DottaandPaperclip cb291bf129 Fix Dot Cloud invitation and anonymous consent setup (#15722)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Dot joins through a public MCP connection and the Runner task
system.
> - A new hire must connect before its lifecycle can become ready.
> - The invite UI treated the hire's temporary paused status as a manual
pause.
> - Anonymous Cloud consent also reloaded after protected background
probes returned 401.
> - This pull request fixes both gates without changing server access
checks.
> - The benefit is that a new Dot can complete Cloud setup and the UI
waits for actual readiness.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related merged work: #15691 and #15581. I searched open Dot PR and issue
titles. I found no duplicate.

**What happened?**
A new Dot invite displayed “Resume this agent before connecting Dot.”
The hire was preparing or verifying. The anonymous Cloud consent page
remained on “Loading connection request…” because background
tenant-session failures caused repeated document reloads.

**Expected behavior**
The invite must issue a setup prompt when the server permits connection
setup. Public Dot consent must load without a board session. The Done
button must wait for both the binding and agent lifecycle to become
ready.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable Dot, Assistant connections (MCP), and the native Runner on a
Cloud test tenant.
2. Choose New Agent, Invite an external agent, then Dot.
3. Observe the false resume gate on the new hire.
4. Open the plugin's public Dot consent page in a browser without a
tenant board session.
5. Observe the loading loop after a protected background probe returns
`tenant_session_required`.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `556daf9a99e8674f9c4a1c38ac20ae9adafdd417`.

**Deployment mode**
Cloud staging with a managed Daytona Runner. No production tenant
changes.

## What Changed

- Return lifecycle state and connection setup authority in the operator
Dot binding response.
- Use that authority to prepare prompts during hire preparation and
verification.
- Continue polling after event readiness until the agent lifecycle is
ready.
- Keep expected tenant-session failures from reloading an exact public
Dot consent route.
- Classify Dot consent as a global route. Retain board session and
archived-stack recovery.
- Add regression tests and update the Dot deployment documentation.

## Verification

- Before the fix, regression tests reproduced the false pairing gate and
anonymous consent reload.
- After the fix, 34 Dot invitation tests and 51 public consent/API/route
tests passed before rebasing.
- Full workspace typecheck, full build, final UI typecheck, and design
token gates passed locally. All current-head CI gates are green,
including full tests and browser E2E.
- The final UI regression run passed 80 tests. The broad local test run
has reported failures in unchanged chat, OAuth-tool-access, and
native-resume suites while running alongside other development
instances; the equivalent isolated CI lanes passed. The broad local run
was stopped after these failures to release local resources; it is not
claimed as passing.
- Live Cloud qualification passed OAuth discovery, the approved agent
grant, ChatGPT account handoff, a signed event subscription, and the
inbox readiness challenge. The agent became ready and normal scheduling
launched the managed Runner. A real Dot accepted the task, read its
context, wrote and verified a document, posted a comment, and completed
through paperclip_finish and paperclip_dot_finish. The task persisted as
Done after reload, and the successful turn's sandbox was destroyed with
a successful cleanup receipt.
- Restarting the existing Dot refreshed its newly installed plugin
actions. The first Daytona allocation remained creating and hit the
acquisition deadline; a bounded normal retry acquired a sandbox and
launched through authenticated provider ingress. The earlier allocation
still rejects deletion while creating (HTTP 409), so its failed-run
cleanup remains pending.
- After deployment, use a real Dot to open the consent page without
board credentials, pair, confirm task events, and finish an assigned
task through the managed Runner.

## Risks

The operator binding response has two new required fields. Server and UI
must deploy together. The recovery exception only applies to a valid Dot
consent pathname and tenant-session 401 responses. It does not expose
protected APIs or suppress archived-stack recovery. No schema migration
or agent permission change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. Used reasoning, repository tools, test
execution, and browser control. The runtime does not expose a more
specific model ID or context window size.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 2dd9811e8b Own agent hiring and termination in a lifecycle module (#15631)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Agent creation, approval, pause, and termination change whether an
agent can work.
> - These changes currently use separate service and database paths.
> - Some agents need setup after their record exists and before their
harness can run.
> - This PR adds one module that owns those state changes and their
transactions.
> - The module records progress and retries incomplete work after a
server restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

A hire can become active before its execution environment is ready.
Direct agent state writes also bypass one common lifecycle boundary.
Termination does not have a durable step for resource cleanup.

**Proposed solution**

Use agent lifecycle commands for hiring, approval, pause, resume, and
termination. Keep proposed hires pending until approval. Prepare each
approved hire, test its saved harness configuration, and then permit
work. Wait for required plugin work before completing a step.

**Alternatives considered**

A general database commit hook would expose transaction details to
callers. A timer alone would delay each new hire. This module owns each
command transaction and starts its worker after commit. A periodic scan
recovers work after a process stops.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change adds the lifecycle boundary for the existing agent and
plugin systems. It does not add a user interface or a provider
implementation. It replaces the lifecycle delivery approach in #15391.
Related proposals include #11475 and #13099; this change does not add
their external executor protocols.

## What Changed

- Add durable approval, preparation, verification, pause, resume, stop,
and cleanup states.
- Keep agent creation, lifecycle state, configuration writes, and agent
record deletion behind `modules/agent-lifecycle`. Keep validation,
credential rules, reads, onboarding, invitations, general approvals, and
company data deletion in their services.
- Commit a hire before the remaining onboarding or invitation work.
Serialize requests with the existing dedicated database connection
helper. Reuse the hire after a failed attempt.
- Keep accepted work in the run queue during setup. Require execution
and cleanup evidence before completing pause or termination.
- Retain the original credential owner when approving migrated hires.
- Start lifecycle work after each command commits. Use database leases
and revision checks for retries and late results.
- Add a generic required plugin method and capability. Store the
required plugin IDs for each agent. Track host and plugin completion
separately.
- Keep harness verification and credential rules in services. Supply
their results to lifecycle through explicit ports. Reject failed logins
and incomplete probes.
- Remove reverse imports from lifecycle adapters into services. Share
record queries and validation below both layers.
- Use one hire decision path for agent IDs and approval IDs. Resolve the
approval and agent change in one transaction. Expose policy
reconciliation on the command object.
- Save configuration and verification invalidation through one module
operation. Ordinary commands own their transaction. Restrict the shared
transaction integration to its listed callers. Reject identity, company,
accounting, timestamp, and unknown fields.
- Require completed termination before deleting agent records. The
company deletion service calls the module through a separate deletion
interface.
- Save an approved secret before applying its agent binding. A failed
binding leaves the secret approved. A retry reuses it.
- Remove old permission and metadata export files. Move hire
configuration rules out of lifecycle persistence.
- Report failed worker steps and scans with operation context and known
error codes. Omit provider messages, stacks, and configuration values.
Document ordinary application use and extension rules.
- Recover expired native owners only after execution stops. Retry
cleanup of failed retained leases. Wait for setup in the live smoke
script.
- Keep manual, budget, and company pause reasons separate. Guard
execution status writes with the ready state.
- Add a migration, boundary checks, regression tests, and a lifecycle
guide. Keep the current UI.
- Limit periodic policy checks to 100 eligible agents per minute.
Continue from the last agent ID. Exclude pending hires and agents in
termination or a final state. Keep explicit company and budget updates
immediate.

## Verification

- Latest head `ccc3c86b0` aligns the shared status update schema with
the PATCH route. All 15 shared tests, 104 server route/OpenAPI tests, 2
CLI tests, and shared/server/CLI TypeScript checks pass. The Greptile
comment is fixed. CI is running; no new Apex review was requested for
this small fix.

- Rebase `75708ac94` rebases onto master at `2eb5187e4`. The backup test
uses the shared 90-second timeout from master; the older timeout commit
was removed. The affected backup test passes.
- Agent budget edits now pass the target agent ID through enforcement.
All 50 affected tests, server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass.
Both configuration update paths have regression coverage. CI is running
on the latest head. No new Apex review was requested for these small
fixes.

- Rebase `9b568666a` preserves the run-control extraction and
delivery-work startup changes from master. All 559 affected tests,
server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass. CI and Apex review are
running on the final head.
- The policy scan fix passes 56 lifecycle and diagnostic tests, 24
policy and caller tests, and 11 boundary tests. A regression test checks
the page limit, interval, excluded states, and cursor wraparound.

- Rebase `fd4698750` passes all 611 tests in eight affected lifecycle,
route, and heartbeat suites. Server TypeScript and all 11 module
boundary tests pass. The company deletion rollback and concurrent hire
tests are included.

- Follow-up `00aac7646` fixes the failed decision deletion test and the
public update schema. All 126 affected server tests, 8 shared tests, 2
CLI tests, and 11 boundary tests pass. Shared, server, CLI, and UI
TypeScript checks pass.

- Server TypeScript passes: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc
--noEmit`.
- All 11 boundary tests pass: `node --test
scripts/check-module-boundaries.test.mjs`. The repository boundary scan
also passes.
- All 68 lifecycle, failure diagnostic, and harness verification tests
pass. Tests reject forbidden fields through the root command, combined
transition command, and restricted transaction integration. They also
check invalid fields returned by configuration preparation.
- Failure tests cover host work, plugin work, claims, renewals,
deferrals, and scans. Log tests check known error codes and exclusion of
private error contents.
- All 355 tests in 10 existing caller suites pass. These tests cover
secret approval, pairing, pending hires, credentials, company import,
built-in agents, managed agents, instructions, and skills.
- The branch is rebased onto `origin/master` at `2eb5187e4`. The queue
guards and cancellation lock fix use the extracted heartbeat queue.
Agent cancellation uses the extracted run-control file. The source diff
scan found no secrets or private URLs.
- Earlier checks cover approval retries, rollback, late verification
results, policy holds, deletion rollback, concurrent company deletion,
and queue admission during setup.
- Before the rebase, CI passed on `00aac7646` and Greptile Apex rated it
5/5 with no open comments. CI and a new Apex review are pending for the
rebased commit. The branch has no merge conflicts.
- The full local build and native Dot suite were not run. The host has
no Cargo. No live provider test was run.

## Risks

- Background policy recovery takes more than one minute when more than
100 agents are eligible. Explicit company and budget updates still
reconcile immediately.

- The restricted configuration integration keeps an agent reference and
its dependent records in one transaction. It cannot change a budget or
invoke a lifecycle transition. A periodic scan starts pending setup
after that transaction commits.
- Secret approval and binding use separate transactions. A failed
binding can leave an approved secret with no agent binding.
- New approved hires remain unavailable until setup and verification
complete. Existing clients see `paused` during these steps. This PR does
not change the UI.
- Migration `0320_daily_onslaught.sql` maps existing statuses and pause
reasons. It does not create external resources or claim that an existing
harness passed verification.
- Use a coordinated server update for this migration. Older server
versions can write legacy status without the new lifecycle checks.
- A failed onboarding or invitation request can leave a committed hire.
A retry reuses that hire and completes the remaining records.
- Deletion requires completed termination. Company deletion can require
another request while cleanup is pending.
- Required plugins must make repeated calls safe and reject older
revisions. A disabled or removed required plugin blocks completion until
it is restored.
- A new hire can run a second harness test after the existing UI test.
Some adapters can charge for this test.
- No live provider test was run. Provider implementation and resource
backfill remain separate work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code tools, and local test
execution.
