DottaandPaperclip e095b84dab feat(connections): connect services from native task feeds (#13058)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use connections to reach external services.
> - A fresh native task can have no service tools installed.
> - The agent needs a way to discover services and ask the responsible
person for access.
> - This pull request brings the existing connection-intent flow into
native task execution.
> - The person can connect from the task, and the agent can continue
with updated tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner tool authority, connection intents, task interactions, and
shared connection setup.

**Problem or motivation**

A task that needs an unconnected service cannot finish its work. Leaving
the task to configure access also loses context. A resolved request must
survive a restart and resume the correct agent once.

**Proposed solution**

Expose connection discovery and access requests as server-owned native
tools. Render a durable task card and use the shared setup dialog.
Persist outcome delivery and start a fresh provider session after access
is ready.

**Alternatives considered**

Sending the person to the Connections page adds navigation and does not
solve continuation. Polling for authorization consumes runs and can
create duplicate requests.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing connection-intent runtime and setup
experience. It reuses the shared access model and the native runner.

Related: #12345, #12347. The service-slug fix in #12906 is related but
separate. Companion evaluation PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/21.

## What Changed

- Expose `connections_search` and `connection_request` with server-bound
company, task, agent, and responsible user. Preserve the legacy entry
points.
- Discover catalog services and authorized custom connections. Check
installation, identity, health, and executable permissions before
reporting ready.
- Keep pending cards through ordinary messages. Reuse requests and
retire stale ownership. Put Connect at the right of Not now.
- Reuse the shared setup flow in a task dialog. Keep access additive and
default to the requesting agent. Recover from cancelled or blocked OAuth
windows with a new-tab fallback.
- Persist outcome delivery with an idempotent wake key. Resume in a
fresh session and recheck ownership before dispatch.
- Add native browser fixtures, offline Storybook states, server
contracts, and evaluation fixtures. Update guidance and documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm build`: passed after replaying the change on current master.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook`: passed.
- New continuation-policy regression cases: 16 passed.
- Docker-backed PostgreSQL regressions passed for requester-only OAuth
access, assignment-only expiry, terminal expiry, and credential-free
setup metadata.
- Shared setup and task-card UI tests: 121 passed, including configured
MCP reconnect URL recovery and preserving user edits across refetch.
- Storybook browser checks: all 119 passed on the latest reconnect fix.
- `pnpm test:run`: 4,734 tests passed in the first server group, but
embedded PostgreSQL startup failures and resulting cleanup errors
prevented a complete local pass. All Linux CI lanes passed on the latest
reviewed commit. One external-object route test returned an unexplained
500 on the first run; it passed twice locally and the failed shard
passed on retry without code changes.
- Earlier feature-checkout evidence: three deterministic native browser
journeys passed, including restart delivery and an actual fixture tool
result. Legacy scripted coverage also passed. All 59 added stories were
inspected in light and dark themes.
- Live Notion testing recorded successful provider reads. The manual
test used a local-trusted instance. It does not prove
authenticated/cloud deployment or every provider journey.
- Native browser rerun reached the embedded PostgreSQL startup limit
before bootstrap, so the latest checkout’s full native browser journey
remains unverified. Both OAuth page/task regression cases passed against
isolated Docker-backed PostgreSQL 17. They verify no premature task
access, requester-only completion, additive retries, and reconnect
preservation.
- Applied both new migrations twice to isolated PostgreSQL 17. Foreign
keys remained intact, duplicate active delivery keys were rejected, and
failed delivery records did not block retries.

Reviewer path: start a fresh test drive, enable the native runner, use
an agent that can perform work directly, and ask it to summarize a
Notion page. Connect from the card, then verify the resumed provider
call and source-linked answer. The default test-drive CEO is instructed
to delegate, so it can introduce an unrelated hiring step.

## Risks

- Two additive migrations create durable deliveries and a partial unique
wake index. They are idempotent. The wake index can require a
maintenance window on large tables because migrations run in a
transaction.
- OAuth and continuation cross asynchronous boundaries. Tests cover
ownership changes, retries, additive access, and restart delivery; live
provider behavior still varies.
- The latest requester-scope fix has not yet been exercised through live
OAuth. GitHub, API-key, authenticated-user, and all recovery journeys
are not claimed as verified.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6-based Codex assisted with implementation, tests, and review
using tools and code execution. The runtime does not expose the exact
model version, context window, or reasoning setting. Live evaluation
used `gpt-5.6-luna`; manual native testing used `gpt-5.6-sol`.

5b56d430e9 feat(ui): refine core navigation and task detail (#12854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The main navigation and task detail view are core operator surfaces.
> - Several controls used different hover states, popover layouts, and
spacing rules.
> - Recent task actions also needed a compact menu and correct inbox
archive behavior.
> - These differences made the interface feel inconsistent and caused
some content to look crowded or clipped.
> - This pull request aligns these surfaces with the Paperclip design
tokens and current interaction patterns.
> - The benefit is a simpler and more consistent operator experience in
light and dark modes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Profile and organization popovers used inconsistent layouts. Navigation
controls used different hover and selected backgrounds. Task warnings
and the composer could crowd nearby content. Archiving a recent task
could also remove it from more than the inbox.

**Expected behavior**

Popover menus should use the same compact visual language. Navigation
controls should share readable hover and selected tokens. Task detail
content should keep consistent spacing. Archiving should hide a task
from the inbox while keeping it in the task list.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open the main sidebar in light or dark mode.
2. Open the profile and organization menus.
3. Hover navigation items, the organization trigger, the profile
trigger, and the feedback flag.
4. Open a task with a warning banner and a long thread.
5. Use the recent task overflow menu and archive a task.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` before this branch.

**Deployment mode**

Local dev (`pnpm dev`).

## What Changed

- Rebuilt the profile and organization popovers with compact token-based
layouts.
- Matched organization popover width and alignment to the profile
popover.
- Unified sidebar hover and selected states in light and dark modes.
- Added a recent task overflow menu with rename, archive, and pause or
restart actions.
- Kept archived tasks in the task list while removing them from the
inbox.
- Improved warning banner and composer spacing in task detail views.
- Added and updated focused UI tests for the changed behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed.
- The seven affected UI test files passed with 216 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` passed.
- GitHub CI passed the full build, typecheck and release registry,
general test, serialized server, canary dry-run, and end-to-end
matrices.
- Greptile reviewed commit `6e296be85` at 5/5 with no outstanding
actionable findings.

## Risks

- Risk is limited to sidebar presentation, recent task actions, and task
detail layout.
- The recent task archive action now follows inbox-only archive
semantics.
- No database schema or public API contract changed.

> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). This pull request does not
duplicate planned core work.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.6. The model used high reasoning, tool use, and
code execution. The context window size was not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip bf95a7eae2 fix(ui): stabilize active-run steering queue (#12834)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue detail page shows a live agent run and accepts follow-up
instructions.
> - A follow-up must stay in a stable queue until the user sends,
reorders, or removes it.
> - Native runners can receive a steering event in the active run.
> - Legacy runners must interrupt the active run and start a follow-up
run.
> - The current UI moved comments between the queue and the transcript
and could show duplicate text or ambiguous chronology.
> - This pull request makes the queue projection durable, keeps each
message in one clear place, and labels when queued input was actually
steered or delivered.
> - The benefit is predictable steering with stable ordering, no
duplicate messages, and visible causal timing.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11374.
Refs #12591.

**What happened?**

During an active run, a new follow-up could first appear as a transcript
bubble and then move into the steering queue. After a steer or remove
action, it could appear again. Progress text could also repeat the final
response text. Once consumed, a queued bubble displayed only its
original submission time even though it moved to its later causal slot,
and a native run split by steering looked like two unrelated runs.

**Expected behavior**

An active-run follow-up must appear in the queue immediately. A native
steer must move it once into the active run. A legacy interrupt must
move it once into the follow-up run. A removed item must stay removed.
Progress text that is identical to the final response must appear once.
Consumed follow-ups must show both queue and steer/delivery times, and
post-steer native segments must identify themselves as continuations of
the same run.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a long-running task.
2. Send two or more follow-up messages while the agent is active.
3. Reorder the messages and remove one message.
4. Send the first queued message as steering.
5. Observe the queue and transcript during and after both runs.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The problem reproduced on commit `da1e40302`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the embedded database.

## What Changed

- Project queued comments into the steering well for native and legacy
live runners.
- Send native steering to the active run and use interrupt-and-follow-up
for legacy runners.
- Keep optimistic queue order stable across refreshes and roll back
failed actions.
- Remove discarded comments from the transcript cache and keep them
removed when the queue becomes empty.
- Collapse only the final progress occurrence matching the durable
response, including across steered transcript segments.
- Show `Queued … · Steered …` for same-run input and `Queued … ·
Delivered …` for successor-run input at their causal positions.
- Label settled and live post-steer segments `Continued after steering`
and time them from the steer boundary.
- Add regression tests for queue display, steering, fallback interrupt,
reorder, remove, rollback, duplicate text, causal timestamps, and
live/settled continuation headers.

## Verification

- Ran the final focused steering/chronology UI suite with 233 passing
tests.
- Ran the activity-service regression suite with 5 passing tests.
- Ran the broader queue-focused UI suite with 298 passing tests before
the final chronology refinement.
- Ran `pnpm -r typecheck` successfully.
- Ran `pnpm build` successfully.
- Ran `pnpm check:token-gates` successfully.
- Tested native steering in a real browser with a 90-second baseline
wait and a three-second steering correction.
- Confirmed that the old final response did not appear before the
steered response.
- Tested three queued messages in a real browser.
- Confirmed that reorder changed delivery order and that the removed
message was never sent or shown again.
- Tested a legacy runner in a real browser.
- Confirmed that it used the interrupt fallback and showed the follow-up
once.
- Reloaded a saved mixed-steer/successor-run thread and confirmed the
causal timestamps and continuation header render in the correct
positions.
- The complete macOS suite reaches five unrelated platform assertions in
workspace-runtime tests. Two compare `/var` with `/private/var`. Three
require Linux `/proc` listener data. GitHub Actions provides the
authoritative Linux run.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change is limited to issue-chat queue projection and
transcript presentation.
- The server run-history API adds only a read-only `contextIssueId`
projection; the database schema does not change.
- Optimistic actions restore the prior UI state when a request fails.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5, extended reasoning, browser automation, shell
tools, and code execution.

Dotta 0f94521017 fix(runner): restore local session and task integrity (#12721)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable provider sessions to individual
task runs through PRP.
> - Provider continuity and per-run authority are different lifetimes.
> - The existing implementation mixed those lifetimes and lost event
metadata between provider frames, runnerd, persistence, API
sanitization, and the task thread.
> - That caused failed continuation, missing progress and Plans,
duplicate replies, hidden failures, and unsafe recovery.
> - This repair gives every heartbeat fresh authority, preserves
qualified provider-session continuity, and restores one lossless
presentation path without changing direct adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A second native heartbeat could reuse tickets, leases, command receipts,
sequence state, and run identity from the first heartbeat. Provider
phase and item identity could be lost before the UI read them. Redaction
could corrupt protocol discriminators while still missing malformed
credential tails. The task thread could fold progress into the final
response, hide failures, or show more than one final answer. Native
Codex also exposed approval modes that do not yet have a durable
approval bridge.

**Expected behavior**

Each heartbeat uses a new PRP authority epoch. Codex and OpenCode
preserve exact qualified provider sessions; ACPX emits an explicit
continuity event when its qualified process-replacement policy is used.
Every accepted provider event is presented, classified as internal, or
surfaced as unsupported. The task page shows chronological progress,
reasoning summaries, activity, Plans, interactions, terminal failures,
and exactly one final reply. Direct adapters retain their existing path.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the unified experimental Paperclip Runner setting.
2. Create a local native Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, or ACPX Codex
agent.
3. Run response, Plan, structured-question/resume, restart,
cancellation, and failure scenarios.
4. Reload the task while active, waiting, failed, and settled.
5. On the old implementation, observe stale run authority, missing
classifications, incomplete output, or duplicated/folded replies.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The repair is based directly on `master` at
`87d05e194b643810d16d20612115acd01d735d43`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the embedded database.

Related work: Refs #12616, #12646, #12666, #12685, and #12700.

## What Changed

- Rotates PRP control-plane, outbox, ticket, lease, command, receipt,
and sequence authority for each heartbeat while carrying forward only a
validated provider-session identity.
- Reads `control-plane-state.json`, validates both durable schemas and
lifecycle values, resumes coherent current runs, archives qualified
settled authority, and quarantines malformed or mismatched scoped state
without moving ambiguous live legacy state.
- Preserves Codex provider phase and stable item identities so
commentary remains progress and only `final_answer` becomes final.
- Adds raw OpenCode HTTP/SSE boundary coverage and canonical reasoning
lifecycle mapping.
- Makes ACPX normalization lossless for visible reasoning, tool
lifecycle metadata, stable bounded identities, Plan revisions,
structured requests, failures, and qualified process replacement. Only
the compatible terminal assistant message is promoted as final.
- Applies schema-aware redaction before generic JWT-shaped detection and
scans every diagnostic string leaf. Malformed raw/escaped quoted
credential tails are redacted in both server and durable Rust state.
- Restores snapshot-style chronological task presentation, expandable
tool activity, inline Plan cards, visible waiting/resume/cancel/failure
states, and exactly one final answer.
- Makes `never` the only qualified native Codex permission mode and
rejects unsupported persisted native modes with remediation. OpenCode
and ACPX policies remain intact.
- Keeps the unified experimental Runner setting as the only enablement
flag. Onboarding and direct Codex, Claude, and OpenCode stay on their
legacy execution/finalization paths.
- Adds cross-language goldens, authority/recovery/fault coverage, exact
response/count assertions, and native plus legacy acceptance scenarios.

## Verification

- Pull-request GitHub Actions run Rust formatting/tests, TypeScript
checks, server/UI tests, builds, protocol drift checks, browser E2E, and
security scans.
- A separate workflow-only validation ref is pinned directly on this PR
head and runs the 35-cell paid local matrix: three core scenarios plus
structured-question resume and restart/resume for native Codex, native
OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, and direct Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
Run: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
- Acceptance requires exact single visible replies, monotonic sequences,
matching envelope discriminators, one semantic terminal, one run
terminal, no unresolved interaction, no duplicate mutation, no secret
leakage, provider continuity, and zero native rows for direct adapters.
- Per maintainer direction, tests are running in GitHub Actions rather
than on the slower local host. Only formatters and static diff checks
were run locally.

## Risks

- Recovery from old or partial filesystem state is sensitive. The repair
fails closed, preserves active or unverifiable authority, and
quarantines only state whose scoped ownership is safe to move.
- Provider event formats can change. Closed validators and boundary
goldens turn new or malformed events into visible diagnostics instead of
silent drops.
- Shared task presentation could affect direct adapters. Runtime-fact
gating plus the direct-adapter matrix protect the existing path.
- Managed and remote providers are not qualified here. Shared code
continues to compile and fail safely, but live qualification is
deferred.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact deployed snapshot and
context-window size are not exposed to this task. It used agentic
reasoning, repository inspection, code editing, Git, parallel subagents,
and GitHub Actions.

Dotta 72b9f92d76 fix(runner): restore task runtime parity (#12685)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task view shows a running agent and lets an operator guide that
agent.
> - The merged runner stack lost parts of the accepted task experience.
> - Native event errors could hide current reasoning from the operator.
> - Queued message steering had no server route on `master`.
> - This pull request restores the task-runtime behavior and keeps the
runner experimental gate.
> - The benefit is a visible and steerable native run with durable
fallback behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The task view could stop showing current runner reasoning. The steering
action also failed because the server route was absent. Runner
instruction files were not declared as supported.

**Expected behavior**

The task view must show current provider activity. It must use the live
log when durable native events are empty or unavailable. The operator
must be able to steer a queued message into the active native turn.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the Paperclip Runner experimental setting.
2. Start a native runner task.
3. Open the task view while the run emits reasoning.
4. Queue a message and select the steering action.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The regression reproduces on `24a674f8858060e77ea1beb50689d26473e91431`.

**Additional context**

Related closed work: Refs #12592.

## What Changed

- Restored the queued-comment steering route for active native sessions.
- Added durable and queue-bound steering acknowledgements for safe
retries.
- Restored runner instruction bundle support.
- Added live-log fallback when native events are empty or unavailable.
- Restored the compact live reasoning ticker in the task view.
- Added a visible temporary-unavailable state when both activity sources
fail.
- Kept the unified Paperclip Runner experimental gate unchanged.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`
- Seven focused test files passed with 140 tests.
- The final steering regression file passed with 12 tests.
- The broad local test run reached unrelated workspace, port, and shared
database failures. The changed-area tests remained green.

## Risks

- The steering route changes queue and run records in one transaction.
Tests cover stale targets, unavailable sessions, lost responses, and
wrong-queue acknowledgements.
- Native events remain the primary transcript source. The live log is
used only when event data is absent or its poll fails.
- The experimental gate still hides and rejects the runner when the
setting is off.

Dotta 39206c0096 feat(ui): complete the task workspace (#12640)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task page is the main place where people guide and review agent
work.
> - Native runner events already project into the existing task chat on
the lower stack.
> - The larger task workspace must support those events without breaking
direct adapters.
> - Legacy questions, final replies, empty transcripts, and classic
controls must keep their behavior.
> - This pull request completes the provider-neutral task workspace
experience.
> - The benefit is one coherent task surface for native and direct
execution paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12639.
Refs #12617.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Task chat, task detail, side panels, interaction forms, and transcript
presentation.

**Problem or motivation**

The task page does not provide one complete workspace for live activity,
plans, questions, queued guidance, files, and documents. Earlier native
UI work also exposed compatibility risks in legacy question and reply
paths.

**Proposed solution**

Add the task workspace components and provider-neutral protocol
presentation. Keep runner-only controls behind runtime facts. Preserve
all direct-adapter composer, transcript, interaction, and finalization
behavior.

**Alternatives considered**

A separate runner page would duplicate task behavior. Replacing legacy
transcript logic would create unnecessary adapter regressions.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the unified task experience and the Cloud and Sandbox
agents milestone.

## Stack

- Base PR: #12639.
- Lower PR: #12638.
- This PR contains only its 119-file UI delta against
`runner/remote-wss-transport`.
- The next stack PR adds administrator and observability controls.

## What Changed

- Added a reusable task workspace side panel for files and documents.
- Added provider-neutral cards for tools, plans, questions, protocol
activity, and progress.
- Added queued guidance and richer composer state.
- Added compact and expanded interaction presentation.
- Added live activity, thinking, usage, recovery, and final reply
presentation.
- Added document annotations and task deep links.
- Added bounded question validation and response handling.
- Preserved native runner event projection from master.
- Preserved legacy channel-less replies and explicit final reply
precedence.
- Preserved direct-adapter and classic-interface controls.
- Did not change server execution selection, Rust code, migrations,
workflows, or `pnpm-lock.yaml`.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run UI tests, repository tests, typecheck, build,
browser tests, security, and policy gates.
- Tests cover active, settled, empty-transcript, interaction,
queued-message, plan, question, file, document, and classic-interface
states.
- Compatibility tests cover direct adapters and native runner projection
together.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check runner/remote-wss-transport...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 119 UI-only files.

## Risks

- This is a large task-page change.
- Most files are new focused components and tests.
- Shared transcript code keeps the lower native projection and legacy
direct-adapter fallbacks.
- Runner-only controls use adapter and runtime facts.
- No execution path or rollout flag changes in this PR.

Dotta 209680409d feat(ui): project native runner turns into task chat (#12617)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to supervise AI agents
and their work.
> - The task page is the established place to read run progress and
answer agent questions.
> - Native runner events use PRP envelopes instead of the direct-adapter
transcript format.
> - The task page needs a narrow projection for those events without
changing legacy adapter behavior.
> - Unknown event versions and fields must stay hidden until the UI
supports them.
> - This pull request adds a runtime-gated native turn projection and
preserves the classic path.
> - The benefit is one task thread for native Codex runs while direct
adapters keep their current UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

`ui/` task chat and transcript projection.

**Problem or motivation**

The server can record native runner events, replies, usage, and
structured interactions, but the existing task page cannot safely render
those records. Reusing the native path for direct adapters would also
risk the legacy question and finalization behavior.

**Proposed solution**

Project supported PRP v1 events into the existing transcript model only
when runtime facts identify a native `paperclip_runner` run. Use an
exact event and payload allowlist. Keep direct adapters on the existing
transcript, composer, interaction, and finalization path.

**Alternatives considered**

A separate runner page was rejected because it would split task history.
A universal transcript replacement was rejected because the experimental
runner must not alter legacy adapters.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change supports activity attribution and recoverable runs. It does
not replace the current task page.

## What Changed

- Project supported native PRP v1 assistant, reasoning, tool, activity,
usage, interaction, and result events.
- Render a native runner turn only when both runtime mode and adapter
type match.
- Recognize the canonical `assistant_message` item kind and preserve
final-reply precedence.
- Fail closed for unsupported PRP versions, event types, payload
schemas, and identity fields.
- Keep explicit running and pending provider activities open until a
real terminal state arrives.
- Include channel and lifecycle identity in memoization so
progress-to-final transitions rerender.
- Add focused native, empty-transcript, interaction, final, memoization,
and direct-adapter regressions.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions is the authoritative test environment for this stack.
- This top PR receives the full stack-aware CI suite.
- Greptile will review this exact nine-file delta after the branch is
pushed.

## Risks

- The main risk is changing direct-adapter task behavior. The render
gate requires both native runtime mode and the `paperclip_runner`
adapter.
- The next risk is exposing future provider payloads. Version, event,
schema, and field allowlists fail closed.
- There are no database, lockfile, workflow, build-system, or server
changes in this PR.

Dotta bc9ba7cd26 feat(runner): project native runs into task threads (#12321)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The experimental Paperclip Runner can execute a guarded Codex run
and persist provider-neutral events.
> - The task page still reads direct-adapter transcripts and cannot
present those native events.
> - Structured runner questions must also use the existing task
interaction experience.
> - Runtime selection must use the persisted run mode, not an adapter
name or a current feature flag.
> - This pull request projects native events and questions into the
existing task thread.
> - Direct adapters keep their existing transcript, composer,
interaction, and finalization paths.
> - The benefit is a complete native Codex task thread without a
behavior change for existing adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12202. This pull request replaces that stale implementation on
current `master`.

**What happened?**

The server persists native runner events and structured input requests.
The task page only consumes direct-adapter transcripts. A native run
therefore cannot present a complete transcript, usage, or question flow
through the normal task experience.

**Expected behavior**

Native runs project persisted provider-neutral events into the existing
task thread. Native structured questions use the existing interaction
card. Direct adapters retain their current behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the experimental runner.
2. Start a native Codex run that emits progress, usage, a structured
question, and a final reply.
3. Open the task page.
4. Observe that the direct-adapter transcript path cannot project the
native event records.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `67f9867bc`.

## What Changed

- Add the canonical structured-question validator and shared contract
exports.
- Materialize native input requests as existing task interactions.
- Validate native answers and deliver them through the durable
question-response receipt.
- Resume the original PRP request with an idempotent `request.resolve`
command.
- Project native messages, tool activity, cumulative usage, and final
replies into the existing transcript model.
- Propagate persisted `runtimeMode` to the task page and select native
handling only for `runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Expire pending interactions through the shared issue service on every
terminal transition, including decisions, stalled reviews, tree control,
and pipeline retry cleanup.
- Queue native run cancellation while a transaction is open and execute
it only after the owning transaction commits.
- Keep nonterminal and non-runner issue paths on their existing service
call shapes and behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed, including the
Rust runner release build and protocol/catalog drift gates.
- Focused native-thread and lifecycle suites — 18 files and 481 tests
passed during review.
- `issue-execution-policy-routes.test.ts` — 19/19 passed after the final
transactional-queue expectation update.
- `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts` — 87/87 passed in the
final isolated compatibility rerun.
- GitHub Actions — policy, build, canary, typecheck/release registry, 5
serialized server shards, 8 general-test shards, 3 browser shards, and
both aggregate gates passed on `7793f3193`.
- Security — Snyk, Socket Project Report, Socket PR Alerts, and
Superagent passed.
- Greptile — 5/5 on `7793f3193`; all actionable review threads resolved.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- Diff against `master`: 44 files.

## Compatibility Boundary

- Native transcript polling only runs when the persisted run reports
`runtimeMode: "native"`.
- Missing or legacy runtime modes continue through
`useLiveRunTranscripts`.
- Legacy questions keep the existing optional free-text choice.
- Native closed select sets can suppress that legacy fallback.
- Terminal cleanup uses the same issue service for native and legacy
interactions; only a bound native question schedules a native run
cancellation.
- Native cancellation happens after transaction commit, so failed or
rolled-back writes do not cancel a still-valid run.
- The durable delivery service checks the original native request before
it considers a continuation run.
- This pull request adds no migration, dependency, workflow, manifest,
or lockfile change.

## Risks

The main risk is routing a direct-adapter task through native handling
or changing terminal issue behavior. The implementation selects the
native path only from persisted runtime facts, retains the existing
nonterminal call shape, and schedules native cancellation only for a
validated bound native question after commit. Focused and
repository-wide tests cover both paths. Native requests remain bound to
the company, issue, run, and agent; answers are validated, durable, and
idempotent across reconnects.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 family. The client does not expose the exact
deployment ID or context window. Agentic reasoning, tool use, and code
execution were enabled.

Devin Foley adfbe2d4b9 feat(environments): refer to the managed default environment by name, not the sandbox driver key (#11838)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed deployments provision a platform-managed default environment
for agent runs; the UI shows this environment in selectors, the agent
form, run details, and the environments page
> - Those surfaces append the raw driver key to the environment name, so
users see labels like "Paperclip Computer (sandbox)", "Paperclip
Computer · sandbox", and fallback copy such as "Managed sandbox" and
"The sandbox has no ready authentication"
> - "sandbox" is infrastructure vocabulary, not the product name of the
environment; showing it next to the managed environment's name is
confusing and off-brand
> - This pull request renders platform-managed environments by name
alone and rewords the sandbox-phrased copy, while user-created
environments keep the driver suffix so mixed lists stay distinguishable
> - The benefit is that the default environment reads as one clear
product name everywhere, and self-hosted users lose nothing: their own
environments still show the driver

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Display of the platform-managed default environment across the UI.

**Subsystem affected**

UI (environment selectors, agent config form, environments page, agents
page, run details) and the claude-local/codex-local adapter auth checks.

**Current behavior**

The agent form labels the inherited default environment as "Name
(sandbox)". Environment selectors and the environments list render "Name
· sandbox". The agents page describes the environment as "<provider>
sandbox provider". The agent form's fallback label is "Managed sandbox".
Adapter auth checks say "The sandbox has no ready authentication for
this adapter."

**Proposed behavior**

Platform-managed environment rows (`metadata.managedByPaperclip`) render
their name alone. The fallback label is "Paperclip Computer". The agents
page describes managed environments as "Managed by Paperclip". Run
details omit the driver suffix for sandbox-driver environments (the
adjacent Provider entry already identifies the mechanism). Adapter auth
checks say "This environment has no ready authentication for this
adapter."

**Reason and benefit**

The managed environment carries a product name. Appending the raw driver
key ("sandbox") to it is noise and contradicts the product naming.
User-created environments keep the driver suffix, so mixed lists stay
distinguishable.

**Breaking changes**

None. Message text of the auth check is not read programmatically; the
UI keys off `ADAPTER_AUTH_MISSING_CHECK_CODE`. Rows without the managed
marker render exactly as before.

## What Changed

- New `environmentDisplayLabel` helper in
`ui/src/lib/managed-sandbox-environment.ts`: managed rows → name alone;
other rows → "Name · driver".
- `AgentConfigForm`: inherited-default label uses the helper; fallback
copy "Managed sandbox" → "Paperclip Computer"; environment options use
the helper.
- `ProjectProperties`, `CompanyEnvironments`: environment selector
options use the helper; the environments-list row hides the driver
suffix on managed rows; the managed detail page's fallback description
no longer says "sandbox".
- `Agents` page: managed environments are described as "Managed by
Paperclip" instead of "<provider> sandbox provider".
- `CommentThread` run details: the driver suffix is omitted for
sandbox-driver environments.
- claude-local and codex-local adapters: auth-missing check message/hint
reworded from "sandbox" to "environment" (ACP and environment-test
paths); claude-local probe/effort/login hints reworded the same way.
- Run status lines: "Syncing workspace to sandbox", "Exporting git
changes from sandbox", "Starting adapter in sandbox", and friends now
say "environment"; "Finalizing sandbox workspace" → "Finalizing
workspace". Templated transfer-progress lines map the `sandbox`
transport key to "environment" for display (`runtime-progress.ts`).
- Agent form sign-in panel: "Sign in to the sandbox" → "Sign in to the
environment"; "Authenticated. The sandbox has credentials now." → "…The
environment has credentials now."
- Feature catalog + instance settings card: "Managed Sandbox Only" →
"Managed Environment Only" (setting key unchanged; the card keeps its
alphabetical slot).
- Server agents routes: execution-target failure and test-identity copy
no longer say "sandbox"; workspace-mode label "Cloud sandbox" → "Cloud
environment".
- Tests: new `environmentDisplayLabel` unit cases; new `AgentConfigForm`
render case asserting the managed default renders without "(sandbox)" or
"· sandbox"; status-line assertions updated across adapter-utils, server
heartbeat/live-run, and UI chat suites.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local typecheck` and
`--filter @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local typecheck` — clean.
- `vitest run` for `managed-sandbox-environment.test.ts`,
`AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx`, `CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx`,
`Agents.test.tsx`, `CommentThread.test.tsx`, `NewAgent.test.tsx` — all
green (118 tests across the two runs).

## Risks

Low risk. Cosmetic label changes only; no data or API changes. Rows
without `metadata.managedByPaperclip` render exactly as before, so
self-hosted deployments with their own environments see no change. The
only self-hosted-visible wording changes are the adapter auth-check
message and the driver suffix omission on sandbox-driver rows in run
details.

Devin Foley de9645ab73 fix(ui): surface live runtime status in the task-chat tail before the first transcript token (#11802)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Runs on sandbox execution targets spend their first minutes in
preparation phases — config seed, workspace and skills sync into the
sandbox — before the agent CLI produces its first transcript token
> - The engine already reports these phases through the runtime-progress
mechanism (`onRuntimeProgress` →
`recordCurrentHeartbeatRunRuntimeProgress` → `currentStatusMessage` on
the live run), and the pre-task-chat issue view surfaced them in its
live status line
> - The chat-style task view's live tail dropped that affordance: with
zero renderable transcript entries it shows an opaque "Waiting for
transcript..." for minutes, which reads as a hang (and prompted a real
is-this-broken investigation on a healthy run)
> - This pull request surfaces the live run's `currentStatusMessage` as
the tail's empty-state message, with the generic wait text as fallback
> - The benefit is that operators watching a sandbox run see "Syncing
workspace to sandbox" instead of wondering whether the run is stuck —
for every adapter, with no adapter identities involved

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The chat-style task view's live transcript tail (`TaskChatThread` →
`TaskChatLiveTail`), introduced with the experimental chat-style task
view.

**Current behavior**

While a live run has no renderable transcript entries yet — the normal
state for the multi-minute sandbox preparation window — the tail shows a
static "Waiting for transcript...". The run's live
`currentStatusMessage` (e.g. "Syncing workspace to sandbox", emitted by
the sandbox-managed runtime's progress reporting) is available on the
same live-run object but unused by this surface, although the earlier
issue-chat view did display it.

**Proposed behavior**

When the tail is streaming a live run and no transcript rows exist yet,
the empty-state message prefers the run's `currentStatusMessage`; the
generic wait text remains the fallback when no runtime status has been
reported (e.g. local runs that produce output immediately, or the brief
pre-status window).

**Reason and benefit**

The preparation phases are real, reportable progress that the engine
already emits. Showing them turns a minutes-long apparent hang into a
legible status, for every adapter and execution target, using data the
view already receives.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.tsx`: the live tail's `emptyMessage`
prefers `liveRun.currentStatusMessage` (guarded to the run the tail is
actually streaming) over the static "Waiting for transcript..."
fallback. Queued runs keep "Waiting to start...".
- `ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx`: a test covering both
branches — a live run with a runtime status shows it (and not the wait
text), and a run without one keeps the generic message.

## Verification

- `vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatLiveTail.test.tsx`: 22/22 pass
(including the new test)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`: clean
- Reproduced live: a `claude_local` run on a Daytona sandbox environment
showed "Waiting for transcript..." for the full sync window; with this
change the same window shows the streamed preparation statuses

## Risks

- Low: a one-expression change to an empty-state string, active only
while a live run has produced no renderable transcript rows. The
fallback path is byte-identical to today.
- `currentStatusMessage` is truncated/humanized upstream by the
runtime-progress reporter; this surface renders it verbatim in the same
muted style as the wait text.

## Model Used

- Anthropic, **Claude Fable 5** (`claude-fable-5`) via Claude Code, with
repository, shell, and Git tooling. It traced the runtime-progress
mechanism end-to-end (engine emitter → heartbeat recorder → live-run API
→ both thread views), identified the dropped affordance in the
chat-style view, and wrote the fix and test.

cbe6395cc5 fix(ui): task chat composer clears on send; align carets and composer with thread (#11772)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task detail view uses a chat-style thread: agent turns, activity
phases, and a message composer.
> - A colleague's UX review found three defects: the composer draft
stayed visible after send, disclosure carets in turns and status pills
were misaligned, and the composer was not horizontally aligned with the
thread column.
> - These defects make the chat surface feel unpolished and cause
confusion about whether a message was sent.
> - This pull request fixes all three defects with small, targeted UI
changes and adds regression tests for each.
> - The benefit is a chat surface that behaves and aligns like users
expect from a messaging UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this. Description of the underlying
problems:

**What happened?**

Three UI defects in the chat-style task view:

1. After a user pressed send, the composer kept the draft text until the
server round-trip finished. Fast typers could see stale text and doubt
the message was sent.
2. The disclosure carets on collapsed agent turns and the caret inside
the status pill did not share one alignment axis. They rendered at
different x-offsets and sizes.
3. The composer container had different horizontal padding than the
thread column above it, so the input box did not line up with the
message bubbles.

**Expected behavior**

The composer clears the instant a send starts. All disclosure carets sit
on one vertical axis with one size. The composer's left and right edges
align with the thread column.

**Steps to reproduce**

Open any task in the chat-style task view. Type a message and press
Enter — watch the composer text. Collapse and expand agent turns —
compare caret positions. Compare the composer's horizontal edges with
the message bubbles above it.

## What Changed

- `TaskChatComposer.tsx`: clear the draft synchronously when a send
starts instead of after the request resolves; restore the draft if the
send fails.
- `TaskChatTurn.tsx` and `TaskChatStatusPill.tsx`: use one shared caret
alignment (size, x-offset) for turn disclosure and status pill carets,
with supporting utility styles in `ui/src/index.css`.
- `TaskChatThread.tsx`: align the composer container with the thread
column padding.
- Added or updated unit tests in `TaskChatComposer.test.tsx`,
`TaskChatTurn.test.tsx`, `TaskChatActivityPhase.test.tsx`, and
`TaskChatThread.test.tsx`.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm vitest run
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatActivityPhase.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatTurn.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx` in `ui/` — 4 files, 64 tests,
all pass.
- Manual: open a task in the chat view, send a message, and confirm the
composer clears immediately. Collapse/expand turns and confirm the
carets align. Compare composer edges with the thread column; the
alignment fixes were also pixel-verified with screenshots during local
review.

## Risks

- Low risk. All changes are render-layer only; no server or data
changes.
- The composer now clears optimistically. If a send fails, the draft is
restored, so no user text is lost.
- Caret alignment uses shared CSS utilities; visual regressions would
show in the existing component tests and in any screenshot diff.

## Model Used

- Implementation: OpenAI Codex CLI coding agent (Codex model family,
agentic tool use) via Paperclip's Codex adapter.
- Review, verification, rebase, and PR preparation: Anthropic Claude,
model id `claude-fable-5` (extended thinking, tool use), via Claude
Code.

DottaandPaperclip fd472d02ba Show ordered live blocker work in task chat (#11487)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task view shows operators why work cannot continue
> - The redesigned task thread now shows direct and ultimate blockers
> - But it does not show the ordered task queue while a blocker chain
has live work
> - This pull request adds a compact ordered live-work queue to the
redesigned thread
> - The benefit is that operators can see completed, running, and queued
dependencies without opening the larger legacy notice

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The redesigned task thread blocker summary is improved. The merged
predecessor is #11456.

**Current behavior**

The redesigned task thread shows compact direct and ultimate blocker
links. It does not show the ordered queue when the blocker tree has live
work. The legacy task view shows this queue in a larger notice.

**Proposed behavior**

Show a compact blue live-work queue at both ends of the redesigned task
thread. Order completed tasks first, then running tasks, then queued
tasks. Show a live terminal leaf as `Now running`. Return to the amber
blocker links when no live dependency remains.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can see the active dependency order without leaving the
redesigned task view. The compact presentation preserves the new
thread's low-chrome layout.

**Breaking changes**

None. The change only adds UI for blocker data that the task view
already receives.

## What Changed

- Shared the live blocker ordering helper between the legacy notice and
the redesigned task thread.
- Added compact ordered dependency links at the top and bottom of the
redesigned thread.
- Added a separate `Now running` link for a live terminal blocker leaf.
- Preserved the compact amber blocker rows when live work is not
present.
- Added component tests and a Storybook state for the new presentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook`
- Captured and reviewed the new Storybook state in a headless browser.

## Risks

- Low risk. The queue appears only for blocked tasks whose blocker
attention state is `covered` and whose dependency set contains live
work.
- The API does not provide an explicit queue position. The UI preserves
the existing legacy ordering rule: completed, running, queued, then
numeric task identifier.

<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps operators supervise agent work through tasks and
task threads.
> - The redesigned task thread shows the current work and its state.
> - A blocked task did not show the dependency that prevented progress.
> - Operators had to leave the thread to find the direct and final
blockers.
> - This pull request adds compact blocker links at the top and bottom
of the task thread.
> - The benefit is that operators can identify and open the relevant
tasks without adding a large notice to the thread.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The redesigned task thread did not show which task directly blocked the
current task or which task ultimately blocked its dependency chain.

**Subsystem affected**

`server/`, `packages/shared/`, and `ui/` task-blocker presentation.

**Current behavior**

A blocked task can open in the redesigned thread without a visible
dependency link at the top or bottom of the conversation.

**Proposed behavior**

Show one compact amber row for the direct blocker. Show a second row for
the selected final blocker when one exists. Render the rows at both ends
of the thread.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can see the reason for the blocked state and open the relevant
task from the conversation. The compact rows preserve thread density.

**Breaking changes**

None. The new blocker-attention fields are optional. Existing clients
remain compatible.

## What Changed

- Added a compact task-chat component for direct and selected final
blocker links.
- Added the blocker rows to the top and bottom of populated and empty
task threads.
- Added link-ready blocker-attention details so an intermediate selected
task stays on its correct direct chain.
- Included blocker-link changes in the thread content key so pinned
threads follow a newly added bottom row.
- Added component, scrolling, server contract, and Storybook coverage
for the new states.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts` (38 tests passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`

## Risks

- Low risk. The rows only render while the task status is `blocked` and
an unresolved blocker is available.
- Long titles are truncated to keep each blocker on one line. The full
task label remains available in the link title.
- Older server payloads keep the original leaf-selection behavior
because the new sampled details are optional.

DottaandPaperclip 8cb0ce0de5 fix(ui): restore queued message interrupt action (#11374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task thread lets an operator add guidance while an agent run is
active
> - A new message can wait behind that active run as a queued message
> - The classic task view lets the operator interrupt the target run
from that queued message
> - The redesigned task view did not expose the same action
> - This pull request restores the action and keeps it bound to the
exact target run
> - The benefit is that operators can apply urgent guidance without
switching task views

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The redesigned task view showed `Queued` for a queued operator message,
but it did not show the existing interrupt action.

**Expected behavior**

The queued message must show `Interrupt` next to `Queued`. The action
must stop the exact run that the message is waiting behind.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task in the redesigned task view while an agent run is active.
2. Send a new operator message so it enters the queued state.
3. Observe that the queued message has no interrupt action.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`bc0b5a1642`

**Deployment mode**

All deployment modes that use the redesigned task view.

## What Changed

- Preserve persisted queued state and the target run ID in the
redesigned thread model.
- Render a token-compliant `Interrupt` action beside the queued state.
- Reuse the existing exact-run interrupt callback and show a disabled
`Interrupting…` state during the request.
- Keep an assigned queue target immutable so an in-flight comment cannot
rebind its interrupt action to a replacement run.
- Add regression tests for persisted queued messages, replacement-run
races, and the in-progress action state.
- No documentation update was required because this restores existing
behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx
ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts
ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx -t 'queued message actions|queues
messages against a queued live run and interrupts that exact
run|commentsToTaskChatItems'`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx -t 'queued
message|queues messages'`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` (52 passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run` (all server and UI groups passed; the CLI group passed
after inherited static AWS credential variables were omitted)
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`

## Risks

Low risk. The change only adds an action to queued messages that have a
target run and an interrupt callback. Messages without both values keep
the current rendering.

DottaandPaperclip d2665ff6b4 fix(ui): align the mobile task chat composer with the thread (#11296)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task thread is where people read work and guide agents.
> - The mobile composer should use the same content width as the thread.
> - The composer kept the desktop 80% width on mobile, so its edges did
not align with the thread.
> - Long assignee-aware placeholder text could also clip inside the
mobile editor.
> - Some extracted style tokens used legacy HSL wrappers around complete
semantic colors, which made those declarations invalid.
> - This pull request makes the composer full width on mobile, preserves
the narrower desktop layout, wraps the placeholder, and repairs the
invalid color compositions.
> - The benefit is a stable mobile composer that aligns with the task
thread and keeps its intended visual styles.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: Refs #11263.

**What happened?**

At mobile widths, the task chat composer used the same 80% width as the
desktop composer. Its horizontal edges did not align with the full task
thread. A long assignee-aware placeholder could clip on one line. The
composer's extracted shadow also used a legacy `hsl(var(...))` wrapper
around complete semantic color values, so the browser could reject the
declaration.

**Expected behavior**

The composer must match the task thread width on mobile. It must stay
narrower on larger screens. Long placeholder text must wrap inside the
editor. Semantic color tokens must form valid shadows and gradients.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task with the chat-style thread on a mobile viewport.
2. Compare the composer edges with the task thread edges.
3. Select an assignee whose placeholder text wraps to two lines.
4. Inspect the computed composer shadow and the extracted semantic color
styles.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The change is based on `dc6fcd1ff1` from `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local build from source. The behavior also applies to packaged web
builds.

## What Changed

- Made the task chat composer full width below the medium breakpoint and
kept the 80% desktop width.
- Matched the composer dock padding to the task thread padding.
- Allowed long composer placeholders to wrap and reserved enough mobile
editor height for two lines.
- Replaced invalid legacy HSL wrappers around full semantic colors in
extracted shadows, gradients, and approval styles.
- Added a token gate that prevents legacy `hsl(var(--token))` wrappers
from returning.
- Added focused regression tests for responsive width, padding,
placeholder wrapping, mobile height, and semantic shadow validity.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all four gates pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposerStyles.test.ts` — 37 tests
pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — passes. The build prints
existing CSS optimizer and bundle-size warnings.

## Risks

- Low risk. The width change is limited to the mobile breakpoint. The
desktop 80% layout remains in place.
- The semantic token fixes can affect shadows and gradients that were
previously invalid. The new gate prevents the invalid wrapper pattern
from returning.

0ee0543e5b feat(ui): refine the chat-style task workflow (#11263)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue detail view is the main place where people read work and
guide agents.
> - The chat-style task view needs clear messages, controls, properties,
and document feedback.
> - Dense metadata and disconnected controls make active work harder to
scan.
> - This pull request refines the existing chat-style task workflow
across desktop and mobile layouts.
> - The benefit is a clearer issue thread with faster access to the
controls that guide work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The change improves the chat-style issue detail view that was introduced
in [#10606](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10606) and
expanded in
[#10707](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/10707).

**Current behavior**

The issue thread spreads task controls across the page. Agent-turn
metadata competes with the message content. Document annotation comments
use inline placement that limits the document reading area. The mobile
composer can overlap the bottom navigation.

**Proposed behavior**

The issue view keeps the thread focused on message content. It moves
supporting controls into the properties area, adds searchable
assignment, restores the sub-task tree, docks document comments in a
side gutter, and keeps the mobile composer clear of navigation.

**Reason and benefit**

People can scan active work faster and find task controls without
leaving the issue. The layout also gives documents and mobile
conversations more usable space.

**Breaking changes**

None. The change updates presentation and interaction behavior in the
existing issue UI.

## What Changed

- Refined task-chat message spacing, metadata, agent bubbles, and
composer alignment.
- Added searchable assignment and restored sub-task navigation in the
properties pane.
- Moved document annotation comments into a right-side gutter.
- Kept the mobile composer above the auto-hiding bottom navigation.
- Added and updated focused component tests for the changed
interactions.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `TZ=UTC pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/InlineEntitySelector.test.tsx
src/components/IssueDocumentAnnotations.test.tsx
src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx`
- The token gates report 3/3 clean.
- The focused test run passes 124 tests in 5 files.
- Visual snapshot baselines were not updated. This follows the
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)."

## Risks

- The changes affect several related issue-detail layouts. A browser
review should cover desktop and mobile widths before merge.
- The monitor-row test formats time in the host timezone. The
verification command sets `TZ=UTC` to match CI.

scotttongandPaperclip 4e9a78db58 feat(ui): persist task chat composer drafts (#11076)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People send task instructions through the board task chat.
> - A page refresh or task switch can discard an unfinished message in
the redesigned composer.
> - The existing task chat already supplies a task-specific draft key.
> - The redesigned composer must use that key without changing
attachment or send behavior.
> - This pull request restores, saves, and clears text drafts in the
redesigned composer.
> - The benefit is that users can return to unfinished task messages
without losing their text.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related prior work: #11070. This pull request extracts only the final
composer draft behavior from that larger draft.

**Subsystem affected**

ui/ — React + Vite board UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The redesigned task chat composer does not use the draft key that the
task thread already provides. A refresh, navigation, or unmount can lose
an unfinished message.

**Proposed solution**

Persist text drafts by task key in local storage. Restore a draft when
the composer mounts. Save changes after a short delay and flush pending
text during unload or unmount. Clear the draft only after a successful
send.

**Alternatives considered**

The composer could save on every keystroke. A short delay avoids
unnecessary synchronous storage writes. The feature could also stay in
the larger predecessor PR, but a focused PR is easier to review and
verify.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is a focused usability improvement for the task conversation
surface. It does not add or duplicate a roadmap capability.

## What Changed

- Added safe draft storage helpers for load, save, and clear operations.
- Connected the task-specific draft key to the redesigned task chat
composer.
- Preserved drafts across debounce windows, unmounts, page unloads,
failed sends, and React Strict Mode probes.
- Cleared drafts after successful sends without changing current
attachment safeguards.
- Added focused composer and thread integration tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatComposer.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx`

## Risks

- Local storage can be unavailable or full. The helpers catch storage
errors and keep the composer usable.
- Only text is persisted. Attachments, work mode, and assignee
selections remain session state.
- Draft keys remain task-scoped, so text does not cross task boundaries.
