DottaandPaperclip 30b753f614 perf(budgets): scope accounting and deliver enforcement asynchronously (#17046)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their paid work.
> - Budgets must prevent new work and stop reported overruns.
> - Cost settlement also ran serial lifecycle reconciliation for every
eligible company agent.
> - That made request latency grow with unrelated idle agents and
delayed results on stop delivery.
> - This change separates atomic admission and accounting from durable
asynchronous enforcement.
> - Scoped live usage detects overruns without writing provisional
ledger charges.
> - The result is constant query scope for ordinary settlement and
recoverable stop delivery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Settlement and budget checks entered company-wide lifecycle
reconciliation. A company with 1,000 unrelated idle agents performed
1,001 accounting transactions for one ordinary cost evaluation. User
requests could also wait for provider termination. Running usage
checkpoints did not enforce reported monetary exposure.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the final reservation gate authoritative. Commit charges, scope
blocks, and enforcement intent before returning. Deliver stop requests
after commit. Read only applicable policies and execution scopes for
ordinary charges. Stop long-running work when supported reported or
priced usage establishes an overrun.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a disposable company with one company budget and idle agents.
2. Evaluate a charge below the budget with 0, 17, and 1,000 unrelated
idle agents.
3. Compare query counts, company accounting transactions, and duration.
4. Use the controlled partial-usage and delayed-stop fixtures to check
enforcement and request responsiveness.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The measured baseline is `6c9b87d0922f1ebfc43e8b0c36889ac5ba7b9837` from
`master`.

Related public work: Refs #16976, #2006, #3539, #13763, #14296, #16853,
#13075. These cover the affected service charge, cancellation, and
accounting paths. This change removes their shared reconciliation
overhead.

## What Changed

- Batch applicable policy exposure under the existing company accounting
lock. Preserve exact fractional money and zero-reservation dispatch
fences.
- Commit a durable final budget dispatch claim before provider I/O.
Retain a separate final issue/run ownership transaction through
synchronous handoff, without holding the company accounting lock or
awaiting provider work. Preserve native recovery lease checks and
duplicate handoff fencing. Browser handoff rechecks current policy; it
reuses a consumed rate slot only for the identical policy generation.
- Separate ledger spend, live observed spend, and effective held
capacity. Use the maximum of reservation and live observation for each
unfinished operation.
- Deliver budget cancellation through the existing coordinator.
Revalidate generations and persist queued/running stop fences before
external termination. Bound stop concurrency to four.
- Apply agent holds only to the affected agent. Project budgets leave
other projects running. Project real company transitions in bounded
lifecycle batches.
- Replace periodic broad reconciliation with durable pending work,
startup repair, receipt replay, and concrete retry/window deadlines.
Retain drain and idle-safety checks.
- Enforce accepted cumulative usage checkpoints without provisional
charges. Final accounting atomically replaces live exposure and settles
reservations.
- Add operator-gated budget spans, regression coverage, map updates, and
a real-PostgreSQL comparison harness. No schema or first-party telemetry
change.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passes on the final ownership fix,
rebased onto `bbcf5dfe98`. Production `pnpm build` passes on final head
`4c5f4de8b1`. Map, module-boundary, token, and Storybook catalog checks
pass.
- Focused real-PostgreSQL coverage includes the 292-case rebased
accounting/dispatch run, 63 browser cases, 52 run-control/cancellation
cases, 42 policy-generation cases, 77 lifecycle/commentary cases, and
the exact Muse confirmation regression. Native executor unit coverage
passes all 768 cases. Final ownership coverage passes: 74
adapter/use-case cases, nine public regression cases, and the additional
deleted-project race. These exercise competing ownership, budget changes
and charges between phases, zero/nonzero duplicate claims, rollback,
recovery contention, read-only capacity rechecks, and controlled HTTP
startup after commit. Another 74 pure/startup/tracing cases pass. The
complete CI matrix and both 5/5 reviews passed on `1ac9b58`; its
external security scan identified a stale-owner handoff race. The final
fix restores synchronous issue/run ownership fencing after the
accounting transaction commits. Final head `8e84f55ce8` has fresh
Greptile 5/5 with zero new comments, Paperclip review 5/5, and a passing
security scan. The complete latest-head [CI
matrix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39535189808)
passes, including budget, browser, Runner, build, and canary jobs. The
unchanged Runner close fixture passed on its sole same-head job retry.
- Broad local `pnpm test:run` invocations were stopped before required
source updates (rebase and review fixes). They are not claimed as full
passes. Final full-suite coverage comes from the complete latest-head CI
matrix; local focused coverage and the incomplete broad invocations are
reported separately.
- Reproduce performance with `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-budget-enforcement.ts
--baseline-ref=6c9b87d0922f1ebfc43e8b0c36889ac5ba7b9837`; repeat with
`--reverse`. The harness uses disposable real PostgreSQL, 20 warm
samples per variant/count, and records raw timings, SQL/lock counts,
agent reads, unchanged agent state, and query plans. Final
production-source measurement revision:
`eff713a4f72c7f4b7a4002a701cb481d4bfccd95`; the extended harness is
committed in `4c5f4de8b1`.

| Unrelated idle agents | Baseline median / p95 | New median / p95 |
Baseline SQL / locks | New SQL / locks | New agent reads |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 0 | 1.80 / 2.33 ms | 2.99 / 3.88 ms | 5 / 1 | 7 / 1 | 0 |
| 17 | 15.53 / 19.55 ms | 2.24 / 2.60 ms | 90 / 18 | 7 / 1 | 0 |
| 1,000 | 978.35 / 1,790.43 ms | 2.16 / 2.52 ms | 5,005 / 1,001 | 7 / 1
| 0 |

- These measurements use local PostgreSQL 18.1 and Node 26.4.0 arm64.
They isolate the cost-evaluation core and complete admission path,
without hosted-region or provider latency. Prior-revision reversed-order
controls also preserved the constant query counts; the final
measurements above use the final production source.
- Complete reserve → final ownership gate → immediate offline provider
result is measured separately, with one responsible agent and one active
operation at each unrelated-agent count. Admission p95 baseline/new: 0
agents **11.54 / 29.77 ms**; 17 agents **9.31 / 27.62 ms**; 1,000 agents
**24.51 / 74.05 ms**. Baseline admission was already scoped; the
stronger final fence adds bounded overhead. New counts stay constant at
53 Drizzle statements, three transactions, two company-accounting locks,
and five agent-reading statements bound to the responsible agent. Zero
unrelated-agent reads, exactly one provider callback per sample, and no
leftover runs or holds. All admission scenarios stay below 250 ms. No
external provider calls are included.
- The partial-usage/delayed-termination fixture passed 20/20: receipt
persistence p95 13 ms, receipt return to observed durable Stop fence p95
28 ms, complete receipt-start-to-fence p95 50 ms, unrelated database
request p95 1 ms while termination was blocked. After releasing the
controlled termination fixture, acknowledgement p95 was 14 ms. These are
separately measured phases; fixture acknowledgement is not live-provider
termination latency.
- Models and provider deadlines are unchanged. No deployment, live
inference, or staging acceptance is claimed. A quiet 30-minute follow-up
waits for the merged revision on staging, then repeats classifier and
controlled budget-stop acceptance in staging, recording hosted
bookkeeping, queue delay, and actual provider acknowledgement
separately.
- Development failures retained: finalizer notification regressions
(fixed; 27/27 affected cases passed), invalid browser admission fixture
assumptions (fixed; browser coverage now passes 63/63), and first-head
lifecycle/dispatch CI regressions (reproduced and repaired). A
prior-head Cases E2E test hit its unchanged announcement-dismiss handler
race while opening a filter; the same journey passed on `1ac9b58`. The
external security review then found a stale-owner race between
accounting commit and provider entry; final verification covers a
competing run in that gap while retaining provider I/O outside the
accounting lock. Early PostgreSQL startup attempts hit local semaphore
pressure; serial reruns succeeded. The final-head Runner lane had one
failure among 1,823 tests: the unchanged `timeout-attachment` fixture
failed at its first process close after 6.28 seconds. The sole same-head
job retry passed all 1,819 active tests (four skipped), including that
fixture in 1.85 seconds. Three isolated local probes could not run
correctly because the Rust fake-provider fixture binary was absent;
cleanup masked the original startup failure. CI builds that fixture
through its normal lane. These probes are inconclusive and are not
counted as passes.

## Risks

- This changes accounting, lifecycle, and cancellation ordering. Durable
generations, source/sequence checks, ownership leases, and company
locking remain required for correctness.
- Provider stop acknowledgement can be slow or fail. Stop intent remains
pending until existing termination proof succeeds; cancelled row status
alone does not acknowledge delivery.
- Mid-run limits depend on provider usage reports or supported price
calculations. Providers that report only at completion cannot provide
exact mid-call detection.
- Signals are process-local wake hints for the supported
single-active-writer model. Durable state and startup recovery remain
authoritative.
- There are no migrations, new queue tables, or cached balances. Repeat
the classifier and controlled budget-stop acceptance after normal
rollout.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and parallel coding agents. The host does not expose the exact backend
model revision or context-window size, so those values are not asserted.

DottaandPaperclip 5ec93dae01 fix(connectors): avoid redundant run preparation discovery (#16461)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Run preparation selects connector skills and tools under current
permissions.
> - An assignment check can build an unrelated company tool catalog and
wait for a shared discovery slot.
> - Native startup repeats assignment discovery to obtain static tool
definitions.
> - Slack also locks and reconciles an unchanged catalog, then repeats
task authorization.
> - This pull request removes that redundant startup work and preserves
live checks at tool execution.
> - The benefit is less preparation work, less contention, and unchanged
permission and approval enforcement.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #16454 (detailed preparation tracing), #16425 (workspace
preparation performance).

**What happened?**

Connector configuration added avoidable work to run preparation. Browser
Use assignment authorized the whole company catalog, including other
connector families. Four connector resolvers ran in series. Native
controller startup repeated all assignment resolution when any connector
skill was pinned. Slack reconciled an unchanged catalog under an
advisory lock and checked task authority twice.

**Expected behavior**

Prepare only the connector data needed by the run. Reuse static tool
definitions from pinned skills. Preserve current company, assignment,
identity, profile, policy, grant, and approval checks when an operation
executes.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure Browser Use and an unrelated MCP catalog with 500 tools for
one company.
2. Resolve Browser Use resources for an authorized task. The old path
reads and authorizes the unrelated catalog.
3. Occupy both full discovery slots. The old assignment check waits for
those slots.
4. Resolve a linked Slack task repeatedly with an existing current
catalog. The old path still acquires a catalog lock and repeats
authority checks.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `68a09dcb5f50e3fb6ceaaeac2706d96db97fc9b3`.

**Deployment mode**

Observed in hosted native runs. The local reproduction uses a source
checkout and real embedded PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- Restrict Browser Use catalog reads and policy decisions to active
Browser Use connections. Preserve guest restrictions, reviewed catalog
filters, live grants, and deterministic resource order. Keep assignment
checks out of the full discovery queue.
- Resolve the four independent connector families concurrently. Wait for
outstanding work to settle before propagating a failure, and retain
registration order.
- Register native direct connector tool definitions from pinned
connector skills. Keep live assignment resolution and governed execution
on every tool call.
- Compare Slack catalog hashes before reconciliation. Current catalogs
skip the catalog transaction and lock. Check task authority once after
current profile checks. Initial setup and upgrades retain locked
reconciliation and checks before and after it.
- Precompute immutable bundled Slack descriptor hashes. Preserve
disabled entries, profile state, removed bindings, and review metadata.
- Document the startup paths and add focused contention, revocation,
catalog upgrade, and failure-settlement regressions.
- Repair a pre-existing CI guard false positive: the filename
`docker-compose-secrets.test.mjs` matched `secrets.`. Check GitHub
secret expressions instead, with dot, bracket, and whole-context
controls. No workflow changes.

## Verification

- Conflict resolution: merge `b1566ca494f4af6e8d4418fa37393c5caee02582`
from master into head `55140b1609ae7bd21a038eb75a48c2683299e4b4`.
Combine both secret-expression guards and regression cases. Preserve
current workspace, native recovery, and Daytona changes. All 467 policy
tests, 787 focused native/connector/Browser Use tests, and server
typecheck passed locally after integration. Fresh full CI passed all 55
checks on this head, with two optional Storybook jobs skipped. Greptile
reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved threads.

- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Focused native startup, connector concurrency, and AgentMail suites —
763 tests passed.
- Complete Browser Use suite — 33 tests passed. Focused Slack catalog,
linked task, retained provenance/revocation, and pinned native tool
tests passed. The complete runner tool authority suite passed (26
tests). The 1,337-case chat suite passed 1,335 tests and had two
failures: the original new transaction-count assertion and a 15-second
timeout in the publication-batch case. Both cases passed an isolated
rerun. The publication timeout occurred during concurrent local checks;
the passing rerun does not erase it. CI must still pass the chat shards.
- The first focused run found two incorrect new assertions: policy
evaluation performs a second catalog lookup, and an explicit allow
policy overrides a profile default. The tests now distinguish the scoped
catalog query and revoke the governing policy. The focused Browser Use
rerun passed all 33 cases after these assertion fixes.
- Full-suite test verification used the CI shards of `pnpm test:run`.
Local runs focused on the changed boundaries; the complete repository
test command was not duplicated locally.
- `node --test '.github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs'` — all 467 policy
tests passed. The CI failure reproduced on the unchanged base guard
before this correction. Actual GitHub secret expressions still match the
guard.
- CI on the final head passed all chat shards, typecheck, build, Runner
checks, browser shards, and other test lanes. One existing
workspace-runtime case hit `EADDRINUSE` for a randomly selected test
listener in server shard 1/12 (1,162 tests passed in that shard). The
shard passed its single retry on the same SHA with no source changes.
The first failure remains recorded here. Previous reviewed head
`7191ac40691ddb1ef38b86665c95cc14c57ea390`: all 55 checks passed, two
optional Storybook jobs skipped, and no pending or failed checks.
Greptile is 5/5 on this head with no unresolved review threads. The
external security scan passed.

Local before/after measurements use the old and new implementations
against the same fixture. Both paths are warmed. Seven samples alternate
execution order. The database is real embedded PostgreSQL. No latency is
injected. These measurements do not establish hosted speed.

| Local path | Before median (range) | After median (range) | Work
reduction |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Browser Use assignment with 500 unrelated MCP tools | 44.020 ms
(33.994–107.328) | 26.502 ms (20.385–99.037) | 26 → 22 statements;
unrelated catalog and discovery queue removed |
| Slack assignment with current catalog and linked responsible user |
49.723 ms (43.624–80.653) | 22.141 ms (19.781–30.818) | 5 → 2 database
transactions; no catalog lock on the current path |

The contention regression fails against the old implementation after a
bounded five-second wait, then passes against the optimized
implementation. It occupies the real global discovery scheduler and
verifies that Browser Use assignment completes without releasing those
slots. It records catalog SQL to verify connection scope. Revocation
cases remove policy, catalog availability, and grants between calls.
Existing Slack integration cases exercise retained provenance, removed
profile bindings, identity revocation, approved writes, and current
responsible-user restrictions.

## Risks

- Pinned native tool definitions can remain visible after access is
revoked. They confer no authority. Invocation rechecks current
assignments and fails closed before an operation executes. Newly
available connector families still require a newly admitted skill
selection.
- Concurrent resolution can increase instantaneous database reads to
four connector families per configuration call. It is a fixed bound.
Outstanding work settles before a failed preparation returns.
- Slack skips reconciliation only when all bundled version hashes and an
existing profile match. Missing or changed definitions still use the
existing locked path. Operator revocations remain effective.
- This PR addresses connector preparation. Workspace transfer, provider
startup, copyback, and queue delay can still keep total latency above
the user's goal. Hosted improvement needs a deployed before/after trace.
- No schema, lockfile, workflow, telemetry event, or authorization cache
changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and GitHub tools. The runtime does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context window.

DottaandPaperclip 35511366dc perf(server): schedule browser cleanup only while sessions exist (#15757)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Hosted instances must become quiet when they have no work.
> - Browser Use queried its session table every three seconds, even when
empty.
> - Existing session rows already store the next poll time and cleanup
lease.
> - This pull request uses commit signals and those saved deadlines to
schedule cleanup.
> - Empty instances stop browser database scans. Live sessions keep
their safety checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Browser Use background cleanup and recovery. This follows #15625 and
#15750.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — REST API and orchestration services.

**Current behavior**

The app scans for due sessions every three seconds, including instances
that have never used Browser Use.

**Proposed behavior**

Scan once at startup. Wake after session creation, provider-create
settlement, stop requests, or credential-removal cleanup. Schedule the
next check from `nextPollAt` and `leaseUntil`. Stop scheduling when all
sessions are terminal.

**Reason and benefit**

Remove empty database traffic so idle stacks and their database
connections can become quiet.

**Breaking changes**

No API or schema change. Running and idle sessions retain provider
polling, cost accounting, access checks, expiry checks, and cleanup
retries.

## What Changed

- Register browser cleanup with the existing work coordinator. Remove
the app's three-second interval.
- Signal existing session transactions before writes. No new tables or
provider infrastructure.
- Restore deadlines from live sessions and their leases. Wake after a
credential-removal sweep releases its lease.
- Wait for concurrent cleanup instead of returning while it still runs.
Drain and standby preserve deferred work.
- Add scheduler tests and database-backed commit and restart coverage.
Update the connector guide and sleep inventory.

## Verification

- Passed: focused browser worker and shared coordinator tests, 17 tests.
- Passed: browser lifecycle, route-scope, viewport, and transport tests,
50 tests. The lifecycle suite uses real local Postgres and a simulated
provider.
- Passed: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`.
- Passed: all hosted test groups for this commit. Started full local
`pnpm test:run`, then stopped its duplicate serial run after the
complete hosted sharded suite passed; no full local-suite pass is
claimed.
- Passed: direct server TypeScript check. Greptile reviewed
`99c3217a2dea505be94081e729941e542e6fbc03` at 5/5 with no findings. All
54 applicable hosted checks passed; the two Storybook checks were
skipped because this PR has no UI changes.

## Risks

- Process-local signals cover services that share the instrumented
database owner. Independent processes and direct SQL writes require
startup recovery; this does not add cross-process notification.
- Live sessions still poll. This removes empty scans; it does not make a
running hosted browser sleep.
- Cleanup uses the existing provider protocol and lease fences. Tests
simulate the provider; no paid live browser was created for this
scheduling change.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 858094ba81 Fix browser polling for unsaved agent chats (#15298)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat uses the shared task surface and browser panel.
> - An unsaved chat has a temporary ID instead of a stored task UUID.
> - The browser poll sent that ID to a PostgreSQL UUID query and
returned a server error.
> - This pull request waits for a saved task and validates task IDs
before the query.
> - Saved chats keep their browser tools and access checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14331. That report describes the same draft-ID problem in email
requests. This change covers the browser routes; it does not change
email behavior.

Opening an unsaved Agent Chat sends `chat:<agent-id>` to
`/issues/:issueId/browsers` every three seconds. PostgreSQL rejects this
as a task UUID. The draft is only a UI view model. The first send or
upload creates its stored task.

## What Changed

- Disable browser polling for unsaved chat IDs. Resume polling when the
chat has a task UUID.
- Return the existing task-not-found response for malformed task IDs
before database access. Keep board authentication first and company and
credential checks unchanged.
- Test all six task browser routes, draft-to-saved polling, normal
tasks, saved chats, and denied access. Keep canonical UUID v4, v7, and
nil values queryable.
- Document the draft and saved-chat browser contract.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` passed with pnpm 9.15.4 and Node
24.21.0.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/browser-use-route-scope.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/browser-use-connection.test.ts` passed all 35
tests.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/hooks/useTaskBrowsers.test.ts` passed all
5 tests.
- Independent review passed 14 hook and route tests plus both real task
and saved-chat authorization cases.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` and `git diff --check` passed.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- Full Linux CI passed on `dafff44a32`: 53 successful checks and two
intentional Storybook skips. This includes all general and serialized
test groups, UI and browser tests, typecheck, build, and the canary dry
run. No CI retries were needed.
- The full local `TMPDIR=/private/tmp pnpm test:run` started but did not
complete. It was stopped after full Linux CI passed. Before the stop,
three company-skills cache cases failed on macOS. A focused rerun
reproduced all three as `EACCES` while renaming immutable cache staging
directories. The test, company-skills service, and runtime cache files
are byte-identical to the baseline previously reproduced on `e99854249c`
for #15291. Other local groups were not reached; the full Linux CI run
provides aggregate coverage.
- Greptile scored the exact head `dafff44a32` 5/5 with no findings or
unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- Malformed task IDs now return 404 instead of reaching PostgreSQL and
returning 500. The route does not map draft IDs to agents or tasks.
- No schema, browser provider, task creation, or authorization policy
changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, code
execution, and independent agent review. The exact deployment model ID
and context window are not exposed in this session.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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