DottaandPaperclip a7dd5284b5 feat: add company fast-response acknowledgements (#15748)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Human messages start agent work through task, chat, and
external-channel intake.
> - Agent startup can delay the first visible response.
> - A small direct model call can acknowledge the request while normal
work starts.
> - This response must remain separate from evidence that the agent
answered or completed work.
> - This pull request adds optional company-wide fast responses with
durable receipts, access checks, and cost accounting.
> - Users receive prompt acknowledgement without changing the agent
execution path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: database, shared contracts, server orchestration,
connections, and UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Users can wait for an agent to start before they receive a contextual
response. Generic progress messages do not confirm what the user asked.
An acknowledgement must not falsely complete work or satisfy an
unanswered turn.

**Proposed solution**

Add a disabled-by-default experimental fast-response model using an
existing shared API connection. Generate one short acknowledgement for
each accepted human turn. Use the existing agent identity and external
publication outboxes. Retain platform provenance and account for the
inference independently.

**Alternatives considered**

Running the acknowledgement through the agent runtime adds startup
latency. Restricting implementation to OpenRouter leaves other existing
API connections unsupported. This change supports all existing API
connections and uses OpenRouter for live verification.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends existing agent communication and connection settings.
ROADMAP.md and open pull requests were checked. No duplicate
fast-response implementation was found. The maintainer supplied the
feature plan directly.

## What Changed

- Add Experimental fast responses to instance settings. Keep the feature
off by default. Enforce the flag at intake, dispatch, and publication.
- Move Decision model and Fast response setup to company Settings →
Connections when the experiment is enabled. Place Connections below
Environments. Separate the model sections with clear headings and a
divider. Keep Decision model in General when the experiment is off.
Route Costs setup links to the available settings page.
- Make the acknowledgement prompt a multiline template string. Ask for a
brief, positive response in the user’s language.

- Add settings, connection/model selection, sponsorship, fixed-sample
testing, and Costs history.
- Add a Vercel AI SDK text service for existing native, routed, Bedrock,
and local API connections.
- Add durable per-turn requests, a bounded worker, a three-second
admission deadline, and one inference attempt.
- Integrate task creation, task and agent chat, steering, queued
follow-ups, experimental board chat, shared chat intake, and email.
- Preserve receipt provenance and exclude receipts from completion,
recovery, interaction resolution, and agent wakeups.
- Recheck authorization, source validity, real replies, budgets, and
destination binding before publication. Preserve accounting for
suppressed or uncertain outcomes.
- Add provider contracts, database race tests, channel outbox tests, UI
tests, Stories, and documentation. Keep decision-model execution
unchanged.

## Verification

- Local `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and UI token gates pass after
rebase. The UI typecheck and build also pass after the final navigation
fixes. All 37 focused navigation tests pass. The first full local `pnpm
test:run` invocation reported seven chat failures. All seven passed in
isolated reruns after fixture updates and host cleanup. This invocation
was stopped after the full final-head CI suite passed.
- Initial local database tests hit macOS shared-memory exhaustion. A
diagnostic confirmed `shmget: No space left on device` with the system
limit of 32 IDs. Three abandoned, unattached PostgreSQL IPC headers were
reclaimed. The isolated rerun passed all 31 fast-response and channel
tests. The two additional Slack regression cases also passed in a
separate rerun. No active database was stopped.
- UI token gates pass. Provider contract tests cover all supported API
connection types. Fast-response tests cover uniqueness, authorization,
budgets, expiry, cancellation, restart, real-reply races, and the
experimental flag.
- The test drive verified that disabling the experiment hides
Connections and redirects its direct URL. Enabling it restores the saved
OpenRouter setup. After restart on the final commit, the OpenRouter
settings sample returned “Sure, I’ll take care of fixing the border
around the settings panel.” in 428 ms. It used 260 input and 31 output
tokens and recorded $0.0000576 in reported cost.
- Earlier live OpenRouter verification produced a receipt in 1.013
seconds for a new task. The real agent then supplied its substantive
answer. A separate settings test took 1.34 seconds, used 246 input and
23 output tokens, and recorded $0.0000361.
- Live Slack verification on final commit
`24016fa525961ebc7a4acffdc5019ce123970549` passed for a fresh initial
task and a follow-up in a disposable bot DM. The initial acknowledgement
appeared 2.405 seconds after the Slack message and 1.413 seconds after
durable acceptance; the follow-up appeared in 2.322 seconds and 1.160
seconds respectively. The recorded generation/settlement durations were
898 ms and 697 ms. The initial call used 291 input / 39 output tokens
and cost $0.00006705; the follow-up used 281 / 47 and cost $0.00007035.
- The Slack acknowledgements retained the assigned agent identity and
`origin: fast_response`, source-turn references, and no fabricated run
ID. A status snapshot after the initial receipt showed the task still
`in_progress` with its real execution run. The agent then read the CSV
fixture and correctly reported two ready items, two blockers, and their
owners. Both replies stayed in the originating DM, and no duplicate
generic working message followed the delivered contextual
acknowledgements. The `new` command started a fresh conversation session
without generating a fast response.
- An earlier eligible Slack turn generated a response but suppressed
publication. Its reported cost was retained, generic progress remained,
and the real agent completed the requested result. This is recorded
separately from the two delivered acknowledgements; the history did not
expose a precise suppression reason.
- Slack verification used real signed provider events, the existing
intake/publication paths, and a user-approved temporary webhook-only
HTTPS tunnel. Subscriptions were limited to direct-message events. The
test bot was paused and the tunnel stopped afterward. Live
channel/group-thread and GitHub journeys remain unverified; their mocked
tests cover intake, destination binding, publication, and continued
underlying work.
- Greptile reviewed final commit
`24016fa525961ebc7a4acffdc5019ce123970549` at 5/5. Both new review
findings are fixed and all threads are resolved. [Final-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38060015730)
passed. This includes grouped server/chat/workspace tests, serialized
suites, runner checks, browser journeys, typecheck, build, release
registry, policy, and the canary dry run.
- Manual check: enable Experimental fast responses. Open company
Settings → Connections. Select a shared API connection and model. Save
and use Test response. Submit a task message and confirm that its
receipt does not complete the task.

## Risks

- The migration adds receipt and configuration tables plus accounting
references. It uses idempotent statements and follows the current
migration sequence.
- A slow provider, authorization change, or real-agent reply can
suppress an acknowledgement. Existing progress feedback remains
available.
- Unknown provider billing retains a reservation until reconciliation.
External deliveries with uncertain outcomes must not be blindly
repeated.
- Live Slack initial-task and follow-up DM journeys pass. Live Slack
channel/group-thread and GitHub journeys remain unverified. The PR
remains a draft and records these gaps. Final-head repository CI and
automated review pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser interaction. The runtime does not expose an exact
model snapshot ID or context-window size; these are not asserted.

DottaandPaperclip 417db14e7d fix: show credential access errors in task chat (#15741)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use AI connections to run tasks for a responsible user.
> - A connection can deny access when its owner has not shared it with
that user.
> - The task conversation hides this cause behind a collapsed failure
marker.
> - People need to see which connection blocked the agent and how to fix
it.
> - This pull request shows an expanded access error in the task
conversation.
> - The error names the agent and connection, and links to the agent's
AI settings.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A task could fail because its responsible user could not use the agent's
AI connection. The user saw a temporary error toast and a collapsed task
failure. The task did not clearly explain the access problem.

**Expected behavior**

The task should show a visible error that names the agent, the
connection, and the person who lacks access. For example: "Codie is
configured to use Dotta's API Key, but you don't have access to that
credential." It should offer a link to change the AI connection.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure an agent with a personal AI connection.
2. Start a task for a user who cannot use that connection.
3. Open the task after the run fails.
4. Check that the access error stays visible and links to AI settings.

Refs #15714. That change classifies expected connection-sharing denials.
This change makes the same failure clear in task chat.

## What Changed

- Keep the connection display name in private error metadata when a
sharing check denies access.
- Store a private grant reference for the name visibility check. Use one
rule for task summaries and full run responses. Show the name to the
affected user and the connection sharing audience. Other task readers
see a generic label. Strip grant IDs from public run responses.
- Show an expanded error card for native and legacy task runs. Use "you"
only when the viewer is the responsible user.
- Link to AI settings and the failed run. Preserve names on resumed
native runs. Hide the old error after a newer successful attempt.
- Add full task-page Storybook examples, focused tests, and design
guidance.

## Verification

- Passed 249 focused tests for task chat, error text, private error
metadata, and the real database run summary. These include resumed
native runs and viewer access rules.
- Passed all UI token gates on the rebased branch.
- Checked the production task page in Storybook. Verified the viewer's
error, another user's error, mobile layout, and a newer successful
attempt.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` in a clean checkout with
Node 24 and the pinned pnpm version. Passed the final server typecheck
after the response filter changes.
- Passed the real database route regression for the connection owner,
affected user, and another task reader. Passed the registered secret
redaction tests.
- The local route checks needed `--testTimeout 60000` for cold imports.
A broader local route run hit cold-import timeouts and an old fixture
assertion that is now fixed. The duplicate local `pnpm test:run`
aggregate was stopped to free resources. The full suite passed in CI
with the normal timeouts.
- Passed the full [final-commit CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37996148342),
including all server, UI, runner, browser, typecheck, build, and canary
packaging gates. All 54 executed checks passed; two Storybook jobs were
skipped. Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5 with no remaining
findings, and every review thread is resolved.
- Review the Storybook group `Task / Credential access` for the notice
and full task-page examples.

## Risks

- Only the allowed connection display name enters the compact run
summary. Credential secrets, grant IDs, and arbitrary error details do
not enter it.
- Existing runs can lack the connection name. They show a clear fallback
message.
- The notice uses the existing task-run relevance rules. A newer attempt
or a completed task hides the old failure.
- No schema migration or API permission change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with tool execution and browser
verification. The exact serving variant and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4b2bd6563d fix(chat): hide obsolete execution status and system notices (#14874)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people oversee agent work through task conversations.
> - Conversations should show failures and waits that still affect the
task.
> - Old run errors and recovery notices remained visible after later
work or task completion.
> - These messages looked current even when no action remained.
> - This change hides obsolete execution status while preserving the
responses and activity.
> - The full diagnostic record stays available in run history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Task chat kept showing “Run failed”, “Stopped”, and “Waiting to resume”
after the execution had been superseded or the task had finished. Stored
system notices also remained in the conversation. Completed tasks
disabled Retry but kept the error message.

**Expected behavior**

Hide system status that no longer applies. Keep the latest unresolved
failure, active recovery holds, and useful recovery actions visible.
Preserve messages, files, questions, session boundaries, and inspectable
activity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Let a task run fail, then record a pre-start recovery wait.
2. Complete a later attempt or mark the task done.
3. Open the task conversation. Before this change, the old error and
wait remain visible.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced in component tests against `0f9e9be408`.

**Deployment mode**

Task chat in local or hosted deployments; both legacy adapters and the
native runner.

Related: #14857 and #14869 address execution recovery. This PR addresses
the remaining conversation presentation. Searched GitHub for historical
chat status, historical errors, and “Waiting to resume”; no duplicate PR
found.

## What Changed

- Determine status relevance from task state, attempt order, successor
evidence, and recovery state. Time alone does not hide errors.
- Hide obsolete run markers and stored execution notices. Require run or
recovery provenance, so unrelated system updates such as child-task
blockers remain visible. Keep errors from the latest failed attempt
actionable.
- Keep unresolved execution holds visible. A refused pre-start retry
does not replace a real attempt, and another agent’s work does not
resolve a run-specific error.
- Show historical activity without Worked/Stopped labels. Keep
historical failures out of the current turn’s summary.
- Anchor activity to visible comments so removing a notice cannot remove
the response or activity with it.
- Document the presentation rules and cover both runner modes and both
task presentation modes.

## Verification

- 334 focused component and status-policy tests passed across four
files, including the child-task relay regressions.
- `pnpm build` passed. The UI build also passed after the final
presentation changes.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui`: 667 files and 7,157
tests passed. Subsequent focused tests cover the final activity-anchor,
live-successor, and notice-provenance changes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. UI typecheck and build passed again after
the review fix.
- `pnpm test:run` completed its general-server phase with 14,716 tests
passed, 17 failed, and 87 skipped; it stopped before later phases. The
failures occurred in four unchanged server suites: chat channels, email
channels, company skills, and runtime skill cache. A targeted rerun
reproduced missing bundled skill paths and `EACCES` during
cache-directory rename on macOS. All Linux CI suites pass for the final
commit, including these server suites.
- Design token gates and diff checks pass.
- All 53 checks pass on commit `7af9753859`; two optional Storybook
checks are skipped. [Final CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36931968751)
includes build, full typecheck, all server and workspace test shards,
all eight end-to-end shards, runner verification, and the canary dry
run.
- Greptile scores the final commit at 5/5. No review threads remain
unresolved. The branch is current with `master` and has no merge
conflicts.

## Risks

This changes presentation only. It does not change execution, recovery,
stored comments, or run history. The main risk is hiding a current
diagnostic too early. Tests cover active holds, refused retries,
different agents, missing timestamps and provenance, live successors,
preserved responses, and the current retry target.

The base branch has a dependency override/lockfile mismatch. Local
installation used the same resolution fallback as CI, then restored the
tracked lockfile. No dependency changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6). The exact runtime model identifier and context
window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, and regression tests.

DottaandPaperclip d72389bee2 feat: add Browser Use Cloud connector and live task browsers (#14627)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps gateway gives agents governed access to external tools.
> - Browser Use Cloud can run browser work, but a tool result alone does
not let a person watch or take over.
> - A task needs a durable browser session, a visible viewer, and
recorded costs.
> - This pull request adds a Browser Use Cloud v4 connection and
interactive browser tabs on tasks.
> - People can follow the work, interact with the page, and retain the
browser after the agent finishes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Agents need governed access to Browser Use Cloud. People need to see and
interact with the same browser from the task. A browser must remain
available after a run finishes and appear at the correct point in the
task feed.

**Proposed solution**

Add a native REST connection for the v4 API. Bind each session to its
company, task, agent, and credential grant. Open its interactive viewer
in the task side panel. Record provider costs as financial events. Use
`browser-use-cloud` as the app and connector key. Keep its skill with
the connector and deliver it only with authorized connection tools.

**Alternatives considered**

A v3 MCP connection would expose tools without the v4 lifecycle
integration. An external viewer link would leave the task. A fixed
viewer size would prevent pages from responding to changes in the task
pane.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the governed Apps gateway and Connected Apps roadmap. It
uses the existing task, grant, secret, approval, and financial records.
The work was requested by the maintainer. A search found no duplicate
Browser Use connector PR or issue.

## What Changed

- Add the Browser Use Cloud app, brand asset, API-key connection, and
profile settings under the `browser-use-cloud` key.
- Bundle the `browser-use-cloud` skill with the connector. Keep it out
of global `skills/` discovery. Deliver it only with authorized task/run
connection tools. Remove retired connector skill keys from runtime
overlays and preserve unrelated browser skills.
- Expose seven v4 tools through the governed gateway and deliver them to
native and CLI agents.
- Persist sessions, browsers, runs, event and recovery cursors, shutdown
leases, and cumulative cost accounting. Recover uncertain paid starts
without replaying them.
- Enforce task ownership, credential grants, approvals, revoked access,
and budget limits.
- Add interactive task browser tabs and compact chronological feed
entries. Retain the viewer across tab switches and keep visible idle
browsers open.
- Add debounced automatic viewport fitting, standard size presets, and a
viewer ownership lease.
- Add lifecycle, authorization, accounting, viewport, UI, and Storybook
coverage.
- Add an idempotent database migration after the current master
migration. Preserve deployed migration hashes. Migrate pre-release Cloud
connection and financial keys without replacing grants, credentials, or
browser history.
- Document provider behavior, live acceptance results, and the lack of
documented passkey forwarding.

## Verification

- Full workspace typecheck and production build pass on the updated
branch.
- Token gates, brand asset validation, module boundaries, and migration
ordering pass.
- Cloud tests verify global skill exclusion, authorized task/run
delivery, unassigned agents, disabled connections, revocation, adapter
isolation, and secret exclusion. The existing AgentMail connector
assignment test also passes.
- Migration replay runs twice against existing browser work and
financial records. It preserves the records and avoids duplicate costs.
- The focused provider, app catalog, OpenAPI, connection gateway, and
migration regression suites pass. Recovery coverage includes lost
replies, process crashes, provider rejection, and browser arrival
acknowledgement.
- All 54 checks pass on `2974b5f03641ad0cea3c941d8c02579316fa8c92`,
including the full test matrix, browser E2E shards, build, typecheck,
security, and release canary. Two optional Storybook jobs are skipped.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the same commit, with zero unresolved review
threads. The corrected review uses the actual master-to-head diff.
- The local `pnpm test:run` started and was stopped after the full CI
matrix passed. It did not complete locally; the full-suite result above
comes from CI.
- Earlier live acceptance used an isolated company with a capped
provider credential. The agent opened paperclip.ing, the embedded viewer
accepted navigation, and the same browser stayed available after
completion and tab switches.
- The local Storybook build passes. Stories cover the panel, footer,
feed entries, settings, lifecycle failures, and viewport modes with an
offline viewer fixture.

## Risks

- Browser Use charges for hosted work. Provider caps and local budget
checks reduce exposure; reported costs can arrive after work completes.
- Viewer and CDP URLs grant access to the browser. The server validates
and restricts them. They are excluded from agent results and durable
event data.
- Runtime resizing of v4 agent browsers uses a provider option confirmed
by live testing but absent from its published agent schema. Resizing
during a click may invalidate coordinates. Fixed presets remain
available.
- Viewport ownership is process-local and resets on restart. The
lifecycle and accounting records remain in the database.
- The original intermittent embedded-viewer stall has not been fully
diagnosed. A bounded reconnect and active-session recovery cover the
observed failure paths.
- Live tests did not cover every revocation, approval, rate-limit, or
restart case. Deterministic integration tests cover those paths. Passkey
forwarding is not claimed.
- Unknown create outcomes keep the credential available for cleanup.
Run-list absence cannot prove a paid POST was rejected, so recovery
stays pending until it can identify provider work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Used reasoning, repository search, code execution,
browser interaction, and test tools. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 74a9730acb fix: continue native agent chats after worker loss (#13813)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat uses native workers to run Claude and Codex
conversations.
> - A worker crash leaves a cleanup hold because its provider did not
acknowledge suspension.
> - A new user message must not reuse that unverified session or repeat
old tool calls.
> - The existing continuation path can preserve history and start a
fresh session, but local cleanup ownership remained held.
> - This pull request verifies the stopped local owners and releases
only their cleanup hold for a new user turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13775.

**What happened?**

After a native worker crashed, both providers retained cleanup
quarantine. A saved plan survived, but the conversation could not
produce another answer.

**Expected behavior**

Once the old worker and provider process groups have stopped, a new user
message can continue in a fresh session with the saved work and prior
action history.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the opt-in `agent-chat-qualification` suite with case
`worker-crash-retry` on native Codex and native Claude. The fixture
saves a plan, kills the exact worker through a Linux pidfd, releases a
local read-only brief, and sends a new message.

## What Changed

- Verify the exact local worker stop receipt, provider identity
receipts, released leases, and retained state before retiring a native
cleanup hold.
- Recheck process liveness and state before admission. Keep the old run
and durable session files intact.
- Use the existing explicit conversation continuation path. Generic
Retry remains blocked for cleanup quarantine, including on the old
failed-run marker after a successful continuation.
- Extend the live oracle to require a successful fresh session, correct
predecessor context, unchanged plan, one original message, and one
answer containing a reference introduced after the crash.
- Add physical-proof and database-backed admission tests. Document the
precise qualification scope.

## Verification

- Live Product E2E: **2/2 passed**, **2/2 cleanup passed**, with real
native `gpt-5.6-sol` and `claude-sonnet-5`, Chromium, server, database,
and public APIs.
- Core recovery proof source:
`3592b04c2bc76e23795fcdf964720e38a409dc4d`. Suite definition version 8:
`9867367994d81a0c726956d91f2c7fddab6417a12f41b5cef3f7e62f3be417da`.
- [Core recovery

· [Public evidence
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35741746990-1/).
- Both cells verify the real crash boundary, blocked generic Retry,
unchanged saved plan, one original prompt, one fresh successor with
predecessor context, and one run-attributed answer containing the
post-crash reference. Billing coverage is partial because the crashed
runs did not report complete usage; missing cost is not zero cost.
- [Master
baseline](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35737364443):
both providers stopped at quarantine, with cleanup passing.
- [Follow-up baseline without the
fix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35738638866):
Codex produced a complete red result. Claude reached the same error, but
its artifact upload was canceled.
- [Complete Claude baseline with the same version-8
definition](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740555177):
red at cleanup quarantine, cleanup passed, source
`6479a90c5754044356b39a9278b9a3e92ce8e55e`.
- Earlier candidate attempts remain retained:
[first](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35738449214)
passed Codex and found a Claude fixture wait race;
[second](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740408065)
exposed the normalized session-open receipt mismatch. Both corrections
are in the final source.
- Targeted server suites: 570 passed before the final two additional
receipt regression cases. The physical-proof suite, including those
cases, passed 46/46. Eval oracle and catalog: 40 passed. Server and
Product E2E typechecks passed.
- **All 54 PR checks passed on final head `db6f775df`**, including
repository typecheck, build, tests, browser shards, and canary dry run.
The canary job required one retry after its runner received a shutdown
signal. On the earlier core proof head, two timing-sensitive tests
passed in isolation and on a single CI retry.
- Final UI regression checks: 5 passed; UI typecheck and token gates
passed. Updated eval oracle/catalog: 40 passed; eval typecheck passed.
- Final version-9 two-provider campaign: **2/2 passed, 2/2 cleanup
passed**, including the browser assertion that the quarantined
historical run never regains Try again. [Final
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35747416013),
source `db6f775dfff405e1514ec02fedb0450d42c7dad2`, definition hash
`bf5abf1cc45cb6dad4e082fbf818b8fa0f4d8c282776a7e98762b22919eadab7`.
[Final public evidence
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35747416013-1/).
Final screenshots and retained state inspected for both providers; cost
coverage remains partial.

## Risks

- Missing or conflicting stop evidence keeps the conversation blocked.
This change does not kill an unverified process.
- This qualifies new user input after local worker loss. It does not
enable automatic replay, exact-session recovery, remote crash recovery,
or native onboarding defaults.
- Old action outcomes remain part of the continuation. A process exit is
not proof that an action did not happen.
- No schema migration or production prompt change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The runtime does not expose a more specific model
identifier or context-window size. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, code editing, shell tools, and test execution.

1ef3b08714 feat(ui): integrate agent personas across the app (#13171)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A stable agent persona is useful only when the same identity appears
across the app.
> - Lists, task messages, selectors, and activity feeds need inexpensive
static avatars.
> - Onboarding and agent headers need a larger character with
expressions and pointer tracking.
> - This pull request connects the persona foundation to those existing
views and preserves onboarding draft assignments.
> - Full-page stories and Linux checks make the placements and
performance contract reviewable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Agents need a stable visual identity in lists, tasks, onboarding, and
configuration. External tools also need an image URL for that identity.

**Proposed solution**

Assign each agent a permanent palette from a fixed ClipLab character
library. Store the assignment on the agent. Render and cache preset PNG
URLs on demand. Use static images in dense views and one animated
character in larger placements.

**Alternatives considered**

A generated image bundle requires a separate asset build. A live
renderer in every avatar adds unnecessary work in large lists. Arbitrary
uploaded images do not provide the requested shared character system.

**Roadmap alignment**

This improves agent identity across existing control-plane views. It
preserves agent permissions, company boundaries, and status labels.
ROADMAP.md has no separate ClipLab persona milestone.

Related approaches: #2422 adds configurable image URLs and DiceBear
generation; #5578 adds optional uploaded avatars. This work uses a
fixed, versioned character library and preset URLs.

## What Changed

- Replace agent icons with static persona images across lists, the
sidebar, org charts, tasks, comments, selectors, activity, and dashboard
views.
- Put one animated character in the agent header. Let it follow the
pointer across the page, with reduced-motion and touch fallbacks.
- Add larger padded characters to agent creation. Keep the palette
stable across draft refreshes and connection retries, then reveal it
after success.
- Pass appearance through shared projections rather than fetching each
agent separately.
- Add real full-page Storybook examples for the agent list, overview,
task, dashboard, new-agent dialog, and connection page.
- Add Linux screenshot, clipping, density, and 500-avatar performance
checks.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and token gates pass on the rebased
tree. Persona lifecycle tests pass.
- The rebased feature passes 38 Linux screenshot/performance checks,
including both display densities, corner pointer positions, and the
no-WebGL/no-live-download contract for 500 avatars.
- The final Linux persona suite passes all 38 visual, lifecycle,
density, and full-page checks using the standard Storybook configuration
and real on-demand avatar endpoint.
- Final local focused verification: 45 avatar/native-recovery tests
pass; UI identity/routine tests, typecheck/build, token gates, and
Storybook build pass.
- Current-head CI passes: full workspace/server tests, all serialized
server groups, typecheck/release checks, build, canary validation, and
end-to-end shards. The build passed after retrying a native-runner
concurrency-test failure; its three targeted cases also pass locally.
- Manual inspection covered stable identities in the app, header
placement, full-page mouse tracking, onboarding size, and task/dashboard
placements.


### Screenshots

Linux captures use synthetic Storybook fixtures. Full-page captures use
reduced motion. The live character, mouse tracking, and disposal are
checked separately.

width="900" alt="Dashboard agent activity" />

</details>

## Risks

- This PR depends on #13170, the persona foundation. Merge the
foundation first, then retarget this PR to master.
- Many placements change from icons to character silhouettes. Human
avatars and authoritative agent status labels retain their existing
behavior.
- Only one character can render live per view. Reduced motion,
hidden/offscreen content, touch input, and renderer failures use the
defined fallbacks.
- The full-page stories use fixture data. They do not contact a real
company or complete real provider sign-in.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model identifier and context
window are not exposed in this session. Used code editing, shell
execution, browser inspection, and Linux visual testing.

DottaandPaperclip 9fd2e50310 feat: create company skills from runner tasks (#13538)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Runner gives agents tools to change company resources.
> - Users need agents to save reusable skills during a task.
> - A saved skill needs a visible result that users can inspect and
edit.
> - This pull request adds `create_skill` and a task feed card linked to
Skill Studio.
> - Users can open the saved skill from the task and edit the same
resource.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Runner tools, company skill storage, task feed, and Skill Studio.

**Problem or motivation**

The Runner has no dedicated tool to create a company skill. A user
cannot follow a creation result from the task feed to the saved skill.

**Proposed solution**

Add a company-scoped `create_skill` tool. Save the skill with the
existing company policy. Add one creation card to the task. Open a named
sidebar tab from that card. Let the user open the same skill in Skill
Studio.

**Alternatives considered**

An agent can write a local file, but that file is not a company skill. A
second document copy in the task would become stale after a Studio edit.
The sidebar therefore reads the saved skill directly.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the shipped Skills Manager, Skill Studio, and Skills Store
milestone. The maintainer requested and approved this scope. Search
found no duplicate `create_skill` PR or issue. Related UI validation
work: #8715. This PR does not change that validation display.

## What Changed

- Add the real Runner tool, its contract, and its mock implementation.
- Validate the complete SKILL.md and derive company, task, agent, and
run identity from authentication.
- Apply the existing company skill policy. Do not assign the skill to an
agent.
- Make keyed retries return one skill and one creation event. Reject
conflicting retries.
- Make concurrent file creation safe. Never replace an existing
published skill during creation.
- Add a creation card, a named sidebar tab, and an Open in Skill Studio
action.
- Show saved Studio edits when the user returns to the task.
- Add storage, policy, mode, retry, UI, and Product E2E tests. Document
the tool.
- Fix deleted-name reuse, onboarding panel persistence, immediate feed
refresh, and mock validation parity from review.
- Serialize Studio file edits and renames with skill deletion and
recreation. Reject stale editor requests before they can change a
replacement skill.
- Generate the standalone mock parser and validator from the production
contract. Use portable UUIDs so the browser scenario bundle builds.

## Verification

- All latest-head PR checks pass on `145dd76a5`, including all server
shards, browser E2E, Runner verification, build, typecheck, and release
dry run. Greptile: 5/5 with no open findings. An interrupted CI runner
was retried successfully.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Review regressions: 73 storage tests, 6 real API tests, 63 UI tests,
and 61 semantic runtime tests passed. Parser synchronization passed.
- CI exposed existing fire-and-forget Sentry test races. Reproduced the
resumption race locally, then synchronized the related sweep and
finalizer assertions on the actual report; all 27 tests across the three
affected files pass.
- Runner scenario browser build and strict content-security-policy
check: passed.
- Runner suite: 2,012 tests passed; 10 skipped.
- `pnpm test:run`: the general-server batch had 12,416 passes and two
failures. The old tool-count assertion was fixed; all 16 authority tests
then passed. The chat webhook test had a socket error; it passed four
isolated reruns.
- Both workspace test groups passed. The isolated route suites
completed. Two socket failures in the initial route batches passed on
individual reruns; all remaining 61 files passed.
- Product E2E `create-skill-studio`: passed with local Codex and local
ACPX Claude.
- Manual browser test: submit a task, observe the real tool call and
creation card, open the sidebar, edit in Studio, save, and return. The
task reached Done. The saved second revision and sidebar tab survived a
server restart.
- The new companion headless Runner Eval passed. Companion coverage PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/23. Daytona was not
run because no immutable runner image was configured.

## Risks

- Database writes and local file writes cannot share one transaction.
Recovery accepts only an exact file-for-file retry after a database
rollback. Conflicting files remain untouched.
- The sidebar displays the current skill. The feed card remains the
historical creation receipt.
- No database migration, dependency, or workflow change is included.
- Remote Daytona behavior still needs a run with a configured immutable
image.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) handled design, integration, review, and
browser verification. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded
implementation and eval work. Both used code execution and tool access.
The host did not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip 4d317274ce feat(channels): add experimental iMessage Photon (#13299)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Channels connect external conversations to company tasks and agent
execution.
> - Slack, Discord, and AgentMail already provide durable delivery and
access controls.
> - People also need to reach an agent from Apple Messages and send
photos.
> - Photon provides shared Pro DMs, dedicated numbers, and authenticated
event recovery.
> - This pull request connects Photon to the existing channel services.
> - People can message an agent while Paperclip retains task ownership
and approval authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: channel services, shared contracts, database constraints,
Apps, and agent Channels UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Paperclip has no iMessage channel. A person cannot use Apple Messages to
start a task, send a photo, or answer an agent's pending question.

**Proposed solution**

Add experimental **iMessage Photon** with Pro-compatible shared DMs or a
dedicated Photon Cloud number per agent channel. Reuse channel
admission, identity links, task generations, publication, and
interaction continuation. Keep groups disabled for shared allocation.
Dedicated lines support groups that an operator explicitly enables.
Require a fresh linked message and a published agent response before
setup completes.

**Alternatives considered**

Shared allocation has no owned phone number, so it reserves one project
and allows DMs only. Dedicated allocation reserves one stable number.
Local Mac access needs a separate deployment model. The upstream Photon
Chat SDK adapter does not persist the poll mappings and send receipts
required here. This change uses the lower-level SDK without adding
another agent runtime.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Connected Apps and agent communication through the existing
channel subsystem. It does not add a parallel tool connection or agent
loop. GitHub searches for Photon and iMessage found no matching provider
implementation.

**Additional context**

This ships behind the existing experimental channel gate. Dedicated-line
release qualification remains incomplete. Real Photon Pro DMs passed
task/reply, native poll, text answers, confirmation rejection, media,
restart, pause, reconnect, revocation, and removal tests. An
operator-supplied iPhone camera HEIC also passed the full round trip.
Dedicated groups remain unqualified. See [the verification
record](doc/connections/IMESSAGE-PHOTON-VERIFICATION.md) and [the
implementation plan](doc/plans/2026-09-11-imessage-photon.md).

## What Changed

- Add the provider catalog entry, shared setup contracts, and a forward
migration. A global partial index reserves the dedicated number or
shared project until its endpoint is archived.
- Add Cloud project inspection, vaulted project credentials,
selected-line token renewal, and a leased receiver. Persist checkpoint
updates under the receiver lease. Shared project replay accepts sparse
increasing sequences only after a complete recovery barrier.
- Connect DMs and enabled groups to existing task generations, sender
authorization, ordered delivery, and publication services. Keep each
iMessage conversation on its task after completion; only explicit `/new`
or `/close` releases the binding. Publish committed inbound comments
live and label their human bubbles “Sent from iMessage” in both
task-chat renderers.
- Persist immutable text/file send identities, upload receipts, poll
IDs, option IDs, per-person drafts, and canonical interaction
continuation proofs.
- Add source-bound file recovery, bounded HEIC/HEIF conversion, JPEG
previews, and related Live Photo companion video retention.
- Add the three-step setup flow and channel management surfaces with
official branding. Preserve the experimental gate and existing
pause/disconnect behavior.
- Add interactive production-component Storybooks for setup, access,
recovery, and ongoing conversations. Add provider, integration, catalog,
and browser regression coverage. Document setup, recovery, supported
boundaries, and qualification gaps.

## Verification

- Live Photon Pro, SDK 2.1.0: linked iPhone messages create a task and
receive native Codex replies in Apple Messages. Unlinked senders cannot
start work.
- Three real follow-ups each reopened the same completed task. Incoming
bubbles appeared on its open page without reload and showed “Sent from
iMessage.” The third follow-up ran after restarting the server on
`4d7222110`; the agent correctly repeated its previous reply from before
the restart.
- Native polls after restart, sequential text drafts, required-field
correction, explicit submission, approval rejection with a required
reason, and native continuation passed against Photon.
- PNG, text documents, synthetic HEIC, and a real iPhone camera HEIC
passed in both directions. The camera photo produced a 3024×4032 JPEG
preview. The native agent described it and returned the received HEIC
byte-for-byte.
- Pause/resume, reconnect, identity revocation, removal, `/status`,
`/new`, `/close`, and stale answers after close passed live. Messages
suppressed by pause did not become work on resume. Removal stopped
intake and removed credential bindings.
- All 304 focused tests passed on `4d7222110`. These cover Photon
unit/integration behavior, both task-chat renderers, live comment
hydration, completed-task continuity after restart, enabled groups,
duplicate delivery, and explicit reset/close. The selected Teams
completion-boundary regression also passed. Full workspace
typecheck/build and token gates passed for the conversation fix; the
final UI changes passed their affected typecheck/build and tests.
- All 26 new Photon Storybook Playwright cases passed in light and dark
themes, including the complete shared-DM setup journey and 390px mobile
follow-ups. UI typecheck and the Storybook build passed. These stories
use simulated Photon responses and do not replace the live evidence
above.
- The full chat-adapters browser suite previously passed all 39 cases.
Migration checks passed, and migration 0275 applied to the isolated live
instance with the earlier Photon migration already applied.
- The local full Vitest run was previously interrupted by the host's
embedded-Postgres shared-memory limit; it is not a full-suite pass. All
30 applicable CI checks passed on preceding head `7a5419cac`, with two
skipped checks and Greptile 5/5. Head `24f8e1aae` adds an explicit
required-story discovery guard to the 26 passing Storybook cases.
Greptile rates this final head 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
All 30 applicable CI checks passed, with two optional checks skipped.
- A repeated live send key suppressed the duplicate but returned gRPC 6
/ SDK `internalError` without an original receipt. Paperclip keeps
unknown delivery unresolved. This provider behavior is covered by a
regression test.
- See [the verification
record](doc/connections/IMESSAGE-PHOTON-VERIFICATION.md) for package
versions, redacted live evidence, deterministic coverage, and remaining
qualification gaps.

## Risks

- Dedicated group qualification remains unrun; groups are disabled for
the approved Pro scope. Real iPhone camera HEIC passed transport,
preview generation, agent inspection, and return. Keep the channel
experimental; the dedicated-line release matrix remains incomplete.
- Shared recovery and attachment aliases were verified against the live
gateway. Duplicate writes currently return an error without the original
receipt; unresolved sends require operator resolution. The
implementation fails visibly on invalid replay ordering, a reset cursor,
or changed identity.
- The HEIF converter passed on macOS arm64 and in Linux CI. Windows HEIF
binaries have not been executed in this work. Linux musl has no packaged
converter. Unsupported conversion retains the original and reports the
missing preview.
- The migration adds a global reservation across companies for Photon
numbers and shared projects. Paused and revoked endpoints keep that
reservation until removal.
- Integration touches shared channel services. Existing provider browser
coverage passes; broad repository verification is recorded above.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally excluded under repository policy.
The repository bot owns lockfile updates. The additional Superagent
supply-chain scan is neutral/inconclusive because these new dependencies
are not yet in the committed lockfile. Its security scan passed; all
required CI checks pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, browser testing, and tool use. The exact served model
identifier and context-window size are not exposed in this session. No
sub-agents were used.

Task lifecycle, agent runtime tools, shared task UI, and browser/paid
runner tests.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need one persistent conversation with each agent. A separate chat
store or renderer would duplicate task behavior and bypass existing
controls.

**Proposed solution**

Use a task-backed chat per company, user, and agent. Reuse the task
composer and transcript. Clarify and plan in chat, then create assigned
project tasks with the relevant plan. Keep Agent Chat behind its own
disabled-by-default experimental setting.

**Roadmap alignment**

This implements the task-backed direction in [CEO
Chat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#-ceo-chat).
Related proposals: #2504 and #9693. Related request: #7981. The
maintainer requested one squash merge of the complete stack.

Consolidates the reviewed runtime
[#13281](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13281), backend
[#13282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13282), and UI
[#13283](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13283) layers
with this PR's E2E coverage. All four layers passed CI and received
Greptile 5/5 before consolidation. This PR targets master and includes
the complete feature.

## What Changed

- Add personal canonical chat tasks with ordinary company visibility,
immutable identity, idempotent first sends, and an idle waiting state.
- Process `/new` in queue order. Preserve history, release a chat pause,
and fence old provider context and delayed writes.
- Keep chat lifecycle rules across recovery, finalization, assignment,
task lists, and rollups.
- Support research and plan revision in chat. Hand plans to ordinary
assigned project tasks before execution starts. Reject new chat
subtasks.
- Add repository-aware project creation and discovery tools, including
multiple repository IDs and GitHub URLs, authorization, idempotency, and
durable project-created cards.
- Reuse task UI components for chat, with starred/recent agent
navigation and a separate `enableAgentChat` experimental flag.
- Add deterministic browser tests and 24 paid chat cells across four
Codex/Claude profiles, with validated reports and screenshots.
- Integrate current master recovery, controller lease, queued-message,
and task UI changes. Gate chat interruption and deferred promotion on
ownership/feature policy. Guarantee lease renewal and active controls
are stopped even if teardown fails.
- Preserve master's migration 0273 and generate chat migration 0274 with
idempotent replay for development databases.

## Verification

- Prior exact heads of all four PRs passed Linux CI, including build,
typecheck, general/serialized tests, and browser E2E. Each had Greptile
5/5 and no unresolved findings.
- Integrated local verification passed: full repository typecheck and
production build, Storybook build, token gates, 340 focused UI tests,
all 20 deterministic chat browser tests, two migration replay tests, 88
focused chat/queue/native/controller tests, and provider/session
regressions including real lease expiry. These include the three
lifecycle regressions for the final admission/teardown fixes; server
typecheck also passes. Current head
`1268eda16cc2af892055917e7292f068820be135` has Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved findings and passing security scans. All final-head CI gates
passed: build, full Runner verification, typecheck/release registry,
canary, all general/serialized test shards, and all browser E2E shards
([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34696739927)).
Local PostgreSQL startup contention required serialized retries; skipped
fixtures do not count as passing coverage.
- The earlier paid campaign passed all 24 chat cells and retained 32
screenshots:
[report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-34648511170-1/index.html?report=agent-chat#suite-agent-chat).
It tested `abacbdfd2f660709ec37312cdb758284c8399d04`; it is prior
evidence, not a paid run of this integrated head.
- Manual check: enable Agent Chat in Experimental settings, open an
agent, clarify and revise a plan, then hand off to an assigned project
task. Stop a reply, send `/new`, and verify fresh context with retained
history. Disable the setting and verify agent shortcuts/new chat turns
are blocked.

## Risks

- Queue/session integration can affect retries and delayed writes. Tests
cover ownership, cancellation, reset boundaries, idle recovery, and
ordinary task behavior.
- Migration 0274 adds conversation fields and constraints. Replay is
idempotent and preserves existing development chat history.
- This combines the previously reviewed stack at the maintainer's
request. Agent Chat remains off by default and is separate from
Conference Room.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with reasoning, code
execution, browser tools, and parallel review. The exact context-window
size is not exposed in this session. Codex and Claude also ran as test
subjects in the linked paid campaign.

DottaandPaperclip 063ba59ae3 Fix workspace-ready notice rendering (#12716)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - The task thread shows user, agent, and control-plane messages.
> - Workspace-ready comments keep agent attribution for audit and
authorization.
> - These comments also have an explicit system-notice presentation.
> - The client used attribution before the presentation contract.
> - As a result, workspace-ready comments appeared as agent bubbles.
> - This pull request gives the system-notice presentation priority.
> - The benefit is a compact workspace notice with expandable details.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The task thread showed a workspace-ready control-plane comment as a
normal agent message. The comment kept agent attribution for audit and
authorization, so the client did not use its system-notice presentation.

**Expected behavior**

The task thread must show a comment with the `system_notice`
presentation as a compact system notice. The user must be able to expand
the notice to inspect its details.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task with a workspace that becomes ready.
2. Wait for the control plane to add the workspace-ready comment.
3. Observe that the task thread shows the comment as an agent bubble
instead of a system notice.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at `8eaa5caa0`.

**Deployment mode**

Local dev (`pnpm dev`).

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific. This is a core UI bug.

## What Changed

- Give the `system_notice` presentation priority when the task-chat
adapter selects the message kind.
- Pass the notice presentation data to the task-chat model.
- Improve the compact and expanded workspace notice details.
- Add component tests, adapter tests, and Storybook cases for workspace
notices.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts
ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatSystemNotice.test.tsx` passes 15
tests.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm test:run` passes 5,670 tests and reports four pre-existing
workspace-runtime failures. The same four failures reproduce when the
two unrelated server test files run alone. They do not use the changed
task-chat files.

## Risks

- Risk is low. Normal agent messages still use the agent presentation.
- A comment with an explicit system-notice presentation now uses the
compact notice renderer.
- Regression tests cover both paths.

> 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-5 (`gpt-5`) through Codex. The agent used reasoning,
repository tools, and code execution. The runtime did not expose the
context-window size.

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).

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex assisted with implementation, tool execution, testing, and
review. The work records `gpt-6-astra` assistance. The environment does
not report a context-window size. No private reasoning traces are

DottaandPaperclip 8cfd30fb07 feat(ui): add composer Stop and simplify task controls (#13104)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task composer is where operators direct running agents.
> - Operators need to stop work without leaving the conversation.
> - Existing pause controls already hold task trees and interrupt both
runner types.
> - This pull request connects the composer to those controls and
removes repeated feedback.
> - Operators can pause work quickly and still queue messages while
agents run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Task pause, resume, and cancellation in the task page and composer.

**Current behavior**

The empty composer cannot stop a running task. Task controls require
extra confirmation and reason text. Pause can show several notifications
for the task already on screen.

**Proposed behavior**

Show Stop while this task runs and the composer is empty. Text or
attachments switch it to Send. Stop and the menu use the same manual
pause hold. Parent pauses include descendants. Keep task cancellation in
the menu with a compact confirmation. Show one quiet pause row and gray
cancelled-run details.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can interrupt execution with one click. Drafts and queued
messages keep their existing behavior. The UI waits for actual
termination, including native cancellation acknowledgment.

**Breaking changes**

No endpoint, schema, or task-status change. Pause no longer asks for
confirmation or a reason. Resume now honors the existing wake-agents
option. Task notifications are suppressed for the task and subtree
currently in view.

Related UI work: #8228 changes navigation and composer shortcuts. This
PR covers execution controls. No duplicate Stop-button PR was found. The
change improves existing controls and does not duplicate a roadmap
milestone.

## What Changed

- Add Stop, pending feedback, duplicate-click protection, and inline
errors to the composer.
- Share the pause mutation across the composer, active-run controls, and
menu.
- Poll affected runs after a pause request. Require native cancellation
acknowledgment.
- Remove pause confirmation and shared reason fields. Reduce cancel
confirmation to its task count and actions.
- Honor wake-agents for executable tasks only. Preserve the pause when
recovery review is needed; show partial wake failures inline.
- Preserve explicit legacy reconciliation decisions while their
continuation waits for dispatch.
- Suppress notifications for visible task trees. Use quiet pause and
cancellation feedback.
- Add interactive stories using production controls and native/legacy
end-to-end tests.

## Verification

- User reviewed the running feature and revised Storybooks in the
browser.
- Rebased focused checks passed: 295 original targeted tests, 161
updated route/page/notification/status tests, and 26 recovery
integration tests.
- Both isolated runner journeys pass on the final revision (1.7
minutes). Coverage includes queueing, parent and child interruption,
persisted holds, no automatic continuation, reconciled resume,
cancellation, terminal exclusions, and no Stop toast.
- Native coverage uses real runnerd with a deterministic provider
fixture. Legacy coverage checks actual process termination. Live
hosted-provider execution was not tested.
- Repository typecheck and build, Storybook build, and token gates
passed after rebase. The final server typecheck/build also passed.
- The broad local run completed its general-server stage with 7,219
passing tests, 48 skipped, and two failures from cached pre-fix source
and a stale native provider fixture. Both failed tests pass in fresh
final-head reruns after rebuilding the fixture; the script did not
continue to its later local stages. CI runs all test groups on the final
revision.
- Final revision: all 31 applicable CI checks passed; Storybook visual
regression was skipped by its workflow conditions. Greptile: 5/5, zero
unresolved comments.
- Review `Tasks / Execution Controls` in Storybook. Type and clear a
draft, stop a run, expand cancellation details, and test the menu on
desktop and mobile.

## Risks

- Stop pauses descendants for a parent task. This is the existing pause
contract.
- A held task can remain active if interruption fails. The UI shows an
error instead of claiming termination.
- Resume can start multiple assignees when wake-agents is selected.
Backlog, blocked, and terminal tasks stay excluded. Existing execution
reconciliation remains mandatory where required; Resume never invents
action-outcome evidence.
- Notification suppression uses the visible task and cached subtree.
Notifications for unrelated work remain enabled.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact runtime snapshot and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
tool calls, code execution, and browser inspection.

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.

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.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5.6. The work used high-reasoning agent mode,

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.

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.

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 cc35c3c395 feat: structure and humanize recovery notices (#11075)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip posts system comments when automatic run recovery cannot
continue
> - These comments currently mix the main event with recovery
identifiers and routing details
> - The task chat shell also renders these comments as large raw text
blocks
> - Operators need a short explanation first and inspectable evidence on
demand
> - This pull request emits structured recovery notices and renders them
as compact humanized rows
> - The benefit is a quieter task thread that keeps the full recovery
evidence available

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related prior extraction source: #11070. This pull request replaces only
its structured recovery notice slice with a focused branch based on
current master.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Paperclip recovery escalations and the experimental task chat
system-comment renderer.

**Current behavior**

Recovery escalation comments put action identifiers, owner details, run
details, and failure codes into the visible markdown body. The task chat
shell renders the complete system comment as a large text block.

**Proposed behavior**

The server emits a short system notice with typed metadata sections. The
task chat shell classifies known recovery families and renders one
compact row. An operator can expand the row to inspect the full body and
metadata.

**Reason and benefit**

The main thread stays readable during repeated recovery activity. Typed
links and evidence remain available without exposing raw failure text in
the default view.

**Breaking changes**

The visible recovery comment body is shorter. Recovery action
deduplication now reads the structured metadata and still recognizes
legacy body markers. No API schema or database migration changes.

## What Changed

- Emit stranded recovery escalations with `system_notice` presentation
and typed recovery, owner, run, and failure-code metadata.
- Share bounded metadata row builders across recovery notice producers
and preserve legacy deduplication compatibility.
- Humanize known recovery notice families and render compact expandable
task-chat rows.
- Route system-authored comments ahead of derived agent authorship so
recovery notices do not appear as agent bubbles.
- Add focused server and UI regression coverage.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 clean.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts` — 39 tests passed.

src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t 'escalates an
exhausted failed successful-run handoff without using generic
continuation recovery first|escalates an exhausted successful handoff
run that still leaves no disposition'` — 2 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t 'blocks assigned
todo work after the one automatic dispatch recovery was already used'` —
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/system-notice-humanizer.test.ts
src/components/task-chat/TaskChatSystemNotice.test.tsx
src/components/task-chat/task-chat-adapter.test.ts` — 15 tests passed.
- Storybook visual baselines were not updated because this chat-shell
path has no affected snapshot baseline. Focused rendering tests and
token gates cover this change.

## Risks

- Consumers that parse recovery action identifiers from comment markdown
must move to structured metadata. Server deduplication remains backward
compatible with legacy comments.
- The humanizer uses stable recovery-family phrases. Unknown notices use
a generic truncated first-sentence fallback.
- The UI changes only the experimental task chat presentation. The
stored comment body and expanded metadata remain available.

DottaandClaude Opus 5 e8ae5286eb feat(issues): explain cross-task agent writes with attribution, audit receipts, and actionable denials (#10843)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents write to tasks they do not own. They comment, they change
fields, and the control plane now permits this by default for
standard-trust agents on any task they can read
> - This makes a task thread ambiguous. A reader sees a comment from an
agent that is not the assignee, but no surface says whose authority that
write rode
> - The same gap applies to field edits. The activity stream named the
verb, but it did not show the before value, the after value, or the
reason the write was permitted
> - The remaining refusals are also opaque. An agent that hits a wall
receives a 403 with no boundary name, no actor who can act, and no
sanctioned path. One real incident spent a full detour to find the
workaround
> - This pull request adds the three surfaces that make open cross-task
writes legible: an attribution chip, a field-level audit receipt, and an
actionable denial contract shared by the API and the UI
> - The benefit is that a reader can answer "who did this, on whose
authority, and was it allowed?" on the task itself, and a blocked writer
is told what to do next

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists for this work, so the enhancement is described
here.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Cross-task agent writes are permitted, but they are not explained. A
task thread can hold comments from agents that are not the assignee, and
the activity stream can hold field changes made by those agents. Neither
surface names the responsible user behind the write. When a write is
refused, the error text does not name the boundary or the way forward.

**Subsystem affected**

Issue detail UI (comment thread and activity stream), the issue write
authorization responses in the server, and the shared copy contract that
both consume.

**Current behavior**

- An agent comment on a task the agent does not own looks the same as an
assignee comment.
- An `issue.updated` activity row states the verb only. It does not show
the field-level before and after values, the responsible user, or the
authorization reason.
- A refused write returns a short message such as an ownership error.
The message does not state which rule fired, who is able to perform the
action, or which alternative path is sanctioned.

**Proposed behavior**

- An agent comment on a task the agent does not own carries a chip that
reads "for {user}". The chip names the responsible user. Its tooltip
states that the author is not the assignee and cannot exceed that user's
permissions.
- Each `issue.updated` row shows a receipt: the changed fields with
before and after values, the responsible user, and the authorization
reason. This applies to board edits as well as agent edits.
- Each refusal states three things: the boundary that fired, who is able
to act, and the sanctioned path. The API error body and the in-app
notice use the same words, because both read one shared contract.

Related pull requests, found by searching this repository:

- Refs #10837 — merged. It added the default-open cross-task write rule,
the comment attribution data, and the per-run containment cap that this
pull request makes visible.
- Refs #10114 — open. It proposes a narrower authorization change in the
same area.
- Refs #7998 — open. It proposes append-only cross-assignee comments as
an alternative to opening writes.

## What Changed

- Adds `packages/shared/src/issue-write-denial.ts`. This is one copy
contract for eight ways an issue write can be refused: not visible,
responsible-user ceiling, responsible user unavailable, excluded actor
class, assignee run lock, per-run cross-task cap, missing run context,
and rejected attribution. Each entry names the boundary, who can act,
and the sanctioned path.
- Maps server authorization decisions onto that contract in
`server/src/routes/issues.ts` and
`server/src/services/cross-issue-influence-limit.ts`. The flattened
`error` string carries all three obligations, and `details.code` lets
the UI render the same words. The two cap codes keep the names they
already ship under.
- Adds `CommentAttributionChip`. It renders "for {user}" beside the
author name on agent comments where the author is not the assignee. It
renders nothing when no responsible user is recorded, so older rows stay
clean. It is wired into both `IssueChatThread` and the flagged
`TaskChatThread` redesign.
- Adds `IssueFieldChangeReceipt`. It renders the change receipt under
`issue.updated` rows in the activity stream. Ids resolve to agent and
user names where the directory is loaded. Server-truncated text is
labelled as a preview, so the receipt never implies that it shows a
whole value.
- Adds `IssueWriteDenialNotice`. It renders the shared copy in the app,
keyed off the denial events the server logs on a task.
- Adds a public `/ux-lab/cross-issue-collaboration` page. It renders all
three surfaces and their edge cases for review without a seeded thread.
This follows the existing `ux-lab` pages.

## Verification

Automated, all green:

```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run src/issue-write-denial.test.ts        # 17 tests
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/components/IssueWriteDenialNotice.test.tsx \
  src/components/IssueFieldChangeReceipt.test.tsx src/components/CommentAttributionChip.test.tsx \
  src/lib/issue-change-receipt.test.ts src/lib/comment-attribution.test.ts                # 46 tests
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/cross-issue-influence-limit.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/issue-comment-attribution-audit-routes.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/low-trust-red-team-routes.test.ts                                        # 98 tests
```

`tsc --noEmit` passes for the shared, ui, and server packages.

Manual, in a browser:

1. Start the UI only: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vite`.
2. Open `/ux-lab/cross-issue-collaboration`. No session is needed,
because `ux-lab` routes are public.
3. All three surfaces were captured at 1440x900 in light mode and dark
mode, and at 390x844. The page reported no errors.
4. The chip tooltip was opened by a hover and by a keyboard focus.

Rendering the page found defects that the tests had missed. Three copy
and contrast defects were fixed, and two of them are now pinned by a
test. A design review then found three layout defects, which are also
fixed: the denial notice orphaned its label when a value wrapped, the
receipt icon wrapped onto its own line at narrow widths, and the chip
tooltip was reachable by hover only.

## Risks

Low risk, and additive.

- Every new surface renders nothing when its data is absent. Comments
without a recorded responsible user show no chip, and activity events
without a receipt show no receipt, so existing rows do not change.
- No migration is included. The data these surfaces read already ships.
- The wire values of the two per-run cap denial codes are unchanged.
Only the human-readable text changes, plus six codes that had no
`details.code` before.
- The denial copy is read by agents as well as people. If wording must
change later, one shared module is the only place to change it.
- Roadmap check: this extends the completed "Activity log & action
attribution" area rather than duplicating planned core work.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-5[1m]`, 1M context
window, extended thinking, with tool use and code execution. It ran as
an agent in Claude Code and drove a real browser to capture the review
screenshots.

9b9631b724 feat(ui): chat-style tasks polish — rich-text composer, attachment chips, live-turn interstitials, mobile layout (#10707)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators talk to their agents on the issue detail page. An
experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view (#10606) makes that page read as a
conversation instead of a ticket form.
> - The first release of that view shipped with a plain-text composer,
no visible narration while an agent works, and a desktop-only layout.
> - Users write formatted replies, paste screenshots, and follow long
agent runs from their phones. The experimental view should support all
of that before it can graduate.
> - This pull request is the next iteration of the same experiment: a
rich-text composer with attachments, live-turn narration on the status
line, cleaner settled-turn history, and a mobile layout.
> - The benefit is a chat view that feels alive while the agent works
and stays readable after it finishes, on desktop and mobile, still fully
behind the existing opt-in flag.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).
Refs #10606 (the merged first release of the experimental chat-style
task view; this PR iterates on it).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #8228 — open PR that polishes the classic issue chat composer. It
targets the flag-off legacy path; this PR only changes the flag-on
experimental view.
- #10466 — merged blockquote-recovery fix in the shared MarkdownEditor.
This PR now reuses that editor inside the chat composer.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view on the issue detail page
(Settings → Experimental, `enableTaskChatRedesign`, default off).

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page, chat-style task view).

**Current behavior**

With the experiment enabled, the composer is a plain textarea with no
formatting, no attachment preview, and no mention support. While an
agent runs, the status line shows only a static label, and the agent's
narration text is hidden. Finished runs render one settled row per turn,
so a run with many short turns produces a long list of near-duplicate
"Worked" rows, and turns without a comment append at the bottom out of
order. On mobile, the desktop bounded-height thread makes the page
scroll poorly.

**Proposed behavior**

The composer uses the shared MarkdownEditor: markdown formatting,
mentions, image paste with thumbnail previews, and non-image attachment
chips. Sending posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. While an agent runs, the status
line rotates playful status words and surfaces the agent's own narration
as short interstitial updates: each update holds for a minimum dwell, is
replaced only when superseded, and slides through a one-line viewport
with tokenized motion. Back-to-back settled turns coalesce into one
"Worked" row with summed durations and re-derived tool counts, and
comment-less settled turns insert chronologically at their run's start
time. On mobile, the thread renders in the document flow with window
auto-follow and a sticky safe-area composer; the desktop layout is
unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

The chat view is only convincing if it feels like a conversation with a
working agent. Rich text and screenshots are table stakes for chat
input. Live narration gives moment-to-moment feedback without opening
transcripts. Coalesced history keeps long-running tasks readable. Mobile
support lets operators follow runs away from their desks.

**Breaking changes**

None. Every change is gated behind the existing `enableTaskChatRedesign`
flag, which is off by default. The flag-off page is unchanged.

## What Changed

- `TaskChatComposer` swaps its textarea for the shared `MarkdownEditor`:
markdown formatting, mentions, image paste with object-URL thumbnail
previews (revoked on clear and unmount), and posting on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter.
- Non-image attachments render as chips on a new shared
`ui/attachment.tsx` primitive (adds the `@base-ui/react` dependency it
builds on).
- New `status-whimsy.ts`: deterministic rotation of playful status words
on the live status line.
- Live interstitial narration: the transcript adapter tags agent
self-talk, and the live status line shows it as ephemeral one-line
updates with a ~4s minimum dwell, hold-until-superseded replacement, and
a slide transition driven by new `--motion-line-scroll` tokens
(cataloged in `motion-tokens.ts`, which a test keeps 1:1 with
`index.css`). Hover affordance applies only to the status line, with no
leading icon.
- Settled-turn history: `coalesceSettledTurns` merges back-to-back
settled agent turns into one "Worked" row (summed per-run durations,
tool counts re-derived from the merged turn); `assembleThreadItems`
inserts comment-less settled turns chronologically at run start instead
of appending them at the bottom; settled turns render tool rows only
(the separate thinking block component is removed).
- The "Worked" summary attaches to the reply timestamp row, and thread
timestamps are always visible.
- Mobile layout: the thread renders with `scroll={false}` in the page
scroll, a new `useWindowAutoFollow` hook keeps the window pinned to new
content, the composer is sticky with safe-area padding, and the editor
uses 16px text so iOS does not zoom on focus. The desktop bounded chain
is untouched.
- New `TaskChatDescriptionBubble` renders the issue description as the
first chat bubble, and `McpIcon` gives MCP tools a distinct icon.
- `IssueDetail.test.tsx` stubs `TaskChatThread`: the composer's
`@mdxeditor` dependency cannot load under jsdom's CSSOM, and the suite
exercises the flag-off path.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `node scripts/check-task-chat-motion.mjs` — OK (30 files scanned,
seams present).
- `cd ui && npx tsc -b` — clean.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,482 of 3,483 tests pass locally. The
one failure is the `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row
time-formatting test, which is timezone-sensitive: it fails identically
on unmodified `origin/master` in a non-UTC timezone and passes with
`TZ=UTC`. It is not related to this change.
- Manual: enable "Chat-Style Tasks" in Settings → Experimental and open
an issue with an assigned agent. Comment to start a run: the status line
rotates status words and shows the agent's narration as short held
updates. After the run, consecutive turns fold into one "Worked" row
under the reply timestamp. Paste an image into the composer to see a
thumbnail chip; attach a non-image file to see a file chip; send with
Cmd+Enter. Open the same issue in a narrow viewport to see the
document-flow layout with the sticky composer.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The composer now loads the shared MarkdownEditor inside the chat view.
The editor is already used across the app (issue descriptions,
comments), so its behavior is well exercised; composer-specific handling
(paste, attachments, submit keys) is covered by new tests.
- The transcript adapter changes how live narration and settled turns
are derived from run logs. Malformed or legacy logs degrade to generic
rows rather than crashing, and the adapter suites cover the merge and
ordering rules.
- Object URLs for paste previews are revoked on send-clear and unmount
to avoid leaks; jsdom environments without `URL.createObjectURL` are
guarded.
- All changes are behind the default-off `enableTaskChatRedesign` flag.
Overall risk with the flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 c185e64b77 feat(ui): chat-style task view behind an experimental flag (#10606)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators spend most of their time on the issue detail page. They
talk to the assigned agent there through comments.
> - The current page reads as a ticket form. The thread sits below
properties, the composer sits mid-page, and live agent activity renders
as dense transcript logs.
> - Talking to an agent is a conversation. A chat-first layout matches
that mental model better than a ticket form.
> - A layout change this large must not disrupt current users. It needs
a safe opt-in path and full parity with the existing thread features.
> - This pull request adds a chat-style task view behind a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle. The flag is off by default and the
existing page is unchanged when it is off.
> - The benefit is a focused, readable conversation with the agent: live
tool activity folds into compact summaries, the composer stays at the
bottom, and properties, plan, and artifacts move into header tabs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #4489 — an earlier, closed attempt to promote the conversation to the
primary surface on issue detail. This PR is a fresh, flag-gated take on
the same goal.
- #8837 — an open PR that proposes a two-column task layout. It
restructures the same page but keeps the ticket paradigm; this PR is
orthogonal because it is opt-in and chat-first.

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page).

**Problem or motivation**

The issue detail page presents agent conversations as a ticket:
properties first, thread below, composer in the middle of the page, and
raw transcript noise during live runs. Users who mainly converse with
their agents must scroll past chrome to follow the conversation, and
live activity is hard to read.

**Proposed solution**

An opt-in chat-style view of the issue detail page, gated by a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle in Settings → Experimental. With
the flag on, the thread fills the center pane, the composer docks to the
bottom of the viewport, Properties / Plan / Artifacts become header
tabs, live turns show a status pill with the current tool action and
elapsed time, and settled turns collapse to a "Worked · N tools" summary
that expands into per-tool rows. With the flag off, nothing changes.

**Alternatives considered**

Restyling the existing layout in place (rejected: too disruptive without
an opt-out), and a separate chat page beside the issue page (rejected:
splits the task's single source of truth). A per-request lab page
(`/task-chat-lab`, dev-only) was kept for design iteration instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md "CEO Chat" wants lighter conversations that still resolve to
real work objects. This PR keeps the core task-and-comments model — it
only changes presentation, opt-in — so it does not duplicate that
planned work.

## What Changed

- New `enableTaskChatRedesign` instance setting, exposed as a
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment card in Settings → Experimental (shared
feature catalog, validators, server instance-settings service, and UI
settings page).
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/` component family: chat thread with
turn grouping, agent reply bubbles, live status pill, collapsible turn
summaries with per-tool rows, plan tab with a sticky CTA action bar,
inline interaction cards, per-request mode chips, and a bottom-docked
composer.
- A shared tool taxonomy (`tool-taxonomy.ts`) maps tool names to verbs
and icons; the status pill, tool rows, and the classic transcript view
all use it.
- A transcript adapter converts stored run logs into chat turns; it
dedupes tool-call updates by `toolUseId` so tool counts match the
expanded rows, and it keeps a tool row's first real name when later
generic updates arrive.
- Composer: posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter, supports image paste with
object-URL thumbnail previews (revoked on clear/unmount), and uploads
through the issue attachments route.
- `IssueDetail.tsx`: with the flag on, pane tabs move to the header bar,
the header is not sticky, and the chat fills the center; with the flag
off, the previous layout renders unchanged.
- Motion tokens for the new animations live in `ui/src/index.css` with a
`motion-tokens.ts` catalog and a test that keeps the two in sync (the
catalog now also covers the shared enter/exit/swap tokens that the
decision/quicklook block declares).
- A dev-only `/task-chat-lab` page with fixtures and a tweak panel for
motion tuning.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across the workspace.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,344 of 3,345 tests pass locally. The
one failure is `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row time formatting,
which is timezone-sensitive: it also fails on unmodified `origin/master`
in a non-UTC timezone and passes with `TZ=UTC`. It is not related to
this change.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 21/21 pass (covers
the new setting).
- Manual: start the dev server, open Settings → Experimental, enable
"Chat-Style Tasks", and open any issue. The thread fills the page, the
composer docks to the bottom, and Properties / Plan / Artifacts appear
as header tabs. Assign an agent and comment to watch a live run: the
status pill shows the current tool action with elapsed time, and the
finished turn folds into a "Worked · N tools" summary. Disable the
toggle and confirm the classic page is unchanged.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The flag-off path goes through the same `IssueDetail.tsx` file, so a
regression there would affect current users. Mitigation: the classic
markup renders through the same components as before behind explicit
flag conditionals, and the full UI suite passes.
- The transcript adapter interprets stored run-log formats, including
legacy entries without `toolUseId`. Malformed logs degrade to generic
tool rows rather than crashing.
- The new view changes no server behavior other than one additive
instance setting; it is additive and default-off. Overall risk with the
flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.
