DottaandPaperclip ebeac833a6 perf(runs): bound history and reduce repeated context reads (#16286)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps operators manage AI agents and inspect their work.
> - Run history supplies recent execution records to the board and API
clients.
> - The list repeats eight reads of a large stored JSON context.
> - A caller can also omit the limit and read the complete history.
> - This pull request expands context fields once and bounds every list
read.
> - The benefit is lower database cost and bounded redaction work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #958. Related community reports: #13962 and #10631. This is an
independent implementation. It does not use their commits or code. It
covers the history bounds reported in both. Process memory monitoring
from #10631 is outside this change.

**What happened?**

The run-history query repeatedly extracts fields from large context
JSON. Requests without a limit also load every historical run before
authorization and redaction. Accumulated staging query statistics showed
271 ms for summary history and another 58 ms for its redaction lookup.

**What did you expect to happen?**

Normal reads must use a bounded recent history. Context projection must
preserve the existing values and privacy behavior with less repeated
database work.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the disposable benchmark below against the baseline revision. It
creates 1,400 synthetic runs with 192 KiB contexts. It compares the
exact service SQL and every returned column for both summary and full
history.

## What Changed

- Expand context fields with one lateral record projection. Preserve
non-object legacy contexts and the first-class issue binding.
- Enforce a 200-row default and a 1,000-row maximum in the route and
service.
- Apply the default in the shared UI client, including both agent detail
implementations.
- Preserve response arrays, authorization, result projection and secret
redaction.
- Fetch older linked runs by ID in both agent pages. Check company and
agent scope, navigation races and visible retry errors.
- Update OpenAPI, data-path documentation and capability maps.
- Add real PostgreSQL and HTTP regressions plus a reproducible
benchmark.

## Verification

- Local benchmark: summary history 37.72 ms to 19.34 ms; full history
37.84 ms to 19.01 ms. All 200 complete positional rows match in each
comparison. These are synthetic local SQL timings, excluding HTTP and
redaction.
- History, route, privacy and redaction suites: 160 server tests passed
across six files. Twenty-two UI API, selection, run-panel and
log-visibility tests passed. Both agent-page variants render an older
linked run with an empty history page on desktop and mobile.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- Map validation and `git diff --check` passed.
- All current-head CI and security checks passed, including the full
general and serialized suites, browser shards, Runner verification and
build. Greptile reviewed the exact commit at 5/5 with no remaining
findings.
- The full local sweep began before the final compatibility fixes. It
was stopped after the final commits passed complete CI. The focused
local suites listed above passed on the final code. Before interruption,
the broader local sweep passed 31,743 tests across the general server,
UI and several package groups, with no reported failures. The full local
command is not claimed as a completed pass.

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/services/heartbeat/run-state.test.ts src/__tests__/heartbeat-list.test.ts src/__tests__/agent-live-run-routes.test.ts src/__tests__/run-secret-redaction.test.ts src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-privacy-routes.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/api/heartbeats.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx ../scripts/benchmark-run-history.ts --baseline-ref=1e731520bb
```

## Risks

- Clients that relied on an unbounded array now receive 200 rows by
default. Explicit limits allow up to 1,000. This change does not add
pagination.
- Legacy context conversion must stay identical. Real database
regressions cover null, array, scalar, nested values and native issue
precedence.
- No schema migration or persistent cache is introduced. Redaction and
access checks remain active.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, shell
tools and local code execution. The runtime does not expose a more
specific backend model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip b8ffeb973a feat(runner): add experimental Grok Bot agent participation (#16219)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work for a company.
> - The shared Runner owns task admission, authority, receipts and
finalization.
> - An existing Grok Bot needs to receive assignments and return results
through that Runner.
> - The Bot also needs governed access when it starts work from its own
conversation.
> - This PR adds agent-purpose MCP access and routine webhook dispatch.
> - It reuses the external-agent Rust Runner and keeps Grok capabilities
explicit.
> - The provider stays experimental until the real-client managed
journeys pass.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Agent or provider**
Grok Bot, distinct from the Grok Build coding runtime in #13882.

**Why this adapter is useful**
Users can assign work to an existing Bot, receive progress, questions,
documents and files in Paperclip, and let the Bot initiate work under
its agent permissions.

**How the agent is invoked**
A webhook-only routine delivers bounded references. Dedicated
named-agent OAuth and MCP provide inbound calls. Setup follows [Grok
routines](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/routines) and [custom
plugins](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/connect-plugins). The current
desktop app needs its Bot-generated Webhook URL navigation link when
routine-row clicks fail.

The GitHub search found related Grok Build runtime work, but no existing
Grok Bot agent provider. This extends the roadmap’s existing agent,
Runner, governance and artifact foundations.

## What Changed

- Add default-off Grok Bot participation through the shared real Rust
external backend, preserving native provider identity guarantees and
distinguishing session closure from remote termination.
- Bind agent OAuth to company, agent, client, gateway and authorizer;
recheck permissions and task-bound execution authority without
manufacturing a native identity.
- Persist routine configuration, dispatch intents, authenticated
acknowledgement and recovery holds. Store URL/key together in encrypted
secret storage, use guarded public egress, and never automatically
replay ambiguous HTTP delivery.
- Reuse native tools, durable waiting, completion assessment and review.
Add task-bound file grants through existing artifact storage; suppress
proactive echo dispatch and synchronous result wake loops.
- Enforce the current native deliverable work-mode policy at file-ticket
issuance and use. Add operator retries for confirmed rejected wakes,
with retained receipts, stable retry intent and current-authority
checks. Recovery locks bindings before routine rows. Thread Stop
resolves the selected run and its agent.
- Cancel queued and preparing Stop targets before assignment creation,
restore saved setup after a failed request and successful retry, and
publish the Grok provider descriptor schema. Advance the versioned
Copilot source declaration for the shared schema change; its
qualification remains pending.
- Filter task summaries with the shared privacy policy, preserve
feedback admission when wake delivery is blocked, reconcile settled
delivery receipts without restoring work authority, and bind every Stop
control to its displayed run. Recovery records distinguish dispatch
uncertainty from a revoked session.
- Add resumable guided setup, credential replacement, consent,
management, observed work status and stop/recovery controls, plus an
interactive Storybook journey using the production task thread, question
form and report card. Grok’s own apps remain available; Paperclip
workspace and third-party tools are deferred.

## Verification

- Five focused protocol, authorization, person MCP and Runner files: 192
tests pass. The Grok assigned-work case executes the actual Rust Runner,
saves a document, uploads/deduplicates a file and reaches ordinary
finalization.
- Proactive intake/deduplication and renewed-session recovery pass.
These use scripted clients and synthetic storage; they are not
real-provider acceptance.
- Repository typecheck, production build, token gates, map checks and
Storybook build/catalog checks pass. The local full-suite campaign was
stopped after macOS shared-memory exhaustion repeatedly prevented
embedded PostgreSQL startup. No local aggregate pass is claimed. The
first clean-worker CI run identified avatar fixture/configuration, flag
defaults, feature-card ordering and OpenAPI route-coverage gaps; all
four focused regressions pass after correction. Those regressions pass.
The latest clean-worker CI run also found a Copilot source-hash
declaration mismatch after the shared descriptor update; the corrected
declaration passes all 28 integrity tests. The next review corrections
pass 144 rendered UI tests, 21 OpenAPI tests and 82 Runner
contract/integrity/history tests. The latest database fixtures were
blocked at startup by host shared-memory exhaustion; clean-worker CI
must execute their new regressions. Full current-head CI now passes: 54
successful checks and four intentional skips. The database regression
uses the PostgreSQL driver result shape; file-policy, rejected-feedback
and lock-order cases pass on clean workers. Current-head Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved findings.
- Rendered setup steps and outbound-only verification were walked
through in Storybook. Simulation cannot enable Done without an
authenticated-reply state.
- Actual client OAuth, continued access, reconnect and one routine wake
with an exact chat acknowledgement were observed separately. This
candidate’s live authenticated challenge, assigned/proactive workflows,
Linux managed artifact, restart and cleanup are not yet qualified. The
provider stays disabled by default.
- The separate Cloud ingress change forwards only exact task-bound
upload/download paths and preserves host identity and header stripping.
- Current Cloud policy reserves Test for pre-merge app/harness
experiments; Staging accepts only master-derived revisions. Real-client
qualification needs a supported, authorized deployment target and
remains outstanding.

## Risks

One append-only migration adds routine/dispatch state and extends shared
bindings and file tickets. The unshipped migrations were regenerated
after upstream consumed their original numbers. Rolling back code
retains the durable rows; revoke grants and inspect unknown remote
activity before resuming dispatch. Grok cannot confirm remote
termination, stream its complete transcript or report spending. Plugins
are account-wide and do not isolate credentials between Bots.
Real-client managed acceptance remains required before enabling the
experimental provider.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6, with reasoning, code execution and
browser/native UI tools. The exact deployment model ID and
context-window size are not exposed by this runtime.

0b0e53029f fix: recover saved workspace results automatically (#15824)
## Thinking Path

- Paperclip preserves accepted agent results before workspace copyback
and result commitment.
- A replaced controller can leave a physical copyback owner receipt
behind. A lost database lock or expired lease cannot prove that its
tar/Git children stopped.
- Infrastructure recovery should belong to the runtime and deployment
harness; task users should not investigate processes or attest shutdown.
- New receipts record the exact deployment. The harness independently
verifies that deployment fully stopped and signs a short-lived proof
bound to the stack, run, owner and deployment.
- The existing guarded reconciler then finishes the same accepted result
without a new agent turn. Legacy receipts retain the documented
administrator API after independent platform verification.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An accepted native result can remain at `workspace_finalizing` with an
abandoned physical copyback owner. Repeated recovery sweeps could
replace specific instructions with advice to start new agent work. The
first version of this PR exposed a shutdown-evidence form in the task;
that asks end users to resolve infrastructure details.

**Expected behavior**

Automatically verify and recover the exact stopped deployment, preserve
the original accepted result and existing approval/monitor waits, and
show only a quiet task status. Unknown or live workers must remain
fenced. Older receipts without platform identity need independently
verified operator assistance through the administrator API.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Persist an accepted native result and a copyback receipt from a prior
controller.
2. Replace that deployment before workspace finalization commits.
3. Let the normal finalization reconciler revisit the saved result.
4. With a platform-bound receipt and a fully stopped deployment,
recovery should finish automatically. With missing, live, unverifiable
or changed ownership, it must not write files or create another provider
turn.

Related public work: #14402 introduced copyback ownership; #9687 handles
dead-run finalize barriers; #15795 handles terminal stale-run cleanup.
This change addresses an accepted result whose physical copyback owner
prevents commitment.

## What Changed

- Record Railway project, environment, service and deployment identity
on new physical copyback owners.
- Request read-only platform verification from the managed cloud
harness. Require an Ed25519 stop receipt with a disjoint purpose,
configured signing key, exact stack/run/owner/deployment binding and
valid expiry.
- Keep live, unknown, malformed, unavailable and legacy owners fenced.
Compare the whole prior receipt during ownership takeover, under the
existing dedicated advisory lock.
- Persist platform proof and audit automatic takeover. Resume normal
finalization of the same saved result, preserving task ownership,
approved boundaries, monitors and pending confirmations.
- Remove process metadata, shutdown evidence, confirmation checkboxes
and infrastructure-repair forms from task views. Suppress the duplicate
technical owner-recovery card. Show “Restoring saved work…” only from
server-confirmed recovery or queued operator recovery; platform identity
alone shows the operator-assistance fallback. Remove the status when
recovery resolves.
- Share current-task, current-running-execution, accepted-result,
authoritative-reviewer and newer-execution checks between automatic and
operator recovery. Validate after the provider lookup, atomically with
the owner claim, and again before file publication; closed or superseded
tasks cannot start copyback.
- Keep the separately authorized exact-owner API for operator recovery
of legacy receipts, with active-lock, live-controller, stale-result and
newer-execution rejection. Generic dismissal cannot bypass the copyback
fence.
- Replace obsolete form stories with production-backed automatic,
queued, legacy, completed and mobile examples; retain stable suite IDs.
Update the operator runbook and scoped Storybook catalog.

## Verification

- Red/green: new platform-proof tests failed before implementation; the
database takeover regression failed against the original ownership
guard; reduced-UI assertions failed against the original form. All pass
after the changes.
- Passed: 59 physical-owner/finalization database tests using isolated
PostgreSQL, including real reconciler commitment from all three
saved-result phases through both automatic and operator recovery. They
preserve result identity, exact saved file bytes, pending approval and
overdue monitor waits, and create no new run or wake request. Unknown
evidence and changed ownership remain fenced.
- Passed: 162 focused proof, cloud identity, recovery route,
recovery-card and reduced-UI tests.
- Passed: full workspace typecheck and build, final server/UI
typechecks, token gates, and Storybook build.
- Browser inspection: desktop task composition shows only the quiet
status; completed example removes it and retains the approval-wait
message. Mobile shows the existing bottom navigation with no horizontal
overflow. These are fixture UI observations, not live provider
acceptance.
- A companion harness change implements the actual provider check,
signed receipts, server-token authentication and bounded/coalesced
provider reads. Its full typecheck and test suite passed: 3,240 passed,
92 skipped, zero failures. This application alone cannot enable platform
verification.
- The updated full application `pnpm test:run` was stopped after
repeated local embedded-Postgres startup failures; it is not claimed
green. The same affected recovery suites pass against isolated
PostgreSQL. CI passed on final head `9ad5c3529e`: 54 successful checks,
two intentional skips, and successful legacy Snyk status. Greptile is
5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- Global Storybook catalog validation is green: 225 files, 2,224
stories. Its 17 catalog/index tests pass. Master was merged and the
inherited index metadata was reconciled after source review.
- Review correction red/green: two UI and two database assertions
reproduced misleading progress / missing server recovery state; all pass
after server-confirmed state was added. All 153 focused server tests and
68 UI tests pass on the final recovery code, including repeated-sweep
idempotence. Full workspace typecheck/build, token gates and Storybook
build also pass.
- Safety regression red/green: stale-task copyback and publication tests
failed against the previous guard. The final suite covers changes during
proof lookup, closed/cancelled tasks, replaced execution/checkout, newer
and queued legacy runs, reassignment and rejected/unbound results, plus
the real reconciler selecting closed or superseded tasks. Files remain
untouched and no workspace operation starts.
- No staging mutations, deployment, live provider probes or live
production recovery were performed. The three historical receipts lack
deployment identity and still require independent operator proof.

## Risks

Automatic takeover requires the companion harness release and configured
runtime-identity keys. Deploying only this application leaves
unavailable evidence fenced. Legacy receipts are not retrospectively
assigned a deployment identity. An authorized operator can still make an
incorrect attestation through the fallback API; its administrator gate
and exact-owner safeguards remain. Provider history that is missing or
deeper than the bounded lookup defers automatic recovery. Copyback can
still fail under its existing retained-workspace policy.

No migration, telemetry change or cloud provider credential delivery is
required. The companion harness PR also has passing CI and a 5/5 review;
neither branch is deployed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, browser verification,
tool use and code execution. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size were not exposed in this session.

1b4c803816 fix(costs): preserve usage attribution and explain unavailable run costs (#15948)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The cost ledger records usage and controls agent budgets.
> - Some runs lose the selected model or API billing category before
their usage reaches the ledger.
> - The dashboard reports missing costs but does not identify the
affected runs or the available actions.
> - This pull request preserves usage attribution and adds a compact
view of cost gaps grouped by agent.
> - Operators can inspect runs, open agent settings, and record saved
costs without starting new agent work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15634, #11938, #15879.

This follows the merged subscription reporting in #15634. The older
proposal in #11938 addresses part of ACP model attribution. This change
also rejects conflicting models across a turn, fixes credential-backed
billing capture, and explains cost gaps in the existing dashboard. The
Pi receipt recovery work in #15879 covers a separate adapter recovery
path. This PR preserves unresolved receipts and does not recover
provider usage or reprice past entries.

**What happened?**

ACP results use the requested model even when the runtime selects a
model. Native and OpenCode API runs can report unknown billing despite a
matching API credential. The dashboard shows notices without links to
the affected runs. These gaps make API and subscription totals harder to
interpret.

**Expected behavior**

Record the model selected by the runtime. Identify API billing only from
a matching credential. Keep costs unresolved when reliable usage or
pricing is absent. Show the affected agents and runs. Offer an
accounting retry only when saved evidence is ready.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run an ACP agent with its model left unset, or use a matching API
credential with a native or OpenCode agent.
2. Inspect the recorded model and billing category for the run.
3. Open Costs Overview for a period with unpriced usage or terminal runs
awaiting receipts.
4. Inspect the notice and try to find the affected run or the relevant
agent settings.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current master at `657e71584a0`. The patch is rebased on that commit.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server and local development. The cost detail tests use a
disposable PostgreSQL database.

## What Changed

- Preserve the runtime-selected ACP model in checkpoints and final
results. Conflicting models across one turn remain unpriced.
- Share credential-backed API billing checks across native and OpenCode
results. Keep unknown billing when the provider and credential do not
match.
- Add company-scoped cost detail and accounting retry endpoints. Board
viewers can read details but cannot retry. Agents and foreign companies
are denied.
- Limit each detail category to 25 entries. Use one consistent database
snapshot and sparse indexes matching the filters and sort order. Add the
unknown-billing count to the existing summary query.
- Replace the notice with an expandable count line. Group entries
alphabetically by agent. Show the saved blob icon, link each name to
configuration, and put run and retry links beside the date.
- Preserve estimate and unavailable-price labels on Providers and
Billers; keep retry confirmation after the resolved notice disappears.
- Fetch details only while expanded. Retain the last loaded details
after a refresh error. Retry saved accounting only; do not rerun the
agent.
- Add capture, database, authorization, UI, and Storybook coverage.
Update the implementation contract and cost reporting guide.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed after rebase.
- `pnpm build` and `pnpm build-storybook` passed after rebase.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` and `git diff --check` passed.
- 1,086 focused tests passed across 17 files. These cover ACP, native
and OpenCode capture, PostgreSQL reports, route authorization, OpenAPI,
Costs UI, and existing accounting regressions.
- Desktop and mobile browser checks passed during UI review. They cover
lazy expansion, alphabetical groups, loaded blob icons, configuration
and run links, keyboard retry, and layout overflow.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted with command-scoped
`init.defaultBranch=master` for Git fixtures. It was stopped after a
native session recovery failure reproduced on unchanged base
`657e71584a0` (`archives a damaged prior epoch before completing guarded
same-task replacement with real runnerd`). An MCP upload case failed in
the broad run but passed in isolation on both the base and PR branch.
These local limitations do not affect the 1,086 passing focused tests.
- Current-head CI is green, including all unit test lanes, serialized
server suites, runner checks, typecheck, build, policy, and eight
browser shards. Apex re-review is 5/5 on `56de60effdb`; all four
original findings are addressed and every review thread is resolved.
- PostgreSQL applies migration `0333` in the integration fixtures.
EXPLAIN ANALYZE on the production detail statements uses the new sparse
indexes behind 5,000 healthy records in each table.
- Ten provider/biller card cases cover missing and estimated prices; the
retry test covers row removal and notice unmount. A live Storybook
browser check verifies the confirmation and updated count.
- Run `pnpm storybook`. Open **Costs / Subscriptions / Cost Data Quality
Details** to inspect the production page with representative fixtures.

## Risks

- Model and billing metadata change for future runs. Estimates still
require complete usage and a supported price. No past cost amount is
rewritten.
- A missing final receipt remains unresolved for budget checks. The
display changes after fifteen minutes; that time limit never authorizes
settlement.
- Accounting retry is a write action. It retains the existing company
checks, receipt fences, idempotency, and audit logging.
- Detail reads are bounded and run only after expansion. They poll every
30 seconds while open. No provider probe or new summary query is added.
- Migration `0333` adds two partial indexes; it changes no stored cost
amounts or table columns. Index creation scans the existing tables and
may briefly block writes during deployment. No lockfile or workflow
change is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with repository inspection, code editing,
browser checks, and test execution. The exact serving model ID,
reasoning setting, and context window were not exposed to this session.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

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

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

## What Changed

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

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

32745f4e84 feat(issues): keep follow-up parents and show the creation source (#15762)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents delegate work by creating follow-up tasks through the issue
API, the CLI, and the chat `create_task` tool
> - An agent can omit `parentId` when it creates a follow-up from an
ordinary execution task. The API accepts the task as a top-level task.
The task hierarchy does not show where the task came from, even though
the run provenance is recorded
> - The operator must read run history to learn why the task exists.
This is slow and it hides delegated work from the parent task
> - This pull request keeps the parent link for delegated follow-ups by
default, keeps intentional standalone tasks possible, and shows an
access-checked "Created from <task> by <agent>" note on the task page
from the recorded run provenance
> - The benefit is that each agent-created task shows its source without
log inspection, while structural parentage, provenance, and blockers
stay separate concepts

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13241 (shows tasks created from a task on the source task page;
this PR shows the reverse direction on the created task)
Refs #9727 (open proposal for creation provenance tracking)

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Issue creation by agent runs, and the task detail page.

**Subsystem affected**

Server (`POST /api/companies/:companyId/issues`, `GET /api/issues/:id`),
shared types, UI task detail page, CLI `issue create`, Paperclip skill
docs.

**Current behavior**

When an agent run bound to an execution task creates a task and omits
`parentId`, the task is created with no parent. The task page shows no
source. The operator must inspect the run log to find the task that the
agent was working on. The source run and the privacy parent are
recorded, but the UI does not use them.

**Proposed behavior**

- When an agent run bound to an ordinary execution task omits
`parentId`, the server sets `parentId` to that task. The `issue.created`
activity records `parentDefaultedFromRunIssue: true`.
- An explicit `parentId: null` keeps the task standalone. Conversation
runs (chat handoffs), board or user creates, watchdog follow-ups, a run
task the agent may not mutate, a default parent that would cause a
delegation cycle, and a default parent the agent may not create a child
under (for example a protected assignment policy without a grant) also
stay standalone. The server runs the same `tasks:assign` decision with
the defaulted parent in scope before it accepts the default. No request
that succeeded before now fails. An explicit `parentId` is still checked
as before.
- `GET /api/issues/:id` returns `createdFrom` with the source task, the
run, and the agent. The server resolves it from `origin_run_id`, or from
the recorded creation activity for historical rows. It returns `null`
when the viewer may not read the source task or the run, when the run is
from another company, or when provenance is missing.
- The task page shows "Created from <task> by <agent>" in the classic
breadcrumb area and in the streamlined Tasks tab. The note is not a
blocker and it is shown with or without a parent.
- The CLI `issue create` command gets `--standalone`, which sends
`parentId: null`.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators see why a task exists on the task itself. Delegated follow-ups
stay inside the parent task tree, so parent completion and child
wake-ups keep working. Private and cross-company sources stay hidden.

**Breaking changes**

None for the API schema. Agents that create tasks from a run and relied
on the omitted `parentId` to mean "top-level" must now send `parentId:
null` (CLI: `--standalone`). The skill and the spec document this.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/issue-creation-source.ts` (new): resolves a
task's creation source from the origin run or the creation activity,
scoped to the company, and loads the run-bound task by UUID or
identifier.
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: `POST /companies/:companyId/issues`
defaults `parentId` to the run's task when the body omits it (with the
exclusions above) and records the default in the activity log. `GET
/issues/:id` adds the access-checked `createdFrom` field.
- `packages/shared/src/types/issue.ts` and index exports: new
`IssueCreationSource` type and the optional `createdFrom` field on
`Issue`.
- `ui/src/components/task-detail/IssueCreatedFromNote.tsx` (new),
`TaskDetailTasksPanel.tsx`, and `IssueDetail.tsx`: show the creation
source in both task page layouts and count it in the Tasks tab badge.
- `cli/src/commands/client/issue.ts`: `issue create --standalone`.
- Docs: `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, `doc/CLI.md`,
`skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`.
- Tests: `server/src/__tests__/issue-creation-source-routes.test.ts`
(new), `TaskDetailTasksPanel.test.tsx`, `IssueDetail.test.tsx`.

## Verification

Run the new server route test (embedded Postgres):

```sh
cd server && pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/issue-creation-source-routes.test.ts
```

It covers: ordinary delegation gets the parent and `createdFrom`;
explicit `parentId: null` stays standalone but still shows the source;
conversation handoff and board create stay standalone; a would-be
delegation cycle falls back to standalone; a protected source task
without a grant falls back to standalone while an explicit parent still
returns 403; an explicit cycle still returns 409; historical provenance
from the creation activity; missing provenance, a private source for an
outsider, and a cross-company run all return `null`.

Related existing suites that passed locally (11 files, 313 tests):
`issue-created-from-routes`, `issue-create-deduplication-routes`,
`issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`, `chat-project-tools`,
`issue-assignee-invokability-routes`, `issue-watchdogs-routes`,
`issue-dependency-wakeups-routes`, `public-mcp`,
`native-runtime/task-creation-backlog`, `issue-access-grants-routes`,
`issue-list-assignee-filter-routes`.

UI:

```sh
cd ui && pnpm exec vitest run src/components/task-detail/TaskDetailTasksPanel.test.tsx src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
pnpm check:token-gates
```

Manual check: as an agent run bound to a task, `POST
/api/companies/:companyId/issues` with only a title. The response has
`parentId` set to the run's task. Open the new task; the page shows
"Created from <task> by <agent>".

The related server suites pass locally (`issue-created-from`,
`issue-create-deduplication`, `issue-agent-mutation-ownership`,
`chat-project-tools`, `issue-watchdogs`, `public-mcp`,
`task-creation-backlog`, `issue-access-grants`,
`permissions-upgrade-boundary`). The full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm
test:run`, and `pnpm build` were not run locally because the sandbox has
a 4 GB memory limit and the TypeScript compiler is killed on the server
project; the CI gates on this PR cover them.

## Risks

- Behavior shift for agent clients: a run-created task without
`parentId` now becomes a child of the run's task. Clients that want a
top-level task must send `parentId: null`. The watchdog, conversation,
and board paths are excluded, and the default never adds a blocker.
- The default parent inherits the parent's execution workspace, which
run-created tasks already inherited from the run's task.
- `createdFrom` adds one run lookup, one issue lookup, one access
decision, and one agent lookup to the task detail request. It is skipped
when the task has no origin run and no creation activity with a run.
- Privacy: the field returns `null` unless the viewer can read the
source task and the run, so a private source is indistinguishable from
missing provenance.

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5.1 (`claude-fable-5-1`), Anthropic, run through Claude
Code in a Paperclip-managed execution workspace with tool use, shell
execution, and a local embedded Postgres for tests.

DottaandPaperclip 3ec7309d91 feat(voice): add experimental Speko task connection runtime (#15727)
First PR: runtime. UI: #15728. Qualification: #15729.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work through tasks and governed connections.
> - Chat connections already bind external conversations to those tasks.
> - Speko handles voice and telephony, while the selected Paperclip
agent does the work.
> - A call needs durable session authority, ordered follow-ups, and safe
result delivery.
> - This PR adds an explicit voice transport to the existing connection
runtime.
> - The UI and qualification suites follow in linked PRs. Speko stays
experimental.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Phone and browser voice conversations cannot use the chat connection
task lifecycle. A separate voice runtime is needed to preserve task
authority, retries, and reply history.

**Proposed solution**

Add company-scoped voice sessions, signed callbacks, durable replies,
inbound intake, and an agent-facing outbound-call tool. Reuse existing
tasks, queues, secrets, and publications.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental chat connector entry points under Agent
Chat and Connected Apps. The project owner requested this feature.

Refs #11418 for the original provider catalog proposal. This
implementation uses the newer chat connection infrastructure rather than
an MCP catalog-only integration. Refs #15721 for remote OpenCode
startup.

## What Changed

- Add additive voice schema, shared contracts, session APIs, and
provider callbacks.
- Bind browser, inbound, and outbound sessions to an endpoint, task, and
selected agent.
- Add low-trust guest intake in an explicitly selected sandbox and keep
ordinary approval rules.
- Submit task work through session-scoped tools and push approved
replies through Speko POST /v1/calls/{id}/messages.
- Distinguish provider acceptance from confirmed spoken playback.
Reconcile reports without downloading recordings.
- Add protocol, migration, persistence, provider, and
delivery-diagnostic tests.

## Verification

- Master 3389bea708 is integrated. Database/shared builds, server
typecheck, migration upgrade/replay checks, and 46
communication-guidance/provider/protocol tests passed.
- The final persistence suite passed 85 real-database tests. Five
focused native continuation/authorization regressions passed. Five
callback ownership/rotation tests passed after the last runtime repair.
- Review repairs cover reconnect ownership, current caller authority,
duplicate delivery, multipart answers, task-page answers, guest question
handling, and saved sandbox recovery.
- A real OpenCode/OpenRouter DeepSeek task ran in Daytona and saved a
correct disk-space answer. This did not establish live-call playback.
- Full local typecheck/build passed before the final repairs; focused
typechecks passed after them. Latest-head CI runs the repository gates.
- The separate integrated browser qualification passed two journeys and
failed browser answer retrieval. The feature remains experimental. The
report in #15729 records this failure and outstanding real-provider
acceptance.
- No lockfiles are included. Speko migrations follow master as
0324–0330.

## Risks

- Voice sessions add migrations and provider-dependent lifecycle
behavior. Migrations preserve existing chat and AI transports.
- Callback origins must be reachable HTTPS. Provider keys and signing
secrets remain vaulted.
- Unverified callers receive task-scoped low-trust authority. Caller ID
does not grant private task access.
- Outbound telephony incurs provider charges. Provider acceptance is not
proof that the caller heard an answer.
- Keep the feature behind the existing experimental chat setting until
the real browser, inbound, outbound, and delayed-result acceptance
matrix passes.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip ed2c22ea8c feat(connections): simplify dedicated GitHub App setup (#15416)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work and the tools each agent can use.
> - GitHub bots need their own App identity and restricted repository
access.
> - Manual App configuration and repeated setup gates make that
connection hard to finish.
> - GitHub can create an App from a manifest, but people must approve
creation and repository access.
> - Each Paperclip stack should own configuration, credentials,
signature verification, and task admission.
> - This change uses Cloud as an encrypted callback and event gateway,
then completes setup in the stack.
> - GitHub review bots have their own experimental setting. Chat
connector opt-in does not control them.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Dedicated GitHub App setup, bot settings, and task-scoped GitHub
replies.

**Current behavior**

Users must configure an App, copy credentials, repeat repository
selection, and complete manual verification gates. Review settings are
hard to scan. Mentions in descriptions can be missed, and automatic
completion text can produce an extra GitHub comment.

**Proposed behavior**

Choose an agent and connect GitHub under a personal account or
organization. GitHub asks for creation and installation consent.
Paperclip resumes the same draft, stores secrets locally, imports
access, verifies delivery, and opens Settings. Each accepted request has
one editable App-owned comment for progress and results. Review
assessments produce deterministic checks for the reviewed commit.

**Breaking changes**

GitHub bots require their own default-off experimental opt-in. The
setup-method and delegated-agent screens are removed. Per-person
automatic-run flags remain readable but are replaced by author filters.
Existing connections, direct webhooks, saved restrictions, and manual
existing-App recovery remain supported.

Companion gateway:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/688 (merged). The
roadmap and related PRs were checked; no duplicate dedicated-App wizard
was found.

## What Changed

- Add an independent **GitHub review bots** setting across the catalog,
routes, identity admission, and task controls. Existing bots continue
running when the UI setting is off.
- Replace setup with Choose agent and Connect GitHub. Support personal
and organization owners, inline low-trust conversion, saved drafts,
known organization suggestions, automatic completion, and same-App
recovery.
- Keep manifests, OAuth PKCE, credential exchange, vault storage,
installation verification, and original webhook-signature validation in
the stack. Use the Cloud sealed gateway for public callbacks and
outbound local delivery.
- Add resumable owner metadata in migration 0323. Retry a failed
registration renewal through the same durable replacement rather than
creating another App route.
- Support authorized mentions in issue and PR bodies, comments, inline
comments, and review summaries. Preserve attachments, edited-source
identity, duplicate protection, and lifecycle invalidation. Filter
requests explicitly addressed to another connected bot.
- Give agents task-scoped review, comment, and update tools. Update one
working comment through progress and final output. Close coalesced
requests and recover delayed acknowledgements, including deleted earlier
working comments. Preserve automatic replies for legacy connections
without saved review configuration. Preserve partial publication
evidence and quarantine uncertain automatic fallbacks without blocking
Board messages or questions.
- Reorganize Settings and Access with rich slash-skill instructions,
numeric passing scores, clear automation controls, formal-review
tooltips, member and contributor sections, and verified App branding
links. Preserve invalid score drafts and automation choices across tabs.
- Paginate repositories in 20-row batches with search and a true
connection-wide toggle. Batch verification at GitHub's 500-ID token
limit. Keep saved repository overrides while hiding their editor.
- Give each review a detail URL that remains usable beyond the newest
100 records. Synchronize the manager OpenAPI contracts and add recovery,
authorization, UI, and browser regressions.
- Reconcile the current master branch and retain its agent avatar,
feature catalog, and extracted heartbeat preparation code. Preserve a
saved test-drive port and recover from an occupied high port.

## Verification

- Focused UI, independent experimental-setting, and CLI tests: 199
passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm check:token-gates`
passed. The broad local Vitest attempt was interrupted after resource
timeouts and stale expectations; the affected regressions passed focused
reruns. The latest-head full CI matrix passed, including all browser
shards, server/chat suites, builds, typechecking, canary packaging, and
Docker context integrity. A Docker Hub 429 required a CI retry; it
passed without changing the code.
- Final review repairs: 127 attachment/event tests and server typecheck
passed. All 13 final integration regressions passed under the normal CI
timeout, covering legacy reply compatibility, deleted coalesced
comments, inline-only review completion, progress edits, and native
final recovery. Restart-safe description/review attachments passed the
attachment suite.
- Final regressions: four reply/lifecycle tests, both native GitHub wait
tests, 171 feature-gate/reply-contract tests, the routed review preview,
and five scheduler/reply regressions passed. The final fixture repair
also passed all six setup-continuation cases and all three complete
chat-test shards in CI, covering terminal receipts and retries under the
normal CI timeout. One loaded-host receipt run exceeded its local
timeout; the exact case passed in an isolated rerun and the complete CI
shard.
- GitHub integration tests cover personal and organization setup, retry
recovery, edited mentions, attachment provenance, coalesced requests,
delayed acknowledgements, partial review writes, old review URLs, and
company boundaries.
- Browser qualification: both GitHub journeys, all five provider
setup/management journeys, and the GitHub uncertain-send recovery
journey passed. GitHub setup, reconnect, and task replies run with chat
disabled; chat enabled alone cannot expose GitHub bots. The disposable
qualification database was removed after testing.
- Earlier live qualification verified App-owned issue replies, native
slash-skill invocation, progress comment edits, and a 5/5 PR review with
a passing current-head check in the dedicated permissions-smoke
repository. These live checks did not use personal credentials as bot
execution authority.

## Risks

- Deploy the merged Cloud gateway protocol before the stack update. Each
callback and encrypted event must retain the original instance and
tenant binding.
- Migration 0323 uses idempotent column additions for test installations
that already applied the earlier draft migration number.
- A verified connection does not prove runtime isolation or a completed
review. Runtime checks remain separate.
- Required merge checks must be configured in GitHub. A passing numeric
score does not formally approve a PR; approval and request-changes tools
remain opt-in.
- Existing-App credentials cannot silently renew an uncertain manifest
exchange. Recovery preserves the existing App, draft, connection, and
agent.
- Repository changes save immediately. Global toggles affect all
currently available repositories, including unloaded rows, without
granting new installation access.
- A failed or uncertain tool write suppresses automatic fallback text;
the governed outbox retains its evidence. Deleted or replaced response
comments are not recreated through a personal credential fallback.
- GitHub logo upload remains an optional human action in GitHub App
settings. Runtime provisioning, delegated setup, screenshot publication,
and production push delivery remain deferred.

DottaandPaperclip c5f7713dd4 fix: clarify native tool use for external agents (#15734)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - External agents keep their own tools and app connections.
> - The Paperclip assignment catalog controls the Paperclip bridge.
> - Dot treated a qualification test restriction as a rule for later
work.
> - Existing prompts did not clearly separate these two tool sources.
> - This pull request tells agents to use their own capabilities and
return results to Paperclip.
> - The benefit is that a missing Paperclip app does not block an
available native capability.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: #15722 and #15691. I searched open PRs for Dot tool
guidance and found no duplicate.

**What happened?**
After a qualification test, Dot refused a Slack request because the test
Paperclip agent had no assigned Slack app. Dot already had a working
Slack connection in ChatGPT. It carried the test's plugin restriction
into a later task message.

**Expected behavior**
An external agent uses its own available tools, apps, plugins, skills,
and capabilities to complete the current request. It then returns the
result through Paperclip's task reporting and completion tools. The
assignment catalog limits Paperclip calls. It does not disable the
agent's native tools.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Connect a Dot that has a native Slack connection.
2. Complete a Paperclip qualification task with a restriction scoped to
that test.
3. Send a later task message that requires Slack.
4. Observe that Dot can mistake the Paperclip catalog for its full tool
inventory.

**Deployment mode**
Observed on Cloud staging with the Dot Runner.

## What Changed

- Add shared tool-use guidance for external-agent onboarding and Dot
setup.
- Include it in the server onboarding document, pairing response, event
instructions, and capability response.
- Clarify the tool descriptions on both Dot bridge paths.
- Include the same guidance in each Dot Runner assignment without adding
a shared-package dependency to the standalone Runner.
- Document native tool use and the scope of test restrictions.

## Verification

- The 49 relevant onboarding, Dot invitation, and Runner context tests
passed. The final UI run passed 29 tests. The updated plain-text
renderer run passed all 4 tests.
- Full workspace typecheck, full workspace build, and design token gates
passed. All current-head CI gates passed, including full tests, Runner
verification, and browser E2E. Greptile is 5/5 on the exact final
commit, and the one review finding is resolved.
- The real Dot received the standing correction and confirmed that it
will use its relevant tools and connections, return results through
Paperclip, and stop carrying the test restriction forward.
- Extended the existing plain-text renderer test to check native Slack
access, qualification-test scope, and the Paperclip denial boundary.
This covers agents that receive only the onboarding.txt URL.
- The full Vitest suite passed in CI. The earlier local Cloud
qualification run encountered failures in unchanged suites; this
follow-up uses focused local tests for the instruction changes.

## Risks

This changes instructions, not access checks. Native tools retain their
own permissions and approval requirements. Paperclip operations remain
scoped to the authorized company, agent, and task. Agents must not use
another connection or identity to bypass a denial. There is no database
migration or new permission grant.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. Used reasoning, repository tools, and
browser control. The runtime does not expose a more specific model ID or
context window size.

DottaandPaperclip b6b3cb3761 Fix unavailable workspace branches with an inline repair and retry (#15726)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Isolated workspaces must resolve a starting Git ref before an agent
starts.
> - A task can explicitly select a branch that the repository does not
have.
> - The current recovery notice calls this a missing secret and offers
no branch repair.
> - This pull request explains the branch failure and adds a task-scoped
repair action.
> - Operators can correct the branch and request a guarded retry from
the task thread.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: Refs #11892 added unresolved-ref recovery. Refs #15719 added
bounded failure diagnostics. This change uses that recovery path and
adds its operator repair UI.

**What happened?**

A task that selects `main` in a repository with only `master` stops
before the adapter starts. The task shows a missing-secret message and a
generic retry. Repeating the run cannot fix the stored branch setting.

**Expected behavior**

Explain that the starting ref could not be resolved. Offer a verified
repository default, or let the operator enter a branch. Save only the
task's starting branch and retry its recorded owner through the existing
admission gates.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an isolated-workspace task in a repository with `master` and
no `main`.
2. Set the task's base ref to `main` and assign an agent.
3. Wait for the configuration failure.
4. Use the inline branch repair and confirm the agent completes in a
worktree based on `master`.

## What Changed

- Replace the missing-secret diagnosis for unresolved workspace refs.
Keep uncertain fetch/access failures described as uncertain.
- Read the remote's advertised default branch with the existing Git
credentials and a bounded timeout. Do not guess or silently change the
branch.
- Add an atomic branch repair to the existing recovery resolution
endpoint. Check company access, board runtime permission, incident
identity, current owner, task/project state, dependencies, interactions,
approvals, budget, and active execution before requesting a retry.
- Preserve the effective inherited workspace setup when saving the task
branch override, and attach one repair notice per failed run even when
the incident is reused.
- Bind the shared repair card to the exact recovery notice and failed
run in both task-thread renderers. Validate branch syntax and prevent
duplicate submissions.
- Add Storybook examples, regression tests, and a documented local
acceptance fixture with a real Git repository and process adapter.

## Verification

- Red/green regressions cover the repair endpoint and preservation of
inherited agent setup. The regression failed before each fix and passed
afterward.
- Focused integration suite: 162 tests passed; task-thread/card suite:
230 passed. After review refinements, all 13 repair-route tests, 10 card
tests, 77 recovery-action tests, and the repeated-failure heartbeat
regression passed locally.
- Real browser acceptance passed for suggested-branch and custom-entry
repairs. Invalid syntax left the task blocked. Both valid repairs ran
the authenticated worker in a real isolated worktree and reached Done;
reload preserved the result.
- Repeated failures reused the recovery incident and retained an
actionable notice on the latest run. The inherited-setup journey
verified the provisioned file, agent branch template, worktree parent
directory, and actual Git commit before completing. [Before/after
screenshots](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15726#issuecomment-6088734666).
- Full local typecheck and build passed; server typecheck passed again
after review fixes. Token gates passed.
- The monolithic local Vitest run was stopped after resource-contention
timeouts and stale assertions. Targeted regressions were rerun; the full
CI matrix passed on final revision
`26c543ff490bec29ddc77a49ee532c7f84fb96dc`. One signoff E2E
worker-cancellation failure passed on a rerun without code changes. The
two opt-in Storybook workflow jobs were skipped; the Storybook journey
was checked manually.
- Repeat the live journey with `tests/e2e/workspace-base-ref/README.md`.
Storybook examples use simulated callbacks and are not the live
acceptance proof.

## Risks

- Default-branch discovery can add up to 10 seconds to an unresolved-ref
failure. Lookup failure leaves manual entry available.
- A valid branch name can still be absent or inaccessible. The retried
workspace preparation remains authoritative and can block again with new
evidence.
- Retry remains subject to normal admission gates. The repair changes
only the task override; it does not alter project or agent defaults.
- No database migration or new dependency.

## Model Used

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

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 98e3cec78e feat(costs): report monthly subscriptions beside API spend (#15634)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its Costs page reports API charges and subscription token usage.
> - Subscription runs do not show the recurring fee paid for the
account.
> - Several agents can share one paid seat, so a fee per agent would
overstate cost.
> - This pull request identifies connected subscription accounts and
reports each monthly fee once.
> - Users can compare API spend and subscription costs, see uncertainty,
and enter their actual price.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #498 and #3406 for related subscription reporting needs. This
change does not add subscription budget enforcement or automatic
optimization.

Related prior approaches: #10544 and #11104 proposed API-equivalent
token costs for subscription work. This PR reports recurring account
fees separately from usage charges and budgets. A search found no open
PR for monthly account fee reporting.

**Subsystem affected**
Costs, managed AI connections, shared contracts, database schema, and
board UI.

**Problem or motivation**
An organization can pay for subscriptions even when included runs record
no additional dollar charge. The Costs page cannot show that monthly
commitment or distinguish a shared paid seat from several separate
seats.

**Proposed solution**
Discover account identity from the managed connection selected for a
run. Use exact known plans for labeled monthly list-price estimates.
Keep ambiguous plans and unconfirmed identities unpriced until the user
supplies a price. Sum current monthly fees separately from date-filtered
API charges and token usage.

**Alternatives considered**
A fee per agent double-counts shared accounts. Token-based API price
estimates do not measure the recurring subscription fee. Provider
invoices would be more exact but are not available through these account
credentials.

**Roadmap alignment**
Extends the shipped Better Budgeting and Personal & Shared AI Accounts
capabilities. The feature and UI were reviewed with the maintainer
before this PR.

## What Changed

- Add company-scoped subscription accounts, connection bindings, and
immutable price revisions in replay-safe migration 0322.
- Identify OpenAI workspace/seat and Claude organization/account pairs
only after provider authentication. Keep provisional records
grant-scoped; unchecked ID-token claims cannot combine accounts or grant
billing editors. Keep credentials and raw provider identities out of
reports.
- Attach the selected subscription to new run receipts. Resolve
duplicate aliases without rewriting old monetary receipts.
- Add cached background discovery with four provider checks and twenty
discovery requests at a time. Accepted requests wait for capacity;
excess requests receive HTTP 429 and a UI retry action. Preserve saved
prices and observations when a provider check fails. Dashboard polls
load current prices only; audit revisions stay in the database.
- Support owner-controlled monthly or annual prices, fractional-cent
precision, separate currency totals, tracking status, and duplicate
linking. Preserve both personal owners and shared-account managers when
discovery finds the same paid seat.
- Show API spend beside monthly subscription commitment, with separate
token totals and clear estimate labels. Account details and fee totals
follow billing-owner/shared-audience visibility; company-wide token
totals remain available to cost readers.
- Use consistent amount and estimate badge formatting for agent, user,
project, and model rows.
- Add real PostgreSQL tests, route authorization tests, UI tests,
interactive Storybook fixtures, and operator documentation.

## Verification

- Current head `d7b5c78dadf5033a3c447d83434676ac94687e77` passed all 53
checks, with two checks skipped. This includes the full test matrix,
browser tests, build, typecheck, migration policy, canary packaging, and
security checks.
- Greptile Apex reviewed that exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved
findings.
- Local `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm check:token-gates`,
migration safety checks, and `git diff --check` passed.
- All 238 focused tests passed across accounting, subscription
persistence, authorization, UI, migration replay, and snapshot drift.
- The expanded local chat suite passed 1,149 tests. Two cases failed
because this workspace found an unrelated ancestor skill directory; both
passed unchanged in an isolated checkout. The full local Vitest command
was not repeated after the rebase because of this environment issue. CI
covered the complete test matrix on the final head.
- Migration `0322_reflective_kree.sql` follows master's
`0321_acoustic_human_fly.sql`. Its snapshot and journal were
regenerated. Master's migration and snapshot are unchanged. The
subscription SQL retains its original content and hash.
- Disposable PostgreSQL upgrade fixtures applied master's added
lifecycle and Slack migrations without changing saved subscription
prices or cost receipts. The renamed subscription migration was
recognized by hash, retained one history row, and a second migration run
was a no-op.
- Regression tests cover provider capacity, fractional-cent edits,
billing visibility after grant revocation, and
fixed-price/credit/unknown usage. The new UI billing-label tests fail
against the old wording and pass with the fix.
- Browser checks passed for desktop and mobile layouts, shared-account
totals, annual price edits, unknown prices, and stale provider data.
- A live OpenAI account probe returned HTTP 200 and a verified Pro
account identity. The generic Pro plan correctly remains unpriced.
- Live Claude discovery identified Max 20x and a $200/month estimate.
Two real Claude agent runs were attributed to that same account, with
two usage receipts, two agents, one monthly fee, and zero additional
usage charges. Two OpenAI connections also deduplicated to one account.
- Live Codex execution is not verified: both Paperclip's managed hello
test and a direct host `codex exec` fail with a workspace-routing
authentication error. The current credential passes the usage API probe.
This is separate from the successful account-discovery check.
- A local performance fixture with 50,000 usage events and 5,001 saved
price revisions produced a 1,589-byte report in 11.5 ms median / 12.2 ms
maximum over ten warmed runs. PostgreSQL used the subscription/revision
index to read one current price row. These are local measurements, not a
production latency guarantee.
- [Desktop, account details, and mobile
screenshots](https://pages.paperclip.ing/pr-15634-subscription-costs-d5d285e2/)
show the production Costs page with synthetic Storybook fixtures.
- To inspect the UI, run `pnpm storybook` and open **Costs /
Subscriptions**. Edits there change fixture data only.

## Risks

- Provider plan identifiers can change. Unknown plans remain unpriced.
Automatic prices are estimates before tax; discounts and negotiated
prices require a user-supplied amount.
- Subscription fees describe the current monthly commitment. They do not
follow the selected usage date range and do not consume agent budgets or
create finance events.
- Monthly fees cover only accounts visible to the viewer; company-wide
token totals retain their existing scope.
- Legacy or unmanaged usage can remain unattributed. Unconfirmed
identities require manual prices and may need explicit duplicate linking
after credential changes.
- Disconnecting a connection does not prove provider billing stopped.
Users must end or exclude tracking explicitly.
- Migration 0322 adds tables, a nullable cost-event column, and an
index. It is replay-safe, but normal migration locks still apply.

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. This session did not expose a more
specific backend model ID or context-window size. Capabilities used:
code editing, shell execution, database tests, and browser verification.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 2dd9811e8b Own agent hiring and termination in a lifecycle module (#15631)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Agent creation, approval, pause, and termination change whether an
agent can work.
> - These changes currently use separate service and database paths.
> - Some agents need setup after their record exists and before their
harness can run.
> - This PR adds one module that owns those state changes and their
transactions.
> - The module records progress and retries incomplete work after a
server restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

A hire can become active before its execution environment is ready.
Direct agent state writes also bypass one common lifecycle boundary.
Termination does not have a durable step for resource cleanup.

**Proposed solution**

Use agent lifecycle commands for hiring, approval, pause, resume, and
termination. Keep proposed hires pending until approval. Prepare each
approved hire, test its saved harness configuration, and then permit
work. Wait for required plugin work before completing a step.

**Alternatives considered**

A general database commit hook would expose transaction details to
callers. A timer alone would delay each new hire. This module owns each
command transaction and starts its worker after commit. A periodic scan
recovers work after a process stops.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change adds the lifecycle boundary for the existing agent and
plugin systems. It does not add a user interface or a provider
implementation. It replaces the lifecycle delivery approach in #15391.
Related proposals include #11475 and #13099; this change does not add
their external executor protocols.

## What Changed

- Add durable approval, preparation, verification, pause, resume, stop,
and cleanup states.
- Keep agent creation, lifecycle state, configuration writes, and agent
record deletion behind `modules/agent-lifecycle`. Keep validation,
credential rules, reads, onboarding, invitations, general approvals, and
company data deletion in their services.
- Commit a hire before the remaining onboarding or invitation work.
Serialize requests with the existing dedicated database connection
helper. Reuse the hire after a failed attempt.
- Keep accepted work in the run queue during setup. Require execution
and cleanup evidence before completing pause or termination.
- Retain the original credential owner when approving migrated hires.
- Start lifecycle work after each command commits. Use database leases
and revision checks for retries and late results.
- Add a generic required plugin method and capability. Store the
required plugin IDs for each agent. Track host and plugin completion
separately.
- Keep harness verification and credential rules in services. Supply
their results to lifecycle through explicit ports. Reject failed logins
and incomplete probes.
- Remove reverse imports from lifecycle adapters into services. Share
record queries and validation below both layers.
- Use one hire decision path for agent IDs and approval IDs. Resolve the
approval and agent change in one transaction. Expose policy
reconciliation on the command object.
- Save configuration and verification invalidation through one module
operation. Ordinary commands own their transaction. Restrict the shared
transaction integration to its listed callers. Reject identity, company,
accounting, timestamp, and unknown fields.
- Require completed termination before deleting agent records. The
company deletion service calls the module through a separate deletion
interface.
- Save an approved secret before applying its agent binding. A failed
binding leaves the secret approved. A retry reuses it.
- Remove old permission and metadata export files. Move hire
configuration rules out of lifecycle persistence.
- Report failed worker steps and scans with operation context and known
error codes. Omit provider messages, stacks, and configuration values.
Document ordinary application use and extension rules.
- Recover expired native owners only after execution stops. Retry
cleanup of failed retained leases. Wait for setup in the live smoke
script.
- Keep manual, budget, and company pause reasons separate. Guard
execution status writes with the ready state.
- Add a migration, boundary checks, regression tests, and a lifecycle
guide. Keep the current UI.
- Limit periodic policy checks to 100 eligible agents per minute.
Continue from the last agent ID. Exclude pending hires and agents in
termination or a final state. Keep explicit company and budget updates
immediate.

## Verification

- Latest head `ccc3c86b0` aligns the shared status update schema with
the PATCH route. All 15 shared tests, 104 server route/OpenAPI tests, 2
CLI tests, and shared/server/CLI TypeScript checks pass. The Greptile
comment is fixed. CI is running; no new Apex review was requested for
this small fix.

- Rebase `75708ac94` rebases onto master at `2eb5187e4`. The backup test
uses the shared 90-second timeout from master; the older timeout commit
was removed. The affected backup test passes.
- Agent budget edits now pass the target agent ID through enforcement.
All 50 affected tests, server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass.
Both configuration update paths have regression coverage. CI is running
on the latest head. No new Apex review was requested for these small
fixes.

- Rebase `9b568666a` preserves the run-control extraction and
delivery-work startup changes from master. All 559 affected tests,
server TypeScript, and 11 boundary tests pass. CI and Apex review are
running on the final head.
- The policy scan fix passes 56 lifecycle and diagnostic tests, 24
policy and caller tests, and 11 boundary tests. A regression test checks
the page limit, interval, excluded states, and cursor wraparound.

- Rebase `fd4698750` passes all 611 tests in eight affected lifecycle,
route, and heartbeat suites. Server TypeScript and all 11 module
boundary tests pass. The company deletion rollback and concurrent hire
tests are included.

- Follow-up `00aac7646` fixes the failed decision deletion test and the
public update schema. All 126 affected server tests, 8 shared tests, 2
CLI tests, and 11 boundary tests pass. Shared, server, CLI, and UI
TypeScript checks pass.

- Server TypeScript passes: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc
--noEmit`.
- All 11 boundary tests pass: `node --test
scripts/check-module-boundaries.test.mjs`. The repository boundary scan
also passes.
- All 68 lifecycle, failure diagnostic, and harness verification tests
pass. Tests reject forbidden fields through the root command, combined
transition command, and restricted transaction integration. They also
check invalid fields returned by configuration preparation.
- Failure tests cover host work, plugin work, claims, renewals,
deferrals, and scans. Log tests check known error codes and exclusion of
private error contents.
- All 355 tests in 10 existing caller suites pass. These tests cover
secret approval, pairing, pending hires, credentials, company import,
built-in agents, managed agents, instructions, and skills.
- The branch is rebased onto `origin/master` at `2eb5187e4`. The queue
guards and cancellation lock fix use the extracted heartbeat queue.
Agent cancellation uses the extracted run-control file. The source diff
scan found no secrets or private URLs.
- Earlier checks cover approval retries, rollback, late verification
results, policy holds, deletion rollback, concurrent company deletion,
and queue admission during setup.
- Before the rebase, CI passed on `00aac7646` and Greptile Apex rated it
5/5 with no open comments. CI and a new Apex review are pending for the
rebased commit. The branch has no merge conflicts.
- The full local build and native Dot suite were not run. The host has
no Cargo. No live provider test was run.

## Risks

- Background policy recovery takes more than one minute when more than
100 agents are eligible. Explicit company and budget updates still
reconcile immediately.

- The restricted configuration integration keeps an agent reference and
its dependent records in one transaction. It cannot change a budget or
invoke a lifecycle transition. A periodic scan starts pending setup
after that transaction commits.
- Secret approval and binding use separate transactions. A failed
binding can leave an approved secret with no agent binding.
- New approved hires remain unavailable until setup and verification
complete. Existing clients see `paused` during these steps. This PR does
not change the UI.
- Migration `0320_daily_onslaught.sql` maps existing statuses and pause
reasons. It does not create external resources or claim that an existing
harness passed verification.
- Use a coordinated server update for this migration. Older server
versions can write legacy status without the new lifecycle checks.
- A failed onboarding or invitation request can leave a committed hire.
A retry reuses that hire and completes the remaining records.
- Deletion requires completed termination. Company deletion can require
another request while cleanup is pending.
- Required plugins must make repeated calls safe and reject older
revisions. A disabled or removed required plugin blocks completion until
it is restored.
- A new hire can run a second harness test after the existing UI test.
Some adapters can charge for this test.
- No live provider test was run. Provider implementation and resource
backfill remain separate work.

DottaandPaperclip d66acb7ac1 feat: automate Slack bot app setup and installation (#15413)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat connectors give each agent a customer-owned bot and task-backed
conversations.
> - Manual Slack setup requires app creation and copying durable
credentials.
> - Operators need a shorter setup that an assisting agent can use
safely.
> - This pull request creates the app through Slack's Manifest API and
installs it through OAuth.
> - Durable registration state supports recovery without creating
another app.
> - A four-screen wizard, automatic avatar upload, and OAuth account
linking reduce setup work.
> - Connector settings and per-turn tool guidance support daily use
after installation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native Slack bot setup, company secret storage, chat connector
management, and agent tool guidance.

**Problem or motivation**

New Slack bots require manual app creation and copying a signing secret
and bot token. Interrupted setup can create duplicate apps. The setup
and management screens contain unnecessary controls. Agents also need
guidance for native questions, files, thread replies, and governed Slack
actions.

**Proposed solution**

Use a temporary app-configuration access token to create a
customer-owned app. Save durable secrets in the vault. Bind OAuth to the
initiating actor, company, endpoint, registration revision, scopes, and
configured origins. Preserve manual and existing-app recovery. Link the
installing user's account, send a welcome DM, and advance from saved
server evidence. Keep request-URL recovery instructions available if
automatic connection detection waits.

**Alternatives considered**

The Slack CLI adds installation requirements. Socket Mode changes
transport. A shared Paperclip-owned app changes app ownership. These
alternatives are outside this change.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends existing chat connectors and secrets capabilities. Related
public work: #14037 and #13954 cover Slack MCP prerequisites and user
OAuth. No duplicate bot-registration PR was found.

## What Changed

- Share one reviewed manifest builder between automatic registration and
manual setup.
- Add replay-safe migration 0318 and company-bound registration state
with vault references and uncertain-creation recovery.
- Add registration, installation, callback, and resume APIs with
short-lived, single-use OAuth state.
- Save installation credentials before downstream checks and preserve
bot identity constraints.
- Reduce automatic setup to four screens. Keep advanced app details,
manual recovery, and existing-app setup.
- Upload the agent avatar with the Paperclip dark background. Link the
OAuth installer's account and send setup DMs.
- Show agent and connector-owner avatars. Simplify settings, access, and
conversation screens.
- Discover joined Slack channels and enable them by default. Start a
task from a bare mention and admit same-thread follow-ups.
- Refresh Slack tool guidance each turn. Add native-form, file,
approval, and delivery regressions plus manual model probe definitions
and sanitized acceptance records.
- Update deployment/database docs, OpenAPI, redaction, removal cleanup,
production Storybook stories, and provider browser tests.
- Merge current master and move the registration migration after its
latest migration without rewriting published commits.

The completed Slack success view intentionally has a single centered
**Done** action and no **Save & exit**, as explicitly requested by the
product owner. `DESIGN.md` records this exception; unfinished setup
steps retain the aligned wizard footer.

## Verification

- Passed after the master merge: repository typecheck, full build,
Storybook build, design-token gates, module-boundary gates, and
migration generation.
- Passed: all 352 focused Slack deterministic tests and all 14 affected
provider browser tests. Browser tests use controlled provider fixtures
and a separate throwaway instance.
- Passed on current head `c5d01e0e2`: the complete GitHub test matrix
(general server, chat, all workspaces, serialized server, and Runner),
all eight browser shards, typecheck/release registry, build, canary dry
run, security checks, and policy gates. There are 52 passing checks and
no pending or failing checks.
- Greptile completed on the exact current head with 5/5 and no
actionable findings or open review threads.
- Local repair verification passed 93 focused tests, including same-app
reinstall after revocation and rejection of consent started before
revocation, the AgentMail browser journey, and repository typecheck.
Local build and Storybook build also passed. The redundant local
full-suite rerun was stopped after the complete current-head CI matrix
passed.
- Real Slack setup and agent replies were exercised in the authorized
isolated test drive during the setup iteration.
- The ten additional model probes were attempted with legacy
`codex_local`, `gpt-5.6-sol`: five passed, two failed, and three were
partly verified. Native runtime is not qualified. See
`server/src/services/connectors/slack/evals/2026-10-08-acceptance.md`
for evidence and limits.
- Passing model probes cover native forms, downloaded file bytes, bare
mentions with thread replies, explicit posts/reactions, and saved
approval denial.
- The controlled uncertain-write probe found wrong delivery-check IDs.
The canvas fallback attempt used an invented tool name. Search
pagination/native search, a private-source denied-tool receipt, and
distinct board/webhook origins remain unqualified.

Reviewer path: enable Chat connectors, start Slack chat setup, select an
agent, enter an app-configuration access token, and approve Slack
installation. Send a message to the bot and confirm that setup advances
to success. Inspect settings and allowed channels. See
`doc/connections/SLACK-AUTOMATIC-SETUP.md` for deployment and recovery.

## Risks

- Slack app creation has no provider idempotency guarantee. A timeout
after dispatch stays uncertain until the operator checks Slack.
- OAuth needs a stable public HTTPS board origin. Webhook ingress may
use a separate configured HTTPS origin. Workspace policy can delay
installation.
- Migration 0318 can replay safely on instances that applied the earlier
development migration.
- OAuth installation now links the installer to the initiating Paperclip
user. Identity checks and company access rules still apply.
- Joined channels now enable bot responses by default. Linked-user
authorization and per-action approval rules still apply.
- Model behavior has the documented delivery-check and canvas fallback
failures. A passing CI run does not establish that every model probe
passed.
- Removing the connection does not delete the customer's Slack app. No
new first-party telemetry is added.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification. The runtime does not expose a more
specific authoring model ID or context-window size. The live bot probes
used OpenAI `gpt-5.6-sol` through `codex_local` in legacy mode.

DottaandPaperclip a7a244ab33 feat: add company decision models with permission and cost controls (#15473)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Optional product features need small, typed model decisions.
> - Each company needs to choose which shared API connection pays for
those decisions.
> - Calls must retain user and task permissions, budget limits, and cost
attribution.
> - This pull request adds a managed decision service, setup UI, and
request history.
> - Features can check availability cheaply and keep their existing
behavior when decisions are unavailable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server services, shared contracts, database accounting, Company
Settings, and Costs.

**Problem or motivation**

Paperclip has no common decision-model service. Adding provider calls
within each feature would duplicate credential access, permission
checks, and billing rules.

**Proposed solution**

Let a connection manager configure one company decision model. Support
OpenAI Decisions and Jev through OpenRouter. Provide a fixed setup test
and metadata-only history. Default company-sponsored background
decisions to on during setup, and preserve a saved off setting.

**Alternatives considered**

Per-feature credentials would duplicate existing connection management.
Personal overrides and provider fallback chains add permission and
billing complexity; they remain deferred.

**Roadmap alignment**

Reviewed ROADMAP.md and searched open PRs. This extends existing
connection access and budget accounting. Product features that call the
service remain outside this change. No matching decision-model service
PR was found.

## What Changed

- Add company settings, an internal `decisionModelService`, local
availability checks, and trusted human, agent/run, and system contexts.
- Pin Vercel AI SDK provider dependencies and adapt boolean, choice, and
ordered-score decisions for both providers. Bound requests and time;
disable paid retries.
- Add durable invocation metadata and agentless decision ledger charges.
Preserve fractional cents, pricing evidence, dispatch identity, and
unresolved billing holds.
- Share the company accounting lock and apply company, agent, and
project budgets. Settle charges once, retain unknown holds, and recover
interrupted calls without resubmission.
- Reuse connection setup and management UI. Add a Decisions view under
Costs, production-component Storybook coverage, database migration, and
service documentation.

## Verification

- Passed 166 current-code tests covering the decision service/provider,
setup component, Costs, OpenAPI, and every failure from the earlier
broad run. Coverage includes native SDK wire formats, refusals, billed
malformed responses, permission and secret-rotation races, identity
changes, concurrent budget admission, unresolved holds, agent/task
deletion, and stale setup feedback.
- Passed 170 existing connection, cost, budget, heartbeat-accounting,
and profile regression tests.
- Passed repository typecheck, production build, and design token gates
after integrating master. Verified the generated migration on a fresh
test database and upgraded the populated preview database from the
branch's earlier migration without losing settings or usage.
- Ran the required full `pnpm test:run`: its general phase completed
with 16,354 passed and 10 failures across five files while this branch
was still being updated. Every reported failure passes in the
current-code rerun; the serialized phase did not run after that failure.
The full GitHub CI suite passed on `b1b856a88`: general and serialized
tests, browser shards, runner checks, typecheck, production build,
packaging/canary, and policy gates. [CI
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37673106360).
- Passed the full-shell Storybook setup-to-history interaction test
again after integrating master. Greptile rates the final revision 5/5
with zero unresolved threads.
- Walked through the running app: empty setup, add each provider, save,
reload, run all three sample questions, inspect fractional charges in
history, switch provider while sponsorship is off, disable, and
reconnect. Checked mobile settings. These tests used the actual UI,
vault, server, SDKs, and database with simulated upstream responses.
- Live paid setup tests remain unverified: this environment has no
authorized OpenAI/OpenRouter credentials available. No mocked test is
presented as live provider evidence.

Reviewer journey: Company Settings → General → Decision model.
Add/select a shared API connection, save, run the billed sample, open
View usage, then disable decisions and verify Run test is disabled after
reload.

## Risks

- The SDK decision interface is experimental. Pinned versions and
wire-format tests limit upgrade drift.
- The migration allows agentless service charges and reservations.
Existing agent cost-reporting APIs still require an agent, and decision
receipts stay separate from run reconciliation.
- Timeouts can have unknown provider charges. Holds remain until an
audited accounting correction resolves them.
- OpenAI prices use a versioned Decisions rate snapshot; OpenRouter
costs use provider receipts. Unknown pricing is retained as unknown.
- A configured company authorizes background spending by default. Setup
explains this, and managers can turn it off.
- Live provider account/model availability still needs the two
credentialed acceptance checks.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 8cfedd7df8 fix(runner): restore task monitors and durable timed waits (#15446)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their task execution.
> - Agents need a durable way to return to work after a delayed check.
> - The issue monitor scheduler already provides a one-shot wake for an
assignee.
> - Native runners reject generic execution-policy writes and had no
bound monitor tool.
> - Scheduling alone is insufficient because native completion also
needs to accept a timed wait.
> - This pull request adds an authorized monitor tool and connects it to
completion and the existing scheduler.
> - An agent can now schedule its next check, end the run, and resume on
the same task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native runner could not set its own task monitor. `call_api` correctly
rejected execution-policy writes, while `schedule_wake` had no
production binding. `paperclip_finish` also rejected monitor waits.

**Expected behavior**

A standard native run can set a one-shot monitor on its current task or
another accessible task assigned to the same agent. After a confirmed
schedule on the current task, it can yield. The scheduler later delivers
`issue_monitor_due`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a standard native task.
2. Ask the agent to check the task again later and end its current run.
3. Inspect available tools and try the generic issue execution-policy
update.
4. Observe the missing native tool and the lifecycle-write denial.

Related PRs: #14680 concerns monitor notes in the shared wake prompt.
#11919 changes attempt-limit scope. This PR adds native scheduling and
completion authority and retains the existing cumulative attempt bounds.
It does not depend on either PR.

## What Changed

- Add provider-neutral `set_task_monitor` with a default current-task
target, future timestamp, required notes, existing bounds, and explicit
clearing.
- Check company, task visibility, ownership, runtime permissions, work
mode, and active-run authority. Preserve review-only restrictions.
Reject the reserved server-owned quota-recovery name before saving or
accepting a native wait.
- Commit the monitor, audit event, and retry receipt together. Retry
receipts survive a successor run without re-arming cleared or consumed
timers.
- Permit `paperclip_finish` to yield to a persisted monitor. Recheck
ownership and the schedule when committing final disposition. Release
execution without an immediate continuation.
- Preserve due monitors during native execution. Fence wake admission
and consumption against replacement, clearing, reassignment, and
completion. Preserve unrelated review policy.
- Expose scheduled and consumed monitor instructions in task context.
Update provider schemas, Rust validation, generated contracts, and
execution documentation.
- Add an opt-in live Codex smoke script with isolated data and explicit
run/session/runner/process evidence.

## Verification

- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after rebase.
Server typecheck passed again after review fixes. All CI test shards
pass on `3def77b1b`, including runner TypeScript/Rust, server,
serialized server, workspace, and browser tests. All CI gates are green,
including the canary dry run. Greptile is 5/5 on the same commit with
zero unresolved threads.
- The local monolithic `pnpm test:run`, started before the rebase, was
interrupted after current-head CI test coverage passed. It is not
counted as a standalone full-suite pass; the focused local regression
suites passed.
- Targeted server tests cover scheduling, replacement, clearing, policy
preservation, cumulative bounds, cross-run retries, permissions,
provider-neutral discovery, review restrictions, completion authority,
and scheduler/finalizer races.
- Runner contract/catalog/semantic tests and Rust terminal-tool tests
cover the new operation and monitor completion.
- Live Codex test passed twice (latest live run on `e0bcd63e6`) in a
temporary database and workspace, with a 300,000 ms warm window. First
run `67bd7709-c089-4d4a-9d2b-0d6b618a34b0` yielded at
`2026-10-07T13:15:03.274Z`. Second run
`97c323f9-595a-4cc5-a007-db5a2fbb937c` started at `13:15:30.952Z`,
received `issue_monitor_due`, and completed the same task. Exactly one
monitor wake was recorded.
- Both live runs used native session
`7b1dd753-1c9b-4e7a-b22f-a125dbc3748c`, runner
`e90d9a1b-3502-4ee3-b15e-edc024c555d4`, provider session
`01a11680-6d01-70c0-9a55-db7246ed66c3`, and PID `64218` with the same
process start time. This proves warm reuse for that local Codex test,
not only successful scheduling.
- Reproduce the paid live test with `node --import
./server/node_modules/tsx/dist/loader.mjs
server/scripts/smoke-native-task-monitor.ts --run`, with the installed
Codex binary on `PATH` and a valid local login.

## Risks

- The scheduler now defers monitor dispatch while the task has an active
native run. A stuck run still depends on the existing recovery
lifecycle.
- Idempotency uses the existing run ledger; no table or migration is
added.
- Other providers share the tested tool and completion contracts. Only
Codex received a live model test.
- Existing `call_api` lifecycle restrictions remain enforced. Monitor
waits do not bypass task blockers, reviews, or approvals.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with tool use, code execution, and
TypeScript/Rust editing. The session does not expose the exact deployed
model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip a9a20fb5c6 feat(security): add read-only customer-success inspection APIs (#15405)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents need a persistent identity and a verified active run for
governed access.
> - Customer-success inspection needs broad reads without tenant writes
or secret access.
> - Ordinary board login and database credentials give more authority
than this task needs.
> - This pull request adds a dedicated inspection API and strict
managed-run authority.
> - Cloud owns short grants, human approval, replay protection, and
audit records.
> - The benefit is inspectable access that an operator can disable
immediately.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #15352. This change reuses the persistent Ed25519 identity from
that PR.

**Subsystem affected**

Server authentication, pure resource readers, and the shared wire
contract.

**Problem or motivation**

One internal Paperclip agent must inspect customer onboarding work. It
must not receive owner login or database credentials. Reads must not
create customer sessions, memberships, activity, or read receipts.

**Proposed solution**

Add disabled-by-default run authority and versioned tenant inspection
endpoints. Require strict instance-bound managed-run JWTs on the home
instance. Require exact-operation, single-use Cloud permits on tenants.
Execute a reviewed company-scoped catalog in read-only transactions.
Cloud applies seven-day stack-age eligibility and human exceptions.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is access support for Cloud deployments and governed agent
identities. Bot creation, scheduling, scoring, and reports are separate
work. The maintainer requested this implementation.

## What Changed

- Reuse existing public identity reads and managed private-key
injection. Reject unprovisioned keys, paused agents, ended runs, legacy
signatures, and wrong instances.
- Mount `/api/customer-success/v1` before actor/session synchronization.
Verify Cloud permits and consume them centrally before reading.
- Add explicit company-scoped database readers and bounded instruction,
skill snapshot, run log, workspace, and asset reads. Preserve existing
redactions and file protections.
- Add protocol, security, database immutability, and managed-agent
qualification tests. Add deployment and rollback documentation.

## Verification

- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Server typecheck
passed after review fixes.
- The broad local `pnpm test:run` recorded 14,277 passes and four
failures in unchanged suites: two timeouts and two PR-metadata mock
assertions. All three affected suites passed on isolated reruns (36
tests). The complete CI matrix passes at the final head, including every
test lane, typecheck, build, runner checks, canary dry run, and the
security scan.
- Focused inspection, JWT, and existing identity tests pass. The catalog
test compares every public database table before and after reads.
- Inspection and route-contract tests: 22 passed. The coordinated test
runs a real managed process agent against separate home/customer
PostgreSQL databases and a PostgreSQL broker over HTTP. It proves wake
through the existing controller, bounded binary file reads, single
challenge consumption across replicas, concurrent grants with a
two-connection pool, scoped SQL audits, append-only runtime auditing,
one-year retention, and unchanged tenant data/files.
- Run the coordinated test with `PAPERCLIP_INSPECTION_CLOUD_DIST`
pointing at the sibling Cloud build. Normal unit runs skip that optional
private integration.
- Final-head Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- No production deployment or customer inspection occurred.

## Risks

- This adds an authentication boundary. Keep both feature flags disabled
until coordinated staging and canary qualification.
- Cloud support must deploy after this API. Unsupported tenants fail
closed. There is no owner-login or database fallback.
- Existing redactions remain the content boundary. Arbitrary pasted
secrets in readable prose or files may remain.
- Remote files and suppressed provider traces remain unavailable. Wake
can cause normal startup/background writes; test those separately.
- Disable Cloud policy first during rollback. Preserve existing identity
material and Cloud audit history.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, code execution, and browser
testing. The session does not expose a more specific deployment ID or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip b508a05c43 feat: add internal agent complaints and suggestions (#15367)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use legacy skills or native runner tools to work on tasks.
> - Those agents can encounter friction that does not belong in the task
thread.
> - A complaint should preserve the raw reaction. A suggestion should
describe an improvement.
> - This pull request adds attributed local storage and both submission
paths.
> - Agents can submit feedback once and continue their primary work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server, database, shared contracts, runtime skills, and native runner
tools.

**Problem or motivation**

Agents have no default internal channel for incidental complaints and
suggestions. Sending this feedback through task comments adds noise and
can alter task workflows.

**Proposed solution**

Store free-form feedback in the current instance database. Derive agent,
run, company, and task attribution from active authority. Provide
default legacy skills and provider-neutral native actions. Keep the
instructions close to Warp's MIT-licensed originals.

**Alternatives considered**

Task comments and external Slack delivery add unwanted side effects.
Mandatory suggestion fields and short editorial limits would discard
useful feedback. This release has no listing API, UI, read tool,
automatic triage, or external forwarding.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is a maintainer-requested addition to the existing runtime skills
and runner tool paths. It does not duplicate a listed roadmap milestone.
Searches for complaint tooling, suggestion-box, and agent commentary
found no overlapping public PR or issue.

## What Changed

- Add the company-scoped `agent_commentary` table, shared validation,
and idempotent migration `0310`.
- Add one transactional service and the agent-only POST route. Validate
active authority before writes or replay. Redact known credentials.
Commit a content-free audit with each new record.
- Add `submit_complaint` and `submit_suggestion` to standard, ask, and
planning modes. Keep review, revocation, and completion restrictions.
Store replay identity on the commentary row.
- Mount `complain` and `suggestion-box` by default for legacy agents.
Bundle a dependency-free Node.js stdin helper in the operational skill
and allow its POST through the sandbox bridge.
- Preserve Warp's complaint voice and suggestion guidance, with
attribution and local transport adaptations. Keep source attribution and
MIT notices in each skill's LICENSE, outside runtime instructions.
- Document custom-runtime HTTP use and database inspection. Add
real-database tests and a repeatable live Codex smoke for local and
Daytona execution.
- Pin the lagging-source migration fixture before the identity-repair
migration so later migrations preserve its regression coverage.

## Verification

- Personally ran real Codex submissions in all four environments on
2026-10-06. Local runs passed at 20:35 UTC. Daytona native passed at
20:31 UTC; Daytona legacy passed at 20:33 UTC. Each stored exactly two
rows with company, agent, run, and task attribution, wrote the
continuation marker, exited zero, created no task comments, and left
task status unchanged. Each recorded two content-free activity entries.
- Daytona used production provider hooks, real remote execution and file
transfer, the legacy queue callback bridge, and native private WebSocket
ingress. The current Linux runner was built from `abf47b595`, staged,
and verified against controller contracts. Both sandboxes were confirmed
deleted. This is a focused feedback transport smoke; it does not claim
full Runner E2E catalog or browser qualification.
- The immutable base image and Linux binary digest are recorded in [the
verification
documentation](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/agent-commentary/doc/agent-commentary.md#verification).
The smoke script can save content-free JSON evidence. No credentials or
feedback bodies are in these reports.

| Environment | Runner | Complaint row | Suggestion row |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| local | legacy Codex | `59413a00-1de2-4bb1-bcc6-9c4b54c64aa6` |
`3db2364d-3e15-4f47-846f-875d3902999d` |
| local | native Codex | `5da22b5f-41df-4de5-8ba0-d9345ab01267` |
`2d5abe17-dd41-403c-a5ee-4729f2d58921` |
| daytona | legacy Codex | `27c9d0aa-8477-409f-9da0-e8ffa48dee50` |
`209681c9-d1e9-4ce1-999e-48fa07692389` |
| daytona | native Codex | `6eb001bb-4bcf-43f7-8717-f662f53dc7c3` |
`77c383d8-a997-49e5-a33e-25c70e15c0b2` |

- Run the local check with `node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
server/scripts/verify-agent-commentary-live.ts`. The documentation gives
the Daytona invocation. Both use disposable instance databases and
normal Codex provider usage.
- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after the test
extension. The build includes runner generation, contracts, and replay
checks. The smoke scripts also passed a separate TypeScript check. The
lagging-source migration regression passed. All equivalent current-head
Vitest CI shards passed. The local monolithic `pnpm test:run` invocation
was stopped after CI supplied that coverage; it did not complete
locally.
- Focused tests cover company isolation, spoofing, revoked credentials,
stale ownership, post-finish rejection, concurrent replay, conflicting
keys, atomic rollback, and deletion through existing services. Boundary
tests cover empty text, Unicode, text beyond 8,000 characters, and the
524,288-character ceiling without truncation. Mounting tests cover
Codex, Claude, and sandbox staging. Helper tests cover standalone Node
execution, stdin, invalid UTF-8, redirects, HTTP failure, and its
deadline. Privacy and bridge tests cover successful and rejected
requests.
- Instructions were compared with Warp's originals. MIT notices and
source credits live only in LICENSE files. Native tools preserve
truthful disclosure when asked, without routine announcements.
- [Full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37508559190)
and Greptile 5/5 passed on the earlier feature commit `5209c3501`. The
later head found the migration-fixture assumption fixed in this update.
On `8a4965164`, all 55 check contexts passed after one browser shard
rerun. Its initial reviewer signoff failure also passed an isolated
local browser run (1 test). Greptile scored that head 5/5 and identified
one smoke cleanup gap. `6ecbafb0b` fixes failed-acquisition cleanup with
four passing tests and a passing smoke-script typecheck. Fresh CI is
pending for this final test-only fix. No commentary production code
changed during verification.

## Risks

- Feedback is internally attributed. It is not anonymous. Existing
redaction removes known credentials, but agents must still omit
sensitive content. Normal provider transcripts can include their
submitted arguments.
- Default skill availability changes for existing legacy agents. Runtime
policy filtering still applies. The helper uses the existing Node.js
runtime with no extra dependencies; custom runtimes can call the HTTP
endpoint.
- Feedback is removed with its run, agent, or company. Task deletion
clears only the issue pointer. Normal database backups include the
table.
- The migration is additive and has no backfill. Writes serialize on the
active run for replay consistency. No server suggestion quota is
imposed.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` through Codex, with `xhigh` reasoning effort and a
reported 258,400-token context window. Capabilities used: repository
inspection, code execution, and live runtime verification. No subagents
were used.

DottaandPaperclip 9f7057e122 feat(connections): configure custom model providers across agent harnesses (#14970)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use a harness, a model, and a credential to run tasks.
> - Connections already store credentials and control who can use them.
> - Custom providers also need an endpoint and a supported API format.
> - A per-agent endpoint would duplicate credentials and access rules.
> - This pull request stores routing on the connection and projects it
into the harness.
> - Isolated credentials and protocol checks keep the selected
connection authoritative.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

#14016 is a reference only. This PR has its own schema, vault
persistence, routing validation, runtime projection, and tests. None of
the five commits in #14016 is an ancestor of this branch. We do not
depend on or plan to merge it. #14967 addresses task-pinned account
pools. #14422 addresses another provider integration.

This is the first of two linked PRs. Merge this connection change before
#15341, which refines agent setup and adds the qualification harness.
The split keeps each review below 100 changed files. Provider catalog
entries have usable setup forms in this PR. Local browser subscription
sign-in is included.

## What Changed

- Store non-secret routing metadata on AI connections. Vault provider
API keys, including Bedrock bearer API keys. Reject general AWS access
keys.
- Enforce company, owner, human audience, agent access, connection
status, and protocol checks before resolving credentials. Keep reconnect
destinations immutable and retain connection identity during key
rotation.
- Project OpenRouter and compatible custom endpoints into Codex, Claude,
OpenCode, and local Hermes. Carry these settings through both legacy and
native runner transports. Clear conflicting host credentials and redact
keys from diagnostics.
- Preserve older OpenRouter accounts and native personal defaults. Add
Google API-key accounts and migration `0306` for the two
provider-default constraints.
- Run local Claude and Codex subscription sign-in behind the existing
browser sign-in card. Use private attempt homes and owner-bound
completion instead of a copied terminal command.
- Seed isolated Gemini authentication and preserve OpenCode workspace
permissions. Keep the selected connection authoritative. The independent
Gemini and Grok workflow fixes are in #15341.
- Keep native OpenCode custom gateway keys in a runner-owned
selected-model proxy; the harness config contains only a session-scoped
capability. Honor runtime outgoing proxy and certificate settings.
Preserve streamed responses and revoke the proxy on close or startup
failure.
- Allow ordinary members to connect native personal accounts before an
agent exists.
- Repair routed accounts from task cards using the saved provider
destination, protocol, model aliases, and connection identity.
- Add provider catalog definitions, model discovery, pinned logos, and
complete native and routed setup forms. Allow a personal routed
connection before a new agent exists. Keep endpoint authentication keys
out of Hermes terminal children.
- Recover cancelled or restarted browser sign-in with a clear restart
action. Support no-auth endpoints without a vault credential. Add
isolation and recovery regressions and runtime documentation.

## Verification

- Updated with `origin/master` at `22a3ea341`. Migration `0306` follows
the new master migration and passes migration and snapshot checks.
- The integrated connection regressions passed 152 tests and 50 native
OpenCode driver tests, including key-free child-shell configuration
reads, authenticated/no-auth forwarding, streaming, model/path
restrictions, cancellation, outgoing proxy routing, and NO_PROXY bypass.
Provider setup has 14 passing tests. The pinned real OpenCode 1.18.34
executable also completed a turn through the proxy against a local
synthetic provider; the reusable key was absent from its config. A
second real-executable smoke passed with an HTTPS CONNECT proxy and
runtime-specific synthetic certificate trust. Certificate-file and
certificate-directory regressions pass.
- Task-card repair passed 48 tests, including OpenRouter, Bedrock, and
custom gateway reconnect cases. UI typecheck and token gates passed.
- The prior core regression set passed 133 tests across new-agent setup,
provider forms, browser sign-in, routing projection, and connection
authorization. Token gates and UI typecheck passed.
- Full workspace typecheck and production build passed again after the
latest integration and credential-proxy fix. The merged deterministic
runner E2E suite passed 1,400 Vitest tests and 128 Node tests.
- Full workspace typecheck passed on the prior linked combined
implementation. Production build, Storybook build, 1,316 browser-harness
Vitest tests, and 128 Node tests passed. Head `9d964c8d9` includes the
latest master integration and regenerated migration. This exact head
passed 54 remote checks with four expected skips and Greptile 5/5; no
review threads remain open. An unchanged server fixture had a random
six-character issue-prefix collision on its first attempt. All 245 tests
passed locally and the single CI retry passed.
- A provider-free terminal check used the cited supported Hermes source
and dummy keys. Gateway and OpenRouter terminal children could not read
the selected key.
- The broad local Vitest attempt passed 15,442 tests but was not green.
It had an embedded-Postgres startup failure, an HTTP logger timeout, an
origin socket error, and a browser cancellation wait timeout. The
cancellation wait was corrected. The relevant connection tests and the
full origin test file passed separately. Latest-head CI must pass before
merge.
- Prior credential-backed acceptance exercised task creation, tool use,
artifact delivery, completion, and context-dependent follow-up. Claude
legacy and native runners passed Bedrock with `us-east-1` and
`us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-6`.
- Historical local qualification retained 43 passing API/gateway cells
out of 46. Those attempts span earlier builds. They do not qualify this
exact commit or staging. All subscription combinations and staging
remain unqualified.
- Verify native subscription and API-key setup. Connect a regular
provider catalog row. Verify an incompatible harness and a changed
reconnect URL are rejected. Use #15341 for the complete browser
campaign.

## Risks

- Migration `0306` changes two check constraints. It preserves rows and
is safe to reapply. It takes normal constraint-change locks.
- Credential projection touches several harnesses. CLI upgrades can
change provider configuration and session behavior.
- The native OpenCode proxy adds a loopback hop, pins requests to the
selected model, limits request bodies to 16 MiB, rejects redirects, and
expires at session close. It prevents reusable keys in the child
configuration; it is not an OS isolation boundary against a process
debugger running as the same user.
- Custom endpoints must be reachable from the agent environment. Saving
a connection does not prove connectivity. Bedrock keys require rotation
before expiry.
- Gemini CLI 0.58.0 has an upstream ACP new-file error conversion
defect. Provider overloads and an unresolved follow-up timeout also
affect live Gemini qualification. We have not patched the installed CLI
or marked those cases as passing.
- OpenClaw Gateway, Hermes Gateway, Claude Managed, AWS AgentCore,
Process, HTTP, and legacy ACPX local are excluded. Vertex, ambient AWS
identity, arbitrary auth headers, and custom routing for other harnesses
are excluded.
- These PRs do not establish production or staging qualification for
every provider and login method.

## 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

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 0e0b63e5a5 feat(connections): add experimental task-pinned AI routing (#14967)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - AI Connections separate account access from models and harnesses.
> - A pool must act as one connection while retaining each task’s
account.
> - Core must enforce member access and preserve session and recovery
rules.
> - A plugin supplies rotation policy without receiving credentials.
> - This change adds durable routing and native connector setup and
management.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

AI Connections, Connectors, plugins, run dispatch, and session
compatibility.

**Problem or motivation**

Operators need to rotate new tasks across saved accounts while each task
keeps its account and session. Pool setup must fit the existing
connector catalog and account workflow.

**Proposed solution**

Add an experimental router binding, a capability-gated plugin hook, and
transactional task pins. Plugins declare native pooled connectors
through `aiConnectionRouter`. Core hosts the existing-account picker,
ordering step, and account settings. Related usage contract: #14936.
Companion private plugin:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/643.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Apps and AI Connections. Core supplies generic enforcement
and native connector UI; the private plugin owns rotation and quota
policy. The prior duplicate search found no matching router
implementation.

## What Changed

- Add a router binding without changing existing concrete bindings. Keep
the instance flag and new pools disabled by default. Require manual
operator configuration. Show no routing toggle in Experimental settings
on either open-source or Cloud installs, even after routing is enabled.
- Persist company-scoped pools, one shared cursor per pool, and pins
keyed by company, pool, agent, and task. Commit pins and cursor advances
together with revision checks and bounded retries. Persist run-ID
affinity before allocation.
- Pass only authorized metadata and normalized usage to plugins. Core
retains credential handling, member access checks, runtime
qualification, and recovery evidence. Probe outside locks with a shared
15-second budget and freshness cache.
- Resolve routing before credential preparation and backend selection.
Preserve pins through turns, session resets, removed members, and quota
waits. Retain admitted recovery after disable or uninstall.
- Separate credential session epochs from token generations. Verified
refresh preserves the epoch; reconnect and manual replacement change it.
Include the credential slot ID in session and usage-cache identity, so
reconnecting an indexed legacy account invalidates its old session even
when both epochs are zero.
- Validate pool member installations before accepting saved-agent
bindings and recheck compatibility when the harness changes. Install
only authorized members in the new-agent transaction and record their
IDs in local activity. Pool membership cannot install a restricted
shared connection.
- Preserve pool bindings when agents hire teammates through either
creation API or native caller runtime inheritance. Block stale manager
credential references; retain explicit child authentication precedence
and reject incompatible inherited pools.
- Add native connector registration through plugin metadata. Reuse the
Connectors catalog, setup header, account header, sidebar, dialogs, and
usage display. Setup selects and orders saved connections. Advanced
settings hold usage rules and member runtime defaults. New-account setup
opens in another tab.
- Use revision-checked pool archival from the Connectors catalog and
account page. Keep task pins, cursors, recovery evidence, and underlying
connections. Reject ordinary connection updates or removals that bypass
pool revisions.
- Add pool selectors, composer models, override notes, quota status, run
details, activity records, and local run-log records. Keep
session-adoption copy minimal.
- Show **Used by** below the pool connections. List current company
agents with shared avatars and profile links. Include paused agents;
exclude terminated agents and agents using another pool.
- Add Core stories for the generic connector workflow and runtime
surfaces. Cloud stories reuse these production routes and tokens through
a preview-only alias.

## Verification

- Final head `73cb953bca30ed83e4505dd820edd9b5edffd28b`: full workspace
`pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass
locally.
- All 422 focused connector/settings/shared-contract/migration tests and
all 156 database-backed AI connection, hiring, reconnect, and
durable-routing cases pass (69 hiring cases rerun after the final
auth-precedence fix). The merged shared contract retains connection
instructions and pool metadata. The pool migration is generated at
sequence 0299 after the latest upstream migrations; this PR makes no
lockfile changes.
- All four full-app Playwright tests pass on the final head after a cold
restart and migration, against the installed private plugin and isolated
database, with no route or pool-API mocks. They cover hidden routing
controls after manual opt-in, native pool creation, ordering, membership
edits, rename, paused defaults, enabling/save/refresh persistence, stale
edits, cancellation/removal, preserved underlying accounts, unavailable
routers, and Used by avatars and profile links. Exact command:
`PAPERCLIP_CONNECTION_POOL_E2E=1
AI_CONNECTIONS_TEST_COMPANY_ID=a37b9625-5ecf-4e29-8081-04df3d6e7d6f
AI_CONNECTIONS_TEST_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3108 pnpm exec playwright test
--config tests/ai-connections-app/playwright.config.ts
connection-pools.spec.ts`.
- [Native setup, ordering, and management
screenshots](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/14967#issuecomment-6006976278)
address the review follow-up. [Earlier selector, quota, and run-detail
screenshots](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/14967#issuecomment-5971537316)
show the runtime surfaces. Core previews: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui
storybook`, then **Connectors / Pool host** or **AI Connections /
Connection pools**. Cloud owns its host-backed plugin stories; both
repositories’ Operator Setup Required story assertions pass.
- Live acceptance used OpenAI/Codex and Anthropic/Claude ACPX, resumed
both exact sessions after restart, preserved pinned accounts through
explicit reset and controlled quota deferral/recovery, and committed
only two allocations across fourteen runs. A later UI-created task test
again rotated OpenAI then Anthropic and resumed OpenAI through
follow-up/restart/quota recovery. That later Anthropic execution was
blocked by its saved OAuth token expiring (provider 401). No live usage
probes ran.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted earlier and did not
complete because of macOS embedded PostgreSQL bootstrap/shared-memory
failures and the 40,000-file Git fixture timeout. The focused database
suites above now pass; full-suite verification is provided by the split
CI lanes. The preceding CI run had one runtime readiness timeout; it
passes locally both alone and inside the larger runtime suite. That
larger local suite also encountered an embedded PostgreSQL setup failure
and two macOS temporary-path alias assertions; those two assertions pass
with canonical TMPDIR=/private/tmp. All final-head CI checks are
terminal green, including full general/serialized server suites, Runner
checks, browser E2E shards, canary verification, build, and typecheck.
Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- The migration adds routing tables and a credential epoch column.
Install the private plugin only with the compatible Core contract.
- Routing and each pool require opt-in. Production distribution and
fleet defaults remain unchanged.
- Unknown usage stays eligible. Known pinned exhaustion waits; revoked
access requires operator repair.
- Legacy adapters require compatible members. Runner model and effort
overrides remain limited by qualified backend support.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip b43073d11f feat(connections): sync and group accounts managed by aggregators (#15254)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections give agents governed access to external tools.
> - Aggregator gateways can expose accounts that users already connected
upstream.
> - The Apps catalog did not show those accounts or their current
provider status.
> - Separate cards and setup tasks also made account ownership unclear.
> - This pull request discovers upstream accounts and groups them under
one app card.
> - Users can find connected apps while each provider keeps control of
its accounts.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Connections across the database, shared contracts, server, and board UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Users cannot see which apps are connected through a saved aggregator
gateway. Native and upstream accounts need one app card. Discovery must
preserve company, user, gateway, and credential boundaries.

**Proposed solution**

Sync account metadata from Composio, Arcade, and supported Executor
gateways. Keep upstream account management in each provider. Use source
chips and search to browse the catalog. Preserve native setup and the
gateway's existing access policy.

**Alternatives considered**

Creating a local executable connection for each upstream account would
duplicate authorization state. Using an agent task for routine Composio
setup would add an unnecessary step. The board now calls the saved
gateway directly for that setup.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the shipped Connected Apps and MCP Tool Gateway features in
ROADMAP.md. The duplicate search found no open PR for managed account
discovery.

Related work: Refs #13755, Refs #13941, Refs #14725, Refs #13855. Open
PR #12906 covers adjacent toolkit routing work.

## What Changed

- Add provider-neutral discovery, sync, and refresh APIs. Preserve the
Composio API paths.
- Cache observations by company, saved gateway, viewing user, and
credential version. Retain stale observations after failed or incomplete
scans.
- Add optional Arcade account sync credentials in the vault. Discover
Executor accounts through its supported inventory interface.
- Group native and upstream accounts in one app card. Imported account
menus open their provider. Gateway menus own refresh and sync setup.
- Add Paperclip, Composio, Arcade, Installed, and All chips. Show 50
catalog entries per page. Keep connected accounts above discovery. Keep
explicit provider searches scoped.
- Simplify Composio app setup and refresh its connected app list on the
gateway Permissions page.
- Add a compact agent access card and task creation defaults for
connection setup. Preserve explicit blocks and approval policies.
- Add two replay-safe migrations, service and UI tests, Storybook
journeys, and acceptance stories.

## Verification

- Passed the repository typecheck, full build, token gates, and
migration ordering check.
- Passed the focused provider adapter, connection interaction, and
catalog tests after rebasing onto master.
- Passed all nine database sync and migration replay tests using a
disposable database on the test-drive PostgreSQL cluster. Removed that
database after the run.
- Verified Arcade cursor pagination against its official Go SDK and
passed all eight adapter tests, including short and incomplete pages.
- Passed all 45 interaction tests after making the exact requested tools
and their Allowed/Ask first permissions visible before granting access.
Verified the compact card in Storybook.
- Passed the complete UI suite on the final code: 683 files and 7,432
tests, including the corrected Composio destination assertions. Passed
130 focused tests for the UUID, management-link, and health-status
corrections.
- Passed 22 Composio setup/sync tests, 23 connection-intent service
tests, and the connection migration test in separate disposable
databases. Database startup alone was substituted; the suites exercised
their real SQL and services.
- Passed all 10 OpenAPI route checks and the full-stack
connection-intent browser test, including scoped consent, agent
continuation, and task completion.
- The local full runner encountered embedded PostgreSQL startup failures
on this loaded macOS host. The earlier in-flight run also held the
pre-fix Arcade transform; a fresh run of the final provider suite
passes. The final-head CI is queued during GitHub’s active Actions
incident: https://www.githubstatus.com/. The previous run also lost
several runners simultaneously; its real catalog assertion failures are
fixed and the fresh complete UI suite passes.
- Tested the real test-drive server in the embedded browser with a live
Composio gateway. Detected Airtable and Circleback. Verified refresh
progress, account rows, source chips, search scope, and 50-entry
pagination.
- Arcade and Executor coverage uses provider fixtures. Live credentials
were unavailable.
- Storybook builds successfully and includes grouped native/provider
accounts, stale and unavailable discovery, optional Arcade setup, and
mobile states. The acceptance document records the simulated and live
coverage separately.

- Greptile reviewed final commit
`217b024c27b5933e773ce9419c4e92b1032042c6` at 5/5. All six review
threads are resolved, security scans pass, and the PR has no merge
conflicts. The outstanding remote checks are `ci / Select trusted
runner` and `review`, queued by GitHub. They need to complete before
merge.

## Risks

- Provider response changes can break inventory discovery. Failed scans
retain observations and show stale status.
- Composio scans only the supported catalog and can take time. Large
inventories run in the background with progress and a bounded lease.
- Arcade requires a project API key and user ID when the gateway cannot
supply them. This key is used only for discovery.
- Executor discovery depends on the server's exposed inventory tools.
Unsupported servers report unavailable discovery.
- Cached account rows do not grant access or create executable
connections. Gateway policies still govern tool use. Account deletion
and per-app authorization remain upstream.
- The migrations add tables and one nullable column. Replay preserves
existing rows and company-scoped foreign keys.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The session does not expose a more
specific serving model ID or context limit. Used reasoning, repository
tools, code execution, and browser verification.

DottaandPaperclip a65ca09508 fix(runner): settle accepted results after shutdown failures (#15217)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the tasks they perform.
> - The native runner saves tool results and completion reports before
it releases a session.
> - Large project discovery responses can exceed the durable command
limit.
> - A shutdown failure can leave a saved answer waiting for workspace
repair.
> - Recovery reused the old assessment for a different status decision,
which violated a database constraint.
> - This pull request bounds discovery responses and lets recovery
commit the saved result after workspace repair.
> - The benefit is a task that reaches its correct final status without
another provider turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A native run can save its final answer, fail during shutdown, and leave
the task In Progress after workspace repair succeeds. Reconciliation
tries to reuse the failed-workspace assessment for a new decision. The
one-decision-per-assessment constraint rejects the write. Replaying the
old decision can also retain a fresh coordinator lease. Separately,
retained session cleanup only recognizes the old `adapter_failed` label.

The project-list tool returns full project records, including large
descriptions and workspace configuration. A large response exceeds the
runner's durable command limit. The settlement diagnostic previously
recorded only a failure flag.

**Expected behavior**

Project discovery stays within the command limit. Recovery finishes the
saved result after workspace repair, releases its lease, and preserves
the original error for inspection. It does not repeat provider work or
relax session ownership checks.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Return large project records from `list_projects` and observe an
oversized semantic result.
2. Persist an accepted native completion result, then record a shutdown
failure.
3. Finalize with a failed workspace, repeat that attempt, then record
successful workspace repair.
4. Reconcile the run. Before this fix, the issue stays In Progress.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `a386a599983519eb1d399f8b770bfccdb2a74762`.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server with Paperclip Runner.

Related transport work: #12208 drains queued events; #12241 resumes
interrupted semantic calls. This change addresses bounded project
discovery and accepted-result finalization.

## What Changed

- Read bounded project summary projections from the database and return
at most 50 authorized summaries with a continuation cursor and explicit
description truncation. Agent and run trust boundaries narrow the
database candidates; project-specific policies still receive full
authorization. Only visible projects determine continuations. The
default project-list API remains unchanged.
- Record bounded, content-free settlement failure causes for command
limits, storage errors, and rejected dispatch.
- Include workspace state in assessment identity. Preserve the initial
assessment for interrupted finalization, and commit replacement
assessment and decision references together.
- Release the coordinator lease when an existing decision is replayed,
without repeating its effects.
- Clear stale errors when recovery succeeds and retain them in
`recoveredExecutionFailure`.
- Accept both current and legacy close-failure labels in the existing
exact-state cleanup path.
- Add regression tests and update the tool contracts and recovery
documentation.

## Verification

- Red: the new project paging, settlement diagnostic, current cleanup
label, and repaired-workspace regressions failed on the original
implementation.
- Green: protocol/catalog/tool checks (117 tests), the full project-tool
and finalizer suites (47 tests), cleanup ownership cases (70 tests), and
cleanup sweep cases (4 tests) pass. Database-backed pagination covers
large descriptions/configuration, complete enumeration, uppercase
cursors, agent/run restrictions, project-policy scope contributions, and
identical results/cursors when hidden projects are added.
- The initial CI failures in interrupted Board waits, contended endpoint
proof, and semantic schema validation were reproduced and fixed; all
affected cases pass locally.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — started before the review corrections; it spanned
several source revisions and was stopped after reporting old-behavior
and timing failures. It is not claimed green. Fresh project and recovery
suites pass; the recovery suite also passes all 25 cases with the broad
runner’s isolated home/config. The Slack timing case passed in
isolation. Latest-head CI is the authoritative complete test matrix.
- Existing authorization suite — 66 tests passed.
- Latest-head CI on `8e5763d915aa6f375bdab6601996899ea01496fc` — 55
checks passed, 4 intentionally skipped, no pending or failing checks.
- Greptile — 5/5, zero unresolved threads on the same commit.
- `git diff --check` — passed.

## Risks

- `list_projects` now returns summaries. Callers must follow
`nextCursor` and use the authorized project API for full records.
Candidate narrowing is only an optimization: project policy and
responsible-user authorization remain authoritative.
- Assessment identity changes for workspace finalization. Existing
evidence remains intact; no migration is needed.
- Cleanup still requires matching identities, settled tool evidence, and
verified process ownership. Unknown tool outcomes remain blocked from
session reuse.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip d034ba7491 fix(interactions): derive question storage from canonical forms (#14946)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents request human input through durable issue interactions.
> - A question form has a canonical presentation and a compatibility
storage format.
> - The creation API required agents to write both formats.
> - Tool guidance told agents to split text and choice questions across
those formats.
> - This pull request accepts one complete canonical form and derives
storage fields on the server.
> - The benefit is a complete question card with stable answer and retry
behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: Refs #13630 and #14430. PR #13630 addresses the display of
historical partial forms. This change fixes creation and keeps the check
that rejects conflicting new forms.

**What happened?**

A question save supplied three compatibility questions and one canonical
text question. The API correctly rejected the incomplete canonical form.
The Runner's tool description encouraged this split. Sending only a
complete canonical form also failed because the API required
compatibility questions.

**Expected behavior**

An agent sends one complete `payload.questionSet` with every text and
choice question. Paperclip derives `payload.questions` for storage and
answer compatibility. Existing legacy requests remain valid. Explicitly
conflicting dual forms remain invalid.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Call `paperclip_request_human_input` with `interactionKind:
"questions"`.
2. Send `payload: { version: 1, questionSet: ... }` with a required text
question and a required choice question.
3. The old API rejects the missing compatibility questions. With this
change, it stores both questions and preserves the canonical form.
4. Retry with the same idempotency key. Confirm that only one
interaction exists.
5. Submit both answers. Confirm that the normal resolver and
continuation rules apply.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The branch is based on `cf8ad63c8`. The problem affects the native
Runner and the interaction creation API.

**Deployment mode**

Server deployment with the native Paperclip Runner. Integration tests
use the real interaction service and an embedded test database.

## What Changed

- Add one shared canonical-to-storage projection. Reuse it for native
harness question requests.
- Accept canonical-only question creation at the shared validator and
server boundary.
- Export the input type and update the plugin SDK and its RPC contract.
- Advertise a typed, complete question form in the live and scenario
tool schemas.
- Enforce canonical text and custom-answer constraints before ordinary
or native resolution. Preserve harmless display whitespace.
- Run regex matching in isolated workers with a deadline and resource
limits. Both answer paths await the result before persistence. Saved
native delivery uses the validated answer without taking another worker
slot.
- Update agent guidance and generated Runner contracts.
- Test mixed forms, option-ID collisions, retries, answers, legacy
requests, and conflicting forms.

## Verification

- Interaction service, HTTP route, native bridge, and Runner authority
suites: 221 tests passed after correcting an obsolete tool-description
assertion.
- Shared validator, plugin SDK, CLI, and UI compatibility suites: 67
tests passed.
- Runner core tool-contract suite: 20 tests passed. AJV validates live
and scenario schemas.
- Final review regressions: 172 shared, service, native bridge, and
authority tests passed. These cover text length, pattern, numeric
limits, whitespace, custom option IDs, and historical pending cards.
- Runner session suites: 67 tests passed. Published example tests: 4
tests passed.
- Server typecheck and the shared/server builds passed after the
compatibility fixes.
- Final delivery verification: 35 response-delivery tests passed. The
native delivery regression proves saved answers do not enter pattern
workers; server typecheck and build passed.
- Pattern security and answer-flow verification: 205 tests passed after
repairing the child fixture loader. These cover pathological matching,
event-loop responsiveness, worker concurrency, slot cleanup, HTTP
routes, native delivery, and the full helper in a child process.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on the bounded-worker revision.
- `pnpm build` passed on the bounded-worker revision.
- All 55 GitHub checks passed on `fe457af`; four optional jobs were
skipped. An unchanged Cursor adapter test timed out once in CI, passed
locally, and passed on one failed-job rerun.
- Reviewers can send the canonical-only mixed form above and verify that
the saved interaction contains both canonical and compatibility
questions.

## Risks

- The creation API accepts a new input shape. Stored rows and answer
contracts keep the existing shape.
- The shared projection must preserve synthetic free-text option IDs.
Collision and native round-trip tests cover this behavior.
- Historical partial rows remain readable. New conflicting dual forms,
including written-answer mismatches, remain rejected.
- Existing pending cards retain the written-answer paths offered by
their stored options. Canonical text constraints still apply.
- Ordinary answers now enforce declared canonical constraints before
persistence. Invalid answers leave the card pending.
- Regex validation has a one-second deadline and a four-worker capacity
limit. A complex pattern or capacity error leaves the card pending with
a validation error.
- No database migration or change to company authorization is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The session exposes the GPT-6 model
family; its exact runtime model identifier and context window size are
not exposed. Used reasoning, tool use, and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip 7d59de6113 feat(connections): probe provider usage limits on demand (#14936)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections store the AI accounts used by legacy and native runners.
> - Subscription accounts can reach session, weekly, model, or paid
usage limits.
> - Operators need to read these limits for a specific stored account
before making a routing decision.
> - This pull request adds an on-demand usage probe to the connection
service and account detail.
> - The result preserves provider limits, reset times, paid usage, and
unknown values for later consumers.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Shared contracts, the connection service and API, and the account detail
UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Managed AI accounts lack a common operation to read their current usage
limits. A local harness probe can read a different login from the
account selected for an agent.

**Proposed solution**

Add `aiConnectionService.probeUsage()` and a board-only connection usage
endpoint. Probe the selected credential grant on request. Support Codex,
Claude, and Grok subscriptions, plus OpenRouter API key limits.

**Alternatives considered**

Harness-specific automatic polling would couple the read to execution
and can read ambient credentials. This change uses the managed
connection credential and leaves scheduling and admission decisions to
later work.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing Personal & Shared AI Accounts capability. It
adds no routing or quota enforcement. Related: Refs #14459 for managed
OpenAI quota reads; Refs #14781 and Refs #13379 for downstream pacing
and budget work. This operation reads one requested account across all
three subscription providers.

## What Changed

- Add typed usage snapshots and a probe capability flag to managed AI
connections.
- Normalize Codex, Claude, Grok, and OpenRouter responses. Keep model
scopes, provider admission, reset periods, and paid allowances separate.
Preserve unknown values.
- Enforce company membership, credential audience, grant identity, and
connection lifecycle before reading the stored secret.
- Add a board-only `GET
/api/companies/:companyId/ai-connections/:connectionId/usage` endpoint
with `no-store` responses.
- Add manual **Check usage** and **Refresh** actions to account details.
Show compact usage bars, resets, admission and overage status; remove
repeated descriptions and account-default copy. Clear previous results
during a new request or error.
- Add Storybook previews using the production account components for all
four providers, initial checks, loading, and permission errors.
- Add provider, authorization, runner selection, API, and UI coverage.
Document provider sources and live qualification.

## Verification

- Initial provider, authorization, selection, API, and UI validation
passed (96 focused tests): `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/ai-connection-usage.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/ai-connections.test.ts
ui/src/components/ai-connections/AiConnectionUsagePanel.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes for the initial implementation. After
simplifying the UI, 9 usage-panel and date-helper tests, UI typecheck,
token gates, and Storybook build pass. The initial feature module
boundary check also passed.
- Real Codex, Claude, and Grok credentials were saved to encrypted
disposable connections. The actual usage HTTP route returned 200 with
`status: ok`. Legacy and native runner selection checks passed. The
tests started no model turn and exchanged no refresh token. The
disposable databases and vaults were removed.
- Live Claude responses added structured scoped limits. Live Grok
responses omitted included-plan usage. Tests now cover both shapes and
preserve the Grok omission as unknown.
- The full workspace build passes. A full local test run hit a heartbeat
feedback timeout. That case passes in isolation. The duplicate local run
was stopped after all remote checks passed. The Slack ordering and
OpenCode transport CI flakes also pass in isolation and on the CI rerun.


- Current head: `ff3d479029a1c4248190323e221b2803cfb0d79d`. All 54
active checks pass. Two Storybook checks are intentionally skipped by
the workflow. Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved review findings; the
branch is mergeable.

## Risks

- Subscription usage endpoints can change. Credentials can lack
usage-read permission. The probe returns explicit errors without fresh
limits in these cases.
- A successful probe can contain partial data. Missing utilization or
admission remains unknown. An enabled paid-usage switch does not prove a
funded balance.
- This change adds no migration. It does not change runner admission or
automatic provider selection. Provider requests use fixed endpoints,
disabled redirects, bounded response sizes, and a 15-second deadline.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, file editing, shell execution, and
HTTP tools. The session does not expose the exact runtime model variant
or context window size. Real provider credentials were used only for the
authorized live checks.

DottaandPaperclip 4ac374103f fix(connections): repair Asana MCP and add shared-app sign-in (#14756)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections let agents use provider tools through the permission
gateway.
> - Asana provides an official remote MCP server, but its v2 server
requires a registered MCP OAuth app.
> - Setup can discover retired v1 endpoints and send a callback that
differs from the displayed URL.
> - This pull request repairs custom app setup and adds sign-in through
Paperclip's shared app.
> - Users can choose their own app without enrolling with Paperclip
Cloud.
> - Agents can use Asana tools after the user connects their account and
sets action permissions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #14739 supplies the personal credential repair used by resumed
Asana setup. No duplicate Asana authentication PR was found.

**What happened?**

Asana setup failed even with a user-created app. Root discovery metadata
still points at v1. MCP v2 uses the Asana OAuth issuer and requires an
MCP app with a client secret. Local setup also displayed a localhost
callback while an Origin header could make authorization use a numeric
loopback callback.

**Expected behavior**

Sign in with Paperclip's app when its broker profile is available. Keep
custom MCP app setup available without Cloud enrollment. Use the correct
issuer, callback, client credentials, and resource throughout setup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open Asana in the connection catalog.
2. Supply an Asana MCP app's client ID and secret.
3. Start OAuth on a local instance opened with a numeric loopback
address, or resume a draft that cached v1 metadata.
4. Observe the wrong discovery endpoint or callback mismatch.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from b54b2dc35c. Rebased onto
master at `0829d94af` after the single-screen setup change in #14811.

**Deployment mode**

Local development from source. The managed path also supports enrolled
self-hosted instances.

## What Changed

- Add the `asana.mcp` managed profile and the default Sign in with Asana
method.
- Use Asana's reviewed v2 protected-resource metadata before cached
endpoints.
- Require a custom MCP app's client secret and retain saved credentials
during setup or reconnect. Repair only the known Asana v1
issuer/resource binding, retaining company and callback checks.
- Expose a boolean for the acting user's saved client secret. The form
offers secret reuse only when that user has an active grant with the
required reference.
- Let users select their own app from the enrollment and
shared-app-unavailable screens, or from Advanced on the single-screen
setup page.
- Canonicalize HTTP loopback callbacks even when the request includes an
Origin header.
- Extend signed broker claims and provider URL validation for Asana.
Require refresh credentials on managed authorization.
- Document setup, distribution, and shared-app rollout requirements.
- Resolve permission-profile name collisions when finishing another
account. The live staging test found this after renaming the first Asana
connection; OAuth succeeded but profile finalization failed.

## Verification

- Final live staging proof used app commit
`c6053157c4e42ac017727117b754ae77fa5c45fa` and the real Cloud broker at
`767b63835170f664542afd0df99a76615e204b62`. In the embedded browser,
default shared sign-in required no client credentials, returned through
the central Cloud callback to the tenant, and discovered 39 actions. Get
me succeeded through the gateway as the selected QA agent (2.1 seconds).
The custom-app connection also returned a real result on this final
build (0.9 seconds).
- Retried the shared draft that failed during the first staging test. It
completed after the profile-name fix, retained the selected agent, and
kept the existing custom connection intact. Two database regressions
reproduced the collision before the fix and passed afterward. The
updated transaction rollback test also passes.
- Shared reconnect returned to the same staging connection with 39
actions. Earlier staging checks verified the custom-app fallback when
the shared profile was unavailable, saved-secret reuse on reconnect, and
Off blocking the action test. Allowed was restored after that check.
- Local live-provider checks also repaired a saved Asana v1
issuer/resource binding without reentering the secret and verified that
numeric-loopback setup uses the displayed localhost callback. Expiring
the local managed access-token timestamp triggered a real Asana refresh
and a successful Get me call. These early local broker tests used
enrollment/authentication and storage fixtures; the final staging proof
used deployed Cloud identity and persistent storage.
- The new production app is registered and configured, but production
sign-in has not been deployed or verified. Live provider revocation was
not run because the existing staging test app is shared with other
connections.

- After rebasing onto the single-screen setup flow, full `pnpm -r
typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass. Focused
verification passes 365 service and 36 broker-client tests. Broader
checks pass all 833 shared-package tests and all 530 connector-page
tests. The shared suite uses `TMPDIR=/private/tmp` to avoid macOS
temporary-directory symlinks in its canonical-path tests. The UI tests
verify the shared-app default and switching to a custom app with its
required client secret.
- Embedded-browser smoke on the current rebased build verified the
shared sign-in default, Advanced → custom app (client ID and secret
required), and switching back to Paperclip. Both existing Asana
connections remained connected after restart. No new provider
authorization was performed during this smoke.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` was interrupted when the execution
session restarted. Before interruption, it reported one runtime-slot
restart test failure. That test passed on an isolated retry after
clearing two unused PostgreSQL shared-memory segments. The full local
suite did not complete; CI must pass on the current head before merge.
- All 52 CI and security checks pass on
`9318fd4e9b616cdc3de12f40cdb9bd32d865af4c` (CI run `36882064080`),
including all eight browser shards, nine serialized-server shards,
build, typecheck, and canary dry run. Two optional Storybook checks were
skipped. Greptile review 4 reports 5/5 on this exact commit, with all
review threads resolved. Its updated summary identifies the current SHA;
this comment-triggered review did not publish a separate GitHub check
run.
- Provider revocation is unit-tested in the companion broker. Live
provider revocation was not run because the existing test app is shared
with other connections.

## Risks

- The shared Paperclip Asana MCP app has been registered with its
production callback and Any workspace distribution. Its secret is
provisioned in the production secret store, and the runtime client ID
and secret reference are configured. The production profile is enabled
in the saved deployment configuration. The companion broker has merged
and passed staging deployment; production sign-in still requires a
production deployment and live verification. Custom setup remains
available.
- Asana MCP uses the provider's fixed `default` grant. Paperclip action
policies limit agent tool use; they do not narrow provider consent.
- The callback correction affects HTTP loopback OAuth flows. Public
HTTPS callbacks retain their existing behavior.
- Reviewed discovery URLs now override stale cached endpoints. Tests
cover the Asana v1-to-v2 repair.
- No schema migration. Connection removal retains the existing
local-only revocation behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code execution, browser testing, and
GitHub tooling. The exact model variant and context window are not

467125fafb feat(connections): one-screen connector setup with stated defaults (#14811)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use Connections (the Apps catalog) to act in services like
Notion, GitHub, Google Workspace and Railway
> - Each connector asked the user to answer setup questions before it
went to the provider. Most of the questions already had the correct
answer selected
> - ROADMAP.md lists "simpler setup" for Apps and Connections as ongoing
work. This change continues that work
> - This pull request removes the questions that Paperclip can answer
itself. It states the defaults in one line and moves the choices behind
"Change" and onto the Permissions tab
> - The benefit is that most connectors take one click in Paperclip and
then the provider's own consent screen

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is the description, from the enhancement
template.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The setup flow for tool connectors in the Apps catalog.

**Subsystem affected**
Apps and Connections: `ui/src/features/connections`,
`ui/src/pages/apps`, the `packages/shared` app definitions, and the
OAuth routes in `server/src/routes/tool-access.ts`.

**Current behavior**
Every connector opened with an Access step. The step asked who can use
the connection and which agents get it, and both answers were already
selected. 18 connectors also asked "How do you want to connect?" when
Paperclip could rank the methods. The Google apps and Postman also asked
"What should Paperclip be able to do?" before sign-in. The four gateway
connectors (Zapier, Arcade, Composio, Executor) used a separate two-step
wizard. Asana was pinned to a customer-owned OAuth app, so the user had
to register an app in Asana's developer console. The "Set all" control
on the Permissions tab changed only one action. After the user approved
access, Railway's consent page showed "you can close this window" and
did not return to Paperclip.

**Proposed behavior**
One screen per connector, with one primary button. The screen states the
defaults in one sentence, for example "Connects for everyone in your
organization, available to all agents". A "Change" link opens one
Advanced panel. When the provider's metadata allows dynamic client
registration, Paperclip registers a client itself. Connecting lands on
the Permissions tab. On that tab, "Set all" changes every action in the
group.

**Reason and benefit**
The user makes fewer decisions before the connection exists. Most
choices are easier to make after the connection, on the Permissions tab,
where a change has an immediate effect.

**Breaking changes**
None. No schema or API change. Existing connections keep their settings.

## What Changed

- **No Access step.** `ConnectionSetupFlow` no longer has the Access
step. The flow shows the resolved default above the primary button and
on the completion screen. The access controls moved into one Advanced
panel. The panel opens automatically only when a setting in it is
required.
- **A default method for every app.** The flow always picks the ranked
default method. Alternate methods are in the Advanced panel. The Google
and Postman capability choice is not asked before sign-in. The
write-capable method is the default.
- **Gateway connectors.** `RemoteMcpProductionSetup` (Zapier, Arcade,
Composio, Executor) no longer has its own Access step. Its commit path
and the main commit path use one helper, `askFirstCatalogEntryIdsFor`,
for server-suggested defaults.
- **Dynamic registration from live metadata.**
`canRegisterOAuthClientDynamically` now allows registration when the
provider advertises a registration endpoint, even if the catalog entry
lists only customer-owned clients. The Asana and Linear definitions and
catalog text match live probes. Asana issues clients for loopback
callbacks only, so a hosted deployment still needs an Asana app.
- **Connection setup states.** New
`packages/shared/src/connection-setup-state.ts` sorts each method into
`instant`, `authorize`, `paste` or `register`. The gallery card verb
("Connect" or "Add key") comes from this resolver and the instance's
ownership availability.
- **Generic MCP.** The generic path no longer asks "Does it need a key?"
first. A credential challenge from the server shows the key field.
- **Permissions tab.** Each action row shows its risk level. Each group
has a "Set all" control. The control sends one change for the whole
group. Before, each row's save started from the same render, so the
saves overwrote each other. The Zapier/Arcade/Composio/Executor setup
screen had the same defect.
- **OAuth callback interstitial.** A cross-site browser navigation to
`/api/tools/oauth/callback` gets a small same-origin "Finishing your
connection…" page. That page repeats the request, and the repeat does
the code exchange. Railway's consent page replaces itself after about
two seconds, and the code exchange plus tool discovery takes longer than
that. The interstitial uses only a meta refresh, because the OAuth code
is single-use. Requests without `Sec-Fetch-Site: cross-site` take the
old path.
- **Linear registers through its MCP server.** Linear pins the console
endpoints at `linear.app`. Pinned endpoints now replace discovery only
when the method cannot register, or when the connection has an
operator-entered client. So a Linear connection now finds the
registration endpoint at `mcp.linear.app`.
- **Own-OAuth-app recovery stays on the one-click screen.** When the
method also accepts a customer-owned client, the client fields are in
the Advanced panel. The panel opens after a failed sign-in. "Try again"
resumes the draft with the operator's client.
- **E2E specs** follow the one-screen flow. The Access-step clicks are
removed, the specs open **Change** before they pick agents, and they
expect GitHub's **Add key** verb.
- **Default permissions do not change.** New connections still allow
every action. The user can set actions to Ask first or Off on the
Permissions tab.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/pages/apps src/features/connections
--no-file-parallelism`
- `cd packages/shared && npx vitest run src/app-definitions.test.ts
src/connection-setup-state.test.ts`
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/remote-mcp-connectors.test.ts`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- New tests:
- `PermissionsPanel.group.test.tsx` checks that "Set all" sends one
change for the whole group. It fails on the old code.
  - `action-permissions.test.ts` checks the group update.
  - `connection-setup-state.test.ts` checks the four setup states.
- A server test checks that a cross-site callback gets the interstitial
and does not use the OAuth state, and that the same-origin repeat
completes the connection.
- Manual check on a hosted staging deployment. GitHub, Google Drive,
Composio, Notion, PostHog and Railway each connected from one screen and
returned to the Permissions tab. On Railway, "Set all" changed all 65
write actions, and the change remained after a reload.
- Visual changes: snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated. See
the `doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` entry "Per-change snapshot
verification demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- **Fewer confirmation clicks.** Organization-wide access is the
default, and the user does not confirm it on a separate step. This was
already the preselected answer. The flow shows the default before the
user clicks and again after the connection.
- **Google write scope.** Google apps now request the write-capable
scope by default. A narrower scope needs a new sign-in.
- **Dynamic registration from live metadata.** A provider can advertise
registration and then reject a redirect URI. Asana rejects hosted
callbacks, for example. In that case registration fails, and the
customer-owned client path remains available for recovery.
- **Callback interstitial.** The OAuth callback adds one same-origin
step for cross-site browser navigations. Browsers without `Sec-Fetch-*`
headers use the old direct path.
- Chat and bot connectors (Discord, Telegram, Microsoft Teams, iMessage)
do not change.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (Anthropic), model ID `claude-opus-5-5`, used through
Claude Code with tool use (shell, file editing, browser automation) and
extended thinking. It wrote the code, the tests and this description. A
human product owner directed the work and tested it by hand.

DottaandPaperclip 018993140f feat: let agents name prompt-only tasks (#14761)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Users create tasks with a title and a description.
> - A required title adds work when the prompt already explains the
request.
> - An agent can name the task once it reads that request.
> - This pull request accepts prompt-only tasks and starts them with a
short prompt slice.
> - A scoped title tool lets the assigned agent replace that slice early
without changing execution state.
> - A live browser eval checks the real agent call, saved title, audit
entry, and preservation of user titles.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: task creation, shared contracts, database, server, runner
tools, and board UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Users must currently write a title before they can submit a detailed
task prompt. The agent has enough context to write a useful title
itself.

**Proposed solution**

Make the title optional when a description is present. Save the first
120 characters of the normalized prompt as a provisional title. Ask the
assigned agent to call `set_task_title` early. Use an atomic
provisional-title guard to preserve titles supplied or edited by users.
Keep explicit titles supported.

Related: #14543 and #14556 concern empty-title submission. This change
intentionally enables that submission when a prompt is present, instead
of requiring a title.

## What Changed

- Add the `titleNeedsGeneration` field with an idempotent migration.
Keep existing titles unchanged.
- Add `PUT /api/issues/:id/title` and the native and legacy
`set_task_title` tool. Enforce company access, active-run ownership,
shared, bounded retry receipts across native/HTTP calls, and
transactional audit logging. Refresh external-object links after commit,
with the same feature gate and plugin detectors as ordinary title edits.
- Add early naming guidance in Standard, Ask, and Plan task context.
Preserve the description, status, and assignment.
- Allow prompt-only root and child task creation, plus draft restoration
in the New Task dialog. Keep user titles supported.
- Add an opt-in Product E2E suite for prompt-only Standard and Ask
tasks, plus an explicit-title control. It checks actual provider calls
within the first five tools, persisted state, audit attribution, and the
reloaded UI.
- Preserve a closed vocabulary of API key maintenance phrases in
declared prose while rejecting opaque credential suffixes. Add one
bounded naming retry after wording is rejected, without treating the
rejected call as a saved title.
- Repair the native cleanup receipt check exposed during full
verification: accept matching input digests, retain legacy input checks,
and reject conflicting receipts.

## Verification

- Live Product E2E on `f43478473800e3a46b85c5ee79677efdb15108e7`: **3/3
passed** with native Codex `gpt-5.4-mini`, first attempts only,
automatic retries disabled. Standard and Ask each saved “Rotate expired
API key” on their first tool call, with matching persisted state and a
single same-run audit entry. The explicit-title control retained its
user title with zero title writes. All three verified the reloaded
browser UI.
- Campaign: `local-2026-09-30T21-30-11-021Z`. Earlier failed campaigns
are retained separately; they exposed credential-prose handling and
prompted the naming recovery fix. No failed result was regraded or
deleted.
- Reproduce with `pnpm test:e2e:runner -- --id
task-titles.runner-codex-mini.local.prompt-title-standard --id
task-titles.runner-codex-mini.local.prompt-title-ask --id
task-titles.runner-codex-mini.local.preserve-explicit-title
--max-automatic-retries 0` and an authorized provider key.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed on the latest commit.
The runner build used the configured external eval source tree.
- Product E2E unit suite: **61 files, 818 tests passed**; E2E typecheck
and UI token gates passed.
- Title API/native regressions cover prompt-only and explicit child
creation, user edits, ownership/company isolation, external reference
refresh, cross-surface retry replay, and the 64-key limit without
receipt eviction. All passed. Prompt-context coverage: **44 tests
passed**.
- Rust credential regressions: **35 tests passed**, including benign
maintenance qualifiers and opaque credential rejection in every declared
prose field. Catalog/report reconciliation: **28 tests passed**. Native
recovery: **560 tests passed**.
- Broad local `pnpm test:run`: **14,555 tests passed** in the general
server group; two suites failed to initialize embedded PostgreSQL and
the existing 40,000-file Git streaming stress test exceeded its
300-second macOS timeout. All three suites then passed in isolation (**5
tests passed**) without code or timeout changes. The original full local
command exited nonzero and is not being represented as a clean full run.
- Latest-head GitHub checks are green: **53 passed, 4 skipped, zero
failed or pending**, including all test shards and the canary packaging
dry run. Greptile reviewed the same commit at **5/5**, with zero
unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- The additive database field must reach the server and UI together. The
migration uses `IF NOT EXISTS` and defaults existing tasks to a final
title.
- Title generation depends on the assigned agent running. Tasks without
a run keep their provisional title.
- Live qualification covers the native Codex path in Standard and Ask
modes. API/legacy and Plan behavior have deterministic coverage.
- The credential-prose exception validates the entire suffix against a
closed maintenance vocabulary. Unknown suffixes, assignments, quoted
values, credential prefixes, and diagnostics retain strict checks.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact deployment ID and context window are not exposed in
this session. The live eval uses the native Codex `gpt-5.4-mini`
profile.

DottaandPaperclip ad55d0a281 fix(connections): repair personal credentials and request write access (#14739)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use Apps through a gateway that checks identity, company
access, and action policies.
> - Personal pasted credentials can point to company secrets. Setup can
show success while the gateway rejects every call.
> - Several OAuth methods also omit the scopes needed for their
supported write actions.
> - This pull request gives setup, health checks, and invocation the
same credential rules. Owners repair existing connections by
reconnecting.
> - New connections request reviewed permissions for their supported
actions. Read-only choices remain available under Advanced.
> - Agents can use the connections people give them, while existing
consent, identity boundaries, and action restrictions remain enforced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14009 and #14008. This addresses the personal-credential defect.
The separate GitHub organization-identity selection defect is outside
this change.

Related work: #13942 fixed part of new personal-key setup. #14200
independently fixes legacy personal reconnect and protects managed-agent
profile credentials during removal. This PR covers that ownership
invariant across key and secret-URL setup, reconnect, health, discovery,
and invocation, and keeps owner reconnect as the repair path. #14059
tracks requested versus provider-asserted OAuth scopes; it remains
separate work. I searched open PRs and issues for Zapier, Airtable
scopes, connector writes, and personal credential failures.

**What happened?**

A Zapier secret URL saved through personal setup can become a company
secret referenced by a user grant. Health checks bypass the gateway's
ownership check, so the connection appears healthy but calls fail with
`grant_credential_invalid`. Custom-header paths can also receive a
duplicate `credentials.` prefix. Omitted OAuth scopes make write access
depend on provider defaults.

**Expected behavior**

Personal invocation credentials belong to the selected user. Setup,
health, and actual calls enforce the same rule. New connections request
documented permissions for supported read and write actions. Existing
tokens gain no permissions without provider consent.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Connect Zapier or a generic secret URL with the personal identity.
2. Allow an agent to use the connection and complete setup.
3. Invoke a tool through a run-scoped gateway. The legacy layout fails
ownership validation despite successful setup.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The implementation started from
`44736c9c7c67b7b646ead9d51721db10f5b83835` and was rebased onto master
at `94e8dec56`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Regression tests use isolated PostgreSQL fixtures and
controlled MCP transports.

## What Changed

- Share credential writing, ownership validation, and canonical paths
across initial setup, resume, reconnect, rotation, health, discovery,
and gateway calls. Keep OAuth client-registration secrets separate from
invocation credentials.
- Existing personal connections with company-scoped credentials require
owner reconnect with a fresh key or secret URL. Reconnect creates a
correctly owned value and updates the existing grant and declarations.
There is no automatic ownership backfill or new startup hook.
- Preserve PostgreSQL timestamp precision when reconnect checks whether
a grant changed. Previously, converting the timestamp to a JavaScript
Date could reject reconnect with a false concurrent-change error.
- Protect credentials used by other grants, connections, bindings,
managed-agent profiles, routine triggers, or secret proposals from
connection removal.
- Review all 117 tool methods, including 84 OAuth methods. Record
explicit scopes or documented provider-default exceptions with official
evidence. Add Airtable's seven scopes, Hugging Face repository/job
scopes, and other documented MCP permissions.
- Prefer available write-capable methods. Put explicit read-only choices
under Advanced. Explain pasted-key permissions and offer reconnect for
missing OAuth consent. Preserve existing grants, policies, Google
availability gates, and curated scope allowlists.
- Reconnect generic secret URLs and custom headers using their stored
credential fields. Refresh the catalog after setup, correct reconnect
feedback and error guidance, and let Cancel exit invalid setup while
Save & exit retains draft-saving behavior.
- Apply ownership checks to the new GitHub repository/skill connection
picker. Align the permission audit with the Google scope reductions
merged on master.
- Add run-scoped gateway, ownership, owner-reconnect, OAuth URL,
insufficient-scope, UI, and catalog-wide regression coverage. Update the
connector playbook and permission audit.

## Verification

Latest commit `97bc0b86e0eae0ec892e4ac44beff1a66164b20e` passes all
CI/status gates (55 completed check runs, no failures or pending checks)
and has a completed Greptile review at **5/5 with no outstanding
findings**. GitHub reports the PR as mergeable/CLEAN.

- **Embedded browser:** used the actual server and built UI from this
worktree, a fresh isolated database, and local HTTP MCP fixtures.
Completed personal bearer-key, secret-URL, and custom-header setup;
reproduced the legacy ownership failure; reconnected through the owner’s
form; and completed writes afterward. Read-back was verified for
bearer-key and secret-URL connections. Public organization-wide setup
appeared immediately in Browse without reload. Zapier URL
validation/Cancel and Google’s enrollment gate were also exercised.
- **Persistence and invocation:** verified user ownership, canonical
`credentials.authorization` / `remote.url` / `headers.X-Api-Key`
declarations, and unchanged connection/grant identity. The old company
secrets retain their ownership. Separate HTTP calls through an actual
run-scoped gateway session completed a write and read-back.
- **Backend coverage:** the final gateway suite passes all 82 cases,
including catalog Zapier and generic inline reconnect. It checks
company/user isolation, canonical declarations, same-endpoint URL
validation, fresh credentials, retained restrictions, and real gateway
read/write execution using fixture transport. A timestamp with
PostgreSQL microseconds covers the former false reconnect conflict.
- **Local checks:** 368 catalog, gateway, repository, and UI tests
passed before the final extra Zapier case; 49 GitHub skill access tests
also passed. All three Apps browser regressions pass, including
reconnect through the actual form and catalog visibility without reload.
Full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, server typecheck after the final
patch, and token gates passed. Full tool-access service runs hit varying
15-second Google fixture timeouts; both affected cases and the updated
reconnect assertion pass in isolation (3 tests). The complete test
matrix passes in CI on this head.
- **Verification limits:** no live provider account was available for
Zapier/Airtable/OAuth consent or account-bound write proof. Public
metadata and local fixtures do not establish provider consent. The
original development database clone failed on a pre-existing missing
`tool_connections_transport_check` constraint; browser acceptance used a
fresh isolated database created by the normal CLI onboarding flow.

## Risks

- Existing broken personal connections stay unusable until their owner
reconnects. Health, discovery, and invocation return an actionable
ownership error; startup does not rewrite credential ownership.
- Scope changes affect new authorization requests. Providers may still
require resource selection, account roles, paid plans, or app
verification. Existing consent and action restrictions remain unchanged.
- Shared credentials are retained rather than reassigned or revoked.
Provider-default exceptions and unavailable live checks are documented
in `doc/connections/CONNECTOR-PERMISSION-AUDIT.md`.
- No new endpoint, database table, lockfile change, or CI workflow
change is included.

execution, web research, and browser tools. The exact deployment model
ID and context window were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip d432dc7fa3 Add GitHub-synced skill sources (#14713)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Company skills supply instructions and files to those agents.
> - GitHub imports already exist, but users cannot manage repositories
as skill sources.
> - Repository refresh also needs caller-authorized access and complete
local packages.
> - This pull request adds Sources inside Skills and reuses GitHub
connections from Apps.
> - Installed snapshots let agents use skills without fetching GitHub
during a run.
> - Manual refresh preserves skill identity and leaves failed imports on
their last good version.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: skills UI, server, database, shared contracts, and
runtime materialization.

**Problem or motivation**

Users keep skills in GitHub repositories. They need a clear way to
select, import, and refresh those skills. Existing imports do not expose
repository management or consistently preserve supporting files.

**Proposed solution**

Add company-scoped skill sources. Browse repositories from all
accessible GitHub connections, or paste a public repository or branch
URL. Select whole skill packages, inspect included files and reference
warnings, and install complete, immutable snapshots. Refresh each source
manually.

**Alternatives considered**

Project repository settings hide the workflow from Skills. A second
GitHub connector would duplicate credentials and grants. Upstream
editing and PR creation are separate work.

**Roadmap alignment**

This implements the Skills Manager direction in ROADMAP.md. The
maintainer requested this scope and reviewed the component and full-app
journey stories before implementation.

Related reports: Refs #10285, Refs #10949, Refs #13464. Related work:
#14356, #13656, #9268.

## What Changed

- Add source and entry records, an idempotent migration, company-scoped
APIs, and legacy GitHub import adoption.
- Reuse current caller grants and credential refresh. Combine and
deduplicate repository inventories across accessible connections. Pasted
public URLs also prefer the active user’s authorized connections. Tokens
stay in the Git child environment, never argv or disk.
- Fetch a shallow Git snapshot at one immutable commit. Scan the full
local tree, including hidden and nested folders. Read Git objects
without checkout or archive transformations and enforce nested package
boundaries.
- Bound Git downloads to 128 MiB and three minutes. Cancel active
process groups and remove incomplete downloads. Preserve cancellation
and deadlines while progress drains; close stalled HTTP progress streams
after 30 seconds. Reuse caller-scoped temporary snapshots for
preview/import after reauthorization.
- Index repository package boundaries once and cap expanded work at
1,000 packages, 10,000 files, and 100 MiB, including repeated copies of
shared blobs. Bound path depth and the shared path index. Discovery
keeps audited manifests without retaining all package bodies.
- Resolve moving branches before fetching so unchanged discovery reuses
caller-scoped snapshots. Limit active scans, scan frequency, and new
downloads per caller and company; quotas apply before metadata reads and
across connections, and cached scans do not consume the download quota.
- Store complete versions with script content, binary bytes, and
executable modes. Preserve these through copies, runtime caches, and
runner packaging.
- Stage downloads before publication. Use source leases, revision
checks, and transactional activity records. Keep installed versions
after failures, upstream deletion, deselection, and disconnect.
- Add the approved import flow, Sources page, selection tree,
provenance, read-only Studio behavior, and saved return from GitHub
setup.
- Add package manifests, commit-pinned file previews, and separate
runtime requirements and reference warnings. Supporting files are
included together; nested skills remain independently selectable.
Preview requests reauthorize the caller and re-audit package content.
- Show installed skills as compact links beneath each source. Repository
titles open GitHub. Keep Refresh, Select skills, and Disconnect source
in a three-dot menu. Source rows omit the branch, imported count, and
refresh timestamp; action alignment and repository titles work at narrow
widths.
- Stream discovery metadata over an opt-in NDJSON response. Show
measured Git download progress and real package/file counts, animate
newly checked skills, support cancellation, and require a complete scan
before selection. Keep the existing JSON API.
- Retain component stories and add a separate full-app journey story
group. Include fixed progress states and interactive scan,
large-repository, interruption, and saving stories.
- Update Skills documentation and product contracts. Suppress private
GitHub skill references in telemetry. Privacy review requested for the
telemetry changes.

## Verification

- Local repository typecheck, full build, token gates, and Storybook
build passed during this work. Focused transport, authorization,
scanner, persistence, route, and UI tests pass. The final UI refinement
passes all eight focused UI tests, UI typecheck/build, and token gates.
The scanner resource and repeated-discovery fixes pass 132 focused
scanner, transport, authorization, source-service, route, and rate-limit
tests, plus server typecheck/build. Full-suite verification comes from
CI; the older full local Vitest run was stopped after unrelated chat
failures and a font-test failure, all of which passed in fresh focused
runs. At commit `1098d5996`, all 54 active checks pass; two optional
Storybook jobs are skipped. CI covers repository typecheck, build, the
full test suites, browser shards, and the canary dry run. Greptile is
5/5 with no open findings; the security scan also passes.
- Adversarial scanner tests verify repeated-blob byte accounting with
and without declared sizes, package/file/path caps, one-time repository
indexing, metadata-only discovery audits, and nested package boundaries.
Additional tests cover branch movement, snapshot reuse, caller/company
quotas, isolation across connections, active-lease cleanup, quota
recovery, and rejection before any metadata API call.
- Real Git tests verify hidden paths, exact binary bytes, executable
modes, export-ignore preservation, symlink/submodule reporting, pinned
commits, caller-scoped cache reuse, cancellation, cleanup, and
credential isolation. Regression tests hold both download slots with
permanently blocked progress callbacks, verify timeout/cancellation
cleanup and retry, and exercise HTTP backpressure cancellation. Access
tests cover automatic public-URL connection selection and revoked
grants. Database tests verify company and grant audiences.
- Live isolated browser test: the public `anthropics/skills` scan now
completes and discovers all 20 skills without connecting an account.
Imported canvas-design with all 83 files, opened it from Sources, and
verified the installed binary-font preview/download control. Package
previews also expose the complete file inventory before import.
Cancelled an active Git download and retried successfully to all 20
discovered skills; the browser displayed measured download progress. The
current audits reject four other packages; eligible selections remain
importable.
- Browser checks verify the simplified source rows at desktop and narrow
widths, keyboard navigation into the actions menu, Refresh from the
menu, selection, and fixture disconnect with installed skills retained.
Storybook includes a menu-open checkpoint and a 320px layout.
- Storybook includes receiving/preparing download checkpoints and a
timed full-app import journey, plus cancellation, retry,
large-repository, and saving states. Streaming tests cover split UTF-8
frames, incomplete streams, late responses, cross-company requests, HTTP
errors, and JSON compatibility.
- Earlier live acceptance on this PR imported `stitch-skill` with
`DESIGN.md`, assigned it to an agent, disconnected its source, and ran a
successful Studio test that read both installed files. An editable copy
changed independently. Both Skills variants, mobile selection, and
return from GitHub setup were exercised.
- Private access, revoked credentials, OAuth success return,
binary/script preservation, concurrent refresh, transaction rollback,
version pins, and legacy adoption have automated coverage. A real
private-repository OAuth grant was not created during this test.

## Risks

- The migration groups recognizable legacy imports without provider
calls. Their first successful refresh completes the local package
snapshot.
- Reference checks are advisory. They cover Markdown links and explicit
relative resource paths, not arbitrary runtime dependency graphs.
Preview text is capped at 64 KiB; imported bytes remain complete.
- Git must be installed on the server. Shallow fetches still download
the branch snapshot, including files outside selected packages.
Downloads have size/time/concurrency limits. Temporary caches are
bounded and caller-scoped. GitHub API quota still applies to repository
metadata and the connection picker; content no longer uses per-file API
requests. Failed scans retain installed content.
- Sources depend on the current caller's GitHub access. A saved
connection does not grant access to another person's token.
- GitHub script support and immediate manual refresh are explicit
maintainer-approved requirements. The operator trusts the selected
repository and accepts upstream script and executable-mode changes on
refresh. Static audits are not a sandbox or a guarantee of safe code;
agents may later invoke installed helpers under their runtime
permissions. Import and refresh do not execute scripts, hooks, package
installation, or builds. Raw URL and skills.sh imports keep their prior
script restrictions.
- Source originals remain read-only. Refresh affects subsequent unpinned
runs; explicit pins and active runs retain their versions.
- The telemetry change removes source-managed GitHub identifiers from
skill-reference events. It introduces no event or field. Please review
the privacy boundary.

DottaandPaperclip 3c561642b4 fix(chat): resolve approvals and preserve unanswered questions (#14613)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents ask for decisions and optional details through cards in chat.
> - A clear approval in a message can leave the matching card pending.
> - An unanswered question can also block an unrelated later reply.
> - Decisions need a saved source message, while optional questions need
to remain answerable in history.
> - This pull request records conversational decisions and lets users
move on from questions and answer them later.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native Claude and Codex could act on approval in chat while the original
approval card stayed pending. Pending question forms stayed above the
composer, were absent from history, and could suppress later chat
replies. A late native question answer could wait for a finished run to
reconnect.

**Expected behavior**

The active agent records a clear approval or refusal against the exact
card and user message. Ambiguous replies do not grant consent. Users can
send another message without answering a question. The question remains
pending in history and can be reopened and answered later. The saved
answer reaches the agent.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask an agent to propose work with a confirmation card, then approve
it in chat.
2. Check that the original card records that approval before work
starts.
3. Ask an interactive question, send an unrelated message, and reload.
4. Open the unanswered question from history and submit an answer.

Related work: #14408 added completion delivery. #14607 tests completion
reporting turns. Neither records conversational answers on approval
cards.

## What Changed

- Add a confirmation endpoint backed by a user comment, with schema
validation, OpenAPI discovery, and native Plan-mode access. Ask mode
remains read-only.
- Check company, active run, actor, current session, message provenance,
revision, and resolver policy. Save the decision and audit in one
transaction. Retries do not repeat effects. Emit resolution telemetry
after commit.
- Give fresh and resumed chat turns the actual pending confirmation
identities. Teach agents to save clear conversational decisions before
acting and to clarify ambiguity.
- Keep unanswered Agent Chat questions as compact history entries. A
newer user message closes the old form. Question cards never contribute
to composer pending counts or navigation, including after dismissing a
fresh form. The history card is the sole reminder; clicking it restores
that exact form and draft.
- Preserve Agent Chat questions when later messages or questions arrive.
Historical ordinary inputs no longer gate later chat replies.
Current-run requests, task execution, and governed approvals keep their
gates. Remove the special acknowledgement-publication proof helpers that
this rule replaces.
- Route answers to finished native runs through durable fresh-wake
delivery, with existing idempotency and source-question context. Settle
late replies against contiguous completed conversation turns and freeze
their history replay; failed, unhandled, and newly arriving messages
remain actionable.
- Add real-component Storybook scenarios, database and UI regressions,
and a three-turn native Claude/Codex E2E case. Capture distinct,
UI-ready screenshots and report the individual assertions.

## Verification

- Focused decision/publication/UI regressions after merging master: 288
passed; subsequent UI draft, failed-send, and conversation checks: 199
passed.
- Native question and durable delivery regressions: 106 passed,
including all four terminal run states and exactly-once late delivery.
Seven targeted regressions fail against the original implementation and
pass with the fix.
- Latest conversation/decision/native-delivery regressions after the
master merge: 121 passed. Covers completed progress, missing or failed
intervening turns, new messages during a late reply, stale sessions, and
frozen retry/replay boundaries. Four new assertions fail before the
ordering fix.
- E2E support suite after the master merge: 792 passed. Negative
controls reject expired cards, wrong questions/answers, stale or missing
replies, unrelated clarification forms, and unexpected tasks.
- The embedded-browser walkthrough caught one additional defect:
dismissing a fresh question still showed a composer badge. Both Cancel
and close-button regressions failed before the fix. The fix at
`65f2ade12` passes 170 chat-thread tests and 792 E2E support tests.
After merging master, 232 chat-thread/confirmation tests, server/UI
typechecks, and token gates pass. The preview and two-provider live E2E
pass at `e5512a206`; Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved threads at
that commit. All 55 checks are now successful at `e5512a206` (four
conditional checks skipped), including the aggregate verification gate
and clean-install canary test. The first attempt was interrupted by
simultaneous CI worker shutdowns; one failed-job rerun passed without
code changes.
- [Published
Storybook](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/storybook/branches/codex~2Fchat-approval-resolution/?path=/story/chat-comments-agent-chat-unanswered-questions--moved-on):
nine real-component scenarios. Manually exercised move on, reopen,
preserve draft, answer later, answer one of multiple questions, and a
custom mobile answer in the embedded browser. Retested fresh Cancel and
close-button dismissal in the updated build, then reopened and submitted
the preserved Green selection and inspected its answered receipt. Static
preview has no live model/backend; its callbacks are fixture responses.
- [First live
campaign](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36714504406-1/)
reproduced the late-answer completion-state defect on both providers
despite correct saved answers and acknowledgements. It also exposed a
valid imperative clarification rejected by the old oracle. Both issues
are fixed with regression controls; this failing run is retained as
evidence.
- [Four-cell
qualification](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36717804064-1/)
passed 4/4 at `2bf8a1009`: unanswered-question return and ambiguous
confirmation, each on native Claude and Codex. Inspected saved state,
source-message decisions, visible cards, and agent replies. Both
late-answer chats settled to waiting; no unrequested tasks were created.
[Final branch
rerun](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36719666238-1/)
passed 2/2 at `142630720`: the same unanswered-question journey after
merging master, plus an additional screenshot and browser assertion for
the actual late-answer acknowledgement.
- [Composer-reminder
E2E](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36727006818-1/)
passed 2/2 at `5b62c52d9`: native Claude and Codex, three turns each,
with explicit no-badge assertions before and after reload. Inspected
saved pending/answered state, both screenshots with a clear composer,
and actual Blue acknowledgements; all five behavioral matchers passed
per provider and neither created tasks. Cost coverage is partial; this
is bounded workflow qualification.
- [Fresh-dismissal
E2E](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36742773318-1/)
passed 2/2 at `e5512a206`: native Claude and Codex, including fresh
Cancel, clear composer, reopen, unrelated message, reload, late Blue
answer, and actual agent acknowledgement. All five behavioral matchers
pass per provider. Inspected the fresh-dismissal screenshots and saved
pending/answered identity; neither created tasks. Cost coverage is
partial (4/6 runs).
- Prior evidence remains available in [the earlier
campaign](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-36642252725-1/).
Its early loading screenshot and overwritten final capture prompted the
UI-ready, distinct screenshot fixes.

## Risks

- The model interprets intent. The server verifies permission and
provenance; it does not infer consent from text. Ambiguous and unrelated
replies are not approvals.
- Historical questions can accumulate. They remain visible, pending, and
answerable; no automatic answer or expiry is invented.
- The change to completion gates is scoped to Agent Chat and ordinary
historical inputs. Current-turn and governed approvals retain their
existing controls.
- Live qualification is limited to the selected stories. Broader native
onboarding finalization remains separate work.
- No database migration. Telemetry adds no fields or values; the
contract and README document the commit boundary. Privacy review was
requested on the PR.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser-test orchestration. The exact model ID and
context-window size are not exposed to this session.

DottaandPaperclip a36cbffa9e fix(connections): broaden natural-language and aggregator search (#14725)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and the services they need for work.
> - Agents use connection search to discover a setup path before they
request access.
> - Tool-only filtering hid channel and AI methods from this search.
> - Requiring every query word to match rejected normal task
descriptions.
> - A small aggregator index also omitted supported apps such as
Circleback.
> - This pull request broadens retrieval and returns purpose-specific
setup guidance.
> - Agents can choose a relevant result while existing access and
provider-choice checks still apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A search such as “AgentMail create an email address and manage an agent
mailbox” returned no usable result. “Help me find tools for circle back”
also missed Composio's supported Circleback toolkit. Queries longer than
200 characters failed validation.

**Expected behavior**

Return useful native and verified aggregator matches from
natural-language queries. Include channel/email methods when Chat
connectors is enabled. Identify each method's purpose and the correct
setup path.

**Steps to reproduce**

Use the queries above with `connections_search` from an active task.
Enable Chat connectors for the AgentMail case. The regression suite
reproduces these misses before the change.

Related routing work: #13941. This change does not change the runner
failure path or add channel setup to tool-only connection cards.

## What Changed

- Rank name and capability matches. Accept extra words, split names,
small spelling errors, and queries up to 4,000 characters.
- Include tool, channel/email, and AI methods. Return company-prefix
setup links for channel and AI flows.
- Add a dated snapshot of 1,583 official Composio toolkit names and a
refresh script. Merge duplicate MCP variants for search and link each
support claim to official evidence.
- Find authorized indexed aggregator namespaces within longer queries.
Return multiple app matches when the agent needs to choose.
- Prefer exact app names over fuzzy matches for other apps; retain
existing AI readiness.
- Preserve native preference, company and identity boundaries,
administrative denials, and saved provider consent.
- Add relevance and database regressions, extend native tool-authority
coverage, and document search behavior.

## Verification

- Red: 15 new assertions failed against the previous implementation; the
existing baseline passed. Added red-green regressions for Motion versus
fuzzy Notion and existing AI access during review. A further regression
covers mixed ready/unconfigured AI results and their per-result setup
guidance.
- Green: all 103 tests in the eight focused shared, database,
runtime-tool, fixture, and route suites pass on the latest commit.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- Latest-commit CI passed: 54 successful checks and two skipped checks,
including the full test matrix, browser E2E, typecheck, build, and
canary dry run.
- The long local `pnpm test:run` attempt began before the review fixes
and retained transformed pre-fix search code; it also hit an unrelated
timing failure. Fresh serial reruns of the affected search suites and
three timeout cases passed all 124 tests. Parallel local route shards
hit two additional database setup timeouts; both suites passed all 17
tests on a fresh serial rerun. The complete corresponding CI suites also
passed. Duplicate broad local runs were stopped after CI completed. The
local UI suite independently passed all 7,007 tests.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `cc6a0180d`; all review findings resolved.
- Browser verification passed in a disposable local instance through
real process-agent search requests: AgentMail opened its setup flow with
the requester selected; the saved Circleback choice produced the
Composio setup card; a paragraph-length Notion query produced its setup
card. No provider credentials or external accounts were created.
- The browser test caught an invalid UUID-based setup URL. The fix uses
the company prefix and has a regression assertion.
- A 3,971-character catalog query found Circleback first in a local 10
ms spot check after sharing query preparation across the catalog scan.
This is a single measurement, not a performance guarantee.

## Risks

- Broader retrieval can return extra candidates. Named services rank
first; agents must select the relevant method.
- The public support snapshot can age. It proves catalog support, not
account authorization or the availability of every requested action.
- Channel and AI methods use existing setup links. The tool connection
card still accepts tool methods only.
- No schema, migration, credential, or runner lifecycle changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6). The session does not expose a more specific model
identifier or context-window size. Used reasoning, repository search,
code execution, tests, and browser tools.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

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

**Proposed solution**

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

**Alternatives considered**

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

**Roadmap alignment**

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

## What Changed

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

Devin Foley f38b5693f6 fix: always enable keyboard shortcuts (#14643)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI has keyboard shortcuts for the inbox, task lists, cases,
and task detail, plus global shortcuts such as `c`, `/`, `?`, `[`, and
`]`
> - Shortcut enablement was an instance-wide General setting until
#14141 moved it to a per-user preference that defaults to off
> - The move did not carry the old instance value over, so every
existing user lost shortcuts on upgrade and had to find a new toggle
under Profile settings
> - A toggle that only turns off a standard, input-safe feature costs a
setting, a database column, two API routes, and a React context for
little benefit
> - This pull request removes both the instance setting and the personal
preference and enables keyboard shortcuts for every signed-in user
> - The benefit is one less thing to configure, no silent loss of
shortcuts on upgrade, and less code to maintain

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14141 (the change that introduced the personal preference).

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Keyboard shortcuts in the web UI stay off unless each user turns them on
in Profile settings.

**Subsystem affected**

Web UI shortcuts, Profile settings, instance general settings, the
`/api/auth/preferences` routes, and the `user` table.

**Current behavior**

Shortcuts default to off per user. #14141 moved the toggle from Instance
settings → General to Profile settings and did not carry the old
instance value over. Users who had shortcuts on lost them after the
upgrade and had to find the new toggle.

**Proposed behavior**

Keyboard shortcuts are always enabled for every signed-in user. There is
no instance setting and no personal preference. Shortcuts already ignore
key presses inside text inputs and modal dialogs, so an opt-out is not
needed.

**Reason and benefit**

Fewer settings, no silent loss of shortcuts on upgrade, and removal of a
database column, two API routes, a query hook, and a React context that
existed only to gate this feature.

**Breaking changes**

`GET` and `PATCH /api/auth/preferences` are removed. `PATCH
/api/instance/settings/general` no longer accepts `keyboardShortcuts`;
that schema is strict, so the key now returns 400.
`instance.general.keyboardShortcuts` is no longer a valid
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` key; the parser ignores unknown keys with a
warning.

## What Changed

- Removed the Keyboard shortcuts section from Profile settings, the
`useUserPreferences` hook, `queryKeys.auth.preferences`, and
`authApi.getPreferences` / `authApi.updatePreferences`.
- Removed `GeneralSettingsContext`. The inbox, legacy inbox, task list,
legacy task list, cases, and task detail pages no longer gate their key
handlers.
- Removed the `enabled` option from `useKeyboardShortcuts`. The app
shell always registers the global shortcuts.
- Removed `GET` and `PATCH /api/auth/preferences`, their OpenAPI
entries, and the `currentUserPreferencesSchema` /
`updateCurrentUserPreferencesSchema` validators.
- Removed `keyboardShortcuts` from `InstanceGeneralSettings`, the
general settings zod schema, the settings service defaults, and
`HIDEABLE_GENERAL_SECTIONS`.
- Added migration `0289_drop_user_keyboard_shortcuts`, which drops
`user.keyboard_shortcuts`.
- Updated `AGENTS.md`, `doc/SPEC.md`, `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, and
`docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`.
- Parsed the stored general settings row with
`instanceGeneralSettingsSchema.strip()` in the feedback vote path, so a
retired key left in the row cannot reset the sharing preference to
`prompt` and overwrite the stored choice.
- Kept every bare global shortcut (`c`, `?`, `[`, `]`, `/`) out of open
modal dialogs in `useKeyboardShortcuts`; only `/` had that guard before.
- Updated the affected tests and added a Profile settings test that
asserts the toggle is gone, a hook test for the modal dialog guard, and
a feedback service regression test for the retired-key case.

## Verification

- Typecheck passes for `@paperclipai/shared`, `@paperclipai/db`
(including the migration numbering and safety checks),
`@paperclipai/server`, and `ui`.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/auth-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/sentry.test.ts` → 119 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/Layout.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.test.tsx ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Cases.test.tsx
ui/src/hooks/useKeyboardShortcuts.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Agents.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceGeneralSettings.test.tsx` → 286 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts`
→ 16 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/hooks/useKeyboardShortcuts.test.tsx` → 7
passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/feedback-service.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres) → the new retired-key test passes with the fix and
fails without it.
- Manual: sign in with no settings changed, open the inbox, press `j`
and `k` to move the selection, press `?` to open the cheatsheet. Open
Settings → Profile and confirm there is no Keyboard shortcuts section.

## Risks

- The migration drops a column. It uses `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS`, and the
column has no readers after this change. If you roll back to a build
from before this PR after the migration has run, re-add the column
first: `ALTER TABLE "user" ADD COLUMN "keyboard_shortcuts" boolean
DEFAULT false NOT NULL;`. The older build's ORM selects that column when
it loads users.
- Any external client that still sends `keyboardShortcuts` to `PATCH
/api/instance/settings/general` receives a 400. No in-repo client does.
- Stored `instance_settings.general.keyboardShortcuts` values are
stripped on read and ignored.
- Users who never turned the toggle on now get shortcuts. The handlers
skip text inputs, contenteditable regions, and modal dialogs, so typing
is unaffected.

DottaandPaperclip 7636966452 fix(inbox): keep other users’ failed runs out of Mine (#14572)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Mine inbox shows work that needs the current user.
> - Failed-run rows used the latest run for every agent in the company.
> - A failure from another user therefore appeared in Mine and its
badge.
> - Run list responses also omitted the responsible user needed to
filter these rows.
> - This pull request uses run ownership for personal failure routing.
> - Users see their own failures and can still inspect company failures
in All.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An agent run started for one user failed. Its row and failure badge
appeared in another user's Mine inbox.

**Expected behavior**

Mine and its badge include failed runs for the current responsible user.
Other users' failures remain available in All and run details.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a company with two human users.
2. Create a failed or timed-out run attributed to the first user.
3. Open Mine as the second user. Before this fix, the failed run appears
there and increases the badge.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced in regression tests on master at `24beb0057`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated deployment with multiple users. Tests also cover the local
single-user board.

Related prior work: #933 addressed inbox dismissal and badge
consistency. No duplicate ownership fix was found.

## What Changed

- Return `responsibleUserId` in normal and summary run lists.
- Share one ownership rule across both inbox versions and client/server
badges.
- Select the latest run per agent before applying the ownership filter.
This prevents old failures from resurfacing on shared agents.
- Keep unattributed historical failures in the local board's Mine view.
Hide them from authenticated users with no matching owner.
- Keep company health alerts outside the personal badge, consistent with
the client.
- Document the routing contract and add page, badge, and database
regression coverage.

## Verification

- Red: the new badge cases failed with three company failures instead of
one personal failure; eight Mine page cases failed across both inbox
versions.
- Green: 113 focused tests pass in `ui/src/lib/inbox.test.ts`,
`ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx`,
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-list.test.ts`, and
`server/src/__tests__/inbox-dismissals.test.ts`.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- Agent calls on behalf of a user have two additional red-to-green API
regressions.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Server typecheck also
passes after the agent-call fix.
- All CI test shards and browser tests pass on `243bfa681`. The
duplicate local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the CI test lanes
completed; it did not finish locally.

## Risks

- Authenticated users no longer receive unattributed legacy failures in
Mine. Those failures remain visible in All.
- The server badge no longer counts company health alerts, matching the
existing client badge.
- No migration, run state, retry behavior, or company access rules
change.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, terminal execution, and
browser tools. The exact deployment variant and context window size are
not exposed in this session.

DottaandFry 3ca196b0a6 feat(agents): persist agent files across tasks without revision history (#14420)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - An agent needs personal files across tasks and sessions.
> - AGENTS.md is one file in that directory. Supporting files need the
same persistence.
> - The Instructions Editor and agent runs must share one current
directory.
> - Concurrent runs should apply only the files they change. The last
sync of the same file wins.
> - This pull request uses existing file transport and removes temporary
copies after sync.
> - Old instruction-only sessions keep their restore contract. New saves
do not create revision history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14325. This replaces its revision-oriented design with persistent
agent files. Keep #14325 unmerged.

Transport prerequisite #14416 merged first at
`d172197117a14b80a1eb2d2835a0e7cce2679656`. This PR now targets master
and remains below 100 changed files.

Related work: #4513 and #8798 cover instruction tooling. This change
handles run synchronization, cross-task personal files, browser editing,
and old-session restoration.

## What Changed

- Keep one current directory per company and agent. Point AGENT_HOME at
a temporary working copy for each active run. Keep task files and
provider HOME separate.
- Restore text, binary files, and nested folders through workspace
transport. Exclude remote agent files from task Git snapshots with a
self-ignoring file inside the reserved runtime directory; never write
through repository-controlled Git metadata.
- Collect after the provider and child processes have stopped. Keep
resumable conversation state.
- Apply changed and deleted files under the agent lock. The last sync
wins for the same file. Unrelated concurrent changes survive.
- Remove temporary copies after successful sync, rejected sync, and
staging failure. Register ownership before copying so restart recovery
can remove interrupted preparation. Retry transient synchronization up
to three times. Preserve the original remote lease reference until
deletion succeeds; restart cleanup never acquires a replacement sandbox.
Do not create captured directories or a conflict-review queue for new
runs.
- Keep browser editing, stale-draft protection, and streaming binary
downloads. Keep the instruction entry and text editor limited to 1 MiB.
- Keep historical agent-folder sync failures on their affected runs
instead of repeating them above current saved instructions. Preserve
legacy candidate review and current browser-save errors. Avoid duplicate
quota warnings while retaining separate sync failures when they describe
a different problem.
- Require target-scoped caller grants for peer instruction access, while
preserving self edits, responsible-user checks, and protected-change
consent.
- Treat full storage as a nonblocking run warning, never an agent pause
or run-admission failure. Restore already-over-quota saved folders so
ordinary agent cleanup can recover; warn on each run until cleanup. The
run detail view shows the warning.
- Allow 256 MiB per file, 2 GiB per directory, and 100,000 entries. Hash
large files as streams. Check editor-save quotas with metadata instead
of hashing unrelated files.
- Preserve old native inputs, instruction-only copies, paths, digests,
and pending legacy candidates. Adopt old revision heads once. New writes
do not append history rows.
- Add idempotent migration 0287 and verify upgrades from the preview
tables and receipts.
- Add nine interactive stories under **Agents / Persistent files**,
including automatic incoming edits, stale browser drafts, and
storage-limit diagnostics.

## Verification

- Merge candidate: `4f5390107ec6ffd80a76d1d2e85530e66f21d079`, after
merging current master and the landed transport prerequisite.
Integration required no manual conflict resolution; the feature remains
99 changed files. Full workspace typecheck, production build, token
gates, and 715 focused tests passed on this merge candidate. Fresh
Greptile review is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. All 55 checks
passed, with four conditional skips, including the build, typecheck,
browser E2E, and canary dry run. A single retry recovered four jobs
interrupted by runner shutdowns; no source changes were required.
- Historical-warning UI fix: all 6,834 UI tests across 640 files passed,
including regression coverage for three old failures, legacy preserved
edits, and warnings scoped to the affected run. Full workspace
typecheck, production build, Storybook build, and token gates passed.
Browser-verified Storybook playtests passed for Historical Failures
After Successful Save, Storage Limit, and Full Storage Run Warning.
- Review follow-ups at `4e20c9fb2`: all 18 focused tests passed,
including external Git directories, linked worktrees, symlinks,
hardlinks, and distinct I/O failures alongside storage warnings. Server
and UI typechecks, token gates, and the production build passed.
- Storage warning regressions at `0724f3012`: all 33 directory tests and
all five heartbeat-list tests passed, with no skips in their successful
runs. They cover repeated runs while full, an already-over-quota saved
folder, cleanup, warnings retained after unrelated save failures, and
bounded warnings in large result JSON. Server typecheck passed after the
final warning fixes.
- Full workspace typecheck, production build, and token gates passed
during this follow-up. Product E2E harness: 631 tests passed across 52
files; harness typecheck passed. Earlier native session/context and
directory/legacy collection suites passed 537 tests; Runner
unit/transport suites passed 329 tests.
- **Real E2E at `0724f3012` (before this follow-up):** legacy local
Codex and native Daytona Codex each passed six tasks, one server
restart, seven independent assertions, and cleanup verification. Both
prove browser-to-agent edits, agent-to-browser edits, nested/binary
restoration, per-file last-sync-wins, a successful run after an
oversized save rejection, and cleanup clearing the warning.
- Native local Codex also passed the six-task quota flow before the
final warning-retention fixes. That pass began at `918d1ed02` while the
bounded-result warning fix was being edited, so it is not claimed as
exact-final-head evidence. Its final-head rerun failed during embedded
PostgreSQL bootstrap before any provider run: the macOS host had 87,365
of 87,381 SysV semaphores occupied. No unrelated services or kernel
limits were changed.
- The final-source report intentionally records **2/3 cells passed**,
preserving the blocked native-local attempt:
`tests/runner-e2e/results/agent-files-quota-final-20260928-report/`.
Earlier failed attempts and provenance notes remain under
`tests/runner-e2e/results/agent-files-quota-final-20260928-input/` and
the original campaign directories.
- Daytona used immutable image
`ghcr.io/paperclipai/paperclip-daytona-runner@sha256:5643f0d801417cae3581833a1a3bc6715b325e028602738d2652c44cac5dc6bf`
and its exact Linux runner binary. Controller source is `0724f3012`;
image source is recorded separately.
- Legacy-session compatibility and all three ACP Stop/resume browser
regressions passed on the prior validated feature head
`169fab46d5af21caa2269b4c1b29b69c933a6951`. They assert the same
provider session is retained and interrupted writes are not replayed.
Migration upgrade tests also passed earlier.
- Nine interactive stories are under **Agents / Persistent files**,
including **Full Storage Run Warning**. Its playtest and visual browser
inspection passed; the warning states that runs continue and the editor
remains available.
- Prior-head checks on `4e20c9fb2`: 55 passed, two conditional jobs
skipped, no failures or pending checks. All eight browser E2E shards and
their aggregate passed. Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 with no findings;
all review threads are resolved, the security scan passed, and GitHub
reports no merge conflicts.
- The broad local follow-up test run was interrupted after host
semaphore exhaustion affected isolated PostgreSQL instances. It also
encountered the existing macOS long-path fixture failure and two timeout
failures. This is not a claim that the full local suite passed. Logs are
retained; focused storage/warning tests passed.

## Risks

- A later sync can overwrite an earlier edit to the same file, including
a saved browser edit. There is no text merge or retained version. This
is the intended last-sync-wins policy.
- A save that exceeds a storage limit is rejected and its temporary copy
is discarded. The run itself continues normally, and later runs restore
the last saved files with a warning until cleanup. Transient sync
failures get bounded retries. An I/O failure partway through a sync can
leave some files updated; a failed receipt does not claim whole-folder
success.
- Larger folders increase copy time, network traffic, and temporary disk
usage. Active runs still need working copies. Terminal runs do not
accumulate archives. Operators must provision disk for agents and
configured concurrency; these limits are not company-wide quotas.
- A restored old native session remains instruction-only until a fresh
session starts. Its original conflict fence and existing pending
candidates remain compatible.
- Provider processes close at the collection boundary. Conversation
resume remains available, but warm process reuse is lost.
- Backups must include the instance filesystem and database. External
bundles keep their existing behavior until explicitly moved to managed
storage.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The session does not expose a more specific
model ID or context-window size. Reasoning, code execution, and browser
tools assisted this change. Real provider E2E uses `gpt-5.6-sol`.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip e2f1a66aa7 feat: support default-hidden experimental settings (#13980)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for AI-agent companies.
> - Operators can hide settings that their users must not change.
> - The server shares the effective restrictions with the UI and
settings API.
> - An explicit list must change whenever a new experimental flag is
added.
> - This pull request adds a wildcard with named exceptions to the
existing setting.
> - Core applies the policy to its current catalog, so new flags stay
hidden automatically.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #11823 introduced settings visibility. #13907 added workspace
isolation visibility. I searched related PRs and issues and found no
duplicate wildcard implementation.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Operator control of experimental setting visibility through
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`.

**Subsystem affected**

Shared settings policy and its existing server health and mutation
consumers.

**Current behavior**

Operators must name every hidden experimental toggle. A new Core flag
can become visible until the operator updates that list.

**Proposed behavior**

`instance.experimental.*` hides current and future experimental toggles.
Entries such as `!instance.experimental.enableEnvironments` leave named
controls available. Explicit hidden keys and the hidden parent page take
precedence over exceptions.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can maintain a short list of allowed controls instead of a
second copy of Core's full feature catalog.

**Breaking changes**

Existing explicit lists and unset configuration keep their behavior. The
new syntax is opt-in. Older images ignore it, so operators must retain
explicit restrictions until those images are upgraded. Visibility does
not change feature values.

## What Changed

- Expand the wildcard into concrete catalog keys in the shared parser.
- Limit exceptions to known experimental controls and preserve explicit
restrictions in either input order.
- Test a synthetic future catalog addition, duplicate and invalid
entries, API rejection, same-value echoes, and the effective health
payload.
- Document the syntax and the transition for deployments with mixed
image versions.

## Verification

- Targeted parser, future-catalog, health, and settings-route tests
pass: 95 tests across four files.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes, including Rust checks, with the installed
Cargo directory on PATH.
- `pnpm build` passes.
- All current-head CI gates pass, including the full test shards, Rust,
build, browser E2E, and canary dry run:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36083292578. One
unchanged runtime-exposure cold-start test passed on its first retry.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` did not pass on macOS/Node 25: the
first server group reported 13,356 passed, 18 failed, and 99 skipped,
with six failed files (including two failed suite setups). Failures were
in unchanged runtime/company skill cache, chat/email connector fixtures,
embedded-Postgres setup, and workspace cleanup tests. A standalone
filesystem probe reproduced the read-only-directory rename permission
failure. Missing connector fixture paths, database startup failures, and
two integration assertions also occurred; the remaining local groups
were not reached after this group failed. The corresponding CI lanes all
pass. These local failures are not claimed as fixed by this PR.
- Browser suites were not run because this changes the shared policy,
not UI rendering or browser workflows. Health payload and route tests
cover the shared UI/API contract.

## Risks

A malformed exception remains hidden and is reported as unknown.
Exceptions cannot override an explicit hidden toggle or parent page.
Older images ignore wildcard syntax; keep their explicit list during a
mixed-version rollout. No schema or feature-value changes are included.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip aa8fc86331 feat(connections): prefer native apps and ask users to choose external providers (#13941)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections give agents governed access to external services.
> - Native connections should remain the first choice for a supported
app.
> - Other apps may be available through an external MCP provider.
> - The user must know which external provider handles the connection
and choose it before setup.
> - This pull request adds ranked alternatives and server-authored
instructions to connection search.
> - Agents can follow the returned instructions while Paperclip
validates saved choices and access.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13879, which fixed inline MCP provider setup. This PR adds
discovery and provider selection on top of that work.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: shared connection contracts, server search and intent
services, native runtime, CLI, inline setup UI, and evals.

**Problem or motivation**

An agent cannot offer a clear external-provider choice when Paperclip
has no native connection for an app. Adding provider-specific branches
to the core prompt would make those instructions harder to maintain.

**Proposed solution**

Prefer a native connection. Otherwise return verified alternatives in
Composio, Arcade, Executor, Zapier order. Include an external-service
disclosure, a question with None, and the next instruction in the search
result. Validate the saved human choice before creating a selected
fallback setup card. Reuse existing provider accounts and verify
underlying app access separately.

**Alternatives considered**

Do not silently choose a provider. Do not claim that broad execution
tools prove support for every app. Reuse existing questions and
connection intents rather than add another connection model.

**Roadmap alignment**

Extends the existing MCP Tool Gateway & Apps and Agent evals & feedback
capabilities. The MCP aggregators experiment remains the gate. No
duplicate provider-routing PR was found in the public search.

## What Changed

- Add a dated support index and authorized cached-tool evidence for
external routes.
- Return provider questions and next-step instructions from
`connections_search`.
- Preserve pending choices and declines across continuation. Validate
company, task, agent, human, app, and current route eligibility.
- Carry the selected app into new setup and account reuse, validate
explicit provider requests against persisted human messages, and
distinguish provider readiness from app authorization.
- Sync native, MCP, REST, and CLI contracts. Keep core agent
instructions provider-neutral.
- Add production-component Storybooks, focused database tests, and three
real-agent browser eval cases.
- Record the plan, observed failures, fixes, passing evidence, and
acceptance limits.

## Verification

- Latest head `586f0e6cd`: 54 checks passed, 2 skipped; Greptile 5/5 and
all review threads resolved.

- After rebasing on master `18dac1e1e`: 64 focused shared, validator,
route-contract, and database tests passed; server typecheck passed.
- Embedded-browser test drive on the rebased head: native Jira card,
HubSpot external-provider question, Arcade account reuse, one actual MCP
read against a local synthetic fixture, reload persistence, and None
preventing further calls. A real OpenAI-backed agent performed discovery
and continuation.
- UX observation: the agent initially combined mutually exclusive
request fields; the server rejected it and the agent recovered without
changing access. This extra retry remains visible in the transcript.
- After rebase: 23 focused eval grader/catalog tests, affected
TypeScript checks, token gates, production UI build, and Storybook build
passed. Full local tests are intentionally excluded at the maintainer's
request.
- Before rebase: four browser/real-agent attempts passed: native Jira,
None, and reuse of the second provider on two Codex profiles.
- Browser evals used an isolated deterministic MCP fixture through the
real Paperclip gateway. They do not prove production compatibility with
all four providers.
- Review `Apps / Connections / Provider choice` in Storybook. Choose
Arcade, continue through Access, and verify the app name,
external-service disclosure, and URL configuration.
- The detailed verification report is
`doc/connections/2026-09-23-aggregator-routing-verification.md`.

## Risks

- The public support index is finite and can age. Account capability and
app authorization still require verification after selection.
- Existing installed-tool permissions remain in effect. Provider choice
is not a new execution permission boundary. An early Mini attempt
skipped search; clearer provider-neutral instructions made the targeted
rerun pass. This is not a measured reliability rate.
- Explicit requests skip provider confirmation only when a clear
persisted human message or saved provider choice supports them. Other
phrasing falls back to confirmation; the agent query alone is not
consent. These routes do not add tool permissions.
- No database migration or legacy Composio broker is added.
Real-provider acceptance remains separate from fixture proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser tools. The exact deployment variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Product evals
separately used the repository's primary Codex and Codex Mini profiles;
those agents supplied test behavior, not independent provider
compatibility proof.
