This PR contains the onboarding and ClipLab update on top of that foundation. Original feature work by @tonio-alucema; merge preparation preserves the original commits. Problem or motivation The onboarding hero and the app's avatars were two different characters on two different ClipLab engines. Steps 1 → 4 of the wizard cut between screens, and the wizard mounted cold when a cloud-managed workspace arrived from Cloud's naming screen. Proposed solution Vendor ClipLab v0.2.0 as the shared engine and render one studio-exported character from it in every palette, for every pose and size. Play the export's one-shot wake on Review with the palette fading in over the gray dormant loop. Hand steps over inside one presence so the footer slides instead of jumping, and play the arrival half of that hand-off when the wizard opens directly on the agent step. Alternatives considered Exporting mp4/webm loops per size: no cursor following, no clean alpha, and the palette "colour in" is a runtime blend. Minting a `cap-v2` character version: nothing had shipped `cap-v1`, so the artwork is regenerated in place instead of migrated. Keeping the separately vendored runtime bundle for the hero: two engines and two characters in one app. ## What Changed - `packages/shared/src/cliplab`: re-vendored from ClipLab v0.2.0 (`987b6db0`) with the Paperclip adaptations replayed (optional graphics backend for the Node SVG snapshot path, supersampled live textures, character framing, deterministic SVG id prefixes); new upstream `particles.ts`. - `packages/shared/src/cliplab/character.ts`: the studio export, mirrored from `ui/src/assets/cliplab/onboarding.character.json` by `scripts/sync-cliplab-character.mjs` (drift caught by `check:token-gates`). `characterDefinition` builds every palette from it; the resting portrait is its idle beat. - `OnboardingCharacter`: gray `sleepy` loop through the agent and connect steps; on Review the one-shot sleepy → wink → idle plays on two lock-step canvases while the palette fades in, then the `idle` loop. Body-follows the pointer, page-scoped. 160px in the wizard. - `OnboardingWizard`: steps 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 hand over inside one `AnimatePresence` (departing content fades and gives its room back; arriving content opens its room then fills); the hero has a room that opens on the walk into the agent step; opening directly on the agent step plays the arrival half; the self-hosted naming step uses the arc's label and field. - Motion vocabulary in `onboarding-motion.ts` (`stepContentMotion`, `ledeMotion`, `heroRoomMotion`, `heroRoomArrival`, `titleSwapMotion`). - Storybook: `Onboarding / Character` (Wake Up), `Onboarding / Agent arc` walkable from the naming step plus `Arrive From Cloud`; the companies fixture answers the wizard's create call with a company. - Uses the shared runtime for onboarding; `doc/agent-personas.md` documents the shared character. - Releases both onboarding canvases after partial startup or transition failure. Registers each canvas before seeking so synchronous render errors can release it. Six component tests cover these failures and palette changes before or during wake. - Refreshes both sleeping canvases when the palette changes, including a palette change in the same render as wake. - Moves choreography values into the CSS token layer and preserves the shared motion catalog drift check across the imported stylesheet. - Repairs the static Storybook avatar route and uses accessible heading names/current button labels in the wizard play functions. - Closes the lazy avatar worker pool during application shutdown. ## Verification - Merge-preparation checks: `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm build-storybook`, and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass. The final UI typecheck and 123 focused onboarding, lifecycle, and token catalog tests pass. All 55 checks on final head `b4f5e201a1564083d163abc6f93f5b3da06ccefd` pass, including the full sharded test suite, runner verification, and all eight browser shards ([CI run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35445430535)). The duplicate monolithic local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after CI completed; it is not claimed as a separate completed local run. - Chromium walkthrough: palette change, wake, return to sleep, WebGL failure fallback, Review step hand-offs and cloud arrival pass with normal and reduced motion; no browser errors. The signoff happy-path browser test also passes against a disposable instance. - The final CI run confirms the catalog fix and a passing signoff browser shard. The earlier signoff failure was a heartbeat-run availability timeout; the focused local reproduction and final CI passed without signoff code changes. - Original author verification: - `pnpm check:token-gates` (includes the new character sync check); shared, server avatar/persona (17) and UI onboarding/persona (137) suites pass; `pnpm build-storybook` packages all 3,564 avatar PNGs through the worker pipeline. - Storybook: `Agents / Personas` Sizes, Expressions and Palettes render the studio character at every size and pose; `Onboarding / Character → Wake Up` plays the wake on the shared engine; `Onboarding / Agent arc` walks 1 → 4 with the hand-offs, and `Arrive From Cloud` plays the arrival (measured: content room 6 → 65px over 320ms, fade to 1.0 by ~560ms, footer travel continuous). - The original author walked the agent → connect → review flow and wake after a real sign-in on staging. - Not done here: the Linux Storybook visual baselines (`tests/storybook-visual/agent-personas.spec.ts`) need re-baselining for the new engine, hero size and naming-step changes. ## Risks - Every avatar's pixels change (new engine, new character) under the unchanged `cap-v1` name. Stacks that rendered avatars on the previous engine keep those PNGs in their cache (`generated-agent-avatars/cap-v1/...`, served immutable) until cleared; only the two pinned staging stacks ever did. - The one-shot handoff to the idle loop is timed from the sequence's authored duration (the engine reports completion by continuing into idle itself); presentation only, nothing in the wizard's state waits on it. - Reduced motion skips the wake and the hand-offs; jsdom is treated the same way, so the wizard tests see the next step's content immediately. - The committed export differs from the studio by one animation (Loop off, leading idle step removed); a re-export without that fix would play a 5.6s idle before the wake. ## Model Used Original feature: Anthropic Claude Fable 5.1 (`claude-fable-5-1`) in Claude Code, with shell, browser, and file tools.

feat(onboarding): ClipLab sleepy-to-wake hero and step hand-offs (#13629 )

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents have a persistent visual identity (#13171): a ClipLab
character in one of 17 palettes, rendered as cached PNGs in lists and as
a live character in larger placements.
> - The onboarding wizard is where a person meets that identity first,
and it showed a stock ClipLab expression on the previous engine while
the rest of the app would show a different character on a newer one.
> - The wizard's steps also cut from one screen to the next, so the arc
read as separate pages rather than one walk.
> - This pull request puts one character on one engine everywhere, gives
the wizard's hero the studio's sleepy → wink → idle sequence on Review,
and hands the steps over inside one presence.
> - The benefit is that what wakes on Review is exactly what the agent
looks like on the dashboard afterwards, and the walk to it reads as one
screen changing.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13171, now merged into master. This PR contains the onboarding and
ClipLab update on top of that foundation. Original feature work by
@tonio-alucema; merge preparation preserves the original commits.

**Problem or motivation**

The onboarding hero and the app's avatars were two different characters
on two different ClipLab engines. Steps 1 → 4 of the wizard cut between
screens, and the wizard mounted cold when a cloud-managed workspace
arrived from Cloud's naming screen.

**Proposed solution**

Vendor ClipLab v0.2.0 as the shared engine and render one
studio-exported character from it in every palette, for every pose and
size. Play the export's one-shot wake on Review with the palette fading
in over the gray dormant loop. Hand steps over inside one presence so
the footer slides instead of jumping, and play the arrival half of that
hand-off when the wizard opens directly on the agent step.

**Alternatives considered**

Exporting mp4/webm loops per size: no cursor following, no clean alpha,
and the palette "colour in" is a runtime blend. Minting a `cap-v2`
character version: nothing had shipped `cap-v1`, so the artwork is
regenerated in place instead of migrated. Keeping the separately
vendored runtime bundle for the hero: two engines and two characters in
one app.

## What Changed

- `packages/shared/src/cliplab`: re-vendored from ClipLab v0.2.0
(`987b6db0`) with the Paperclip adaptations replayed (optional graphics
backend for the Node SVG snapshot path, supersampled live textures,
character framing, deterministic SVG id prefixes); new upstream
`particles.ts`.
- `packages/shared/src/cliplab/character.ts`: the studio export,
mirrored from `ui/src/assets/cliplab/onboarding.character.json` by
`scripts/sync-cliplab-character.mjs` (drift caught by
`check:token-gates`). `characterDefinition` builds every palette from
it; the resting portrait is its idle beat.
- `OnboardingCharacter`: gray `sleepy` loop through the agent and
connect steps; on Review the one-shot sleepy → wink → idle plays on two
lock-step canvases while the palette fades in, then the `idle` loop.
Body-follows the pointer, page-scoped. 160px in the wizard.
- `OnboardingWizard`: steps 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 hand over inside one
`AnimatePresence` (departing content fades and gives its room back;
arriving content opens its room then fills); the hero has a room that
opens on the walk into the agent step; opening directly on the agent
step plays the arrival half; the self-hosted naming step uses the arc's
label and field.
- Motion vocabulary in `onboarding-motion.ts` (`stepContentMotion`,
`ledeMotion`, `heroRoomMotion`, `heroRoomArrival`, `titleSwapMotion`).
- Storybook: `Onboarding / Character` (Wake Up), `Onboarding / Agent
arc` walkable from the naming step plus `Arrive From Cloud`; the
companies fixture answers the wizard's create call with a company.
- Uses the shared runtime for onboarding; `doc/agent-personas.md`
documents the shared character.
- Releases both onboarding canvases after partial startup or transition
failure. Registers each canvas before seeking so synchronous render
errors can release it. Six component tests cover these failures and
palette changes before or during wake.
- Refreshes both sleeping canvases when the palette changes, including a
palette change in the same render as wake.
- Moves choreography values into the CSS token layer and preserves the
shared motion catalog drift check across the imported stylesheet.
- Repairs the static Storybook avatar route and uses accessible heading
names/current button labels in the wizard play functions.
- Closes the lazy avatar worker pool during application shutdown.

## Verification

- Merge-preparation checks: `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm
build-storybook`, and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass. The final UI
typecheck and 123 focused onboarding, lifecycle, and token catalog tests
pass. All 55 checks on final head
`b4f5e201a1564083d163abc6f93f5b3da06ccefd` pass, including the full
sharded test suite, runner verification, and all eight browser shards
([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35445430535)).
The duplicate monolithic local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after CI
completed; it is not claimed as a separate completed local run.
- Chromium walkthrough: palette change, wake, return to sleep, WebGL
failure fallback, Review step hand-offs and cloud arrival pass with
normal and reduced motion; no browser errors. The signoff happy-path
browser test also passes against a disposable instance.
- The final CI run confirms the catalog fix and a passing signoff
browser shard. The earlier signoff failure was a heartbeat-run
availability timeout; the focused local reproduction and final CI passed
without signoff code changes.
- Original author verification:
- `pnpm check:token-gates` (includes the new character sync check);
shared, server avatar/persona (17) and UI onboarding/persona (137)
suites pass; `pnpm build-storybook` packages all 3,564 avatar PNGs
through the worker pipeline.
- Storybook: `Agents / Personas` Sizes, Expressions and Palettes render
the studio character at every size and pose; `Onboarding / Character →
Wake Up` plays the wake on the shared engine; `Onboarding / Agent arc`
walks 1 → 4 with the hand-offs, and `Arrive From Cloud` plays the
arrival (measured: content room 6 → 65px over 320ms, fade to 1.0 by
~560ms, footer travel continuous).
- The original author walked the agent → connect → review flow and wake
after a real sign-in on staging.
- Not done here: the Linux Storybook visual baselines
(`tests/storybook-visual/agent-personas.spec.ts`) need re-baselining for
the new engine, hero size and naming-step changes.

## Risks

- Every avatar's pixels change (new engine, new character) under the
unchanged `cap-v1` name. Stacks that rendered avatars on the previous
engine keep those PNGs in their cache
(`generated-agent-avatars/cap-v1/...`, served immutable) until cleared;
only the two pinned staging stacks ever did.
- The one-shot handoff to the idle loop is timed from the sequence's
authored duration (the engine reports completion by continuing into idle
itself); presentation only, nothing in the wizard's state waits on it.
- Reduced motion skips the wake and the hand-offs; jsdom is treated the
same way, so the wizard tests see the next step's content immediately.
- The committed export differs from the studio by one animation (Loop
off, leading idle step removed); a re-export without that fix would play
a 5.6s idle before the wake.

## Model Used

Original feature: Anthropic Claude Fable 5.1 (`claude-fable-5-1`) in
Claude Code, with shell, browser, and file tools. The original context
window was not recorded.

Merge preparation and lifecycle regression fixes: OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex,
with reasoning, shell execution, file editing, GitHub CLI, and automated
tests. The session does not expose an exact runtime model ID or
context-window size.

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.

## 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
