scotttongandPaperclip 71f0c0c99e feat: add opt-in Coordinator workspace for chat, tasks, and decisions (#17983)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/147/changes/paperclip/147
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People coordinate work through conversations, tasks, and requests
for input.
> - These surfaces must share task state and preserve the context of
each decision.
> - The existing workspace makes people switch surfaces to follow that
context.
> - This pull request adds an optional Coordinator workspace with linked
conversations, tasks, documents, and decisions.
> - Each person can enable it in Settings > Experimental and return to
the classic workspace.
> - The benefit is a coherent path from a request to an assigned task
and reviewed work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
UI, server, shared contracts, and database.

**Problem or motivation**
People need a consistent way to start tasks from agent conversations,
answer questions, review work, and return to the source context.
Decisions and task state must agree across these surfaces.

**Proposed solution**
Add a personal, default-off workspace experiment. Keep one conversation
per agent. Add task proposals, compact task and decision cards,
contextual document panels, and a Needs You queue with search, filters,
sorting, grouping, and history.

**Alternatives considered**
Replacing the classic workspace for everyone would remove the opt-out
path. Keeping separate decision state in each surface would create
conflicting answers. This change uses the existing canonical task and
interaction records instead.

**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing agent chat, task management, and human review
capabilities. It is an experimental presentation choice. The user
requested this isolated implementation after design review. No Discord
discussion is claimed.

## What Changed

- Add per-person workspace preferences, a default-off setting, and an
additive migration.
- Add Coordinator navigation, pinned destinations, task lists, agent
switching, and contextual panels.
- Link task suggestions and creation to the source conversation. Default
new task ownership to the current agent unless the user specifies
another owner.
- Share pending questions, decision receipts, exact review targets, and
history across tasks, chat, and Needs You.
- Preserve task access, assignment authorization, revision binding, and
required output review gates.
- Add compact document links, relative timestamps, composer controls,
and reduced-motion support for task and decision transitions.
- Add component stories, regression coverage, and capability-map
documentation.

## Verification

- Final head: `4b839aae1e314bd7e8635a766f1d205ff1c03ba6`, based on
master `8bc051245f77a47bee0f8ba45896b8bfa5922e0a`. Verified October 29,
2026 at 00:10 UTC: **MERGEABLE, 56 checks passed, four conditional
skips, no pending or failed checks**. [Current CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40790639688)
passed without a rerun on this head.
- Fresh Greptile **5/5**, zero new comments and zero open review
threads; Superagent passed with no suspicious changes.
[Checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17983/checks).
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed after the latest rebase. The
final account-read patch passed UI typecheck/build and all 12 related
preference/settings tests, including a delayed real-client request
across account changes. Earlier scoped checks cover review
deduplication/replay, decision deep links, cross-surface state, access
boundaries, and migration replay.
- Local database/browser rechecks after the latest rebase were limited
by exhausted macOS shared-memory IDs: `initdb` failed before database
creation. The local run passed 31 UI/snapshot tests and skipped 24
database tests; those skips and the blocked local browser start are not
claimed as passes. The independent Linux CI database and browser checks
passed. No running dev database or host setting was changed.
- Upstream migration 0403 is preserved. Preferences and durable review
retry aliases are generated as replay-safe migrations
`0404_tense_silver_sable.sql` and `0405_harsh_avengers.sql`; five newest
snapshots are retained. Every detected conflict was rebased and pushed
before waiting for CI/review, as requested.
- The PR is unmerged. The active master ruleset still requires
code-owner approval for the changed Paperclip skill; no approval or rule
change was performed.

<details>
<summary>Earlier verification failures, integration history, and
evidence</summary>

These entries preserve prior checkpoints and failures; the current
acceptance result is above.

- Focused UI and server checks from the isolated build are recorded in
the implementation plan.
- Browser checks covered the opt-in shell, navigation, task/document
links, and decision card states. No new live provider trial is claimed
for this handoff.
- Current acceptance head: `4b839aae1e314bd7e8635a766f1d205ff1c03ba6`,
rebased onto master `8bc051245` immediately after its GitHub
review-repair migration took 0403. Preferences are generated as
idempotent `0404_tense_silver_sable.sql`, preserving upstream
SQL/journal/snapshot history and five newest snapshots. GitHub reports
MERGEABLE after the immediate lease-protected push. Scott's updated
instruction is to rebase and push every conflict resolution first,
without waiting for CI or Greptile; verification follows the push.
- The final reviewed feature tree was consolidated for repeatable
single-commit rebases. The complete previous commit history remains
reachable through local recovery ref
`codex/coordinator-recovery-before-rebase-20261028` (resolved snapshot
`0e1bbdf4e`). The actual rebase completed, and its tree hash exactly
matches that resolved snapshot. The force-with-lease required the known
remote head `0e6ef7c44`, protecting against concurrent branch changes.
No PR merge or permission/runner setting change occurred. Fresh
CI/review are in progress for the current head.
- `2001132fa` received Greptile 5/5 with one nonblocking account-switch
read finding. Current head detaches path-coalesced preference GETs and
disables HTTP caching, retaining React Query's account-scoped sharing. A
delayed real-client GET regression proves account B can load its saved
choice before account A responds, and A's late response only updates A's
cache. Preference/settings tests 12/12 and UI typecheck passed; its
review thread is resolved. Fresh current-head CI/reviews are pending.
The prior CI chat shard 3 ended with “The operation was canceled” and no
assertion failure ([job
123171595631](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40789688333/job/123171595631),
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-chat3.log`); no code/timeout change is attributed
to that cancellation.
- `843e823b4` reached fresh Greptile 5/5 with zero comments/open threads
and Superagent pass. All browser tests including the repaired YAML shard
passed, and 54 checks passed. General server shard 9 ended with “The
operation was canceled” and no failed assertion; its test step was
marked cancelled (job
[123164350893](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40787501761/job/123164350893),
log `/tmp/pr17983-843e-server9.log`). A single unchanged-head rerun was
started after the workflow completed, but master moved while it ran. A
local nested-clone check timed out in its 30-second database-startup
hook and then failed cleanup before the 20 database cases ran; this is
retained as a local verification limit
(`/tmp/pr17983-843e-nested-clone-check.log`), not claimed as a pass or
proof of the CI cancellation cause.
- Following Scott's instruction, the new conflict was rebased and pushed
immediately without waiting for that rerun. Upstream's
`0403_natural_cerise.sql` is preserved; regenerated preferences and
retry-alias migrations are `0404_tense_silver_sable.sql` and
`0405_harsh_avengers.sql`, replay-safe with five newest snapshots
retained. The YAML helper conflict combines upstream's click and header
behavior with the editor-selection guard and injected regression.
Recovery ref `codex/coordinator-recovery-843e823b4` preserves pre-rebase
work. Current head is MERGEABLE. Full workspace typecheck/build passed;
UI and snapshot checks passed 31 tests, but 24 database tests were
skipped by the local support probe, and the local browser server could
not initialize PostgreSQL. A direct disposable `initdb` diagnostic
established the host limitation: `could not create shared memory
segment: No space left on device` (`shmget`, shared-memory IDs
exhausted, not disk space). No dev database or host setting was changed.
Diagnostics: `/tmp/pr17983-2001132-initdb-probe.log`,
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-db-probe.log`; checks:
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-tests.log`, `/tmp/pr17983-2001132-browser.log`,
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-types.log`, `/tmp/pr17983-2001132-build.log`.
These local skipped/blocked checks are not claimed as passes; fresh CI
on independent runners is in progress.
- `d18f683cd` reached fresh Greptile 5/5 with zero comments/open threads
and Superagent pass, but [E2E shard
7](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40785966243/job/123159719925)
failed parsing an Advanced YAML clipboard read beginning with “Skip to
Main Content.” The log is retained at `/tmp/pr17983-d18f-e2e7.log`.
Current head hardens the test helper to verify editor focus and
selection, clear stale clipboard content, and require the YAML header at
the start of a fresh copy before parsing. Saved-state assertions and
timeouts are unchanged. All six Advanced YAML browser journeys passed on
a disposable local instance (41.0s); the exact lost-response journey
also passed with a one-time injected surrounding-page copy, verifying
rejection/reacquisition (17.6s). The precise browser focus/clipboard
timing in CI remains unproven; the observed invalid-read path is now
guarded and deterministically exercised. Logs:
`/tmp/pr17983-yaml-clipboard-scope-browser.log`,
`/tmp/pr17983-yaml-clipboard-injected-browser.log`. Fresh current-head
CI and reviews are pending.
- `19e6dcb0b` passed Superagent and Greptile 5/5, with one nonblocking
deep-link finding. Current head preserves attention links using
`?decisionId=`: the requested pending decision is rendered even beyond
the first 40 cards, focused and scrolled into view, then only that
parameter is consumed so later refreshes do not refocus. Other URL
parameters remain. Needs You tests 10/10 and UI typecheck passed; its
review thread is resolved. The preceding post-rebase regression run
passed 45/45 tests. Fresh current-head CI/reviews are pending.
- `6d772b7cc` reached Greptile 5/5 with zero comments/open threads and
Superagent pass. While 32 checks had passed, master moved and caused a
documentation conflict in `maps/feature-map/onboarding.md`. Rebased
immediately, preserving both onboarding paragraphs. The complete
four-commit branch was pushed as `19e6dcb0b` before waiting on
CI/review, per Scott's instruction. A transient Git index lock
interrupted the first continue; the command sequence briefly pushed
intermediate `34e298c07`, then the completed rebase was immediately
pushed. All feature and security/retry fixes are present; local recovery
ref `codex/coordinator-recovery-6d772b7cc` preserves the pre-rebase
history. The only tree differences from that ref are upstream's two
smoke-test files and the combined documentation paragraph. GitHub
reports MERGEABLE. Fresh current-head verification is in progress;
prior-head review results are not current acceptance.
- `21efa3120` passed Superagent but Greptile scored 4/5 for a valid
retry-key persistence bug: an acknowledged duplicate key could reopen a
resolved review. Current head adds an additive, replay-safe
`0404_light_swarm.sql` migration for indexed, task-scoped aliases from
acknowledged retry keys to the canonical interaction. Alias registration
and retry lookup occur under the existing task lock; payload/actor
mismatch still conflicts, and each canonical review permits at most 100
aliases. Original and acknowledged keys replay the terminal result
rather than creating a new gate. Five newest migration snapshots are
retained. Service/routes tests 165/165 passed; final quality review plus
migration replay/snapshot checks 25/25 passed; server typecheck passed.
The P1 thread is resolved in code; fresh current-head reviews and CI are
pending.
- `69c2c7543` passed 55 checks and Greptile 5/5 with no open Greptile
findings, but Superagent check
[123140675812](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17983/checks?check_run_id=123140675812)
correctly flagged unbounded pending quality-card creation. Current head
fixes that under the existing task-row lock: equivalent requests with
fresh idempotency keys reuse the pending card; conflicting requests for
an unresolved deliverable return the existing interaction ID; pending
cards are capped at ten per task across all reviewers. Distinct outputs
remain independent, and already-answered items in a partially pending
batch can receive a fresh review. Added real-database concurrency,
cross-card duplicate, partial-answer, and hard-cap regressions. Quality
review 22/22 tests and final server typecheck passed; earlier
service/routes 163/163 tests passed before the final partial-answer
refinement. One added assertion initially expected a service HTTP error,
but duplicate keys are rejected earlier by the existing shared schema;
the assertion now verifies that validation. Fresh current-head
CI/reviews are pending; the action-required security result is not
treated as passed.
- `c9c575e5f` completed all 56 checks successfully with four conditional
skips, Greptile 5/5, and Superagent pass. Its two P2 review findings are
fixed in the current head: independently bound quality approvals now
each remain visible in attention; changing/clearing URL-backed
assignee/status filters updates the URL and survives task navigation.
Both review threads are resolved. Regression evidence: attention service
34/34 tests passed, CoordinatorTasks 20/20 passed, UI and server
typechecks and the full workspace build passed on `69c2c7543`. The first
new UI test run caught an assertion racing React Router's transition;
waiting for the navigation before asserting passes without weakening the
navigation/remount checks. These older-head green checks are not claimed
for the new fix commit.
- Preceding `0e6ef7c44` completed all 56 checks successfully with four
conditional skips, fresh Greptile 5/5 and no open findings, and passed
Superagent. A fifth migration-metadata collision arrived before the
final Runner job finished. Those green results are preserved as
prior-head evidence, not current acceptance.
- Previous fully verified migration head:
`0e6ef7c44696a377f35e69521b93587576374bd0`, integrating master
`f8226b051` after the fourth migration-number collision. Master added
terminal GitHub-response migration 0401 while the final native check
ran; upstream 0401 SQL/journal/snapshot is preserved unchanged, and
preferences are generated as idempotent `0402_yielding_blink.sql` on
top. Exactly the five newest snapshots remain. GitHub reports MERGEABLE
after the push. All 1,155 relevant
migration/review/interaction/native-execution/remote-assets tests,
workspace typecheck/build, migration guards and whitespace checks pass.
Fresh exact-head CI/Greptile/Superagent are pending.
- Immediately preceding head `36c67cf03` completed all 56 checks
successfully with four conditional skips, fresh Greptile 5/5 and no open
findings, plus passed Superagent security. No retry was needed for that
head's CI. Master advanced and introduced only a migration-metadata
conflict while its final native check ran, so that green result does not
establish acceptance of the current integration. Four consecutive
collisions (0398, 0399, 0400, 0401) during verification are retained as
concrete integration churn; a brief pause of competing migration merges
was requested, without assuming it happened or changing any repo
setting. The PR has not been merged.
- Prior fully verified head: `36c67cf03`, on the clean `30059c0ed`
integration of master `efd65c112`. The last Greptile P2 is fixed: Needs
attention retains the participant-agent scope through authoritative
server membership queries for each pending task, including historical
participation when another agent currently owns the task. It does not
approximate participation with current assignment or enumerate every
company task. The actual view-switch regression and all 31 focused
task/routing/collection tests, UI typecheck/build, token gates and
whitespace checks pass. Greptile completed a fresh 5/5 review on this
exact head (review 19) with zero new comments and no open review
threads. CI and Superagent remain in progress; no current-head CI
failure has been reported.
- Head `30059c0ed` received Greptile 5/5 with that one nonblocking
participant finding, now fixed. Superagent passed that head.
Current-base integration restored the ephemeral RunsOn fleet after a
superseded workflow retained queued aggregate jobs: normal cancellation
was insufficient; the single force-cancel request was interrupted but
readback confirmed that obsolete run cancelled and current CI began on
the trusted fleet. No cancellation retry or runner/security/workflow
changes were made. Its partial CI was superseded by the necessary
participant fix and is not current acceptance.
- Previous compatibility/base-sync head:
`30059c0ededc0eab4e04e8299a884f36db8b292f`, integrating master
`efd65c112` and the Inbox/workspace compatibility fixes. GitHub reports
MERGEABLE after the push. Coordinator keeps Inbox standalone under More
without rewriting the instance's Combined Inbox preference; opting out
restores that preference. Saved merged-Inbox URLs resolve to their
original owner, task status presets remain usable, and canonical
repeated `workspace` parameters retain scoped, deduplicated pagination
(including Needs attention). All 192 broader
routing/Inbox/sidebar/privacy/review tests and the final 16 task-page
tests pass, as do workspace typecheck/build, token gates and whitespace
checks. The two review threads are resolved. Fresh exact-head CI,
Greptile and Superagent results are pending.
- The preceding `d5b9be5bd` remained mergeable but its CI routing gate
intentionally fell back to GitHub-hosted runners: “stacked base merge
commit does not contain the current base branch.” All 45 downstream jobs
stayed queued. Current master was merged cleanly to refresh the pinned
base; no runner/security settings or workflow logic were changed.
Greptile scored that preceding head 4/5 with the two compatibility
findings fixed here. Its automatic Superagent scan was inconclusive at
checkout; the documented retry was still pending when superseded. Those
results do not establish acceptance of this current head.
- Previous approval/migration head:
`d5b9be5bd3b8d6b0437e42bf48138377f34fa67d`, integrating master
`ba5bba86d` and the stale-output approval correction. GitHub reports
MERGEABLE after the push. The fresh P1 finding is fixed: every submitted
item now validates and locks its bound output inside the resolution
transaction, whether or not it carries a required-quality-review
binding. Real database regressions verify that an advanced document
revision or deleted attachment refuses the entire batch without
recording approvals, and current ordinary output reviews still resolve.
All 272 combined migration/review/interaction tests pass; workspace
typecheck/build passed. Fresh exact-head Greptile and CI are pending.
The automatic Superagent scan ended inconclusive at checkout; one
documented on-demand retry is pending. These are explicit verification
limits, not passed security results. The P1 thread is resolved.
- Master consumed the next migration slot three times during this
verification pass: confirmation recovery took 0398, continuation
recovery took 0399, and GitHub acknowledgement recovery took 0400. Each
upstream SQL/journal/snapshot is preserved unchanged. Preferences are
now generated as idempotent `0401_white_lenny_balinger.sql` from
upstream 0400; exactly five snapshots remain, and replay coverage
locates this migration by table content. This is recorded concurrent
integration churn, not a claim that older green results apply to the
latest base.
- Head `ed3b68da9` fixed the two history/URL findings with 26 focused
regression tests, server/UI typechecks, workspace build and token gates
passing. Greptile then scored that head 4/5 with the stale-output P1
corrected in the current head. Its partial CI is superseded, not counted
as current acceptance.
- Previous filter-fix head: `ed3b68da9`, based on the `8458d39d9` merge
of master `063cfd438`. The two fresh Greptile findings are fixed:
history outcome filters now match recorded per-item verdicts in SQL
before pagination (mixed reviews remain in both applicable outcomes),
and same-page URL assignee changes/back/forward navigation update that
filter without clearing independent filters. All 26 focused
database/navigation/collection tests, server/UI typechecks, workspace
build, token gates and whitespace checks pass. The two review threads
are resolved. Fresh exact-head CI, Greptile and Superagent results are
pending.
- The `8458d39d9` migration integration also passed all 328 targeted
migration/interaction/confirmation tests, workspace typecheck/build and
Superagent security scan. Greptile scored that head 4/5 with the two
functional gaps fixed in the current head; those prior-head checks are
not current acceptance.
- Migration integration head:
`8458d39d9721f4cb312c2390070a0609f8cddd1a`, integrating master
`063cfd43813cabf18417605fb9eefb9aacf95c8d`. GitHub reports MERGEABLE
after the push. Master advanced twice during this conflict-resolution
pass: first its confirmation-recovery migration took 0398, then its
continuation-recovery migration took 0399. Both upstream migrations and
journal entries remain unchanged; Coordinator preferences are now
generated as idempotent `0400_sad_guardian.sql` from upstream's latest
snapshot. Exactly the five newest snapshots remain. The replay
regression now locates the table migration by content instead of
hardcoding a renumbered filename.
- All 328 targeted question/review/confirmation/migration tests passed
again after the second merge. Workspace typecheck/build and fresh
exact-head CI/reviews are in progress. The preceding `0c46f46d6` passed
workspace typecheck/build and Superagent security scan, but was
superseded because master consumed migration 0399 while those checks
ran. That prior-head result is not acceptance of the current head. No
production settings or runner/security permissions were changed, and the
PR has not been merged.
- Previous integration head: `0c46f46d6f2b23417ab872ce3cb6ff2673647287`,
integrating master `287b04d72f1b9fca1412e05435c75b8302ba0710`. GitHub
reports MERGEABLE after the push. The renewed conflicts were
`0398_snapshot.json`, `_journal.json`, and the top imports in
`issue-thread-interactions.ts`. Upstream's `0398` confirmation-recovery
index and journal history are preserved unchanged; Coordinator
preferences were regenerated as idempotent `0399_bouncy_miek.sql`, with
replay coverage updated and exactly the five newest snapshots retained.
Both terminal confirmation notifications and Coordinator task
assignment/required review behavior are preserved.
- All 328 targeted interaction/review/confirmation/migration tests pass,
as do workspace typecheck, map validation and whitespace checks. The
workspace build and fresh exact-head CI/Greptile/Superagent checks are
pending. The first migration-generation attempt hit the sandbox's local
IPC restriction before generating files; the unchanged authorized local
generation completed successfully. Prior-head green checks below do not
establish acceptance of this merge.
- Previous acceptance head: `8b7dcf739ed15afc51351fdfa0e0e5fbc75ab788`,
with master `1aa3a21ac` integrated and GitHub reporting MERGEABLE.
Greptile completed a fresh 5/5 review on this exact head with zero new
actionable findings and no open review threads. The [fresh CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40752864319)
completed SUCCESS on attempt 2 at 19:40:08 UTC, including all eight E2E
shards. Final completed check set: 55 succeeded, four conditional checks
skipped, zero pending/queued/running checks, and one
neutral/inconclusive Superagent scan. The auxiliary commitperclip review
and isolated native Runner compilation/cache-reuse check both passed.
This is not a claim that Superagent produced a passed security verdict.
GitHub still reports MERGEABLE against current master
`60b8089a44b4eaa37e627adbfdf2f130bda13335`.
- Current-head E2E: all eight shards and the aggregate passed, including
the previously failing YAML browser journey. Serialized server shard 9/9
failed: the protected YAML projection test exceeded its original
15-second timeout; its late update request then reached the next test's
reset mock (the captured payload is the prior test's model/label
update). All 88 tests in that exact unchanged file passed locally in
38.03 seconds, with no timeout or assertion changes. The original
slow-request cause remains unproven. CI failure log:
`/tmp/pr17983-8b7-serialized9.log`; local recovery:
`/tmp/pr17983-adapter-yaml-repro.log`. The single bounded unchanged
shard rerun passed, and the workflow completed SUCCESS. Rerun log:
`/tmp/pr17983-8b7-serialized9-rerun.log`. The initial failure is
retained; a passing retry does not establish its original slow-request
cause.
- Greptile scored preceding head `4873704be` 5/5 with one valid P2:
opened task decision records missed company-scoped live invalidation.
The current head uses the existing company decision prefix for
resolution and effect-completion events, and resets private record
payloads on access changes. Its thread is resolved. All 107 focused
record/live-update tests, UI typecheck/build, token checks and
whitespace checks pass.
- CI on `4873704be` failed E2E shard 7/8 in the Advanced YAML
lost-creation-response journey: its clipboard helper selected page text
starting with “Skip to Main Content” instead of YAML. The exact
unchanged journey passed in a disposable local browser instance (1 test,
17.1 seconds). No assertion, timeout or production behavior was
weakened; the original failure cause remains unproven. Failure log:
`/tmp/pr17983-487-e2e7.log`; local check:
`/tmp/pr17983-agent-yaml-repro.log`. The full unchanged Advanced YAML
browser suite also passed locally (6 tests, 37.8 seconds). Fresh
current-head CI subsequently passed this journey and all other E2E
shards.
- Both the automatic and one supported on-demand Superagent scan on
`4873704be` ended neutral/inconclusive: “Pinned PR scan merge-base
checkout failed or timed out.” These do not count as a passed security
verdict. The current head's automatic scan and one documented on-demand
retry also returned the identical neutral checkout failure, with zero
annotations or further diagnostics. This is an external scanner blocker,
not a passed security verdict. No security settings or permissions were
changed.
- Recorded decision links now render and focus the full source-task
record in both Classic and Coordinator, including recorded choice,
submitted inputs, and the existing effect-result resolver. Fresh
terminal records take precedence over older open-decision cache entries.
Context and account checks keep mismatched or inaccessible records out
of the DOM; no decision-history tab was added to tasks or chat. The
shared company live-run feed now drives live-only filtering, including
ended runs and terminal tasks with stale run entries. All 213 focused
tests, UI typecheck/build, token and whitespace checks pass; the final
focus follow-up passed all 188 task-detail tests and UI typecheck. The
first new navigation test failed because its test host omitted company
context; the host was corrected before the passing run.
- Previous integration head: `375c5e89516705050d94bab99336212841b2e6e1`
merges master `1aa3a21ac` after four additional upstream commits. The
sole conflict was competing imports in `server/src/services/issues.ts`;
both quality-review policy and inbound wake-notice notifications are
preserved. The PR-specific review import now sits beside
execution-policy imports instead of the frequently changing first line.
GitHub mergeability is rechecked after the push.
- On the combined master tree, workspace typecheck/build, all 153
affected UI tests, map validation, and whitespace checks pass. Four
server suites passed 77 tests; the fifth suite's module-import hook
timed out while broad verification was running. Its unchanged isolated
run passed all 41 tests in 7.2 seconds with the original timeout. This
records recovery without claiming the original import-timeout cause is
proven. CI on `375c5e895` passed every substantive job, including all
eight E2E shards and Superagent; Greptile found the two functional gaps
fixed in the current head. A short-lived `669d90876` commit added the
main fixes before the focused navigation follow-up.
- Immediately preceding head `9d9737b49` completed all 56 checks
successfully with four conditional skips, Greptile 5/5 and no open
findings, plus a successful Superagent scan. The signoff E2E shard
passed on its single accepted rerun; its initial cancellation/timing
failure is retained below. Master moved again while those checks ran,
requiring this final integration rather than treating the prior head's
green result as current acceptance.
- Previous head `9d9737b496911a6054d0ea22d1b42b28b115e9ab` includes
master `d30c8f42b842327ee1c18c41a2efd6ba623da5cd`; that head was
subsequently conflicted by moving master. The master merge preserved
durable account-bound writes and Coordinator UX. Workspace
typecheck/build, 416 focused UI tests, and 142 affected comment-route
tests passed. A stable full UI run on preceding head `938ad1665` passed
all 9,833 tests across 836 files; its final full workspace build also
passed.
- Greptile found nested proposal project inheritance and Classic
bound-revision links on `91be74952`. Both were fixed with 142
interaction-route tests, 113 focused UI tests, and UI/server typechecks.
Its next review identified a valid draft-preservation bug in the new
Classic loading UI. Head `9d9737b49` keeps loading/error notices outside
editors and annotations while preserving dirty drafts; 115 focused
review UI tests pass, including pending/failed revision loads and
continued draft editing. All related threads are resolved. Greptile
completed a fresh 5/5 review of
`9d9737b496911a6054d0ea22d1b42b28b115e9ab` with no open findings.
- CI on `938ad1665` exposed an integration regression with the newly
merged durable startup saves: the personal preference gate blocked the
task page before its first session lookup. The guarded title editor now
mounts while that lookup is pending, with presentation-specific tools
still gated. All 216 affected component tests pass. The unchanged
five-test `disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts` browser suite passes
against a newly launched disposable local-trusted PostgreSQL instance on
port 33219, including the exact failed startup-save journey. No live
provider, hosted authentication or production proof is claimed. The
helper-owned test server exited and the port has no listener. UI
typecheck, built-browser assets, token and whitespace checks pass.
- Initial durable-write merge tests found duplicate imports and unscoped
draft fixtures, fixed before 416 focused tests passed. A sandbox
typecheck could not create its IPC socket; the supported rerun passed.
The first revision-link test used a wrong Return to latest button
assertion, corrected before the 113-test pass. The startup E2E
reproduction initially still failed because an outer shell gate also
blocked the page; the subsequent fix passed all five cases without
changing the test or its timeouts. A focused loading-header assertion
initially used an incorrect fixture title; correcting it preceded the
216-test pass. These failures remain recorded.
- Earlier routing gates fell back to GitHub-hosted runners while master
was moving or conflicted. Superseded queued runs were cancelled, then
the `938ad1665` routing gate explicitly selected the ephemeral RunsOn
fleet. Its CI actively executed and completed most tests; only the
diagnosed startup E2E shard and aggregate failed, alongside the valid
Greptile finding. Auxiliary GitHub-hosted workflows also completed
successfully on earlier heads, so queueing alone is not an
administrative blocker. Fresh [CI on
`9d9737b49`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40744012678)
is the acceptance target; the previously failing startup E2E shard now
passes. A different signoff E2E shard failed during executor
resubmission when its fixture run was cancelled as
`issue_continuation_waiting_on_review`. The exact unchanged journey
passed locally (1 test, 46 seconds), and the preceding head with
identical server/signoff code passed that CI shard. This supports a
bounded rerun but does not establish the timing failure's root cause.
After the workflow finished, GitHub accepted one rerun of that failed
shard and its dependent aggregate; both passed, completing all checks on
that head. The failure log is retained at `/tmp/pr17983-9d9737-e2e7.log`
and the local reproduction at `/tmp/pr17983-signoff-repro.log`. No
assertion or timeout was weakened.
- On the first merge, full workspace typecheck/build, all 9,622 UI
tests, 267 tests across seven affected server suites, two migration
checks, map validation, token gates, and the PR diff whitespace check
passed. Greptile then found duplicate local task-search filtering and
lost completed item-review detail. Both are fixed, with 42 passing
focused UI tests and passing UI typecheck/build.
- A subsequent Greptile review found attachment confirmations without
working links and mobile history without a visible host. Confirmation
layouts now derive the authenticated immutable-content endpoint from the
attachment ID, and Needs You uses the existing full-screen mobile sheet.
All 119 focused tests pass, including missing/stale display URLs, both
review layouts, and both mobile history entry buttons. UI
typecheck/build and token checks pass. Full workspace typecheck/build
also pass after the second master merge.
- Greptile gave head 22f69c304 a 5/5 score with one non-blocking
desktop-history reopening finding. Head 6dd52b6d3 fixed it, passed all
nine history tests, UI typecheck/build, token gates, and the full
9,679-test UI suite, then received a fresh 5/5 review with zero open
findings. These are prior-head results; review on the master-sync commit
is pending.
- The chat and workspace CI jobs on head 22f69c304 were interrupted by
runner shutdown signals and cancellation before completing their tests.
Their logs do not report failing assertions. Those interrupted jobs are
not claimed as passes. The new head starts fresh runs.
- The first merge CI had a Slack session-sync idle assertion fail after
an unexpected database read. Its exact isolated reproduction passes, and
the chat CI shard passed on head 618c5a2a3. The original failure's cause
remains undetermined. The broader local reproduction, run concurrently
with full verification, instead encountered 21 timeout failures across
its two test chunks; it is not claimed as a passing full local server
run. A concurrent local UI run had eight failures (seven timeouts and
one delayed autosave assertion). The complete UI run on the final head
passed all 9,679 tests across 830 files with two workers; no test
timeout or assertion was weakened. This establishes recovery without
claiming that every earlier timeout's cause has been proved. An earlier
intermediate UI run also overlapped the second master merge and failed
the newly added Advanced-sidebar expectation, so it is not treated as
stable-tree evidence. The newly merged UI dependencies initially
required refreshing the local install from the upstream package
manifest; the generated local lockfile update is not committed, per
repository policy.
- Superagent returned neutral/inconclusive scans on the preceding heads
because its pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. The
available retry endpoint returned 404. These are not successful security
verdicts. The fresh scan on `91be74952` passed (PR scan passed; no
suspicious PR changes detected). The `938ad1665` scan again returned
neutral/inconclusive with the same pinned merge-base checkout error; the
check-suite rerun endpoint returned 404. The fresh `9d9737b49` scan
completed successfully at 18:22 UTC with no suspicious changes detected.
Earlier neutral scans are not counted as successful security verdicts.
- Prior head `57902152ac3218096fca669d33ff18400a2a86ae` passed 9,618 UI
tests across 826 files, received Greptile 5/5 with no open findings, and
completed CI with 56 passes and four conditional skips. These are
historical results, not acceptance of the latest merge commit.
- The first full build found generated capability-contract drift. The
generated outputs were refreshed. Initial sandbox runs could not open
local IPC sockets; verification was rerun with local test access.
- Current master was merged. The workspace preference migration was
regenerated after the existing migration history.
- The UI run first found two outdated expectations: early custom-answer
validation and the document access error copy. Both were corrected, and
the full UI suite then passed.
- The local server run found three failures in unchanged tests. The Muse
test passes with Python 3.13 instead of the host's Python 3.9. The two
workspace tests pass when their test process uses the expected master
default branch. These environment settings do not change application
behavior or global machine settings. The unsharded server run was
stopped after those reproductions; CI supplies the full sharded server
result. No successful full local server run is claimed.
- Skill inventory generation needs an external eval checkout, which is
absent locally. The existing generator functions refreshed only the live
skill inventory and its derived files. The checked-in eval inventory was
preserved. The inventory validation gate passes.
- Greptile found a dropped MCP review requirement, missing per-item
output links, generic item-review summaries, and a history-refresh
failure. The fixes have 32 passing database-backed server tests and
focused rendered-card tests. A follow-up partial-review finding was
corrected by forwarding the canonical mutation status before settling
the card. Attachments open through the authenticated immutable-content
route in both card layouts. The final focused UI set has 117 passing
tests, including these regressions.
- Both browser shards that first failed expected a disabled-chat
message. The copy was restored, and those shards passed in CI on the
next commit. The two journeys also passed locally. One local attempt
first timed out before feature disable while waiting for the provider's
initial message; its isolated reproduction passed. That earlier timing
failure remains recorded and is not presented as an explained
infrastructure failure.
- Serialized server shard 9 first failed during pnpm setup with
ECONNRESET, before dependencies or tests ran. Its single rerun passed
setup and all tests. The build and production runtime boot passed on the
first attempt, but that run's public-install step timed out during Pi
setup. The single build-job rerun passed compilation, runtime boot, and
clean public-install verification. Those setup scripts are unchanged by
this PR. The successful retry establishes recovery; the earlier Pi
timeout's underlying cause remains undetermined. The aggregate CI gate
is green: [workflow
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40637789695).

</details>

## Risks

- This touches shared task, interaction, and completion paths.
Regression tests must cover classic and experimental behavior,
authorization, duplicate answers, and stale review targets.
- The additive preference table must migrate before the setting is used.
The setting defaults off.
- The experiment changes navigation and message presentation. Canonical
task and document records remain the source of truth.
- The initial task brief and saved plan can repeat information. This
change fixes chronology; a broader redundancy policy remains a design
decision.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex with reasoning and tool-assisted code editing, tests,
and browser verification. Earlier iterations used Codex models in this
task; their exact model IDs are not available in the current context.

Clément df5a78cf91 fix(ui): keep iPhone task chat stable while typing and streaming (#17232)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip keeps human-agent conversations attached to tasks.
> - People need to read and reply comfortably from a phone.
> - The mobile task page scrolled the document and positioned its
composer with a sticky navigation offset.
> - Safari's keyboard resize and later focus pan could move that
document again, causing overlap, gaps, and jumps while editing.
> - This change gives mobile and desktop the same message scroller and a
normal flex footer.
> - CSS owns the layout. A small VisualViewport adapter handles the
visible height and Safari's stale document focus scroll.
> - Streaming no longer measures every historical row while following
the bottom.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/issues/16497

Related: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15245 also
addresses keyboard positioning. This change additionally removes mobile
document auto-follow and reduces historical-row measurement work.

## What Changed

### One scroll owner and a natural-flow composer

Before:

```text
Document scroll + mobile auto-follow
  └─ Conversation + sticky composer + animated navigation offset
```

After:

```text
Height-constrained conversation shell
  ├─ Header
  ├─ Message scroller — owns follow/reading position
  └─ Composer — normal flex footer
Navigation stays at the layout viewport bottom, behind the keyboard
```

- Reuse TaskMessageScroller on mobile. Delete the separate 136-line
useWindowAutoFollow implementation and its superseded tests.
- Keep the composer in normal flex flow. Remove its sticky bottom
positioning and navigation-offset animation.
- Constrain the mobile conversation with CSS. Classic tasks and other
pages retain their existing layout.
- Add a 47-line useMobileVisualViewport hook. It changes shell height on
resize, not on typing or incoming messages. It never translates the
shell or hides navigation.
- Reject Safari's stale document focus pan only for an unzoomed,
keyboard-open conversation. Inner message and editor scrolling stay
native.
- Keep a saved reading anchor when reading older messages. Skip
historical-row measurements while following the bottom.
- Update tests and the existing mobile streaming fixture. Keep only two
layout-contract sentences in DESIGN.md.

**Scope:** 19 files, +367 / -482 lines: 115 fewer lines overall.
Production UI/CSS alone is +158 / -190 lines. No API, database, or
dependency changes.

## Verification

Bottom-follow is also saved explicitly for Back navigation. A new
regression covers returning after rotation changes message wrapping,
without restoring historical-row scans.

### Physical iPhone acceptance

Tested on an iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 26.7.1. The reporter confirmed:

- Opening the keyboard positions the composer correctly immediately,
before any typing.
- The installed web app works.
- Long drafts, insertion, deletion, and sending are acceptable. The
reporter described long drafts as not perfect but good enough.
- Reading older messages during incoming output preserves position;
returning to the bottom resumes following.
- Rotation, keyboard close/reopen, and attachment/picker transitions
work.

Remote inspection corroborated the corrected open-keyboard state:
visible height 358px, composer bottom 358px, document scrollY 0.
Navigation remained display:block at y=631px, behind the keyboard.

Earlier candidates failed device testing. The decisive trace showed a
correct viewport resize followed about one frame later by a stale 337px
native document focus pan. Typing caused Safari to correct it. Tests now
cover that event ordering, the reverse ordering, and zoom panning.

### Performance evidence

The existing TaskChatPerfHarness supplied 200 historical responses,
4,000 collapsed tools, and 30 updates at 100ms intervals.

| Measurement | Before | After |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Historical row geometry reads | 6,000 | 0 |
| Renderer main-thread work | 331.2ms | 273.5ms |
| Largest task | 27.1ms | 12.3ms |

This is one instrumented Chromium development run on the Mac, not a
phone benchmark or a statistical speedup claim. The zero-row-measurement
result also has a regression test that failed with 6,000 reads before
the change.

To reproduce, serve ui/tests/task-chat-perf.html with the UI Vite
server. Record 30 streaming updates at the bottom. Inspect
TaskMessageScroller and row getBoundingClientRect calls. Existing
historical-render tests also confirm that unchanged Markdown does not
reparse on live-tail updates.

### Automated and full-app checks

- [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39862524031)
is green: 54 successful checks and 2 skipped checks. Greptile rates the
current head 5/5, confirms the Back-navigation fix, and has no
unresolved findings.

- **601 focused tests pass** across the task page, layout, composer,
scroller, viewport adapter, and historical-render coverage.
- UI typecheck and production build pass.
- Token gates, Storybook catalog checks, and catalog/map structural
tests pass.
- Independent review of the final source tree passed with no findings.
- The full source app ran on macOS with an isolated database and saved
conversation history. A reply sent through the real UI persisted after
reload. Provider execution was not part of this layout test.
- **Full local repository checks did not pass.** Build/typecheck stop at
missing Rust cargo. The full test run reported 142 failed server tests
and 3 failed suites; missing cargo is confirmed in those three suites.
The other server failures were not diagnosed in this UI task.
Current-head CI now supplies the repository-wide evidence; these local
failures remain disclosed.

## Risks

- Mobile conversations now share the desktop scroll owner. Navigation,
loading, history restoration, and reading-position tests cover that
change.
- The keyboard-state threshold is a 120px viewport reduction.
Accessory-only keyboards retain the normal navigation spacing.
- The document-scroll fallback is scoped to rendered conversations with
an open keyboard at scale 1. It does not handle inner scrolling or
prevent zoom panning.
- Long-draft behavior is accepted, with minor polish still possible.
- The UI change is reversible and requires no data migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Astra, exact model ID gpt-6-astra, through OpenCode.
Capabilities used: reasoning, code editing, tests, Chromium performance
tracing, and Safari remote inspection. The harness does not expose the
context-window size. An independent general-purpose subagent reviewed
the final tree; its serving model ID was not exposed.

7b9334cd10 Draft: Build agent-ready design proposal system (#16875)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - People need consistent UI patterns to review and control that work.
> - The current board uses related layouts and controls with different
spacing, type, and behavior.
> - That drift makes it hard for a designer or an agent to build a new
page from a reliable reference.
> - Storybook can show the shared patterns and the states they need to
support.
> - This pull request adds design proposals, a local sandbox, and
reusable UI controls so people can compare the patterns in context.
> - The benefit is a clearer design system that agents can use to build
consistent UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

`ui/` — React board UI and Storybook.

**Problem or motivation**

Board pages repeat visual and interaction decisions. Storybook did not
provide a complete reference for task views, conversation states,
typography, toolbars, tabs, and light/dark colors. People could not
compare a proposed pattern with the running board in one place.

**Proposed solution**

Add a staged Design Proposals catalog with foundations, components,
layouts, and page specimens. Add an opt-in sandbox. Reuse production
components where possible. Include synthetic conversation states and
shared controls so reviewers can compare and refine them.

**Alternatives considered**

Separate static mockups would not show keyboard behavior, responsive
layout, or real component states. Rebuilding each page only in Storybook
would allow the reference to drift from the board.

**Roadmap alignment**

This improves existing board UI and Skills Manager surfaces. It does not
add a new control-plane capability.

## What Changed

- Added dark and light color references, typography and conversation
specimens, and component stories for buttons, tabs, toolbars, sidebar,
popovers, activity, and task lists.
- Added a local design sandbox with synthetic task conversation playback
and representative states.
- Shared collection toolbars and navigation patterns across task, agent,
project, routine, skill, connector, and artifact pages.
- Added the streamlined Skills tabs and a My Skills collection that uses
the shared skill cards.
- Restored saved-thread access during synthetic playback, kept connector
searchbox semantics, and updated reproduction checks after moving trial
stories.
- Documented the proposed patterns and added focused UI, catalog, and
browser checks.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and `node
scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs --check` passed.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after
merging master. After the review fixes, focused UI typecheck, `pnpm
build-storybook`, 23 Skills Sources tests, and all 15 Storybook
typography browser tests passed.
- Focused task-thread and system-notice suites passed: 251 tests.
Connector Browse passed 84 tests; the connector, attachment, recovery,
and Storybook flyout browser journeys passed locally.
- A local full Vitest run hit one intermittent chat-channels integration
failure; that test passed in isolation. GitHub CI
[39347996059](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39347996059)
passed on the exact latest commit: 55 successful checks and two skipped
draft-only Storybook jobs.
- Greptile reviewed the exact latest commit at 5/5 with no new comments
or open review threads. GitHub reports the branch as cleanly mergeable.

## Risks

- This PR changes 206 files and exceeds the repository's 100-file review
target. Review by commit and consider a scoped split before merge.
- Design Proposals are staged references. Fixture interactions do not
prove API behavior, permissions, or provider execution.
- UI changes to shared controls may affect pages outside the proposal
sandbox. Focused browser checks and the full CI matrix passed.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact runtime model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session. The model used reasoning, code
execution, browser inspection, and local tests. Earlier branch commits
were also AI-assisted in this Codex conversation.

to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details available in this session)

DottaandPaperclip d72389bee2 feat: add Browser Use Cloud connector and live task browsers (#14627)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps gateway gives agents governed access to external tools.
> - Browser Use Cloud can run browser work, but a tool result alone does
not let a person watch or take over.
> - A task needs a durable browser session, a visible viewer, and
recorded costs.
> - This pull request adds a Browser Use Cloud v4 connection and
interactive browser tabs on tasks.
> - People can follow the work, interact with the page, and retain the
browser after the agent finishes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Agents need governed access to Browser Use Cloud. People need to see and
interact with the same browser from the task. A browser must remain
available after a run finishes and appear at the correct point in the
task feed.

**Proposed solution**

Add a native REST connection for the v4 API. Bind each session to its
company, task, agent, and credential grant. Open its interactive viewer
in the task side panel. Record provider costs as financial events. Use
`browser-use-cloud` as the app and connector key. Keep its skill with
the connector and deliver it only with authorized connection tools.

**Alternatives considered**

A v3 MCP connection would expose tools without the v4 lifecycle
integration. An external viewer link would leave the task. A fixed
viewer size would prevent pages from responding to changes in the task
pane.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the governed Apps gateway and Connected Apps roadmap. It
uses the existing task, grant, secret, approval, and financial records.
The work was requested by the maintainer. A search found no duplicate
Browser Use connector PR or issue.

## What Changed

- Add the Browser Use Cloud app, brand asset, API-key connection, and
profile settings under the `browser-use-cloud` key.
- Bundle the `browser-use-cloud` skill with the connector. Keep it out
of global `skills/` discovery. Deliver it only with authorized task/run
connection tools. Remove retired connector skill keys from runtime
overlays and preserve unrelated browser skills.
- Expose seven v4 tools through the governed gateway and deliver them to
native and CLI agents.
- Persist sessions, browsers, runs, event and recovery cursors, shutdown
leases, and cumulative cost accounting. Recover uncertain paid starts
without replaying them.
- Enforce task ownership, credential grants, approvals, revoked access,
and budget limits.
- Add interactive task browser tabs and compact chronological feed
entries. Retain the viewer across tab switches and keep visible idle
browsers open.
- Add debounced automatic viewport fitting, standard size presets, and a
viewer ownership lease.
- Add lifecycle, authorization, accounting, viewport, UI, and Storybook
coverage.
- Add an idempotent database migration after the current master
migration. Preserve deployed migration hashes. Migrate pre-release Cloud
connection and financial keys without replacing grants, credentials, or
browser history.
- Document provider behavior, live acceptance results, and the lack of
documented passkey forwarding.

## Verification

- Full workspace typecheck and production build pass on the updated
branch.
- Token gates, brand asset validation, module boundaries, and migration
ordering pass.
- Cloud tests verify global skill exclusion, authorized task/run
delivery, unassigned agents, disabled connections, revocation, adapter
isolation, and secret exclusion. The existing AgentMail connector
assignment test also passes.
- Migration replay runs twice against existing browser work and
financial records. It preserves the records and avoids duplicate costs.
- The focused provider, app catalog, OpenAPI, connection gateway, and
migration regression suites pass. Recovery coverage includes lost
replies, process crashes, provider rejection, and browser arrival
acknowledgement.
- All 54 checks pass on `2974b5f03641ad0cea3c941d8c02579316fa8c92`,
including the full test matrix, browser E2E shards, build, typecheck,
security, and release canary. Two optional Storybook jobs are skipped.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the same commit, with zero unresolved review
threads. The corrected review uses the actual master-to-head diff.
- The local `pnpm test:run` started and was stopped after the full CI
matrix passed. It did not complete locally; the full-suite result above
comes from CI.
- Earlier live acceptance used an isolated company with a capped
provider credential. The agent opened paperclip.ing, the embedded viewer
accepted navigation, and the same browser stayed available after
completion and tab switches.
- The local Storybook build passes. Stories cover the panel, footer,
feed entries, settings, lifecycle failures, and viewport modes with an
offline viewer fixture.

## Risks

- Browser Use charges for hosted work. Provider caps and local budget
checks reduce exposure; reported costs can arrive after work completes.
- Viewer and CDP URLs grant access to the browser. The server validates
and restricts them. They are excluded from agent results and durable
event data.
- Runtime resizing of v4 agent browsers uses a provider option confirmed
by live testing but absent from its published agent schema. Resizing
during a click may invalidate coordinates. Fixed presets remain
available.
- Viewport ownership is process-local and resets on restart. The
lifecycle and accounting records remain in the database.
- The original intermittent embedded-viewer stall has not been fully
diagnosed. A bounded reconnect and active-session recovery cover the
observed failure paths.
- Live tests did not cover every revocation, approval, rate-limit, or
restart case. Deterministic integration tests cover those paths. Passkey
forwarding is not claimed.
- Unknown create outcomes keep the credential available for cleanup.
Run-list absence cannot prove a paid POST was rejected, so recovery
stays pending until it can identify provider work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Used reasoning, repository search, code execution,
browser interaction, and test tools. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 74a9730acb fix: continue native agent chats after worker loss (#13813)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat uses native workers to run Claude and Codex
conversations.
> - A worker crash leaves a cleanup hold because its provider did not
acknowledge suspension.
> - A new user message must not reuse that unverified session or repeat
old tool calls.
> - The existing continuation path can preserve history and start a
fresh session, but local cleanup ownership remained held.
> - This pull request verifies the stopped local owners and releases
only their cleanup hold for a new user turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13775.

**What happened?**

After a native worker crashed, both providers retained cleanup
quarantine. A saved plan survived, but the conversation could not
produce another answer.

**Expected behavior**

Once the old worker and provider process groups have stopped, a new user
message can continue in a fresh session with the saved work and prior
action history.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the opt-in `agent-chat-qualification` suite with case
`worker-crash-retry` on native Codex and native Claude. The fixture
saves a plan, kills the exact worker through a Linux pidfd, releases a
local read-only brief, and sends a new message.

## What Changed

- Verify the exact local worker stop receipt, provider identity
receipts, released leases, and retained state before retiring a native
cleanup hold.
- Recheck process liveness and state before admission. Keep the old run
and durable session files intact.
- Use the existing explicit conversation continuation path. Generic
Retry remains blocked for cleanup quarantine, including on the old
failed-run marker after a successful continuation.
- Extend the live oracle to require a successful fresh session, correct
predecessor context, unchanged plan, one original message, and one
answer containing a reference introduced after the crash.
- Add physical-proof and database-backed admission tests. Document the
precise qualification scope.

## Verification

- Live Product E2E: **2/2 passed**, **2/2 cleanup passed**, with real
native `gpt-5.6-sol` and `claude-sonnet-5`, Chromium, server, database,
and public APIs.
- Core recovery proof source:
`3592b04c2bc76e23795fcdf964720e38a409dc4d`. Suite definition version 8:
`9867367994d81a0c726956d91f2c7fddab6417a12f41b5cef3f7e62f3be417da`.
- [Core recovery
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35741746990)
· [Public evidence
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35741746990-1/).
- Both cells verify the real crash boundary, blocked generic Retry,
unchanged saved plan, one original prompt, one fresh successor with
predecessor context, and one run-attributed answer containing the
post-crash reference. Billing coverage is partial because the crashed
runs did not report complete usage; missing cost is not zero cost.
- [Master
baseline](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35737364443):
both providers stopped at quarantine, with cleanup passing.
- [Follow-up baseline without the
fix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35738638866):
Codex produced a complete red result. Claude reached the same error, but
its artifact upload was canceled.
- [Complete Claude baseline with the same version-8
definition](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740555177):
red at cleanup quarantine, cleanup passed, source
`6479a90c5754044356b39a9278b9a3e92ce8e55e`.
- Earlier candidate attempts remain retained:
[first](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35738449214)
passed Codex and found a Claude fixture wait race;
[second](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740408065)
exposed the normalized session-open receipt mismatch. Both corrections
are in the final source.
- Targeted server suites: 570 passed before the final two additional
receipt regression cases. The physical-proof suite, including those
cases, passed 46/46. Eval oracle and catalog: 40 passed. Server and
Product E2E typechecks passed.
- **All 54 PR checks passed on final head `db6f775df`**, including
repository typecheck, build, tests, browser shards, and canary dry run.
The canary job required one retry after its runner received a shutdown
signal. On the earlier core proof head, two timing-sensitive tests
passed in isolation and on a single CI retry.
- Final UI regression checks: 5 passed; UI typecheck and token gates
passed. Updated eval oracle/catalog: 40 passed; eval typecheck passed.
- Final version-9 two-provider campaign: **2/2 passed, 2/2 cleanup
passed**, including the browser assertion that the quarantined
historical run never regains Try again. [Final
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35747416013),
source `db6f775dfff405e1514ec02fedb0450d42c7dad2`, definition hash
`bf5abf1cc45cb6dad4e082fbf818b8fa0f4d8c282776a7e98762b22919eadab7`.
[Final public evidence
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35747416013-1/).
Final screenshots and retained state inspected for both providers; cost
coverage remains partial.

## Risks

- Missing or conflicting stop evidence keeps the conversation blocked.
This change does not kill an unverified process.
- This qualifies new user input after local worker loss. It does not
enable automatic replay, exact-session recovery, remote crash recovery,
or native onboarding defaults.
- Old action outcomes remain part of the continuation. A process exit is
not proof that an action did not happen.
- No schema migration or production prompt change.

## Model Used

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

1ef3b08714 feat(ui): integrate agent personas across the app (#13171)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A stable agent persona is useful only when the same identity appears
across the app.
> - Lists, task messages, selectors, and activity feeds need inexpensive
static avatars.
> - Onboarding and agent headers need a larger character with
expressions and pointer tracking.
> - This pull request connects the persona foundation to those existing
views and preserves onboarding draft assignments.
> - Full-page stories and Linux checks make the placements and
performance contract reviewable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Agents need a stable visual identity in lists, tasks, onboarding, and
configuration. External tools also need an image URL for that identity.

**Proposed solution**

Assign each agent a permanent palette from a fixed ClipLab character
library. Store the assignment on the agent. Render and cache preset PNG
URLs on demand. Use static images in dense views and one animated
character in larger placements.

**Alternatives considered**

A generated image bundle requires a separate asset build. A live
renderer in every avatar adds unnecessary work in large lists. Arbitrary
uploaded images do not provide the requested shared character system.

**Roadmap alignment**

This improves agent identity across existing control-plane views. It
preserves agent permissions, company boundaries, and status labels.
ROADMAP.md has no separate ClipLab persona milestone.

Related approaches: #2422 adds configurable image URLs and DiceBear
generation; #5578 adds optional uploaded avatars. This work uses a
fixed, versioned character library and preset URLs.

## What Changed

- Replace agent icons with static persona images across lists, the
sidebar, org charts, tasks, comments, selectors, activity, and dashboard
views.
- Put one animated character in the agent header. Let it follow the
pointer across the page, with reduced-motion and touch fallbacks.
- Add larger padded characters to agent creation. Keep the palette
stable across draft refreshes and connection retries, then reveal it
after success.
- Pass appearance through shared projections rather than fetching each
agent separately.
- Add real full-page Storybook examples for the agent list, overview,
task, dashboard, new-agent dialog, and connection page.
- Add Linux screenshot, clipping, density, and 500-avatar performance
checks.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and token gates pass on the rebased
tree. Persona lifecycle tests pass.
- The rebased feature passes 38 Linux screenshot/performance checks,
including both display densities, corner pointer positions, and the
no-WebGL/no-live-download contract for 500 avatars.
- The final Linux persona suite passes all 38 visual, lifecycle,
density, and full-page checks using the standard Storybook configuration
and real on-demand avatar endpoint.
- Final local focused verification: 45 avatar/native-recovery tests
pass; UI identity/routine tests, typecheck/build, token gates, and
Storybook build pass.
- Current-head CI passes: full workspace/server tests, all serialized
server groups, typecheck/release checks, build, canary validation, and
end-to-end shards. The build passed after retrying a native-runner
concurrency-test failure; its three targeted cases also pass locally.
- Manual inspection covered stable identities in the app, header
placement, full-page mouse tracking, onboarding size, and task/dashboard
placements.


### Screenshots

Linux captures use synthetic Storybook fixtures. Full-page captures use
reduced motion. The live character, mouse tracking, and disposal are
checked separately.

width="900" alt="Dashboard agent activity" />

</details>

## Risks

- This PR depends on #13170, the persona foundation. Merge the
foundation first, then retarget this PR to master.
- Many placements change from icons to character silhouettes. Human
avatars and authoritative agent status labels retain their existing
behavior.
- Only one character can render live per view. Reduced motion,
hidden/offscreen content, touch input, and renderer failures use the
defined fallbacks.
- The full-page stories use fixture data. They do not contact a real
company or complete real provider sign-in.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model identifier and context
window are not exposed in this session. Used code editing, shell
execution, browser inspection, and Linux visual testing.

DottaandPaperclip 9fd2e50310 feat: create company skills from runner tasks (#13538)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Runner gives agents tools to change company resources.
> - Users need agents to save reusable skills during a task.
> - A saved skill needs a visible result that users can inspect and
edit.
> - This pull request adds `create_skill` and a task feed card linked to
Skill Studio.
> - Users can open the saved skill from the task and edit the same
resource.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Runner tools, company skill storage, task feed, and Skill Studio.

**Problem or motivation**

The Runner has no dedicated tool to create a company skill. A user
cannot follow a creation result from the task feed to the saved skill.

**Proposed solution**

Add a company-scoped `create_skill` tool. Save the skill with the
existing company policy. Add one creation card to the task. Open a named
sidebar tab from that card. Let the user open the same skill in Skill
Studio.

**Alternatives considered**

An agent can write a local file, but that file is not a company skill. A
second document copy in the task would become stale after a Studio edit.
The sidebar therefore reads the saved skill directly.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the shipped Skills Manager, Skill Studio, and Skills Store
milestone. The maintainer requested and approved this scope. Search
found no duplicate `create_skill` PR or issue. Related UI validation
work: #8715. This PR does not change that validation display.

## What Changed

- Add the real Runner tool, its contract, and its mock implementation.
- Validate the complete SKILL.md and derive company, task, agent, and
run identity from authentication.
- Apply the existing company skill policy. Do not assign the skill to an
agent.
- Make keyed retries return one skill and one creation event. Reject
conflicting retries.
- Make concurrent file creation safe. Never replace an existing
published skill during creation.
- Add a creation card, a named sidebar tab, and an Open in Skill Studio
action.
- Show saved Studio edits when the user returns to the task.
- Add storage, policy, mode, retry, UI, and Product E2E tests. Document
the tool.
- Fix deleted-name reuse, onboarding panel persistence, immediate feed
refresh, and mock validation parity from review.
- Serialize Studio file edits and renames with skill deletion and
recreation. Reject stale editor requests before they can change a
replacement skill.
- Generate the standalone mock parser and validator from the production
contract. Use portable UUIDs so the browser scenario bundle builds.

## Verification

- All latest-head PR checks pass on `145dd76a5`, including all server
shards, browser E2E, Runner verification, build, typecheck, and release
dry run. Greptile: 5/5 with no open findings. An interrupted CI runner
was retried successfully.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Review regressions: 73 storage tests, 6 real API tests, 63 UI tests,
and 61 semantic runtime tests passed. Parser synchronization passed.
- CI exposed existing fire-and-forget Sentry test races. Reproduced the
resumption race locally, then synchronized the related sweep and
finalizer assertions on the actual report; all 27 tests across the three
affected files pass.
- Runner scenario browser build and strict content-security-policy
check: passed.
- Runner suite: 2,012 tests passed; 10 skipped.
- `pnpm test:run`: the general-server batch had 12,416 passes and two
failures. The old tool-count assertion was fixed; all 16 authority tests
then passed. The chat webhook test had a socket error; it passed four
isolated reruns.
- Both workspace test groups passed. The isolated route suites
completed. Two socket failures in the initial route batches passed on
individual reruns; all remaining 61 files passed.
- Product E2E `create-skill-studio`: passed with local Codex and local
ACPX Claude.
- Manual browser test: submit a task, observe the real tool call and
creation card, open the sidebar, edit in Studio, save, and return. The
task reached Done. The saved second revision and sidebar tab survived a
server restart.
- The new companion headless Runner Eval passed. Companion coverage PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/23. Daytona was not
run because no immutable runner image was configured.

## Risks

- Database writes and local file writes cannot share one transaction.
Recovery accepts only an exact file-for-file retry after a database
rollback. Conflicting files remain untouched.
- The sidebar displays the current skill. The feed card remains the
historical creation receipt.
- No database migration, dependency, or workflow change is included.
- Remote Daytona behavior still needs a run with a configured immutable
image.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) handled design, integration, review, and
browser verification. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded
implementation and eval work. Both used code execution and tool access.
The host did not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 9cfa7fd2d1 fix(ui): share compact live and saved activity across runners (#13421)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and inspect their work.
> - Task threads show live activity and saved transcripts from several
runners.
> - Legacy runs used a separate activity renderer that expanded tool
cards as commands arrived.
> - A compact live row makes ongoing work easier to follow.
> - This PR shares the native runner activity group across live and
saved legacy turns.
> - Both paths now use the same labels, icon gutter, animation, and
history controls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: Refs #13255, which introduced rolling native-runner activity
groups.

**What happened?**

During a legacy CLI run, each new command added an expanded tool card
under an activity heading. The original legacy parity story rendered a
completed turn, so it did not exercise this live path.

**Expected behavior**

Show one current activity line per commentary group. Roll that line
forward when a new activity starts. Keep tool icons aligned on the left,
use friendly labels, and show history only when expanded.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task with the Codex local adapter using the CLI engine.
2. Ask it to read two files in separate tool calls and run a test
command.
3. Watch the activity feed while the run is active, then expand its
history.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The live behavior was reproduced on
bdee5ebb21b2d09280e49c88bc329435da1b07c8. This update includes both live
and saved rendering fixes.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source with the local test-drive command and a real Codex CLI
agent.

## What Changed

- Use `TaskChatRunnerActivityGroup` for both saved legacy phases and
`TaskChatLiveTail`.
- Align the legacy Working spinner with the shared activity icon gutter.
- Cover streamed reasoning updates, successive commands, image labels,
hidden details, and explicit history expansion in tests.
- Feed raw legacy transcript events through the real adapter and live
renderer in Storybook. Add live, expanded, narrow, light, and completed
stories with the final reply preserved.

## Verification

- Passed 195 targeted tests covering the live tail, status pill, shared
activity group, native turn, and full task thread.
- Passed UI typechecking, token gates, UI build, and Storybook build
before submission.
- Observed a real Codex CLI run while it read separate files and ran
tests. The current activity stayed at one 32-pixel row without an
accumulated tool list; the spinner and activity icon centers aligned.
- Compared native and legacy Storybooks: identical rolling animation,
fixed height, persistent expansion, truncated long labels, and correct
light and completed states.
- Full repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after
replaying the branch on current master, including the Rust runner. The
full `pnpm test:run` suite is still running.

## Risks

- Legacy activity now starts collapsed. Users can expand each group and
each row to inspect the same transcript details.
- Live runtime request cards must retain their timeline positions.
Existing task-thread and native-runner regression tests cover this
boundary.
- No API, database, or transcript format changes.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex for the live-path fix, tests, and browser
verification. Capabilities used: reasoning, tool use, local code
execution, and image inspection. The exact deployment ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.
- The original saved-turn change recorded OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6; its
exact variant and context size were not recorded.

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

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 586b5ec828 fix(ui): improve mobile task spacing (#13304)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - The task detail view is the main place for task conversation.
> - The mobile view used too much horizontal space for gutters and
controls.
> - The status control and identifier also reduced the title width.
> - This pull request gives the title its own mobile row and reduces
mobile padding.
> - The benefit is a clearer task view with more space for useful
content.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The mobile task detail header, conversation list, and message composer.

**Current behavior**

The title shares one row with status and identifier controls. The
conversation and composer also use larger mobile gutters than needed.

**Proposed behavior**

The title uses the full mobile width. Status and metadata use the next
row. The conversation and composer use smaller mobile gutters.

**Reason and benefit**

Long titles have more readable line lengths. The reduced padding gives
task content more room on small screens.

**Breaking changes**

None.

## What Changed

- Put the task title on a full-width mobile row.
- Move the mobile status and metadata below the title.
- Reduce the mobile conversation and composer padding.
- Update the composer dock class test.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx --reporter=dot`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check`

## Risks

- Low risk. The layout changes apply only at the mobile breakpoint.
- Desktop spacing stays unchanged.

DottaandPaperclip ce09ea40b0 feat(ui): show one rolling runner activity per commentary group (#13255)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task chat shows commentary and runner activity as work proceeds.
> - The expanded activity list uses multiple text lines and an indented
rail.
> - The folded view can repeat reasoning and the current tool in
separate places.
> - This pull request shows one rolling activity between commentary
messages.
> - Users can open a group to follow its full history and inspect each
item.
> - The benefit is a compact feed with aligned icons and stable row
height.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The runner activity groups in task chat, during live work and in saved
history.

**Current behavior**

Activity is spread across a group summary, a reasoning ticker, and a
current-tool row. Expanded rows have different alignment and can span
several lines.

**Proposed behavior**

Keep one latest activity per commentary group. Roll new activities
upward. Keep each expanded history row on one line. Use neutral failure
text without an X icon. Keep the full details available by opening an
individual row.

**Additional context**

Refs: #13246. That open PR covers related folded activity, steering
timestamps, and status alignment. This change implements the separately
reviewed activity-group design, including animated replacement,
single-line expanded history, and neutral failures. It does not change
steering timestamps or status pills.

## What Changed

- Add a shared runner activity group with persistent expansion and
reduced-motion support.
- Use the group in the production runner turn and remove duplicate
narration and current-tool rows.
- Preserve commentary, plan cards, request receipts, and final-response
placement.
- Keep tool output, reasoning, research sources, file previews, and
failure details accessible.
- Render the production turn in desktop and mobile animated Storybook
fixtures.
- Add tests for animation identity, failure visibility, expansion
persistence, and timeline order.
- Validate resource link schemes and omit disclosure controls for items
with no details.

## Verification

- Focused activity, runner turn, protocol detail, and task-thread tests
pass: 161 tests.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- Browser checks confirm a 32-pixel compact row, centered icons, and
one-line expanded rows.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. The final UI build also
passes.
- Two real native Codex runs completed in an isolated local instance.
Each run created the expected file, performed separate delayed tool
calls, reported a deliberate missing-file failure, recovered, and
finished the task.
- Browser verification confirmed that the open three-row activity group
remained expanded after the second run moved into saved history. Saved
error output remained accessible without red styling or an X.
- The complete UI suite passes: 581 files and 5,979 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook` passes for the final
production fixtures.
- Greptile rates the latest commit 5/5, with zero new comments and no
unresolved review threads. The security scan passes.
- All repository test shards pass in CI. The duplicate local `pnpm
test:run` was stopped after CI completed the full test coverage. The CI
build failed twice because the worker ran out of disk space compiling
the Rust runner tests (`No space left on device`, error 28). The build
and its aggregate verify gate remain blocked by CI capacity. GitHub
squash auto-merge is enabled and will wait for required checks to pass.

## Risks

- This changes presentation and disclosure behavior. Users open a group
to see earlier activity.
- Animation uses stable item IDs. A provider that replaces IDs can
trigger another transition.
- No API, database, or runner protocol contracts change.

> Reviewed `ROADMAP.md`. This improves an existing task-chat surface.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and browser testing. The runtime does not expose a more specific model
version or context-window size.

to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)

DottaandPaperclip 3b03c4b9eb perf(ui): keep long task chat responsive during streaming (#13229)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets operators manage agent work through tasks.
> - Task chat keeps responses and run history together.
> - A live update rendered every historical bubble and hidden tool row
again.
> - New image callbacks also forced unchanged markdown to parse again.
> - Long conversations saturated the browser main thread.
> - This change reuses unchanged history and mounts folded tools on
first inspection.
> - Operators can read and reply while work continues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Chat-style tasks with substantial scrollback became almost unusable. A
deterministic browser reproduction with 200 long responses and 4,000
tools consumed 97.8% of the main thread during live updates. It
delivered only 8 updates during the sample.

**Expected behavior**

The task should remain responsive during streaming. Historical markdown
and unopened run details should not repeat expensive render work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Install dependencies with `pnpm install`.
2. Run `pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/perf/task-chat/playwright.config.ts`.
3. Compare the attached performance JSON. The new test fails against the
original rendering code.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced at `a05b828bc`. The branch is rebased on current master.

**Deployment mode**

Local Chromium and Vite with deterministic fixtures. No database or
agent credentials are required.

Related work: #10463 reduces the issue-page bundle. This change
addresses repeated rendering after the page loads. No duplicate
scrollback fix was found.

## What Changed

- Keep the bubble image callback stable so unchanged markdown can skip
parsing.
- Memoize the settled history separately from the header and streaming
tail. Keep the brief renderer and default attachment array stable.
- Mount folded tool history on first expansion. Keep it mounted
afterward to preserve child state and closing motion. Runtime request
receipts remain visible.
- Add deterministic rendering tests to the normal Vitest suite and an
opt-in Chromium regression fixture.
- Document the reproduction, commands, scope, and local measurements.

## Verification

- Browser reproduction: 97.8% main-thread utilization before; 11.6%
after for tail-only updates; 31.5% after when projection recreates
history objects. Both fixed cases delivered 32 updates.
- Browser checks pass for scroll-position retention, typing, return to
latest, tool inspection, and retained expansion state.
- Focused component suite: 155 tests passed. Post-rebase
thread/performance rerun: 101 tests passed.
- Recursive typecheck, build, Storybook build, and token gates passed.
UI typecheck passed after the final edits.
- Local UI/CLI lane: 5,910 tests passed; ten files hit worker-start
timeouts, then all ten passed with two workers (20 tests).
Shared/adapter lane: 3,128 tests passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted and is **not green**: its
server lane recorded 10,517 passes and 11 failures plus fixture/setup
errors. Queue (31 tests), Cursor/Git-load (9 tests), and missing-binary
failures cleared on isolated reruns / building the runner test binaries.
Two native suites still cannot initialize embedded PostgreSQL on this
host.
- The remaining native-session recovery assertion was reproduced in a
clean worktree at base `a20ecce40` (1 failed, 67 passed across the
native/queue suites). It expects a settled-session error but receives a
semantic-tool-input digest error. No server or runner files changed in
this PR.
- All substantive CI jobs have passed, including build, typecheck, all
server/workspace test shards, all three e2e shards, and the canary dry
run. The unchanged Slack ordering test exhausted its one-second wait on
the first run; its shard passed on rerun. Final aggregate verification
passed: **31 passing checks**, no failures or pending checks; two
optional Storybook deployment/visual checks were skipped. Greptile is
**5/5**, with no unresolved review threads.
- The supplemental local serialized route run was stopped after CI
passed all five serialized shards; it had reported no failures.
- The browser fixture uses the real chat rendering components with a
plain textarea. It does not test the full composer or server transport.
Timing results are local samples; deterministic render-count tests
provide normal CI coverage.

## Risks

- Closed tool content becomes available to DOM search only after first
expansion. Visible run summaries and runtime request receipts remain
available immediately.
- Opened run history remains mounted to preserve child state. The first
full markdown render still scales with conversation size.
- Memo dependencies must stay current when adding render inputs. Tests
check content edits and replacement gallery callbacks.
- No API, database, or permission changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). Exact serving variant and context-window size are
not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser testing. No sub-agents were used.

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
included.

Dotta 0f94521017 fix(runner): restore local session and task integrity (#12721)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable provider sessions to individual
task runs through PRP.
> - Provider continuity and per-run authority are different lifetimes.
> - The existing implementation mixed those lifetimes and lost event
metadata between provider frames, runnerd, persistence, API
sanitization, and the task thread.
> - That caused failed continuation, missing progress and Plans,
duplicate replies, hidden failures, and unsafe recovery.
> - This repair gives every heartbeat fresh authority, preserves
qualified provider-session continuity, and restores one lossless
presentation path without changing direct adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A second native heartbeat could reuse tickets, leases, command receipts,
sequence state, and run identity from the first heartbeat. Provider
phase and item identity could be lost before the UI read them. Redaction
could corrupt protocol discriminators while still missing malformed
credential tails. The task thread could fold progress into the final
response, hide failures, or show more than one final answer. Native
Codex also exposed approval modes that do not yet have a durable
approval bridge.

**Expected behavior**

Each heartbeat uses a new PRP authority epoch. Codex and OpenCode
preserve exact qualified provider sessions; ACPX emits an explicit
continuity event when its qualified process-replacement policy is used.
Every accepted provider event is presented, classified as internal, or
surfaced as unsupported. The task page shows chronological progress,
reasoning summaries, activity, Plans, interactions, terminal failures,
and exactly one final reply. Direct adapters retain their existing path.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the unified experimental Paperclip Runner setting.
2. Create a local native Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, or ACPX Codex
agent.
3. Run response, Plan, structured-question/resume, restart,
cancellation, and failure scenarios.
4. Reload the task while active, waiting, failed, and settled.
5. On the old implementation, observe stale run authority, missing
classifications, incomplete output, or duplicated/folded replies.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The repair is based directly on `master` at
`87d05e194b643810d16d20612115acd01d735d43`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the embedded database.

Related work: Refs #12616, #12646, #12666, #12685, and #12700.

## What Changed

- Rotates PRP control-plane, outbox, ticket, lease, command, receipt,
and sequence authority for each heartbeat while carrying forward only a
validated provider-session identity.
- Reads `control-plane-state.json`, validates both durable schemas and
lifecycle values, resumes coherent current runs, archives qualified
settled authority, and quarantines malformed or mismatched scoped state
without moving ambiguous live legacy state.
- Preserves Codex provider phase and stable item identities so
commentary remains progress and only `final_answer` becomes final.
- Adds raw OpenCode HTTP/SSE boundary coverage and canonical reasoning
lifecycle mapping.
- Makes ACPX normalization lossless for visible reasoning, tool
lifecycle metadata, stable bounded identities, Plan revisions,
structured requests, failures, and qualified process replacement. Only
the compatible terminal assistant message is promoted as final.
- Applies schema-aware redaction before generic JWT-shaped detection and
scans every diagnostic string leaf. Malformed raw/escaped quoted
credential tails are redacted in both server and durable Rust state.
- Restores snapshot-style chronological task presentation, expandable
tool activity, inline Plan cards, visible waiting/resume/cancel/failure
states, and exactly one final answer.
- Makes `never` the only qualified native Codex permission mode and
rejects unsupported persisted native modes with remediation. OpenCode
and ACPX policies remain intact.
- Keeps the unified experimental Runner setting as the only enablement
flag. Onboarding and direct Codex, Claude, and OpenCode stay on their
legacy execution/finalization paths.
- Adds cross-language goldens, authority/recovery/fault coverage, exact
response/count assertions, and native plus legacy acceptance scenarios.

## Verification

- Pull-request GitHub Actions run Rust formatting/tests, TypeScript
checks, server/UI tests, builds, protocol drift checks, browser E2E, and
security scans.
- A separate workflow-only validation ref is pinned directly on this PR
head and runs the 35-cell paid local matrix: three core scenarios plus
structured-question resume and restart/resume for native Codex, native
OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, and direct Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
Run: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
- Acceptance requires exact single visible replies, monotonic sequences,
matching envelope discriminators, one semantic terminal, one run
terminal, no unresolved interaction, no duplicate mutation, no secret
leakage, provider continuity, and zero native rows for direct adapters.
- Per maintainer direction, tests are running in GitHub Actions rather
than on the slower local host. Only formatters and static diff checks
were run locally.

## Risks

- Recovery from old or partial filesystem state is sensitive. The repair
fails closed, preserves active or unverifiable authority, and
quarantines only state whose scoped ownership is safe to move.
- Provider event formats can change. Closed validators and boundary
goldens turn new or malformed events into visible diagnostics instead of
silent drops.
- Shared task presentation could affect direct adapters. Runtime-fact
gating plus the direct-adapter matrix protect the existing path.
- Managed and remote providers are not qualified here. Shared code
continues to compile and fail safely, but live qualification is
deferred.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact deployed snapshot and
context-window size are not exposed to this task. It used agentic
reasoning, repository inspection, code editing, Git, parallel subagents,

DottaandPaperclip 87d05e194b feat(work-products): add rich cards and run artifact inventory (#12717)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI-agent companies.
> - Agent outputs must remain visible after a run and easy to inspect
from a task.
> - The thread and artifact inventory need one consistent rich-card
vocabulary.
> - Run uploads also need durable artifact registration and
producing-run context.
> - Reviewers need deterministic examples for each rich-card kind and
state.
> - This pull request adds the shared presentation, registration,
inventory, and Storybook review coverage.
> - The benefit is a complete output path that reviewers can inspect
without seeded data.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This change improves work-product presentation in task threads and the
task Artifacts tab.

**Subsystem affected**

The change affects shared work-product contracts, the runner diff path,
server attachment and work-product services, GitHub metadata refresh,
the React board UI, and Storybook.

**Current behavior**

The thread used generic cards. Some files uploaded by a run existed only
as message attachments. The Artifacts tab showed a flat list without run
context or filters. Storybook showed only one resting card per kind.

**Proposed behavior**

The thread uses rich cards for supported work-product types. Each
run-produced file registers one attachment-backed artifact work product.
The Artifacts tab groups outputs by run and supports filters. Storybook
shows every kind and requested state, PR lifecycle states, stats
variants, truncation, mobile layout, and message-tail media.

**Reason and benefit**

Users can identify outputs quickly. Reviewers can inspect all card
permutations without creating task data.

**Breaking changes**

None. The metadata fields and automatic artifact registration are
additive. Existing attachments and work products keep their current
behavior.

## What Changed

- Added a shared rich work-product card with kind-specific content and a
compact inventory variant.
- Added pull-request and commit diff metadata plus bounded GitHub state
refresh.
- Added media strips and typed file chips to message-tail attachments.
- Registered each run-produced attachment as an artifact work product in
the same server transaction.
- Grouped task artifacts by run with agent and timestamp headings.
- Added type and run filters, image thumbnails, compact cards, and a
company Artifacts link.
- Added a Storybook kind-by-state matrix with stats variants for all
eight visual kinds.
- Added PR open, draft, merged, and closed examples, long-title
truncation, an exact 375-pixel viewport, and message-tail overflow
coverage.
- Closed reconciled runtime work products when the linked runtime stops
or disappears, so the card shows `Stopped` instead of `Unhealthy`.

### Screenshots

The earlier artifact inventory comparison remains available in the
[artifact inventory
viewer](https://pages.paperclip.ing/rich-artifacts-inventory-proof-20260902/).

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook` passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/work-product-runtime-reconciliation.test.ts` passed
with 5 tests.
- Chromium visual checks passed at desktop and 375-pixel widths.
- All 30 latest-head GitHub checks passed. One unrelated annotation test
was flaky and passed on its single retry.
- Greptile passed at 5/5 with zero unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Low risk. The Storybook change adds review fixtures only. The runtime
fix changes read-time reconciliation without database writes.
- The matrix is intentionally large so every permutation stays visible
in one review surface.

> I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This work does not duplicate planned core

Dotta 39206c0096 feat(ui): complete the task workspace (#12640)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task page is the main place where people guide and review agent
work.
> - Native runner events already project into the existing task chat on
the lower stack.
> - The larger task workspace must support those events without breaking
direct adapters.
> - Legacy questions, final replies, empty transcripts, and classic
controls must keep their behavior.
> - This pull request completes the provider-neutral task workspace
experience.
> - The benefit is one coherent task surface for native and direct
execution paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12639.
Refs #12617.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Task chat, task detail, side panels, interaction forms, and transcript
presentation.

**Problem or motivation**

The task page does not provide one complete workspace for live activity,
plans, questions, queued guidance, files, and documents. Earlier native
UI work also exposed compatibility risks in legacy question and reply
paths.

**Proposed solution**

Add the task workspace components and provider-neutral protocol
presentation. Keep runner-only controls behind runtime facts. Preserve
all direct-adapter composer, transcript, interaction, and finalization
behavior.

**Alternatives considered**

A separate runner page would duplicate task behavior. Replacing legacy
transcript logic would create unnecessary adapter regressions.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the unified task experience and the Cloud and Sandbox
agents milestone.

## Stack

- Base PR: #12639.
- Lower PR: #12638.
- This PR contains only its 119-file UI delta against
`runner/remote-wss-transport`.
- The next stack PR adds administrator and observability controls.

## What Changed

- Added a reusable task workspace side panel for files and documents.
- Added provider-neutral cards for tools, plans, questions, protocol
activity, and progress.
- Added queued guidance and richer composer state.
- Added compact and expanded interaction presentation.
- Added live activity, thinking, usage, recovery, and final reply
presentation.
- Added document annotations and task deep links.
- Added bounded question validation and response handling.
- Preserved native runner event projection from master.
- Preserved legacy channel-less replies and explicit final reply
precedence.
- Preserved direct-adapter and classic-interface controls.
- Did not change server execution selection, Rust code, migrations,
workflows, or `pnpm-lock.yaml`.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run UI tests, repository tests, typecheck, build,
browser tests, security, and policy gates.
- Tests cover active, settled, empty-transcript, interaction,
queued-message, plan, question, file, document, and classic-interface
states.
- Compatibility tests cover direct adapters and native runner projection
together.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check runner/remote-wss-transport...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 119 UI-only files.

## Risks

- This is a large task-page change.
- Most files are new focused components and tests.
- Shared transcript code keeps the lower native projection and legacy
direct-adapter fallbacks.
- Runner-only controls use adapter and runtime facts.
- No execution path or rollout flag changes in this PR.

first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 9e9f744f58 Show blocker links in the task chat (#11456)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps operators supervise agent work through tasks and
task threads.
> - The redesigned task thread shows the current work and its state.
> - A blocked task did not show the dependency that prevented progress.
> - Operators had to leave the thread to find the direct and final
blockers.
> - This pull request adds compact blocker links at the top and bottom
of the task thread.
> - The benefit is that operators can identify and open the relevant
tasks without adding a large notice to the thread.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The redesigned task thread did not show which task directly blocked the
current task or which task ultimately blocked its dependency chain.

**Subsystem affected**

`server/`, `packages/shared/`, and `ui/` task-blocker presentation.

**Current behavior**

A blocked task can open in the redesigned thread without a visible
dependency link at the top or bottom of the conversation.

**Proposed behavior**

Show one compact amber row for the direct blocker. Show a second row for
the selected final blocker when one exists. Render the rows at both ends
of the thread.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can see the reason for the blocked state and open the relevant
task from the conversation. The compact rows preserve thread density.

**Breaking changes**

None. The new blocker-attention fields are optional. Existing clients
remain compatible.

## What Changed

- Added a compact task-chat component for direct and selected final
blocker links.
- Added the blocker rows to the top and bottom of populated and empty
task threads.
- Added link-ready blocker-attention details so an intermediate selected
task stays on its correct direct chain.
- Included blocker-link changes in the thread content key so pinned
threads follow a newly added bottom row.
- Added component, scrolling, server contract, and Storybook coverage
for the new states.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts` (38 tests passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`

## Risks

- Low risk. The rows only render while the task status is `blocked` and
an unresolved blocker is available.
- Long titles are truncated to keep each blocker on one line. The full
task label remains available in the link title.
- Older server payloads keep the original leaf-selection behavior
because the new sampled details are optional.

DottaandPaperclip 8cb0ce0de5 fix(ui): restore queued message interrupt action (#11374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task thread lets an operator add guidance while an agent run is
active
> - A new message can wait behind that active run as a queued message
> - The classic task view lets the operator interrupt the target run
from that queued message
> - The redesigned task view did not expose the same action
> - This pull request restores the action and keeps it bound to the
exact target run
> - The benefit is that operators can apply urgent guidance without
switching task views

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The redesigned task view showed `Queued` for a queued operator message,
but it did not show the existing interrupt action.

**Expected behavior**

The queued message must show `Interrupt` next to `Queued`. The action
must stop the exact run that the message is waiting behind.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task in the redesigned task view while an agent run is active.
2. Send a new operator message so it enters the queued state.
3. Observe that the queued message has no interrupt action.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`bc0b5a1642`

**Deployment mode**

All deployment modes that use the redesigned task view.

## What Changed

- Preserve persisted queued state and the target run ID in the
redesigned thread model.
- Render a token-compliant `Interrupt` action beside the queued state.
- Reuse the existing exact-run interrupt callback and show a disabled
`Interrupting…` state during the request.
- Keep an assigned queue target immutable so an in-flight comment cannot
rebind its interrupt action to a replacement run.
- Add regression tests for persisted queued messages, replacement-run
races, and the in-progress action state.
- No documentation update was required because this restores existing
behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts
ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx -t 'queued message actions|queues
messages against a queued live run and interrupts that exact
run|commentsToTaskChatItems'`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx -t 'queued
message|queues messages'`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` (52 passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run` (all server and UI groups passed; the CLI group passed
after inherited static AWS credential variables were omitted)
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`

## Risks

Low risk. The change only adds an action to queued messages that have a
target run and an interrupt callback. Messages without both values keep
the current rendering.

0ee0543e5b feat(ui): refine the chat-style task workflow (#11263)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue detail view is the main place where people read work and
guide agents.
> - The chat-style task view needs clear messages, controls, properties,
and document feedback.
> - Dense metadata and disconnected controls make active work harder to
scan.
> - This pull request refines the existing chat-style task workflow
across desktop and mobile layouts.
> - The benefit is a clearer issue thread with faster access to the
controls that guide work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The change improves the chat-style issue detail view that was introduced
in [#10606](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10606) and
expanded in
[#10707](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10707).

**Current behavior**

The issue thread spreads task controls across the page. Agent-turn
metadata competes with the message content. Document annotation comments
use inline placement that limits the document reading area. The mobile
composer can overlap the bottom navigation.

**Proposed behavior**

The issue view keeps the thread focused on message content. It moves
supporting controls into the properties area, adds searchable
assignment, restores the sub-task tree, docks document comments in a
side gutter, and keeps the mobile composer clear of navigation.

**Reason and benefit**

People can scan active work faster and find task controls without
leaving the issue. The layout also gives documents and mobile
conversations more usable space.

**Breaking changes**

None. The change updates presentation and interaction behavior in the
existing issue UI.

## What Changed

- Refined task-chat message spacing, metadata, agent bubbles, and
composer alignment.
- Added searchable assignment and restored sub-task navigation in the
properties pane.
- Moved document annotation comments into a right-side gutter.
- Kept the mobile composer above the auto-hiding bottom navigation.
- Added and updated focused component tests for the changed
interactions.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `TZ=UTC pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/InlineEntitySelector.test.tsx
src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx`
- The token gates report 3/3 clean.
- The focused test run passes 124 tests in 5 files.
- Visual snapshot baselines were not updated. This follows the
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)."

## Risks

- The changes affect several related issue-detail layouts. A browser
review should cover desktop and mobile widths before merge.
- The monitor-row test formats time in the host timezone. The
verification command sets `TZ=UTC` to match CI.

execution, and GitHub tools.

scotttongandClaude Opus 4.8 ea83c5c822 feat(task-chat): bring back copy/👍/👎 actions on the agent bubble footer (#11025)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task view shows a threaded conversation between the user and the
agent, with agent replies rendered as bubbles that carry a "✓ Worked · N
tools" summary line.
> - The conference-room chat already offers per-message copy and
thumbs-up / thumbs-down feedback, but the redesigned task thread dropped
these controls from the agent bubble footer.
> - Users lose a quick way to copy an agent reply or send feedback on
it, and the redesign silently ignored the feedback-vote props it was
already given.
> - This pull request prepends a copy · thumbs-up · thumbs-down cluster
to the bubble summary line and wires the existing feedback-vote props
through.
> - The benefit is a consistent feedback surface across both chat views,
with no new API.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change; the underlying issue is
described inline below following the feature template
(`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml`).

#### Problem or motivation

The redesigned task thread renders each agent reply with a "✓ Worked · N
tools · <timestamp>" summary line, but it dropped the copy and thumbs-up
/ thumbs-down controls that the conference-room chat still shows. Users
can no longer copy an agent reply or vote feedback from the task thread.
The redesign component already received `feedbackVotes` and `onVote`
props but ignored them.

#### Proposed solution

Prepend a copy · 👍 · 👎 cluster to the summary line, leading the
always-visible timestamp, reusing the shared `IssueChatFeedbackButtons`
so both chat views speak the same feedback language. Anchor the cluster
to the turn's summary row (a sibling of the expandable tool-history
fold) so it stays on the summary line whether the tool history is
collapsed or expanded.

#### Alternatives considered

Placing the cluster inside the expandable fold — rejected because
expanding the tool history then re-centered the actions to the middle of
the tall fold.

#### Roadmap alignment

UI polish to the task thread; no core-roadmap overlap.

## What Changed

- Add `TaskChatBubbleActions`: a copy · thumbs-up · thumbs-down cluster
built on the shared `IssueChatFeedbackButtons`.
- Render the cluster on the agent bubble's "✓ Worked · …" summary line,
leading the timestamp; runless agent replies get the same cluster with
the timestamp trailing. Human and system bubbles are unchanged.
- Add a `leading` slot to `TaskChatTurn` so the actions sit on the
summary row, a sibling of the tool-history fold, and stay anchored when
the fold expands.
- Wire the redesign to the `feedbackVotes` / `onVote` props it already
received.
- Add a demo binding in the `TaskChatLab` dev harness.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 gates CLEAN.
- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across all packages.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatBubble.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatTurn.test.tsx` — 31/31 pass.
- Manual: open a task thread, confirm the copy / 👍 / 👎 cluster shows on
the agent bubble summary line before the timestamp, copy works, votes
toggle, and the cluster stays on the summary line when the tool history
is expanded.

Visual change: snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated, per the
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

Low risk. UI-only change scoped to the redesigned task-chat bubble
footer. It reuses an existing shared feedback component and existing
vote props; no API, schema, or server change. Human and system bubbles
are untouched.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.8 (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-4-8`, extended
thinking enabled, tool use.

9b9631b724 feat(ui): chat-style tasks polish — rich-text composer, attachment chips, live-turn interstitials, mobile layout (#10707)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators talk to their agents on the issue detail page. An
experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view (#10606) makes that page read as a
conversation instead of a ticket form.
> - The first release of that view shipped with a plain-text composer,
no visible narration while an agent works, and a desktop-only layout.
> - Users write formatted replies, paste screenshots, and follow long
agent runs from their phones. The experimental view should support all
of that before it can graduate.
> - This pull request is the next iteration of the same experiment: a
rich-text composer with attachments, live-turn narration on the status
line, cleaner settled-turn history, and a mobile layout.
> - The benefit is a chat view that feels alive while the agent works
and stays readable after it finishes, on desktop and mobile, still fully
behind the existing opt-in flag.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).
Refs #10606 (the merged first release of the experimental chat-style
task view; this PR iterates on it).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #8228 — open PR that polishes the classic issue chat composer. It
targets the flag-off legacy path; this PR only changes the flag-on
experimental view.
- #10466 — merged blockquote-recovery fix in the shared MarkdownEditor.
This PR now reuses that editor inside the chat composer.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view on the issue detail page
(Settings → Experimental, `enableTaskChatRedesign`, default off).

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page, chat-style task view).

**Current behavior**

With the experiment enabled, the composer is a plain textarea with no
formatting, no attachment preview, and no mention support. While an
agent runs, the status line shows only a static label, and the agent's
narration text is hidden. Finished runs render one settled row per turn,
so a run with many short turns produces a long list of near-duplicate
"Worked" rows, and turns without a comment append at the bottom out of
order. On mobile, the desktop bounded-height thread makes the page
scroll poorly.

**Proposed behavior**

The composer uses the shared MarkdownEditor: markdown formatting,
mentions, image paste with thumbnail previews, and non-image attachment
chips. Sending posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. While an agent runs, the status
line rotates playful status words and surfaces the agent's own narration
as short interstitial updates: each update holds for a minimum dwell, is
replaced only when superseded, and slides through a one-line viewport
with tokenized motion. Back-to-back settled turns coalesce into one
"Worked" row with summed durations and re-derived tool counts, and
comment-less settled turns insert chronologically at their run's start
time. On mobile, the thread renders in the document flow with window
auto-follow and a sticky safe-area composer; the desktop layout is
unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

The chat view is only convincing if it feels like a conversation with a
working agent. Rich text and screenshots are table stakes for chat
input. Live narration gives moment-to-moment feedback without opening
transcripts. Coalesced history keeps long-running tasks readable. Mobile
support lets operators follow runs away from their desks.

**Breaking changes**

None. Every change is gated behind the existing `enableTaskChatRedesign`
flag, which is off by default. The flag-off page is unchanged.

## What Changed

- `TaskChatComposer` swaps its textarea for the shared `MarkdownEditor`:
markdown formatting, mentions, image paste with object-URL thumbnail
previews (revoked on clear and unmount), and posting on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter.
- Non-image attachments render as chips on a new shared
`ui/attachment.tsx` primitive (adds the `@base-ui/react` dependency it
builds on).
- New `status-whimsy.ts`: deterministic rotation of playful status words
on the live status line.
- Live interstitial narration: the transcript adapter tags agent
self-talk, and the live status line shows it as ephemeral one-line
updates with a ~4s minimum dwell, hold-until-superseded replacement, and
a slide transition driven by new `--motion-line-scroll` tokens
(cataloged in `motion-tokens.ts`, which a test keeps 1:1 with
`index.css`). Hover affordance applies only to the status line, with no
leading icon.
- Settled-turn history: `coalesceSettledTurns` merges back-to-back
settled agent turns into one "Worked" row (summed per-run durations,
tool counts re-derived from the merged turn); `assembleThreadItems`
inserts comment-less settled turns chronologically at run start instead
of appending them at the bottom; settled turns render tool rows only
(the separate thinking block component is removed).
- The "Worked" summary attaches to the reply timestamp row, and thread
timestamps are always visible.
- Mobile layout: the thread renders with `scroll={false}` in the page
scroll, a new `useWindowAutoFollow` hook keeps the window pinned to new
content, the composer is sticky with safe-area padding, and the editor
uses 16px text so iOS does not zoom on focus. The desktop bounded chain
is untouched.
- New `TaskChatDescriptionBubble` renders the issue description as the
first chat bubble, and `McpIcon` gives MCP tools a distinct icon.
- `IssueDetail.test.tsx` stubs `TaskChatThread`: the composer's
`@mdxeditor` dependency cannot load under jsdom's CSSOM, and the suite
exercises the flag-off path.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `node scripts/check-task-chat-motion.mjs` — OK (30 files scanned,
seams present).
- `cd ui && npx tsc -b` — clean.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,482 of 3,483 tests pass locally. The
one failure is the `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row
time-formatting test, which is timezone-sensitive: it fails identically
on unmodified `origin/master` in a non-UTC timezone and passes with
`TZ=UTC`. It is not related to this change.
- Manual: enable "Chat-Style Tasks" in Settings → Experimental and open
an issue with an assigned agent. Comment to start a run: the status line
rotates status words and shows the agent's narration as short held
updates. After the run, consecutive turns fold into one "Worked" row
under the reply timestamp. Paste an image into the composer to see a
thumbnail chip; attach a non-image file to see a file chip; send with
Cmd+Enter. Open the same issue in a narrow viewport to see the
document-flow layout with the sticky composer.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The composer now loads the shared MarkdownEditor inside the chat view.
The editor is already used across the app (issue descriptions,
comments), so its behavior is well exercised; composer-specific handling
(paste, attachments, submit keys) is covered by new tests.
- The transcript adapter changes how live narration and settled turns
are derived from run logs. Malformed or legacy logs degrade to generic
rows rather than crashing, and the adapter suites cover the merge and
ordering rules.
- Object URLs for paste previews are revoked on send-clear and unmount
to avoid leaks; jsdom environments without `URL.createObjectURL` are
guarded.
- All changes are behind the default-off `enableTaskChatRedesign` flag.
Overall risk with the flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 c185e64b77 feat(ui): chat-style task view behind an experimental flag (#10606)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators spend most of their time on the issue detail page. They
talk to the assigned agent there through comments.
> - The current page reads as a ticket form. The thread sits below
properties, the composer sits mid-page, and live agent activity renders
as dense transcript logs.
> - Talking to an agent is a conversation. A chat-first layout matches
that mental model better than a ticket form.
> - A layout change this large must not disrupt current users. It needs
a safe opt-in path and full parity with the existing thread features.
> - This pull request adds a chat-style task view behind a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle. The flag is off by default and the
existing page is unchanged when it is off.
> - The benefit is a focused, readable conversation with the agent: live
tool activity folds into compact summaries, the composer stays at the
bottom, and properties, plan, and artifacts move into header tabs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #4489 — an earlier, closed attempt to promote the conversation to the
primary surface on issue detail. This PR is a fresh, flag-gated take on
the same goal.
- #8837 — an open PR that proposes a two-column task layout. It
restructures the same page but keeps the ticket paradigm; this PR is
orthogonal because it is opt-in and chat-first.

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page).

**Problem or motivation**

The issue detail page presents agent conversations as a ticket:
properties first, thread below, composer in the middle of the page, and
raw transcript noise during live runs. Users who mainly converse with
their agents must scroll past chrome to follow the conversation, and
live activity is hard to read.

**Proposed solution**

An opt-in chat-style view of the issue detail page, gated by a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle in Settings → Experimental. With
the flag on, the thread fills the center pane, the composer docks to the
bottom of the viewport, Properties / Plan / Artifacts become header
tabs, live turns show a status pill with the current tool action and
elapsed time, and settled turns collapse to a "Worked · N tools" summary
that expands into per-tool rows. With the flag off, nothing changes.

**Alternatives considered**

Restyling the existing layout in place (rejected: too disruptive without
an opt-out), and a separate chat page beside the issue page (rejected:
splits the task's single source of truth). A per-request lab page
(`/task-chat-lab`, dev-only) was kept for design iteration instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md "CEO Chat" wants lighter conversations that still resolve to
real work objects. This PR keeps the core task-and-comments model — it
only changes presentation, opt-in — so it does not duplicate that
planned work.

## What Changed

- New `enableTaskChatRedesign` instance setting, exposed as a
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment card in Settings → Experimental (shared
feature catalog, validators, server instance-settings service, and UI
settings page).
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/` component family: chat thread with
turn grouping, agent reply bubbles, live status pill, collapsible turn
summaries with per-tool rows, plan tab with a sticky CTA action bar,
inline interaction cards, per-request mode chips, and a bottom-docked
composer.
- A shared tool taxonomy (`tool-taxonomy.ts`) maps tool names to verbs
and icons; the status pill, tool rows, and the classic transcript view
all use it.
- A transcript adapter converts stored run logs into chat turns; it
dedupes tool-call updates by `toolUseId` so tool counts match the
expanded rows, and it keeps a tool row's first real name when later
generic updates arrive.
- Composer: posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter, supports image paste with
object-URL thumbnail previews (revoked on clear/unmount), and uploads
through the issue attachments route.
- `IssueDetail.tsx`: with the flag on, pane tabs move to the header bar,
the header is not sticky, and the chat fills the center; with the flag
off, the previous layout renders unchanged.
- Motion tokens for the new animations live in `ui/src/index.css` with a
`motion-tokens.ts` catalog and a test that keeps the two in sync (the
catalog now also covers the shared enter/exit/swap tokens that the
decision/quicklook block declares).
- A dev-only `/task-chat-lab` page with fixtures and a tweak panel for
motion tuning.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across the workspace.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,344 of 3,345 tests pass locally. The
one failure is `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row time formatting,
which is timezone-sensitive: it also fails on unmodified `origin/master`
in a non-UTC timezone and passes with `TZ=UTC`. It is not related to
this change.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 21/21 pass (covers
the new setting).
- Manual: start the dev server, open Settings → Experimental, enable
"Chat-Style Tasks", and open any issue. The thread fills the page, the
composer docks to the bottom, and Properties / Plan / Artifacts appear
as header tabs. Assign an agent and comment to watch a live run: the
status pill shows the current tool action with elapsed time, and the
finished turn folds into a "Worked · N tools" summary. Disable the
toggle and confirm the classic page is unchanged.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The flag-off path goes through the same `IssueDetail.tsx` file, so a
regression there would affect current users. Mitigation: the classic
markup renders through the same components as before behind explicit
flag conditionals, and the full UI suite passes.
- The transcript adapter interprets stored run-log formats, including
legacy entries without `toolUseId`. Malformed logs degrade to generic
tool rows rather than crashing.
- The new view changes no server behavior other than one additive
instance setting; it is additive and default-off. Overall risk with the
flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.
