Devin Foley 7b91fe9ea7 Hide host-path and execution-engine surfaces in managed-sandbox-only mode (#12293)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - An instance can turn on the `enableManagedSandboxOnly` feature,
which hides the local environment and runs every agent in the
platform-managed environment
> - That feature already gated the environment pickers, the onboarding
wizard, and the server-side run selection, but many other screens still
showed absolute paths on the execution host and still let the user pick
an execution engine
> - On such an instance those controls name a filesystem the user cannot
reach; a path written there is stored and then ignored, which reads as a
broken control
> - This pull request hides the remaining host-path and execution-engine
surfaces behind the same feature, adds a server rule that refuses a
project-workspace path write while the feature is on, and closes a
related route gap in the isolated-workspace pages
> - The benefit is that a managed instance shows no host path and no
folder picker anywhere, and a write that carries a path now fails with a
clear message instead of being silently discarded

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. The description below follows
`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml`.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The `enableManagedSandboxOnly` instance feature, and the UI surfaces
that show
a host filesystem path: project properties, the new-project dialog, the
project
workspace and execution workspace detail pages, the workspace and task
cards,
plugin local folders, and the agent configuration form with its
per-adapter
fields. It also improves route gating for `enableIsolatedWorkspaces`.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting (`ui/` and `server/`).

**Current behavior**

When `enableManagedSandboxOnly` is on, the local environment disappears
from the
environment pickers and the server refuses to run an agent on the local
host.
Everything else stays visible. A user still sees:

- the project "Local folder" row, its absolute path, and the
Set/Change/Clear buttons
- the "Local folder" field and its "Choose" folder picker in the
new-project dialog
- the "Local path" field and fact row on a project workspace
- the "Paths" and "Lifecycle commands" groups on an execution workspace
- the working directory on workspace cards, task properties, and runtime
service rows
- the plugin "Local folders" section
- "Working directory (deprecated)", "Command", "Execution engine",
"ACP server command", "ACP state directory", and "Agent instructions
file" in
  the agent configuration form

A path typed into any of these names a filesystem no agent on the
instance uses.
The project workspace API also accepts a `cwd` write and stores it.

Separately, `/workspaces`, `/execution-workspaces/*`, and
`/projects/:projectId/workspaces/:workspaceId` render for anyone who
types or
bookmarks the URL, even with `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` off. Only the
sidebar
entry reads that flag.

**Proposed behavior**

With `enableManagedSandboxOnly` on, none of those surfaces render. A
project
whose codebase came from a managed checkout keeps its one-line
"Paperclip-managed folder." label and shows no path. The non-path
controls stay:
repo URL, branch, service URL, port, command output, ACP session mode,
ACP
non-interactive permissions, Codex fast mode, and the sandbox toggles.

The project-workspace create and patch routes, and the nested workspace
on
project create, answer `422` with
"This instance runs agents only in the platform-managed environment;
local
folders are not configurable." when the payload carries a non-null
`cwd`.
A `cwd: null` write still passes, so an instance that just turned the
feature on
can clear a stale path.

With `enableIsolatedWorkspaces` off, the three workspace route groups
redirect to
the dashboard.

**Reason and benefit**

A control that cannot do anything is worse than a missing control: the
user fills
it in, saves, and gets no error and no effect. The server rule turns
that silent
no-op into a clear refusal. The route gate stops a feature that an
instance has
turned off from staying reachable by URL, which is the same standard the
Cases,
Pipelines, and hidden-settings pages already meet.

**Breaking changes**

None for a default instance: both flags are off by default for
self-hosted and
managed instances, so nothing changes unless an operator turns them on.
Stored
`adapterConfig` values are never cleared, so turning the feature off
restores
every previous value.

## What Changed

- Add `ui/src/hooks/useManagedSandboxOnly.ts`, modelled on
`useAppsEnabled`, for
components that do not already read the experimental settings. It
exposes
`hideHostPaths`, which fails closed while the settings query is in
flight, so
a cold cache never flashes a host path before the policy resolves.
Components
that keep their own settings read compute the same gate from
`isFetched`.
- Add `managedSandboxOnly` to `AdapterConfigFieldsProps` and populate it
where
`AgentConfigForm` builds the adapter field props. Resolve the effective
instructions-file gate once as `hideInstructionsFile || hideHostPaths`,
so
  every adapter hides that path field with no per-adapter edit.
- Hide under the flag: the project "Local folder" block and its
absolute-path
  edit panel (a managed checkout keeps its label, without the path); the
new-project "Local folder" field; the project-workspace "Local path"
field and
fact row; the execution-workspace "Paths" and "Lifecycle commands"
groups; the
working directory on the workspace summary card, the task workspace
card, the
task properties "Folder" row, and the runtime service rows; the plugin
"Local
folders" section; "Working directory (deprecated)" and "Command" in the
agent
form; and the per-adapter "Execution engine", "ACP server command", and
"ACP state directory" for `claude_local`, `codex_local`, and
`gemini_local`.
- Drop two working-directory fallbacks that had no gate to read: the
close-workspace
dialog now falls back to "No additional details", and the reuse-existing
  workspace label and picker subtitle fall back to a neutral phrase.
- Refuse a non-null `cwd` with `422` on `POST /projects/:id/workspaces`,
`PATCH /projects/:id/workspaces/:workspaceId`, and the nested workspace
on
  `POST /companies/:companyId/projects`, following the
  `assertNoAgentHostWorkspaceCommandMutation` precedent on those routes.
- Add `IsolatedWorkspacesRouteGate` and wrap the `/workspaces`,
`/execution-workspaces/*`, and
`/projects/:projectId/workspaces/:workspaceId`
  routes with it.
- Leave the SSH "Remote workspace path" and the workspace file browser
alone,
  with a comment explaining why.

## Verification

Automated:

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run` — 479 of 480 files
pass
(4455 of 4456 tests). The one failure is `OnboardingWizard.test.tsx >
renders
instead of throwing when the browser denies storage access`, which also
fails
  on `origin/master` and is unrelated to this change.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run project workspace
instance-settings`
— 45 of 50 files pass. Four files fail on macOS for reasons unrelated to
this
  change: `workspace-instance-cleanup`, `workspace-runtime`,
  `execution-workspace-runtime-control-conflict`, and
  `workspace-runtime-exposure` compare `/var/...` against the resolved
`/private/var/...` or bind real ports. The same files fail on a clean
`master`
  checkout on the same machine.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `tsc --noEmit` in `server/` (after
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps`). The package
`typecheck` script also builds the Rust runner, which needs `cargo`; it
is not
  installed on the machine that ran this.

New and extended tests:

- `ui/src/adapters/managed-sandbox-only-config-fields.test.tsx` — the
three
adapters drop the execution engine, the ACP paths, the instructions-file
path,
and every "Choose" button when the flag is on, and keep the non-path
controls.
- `ui/src/components/AgentConfigForm.render.test.tsx` — flag-on and
flag-off
renders for the working directory, the command, the engine, the ACP
paths, and
  the resolved adapter field props.
- `ui/src/components/ProjectProperties.managed-sandbox.test.tsx`,
  `ui/src/components/NewProjectDialog.managed-sandbox.test.tsx`,
  `ui/src/pages/ProjectWorkspaceDetail.test.tsx`,
  `ui/src/components/ProjectWorkspaceSummaryCard.test.tsx`,
  `ui/src/components/WorkspaceRuntimeControls.test.tsx`.
- `ui/src/components/IsolatedWorkspacesRouteGate.test.tsx` — redirect
when off,
  render when on, and render nothing while the flag query is in flight.
- "Still loading" cases for the project properties, the new-project
dialog, the
workspace summary card, the runtime service rows, and the agent
configuration
form, each asserting that no host path renders before the policy
resolves.
-
`server/src/__tests__/project-workspace-managed-sandbox-routes.test.ts`
— the
  `422` on all three write paths, the `cwd: null` pass-through, and the
  flag-off pass-through.

Manual check to reproduce: turn on Managed Environment Only in instance
experimental settings, then open a project, the new-project dialog, an
agent's
configuration, and a workspace page. No path, folder icon, or "Choose"
button
appears. Turn the setting off and each control returns with its stored
value.

No documentation change was needed. The operator-facing text for both
settings
lives in the feature catalog entry, which already states the contract
this pull
request now enforces across the UI.

## Risks

- Low. Both flags default to off, so a default instance is unchanged.
- The hidden fields are presentation only. No stored `adapterConfig`
value is
cleared, because an import carries adapter configuration written on
another
instance and clearing it would break that flow. Turning the setting off
shows
  every previous value again.
- The `422` is the one behavior change for an API caller, and only while
the
setting is on. `cwd: null` still passes so a stale path can be cleared.
- The route gate renders nothing until the flag query settles, so an
instance
with isolated workspaces on never flashes a redirect. An instance with
the
  feature off now redirects a bookmarked workspace URL to the dashboard.
- Every host-path guard fails closed while the settings query is in
flight, so a
default instance shows those controls a moment later than before on a
cold
load. That is the safe direction: the alternative flashes a path a
managed
  instance must never show.
- Two path surfaces stay on purpose, each with a comment: the SSH
"Remote
workspace path" is a path on the user's own remote host, and the
workspace file
browser shows workspace-relative paths. The instance Adapters page also
keeps
its "Local path" install option, since that page is an instance-admin
surface
the hosting operator can already hide through the hidden-settings
mechanism.

DottaandPaperclip 50ae8fc657 [codex] Improve reusable workspace selector search (#8597)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The new issue dialog lets operators create follow-up tasks and
optionally reuse an existing execution workspace
> - Reusing a workspace depends on a searchable selector that can
include workspace names, branches, and local paths
> - The selector previously treated all matched text equally, so hidden
path text could outrank the visible workspace label and unrelated fuzzy
letter matches could leak into results
> - The reusable workspace popover also needed to stay inside the modal
so scrolling and layering behave like the rest of the dialog
> - This pull request improves the shared searchable select scoring and
applies it to reusable execution workspace choices
> - The benefit is a more predictable workspace reuse flow when an
operator searches by branch, task name, or workspace label

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue found for this selector bug.

### Pre-submission checklist

- [x] I have searched existing open and closed issues and this is not a
duplicate.
- [x] I am on the latest released version of Paperclip (or can reproduce
on `master`).
- [x] I have confirmed the error originates in Paperclip itself — not in
my agent adapter, API provider, or local configuration.

### What happened?

Workspace searches could rank hidden path matches ahead of direct
visible label matches, and broad fuzzy matching could match letters
spread across unrelated workspace metadata.

### Expected behavior

Direct label/name matches should sort ahead of weaker hidden metadata
matches, and fuzzy matching should stay constrained enough to avoid
unrelated workspace results.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open the new issue dialog.
2. Choose reuse existing execution workspace.
3. Search for a term that appears in one workspace label and only in
another workspace path.
4. Observe that the path-only match can rank ahead of the direct visible
label match.

### Paperclip version or commit

Current `master` before this change.

### Deployment mode

Local dev (`pnpm dev`).

### Installation method

Built from source (`pnpm dev` / `pnpm build`).

### Agent adapter(s) involved

- [x] Not adapter-specific (core bug)

### Database mode

Not database-related.

### Access context

Board (human operator).

### Node.js version

Not version-specific.

### Operating system

Not OS-specific.

### Relevant logs or output

No logs; this is client-side selector behavior.

### Relevant config (if applicable)

None.

### Additional context

This PR also keeps the reusable workspace selector popover inside the
modal and contains command-list scroll events to keep the dialog
interaction stable.

### Privacy checklist

- [x] I have reviewed all pasted output for PII (usernames, file paths,
API keys, tokens, company names) and redacted where necessary.

## What Changed

- Added fuzzy scoring helpers for searchable text fields, including
field weights for visible labels versus secondary search metadata.
- Updated `SearchableSelect` to sort filtered results by score while
preserving original order for ties and custom filters.
- Updated reusable execution workspace matching to prefer visible
labels, then descriptions, then hidden search text.
- Kept the reusable workspace selector popover inside the new issue
modal and contained wheel/touch scrolling in the command list.
- Added unit/component coverage for selector ranking, reusable workspace
matching, modal popover containment, and scroll containment classes.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/searchable-select.ts
ui/src/lib/reusable-execution-workspaces.test.ts
ui/src/components/SearchableSelect.test.tsx
ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`

## Risks

Low risk. The change is scoped to client-side searchable selector
ranking and modal popover behavior. The main behavior shift is that
searches are intentionally less permissive for unrelated fuzzy letter
spreads, which should reduce noisy results but could hide a result
someone previously reached through very loose matching.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent with repository file access,
shell/tool execution, and medium reasoning effort. Exact hosted model
build and context window were not surfaced in this environment.

DottaandPaperclip 2d72292ad6 [codex] Add workspace routine run tab (#4958)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents through reusable execution
workspaces and routines
> - Operators need a fast way to run workspace-aware routines against a
specific execution workspace
> - The existing workspace detail surface showed configuration, runtime
logs, and linked issues, but not routines that depend on workspace
variables
> - Routine runs also needed to prefill the selected execution workspace
so branch variables resolve correctly
> - This pull request adds a workspace routines tab and prefilled
routine-run dialog support
> - The benefit is a tighter workflow for rerunning reviews, smoke
checks, and other workspace-specific routines

## What Changed

- Added an execution workspace `Routines` tab and company-prefixed
routes.
- Listed routines that declare or reference workspace-specific
variables.
- Added `Run now` support that preselects the current execution
workspace in `RoutineRunVariablesDialog`.
- Centralized reusable execution workspace ordering/deduplication for
issue creation and workspace cards.
- Added focused UI helper and dialog regression tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/reusable-execution-workspaces.test.ts
ui/src/lib/workspace-routines.test.ts
ui/src/components/RoutineRunVariablesDialog.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/company-routes.test.ts`
- Screenshots were not captured in this PR split; the visible flow is
covered by focused component/helper tests and should get browser QA in
the follow-up issue.

## Risks

- Medium risk: this adds a new workspace detail tab and routine-run
path. It is isolated to workspace-scoped routines and uses existing
routine run APIs.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent, tool use and local command
execution. Exact context window was not exposed in the runtime.
