## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - This change touches several already-shipped subsystems —
document-comment annotations, the selected-agent Conference Room chat
surface, routine description annotations, workspace-operation tracking,
and the board polling/inbox UI
> - A batch of incremental fixes and two small backend additions had
accumulated on a local mainline and were deployed to a live instance,
but never landed upstream — so each `origin/master` sync kept
re-diverging
> - Leaving them un-upstreamed means the same delta has to be re-merged
on every sync and risks being lost or silently reverted
> - This pull request rebases that delta cleanly on top of current
`origin/master` (preserving recent upstream work such as reusable
sandbox leases and the relation-list collapse controls) and brings it up
for review
> - The benefit is that mainline and the deployed instance converge, and
these fixes/additions get normal review + CI + Greptile coverage
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No single GitHub issue tracks this; it is a bundle of bug fixes and two
small feature additions. Following the issue-template fields:
**Bug fixes (what was wrong → what this does):**
- Document comments rendered out of document order, didn't live-update
across clients, swallowed save failures, and lost the markdown text
selection on re-render. Now: doc-order sort, live updates, surfaced
save-failure state, stable selection across re-renders.
- The board polling hot path returned oversized payloads on every poll.
Now: an opt-in `summary` projection trims the heartbeat-run list
payload.
- Assorted UI fixes: sidebar nav peek/streamlining edge cases, markdown
file-viewer re-mount/line-height issues on iOS Safari, inbox badge/skill
deep-link tab selection, and `⌘.` work-mode cycling on iOS.
**Feature additions:**
- `workspace_operations.issue_id` — associate a workspace operation with
the issue that triggered it (new migration `0106`, schema, service,
shared type).
- Routine **description annotations** — comment threads on a routine's
description document, mirroring issue document annotations (new
migration `0107`, `routine_documents` schema, routes/service,
editable-sections UI).
- Selected-agent **Conference Room chat** surface wiring and live
issue-thread updates.
**Related PR:** #8229 (`feat(control-plane): add annotation and
workspace controls`, draft) covers overlapping
annotation/workspace-control territory — flagging it so a reviewer can
reconcile the two rather than double-merging.
## What Changed
- `feat(workspace)`: `workspace_operations.issue_id` migration +
schema/service/type; issue workspace property controls reconciled with
upstream's evolved "Service" row.
- `feat(routines)`: routine description annotations —
`routine_documents` schema, migration `0107`, routes/service,
`editable-sections` UI.
- `fix(document-comments)`: doc-order sort, live updates, save-failure
surfacing, stable markdown selection (+ storybook story, rerender test).
- `feat(chat)`: selected-agent Conference Room chat surface and live
issue-thread updates (`LiveUpdatesProvider`, `issue-chat-messages`,
interactions service).
- `perf(board)`: opt-in `summary` projection for the board
polling/heartbeat-run list payload, plus assorted sidebar / file-viewer
/ inbox / IssueProperties UI fixes.
Organized into 5 logical commits. Migrations are numbered incrementally
after upstream's latest (`0105`) — `0106` then `0107`, no journal
collision.
## Verification
- Built by 3-way merging the deployed delta onto current
`origin/master`; the only merge conflict (`IssueProperties.test.tsx`,
two adjacent test blocks) was resolved in favor of upstream's evolved
"green service link above the workspace row" layout, which matches the
merged component's rendered output.
- Confirmed recent upstream work is preserved post-merge: reusable
sandbox lease teardown (`#8513`), the IssueProperties relation-list
collapse controls, and the sidebar streamlined-nav default.
- Confirmed the net diff vs `origin/master` is exactly the intended
feature delta (65 files) and that overlapping server files (`issues.ts`,
`agents.ts`, `heartbeat.ts`) only add feature code without disturbing
upstream logic.
- This delta is already running on a live deployed instance.
- Full typecheck/test suite + Greptile to run in CI (see checklist).
## Risks
- Two new migrations (`0106`, `0107`). Both are additive (new table /
new nullable column) and ordered after upstream's `0105`; no data
backfill, low risk. If another migration-bearing PR merges first,
renumber before merge.
- Largest blast radius is in the merged overlapping UI/service files;
covered by the existing test suites for those files plus CI.
- Overlaps thematically with draft PR #8229 — reviewers should reconcile
rather than merge both blindly.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI agents, issues, approvals, comments, and work products.
> - The involved subsystem is issue context: markdown links, issue
properties, related work, lists, filters, inbox/sidebar status, and
plugin-provided external context.
> - The gap is that URLs to external systems currently remain mostly
plain links, so humans and agents must manually open them to understand
status, identity, and liveness.
> - This matters because external work objects such as GitHub issues and
pull requests are part of the operational state of a Paperclip company.
> - The implementation keeps core provider-neutral: shared contracts,
storage, sync, routes, and UI surfaces live in core while providers can
contribute detection and status resolution.
> - This pull request adds the external object reference foundation,
GitHub provider support, issue-surface rendering, filters,
sidebar/list/inbox signals, and test/story coverage.
> - The benefit is that linked external work becomes inspectable
Paperclip context without hardcoding every provider directly into the
UI.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this work.
Feature request:
- Problem: URLs in Paperclip issues, comments, documents, and related
surfaces do not expose provider status or object identity inline.
- Proposed behavior: detect supported external object URLs, persist
normalized references, refresh provider status, and render concise
status-aware links across issue surfaces.
- Users affected: board users, agents, and maintainers who triage issues
containing external work links.
- Acceptance: external object references are company-scoped,
provider-extensible, visible in key issue surfaces, filterable where
relevant, and covered by focused shared/server/UI tests.
Related PR search:
- No open duplicate PRs found for `external object references`.
- Closed related prior attempt: #4556.
## What Changed
- Added shared external-object contracts, validators, status/liveness
helpers, and plugin protocol declarations.
- Added database schema and additive migrations for external objects,
source mentions, and display metadata.
- Added server services/routes for detecting, syncing, summarizing,
refreshing, and resolving external objects across issues, documents,
comments, projects, and plugins.
- Added a GitHub external-object provider plus plugin SDK authoring
docs.
- Wired UI presentation across markdown links, comments, issue chat,
documents, properties, related work, issue rows, filters, inbox/sidebar
badges, and Storybook stories.
- Rebasing cleanup: moved the branch onto current `master`, repaired
stale worktree provision config, hardened environment-sensitive
tests/mocks, and removed committed screenshot artifacts from the PR
branch to keep the reviewable file set below tool limits.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/external-objects.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/external-object-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/external-objects-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/ExternalObjectPill.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/external-objects.test.ts` passed after rebasing: 5 files, 56
tests.
- Historical branch verification before this PR creation included `pnpm
test:run`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, and `pnpm build`; this PR body does not
claim those were rerun after the final rebase.
## Risks
- Medium: this adds a new cross-surface sync path on
issue/document/comment writes. The implementation uses safe sync
wrappers so external-object failures warn instead of blocking core
mutations.
- Medium: the migrations introduce new tables and indexes. They are
additive and company-scoped.
- Medium: provider-specific URL parsing can miss or misclassify edge
cases. Shared canonicalization tests and provider tests cover current
GitHub shapes.
- Low: UI badge/filter behavior could add visual noise for object-heavy
issues; component tests and Storybook stories cover the intended
surfaces.
> Roadmap checked: `ROADMAP.md` references the plugin system as the
current extension path and does not list a duplicate core feature.
Related long-range docs discuss external references, work products,
preview URLs, and plugin extension points; this PR implements the scoped
external-object reference foundation.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding-agent runtime, with shell and GitHub CLI tool
use. Reasoning mode: medium. Exact deployed runtime model ID and context
window were not exposed in the environment.

## Thinking Path

work

runtime, each branched from a configured base ref (typically the repo's
default branch)

(committed but unpushed work, or local-only commits), a freshly created
worktree inherits that divergence — so an unrelated task branch silently

unrelated changes from a diverged local master
> - The base for a fresh worktree should be resolved authoritatively to
the remote-tracking ref (`origin/<branch>`), and an idle/unstarted
reused worktree should be safely fast-forwarded — without ever
destroying in-progress work
> - This pull request makes both behaviors explicit in the workspace
runtime
> - The benefit is that task branches start from a clean, authoritative
base, eliminating accidental inclusion of unrelated local changes
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
This is a bug fix. No public GitHub issue exists, so describing it
inline following the Bug Report template:
**What happened**
A task intended to change only docs produced a PR that also contained
unrelated changes pulled in from `master`.
The root cause: when a new worktree is created from a configured local
branch (e.g. `master`), the worktree inherits whatever that local branch
points at. If the local `master` has committed divergence from
`origin/master` (unpushed or local-only commits), that divergence leaks
into the new task branch. The leak comes from committed
local-vs-`origin/master` ref drift, not uncommitted working-tree changes
(each worktree has its own working tree).
**Expected behavior**
A fresh worktree should be based on the authoritative `origin/master`
head so unrelated local commits never seed a task branch.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Have a local `master` that is ahead of `origin/master` (committed but
unpushed work).
2. Create a new worktree/task branched from `master` via the workspace
runtime.
3. Open a PR from that branch — it carries the unrelated local commits.
**Deployment mode**
Self-hosted / local workspace runtime.
## What Changed
- Fresh worktrees now resolve their base ref authoritatively: a
configured local branch (e.g. `"master"`) is mapped to its
`origin/<branch>` remote-tracking counterpart so unpushed/ahead local
commits can never seed a task branch. Remote-tracking refs, SHAs, and
tags are used verbatim; an unset/`HEAD` base falls back to the detected
default branch. The resolved ref is recorded (`repoRef`) so downstream
drift checks stay accurate.
- If a configured local branch has no matching `origin/<branch>`, the
runtime warns and falls back to the local ref rather than failing.
- On reuse, a *provably unstarted* worktree (no commits past base +
clean tree including untracked files) is fast-forwarded to the latest
`origin/master`. Started or dirty worktrees keep the prior warn-only
behavior, so in-progress work is never reset. Only remote-tracking bases
are eligible for the refresh.
## Verification
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`
- 5 new tests cover: local-branch→`origin/<branch>` mapping, no-remote
fallback warning, unstarted-reuse fast-forward, and that started/dirty
worktrees are left untouched.
- Result: 65 passed. 1 pre-existing failure (`auto-detects the default
branch via symbolic-ref when origin/HEAD is set`) is unrelated to this
change and fails only due to the test host's git default-branch config
(test setup runs `git push -u origin main master` but the local default
branch is `main`); it also fails on `master`.
## Risks
- Low risk. The refresh path is intentionally conservative: it only
fast-forwards worktrees that are provably unstarted (zero commits past
base and a fully clean tree, including untracked files) and only when
the base is a remote-tracking ref. Started or dirty worktrees fall
through to the existing warn-only drift behavior, so no in-progress work
can be destroyed.
- Behavioral shift: fresh worktrees configured against a local branch
will now base on `origin/<branch>` instead of the local ref. This is the
intended fix; the only case it changes is when local and remote have
diverged.

via Claude Code).

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent work is issue-centered, and reviewers often need to inspect
files, artifacts, and path references produced during that work.
> - Before this branch, workspace-relative paths and artifact file
references were not first-class inspectable objects in the board UI.
> - Safe file viewing needs shared resource contracts, server-side
workspace boundary checks, and UI that opens files without exposing
arbitrary host paths.
> - The workspace file viewer branch needed to stay as one active PR and
be rebased onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master` for review.
> - This pull request adds the workspace file resource API, issue-page
file viewer and browser, markdown file-reference links, and artifact
file chips.
> - The benefit is that board users can inspect relevant files from
issue context while preserving workspace boundaries and auditability.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this branch. Internal Paperclip
issues: `PAP-1953`, `PAP-10539`, `PAP-10733`.
Problem / motivation:
- Board users need to open workspace-relative files mentioned by agents
or attached as work-product metadata without switching to a terminal.
- The UI needs to support both direct file-path opening and workspace
browsing/searching from an issue page.
- The server must enforce company access, workspace boundaries, size
limits, rate limits, and safe audit logging.
Related PR:
- Prior closed attempt: #4442
- Single active PR for this branch: #7681
## What Changed
- Added shared workspace file resource types, validators, and
workspace-file `resourceRef` metadata validation for work products.
- Added server routes/services for resolving, listing, and previewing
workspace-relative files with access checks, scan caps, list-specific
limits, and audit logging.
- Added the issue file viewer provider, sheet, workspace browser,
command-palette action, markdown workspace-file autolinks, and artifact
file chips.
- Updated issue workspace UI and stories/tests for file browsing and
workspace file opening.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master` and
updated the existing single PR branch.
- Addressed current-head Greptile follow-ups by applying `offset`
consistently across search/recent/changed file listings, restoring
stopped-service port ownership checks before auto-port reuse, and
stabilizing the workspace browser pagination test.
## Verification
Current local verification after rebase to `public/master`:
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/work-product.test.ts

- `pnpm -r --filter @paperclipai/shared --filter @paperclipai/server
--filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` - passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/WorkspaceFileBrowser.test.tsx`
- 1 file passed, 25 tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/file-resources.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` - 2 files passed, 90
tests passed.
- `pnpm -r --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` - passed.
- Confirmed branch is `0` behind and `46` ahead of current
`public/master` after rebase and follow-up commits.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
- Confirmed the PR diff does not include `.github/workflows` changes.
- Searched GitHub for duplicate or related workspace file viewer
PRs/issues; #4442 is the prior closed attempt and this PR is the single
active PR for the branch.
- No screenshots were committed; the task explicitly asked not to add
design screenshots or images unless they were part of the work.
Current remote verification on head
`a698a7bc10137baf7d25bd5722e1d6e0343387c1`:
- Greptile Review - success, 64 files reviewed, 0 comments added, no
unresolved Greptile review threads.
- PR workflow `verify` - success.
- Typecheck + Release Registry, General tests, workspace test shards,
serialized server suites, Build, Canary Dry Run, e2e, Socket, and Snyk -
success.
- `security-review` - neutral, with output saying a draft advisory was
filed for maintainer review and is not a merge block.
- `commitperclip PR Review / review` - cancelled after the security gate
detected flags and timed out while creating/reviewing the advisory. I
reran it once and it cancelled the same way; no actionable code/test
failure was exposed in the job logs.
## Risks
- This is a broad UI/server feature PR, so review needs to pay attention
to route authorization, workspace boundary handling, and markdown
autolink false positives.
- Workspace browsing intentionally caps list results and scan depth;
very large workspaces may require users to refine search terms.
- Remote workspace preview remains unavailable until remote file-access
support is implemented.
- The neutral commitperclip security-review advisory needs maintainer
review, but the check output says it is not a merge block.
> 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, GPT-5 coding agent in a Paperclip/Codex local tool-use
environment, medium reasoning, with shell/GitHub CLI tool use for branch
inspection, verification, rebase, PR update, Greptile review, and CI
inspection.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies through
company-scoped control-plane workflows.
> - Agents need reusable, inspectable skills that can be installed,
reset, audited, exported, and assigned without bespoke local setup.
> - The existing skill truth model needed cleanup so bundled skills,
optional catalog skills, runtime skills, and adapter-provided skills
have clear provenance.
> - Operators also need a practical CLI and board UI for discovering and
managing company skills.
> - This pull request adds the skills CLI, packaged skills catalog,
company skills APIs, and catalog-aware board UI.
> - The benefit is a more reusable Paperclip company setup where skills
are portable, auditable, and easier for operators and agents to manage.
## What Changed
- Added `paperclipai skills` CLI commands and coverage for catalog
listing, installing, resetting, and inspecting company skills.
- Added a packaged `@paperclipai/skills-catalog` workspace with bundled
and optional skill content plus validation/build tests.
- Added shared company-skill types and validators used across CLI,
server, and UI contracts.
- Added server catalog APIs/services for company skill catalog
operations, reset semantics, audit behavior, and portability provenance.
- Updated adapter skill handling so runtime/catalog provenance remains
explicit across local adapters.
- Added board UI support for browsing and managing catalog-backed
company skills.
- Updated docs for the skills CLI/catalog flow and the company skills
Paperclip skill reference.
- Rebased the branch onto current `paperclipai/paperclip:master`; no
`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `.github/workflows`, or migration files are included
in the final PR diff.
## Verification
- Passed: `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/skills.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/catalog-builder.test.ts
packages/skills-catalog/src/shipped-catalog.test.ts

packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/plugins/create-paperclip-plugin/src/entrypoints.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-catalog-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts`.
- Passed: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t "default
branch|origin/master|symbolic-ref"`.
- Attempted: full `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts`. Four
provisioning tests failed while seeding an isolated worktree database
from the local Paperclip instance because the local plugin schema dump
contains a duplicate-column foreign key
(`plugin_content_machine_18a7bc327b.content_case_signals`). The
default-branch tests touched by the rebase conflict passed in the
focused run above.
- Checked final diff: no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no `.github/workflows`, and
no migration-file changes relative to `master`.
## Risks
- Medium: this is a broad skills/catalog change touching CLI, server
APIs, shared contracts, adapter skill sync, and UI.
- Catalog validation and reset semantics need careful reviewer attention
because they affect reusable company setup and portability.
- No database migrations are included in this PR, so there is no
migration ordering/idempotency risk in the final diff.
- No lockfile is included by design; dependency resolution will be
handled by the repository lockfile workflow.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, running in Paperclip via the
`codex_local` adapter with shell, git, GitHub CLI, and code-editing tool
access. Exact hosted model build/context-window metadata is not exposed
in this runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The plugin system is how Paperclip exposes optional capabilities and
integrations without bloating the control plane.
> - Operators need the Instance Settings plugin manager to show both
installed external plugins and bundled built-in plugins.
> - Bundled plugins were available in the server/UI surface but were not
represented consistently in the plugin manager list.
> - Workspace runtime reuse also needed to stay pinned to the current
branch/base so the plugin manager can be validated from the intended
checkout.
> - This pull request shows bundled plugins in the manager, marks
experimental bundled plugins clearly, and tightens runtime/worktree
reuse guards.
> - The benefit is that operators can discover bundled plugins from the
same management screen as installed plugins without stale workspace
sessions hiding the latest branch state.
## What Changed
- Lists bundled monorepo plugin packages through the plugin routes API,
including plugin status and install metadata needed by the UI.
- Updates the plugin manager UI/API client to render bundled plugins and
display experimental badges based on installed plugin records.
- Adds server authorization coverage around plugin routes so board and
agent access stay company-scoped.
- Guards execution workspace/runtime reuse against stale base refs and
defaults new worktrees to the fetched target base.
- Expands workspace runtime tests for service reuse, stale workspace
prevention, and controlled runtime stops.
- Addressed Greptile feedback by respecting `origin/HEAD`, using async
cached bundled-plugin discovery, and avoiding duplicated UI experimental
plugin lists.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane operators use repeatedly to supervise
agent companies.
> - Common operator workflows depend on fast scanning of inboxes, issue
sidebars, workspaces, cost totals, and runtime services.
> - Several small UI and service gaps made those workflows slower or
less clear.
> - This pull request groups the operator-facing QoL changes that can
stand alone from recovery and adapter work.
> - The benefit is a denser, clearer board experience for issue triage
and workspace operation.
## What Changed
- Added inbox assignee/project grouping and issue list token/runtime
totals.
- Improved issue properties with removable blocker chips and workspace
task links.
- Improved execution workspace layout, runtime controls, issues tab
default, and stopped-port reuse behavior.
- Added mobile markdown/routine dialog fixes, page title company names,
sidebar polish, and dashboard run task label cleanup.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/costs-service.test.ts`
## Risks
- Medium UI risk because this touches several operator surfaces. The
branch is intentionally grouped around workflow/QoL files and keeps the
file count below the Greptile limit.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-5 Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` adapter, with
shell/git/GitHub CLI tool use.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - A fast-moving control plane needs stable local tests and repeatable
local maintenance tools so contributors can safely split and review work
> - Several route suites needed stronger isolation, Codex manual model
selection needed a faster-mode option, and local browser cleanup missed
Playwright's headless shell binary
> - Storybook static output also needed to be preserved as a generated
review artifact from the working branch
> - This pull request groups the test/local-dev maintenance pieces so
they can be reviewed separately from product runtime changes
> - The benefit is more predictable contributor verification and cleaner
local maintenance without mixing these changes into feature PRs
## What Changed
- Added stable Vitest runner support and serialized route/authz test
isolation.
- Fixed workspace runtime authz route mocks and stabilized
Claude/company-import related assertions.
- Allowed Codex fast mode for manually selected models.
- Broadened the agent browser cleanup script to detect
`chrome-headless-shell` as well as Chrome for Testing.
- Preserved generated Storybook static output from the source branch.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-routes-authz.test.ts
src/__tests__/claude-local-execute.test.ts --config vitest.config.ts`
from `server/` passed: 2 files, 19 tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/server/codex-args.test.ts --config
vitest.config.ts` from `packages/adapters/codex-local/` passed: 1 file,
3 tests.
- `bash -n scripts/kill-agent-browsers.sh &&
scripts/kill-agent-browsers.sh --dry` passed; dry-run detected
`chrome-headless-shell` processes without killing them.
- `test -f ui/storybook-static/index.html && test -f
ui/storybook-static/assets/forms-editors.stories-Dry7qwx2.js` passed.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master..pap-2228-test-local-maintenance --
. ':(exclude)ui/storybook-static'` passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts --config
cli/vitest.config.ts` did not complete in the isolated split worktree
because `paperclipai run` exited during build prep with `TS2688: Cannot
find type definition file for 'react'`; this appears to be caused by the
worktree dependency symlink setup, not the code under test.
- Confirmed this PR does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: the stable Vitest runner changes how route/authz tests
are scheduled.
- Generated `ui/storybook-static` files are large and contain minified
third-party output; `git diff --check` reports whitespace inside those
generated assets, so reviewers may choose to drop or regenerate that
artifact before merge.
- No database migrations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents inside execution and project
workspaces
> - Workspace runtime services can be controlled manually by operators
and reused by agent runs
> - Manual start/stop state was not preserved consistently across
workspace policies and routine launches
> - Routine launches also needed branch/workspace variables to default
from the selected workspace context
> - This pull request makes runtime policy state explicit, preserves
manual control, and auto-fills routine branch variables from workspace
data
> - The benefit is less surprising workspace service behavior and fewer
manual inputs when running workspace-scoped routines
## What Changed
- Added runtime-state handling for manual workspace control across
execution and project workspace validators, routes, and services.
- Updated heartbeat/runtime startup behavior so manually stopped
services are respected.
- Auto-filled routine workspace branch variables from available
workspace context.
- Added focused server and UI tests for workspace runtime and routine
variable behavior.
- Removed muted gray background styling from workspace pages and cards
for a cleaner workspace UI.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
ui/src/components/RoutineRunVariablesDialog.test.tsx`
- Result: 55 tests passed, 21 skipped. The embedded Postgres routines
tests skipped on this host with the existing PGlite/Postgres init
warning; workspace-runtime and UI tests passed.
## Risks
- Medium risk: this touches runtime service start/stop policy and
heartbeat launch behavior.
- The focused tests cover manual runtime state, routine variables, and
workspace runtime reuse paths.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a local-first control plane for AI-agent companies.
> - Operators need predictable local dev behavior, recoverable instance
data, and scripts that do not churn the running app.
> - Several accumulated changes improve backup streaming, dev-server
health, static UI caching/logging, diagnostic-file ignores, and instance
isolation.
> - These are operational improvements that can land independently from
product UI work.
> - This pull request groups the dev-infra and backup changes from the
split branch into one standalone branch.
> - The benefit is safer local operation, easier manual backups, less
noisy dev output, and less cross-instance auth leakage.
## What Changed
- Added a manual instance database backup endpoint and route tests.
- Streamed backup/restore handling to avoid materializing large payloads
at once.
- Reduced dev static UI log/cache churn and ignored Node diagnostic
report captures.
- Added guarded dev auto-restart health polling coverage.
- Preserved worktree config during provisioning and scoped auth cookies
by instance.
- Added a Discord daily digest helper script and environment
documentation.
- Hardened adapter-route and startup feedback export tests around the
changed infrastructure.
## Verification
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/db/src/backup-lib.test.ts

- Split integration check: merged after the runtime/governance branch
and before UI branches with no merge conflicts.
- Confirmed this branch does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.
## Risks
- Medium risk: touches server startup, backup streaming, auth cookie
naming, dev health checks, and worktree provisioning.
- Backup endpoint behavior depends on existing board/admin access
controls and database backup helpers.
- No database migrations are included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - That operator experience depends not just on issue chat, but also on
how workspaces, inbox groups, and navigation state behave over
long-running sessions
> - The current branch included a separate cluster of workspace-runtime
controls, inbox grouping, sidebar ordering, and worktree lifecycle fixes
> - Those changes cross server, shared contracts, database state, and UI
navigation, but they still form one coherent operator workflow area
> - This pull request isolates the workspace/runtime and navigation
ergonomics work into one standalone branch
> - The benefit is better workspace recovery and navigation persistence
without forcing reviewers through the unrelated issue-detail/chat work
## What Changed
- Improved execution workspace and project workspace controls, request
wiring, layout, and JSON editor ergonomics
- Hardened linked worktree reuse/startup behavior and documented the
`worktree repair` flow for recovering linked worktrees safely
- Added inbox workspace grouping, mobile collapse, archive undo,
keyboard navigation, shared group-header styling, and persisted
collapsed-group behavior
- Added persistent sidebar order preferences with the supporting DB
migration, shared/server contracts, routes, services, hooks, and UI
integration
- Scoped issue-list preferences by context and added targeted UI/server
tests for workspace controls, inbox behavior, sidebar preferences, and
worktree validation
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/sidebar-preferences-routes.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx
ui/src/components/ProjectWorkspaceSummaryCard.test.tsx
ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx
ui/src/api/workspace-runtime-control.test.ts`
- `server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` was attempted, but
the embedded Postgres suite self-skipped/hung on this host after
reporting an init-script issue, so it is not counted as a local pass
here
## Risks
- Medium: this branch includes migration-backed preference storage plus
worktree/runtime behavior, so merge review should pay attention to state
persistence and worktree recovery semantics
- The sidebar preference migration is standalone, but it should still be
watched for conflicts if another migration lands first
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent (GPT-5-class runtime in Codex CLI; exact
deployed model ID is not exposed in this environment), reasoning
enabled, tool use and local code execution enabled

Supersedes #2499.
## Thinking Path
1. **Project context**: Paperclip uses a markdown editor
(`MarkdownEditor`) for document editing. Users expect to paste
markdown-formatted text from external sources (like code editors, other
documents) and have it render correctly.
2. **Problem identification**: When users paste plain text containing
markdown syntax (e.g., `# Heading`, `- list item`), the editor was
treating it as plain text, resulting in raw markdown syntax being
displayed rather than formatted content.
3. **Root cause**: The default browser paste behavior doesn't recognize
markdown syntax in plain text. The editor needed to intercept paste
events and detect when the clipboard content looks like markdown.
4. **Solution design**:
- Create a utility (`markdownPaste.ts`) to detect markdown patterns in
plain text
- Add a paste capture handler in `MarkdownEditor` that intercepts paste
events
- When markdown is detected, prevent default paste and use
`insertMarkdown` instead
- Handle edge cases (code blocks, file pastes, HTML content)
## What
- Added `ui/src/lib/markdownPaste.ts`: Utility to detect markdown
patterns and normalize line endings
- Added `ui/src/lib/markdownPaste.test.ts`: Test coverage for markdown
detection
- Modified `ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.tsx`: Added paste capture
handler to intercept and handle markdown paste
## Why
Users frequently copy markdown content from various sources (GitHub,
documentation, notes) and expect it to render correctly when pasted into
the editor. Without this fix, users see raw markdown syntax (e.g., `#
Title` instead of a formatted heading), which degrades the editing
experience.
## How to Verify
1. Open any document in Paperclip
2. Copy markdown text from an external source (e.g., `# Heading\n\n-
Item 1\n- Item 2`)
3. Paste into the editor
4. **Expected**: The content should render as formatted markdown
(heading + bullet list), not as plain text with markdown syntax
### Test Coverage
```bash
cd ui
npm test -- markdownPaste.test.ts
```
All tests should pass, including:
- Windows line ending normalization (`\r\n` → `\n`)
- Old-Mac line ending normalization (`\r` → `\n`)
- Markdown block detection (headings, lists, code fences, etc.)
- Plain text rejection (non-markdown content)
## Risks
1. **False positives**: Plain text containing markdown-like characters
(e.g., a paragraph starting with `#` as a hashtag) may be incorrectly
treated as markdown. The detection uses a heuristic that requires
block-level markdown patterns, which reduces but doesn't eliminate this
risk.
2. **Removed focus guard**: The previous implementation used
`isFocusedRef` to prevent `onChange` from firing during programmatic
`setMarkdown` calls. This guard was removed as part of refactoring. The
assumption is that MDXEditor does not fire `onChange` during
`setMarkdown`, but this should be monitored for unexpected parent update
loops.
3. **Clipboard compatibility**: The paste handler specifically looks for
`text/plain` content and ignores `text/html` (to preserve existing HTML
paste behavior). This means pasting from rich text editors that provide
both HTML and plain text will continue to use the HTML path, which may
or may not be the desired behavior.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents run shell commands during workspace provisioning (git
worktree creation, runtime services)
> - When `process.env.SHELL` is unset, the code falls back to `/bin/sh`
> - But on Windows with Git Bash, `/bin/sh` doesn't exist as an absolute
path — Git Bash provides `sh` on PATH instead
> - This causes `child_process.spawn` to throw `ENOENT`, crashing
workspace provisioning on Windows
> - This PR extracts a `resolveShell()` helper that uses `$SHELL` when
set, falls back to `sh` (bare) on Windows or `/bin/sh` on Unix
> - The benefit is that agents running on Windows via Git Bash can
provision workspaces without shell resolution errors
## Summary
- `workspace-runtime.ts` falls back to `/bin/sh` when
`process.env.SHELL` is unset
- On Windows, `/bin/sh` doesn't exist → `spawn /bin/sh ENOENT`
- Fix: extract `resolveShell()` helper that uses `$SHELL` when set,
falls back to `sh` on Windows (Git Bash PATH lookup) or `/bin/sh` on
Unix
Three call sites updated to use the new helper.
Fixes#892
## Root cause
When Paperclip spawns shell commands in workspace operations (e.g., git
worktree creation), it uses `process.env.SHELL` if set, otherwise
defaults to `/bin/sh`. On Windows with Git Bash, `$SHELL` is typically
unset and `/bin/sh` is not a valid path — Git Bash provides `sh` on PATH
but not at the absolute `/bin/sh` location. This causes
`child_process.spawn` to throw `ENOENT`.
## Approach
Rather than hard-coding a Windows-specific absolute path (e.g.,
`C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe`), we use the bare `"sh"` command which
relies on PATH resolution. This works because:
1. Git Bash adds its `usr/bin` directory to PATH, making `sh` resolvable
2. On Unix/macOS, `/bin/sh` remains the correct default (it's the POSIX
standard location)
3. `process.env.SHELL` takes priority when set, so this only affects the
fallback
## Test plan
- [x] 7 unit tests for `resolveShell()`: SHELL set, trimmed, empty,
whitespace-only, linux/darwin/win32 fallbacks
- [x] Run a workspace provision command on Windows with `git_worktree`
strategy
- [x] Verify Unix/macOS is unaffected

* fix: auto-detect default branch for worktree creation when baseRef not configured
When creating git worktrees, if no explicit baseRef is configured in
the project workspace strategy and no repoRef is set, the system now
auto-detects the repository's default branch instead of blindly
falling back to "HEAD".
Detection strategy:
1. Check refs/remotes/origin/HEAD (set by git clone / remote set-head)
2. Fall back to probing refs/remotes/origin/main, then origin/master
3. Final fallback: HEAD (preserves existing behavior)
This prevents failures like "fatal: invalid reference: main" when a
project's workspace strategy has no baseRef and the repo uses a
non-standard default branch name.

* fix: address Greptile review - fix misleading comment and add symbolic-ref test
- Corrected comment to clarify that the existing test exercises the
heuristic fallback path (not symbolic-ref)
- Added new test case that explicitly sets refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
via `git remote set-head` to exercise the symbolic-ref code path
