Adds a per-issue read-model resolver that loads the disposition state
vector (active runs, queued wakes, agents, interactions, approvals,
recovery/productivity-review issues, latest run evidence) and runs the
shared classifier. Wires it into issue list, detail, and
heartbeat-context responses, and surfaces it on the shared Issue type
as `executionDisposition` so the board can read execution health
without inferring it from status alone.

Suppress bounded run-liveness continuation wakes when an active pause hold
covers the issue, and cancel due scheduled retries with errorCode `issue_paused`
instead of promoting them only to be cancelled at claim time. Adds regression
coverage for both gates plus the no-pause-hold passthrough invariant.

A blocked parent like PAP-2089 currently reports a generic
needs_attention chain even when its leaf is the productive-run-stopped
shape from PAP-2674's plan. Extend listIssueBlockerAttentionMap to
fetch each candidate leaf's latest issue-linked succeeded run plus its
productivity-review state, classify the leaf as recovery_needed when it
matches the shape, and propagate the leaf identifier, next-action
owner, and CTA hint up to the root. The leaf itself also surfaces
recovery_needed on its own attention so the leaf-level notice can
render when an inbox wake lands directly on it.
Adds two integration cases (productive_run_stopped and
continuation_exhausted) to the embedded-Postgres regression suite.

Adds a productivityReview lookup to single-issue and list responses, plus
a ProductivityReviewBadge component that surfaces the open productivity
review on the source issue's header (with trigger/no-comment-streak
detail in the tooltip), and a compact eye glyph next to the StatusIcon
on IssueRow so operators can spot yellow tasks in any list. The review
issue itself shows a static "Productivity review" pill in the header
when its originKind matches.
Also extends the shared IssueOriginKind union with the recovery-side
kinds (harness_liveness_escalation, issue_productivity_review,
stranded_issue_recovery) so UI checks against issue.originKind type-check.
Wires the new helper through GET /issues/:id, GET /companies/:id/issues
(via issueService.list), and GET /issues/:id/heartbeat-context. Adds a
status-language Storybook story matrix for UX review.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip coordinates recurring agent work through scheduled and
manual routines.
> - Manual routine runs are board-initiated work and should stay visible
to the human who kicked them off.
> - Routine execution issues are agent-assigned, so they can be filtered
away from a board user's inbox unless the user is recorded as touching
the work.
> - Coalesced or skipped active routine runs have the same visibility
problem because they reuse an existing live issue.
> - This pull request carries the manual runner actor into routine
dispatch and touches the linked issue for that user's inbox.
> - The benefit is that manually triggered routine work stays
discoverable by the operator who started it.
## What Changed
- Passed the board or agent actor from the routine run route into the
routine service.
- Recorded manual board runners as `createdByUserId` on fresh routine
execution issues.
- Touched coalesced or skipped active routine issues for the manual
runner by updating read state and clearing that user's inbox archive.
- Added route and service regressions for manual routine run actor
propagation and inbox visibility.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/routines-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts`
## Risks
- Low risk: the change is scoped to manual routine runs and only updates
issue attribution/read-state metadata for the initiating actor.
- No migrations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for autonomous companies.
> - Agent assignments must reliably turn into heartbeat work without
board operators manually nudging stuck tasks.
> - The stranded-assignment recovery sweep already handles failed or
lost runs.
> - But assigned `todo` issues with no prior run could sit idle because
there was nothing to retry or recover.
> - This pull request dispatches those never-started assigned todos as
normal assignment wakes.
> - The benefit is that recovery fixes missed initial dispatches without
creating unnecessary recovery issues.
## What Changed
- Added an initial assigned-todo dispatch path to the recovery service
when an assigned `todo` issue has no heartbeat run yet.
- Reused invocation budget hard-stop checks before dispatching or
requeueing recovery work.
- Counted `assignmentDispatched` in startup/scheduled recovery logs.
- Added heartbeat recovery regressions for first dispatch, duplicate
queued wake prevention, budget-blocked skips, and paused-agent skips.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts`
## Risks
- Low to medium risk: this changes liveness recovery behavior for
assigned `todo` issues, but it stays on the existing assignment wake
path and skips paused or budget-blocked agents.
- No migrations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - The control plane must recover stranded agent work without creating
new operational loops
> - Stranded recovery issues can themselves fail, and exposing raw retry
errors in comments can leak sensitive adapter details
> - New local companies also should not force a hire-approval gate
unless operators enable that policy
> - This pull request hardens recovery issue handling, redacts retry
failure details in issue copy, preserves `maxConcurrentRuns: 1`, and
flips new-hire approval to an opt-in default
> - The benefit is safer automatic recovery and smoother default company
setup without hidden migration conflicts
## What Changed
- Added migration `0071_default_hire_approval_off` and updated company
schema/import/export/docs so hire approvals default off and serialize
only when enabled.
- Added migration `0072_large_sandman` with a partial unique index
preventing duplicate active stranded recovery issues for the same source
issue.
- Blocked failed `stranded_issue_recovery` issues in place instead of
creating nested recovery issues.
- Redacted latest retry failure details from recovery issue comments
while still linking reviewers to run evidence.
- Allowed `maxConcurrentRuns: 1` to be honored by heartbeat concurrency
normalization.
- Added focused regression coverage for recovery recursion, redaction,
migration ordering, and concurrency behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db run check:migrations`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/recovery-classifiers.test.ts`

server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts
--pool=forks --poolOptions.forks.isolate=true` exits 0, but this host

## Risks
- Migration risk is low but this PR intentionally owns both new
migrations to avoid separate PR migration-journal conflicts.
- Recovery comments now require operators to inspect linked run evidence
for details instead of reading raw errors inline.
- The hire approval default changes behavior for newly created/imported
companies only; existing persisted company settings are not changed
except by the SQL default for future rows.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Company skills are part of the reusable agent capability layer
> - Skill inventory refresh work can outlive the company it was
requested for
> - Without an explicit company existence check, stale refreshes can
continue into bundled/local skill cleanup for deleted or missing
companies
> - This pull request makes company-skill listing fail fast when the
company no longer exists
> - The benefit is clearer API behavior and less stale background work
against missing company scope
## What Changed
- Added a company existence check before `companySkillService.list()`
refreshes bundled and local-path skill state.
- Added regression coverage asserting missing companies return `404
Company not found`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts --pool=forks
--poolOptions.forks.isolate=true` exits 0, but this host skipped the
embedded Postgres tests with the existing init guard.
## Risks
- Low risk. Existing callers for valid companies are unchanged.
- Missing-company callers now receive an explicit 404 instead of
continuing refresh work.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Heartbeat liveness recovery decides when stalled issue trees need
manager-visible follow-up.
> - Automatic recovery issue creation is useful, but operators need
instance-level controls for how aggressive it is.
> - Without controls, recovery behavior is harder to tune for local
development, production operations, and noisy edge cases.
> - This pull request adds configurable liveness auto-recovery settings
across shared contracts, API routes, services, and the instance
experimental settings UI.
> - The benefit is that operators can keep liveness findings advisory or
enable bounded recovery automation with explicit intervals and lookback
windows.
## What Changed
- Added shared types and validators for liveness auto-recovery settings.
- Extended instance settings routes and services to persist and validate
the new controls.
- Wired heartbeat/recovery services to honor enablement, minimum
interval, and lookback settings.
- Added UI controls for liveness recovery under instance experimental
settings.
- Covered the new server behavior with instance settings and liveness
escalation tests.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
## Risks
- Moderate behavioral risk because recovery automation timing changes
when enabled; defaults keep existing advisory behavior unless the
setting is turned on.
- No database migration in this PR; settings are stored through the
existing instance settings path.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## 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 orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Operators use issue detail pages and child issue lists to understand
multi-step execution plans.
> - Ordered sub-issues currently read like a flat table, so dependency
chains and current next steps are harder to scan.
> - The branch work adds a workflow-oriented presentation for child
issues without changing the single-assignee task model.
> - This pull request makes ordered sub-issues read more like a progress
checklist while preserving normal issue list controls.
> - The benefit is that operators can see completed steps, active work,
blocked follow-ups, and dependency order at a glance.
## What Changed
- Added workflow sorting utilities and tests for dependency-aware child
issue ordering.
- Added sub-issue progress summary, checklist numbering, current-step
affordances, blocker context, and done-state de-emphasis in the issue
list UI.
- Wired issue detail sub-issue panels to use the workflow sort/progress
checklist presentation.
- Updated issue service behavior/tests for child issue ordering inputs
used by the UI.
- Added a Storybook visual review fixture and screenshot helper for the
sub-issue workflow checklist surface.
## Verification
- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueRow.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/issue-detail-subissues.test.ts
ui/src/lib/workflow-sort.test.ts`
- Result: 6 test files passed, 55 tests passed, 34 embedded Postgres
issue-service tests skipped because `@embedded-postgres/darwin-x64` is
unavailable on this host.
- Visual review: generated Storybook screenshots from the existing local
Storybook server on port 6006 with `node
scripts/screenshot-subissues.mjs /tmp/pap-2189-subissues-screens
http://localhost:6006`.
- Screenshot artifacts:
- Desktop dark: 
- Desktop light: 
- Mobile dark: 
- Mobile light: 
- Local Storybook note: starting a second Storybook process selected
port 6008 because 6006 was occupied, then Vite failed with an esbuild
host/binary version mismatch (`0.25.12` host vs `0.27.3` binary). The
already-running Storybook server on 6006 served the fixture successfully
for screenshots.
## Risks
- Medium UI risk: the issue list now has additional sub-issue-specific
visual states, so dense lists should be checked for spacing and
scanability.
- Low ordering risk: workflow sorting is covered by focused unit tests,
but unusual dependency topologies may still need reviewer attention.
- No migration risk: this PR does not add database migrations or touch
`pnpm-lock.yaml`.

Honor maxConcurrentRuns values below the default so a configured value of 1 keeps same-agent assignment wakes queued while a run is active. Add a regression test covering the queued second assignment case.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## 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 run ledger surfaces stale-run watchdog evaluation issues and
recovery actions
> - Viewer-level board users should be able to inspect status without
getting controls that the server will reject
> - The UI also needs enough board-access context to know when to hide
those decision actions
> - This pull request exposes board memberships in the current board
access snapshot and gates watchdog action controls for known viewer
contexts
> - The benefit is clearer least-privilege UI behavior around recovery
controls
## What Changed
- Included memberships in `/api/cli-auth/me` so the board UI can
distinguish active viewer memberships from operator/admin access.
- Added the stale-run evaluation issue assignee to output silence
summaries.
- Hid stale-run watchdog decision buttons for known non-owner viewer
contexts.
- Surfaced watchdog decision failures through toast and inline error
text.
- Threaded `companyId` through the issue activity run ledger so access
checks are company-scoped.
- Added IssueRunLedger coverage for non-owner viewers.

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
## Risks
- Medium-low risk. This is a UI gating change backed by existing server
authorization.
- Local implicit and instance-admin board contexts continue to show
watchdog decision controls.
- No migrations.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Issue execution is guarded by run locks and bounded retry scheduling
> - A failed run can schedule a retry, but the issue may be reassigned
before that retry becomes due
> - The old assignee's scheduled retry should not continue to hold or
reclaim execution for the issue
> - This pull request cancels stale scheduled retries when ownership
changes and cancels live work when an issue is explicitly cancelled
> - The benefit is cleaner issue handoff semantics and fewer stranded or
incorrect execution locks
## What Changed
- Cancel scheduled retry runs when their issue has been reassigned
before the retry is promoted.
- Clear stale issue execution locks and cancel the associated wakeup
request when a stale retry is cancelled.
- Avoid deferring a new assignee behind a previous assignee's scheduled
retry.
- Cancel an active run when an issue status is explicitly changed to
`cancelled`, while leaving `done` transitions alone.
- Added route and heartbeat regressions for reassignment and
cancellation behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts --pool=forks
--poolOptions.forks.isolate=true`
- `issue-comment-reopen-routes.test.ts`: 28 passed.
- `heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts`: skipped by the existing embedded
Postgres host guard (`Postgres init script exited with code null`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
## Risks
- Medium risk because this changes heartbeat retry lifecycle behavior.
- The cancellation path is scoped to scheduled retries whose issue
assignee no longer matches the retrying agent, and logs a lifecycle
event for auditability.
- No migrations.

## Model Used
- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent, tool-enabled with
shell/GitHub/Paperclip API access. Context window was not reported by
the runtime.

## 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
> - Adapter execution and retry classification decide whether agent work
pauses, retries, or recovers automatically
> - Transient provider failures need to be classified precisely so
Paperclip does not convert retryable upstream conditions into false hard
failures
> - At the same time, operators need an up-to-date model list for
Codex-backed agents and prompts should nudge agents toward targeted
verification instead of repo-wide sweeps
> - This pull request tightens transient recovery classification for
Claude and Codex, updates the agent prompt guidance, and adds Codex
model refresh support end-to-end
> - The benefit is better automatic retry behavior plus fresher
operator-facing model configuration
## What Changed
- added Codex usage-limit retry-window parsing and Claude extra-usage
transient classification
- normalized the heartbeat transient-recovery contract across adapter
executions and heartbeat scheduling
- documented that deferred comment wakes only reopen completed issues
for human/comment-reopen interactions, while system follow-ups leave
closed work closed
- updated adapter-utils prompt guidance to prefer targeted verification
- added Codex model refresh support in the server route, registry,
shared types, and agent config form
- added adapter/server tests covering the new parsing, retry scheduling,
and model-refresh behavior
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-utils
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-claude-local
packages/adapters/claude-local/src/server/parse.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/adapter-codex-local
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/parse.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/adapter-model-refresh-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/claude-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/codex-local-execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts`
## Risks
- Moderate behavior risk: retry classification affects whether runs
auto-recover or block, so mistakes here could either suppress needed
retries or over-retry real failures
- Low workflow risk: deferred comment wake reopening is intentionally
scoped to human/comment-reopen interactions so system follow-ups do not
revive completed issues unexpectedly
