete local group passes **1,693 cases in 14 files**,
including all 19 workspace-worker cases. It covers both accepted-result
producers, physical ownership, export retry/failure, finalization
recovery, arbiter corpus, issue recovery actions, control-plane port,
workspace recovery, heartbeat recovery, startup, retained cleanup and
native execution.
- Separate process-recovery and external-chat response files qualify the
changed recovery/settlement paths without sharing their general test
database with other files. Both pass in full: 410 process-recovery cases
in 162.79 seconds and 273 external-chat cases in 53.79 seconds. The
total is **2,376 distinct passes in 16 complete files**, with no skips.
Normal merge `5c46c52873158529736b8349e4d44658865108ee` adopts the
parent squash with this entire tested child tree unchanged.
- Production server typechecking, build, module boundaries, migration
order and source-profile checks pass. Thirteen dedicated PostgreSQL 17
fixtures use the unchanged migration 413 schema. Embedded-only paths use
the existing recovery helper with fresh per-call fixtures. All temporary
imports are restored byte-exact. No test assertion or timeout is
relaxed.
- Runner validation belongs to the unchanged parent package tree: 130
passing installation/compatibility/transport cases, 22 installed
ACPX/Grok contract cases and 26 native-provider Rust cases. One existing
opt-in closed Pi snapshot case is skipped because its distribution root
is not configured. These are source-scoped checks, with no live provider
qualification claim.
- The owner audit at
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-workspace-finalization-sleep-audit.md`
preserves earlier failures and their disposition. Current-head
acceptance: all 57 checks are clean, including protected CI and
security. Greptile gives 5/5 on
`7df5c9c44ea9e171be3c61b4430d3727b10f3337` with no actionable findings.
Earlier scores do not substitute for this result. No Ponytail verdict is
present under the authorized missing-review policy.
- No claim of a full local repository suite, deployed app/database
sleep, expanded Cloud wake coverage or measured cost savings is made.

## Risks

- Supported wake producers are in-process application services. This
adds no cross-replica or independent SQL-writer transport.
- A real unresolved export still needs recovery. Busy owners and pending
Cloud stop evidence retain a 30-second scoped check. No timeout
authorizes copy-back.
- Result projection and resource release still use their existing
recovery. Some existing cleanup failures remain best effort; this PR
does not infer cleanup success from a workspace barrier.
- Cloud alarm coverage and host-sleep safety remain unchanged. No
deployed suspension or cost savings have been measured.
- Parent #17717 is merged. Current base is master at
`4c56702e06c698cc10d4a86514669aba0f4d9a9b`. Fresh current-head CI and
review must pass before this slice merges.

DottaandPaperclip 51c3f8924c fix(server): schedule cancelled workspace preservation (#17677)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A cancelled native run may still owe preservation of prepared
workspace files.
> - The existing recovery receipt and source lease record that
obligation.
> - The orphan reaper still searches for these cancellations on every
pass.
> - This PR registers committed cancellations with the shared deadline
worker.
> - The existing retention owner keeps file pinning and ownership
checks.
> - Idle and completed history no longer causes this preservation scan.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17674 and #17145. Stopped instruction collection is merged into
master. It owns file-preservation discovery only. The existing
environment cleanup worker continues to own stop-only teardown.

**What needs to be improved?**

`preserveCancelledNativeWorkspaces` runs from every orphan-reaper pass.
It queries even when no cancelled native workspace needs a file-recovery
hold. Current foreground Stop can also defer retention after a lock or
database failure, so startup-only recovery would be insufficient.

**Why is this improvement important?**

Empty queries keep idle tenants active. Removing them must not lose user
files, weaken Stop ownership, replay cancelled work, or turn a retained
allocation into destructive cleanup.

**Proposed solution**

Register the existing durable obligation from committed run-status,
cancellation-acknowledgement and workspace-reference writes. Reconstruct
it at startup. Keep retries while actual preservation remains
unresolved. Disarm after the existing owner records the hold. Related-PR
search and ROADMAP.md review found no duplicate of this scheduling
migration.

## What Changed

- Add a company/run-scoped preservation worker with 100-row keyset
reconstruction and fair batches of five.
- Separate pending file debt from immediate coordinator/lease readiness.
Retain a 30-second retry for known unfinished preservation and shared
failure backoff for errors.
- Signal the existing status, acknowledgement, workspace-reference,
deletion and settings transactions. Add no table or independent timer.
- Keep exact source checks, no-workspace contracts, task/coordinator/run
lock order, retention receipt and no-replay recovery card with their
owners.
- Recheck cancellation acknowledgement, run status and coordinator phase
under the retention locks. Preserve the existing foreground preterminal
API.
- Keep startup/manual recovery; skip only this duty in periodic reaping.
Preserve drain/standby and shutdown behavior.
- Add concurrent, replay-safe partial index migration 0409 and retain
the five newest snapshots.
- Add the producer and lifecycle audit in
`doc/plans/2026-10-25-cancelled-workspace-preservation-sleep-audit.md`.

## Verification

- Current source `21b46a8e4293ca670235117458b984493a181759`: all 1472
cases in 16 complete files pass without skips. The owner passes 84 cases
in 14.93 seconds. Fifteen consumer files pass 1388 cases in 133.46
seconds, including all 968 native-session cases and Stop, dispatch,
restart, workspace-sync and upgrade-readiness coverage.
- Twelve separate fresh PostgreSQL 17 databases migrated through 0409
before setup. The embedded-only lifecycle fixture temporarily used its
own external database on this IPC-exhausted host and was restored byte
for byte. Assertions and timing limits stayed unchanged. This qualifies
external-database behavior; it does not claim an unmodified embedded CI
run.
- Database build, server typecheck/build, module boundaries and
exact-head migration order pass. The complete original runtime/schema
patch and unrelated current-parent blobs are preserved. Original
concurrent index SQL, all earlier executable history and retained
snapshot bytes are unchanged; five snapshots 0405 through 0409 remain.
- A populated 0408-to0409 upgrade preserves all 407 prior receipts and
38 companies. Exactly one receipt is appended; replay adds none. The
preservation index is valid and ready on fresh and upgraded databases.
- Actual parent `82529741418e138d9d623bf13d2fa22c1ff79d36` is merged
through a normal ancestry reconciliation. Its complete tree equals the
reviewed parent. The entire accepted child tree and all source hashes
are preserved. The audit retains earlier failures, qualifications and
per-file counts. Published head
`b34f0589847f33754ecde9413fd36bf007353d2c` has Greptile 5/5 and all 57
checks passing or skipped. No Ponytail review is present. These checks
do not establish deployed host/database suspension or Cloud alarm
delivery.

## Risks

- Signals cover instrumented single-process writers. Independent SQL
writers and additional replicas need integration.
- Status signals may inspect a run without relevant file debt once. They
do not create recurring work. Discovery and memory still scale with
actual candidates.
- Missing ownership or stop evidence remains pending. Active retries are
intentional while a concrete file obligation is unresolved.
- Retry timing is process-local; startup reconstructs durable debt. The
worker does not overwrite another native-finalizer deadline.
- Admitted database operations may finish after drain begins. Shutdown
joins them. Provider teardown remains with the existing cleanup owner.
- The partial index adds storage and write cost. Its concurrent
migration uses the existing interrupted-index repair path.
- Cloud alarm coverage, sleep eligibility and host suspension are
unchanged. This proves worker behavior, not fleet savings.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, shell tools, and PostgreSQL
tests. The runtime does not expose a more precise model ID or
context-window size for this turn.

DottaandPaperclip 8252974141 fix(server): schedule stopped instruction collection (#17674)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runs can stop while their private instruction edits still need
collection.
> - Existing copy rows and stop evidence describe that unfinished work.
> - The orphan reaper still queries for it on every maintenance pass.
> - This PR activates collection from committed copy and run
transitions.
> - It uses saved retry deadlines when stop proof or collection remains
pending.
> - Active copies and completed history no longer cause collection
polling.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17671 and #17670. Both prerequisites are merged into master.
Captured saves and post-save release remain separate reasons with their
own workers.

**What needs to be improved?**

`recoverStopped` queries instruction copies on every orphan-reaper pass,
even when no terminal run owes collection. A run can become terminal
without changing its copy row, so copy-only notifications would miss
real work.

**Why is this improvement important?**

Repeated empty queries prevent idle tenant instances from becoming
quiet. Removing them must preserve edits, stop proof, current ownership,
and recovery after restart.

**Proposed solution**

Use the existing transaction signals, scoped deadline worker, and
scheduler. Reconstruct eligible copies at startup, signal supported copy
and terminal-run writers, and retain saved retry deadlines for
unresolved work. Preserve the existing collection and directory owners.

Related PR search found the warm agent-file ownership work (#14695),
verified stop boundary (#14311), and task-workspace cleanup (#16464).
This PR does not replace those contracts. ROADMAP.md has no duplicate
migration.

## What Changed

- Add scoped stopped-instruction collection with keyset reconstruction
and fair batches of 20.
- Signal before copy preparation, mutation and adoption writes, and
before terminal run writes in their existing transactions.
- Cover heartbeat, native finalization/restart/session recovery,
execution-control, queue and dispatch producers.
- Signal settings changes and company/agent deletion. Preserve drain,
standby, restart and shutdown ownership.
- Recheck terminal-run eligibility in the due-time claim. Keep terminal
status separate from process-stop proof.
- Retain existing stop checks, attempt limits, saved candidate bytes and
remote-resource fencing.
- Skip only this lane in periodic orphan recovery. Preserve
manual/startup recovery.
- Add concurrent, replay-safe partial index 0408 and retain the five
newest snapshots. Add no table.
- Record the owner and producer audit in
`doc/plans/2026-10-25-stopped-instruction-collection-sleep-audit.md`.

## Verification

- Source `cb2818a8f46ef961f744977a258f0e9042e31a42`: all 1469 cases
across 14 complete files pass without skips in 141.69 seconds. This
includes all 968 native-session cases, filesystem saves, startup,
terminal-run producers, dispatch, queue, execution-control, finalization
and lifecycle.
- Eleven separate fresh PostgreSQL 17 databases migrated through 0408.
The embedded-only lifecycle fixture temporarily used its own external
database on this IPC-exhausted host and was restored byte for byte.
Assertions and timing limits stayed unchanged. This qualifies
external-database behavior; it does not claim an unmodified embedded CI
run.
- Database build, server typecheck/build, module boundaries and
exact-current migration order pass. The original concurrent index SQL is
unchanged. All prior executable migration history, journal entries and
retained snapshot bytes are preserved; the five newest snapshots are
0404 through 0408.
- A populated 0407-to0408 upgrade preserves all 406 prior migration
receipts and 38 companies. It appends exactly one receipt. Replay adds
none. The collection index is valid and ready on fresh and upgraded
databases.
- The normal merge of actual parent
`267842fc3c6e6542deed8a1bcc2c78bec8df7862` preserves both complete
patches, all independent sidebar changes from #18117, and the full
accepted server/package/test trees. The complete sidebar test file
passes all 36 cases on the combined tree. React act warnings remain.
- Prior failures and fixture qualifications remain in the audit.
Published head `d176d731f083c7edd2ede688cb901d1e66d8f1d8` has Greptile
5/5, all 57 checks passing or skipped, and no unresolved review threads.
No Ponytail review is present. These local tests do not establish
deployed host/database suspension or Cloud alarm delivery.

## Risks

- Process-local signals cover instrumented writers. Independent SQL
writers and additional replicas still need integration.
- Terminal-run signals can cause one scoped inspection even if no
instruction copy exists. They do not create a recurring scan.
- Reconstruction and memory scale with actual pending candidates; active
candidates are filtered by the run join.
- Admitted file/provider operations can outlive a later drain request.
Shutdown joins them. Uncertain ownership remains pending rather than
being discarded.
- The partial index adds storage and write cost. Its concurrent
migration uses the existing interrupted-index repair path.
- Cloud alarms, sleep eligibility and provider suspension are unchanged.
Worker quiet is not a claim of deployed host/database sleep or measured
savings.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, shell tools, and
PostgreSQL/filesystem tests. The runtime does not expose a more precise
model ID or context-window size for this turn.

DottaandPaperclip 267842fc3c fix(server): schedule owed agent directory cleanup (#17671)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs can save their directory before temporary-file cleanup
finishes.
> - The existing receipt records stop proof and unfinished cleanup.
> - The orphan reaper still searches for this debt on every maintenance
pass.
> - This PR activates cleanup from committed changes and saved retry
deadlines.
> - The directory owner keeps its resource checks and file lock.
> - Settled directory history no longer causes recurring cleanup
queries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17670, the merged captured-instruction commit slice. This PR
targets master. It does not include stopped instruction collection or
change the saved-file contract from #14695.

**What needs to be improved?**

The post-save part of `recoverCaptured` queries directory copies on each
orphan-reaper pass, even after all temporary directories have been
released.

**Why is this improvement important?**

Empty database work prevents idle tenant instances from becoming quiet.
Cleanup must still survive a crash after a save and preserve files when
stop or resource ownership is uncertain.

**Proposed solution**

Use existing copy receipts as the source of truth. Notify the shared
coordinator inside relevant copy-write transactions. Reconstruct pending
work at startup and register each saved retry deadline. Keep physical
cleanup in the directory owner. Add a partial index over unfinished
cleanup rather than a new queue table.

Related-PR search found workspace archive and SSH task-workspace cleanup
changes (#17175 and #16464). They own different resources and do not
replace this stopped agent-directory receipt recovery. ROADMAP.md has no
duplicate migration.

## What Changed

- Add a scoped directory cleanup worker with keyset discovery and
batches of 20.
- Signal relevant copy transitions, company/agent deletion, and worktree
execution policy changes.
- Preserve the due-time claim, current receipt read, directory lock,
stop proof, and exact remote-resource checks.
- Read the receipt after release; a returned promise does not establish
cleanup completion.
- Keep unresolved cleanup on its saved retry or shared failure backoff.
Final receipts disarm the worker.
- Register the worker during startup and skip only this lane in periodic
recovery. Keep manual recovery compatible.
- Add concurrent, replay-safe partial index migration
`0407_greedy_star_brand.sql`. Retain the five newest schema snapshots.
- Add the producer audit and lifecycle evidence in
`doc/plans/2026-10-25-directory-cleanup-sleep-audit.md`.

## Verification

Published head: `210fcb1215a3b5e5ed84e420ddb73ab5952d9365`. Source
acceptance: `70a6800eea874bdb87685bf6eea66de79c48b577`. Parent #17670
landed as `b294de546bf9cd3a8578a7a66d7e8ec0eb939799`; normal
squash-ancestry reconciliation preserves the entire accepted descendant
tree. Final follow-ups change audits only.

- All 284 cases in six complete filesystem, startup and heartbeat owner
files pass, without skips, in 48.88 seconds. Four unused fresh
PostgreSQL 17 databases migrated through 0407 isolate destructive
fixtures.
- Three fixtures use supported external database paths. The
embedded-only lifecycle fixture temporarily uses its own external
database on this IPC-exhausted host, then is restored byte for byte. All
assertions and original timing limits remain unchanged. This qualifies
the local result; CI must still pass with the original embedded fixture.
- Actual database build, server typecheck/build, module boundaries and
exact-current migration order pass. The original concurrent idempotent
index SQL bytes are unchanged. All prior executable migration history,
journal entries and retained snapshots stay intact. The five snapshots
are 0403 through 0407.
- Populated 0406-to0407 upgrade preserves all 405 old receipts and all
38 companies, adds exactly one receipt and adds none on replay. The
cleanup index is valid and ready on fresh and upgraded databases. The
entire current database tree equals the source used for this proof.
- Both complete original and upstream patches are preserved. The actual
parent squash tree equals the already-adopted reviewed parent; resolving
eleven duplicate-ancestry text conflicts leaves the whole accepted tree
unchanged, not just selected files. Complete server, package, UI and
test trees still match the 284-case source acceptance.
- The audit retains earlier ownership, stopped-resource, receipt,
fixture and local-runner failures. The no-projects build filter was not
counted as a build pass; corrected actual build and complete reruns
passed before publication. Old draft review scores do not count for this
new head.
- Current-head Greptile gives 5/5 with no actionable findings, and all
57 checks pass. These checks establish worker behavior, not deployed
host/database suspension or measured savings.

## Risks

- Signals cover the existing single-process writer model. Independent
SQL writers and replicas need separate integration.
- The worker retains identifiers for actual pending work. Its index
excludes completed history but does not make large pending backlogs
free.
- File/provider cleanup can outlive an admission change once started.
Shutdown joins admitted operations. Unknown remote ownership remains
pending and no replacement environment is acquired for cleanup.
- The partial index adds storage and write cost. Its concurrent
migration uses the existing interrupted-index repair path.
- Cloud alarm coverage and host-sleep safety remain unchanged. This
establishes worker quiet, not deployed host/database suspension or
measured savings.

## Model Used

model ID or context-window size for this turn.

DottaandPaperclip b294de546b fix(server): recover captured instruction saves from committed deadlines (#17670)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A stopped run can leave captured instruction edits waiting for a
persistent save.
> - Existing working-copy records retain the candidate bytes, attempt
count, and retry deadline.
> - The orphan reaper scans those records on every heartbeat, even when
no save is due.
> - This PR wakes the existing save owner after committed changes and at
saved deadlines.
> - The worker preserves permissions, conflicts, and bounded retries,
then becomes quiet.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17667, the merged preceding PR in this recurring-server-work
stack. This PR targets master. Related warm-file ownership work: #14695.
Its process-stop and retained-directory guarantees remain with their
existing owner. The dedup search found no equivalent captured-save
scheduling migration.

**What happened?**

The commit portion of `recoverCaptured` runs inside the periodic orphan
sweep. Prepared copies, completed history, conflicts, and exhausted
candidates do not need repeated save discovery. A saved candidate does
need recovery after restart or a failed foreground save.

**Expected behavior**

Committed candidate changes reactivate recovery. The worker honors the
saved deadline and existing three-attempt bound. It stops querying after
settlement or deliberate conflict/exhaustion. Permission checks and
canonical save semantics remain in the revision service.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a server with heartbeat scheduling enabled and no captured save
pending.
2. Observe repeated pending-commit queries from the orphan reaper.
3. Capture edited instructions and fail their first canonical file
replacement. The durable candidate must be saved after its retry
deadline without starting a provider.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reviewed parent `405e533394b26215e22d0452e9b0207d3f784a79`. Actual
parent squash and current master baseline
`27270e9bf8b7a294cf03f8b84f4857f1b1ff05c7`.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server with the existing single-process transaction signal
model. Local verification uses PostgreSQL 17 and actual managed
instruction files.

## What Changed

- Preserve foreground instruction-save ownership and its failure
deadline before recovery spends another attempt.

- Add a bounded captured-commit worker inside the instruction-copy
owner. Existing rows and deadlines supply its state. No new table,
migration, or external scheduler is added.
- Signal writes entering or leaving pending commit from the existing
copy mutation boundary. Only these writes gain a short transaction. File
collection, file replacement, and provider operations stay outside that
new transaction.
- Signal company/agent deletion and worktree execution setting changes.
Preserve drain, standby, startup reconstruction, shutdown join, and
uncertain-transaction handling through the shared coordinator.
- Guard attempt claims with current copy ownership and a still-due
deadline. A concurrent writer that postpones the retry wins without
consuming an attempt. Manual/startup recovery uses the same guarded
owner.
- Remove only captured commits from periodic reaping. Stopped collection
and the separate post-save directory cleanup sweep remain for later
slices.
- Add real producer, file, transaction, concurrency, and lifecycle
tests. Add guarded external test databases to the two filesystem suites
so they can run where embedded PostgreSQL is unavailable.

## Verification

Published head: `915ef6f20a68fffe89711cc97a6196521ea9885d`. Source
acceptance: `9fb75e508f06b05b740099403ce021a61e7c6603`. The actual
#17667 squash ancestry is recorded by a normal merge. Its entire result
tree equals the prior accepted descendant tree; the final commit changes
the audit only.

- All 268 cases in six complete files pass, without skips, in 41.89
seconds on the updated parent. Coverage includes captured saves,
directory consumers, startup, instruction-copy lifecycle boundaries,
recovery and run lifecycle.
- Four unused fresh PostgreSQL 17 databases migrated through parent 0406
isolate the destructive fixtures. Three use supported external URL
paths. The embedded-only lifecycle fixture temporarily uses its own
external database on this IPC-exhausted host, then is restored byte for
byte. Assertions and original timing limits are unchanged. CI must still
pass with the original embedded fixture.
- Actual database build, server typecheck/build, module boundaries and
exact-current migration order pass. Commands select each operation by
name. The earlier local no-projects filter error remains recorded and is
not treated as a build pass.
- The normal parent merge preserves both complete added/removed patches
and every unrelated upstream blob. The entire database subtree is
parent-identical, with no owned schema or migration changes. New parent
worker behavior has current consumer/startup acceptance here and
separate owner acceptance in #17667.
- Earlier foreground ownership, postponed deadline, attempt cap, drain
hold, fixture and skipped-test findings remain in the audit. The prior
head's Greptile 5/5, Ponytail 5/5 and green CI are historical after this
new publication.
- Current-head Greptile and Ponytail both give 5/5. All 58 checks pass.
Prior stacked-head scores are historical; the new published SHA requires
fresh gates. These checks do not establish deployed host/database
suspension or external wake delivery.

## Risks

- Signals cover supported in-process writers. Independent SQL writers
and other replicas require a separate ingress contract. Startup
reconstructs persisted obligations.
- Exhausted candidates stay preserved under the existing policy; the
worker does not increase retry limits or silently discard saved edits.
Database reconstruction failures retain shared backoff.
- Inventory pages scalar fields but retains candidate identifiers in
memory. The query-plan result covers completed history, not a
constant-cost promise for arbitrary exhausted-pending history.
- File saves can outlive a stop request once admitted. Shutdown joins
them. Exact-byte replay and current authorization remain with the
revision owner.
- Other instruction recovery duties and other stack blockers remain.
This PR does not prove host suspension, database suspension, or external
wake delivery. An ordinary protected merge is authorized only after
current review and CI gates pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, shell tools, and local
PostgreSQL/filesystem tests. The runtime does not expose a more precise
model identifier or context-window size for this turn.

Review follow-up: remove seven newly added comment lines to satisfy
CONTRIBUTING.md, preserving the explanations in the owning audit. Both
changed files retain the exact non-comment TypeScript token stream;
other source bytes are unchanged. The original cffe server-shard-9 run
ended after a runner shutdown signal and cancellation, without a final
assertion verdict; that failure is retained and not counted as a pass.
No old-head retry is requested. Fresh current-head CI and Greptile are
required.

DottaandPaperclip 27270e9bf8 fix(server): wake interrupted retry cancellation from committed intent (#17667)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A parked scheduled retry has no executor to finish an interrupted
Stop request.
> - Its saved cancellation fence already records the work that remains.
> - The orphan reaper currently scans for that work on every heartbeat,
including idle periods.
> - This PR registers the existing records with the shared delivery
scheduler and wakes recovery after committed writes.
> - Recovery keeps the existing cancellation guards and settlement
behavior, then becomes quiet.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17666, the merged preceding PR in the recurring-server-work
migration stack. This PR targets master. Related cancellation work found
in the dedup search: #12301 and #7340. This PR changes the trigger for
interrupted parked-retry cancellation; it does not replace their
cancellation or retry policies.

**What happened?**

The periodic orphan reaper queries scheduled retries with cancellation
fences even when no cancellation needs recovery. Its first-20-row scan
can also stop behind malformed evidence.

**Expected behavior**

Committed cancellation intent wakes bounded recovery. Failed work
retains a retry. Startup reconstructs durable work. Empty or settled
work performs no recurring SQL for this duty.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a server with heartbeat scheduling enabled and no interrupted
retry cancellations.
2. Observe the orphan reaper repeatedly query for cancellation fences.
3. Cancel a scheduled retry and fail the final status write after its
fence commits. Recovery must complete the existing Stop request without
running a provider or dropping its metadata.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current parent squash `7afee8f0622e273d10506b0febfb68f143d168b1`. Source
acceptance `66107ae0a7ad85fd0476f91c4f8f98ae74a7a048`.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server with the existing single-process transaction signal
model. Local evidence uses PostgreSQL 17.

## What Changed

- Add one domain-owned recovery worker over existing heartbeat run rows.
No new table. It delegates to run control and preserves original
cancellation, budget, and operator metadata.
- Signal cancellation fences, lifecycle transitions, dispatch
deferral/promotion/suppression, relevant settings changes, and deletion
within their owning transactions. Wrap only the ordinary database fence
in a short transaction; provider calls stay outside it.
- Keep startup/manual recovery compatible and remove this duty from the
periodic orphan sweep. Other reaper duties remain for separate PRs.
- Extend the shared scoped worker to retain pending work with a
memory-only admission retry while its owner is paused. Without pending
work, it schedules nothing. Existing GitHub consumers retain their
behavior.
- Add a concurrent idempotent partial index and lifecycle/producer
tests. Enable guarded disposable PostgreSQL URLs in affected test
harnesses.
- Reconstruct one hundred candidates per scope per scheduler pass.
Resume from the saved scope cursor and retain fair twenty-item execution
batches. Manual recovery starts cancellation before reading the full
backlog.
- Require the recovered browser reply to be saved before testing reload.
Keep all original assertions and time limits.
- Record the full producer audit, lifecycle limits, and failed attempts
in `doc/plans/2026-10-25-scheduled-retry-cancellation-sleep-audit.md`.

## Verification

acceptance: `a35fa43b98e2bd378d4a920d2775ce243654838b`. The final commit
changes the audit only.

- All 363 backend cases in ten complete owner and consumer files pass
without skips. This includes actual Stop/retry producers, transaction
settlement, interrupted-write recovery, pause/resume, shutdown, fair
backlog processing and quiet after settlement. Seven separate fresh
PostgreSQL 17 databases prevent fixture interference.
- The two embedded-only backend fixtures temporarily use separate
external databases on this IPC-exhausted host. Their fixture imports and
native client teardown are restored byte for byte afterward. Assertions
and timing limits are unchanged. CI must still pass with the original
embedded fixtures.
- Two paging regressions fail on the prior worker and pass on the fix.
They cover cancellation before full reconstruction, a malformed first
page, fair batches, a newly committed intent behind the cursor, and no
later idle SQL. Per-candidate admission reads remain deliberate safety
checks.
- The repeated CI reload failure is reproduced with a temporary
twelve-second fixture settlement delay. The trace retains the same
five-second missing-reply assertion, even though a cleanup race masked
it in the top-level error. Requiring exactly one saved reply from the
resumed run passes under the identical delay. The fault is removed. All
six browser journeys pass on the final source in 40.5 seconds, with zero
retries and the original 120-second case and five-second reload limits.
- Browser acceptance uses the canonical CLI/server/static-UI path and a
fresh external database. Only fixture database-URI setup is temporarily
adapted and then restored. This is not an unmodified embedded
CI-environment reproduction. The six cases include the controlled case;
repeated runs are not added to the distinct count.
- Actual database build, server typecheck/build, module boundaries and
exact-current migration order pass. The database source tree is
unchanged from the verified 0405-to0406 upgrade: all 404 prior receipts
and 300 companies stay intact, exactly one receipt is added, replay adds
none, and the index is valid on upgraded and fresh databases. The five
snapshots remain 0402 through 0406.
- All earlier failures remain recorded in the audit. Prior head
`48b3fcb83f305616df02a4337a42ec0867bb4b80` had exact-head Greptile 5/5
but failed the repeated browser assertion. It was not retried blindly.
Its completed Ponytail review's backlog concern and old migration
paragraph are addressed here. Old scores do not satisfy new-head gates.
- Current-head CI passes. Exact-head Greptile and Ponytail both give
5/5, with no remaining actionable findings. These checks do not prove
deployed instance or database suspension.

## Risks

- Only supported in-process writers produce local transaction signals.
Independent SQL writers or other replicas need a separate ingress
contract. Startup reconstructs saved obligations.
- A real failure retains bounded retries. Unknown commit outcomes retain
the shared intent hold. Neither is discarded to report quiet.
- Per-owner drain uses a memory-only admission recheck. The shared
helper change affects existing consumers, which have focused regression
coverage.
- The partial index is concurrent and idempotent; it adds index storage.
Each scoped load reads at most one hundred rows. The shared helper
retains discovered pending IDs between passes, so a large unresolved
backlog still uses memory.
- Cloud alarms, idle-safety exemptions, and other reaper duties remain
separate. Merge requires passing current-head CI and review gates.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, shell tools, and local
PostgreSQL tests. The runtime does not expose a more precise model
identifier or context-window size for this turn.

DottaandPaperclip e93732c3d4 fix(server): deliver voice replies from commits and saved deadlines (#17578)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Phone calls receive approved answers from the existing chat
publication queue.
> - The chat maintenance timer checks for voice replies every second,
including when no reply is ready.
> - A reply can be saved before its publication commits. An early wake
alone can miss that final transition.
> - Existing session, reply, publication, and action rows already record
delivery and recovery work.
> - This pull request uses committed changes and saved deadlines to
drive phone reply delivery.
> - Empty reply queues become quiet while authorization, ordering, and
uncertain-send protection remain in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Stacked on #17576. Related delivery infrastructure: #15625. Related
voice connection work: #11418.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Background phone reply delivery and recovery of abandoned dispatch
intents.

**Current behavior**

Chat maintenance calls voice reply delivery every second. It also scans
old dispatch intents. Publication transport starts a direct push before
the final publication commit. The timer masks that timing gap.

**Proposed behavior**

Committed publication, reply, session, and configuration changes wake
the shared coordinator. Ready replies drain in bounded passes. Saved
rate-limit and dispatch-expiry deadlines retain recovery. An empty queue
or a permanent delivery barrier has no recurring reply scan.

**Reason and benefit**

Remove recurring SQL from idle phone reply delivery without dropping
replies, replaying uncertain sends, or adding a queue table.

**Breaking changes**

No API or schema change. Explicit manual recovery remains available.
Inbound admission cleanup, history retention, and reports remain on
their current paths for separate migrations.

## What Changed

- Extract ordered reply state and multipart policy within the voice
owner. Retain current authorization and atomic dispatch claims.
- Register a scoped reply worker with startup reconstruction, fair work
batches, failure backoff, drain/resume handling and shutdown ownership.
- Extend the existing shared dispatcher with normalized partial-page
results to preserve the bounded parent recovery contract. Existing
complete-array consumers retain their calls.
- Signal before relevant writes in their existing transactions. Both
normal publication completion and operator resolution wake the actual
conversation after commit.
- Bound reply inventory to 100 total headers per refresh. Preserve
partial scans, concurrent changes and newer denied-call restoration
obligations across reconstruction.
- Track abandoned dispatch actions independently of live calls.
Quarantine expired intents without resending them.
- Use existing active-call authorization checks to reactivate replies
that were previously denied. Healthy call inspections do not rescan
empty reply queues.
- Remove the periodic reply scan and the early direct publication push.
Keep provider requests outside database transactions.

## Verification

Published head: `1435cab10be3f95c38ab6672d2a890ae49e9d300`. Voice
recovery #17576 has landed at master
`e1ba77f06771a27114b3999004b0ca5e3c172dd4`. A normal merge reconciles
squash ancestry while preserving the complete reviewed 31-file reply
patch byte for byte and all unrelated master changes. The PR now targets
master; fresh exact-head CI and Greptile are required. The prior
449-case/typecheck/build results below cover the identical owned source,
not a new full-suite run.

- **449 distinct targeted cases pass**: 111 complete voice-store/reply;
19 complete parent recovery; and 319 complete tool-gateway,
secret-proposal, shared dispatcher/coordinator/batching/startup/hostname
cases. Production server typecheck and build pass. The policy checker
and its Node tests pass. Later edits record evidence only.
- Two real normal-publication/operator-resolution tests seed 105
unrelated calls and 105 future dispatches. Five publications selected
**1,065/1,060 inventory rows before repair**; both paths now pass the
same **125-row total budget** and deliver every answer once. This counts
selected SQL results, not physical tuple visits or host savings.
- Publication commits now signal their actual conversation. The voice
reader returns at most 100 total session/action headers per refresh,
preserves phase/cursor state and retries, and resets on worker
registration. Current-state checks and dispatch claims still own
provider effects. The 105-action case measures the page cap, restarts
the same owner during reconstruction, waits at saved future deadlines
and quarantines every abandoned action without resending.
- A real 403 fixture proves that an older broad scan cannot erase a
denied call first observed behind its cursor. Its owner callback still
emits the committed restoration wake after scan completion. The existing
actual-service authority-restoration and final-publication timing tests
remain in the full suite. They are not replaced by direct helper calls.
- Guarded removal of conversation scoping, cursor reset or the denial
revision fence fails the intended budget, 100-versus-5 restart or
missing committed-wake assertion; source is restored. An initial
shadowed fixture name and an inadequate due-action reset probe are
retained as failed attempts in the [current
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/d2c0a7de8c3e9cac8382b1268f3f5d883a2067b3/doc/plans/2026-10-25-voice-reply-delivery-sleep-audit.md#publication-inventory-and-paging-acceptance-october-28).
- Parent recovery still passes paging, restart, behind-cursor insertion,
feature changes, actual disablement, quiet health observations, current
authority, exact-scope failure fences and wildcard-failure isolation
through the shared worker. Four existing array-based worker consumers
retain their API and pass their full suites.
- The two voice fixtures self-migrate separate empty databases. Legacy
tool-review/secrets suites use separate migrated clones. Earlier
full-local attempts remain limited by embedded PostgreSQL setup and are
not passing full-matrix claims. Older counts apply only to their stated
revisions. Fresh exact-head Greptile, Ponytail if present, security and
all CI remain merge gates. No live-provider, multi-writer,
external-wake, deployed-sleep or savings claim is made.

## Risks

- Missing a supported producer can strand work. Tests cover real
enqueue, retrieval, normal publication, and operator publication paths.
Startup reconstructs existing records.
- Signals cover the process-local database owner. Independent SQL
writers or other replicas need their own wake contract.
- Authority restoration relies on the existing live-call recovery check.
This dependency must be preserved if that owner changes later.
- A provider acceptance receipt does not prove speech. Unknown outcomes
remain blocked from automatic resend.
- This change does not extend Cloud alarms, allow sleep during live
calls, or prove deployed suspension or cost savings.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with repository inspection, reasoning, code
execution and test tools. The runtime does not expose a more specific
deployment identifier or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip e1ba77f067 fix(server): schedule live voice recovery from session changes and deadlines (#17576)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Voice calls retain durable session state and provider identities.
> - The chat maintenance timer scans live voice sessions even when no
call exists.
> - Session writes, saved expiry and active-call inspection deadlines
identify real work.
> - This pull request moves live-session recovery to the shared
coordinator.
> - Idle session recovery becomes quiet without losing exact-call
cleanup or current authorization checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17572. This PR is stacked on receiver discovery. It owns only live
voice session recovery. Reply delivery, inbound admission cleanup,
inbound history retention and call reports remain separate migration
slices.

**What happened?**
The one-second chat maintenance lane reads voice settings and scans live
sessions even when an instance has no calls or only terminal history.

**What did you expect?**
Reconstruct live calls on startup. Wake on committed session or
configuration changes. Inspect active calls and retry cleanup at actual
deadlines. Stop querying when no live obligation remains.

**Steps to reproduce**
Start an instance with no live voice sessions. Let startup settle. The
old maintenance method continues to read settings and session inventory
every chat maintenance pass.

## What Changed

- Add a voice-owned bounded deadline reader and scoped worker on the
existing coordinator. Retain concurrent writes across pages and reset
partial scans on restart. No tables or migrations are added.
- Separate generic connection health observations from configuration
changes. Existing receiver and command consumers retain their
notifications. Voice eligibility and provider operations remain in the
voice owner.
- Signal existing session transactions and configuration/feature
changes. Keep provider calls outside database transactions. Standalone
session writes use one small transaction helper.
- Preserve saved expiry, the two-minute unknown-creation grace,
active-call authorization and missed-hangup inspection, and
exact-provider cleanup. Recovery never creates a provider call.
- Retry transient authority lookup failures instead of treating them as
confirmed revocation.
- Fence expiration against a provider identity bound after discovery. A
late known call remains eligible for cleanup.
- Preserve work through rollback, drain, restart, concurrent refresh,
backoff and shutdown. Page inventory and rotate bounded batches across
companies.
- Leave the four other voice maintenance duties in the periodic lane.
- Document producer coverage and the supported writer contract in
`doc/idle-voice-session-recovery.md` and the dated audit.

## Verification

Published head: `f0b2e3cc22a18e7d08b10d4fc02aae4a19a52f30`. Receiver
#17572 has landed in master at
`dce004259394486f6361d0c0dd5a33a5272acc0a`. This normal merge reconciles
squash ancestry; the complete 22-file voice recovery patch is
byte-for-byte identical to the reviewed and tested `ad79c7e805` patch,
while all unrelated master changes are preserved. The PR now targets
master. Fresh exact-head CI and Greptile are running; interrupted
Ponytail turns are not completed verdicts under the maintainer’s
clarified merge policy, and an actual failing verdict still blocks.

- **210 distinct targeted cases pass on the current repair**: 19
complete recovery lifecycle cases and 191 complete voice-store,
coordinator, batching, startup and hostname cases. Production server
typecheck and build pass. Later edits record evidence only.
- CI `40633667141` on prior head `1b6323c164` failed the feature-change
assertion with `34050 < 25000`; its verification aggregate also failed.
The test now disables automatically advancing fake time, drives 20
controlled scheduler turns and requires all 205 calls to close before an
unrelated inspection deadline can mask a lost wake. Removing generation
replay fails with missing closures. The repair does not benchmark
database/host speed or raise the elapsed-time bound.
- A real committed exact-call regression reproduces wildcard-backoff
starvation. The worker keeps the broad retry but processes independent
exact hints and cached due calls. Each check reloads current state and
authority. Failed exact scopes remain fenced. Removing wildcard
isolation fails the intended assertion; a successful broad retry then
leaves the worker SQL-quiet. Full-row and lean queries now share the
state/scope/cursor predicate.
- Earlier acceptance on `712f3862b5` passed 725 distinct targeted cases.
Its measurements remain useful history: five real metadata writes and
one health check over 205 future calls selected 1,230 rows before the
inventory repair and zero afterward, without changing the saved
deadline. Those older test counts are not added to the current 210-case
count.
- Both external voice fixtures self-migrate; the current full
voice-store run uses a separate initially empty database. Earlier
fixture/method/observer failures, source mutations and partial edit
attempts remain in the [current
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/ad79c7e805367fc7e2df3ea53c942ca6c7d27365/doc/plans/2026-10-25-voice-maintenance-sleep-audit.md#wildcard-failure-and-deterministic-generation-acceptance-october-28).
Source is restored after guarded mutations.
- Older CI `40632057899` failed because its trusted policy script was
absent from the checkout, while build separately received a runner
shutdown signal. E2E shards succeeded but their aggregate failed on
policy. The current checkout includes the landed policy tooling and its
checker/tests pass locally. The shutdown cause is unproven; neither old
failed run is counted as passing. Earlier full-local attempts stopped on
embedded PostgreSQL setup failures and did not pass.
- Fresh exact-head Greptile, security and all CI must pass before merge.
A completed failing Ponytail verdict blocks; an interrupted turn without
a verdict does not. No full current local repository matrix, live
provider acceptance, multi-writer support, Cloud wake, host suspension
or savings is claimed.

## Risks

- Process-local hints cover the existing active writer and shared
clients. Independent SQL writers or another replica need explicit wake
integration.
- Membership, task binding, phone preferences and other authority inputs
remain checked on the existing 30-second active-call inspection deadline
and on use. This is not an instant cleanup guarantee for every authority
mutation.
- Unknown creation retains its existing maximum-duration grace. Cleanup
failures retain retries. A provider request is never replayed merely
because its creation response is unknown.
- Genuine configuration changes retain bounded reconstruction. Metadata
writes can probe parent eligibility, while health-only observations
leave voice recovery quiet. Paging state is process-local and
reconstructs from durable rows after restart.
- Active calls, the other voice maintenance owners and connector
transports remain real obligations. This does not expand Cloud alarm
coverage, relax sleep eligibility or prove deployed suspension.
- The receiver and Discord parents have landed. Current-master
compatibility and exact-head CI and Greptile remain merge gates.

DottaandPaperclip 94a780286f fix(server): schedule tool health from committed changes and deadlines (#17554)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI-agent work and its connected tools.
> - Idle hosted instances need their database and network activity to
stop.
> - The maintenance tick queries tool connections even when no health
check is due.
> - Existing connection rows already contain eligibility and the last
health observation.
> - This pull request reconstructs health deadlines and refreshes them
after committed changes.
> - The shared coordinator preserves retries, drain, and shutdown
without another private timer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The aggregate maintenance tick scans connection health every 30 seconds.
Empty instances and connections with fresh health observations still
cause SQL activity.

**Expected behavior**

No eligible connection means no recurring health SQL. Eligible
connections retain the existing 15-minute proactive check. Configuration
changes and health observations update the schedule after commit.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start a server with heartbeat scheduling enabled and no tool
connections. Let startup finish and observe two maintenance ticks. The
old code repeats the health inventory query. The new startup regression
verifies that those ticks do not invoke the health inventory.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This branch includes merged parent #17518 and master
`96727b3cfefb61f85ffe1fbc29a9b6dd6837efe8`. The 47 changed paths belong
to the single tool-connection health duty. No database file differs from
master.

Related: #14638 covers runtime-auth exclusions. #15448, #15325, and
#11910 concern MCP failure classification. This PR preserves those
provider policies and does not replace their work.

## What Changed

- Keep the GitHub error-projection unit fixture at the health-write
boundary and verify the real transaction path in the PostgreSQL
health-worker suite.

- Add a health schedule owned by tool access. Read lean eligibility
fields and saved observation timestamps.
- Register health work with the existing coordinator. Refresh only dirty
connection/application/company scopes using bounded inventory pages,
check due connections in fair company batches, continue concrete due
backlog after one second, and retain failures with backoff.
- Notify before supported eligibility and observation writes in their
owning transactions. Cover API/gallery setup, OAuth, catalog/gateway
observations, email, voice, access removal, deletion, and settings.
- Commit connection creation with grant, binding, and runtime-slot SQL
before its wake. Keep provider calls outside the new transactions.
- Keep provider-to-transport mapping in the chat catalog. SDK-only chat
changes do not wake health work.
- Replace aggregate health scans, retain the public manual sweep, and
document the producer audit and remaining sleep limits.
- Keep metadata-only example and Smoke Lab installs scoped. Lock and
re-read application type before publishing a real eligibility change.
- Keep failed inventory reads on their own retry deadline while healthy
due batches continue.
- Apply fixture migrations before using external disposable databases in
all six producer suites.

## Verification

Published head: `8c1d293d1ae2b7db753ab20f5a2a2edec1fb0a62`. Fresh CI and
reviews are required for this exact head.

- **623 distinct targeted cases pass.** The final four complete health,
fair-batching, GitHub health recovery, and startup suites pass 80 cases
after the retry fix. Five complete producer suites pass 543 cases: tool
access 469, access 18, email 45, GitHub events four, and Smoke Lab
seven. The earlier 26 health cases are part of this total, not
additional cases.
- The six producer suites first passed against separate, initially empty
PostgreSQL 17 databases at `acbf262843`. They apply their own
migrations. The subsequent repair changes only the health worker and its
regression; its complete final consumer suites pass on that integrated
parent. Server typecheck and build pass with the final repair.
- **Installer amplification:** five real installs with 205 unrelated
connections reproduced 1,035 example rows and 1,045 Smoke Lab rows.
Repeated metadata installs now load only changed fixture connections.
The same cases restore an excluded application through each installer
and require all 205 unrelated IDs to re-enter the schedule.
- **Concurrent eligibility:** a real PostgreSQL lock-wait case requires
the installer to notify after a concurrent type change. A mutation that
retains the lock but uses the old lookup fails the settled-hint
assertion; original source was restored byte for byte.
- **Retry isolation:** the failing baseline read one unavailable company
three times while another company's 60 due checks drained. Final tests
require one initial read, at least 30 seconds between failed reads,
prompt healthy progress, eventual recovery, and SQL quiet after
settlement.
- Real-service producer coverage includes AgentMail activation/pause,
GitHub installation changes, and member access removal. Lifecycle
coverage includes outer commit/rollback, startup reconstruction,
drain/resume, failure, and shutdown.
- Failure history and exact evidence scope: [health
acceptance](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/8c1d293d1ae2b7db753ab20f5a2a2edec1fb0a62/doc/idle-tool-connection-health.md#acceptance-follow-up-after-the-plugin-parent-merged-october-27),
[producer
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/8c1d293d1ae2b7db753ab20f5a2a2edec1fb0a62/doc/plans/2026-10-24-tool-connection-health-sleep-audit.md).
Prior remote failures and earlier 706-case evidence remain historical.
Startup tests emitted listener-count warnings; all assertions passed. No
full local repository-suite, deployed sleep, fleet savings, or live
provider qualification claim is made.

## Risks

- Supported live writers must use the transaction signals. Independent
SQL writers and other replicas need their own wake integration.
- Configured eligible connections still have a real proactive health
obligation. This does not prove Cloud alarm coverage or host/database
suspension.
- Existing manual probes and catalog operations can overlap. This
migration does not introduce a credential-version CAS or change provider
failure policy.
- Voice remains eligible under the previous health policy. Its generic
probe can still report an unsupported transport; changing that behavior
is separate work.
- No database migration, new table, workflow, or lockfile change. This
PR includes its merged parent and current inspected master; later stack
PRs and all current-head acceptance gates remain separate.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 2adcde162e fix(server): wake Grok dispatch from committed reservations (#17490)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and should become idle when no work is
owed.
> - Grok routine dispatch already persists each outbound intent before
delivery.
> - Its dispatcher starts a one-second timer whenever public MCP is
configured.
> - That timer queries settings even when Grok is disabled, and scans
dispatches when enabled but idle.
> - The reservation transaction and feature-setting transaction already
define when work can become available.
> - This PR connects those writes to the shared coordinator and retains
the Grok service's claim and delivery policy.
> - The worker becomes quiet without adding a queue table or replaying
uncertain sends.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Stacked on #17486. This PR owns only Grok routine dispatch. It does not
include decision retention or other remaining maintenance owners.
Related open Grok PR #17278 concerns Runner credential-lease fixtures,
not this dispatcher. The duplicate search found no overlapping
dispatcher migration.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Grok routine dispatch recovery in the server.

**Current behavior**
With public MCP configured, the dispatcher reads instance settings every
second, including when Grok is disabled. With Grok enabled, it scans for
prepared dispatches every second. The baseline regression observed three
queries in 3.2 seconds with Grok disabled.

**Proposed behavior**
Reconcile once at startup. Wake from committed dispatch reservations and
experimental-setting changes. Schedule another pass only while prepared
dispatches remain or reconciliation failed. Disabled and settled workers
perform no recurring SQL or provider calls.

**Reason and benefit**
Remove unnecessary tenant database activity while preserving dispatch
recovery, current authorization, provider outcome semantics, and
shutdown ownership. This follows the existing sleep-aware maintenance
direction; ROADMAP review found no competing dispatcher redesign.

**Breaking changes**
No public API or provider payload change. The internal dispatcher start
method receives the shared coordinator; that coordinator now owns
shutdown. Sending, accepted, unknown, and terminal dispatches remain
non-replayable. This does not extend Cloud wake coverage.

## What Changed

- Register the Grok worker with the existing coordinator; remove its
independent timer.
- Signal reservation and experimental-setting writes before commit.
Nested writes follow their outer transaction.
- Preserve ten-row batches, durable send claims, current authority
checks, and existing cancellation/uncertainty policy.
- Join admitted work during shutdown and leave later rows for restart.
- Add a concurrent, replay-safe partial index for prepared dispatch
lookup. Keep only the five newest generated snapshots.
- Reuse the existing real OAuth/agent/routine fixture for lifecycle
tests and add a validated external PostgreSQL test option.
- Document producers, recovery, quiet conditions, and remaining
host-sleep limitations.

## Verification

Test revision: `6d81746fe260ee879442e7e0c879cfe88c250c8e`, followed by
docs-only head `679f523d78`, which received both 5/5 reviews and passing
CI. This candidate normally integrates landed target `8dfed893d8`. Its
entire runtime and acceptance-test sources match that reviewed/tested
tree; only four independently merged Runner E2E accounting files and the
ledger differ, preserved exactly. Migration 0391 and the parent journal
prefix are unchanged. Local checks were not repeated on unchanged
runtime; fresh final-head CI and reviews are required.

- **273 cases pass** in nine complete suites: real-PostgreSQL dispatch
lifecycle, Grok qualification, server startup, scoped deadlines and all
five instance-settings suites. Server typecheck and production build
pass with the updated Runner vendor.
- The baseline disabled-feature regression failed with three SQL reads.
Existing lifecycle cases cover first reservation, restart,
non-replayable history, re-enable, outer commit/rollback, drain,
failure/retry, concurrent enqueue, paging, foreground send race, expiry,
settings commit/rollback, and shutdown.
- Generated migration `0391_third_roulette.sql` adds only the
concurrent/idempotent prepared-dispatch index. All 389 parent journal
entries are unchanged; five generated snapshots remain (0387–0391).
Migration safety/numbering, schema drift and actual fresh apply/replay
on two isolated PostgreSQL databases pass.
- The earlier 259-case selection and 40,000-row generic-plan probe
remain historical evidence: both unchanged queries used the partial
index, six shared buffers including the routine join, 0.032ms / 0.025ms
local execution. No new deployed suspension or cost claim is made.
- Earlier browser CI failed during agent-chat fixture restoration (lock
timeout/HTTP 500), followed by a test seeing the experiment left
enabled. Those failures remain recorded in the owning audit; they were
not dispatcher assertions. Later pre-reconciliation `a74305e2b4` checks
were terminal and green. Fresh CI and both 5/5 bot reviews are required
for this head.

Commands: server Vitest for `grok-dispatch-work`, `grok-bot-routine`,
`server-startup-feedback-export`, `scoped-deadline-work` and the five
`instance-settings-*` suites; server typecheck/build; DB migration
safety/numbering, snapshot drift and fresh migration apply/replay.

## Risks

- Signals are local to the shared database owner and its child pools.
Independent SQL writers and other replicas need explicit wake
integration. Startup recovers committed prepared rows.
- Disabled Grok retains prepared rows and resumes after a committed
settings change. This does not relax Cloud's binding/assignment/hold
guards.
- Existing send-error cancellation policy is preserved. Sending or
unknown outcomes are not reset or automatically replayed; this is not an
exactly-once delivery change.
- Shutdown awaits the current send within existing transport timeouts
and stops before the next row.
- The index adds write/storage cost but bounds queries independently of
completed history. Existing migration execution runs concurrent index
creation outside a transaction.

TonioandClaude Fable 5.1 341b622604 feat(ui): Artifacts V1 behind an experimental setting — Artifacts page, panel tab and task thread (#17228)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents produce artifacts: documents, files, pictures, video and
links. The app shows them on the Artifacts page, in the right panel's
Artifacts tab and in the task thread
> - The artifact directions lab (#17213) settled a presentation for
those surfaces, MVP V1, drawn from the PCLP-Core mocks. It is a
reference, not product code
> - Shipping it means product components on product data, token-only,
behind a switch, one surface at a time, so the current presentation
stays the default until the new one has been used
> - This pull request adds the switch (Settings > Experimental >
Artifacts V1), the `--artifact-*` tokens, the V1 primitives as product
components, and the V1 presentation on all three surfaces behind the
switch: the Artifacts page, the panel's Artifacts tab and the task
thread
> - The benefit is the redesign in the product, reversible by one
setting, with every existing behaviour of those surfaces kept

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This section follows the feature request
template; the plan is `doc/plans/2026-10-22-artifacts-mvp-v1.md`.

**Subsystem affected**

The web UI (`ui/`): the Artifacts page, the right panel's Artifacts tab
and the task thread. The experimental settings contract in
`packages/shared` and `server` gains one boolean.

**Problem or motivation**

The three artifact surfaces grew separately and their artifact
presentation is dated and inconsistent. The lab produced a measured
direction; nothing in the product uses it yet.

**Proposed solution**

An experimental setting, `enableArtifactsV1`, default off, with the same
plumbing as the other experimental settings. Product primitives under
`ui/src/components/artifacts/v1` (kind helpers and adapters, the sheet
and print artwork, the stack, the page tiles with the Paper Mono pill,
the row the panel and thread will share), driven by `--artifact-*`
tokens in `index.css` with light and dark values. With the setting on:
the Artifacts page shows one row of views (Tasks, All files, Images,
Videos, Documents, Text, Files) and the V1 tiles, a task with several
artifacts as a stack whose newest artifact is the first page, everything
else as single tiles; the panel's Artifacts tab is one flat list of V1
rows, newest first, with the expandable rows (Markdown review surface,
document annotations, deep links) keeping their behaviour behind the row
as their face; the thread shows a message's files as rows under its
footer and registered deliverables and documents as one row each. The
hover movement respects reduced motion.

**Alternatives considered**

Replacing the current cards outright: no fallback and three surfaces to
land at once. Mounting the lab's components: they are typed on lab
fixtures and keep lab-local tokens, which the token gates reject. The
primitives were ported instead and the lab stays a reference.

**Roadmap alignment**

Supports the "Artifacts & Work Products" theme in `ROADMAP.md`.
Presentation only; no data model change.

**Additional context**

No new API fields: the tiles show title, identifier, count and "Updated
…"; rows take sizes from the work-product and attachment payloads; a
picture's aspect ratio comes from the loaded image, 4:3 until it loads.
The plan records what each surface keeps and what it drops (run sections
in the panel; the "Images · N / Files · N" labels and the four-up grid
in the thread).

## What Changed

- Add the `enableArtifactsV1` experimental setting: shared type,
validator and feature catalog, server defaults and managed keys, the
`useArtifactsV1Enabled` hook, and the Settings > Experimental toggle (in
its alphabetical place).
- Add the `--artifact-*` tokens and the Artifacts V1 component rules to
`ui/src/index.css`: light values on `:root`, dark overrides, and the
hover movement under `prefers-reduced-motion: no-preference`.
- Add `ui/src/components/artifacts/v1/`: `kinds.ts` (kind treatment,
labels, glyphs, the server's media-kind rule, adapters from
`CompanyArtifact`), `geometry.ts` (the measured constants), `when.ts`,
`ArtifactSheet`, `ArtifactPrint`, `ArtifactStack`, `ArtifactFront`,
`ArtifactTile` (stack and single tiles, caption, grid), `ArtifactRow`
(the row and its inline group), `ArtifactsV1Filters`, with the mock's
SVG assets.
- Wire the Artifacts page: with the setting on, the toolbar's filter row
becomes the V1 views and the grid renders V1 tiles; the toolbar takes an
optional `filters` row for this. The old cards and kind filters stay the
default.
- Wire the panel's Artifacts tab (`IssuePropertiesArtifactsTab`): with
the setting on, one flat list of V1 rows, newest first; `DocumentRow`
and `MarkdownWorkProductRow` take a `face` render prop so the V1 row
fronts their unchanged expansion, review and deep-link behaviour;
`PanelFileRow` opens attachments and attachment-backed work products the
way the shipped card does (gallery, text tab, new tab) with open and
download beside the name; other work products are a link row with their
status.
- Wire the task thread: `TaskChatBubble` hangs a message's files under
its footer as V1 rows inline (pictures and video to the gallery, text to
a text tab, files to a new tab) in place of the media grid and file
chips; `TaskChatProtocolCard`'s resource rows render deliverables,
documents and attachments as one V1 row each, opening where the card
did.
- `ArtifactRow` keeps trailing controls beside its own control (no
nested interactive elements) and can be a link, an in-app anchor, a
new-tab anchor or a button; adapters read work products, documents,
attachments and message references.
- Add a catalogued Storybook story, `Components/Artifact V1 primitives`,
under `documents-artifacts`, on fixtures.
- Add tests: the primitives (kinds, dates, print fitting, tiles, rows),
the hook, the Artifacts page, the panel's Artifacts tab, the task-chat
bubble and the protocol card, each with the setting on and off; the
settings page and server tests list the new key.
- Add `doc/plans/2026-10-22-artifacts-mvp-v1.md`.

## Verification

- Run `cd ui && pnpm typecheck`: the Storybook catalog accepts the new
story, and `tsc -b` is clean apart from the five pre-existing
`PluginOrganizationSwitcher` errors.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates` and `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`: clean.
- Run `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/artifacts
src/components/issue-properties
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatBubble.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatBubble.artifactsV1.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatProtocolCard.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatProtocolCard.artifactsV1.test.tsx
src/pages/Artifacts.test.tsx src/hooks/useArtifactsV1Enabled.test.ts
src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx`: the suites pass (151
tests in the last run).
- Run `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run src/feature-catalog.test.ts`
and `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts`: pass.
- Manual: open Settings > Experimental, turn on Artifacts V1. On the
Artifacts page the view row reads Tasks, All files, Images, Videos,
Documents, Text, Files; tasks with several artifacts show as stacks,
hovering fans the pages and lifts the artwork (not under reduced
motion); Images shows single tiles with bordered prints. Open a task's
Artifacts tab: one list of rows, newest first; a Markdown work product
still expands into its review surface, a document still opens in its
tab. In the thread, a message's files sit under its footer as rows. Turn
the setting off: everything returns to the current presentation.
- Storybook: `Tasks and conversations / Documents, attachments, and work
products / Components / Artifact V1 primitives`.
- Not run: the full `pnpm test:run` and `pnpm build` (CI runs them), and
a browser pass against a dev instance with real artifacts on the three
surfaces; that pass is the remaining step before this leaves draft.

## Risks

- Off by default; with the setting off, the only changes on a product
path are an optional `filters` prop on the toolbar, an optional `face`
prop on two panel rows, a read of the setting in the bubble and the
protocol card, and the new token declarations.
- With the setting on, the Artifacts page's view tabs set two URL
parameters (`groupBy`, `kind`) at once; the group-by menu and search are
unchanged.
- A picture with unknown dimensions renders at 4:3 until it loads, then
the print refits once; the frame's height is fixed so nothing below it
moves.
- About thirty new `--artifact-*` tokens, namespaced and documented in
place.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5.1 by Anthropic, model ID `claude-fable-5-1`, used
through Claude Code in the desktop app. Extended reasoning was on.
Capabilities used: tool use (shell, file edits, a headless Playwright
browser for the lab's measurements, the Figma MCP server for the mocks
during the lab work) and image input. The context window is the Claude
Code session's; its exact size is not surfaced to the session.

DottaandPaperclip 3ce8d976a9 Add experimental Paperclip Notebook MCP connection (#16984)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip connects agents to external tools through saved accounts
and per-action permissions.
> - Notebook exposes artifact management through an ordinary remote MCP
server with OAuth.
> - A private pilot needs a hidden, default-off catalog and execution
gate.
> - Local file publishing belongs to Notebook, which can accept bounded
file bytes through ordinary MCP tools.
> - Paperclip therefore needs the connector registration and generic
availability checks, with no file-transfer architecture.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Apps catalog, experimental feature metadata, connection setup, and
connector availability.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need to connect Notebook as their Cloud account, assign its tools
to agents, and retain Paperclip's normal Allowed / Ask first / Off
rules. The private pilot must remain hidden until an operator enables
it. Notebook should own its upload protocol and local publishing script.

**Proposed solution**

Register a personal remote MCP OAuth connection at Notebook's canonical
endpoint. Reuse existing OAuth discovery, credential storage, refresh,
reconnect, and removal. Enforce availability through generic catalog
feature metadata and saved application identity. Keep Notebook's
standalone uploader in its own service repository; it calls the ordinary
gateway and receives no saved OAuth credential.

**Alternatives considered**

A gallery-only filter permits retained tools and deep links while
disabled. A shared workspace publisher and private upload-ticket
transport add runtime behavior that a normal MCP connector does not
require. Notebook can receive file bytes directly through its own tools
instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Connected Apps and supports Artifacts and Work Products.
ROADMAP.md and related PRs were checked. This PR is standalone on
master. The separate OAuth lifecycle and file-transfer proposals (#17085
and #17086) are closed and are not dependencies.

## What Changed

- Register Notebook's personal MCP OAuth method, canonical endpoint,
scopes, catalog metadata, and branding.
- Declare managed `enablePaperclipNotebook` with false defaults and no
user-facing settings toggle or staging opt-in.
- Use generic availability metadata for gallery/setup, retained
connection identity, OAuth completion, health, tool/context discovery,
and dispatch. Resources/prompts recheck before credentials, including
retained handles. Removal remains available while disabled.
- Resolve catalog application identity from the saved application key,
so editable connection labels cannot bypass the hidden gate.
- Select a method's sole supported credential kind when no kind is
supplied.
- Keep UI changes to metadata-driven availability and existing
setup/reconnect controls.
- Document Notebook's service-owned upload script, inline publication,
ordinary action policies, and credential behavior.
- Add ordinary MCP OAuth, assignment, action-policy, disabled-state,
settings, and catalog tests.

No workspace contribution registry, private transfer endpoint, native
publisher, Runner file-reader change, or Paperclip CLI upload command is
included. The entire native-runtime and CLI trees match master. Upload
code lives in `paperclip-cloud/notebook/`.

## Verification

Source head: `65ef741e4f476c67425b57d2fb2d6d4c00e99b06`, directly on
master `53732c811bb69655eb43d3d12f2063ae4ca5ad67`. The diff is 42 files.
Shared execution changes only enforce generic catalog availability; tool
access also resolves saved application identity and the sole supported
credential kind. Neither module contains Notebook upload logic.

- Catalog/shared/settings/UI suites: 592 tests passed across 12 files.
Shared/server/UI typechecks passed using installed compilers.
- Fresh real PostgreSQL generic MCP suite: 84/84 passed at final source;
server typecheck and module boundaries pass. Coverage includes personal
OAuth, ordinary refresh/reconnect, assignments, Allowed / Ask first /
Off, hidden feature enforcement, and local credential removal. Four new
resources/prompts cases failed against the prior code and pass after
filtering saved application identity and rechecking before credentials.
They prove missing/relabelled setup markers and stale eligibility cannot
dispatch or read secrets while disabled; an ordinary provider remains
available with the flag off.
- The full tool-access service suite passed 463/464 cases. One unchanged
Google Workspace `slides.write` case timed out at 15 seconds; it passed
on one isolated retry without source or timeout changes. Its exact test
block matches master. The cause is not established; final-head CI must
qualify the complete suite.
- Maps, module boundaries, token gates, and whitespace checks passed.
Byte comparisons confirm the former transfer/runtime/CLI surfaces match
master.
- Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved findings after
an exhaustive feedback audit. Current-head CI workflow
[39625691137](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39625691137)
succeeded, including both required checks (`ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`),
Build, and browser E2E. Supplementary security/advisory scan status is
recorded in the PR Checks panel and qualification receipt; prior-head
scans are not counted. The superseded `4bd7af9b2e` completed CI
successfully, but Greptile found the valid resources/prompts
availability gap described above. It was fixed, replied to, and
resolved; earlier-head results do not qualify this revision.

Preserved environment failures: the first socket-restricted UI/route run
had 93 listener setup failures, and the same 93 cases passed with
local-socket access. The package-manager launcher could not fetch its
signature metadata; installed compilers passed without dependency or
configuration changes. The full service timeout and isolated retry
remain recorded separately. The superseded `585e870e73` CI also failed
an unchanged agent-chat project-plan revision assertion after task
creation; the complete spec and relevant runtime sources match master,
and a same-master prior run passed. Its cause is not established. Logs
are preserved; no test or timeout was weakened and no old-head rerun was
requested. The subsequent heads run full CI independently; no prior-head
pass substitutes for current qualification.

The Notebook uploader requires a separate service release. This public
PR adds no uploader runtime to Paperclip and claims no newly deployed
browser/agent acceptance. The Notebook-owned upload path is qualified
separately. Code-owner review remains required before merge.

## Risks

- The feature flag gates the curated connector; it does not create a
Notebook service-side team allowlist or block arbitrary standard MCP
URLs.
- Publishing, sharing, and deletion retain the existing assignment and
action-policy boundaries.
- The hidden feature must be checked for retained tools and saved
identity, including when connection labels change.
- Disconnect removes local credentials. It does not revoke the remote
Notebook authorization; the owner can revoke it in Notebook.
- Ordinary refresh uses the existing client. A lost response after
refresh-token rotation can require reconnect.
- The standalone Notebook script and its bounded upload tools must ship
together in the Notebook service before that documented convenience path
is available.
- No database schema, workflow, lockfile, shared transfer, or Runner
change is included. No merge, deployment, or rollout is performed by
this update.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and tool use. The runtime did not expose a more specific
model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip c6ee96a3df fix: stop idle MCP event polling (#17036)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - MCP task subscriptions and Dot mailboxes notify external clients
when work changes.
> - Their delivery workers queried SQL every two seconds, including when
no work existed.
> - Those queries prevent idle databases from becoming quiet across many
hosted instances.
> - Existing activity, mailbox, subscription, and delivery records
already preserve the work.
> - This pull request uses committed-write signals and saved retry
deadlines to drive delivery.
> - Idle subscriptions become quiet while startup, retry, drain, and
shutdown recovery remain supported.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related sleep migrations: #15625, #17000, #17008. Searched open PRs and
issues for MCP event sleep/polling work; no duplicate found.

**What happened?**

Each public MCP and Dot event service started a two-second interval. It
checked settings, scanned subscriptions, created delivery receipts,
cleaned expired records, and attempted delivery even without changes.

**Expected behavior**

An empty or subscribed-but-idle service produces no recurring SQL or
network traffic. Committed events trigger prompt delivery. Only
unfinished work retains a retry deadline.

**Steps to reproduce**

Configure a public MCP origin and start the server. Observe recurring
settings queries with MCP disabled, or subscription/queue queries with
it enabled. No incoming task changes are required.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Initially inspected master at
`8b4ab65b1c3d863d282752e83307943720a5c85c`; rebased onto `c2daf906d9`
after master advanced. The only conflict was overlapping imports in the
heartbeat queue; both were preserved.

## What Changed

- Register separate MCP and Dot workers with the existing delivery
coordinator. Remove both unconditional intervals.
- Notify from committed activity, comment, mailbox, subscription, and
experimental-settings writes. Centralize comment insertion in one small
helper so normal callers do not manage recovery state.
- Preserve outer transaction ownership, uncertainty reconciliation, and
requests deferred during drain or standby.
- Restore delivery retry/abandoned-claim deadlines on startup. Scan
subscriptions in pages of 20; drain full source and delivery batches
without another external event. Scope subscription refreshes to their
subscription or shared Dot binding, issue activity to its task, comment
discovery to its company, and mailbox/assignment changes to their
binding. Retry deadlines do not rescan unchanged sources.
- Run expired-record cleanup opportunistically. Preserve on-use expiry
checks and the existing one-time automatic Dot challenge behavior.
- Add real PostgreSQL lifecycle coverage and guarded external test
database options for existing MCP/Dot integrations. Document producers
and the supported writer model.

## Verification

- Final head `e54fb34485921016ef988f7df9cca173a9ebdfc8`: all CI checks
passed (55 successful checks/statuses, one neutral review, two
intentionally skipped Storybook checks). Mergeable with no unresolved
review threads. Greptile: 5/5 on this exact commit; security scan
passed.
- All 284 affected tests passed in one local run after rebasing: 16
real-PostgreSQL lifecycle tests, 24 coordinator/scheduler/standby tests,
84 public MCP tests, 54 Dot runner tests, and 106 interaction-service
tests.
- Server TypeScript passed after refreshing generated Runner/plugin SDK
dependencies from master. Full workspace typecheck and build passed
before the rebase; final CI repeated typecheck and build successfully on
the rebased head.
- Coverage includes SQL/network quiet with configuration and history,
committed writes, outer commit/rollback, drain/standby, retry
restoration, reenable/unsubscribe, concurrent writes, shutdown,
source/delivery/subscription batch boundaries, Dot challenges and
reconnects, native broker fences, comment discovery, and
company-isolated scans.
- CI exposed an existing lock-order test whose insert proxy missed
nested transactions and waited indefinitely. The fixture now observes
nested inserts, preserves the lock assertion, and fails explicitly if
interception is missed. The complete 106-test interaction suite and the
formerly hanging CI shard pass. The warm-standby/settings test doubles
were also updated for the new coordinator/transaction boundaries.
- Earlier fixture failures (required timestamps, cleanup, external
database selection, async waits) were corrected. One existing OAuth
first-poll timing assertion and one E2E company-cleanup race passed on
single reruns; the final full CI run passed without a rerun. No OAuth or
company-deletion behavior was changed.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` attempt could not initialize embedded
PostgreSQL after five attempts. It was stopped; affected integrations
were verified with separate disposable PostgreSQL 17 databases, and
final CI supplied the full-suite result. Embedded-only local skips are
not counted as passes.

## Risks

- Notifications use one live server/database scope. Independent SQL
writers and separate live replicas do not trigger these process-local
workers. Startup recovers durable state; continuous multi-writer
discovery needs a notification/ingress contract.
- Idle physical cleanup waits for startup or another enabled sweep.
Subscription and authorization expiry remain enforced on use.
- Existing delivery claims, retry bounds, signatures, and receipt
deduplication remain in place. No new tables or migrations.
- Host sleep-safety checks remain conservative. MCP/Dot retry deadlines
are not yet covered by Paperclip Cloud's scheduled-wake contract. This
proves worker quiet, not deployed host suspension or fleet savings.

## Model Used

DottaandPaperclip fc0d390d98 fix: enforce Cloud-enabled features on every managed stack (#16953)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Cloud sets managed feature values for each tenant stack.
> - Staging lets admins change experimental features.
> - The staging exception also let old tenant false values override
Cloud true values.
> - This could disable required features such as isolated workspaces.
> - This pull request keeps every Cloud-enabled feature on and rejects
attempts to disable it.
> - The same rule applies to staging, production, and managed stacks
without a hostname.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #16876

**What happened?**

The staging override added in #16876 treats managed true values as
editable defaults. A stored tenant false value can disable a feature
that Cloud enables. Settings writes also accept attempts to disable
Cloud-enabled features.

**Expected behavior**

If Cloud sets a feature to true, the tenant reads true and cannot turn
it off. This applies to every managed stack. Staging can still change
allowed experiments that Cloud has not enabled.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Set a managed staging primary hostname and enable isolated workspaces
in `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`.
2. Start with `enableIsolatedWorkspaces: false` in the tenant settings
row.
3. Read `/api/instance/settings/experimental`. Before this fix, staging
returns false.
4. Try to PATCH that flag to false. After this fix, the API returns 403
without saving, and reads return true with managed control metadata.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `cde944ed75648adfb569e86133adc8b118b55dd6`.

## What Changed

- Keep managed true values in the staging read overlay. They override
old tenant values and lock the existing UI controls.
- Reject attempts to set any Cloud-enabled feature to false before
writing settings.
- Cover every managed feature in service tests across staging,
production, and an absent hostname. Add real-service HTTP tests for
isolation on staging and production.
- Update operator documentation and the feature and access maps.

## Verification

- Confirmed the new service regression fails before the fix: staging
returns stored false, and writes can attempt to disable enabled flags.
- Passed all six focused settings suites: 168 tests. Passed the final
route and overlay suites after adding the HTTP regression: 109 tests.
- Passed existing experimental settings UI tests: 54 tests. These cover
the existing managed-control behavior.
- Passed `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check`.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. The first typecheck used
an install that did not honor locked versions and hit an unrelated
`@pierre/diffs` API mismatch. Reinstalling from the lockfile resolved
it; no lockfile changes are included.
- Full CI passed on `f43136812a92ec838a24f0c423270e4fbd997c28`: 55
successful checks, one neutral review check, and two expected skips.
This includes typecheck, build, general and serialized tests, runner
checks, and E2E shards. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39411907756).
- The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the complete CI
matrix passed. It is not counted as a completed local full-suite pass.
- Greptile reviewed `f43136812a92ec838a24f0c423270e4fbd997c28`: 5/5 with
no outstanding findings. The only finding on the first review was the
repository rule against new code comments; those comments were removed.

## Risks

- Staging users can no longer disable a feature that Cloud enables. This
is the intended behavior.
- Clients that send a stale full settings form containing false for a
Cloud-enabled feature receive 403 and must reload.
- No database migration is needed. Stored false values remain in the
database, but cannot override an active Cloud true value.
- Cloud-disabled staging experiments remain editable. Production
restrictions and self-hosted settings remain unchanged.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, repository tools, and
test execution. The context window size is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9077748894 Remove the Pipelines experiment and preserve its data (#16834)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Pipelines was an unused experiment with its own UI, API, CLI, and
automation.
> - Keeping it leaves unsupported product surfaces and extra task-detail
queries.
> - Removing the experiment must preserve data that users already saved.
> - This pull request removes the feature and keeps its database schema
and migration history.
> - Cases and Routines remain available as separate features.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Remove the unused Pipelines experiment across the application.

**Current behavior**

The experiment includes pipeline boards, stage settings, case
automation, review queues, learnings, permissions, and CLI commands.
Task detail also queries pipeline links.

**Proposed behavior**

Remove all these product surfaces and their implementation. Preserve
existing tables, records, and documents. Ignore the retired boolean in
older managed configurations so upgrades still start.

**Breaking changes**

Pipeline URLs, API endpoints, CLI commands, and `pipelines:write` are
removed. Task detail no longer includes the old `linkedCases` field. The
independent Cases API remains available. No database migration or
cleanup is included.

Related feature work: #7907, #9110, #10905, #11375, #13004, #14671,
#16133. Related issues: #9663, #10310, #10312. This removal supersedes
the feature; it does not implement those pending enhancements or delete
their saved data.

## What Changed

- Remove Pipeline UI pages, navigation, gates, clients, query keys,
helpers, and unused design tokens.
- Remove Pipeline REST routes, services, automation dispatch,
task-detail queries, and OpenAPI discovery.
- Remove the CLI commands, shared contracts, experimental flag, catalog
entry, and permission defaults.
- Remove feature-specific tests, tutorials, smoke scripts, maps, and
Storybook examples.
- Preserve database schema, migration history, and the reserved document
key used by old records.
- Keep Cases routes independent and cover obsolete stored and managed
settings.

## Verification

- Passed: `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Passed: targeted settings, managed configuration, sidebar, settings
UI, routing, and feature-catalog tests. A first sidebar run caught a
shared Workspaces icon import; the import was restored and the sidebar
rerun passed.
- Passed: 40 tests covering Cases routes, OpenAPI discovery, retained
Pipeline table constraints, and schema snapshot drift.
- Passed: token gates, map validation, generated API metadata check,
Storybook catalog validation, and 28 map/catalog tests.
- Passed: isolated local browser verification of navigation and
Experimental settings with Pipelines absent; Cases and Routines still
open normally. Live GET/POST requests to retired Pipeline endpoints
return 404, and the retired setting is absent. CLI help has no Pipeline
commands.
- Passed: 22 access-service and agent-default-grant tests after
restoring unrelated permission assertions flagged in review.
- Local full run: `pnpm test:run` reported one failure in the unchanged
workspace-runtime port-allocation test. That test passed in an isolated
rerun. The long local run was stopped after full CI passed; it is not
reported as a complete local pass.
- Passed: all 56 checks on `def9181f3a4491d95fca1d38e9739f5b821aae3e` (2
conditional checks skipped), including build, typecheck, test shards,
and browser suites. Eleven interrupted CI jobs reported “The operation
was canceled”; their one-time retry passed. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39255211006).
- Greptile: 5/5 on the final commit, with the only review finding fixed
and resolved.
- Sandbox socket restrictions affected the first build/API test
attempts. The same commands ran with local sockets available.

## Risks

- Existing Pipeline clients must stop using the removed endpoints and
commands.
- Existing data remains in the database and backups, but the removed UI
no longer displays it.
- Historical boolean `enablePipelines` values are ignored. They cannot
restore the feature.
- Cases and Routines must retain their separate behavior. Targeted route
tests cover this boundary.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, editing, shell
execution, and browser verification. The exact deployed model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip b8ffeb973a feat(runner): add experimental Grok Bot agent participation (#16219)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work for a company.
> - The shared Runner owns task admission, authority, receipts and
finalization.
> - An existing Grok Bot needs to receive assignments and return results
through that Runner.
> - The Bot also needs governed access when it starts work from its own
conversation.
> - This PR adds agent-purpose MCP access and routine webhook dispatch.
> - It reuses the external-agent Rust Runner and keeps Grok capabilities
explicit.
> - The provider stays experimental until the real-client managed
journeys pass.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Agent or provider**
Grok Bot, distinct from the Grok Build coding runtime in #13882.

**Why this adapter is useful**
Users can assign work to an existing Bot, receive progress, questions,
documents and files in Paperclip, and let the Bot initiate work under
its agent permissions.

**How the agent is invoked**
A webhook-only routine delivers bounded references. Dedicated
named-agent OAuth and MCP provide inbound calls. Setup follows [Grok
routines](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/routines) and [custom
plugins](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/connect-plugins). The current
desktop app needs its Bot-generated Webhook URL navigation link when
routine-row clicks fail.

The GitHub search found related Grok Build runtime work, but no existing
Grok Bot agent provider. This extends the roadmap’s existing agent,
Runner, governance and artifact foundations.

## What Changed

- Add default-off Grok Bot participation through the shared real Rust
external backend, preserving native provider identity guarantees and
distinguishing session closure from remote termination.
- Bind agent OAuth to company, agent, client, gateway and authorizer;
recheck permissions and task-bound execution authority without
manufacturing a native identity.
- Persist routine configuration, dispatch intents, authenticated
acknowledgement and recovery holds. Store URL/key together in encrypted
secret storage, use guarded public egress, and never automatically
replay ambiguous HTTP delivery.
- Reuse native tools, durable waiting, completion assessment and review.
Add task-bound file grants through existing artifact storage; suppress
proactive echo dispatch and synchronous result wake loops.
- Enforce the current native deliverable work-mode policy at file-ticket
issuance and use. Add operator retries for confirmed rejected wakes,
with retained receipts, stable retry intent and current-authority
checks. Recovery locks bindings before routine rows. Thread Stop
resolves the selected run and its agent.
- Cancel queued and preparing Stop targets before assignment creation,
restore saved setup after a failed request and successful retry, and
publish the Grok provider descriptor schema. Advance the versioned
Copilot source declaration for the shared schema change; its
qualification remains pending.
- Filter task summaries with the shared privacy policy, preserve
feedback admission when wake delivery is blocked, reconcile settled
delivery receipts without restoring work authority, and bind every Stop
control to its displayed run. Recovery records distinguish dispatch
uncertainty from a revoked session.
- Add resumable guided setup, credential replacement, consent,
management, observed work status and stop/recovery controls, plus an
interactive Storybook journey using the production task thread, question
form and report card. Grok’s own apps remain available; Paperclip
workspace and third-party tools are deferred.

## Verification

- Five focused protocol, authorization, person MCP and Runner files: 192
tests pass. The Grok assigned-work case executes the actual Rust Runner,
saves a document, uploads/deduplicates a file and reaches ordinary
finalization.
- Proactive intake/deduplication and renewed-session recovery pass.
These use scripted clients and synthetic storage; they are not
real-provider acceptance.
- Repository typecheck, production build, token gates, map checks and
Storybook build/catalog checks pass. The local full-suite campaign was
stopped after macOS shared-memory exhaustion repeatedly prevented
embedded PostgreSQL startup. No local aggregate pass is claimed. The
first clean-worker CI run identified avatar fixture/configuration, flag
defaults, feature-card ordering and OpenAPI route-coverage gaps; all
four focused regressions pass after correction. Those regressions pass.
The latest clean-worker CI run also found a Copilot source-hash
declaration mismatch after the shared descriptor update; the corrected
declaration passes all 28 integrity tests. The next review corrections
pass 144 rendered UI tests, 21 OpenAPI tests and 82 Runner
contract/integrity/history tests. The latest database fixtures were
blocked at startup by host shared-memory exhaustion; clean-worker CI
must execute their new regressions. Full current-head CI now passes: 54
successful checks and four intentional skips. The database regression
uses the PostgreSQL driver result shape; file-policy, rejected-feedback
and lock-order cases pass on clean workers. Current-head Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved findings.
- Rendered setup steps and outbound-only verification were walked
through in Storybook. Simulation cannot enable Done without an
authenticated-reply state.
- Actual client OAuth, continued access, reconnect and one routine wake
with an exact chat acknowledgement were observed separately. This
candidate’s live authenticated challenge, assigned/proactive workflows,
Linux managed artifact, restart and cleanup are not yet qualified. The
provider stays disabled by default.
- The separate Cloud ingress change forwards only exact task-bound
upload/download paths and preserves host identity and header stripping.
- Current Cloud policy reserves Test for pre-merge app/harness
experiments; Staging accepts only master-derived revisions. Real-client
qualification needs a supported, authorized deployment target and
remains outstanding.

## Risks

One append-only migration adds routine/dispatch state and extends shared
bindings and file tickets. The unshipped migrations were regenerated
after upstream consumed their original numbers. Rolling back code
retains the durable rows; revoke grants and inspect unknown remote
activity before resuming dispatch. Grok cannot confirm remote
termination, stream its complete transcript or report spending. Plugins
are account-wide and do not isolate credentials between Bots.
Real-client managed acceptance remains required before enabling the
experimental provider.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6, with reasoning, code execution and
browser/native UI tools. The exact deployment model ID and
context-window size are not exposed by this runtime.

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.

## 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.

DottaandPaperclip dd777f4b73 feat(dot): complete onboarding and expand governed Runner capabilities (#15414)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents, their work, and their permissions.
> - Paperclip Runner supplies the same admitted tool authority to each
provider.
> - The Dot provider in #15402 needs reliable onboarding and useful
agent capabilities.
> - An idle Dot could not start work, assign a human, read skills, or
produce a workspace artifact.
> - Pairing also relied on a second configuration save before ordinary
admission could work.
> - This pull request adds governed idle admission and shared Runner
tools, and completes pairing atomically.
> - Operators can test Dot with fresh data while keeping normal company,
approval, budget, and run ownership checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Paperclip Runner, dedicated Dot MCP access, OAuth onboarding,
experimental settings, and empty worktree startup. This PR builds on
merged provider PR #15402. It reuses the merged MCP gateway from #14846
and assistant connection work from #14933 and #15380.

**Problem or motivation**

An idle Dot could see assignments but could not act on a conversation
request until someone created a task first. Its Runner catalog could not
assign tasks to humans or read pinned skills and workspace files.
First-time OAuth discovery and pairing also needed browser fixes, and a
completed pairing did not persist its binding reference on the agent.

**Proposed solution**

Keep Dot within the existing Runner. Admit a visible agent-authored
intake task for idle requests. Add people, human assignment, cross-task,
skill, and optional sandbox workspace tools through shared authority.
Relay assigned app calls through the configured MCP gateway. Add lease
renewal and follow-up references. Save pairing and its configuration
revision atomically. Show prerequisites and provide a complete copy
prompt.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental provider in #15402. It uses the existing
governed gateway, task model, skills, artifact path, and native Runner.
It adds no separate execution subsystem.

## What Changed

- Add a standalone OpenAI Dot agent choice with an independent
experimental opt-in. It works with the general Runner option off.
Require Assistant connections (MCP), authenticated sign-in, and public
HTTPS for pairing.
- Use Dot’s own option for company package import. Allow an unpaired Dot
configuration to save after external billing acknowledgement; task
admission still requires pairing. Prepare the shared dev binary for
Dot-only opt-in.
- Label saved Dot agents as OpenAI Dot. Use prerequisite-check copy in
setup and runtime configuration.
- Route Dot creation directly to pairing after explicit external billing
acknowledgement. Hide local CLI, model, and harness setup for Dot.
Preserve the shared Runner implementation and canonical API type. Other
Runner providers still require their general opt-in.
- Add an empty worktree option with fresh signing keys and no production
data copy.
- Fix public-client OAuth negotiation, discovery compatibility, and
optional separate browser authorization origin.
- Add one-use pairing consent preview, clear copied setup instructions,
and atomic binding persistence and cleanup.
- Add idle request admission with stable request IDs and normal
scheduling, permissions, budgets, and task ownership.
- Add identity and people discovery, human task assignment and
reassignment, and authorized cross-task comments and documents.
- Read assigned skill files from pinned manifests. Relay assigned app
calls through the merged gateway without exposing credentials.
- Add an off-by-default workspace bridge. Constrain paths and writes.
Run commands in a deny-by-default OS sandbox with no network or injected
credentials. Reserve mutations before effects and never blindly repeat
uncertain work.
- Add rolling lease renewal, task pagination, bounded operation limits,
and deduplicated follow-up references without comment bodies in
webhooks.
- Add an off-by-default attachment reading setting. Restrict reads to
files on the current assigned task. Verify size and hash, cache bounded
verified copies per run, paginate text or binary bytes, and recheck live
authority before returning.
- Keep file grants operator-owned. Reject agent self-grants across
configuration routes. Preserve attachment consent in create/import
forms. Close generic API file bypasses while retaining current-run
response snapshots and permitted uploads.
- Keep provider limits explicit. Do not inherit a Dot binding,
attachment permission, or workspace permission when hiring another
agent.
- Include the required Markdown format in cross-task document writes and
validate the API title limit. Verify real creation and revision
persistence.
- Restrict command execution to Linux bubblewrap with descendant
containment. macOS retains workspace file tools and artifact publishing,
while refusing command calls. Explain the platform limit in setup.
- Exclude Paperclip instance state from workspace files, uploads,
artifact publication, and sandbox commands. Protect nested directories
and case variants. Fail closed when the directory protection scan
exceeds 4,096 directories.
- Add static UI compression for slow public tunnels. Document setup, the
complete tool inventory, and qualification limits.

## Verification

- Merge preparation on `00ca2c75b` integrates merged base #15402 and
master `fc6304dfe`. The ancestry commit preserves the reviewed follow-up
source tree. The subsequent security fix excludes instance state from
file tools, uploads, artifact publication, and sandbox commands. It
preserves private task authorization and task monitors. It regenerates
the combined tool catalog, seeded catalog digest, and protocol manifest.
Workspace typecheck, full build, and UI token gates pass. All sixteen
real Dot broker cases and 93 company import cases pass after the review
fixes and creator-attribution test correction. The exported
human-assignment catalog and Unicode page boundaries are also fixed. All
ten catalog tests and nine workspace/skill bridge tests pass. All 35
workspace bridge and authority tests passed after the instance-state
fix, including real macOS commands in that intermediate version. The
subsequent document and descendant-containment fixes pass 44 focused
tests across bridge, authority, and setup UI, with six Linux command
cases skipped on macOS. Real cross-task documents pass the route
validator and persist two revisions. macOS refuses command execution and
does not advertise the tool. Full workspace typecheck and build, changed
server/UI typechecks, and token gates pass again on the final commit.
Greptile rates final head 00ca2c75b 5/5 and its completed check
concludes success; all review threads are resolved. All 58 current-head
checks are complete: 54 passed and 4 intentionally skipped. This
includes full tests, typecheck, build, Runner, browser E2E, release
verification, and Canary Dry Run. The older full local root attempt
finished with 16,602 passes, 93 skips, and ten failures across two
suites: it began before source edits and retained earlier imported
implementations while loading later tests. Both suites pass a clean
final-head rerun (25 passed, six Linux-only command cases skipped on
macOS). This mixed-source full attempt is not a final-head full-suite
pass; use the fresh CI evidence below.
- Full workspace typecheck and build pass for the standalone Dot change
on head `392d54f80`. UI token gates are clean. The full workspace
typecheck passed before the final importer UI edit; the changed UI
typecheck, build, and token gates pass again on the final commit. The
server build passes for its unchanged final source.
- Standalone selection, creation, settings, harness visibility,
inventory, and runtime admission checks pass. OAuth onboarding and the
real Rust/PostgreSQL broker suite pass 27 cases with the general Runner
option disabled. Dot and MCP revocation still block pairing; other
Runner providers remain disabled. Create, hire, conversion, and
inherited-hire route regressions pass 68 cases. The runtime selection
suite passes 20 cases. The setup UI suite passes 50 cases. Company
import and dev binary checks pass 97 cases. Import UI checks pass 29
cases, including Dot-only selection, preservation of imported Dot
agents, generic Runner fallback, canonical configuration serialization,
and required billing acknowledgement. A read of the synthetic instance
reports the native binary required with Dot enabled, the general rollout
disabled, and no persisted native work.
- The latest attachment, operator-consent, generic API file-guard, and
bridge checks pass 80 tests. Cache and native lifecycle checks pass 550
tests; create/import builders pass 45 tests; attachment setup UI checks
pass 16 tests. The real Rust/PostgreSQL Dot broker suite passes 15
cases.
- Earlier authority, human assignment, pinned skill, confinement,
cancellation, inheritance, onboarding, replay, OpenAPI, and gateway
regressions pass their focused rechecks. Workspace writes reject
concurrent stale hashes.
- In the live empty test-drive, turn the general Runner option off and
leave Dot and MCP on. Add agent shows a separate OpenAI Dot choice.
Create rejects missing billing acknowledgement, saves the canonical Dot
configuration, and opens pairing. The existing paired Dot remains ready
and passes its prerequisite checks. No new plugin pairing was needed for
this UI change. The final browser import preview keeps a Dot source
agent as OpenAI Dot, falls back a generic Runner agent while its switch
is off, and offers Dot independently.
- Real Dot completed OAuth, signed MCP Events readiness, and an
event-only assigned document task in an empty synthetic instance.
Pairing saved its binding without a second configuration save.
- Real Dot verified human assignment, cross-task comments and documents,
pinned skill reading, sandbox commands, lease renewal, follow-up input,
and a downloaded artifact whose bytes and hash matched its receipt. An
idle conversation request created an intake, created a task for its
human owner, continued after a definite missing-file read error, and
finalized Done with exit code 0.
- After operator approval, real Dot read a synthetic assigned-task
attachment and wrote its file-only random proof into an agent-authored
document. Its first test required accepting review because the existing
document tool removed the final newline.
- On head `2626c8f9b`, real Dot read a 13,849-byte synthetic attachment
in two pages, used `expectedSha256` on page two, saved exactly its final
random marker, verified readback, and finalized Done with exit code 0. A
direct inbox check was required for this attachment qualification; it
does not claim event-only delivery.
- Previous head `392d54f80` passes all 55 checks (53 passed, two
intentionally skipped), including the full test, typecheck, build,
native Runner, browser, and release verification gates. Greptile rates
this head 5/5; all review threads are resolved.
- Head `2626c8f9b` passed all 56 checks: 54 passed and two intentionally
skipped. This includes full typecheck, build, native Runner, server
tests, serialized suites, browser E2E, and Canary Dry Run. The unchanged
Cursor managed-runtime test exceeded its five-second deadline on the
first attempt; its focused local suite passed all eight cases, and the
single CI rerun plus dependent verify gate passed.
- A prior full local serial test attempt reported 19 failures (16,141
passed, 88 skipped) and stopped before later wrapper groups. It began
before the final source edits. Every failed suite has a passing fresh
recheck; the macOS snapshot stress case passes alone in 227 seconds. The
previous head `000fb9261` passed all 56 CI checks. PRs leave
`pnpm-lock.yaml` unchanged; CI and the refresh bot own dependency
resolution.

## Risks

- Dot remains off by default. Its own opt-in does not enable other
Runner providers. It still requires the MCP option; disabling Dot blocks
new work while keeping existing recovery and saved bindings.
- Dot requires a stable public HTTPS origin. Its base provider in #15402
is merged. Temporary tunnels are useful for testing but are not
permanent deployments.
- Idle intake creates a visible agent-authored task. It does not
fabricate a human message or bypass ordinary admission.
- Workspace commands require Linux bubblewrap with a private PID
namespace; deployment qualification is still needed. macOS file tools
and artifact publishing remain available, but commands are disabled
because sandbox-exec does not contain detached descendants. There is no
unrestricted fallback. Command protection fails closed above 4,096
workspace directories. The historical macOS command walkthrough does not
qualify the current Linux implementation.
- Provider model choice, token usage, cost, native thread control, and
global external stopping remain unavailable. Known Paperclip budget
gates still apply.
- The workspace bridge and attachment reader are separate opt-in
settings. Reading assigned task files sends their contents to OpenAI.
Revocation prevents future reads but cannot withdraw bytes already sent.
Files are read on request; automatic inbound attachment staging remains
disabled.
- An existing event registration can retain earlier instructions that
prohibit extra tasks. Dot asked for permission before a second intake
after the final event-only bootstrap; that extra no-nudge continuation
is not live-qualified under that earlier registration. The later
attachment qualification submitted normally through the composer. The
revised onboarding prompt describes the new idle entry point, and its
protocol polling path is tested.
- OpenAI event delivery can be delayed; a webhook acknowledgement is not
proof that Dot has begun work.
- A running Dot can retain an old plugin catalog after tool refresh.
Refresh and actual tool exposure must be checked before using new
top-level actions.
- Hosted and remote controller modes are not qualified.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact deployment ID and context window
size are not exposed in this session. Capabilities used: reasoning,
repository editing, code execution, test inspection, and browser
control.

DottaandPaperclip 22a3ea3414 Invite assistants from Connections with scoped browser and device consent (#14933)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Public MCP lets people use their organization from an external
assistant.
> - Operators need a visible control for this experimental access.
> - Hosted users should select an organization once and then approve its
permissions.
> - This pull request adds the setting, invitation-first setup, and
browser or device consent.
> - Connections provides a copyable invitation with public instructions
that grant no access.
> - Users reach browser consent from their assistant and return to
inspect or revoke access.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged foundation #14846. This PR now targets master. Related
settings convention: #13905.

**Current behavior**

The preview uses an environment variable to enable MCP. Hosted consent
repeats organization selection. Assistant access has no entry in
Connections, so users must already know the endpoint and how to reach
consent.

**Proposed behavior**

An administrator enables Settings → Experimental → Assistant connections
(MCP). A hosted connection shows the selected organization and its icon,
then asks for permissions. Requested write access starts checked when
the user’s role permits it; the user can opt out before connecting.
Direct instance connections show an organization picker with the first
available organization selected. The selection stays fixed across
refetches and still requires an explicit Connect action. Connections
includes Assistant Connection (MCP). Its setup page explains the
canonical endpoint, client configuration, browser authentication, and
connected access. It connects as the current person and does not select
or impersonate an agent.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators manage access with the other experiments. Users select one
organization, and both the UI and server enforce that choice.

**Breaking changes**

The old enable variable has no effect. Preview operators must enable the
setting once. Apply the additive consent-request migration before
deploying the tenant, then deploy the compatible Cloud broker. Existing
direct requests and grants keep their behavior.

## What Changed

- Simplify OAuth and device consent: show the Paperclip logo beside
“Connect {client} to Paperclip”, fall back to “your assistant”, and show
the identifying origin plus its favicon below, with the callback URL
also visible when different. Remove the hosted-organization creation
action. Default to the first available organization without silently
changing it on refetch; preserve company restrictions and write
opt-outs. Keep the button row contained on narrow screens.
- Make Copy invitation the primary action, using the shared animated
AgentSetupPrompt and a collapsed manual setup section with icon-labeled
line tabs. Remove redundant link actions, copy-status text, the extra
first-prompt well and revocation explanation from the setup page. Serve
shared version-aware HTML and Markdown instructions without private
organization data.
- Support guarded Client ID Metadata Documents alongside dynamic
registration, and include authorization response issuer identification.
- Add RFC 8628 device authorization with separately hashed codes,
expiry, shared request quotas, persistent polling backoff and atomic
redemption. Reuse human consent, role checks, scoped grants, audit and
revocation.
- Add CLI device login and a local stdio bridge. Store credentials
separately with private permissions and serialize rotating refreshes.
- Add device consent stories and five cold-start paid Product E2E cases
with independent grant, configuration and durable-work assertions.

- Add `enablePublicMcp` to the settings validator, normalizer, feature
catalog, and toggle UI. Check it live for OAuth, tools, subscriptions,
and event delivery. Keep connection management and revocation available
while disabled.
- Default the MCP origin to the existing auth public URL, with strict
validation and an explicit override.
- Persist the optional OAuth `company_id` restriction. Describe only
that company and reject approval for any other company, even if the
person belongs to both. Keep active-membership and role checks.
- Show the Paperclip icon and a large organization icon during consent.
Return the saved company logo through the company-scoped request
response and reuse the standard fallback icon. Use the requested concise
permission labels: “Read all of your Paperclip data” and “Allow write
access and creating tasks as me”. Use concise permission copy, retain a
compact client and callback-origin disclosure, and remove the footer
link.
- Default requested write access on for eligible roles. Preserve opt-out
across organization changes and refetch, reset defaults for a new
request, and submit read-only access when the request or role does not
allow writes. Align the shared checkbox with its label.
- Use organization wording in consent, management, settings, and
walkthroughs. Keep the organization fixed for hosted requests and retain
direct-instance choice.
- Add an Assistant Connection (MCP) card to the Connectors catalog, a
setup page in the app shell, and a return link from Experimental
settings. Include Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and generic remote MCP
instructions.
- Read the live gate and canonical server URL through authenticated
setup metadata. Show only the current person’s grants for the selected
organization, refresh after consent, and support revocation. Surface
catalog status failures with an explicit retry action; do not present
them as an empty connection list. Opening setup grants no authority.
- Start the eight guided chapters in Connections. Keep presenter notes
and chapter controls around real product pages in the app shell. Explain
the terminal, consent, delegation, retrieval, and revocation handoffs.
Mark conversation examples as illustrative. Cover first use, client
setup, connected, loading, and error states. Keep the existing consent
and management stories.
- Keep the paid-eval setup and browser helper aligned with the setting
and consent button.

## Verification

- Warm-standby integration fix `ec64ea05e`: public MCP ingress now
follows the Cloud claim guard; MCP and discovery paths return 503
instead of SPA HTML while unclaimed. Event polling checks the in-memory
claim before reading the persisted experimental setting. All 97 focused
OAuth/Cloud tests and server typecheck pass, including new request and
timer regressions for idle-before-claim and resume-after-claim behavior.
Fresh review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads, and all security scans
pass on this final head. All browser shards, typecheck, build, canary
installation and other test groups passed on the first attempt. The
unchanged Cursor sandbox default-command test timed out at 10 seconds;
the exact test passed locally without edits in 587 ms. The single
failed-job retry passed, with the original failure retained in workflow
37500711895. All 54 final-head checks pass on
`ec64ea05e9a03e2179d4e2f84c2de03761f7ce26` (two optional Storybook jobs
are intentionally skipped).

- Final master integration `8457828fc`: merged foundation #14846 and
current master, preserving the invitation changes and all 33 files from
the two newer upstream changes. No migration renumbering was required.
All 95 focused OAuth/Cloud integration tests, full recursive typecheck
and token gates pass. All CI gates passed on that integration head;
review identified the warm-standby issue fixed above.

- Security-review fix `8c1d0b696`: commit shared global/per-source
admission before outbound CIMD work, preserve failed-attempt receipts,
and validate resource/scope before fetching. Added migration
`0305_chubby_vin_gonzales.sql` and six concurrent/adversarial regression
cases. All 69 OAuth/metadata tests, 26 migration checks, full recursive
typecheck and production build pass. The security scanner passed that
commit. Follow-up `87f9658e7` limits only actual cache-miss fetches; 18
authorization requests sharing one proxy across two service instances
use just two fetches. All 70 OAuth/metadata tests and server typecheck
pass after that refinement. Final follow-up `8ebeae84c` reports
admission-storage failures as retryable HTTP 503 instead of invalid
client metadata. Its regression proves no outbound request before
admission and successful retry after storage recovers. All 71
OAuth/metadata tests and server typecheck pass. Final-head security
scanning passes; Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. CI passed
all browser shards, typecheck, build, token gates and canary
installation. One unchanged adapter-utils bridge test raced a
response-file write (expected a JSON error, received the safe
file-changed error). The exact test passed locally without edits. The
single failed-job retry passed; the original failure is retained in
workflow 37490609192. All 54 checks now pass on final head
`8ebeae84ca77c0cf7ac12c2006f0f8743fe50e0b`, with security scan and fresh
Greptile 5/5 and no unresolved threads. Foundation #14846 subsequently
merged as `e34abee670069cca84afb2efb86041bce7dccbec`; the final
integration above now targets master.

- Integration with current master: preserved the new Connections source
filters and pagination, kept all eval suites, and regenerated the
consent/device snapshots as migrations 0303/0304. All four MCP migration
SQL hashes are unchanged from the staging versions. Full recursive
typecheck and production build, 132 focused UI tests (including catalog
filtering), 89 server authorization/settings tests, 26 migration tests,
120 eval calibration tests and token gates pass. Review follow-up
`4820ce74c` also keeps active assistant grants in Installed, with
pending/error recovery and revocation/company-isolation coverage. All 76
setup/catalog tests, UI typecheck and token gates pass after that fix.
The unchanged signoff browser test timed out waiting for a heartbeat in
CI at `4820ce74c`; the exact test passed locally without code changes,
and the preceding CI head passed that shard. That same unchanged test
failed at the reviewer stage in the next CI run. All five signoff tests
passed three times locally (15/15), without test changes. All eight
browser shards pass at final head `8ebeae84c`; no browser-test edits or
failed-browser-job retries were needed.

- Setup-page refinement at `9ab009178`: all 17 focused setup/consent
tests pass, along with UI typecheck, production build, Storybook build
and token gates. Browser exercised the shared prompt preview and client
tab switching, and the updated InvitationCopied Storybook interaction
checks its clipboard fixture. All final-head CI checks pass at
`9ab009178`, with no unresolved review findings. Deployed successfully
to Butter in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/37475189524.
Verified the actual page, tab switching and line styling, removed
actions/copy, and successful native copy/paste of the complete Butter
invitation into a local-only test field. The existing Claude grant was
left intact.
- Consent follow-up at `dc8e9fd11`: all 10 consent tests and token gates
pass. UI typecheck and production build passed again at `4e4d5e4d9`;
Storybook build and eval-helper typecheck passed for `28101cf91`.
Follow-ups let the primary button wrap on narrow screens, preserve a
distinct callback URL, and use only bundled icons to avoid pre-consent
requests to client-selected sites. Browser-verified the real consent
component in desktop and 320px mobile stories, including default
selection, write access and preserved opt-out. Updated E2E
heading/default-selection helpers. All CI checks passed at `dc8e9fd11`,
with review 5/5 and no unresolved threads. The Butter preview
publication needed a retry because npm initially accepted the DB package
before making it visible; the retry succeeded and `dc8e9fd11` deployed.
Verified a fresh, unapproved native Codex CIMD request on Butter:
default organization/write selection, known-client heading and icon,
distinct callback origin, and removed creation action. No grant was
approved for this UI check. Prior paid runs below retain their exact
source provenance; this UI-only follow-up did not rerun paid
qualification.
- Source-pinned paid matrix at
`2992ef2710f47230e7f484c709c6ba02524f884c`: **15/15 passed**, five cases
each on GPT-5.4 Mini, Claude Haiku and Sonnet. Campaign
`local-2026-10-06T02-41-14-462Z`. Covers cold start, existing config,
unavailable host, denied consent and reconnect/later retrieval, with
independent configuration/grant/task/run/document assertions. Original
failures, transcripts, source fingerprints and billing remain retained.
- Final instruction follow-up `cda8178af`: **3/3 cold starts passed** on
Mini, Haiku and Sonnet. Campaign `local-2026-10-06T02-58-30-041Z`.
Latest `0637b9f1c` shares that same guidance across HTML, Markdown and
manual UI after review; generated Markdown is verified byte-identical to
the paid-evaluated version. Shared build, server/UI typechecks, token
gates and 63 auth/metadata tests passed again. Every CI gate passed at
prior HEAD `0637b9f1c`, with review 5/5 and no unresolved threads.
- Other focused checks: 11 CLI credential/refresh-lock tests, 120 eval
calibration tests, server/UI/eval typechecks, token gates and Storybook
build passed. Full recursive typecheck and production build passed
during implementation; CI also passed them at `2992ef271`.
- Local full-suite limitations: a large-file Git streaming test times
out on this Mac, and broader CLI/route runs hit DB hook timeouts. Fresh
MCP reruns passed, and the corresponding CI groups passed. No claim that
the local full suite is green.
- Actual clients: Codex 0.153.4 and Claude Code 2.1.245 reach CIMD
consent; device CLI reaches verification/consent. New grants await human
approval. Existing local OpenCode retrieved a saved result in a fresh
conversation through its previously approved grant.
- Fresh OpenCode 1.18.17 on Butter: started with no MCP config, received
the exact copied invitation, read public setup, configured its server
and started PKCE consent. Its shell command timed out; background retry
reached the client's own callback deadline while approval remained
pending. Latest instructions cover that handoff. **No completed Butter
read/delegation/result retrieval is claimed.**
- Cloud companion
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/672 passes
checks/review and deployed. Anonymous setup and device-protocol routing
verified. Core `2992ef271` deployed successfully and the actual Claude
web flow now reaches consent. Its extra JWT-bearer metadata is filtered
to implemented grants; unsupported token grants remain rejected. Final
`0637b9f1c` deployed successfully to Butter in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/37409195300;
live HTML and Markdown both contain the final guidance. The superseded
instruction-only build was canceled before deployment. This is a
core-only staging preview; private Cloud plugins are omitted. ChatGPT
web is signed out, so browser connector use is unverified.
- Screenshot gallery begins at Butter's dashboard and distinguishes real
setup/pending consent from local reuse and fixtures. It records the
timeout finding. New persistent access needs human confirmation before
the remaining actual-client acceptance work.
- Manual path: Connectors → Assistant Connection (MCP) → Copy invitation
→ paste into assistant → configure and start authorization → sign in and
approve → verify `paperclip_connection` → delegate → retrieve the saved
report later.
- Plan and instructions: `doc/plans/2026-10-05-assistant-invitations.md`
and `doc/public-mcp.md`.

## Risks

- Apply additive, replay-safe migration `0304_curvy_shadow_king.sql`
before using device authorization. The public setup link carries no
credential. Device codes and tokens stay private; neither sharing
instructions nor installing a plugin authorizes access.
- Apply additive migration `0305_chubby_vin_gonzales.sql` before
deploying the shared metadata admission gate. It retains at most 60
short-lived, hashed-source receipts per instance and rejects excess
attempts with 429.
- CIMD metadata fetching is a new external-input boundary. It requires
HTTPS, exact client ID and redirect validation, bounded responses and
guarded DNS/network access. Client names remain self-reported.
- Device support is per-instance. The central Cloud broker retains its
existing grant support. Host installation and tool reload capabilities
vary by client; instructions describe manual settings and restart
requirements.

- Consent names the registered client in its heading and displays its
identifying origin below. Known-origin icons are bundled; all other
origins show a neutral site icon without contacting client-selected
sites. Client names are self-reported; the callback origin is the
recipient check. The Cloud chooser also displays the original client and
receiving origin before tenant handoff.

- A user who accepts the preselected write permission can create tasks
and comments. Task creation and comments can start or wake agents and
use execution budget; the consent label uses the concise wording
explicitly requested by the maintainer. Scope requests, role checks, and
the final Connect action still apply.
- Migration `0303_supreme_garia.sql` adds one nullable UUID column with
`IF NOT EXISTS`. Requests without a company restriction keep the
direct-instance picker. The binding stays recorded if its company is
deleted; consent then fails closed.
- Deploy tenant support before the Cloud broker sends `company_id`.
Unknown or inaccessible organizations must never fall back to a
different company.
- The setting defaults off. Disabling access does not cancel work
already delegated. Existing tokens and unexpired subscriptions can
resume when enabled again; revocation remains separate.
- The catalog entry is visible for discovery while the feature is off.
Setup instructions, OAuth, and tool execution remain gated. No access is
granted by viewing the entry.
- Assistant sign-in starts in the external client so it owns PKCE and
callback state. Client command syntax can change and links to official
setup documentation are included.
- An authenticated instance and valid public URL are required. Hosting,
paid execution, and store publication remain separate rollout steps.

DottaandPaperclip 0e0b63e5a5 feat(connections): add experimental task-pinned AI routing (#14967)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - AI Connections separate account access from models and harnesses.
> - A pool must act as one connection while retaining each task’s
account.
> - Core must enforce member access and preserve session and recovery
rules.
> - A plugin supplies rotation policy without receiving credentials.
> - This change adds durable routing and native connector setup and
management.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

AI Connections, Connectors, plugins, run dispatch, and session
compatibility.

**Problem or motivation**

Operators need to rotate new tasks across saved accounts while each task
keeps its account and session. Pool setup must fit the existing
connector catalog and account workflow.

**Proposed solution**

Add an experimental router binding, a capability-gated plugin hook, and
transactional task pins. Plugins declare native pooled connectors
through `aiConnectionRouter`. Core hosts the existing-account picker,
ordering step, and account settings. Related usage contract: #14936.
Companion private plugin:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/643.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Apps and AI Connections. Core supplies generic enforcement
and native connector UI; the private plugin owns rotation and quota
policy. The prior duplicate search found no matching router
implementation.

## What Changed

- Add a router binding without changing existing concrete bindings. Keep
the instance flag and new pools disabled by default. Require manual
operator configuration. Show no routing toggle in Experimental settings
on either open-source or Cloud installs, even after routing is enabled.
- Persist company-scoped pools, one shared cursor per pool, and pins
keyed by company, pool, agent, and task. Commit pins and cursor advances
together with revision checks and bounded retries. Persist run-ID
affinity before allocation.
- Pass only authorized metadata and normalized usage to plugins. Core
retains credential handling, member access checks, runtime
qualification, and recovery evidence. Probe outside locks with a shared
15-second budget and freshness cache.
- Resolve routing before credential preparation and backend selection.
Preserve pins through turns, session resets, removed members, and quota
waits. Retain admitted recovery after disable or uninstall.
- Separate credential session epochs from token generations. Verified
refresh preserves the epoch; reconnect and manual replacement change it.
Include the credential slot ID in session and usage-cache identity, so
reconnecting an indexed legacy account invalidates its old session even
when both epochs are zero.
- Validate pool member installations before accepting saved-agent
bindings and recheck compatibility when the harness changes. Install
only authorized members in the new-agent transaction and record their
IDs in local activity. Pool membership cannot install a restricted
shared connection.
- Preserve pool bindings when agents hire teammates through either
creation API or native caller runtime inheritance. Block stale manager
credential references; retain explicit child authentication precedence
and reject incompatible inherited pools.
- Add native connector registration through plugin metadata. Reuse the
Connectors catalog, setup header, account header, sidebar, dialogs, and
usage display. Setup selects and orders saved connections. Advanced
settings hold usage rules and member runtime defaults. New-account setup
opens in another tab.
- Use revision-checked pool archival from the Connectors catalog and
account page. Keep task pins, cursors, recovery evidence, and underlying
connections. Reject ordinary connection updates or removals that bypass
pool revisions.
- Add pool selectors, composer models, override notes, quota status, run
details, activity records, and local run-log records. Keep
session-adoption copy minimal.
- Show **Used by** below the pool connections. List current company
agents with shared avatars and profile links. Include paused agents;
exclude terminated agents and agents using another pool.
- Add Core stories for the generic connector workflow and runtime
surfaces. Cloud stories reuse these production routes and tokens through
a preview-only alias.

## Verification

- Final head `73cb953bca30ed83e4505dd820edd9b5edffd28b`: full workspace
`pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass
locally.
- All 422 focused connector/settings/shared-contract/migration tests and
all 156 database-backed AI connection, hiring, reconnect, and
durable-routing cases pass (69 hiring cases rerun after the final
auth-precedence fix). The merged shared contract retains connection
instructions and pool metadata. The pool migration is generated at
sequence 0299 after the latest upstream migrations; this PR makes no
lockfile changes.
- All four full-app Playwright tests pass on the final head after a cold
restart and migration, against the installed private plugin and isolated
database, with no route or pool-API mocks. They cover hidden routing
controls after manual opt-in, native pool creation, ordering, membership
edits, rename, paused defaults, enabling/save/refresh persistence, stale
edits, cancellation/removal, preserved underlying accounts, unavailable
routers, and Used by avatars and profile links. Exact command:
`PAPERCLIP_CONNECTION_POOL_E2E=1
AI_CONNECTIONS_TEST_COMPANY_ID=a37b9625-5ecf-4e29-8081-04df3d6e7d6f
AI_CONNECTIONS_TEST_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3108 pnpm exec playwright test
--config tests/ai-connections-app/playwright.config.ts
connection-pools.spec.ts`.
- [Native setup, ordering, and management
screenshots](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/14967#issuecomment-6006976278)
address the review follow-up. [Earlier selector, quota, and run-detail
screenshots](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/14967#issuecomment-5971537316)
show the runtime surfaces. Core previews: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
storybook`, then **Connectors / Pool host** or **AI Connections /
Connection pools**. Cloud owns its host-backed plugin stories; both
repositories’ Operator Setup Required story assertions pass.
- Live acceptance used OpenAI/Codex and Anthropic/Claude ACPX, resumed
both exact sessions after restart, preserved pinned accounts through
explicit reset and controlled quota deferral/recovery, and committed
only two allocations across fourteen runs. A later UI-created task test
again rotated OpenAI then Anthropic and resumed OpenAI through
follow-up/restart/quota recovery. That later Anthropic execution was
blocked by its saved OAuth token expiring (provider 401). No live usage
probes ran.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted earlier and did not
complete because of macOS embedded PostgreSQL bootstrap/shared-memory
failures and the 40,000-file Git fixture timeout. The focused database
suites above now pass; full-suite verification is provided by the split
CI lanes. The preceding CI run had one runtime readiness timeout; it
passes locally both alone and inside the larger runtime suite. That
larger local suite also encountered an embedded PostgreSQL setup failure
and two macOS temporary-path alias assertions; those two assertions pass
with canonical TMPDIR=/private/tmp. All final-head CI checks are
terminal green, including full general/serialized server suites, Runner
checks, browser E2E shards, canary verification, build, and typecheck.
Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- The migration adds routing tables and a credential epoch column.
Install the private plugin only with the compatible Core contract.
- Routing and each pool require opt-in. Production distribution and
fleet defaults remain unchanged.
- Unknown usage stays eligible. Known pinned exhaustion waits; revoked
access requires operator repair.
- Legacy adapters require compatible members. Runner model and effort
overrides remain limited by qualified backend support.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, code
execution, and browser testing. The exact deployment model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session.

1c07b5903b feat: Chat leads the left nav, agent work beside chats, and a Combined Inbox + Task List flag (#15100)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The left nav is the main way people move between tasks, the inbox,
and Agent Chat
> - The nav has separate Inbox and Tasks rows that show overlapping
work, and Chat is one row among many
> - The side panel beside a chat shows the conversation's own artifacts,
not the work the agent did
> - People want Chat to be easy to find, and they want one place for
their task views
> - This pull request moves Chat to the top of Work, shows the agent's
tasks and artifacts beside each chat, and adds an experimental flag that
folds Inbox into Tasks
> - The benefit is a shorter nav and a chat view that shows what the
agent is working on. Both changes stay off until an operator enables
them

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14706 (the secondary Agent Chat navigation this change builds on)
Refs #14848 (reopen the last visited agent chat)

**Subsystem affected**
UI navigation (left nav, mobile tab bar), Agent Chat side panel, task
list and inbox, and the company artifacts API.

**Problem or motivation**
Inbox and Tasks are two nav rows for overlapping work. Chat sits in the
top group with no clear home. The chat rail lists only agents you
already talked to, so you cannot see your other teammates there. The
side panel beside a chat shows only the conversation's own artifacts. It
does not show the tasks and files the agent made.

**Proposed solution**
With Agent Chat on, Chat leads the Work section and the rail lists every
eligible agent. The chat side panel opens on the agent's tasks as cards,
and the agent's artifacts are available from +. A new experimental flag,
Combined Inbox + Task List, makes Inbox a set of views inside Tasks.

**Alternatives considered**
Rebuilding the inbox inside the task list. Instead, `/issues` hosts the
existing Inbox component for inbox views and the existing task list for
status views, so all inbox behaviour stays the same.

**Roadmap alignment**
Agent Chat (ROADMAP.md, "Agent Chat (including CEO Chat)"). All changes
are behind experimental flags that are off by default.

## What Changed

- **Agent Chat nav (streamlined shell):** Chat is the first row of Work,
not a top-group row. Workspaces leaves the nav while Agent Chat is on.
The mobile tab bar is Home · Chat · + · Tasks · Agents. The legacy shell
keeps master's top-group Chat row.
- **Chat rail:** `AgentConversationsSidebar` lists every eligible agent.
The open chat is first, then conversations by recent activity, then the
rest of the roster alphabetically. Terminated agents and agents you left
are omitted unless you have history with them. The picker still marks
only real conversations as "Open chat".
- **Chat side panel:** a new default Tasks tab shows one card per task
the agent created, was assigned, commented on, or acted on, newest
first. It has the task list's filter popover and a sort control. **+ →
Artifacts** shows the agent's artifacts as cards. Cards open in a new
tab. Agent Chat off keeps the old Artifacts tab.
- **Artifacts API:** `GET /api/companies/:companyId/artifacts` accepts
`agentId`. The filter applies to documents, work products, and
attachments by the agent each result is attributed to. The shared
validator and the UI client carry the new parameter, and the OpenAPI
entry picks it up from the shared schema.
- **Combined Inbox + Task List flag (`enableCombinedInboxTasks`, off by
default):** new card in Settings > Experimental. The Inbox row goes away
and its badge moves to Tasks. A Views menu on `/issues` covers Mine,
Unread, Blocked, Recent, Everything, All, Active, Backlog, and Done.
Bare `/issues` opens the last-used view (default Mine). Links that carry
`assignee`, `workspace`, `participantAgentId`, or `q` open All so the
filter is kept. `/inbox/*` and
`/issues/{all,active,backlog,done,recent}` redirect to the matching
view. `/inbox/requests` stays its own page.
- **Task detail breadcrumb:** the view key now decides the source, so
quick-archive still works after a reload from an inbox view.
- **Docs:** `doc/PRODUCT.md` and `doc/SPEC.md` describe the chat rail,
the chat side panel, and the new flag.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run --no-file-parallelism src/components/chat
src/components/task-side-panel/TaskSidePanel.test.tsx
src/components/AgentConversationsSidebar.test.tsx
src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx

src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx src/pages/Issues.test.tsx src/App.test.tsx
src/App.activity-routing.test.tsx
src/components/MobileBottomNav.test.tsx
src/components/CommandPalette.test.tsx`: 20 files, 356 tests pass.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-artifacts-service.test.ts`: 13/13 pass, including
the new agent-filter test across all three artifact sources.
- The new rail test fails against the unmodified rail.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: all gates clean.
- Manual: enable Agent Chat in Settings > Experimental. Open Chat. The
rail lists all agents. Open a chat. The side panel shows the agent's
tasks. Use **+ → Artifacts** to see the agent's artifacts. Then enable
Combined Inbox + Task List. The Inbox row goes away, and Tasks shows a
Views menu.
- Snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated. See
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- With both flags off, the app behaves like master. The only exception
is the API: it accepts a new optional query parameter.
- With Agent Chat on, the rail can list many agents in a large company.
It uses the agent list the app already loads, and search filters it.
- The Tasks panel reads at most 200 recently updated tasks per agent and
says so when it reaches the limit. The Artifacts panel reads at most 500
of the agent's artifacts.
- Combined Inbox + Task List changes what bare `/issues` opens for
people who enable it. Deep links with a task filter still open All.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, through Claude Code
with tool use (shell, file edit, test runs). Extended thinking was
enabled.

Devin Foley f38b5693f6 fix: always enable keyboard shortcuts (#14643)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI has keyboard shortcuts for the inbox, task lists, cases,
and task detail, plus global shortcuts such as `c`, `/`, `?`, `[`, and
`]`
> - Shortcut enablement was an instance-wide General setting until
#14141 moved it to a per-user preference that defaults to off
> - The move did not carry the old instance value over, so every
existing user lost shortcuts on upgrade and had to find a new toggle
under Profile settings
> - A toggle that only turns off a standard, input-safe feature costs a
setting, a database column, two API routes, and a React context for
little benefit
> - This pull request removes both the instance setting and the personal
preference and enables keyboard shortcuts for every signed-in user
> - The benefit is one less thing to configure, no silent loss of
shortcuts on upgrade, and less code to maintain

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14141 (the change that introduced the personal preference).

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Keyboard shortcuts in the web UI stay off unless each user turns them on
in Profile settings.

**Subsystem affected**

Web UI shortcuts, Profile settings, instance general settings, the
`/api/auth/preferences` routes, and the `user` table.

**Current behavior**

Shortcuts default to off per user. #14141 moved the toggle from Instance
settings → General to Profile settings and did not carry the old
instance value over. Users who had shortcuts on lost them after the
upgrade and had to find the new toggle.

**Proposed behavior**

Keyboard shortcuts are always enabled for every signed-in user. There is
no instance setting and no personal preference. Shortcuts already ignore
key presses inside text inputs and modal dialogs, so an opt-out is not
needed.

**Reason and benefit**

Fewer settings, no silent loss of shortcuts on upgrade, and removal of a
database column, two API routes, a query hook, and a React context that
existed only to gate this feature.

**Breaking changes**

`GET` and `PATCH /api/auth/preferences` are removed. `PATCH
/api/instance/settings/general` no longer accepts `keyboardShortcuts`;
that schema is strict, so the key now returns 400.
`instance.general.keyboardShortcuts` is no longer a valid
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` key; the parser ignores unknown keys with a
warning.

## What Changed

- Removed the Keyboard shortcuts section from Profile settings, the
`useUserPreferences` hook, `queryKeys.auth.preferences`, and
`authApi.getPreferences` / `authApi.updatePreferences`.
- Removed `GeneralSettingsContext`. The inbox, legacy inbox, task list,
legacy task list, cases, and task detail pages no longer gate their key
handlers.
- Removed the `enabled` option from `useKeyboardShortcuts`. The app
shell always registers the global shortcuts.
- Removed `GET` and `PATCH /api/auth/preferences`, their OpenAPI
entries, and the `currentUserPreferencesSchema` /
`updateCurrentUserPreferencesSchema` validators.
- Removed `keyboardShortcuts` from `InstanceGeneralSettings`, the
general settings zod schema, the settings service defaults, and
`HIDEABLE_GENERAL_SECTIONS`.
- Added migration `0289_drop_user_keyboard_shortcuts`, which drops
`user.keyboard_shortcuts`.
- Updated `AGENTS.md`, `doc/SPEC.md`, `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, and
`docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`.
- Parsed the stored general settings row with
`instanceGeneralSettingsSchema.strip()` in the feedback vote path, so a
retired key left in the row cannot reset the sharing preference to
`prompt` and overwrite the stored choice.
- Kept every bare global shortcut (`c`, `?`, `[`, `]`, `/`) out of open
modal dialogs in `useKeyboardShortcuts`; only `/` had that guard before.
- Updated the affected tests and added a Profile settings test that
asserts the toggle is gone, a hook test for the modal dialog guard, and
a feedback service regression test for the retired-key case.

## Verification

- Typecheck passes for `@paperclipai/shared`, `@paperclipai/db`
(including the migration numbering and safety checks),
`@paperclipai/server`, and `ui`.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/auth-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/sentry.test.ts` → 119 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/Layout.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.test.tsx ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Cases.test.tsx
ui/src/hooks/useKeyboardShortcuts.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Agents.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceGeneralSettings.test.tsx` → 286 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts`
→ 16 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/hooks/useKeyboardShortcuts.test.tsx` → 7
passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/feedback-service.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres) → the new retired-key test passes with the fix and
fails without it.
- Manual: sign in with no settings changed, open the inbox, press `j`
and `k` to move the selection, press `?` to open the cheatsheet. Open
Settings → Profile and confirm there is no Keyboard shortcuts section.

## Risks

- The migration drops a column. It uses `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS`, and the
column has no readers after this change. If you roll back to a build
from before this PR after the migration has run, re-add the column
first: `ALTER TABLE "user" ADD COLUMN "keyboard_shortcuts" boolean
DEFAULT false NOT NULL;`. The older build's ORM selects that column when
it loads users.
- Any external client that still sends `keyboardShortcuts` to `PATCH
/api/instance/settings/general` receives a 400. No in-repo client does.
- Stored `instance_settings.general.keyboardShortcuts` values are
stripped on read and ignored.
- Users who never turned the toggle on now get shortcuts. The handlers
skip text inputs, contenteditable regions, and modal dialogs, so typing
is unaffected.

DottaandPaperclip 8781f06a87 feat(connections): enable MCP aggregators by default (#13964)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - Connections let those agents use external services with explicit
access rules.
> - Zapier, Arcade, Composio Connect, and Executor already have setup
and runtime support.
> - Their experimental switch still blocks discovery and setup by
default.
> - This pull request removes those gates and the Settings toggle.
> - Users can connect these providers without enabling an experiment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13755. Refs #13941.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Apps browsing, inline setup, and agent connection search for the four
MCP aggregators.

**Current behavior**
An instance must enable the MCP aggregators experiment before users or
agents can start setup.

**Proposed behavior**
All four providers are available by default on local and managed
instances. Old stored and managed values still parse but cannot disable
them.

## What Changed

- Remove the aggregator gates from Apps, inline setup, server setup, and
agent search.
- Remove the Settings toggle and its UI hook.
- Retain the old setting key only for upgrade compatibility. Normalize
it to true and ignore managed overrides, as Apps already does.
- Replace opt-in fixtures with default-on coverage. Test old false
values, all four setup flows, provider choice, and the removed toggle.
- Update current connector guidance and remove the opt-in from the
runner acceptance fixture.

## Verification

- 306 focused tests passed across eight files: shared remote MCP
contracts; server remote MCP lifecycle, aggregator fallback, settings
normalization, and managed overlay; UI Apps browsing, setup, and
experimental settings.
- Server and UI TypeScript checks passed.
- UI token gates and `git diff --check` passed.
- The full local suite was not run, per the maintainer's instruction.
All 54 CI checks passed; two checks were skipped. One unrelated
workspace-preview readiness timeout passed on one failed-shard retry.
- The setup fixtures use simulated MCP responses. This change does not
claim new live provider acceptance.

## Risks

- Existing instances now show all four providers, even if the old flag
was false. This is intentional.
- External provider choice, credentials, company isolation, agent
grants, and tool policies still apply. Showing a connector does not
authorize an external account.
- No data migration is required. The compatibility key keeps old managed
configuration documents valid.
- Historical Zapier live acceptance remains incomplete in the existing
evidence report. The maintainer explicitly requested the default-on
rollout for all four existing providers; the report records that scoped
exception.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) through Codex, with reasoning, repository
tools, and test execution. The context window size is not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 18dac1e1ef feat(connections): add experimental memory providers and remote MCP access (#13942)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Connections give agents governed access to external tools.
> - Agents need durable memory across tasks and execution environments.
> - Mem0, Zep, Supermemory, Cognee, and Honcho provide hosted memory
tools.
> - This pull request adds their setup flows behind an experimental
toggle.
> - It also delivers assigned MCP tools through the native remote Codex
runner.
> - Operators can connect a provider once and use the same governed
tools locally or in Daytona.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

The Apps catalog lacks a complete set of memory providers. Remote native
Codex agents also need access to assigned managed MCP tools without
receiving provider credentials.

**Proposed solution**

Add five memory connectors behind the disabled-by-default Experimental
memory connectors setting. Use the existing connection setup and
permissions UI. Default their tools to Allowed. Preserve company
boundaries, operator permission changes, provider scopes, and audit
attribution.

**Alternatives considered**

Direct provider credentials in each sandbox would duplicate setup and
bypass the managed gateway. The remote runner instead uses its existing
protocol channel to call the gateway on the server.

**Roadmap alignment**

This maintainer-requested experiment supports the Memory / Knowledge and
Connected Apps roadmap areas. It adds provider connections without
introducing a separate memory UI. Related connector authoring
documentation is tracked in #13692; no duplicate memory-provider
implementation was found.

## What Changed

- Add provider definitions, official branding, and the experimental
setting for all five providers.
- Use OAuth for Zep and Supermemory, API credentials for Mem0 and
Honcho, and a bundled Cloud API bridge for Cognee with no runtime
downloads or subprocesses.
- Default memory tools to Allowed and classify destructive actions
explicitly.
- Fix personal remote credential resolution and propagate provider tool
errors.
- Relay assigned managed MCP tools to remote native Codex through the
runner protocol. Recheck current authority for each call and rotate
stale tool contracts.
- Add 21 Storybook states and complete OAuth walkthrough fixtures.
- Document provider research, sanitized tool inventory, and live local
and Daytona proof.

## Verification

- Passed workspace typecheck: `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Passed production build: `pnpm build`.
- Full local `pnpm test:run`: 13,273 passed, with failures from
process/readiness timeouts under parallel load. Reran all 16 affected
suites with one worker: 456 passed, leaving two macOS `/var` versus
`/private/var` path assertions. Both passed with `TMPDIR=/private/tmp`.
No test failures remain unverified. Latest-head remote CI passes all 54
checks (two optional Storybook jobs skipped). Greptile is 5/5 with no
unresolved findings.
- Latest Cognee gateway regression: 71 passed, including public
deployment without a runtime host and immediate recovery after a
provider error. Bundled bridge tests: 25 passed.
- Browser setup and real agent tasks exercised all five providers. Mem0,
Cognee, Zep, and Honcho have successful store/retrieve proof.
- Supermemory now has scoped read/write consent. Local storage and real
Daytona write, document read, and semantic recall passed; indexing
completion was verified before claiming success.
- All five providers were exercised through a real Daytona sandbox and
its native runner MCP relay. Provider credentials remained on the
server. The final bundled Cognee bridge also passed a fresh Daytona
store/recall run. All disposable sandboxes were removed and verified
absent after testing.
- Storybook is rebuilt and contains the experimental toggle, catalog,
setup, permissions, and error states. The Zep and Supermemory access
steps advance correctly.

## Risks

- Provider OAuth scopes and plan limits remain independent of Paperclip
tool permissions. An Allowed tool can still be rejected by the provider.
- Providers can queue memory indexing; save acceptance does not prove
that semantic recall is ready.
- Remote tool contracts must stay synchronized with current connection
authority. Regression tests cover revocation and stale contracts.
- This change has no database migration. Existing connections remain
usable when the experimental catalog toggle is disabled.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with reasoning, repository
edits, code execution, and browser automation. The exact context window
size is not exposed in this session. Live acceptance agents used
`gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip e8c8ba3c19 feat(apps): add experimental MCP aggregator connectors (#13755)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its tool gateway applies company access rules and approval controls
to connected apps.
> - MCP aggregators expose many apps through one provider endpoint.
> - Each aggregator needs its own credential, catalog, grants, and
lifecycle in Paperclip.
> - This pull request adds independent Zapier, Arcade, Composio Connect,
and Executor setup with a common Access → Connect layout.
> - A default-off MCP aggregators flag lets operators opt in while we
complete provider acceptance tests.
> - Agents use the normal Paperclip permissions, Test screen, and
gateway after setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Apps, connection setup, shared contracts, and the remote MCP gateway.

**Problem or motivation**

Aggregator endpoints need clear provider setup and correct MCP sessions.
Generic setup does not explain each provider's authentication or broad
execution tools. Provider approval must preserve the original execution
instead of replaying a write.

**Proposed solution**

Add four separate connectors behind Settings → Experimental → MCP
aggregators. Start with human and agent access, then connect the
endpoint and read its tools. Enable tools by default. Use the existing
Permissions and Test screens after setup. Keep legacy Composio API-key
and child connections intact.

**Alternatives considered**

A shared connection for all providers would mix credentials and access
rules. Separate provider-specific permission and test screens would
duplicate existing controls. Vercel Connect is outside this change.

**Roadmap alignment**

Extends the existing MCP Tool Gateway & Apps capability and the
Connected Apps roadmap area. This work was requested and reviewed by the
maintainer.

Related work: #11894, #12630, #12632, #12634, and #12906 concern the
legacy Composio broker. #13102 also covers remote MCP pagination. This
change preserves the broker path and adds initialized sessions, response
matching, and provider resume handling alongside pagination.

## What Changed

- Add branded setup and interactive Storybooks for Zapier, Arcade,
Composio Connect, and Executor. Use the existing access controls and
normal action tests. Do not request a connection name or action choices
during setup.
- Add the default-off `enableMcpAggregators` flag to settings, managed
feature metadata, the catalog, and setup guards. Hidden connections keep
running. Legacy Composio connections remain unchanged.
- Reuse the vault, grants, policy, and catalog models. Support OAuth
discovery, bearer tokens, custom headers, and credential-bearing URLs.
Add no database tables or migrations.
- Initialize and retain Streamable HTTP sessions by connection and
effective credentials. Read paginated catalogs and match streaming
responses to request IDs.
- Classify unfamiliar aggregator tools as writes despite upstream
read-only hints; only exact reviewed read capabilities enter the
read-only allowlist. Legacy Composio child behavior is preserved.
- Preserve provider authorization links and execution IDs. Support
Executor approve/resume, decline, and cancel without automatic replay of
uncertain writes.
- Preserve Off and Ask first choices during refresh and reconnect. Allow
new tools and retire removed tools. Keep agent access updates atomic and
preserve an empty agent selection.
- Document connector UX rules, provider branding sources, and live
acceptance results.
- Stabilize the existing Sentry release fixture after its repeated CI
failure by reusing one module mock; production Sentry behavior is
unchanged.

## Verification

- Final head `d11781970`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35633534900)
passed, including broad typecheck, test shards, build, and E2E. All 54
checks pass; 2 optional checks are skipped. Greptile is 5/5, Security
Scan passes, and all review threads are resolved.

- Passed 27 focused connector Vitest checks and 18 connector-only
Storybook browser checks before the flag change. All 85 stories rendered
at desktop and narrow widths.
- Passed 5 connector lifecycle/server checks and 7 selected flag checks
after adding the flag. The latter cover settings, managed defaults,
cached catalog visibility, and all four setup routes.
- Review fixes passed 13 risk/handoff/lifecycle checks, dedicated
session-expiration and transport regressions, 13 selected
connector/gateway CI cases, and 10 selected setup/reconnect UI cases. A
real Composio connection-list call also succeeded through the refreshed
UI on `9ab115f71`.
- UI and server TypeScript checks passed. UI build, Storybook build,
token gates, and diff whitespace checks passed during implementation.
- Real browser and real Paperclip agent tests passed for Arcade,
Composio, and Executor. Tested action permissions, denied agent access,
reconnect, disconnect, and isolation. Tested Arcade catalog
additions/removal and Executor provider approve/resume, decline, and
cancel.
- Zapier live acceptance is incomplete. Its dedicated provider server is
configured, but its credential-copy dialog returned an empty clipboard
through browser automation. No live Zapier action is claimed.
- The three isolated Sentry release cases pass after the CI fixture fix.
- Local verification is deliberately narrow at the maintainer's request.
The full local suite, recursive typecheck, and repository-wide build
were not run. CI provides the broader checks.

## Risks

- Shared MCP transport changes affect other remote MCP servers. Protocol
fixtures cover initialized sessions, streaming response matching,
pagination, and isolation.
- Broad execution tools remain broad permissions. The provider governs
actions inside those tools.
- Provider handoff links are retained briefly in memory. After a server
restart, a one-time link may require reopening the provider dashboard.
Paperclip does not replay the original call.
- Zapier remains unproven live. Custom-header imports and self-hosted
endpoints have fixture coverage rather than a separate live account for
every variant.
- Turning the experimental flag off hides setup; it does not revoke
existing credentials or stop existing connections.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and browser automation. The exact runtime model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. A separate
Anthropic-backed Paperclip agent performed live gateway acceptance
tasks.

Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5 b64469e403 feat(workspaces): add an operator default for isolated execution workspaces (#13444)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The execution workspace subsystem decides if a task run uses the
shared project checkout or an isolated per-task git worktree
> - The mode comes from the project policy, then the task settings. A
project that stores no policy always falls back to the shared checkout
> - An operator who wants every project to use isolated workspaces must
therefore edit each project one at a time, and must repeat this for each
new project
> - There is no instance-level control, so a fleet operator cannot set
this default at all
> - This pull request adds a managed experimental flag that moves the
default for projects that store no policy of their own
> - The benefit is that an operator sets the workspace default one time,
and every current and future project follows it

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. The description follows the feature request
template.

**Subsystem affected**

Execution workspaces. The files are
`server/src/services/execution-workspace-policy.ts` and the run dispatch
path in `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`.

**Problem or motivation**

`resolveExecutionWorkspaceMode` reads only the project policy, the task
settings, and a legacy field. Its last statement returns
`shared_workspace`. A project that stores no policy always gets the
shared project checkout.

An operator has no way to change this default for many projects at the
same time. The operator must edit each project, and must edit each new
project again later. Tasks in one project therefore share one checkout,
and they run one at a time when the environment driver makes the
scheduler serialize them.

**Proposed solution**

Add the managed experimental flag `enableIsolatedWorkspacesByDefault`.
When the flag is on, a project that stores no policy of its own resolves
as if it selected isolated workspaces. A project that stores a policy
keeps that policy.

The new helper substitutes a project policy. It does not move the last
statement of `resolveExecutionWorkspaceMode`. Two behaviors make this
necessary:

- A task that has no project must keep its current behavior. An isolated
workspace needs a repository to cut a worktree from.
`isUnrunnableWorktreeCombo` blocks an isolated task that has no
`projectId` and no `projectWorkspaceId`. A moved fallback would resolve
isolated for project-less tasks, such as agent chat, and stop them
before dispatch.
- The mode and the strategy must agree.
`buildExecutionWorkspaceAdapterConfig` supplies the default
`git_worktree` strategy only when one layer asserts workspace control. A
moved fallback would leave isolated mode with a `project_primary`
strategy.

**Alternatives considered**

- Change the last statement of `resolveExecutionWorkspaceMode` to
`isolated_workspace`. This is one line, but it changes the default for
every deployment. It is also not gated, so it would apply where isolated
workspaces are off.
- Write the policy to each project row with a script. This does not
cover new projects, and it does not cover new instances.
- Add an instance defaults section to the managed-config document. This
needs a new document key, new validation, and new delivery code. A
boolean flag reuses the delivery machinery that exists today.

**Roadmap alignment**

`ROADMAP.md` does not list execution workspace defaults. This change
adds an operator control to an existing capability. It does not add a
new capability.

**Additional context**

The flag is `tier: "managed"`. A cloud operator can therefore deliver it
with the managed-config machinery that exists today. No new delivery
code is needed.

## What Changed

- Add `enableIsolatedWorkspacesByDefault` to the feature catalog with
`tier: "managed"`. Both defaults are off.
- Add the flag to the experimental settings schema, the type, and both
branches of `normalizeExperimentalSettings`.
- Add `applyDefaultIsolatedExecutionWorkspacePolicy` to
`execution-workspace-policy.ts`. It substitutes `{ enabled: true,
defaultMode: "isolated_workspace" }` only when the flag is on, the task
has a project, and the project stores no policy.
- Apply the helper in the run dispatch path in `heartbeat.ts`, after the
existing `gateProjectExecutionWorkspacePolicy` call. The `hasProject`
argument reads the resolved project row, not the raw `projectId` of the
task.
- Gate the new flag behind `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` at the call site.
The new flag does nothing on its own.
- Add a toggle card to the instance experimental settings page. The card
shows only when isolated workspaces are on.
- Add eight tests for the new helper.

## Verification

Commands:

```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck
cd server && ../node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit
```

The server typecheck script also builds a Rust binary. I ran `tsc`
directly because this machine has no `cargo`. The server package reports
no type errors.

Tests:

```
./node_modules/.bin/vitest run \
  server/src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-cloud-defaults.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-busy.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-ready-comment.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/issue-runtime-workspace-binding.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/run-trust-preset.test.ts \
  packages/shared/src/feature-catalog.test.ts \
  packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts \
  packages/shared/src/validators/instance.test.ts \
  ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx \
  ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx
```

All of these files pass. The new tests cover each of these cases:

- The helper substitutes an isolated policy for a project that stores
none.
- The helper changes nothing while the flag is off.
- The helper changes nothing for a task that has no project.
- The helper keeps a stored policy, including a policy with `enabled:
false`.
- The resolver returns `isolated_workspace` for an unpolicied project.
- An explicit task setting still wins over the operator default.
- The substituted policy produces the `git_worktree` strategy.
- A project-less task does not become an unrunnable worktree.

To confirm the behavior by hand:

1. Turn on Isolated Workspaces, then turn on Use Isolated Workspaces By
Default.
2. Open a project that has no execution workspace policy.
3. Start a task in that project.
4. The run gets its own worktree. Tasks in that project no longer wait
for each other.

## Risks

Low to medium. The details:

- The flag defaults to off, and it is inert unless
`enableIsolatedWorkspaces` is also on. An instance that does not turn on
both flags sees no change.
- A project that stores a policy keeps it. This includes a policy with
`enabled: false`, which the helper reads as a decision to stay on the
shared checkout.
- When an operator turns the flag on, the workspace configuration
fingerprint changes for projects that store no policy. Their next run
creates a new workspace. This is correct, because the mode did change,
but the first run after the change does more setup work.
- A task that is in flight when the flag changes resumes with a
different workspace path than the path its session remembers. An
operator should let current runs finish before turning the flag on.
- Isolated workspaces use more disk, because each task gets its own
worktree.

DottaandPaperclip ab15aff390 feat: add experimental persistent agent chat (#13284)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Conversations must use the same tasks, controls, and execution
history.
> - Users need an ongoing chat with an agent without managing task
properties.
> - Agents should clarify and plan work, then hand execution to assigned
project tasks.
> - This pull request combines the reviewed Agent Chat stack for one
squash merge.
> - The benefit is persistent conversation with normal task governance
and shared UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task lifecycle, agent runtime tools, shared task UI, and browser/paid
runner tests.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need one persistent conversation with each agent. A separate chat
store or renderer would duplicate task behavior and bypass existing
controls.

**Proposed solution**

Use a task-backed chat per company, user, and agent. Reuse the task
composer and transcript. Clarify and plan in chat, then create assigned
project tasks with the relevant plan. Keep Agent Chat behind its own
disabled-by-default experimental setting.

**Roadmap alignment**

This implements the task-backed direction in [CEO
Chat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#-ceo-chat).
Related proposals: #2504 and #9693. Related request: #7981. The
maintainer requested one squash merge of the complete stack.

Consolidates the reviewed runtime
[#13281](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13281), backend
[#13282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13282), and UI
[#13283](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13283) layers
with this PR's E2E coverage. All four layers passed CI and received
Greptile 5/5 before consolidation. This PR targets master and includes
the complete feature.

## What Changed

- Add personal canonical chat tasks with ordinary company visibility,
immutable identity, idempotent first sends, and an idle waiting state.
- Process `/new` in queue order. Preserve history, release a chat pause,
and fence old provider context and delayed writes.
- Keep chat lifecycle rules across recovery, finalization, assignment,
task lists, and rollups.
- Support research and plan revision in chat. Hand plans to ordinary
assigned project tasks before execution starts. Reject new chat
subtasks.
- Add repository-aware project creation and discovery tools, including
multiple repository IDs and GitHub URLs, authorization, idempotency, and
durable project-created cards.
- Reuse task UI components for chat, with starred/recent agent
navigation and a separate `enableAgentChat` experimental flag.
- Add deterministic browser tests and 24 paid chat cells across four
Codex/Claude profiles, with validated reports and screenshots.
- Integrate current master recovery, controller lease, queued-message,
and task UI changes. Gate chat interruption and deferred promotion on
ownership/feature policy. Guarantee lease renewal and active controls
are stopped even if teardown fails.
- Preserve master's migration 0273 and generate chat migration 0274 with
idempotent replay for development databases.

## Verification

- Prior exact heads of all four PRs passed Linux CI, including build,
typecheck, general/serialized tests, and browser E2E. Each had Greptile
5/5 and no unresolved findings.
- Integrated local verification passed: full repository typecheck and
production build, Storybook build, token gates, 340 focused UI tests,
all 20 deterministic chat browser tests, two migration replay tests, 88
focused chat/queue/native/controller tests, and provider/session
regressions including real lease expiry. These include the three
lifecycle regressions for the final admission/teardown fixes; server
typecheck also passes. Current head
`1268eda16cc2af892055917e7292f068820be135` has Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved findings and passing security scans. All final-head CI gates
passed: build, full Runner verification, typecheck/release registry,
canary, all general/serialized test shards, and all browser E2E shards
([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34696739927)).
Local PostgreSQL startup contention required serialized retries; skipped
fixtures do not count as passing coverage.
- The earlier paid campaign passed all 24 chat cells and retained 32
screenshots:
[report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-34648511170-1/index.html?report=agent-chat#suite-agent-chat).
It tested `abacbdfd2f660709ec37312cdb758284c8399d04`; it is prior
evidence, not a paid run of this integrated head.
- Manual check: enable Agent Chat in Experimental settings, open an
agent, clarify and revise a plan, then hand off to an assigned project
task. Stop a reply, send `/new`, and verify fresh context with retained
history. Disable the setting and verify agent shortcuts/new chat turns
are blocked.

## Risks

- Queue/session integration can affect retries and delayed writes. Tests
cover ownership, cancellation, reset boundaries, idle recovery, and
ordinary task behavior.
- Migration 0274 adds conversation fields and constraints. Replay is
idempotent and preserves existing development chat history.
- This combines the previously reviewed stack at the maintainer's
request. Agent Chat remains off by default and is separate from
Conference Room.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with reasoning, code
execution, browser tools, and parallel review. The exact context-window
size is not exposed in this session. Codex and Claude also ran as test
subjects in the linked paid campaign.

DottaandPaperclip 889947c238 feat: add experimental native chat connectors (#13038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.

## What Changed

- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.

## Verification

Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.

- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.

- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.

- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.

- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.

- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.

- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.

- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.

Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.

## Risks

- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex assisted with implementation, tool execution, testing, and
review. The work records `gpt-6-astra` assistance. The environment does
not report a context-window size. No private reasoning traces are

5acf56658b feat(onboarding): first task opens as a chat with a chief of staff (#13068)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Onboarding ends by handing a new user to their first agent on a
seeded first task
> - Today the wizard asks for a mission up front, the UI composes what
the agent is told, and the agent starts running before the user says
anything
> - New users get a cold, ticket-shaped start, and nobody can edit the
agent's brief or persona without a code change
> - This pull request makes the first task a short chat: a four-step
wizard, a chief-of-staff persona, a greeting plus a two-option opening
card, server-owned markdown texts, and no run until the user answers
> - It also gives question cards one consistent action row (Cancel /
Skip / Next), makes agent hires idempotent within a run, and turns the
Paperclip Runner flag on by default for self-hosted instances
> - The benefit is a first run the user steers, with texts a board
operator can edit as markdown

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The feature request
fields follow.

Related PRs and issues:

- Refs #11043 — an earlier draft of the first-task onboarding
experience. This PR supersedes it.
- Refs #11280 — a report about the onboarding first-task route test.
This PR extends that test file.

### Subsystem affected

Onboarding wizard, the seeded first task and its texts, task-chat
question cards, agent hiring, and the instance experimental settings.

### Problem or motivation

The onboarding wizard collects a mission through two extra steps and a
questionnaire. The UI then composes the first agent's instructions and
the first task description from those answers. The first task wakes the
agent at once, so the agent runs and posts before the user types a word.
Board operators cannot change the greeting, the brief, or the persona
without editing TypeScript. Question cards in chat behave differently
per adapter, and a single-select pick submits on click. A misread hire
response could create a duplicate agent that the creating agent cannot
remove.

### Proposed solution

Reduce the wizard to four steps and stop the UI from authoring agent
texts. Move the greeting, the brief, the chief-of-staff persona, and the
opening question into markdown and JSON files that the server loads at
runtime. Seed the persona onto the first agent through an explicit hire
marker. Do not wake the first task until the user answers the opening
card or types. Give every question card the same Cancel / Skip / Next
actions. Add an experimental toggle that switches the single-task
proposal between one confirmation card and a plan document with a
checkbox card. Make agent hires idempotent within a run.

### Alternatives considered

- Keep the mission questionnaire and feed it into the brief. Rejected:
the agent asks better questions in chat, and the wizard gets shorter.
- Keep the first task open-ended with a plain composer. Rejected: a
two-option card gives the user a clear first move.
- Derive the plan-document behaviour from the user's intent only.
Rejected in favour of an explicit experimental toggle so operators can
choose.
- Key the "pick does not submit" behaviour off the presence of a submit
label. Rejected: several adapters set a submit label on single-select
cards, and their cards would change behaviour.

### Roadmap alignment

`ROADMAP.md` lists no planned core work on onboarding or the first task.
This change refines the existing flow and does not duplicate planned
work.

## What Changed

- Wizard: four steps (Name your organization, Create your first agent,
Connect a model, Review). The front door and both mission steps are
removed with their state and saved-progress keys. The UI no longer
composes the first agent's instructions or the first task description.
- Server-owned texts: the greeting, the brief with two proposal
variants, the chief-of-staff persona, the opening question, and a README
live in `server/src/onboarding-assets/first-task/` and load at runtime.
The create route stores the assembled brief and ignores any client
description.
- Persona seed: an `onboardingFirstAgent` marker on the hire lets the
server seed the chief-of-staff persona over the first agent's entry
file. Board-authored hires only. The persona tells the agent the hire
response shape and to list agents before it acts on an unclear result.
- No auto-run: the first task does not queue an assignment wake. The
stranded-assignment reconciler leaves it idle until a user comment or an
answered card exists.
- Opening card: the server seeds an `ask_user_questions` card right
after the greeting with two options: "Interview me and propose a plan
and an agent team to execute it." and "I have a task in mind" with free
text. Answering wakes the agent.
- Experimental toggle `enableFirstTaskPlanProposal` (default off): the
single-task proposal is one confirmation card, or a plan document plus a
checkbox card when on.
- Question cards: every `ask_user_questions` card renders Cancel, Skip,
and Next (the submit label on the last question). Skip hides on required
questions. Picking an option no longer advances or submits by itself.
- Wizard guards: the dashboard's agentless offer ignores a cached empty
agent list while a refetch is in flight. The hire step adopts an agent
that already carries the typed name instead of hiring "Name 2".
- Agent hires are idempotent within a run: a retry of the identical
request under the same run id returns the existing agent with `200` and
`idempotent: true`. The fingerprint covers the whole validated request,
so a corrected payload is a new hire. Lookup, create, and activity
record run under one lock per company and run, so overlapping retries
cannot both create.
- The Paperclip Runner experimental flag defaults to on for self-hosted
instances. Cloud keeps its declared default: a managed instance whose
tenant row and managed overlay omit the flag resolves it to off.
- Question cards: a send that finds an earlier required answer missing
returns to that question with a message instead of failing silently.
- The two onboarding e2e specs follow the new wizard: the front door and
growth intake shots are gone, and the planning-mode spec dismisses the
opening card before it reads the composer.
- Docs: `docs/board-operator/editing-first-task-texts.md` explains how
to edit the texts and the toggle.

## Verification

Commands, run from the repo root:

```
pnpm -r --filter './packages/*' --filter '!@paperclipai/paperclip-runner' build
pnpm --filter ./packages/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter ./ui typecheck
pnpm --filter ./server exec tsc --noEmit
pnpm check:token-gates
pnpm --filter ./ui exec vitest run OnboardingWizard onboarding QuestionForm InteractionCard ProtocolCard TaskChatComposer Dashboard feature
PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false pnpm --filter ./server exec vitest run onboarding-first-task heartbeat-process-recovery agent-hire-idempotency instance-settings agent-skills-routes issue-onboarding onboarding-greeting --testTimeout=90000
```

Results on this branch:

- Typecheck is clean for shared, ui, and server.
- Token gates: 4 of 4 clean.
- UI: 344 tests pass across 23 files.
- Server: all suites pass. The first test in `agent-skills-routes` has
its own 10 s cap and needs about 15 s on my laptop for the app cold
start. It passes with a longer cap. This PR does not change that cap.

Manual steps on a dev instance:

1. Open `/onboarding`. Confirm four steps: Name your organization,
Create your first agent, Connect a model, Review.
2. Finish the wizard. Confirm the first task shows the chief-of-staff
greeting and the opening card with two options. Confirm no run starts.
3. Pick "Interview me…". Confirm no run starts. Press Continue. Confirm
a run starts and an interview card of 3–4 questions arrives.
4. On a fresh organization, pick "I have a task in mind", type a task,
and press Continue. Confirm a proposal arrives as one confirmation card.
5. Turn on Settings → Experimental → "First task: propose with a plan
document" and repeat step 4. Confirm a plan document and a checkbox card
arrive.
6. Visit the dashboard after the hire. Confirm the wizard does not
reopen and one agent exists.
7. Open any question card. Confirm Cancel returns the plain composer
with the card still pending, Skip advances an optional question, and
Next moves to the next question.

## Risks

- `pnpm dev` now builds the runner daemon because the Paperclip Runner
flag is on by default. Developers without a Rust toolchain must set
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_BINARY` or turn the flag off. Self-hosted instances
that never set the flag now let qualified agents use the runner.
- The wizard drops the mission steps and their saved-progress keys. A
user who is mid-wizard on an older build restarts at step 1 after an
upgrade. Existing organizations are not touched.
- The first task no longer runs on its own. A user who neither answers
the card nor types sees no agent activity. This is intended.
- The persona seed applies only to hires that carry the marker from the
wizard. API hires are unchanged.
- Hire idempotency is scoped to one run id and to the exact request.
Retries across runs, or with a changed payload, still create a second
agent. The lock is per server process, which matches how an instance
serves its API.
- Single-select question cards no longer submit on pick. Users of
adapters that relied on that behaviour now press Next.
- No database migrations.

scotttong 597fd63b61 feat(ui): add streamlined navigation foundation (#12746) 2026-09-02 23:55:43 -07:00
DottaandPaperclip 8c3b8c432a Simplify app connections and enable managed Google access (#12728)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps subsystem gives humans and agents governed access to
external tools.
> - The current connection flow hides Apps behind an experimental gate
and repeats setup text.
> - Google sharing choices and generic MCP permissions do not use one
consistent opening model.
> - Self-hosted installs also need a safe default origin for managed
OAuth without a manual config file.
> - This pull request makes Apps available, simplifies connection setup,
and applies one governed permissions model.
> - The benefit is a shorter connection flow that works on a clean
self-hosted install.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the Apps connection setup flow, managed Google connection
flow, generic MCP connection flow, navigation, and runtime origin
discovery.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This changes `ui/`, `server/`, `packages/shared/`,
connector documentation, and browser tests.

**Current behavior**

Apps require an experimental switch. Setup pages repeat titles and
explanatory copy. Connection names require manual input. Google
credential sharing does not always offer both personal and organization
access. Generic MCP providers do not start with the same permission
choices. Managed OAuth needs a public URL setting even when the request
already has a safe HTTPS origin.

**Proposed behavior**

Apps are available by default. Setup asks only for required permissions
and sharing choices. Paperclip creates conflict-free connection names.
Google apps and generic MCP providers use the same human and agent
access model. Managed OAuth derives a validated same-origin HTTPS URL
when no explicit public URL is set.

**Reason and benefit**

A clean self-hosted install can connect a managed Google app without
hidden setup. Humans can share a service account with their
organization. The shorter flow reduces duplicated choices and setup
errors.

**Breaking changes**

The Apps experimental switch is removed. Existing connection APIs remain
compatible. New connections can receive a numeric suffix when a name
already exists.

No duplicate or related public issue was found.

## What Changed

- Removed the Apps experimental gate and the breadcrumb that leaves the
Apps section.
- Simplified all connection setup pages and moved optional provider
requirements into one small link.
- Added consistent human and agent access choices for Google apps,
Zapier, and generic MCP connections.
- Added organization sharing to Google Workspace credentials while
keeping personal access available.
- Generated connection names automatically and resolved name conflicts
with numeric suffixes.
- Derived a validated public HTTPS origin from the request for
config-free managed OAuth.
- Updated connector contracts, tests, browser coverage, and authoring
documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts` (273 passed)
- Targeted UI/service regression suite (308 passed)
- Six targeted Playwright connection journeys on a fresh onboarding
instance (6 passed)
- Fresh-install browser proof through Tailscale HTTPS: enrolled with
Paperclip Cloud, connected managed Google Drive, and completed a real
read operation.
- [Exact-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33669760711):
all 23 matrix jobs passed, including build, typecheck, server,
serialized, canary, and all browser shards.
- Greptile 5/5 on `0ae2a859f269984ee950d0af231a5b09a06f3dfd`, with no
unresolved review threads.

## Risks

Apps are now visible to all operators. The removed experimental flag no
longer hides unfinished app definitions. Managed Google availability
still depends on the Cloud profile rollout and active instance
enrollment. Automatic conflict handling changes only the display name of
a newly conflicting connection.

> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). MCP Tool Gateway and Apps are
shipped. Connected Apps is planned, and this change improves the
existing shipped connection flow.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with reasoning, browser control, tool use, and code
execution.

DottaandPaperclip 141f202e40 Clean up experimental settings features (#12681)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app that people use to manage AI agents
for work.
> - Instance settings control optional product features and developer
tools.
> - The experimental settings page mixed active experiments, internal
tools, and old recovery controls.
> - Some workspace links also used the selected company instead of the
workspace owner.
> - These problems made settings hard to scan and could send users to
the wrong company route.
> - This pull request removes old controls, groups developer settings,
and resolves workspace links from workspace data.
> - The benefit is a smaller settings surface and correct workspace
navigation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the instance experimental settings page, task watchdog
controls, dependency wake recovery, and execution workspace routes.

**Current behavior**

The settings page shows old recovery controls and mixes product
experiments with internal developer settings. Task watchdogs require an
extra feature flag. Some direct workspace links use the current company
prefix instead of the company that owns the workspace.

**Proposed behavior**

Remove the old task recovery experiment and its unused API surface. Make
task watchdog controls available without the removed flag. Put worktree
execution and managed environment controls in the developer section.
Resolve direct workspace links from the workspace owner and reject a
company prefix that does not own the workspace.

**Reason and benefit**

The smaller settings page is easier to understand. The server keeps only
the dependency wake backstop that it still uses. Workspace links open
under the correct company route.

**Breaking changes**

This removes the experimental issue graph recovery preview and run
endpoints. It also removes the task watchdog feature flag. Task watchdog
data and dependency wake behavior remain available.

## What Changed

- Removed the old task watchdog and issue graph recovery feature flags.
- Removed the old issue graph recovery preview, run controls, API
contracts, and unused recovery implementation.
- Kept resolved dependency wakes as the scheduler backstop.
- Grouped product experiments and Paperclip developer settings on the
instance settings page.
- Made task watchdog controls available without an extra experimental
flag.
- Added owner-aware redirects and company checks for execution workspace
routes.
- Hid the false stopped-state badge while a workspace has no active
runtime state.
- Updated focused server and UI tests for the new behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,620 passing tests and four failures
in unchanged workspace runtime port tests. The same four failures repeat
when the two files run alone.
- The complete GitHub CI matrix passed, including all server, serialized
server, build, canary, and end-to-end jobs.

## Risks

- Clients that call the removed experimental recovery endpoints must
stop calling them.
- The route checks depend on workspace detail access. An unknown or
cross-company workspace returns the global not-found page.
- There are no database migrations, lockfile changes, workflow changes,
or design image changes.

Dotta 131f5c4065 feat(runner): add administration and observability (#12641)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Administrators need bounded controls for experimental native
execution.
> - The lower stack adds remote Codex execution and the task workspace.
> - Operators need to configure Codex safely and inspect provider
traces.
> - Unsupported providers must not appear as runnable choices.
> - This pull request adds Codex-only administration and observability.
> - The benefit is a default-off operational surface for production
diagnosis.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12640.
Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Agent configuration, instance experimental settings, run ledger,
provider trace inspector, and administrator actions.

**Problem or motivation**

The native runner lacks one safe operator surface for Codex permissions,
lifecycle, raw trace capture, and run inspection. The integration branch
also contains provider choices that the production backend cannot
execute yet.

**Proposed solution**

Expose only the qualified Codex controls. Keep Paperclip Developer Mode
and runner preview ingress off by default. Gate raw trace actions by
administrator access and existing trace authorization.

**Alternatives considered**

Exposing unfinished providers would create configurations that fail at
runtime. Always-on tracing would increase sensitive data and storage
risk.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports governed Cloud and Sandbox agents and production
diagnostics.

## Stack

- Base PR: #12640.
- Lower PRs: #12639 and #12638.
- This PR contains only its 54-file administration and observability
delta.
- This is the final feature PR in the Codex production stack.

## What Changed

- Added Codex-only Paperclip Runner permission and lifecycle controls.
- Added bounded warm idle configuration.
- Kept the provider field fixed to Codex.
- Added administrator-only one-run raw trace requests.
- Added a persistent future-run raw trace toggle.
- Added trace status, metadata, ledger, and canonical runner inspection.
- Added JSON-RPC request-origin grouping and finalization lineage.
- Restored the stateful PRP transcript parser and focused projection
tests required by trace inspection.
- Added default-off Paperclip Developer Mode.
- Added Honeycomb run links for authorized developer mode.
- Disabled the legacy operational skill for `paperclip_runner`.
- Did not expose OpenCode, ACPX, Pi, Claude Managed, or AWS runner
choices.
- Did not change migrations, workflows, dependencies, or
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run UI tests, server tests, repository typecheck,
build, browser tests, security, and policy gates.
- Tests cover Codex configuration defaults and bounds, administrator
trace actions, persistent settings, ledger inspection, trace lineage,
and Honeycomb links.
- Existing server trace authorization and retention tests remain the
backend authority.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check runner/task-workspace-experience...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 54 files.

## Risks

- Raw provider traces can contain sensitive provider data.
- Existing server authorization controls access, reveal, download,
retention, and deletion.
- The UI gates trace actions by administrator access and developer mode.
- All new instance settings remain off by default.
- Fresh Paperclip Runner configuration remains Codex-only.
- Direct adapters and legacy task behavior do not change in this PR.

Dotta 0a422fda52 feat(runner): add remote execution substrate (#12638)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner gives native runs a durable and governed execution
path.
> - The current native path runs on the control-plane host.
> - Remote environments need an authenticated execution-target contract.
> - The contract must not change direct adapters or enable new runtimes
by default.
> - This pull request adds the remote execution substrate and Daytona
ingress.
> - The benefit is a bounded base for later remote runner transport
work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12616.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change touches runner transport, server
orchestration, plugin contracts, and shared settings.

**Problem or motivation**

Native execution cannot resolve an authenticated runner ingress through
a remote environment. The server also lacks one provider-neutral
contract for remote execution targets.

**Proposed solution**

Add a default-off runner preview ingress capability. Add
transport-neutral runner connectivity. Add remote execution target and
lifecycle handling. Add a Daytona ingress implementation with redacted
credentials.

**Alternatives considered**

A provider-specific server path would duplicate orchestration and
authorization. A public endpoint without an environment contract would
weaken the trust boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the Cloud and Sandbox agents milestone. It also
supports self-healing runs and governed tool access.

## What Changed

- Added execution-target traits for local, SSH, and sandbox
environments.
- Added plugin RPC contracts for runner ingress endpoints.
- Added authenticated Daytona preview ingress.
- Added transport-neutral PRP outbound connections.
- Added remote runner artifact verification and fail-closed provider
selection.
- Added bounded native session resume, cancellation, and lifecycle
recovery.
- Preserved Codex-only selection for fresh experimental runner starts.
- Preserved all direct adapter execution and finalization paths.
- Removed stale Pi provider-pack requirements that security review
rejected.
- Kept the rollout controls off by default.
- Did not change pnpm-lock.yaml, Cargo, database migrations, or GitHub
workflows.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run the repository test, typecheck, build,
security, and policy gates.
- Focused tests cover ingress validation, redaction, execution targets,
remote lifecycle, cancellation, resume, and legacy adapter selection.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passes.
- The diff contains 52 files.

## Risks

- Remote execution crosses a trust boundary.
- The implementation validates target capabilities, artifact digests,
provider-pack pins, and connection metadata.
- The feature remains default-off.
- Fresh native selection remains Codex-only.
- Existing direct adapters remain on the legacy path.
- This PR does not yet make remote Codex runnable. The next PR adds the
Rust WSS and TLS transport.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6. The work used high-reasoning agent mode,
repository tools, GitHub tools, and parallel code-audit agents.

Devin Foley 8f195c2f49 Let operators supply defaults for selected instance settings (#12285)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Hosting operators (a managed cloud, an internal shared server) tune
the settings surface with `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`, but hiding a
control never changes its value
> - An instance whose stored feedback-sharing preference is still the
schema default ("prompt") keeps prompting users even when the operator
hid the control, leaving them no way to answer
> - More generally, operators have no supported way to change what a
setting defaults to without patching code
> - This pull request adds `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS`, a generic
operator-supplied read-time default overlay for registry-listed general
settings
> - The benefit is that any hosting operator can pair "hide the control"
with "default the value", while explicit user choices and self-hosted
stock behavior stay untouched

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists; following the enhancement template:

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Hosting operators need to supply the default value of selected instance
settings (first: `feedbackDataSharingPreference`) via configuration,
without patching code and without a hard-coded, opinionated constant in
the product.

**Subsystem affected**
Server (instance-settings service, feedback service, boot) and
`packages/shared` (settings schemas).

**Current behavior**
Setting defaults are fixed in the shared zod schemas.
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` can hide the feedback-sharing control and
floor writes, but the stored value stays "prompt", so issue-chat
surfaces keep prompting with no way to answer.

**Proposed behavior**
`PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` takes a JSON object validated against a
shared registry of defaultable fields. The operator value substitutes
for the schema default at read time: a field whose effective value is
still the schema default resolves to the operator value; an explicit
non-default user choice always wins. Never persisted; unsetting the
variable restores stock behavior. Malformed JSON or an invalid value for
a known field refuses startup (fail closed); unknown field names warn
and are ignored (mixed-version fleet safe).

**Reason and benefit**
Any hosting operator can pair "hide the control" with "default the
value" without forking the product. Explicit user choices and
self-hosted stock behavior stay untouched.

**Breaking changes**
None. With the variable unset, every read path is byte-identical to
before.

## What Changed

- New `packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.ts`:
`SETTING_DEFAULTS_ENV_KEY`, `DEFAULTABLE_GENERAL_SETTINGS` registry
(currently `feedbackDataSharingPreference`), `parseSettingDefaults`
(fail-closed for policy content, warn-ignore unknown fields),
`applyOperatorGeneralDefaults` (pure read-time overlay),
`stripOperatorGeneralEchoes` (persist-time echo strip, see below),
re-exported from the package index.
- New `server/src/services/setting-defaults.ts`: parse-once accessor
mirroring `settings-visibility.ts`.
- `server/src/services/instance-settings.ts`: `toGeneralView` applies
the overlay in `get`/`getGeneral`/update responses; persisted writes
never carry operator values. Because general-settings writes materialize
every field, a stored schema-default value is treated as unchosen —
deliberate, documented, and covered by tests.
- `server/src/services/feedback.ts`: the preference-persistence branch
now checks the effective (overlaid) preference, so a stray prompt answer
cannot overwrite an operator default; its local normalize fallback now
returns full schema defaults.
- `server/src/index.ts`: boot-time fail-fast parse with a log line
naming the defaulted settings, mirroring the managed-config posture.
- The hidden-settings write floor (`assertNoHiddenSettingChanges`) keeps
comparing against effective values, so clients echoing a full GET
response keep working. To keep the overlay strictly read-time,
`updateGeneral` strips such echoes at persist time: a write of the
operator value over a field whose stored value is still the schema
default (unchosen) maps back to the schema default, so an echo cannot
promote the operator value into an explicit stored choice and later
changes to (or removal of) `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` still take
effect. A write of any other value, or over an explicit stored choice,
persists as given.
- Docs: `PAPERCLIP_SETTING_DEFAULTS` row + "Operator setting defaults"
section in `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`.
- Tests: `packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.test.ts` (parse matrix,
overlay precedence, echo-strip matrix, immutability) and
`server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-operator-defaults.test.ts`
(accessor, substitution, explicit-choice wins, unset identity,
never-persisted, full-GET echo stays unchosen, explicit non-default
write persists).

## Verification

- `npx vitest run packages/shared/src/setting-defaults.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-operator-defaults.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts` — 33
tests passing.
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 57 passing;
`npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/feedback-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-feedback-routes.test.ts` — 18 passing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck` — clean.

## Risks

- Low. With the variable unset every read path is byte-identical to
before (identity overlay, covered by tests). The overlay is read-time
only and never persisted, so no migration and no data risk. Fail-closed
parsing means a bad policy value is a loud boot failure rather than
silent drift — consistent with the existing managed-config contract.

Dotta 397de98193 feat(runner): add flagged Codex execution adapter (#12188)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner now has protocol, provider, tool, package,
persistence, and hidden server boundaries.
> - The server still cannot select that path for a real agent heartbeat.
> - A new runtime must not change any existing direct adapter.
> - An experimental runtime must fail closed when its rollout flag is
off.
> - This pull request adds one guarded Codex vertical slice through
runnerd.
> - The benefit is a production-built runner path that users cannot
start by default.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. The change affects the runner package, server
orchestration, shared settings, and adapter configuration UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The hidden PRP coordinator cannot execute a real heartbeat. The
application also needs an explicit rollout boundary before it can expose
the experimental runner. Existing direct adapters must keep their
current execution and finalization behavior.

**Proposed solution**

Add `paperclip_runner` as a Codex-only adapter behind the default-off
`enableNativeRunner` instance flag. Select the native runtime only for
that adapter. Persist the run binding before runnerd starts. Wait for
the durable PRP result and terminal event. Resume the real Codex
provider thread on later heartbeats. Keep persisted native runs readable
and recoverable after the flag changes.

**Alternatives considered**

The server could route `codex_local` through runnerd. That option would
change an existing adapter and weaken rollback safety. The server could
expose all providers now. That option would add unreviewed provider
behavior. The build could depend on a prebuilt runner binary. That
option would make source builds architecture-dependent and difficult to
verify.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the shipped enforced-outcomes, governed-tool, and
self-healing-run milestones. It does not add a new roadmap surface. It
is the guarded execution step after the merged hidden runner boundaries.

**Additional context**

This is the next replacement for the closed large runner pull request.
Task-thread presentation remains a separate follow-up so this change can
preserve the current direct-adapter UI.

## What Changed

- Add `paperclip_runner` as an explicit Codex-only adapter.
- Add the default-off `enableNativeRunner` instance flag.
- Reject fresh create, hire, import, switch, and execution requests
while the flag is off.
- Allow edits to persisted runner agents while the flag is off.
- Recover an already persisted native run even after the flag is
disabled.
- Keep every built-in direct adapter on its existing runtime path.
- Persist an immutable native run binding and revisioned completion
contract before runnerd starts.
- Execute server to PRP to runnerd to Codex to server through the hidden
coordinator.
- Validate the durable result against the terminal event and exact
completion criteria before finalization.
- Preserve the Codex provider thread ID and use `thread/resume` on the
next heartbeat.
- Strip unsupported Codex configuration fields from the experimental
adapter.
- Build a target-native release runner binary from source and vendor it
into the server distribution.
- Install Rust only in the Docker build stage. Do not add a workflow or
lockfile change.
- Stop the runner process group on completion, cancellation, and forced
shutdown.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner check:all`. All 69
TypeScript tests and 58 Rust tests pass. Protocol, conformance, replay,
formatting, and generated-file checks pass.
- Run the 12 focused adapter, settings, runtime-selection, coordinator,
direct-isolation, and real Codex integration test files. All 186 tests
pass.
- The real integration test uses PostgreSQL, HTTP, WebSocket, runnerd,
and a fake Codex app server. It proves one `thread/start` followed by
one `thread/resume`.
- Run `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm build`.
- Run `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Build the Docker `build` target from a clean context. Confirm that the
server distribution contains an executable `paperclip-runnerd` built
with Debian Rust 1.85.
- Start the server through the source-mode tsx entry point with the
package `dist` directory absent. Confirm the vendor shim resolves source
exports and the server boots.
- Run `pnpm test:run` twice. On this macOS host, 405 files pass and 1
file skips. Eight untouched workspace and loopback tests fail because
macOS resolves `/tmp` and `/var` through `/private` and because
PID-derived test ports exceed 65535. Linux CI must pass the full suite.
- Confirm that the diff contains 52 files. Confirm that it contains no
`.github` or `pnpm-lock.yaml` change.

## Risks

- The feature flag is off by default. A fresh native start fails with a
stable error while the flag is off.
- A persisted native run remains recoverable after the flag changes.
This prevents rollout changes from corrupting recorded work.
- Only local Codex execution is accepted. Other providers and remote
work modes fail closed.
- Existing direct adapters do not start runnerd, create native rows, use
native status arbitration, or enter native finalization.
- The runner receives its one-use bootstrap ticket through the child
environment. The server does not put the ticket in command arguments or
logs.
- The server validates the company, task, agent, run, runner, session,
completion contract, result, and terminal binding before it accepts
completion.
- The build compiles a target-native Rust binary. Cross-platform release
packaging remains a later concern. Source builds and Docker builds
compile for their current target.
- Docker needs enough build memory for the existing server TypeScript
compile. The Docker build stage sets a 4 GB V8 heap limit.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip faab2620ad feat(sandbox): add a duplex transport for Daytona behind a default-off kill switch (#11750)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is an open source app that manages AI agents for work
> - Paperclip runs agents in local and remote sandbox environments
> - A sandbox needs a bounded channel for commands and asynchronous
input
> - Daytona needs a real pseudo-terminal transport for this channel
> - The sandbox gateway also needs a mode that handles channel loss
safely
> - This pull request adds the Daytona transport and gateway mode behind
a default-off kill switch
> - The benefit is a tested foundation for later transport selection

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting (multiple of the above): sandbox providers, plugin SDK,
server settings, and shared types.

**Problem or motivation**

The merged sandbox protocol has no runtime transport for Daytona. The
generated sandbox gateway also has no duplex mode. A later
transport-selection change needs both parts and a safe per-run gate.

**Proposed solution**

Add a Daytona `duplexCommandStream` transport over a raw
pseudo-terminal. Add a generated gateway mode named `duplex_v1`. Add the
`enableSandboxDuplexBridge` setting with a default value of `false`.
Keep transport selection disabled until a later pull request.

**Alternatives considered**

Keep the protocol unused until the transport-selection change. This
would delay provider tests and leave the gateway path without direct
coverage.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change supports the completed Roadmap item for cloud and sandbox
agents. It extends the merged sandbox channel foundation in pull request
#11738.

**Additional context**

The Daytona provider remains an untrusted boundary. Deployments must use
least-privilege provider credentials and provider-side quota controls.
Operators must name an owner for duplex telemetry retention before
rollout.

## What Changed

- Add the Daytona `duplexCommandStream` capability over a raw
pseudo-terminal.
- Add a launch wrapper that disables echo and newline translation for
NDJSON frames.
- Close channels on lease release, destroy, resume of a stopped worker,
and worker shutdown.
- Declare the capability in the Daytona manifest and set
`PLUGIN_VERSION` to `0.1.5`.
- Add the worker-to-host notification sink at `ctx.duplexChannel.data`
and `ctx.duplexChannel.exit`.
- Add the generated sandbox gateway mode
`PAPERCLIP_API_BRIDGE_MODE=duplex_v1`.
- Add channel-loss results of `409 outcome_indeterminate` and `503
bridge_unavailable`.
- Add the per-run setting `enableSandboxDuplexBridge`, with a default
value of `false`.
- Add unit tests, generated-source codec tests, lifecycle tests, and a
credential-gated live Daytona test.

## Verification

- Daytona suite: 185 tests pass.
- Adapter utilities: 754 tests pass and 4 tests skip.
- Plugin SDK: 62 tests pass.
- Shared package: 28 tests pass.
- Server duplex tests pass.
- Shared, plugin SDK, server, and Daytona TypeScript checks pass.
- The live Daytona test passes 3 cases when `DAYTONA_API_KEY` is set.
- The live Daytona test skips 3 cases without `DAYTONA_API_KEY`.
- CI must run the full workspace typecheck, test, and build gates after
PR creation.

## Risks

- The Daytona control plane and pseudo-terminal remain untrusted
boundaries.
- The duplex gateway changes behavior only when the mode and per-run
setting enable it.
- A lost channel fails requests without replay, so callers must handle
indeterminate outcomes.
- The transport-selection change must require both `duplexCommandStream
=== true` and `enableSandboxDuplexBridge === true`.
- The provider credential and quota limits need operator control before
rollout.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution.

Devin Foley 0044fa8904 Let tenants edit env vars on managed sandbox environments; add managed-sandbox-only mode (#11200)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environments give each agent run an execution target: the local
host, SSH, or a sandbox provider
> - A managed deployment can provision one platform-managed sandbox
environment through the `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` `environments`
section
> - That row is fully locked today. A tenant cannot add environment
variables for their agents. There is also no way to hide local execution
— run selection falls back to the local row
> - A platform that manages the sandbox for its tenants needs both: the
tenant adds env vars (and nothing else), and local execution is neither
visible nor reachable
> - This pull request opens exactly one tenant edit (env vars) on the
managed sandbox row, and adds an `enableManagedSandboxOnly` mode that
hides local and makes run selection fail closed
> - The benefit is a complete managed-sandbox experience with no change
for self-hosted instances

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Environments (managed sandbox provisioning, environment routes, run
environment selection) and the environments UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Platform-provisioned sandbox environments
(`metadata.managedByPaperclip`) reject every write on cloud-managed
instances. Agents often need environment variables inside their sandbox.
The tenant has no way to set them on the managed row. Separately, an
operator cannot remove local execution: the environment list always
shows the local row, and run selection falls back to it when no default
is set.

**Proposed solution**

Allow an envVars-only PATCH on the managed sandbox row, and echo those
env vars back for editing. Add a managed-tier feature
(`enableManagedSandboxOnly`) that hides the local environment from all
read surfaces and redirects local-landing run selection to the managed
sandbox environment, failing closed when it is unavailable.

**Alternatives considered**

UI-only hiding of the local row. This was rejected: it does not stop a
run from resolving to local, so it is presentation without enforcement.
Full unlock of the managed row was also rejected: name, driver, and
config stay platform-owned so boot reconciliation cannot fight tenant
edits.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/environments.ts`: the platform-provisioned write
floor admits an envVars-only PATCH on the generalized managed sandbox
row (sandbox driver, `managedByPaperclip`, not legacy kubernetes-marker
rows). Name, driver, config, status, metadata, and DELETE stay rejected.
The read floor stops blanking env vars on that row; credential-shaped
config keys stay redacted for every actor. Legacy kubernetes-marker rows
keep the full floor.
- Same file: under `enableManagedSandboxOnly`, the environments list and
the by-id read omit the local row for every actor, including instance
admins.
- `server/src/services/execution-workspace-policy.ts`:
`resolveExecutionWorkspaceEnvironmentId` gains the managed-sandbox-only
inputs. A selection that lands on the local environment is redirected to
the managed sandbox environment. With no active managed row it throws
`ManagedSandboxUnavailableError` — never local. Non-local selections
(ssh, user-created sandboxes) are untouched.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: the run path reads the flag, looks
up the managed row (`findManagedSandboxEnvironment`, new read-only
finder in `environments.ts`), and passes both to the resolver. Mirrors
the forced-kubernetes precedent, which keeps precedence when both
regimes are on.
- `server/src/services/managed-environments.ts`: after a successful
reconcile, the instance default environment moves to the managed sandbox
row when the current default is unset, local, or dangling. A
tenant-chosen custom environment is never overridden.
- `packages/shared`: new `enableManagedSandboxOnly` key (schema default
false, catalog tier `managed`, cloudDefault false, selfHostedDefault
false) and the matching interface field.
- UI: managed rows show a "Managed by Paperclip" lock badge; editing one
opens a dedicated env-vars-only editor that sends the one PATCH shape
the server admits (the old full form failed with a 403 on save). New
`ui/src/lib/managed-sandbox-environment.ts` mirrors the local filter for
cached lists (applied in the project picker; the agent picker already
excluded local). The experimental settings page gains the toggle at its
alphabetical card position. `environmentsApi.update` now declares the
`envVars` field it already sent.
- Tests: environment route floor coverage (envVars-only accepted, mixed
bodies rejected, legacy rows still blanked and locked, local hidden and
404 under the flag, self-hosted unchanged), an embedded-postgres service
test pinning that boot reconciliation never touches tenant env vars,
resolver redirect/fail-closed cases, managed-environments
default-stamping cases, and UI lib/settings tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts
src/services/managed-environments.test.ts` — all pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run` — 425 pass
(catalog/schema default parity is pinned by an existing test).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc --noEmit` and the affected UI
suites (CompanyEnvironments, InstanceExperimentalSettings incl.
card-order test, new lib test) — all pass.
- Full workspace `pnpm test`: 3,414 passed. 17 files report failures on
this machine; the identical 17 fail on a clean `origin/master` worktree
in the same environment (git-worktree/skills/embedded-postgres
environment dependencies and plugin-SDK zero-test collections). One
additional file (`issue-monitor-scheduler.test.ts`) failed one
timing-sensitive test in one of two full-suite runs and passes 7/7 in
isolation on this branch — a flake in a domain this diff does not touch.
The branch introduces no new failures.
- Self-hosted zero-delta: every new behavior is gated on the
cloud-managed instance check or the new flag, which defaults to false in
schema and catalog; pinned by the "does not floor platform-marked rows
on self-hosted instances" and flag-off tests.

## Risks

- Behavior is opt-in twice over: the write-floor exception applies only
to rows the managed-config provisioner stamps, and the hiding/forcing
applies only when `enableManagedSandboxOnly` is on (default false
everywhere). Self-hosted instances see no change.
- The env-vars echo is scoped to the generalized managed sandbox row;
legacy kubernetes-marker rows keep the blanket floor because
pre-generalization builds may have written platform values there.
- Fail-closed run selection means a managed instance with the flag on
and an archived managed row (provider plugin down) refuses runs with a
precise error instead of running locally. That is the intended posture.

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking, agentic tool use
via Claude Code CLI.
