## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents run inside environments (local, SSH, E2B sandbox)
> - Operators need to configure and manage these environments
> - But environment settings were buried inside the general company
settings page, making them hard to find
> - Additionally, when testing an agent from the configuration form, the
test always ran locally regardless of which environment was selected
> - This PR moves environments into a dedicated top-level company
settings section and wires the "Test Environment" button to run inside
the selected environment
> - The benefit is operators can find and manage environments more
easily, and the test button now validates the actual environment the
agent will use
## What Changed
- Added a dedicated `CompanyEnvironments` settings page with its own
route and sidebar entry
- Updated `CompanySettingsSidebar` and `CompanySettingsNav` to include
the new environments section
- Modified the agent test route (`POST /agents/:id/test`) to accept an
optional `environmentId` parameter
- Updated all adapter `test.ts` handlers to resolve and use the
specified execution target environment
- Added `resolveTestExecutionTarget` to `execution-target.ts` for remote
environment test resolution with cwd fallback
- Moved the "Test Environment" button and its feedback display into the
`NewAgent` page footer for better UX flow
## Verification
- `pnpm test` — all existing and new tests pass
- `pnpm typecheck` — clean
- Manual: navigate to Company Settings, confirm "Environments" appears
as a top-level section
- Manual: configure an agent with a non-local environment, click "Test
Environment", confirm the test runs inside that environment
## Risks
- Low risk. UI-only routing change for the settings page. The
test-in-environment change adds an optional parameter with a local
fallback, so existing behavior is preserved when no environment is
specified.
## Model Used
Codex GPT 5.4 high via Paperclip.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The `paperclip-dev` skill is the canonical reference agents read
before doing development work on the Paperclip repo itself
> - Today the skill assumes feature branches get pushed to `origin` (=
`paperclipai/paperclip`), which clutters the upstream branch list when
contributors actually have personal forks
> - This is the standard open-source contribution pattern (push to fork,
PR upstream) and the skill should reflect it
> - This pull request adds a "Forks — Prefer Pushing to a User Fork"
section that teaches agents to detect a fork remote, push there, and
only fall back to `origin` when no fork is configured
> - The benefit is cleaner upstream branch hygiene and behavior that
matches typical contributor workflows without any code/runtime change
## What Changed
- Added a new **Forks — Prefer Pushing to a User Fork** section to
`skills/paperclip-dev/SKILL.md` covering:
- How to detect a user fork via `git remote -v` (treat any
non-`paperclipai` GitHub remote as the fork)
- How to push to the fork (`git push -u <fork-remote> HEAD`)
- How to create the PR from the fork (`gh pr create --repo
paperclipai/paperclip --head <fork-owner>:<branch>`)
- The no-fork fallback (push to `origin`, do not auto-create a fork —
ask first)
- Keeping the fork's `master` in sync
- Added a reinforcing entry to the **Common Mistakes** table linking
back to the new section
## Verification
- Docs-only change to a single markdown skill file. Reviewer can confirm
by reading the diff in `skills/paperclip-dev/SKILL.md`:
- New `## Forks — Prefer Pushing to a User Fork` section sits between
`## Worktrees` and `## Pull Requests`
- New row appended to the `## Common Mistakes` table
- No tests, no build, no runtime behavior affected.
## Risks
- Low risk. Documentation-only edit. The instructions are advisory —
they only change agent behavior on future runs that read the skill.
## Model Used
- Provider: Anthropic (Claude)
- Model ID: `claude-opus-4-7` (Claude Opus 4)
- Capabilities: tool use (file read/edit, shell, git, gh CLI), extended
reasoning

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, and its
CLI import/export path is part of how operators move company state
safely between environments.
> - The `paperclipai company import/export` e2e test is supposed to
validate that portability flow inside a hermetic harness, not against a
developer's live Paperclip home.
> - This regression showed nested CLI subprocesses could silently fall
back to ambient `PAPERCLIP_*` state and mutate a real local instance by
creating extra companies such as `CLI-1-Roundtrip-Test`.
> - The first job was to pin the test subprocesses to isolated config,
home, instance, auth, and context paths, and to add a regression
assertion that proves the nested CLI writes stay inside the test-owned
state.
> - Once the PR was up, CI and Greptile exposed two follow-on issues
that were blocking merge: plugin SDK typecheck bootstrap was racing
across packages in fresh CI, and the new lock helper needed one more fix
to release its lock on failure.
> - This pull request therefore ends up doing two tightly related
things: fixing the original CLI isolation leak, and hardening the
supporting typecheck/bootstrap path enough for the fix to verify cleanly
in CI.
> - The benefit is that the portability e2e test is now actually
isolated, and the PR verification path is stable enough to catch
regressions instead of introducing its own nondeterministic failures.
## What Changed
- Hardened `cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts` so
nested CLI subprocesses re-seed isolated `PAPERCLIP_CONFIG`,
`PAPERCLIP_HOME`, `PAPERCLIP_INSTANCE_ID`, `PAPERCLIP_CONTEXT`,
`PAPERCLIP_AUTH_STORE`, and throwaway `HOME` values instead of falling
back to ambient machine state.
- Added a regression assertion around `paperclipai context set --json`,
then cleared the temporary `context.json` so the isolation check and the
later export/import flow stay independent.
- Passed the same isolated `HOME` into the server subprocess so both
sides of the e2e harness are symmetric.
- Introduced locking in `scripts/ensure-plugin-build-deps.mjs` and
switched the server/plugin example `typecheck` scripts to use that
helper instead of launching concurrent raw `@paperclipai/plugin-sdk`
builds.
- Fixed the helper failure path so it releases the lock before exiting
non-zero, which prevents stale-lock timeouts during parallel typecheck
runs.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts
--project paperclipai`
- `pnpm --filter paperclipai typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- PR checks now pass on the current head, including `policy`, `verify`,
`e2e`, `security/snyk`, and `Greptile Review`.
## Risks
- Low risk. The product-facing behavior change is scoped to test harness
code in the CLI e2e suite.
- The CI stabilization changes only affect bootstrap/typecheck helper
paths for the server and plugin/example packages, but they do touch
shared verification plumbing; the main risk is changing how fresh build
artifacts are prepared in local/CI typecheck runs.
## Model Used
- Anthropic Claude via Paperclip `claude_local`, model
`claude-opus-4-7`, high-effort local coding agent, used for the initial
implementation and first peer-reviewed verification.
- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip `codex_local`, model `gpt-5.4`, high
reasoning-effort local coding agent with tool use, used for CI triage,
Greptile follow-up fixes, verification, and PR maintenance.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The linked CI job is in the server test/recovery path, where
heartbeat runs and issue cleanup need to leave the control plane in a
consistent state even when retries fail.
> - In this case the failure was not runtime product behavior but test
teardown behavior inside `heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`.
> - The failing GitHub Actions job showed a foreign-key race on
`company_skills_company_id_companies_id_fk` while the test tried to
delete the parent company record.
> - The surrounding teardown code already uses bounded retry cleanup for
other dependent tables (`issues`, `heartbeatRuns`, and `agents`) because
this test file intentionally exercises asynchronous recovery flows.
> - This pull request applies that same retry pattern to the final
`db.delete(companies)` step, re-clearing `companySkills` before each
retry.
> - The benefit is a targeted fix for the CI flake without changing
runtime behavior or expanding the scope beyond the failing teardown
path.
## What Changed
- Wrapped the final `db.delete(companies)` call in
`server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` with the same
5-attempt retry pattern already used elsewhere in that teardown.
- Re-cleared `companySkills` before each company-delete retry so
late-arriving FK-dependent rows do not mask the real test result.
- Verified the fix against the originally failing
`heartbeat-process-recovery` test file and the broader `pnpm test:run`
command under CI-like env conditions.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`
- Re-ran `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` multiple times
locally; the previously failing teardown stayed green.
- `env -u PAPERCLIP_API_URL -u PAPERCLIP_RUNTIME_API_URL -u
PAPERCLIP_RUN_ID -u PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID -u PAPERCLIP_AGENT_ID -u
PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID -u PAPERCLIP_API_KEY -u PAPERCLIP_WAKE_REASON -u
PAPERCLIP_WAKE_COMMENT_ID -u PAPERCLIP_WAKE_PAYLOAD_JSON -u
PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_ID -u PAPERCLIP_APPROVAL_STATUS pnpm test:run`
## Risks
- Low risk. The change is test-only and scoped to teardown retry
behavior in a single server test file.
- If the underlying async cleanup behavior changes again, this test
could still become flaky in a different way, but this PR addresses the
specific FK race seen in the linked CI job.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Issue and comment rendering is part of the board UI where humans
supervise and inspect agent work.
> - External Paperclip issue URLs can appear in comments as references
to other runs, review threads, or remote test environments.
> - Those links must preserve their full destination, including origin,
port, and `#comment-...` fragments, or the operator is taken to the
wrong place.
> - The bug here was that absolute `http(s)` issue URLs were being
normalized into internal `/issues/...` routes in the markdown path.
> - This pull request stops rewriting absolute URLs while keeping
internal issue-reference behavior for relative paths and identifiers.
> - The benefit is that authored external links now navigate exactly
where the operator expects, especially for remote test and
comment-deep-link workflows.
## What Changed
- Stopped `ui/src/lib/issue-reference.ts` from treating absolute
`http(s)` URLs as internal issue paths.
- Added defense-in-depth in `ui/src/lib/mention-chips.ts` so absolute
`http(s)` URLs are never reclassified as issue mention chips.
- Updated `ui/src/lib/issue-reference.test.ts` to cover absolute
Paperclip URLs with preserved origin, port, and comment hash.
- Updated `ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx` to assert the
reported URL renders as an external link, not an internal `/issues/...`
href.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/issue-reference.test.ts
ui/src/components/MarkdownBody.test.tsx`
- Expected result: `2` files passed, `37` tests passed.
- Manual spot-check from the issue report path: a URL like
`http://remote.example.test:3103/PAPA/issues/PAPA-115#comment-...`
should remain an external link with its full destination preserved.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change narrows when Paperclip rewrites URLs, so the main
risk is if some existing workflow depended on absolute `http(s)`
Paperclip URLs being converted into internal issue links. The added
regression coverage is aimed at preventing that from regressing
silently.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane for AI-agent companies, so issue detail
pages are a primary surface for understanding agent work and human
feedback.
> - The relevant subsystem here is the issue comments/chat experience
across the React issue detail page and the server comment pagination
API.
> - Long issue threads were only surfacing the newest page of comments
at first render, which hid earlier human and agent messages behind extra
pagination.
> - The first UI fix exposed that the descending cursor path on the
server could also fail for older-page fetches, leaving the chat tab
stuck on an infinite "Loading earlier comments..." state.
> - This needed to be addressed in both layers so the chat tab can
surface earlier conversation history without manual recovery and without
server errors.
> - This pull request auto-loads earlier comment pages in the issue
detail chat view and fixes the descending cursor predicate used by issue
comment pagination.
> - The benefit is that long-running issues like `PAPA-103` now show the
missing conversation history near the top of the chat surface instead of
hiding it or failing to load it.
## What Changed
- Auto-load earlier issue comment pages in the issue detail chat tab
until the thread reaches a 150-comment cap or there are no older
comments left.
- Add UI-side guard logic and regression coverage for optimistic issue
comment pagination so the autoload behavior stops cleanly.
- Replace the raw SQL descending cursor predicate in
`issueService.listComments` with typed Drizzle comparisons for the
`(createdAt, id)` anchor tuple.
- Add a server regression test that paginates earlier comments in
descending order from an anchor comment.
- Smoke-test the exact previously failing seeded `PAPA-103` cursor path
on the isolated dev instance used for review.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Manual smoke against seeded `PAPA-103` data on the isolated dev
server:
- `GET /api/issues/PAPA-103/comments?order=desc&limit=50` returns `200`
- `GET
/api/issues/PAPA-103/comments?after=765d3609-edc6-4d11-a8fe-d466affbe85d&order=desc&limit=50`
now returns `200` with 50 comments instead of `500`
## Risks
- Moderate UI/perf risk on very large threads because the chat tab now
prefetches multiple earlier pages on mount; the cap is intentionally
limited to 150 comments to bound that work.
- Low API risk because the server fix only changes the cursor predicate
construction for anchor-based comment pagination, but any mistake there
would affect older-comment paging order.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md` before opening this PR and this bug fix does
not duplicate planned core work.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent in the Paperclip local adapter environment.
The exact backend model ID and context window were not exposed
in-session. Tool-assisted workflow included shell execution, git/GitHub
CLI, local test execution, and targeted code edits.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, so
authenticated board access has to be predictable across local and
worktree deployments.
> - This change sits in the authenticated-mode server startup and Better
Auth origin-trust wiring.
> - The original auth branch fixed one real gap by adding port-qualified
trusted origins for allowed hostnames on non-default ports.
> - Review of that branch found a second-order bug: trusted origins were
still derived from the configured port before startup detected the
actual listen port.
> - In isolated worktrees, that meant a common `3100 -> 3101` port shift
could still leave Better Auth trusting the stale origin.
> - This pull request keeps the original allowed-hostname port-variant
fix, then moves trust derivation onto the resolved listen port and adds
regression coverage around startup wiring.
> - The benefit is that authenticated sessions keep working on allowed
private hostnames even when Paperclip has to auto-shift to a different
local port.
## What Changed
- Added `:port` trusted-origin variants for authenticated-mode
`allowedHostnames` when Paperclip runs on non-default ports.
- Changed authenticated startup so `listenPort` is detected before
Better Auth initialization, and explicit auth base URLs are rewritten
before auth startup.
- Updated `deriveAuthTrustedOrigins()` to accept the resolved listen
port so Better Auth trusts the actual browser origin instead of the
stale configured port.
- Added focused regression coverage in
`server/src/__tests__/better-auth.test.ts` and
`server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/better-auth.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts`
- Reviewer re-check: reviewed commits `380f5b9f` and `092bb34c` after
the follow-up fix landed and found no remaining issues.
## Risks
- Low risk: this only affects authenticated-mode origin derivation and
startup ordering around detected listen ports.
- Main behavioral shift: startup no longer mutates `config.port` to the
selected port; it now carries `requestedListenPort` separately and uses
`listenPort` where runtime behavior needs the resolved value.
- If another path was implicitly relying on `config.port` being
overwritten during startup, that path would need follow-up, though the
current startup/test coverage did not reveal one.
> I checked `ROADMAP.md` and did not find an overlapping planned core
work item for this auth trusted-origin port handling fix.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` agents for implementation and
review. Exact backend model ID/context window were not surfaced in this
run context; work was performed through the Codex local adapter with
tool use, code execution, and review passes.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane for autonomous agent companies, so its
local and authenticated deployment behavior has to stay predictable
under port rebinding and worktree isolation.
> - This change sits in the server/worktree configuration path that
derives runtime URLs and auth origins from `auth.publicBaseUrl`.
> - The original hostname-port rewrite change fixed one real gap for
private/tailnet host:port worktree setups, but it widened the rewrite
rule too far.
> - Rewriting every explicit `auth.publicBaseUrl` can corrupt public or
reverse-proxy URLs by turning a stable origin like
`https://paperclip.example` into a local listen-port URL.
> - Paperclip's auth and trusted-origin handling depend on that URL
staying semantically correct, so this had to be narrowed before merge.
> - This pull request tightens the rewrite rule to explicit-port URLs
only and adds regression coverage across the CLI helper, worktree config
persistence, and server startup path.
> - The benefit is that private host:port worktree flows still work,
while public/default-port URLs remain stable and safe.
## What Changed
- Tightened `rewriteLocalUrlPort` in `cli/src/commands/worktree-lib.ts`,
`server/src/worktree-config.ts`, and `server/src/index.ts` so it only
rewrites URLs that already include an explicit port.
- Removed the old loopback-only hostname gate from the CLI/worktree
helpers and replaced it with the more precise `parsed.port` guard.
- Updated CLI helper coverage to assert that explicit-port non-loopback
URLs still rewrite while no-port public URLs stay unchanged.
- Expanded `server/src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts` to cover
explicit-port rewrite and no-port stability for both persisted worktree
config and in-memory runtime port selection.
- Added startup-path coverage in
`server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` for
`detect-port` rebinding with both explicit-port and no-port
`auth.publicBaseUrl` values.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk build`
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts`
- `npx vitest run cli/src/__tests__/worktree.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/worktree-config.test.ts`
- All of the above were run locally in this issue worktree and passed.
## Risks
- Low risk. The behavior change is deliberately narrower than the
reviewed broad-host rewrite and is guarded by regression coverage for
both the explicit-port and no-port cases.
- The main remaining risk is behavioral only if another code path starts
depending on port rewriting for URLs that never declared a port, which
would be a separate bug.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The local adapter layer is responsible for turning Paperclip runtime
context into the environment seen by the child agent process.
> - The CEO onboarding bundle tells the agent where to read and write
its persistent memory and fact files.
> - That bundle was using `./memory/...` and `./life/...`, which only
works when the process cwd happens to equal the agent home directory.
> - At the same time, six local adapters each duplicated the same
workspace-env propagation logic, including `AGENT_HOME`, which makes
this contract easy to drift.
> - This pull request fixes the CEO instructions to use
`$AGENT_HOME/...` and centralizes workspace-env propagation in one
shared helper with shared tests.
> - The benefit is a real bug fix for agent memory paths plus a single
tested contract that makes future built-in adapter work less likely to
forget `AGENT_HOME`.
## What Changed
- Updated `server/src/onboarding-assets/ceo/HEARTBEAT.md` to use
`$AGENT_HOME/memory/...` and `$AGENT_HOME/life/...` instead of
cwd-relative `./memory/...` and `./life/...`.
- Added `applyPaperclipWorkspaceEnv(...)` in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts` to centralize
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_*` and `AGENT_HOME` propagation.
- Added shared helper coverage in
`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts` for both populated and
skip-empty cases.
- Switched the built-in local adapters (`claude_local`, `codex_local`,
`cursor_local`, `gemini_local`, `opencode_local`, `pi_local`) over to
the shared helper instead of inline env assignment blocks.
## Verification
- `pnpm install`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/cursor-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/gemini-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/opencode-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
packages/adapters/pi-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts`
- Result: 7 test files passed, 31 tests passed, 0 failures.
## Risks
- Low risk.
- The only behavioral surface is the shared env propagation refactor
across six adapters; if the helper diverged from prior semantics, an
adapter could miss a workspace env var.
- The shared helper test plus the affected adapter execute tests reduce
that risk, and the helper preserves the prior "set only non-empty
strings" behavior.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip `codex_local` agent runtime; tool-assisted
coding workflow with shell execution, file patching, git operations, and
API interaction. The exact backend model identifier and context window
are not surfaced by this local runtime.

> - The `paperclip-dev` skill is part of the contributor and agent
workflow layer that tells developers how to work in this repository
safely.
> - That skill already references the public upstream `origin`, but it
did not explicitly say that pushes there must be treated as publishable
open-source output.
> - Without that reminder, contributors are more likely to leak secrets,
PII, private logs, machine-local config, or noisy throwaway git history
into the public repo.
> - This pull request adds a prominent `OPEN SOURCE HYGIENE` callout
near the top of the skill, before the git workflow guidance.
> - The benefit is clearer safety guidance for contributors and less
accidental disclosure or branch/commit noise on the upstream project.
## What Changed
- Added an `OPEN SOURCE HYGIENE` callout near the top of
`skills/paperclip-dev/SKILL.md`.
- Explicitly warned that anything pushed to `origin` must be
publishable.
- Called out avoiding secrets, API keys, PII, private logs,
machine-local config, and noisy throwaway branches or checkpoint
commits.
## Verification
- N/a
## Risks
- Low risk. This is a docs-only change in a skill file; the main risk is
wording tone or placement, not runtime behavior.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via the `codex_local` Paperclip adapter, GPT-5-based
coding agent runtime. Exact backend serving model ID is not exposed in
this heartbeat environment. Tool use, shell execution, and patch
application were enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents working on the Paperclip codebase itself need guidance on dev
workflows: server lifecycle, worktrees, builds, database ops,
diagnostics
> - There was no bundled skill covering these workflows — agents had to
figure it out from scratch each time
> - Additionally, not every skill should be force-installed on every
agent — a dev-focused skill should be opt-in
> - This PR adds a `paperclip-dev` skill with `required: false`
frontmatter so it ships with Paperclip but isn't auto-installed
> - The skill's PR section references canonical files
(`.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`) instead of
duplicating their content, with gated instructions that force agents to
read those files before creating any PR
> - The benefit is that developers (human or agent) can opt in to
structured dev guidance without polluting the default agent skill set or
creating drift between duplicated docs
## What Changed
- Added `skills/paperclip-dev/SKILL.md` covering server management,
worktree lifecycle, builds, database ops, diagnostics, agent operations,
and common mistakes
- The Pull Requests section uses gated, reference-based instructions —
agents MUST read `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` and
`CONTRIBUTING.md` before running `gh pr create`, with a brief checklist
of required section names (no content duplication)
- Updated `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts` to respect
`required: false` frontmatter — optional skills are bundled but not
auto-installed on agents
- Added test in `server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts`
verifying that optional skills are excluded from the default install set
## Verification
```bash
# Run tests
pnpm test
# Manual verification: create a fresh worktree without seeding
npx paperclipai worktree:make test-optional-skill --no-seed
cd ~/paperclip-test-optional-skill
eval "$(npx paperclipai worktree env)"
npx paperclipai run
# Verify paperclip-dev appears in company skill library but is NOT auto-assigned
# Call listPaperclipSkillEntries() — paperclip-dev should show required: false
# Call resolvePaperclipDesiredSkillNames() — paperclip-dev should NOT be in the default set
# Cleanup
npx paperclipai worktree:cleanup test-optional-skill
```
## Risks
- Low risk. The `required` field defaults to `true` when absent, so all
existing skills behave identically. Only the new `paperclip-dev` skill
sets `required: false`.
## Model Used
Claude Opus 4.6 (`claude-opus-4-6`) via Claude Code, with tool use and
extended context.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, and the
sandbox-provider work just moved E2B into a standalone publishable
plugin package.
> - That plugin is intentionally excluded from the root pnpm workspace
so it can model third-party install behavior without forcing lockfile
churn in the main repo.
> - The merged architecture change exposed a follow-up release problem:
the canary publish workflow tried to publish `@paperclipai/plugin-e2b`,
but the tarball had no `dist/` payload because standalone public
packages were not being built in the release path.
> - That means the release pipeline needed a packaging fix in core
release tooling, not another architectural change in the sandbox
provider itself.
> - This pull request adds a generic release step for public packages
that live outside the pnpm workspace, instead of hardcoding E2B-specific
behavior into the release script.
> - The benefit is that standalone publishable packages can be built and
packed correctly during release, including future sandbox-provider
plugins that follow the same pattern.
## What Changed
- Added `scripts/build-standalone-public-packages.mjs` to discover
public packages outside the pnpm workspace, run a clean package-local
install, and build them before publish.
- Updated `scripts/release.sh` to invoke that helper immediately after
the normal workspace build step.
- Kept the behavior generic by driving off the existing public package
map and pnpm workspace patterns rather than special-casing
`@paperclipai/plugin-e2b`.
## Verification
- `rm -rf packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/e2b/dist`
- `node ./scripts/build-standalone-public-packages.mjs`
- `cd packages/plugins/sandbox-providers/e2b && npm pack --dry-run`
- Confirm the tarball now includes the rebuilt `dist/` files instead of
only `README.md` / `package.json`
## Risks
- Low risk: this only changes the release build path for public packages
outside the pnpm workspace.
- The helper performs a clean package-local install for each standalone
public package, so release time may increase slightly as more such
packages are added.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Sandbox environments are part of that execution layer, and the
recent core refactor moved provider-specific behavior to a generic
plugin seam
> - This pull request adds a dedicated `@paperclipai/plugin-e2b` package
so E2B can live entirely outside core host code
> - Because the feature is still unreleased, the plugin should model
third-party packaging directly instead of carrying extra
backward-compatibility complexity in core or the workspace lockfile
> - This branch therefore makes the E2B provider a standalone
publishable package, documents the package-local dev flow, and keeps the
publish manifest/runtime dependency story correct
> - The benefit is that E2B becomes a true plugin reference
implementation that can be installed by package name without reopening
core Paperclip code
## What Changed
- Added `packages/plugins/paperclip-plugin-e2b` as the E2B sandbox
provider plugin package
- Implemented config validation, lease acquire/resume/release/destroy
handlers, workspace realization, and command execution for E2B sandboxes
- Excluded the E2B plugin package from the root workspace so the repo no
longer needs `pnpm-lock.yaml` churn for its third-party dependency graph
- Added package-local development/install support plus a prepack
manifest generator so the published tarball still declares
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk` and `e2b` runtime dependencies
- Addressed review feedback by fixing sandbox cleanup on acquire
failures, rejecting blank templates, normalizing fractional `timeoutMs`,
and always passing the configured template name to the E2B SDK
- Updated focused Vitest coverage for config normalization, validation,
acquire cleanup, command execution, and lease release behavior
- Updated the Dockerfile deps stage to copy the E2B package manifest so
the policy check stays in sync
## Verification
- `cd packages/plugins/paperclip-plugin-e2b && pnpm install
--ignore-workspace --no-lockfile`
- `cd packages/plugins/paperclip-plugin-e2b && pnpm build`
- `cd packages/plugins/paperclip-plugin-e2b && pnpm --ignore-workspace
test`
- `cd packages/plugins/paperclip-plugin-e2b && pnpm --ignore-workspace
typecheck`
- `cd packages/plugins/paperclip-plugin-e2b && npm pack --dry-run`
## Risks
- The package now relies on a prepack manifest rewrite so the
publish-time dependency list stays correct while the repo-local dev
manifest stays workspace-light
- The current repo snapshot is still unreleased, so the generated
publish manifest points at the repo SDK version until the normal release
flow rewrites versions before publish
- Real-world E2B environments may still expose edge cases around
lifecycle timing or sandbox metadata beyond the mocked unit coverage

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is a control plane, so optional execution providers should
sit at the plugin edge instead of hardcoding provider-specific behavior
into core shared/server/ui layers.
> - Sandbox environments are already first-class, and the fake provider
proves the built-in path; the remaining gap was that real providers
still leaked provider-specific config and runtime assumptions into core.
> - That coupling showed up in config normalization, secret persistence,
capabilities reporting, lease reconstruction, and the board UI form
fields.
> - As long as core knew about those provider-shaped details, shipping a
provider as a pure third-party plugin meant every new provider would
still require host changes.
> - This pull request generalizes the sandbox provider seam around
schema-driven plugin metadata and generic secret-ref handling.
> - The runtime and UI now consume provider metadata generically, so
core only special-cases the built-in fake provider while third-party
providers can live entirely in plugins.
## What Changed
- Added generic sandbox-provider capability metadata so plugin-backed
providers can expose `configSchema` through shared environment support
and the environments capabilities API.
- Reworked sandbox config normalization/persistence/runtime resolution
to handle schema-declared secret-ref fields generically, storing them as
Paperclip secrets and resolving them for probe/execute/release flows.
- Generalized plugin sandbox runtime handling so provider validation,
reusable-lease matching, lease reconstruction, and plugin worker calls
all operate on provider-agnostic config instead of provider-shaped
branches.
- Replaced hardcoded sandbox provider form fields in Company Settings
with schema-driven rendering and blocked agent environment selection
from the built-in fake provider.
- Added regression coverage for the generic seam across shared support
helpers plus environment config, probe, routes, runtime, and
sandbox-provider runtime tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest --run packages/shared/src/environment-support.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-config.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-probe.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/sandbox-provider-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
## Risks
- Plugin sandbox providers now depend more heavily on accurate
`configSchema` declarations; incorrect schemas can misclassify
secret-bearing fields or omit required config.
- Reusable lease matching is now metadata-driven for plugin-backed
providers, so providers that fail to persist stable metadata may
reprovision instead of resuming an existing lease.
- The UI form is now fully schema-driven for plugin-backed sandbox
providers; provider manifests without good defaults or descriptions may
produce a rougher operator experience.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - The environment/runtime layer decides where agent work executes and
how the control plane reaches those runtimes.
> - Today Paperclip can run locally and over SSH, but sandboxed
execution needs a first-class environment model instead of one-off
adapter behavior.
> - We also want sandbox providers to be pluggable so the core does not
hardcode every provider implementation.
> - This branch adds the Sandbox environment path, the provider
contract, and a deterministic fake provider plugin.
> - That required synchronized changes across shared contracts, plugin
SDK surfaces, server runtime orchestration, and the UI
environment/workspace flows.
> - The result is that sandbox execution becomes a core control-plane
capability while keeping provider implementations extensible and
testable.
## What Changed
- Added sandbox runtime support to the environment execution path,
including runtime URL discovery, sandbox execution targeting,
orchestration, and heartbeat integration.
- Added plugin-provider support for sandbox environments so providers
can be supplied via plugins instead of hardcoded server logic.
- Added the fake sandbox provider plugin with deterministic behavior
suitable for local and automated testing.
- Updated shared types, validators, plugin protocol definitions, and SDK
helpers to carry sandbox provider and workspace-runtime contracts across
package boundaries.
- Updated server routes and services so companies can create sandbox
environments, select them for work, and execute work through the sandbox
runtime path.
- Updated the UI environment and workspace surfaces to expose sandbox
environment configuration and selection.
- Added test coverage for sandbox runtime behavior, provider seams,
environment route guards, orchestration, and the fake provider plugin.
## Verification
- Ran locally before the final fixture-only scrub:
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`
- Ran locally after the final scrub amend:
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/runtime-api.test.ts`
- Reviewer spot checks:
- create a sandbox environment backed by the fake provider plugin
- run work through that environment
- confirm sandbox provider execution does not inherit host secrets
implicitly
## Risks
- This touches shared contracts, plugin SDK plumbing, server runtime
orchestration, and UI environment/workspace flows, so regressions would
likely show up as cross-layer mismatches rather than isolated type
errors.
- Runtime URL discovery and sandbox callback selection are sensitive to
host/bind configuration; if that logic is wrong, sandbox-backed
callbacks may fail even when execution succeeds.
- The fake provider plugin is intentionally deterministic and
test-oriented; future providers may expose capability gaps that this
branch does not yet cover.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex coding agent on a GPT-5-class backend in the
Paperclip/Codex harness. Exact backend model ID is not exposed
in-session. Tool-assisted workflow with shell execution, file editing,
git history inspection, and local test execution.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The environments subsystem already models execution environments,
but before this branch there was no end-to-end SSH-backed runtime path
for agents to actually run work against a remote box
> - That meant agents could be configured around environment concepts
without a reliable way to execute adapter sessions remotely, sync
workspace state, and preserve run context across supported adapters
> - We also need environment selection to participate in normal
Paperclip control-plane behavior: agent defaults, project/issue
selection, route validation, and environment probing
> - Because this capability is still experimental, the UI surface should
be easy to hide and easy to remove later without undoing the underlying
implementation
> - This pull request adds SSH environment execution support across the
runtime, adapters, routes, schema, and tests, then puts the visible
environment-management UI behind an experimental flag
> - The benefit is that we can validate real SSH-backed agent execution
now while keeping the user-facing controls safely gated until the
feature is ready to come out of experimentation
## What Changed
- Added SSH-backed execution target support in the shared adapter
runtime, including remote workspace preparation, skill/runtime asset
sync, remote session handling, and workspace restore behavior after
runs.
- Added SSH execution coverage for supported local adapters, plus remote
execution tests across Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenCode, and Pi.
- Added environment selection and environment-management backend support
needed for SSH execution, including route/service work, validation,
probing, and agent default environment persistence.
- Added CLI support for SSH environment lab verification and updated
related docs/tests.
- Added the `enableEnvironments` experimental flag and gated the
environment UI behind it on company settings, agent configuration, and
project configuration surfaces.
## Verification

ui/src/lib/new-agent-runtime-config.test.ts`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Manual verification on a branch-local dev server:
- enabled the experimental flag
- created an SSH environment
- created a Linux Claude agent using that environment
- confirmed a run executed on the Linux box and synced workspace changes
back
## Risks
- Medium: this touches runtime execution flow across multiple adapters,
so regressions would likely show up in remote session setup, workspace
sync, or environment selection precedence.
- The UI flag reduces exposure, but the underlying runtime and route
changes are still substantial and rely on migration correctness.
- The change set is broad across adapters, control-plane services,
migrations, and UI gating, so review should pay close attention to
environment-selection precedence and remote workspace lifecycle
behavior.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex via Paperclip's local Codex adapter, GPT-5-class coding
model with tool use and code execution in the local repo workspace. The
local adapter does not surface a more specific public model version
string in this branch workflow.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Every heartbeat run needs a concrete place where the agent's adapter
process executes.
> - Today that execution location is implicitly the local machine, which
makes it hard to track, audit, and manage as a first-class runtime
concern.
> - The first step is to represent the current local execution path
explicitly without changing how users experience agent runs.
> - This pull request adds core Environment and Environment Lease
records, then routes existing local heartbeat execution through a
default `Local` environment.
> - The benefit is that local runs remain behavior-preserving while the
system now has durable environment identity, lease lifecycle tracking,
and activity records for execution placement.
## What Changed
- Added `environments` and `environment_leases` database tables, schema
exports, and migration `0065_environments.sql`.
- Added shared environment constants, TypeScript types, and validators
for environment drivers, statuses, lease policies, lease statuses, and
cleanup states.
- Added `environmentService` for listing, reading, creating, updating,
and ensuring company-scoped environments.
- Added environment lease lifecycle operations for acquire, metadata
update, single-lease release, and run-wide release.
- Updated heartbeat execution to lazily ensure a company-scoped default
`Local` environment before adapter execution.
- Updated heartbeat execution to acquire an ephemeral local environment
lease, write `paperclipEnvironment` into the run context snapshot, and
release active leases during run finalization.
- Added activity log events for environment lease acquisition and
release.
- Added tests for environment service behavior and the local heartbeat
environment lifecycle.
- Added a CI-follow-up heartbeat guard so deferred issue comment wakes
are promoted before automatic missing-comment retries, with focused
batching test coverage.
## Verification
Local verification run for this branch:
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-local-environment.test.ts --pool=forks`
Additional reviewer/CI verification:
- Confirm `pnpm-lock.yaml` is not modified.
- Confirm `pnpm test:run` passes in CI.
- Confirm `PAPERCLIP_E2E_SKIP_LLM=true pnpm run test:e2e` passes in CI.
- Confirm a local heartbeat run creates one active `Local` environment
when needed, records one lease for the run, releases the lease when the
run finishes, and includes `paperclipEnvironment` in the run context
snapshot.
Screenshots: not applicable; this PR has no UI changes.
## Risks
- Migration risk: introduces two new tables and a new migration journal
entry. Review should verify company scoping, indexes, foreign keys, and
enum defaults are correct.
- Lifecycle risk: heartbeat finalization now releases environment leases
in addition to existing runtime cleanup. A finalization bug could leave
stale active leases or mark a failed run's lease incorrectly.
- Behavior-preservation risk: local adapter execution should remain
unchanged apart from environment bookkeeping. Review should pay
attention to the heartbeat path around context snapshot updates and
final cleanup ordering.
- Activity volume risk: each heartbeat run now logs lease acquisition
and release events, increasing activity log volume by two records per
run.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-5.4 via Codex CLI. Capabilities used: repository inspection,
TypeScript implementation review, local test/build execution, and
PR-description drafting.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - As the project grows, more contributors want to build features —
which is great
> - Without a public roadmap or clear contribution guidance,
contributors spend time on PRs that overlap with planned core work
> - This creates frustration on both sides when those PRs can't be
merged
> - This PR publishes a roadmap, updates the contribution guide with a
clear path for feature proposals, and reinforces the workflow in the PR
template
> - The benefit is that contributors know exactly how to propose
features and where to focus for the highest-impact contributions
## What Changed
- Added `ROADMAP.md` with expanded descriptions of all shipped and
planned milestones, plus guidance on coordinating feature contributions
- Added "Feature Contributions" section to `CONTRIBUTING.md` explaining
how to propose features (check roadmap → discuss in #dev → consider the
plugin system)
- Updated `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` with a callout linking to
the roadmap and a new checklist item to check for overlap with planned
work, while preserving the newer required `Model Used` section from
`master`
- Added `Memory / Knowledge` to the README roadmap preview and linked
the preview to the full `ROADMAP.md`
## Verification
- Open `ROADMAP.md` on GitHub and confirm it renders correctly with all
milestone sections
- Read the new "Feature Contributions" section in `CONTRIBUTING.md` and
verify all links resolve
- Open a new PR and confirm the template shows the roadmap callout and
the new checklist item
- Verify README links to `ROADMAP.md` and the roadmap preview includes
"Memory / Knowledge"
## Risks
- Docs-only change — no runtime or behavioral impact
- Contribution policy changes were written to be constructive and to
offer clear alternative paths (plugins, coordination via #dev, reference
implementations as feedback)
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex local agent (GPT-5-based coding model; exact runtime
model ID is not exposed in this environment)
- Tool use enabled for shell, git, GitHub CLI, and patch application
- Used to rebase the branch, resolve merge conflicts, update the PR
metadata, and verify the repo state

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Board users and agents collaborate on issue-scoped documents such as
plans and revisions need to be trustworthy because they are the audit
trail for those artifacts.
> - The issue document UI now supports revision history and restore, so
the UI has to distinguish the current revision from historical revisions
correctly even while multiple queries are refreshing.
> - In `PAPA-72`, the newest content could appear under an older
revision label because the current document snapshot and the
revision-history query could temporarily disagree after an edit.
> - That made the UI treat the newest revision like a historical restore
target, which is the opposite of the intended behavior.
> - This pull request derives one authoritative revision view from both
sources, sorts revisions newest-first, and keeps the freshest revision
marked current.
> - The benefit is that revision history stays stable and trustworthy
immediately after edits instead of briefly presenting the newest content
as an older revision.

- Added a `document-revisions` helper that merges the current document
snapshot with fetched revision history into one normalized revision
state.
- Updated `IssueDocumentsSection` to render from that normalized state
instead of trusting either query in isolation.
- Added focused tests covering the current-revision selection and
ordering behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Targeted revision tests passed locally.
- Manual reviewer check:
- Open an issue document with revision history.
- Edit and save the document.
- Immediately open the revision selector.
- Confirm the newest revision remains marked current and older revisions
remain the restore targets.
## Risks
- Low risk. The change is isolated to issue document revision
presentation in the UI.
- Main risk is merging the current snapshot with fetched history
incorrectly for edge cases, which is why the helper has focused unit
coverage.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The company import/export e2e exercises the local CLI startup path
that boots the dev server inside a workspace
> - That startup path loads server and plugin code which depends on
built workspace package artifacts such as `@paperclipai/shared` and
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk`
> - In a clean worktree those `dist/*` artifacts may not exist yet even
though `paperclipai run` can still attempt to import the local server
entry
> - That mismatch caused the import/export e2e to fail before the actual
company package flow ran
> - This pull request adds a CLI preflight step that prepares the needed
workspace build dependencies before the local server import and fails
closed if that preflight is interrupted or stalls
> - The benefit is that clean worktrees can boot `paperclipai run`
reliably without silently continuing after incomplete dependency
preparation
## What Changed
- Updated `cli/src/commands/run.ts` to execute
`scripts/ensure-plugin-build-deps.mjs` before importing
`server/src/index.ts` for local dev startup.
- Ensured `paperclipai run` can materialize missing workspace artifacts
such as `packages/shared/dist` and `packages/plugins/sdk/dist`
automatically in clean worktrees.
- Made the preflight fail closed when the child process exits via signal
and bounded it with a 120-second timeout so the CLI does not hang
indefinitely.
- Kept the fix isolated to the CLI startup path; no API contract,
schema, or UI behavior changed.
- Reused the existing
`cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts` coverage that
already exercises the failing boot path, so no additional test file was
needed.
## Verification
- `pnpm test:run cli/src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter paperclipai typecheck`
- On the isolated branch, confirmed `packages/shared/dist/index.js` and
`packages/plugins/sdk/dist/index.js` were absent before the run, then
reran the targeted e2e and observed a passing result.
## Risks
- Low risk: the change only affects the local CLI dev startup path
before the server import.
- Residual risk: other entrypoints still rely on their own
preflight/build behavior, so this does not normalize every workspace
startup path.
- The 120-second timeout is intentionally generous, but unusually slow
machines could still hit it and surface a startup error instead of
waiting forever.
## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent in the Codex CLI environment,
with shell/tool execution enabled. The exact runtime revision and
context window are not exposed by this environment.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The issue detail page displays comment threads with rich timeline
rendering
> - Long threads (100+ items) cause severe typing lag in the comment
composer because every keystroke re-renders the entire timeline
> - CDP tracing confirmed 110ms avg key→paint latency and 60 long tasks
blocking the main thread for 3.7s total
> - This pull request memoizes the timeline, stabilizes callback props,
debounces editor observers, and reduces idle polling frequency
> - The benefit is responsive typing (21ms avg, 5.3× faster) even on
threads with 100+ timeline items
## What Changed
- **CommentThread.tsx**: Memoize `TimelineList` with `useMemo` so typing
state changes don't re-render 143 timeline items; extract
`handleFeedbackVote` to `useCallback`; added missing deps
(`pendingApprovalAction`, `onApproveApproval`, `onRejectApproval`) to
useMemo array
- **IssueDetail.tsx**: Extract inline callbacks (`handleCommentAdd`,
`handleCommentVote`, `handleCommentImageUpload`,
`handleCommentAttachImage`, `handleInterruptQueued`) to `useCallback`
with `.mutateAsync` deps (not full mutation objects) for stable
references; add conditional polling intervals (3s active / 30s idle) for
`liveRuns`, `activeRun`, `linkedRuns`, and timeline queries
- **MarkdownEditor.tsx**: Debounce `MutationObserver` and
`selectionchange` handlers via `requestAnimationFrame` coalescing
- **LiveRunWidget.tsx**: Accept optional `liveRunsData` and
`activeRunData` props to reuse parent-fetched data instead of duplicate
polling
## Verification
- Navigated to [IP address]:3105/PAPA/issues/PAPA-32 (thread with 100+
items)
- Typed in comment composer — lag eliminated, characters appear
instantly
- CDP trace test script (`test-typing-lag.mjs`) confirmed: avg 21ms
key→paint (was 110ms), 5 long tasks (was 60), 0.5s blocking (was 3.7s)
- Ran `pnpm test:run` locally — all tests pass
## Risks
- Low risk. All changes are additive memoization and callback
stabilization — no behavioral changes. Polling intervals are only
reduced for idle state; active runs still poll at 3–5s.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents create pull requests as part of their development workflow
> - The PR template already has a "Model Used" section (added in PR
#2552)
> - But agents were not filling it in because neither AGENTS.md nor
CONTRIBUTING.md referenced it
> - This PR updates both docs to explicitly require reading and filling
in the full PR template, including Model Used
> - The benefit is that every PR will now document which AI model
produced the change, improving traceability and auditability
## What Changed
- **CONTRIBUTING.md**: Added "Model Used (Required)" subsection under
"PR Requirements (all PRs)" and listed it in the required sections
enumeration
- **AGENTS.md**: Added new "Section 10: Pull Request Requirements"
instructing agents to read and fill in every section of the PR template
when creating PRs (including Model Used). Renumbered "Definition of
Done" to Section 11 and added PR template compliance as item 5.
## Verification
- Review `CONTRIBUTING.md` — confirm "Model Used (Required)" subsection
appears under PR Requirements
- Review `AGENTS.md` — confirm Section 10 (Pull Request Requirements)
lists all required PR template sections including Model Used
- Review `AGENTS.md` — confirm Definition of Done item 5 references PR
template compliance
- No code changes, no tests to run
## Risks
- Low risk — documentation-only changes. No code, schema, or behavioral
changes.
## Model Used
- **Provider**: Anthropic Claude
- **Model ID**: claude-opus-4-6 (1M context)

Greptile flagged that worked examples in task-workflow.md and
api-reference.md still used ["todo"] instead of the full
expectedStatuses array. Aligned them with the rest of the PR.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The inline markdown editor (MarkdownEditor / MDXEditor) is used to
edit agent instructions, issue descriptions, and other content
> - When users paste agent instructions copied from terminals or
consoles, extra leading whitespace is uniformly added to every line
> - PR #2572 fixed markdown structure preservation on paste but did not
address the leading whitespace (dedent) problem
> - This pull request adds a Lexical paste normalization plugin that
strips common leading whitespace and normalizes line endings before
MDXEditor processes pasted content
> - The benefit is that pasted content from terminals/consoles renders
correctly without manual cleanup
## What Changed
- **`ui/src/lib/normalize-markdown.ts`** — Pure utility that computes
minimum common indentation across non-empty lines and strips it
(dedent), plus CRLF → LF normalization
- **`ui/src/lib/paste-normalization.ts`** — Lexical `PASTE_COMMAND`
plugin at `CRITICAL` priority that intercepts plain-text pastes,
normalizes the markdown, and re-dispatches cleaned content for MDXEditor
to process. Skips HTML-rich pastes.
- **`ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.tsx`** — Registers the new plugin;
updates PR #2572's `handlePasteCapture` to use `normalizeMarkdown()`
(dedent + CRLF) instead of `normalizePastedMarkdown()` (CRLF only) for
the markdown-routing path
- **`ui/src/lib/paste-normalization.test.ts`** — 9 unit tests covering
dedent, CRLF normalization, mixed indent, empty lines, single-line
passthrough, and edge cases
## Verification
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run src/lib/paste-normalization.test.ts` —
9 tests pass
- Manual: paste indented agent instructions from a terminal into any
inline markdown editor and confirm leading whitespace is stripped
## Risks
- Low risk. The plugin only activates for plain-text pastes (no HTML
clipboard data). HTML/rich pastes pass through unchanged. Single-line
pastes are not modified. The dedent logic is conservative — it only
strips whitespace common to all non-empty lines.

The PII sanitizer's phone regex matches digit pairs like "4880-8614"
that span UUID segment boundaries. Random UUIDs occasionally produce
these patterns, causing flaky test failures where sourceRun.id gets
partially redacted as [REDACTED_PHONE].
Use a fixed hex-letter-heavy UUID for runId so no cross-boundary
digit sequence triggers the phone pattern.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents sometimes need to capture UI screenshots for visual
verification of fixes
> - The Paperclip UI requires authentication, so headless browser
screenshots fail without auth
> - The CLI already stores a board token in `~/.paperclip/auth.json`
> - This pull request adds a Playwright-based screenshot script that
reads the board token and injects it as a Bearer header
> - The benefit is agents can now take authenticated screenshots of any
Paperclip UI page without storing email/password credentials
## What Changed
- Added `scripts/screenshot.cjs` — a Node.js script that:
- Reads the board token from `~/.paperclip/auth.json`
- Launches Chromium via Playwright with the token as an `Authorization`
header
- Navigates to the specified URL and saves a screenshot
- Supports `--width`, `--height`, and `--wait` flags
- Accepts both full URLs and path-only shortcuts (e.g.,
`/PAPA/agents/cto/instructions`)
## Verification
```bash
node scripts/screenshot.cjs /PAPA/agents/cto/instructions /tmp/test.png --width 1920
```
Should produce an authenticated screenshot of the agent instructions
page.
## Risks
- Low risk — standalone utility script with no impact on the main
application. Requires Playwright (already a dev dependency) and a valid
board token in `~/.paperclip/auth.json`.

Root cause: when someone commented on an in_review task, the heartbeat
wakeup was triggered but the agent couldn't re-checkout the task because
expectedStatuses only included todo/backlog/blocked. The in_review status
was never handled in the checkout flow or the heartbeat procedure.
Changes:
- Add wakeCommentId to issue_commented and issue_reopened_via_comment
context snapshots (consistent with issue_comment_mentioned)
- Add in_review to checkout expectedStatuses in heartbeat skill
- Update Step 3 fallback query to include in_review status
- Update Step 4 to prioritize in_review tasks when woken by comment
- Add explicit issue_commented wake reason handling in Step 4

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The web UI includes an agent detail page with an Instructions tab
for editing agent prompts
> - The Instructions tab used `max-w-6xl` (1152px) to constrain its
two-panel layout (file tree + editor)
> - The floating Cancel/Save buttons used `float-right` at the full page
width, disconnecting them from the constrained content
> - This also left a large empty margin on the right side at wider
viewports
> - This pull request removes `max-w-6xl` so the flex layout fills
available width
> - The benefit is buttons now align with the content edge, and the
right margin is eliminated
## What Changed
- Removed `max-w-6xl` from the `PromptsTab` container in
`ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx:1920`
- The file panel + editor flex layout now fills the available page width
naturally
## Verification
- Navigate to any agent's Instructions tab at a wide viewport (1920px+)
- Before: content stops at 1152px with a gap to the right; Cancel/Save
buttons float to the far edge
- After: content fills available width; Cancel/Save buttons sit flush
with the editor panel
## Risks
- Low risk — only removes a max-width constraint on a single tab's
container. Other tabs (Configuration, Skills, etc.) are unaffected.
## CI Note
The test failure in `feedback-service.test.ts:714` is **pre-existing**
and unrelated to this change. A PII redaction filter is incorrectly
treating a UUID segment (`5618-4783`) as a phone number, producing
`[REDACTED_PHONE]` in the expected UUID value.

## What Changed
- Added a new "PR Requirements (all PRs)" section to CONTRIBUTING.md
with three subsections:
- **Use the PR Template** — links to `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`
and explains it must be used even when creating PRs outside the GitHub
UI

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The UI includes an inline markdown editor (MDXEditor) for editing
agent instruction files like AGENTS.md
> - The editor should render in monospace to match how markdown/code
files look in a text editor
> - The `AgentDetail.tsx` component already passes `font-mono` via
Tailwind's `contentClassName`, but it wasn't taking effect
> - Two CSS rules in `index.css` set `font-family: inherit`, which
overrode the Tailwind utility due to specificity/source order
> - This PR removes those overrides so `font-mono` applies correctly
> - The benefit is the markdown editor now renders in monospace
(Menlo/SF Mono), matching user expectations for code/config files
## What Changed
- Removed `font-family: inherit` from `.paperclip-mdxeditor
[class*="_placeholder_"]` in `ui/src/index.css`
- Removed `font-family: inherit` from `.paperclip-mdxeditor-content` in
`ui/src/index.css`
## Verification
- Navigate to any agent's Instructions tab in the Paperclip UI
- Confirm the markdown editor content renders in a monospace font
(Menlo/SF Mono)
- Visually verified by user on a live dev server
## Risks
- Low risk. Only removes two CSS declarations. Non-monospace editors are
unaffected since `font-mono` is only applied to agent instruction files
via `contentClassName` in `AgentDetail.tsx`.

Add a required "Model Used" section to the PR template so contributors
document which AI model (with version, context window, reasoning mode,
and other capability details) was used for each change. Also adds a
corresponding checklist item.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The GitHub repository uses CODEOWNERS to enforce review requirements on critical files
> - Currently only release scripts and CI config are protected — package manifests are not
> - Dependency changes (package.json, lockfile) can introduce supply-chain risk if merged without review
> - This PR adds all package files to CODEOWNERS
> - The benefit is that any dependency change now requires explicit approval from maintainers
## What Changed
- Added root package manifest files (`package.json`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`, `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, `.npmrc`) to CODEOWNERS
- Added all 19 workspace `package.json` files (`cli/`, `server/`, `ui/`, `packages/*`) to CODEOWNERS
- All entries owned by `@cryppadotta` and `@devinfoley`, consistent with existing release infrastructure ownership
## Verification
- `gh api repos/paperclipai/paperclip/contents/.github/CODEOWNERS?ref=PAPA-41-add-package-files-to-codeowners` to inspect the file
- Open a test PR touching any `package.json` and confirm GitHub requests review from the listed owners
## Risks
- Low risk. CODEOWNERS only adds review requirements — does not block merges unless branch protection enforces it. New packages added in the future will need a corresponding CODEOWNERS entry.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The UI serves agent management pages including an instructions editor with copy-to-clipboard buttons
> - The Clipboard API (`navigator.clipboard.writeText`) requires a secure context (HTTPS or localhost)
> - Users accessing the UI over HTTP on a LAN IP get "Copy failed" when clicking the copy icon
> - This pull request adds an `execCommand("copy")` fallback in `CopyText` for non-secure contexts
> - The benefit is that copy buttons work reliably regardless of whether the page is served over HTTPS or plain HTTP
## What Changed
- `ui/src/components/CopyText.tsx`: Added `window.isSecureContext` check before using `navigator.clipboard`. When unavailable, falls back to creating a temporary `<textarea>`, selecting its content, and using `document.execCommand("copy")`. The return value is checked and the DOM element is cleaned up via `try/finally`.
## Verification
- Access the UI over HTTP on a non-localhost IP (e.g. `http://[local-ip]:3100`)
- Navigate to any agent's instructions page → Advanced → click the copy icon next to Root path
- Should show "Copied!" tooltip and the path should be on the clipboard
## Risks
- Low risk. `execCommand("copy")` is deprecated in the spec but universally supported by all major browsers. The fallback only activates in non-secure contexts where the modern API is unavailable. If/when HTTPS is enabled, the modern `navigator.clipboard` path is used automatically.

* fix: auto-detect default branch for worktree creation when baseRef not configured
When creating git worktrees, if no explicit baseRef is configured in
the project workspace strategy and no repoRef is set, the system now
auto-detects the repository's default branch instead of blindly
falling back to "HEAD".
Detection strategy:
1. Check refs/remotes/origin/HEAD (set by git clone / remote set-head)
2. Fall back to probing refs/remotes/origin/main, then origin/master
3. Final fallback: HEAD (preserves existing behavior)
This prevents failures like "fatal: invalid reference: main" when a
project's workspace strategy has no baseRef and the repo uses a
non-standard default branch name.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
* fix: address Greptile review - fix misleading comment and add symbolic-ref test
- Corrected comment to clarify that the existing test exercises the
heuristic fallback path (not symbolic-ref)
- Added new test case that explicitly sets refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
via `git remote set-head` to exercise the symbolic-ref code path

issueLastActivityTimestamp() returned 0 for issues where the user was
the last to touch them (myLastTouchAt >= updatedAt) and no external

* docs: add board-operator delegation guide
Create docs/guides/board-operator/delegation.md explaining the full
CEO-led delegation lifecycle from the board operator's perspective.
Covers what the board needs to do, what the CEO automates, common
delegation patterns (flat, 3-level, hire-on-demand), and a
troubleshooting section that directly answers the #1 new-user
confusion point: "Do I have to tell the CEO to delegate?"
Also adds a Delegation section to core-concepts.md and wires the

New CEO agents created during onboarding now include explicit delegation
rules: triage tasks, route to CTO/CMO/UXDesigner, never do IC work, and
follow up on delegated work.
* ci: add Dockerfile deps stage validation to PR policy
Checks that all workspace package.json files and the patches/

Docker build from breaking when new packages or patches are added
without updating the Dockerfile.

* ci: scope Dockerfile check to deps stage and derive workspace roots
Address Greptile review feedback:
- Use awk to extract only the deps stage before grepping, preventing
false positives from COPY lines in other stages
- Derive workspace search roots from pnpm-workspace.yaml instead of
hardcoding them, so new top-level workspaces are automatically covered
* ci: guard against empty workspace roots in Dockerfile check
Fail early if pnpm-workspace.yaml parsing yields no search roots,
preventing a silent false-pass from find defaulting to cwd.
* ci: guard against empty deps stage extraction
Fail early with a clear error if awk cannot find the deps stage in the
Dockerfile, instead of producing misleading "missing COPY" errors.
* ci: deduplicate find results from overlapping workspace roots
Use sort -u instead of sort to prevent duplicate error messages when
nested workspace globs (e.g. packages/* and packages/adapters/*) cause
the same package.json to be found twice.
* ci: anchor grep to ^COPY to ignore commented-out Dockerfile lines
Prevents false negatives when a COPY directive is commented out
(e.g. # COPY packages/foo/package.json).

When CURSOR_API_KEY is not set, check ~/.cursor/cli-config.json for
authInfo from `agent login` before emitting the missing key warning.
Users authenticated via native login no longer see a false warning.
The previous documentation parenthetical "(defaulting to ~/.codex/skills/)"
was misleading because Paperclip almost always sets CODEX_HOME to a
per-company managed home. Update index.ts docs, skills.ts detail string,
and execute.ts inline comment to make the runtime path unambiguous.

Setting the env var before the user-config loop meant adapter env
overrides could disable the guard. Move it after the loop so it
always wins, matching the pattern already used in test.ts and
models.ts.

Set OPENCODE_DISABLE_PROJECT_CONFIG=true in all OpenCode invocations
(execute, model discovery, environment test) to stop the OpenCode CLI
from writing an opencode.json file into the project working directory.
Model selection is already passed via the --model CLI flag.

The default fallback in ensureCodexSkillsInjected still referenced the
old function name. Updated to use resolveCodexSkillsDir with shared
home as fallback.

The previous commit incorrectly used resolveSharedCodexHomeDir() (~/.codex)
but Codex runs with CODEX_HOME set to a per-company managed home under
~/.paperclip/instances/. Skills injected into ~/.codex/skills/ would not
be discoverable by Codex. Now uses effectiveCodexHome directly.

The Codex adapter was the only one injecting skills into
<cwd>/.agents/skills/, polluting the project's git repo. All other
adapters (Gemini, Cursor, etc.) use a home-based directory. This
changes the Codex adapter to inject into ~/.codex/skills/ (resolved
via resolveSharedCodexHomeDir) to match the established pattern.

pnpm install needs the patches/ directory to resolve patched
dependencies (embedded-postgres). Without it, --frozen-lockfile
fails with ENOENT on the patch file.

Use path.join instead of string concatenation for the auth.json
fallback path in the detail message, ensuring correct path
separators on Windows.

When adapter config has no CODEX_HOME but process.env.CODEX_HOME is
set, readCodexAuthInfo reads from the process env path. The detail
message now uses codexHomeDir() instead of hardcoded "~/.codex" so
the displayed path always matches where credentials were read from.

Consolidate the env stub into beforeEach so the pre-existing cwd
test is also isolated from host OPENAI_API_KEY, avoiding
non-deterministic filesystem side effects.

Show the configured CODEX_HOME path instead of hardcoded ~/.codex
when the email fallback message is displayed.

Use vi.stubEnv to clear OPENAI_API_KEY in both new tests so they
don't silently pass the wrong branch when the key is set in the
test runner's environment.

Add tests for codex_native_auth_present and codex_openai_api_key_missing
code paths. Also pass adapter-configured CODEX_HOME through to
readCodexAuthInfo so the probe respects per-adapter home directories.

The environment test warned about OPENAI_API_KEY being unset even
when Codex was authenticated via `codex auth`. Now checks
~/.codex/auth.json before emitting the warning.

The plugin framework landed without updating the Dockerfile. The
server now imports @paperclipai/plugin-sdk, so the deps stage needs
its package.json for install and the build stage needs to compile
it before building the server.

Address Greptile feedback — the sparse 3-line placeholder could
lead to shallow thinking paths. Expanded to 6 lines with guiding
brackets and added "Aim for 5–8 steps" hint in the comment.

PAPERCLIP_MIGRATION_PROMPT=never was checked before
PAPERCLIP_MIGRATION_AUTO_APPLY=true, causing auto-apply to never
trigger when both env vars are set (as in dev:watch). Swap the
check order so AUTO_APPLY takes precedence.

Merge pr-verify.yml, pr-policy.yml, and pr-e2e.yml into a single
pr.yml with three parallel jobs (policy, verify, e2e). Benefits:
- Single concurrency group cancels all jobs on new push
- Consistent Node 24 across all jobs
- One file to maintain instead of three
The jobs still run independently (no artifact sharing) since pnpm
cache makes install fast and the upload/download overhead for
node_modules would negate the savings.

Align with e2e.yml and ensure CI tests exactly the committed
dependency tree. The pr-policy job already blocks lockfile changes
in PRs, so frozen-lockfile is safe here.

The playwright.config.ts had `reuseExistingServer: !!process.env.CI`
which meant CI would reuse (expect) an existing server while local
dev would start one. This is backwards — in CI Playwright should
manage the server, and in local dev you likely already have one
running.
Flip to `!process.env.CI` and remove the `CI: ""` env override
from the workflow.

Add a PR E2E workflow that runs the Playwright onboarding test on
every PR targeting master. Generates a minimal config file and lets
Playwright manage the server lifecycle. Runs in skip_llm mode so
no secrets are required.

The "Enable auto-merge" step runs unconditionally, even when the
lockfile didn't change and no PR exists. This causes the workflow
to fail with "lockfile PR was not found."
Use a step output to gate the auto-merge step so it only runs
when a PR was actually created or updated.

Address Greptile review feedback:
- Show "Please fill in all required fields." instead of silently
returning when form is submitted with missing fields
- Remove pointer-events-none so keyboard users can reach the
button and receive the same validation feedback

The $AGENT_HOME environment variable was referenced by skills (e.g.
para-memory-files) but never actually set, causing runtime errors like
"/HEARTBEAT.md: No such file or directory" when agents tried to resolve
paths relative to their home directory.
Add agentHome to the paperclipWorkspace context in the heartbeat service
and propagate it as the AGENT_HOME env var in all local adapters.

The submit button's `disabled` attribute prevented browsers from firing
implicit form submission (Enter key) per HTML spec. Move the canSubmit
guard into the onSubmit handler and use aria-disabled + visual styles
instead, so Enter works when fields are filled.
