9b9631b724 feat(ui): chat-style tasks polish — rich-text composer, attachment chips, live-turn interstitials, mobile layout (#10707)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators talk to their agents on the issue detail page. An
experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view (#10606) makes that page read as a
conversation instead of a ticket form.
> - The first release of that view shipped with a plain-text composer,
no visible narration while an agent works, and a desktop-only layout.
> - Users write formatted replies, paste screenshots, and follow long
agent runs from their phones. The experimental view should support all
of that before it can graduate.
> - This pull request is the next iteration of the same experiment: a
rich-text composer with attachments, live-turn narration on the status
line, cleaner settled-turn history, and a mobile layout.
> - The benefit is a chat view that feels alive while the agent works
and stays readable after it finishes, on desktop and mobile, still fully
behind the existing opt-in flag.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).
Refs #10606 (the merged first release of the experimental chat-style
task view; this PR iterates on it).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #8228 — open PR that polishes the classic issue chat composer. It
targets the flag-off legacy path; this PR only changes the flag-on
experimental view.
- #10466 — merged blockquote-recovery fix in the shared MarkdownEditor.
This PR now reuses that editor inside the chat composer.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view on the issue detail page
(Settings → Experimental, `enableTaskChatRedesign`, default off).

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page, chat-style task view).

**Current behavior**

With the experiment enabled, the composer is a plain textarea with no
formatting, no attachment preview, and no mention support. While an
agent runs, the status line shows only a static label, and the agent's
narration text is hidden. Finished runs render one settled row per turn,
so a run with many short turns produces a long list of near-duplicate
"Worked" rows, and turns without a comment append at the bottom out of
order. On mobile, the desktop bounded-height thread makes the page
scroll poorly.

**Proposed behavior**

The composer uses the shared MarkdownEditor: markdown formatting,
mentions, image paste with thumbnail previews, and non-image attachment
chips. Sending posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. While an agent runs, the status
line rotates playful status words and surfaces the agent's own narration
as short interstitial updates: each update holds for a minimum dwell, is
replaced only when superseded, and slides through a one-line viewport
with tokenized motion. Back-to-back settled turns coalesce into one
"Worked" row with summed durations and re-derived tool counts, and
comment-less settled turns insert chronologically at their run's start
time. On mobile, the thread renders in the document flow with window
auto-follow and a sticky safe-area composer; the desktop layout is
unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

The chat view is only convincing if it feels like a conversation with a
working agent. Rich text and screenshots are table stakes for chat
input. Live narration gives moment-to-moment feedback without opening
transcripts. Coalesced history keeps long-running tasks readable. Mobile
support lets operators follow runs away from their desks.

**Breaking changes**

None. Every change is gated behind the existing `enableTaskChatRedesign`
flag, which is off by default. The flag-off page is unchanged.

## What Changed

- `TaskChatComposer` swaps its textarea for the shared `MarkdownEditor`:
markdown formatting, mentions, image paste with object-URL thumbnail
previews (revoked on clear and unmount), and posting on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter.
- Non-image attachments render as chips on a new shared
`ui/attachment.tsx` primitive (adds the `@base-ui/react` dependency it
builds on).
- New `status-whimsy.ts`: deterministic rotation of playful status words
on the live status line.
- Live interstitial narration: the transcript adapter tags agent
self-talk, and the live status line shows it as ephemeral one-line
updates with a ~4s minimum dwell, hold-until-superseded replacement, and
a slide transition driven by new `--motion-line-scroll` tokens
(cataloged in `motion-tokens.ts`, which a test keeps 1:1 with
`index.css`). Hover affordance applies only to the status line, with no
leading icon.
- Settled-turn history: `coalesceSettledTurns` merges back-to-back
settled agent turns into one "Worked" row (summed per-run durations,
tool counts re-derived from the merged turn); `assembleThreadItems`
inserts comment-less settled turns chronologically at run start instead
of appending them at the bottom; settled turns render tool rows only
(the separate thinking block component is removed).
- The "Worked" summary attaches to the reply timestamp row, and thread
timestamps are always visible.
- Mobile layout: the thread renders with `scroll={false}` in the page
scroll, a new `useWindowAutoFollow` hook keeps the window pinned to new
content, the composer is sticky with safe-area padding, and the editor
uses 16px text so iOS does not zoom on focus. The desktop bounded chain
is untouched.
- New `TaskChatDescriptionBubble` renders the issue description as the
first chat bubble, and `McpIcon` gives MCP tools a distinct icon.
- `IssueDetail.test.tsx` stubs `TaskChatThread`: the composer's
`@mdxeditor` dependency cannot load under jsdom's CSSOM, and the suite
exercises the flag-off path.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `node scripts/check-task-chat-motion.mjs` — OK (30 files scanned,
seams present).
- `cd ui && npx tsc -b` — clean.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,482 of 3,483 tests pass locally. The
one failure is the `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row
time-formatting test, which is timezone-sensitive: it fails identically
on unmodified `origin/master` in a non-UTC timezone and passes with
`TZ=UTC`. It is not related to this change.
- Manual: enable "Chat-Style Tasks" in Settings → Experimental and open
an issue with an assigned agent. Comment to start a run: the status line
rotates status words and shows the agent's narration as short held
updates. After the run, consecutive turns fold into one "Worked" row
under the reply timestamp. Paste an image into the composer to see a
thumbnail chip; attach a non-image file to see a file chip; send with
Cmd+Enter. Open the same issue in a narrow viewport to see the
document-flow layout with the sticky composer.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The composer now loads the shared MarkdownEditor inside the chat view.
The editor is already used across the app (issue descriptions,
comments), so its behavior is well exercised; composer-specific handling
(paste, attachments, submit keys) is covered by new tests.
- The transcript adapter changes how live narration and settled turns
are derived from run logs. Malformed or legacy logs degrade to generic
rows rather than crashing, and the adapter suites cover the merge and
ordering rules.
- Object URLs for paste previews are revoked on send-clear and unmount
to avoid leaks; jsdom environments without `URL.createObjectURL` are
guarded.
- All changes are behind the default-off `enableTaskChatRedesign` flag.
Overall risk with the flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

scotttongandPaperclip 772fa98393 fix(ui): move IssueRow divider and hover wash to the row root (#10702)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Inbox and Tasks screens render issues as a vertical list of
`IssueRow` components
> - A recent refactor split `IssueRow` into a root `div` plus a full-row
overlay `Link`, and the divider and hover styles moved onto that overlay
> - As a result every row shows a bottom border and hover greys the text
instead of tinting the background
> - This pull request moves the divider and hover/selected wash back
onto the root row band and keeps only positioning on the overlay
> - The benefit is the list reads cleanly again: no stray dividers, and
hover tints the background behind the text

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists. Describing the bug in-PR (bug report):

**What happened**

- In the Inbox and Tasks list views, every row shows a 1px bottom
border, including the last row.
- Hovering a row dims/greys the row text instead of showing a background
tint behind the content.

**Expected behavior**

- List rows in Inbox and Tasks show no separator lines by default.
- Hover shows a subtle background tint behind the row content; the text
stays fully legible.
- The blocked inbox view keeps its intentional separators.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open the Inbox or Tasks list view.
2. Note the horizontal border under every row, including the last.
3. Hover a row and note the text greys out rather than the background
tinting.

**Root cause**

- PR #10526 restructured `IssueRow` from a single root `Link` into a
root `div` plus a full-row `absolute inset-0` overlay `Link` (to keep
header controls clickable). The divider and hover/selected/checklist
background classes moved onto the overlay `Link`. `last:border-b-0` no
longer matched (the Link is the first child of a multi-child div), and
the hover wash painted on top of the content instead of behind it.

**Paperclip version/commit**

- Base commit: `8b83d69e3` (branched from current `master`).

**Deployment mode**

- UI (web) list views: Inbox and Tasks.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/IssueRow.tsx`: moved the divider classes and the
hover/selected/checklist background wash from the overlay `Link` to the
root row `div`, so the tint paints behind the content and
`last:border-b-0` matches the real last row. The overlay `Link` now
keeps only `absolute inset-0` positioning and the focus ring. Renamed
the `hideDivider` prop to an opt-in `showDivider` (default `false`).
Kept `[&_button]:relative [&_button]:z-10` on the root so the Archive
button stays clickable above the overlay, and kept the `isArchiving`
collapse animation on the root row.
- `ui/src/components/IssuesList.tsx`: dropped the old `hideDivider`
usage (dividers are now opt-in).
- `ui/src/pages/Inbox.tsx`: dropped the old `hideDivider` usage.
- `ui/src/components/BlockedInboxView.tsx`: added `showDivider` so this
view keeps its separators.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx tsc -b` — typecheck passes with the change.
- Manual (recommended for reviewer): in the Inbox and Tasks list views,
confirm no per-row bottom border and that the last row has none. Because
dark-mode `--border` is 10% white and near-invisible in screenshots,
assert the computed `border-bottom-width` on a row element rather than
eyeballing pixels.
- Hover a row: text stays legible; a background tint appears behind the
content.
- Inbox: the Archive button appears on hover and is clickable (the
overlay does not swallow the click).
- Blocked inbox view: separators still render.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change relocates existing Tailwind classes between two
elements of the same row and renames one internal prop; no data or API
surface changes. All `IssueRow` call sites were updated in this PR
(verified: no remaining `hideDivider` references).

## Model Used

- Claude, Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), extended thinking with tool use.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 c185e64b77 feat(ui): chat-style task view behind an experimental flag (#10606)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators spend most of their time on the issue detail page. They
talk to the assigned agent there through comments.
> - The current page reads as a ticket form. The thread sits below
properties, the composer sits mid-page, and live agent activity renders
as dense transcript logs.
> - Talking to an agent is a conversation. A chat-first layout matches
that mental model better than a ticket form.
> - A layout change this large must not disrupt current users. It needs
a safe opt-in path and full parity with the existing thread features.
> - This pull request adds a chat-style task view behind a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle. The flag is off by default and the
existing page is unchanged when it is off.
> - The benefit is a focused, readable conversation with the agent: live
tool activity folds into compact summaries, the composer stays at the
bottom, and properties, plan, and artifacts move into header tabs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #4489 — an earlier, closed attempt to promote the conversation to the
primary surface on issue detail. This PR is a fresh, flag-gated take on
the same goal.
- #8837 — an open PR that proposes a two-column task layout. It
restructures the same page but keeps the ticket paradigm; this PR is
orthogonal because it is opt-in and chat-first.

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page).

**Problem or motivation**

The issue detail page presents agent conversations as a ticket:
properties first, thread below, composer in the middle of the page, and
raw transcript noise during live runs. Users who mainly converse with
their agents must scroll past chrome to follow the conversation, and
live activity is hard to read.

**Proposed solution**

An opt-in chat-style view of the issue detail page, gated by a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle in Settings → Experimental. With
the flag on, the thread fills the center pane, the composer docks to the
bottom of the viewport, Properties / Plan / Artifacts become header
tabs, live turns show a status pill with the current tool action and
elapsed time, and settled turns collapse to a "Worked · N tools" summary
that expands into per-tool rows. With the flag off, nothing changes.

**Alternatives considered**

Restyling the existing layout in place (rejected: too disruptive without
an opt-out), and a separate chat page beside the issue page (rejected:
splits the task's single source of truth). A per-request lab page
(`/task-chat-lab`, dev-only) was kept for design iteration instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md "CEO Chat" wants lighter conversations that still resolve to
real work objects. This PR keeps the core task-and-comments model — it
only changes presentation, opt-in — so it does not duplicate that
planned work.

## What Changed

- New `enableTaskChatRedesign` instance setting, exposed as a
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment card in Settings → Experimental (shared
feature catalog, validators, server instance-settings service, and UI
settings page).
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/` component family: chat thread with
turn grouping, agent reply bubbles, live status pill, collapsible turn
summaries with per-tool rows, plan tab with a sticky CTA action bar,
inline interaction cards, per-request mode chips, and a bottom-docked
composer.
- A shared tool taxonomy (`tool-taxonomy.ts`) maps tool names to verbs
and icons; the status pill, tool rows, and the classic transcript view
all use it.
- A transcript adapter converts stored run logs into chat turns; it
dedupes tool-call updates by `toolUseId` so tool counts match the
expanded rows, and it keeps a tool row's first real name when later
generic updates arrive.
- Composer: posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter, supports image paste with
object-URL thumbnail previews (revoked on clear/unmount), and uploads
through the issue attachments route.
- `IssueDetail.tsx`: with the flag on, pane tabs move to the header bar,
the header is not sticky, and the chat fills the center; with the flag
off, the previous layout renders unchanged.
- Motion tokens for the new animations live in `ui/src/index.css` with a
`motion-tokens.ts` catalog and a test that keeps the two in sync (the
catalog now also covers the shared enter/exit/swap tokens that the
decision/quicklook block declares).
- A dev-only `/task-chat-lab` page with fixtures and a tweak panel for
motion tuning.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across the workspace.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,344 of 3,345 tests pass locally. The
one failure is `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row time formatting,
which is timezone-sensitive: it also fails on unmodified `origin/master`
in a non-UTC timezone and passes with `TZ=UTC`. It is not related to
this change.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 21/21 pass (covers
the new setting).
- Manual: start the dev server, open Settings → Experimental, enable
"Chat-Style Tasks", and open any issue. The thread fills the page, the
composer docks to the bottom, and Properties / Plan / Artifacts appear
as header tabs. Assign an agent and comment to watch a live run: the
status pill shows the current tool action with elapsed time, and the
finished turn folds into a "Worked · N tools" summary. Disable the
toggle and confirm the classic page is unchanged.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The flag-off path goes through the same `IssueDetail.tsx` file, so a
regression there would affect current users. Mitigation: the classic
markup renders through the same components as before behind explicit
flag conditionals, and the full UI suite passes.
- The transcript adapter interprets stored run-log formats, including
legacy entries without `toolUseId`. Malformed logs degrade to generic
tool rows rather than crashing.
- The new view changes no server behavior other than one additive
instance setting; it is additive and default-off. Overall risk with the
flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 634ae1298f fix(ui): consolidate live/running blues; stop inbox unread badge indenting the row (#9383)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI leans on a shared design-token + component system so
surfaces stay visually consistent as they grow
> - Two small inconsistencies had crept in: several distinct blues were
used to signal "live/running" agent state across the sidebar, task
header, and chat thread; and in the Inbox an unread task's mark-read dot
was pushing that row's status icon and title one column right of read
rows
> - Both read as "not quite aligned" in daily use and undercut the
polish of the lists work that just landed
> - This pull request consolidates the live/running blues onto one
shared recipe and stops the unread dot from indenting the row
> - The benefit is one consistent "live" blue everywhere and Inbox rows
that line up whether read or unread

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work; describing inline per the
bug-report template.

- **Problem**: (1) the same concept — an agent actively working —
rendered in three visibly different blues: the sidebar `N live` dot, the
task-detail "Live" badge, and the chat-thread "RUNNING" badge each used
a different token/recipe. (2) In the Inbox, unread rows carry a leading
mark-read dot that occupies the chevron column, but a per-row spacer was
still rendering in that same column — so on unread rows the status icon
+ title were shifted one column (~24px) further right than read rows.
Most visible when grouped by workspace.
- **Steps to reproduce**: open the Inbox with a mix of read and unread
tasks (group by workspace). The unread rows' status icons sit further
right than the read rows'. Separately, compare the blue of the sidebar
`N live` dot, a task's "Live" header badge, and a chat "RUNNING" badge —
they don't match.
- **Expected behavior**: unread and read rows align on the same status
column, with the unread dot centered on the workspace group chevron; and
all three "live/running" affordances share one blue.

## What Changed

- Added a shared `liveBlueBadge` recipe in `ui/src/lib/status-colors.ts`
and pointed the task-detail **Live** badge (`IssueDetail.tsx`) and the
chat-thread **RUNNING** badge (`IssueChatThread.tsx`) at it; removed the
now-redundant `brandChipBadge` usage from the chat thread and a stray
`🔵` breadcrumb prefix.
- Changed the sidebar **`N live`** dot (`SidebarNavItem.tsx`) to the
same `blue-600 / dark:blue-400` as its adjacent label text.
- **Inbox** (`Inbox.tsx`): skip the per-row leading spacer when the
unread mark-read dot is present, so the dot alone fills the chevron
column. Unread rows' status icon + title now sit in the same column as
read rows, and the dot centers on the workspace group chevron.
- **Test** (`Inbox.test.tsx`): added a regression test asserting an
unread leaf row renders the mark-read dot and drops the spacer, while a
read row keeps the spacer.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean (all packages)
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx` — 14/14 (includes
the new regression test)
- Full Storybook visual suite (514 stories, both themes) — green locally
(CI cannot run this suite yet — the baseline-manifest archive is
unpublished, a pre-existing condition from #9134)
- Manual (workspace-grouped Inbox, 2× dark): measured the unread badge
center at the same x as the workspace chevron (276 = 276) and the
unread-row status icon at the same x as read-row status icons (292 =
292). Before/after screenshots in a PR comment below.

## Risks

Low risk — presentation only. No data, routing, or state changes. The
blue consolidation is a token/class swap; the Inbox change removes a
redundant spacer element on unread rows only (read rows and
non-grouped/mobile views are unaffected). The unread-row behavior is
covered by the new unit test.

## Model Used

Claude (Anthropic), Opus 4.8 — model id `claude-opus-4-8`; extended
thinking + tool use, driving local verification (typecheck, token gates,
vitest, Playwright visual suite + pixel measurements).

scotttongandClaude Opus 4.8 7fd321d622 feat(ui): use Lucide icons for task status glyphs (#9395)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators scan task state constantly, so the task **status**
vocabulary (backlog / todo / in progress / in review / done / blocked /
cancelled) has to read instantly
> - Those statuses render through one shared component, `StatusGlyph`,
whose icons were hand-rolled SVG geometry lifted from an internal spec
> - Hand-rolled glyphs are harder to reason about, drift from the rest
of the UI (which uses Lucide everywhere else), and mix fill/stroke
styles across statuses
> - This pull request swaps the hand-rolled geometry for named Lucide
icons — one clean, consistent icon family — with no change to colours,
sizing, or accessibility
> - The benefit is a status icon set that is consistent with the rest of
the app's iconography, trivially adjustable (change a mapping, not SVG
path math), and simpler to maintain

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing public GitHub issue. Describing the change in-PR
(feature/polish):

**Problem / motivation.** The task status icons in `StatusGlyph` were
bespoke inline SVGs (a half-filled disc for *in progress*, a filled disc
+ knockout check for *done*, ring+bar for *blocked*, ring+slash for
*cancelled*, etc.). The rest of the UI uses [Lucide](https://lucide.dev)
icons, so the status set was the odd one out — and its mixed fill/stroke
shapes were harder to scan and to tweak.

**Proposed solution.** Map each status to a Lucide icon and render that
instead:

Colours (the `--status-task-icon-*` tokens), the `sm/md/lg` size scale,
`currentColor` recolouring, and the `role="img"` / `aria-label`
behaviour are all unchanged — only the shapes change.

**Alternatives considered.** Keeping the bespoke geometry (rejected:
inconsistent with the app and harder to maintain).

**Related PRs** (linked for reviewer context, not dependencies):
- Refs #8580 — the merged PR that established the current hand-rolled
status glyphs this PR restyles.
- Refs #8838 — open PR forwarding Radix trigger props through
`StatusGlyph`; touches the same component (no overlap with this change).
- Refs #1760 — open proposal to redesign the *cancelled* status icon
specifically; this PR moves cancelled to Lucide `ban`.

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/StatusGlyph.tsx`: replaced the per-status
hand-rolled SVG `glyphBody()` geometry with a `status → Lucide icon` map
(`circle-dashed`, `circle`, `rotate-cw`, `circle-dot`, `circle-check`,
`circle-minus`, `ban`). Kept the token-driven colour wiring, size scale,
`currentColor` recolouring, a11y label handling, and the `in_queue` =
blocked-icon-recoloured-blue behaviour.
- `ui/src/components/StatusGlyph.test.tsx`: updated to lock the new icon
mapping (per-status Lucide class, size scale, colour var, `in_queue`,
a11y) instead of the old geometry.

Net: two files, +74 / −138 (the component got smaller). Because every
status surface (list, board, detail header, status picker,
sub-task/blocked-by pills, chips) routes through `StatusGlyph`, this
single-component edit covers them all.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → **3/3 clean** (no hardcoded
colour/spacing/font values introduced).
- `pnpm typecheck` → clean across all packages.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` → **2509/2509 passing**, including the
updated `StatusGlyph` test.
- Manual: ran the worktree dev server and confirmed the new icons render
everywhere (task list, task detail, related-task chips, and the status
picker showing all seven).

**Storybook visual-regression note:** this is an intentional visual
change, so the status-icon stories will diff against the published
baseline. The baseline snapshots need to be regenerated and republished
by a maintainer (`pnpm test:storybook-visual:update` from a trusted
environment) as part of accepting this change — the visual-regression CI
check is expected to be red until then. No baseline is published in the
environment this PR was authored in, so that step is left to a
maintainer.

## Risks

- **Low risk / cosmetic.** No logic, data, or API changes — only the
rendered icon shapes. Colours, sizes, and accessibility labels are
unchanged.
- The most noticeable shifts are *in progress* (half-disc → rotating
arrow), *done* (solid disc+check → outline circle+check), and
*cancelled* (ring+slash → ban). These are deliberate.
- The only CI check expected to fail is the Storybook visual-regression
job, pending a maintainer baseline update (see Verification).

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 53d09d4c34 fix(ui): inbox/task list parity, nesting alignment, hover perf, and routine detail polish (#9317)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip's UI is governed by the design system merged in #9134 and
the component convergence in #9240 — one Card, one Badge, one nav row,
one `IssueRow`, a single multiplicative radius ladder.
> - With those primitives in place, the remaining rough edges were
interaction and alignment details on the surfaces people use every day:
the inbox, the task list, the sidebar, and the routine/task detail
pages.
> - Each item here was reported from live use and fixed against a
running instance, then verified by measurement (pixel alignment, frame
timing) rather than by eye alone.
> - The result is that the inbox and task lists now behave as one system
(same hover, keyboard nav, tree-guide, and archive language), list
nesting reads correctly, list hover is smooth, and the routine detail
page scrolls and aligns like the rest of the app.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work; describing per the feature
template.

- **Problem**: after the design-system foundation (#9134) and component
convergence (#9240), the inbox/task lists still had interaction and
alignment gaps — hover lag on long lists, keyboard navigation that only
partly matched between the two lists, workspace/parent nesting whose
guides and chevrons didn't line up, an inbox that sat offset from the
task list, and a routine detail page with an odd double-scroll and a
bespoke sub-nav.
- **Proposed behavior**: the inbox and task lists share one interaction
contract (hover, keyboard nav, collapse, archive), list nesting aligns
to the status column with clean chevrons, list hover is CSS-only (no
per-hover re-render), and the routine detail page uses a fixed
header/sub-nav with a single scrolling content region and a sub-nav that
matches the primary nav.

## What Changed

- **List hover performance**: hover is now painted purely by CSS
`:hover` and records the hovered row in a ref, instead of writing
list-selection state on every `mouseenter` (which re-rendered 100–300
non-memoized rows per hover). Keyboard nav reads the ref so it still
continues from the hovered row; the keyboard band clears on the first
real mouse move so hover and keyboard selection never show two bands at
once. The row's `transition-colors` fade was removed so the highlight
snaps (no comet-tail). Measured on a 100-row scrub: worst frame **333 ms
→ 33 ms**, long frames (>50 ms) **12 → 0**, avg **41 → 60 fps**.
- **Inbox ↔ task-list parity**: keyboard navigation works on every inbox
tab (archive/read keys stay scoped to the archivable tab); group headers
and parent tasks collapse/expand with the arrow keys in both lists; the
task list gains the same j/k / arrows / Enter selection model as the
inbox; hover selection bands match; the `g` then `i` go-to-inbox chord
works app-wide.
- **List nesting & alignment**: the workspace group-header chevron lines
up exactly with the task chevrons below it (both lists); the
parent→child connector line drops from under the parent's **status
icon** rather than its chevron and breaks with a 14px gap around a
nested row's own chevron; and inbox rows line up with the task list
(read rows no longer reserve a mark-read column).
- **Inbox archive affordance**: moved from a bare `x` left of the status
icon to an `Archive` icon + label button on the right (before the
timestamp), revealed on row hover; the left slot now carries only the
unread dot; swipe-to-archive is unchanged.
- **Sidebar**: when no agent has a live run, the AGENTS section shows 3
recent agents (was 5) plus "See all agents"; the working-agents view is
unchanged.
- **Routine detail page**: the layout is bounded to the main scroll area
so the header (Run now + automation toggle) and the sub-nav stay fixed
and only the section content scrolls (was a page-level scroll competing
with a `sticky` sub-nav). The sub-nav items adopt the primary nav's
rhythm — row padding/height, inset rounded pill, type scale, and 16px
icons — and its background matches the main nav.
- **Task detail**: dropped the redundant `🔵` prefix the breadcrumb added
for live/in-progress tasks; the status glyph already conveys that state.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 CLEAN
- `pnpm typecheck` → green (all packages)
- `cd ui && npx vitest run` → 2255/2255 (assertions updated in lockstep
where behavior changed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` → exit 0
- Storybook visual regression: run locally throughout (the
baseline-manifest archive is still unpublished, so CI cannot run this
suite — pre-existing condition from #9134). Every visible delta was
reviewed against a live instance and, where it was intentional (nesting
alignment, routine sub-nav restyle, unread-row shift), the affected
snapshots were re-baselined locally.
- Manual/measured: inbox + task lists (grouped and nested, light +
dark), hover-scrub frame timing, keyboard navigation, and the routine
detail scroll/alignment were exercised on a running instance.

## Risks

- Behavior-and-alignment changes concentrated in `IssueRow` /
`IssuesList` / `Inbox` (the shared task-row surfaces). The riskiest area
— the hover/keyboard-selection model — is covered by unit tests (updated
in lockstep) and was measured and driven live.
- The routine detail scroll change restructures that page's layout
container; verified the page's own scroll stays fixed while only the
section content scrolls.
- The visual suite cannot yet run in CI (unpublished baseline archive —
pre-existing); snapshot coverage is local-only until that lands.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) via Claude Code — agentic
coding with tool use (file editing, test execution, Playwright
measurement/screenshot verification); extended thinking enabled.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 c90e66bdd6 feat(ui): design-system component convergence — Card/Badge adoption, multiplicative radius ladder, unified list surfaces (#9240)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its UI is governed by a design system (`DESIGN.md` + the token layer
in `ui/src/index.css`, merged in #9134) whose first principle is "one
way to say each thing" — one Card, one Badge, one nav row
> - After the token extraction landed, ~35 files still hand-rolled card
containers, ~45 files hand-rolled pill spans, the sidebar agents section
duplicated the nav-row chrome, and the inbox and tasks lists rendered
the same task rows two subtly different ways
> - Each divergence is a place where a future design change (radius,
hover language, status vocabulary) silently misses surfaces, defeating
the "edit tokens + run checks" model the design system exists for
> - This pull request converges those surfaces onto the shared
primitives, codifies the radius scale as the modern multiplicative
shadcn ladder, and unifies the row/hover/tree-guide language across the
inbox and tasks lists — every visible delta was human-reviewed
screen-by-screen against a live instance across nine feedback rounds
> - The benefit is that the app's look is now steerable from single
knobs (one `--radius` anchor, one Card, one Badge, one row component),
and the visual regression suite covers the result (514 snapshots
including a new AgentDetail page story)

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work; describing per the feature
template:

- **Problem**: after the design-token foundation (#9134),
component-level drift remained — hand-rolled cards/pills, duplicated
sidebar row chrome, and two different renderings of task rows (inbox vs
tasks list) meant design changes had to be applied per-surface and
frequently missed spots (e.g. status glyphs rendered 16px in the inbox
but 20px in the tasks list because a slot override silently beat the
component default).
- **Proposed behavior**: all card-shaped containers render via `Card`,
all label pills via `Badge`, sidebar rows via `SidebarNavItem`, and both
task-list surfaces via one `IssueRow` configuration; the radius scale is
a single multiplicative ladder anchored at `--radius: 0.5rem`.
- **Alternatives considered**: converting interactive
`<button>`/`<Link>` cards to `Card` divs (rejected — breaks semantics;
documented inline with `design-allow` comments instead); keeping the
legacy additive radius ladder (rejected in favor of the standard shadcn
multiplicative mapping).

## What Changed

- `Card` adoption across ~35 files (settings pages, auth/board flows,
dashboards, list containers, KPI tiles); non-adoptable sites
(interactive cards, `<li>` rows, class-string props, chart tooltip)
carry documented `design-allow(card-pattern)` comments
- `Card` gains an `interactive` prop — one quiet hover affordance for
clickable cards (cursor, border darken, shadow lift, focus ring),
applied to skills tiles, artifact cards, and the company selector; cards
carry no resting shadow
- `Badge` adoption for 113 hand-rolled pill spans across ~45 files;
`PropertyChip` wraps `Badge` internally; `StatusBadge`, external-object
chips, and match chips stay bespoke by documented decision (WCAG-tuned
status mechanics)
- Radius ladder becomes the multiplicative shadcn mapping
(`sm/md/lg/xl/2xl/3xl/4xl = 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.4/1.8/2.2/2.6 × --radius`,
anchor `0.5rem`); every card surface unifies on `rounded-lg`; the
orphaned 8px literal token is deleted
- Sidebar: agent rows render via `SidebarNavItem` (new additive props:
`iconNode`, `active`, `trailing`, `liveAccessory`); live dots use
`--status-agent-running`; one row rhythm and inset rounded pill
highlight; right-aligned trailing badges; every labeled section is
collapsible
- Inbox + tasks lists unified: md status glyphs, `accent/50` rounded row
hovers, vertical tree guides under parent rows (opaque underlay so
dark-mode translucent borders don't stack), no horizontal dividers under
expanded parents; the swipe-to-archive reveal layer shows only
mid-swipe; board toggle uses the `SquareKanban` glyph
- Kanban: every column carries a status-hued tint; lanes default
expanded (including empty); compact mode collapses empty lanes to
labeled rails (fixes a clipped, label-less empty-column state)
- Storybook: new AgentDetail page story (realistic fixtures, light+dark)
joins the visual suite; suite captures with `reducedMotion: 'reduce'`
and the ux-lab reasoning ticker honors `prefers-reduced-motion`; a stale
lexical alias in `storybook/main.ts` is fixed (build was broken since
the lexical 0.46 bump)
- Keyboard navigation, from live review of the unified lists: inbox
navigation keys work on every tab (archive keys stay scoped to the
archivable tab); keyboard-driven scrolling no longer hands the selection
to whatever row lands under the stationary cursor (hover selects only
after real pointer movement); the tasks list view gains the same j/k /
arrows / Enter selection model as the inbox; and the `g` then `i`
go-to-inbox chord works app-wide instead of only on the issue detail
page
- Token gates restored to 3/3 CLEAN (tokenized a post-#9134 regression
in the recovery card); decisions recorded in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` and `doc/design/COMPONENT-INVENTORY.md`
(investigation verdicts: FileTree vs WorkspaceFileBrowser and the four
entity pickers stay separate — evidence included)

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 CLEAN
- `pnpm typecheck` → green (all packages)
- `cd ui && npx vitest run` → 2106/2106 (assertions updated in lockstep
where they documented superseded decisions; new tests for the global
go-to-inbox chord)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` → exit 0
- `pnpm build-storybook` → succeeds (also fixes the lexical-alias break
on master)
- Visual regression: 514-snapshot Playwright suite green against the
updated baseline (zero diffs from the keyboard-navigation round — those
changes are purely behavioral). Note: baselines live outside git per the
suite design and the baseline-manifest archive is not yet published, so
CI cannot run this suite — it was run locally throughout; every visible
delta was reviewed screen-by-screen in a live instance across nine
review rounds. Review evidence (before/after triplets) intentionally
kept out of the repo for size; available on request.
- Manual: exercised dashboard, tasks (list + board), inbox, agents,
skills, costs, settings, and artifact surfaces in light and dark themes

## Risks

- Wide but shallow visual surface: most changes are class-string
substitutions with behavior preserved (props, handlers, roles, test
ids). The riskiest areas — dnd-kit card refs (React 19 ref-as-prop),
inbox swipe-to-archive, and sidebar overlays — are covered by existing
unit tests (all green) and were manually exercised.
- Intentional visual deltas (rounded cards, tinted kanban columns, md
status glyphs, unified hovers) are design decisions recorded in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`; each maps to a re-baselined snapshot set
locally.
- The visual suite cannot yet run in CI (unpublished baseline archive —
pre-existing condition from #9134); until that lands, snapshot coverage
is local-only.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) via Claude Code — agentic
coding with tool use (file editing, test execution, Playwright
screenshot verification); extended thinking enabled.

c07e650cd7 feat(ui): single-source design tokens, visual regression suite, and theme retune (#9134)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its UI is the operator's daily surface: task lists, boards, budgets,
agent status — all built on shadcn components and Tailwind
> - Visual values (colors, spacing, type sizes, radii) were hardcoded at
~1,600 call sites: the same "small gray label" was 9/10/11px depending
on the file, charts disagreed with chips about status colors, two
toggle-switch implementations coexisted in two greens, and there was no
visual regression coverage
> - This made the UI drift-prone and made any restyle a
hundreds-of-files project, which discourages design iteration
> - This pull request extracts visual values into a single token layer
in `ui/src/index.css`, adds a Storybook visual regression suite backed
by external immutable baseline archives, and then applies a deliberate
retune reviewed change-by-change on screenshot diffs
> - The benefit is that Paperclip's look becomes a config surface:
retheming is a token edit reviewed as a snapshot diff, drift is blocked
by a token gate, and future UI PRs can prove exactly what changed
visually without committing hundreds of PNGs

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing public issue covers this work (searched "design tokens",
"visual regression", "design system" across issues and PRs). Related in
spirit: Refs #8982 (theming a hardcoded panel — a one-off instance of
the same problem class this PR addresses systematically).

**Problem (feature-request form):** UI visual values are hardcoded per
call site with no source of truth and no regression coverage;
consistency depends on reviewer memory, and restyling requires mass file
edits.
**Proposed solution (this PR):** a single token layer + enforcement gate
+ externally stored visual snapshot suite, then an intentional restyle
on top of that foundation.

## What Changed

- **Token extraction (zero visual change, machine-verified during
development):** committed codemods (`scripts/codemod-*.mjs`) moved
~1,600 hardcoded color/type/spacing/radius/shadow/misc values into named
tokens in a non-inline `:root` block of `ui/src/index.css`.
- **Visual regression suite:** `pnpm test:storybook-visual` covers 255
stories × light/dark = 510 Playwright screenshots at `maxDiffPixels: 0`,
plus new primitive-coverage stories and deterministic-render fixes.
- **External visual baselines:** committed PNG snapshots were removed.
`tests/storybook-visual/baseline-manifest.json` pins an immutable
archive URL/hash/size/count, and `scripts/storybook-visual-baseline.mjs`
handles `download`, `verify`, `pack`, and trusted maintainer `upload`
flows.
- **Opt-in visual CI artifacts:** added a `Storybook Visual` workflow
that runs on manual dispatch or PRs labeled `storybook-visual`,
downloads/verifies the baseline, runs Playwright, and uploads Playwright
report/test-result artifacts for review. Normal PR runs do not mutate
baseline objects.
- **Token gate:** `pnpm check:token-gates` — zero hex literals, zero
arbitrary bracket values, zero raw font-sizes in `ui/src/components/**`
and `ui/src/pages/**`, with a documented inline allowlist for legitimate
opt-outs.
- **Theme retune (intentional, snapshot-reviewed):** new base theme
values; radius ladder derived from a single `--radius` knob; micro-type
cluster collapsed to a named ladder (`--text-nano/micro/compact` +
Tailwind `text-xs`/`text-sm`); letter-spacing collapsed to named steps.
- **One status-color vocabulary:** charts, quota/budget bar fills,
RUNNING/live chips, and liveness indicators all use the canonical
`--status-*` hues. Light-mode legibility fixes for red alert surfaces
that used dark-tuned text classes.
- **One switch:** `ToggleSwitch` restyled to the registry capsule form,
second hand-rolled implementation removed, and all call sites unified.
- **Docs:** `DESIGN.md` is the design contract; `doc/design/` holds
audit reports, decision logs, and updated guidance for external baseline
review/update workflows.
- Dead code removed (`agentStatusBadge` duplicate map), byte-identical
contrast constants consolidated, semantic renames
(`--project-seed`/`--project-none`, `--liveness-blue`).

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 gates CLEAN during the design-system
run
- `pnpm typecheck` && `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — green
during the design-system run
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/storybook-visual-baseline.test.mjs` —
pass after external-baseline rework
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit --pretty false --module NodeNext
--moduleResolution NodeNext --target ES2022 --types
node,@playwright/test tests/storybook-visual/playwright.config.ts
tests/storybook-visual/storybook-visual.spec.ts` — pass after
external-baseline rework
- `git diff --check origin/pr/9134..HEAD` — pass after external-baseline
rework
- `find tests/storybook-visual -type f -name '*.png' -print | wc -l` —
`0`
- `node scripts/storybook-visual-baseline.mjs verify` — intentionally
fails closed until the first trusted maintainer publishes the baseline
archive and updates `baseline-manifest.json`

## Risks

- **Large but shallow:** the PR still touches many UI files due to
mechanical token extraction and retune work, but committed PNG snapshot
churn has been removed from the branch.
- **Baseline publication required before the visual suite can pass in
clean clones:** the manifest currently has placeholder archive metadata.
A trusted maintainer must publish the first immutable archive, then
update `baseline-manifest.json`.
- **Rendering platform variance:** the external baseline should be
captured in the documented Linux/Chromium environment. Future CI runs
verify against the pinned archive and fail closed on checksum/count
mismatch.
- **Visual CI is opt-in while stabilizing:** add the `storybook-visual`
label or dispatch the workflow manually to produce downloadable
Playwright report/test-result artifacts.
- **Scheduled follow-ups, deliberately out of scope:** Tailwind palette
classes map to semantic tokens in a dedicated pass; card/pill component
consolidation; ESLint ratchet. Tracked in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`.

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic, `claude-fable-5`, Mythos-class tier) with
extended thinking, running in Claude Code with tool use; mechanical
phases delegated to Claude Sonnet subagents. Follow-up external-baseline
rework assisted by OpenAI Codex (`gpt-5` coding agent with repository,
terminal, and GitHub tool use). All bulk rewrites executed via
deterministic, idempotent scripts committed in `scripts/`; intentional
visual changes were human-reviewed on screenshot contact sheets.

scotttongandClaude Opus 4.8 fb2b760915 fix(issues): attribute agent-authored comments instead of rendering them as "Board" (#8833)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task/issue threads render each comment as a chat bubble; the author
determines whether it shows as a left-aligned agent bubble (name + icon)
or a right-aligned "Board" bubble
> - Comments posted by an agent from a local execution environment are
written with a non-human author id (`local-board`/system), so they were
mis-rendered as blue "Board" bubbles instead of being attributed to the
authoring agent
> - This misattribution is confusing (it looks like the human board said
something an agent actually said) and it can drive false
wake/reconciliation behavior on the affected threads
> - This pull request adds server-side attribution derivation (lossless
run-id join first, then an explicit run-log post marker), persists the
derived agent so the read path stops re-scanning run logs, and stops the
client from labeling agent-derived comments "Board"

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

<!-- No public GitHub issue — describing the problem in-PR (bug report
shape). -->

**What happened?**

In a task/issue comment thread, comments authored by an agent from a
local execution environment are stored with a non-human author id
(`local-board`/system). The UI renders these as right-aligned blue
"Board" bubbles, implying a human board member authored them. The
mislabeling is also a wake/reconciliation hazard: an agent comment that
reads as "Board" can look like human board input.

**Expected behavior**

Such comments should render as the authoring agent (left-aligned bubble
with agent name + icon). Genuine human/board comments must continue to
render as "Board" and must never be reattributed to an agent.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Have an agent post a comment on an issue from a local execution
environment (author id `local-board`).
2. Open the issue comment thread in the UI.
3. Observe the agent's comment rendered as a right-aligned blue "Board"
bubble instead of the authoring agent.

**Root cause**

The read path did not resolve the authoring agent for these comments,
and the client fell back to a "Board" label for the `local-board`
author.

## What Changed

- **Server derivation (`server/src/services/issues.ts`):**
- Resolve the authoring agent from the comment's run id first
(`createdByRunId`/`derivedCreatedByRunId` → `heartbeatRuns.agentId`) —
lossless when present.
- Second tier `run_log_comment_post`: read the run log lazily (only for
still-unresolved comments) to match the explicit `comment id:` post
marker.
- **Guard:** never reattribute a comment whose author maps to a genuine
user profile. Only the non-human sentinel (`local-board`, which is
itself a `user` row) and authors absent from the `user` table are
eligible.
- Pure timing-overlap tiers are intentionally **not** used (Option A) —
an agent comment and a human board comment posted during the same run
are indistinguishable rows, so any timing guess risks mislabeling a real
human comment.
- **Persistence
(`packages/db/src/migrations/0126_issue_comment_derived_attribution.sql`,
`packages/db/src/schema/issue_comments.ts`):** add stored `derived_*`
attribution columns and write the resolved agent back with a single bulk
`UPDATE ... FROM (VALUES ...)`, so reads stop recomputing from run logs.
Migration is additive (new nullable columns) with a batched, idempotent
backfill of the lossless run-id tier over historical rows.
- **Types (`packages/shared/src/types/issue.ts`):** expose the persisted
attribution fields and the `IssueCommentDerivedAuthorSource` union.
- **Client (`ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts`):** the message
builder already prefers a resolved agent id (`authorAgentId ??
runAgentId ?? derivedAuthorAgentId`), so once the server persists the
derived agent the bubble renders as the agent automatically — no client
code change needed. Adds a regression guard confirming a genuine board
comment with no derived agent is still rendered as "Board".
- **Tests:** derivation + message-building tests, including assertions
that genuine board/user comments are **not** reattributed.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run issues-service` — 94 tests pass: run-id
resolution, no-attribution on timing overlap alone (Option A), multi-run
ambiguity, same-agent multi-run, and the genuine-user guard. Exercises
the real persistence path (bulk UPDATE) against the test DB.
- `cd ui && npx vitest run issue-chat-messages` — 27 tests pass; client
no longer labels agent-derived comments "Board", and a genuine board
comment with no derived agent is not re-labeled.
- `cd server && npm run typecheck` — passes (exit 0).
- Manual: on a thread containing old agent-authored comments, the blue
"Board" bubbles render as the authoring agent; a genuine board comment
on the same thread still renders as "Board".

## Risks

- **Mis-reattributing a genuine board comment made during an agent run**
→ mitigated by the human-profile guard (only `local-board`/system
authors are eligible) and by dropping pure timing tiers (Option A): only
the lossless run-id join and the explicit run-log post marker attribute
history.
- **Backfill volume / run-log reads** → the migration backfill is
batched (5000 rows/loop) and results are persisted so reads stop
recomputing; the read-path persistence is a single bulk UPDATE rather
than per-comment round-trips. Migration adds only nullable columns (no
destructive change).
- The persistence/backfill has **not** been run against any production
database as part of opening this PR.

scotttongandPaperclip ef6061a5e6 feat: project typeahead in ⌘K command palette (#8773)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The ⌘K command palette is the primary fast-navigation surface across
tasks and projects
> - When searching, projects were ranked below tasks, so typing a
project name (e.g. "Paperclip") surfaced tasks first and buried matching
projects — often only one project was visible even when several matched
> - Users expect name-matching projects to appear at the top, like other
quick-switchers
> - This pull request promotes matching projects above tasks in the
palette (with a sensible cap) and ensures the project name is always
visible in the row
> - The benefit is faster, more predictable project navigation from ⌘K

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this, so the underlying problem is
described inline below following the [feature request
template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml).

**Subsystem affected**

UI — the ⌘K command palette (`ui/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx`).

**Problem or motivation**

When typing in the ⌘K palette, projects were ranked *below* tasks. A
query matching several projects (e.g. "paperclip") surfaced mostly tasks
above the fold and pushed matching projects to the bottom of the list,
so often only one — or zero — matching projects were visible. Users
expect name-matching projects to appear at the top, the way other
quick-switchers behave.

**Proposed solution**

Compute matching projects from the typed query client-side (exact >
prefix > substring > description > fuzzy-subsequence ranking), promote
them into a dedicated "Projects" group above the Tasks group, and cap
both groups so neither crowds the other out. Keep the project name
always visible in each row.

**Alternatives considered**

A dedicated "Projects" search mode/scope toggle — rejected as heavier
and more UI for what is really a ranking problem. A backend
search-ranking change — unnecessary since the project list is already
loaded client-side.

**Roadmap alignment**

Small, self-contained UX improvement to an existing surface; not
roadmap-level core feature work.

## What Changed

- Added a `scoreProjectMatch` + `matchedProjects` memo in
`CommandPalette` that ranks already-loaded projects against the typed
query (exact > prefix > substring > description > fuzzy subsequence,
capped at 5).
- Promoted the matched "Projects" group above the Tasks group, and
reduced the task cap from 10 → 6 when projects are promoted so neither
group crowds the other out. Empty-query preview order is unchanged.
- Fixed the project-name span so the name stays visible in the typeahead
row (the name was being starved to 0px width by a flexible description
span).

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run CommandPalette` — added test seeds
react-query project data and asserts matching projects are promoted to
the top of the palette, non-matching projects are excluded, and
selecting a promoted project navigates correctly (6/6 passing).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passes.
- Manual (screenshots below): open ⌘K, type "paperclip"; matching
projects appear at the top with names visible.

**Before** — typing "paperclip" surfaces Tasks first; matching projects
are buried below the fold:

![before](https://azure-ponder-ry48.here.now/before.png)

**After** — matching projects are promoted into a "Projects" group above
Tasks, names visible:

![after](https://azure-ponder-ry48.here.now/after.png)

## Risks

Low risk. UI-only change scoped to the command palette; no backend or
data changes. Worst case is palette ordering for project-name queries.
Ranking is pure and unit-tested; the prefix-score length penalty is
clamped so the prefix > substring > description > fuzzy invariant holds
even for pathologically long project names.

bac15ebd09 feat: task status icons & colors (#8580)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work, and task status is one of the most-scanned signals across its
whole UI.
> - The Tasks UI shows status through small coloured ring icons and
chips spread across the list, kanban, task detail, the properties
flyout, inline `@`-mentions and the breadcrumb.
> - Those ring glyphs lean heavily on colour to distinguish states,
which is hard to read for colour-blind users, and the status hues were
hard-coded in component classes rather than a single source.
> - We want color-blind-safe, distinct *shapes* per status plus a single
`--status-*` colour-token system the chips and icons share.
> - This pull request adds a unified `StatusGlyph` (one shape per
status) and the `--status-*` colour-token system, and adopts them across
every task-status surface so the new glyphs + colours render by default.
> - The benefit is a more accessible, consistent status language with
one source of truth for status hues.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This is a **feature** (no public issue filed). Following the feature
issue template:

- **Problem / motivation:** Task status is communicated mostly by colour
(ring fills/borders), which is hard to distinguish for colour-blind
users, and the status hues are duplicated across component classes with
no single source of truth. Several community PRs have nibbled at parts
of this (see related PRs below).
- **Proposed solution:** A single `StatusGlyph` component with a
distinct *shape* per status (not just colour), backed by a `--status-*`
CSS-variable colour system (base hues + AA-tuned icon hues +
`.status-chip` / `.status-fill` color-mix helpers), adopted across all
task-status surfaces.
- **Alternatives considered:** Recolouring the existing rings in place
(rejected — still colour-only, no shape differentiation).
- **Roadmap alignment:** Additive UI only; no overlap with planned core
work.

Related community PRs (partial / different approaches to the same area —
not duplicates):

- Refs #3806 — Show issue ref and status icon in breadcrumbs and
properties
- Refs #1760 — Improve design of cancelled task status icon
- Refs #1856 — a11y title/aria-label on status and priority icons

## What Changed

- **Colour token system:** `--status-agent-*` / `--status-task-*` base
hues, AA-tuned `--status-task-icon-*` hues (light + dark), and
`.status-chip` / `.status-fill` color-mix helpers in `index.css`;
matching status→CSS-var maps in `status-colors.ts`.
- **`StatusGlyph`** — one `viewBox="0 0 24 24"` glyph per status with
distinct, color-blind-safe shapes (dashed ring, open ring, half-fill,
ring+dot, disc+check, ring+bar, ring+slash, and `in_queue` = the blocked
shape recoloured blue). Sizes `sm`/`md`/`lg`.
- **Adoption (renders by default)** across `StatusIcon`, `StatusBadge`
(agent + issue chips), `MarkdownBody` inline mentions, `IssueRow`,
`IssuesList`, `IssueProperties`, `BreadcrumbBar` + `BreadcrumbContext`,
and the task-detail header/breadcrumb.
- **Tests** for `StatusGlyph`, `StatusIcon`, `StatusBadge`, `IssueRow`,
`IssuesList`, `MarkdownBody` lock the rendered behaviour.

Scope notes: no experimental flag and no Theme Editor surfaces. The
generic `StatusBadge` (runs/goals/approvals) is unchanged.
Project-status recolour is deferred (no in-scope consumer).

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared build` — green (tsc).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — green (tsc + vite).
- Targeted unit tests green: `StatusGlyph`, `StatusIcon`, `StatusBadge`,
`IssueRow`, `IssuesList`, `MarkdownBody`, plus consumer suites that
render these (`IssueProperties`, `IssueDetail`, `Search`,
`IssueChatThread`, `IssueFiltersPopover`, `InterruptHandoffViews`) — all
passing.
- Remaining: interactive light + dark visual confirmation across list /
kanban / detail / properties / inline mentions / breadcrumb. The glyph
shapes + AA-tuned hues were previously QA'd on the originating feature
branch.

## Risks

Low risk. Additive UI: a new component + CSS tokens, adopted at existing
status call sites. The generic `StatusBadge` and all non-status UI are
untouched; no schema/migration changes. Behaviour is exercised by unit +
consumer test suites.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`), extended thinking, with tool use /
code execution (file edits, local builds + vitest).

6f9801a46b feat(ui): NUX rework behind enableConferenceRoomChat experimental flag — capsule onboarding, conference-room chat, unified composer (#8000)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The first-run experience (onboarding wizard) and the chat surfaces
(conference-room/board chat, task threads, composers) are the product's
front door — they decide whether a new operator understands "hire
agents, give them work, review results" in the first five minutes
> - Today those surfaces feel ticket-y and form-like: the wizard is a
static multi-step form that ends in an anticlimactic "Launch" screen,
the task composer and board chat behave differently from each other, and
agent-feed issue quicklooks misbehave (multiple flyouts open at once,
cards jump on hover)
> - We wanted to iterate toward a conversational, team-centric NUX — but
without risking the workflows of everyone already running Paperclip
> - This PR reworks the NUX behind a new default-OFF
`enableConferenceRoomChat` experimental flag: a capsule-motif onboarding
wizard that builds your team as you answer, a conference-room chat
surface, one shared ChatComposer across surfaces, brand-accurate status
chips, and feed-quicklook fixes — with the pre-existing UI
fork-and-frozen as `*Classic` components that flag-OFF users keep
> - The benefit is a complete, testable modern NUX that anyone can opt
into from Settings → Experimental, with zero default behavior change and
a clean path to either graduate or drop the experiment

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No pre-existing GitHub issue — feature description per
`feature_request.yml`:

- **Problem / motivation:** Paperclip's onboarding wizard and chat
surfaces grew up as separate ticket-centric forms. New users get a
form-filling experience rather than the feeling of standing up a team;
the board chat and task threads use different composers with different
affordances; the agent feed's issue quicklook can stack multiple
popovers and shifts cards on hover.
- **Proposed solution:** A coherent NUX experiment behind one
experimental flag (`enableConferenceRoomChat`, Settings → Experimental,
default OFF): capsule onboarding wizard with an evolving team capsule,
conference-room chat, unified `ChatComposer`, team-centric copy, brand
status chips, quicklook single-flight fix. Flag-OFF users get the exact
pre-experiment UI via frozen `*Classic` forks, verified by an on/off
parity test matrix.
- **Alternatives considered:** (a) incremental unflagged restyling —
rejected: the changes interlock across surfaces and would drip risk into
every release; (b) a separate app shell / route for the new NUX —
rejected: too much divergence, the flag + classic-fork pattern keeps the
diff reviewable and reversible.
- **Roadmap alignment:** `ROADMAP.md` lists **CEO Chat** ("a
lighter-weight way to talk to leadership agents... should still resolve
to real work objects"). This experiment is groundwork in that direction
(conference-room chat resolves to issues/tasks via the same composer
used in task threads) and does not change the core task-and-comments
model.

Related PRs found in the dedup search (same area, none duplicate this
work — they target the classic wizard, which this PR intentionally
leaves intact and mergeable):

- #5385 — Coach-driven onboarding: conversational entry +
agent-companies package import
- #5378 — Onboarding wizard: reusable adapter picker + probe card
- #6636 — ui(onboarding): friendly error surface + retry for the wizard
- #7005 — fix(onboarding): explicitly await first-task wake
- #2616 — fix: restore workspace directory config in onboarding wizard

## What Changed

- **Experimental flag plumbing** — `enableConferenceRoomChat` in shared
types/validators, server instance-settings service + API, Settings →
Experimental card with explicit enable/disable copy
- **Onboarding wizard** — classic wizard forked and frozen
(`OnboardingWizardClassic`); flag-ON variant is a 5-step capsule wizard
with a persistent evolving `AgentCapsule` (gradient/glow motif),
team-centric reframed copy, and a typing-dots intro (hardened with
fake-timer tests)
- **Conference-room chat** — flag-ON board-chat surface with agent
bubble name/icon headers and copy/vote/timestamp action rows
(`AgentBubbleActionRow`)
- **Unified composer** — shared `ChatComposer` adopted across surfaces;
translucent surface + scroll-mask removal; "Agent mode"/"Plan mode"
relabels; no-assignee confirmation `AlertDialog` (new
`ui/alert-dialog.tsx` primitive); `@task` reference picker +
linkification in mentions
- **Agent feed** — single-flight issue-quicklook store (one popover at a
time), flyouts open to the left, removed hover translate-y jitter
- **Status chips** — brand-accurate task status chips behind the flag
(light/dark, 1px borders per paperclip.ing/brand)
- **Tests** — flag on/off parity matrix across IssueDetail,
NewIssueDialog, Sidebar, wizard, gate components; component tests for
all new pieces
- **Merge with `master`** — one conflict in
`ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`, resolved by keeping master's
new `AssigneeChip`/`HandoffWakeRow`/`RunStatusBadge` components inside
the flag-gated metadata-row chrome (details in commit `21a5642a`);
post-merge fixes: vitest 4 mock typing in `MarkdownEditor.test.tsx`,
flag hook made safe for provider-less mounts (master's new isolated
component tests)
- **Branch hygiene** — internal design wireframes/mockups stripped
before the PR (they live in the Paperclip issue threads)
- No user-facing documentation changes required: the flag is
intentionally experimental and self-described in the Settings card; no
existing docs reference the affected surfaces

## Verification

- `pnpm run typecheck` — green across the workspace (ui, server, shared,
plugins)
- Full UI suite (`vitest run` in `ui/`, clean worktree at this HEAD):
**1593/1595 passing, 223/224 files** — the 2 remaining failures are in
`src/components/artifacts/ArtifactCard.test.tsx` and **fail identically
on pristine `origin/master`** (pre-existing upstream, unrelated to this
branch)
- Full server suite (`vitest run` in `server/`, same clean worktree):
results in PR checks; flag plumbing covered by instance-settings tests
- Targeted post-merge resolution check: `IssueChatThread`,
`IssueChatThreadSystemNotice`, `IssueDetail`, `Sidebar`,
`ConferenceRoomChatGate`, `OnboardingWizardVariant`, `NewIssueDialog`,
`InstanceExperimentalSettings`, `MarkdownEditor` — 172/172 passing
- Manual walkthrough: flag OFF (default) → onboarding wizard, task
thread, board chat, composer all render the classic UI; flag ON via
Settings → Experimental → capsule wizard, conference-room chat, unified
composer, status chips active
- Screenshots: see below

**Flag on/off screenshots** (committed on this branch under

Capsule onboarding wizard walkthrough screenshots (flag ON) are attached
to the Paperclip design/implementation threads; the wizard requires a
fresh instance so it is captured via the e2e harness
(`tests/e2e/nux-phase4-screenshots.spec.ts`).


## Risks

- **Large surface, but gated:** all new behavior sits behind
`enableConferenceRoomChat`, default OFF; flag-OFF rendering is locked by
frozen `*Classic` forks plus an on/off parity test suite
- **Classic forks are frozen at the fork point (`e3aada1d`):** master
features added to the live thread component after that point (assignee
handoff chips, run status badge, composer mention coach) render in the
flag-ON path; the flag-OFF task thread keeps the fork-point behavior
until the experiment graduates (forks deleted) or is dropped (forks
restored as canonical). Called out for reviewer attention.
- **Merge-conflict resolution in `IssueChatThread.tsx`** (commit
`21a5642a`) deserves reviewer eyes: master's new handoff/run-status
components were kept; the base toast-style no-assignee flow remains
replaced by the AlertDialog flow introduced on this branch
- Schema/server changes are additive (one optional boolean instance
setting); no migrations of existing data

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic) via Claude Code running in the Paperclip agent
harness (agent: ClaudeCoder)
- Branch implemented across multiple agent sessions on Claude Opus-class
models with extended thinking + tool use (file edits, shell, Playwright
screenshots); merge/PR session model ID as reported by the harness:
`claude-fable-5` (Claude Code CLI)
- All code was agent-authored and board-reviewed through Paperclip issue
threads (plans, wireframes, confirmations) before merging

> - There was no in-product way for users to send feedback or report
issues — they had to find an external channel
> - We want a low-friction, always-visible entry point for feedback, and
a clean URL we can re-point later without shipping app changes
> - This pull request adds a **Feedback** item (Megaphone icon) to the
account flyout, between Documentation and the theme toggle, that opens
`https://paperclip.ing/feedback` in a new tab
> - `paperclip.ing/feedback` is a stable indirection (added to the
marketing site) that currently 302-redirects to a Google Form, so the
destination can be swapped for a richer solution later with no app
release
> - The benefit is a one-click feedback path for users and a
future-proof link the team controls

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists (tracked internally as Paperclip PAP-107).
Describing the underlying request inline as a feature, per
CONTRIBUTING.md path (B):

### Problem or motivation

Users have no in-app affordance to give feedback or report issues; that
friction loses signal we'd otherwise act on.

### Proposed solution

Add a Feedback item to the account flyout (Megaphone icon, between
Documentation and the theme toggle) that opens a stable
`paperclip.ing/feedback` URL in a new tab. That URL redirects to a
Google Form for now, keeping the client decoupled from the destination.

### Alternatives considered

Linking the Google Form directly from the app — rejected because it
bakes a throwaway URL into the client; the `/feedback` indirection keeps
the link clean and swappable.

### Roadmap alignment

Small, self-contained UX addition; no overlap with planned core work
(checked ROADMAP.md). The `/feedback` redirect lives in the separate
`paperclip-website` repo (Astro site on Cloudflare Pages), commit
`f65b566`. No duplicate/related PRs found in this repo (searched
feedback/flyout/menu).

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.tsx`: import `Megaphone` from
`lucide-react`; add `FEEDBACK_URL = "https://paperclip.ing/feedback"`
const next to `DOCS_URL`; insert a `Feedback` `MenuAction` between
Documentation and the theme toggle using the `external` prop so it opens
in a new tab (`target="_blank"`, `rel="noreferrer"`) and closes the
popover on click.
- `ui/src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.test.tsx`: assert the Feedback
item renders with the correct `href`, opens in a new tab, and is ordered
after Documentation and before the theme toggle.
- (Separate repo, for context) `paperclip-website` `public/_redirects`:
`/feedback` → 302 → the feedback Google Form.

## Verification

- **Unit tests:** `SidebarAccountMenu` tests pass (item renders, correct
`href`, `target="_blank"`, ordering). Run: `cd ui && npm test --
SidebarAccountMenu`.
- **Manual / canary:** The board previewed the canary build of the menu
item and accepted it. Clicking **Feedback** opens a new tab to
`paperclip.ing/feedback`.
- **Redirect:** After the Cloudflare Pages deploy propagates, `curl -sI
https://paperclip.ing/feedback` returns the Google Form in the
`Location` header.

_Screenshots:_ UI change was validated via the accepted canary preview;
the item reuses the existing `MenuAction` styling, so it visually
matches the Documentation/theme rows.

## Risks

- **Low risk.** Additive, self-contained UI change with no new state or
API calls. The only external dependency is the `paperclip.ing/feedback`
redirect (separate repo, already deployed); if it were missing the link
would 404, but it is in place. No migrations, no breaking changes.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.

eaef47f4c7 Information Architecture + project/agent visual refresh (experimental) (#7543)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is the control surface for issues, projects, agents,
goals, workspaces, and operator settings.
> - The existing navigation and list surfaces make several
high-frequency workflows feel harder to scan than they should,
especially around projects and agents.
> - The product direction is to improve those surfaces without breaking
the existing route model or forcing a new IA on every operator at once.
> - This pull request now keeps the dependent IA, project identity, and
agent-list visual refresh work together while the Issue-to-Task copy
migration is split into #7651.
> - The benefit is a clearer left nav, better project identity, denser
agent/project list rows, and brand-aligned status treatment while
preserving the classic default experience behind a flag.

## What Changed

- Adds `enableStreamlinedLeftNavigation`, defaulting off, and gates
sidebar presentation so classic navigation remains the default.
- Adds project icon persistence, validation, portability, picker UI, and
`ProjectTile` rendering while defaulting new projects to neutral gray.
- Adds projects-list task-count and budget summary data with focused
server/shared/UI coverage.
- Refreshes agent list rows, row actions, active/recent sidebar
behavior, and status capsule/chip styling for the approved brand state
system.
- Removes the placeholder Conference room and Artifacts nav/routes from
the finalized experimental nav direction.
- Removes `pnpm-lock.yaml` and the Issue-to-Task copy migration from
this PR diff; the copy migration now lives in #7651.

## Verification

- Existing branch verification from the authored commits: UI typecheck,
targeted unit tests, and light/dark visual checks for `/agents`, agent
detail, and design-guide status states.
- Maintainer cleanup verification on `75e34e5`: `git diff --check
origin/master...HEAD` passed, the `design/` diff is empty, and the PR
diff is 61 files, below Greptile's 100-file review limit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx` passed: 1 file, 8 tests.
- CI and Greptile should rerun on the latest push.

## Risks

- Broad UI surface area: the experimental flag keeps the classic nav
default, but changed shared components such as `EntityRow`,
`ProjectTile`, and agent status badges could affect multiple pages.
- Database migration: `projects.icon` is additive and nullable, but
migration ordering and portability import/export must stay aligned.
- The Issue-to-Task copy migration is now separated into #7651, so
reviewers should evaluate this PR as IA/project/agent presentation work
only.
- Visual regressions are possible across smaller widths because the PR
intentionally changes dense list-row layouts.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.8 assisted the original feature commits.
Paperclip-Paperclip agents assisted some planning/design commits. Codex
/ GPT-5-class coding agent with shell, GitHub CLI, and repository access
performed this PR-readiness cleanup and split.
