DottaandPaperclip c6ee96a3df fix: stop idle MCP event polling (#17036)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - MCP task subscriptions and Dot mailboxes notify external clients
when work changes.
> - Their delivery workers queried SQL every two seconds, including when
no work existed.
> - Those queries prevent idle databases from becoming quiet across many
hosted instances.
> - Existing activity, mailbox, subscription, and delivery records
already preserve the work.
> - This pull request uses committed-write signals and saved retry
deadlines to drive delivery.
> - Idle subscriptions become quiet while startup, retry, drain, and
shutdown recovery remain supported.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related sleep migrations: #15625, #17000, #17008. Searched open PRs and
issues for MCP event sleep/polling work; no duplicate found.

**What happened?**

Each public MCP and Dot event service started a two-second interval. It
checked settings, scanned subscriptions, created delivery receipts,
cleaned expired records, and attempted delivery even without changes.

**Expected behavior**

An empty or subscribed-but-idle service produces no recurring SQL or
network traffic. Committed events trigger prompt delivery. Only
unfinished work retains a retry deadline.

**Steps to reproduce**

Configure a public MCP origin and start the server. Observe recurring
settings queries with MCP disabled, or subscription/queue queries with
it enabled. No incoming task changes are required.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Initially inspected master at
`8b4ab65b1c3d863d282752e83307943720a5c85c`; rebased onto `c2daf906d9`
after master advanced. The only conflict was overlapping imports in the
heartbeat queue; both were preserved.

## What Changed

- Register separate MCP and Dot workers with the existing delivery
coordinator. Remove both unconditional intervals.
- Notify from committed activity, comment, mailbox, subscription, and
experimental-settings writes. Centralize comment insertion in one small
helper so normal callers do not manage recovery state.
- Preserve outer transaction ownership, uncertainty reconciliation, and
requests deferred during drain or standby.
- Restore delivery retry/abandoned-claim deadlines on startup. Scan
subscriptions in pages of 20; drain full source and delivery batches
without another external event. Scope subscription refreshes to their
subscription or shared Dot binding, issue activity to its task, comment
discovery to its company, and mailbox/assignment changes to their
binding. Retry deadlines do not rescan unchanged sources.
- Run expired-record cleanup opportunistically. Preserve on-use expiry
checks and the existing one-time automatic Dot challenge behavior.
- Add real PostgreSQL lifecycle coverage and guarded external test
database options for existing MCP/Dot integrations. Document producers
and the supported writer model.

## Verification

- Final head `e54fb34485921016ef988f7df9cca173a9ebdfc8`: all CI checks
passed (55 successful checks/statuses, one neutral review, two
intentionally skipped Storybook checks). Mergeable with no unresolved
review threads. Greptile: 5/5 on this exact commit; security scan
passed.
- All 284 affected tests passed in one local run after rebasing: 16
real-PostgreSQL lifecycle tests, 24 coordinator/scheduler/standby tests,
84 public MCP tests, 54 Dot runner tests, and 106 interaction-service
tests.
- Server TypeScript passed after refreshing generated Runner/plugin SDK
dependencies from master. Full workspace typecheck and build passed
before the rebase; final CI repeated typecheck and build successfully on
the rebased head.
- Coverage includes SQL/network quiet with configuration and history,
committed writes, outer commit/rollback, drain/standby, retry
restoration, reenable/unsubscribe, concurrent writes, shutdown,
source/delivery/subscription batch boundaries, Dot challenges and
reconnects, native broker fences, comment discovery, and
company-isolated scans.
- CI exposed an existing lock-order test whose insert proxy missed
nested transactions and waited indefinitely. The fixture now observes
nested inserts, preserves the lock assertion, and fails explicitly if
interception is missed. The complete 106-test interaction suite and the
formerly hanging CI shard pass. The warm-standby/settings test doubles
were also updated for the new coordinator/transaction boundaries.
- Earlier fixture failures (required timestamps, cleanup, external
database selection, async waits) were corrected. One existing OAuth
first-poll timing assertion and one E2E company-cleanup race passed on
single reruns; the final full CI run passed without a rerun. No OAuth or
company-deletion behavior was changed.
- The local full `pnpm test:run` attempt could not initialize embedded
PostgreSQL after five attempts. It was stopped; affected integrations
were verified with separate disposable PostgreSQL 17 databases, and
final CI supplied the full-suite result. Embedded-only local skips are
not counted as passes.

## Risks

- Notifications use one live server/database scope. Independent SQL
writers and separate live replicas do not trigger these process-local
workers. Startup recovers durable state; continuous multi-writer
discovery needs a notification/ingress contract.
- Idle physical cleanup waits for startup or another enabled sweep.
Subscription and authorization expiry remain enforced on use.
- Existing delivery claims, retry bounds, signatures, and receipt
deduplication remain in place. No new tables or migrations.
- Host sleep-safety checks remain conservative. MCP/Dot retry deadlines
are not yet covered by Paperclip Cloud's scheduled-wake contract. This
proves worker quiet, not deployed host suspension or fleet savings.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with reasoning, local code execution, and tool
use. The runtime does not expose a more specific model version or
context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip fc0d390d98 fix: enforce Cloud-enabled features on every managed stack (#16953)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Cloud sets managed feature values for each tenant stack.
> - Staging lets admins change experimental features.
> - The staging exception also let old tenant false values override
Cloud true values.
> - This could disable required features such as isolated workspaces.
> - This pull request keeps every Cloud-enabled feature on and rejects
attempts to disable it.
> - The same rule applies to staging, production, and managed stacks
without a hostname.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #16876

**What happened?**

The staging override added in #16876 treats managed true values as
editable defaults. A stored tenant false value can disable a feature
that Cloud enables. Settings writes also accept attempts to disable
Cloud-enabled features.

**Expected behavior**

If Cloud sets a feature to true, the tenant reads true and cannot turn
it off. This applies to every managed stack. Staging can still change
allowed experiments that Cloud has not enabled.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Set a managed staging primary hostname and enable isolated workspaces
in `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`.
2. Start with `enableIsolatedWorkspaces: false` in the tenant settings
row.
3. Read `/api/instance/settings/experimental`. Before this fix, staging
returns false.
4. Try to PATCH that flag to false. After this fix, the API returns 403
without saving, and reads return true with managed control metadata.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `cde944ed75648adfb569e86133adc8b118b55dd6`.

## What Changed

- Keep managed true values in the staging read overlay. They override
old tenant values and lock the existing UI controls.
- Reject attempts to set any Cloud-enabled feature to false before
writing settings.
- Cover every managed feature in service tests across staging,
production, and an absent hostname. Add real-service HTTP tests for
isolation on staging and production.
- Update operator documentation and the feature and access maps.

## Verification

- Confirmed the new service regression fails before the fix: staging
returns stored false, and writes can attempt to disable enabled flags.
- Passed all six focused settings suites: 168 tests. Passed the final
route and overlay suites after adding the HTTP regression: 109 tests.
- Passed existing experimental settings UI tests: 54 tests. These cover
the existing managed-control behavior.
- Passed `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check`.
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. The first typecheck used
an install that did not honor locked versions and hit an unrelated
`@pierre/diffs` API mismatch. Reinstalling from the lockfile resolved
it; no lockfile changes are included.
- Full CI passed on `f43136812a92ec838a24f0c423270e4fbd997c28`: 55
successful checks, one neutral review check, and two expected skips.
This includes typecheck, build, general and serialized tests, runner
checks, and E2E shards. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39411907756).
- The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the complete CI
matrix passed. It is not counted as a completed local full-suite pass.
- Greptile reviewed `f43136812a92ec838a24f0c423270e4fbd997c28`: 5/5 with
no outstanding findings. The only finding on the first review was the
repository rule against new code comments; those comments were removed.

## Risks

- Staging users can no longer disable a feature that Cloud enables. This
is the intended behavior.
- Clients that send a stale full settings form containing false for a
Cloud-enabled feature receive 403 and must reload.
- No database migration is needed. Stored false values remain in the
database, but cannot override an active Cloud true value.
- Cloud-disabled staging experiments remain editable. Production
restrictions and self-hosted settings remain unchanged.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, `gpt-6.1-sol`, with reasoning, repository tools, and
test execution. The context window size is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9077748894 Remove the Pipelines experiment and preserve its data (#16834)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Pipelines was an unused experiment with its own UI, API, CLI, and
automation.
> - Keeping it leaves unsupported product surfaces and extra task-detail
queries.
> - Removing the experiment must preserve data that users already saved.
> - This pull request removes the feature and keeps its database schema
and migration history.
> - Cases and Routines remain available as separate features.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Remove the unused Pipelines experiment across the application.

**Current behavior**

The experiment includes pipeline boards, stage settings, case
automation, review queues, learnings, permissions, and CLI commands.
Task detail also queries pipeline links.

**Proposed behavior**

Remove all these product surfaces and their implementation. Preserve
existing tables, records, and documents. Ignore the retired boolean in
older managed configurations so upgrades still start.

**Breaking changes**

Pipeline URLs, API endpoints, CLI commands, and `pipelines:write` are
removed. Task detail no longer includes the old `linkedCases` field. The
independent Cases API remains available. No database migration or
cleanup is included.

Related feature work: #7907, #9110, #10905, #11375, #13004, #14671,
#16133. Related issues: #9663, #10310, #10312. This removal supersedes
the feature; it does not implement those pending enhancements or delete
their saved data.

## What Changed

- Remove Pipeline UI pages, navigation, gates, clients, query keys,
helpers, and unused design tokens.
- Remove Pipeline REST routes, services, automation dispatch,
task-detail queries, and OpenAPI discovery.
- Remove the CLI commands, shared contracts, experimental flag, catalog
entry, and permission defaults.
- Remove feature-specific tests, tutorials, smoke scripts, maps, and
Storybook examples.
- Preserve database schema, migration history, and the reserved document
key used by old records.
- Keep Cases routes independent and cover obsolete stored and managed
settings.

## Verification

- Passed: `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Passed: targeted settings, managed configuration, sidebar, settings
UI, routing, and feature-catalog tests. A first sidebar run caught a
shared Workspaces icon import; the import was restored and the sidebar
rerun passed.
- Passed: 40 tests covering Cases routes, OpenAPI discovery, retained
Pipeline table constraints, and schema snapshot drift.
- Passed: token gates, map validation, generated API metadata check,
Storybook catalog validation, and 28 map/catalog tests.
- Passed: isolated local browser verification of navigation and
Experimental settings with Pipelines absent; Cases and Routines still
open normally. Live GET/POST requests to retired Pipeline endpoints
return 404, and the retired setting is absent. CLI help has no Pipeline
commands.
- Passed: 22 access-service and agent-default-grant tests after
restoring unrelated permission assertions flagged in review.
- Local full run: `pnpm test:run` reported one failure in the unchanged
workspace-runtime port-allocation test. That test passed in an isolated
rerun. The long local run was stopped after full CI passed; it is not
reported as a complete local pass.
- Passed: all 56 checks on `def9181f3a4491d95fca1d38e9739f5b821aae3e` (2
conditional checks skipped), including build, typecheck, test shards,
and browser suites. Eleven interrupted CI jobs reported “The operation
was canceled”; their one-time retry passed. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39255211006).
- Greptile: 5/5 on the final commit, with the only review finding fixed
and resolved.
- Sandbox socket restrictions affected the first build/API test
attempts. The same commands ran with local sockets available.

## Risks

- Existing Pipeline clients must stop using the removed endpoints and
commands.
- Existing data remains in the database and backups, but the removed UI
no longer displays it.
- Historical boolean `enablePipelines` values are ignored. They cannot
restore the feature.
- Cases and Routines must retain their separate behavior. Targeted route
tests cover this boundary.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, editing, shell
execution, and browser verification. The exact deployed model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 8781f06a87 feat(connections): enable MCP aggregators by default (#13964)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - Connections let those agents use external services with explicit
access rules.
> - Zapier, Arcade, Composio Connect, and Executor already have setup
and runtime support.
> - Their experimental switch still blocks discovery and setup by
default.
> - This pull request removes those gates and the Settings toggle.
> - Users can connect these providers without enabling an experiment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13755. Refs #13941.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Apps browsing, inline setup, and agent connection search for the four
MCP aggregators.

**Current behavior**
An instance must enable the MCP aggregators experiment before users or
agents can start setup.

**Proposed behavior**
All four providers are available by default on local and managed
instances. Old stored and managed values still parse but cannot disable
them.

## What Changed

- Remove the aggregator gates from Apps, inline setup, server setup, and
agent search.
- Remove the Settings toggle and its UI hook.
- Retain the old setting key only for upgrade compatibility. Normalize
it to true and ignore managed overrides, as Apps already does.
- Replace opt-in fixtures with default-on coverage. Test old false
values, all four setup flows, provider choice, and the removed toggle.
- Update current connector guidance and remove the opt-in from the
runner acceptance fixture.

## Verification

- 306 focused tests passed across eight files: shared remote MCP
contracts; server remote MCP lifecycle, aggregator fallback, settings
normalization, and managed overlay; UI Apps browsing, setup, and
experimental settings.
- Server and UI TypeScript checks passed.
- UI token gates and `git diff --check` passed.
- The full local suite was not run, per the maintainer's instruction.
All 54 CI checks passed; two checks were skipped. One unrelated
workspace-preview readiness timeout passed on one failed-shard retry.
- The setup fixtures use simulated MCP responses. This change does not
claim new live provider acceptance.

## Risks

- Existing instances now show all four providers, even if the old flag
was false. This is intentional.
- External provider choice, credentials, company isolation, agent
grants, and tool policies still apply. Showing a connector does not
authorize an external account.
- No data migration is required. The compatibility key keeps old managed
configuration documents valid.
- Historical Zapier live acceptance remains incomplete in the existing
evidence report. The maintainer explicitly requested the default-on
rollout for all four existing providers; the report records that scoped
exception.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) through Codex, with reasoning, repository
tools, and test execution. The context window size is not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 889947c238 feat: add experimental native chat connectors (#13038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.

## What Changed

- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.

## Verification

Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.

- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.

- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.

- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.

- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.

- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.

- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.

- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.

Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.

## Risks

- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).

DottaandPaperclip 8c3b8c432a Simplify app connections and enable managed Google access (#12728)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps subsystem gives humans and agents governed access to
external tools.
> - The current connection flow hides Apps behind an experimental gate
and repeats setup text.
> - Google sharing choices and generic MCP permissions do not use one
consistent opening model.
> - Self-hosted installs also need a safe default origin for managed
OAuth without a manual config file.
> - This pull request makes Apps available, simplifies connection setup,
and applies one governed permissions model.
> - The benefit is a shorter connection flow that works on a clean
self-hosted install.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the Apps connection setup flow, managed Google connection
flow, generic MCP connection flow, navigation, and runtime origin
discovery.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This changes `ui/`, `server/`, `packages/shared/`,
connector documentation, and browser tests.

**Current behavior**

Apps require an experimental switch. Setup pages repeat titles and
explanatory copy. Connection names require manual input. Google
credential sharing does not always offer both personal and organization
access. Generic MCP providers do not start with the same permission
choices. Managed OAuth needs a public URL setting even when the request
already has a safe HTTPS origin.

**Proposed behavior**

Apps are available by default. Setup asks only for required permissions
and sharing choices. Paperclip creates conflict-free connection names.
Google apps and generic MCP providers use the same human and agent
access model. Managed OAuth derives a validated same-origin HTTPS URL
when no explicit public URL is set.

**Reason and benefit**

A clean self-hosted install can connect a managed Google app without
hidden setup. Humans can share a service account with their
organization. The shorter flow reduces duplicated choices and setup
errors.

**Breaking changes**

The Apps experimental switch is removed. Existing connection APIs remain
compatible. New connections can receive a numeric suffix when a name
already exists.

No duplicate or related public issue was found.

## What Changed

- Removed the Apps experimental gate and the breadcrumb that leaves the
Apps section.
- Simplified all connection setup pages and moved optional provider
requirements into one small link.
- Added consistent human and agent access choices for Google apps,
Zapier, and generic MCP connections.
- Added organization sharing to Google Workspace credentials while
keeping personal access available.
- Generated connection names automatically and resolved name conflicts
with numeric suffixes.
- Derived a validated public HTTPS origin from the request for
config-free managed OAuth.
- Updated connector contracts, tests, browser coverage, and authoring
documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts` (273 passed)
- Targeted UI/service regression suite (308 passed)
- Six targeted Playwright connection journeys on a fresh onboarding
instance (6 passed)
- Fresh-install browser proof through Tailscale HTTPS: enrolled with
Paperclip Cloud, connected managed Google Drive, and completed a real
read operation.
- [Exact-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33669760711):
all 23 matrix jobs passed, including build, typecheck, server,
serialized, canary, and all browser shards.
- Greptile 5/5 on `0ae2a859f269984ee950d0af231a5b09a06f3dfd`, with no
unresolved review threads.

## Risks

Apps are now visible to all operators. The removed experimental flag no
longer hides unfinished app definitions. Managed Google availability
still depends on the Cloud profile rollout and active instance
enrollment. Automatic conflict handling changes only the display name of
a newly conflicting connection.

> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). MCP Tool Gateway and Apps are
shipped. Connected Apps is planned, and this change improves the
existing shipped connection flow.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with reasoning, browser control, tool use, and code
execution.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 216d3d2680 Managed-instance config: fail-closed PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG parsing and read-time settings overlay (#10058)
**Builds on.** #10055 — the `catalogVersion` this config document pins
is the feature-catalog artifact #10055 emits.

**Summary.** Instances operated by a managed hosting control plane can
now receive instance configuration through a single environment
variable, `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` (versioned JSON: `mode`,
`catalogVersion`, `features`, `plugins.autoInstall`). When the variable
is absent the instance is self-hosted and nothing changes. When present,
parsing is strict and **fail-closed**: blank value, malformed JSON,
unknown feature key, a feature key this build's feature catalog does not
mark tier `managed`, missing required section, or unsupported version
refuses startup with a precise error — a typo that silently does nothing
is how a security control quietly fails. Managed feature values are
overlaid **at read time** inside the instance settings service (never
persisted), so a DB restore or manual row edit cannot resurrect a
disabled capability; responses expose per-key `managedKeys` metadata
(`managed: true`, `managedBy`) so clients can render locked state.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs both self-hosted and under managed hosting, where an
operator's control plane owns instance configuration
> - Today instance feature settings live only in the tenant database; a
hosting control plane has no way to enforce a configuration that
tenant-side writes or restores cannot undo
> - Managed configuration will carry security posture, so delivery must
be atomic and parsing must fail closed — a typo that silently does
nothing is how a security control quietly fails
> - This pull request adds strict parsing of one
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` env var and overlays its feature values at
read time inside the settings service, never persisting them
> - The benefit is a minimal, auditable managed-hosting contract: absent
var ⇒ self-hosted instances are byte-for-byte unchanged; present ⇒
deterministic, locked configuration surfaced to clients via per-key
managed metadata

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #966 — this PR delivers that issue's "managed config injection"
hook, via a strict env-var contract rather than the config-file path it
sketches; the issue's other hooks (identity header, health, usage
webhook, lifecycle, external secrets, IAM auth) are out of scope, so the
PR refs rather than closes it.

*Mechanism differs from #966's proposal, so the `feature_request` fields
are also filled in:*

- **Problem or motivation:** managed hosting deployments need to
centrally enable/disable instance features; DB-stored settings can be
edited, restored, or migrated back to permissive values, and nothing
marks a value as operator-enforced.
- **Proposed solution:** one versioned JSON env var; fail-closed parse
at startup; read-time overlay in the settings service (precedence:
managed value over stored value over schema default); `managedKeys`
metadata in settings responses so clients can render locked state.
- **Alternatives considered:** per-feature env vars (non-atomic across a
half-updated env set, unbounded env surface); seeding the DB at boot
(persisted values can be edited or restored over, and cannot express
"forced"); lenient warn-and-drop parsing (fails open — unacceptable for
a security-bearing control).
- **Roadmap alignment:** supports the in-progress "Cloud deployments"
milestone in `ROADMAP.md`.

## What Changed

- New `server/src/services/managed-config.ts` (pure parser over the env
record)
- Startup parse ordered before the first `instanceSettingsService`
construction in `server/src/index.ts`
- Read-time merge + `managedKeys` in the settings service
- Shared validator updates

## Verification

- 29 parser/overlay tests (fail-closed matrix incl. blank/whitespace
env, missing sections, catalog-tier mismatch, empty-section happy path):
`pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts` (from
`server/`)
- 40 existing settings route/service tests green: `pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` (from `server/`)
- 15 shared validator tests: `pnpm vitest run
src/validators/instance.test.ts` (from `packages/shared/`)
- Server `tsc --noEmit` clean: `pnpm typecheck` (from `server/`)

## Risks

- Self-hosted instances (no `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` set) are
byte-for-byte unchanged — the parser only runs when the variable is
present.
- For managed instances, a malformed document now refuses startup by
design (fail-closed). This is an intentional behavioral guarantee, not a
regression: the control plane owns the variable and a precise startup
error is the contract.
- Overlay values are never persisted, so no migration or data-shape
risk.

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking, agentic tool use;
independently peer-reviewed by a second AI agent before push.
