DottaandPaperclip d0db8820db fix(connections): repair native baseline and approval continuations (#15420)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the tools they may use.
> - Connection setup separates provider preference from permission to
use a tool.
> - The first native connection baseline could not exercise its intended
decisions.
> - The browser used mutable task titles, and the provider fixture
already granted access.
> - Native provider-choice instructions also disagreed with the
preferred question format. Schema rejection gave no field guidance.
> - This pull request repairs those test preconditions and native
guidance, then fixes restart/approval defects exposed by the corrected
baseline. It also restores missing OpenCode tool-error evidence.
> - The benefit is an inspectable baseline before any further
instruction reduction.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15407.

The original 15-cell baseline remains 0 PASS / 15 FAIL. Ten cells
stopped on stale titles, two Codex cells had schema denials, two
OpenCode cells used already-granted tools, and one Claude cell returned
no native result. No intended user decisions were submitted. The exact
invalid Codex field and underlying Claude failure cause remain unknown.

[Original
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37562577199)
· [Original
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37562577199-1/index.html)

## What Changed

- Match the browser's task route and visible identifier instead of a
title the agent can change.
- Start native provider-choice fixtures with no agent tool access.
Verify the public effective-access records.
- In the positive case, select Arcade, then grant its exact HubSpot tool
through the real access card. Require both saved decisions and exactly
one observed call.
- Return a canonical `providerQuestionSet` for native input and retain
the equivalent legacy `providerQuestion`.
- Keep invalid input rejected. Return bounded schema locations and
required field names without submitted values.
- Preserve Claude's exact session/content identity while allowing
authenticated registered instruction-copy paths to rotate on a new run.
- Reject duplicate approval reports for an existing exact tool-action
card before they create another human review.
- Wait for a recorded service-approval continuation within the existing
deadline; retain missing or failed continuation grades.
- Forward OpenCode tool activity through the runner facade, preserving
bounded errors and execution-part identity without inventing host-call
joins or exposing arguments.
- Preserve original grades, costs, scope limits and diagnoses in the
dated repair report.

## Verification

- Eval typecheck passes. Support suite: 1,801 PASS, one intentional
skip; Node checks: 128 PASS.
- Connection/schema tests: 51 PASS. Real-server public fixture setup:
one PASS with zero providers.
- Browser support regression: five PASS, including renamed and wrong
tasks.
- Focused Rust safe-feedback test: one PASS.
- Repository typecheck and build pass before the latest master replay.
Post-replay connection/shared/real-server fixture checks: 52 PASS; eval
typecheck passes. The browser review fix additionally passes all five
browser checks and seven suite checks.
- The full local repository run was interrupted incomplete after about
45 minutes, with five integration failures retained. All five pass in a
separate targeted invocation (1,250 unrelated tests skipped). No full
local-suite pass or root cause for the initial local failures is
claimed.
- Corrected frozen source `162cc90fdabe7f505b88ae095044531b82784c92`:
**10 PASS / 5 FAIL** across the [passing Codex
canary](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37575158761)
and [remaining 14
cells](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37576261807).
The canary passes all 17 checks. Claude's two provider-choice
continuations fail on restart, Claude service approval exposes an early
evaluator rejection, Codex service approval creates a duplicate
approval, and OpenCode provider-second times out after both decisions
with no HubSpot call. No original result is regraded.
- Final ledgers count 31 actual runs: 27 succeeded, two failed, two
cancelled during cleanup. All 15 cleanup/budget checks pass. The late
Claude continuation is absent from its earlier workflow snapshot; it
remains in the result/API/final ledger. Original evidence retains 279
hashes. Recorded LLM subtotal $0.04553787 is incomplete billing, not
actual total cost; local runtime is unmetered.
- New repair regressions reproduce the Claude attach failure, duplicate
approval acceptance and dropped OpenCode tool events before their
respective fixes. Nine Rust attachment checks, 127 ACPX host/adapter
tests, 33 completion/control-plane checks, nine eval deadline tests, 59
OpenCode proxy/driver tests, one Rust tool-error/redaction check, and
TypeScript/Rust composer parity pass. Eval typecheck, repository
typecheck and build pass. Existing support coverage is 1,802 PASS plus
128 Node PASS, one intentional support skip; two additional deadline
tests also pass.
- New-source full CI/review and live canaries are pending. The next
bounded selection is Claude provider-decline, Codex service-approve and
one OpenCode provider-second diagnostic with repaired event evidence. No
broader campaign or instruction-reduction qualification is claimed.
- Initial corrected campaign
[37574251834](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37574251834)
was cancelled during shared build after review found the breadcrumb
whitespace assumption. Its matrix job has zero steps and no provider
execution. The real adjacent-span browser regression now reproduces the
old failure and passes after the fix.

## Risks

- The corrected baseline remains 10/15. The new restart/approval fixes
require live qualification; OpenCode evidence forwarding does not itself
establish or fix its prior behavioral failure.
- The positive provider case now expects three runs, including separate
access approval. Its new results are distinct from the original invalid
fixture.
- The old Claude missing-result cause and rejected Codex field are
unknown. These repairs do not retroactively explain or erase either
failure.
- Path rotation must preserve prompt, custom instruction, skill/content
identity and protected provider settings; regression checks reject stale
or changed content. No connection authorization, JSON schema, budget,
cleanup, or final-result requirement is relaxed. Historical Everyday
prompts and gateway setup remain unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact deployment variant and context window are
not exposed in this session. Used repository inspection, code editing,
test execution and retained-evidence analysis.

DottaandPaperclip caf120105c test: prepare neutral native connection guidance evals (#15407)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents need to discover connections, obtain consent, and continue
from saved decisions.
> - We want to reduce repeated instructions only when measured behavior
supports the change.
> - The existing decline tasks tell the model not to retry. One
provider-decline check can pass without an explanation or an observed
service counter.
> - This PR adds neutral tasks and stricter saved-evidence checks before
any connection instruction reduction.
> - Production instructions remain unchanged. The new cells are
configured, not live-qualified.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15218. Refs #15389.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The Product E2E connection workflow evaluation and its instruction
measurement provenance.

**Current behavior**

Some decline prompts supply the policy they intend to test. The
provider-decline workflow does not require a saved post-decision
explanation. Its old no-call check can use a missing fixture counter as
zero. OpenCode has no connection cases in the original Everyday matrix.

**Proposed behavior**

Add an explicit-only suite with five connection stories on native Codex,
ACPX Claude, and OpenCode. Require an explanation attributed by exact
run ID after a saved decline. Observe the provider fixture counter.
Preserve the original cases and grades.

## What Changed

- Add fifteen configured cells with one attempt, twelve-minute
deadlines, and verified 1,000-cent company and agent budget stops.
- Remove procedure hints from the three new decline prompts. Keep a
user-permitted explanation fallback and the existing positive controls.
- Require saved decline state, one decision, unchanged connections,
observed zero service calls where applicable, and a post-decision
explanation from a successful run on the same task.
- Add negative grader calibration and test the actual fixture budget
payloads. Exclude the suite from default and generic selection.
- Extend the existing full-catalog measurement source manifest with
connection descriptions and schemas. Add an audit of fixed text, tool
descriptions, returned instructions, and unqualified behavior.
- Rebase on master `a6306ba606eb87c89b9ef0344e9fe8e0025580f9` and
preserve its new Cursor suites. No production, credential, workflow, or
lockfile change.

## Verification

- Before rebase: Product E2E support passed 1,424 TypeScript tests and
128 Node checks. Six catalog measurement tests, repository
typecheck/build, Product E2E typecheck, and exact fifteen-cell discovery
passed.
- The full pre-rebase repository test run was stopped when master
advanced. Its partial result is not a pass.
- After rebase and the review correction: repository build/typecheck,
Product E2E typecheck, 1,799 TypeScript support tests (one skipped), 128
Node checks, six measurement tests, and exact fifteen-cell discovery
pass. The duplicate local full-suite run was stopped incomplete after
about 20 minutes once complete CI passed; no local full-suite pass is
claimed.
- Review found that the initial grader read `runId` instead of public
`createdByRunId`. A regression calibration reproduced both rejection of
valid public comments and acceptance of the wrong alias. The fix uses
the actual field and binds the evidence type to the shared
`IssueComment` contract. A subsequent type-only import path correction
passes Product E2E typecheck.
- Final source `0de306b9664bfbdebb6709ddb54c95152740d1ad` passes
[complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37560250545):
51 successful checks and two intentional Storybook skips, plus separate
Snyk success. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with the single review thread
resolved and no new findings. The PR is clean and mergeable.
- Local commands: `pnpm build`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm
test:e2e:runner:unit`, `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`, and `pnpm
test:e2e:runner -- --list --suite native-connection-guidance`. The
measurement uses
`PAPERCLIP_NATIVE_PROCEDURE_MEASUREMENT=/tmp/connection-measurement.json
pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/native-procedure-measurement.test.ts`. Validation
used pinned pnpm 9.15.4.
- No paid provider campaign was started. There is no baseline/candidate
behavior result for these new cells.
- The audit records 654 UTF-8 bytes of fixed connection guidance. A
clean capture at `a04b8c6a452315625014888335d45670a2094fb6` confirms 41
supplied tools, 53,341 normalized bytes at start/resume, 50,949 at
compact continuation, and a 48,195-byte authenticated OpenCode MCP
catalog. These are byte counts, not tokens, bills, vendor-private prompt
sizes, or savings from this PR.

## Risks

- This is eval preparation. Passing support tests do not establish live
model behavior or qualify an instruction reduction.
- The explanation oracle checks attributed saved output. It does not
prove cognition or arbitrary prose truthfulness. One saved interaction
also does not prove the absence of repeated idempotent tool calls.
- Successful new authentication and tool refresh, existing-connection
agent grants, independent work while waiting, explicit retry after
decline, and blocking when mandatory work remains still need separate
coverage.
- Notion setup decline does not execute a real Notion service. Positive
service approval uses an already installed deterministic service; it
does not qualify new connection creation.
- The original historical failures remain unchanged. Future comparisons
must freeze source, fixture, model, input, and grading controls and
retain every actual attempt.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The exact serving model ID and context-window size were not
exposed in this session; they are not inferred. No model provider was
invoked by the eval suite in this PR preparation.

DottaandPaperclip a6306ba606 feat(runner): consolidate Cursor production integration (#15075)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native Runner keeps provider sessions under company authority,
approvals, budgets and durable recovery.
> - Cursor work was spread across candidate branches. The published
branch lacked later plan, permission and cleanup fixes.
> - Production also needs public installation and matching runtime
assets for local and Daytona execution.
> - This pull request consolidates Cursor onto current mainline recovery
behavior and completes that installation path.
> - The installed v11 release passed focused local and Daytona
qualification after the generic mode and lifecycle cleanup. The later
model-selection correction and current mainline merge produce v14
artifacts that need matching release qualification.
> - Cursor admission is enabled in source; publish only an artifact
combination with matching qualification. Native AskQuestion and complete
per-run dollar accounting remain excluded.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #14435, #14631, #14669, #14699, #14724.

This completes the Cursor implementation by @cryppadotta from combined
source `22c78242a4e0c2369fecf0c2dc4e7600fbad6706`. It preserves newer
mainline recovery, completion and warm-directory behavior. Pi and
Copilot remain gated.

## What Changed

- Generate named Rust and TypeScript ACPX release profiles from one
manifest. Share runtime pins with packaging and server verification.
Preserve vendor runtime versions; bind the updated ACPX patch to Cursor
profile v14 and reject stale generated declarations at build/typecheck.
- Remove ACPX model allowlists, including the former Codex and Pi
restrictions and the duplicate developer test-drive gate. Send any
explicit model ID unchanged to its provider and verify the effective
selection before prompting. The bundled ACPX package forwards unlisted
IDs, rejects mismatched acknowledgements, and restores the exact
selection after session load. It does not expand Cursor model aliases.
Provider rejection, mismatch, or missing model controls fails without a
fallback. Model examples live in evaluation fixtures, outside runtime
declarations.

- Add pinned Cursor execution, contained instructions, exact model
verification and Agent/Plan/Ask modes.
- Carry an opaque generic `mode` identifier in shared native execution,
sidecar, Rust and recovery contracts. The provider adapter owns
supported modes, defaults, native translation and acknowledgement.
- Keep native RPC recognition, accepted-plan interpretation and
permission evidence behind provider adapters. Shared settlement and
recovery verify normalized facts and their committed evidence.
- Replace the Cursor-only warm-attachment branch with a runner-owned
capability. Only Cursor opts into it. Move profile compatibility and
optional usage parsing into provider metadata and adapters.
- Write generic plan-wait receipts. Read exact historical Cursor
receipts through a separate compatibility decoder. Reject mixed formats
and preserve existing authority checks.
- Carry native plans, semantic questions, todos, child activity,
permission identities and partial usage diagnostics through the Runner.
- Preserve durable response delivery, cancellation, warm ownership and
process retirement.
- Finish accepted planning runs successfully. Keep their tasks open for
explicit direction. Acceptance does not start implementation.
- Ship `paperclipai runtime setup cursor` and its provisioner through
the public package. npm installation does not download Cursor. Setup
uses the OS account's closure-keyed cache so system-wide npm packages
can remain read-only. Run it as the Paperclip service account.
- Include Cursor in normal provider packs and Daytona images for macOS
ARM64/x64 and Linux x64.
- Reject stale release packs by source revision and current ACPX/Cursor
pins before assembly writes files. Verify current Cursor
version/profile/closure again at runtime.
- Ship all three daemon targets and the expected Linux image-pack
identity. A macOS controller uses its packaged Linux daemon for Daytona.
Image mismatches fail before provider launch.
- Use the vendored Runner boundary for installed readiness probes.
Verify the actual installed Cursor probe.
- Verify compiled public Daytona plugins and their release versions in
installed smokes.
- Record exact artifacts, the acceptance matrix, retained failures,
supported capabilities and rollback behavior in the [readiness
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/cursor-production-readiness/doc/plans/2026-10-03-cursor-production-readiness.md).

## Verification

- Current head `f7ec5cc1f0e30c62a829c016ff2013a2a9d79037` merges
mainline `faa8e452c73bae5e044dd6379179a00106abb131`. It keeps Cursor
plan and cancellation guards alongside mainline historical-question
filtering. The evaluation catalog includes both Cursor and expanded
adapter accounting cases (683 total). Recursive typecheck, full build,
696 lifecycle/recovery tests, 45 fixture tests and fixture typecheck
passed. Current-head CI passed: 56 successful checks, one neutral and
four skipped. [Complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37557996535).
The fresh Base Greptile review is 5/5 on this exact head, with 304 files
reviewed, zero new comments and zero unresolved threads. The user
authorized overriding the CODEOWNER review gate after checks passed; no
failing checks are overridden. Prior results below retain their own head
identities.
- Corrective head `3d2b168366258036f6b6a6fccb382c49138cc601` fixes the
post-merge Apex finding. Automatic-review and new-evidence
reconciliation preserve pending child results and recheck delivery under
the status lock before completing. Account repair now excludes unrelated
secret consumers and requires the failed agent's identity. Regression
coverage includes the commit race, delivery statuses,
current-run/current-intent exclusions, repeated reconciliation, both
database reconciliation paths, and credential consumer boundaries. All
184 affected tests, server typecheck and server build passed.
Current-head Base Greptile review is 5/5, with 304 files reviewed, zero
new comments and zero unresolved threads. Current-head CI passed: 56
successful checks, one neutral and four skipped. [Complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37535994724).
This Base review is distinct from the earlier Apex review.
- Merge head `5957c257a` reconciles mainline `b508a05c4`. It preserves
both accepted-plan waits and pending-child-completion checks, current
provider selectors, task-creation response identities, and mainline ACPX
missing-file handling. The combined patch is bound to Cursor profile
v14; historical records keep their original identities.
- Merge head `5957c257a` passed recursive typecheck, full build, 43
installed ACPX/package contracts, 107 provider UI and plan/recovery
tests, 593 database-backed lifecycle tests, 49 profile/native contract
tests, 45 Product E2E fixture tests, fixture typecheck, token gates,
three provider-free browser task-creation cases, and Runner
conformance/replay checks. Its complete CI passed (55 successful checks,
one neutral and four skipped), while Apex returned 2/5 with a
child-delivery finding addressed below.
- The local full-suite attempt again failed the unchanged Git streaming
test (360-second timeout) and was stopped. The concurrent local Rust
attempt failed four unchanged Codex process/deadline tests; all four
passed serially without code changes in 7.29 seconds after removing the
competing test load. These failed commands are retained and are not
reported as full-suite passes; the fresh Linux CI runs are tracked
separately.
- The previous head `907bdb2a2778c7ffeb4a662a91460c9d1ddfc9c5` earned
Apex 5/5 with zero comments after fixing all three findings: per-user
install cache, stale release-pack rejection, and public Linux smoke
account/home handling. Its real built installer passed from read-only
public packages on macOS ARM64 and Linux x64. All 137 release-registry
checks and 64 ACPX package contracts passed. That review does not cover
this mainline reconciliation.
- Prior `beadd3654` passed the full CI matrix; its one unchanged chat
test failure and successful single retry remain in the [CI
history](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37521449327).
Historical results below remain attributed to their original builds.

- Fixture follow-up `dd59d7e82b103a88b7cbd7d2c38b612c0fbbff7a` removes
provider-specific model choices from generic offline ACPX tests. The
fake sidecar preserves the model and session identity selected at open
through suspension. Affected verification passed: 106 Rust tests and 73
TypeScript tests. This commit changes test code only; the
production-code checks below retain their recorded identities. Its CI
and Greptile review later passed; those results belong to that
historical head.
- Model-selection cleanup `9a070808b48960a41fdfd369ae0636b95af82459`:
252 focused Runner tests passed (six platform skips), covering all six
ACPX agents, native model acknowledgement, rejected selections,
installation integrity and recovery identity. The merged branch passed
recursive typecheck, full build, token gates, server admission (19
tests), and the Product E2E catalog (45 tests). The acceptance catalog
passed all four tests. The full Rust suite passed: 643 tests, 2 ignored.
It verifies sidecar acknowledgement of unlisted models and rejection of
model mismatches. The final commits only update Rust tests; production
sources match the verified build at
`65ec3279ac50185e3cda109b5cfd9b4f56105de0`. No new paid provider calls
were made.
- The merge preserves both Cursor and the new mainline public-MCP
fixture cases. Auto-merge remains disabled; the latest follow-up status
is recorded above. The local `pnpm test:run` attempt hit the unchanged
Git streaming test's 300-second timeout and was interrupted before
merging mainline. The broad Runner attempt found obsolete single-model
assertions plus three macOS fixture-path failures caused by a
`/private/tmp` override. The assertions are corrected; affected
TypeScript checks passed with the standard macOS temporary directory,
and the complete Rust suite passed. Neither interrupted command is a
full-suite pass.
- Earlier declaration-cleanup head `6f4a5e9e2` passed recursive
typecheck, build, Rust and focused tests. Its CI later exposed a test
expecting duplicated Grok digest literals. The current source fixes that
assertion to compare launcher bytes with the shared manifest. Historical
successes and failed attempts are retained; no new live provider
qualification is claimed.
- Previous head `e75fde6098b0ddd8cec765bfb6ecaeecb88a26a6` passed
complete CI (56 successful checks, one neutral, four skipped) and
Greptile 5/5. [Historical complete
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37489112305).
Those results are not claimed for the cleanup head.
- Frozen live application: `d7b696f9b8f79095233e9e3d56d23e6a6018dd48`.
Public package version: `0.0.0-cursor-verify.3d0c9b7761c6`. The
declaration cleanup preserves release pins and does not relabel that
tested artifact as a build of the new source. Mainline through
`e34abee670` was reconciled while preserving accepted-plan waits,
provider-capacity handling, and both Cursor and public-MCP fixtures.
- Clean normal installation, explicit Cursor setup and daemon resolution
passed on macOS ARM64, macOS x64 under Rosetta, and Linux x64. npm
lifecycle hooks ran without silently downloading Cursor.
- Historical v11 live matrix: **18/18 passed with cleanup** (nine local,
nine Daytona) after the generic mode and lifecycle cleanup. The campaign
has 23 attempts; all five failures and their diagnoses remain recorded.
Exact case identities, hashes and limits are in the readiness report.
All provider calls are real, use the explicit Luna model and
company-bound credentials, and run without qualification or
runtime-asset overrides.
- The immutable Daytona image is
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:d6259b6bba094702c13fc2283bd85550849c1c53145b656fb2746778f9fa1747`.
The public Daytona plugin is installed independently and its version is
checked.
- Recursive typecheck, full build, token gates and Runner
contract/conformance/replay checks passed on the frozen application. Its
complete Linux CI suite passed. The duplicate local full-suite command
was incomplete after timing failures; affected repeats passed, but that
command is not reported as a clean pass.
- Qualification fixtures passed typecheck, 1,675 Vitest tests (one
skip), 128 Node checks, three provider-free browser tests, and 150
focused lifecycle tests after the final diagnostic correction. The
affected legacy Cursor command file also passed all five tests after
removing its shorter 10-second override; it now inherits the suite’s
standard 15-second timeout. Greptile is 5/5 on `e75fde609` with no
unresolved review threads. CI results above are recorded separately from
historical build results.

## Risks

- Cursor v14 includes the updated ACPX dependency patch and release
identity. The v11 live matrix and image below remain historical
evidence. They do not certify new v14 package/image artifacts.

- ACPX accepts models beyond the qualification fixtures. Availability
and entitlement depend on the provider. Successful configuration is not
a claim of live qualification for every model.
- Shared mode is an opaque identifier. Provider adapters own its
meaning. Incompatible historical sessions remain fenced; exact committed
plan waits and task history remain inspectable.
- Native AskQuestion is excluded. Paperclip semantic questions are
supported. Authoritative per-run dollar accounting is unavailable;
partial counters remain diagnostics and unknown cost is not zero.
- Image input, detailed native diffs, deeper child transcripts and
native plan-file export remain follow-ups.
- macOS x64 has clean-install and daemon-startup proof under Rosetta,
not a separate live campaign on Intel hardware.
- Release only the tested package/image combination. Merging this PR
does not publish npm packages or deploy that image. Later builds need
their own release verification. Rollback disables new Cursor admission
while preserving records and recovery inspection.
- A model can fail an exact instruction: one cancelled-plan attempt
returned the wrong summary marker despite correct cancellation. The
unchanged repeat passed; both results remain in the report.

> ROADMAP.md was checked. This completes existing native Runner/Cursor
work; it does not add an independent core feature proposal.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact serving variant and context window are
not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, protocol tests and browser-backed Product
E2E tools. Cursor acceptance uses the explicit
`gpt-5.6-luna[context=272k,reasoning=medium,fast=false]` model. That is
the evaluated provider model.

DottaandPaperclip 2d0c138122 Expand direct assistant MCP tools for work and configuration (#15380)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also use assistants in Codex, Claude, and other MCP clients.
> - The existing assistant connection can read work and create tasks or
comments.
> - It cannot edit tasks, exchange files, or manage normal agent and
project settings.
> - These operations must retain the person's permissions and
Paperclip's execution rules.
> - This pull request adds an explicit operation registry and separately
consented configuration access.
> - Assistants can manage work without receiving credentials or runner
authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: assistant MCP, domain routes, consent UI, storage, and
Product E2E.

**Problem or motivation**

A connected assistant cannot update tasks, maintain documents, attach
files, or configure existing agents, projects, and skills. Users must
leave the assistant for these routine actions.

**Proposed solution**

Add named tools and a restricted API registry to direct connections.
Require separate configuration consent. Reuse domain routes and retry
receipts. File uploads save the attachment when the byte transfer
succeeds.

**Alternatives considered**

Arbitrary REST forwarding would expose administration and credential
operations. Runner impersonation would bypass execution ownership.
Separate upload completion calls add unnecessary client state.

**Roadmap alignment**

Checked ROADMAP.md and related MCP pull requests. This extends the
human-authorized connection from #14933. It does not replace the runner
or introduce agent impersonation.

Companion Cloud routing and directory isolation:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/678.

## What Changed

- Add task editing, finish/block, documents/revisions, deliverables,
agent settings/instructions, projects/repositories, and skills/files.
- Add an allowlisted API search/call registry with identical field
restrictions, scopes, and retry identities.
- Add unchecked configuration consent. Existing write grants retain
their current authority.
- Add hashed, expiring file transfer tickets and atomic upload receipts.
No completion call is required.
- Preserve company boundaries, human attribution, active native
execution ownership, and execution review gates.
- Add protocol/domain tests, consent stories, and eight paid Product E2E
workflows.
- Repair two CI fixture races: await cold route setup before assertions,
and wait for asynchronously loaded connection copy. Both fixture suites
pass (24 + 48 tests).

## Verification

- Consent revision: one write-access checkbox controls requested work
and configuration permissions in browser and device flows. All 16
consent tests, UI typecheck/build and token gates pass. Updated
interactive stories cover default approval, opt-out and viewer
restrictions. The paid browser helper uses the new exact label. Real
GPT-5.4 Mini Product E2E passes 2/2 at
`64f96373118eb190f8cba1c2ab17cb979555f3ad` (configuration + permission
denial), campaign `local-2026-10-07T00-51-14-337Z`, no automatic
retries, cleanup passed; $0.04149375 estimated assistant cost plus
unpriced worker usage. Raw results, usage and source fingerprints are
retained in the worktree. UI and Product E2E typechecks pass.

- Prior head `2f246d4b74f1f98c75ebcb37ae6753a748237fac`: all 52 checks
pass; two optional Storybook checks skip. Greptile 5/5 on that head, no
unresolved review threads. Final consent head
`64f96373118eb190f8cba1c2ab17cb979555f3ad` also has all checks passing
and Greptile 5/5 with no unresolved threads. The unchanged Cursor
sandbox test had one 10-second timeout, passed in local isolation, and
passed its single CI rerun; the failed attempt remains in [the CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37554106934).
The existing chat retry-denial browser test had one visibility failure;
its single rerun passes, and the failed attempt remains in [the CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37542735691).

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass at final
runtime source `b2196fae1`. UI token gates pass.
- 139 MCP/OAuth/transfer/privacy tests and 76 grader calibration tests
pass, including one-connection PostgreSQL OAuth and concurrent upload
retries.
- Paid Product E2E: all eight expanded cases qualified across Mini,
Haiku and Sonnet. A merged-source repeat passed 23/24; one Haiku cell
timed out before application startup. Final affected-case qualification
passes 9/9 on all three models with grader v16, including the failed
cell. Automatic retries disabled; failures, costs, source hashes and
independent durable-state/file assertions are retained in [the
verification
record](doc/plans/2026-10-06-expanded-assistant-mcp-verification.md).
- Actual Codex CLI, Claude Code and OpenCode clients completed local
reads/mutations. Codex wrote a report, Claude updated it in a later
conversation, and OpenCode uploaded/downloaded a file with matching
SHA-256 and registered the attachment. Revoking the CLI grant rejects
subsequent bridge initialization.
- Butter staging is verified on final runtime `b2196fae1`
([deployment](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/37538432138)).
A fresh OpenCode workspace fetched the copied invitation, configured
remote MCP, started OAuth and reached real consent with configuration
unchecked. Invalid transfer tickets return 403 through Cloud. Human
approval for the new persistent staging grant is pending; hosted
task/file success is not yet claimed. The final transaction fix is
deployed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` passed 15,614 general-server tests but
stopped on two macOS timeouts. The heartbeat test passed in isolation;
the existing 40,000-file Git stress fixture timed out again. Its Linux
CI lane passes. Later local full-suite phases did not run after the
timeout; this is not an all-green local full-suite claim.
- Instructions and security limits are in `doc/public-mcp.md`; the saved
plan is `doc/plans/2026-10-06-expanded-assistant-mcp-tools.md`.

## Risks

- This expands the experimental direct MCP surface. Explicit schemas and
domain permissions must stay synchronized.
- Migration 0311 adds transfer tickets and upload receipts. Expired
orphan cleanup must not remove committed attachments.
- Configuration requires a new consent request containing that scope;
the single write-access choice controls it alongside work mutations.
Refreshing an old grant does not add it.
- The public directory keeps its original ten tools through the
companion Cloud change.
- Hosted consent/work proof remains the final delivery gate. The PR
stays draft while approval of the new staging grant is pending; code
checks and review are green. Merging is a separate action.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6, tool use and code execution). The exact serving
model ID and context window are not exposed in this session. Paid
evaluation models: gpt-5.4-mini, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001;
claude-sonnet-4-6.

DottaandPaperclip fe9d865250 fix(native): wake parents after revised child completions (#15372)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and the tasks they perform.
> - A parent needs a new notification when a child finishes requested
revisions.
> - Native completion currently identifies that wake by the parent and
child only.
> - An already consumed notification can suppress the child's next
completion.
> - This PR binds ordinary child notifications to the committed status
decision.
> - A replay keeps the same identity, while a new completion can wake
the parent.
> - Live evaluation then exposed new child results being swallowed by an
active parent.
> - The repair preserves that input for a fresh turn and prevents
premature Done from discarding it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #15218. The procedure experiments remain unshipped. This fixes
native completion wake identity and durable delivery to a busy parent.

Related open work: #10559 and #4507 address legacy wake deduplication,
#11179 addresses delivery during an active parent run, and #13044
addresses watchdog signals. This PR changes native committed-decision
keys and their delivery to an active parent, while preserving exact
watchdog behavior.

**What happened?**

A native child completed, its parent consumed the notification, and
feedback reopened the child. The second completion found the old
completed wake and created no new notification.

**Expected behavior**

Each new ordinary child completion can notify the parent. Replaying the
same committed completion must not add a notification. If the parent is
already running, the new result must remain available for a fresh turn;
an unread result must survive a parent Done claim.

**Steps to reproduce**

Complete a native child, consume its parent wake, reopen and complete
that same child, then inspect the parent wakes. The regression fails on
unchanged master because only one wake exists after two completions.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Baseline: `0fe47882cfcb12082035113c59ca96091c46ebfc`.

**Deployment mode**

Native runner with the standard server and PostgreSQL control plane.

## What Changed

- Include the durable status-decision ID in ordinary child completion
wake keys.
- Defer new ordinary native child completions behind an active parent,
carrying the committed decision identity and revised summary.
- Keep a parent in progress while that result is still queued, claimed
or deferred; recheck before the status commit. Use the existing
continuation without reviving cancelled tasks.
- Lock the parent before ordinary child status writes, making the
notification/Done ordering explicit without upgrading an implicit
foreign-key lock.
- Cover exact sequential delivery, dispatcher replay, and
queued/claimed/deferred versus consumed/current-run completion
identities in database tests.
- Apply it when the child is also a dependency and when it is only a
child.
- Preserve the stable key for exact `task_watchdog` origins to avoid
repeated watchdog loops.
- Extend real database conformance coverage for both relationships,
ordinary and near-match origins, watchdogs, revised summaries, and
replay.
- Reconcile the working checklist with the merged guidance PRs and
record the bounded next step.
- Reuse the current composer helper for Everyday task creation: capture
the returned task ID, preserve the exact prompt and chosen
assignee/project, and cover the setup with paused-agent browser tests.
The same setup correction is present in both comparison variants.

## Verification

**Ready for review and merge at
`e2fc0c8e3ddb84dd9bc045704c3d1ecb23ee3447`: both original live cases
pass, zero new failures against the frozen baseline, all checks green,
CLEAN/MERGEABLE and out of draft. Not merged.**

| Profile | Original baseline | Initial candidate | Fixed candidate |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| native Codex / `gpt-5.6-sol` | PASS | FAIL | PASS |
| ACPX Claude / `claude-sonnet-5` | FAIL | PASS | PASS |

One new pass, one unchanged pass, zero new failures and no pending pairs
against the original baseline. The earlier failed candidate is
preserved; it was fixed and measured at a new source, not regraded or
rerolled unchanged.

### Current source and live evidence

- [Completed campaign
37523025407](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37523025407)
and [public report with original
screenshots](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37523025407-1/index.html).
Report and screenshots return HTTP 200; screenshot bytes match original
retained evidence.
- Measured candidate `e2fc0c8e3ddb84dd9bc045704c3d1ecb23ee3447`; reused
frozen baseline `7d700f43e93e89e4c196f8799b0aa3cef41d20da`. Trusted
workflow `88ff98b83d15eaa6640ee1848df4f0ad9bc82af3` is distinct from
measured sources; workflow blob
`0600886144d3e22ea2e4a38329a79177882f3948`. Prompts, fixture, oracle,
model/profile and input controls are unchanged. Both variants include
the same composer setup repair.
- Both original candidate grades PASS: all 31 checks per cell, parent
and child Done, independently tested revised ZIPs, successful cleanup.
Exactly one first attempt per profile on this source: 10 actual runs, no
retries. Reusing nine baseline runs gives 19 matched runs; the baseline
was not rerun.
- Claude directly exercised the repair: its revised child completed
while the parent was active, the parent's Done claim became InProgress
with `native_child_completion_pending`, and a fresh parent turn then
completed with the revised artifact.
- Both persisted final provider comments refer to the same attachment
whose parent-registration hash matches the revised ZIP tested by the
original oracle; native final evidence also references that attachment.
Codex provides a clickable download link. Claude describes the new
`--max-length` behavior but uses a backticked attachment ID, without a
clickable URL in the final prose. The artifact is registered on the
parent and independently downloaded/tested; prose-link usability remains
a presentation limit outside the original oracle. Artifact identity and
observed execution do not prove cognitive review.
- 68 focused scheduling/conformance/arbiter tests pass. Four regressions
fail against the original production files while four controls pass. The
database scheduler test proves one sequential continuation with the
revised summary and replay deduplication. It uses a mock adapter and is
separate from the live proof.
- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. [Exact-head full
CI
37522126627](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37522126627):
51 successful checks, two intentional skips, separate Snyk success.
Fresh exact-head Greptile
[5/5](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15372#issuecomment-6022179172),
no new actionable findings; all review threads resolved.
- Ready-transition Contributor trust and Superagent Security Scan both
pass. The security scan completed at 2026-10-06T20:26:53Z with zero
annotations. Final total: 53 successful check runs, two intentional
skips and separate Snyk success; aggregate SUCCESS, source unchanged,
zero unresolved threads.
- The explicit parent lock precedes child writes. Its controlled
PostgreSQL ordering also passes on previous production through an
implicit foreign-key lock; this is hardening, not a reproduced
additional live failure. The four original failing regressions remain
the before/after proof of the active-parent repair.

### Preserved failures and accounting

- Initial candidate `a2ae2324ce7692e704fc43e99904b076d6246fee`: Codex
PASS → FAIL, Claude FAIL → PASS. Equal totals concealed a new failure
and did not qualify that source. Its Codex parent ended Blocked after
the revised child result coalesced into the active parent; there was no
retained later parent execution and the independent ZIP oracle was never
reached. A later server backstop log did not prove recovery.
- In the initial Claude cells, both parent finals referenced an earlier
parent ZIP while the oracle tested the revised child's ZIP. The original
candidate PASS did not establish latest-artifact delivery. Earlier
parent ZIP bytes are absent, so different hashes alone do not prove
missing functionality. Those original grades and content findings are
unchanged.
- Original baseline
[report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37509893406-1/index.html);
original candidate Claude
[artifact](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37509916344/artifacts/11434353106);
failed candidate Codex
[campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37513070706).
The original cohort contains 17 actual runs, no retries, successful
cleanup.
- Campaign 37509916344 was cancelled after its Codex job waited over 16
minutes without a runner or steps. Completed Claude evidence was
preserved; only the missing Codex first trial was dispatched in
37513070706. The trusted workflow revision differs but workflow bytes
are identical. The cancelled campaign has no published HTML. Earlier
campaigns 37506546098 / 37506550087 retain four composer setup failures,
zero agent runs; the identical fixture-only repair restored setup
without changing the prompt or outcome oracle.
- Intermediate `3c1cf6830ce9db4123b834ffb99c594c383a8986` [campaign
37518652522](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37518652522)
was cancelled after a concurrency review finding. Both paid-cell steps
started and both tasks were created. Only invocation policies survived;
no grade, run inventory or cleanup receipt. Provider activity and
charges are unknown: two incomplete attempts, not passes or
zero-provider setup failures.
- Cumulative accounting: **27 known actual runs** (17 original + 10
fixed-candidate), plus unknown activity in those two cancelled
intermediate attempts. The 19-run matched comparison reuses nine
baseline runs and is not additional execution. Reported LLM amounts are
zero with original billing `complete=true`; actual charges are unknown
and local/hosted runtime is unmetered. No free-run, speed or cost claim.
- Original and new results pass the canonical result validator. Retained
source, input, result/API/story/final-ledger/usage run identities and
artifact hashes were audited. Each downloaded package omits the
pre-upload-declared `playwright-output/.last-run.json`; primary result,
API, final ledger, story, screenshots and reached ZIP oracles are
retained. No full-package completeness claim.
- The initial redundant local full test invocation was stopped after
2,492.5 seconds once that head's CI passed; completed groups recorded
23,045 passes and 87 skips. That local invocation remains incomplete.
Current full CI is the repository-wide test evidence.

## Risks

A revised completion can schedule another sequential parent run and its
normal budget use. A parent Done claim remains non-terminal while a
newer native child result awaits delivery. Company scope, governance,
workspace-finalization, terminal cancellation and exact watchdog
behavior remain enforced. This changes native completion authority and
scheduling, so the durable identity, replay and concurrent-commit
controls matter.

The two live trials qualify the observed revised-child handoff, not
broad task quality or causal/general equivalence. Claude's final prose
still gives an attachment ID without a clickable URL, although the
registered revised artifact passes the original download oracle.
Completion before any new child result exists, removal of unfinished
dependencies and broader instruction reduction remain separate
questions. There is no schema or prompt change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, shell execution
and code editing. The exact serving model ID, reasoning setting and
context window are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip e38d6d16b6 feat(connections): add advanced provider setup and live browser qualification (#15341)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users connect accounts and choose an agent harness and model.
> - The runtime change in #14970 supports custom providers on those
connections.
> - Normal setup must stay simple while advanced users can choose a
compatible gateway.
> - Shared connector rows and access controls keep these choices
consistent.
> - This pull request refines the agent setup UI and adds review stories
and repeatable browser qualification.
> - The qualification checks real tools and downloaded outputs, not only
a successful run status.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14970, #37, #13083, #14104, #14565, #12692.

The core implementation in #14970 is merged. This branch incorporates
its squash commit and targets `master`. Both PRs contain our
implementation. #14016 is a reference only and is not a dependency. This
PR has 96 changed files.

## What Changed

- Complete model-provider connector presentation beside other
connectors. Each row uses the existing Connect action and connection
list. Tags are stored without category UI. The base PR includes the
provider forms and routes.
- Show persistent Subscription, API Key, and Advanced choices. Label
Advanced as Custom Gateway. Reuse provider logos, connection lists, and
permissions controls. Default access to the organization and all agents
when permitted; keep narrowing controls under Advanced.
- Keep Configure reachable before subscription sign-in, so users can
select a supported environment when the default cannot sign in. Testing
and saving still require a connection. Show the execution environment in
Configure. Preserve the confirmed Connect choice. Editing a method,
credential, saved account, or advanced choice requires that current
choice to connect before testing or saving. Use matching model and
thinking-effort dropdowns and retain connection icons in selected
values.
- Preserve the new harness model default when switching an existing
OpenCode agent to Codex or Claude, and resolve user-selected model names
with the effective harness.
- Load popular OpenRouter models through the shared connection-model
discovery path. Keep explicit model lists and manual model entry
available.
- Group onboarding, connection setup, agent runtime, management,
recovery, and production-component stories under AI Connections /
Provider routing.
- Add an explicit-only provider-connections browser suite for managed
local or existing local/staging targets. Use private browser profiles
and credential handoffs. Support human-assisted subscription sign-in
without sharing passwords or tokens in reports.
- Verify persisted connection identity, runtime probes, tool execution,
exact artifact bytes, completion, and context-dependent follow-up.
Retain source/model provenance, cost bounds, closed error diagnostics,
original failures, and cleanup evidence.
- Add Gemini startup-model and skill-root fixes, Grok private-history
detection, ACP filesystem regression fixtures, selected-workspace
handling for local Hermes, and artifact-helper workspace fallback.
- Keep managed Grok runtime homes disposable. Remove host-side
transcript retention/restoration because private file modes do not
isolate same-user agent processes. Ignore earlier development archives
and use a fresh task handoff when history is unavailable. Verify the
absence of restored transcripts with a separate same-user process.
- Capture stopped-run diagnostics before deleting an attached-company
fixture agent. Track creation and owned sign-in receipts; revoke only
this attempt's accounts and never adopt a concurrent campaign's newly
created account. Preserve failure signals and final status through
cleanup.
- Require the requested environment in the saved agent and every run,
including follow-ups. Reject a forced incompatible target. Keep one
cancellation state through startup, every cell, reporting, and teardown
for SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGHUP. Stop further paid cells after
interruption. Document qualification limits.

## Verification

- Current head `b3bb3e94d577d43d9965a6b9daba039f599b2e49` includes
master `d9f600043`. The security fix in `a758fde31` passes full
workspace typecheck, production build, and 119 connection/Grok
regressions. The unchanged UI passes all 126
configuration/model-discovery tests and token gates. The final
published-guide correction passes Grok adapter typecheck. Earlier head
`eebd8225c` passed the complete deterministic runner suite (1,404 Vitest
tests and 128 Node tests) and all CI jobs. Current-head CI run
`37520147514` passed all 47 jobs, including the full sharded Vitest and
browser matrix, production build, and canary dry run. All 55 checks
completed: 53 successes and two expected skips. The current-head
security scan passed, Greptile is 5/5, and no review threads remain
open.
- A separate same-user process reproduced reading a restored Grok
transcript before the security fix. The regression now finds no
transcript. Existing fresh-session fallback and ordinary session
metadata behavior pass.
- The final account-choice and cleanup fixes pass 85 setup tests and 26
qualification-harness tests. Regressions verify that editing a
connection invalidates confirmation, Configure remains reachable before
sign-in, diagnostics are captured before fixture deletion, and
concurrent campaigns cannot adopt or revoke each other's accounts. UI
and E2E typechecks pass.
- The Storybook build and actual Chromium production-component stories
passed during this change. Review the neighboring AI Connections /
Provider routing stories, regular connector rows, three connection
modes, model discovery, and the single execution-environment control in
Configure.
- Cancellation smoke verified authenticated cleanup before browser close
for SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGHUP. Regressions cover interruption during
startup and reporting, missing-file ACP resource errors, and preserved
permission denials. Both ACP runtime versions and 54 ACPX/Grok
regressions passed. The deterministic connection-intent browser suite
passed two tests.
- Historical local qualification retained 43 passing API/gateway cells
out of 46, with downloaded outputs and follow-up receipts. These
attempts span earlier builds; they do not qualify this exact commit or
staging. Subscription combinations, Gemini overloads, and the unresolved
follow-up failure remain recorded rather than counted as passing.
- Use `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list --suite provider-connections` to
inspect the matrix. Follow `tests/runner-e2e/PROVIDER-CONNECTIONS.md`
for credentials, target URL, sign-in assistance, budget, evidence, and
cleanup. Paid live tests remain opt-in.

## Risks

- The core implementation in #14970 is merged. This PR adds no database
migration of its own.
- Subscription login needs an interactive provider session. Dedicated
accounts and staging qualification remain follow-up work; this PR does
not certify every login combination for production.
- Managed Grok transcript resume is deferred until provider history has
an OS isolation or authorized broker solution. Follow-ups start fresh
with Paperclip task context; earlier live Grok results do not qualify
this behavior.
- Gemini CLI 0.58.0 has an upstream ACP new-file error conversion
defect. Live overloads and one unresolved follow-up timeout remain
recorded. The stock CLI is unchanged, and those cases are not marked as
passing.
- Real-provider tests spend credits and use private credential/evidence
directories. The launcher requires explicit selection and checks target
ownership. It must not attach to a developer's database by accident.
- OpenClaw Gateway, Hermes Gateway, Claude Managed, AWS AgentCore,
Process, HTTP, and legacy ACPX local remain outside custom provider
setup.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 22a3ea3414 Invite assistants from Connections with scoped browser and device consent (#14933)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Public MCP lets people use their organization from an external
assistant.
> - Operators need a visible control for this experimental access.
> - Hosted users should select an organization once and then approve its
permissions.
> - This pull request adds the setting, invitation-first setup, and
browser or device consent.
> - Connections provides a copyable invitation with public instructions
that grant no access.
> - Users reach browser consent from their assistant and return to
inspect or revoke access.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged foundation #14846. This PR now targets master. Related
settings convention: #13905.

**Current behavior**

The preview uses an environment variable to enable MCP. Hosted consent
repeats organization selection. Assistant access has no entry in
Connections, so users must already know the endpoint and how to reach
consent.

**Proposed behavior**

An administrator enables Settings → Experimental → Assistant connections
(MCP). A hosted connection shows the selected organization and its icon,
then asks for permissions. Requested write access starts checked when
the user’s role permits it; the user can opt out before connecting.
Direct instance connections show an organization picker with the first
available organization selected. The selection stays fixed across
refetches and still requires an explicit Connect action. Connections
includes Assistant Connection (MCP). Its setup page explains the
canonical endpoint, client configuration, browser authentication, and
connected access. It connects as the current person and does not select
or impersonate an agent.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators manage access with the other experiments. Users select one
organization, and both the UI and server enforce that choice.

**Breaking changes**

The old enable variable has no effect. Preview operators must enable the
setting once. Apply the additive consent-request migration before
deploying the tenant, then deploy the compatible Cloud broker. Existing
direct requests and grants keep their behavior.

## What Changed

- Simplify OAuth and device consent: show the Paperclip logo beside
“Connect {client} to Paperclip”, fall back to “your assistant”, and show
the identifying origin plus its favicon below, with the callback URL
also visible when different. Remove the hosted-organization creation
action. Default to the first available organization without silently
changing it on refetch; preserve company restrictions and write
opt-outs. Keep the button row contained on narrow screens.
- Make Copy invitation the primary action, using the shared animated
AgentSetupPrompt and a collapsed manual setup section with icon-labeled
line tabs. Remove redundant link actions, copy-status text, the extra
first-prompt well and revocation explanation from the setup page. Serve
shared version-aware HTML and Markdown instructions without private
organization data.
- Support guarded Client ID Metadata Documents alongside dynamic
registration, and include authorization response issuer identification.
- Add RFC 8628 device authorization with separately hashed codes,
expiry, shared request quotas, persistent polling backoff and atomic
redemption. Reuse human consent, role checks, scoped grants, audit and
revocation.
- Add CLI device login and a local stdio bridge. Store credentials
separately with private permissions and serialize rotating refreshes.
- Add device consent stories and five cold-start paid Product E2E cases
with independent grant, configuration and durable-work assertions.

- Add `enablePublicMcp` to the settings validator, normalizer, feature
catalog, and toggle UI. Check it live for OAuth, tools, subscriptions,
and event delivery. Keep connection management and revocation available
while disabled.
- Default the MCP origin to the existing auth public URL, with strict
validation and an explicit override.
- Persist the optional OAuth `company_id` restriction. Describe only
that company and reject approval for any other company, even if the
person belongs to both. Keep active-membership and role checks.
- Show the Paperclip icon and a large organization icon during consent.
Return the saved company logo through the company-scoped request
response and reuse the standard fallback icon. Use the requested concise
permission labels: “Read all of your Paperclip data” and “Allow write
access and creating tasks as me”. Use concise permission copy, retain a
compact client and callback-origin disclosure, and remove the footer
link.
- Default requested write access on for eligible roles. Preserve opt-out
across organization changes and refetch, reset defaults for a new
request, and submit read-only access when the request or role does not
allow writes. Align the shared checkbox with its label.
- Use organization wording in consent, management, settings, and
walkthroughs. Keep the organization fixed for hosted requests and retain
direct-instance choice.
- Add an Assistant Connection (MCP) card to the Connectors catalog, a
setup page in the app shell, and a return link from Experimental
settings. Include Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and generic remote MCP
instructions.
- Read the live gate and canonical server URL through authenticated
setup metadata. Show only the current person’s grants for the selected
organization, refresh after consent, and support revocation. Surface
catalog status failures with an explicit retry action; do not present
them as an empty connection list. Opening setup grants no authority.
- Start the eight guided chapters in Connections. Keep presenter notes
and chapter controls around real product pages in the app shell. Explain
the terminal, consent, delegation, retrieval, and revocation handoffs.
Mark conversation examples as illustrative. Cover first use, client
setup, connected, loading, and error states. Keep the existing consent
and management stories.
- Keep the paid-eval setup and browser helper aligned with the setting
and consent button.

## Verification

- Warm-standby integration fix `ec64ea05e`: public MCP ingress now
follows the Cloud claim guard; MCP and discovery paths return 503
instead of SPA HTML while unclaimed. Event polling checks the in-memory
claim before reading the persisted experimental setting. All 97 focused
OAuth/Cloud tests and server typecheck pass, including new request and
timer regressions for idle-before-claim and resume-after-claim behavior.
Fresh review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads, and all security scans
pass on this final head. All browser shards, typecheck, build, canary
installation and other test groups passed on the first attempt. The
unchanged Cursor sandbox default-command test timed out at 10 seconds;
the exact test passed locally without edits in 587 ms. The single
failed-job retry passed, with the original failure retained in workflow
37500711895. All 54 final-head checks pass on
`ec64ea05e9a03e2179d4e2f84c2de03761f7ce26` (two optional Storybook jobs
are intentionally skipped).

- Final master integration `8457828fc`: merged foundation #14846 and
current master, preserving the invitation changes and all 33 files from
the two newer upstream changes. No migration renumbering was required.
All 95 focused OAuth/Cloud integration tests, full recursive typecheck
and token gates pass. All CI gates passed on that integration head;
review identified the warm-standby issue fixed above.

- Security-review fix `8c1d0b696`: commit shared global/per-source
admission before outbound CIMD work, preserve failed-attempt receipts,
and validate resource/scope before fetching. Added migration
`0305_chubby_vin_gonzales.sql` and six concurrent/adversarial regression
cases. All 69 OAuth/metadata tests, 26 migration checks, full recursive
typecheck and production build pass. The security scanner passed that
commit. Follow-up `87f9658e7` limits only actual cache-miss fetches; 18
authorization requests sharing one proxy across two service instances
use just two fetches. All 70 OAuth/metadata tests and server typecheck
pass after that refinement. Final follow-up `8ebeae84c` reports
admission-storage failures as retryable HTTP 503 instead of invalid
client metadata. Its regression proves no outbound request before
admission and successful retry after storage recovers. All 71
OAuth/metadata tests and server typecheck pass. Final-head security
scanning passes; Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. CI passed
all browser shards, typecheck, build, token gates and canary
installation. One unchanged adapter-utils bridge test raced a
response-file write (expected a JSON error, received the safe
file-changed error). The exact test passed locally without edits. The
single failed-job retry passed; the original failure is retained in
workflow 37490609192. All 54 checks now pass on final head
`8ebeae84ca77c0cf7ac12c2006f0f8743fe50e0b`, with security scan and fresh
Greptile 5/5 and no unresolved threads. Foundation #14846 subsequently
merged as `e34abee670069cca84afb2efb86041bce7dccbec`; the final
integration above now targets master.

- Integration with current master: preserved the new Connections source
filters and pagination, kept all eval suites, and regenerated the
consent/device snapshots as migrations 0303/0304. All four MCP migration
SQL hashes are unchanged from the staging versions. Full recursive
typecheck and production build, 132 focused UI tests (including catalog
filtering), 89 server authorization/settings tests, 26 migration tests,
120 eval calibration tests and token gates pass. Review follow-up
`4820ce74c` also keeps active assistant grants in Installed, with
pending/error recovery and revocation/company-isolation coverage. All 76
setup/catalog tests, UI typecheck and token gates pass after that fix.
The unchanged signoff browser test timed out waiting for a heartbeat in
CI at `4820ce74c`; the exact test passed locally without code changes,
and the preceding CI head passed that shard. That same unchanged test
failed at the reviewer stage in the next CI run. All five signoff tests
passed three times locally (15/15), without test changes. All eight
browser shards pass at final head `8ebeae84c`; no browser-test edits or
failed-browser-job retries were needed.

- Setup-page refinement at `9ab009178`: all 17 focused setup/consent
tests pass, along with UI typecheck, production build, Storybook build
and token gates. Browser exercised the shared prompt preview and client
tab switching, and the updated InvitationCopied Storybook interaction
checks its clipboard fixture. All final-head CI checks pass at
`9ab009178`, with no unresolved review findings. Deployed successfully
to Butter in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/37475189524.
Verified the actual page, tab switching and line styling, removed
actions/copy, and successful native copy/paste of the complete Butter
invitation into a local-only test field. The existing Claude grant was
left intact.
- Consent follow-up at `dc8e9fd11`: all 10 consent tests and token gates
pass. UI typecheck and production build passed again at `4e4d5e4d9`;
Storybook build and eval-helper typecheck passed for `28101cf91`.
Follow-ups let the primary button wrap on narrow screens, preserve a
distinct callback URL, and use only bundled icons to avoid pre-consent
requests to client-selected sites. Browser-verified the real consent
component in desktop and 320px mobile stories, including default
selection, write access and preserved opt-out. Updated E2E
heading/default-selection helpers. All CI checks passed at `dc8e9fd11`,
with review 5/5 and no unresolved threads. The Butter preview
publication needed a retry because npm initially accepted the DB package
before making it visible; the retry succeeded and `dc8e9fd11` deployed.
Verified a fresh, unapproved native Codex CIMD request on Butter:
default organization/write selection, known-client heading and icon,
distinct callback origin, and removed creation action. No grant was
approved for this UI check. Prior paid runs below retain their exact
source provenance; this UI-only follow-up did not rerun paid
qualification.
- Source-pinned paid matrix at
`2992ef2710f47230e7f484c709c6ba02524f884c`: **15/15 passed**, five cases
each on GPT-5.4 Mini, Claude Haiku and Sonnet. Campaign
`local-2026-10-06T02-41-14-462Z`. Covers cold start, existing config,
unavailable host, denied consent and reconnect/later retrieval, with
independent configuration/grant/task/run/document assertions. Original
failures, transcripts, source fingerprints and billing remain retained.
- Final instruction follow-up `cda8178af`: **3/3 cold starts passed** on
Mini, Haiku and Sonnet. Campaign `local-2026-10-06T02-58-30-041Z`.
Latest `0637b9f1c` shares that same guidance across HTML, Markdown and
manual UI after review; generated Markdown is verified byte-identical to
the paid-evaluated version. Shared build, server/UI typechecks, token
gates and 63 auth/metadata tests passed again. Every CI gate passed at
prior HEAD `0637b9f1c`, with review 5/5 and no unresolved threads.
- Other focused checks: 11 CLI credential/refresh-lock tests, 120 eval
calibration tests, server/UI/eval typechecks, token gates and Storybook
build passed. Full recursive typecheck and production build passed
during implementation; CI also passed them at `2992ef271`.
- Local full-suite limitations: a large-file Git streaming test times
out on this Mac, and broader CLI/route runs hit DB hook timeouts. Fresh
MCP reruns passed, and the corresponding CI groups passed. No claim that
the local full suite is green.
- Actual clients: Codex 0.153.4 and Claude Code 2.1.245 reach CIMD
consent; device CLI reaches verification/consent. New grants await human
approval. Existing local OpenCode retrieved a saved result in a fresh
conversation through its previously approved grant.
- Fresh OpenCode 1.18.17 on Butter: started with no MCP config, received
the exact copied invitation, read public setup, configured its server
and started PKCE consent. Its shell command timed out; background retry
reached the client's own callback deadline while approval remained
pending. Latest instructions cover that handoff. **No completed Butter
read/delegation/result retrieval is claimed.**
- Cloud companion
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/672 passes
checks/review and deployed. Anonymous setup and device-protocol routing
verified. Core `2992ef271` deployed successfully and the actual Claude
web flow now reaches consent. Its extra JWT-bearer metadata is filtered
to implemented grants; unsupported token grants remain rejected. Final
`0637b9f1c` deployed successfully to Butter in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/37409195300;
live HTML and Markdown both contain the final guidance. The superseded
instruction-only build was canceled before deployment. This is a
core-only staging preview; private Cloud plugins are omitted. ChatGPT
web is signed out, so browser connector use is unverified.
- Screenshot gallery begins at Butter's dashboard and distinguishes real
setup/pending consent from local reuse and fixtures. It records the
timeout finding. New persistent access needs human confirmation before
the remaining actual-client acceptance work.
- Manual path: Connectors → Assistant Connection (MCP) → Copy invitation
→ paste into assistant → configure and start authorization → sign in and
approve → verify `paperclip_connection` → delegate → retrieve the saved
report later.
- Plan and instructions: `doc/plans/2026-10-05-assistant-invitations.md`
and `doc/public-mcp.md`.

## Risks

- Apply additive, replay-safe migration `0304_curvy_shadow_king.sql`
before using device authorization. The public setup link carries no
credential. Device codes and tokens stay private; neither sharing
instructions nor installing a plugin authorizes access.
- Apply additive migration `0305_chubby_vin_gonzales.sql` before
deploying the shared metadata admission gate. It retains at most 60
short-lived, hashed-source receipts per instance and rejects excess
attempts with 429.
- CIMD metadata fetching is a new external-input boundary. It requires
HTTPS, exact client ID and redirect validation, bounded responses and
guarded DNS/network access. Client names remain self-reported.
- Device support is per-instance. The central Cloud broker retains its
existing grant support. Host installation and tool reload capabilities
vary by client; instructions describe manual settings and restart
requirements.

- Consent names the registered client in its heading and displays its
identifying origin below. Known-origin icons are bundled; all other
origins show a neutral site icon without contacting client-selected
sites. Client names are self-reported; the callback origin is the
recipient check. The Cloud chooser also displays the original client and
receiving origin before tenant handoff.

- A user who accepts the preselected write permission can create tasks
and comments. Task creation and comments can start or wake agents and
use execution budget; the consent label uses the concise wording
explicitly requested by the maintainer. Scope requests, role checks, and
the final Connect action still apply.
- Migration `0303_supreme_garia.sql` adds one nullable UUID column with
`IF NOT EXISTS`. Requests without a company restriction keep the
direct-instance picker. The binding stays recorded if its company is
deleted; consent then fails closed.
- Deploy tenant support before the Cloud broker sends `company_id`.
Unknown or inaccessible organizations must never fall back to a
different company.
- The setting defaults off. Disabling access does not cancel work
already delegated. Existing tokens and unexpired subscriptions can
resume when enabled again; revocation remains separate.
- The catalog entry is visible for discovery while the feature is off.
Setup instructions, OAuth, and tool execution remain gated. No access is
granted by viewing the entry.
- Assistant sign-in starts in the external client so it owns PKCE and
callback state. Client command syntax can change and links to official
setup documentation are included.
- An authenticated instance and valid public URL are required. Hosting,
paid execution, and store publication remain separate rollout steps.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip e34abee670 feat(mcp): connect assistants to a team with user OAuth (#14846)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip gives teams durable tasks, agent execution, budgets, and
approvals.
> - People also use assistants in Codex, Claude, and other MCP clients.
> - Those assistants need a scoped connection that preserves the
person’s permissions and attribution.
> - Delegating a task must not turn the assistant into the assigned
agent.
> - This PR adds opt-in user OAuth, ten first-party tools, browser
consent, and workflow packages.
> - Paid product evals verify the resulting tasks, documents,
attribution, retries, and access boundaries.
> - The team keeps working after the assistant conversation ends.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

A person cannot connect an external assistant to an existing team
through browser consent and safely delegate durable work as themselves.

**Proposed solution**

Expose an opt-in `/mcp/paperclip` endpoint with individually described
first-party operations. Bind every connection to a person, client,
company, resource, and scopes. Reuse domain authorization and
scheduling. Package shared team-review, delegation, and follow-up
workflows for OpenAI/Codex and Claude.

**Alternatives considered**

Related PRs #9393 and #12549 cover earlier remote MCP and board-operator
approaches. This change uses user OAuth and a bounded public catalog. It
does not expose a generic executor, operator administration, static
shared board credentials, or external agent execution. Registry listing
work in #9851 is a separate distribution step.

**Roadmap alignment**

This maintainer-requested implementation extends the governed MCP
gateway, activity attribution, durable work products, and hosted
deployment direction in `ROADMAP.md`. It implements the first release of
the saved design plan; external agent participation and granted
third-party tools remain later releases.

## What Changed

- Add MCP 2.0 discovery and task status/comment/document Events on the
same authenticated endpoint. Persist subscriptions and delivery
receipts, verify HTTPS callbacks, sign Standard Webhooks, encrypt
callback material, recheck permissions/Cloud membership, and bound
retries/expiry. Older MCP clients keep their existing tools.
- Add discovery, dynamic client registration, S256 PKCE, resource
validation, rotating refresh tokens, revocation, and company consent.
Store credentials as hashes and recheck membership at execution.
- Add tools for connection identity, agents/projects, task
search/read/create, human comments, documents/deliverables, and
pending-approval links. Preserve current domain permissions and
scheduling.
- Add durable mutation receipts across reconnects. Matching retries
replay results; uncertain outcomes keep the same request ID and require
inspection.
- Add consent and connection-management pages, OAuth log redaction,
shared plugin workflows, and separate OpenAI/Codex and Claude package
outputs.
- Add eight paid Product E2E cases across three models, independent
durable-state grading, usage evidence, cleanup, and report integration.
Add task-document guidance and regenerate the runner capability
inventories.
- Add migrations 0301 and 0302, the dated implementation plan, result
notes, and direct-client setup instructions in `doc/public-mcp.md`.

## Verification

- Merge integration `e180b1948`: resolved conflicts with current master,
preserved both eval registries, regenerated capability catalogs, and
regenerated migrations as 0301/0302 while keeping the original
replay-safe SQL byte-identical. Local migration safety/snapshot tests
(26), MCP/OAuth tests (38), redaction/OpenAPI tests (71), and eval
catalog/grading tests (198) pass. Token and capability gates pass. Full
recursive typecheck passed. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no
unresolved findings. CI is green on this exact head (55 successes, two
intentional skips, one neutral result): one unchanged Cursor sandbox
test timed out at 10 seconds, then passed locally in 856 ms. A single
retry of that failed shard and the aggregate workflow passed. Merge
remains blocked on the repository code-owner approval rule.

Earlier checks passed at `6aa0962d4fb715f2190bb7bb22efacab2e58495d`: 55
successes, two intentional skips and one neutral result. [The earlier CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36901592350)
includes all test shards, browser tests, typecheck, build and canary dry
run. Greptile was 5/5 on that commit with no unresolved review threads.
GitHub still requires code-owner review under the repository merge
rules; passing checks do not bypass that approval. Paid source
fingerprints remain separate below and in the dated result note.

- Paid Events qualification passes **3/3**: GPT-5.4 Mini, Claude Haiku
4.5 and Claude Sonnet 4.6. Each uses a real public HTTPS callback,
signature verification and report retrieval in a fresh conversation. A
final Mini regression passes after the quota/status fixes. All evidence
validates. Bounded tunnel startup retries occur before provider calls
and remain visible; failed earlier attempts retain their original
grades.
- The earlier complete seven-case matrix passes **21/21**, with a
separate **3/3** delegation regression. Two preceding matrices also
passed 21/21 each. A complete 24-cell matrix including Events has not
been run. [The dated
results](doc/plans/2026-10-01-public-mcp-paid-eval-results.md) retain
exact source fingerprints, failures, model IDs and partial costs.
- Node 24: repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass
after merging master. Server typecheck passes after the final
quota/status changes. Eval typecheck and all 892 eval-support tests
pass.
- All 33 real MCP/OAuth tests pass. The preceding combined MCP,
redaction, private-address and DNS-rebinding run passed 129 tests; two
later MCP regressions cover quota reuse and unchanged-status
suppression. All 28 adjacent issue-tree/stale-lock route tests pass. CI
then found a null checkout result in the existing concurrent-workspace
path; logging now uses optional status access. All 12 closed-workspace
tests and all 33 MCP tests pass after that correction. The exact-start
event calibration exposed a timestamp gap; scanning now includes the
subscription start, with all 33 MCP tests and server typecheck passing.
These two narrow corrections follow the paid regression.
- A real Core → Cloud → Core authority round trip passes OAuth, MCP 2.0
subscription/delivery, current membership loss, unsubscribe, legacy SDK
tools, refresh and revocation. Its callback transport is a fixture with
independent HMAC verification. The paid Events campaigns separately
prove public HTTPS delivery.
- Earlier component qualification passed UI 7,117 tests, CLI 502, shared
832, skills catalog 20, database 160 and OpenAPI 10. Token gates, module
boundaries, migration order and plugin regeneration passed. CI covers
general/serialized suites, eight browser shards, runner checks,
typecheck, build and canary dry run.
- **Local full-suite limitation:** the earlier monolithic run was not
clean. It encountered overlapping schema rebuilding, Mac database
shared-memory limits and isolated CLI/fixture failures. Targeted reruns
passed. The existing >32 MiB Git filename stress test still hit its
300-second Mac timeout. The additional serialized sweep stopped after 62
passing suites once CI passed. Original failures and partial logs
remain; this PR does not claim a wholly green local monolithic run.
- Local Codex CLI and Claude Code OAuth login and MCP SDK
interoperability were verified. Public-store installation, actual
ChatGPT Work Cloud Events UI, staging HTTPS client behavior and hosted
newcomer provisioning remain release gates.

Enablement is moving to **Settings → Experimental → Assistant
connections (MCP)** in the stacked follow-up
[#14933](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/14933). Merge
both for the intended setup experience. This foundation branch alone
still uses `PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_MCP_ENABLED=true`. After deployment, set
`PAPERCLIP_PUBLIC_URL` to the authenticated instance's HTTPS origin, and
connect to `/mcp/paperclip`. Select a team and allow writes in browser
consent. Configure an available agent and budget, then delegate and
retrieve results later. For Events, rescan the deployed plugin catalog
in ChatGPT Work Cloud; the host supplies its webhook credentials when
the user asks to watch a task. See [the setup
runbook](doc/public-mcp.md).

## Risks

- Events are at-least-once and may arrive out of order. No replay cursor
is advertised. Clients must refresh finite subscriptions, read current
state and avoid comment feedback loops. Callback material uses the
instance secrets master key; hosted subscriptions require the updated
Cloud broker and are bounded to five minutes/the access proof expiry.
- ChatGPT Work Cloud/dot event UI, plugin rescan and a hosted staging
subscription remain deployment gates. Local signed-webhook and paid
model evidence does not claim those surfaces have been exercised.
- Disabled by default. Merging adds schema and opt-in code; it does not
deploy a public endpoint, publish a store listing, create a team, or
start paid agents.
- Migrations 0301 and 0302 are additive and idempotent. Their SQL is
unchanged from the earlier preview numbers, so hash-aware upgrade
reconciliation preserves prior staging applications. Normal instance
upgrades must apply it before enabling MCP.
- Task creation and comments can schedule paid agent work. Consent and
tool descriptions disclose that effect. Revocation blocks future calls
but does not undo delegated work.
- Public deployments need edge rate limits and credential-safe logging.
Internal dispatch is restricted to the closed catalog and carries a
request-local verified actor.
- Hosted onboarding requires the companion Cloud broker, encryption-key
configuration, and tenant rollout. Self-hosted direct connections can
use this PR alone.
- Store acceptance and agent-mode participation are not claimed.
Checked-in plugin endpoints are development defaults; rebuild packages
for a real deployment before installation.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with reasoning, tool use, and code execution. A
more specific serving version and context-window size were not exposed
by the session. Paid eval models: `gpt-5.4-mini-2026-03-17`,
`claude-haiku-4-5-20251001`, and `claude-sonnet-4-6`.

DottaandPaperclip 16b7db35ff Shorten planning skills and measure task decomposition (#15296)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - Planning guidance helps agents choose owners and dependencies.
> - The runtime skill favors few tasks, but the catalog skill requires a
child-task breakdown.
> - Both add repeated process instructions that can distract from the
requested outcome.
> - This change keeps the ownership and dependency rules and removes the
required matrix and repeated checklist.
> - A bounded Product E2E comparison measures saved outcomes and task
handoffs before qualification.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11057. Related measurement work: #15218.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Planning and delegation through the runtime plan-to-tasks and bundled
task-planning skills.

**Current behavior**
The two skills contain about 1,900 words and conflicting guidance on
whether plans require child tasks.

**Proposed behavior**
Keep cohesive work with one owner. Split only for a real owner, parallel
output, dependency, independent review, or follow-up lifecycle. Preserve
existing authorization and planning mechanics.

## What Changed

- Shorten both skills to about 400 words combined. Preserve their keys
and installed-version behavior.
- Remove the duplicate operational-skill pointer and regenerate affected
source metadata.
- Add twelve explicit Product E2E cells: four scenarios with current,
short and disabled planning skills.
- Use the current task composer and actual create-response ID; calibrate
public skill APIs and browser creation without providers.
- Eliminate an observed collision in chat-test company prefixes with a
per-suite sequence.
- Grade saved documents, exact author/run attribution, child count,
prerequisite execution order, review boundaries and completion handoffs.
- Retain current skill bytes and report source, selections, run
accounting and failures.

## Verification

- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`: pass.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 1,287 Vitest tests and 128 Node checks
pass.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --list --suite plan-task-guidance`: twelve
local Codex cells.
- Archived current skills match master
`72ff3a9f27e581a27acb49771e8658bbb0bbaa47` exactly.
- Corrected fixture: three real public-API/database calibrations pass
with zero provider runs; all 35 evaluator checks and Product E2E
typecheck pass.
- Setup campaign
[37399550253](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37399550253)
was canceled after source review found unsupported bundled edits and
automatic core reinstallation. Its paid-cell step was skipped: zero
provider runs, no behavioral grade.
- The next setup
[37401094799](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37401094799)
failed before task creation on the old title-field selector: zero actual
runs, original FAIL retained, cleanup passed. A real browser/API
calibration of the new helper passes with paused non-provider agents and
zero runs.
- Full local typecheck/build pass. Full local tests retain one unchanged
five-minute Git streaming timeout (also fails isolated), 9,591 passes
and 5,796 skips. CI's chat failure was a proven random fixture-prefix
collision; five affected cases pass after the test-only repair.
- Paid behavior comparison and new-head CI/review remain pending. This
PR remains a draft.

## Risks

- The shorter text may change delegation decisions. Live outcomes are
not yet qualified.
- The initial comparison uses one profile and one attempt per cell. It
cannot establish cross-model reliability or cost trends.
- Disabled means unassigned company-owned copies; the company library
remains discoverable. This does not qualify global removal, automatic
accepted-plan wiring changes, or installed-copy migration.
- Skill availability does not prove a model read or cognitively used it.
- No provider/tool protocol, permission, timeout or runtime lifecycle
behavior changes in production.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with repository inspection, code editing and tool
use. The exact backend model ID and context-window size are not exposed
in this session. The declared eval model is native Codex `gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip 72ff3a9f27 Measure native tool context and expand bounded workflow evals (#15218)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages persistent agents and their assigned work.
> - Agents receive both fixed instructions and tool definitions.
> - Moving a procedure into a tool description still adds model context.
> - We need to measure the complete delivered catalog and test real
outcomes.
> - The tested reductions saved little space and introduced failing
outcomes.

evidence.
> - Production prompts, tools and runtime behavior stay unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #15151, #14961, #14948, #14985.

This adds the measurement and eval coverage needed to assess further
native
instruction changes. The attempted hiring and dependency reduction
failed
qualification and is excluded from the final diff.

## What Changed

- Measure the actual standard-mode tool authority, including all 39
tools and their input schemas. Capture scripted native start, resume and
continuation payloads and the OpenCode MCP declaration list.
- Add OpenCode to the two explicit-only local hiring/reuse and
delegation/feedback stories. Preserve the original task requests and
independent oracles.
- Apply one attempt per selected story and explicit company and
lead-agent budget stops.
- Select managed hiring credentials from the requested profile,
including OpenRouter.
- Run the existing Node test files under Node instead of collecting them
as Vitest suites.
- Retain sanitized comparison reports, original failed grades, source
hashes and evidence gaps.

## Verification

Final source: `2e7cef78eef7cdfe02265e0dcb03e855b8e50bd8`. Local
verification passes:

- Full repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`.
- Eval-support unit tests: 1,252 Vitest checks and 128 Node checks.
- Eval TypeScript check and six final-source measurement tests. All 36
normalized
components across nine scripted deliveries and the OpenCode MCP catalog
match
the baseline exactly; the complete standing projection is 49,200 bytes.

Fresh review of this exact head is [5/5 with no remaining
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15218#issuecomment-5996723170);
all three review threads are resolved.
[Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37354539126)
passes all 47 jobs, including repository typecheck, build, tests, runner
checks,
browser shards and the canary check. One initial annotation-test timeout
is
retained in attempt 1; its seven-test suite passed locally, and the
affected
CI lane passed on one targeted retry. No source or paid eval rerun was
needed.

Both ready-transition security scans passed with zero annotations. The
PR is
out of draft and conflict-free. GitHub still requires code-owner
approval for
the `package.json` test-script change; its requested reviewers are
already set.

A byte-for-byte comparison against master context
`a65ca0950834a85bb93bcc4b4042ecacdebfef53` confirms no production
changes under
`packages/` or production `server/` paths. The only server addition is a
measurement test. No new paid rerun is needed to compare unchanged
production
bytes. This does not claim that existing product defects have been
fixed.

The rejected corrected experiment had baseline **5 PASS / 1 FAIL** and
candidate
**3 PASS / 3 FAIL**, including **two newly failing pairs**. The later
readiness
experiment had candidate **3 PASS / 3 FAIL** and baseline **3 PASS / 2
FAIL / one
setup cell without a behavioral grade**. Its five comparable pairs had
two new
failures, two new passes and one unchanged pass. The missing baseline
Codex
cell never reached its provider step because Docker setup timed out.

The observed missing behaviors include parent continuation, waiting for
the
latest child revision, revised ZIP delivery and OpenCode credential
persistence.
Those failures remain failures. Source review and passing CI do not
regrade them.
The original reduction saved 460 bytes; its first repair saved only 125
bytes,
and the larger unqualified runtime repair increased the full projection.
None
of those production changes is shipped here.

Read the
[report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/2e7cef78eef7cdfe02265e0dcb03e855b8e50bd8/doc/plans/2026-10-05-native-procedure-guidance.md)
and its linked sanitized receipts for exact
sources, original campaign links, pair-level results and evidence
limitations.

## Risks

- Full-catalog bytes are not model tokens, invoices, private vendor
prompts, lazy-loading behavior or truncation proof.
- The two stories are explicit-only and do not prove general coding
quality or arbitrary resume behavior. Single trials do not establish
causation or performance trends.
- The retained OpenCode candidate credential guard failed. Cleanup
removed the original provider database, so the precise persistence
mechanism remains unknown. The guard is unchanged.
- ACPX provider-execution IDs lack proven host-call mapping. No
extra-work or feedback-consumption claim is inferred by matching names,
order or counts.
- PostgreSQL cannot start locally while the host's shared-memory slots
are exhausted. Hosted CI must supply the full database checks; the full
local database suite is not claimed green.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip a386a59998 Reduce repeated native completion guidance and preserve final replies (#15151)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native agents receive task constraints and completion tools from
Paperclip.
> - Completion tools already define the procedure for reporting a
result.
> - Repeated procedure text adds instructions to each full task turn.
> - The final reply must still explain a blocker and link a saved
document.
> - This pull request removes repeated procedure text and keeps these
visible outcome requirements explicit.
> - A document receipt supplies the exact link, and stricter evals check
the persisted reply and browser navigation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #14961. Related: #14948 and #15007.

**What happened?**

Native task envelopes repeat completion procedure text. A reduced
envelope needs explicit final-reply requirements. The `write_document`
receipt also lacks a canonical document link.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the completion tools as the source of procedure details. Require
one accepted completion result before the final reply. A blocked reply
must explain the reason, owner and unblock action. A document reply must
contain a working link to the saved document.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run the native assigned-skill document case and native blocker case.
2. Inspect the run-attributed provider final and its persisted comment.
3. Check the blocker explanation or open the final reply's document
link.

## What Changed

- Remove repeated completion procedure text from the native task
constraints and backend instructions.
- Keep explicit blocker and document-link requirements in full task
turns.
- Return a company/task-scoped `documentHref` from `write_document`.
Preserve the link in the idempotent mutation receipt.
- Repeat canonical links for this run's current saved revisions in
accepted completion feedback. Give blocked providers final-response
guidance for the cause, owner and unblock action.
- Keep internal document/comment anchors when Markdown issue links load
cached issue details.
- Add a manual six-cell comparison suite with strict source, build,
default-instruction and budget admission.
- Capture eighteen shared runnerd RPC projections and six direct
OpenCode HTTP projections across start, resume and continuation phases,
using scripted local transports and no provider execution.
- Apply v3 checks only to the manual instruction comparison; preserve v2
checks for the existing native completion suite. Check the actual
persisted blocker reason and exact saved-document link. Click the
rendered document link and check the original content marker in the
classic document card or the new document tab.
- Forward exact OpenCode finishing calls through the controller. Wait
for acceptance, keep accepted feedback and concrete rejection text, and
reject malformed responses. Preserve ordinary dynamic-tool response
handling.
- Settle the completion decision and tool response before mapping a
racing idle/error/abort event or handling explicit close/interruption.
Reject a concurrent finishing call before controller admission.
- Add a provider-free regression through real runnerd, the OpenCode
proxy and a fake provider. Reject the first completion, accept the
corrected report in the same turn, and propose one result.
- Keep all original verdicts unchanged. Treat replay under new checks as
separate diagnostics.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass locally.
- Native document-authority tests pass, including company/run
authorization and idempotent replay.
- Native runtime-context, backend and measurement tests pass.
- Final-answer calibration, protocol scoring, source-admission and
catalog tests pass. Wrong reasons, absent links and wrong link targets
fail.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passes. Discovery lists exactly six
single-attempt local cells with the declared models.
- Exported `prepareNativeInstructionPreflight` then
`verifyNativeInstructionPreflight` pass on this clean committed source.
They build locally and make zero provider calls.
- Corrective live confirmation is incomplete. Source 3a7349d passed both
Claude and both Codex cases. OpenCode saved the correct document but
omitted its final link; its blocker case was canceled before paid
execution. Preserve this failure. The e171282 confirmation was stopped
during build after fresh review found a completion-settlement race; it
executed zero providers. Source c3e0cb303 fixes that race. Two affected
OpenCode cases await fresh review and one bounded confirmation; earlier
results remain attributed to their original source.
- OpenCode proxy parsing, driver, factory and input tests: 81 pass
across retained focused runs, including six settlement races.
Evaluator/scoring/admission checks: 122 pass. The real proxy regression
passes. Fresh local prepare then verify passes with 18 shared and 6
direct scripted captures, fresh SDK/Rust builds and zero providers.
- The full local suite recorded two failures: a webhook timeout and a
Git-scan load count mismatch. Both files pass in isolation with
unchanged assertions/time budgets; preserve the original failure log.
Fresh c3e0cb303 CI and review are pending. This PR remains draft.

## Risks

- Final-answer wording can vary by provider. The checks cover the
declared release-access blocker and saved document fixture, not general
answer quality.
- A single trial does not establish general equivalence, cause, speed,
cost or live resume behavior.
- `documentHref` is an additive receipt field. It points to the current
saved document, not an immutable historical revision. Replaying an older
receipt does not fabricate a new link.
- The correction adds four production paths for document receipts,
accepted completion feedback and UI navigation, plus four OpenCode
controller/proxy paths, beyond the original three instruction paths.
Completion rejection must remain repairable; the production-boundary
regression covers it.
- Preserve the frozen comparison context for live measurement. A
merge-tree check against current master is clean. Do not relabel earlier
live results as results from a later source tree.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and context
window are unavailable in this session. Capabilities used: reasoning,
code editing, shell execution, test authoring and evidence review.

DottaandPaperclip b17019e14d fix(agents): reduce default instructions and qualify stock harnesses (#14948)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its adapters supply task context and access to Paperclip skills and
tools.
> - The default hire manual and shared prompts also repeat general work
procedures.
> - Those procedures overlap with stock provider instructions and the
Paperclip skill.
> - Existing E2E fixtures supply a QA manual, so they do not qualify the
production default.
> - This pull request reduces the generic instructions and adds real
default-hire coverage.
> - The benefit is less competing guidance, with inspectable evidence
for preserved skills and task context.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #14920. That merged change preserves native Codex base
instructions. This PR covers the default manual, shared legacy prompts,
operational skill guidance, and the narrowly approved ACP
skill-discovery/session-environment repair for measured delivery and
credential-persistence failures.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

New non-CEO hires without a custom bundle and legacy task/chat startup
and continuation prompts.

**Current behavior**

The shipped default manual contains 602 words. Generic task/chat prompts
and ordinary resume deltas repeat work procedures already available
through the harness and Paperclip skill.

**Proposed behavior**

The default manual contains only the eight-word company identity. Shared
startup prompts retain identity and connection guidance. Ordinary resume
deltas retain current work context without the generic execution
contract.

**Reason and benefit**

Let the stock harness guide general work. Keep Paperclip-specific
capabilities and independently test default hires, skills, ordered
comments, and chat restart.

**Breaking changes**

New default hires receive less guidance. Existing saved manuals,
explicit custom bundles, CEO templates, and specialized wake contracts
retain their behavior. The obsolete includeExecutionContract option
remains accepted for source compatibility.

## What Changed

- Reduce the default hire manual to one sentence.
- Reduce shared task/chat defaults and remove the generic
ordinary-resume contract.
- Keep connection guidance, auth, skills, custom prompts, and
specialized wake context.
- Add credential-free instruction-boundary gates and 26 explicit Product
E2E cells across eight legacy/native profiles, including two focused
Paperclip-storage cases.
- Capture public hire receipts before providers run, then grade
delivered prompts and independent task/chat outcomes.
- Add an early legacy skill API recipe for saving a task document,
checking the saved revision receipt and linking the document. Improve
stock task/heartbeat skill-selection metadata and show a clickable
Markdown UI-link example. Keep native tool completion separate.
- Advertise bounded routing descriptions and exact successfully staged
SKILL.md paths in legacy ACP Claude; keep full bodies on demand and
preserve remote path rebasing.
- Remove only the provider environment from copied persisted ACP session
records, while loading current run credentials and preserving all other
options/conversation state.
- Regenerate both capability metadata inventories and reject stale
manifests/inventories before provider admission.
- Publish the original reduction and focused skill-repair comparisons,
preserving all failures, automatic recovery, cost coverage and
limitations.

## Verification

**Behavioral qualification remains pending.** Original legacy ACP Claude
loses the issue document only in the reduced cohort beneath an unchanged
credential failure. A source-backed diagnosis finds that neither
ordinary assignment reads the staged operational skill, while the
runtime persists provider environment in session state. The new common
repairs expose skill metadata/path and omit persisted env; strict
document and credential guards stay intact. [Inspectable diagnosis and
retained
hashes](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/9f654db4541d3d002769c988f6e51fc0b08dadbd/doc/plans/2026-10-03-legacy-acp-claude-readiness.md).

Current repair head `de0965984ff3edf611ae6d0e7ca5c7d5ae3947bb`
incorporates master `569c7203aa24b95440682983ce7940ba1d4247bd` (merged
#14961/#15007). All 222 affected adapter tests, adapter-utils/E2E
typechecks, and final 96 variant/grader/retry calibrations pass. The
frozen historical comparator is
`c25697f4260b6f3adfea143c3ae9932e2f42986d`: 8,280 of 8,291 paths
identical, exactly two production instruction paths plus nine declared
unit expectations differ. The operational skill/discovery/environment
repairs, selected model/profile/task/core grader/auth/permissions/retry
policy are identical. Both actual launcher prepare→verify admissions
pass with zero providers. [Immutable manifest and exact
receipts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/9f654db4541d3d002769c988f6e51fc0b08dadbd/doc/plans/2026-10-03-legacy-acp-claude-evidence/manifest.json).

One original legacy ACP Claude cell per variant is authorized, with
enforced single campaign attempts, 12-minute deadlines and company/agent
1,000-cent hard stops; every product recovery run/cost is counted.
Actual live outcomes are pending. Current normal CI has one failed
server shard and failed aggregate verify under diagnosis; other normal
gates including typecheck/build/Rust/all eight browser shards pass.
Fresh review completed successfully; the valid historical startup/resume
masking finding was fixed with per-invocation task/chat checks and
strict complete-snapshot capture, calibrated and resolved. Prior heads,
failures and campaigns below remain historical evidence, not checks on
this repair head.

- Prior head `36aa4d81c49a1a8f6f04b1a068fae19aa901955f` is replayed on
merged hiring master `862a5758ba0e88a33232c1f1fa645e85c38a3113`. All 52
current-head checks pass with two intentional Storybook skips, including
repository typecheck/test/build and the browser shard. Fresh Greptile is
5/5 with zero unresolved review threads. Exact-head stock prerequisites
pass 599 assertions (598 TypeScript + 1 Rust), all six gates and
retained receipt verification, zero providers/source errors. Fingerprint
`a7f5a22d860a88fe20cce213c6d5e0004788f32c8363930729aea4fd740ad16d`.
Combined catalog/hiring calibrations pass 67 assertions, E2E typecheck
and 26-cell stock discovery pass. Canonical contract/inventory checks
and the later issue-derived reference calibration are retained; that
reference-only follow-up is not live-qualified by earlier frozen runs.
- Prior full repository typecheck/build passed. The complete local
Vitest run executed 14,956 tests: 14,870 passed, 83 skipped, three
timing failures. All three affected files passed unchanged narrow
reruns; original failures remain retained. Current-head CI now passes
the full general checks; the original local failures remain retained.
- The original 24-pair default-manual/shared-prompt comparison has two
new overall classic Claude/OpenCode document-delivery failures plus an
additional legacy ACP Claude document loss beneath an unchanged
credential-guard failure (not closed by later runs), two newly passing
OpenCode ordered cases, seven unchanged failures and 13 unchanged
passes. Equal 15/24 totals do not establish behavioral equivalence.

- The skill-only repair holds the eight-word manual/shared prompts and
merged #14920 fixed. All four matched profile configurations and 203
fixture/behavior files match. Candidate
`abd0b628ca642c09a54a4edc56a5227402f6686e` varies only the two skill
sources against baseline `bc83fe030234439ac51279502a28803958963e2e`.
[Candidate

and [baseline

each pass 571 exact-source prerequisites before providers; all eight
cells clean up successfully. Failed campaigns publish successfully and
remain failed.
- Repair pairs: Claude original Fail → Pass; Claude explicit Pass →
Pass; both OpenCode cases Fail → Fail. Explicit OpenCode's handoff
worsens beneath the unchanged failing UI-link grade: baseline gives a
clickable API URL, candidate gives a code-formatted path without an
anchor. The request's usable-link wording is narrower in the UI-only
oracle. [Complete repair report and safe
projection](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/875f4c397d9e8c3f12f39dedd59abaf1eaf5236e/doc/plans/2026-10-02-legacy-document-skill-repair.md).
- The subsequent narrow stock metadata/link correction has two matched
Pass → Pass cases, zero new machine failures/passes and no pending
pairs. Both original-case handoff links remain deficient: candidate uses
a wrong PAP prefix, baseline supplies a bare prefix-less slug path; the
preserved original oracle only requires a durable document. Both
explicit clickable UI-link cases pass revision/content/link grading. All
four exact-source 587-check gates, single assignment runs and cleanup
pass. This does not establish fix causality because baseline also
succeeds. [Candidate
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37069547401)
freezes `fe9dc1e3c518825242ed889ab9c8352986f8c2ed`; [matched
baseline](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37069552374)
freezes `0d7ecfa96d72fba79b7f0a25052b42c0686c0488`. This is a skill-only
comparison with reduced manuals/shared prompts held constant, not a
repeat of the historical-manual comparison. Only original and clarified
explicit classic OpenCode cases are selected, two per variant/four
expected turns. 8,242 other tracked files and both profile hashes match;
protected workflows admit each exact source before credentials.
[Complete qualification

Candidate original loads Paperclip/reference before saving publicly;
baseline original loads it after writing locally, then saves publicly
within the same assignment. Reported cost totals are $0.0107824490
candidate / $0.0107909015 baseline, with unmetered runtime. The later
reference-only issue-derived link correction is provider-free calibrated
and **not live-qualified** by these frozen runs; no further paid runs.
- Retained tool calls show the repaired original OpenCode assignment
loads only its assigned output skill before writing locally. Operational
Paperclip is first loaded during automatic disposition recovery; its
early recipe is visible then, but it never saves the missing document.
Explicit candidate loads Paperclip and reads the new reference before
saving successfully. All nine actual runs are counted. Reported LLM
totals are $0.3802537209 baseline and $0.4918990161 candidate; local
runtime is unmetered.
- Initial setup, packaging, cancelled/missing-cell recovery, callback
test and relative-output attempts remain retained. No completed provider
failure was rerun. Frozen measurement branches are unchanged by later
canonical metadata maintenance.
- Run `pnpm test:e2e:runner:stock-harness`, `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`,
and `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck`. Select `stock-harness` explicitly
for paid execution; it is excluded from `--all`.

Prior-head integration: `36aa4d81c49a1a8f6f04b1a068fae19aa901955f`
replays this PR on merged hiring #14985
(`862a5758ba0e88a33232c1f1fa645e85c38a3113`), preserving the four
explicit custom-CEO-bundle checks, minimal generic manual boundary, and
both suites. The combined fixture catalog and hiring calibrations pass
67 assertions; exact-head stock prerequisites pass 599 assertions (598
TypeScript + 1 Rust), all six gates and retained-receipt verification,
zero providers/source errors, fingerprint
`a7f5a22d860a88fe20cce213c6d5e0004788f32c8363930729aea4fd740ad16d`. E2E
typecheck and 26-cell stock discovery pass. Fresh current-head CI passes
all 52 checks with two intentional skips, and fresh Greptile is 5/5 with
zero unresolved review threads.

The prior source-plan browser failure is retained: a deterministic
process fixture replayed its last `fixture:plan` command on
`chat_task_completed`, writing revision 2 with identical body after the
approval handoff. This was not paid provider execution. Rebased
current-head CI passes the same assertion without an old-head retry or a
change to that browser fixture.

The merged hiring change was measured separately on immutable matched
unions, with this reduced/shared/operational context and native
completion guidance held constant. [Complete original two-profile
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/f0512647656be78e48abd8c22a3078db8bf6bcd2/doc/plans/2026-10-02-hiring-template-live-comparison.md):
[candidate](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37075466208)
/ [historical
baseline](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37075469463),
705 provider-free prerequisites each. Both pairs are unchanged Fail →
Fail on the exact-five count, with six core delivery checks passing all
four cells; 28 actual successful runs include eight automatic completion
wakes, zero retries, four successful cleanups. Source-read coverage is
uncomparable, actual model charges unknown. Separately versioned
provider-free accounting remains analytical work; original verdicts are
preserved. This does not rerun or qualify the completed default-manual
or native campaigns.

## Risks

- Legacy ACP Claude's additional delivery loss is not closed by any
later matched run and blocks the no-extra-failing-behavior merge
criterion. Legacy document delivery may have relied on the prior
manual/shared prompts. The early skill repair improves Claude in one
trial; the later OpenCode pairs pass in both variants and cannot
establish causality or robust recovery. Both original-case links remain
deficient beneath the storage-only grade. The later issue-derived
reference correction has only provider-free validation. Native
finish/block descriptions must not be supplied to legacy agents.
- The comparison holds merged native Codex fix #14920 constant; it
cannot measure that fix's before/after task performance.
- These bounded skill/context/chat workflows do not measure general
coding quality. Unrepresented providers remain unqualified.
- Saved manuals and old Codex sessions are not automatically migrated.
Codex through ACP still has a separate base-instruction follow-up.

DottaandPaperclip 78e0034498 fix(evals): account for hiring completion notifications (#15007)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Product E2E evals check real hiring and delegated task completion.
> - The hiring fixture requires three requested CEO turns and two coder
executions.
> - The server can also wake the CEO when each delegated task completes.
> - Two exact-five-run guards rejected these valid completion turns in
all four retained cells.
> - This pull request validates bounded completion turns in both guards.
> - The benefit is accurate workflow grading while all actual runs and
coverage failures remain visible.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #14985, #14948, #14961.

**What happened?**

The original hiring comparison reports Codex Fail → Fail and Claude Fail
→ Fail. Each cell has seven successful runs. The five requested work
turns are accompanied by two server task-completion notifications. All
six other delivery checks pass.

**Expected behavior**

Require exactly three distinct user-requested CEO turns and one coder
execution for each of two known tasks. Admit at most two strictly
attributed server completion turns, including one turn that batches both
tasks. Reject unknown, duplicate, failed, retried or extra-work runs.

**Steps to reproduce**

Inspect the retained four-cell report linked below. Each original result
fails `five-successful-turns`. The same exact count was also enforced by
the final chat-flow guard.

## What Changed

- Add one typed lifecycle helper shared by the hiring scorer and the
hiring-only final chat guard.
- Validate public run ledgers, company/user/account identity, request
attribution, task origins, completion deliveries, timing and replies.
- Keep exactly five required work turns; declare seven maximum total
turns for cost and timeout planning.
- Count all actual runs, including notification runs and unexpected
resets. Keep other chat count guards unchanged.
- Version the hiring grader as v3 (turn accounting v2) and include the
helper and chat guard in its definition digest.
- Keep source-read, exact coder-body and all six other delivery checks
unchanged.
- Add 144 focused helper/scorer/settlement calibrations and separately
versioned exact retained-input replay reports.
- Retry complete bracketed observations, await both owed callbacks and
attributed replies, and refresh the final guard consistently.
- Reject unrelated completion writes and failed mutation attempts using
exact canonical/native action IDs. Missing identity mapping is
uncomparable action coverage.

## Verification

- All 977 credential-free E2E support tests pass across 64 files,
including 144 focused lifecycle/action/scorer/settlement calibrations.
- E2E typecheck, ordinary plugin SDK and Runner TypeScript dependency
builds, capability contract/inventory checks and the existing two-cell
hiring discovery pass.
- [Executable replay
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/fed1729018cc100f5f4bbfb692777e49009c423b/doc/plans/2026-10-02-hiring-executable-accounting-replay.md)
pins current code revision `e4077ade1818d98b9862ae79ee1d49a007dcf9c1`,
v3 definition digest, exact source/input hashes and each original/new
check.
- The stricter replay verifies both Codex variants through both
executable guards. ACPX Claude action attribution remains
unresolved/uncomparable because provider execution IDs cannot be exactly
joined to native request IDs; guards fail closed. No notification writes
are observed. All six other outcomes and every original source/template
coverage check stay unchanged. Original files and Fail → Fail machine
verdicts remain preserved; zero providers are called.
- Full attempts remain uncomparable in both profiles. Historical Claude
also keeps its six-backtick exact-template mismatch. This grading repair
does not prove model-performance equivalence.
- The limited sidecar-v1 and initial executable-v2 passes checked
notification-created tasks but could miss unrelated document writes.
Those assessments remain preserved and do not prove harmless
notifications. The stricter v3 replay is separate.
- [Original measurement and separate
sidecar](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/8eb517ca1497687237163bdef4dfc4d3332ea916/doc/plans/2026-10-02-hiring-template-live-comparison.md)
retain 28 actual runs, eight automatic notifications, four successful
cleanups and unknown actual model charges. No models are rerun.
- The branch is replayed on master `59c07ede7`. Intervening master
changes are UI-only; eval source bytes and replay verdicts match. The
four-cell provider-free replay was repeated against the reachable code
revision.
- Initial-head normal CI retained browser failures in agent-run denial
feedback and touch-picker scroll position. Those browser paths and
imports were unchanged, but their cause was not established. The
necessary review-fix head passes both browser checks; no blind rerun was
requested.
- Local full repository typecheck/test/build were not repeated.
Exact-head normal CI passes the required repository gates, including
typecheck, tests, build and browser shards. Fresh Greptile review
completed on `fed1729018cc100f5f4bbfb692777e49009c423b` with 5/5 and
zero unresolved threads. An independent rerun of the 144 focused
helper/scorer/settlement tests passes on the unchanged head.


**Merge readiness:** This PR repairs the evaluator. Its positive and
negative calibrations pass, both guards reject missing action
attribution, current-head CI and review pass, and there are no merge
conflicts. The retained ACPX cells remain uncomparable because their
action IDs cannot be joined. That coverage limit remains a separate
follow-up; it does not require relaxing this grader or changing the old
results. No model calls, production instructions, carrier changes, or
historical regrades are part of this readiness update.

## Risks

- Missing or inconsistent public lifecycle evidence fails the bounded
helper. The focused calibrations reject plausible false positives and
malformed observations. Unmatched action IDs fail closed and are
reported as uncomparable rather than a model task regression.
- Source-read evidence remains incomplete. This PR does not change
provider event carriers or relax the coverage oracle.
- The versioned count check differs from original v1 results. Reports
retain both versions and exact input hashes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family as identified by this session. The exact
deployment ID and context-window size are not exposed. The assistant
used reasoning, repository tools, code execution and delegated
calibration work.

DottaandPaperclip dd868ed125 fix(runner): share native completion tool guidance (#14961)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Native Runner agents report completion through finish and block
tools.
> - The providers receive different descriptions for those tools.
> - Completion guidance belongs with the tools that enforce the result.
> - This pull request shares the descriptions and refreshes retained
catalogs.
> - A separate native suite checks completion and blocking on production
defaults.
> - Legacy agents retain their separate skill and API paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #14920, #14948, #14985.

**Current behavior**

Native Codex and MCP bridges describe finish and block differently.
Retained provider sessions can keep old descriptions.

**Proposed behavior**

Native providers receive the same finish and block descriptions. The
descriptions cover report selection, validation feedback, returned
outcomes, approval gates and final-answer timing. Retained native
sessions refresh from v13 to v14.

**Reason and benefit**

Put the completion procedure next to its native tool. Preserve stock
base instructions, schemas, permissions and terminal semantics. This PR
now stands alone on master. It contains no reduced manual, shared prompt
or operational-skill changes from #14948.

## What Changed

- Add canonical native finish and block descriptions. Use them in direct
Codex and both native MCP bridges.
- Advance the native tool contract to v14. Cover old-v13 refresh without
replacing task identity or prior history.
- Check authenticated tool catalogs, provider start/resume frames and
serialized daemon catalogs.
- Add an independent, explicit-only native completion suite. Preserve
the original assigned-skill durable-document journey. Pair it with a
concrete whole-task blocker across Codex, ACPX Claude and OpenCode.
- Verify the actual public production default bundle and budgets before
execution. Require independent durable disposition, native
result/terminal receipts and observable provider-final ordering.
- Correct the blocker browser oracle to accept the requested
explanation. Keep exact owner/action/scope checks. Calibrate positive,
missing and contradictory replies.
- Preserve only actual `tool_call` terminal names (`paperclip_finish` /
`paperclip_block`) in the native compatibility run-log projection.
Require the same named call ID through its finishing result; retain all
other redaction boundaries.
- Admit verified hosted shallow checkout/build hydration and bind the
selected runnerd to exact source/archive/binary provenance. Hosted cells
truthfully reuse the existing trusted build; local admission executes
Rust calibration. Forward only public source/run identifiers through
both launcher preflight subprocess paths.
- Enforce single attempts in the launcher for opted-in fixtures. Keep
ordinary retry policy unchanged. Run exact-source, credential-free
admission before credential loading.

## Verification

- Frozen candidate: `d6e59e4712a3158ab4cd7d58deff1389b4578c21`, based on
master `59c07ede72dc08b8aba149a01cc11e0b7a204621`; historical
descriptions: `e74ed61a69fbdd8b3a8f15dd6456bc3140246e33`. Exactly the
five original native production files and six unit tests differ. Both
carry identical corrected fixtures, strict named finishing-call grader,
closed compatibility carrier and admission. Defaults,
profiles/models/auth/permissions and manifest bytes match.
- Actual launcher `prepareNativeCompletionPreflight` →
`verifyNativeCompletionPreflight` admission passes on both exact refs
with zero providers: candidate 132 / historical 127 selected TypeScript
assertions, 128 Node calibrations and one Rust normalization calibration
each; E2E typecheck, manifest checks, selected binary provenance and
six-cell discovery pass. Each has 257 explicitly skipped unrelated
assertions, not coverage. The credential-free environment calibration
exercises both real prepare/verify subprocess options with public hosted
identifiers and rejects credential/ambient overrides. Complete actual
launcher prepare→verify also passes on both frozen refs with explicitly
synthetic hosted metadata/verified archives, separately labeled as
calibration rather than a trusted GitHub run. Exact framed provenance
parsing and mock source identity are calibrated without relaxing the
real verifier.

are inspectable. All six candidate cells pass; historical descriptions
pass five. Paired outcomes: **zero new failures, one new pass (Codex
blocker), five unchanged passes, zero pending pairs**. [Candidate

and [historical

each execute six original attempt-1 native runs, with no campaign retry
and successful cleanup. Their trusted workflow revision is
`215586d127e97c9301d86e769a39a15c13298ca2`, separate from measured
source. [Candidate public

and [historical public
HTML](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-37098815696-1/index.html)
retain declared screenshots.
- Independent candidate evidence agrees with all original grades: 51
strict native checks, 12 served-default/budget checks and 21 original
skill/document checks pass. The historical Codex blocker saves the
correct whole-task blocker but omits the required marker from its actual
provider final and identical saved reply. This is not semantic-summary
fallback. Its original browser/matcher failure stays retained; the
additional native snapshot/grade and workspace before/after digest were
never written and are not fabricated by the separate API/PRP audit.
Historical Codex completion has one failed finish followed by success
within the same native run; the public receipt records no failure
reason. All twelve runs and their usage remain counted. Reported
model-cost subtotals are $0.00421482 historical/$0.00437391 candidate;
Codex/Claude zero entries have unknown billing type, actual invoices are
unverified and hosted execution cost is unmetered. One matched trial
supports no extra failure within these six cases, not broad statistical
or coding-quality equivalence.
- Initial hosted `e18c2cf9` / `459455ac` and subsequent `0a9c5a7` /
`00a761b` cohorts each stopped before providers in all twelve cells. The
latter failed a mocked-receipt unit test under ambient hosted metadata;
all source/build proofs passed. [All twelve later setup
receipts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/402ee94c52273ad58de355ae9a7d562dd22f8101/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-qualified-hosted-setup.json)
are retained. [Exact failed setup
receipts](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/27653eb1a8f8ce839776d760f4563f672e5a706c/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-master-hosted-setup.json)
and the original manifest remain intact. Local sandbox-denied loopback
and stale anchor-expectation attempts are retained separately; unchanged
appropriate assertions were corrected/admitted before paid dispatch. Old
anonymous OpenCode streams are not assigned inferred tool names or
retroactively passed.
- Full provider-free E2E support previously passed 927 tests in 67
files. Exact-head d6 normal CI run `37098409915`, attempt 1 passes full
repository typecheck/build/tests, Runner Rust/static checks, all browser
shards/aggregate and canary: 52 check-runs pass, four intentional skips,
Snyk passes. Fresh Greptile check `111132956342` is 5/5 with zero
unresolved threads. Source-specific deterministic tests do not
substitute for the bounded live comparison.
- Earlier native source `9138f570c341c251a5727c32d6615ce238bc8e03` is
archived. Its [complete reduced-manual-context
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/9138f570c341c251a5727c32d6615ce238bc8e03/doc/plans/2026-10-02-native-completion-live-comparison.md)
remains intact, including original failures, grader limits and
provider-free replay. It is not current-master-context qualification.

## Risks

Changed tool text can change model behavior. The completed six-pair
qualification shows no extra failing outcomes in this bounded trial;
other tasks and repeated-run variance remain unmeasured. Observable
final ordering does not prove provider feedback consumption. Public
evidence can fail closed if a provider does not expose the required
result sequence. This slice does not remove native fixed prompts or
measure general coding quality. No database, schema, permission or
legacy completion changes occur.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with code inspection, execution and tool
use. The exact deployment ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session. They are unavailable rather than inferred from the model
menu.
