DottaandPaperclip fc3b15537b fix(runner): match call_api to existing agent REST permissions (#16040)
Route native call_api through existing agent REST permissions. Preserve admitted credentials across restarts, protect sensitive replies and private snapshots, and compare saved completion with provider history through the same redaction projection. Add permission, privacy and recovery regressions and update the access map and run-log guide.

DottaandPaperclip 1e0cfcb4fc test: retire redundant suites and consolidate owner coverage (#15978)
Retire duplicate ACPX and Codex proof after migrating unique assertions to their behavioral owners. Consolidate repeated fixtures and exact case matrices while preserving lifecycle, protocol, company, credential, approval, and ordering contracts. Remove the unused runtime-controls compatibility path and document test ownership and preservation evidence.

DottaandPaperclip 018993140f feat: let agents name prompt-only tasks (#14761)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users create tasks with a title and a description.
> - A required title adds work when the prompt already explains the
request.
> - An agent can name the task once it reads that request.
> - This pull request accepts prompt-only tasks and starts them with a
short prompt slice.
> - A scoped title tool lets the assigned agent replace that slice early
without changing execution state.
> - A live browser eval checks the real agent call, saved title, audit
entry, and preservation of user titles.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: task creation, shared contracts, database, server, runner
tools, and board UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Users must currently write a title before they can submit a detailed
task prompt. The agent has enough context to write a useful title
itself.

**Proposed solution**

Make the title optional when a description is present. Save the first
120 characters of the normalized prompt as a provisional title. Ask the
assigned agent to call `set_task_title` early. Use an atomic
provisional-title guard to preserve titles supplied or edited by users.
Keep explicit titles supported.

Related: #14543 and #14556 concern empty-title submission. This change
intentionally enables that submission when a prompt is present, instead
of requiring a title.

## What Changed

- Add the `titleNeedsGeneration` field with an idempotent migration.
Keep existing titles unchanged.
- Add `PUT /api/issues/:id/title` and the native and legacy
`set_task_title` tool. Enforce company access, active-run ownership,
shared, bounded retry receipts across native/HTTP calls, and
transactional audit logging. Refresh external-object links after commit,
with the same feature gate and plugin detectors as ordinary title edits.
- Add early naming guidance in Standard, Ask, and Plan task context.
Preserve the description, status, and assignment.
- Allow prompt-only root and child task creation, plus draft restoration
in the New Task dialog. Keep user titles supported.
- Add an opt-in Product E2E suite for prompt-only Standard and Ask
tasks, plus an explicit-title control. It checks actual provider calls
within the first five tools, persisted state, audit attribution, and the
reloaded UI.
- Preserve a closed vocabulary of API key maintenance phrases in
declared prose while rejecting opaque credential suffixes. Add one
bounded naming retry after wording is rejected, without treating the
rejected call as a saved title.
- Repair the native cleanup receipt check exposed during full
verification: accept matching input digests, retain legacy input checks,
and reject conflicting receipts.

## Verification

- Live Product E2E on `f43478473800e3a46b85c5ee79677efdb15108e7`: **3/3
passed** with native Codex `gpt-5.4-mini`, first attempts only,
automatic retries disabled. Standard and Ask each saved “Rotate expired
API key” on their first tool call, with matching persisted state and a
single same-run audit entry. The explicit-title control retained its
user title with zero title writes. All three verified the reloaded
browser UI.
- Campaign: `local-2026-09-30T21-30-11-021Z`. Earlier failed campaigns
are retained separately; they exposed credential-prose handling and
prompted the naming recovery fix. No failed result was regraded or
deleted.
- Reproduce with `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --id
task-titles.runner-codex-mini.local.prompt-title-standard --id
task-titles.runner-codex-mini.local.prompt-title-ask --id
task-titles.runner-codex-mini.local.preserve-explicit-title
--max-automatic-retries 0` and an authorized provider key.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on the latest commit.
The runner build used the configured external eval source tree.
- Product E2E unit suite: **61 files, 818 tests passed**; E2E typecheck
and UI token gates passed.
- Title API/native regressions cover prompt-only and explicit child
creation, user edits, ownership/company isolation, external reference
refresh, cross-surface retry replay, and the 64-key limit without
receipt eviction. All passed. Prompt-context coverage: **44 tests
passed**.
- Rust credential regressions: **35 tests passed**, including benign
maintenance qualifiers and opaque credential rejection in every declared
prose field. Catalog/report reconciliation: **28 tests passed**. Native
recovery: **560 tests passed**.
- Broad local `pnpm test:run`: **14,555 tests passed** in the general
server group; two suites failed to initialize embedded PostgreSQL and
the existing 40,000-file Git streaming stress test exceeded its
300-second macOS timeout. All three suites then passed in isolation (**5
tests passed**) without code or timeout changes. The original full local
command exited nonzero and is not being represented as a clean full run.
- Latest-head GitHub checks are green: **53 passed, 4 skipped, zero
failed or pending**, including all test shards and the canary packaging
dry run. Greptile reviewed the same commit at **5/5**, with zero
unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- The additive database field must reach the server and UI together. The
migration uses `IF NOT EXISTS` and defaults existing tasks to a final
title.
- Title generation depends on the assigned agent running. Tasks without
a run keep their provisional title.
- Live qualification covers the native Codex path in Standard and Ask
modes. API/legacy and Plan behavior have deterministic coverage.
- The credential-prose exception validates the entire suffix against a
closed maintenance vocabulary. Unknown suffixes, assignments, quoted
values, credential prefixes, and diagnostics retain strict checks.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact deployment ID and context window are not exposed in
this session. The live eval uses the native Codex `gpt-5.4-mini`
profile.

DottaandPaperclip 3c561642b4 fix(chat): resolve approvals and preserve unanswered questions (#14613)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents ask for decisions and optional details through cards in chat.
> - A clear approval in a message can leave the matching card pending.
> - An unanswered question can also block an unrelated later reply.
> - Decisions need a saved source message, while optional questions need
to remain answerable in history.
> - This pull request records conversational decisions and lets users
move on from questions and answer them later.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native Claude and Codex could act on approval in chat while the original
approval card stayed pending. Pending question forms stayed above the
composer, were absent from history, and could suppress later chat
replies. A late native question answer could wait for a finished run to
reconnect.

**Expected behavior**

The active agent records a clear approval or refusal against the exact
card and user message. Ambiguous replies do not grant consent. Users can
send another message without answering a question. The question remains
pending in history and can be reopened and answered later. The saved
answer reaches the agent.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask an agent to propose work with a confirmation card, then approve
it in chat.
2. Check that the original card records that approval before work
starts.
3. Ask an interactive question, send an unrelated message, and reload.
4. Open the unanswered question from history and submit an answer.

Related work: #14408 added completion delivery. #14607 tests completion
reporting turns. Neither records conversational answers on approval
cards.

## What Changed

- Add a confirmation endpoint backed by a user comment, with schema
validation, OpenAPI discovery, and native Plan-mode access. Ask mode
remains read-only.
- Check company, active run, actor, current session, message provenance,
revision, and resolver policy. Save the decision and audit in one
transaction. Retries do not repeat effects. Emit resolution telemetry
after commit.
- Give fresh and resumed chat turns the actual pending confirmation
identities. Teach agents to save clear conversational decisions before
acting and to clarify ambiguity.
- Keep unanswered Agent Chat questions as compact history entries. A
newer user message closes the old form. Question cards never contribute
to composer pending counts or navigation, including after dismissing a
fresh form. The history card is the sole reminder; clicking it restores
that exact form and draft.
- Preserve Agent Chat questions when later messages or questions arrive.
Historical ordinary inputs no longer gate later chat replies.
Current-run requests, task execution, and governed approvals keep their
gates. Remove the special acknowledgement-publication proof helpers that
this rule replaces.
- Route answers to finished native runs through durable fresh-wake
delivery, with existing idempotency and source-question context. Settle
late replies against contiguous completed conversation turns and freeze
their history replay; failed, unhandled, and newly arriving messages
remain actionable.
- Add real-component Storybook scenarios, database and UI regressions,
and a three-turn native Claude/Codex E2E case. Capture distinct,
UI-ready screenshots and report the individual assertions.

## Verification

- Focused decision/publication/UI regressions after merging master: 288
passed; subsequent UI draft, failed-send, and conversation checks: 199
passed.
- Native question and durable delivery regressions: 106 passed,
including all four terminal run states and exactly-once late delivery.
Seven targeted regressions fail against the original implementation and
pass with the fix.
- Latest conversation/decision/native-delivery regressions after the
master merge: 121 passed. Covers completed progress, missing or failed
intervening turns, new messages during a late reply, stale sessions, and
frozen retry/replay boundaries. Four new assertions fail before the
ordering fix.
- E2E support suite after the master merge: 792 passed. Negative
controls reject expired cards, wrong questions/answers, stale or missing
replies, unrelated clarification forms, and unexpected tasks.
- The embedded-browser walkthrough caught one additional defect:
dismissing a fresh question still showed a composer badge. Both Cancel
and close-button regressions failed before the fix. The fix at
`65f2ade12` passes 170 chat-thread tests and 792 E2E support tests.
After merging master, 232 chat-thread/confirmation tests, server/UI
typechecks, and token gates pass. The preview and two-provider live E2E
pass at `e5512a206`; Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads at
that commit. All 55 checks are now successful at `e5512a206` (four
conditional checks skipped), including the aggregate verification gate
and clean-install canary test. The first attempt was interrupted by
simultaneous CI worker shutdowns; one failed-job rerun passed without
code changes.
- [Published
Storybook](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/storybook/branches/codex~2Fchat-approval-resolution/?path=/story/chat-comments-agent-chat-unanswered-questions--moved-on):
nine real-component scenarios. Manually exercised move on, reopen,
preserve draft, answer later, answer one of multiple questions, and a
custom mobile answer in the embedded browser. Retested fresh Cancel and
close-button dismissal in the updated build, then reopened and submitted
the preserved Green selection and inspected its answered receipt. Static
preview has no live model/backend; its callbacks are fixture responses.
- [First live
campaign](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36714504406-1/)
reproduced the late-answer completion-state defect on both providers
despite correct saved answers and acknowledgements. It also exposed a
valid imperative clarification rejected by the old oracle. Both issues
are fixed with regression controls; this failing run is retained as
evidence.
- [Four-cell
qualification](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36717804064-1/)
passed 4/4 at `2bf8a1009`: unanswered-question return and ambiguous
confirmation, each on native Claude and Codex. Inspected saved state,
source-message decisions, visible cards, and agent replies. Both
late-answer chats settled to waiting; no unrequested tasks were created.
[Final branch
rerun](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36719666238-1/)
passed 2/2 at `142630720`: the same unanswered-question journey after
merging master, plus an additional screenshot and browser assertion for
the actual late-answer acknowledgement.
- [Composer-reminder
E2E](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36727006818-1/)
passed 2/2 at `5b62c52d9`: native Claude and Codex, three turns each,
with explicit no-badge assertions before and after reload. Inspected
saved pending/answered state, both screenshots with a clear composer,
and actual Blue acknowledgements; all five behavioral matchers passed
per provider and neither created tasks. Cost coverage is partial; this
is bounded workflow qualification.
- [Fresh-dismissal
E2E](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36742773318-1/)
passed 2/2 at `e5512a206`: native Claude and Codex, including fresh
Cancel, clear composer, reopen, unrelated message, reload, late Blue
answer, and actual agent acknowledgement. All five behavioral matchers
pass per provider. Inspected the fresh-dismissal screenshots and saved
pending/answered identity; neither created tasks. Cost coverage is
partial (4/6 runs).
- Prior evidence remains available in [the earlier
campaign](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36642252725-1/).
Its early loading screenshot and overwritten final capture prompted the
UI-ready, distinct screenshot fixes.

## Risks

- The model interprets intent. The server verifies permission and
provenance; it does not infer consent from text. Ambiguous and unrelated
replies are not approvals.
- Historical questions can accumulate. They remain visible, pending, and
answerable; no automatic answer or expiry is invented.
- The change to completion gates is scoped to Agent Chat and ordinary
historical inputs. Current-turn and governed approvals retain their
existing controls.
- Live qualification is limited to the selected stories. Broader native
onboarding finalization remains separate work.
- No database migration. Telemetry adds no fields or values; the
contract and README document the commit boundary. Privacy review was
requested on the PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser-test orchestration. The exact model ID and
context-window size are not exposed to this session.

DottaandFry 3ca196b0a6 feat(agents): persist agent files across tasks without revision history (#14420)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An agent needs personal files across tasks and sessions.
> - AGENTS.md is one file in that directory. Supporting files need the
same persistence.
> - The Instructions Editor and agent runs must share one current
directory.
> - Concurrent runs should apply only the files they change. The last
sync of the same file wins.
> - This pull request uses existing file transport and removes temporary
copies after sync.
> - Old instruction-only sessions keep their restore contract. New saves
do not create revision history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14325. This replaces its revision-oriented design with persistent
agent files. Keep #14325 unmerged.

Transport prerequisite #14416 merged first at
`d172197117a14b80a1eb2d2835a0e7cce2679656`. This PR now targets master
and remains below 100 changed files.

Related work: #4513 and #8798 cover instruction tooling. This change
handles run synchronization, cross-task personal files, browser editing,
and old-session restoration.

## What Changed

- Keep one current directory per company and agent. Point AGENT_HOME at
a temporary working copy for each active run. Keep task files and
provider HOME separate.
- Restore text, binary files, and nested folders through workspace
transport. Exclude remote agent files from task Git snapshots with a
self-ignoring file inside the reserved runtime directory; never write
through repository-controlled Git metadata.
- Collect after the provider and child processes have stopped. Keep
resumable conversation state.
- Apply changed and deleted files under the agent lock. The last sync
wins for the same file. Unrelated concurrent changes survive.
- Remove temporary copies after successful sync, rejected sync, and
staging failure. Register ownership before copying so restart recovery
can remove interrupted preparation. Retry transient synchronization up
to three times. Preserve the original remote lease reference until
deletion succeeds; restart cleanup never acquires a replacement sandbox.
Do not create captured directories or a conflict-review queue for new
runs.
- Keep browser editing, stale-draft protection, and streaming binary
downloads. Keep the instruction entry and text editor limited to 1 MiB.
- Keep historical agent-folder sync failures on their affected runs
instead of repeating them above current saved instructions. Preserve
legacy candidate review and current browser-save errors. Avoid duplicate
quota warnings while retaining separate sync failures when they describe
a different problem.
- Require target-scoped caller grants for peer instruction access, while
preserving self edits, responsible-user checks, and protected-change
consent.
- Treat full storage as a nonblocking run warning, never an agent pause
or run-admission failure. Restore already-over-quota saved folders so
ordinary agent cleanup can recover; warn on each run until cleanup. The
run detail view shows the warning.
- Allow 256 MiB per file, 2 GiB per directory, and 100,000 entries. Hash
large files as streams. Check editor-save quotas with metadata instead
of hashing unrelated files.
- Preserve old native inputs, instruction-only copies, paths, digests,
and pending legacy candidates. Adopt old revision heads once. New writes
do not append history rows.
- Add idempotent migration 0287 and verify upgrades from the preview
tables and receipts.
- Add nine interactive stories under **Agents / Persistent files**,
including automatic incoming edits, stale browser drafts, and
storage-limit diagnostics.

## Verification

- Merge candidate: `4f5390107ec6ffd80a76d1d2e85530e66f21d079`, after
merging current master and the landed transport prerequisite.
Integration required no manual conflict resolution; the feature remains
99 changed files. Full workspace typecheck, production build, token
gates, and 715 focused tests passed on this merge candidate. Fresh
Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. All 55 checks
passed, with four conditional skips, including the build, typecheck,
browser E2E, and canary dry run. A single retry recovered four jobs
interrupted by runner shutdowns; no source changes were required.
- Historical-warning UI fix: all 6,834 UI tests across 640 files passed,
including regression coverage for three old failures, legacy preserved
edits, and warnings scoped to the affected run. Full workspace
typecheck, production build, Storybook build, and token gates passed.
Browser-verified Storybook playtests passed for Historical Failures
After Successful Save, Storage Limit, and Full Storage Run Warning.
- Review follow-ups at `4e20c9fb2`: all 18 focused tests passed,
including external Git directories, linked worktrees, symlinks,
hardlinks, and distinct I/O failures alongside storage warnings. Server
and UI typechecks, token gates, and the production build passed.
- Storage warning regressions at `0724f3012`: all 33 directory tests and
all five heartbeat-list tests passed, with no skips in their successful
runs. They cover repeated runs while full, an already-over-quota saved
folder, cleanup, warnings retained after unrelated save failures, and
bounded warnings in large result JSON. Server typecheck passed after the
final warning fixes.
- Full workspace typecheck, production build, and token gates passed
during this follow-up. Product E2E harness: 631 tests passed across 52
files; harness typecheck passed. Earlier native session/context and
directory/legacy collection suites passed 537 tests; Runner
unit/transport suites passed 329 tests.
- **Real E2E at `0724f3012` (before this follow-up):** legacy local
Codex and native Daytona Codex each passed six tasks, one server
restart, seven independent assertions, and cleanup verification. Both
prove browser-to-agent edits, agent-to-browser edits, nested/binary
restoration, per-file last-sync-wins, a successful run after an
oversized save rejection, and cleanup clearing the warning.
- Native local Codex also passed the six-task quota flow before the
final warning-retention fixes. That pass began at `918d1ed02` while the
bounded-result warning fix was being edited, so it is not claimed as
exact-final-head evidence. Its final-head rerun failed during embedded
PostgreSQL bootstrap before any provider run: the macOS host had 87,365
of 87,381 SysV semaphores occupied. No unrelated services or kernel
limits were changed.
- The final-source report intentionally records **2/3 cells passed**,
preserving the blocked native-local attempt:
`tests/runner-e2e/results/agent-files-quota-final-20260928-report/`.
Earlier failed attempts and provenance notes remain under
`tests/runner-e2e/results/agent-files-quota-final-20260928-input/` and
the original campaign directories.
- Daytona used immutable image
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:5643f0d801417cae3581833a1a3bc6715b325e028602738d2652c44cac5dc6bf`
and its exact Linux runner binary. Controller source is `0724f3012`;
image source is recorded separately.
- Legacy-session compatibility and all three ACP Stop/resume browser
regressions passed on the prior validated feature head
`169fab46d5af21caa2269b4c1b29b69c933a6951`. They assert the same
provider session is retained and interrupted writes are not replayed.
Migration upgrade tests also passed earlier.
- Nine interactive stories are under **Agents / Persistent files**,
including **Full Storage Run Warning**. Its playtest and visual browser
inspection passed; the warning states that runs continue and the editor
remains available.
- Prior-head checks on `4e20c9fb2`: 55 passed, two conditional jobs
skipped, no failures or pending checks. All eight browser E2E shards and
their aggregate passed. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no findings;
all review threads are resolved, the security scan passed, and GitHub
reports no merge conflicts.
- The broad local follow-up test run was interrupted after host
semaphore exhaustion affected isolated PostgreSQL instances. It also
encountered the existing macOS long-path fixture failure and two timeout
failures. This is not a claim that the full local suite passed. Logs are
retained; focused storage/warning tests passed.

## Risks

- A later sync can overwrite an earlier edit to the same file, including
a saved browser edit. There is no text merge or retained version. This
is the intended last-sync-wins policy.
- A save that exceeds a storage limit is rejected and its temporary copy
is discarded. The run itself continues normally, and later runs restore
the last saved files with a warning until cleanup. Transient sync
failures get bounded retries. An I/O failure partway through a sync can
leave some files updated; a failed receipt does not claim whole-folder
success.
- Larger folders increase copy time, network traffic, and temporary disk
usage. Active runs still need working copies. Terminal runs do not
accumulate archives. Operators must provision disk for agents and
configured concurrency; these limits are not company-wide quotas.
- A restored old native session remains instruction-only until a fresh
session starts. Its original conflict fence and existing pending
candidates remain compatible.
- Provider processes close at the collection boundary. Conversation
resume remains available, but warm process reuse is lost.
- Backups must include the instance filesystem and database. External
bundles keep their existing behavior until explicitly moved to managed
storage.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
model ID or context-window size. Reasoning, code execution, and browser
tools assisted this change. Real provider E2E uses `gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip 3447609d22 fix(runner): stream and page large API responses within capture budgets (#14301)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use governed API tools to inspect task evidence.
> - Large API results become saved assets with short previews.
> - Reading an asset through the same tool used to create another asset,
so the agent could not reach the rest of the evidence.
> - The 10 MiB response cap also blocked useful large results. Removing
all bounds allowed excessive disk use.
> - This pull request streams responses up to 1 GiB and makes saved text
readable in bounded pages. It adds durable run budgets and capture
admission limits.
> - Agents can inspect complete evidence while tool results, memory use,
and capture work stay bounded.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
A large response became an asset. Reading that asset returned another
asset and the same preview. Responses above 10 MiB failed before the
agent could read any page.

**Expected behavior**
The agent can fetch a large response and read its saved text to EOF.
Each page stays bounded. New snapshots have a generous finite limit and
a durable run budget. Existing larger assets remain readable through
byte ranges.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Call a GET operation that returns more than 10 MiB of text or JSON.
2. Before the fix, the tool returns `api_transport_failure`.
3. With this change, responses up to 1 GiB become streamed snapshots
with artifact references.
4. Read `GET /api/assets/{assetId}/content` with `responseText:
{offsetBytes: 0, limitBytes: 8192}`. Follow `nextOffsetBytes` until
null.

Related work: #14186 added the API fallback tools. #14218 bounded API
discovery.

## What Changed

- Add authenticated UTF-8 text windows to `call_api`, with byte offsets
and total size. Keep each page at or below 24 KiB.
- Stream new responses above 24 KiB through private temporary files into
company-owned assets. Bound each capture to 1 GiB of decoded bytes.
Reject oversized declared lengths before reading and count streamed
bytes before writing.
- Reserve capture budget in the run record before spilling. Allow 4 GiB
per run. Settle successful captures to their actual size. Failed or
interrupted captures retain their full 1 GiB reservation. Run restarts
do not reset the budget.
- Enforce a 20 GiB company snapshot quota with database reservations.
Count legacy snapshots and unfinished storage work across runs and
processes. Asset deletion frees quota.
- Limit large captures to two per company and four per server process.
Hold slots through storage upload and temporary-file cleanup. Use a
10-minute download deadline and 30-second connection/idle-read timeouts.
- Return explicit size, budget, busy, and timeout errors. Preserve
unknown outcomes for mutations whose response cannot be captured.
- Read saved assets through authenticated storage ranges, with at most
two extra bytes for UTF-8 and EOF handling. Unpaged reads return the
existing asset and digest with a bounded preview. Reads create no copies
and do not consume capture budget.
- Keep existing assets above 1 GiB readable in pages. Use safe integer
offsets and PostgreSQL `bigint` asset sizes.
- Stream large S3 uploads through ordered multipart requests. Abort
failed uploads and remove partial local files.
- Revalidate run authority during downloads. Keep company authorization,
GET-only text paging, redirect denial, and mutation replay receipts.
- Document the separate 10 MiB upload limits. This PR does not raise
memory-buffered attachment ingestion limits. Future large video uploads
need streamed ingestion and storage quotas.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass after
rebasing on master.
- Focused API and response tests: 1,761 pass. Cover declared and chunked
oversize responses, incorrect Content-Length, exact-limit success,
active-stream deadline, cancellation, cleanup, concurrency admission,
and mutation outcome handling.
- Real HTTP integration: 28 tests pass, including runnerd → PRP →
authority → HTTP, a 12 MiB snapshot, final-page/EOF reads, cross-company
denial, a persisted 3 GiB sparse asset, and large mutation receipt
replay.
- The HTTP suite verifies durable run-budget accounting, simultaneous
runs competing for company quota, legacy snapshot accounting, deletion
refunds, failed-storage reservations, cleaned-failure refunds,
metadata-rollback cleanup refunds, preservation after a lost commit
acknowledgement, and small/saved reads after capture-budget exhaustion.
- A standalone proof streams exactly 1 GiB through the production
capture helper, verifies the final bytes, and removes its temporary
file. It uses repeated 256 KiB chunks and records a peak process RSS of
191 MiB.
- Earlier storage verification covers exact S3 multipart boundaries,
cleanup/abort failures, and a 17 MiB transfer through the real AWS SDK
to a local HTTP S3 endpoint. No cloud S3 qualification was run for this
follow-up.
- The local full test run was interrupted for the company-quota changes.
A later targeted run hit exhausted macOS shared-memory slots before
tests started; two unattached PostgreSQL segments with dead owners were
reclaimed before retrying. All 55 current-head checks pass at
`aebb80ceeeee77d5a56b67bfffd835f2f846878c`, including the full CI test
suite, typecheck, build, browser suites, security scan, and Greptile
(5/5). There are no unresolved review threads. The combined rebased test
catalog also passes (48 tests).
- Earlier paging acceptance passed Daytona and separate staging at
`7739879e9`. Those runs predate the streaming and budget changes.

## Risks

- The 1 GiB response cap and 10-minute active-download deadline are
intentional product limits. Larger live results must use endpoint
pagination or a direct file workflow. Existing larger assets remain
readable through bounded ranges.
- A durable 20 GiB company snapshot quota counts stored runner-api
assets and active/orphan reservations across runs and processes. The
operator can set PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_API_COMPANY_CAPTURE_MAX_BYTES to a
finite value of at least 1 GiB. Deleting snapshots frees capacity;
possible orphan storage must be reconciled before releasing its
reservation.
- A failed capture uses its full reservation. A new large capture needs
a full 1 GiB available, even if it later completes at a smaller size.
Small reads and existing asset pages remain available.
- Concurrency limits apply per server process. The run byte budget is
shared through the database.
- The `integer` to `bigint` migration rewrites asset metadata and takes
an exclusive table lock. File bytes stay in storage.
- A live endpoint is fetched once before returning its snapshot.
Continue reading the saved artifact for stable pages. Mutations may
commit before any size or transport error; inspect state before
retrying.
- Attachment uploads and native file handoffs still default to 10 MiB.
Raising buffered ingestion paths to GiB sizes is separate work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The runtime does not expose an exact serving model variant or
context-window size. The earlier paging work also used browser testing
and subagents.

DottaandPaperclip 7944ed3d97 fix(runner): preserve hire runtime safety and first-activity timing (#13852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for companies of AI
agents.
> - Native runner agents need governed tools, durable runtime state, and
useful execution evidence.
> - A first activity trace waited 53.467 seconds even though tool
activity took 6.274 seconds; provider input arrived before the server
API call executed.
> - Native agents also need a safe way to hire teammates without asking
the model to rebuild runtime configuration.
> - This pull request separates the observed ACP input-stream window
from the actual server `tool.execute` span and adds a server-owned
native hire contract.
> - The benefit is clearer latency evidence and safer native teammates
with existing approval, auth, and company boundaries preserved.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related Daytona provenance work is in
[#13814](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13814). No
duplicate public PR was found for this combined timing and native-hire
change.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native runner agents can use governed tools and request hires. The
server did not expose a safe native hire operation that reused the
caller's validated runtime settings. First-activity traces also mixed
provider input timing with server tool execution timing.

**Current behavior**

A native hire must construct a separate runner configuration. Full
configuration copying could expose paths, instructions, secrets, or
sessions. Timing evidence could make a provider or MCP identity join
appear proven when the trace did not contain that join.

**Proposed behavior**

The native `hire_agent` operation accepts identity and persona inputs.
The server sends `adapterType: "paperclip_runner"` with
`inheritRuntimeFrom: "caller"`, then copies only validated provider,
model, permission, lifecycle, and bounded execution settings. It
inherits and validates the default environment, derives the managed AI
binding through existing normalization, preserves approval and
permissions, and creates fresh child instructions. Caller secrets,
paths, prompts, and sessions are excluded.

Provider events now include the optional boolean `inputUpdated`, with
Rust forwarding support. Timing evidence separately records the ACP
input-stream window and the actual server `tool.execute` activity. It
does not claim a provider or MCP join without matching evidence.

**Reason and benefit**

Native agents can hire teammates that start with the caller's approved
execution policy. Operators retain company boundaries, auth rules,
approval gates, and requalification. Reviewers can distinguish provider
streaming time from server API execution time when diagnosing
first-activity delays.

**Breaking changes**

None for existing hires or tool calls. `inheritRuntimeFrom` is optional
and only applies to same-company native agent callers. Conflicting
explicit runtime settings are rejected. The provider event field is
optional for existing producers.

## What Changed

- Added the native `hire_agent` protocol action, catalog entry, API
contract, and runner authority checks.
- Added `inheritRuntimeFrom: "caller"` validation and a closed native
runtime inheritance allowlist.
- Preserved managed AI binding normalization, default-environment
validation, approval snapshots, permissions, requalification, and fresh
child instructions.
- Added provider `inputUpdated` schema support and Rust forwarding.
- Added first-activity and server tool timing evidence with conservative
identity-join handling.
- Added route, authority, provider-event, sidecar, API, catalog, and
Rust-focused tests.
- Kept private Honeycomb links, raw traces, and local result paths out
of this description.

## Verification

Focused checks passed:

- 458 timing/session checks.
- 61 native hire inheritance checks.
- 20 hire authority checks.
- 1,741 API checks.
- 106 catalog checks.
- 54 provider sidecar checks.
- 12 Rust provider checks.

Live R2 and R3 each passed 45 checks across 6 runs (361,135 ms for R2).
R1 stopped at missing Docker image setup. The final trace is available
at
https://ui.honeycomb.io/paperclip/environments/test/datasets/paperclip/result/BiMypLNvmiB?tab=traces.
Latest-head CI passed all required build, typecheck, Rust, static,
Vitest, serialized-server, workspace, chat, and E2E jobs. The focused
local checks listed above passed; the broad local suite was not run
before the live evaluation, while CI provides the full repository
verification.

## Risks

- Timing fields describe separate observed windows. They do not prove a
provider or MCP owner without a valid trace join.
- The inheritance allowlist must stay synchronized with native runner
configuration fields.
- Approval snapshots include resolved safe inherited settings and should
be reviewed when native configuration fields change.
- The focused local suite is narrower than the full repository suite;
latest-head CI covers the broader repository checks.

> Roadmap review: `ROADMAP.md` places this work within Paperclip's
bring-your-own-agent direction. It extends existing native runner hiring
and observability behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (exact serving model ID is not exposed), with extended
reasoning and repository tool use; GPT-5.6 Luna assisted with focused
implementation and verification work.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Risks

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

DottaandPaperclip 5bddff0920 feat(runner): add guarded API search and call fallback (#13003)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The new runner gives agents dedicated tools for common tasks.
> - Some API operations and parameters have no dedicated tool.
> - Agents need a controlled way to find and use those operations.
> - This pull request adds API search and calls through the real server
routes.
> - Existing tools remain the preferred path. The new tools are disabled
by default.
> - Paired tests measure correctness, tool choice, cost and time.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Paperclip Runner contracts, production tool authority and the server API
catalog.

**Problem or motivation**

The runner cannot use much of the API described by the old Paperclip
skill. A generic HTTP client would also let agents bypass runner control
rules.

**Proposed solution**

Add `search_api` and `call_api`. Resolve calls from the mounted API
catalog. Use server-held, run-bound credentials. Preserve route checks
and runner lifecycle rules. Keep the tools disabled until an operator
enables selected companies.

**Alternatives considered**

A dedicated tool for every endpoint would add a large initial prompt. An
unrestricted HTTP tool would weaken authorization and replay controls.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the native runner tooling. The repository owner requested
this design and implementation. The roadmap and related open PRs were
checked. No duplicate API escape-hatch PR was found.

## What Changed

- Register two compact fallback tools in canonical contracts and
provider projections.
- Build deterministic API discovery from OpenAPI, mounted experimental
routes and the old skill reference.
- Execute bounded JSON, text, file and download requests through
authenticated HTTP routes.
- Recheck active runs, company access and work modes. Block runner
lifecycle, scheduling, credential and approval bypasses. Keep routine
annotation collaboration available.
- Retain mutation receipts. Report uncertain outcomes without blindly
repeating writes.
- Add a company rollout gate and a durable eval worker with complete
cost accounting checks.
- Record child-task creation in the activity log with the agent and run.
- Add contract, authorization, file, replay and real runnerd/PRP/HTTP
tests.
- Document rollout gates and paid coverage limits. The companion eval
repository retains immutable attempts and reports.

## Verification

- Final app commit `da58370524c3626a744eec20164397c5fb6ba9ef`: all 32
checks passed; the unrelated Storybook visual check was skipped.
Greptile 5/5; no unresolved review threads.

- Full Linux build and recursive typecheck passed. Repository tests were
run by project and serialized shard; all 143 serialized server suites
passed.
- Runner TypeScript: 1,599 passed, two skipped. Rust release: 451
passing test reports. Conformance and replay parity passed. The required
API check passed 837 tests, including runnerd → PRP → authority → real
HTTP.
- Bindings cannot enable API tools without the explicit deployment flag.
Unit and real-authority tests prove the default-off boundary.
- The standalone API check builds and stages its own binary. It passed
after existing staged and debug binaries were removed from the test
container.
- UI and CLI tests passed. Initial environment failures (missing jq,
Docker overlay file identity, and parallel linker memory pressure) and
focused passing reruns are retained. The macOS full runner suite has
platform-specific failures; Linux is the qualified full-check platform.
- Eval harness: 27 tests passed; existing CI discovery ran 86 tests with
two unrelated skips. Credential export rejection is tested against the
actual report command.
- Luna and OpenRouter Sonnet each passed 60 common-workflow runs: ten
workflows, three repetitions per arm, zero unnecessary API fallback.
- Sonnet passed 11 selected capability/contract cases after fixes.
Gemini passed three smoke cases. DeepSeek exceeded the 120-second limit
and remains unqualified.
- Luna's two cost flags received focused follow-up. The original flags
and a later n=1 latency flag remain visible. Sonnet had no cost or
latency increase above 20%.
- The catalog contains 785 entries; 58 were exercised across all stages.
Most operation probes remain unrun and some need additional fixtures.
Authored probes do not establish successful coverage.
- Total conservative accounted cost: $9.875960. Active paid-campaign
time: 88.16/90 minutes. No missing accounting. Later security and
harness fixes have provider-free verification; no paid validation is
claimed for those revisions.
- Inspect the [qualification
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/codex/seach-call-api-tools/evals/runner-api-tools/reports/2026-09-07-production/READINESS.md)
and [verification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/codex/seach-call-api-tools/evals/runner-api-tools/reports/2026-09-07-production/verification.json).

## Risks

- This is a broad authenticated API surface. Keep the default-off gate
until an operator selects initial rollout companies.
- Paid coverage is incomplete. Small regression samples do not prove all
workflows are unchanged.
- A timeout or server failure can follow a committed mutation. The
result reports an unknown outcome and requires state inspection.
- The new definitions add prompt tokens. The report retains cost flags
and cache variation.
- No database migration is required.
- Repository rules require code-owner approval before merge. Technical
CI and automated review are complete.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6 assisted with code, tests and review. The
exact serving model ID and context window are not exposed in this
session. It used reasoning, tool calls and code execution.

Eval models: `gpt-5.6-luna` with low reasoning,
`openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`,
`openrouter/google/gemini-3.8-flash`, and
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. Attempts retain runtime
versions, model identity, usage and source provenance.
