scotttongandClaude Fable 5 c185e64b77 feat(ui): chat-style task view behind an experimental flag (#10606)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators spend most of their time on the issue detail page. They
talk to the assigned agent there through comments.
> - The current page reads as a ticket form. The thread sits below
properties, the composer sits mid-page, and live agent activity renders
as dense transcript logs.
> - Talking to an agent is a conversation. A chat-first layout matches
that mental model better than a ticket form.
> - A layout change this large must not disrupt current users. It needs
a safe opt-in path and full parity with the existing thread features.
> - This pull request adds a chat-style task view behind a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle. The flag is off by default and the
existing page is unchanged when it is off.
> - The benefit is a focused, readable conversation with the agent: live
tool activity folds into compact summaries, the composer stays at the
bottom, and properties, plan, and artifacts move into header tabs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #4489 — an earlier, closed attempt to promote the conversation to the
primary surface on issue detail. This PR is a fresh, flag-gated take on
the same goal.
- #8837 — an open PR that proposes a two-column task layout. It
restructures the same page but keeps the ticket paradigm; this PR is
orthogonal because it is opt-in and chat-first.

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page).

**Problem or motivation**

The issue detail page presents agent conversations as a ticket:
properties first, thread below, composer in the middle of the page, and
raw transcript noise during live runs. Users who mainly converse with
their agents must scroll past chrome to follow the conversation, and
live activity is hard to read.

**Proposed solution**

An opt-in chat-style view of the issue detail page, gated by a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle in Settings → Experimental. With
the flag on, the thread fills the center pane, the composer docks to the
bottom of the viewport, Properties / Plan / Artifacts become header
tabs, live turns show a status pill with the current tool action and
elapsed time, and settled turns collapse to a "Worked · N tools" summary
that expands into per-tool rows. With the flag off, nothing changes.

**Alternatives considered**

Restyling the existing layout in place (rejected: too disruptive without
an opt-out), and a separate chat page beside the issue page (rejected:
splits the task's single source of truth). A per-request lab page
(`/task-chat-lab`, dev-only) was kept for design iteration instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md "CEO Chat" wants lighter conversations that still resolve to
real work objects. This PR keeps the core task-and-comments model — it
only changes presentation, opt-in — so it does not duplicate that
planned work.

## What Changed

- New `enableTaskChatRedesign` instance setting, exposed as a
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment card in Settings → Experimental (shared
feature catalog, validators, server instance-settings service, and UI
settings page).
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/` component family: chat thread with
turn grouping, agent reply bubbles, live status pill, collapsible turn
summaries with per-tool rows, plan tab with a sticky CTA action bar,
inline interaction cards, per-request mode chips, and a bottom-docked
composer.
- A shared tool taxonomy (`tool-taxonomy.ts`) maps tool names to verbs
and icons; the status pill, tool rows, and the classic transcript view
all use it.
- A transcript adapter converts stored run logs into chat turns; it
dedupes tool-call updates by `toolUseId` so tool counts match the
expanded rows, and it keeps a tool row's first real name when later
generic updates arrive.
- Composer: posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter, supports image paste with
object-URL thumbnail previews (revoked on clear/unmount), and uploads
through the issue attachments route.
- `IssueDetail.tsx`: with the flag on, pane tabs move to the header bar,
the header is not sticky, and the chat fills the center; with the flag
off, the previous layout renders unchanged.
- Motion tokens for the new animations live in `ui/src/index.css` with a
`motion-tokens.ts` catalog and a test that keeps the two in sync (the
catalog now also covers the shared enter/exit/swap tokens that the
decision/quicklook block declares).
- A dev-only `/task-chat-lab` page with fixtures and a tweak panel for
motion tuning.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across the workspace.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,344 of 3,345 tests pass locally. The
one failure is `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row time formatting,
which is timezone-sensitive: it also fails on unmodified `origin/master`
in a non-UTC timezone and passes with `TZ=UTC`. It is not related to
this change.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 21/21 pass (covers
the new setting).
- Manual: start the dev server, open Settings → Experimental, enable
"Chat-Style Tasks", and open any issue. The thread fills the page, the
composer docks to the bottom, and Properties / Plan / Artifacts appear
as header tabs. Assign an agent and comment to watch a live run: the
status pill shows the current tool action with elapsed time, and the
finished turn folds into a "Worked · N tools" summary. Disable the
toggle and confirm the classic page is unchanged.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The flag-off path goes through the same `IssueDetail.tsx` file, so a
regression there would affect current users. Mitigation: the classic
markup renders through the same components as before behind explicit
flag conditionals, and the full UI suite passes.
- The transcript adapter interprets stored run-log formats, including
legacy entries without `toolUseId`. Malformed logs degrade to generic
tool rows rather than crashing.
- The new view changes no server behavior other than one additive
instance setting; it is additive and default-off. Overall risk with the
flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

DottaandPaperclip 92c3d9f0d9 fix(server): stop requiring PAPERCLIP_DECISION_SIGNING_SECRET at startup (#10594)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server signs decision specifications with an HMAC
> - PR #10010 made `PAPERCLIP_DECISION_SIGNING_SECRET` a hard startup
requirement
> - Existing installs do not have this new environment variable
> - Those installs now stop during startup
> - This pull request uses a secure persisted instance key when the
override is absent
> - The benefit is that existing installs start without new
configuration and decision signing remains fail-closed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

After #10010, `startServer()` throws when
`PAPERCLIP_DECISION_SIGNING_SECRET` is unset or shorter than 32
characters. Existing installs without the new environment variable stop
at startup.

**Expected behavior**

The server starts without manual configuration. A new optional feature
must not add a required environment variable for existing installs.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Check out `master` at 9c1f8e7887.
2. Unset `PAPERCLIP_DECISION_SIGNING_SECRET`.
3. Start the server.
4. Observe that startup stops with a missing-secret error.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`master` at 9c1f8e7887.

**Deployment mode**

All deployment modes are affected when the environment variable is
absent.

## What Changed

- Treat `PAPERCLIP_DECISION_SIGNING_SECRET` as an optional override.
- Generate a random per-instance key at
`<instance>/secrets/decision-signing.key` when the override is absent.
- Publish a complete first-time key with an atomic no-overwrite link so
concurrent server starts use one key.
- Repair permissive modes on process-owned secrets directories and
regular key files, reject planted symlinks or foreign-owned paths, and
fail startup if `0700`/`0600` cannot be enforced.
- Keep an explicitly configured secret shorter than 32 characters as a
startup error.
- Add startup, permission, planted-symlink, fail-closed verification,
and generated-key round-trip tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts` — 45 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` — passed.
- Eight simultaneous resolver processes returned the same persisted key.
The secrets directory/key modes were `0700`/`0600`.
- `git diff --check` — passed.

## Risks

- Existing configured secrets remain unchanged.
- Removing a configured secret after a proposal makes the prior
signature fail verification. Restoring the secret restores verification.
- A restored secrets directory or key with unsafe permissions now fails
startup when the server cannot repair it to `0700`/`0600`; symlinks and
paths owned by another local user are rejected rather than trusted.
- The generated key uses an atomic hard link in the instance secrets
directory. An unsupported file system fails startup instead of replacing
an existing key.
- Existing installs that failed at startup did not sign decisions with a
missing key.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Fable 5, model ID `claude-fable-5`, produced the
initial implementation with extended reasoning and tool use.
- OpenAI Codex, model ID `gpt-5`, addressed review findings and prepared
the PR with reasoning, repository editing, code execution, and GitHub

DottaandPaperclip b163c6c473 fix(server): preserve hot restart intent across path upgrade (#10593)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server can preserve eligible agent runs during a controlled hot
restart.
> - A path change moved restart state from the Paperclip home root to
the instance root.
> - A staged update can therefore make the old server and the new server
read different intent files.
> - The old server then drains live runs, while the new server can start
without a shutdown snapshot.
> - This pull request adds a correlated compatibility handoff and
records the live preflight set.
> - It also verifies the target process instance on Linux, macOS, and
Windows.
> - The benefit is complete and safe run classification across the path
upgrade.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue covers this defect.

**What happened?**

A staged hot restart can run an older server that reads
`hot-restart-intent.json` from the Paperclip home root and a new server
that writes the file under the instance root. The old server misses the
request and uses graceful drain. The new server later finds its marker
without a shutdown snapshot. Before this change, that state could
produce an empty loss list even when live runs existed before restart.

**Expected behavior**

The old server must receive the PID-targeted restart request at its
legacy path. The new server must correlate the legacy shutdown snapshot
with its instance-scoped request. Every run that was live during
preflight must appear as adopted, finalized while down, or lost. A
reused PID must not let a stale marker claim a different process
instance.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a server version from before the instance-root marker change.
2. Keep one or more local-agent heartbeat runs active.
3. Stage a current build and request a hot restart from that build.
4. Observe that the old server reads only the home-root path while the
staged build writes only the instance-root path.
5. Observe graceful drain and a new-server intent that has no shutdown
snapshot.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The path transition entered `master` in #10045. The hot-restart adoption
flow came from #9647. This fix targets current `master` and
compatibility with the immediately preceding home-root behavior.

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted server built from source with controlled service hot
restarts.

Related work: #9628 is the original broader hot-restart feature PR.
#10556 addresses embedded PostgreSQL lifecycle behavior and does not
address marker-path compatibility.

## What Changed

- Write an authoritative instance-scoped intent and a correlated legacy
home-root handoff marker.
- Merge a legacy shutdown snapshot only when immutable request identity
fields match.
- Prevent a non-default instance from consuming an uncorrelated
legacy-only marker.
- Record preflight running heartbeat IDs and reconcile snapshot
omissions from current database state.
- Serialize marker claims, snapshot writes, stale recovery, and matching
cleanup with recoverable per-path filesystem leases.
- Read process start identity on Linux, macOS, and Windows to
distinguish a reused PID from the original server.
- Require identity for new restart requests and fail closed when a
supported platform cannot provide it.
- Classify older markers by comparing the replacement server boot time
or operating-system process start time with the request time.
- Close the preflight database client explicitly and use a root-safe SQL
query.
- Add focused unit, platform-branch, database-backed, and CI regression
coverage.
- Document the compatibility handoff, process identity probes, and
instance-scoped report path.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/services/hot-restart.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t
"hot-restart|old-server legacy|preflight live|preflight run|spawn
identity before hot restart"` — 24 tests passed and 90 tests were
skipped across 2 files.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/services/hot-restart.test.ts` — 17
tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-watchdogs-routes.test.ts -t "restarts a
stalled claimed run"` — 1 test passed and 10 tests were skipped.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-action-audit-routes.test.ts -t "allows an
agent with issue:delegate"` — 1 test passed and 7 tests were skipped.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check` — passed.
- GitHub Actions — 26 of 26 checks passed at
`55a79cb029be8b1dc89926d9d89ccd2181266d5c`.
- Greptile — 5/5 at the same head with no unresolved current-head review
threads.

## Risks

- The legacy handoff path is shared across instances. Exclusive claims
and per-path leases prevent overwrite and match-before-delete races.
- Process identity uses platform commands as a fallback when the health
endpoint has no identity. Linux reads `/proc`, macOS and BSD use `ps`,
and Windows uses PowerShell.
- A supported-platform identity probe failure aborts the restart. This
fails closed instead of replacing an unknown live process.
- Older intent files do not contain process identity. The server
compares the replacement boot or process start time with the request
time when those values are available.
- A preflight database read can fail before the marker is written. The
command fails closed instead of claiming a restart whose live-run set is
unknown.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5. The exact deployment model ID and
context-window size were not exposed by this runtime. Reasoning,
repository editing, shell execution, test execution, GitHub CLI, and
Paperclip API capabilities were enabled.

9c1f8e7887 feat(decisions): add first-class propose mode (#10010)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can currently perform many mutations directly, while humans
often need a durable review point before cross-issue or destructive
actions occur
> - Existing approvals and issue-thread interactions do not provide a
standalone, reusable object for presenting options, collecting typed
inputs, detecting stale targets, and auditing effect execution
> - The control plane therefore needs a first-class propose mode that
separates an agent's recommendation from the governed mutation it may
cause
> - This pull request adds Decisions v1 across the database, shared
contracts, server execution and telemetry, agent skill guidance, and
operator UI
> - The benefit is that agents can propose multi-option actions safely
while operators get explicit provenance, fail-closed execution,
per-effect results, and a focused attention workflow

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Subsystem affected

Cross-cutting: `packages/db`, `packages/shared`, `server`, and `ui`.

### Problem or motivation

Agents need a governed way to propose consequential work without
immediately mutating issues, especially when one choice can affect
several issue trees. Existing approvals and issue-thread interactions do
not provide a standalone object with typed options, target snapshots,
effect-level authorization, expiration, execution outcomes, and reusable
attention-feed presentation.

### Proposed solution

Add first-class Decisions that store options and typed inputs, surface
open proposals in the operator attention feed, validate target freshness
and the origin-agent/operator authorization intersection at decision
time, execute a bounded set of auditable effects, and retain terminal
outcomes. Decisions v1 supports comments, status and assignee changes,
follow-up issue creation, blocker resolution, and issue-tree
cancellation, plus bundle grouping, expiration/dismissal, rule-key
telemetry, and agent-facing API guidance.

### Alternatives considered

- Extend approvals with arbitrary effects: rejected because approvals
represent governed yes/no actions and would become an unsafe generic
mutation envelope.
- Model every proposal as an issue-thread interaction: rejected because
decisions can span several targets and need independent lifecycle,
telemetry, idempotency, and effect results.
- Let agents perform the mutation and ask for retrospective review:
rejected because it removes the pre-execution governance boundary this
feature is meant to provide.

### Roadmap alignment

Aligns with `ROADMAP.md` sections **Agent Reviews and Approvals**,
**Enforced Outcomes**, **MCP Tool Gateway & Apps (governed tool
access)**, and **Activity History** by making explicit decisions,
authorization gates, auditable execution, and terminal outcomes
first-class control-plane objects.

### Additional context

This does not replace existing approvals or issue-thread interactions,
and it does not add an unrestricted generic mutation effect.

## What Changed

- Added company-scoped decision, option, target, and effect-execution
schema plus migration and shared TypeScript/Zod contracts.
- Added decision routes and services for propose, list/get, decide,
dismiss, cancel, target freshness checks, authorization intersection,
idempotency, activity logging, and execution auditing.
- Added rule-key decision telemetry and attention-feed metadata so open
decisions are visible and measurable.
- Added agent skill documentation for proposing and resolving decisions
through the Paperclip API.
- Added the Decisions UI: API client, query keys, inline attention
resolver, bundle grouping, target-issue strip, terminal history,
destructive confirmation, and per-effect result rendering.
- Added server service coverage, DecisionCard state tests, and Storybook
stories for the supported visual states.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 2,876 passed, 1 skipped, with one unrelated
cross-suite cleanup-order failure in
`heartbeat-responsible-user-invariant.test.ts`; the failing file passes
in isolation (`6/6`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-responsible-user-invariant.test.ts` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/components/DecisionCard.test.tsx` — passed (`9/9`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/authz-existence-oracle-guard.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` — passed (`5/5`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/decisions-service.test.ts` — passed (`16/16`).
- `pnpm --filter paperclipai exec vitest run
src/__tests__/company-import-export-e2e.test.ts` — passed (`1/1`).
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` and `pnpm --filter
paperclipai typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Rebased-head focused suite — passed (`6` files, `88` tests): shared
decision contracts, Decisions service, OpenAPI routes, startup feedback
export, DecisionCard states, and attention helpers. The follow-up
stale-secondary-target regression passes in the DecisionCard suite
(`10/10`).
- Rebased-head scoped typechecks — passed for `@paperclipai/shared`,
`@paperclipai/db`, `@paperclipai/server`, and `@paperclipai/ui`.
- Rebased-head migration numbering and safety checks — passed after
renumbering the additive migration to `0193` and making it replay-safe
for environments that applied the earlier feature-branch number.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed with all gates clean.
- GitHub PR workflow and Greptile review for
`1f9f7645882d05dfdd9c99377c03a1f53f20e8be` — running after the
stale-secondary-target fix and PR metadata refresh on July 27, 2026.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook` exposes an existing
Storybook version mismatch (`storybook` 10.4.6 vs
`@storybook/addon-docs` 10.5.0); Decisions stories were validated with
the docs addon temporarily disabled and the tracked config remains
unchanged.

## Risks

- **Migration:** Adds replay-safe migration `0193`; migration numbering
and safety checks pass. The new tables and indexes are additive.
- **Authorization:** Effect execution intersects the proposing agent's
permissions with the responsible user context and fails closed; mistakes
could reject a valid proposal rather than silently over-authorize it.
- **Concurrency:** Target snapshots and idempotency keys protect against
stale or duplicate execution, but reviewers should focus on mixed-effect
partial outcomes and retry behavior.
- **UI:** Decisions are integrated into the existing attention feed
rather than a separate navigation surface, reducing routing risk but
increasing the importance of attention-item metadata compatibility.

71231dfa38 feat(audit): agent audit UI — company page + per-agent tab (#9744)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Operators need an audit record of agent actions across tasks,
comments, documents, approvals, and runs
> - The permission-gated audit read API provides that record, but
operators cannot inspect it in the product
> - A readable UI must preserve company boundaries, server-side
permission decisions, and redaction
> - Audit exports must also be safe to open in spreadsheet software and
must record the export itself
> - This pull request adds company and per-agent audit views plus a
guarded CSV export
> - The benefit is a searchable, filterable, and reviewable agent action
history with direct links back to work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Feature.** This change adds the frontend and CSV export for the agent
action audit log.

Refs #9731 and #9735.

- Problem: agent actions are recorded, but operators have no readable
product surface to inspect or export them.
- Solution: add a company audit page and a per-agent Audit tab that use
the permission-gated audit API.
- Alternative: build a separate plugin-only surface. This was rejected
because the existing permission model already supports a unified,
server-authoritative view.

This pull request targets the audit epic branch, which contains the
merged #9735 audit API.

## What Changed

- Added a company Audit page and sidebar entry.
- Added a per-agent Audit tab with a fixed agent filter.
- Added filters for agent, responsible user, action domain, entity type,
and date range.
- Added task and run links, responsible-user context, cursor pagination,
and readable action text.
- Added a permission-denied Enterprise card for callers without
`audit:view_agent_actions`.
- Added a CSV export that is permission-gated, capped, self-audited,
CSV-escaped, and protected against spreadsheet formula injection.
- Preserved the merged audit API cursor validation, redaction, and
sub-millisecond pagination behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/audit/AuditFeed.test.tsx` — 6
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/agent-action-audit-routes.test.ts` — 8 passed with
embedded PostgreSQL.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed across all workspaces.
- `pnpm build` — passed across all workspaces.
- `pnpm test:run` — all completed shards passed except one
environment-sensitive CLI assertion caused by injected static AWS
credential variables; the exact test passes 8/8 with those variables
unset.
- Manual Chromium QA exercised the populated feed, active filters,
permission-denied card, per-agent tab, and CSV export.

## Screenshots and Manual QA

- [All audit states exercised in
Chromium](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9744#issuecomment-4998997001)
- [Detailed browser report and per-agent tab root
cause](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9744#issuecomment-4998771061)

The per-agent redirect defect found during QA is fixed in this branch.

## Risks

Low to moderate risk. The UI and export route are additive and use the
existing company-scoped permission gate. The main risks are large
exports and spreadsheet interpretation. The export is capped at 10,000
rows, records truncation accurately, and prefixes formula-like cells as
text. There are no schema changes or migrations.

DottaandPaperclip a29b10510c fix(server): bound inherited workspace runtime services (#10589)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Execution workspaces can inherit runtime services from a project
workspace
> - A project workspace keeps current and historical runtime service
rows
> - The execution workspace read path returned all current rows,
including services removed from the current configuration
> - This pull request matches inherited rows to the current service
definitions
> - The benefit is bounded workspace payloads and accurate service
summaries

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Shared execution workspaces returned current historical service rows
that no longer matched the project workspace configuration. The response
size multiplied across every shared execution workspace.

**Expected behavior**

Shared execution workspaces must return only the newest runtime service
row for each service in the current project workspace configuration.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create one project workspace with many historical runtime service
rows.
2. Create many shared execution workspaces that inherit that project
workspace.
3. List the execution workspaces and inspect each `runtimeServices`
array.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`7301fae942c3d5826974335cb40d6f1e0d95d1e0`

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. The defect is in the server read model and is not
deployment-specific.

No duplicate or related public issue or pull request was found.

## What Changed

- Select only runtime service rows that match the current project
workspace service definitions.
- Preserve each matched service definition index in the API result.
- Avoid loading direct execution service rows for workspaces that
inherit project services.
- Add unit, integration, and volume regression coverage.

## Verification

- `pnpm --dir server exec vitest run
src/services/workspace-runtime-read-model.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t
'selectConfiguredRuntimeServiceRows|returns full details at the observed
volume|inherits only runtime-service rows'`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`

The focused test run passed 4 tests and skipped 27 unrelated tests.

## Risks

The read path now omits service rows that do not match the current
configuration. This is the intended behavior for inherited runtime
services. The change does not alter service persistence or lifecycle
transitions.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with model ID `gpt-5`. The context-window size is not
exposed to this run. The run used reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and GitHub tools.

DottaandPaperclip 627728bdde feat: add authoritative issue PATCH receipts (#10478)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents update tasks through the issue API.
> - The update response did not state which values changed.
> - Blocker updates also did not echo the scalar blocker IDs.
> - Agents therefore used an extra GET request to confirm a successful
write.
> - This pull request adds an authoritative change receipt and an
optional small response.
> - The benefit is fewer API calls with a clear and compatible write
contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change.

### Subsystem affected

Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, and the UI issue cache.

### Problem or motivation

A successful issue PATCH returned the updated issue, but it did not
identify the effective changes. Blocker writes returned relation
summaries without the scalar IDs. Agents could not distinguish a
confirmed clear operation from missing data. The response must confirm
committed field and blocker changes while existing UI clients continue
to receive the full issue by default.

### Proposed solution

Add a `changes` receipt. Add a conditional `blockedByIssueIds` echo.
Support `Prefer: return=minimal`. Keep the full response as the default.

### Alternatives considered

Make the small response the default for agent tokens. This would create
different response contracts by actor type, so this pull request does
not use that design.

### Roadmap alignment

This is a focused control-plane reliability improvement. It does not
duplicate an open roadmap milestone.

## What Changed

- Compute committed issue row and relation changes in the issue service.
- Omit no-op fields and truncate changed long text values to 200
characters.
- Echo blocker ID arrays for blocker set and clear requests.
- Add the opt-in `Prefer: return=minimal` response and
`Preference-Applied` header.
- Keep receipt metadata out of React Query issue caches.
- Add route and embedded Postgres tests for the new contract.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-activity-events-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts -t
"returns authoritative update receipts for row fields and blocker
relations"`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check`

## Risks

- Low compatibility risk. The default response only adds receipt fields.
- Minimal mode is opt-in. Existing clients do not receive a smaller
body.
- The receipt excludes `updatedAt` because the response already returns
it as the freshness anchor.
- Prose API and agent workflow guidance will follow after the server
contract is available.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact deployment ID, context window
size, and reasoning mode are not exposed to the agent. The agent used
repository tools, code execution, and test execution.

fc5a30805e feat(cli): add managed install, update, and service lifecycle (#10045)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies
> - Operators need a predictable installation path that survives beyond
an ephemeral `npx` process
> - A durable installation needs an owned per-user payload store, stable
command shim, safe shell integration, and supported service lifecycle
> - Updates must preserve recoverability by backing up data, installing
side-by-side, verifying the new payload, and retaining rollback state
> - Bootstrap scripts and privileged service operations must fail closed
across download, filesystem, ownership, and consent boundaries
> - This pull request integrates managed install, update, rollback,
service, uninstall, doctor, bootstrap-installer, and runtime-serving
support into one workflow
> - The benefit is a recoverable, inspectable, and documented
installation lifecycle with explicit safety boundaries across Linux,
macOS, containers, WSL, npm, npx, and source checkouts

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Problem

Paperclip lacks a first-class durable installation and lifecycle
workflow. Operators currently have to assemble npm/npx installation,
PATH setup, background-service management, updates, rollback,
diagnostics, and uninstall behavior themselves. That makes upgrades
harder to recover, creates inconsistent behavior across platforms, and
leaves shell/download/service trust boundaries without one documented
implementation.

### Proposed Solution

Add a managed per-user install store and stable shim, a verified shell
bootstrap installer, service lifecycle commands, install-mode-aware
update/rollback behavior, doctor checks, and documentation. Managed
updates back up the database, install and smoke-test a side-by-side
payload, atomically switch `current`, and retain prior payloads. The
shell installer pins registry/download trust boundaries and requires
explicit consent for non-interactive privileged actions.

### Alternatives Considered

- Keep recommending `npx`: simple for evaluation, but ephemeral and
unsuitable for stable services, atomic updates, or rollback.
- Require global npm installation only: familiar, but cannot provide the
owned side-by-side payload store and retained rollback semantics.
- Split the capability across multiple PRs: rejected because install,
update, service, uninstall, bootstrap, and serving behavior share
contracts and security boundaries that need review together.

### Related Pull Requests

- Supersedes #10042 and #10044 with one integrated final diff.
- Incorporates and replaces the closed preparatory work in #10032 and
#10034.

## What Changed

- Added `paperclipai install`, `update`/`upgrade`, rollback, uninstall,
service lifecycle, onboarding integration, and managed-install doctor
checks.
- Added a private managed payload store, verified manifest/marker
ownership, exclusive mutation locks, atomic manifest/current/shim
writes, retained previous payloads, and provenance validation.
- Added npm and GitHub-ref install sources with exact target resolution,
registry isolation, database backup, side-by-side verification, atomic
activation, service restart coordination, and failure rollback.
- Made managed-update backups report actionable service-start and
`--no-backup` recovery guidance for unreachable databases, while clean
never-onboarded instances skip an empty backup.
- Added systemd user and launchd service definitions, status/health/log
commands, single-instance coordination, stale-port recovery, and
explicit sudo/lingering consent handling.
- Added the `scripts/install.sh` bootstrap path with checked two-stage
downloads, pinned public npm registry usage, platform checks,
dry-run/non-interactive controls, and Docker fixtures.
- Added embedded Postgres/native bootstrap integration,
hot-restart/systemd-notify serving support, passive update notices,
configuration contracts, README/CLI/install documentation, and focused
regression tests.
- Security re-review should explicitly re-verify: (1)
`addManagedPathBlock`/`removeManagedPathBlock` reject symlinked or
non-regular rc files, assert current-user ownership, preserve
restrictive modes, and replace atomically; (2) managed shim replacement
rejects unsafe parents, foreign-owned or multiply linked files, and uses
checked atomic replacement; (3) the shell installer and sudo path
preserve explicit consent and checked downloads; and (4) installed
service/runtime serving remains bound to the validated managed shim and
instance configuration.

## Verification

- `bash -n scripts/install.sh scripts/clean-install-git.sh
scripts/clean-install-npm.sh scripts/test-install-sh-docker.sh`
- `pnpm exec vitest run cli/src/__tests__/install-store.test.ts

cli/src/__tests__/managed-install-check.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/onboard-service.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/service-health-check.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/service-manager.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/update-command.test.ts
cli/src/__tests__/update-notice.test.ts
packages/db/src/embedded-postgres-native.test.ts` — 9 files, 66 tests
passed
- `pnpm --dir cli typecheck`
- `pnpm --dir cli build`
- Follow-up verification: `pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/update-command.test.ts` (14/14), `pnpm --dir cli
typecheck`, `pnpm --dir cli build`, and `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/server typecheck`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- Full `pnpm test:run` exercised all suites; an injected static AWS
credential changed one unrelated doctor expectation, which passed when
those credentials were removed. A second run cleared that case and
exposed stale pre-existing adapter-utils `dist` output; rebuilding
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils` made the isolated test pass. The updated PR
CI is the authoritative clean-workspace full-suite run.

## Risks

- Installer/update code writes executable shims, symlinks, shell rc
blocks, service definitions, and managed payloads; ownership,
regular-file, symlink, hard-link, marker, and path-containment checks
fail closed before destructive changes.
- The bootstrap installer executes downloaded tooling; downloads are
staged and checked before execution, npm traffic is pinned to the public
registry, and non-interactive privileged behavior requires explicit
consent.
- Linux lingering may invoke `sudo`; the command is surfaced and
confirmed before execution, and unsupported service managers fall back
to foreground-run guidance.
- Database migrations remain forward-only; payload rollback does not
reverse migrations, so managed updates create a backup before activation
unless explicitly disabled.
- Service restart and runtime serving touch process/port ownership;
lifecycle locks, health/version checks, and stable-shim service
definitions reduce split-brain and stale-process risk.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agents using GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6-sol, with
reasoning, repository/API access, shell execution, and test tooling. The
runtime did not expose a reliable context-window size.

TonioandClaude Opus 5 492555aaf9 design(decisions): flatten decision cards to two task-borrowed types (#10474)
The Decisions queue ran five parallel colour/icon vocabularies chosen by
source kind, plus a separate severity badge, so two rows needing the same
response could look unrelated and none of it matched the task list.

Every row now resolves to one of two kinds, each borrowing the task status
it corresponds to: blocking renders as `blocked`, review as `in_review`,
both through StatusGlyph and the existing --status-task-icon-* tokens.
Source kinds keep their own wording; only colour and icon merge.

Card anatomy follows the design mock: no left accent rail, rounded cards
16px apart, a "/"-separated meta breadcrumb, a named See more / See less
control, and no separately tinted drawer when expanded. Verb order is
fixed across both states. Severity moves from chrome to a toolbar filter.

Four defects fixed along the way:
- blocked rows reported themselves as their own blocker (server-side)
- the task key was missing wherever the row's subject IS the task
- the task quicklook stuck open, because closing handed focus back to a
  trigger that opens on focus
- the card ring appeared on click, and only on cards with a toggle

Also: the standard task preview is aligned to its trigger's text and
scales out of it, the task eyebrow renders its project as a tile, and the
first motion tokens land alongside the disclosure and crossfade.

Supersedes #9574 and #9575.

Devin Foley c0b875c46c fix(codex): let sandbox runs use the sandbox image's own Codex login (#10582)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Codex agents can run inside sandbox environments, and operators can
bake a Codex login into the sandbox image during interactive image setup
> - Two credential gates (the control plane's pre-dispatch
configuration-incomplete gate and the adapter's execute-time fail-fast)
required host-side Codex credentials — a usable `auth.json` in the
managed home or a configured `OPENAI_API_KEY` — regardless of where the
run executes
> - On managed cloud hosts a local Codex login never exists, so every
sandbox run of a Codex agent failed immediately with "configuration
incomplete: no Codex credentials available for managed home …", even
though the adapter's inbound auth merge already supports the image-login
case end to end
> - This pull request makes the execute-time gate probe the sandbox for
its own `~/.codex/auth.json` before failing, and exempts
sandbox-destined runs from the pre-dispatch host check
> - The benefit is that a sandbox image signed in to Codex is a
first-class credential source, matching what the auth-merge,
precedence-warning, and copy-back machinery were already built for

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Running a `codex_local` agent in a sandbox environment whose image
carries a Codex login failed instantly with `configuration incomplete:
no Codex credentials available for managed home "…/codex-home". Sign in
to Codex on the host with a ChatGPT subscription, or bind a per-agent
OPENAI_API_KEY secret for this agent.` The host has no Codex login and
never will on a managed cloud deployment; the sandbox's own login was
never consulted.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a sandbox environment and capture a custom image after
signing in to Codex inside the interactive image setup.
2. Create a `codex_local` agent that uses that environment, on a host
with no Codex login and no `OPENAI_API_KEY` bound.
3. Start a run: it fails pre-dispatch with the configuration-incomplete
blocker above.

**Expected behavior**

The run launches and Codex authenticates with the sandbox image's own
login, the same way the adapter's host↔sandbox auth merge already keeps
the sandbox credential when the host ships none. A run should only fail
fast when neither the host, a bound `OPENAI_API_KEY`, nor the sandbox
has credentials.

**Paperclip version**

Current `master` (cloud image deployments).

**Deployment mode**

Managed cloud stacks (any deployment where the server host has no local
Codex login).

## What Changed

- Extracted the adapter's execute-time gate into
`assertCodexCredentialsLaunchable`: when host readiness fails and the
target is a sandbox, it probes `~/.codex/auth.json` in the sandbox (same
command the auth-precedence warning uses) and proceeds with a log line
naming the credential source; when the sandbox has no login either, the
error now names all three remediation options (sandbox image sign-in,
per-agent `OPENAI_API_KEY`, host sign-in). Non-sandbox targets keep
today's strict behavior byte-for-byte.
- The control plane's pre-dispatch gate in
`resolveExecutionRunAdapterConfig` now takes the selected environment's
driver and skips the host-credential check for sandbox-destined runs —
only the adapter can probe the sandbox once it is up, so the
execute-time gate is the authority there. Non-sandbox runs keep the
early, well-attributed configuration-incomplete blocker.
- The codex Test flow needed no change: it already seeds host
credentials only when they exist and otherwise leaves the sandbox's
`CODEX_HOME` alone; this aligns the run path with it.

## Verification

- `cd packages/adapters/codex-local && pnpm vitest run` — 210 tests,
including new gate cases: sandbox login present (proceeds + logs
source), sandbox and host both credential-less (fails with the extended
message), non-sandbox target (strict host requirement kept, no sandbox
probe), per-agent API key (no probe at all).
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-project-env.test.ts
src/__tests__/codex-local-adapter-environment.test.ts` — includes the
new sandbox-exemption case next to the existing blocker tests.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server` and `packages/adapters/codex-local`.

## Risks

- Sandbox-destined misconfigurations (no credentials anywhere) now
surface at adapter execute time instead of pre-dispatch, so they read as
an adapter failure with a precise message rather than a
configuration-incomplete blocker. The trade-off is deliberate: the
sandbox must be up to know whether credentials exist, and the failure
message names the exact remediations.
- The sandbox probe adds one short (5s-capped) shell command to sandbox
runs whose host has no credentials; runs with host credentials or a
bound key are untouched.
- Self-hosted behavior is unchanged for local and SSH targets.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue describes this exact scheduler race. Related pull
requests address active-run overlap or queued-run buildup, but they do
not atomically claim a due timer interval: #9457, #8416, and #3858.

**What happened?**

Two overlapping calls to `tickTimers()` could both read the same due
timer baseline. Both calls could enqueue a timer run for the same agent
and interval.

**Expected behavior**

Only one scheduler tick must claim a due timer interval. A second
overlapping tick must observe that the interval was already claimed and
skip it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an active agent with a 60-second timer interval.
2. Set `lastHeartbeatAt` to more than 60 seconds in the past.
3. Call `tickTimers(now)` twice with `Promise.all()`.
4. Observe that the old code can enqueue two runs for the same interval.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` before this branch.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with embedded PostgreSQL.

## What Changed

- Added an atomic conditional update that claims a due timer interval by
advancing `lastHeartbeatAt`.
- Made `tickTimers()` enqueue only after that conditional update
succeeds.
- Preserved first-heartbeat telemetry when the timer claim advances
`lastHeartbeatAt` before run completion.
- Added regression tests for concurrent claims and first-heartbeat
telemetry.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-stale-queue-invalidation.test.ts` — 24 tests
passed on the final rebased commit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "preserves
first-heartbeat telemetry after a timer interval claim|tracks the first
heartbeat with the agent role"` — 2 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed after the
review fix.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- `pnpm test:run` — 3,121 tests passed and 2 tests skipped. One
unrelated runtime-skills test exceeded its 5-second limit under
full-suite load.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-runtime-skills.test.ts` — the timed-out file
passed in isolation, 2 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/status-card-migrations.test.ts` — the unrelated CI timeout passed in
isolation.
- The full PR CI matrix passed after one rerun of that unrelated
timeout.
- Greptile passed with zero new comments and no unresolved review
threads.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only affects due timer claims.
- If enqueue fails after the claim, the next timer attempt waits for one
interval. This is safer than duplicate agent execution.
- No schema, migration, API, UI, or dependency changes are included.

Devin Foley 90ead239a8 feat(ui/server): name cross-company environment secret refs instead of calling them missing (#10577)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Environment configs (sandbox providers, SSH) can bind stored company
secrets through `format: "secret-ref"` fields, picked in the environment
editor's secret picker
> - Environments are instance-scoped and shared by every company on an
instance, but the picker lists only the current company's secrets, so a
ref pointing at another company's secret renders as "Missing secret (…)"
in destructive styling
> - That state is indistinguishable from a genuinely deleted secret, so
operators "fix" a healthy binding by creating a duplicate secret in
their own company — the exact sequence that used to corrupt bindings
before #10576
> - This pull request adds an instance-gated metadata endpoint for an
environment's secret refs and teaches the picker to name a cross-company
secret and its owner honestly
> - The benefit is that operators can tell a healthy cross-company
binding from a broken one, and stop creating duplicate secrets

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

In the environment editor, a secret-ref field that points at a secret
owned by a different company shows "Missing secret (22095402…)" in red,
with "The previously selected secret is no longer available. Pick
another or remove the binding." The binding is actually healthy — the
current company's picker just cannot list the other company's secrets.
Operators react by creating a duplicate secret and re-pointing the
field.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

The editor should know the referenced secret's name, status, and owning
company (metadata only, never the value) and present a cross-company ref
neutrally, a deleted secret as deleted, and only an unknown id as
missing.

Related: #10576 (fixes the binding corruption this UI state used to
trigger).

## What Changed

- New `GET /environments/:id/secret-refs` returns `{ refs: [{
configPath, secretId, name, status, companyId, companyName }] }` for the
environment's config-derived secret refs. Values are never returned. The
route sits behind `assertCanAccessInstanceEnvironments`, the same gate
as environment editing.
- New `secretService.describeSecretRefs` loads that metadata across
companies; unknown ids are omitted.
- `SecretBindingPicker` reads an optional `SecretRefHintsContext` (keyed
by secret id). With a hint, a ref the company list cannot show renders
as `NAME — Owning Company` with neutral styling and the note "Owned by
the … company. The binding keeps working; selecting a secret from this
list re-points it here." A hint with `status: "deleted"` reports the
secret as deleted. Without hints, behavior is byte-identical to before —
agent editors and other picker users are unaffected.
- `CompanyEnvironments` fetches descriptors for the environment being
edited and provides them through the context.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` — new endpoint happy path, agent
403 (descriptors never computed), and embedded-Postgres coverage proving
cross-company names resolve and unknown ids drop out.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/components/SecretBindingPicker.test.tsx
src/components/JsonSchemaForm.test.tsx
src/pages/CompanyEnvironments.test.tsx` — hinted cross-company
rendering, hinted deleted secret, and unchanged no-hint fallback.
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `server` and `ui`.
- Manual: edit an environment whose secret-ref field references another
company's secret; the field names the secret and its owning company
instead of "Missing secret".

## Risks

- The endpoint exposes secret names and company names across companies
to instance-level environment editors. Those actors already manage
instance-shared environments (and instance admins are implicit members
of every company), so this reveals no secret material and no new reach;
the service method documents that callers must sit behind an
instance-level gate.
- UI change is additive and context-gated; pickers without a provider
render exactly as before.

Devin Foley f51cba33fa fix(server): keep environment secret bindings consistent when re-pointing config secrets (#10576)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents can run inside environments (SSH boxes, sandbox providers); a
sandbox environment's config can reference stored company secrets (for
example a provider API key) through `format: "secret-ref"` fields
> - Environments are instance-scoped and shared by every company on an
instance, but `company_secret_bindings` rows are company-scoped, and the
environment routes synced config-derived bindings under one guessed
"context company" resolved from the environment's existing bindings
> - When a save re-pointed a secret-ref field at a secret owned by a
different company, the binding sync threw after the config row had
already been persisted: the config referenced the new secret, the
binding still pointed at the old one, every later lease acquisition
failed with `Secret is not bound to environment:<id> at apiKey`, and the
stale cross-company binding made every later save fail with a
company-context conflict — with no route-level way to recover
> - This pull request makes config-derived bindings follow the company
that owns each referenced secret, and makes the environment write and
its binding syncs atomic
> - The benefit is that environment saves can no longer strand an
environment in a half-updated state that breaks all of its runs

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #10577 (companion UX change: the editor state that nudges operators
into this sequence).

**What happened?**

Saving an environment whose secret-ref config field points at a secret
owned by a different company than the environment's existing binding
partially applied: the config row updated, the binding sync failed
server-side, and the environment was left referencing a secret it has no
binding for. Every run that leased the environment then failed with
`lease_acquire_failed: ... Secret is not bound to environment:<id> at
apiKey`, and every later save of the environment returned 409
`Environment secret bindings already use a different company context.` —
with no route-level way to recover.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On an instance with two companies, create a sandbox environment from
company A with a picker-bound API-key secret owned by A (the binding
lands in A).
2. From company B, create a new secret and re-point the environment's
API-key field at it, then save.
3. The save persists the config but the binding sync throws, so no
binding for B's secret exists.
4. Run any agent that uses the environment, or try to save the
environment again.

**Expected behavior**

The save either fully applies (config and bindings consistent) or fully
fails. Re-pointing a config secret ref to a secret owned by another
company moves the binding with the secret.

**Paperclip version**

Reproduced on current `master` (also present on recent release images).

**Deployment mode**

Multi-company server deployment (any mode with more than one company on
the instance).

## What Changed

- New `secretService.replaceSecretRefsForInstanceTarget`: writes each
config-derived binding under the company that owns the referenced
secret, replaces all non-`env.*` bindings of the target across every
company, and validates every ref (secret exists, not deleted,
config-path and projection-class rules) before any row is written.
`env.*` env-var bindings stay company-scoped and untouched.
- The environment create and update routes now run the environment write
and its binding syncs inside one `db.transaction`, threading the
transaction through new optional executor seams on
`environmentService.create/update` and the existing `SecretBindingDb`
seam pattern, so an invalid ref rolls the whole save back instead of
leaving a half-updated environment.
- `resolveEnvironmentSecretContextCompanyId` no longer lets existing
bindings veto the caller's context (the 409s above); it now only picks
where new raw-pasted secrets are created and how env-var bindings and
probes resolve: explicit route/query company first, then the single
company the bindings live in, then the actor's company.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm vitest run src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-instance-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/environment-custom-image-routes.test.ts` (165 tests,
includes new coverage below)
- New embedded-Postgres tests prove: a re-point moves the binding to the
new secret's company and deletes the stale row; refs across several
companies each bind under their own secret's company; an unknown secret
ref rejects without touching existing bindings; `env.*` rows survive
config-ref replacement.
- New route tests prove: a cross-company re-point that previously 409'd
now saves, with the update and binding replacement on the same
transaction executor; a failing ref surfaces as 422.
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck`

## Risks

- Behavioral shift: environment saves no longer 409 on a company-context
mismatch between the caller and existing bindings; bindings follow the
referenced secret's company instead. Environment routes are
instance-admin gated, and instance admins already had access to every
company's secrets by passing the company explicitly, so this removes an
ordering trap rather than widening access.
- Runtime lease resolution is unchanged: a run still resolves
environment secrets under the run's own company, so an environment
referencing company B's secret still only leases for company B runs
(fail-closed as before).
- The delete route's per-company binding cleanup is unchanged.

32c1a8576c fix(server): self-heal execution workspaces whose recorded branch no longer exists (#10578)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Each agent task gets an execution workspace (a git worktree) with a
recorded branch name; workspace validation compares that record to the
worktree before every run
> - Agents sometimes rename their task branch (for example to a `feat/*`
PR branch), so the recorded branch never existed or was deleted
> - Validation then fails every run with "expected branch does not
exist" — a deterministic `workspace_validation_failed` loop with no
self-heal path
> - A recorded branch with no resolvable commit has nothing to lose, so
adopting a clean, registered checked-out branch is trivially
forward-only
> - This pull request routes that exact case through the existing
audited forward-reconciliation path, in both the runtime and the manual
board reconcile endpoint
> - The benefit is that these stranded workspaces heal themselves while
dirty worktrees, detached HEADs, unregistered paths, and ambiguous git
states all stay fail-closed

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists; the underlying bug is described here per
`bug_report.yml`. Related PR: #10574 self-heals the sibling provisioning
failure loop uncovered by the same incident diagnosis.

**What happened?**
An execution workspace whose recorded branch was renamed away failed
every subsequent run with `workspace_validation_failed` ("expected
branch does not exist"). The safe-repair matrix refused the case, so the
task stayed blocked until a human intervened.

**Expected behavior**
When the recorded branch is confirmed absent and the worktree is clean
and registered with its checked-out branch matching HEAD, Paperclip
adopts the checked-out branch through the audited forward-reconciliation
path and the next run proceeds.

**Steps to reproduce**
In an isolated workspace, rename the task branch (`git branch -m
<recorded> feat/something`) or delete the recorded branch, leave the
worktree clean, then start a new run on the task. Validation fails on
every retry.

**Paperclip version or commit**
master as of the branch point of this PR.

**Deployment mode**
Local trusted deployment with git-worktree isolated workspaces.

## What Changed

- `ensureGitWorktreeBranchCoherent` (workspace runtime): a missing
recorded branch with a clean worktree, an existing checked-out branch,
and a registered branch matching HEAD now goes through audited forward
reconciliation instead of failing closed. Gated behind
`enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`.
- `reconcileExecutionWorkspaceBranch` mode `forward` (service): accepts
the same case so the board reconcile endpoint can repair it manually.
- The service inspection now classifies each branch ref as `resolved` /
`missing` / `error` (`git rev-parse --verify --quiet`, distinguishing an
absent ref from git failing to inspect the repo). Adoption requires a
confirmed-missing recorded ref **and** a resolved target ref, so a git
error can never bypass ancestry validation and a nonexistent branch name
is never persisted.
- Removed the test that asserted this case fails closed; it is
superseded by tests that assert the new behavior.
- New tests: successful adoption, dirty-worktree refusal, refusal when
the checked-out branch ref does not resolve either, and disabled-flag
behavior.

## Verification

- `server`: `npx vitest run
src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t "reconcil"` — 11
passed.
- `server`: `npx vitest run src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts -t
"adopt"` — 7 passed.
- `npx tsc --noEmit` in `server/` is clean.
- Manually validated the underlying repair on a live stranded workspace
before automating it: creating the recorded branch at the clean HEAD
ended the validation-failure loop without touching the agent's PR
branch.

## Risks

- The change relaxes a fail-closed gate, so the main risk is
over-adoption. Mitigations: the exception requires flag-on, clean
worktree, registered worktree path, registered branch matching HEAD, a
confirmed-missing (not merely unreadable) recorded ref, and a resolvable
target ref; everything else still fails closed. Every adoption goes
through the audited reconcile path with an issue comment trail.
- No migrations, no API surface changes (the reconcile route returns the
same hand-picked fields).

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 53bcf3897f feat: sync @-mentioned projects into remote sandboxes (confined sandbox transport, flag ON) (#10564)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The run layer must move project context into the sandbox that
executes the agent
> - Local sandboxes already stage referenced projects for @-mentions
> - Remote confined sandboxes dropped the whole referenced set, so the
agent lost needed files and paths
> - This pull request keeps the confined sandbox transport aligned with
the local behavior for referenced projects
> - It does this behind a remote-only flag that defaults on, while SSH
keeps the old drop-only path
> - The benefit is that remote runs can read the same referenced project
context that local runs already provide

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change touches server orchestration, sandbox
transport, and observability.

**Problem or motivation**

A run can @-mention another project. Local targets stage each referenced
project and give the agent a path. Remote confined sandboxes dropped the
full referenced set, so the agent could not read those project files or
paths.

**Proposed solution**

Enable referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox transport behind
`PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`, which defaults on. Keep
the SSH transport out of scope and keep it dropping referenced projects.
Repoint each referenced workspace hint at its staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directory. Publish
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON` on the confined sandbox lane. Count each
per-project remote staging failure as a `staging` failure in the
requested-vs-synced metrics.

**Alternatives considered**

Keep the remote path drop-only. That keeps the gap open. Move the change
into SSH too. That expands scope beyond the target transport and adds
risk.

**Roadmap alignment**

No matching item in `ROADMAP.md` showed up in this review.

**Additional context**

The change lands in three commits. The first commit opens the gate for
the confined sandbox transport. The second commit repoints the workspace
hints and publishes the workspace map. The third commit records
per-project staging failure data.

## What Changed

- Opened remote referenced-project sync for the confined sandbox
transport behind `PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC_REMOTE`.
- Repointed referenced workspace hints to the staged
`project-<projectId>` sandbox directories and published
`PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACES_JSON`.
- Counted per-project remote staging failures as first-class `staging`
failures in the requested-vs-synced observability.

## Verification

- The pushed ref
`refs/heads/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox` resolves to
the authorized submit SHA.
- `git log --oneline
origin/master..origin/feat/sync-referenced-projects-remote-sandbox`
shows exactly the three expected commits.
- The handoff reports server typecheck clean, adapter-utils typecheck
clean, and the listed unit tests passing.
- The handoff also reports no open review comments and no Greptile score
yet.

## Risks

- The change touches authorization and sandbox path handling, so
regressions could block remote runs or expose the wrong project context.
- The new flag defaults on, so any bug in the remote path affects normal
remote use.
- SSH stays out of scope, so the two transport paths must remain
distinct.

DottaandPaperclip cd7f84965c fix(recovery): preserve hand-back wake liveness (#10562)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service delivers issue work to assigned agents.
> - Recovery can hand an issue back to its agent while the recovery run
is still active.
> - The hand-back wake can merge into that active run and disappear when
the run exits.
> - The stranded-work scan also treats the successful recovery run as
proof that the handed-back issue is live.
> - This pull request keeps the hand-back wake for follow-up delivery
and lets the scan repair a lost wake.
> - The benefit is that an assigned issue continues after recovery
without manual operator action.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. This is related to the wake reconciliation work
in #8943.

**What happened?**

A recovery action could hand an assigned issue back from `blocked` to
`todo`. The `issue_recovery_action_restored` wake then merged into the
recovery run that made the change. The wake disappeared when that run
exited. The stranded-work scan did not repair the issue because it
treated the successful recovery run as current liveness.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must dispatch the hand-back wake after the recovery run exits.
If that delivery is lost, the stranded-work scan must enqueue the
assigned `todo` issue again.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a recovery run for an assigned blocked issue.
2. Resolve a recovery action with the `handed_back` outcome.
3. Move the issue to `todo` while the recovery run is still active.
4. Observe that the wake merges into the active run and no new run
starts after it exits.
5. Run the stranded-work scan and observe that the successful latest run
prevents repair.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`131d476a7e`

**Deployment mode**

Local dev (`pnpm dev`). The defect is in the core server and is not
deployment-specific.

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific. This is a core heartbeat and recovery defect.

## What Changed

- Added `issue_recovery_action_restored` to the wake reasons that
require follow-up delivery when an issue run is active.
- Made the stranded-work scan detect a resolved hand-back that occurred
during or after the latest successful run.
- Added focused regression tests for the heartbeat coalescing seam and
the stranded-work repair shape.
- Documented the hand-back liveness guarantee in execution semantics
section 9.1.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` passed: 104
tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- `pnpm test:run` passed the server shard (3,095 passed, 2 skipped) and
UI shard (3,182 passed). One unrelated CLI test failed because the agent
environment exports static AWS credentials. `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -u AWS_SESSION_TOKEN pnpm exec vitest run
cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` passed all 8 tests.
- `git diff --check` passed.
- All GitHub checks passed on commit `8b380e67e6`.
- Greptile gave 5/5 confidence with no comments or unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Low risk. The follow-up rule affects only a recovery hand-back wake
that arrives while the same issue already has an active run.
- The backstop adds one indexed recovery-action lookup for an assigned
`todo` issue whose latest run succeeded.
- The timestamp check uses the latest run start time. This includes
hand-backs made by that run and later hand-backs, but excludes older
resolved actions.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex with GPT-5 (`gpt-5`), agentic reasoning, tool use, and
code execution. The serving context-window size is not exposed to the
agent.

b4a7a12985 feat: make recovery updates quieter (#10542)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The recovery subsystem restores work after an agent run stops or
loses state
> - Recovery notices currently use the same visual weight as normal work
comments
> - Recovery agents can also post long narratives that obscure the
useful hand-off
> - The server must identify recovery output because agents cannot set
presentation controls
> - This pull request adds compact recovery notices, structured action
references, and brief recovery prompts
> - The benefit is a quieter issue thread that still keeps recovery
state inspectable

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, and
`packages/adapter-utils`.

**Problem or motivation**

Recovery notices and recovery-run comments can dominate an issue thread.
Operators must scan routine recovery narration before they find the work
hand-off.

**Proposed solution**

Give routine recovery output a compact system-notice presentation.
Derive the presentation on the server so agents cannot hide arbitrary
comments. Keep the successful missing-state summary fully visible
because that comment is the recovery deliverable.

**Alternatives considered**

The UI could detect recovery text. That approach is fragile and does not
provide structured action references. Agents could also set presentation
directly, but that would weaken the current board-only security
boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change refines the completed “Self-healing runs & automatic
recovery” and “Enforced Outcomes” roadmap areas. It does not add a
competing roadmap capability.

**Additional context**

The scope covers shared comment validation, server recovery notices,
agent-comment derivation, and recovery prompt text. No database
migration is needed because presentation data already uses JSON.

## What Changed

- Add the `compact` issue-comment presentation density to shared
constants, types, and validation.
- Give recovery escalation, waiting, and in-place notices compact titles
and structured recovery-action metadata.
- Use recovery-action metadata for notice deduplication, with the legacy
text marker as a compatibility fallback.
- Derive compact presentation for comments from recovery-scoped runs
while preserving the board-only presentation boundary.
- Keep successful missing-state recovery summaries fully visible.
- Ask recovery participants to record outcomes in `resolutionNote` and
keep source-issue comments brief.
- Add shared, route, service, and prompt tests for the new behavior and
exceptions.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- Focused Vitest coverage: 320 tests passed across shared validators,
adapter prompts, issue comments, recovery actions, and heartbeat
recovery.
- Full server phase: 292 files passed, 3,094 tests passed, and 2 tests
skipped.
- Full UI phase: 386 files passed and 3,182 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`
- Known master baseline: `cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` expects
`pass`, but the current implementation returns `warn` when strict secret
mode is disabled for Postgres. This branch does not change CLI secrets
code.

## Risks

- Low migration risk. The presentation column is JSON and needs no
database migration.
- Recovery-run detection depends on the persisted run context snapshot.
- Structured metadata becomes the primary deduplication key. The
existing body marker remains as a fallback for older comments.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex with `gpt-5.6-sol`. The runtime did not expose the
context-window size. The model used agentic reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 6a3cbe1c58 fix(ui): load the full selected timeline window (#9576)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The timeline page visualizes company activity across a selected date
window
> - The UI requested only the first paginated issue batch even when the
selected zoom covered seven or thirty days
> - A busy company could therefore render an incomplete timeline while
the controls implied the full window was loaded
> - The timeline query needs to exhaust the API pagination for the
selected date range and combine each page without duplicating shared
timeline records
> - This pull request adds a paginated window loader, merges the
returned timeline data, and covers the multi-page behavior with a
regression test
> - The benefit is that the visible timeline matches the selected zoom
window instead of silently omitting later issues

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Pre-submission checklist

- [x] I searched existing open and closed issues and pull requests; no
matching report or implementation was found.
- [x] I reproduced the behavior against the pre-change `master`
implementation.
- [x] I confirmed the error originates in Paperclip's core timeline UI,
not an adapter, provider, or local configuration.

### What happened?

Selecting the default seven-day timeline range loaded only the first API
page (up to 500 issues). Companies with more activity therefore
displayed incomplete data even though the controls showed the full
selected window.

### Expected behavior

The timeline should load all issue pages that fall within the selected
date window.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open the company timeline for a date range containing more than 500
issues.
2. Keep the default seven-day range or select another multi-day preset.
3. Observe that only the first page of issue-backed timeline data is
shown.

### Paperclip version or commit

Pre-change `master`.

### Deployment mode

Local dev source build. The behavior is not adapter-specific and is
independent of database mode and access context.

### Privacy checklist

- [x] No logs, configuration, personally identifiable information, or
user data are included.

## What Changed

- Added pagination parameters to the timeline API client contract.
- Added a timeline window loader that requests every issue page and
deduplicates actors, spans, events, and edges while preserving
pagination metadata.
- Switched the timeline query to use the complete-window loader.
- Added a regression test proving a 501-issue window loads both API
pages and combines their records.
- Preserved delegation events and edges when parent and child issues
fall on different API pages, with a server regression test.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/work-timeline-service.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Timeline.test.tsx` — 16 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates clean.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.
- Remote CI: build, typecheck, both e2e shards, canary, policy,
security, every general/serialized test shard, and the aggregate
`verify` gate passed on head `24784b28e9`.

## Risks

- Low risk: the change is isolated to timeline data loading and has no
schema or API endpoint changes.
- Large date windows now make sequential requests for all issue pages,
increasing request count for very active companies; the 500-item page
size bounds each response.
- Merged records rely on stable identifiers or composite event/edge
keys; the regression test covers cross-page combination and
deduplication behavior.

execution, and test execution. The runtime does not expose the exact
context-window size.

Devin Foley 075951f6bd Fix import completion UX: inbox flood, false-failure message, stale company list (#10538)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company Import/Export (#10507, hardened in #10523 and #10531) now
imports a large company end to end via an async job
> - A real 1,418-issue import succeeded, but three rough edges showed up
in that success
> - Imported issues flooded the inbox, a completed import surfaced a
false "failed" message after its in-memory result expired, and the new
company didn't appear in the switcher until a manual refresh
> - This pull request keeps imported issues out of the inbox, treats an
expired-but-completed import as success, and refreshes the company list
on completion
> - The benefit is that a successful import looks and feels successful,
and doesn't bury the user's inbox in historical tasks

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Refs #10507 / #10523 / #10531 (Import/Export and its hardening). No
open issue; three post-import bugs described above.

## What Changed

- **Imported issues no longer flood the inbox.** The inbox "mine" tab is
a query: an issue is "touched" if the user authored a comment on it, and
import re-attributes bundled user comments to the importing user — so
every imported issue appeared. Import now seeds a per-user
`issue_inbox_archives` row for each imported issue (via a batched
`issues.archiveImportedInbox`), the exact table the inbox visibility
query excludes. Gated on an actor user id, so agent/system imports and
normal issue creation are untouched; genuine new activity still
resurfaces the issue.
- **A completed import no longer shows a false failure.** The in-memory
job's terminal retention was 5 minutes, so a poll after that 404'd and
the UI showed "failed." Retention is extended to 60 minutes — the real
mitigation for a user who steps away during a long import.
`watchImportJob` additionally treats a *server-confirmed* success whose
full result is no longer retained (a `succeeded` status carrying only
the compact summary — a cloud tenant job, or a board job whose full
in-memory result aged out) as a soft success ("import completed — open
the company"), navigating by the summary's company id. A 404 while the
job is still being watched is *not* treated as success: a running job is
never dropped by the retention sweep, so its disappearance means a
restart mid-import that may not have finished, and it surfaces the
honest "may have restarted while the import ran" error. A first-poll 404
(the id never existed) is likewise a real error.
- **The imported company appears without a refresh.** `onSuccess` now
invalidates the companies/switcher query unconditionally (covering both
the full-result and expired-but-completed paths) and navigates by the
job's company id.

## Verification

- shared/server/ui typechecks clean; 15 UI tests in the touched spec
green, plus the embedded-Postgres import batching and portability-routes
suites.
- New tests: embedded-Postgres test that imported touched issues are
archived for the actor and excluded from the inbox query while a
normally-created issue still appears; job resolvable at the old window+1
and only 404s past 60 min; UI soft success on a server-confirmed
`succeeded` job without a retained full result (no error, list
invalidated, navigates by company id), a running-then-gone job → honest
error (restart mid-import), and a first-poll 404 → error.

## Risks

- Low and import-scoped: the inbox archive only affects imported issues
for the importing user; normal issue creation and non-user
(agent/system) imports are unchanged. Retention extension is a constant;
the async job store remains in-memory by design. A restart mid-import
still 404s and is surfaced honestly as a possible failure (never masked
as success); only a server-confirmed success whose full result has
expired is reported as a soft success.

## Model Used

- Implementation: Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic). Review
hardening (the confirmed-success narrowing): Claude Opus 4.8
(`claude-opus-4-8`, Anthropic). Both via the Claude Code CLI with
extended thinking + tool use; root-caused against the live import.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 9f7565f4ce feat: activate OpenTelemetry spans on the sandbox start path (#10536)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip moves agent work through sandboxed execution and
control-plane services.
> - The sandbox start path now has a no-op span seam.
> - This change turns that seam on when OTLP export is configured.
> - It keeps the default path unchanged when export is off.
> - The result is structured startup traces with low-cardinality
attributes and explicit parent links.
> - The benefit is better observability without changing normal
behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change.

### Problem
The sandbox start path has a tracer seam, but it stays a no-op unless
the OTLP export path is active.

### Proposed solution
Enable the server tracer on sandbox bring-up, open a root span, parent
each startup boundary to that root, and keep the export path opt-in
behind `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`.

### Alternatives considered
- Keep the start path as a no-op. I rejected that path because it leaves
sandbox start opaque when OTLP export is already configured.
- Add broad attributes for commands and paths. I rejected that path
because the span allowlist must stay low-cardinality.

### Roadmap alignment
This follows the current OTel sandbox-start work and keeps the default
path unchanged.

## What Changed

- Add a root sandbox startup span and child spans for each named startup
boundary.
- Keep concurrent bridge spans parented to the root span.
- Inject the server tracer through the adapter deps without
OpenTelemetry imports in the engine.
- Attach host-received provider duration attributes only when the values
are finite.
- Keep span attributes inside the allowlist and keep command, path, id,
and error text out of span data.

## Verification

- The pushed branch already passed `pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`.
- The pushed branch already passed `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/`.
- The pushed branch already passed `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec vitest run src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts
src/__tests__/instrumentation.test.ts`.
- The pushed branch already passed `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server
exec tsc --noEmit`.

## Risks

- OTel export changes trace volume when the endpoint is set.
- The allowlist limits trace detail, so new fields need care.
- The change stays no-op when OTLP export is off.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-5, tool use enabled.

Devin Foley 276ae3a75d Harden company import: durable UI, async jobs, integrity guard, batched inserts (#10523)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company Import/Export (#10507) moves whole companies between
instances as portability bundles
> - Real-world use on a large company (1,418 issues, ~10.6k comments)
surfaced a cluster of related failures: the import took hours and the
browser connection died while the server kept running, a retry silently
produced a second partial import, the progress/error UI gave no durable
signal, and a cloud-tenant user couldn't even open the companies
afterward
> - Root cause of the slowness: importBundle inserted every issue,
comment, and document as a separate round-trip to a network Postgres —
an N+1-over-network pattern
> - This pull request hardens the whole import path: durable
progress/error UI, an async server-side job so imports survive dropped
connections (with a duplicate-submit guard), a fail-closed guard against
incomplete payloads, and batched inserts that cut a large import from
hours to minutes
> - The benefit is that migrating a real, large company actually
completes, is legible while it runs, and can't half-import twice

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Refs #10507 (the Import/Export feature this hardens). Supersedes
#10513 (the progress/error-UI piece, folded in here). No open issue;
problem described above (large-company import: slow, connection-fragile,
silently duplicable, opaque UI).

## What Changed

- **Batched inserts (perf):** importBundle pre-generates entity ids in
JS and inserts in chunked multi-row statements, so children no longer
wait on parents' generated ids. A 1,418-issue import drops from ~15,600
insert statements to **82** (190×); benchmark below. Import semantics —
collision handling, pause-on-import,
label/blocker/monitor/attachment/embedded-asset handling, blob sha
verification — are unchanged (full portability suite green).
- **Async import jobs for board sessions:** the existing cloud-tenant
async job path opens to board sessions with per-actor job keys; the
import page submits, polls, and resumes watching after a reload or
dropped connection instead of holding one fragile request. A
non-terminal job blocks a duplicate submit (409 returns the running
job), preventing the double-import.
- **Fail-closed completeness guard:** an optional `expectedFileCount` on
inline imports; the server rejects (422 `import_payload_incomplete`) a
body carrying fewer files than declared, so a re-framed/short payload
fails loudly instead of half-importing.
- **Durable progress/error UI (was #10513):** persistent progress panels
with size-aware copy, persistent error panels with retry guidance, and
inline explanation when the preview button is disabled;
request-lifecycle guards so stale previews/imports can't publish or
detach.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r` typechecks (shared, server, ui) clean.
- `company-portability.test.ts` (76) +
`company-portability-routes.test.ts` (30) green — the import correctness
net — plus new `CompanyImport.test.tsx` async/resume/409 coverage and a
new batching regression test (a 50-issue import issues <50 issue-insert
statements; rows land unchanged).
- **Batching benchmark (embedded Postgres):** at 1,418 issues × 7
comments × 1 doc — 82 insert statements vs ~15,598 one-per-row (190×),
~1s wall-clock; a row-verifying run at that scale imports all 1,418
issues / 9,926 comments / 1,418 documents with unique identifiers and no
warnings (no rows dropped by chunking). Over a network DB the round-trip
reduction is the hours→minutes lever.
- What is NOT directly measured here: wall-clock against a real network
Postgres (that happens on a staging deploy); the local timing is
network-free.

## Risks

- Batching is the load-bearing change: it rewrites the import write
path. Mitigated by the unchanged 106-test correctness suite, a new
scale/row-integrity test, and per-writer transactions (a failure rolls
back its table group; not a single outer transaction across writers —
noted, correctness preserved).
- Async jobs are in-memory (lost on server restart → pollers 404 and can
resubmit); matches the pre-existing cloud-tenant job semantics.
- `expectedFileCount` is optional (older callers unaffected); over-count
is allowed, only under-count fails closed.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic), Claude Code CLI,
extended thinking + tool use; implementation across Fable 5 subagents
with live diagnosis against a running instance.

SamandSami Rusani 39666aa906 fix(server): clarify execution policy decision comments (#9105)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution policies let issues move through enforced review and
approval stages before work is considered done.
> - Active reviewers and approvers must include decision rationale when
approving or requesting changes.
> - The server already requires the decision comment to arrive in the
same `PATCH /api/issues/:id` request as the status change.
> - When callers post a normal comment first and then send a status-only
`PATCH`, the existing 422 only says a comment is required.
> - This pull request keeps the atomic decision behavior but makes the
API error and docs explicit about the same-request requirement.
> - The benefit is that agents and API clients can recover immediately
by sending `{ status, comment }` together instead of dead-ending on an
ambiguous validation error.

gates in the skill API reference, and #5487 covers human approval UI.

## What Changed

- Expanded execution-policy 422 messages for approve and request-changes
decisions to say the comment must be included in the same `PATCH`
request and prior comments are not considered.
- Tightened unit coverage so the comment-required branches assert the
new actionable guidance.
- Documented the same-request `{ status, comment }` decision shape in
the execution policy guide, issue API reference, and agent communication
guide.

## Verification

- `CI=true corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-execution-policy.test.ts --reporter verbose`
- `CI=true corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec node
../../../scripts/ensure-plugin-build-deps.mjs`
- `CI=true corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`
- `git diff --check`

## Risks

Low risk. This does not change execution-policy state transitions or
relax the atomic decision guard; it only makes the existing requirement
explicit in errors and docs.

DottaandPaperclip fcf66f3a91 feat(skills): add managed skill rename API (#9688)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies.
> - Company skills are reusable capabilities that operators install,
edit, assign, and materialize for agents.
> - Managed local skills currently lack a safe backend operation for
changing their display name and canonical slug/key together.
> - Treating rename as an ordinary save can leave duplicate records,
stale runtime materializations, or agent assignments pointing at the old
key.
> - This pull request adds a company-scoped managed-skill rename
contract, service operation, and REST endpoint with focused
authorization and activity logging.
> - The benefit is an atomic-enough, recoverable rename path that keeps
disk state, database identity, and agent skill assignments synchronized.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Refs #2121
- Problem: managed company skills need a dedicated rename operation
rather than save-time duplication behavior.
- Expected behavior: renaming a managed skill updates its name, slug,
key, source directory, frontmatter, runtime materialization, and
assigned-agent references while preserving version pins.

## What Changed

- Added shared request/result types and Zod validation for managed skill
rename requests.
- Added `POST /api/companies/:companyId/skills/:skillId/rename` with
`skills.edit` policy checks and `company.skill_renamed` activity
logging.
- Restricted renames to Paperclip-managed local skills and added slug,
key, and target-directory conflict handling.
- Moved the managed directory, rewrote only the `SKILL.md` frontmatter
name, updated the database row, and rolled filesystem changes back when
persistence fails.
- Rewrote assigned agents' desired-skill keys while preserving pinned
version IDs and removed stale runtime materialization.
- Added focused route and service coverage for success, no-op, name-only
changes, conflicts, unsupported sources, assignment rewrites,
rollback-sensitive behavior, and runtime cleanup.
- Rejected multiline rename names before they can inject extra
`SKILL.md` frontmatter fields.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts` — 106 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.

## Risks

- Filesystem and database updates cannot share one native transaction;
the service stages filesystem changes and explicitly restores the
original directory and markdown when the database transaction fails.
- Renames intentionally reject catalog, remote, project-scanned, and
unmanaged local skills to avoid changing identities owned by external
sources.
- No database migration is required; the endpoint updates existing
company-skill and agent configuration fields.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent (exact underlying model ID and
context-window size were not exposed to this runtime), with reasoning,
repository tool use, code execution, and test execution. The rescued
source commit also records assistance from Claude Opus 4.8.

Devin Foley 187a90b7bc Add opt-in in-flight run-log mirroring with graceful-shutdown flush (#10512)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The run-log store records each agent run's output and can mirror
completed logs to S3-compatible object storage
> - The mirror uploads only on finalize, so a server restart mid-run
loses the whole in-flight log
> - Deployments and crashes are routine on ephemeral hosts, and lost run
output makes failed runs impossible to debug
> - This pull request adds an opt-in throttled mirror for still-running
logs plus a graceful-shutdown flush
> - The benefit is that a restart mid-run keeps the log tail up to the
last mirror interval, and an orderly restart keeps everything

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists — describing the feature inline (per the feature
request template).

**Subsystem affected**
server/ — REST API & orchestration services

**Problem or motivation**
`RUN_LOG_S3_BUCKET` gives finished run logs durability, but the mirror
uploads only on finalize. A run that is still writing when the server
restarts leaves nothing in object storage. On hosts with ephemeral disks
the local file is gone too, so the run's output is lost end to end and
failed runs cannot be debugged.

**Proposed solution**
Mirror the in-flight log to the same object key on a throttled cadence
(`RUN_LOG_S3_INFLIGHT_MIRROR_SECONDS`), and flush dirty tails during
graceful shutdown. Keep it opt-in so existing deployments see zero new
upload traffic unless they ask for it.

**Alternatives considered**
Per-append uploads (rejected: one PUT per output chunk is hostile to S3
endpoints and run latency). Chunked part objects with read-time
stitching (rejected: complicates the read path, and S3 multipart minimum
part sizes do not fit small tails). Persistent volumes (rejected
upstream already: the data dir is deliberately an emptyDir in hardened
cloud_tenant deployments).

**Roadmap alignment**
Not on ROADMAP.md; extends the existing run-log durability mirror
without changing any default behavior.

**Additional context**
Ranged reads already serve partial objects like a live tail, so the read
path needs no change; finalize overwrites the mirror with the complete
file.

**Related PRs (dedup search):** the finalize-only S3 mirror landed
previously and this extends it; no duplicate or competing PR found for
in-flight run-log mirroring.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/run-log-store.ts`: new opt-in `inflightMirrorMs`
on the S3 options (`RUN_LOG_S3_INFLIGHT_MIRROR_SECONDS` env). When set,
appends schedule at most one upload of the current file per interval, to
the same key finalize uses. Ranged reads already serve that key, so a
partial object behaves like a live tail and needs no read-path change.
Finalize retires the in-flight bookkeeping and waits out an upload
already on the wire, so a stale partial can never overwrite a finalized
log. Upload failures warn, re-mark the tail dirty, and retry at most
once per interval.
- `server/src/services/run-log-store.ts`: new `flushInflightMirrors()`
on the store and a module-level `flushInFlightRunLogMirrors()` for the
shutdown path. Both are no-ops when the mirror is off.
- `server/src/index.ts`: graceful shutdown flushes dirty in-flight tails
after the heartbeat run drain, so runs the drain did not finalize
(timeouts, the hot-restart skip path) still persist their output.
- `server/src/services/run-log-store.test.ts`: five new tests —
off-by-default (no uploads before finalize), tail preserved after a wipe
without finalize, throttle coalescing with a single flush upload,
finalize superseding the in-flight mirror and retiring its timer, and
upload failures never breaking appends with recovery on the next flush.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run server/src/services/run-log-store.test.ts` — 13
passed (8 existing + 5 new).
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-run-log.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-active-run-output-watchdog.test.ts` — 21
passed (consumers of the store, unchanged behavior).
- `pnpm -C server run typecheck` — clean.
- Self-hosted behavior is unchanged unless
`RUN_LOG_S3_INFLIGHT_MIRROR_SECONDS` is set: with the variable unset
there are zero new uploads and the finalize-only mirroring is
byte-identical (asserted by the off-by-default test).

## Risks

- Low. The feature is opt-in; unset env preserves today's behavior
exactly. When enabled, worst case is one extra PUT per interval per
active run, and every upload is best-effort — a failing endpoint warns
and never breaks appends, finalization, or shutdown. The finalize path
awaits any in-flight upload before writing the complete file, closing
the only overwrite race the design introduces. Timers are `unref`ed so
the mirror never keeps the process alive.

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic; Claude Code CLI with
extended thinking and tool use; tests executed locally via Vitest).

Devin Foley 916c13501f Replace host-to-host Cloud Sync with full-fidelity company Import/Export (#10507)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A company accumulates real state — issues, labels, blockers,
documents, work products, monitors, attachments, agents, routines — and
people need to move that state between instances: self-hosted to cloud,
cloud back to self-hosted, or plain backups
> - The experimental, flag-gated Cloud Sync transport (#6548) tried to
solve this host-to-host: the source pushed into a receiver over HTTPS
with a cross-instance consent/token handshake, which required the
destination to be publicly reachable and broke for common self-hosted
topologies (plain-HTTP LAN/VPN origins); the receiver half never landed
upstream at all
> - Meanwhile the portability bundle and the existing export/import
pages already move companies offline with none of those networking
constraints — but silently dropped labels, blockers, issue documents,
work products, monitors, and every attachment
> - This pull request removes the host-to-host transport and makes
Import/Export the single data-movement path: the pages become
first-class company-settings destinations, exports declare exactly what
they do not carry, and bundle schemaVersion 6 now carries all of the
above, with attachments as content-addressed sha256 blobs verified
before a single row is written
> - The benefit is a migration and backup flow that works between any
two instances with no reachability requirements, no cross-instance auth,
and no silent data loss

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Refs #6548 — the original Cloud Sync sender this PR supersedes and
removes.
- Related, not duplicates: #1697 (goals in the portability manifest —
orthogonal field addition), #954 (an earlier import/export +
skill-visibility proposal predating the current portability bundle).
- No open issue describes this directly, so in brief (feature-request
shape): **Problem** — moving a company between instances silently lost
labels (imports with label references actually hard-failed), blocker
relations, issue documents, work products, monitor state, and all
attachments, and the alternative Cloud Sync transport required the
destination to be publicly reachable over HTTPS plus a consent
handshake, which failed for typical self-hosted setups. **Desired
behavior** — one Import/Export flow in company settings that produces a
portable bundle carrying all of that data, tells the operator up front
what it cannot carry, imports with automations paused, and offers real
one-click activation afterwards.

## What Changed

- New export fidelity report (`GET
/api/companies/:companyId/export/fidelity`) + an "Export fidelity" panel
on the Export page listing anything a bundle will not include (now only:
approvals, cost history, activity history)
- Imports accept `pauseAutomations`; imported agents and routines land
paused, the import result reports created routines, and the Import page
ends in an activation panel that actually resumes selected
agents/activates routines
- Export and Import pages promoted into the company-settings nav; the
Cloud Upstream wizard, ux-lab page, and API client removed; the old
settings route redirects to Export
- Host-to-host transport removed: upstream-sync/receiver-client routes
and services, CLI `cloud connect`/`cloud push` + keypair store, the
shared upstream transfer contract, and the `enableCloudSync` flag;
migration `0196` drops the two experimental `cloud_upstream_*` sender
tables
- Bundle schemaVersion 6: labels (definitions + per-task names, remapped
by name on import), blocker relations (`blockedBy` slugs,
cycle-tolerant), issue documents (`tasks/<slug>/documents/<key>.md`),
work products (system refs nulled), monitors (notes/scheduledBy
restored, imported un-armed)
- Attachments travel as content-addressed `blobs/<sha256>` entries
(deduped; comment-scoped attachments re-link via comment index); every
blob is hash-verified **before any write**, so a corrupted bundle cannot
leave a partially imported company; both zip codecs now round-trip
extensionless/binary entries byte-exactly; the Import page preflights
the inline body limit and offers continue-without-attachments
- v5 (and older) bundles still import, with an informational warning;
bundles newer than v6 are rejected cleanly
- Docs: board-operator import/export guide, CLI README, README/ROADMAP
updated

## Verification

- `pnpm -r` typechecks (shared, db incl. migration numbering/safety
checks, server, ui, cli) and `pnpm check:token-gates` — clean
- Vitest: full server + shared sweep 4,888 passed / 1 skipped, with the
only 3 failures being pre-existing on `master` (2×
heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment, 1× workspace-runtime auto-port;
reproduced identically with this change stashed); ui + cli suites green;
the embedded-Postgres export-fidelity suite applies the full migration
chain including the new `0196` against a fresh database
- Live end-to-end on a scratch instance: seeded a company with labels, a
blocker pair, an issue document, a work product, a monitor, an agent, a
routine, and two binary attachments (one comment-scoped) → export →
import into a fresh company → labels remapped to new ids, blocker edge
and document restored, monitor un-armed with notes intact, attachments
byte-identical (sha256-compared through the API), agents/routines paused
→ activation panel resumed them; a v5-shaped bundle imported with only
the info warning; flipping one byte in a blob made the import 422 with
**zero** rows created
- Reviewer repro: create a company with a labeled issue + attachment →
Settings → Export → download → Settings → Import on another
company/instance → watch the preview, apply with "start paused", then
activate

## Risks

- Migration `0196` drops
`cloud_upstream_connections`/`cloud_upstream_runs` — experimental tables
behind a default-off flag; their connection/run history is intentionally
discarded
- Breaking removals are all of experimental, flag-gated surface:
`/api/upstream-sync/*` + `/api/cloud-upstreams/*` routes, `paperclipai
cloud connect|push`, and the `enableCloudSync` flag (stale keys in
stored instance settings parse harmlessly)
- Import remains non-atomic on mid-apply errors generally (pre-existing
behavior); the new blob verification specifically moved ahead of all
writes so tampered bundles cannot create partial state
- GitHub-sourced imports do not fetch `blobs/*` and skip attachments
with a warning

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic), via Claude Code CLI with
extended thinking, tool use, and subagent orchestration; implementation
and review split across Fable 5 subagents, with live end-to-end
verification against a running instance

Nicky LeachandPaperclip a93a74f91a feat(server): surface referenced-project sync warnings and enable multi-project sync by default (#10473)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agent work for a company
> - Workspace sync must keep one primary path and any referenced project
paths in step
> - A partial sync must not fail in silence
> - Operators also need a clear signal when the feature uses the new
default path
> - This pull request surfaces referenced-project warnings on the run
and turns the feature flag default on
> - The benefit is better visibility and a live multi-project sync path
by default

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This pull request completes the multi-project workspace sync go-live
work.

Related pull requests:

- Refs: #10380
- Refs: #10448
- Refs: #10469

## What Changed

- Surface referenced-project warnings on the run when a project drops
during authorization or resolution.
- Record a structured failure reason for each dropped referenced
project.
- Emit one structured log line at run preparation with the requested
count, the synced count, and the failure reasons.
- Flip the workspace sync kill-switch default to on when the env value
is unset.
- Keep the primary workspace path unchanged.

## Verification

- `tsc --noEmit` passed in the server package.
- `heartbeat-referenced-projects.test.ts` and
`heartbeat-project-env.test.ts` passed.
- `workspace-runtime.test.ts` passed.
- `adapter-utils` runtime tests passed for sandbox, command, remote, and
file sync paths.

## Risks

- The new default can expose the feature to more runs if an operator
does not set the env override.
- The new surfaced warnings can change operator visible run output.
- The structured log line can add noise if a run has many referenced
project failures.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use, large context window.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5c5366d0c1 fix(server): honor explicit plugin RPC timeouts (#10460)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Plugin workers connect Paperclip to external runtimes and sandbox
providers.
> - Some adapter heartbeats run a full sandbox session inside one
`environmentExecute` RPC.
> - The worker manager limited every RPC timeout to 15 minutes, even
when the caller gave a longer timeout.
> - This pull request keeps the normal default timeout behavior but
honors explicit caller timeouts.
> - The benefit is that long sandboxed agent sessions can continue past
15 minutes while other safety guards still bound hung work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this bug.

### Bug Report

Pre-submission checklist:
- Searched existing open and closed issues and did not find a duplicate.
- Confirmed the bug is reproducible on `master` from the current source
tree.
- Confirmed the error starts in Paperclip timeout handling, not in an
adapter provider or local configuration.

What happened?
- A sandbox-backed adapter heartbeat can run a full agent session inside
one `environmentExecute` plugin RPC.
- The plugin worker manager capped every RPC timeout at 15 minutes.
- The cap also applied when the caller passed a longer explicit timeout
for an execute-style call.
- A long sandbox command could fail before the adapter budget expired.

Expected behavior:
- Ordinary plugin RPC calls should keep the normal 30-second default
timeout.
- The default timeout path should still have a 15-minute maximum.
- A caller-supplied positive finite timeout should be honored, including
values above 15 minutes.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use a plugin environment driver that calls `environmentExecute` with
an explicit timeout above 15 minutes.
2. Run a command that stays active longer than 15 minutes and remains
inside the adapter budget.
3. Observe that the worker manager times out the RPC at 15 minutes
before this fix.
4. Run the same path after this fix and observe that the explicit
timeout is used.

Paperclip version or commit:
- Reproduced from the current `master` line before this change.

Deployment mode:
- Local dev or self-hosted server with sandbox-backed execution.

Installation method:
- Built from source.

Agent adapter(s) involved:
- Codex.
- Custom or external plugin adapter.
- Core plugin worker timeout handling.

Database mode:
- Not database-related.

Access context:
- Agent execution context.

Node.js version:
- Not version-specific.

Operating system:
- Not OS-specific.

Relevant logs or output:
```shell
RPC call "environmentExecute" timed out after 900000ms
```

Relevant config:
- Not config-related.

Additional context:
- Execute-style sandbox calls already have adapter inactivity monitors,
platform silent-run checks, and provider command timeouts. This PR
removes the unintended worker-manager clamp only for explicit positive
finite caller timeouts.

Privacy checklist:
- Reviewed all pasted output for PII, user paths, API keys, tokens,
company names, and internal instance links.

Duplicate search:
- Searched open PRs and open issues in `paperclipai/paperclip` for
`environmentExecute timeout`, `MAX_RPC_TIMEOUT_MS`, and
`plugin-worker-manager timeout`.
- Searched the same terms in `HenkDz/paperclip`.
- Found no matching open PRs or issues.
- Compared this patch-id against my open PRs in `paperclipai/paperclip`;
no match was found.

## What Changed

- Added `resolveRpcCallTimeoutMs()` to keep explicit positive finite
timeouts intact.
- Kept the 15-minute maximum only for the default timeout path.
- Updated `callInternal()` to use the new resolver.
- Added unit tests for explicit long timeouts, default timeout clamping,
fractional values, and invalid explicit values.
- Clarified why notification invocation scopes still use the 15-minute
TTL.

## Verification

- `corepack pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager.test.ts`
- `corepack pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit`
- `git diff --check 9574cad3e8 HEAD`
- GitHub PR checks on `bf7bfd0d`: all passing; Storybook visual
regression skipped by workflow.
- Greptile on `bf7bfd0d`: 5/5, no blocking failure remains; prior P2
thread resolved.

## Risks

Low risk. The change affects RPC timeout resolution in the plugin worker
manager. Ordinary plugin calls still use the 30-second default and the
default path is still capped at 15 minutes. Callers that pass explicit
long timeouts now own that budget. Adapter inactivity monitors and
platform silent-run safety checks still bound hung runs.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent, with shell and GitHub CLI tool
use.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 15ce70dc18 feat(server): thread plural referenced-project workspaces through run prep (#10448)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip coordinates work for autonomous companies.
> - A run needs a workspace view before execution starts.
> - That view now needs to cover one anchor project and more referenced
projects.
> - Those extra workspaces must stay separate and must not change the
anchor path when the feature stays off.
> - This PR threads plural workspace data through run prep behind a
default-off kill switch.
> - It also keeps extra project workspaces isolated and makes the
realization contract round-trip the new shape.
> - The benefit is safer run prep for referenced projects without
changing the current default path.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This PR does not link a public GitHub issue.
It follows the internal run-prep task for plural referenced-project
workspaces.

Problem:
- Run prep resolves the anchor project today, but it does not yet carry
each referenced project into the run workspace view.
- That gap blocks runs that need a second repo or sibling project during
preparation.

Proposed solution:
- Thread a plural workspace result through run prep.
- Keep the anchor path unchanged when the kill switch is off.
- Resolve each referenced project into its own managed checkout
directory when the flag is on.

Alternatives considered:
- Keep one shared workspace and layer the extra repos into it. Rejected
because it would blur isolation and make failures harder to bound.
- Upload the extra workspaces immediately. Rejected because this PR only
prepares the data path.

Roadmap alignment:
- This change sits in the workspace and sandbox path.
- It matches the roadmap work on workspace strategy and cloud or sandbox
agents.

## What Changed

- Added `additionalWorkspaces[]` to the run workspace result.
- Split workspace resolution into an anchor path and an optional
referenced-project path behind `PAPERCLIP_MULTI_PROJECT_WORKSPACE_SYNC`.
- Kept per-project failure isolation so one bad clone does not stop the
run.
- Keyed managed workspace directories by `projectId` so sibling
workspaces stay separate.
- Added `additionalSources[]` to the workspace realization request and
kept read and write paths backward compatible.
- Added tests for the anchor-only path, the new workspace shape, and the
per-project directory rule.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared run typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-project-env.test.ts` 21/21
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts` 98/98

## Risks

Low risk. The new path stays behind a default-off kill switch, so the
anchor flow does not change when the flag is off.
The main risk is a bad referenced project clone. That case now drops
only the affected project and keeps the run alive.
The shared type change also needs every consumer to use the new array
field where extra workspaces matter.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 7083c275c8 refactor(sandbox): retire the dead noProfile flag from the exec path (#10461)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The sandbox exec path starts agent commands and passes runtime
options to the server and plugin layers
> - This path kept a noProfile flag after the exec wrappers stopped
sourcing a login profile
> - The flag no longer changed behavior, so it left dead API surface in
the protocol and runtime helpers
> - This pull request removes that dead flag from the plugin protocol,
the server drivers, and the managed-runtime helpers
> - It also updates the tests and points the agent runtime README at the
sandbox requirements file
> - The benefit is a smaller and clearer exec-path contract with no
behavior change

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- No public GitHub issue exists.

### What happened?

The sandbox exec path kept a `noProfile` field after the exec wrappers
stopped sourcing a login profile.

### Expected behavior

The plugin protocol, server drivers, and managed-runtime helpers should
not expose or forward a dead field.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run a managed-runtime command through the sandbox exec path.
2. Inspect the protocol payload and runtime helper inputs.
3. Observe that `noProfile` is present even though it no longer changes
behavior.

### Paperclip version or commit

`60c7da86fc7a6c1dbf37bbcd86e25ecaaff01607`

### Deployment mode

Built from source (pnpm dev / pnpm build)

### Additional context

This pull request removes the dead field, updates the affected tests,
and updates the README note for the sandbox profile path.

## What Changed

- Removed noProfile from the plugin protocol and the server exec-path
call sites.
- Updated the managed-runtime helpers to use the narrower exec-path
contract.
- Updated the affected tests and added the README pointer to
SANDBOX-REQUIREMENTS.md.

## Verification

- `git grep -n "noProfile" -- packages/ server/` returns zero matches.
- `tsc --noEmit` passed for `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`,
`@paperclipai/plugin-sdk`, and `@paperclipai/server`.
- `command-managed-runtime.test.ts` passed: 22/22.
- `environment-runtime.test.ts` passed: 24/24.

## Risks

- Low risk. The flag was already a no-op.
- A hidden external caller may still send the removed field.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-5, tool-enabled.

to this change

details)

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 7a5a217d60 fix(server): gate sandbox/ssh execution targets by shared remote-managed adapter capability (#10459)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip can run an agent in a remote-managed environment, such as
a sandbox provider or an SSH host.
> - The server resolves an execution target for each run. The resolver
kept its own hardcoded list of allowed adapters.
> - The shared capability metadata in
`packages/shared/src/environment-support.ts` already defines which
adapters support remote-managed environments. The environment selector
and the capabilities API use it.
> - The two lists drifted. The UI offered sandbox environments to Grok
Build (`grok_local`) agents, but the resolver refused them at run time.
> - This pull request makes the resolver use the shared capability check
for both the sandbox gate and the SSH gate.
> - The benefit is one source of truth. The UI and the runtime now agree
on which adapters can use remote-managed environments.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. Inline description per the
bug report template:

**What happened?**

A Grok Build (`grok_local`) agent was assigned a sandbox environment (a
Daytona provider). The UI allowed the assignment. Every run and
primary-model test then failed with the warning: `Adapter "grok_local"
is not allowed in "<environment>" environments.`

**Expected behavior**

An adapter that the environment selector offers for a sandbox
environment must also pass the runtime gate. The Grok Build run must
start in the sandbox.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a sandbox environment (for example, with a Daytona provider
plugin).
2. Create an agent that uses the `grok_local` adapter.
3. Set the agent's environment to the sandbox environment. The UI
accepts this.
4. Run the agent, or run the primary-model test. The run fails with the
adapter-not-allowed warning.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `master` at `0edb742f8d`.

**Deployment mode**

Local instance with a remote sandbox provider plugin. The same gate also
applies to SSH environments.

## What Changed

- `resolveEnvironmentExecutionTarget` in
`server/src/services/environment-execution-target.ts` now gates the
sandbox path with the shared
`adapterSupportsRemoteManagedEnvironments()` helper. Before, it used a
hardcoded six-adapter list that did not include `grok_local`.
- The SSH path in the same file now uses the same shared helper.
- New regression tests in
`server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`: sandbox
target resolution for every remote-managed adapter (including
`grok_local`), SSH target resolution for `grok_local`, and the null path
for an adapter without remote-managed support.

## Verification

- Run `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
server/src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts`. All 10 tests
pass, including the 3 new ones.
- Confirm `grok_local` is in the `REMOTE_MANAGED_ADAPTERS` set in
`packages/shared/src/environment-support.ts`. The resolver now reads the
same set.
- On a live local instance with this fix, a `grok_local` agent assigned
to a Daytona sandbox environment no longer produces the
adapter-not-allowed warning.

## Risks

Low risk. The change routes two hardcoded checks through existing shared
capability metadata. Behavior changes only where the lists had drifted:
`grok_local`, and any future adapter added to the shared set, can now
resolve sandbox and SSH execution targets. Adapters outside the shared
set still return `null`.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 78f8c6c3d4 Recover managed bundled plugin workers on demand (#10429)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Managed deployments can auto-provision bundled sandbox-provider
plugins so cloud or remote execution environments appear in the board UI
> - In a multi-service deployment, several server processes can share
one database and boot concurrently
> - A sibling process can create a bundled plugin row while the web
process sees it before it reaches `ready`
> - The web process correctly avoids clobbering the existing row, but
its startup `loadAll()` can miss the plugin and never start that worker
locally
> - The environments capabilities route then filters out the sandbox
provider because the plugin is ready in the database but not running in
the web process
> - This pull request adds a narrow managed-bundle recovery path that
lazily starts the missing worker when the capabilities route sees a
ready managed bundled plugin
> - The benefit is that the sandbox provider becomes visible after the
install finishes, without requiring a web-process restart

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- No public GitHub issue found for this exact deployment race.
- Related broad plugin runtime context: Refs #432.

Bug description:

- What happened: in a managed multi-service deployment with shared
database state and bundled plugin auto-install enabled, the API-serving
process can skip a plugin row while it is still `installed`, run startup
plugin loading before that row becomes `ready`, and then permanently
omit the sandbox provider from environment capabilities.
- Expected behavior: once the managed bundled plugin row reaches
`ready`, the API-serving process should be able to start the plugin
worker and include its sandbox provider without a restart.
- Steps to reproduce: boot a web process and a sibling worker process
concurrently; have the sibling create the bundled plugin row and
transition it to `ready` after the web process has already skipped
auto-install and run `loadAll()`.
- Deployment mode: managed multi-service deployment with shared database
state and `plugins.autoInstall` configured.

## What Changed

- Added a managed bundled plugin worker recovery helper that
single-flights lazy `loadSingle()` starts and only allows configured
managed bundled plugin keys.
- Passed the managed recovery hook into the environments capabilities
route.
- Updated `listReadyPluginEnvironmentDrivers()` to attempt bounded
recovery for ready managed bundled plugins whose worker is missing in
the current process, and only for plugins that actually declare a
`sandbox_provider` environment driver.
- Made request-time recovery use `loadSingle(id, { markErrorOnFailure:
false })` so a local activation failure in one process never transitions
the shared plugin row to `error` (a sibling process may be running the
plugin successfully).
- When error writes are suppressed and activation fails after the worker
was spawned, the loader now tears down the partially-registered local
runtime (scheduler registration, event subscriptions, agent tools,
worker process) instead of leaving a half-activated worker lingering;
the teardown steps are factored out of `unloadSingle()` into a shared
helper.
- A failed recovery attempt now discards the crashed/stopped handle it
left registered in the worker manager (a worker that dies during
initialize is killed without a scheduled restart), so later capability
requests can retry recovery instead of being blocked by the
handle-presence gate until a process restart. Handles in
starting/running/backoff states are left to the worker manager's own
lifecycle; recovery only ever starts when no handle existed, so no
pre-existing worker can be affected.
- Added a regression test suite covering the installed-to-ready race,
allowlist behavior, the driver-kind gate, existing worker handles,
concurrent single-flight recovery, bounded slow recovery attempts,
suppressed shared error-state writes, partial-runtime teardown on late
activation failure, and retry after a dead handle is discarded.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/plugin-environment-driver-ready-recovery.test.ts` (in
`server/`) passed: 10 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` passed.

## Risks

- Low risk for self-hosted single-process deployments because lazy
recovery is only wired when managed plugin auto-install config is
present; with no managed config the capabilities route takes the exact
pre-change code path.
- The capabilities route can wait briefly while attempting recovery; the
attempt is bounded and defaults to 2 seconds.
- Failed recovery keeps the prior behavior of omitting the provider
until a later successful worker start, and now also cleans up any
partially-started local worker so retries begin from a clean slate.

## Model Used

- Initial implementation: OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex local coding agent,
with repository tool use and command execution.
- Review-feedback follow-ups (driver-kind gate, partial-runtime
teardown, expanded regression tests): Claude Fable 5 (claude-fable-5)
via Claude Code, with repository tool use and command execution.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 9574cad3e8 test(server): drain heartbeat runs to quiescence before low-trust teardown (#10450)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI work through tasks, comments, and heartbeats
> - A heartbeat wake can register after a test body ends
> - The low-trust red-team route suite tears down data while that wake
can still run
> - Teardown can then lock `issues` and `heartbeat_runs` in opposite
order and deadlock
> - This pull request adds a drain that waits for heartbeat runs to
reach quiescence before teardown
> - The benefit is stable test teardown without removing coverage

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

The serialized low-trust red-team route suite can deadlock in
`afterEach` teardown.
A heartbeat wake can register after the test body ends.
Teardown can then delete `heartbeat_runs` while the wake still writes
issue tables.
This change waits until no run is queued or running before any delete.

## What Changed

- Added `drainHeartbeatRunsToQuiescence` for test teardown.
- Called the drain first in the low-trust red-team route suite
`afterEach` path.
- Kept the change test-teardown only.

## Verification

- The author handoff reports `tsc -p server/tsconfig.json --noEmit` as
clean.
- The author handoff reports 60 of 60 stress-loop runs with zero
deadlocks.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` could not run here
because this workspace lacks `node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc`.

## Risks

- Low risk.
- The change only affects test teardown.
- If a wake never reaches registration, the drain can wait longer than
expected.
- The loop re-checks the run table until no run is queued or running.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5, tool-use, 256k context.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 11273c18d6 feat(server): resolve per-project-authorized referenced-project set for run prep (#10380)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies
> - Run prep needs to know which referenced projects belong in a run
without breaking company boundaries
> - The anchor project must keep its existing authorization path, while
additional mentioned projects must be checked independently and fail
closed if access is denied or unknown
> - This pull request adds a helper that computes the deduped,
company-scoped referenced-project set for run prep and warns when a
project is rejected
> - It also introduces an off-by-default kill-switch so downstream
consumers can adopt the set safely
> - The benefit is safer multi-project run preparation without widening
access beyond what the run actor is already allowed to read

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This PR does not rely on a public GitHub issue. The change is
self-contained and follows the feature-request style description below
so reviewers can evaluate it without leaving the PR.

**Problem / motivation**
- Run prep needs to assemble a referenced-project set that includes the
anchor project plus additional @-mentioned projects.
- Additional projects must be authorized independently and rejected
projects must not widen access.
- The result should be safe to merge inertly behind a default-off
kill-switch until downstream consumers opt in.

**Proposed solution**
- Add `resolveRunReferencedProjects(issueId, anchorProjectId, opts)` in
`server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`.
- Compute a deduped company-scoped set with the anchor project first and
additional mentions admitted only after a fail-closed `project:read`
authorization check.
- Drop missing, foreign-company, denied, or errored projects and append
run warnings when they are rejected.
- Keep the feature inert behind a default-off kill-switch until
downstream workspace resolution is wired to consume it.

**Alternatives considered**
- Reusing company membership alone was rejected because it would
over-admit projects and widen access.
- Including all mentioned projects without per-project authorization was
rejected because it would bypass the existing access model.

**Roadmap alignment**
- This is Phase 1 only: the helper is computed but not yet consumed
downstream, so the merge is inert until a later phase turns the flag on.

## What Changed

- Added `resolveRunReferencedProjects(issueId, anchorProjectId, opts)`
in `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`.
- Enforced company scoping, deduplication, fail-closed authorization,
and warning emission for additional referenced projects.
- Added a configurable cap for the additional referenced-project set.
- Added tests covering allowed, denied, foreign-company, thrown-auth,
dedupe, and overflow cases.
- Added a default-off kill-switch for downstream consumption of the
computed set.

## Verification

- `tsc --noEmit`
- `server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts` now passes 117/117
- `git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD` shows only the expected single
commit on this branch

## Risks

- The new helper is computed but not yet consumed by workspace
resolution, so behavior only changes once downstream code is wired to
it.
- The authorization path for additional referenced projects is stricter
than before, so any unexpected access gap will surface as a dropped
project plus warning.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool-use enabled, 128k context.

Devin Foley dc12197cce fix: prevent duplicate built-in agents and self-heal reconciliation (#10223)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Every company is auto-provisioned a set of built-in agents (e.g. the
Summarizer), and a startup reconciler keeps that set correct across
every company on boot.
> - Provisioning marks these agents with
`metadata.paperclipBuiltInAgent.key`, but nothing in the database
enforced one active agent per `(company, key)` —
`provision()`/`ensure()` did a check-then-insert with no guard.
> - Two concurrent server processes (e.g. a `tsx watch` double-boot)
could both read "no summarizer exists" and both insert, leaving a
company with duplicate built-in agents plus paired orphan pending
`hire_agent` approvals.
> - That data blemish then became a recurring outage: `findSingleAgent`
throws on >1 marked row, and because the throw escaped
`reconcileBuiltInAgentsOnStartup`'s sequential loop, **every company
after the affected one was silently skipped** on each boot — no
auto-provisioning, no default grants — until manual DB surgery.
> - This pull request closes the race at the database level and makes
reconciliation self-healing and fault-isolated.
> - The benefit is that concurrent provisioning can no longer create
duplicates, and even pre-existing duplicates are resolved automatically
instead of bricking startup reconciliation for unrelated companies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- [x] I searched the GitHub PR list (open and recently closed) for
similar PRs and confirmed this is not a duplicate.

No public GitHub issue exists; describing the bug in-PR (bug-report
shape):

**What happened**

A dev instance booted with two concurrent server processes. Both ran
built-in agent provisioning for the same company at the same time, and
the check-then-insert in `provision()`/`ensure()`
(`server/src/services/built-in-agents.ts`) let both writers see "no
summarizer exists" and each create one — the company ended up with two
identical Summarizer agents (identical `paperclipBuiltInAgent` markers)
plus two paired pending `hire_agent` approvals.

From then on, **every** server boot logged:

```
ERROR: startup reconciliation of built-in agents failed
       Multiple built-in agents found for summarizer (built_in_agent_duplicate_instance)
```

because `findSingleAgent` throws on >1 marked row rather than resolving
the duplicate. Worse, `reconcileBuiltInAgentsOnStartup` loops companies
sequentially and the throw escaped the loop, so every company *after*
the affected one was silently skipped on every boot.

**Expected behavior**

1. Concurrent provisioning must not create duplicate built-in agents
(there was no DB uniqueness constraint on the marker key per company).
2. Reconciliation should be resilient: if duplicates exist anyway,
self-heal (keep the oldest row, terminate the newer dupe, cancel its
orphan pending `hire_agent` approval), and never let one bad company
abort reconciliation for the rest.

**Steps to reproduce**

- Race two `provision(companyId, "summarizer")` calls for a company with
board approval for new agents enabled (or simulate a double-boot); both
insert.
- Restart the server → startup reconciliation error fires, companies
later in the loop are never reconciled.

## What Changed

**Part 1 — stop creating duplicates**

- Migration `0192_built_in_agent_unique_marker` adds a **partial unique
index** on `(company_id, metadata->'paperclipBuiltInAgent'->>'key')`
where the marker exists and `status != 'terminated'`. It first resolves
any pre-existing duplicates (keep oldest by `created_at`, terminate
newer dupes, cancel their orphan pending `hire_agent` approvals, revoke
their API keys) so the index can be created on already-affected
instances.
- `provision()`/`ensure()` now catch the losing race's `23505` unique
violation (walking the driver's wrapped cause chain) and re-resolve to
the winning row instead of surfacing the error.

**Part 2 — resilient reconciliation**

- `findSingleAgent` self-heals: keeps the oldest marked row, terminates
the newer duplicates, and cancels each one's orphan pending `hire_agent`
approval (idempotent) instead of throwing.
- `reconcileBuiltInAgentsOnStartup` isolates per-company failures in
both loops so one bad company can't abort reconciliation for the rest;
it surfaces a `companyFailures` count in the startup log.
- Adds `approvalService.cancel()` for system-initiated cancellation of
an orphan approval.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db run check:migrations` → numbering +
safety checks pass.
- `packages/db` migration test (real embedded Postgres) — seeds
pre-index duplicate state, runs the migration, asserts dupes resolved +
index enforced: **1 passed**.
- `server` `built-in-agents.test.ts` — self-heal, concurrent races
(plain and board-gated), and startup
self-heal-without-aborting-later-companies: **34 passed**.

```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run src/built-in-agent-unique-marker-migration.test.ts
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/built-in-agents.test.ts
```

## Risks

- **Migration safety**: the migration mutates data (terminates duplicate
rows, cancels their orphan pending approvals, revokes their API keys)
before creating the index. It keeps the oldest row per `(company, key)`
and only touches non-terminated marked rows; the destructive step is
covered by the migration test and the safety-check baseline. On a clean
instance it is a no-op cleanup followed by `CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT
EXISTS`.
- Otherwise low risk: the unique index is partial (excludes terminated
rows, so re-provisioning after a termination stays possible), and the
conflict handling degrades gracefully to re-resolving the existing
winner.

Devin Foley 9f5af4ea5d fix(server): accept secret_ref binding objects in sandbox provider environment config (#10355)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents execute in environments; sandbox provider plugins (Daytona,
Modal, e2b, …) declare their config via a JSON schema, with credentials
marked `format: "secret-ref"`
> - The environments UI renders those fields with a secret picker that
submits `{ type: "secret_ref", secretId, version }` binding objects,
while the server-side environment config paths only understood raw
string values and bare secret-id strings
> - The binding object reached the plugin worker's
`environmentValidateConfig` untouched; plugins parse non-string config
values as absent, so saving or testing an environment with a
picker-bound secret always failed validation (e.g. "Daytona sandbox
environments require an API key in config or DAYTONA_API_KEY.", "Modal
sandbox environments require tokenId and tokenSecret.")
> - Worse, an environment first saved with raw pasted values becomes
uneditable: the stored value is a secret reference, the edit form
re-submits it as a binding object, and every subsequent save fails the
same way
> - This pull request canonicalizes binding objects to the bare secret
id before plugin validation, and teaches the persistence/runtime/probe
secret-ref resolvers to accept the object shape defensively
> - The benefit is that picker-bound secrets work for every
schema-driven sandbox provider — create, edit, and Test — with no plugin
changes required

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #10105

The same failure reproduces with the Daytona provider: Settings →
Instance settings → Environments → New, driver sandbox, provider
daytona, bind Api Key to an existing secret via the picker → Save fails
with "Daytona sandbox environments require an API key in config or
DAYTONA_API_KEY."

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/json-schema-secret-refs.ts`: new
`parseSecretRefBindingObject()` that recognizes the `{ type:
"secret_ref", secretId, version? }` shape the secret picker submits
(version defaults to `"latest"`; malformed objects return null).
- `server/src/services/plugin-environment-driver.ts`:
`validatePluginSandboxProviderConfig()` now canonicalizes binding
objects at the driver schema's `format: "secret-ref"` paths to the bare
secret id (the persisted shape) before invoking the plugin worker's
`environmentValidateConfig`. Pinned numeric versions are rejected with a
clear 422, since sandbox provider references always resolve the latest
version — silently resolving a different version would be worse.
- `server/src/services/environment-config.ts`: the persistence, runtime,
and probe secret-ref resolvers plus `collectEnvironmentSecretRefs()`
accept the binding-object shape defensively, so any previously persisted
object-shaped refs (from providers whose validation tolerated them)
resolve instead of being silently skipped; the missing-companyId runtime
guard also now fails closed for object-shaped refs.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/json-schema-secret-refs.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-sandbox-provider-config-validation.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-config.test.ts` — 82 tests pass,
including new coverage: binding-object canonicalization before plugin
validation, pinned-version rejection, raw-string pass-through, and a
route-level create with a picker-submitted binding object persisting the
bare secret id without minting a duplicate secret.
- `npx vitest run server/src/__tests__/environment-runtime.test.ts` — 24
tests pass against embedded Postgres, including a new test that persists
an object-shaped ref and verifies runtime resolution produces the
plaintext credential for the plugin worker.
- `pnpm typecheck` in `server/` — clean.

## Risks

- Low. The canonical persisted shape (bare secret-id string) is
unchanged, so existing saved environments and lease-resume fingerprints
are unaffected; raw pasted values and bare-id strings take exactly the
same code path as before.
- New behavior only triggers where a save/probe previously failed 422
(binding objects at secret-ref paths) or where an object-shaped ref was
previously skipped silently at runtime (now resolved, or failed closed
without a companyId).
- Pinned binding versions at sandbox-provider paths are now an explicit
422 instead of an accidental validation failure; no UI submits pinned
versions today (`allowVersionSelector={false}`).

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 7797995038 perf(plugin-daytona): opt-in no-profile fast path for default-PATH execs (#10352)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies
> - The Daytona adapter turns tasks into shell commands and manages
execution overhead
> - Many short-lived exec calls still pay for login-shell profile
sourcing even when the binary already resolves on the sandbox default
PATH
> - That extra startup work adds latency on the hot path for repeated
command execution
> - This pull request adds an opt-in fast path that skips profile
sourcing only when the caller explicitly requests it and the command
does not need shell initialization
> - The benefit is lower per-call latency for eligible commands without
changing the conservative default behavior for commands that need the
profile

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

This change does not reference a public GitHub issue. It follows the
same Daytona startup-speed work as merged PR #10335 and narrows the
execution path for eligible commands while keeping the default
login-shell behavior intact.

## What Changed

- Added an optional `noProfile` flag to
`PluginEnvironmentExecuteParams`.
- Refactored Daytona login-shell script assembly so the profile and nvm
sourcing block is omitted only on the explicit fast path.
- Preserved environment prefixing, `cd`, shell quoting,
`NONINTERACTIVE_GIT_ENV`, stdin handling, and `durationMs` behavior on
both paths.
- Added regression tests for the fast path omission, the preserved
execution parameters, and the default profile-sourcing path.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/sandbox-provider-daytona exec vitest run
src/plugin.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk tsc --noEmit`
- Reverted the guard locally to confirm the two behavior tests fail
again, then restored the change.

## Risks

- If a caller opts into `noProfile` for a command that depends on shell
initialization, the command can fail to resolve its binary.
- The API comment and opt-in design keep that risk narrow; the default
path remains unchanged.

DottaandPaperclip 1cd09ed555 perf(heartbeat): reuse task sessions for issue-scoped timer wakes and bound control-plane write retries (#10350)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents make progress in heartbeats: the server wakes an agent
session, it does a slice of work on an issue, records a disposition, and
exits
> - Benchmarking identical coding tasks run as Paperclip-orchestrated
agent pairs vs invoking the same agent harness directly measured a
1.8–2.2× wall-clock slowdown for the Paperclip pairs, dominated by
per-heartbeat orchestration overhead rather than model time
> - Two contributors stood out: (1) since PF-4 (#4838) every
`heartbeat_timer` wake starts a brand-new task session, so continuation
work on a specific issue repays the full session-start and
re-orientation cost on every heartbeat; (2) in degraded environments
agents burn many tool calls retrying the same failing control-plane
write before giving up
> - This pull request reuses the task session for issue-scoped timer
wakes (keeping the PF-4 fresh-session rule only for unscoped exploratory
wakes, which were the original context-bloat case) and adds a
bounded-retry rule to the wake prompt and core skill: after 2
consecutive failures of the same control-plane write, stop retrying it
for the rest of the heartbeat and rely on the adapter/runtime status
channel
> - The benefit is materially less wall-clock and token overhead per
heartbeat while preserving the context-bloat protection PF-4 was added
for

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #4838 (merged PF-4 change whose reset rule this refines), Refs
#5287, Refs #1907 (related timer-heartbeat session work).

No public GitHub issue exists for the slowdown itself; bug-report
fields:

- **What happened:** Agent pairs orchestrated through Paperclip
heartbeats complete identical task sets 1.8–2.2× slower (wall-clock)
than the same harness invoked directly. Profiling attributed the gap to
per-heartbeat orchestration overhead: every timer wake discards the task
session (full session start + re-orientation), and in degraded
environments agents repeatedly retry the same failing control-plane
write.
- **Expected behavior:** Heartbeat orchestration should add minimal
wall-clock overhead on top of the underlying harness; issue-scoped
continuation work should not pay a fresh-session tax each interval.
- **Steps to reproduce:** Run a fixed benchmark task set once through
Paperclip issue heartbeats and once via direct harness invocation with
the same model/config; compare wall-clock totals.
- **Version/commit:** master @ 3d23c3b2c3, self-hosted deployment.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`: `shouldResetTaskSessionForWake`
now resets only for `heartbeat_timer` wakes with no derivable task key
(unscoped exploratory wakes). Issue-scoped timer wakes reuse the issue's
task session. `describeSessionResetReason` updated to stay in exact
agreement.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-timer-wake-session-reset-pf4.test.ts`:
new cases for scoped vs unscoped timer wakes, plus the scoped case added
to the reset/reason agreement invariant.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`: wake prompt template and
execution contract gain a bounded-retry rule — after 2 consecutive
failures of the same control-plane write, stop retrying it for the rest
of the heartbeat, continue useful work, report the failure in the final
response, and use the adapter/runtime status channel as the sanctioned
fallback.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts`: asserts the new
prompt lines are present in both the template and the rendered wake
prompt.
- `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`: documents the same bounded write-retry
rule in the core Paperclip skill.

## Verification

- `node_modules/.bin/vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts` — 1 file, 83 tests
passed
- `cd server && node_modules/.bin/vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-timer-wake-session-reset-pf4.test.ts` — 1 file,
14 tests passed
- Both run on this branch rebased onto current master (3d23c3b2c3)

## Risks

- Behavioral shift: issue-scoped timer wakes now reuse sessions, so a
long-lived issue session can grow across heartbeats. Mitigated by
keeping the PF-4 reset for unscoped wakes (the originally observed bloat
case) and by existing session compaction.
- Prompt/skill text changes alter agent guidance; the new rule is scoped
narrowly to repeated failures of the same control-plane write.
- No migrations, no API or schema changes, no dependency changes.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic) — `claude-fable-5` (Fable 5), extended reasoning
with tool use, driven via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

### Problem or motivation

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

### Proposed solution

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

### Alternatives considered

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

### Roadmap alignment

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

## What Changed

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

## Instance-admin surface audit

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

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

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

## Verification

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic) — model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Code; read-only explore
subagents on the same model were used for the surface audit sweep.

DottaandPaperclip c3bd0c5d50 feat(skills): add beta releases for the core Paperclip skill (#10228)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to organize
and operate AI-agent companies.
> - Agent behavior depends partly on the bundled Paperclip core skill
synchronized into each runtime.
> - The existing database and runtime plumbing already supports
immutable skill-version snapshots and per-agent version selections, but
no product workflow exposed that capability.
> - Replacing the live bundled skill globally would make champion
adoption risky and difficult to compare across agents.
> - This pull request adds an experimental, instance-level beta-skills
gate plus a repository release registry, immutable seeded releases,
enforcement, and a per-agent release picker.
> - The benefit is controlled per-agent evaluation of frozen core-skill
releases while the default-off path remains behaviorally unchanged.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Subsystem affected

Cross-cutting: `server/`, `ui/`, `packages/db`, and `packages/shared`.

### Problem or motivation

Paperclip needs a safe way to evaluate improved versions of its core
operating skill without globally replacing the live default. Today the
version-snapshot and per-agent pin plumbing exists, but operators cannot
use it. A global replacement would make regressions difficult to contain
and would prevent controlled comparisons across agents.

### Proposed solution

Add a default-off instance experiment that exposes immutable, named
core-skill releases. When enabled, operators can pin each agent to a
seeded release; when disabled, every agent resolves the live default
while saved pins remain intact. Validate pinned writes at the API
boundary, gate reads at runtime, and expose the selection in the agent
Skills tab.

### Alternatives considered

- **Replace the bundled core skill globally:** rejected because it
changes every agent at once and provides no rollback/isolation boundary.
- **Ship releases as separate skills:** rejected because releases are
versions of one core capability, not independently enabled skills.
- **Store release snapshots only outside the repository:** rejected
because repository provenance and hashes make builds reproducible and
reviewable.

### Roadmap alignment

This extends the Skills Manager / Skill Studio direction in `ROADMAP.md`
by making core-skill versions operable per agent. It does not duplicate
another open implementation PR; GitHub searches found no related
`enableBetaSkills` change.

### Additional context

The feature remains experimental and default off. The V7 champion was
selected through a multi-model evaluation process, and the frozen
release contents are verified by SHA-256 below.

## What Changed

- Added the default-off instance-level `enableBetaSkills` experimental
flag.
- Added `skills-releases/paperclip/` with the ordered release registry
and frozen `v0` plus `v7-roster` snapshots.
- Added release metadata to `company_skill_versions` and idempotent
release seeding. The migration was planned as `0191`, then renumbered to
`0192` because current `master` claimed `0191` before final rebase.
- Added read-time gating and write-time validation so disabled instances
always resolve the live default and reject pinned-version writes.
- Added the per-agent Release picker in the agent Skills tab, including
responsive layout and beta-pin state.
- Kept `EDITS.md` out of the release registry and PR diff.

### V7 Adoption Evidence

- Paid roster: 6 models, 94-case suite.
- Result: 553/564 pass-within-2, mean 92.17/94, versus the P2 baseline
of 544/564.
- Reference model improved 84→91; maximin improved 84→90.
- Final report:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/skills/optimization/paperclip/pap-14624-p3-final-20260721/

### Provenance

- `v7-roster` is the Phase 1 champion plus additions-only edits
E107–E112. Per-edit rationale remains in the evals repository at
`source/v7-roster/EDITS.md` and is deliberately excluded from this PR.
- `v0` is the `skills/paperclip` tree from commit `ea66ea81`.
- Champion selection was accepted on July 21, 2026 via board card
`9c304fc2` (PAP-14624 G3).
- This delivery mechanism was accepted on July 24, 2026 via plan
revision `2367abd2` (PAP-14858).

### QA Evidence

- P4 QA matrix comment `b7f40522-4e9b-4a3a-9821-28e86fe1a987`: all 6
acceptance criteria passed.
- Automated QA matrix: 166 tests passed with 0 failures, including real
filesystem materialization and full SHA-256 assertions.
- UI QA exercised the real agent Skills tab at desktop and mobile widths
with the experimental flag both on and off.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- Focused beta-release matrix: 169 tests passed across shared
validators, server services/routes/heartbeat behavior, instance settings
UI, and release picker UI.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run`: server and UI partitions passed; one CLI doctor test
inherited temporary AWS credentials from the agent heartbeat and
expected no static credentials. The isolated rerun with
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`, and `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN`
unset passed 8/8.
- V7 SHA-256:
- `SKILL.md`:
`53ab290489684cbf116fdd1406a95f6b6f53c9c36358b1bf8bfeae481e253575`
- `references/cases.md`:
`3b821f59064a7761091020a14819a8d787131f24029748563d6c0e1be7e6eaec`
- `references/workflows.md`:
`69747bd6e05f7e3673d1e67b07ff295df1869c05e1fd029804d5fa9177db92cd`
- Confirmed 49 changed files, no `pnpm-lock.yaml`, no workflow changes,
and no `EDITS.md`.

## Risks

- **Migration:** low-to-moderate risk. Three nullable columns and one
partial unique index are added idempotently; existing rows remain valid.
- **Behavior:** low risk while the flag is off because read-time
resolution forces the live default and saved pins are preserved but
inactive.
- **Frozen content:** release snapshots intentionally diverge from
future live skill edits; provenance and hashes make that divergence
explicit and reproducible.
- **UI:** low risk. The picker only renders for the bundled core skill
when the experimental flag is enabled and seeded releases exist.

> This extends the existing Skills Manager / Skill Studio direction
described in `ROADMAP.md`; it does not duplicate another open
implementation PR. The GitHub PR search found no related
`enableBetaSkills` change.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex using `gpt-5.5` with reasoning and
terminal/code-execution tools; context-window size is not exposed by
this runtime. Earlier implementation commits also record Claude Opus 4.8
assistance where applicable.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 030dd9d15c feat(adapter-utils): provider-delegable syncIn seam with ordered post-upload commands (#10340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The adapter/runtime layer has to move files into sandboxes safely
and efficiently
> - The current sync-in path needs a provider-delegable seam so
providers can use their native upload transport when available
> - The upload contract also needs ordered post-upload commands so
extracted content can be finalized fail-fast after transfer
> - The fallback path still has to preserve current behavior when the
provider does not expose native sync verbs
> - This pull request adds the contract and runtime seam for
provider-delegable sync-in, plus the single-stream collapse flag
> - The benefit is fewer round trips, a cleaner provider-owned upload
path, and a compatible fallback for existing runners

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The underlying feature
request is described below in the repository's feature-request format.

### Problem or motivation

Paperclip needs a sync-in path that lets each provider choose the best
available upload transport instead of forcing the harness to orchestrate
uploads the same way every time. The runtime also needs a way to
describe ordered post-upload commands so providers can finalize
extracted content fail-fast after transfer.

### Proposed solution

Extend the sync contract with ordered post-upload commands, forward that
contract through the plugin and environment runtime layers, and make
client syncIn always available. When a provider advertises native sync
verbs, the client should delegate to that transport; otherwise it should
fall back to the existing tarball/write/extract behavior and then run
the post-upload commands in order.

### Alternatives considered

Keeping upload orchestration entirely host-side would avoid a contract
change, but it would block provider-specific transport optimizations and
keep the harness responsible for a path the provider can do more
efficiently. A separate post-upload API would add another surface
without improving the existing sync flow.

### Roadmap alignment

This work aligns with the broader runtime and adapter roadmap because it
improves provider integration without changing the external product
model. It is an additive contract change that preserves backward
compatibility for providers that do not expose native sync verbs.

### Additional context

The fallback path still needs to preserve existing observable behavior,
including command ordering, cwd confinement, and fail-fast execution.
The single-stream progress flag is part of the same transport
improvement so smaller writes can collapse to a single round trip when
the runner supports it.

## What Changed

- Added ordered `postUploadCommands` support to the sync operation
contract and SDK mirror.
- Plumbed the sync-in contract through the plugin and environment
runtime layers.
- Implemented a runtime client `syncIn` path that delegates to native
provider transport when available, otherwise uses the generic
tarball/write/extract fallback.
- Preserved fail-fast execution of ordered post-upload commands in the
fallback path.
- Flipped the sandbox runner's single-stream stdin progress flag to
collapse small `writeFile` operations to a single round trip.
- Added and updated tests for contract forwarding, fallback behavior,
cwd rejection, fail-fast behavior, and single-stream collapse.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run
protocol.postupload.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk exec vitest run
environment-sync-negotiation.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
command-managed-runtime.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
environment-execution-target.test.ts`
- Local typecheck and targeted suite runs reported in the handoff passed
before PR creation.

## Risks

- The new fallback path could diverge from the previous inline upload
behavior if the tarball/extract contract changes.
- Provider-native sync handling may expose provider-specific edge cases
if a runner advertises sync verbs but does not fully honor the contract.
- The single-stream flag changes transport behavior for small uploads,
so regressions would likely show up as round-trip or upload failures.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-5, tool-using coding agent).

DottaandPaperclip c111ee4cb3 feat(server): add per-user document stars (#9952)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies and their work.
> - Artifacts and documents are first-class outputs, but users need a
personal way to keep important documents easy to find.
> - Existing resource memberships already model per-user starred
projects and agents with company scoping and activity logging.
> - Documents lacked the equivalent membership model, route, and
artifact filtering behavior.
> - The shared membership contract also needs to remain safe for
existing UI project/agent mutation helpers when documents become a
recognized resource type.
> - This pull request extends the existing resource-membership system
with per-user document stars and a starred artifacts view.
> - The benefit is a company-scoped, idempotent server foundation for a
dedicated starred-documents experience without weakening authorization
or artifact filtering semantics.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Problem / Motivation

Board users cannot star individual documents, and the company artifacts
API cannot return only the current user's starred documents.

### Proposed Solution

Add company/user-scoped document memberships, a board-only document star
route, document membership data in the shared contract, and a
`starred=true` artifacts filter.

### Alternatives Considered

A document column was rejected because stars are per-user; a separate
star API was rejected because projects and agents already use resource
memberships.

### Roadmap Alignment

This extends the existing Artifacts & Work Products roadmap area and
does not duplicate another open pull request found in the repository
search.

## What Changed

- Added the `document_memberships` schema and migration with
company/user/document uniqueness and starred ordering.
- Extended shared resource-membership and artifact-query contracts for
documents and `starred=true`.
- Added company-scoped document star/unstar service and board-only route
behavior with activity logging.
- Added starred document artifact filtering, including user-authored
documents, document kinds, cursor ordering, and incompatible-kind
handling.
- Preserved idempotency under concurrent star requests and synchronized
UI membership defaults/helpers with the expanded contract.
- Added focused shared, route, service, and UI regression coverage.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/resource-memberships.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-artifacts-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/resource-memberships-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/SidebarAgents.test.tsx
ui/src/components/SidebarProjects.test.tsx
ui/src/components/SidebarStarredProjects.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm build`

## Risks

- The migration adds a new membership table and non-concurrent indexes;
migration safety gates pass with the repository's established policy.
- The starred artifacts query intentionally returns only documents and
relaxes the normal agent-authored/system-kind predicates for documents
the current user explicitly starred.
- Document membership mutations remain board-user-only; agent callers
receive no document-star capability.

0cf64d36a5 feat(secrets): write through external values and deep-link details (#10196)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage
AI-agent companies.
> - Its secrets subsystem can resolve external references such as AWS
Secrets Manager values without copying those values into Paperclip
custody.
> - Operators also need to rotate a referenced secret's value while
preserving the same provider reference for consumers inside and outside
Paperclip.
> - Previously, external-reference rotation could only retarget
metadata, and secret detail sheets were driven by local component state
rather than shareable navigation state.
> - This pull request adds an optional provider write capability,
implements AWS Secrets Manager write-through rotation, and exposes
capability-aware rotate modes in the UI.
> - It also makes secret and each-user definition detail sheets
URL-driven and adds a copy-link action.
> - The benefit is that operators can update the canonical external
value safely while keeping AWS rotation tracking intact, and they can
share or navigate directly to secret details.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Subsystem affected

Cross-cutting (`server/`, `ui/`, and `packages/shared`).

### Problem or motivation

External-reference secrets can follow a provider-managed value, but
Paperclip could not write a replacement value back to providers that
support it. Operators had to leave Paperclip, update the value
separately, and then return without an auditable Paperclip rotation
record. Secret detail sheets also could not be shared or restored
through browser history because their selection lived only in component
state.

### Proposed solution

Add an optional `updateExternalSecretValue` provider capability and
surface it as `supportsExternalValueWrites`. Implement AWS writes with
`PutSecretValue` while leaving the resolution `versionId` unset so
future reads continue following `AWSCURRENT`. Add write-value and
retarget modes to the rotate dialog for capable providers. Drive secret
detail selection from `?secret=` / `?definition=` query parameters and
provide a copy-link action.

### Alternatives considered

Converting an external reference into a Paperclip-managed secret would
break consumers that depend on the existing provider reference. Pinning
reads to the newly written AWS version would prevent later out-of-band
rotations from flowing through. Keeping sheet selection only in React
state would not support browser Back or shareable links.

### Roadmap alignment

This extends the completed “Secrets Manager with per-agent access”
roadmap capability; it does not duplicate a separate planned roadmap
item. Public GitHub searches found no duplicate or closely related issue
or PR.

### Additional context

The PR includes focused provider, service, and UI render coverage.
Cutter also generated previews for the deep-linked detail sheet and
capability-aware rotate modes.

## What Changed

- Added optional external-value write support to the secret provider
contract and provider descriptors.
- Implemented AWS Secrets Manager write-through with `PutSecretValue`,
audit material, and compensation when persistence fails after the
provider write.
- Allowed `secretService.rotate()` value updates for external references
while rejecting ambiguous value-plus-retarget combinations and
unsupported providers.
- Added capability-aware “Write new value” and “Change reference” rotate
modes with updated custody and action copy.
- Made secret and each-user definition detail sheets source their
selection from URL query parameters, compose with folder paths, close
through browser history, and expose a copy-link action.
- Added provider, service, and UI render coverage for write-through,
rollback, capability messaging, dialog modes, and deep links.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/__tests__/aws-secrets-manager-provider.test.ts` — 18 passed.
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` — 75
passed.
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx` — 31 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed with all gates clean.

## Risks

- External value writes affect the canonical provider secret and
therefore all consumers of that AWS secret; the UI explicitly labels
this custody behavior.
- A provider write can succeed before Paperclip persistence fails. The
service records the written version and AWS support includes
compensation coverage to restore the prior value where possible;
unrecoverable failures return explicit audit-safe error details.
- URL-driven sheet state changes navigation behavior; render tests cover
deep links, Back/close behavior, and composition with folder query
state.
- No database migration or breaking API requirement is introduced;
providers without the optional capability retain reference-only
behavior.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex using exact model ID `gpt-5.6-sol`, high reasoning mode,
Codex CLI `0.142.5`, with repository, shell, Git, GitHub CLI, and
code-execution tools. The runtime did not expose a context-window size.
- Earlier implementation commits were assisted by Anthropic `Claude
Fable 5` as recorded in their commit trailers; the exact backend model
ID and context-window size were not preserved in the workspace metadata.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #5787
Refs #7403

Related prior PRs found while searching for duplicates (all overlap
partially; none combine both lifecycle paths or the route-level
authorization used here): #6709 and #7312 (creator-withdraw attempts),
#8169 (terminal expiry), #8081 and #5137 (generalized cancel/expire
endpoints), #6094 (stale confirmation auto-resolve). Related merged
context: #9568 (agent cancel for ask_user_questions), #10119 (tolerating
legacy `withdrawn_by_creator` result outcomes — the reader side of the
outcome this PR writes).

## What Changed

- New route `POST /issues/:id/interactions/:interactionId/withdraw` that
resolves a `pending` interaction to status `withdrawn` with a structured
result (`outcome: "withdrawn"`, optional trimmed `reason`), stamps
`resolvedBy*`/`resolvedAt`, touches the issue, logs activity, and emits
resolved-interaction telemetry
- Withdrawal authorization: board users, the interaction's creator
agent, or the issue's current assignee agent (assignees additionally
pass the standard issue-mutation gate); task-watchdog runs are
explicitly rejected, and authorization-boundary plus low-trust
control-plane checks apply
- Withdrawing an already-resolved interaction returns `409`;
unknown/cross-issue/cross-company interaction ids return `404`
- New service method `expirePendingInteractionsForTerminalIssue`: when
an issue transitions to a terminal status, all of its `pending`
interactions are resolved to `expired` with `outcome: "issue_closed"`,
guarded by a `status = 'pending'` predicate so concurrent resolutions
are not overwritten
- The same expiry runs as a catch-up when interactions are listed on an
already-terminal issue, so cards stranded by issues closed before this
change also get cleaned up; expired request_confirmations are logged
with a distinguishing source
- Shared package: new `withdrawIssueThreadInteractionSchema` validator,
`WithdrawIssueThreadInteraction` type, and `withdrawn` / `issue_closed`
result-outcome support for all interaction kinds (kind-aware result
shapes for `ask_user_questions` and `request_item_verdicts`)
- UI helper `ui/src/lib/issue-thread-interactions.ts` recognizes the new
outcomes for card rendering
- Docs: bundled skill API reference updated with the withdraw endpoint
- Review follow-up: terminal expiry moved from the HTTP route hooks into
`issueService.update`'s status-transition block, so direct service
callers (tree control, recovery, pipelines, status cards) expire pending
cards too; the list-endpoint catch-up remains for issues closed before
this change
- Review follow-up: withdrawing or issue-close-expiring a
`request_confirmation` also settles its linked `tool_action_requests`
row (withdraw -> `cancelled`, issue closed -> `expired`), so a parked
tool call cannot stay approvable after its card is gone
- Review follow-up: interaction cards render dedicated copy for the new
outcomes ("Withdrawn" with the reason, "Expired when issue closed")
instead of falling through to superseded-by-comment / stale-target
variants; withdrawn plan reviews badge as "Withdrawn" rather than
"Changes requested"

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared build` — clean tsc
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts` — 22 tests pass,
including new coverage for: creator-agent withdraw success,
non-creator/non-assignee agent 403, watchdog-run 403, double-withdraw
409, and board-user withdraw
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts` — 4 tests pass,
including terminal-issue expiry writing `issue_closed` results and
leaving already-resolved interactions untouched
- `cd ui && pnpm typecheck` — clean
- `cd server && npx vitest run src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts` —
includes a new embedded-Postgres test proving a direct
`issueService.update` terminal transition expires pending interactions
and writes the activity-log entry
- `cd ui && npx vitest run
src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx` — 32 tests,
including new coverage for withdrawn / issue-closed confirmation and
question cards
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit` — matches the pre-existing repo error
baseline exactly (no new errors)
- Manual: `POST /issues/:id/interactions/:interactionId/withdraw` with
`{"reason":"superseded"}` as the creator agent resolves the card to
`withdrawn`; closing an issue with a pending confirmation flips it to
`expired` with `outcome: "issue_closed"`

## Risks

- Interactions on terminal issues now auto-expire (including
retroactively via the list-time catch-up), so consumers that expected to
resolve a pending interaction on a closed issue will get `409`; this is
the intended semantics and matches how the attention feed already wants
to treat dead cards
- New result outcomes (`withdrawn`, `issue_closed`) are written to
stored results; readers were already made tolerant of these outcome
strings in #10119, so mixed-version reads are safe
- No schema/migration changes; per-row conditional updates (`status =
'pending'`) avoid clobbering concurrent resolutions
- Withdrawal is a new mutation surface, but it is strictly narrower than
existing resolve paths (board, creator, or assignee only; watchdog runs
blocked)

Devin Foley 273315a4d0 feat(server): provision managed sandbox environments from the managed config (#10324)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Hosted/managed deployments configure instances entirely from the
control plane: `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG` already delivers feature flags
and `plugins.autoInstall` (bundled sandbox provider plugins), parsed
fail-closed at boot
> - A plugin alone is not usable for execution: runs need an
instance-level `driver: "sandbox"` environment row pointing at the
provider, and today only Kubernetes has a boot path for that
(`PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE` → `ensureKubernetesEnvironment`); every
other provider requires a manual product-API call the control plane
cannot make on a managed instance
> - Adding one `ensureXxxEnvironment` per provider would multiply
near-identical boot hooks and env-var surfaces
> - This pull request generalizes the existing Kubernetes machinery: the
managed-config document gains an optional `environments` section that
declares a sandbox environment for any bundled provider, ensured
idempotently at boot by a provider-agnostic service function (the
Kubernetes hook becomes a thin wrapper over it)
> - The benefit is that a managed fleet can provision any sandbox
provider (Daytona, Modal, E2B, …) purely from configuration — no
per-provider code, no manual API calls, no secrets in the document —
while self-hosted behavior is untouched

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists. Refs #10157 (the cloud image variant that
bundles sandbox provider plugins — this PR is the configuration half
that makes an installed provider usable).

**Problem (feature-request shape):** on a managed instance the control
plane can auto-install a bundled sandbox provider plugin via
`PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG.plugins.autoInstall`, but cannot create the
environment row that makes the provider schedulable. The only boot-time
environment provisioning is Kubernetes-specific
(`PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE=kubernetes` + `PAPERCLIP_K8S_*`). A generic,
config-driven path is needed so any bundled provider can be provisioned
without per-plugin code or manual API calls.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/managed-config.ts`: optional `environments`
top-level section — `[{ name, description?, provider, config? }]` —
validated fail-closed: unknown keys, more than one entry (the DB permits
exactly one Paperclip-managed sandbox row,
`environments_managed_sandbox_idx`), a `provider` not present in
`plugins.autoInstall`, `config.provider`, or secret-looking config keys
at any depth (`api_key`/`token`/`secret`/`password`/`credential`) all
refuse startup. Absent section ⇒ `environments: []`, so pre-section
documents keep booting newer builds.
- `server/src/services/environments.ts`: new provider-agnostic
`ensureManagedSandboxEnvironment({ name, description?, provider,
config?, extraMetadata? })` — idempotently owns the single managed
sandbox row: refreshes name/description/config each call, adopts the
slot across provider switches (dropping the stale
`managedKubernetesSandbox` marker), adopts a same-name unmanaged sandbox
row (stamping it managed) instead of colliding on
`environments_name_idx` every boot, and falls back to keeping the
current name if the desired name belongs to a different row.
`ensureKubernetesEnvironment` is now a thin wrapper that pins `provider:
"kubernetes"` and stamps the legacy marker.
- `server/src/services/managed-environments.ts` (new):
`applyManagedEnvironments` boot step — no-op for self-hosted/empty;
throws (fail startup) when `PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE` is also set, since
both would own the same managed sandbox row; otherwise ensures each
declared environment fail-safe per entry (log + continue boot, matching
bundled-plugin provisioning posture).
- `server/src/index.ts`: runs the new boot step right after the
execution-policy bootstrap, before the heartbeat resumes queued runs.
- `server/src/services/index.ts`: exports `applyManagedEnvironments` and
`ManagedEnvironmentSpec`.
- Secrets stay out of the document by construction: provider credentials
reach managed instances only as process env vars (each provider's
documented fallback, e.g. `DAYTONA_API_KEY` for the Daytona plugin).

## Verification

```sh
cd server
pnpm exec tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json
pnpm exec vitest run \
  src/__tests__/managed-config.test.ts \
  src/services/managed-environments.test.ts \
  src/services/execution-policy-bootstrap.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/environment-service.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/environment-instance-routes.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/environment-routes.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/plugin-install-guard.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/environment-execution-target.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/instance-settings-managed-overlay.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/bundled-plugins.test.ts
```

All pass locally (typecheck clean; environment-service suite runs
against embedded Postgres and exercises the refactored Kubernetes
wrapper plus the new generic ensure: create/refresh, provider switch,
unmanaged-row adoption, name-conflict fallback). New tests cover the
parser (12 cases incl. secret-key rejection at depth) and the boot step
(no-op, mutual exclusion, pass-through, fail-safe).

## Risks

- **Self-hosted: none intended.** Without `PAPERCLIP_MANAGED_CONFIG`
nothing new executes; the `PAPERCLIP_EXECUTION_MODE=kubernetes` path is
regression-covered by the existing bootstrap/service/route suites (all
green).
- **Behavioral shift in `ensureKubernetesEnvironment` (deliberate):** it
now also refreshes `name`/`description` to their managed defaults each
boot (desired-state semantics, same as config today) and adopts a
`managedByPaperclip` sandbox row that lacks the Kubernetes marker —
previously that state made the ensure throw every boot.
- **New startup failure modes are all explicit misconfigurations**
(malformed section, provider not auto-installed, secret in config,
execution-mode conflict) and fail with precise errors; DB-side ensure
failures never block boot (fail-safe per entry, logged).
- No migrations; no API surface changes.

197718bc00 feat(acpx): per-step round-trip + provider-latency attribution for sandbox startup (#10222)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Sandbox-backed runs need more precise startup observability so
operators can see where time is spent before an adapter is invoked
> - Aggregate startup timing hides which boundary is actually slow,
especially in remote execution where the bottleneck can move between
host round-trips, provider-boundary latency, and handshake phases
> - This pull request keeps the existing startup timing channel additive
while attributing the latency to the specific startup steps that caused
it
> - The benefit is better diagnosis of sandbox startup regressions
without changing control flow or introducing a schema migration

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #10204

This PR extends the existing sandbox run-startup timing observability
with per-step round-trip and provider-latency attribution for the
Daytona startup path. It keeps the event payload additive and free-form,
and it leaves the control flow, database schema, and external adapter
interfaces unchanged.

## What Changed

- Added per-step round-trip counting for the host-to-sandbox execute
seam
- Added provider-boundary duration accumulation for the Daytona execute
and re-fetch steps
- Split the ACP handshake timing into `createRuntimeMs` and
`ensureSessionMs` while preserving the warm-handle skip
- Kept the startup timing payload additive and did not add a schema
migration

## Verification

- `adapter-utils` acpx-engine and startup-timing suites: pass
- Daytona plugin suite: pass with mocked SDK and injected-clock duration
assertions
- `server` environment-execution-target suite: pass
- `tsc --noEmit` for adapter-utils and server: pass
- Git validation: fetched
`origin/feat/sandbox-start-step-timing-attribution`, confirmed it
matches the authorized submit SHA
`53c573266e618af05c57a0720aaa9d9e0452de61`, and confirmed the branch
contains only the expected commit on top of `origin/master`
- Searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs/issues; found one closely
related merged PR and no open duplicate on this branch
- Checked `ROADMAP.md`; the broad sandbox-agent roadmap section does not
call out this specific startup-timing attribution work as a duplicate

## Risks

- Low risk: the change is additive and only enriches existing timing
data
- Downstream consumers that assume aggregate-only startup timing may
need to tolerate the additional per-step fields
- The finer spawn/initialize/session split remains a follow-up in the
external ACP client because that hook is not available here yet

OpenAI GPT-5, tool-using coding agent

DottaandPaperclip c481be44e3 fix(task-watchdogs): deduplicate unchanged stopped-state wakes (#10207)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Task watchdogs review issue subtrees when no run or queued wake
keeps work live
> - Pending human interactions and approvals are valid stopped states
that still need one watchdog review
> - The existing fingerprint included volatile activity timestamps, so
unchanged stopped trees could wake repeatedly after comments, documents,
work products, or sibling completions
> - This pull request fingerprints only review-material leaf and wait
state, persists the reviewed snapshot, and suppresses shrink-only
repeats
> - The benefit is one review per materially new stopped state without
weakening liveness classification or hiding human waits

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### What happened?

Task-watchdog stop fingerprints changed for metadata-only activity and
completed siblings, producing duplicate wakes after an unchanged stop
had already been reviewed.

### Expected behavior

Pending interactions and approvals remain classified as stopped, but a
reviewed stopped state only wakes again when waits, non-terminal leaves,
status, assignment, or blockers gain material changes.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Review a stopped watched subtree with a pending human wait or
multiple non-terminal stopped leaves.
2. Add only comment/document/work-product activity, or complete one
stopped sibling without changing the wait set.
3. Observe a duplicate wake from the timestamp-heavy fingerprint.

Related public work: Refs #9452 for overlapping task-watchdog service
edits and #10043 for related no-op fingerprint suppression.

## What Changed

- Added fingerprint v2 over non-terminal material leaves plus
subtree-wide pending wait ids, excluding volatile timestamps while
retaining them in wake context.
- Added nullable observed/reviewed JSONB stop snapshots and shrink-only
reviewed-state suppression with legacy exact-fingerprint fallback.
- Added pending interaction kinds and approval ids to watchdog wake
context, review comments, and comment metadata.
- Added classifier and scheduler coverage for waiting-leaf liveness,
metadata stability, sibling shrink suppression, material changes,
snapshot promotion, legacy rows, and unchanged idempotency keys.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/task-watchdogs-classifier.test.ts
src/__tests__/task-watchdogs-scheduler.test.ts` — 2 files, 36 tests
passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed.

## Risks

- Fingerprint version 2 intentionally re-fingerprints every currently
stopped watched tree once after deployment, causing a one-time wake
burst before the new reviewed snapshots are established.
- Migration `0191_task_watchdog_stop_snapshots.sql` only adds two
nullable JSONB columns with no backfill; legacy rows continue
exact-fingerprint behavior until a post-deploy review promotes a
snapshot.
- PR #9452 edits the same service file; whichever lands second may need
a trivial rebase.

DottaandPaperclip 4e00818574 fix(runtime): support in-place workspace realization (#10230)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane people use to coordinate AI agents
and their execution environments.
> - Environment realization decides where an agent runs and which
filesystem and toolchain are authoritative.
> - Copy-based realization is unsafe for container-anchored tasks
because absolute paths such as `/app` can point outside the synchronized
tree and task-specific binaries may be absent.
> - That mismatch can let an agent successfully verify work in a phantom
writable path while sync-back silently discards the result.
> - Existing task environments already provide the authoritative
filesystem and toolchain, so they should be executed in place rather
than copied.
> - Copy mode still needs explicit confinement rules so aliases target
the synchronized workspace and unsynchronized writable paths fail
visibly.
> - This pull request adds typed realization metadata, propagates the
authoritative root through orchestration, and teaches Codex to honor it.
> - The benefit is that container-anchored tasks operate on
verifier-visible state with the intended tools, while copy mode remains
safe and backward compatible.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this defect.

GitHub duplicate searches for in-place execution, workspace realization,
and authoritative workspace roots found no related pull request to link.

### What happened?

Environment-backed agent runs were always realized through a copied
workspace. Tasks anchored to absolute container paths could therefore
write outside the synchronized tree, and task-provided toolchains were
unavailable in the copy. A run could report success even though
sync-back discarded its output.

### Expected behavior

Existing task environments should run against their real authoritative
root and toolchain. Copy-mode runs should map declared absolute aliases
into the synchronized tree and reject writable paths that cannot be
restored.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run a Codex task environment whose required files live under `/app`
or `/workspace` and whose required binary exists only in the task
container.
2. Observe that copy realization changes the effective
filesystem/toolchain or permits writes outside the synchronized root.
3. Complete and verify the task inside the agent sandbox.
4. Observe that the verifier cannot see out-of-tree artifacts or that
task-specific commands were unavailable.

### Reproduction context

- Paperclip commit: `3a16b91217483d2c233926de5b7f7bc3a1077924`
- Deployment: built from source in a task-container execution
environment
- Adapter: Codex local
- Database: not database-related
- Access context: agent execution

## What Changed

- Added typed `copy | in_place` workspace-realization metadata,
authoritative roots, confined aliases, and outbound restore paths to
shared execution-target contracts.
- Selected in-place realization for existing task environments and
skipped archive prepare/restore when the authoritative environment is
used directly.
- Propagated the authoritative root into adapter context so Codex uses
it for cwd and `PAPERCLIP_WORKSPACE_*` semantics, including ACP
execution.
- Bound copy-mode aliases such as `/app` to the synchronized workspace
and rejected writable out-of-tree paths without explicit restore
mappings.
- Added focused regression coverage while preserving existing copy-mode
archive restore behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/local-process-sandbox.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/execute.remote.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/environment-run-orchestrator.test.ts` — 48 passed,
4 skipped.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY -u
AWS_SESSION_TOKEN pnpm test:run` — passed across all general and
serialized Vitest shards.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Codex `k=1` acceptance run completed July 24, 2026 at 23:54:30 UTC
with 4 completed, 0 exceptions, and mean reward 1.0: `build-cython-ext`,
`openssl-selfsigned-cert`, `prove-plus-comm`, and `sqlite-db-truncate`
each received terminal grade 1.0 against real task-environment paths and
toolchains.

## Risks

- In-place mode deliberately exposes the authoritative task root to the
adapter; incorrect environment metadata could point execution at the
wrong root. Typed metadata and focused orchestration tests cover
selection and propagation.
- Copy-mode writable-path validation is stricter and may reject
previously accepted unsafe configurations. The rejection is intentional
and produces a visible error instead of silently losing output.
- The acceptance run is focused on four Codex task-environment
workloads, not a broad cross-adapter benchmark. Existing copy-mode
archive tests and the full repository suite remain green.

DottaandPaperclip 30ff3d7c58 feat(routines): expose activity gate API (#9438)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Scheduled routines provide recurring control-plane work without
manual intervention
> - The new activity gate can suppress scheduled runs when no external
work occurred
> - The core scheduler and database support landed without a public
create/update contract
> - Agents, operators, and managed plugins need validated fields plus
discoverable semantics to opt in safely
> - This pull request exposes the activity gate through routine APIs,
revisions, plugin contracts, tests, and skill documentation
> - The benefit is backward-compatible control over idle scheduled work
without losing activity-triggered follow-up

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Refs #8534

## What Changed

- Added shared activity-gate policy and scope enums with create/PATCH
validation.
- Persisted activity-gate fields through routine creation, updates,
revision snapshots, pipeline snapshots, and revision restores.
- Defaulted legacy revision snapshots during restore and added
regression coverage for pre-field snapshots.
- Extended managed-plugin routine declarations, production
reconciliation, and the SDK test harness to preserve non-default gate
settings.
- Added end-to-end API coverage for create/PATCH/list/detail
round-trips, defaults, and invalid enum rejection.
- Documented schedule-only semantics, activity windows,
own-run/read-action exclusions, scopes, and an hourly quiet-night
watcher example.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/routine.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routines-e2e.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/validators/plugin.test.ts
packages/plugins/sdk/tests/testing-actions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-managed-routines.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts -t 'activity
gate|preserves declared activity gate settings|resolves routine agent
and project refs'`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/workspace-routines.test.ts
ui/src/pages/Routines.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- GitHub CI: all final-head checks green; Storybook visual regression
skipped by path rules.
- Greptile: 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- Low risk: defaults remain `always` and `company`, preserving existing
routine behavior and old revision snapshots.
- Managed plugin manifests can now declare the same validated gate
settings as the public routine API; omitted values retain core defaults.
- Revision snapshots now include the new fields so policy changes are
not lost or treated as no-ops during restore.

> For core feature work, checked `ROADMAP.md`: this extends the existing
Scheduled Routines roadmap item and does not duplicate a separate
planned capability.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-5.5 via Codex CLI, with repository tool use and code
execution; context-window size was not exposed by the runtime.

DottaandPaperclip 8f08ec5ce6 feat(status-cards): join summary-mentioned issues to watched set (#10205)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Status cards summarize changing company work and watch issues so
later changes can produce useful deltas
> - A summary can explicitly reference issues that are important to the
update even when those issues do not match the card's configured queries
> - Previously, those referenced issues were not retained in the watched
set, so their later status, assignee, or comment changes could be missed
> - The watched snapshot must avoid artificial additions or removals
caused only by a summary changing which issues it references
> - This pull request resolves issue references when a summary is
written, persists them, and joins them to the watched snapshot with
stable delta semantics
> - The benefit is that status cards continue tracking the exact issues
their latest update called out while keeping follow-up updates relevant
and non-duplicative

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Pre-submission checklist

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

### What happened?

When a status-card summary explicitly referenced an issue by identifier
or `/issues/<uuid>` URL, that issue was not automatically retained in
the card's watched set unless it independently matched a configured
query. Later status, assignee, or comment changes to an issue
highlighted by the latest update could therefore be omitted.

### Expected behavior

References in the latest summary should resolve only within the card's
company, appear in dry runs and the watched-issues UI, count and
fingerprint like query matches, and enter or leave the watched set
without artificial added/removed deltas already represented by the
summary change.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Create a status card whose query does not match a second issue in the
same company.
2. Write a summary that references the second issue by identifier or
issue URL.
3. Inspect the card's watched count or Watched issues tab.
4. Change the referenced issue's status, assignee, or comments and run
the next update.
5. Before this change, the referenced issue is absent from the watched
snapshot and its later change does not produce the expected delta.

### Paperclip version or commit

- Reproduced on `master` before this PR (base commit `762ce5b4ef`).

### Deployment mode

- Local dev (`pnpm dev`), built from source.

### Agent adapter(s) involved

- Not adapter-specific (core bug).

### Database mode

- Embedded Postgres test environment; the schema change uses standard
PostgreSQL JSONB.

### Access context

- Board (human operator).

## What Changed

- Added migration `0191` and schema support for persisted
`status_cards.mentioned_issue_ids`.
- Resolved summary references by issue identifier or `/issues/<uuid>`
URL within the status card's company when summaries are written.
- Joined mentioned issues into watched counts and fingerprints so later
status, assignee, and comment changes generate normal update deltas.
- Suppressed artificial added/removed deltas when the latest summary
starts or stops mentioning an issue.
- Added `mentionedIssues` to dry-run responses and a “Mentioned in the
latest update” group in the Watched issues tab.
- Updated the summarizer prompt to explain that referenced issues
automatically join the watched set.
- Added focused server and UI coverage for reference resolution,
snapshot behavior, deltas, API responses, and rendering.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/status-cards.test.ts
src/__tests__/status-card-update-engine.test.ts` — 31 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/StatusCards/StatusCardTile.test.tsx` — 11 tests passed.
- Earlier implementation verification also passed database/shared/server
typechecks, UI `tsc -b`, the broader StatusCards UI test set, and
embedded-Postgres migration application.

### Visual Verification

- Greptile T-Rex ran Playwright browser checks successfully and captured
the Status Card drawer Watched tab showing the new “Mentioned in the
latest update” grouping:
https://app.greptile.com/trex/runs/15796101/artifacts

## Risks

- The migration adds a nullable JSONB column and is backward-compatible;
existing cards have no mentioned issues until their next summary write.
- Reference extraction is company-scoped to prevent cross-company issue
association.
- Watched counts and future fingerprints change for cards whose latest
summaries reference issues; tests cover additions, removals, and
suppression of spurious deltas.
- This targeted status-card fix does not introduce a new roadmap
subsystem or external integration.

## Model Used

- Anthropic Claude Fable 5 (Paperclip model alias; exact underlying
provider model ID and context window were not recorded in the
implementation task metadata), with extended reasoning, tool use, and
code execution.
- OpenAI Codex coding agent (runtime model identifier and context window
not exposed to this task) prepared the PR, rebased the branch, and ran
focused verification with terminal tool use.

DottaandPaperclip 665408c6d0 fix(codex): classify mid-turn harness crashes structurally as retriable infra (#10210)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI
agents and their work
> - Heartbeat execution relies on adapters distinguishing agent failures
from failures in the harness running beneath the agent
> - Codex MCP transport crashes can kill the CLI after the JSONL
protocol has started but before it emits a protocol-terminal event
> - Those interrupted streams were left unclassified, so the control
plane terminalized the heartbeat as `heartbeat_failed` / `agent_failure`
with no continuation
> - Agent-level failure is already expressible through the JSONL
protocol via an `error` event, `turn.failed`, or `turn.completed`, so an
interrupted nonzero exit can be classified structurally without
inspecting unstable error strings
> - This pull request reports that shape as `codex_harness_crash` in the
`transient_upstream` family and routes it through Paperclip's existing
bounded retry and recovery-continuation paths
> - The benefit is that transient Codex harness failures recover safely
without misclassifying quoted agent output or depending on
transport-specific wording

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- **What happened:** Codex MCP transport failures, including rmcp worker
death, could terminate the CLI mid-turn after protocol output began but
before any terminal JSONL event. The run then became an unclassified
terminal heartbeat failure with `continuationCount: 0`; this occurred in
3 of 44 L3 Codex-lane trials during the associated benchmark
investigation.
- **Expected behavior:** a nonzero Codex exit after the protocol starts
but before an `error`, `turn.failed`, or `turn.completed` event should
be treated as a harness/infrastructure crash and enter the existing
bounded retry policy.
- **Why structural classification:** transport error strings vary, and
stdout may quote agent output that merely discusses network failures.
The protocol boundary identifies whether the agent itself produced a
terminal result without regex matching.
- **Recovery behavior:** `codex_harness_crash` maps to `errorFamily:
transient_upstream`, using the existing `same_session` →
`safer_invocation` → `fresh_session` ladder plus the
recovery-continuation transient-infrastructure path.
- Supersedes the regex-based approach in #10150, which is closed.

## What Changed

- Added protocol-state tracking that identifies a nonzero exit after
protocol start and before any protocol-terminal event as
`codex_harness_crash`.
- Propagated the structural classification as `transient_upstream`
through the Codex adapter.
- Added parse unit coverage, including a faithful crash-shaped stream,
without matching stderr transport strings.
- Added adapter execution coverage using a fake Codex process that emits
a protocol prefix and then dies with the observed rmcp stderr line.
- Added heartbeat bounded-retry coverage, including the `errorCode`-only
fallback, and recovery-continuation classification coverage.

## Verification

- `parse.test.ts` — 16 passed.
- `codex-local-execute.test.ts` — 16 passed.
- `heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts` — 30 passed.
- `service.pause-durability.test.ts` — 6 passed.
- Server and Codex adapter TypeScript checks passed.
- The branch commit is unchanged from the tested and pushed `88f5464d40`
handoff.

## Risks

- Low risk: the classification requires a nonzero exit after protocol
start and before any protocol-terminal event, so normal agent-declared
failures and completed turns keep their existing behavior.
- The change intentionally broadens recovery for structurally
interrupted Codex runs; bounded retry limits still prevent indefinite
continuation loops.
- No schema, migration, public API, UI, lockfile, or workflow changes.

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

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent. The exact runtime model ID and
context-window size were not exposed by the execution environment;
capabilities used for the implementation included repository analysis,
reasoning, code editing, and terminal-based test execution.
