Devin FoleyandPaperclip b2e9e82f05 fix: stop remote Grok runs before continuing queued messages (#14100)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The execution service owns each run and saves messages sent while it
runs.
> - Interrupt must stop the current executor before it delivers those
messages.
> - Remote Grok commands did not register the host cancellation control.
> - A cancelled task run could still write Done and prevent queue
recovery.
> - This pull request connects remote cancellation and revokes cancelled
run writes.
> - Saved input can use the existing queue admission rules after
verified cleanup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Interrupting a queued message marked a remote Grok run cancelled before
its sandbox stopped. The old run could still post a reply and mark the
task Done. Its saved follow-up remained deferred behind execution
recovery.

**Expected behavior**

Stop revokes run write authority and waits for verified termination.
Saved messages remain durable and enter one successor through normal
admission after cleanup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a task with `grok_local` in a remote sandbox.
2. Send a follow-up and use Interrupt while the command runs.
3. Let the old command attempt a task status update after cancellation.
4. Observe the task disposition and the saved message queue.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The gap is present in master at `d3e0f0a238`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated server with a Daytona sandbox.

Related work: #14028 and #14046 handle bounded continuation. #13291
covers infrastructure interruption and verified remote cleanup. #13332
addresses atomic recovery holds. This change handles direct Grok
operator cancellation and stale task writes.

## What Changed

- Register remote Grok cancellation before preparation. Keep command
ownership until the host confirms sandbox termination.
- Reuse the sandbox cancellation boundary for the direct CLI invocation.
Reject fresh attempts after cancellation and preserve workspace restore
failure evidence.
- Reject writes from cancelled task JWTs and runs with a pending stop.
Preserve diagnostic reads and existing conversation error codes.
- Recheck run authority under a database lock before task updates and
interaction responses commit.
- Preserve authorized handoffs that stop their own run. Only the
server-issued stop receipt for that request permits the final task
update.
- Add tests for hung commands, unverified stops, early cancellation,
copy-back failures, late Done, late interaction responses, authorized
handoffs, exact lease receipts, and one queue successor across
concurrent restart sweeps.
- Document the cancellation and write-authority contract.

## Verification

- Targeted adapter, cancellation-boundary, authentication,
queued-message, interaction-service, and activity-route tests passed.
The expanded run passed 214 tests; one new test had an incomplete
fixture. After correcting the fixture, all 8 selected follow-up cases
passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed on
`179c86caf1bf0d89914a503d46e24af7e4b8c557`.
- `pnpm build`: passed on the same commit.
- `pnpm test:run`: the general-server group completed with 13,521
passed, 99 skipped, and 18 failed tests. It then stopped, so the
remaining local groups did not run. Five Slack, email, and wake-batching
failures passed on focused reruns after correcting the local
environment. The remaining 13 failures reproduce as `EACCES` on rename
in unchanged skill-cache code on macOS. Two custom-image suite setup
hooks also failed to start embedded PostgreSQL after the machine
exhausted shared-memory slots; all 31 tests in that file passed on rerun
after the local resource issue was resolved. CI covers all test groups.
- CI: 53 checks passed and 2 were skipped on the latest commit,
including the aggregate verification gate. The last server shard passed
on its single rerun after a preview-server startup timeout. The affected
file also passed locally with 28 passed and 3 skipped.
- Greptile: 5/5 on the latest commit. Both review threads are resolved.
- No live deployment or staging task mutation has been performed.

## Risks

- Stopping the sandbox can prevent file copy-back. The result preserves
workspace restore failure evidence; termination does not imply restored
files.
- If provider termination fails, the adapter keeps ownership of its
outstanding command and does not acknowledge Stop.
- The write restriction now applies to ordinary cancelled tasks. Reads
remain allowed. Task and interaction checks add a shared run-row lock to
agent mutations. An exact server-issued receipt permits the task request
that stopped its own run to complete its handoff.
- Existing terminal tasks are not reopened automatically. An operator
must correct a historical late Done before its saved queue can continue.
- No schema migration or UI change.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and test tools. The precise backend revision and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4ca404b49a fix: record safe sandbox restore failure diagnostics (#14064)
Record a bounded diagnostic for failed workspace and staged-asset restores.
Preserve the original error, retry policy, and archive safety checks. Never
copy raw provider messages, credentials, paths, or asset names into the log.
Nested failures log once; safe fields survive throwing property getters.

Verified 129 focused restore/Claude tests, typecheck/build, and green full
PR CI. Greptile 5/5 with all review threads resolved.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

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

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

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

Merge preparation on September 25, commit
`c1e8e4b7ddd9fbc4913ed55ce21b8e12906c2f97`:

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

Earlier recovery UI verification, commit
`21be0fec0e90e86b6d662b8ee4831847cd041cdb`:

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

Historical, source-qualified lifecycle evidence:

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

## Risks

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

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

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip f3a214fe77 Fix relative symlinks in secondary sandbox repositories (#13953)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their task workspaces.
> - A task can use several independent Git repositories.
> - Sandbox staging copies secondary repositories from temporary clones.
> - The copy changed relative symlinks into absolute host paths.
> - Those links broke skill discovery and made workspace restore fail.
> - This change preserves link targets while keeping extraction checks
intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Staging a secondary repository rewrites a link such as
`.claude/skills/demo -> ../../skills/demo` to an absolute path in a
temporary Git clone. That clone is then removed. The link is broken in
the sandbox, and Daytona refuses the outbound archive during workspace
restore. An agent can finish its turn but still have its run fail during
restore.

**Expected behavior**

Repository links keep their original targets after staging. Links within
a repository remain usable, and changes return to the local checkout.
Unsafe outbound archive links still fail before extraction.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a project with a primary repository and a secondary
repository.
2. Commit a relative skill directory link in the secondary repository.
3. Stage the workspace for sandbox execution and inspect the copied
link.
4. Restore that repository through Daytona. Before this fix, the link
points at a removed host temporary directory and restore rejects it.

**Paperclip version/commit**

Reproduced on `0f8750627f11d855552abce9a837d7f3b67c9ddf` in the
multi-repository sandbox path.

Related: #13442 introduced multi-repository provisioning. #13882 adds
native Grok but keeps legacy adapters; #12991 addresses Grok instruction
isolation and leaves skill staging unchanged. Searches of open/closed
PRs and open issues found no direct fix for this copy behavior.

## What Changed

- Set `verbatimSymlinks: true` when copying secondary Git clones. This
[Node
option](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fspromisescpsrc-dest-options)
preserves the stored link target instead of resolving it against the
temporary source.
- Test directory, file, chained and dangling links after temporary-clone
cleanup. Assert the copied Git checkout remains clean.
- Cover skill-link reads, edits and restore in fresh, warm-adoption and
durable-seed workspace modes.
- Extend Daytona checks for valid relative directory links and rejected
absolute targets.
- Document the staging behavior.

## Verification

- Four regression cases fail without the source fix: one clone test and
three staging modes.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/git-workspace-sync.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts
packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/daytona/src/plugin.test.ts`: 301
passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm test:run` was started locally, then stopped after the full Linux
CI suite passed. It did not finish locally; this is not a full
local-suite pass.
- Full PR CI: 53 checks passed, two conditional skips, on
`07b30ff298baab327a4e60708ade899935688a3f`. Three server shards were
interrupted by runner shutdowns; the unchanged mobile repository test
timed out waiting for a disabled Save changes button. One same-commit
failed-job rerun passed. Original attempts remain in [run
36036538369](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36036538369).
- Greptile: 5/5 on the same head, no review threads or actionable
findings.
- Diff scanned for secrets and private identifiers; no matches.

## Risks

Low risk: the production change is one copy option. It preserves
symlinks instead of following or materializing their targets. Daytona
extraction guards, workspace exclusions, authentication and database
behavior do not change.

This prevents corruption in newly staged snapshots. It does not rewrite
an already corrupted warm workspace or durable seed; those need fresh
staging from the source checkout. No live provider run or customer-task
replay was performed. The tests use real Git, filesystem and tar
operations with mocked provider transport.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 4b8ec588f3 Stop duplicating wake context in adapter environments (#13891)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves task context.
> - Built-in adapters already include wake context in the agent prompt.
> - They also copy the full wake JSON into a process environment
variable.
> - A large environment entry can prevent the agent from starting with
`spawn E2BIG`.
> - This change removes the duplicate environment entry and uses the
existing prompt delivery.
> - The agent keeps its context without extra file transport or new
history limits.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13144, #13860, #13872, #13793.

Large wake payloads can exceed the operating system limit for one
environment entry. The launch-envelope fix in #13793 handles the outer
transport but leaves that child environment entry intact.

Credit to @nickyleach for the prompt-only approach in #13144. This PR
applies that part on current master. It does not include that PR's
30-item history limits or recovery-history endpoint. Those behavior
changes can be reviewed separately from the process launch fix.

## What Changed

- Stop exporting `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_PAYLOAD_JSON` in the shared ACP engine
and all ten built-in adapter writers.
- Ignore configured values of the retired variable so saved adapter
settings cannot restore the oversized entry. Also drop inherited copies
in Hermes, which builds its environment directly.
- Keep scalar runtime variables, existing prompt rendering, continuation
history, resume deltas, gateway bodies, and Hermes JSON template
variables.
- Document the prompt delivery contract and the migration for custom
instructions that read the retired variable.
- Test large local and sandbox child-process launches, fresh and resumed
ACP turns, SDK delivery, and configured-variable filtering.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- Focused adapter utility, ACP, Codex child-process, and Cursor Cloud
suites: 340 tests passed.
- Hermes execution and prompt tests: 18 tests passed using its package
Vitest configuration.
- The child-process tests deliver over 128 KB of context through stdin
and check the complete text. The ACP test retains 50 complete messages
and 50 completed actions, then checks the resumed delta.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted, then stopped after it reproduced ten
macOS runtime-skill-cache permission failures (also reproduced on
unchanged master) and one HTTPS backfill test failure. The HTTPS test
passed when rerun unchanged on this branch and master. The complete
local suite was not completed; Linux CI provides the full-suite gate.
- CI is green on c3b8191f97: 53 checks passed and two skipped. Attempt 3
passed the remaining shards without source changes. Earlier attempts hit
a lost runner, preview readiness, and chat browser failures. The preview
test passed unchanged locally. Local chat tests passed 3/4; the
remaining sidebar focus-style assertion also fails on unchanged master.
No tests were weakened or skipped to obtain the passing rerun.
- The staged diff passed `gitleaks stdin --redact` and `git diff
--check`.

## Risks

- Custom instructions or scripts that read `PAPERCLIP_WAKE_PAYLOAD_JSON`
must use the wake payload in the prompt instead. The variable is absent
even for small wakes.
- This removes one cause of `E2BIG`. Legacy CLI paths for Gemini, Grok,
Kimi, Pi, and Hermes still pass prompts as arguments and retain their
existing argument-size limits. Other large environment variables also
remain subject to OS limits.
- No new context truncation, API route, database migration,
authorization change, or production rollout is part of this PR. Existing
prompt windows and resume rendering remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code execution and repository tools.
The exact model variant and context window size are not exposed in this
session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 8326e33ada Fix oversized sandbox process launch payloads (#13793)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and preserves context across retries.
> - Sandbox ACP runs encode their command and environment into one
launch value.
> - A long continuation can make that encoded value exceed Linux's exec
limit.
> - The launch shell then exits before the agent can initialize.
> - This PR transfers large command envelopes through a private
temporary file.
> - The agent receives the complete environment and can start normally.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13777.

**Bug description**

Sandbox tasks with long retry context fail during ACP initialization
with exit 127. The streamed bridge also drops the shell error that
explains the failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

Launch the streamed sandbox process bridge on Linux with one valid
110,000-byte environment value. Its base64 command envelope exceeds the
limit on one exec argument or environment string. Daytona reports
`argument list too long: env`, then exit 127.

**Expected behavior**

The command envelope must not make a valid child environment too large
to launch. A shell startup failure must retain its diagnostic in the run
log.

## What Changed

- Keep envelopes up to 64 KiB on the existing launch path. Upload larger
envelopes in bounded chunks inside a mode-0700 session directory. Set
the final payload file to mode 0600.
- Read the file without following symlinks and delete it before spawning
the child. Remove incomplete uploads on failure. Both streamed and
polled bridges use the same envelope.
- Preserve stderr when the launch shell fails before the wrapper emits a
terminal event. Emit a fixed terminal error and shutdown acknowledgement
if a payload cannot be read or parsed, without exposing its contents.
- Cover large environments, file permissions, payload deletion,
interrupted uploads, missing or malformed payloads, and startup
diagnostics. Document the transfer and cleanup behavior.

## Verification

- Both large-envelope regressions fail before the fix and pass after it.
- Targeted bridge, ACP engine, real-spawn, and stdin-race checks pass:
370 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passes.
- A gated live Daytona probe on the current sandbox image reproduced
exit 127 with the old bridge. The fixed bridge launched the same command
successfully. A second probe completed real Claude ACP initialization
with a 110,000-byte context value. It did not run an agent task. All
temporary sandboxes were deleted.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` reach the unchanged Rust runner
step and stop because this machine has no `cargo` executable.
- Full CI passes on `ea816cf58d`: [run
35683853754](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35683853754).
All 53 checks pass; two optional checks are skipped. The local
full-suite run was stopped after equivalent CI suites passed; it has no
final local result.
- Greptile is 5/5 on `ea816cf58d`, with no unresolved review threads.
The branch is mergeable.

## Risks

Large envelopes require extra upload calls during startup. The temporary
data stays inside the private session directory and is removed before
child startup or during failure cleanup. Individual child environment
values still obey the operating system's native limits. No migration or
configuration change is required.

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip c221589b69 fix: close sandbox process proxies after remote exit (#13777)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their tasks.
> - Sandbox agents use a local proxy to exchange ACP messages with a
remote process.
> - ACP keeps the proxy input stream open while it waits for a reply.
> - The proxy received a remote exit but kept that input stream open.
> - This left the proxy alive and could block later task retries.
> - This pull request closes the input handle after a terminal remote
event and lets final output drain.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A sandbox process could exit while its local proxy stayed alive. During
startup, this could appear as a handshake timeout. A later task retry
could then stop because the previous process was still alive.

**Expected behavior**

The proxy should exit with the remote process status, even when ACP has
not closed its input stream. Final output and diagnostics should arrive
before the proxy closes.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a sandbox process-session bridge with a child that writes
output and exits.
2. Start the generated local proxy and keep its input stream open, as
ACP does during startup.
3. Observe that the proxy stays alive after the remote process exits.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at `846336e5a0`.

Related: #13272 covers legacy sandbox startup recovery. #13765 covers
the task retry UI. This change fixes the proxy process lifecycle.

## What Changed

- Close the proxy input handle on remote exit or error, and preserve the
exit status.
- Stop forwarding input after the terminal event.
- Wait for process close in the test helper so output is fully drained.
- Test successful exit, failed exit, and spawn failure with input held
open in both output modes. Check complete delivery of 208 KiB of final
output.

## Verification

- Before the fix, all four remote-exit regression cases timed out.
- After the fix, all six terminal-event cases pass.
- Targeted runtime suite: 362 tests pass across the sandbox bridge,
stdin queue races, real ACP spawn, and ACP engine suites.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passes.
- Full workspace tests hit local platform failures: embedded PostgreSQL
fails during initialization, and runtime skill-cache tests fail with
`EACCES` while renaming read-only directories on macOS. The affected
server code is unchanged in this PR. Those suites pass in CI.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` stop at the existing Rust runner
step because this machine has no `cargo` executable. The CI typecheck
and build gates pass.
- [CI run
35658635907](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35658635907)
passes all required gates. The first browser shard run passed all 12
tests but hit a GitHub 403 during report upload; the rerun passed,
including upload.
- Greptile scored commit `9c3c89148e` 5/5 with no review threads. The
branch is mergeable.

## Risks

The proxy now closes its input immediately after a terminal remote
event. Tests cover final output delivery and preserve nonzero exit
codes. Existing orphan processes still require cleanup or a server
restart. Live sandbox startup needs validation after deployment; this
change addresses the confirmed proxy hang and does not establish why an
earlier remote process stopped.

DottaandPaperclip d9b3a5653e feat(chat): add initial Slack communication guidance and connection menus (#13760)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat connectors let people use the same tasks and agent tools from
external conversations.
> - Agents need communication guidance that fits the conversation
medium.
> - That guidance belongs in the original task context, without repeated
instructions on each turn.
> - Connection owners also need clear settings and a consistent way to
remove a connection.
> - This pull request adds initial Slack guidance, optional connection
instructions, and chat connection menus.
> - The benefit is clearer Slack replies with the existing Paperclip
workflow and permissions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Agent replies in Slack and chat connection management in the Apps
catalog.

**Current behavior**

Slack tasks do not carry a saved communication profile. The catalog
shows a separate Manage button and does not offer removal on every chat
connection row.

**Proposed behavior**

Save Slack guidance when a new conversation creates a task. Restore that
original guidance when a model session is rebuilt. Do not append it to
ordinary follow-ups. Expose optional additional instructions in Slack
Settings. Put Manage and Remove connection in a three-dot menu for all
chat providers. Keep Finish setup visible for drafts.

**Reason and benefit**

Small answers fit in Slack. Substantial deliverables use ordinary
document or artifact tools with a useful Slack summary. Connection
settings apply to new tasks and cannot change permissions. Users can
remove both active and unfinished chat connections from the catalog.

**Breaking changes**

Two additive database columns store endpoint preferences and the initial
conversation snapshot. Existing endpoints default to empty preferences.
Existing conversations keep their original behavior. Non-Slack guidance
is unchanged.

Related public context:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13741 improves native chat
recovery. This change adds communication context to those existing
execution paths. A search found no duplicate communication-guidance PR.

## What Changed

- Add a provider-guidance registry, enabled for Slack first.
- Persist optional endpoint communication instructions and capture an
immutable snapshot when a conversation creates a task.
- Resolve guidance from the verified company-scoped connection. Restore
it for fresh native and legacy sessions without per-turn reminders,
extra model calls, or extra context queries.
- Add the Slack Settings field, validation, audit coverage, and
Storybook save/error states.
- Add Manage and Remove connection menus for all seven chat providers.
Keep the draft setup button. Require removal confirmation and allow
retry after failure.
- Add regression coverage, an active/draft menu story, and connector
documentation.

## Verification

All CI checks are green for 5f48df4e0. Greptile scored this head 5/5
with no actionable findings. No review threads remain unresolved.

- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` on PR head 5f48df4e0.
- Passed design-token checks, UI typecheck, and all 20 catalog tests
after rebase. Tests cover all seven providers, active/draft removal,
confirmation, cache refresh, errors, and cancellation.
- Verified the active/draft menu in Storybook. The interaction test runs
without browser console errors.
- Passed focused guidance, endpoint persistence/isolation, heartbeat
trust, native context, ACPX, adapter utility, and CLI recovery tests.
Full UI and CLI groups passed (6,512 and 502 tests).
- Tested real Slack conversations on staging: concise updates with
public links, a planning question with buttons, a saved plan, a saved
report, task creation and assignment, and explicit detailed output. Old
tasks retained original preferences after an edit; a new task used the
changed preferences. Restored the staging setting afterward.
- Existing safe progress remained visible without duplicate final
replies or private reasoning.
- Broad local tests found resource/time-sensitive failures that passed
targeted reruns. One Cursor archive-download fixture failed on both this
branch and the unchanged main checkout. The full local suite is not
claimed clean. All PR-head CI test shards passed, including general,
serialized, Runner, and browser suites. The redundant local full-suite
rerun was stopped after CI completed successfully.
- Live delegation was not tested because the staging company has only
one agent. Live testing also found separate latency and runner
task-editing capability gaps; this PR does not add connector-specific
workflow behavior to hide them.

## Risks

- Prompt guidance changes the form of new Slack replies. Explicit
requests for detail still take precedence.
- The additive migration is idempotent. Conversation snapshots remain
fixed when connection settings change.
- Native and legacy recovery must preserve the initial context without
duplicates; targeted tests cover these paths.
- Removing a connection stops new work through the existing lifecycle
action. It retains Paperclip task history and does not delete the
external app or bot.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository editing, shell tools, and
browser testing. The host does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size. No separate model calls were added to the product.

DottaandPaperclip e8c8ba3c19 feat(apps): add experimental MCP aggregator connectors (#13755)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its tool gateway applies company access rules and approval controls
to connected apps.
> - MCP aggregators expose many apps through one provider endpoint.
> - Each aggregator needs its own credential, catalog, grants, and
lifecycle in Paperclip.
> - This pull request adds independent Zapier, Arcade, Composio Connect,
and Executor setup with a common Access → Connect layout.
> - A default-off MCP aggregators flag lets operators opt in while we
complete provider acceptance tests.
> - Agents use the normal Paperclip permissions, Test screen, and
gateway after setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Apps, connection setup, shared contracts, and the remote MCP gateway.

**Problem or motivation**

Aggregator endpoints need clear provider setup and correct MCP sessions.
Generic setup does not explain each provider's authentication or broad
execution tools. Provider approval must preserve the original execution
instead of replaying a write.

**Proposed solution**

Add four separate connectors behind Settings → Experimental → MCP
aggregators. Start with human and agent access, then connect the
endpoint and read its tools. Enable tools by default. Use the existing
Permissions and Test screens after setup. Keep legacy Composio API-key
and child connections intact.

**Alternatives considered**

A shared connection for all providers would mix credentials and access
rules. Separate provider-specific permission and test screens would
duplicate existing controls. Vercel Connect is outside this change.

**Roadmap alignment**

Extends the existing MCP Tool Gateway & Apps capability and the
Connected Apps roadmap area. This work was requested and reviewed by the
maintainer.

Related work: #11894, #12630, #12632, #12634, and #12906 concern the
legacy Composio broker. #13102 also covers remote MCP pagination. This
change preserves the broker path and adds initialized sessions, response
matching, and provider resume handling alongside pagination.

## What Changed

- Add branded setup and interactive Storybooks for Zapier, Arcade,
Composio Connect, and Executor. Use the existing access controls and
normal action tests. Do not request a connection name or action choices
during setup.
- Add the default-off `enableMcpAggregators` flag to settings, managed
feature metadata, the catalog, and setup guards. Hidden connections keep
running. Legacy Composio connections remain unchanged.
- Reuse the vault, grants, policy, and catalog models. Support OAuth
discovery, bearer tokens, custom headers, and credential-bearing URLs.
Add no database tables or migrations.
- Initialize and retain Streamable HTTP sessions by connection and
effective credentials. Read paginated catalogs and match streaming
responses to request IDs.
- Classify unfamiliar aggregator tools as writes despite upstream
read-only hints; only exact reviewed read capabilities enter the
read-only allowlist. Legacy Composio child behavior is preserved.
- Preserve provider authorization links and execution IDs. Support
Executor approve/resume, decline, and cancel without automatic replay of
uncertain writes.
- Preserve Off and Ask first choices during refresh and reconnect. Allow
new tools and retire removed tools. Keep agent access updates atomic and
preserve an empty agent selection.
- Document connector UX rules, provider branding sources, and live
acceptance results.
- Stabilize the existing Sentry release fixture after its repeated CI
failure by reusing one module mock; production Sentry behavior is
unchanged.

## Verification

- Final head `d11781970`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35633534900)
passed, including broad typecheck, test shards, build, and E2E. All 54
checks pass; 2 optional checks are skipped. Greptile is 5/5, Security
Scan passes, and all review threads are resolved.

- Passed 27 focused connector Vitest checks and 18 connector-only
Storybook browser checks before the flag change. All 85 stories rendered
at desktop and narrow widths.
- Passed 5 connector lifecycle/server checks and 7 selected flag checks
after adding the flag. The latter cover settings, managed defaults,
cached catalog visibility, and all four setup routes.
- Review fixes passed 13 risk/handoff/lifecycle checks, dedicated
session-expiration and transport regressions, 13 selected
connector/gateway CI cases, and 10 selected setup/reconnect UI cases. A
real Composio connection-list call also succeeded through the refreshed
UI on `9ab115f71`.
- UI and server TypeScript checks passed. UI build, Storybook build,
token gates, and diff whitespace checks passed during implementation.
- Real browser and real Paperclip agent tests passed for Arcade,
Composio, and Executor. Tested action permissions, denied agent access,
reconnect, disconnect, and isolation. Tested Arcade catalog
additions/removal and Executor provider approve/resume, decline, and
cancel.
- Zapier live acceptance is incomplete. Its dedicated provider server is
configured, but its credential-copy dialog returned an empty clipboard
through browser automation. No live Zapier action is claimed.
- The three isolated Sentry release cases pass after the CI fixture fix.
- Local verification is deliberately narrow at the maintainer's request.
The full local suite, recursive typecheck, and repository-wide build
were not run. CI provides the broader checks.

## Risks

- Shared MCP transport changes affect other remote MCP servers. Protocol
fixtures cover initialized sessions, streaming response matching,
pagination, and isolation.
- Broad execution tools remain broad permissions. The provider governs
actions inside those tools.
- Provider handoff links are retained briefly in memory. After a server
restart, a one-time link may require reopening the provider dashboard.
Paperclip does not replay the original call.
- Zapier remains unproven live. Custom-header imports and self-hosted
endpoints have fixture coverage rather than a separate live account for
every variant.
- Turning the experimental flag off hides setup; it does not revoke
existing credentials or stop existing connections.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and browser automation. The exact runtime model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. A separate
Anthropic-backed Paperclip agent performed live gateway acceptance
tasks.

DottaandPaperclip 45c99a0d06 fix(adapters): default legacy harnesses and connected tools to full auto (#13693)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Legacy adapters launch provider CLIs and expose connected tools.
> - Existing defaults did not consistently grant full automatic
permission.
> - Remote Claude used a fixed tool list that omitted MCP tools and
future tools.
> - Direct Codex launches and OpenCode configuration also used narrower
defaults.
> - This change gives all these paths the same full-auto default as
native runners.
> - Explicit restrictive settings continue to work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13686. This PR is stacked on that native-runner and
task-reassignment PR. Merge #13686 first.

Related: #831 (constructed Claude agents), #1935 (adapter-switching
permission defaults).

## What Changed

- Use actual Claude permission bypass for local and remote runs and
probes. Remove the fixed tool list so MCP and future provider tools are
included.
- Identify actual managed sandbox targets to Claude with `IS_SANDBOX=1`.
Do not mark ordinary host execution as a sandbox.
- Default direct Codex execution to approval and sandbox bypass,
matching agent creation. Preserve explicit false, CLI profiles, sandbox
modes, approval policy, and network restrictions.
- Set OpenCode's full-auto runtime permission to `allow` for every tool
and connection. Preserve the existing explicit opt-out.
- Default Gemini probes to the same YOLO mode as execution. Make the
legacy ACP `default` alias use `approve-all` for fresh and resumed
sessions.
- Add default, opt-out, remote, probe, connected-tool, and resume
regression tests. Update adapter configuration documentation.
- Other adapter paths already request full automatic permission or have
no provider approval gate.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally
after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server and legacy
ACP tests passed, including defaults, explicit opt-outs, remote
launches, connected tools, and fresh/resumed sessions.
- Greptile reviewed current head
`8ca135eaffcf9cfdba6f1368e896a781a0891d50` at **5/5**. The security
reviewer acknowledged the documented full-auto requirement. Acknowledged
discussions are resolved.
- Current head has **54 passing checks**. [PR
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13693/checks). The
process-adapter signoff browser shard passed on one retry after its
first attempt exceeded a three-second issue-run wait.
- **Six native Claude/Codex real-provider cases passed on their first
attempt, with cleanup passing**, against the combined branch: plans,
reassignment, and backlog creation/status. [Campaign and downloadable
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548).
This does not claim a real-provider run of every legacy adapter.
- The live-tested revision is
`a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The current head differs
only in the corrected heartbeat test expectation; application code is
identical.
- The campaign result-enforcement job passed. The separate report
publisher failed during frozen dependency installation because the
trusted workflow's patched-dependency configuration does not match its
lockfile. Passing case evidence remains downloadable from the workflow.
- Full-suite coverage comes from CI partitions. The separate unsharded
local run was stopped after the corresponding CI partitions passed; it
is not counted as a completed local run.

## Risks

- Missing permission settings now grant all provider operations,
including connected tools. OpenCode full-auto also overrides ambient
provider permission rules. An explicit Paperclip permission opt-out
preserves restrictive behavior.
- Claude refuses full bypass as root outside an identified sandbox.
Ordinary host deployments must run Claude as a non-root user. Managed
sandbox launches include the required marker.
- These defaults do not grant additional Paperclip roles, connections,
or company access. Existing controller authorization and governance
still apply.
- This PR depends on #13686. Retarget it to master after that PR merges.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 7bc03e0acd feat(runner): default harnesses to full auto and support task reassignment (#13686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat uses native runners to save plans and coordinate tasks.
> - Provider defaults differed across harnesses and could stop
unattended work at a second permission gate.
> - Agents also lacked a dedicated tool to move existing work to another
agent safely.
> - This change defaults native providers to full automatic permission
for provider tools and connected tools.
> - A guarded reassignment tool preserves task identity, stops the
previous run, and schedules the new owner once.
> - Codex and Claude chat acceptance tests now use production permission
defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner, ACPX Claude permission policy, task authority, and Agent
Chat acceptance tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A user can authorize an agent to save a plan or create a task, but
Claude's default provider gate can still stop that action. Reassignment
needs a dedicated operation that preserves context and avoids concurrent
owners or unintended recovery runs.

**Proposed solution**

Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex to
`never`. Apply the defaults at configuration, execution, fresh-session,
resume, driver, and proxy boundaries. Keep explicit permission settings
and server-side company, claim, task-mode, and approval checks. Add
`reassign_task` with version checks, durable idempotency, audited
cancellation, and guarded successor scheduling.

**Alternatives considered**

A Paperclip-only allowlist still blocks provider tools and other
connections during unattended work. Full automatic permission is the
requested product default. Recreating a task discards its identity and
history. Updating assignment without stopping the previous run can leave
two agents working on the same task.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing planning, delegated work, governed tool
access, and recovery features. It adds no new service or schema
migration. Recent related tasks and open PRs were checked for duplicate
work.

**Additional context**

Related: #13678 (Agent Chat tools and recovery), #13677 (remote runner
startup). The stacked legacy-adapter companion is #13693. This also
fixes the deployed-server artifact fallback needed to stage the current
runner binary.

## What Changed

- Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex
to `never`, including missing settings at direct driver and proxy entry
points. These defaults cover provider tools and connected tools.
Preserve explicitly configured restrictive modes.
- Include assigned approval reads using canonical side-effect
classifications, so verifying a recorded approval does not trigger
another provider gate. Paperclip approval decisions still enforce
controller authority.
- Carry the new permission mode through server configuration, execution
contracts, recovery identity, TypeScript, and Rust. Keep
`approve-paperclip` as an optional restricted mode, with exact SDK rules
and closed unknown requests. It is not a default.
- Add `reassign_task` to the semantic catalog, controller, mock
authority, and generated contracts.
- Guard reassignment with company authorization, expected owner and
version, protected-state checks, and durable retry receipts.
- Honor explicit backlog task creation atomically with the initial plan,
without scheduling a wake. Preserve backlog holds regardless of
dependency readiness.
- Stop active work before changing ownership. Restore the prior owner
through a guarded, idempotent wake if final handoff validation fails.
Keep intentional reassignment stops out of failure recovery. Preserve
backlog and blocked states without waking them early.
- Add authorization, concurrency, replay, stop, and permission boundary
regressions. Add Codex and Claude chat reassignment cases and run native
chat cases with production defaults.
- Clarify shared runner guidance: save plans and Paperclip documents
directly with `write_document`; create and register a local file only
when a downloadable file is requested.
- Document provider defaults and the operator choices for existing
agents.

## Verification

- Current head `d82fbb0f03546d27cecf072250e4172e0b1ee662`: **55 checks
passed**, with two intentional skips. [PR
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13686/checks).
- Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5**. The security reviewer
acknowledged the intended full-auto default, and the acknowledged
discussions are resolved.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally
after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server, runner,
API, default/resume, and heartbeat configuration tests passed.
- **All six real-provider acceptance cases passed on their first
attempt, with cleanup passing:** plan handoff, task reassignment, and
backlog creation/status, each on native Claude and Codex. Evidence
records Claude's effective `approve-all` mode. [Campaign and
downloadable
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548).
- The live campaign tested combined revision
`a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The final PR heads add only
a heartbeat test expectation correction; application code is unchanged
from that live-tested revision.
- The campaign's result-enforcement job passed. Its separate report
publisher failed because the trusted workflow's `patchedDependencies`
configuration differs from its frozen lockfile. All six results and
screenshots remain available as GitHub artifacts. The overall manual
workflow is red for this publishing failure.
- Full-suite coverage is supplied by the passing CI partitions. The
separate unsharded local run was stopped after the corresponding CI
partitions passed; it is not counted as a completed local run.
- Reassignment tests cover stale state, cross-company access, denied
authority, cancellation failure, compensating wake, and idempotent
retries. Backlog tests verify the original creation audit, saved plan,
exact task count, and absence of task-bound runs.

## Risks

- Agents with no explicit permission mode now receive full provider tool
permission, including connected tools. This is a deliberate broad
default. Existing explicit restrictive modes still apply. Controller
authorization, company isolation, workspace boundaries, and Paperclip
governance remain in force.
- Reassignment crosses run cancellation and task ownership transactions.
Durable stop intent, revalidation, audit receipts, and guarded queue
dispatch cover interruptions and retries.
- The new permission enum requires a current runner artifact. The remote
artifact fallback uses the same resolved controller binary for upload
and execution.
- Live provider behavior remains subject to the selected model. Targeted
live results do not qualify the full catalog.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

Inspect terminal metadata in memory and retain only safe recovery labels and
a parsed reset timestamp. Preserve the existing handling of other limits.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5442f2d869 fix: repair managed Git launchers in sandbox projects (#13588)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agents in local and remote execution environments.
> - Managed GitHub launchers select credentials for each Git operation.
> - Remote launchers are written inside the project checkout as
extensionless CommonJS scripts.
> - An ES module project makes Node interpret those launchers as ESM, so
they crash before credential resolution.
> - When the launcher can start, empty identity variables also override
valid repository and command-line Git configuration.
> - This change gives the launchers their own CommonJS scope and clears
empty identity overrides while preserving managed credential isolation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

In a repository with `"type": "module"`, the managed `git` and `gh`
launchers fail immediately with `ReferenceError: require is not defined
in ES module scope`. The launchers use CommonJS but inherited the
enclosing project's module type.

Sandbox agents also report empty `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME` and
`GIT_COMMITTER_NAME` variables and try to unset them for each command.
With no managed identity available, the Git launcher recreated those
empty values. `git commit` failed with `fatal: empty ident name`, even
with explicit `user.name` and `user.email` configuration.

**Expected behavior**

Managed `git` and `gh` start in both ES module and CommonJS projects.
Local commits with an explicitly configured identity work without manual
environment cleanup. Managed credentials and captured identity continue
to take precedence. Missing identity does not silently select the host
user's details.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a sandbox project whose `package.json` contains `"type":
"module"`.
2. Stage the managed GitHub launchers and run `git --version` or `gh
--version`. Before this fix, the launcher fails at its first
`require()`.
3. In a CommonJS project with no available managed identity, configure
repository `user.name` and `user.email`, or supply them with `git -c`.
4. Run `git commit --allow-empty -m test`. Before this fix, both
identity configuration forms fail with empty identity.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from master commit `165b10bd9`.

**Deployment mode**

Sandbox execution. The shared launcher is also used for managed local
and SSH execution.

Related work: #13094 introduced the local-operation fallback; #13053
changes launcher discovery on Windows. Neither fixes empty identity
overrides. Related identity work in #8945 and #8946 configures worktree
authorship and does not remove these environment overrides.

## What Changed

- Stage `package.json` with `"type": "commonjs"` in the launcher
directory before the Node scripts. Keep the project's package
configuration unchanged.
- Leave inherited author and committer variables unset in the real Git
process. When credentials are absent, require explicit Git identity
configuration with `user.useConfigOnly`.
- Clear empty identity merge overrides in staged shell profiles after
environment merging. Preserve nonempty captured identity values.
- Exercise real Git commits with repository and command-line identity,
broker failures, and managed-user switching. Verify startup in ES module
and CommonJS projects, shell cleanup, and captured identity
preservation.
- Document launcher module scope and local identity behavior in the
execution GitHub identity contract.

## Verification

- Confirmed both new local-commit regression cases fail before the fix
with `fatal: empty ident name`.
- Confirmed the new ES module project regression fails before the fix
with `require is not defined in ES module scope`.
- Focused launcher and shell tests: 28 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-utils --exclude
'**/dist/**'`: 1,216 passed, 11 skipped across 58 files.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` and `pnpm
--filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils build`: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`: attempted; both stop in the
unchanged native runner because Cargo is not installed on this machine.
- Full `pnpm test:run`: started locally; stopped the duplicate run after
the complete CI suite passed. No local full-suite success is claimed.
- CI on `99ea8050e`: all 53 checks passed (2 skipped), including full
tests, typecheck, build, native runner checks, and browser checks.
- Greptile reviewed `99ea8050e`: 5/5 with no findings or unresolved
comments. GitHub reports no merge conflicts with master.
- No live sandbox or GitHub push probe performed.

## Risks

- The new package scope is confined to the run-specific launcher
directory. It does not change the project's module type, launcher names,
or credential selection.
- Without a managed identity, an explicitly configured repository author
can now create local commits. GitHub access remains subject to the
existing credential broker. Global/system Git configuration, ambient
credentials, and SSH identity remain isolated.
- Managed identity still wins over repository settings. Missing local
identity still fails instead of guessing host details.
- New or resumed executions must stage the updated launcher and shell
profiles. Existing processes retain their prior files and environment
until refreshed. No database migration or sandbox image rebuild is
required.
- Revert this change to restore the prior behavior.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with code inspection, implementation, and
local test execution. The hosted model variant and context window were
not exposed.

DottaandPaperclip e26d787928 Shorten continuation prompts and verify question tool guidance (#13574)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents must continue tasks using user answers without losing earlier
requirements or approval gates.
> - The wake prompt mixed human decisions with prior tool evidence and
repeated detailed question instructions.
> - Those instructions belong with the question tool, with a short
routing hint in the wake.
> - The Runner evals need to prove that answers, approvals, and
completed work survive later turns.
> - This PR shortens the prompts, separates authenticated answers, and
adds continuation tests with useful screenshots.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13517. This is a follow-up to the merged onboarding skill and
Runner E2E work. Related #13539 covers responses received while a run is
active; this PR preserves its cases and adds continuation coverage.
Existing continuation/recovery and question PRs were searched; none
covers this prompt/documentation and eval change.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The instructions sent when an agent continues a task, the native
human-input tool documentation, and the evidence captured by Runner
full-stack E2E.

**Current behavior**

The wake repeats a long question-tool guide. Human answers appear
alongside untrusted prior results. Screenshot capture can finish at DOM
load while the task still shows a spinner, even when backend behavior
checks pass.

**Proposed behavior**

Keep earlier requirements unless the user changes them. Treat
clarification as distinct from approval. Give authenticated human
responses a scoped field. Keep tool and agent results as evidence. Put
detailed question behavior in the tool descriptor and retain one routing
sentence in the native wake. Wait for the correct task and loaded
conversation before taking screenshots.

**Reason and benefit**

Reduce repeated prompt text and make authority boundaries clear. Test
that real question cards, later answers, approval gates, and completed
child tasks still work. Make screenshots useful for human review.

## What Changed

- Shorten shared continuation instructions for legacy and native
runners. Separate authenticated user responses from tool results and
agent summaries.
- Remove the detailed question guide from native wake prompts. Keep its
behavior in the canonical `request_human_input` descriptor and existing
payload schema. Regenerate semantic contracts and fixture hashes.
- Add five continuation cases across four local profiles. Add a
dedicated choice-then-text case for native Codex and native Claude. All
22 cells join the shared full E2E campaign.
- Cover revised scope, clarification without approval, hostile
instructions in a handoff file, and reuse of a completed child after
restart. Keep production instructions and fixed user facts.
- Capture continuation screenshots only when the intended task and
conversation have rendered. Add provider-free browser regressions for
loaders and wrong-task capture.
- Preserve current master’s extra tool and onboarding cases. The default
campaign now contains 166 cells; 35 manual everyday cells remain
separate.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed after replay on current master.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 340 passed. Harness typecheck passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome pnpm
test:e2e:runner:browser-support`: 4 passed. These tests failed against
immediate screenshot capture and passed after the fix.
- Focused continuation and native-input tests: 36 passed locally. The
tool-authority suite could not initialize embedded PostgreSQL locally,
including one isolated retry; its 17 assertions did not run locally. The
full remote server shards passed on this PR commit.
- `pnpm build`: passed after replay on current master. `pnpm test:run`
was attempted locally but hit the same embedded PostgreSQL
initialization failure; the remaining local run was stopped after
complete remote CI passed. This is not claimed as a full local test
pass.
- [Full PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35232755685):
passed on `6a22128c14f4552d0613a6d9a25955db4a1ed02f`. All
server/chat/workspace/serialized shards, browser shards, Runner checks,
typecheck, build, canary and policy checks passed. The isolated native
Runner build and security checks also passed: 57 successful checks, with
two expected Storybook skips.
- Greptile reviewed the exact PR head at 5/5, with no findings or
unresolved review threads. The PR has no merge conflicts.
- [Live question-docs
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-question-docs-35227647794/):
3/3 passed at source `83dd132f2` before replay on master. Native Codex
and Claude each asked a choice, waited, asked a text question, and saved
both answers. Claude also passed a completed-child restart case. All
three native turns are checked for absence of the old question block.
- [Earlier continuation
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-continuation-35154943615/):
all five continuation cases passed on native Claude. The report retains
campaign and revision provenance and separately shows two unresolved
onboarding behavior failures.
- [Before/after prompt
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-prompt-comparison-20260917/):
full text, current recorded Claude inputs, and reproducible
reference-token counts. The controlled wake comparison removes 401
reference tokens; the net counted input reduction is 339 after charging
the larger tool description. These are text-size estimates, not measured
billing savings.

## Risks

- Prompt wording affects model behavior. Live results cover the stated
cases, not every provider or conversation. Legacy profiles are
registered but were not rerun for this change.
- The optional continuation field changes prompt data only; there is no
database migration or new production API.
- Authenticated answer projection excludes generated summaries and
agent-resolved interactions. It preserves the answer’s question or
approval scope.
- The screenshot guard can expose UI loading failures that earlier runs
hid. Backend grading alone no longer makes those captures valid.
- The two prior onboarding failures remain separate product issues: work
before acceptance and a missing saved plan. This PR does not claim the
entire onboarding suite passes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution,
and browser verification. The exact deployed model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip d49f168381 fix: publish sandbox files on legacy and native runners (#13493)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents must publish generated files so users can inspect their
results after a sandbox stops.
> - Legacy sandbox bridges blocked attachment listing and could not
carry multipart binary uploads through the queue transport.
> - The native runner has a separate verified file registration path
that needs the same durable result.
> - This pull request repairs legacy binary transport, makes native
download receipts explicit, and reveals new outputs in the task
Artifacts tab.
> - Users can open generated files from either runner without a
transport flag change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13355 for the existing native file publication path. Related
filename fixes: #2615 and #4788. Related sandbox persistence work:
#13376. This change repairs attachment delivery through the existing
API; it does not add workspace persistence.

**What happened?**

The upload helper first lists task attachments to avoid duplicates. Both
legacy bridge allowlists rejected that GET request with 403. A direct
multipart upload also failed: the queue bridge accepted only JSON,
excluded attachment uploads, and converted bytes to UTF-8 text. Enabling
HTTP/2 alone did not fix the missing listing route. These failures
occurred before attachment storage.

**Expected behavior**

Both runners can publish a workspace file, register its work product,
bind it to a response, and return a working download. The file stays
accessible after sandbox deletion. A new output opens the task Artifacts
tab. The agent receives accurate errors and decides how to retry or
report a failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a legacy agent in Daytona with the duplex bridge disabled.
2. Invoke the bundled upload helper with Bash on a PNG or PDF.
3. Repeat with the duplex bridge enabled.
4. Register the same file through the native runner with generic API
tools disabled.
5. Retry registration, delete the sandbox, and compare the downloaded
bytes with the original file.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failing baseline was `f2c5e54dc`. This branch is rebased onto
`6cfe4acff`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with a local API and real isolated Daytona sandboxes.

## What Changed

- Allow authenticated attachment listing, upload, and content download
through both legacy bridge transports.
- Add optional base64 body encoding to queue envelopes. Preserve the
existing UTF-8 contract when the encoding field is absent. Decode binary
bodies before forwarding them.
- Preserve multipart headers. Bound raw bytes, encoded envelopes, and
in-flight reservations. Retain timeout and uncertain-write behavior.
- Preserve helper deduplication and return structured uncertain-write
failures. Document explicit Bash invocation in live skills.
- Add attachment IDs and content/download paths to native registration
receipts. Reuse verified local and remote file reads, attachment
storage, work-product registration, and response binding.
- Preserve Unicode upload filenames and provide a valid
Content-Disposition header.
- Open the task Artifacts tab when new stored outputs arrive, including
a closed desktop panel or mobile drawer. Deduplicate upload and
registration events by object ID. Preserve manual selection on
refetches, edits, and panel remounts.
- Remove task artifact filters, the company Artifacts footer link, and
the unassigned group heading and timestamp.

### Screenshot

![Generated images and a document in the task Artifacts
tab](https://pages.paperclip.ing/sandbox-file-delivery-2026-09-15/artifacts-tab.png)

This is the local display fixture. The image was generated separately
and published through the attachment and work-product APIs.

## Verification

- Post-rebase `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass.
- The post-rebase local `pnpm test:run` passed 12,369 tests before one
existing conversation reset test timed out; all 33 tests in that suite
pass when rerun with isolated test configuration. The aggregate command
stopped before its remaining groups. GitHub runs the complete suite in
separate shards.
- All [GitHub verification
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35017893350)
pass on `b66ac276dd3d5fc738a22ecea783400106a494d4`: 32 successful checks
and two configured skips. The native-session recovery assertion
initially raced its fire-and-forget Sentry report; all 13 tests pass
locally, and the same-commit CI rerun passes all 170 suites (3,079
tests).
- Live post-rebase Daytona: all three file-delivery tests pass. They
cover the real Bash helper with the queue bridge, the helper with
HTTP/2, and native `register_deliverable` with generic API tools
disabled.
- Daytona cases cover PNG/PDF bytes, spaced and Unicode names, duplicate
registration, response binding, authorization controls, and
byte-for-byte downloads after sandbox deletion.
- Local focused coverage includes transfer bounds, malformed encoding,
interrupted transfers, remote path containment, and native file
verification. The attachment route suite passes all 32 tests, including
an eight-case filename-header matrix for Unicode and special characters,
inline and forced downloads, and full and partial responses.
- Browser verification confirms image previews, persisted downloads,
automatic Artifacts selection, and preserved manual selection after
edits and reloads. Desktop/mobile component coverage passes. The latest
UI cleanup passes its 10 affected tests and token gates.
- Coverage limit: the Daytona tests call the real helper and native
registration path directly. They do not replay a complete model-led
image-generation task through the browser.

Live command (requires a configured Daytona credential):

```sh
PAPERCLIP_FILE_DELIVERY_DAYTONA=1 pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/file-delivery-bridges.test.ts
```

## Risks

- Binary queue bodies use more memory because base64 adds encoding
overhead. Transfer and process limits must remain aligned.
- An interrupted write can have an unknown result. The bridge reports
this state and preserves stable retry identities.
- New artifacts intentionally change the active task tab. Existing
history and repeated updates must not take focus again.
- Transport flag defaults, server authorization, frozen skill snapshots,
and completion policies remain unchanged. No schema migration is
required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser testing. The runtime does not expose a more
specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip f4cdc7b231 fix: recover transient workspace bootstrap scans (#13481)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The control plane prepares task workspaces before it starts an
agent.
> - Workspace preparation reads Git state so it can preserve edits and
exclude private files.
> - A failed scan was treated as a non-Git folder and lost its actual
failure code.
> - The resulting generic setup failure could not recover, even when the
cause was temporary.
> - This pull request keeps the cause and uses the existing bounded
retry schedule before provider startup.
> - Tasks can recover without human intervention, while permanent
failures and exhausted retries stop with useful guidance.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Git scan error during managed repository preparation became
`Configured repository folder is not a Git checkout`, followed by
generic `setup_failed`. The agent never started. Generic recovery could
not distinguish a temporary timeout from a bad workspace configuration.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the closed scan error code. Retry temporary timeouts and queue
saturation under the existing shared budget. Preserve edits, exclusions,
ownership, and pause gates. Stop permanent failures and exhausted
retries with a specific explanation. Do not replay historical generic
setup failures.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a task project with a local Git source that must be copied
into its managed repositories.
2. Make the ignored-file scan exceed its timeout before the agent
starts.
3. Before this fix, the snapshot returns null and the run ends as
non-retryable `setup_failed`.
4. Use the disposable browser fixture in
`tests/e2e/workspace-bootstrap/README.md` to inject real timeouts and
test the full recovery path.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `4510bf7c9e2fcbeb043445850928b5dcb79908ca`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. The defect is in core workspace setup, not a specific
model provider.

Related work: Refs #13442 (managed repository preparation), Refs #11572
(bounded Git scheduler), Refs #12997 (separate adapter startup retry
work), Refs #13469 (separate terminal-workspace scan performance work).

## What Changed

- Return the non-Git fallback only for repository discovery. Propagate
failed scans of a confirmed repository.
- Replace full ignored status output with an ignored-only directory
listing. Preserve NUL-delimited paths and exclusions.
- Preserve typed, sanitized scan errors through workspace preparation
and persist pre-provider failure details.
- Retry only timeouts and queue saturation, using the existing durable
two-retry budget and issue gates. Prevent generic recovery from adding
another budget.
- Show workspace-specific failure copy and actionable exhausted-recovery
notices.
- Add red-green unit tests, real-database restart and retry-boundary
tests, and opt-in browser acceptance fixtures with real Git subprocess
timeouts.
- Document the recovery contract and browser verification procedure.

## Verification

- Red: injected scan failures returned null instead of rejecting; setup
lost the timeout code; task-thread and recovery notices had generic
copy.
- Green: 119 focused adapter/backend tests, 20 recovery-boundary tests,
and 136 task-thread tests.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed on the final production code.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- The initial local `pnpm test:run` overlapped source edits and was
interrupted after two late-added assertions saw pre-fix behavior; it is
not counted as a green full run. A fresh final-head run passed all 229
tests across the six affected adapter/backend/UI suites. The clean
latest-head CI full test matrix passed: all five general-server shards,
all five serialized-server shards, and all three general-workspace
shards.
- Latest-head CI also passed all three browser shards and their
aggregate gate, typecheck and release registry, build, runner
verification, canary dry run, policy, Docker context integrity, and
security gates. Greptile: 5/5, with the review thread resolved.
- Browser: created a task in a disposable instance. A real Git timeout
scheduled recovery, the next run completed through the run-scoped API
without manual Retry, and Done survived reload. The deterministic
process worker checked preserved source edits and excluded private
files; no model calls were made.
- `WORKSPACE_BOOTSTRAP_TEST_URL=<disposable-instance-url> pnpm exec
playwright test --config
tests/e2e/workspace-bootstrap/playwright.config.ts` — 2 passed (3.6
minutes). The persistent case made exactly three failed attempts, never
started the worker, showed the cause-specific notice, stayed stopped for
another scheduler tick, and retained Blocked after reload.
- Extra red-green coverage: 50 recovery tests passed after fixing an
exhausted-bootstrap classification that incorrectly implied unknown
provider actions. Missing or uncertain evidence still retains the safety
hold.
- Verified the documented Git executable override during repository
seeding.

## Risks

- A confirmed repository scan failure now fails closed instead of
falling back to directory sync. This prevents unfiltered copying but
makes previously hidden errors visible.
- Temporary host problems can create up to two additional setup
attempts, 30 seconds apart. Permanent scan errors do not auto-retry.
Generic recovery cannot reset this budget.
- The durable retry path still enforces ownership, pause, and work
eligibility. Integration tests cover restart, duplicate promotion,
pause, exhaustion, and non-retryable categories.
- No schema migration, new runtime setting, new retry budget, production
deployment, or historical task replay.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent, with reasoning, repository
tools, shell execution, and browser testing. The exact deployment model
ID and context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 8f1905d34d fix: provision all project repositories for local and sandbox tasks (#13442)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Projects can now attach several source repositories.
> - Task preparation still treated these sources as alternative
workspaces.
> - Sandbox sync preserved Git history only for the selected repository.
> - A task needs every attached repository to complete work across the
project.
> - This pull request prepares all distinct project repositories and
preserves their separate Git histories through sandbox restore.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A user reported that a project with two repositories received only the
first repository in Daytona. Repository-only project rows also reached
the agent with null local paths. Managed checkouts with matching
repository names could resolve to the same directory.

**Expected behavior**

Local and sandbox tasks receive every distinct repository attached to
their project. Repository-only sources work without preconfigured local
folders. Each repository keeps its own Git history and working files.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a project with two repository sources and no local folder
paths.
2. Assign a task to the project and run it in Daytona.
3. Inspect the task workspace and the repository paths exposed to the
agent.
4. Observe that the original implementation supplies only the selected
checkout.

Related change: #13010 added multiple repository selection. The open
repository-catalog proposals #11234 and #11228 cover a different data
model. This fix uses the existing project workspaces.

## What Changed

- Materialize each additional distinct repository as an editable
checkout inside the task root. Seed configured local sources with their
current working files and retain task edits across runs.
- Pass materialized repository paths to local agents and native sandbox
task prompts. Apply existing run-scoped Git credentials to each remote
clone.
- Preserve each repository's Git history, dirty files, and restore
baseline during sandbox staging and durable recovery. Apply each
repository's ignore rules and the operator's workspace exclusions.
- Keep same-name managed repositories in separate directories. Report
additional clone failures before the task starts.
- Add task-level, checkout, sandbox round-trip, environment-hint, and
recovery-descriptor regression coverage. Document checkout and restore
behavior.

## Verification

- Red: the original implementation fails the sandbox test because the
second repository has no Git directory. It also fails the same-name
checkout test and both real-database task tests because repository hints
have no local path.
- Green: focused tests pass for one and two repository-only sources,
local source edits, clone failures, per-repository credentials, separate
Git histories, ignored files, and recovery from remote or durable seed
state.
- Live Daytona smoke passed with two disposable repositories through the
production provider sync functions. Both repositories arrived with Git
history. Commits from both restored locally. Ignored files stayed
excluded. The disposable sandbox was deleted.
- Passed on final commit `93ab76763`: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm
build`.
- Final focused coverage: 254 assertions across the six changed test
areas passed across the serial run and an isolated rerun of the existing
process-kill timing test. The live Daytona smoke also passed.
- The local `pnpm test:run` overlapped source edits and retained stale
transformed code. Its first phase reported 12,240 passed assertions,
nine failed assertions, three hook failures, and one worker error; later
phases did not run locally. This run is not claimed as green. Fresh
focused tests verify the changes, and every general/workspace and
serialized-server CI shard passes on the final commit.
- Final CI is green on `93ab76763`: all test shards, all three browser
shards, typecheck, build, runner verification, canary dry run, and
security checks. The initial unrelated chat-delivery browser timing
failure passed in the final CI run. Optional Storybook visual checks
were skipped.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the final commit with no unresolved review threads.
Its checkout-race finding was reproduced with a failing test, fixed, and
rechecked.

## Risks

- Additional repositories need disk space and clone time. Access failure
for an attached repository stops preparation.
- Additional checkouts live under `.paperclip-repositories/` and keep
independent histories. Changes stay in those task copies; they do not
overwrite configured source folders.
- Detached or reconfigured repository copies are retained under
`.paperclip-runtime/detached-repositories/`. Sandbox recovery retains
per-repository merge baselines.
- No database migration, UI contract change, or new credential
delegation is required. Referenced projects retain their separate
read-only behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with repository inspection, code
execution, and tool use. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model deployment ID or context-window size.

Devin Foley 5054c9ef9b fix(grok): stage the environment test from a host directory, and survive an absent workspace (#13416)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An agent runs through an adapter. Before you use an environment, the
adapter's environment test probes it and reports structured checks
> - The grok adapter's environment test stages the managed account into
a remote environment first. It gave the runtime its resolved `cwd` as
the host workspace directory
> - For a remote target that `cwd` is a path inside the sandbox. It does
not exist on the host that runs the test
> - A new workspace ignore scan reads that host directory. The scan
failed on the missing directory, and the error escaped the environment
test
> - The user got a server error instead of a result with checks
> - This pull request stages from a host temporary directory, sends the
remote path separately, and reports a staging failure as a check
> - The benefit is that the grok environment test always answers with
checks, and a workspace directory that does not exist no longer stops a
runtime preparation

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing issue. The problem, in the bug report format:

**What happened**
The grok environment test failed with `Error: Workspace ignore scan
failed: git-ignore-scan-failed`. The route returned a server error, so
the user saw no checks at all.

**Expected behavior**
The environment test always returns `{status, checks}`. Every other
problem it finds (an invalid working directory, a command it cannot
resolve, a probe that times out) becomes a check with a level. A
credential staging problem must do the same.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a grok agent with a managed AI connection.
2. Point the agent at a remote (sandbox) environment.
3. Run the environment test for that environment.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Present on master. Both halves landed on 2026-09-12: the call site in
#13247, and the scan that it trips in #13353.

## What Changed

- `packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/test.ts` stages the managed
account through a fresh host temporary directory and passes the remote
path as `workspaceRemoteDir`. This is the split `codex-local` and
`opencode-local` already use.
- A failure while staging becomes a `grok_environment_unprepared` check
with level `error`, instead of an exception that escapes the function.
The probe does not run after it, because there is no prepared
environment to probe.
- The temporary directory is removed in the existing `finally` block.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.ts` treats a
`workspaceLocalDir` that does not exist as "nothing to sync". A
directory that is not there has no files for ignore rules to govern,
nothing to stage, and nothing to restore.
- Tests: the grok environment test now covers the managed-connection
remote branch, which had no coverage. `sandbox-file-sync.test.ts` covers
a preparation whose workspace directory does not exist.

## Verification

```
npx vitest run packages/adapters/grok-local/src/server/test.test.ts     # 9 passed
npx vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-file-sync.test.ts \
              packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-managed-runtime.test.ts # 90 passed
cd packages/adapter-utils && npx tsc --noEmit                            # clean
cd packages/adapters/grok-local && npx tsc --noEmit                      # clean
```

The two new grok tests fail against the old call site: the first asserts
the runtime never receives the remote path as its host workspace
directory, and the second asserts a staging failure becomes a check
instead of an exception.

## Risks

Low risk, and limited to environment preparation.

- The adapter change only affects the managed-connection remote branch
of one adapter's environment test.
- The `adapter-utils` change makes a preparation that used to throw now
continue with no workspace sync. A real workspace is unaffected, because
the directory exists in that case and the scan runs exactly as before.
- No migration. No API change.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), 1M context, extended thinking, run
through Claude Code with tool use and code execution.

02c7175e72 feat(agents): hired agents inherit provider credential references (#13268)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent adapters need provider credentials to start work
> - A hired agent can lack the credential reference that its hiring
agent already uses
> - The child agent then cannot authenticate, even when the company has
a valid credential
> - This pull request copies matching credential references from the
hiring agent to the hired agent
> - The benefit is that hired agents can start with the provider access
that the hiring agent already uses

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This change relates to [PR
#9920](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9920), which covers
credential inheritance for other agent creation paths. This pull request
covers hiring-specific inheritance and fixed Claude OAuth binding
checks.

### What existing behavior does this improve?

The agent hire route builds the child adapter configuration from the
hire request only.

### Current behavior

A hired agent does not receive matching provider credential references
from its hiring agent. The child agent cannot run when the request omits
the credential.

### Proposed behavior

The hire route inherits matching credential references from the hiring
agent. The request keeps priority. A Claude hire that supplies any
Claude credential inherits none.

### Reason and benefit

The child agent can use the provider access that the hiring agent
already uses. The change copies references only and never copies raw
token values.

### Breaking changes

None. The change affects only hires that need an inherited reference.

## What Changed

- Copy matching credential references from the hiring agent into the
hired agent adapter configuration.
- Preserve pinned versions, `required`, and `allowMissingOverride`
fields on each copied reference.
- Keep hire-request credentials ahead of inherited credentials.
- Reject inherited fixed Claude OAuth bindings unless the parent agent
passes company, adapter, and exact-binding checks inside the same
transaction.
- Add route and service tests for inheritance, precedence, and binding
validation.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
src/__tests__/agent-hire-auth-inheritance-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/agents-claude-oauth-binding.test.ts` — 60 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
src/__tests__/agent-hire-idempotency-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/agents-service-secret-bindings.test.ts
src/__tests__/secrets-service-user-secret-owner-scoped.test.ts` — 28
passed.
- `tsc --noEmit` in `server/` — the error count matches the merge base,
with no error in either changed source file.
- `git diff --check` — clean.

## Risks

Low risk. The route copies references, not raw tokens. The request keeps
precedence. Company, adapter, and exact-binding checks protect the
inherited Claude OAuth path.

## Model Used

Codex, OpenAI GPT-5, with code execution and review support. The
implementation commit predates this pull request handoff.

DottaandPaperclip 78ce96a48b fix(runner): restore native Claude context and read permissions (#13422)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner supplies each agent with instructions, assigned
skills, and tools.
> - Native Claude lost its skill snapshot before provider launch. It
also changed exact model IDs to aliases.
> - The read permission mode denied ordinary Paperclip reads because
this runner has no interactive approval handler.
> - This pull request restores the missing context and permits only
assigned tools that Paperclip defines as reads.
> - Other requests that need approval stop with a clear action for the
operator. They do not retry automatically.
> - Agents can complete read tasks. Users can see why a restricted task
stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native Claude could not find assigned skills. The ACP layer could
replace an exact model ID with an alias and then fail identity
verification. The default `approve-reads` mode denied Paperclip read
tools. A denied write showed a generic transport failure.

The tool descriptions also called live operations “mock” operations. The
completion prompt said to call a completion tool once, although the
protocol can reject a claim and require a corrected call.

**Expected behavior**

Load assigned skills before launch. Keep the selected model ID. Allow
assigned Paperclip reads. Stop an operation that needs approval with
clear instructions when no approval handler exists.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a native Paperclip Runner agent with ACPX Claude and an
exact model ID.
2. Assign a skill and ask the agent to use it.
3. Select the read permission mode and ask the agent to read task
context and list documents.
4. Ask the agent to write a document. Check the task state and recovery
message.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from `d351e08deee1b49d3467a950d1a3f01131943441`.

**Deployment mode**

Local native runner with real Claude, Rust runnerd, the Paperclip
server, and embedded PostgreSQL.

Related: #13196 fixed remote skill staging in the legacy `claude_local`
adapter. The native runner uses a separate path, which this pull request
fixes.

## What Changed

- Carry the runtime context through Rust and the ACPX sidecar. Load
assigned Claude skills after the provider lifetime lease is held.
Refresh the files on each open.
- Write the exact requested model ID into the isolated Claude settings.
- Grant exact MCP permissions for the intersection of assigned tools and
Paperclip's read catalog. Provider hints cannot grant access. Existing
task-control permissions stay in place.
- Stop requests that need an unavailable approval handler. Preserve the
typed error through the server. Show “Approval required” on the task and
require operator action without automatic retry.
- Label the setting “Allow Paperclip reads.” Remove “mock” from live
tool descriptions and regenerate the contracts.
- Change one completion-prompt sentence to require one accepted result.
Add regression tests and update the runner documentation.

## Verification

- Red/green regression tests cover read admission, unavailable approval
handling, server recovery, and the task error message.
- A real Claude read trial failed before the fix and completed after it:
[red
trace](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/object?object_type=project_logs&object_id=fda74078-b00d-495a-90d3-ea1be019d71b&id=95e6a326e24437f1),

- Full browser tests used real Claude and the production tool authority.
Reads completed. A write stopped with “Approval required.” No document
was created and no automatic retry was scheduled. All nine checks
passed: [events and
screenshots](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/object?object_type=project_logs&object_id=fda74078-b00d-495a-90d3-ea1be019d71b&id=1c4ff10be0d779cc).
- A separate full browser test assigned a skill, invoked it, and
completed with a marker absent from the task prompt: [skill
evidence](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/Paperclip/object?object_type=project_logs&object_id=fda74078-b00d-495a-90d3-ea1be019d71b&id=ba5fbcb29a60be52).
- Post-rebase checks passed: 128 targeted runner tests, 46 Rust tests,
27 sidecar/protocol contract tests, `pnpm -r typecheck`, and `pnpm
build`. The server/UI red-green checks and `pnpm check:token-gates` also
passed. The full suite passed in CI, including all general and
serialized test shards, all three browser shards, and runner
`check:all`. The duplicate unsharded local full-suite run was stopped
after CI passed.

Braintrust links require project access. The traces contain
provider/runner events and app outcomes. They do not contain raw model
HTTP requests.

## Risks

- `approve-reads` now allows assigned Paperclip reads. Other operations
that need approval stop the turn. Users must review the operation and
change permissions before retrying.
- The Claude settings depend on the pinned ACP and SDK behavior.
Automated tests and real Claude trials cover this boundary.
- The native Codex path is unchanged. The ACPX Codex fallback shares the
clearer approval failure handling.
- Local execution was tested end to end. Remote execution was not run.
This change has no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The agent used reasoning, code execution,
and browser tools. The exact deployment ID and context-window size were
not exposed in the session. Live acceptance tests used
`claude-sonnet-5`.

DottaandPaperclip f2c5e54dca fix(runner): preserve handoff work and publish requested files (#13355)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their tasks.
> - A task keeps its instructions, progress, and files when its assigned
agent changes.
> - The replacement runner lost the interrupted run's context and could
overwrite an existing draft.
> - A saved message also stayed attached to the former agent and could
reopen the task after the replacement finished.
> - File tasks could report Done with only a local path that the user
could not open.
> - This pull request transfers handoff context and saved messages, and
makes requested files accessible through the existing attachment
contract.
> - Users can change agents and collect completed work without repeating
instructions or confirming bookkeeping.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13338. Builds on merged #13354 for queue admission and #13353 for
remote workspace retry. #10123 concerns restricted recovery-model
escalation; this change instead covers ordinary native handoff and file
completion.

**What happened?**

Codex wrote a draft before a user assigned the task to Claude. The
replacement lacked continuation context and replaced the draft. A queued
user message could later restart the former agent and reopen the
completed task. Separately, a runner could finish a requested file but
return only a machine-local path. Remote native runs had no bound file
publication tool.

**Expected behavior**

The replacement reads and preserves existing work, receives saved
messages once, and keeps each message's author. The former agent stays
stopped. A requested file has a working attachment or accessible work
product before Done. Text-only tasks do not require attachments.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask Codex to save three newsletter names and then wait.
2. Queue an instruction to keep those names and expand the draft.
3. Use Interrupt and assign to select Claude.
4. Verify the original names survive, the result has a working download,
and only the source and replacement runs exist.
5. Ask either provider for a Markdown checklist and open the file from
its completed response.

## What Changed

- Carry the exact same-task interrupted run's summary, semantic
receipts, and history into handoff context. Tell the replacement to
inspect existing files before editing.
- Adopt saved ordinary task comments into the successor's receipt under
the task lock. Preserve authors and separate mention, chat, and
interaction contracts.
- Prevent a former-assignee comment wake from reopening a completed task
or starting a stale execution.
- Reject workspace-only, fabricated, and cross-task file completion
references with actionable runner feedback. New file output also needs a
matching current-run publication receipt and asset filename/size/hash,
or an accessible work product registered by the current run. Prior
output can remain context alongside a current file, or be verified and
re-registered internally. Authorized chat attachment reuse retains its
verified current-run clone receipt; older receipt shapes require an
intact matching source.
- Bind remote file reads to the active environment runner and reuse the
existing attachment and work-product publication path.
- Enforce workspace confinement, regular single-link files, stable
identity, a 10 MiB limit, and exact size and SHA-256 checks. Rotate the
native session fingerprint for the updated tool contract.
- Contain rejected remote signals and protocol-failure cleanup,
including logging failures. Preserve the original cleanup rejection for
its owner; a rejected operation never supplies stop acknowledgement or
cleanup proof.
- Allow exactly one maximum-size base64 file through the native SSH
command adapter, preserving a finite output cap.
- Document handoff and accessible file completion rules.

## Verification

- Each observed bug has a failing regression before its fix. Final
post-rebase integration passed 732 tests across 13 files before the
final receipt and signal guards; final affected results are below.
- Publication provenance and compatibility: 8 provenance regressions and
2 compatibility regressions failed before their fixes; the final four
affected suites pass 53 tests, including mixed old/new references and
real authorized chat reuse. Controls cover old attachments and work
products, filename/size/hash/origin mismatch, missing/wrong receipts,
current-run publication, same-run durable proof, internally
re-registering preserved bytes, and no-new-file follow-ups.
- Remote signal rejection: the real Node subprocess previously exited 1
when the production launcher signalled a deleted sandbox. It now stays
alive for both a failed signal and failed logging; all 349 executor
tests pass. The failed signal still provides no termination proof.
- Remote file reader and SSH command boundary: 33 tests passed,
including real Linux descriptor reads and the actual SSH adapter
subprocess output cap (network executable replaced by a deterministic
fixture). Exact 10 MiB bytes pass, one byte beyond the encoded cap
fails.
- Live local Claude and Codex Stop journeys preserve the saved file,
deliver queued instructions once, and reach Done with two total runs.
The handoff journey preserves the original names and download with
exactly two runs. Both local providers deliver exact checklist files
without a completion confirmation.
- Live combined Daytona verification passed: the original failed task's
Retry reused its sandbox; a selected Git subfolder produced an exact
downloadable file; warm and deliberately resumed Claude runs took about
33 seconds. Codex produced a 240-byte download in 33.1 seconds after 134
seconds of contention/backoff. Both cloud downloads retained exact bytes
after the two owned sandboxes were deleted.
- The sandbox-deletion retest identified a separate ignored promise in
protocol-failure cleanup. Two real Node subprocess regressions failed
under fatal unhandled-rejection policy before the fix; all 36 protocol,
lifecycle, and integrity tests now pass. The original close promise
still rejects to its owning runtime. The final live retest passed: a
normal Claude Daytona task completed in 132.352 seconds, then its
sandbox was deleted. Thirteen samples over 361 seconds confirmed the
same controller stayed healthy, the task stayed Done with unchanged run
IDs, and its attachment retained exact bytes. The post-deletion browser
download passed with zero page errors; all five owned sandboxes are
confirmed absent.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed on final commit
`de64d16f1`. Final-head Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
[Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34736623758)
passed: 32 successful checks and two conditional skips. The earlier
mixed-source full local test invocation was deliberately stopped before
rebase, so no pristine green full local aggregate is claimed. Its known
failures passed in later affected suites.

## Risks

- Handoff may adopt only ordinary comments from its validated former
owner. Other delivery contracts must remain independent.
- File verification fails closed if a remote file changes during
reading. The runner must retry publication or explain a blocker.
- The updated session fingerprint starts a fresh provider process where
needed to install the new tool contract.
- No schema migration or historical status reconciliation is included.

DottaandPaperclip 827ba8a434 fix: cancel stalled sandbox startup without waiting for setup (#13352)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Sandbox runs prepare credentials and files before an agent starts.
> - Stop must work during that preparation.
> - ACPX registered cancellation, but did not handle it while a setup
command was waiting.
> - Daytona cleanup waited for that same command before stopping the
sandbox.
> - This change stops the run's sandbox first and requires proof before
abandoning setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stop left a sandbox run active when remote credential setup stalled. The
run kept its connection lease until the sandbox was stopped separately.

**Expected behavior**

Stop terminates the selected run's sandbox, prevents later setup from
launching the agent, and lets run cleanup finish. It must not report
success without proof from the provider.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an ACPX agent in Daytona.
2. Hold a command during remote credential or file setup.
3. Select Stop before the agent starts.
4. Before this fix, cleanup waits for the held command and never reaches
sandbox stop.

Related: #13351 exposed this during connection acceptance testing.
#12150 addresses scheduler load and session initialization limits, a
separate startup problem.

## What Changed

- Handle cancellation during ACPX sandbox preparation with a host-owned
stop callback.
- Pass an explicit active-work cancellation flag through environment
cleanup.
- Stop Daytona before draining setup commands. Keep normal graceful
cleanup.
- Require an exact run and lease termination receipt. Keep ownership of
outstanding requests when stop cannot be verified.
- Reject late setup work and defer sandbox resume until old requests
settle.
- Add regression tests and document the cancellation boundary.

## Verification

- Red: both the stalled ACPX setup test and the Daytona cancellation
test failed before the fix because Stop never reached the provider.
- Green: adapter and Daytona suites passed, along with cancellation
boundary and database-backed receipt/isolation tests.
- Two real Daytona probes ran a five-minute setup command. Cancellation
returned matching stopped receipts in 6.01 and 6.533 seconds. No later
setup command ran. Both test sandboxes were deleted.
- Repository typecheck and build passed locally. The full required CI
suite passed, including all server/workspace tests, browser shards,
Paperclip Runner verification, and canary packaging. The duplicate local
full-suite run was interrupted after CI passed; it is not claimed as a
completed local pass.
- No UI changes. The live probe uses the actual adapter cancellation
boundary and Daytona plugin; it is not a browser acceptance test.

## Risks

- Provider stop failures remain unacknowledged. The adapter keeps
ownership while its original requests remain active.
- A retry can receive a settling-work error until old provider requests
finish.
- Cancelled sandboxes are stopped and retained under their existing
provider expiry policy.
- Local execution and cancellation after the agent turn starts keep
their current behavior.
- Other providers must return an exact termination receipt to permit
early setup cancellation. No database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code execution and tool use. The exact
deployment identifier and context window are not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip 6809314a3f fix: recover sandbox workspace setup and retries (#13353)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their tasks.
> - Sandbox tasks need a workspace and a provider session before work
can start.
> - A selected Git subfolder is a valid workspace, but it is not a
repository fetch source.
> - A resumed sandbox must keep one resource identity when the provider
fills in its region.
> - Workspace reuse does not prove that a provider session has started.
> - A recorded continuation must not leave an old failure blocking Retry
for a newer attempt.
> - This pull request fixes those setup and recovery boundaries while
preserving ownership checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Daytona task failed before provider startup when its project folder
was inside a parent Git repository. After the folder was repaired, Retry
resumed the same sandbox and verified its workspace sentinel, but
workspace preparation reported that the lease was no longer active. A
later attempt could fail because the resumed workspace had no provider
checkpoint. The old run also kept a recovery projection after the server
recorded its explicit successor, hiding Retry for the new failure.

**Expected behavior**

Sync the selected folder without importing parent files or history. Keep
the existing sandbox identity stable. Allow a new provider session only
with proof that its exact session has never started. Let the current
failed attempt retain Retry once the old recovery has a recorded
successor.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select a subfolder of a Git repository as a project workspace and
start a Daytona task.
2. Leave the target region unset. Release its reusable sandbox after
setup fails, then resume and realize the workspace.
3. Retry a provider setup that failed before any session directory or
checkpoint was created.
4. Record an explicit successor for a native failure, fail that
successor during setup, and inspect Retry in the task thread.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `8d1f0c20a` with new failing regressions before each
production fix.

**Deployment mode**

Local controller with a Daytona environment. Automated tests use
deterministic provider fixtures and real filesystem operations.

Related: #13338, #13163, #13264, #13349. The open work-folder stack in
#13264 includes a broader fresh-session authority change. This patch
addresses the independently reproduced startup failure with existing
durable bootstrap proof and atomic directory creation. It does not
include the work-folder migration or credential changes from that stack.

## What Changed

- Classify only the selected Git repository root as a fetch source. Sync
subfolders as directories and preserve their enclosing Git ignore rules
on upload and restore. Recognize the shared scheduler’s completed
non-repository result so ordinary folders still sync; timeout,
cancellation, and output-limit failures remain closed.
- Remove the placement target from Daytona account cache identity. Keep
API endpoint, credential digest, company, environment, driver, and
sandbox ID boundaries.
- Preserve closed-lease admission until a sentinel-verified resume
reopens that same resource.
- Show the already-recorded explicit successor of a resolved recovery.
Keep the old failure evidence and unresolved holds. No historical status
writes occur.
- Permit a resumed workspace to create a new session directory only with
matching durable identity, zero connections and events, untouched
bootstrap commands, no backup, and an absent remote session. Claim the
directory atomically. Existing, partial, or ambiguous state still blocks
startup.

## Verification

- Final head `c43c7403f`: [CI completed
successfully](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34733846820/attempts/2),
with 32 successful checks and 2 conditional skips. This includes every
server, UI, package, serialized-route, browser, native-runner,
typecheck, and build gate. Greptile reviewed the same head at [5/5 with
no unresolved
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13353#issuecomment-5650270168).
- New regressions failed before each of the four production fixes.
Git/archive/restore suites: 148 passed. The scheduler-wrapped non-Git
regression also failed before its fix; 135 affected Git/sync/Codex tests
then passed.
- Daytona plugin: 230 passed, 6 opt-in live tests skipped. Native
executor, projection, and TaskChatThread: 494 passed, including
existing/partial state, wrong identity, prior connections or turns,
backups, unavailable proof, and unresolved recovery controls.
- Local full-repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed on the
final head. Local CLI: 485 passed. Complete single-worker package rerun:
3,224 passed, 19 skipped.
- Local verification is an aggregate with recorded retries, not one
pristine green invocation: the general-server run began on `e721a920a`
and finished with 12,002 passed, 3 failed, 70 skipped. Its real Codex
scheduler failure is fixed above; the socket and workspace-runtime
timeout failures passed unchanged in focused reruns. Both Inbox failures
passed unchanged in the full 27-test Inbox file; database/shared-package
failures passed in the single-worker package rerun. The supplemental
local serialized-route rerun remains in progress; all five corresponding
final-head CI lanes passed.
- The first final-head CI attempt hit a Daytona fixture-readiness race
and a signoff-browser heartbeat receipt timeout. One supported unchanged
failed-job rerun passed both and the aggregate gates. Live combined
user-journey verification is tracked in the related follow-up; this PR's
provider tests use deterministic fixtures and real filesystem checks.

## Risks

- A selected subfolder uses directory sync and does not carry parent Git
history. Its ignored files stay local.
- The target region remains a creation setting and part of workspace
reuse policy; it does not split the account identity of an existing
sandbox.
- Incomplete or conflicting provider state still fails closed. This
change does not erase a session, infer completed work, bypass a user
decision, or replay uncertain actions.
- A later remote setup failure can leave a claimed partial session
directory. It remains blocked rather than being overwritten.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The exact hosted model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip 47ded8bf97 feat: manage AI runtime credentials through Connections (#13247)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs need credentials for a specific provider and sign-in
method.
> - Connections already owns accounts, grants, and access permissions.
> - AI authentication should use those same boundaries.
> - This pull request adds the storage, API, adoption, and runtime
foundation.
> - Legacy agents keep their authentication until they explicitly adopt
a managed connection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**
AI credentials are configured separately from Connections. Agents cannot
consistently reuse a responsible user's account or a permitted shared
account.

**Proposed solution**
Manage AI accounts with the existing Connections grants and permissions.
Keep model and harness selection independent from credential selection.
Preserve legacy authentication until validated adoption.

**Alternatives considered**
A separate credential registry would duplicate ownership and access
policy. Automatic fallback would risk using the wrong account.

**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the shipped Apps, multi-user, secrets, and agent-runtime
capabilities. The maintainer requested the feature and reviewed the UI.
Related groundwork: #11899 (connection permissions), #10910 (connection
wizard), #11692 (Claude subscription profiles), and #11854 (Codex
account rotation).

## What Changed

- Add AI-purpose/runtime-auth contracts and an additive, idempotent
migration.
- Add Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, and Grok provider capabilities and
catalog entries.
- Store credentials on grants. Resolve responsible-user defaults or
explicit permitted grants.
- Isolate managed credentials and provider sessions across accounts.
Block missing credentials without ambient fallback.
- Keep imported legacy secrets unchanged during reconnect. Use
independent local Codex/Grok sign-in attempts for rotating credentials.
- Add authorization, migration, concurrent refresh, retry, cancellation,
and legacy-compatibility tests.

This is part 1 of a two-PR stack. The app UI follows in #13248. Merge
the foundation first.

## Verification

- Updated against master `04e364236`, preserving upstream provider login
and connector workflows.
- Full workspace typecheck, production build, Storybook build, and token
gates passed on the integrated branch. Final local-login changes passed
59 focused tests; new-agent and inbox regression suites passed 63 tests.
- Browser checks verified automatic local Claude account detection,
resumable Codex login commands, retry, focus restoration, and
desktop/phone layouts. Commands create their isolated directory before
invoking the CLI.
- All current-head CI checks passed on `2a996560a`, including all
server/workspace tests, browser shards, runner verification, typecheck,
build, and canary dry run. Greptile reviewed that commit at 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. Earlier local full-suite attempts hit the Mac
PostgreSQL shared-memory limit; the complete suites passed in CI.
- Renumbered the additive AI migration to `0276` after upstream
migrations and regenerated its snapshot. Existing legacy agents retain
their configuration.
- Added local login status checks, owner-scoped retry, managed OpenCode
remote homes, credential-aware model discovery, and task
connection-repair delivery.

## Risks

- Managed credential failures intentionally block execution. They do not
restore legacy fallback.
- Preview-era copied Codex/Grok subscriptions require independent
reconnect.
- The integrated branch has live provider acceptance coverage. This
update verifies local Claude detection and Codex API-key task repair; it
does not add a new subscription authorization/refresh or Daytona stress
pass.
- Runtime-auth connections must stay excluded from tool and channel
handling.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser testing. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

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.

DottaandPaperclip 7e6d512597 fix(onboarding): make chief-of-staff hiring reliable (#13317)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The first agent helps the board define work and hire other agents.
> - That agent can have the general role while its instructions require
hiring skills.
> - Missing skills and blocked schema discovery make valid requests
fail.
> - Repeated confirmation and invalid waiting guidance can turn these
failures into extra runs.
> - This PR supplies the required skills, opens read-only schema
discovery, and corrects the guidance.
> - The agent can complete an authorized hire while company approval and
duplicate checks still apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13068 — the first-task onboarding flow that this change repairs.
Refs #12029 — related drift between the sandbox allowlist and bundled
hiring guidance. This PR adds schema access; it does not replace the
earlier hiring-route fix.

**What happened?**

A general-role onboarding chief received hiring instructions without the
core hiring skills. Sandbox requests to the documented OpenAPI endpoint
failed. The agent then guessed question and hire payloads. The persona
required new confirmation after validation errors and described waiting
states that agents cannot set.

**Expected behavior**

A direct request authorizes the requested hire. The chief asks only for
material missing details, uses valid API payloads, and completes the
task. Formal company approval gates still apply. A saved human-input
card gives the task a valid waiting state.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an onboarding chief with role `general` through the board.
2. Ask it to hire a friendly robot with a supplied name and
responsibilities.
3. Check its assigned skills, schema requests, question cards, hire
requests, and final task state.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the first-task onboarding implementation after #13068. The
live local verification used this branch at `112f44610`.

**Deployment mode**

The original failure used a hosted sandbox with legacy Codex ACP. Live
verification used an isolated local instance and real `codex_local`
execution. Queue and HTTP/2 transport access is covered by automated
tests.

## What Changed

- Give board-created onboarding chiefs the existing core skills
regardless of role. Preserve explicit skill version pins, including
aliases. Keep ordinary general-agent defaults and authorization checks.
- Allow exactly `GET /api/openapi.json` through both sandbox bridge
transports.
- Publish validator-tested question, free-text, hire, and waiting
examples. Regenerate the runner API reference and capability inventory.
- Clarify direct authorization, material ambiguity, and correction of
confirmed pre-creation validation failures. Preserve uncertain-outcome
reconciliation, duplicate protection, and company approval gates.
- Align disposition instructions with agent permissions and the saved
human-input waiting path.

## Verification

- After rebasing onto current `master`: 69 targeted server tests, 110
queue/HTTP2 bridge tests, and 4 capability inventory tests passed. These
cover core skill defaults, version pins, actor restrictions, schema
access, published examples, hire validation, idempotency, and approval
gates. Waiting recovery tests and live question flows also passed before
the rebase.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed again after the rebase.
Frozen dependency installation and both generated capability checks
passed.
- Ran the full `pnpm test:run` suite. The initial run had 14 failed
server files due to local database resource limits, a missing built test
fixture, and socket failures. All 14 files passed after fixture repair
and isolated retries. UI, CLI, workspace packages, database tests, and
all 145 serialized server files passed.
- Real one-request hiring replay: one hire, one successful run, task
done in 2m16s. No repeated approval or recovery escalation.
- Real two-turn browser conversation: start with an unspecified hire,
then supply a name and friendly robot responsibilities. One
clarification card, one hire, two successful runs, task done in 3m27s of
execution. No failed writes, confirmation cards, or recovery actions.
- Assigned the hired robot a welcome-message task through the browser.
It produced a warm message under 100 words and finished in one
successful 66-second run, with no questions or recovery actions.
- The two-turn flow still asked an optional preferences question and
gave a technical final reply. These are remaining presentation limits.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `b71f83ba2`, with zero unresolved review threads.
Fixed its generator finding and passed 1,655 published-example/runtime
API tests plus server typecheck. All latest-head CI checks are green (32
passed; 2 unrelated Storybook checks skipped). The signoff-policy
browser test initially timed out while waiting for an approver run. Its
shard passed on one rerun without code changes. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34698211049).

## Risks

- Onboarding chiefs receive more default skills. Ordinary general agents
retain existing defaults, and explicit versions take precedence.
- Prompt guidance can affect model behavior. The live replays are
examples, not a guarantee that every model follows the guidance.
- Retry guidance applies only when validation confirms that nothing was
created. Uncertain outcomes still require checking existing agents.
- No database migration or new public endpoint. Existing company
boundaries, approval gates, and bounded recovery remain in force.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, model `gpt-6-astra`, with reasoning, tool use, code
editing, and live browser verification. The exact context-window size is
not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip ab15aff390 feat: add experimental persistent agent chat (#13284)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Conversations must use the same tasks, controls, and execution
history.
> - Users need an ongoing chat with an agent without managing task
properties.
> - Agents should clarify and plan work, then hand execution to assigned
project tasks.
> - This pull request combines the reviewed Agent Chat stack for one
squash merge.
> - The benefit is persistent conversation with normal task governance
and shared UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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 9031516a7e fix: recover legacy Daytona startup failures from task and inbox (#13272)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Legacy conversation adapters can run in Daytona sandboxes.
> - A server restart during provisioning can occur before the invocation
event exists.
> - Recovery then lacks the old adapter identity and leaves a hold that
ordinary user retries cannot clear.
> - A remote launch can also fail when its host relay looks for Node in
the sandbox PATH.
> - This pull request records the adapter at claim time and restores
explicit user continuation after verified cleanup.
> - Users can recover from the task or inbox while the failed run and
uncertain action history remain intact.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13237, #13239, #13254. Those changes cover recorded conversation
runs, native user continuation, and explicit remote Stop. This change
covers legacy failure before `adapter.invoke` and exact task/inbox
Retry.

Refs #9771 for overlapping generated-command quoting. This change also
supplies the absolute host Node executable. Refs #13163 and #13264 for
the separate native restart and retained-workspace work.

**What happened?**
A legacy Daytona run interrupted during provisioning became
`process_lost` without an invocation event. Recovery preserved an
execution hold, and Retry or a new task reply could not resume it.
Cleanup could also run before the Daytona plugin was ready. On a macOS
host, a subsequent ACP relay launch failed with `env: node: No such file
or directory` because the remote launch environment did not contain the
host Node path.

**Expected behavior**
An interrupted conversation can continue after its previous execution
stops. Explicit Retry and new user replies should start a fresh turn
with the task history. Cleanup failures must remain visible and
recoverable. The host relay must use the host Node executable.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a legacy Claude adapter with a Daytona environment.
2. Interrupt the server after it acquires the sandbox lease and before
it records `adapter.invoke`.
3. Restart and inspect the task hold.
4. Retry from the task or inbox, or send a new task reply.
5. Confirm the old sandbox has stopped and one new response arrives.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced from master at `3bafac12f796fbea02e609e1074a9639f872e9c4`.
The branch is rebased on `51b0e01ea`, including #13261 and #13270.

**Deployment mode**
Built from source on macOS with a real Daytona sandbox and the legacy
Claude ACP adapter.

## What Changed

- Count new browser specs with the scheduler's median duration in the
shard-balance check. This fixes a false policy failure after new specs
arrive from both branches. The balance threshold is unchanged.

- Persist server-owned adapter identity in the queued-to-running claim
before provisioning starts.
- Wait for provider plugin startup before restart cleanup. Keep failed
cleanup leases as active ownership blockers.
- Admit exact board retries and new user comments after verified
termination. Retain the old run, task history, approvals, and unknown
action outcomes.
- Adopt repeated Retry requests. Permit one scoped cleanup attempt per
explicit user Retry after the automatic limit, with an activity record.
A later user Retry can recover after a transient provider failure;
automatic attempts remain capped.
- Resume replies deferred during cleanup, including historical legacy
startup failures.
- Launch the host ACP relay through the absolute host Node executable.
- Add a task-level Retry button and return actionable blockers when
retry admission is refused.
- Add database regressions and three browser recovery journeys. Exclude
installed third-party dependency skills from the shipped-skill audit.

## Verification

- Current head: `d23c84181`, rebased on `51b0e01ea`. Conflict resolution
retains the saved-message recovery, local stop receipts, and wait
reasons from #13270 alongside exact legacy Retry support.
- Real Daytona: interrupted the server after lease acquisition and
before adapter invocation. Restart cleanup confirmed provider
termination. Task Retry cleared a seeded historical hold and a real
Claude agent returned `Recovery verified.` in the task. Removed the
disposable sandbox and environment after testing.
- All three browser recovery journeys passed again after the final
rebase. Task Retry, Inbox Retry, and a new reply each produced one fresh
successor, completed the task, preserved the failed run, and retained
the answer after reload.
- All 29 e2e/server shard-partition tests passed. The balance check now
uses the scheduler's median fallback for unmeasured specs, with the same
balance threshold.
- Server typecheck passed after rebuilding the generated runner
dependencies. The combined recovery/route run passed 136 of 137 tests.
Its remaining route test timed out during the first cold module import
at its explicit 10-second limit; an isolated rerun reproduced that
timeout and passed the other 51 route cases. The complete CI suite
passed on this head. The same route file passed all 52 cases in CI,
including the first cold import in 7.5 seconds.
- Before the final rebase, recursive typecheck, full build, UI token
gates, 132 targeted server tests, and the complete [CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34650004085)
passed. The subsequent CI failure was the shard-balance accounting
mismatch fixed here.
- Greptile reviewed `d23c84181` at 5/5 with no outstanding actionable
findings. The complete [current CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34653327949)
passed on attempt 2. All test, typecheck, build, and canary jobs passed
on the first attempt. Docker setup timed out fetching BuildKit from
Docker Hub; retrying that job and its dependent aggregate succeeded.

## Risks

- Recovery admission changes executable authority. Company, task, agent,
user, approvals, process ownership, and provider termination checks
remain required.
- Explicit continuation starts a fresh conversation with history. It
does not certify unknown external action outcomes or rerun
non-conversation adapters automatically.
- Changing task status alone does not clear an execution hold. The task
now offers an explicit Retry action.
- Historical adapter claims and invocation events take precedence over
current agent settings. Known process or webhook runs retain their hold.
Pre-upgrade rows with no adapter evidence may receive only a new
explicit user turn after termination proof; they do not become eligible
for automatic replay.
- No schema migration or sandbox-image change is required. This branch
has not been deployed to production.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, code execution,
browser automation, and test execution. The exact deployment model ID
and context window are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 2083bf6f9a feat(connections): add AgentMail inboxes and email tasks (#13256)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections give agents controlled access to external services.
> - Experimental channels already map conversations to tasks and durable
work queues.
> - Email needs inbox ownership, recipient envelopes, delivery records,
and explicit sends.
> - This pull request adds AgentMail to that infrastructure and keeps
the provider key in the server vault.
> - Agents can receive and send email from local or sandbox execution
while the board follows each conversation in its task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Agents need dedicated email addresses. Incoming email should become
assigned work. Internal task comments and progress must never become
outgoing email by accident.

**Proposed solution**

Add experimental AgentMail connections, an inbox assignment wizard,
durable email intake and publication, task email cards, and
authenticated API, CLI, and native runtime actions. Agents use Paperclip
credentials to request sends. Paperclip owns the provider key and
enforces access and task authority.

**Alternatives considered**

A general mailbox MCP connector does not provide durable task binding or
publication boundaries. A separate mailbox application duplicates task
collaboration. The board instead directs the agent through the normal
task conversation.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing experimental connections and task
infrastructure. Product scope and interaction design were reviewed with
the maintainer. Related connection authority work: #11831 and #11818.
The duplicate search found no competing task-based AgentMail
integration.

## What Changed

- Add AgentMail catalog data, shared contracts, company-scoped email
records, and an additive migration.
- Add vaulted setup, inbox assignment, access grants, trust guidance,
and provider-side allowlist guidance.
- Support WebSocket and signed-webhook intake through a shared durable
pipeline, deduplication, catch-up, and task wakeups.
- Queue explicit new conversations and replies with immutable send
intents, idempotency, delivery state, and uncertain-send resolution.
- Show inbound and outbound email cards in normal task conversations.
Keep internal messages internal.
- Add task-scoped CLI actions and the sandbox callback routes required
for Daytona execution.
- Provide a dedicated AgentMail skill automatically only to agents with
active authorized inbox assignments. Keep email instructions out of the
universal Paperclip skill.
- Advertise connector-owned `agentmail_inboxes`,
`agentmail_read_thread`, `agentmail_send`, and `agentmail_delivery`
tools only in eligible native sessions. Recheck live authority on
execution.
- Isolate Codex CLI connector skills by agent and skill revision.
Deliver the assigned skill in the run prompt for adapters that use
shared skill directories, including resumed turns. Keep automatic skills
out of manual persistent sync. Show them as read-only and document the
pattern in the connector playbook.
- Fix AgentMail health checks that entered local-stdio validation and
optional missing Codex credential cleanup in sandboxes.
- Add API, pipeline, authorization, sandbox, browser, and Storybook
coverage.

## Verification

- Live AgentMail testing covered WebSocket intake, signed webhooks,
restart catch-up, and a full receive → task → Daytona Codex CLI →
explicit reply → Delivered round trip. The reply was verified in the
other inbox. The normal task composer also initiated an outgoing email
child task.
- The connector-skill change was verified in the browser: AgentMail
appears once as an automatic, read-only skill with its assigned address.
Disabling experimental chat connections removes it; re-enabling restores
it. A regression test covers assignment data arriving after library
data.
- Connector regression coverage passed 178 runtime utility, email
integration, skill-route, and heartbeat tests. All 17 Codex execution
tests passed, including per-agent skill isolation, model identity,
revision changes, removal, and prompt delivery without shared skill
files.
- After rebasing onto master, all 44 focused email, heartbeat, and
native-authority tests passed. All 313 native-session executor tests
passed. The UI regression suite passed all 3 tests. These test sets
overlap earlier focused runs.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed after the rebase. Token
gates passed. Earlier focused Playwright task/setup coverage and the
Storybook build also passed.
- Native connector tool execution uses deterministic integration tests.
Live Daytona qualification used the Codex CLI adapter; the new
shared-home prompt fallback has deterministic coverage.
- The full repository suite is run by CI. The earlier unsharded local
full-suite attempt was stopped after the equivalent CI suites passed and
is not reported as a completed local run. Greptile reviewed
`7e57dc267a8446d3c906e3cc5b8abc94fb8860eb` at 5/5 with no unresolved
threads. All server, workspace, serialized server, and browser suites
passed in CI. The build job hit a five-second timeout in a runner
transport test; both variants and the full 80-test file passed locally
with unchanged timeouts. The build passed on retry on the same commit
without code or timeout changes. All required CI gates, including the
final `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` summaries, are green on
`7e57dc267a8446d3c906e3cc5b8abc94fb8860eb`.

## Risks

- Email from external senders can start normal agent work. Setup
recommends a low-trust agent and AgentMail sender controls. Sender
addresses never grant board membership.
- Provider timeouts can leave uncertain sends. Retries retain their
idempotency key; expired windows require reconciliation or operator
resolution.
- Connector skills and native tools are assignment-dependent and require
current access. Revocation denies retained calls; assignment changes
select a new runtime context.
- Activation remains behind the experimental-channel setting. The native
runner path has deterministic coverage; live Daytona qualification used
the Codex CLI adapter.
- Schema changes are additive. Inbox ownership is unique across
companies. Disconnect preserves provider inboxes and task history.

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). Used reasoning, repository tools, code execution,

Nicky LeachandPaperclip ad4f0b5867 Fix Codex API key authentication in tests and runs (#13260)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agent runtime settings can bind organization secrets to an adapter
environment
> - Paperclip redacts plain environment values when it returns a saved
agent to the UI
> - A saved-agent test sent the redacted `CODEX_HOME` value back to the
server
> - Codex ACP also received the API key without an ACP API-key
authentication request
> - This pull request restores saved environment values for tests and
selects API-key authentication for Codex ACP runs
> - The benefit is that Codex agents can test and run with an
organization-scoped OpenAI API key

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Testing a saved Codex agent sent `***REDACTED***` as `CODEX_HOME`.
Secret normalization rejected that placeholder. Remote Codex ACP runs
received `OPENAI_API_KEY`, but session creation stopped with
`Authentication required`.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must use the saved `CODEX_HOME` value when it tests an
existing agent. Codex ACP must select API-key authentication when
`OPENAI_API_KEY` is available.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an organization-scoped secret named `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
2. Give a Codex agent access to the secret.
3. Save the agent runtime settings.
4. Test the saved agent again.
5. Run the agent in a remote sandbox through ACP.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master before commit
`68c17709d7c051a804a416263e2e08920f1dfcb1`.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server with a remote sandbox environment.

**Installation method**

Built from source.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Codex.

## What Changed

- Send the saved agent ID with adapter environment tests.
- Restore redacted plain environment values from the saved agent before
test-time secret resolution.
- Select the Codex ACP `api-key` authentication method when
`OPENAI_API_KEY` is present.
- Add focused regression coverage for saved-agent tests and remote ACP
launch configuration.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-adapter-validation-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/lib/test-agent-setup.test.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`
- `git diff --check`

## Risks

- Low risk. The test route reads saved configuration only when the
request supplies a compatible agent ID and the caller can update that
agent.
- The Codex ACP change applies only when `OPENAI_API_KEY` exists and no
explicit `DEFAULT_AUTH_REQUEST` exists.
- There are no schema migrations or telemetry changes.

DottaandPaperclip b1efd65edc fix: continue interrupted task conversations with bounded retries (#13237)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their tasks.
> - A task can outlive a provider process or a server restart.
> - Legacy recovery treated unknown tool outcomes as a permanent
execution hold.
> - That hold could also reject a later user message.
> - A conversation turn can use prior history without replaying prior
tool calls.
> - This pull request lets supported conversation adapters continue
within the existing retry budget.
> - Users can send a new message after automatic attempts stop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A server restart could interrupt a local ACP run and leave its task
behind a permanent recovery hold. A later user message could be
cancelled before the provider answered. The immediate recovery path
could also create a successor outside the durable failure counter.

**Expected behavior**

Continue with a bounded new conversation turn. Preserve a compatible
provider session or use full task context when it is unavailable. Do not
replay recorded tools. When automatic attempts stop, allow a new user
request through the normal execution gates.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task with a local conversation adapter.
2. Restart the server while the provider is working.
3. Let the previous run become interrupted.
4. Send a follow-up message and observe the recovery hold on the old
behavior.

Related work: Refs #13075 for durable task recovery. Refs #12946 for
retry-limit and checkout-lock handling. This change routes conversation
recovery through the existing bounded scheduler.

## What Changed

- Mark supported local conversation failures for continuation. Keep
native-runner and non-conversation recovery rules.
- Carry an interruption notice into the next turn. Retain stopped ACP
session history even when a write outcome is unknown.
- Clear unavailable ACP sessions so the next bounded attempt can use
full task context.
- Route immediate failure recovery through the same durable scheduler as
process-loss recovery. Release only the predecessor checkout when its
retry takes ownership.
- Retire obsolete conversation holds using immutable run evidence, in
bounded batches with an activity record. Preserve outcome evidence and
do not wake historical tasks.
- Block actual admission and Resume while a predecessor process or
environment lease is still active. Keep the original interruption notice
after a rejected wake. Preserve the upstream blocked-wake waiting
contract: bounded retry planning can happen during cleanup, while
deferred messages and execution remain gated.
- Add subprocess and database regression tests. Update the execution
contract.
- Add the current thread-status field to the native recovery provider
fixture so its damaged-journal test reaches the intended boundary.
Tolerate an already-exited fixture process during test cleanup while
still asserting both processes terminate.

## Verification

- Workspace typecheck passed: `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Build passed: `pnpm build`.
- Module boundaries passed: `pnpm check:module-boundaries`.
- Focused tests passed: 293 recovery/session/dispatch tests, 66 retry
and response-gate tests, and 37 native-session tests. Some suites
overlap.
- Tests cover interrupted writes, missing sessions, concurrent retries,
restart persistence, pending questions and approvals, execution gates,
and historical holds.
- Built the Rust test executables with `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/paperclip-runner build:rust` for native-runner
verification.
- Full Vitest coverage verified locally using the repository’s general
and serialized shards, with focused reruns for failures and files not
reached after a shard stopped. The ownership-gate regression is fixed
and the complete affected server shard passes (1,390 tests). Local
parallel runs also hit temporary-directory, resource, and timing
failures; those suites pass with canonical temporary paths and
sequential reruns. No test timeouts were increased.
- Final merged-branch regression run: 577 tests pass across process
recovery, retry scheduling, liveness, durable chat, wake-queue
application/adapter, dispatch, continuation, native sessions, and task
chat. Earlier focused verification also passed 19 native control tests.
Token gates and whitespace validation pass.
- Browser verification passed all three ACP Stop/continue/pause
scenarios, including a rerun after merging the upstream waiting
behavior: `PAPERCLIP_E2E_PORT=3397 pnpm test:e2e
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. The interrupted-write case
verifies that follow-up completes without a repeated write.

- Final-head [CI run
34625037394](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34625037394)
passed on `06ac4bd9d150f8b209a96e5fd609c696958794a0`: all 31 reported
checks are green, including server/workspace suites, all browser shards,
native runner verification, build, typecheck, release dry run, and
aggregate gates. The two conditional Storybook checks were skipped.
Greptile reviewed this exact commit at 5/5; all review threads are
resolved.

## Risks

- A new model turn can choose to repeat an action. Paperclip does not
replay recorded tool calls and does not certify unknown action outcomes.
- Conversation adapters now stop after their retry budget instead of
requiring action reconciliation. Explicit Stop, pause, dependency,
approval, budget, and ownership gates remain in force.
- No schema migration or dependency changes. Historical holds are folded
without changing task status or waking work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and test execution. The session does not expose a more
specific model build ID or context-window size.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 87b3e5fc61 fix(adapter-utils): stage selected skills into the sandbox for a remote Claude ACP run (#13196)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A user selects skills for an agent, and the host materializes those
skills into a bundle the agent reads
> - An agent can run in a remote sandbox, where the host must stage
every file the agent needs
> - On the Agent Client Protocol lane the host built that bundle and
then named its host path in the prompt, but it never staged the bundle
into the sandbox
> - The agent therefore read a path that does not exist inside the
sandbox, and the run failed on the missing skill file
> - The command-line lane of the same adapter already stages a `skills`
asset and reads the in-sandbox directory back from the staged runtime
> - This pull request carries that proven pattern to the Agent Client
Protocol lane, so a selected skill reaches the agent in a remote run

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists for this change. The description follows.

**What happened?**

A remote run of the Claude adapter on the Agent Client Protocol lane
could not read any selected
skill. The host builds the skill bundle in its own state directory, then
writes that host path into
the prompt as `Skill root: <path>`. The remote seam of that lane staged
one asset only, the
configuration seed. It staged no skills asset, so no skill file crossed
into the sandbox. The agent
then tried to read the skill file at the host path, and the read failed
with a missing-file error.

**Expected behavior**

A remote run receives the skills the user selected, and the prompt names
the directory that holds
those skills inside the sandbox.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select one or more skills for an agent that uses the Claude adapter.
2. Start a run for that agent in a remote sandbox on the Agent Client
Protocol lane.
3. Ask the agent to read the skill file at the path the prompt names.
The file is not there.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

The Claude local adapter, on its Agent Client Protocol lane. The shared
engine in
`packages/adapter-utils` carries the prompt rewrite.

**Additional context**

The command-line lane of the same adapter already stages a `skills`
asset and remaps onto the staged
directory. This change reuses that mechanism instead of adding a new
transport. One other adapter
shows the same host-path shape on its own Agent Client Protocol lane.
That lane is tracked
separately and this pull request does not change it.

## What Changed

- Return the host skill bundle directory from the Claude skill runtime
step, and carry it through the
remote managed-home context to the staging seam. The value is null for a
non-Claude agent, for a
run that selects no skill, and for a run whose selected skills all fail
to materialize.
- Stage that bundle as a `skills` asset on the Claude Agent Client
Protocol remote seam, and only
  when the run selected a skill.
- **Stage that asset with `followSymlinks: false`.** The bundle holds an
owned copy of each selected
skill, and the copy step never copies a symbolic link at the root or at
any depth. So the bundle
contains no symbolic link, and staging has none to follow. Refusing to
follow one also stops a link
planted in the bundle directory after the copy from pulling an unrelated
host file into the sandbox.
A regression test walks the real adapter sources and pins the reviewed
`followSymlinks` value at
  every skills staging site, so a new or changed site fails the test.
- **Drop a skill whose staged copy has no usable `SKILL.md`** from the
prompt, the skill identity, the
command notes, and the bundle, and log which skill was dropped and why.
Without this, a skill whose
copy failed, or whose `SKILL.md` is a symbolic link the copy step skips,
stayed advertised in the
prompt while its file was absent — the same missing-file symptom this
change exists to fix.
- Rewrite the `Skill root:` prompt line, the skill identity, and the
command notes onto the
in-sandbox directory. The rewrite runs in the engine, after the
workspace placement returns the
staged runtime. A compatible session resume reuses the cached staged
runtime, so the rewrite runs
  on that path too.
- Keep the session fingerprint on the host-independent skill identity. A
change to the selected skill
set still invalidates a warm session, and the volatile sandbox path
stays out of the hash.
- A local run, and a run with no selected skill, keep their current
behaviour.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local
src/server/acp.test.ts` — 28 of 28
  pass.
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-utils
src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts
src/skills-staging-follow-symlinks.test.ts`
  — the new engine tests and the staging-site tests pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`, and the
same check on the adapter
  package — both exit 0.
- The end-to-end test drives the lane against a local sandbox stand-in.
It reads the skill root out
of the prompt the runtime received, and then opens the skill file at
that path. That is the
  reported symptom, proved closed.
- The new tests carry a sensitivity control. Restoring only the
production files to their previous
content fails 7 of the 9 new tests. The other 2 do not depend on
production code: one is a parser
  unit test for the source scanner.

## Risks

Low risk, and the change is a two-way door. A revert restores the
previous behaviour exactly.

- **Scope.** The change touches one adapter lane. It does not change the
local lane, and it does not
change any other adapter. No existing staging site changes its
`followSymlinks` value.
- **The staged bundle and the workspace.** The staged skills land under
the runtime directory inside
the workspace. The workspace restore excludes that whole runtime
directory, so the staged skills
never return to the host worktree. A test proves the exclusion end to
end.
- **Session reuse.** The rewritten path never enters the session
fingerprint, so it cannot invalidate
  a warm session, and a compatible resume applies the same staged path.
- **Direction of data.** Files move from the host into the sandbox only.
The change adds no path that
  writes sandbox content onto the host.
- **A dropped skill.** A skill with no usable `SKILL.md` is now absent
from the prompt instead of
named but unreadable. The run logs the skill and the reason, so the
cause is visible.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), with extended thinking and tool use,
through Paperclip agents.

## Test plan

- [x] `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local
src/server/acp.test.ts` passes — 28 tests.
- [x] `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-utils
src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts
src/skills-staging-follow-symlinks.test.ts` passes.
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit` exits
0.
- [x] All continuous-integration gates are green.
- [x] The automated review reports no open finding against the current
head.

**Note on the branch history.** This branch first carried a different
change: a filename-based admission filter that refused to stage files
such as `.env` from a skill directory, together with a switch from
symbolic-link bundles to copied bundles. That approach was rejected and
**reverted** on this branch. It does not match the documented trust
boundary, because the host already delivers credentials into the sandbox
on purpose, and replacing the symbolic-link bundles broke live editing
of a skill. The revert is in this branch's history. The file that work
changed, `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`, is byte-for-byte
identical to `master` here and is not part of this diff. Earlier review
findings that name that file target the reverted code. All of them are
resolved, and the automated review passes on the current head.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip d1ba17eeca fix(adapter-utils): fail fast when the sandbox control channel is lost mid-turn (#13158)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Adapter utilities run agent turns and report their results to the
control plane
> - A lost sandbox control channel can leave an agent turn without a
result
> - The host then waits for the full adapter timeout instead of
reporting the loss
> - This pull request adds a push loss signal and a bounded host wait
> - The benefit is a prompt failure terminal when the agent stops
answering

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A sandbox control channel loss during an Agent Client Protocol turn left
the host waiting for the four-hour adapter execution timeout.

**Expected behavior**

The host should detect the terminal channel loss, stop the turn, and
report a safe failure without waiting for the agent.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an Agent Client Protocol turn through a sandbox adapter.
2. Close the duplex control channel while the turn remains active.
3. Observe the host response before the adapter timeout expires.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Test the pull request commit set at
`10b6bbc5525a79fd575298607dd5a25ae448fc8a`.

**Deployment mode**

The change applies to sandbox-backed adapter execution.

## What Changed

- Add `onLoss(listener)` to the duplex bridge handle.
- Register the loss listener at turn start and read losses latched
before turn start.
- Cancel the turn on loss and arm a 30-second host deadline.
- Close the stream locally when the deadline wins and create a host
terminal.
- Derive the public error from the closed `DuplexLossReason` enum.
- Add tests for loss order, cancellation, timeout, and safe error
output.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "run-disposition seam"`.
- Confirm that the full pull request workflow passes.

## Risks

The new deadline changes a lost-channel path from a long wait to a
host-built failure after 30 seconds. Orderly completion keeps its
existing behavior. The deadline race against a pending `turn.result` has
no direct test.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The runtime does
not expose a more specific deployment version or 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

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).

DottaandPaperclip 018ca5daaf fix: verify ACP Stop and preserve safe continuation (#13119)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task controls coordinate provider execution and queued user
messages.
> - Stop could finish before an embedded ACP provider stopped its tools.
> - A later request could be held for reconciliation without a clear
task response.
> - A restored provider could also retain the stopped run's API
credential.
> - This pull request verifies provider termination and preserves safe
session continuation.
> - Operators can continue known-safe work and see why uncertain work
cannot start.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stop could leave an embedded ACP provider running. A queued follow-up
followed by “go” could fail before it reached the provider. Task chat
could show a generic missing-response message. Even a restored session
could use the previous run's credential and fail its task update.

**Expected behavior**

Stop waits for confirmed provider termination. A later explicit wake
continues the same compatible session only when recorded actions have
known outcomes. It carries pending comments and the current run's
environment. Uncertain actions retain a visible reconciliation hold.
Composer Stop preserves the existing pause rule: conversation can
continue while paused, but task work requires Resume.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an embedded ACP task.
2. Send a second request while the provider is running.
3. Interrupt the run, then send “go”. Also test composer Stop followed
by Resume work.
4. Check that the request is delivered once and that the provider can
complete the task through the current run's API credential.
5. Repeat with an unfinished write. Confirm that the write stops and
that further execution stays blocked with a visible reason.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Built from source on master at `3bc60dd8b` plus this branch.

**Deployment mode**

Local source build with an isolated embedded PostgreSQL instance.

Refs #11183. Refs #12552. Those changes address recovery after operator
cancellation. This change also covers embedded ACP termination, session
proof, pending-comment delivery, and task feedback.

## What Changed

- Propagate Stop into embedded ACP and wait for bounded adapter cleanup
and provider exit. Retain the actual ChildProcess object for forced
termination on all platforms; never signal a recycled numeric PID.
- Preserve interrupted checkpoints only for acknowledged, local,
persistent sessions with settled reads or no tools. Keep writes,
incomplete actions, and forced termination blocked.
- Restore the same compatible provider session with the current run's
environment. Reject fresh-session fallback for an interrupted
checkpoint.
- Adopt pending comments on the next explicit wake. Stop alone does not
dispatch them.
- Share the execution-blocker rule across dispatch, Resume, and task
detail. Show Stopped or Couldn't start with the recorded reason. Resolve
the stopped agent for the run link, including reviewer runs.
- Keep execution reconciliation holds intact when generic recovery sees
queued comments or healthy child tasks.
- Add process, service, component, and browser regression coverage. Fix
disposable database cleanup and React test settling exposed by the full
suite.

## Verification

- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm
check:token-gates`.
- Passed all three `acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts` browser journeys.
They use an actual ACP child process and require task completion through
the agent API.
- Passed 165 adapter execution, operator-stop, and child-process control
tests, 17 queued-comment route tests, and 65 tests in the two adjusted
UI suites. Earlier focused recovery, heartbeat, and task-control tests
also passed.
- Manually used the browser to queue a request, Stop, send “go” while
paused, and Resume. The same session answered once and moved the task to
Done with the current run's credential.
- Manually interrupted an unfinished write. Its file size stayed fixed
for five seconds. “Go” showed the reconciliation reason and did not
start another provider prompt.
- Separate live Claude ACP smoke checks confirmed that Stop ended a
disposable local write and that a no-tool interruption could resume the
exact provider session. The browser fixture does not call Drive or
another external app.
- Passed all 5,615 UI tests and 3,090 other workspace tests. The CLI and
general server groups pass with targeted retries: two transient server
failures passed together on retry, and two embedded-database startup
failures passed after removing abandoned shared-memory segments from
this task's completed browser fixtures. All 144 serialized server suites
completed, with 2,189 tests passing after two transient HTTP socket
failures passed on retry.
- Passed all 135 heartbeat process/recovery tests, including a
deterministic regression that failed before the recovery-sweep fix.
- Passed 18 dispatch integration tests, including stopped-reviewer
links, company boundaries, and malformed run IDs.
- Greptile is 5/5 on `7dd170d83`, with zero unresolved review threads.
The security scan and all required CI gates pass for the same commit.

## Risks

- Safe continuation depends on complete tool reporting and a restorable
local provider session. Unknown outcomes remain blocked and require
reconciliation.
- Provider cleanup can take time. A timeout does not grant replay
permission.
- The change adds optional adapter context fields and an optional issue
projection. It does not change the database schema or require a
migration.
- Test cleanup truncates company data only in a disposable test
database.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6, running as Codex with repository tools, code execution,
and browser interaction. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model deployment ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 3bc60dd8bf fix(adapters): probe Git context in the remote workspace (#13116)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote environments realize the workspace at a provider-owned path.
> - Run startup probes Git and network context before it starts the
agent.
> - The probe used the controller path inside the remote environment.
> - A missing directory stopped the run before any provider work began.
> - This pull request uses the remote execution target's working
directory.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13094, which introduced this probe. Related: #8997 and #10419
address other workspace-directory handoffs; this patch fixes the newer
Git-context probe.

**What happened?**

Remote runs failed with `setup_failed: Could not read execution-target
Git context`, including tasks that did not use Git. The provider shell
could not enter the controller's workspace directory.

**Expected behavior**

Startup must inspect Git and network context in the realized remote
workspace.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select a remote sandbox whose workspace is
`/home/daytona/paperclip-workspace`.
2. Start a task whose controller workspace is under
`/paperclip/instances/default/workspaces/`.
3. The startup probe exits when the controller directory does not exist
in the sandbox.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `622376e99` and in the regression test before this patch.

**Deployment mode**

Docker controller with a remote Daytona sandbox. The same helper also
serves SSH targets.

## What Changed

- Use `remote.remoteCwd` for the remote Git-context probe.
- Cover a missing controller directory in both credential modes.
- Verify that SSH reads Git metadata from the remote workspace even when
the caller directory exists.

## Verification

- Before the fix, both new missing-directory tests failed with the
reported error.
- The launcher environment suite passes: 18 tests.
- The adapter-utils suite passes: 1,085 passed, 11 skipped.
- Adapter-utils typecheck passes.
- A disposable sandbox with the affected deployment's image reproduced
the old `cd` failure and passed with the corrected helper. The sandbox
was deleted afterward.
- Full repository typecheck and build pass locally. All CI gates pass at
`61b522c`: regular test shards, serialized server suites, browser
shards, Runner verification, build, policy, and security checks.
- The first CI Build attempt hit a Runner suspension-acknowledgment
timeout outside the changed code. The affected 13-case recovery group
passes locally with its Rust fixtures built, and the unchanged CI job
passed on its single retry.
- The full serial local test run was stopped in favor of the complete CI
matrix; it is not claimed as a local pass.

## Risks

The probe now uses the provider-resolved target directory for sandbox
and SSH execution. Local execution keeps its existing directory. There
are no schema or API changes. Existing local credential and Git metadata
tests pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with tool-assisted code analysis, implementation,
and live and automated testing. The exact model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed by this session.

DottaandPaperclip 82f662656a fix(runner): restore legacy Git access and independent networking (#13094)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agents for people with different GitHub accounts.
> - Managed operations must use the intended person's eligible
connection.
> - A failed duplicate connection must not hide a healthy grant for the
same account.
> - Legacy hosts also need their existing Git configuration when managed
access is not configured.
> - Runner networking and local Git operations must not depend on GitHub
broker availability.
> - This pull request separates those policies and improves failure
diagnostics.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?** New runs always cleared host Git credentials and
installed managed launchers. Network permission depended on GitHub
environment variables. A launcher failure could stop even local `git
status`. A newer unhealthy duplicate could take precedence over a
healthy connection, and generic health errors were shown as reconnect
requirements.

**Expected behavior:** Use a healthy eligible managed connection for the
intended account. Preserve host authentication only for unconfigured
standard-trust local or SSH execution. Permit local Git during broker
failures and keep network permission independent of GitHub credentials.

**Steps to reproduce:** Configure healthy and unhealthy grants for one
GitHub account, dispatch an agent, and execute Git commands. Separately
run an unconfigured legacy host with existing GitHub CLI authentication.
Stop the broker and run local `git status`.

**Paperclip version or commit:** Master at 668110469. **Deployment
mode:** Self-hosted. **Installation method:** Git checkout. **Agent
adapters involved:** Native Codex runner and shared adapter execution
setup. **Database mode:** Existing instance database; no migration.
**Access context:** Responsible person's managed grant, or explicitly
unconfigured legacy host. **Node.js version:** 26.4.0 locally.
**Operating system:** macOS development and Linux execution hosts.

**Relevant logs or output:** Previously `GitHub credential context
unavailable` hid configuration, transport, and capability errors. New
diagnostics identify these categories without credential values.

**Additional context:** Refs #13005 and #13022. Dependency provisioning
is addressed separately in #13093.

## What Changed

- Prefer healthy eligible grants and retry credential acquisition once
for the same principal and account before starting an operation.
- Preserve host Git configuration only when managed access is
unconfigured on a standard-trust local or SSH target.
- Project authentication mode and validated Git metadata into native
runner boundaries; refresh resumed provider settings when modes change.
- Enable network access through an explicit standard-trust controller
decision, independently of GitHub. Omitted or restricted decisions stay
disabled; replace warm providers when that decision changes.
- Run local Git with cleared credentials when the managed broker fails,
with specific redacted diagnostics.
- Retry access-refresh conflicts once without treating concurrency as
expired authorization.
- Show retry instead of reconnect for transient GitHub health failures.
Add optional authorization and run-diagnostic fields without a database
migration.

## Verification

- All latest-head CI gates are green, including typecheck, general and
serialized suites, browser tests, canary, native runner verification,
and build. Greptile is 5/5 with no remaining findings; the security scan
passed.
- Full recursive typecheck and build passed. UI token gates passed.
- Full general server run: 7,110 passed, one transient socket hangup;
that file passed on retry. All remaining workspace groups passed,
including 5,552 UI and 478 CLI tests. The complete serialized rerun
passed all 144 suites / 2,179 tests after the initial isolated timeout
passed on retry.
- 195 final launcher and native session tests passed, including
host/managed transitions, local/remote warm network-policy changes,
broker rotation, and attempts to override validated controller
filesystem roots.
- GitHub gateway fallback, duplicate connection selection, refresh
conflicts, per-user reauthorization, and native transport/security
suites passed.
- Additional live native fixtures passed SSH public-key authentication
and a Git credential helper in fresh and resumed host-mode sessions. An
unwritable managed configuration directory preserved local Git (exit 0)
while GitHub CLI failed with `configuration_directory_unavailable` (exit
4). The temporary SSH listener and keys were removed.
- Applicable Rust suites passed except two timing failures under load;
each failed case passed in isolation. The final environment contract
test passed.
- Linux native runner acceptance passed in both managed and legacy host
modes: DNS, HTTPS, npm package download, fresh-worktree Git status,
authenticated GitHub user lookup, repository read, and a new run
continuing the same provider conversation. Managed broker outage
preserved local Git and rejected authenticated access without host
fallback.
- Matching Linux server/runner artifacts and the separate provisioning
repair are deployed to the development instance. A fresh UI-dispatched
task and a new run after a server restart both passed all six shell
checks through the live controller and credential broker. Both runs
selected the expected healthy connection/grant and retained the same
provider conversation. Neither connection was repaired or reconnected.

The sandbox roots are assigned from the validated execution-target probe
**after** ordinary bindings are merged. Regression coverage supplies
forged roots and verifies they cannot override the controller paths.
Networking is enabled only for an explicit
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_NETWORK_ACCESS=enabled` controller decision; omitted
values remain disabled.

## Risks

Unconfigured standard-trust local and SSH runs regain access to host Git
authentication resources. Managed, sandbox, plugin, and low-trust runs
do not gain this fallback. Revoked managed access never falls back to
another account. Deploy server and runner artifacts together;
already-started operations retain their captured identity. An
unauthenticated command can still fail when it requires GitHub access.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, shell execution, tests,
and browser inspection. The exact model variant and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 2043e0c735 fix: repair runner configuration, macOS execution, and artifact galleries (#13062)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent adapters select a provider, a model, and a runtime.
> - Runner conversion rejected existing Claude agents. The model list
mixed providers.
> - The native Claude runner rejected custom models and could not launch
on macOS.
> - This pull request fixes conversion, model selection, and verified
macOS execution.
> - It also groups configuration fields consistently across adapters and
opens artifact images in the task gallery.
> - Operators can change an agent configuration and run the selected
model on their Mac.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Converting an existing Claude agent to Paperclip Runner failed with a
Codex-only restriction. ACPX Claude showed unrelated models and required
`claude-sonnet-5`. Its native runtime rejected macOS. Configuration
mixed common model settings with process controls. Artifact cards
labeled “Open gallery” navigated to attachment URLs instead of opening
the task gallery.

**Expected behavior**

Conversion keeps agent identity and compatible settings. ACPX Claude
uses the normal Claude catalog and accepts typed model IDs. Codex uses
the native runner. The verified Claude runtime can launch on macOS ARM64
and x64. Common configuration sections place the same fields together
across adapters. Artifact images open in the shared task gallery with
navigation and downloads.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open the configuration of an existing Claude agent.
2. Convert it to Paperclip Runner.
3. Select ACPX Claude and a different catalog model or a typed model ID.
4. Save the agent and run a disposable task on macOS.
5. Inspect configuration and advanced run-policy controls across
adapters.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The bugs were reproduced on `165ca56a22adb60e5fda56045442d9c8498116a8`.
This branch was rebased onto `7ed122911`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Local test-drive instance on macOS ARM64 with an
isolated database.

Related work: #11798 addresses unsupported ACP session options in the
existing adapter path. #13048 addresses working-folder preservation.
This change fixes native runner configuration and launch behavior.

## What Changed

- Remove the Codex-only conversion restriction. Preserve agent identity,
instructions, directories, credentials, and compatible model settings.
Reset incompatible sessions while retaining history.
- Show ACPX Claude and native Codex as distinct provider choices. Remove
ACPX Codex from advertised configuration. Normalize legacy
configurations before fresh runs without rewriting historical run
descriptors.
- Select model catalogs and cache entries by provider. Support refresh
and typed model IDs. Pass exact Claude IDs through session creation,
model changes, and recovery.
- Add verified macOS ARM64 and x64 Claude SDK snapshots. Bound
executable allocation and total snapshot size. Preserve package checks,
dependency isolation, process ownership, cancellation, and Linux
descriptor loading.
- Probe local runtime readiness. Report remote platform checks as
incomplete until the remote runner verifies its runtime.
- Surface actual model rejection and allow correction and retry.
- Repair missing ACPX goal-capability helpers exposed by the post-rebase
live test. Persist and restore the optional capability without breaking
session startup.
- Put Agent identity first and intentionally remove the Capabilities
editor, as requested. This is removal of UI editing, not relocation:
preserve existing capability metadata and API compatibility without
adding another editor. Use the themed select for configurable permission
modes, with normal text instead of monospace.
- Put model and provider under Adapter. Give environment variables their
own section. Fold command and arguments under Configuration. Fold
lifecycle, timeout, and interrupt grace under Advanced Run Policy. Hide
single-option permission controls.

- Open image and video artifact cards in the existing task gallery,
including cards in the artifacts panel. Chat attachment images use the
same gallery. Preserve standalone media previews and download links.

## Verification

- Rebased focused UI/API/database suites: 293 tests passed.
- Rebased native runtime and ACPX suites: 242 passed, 7 skipped.
- Repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed for the runner
changes. Gallery follow-up UI typecheck, build, and token gates also
passed.
- Follow-up UI suites passed (86 tests), packaging checks passed (14
tests), and the final focused runtime suites passed (126 passed, 7
skipped).
- Linux container isolation and lifecycle fixtures passed before rebase
(57 passed, 2 skipped). Rust ACPX provider-session tests passed after
rebase (8 tests).
- Browser tests completed actual Claude and native Codex tasks on macOS
ARM64. They covered conversion, catalog refresh, a non-default catalog
model, a typed `haiku` ID, save/reload, cancel, follow-up session
continuity, invalid-model errors, and recovery.
- Final-revision live tests completed a typed Claude task, a follow-up
with the same provider session, and a native Codex task on macOS ARM64.
- Browser tests confirmed the moved interrupt-grace field saves and
survives reload. Cross-adapter tests cover Claude, Codex, Gemini,
process, gateway, and schema forms.
- Full local run: 7,080 passed, 30 skipped, and two timeouts. Both
timeout suites passed on isolated rerun (84 tests); the failures were
the plugin login-worker exit diagnostic and the runner real-server
vertical slice.
- Final follow-up checks: 50 registry tests and 45 snapshot/installation
tests passed (6 platform-specific skips). Oversized executable rejection
is covered before allocation or reading; unsupported-platform tests
invoke the real installation probe.
- Runner head `ddb5101c483a297f74875ab96b3c66035b002d50`: all CI gates
green, including full runner verification, repository build, typecheck,
general/serialized server suites, browser tests, and canary dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34286178670).
- Greptile: 5/5 on that runner head. All four review threads resolved.
Superagent, Socket, and Snyk checks green.
- After snapshot hardening, another real Claude task completed on this
Mac using the rebuilt runtime.

- Gallery follow-up: 148 focused tests passed, covering artifact
selection, shared attachment collections, deduplication, image/video
cards, standalone previews, downloads, and closing. Live browser
verification completed on the settings follow-up: artifact selection,
6-image pagination with wrapping, download action, and closing all
stayed on the same task URL. All checks passed on gallery head
`96136da58ff195bf6ca00b281eb3022ad12d7bd8`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34287987536).
Greptile returned 5/5 on that exact head with no unresolved threads.

- Final settings polish: 96 focused tests, UI typecheck/build, and token
gates passed. A real browser walkthrough verified readable permission
options, identity placement, Capabilities removal, and permission
save/reload. Original test-agent permission mode restored. All 31 checks
passed on final head `e46540d6bf32bfb0566dca16b2f4a75ba437618c`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34292797886).
Greptile returned 5/5 with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Capabilities intentionally has no editable UI field after this change.
Existing values remain readable and API-compatible; removing the field
does not erase stored metadata.

- macOS launch now copies verified package files into private snapshots.
The implementation must retain isolation and clean up snapshots on exit.
- Runtime provider or model changes reset the current session.
Historical runs remain available.
- The macOS x64 SDK executable digest was verified, but a live Intel Mac
run was not available. Linux verification used container fixtures, not a
real Claude task.
- Remote environment tests report a warning when only the platform has
been checked. They do not claim package readiness from the server host.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact served model identifier and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository inspection, code execution, Rust and TypeScript tests, and
browser automation.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6019e2bd6e feat(adapter-utils): carry binary bodies and attachment routes over the HTTP/2 sandbox bridge (#12923)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs agents in local and remote sandboxes through adapter
utilities
> - The HTTP/2 sandbox bridge decoded every body as UTF-8 text and
rejected non-JSON content
> - This stopped agents from uploading or downloading issue attachments
through that bridge
> - This pull request carries raw bytes, permits the two attachment
routes, and enforces a shared body limit
> - The benefit is correct attachment transfer with a process-wide
memory guard

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The HTTP/2 sandbox bridge forwards request bodies between an agent
sandbox and the Paperclip host. It now supports binary bodies and the
issue attachment routes.

**Current behavior**

The bridge decodes each body as UTF-8 text. It returns HTTP 415 for
content types outside the JSON route list. An agent cannot upload or
download an issue attachment through this transport.

**Proposed behavior**

The bridge carries raw bytes through the forward path. It permits the
attachment upload and content routes. The queue transport and file
gateway keep their existing route behavior. A shared 10 MiB body limit
and process-wide byte reservation protect memory use.

**Reason and benefit**

Attachment clients need byte-preserving transfer. The shared limit keeps
the gateway and host aligned. The reservation prevents concurrent
streams from exceeding the accepted process memory ceiling.

**Breaking changes**

The HTTP/2 bridge accepts two attachment routes and permits binary
content. The queue transport and file gateway keep their previous route
lists and HTTP 415 behavior. No schema or external endpoint changes.

## What Changed

- Carry request and response bodies as raw bytes through the HTTP/2
bridge.
- Permit attachment upload and attachment content routes on the HTTP/2
bridge only.
- Raise the resolved per-body limit to 10 MiB and share it between the
gateway and host.
- Reserve body bytes before allocation and release each stream
reservation on every terminal path.
- Document the body limit, process ceiling, and reservation behavior.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/http2-bridge-server.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts`; 226 tests
pass.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`; it passes.
- Run the direct server TypeScript check with `tsc --noEmit` in
`server/`; it passes with zero errors.
- Verify multipart upload and binary download round trips over HTTP/2
without corruption.
- Verify the queue transport and file gateway return HTTP 415 for the
same routes.
- Verify the host rejects bodies over the resolved limit.
- Verify a denied reservation returns HTTP 503 and allocates no copy.
- Verify stream cleanup releases reservations after completion, error,
abort, timeout, and close.

## Risks

The bridge now accepts larger bodies and binary content. The
process-wide reservation limits total live body bytes to 1 GiB. Route
behavior changes only for the HTTP/2 bridge. The security review found
no blocking issue for this commit range.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime used tool calls and code execution. The
runtime did not expose the context window size. No model-generated code
changes were made for this pull request.

DottaandPaperclip 3ad494aacd fix(adapter-utils): preserve legacy sandbox PATH with managed GitHub (#13051)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Remote agents need both their installed tools and managed GitHub
credentials.
> - The GitHub launcher replaces a missing remote PATH with a small
system path.
> - Legacy images install agent CLIs outside that path, so those agents
cannot start.
> - This pull request preserves the remote toolchain and puts managed
GitHub commands first.
> - Command checks now use the same environment as execution.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13005. Related: #10239 fixes a separate Cursor environment path
issue.
Searched open issues and PRs for sandbox PATH and GitHub launcher
changes. No duplicate of this launcher fix was found.

**What happened?**

A remote Claude or Codex run passes command discovery, then fails with
`command not found` and exit code 127. Managed GitHub launchers use only
their own directory and `/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin`. This drops NVM
and other toolchain directories from the sandbox path.

**Expected behavior**

Agent CLIs remain available on legacy and current sandbox images.
Managed `git` and `gh` still resolve first and use the responsible
person's credentials.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a sandbox whose agent CLI is installed in an NVM or other
non-system bin directory.
2. Start an agent run with managed GitHub launchers and no explicit PATH
override.
3. Observe that command discovery succeeds but the agent command exits
with code 127.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on `b97101893f0926f57ed0ce9ef1f8d3e4780c62c2`. The same
launcher behavior remains on the base commit `be6bb768b`.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted server with remote sandbox execution. The shared launcher also
supports SSH targets.

## What Changed

- Read the remote target's effective PATH when no remote override is
set. Do not copy an inherited controller PATH.
- Prepend the managed launcher directory and retain the combined path in
shell startup files.
- Stop startup if path discovery fails. Frame the response so login
banners cannot contaminate PATH.
- Pass the sanitized launch environment to sandbox command checks,
installation, and the second check.
- Add real shell tests for legacy and current CLI layouts, quoted paths,
managed GitHub command execution, explicit overrides, SSH, and failure
cases.
- Document the remote path contract.

## Verification

- Four focused adapter utility suites passed: 153 tests.
- The regression suite passed: 13 tests, including the Linux stdin
handling fix.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passed.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- The regression suite fails on the unchanged base revision (12
failures, 1 pass) and passes with this change (13 passes). The baseline
ran in an isolated scratch copy.
- Full local test coverage was attempted using the official CI shards.
The run was stopped after macOS Postgres shared-memory exhaustion and
CLI timeouts under load. The affected server database suite passed in
isolation (31 tests), as did the five affected DB/CLI suites (89 tests).
- [Full Linux
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34258333833)
passed on `4e1426f5b`: all general and serialized test shards, all
browser shards, typecheck and release registry checks, native runner
verification, application build, and release canary dry run.
- Greptile scored the latest commit 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- Shell tests use isolated local fixtures and make no provider or model
requests. No live sandbox qualification is claimed.

## Risks

- Remote startup adds one bounded path query when no explicit override
exists. A failed query stops startup.
- Explicit remote path overrides still control which tools are
available. Invalid overrides now fail the command check earlier.
- Credential selection and GitHub broker policy are unchanged. Tests
verify managed wrappers stay first and can invoke underlying commands.
- No database migration or sandbox image replacement is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, and
terminal tools. The exact serving model ID and context-window size are
not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 297d8741f5 fix: resolve duplicate connections to the same GitHub account (#13022)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people share agents while keeping GitHub access
personal.
> - Each managed Git or GitHub operation selects an eligible connection
grant.
> - Connecting the same GitHub account twice creates two grants.
> - The old resolver counted grants and rejected them as competing
identities.
> - Managed commands then ran anonymously and reported a misleading
login failure.
> - This change compares GitHub account IDs and selects one eligible
grant for the same account.
> - The benefit is reliable access after reconnecting, with clear
diagnostics for real failures.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13005.

**What happened?**

Two active connections owned by one Paperclip user pointed to the same
GitHub account. Managed Git refused both as ambiguous. The agent could
not push, although the account was connected and had repository access.

**Expected behavior**

Multiple grants for the same GitHub account resolve to one eligible
authorization. Different accounts remain ambiguous. Unavailable access
explains its cause without blocking unrelated work.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Connect the same GitHub account twice for one Paperclip user and
allow the shared agent through both connection audiences.
2. Start an instruction as that user.
3. Run managed gh or git push. Before this fix, no credential is
provided.

## What Changed

- Compare stable GitHub account IDs when more than one eligible grant
exists. Never deduplicate by login alone.
- Prefer an available grant, then the newest authorization with a stable
ID tie-breaker. Refresh and webhook timestamps do not change the
selection.
- Keep the selected credential and connection policy together. Do not
combine permissions or fall back from a dedicated account to a personal
account.
- Print the redacted unavailable reason in managed command output.
Unrelated local operations still work anonymously.
- Add database and executable launcher regressions, and document
selection behavior.

## Verification

- Final `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- Fourteen operation credential integration tests passed, covering
duplicate personal/dedicated grants, incomplete credentials, distinct
accounts with the same login, missing identity metadata, revocation,
membership, connection audiences, and A → B → A steering. Existing Git
credential and gateway suites and both executable launcher tests also
passed.
- The local broad test run encountered three embedded-Postgres lifecycle
timeouts and stale modules from edits made during that run. A fresh
process rerun of all four affected suites passed all 35 tests. The full
Node 24 CI test matrix passed on the final commit.
- CI passed all 31 checks on `797973b30beb16ba5fa69ed281835e1ab812b449`
(Storybook visual regression was correctly skipped). An unrelated
Company Settings UI test failed once; the focused local reproduction and
rerun of its CI shard both passed without code changes.
- Fresh Greptile review of the final commit: 5/5, with no open findings.
Security checks passed.
- Live acceptance passed with both duplicate connections enabled:
managed `gh api user` returned the expected account, managed `git push`
succeeded, and the agent created #13023 and pushed its review fixes. No
host login or credential changes were used.
- Applied the final source/compiled patch to the affected instance with
backups, after confirming no runs were active. Restarted service health
and the final resolver selection were verified. The patch is an overlay
on the existing deployment; this PR supplies the upstream fix.

## Risks

The resolver selects one authorization for an already permitted GitHub
account. It does not combine repository permissions across connections.
If the selected authorization has narrower access, that operation can
still be denied by GitHub. Different provider account IDs and unknown
duplicate identities continue to fail closed. No schema, host
credential, or connection permission changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation and verification with
shell, database, and browser tools. The exact model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 1cc45086d3 feat: use the responsible person's GitHub for shared agent operations (#13005)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Several people can send instructions to the same agent and task.
> - A fixed GitHub token in the provider process can keep the first
person's access after another person's message is accepted.
> - Task ownership cannot select credentials for each accepted
instruction or preserve the identity of an operation already in
progress.
> - This pull request records ordered execution identity contexts and
resolves credentials when managed Git, gh, or GitHub tools start.
> - The benefit is automatic personal GitHub access for shared agents,
with durable continuation rules and no teammate credential fallback.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: orchestration, connection grants, database, runtime
adapters, native runners, and run details.

**Problem or motivation**

A shared agent must use the person whose instructions it has accepted. A
queued message must retain its author. A retry or approval without new
instructions must retain the originating identity. GitHub must remain
optional for ordinary work.

**Proposed solution**

Persist execution identity separately from task ownership. Give new
processes a run-scoped broker capability and token-free managed
launchers. Capture identity at operation start. Keep an explicit
dedicated-agent grant as an override. Show redacted diagnostics in run
details.

**Alternatives considered**

Per-task ownership, fixed provider tokens, and mutable repository author
configuration do not handle accepted steering or concurrent operations.
A manual account-selection action would add unnecessary setup to each
turn.

**Roadmap alignment**

This completes the existing Multiple Human Users, MCP Tool Gateway &
Apps, Secrets Manager, and Self-healing Runs capabilities. The
implementation follows the maintainer-approved plan.

Related work: Refs #12843, Refs #12907. Existing proposals #4618 and
#8945 cover per-agent or per-worktree author configuration. This change
instead follows the accepted human instruction across runtime types.
Refs #11831 for governed personal connection delegation; this change
preserves connection audience checks and does not use standing
delegation as a personal credential fallback.

## What Changed

- Add durable, ordered identity contexts and active run references.
Preserve message authors through consolidation, steering, retries,
delegation, approvals, routines, and restart.
- Add an authenticated operation-time GitHub credential broker and
local/remote managed git and gh launchers. Keep personal tokens out of
the long-lived provider process.
- Resolve GitHub gateway and server-side Git operations through the same
responsible-person or dedicated-grant selection rules.
- Make absent and unavailable GitHub credentials non-blocking at generic
startup. Clear host and prior-person credentials. Keep anonymous Git
access where supported.
- Add run-detail identity history and the dedicated-account warning.
Keep task ownership and queue-versus-steer decisions unchanged.
- Preserve personal OAuth declarations through connection edits. Retain
exact selected grants in the gateway.
- Fix continuation races found during real acceptance: verify a warm
owner before credential rotation, and wait for bounded durable runner
suspension before the next run starts.
- Make migrations replay-safe. Retain identity through agent/run
deletion, remove it with its company, and clean terminal launcher
directories before releasing execution environments. Document
coordinated release and rollback.

## Verification

- Full workspace typecheck, build, and token gates passed. The complete
local suite passed in its normal test groups: 17,120 passing tests,
including all 143 serialized server suites. After integrating the newly
merged runner API work, full local typecheck and build passed again,
along with 890 focused integration tests. All 31 checks on the
integrated revision passed, including build, browser E2E, release
registry, canary dry run, typecheck, security and all test suites.
Greptile is 5/5 with all review threads resolved.
- Current focused checks passed: 142 native executor tests, 67 runtime
lifecycle tests, 9 durable identity tests, 75 credential/routine tests,
19 low-trust/resumption tests, and the executable migration replay test.
- Authenticated browser acceptance with two Paperclip users and two
GitHub accounts on one shared native agent passed. Real commits and
pushes followed A → B accepted steering → queued A continuation in the
same saved conversation. GitHub commit author and committer identities
matched all three operations. Both runs succeeded and task ownership
stayed unchanged.
- Real GitHub MCP calls switched from A to B after accepted steering. A
delegated subtask retained its originating identity across a server
restart.
- Disabling B's GitHub connection left ordinary work successful. Managed
gh was unauthenticated and the provider had no inherited GH_TOKEN or
GITHUB_TOKEN.
- The browser displayed run-detail diagnostics and the exact
dedicated-account warning. A final controller-restart check followed by
another-person continuation retained the conversation, selected the
correct GitHub login and Git author, and removed each terminal launcher
directory.
- Company-lifetime migration and all five previously failing CI suites
passed locally (167 tests). Same-token gateway A → B → A and six
broker/launcher boundary tests passed.
- Remote callback, launcher, sandbox, and runtime contract tests passed.
Both native and legacy Codex completed actual Daytona executions on the
integrated revision ([campaign
results](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34155056509)).
The remote package-manager shim staging regression also passed locally.

## Risks

- Deploy the migrations, server broker, launchers, and runner artifacts
together. Existing processes finish with their original contract. New
managed processes need the broker endpoint for GitHub operations.
- Finish or stop new managed executions before rolling application code
back. Keep the additive schema and identity history during rollback.
- Scripts that require a persistent raw GH_TOKEN must use managed git,
gh, or GitHub gateway tools. Run capabilities authorize code executing
within that run to acquire its current identity; this is not
hostile-code isolation within one execution principal. Managed commands
prevent automatic credential carryover; arbitrary code deliberately
copying a credential is outside that boundary.
- Uncertain steering acknowledgement deliberately holds new credential
acquisition until reconciliation. Already-started operations retain
their captured identity.
- GitHub private access and provider outages can still fail the specific
operation that needs them. Dedicated grant failure does not fall back to
personal access.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation, review, shell
execution, and browser acceptance. The exact model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Tool use included

Dotta 1dceee9a4e fix(runner): persist warm Daytona workspaces (#12901)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agent work and the execution state for each
task.
> - Remote agents run in sandbox environments such as Daytona.
> - Daytona keeps files while a sandbox is stopped, but deletion removes
those files.
> - Runner Codex did not copy successful remote workspace changes back
to the host workspace.
> - A warm sandbox could therefore hide data loss until Daytona replaced
or deleted the sandbox.
> - This pull request makes the host workspace durable after every
successful turn and keeps verified reusable sandboxes warm.
> - The benefit is reliable multi-turn work across warm reuse, restart,
stop, and sandbox replacement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A successful native Codex turn in Daytona could leave workspace changes
only in the remote sandbox. A later warm turn appeared to work because
it reused that filesystem. A replacement sandbox could start from stale
host data and lose the successful changes.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must merge each successful remote turn into the authoritative
host workspace before it completes the run. A verified warm lease may
reuse its remote files. A replacement lease must reconstruct the exact
durable workspace seed.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run Codex in a reusable Daytona environment.
2. Write a file during one successful turn.
3. Replace the Daytona sandbox before the next turn.
4. Observe that the next turn can start without the prior file on the
unpatched code.

Related remote workspace foundation: #10070.

## What Changed

- Added explicit `host_current`, `durable_seed`, and `adopt_remote`
workspace preparation modes.
- Added atomic, versioned native workspace descriptors and seed archives
under `PAPERCLIP_HOME`.
- Added real native sandbox export and three-way host merge before
terminal result completion.
- Added workspace-only recovery after a proposed result. Recovery does
not submit another provider turn or consume the provider retry budget.
- Added fail-closed handling when a sandbox with unexported changes is
gone.
- Kept healthy reusable Daytona sandboxes started for legacy Codex and
Runner Codex.
- Kept the Runner Codex process and provider session across verified
warm turns.
- Added the paid `daytona-warm-continuity` browser suite. It contains
exactly the legacy Codex and Runner Codex cells. Each cell performs
three measured turns.
- Documented `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --suite daytona-warm-continuity`.
No package script was added.
- Added no database migration. The metadata format is backward
compatible and idempotent.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` — 114 passed
- Native workspace, finalizer, session, and environment tests — 232
passed
- Daytona provider tests — 150 passed
- Workspace staging and merge tests — 98 passed
- Runner transport tests — 63 passed
- Legacy Codex restore tests — 5 passed
- Rust format and compile checks pass through root typecheck
- The paid Daytona suite was not run locally because the required
Daytona, OpenAI, and immutable image credentials are not present.

## Risks

- The main risk is an incorrect workspace identity or merge after a
crash. Durable descriptors bind the run, workspace, lease, provider
lease, local root, remote root, and baseline digest. Ambiguous evidence
fails closed.
- The host merge may conflict with concurrent host edits. The existing
three-way merge and exclusion rules handle this case and surface
failures.
- A deleted sandbox cannot recover unexported bytes. Paperclip now
blocks with `workspace_sync_out_unrecoverable` instead of reporting
success or rerunning the provider.
- There is no database migration. Descriptor writes and recovery are
atomic and idempotent.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The run used agentic reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, test execution, Git, and GitHub CLI tools.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the embedded database.

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

Dotta fdf8c8464d feat(runner): add managed provider backends (#12699)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner provides durable, provider-neutral agent
execution.
> - The current stack supports qualified local providers but omits the
managed provider paths from the integration branch.
> - Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore need explicit profile
qualification, durable recovery, usage accounting, and cleanup controls.
> - This pull request adds those managed backends as the third part of
the Runner parity stack.
> - The benefit is managed execution without weakening the default-off
Runner rollout gate.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: Runner, server orchestration, database profiles, CLI, and
adapter configuration UI.

**Problem or motivation**

The current Runner stack cannot select or execute the managed Claude
Agents API or AWS Bedrock AgentCore Harness backends. It also lacks
qualified profile storage and recovery checks for those remote
resources.

**Proposed solution**

Add qualified managed and remote profiles, API and CLI management, exact
provider selection, durable lifecycle handling, cumulative usage
accounting, bounded cleanup, and retention acknowledgement. Keep
`enableNativeRunner` default-off.

**Alternatives considered**

A direct copy of the old integration branch was rejected because its
provider contracts, model values, credential flow, and migration history
no longer match the current base. A single large parity pull request was
also rejected because stacked review keeps each subsystem bounded.

**Roadmap alignment**

This continues the existing Runner architecture and rollout work. It
does not introduce a separate execution system.

**Additional context**

This pull request is based on the merged #12691 and #12685 stack. It
also closes the delayed security-review findings reported on #12691 by
binding qualified ACPX and OpenCode launch artifacts to the bytes
actually executed. A GitHub search for managed agent, AgentCore, and
Claude managed work found no duplicate public issue or pull request.

## What Changed

- Add Claude Managed Agents and AWS AgentCore provider executors to
runnerd.
- Add qualified managed and remote profile storage, routes, OpenAPI
contracts, CLI commands, and migration 0237.
- Validate profile ownership, enabled state, exact qualified revision,
model, agent version, and secret binding before persistence and
recovery.
- Persist durable provider session and owned skill state for
restart-safe cleanup.
- Reconcile uncertain create responses and delete remote sessions before
owned skills.
- Track cumulative provider usage and enforce positive session spend
caps.
- Recover interrupted AgentCore usage at the next turn boundary by
charging the prior invocation ceiling exactly once; keep the session
gated until an explicit monotonic budget raise.
- Isolate AgentCore AWS configuration from host profiles and
credential-process/SSO configuration while preserving workload identity.
- Require OpenCode 1.18.17 and fixed build-owned provider-pack artifact
paths; remove the ambient executable override.
- Snapshot and content-verify ACPX and OpenCode commands, scripts, and
provider executables before launch. Linux executes sealed inherited
descriptors; macOS uses authenticated private snapshots with retry-safe
rematerialization at the spawn boundary.
- Persist canonical ACPX and OpenCode launch-profile digests, reject
drift across fresh recovery, and make recovery failures sticky.
- Close and journal unsafe ACPX active-turn recovery before any provider
bootstrap or reconnect.
- Add managed provider fields to the Runner configuration UI and
permission projection.
- Preserve the default-off `enableNativeRunner` experimental flag.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Focused managed server, database, CLI, Runner TypeScript, Rust,
Claude, AgentCore, ACPX, OpenCode, process-supervisor, and
durable-recovery tests passed.
- `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core --lib --locked` (160 tests)
- `cargo check --workspace --all-targets --locked`
- Native Codex integration tests passed (60 tests); native provider
tests passed (7 tests); server native-runtime tests passed (87 tests).
- Verified-launch replacement, nested-spawn retry, exact-version,
profile-drift, sticky-failure, and no-bootstrap active-recovery tests
passed.
- `git diff --check`
- The PR changes 91 files. `pnpm-lock.yaml` is unchanged. The Rust
workspace lockfile adds the approved `rustix` dependency used for safe
descriptor handling while `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` remains enabled.

## Risks

- The provider APIs can change while they are in beta. Exact
qualification and fail-closed recovery checks limit drift.
- Remote cleanup can fail after a partial create. Durable ownership
inventories and retry-safe deletion preserve recovery state.
- Migration 0237 adds profile tables. The generated migration and
snapshot pass the repository migration checks.
- Managed execution can incur provider cost. Positive default spend caps
and explicit retention acknowledgement limit accidental use.
- An interrupted AgentCore invocation without final metadata is
conservatively charged to its active session ceiling. This can overstate
cost, but cannot undercount it; later work requires an explicit budget
increase.
- Linux qualified launches use sealed memory descriptors. macOS lacks
executable-descriptor APIs, so the runner uses owner-only private
snapshots and minimizes linked-path lifetime; hostile same-UID processes
remain outside the documented local-host trust boundary.
- The global Runner feature remains default-off.

DottaandPaperclip 4b6de5327e Remove cheap model profiles (#12683)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents that use different model providers and
adapters.
> - Paperclip must keep agent execution rules clear and predictable.
> - The cheap-model profile added a second execution mode across
adapters, task recovery, APIs, and the UI.
> - That mode increased configuration and recovery complexity.
> - This pull request removes the cheap-model profile as a product
feature.
> - The benefit is one model-selection path for normal work and recovery
work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This change simplifies model selection across agent configuration, task
execution, recovery, and adapter capabilities.

**Current behavior**

Paperclip exposes cheap-model profiles in adapter metadata, agent
runtime configuration, task overrides, recovery rules, APIs, and the
board UI. Recovery work can select a different model profile from the
agent's configured model.

**Proposed behavior**

Paperclip uses the agent's configured model for normal work and recovery
work. Status-only recovery stays limited to coordination work. The API
rejects legacy model-profile configuration. A migration removes stored
model-profile values from existing agent, issue, and historical revision
records.

**Reason and benefit**

One model path reduces configuration, API, UI, and recovery complexity.
It also prevents status recovery from becoming a separate product-level
model-routing feature.

**Breaking changes**

This change removes model-profile fields and adapter capability
metadata. Existing stored model-profile values are removed by an
idempotent migration. The validators reject new legacy profile values
with clear errors.

## What Changed

- Removed model-profile types, adapter capabilities, API fields, and
model selection logic.
- Removed cheap-model controls from agent and task UI surfaces.
- Kept status-only recovery limited to coordination context while normal
continuations use the configured agent model.
- Added an idempotent migration that removes stored model-profile values
from agents, issues, and configuration revisions without changing issue
update timestamps.
- Updated tests and product documentation for the single-model behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,607 passing tests and 8
environment-sensitive failures in unrelated fixed-port and
database-deadlock suites. The same failures repeated in an isolated
rerun. CI is the final clean-room result.

## Risks

- This is an intentional breaking change for clients that send
model-profile fields.
- The migration changes legacy agent, issue, and configuration-revision
JSON. It is idempotent and preserves unrelated fields and issue update
timestamps.
- The change is cross-cutting because the removed feature existed in
adapters, shared contracts, the server, plugins, and the UI.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap

runtime did not expose the context-window size.

Dotta ee2a190626 Unify Paperclip Runner experimental controls (#12666)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Runner is an experimental execution adapter.
> - The adapter and its required sandbox ingress had separate settings.
> - A user could enable one setting and still have an unusable runner
configuration.
> - The runtime already makes one durable native or legacy decision for
each run.
> - This pull request uses that runtime decision for ingress
authorization.
> - The benefit is one clear opt-in with safe recovery for existing
native runs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the experimental settings and transport authorization for
Paperclip Runner.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change affects the React settings UI, shared
settings contracts, adapter utilities, and server runtime selection.

**Current behavior**

Settings shows separate Paperclip Runner and Runner Preview Ingress
controls. A user can enable the runner but leave required sandbox
ingress disabled.

**Proposed behavior**

Settings shows only Paperclip Runner. Its native runtime decision also
authorizes provider WebSocket ingress when the execution target requires
it. A persisted native run keeps its recovery transport after the
setting is disabled.

**Reason and benefit**

Paperclip Runner is one experimental capability. One opt-in removes an
invalid partial configuration and makes the rollout boundary easier to
understand.

**Breaking changes**

The Runner Preview Ingress card is removed. The old
`enableRunnerPreviewIngress` key remains accepted in stored settings and
managed configuration, but it has no server runtime effect. The public
adapter-utils input remains compatible through a deprecated alias.

**Additional context**

Refs: #12638, #12641, #12656.

## What Changed

- Removed the separate Runner Preview Ingress card from Experimental
Settings.
- Made resolved native runtime selection authorize required provider
ingress.
- Preserved ingress recovery for persisted native runs after the rollout
flag is disabled.
- Kept the old settings key and adapter-utils input as deprecated
compatibility contracts.
- Added focused UI, runtime policy, transport, stored-settings, and
managed-config regression tests.
- Updated deployment documentation and feature descriptions.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run typecheck, tests, build, policy, and browser
shards.
- Focused tests cover the single settings control, runtime
authorization, fail-closed transport selection, the deprecated public
input, and old managed configuration.
- No local tests were run, per the maintainer request to use GitHub
Actions for verification.
- `git diff --check` passes.

## Risks

Low to moderate risk. The effective ingress gate changes from a separate
stored flag to the resolved native run decision. Fresh runs still
require `enableNativeRunner`. Persisted native runs remain recoverable.
Legacy adapters never receive ingress authorization.
