DottaandPaperclip f7ad1dc7ca fix(workspaces): make attached project repositories writable (#18770)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people assign work to AI agents and inspect the
result.
> - A task can use repositories from more than one project.
> - Remote workspace preparation treated every additional project as a
read-only source.
> - This rejected valid Git repositories before the provider started,
even when no source was read-only.
> - The task page then hid the preparation reason behind a generic
failed-attempt notice.
> - This pull request prepares authorized repositories as writable task
copies and shows redacted workspace validation errors.
> - People can work across both projects and see the reason if folder
preparation fails.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A remote task with a selected Git-backed project and another mentioned
Git-backed project failed before provider execution. It reported
`remote_workspace_readonly_sources_unsupported`. Neither project had a
read-only setting. The task notice showed only that the attempt failed.

**Expected behavior**

Each attached repository should be writable inside the task workspace.
This should preserve source access checks and saved work. A workspace
validation failure should explain its cause on the task page.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure remote workspace storage and a native sandbox environment.
2. Select a Git-backed project for a task.
3. Mention another authorized Git-backed project in the task.
4. Start the task. Preparation rejects the additional source before it
starts the provider.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `dc9f387edc`, before this change.

**Deployment mode**

Managed remote workspace storage. Local regression checks use disposable
PostgreSQL and independent filesystem processes.

Related merged work: Refs #18403 and #18504. Those changes established
remote storage and metadata-only references. They still reject
configured cross-project repositories. No duplicate writable-repository
repair was found. Refs #18774 for the test-only retention-fixture repair
reused to unblock CI.

## What Changed

- Add every configured Git repository of an authorized referenced
project to `.paperclip-repositories/` as an editable task copy.
- Retain saved paths, refs, pins and files. Recheck retained project
access and source trust. Keep explicit read-only, local-source import
and remote feature gates.
- Keep committed snapshot repository coverage separate from later
requests. Honor configured default refs, resolve remote branch names,
and publish secondary checkouts only after checkout succeeds. Share
configured-ref resolution between root and attached-repository scripts.
- Include redacted workspace validation messages in the task
interruption projection and existing failure notice. Preserve Retry
permissions and render messages as plain text. Explain retained-folder
access and trust denials while preserving the dedicated low-trust
project-access path.
- Add source, authorization, redaction, UI and save/restore regressions.
Update the implementation contract and workspace maps.
- Reuse the reviewed test-only repair from #18774. Batch the
shared-workspace history fixture, verify its complete privacy-source
map, and drain owned test bodies before cleanup. Production retention
behavior is unchanged.

## Verification

- Red before repair: four source-resolution cases failed with the
reported read-only error. The task-error projection test also failed
because it omitted the cause.
- Green: 49 source and transport tests, 16 task projection and redaction
tests, and 10 UI tests. The assembled preparation check passes. All 48
remote workspace lifecycle tests pass. The full preparation suite passed
all 126 assertions but its cleanup hook exceeded 30 seconds. The
unchanged base reproduces the same cleanup timeout with all 126
assertions passing. The focused preparation check finishes cleanly.
- The real PostgreSQL/Git lifecycle checks cover both first-turn and
later project attachments. They verify the configured release branch,
saved edits, replacement allocations, unchanged source folders,
committed archive contents, and released writers.
- Review regressions were red before repair: the default ref became
null, later attachment failed during restore, non-default remote branch
checkout failed, and invalid secondary refs left partial checkouts. They
now pass.
- The local browser shows the workspace validation explanation and Retry
action. The fixture uses a saved failed run; this proves the error
display, not a successful live sandbox run.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Map, module-boundary and
token checks pass.
- A local two-turn acceptance probe repeated at `17ed67eaa7` used real
Codex CLI 0.165.0, `gpt-6-astra`, and `xhigh` effort. Codex wrote files
in both task repositories. The services saved them, removed the first
allocation and its Git sources, restored another allocation, and Codex
read the saved files and wrote a follow-up in both folders. This uses
the real source resolver and persistence services with a local
command-runner stand-in for sandbox transport. It does not qualify
Daytona, managed subscription forwarding, or the original task. The
first probe waited for stdin; closing the test harness pipe fixed that
setup error before provider work.
- `pnpm test:run` passed the first chat shard, then failed one chat
response concurrency assertion in the second shard. That case passes in
isolation on this head. The same isolated chat case passes on the
unchanged base. Both corresponding unchanged-base chat shards also pass
(351 and 324 tests). The cause of the earlier wider-suite chat failure
is not established. The preparation cleanup timeout and chat failure
remain part of this record.
- CI at `17ed67eaa7`: all other verification jobs passed. Browser shard
6 initially reported a request callback from the preceding test after
teardown; its single unchanged-code retry passed. Server shard 10 timed
out the 2,100-row retention confirmation fixture at 15 seconds on both
attempts. That exact case passes locally, but the repeated CI failure
required a repair. Its setup repeatedly rebuilt a shared-workspace
privacy map. The logs and failures remain part of this record.
- Reused the test-only repair from #18774 without changing its source
file. At `ab774e9418`, all 54 retention tests and all 25 ordinary
production privacy tests pass locally (79 total). Full CI
[41650626903](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41650626903)
passed on that commit, and its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. The
fixture preserves its 2,100 rows, query-bound assertions, privacy-source
map, and completed-history test deadlines.
- The additional review identified retained-source access/trust denials
that still bypassed the workspace explanation. Real-resolver regressions
reproduced both plain-403 failures before the correction. Both now yield
a safe workspace validation explanation, while the dedicated low-trust
denial and saved workspace remain unchanged. The optional duplicate
ref-resolution block is also consolidated.
- Final review corrections: 65 source, transport and error-projection
tests passed, followed by all 48 lifecycle cases against an owned
disposable PostgreSQL database (113 total). The initial combined command
skipped the explicitly gated lifecycle suite; the subsequent dedicated
invocation enabled and passed all 48. Full workspace typecheck and build
pass. The first standalone lifecycle launcher lacked the repository
TypeScript loader; rerunning with that loader resolved its import setup
error. At previous head `7be02ea09c4ac76df560e8b517050cdf398f33f0`, full
CI [41654422329, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41654422329/attempts/2)
passed, Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head, and all review threads are
resolved. The first attempt timed out the unchanged voice-session
report/history case at 15 seconds; 3,027 cases in its shard passed. That
exact case passed locally, then its single unchanged-code shard retry
passed. The wider-suite timeout cause remains unproven. The completed
Paperclip advisory check is neutral; its earlier findings are corrected.
No staging deployment or original-task recovery is claimed.

- Master advanced while checks ran, producing conflicts in two adjacent
test additions. Merged `27d35314be` into this branch as
`d5c8d552939c86056abf8fe10833881b2ade41a4`, preserving both
workspace-error tests and the audited Stop/receipt tests. Kept workspace
maps to minimal corrections under the updated map rule. All 82 source,
transport and interruption cases, all 48 real-database save/restore
lifecycle cases, full typecheck, build, and map checks pass locally on
the combined code. Current-head [CI
41660719214](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41660719214)
and Greptile are pending; the earlier verified head has not been merged.

## Risks

- Additional remote project repositories are now editable task copies.
Shared source folders and upstream push permissions do not change.
- Snapshot coverage uses existing workspace metadata. Older workspaces
capture their previous inventory at reservation; successful save
publication advances coverage and snapshot identity in one transaction.
No SQL migration is needed.
- A retained copy can contain files from a project that is no longer
mentioned. Preparation rechecks that project's current access and trust
policy before reuse.
- Explicit read-only descriptors still fail. Source-less projects remain
metadata-only. Local folders still require import. No migration or
provider-pack update is needed.
- Error display reads only workspace validation errors. The existing
run-secret registry and username censor run before display truncation. A
redaction failure omits the explanation.
- The retained fixture repair pauses its row trigger only within the
isolated seed transaction, rebuilds the exact source map, and restores
the trigger before commit. A rollback regression and 25 ordinary privacy
cases pass. Its paged-case test budget honors the existing bounded inner
waits; production deadlines are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution.
The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed by
this session. The test-only fixture changes are reused from #18774,
whose model record identifies OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol. The optional live
acceptance probe uses `gpt-6-astra` with `xhigh` effort through Codex
CLI 0.165.0.

DottaandPaperclip 1e8e32290c Give metadata project tasks private remote workspaces (#18514)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task can belong to a project without using that project's files.
> - The specification gives a task without a selected or configured
source its own private folder.
> - The remote source planner instead rejects such a task when its
project has no configured workspace.
> - This stops an ordinary delegated task before native execution
starts.
> - This pull request selects an empty, task-owned remote source for
that narrow default case.
> - Explicit source choices, existing workspace authority, and
repository requirements retain their current checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18504 and #18351. The earlier reference-project fix covered
additional project mentions. This fix covers the task's own
organizational project.

**What happened?**

A task in a project with no configured workspace fails with
`remote_workspace_source_unavailable`. Its project has no workspace
policy, its four workspace selection and binding fields are null, and it
requests no repository, branch, or local folder. The failure occurs
before native runtime selection. A derived project folder exists in the
project facade even when no source is configured; that derived path does
not grant file access.

**Expected behavior**

Use the task's private remote workspace. Keep the project on the task
for organization. Do not adopt the project folder, agent home, or
another repository. Preserve explicit workspace and source requirements.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a project without configured workspaces or a workspace policy.
2. Assign a normal task in that project to a native sandbox agent. Leave
all workspace selections and bindings unset.
3. Start the task with remote workspace storage enabled.
4. On the prior source, observe the source-unavailable error before
allocation. On this source, observe a company-owned remote workspace
whose `sourceIssueId` is the task and whose filesystem project and
source IDs are null.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against the deployed source planner at
`756599e4ea069c9338c320fe8846523d3dfb92a0`. This branch starts at
`987e0932bf66e703750cd04698b3c7e8993580a7`; the relevant planner and
preparation inputs at that parent match the deployed source.

**Deployment mode**

Native sandbox execution with remote workspace storage. The regression
tests use real PostgreSQL with the current migrations.

## What Changed

- Allow an implicit empty source only after a company-scoped query
confirms the project has no workspace rows and no explicit workspace
policy.
- Keep existing bindings, pending selections, explicit source choices,
Git requirements, and local folder choices outside this default.
- Add real PostgreSQL source controls and an assembled heartbeat
preparation control through workspace reservation and the environment
acquisition boundary.
- Clarify the existing task-owned folder contract in the implementation
specification.

## Verification

- Causal RED: the new source control and the assembled allocation
control both fail against the unchanged deployed planner with the
observed source-unavailable error.
- GREEN: 19 focused PostgreSQL controls pass across the source planner
and assembled heartbeat preparation suites. The allocation control
checks the persisted company/task owner, null filesystem project IDs,
private remote root, original organizational project, and unchanged
project and host sentinel files.
- Negative controls retain configured repository sources and reject a
configured source without a URL, an explicit missing source, an unknown
selection, a required project policy, a required branch, an explicit
local folder, a foreign project, and unsupported read-only project
sources.
- Current-source transitive TypeScript checks and `node
scripts/check-maps.mjs` pass. The map check is structural evidence only.
- Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads at
`680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a`.
[Review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18514#issuecomment-6552946468).
The official [Paperclip
assessment](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18514#issuecomment-6552931726)
is 4/5 and remains recorded unchanged. A separate non-author source
review found no actionable issue after the full producer/consumer trace,
with manual confidence 4/5. Neither static review ran the tests or
proved deployed native execution.
- Full repository tests, build, and type checks passed in [canonical
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41269733360).
All 59 checks are terminal: 55 success, three skipped, and the official
Paperclip check neutral; no failed or pending checks. The successful
build checked out merge preview
`03dce9f9bc708e778dd214ca85dfa1ba58e0a806`, with parents current main
`9dbbfa4fb298448db83ace946b338bff321d8b2a` and this exact head. Its four
helper blobs match this head; the four added mainline document-harness
paths remain unchanged. Local tests use source aliases with the current
DB, shared, and Runner source, rather than borrowed generated
declarations.
- Actual QA staging qualification is pending deployment. The previous
failed journey and cleanup evidence remain failed; these local checks do
not relabel them.

### Review follow-up

- Fresh workspace retry: the normal producer sets `taskDirectory:true`
for this empty-source case.
[Heartbeat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/server/src/services/heartbeat.ts#L2288-L2296)
separates the saved filesystem project from the organizational project.
[Environment
selection](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/server/src/services/heartbeat/environment-selection.ts#L506)
selects the fresh task directory. Preparation passes that flag, and the
planner's existing task-directory return runs before the new binding
guard. The proposed fresh failure omits that producer flag. The existing
fresh-intent and binding checks stay strict. This is source evidence,
not an extra runtime test claim.
- Empty policy object: the [public project policy
schema](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/680461e180232d0f4a057528617e39b64b4f0e3a/packages/shared/src/validators/project.ts#L24-L43)
requires `enabled:boolean`. The project PATCH schema makes outer fields
optional and does not make nested policy fields optional. A clear uses
`null`; `{}` is rejected. A defensive parser's treatment of unknown
stored data does not establish a valid `{}` producer. Keep the narrow
fallback closed for non-null policies.
- Boolean grouping: JavaScript evaluates the existing predicate as
`sourceId || (projectId && !implicitTaskDirectory)`. The explicit-source
and metadata-default controls cover those branches. The optional
parentheses suggestion does not identify a behavior change; this
reviewed source remains frozen.
- The official 4/5 assessment and its static verification limits remain
visible. The independent manual review withdrew its initial fresh-retry
concern after the full producer trace. Actual staging qualification
still requires deployment and a new real journey result.

## Risks

- The new query runs only for a source-less default admission. It reads
one authorized project and uses `NOT EXISTS` for that project's source
rows. It adds no recurring poll, write, provider call, or local folder
access.
- A project with an explicit workspace policy remains subject to the
prior source requirement. This conservative rule does not reinterpret
policy fields.
- The allocation control uses the real planner and PostgreSQL
reservation. It stops at environment acquisition, so it proves workspace
ownership rather than provider filesystem execution. Live staging
qualification is still required.
- No API, database schema, permission, model, budget, run limit, or QA
journey oracle changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. This session does not expose a more precise backend model ID
or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 756599e4ea fix(workspaces): keep project references without source folders (#18504)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents can receive project references in normal task and chat
messages.
> - Remote workspace preparation checks those references before a native
run starts.
> - A project with no workspace source has no folder to attach.
> - The current check rejects that project as an unsupported read-only
folder.
> - This pull request keeps the project reference and reports the
missing source without attaching files.
> - Projects with configured sources keep the current remote access
restrictions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18403 and #18351. This is a product prerequisite for the hiring
journey. It changes no journey code.

**What happened?**

A native chat run failed before execution when its message referenced an
authorized project with zero configured workspaces. The error was
`workspace_validation_failed`: “This remote runtime cannot safely
provide read-only project folders.” The project had no repository or
checkout. The failed QA run and original grade remain preserved.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the task workspace when a referenced project has no configured
source. Report that no project folder was attached. Continue to reject
configured cross-project sources that require an unsupported read-only
mount.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a native remote task folder with multi-project references
enabled.
2. Mention a same-company project that has no configured workspaces in a
normal comment.
3. Prepare the run workspace.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `b889ac39b7fbed558c5f4cfbbc2b73c4ca916810` with the real
workspace resolver and PostgreSQL migrations. The staging failure was
recorded in workflow
[41253428446](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/41253428446).

## What Changed

- Distinguish authorized project references with a known empty workspace
list from configured sources.
- Return a resolution warning and failure receipt for an absent source.
Do not attach a folder or create a workspace.
- Preserve project authorization, company filtering, the disabled
remote-source gate, and the read-only restriction for configured
sources.
- Add real PostgreSQL regression cases and document the reference
contract.

## Verification

- Causal RED on unchanged `b889`: the metadata-only project case failed
with the same read-only error. The real repository negative already
passed.
- GREEN: eight PostgreSQL cases pass. They cover an absent source with
the remote-source switch both on and off, a saved existing workspace, a
repository, a configured source without a repository URL, the disabled
remote gate, mixed references, and a foreign company.
- The existing assembled workspace test also passes: a real read-only
project source is rejected before reservation or environment
acquisition. Total: 9 selected tests pass; 119 unrelated tests were not
selected.
- Tests use PostgreSQL 17 and the current source migrations. The local
Vitest configuration selects current DB, shared, and Runner sources
because the borrowed dependency output predates the remote workspace
feature.
- Current-source TypeScript checking of both changed TypeScript files
and their dependency graph passes. It uses the repository's real Express
actor declaration.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- Canonical reproduction: `pnpm exec vitest run --project server
server/src/services/heartbeat/remote-workspace-source.test.ts` with the
existing embedded PostgreSQL support or
`PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_ADMIN_URL` set to a disposable test cluster.
- Historical `0f2b` passed all 59 CI checks. A separate non-author
manual source audit reported no actionable findings at confidence 4/5;
it did not rerun tests or qualify live QA. The official 4/5 review
requested a flag-scope test and saved-workspace control. This
test-and-documentation update adds both, with production source bytes
unchanged.
- Current-head canonical [CI
41258109282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41258109282)
passed: all 59 checks are terminal (55 success, 3 skipped, 1 neutral),
with no failures or pending checks. Build and typecheck passed. The
eight-case regression file passed in the canonical Linux server 1/12
lane. Its checkout `6f69ccca70d10e78885b133fb54a80940bf175a5` has
parents `b889` and this exact head; its tree equals this head.
- Fresh Greptile and official Ponytail assessments each give 5/5 for
exact `27660027d12ff31427d611019e90dabfb6d8503a`, with zero unresolved
review threads. The separate manual audit remains 4/5.
- Live QA remains pending on a reviewed app build. This regression proof
does not claim that the hiring journey passed.

## Risks

A project source could be added after project hydration. This change
uses the same run-preparation source snapshot as the existing
authorization and source check. It only permits a positively known empty
workspace list. Configured sources, unknown shapes, foreign projects,
and existing execution authority keep their current checks. No schema,
credentials, provider, model, budget, or filesystem permissions change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
backend model ID or fixed context window. Used reasoning, repository
tools, TypeScript and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 5e4cc01073 feat(workspaces): keep remote files off the webserver disk (#18403)
Keep native sandbox workspace files independent of the webserver disk. Use encrypted saved versions and Postgres ownership so a replacement server can recover files and continue work. Enable the path by default for new eligible workspaces when durable storage is configured.

Preserve explicit opt-outs and existing host workspaces. Include safe snapshot repair, Files access, import, migration and retention. Bound saved-Files resources, preserve imported Git recovery, reject unfinished Git operations, publish immutable concurrent captures, and verify permanent object-version deletion.

Validated 471 targeted local controls, build/typechecks, all 40 CI partitions, fresh Greptile 5/5 and security review. The PR records original failed attempts and scoped retries.
