Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 11ac90e31f fix(build): typecheck server/src/__tests__ and fix every type error (#18739)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server has about 1,100 test and helper files in
`server/src/__tests__`
> - `server/tsconfig.json` excludes that directory, Vitest does not
check types, and no script runs the tsconfig in that directory
> - So a test can call a function with the wrong arguments and still
pass, and no tool reports it
> - This gap hid 2,168 real type errors, and some of them hid tests that
did not test what they claim
> - This pull request fixes all of these errors and adds the directory
to the server layers from paperclipai/paperclip#18737
> - The benefit is that a type error in a server test now fails the
typecheck, with no baseline and no backlog

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18737, which is merged and added the server
layers. Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18738, which is merged and checks the
test projects outside `pnpm -r`, so it is not a duplicate. Refs
paperclipai/paperclip#18137, which records that this directory has no
check.

**What happened?**

No tool checked the types of 1,074 of the 1,101 files in
`server/src/__tests__`. I searched `package.json`, the workflows, and
all tsconfig files. 27 files are in the program of another tsconfig, and
these 27 have 0 errors. 11 of the 27 are in
`helpers/maintenance/tsconfig.json`. No script ran that project when I
measured this. paperclipai/paperclip#18738 now runs it.

**Expected behavior**

The server typecheck checks these files, and a type error fails the
check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On the base commit, run `tsc -p server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json
--noEmit`. It reports 6,536 errors and needs 12.3 GiB.
2. Add a type error to any file in `server/src/__tests__`.
3. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`. It passes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

I measured the error breakdown below on commit `8dfd632452`, with
TypeScript 7.0.2. The branch now includes master up to
paperclipai/paperclip#18865.

**Deployment mode**

Not applicable. This issue applies to development and CI. No production
source file in the server changes.

### Error breakdown

Each row adds one change to the row above.

| Step | Total errors | Change | Cause |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Config as committed | 6,536 | | |
| Add `src/types/*.d.ts` | 4,447 | -2,089 | Config. The Express request
types were missing. |
| Set `rootDir` to the repository root | 2,436 | -2,011 | Config. |
| Set `allowImportingTsExtensions` | 2,181 | -255 | Config. Vitest
accepts `.ts` imports. |
| Add `ES2024.Promise` to `lib` | 2,138 | -43 | Config. Node 24 has
`Promise.withResolvers`. |
| Set `allowJs` for `.mjs` imports | 2,148 | +10 | Config. It removes 8
`TS7016` errors and shows new real errors. |
| Set `declaration` to false | 2,142 | -6 | Config. Tests emit nothing.
|
| Count only files in `server/src` | 2,058 | -84 | Other packages: 53
Daytona, 29 Runner test, 2 UI. |

So 4,478 of the 6,536 errors (69%) came from config or scope, and 2,058
are real type errors in 314 files. The 29 Runner test errors are also
real, which gives 2,087 errors. Tests that master added after this
measurement had 81 more errors, so this pull request fixes 2,168 errors.

This table classifies the first 2,058 errors.

| Kind of real error | Errors |
| --- | --- |
| Wrong argument or assignment type | 1,023 |
| Stale or partial fixture objects | 525 |
| Property that the type does not have | 317 |
| Missing narrowing of null or unknown | 101 |
| Implicit any | 60 |
| Missing name or module | 16 |
| Other | 16 |

### What the type errors hid

Most errors were stale fixtures and loose mocks. These errors hid real
test problems, and this pull request fixes them:

- **A test that never ran.** `instrumentation.test.ts` required
`sdk-trace-base`, which is not installed. So 3 span tests were skipped.
They now run and pass.
- **Assertions that could not fail.**
- `issue-thread-interactions-service` used a company ID as an issue ID.
- `status-card-evaluation-work` compared `[]` with `[]` in a rollback
check.
- `slack-conversation-lifecycle` read `item.issueId`, which does not
exist.
  - `email-channels` used a permission key that does not exist.
- `heartbeat-project-env` imported `LOW_TRUST_REVIEW_PRESET`, which is
not exported. The value was undefined.
- **Postgres processes that did not stop.** 11 test files called `stop`
on the test database helper. That method does not exist, and the helper
method is `cleanup`.
- **Arguments that the service ignored.**
- `methodKey` is now `connectionMethodKey` in the Daytona, Unikraft,
1Password, and Railway tests.
- 108 calls passed `"owner-user"` to a parameter that expects an options
object.
- 9 chat wizard fixtures passed `managementContext` as `source`, so they
ran `existing_app` and not `manifest`.
  - 2 tests passed a `{ userId }` actor that the function ignores.
- Inserts into `environments` passed a `companyId` column that the table
does not have.
- **Problems in tests that master added during this work.**
- `sandbox-creation-operations` read `database.connectionString` when an
external test database was set. In that mode `database` is undefined, so
the fixture would stop with a TypeError. It now uses the external URL.
- `idle-completed-history` set a Dot operation to `dispatched`. That is
a Muse status, and the Dot type does not have it. The fixture now uses
`admitted`, which is a real in-flight Dot status.

### Possible product problems, not changed

These may be real problems in production code or types. I did not change
them, because this pull request does not change production behavior:

- `decisions-service` `service.create` does not validate the lenient
`cancel_issue_tree` input.
- `createConnection` ignores `input.connectionPurpose`.
- The `createConnection` route schema default stores `{}` for
`transportConfig`.
- `prepareManagedAiRuntime` accepted the invalid value `mode:
"connection"`.
- `createBinding` accepts invalid `projectionClass` strings outside
class 3.
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` forwards an untyped `repoRef` by
spread.
- `routineVariableSchema.label` is optional, but `RoutineVariable.label`
is required.
- `ToolRunContext.projectId` may be too strict.
- `withdrawInteraction` reads `issue.status`, which its type omits.
- `issueService.list` and `reconcileNativeFinalizations` omit fields
that they return at runtime.
- `createGitHubExternalObjectProvider` handles `tokenProvider: null`,
but its type forbids this value.

## What Changed

- Fixed the 2,168 type errors. The diff changes 322 test and helper
files.
- Corrected `server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. Editors and the
typecheck now read the same options and report the same errors.
- Added three `test-tree` layers to
`server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`. They read the server layers as
declarations, and any error fails them. A hash of the path selects the
shard, so a new file does not move other files.
- Added `server/scripts/typecheck-stubs/daytona-sdk.d.ts`. Server tests
reach Daytona plugin source, and the root install does not have
`@daytonaio/sdk`.
- Changed two imports in `ui/src/lib/issue-execution-policy.ts` to use
`.js` extensions, because server tests import this file.
- Made `declarationsConfig` and `--declarations-only` skip the
`test-tree` layers, because these layers emit nothing. Other projects
read only the source layers. Added a test for this.
- Updated `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

Run these commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run server/scripts/typecheck-layers.test.mjs
```

Results on macOS (arm64), Node 24, 16 cores. Each check ran after the
merge of paperclipai/paperclip#18738 unless the row says otherwise:

| Check | Commit | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Server typecheck, `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1`, all 7 layers |
`6e45a08573` | Exit 0, 0 errors, 62 seconds, peak 3.52 GiB |
| `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs --low-memory` | `a3306bd13e`
| Exit 0, 0 errors, 42 seconds, peak 3.25 GiB |
| The same script with `--reuse-declarations` | `1b878aabc0` | Exit 0, 0
errors |
| `typecheck-layers.test.mjs` and `live-recovery-work.test.ts` |
`01db5634e4` | 90 passed. These include real compiler runs for a pass, a
type error, and an invalid tsconfig. |
| `tsconfig.declarations.json` after a full server typecheck |
`0fb1e4fb0a` | It references only `below`, `cycle`, and `above`. No
generated config names a `tsconfig.layers.json` file. |
| Owned runtime test in `idle-completed-history` | `e8f2f448ac` |
Passed, with the fix that master later replaced |
| `idle-incoming-wake`, `plugin-idle-manager`, and the changed
`chat-channels` test | `6e45a08573` | 30 passed |
| Runner `native-execution.test.ts` | `eab4dcc1f4` | 114 passed |
| The 19 server test files that changed since `eab4dcc1f4`, and
`typecheck-layers.test.mjs` | `259737b700` | 4,275 of 4,277 passed. The
2 failures are in `chat-channels` and are in the list of 7 below. |

The peak is the largest single process, from `/usr/bin/time -l`. Peaks
for the server typecheck were between 3.42 GiB and 3.56 GiB across 8
runs. Peaks for the test projects were 3.25 GiB and 3.37 GiB across 2
runs. I did not measure a cgroup.

**Runtime check of the fixes.** Types do not prove that a test still
works. So I ran all 309 changed server test files, 11,929 tests, before
the rebase onto paperclipai/paperclip#18737:

| Result | Tests | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Passed | 11,913 | Includes the 2 tests and the 54 `dot-runner` tests
that passed in a later run, as described below. |
| Failed | 7 | The same 7 tests also fail on the commit before the
fixes. |
| Skipped | 9 | These tests have their own skip conditions: `sentry` 5,
and 1 each in `bundled-plugin-registration`, `customer-success-cloud`,
`onepassword-connection`, and `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise`. |

The 7 tests that fail with and without this change, on my machine:

- 3 tests in `chat-channels` and `email-channels` stop with `ENOENT` on
a `SKILL.md` file. The path is in the parent checkout, above the git
worktree that I used, so I expect that the worktree is the cause. I did
not prove this.
- `workspace-instance-cleanup` compares `/private/var/...` with
`/var/...`. This is a macOS symlink difference.
- 2 tests in `git-reproducible-managed-checkouts` get
`unknown_base_git_files` and expect `unpushed_managed_checkout`. I did
not find the cause.
- 1 more test in `chat-channels`, `materializes direct external-chat
finals once`, gets `undefined`. I did not find the cause.

CI is the check for these 7 tests. `ci / verify` passed on `eab4dcc1f4`.

Failures during this work:

- My fix to `agent-runtime-connector-access` changed an invalid
permission key in the setup, but not in the assertion. The runtime check
found this. I corrected the assertion, and the file passes.
- `heartbeat-plugin-environment` failed one wait in the full run. It
passed three times alone, so I think that load caused the failure. It
can fail again under load.
- `dot-runner` skipped all 54 tests in the full run because `cargo` was
not on my `PATH`. It then passed 54 of 54 with the toolchain on the
`PATH`.
- My first `lib` value removed the default DOM types, and the error
count went up by 375. I added the DOM libraries.
- My Daytona stub with bare `any` left 48 errors, because generic
helpers then inferred `unknown`. I added shapes that return promises.
- One fix to `agent-secrets-routes` used `class_3_static_lease`, and the
test failed. That class allows only specific paths. I reverted to
`unclassified`.
- `ci / General tests (server (8/12))` failed on `259737b700` because of
the flaky port in `idle-completed-history`. paperclipai/paperclip#18853
fixed this test on master, so this pull request keeps that fix.

**Audit of the diff.** I counted these patterns in added and removed
lines, to find fixes that only hide an error:

| Pattern | Added | Removed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `@ts-ignore` | 0 | 0 |
| `@ts-expect-error` | 0 | 1 |
| `.skip` | 0 | 0 |
| `as any` | 9 | 9 |
| `: any` | 11 | 2 |
| `as never` | 8 | 2 |
| `as unknown as` | 35 | 4 |
| `Promise<unknown>` | 16 | 5 |
| `expect(` | 128 | 113 |

No hunk removes more `expect(` calls than it adds. Three removals of
test content were intentional, and I checked each one:

- `muse-control` removed `signalToken`. Line 1012 already asserts that
it is absent.
- `merged-pr-confirmation-sweep` removed legacy aliases. Other tests
cover them.
- `heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment` removed a `finalize` branch
that no test row can reach.

Some partial fixtures stay unchecked through `as unknown as` and
`Promise<unknown>`, mostly in `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`
and `issue-comment-reopen-routes`.

**Accuracy of the check.** One program over the tree and the three
shards reported the same errors at the same positions. Memory, as the
peak of the largest process on one thread, was 3.93 GiB for one program
and 2.43 GiB for the largest shard. I measured these two values before
the fixes.

Not run or not proven:

- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, or a root `pnpm build`. I
expect CI to run the full suites.
- I did not run the 4 GiB container check, or the full
`scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. The peaks above come from macOS, so
they are not a Linux cgroup measurement.
- I did not run the UI typecheck after the merges.
- `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise` is skipped, so its `cleanup`
fix did not run.

## Risks

- **A large diff in test files.** 328 files change. A pull request that
edits the same tests can get merge conflicts. New tests on master can
also add type errors before this merges. Any such error fails this check
and needs a fix here.
- **A higher cost for changes to source types.** A change to a type can
add errors in test files that the author did not touch. The author must
then fix them. This is the purpose of the check, but it is new work.
- **Changed test behavior.** Some tests now run paths that they did not
run before, such as the 9 chat wizard fixtures and the 3 span tests.
They pass here, but they can be more sensitive to timing or to the
environment.
- **The Daytona stub can go stale.** The stub is written by hand. If the
plugin uses a new SDK member, the typecheck reports an error until
someone updates the stub.
- **The release path.** `release-verify.yml` and `scripts/release.sh`
run `pnpm -r typecheck`, so they now run this check.
- **The tsconfig change.** The test transform reads
`server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. The options that I changed are for
type checks, and the runs above passed.
- **A gap that remains.** Tsconfigs in `packages/paperclip-runner` and
in most sandbox provider plugins exclude `*.test.ts`. This check does
not read most of those test files, so they can still drift. That work is
separate from this pull request.

DottaandPaperclip 556daf9a99 feat(dot): run cloud assignments in managed sandboxes (#15691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and governs their work.
> - The Runner owns execution and task authority.
> - Dot executes at OpenAI and uses Paperclip through MCP.
> - Dot previously required a self-hosted controller.
> - Cloud must admit Dot work in a managed sandbox and keep protocol
traffic in the tenant.
> - This pull request adds managed Dot execution and dedicated pairing
routes.
> - The same Runner path can later host sandboxed workspace tools.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Agent or provider**

OpenAI Dot, through the existing dedicated MCP adapter. Related changes:
#15402, #15414, and #15581.

**Why this adapter is useful**

Cloud users need to assign work to Dot and let Dot request work while
idle. Neither path should execute agent commands on the control-plane
host or require an idle sandbox.

**How the agent is invoked**

The tenant serves OAuth, signed mailbox events, and scoped tools. Normal
admission creates a managed sandbox for each assignment. A verified Rust
Runner owns that assignment and relays its tools and results.

## What Changed

- Enable the external-agent invitation in Cloud behind the standalone
Dot flag.
- Launch Dot through the existing managed process launcher and
authenticated PRP transport.
- Verify the artifact digest and Dot capability before dispatch. Read
provider checkpoints from the execution target for recovery.
- Reject local execution in Cloud and reject managed workspace access
for this release.
- Add dedicated public Dot pairing aliases. Preserve the personal
assistant consent paths.
- Keep Dot events in the tenant when a personal Cloud broker is
configured.
- Use the app-configured heartbeat for Dot-initiated work. Report
terminal admission failures and fence stranded offers before new
admission.
- Offer normal comments through the active assignment's mailbox. Keep
their wakes deferred until a successful history receipt contains the
exact IDs; preserve unread comments through finish, batching and
recovery without replaying consumed input.
- Require a sandbox process fingerprint before dispatch and allow a
bounded five-minute controller reconnect gap. Preserve remote process
birth without inspecting a colliding controller PID.
- Recognize authenticated remote shutdown receipts even without an OS
exit code.
- Document dedicated pairing aliases and teach route coverage to inspect
literal path arrays.
- Add opt-in private Daytona qualification and focused contract tests.

## Verification

- Workspace typecheck, production build, and UI token gates passed.
- Focused onboarding, OAuth, managed environment, artifact metadata, and
terminal-fence tests passed. One environment-test timeout passed on an
isolated repeat.
- A private Daytona fixture passed with the real Rust Runner, signed
readiness, assigned app tools, document writes, duplicate receipts,
authority fences, completion, and sandbox deletion.
- A real OpenAI Dot completed both an operator-assigned task and a
Dot-initiated task in managed Daytona sandboxes. Both leases were
released.
- A real accepted Dot assignment survived a controller gap longer than
one minute with the same sandbox process, Runner, session, and
assignment. Dot consumed the normal task-comment follow-up and completed
exactly once; the lease was released.
- A real cancellation fenced an accepted assignment, released its lease,
and received Dot's acknowledgement without claiming a global provider
stop.
- Final local checks: 74 Dot execution, OAuth onboarding and API
contract tests after integrating the current agent-lifecycle changes, 9
real Rust driver tests, 21 remote-runtime tests plus the 3
detached-process cleanup tests, and 17 lifecycle tests passed. The final
live Daytona fixture passed and deleted its sandbox.
- A final real Dot follow-up stayed pending until its exact comment
appeared in a successful history receipt. Dot completed the original
managed assignment once; its lease was released.
- The broad local suite crossed a rebase and was stopped; its failures
are not a qualification of this final source. Focused repeats passed.
The final head passed all CI gates: workspace types, build, general and
serialized test suites, Rust and Runner verification, all browser
shards, and the canary dry run. Greptile is 5/5 with both findings
resolved.

## Risks

- Deploy the tenant app with its current Linux Runner artifact and the
corresponding front-door protocol routes together.
- This branch has not been deployed to a Cloud tenant. A deployed tenant
still needs an OAuth and assignment smoke test.
- Dot provider usage and cost are unmetered. Revocation fences Paperclip
tools and does not prove a global OpenAI stop.
- Missing or changed recovery identity fails closed. No replacement Dot
thread is invented.
- No schema migration is added. Managed Dot workspace access remains
unavailable.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, code execution,
and browser testing. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.
