Devin FoleyandPaperclip 35b3345033 fix(server): support issue monitor deadlines in idle sleep reports (#16325)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for companies and AI agents.
> - Hosted workspaces can sleep when their required work has a safe wake
path.
> - The current idle check treats every open issue as background work.
> - Backlog, unassigned and human-waiting records can therefore keep an
idle process running.
> - Future automated monitors still need their saved check time and
execution claims.
> - This PR adds a signed host capability for passive issues and
verified monitor deadlines.
> - The host can save one alarm for the earliest required routine or
monitor time.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A quiet workspace with a backlog or unassigned todo issue reports
background work as present. A future issue monitor also prevents sleep
even when the host can save a durable wake alarm.

**Expected behavior**

Proven passive records can sleep. A validated future monitor can sleep
only after the host saves its alarm and validates the same owned report.
Active, unknown and unresolved work stays awake.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a quiet workspace with an unassigned todo issue and no other
work.
2. Acquire a bounded, signed Cloud idle hold.
3. Request the routine-only safety report with `scheduledWake=1`. The
issue blocks sleep.
4. Request the new capability with `scheduledWake=2`. A passive issue
can now report no work.
5. Add a valid future monitor to an assigned in-progress issue. The
second capability returns its saved deadline for host acknowledgement.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `c30fb7d2b75ea30f72d63656b2a7cfff7fe0929d`.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud-managed authenticated instance. Local scheduling remains in the
existing scheduler.

Related protocol:
[#16215](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16215). Open
scheduler and monitor PRs were checked for overlap. This change leaves
monitor admission, dispatch and quota recovery with their existing
owners. The roadmap already includes scheduled work; this is a focused
idle-safety extension.

## What Changed

- Add signed scheduling capability `2`; capability `1` retains the
routine-only rules.
- Allow untouched onboarding prompts with idle assignees to sleep using
the same awaiting-user predicate as recovery; typing, answering the
opening card or a prior run removes the exemption.
- Inspect passive issue state and future monitors in the same bounded,
read-only snapshot as other work.
- Check ownership, company scope, known states, claims, policy/deadline
agreement, attempts, timeout and dependency repair.
- Combine routine and monitor deadlines into a known proof kind and
catalog generation.
- Preserve other sleep blockers, including task watchdogs,
conversations, live runs, external credentials and recovery.
- Update the protected route, OpenAPI contract, documentation and
PostgreSQL regression tests.

## Verification

- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. Final server typecheck and
full build passed after the final guards.
- Initial safety, scheduling, protected-route and control-authentication
checks: 326 tests passed.
- Final safety and heartbeat scheduling checks: 253 tests passed.
Includes reporting a future deadline, restoring scheduling from
PostgreSQL and one dispatch across competing schedulers.
- Local general server checks: 20,260 passed; UI: 8,460 passed; CLI: 534
passed, including isolated reruns of two embedded-PostgreSQL startup
failures. All remaining workspace groups and 158 serialized suites
passed. The suite was completed in groups after the isolated
infrastructure retries; the final onboarding change also passed the
focused 674-test recovery/safety run. Earlier unchanged Git fixtures
failed under Xcode's system `init.defaultBranch=main`, reproduced on the
clean base and passed with a test-scoped fixture default; no source or
machine configuration was changed.
- Rebased issue, protected-route and scheduler checks: 115 tests passed;
server typecheck passed.
- The expanded change passed 674 idle-safety, scheduling and recovery
regression tests, including six onboarding admission/invalidation cases.
Final server typecheck and build passed.
- Current-head Apex is 5/5 with no unresolved threads. All 54
current-head checks passed, with two expected skips. Four jobs were
interrupted by runner shutdowns or lost communication on their first
attempts; their targeted reruns passed. Live hosting qualification
awaits the verified master release and matching host capability.

## Risks

This intentionally covers a limited set of passive states and valid
future monitors. Assigned active tasks without a proved waiting path,
unknown states, claimed monitors and quota recovery still block sleep.
It does not make every open issue safe to sleep.

A matching host must recognize `routines_and_issue_monitors`,
acknowledge the durable alarm and revalidate the exact owner, generation
and deadline before stopping. The report alone grants no stop authority.
Older hosts retain capability `1`. Independent database writers remain
outside the admission contract. Existing scheduler claims and execution
authority are unchanged. No schema migration is required.

Roll back host negotiation to capability `1` to restore conservative
admission, while retaining alarm delivery until outstanding alarms have
been handled.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with repository editing, command execution and
GitHub tools. The exact deployment ID and context-window metadata are
not exposed in this session.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 9b624a110e fix: checkpoint database backups before idle sleep (#15629)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates agent work and preserves company state.
> - Hosted instances can stop compute when admission and all work
sources are quiet.
> - The periodic database backup timer currently blocks every automatic
sleep.
> - Disabling backups would remove recovery points.
> - This change offers an explicit final-backup checkpoint before sleep.
> - A verified archive and restart marker preserve recovery while
compute is stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An otherwise idle instance with automatic backups enabled always reports
background work. Operators cannot reclaim idle compute without disabling
those backups. The work inventory also queries the database before
checking known local blockers.

**Expected behavior**

An operator can enable checkpoint mode. The server may authorize sleep
only after all other work is quiet and a fresh backup is verified under
the same owned hold. Backups resume on restart with the existing
retention policy.

**Steps to reproduce**

Acquire a bounded idle drain on an instance with no application work and
automatic backups enabled. Read its owned idle safety report. It reports
present even when all other work is clear. With this change and
`PAPERCLIP_DB_BACKUP_IDLE_CHECKPOINT_ENABLED=1`, a successful final
backup can permit sleep; backup failures still refuse it.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from master at 4265cb3a2b.

**Deployment mode**

Hosted single-process instances with persistent backup storage and
serialized sleep/wake operations.

Searched open backup and sleep PRs and issues. Related: #15522 and
#15599 establish owned idle holds and plugin drains. #15358 proposes
general backup health/retention validation; this change verifies only
opted-in sleep checkpoints and their restart catch-up.

## What Changed

- Add an off-by-default checkpoint flag. Keep automatic backups enabled.
- Reject known local blockers before database work.
- Finish a new backup during each owned safety check, including final
revalidation.
- Verify the complete gzip archive and sync its file and directory
before pruning older recovery points.
- Use unique checkpoint filenames so repeated checks cannot replace an
earlier verified archive.
- Keep backup work counted through dump, validation and persistence.
Changed owners, expired holds, concurrent work and errors refuse sleep.
- Persist a restart marker before the dump. Attempt a fresh backup on
restart before idle eligibility, then resume the normal timer. Only a
verified fresh backup clears the marker.
- Restrict managed checkpoint reads to verified Cloud control actors.
Tenant instance-admin elevation does not grant backup authority.
- Keep archive verification outside engine fallback so failures retain
their original cause.
- Document that recurring duplicate archives pause while asleep. The
final checkpoint and historical archives remain on persistent storage;
retention does not prune while asleep.

## Verification

- Focused idle, spool, backup and route checks: 137 tests passed,
including restoration into a separate PostgreSQL database.
- Backup library and checkpoint tests: 15 passed, including rejection
before historical backups can be pruned.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Follow-up server
typecheck and database build cover the verification callback.
- Review follow-up: 51 backup/restore/startup tests, 122 route/safety
tests, 32 signed-control tests, and server typecheck passed. Startup
cases exercise both flag states and retry after failure. The final
test-cleanup adjustment passes all 35 startup tests.
- The full local run hit four ancestor-directory skill-fixture failures
and one tool-route failure. All five passed from an isolated checkout at
949210 (3 targeted chat/tool checks and the complete 39-test email
suite). The redundant local run was stopped after final-head hosted CI
passed. No full local pass is claimed.
- Added-line secret/private-reference review and `git diff --check`
passed.
- [Final-head hosted
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37853380365)
passed, including typecheck, build, all general and serialized test
shards, all eight E2E shards and the canary dry run. Apex is 5/5 on
5b1de388ef, with no new findings and all review threads resolved. The
branch is conflict-free. Live staging activation awaits merge and a
canonical image; no production configuration or deployment changed.

## Risks

- The flag defaults off. This is for a single process whose host
controls every writer and preserves its backup volume across sleep.
Independent database writers require a different backup owner.
- Safety reads perform a backup only after a valid owned drain and all
other checks pass. Slow backups can outlive the caller timeout; they
remain counted until their work settles and cannot authorize sleep after
hold expiry.
- Initial and final reads each take a fresh backup. Hosts must allow
sufficient request time while retaining shutdown headroom.
- Retention settings are unchanged. Sleeping instances stop producing
duplicate hourly archives and retain their last checkpoint. Filesystem
data, encryption keys and off-provider disaster recovery remain separate
responsibilities.
- No schema migration. Disable the checkpoint flag to restore the
blanket backup blocker; automatic backups and an existing restart marker
remain active.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Used reasoning, repository inspection, code editing
and command execution. The runtime did not expose an exact model
revision or context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 3d1d5294d9 Drain idle plugin workers before automatic sleep (#15599)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs autonomous work through agents, schedules, and
plugins.
> - Automatic idle sleep must preserve accepted work and unfinished
cleanup.
> - Every enabled plugin currently blocks sleep, including unused
providers.
> - An enabled flag or package version cannot prove that a worker is
idle.
> - This change adds a live worker drain under the existing owned hold.
> - Idle workers can allow sleep while unknown work stays protected.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15522. Related: #15391 adds plugin readiness for agent admission;
this change concerns instance sleep and does not replace that contract.

**Subsystem affected**

Plugin worker lifecycle and automatic idle sleep.

**Problem or motivation**

A workspace with no pending work cannot sleep when any plugin is
enabled. Removing that check alone would lose accepted RPCs, background
tasks, or cleanup after a caller timeout.

**Proposed solution**

Require a live `onIdleDrain` handshake from each worker. Close admission
in both processes for the exact owner and expiry. Count accepted work
until completion. Continue checking durable work separately.

## What Changed

- Add bounded worker holds, exact-owner release, automatic expiry, and
an abort signal for plugin-owned background work.
- Count host and worker requests through their real completion receipts.
Keep timed-out work counted. Check active notifications and terminal
routes.
- Accept enabled plugins only when their current workers provide
matching runtime receipts. Missing workers, old SDKs, crashes, invalid
replies, and unknown cleanup still prevent sleep.
- Let unused Daytona workers opt in. Once a worker contacts the
provider, it remains a blocker for that process lifetime. This
restriction avoids treating its existing timeout and terminal-close
behavior as a cleanup receipt.
- Document the plugin author contract. No schema or user-facing API is
added.

## Verification

- All hosted CI checks passed on 6ffb682894, including all server,
runner, workspace, build, typecheck, and end-to-end checks. One
unrelated OpenCode transport test hit a five-second timeout and passed
on rerun.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Focused Vitest: 293 tests passed across worker admission, real
child-process RPC, durable idle checks, and Daytona.
- Adjacent worker manager and duplex tests: 119 passed.
- Real child-process tests cover late worker completion, a host write
after caller timeout, stale owners, closed admission, and release.
- SDK tests cover hook failures, busy workers, expiry without another
request, and late acknowledgements after expiry.
- Initial long local run: 17,202 passed, 10 failed. Five failures
involved parent-directory skill fixtures; four of those were already
reproduced and passed in an isolated worktree. One HTTP test had a
socket hang-up; all 66 tests in that file passed on rerun. The other
four used new tests with runtime modules loaded before the follow-up
edits; all pass in the fresh focused run above. A clean build and
full-suite rerun at the final commit are running in an isolated
worktree. No full-suite pass is claimed.
- Follow-up: 44 focused tests passed, including repeated owned holds
without an intervening normal request. Worker status changes now
invalidate an in-progress scan.
- Apex follow-up: 13 idle tests, 119 adjacent worker tests, 71
instance-settings route tests, and server typecheck passed. A real
queued notification completes its write while preparation is in flight;
synchronous and async session callback failures are logged.
- Diff whitespace and added-line secret/private-reference scans passed.

## Risks

- Plugins are trusted code. A hook must account for work outside SDK
RPCs and keep it quiescent until its signal aborts. There is no
package-name or manifest-only exemption.
- This first change targets unused workers. Used Daytona workers remain
awake until remote cleanup receipts are complete. Restarting does not
bypass durable lease and recovery checks.
- Unknown completion remains a blocker, including after a worker crash.
This can retain cost but cannot authorize sleep from a timeout alone.
- Enabled jobs, schedules, credentials, integrations, and other durable
work remain blockers. Durable wake ownership is separate follow-up work.
- Rollback restores the blanket plugin blocker. No data migration is
required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Used repository inspection, reasoning, code
editing, and command execution. The runtime did not report an exact
model revision or context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 3367b75ccc fix: fence accepted work and cleanup before idle sleep (#15522)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A host can stop an idle instance to reduce unused compute.
> - Zero active runs do not prove that requests, saved work, or cleanup
are complete.
> - A client can disconnect while its request still writes, and failed
cleanup can remain only in memory or on disk.
> - This pull request holds new admission and checks accepted work,
cleanup, and persisted work under an owned drain.
> - The host gets an empty report only while those checks remain valid.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13413. That companion PR uses the same owned-hold vocabulary for
runtime services. This PR covers HTTP requests, scheduler work,
accounting, cleanup, and the instance work inventory. It does not
include the preview gateway changes.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The instance task-drain API reports process counters. It does not prove
that a host can safely stop the instance for idle sleep.

**Current behavior**

A quiet run set can coexist with an unfinished request, cleanup after a
completed run, future work, or a failed accounting write.

**Proposed behavior**

Provide a bounded owned idle hold. Block new ingress, track accepted
handler promises, inspect durable and local work, and return `none` only
when the same hold stays quiet through the checks. Keep normal
deployment drains compatible.

**Reason and benefit**

Hosts can identify eligible idle instances without treating a disconnect
or failed cleanup write as completed work.

## What Changed

- Add `purpose: "idle"`, a bounded TTL, unique owners, and owner-checked
release to task drain. Existing holds cannot be replaced by another API
request.
- Gate HTTP ingress before parsers, auth, webhooks, and MCP. Gate new
WebSocket upgrades. Track async handlers in nested Express routers and
error middleware until they settle, even after the response or client
disconnect.
- Count accepted live-event WebSocket authentication through settlement,
even after disconnects. Count detached built-in agent, managed-home and
runtime-service startup reconciliation after readiness.
- Keep health and control mutations tracked. Count control-request
authentication separately from the read-only report, including
concurrent user/company/membership writes.
- Pause new scheduler admissions during idle holds. Count work already
in flight, including database backups, and reject scans whose work
generation changes. Periodic backups block sleep without a host wake
schedule.
- Inspect accounting and orphan-cleanup spool directories without
skipping temporary or malformed entries. Retain orphan tokens through
queue splices, flush failures, and buffer overflow. Keep failed usage
capture counted until its database failure fence is written.
- Check persisted work across companies in a bounded read-only
transaction. Include deferred agent-file cleanup and saved watchdogs
whose watched issues are complete. Enabled plugins and unsupported
retained work remain blockers.
- Require the exact idle owner and completed startup tracking before
returning an empty report. Keep reports free of tenant details.
- Document the hosting protocol, retry behavior, conservative blockers,
and the remaining external provider-stop race.

## Verification

- Current head: `8d9a599b732c2047b8c671d4799065d7c90a3567`, rebased on
master `941a3fa991aeb97eb1ac390c65b7973b5f6de1ad`. Both heartbeat helper
extractions are preserved. GitHub confirms no merge conflicts.
- Focused heartbeat renderer/run-log, drain, control-auth, admission,
route and PostgreSQL inventory checks: 234 tests passed in 10 suites
after the rebase.
- The POST task-drain contract includes the expected `409` conflict
response. The 84 OpenAPI and instance-settings route tests and server
typecheck passed after that final documentation fix.
- Final accepted-upgrade/startup regression run: 104 tests passed in
five suites, including success and failure after readiness or
disconnect. Final server typecheck also passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` and the PR diff secret scan passed.
No dependency or lockfile changes are added by this PR.
- The prior verification covered HTTP disconnects and early responses,
async error handlers, concurrent authentication writes, signed
bootstrap, saved watchdogs, backup promises, orphan cleanup, spools and
failed accounting fences. Those tests passed.
- The last full local `pnpm test:run` stopped in the general-server
phase with 16,658 passing tests and five skill/connector fixture
failures caused by an ancestor workspace skill directory. That full
local run preceded this rebase and has not been repeated for the import
conflict. Full current-head CI passed: 53 successful checks and two
conditional skips, with no failures.
- All eight review findings are fixed and their threads resolved,
including accepted upgrade authentication, detached startup writes and
the POST conflict contract. Current-head Apex review is 5/5 with no new
findings; all eight review threads remain resolved.
- No live provider stop or production change was performed.

## Risks

- The hosting controller must use the owned protocol and hold external
admission through its final validation and provider stop. A legacy drain
cannot authorize idle sleep. During an idle hold, new requests receive
503 with `Retry-After: 1`; the host must handle queueing or retry before
enabling this path.
- This is a single-process protocol. An unexpected restart after the
last validation can race an external provider stop. The host must
serialize deploy/wake/sleep operations and bind the validation to the
instance it stops. Multiple replicas need shared fencing.
- Some retained state conservatively prevents sleep, including every
enabled plugin. This PR does not promise that every inactive instance
becomes eligible.
- The HTTP adapter uses Express 5 router layers. Real Express tests
cover nested routes, errors and disconnects. New routes must register
before tracking is installed. Detached work must have durable state or
explicit work tracking.
- Unrecoverable in-memory cleanup debt keeps the instance awake until
reconciliation. This change does not make such debt survive an unplanned
process crash. No schema migration or provider configuration change is
included.

## Model Used

and code execution. The exact deployment variant/model ID and context
window are not exposed in this session.

Devin Foley 8c6cc7dccf feat(cloud): sync primary-company archive state with the Cloud control plane (#13837)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip Cloud runs managed instances and controls their lifecycle
from a control plane.
> - Inside the app, a person can archive a company. On a managed
instance, the Cloud-pinned primary company is the whole organization.
> - Today that archive stays local. The control plane does not learn
about it, so it keeps the instance running and shows the organization as
live.
> - This pull request notifies the control plane when the primary
company crosses the archived boundary, and adds two control endpoints so
the control plane can verify the state and undo the archive during a
restore.
> - The benefit is that an archived organization stops running and shows
as archived, and a restore brings the company back without manual steps.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. Description follows the enhancement template:

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Company archive on Cloud-managed instances. Archiving the primary
company pauses agents and cancels runs, but the hosting control plane
never learns about it.

**Subsystem affected**

Server: company service, cloud-control middleware, instance routes.

**Current behavior**

A person archives the primary company. The instance keeps running. The
Cloud portfolio still shows the organization as live. Unarchive after a
Cloud restore requires manual steps inside the product.

**Proposed behavior**

The company service rings a Cloud lifecycle doorbell when the primary
company is archived or unarchived. The control plane verifies the state
through `GET /api/instance/lifecycle` before it acts. During a restore,
the control plane calls `POST /api/instance/lifecycle/unarchive-primary`
to bring the company back. Self-hosted instances are not affected.

**Reason and benefit**

An archived organization should not keep running, and its hosting
console should show it as archived. The verified read-back keeps the
doorbell a hint: a forged or duplicated ring cannot change state.

## What Changed

- New `services/cloud-lifecycle-sync.ts`: fire-and-forget doorbell `POST
{cloudOrigin}/v1/tenant/lifecycle-changed` with bounded retries. It runs
only on cloud-managed instances, and only for the derived primary
company id. It never blocks or fails the company mutation.
- `services/companies.ts`: ring the doorbell after a committed archive
or unarchive transition, in both the `update()` status-patch path and
`archive()`.
- New `GET /api/instance/lifecycle`: reports the primary company id, its
status, and how many other companies are not archived. Bound to a
`lifecycle:read` Cloud control assertion; board members can also read
it.
- New `POST /api/instance/lifecycle/unarchive-primary`: idempotent
unarchive of the primary company as a system actor. Bound to
`lifecycle:unarchive-primary`; requires instance admin otherwise.
- `middleware/cloud-control.ts`: a closed endpoint→method→action table
replaces the single hardcoded endpoint. Each assertion still authorizes
exactly one action on one endpoint.
- `services/cloud-instance.ts`: the primary-company id derivation moves
here as the single definition; `middleware/auth.ts` delegates to it. The
derivation itself is unchanged.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit` in `server/` is clean.
- `pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/cloud-lifecycle-sync.test.ts
src/__tests__/cloud-control-task-drain.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/companies-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/cloud-tenant-company-provisioning.test.ts` — all pass.
- New tests cover: doorbell env-gating, retry bounds, no-throw contract;
the read-back status and sibling count; idempotent unarchive and the
admin gate; non-cloud 404s; control-assertion action binding for the new
endpoints, including cross-action and wrong-method rejection; and a
companies-service test that proves the doorbell rings exactly on
archived-boundary transitions.

## Risks

- Self-hosted instances see no behavior change: without a Cloud signal
the doorbell is a no-op and the endpoints answer 404.
- The doorbell is advisory by design. The control plane verifies through
the read-back before it acts, so a lost or duplicated ring cannot
corrupt state.
- The unarchive endpoint reuses the existing `companyService.update`
path, so agent reactivation and activity logging behave exactly like an
in-product unarchive.

DottaandPaperclip 141f202e40 Clean up experimental settings features (#12681)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app that people use to manage AI agents
for work.
> - Instance settings control optional product features and developer
tools.
> - The experimental settings page mixed active experiments, internal
tools, and old recovery controls.
> - Some workspace links also used the selected company instead of the
workspace owner.
> - These problems made settings hard to scan and could send users to
the wrong company route.
> - This pull request removes old controls, groups developer settings,
and resolves workspace links from workspace data.
> - The benefit is a smaller settings surface and correct workspace
navigation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the instance experimental settings page, task watchdog
controls, dependency wake recovery, and execution workspace routes.

**Current behavior**

The settings page shows old recovery controls and mixes product
experiments with internal developer settings. Task watchdogs require an
extra feature flag. Some direct workspace links use the current company
prefix instead of the company that owns the workspace.

**Proposed behavior**

Remove the old task recovery experiment and its unused API surface. Make
task watchdog controls available without the removed flag. Put worktree
execution and managed environment controls in the developer section.
Resolve direct workspace links from the workspace owner and reject a
company prefix that does not own the workspace.

**Reason and benefit**

The smaller settings page is easier to understand. The server keeps only
the dependency wake backstop that it still uses. Workspace links open
under the correct company route.

**Breaking changes**

This removes the experimental issue graph recovery preview and run
endpoints. It also removes the task watchdog feature flag. Task watchdog
data and dependency wake behavior remain available.

## What Changed

- Removed the old task watchdog and issue graph recovery feature flags.
- Removed the old issue graph recovery preview, run controls, API
contracts, and unused recovery implementation.
- Kept resolved dependency wakes as the scheduler backstop.
- Grouped product experiments and Paperclip developer settings on the
instance settings page.
- Made task watchdog controls available without an extra experimental
flag.
- Added owner-aware redirects and company checks for execution workspace
routes.
- Hid the false stopped-state badge while a workspace has no active
runtime state.
- Updated focused server and UI tests for the new behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,620 passing tests and four failures
in unchanged workspace runtime port tests. The same four failures repeat
when the two files run alone.
- The complete GitHub CI matrix passed, including all server, serialized
server, build, canary, and end-to-end jobs.

## Risks

- Clients that call the removed experimental recovery endpoints must
stop calling them.
- The route checks depend on workspace detail access. An unknown or
cross-company workspace returns the global not-found page.
- There are no database migrations, lockfile changes, workflow changes,
or design image changes.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 4310b0c947 refactor(server): remove unreachable task-drain compensation paths (#12511)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task-drain service controls when task execution can start and
stop.
> - The service had compensation paths for states that its validators or
recovery process already handle.
> - These paths added rollback state and a stuck-claim marker without
improving normal drain behavior.
> - This pull request removes the unreachable TTL clamp, audit rollback,
generation counter, and double-fault marker.
> - The result keeps input validation, audit ordering, atomic release,
and orphan recovery.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The task-drain service and its routes manage drain state, audit rows,
and execution locks.

**Subsystem affected**
server/ — REST API and orchestration services.

**Current behavior**
The service clamps a validated TTL value. The routes mutate drain state
before audit writes and then restore state after a failed write. Claim
release also tracks a second durable-write failure with an in-memory
marker.

**Proposed behavior**
The validator remains the single TTL policy. The routes write audit rows
before they mutate drain state. Claim release logs a failed write and
lets the orphan reaper release the issue lock.

**Reason and benefit**
The removed paths cannot handle a valid API request that reaches them.
The rollback can lose the original start time. The marker can keep a
drain non-quiescent until process restart. The simpler flow keeps state
consistent and uses the existing recovery path.

**Breaking changes**
None to the public API. A failed claim release keeps the issue lock
until the next orphan-reaper cycle.

## What Changed

- Remove the service-layer TTL clamp because the shared validator
rejects values above the limit.
- Write task-drain audit rows before drain mutation and remove the
rollback helpers.
- Remove the rollback generation counter and its unused state.
- Remove double-fault stuck-claim tracking and keep the atomic release
path.
- State that the quiescent flag describes work in this process.
- Keep the orphan reaper as the recovery path after a failed claim
release.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-drain-admission-release.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-drain.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-scheduling-suppression.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server test
server/src/__tests__/execution-lock-orphan-cleanup.test.ts`.
- The five affected test files pass with 70 tests.
- Confirm the full pull request checks pass before merge.

## Risks

The issue lock remains held until the orphan reaper runs after a failed
claim release. This uses the existing recovery path for interrupted
runs. The change does not alter the public API or database schema.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, 400K context window, tool use and code execution.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 6154e00f26 feat(server): add a task-drain admission hold to the instance API (#12485)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server admits agent work through heartbeat scheduling and
execution paths
> - Operators need to stop new work before maintenance or a graceful
shutdown
> - A process restart alone does not provide a reusable admission
control primitive
> - This pull request adds an instance API that holds new task admission
and reports process quiescence
> - The benefit is a small, auditable control that lets operators wait
for active work without a restart

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Operators cannot hold new task admission without restarting the
Paperclip process. A restart can interrupt maintenance flows and does
not provide a status signal for active work.

**Proposed solution**

Add `GET /instance/task-drain`, `POST /instance/task-drain`, and `DELETE
/instance/task-drain`. The server keeps the drain state in process
memory, applies it to every scheduling suppression path, supports an
optional TTL up to 24 hours, and reports active wake and run counts.

**Alternatives considered**

A timer would clear the drain after its TTL, but it could keep the
Node.js event loop open during shutdown. A database row would add
storage and query work for process-local state. The implementation uses
lazy expiry and process memory instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

The change supports the roadmap goal for enforced outcomes and safe
recovery actions. It does not duplicate a listed roadmap item.

**Additional context**

This is a server and shared-package change. It adds no user interface
and no database migration.

## What Changed

- Add process-local task-drain state with lazy TTL expiry.
- Add task-drain admission suppression to the shared heartbeat resolver.
- Add instance routes to read, start, and stop a task drain.
- Add validation for positive TTL values and the shared 24-hour maximum.
- Add activity records for drain mutations and tests for status, access
control, validation, and suppression.

## Verification

- Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-drain.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-scheduling-suppression.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` and compare
its known pre-existing errors with the base commit.
- Confirm that pull request CI reaches a terminal green state.

## Risks

The drain state exists only in process memory, so a restart clears it.
This behavior matches the process-local design. A drain without a TTL
remains active until an operator calls the delete route. The status
route reads in-memory activity sets and does not query stale database
rows.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, extended reasoning with tool use and code
execution. The exact runtime context window is not exposed by the
execution environment.

Devin Foley db4defdfbf feat: operator-configurable settings visibility via PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS (#11823)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The instance settings surface (Access, Plugins, Adapters, General,
Experimental) assumes the person at the keyboard operates the whole
instance
> - Operators who host Paperclip for others — a managed cloud or an
internal shared server — expose settings pages and toggles that do not
apply to their deployment, and the related mutation APIs stay open
> - A hosted tenant can open Plugins or Adapters, try an action, and hit
a confusing failure, because only a few hardcoded platform floors exist
> - This pull request adds a generic, operator-configured visibility
mechanism: one env var hides declared settings surfaces in the UI and
floors their mutation routes with a stable 403 code
> - The benefit is a clean hosted-tenant settings surface for any
operator, with zero behavior change for normal self-hosted instances

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Instance settings (server routes and UI), the shared settings registry
in `packages/shared`, and the `/api/health` bootstrap payload.

**Problem or motivation**

An operator who hosts Paperclip for other people cannot hide settings
surfaces that the platform manages. Tenants see Access, Plugins, and
Adapters pages, backup retention, and host-level experimental toggles
that do nothing useful for them. The mutation APIs behind these surfaces
also stay open, so a tenant admin can attempt actions the platform must
control. ROADMAP.md names a cleaner shared deployment story as a goal
("Teams should be able to run the same product in hosted or semi-hosted
environments without changing the mental model").

**Proposed solution**

Add a declarative registry of hideable settings surfaces and one env
var, `PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS`. The server parses the list at boot,
reports it on `/api/health`, and rejects value-changing writes to hidden
surfaces with a stable `settings_operator_managed` 403 code. The UI
reads the list from the health payload and removes the hidden pages,
sections, and toggles from navigation, routes, and page content. Unknown
keys warn and are ignored, so one list can roll across a fleet with
mixed app versions. With the variable unset, behavior is byte-identical
to today.

**Alternatives considered**

- Hardcode the hidden set for cloud instances in this repo: rejected,
because each hosting operator needs a different policy, and policy does
not belong in shared code.
- Deliver the hidden set through the managed-config document: rejected,
because that channel is cloud-specific and fail-closed on unknown
fields; a plain env var works for any operator, including self-hosted
shared servers.
- Lock the controls with a badge instead of hiding them: rejected for
these surfaces, because they are meaningless to tenants, not merely
platform-controlled; the existing managed-overlay lock stays the right
tool for controlled flags.

**Roadmap alignment**

Supports the "shared deployment story" item in ROADMAP.md: hosted and
semi-hosted deployments keep the same product with a settings surface
that matches what the tenant can actually do.

## What Changed

- New `packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.ts`: registry of hideable
surfaces (every instance settings page — profile, environments, access,
heartbeats, experimental, plugins, adapters; every Instance → General
section; every experimental flag as `instance.experimental.<key>`), the
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` parser, and the `settings_operator_managed`
error code. The General page stays visible as the settings root and
redirect target.
- New `server/src/services/settings-visibility.ts`: parse-once accessor;
unknown keys log one warning and are ignored.
- `/api/health` reports `hiddenSettings` on every response shape; the
field is omitted when nothing is hidden.
- Server floors on hidden surfaces, with same-value echo tolerance (the
`executionMode` precedent): field-backed general sections and
experimental keys reject value-changing PATCHes, and hiding the whole
Experimental page floors every toggle; plugin lifecycle and config
writes, adapter management writes, and the Access admin routes (reads
included) return 403 `settings_operator_managed`. Reads the app itself
needs (plugin `ui-contributions`, adapter metadata, plugin job trigger)
stay open. Pages without instance-scoped mutation routes are hidden in
the UI only.
- UI: new `useHiddenSettings` hook and `HiddenSettingsPageGate` route
gate (hidden pages redirect to the settings root); the settings sidebar
and tab bar drop hidden entries; remembered settings paths remap to the
default page; `InstanceGeneralSettings` skips hidden sections; every
`ExperimentalToggleCard` now carries its flag key and renders nothing
when hidden.
- Removed the dead `InstanceSidebar` component (referenced only by its
own test).
- Docs: `docs/deploy/environment-variables.md` documents the variable
and the key registry.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run` over the new and extended suites: shared registry
and parser, representative floor tests per route class (changed-value
403, same-value echo 200, unset env 200, page-level Experimental
hiding), the health field, the route gate, nav filtering, and
section/card hiding with one hidden example per surface kind — 168 tests
pass.
- Full root `pnpm typecheck` passes.
- Manual: booted a server with the variable set. `/api/health` lists the
keys; an unknown key logs one warning and the server boots; hidden pages
redirect; hidden sections and cards do not render; hidden-field PATCH
returns 403 with `details.code = "settings_operator_managed"`; a
same-value echo returns 200. Unset the variable: the full settings
surface returns and responses are byte-identical to master.

## Risks

- Low risk for self-hosted instances: with the variable unset, the
hidden set is empty, the health field is omitted, and no floor
activates.
- Flooring plugin config writes assumes hosted deployments configure
plugins through the platform. If a future bundled plugin needs
tenant-entered config, the floor needs a narrow carve-out.
- Hidden-key floors tolerate same-value echoes, so API clients that
round-trip full GET responses keep working.
- Hiding a toggle does not change its value; operators pair hiding with
the desired default where the value matters.

Devin Foley 0044fa8904 Let tenants edit env vars on managed sandbox environments; add managed-sandbox-only mode (#11200)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environments give each agent run an execution target: the local
host, SSH, or a sandbox provider
> - A managed deployment can provision one platform-managed sandbox
environment through the `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` `environments`
section
> - That row is fully locked today. A tenant cannot add environment
variables for their agents. There is also no way to hide local execution
— run selection falls back to the local row
> - A platform that manages the sandbox for its tenants needs both: the
tenant adds env vars (and nothing else), and local execution is neither
visible nor reachable
> - This pull request opens exactly one tenant edit (env vars) on the
managed sandbox row, and adds an `enableManagedSandboxOnly` mode that
hides local and makes run selection fail closed
> - The benefit is a complete managed-sandbox experience with no change
for self-hosted instances

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Environments (managed sandbox provisioning, environment routes, run
environment selection) and the environments UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Platform-provisioned sandbox environments
(`metadata.managedByPaperclip`) reject every write on cloud-managed
instances. Agents often need environment variables inside their sandbox.
The tenant has no way to set them on the managed row. Separately, an
operator cannot remove local execution: the environment list always
shows the local row, and run selection falls back to it when no default
is set.

**Proposed solution**

Allow an envVars-only PATCH on the managed sandbox row, and echo those
env vars back for editing. Add a managed-tier feature
(`enableManagedSandboxOnly`) that hides the local environment from all
read surfaces and redirects local-landing run selection to the managed
sandbox environment, failing closed when it is unavailable.

**Alternatives considered**

UI-only hiding of the local row. This was rejected: it does not stop a
run from resolving to local, so it is presentation without enforcement.
Full unlock of the managed row was also rejected: name, driver, and
config stay platform-owned so boot reconciliation cannot fight tenant
edits.

## What Changed

- `server/src/routes/environments.ts`: the platform-provisioned write
floor admits an envVars-only PATCH on the generalized managed sandbox
row (sandbox driver, `managedByPaperclip`, not legacy kubernetes-marker
rows). Name, driver, config, status, metadata, and DELETE stay rejected.
The read floor stops blanking env vars on that row; credential-shaped
config keys stay redacted for every actor. Legacy kubernetes-marker rows
keep the full floor.
- Same file: under `enableManagedSandboxOnly`, the environments list and
the by-id read omit the local row for every actor, including instance
admins.
- `server/src/services/execution-workspace-policy.ts`:
`resolveExecutionWorkspaceEnvironmentId` gains the managed-sandbox-only
inputs. A selection that lands on the local environment is redirected to
the managed sandbox environment. With no active managed row it throws
`ManagedSandboxUnavailableError` — never local. Non-local selections
(ssh, user-created sandboxes) are untouched.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: the run path reads the flag, looks
up the managed row (`findManagedSandboxEnvironment`, new read-only
finder in `environments.ts`), and passes both to the resolver. Mirrors
the forced-kubernetes precedent, which keeps precedence when both
regimes are on.
- `server/src/services/managed-environments.ts`: after a successful
reconcile, the instance default environment moves to the managed sandbox
row when the current default is unset, local, or dangling. A
tenant-chosen custom environment is never overridden.
- `packages/shared`: new `enableManagedSandboxOnly` key (schema default
false, catalog tier `managed`, cloudDefault false, selfHostedDefault
false) and the matching interface field.
- UI: managed rows show a "Managed by Paperclip" lock badge; editing one
opens a dedicated env-vars-only editor that sends the one PATCH shape
the server admits (the old full form failed with a 403 on save). New
`ui/src/lib/managed-sandbox-environment.ts` mirrors the local filter for
cached lists (applied in the project picker; the agent picker already
excluded local). The experimental settings page gains the toggle at its
alphabetical card position. `environmentsApi.update` now declares the
`envVars` field it already sent.
- Tests: environment route floor coverage (envVars-only accepted, mixed
bodies rejected, legacy rows still blanked and locked, local hidden and
404 under the flag, self-hosted unchanged), an embedded-postgres service
test pinning that boot reconciliation never touches tenant env vars,
resolver redirect/fail-closed cases, managed-environments
default-stamping cases, and UI lib/settings tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-policy.test.ts
src/services/managed-environments.test.ts` — all pass.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run` — 425 pass
(catalog/schema default parity is pinned by an existing test).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec tsc --noEmit` and the affected UI
suites (CompanyEnvironments, InstanceExperimentalSettings incl.
card-order test, new lib test) — all pass.
- Full workspace `pnpm test`: 3,414 passed. 17 files report failures on
this machine; the identical 17 fail on a clean `origin/master` worktree
in the same environment (git-worktree/skills/embedded-postgres
environment dependencies and plugin-SDK zero-test collections). One
additional file (`issue-monitor-scheduler.test.ts`) failed one
timing-sensitive test in one of two full-suite runs and passes 7/7 in
isolation on this branch — a flake in a domain this diff does not touch.
The branch introduces no new failures.
- Self-hosted zero-delta: every new behavior is gated on the
cloud-managed instance check or the new flag, which defaults to false in
schema and catalog; pinned by the "does not floor platform-marked rows
on self-hosted instances" and flag-off tests.

## Risks

- Behavior is opt-in twice over: the write-floor exception applies only
to rows the managed-config provisioner stamps, and the hiding/forcing
applies only when `enableManagedSandboxOnly` is on (default false
everywhere). Self-hosted instances see no change.
- The env-vars echo is scoped to the generalized managed sandbox row;
legacy kubernetes-marker rows keep the blanket floor because
pre-generalization builds may have written platform values there.
- Fail-closed run selection means a managed instance with the flag on
and an archived managed row (provider plugin down) refuses runs with a
precise error instead of running locally. That is the intended posture.

DottaandPaperclip 5858ccb981 feat: make in-app features cloud-aware (#10850)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use the same board application in self-hosted and
Paperclip Cloud deployments.
> - A Cloud tenant contains one company, so an in-app company switch
does not change the active Cloud stack.
> - Cloud operators need the sidebar and company surfaces to use the
signed-in user's stack portfolio.
> - The server must derive Cloud identity and links from trusted
instance context instead of client input.
> - This pull request adds canonical Cloud context, a trusted stack
portfolio proxy, and Cloud-aware navigation.
> - The benefit is consistent stack switching on Cloud while self-hosted
company behavior stays unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: server REST routes and the React board UI.

**Problem or motivation**

A Cloud-managed instance contains one company. The existing company
switcher could only switch records inside that tenant. It could not move
the operator to another Cloud stack. The existing header also gave long
organization names too little width.

**Proposed solution**

Expose a canonical public Cloud context in health data. Add a trusted
server proxy for the current user's stack portfolio. Use that data in
the board UI to switch stacks with top-level navigation. Keep the
existing company behavior on self-hosted instances. Move search into the
navigation and keep long organization names inside the sidebar panel.

**Alternatives considered**

An in-app `/stacks` route was rejected because Cloud tenant hosts
reserve that path and stack selection must wake or authenticate another
tenant. Client-supplied user identity was rejected because the server
can derive the trusted Cloud actor.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change advances the Cloud deployments milestone. It keeps the
product local-first and Cloud-ready without changing the self-hosted
mental model.

## What Changed

- Added canonical Cloud instance context and public health metadata.
- Added a Cloud-only stack portfolio proxy with trusted actor forwarding
and per-user caching.
- Prevented normal company creation on Cloud-managed instances.
- Switched the sidebar and Companies page from company actions to stack
actions on Cloud.
- Added full-page stack navigation and Cloud create-stack links.
- Moved search into the sidebar navigation so the organization name
keeps more width.
- Added truncation and hover recovery for long organization and stack
names.
- Added server and UI regression coverage for Cloud and self-hosted
behavior.
- Updated the implementation specification for the Cloud contracts.

## Verification

- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` passed. All three token gates are
clean.
- `pnpm --dir server exec vitest run src/__tests__/health.test.ts
src/__tests__/cloud-instance.test.ts src/__tests__/cloud-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/company-cloud-floor.test.ts
src/__tests__/company-portability-routes.test.ts` passed: 5 files and 66
tests.
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run
src/components/SidebarCompanyMenu.test.tsx` passed: 1 file and 11 tests.
- Pre-PR QA report `7da87ca7` passed all 8 acceptance criteria with real
HTTP route factories and real Chromium screenshots in Cloud and
self-hosted modes.
- Security reviews passed for the canonical Cloud context and stack
portfolio proxy.

## Risks

- Cloud stack switching depends on the configured Cloud application and
tenant portfolio URLs.
- The new health `cloud` block is public by design, but it contains only
canonical public instance metadata.
- The stack proxy fails closed on self-hosted instances and derives the
user identity from the trusted actor.
- Self-hosted navigation and company creation retain their existing
paths and behavior.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, model `gpt-5`. The run used reasoning, repository tools,
shell execution, and GitHub integration. The deployment did not expose
its context-window size.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip c274f10abc feat(server): computed owner instance-admin elevation for cloud-managed instances, behind platform floors (#10343)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Cloud-managed instances authenticate tenant users through a
trusted-header path (`resolveCloudTenantActor`) that deliberately never
grants `instance_admin`, so every tenant user is company-scoped
> - On a dedicated (single-owner) managed instance that leaves the
paying owner unable to administer their own instance: instance settings,
the environments admin surface, and the custom sandbox image flow are
all instance-admin gated (the environments UI can't even show the
provider/image of the platform sandbox because the restricted read view
blanks `config` entirely)
> - Re-granting the old blanket `instance_user_roles` row would repeat
the mistake the shared-pool hardening fixed: DB rows go stale, resurrect
via restores, and elevate through every auth path
> - This pull request elevates only the stack `owner`, computed per
request at the trusted-header boundary behind a new managed-tier feature
flag, and ships that elevation together with code floors on the
platform-owned surfaces an instance admin must not control on a managed
instance
> - The benefit is that dedicated-stack owners can administer their own
instance while platform credentials, execution policy, backups, and
runtime code-install stay platform-owned, and self-hosted behavior is
unchanged

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change; the underlying issue is
described here following the feature-request template.

### Problem or motivation

- On cloud-managed instances, tenant users resolved from trusted headers
are always company-scoped. For dedicated instances with a single paying
owner, the owner cannot reach any instance-admin surface of their own
instance (instance settings, environments administration, custom image
setup), and the restricted environment read view hides even structural
fields like the sandbox provider and image.
- The previous hardening intentionally removed blanket elevation (and
purges stale `instance_user_roles` rows on every trusted-header
authentication). That protection must not regress for shared
multi-tenant pools.

### Proposed solution

- Owner-only, computed, flag-gated elevation plus code floors on
platform-owned surfaces, in one PR so the elevation can never ship
without the floors.

### Alternatives considered

- Re-inserting an `instance_user_roles` row for owners (the
pre-hardening model): rejected — DB rows go stale, survive restores, and
elevate through every auth path; #7525 removed exactly this.
- Widening only the environments read view without any elevation:
rejected — it fixes one screen but still leaves a dedicated-instance
owner unable to administer instance settings or custom images.
- Elevating additional stack roles (`member`/`admin`/`support`):
rejected — only the owner has an ownership claim over the whole
instance; other roles stay company-scoped.

### Roadmap alignment

- Extends the shipped "Cloud deployments" roadmap work (multi-tenant
isolation, company-scoped cloud tenants, managed-instance bootstrap)
without overlapping planned core items, and leaves self-hosted behavior
unchanged.

## What Changed

- **New feature key** `enableOwnerInstanceAdmin` (`packages/shared`):
boolean flag in `instanceExperimentalSettingsSchema`, catalog tier
`managed`, `cloudDefault: true`, `selfHostedDefault: false`. Inert on
self-hosted instances — the elevation path only exists behind the cloud
tenant trust token.
- **Computed elevation** (`server/src/middleware/auth.ts`):
`resolveCloudTenantActor` now returns `isInstanceAdmin: true` only when
the trusted-header stack role is `owner` **and** the flag is enabled.
The flag is resolved through the instance-settings service so the
managed-config overlay applies (the control plane can disable elevation
fleet-wide without touching tenant databases; a DB row edit or restore
cannot resurrect it). Resolution fails closed on settings read errors.
The `instance_user_roles` never-insert and the per-request stale-row
purge are byte-identical. `member`/`admin`/`support` stack roles stay
company-scoped.
- **Authorization guard split**
(`server/src/services/authorization.ts`): the blanket-allow now trusts
the actor's *computed* `isInstanceAdmin` flag (only the attested
resolver can set it for `cloud_tenant` actors) while keeping the
`instance_user_roles` DB lookup excluded for `cloud_tenant` — a stale or
hand-inserted role row still elevates nothing.
- **Floor F1 — platform environment credentials**
(`server/src/routes/environments.ts`): on cloud-managed instances,
platform-provisioned environment rows (`managedByPaperclip` marker, plus
the legacy managed-Kubernetes marker) use a single floored view for
every reader on all environment routes (list, get, create, update,
delete responses): `envVars` are never echoed and credential-shaped
`config` keys (reusing the managed-config
`SECRET_LIKE_CONFIG_KEY_PATTERN`) are dropped — for **all** actors
including instance admins — while structural config (provider, image,
template, region, …) and the managed markers stay visible. This also
fixes the environments UI for managed sandboxes, which previously lost
the provider/image entirely in the restricted view. The floor also
covers writes: `PATCH /environments/:id` and `DELETE /environments/:id`
on a platform-provisioned row are rejected (403,
`environment_platform_managed`) for every actor including instance
admins, and the guard binds to the persisted row's markers so a patch
cannot strip the managed marker to lift the floor. The one recovery path
is a metadata-only PATCH that solely clears the marker keys
(null/false), for rows stamped through the old unrestricted API before
the markers became reserved — and it never applies to a row whose slot
markers are live platform state: the single local row
(`environments_local_driver_idx`), which `ensureLocalEnvironment` adopts
and stamps on cloud-managed instances from every caller (company
creation, the heartbeat, run orchestration), and the single marked
sandbox row (`environments_managed_sandbox_idx`) while a managed-sandbox
bootstrap path is configured (managed-config `environments` section or
`PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE=kubernetes`) and the provisioner therefore
adopts and refreshes it on every boot. Clearing a live slot row's
markers would let the next write reclassify it as tenant-managed and
bypass the floor; conversely, when no sandbox provisioning path is
configured the platform holds no claim on any sandbox row, so a platform
marker there is stale by definition and the recovery patch applies.
Every marker outside a live slot is clearable, so no legacy row is ever
locked permanently. Custom-image setup and probes on the platform
sandbox stay available to instance admins — those are the owner-facing
flows this elevation exists for. The marker keys themselves are
reserved: client create/update payloads that set `managedByPaperclip` or
`managedKubernetesSandbox` are rejected (422,
`environment_platform_marker_reserved`) on cloud-managed instances, so a
tenant row can never be stamped platform-provisioned through the API and
self-locked behind the write floor (the provisioner writes markers at
the service layer, not through these routes). Tenant-created
environments are otherwise unaffected.
- **Floor F2 — executionMode**
(`server/src/routes/instance-settings.ts`): on cloud-managed instances,
`PATCH /instance/settings/general` rejects writes that would change
`executionMode` (403, `execution_mode_platform_managed`). Same-value
echoes pass so settings forms that submit the full general-settings
object keep working. The boot-time execution-policy bootstrap path is
untouched (it calls the service directly).
- **Floor F3 — manual database backups**
(`server/src/routes/instance-database-backups.ts`): floored off on
cloud-managed instances (403, `database_backups_platform_managed`);
backups are platform-owned there, and the result would also echo a
server-side filesystem path.
- **Floor F4 — adapter code install** (`server/src/routes/adapters.ts`):
`POST /adapters/install` and `POST /adapters/:type/reinstall` are
floored off on cloud-managed instances (403,
`adapter_install_platform_managed`). Adapter packages execute in the
server process, so a runtime install would let an instance admin read
the platform trust anchors out of the process environment. This mirrors
the existing bundled-only plugin install floor; adapter code on managed
instances comes bundled with the platform image.

## Instance-admin surface audit

Before widening who can hold `isInstanceAdmin`, every
instance-admin-gated surface in `server/src` was enumerated and reviewed
for whether its response or side effects could echo process environment
values or platform credentials (tenant trust token, JWT signing keys,
database connection strings, provider API keys): 29 distinct gate
definitions covering ~90+ call sites, in four groups — sole
instance-admin gates (12), instance-admin-or-company-permission gates
(10), response-shaping/scope-widening sites (6), and the central
`allow_instance_admin` short-circuit in the authorization service (58
`decide()` call sites).

Findings and dispositions:
- **Environment read/write responses** exposed platform sandbox
`envVars`/credential-shaped config to instance admins → closed by floor
F1.
- **Manual backup trigger** echoed a server filesystem path and triggers
a platform-owned operation → closed by floor F3.
- **Adapter install/reinstall** loads externally fetched code into the
server process (indirect, complete env exposure) → closed by floor F4.
The sibling plugin-install path already had a bundled-only floor on
managed instances and needed no change.
- **Token-minting surfaces** (gateway tokens, custom-image
terminal/connection tokens) mint credentials scoped to the instance's
own resources, not platform trust anchors → acceptable for an
owner-admin of a dedicated instance; unchanged.
- All remaining gated surfaces return ordinary instance-scoped business
data; none echo `process.env` or platform secrets directly. OAuth client
secrets are referenced by env-var *name* only; SSH private keys are
stored as secret refs before persistence and are not echoed.

Operational note for managed platforms: this model assumes the process
environment of a managed instance holds only that instance's own
credentials. Platform operators should keep provider credentials
per-instance (never fleet-shared) since an instance admin ultimately
controls in-process code on their own instance.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run server/src/middleware/cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts` —
resolver matrix: owner × flag on/off, flag via managed overlay
(on-over-DB-off and off-over-DB-on), member/admin/support × flag on,
no-token self-hosted, fail-closed settings read, purge still runs and no
role row is ever inserted (14 tests).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts` —
computed flag elevates a `cloud_tenant` actor; a stale
`instance_user_roles` row still never does; `session` actors unchanged
(full suite, embedded Postgres).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts` —
F1: no secret echo to admins on get/list, structural config visible to
restricted readers, platform-row PATCH/DELETE rejected for admins
(including a marker-stripping patch), marker-clear recovery allowed for
stale legacy rows and for a marked sandbox row when no provisioning path
is configured, but refused on the managed local row and on the sandbox
slot row under a managed-config `environments` entry or the forced
kubernetes execution mode, client marker-stamping creates/patches
rejected, tenant rows still readable and writable, self-hosted
read+write regression (60 tests).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts` —
`ensureLocalEnvironment` adopts a pre-existing local row on
cloud-managed instances (marker stamped, other metadata preserved,
idempotent — no rewrite on re-ensure) and leaves self-hosted rows
untouched (22 tests, embedded Postgres).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-database-backups-routes.test.ts` — F2
change-vs-echo matrix incl. self-hosted regression; F3 floor for both
admin shapes (32 tests).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/adapter-routes-authz.test.ts` —
F4 floor; self-hosted install/reinstall behavior unchanged (existing
cases).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/first-admin-claim.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/bootstrap-claim-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/health.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts
server/src/services/managed-environments.test.ts
server/src/services/execution-policy-bootstrap.test.ts` — first-admin
bootstrap gate and managed-config behavior unchanged (91 tests).
- `pnpm vitest run packages/shared/src/feature-catalog.test.ts` —
catalog/schema sync tests cover the new key (selfHostedDefault must
equal the schema default).
- `pnpm run typecheck` — all 31 workspace projects clean.

## Risks

- Self-hosted behavior is unchanged: every floor binds to
`isCloudManagedInstance()` (tenant trust token present), the new flag
defaults off with no elevation path, and regression tests pin the
self-hosted branches.
- The elevation is fail-closed and stateless: turning the flag off
(managed overlay or DB) de-elevates on the next request; there is no
role row to clean up and restores cannot resurrect elevation.
- On a cloud-managed instance a pre-existing unmarked local row is
adopted (stamped `managedByPaperclip`) by the next ensure and becomes
platform-owned — the intended managed-product semantic: the platform
owns the single local slot. Self-hosted instances are untouched.
- F1 widens restricted readers' view of platform-provisioned rows from
fully blanked `config`/`metadata` to structural-only `config` plus
markers. Platform-delivered config is guaranteed secret-free by the
managed-config contract (secret-shaped keys fail startup), and the floor
re-drops secret-shaped keys defensively.
- One extra instance-settings read per trusted-header request for
owner-role actors (the resolver already performs several queries per
request).

DottaandPaperclip b07b2994cc feat: stamp responsible users on activity logs (#9731)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane people use to manage AI-agent
companies and their work
> - The activity log is the generic audit spine for mutations across the
control plane
> - Activity rows identify agents and runs, but they do not persist the
responsible human upstream
> - Relying only on run joins loses attribution after run pruning and
misses agent API-key actions outside a run
> - This pull request resolves responsible-user attribution when each
activity row is written and stores it directly
> - The benefit is durable, queryable agent audit feeds without
rewriting historical provenance

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Problem or motivation

Agent activity records do not persist the responsible user, so
attribution can disappear when runs are pruned and no-run API-key
mutations cannot be attributed correctly.

### Proposed solution

Resolve attribution for each new activity row from the run, related
issue, active agent API key, or company default, in that order, and
persist the result directly.

### Alternatives considered

Read-time joins alone were rejected because pruned runs lose durable
attribution and out-of-run agent-key actions have no run to join.
Historical backfill was rejected because it would invent provenance.

### Roadmap alignment

This strengthens the durable audit-trail direction described in
`ROADMAP.md` without adding a new product surface.

## What Changed

- Added nullable `activity_log.responsible_user_id` plus
company/agent/time and company/responsible-user/time indexes.
- Added an idempotent forward-only migration with no historical
backfill.
- Added centralized write-time resolution: heartbeat run → issue
attribution → active agent API key → company default.
- Propagated authenticated API-key IDs through existing request-backed
`logActivity()` calls.
- Added unit coverage for every fallback and an embedded-Postgres
assertion for the no-run API-key stamping path.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/activity-log-responsible-user.test.ts
src/__tests__/authz-company-access.test.ts`
- Initial focused verification: 25 tests passed; migration safety
passed.
- Follow-up regression verification: 54 focused
attribution/company-skill/environment/issue-tree/tool-gateway tests
passed; server typecheck passed.
- GitHub: full build, typecheck, server shards, serialized suites, e2e,
security, and policy checks passed.

## Risks

- Adding two indexes to an existing large table can hold a write lock
while the transactional migration runs. The migration safety
suppressions document why `CONCURRENTLY` is unavailable under the
current Drizzle migration runner.
- Historical rows remain nullable by design; this avoids inventing
provenance and keeps the migration forward-only.
- API-key attribution requires request-backed activity call sites to
pass the authenticated key ID; this PR mechanically updates the existing
actor-based activity calls and covers the no-run path with integration
testing.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, `gpt-5.4`; context-window size was not exposed by the
runtime. Medium reasoning with repository editing, terminal execution,
and test execution capabilities was used.

Devin Foley 547463d3a2 refactor(environments): make execution environments instance-scoped (#8375)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for AI-agent companies, so execution
environment selection has to stay inspectable and predictable across
companies, agents, and runs.
> - The environment subsystem decides where an agent heartbeat actually
runs and how remote sandbox state is realized and restored.
> - That subsystem previously mixed company-scoped environment catalogs
with issue-level environment stamping, so a reassigned issue could keep
executing in the previous assignee's sandbox.
> - That behavior breaks the control-plane contract: changing the
assignee should change the executing agent/environment path unless there
is an explicit current override.
> - Fixing it cleanly required more than a narrow patch; the environment
model had to move to instance scope with a single inherited default and
per-agent override semantics.
> - This pull request rewires the schema, server/API surface, runtime
resolution, and UI around that model, then adds regression coverage for
cross-company inheritance and per-agent isolation.
> - The benefit is that environment choice now follows the approved
instance/agent configuration path instead of stale issue state, while
shared environments only need to be configured once per instance.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- No directly matching public GitHub issue or PR was found while
searching for this refactor.

### What happened?

Reassigning work between agents with different execution environments
could keep running in the previous sandbox because environment choice
was stamped onto the issue and outranked the current assignee. The same
subsystem also forced environment catalogs to be duplicated per company
even though the underlying execution environments were instance-wide
resources.

### Expected behavior

Execution should resolve through the current instance and agent
configuration path, with one instance-scoped environment catalog, one
instance default, optional per-agent override, and no stale issue-level
environment authority surviving reassignment.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Configure two agents to use different execution environments.
2. Assign an issue to the first agent so the issue records execution
state in that environment.
3. Reassign the same issue to the second agent and run another
heartbeat.
4. Observe that the pre-fix runtime can still sync or execute in the
original sandbox instead of the second agent's environment.

### Paperclip version or commit

Current `master` before this PR.

### Deployment mode

Self-hosted server.

### Installation method

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

### Agent adapter(s) involved

- Claude Code
- Not adapter-specific (core bug in environment authority / resolution)

### Database mode

External Postgres.

### Access context

Both board reassignment and agent heartbeats were involved.

## What Changed

- Moved environments and their default selection contract to instance
scope in DB/shared types, including the migration that dedupes legacy
per-company environments and seeds the instance local default.
- Reworked environment CRUD/auth flows to use instance-scoped APIs and
added route/service coverage for instance-level environment management.
- Changed runtime resolution to prefer `agent default -> instance
default -> built-in local`, removed issue-level environment stamping
from the active execution path, and isolated sandbox/plugin leases by
`(executionWorkspaceId, agentId)`.
- Added environment env-var runtime precedence so environment-provided
values act as the baseline for agent execution.
- Moved the environment UI into instance settings and updated agent
configuration surfaces to reflect inherit/override behavior.
- Added regression coverage for instance-default inheritance across
companies and for the new runtime resolution behavior.
- Fixed a rebase-only duplicate `enableTaskWatchdogs` flag regression in
instance settings types/validators/services so the branch typechecks
cleanly on current `master`.
- Updated stale server tests so CI matches the shipped instance-scoped
environment contract.

## Risks

- The migration changes environment scope and dedupes existing rows, so
installs with unusual legacy environment combinations should be reviewed
carefully during upgrade.
- Remote execution behavior now depends on instance-default inheritance
semantics instead of issue-level stamping, so any remaining code paths
that still assume issue-scoped environment authority would surface as
follow-up bugs.
- This PR includes both server/runtime behavior and UI relocation, so
reviewers should watch for authorization edge cases around instance
settings and environment management.

> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). This work fits the existing
Cloud / Sandbox agents direction as a bug-fix/refactor to current
behavior, not a new parallel product surface.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent in this Paperclip/Codex session; GPT-5-class
tool-using model with code execution and shell access. The exact backend
model ID is not exposed to the session runtime.

a71c4b6782 [codex] feat(watchdog): add task watchdog control plane (#8339)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task lifecycle and recovery subsystems decide when agent work is
still productive, stalled, or ready for review.
> - Existing recovery paths can observe stopped or incomplete work, but
there was no first-class per-task watchdog model with scoped review
permissions.
> - Watchdog follow-ups also need strict boundaries so
recovery/status-only runs cannot mutate approvals or perform deliverable
work.
> - This pull request adds the task watchdog data model, API/service
layer, scheduler/review flow, adapter wake context, UI configuration
surfaces, and docs.
> - The branch has been rebased onto current `paperclipai/paperclip`
`master`; the watchdog migration is now ordered after master's latest
migrations as `0104_issue_watchdogs`.
> - The benefit is a more explicit task-review loop that preserves
Paperclip's single-assignee and governance invariants while making
stalled work easier to route.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No linked GitHub issue. Paperclip task:
[PAP-11275](/PAP/issues/PAP-11275).

## Problem or motivation

Task recovery needs a first-class watchdog path that can inspect stopped
work and create scoped follow-ups without bypassing normal task
ownership. Board/UI users need a way to configure watchdogs on tasks and
see watchdog-related live work. Recovery/status-only runs must remain
limited to status reporting and must not create approvals, link
approvals, or submit approval comments.

## Proposed solution

Add a task-watchdog data model, scheduler/classifier, scoped mutation
guard, adapter wake context, API/UI configuration surfaces, and
documentation so watchdog agents can review stopped task subtrees under
explicit boundaries.

## Alternatives considered

Reuse the existing recovery-action flow only. That would keep
stopped-work detection implicit, make per-task watchdog assignment
harder to expose in the UI, and would not provide a durable
scoped-review issue for stalled task trees.

## Roadmap alignment

This is Paperclip control-plane lifecycle infrastructure for task
execution and recovery. I checked `ROADMAP.md`; this PR does not
duplicate an existing planned core item.

## What Changed

- Added issue watchdog schema, migration, shared contracts, validators,
CRUD API, and service support.
- Added task watchdog scheduler/classifier behavior, scoped mutation
enforcement, adapter wake context, and default watchdog mandate
guidance.
- Added UI surfaces for configuring watchdogs on new/existing tasks,
viewing watchdog activity, and exposing the experimental setting.
- Added docs for the user-facing task watchdog workflow and
implementation semantics.
- Gated new-task watchdog setup behind `enableTaskWatchdogs` and blocked
cheap status-only recovery runs from approval mutations.
- Rebased onto current `master` and renumbered the idempotent watchdog
migration from the branch-local `0102_issue_watchdogs` slot to
`0104_issue_watchdogs`.
- Addressed Greptile feedback by loading watchdog classifier input with
a recursive subtree query and centralizing the watchdog origin-kind
constant.
- Added and updated focused server/UI tests for watchdog routes,
scheduler/classifier behavior, scope boundaries, live task visibility,
settings, and new issue dialog behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/task-watchdogs-scheduler.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/task-watchdogs-classifier.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/approval-routes-idempotency.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `git diff --check`
- Verified the PR diff does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows`.

## Risks

- Medium risk: this introduces a new task lifecycle surface touching DB
schema, server routes/services, adapter wake context, and UI task
configuration.
- Watchdog scheduling behavior depends on the new experimental setting
and runtime context checks behaving consistently across local and
production agents.
- The watchdog migration is idempotent (`IF NOT EXISTS` /
duplicate-object guards) so users who tried the previous branch-local
migration number should not get duplicate-object failures.
- CI and the second Greptile pass are pending after the latest
review-fix push.

DottaandPaperclip fda296ee4f [codex] Add configurable liveness auto-recovery controls (#4587)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Heartbeat liveness recovery decides when stalled issue trees need
manager-visible follow-up.
> - Automatic recovery issue creation is useful, but operators need
instance-level controls for how aggressive it is.
> - Without controls, recovery behavior is harder to tune for local
development, production operations, and noisy edge cases.
> - This pull request adds configurable liveness auto-recovery settings
across shared contracts, API routes, services, and the instance
experimental settings UI.
> - The benefit is that operators can keep liveness findings advisory or
enable bounded recovery automation with explicit intervals and lookback
windows.

## What Changed

- Added shared types and validators for liveness auto-recovery settings.
- Extended instance settings routes and services to persist and validate
the new controls.
- Wired heartbeat/recovery services to honor enablement, minimum
interval, and lookback settings.
- Added UI controls for liveness recovery under instance experimental
settings.
- Covered the new server behavior with instance settings and liveness
escalation tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts --pool=forks
--poolOptions.forks.isolate=true`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`

## Risks

- Moderate behavioral risk because recovery automation timing changes
when enabled; defaults keep existing advisory behavior unless the
setting is turned on.
- No database migration in this PR; settings are stored through the
existing instance settings path.

b9a80dcf22 feat: implement multi-user access and invite flows (#3784)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies.
> - V1 needs to stay local-first while also supporting shared,
authenticated deployments.
> - Human operators need real identities, company membership, invite
flows, profile surfaces, and company-scoped access controls.
> - Agents and operators also need the existing issue, inbox, workspace,
approval, and plugin flows to keep working under those authenticated
boundaries.
> - This branch accumulated the multi-user implementation, follow-up QA
fixes, workspace/runtime refinements, invite UX improvements,
release-branch conflict resolution, and review hardening.
> - This pull request consolidates that branch onto the current `master`
branch as a single reviewable PR.
> - The benefit is a complete multi-user implementation path with tests
and docs carried forward without dropping existing branch work.

## What Changed

- Added authenticated human-user access surfaces: auth/session routes,
company user directory, profile settings, company access/member
management, join requests, and invite management.
- Added invite creation, invite landing, onboarding, logo/branding,
invite grants, deduped join requests, and authenticated multi-user E2E
coverage.
- Tightened company-scoped and instance-admin authorization across
board, plugin, adapter, access, issue, and workspace routes.
- Added profile-image URL validation hardening, avatar preservation on
name-only profile updates, and join-request uniqueness migration cleanup
for pending human requests.
- Added an atomic member role/status/grants update path so Company
Access saves no longer leave partially updated permissions.
- Improved issue chat, inbox, assignee identity rendering,
sidebar/account/company navigation, workspace routing, and execution
workspace reuse behavior for multi-user operation.
- Added and updated server/UI tests covering auth, invites, membership,
issue workspace inheritance, plugin authz, inbox/chat behavior, and
multi-user flows.
- Merged current `public-gh/master` into this branch, resolved all
conflicts, and verified no `pnpm-lock.yaml` change is included in this
PR diff.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx`
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-service-authz.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/access-validators.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/db typecheck && pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm db:generate`
- `npx playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts --list`
- Confirmed branch has no uncommitted changes and is `0` commits behind
`public-gh/master` before PR creation.
- Confirmed no `pnpm-lock.yaml` change is staged or present in the PR
diff.

## Risks

- High review surface area: this PR contains the accumulated multi-user
branch plus follow-up fixes, so reviewers should focus especially on
company-boundary enforcement and authenticated-vs-local deployment
behavior.
- UI behavior changed across invites, inbox, issue chat, access
settings, and sidebar navigation; no browser screenshots are included in
this branch-consolidation PR.
- Plugin install, upgrade, and lifecycle/config mutations now require
instance-admin access, which is intentional but may change expectations
for non-admin board users.
- A join-request dedupe migration rejects duplicate pending human
requests before creating unique indexes; deployments with unusual
historical duplicates should review the migration behavior.
- Company member role/status/grant saves now use a new combined
endpoint; older separate endpoints remain for compatibility.
- Full production build was not run locally in this heartbeat; CI should
cover the full matrix.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent, GPT-5-based model, CLI/tool-use
environment. Exact deployed model identifier and context window were not
exposed by the runtime.

## Checklist

- [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context
to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)
- [x] I have run tests locally and they pass
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable
- [x] If this change affects the UI, I have included before/after
screenshots
- [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes
- [x] I have considered and documented any risks above
- [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before
requesting merge

Note on screenshots: this is a branch-consolidation PR for an
already-developed multi-user branch, and no browser screenshots were
captured during this heartbeat.
