DottaandPaperclip 7ae81c9fa7 fix(slack): support rich questions and complete review delivery (#17255)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Questions and review decisions must work in the conversation where a
task started.
> - Slack omitted question context and did not publish several review
kinds.
> - Some answers saved in Paperclip also lost their authorized
continuation or their final Slack reply.
> - A settled card and a successful run did not prove that the user
received the result.
> - This pull request preserves complete questions and follows the
existing answer and delivery receipts through continuation.
> - Users can read the request, submit an authorized decision, and
receive the resumed task's result in the same conversation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17045 and #17218.

**What happened?**

Slack question cards could omit instructions and editable starting text.
Checkbox reviews, item verdicts, task suggestions, and connection
requests had no publication path. Complex question answers submitted in
Paperclip could fail continuation authorization. Several review
continuations completed without delivering their result to Slack.

**Expected behavior**

Show the actual question and context. Use native Slack controls when
they preserve the form contract. Otherwise provide an explicit Paperclip
review link. Persist one authorized response, resume through the
existing delivery path, settle the card, and deliver the useful result
to its originating conversation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task in Slack and ask a text or choice question with
instructions and help text.
2. Submit native text and choice responses, then submit a complex form
through Paperclip.
3. Accept a checklist, submit item decisions, select suggested tasks, or
decline a connection request.
4. Inspect the saved answer, continuation run, original Slack card, and
final Slack reply independently.

## What Changed

- Preserve full prompts, context, descriptions, recommendations, help,
and editable starting text. Use direct buttons for short choices, inline
searchable selects for longer lists, and native checkboxes with explicit
submission for multiple choices.
- Add native custom-answer and validated-text modals, ordinary
confirmation buttons, checklist decisions, per-item verdicts with
reasons, suggested-task creation/dismissal, and connection decline. Keep
governed approvals, permission grants, and forms that cannot be
represented faithfully in the full Paperclip review surface.
- Keep Slack-specific canonical-validation feedback in its owning
platform module. Shared callbacks delegate without interpreting provider
presentation.
- Reuse the existing canonical interaction transactions, callback
receipts, publication queue, and continuation delivery. Share ordinary
confirmation handling across Telegram and Slack. Recheck current
authorization and commit response receipts atomically.
- Settle cards with the saved answer and remove stale controls. Ignore
passive Slack link callbacks so opening a task does not display a false
answer error.
- Validate exact multi-select receipt mappings during native
continuation. Recover automation-origin connection replies from their
published prompt after validating the durable connection receipt.
- Keep oversized multi-select handoffs free of unused native tokens, and
retain the complete Paperclip form for 101–128 choices plus Other. Make
the original-conversation audience explicit before submitting a Slack
modal.
- Add rollback, provider serialization, callback, continuation, and
negative authorization regressions. Update the connector playbook and
feature/access maps. No React or application UI changes are included.
- Add a durable Q01–Q11 qualification index and provider coverage
matrix. Require distinct functional, good-experience, and
best-available-control assessments; real unanswered/answering/settled
evidence; saved results, continuation and navigation proof; and retained
failures. Mark other providers unaudited rather than assuming Slack
parity.

## Verification

Candidate: `e0017d446b1016a38d65382366cd1408cce33039`. The
eleven-core-format live Slack gallery is pinned to
`c3d458b2a06b660448940fd8cf33c5906f0058d5`; subsequent boundary fixes
and the sharing notice have automated verification, not new live
screenshots.

- Real Slack UI testing covered all 11 formats: text, closed choice,
long single select, multiple choices, choices with a custom answer,
pattern-validated text, confirmation, checklist, item verdicts,
suggested tasks, and connection requests. Each has
unanswered/answering/answered screenshots as applicable, an inspected
saved result, one continuation, and an individual experience review in
the local HTML gallery.
- The dedicated private QA app/channel used signed callbacks to the
local candidate. A separately approved password-protected, read-only
preview proved connection-review, suggested-task review, and
created-task navigation. Anonymous access, writes, and credential routes
were denied. No OAuth grant was attempted.
- Real testing exposed and repaired a multi-select continuation failure
and a misleading error on link-button clicks. Failed attempts remain in
the evidence. The final navigation replay opened the exact pending
connection request and declined it in Slack without granting access.
Suggested-task creation produced the selected child with the correct
parent and description.
- Final review-fix verification: **32 form tests**, **28
provider/form-rendering tests**, **30 publication tests**, and **171
native continuation/authorization tests** passed. Earlier **3
atomic-resolution rollback**, **9 targeted
callback/publication/Telegram**, and **28 review-continuation** cases
passed. The final Slack/Teams modal subset also passed. The
automation-origin connection cases, 101/128 custom-choice cases, and
oversized multi-select continuation reproduced before their fixes and
passed afterward; failing logs remain retained. These counts describe
relevant runs, not a reliability percentage.
- CI on `b5885b85fd` exposed a test fixture that assumed every Slack
modal block was an input; the new sharing notice correctly renders a
non-input block. The fixture now selects input blocks safely. The exact
signed-modal correction/one-continuation test passed locally, together
with 14 Slack form/modal tests. The failing CI log and its specific
cause remain recorded.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Server typechecking was
repeated after the final source changes. Map and module-boundary checks
and `git diff --check` passed.
- The full `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped after repeated
embedded PostgreSQL semaphore exhaustion on this host. Its 1,395-test
chat suite found two stale native-control assertions; both were
corrected and re-tested in a focused run. Focused database suites used
separate disposable databases on existing local PostgreSQL. The full
suite is not claimed green; new-head CI must complete before merge.
- Final-head CI passed on `e0017d446b1016a38d65382366cd1408cce33039`:
all test/build jobs and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` gates are
green
([run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40115430194)).
Greptile and Ponytail both reviewed this exact head at 5/5, the security
scan passed, and all review threads are resolved.
- All three QA app callbacks were restored to staging. Both temporary
tunnels and local proxies were closed. The local endpoint was archived
and its local credential copies removed. The candidate app was stopped.

Limits: provider execution used a deterministic Claude protocol fixture,
not an LLM. This is local real-provider UX proof, not deployed staging
or broader Codie/Claude qualification. The public preview intentionally
blocked ancillary artifact routes, so its destination pages could show a
partial-history warning. The complete permission-grant flow and every
oversized/mixed-form branch were not driven manually. Earlier fixture,
test, and provider failures remain recorded.

## Risks

- New reply routes require durable origin proof. Incorrect receipt
matching could lose a reply or route it incorrectly. Tests cover
missing, forged, mismatched, and revoked authority.
- Governed forms keep their Paperclip resolution checks. This change
does not grant new approval authority to Slack.
- Existing completed review results can become deliverable through the
repaired publication path without another provider run.
- No schema, lockfile, workflow, public task-status model, or
runtime-instruction change is included. This branch is not deployed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with code execution and tool use. The exact
backend model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip c2daf906d9 fix: preserve task continuation and question delivery (#17045)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and delivers its results.
> - One task can need several runs and a saved workspace.
> - A run can succeed while the task waits for its next run.
> - Chat fallback treated that success as completion and dropped useful
status.
> - Monitor runs also lost their conversation origin, and text-question
cards lost their prompt.
> - This change preserves the task outcome and exact delivery authority
across those boundaries.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Slack task requested a repository, yielded to a scheduled
continuation, and showed only a generic completion message. The next run
could not publish through the original conversation. A later text
question showed its title and Respond button without the question
context. Workspace recovery could commit the saved monitor result
without restoring its explanation.

**Expected behavior**

The original conversation shows the accepted continuation explanation,
receives the resumed result, and displays the full question when input
is needed. A successful provider run does not claim that unfinished work
is complete. Recovery delivers saved output once without another
provider result.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start an authorized chat task, prepare a repository for a later
admission, save a monitor wait, and let that monitor resume the task.
Repeat with workspace finalization interrupted and with a free-text
question. Inspect the originating conversation and the persisted output.

Related merged work: #16806 and #16975. The open monitor and recovery
changes found during duplicate search address different status and
liveness policies.

## What Changed

- Keep committed monitor summaries visible through the shared board and
chat response resolver. Preserve interaction ownership and comment
reuse.
- Recover a saved monitor explanation after finalization, with no
repeated provider result.
- Prove monitor publication origin from the admitted wake and matching
scheduling receipt. Match company, task, agent, requester, and schedule;
reject ambiguous sources.
- Include monitor continuations in the existing publication scan and use
the canonical task binding. Keep current transport authorization.
- Suppress completion fallback for yielded results. Explain missing
final output without claiming completion.
- Include question summaries, prompts, and help text in modal-backed
cards. Keep answered text private.
- Update execution semantics, capability maps, and the bounded
reliability plan.

## Verification

- Original source fails four composed PostgreSQL regressions: monitor
origin, yielded completion, question body, and saved-summary recovery.
The shared response resolver also fails before the repair.
- Repaired focused cohort: 148 tests pass across publication, question
privacy, scheduler, and native monitor suites. These use real disposable
PostgreSQL; they do not qualify live Slack.
- Full workspace typecheck and production build pass locally. Map checks
and whitespace checks pass.
- All CI gates pass at 1701c48f17.
Greptile reports 5/5. Both review findings are resolved. The local
full-suite run remains separate.
- The added 21-admission lineage and cycle regressions pass with the
complete 11-test database suite.
- The larger live Codex/Claude qualification and deployed staging
acceptance remain in progress. This PR does not claim that milestone is
complete.

## Risks

- Incorrect lineage could disclose output to another conversation. The
resolver requires one exact receipt-backed source and the worker still
checks current delivery authority.
- Status recovery could duplicate output or compete with a question. The
source-run presentation marker, saved-comment reuse, interaction
arbitration, and replay tests protect those boundaries.
- No database migration or public task-status change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository editing, terminal tests, and
browser inspection. The runtime does not expose an exact deployment
model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 19e9facc5b perf(chat): wake delivery queues from commits and deadlines (#15802)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat connectors store incoming messages and outgoing publications in
durable queues.
> - The app checks these queues every second, even when they are empty.
> - Empty scans keep the database active and hinder instance sleep.
> - This pull request wakes three queue workers after transactions
settle and at known retry or recovery deadlines.
> - Empty queues stop scheduling checks. Existing rows retain their
ordering, retry, and recovery rules.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Idle database activity from incoming chat deliveries, outgoing
publications, and Slack upload receipt recovery.

**Subsystem affected**

`server/` — chat delivery and background work scheduling.

**Current behavior**

The app's one-second chat timer scans the three queues together with
provider and action maintenance. Empty queues continue to query
PostgreSQL.

**Proposed behavior**

Register three independent workers with the existing delivery
coordinator. Producers announce work inside their database transactions.
Commit wakes the corresponding worker. Startup restores outstanding
work; persisted retries and stale claims supply the next deadline. An
empty queue has no recurring scan.

**Reason and benefit**

Remove avoidable queue reads without requiring a new table, an external
scheduler, or a persistent PostgreSQL listener.

**Breaking changes**

No schema or public API change. Work notifications are scoped to the
app's shared database owner. Direct SQL and independent database roots
do not send these notifications; startup still scans durable work.

**Additional context**

Refs #15625, #15750, and #15757 for the preceding sleep work. Related:
#15153 reduces chat query allocation while retaining polling. This PR
changes when the three queue workers run; it does not add query caching.

## What Changed

- Register independent incoming delivery, publication, and Slack receipt
workers on the shared scheduler.
- Add transaction work signals at queue writes, endpoint state changes,
and action transitions that unblock publications. Keep provider I/O
outside the added transactions.
- Restore deadlines from durable retry times, abandoned claims, and
publication lease expiry. Share publication and receipt eligibility
rules between dispatch and deadline queries. Respect incoming
conversation order and lifecycle dependencies.
- Exclude publications blocked by unresolved Slack tool sends. Wake them
when the tool receipt changes.
- Wake publication dispatch when an endpoint send finishes so free slots
refill. Preserve per-endpoint concurrency, conversation order, and
conservative handling of uncertain sends.
- Wake receipt recovery when a stale publication becomes
`delivery_unknown`, and wake queues when a provider connection recovers.
- Commit interaction publications with their callback tokens so dispatch
cannot see an incomplete card.
- Keep provider runtimes, other action outboxes, milestone and
wake-notice projection, Teams protocol maintenance, GitHub recovery, and
Slack session synchronization on their existing maintenance cadence.
This PR does not make the whole chat subsystem idle.
- Update the instance sleep inventory with this partial migration and
its remaining work.

## Verification

- All 1,225 PostgreSQL chat integration cases passed across the three
hosted chat shards. These cover retry and lease deadlines, blocked
followers, unresolved Slack sends, provider recovery, commit visibility,
and endpoint slot refill.
- 32 local app-wiring, queue-worker, and delivery-coordinator tests
passed after updating the wiring assertion for event-driven dispatch.
Fake timers cover an hour of idle time without queue scans.
- Related publication, interaction, receipt, and wake-notice tests
passed locally. The 13 interaction integration cases include atomic
rollback when callback-token storage fails.
- Local `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and final server typecheck
passed. All hosted checks passed on the final commit, including build,
typecheck, test shards, release registry checks, and the canary dry run
(54 successful checks; two Storybook checks skipped for this backend
change).
- The last local PostgreSQL rerun was skipped because the embedded
database startup probe failed after five attempts. The hosted PostgreSQL
cases ran successfully; their skips only partition cases across shards.
- `git diff --check` passed. Greptile is 5/5 on the final commit with no
unresolved findings.

## Risks

- Every producer that makes queued work eligible must send a transaction
work signal. The tests exercise commit visibility, concurrent wakes,
worker failures, and restart recovery. Future direct SQL writers must
participate in this contract.
- The existing database work-signal layer reconciles uncertain
transaction outcomes. This PR adds no work-signal table or schema
migration.
- Provider and action maintenance still polls. Further changes are
required before an idle chat-enabled instance can sleep.
- Tests use real PostgreSQL with simulated provider responses; they do
not send messages through live provider accounts.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

0be2afcca6 feat(ui): improve task composer controls and pending input (#14322)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets operators assign tasks to AI agents and review their
work.
> - The task composer controls the next message and its assigned agent.
> - Operators needed a way to choose that agent's model and effort
without leaving the composer.
> - The old mode selector, upload button, and input cards made the
mobile composer crowded and hid normal messaging during a pending
decision.
> - Harnesses publish different model and effort capabilities, so the
picker must follow the selected agent.
> - This pull request adds one responsive composer flow, keeps pending
cards visible above it, and protects Codex ACP authentication in the
local test path.
> - Operators can choose run settings, send a message, and answer a
pending card as separate actions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task composer UI, issue thread interactions, Codex ACP credential
handling, and Storybook.

**Problem or motivation**

The composer did not expose model or effort for the selected agent.
Mobile actions wrapped poorly. Pending questions and confirmations
replaced the composer. A local Codex ACP test could also reuse host
authentication after the managed key was removed.

**Proposed solution**

Put assignee search, model search, exact model IDs, effort, and fast
mode in one picker. Use a mobile dialog. Replace the direct-upload plus
action and separate mode selector with an Add menu and removable Plan or
Ask chips. Place pending interaction cards above the usable composer.
Keep these cards pending after an ordinary message unless their creator
asks for comment superseding. Replace managed ACP auth files atomically
and isolate the test key from host credentials.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md does not list an overlapping composer milestone. This change
improves the existing task and review flows.

## What Changed

- Added the combined assignee, model, and effort picker to both task
composers. Search matches agent name, role, and harness. The server uses
a curated Codex list by default and honors instance-declared models.
Manual IDs remain available.
- Added an effort slider for known model capabilities, a conditional
Codex fast control, and reset. The picker opens in a modal on mobile.
- Added the Add menu for files, supported goals, Plan mode, and Ask
mode. Plan and Ask are exclusive removable chips. Keyboard mode cycling
remains available.
- Adjusted mobile spacing, avatars, wrapping, and Send placement.
Removed the composer divider.
- Moved pending question, confirmation, review, and related cards above
the composer. Ordinary comments now leave question and confirmation
cards pending by default. The onboarding prompt retains explicit comment
superseding.
- Updated the Storybook composer group with responsive states and the
production picker. Added UI, service, route, and browser regression
coverage.
- Isolated Codex ACP API-key authentication, skipped subscription auth
merge and shared-home copy-back for remote API-key runs, and replaced
the managed auth file atomically.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed on the final local head.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed on the final local head.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts
ui/src/components/task-chat/ComposerRunSettingsPicker.test.tsx` — 31
tests passed, including role and harness search, declared Codex models,
and filtering general OpenAI models.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts` — 74
tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` — 42 tests passed,
including remote API-key copy-back isolation.
- `pnpm test:run` — attempted locally; the embedded PostgreSQL test
database could not initialize on macOS. The isolated
`heartbeat-run-event-sequencing` suite reproduced that environment
failure. GitHub CI runs the full test matrix for this head.
- `pnpm build` — passed on the final head. `pnpm build-storybook` passed
after the last UI change; only server code, tests, and docs changed
afterward.
- Live local test drive — Codex ACP ran a task with a managed API key.
The test agent was restored to its default ACP configuration afterward.
- Review the interactive stories under the top-level Composer group with
`pnpm storybook`. Check a narrow desktop width and mobile Plan, Ask,
picker, and pending-question states.

## Risks

- A pending card stays open when an ordinary comment changes the
discussion. Its creator can set `supersedeOnUserComment: true` when a
new comment should replace it.
- Model and effort overrides persist on the task until reset or changed.
An unlisted manual model ID may fail when the provider runs it.
- Some harness catalogs do not report effort support. The picker hides
effort for those models.
- No database migration is required.

> 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 GPT-6 via Codex. This runtime does not expose the exact model ID
or context window to the task. The model used code execution and browser
tools.

DottaandPaperclip 992f720262 fix: make runner task context ownership explicit (#13753)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100). -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task descriptions, comments, continuation data, skills, and
execution rules enter several agent adapters.
> - The same source can be rendered by more than one automatic input
carrier.
> - Failed resumes can also rebuild input from stale or compact context.
> - This pull request gives each Paperclip-owned source one delivery
owner and preserves the required transport boundaries.
> - It adds deterministic adapter, interaction, runner, and browser
tests for these boundaries.
> - The benefit is more predictable context delivery with explicit
evidence for later live qualification.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13144 removes a duplicate environment payload and bounds wake
lists. Related: #11360 addresses Hermes resume behavior. This pull
request preserves compatible active-session formats while repairing
context ownership and stale question creation.

**What happened?**

Task descriptions and comments could enter more than one automatic
context block. Native transports could wrap a complete model input in a
second task envelope. Some legacy and gateway adapters could omit the
owned assignment on ordinary tasks or rebuild a failed resume with stale
compact context. A continuation could also request a question after
newer human comments had arrived.

**Expected behavior**

Each task or comment source has one automatic model-facing owner.
Distinct comment IDs and repeated wording remain distinct. Fresh
fallback attempts rebuild the required full context. A question request
is rejected when newer queued human direction makes it stale. Harness
access policy remains owned by execution configuration.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Build a task with a description and current comments.
2. Capture the actual adapter or runner input.
3. Compare source ownership and task-envelope nesting.
4. Queue a human comment before a continuation requests a question.
5. Trigger a failed resume and inspect the fresh retry input.
6. Run the focused adapter, interaction, runner, and browser checks.

## What Changed

- Add shared prompt-section selection at the provider-attempt boundary.
- Deliver owned assignment context through native, legacy CLI, ACP,
gateway, cloud, Pi, Kimi, Grok, Gemini, OpenCode, Cursor, OpenClaw, and
Hermes paths.
- Rebuild full or compact context after resume recovery changes the
attempt. Add native and Claude ACP tests of actual recovery requests.
- Preserve custom templates, loaded instruction files, execution
policies, and older active-session formats.
- Record continuation source metadata and reject stale question creation
under the issue-row lock.
- Add explicit Product E2E context-integrity profiles, prerequisite
gates, credential-isolation checks, and report fixtures.
- Bypass service-worker forwarding for same-origin Vite development
modules. A real Chromium test fails with resource exhaustion before the
repair and passes after it. Production asset caching keeps its existing
policy.
- Add browser diagnostics and service-worker module-loading regressions.
- Add an explicit zero-retry eval option. The default retry behavior
remains unchanged. Each campaign records its effective policy.
- Remove the model-facing working-directory sentence from four prompt
builders. Existing workspace, sandbox, permission, and custom-template
configuration remains unchanged.
- Align the everyday workflow assertion with the current 47-entry
catalog.

Compared with current upstream master, the branch carries the
context-ownership implementation and its tests, the explicit
context-integrity catalog and evidence harness, and the focused browser
regression checks.

## Verification

**Merge assessment:** focused regression evidence supports merge. This
is not full completion of the original broad qualification matrix. The
maintainer has authorized merge after fresh verification of the master
integration.

- Current head: `bbd52f82114eabf09bc7b1a7e97d54a5b43bbc00`. This
integrates current master `2f585ef26a1814fa209715242d1ca791b63e4c4e`.
All 14 conflicts are resolved. Cancellation checks, workspace
finalization, native Grok support, and both sets of tests are retained.
- Current-head Greptile: **5/5**, with no blocking findings. The review
names this exact commit. All **59 reported checks are terminal: 55
successful, 4 skipped, zero pending or failing**. This includes the full
root general and serialized suites, separate runner checks, typecheck,
build, canary, browser E2E, Docker, and security checks. The successful
legacy security status is included in that total.
- After integration: workspace typecheck and full build passed. Separate
runner checks passed: **2,160 TypeScript tests (10 skipped), 582 Rust
tests, and 39 preparation checks**. Other passing checks include 621
Product E2E harness units, 376 focused shared/adapter tests, 160
real-database/API tests, 86 Hermes tests, 18 browser-support checks, and
Product E2E typechecking. The complete root suite passed in CI. The
duplicate local monolithic root run was stopped after that CI result; it
is not counted as a completed local pass.
- New native recovery coverage retains full assignment, completion
contract, and explicit skill selection after safe replacement, for old
and prepared input formats. Full native session test file: **136/136
passed**.
- New Claude ACP coverage captures actual fresh, resumed, and
missing-session fallback requests. It verifies one assignment copy,
comment order, identical text under distinct comment IDs, and full
fallback context. Full file: **33/33 passed**. Both affected TypeScript
checks passed.
- Existing deterministic tests cover source revisions, approval and
trust boundaries, completion validation, custom templates, compatible
sessions, standalone driver wrapping, and maintained adapter transport
requests.
- Provider-free browser support: **17/17 passed** after the master
merge. Service-worker unit tests: **33/33 passed**. The module-overload
regression failed before the repair and passed after it in real
Chromium.

### Fresh live comparisons

The new batch ran exactly four Product E2E attempts. **All four passed
on the first attempt; no retries.** Each has six terminal matchers plus
the existing browser lifecycle and invariant checks.

| Exact case ID | Control | Candidate |
|---|---|---|
| `core-compatibility.runner-codex.local.plan-revise-accept` | Passed |
Passed |
|
`local-session-integrity.runner-acpx-claude.local.structured-question-restart-resume`
| Passed | Passed |

The plan case checks a revised canonical plan and revision-bound
approval before completion. The question case restarts the server before
submitting the answer, then verifies the continuation completes.

Control source is `dfa4e1bda8d50a1a01746603251a9128dbe9d0d6`. Candidate
source is `79fcdb5dece501d28064ea9da306603881b46f0c`. They use identical
frozen definitions and provider versions: Codex `0.156.0` with
`gpt-5.6-sol`; ACPX `0.13.1` / Claude ACP `0.73.0` with
`claude-sonnet-5`. The September 24 head added master browser recovery
and test-only changes. The September 28 head also integrates newer
master changes, including cancellation, workspace finalization, and
native Grok. These are frozen-source live results, not exact-head live
runs.

The candidate received one description copy where the control initially
received three. The submitted initial plan envelopes were 7,969 versus
19,097 characters. Question envelopes were 7,592 versus 18,919. These
are structural measurements, not whole-provider token or dollar savings.

### Earlier evidence and failed attempts

- The preceding fresh batch has four effective passing pairs: OpenCode
comment continuation and assigned skill, native Codex comment
continuation, and native Claude comment continuation. It retains **11
attempts: eight passed and three failed**.
- Original failures remain recorded: missing local PostgreSQL library
links before task creation; host-sleep cleanup after task/page checks
passed; and a Claude **control** session-open rejection before a model
turn. Setup was repaired identically on both worktrees. The permitted
unchanged infrastructure retries passed. The underlying Claude provider
startup error was not retained and remains unknown.
- Older R2 retains **17 passes and one failure** across 18 attempts,
including eight both-pass native/legacy Codex/Claude pairs. Its OpenCode
blank-page failure led to the service-worker repair. R2 is historical
evidence: master changed the native fixed prompt and removed duplicate
wake environment data afterward.
- The September 24 CI run initially failed one unrelated preview
readiness test (`ECONNREFUSED` on its local fixture). Its test and
production code match master. Isolated local verification passed **28
tests, 3 skipped**. One unchanged CI retry passed the full shard: **831
passed, 1 skipped**, including all **31 preview-exposure tests**. The
aggregate CI gate passed afterward. The precise startup cause remains
unknown; a port race is a hypothesis, not a proved cause.

### Limits

The original wider profile/workflow matrix, repeated trials, and remote
Daytona qualification are incomplete. These results support a focused
merge recommendation, not statistical equivalence or universal harness
qualification. Some usage receipts are missing in both variants, so no
token or dollar savings are claimed. The $500 ceiling was preserved
using conservative allowances; failed attempts and unknown charges
remain in the ledger.

Reproduce the focused additions with `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` and `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/native-session-runtime.test.ts`. Full checks use `pnpm -r
typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, `pnpm build`, and the separate runner
checks. Paid evals require the frozen definitions, profiles, and
credentials; do not use `--all` as a substitute for the selected cases.

## Risks

- Context placement changes can affect model behavior. Deterministic
checks cover the selected paths, but live qualification remains
incomplete.
- The stale-question guard can reject a request when queued human
comments arrived during the run. This is intended.
- New stored inputs and model envelopes retain compatibility readers for
older active sessions.
- Custom templates may intentionally repeat content.
- Removing a model-facing working-directory sentence does not change
filesystem, command, sandbox, or permission configuration.
- The worker bypass applies only to same-origin development module
paths. Cache-policy tests preserve private-response handling and
production asset caching. Mounted HTTP fixture changes remain test-only.
- This PR does not claim measured token savings or statistical
equivalence across every harness.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model gpt-6-astra, with repository tools and code
execution. Bounded supporting work used gpt-5.6-luna and gpt-6-luna. The
serving context-window size is not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip 889947c238 feat: add experimental native chat connectors (#13038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.

## What Changed

- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.

## Verification

Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.

- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.

- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.

- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.

- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.

- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.

- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.

- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.

Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.

## Risks

- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).
