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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

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

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Current behavior**

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

**Proposed behavior**

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

**Reason and benefit**

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

**Breaking changes**

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

No duplicate or related public issue was found.

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

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

**Current behavior**

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

**Proposed behavior**

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

**Reason and benefit**

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

**Breaking changes**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

## Stack

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

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.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

**Additional context**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip c3bd0c5d50 feat(skills): add beta releases for the core Paperclip skill (#10228)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to organize
and operate AI-agent companies.
> - Agent behavior depends partly on the bundled Paperclip core skill
synchronized into each runtime.
> - The existing database and runtime plumbing already supports
immutable skill-version snapshots and per-agent version selections, but
no product workflow exposed that capability.
> - Replacing the live bundled skill globally would make champion
adoption risky and difficult to compare across agents.
> - This pull request adds an experimental, instance-level beta-skills
gate plus a repository release registry, immutable seeded releases,
enforcement, and a per-agent release picker.
> - The benefit is controlled per-agent evaluation of frozen core-skill
releases while the default-off path remains behaviorally unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Subsystem affected

Cross-cutting: `server/`, `ui/`, `packages/db`, and `packages/shared`.

### Problem or motivation

Paperclip needs a safe way to evaluate improved versions of its core
operating skill without globally replacing the live default. Today the
version-snapshot and per-agent pin plumbing exists, but operators cannot
use it. A global replacement would make regressions difficult to contain
and would prevent controlled comparisons across agents.

### Proposed solution

Add a default-off instance experiment that exposes immutable, named
core-skill releases. When enabled, operators can pin each agent to a
seeded release; when disabled, every agent resolves the live default
while saved pins remain intact. Validate pinned writes at the API
boundary, gate reads at runtime, and expose the selection in the agent
Skills tab.

### Alternatives considered

- **Replace the bundled core skill globally:** rejected because it
changes every agent at once and provides no rollback/isolation boundary.
- **Ship releases as separate skills:** rejected because releases are
versions of one core capability, not independently enabled skills.
- **Store release snapshots only outside the repository:** rejected
because repository provenance and hashes make builds reproducible and
reviewable.

### Roadmap alignment

This extends the Skills Manager / Skill Studio direction in `ROADMAP.md`
by making core-skill versions operable per agent. It does not duplicate
another open implementation PR; GitHub searches found no related
`enableBetaSkills` change.

### Additional context

The feature remains experimental and default off. The V7 champion was
selected through a multi-model evaluation process, and the frozen
release contents are verified by SHA-256 below.

## What Changed

- Added the default-off instance-level `enableBetaSkills` experimental
flag.
- Added `skills-releases/paperclip/` with the ordered release registry
and frozen `v0` plus `v7-roster` snapshots.
- Added release metadata to `company_skill_versions` and idempotent
release seeding. The migration was planned as `0191`, then renumbered to
`0192` because current `master` claimed `0191` before final rebase.
- Added read-time gating and write-time validation so disabled instances
always resolve the live default and reject pinned-version writes.
- Added the per-agent Release picker in the agent Skills tab, including
responsive layout and beta-pin state.
- Kept `EDITS.md` out of the release registry and PR diff.

### V7 Adoption Evidence

- Paid roster: 6 models, 94-case suite.
- Result: 553/564 pass-within-2, mean 92.17/94, versus the P2 baseline
of 544/564.
- Reference model improved 84→91; maximin improved 84→90.
- Final report:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/skills/optimization/paperclip/pap-14624-p3-final-20260721/

### Provenance

- `v7-roster` is the Phase 1 champion plus additions-only edits
E107–E112. Per-edit rationale remains in the evals repository at
`source/v7-roster/EDITS.md` and is deliberately excluded from this PR.
- `v0` is the `skills/paperclip` tree from commit `ea66ea81`.
- Champion selection was accepted on July 21, 2026 via board card
`9c304fc2` (PAP-14624 G3).
- This delivery mechanism was accepted on July 24, 2026 via plan
revision `2367abd2` (PAP-14858).

### QA Evidence

- P4 QA matrix comment `b7f40522-4e9b-4a3a-9821-28e86fe1a987`: all 6
acceptance criteria passed.
- Automated QA matrix: 166 tests passed with 0 failures, including real
filesystem materialization and full SHA-256 assertions.
- UI QA exercised the real agent Skills tab at desktop and mobile widths
with the experimental flag both on and off.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Focused beta-release matrix: 169 tests passed across shared
validators, server services/routes/heartbeat behavior, instance settings
UI, and release picker UI.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run`: server and UI partitions passed; one CLI doctor test
inherited temporary AWS credentials from the agent heartbeat and
expected no static credentials. The isolated rerun with
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`
unset passed 8/8.
- V7 SHA-256:
- `SKILL.md`:
`53ab290489684cbf116fdd1406a95f6b6f53c9c36358b1bf8bfeae481e253575`
- `references/cases.md`:
`3b821f59064a7761091020a14819a8d787131f24029748563d6c0e1be7e6eaec`
- `references/workflows.md`:
`69747bd6e05f7e3673d1e67b07ff295df1869c05e1fd029804d5fa9177db92cd`
- Confirmed 49 changed files, no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no workflow changes,
and no `EDITS.md`.

## Risks

- **Migration:** low-to-moderate risk. Three nullable columns and one
partial unique index are added idempotently; existing rows remain valid.
- **Behavior:** low risk while the flag is off because read-time
resolution forces the live default and saved pins are preserved but
inactive.
- **Frozen content:** release snapshots intentionally diverge from
future live skill edits; provenance and hashes make that divergence
explicit and reproducible.
- **UI:** low risk. The picker only renders for the bundled core skill
when the experimental flag is enabled and seeded releases exist.

> This extends the existing Skills Manager / Skill Studio direction
described in `ROADMAP.md`; it does not duplicate another open
implementation PR. The GitHub PR search found no related
`enableBetaSkills` change.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex using `gpt-5.5` with reasoning and
terminal/code-execution tools; context-window size is not exposed by
this runtime. Earlier implementation commits also record Claude Opus 4.8
assistance where applicable.

DottaandPaperclip 1de0a3bb1e feat(mcp) [split 2/8]: add governed access contracts (#9557)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Governed MCP access spans contracts, runtime enforcement, adapters,
UI surfaces, and operator verification
> - The parity reference PR #9534 is too large for effective automated
or human review
> - The feature therefore needs a linear stack whose individual diffs
stay below the 100-file review limit
> - This pull request is split 2/8 and focuses on database schema and
shared governance contracts
> - The benefit is a standalone, testable review boundary while
preserving byte-for-byte parity at the top of the stack

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Related parity reference: #9534
- Problem: The governed access model needs additive persistence and
synchronized shared types before server enforcement can compile.
- Proposed solution: Adds migrations 0148–0169, tool-access and Smoke
Lab schema, shared types/validators/gallery helpers, and the minimal
compile-required contract consumers identified by boundary testing.
- Alternatives considered: keeping #9534 as one 403-file review, or
rewriting the feature to manufacture seams; both were rejected in favor
of path extraction plus compile-driven boundary moves.
- Roadmap alignment: this advances the existing governed MCP/tool-access
work already represented by #9534; it does not introduce a separate
roadmap initiative.
- Stack position: base branch is `pap10341-split/01-demo-servers`.
- Merge policy: merge bottom-up, in order, only after the complete
eight-PR stack has been reviewed and the top-of-stack parity gate
remains empty.
- Requested review: QA for migrations/validators; Greptile on every PR.

## What Changed

- Adds migrations 0148–0169, tool-access and Smoke Lab schema, shared
types/validators/gallery helpers, and the minimal compile-required
contract consumers identified by boundary testing.
- Keeps this PR below 100 changed files and independently typecheckable.
- Preserves the final tree from #9534 when combined with the other seven
stack levels.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — passed, including migration numbering and safety
checks
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db test` — passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared test` — passed

## Risks

- Migration or contract mistakes could affect every upper layer; all
migrations are additive/idempotent and compile consumers are included in
this boundary.
- Stack risk: merging out of order can expose incomplete layers;
mitigate by following the documented bottom-up merge policy.
- Parity risk: later edits to an intermediate branch can drift from
#9534; mitigate by re-running the empty top-of-stack diff before merge.

36ec79c196 feat: add attention queue and Decisions surface (#9380)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, where
operators need a reliable way to find and act on work awaiting their
input.
> - The attention and issue-thread interaction subsystems expose those
decision points across server APIs and the board UI.
> - The previous navigation and interaction presentation left these
actions fragmented and did not offer a controlled rollout for the
Decisions surface.
> - This branch adds the attention feed, richer interaction cards,
grouping, dismiss/snooze behavior, and a gated Decisions sidebar entry.
> - It also keeps experimental settings and API contracts synchronized,
with an idempotent migration for the new dismissal state.
> - This pull request delivers the complete, tested attention/Decisions
experience as one reviewable unit.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Adds an operator-focused attention queue and Decisions experience:
grouped decision cards, semantic interaction actions, dismiss/snooze
handling, resilient interaction states, and an experimental flag to
control the Decisions navigation entry.


## Feature Context

### Problem or Motivation

Operators currently have to hunt across approvals, interactions, failed
runs, and budget alerts to find decisions that need their action.

### Proposed Solution

Provide a gated Decisions attention queue that groups actionable items,
supports direct resolution, and preserves operator control through
dismiss and snooze actions.

### Alternatives Considered

Keep separate, source-specific views only; this leaves cross-cutting
operator decisions fragmented and harder to prioritize.

### Roadmap Alignment

This improves the V1 control-plane operator workflow by making pending
governed actions discoverable in one company-scoped surface.

## What Changed

- Added server attention-feed services, routes, interaction handling,
dismiss/snooze support, and an idempotent `0145` inbox-dismissal
migration.
- Added shared attention, inbox-dismissal, and experimental-settings
contracts.
- Added Decisions/attention UI, interaction-card states, sidebar
badge/navigation integration, grouping, keyboard support, and Storybook
coverage.
- Added tests for attention behavior, thread interactions, settings
normalization, dismissals, and API behavior.
- Removed generated screenshots from the final PR diff and rebased the
branch onto current `master`.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/inbox-dismissals.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/attention.test.ts
ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx` — passed: 158 tests
across 9 focused files.
- GitHub Actions for `ad636f560`: build and typecheck/release-registry
have passed; remaining general-server and Greptile checks are in
progress.

## Risks

- Moderate: this is a cross-layer attention/interaction feature with a
new migration and navigation behavior.
- The `enableDecisions` experimental setting defaults to off, limiting
rollout impact.
- Existing dismissal data is backfilled to `dismiss`; the migration is
idempotent and uses guarded constraint creation.

> ROADMAP.md was checked; no duplicate planned core feature was
identified. Related open pull requests were searched before opening this
PR.

70ce005bef Ensure worktree execution starts only after activation (#9374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open-source control plane people use to manage AI
agents and their work.
> - Its scheduler, routines, and heartbeat services decide when agents
automatically begin work.
> - Experimental per-worktree execution is useful for isolated
development, but enabling it previously allowed automatic services to
consider an existing backlog.
> - A worktree activation must therefore create a durable eligibility
boundary rather than merely toggle execution on.
> - This pull request records an activation cutoff and applies it
consistently to automatic routine and heartbeat dispatch.
> - The result is that an enabled worktree executes only work created
after its own activation, while non-worktree behavior remains unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem type:** Bug / safety regression

**Summary:** Enabling experimental run execution in an existing worktree
could start automatic scheduler, routine, watchdog, and heartbeat
activity for work created before that worktree was explicitly armed.

**Expected behavior:** A worktree that has execution enabled only
considers automatically dispatched work created on or after its
activation timestamp. Ambiguous activation state fails closed.
Non-worktree instances keep their existing behavior.

**Related public work:** Refs #8275 (runtime worktree policy gating);
this PR adds an activation-time boundary for automatic execution rather
than changing the general runtime policy.

## What Changed

- Persist a worktree execution activation timestamp and originating
instance ID; stamp them only when the experimental toggle changes from
disabled to enabled.
- Resolve activation state fail-closed when the cutoff is missing,
invalid, disabled, or belongs to another instance.
- Gate automatic routine scheduling, webhooks, watchdog activity, and
heartbeat selection at the activation cutoff; manual runs remain
available.
- Share the canonical worktree truthy-environment helper across routine
dispatch and agent inbox filtering.
- Add cutoff and truthy-runtime regression coverage, plus
experimental-settings UI states that explain armed and suppressed
execution.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — passes: 2
files, 60 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passes.
- Existing CI completed successfully before the follow-up review fixes;
this branch was rebased onto the latest `origin/master` before
retesting.

## Risks

- **Behavioral:** Automatic worktree execution is intentionally more
restrictive; pre-existing work is suppressed until newly created after
activation.
- **Operational:** A malformed or cross-instance activation record fails
closed, requiring an operator to disable and re-enable the experimental
toggle on the intended worktree.
- **Compatibility:** The worktree environment now accepts all canonical
truthy values (`1`, `true`, `yes`, and `on`) consistently; non-worktree
instances are unaffected.
- **Branch metadata:** This existing execution-workspace branch predates
the current naming rule and cannot be renamed under this task's
workspace contract; the code and PR title do not include internal ticket
references.

> `ROADMAP.md` was checked; this targeted execution-safety fix does not
duplicate planned core work.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Code — assisted with the original implementation;
exact model identifier and context window were not recorded in the
repository metadata.
- OpenAI Codex CLI — assisted with PR preparation and review fixes;
exact model identifier and context window are not exposed in this
execution environment. Used with terminal tooling, code editing, and
targeted test execution.

f3ca4d24bc fix: repair dirty/foreign-branch execution worktrees (#9297)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution workspaces are the bridge between Paperclip's control
plane and a local agent's checked-out repository state.
> - When a workspace is restored after a failed or interrupted run, the
recorded branch can disagree with the branch currently checked out on
disk.
> - A clean branch mismatch can be reconciled safely, but a dirty
mismatch needs a lossless path that does not discard uncommitted agent
work.
> - This pull request adds a quarantine-and-restore path that saves
dirty work to a rescue branch, restores the recorded branch, and exposes
the repair from the board UI and run page.
> - The benefit is that operators can recover wedged execution
workspaces without losing work or moving another live branch
unexpectedly.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this workspace-recovery failure, so
this PR includes the bug report inline.

**What happened**

A git worktree-backed execution workspace could become wedged when
Paperclip expected one branch but found a different checked-out branch
with dirty tracked or untracked files. The existing safe repair path
refused the restore, leaving the source task blocked with no lossless
one-click recovery path.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip should preserve dirty work before restoring the recorded
workspace branch. If another live workspace claims the checked-out
branch, or an attached runtime service is active, the repair should
refuse with clear operator-facing evidence instead of risking work loss
or file contention.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a git worktree execution workspace whose persisted branch name
differs from the checked-out branch, add dirty tracked or untracked
files in that worktree, then trigger workspace validation or use the
branch reconcile endpoint. Before this change, the dirty mismatch
remained blocked because Paperclip had no quarantine restore mode.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on the pre-fix workspace-recovery implementation. Verified on
this PR head after rebasing onto current `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local trusted development/worktree deployments using git worktree
execution workspaces and optional workspace runtime services.

## What Changed

- Added dirty-worktree quarantine repair that creates a rescue branch,
commits dirty tracked and untracked files there, restores the recorded
branch, writes audit comments/activity, and preserves the live foreign
branch ref.
- Added `quarantine_restore` branch reconcile API support,
recovery-action resolution, source-task wake behavior, execution-review
preservation, claimant refusal, runtime-service refusal, and coverage
for the non-transactional git ordering.
- Added board UI controls for the repair action in the recovery card
plus a compact failed-run workspace recovery surface that uses the same
reconcile handlers.
- Hardened Greptile follow-up cases by best-effort restoring the
recorded branch after a mid-sequence rescue commit failure and by
refusing quarantine restore while attached runtime services are active.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t
"quarantine_restore"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
-t "workspace dirty quarantine branch repair"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts -t
"repairs clean unrecorded branch drift|adopts unrecorded forward branch
drift"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-routes-authz.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Earlier PR verification covered the route, service, heartbeat, UI
component, and run-page recovery surfaces; Cutter posted public preview
screenshots for the repair popover and run-page panel at
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9297#issuecomment-4926934211.
- GitHub PR checks are green on
`dcac76b05f4cf6e1ee16544c2831d83c7857e475`.
- Greptile is 5/5 with zero annotations and no unresolved review threads
on `dcac76b05f4cf6e1ee16544c2831d83c7857e475`.

## Risks

- Moderate risk because the change intentionally runs git commands
against local worktrees; the implementation refuses dirty repair when
another claimant or active runtime service is detected and records
rescue refs for auditability.
- Compatibility / release-note callout for self-hosted operators:
existing instances that left `enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`
unset now get automatic forward branch reconciliation during heartbeat
workspace recovery. Operators who want the previous advisory-only
behavior can set `experimental.enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward` to
`false`; dirty quarantine repair can likewise be disabled with
`experimental.enableWorkspaceDirtyQuarantineRepair: false`.
- If the git rescue succeeds but a later database write fails, the
worktree may already be restored while the recovery action remains open;
this ordering is documented in code because git side effects cannot
participate in the database transaction.
- UI risk is limited to the workspace recovery surfaces and covered by
component tests plus the existing Cutter visual preview.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with repository tool use,
shell execution, and local test execution. Earlier preserved commits on
this branch also show Claude Code / Claude Opus 4.8 assistance in their
commit metadata.

DottaandPaperclip 8b6a06ee25 [codex] Add built-in agents and Reflection Coach bundle (#9206)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators need first-party agent capabilities for repeatable company
work, not just manually created one-off agents.
> - Built-in agents need to behave like normal company-scoped agents
while preserving approval gates, permissions, budgets, and audit trails.
> - Reflection and coaching work also needs bundled instructions, skill
content, and a routine so the feature can be installed and reset
predictably.
> - The API, database, UI, portability, and tests all need to agree on
the built-in lifecycle from not provisioned through setup, approval,
ready, paused, and reset.
> - This pull request adds built-in agent provisioning and the
Reflection Coach bundle end-to-end.
> - The benefit is a safer first-party path for Paperclip-managed agents
without bypassing the same governance model used for operator-created
agents.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue was found for this exact built-in agent and
Reflection Coach bundle work.

Problem/motivation:
- Paperclip did not have a first-party built-in agent lifecycle for
product-owned agents.
- Bundled agent resources such as default instructions, skills, and
routines needed managed ownership and reset semantics.
- Approval-gated companies needed built-in setup to preserve requested
adapter, budget, manager, and permission state through board approval.
- The board UI needed clear built-in badges, setup affordances,
readiness state, and bundle status without exposing secrets.

Proposed solution:
- Add a company-scoped built-in agent registry,
provisioning/reset/reconcile/status APIs, and Reflection Coach bundled
resources.
- Track bundled managed resources in the database with idempotent
migration behavior.
- Reuse existing agent approval, authorization, budget, and activity-log
paths instead of creating a bypass.
- Add UI setup, badges, gates, bundle panels, and route coverage for
built-in agents.

Duplicate search:
- Searched GitHub PRs for `built-in agents Reflection Coach
repo:paperclipai/paperclip`; only this PR was returned.
- Searched GitHub issues for the same query; no public issues were
returned.

## What Changed

- Added built-in agent definitions, lifecycle state derivation,
provisioning, reset, reconcile, status, and routine-control routes.
- Added the `built_in_managed_resources` migration and schema exports
for bundled instructions, skill, and routine ownership.
- Added the Reflection Coach built-in bundle with default instructions,
skill catalog content, routine template, default permissions, and
managed-resource drift handling.
- Added approval-aware provisioning behavior that preserves requested
adapter config, budgets, manager assignment, and built-in permissions
through hire approval.
- Added authorization and mutation gates for built-in agent and skill
changes, including consented Reflection Coach change paths.
- Added UI surfaces for built-in agent setup, roster/detail badges,
readiness gates, bundle status, routine controls, and route filtering.
- Added company import/export and validator coverage for built-in
managed resources and low-trust/red-team presets.
- Addressed Greptile follow-ups for pending approval reconciliation,
consent-gate error propagation, config-read authorization fallback,
approval-path manager preservation, and non-model adapter provisioning.

## Verification

Local verification:
- `git diff --check public/master..HEAD` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed with all gates clean.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/ConfigureBuiltInAgentModal.test.tsx` passed: 1 file, 4
tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/EntityRow.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Agents.test.tsx ui/src/components/BuiltInAgentGate.test.tsx
ui/src/components/ConfigureBuiltInAgentModal.test.tsx
ui/src/components/BuiltInBundlePanel.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Routines.test.tsx` passed: 7 files, 64 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts
src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts` passed: 3 files, 91 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed after the rebase; `pnpm --filter ui
typecheck` passed after the final UI review fix.

Remote verification on latest head
`1c61f693a4ec881d739022b0e75a8ca8bf8c2cd8`:
- Merge state: `CLEAN`.
- Greptile: `5/5`, zero unresolved Greptile threads.
- PR check rollup: all checks successful, neutral, or skipped as
expected.
- Passing gates include Build, Typecheck + Release Registry, all server
shards, all workspace shards, all serialized server suites, e2e, Canary
Dry Run, policy, review, verify, Socket, Superagent, and Snyk.

## Risks

- This adds a new managed-resource table and migration; the migration
uses idempotent create/add/index guards and passed migration safety
checks.
- Built-in agent provisioning touches approval and authorization paths;
tests cover pending approval preservation, stale retry rejection,
consent gates, and config-read fallback behavior.
- Reflection Coach creates managed instructions, skill, and routine
resources; drift/reset behavior is covered by service tests and redacted
API responses.
- Non-model adapter setup now provisions a `needs_setup` built-in row
before command/endpoint fields are complete; this matches the server
lifecycle and is covered by the setup modal regression test.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5. Exact hosted model ID,
context-window size, and reasoning-mode labels are not exposed in this
runtime; tool use, shell execution, GitHub CLI/API access, and local
code editing were enabled.

b13eb5b2b5 Skill Studio: three-pane skill IDE with sandboxed test runs (#9241)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Skills Manager gives operators a reusable skill layer, but
iteration still required manual edits, ad hoc prompts, and indirect run
inspection.
> - Skill authors need a focused workflow for editing skill files,
saving representative test inputs, and running those inputs through an
agent without exposing harness tasks as normal company work.
> - The backend therefore needs durable test inputs, reusable run
templates, hidden harness issues, scoped run execution, retention
metadata, and read-containment rules around hidden work.
> - The frontend needs a three-pane Studio that keeps skill files, saved
inputs/templates, and run output/history visible together while
preserving the existing design system and token rules.
> - This pull request ships that Skill Studio surface end to end:
database migrations, shared contracts, server APIs/services, hidden
harness execution behavior, UI routes/components, and focused tests.
> - The benefit is faster and safer skill iteration, with inspectable
outputs and fewer ways for internal harness work to leak into normal
task lists, costs, or adjacent read APIs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this feature. Feature request summary:

- Problem: Skill authors need to edit and test company skills in one
place instead of switching between the skill detail page, task creation,
run output, and manual prompt history.
- Proposed solution: Add a Skill Studio workbench with saved inputs,
reusable templates, hidden sandboxed test runs, live run status, output
inspection, run history, rerun/delete controls, and frontmatter-aware
editing.
- Expected users: Paperclip operators and agent-company maintainers who
create, fork, import, and tune skills.
- Related public PRs: Supersedes #9205, which was replaced so the public
PR branch name follows contributor policy.
- Duplicate search: searched public GitHub issues and PRs for "Skill
Studio"; no other active public issue or PR directly covers this
feature.

## What Changed

- Added database migrations for Skill Studio test inputs, test runs,
test run retention, and reusable run templates.
- Added shared Skill Studio types, validators, route helpers,
frontmatter utilities, and status handling.
- Added server services and routes for saved inputs, test runs,
templates, reruns, terminal-run deletion, hidden harness issue
execution, and run-detail hydration.
- Strengthened hidden-issue read containment across issue-adjacent
routes and cost rollups used by skill test harness work.
- Added the Skill Studio UI with skill file editing, frontmatter
editing, saved inputs, templates, run creation/cancel/rerun/delete
flows, output rendering, history, route support, and responsive pane
behavior.
- Added focused backend, shared, and UI tests for the new APIs, routing
logic, editor/run behavior, hidden-issue containment, and migration

## Risks

- Medium risk because this is a broad feature touching database schema,
server orchestration, issue visibility, and a large UI surface.
- Hidden harness issue containment is security-sensitive; this PR
includes regression coverage for adjacent read paths and cost rollups.
- The new migrations are additive and use idempotent guards where
applicable, but deployed databases that previously tested draft
migration numbers should still be checked carefully.
- The UI depends on a new resizable panels package in `ui/package.json`;
the lockfile is intentionally left to repository automation.

Dotta 83f5f59842 [codex] Hide goals sidebar link behind experiment (#9189)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board sidebar is the primary navigation surface for operators
scanning companies, projects, tasks, agents, and related control-plane
tools.
> - Goals still has a route and product surface, but keeping the
top-level sidebar link always visible makes it part of the default
navigation whether or not that surface is ready for every operator.
> - Instance experimental settings already provide a controlled place to
expose optional UI surfaces while they are being evaluated.
> - This pull request adds a dedicated experimental setting for
restoring the Goals sidebar link.
> - The benefit is a quieter default sidebar with an explicit escape
hatch for operators who still need the Goals entry point.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this internal task, so the feature
request is described inline.

**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: `ui/`, `server/`, and `packages/shared`.

**Problem or motivation**
The Goals route remains available, but the top-level Goals sidebar entry
makes that surface part of the default operator navigation. While the
goals surface is still being evaluated, operators need a quieter default
sidebar without losing an escape hatch for teams that still rely on the
link.

**Proposed solution**
Add a boolean instance experimental setting, `enableGoalsSidebarLink`,
default it to `false`, and render the Goals sidebar link only when the
setting is enabled. Expose the toggle in Instance Experimental Settings
so operators can restore the link without changing routes or rebuilding
the app.

**Alternatives considered**
- Remove the Goals route entirely: rejected because this task only asks
to hide the sidebar entry point and preserve access for teams evaluating
goals.
- Keep the sidebar link always visible: rejected because it does not
provide the requested quieter default navigation.
- Hard-code a local UI flag: rejected because instance experimental
settings already provide the expected operator-controlled pattern.

**Roadmap alignment**
Checked `ROADMAP.md`; no overlapping goals/sidebar/experimental roadmap
entry was found.

**Additional context**
The `/goals` route is preserved. This PR only gates the sidebar
navigation item.

## What Changed

- Added `enableGoalsSidebarLink` to the shared instance experimental
settings type and validator, defaulting to `false`.
- Normalized the new setting in the server instance settings service.
- Hid the Goals sidebar nav item unless the new setting is enabled.
- Added a Goals Sidebar Link toggle to the Instance Experimental
Settings page.
- Updated shared, server, sidebar, and settings page tests for the new
setting.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/instance.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`
- `git merge-tree --write-tree HEAD origin/master`
- Searched for duplicate/related PRs by title and
`enableGoalsSidebarLink`; none found.
- Checked `ROADMAP.md` for overlapping goals/sidebar/experimental
entries; none found.

## Risks

Low risk. The main behavior shift is that operators who depended on the
sidebar Goals link need to enable the new experimental toggle. The
`/goals` route itself is not removed.

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based Paperclip CodexCoder session with repository
tool access and command execution. Exact API model identifier and
context window were not exposed by the Paperclip harness.

5163208c3c Add workspace branch ancestry diagnostics (#9117)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run in git worktrees tied to a workspace branch; when the
actual branch diverges from the expected one (e.g. a parent feature
branch was renamed), Paperclip currently has no structured field to
report *why* the branch is incoherent or whether it can be
auto-reconciled
> - The workspace-incoherence fingerprint already captures SHA
mismatches, but there is no evidence field distinguishing "actual branch
is a descendant of expected" (safe to fast-forward) from "branches have
diverged" (needs human review) or "SHAs are unavailable" (unknown)
> - Operators and future recovery flows need a typed verdict to make
decisions without re-running git commands themselves
> - This pull request adds `ancestryVerdict` and `plainLanguageReason`
evidence fields computed via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`, and
scaffolds the off-by-default `enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`
instance setting with no runtime behavior yet
> - The benefit is that future recovery logic can branch on a typed
verdict rather than parsing prose, while the fingerprint v1 payload
stays stable

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue pre-exists for this diagnostic addition.

**Problem or motivation**

When Paperclip detects that an agent's actual workspace branch differs
from the recorded expected branch, the current fingerprint carries only
raw SHAs. There is no typed field indicating whether the actual branch
is a descendant of the expected one (safe reconcile path) vs. a true
divergence (requires human intervention) vs. an indeterminate state
(missing SHAs or git errors). Downstream recovery logic cannot branch
safely without re-running git.

**Proposed solution**

Add `ancestryVerdict` and `plainLanguageReason` to the workspace
incoherence evidence type; compute via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`;
scaffold a feature-flag for future forward-reconcile behavior
(`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`, off by default, not yet read
by any runtime path).

**Alternatives considered**

Encoding the verdict in the existing fingerprint string was rejected
because the fingerprint is a stable identity hash, not a mutable
evidence bag. Changing it would break monitors keyed on the string.

**Roadmap alignment**

Supports future workspace auto-reconcile work; ROADMAP.md has no
conflicting entry for this diagnostic layer.

## What Changed

- `packages/shared/src/types/heartbeat.ts` adds `ancestryVerdict` and
`plainLanguageReason` fields to `WorkspaceIncoherenceEvidence`
- `packages/shared/src/types/instance.ts` adds
`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward` boolean (off by default)
- `packages/shared/src/validators/instance.ts` exports the new flag from
the settings validator
- `server/src/services/workspace-runtime.ts` computes `ancestryVerdict`
via `git merge-base --is-ancestor`; falls back to `unknown` on missing
SHAs or command errors; excludes verdict fields from fingerprint v1
computation
- `server/src/services/instance-settings.ts` wires the new setting
through to the settings service
- Tests updated in `workspace-runtime.test.ts`,
`instance-settings-service.test.ts`, `instance-settings-routes.test.ts`,
and `instance.test.ts` (104 tests total)

## Verification

```bash
pnpm exec vitest run \
  server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts \
  server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts \
  packages/shared/src/validators/instance.test.ts
# 104 tests pass

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
# both exit 0
```

Manual: trigger a workspace incoherence event and confirm the evidence
object carries `ancestryVerdict` and `plainLanguageReason`; confirm the
fingerprint string stays `workspace_incoherence:v1:sha256:...`.

## Risks

**Low risk.** Purely additive. Fingerprint v1 payload is unchanged. The
new flag has no runtime effect in this PR. `git merge-base
--is-ancestor` exits non-zero for both "not an ancestor" and "command
error"; both are handled and collapsed to typed values with a prose
reason.

## Model Used

Provider: Anthropic, model: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`),
200k context, tool use enabled.

Devin Foley 765a75207a Add experimental server info debug view (#8676)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The dev/server UI exposes a `/api/health` endpoint and a lower-left
account drawer, but nothing surfaces *which* build the running instance
is on or when it last restarted
> - When iterating on a local dev instance it is hard to tell whether
the server you're looking at has actually restarted onto your latest
commit, or how stale the running process is
> - Developers need a lightweight, opt-in way to confirm the running
instance's identity without digging through logs or shelling into the
host
> - This pull request adds an experimental "Server Info Debug View"
setting that surfaces the running instance's last-restart time and
current commit as read-only rows in the account drawer
> - The benefit is a quick, in-UI sanity check of what the live server
is actually running, behind an experimental flag so it ships zero cost
to users who don't opt in

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists. Describing the underlying request inline
following the feature request template:

**Problem or motivation:**

When working against a local Paperclip dev instance there is no in-UI
way to confirm what the running server is — its current commit or when
it last restarted. You have to check logs or the host shell to know
whether the process picked up your latest build.

**Proposed solution:**

An opt-in experimental setting ("Server Info Debug View") that, once
enabled, renders a small read-only "Server" section at the bottom of the
lower-left account drawer showing **Last restarted** (the server process
start time) and **Running commit** (the current git HEAD short SHA +
subject).

**Alternatives considered:**

A separate top-right pill/overlay (like the work-life-balance plugin).
The account drawer was chosen to reuse existing menu-row styling and
avoid adding new always-present chrome.

**Roadmap alignment:**

Small, self-contained developer-experience aid gated behind an
experimental flag; does not overlap planned core roadmap work.

## What Changed

- Added `server/src/server-info.ts`: captures a `serverInfo` snapshot
once at boot — process start time and current git commit (SHA +
subject). Git is read via `execFileSync` with SHA validation and a
timeout.
- `/api/health` exposes the `serverInfo` snapshot, but only on
full-details health responses (board/agent in authenticated mode, or
local-trusted dev).
- Gated the UI surface behind a new `enableServerInfoDebugView`
experimental setting, wired through the shared instance type, validator,
settings normalizer, and OpenAPI schema.
- UI: added `SidebarServerInfo` rendering the read-only rows in the
account drawer (`BreadcrumbBar` / `SidebarAccountMenu`), plus the
experimental settings toggle and a typed `health` API client.
- Moved `ServerGitInfo` / `ServerInfoSnapshot` into
`@paperclipai/shared` so the server and UI share one definition instead
of duplicating it.
- Added unit tests for the server-info snapshot, health route exposure,
validator/normalizer, settings routes, the experimental settings page,
and the sidebar component.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/health.test.ts src/__tests__/server-info.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts` — 32 passed
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/SidebarServerInfo.test.tsx
src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx` — 9 passed
- `tsc --noEmit` on both `@paperclipai/server` and `@paperclipai/ui` —
clean
- Manual: enable **Settings → Experimental → Server Info Debug View**,
refresh the UI, open the lower-left account drawer — a "Server" section
shows Last restarted and Running commit.

## Risks

- Low risk. The UI surface is fully opt-in via an experimental flag and
defaults off.
- The `serverInfo` field on `/api/health` is access-controlled to
full-details responses only (board/agent in authenticated mode, or
local-trusted dev) — never anonymous authenticated callers — so the git
SHA is not broadly exposed.
- The only new server work is a one-time git read at boot, guarded with
SHA validation and a timeout; failures degrade gracefully (the git block
reports `available: false` rather than throwing).
