DottaandPaperclip 96bf004a79 fix: use persisted state for lifecycle continuation and retry budgets (#13888)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its control plane decides when a task can continue, wait, stop, or
complete.
> - Legacy continuation could change when an agent changed its wording
without changing task state.
> - Shared attempt counts also let repair and infrastructure retries
affect each other's limits.
> - This pull request uses persisted state and separate, bounded
allowances for these decisions.
> - If automatic repair stops, the task explains what happened and
offers a guarded retry.
> - Paired tests and real-provider evaluations verify that Stop,
approvals, ownership, and spending limits remain authoritative.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: Refs #13761, Refs #11126, Refs #13610. These cover
obsolete continuation dispatch and retry storms. Open and closed issues
and PRs were searched for related lifecycle, continuation, and retry
work.

**What happened?**
Legacy continuation depended on English wording and progress heuristics.
Repair, failure retry, and productive continuation could consume shared
counts. When bounded repair stopped, the task showed a technical
recovery message without a clear next action.

**Expected behavior**
Persisted disposition and owned execution paths determine the next
action. Missing disposition prompts bounded agent repair. Explicit work
mode determines planning mode. Narrative changes and raw activity counts
cannot replenish allowances. An exhausted repair shows a readable
notice. An explicit retry checks current controls and preserves the
assigned agent.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run `pnpm test:lifecycle-baseline`. The paired probes keep structured
state constant while varying completion, planning, blocker, and progress
prose. Run the explicit `lifecycle-baseline` and
`continuation-accounting` Product E2E suites for real-provider coverage.
In Storybook, open **Design previews / Recovery notice** to inspect the
production component's normal, pending, acknowledged, unavailable,
failure, and mobile states.

## What Changed

- Hide the image attachment button, icon, and drop/paste hint in answer
composers. Image paste and drop support remains available.
- Merge current master and retain both browser regression sets. Use a
production-stamped service worker in the offline recovery browser
fixture.
- Share one state-based legacy continuation decision across immediate,
delayed, and recovered dispatch. Bind bounded repairs to their source
run and episode.
- Remove title and description wording from work-mode authority. Agents
can still write requested plans in execution mode.
- Persist separate failure-retry and productive-continuation counters.
Disposition repair and resource waits cannot consume or reset those
allowances.
- Validate delayed repair identity, then recheck current gates before
provider dispatch. Fence native startup cancellation.
- Show **Agent needs attention**, a plain-language explanation, **Retry
agent**, and expandable details in both task interfaces. Report request
progress, acknowledgement, and errors inline.
- Store typed recovery notice metadata. Recognize older active notices
only through exact stored action and run IDs. Notice text never grants
retry authority.
- Use the existing recovery-action endpoint for retry. Recheck current
action, status, owner, agent availability, dependencies, active runs,
pending questions and confirmations, approvals, pause controls, and
budget. Duplicate requests do not wake twice.
- Add component, page, route, database, contract, and Storybook
coverage. Keep the scenario inventory and executable evals here.
Historical reports and snapshots live in the [commit-pinned
paperclip-evals
archive](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/ce3e5afcd4a1184650f586a2b5b8be5874c66c8b/experiments/2026-09-lifecycle-authority/README.md).
- Preserve unsaved project fields while the same project URL changes to
its canonical alias. Do not reuse data across projects or companies.
This separate fix addresses the repeated repository-editor browser
failure without changing the browser test.
- Keep the development service worker from intercepting Vite module
reloads. Update the connection-intent browser fixture to record progress
and completion through the agent API.

## Verification

Merge preparation on September 25, commit
`c1e8e4b7ddd9fbc4913ed55ce21b8e12906c2f97`:

- Merged master `bd2030932` and resolved the browser test-list conflict
by keeping both sets of regressions.
- Deterministic lifecycle baseline: 1,090/1,090 assertions passed; no
failures, skips, or missing selected evidence. Unit 423, runner 184,
database integration 397, grading 86.
- Browser support: 17/17 passed. The offline recovery test first failed
with an unstamped development worker, then passed with the production
stamp. Its assertions are unchanged.
- Focused interaction UI and offline fallback tests: 19/19 passed.
Verified the custom-answer composer in Storybook: no attachment controls
or hint; entering an answer enables Next.
- Recursive typecheck, production build, token gates, and diff checks
passed. The worktree is clean. No new real-provider campaign was run.
- Current CI and review: [Current PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36166011243):
55 successful checks and two optional Storybook skips. Greptile scored
this exact commit 5/5. Hiding the question attachment controls is an
intentional UI change; paste/drop remains available.

Earlier recovery UI verification, commit
`21be0fec0e90e86b6d662b8ee4831847cd041cdb`:

- Recursive typecheck, production build, token gates, and diff checks
passed.
- Focused UI coverage: 338 tests passed across six suites (336 before
the interaction guard, with the two affected suites rerun at 149 passed
after it). Covers both task interfaces, the real page mutation,
pending/error acknowledgement, stale state, and unavailable controls.
- Recovery database integration: 352 tests passed before the interaction
guard. The complete recovery-action and mutation-route suites passed 181
tests after it. The two new pending question/confirmation regressions
failed before the fix and passed afterward, including
resolved-interaction controls. Shared validator suite: 31 passed. E2E
catalog suites: 34 passed.
- Browser inspection passed for light/dark themes, mobile layout,
expandable details, pending retry, acknowledgement, failure, and
disabled retry. Storybook renders the production component; its request
is simulated.
- The broad local run hit two chat callback-order wait failures and was
stopped after all CI unit/database/runner shards passed. Both local
failures passed when rerun without the competing full-suite process.
- CI exposed a repeated project-repository draft-loss race during
canonical redirects. A new unit regression failed before the fix; all
nine project-page tests now pass, including controls for other projects
and companies. Both unchanged repository browser tests passed against a
fresh local server. UI typecheck, production UI build, and token gates
passed after this fix.
- [Earlier PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36072486798)
on `21be0fec0e90e86b6d662b8ee4831847cd041cdb`: 55 successful checks, two
optional Storybook skips, and no failed or pending checks. The
repository browser shard passed with the production fix. Greptile is 5/5
on this exact commit with no unresolved review threads. The PR is
mergeable.

Historical, source-qualified lifecycle evidence:

- Lifecycle baseline: 1,074 assertions. Native session coverage: 447
tests. Product E2E support: 515 tests. Browser support: 11 tests. Full
earlier verification is retained in the archive.
- [Real-provider campaign: 8/8 passed, zero
retries](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35881382080-1/index.html),
source `e88d210417280140b44a36449027290adcb1aeaa`. Evidence and cleanup
checks passed. This includes deliberately exhausted repair cases that
correctly remain blocked; it does not mean every task finished Done.
This campaign predates the recovery UI change.
- Archive migration verified all 16 original JSON files byte-for-byte
and all 24 checksum entries. App tests do not need private archive
access. [Archive PR
#27](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/27) is merged.

## Risks

- Agents that omit durable disposition receive at most two repair
attempts by default. Prose-only completion exposes missing state rather
than silently changing scheduling.
- A retry is an explicit board action. The server rechecks current
controls. A successful response confirms the task returned to To do; it
does not claim that the provider has already started.
- Existing notice metadata remains valid. Only older active notices with
matching structured evidence receive the new UI. Historical notices
without that evidence keep their existing rendering. No schema migration
is required.
- Old run records require conservative retry accounting. Tests cover old
counters, alternating retry lanes, restarts, and exhausted repairs.
- Historical snapshots require private `paperclip-evals` access. The app
index retains public campaign links. Live campaigns qualify specific
sources and scenarios; no new real-provider campaign has run for the
recovery UI commit.

> This fixes existing lifecycle and recovery behavior and does not
duplicate planned core work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation, reasoning, code
execution, and review. The exact serving model ID and context window are
not exposed in this task. Historical real-provider evaluations used
Codex model `gpt-5.6-sol`, separately from the implementation assistant.

656ecfa585 fix(server): keep Date fields intact through secret redaction; harden chat notice timestamps (#10984)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task chat thread renders issue comments, system notices, and run
transcripts
> - The server routes comment payloads through the run-secret redaction
walker before it sends them
> - The walker rebuilds each object with `Object.entries`, and this
collapses `Date` instances to `{}`
> - The chat renderer then calls `.toISOString()` on an invalid date and
throws, and the thread falls back to the error banner
> - This pull request keeps `Date` instances intact in redacted
responses and makes the renderer safe against bad timestamps
> - The benefit is that task threads with system notices render
correctly again

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**

Task threads that contain a system notice showed the banner "Chat
renderer hit an internal state error." in place of the conversation.
This occurred on many tasks.

**Expected behavior**

The thread renders all comments and system notices with correct
timestamps.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task that has at least one system notice comment (for example
a "Workspace ready" notice).
2. `GET /api/issues/{id}/comments` returns `createdAt: {}` for every
comment because the secret-redaction walker collapses `Date` objects.
3. The system-notice row calls `new Date({}).toISOString()`. This throws
`RangeError: Invalid time value` and trips the thread error boundary.

**Version / deployment**

Regression from #9934 (`e43f187ca`). It applies to all deployments that
include that commit.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/run-secret-redaction.ts`:
`redactRegisteredSecretValues` now returns `Date` instances as-is. Dates
hold no redactable text, and the `Object.entries` rebuild turned them
into `{}`.
- `ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`: the system-notice row formats
its timestamp with a new `toValidIsoString` helper. A value that does
not parse as a date now degrades to "no timestamp" instead of a render
crash.
- Regression tests at three layers:
- Walker unit tests: `Date` values survive with and without registered
secret values.
- Route test: `GET /issues/:id/comments` serializes `createdAt` /
`updatedAt` as ISO strings.
- Render test: a system notice with a malformed `createdAt` renders
without the error boundary.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run --root server
src/__tests__/run-secret-redaction.test.ts` — 5 passed.
- `npx vitest run --root server
src/__tests__/issue-comment-redaction.test.ts` — 4 passed (embedded
Postgres route test).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx
src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts` — 121 passed.
- Each new test was run against the unfixed code and failed there, which
confirms it guards the regression.
- A local sweep rendered 47 real issue threads through
`IssueChatThread`: 7 tripped the boundary before the fix, 0 after.

## Risks

- Low risk. The server change only preserves `Date` objects that the
walker destroyed before. String redaction behavior does not change, and
the registry-key stripping does not change.
- The UI change only affects the timestamp of system-notice rows and
omits it when the value is invalid.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), Anthropic. Agentic coding session
with tool use (file edits, shell, Vitest). No extended-context or
special reasoning mode.

DottaandClaude Fable 5 c2b41bb7cd fix(issues): quiet missing-disposition warnings while a live continuation is running (#10899)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When an agent run ends without recording a disposition, Paperclip
raises a "missing disposition" handoff so the work does not silently
stall
> - The server already tracks whether such an issue has a live
continuation (a running or queued run, or a queued wake) in
`successfulRunHandoff.hasLiveContinuation`
> - But no UI surface read that flag, so an issue that an agent was
actively working on still showed the "This task still needs a next step"
banner, a loud thread warning, and "Needs next step" badges
> - This pull request makes every missing-disposition complaint respect
liveness: warn only when no live agent is on the issue and it is really
stuck
> - The benefit is that users see the warning only when action is
needed, and the noise disappears while an agent is already handling the
issue

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. Description follows the
bug-report template:

**What happened?**

An issue that a live agent run was actively working on showed the
"missing disposition" warning banner, a loud thread notice, and "Needs
next step" badges at the same time. The API payload for that issue
showed `successfulRunHandoff.required: true` together with
`hasLiveContinuation: true` and a `liveRunId`, but the UI ignored the
liveness fields.

**Expected behavior**

The missing-disposition warning appears only when the issue has no live
run or queued wake. A live agent records a disposition when its run
ends. Paperclip complains only if the run ends and no disposition
exists.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Let a run finish on an in-progress issue without a disposition.
Paperclip raises the handoff and queues a corrective wake.
2. Open the issue page while the corrective run (or any new run) is
live.
3. See the banner, the badges, and the loud thread notice — all visible
while the agent works.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current `master` (reproduced at commit 6ffe9df842).

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted development instance.

## What Changed

- `isSuccessfulRunHandoffRequired` (ui lib) returns `false` while a live
continuation exists. This quiets the Kanban card badge and the
issues-list badge. Exception: when the only continuation is a
not-yet-promoted scheduled retry, the notice stays visible so the
**Retry now** control stays reachable.
- `IssueBlockedNotice` also checks the real-time live-run set
(`liveIssueIds`). A run that starts after the issue payload was fetched
hides the banner at once.
- `IssueChatThread` derives an effective handoff state from the live
runs it already tracks. The loud "Missing issue disposition" thread
notice folds into the quiet collapsed row while a continuation is live,
and unfolds if the run ends without a disposition.
- Server: `hydrateSuccessfulRunHandoffLiveness` now hydrates escalated
handoffs too. The blocked-inbox `missing_disposition` attention is
suppressed for escalated handoffs with a live run or wake. This matches
the existing required-state suppression.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx` — 106 tests pass, including 6
new tests for the live/stale/scheduled-retry matrix
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx
src/components/KanbanBoard.test.tsx src/lib` — pass
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts
src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts` — pass, including new
escalated-liveness cases
- `pnpm typecheck` clean in `ui` and `server`; `node
scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` clean
- Manual check: a live issue's API payload showed `required: true` with
`hasLiveContinuation: true` and a `liveRunId` while the banner was still
on screen; with this change that state renders no complaint

## Risks

- Behavioral shift only; no schema or migration changes. All complaints
reappear as soon as the continuation stops without a disposition, so
nothing can get lost permanently.
- A queued wake counts as a live continuation. If a wake sits queued for
a long time, the warning stays hidden for that time. The blocked-inbox
path already behaved this way; the UI now matches it.
- The scheduled-retry carve-out keeps the current Retry-now workflow
intact.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), Anthropic — agentic coding session
with extended thinking and tool use (file edit, shell, test execution).

b4a7a12985 feat: make recovery updates quieter (#10542)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The recovery subsystem restores work after an agent run stops or
loses state
> - Recovery notices currently use the same visual weight as normal work
comments
> - Recovery agents can also post long narratives that obscure the
useful hand-off
> - The server must identify recovery output because agents cannot set
presentation controls
> - This pull request adds compact recovery notices, structured action
references, and brief recovery prompts
> - The benefit is a quieter issue thread that still keeps recovery
state inspectable

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, and
`packages/adapter-utils`.

**Problem or motivation**

Recovery notices and recovery-run comments can dominate an issue thread.
Operators must scan routine recovery narration before they find the work
hand-off.

**Proposed solution**

Give routine recovery output a compact system-notice presentation.
Derive the presentation on the server so agents cannot hide arbitrary
comments. Keep the successful missing-state summary fully visible
because that comment is the recovery deliverable.

**Alternatives considered**

The UI could detect recovery text. That approach is fragile and does not
provide structured action references. Agents could also set presentation
directly, but that would weaken the current board-only security
boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change refines the completed “Self-healing runs & automatic
recovery” and “Enforced Outcomes” roadmap areas. It does not add a
competing roadmap capability.

**Additional context**

The scope covers shared comment validation, server recovery notices,
agent-comment derivation, and recovery prompt text. No database
migration is needed because presentation data already uses JSON.

## What Changed

- Add the `compact` issue-comment presentation density to shared
constants, types, and validation.
- Give recovery escalation, waiting, and in-place notices compact titles
and structured recovery-action metadata.
- Use recovery-action metadata for notice deduplication, with the legacy
text marker as a compatibility fallback.
- Derive compact presentation for comments from recovery-scoped runs
while preserving the board-only presentation boundary.
- Keep successful missing-state recovery summaries fully visible.
- Ask recovery participants to record outcomes in `resolutionNote` and
keep source-issue comments brief.
- Add shared, route, service, and prompt tests for the new behavior and
exceptions.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- Focused Vitest coverage: 320 tests passed across shared validators,
adapter prompts, issue comments, recovery actions, and heartbeat
recovery.
- Full server phase: 292 files passed, 3,094 tests passed, and 2 tests
skipped.
- Full UI phase: 386 files passed and 3,182 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`
- Known master baseline: `cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` expects
`pass`, but the current implementation returns `warn` when strict secret
mode is disabled for Postgres. This branch does not change CLI secrets
code.

## Risks

- Low migration risk. The presentation column is JSON and needs no
database migration.
- Recovery-run detection depends on the persisted run context snapshot.
- Structured metadata becomes the primary deduplication key. The
existing body marker remains as a fallback for older comments.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex with `gpt-5.6-sol`. The runtime did not expose the
context-window size. The model used agentic reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 6ec059ab4e fix(server): suppress stale handoff alarms during live continuation (#9695)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The control plane records a successful-run handoff when productive
work ends without a durable next-step disposition
> - That handoff state was derived only from the latest activity event,
without checking whether a corrective run or wake was currently alive
> - As a result, actively progressing issues could still show a
high-severity missing-disposition alarm and blocked-inbox row
> - The same stale required event could also remain indefinitely when a
later successful run correctly skipped recovery because another valid
continuation path already existed
> - This pull request makes the derived state liveness-aware, suppresses
attention only while the live path exists, and resolves stale required
events on valid-path skips
> - The benefit is that productive work stays calm while genuine stalls
still resurface automatically when liveness disappears

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- **Bug:** An issue whose latest successful-run handoff event is
`required` continues to report a missing disposition even while a
heartbeat run, scheduled retry, or queued/deferred/claimed wake is
actively targeting that issue.
- **Expected behavior:** The API should expose current continuation
liveness, the blocked inbox should suppress the alarm only while that
path remains live, and a later successful run that skips recovery
because a valid path exists should durably resolve the stale event.
- **Related but distinct:** #9370 changes disposition freshness at
detection time; #8748 adds an explicit policy opt-out. This PR preserves
detection/escalation policy and fixes read-time/current-liveness state.

## What Changed

- Extended `SuccessfulRunHandoffState` with `hasLiveContinuation` and
optional `liveRunId` evidence.
- Added bounded liveness hydration for required handoff states using
active heartbeat-run and wake-request signals.
- Suppressed `missing_disposition` blocked-inbox rows only while a run,
scheduled retry, or live wake targets the issue.
- Added durable `issue.successful_run_handoff_resolved` logging when
handoff detection skips because another valid continuation path owns the
next action.
- Added focused regressions for live/absent derived state, self-healing
attention suppression, valid-path skip classification, and
resolved-event logging.
- Updated UI normalization and fixtures for the shared contract without
changing rendering behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`

without a next action"` — 1 passed
- `git diff --check`

## Risks

- Low risk: no schema or migration changes, and detection, bounded
correction attempts, and escalation behavior are unchanged.
- Liveness lookups are limited to issues whose latest handoff state is
`required`; blocked-inbox suppression reuses rows already loaded by that
query path.
- Suppression is read-time and self-healing: when the run or wake stops,
the alarm returns on the next fetch.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex using `gpt-5.4`, tool-enabled software-engineering
workflow with repository, shell, test, Git, GitHub, and Paperclip
control-plane access. Context-window size is not exposed by this

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 8d9f9fd240 Add reusable sandbox custom images (#8794)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A growing part of that work runs in sandboxed environments rather
than on the operator's local machine.
> - Today sandbox providers can start fresh workspaces and run probes,
but they do not have a shared contract for capturing and reusing
prepared sandbox state.
> - Operators need a way to set up tools, credentials, and project
dependencies once, then reuse that prepared image for later agent runs.
> - This pull request adds reusable sandbox custom images across the
provider contract, server runtime, and board UI.
> - It also keeps probes and sandbox copy flows aligned with
pre-authenticated/custom-image environments.
> - The benefit is faster, more reliable sandbox runs without repeatedly
rebuilding the same environment setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue was found for this change. Inline feature request
follows.

### Problem or motivation

Sandboxed agents need reusable prepared runtime state so repeated runs
do not require manual setup every time. Operators often need system
packages, CLIs, SDKs, dependency caches, credentials, and project
tooling available before an agent can work productively.

### Proposed solution

Add a provider-level custom-image capability, server-side setup/capture
lifecycle, Daytona/fake provider support, and board UI controls for
creating, testing, selecting, and deleting custom images.

### Alternatives considered

Leaving this as provider-specific setup outside Paperclip would keep the
control plane blind to image state and would not give agents consistent
environment metadata. Re-running setup commands for every lease is
simpler, but slower and less reliable for interactive or credentialed
setup.

### Roadmap alignment

Checked `ROADMAP.md`; this aligns with the Cloud / Sandbox agents
roadmap area and does not duplicate any related public issue or PR found
by search.

Additional context:
- Subsystem affected: cross-cutting (`packages/db`, `packages/shared`,
`packages/plugins`, `server`, `ui`).
- Duplicate search: searched GitHub for `sandbox custom image` and
`sandbox template environment`; no related public issues or PRs were
found.

## What Changed

- Added custom-image shared types, validators, constants, API paths, and
database schema/migration.
- Added server services/routes for custom-image templates and setup
sessions, including runtime cleanup and provider metadata handling.
- Extended plugin/sandbox provider capabilities for interactive setup,
template capture, and template deletion.
- Implemented custom-image support in the fake sandbox provider and
Daytona provider.
- Updated environment runtime/config handling so active custom images
flow into leases, probes, and agent execution.
- Added board UI controls and API client support for custom-image setup,
capture, selection, status, and error states.
- Hardened sandbox copy/probe behavior for insecure clipboard contexts
and pre-authenticated sandbox images.
- Added targeted coverage across shared validators, DB schema, server
routes/services, provider plugins, adapter probes, and UI flows.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.probe.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/test.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck`
- `pnpm vitest run
packages/db/src/environment-custom-images-schema.test.ts
packages/shared/src/environment-custom-images.test.ts
packages/shared/src/validators/plugin.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-custom-images-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts
ui/src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/CompanySettings.test.tsx`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `rm -rf packages/db/dist && pnpm test:run`
- Public-safety scan of the final diff found no internal Paperclip issue
links, private instance URLs, or real secret patterns.

## Risks

- Adds a database migration and new environment runtime tables, so
migration ordering and rollback need care.
- Provider implementations may differ in how reliably they can
capture/delete images; unsupported providers surface capability-gated UI
states.
- Custom-image state can contain operator-prepared tooling and
credentials inside the provider image, so providers must enforce their
own access controls and cleanup semantics.
- Broad surface area across shared contracts, server runtime, plugins,
adapters, and UI means CI and Greptile review should be watched closely.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 (`gpt-5`) via Codex CLI with tool use and code execution.
Assisted with branch cleanup, conflict resolution, local verification,
and PR preparation. Earlier branch implementation work was assisted by
Paperclip-managed Claude/Codex agents.

DottaandPaperclip d0e9cc76f2 Show workspace changes and stale notices in issue threads (#5356)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The issue thread is the operator's durable audit trail for what
changed and why
> - Workspace changes and stale disposition notices need to be visible
in that same timeline without noisy or misleading rendering
> - The local branch already contained backend activity details,
timeline conversion, and UI rendering work for those events
> - This pull request isolates the issue-thread activity work into a
standalone branch against `origin/master`
> - The benefit is a focused audit-trail PR that can merge independently
of the sidebar/operator UI polish branch

## What Changed

- Adds readable workspace-change activity details to issue update
activity events.
- Surfaces workspace-change events in issue chat/timeline rendering.
- Makes the existing issue comment migration idempotent.
- Folds and renders stale disposition notices inline so they match
activity-log styling and spacing.
- Adds focused route, timeline, and issue-thread system notice coverage.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-activity-events-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-timeline-events.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx` — 3 files
passed, 22 tests passed.
- Confirmed the PR changes 9 files and does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`
or `.github/workflows/*`.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-closed-workspace-routes.test.ts` — 1 file
passed, 4 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run

ui/src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx
server/src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
packages/shared/src/validators/issue.test.ts` — 5 files passed, 54 tests
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck && pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` after adding the Storybook
screenshot fixture.
- Captured Storybook screenshots for the new UI rendering paths:
- Collapsed stale notice + workspace-change row:
`docs/pr-screenshots/pr-5356/issue-thread-notices-collapsed.png`
- Expanded stale notice details:
`docs/pr-screenshots/pr-5356/issue-thread-notices-expanded.png`


### Screenshots

Collapsed stale notice with workspace-change row:

Expanded stale notice details:

![Expanded stale notice
details](docs/pr-screenshots/pr-5356/issue-thread-notices-expanded.png)

## Risks

- Moderate risk: this touches issue activity serialization and
issue-thread rendering, both of which are central operator surfaces.
- Migration risk is low: the only migration change makes an existing
migration idempotent.
- No new migrations are introduced, so there is no cross-PR migration
ordering requirement.

DottaandPaperclip 454edfe81e Add recovery handoff system notices (#5289)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Agent runs can end productively while the source issue still lacks a
durable final disposition.
> - That leaves the control plane unsure whether to resume, escalate, or
close the work.
> - Issue comments also need a presentation contract so system-authored
recovery notices can render as first-class thread messages without
overloading normal comments.
> - This pull request adds successful-run handoff recovery, comment
presentation metadata, and system notice rendering.
> - The benefit is stricter task liveness with clearer operator-facing
recovery state.

## What Changed

- Added successful-run handoff decisions, wake payloads, escalation
behavior, and recovery tests.
- Added issue comment presentation metadata with migration
`0078_white_darwin.sql` and shared/server/company portability support.
- Rendered recovery/system notices in issue chat with dedicated UI
components, fixtures, tests, and storybook/lab coverage.
- Included the current recovery model-profile hint patch so automatic
recovery follow-ups use the cheap profile.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
ui/src/components/SystemNotice.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/system-notice-comment.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx`

## Risks

- Migration-bearing PR: merge this before any other branch that might
later add a migration.
- The branch touches both recovery services and issue-thread rendering,
so review should pay attention to recovery wake idempotency and comment
metadata compatibility.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-5 Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` adapter, with
shell/git/GitHub CLI tool use.
