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.
