DottaandPaperclip 3f7b00a8d0 fix: preserve public identifiers in feedback redaction (#16168)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People rate agent comments and documents to capture feedback.
> - Feedback bundles remove credentials and personal information before
export.
> - The feedback scanner treats ordinary dotted text as JWTs and
authentication terms as bearer tokens.
> - This pull request checks encoded JWT headers and preserves known
authentication terms.
> - The benefit is readable feedback context with credential masking
kept in place.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12309 for the related dotted-identifier false-positive report.
This PR fixes the separate feedback scanner. It does not close every
case in that report.

Related PR: #14318 adds fine-grained GitHub token coverage. It addresses
a separate credential form and is not duplicated here.

**What happened?**

Feedback exports replace `api.openai.com`, dotted filenames, and public
schema IDs with a JWT placeholder. They also replace the words after
`bearer` in phrases such as “bearer tokens.” Five-part encrypted JWTs
are only partly masked.

**Expected behavior**

Keep public identifiers and authentication terms readable. Mask complete
credential tokens. Count only text replacements in the redaction
summary.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Pass `api.openai.com` or `Use bearer tokens.` to
`sanitizeFeedbackText`.
2. Check that the original text is returned and the redaction counts
stay empty.
3. Pass a signed JWT or an encrypted JWT to the same function.
4. Check that the full token is replaced and one JWT replacement is
counted.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced in the feedback scanner on master at
`5e8e992df2b3d71f82091b7bbf29fd482854d9f5`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. The defect is in the shared feedback export service
and does not depend on deployment mode.

## What Changed

- Use the existing JWT header predicate in the feedback scanner.
- Match complete three-part and five-part tokens, including
direct-encryption tokens with an empty key segment. Accept short token
segments in the predicate.
- Preserve the closed set of authentication terms already used by the
general scanner, including terms inside closing prose delimiters.
- Count only replacements that change the text.
- Add tests for readable context, credential masking, nested values, and
redaction counts.
- Document feedback text redaction.

## Verification

- Focused redaction and feedback service tests: 89 tests pass across
five suites.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passes. Full
local typecheck, tests, and build were attempted. The kernel killed
compiler and test processes at the sandbox memory limit of 4 GB. Serial
retries and a capped Node heap still could not complete the server
compiler. CI runs the full repository checks.
- `git diff --check` passes.
- Latest commit `0eb8d3fb4257bb79e67fab615a8299ef69230ad8`: **55 checks
passed**, including full typecheck, tests, build, and E2E; two optional
Storybook checks were skipped. [CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38407932875).
Both Greptile findings have regression tests and fixes. [Greptile gives
this commit
5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16168#issuecomment-6146917423),
with both review threads resolved.

## Risks

- This changes the feedback export matching rules. Public dotted text no
longer triggers credential masking by shape alone.
- Explicit credential assignments, provider keys, structured secret
fields, email addresses, and phone numbers remain masked. Tests cover
these cases.
- Existing feedback snapshots are not rewritten. No schema change or
migration is needed.
- The encoded-header check remains a heuristic. It is not a full JWT
validator.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code execution. The
runtime identifies the model as GPT-6. It does not expose the exact
provider deployment ID or context window size. The earlier patch and
this PR preparation were AI-assisted.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip fdb9a4880d fix(security): route paperclipai CLI guidance through safe npx form (CWE-78) (#11400)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip provides CLI commands and guidance for operators and
agents
> - The `pnpm paperclipai` script can pass argument values through a
shell
> - Shell re-parsing can execute command substitutions inside quoted
values
> - This pull request routes guidance through inert-argv `npx
paperclipai` commands and adds regression coverage
> - The benefit is safer operator guidance across documentation and
runtime hints

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This pull request fixes a command-injection-class defect in Paperclip
CLI guidance.

**What happened?**

The `pnpm paperclipai <sub> --flag "$VALUE"` form can re-parse argument
values through a shell. A command substitution inside a quoted value can
execute on the host.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip guidance must pass CLI values as inert argument values.
Host-derived values must not appear in copyable commands.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a Paperclip guidance command that uses the `pnpm paperclipai`
script.
2. Provide a quoted value that contains a command substitution.
3. Observe that the shell can evaluate the substitution before the CLI
starts.
4. Compare the result with the `npx paperclipai` form.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`5670984b75d109950c968542a0111ebb6967f4da`

**Deployment mode**

All deployment modes that show or use the affected CLI guidance.

**Installation method**

Built from source and installed CLI guidance.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug).

**Database mode**

Not database-related.

**Access context**

Both.

**Additional context**

The earlier merged PR
[#11343](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/11343) used the
unsafe `pnpm exec paperclipai` form. This fresh PR replaces that
guidance with the safe `npx paperclipai` form.

## What Changed

- Standardize documentation and runtime hints on `npx paperclipai`.
- Remove the broken `pnpm exec paperclipai` guidance.
- Use a static `<host>` placeholder in private-hostname guidance.
- Add regression tests for unsafe forms, continued lines, static hosts,
and offline guidance.

## Verification

- `git diff --check
origin/master...origin/fix/paperclipai-cli-npx-safe-invocation` passes.
- The branch adds `server/src/__tests__/cli-invocation-safety.test.ts`
and updates private-hostname tests.
- CI must run the new tests, typecheck, lint, and build checks.
- Local Vitest execution was not available because this worktree has no
installed Vitest binary.

## Risks

- The change affects operator and agent documentation text.
- The runtime hints now show `<host>` instead of a request-derived host
value.
- No database schema or migration changes exist.
- CI will detect any missed unsafe invocation or type error.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5, exact model ID `gpt-5`, with tool use and code-review
assistance. The model used repository inspection, Git operations, and PR
preparation.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 5ca7b4c1fe fix(security): standardize paperclipai CLI guidance on safe npx path (#11343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip provides CLI guidance to agents and operators through
documentation and runtime messages.
> - Content-bearing `pnpm paperclipai` examples send arguments through a
shell.
> - Shell evaluation can execute command substitutions in untrusted
argument content.
> - Runtime hostname guidance can also place request-derived content
inside a shell command.
> - This pull request uses `npx paperclipai` for content-bearing
guidance and uses a static hostname placeholder.
> - The benefit is safer copy-paste guidance for agents and operators.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Issue type**
Incorrect information

**Where is the issue?**
CLI guidance in `doc/CLI.md`, `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`,
documentation, and runtime-generated hints.

**What's wrong?**
Content-bearing `pnpm paperclipai` commands can pass argument text
through `/bin/sh`. Shell command substitution in an argument can execute
before the CLI receives the value.

**Suggested fix**
Use `npx paperclipai` for content-bearing commands. Use a static
`<host>` placeholder when runtime guidance displays the allowed-hostname
command.

## What Changed

- Replace content-bearing `pnpm paperclipai` examples with `npx
paperclipai` across the documentation and agent-facing guidance.
- Update runtime-generated CLI hints to use a static `<host>`
placeholder.
- Add safety notes to `doc/CLI.md` and `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`.
- Add scans and regression tests for unsafe invocation and hostile
hostname headers.
- Keep fixed lifecycle commands and `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/*` build
commands unchanged.

## Verification

- Run `tsc --noEmit` for the changed server files.
- Run `cli-invocation-safety.test.ts`.
- Run `private-hostname-guard.test.ts`.
- Confirm that hostile hostname headers do not enter shown shell
commands.
- Confirm that the three commits contain the required Paperclip
co-author trailer.

## Risks

- This change updates documentation and diagnostic text across many
surfaces.
- Fixed lifecycle and setup commands remain unchanged.
- The tests fail if content-bearing `pnpm paperclipai` guidance returns.
- The change does not alter the CLI argument parser.

## Model Used

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