DottaandPaperclip 519b345d69 fix(ui): expose governed retained-file recovery (#18848)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The control plane must preserve saved work before it admits another
attempt.
> - Retained-file recovery already has an authorized API and a bounded
worker.
> - The task UI hid that operation when workspace repair blocked
execution.
> - The run inspector could check source identity but could not request
preservation.
> - This pull request exposes that existing operation with its exact
source binding.
> - The worker still owns file verification, stop receipts, and
execution release.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18678 and #18803 for the existing retained-source and continuation
contracts.

**What happened?**

A failed native run could leave an active, system-owned export recovery
action. The task showed a generic Retry control. Its workspace repair
gate correctly refused another provider turn. The run inspector offered
only read-only source inspection. The authorized file-preservation API
had no production UI caller.

**Expected behavior**

An authorized board operator can request preservation of the exact
retained files. The UI keeps the repair hold until the server records
verified preservation. A lost response must keep the same request
identity.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use an active retained-export action whose workspace recovery is
blocked and retryable.
2. Open its source task while `workspaceRepairRequired` is true.
3. Open the exact failed run and inspect recovery.
4. Before this change, neither surface can request the existing
file-preservation operation.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The focused regression fails on master
`1f55073f96b2485f49f98ee8c261aa14ec2f79ac` before the production UI
edits.

I checked the roadmap and searched open public PRs for this UI repair.
No duplicate was found. This is a repair to the existing recovery
capability.

## What Changed

- Add Recover saved files to the existing task recovery area and
exact-run inspector. Reuse the current board task-mutation access check
and the existing `recoverWorkspace` API.
- Read the exact action, run, company, task, and source observation
again before sending. Refuse changed, retired, foreign, unverified, or
non-retryable sources.
- Save one account-scoped request before POST. Keep its key through a
lost response and reload. Reconcile with GET before an explicit resend.
Use a new key only after an explicit click and a fresh, confirmed
exhausted attempt; do not resend automatically.
- Show queued, recovering, blocked, and verified receipt states
separately. A request acknowledgement does not mark files saved or
resolve the task hold. Hide generic Retry for native export holds. Keep
the existing Retry path for legacy restoration.
- Cover both mounted surfaces and negative access, source, account,
persistence, duplicate-click, and lost-response cases. Update the
existing design guidance and correct the affected run-detail recipe
only.

## Verification

- RED: the new component regression fails with `missing Recover saved
files` before production changes. The original failure is retained.
- GREEN: 265 tests pass across
`WorkspaceExportRecovery.control.test.tsx`,
`WorkspaceExportRecovery.test.tsx`,
`RunWorkspaceRecoverySurface.test.tsx`, and the full
`IssueDetail.test.tsx` suite.
- Review RED/GREEN: the prior UI reused the failed key after a confirmed
exhausted attempt. A focused regression now proves a different key for
an explicit new attempt, while the lost-response controls still prove
key reuse. Mounted task controls prove that verified native preservation
stays available, unverified or stale native sources never offer generic
Retry, and viewers cannot mutate. A separate RED against the exact prior
UI proves the lost legacy control. Its GREEN clicks the existing legacy
Retry API while the workspace hold remains active.
- Full UI TypeScript check passes: `node scripts/run-tsc.mjs -p
ui/tsconfig.json --noEmit`.
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`,
and `git diff --check` pass. The map check proves structure only.
- One early legacy test probe used an unsigned fixture and a readonly
array; those setup failures are retained. The corrected same-user
fixture proves the source RED and GREEN. The first test command used an
unnamed project filter and stopped before loading tests. The corrected
package configuration produced the recorded RED. One initial storage
fault probe did not intercept jsdom's storage method; the corrected
prototype fault proves that unavailable storage sends no POST.
- Dependencies use Node 24.22.2 and a frozen pnpm 9.15.4 install with
scripts disabled. The maintained shared and SDK prerequisite builds pass
on this base. No dependency or lockfile changes are included.
- A later Paperclip Review follow-up found the plain-HTTP UUID gap. Its
focused regression fails before POST with the prior direct call, then
passes with the existing UUID helper. The same storage, lost-response,
retry and source controls remain green.
- Original full CI `41715060582` fails two Cloud-auth task-entry browser
checks at their existing heading assertion. The retained original
artifacts show a late task pane (one already contains the heading; one
still shows Loading conversation). The cause remains unproven. No auth,
fixture, timeout or assertion change is included. Fresh Greptile is 5/5
with zero open threads and Paperclip Review passes on the UUID fix head.
Current full CI `41720068249` attempt 1 failed. Three workers were
terminated by AWS Spot capacity loss. The CLI startup and dense-ZIP
checks also timed out at their unchanged deadlines. The CLI/shared input
trees match a previous passing CI job, and the dense-ZIP case passes one
focused local check. The CLI timeout cause remains unknown. The
coordinator requested one bounded recheck. Attempt 2 succeeds on the
same source, with all current checks green. No source, fixture, timeout
or assertion changed for that recheck. The worker issued no retry. This
pass does not establish the original CLI timeout cause.
- Full recursive typecheck, repository tests, and application build were
not run locally under the bounded UI verification scope. Full CI is
requested.
- No live preservation request, provider turn, deployment, or sandbox
cleanup was performed for this repair. Original saved-file recovery
remains unverified until rollout and real acceptance.

## Risks

The client access check is a display guard. The existing server
authorization and physical source, ownership, stop, and snapshot checks
remain authoritative. Unavailable browser storage blocks the request
before POST. A failed acknowledgement retains the request for its owner.
The UI never calls task Retry, recovery resolution, reconstruction,
provider execution, or destructive cleanup. The existing worker retains
its bounded recovery policy and may finish the saved result after real
preservation.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code editing,
and test execution. The exact runtime model ID and context-window size
are not exposed to this agent.

DottaandPaperclip 1f55073f96 fix(cursor-cloud): support API-only controllers on managed stacks (#18310)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Cursor Cloud hosts execution behind its API.
> - Product setup still expected a Paperclip Computer.
> - Managed-only tenants therefore rejected valid setup.
> - This admits the validated API-owned controller.
> - Authority, Stop proof, budgets and cleanup remain enforced.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #18068 and #18069; both dependencies have merged.

**What happened?**

Managed-only setup still requested a Computer. Live tests exposed
missing Cursor Stop proof and duplicate replay.

**Expected behavior**

Use Cursor’s API controller. Verify provider/controller termination and
replay each log identity once.

**Steps to reproduce**

Enable native Runner/managed-only. Configure Cursor model/repository/key
without a Computer, then Test, finish setup, run and Stop.

## What Changed

- Derive API-only placement from validated native Cursor configuration;
reject placement/command/workspace/home overrides and keep
Kubernetes-only execution closed.
- Skip Computers/checkout/workspace realization. Keep scoped tools,
completion, private staging, budgets, leases and recovery. Persist
placement; reject contradictions.
- Align Cloud cards, Test, Save and Finish setup; hold unready drafts.
Legacy keeps its Computer, credential and policy checks.
- Verify Stop from exact API ownership, audited intent,
provider-terminal proof, no Computer/process ownership and controller
retirement. Recheck immediate/deferred retirement; wake existing
recovery on durable evidence.
- Clear warnings when the actual stopped target later has authoritative
confirmation. Keep missing/other-run negatives and the existing
predicate.
- Publish safe status refresh after full-proof ACK. Retain bounded
native/physical cancellation history; add no poller or weaker proof
path.

## Verification

Core merged as `3910352c923a`; Product merged as `27d35314be8e`. Public
branch `5f86eb66b081` has tree `67344151d303`. Its exact-head Greptile
summary is 5/5; the fresh audit found zero unresolved threads and
complete pagination. The controlled workspace retry and required summary
passed. All 59 current-head contexts are terminal and clean. Prior
green-36 evidence keeps its identity.

[Current
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41680511731)
first failed workspaces-a 1/2: the CLI company-import/export beforeAll
30-second runtime-info/child-PID/HTTP readiness wait expired. All 431 UI
files/4,714 tests and 285 other CLI tests passed (one skip). The cause
remains UNKNOWN. Child output records startup recovery complete, but
buffered CI prefixes do not establish its relation to the waiter
deadline; runtime-file/PID/last-health state was not captured. Both
unchanged local probes were RED. The second observed dependency
preflight still pending at the deadline; observer overhead was not
quantified. Neither proves the CI cause. After all functional jobs
finished, only the queued metadata summary was cancelled; the other 48
records stayed unchanged. Attempt 1 retains 46 successes, the original
failure, one skip and the cancelled summary. One same-head debug retry
was admitted at 18:42 UTC on November 3. Its workspace job passed at
19:23 UTC on the same checkout: UI 431 files/4,714 tests and CLI 33
files/286 tests, including company import/export. Test caching was
disabled. The new `ci / verify` summary passed; workflow attempt 2
completed SUCCESS. Required `ci / e2e` also passed. The final check at
19:53 UTC on November 3 found all 59 current-head contexts terminal and
clean: zero pending and zero failing. The 47 inherited completed/skipped
rows are not new executions. No code, assertion or timeout changed;
success does not explain the original failure or erase the local REDs.

CI checkout is `1ea9d8608ced`/tree `78cb1ec13d59` (parents
`2e37c73c05fe`, 5f86); both workflows use 2e37. Its 20 extra paths add
low-memory build/Rust task-memory. Scripts cohere; later matrix changes
only labels, with no newer debug-cache steps. Static audit found no
blocker. Supported API arguments omit the memory flag: no default
monitor/instruction changes. Flagged external launchers can change
Cursor instructions/digests and remain unqualified.

The merge added 41 master-identical paths, retained the green-36 inbox
hunk and found UI fixtures matching upstream. Startup/backup, recovery
projection, sleep diagnostics and binary backup change production.
Static audit found eight Stop/ACK owner blobs and 37 sleep-work SQL
templates unchanged, with sleep fences/single-flight accounting intact.
Exact precommit tree: 416/416 across eight server files, binary backup
1/1, server types PASS; repeated scopes are not summed.

The deferred-retirement P1 reproduced three real-DB/owned-process
failures; missing proof stayed unverified. Recovery passed 47 process
cases/33 proof negatives. Warning repair binds actual targets to
same-run proof. Validation passed 729 scoped UI cases, a separate
359-case thread run, 111 backend cases (84 CAS, 6 assembled, 21
activity/privacy), types/tokens. Proof validators/predicate are
unchanged; no new poller or increased timeout.

The d8d3 attempt stays FAILED: 45 passes, two workspaces-a failures,
derived verify failure and one skip. Both shards shared three failures:
two successful mocks omitted the account guard’s required userId. The
two-line fixture repair changed no guard, assertion or timeout. Three
failures reproduced; 54 access/auth tests then passed, including
account-change/denial negatives, plus UI types/tokens.

The 69285 attempt stays FAILED: 49 jobs, 46 passed, serialized shard 9
failed, its verify aggregate failed and one selection job skipped. The
shard passed 575/576 cases. Its aborted-snapshot case expected nine
computes but saw eight: a final HTTP 200 coalesced while seven ordinary
reads had not proved the aborted compute settled. Earlier CI and the
unmodified local baseline passed with a miss; no local RED is claimed.
The repair awaits the snapshot, allows exactly one extra GET if
coalesced, then requires a miss and retains nine computes/all HTTP429
assertions. No production code, hook, loop, sleep or timeout changed.
Six inbox and seven cache/admission cases passed locally, plus server
types; 30 unrelated cases were filtered. Green 36 passed 576/576 without
taking the extra-GET branch; local runs also missed that schedule.
Current CI event merge 1ea9 now passed 576/576 and naturally exercised
the former failure: coalesced (count 2, 1ms), then exactly one fresh
miss (count 1, 16ms), with strict nine-compute/HTTP429 assertions
intact. No instrumentation or retry was added.

Earlier compatibility passed scoped remote/inbox, routine, API-placement
and UI tests, plus types/migrations/snapshots/maps/tokens. The 89-path
adoption restored fleet routing without workflow overrides or added
skips. Each result retains its source identity.

Live qualification remains actual `9af1a5de42a2`: unchanged Artifact
grader PASSED 17/17 and active-Stop grader PASSED 21/21. All three
provider test resources were deleted canonically with GET404;
post-delete download returned the exact 27 bytes. Histories stayed
stable (Artifact 121 and Stop 67 canonical identities), with 21 company
runs, zero active work and no accounting/cancellation/reservation debt
or integrity findings. Saved settings reopened; no-prompt Test/Linux
admission passed with `claude-sonnet-4-5`. No new Save is claimed.

The first Stop sampling case stays FAILED on a 10.373-second gap.
Unchanged retry kept all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet, maximum gap
4.584 seconds, plus a separate CANCELLED/artifact-absent read after 180
seconds. Initial grading rejected locator spelling before functional
checks; metadata changed only after same-file/inode/byte proof, with raw
evidence/oracles unchanged. Original Question/Plan/reconnect and
historical deleted-artifact results keep their identities.

Git trees verified 11 history-only conflicts and six earlier mainline
paths. Hosted 9af to the public BRANCH differs in 222 paths; 13,500
other mode/blob leaves match. Runner runtime implementations and six
observer/driver pins match 9af on that branch only; inherited
`drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts` differs. No all-Runner/src,
CI/latest-master runtime or image equality is claimed. Later static
audits through `8ab89f41e499` found no concrete API-only blocker. That
base adds completed-history sleep proofs and an MCP cleanup migration;
protected Stop/ACK owners are unchanged. These later changes are outside
this CI and have no live qualification here. Host duplicate-card and
later recovery/UI repairs retain separate proof, not deployed 9af
identity. Direct-key coverage requires absent aiConnection; API-only
placement skips inherited remote-workspace disk-full paths, and
config-read gates match their parent.

Other retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87
reset-hook failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips;
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion unknown causes and bounded
recoveries; superseded warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK/Core CI failures. Fixture RED/GREEN passed 7/7 browser and 121/121
shutdown tests with a failing broken-unsubscribe control; stable WSP
wrapper passed 128 after physical teardown failure. No full local-suite
pass is inferred. All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost
is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and behavior checked live; unpriced provider dollar cost
stays UNKNOWN.

The placement exception applies only to validated native Cursor API
execution. Other local work remains denied under managed-only policy.
Missing/stale Stop or cleanup proof stays pending; damaged archives
remain failed. Explicit Legacy keeps its existing policy owners.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex/GPT-6 family: tools, execution, browser checks, delegated
review. API ID/context window unavailable.

DottaandPaperclip 27d35314be feat: connect experimental Cursor Cloud to native Runner (#18069)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents at work.
> - Native Runner owns execution and task authority.
> - Operators need an explicit native Cursor Cloud choice.
> - Tools/files need company, task, session and run scope.
> - This connects setup and lifecycle to Runner Core.
> - Legacy agents retain their selected runtime/history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Depends on #18068. Managed-only API placement and API-owned Stop
containment are in #18310. Refs #5664, #11803, #17299, and #17471. No
duplicate native integration was found.

## What Changed

- Add explicit native setup, Test, saved settings and dispatch with
no-prompt account/catalog/callback checks.
- Scope MCP to company, agent, task, session and run through
authenticated HTTPS. Register verified artifacts/work products; preserve
unpriced accounting, completion and budgets.
- Connect Question/Plan continuation, cold handoff and admitted fresh
sessions; recheck waiting admission under the task lock.
- Present audited Stop intent while preserving physical containment
proof; bound typed Stop metadata. Preserve title edits through
preference/navigation readiness.
- Select one live/history representation per run to prevent duplicate
settled cards. Integrate upstream task/read-state/retry/schema contracts
and repair two test fixtures.

## Verification

Core #18068 merged normally as `3910352c923a`. Product head
`5a60f541c982` has passing repository CI/build/browser checks, including
required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`, plus a fresh exact-head Greptile
5/5 review with zero unresolved threads. Two non-required external app
checks remain pending: Paperclip Review is queued waiting for its
assigned agent; Superagent Security Scan is reviewing the diff. These
are not claimed completed. The normal merge endpoint enforces the
repository rules; no policy or status override is used. The dependent
Top PR is addressing its fresh deferred-Stop review finding.

Product `5a60f541c982` passed 270 UI and 20 selected
Cloud/native/disk-full tests, UI/server typechecks, tokens and maps.
Top’s clean normal merge passed tokens/maps/diff checks; its matrix is
pending. Earlier receipts retain Core’s 47 Rust, 4 compiled-native
retirement and 19 settlement controls, normal Runner build, and runtime
9af build/recursive typecheck. Reproduced loading/shutdown CI fixture
failures passed 7/7 browser and 121/121 unit tests, including a
broken-unsubscribe negative control. No timeout/oracle was relaxed.

The actual-parent restack adopts 75 mainline paths, including
schema/permission and generic runtime changes, beyond the prior two
fixture repairs and client projection fix. The full difference from
hosted `9af1a5de42a2` is therefore larger than four files; backend
source also differs. The merged config-read checks match Core391, and
the Cursor placement/runtime/relay/selection modules match frozen9af;
selected affected regressions pass. Paid proof keeps its actual 9af
source/image identity. The separately tested live/history card fix is
not claimed deployed on that host.

On 9af, original saved settings survived reopening and fresh no-prompt
Test authenticated catalog/model/binding; no new Save is claimed. Fresh
Linux admission passed. With `claude-sonnet-4-5`, Artifact downloaded
exact 27 bytes and matched 121 canonical identities in complete
S3-served history. First Stop’s strict quiet FAILED on a 10.373-second
gap despite independent cancellation/no late artifact. One targeted
unchanged-sampler retry retained all 24 samples: 35.076 seconds quiet /
maximum gap 4.584 seconds, 67 ordered canonical identities, and separate
CANCELLED/artifact-absent status after the original 180-second deadline.
The pre-reload duplicate settled card is disclosed. Exact-ID cleanup for
the three new provider agents is awaiting authorization, so full grades
and the fresh Artifact’s post-cleanup download remain blocked. A
historical deleted-provider artifact was newly downloaded on 9af;
original F226 Question/Plan/reconnect and cleanup proof keep their
identities.

Retained failures: stale fixture 132/133; E8 48/135 with 87 reset-hook
failures; Mac 17 SQL failures/skips; earlier
title/startup/custody/Stop/deletion failures with unknown causes/bounded
recoveries; `dea023` Stop’s warning/50 duplicate identities; pre-repair
ACK and original Core CI failures. WSP’s 251-assertion, 7/8-suite
attempt failed physical PostgreSQL teardown; the unchanged wrapper rerun
passed 128. Retry alone establishes no cause or full local-suite pass.
All paid attempts remain recorded; vendor dollar cost is UNKNOWN.

## Risks

Experimental: Cursor independently acknowledges neither the effective
model nor instruction digest before the first prompt. Explicit values
are submitted and checked through behavior; unpriced provider dollar
cost stays UNKNOWN.

Callbacks need authenticated reachable HTTPS. Scope, revocation,
budgets, completion and cleanup remain authoritative. Operator Stop
intent is separate from physical containment. Saved legacy agents retain
their selected runtime. Prior shared title-save/deletion failures remain
disclosed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, browser verification, and delegated code review. The
serving model’s exact API ID and context window are not exposed. No
value is inferred from the model catalog.

DottaandPaperclip 44a9a043b8 fix(ui): make the full chat agent selector clickable (#18708)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat gives each person a standing conversation with an agent.
> - The Coordinator chat header shows an agent avatar, name, and caret.
> - Only the caret opened the agent picker. The avatar and name were
separate text.
> - This pull request puts all three parts in one button that opens the
existing picker.
> - The benefit is a larger click target with one keyboard focus stop.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

In Coordinator Chat, the caret opened the agent picker. The agent avatar
and name did not open it.

**Expected behavior**

The avatar, name, and caret must form one control. Each part must open
the same picker.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the personal Coordinator workspace and open an agent chat.
2. Click the agent avatar or name in the header.
3. Compare the result with a click on the caret.

## What Changed

- Put the avatar, name, and caret inside one button in
`CoordinatorAgentSwitcher`. Keep its current-page marker for screen
readers.
- Add an optional trigger to `AgentChatPicker`. The shared dialog
handles keyboard access and focus return.
- Add an optional breadcrumb control slot. The chat owns its button,
while the text label still sets the document title.
- Add regression cases for both header layouts on desktop and mobile.
Check all three click areas, Escape, focus return, and selection of
another agent.
- Add a Coordinator chat Storybook case with production components and
fixture API data. Update the feature recipe.

## Verification

- Passed 235 focused tests for `BreadcrumbBar`, `AgentChatPicker`,
`BreadcrumbContext`, and `IssueDetail`. The header cases also check the
current-page marker.
- Passed UI typecheck and UI production build.
- Passed token gates, map checks, and Storybook catalog checks. All 30
map and catalog regression tests passed.
- The new header cases failed before the change and passed after it.
- Full local typecheck could not finish because this workspace has no
`cargo` command.
- Full local build and the first UI typecheck attempt reached the 8 GB
workspace memory limit. The separate UI build and typecheck passed. The
full local test run was stopped to free memory for browser verification;
it has no complete verdict.
- Passed 18 browser checks in Chromium across desktop light, mobile
light, and desktop dark. Each case checks avatar/name/caret clicks,
Enter, Space, Escape/focus return, and selection of QAChecker. No page
render errors occurred.
- Captured six screenshots of the header and picker across these
viewports and themes. Review images remain outside the repository.
- Browser review first found stale fixture responses for recent
comments, decision receipts, chat handoffs, and ordinary-task email
state. Correct API response shapes removed those fixture render failures
before the successful review.

## Risks

- Low risk. The shared breadcrumb renderer has a new optional control
slot. Callers that omit it retain their existing rendering.
- Chat selection uses the existing picker and route. No database or API
contract changes are required.
- The Storybook API is simulated. It does not prove provider execution
or server persistence.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The runtime did not expose the exact deployed model
ID or context window. The agent used code editing, terminal checks, and
browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip f6fc336a35 fix(ui): reveal task conversations without loading layout shifts (#18545)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks combine saved messages, documents, run output, monitors, and
decisions.
> - Compact history makes long tasks load quickly.
> - The loading view still showed the real task header before the thread
scrolled to recent messages.
> - Different loading frames also changed the viewport, composer bounds,
and header typography.
> - This pull request uses one loading frame and reveals the prepared
conversation once.
> - The benefit is a stable first view without a material loading-speed
penalty.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A cold task open could show a generic skeleton, then the real title and
monitor above placeholder messages, then jump to recent content. The
loading view changed width on desktop and height on mobile. Its title
line height differed from the real title.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the loading viewport and composer in place. Prepare the initial
reading position out of view. Reveal the recent conversation once its
data, fonts, scroll position, and composer bounds settle. Cap the font
wait at three seconds if the font host does not answer.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task with a long title, long saved replies, document cards, a
monitor, and a pending decision.
2. Reload it with CPU and network throttling.
3. Watch the header appear above placeholders, then move offscreen when
the recent conversation appears.

**Paperclip version or commit**

e122478368. The synthetic baseline recorded 10 animation frames with a
real header visible before the conversation was ready.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Local production previews used the same disposable
PostgreSQL fixture and API.

Related work: #17593, #16878, #18092, and #18461 preserve compact
startup and saved-card behavior. Older open PR #14667 addressed
transcript reveal and reading anchors; this change targets the remaining
loading-frame transition on current master.

## What Changed

- Prepare task data while the personal layout preference loads. Keep the
temporary page hidden until the correct layout is known. This removes a
12 px mobile header change.
- Share one matching loading frame across task metadata and history
preparation. Use the real composer surface and dock geometry for its
placeholder.
- Keep the real title and monitor concealed until the viewport, scroll
position, composer, and fonts settle. Bound a stalled font request to
three seconds.
- Reserve the final chat viewport and breadcrumb identifier position.
Mount task properties after the personal preference resolves.
- Match the loading title typography to the selected task interface,
including Classic.
- Add normal-CI browser coverage for rich tasks, Classic startup and
typography, mobile layout selection, and stalled fonts. Preserve the
outage recovery assertions.
- Add Design Guide examples and an optional retained fixture with 200
long messages, documents, a PR card, a monitor, and a pending
confirmation. Disable both interval and on-demand agent wakes in this
fixture.

## Verification

- Final UI source: `8398af3493`. The later commits change tests or merge
master. The recorded production build is `99867e2dc3`; its UI source is
identical to the final PR head.
- All 10,263 UI tests pass: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest
run`. Workspace typecheck and the full production build pass. Token
gates, module boundaries, map validation, and diff checks pass.
- Task browser checks pass 40 cases. Shared chat passes 22 cases. The
normal-CI loading and outage recovery suite passes all 13 cases on the
final head.
- The eight rich loading cases cover direct and list entry, delayed
fonts, and delayed personal preferences on desktop and mobile. At 4× CPU
slowdown and 80 ms latency, each records zero real-header frames before
reveal. Loading-frame, composer, and initial reading-position movement
are 0 px. Title typography matches.
- The normal browser suite also verifies that unresolved mobile layouts
stay hidden, the selected mobile viewport stays fixed, and a seeded
Classic loading title matches the resolved title after an uncached
reload.
- Cold speed: five fresh contexts per variant and viewport, alternating
before/after order. Same local API and synthetic fixture; 4× CPU
slowdown, 80 ms latency, 1.18 MB/s download. No interception,
recordings, builds, or test suites during measurement. Desktop median:
3578 ms before, 3572 ms after. Mobile median: 3500 ms before, 3476 ms
after. Sample ranges overlap.
- The unmodified baseline records 10 real-header frames before
readiness. The final eight-case matrix records zero. Local recordings
and failed prototype evidence are retained outside the repository. No
private staging content is published in this PR.
- CI initially counted hidden zero-size elements as visible frames. Its
saved data confirms the `(0, 0, 0, 0)` entries. Both browser samplers
now ignore those entries and retain all visible geometry checks. The
corrected local suite passes.
- The default `pnpm test:run` command stopped in the unchanged server
chat integration shard with `No test found ... in lines ...` and 1817
skipped tests. This is not a local full-suite pass. One unchanged
AgentActionButtons test also failed during a concurrent run; all 37
cases pass in isolation, and the full 10,263-test UI rerun passes
without source changes to that component.
- Final-head [CI
passes](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41320240728)
at `d1ef4a955f`. No checks are failed or pending. Greptile and Ponytail
Paperclip Review both report 5/5 for that exact head. All review threads
are resolved.
- The fix is not deployed to staging.

## Risks

- First reveal waits for stable geometry and fonts, with a three-second
font cap. A font that arrives after this degraded-mode cap can still
change text metrics. The existing history deadline still exposes usable
content if another dependency stalls.
- The loading frame cannot predict arbitrary conversation content. The
real content remains concealed until its initial position is ready.
- The shared thread also serves agent chat. Its browser startup and
scroll journeys are included in final verification.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, tool use, code execution, and
browser inspection. The host did not expose a more specific model ID or
the context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 322fa6b65c fix(ui): restore task document authoring and add persistence journey (#18356)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Task documents keep versioned work beside each conversation.
> - The default chat interface could read general documents but hid
their editor.
> - People also need unfinished edits to survive a tab switch or reload.
> - This pull request restores the shared editor in Artifacts.
> - A portable browser journey checks exact saved content and revision
history.
> - The benefit is a usable document flow with independent deployment
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A person using the default task interface could read a general task
document but could not create or edit one. The existing editor was
available in Classic mode. A pending create could also leave newer text
as a new form after its editor unmounted, causing a conflict against the
person's own successful creation.

**Expected behavior**

A person can create and edit general documents through Artifacts.
Titles, bodies and revision history persist after reopening and
reloading the task. Unfinished text survives tab switches. A successful
create makes retained newer text an edit of that confirmed revision.
Later writes from another actor still cause a conflict.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open an ordinary task in the default chat interface, then open
Artifacts.
2. Try to create a general document. The previous interface has no
authoring control.
3. With authoring restored, submit a new document, keep typing, and
switch to Properties before the request finishes.
4. Reopen Artifacts. The previous draft path restores a new form despite
the successful create.

Related public work: #17598 adds document copy/download and #18157 adds
image galleries. The selected actual merged parent is
`f1d780838218f975064f38333946805e0ec103a5` from #18427. It includes the
stable profile-entry ordering repair and the exact recovery-fixture
prerequisite. The resulting PR diff contains 32 document and reporting
files.

## What Changed

- Reuse `IssueDocumentsSection` for general documents in default-chat
Artifacts. Keep Classic authoring in its existing task body. Ordinary
tasks, conversations and Coordinator mode share the same editor options
and signed-in permission wrapper.
- Preserve Plans, file-review documents, attachments, uploads and work
products. Hide duplicate general-document cards. Use the same
general-document key rules for visible rows, validation and refused
writes.
- Forward image uploads, mentions, references, author maps and feedback
to both editor mounts. Keep empty mention/project values stable while
queries load.
- Back up unfinished forms within their signed-in account, task and
editor scope. Preserve text entered before its key. Record a successful
create on its matching retained newer buffer, including after unmount or
an early reopen. Preserve newer title/body edits, real remote conflicts
and matching cancellation cleanup.
- Add the model-free `task-document-persistence` journey. Setup creates
only an owned empty backlog task. The browser creates and edits the
document; normal APIs independently check company, task, actor, exact
content and both revision records.
- Reopen the owned task through the explicit Backlog view, then reload
it. Require exact UI readback and zero native runs. Add only the Doc
registration, definition-hash inputs, report mapping and four closed
checks to the shared harness.
- Count explicit zero-run browser receipts after private journey
metadata is removed for publication. Preserve missing billing evidence,
positive usage and native/protocol accounting.
- Update browser assertions for the restored inline editor while
retaining exact download bytes, revision collisions, paused-state and
no-run checks. Update the feature map, usage docs and shared editor
stories.

## Verification

- Latest focused checks use official Node 24.22.2: 568 journey, catalog,
report, billing and attempt-accounting tests across 25 suites pass. All
four admitted journeys remain registered. The seven relevant UI suites
pass 529 tests, including the task-page container after the parent
merge. Maps, token gates, the PR-scope diff check and the owned
credential-pattern scan pass. The normal QA import preflight also passes
with an empty environment and network access blocked.
- Billing regression: before the repair, the explicit empty public
receipt counted one run, and two positive-usage receipts were discarded
by browser metadata. Those three cases fail before and pass after the
repair. Two additional red regressions cover aggregate usage beside an
empty run list. That ambiguous shape now keeps an unavailable receipt
and a minimum count of one. Missing receipts retain unavailable billing,
and native/protocol one-or-more run totals retain their measurements.
- The previous fresh CI run failed its unchanged snapshot-only recovery
fixture: one global sweep did not call its callback. The original
failure remains recorded. An isolated PGlite probe with all canonical
migrations exercises the real reconciler: it processes two earlier
sources, then reaches the owned third source on the next sweep. It
preserves source evidence, files and run IDs. This proves bounded
pagination, not full native snapshot repair.
- Local native recovery tests could not start PostgreSQL because the
host semaphore limit was reached. That run executed zero cases.
Canonical Linux CI later passed all 143 fixture cases, including the
original snapshot-only case and the new competing-candidate control. The
exact fixture repair is now inherited from #18427 and is absent from
this PR diff.
- The portable oracle rejects 19 stale, missing, foreign or incorrect
outcomes. Result validation also rejects model/provider metadata and
native runs for this case.
- Five real Artifacts-to-Properties unmount regressions fail before the
repair and pass after it. They cover both editor modes, reopening before
and after completion, later typing, and a foreign revision that must
still conflict. The edit-storage failure case also checks that Cancel
clears the promoted fallback copy.
- UI coverage includes default chat, Classic, conversations,
Coordinator, Plan rendering, document-card deduplication, reserved keys,
pending-query stability, permissions and rich editor options.
- Earlier real browser checks passed five upload cases and two
artifact-arrival cases. They retain exact CSV bytes, original/revised
content, collision, paused-state and no-run assertions. Current-head
normal CI runs the updated browser suites again.
- The branch merges only the selected actual parent
`f1d780838218f975064f38333946805e0ec103a5`. The merge has no conflicts
or manual resolution. The SQL service and recovery fixture match that
parent exactly. The own document editor, persistence flow, saved-state
oracle and billing repair retain their previously qualified source
blobs. Follow-up, clarification, question/resumption, screenshot helpers
and the Steering map are byte-identical to the merged parent. Existing
project/search/question/follow-up registrations remain present.
- Required document source blobs remain exact: Doc UI
`22e80663b053363e5f75e1432dd9043dc0e70243`, its unmount tests
`16f3f4ed0dc9b11aaff129e06e6cf2bbf4522713`, readiness helper
`800a747284db19b8484650b6759e8bd1f356839d`, and budget service
`3a15d489f0aa55c22e8f7fe6a6bc6a0e14e5914e`.
- Local typing is limited by borrowed declarations from another
checkout. They omit current `skill_test` and sandbox creation-operation
fields. No dependency declarations or repository config were changed.
The authoritative clean CI Typecheck + Release Registry gate passes on
exact head `2ffce29827ae170420d740940c1c069c7225a74c`.
- Full monorepo typecheck, tests and build were not run locally.
Borrowed build declarations from another checkout limit local typing.
Authoritative [clean
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41171717008)
passes on exact head `82d15946c5844d3ae41c6ade62fa224053f20a9a`: 55
successful checks, 3 skipped and 1 neutral, with zero pending or failed
checks. Typecheck, build, Runner, server and browser lanes pass.
Greptile gives that same head a fresh 5/5. All 15 review threads are
resolved, with no further thread page. The PR is mergeable and clean.
- Failure history remains recorded. The earlier recovery failure was
repaired with a bounded, owned-source fixture. A later CI worker shut
down after 2,375 Runner unit tests passed. Its one authorized narrow
retry passed those tests and all five native integration suites. The
separate AgentConfig browser failure was reproduced and fixed by the
merged #18427 parent. These earlier passes do not replace current-head
CI.
- Final-source live qualification passed on exact harness and served
application `82d15946c5844d3ae41c6ade62fa224053f20a9a`. QA run
`41177696858` completed all four closed checks and all five phases with
zero native runs. Cleanup passed; the durable manifest is complete with
no pending evidence. The coordinator verified the original grade and
manifest.
- The [public qualification
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/evals-qa-smoke-41177696858-1/)
records zero agent runs, empty run IDs and empty run usage. Pricing
remains unavailable and billing remains incomplete; the report does not
claim measured zero cost.
- The earlier harness `36c8d9ddd76d0b7ddb28a9a6c674d9e538f6df88` pass
against application `2ffce29827ae170420d740940c1c069c7225a74c` remains
historical evidence. It is separate from the final-source measurement
above.
- The selected parent brings profile-entry ordering, proactive chat, a
database migration, Runner updates, and task-page chat/read behavior.
Its new task-page container is included in the final application
measurement. The coordinator retains the original evidence and owns the
primary merge and daily-plan admission.

## Risks

Artifacts now mounts the existing shared editor. Its autosave, conflict,
revision, annotation and server access contracts remain in place. Tests
cover both interface modes, shared scopes, later remote writes and
unavailable edit storage. Plans and generated file-review documents keep
their existing flows. The PR adds no database schema or API change. The
shared billing repair requires explicit captured empty run IDs and an
unambiguous usage object containing only an empty run list for public
browser-only receipts. Other fields beside an empty list keep
conservative unavailable billing. Missing measurements remain
unavailable. Contradicting positive usage remains counted. The inherited
recovery fixture keeps the production sweep limit and its source,
readback and no-agent-work assertions.

The live journey must fail when authoring controls or saved outcomes are
absent. It must not create the expected document through setup APIs or
switch to another interface to pass. Final deployment verification must
retain the actual app and harness revisions separately.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with tool use and code execution. The
exact runtime model ID and context window were not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip 909e29dd07 fix(ui): show agent-created subtasks inline in the task feed (#18320)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task feed shows agent messages, documents, and artifacts.
> - An agent can create a subtask or a separate follow-up task during
that work.
> - The reader must open the Tasks tab to find the new task.
> - This pull request adds a linked task card to the source feed at
creation time.
> - The card shows the current title, task number, and status.
> - The reader can inspect delegated work without searching a second
panel.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Task creation visibility in the source task feed. Related work: #13823
added ancestor navigation in the Tasks panel.

**Current behavior**

Agent-created child tasks appear in the Tasks tab. The main feed has no
persistent link card for those tasks.

**Proposed behavior**

Show each agent-created direct child or source-linked follow-up task
once in the feed. Keep the card at creation time when status changes.
Keep existing chat handoff and accepted suggestion cards without
duplicates.

**Reason and benefit**

Readers can see which work an agent created and open that task from the
conversation.

**Breaking changes**

None. This change uses existing authorized task reads. It does not add
API or database fields.

## What Changed

- Pass the existing child and source-task reads from task detail to the
feed.
- Add a task card with a link, wrapping title, task number, and status
badge. Use existing design tokens.
- Suppress repeated cards and tasks already shown by accepted
suggestions or chat handoffs.
- Show task-read failures with Retry. Keep the conversation readable
during those failures.
- Add feed and page regression cases plus desktop, multiple-task, dark,
and mobile stories. Update the product description and delegation
recipe.
- Keep task selection and rendering in the task feed module. Existing
issue APIs continue to own access checks and company scope.

## Verification

- Passed: 224 focused tests with `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.task-creation-order.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
ui/src/components/task-detail/TaskDetailTasksPanel.test.tsx
--maxWorkers=1`.
- Passed: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`.
- Passed: `pnpm check:token-gates`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, and
`node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs`.
- Cases cover creation order, current status, links, company filtering,
direct children versus grandchildren, duplicate suppression, and read
failure with retry.
- Passed: browser render and link assertions for desktop, multiple
tasks, dark theme, and mobile at 390px. All four story play phases
finished. No page errors or horizontal overflow occurred. Screenshots
use fixture task data and the production task feed. They do not prove
server persistence or agent execution.
- Passed: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` after the concurrent
memory failure.
- The mobile preview frame needed spacing to contain the feed scrollbar
gutter. Fixed the frame and repeated the browser checks.
- Addressed the first Greptile finding: source-linked follow-ups now
load with Streamlined UI off. A regression test covers that setting.
- Full local build and typecheck cannot complete because Cargo is
absent. The first concurrent UI build and UI typecheck were killed by
the workspace memory limit. Both UI commands passed when run separately.
The full local test run was stopped to fit that limit. PR CI must supply
the full-suite verdict.

## Risks

- Low risk. Delayed task reads can insert an older card into a loaded
feed. Stable task IDs preserve the card during status updates.
- New cards use the same access-checked task data as the Tasks panel. No
task mutation or permission change is added.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The runtime does not expose a more specific model
ID or context size. Used reasoning, tool calls, code edits, tests, and
browser automation.

DottaandPaperclip 8ff812cdde feat(chat): deliver proactive task messages to agent chats (#18374)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat gives each person a persistent conversation with each
agent.
> - Tasks and routines produce results outside that conversation.
> - Those runs need a safe way to bring a requested result back to the
person.
> - The server must select the agent's own chat and check the source
task's access rules.
> - This pull request adds proactive chat messages and unread
indicators.
> - People can see the result, open its source task, and reply in the
same chat.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server, native runner tools, shared contracts, database, and UI.

**Problem or motivation**

An agent can report progress on a task or comment on an authorized task.
It cannot send a routine result to its own standing chat with the
responsible person. A morning review routine therefore cannot leave a
visible digest in that person's chat.

**Proposed solution**

Add `send_chat_message({body, idempotencyKey})` and `POST
/api/agents/me/chat/messages`. The server selects the company, agent,
and responsible person from the active run. It saves an attributed
comment and audit record in one transaction. The chat shows a
source-task link and per-person unread state.

**Alternatives considered**

A destination parameter on a generic comment tool would expose
unnecessary routing authority. A new delivery worker would add another
durable delivery path. This change uses a dedicated tool and the
existing comment and live-event paths.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental Agent Chat capability in `ROADMAP.md`. The
existing `enableAgentChat` setting controls it. Related public work:
Refs #13282, Refs #13283, and Refs #14408. Searches for proactive chat
and unread chat found no duplicate PR.

## What Changed

- Add a focused messaging service shared by the native tool and HTTP
route. It checks current run ownership, execution mode, recipient
membership, task access, and task privacy.
- Reuse the canonical company/agent/person conversation. Save the
comment and audit record together. Keep task completion and chat
execution separate from delivery.
- Add source-task provenance and source-scoped retry keys. Identical
retries return the saved receipt. Changed content returns a conflict.
- Enforce the conversation's fixed agent at the shared comment-write
boundary. Keep normal reply cancellation and session checks.
- Add chat unread state, accessible agent dots, aggregate Chat
indicators, and visible-message read cutoffs. Refresh through existing
live events.
- Add the request-key constraint, native tool contracts, documentation,
capability maps, stories, and regression coverage.

## Verification

- Local delivery/security proof: all 38 proactive-message cases pass.
Eight credential-scope regressions and four quota regressions fail
against the prior source. The repaired delivery and canonical
cross-issue cap suites pass all 49 cases; all 31 OpenAPI tests, server
typecheck, and capability-map checks pass. The shared per-run cap covers
native and HTTP sends, mixed ordinary mutations, concurrent last-slot
contention, and retry/recovery without double charging.
- Credential tests preserve the authenticated person and authorizer;
reject bridge/test credentials and persisted skill-test runs after
task-mode changes; and recheck API-key revocation, scope, and
responsible person after destination locking. The earlier
delivery/native-authority suites passed all 74 cases before the four
quota additions.
- Four PostgreSQL contention cases cover native and HTTP sends plus
retries during a native chat mutation. All four deadlock against the
earlier source and pass with destination-before-source/run locking.
Recovery and human-reply delivery enqueue only the human comment; a
proactive digest never wakes the chat agent.
- Passed 108 companion conversation, native-authority, and OpenAPI
tests; 112 runner catalog/workflow-report tests; 47 completion-delivery
tests; and 25 project-handoff tests. Focused runner tests cover native
tool availability without generic API tools.
- All 327 affected UI tests, UI typecheck, token gates, and catalog
checks pass. The read hook retries at most three times, respects server
retry delay, coalesces only seen cutoffs, recovers on reconnect, and
cancels on scope changes.
- Real browser journeys with a deterministic process agent verify
routine-to-chat delivery, first-chat creation, unread state across
reload, the source link, secondary chat navigation, and a follow-up
reply referring to the digest. This does not qualify live GitHub
retrieval or model output quality.
- The Storybook showcase uses production components with deterministic
network fixtures. Rendered interactions pass for the landing, ordinary
read success, transient read recovery, and persistent failure after
bounded retries. Both Chat navigation variants update from two unread
chats to one while only Kodi's dot clears. Mobile and light variants
were reviewed. The existing Coordinator Recents label contrast finding
is unchanged; no Linux visual baseline archive exists.
- Current master's independent sandbox migration retains 0418.
Regenerated the feature migration as 0419 from the combined schema and
retained exactly the newest five snapshots; numbering/safety, replay,
and schema-drift checks pass.
- Workspace typecheck and build passed before PR preparation; canonical
server/UI typechecks passed again on the combined tree. Migration
`0419_slippery_impossible_man.sql` passes safety and schema drift checks
on disposable PostgreSQL, including interrupted index repair, concurrent
migrators, one-time owner read-state backfill, preserved receipts, and
two SQL replays. A default five-second local snapshot comparison timed
out; a diagnostic 30-second run passed without drift.
- Earlier failures are retained in the record: full local `pnpm
test:run` and broad shards encountered embedded-PostgreSQL startup,
timing, and provider-recovery failures. Thirteen selected
external-channel cases pass in isolation on the original and changed
sources; an unordered comment-row assertion now explicitly orders both
reads. The earlier route registry, native tool count, runner catalog,
and accessible Chat badge-name failures were fixed and passed full
remote CI on `920b3bb7db`.
- Repeated managed-skill server8 failures came from CI's newer synthetic
merge: its Cloud guard correctly rejected the old local-disk fixture.
Master independently repaired the fixture in #18385; this branch keeps
that repair unchanged. All 57 managed-skill and Cloud prerequisite cases
pass on the combined tree, and that fixture has no remaining PR diff.
- Current reviewed head `dc16f314739a6d977bed21cb1446d0e80a541578`:
Greptile 5/5 with no findings, Superagent security assessment passed,
advisory Paperclip Review 5/5 with no findings, and zero open review
threads. All 55 current-head check runs pass, with five expected skips
and the advisory review neutral at 5/5; Snyk also passes. No checks are
pending or failing. Protected squash auto-merge is enabled and is
waiting for required code-owner approval. A normal exact-head merge was
refused by the base-branch policy; no admin bypass was used. The
previous head's Superagent quota finding is fixed and covered above.

## Risks

- Chat remains company-visible. Delivery rejects a source task with
private-task, project, or ancestor restrictions.
- Read state uses a comment timestamp cutoff. The server retains
database precision and never moves a read receipt backward.
- The new unique constraint changes comment query planning. An existing
regression now uses an explicit row order. The migration builds the
unique index concurrently, then takes a brief table lock to attach it.
It uses the existing top-level migration and interrupted-index recovery
path.
- The upgrade backfills missing chat-owner read-state rows at the latest
existing agent comment. Existing read receipts remain intact. New chats
can still be unread before the human participates.
- Quota observation commits atomically with delivery. A rejected send
rolls back its attempted denial audit row and any first-chat creation;
the canonical warning remains in server logs, and previously spent quota
remains enforced. Identical/conflicting retries and receipt recovery
spend no extra slot.
- This version delivers in-app only. It adds no external-channel, push,
or email delivery.
- Local full-suite acceptance remains limited by the failures recorded
above. The feature stays behind `enableAgentChat`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex. PR preparation and CI work used `gpt-6.1-sol` with tool
use and code execution. The earlier implementation also used Codex, but
its exact model ID was not recorded in the visible session. The
context-window size was not provided.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip b056026407 fix(ui): keep task plugin views available for manual access (#18363)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage agents and their tasks.
> - The task side panel can display a plugin's agent view.
> - Users need that view even while a task is idle.
> - Activity currently controls both manual discovery and automatic
opening.
> - This pull request keeps manual access available and uses activity to
request automatic opening.
> - The same authorized agent viewer serves both entry points.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A task view disappeared when its run ended. Users could not select it
until the current run reported matching activity and its readiness check
passed. This also excluded declared manual views without an activity
mapping.

**Expected behavior**

The task launcher offers declared views for its running or assigned
agent. Selecting one uses the same viewer as the agent detail page.
Matching activity and readiness open the pane and select the view by
default, once per run.

**Steps to reproduce**

Open an idle task assigned to an agent with an installed task-panel
contribution. Open the panel launcher. The view is currently missing.
Related work: #18131 and #18239.

## What Changed

- Return manual panel declarations independently of run activity and
readiness.
- Mark panels that should open automatically after matching activity and
readiness. Keep existing run attribution, retry bounds, and dismissal
behavior.
- Keep an open viewer mounted when a run ends. Focus an already open
manual view when activity starts.
- Preserve saved manual tabs while plugin and initial run discovery
load; remove contributions after discovery confirms they are absent.
- Share the run-scoped dismissal key between the task page and panel
controller so dismissed views do not reveal an empty pane.
- Use the current running agent for declared manual views that have no
activity mapping.
- Update the plugin authoring contract and feature recipe.

## Verification

- Two new regressions failed before the fix: idle discovery returned no
view, and a manual contribution opened automatically.
- 105 focused hook and panel tests pass. They cover idle/manual access,
declarations without mappings, completion, saved-tab restoration,
automatic focus, activity attribution, retry bounds, dismissal, and
missing/disabled plugins.
- Thirteen task-page panel integration tests pass. New regressions
reproduce and fix a dismissed manual view revealing the outer pane. They
cover desktop/mobile and both workspace modes, and verify that a later
run can still open the view automatically.
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs`, `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`,
and `git diff --check` pass.
- Local UI typecheck failed with the reused dependency cache: workspace
modules/exports and generated Storybook catalog files are missing or
stale. It reported no errors in the changed files. The final head passed
the clean GitHub typecheck. No broad local build or repository test run
was attempted.
- The preceding head passed [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41116028688),
with 48 jobs succeeding and one skipped. Its final review scored 5/5 and
identified a narrow saved-view restoration race. This revision adds the
missing initial-run loading guard. Two delayed-response regressions
failed before the correction and now pass; they cover a different
assignee and an unassigned task.
- The final head `bbde3a28f7ac0390da8f3fe81eb9abd2f3020695` passed
[GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41119772438)
and the additional [full CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41121827023),
each with 48 successful jobs and one skipped. Standard Greptile scored
5/5 on this head; both review threads are resolved. The small final
loading correction used the permitted exception to another final-review
cycle.
- The additional full CI run initially failed the canary bundle install
because npm advertised a newly published `tslib@2.9.1` archive before
its tarball was available (HTTP 404). After the archive became
available, one retry of the failed canary and dependent aggregate
passed. No dependency or lockfile change was needed.
- Hosted acceptance of this follow-up requires merge and deployment; the
earlier hosted activation checks cover the previously merged behavior.

## Risks

Manual views can now open while idle or before readiness. Each viewer
retains its normal authorization and status handling. Declarations
without an activity mapping now appear in the launcher. Automatic
opening still requires authenticated activity and the authorized
readiness result. Saved tabs wait for plugin discovery before removal.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository inspection, terminal tools,
browser verification, and code execution. The exact serving variant and
context window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 6dcf4160dd perf(chat): load recent messages and page history on scroll (#18358)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage work done by agents.
> - A standing agent chat can hold months of conversation.
> - The chat route forced full-history mode, bypassing compact task
loading.
> - A cold visit fetched lifetime run summaries and hydrated historical
transcripts.
> - This PR starts with 20 recent messages and loads earlier pages on
upward scroll.
> - It preserves the reader's position, current questions, and draft
while history grows.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Standing agent chats forced full-history loading. A long conversation
fetched full activity and run history before it became readable. Earlier
comments also used an explicit load control.

**Expected behavior**

Open a small recent conversation quickly. Load older messages when the
reader scrolls upward. Show an inline loading state. Keep the visible
message and composer mounted through paging, live updates, and Back
navigation.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a standing agent chat with hundreds of messages and completed
runs.
2. Use a fresh browser query cache.
3. Observe full activity and run reads plus transcript requests for
historical runs.
4. Compare the recent window and upward paging after this change.

Related work: #18312 and #18323 restored compact task and collection
loading. #14848 added reopening of visited agent chats. A GitHub search
found no open PR for this chat-history optimization.

## What Changed

- Return 20 contiguous recent comments for standing chats, with a stable
oldest cursor. Keep the existing compact task exchange contract. Use the
existing company/issue/time index for cursor reads.
- Keep chats compact even if their task view previously expanded
history. Retain observed messages through live catch-up and cache-backed
return visits.
- Keep fetched history pages, acknowledged sends, and the observed
recent cursor separate. Reconcile live replies without losing history
after a send or deleted cursor.
- Hydrate metadata only for newly revealed message/run IDs; preserve
prior batches while paging. Slow-send recovery refreshes the recent
window. Receipts failures have an independent retry.
- Hydrate run summaries only for loaded messages and the latest turn.
Validate batches of at most 100 run IDs and keep the existing
issue/company access rules.
- Reuse hydrated terminal native streams when only history membership
changes. Preserve retry, resume, mode changes, reconnect recovery, and
interrupted recovery reads.
- Load older messages, decision receipts, and task handoffs through
upward scrolling. Support wheel, touch, and keyboard input. Keep pending
questions visible.
- Reserve a status slot while loading. Preserve a logical message anchor
and the mounted composer. Pause failed page reads until an inline Retry.
- Add database, route, controller, and scroll regressions, plus an
opt-in production-build browser rig for long chats on desktop and
mobile. Update design and feature/access documentation.

## Verification

- The real PostgreSQL cold-open suite passes all 12 tests, including
contiguous pages with equal timestamps, complete history, company
denial, and scoped run IDs.
- Activity route and OpenAPI suites pass 53 tests. The route run allowed
local cold-import overhead; CI retains the repository's normal timeouts.
- Three new paging regressions fail against the unchanged source. The
candidate's focused paging/window suite passes 26 tests. Broader UI
verification is recorded below when complete.
- Desktop and mobile browser acceptance covers recent-only startup,
per-frame reveal geometry, delayed and failed older pages, stable
reading anchors and drafts, Back, older comment links, and one persisted
live reply.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed locally. The final UI source
also passes its typecheck and production build.
- Affected UI suites pass: 212 controller/history/paging tests, 352
thread/scroller tests, 26 native-stream tests, plus metadata batching
and live-cache hydration coverage. The issue mutation/access route suite
passes 179 tests.
- All 22 final desktop/mobile browser journeys pass, including delayed
image growth. The isolated second-page request proof also passes six
repeated desktop/mobile runs. A separate 6,000-message, 3,000-run
fixture passes cold-open and delayed-paging checks on both screen sizes,
still opening 20 messages and loading one 50-message page.
- Final matched production timings use baseline `aa58fa1073`
(`index-BaRiMbxd.js`) and candidate UI source `f9a26b9783`
(`index-DPWTbsFF.js`, identical application source at final head
`bf71ffd5af`). Chromium 151.0.7922.34, 1440×900, 4× CPU throttle, no
added network latency, browser HTTP cache disabled, fresh application
cache for each cold visit. Both variants block service workers and use
the same warm local API server and immutable 600-message/300-run
fixture. Only document HTML is intercepted for both variants; API
requests are real. The common API revision is `109981f8c1`; subsequent
commits change only UI and tests.

| Usable conversation | Baseline median (range) | Candidate median
(range) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cold direct URL | 6.57 s (5.69–7.45) | 3.07 s (2.50–3.28) |
| Warm in-app return | 3.76 s (3.54–4.76) | 0.67 s (0.58–1.46) |
| Back return | 2.53 s (2.12–4.20) | 0.51 s (0.47–1.18) |

Five pairs alternate order. Every paired difference favors the candidate
for all three journeys. Readiness requires a revealed, fully visible
latest reply above the composer and an editable composer. Return timing
starts after the Tasks route renders. Cold API requests fall from
953–954 to 71; API wire bytes fall from 517–559 KB to about 49 KB.
Separate CPU profiles and request waterfalls confirm the removal of
lifetime event hydration and are excluded from the five timing pairs.
Both variants have the same expected missing optional plan document
(404) and no browser exceptions. Control recent-window API reads have
medians of 37 ms / 32 ms, with shared-host outliers up to 376 ms.

The 6,000-message recent-window SQL uses
`issue_comments_company_issue_created_at_idx` (22 index rows read for a
21-row probe). Geometry assertions retain a 2-pixel tolerance for the
reading anchor and first-reveal layout. These are local synthetic
measurements, not deployed staging latency. Earlier timing probes are
excluded because they did not isolate service workers or composer
clearance. Final head `bf71ffd5afb5684ba9105a3127f617e7adf5139c` has 55
successful checks, three optional skips and one neutral result, with no
failures or pending checks. Greptile is 5/5 with no open review
findings.

### Failure record

Early local attempts exposed an unconditional scroller wrapper that
changed the old task layout, and automatic retries on chat page
failures. Both were corrected. The original task scroller structure
stays in place. Metadata request assertions wait for initial connection
recovery to settle, then verify only the new page’s reads;
retry/resume/reconnect revalidation remains intentional.

The initial review caught a send-before-scroll cache defect; its
controller regression failed before the fix. Later rapid-paging checks
caught scroll readiness being gated by metadata after the first reveal;
readiness now stays enabled once revealed. Live replies use the separate
acknowledged-message cache, then catch up from the server cursor.

Visual review exposed a pagination wrapper bypassing existing composer
clearance. The body is again a direct scroller child; cold-open browser
checks require the full latest reply above the composer. A
resize-observer regression failed before the fix and now passes.
Controlled delayed inline images prove both pinned following and a
stable reading anchor on desktop/mobile.

The first performance fixture lacked valid native event envelopes and
caused missing-log fallbacks. It is excluded from latency claims. The
final fixture uses saved native assistant events and conversation
session generations. The live test uses a temporary fixture-agent key,
attributes the reply to an existing synthetic run, and revokes the key.
It starts no model or agent process.

Local database attempts failed during a Docker shutdown. The retained
disposable database was restored and its suite passed. Early fixture
errors included a missing conversation identity field and session
generation. Mobile test setup also selected an offscreen sidebar link
and reused queued human input. Optional announcements could intercept
input; the fixture now dismisses them before the journeys. The scroll
observer now waits for the delivered wheel event and settled animation
frames, including when the viewport is already at the top. A
concurrently running live test briefly changed another probe’s row
count; the final acceptance and timing runs were sequential on separate
fixtures. The final rig uses the visible mobile navigation and a saved
agent reply. Anchor observation waits for the user's scroll to settle
before measuring the effect of live updates.

The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt hit repeated embedded PostgreSQL
initialization failures and failures in untouched native-session
executor suites; it was stopped after the repeated environment failures.
The targeted real-PostgreSQL suite passed, and final-head CI is required
before handoff. The first CI run also caught an exact mock expectation
missing the added company scope; the expectation is updated and its
179-test suite passes. The final-head first CI attempt also stalled an
assigned child task in the existing plan-approval scenario, then hit a
heartbeat-run row lock timeout during fixture cleanup. The failed shard
and aggregate check passed on an unchanged rerun of the same commit.
Scenario assertions and timeouts were unchanged. The failure and rerun
are retained in [CI run
41116120430](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41116120430).

## Risks

- Historical transcript diagnostics no longer load on a cold chat open.
Saved messages and conversation events remain available; diagnostic run
views keep their full records.
- Cursor paging must not omit comments with equal timestamps. Database
tests cover timestamp/UUID ordering and the complete set.
- Prepended or late content can move the reader. Browser checks cover
retained row identity, viewport offsets, mounted drafts, and Back.
Previously loaded pages stay in the query cache for its existing
lifetime.
- Local synthetic evidence does not establish deployed staging latency.
This PR does not merge or deploy the change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact backend deployment ID and context window were not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 5a7a6b32ba fix(ui): restore compact Coordinator task loading and responder continuity (#18312)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People open tasks from their personal workspace and send replies to
agents.
> - Cold task opens should load recent conversation before older
history.
> - Classic settings could expand history before the Coordinator
preference arrived.
> - Coordinator lists also read full tasks, and response startup used
the previous assignee.
> - This pull request restores compact reads and keeps the selected
responder visible through runtime discovery.
> - People can read and reply without waiting for unrelated history or
losing response feedback.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #17593, #17751, #17756, #17885, #17983, and #18092.

**What happened?**

A cold task could select Classic full history while its personal
workspace preference was pending. The full-history choice stayed cached
after Coordinator became active. Coordinator Tasks used full task reads.
Needs attention fetched one enriched task per pending task.

Sending to a newly selected agent could show no responder, show the
previous assignee, or clear feedback when assignment changed. Legacy
runtime discovery then replaced the startup identity with a generic
activity line.

**Expected behavior**

Wait for the workspace preference before selecting Classic history. Show
the task instruction and recent conversation with **More messages** for
older content. Read collection indexes and fetch diagnostics for visible
rows. Keep the selected responder mounted from Send through saved input
and runtime startup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable Classic task UI and Coordinator. Delay the personal workspace
preference on a cold task open.
2. Open Coordinator Tasks or its Needs attention view with many pending
tasks.
3. Open a task assigned to a person. Select another agent in the
composer and send a message.
4. Let the message save before runtime reads return. Then allow a legacy
run to appear.

## What Changed

- Wait for task interface settings before persisting Classic history
expansion.
- Use lightweight indexes for Coordinator Tasks. Resolve pending task
IDs in batches of at most 100. Keep search and participant filters on
the server. Enrich at most 50 visible rows through the existing hook
without replacing list membership or order.
- Preserve an error when a pending task cannot load, instead of showing
a false all-clear.
- Register board cards for row enrichment. Observe newly mounted cards
after column expansion or pagination, and track visibility by element so
hidden list rows cannot clear visible board cards with the same task ID.
- Track the recipient of each submitted message through reassignment. A
later draft's recipient does not change the response already starting.
- Share a stable response header across startup, native runtime, and
legacy runtime rendering. Keep the existing transcript renderers.
- Add regression tests, production-browser checks, design guidance, and
feature-map notes.

## Verification

- Red/green: delayed Coordinator preference started a full comments read
before the fix. It now retains compact history and still expands on
request.
- Red/green: sends from human or other-agent assignment showed no
identity or the wrong identity. Both now retain the selected responder
through assignment, acknowledgement, later draft selection, and
native/legacy startup.
- In a 105-task Needs attention fixture, the previous code made 105
enriched detail requests. The fixed code makes two bounded index
requests.
- All 659 final affected tests pass across task detail, thread, runner
turn, history window, Inbox, board, row enrichment, and Coordinator
collection suites.
- Review follow-up: the production board lost its next-step badge before
card registration. The regression now passes, along with column
pagination. The focused 82-test enrichment run and 371-test
header/thread run also pass.
- All 12 compact-startup browser checks pass against the production UI
and an isolated PostgreSQL container. They cover delayed preferences,
list navigation, saved-card geometry, document/comment anchors, history
expansion, draft retention, retry, and actual legacy process startup.
The final deterministic process case recorded 118 frames with zero
missing or replaced responder identities. It does not call a model
provider.
- Full workspace build and typecheck pass. Final UI build and typecheck
pass after the shared-header change. Token gates, map checks, module
boundaries, and diff checks pass.
- The full UI rerun before the board review follow-up passed all 10,034
tests across 844 files. The 659 affected tests pass after that
follow-up. The first full UI run passed 10,030 tests and timed out in
one unchanged IssuesList large-tree test. Its two variants pass in an
isolated rerun and in the full rerun. Those later passes establish
recovery; the earlier timeout's cause remains unproven.
- The full `pnpm test:run` attempt was stopped after repeated embedded
PostgreSQL initialization failures in server fixtures. No complete local
server-suite pass is claimed. Browser verification recovered with a
disposable container database.
- A later avatar browser rerun reused the previous same-title task and
its cancelled run through the existing 48-hour title deduplication. That
fixture never reached fresh runtime startup. The test now uses a unique
title and checks its initial assignment/status; a full 12-case rerun and
a second avatar run on the same instance pass. The failed trace is
retained locally.
- Final commit `7a18372da3` has 55 successful checks, two intentionally
skipped Storybook checks, and one neutral Paperclip Review. All required
verification gates are green. Greptile is 5/5 with no actionable
findings or open review threads. The advisory Paperclip review paused
without a complete assessment; no passing Paperclip assessment is
claimed.
- These checks establish bounded reads and stable rendering. No reliable
staging latency benchmark or staging deployment is claimed.

## Risks

- Collection projections omit task bodies. Detail navigation must retain
its normal core/full task reads. Search remains server-side.
- Startup feedback must end on rejection, unavailable agents, terminal
outcomes, or a visible run. Existing cases cover those transitions.
- The shared header changes the legacy live-turn layout to retain
identity beside its existing status line.
- No migration, mutation permission, provider protocol, or execution
authority change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving deployment ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. The model used
reasoning, code editing, shell tools, automated Chromium checks, and
manual browser inspection.

DottaandPaperclip 7e27bc5007 fix(tasks): keep anchored opens compact and stabilize saved cards (#18092)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task pages must make the current instruction and recent conversation
readable quickly.
> - Compact startup avoids reading all earlier messages and run
activity.
> - Every URL fragment previously selected the full-history path, even
for documents.
> - Saved document cards also arrived after the conversation was
visible. PR statistics could add another row later.
> - This pull request keeps anchors compact and reveals the saved
conversation structure together.
> - The benefit is stable reading position without loading unrelated
history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #17593 introduced compact startup. #14667 covers earlier reveal
and scroll work. This fix retains the bounded history contract.

**What happened?**

Opening a task document link loaded all task history. Ordinary cold
opens could reveal messages before saved document cards and plans
arrived. Later PR metadata added a statistics row and changed card
height.

**Expected behavior**

Every URL fragment keeps compact startup. Document links open their
pane. Older-comment links fetch only the target comment. Saved cards
keep their geometry after first reveal.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a task with many comments, a saved plan, documents and saved
PR work products.
2. Delay the enriched task response and open the task. Observe cards
inserted after messages appear.
3. Open a document fragment. Observe full comment, activity and run
reads.
4. Delay PR metadata refresh. Observe each card grow when diff counts
arrive.

## What Changed

- Remove fragment and tab checks from automatic history expansion.
Resolve validated comment UUIDs through the authorized single-comment
endpoint, encode their path components, retain fetched targets across
document navigation, and preserve cancellation/deletion cache updates.
- Include the saved plan, document metadata and local work-product
projection in the core task read. Skip recovery, workspace and
related-task enrichment. Do not refresh providers. Summary queries no
longer select other document bodies.
- Seed saved work-product and plan queries from core, including already
pending or errored reads, without replacing known lists or an
authoritative empty result. Coordinate the bounded recent reads, saved
cards, latest transcript and settled initial pane width before first
reveal. Keep the thread and composer mounted during refresh and explicit
expansion.
- Open continuation summaries in the document pane. Reserve PR
statistics geometry while provider metadata loads.
- Add a reusable synthetic local task, nine browser checks, frame
measurements and video. Extend the PostgreSQL core-route fixture with a
saved PR row and assert its identity, URL, state and stored metadata
survive the response. Update design guidance and capability maps.

## Verification

- Red: visible document/plan cards changed from 0 to 1 to 4; thread
height grew from 690 to 1,432 pixels. Green: all seven saved cards
appear before reveal, with constant thread height and zero per-card
movement in the final reviewed browser run. The final 1,492-pixel layout
includes the reserved PR statistics lines.
- Red: delayed PR diff counts changed all three cards from 62 to 82
pixels. Green: their heights stay at 82 pixels before and after metadata
refresh.
- Nine browser journeys pass: delayed enrichment,
document/comment/unknown/continuation anchors, document clicks and
explicit history expansion with a retained draft, missing-comment retry,
delayed PR statistics, and retained older-comment position after
document navigation.
- 583 focused UI tests passed on `c91fa107ba`. After the plan-cache
follow-up, all 212 affected page/cache/plan-hook tests and UI typecheck
pass, including 14 plan-hook cases. The original 16 focused PostgreSQL
tests passed for the server changes.
- Merge-review red: holding the duplicate stored work-products read
blocked the first reveal past 10 seconds despite core already containing
the saved cards. Both empty and populated core projections now reveal
while that request remains pending. Malformed-comment tests prove no
target request is made; API tests prove path encoding and abort-signal
forwarding.
- The populated core-route test now inserts a real saved PR work product
alongside the plan and documents, then checks the complete saved
projection through HTTP. All ten task cold-open PostgreSQL tests pass.
- Plan-cache review red: an existing pending or errored plan query
prevented the saved core plan from reaching the consumer. Four real-hook
cases failed before the data-presence fix and pass afterward, for both
present and absent plans. A separately fetched newer plan or known
absent plan remains authoritative.
- Further layout red: the initial properties pane reduced visible thread
width from 775 to 742 pixels after reveal. The reveal now waits for two
stable width frames; the browser check includes width, height, card
counts and per-card geometry.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed for the original change;
UI typecheck and build pass after review fixes. Token, module-boundary
and map checks pass. `pnpm test:run` was stopped after about 15 minutes
in the serialized server lane. No full local test-suite pass is claimed.
On the earlier head, hosted build/typecheck and all Vitest lanes passed;
one E2E shard failed because the agent-configuration clipboard helper
copied page text into its YAML parser. On `c91fa107ba`, Greptile was 5/5
and every E2E shard passed, including the earlier clipboard case. One
unchanged Discord chat-binding test in server shard 8 returned false
after 185 ms; its 16-test integration file passes locally without
changes. The CI cause remains unestablished. On `be436ce492`, both
server shard 8 and E2E shard 7 passed without changing those tests or
their product code. On final head `e357b3bced`, all CI jobs pass,
including full general and serialized tests, all eight E2E shards,
typecheck, build and the aggregate verification gate. Exact-head
Greptile is 5/5 with no findings. The overall status rollup contains 55
successes, two intentionally skipped Storybook checks and a neutral
Paperclip Review. That advisory review ended without a complete
assessment; all previously posted findings are resolved and it added no
current findings.
- Test startup exceeded an initial 5-second deadline once while
development assets and other checks were active. The final browser
checks allow 10 seconds. These runs establish geometry and bounded
requests; they do not establish a reliable latency improvement. An
initial 503 error fixture exercised global reconnect/backoff. The
target-comment failure test uses a terminal 404.
- Browser data is synthetic. Provider metadata is simulated for the
delayed-response check. No staging deployment or live provider execution
is claimed.

## Risks

- Core task reads now include local saved-card queries and the saved
plan body. Other document bodies and all historical run activity remain
outside that path.
- First reveal waits for the bounded current structure. The existing
15-second incomplete-history fallback and inline retry remain available.
- Continuation-summary links open in the document pane in the current
task interface. Classic tasks keep their existing surface.
- No migration or mutation permission change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code editing, shell tools
and browser testing. The exact serving model ID and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

scotttongandPaperclip 71f0c0c99e feat: add opt-in Coordinator workspace for chat, tasks, and decisions (#17983)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/147/changes/paperclip/147
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People coordinate work through conversations, tasks, and requests
for input.
> - These surfaces must share task state and preserve the context of
each decision.
> - The existing workspace makes people switch surfaces to follow that
context.
> - This pull request adds an optional Coordinator workspace with linked
conversations, tasks, documents, and decisions.
> - Each person can enable it in Settings > Experimental and return to
the classic workspace.
> - The benefit is a coherent path from a request to an assigned task
and reviewed work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**
UI, server, shared contracts, and database.

**Problem or motivation**
People need a consistent way to start tasks from agent conversations,
answer questions, review work, and return to the source context.
Decisions and task state must agree across these surfaces.

**Proposed solution**
Add a personal, default-off workspace experiment. Keep one conversation
per agent. Add task proposals, compact task and decision cards,
contextual document panels, and a Needs You queue with search, filters,
sorting, grouping, and history.

**Alternatives considered**
Replacing the classic workspace for everyone would remove the opt-out
path. Keeping separate decision state in each surface would create
conflicting answers. This change uses the existing canonical task and
interaction records instead.

**Roadmap alignment**
This supports the existing agent chat, task management, and human review
capabilities. It is an experimental presentation choice. The user
requested this isolated implementation after design review. No Discord
discussion is claimed.

## What Changed

- Add per-person workspace preferences, a default-off setting, and an
additive migration.
- Add Coordinator navigation, pinned destinations, task lists, agent
switching, and contextual panels.
- Link task suggestions and creation to the source conversation. Default
new task ownership to the current agent unless the user specifies
another owner.
- Share pending questions, decision receipts, exact review targets, and
history across tasks, chat, and Needs You.
- Preserve task access, assignment authorization, revision binding, and
required output review gates.
- Add compact document links, relative timestamps, composer controls,
and reduced-motion support for task and decision transitions.
- Add component stories, regression coverage, and capability-map
documentation.

## Verification

- Final head: `4b839aae1e314bd7e8635a766f1d205ff1c03ba6`, based on
master `8bc051245f77a47bee0f8ba45896b8bfa5922e0a`. Verified October 29,
2026 at 00:10 UTC: **MERGEABLE, 56 checks passed, four conditional
skips, no pending or failed checks**. [Current CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40790639688)
passed without a rerun on this head.
- Fresh Greptile **5/5**, zero new comments and zero open review
threads; Superagent passed with no suspicious changes.
[Checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17983/checks).
- Local workspace typecheck/build passed after the latest rebase. The
final account-read patch passed UI typecheck/build and all 12 related
preference/settings tests, including a delayed real-client request
across account changes. Earlier scoped checks cover review
deduplication/replay, decision deep links, cross-surface state, access
boundaries, and migration replay.
- Local database/browser rechecks after the latest rebase were limited
by exhausted macOS shared-memory IDs: `initdb` failed before database
creation. The local run passed 31 UI/snapshot tests and skipped 24
database tests; those skips and the blocked local browser start are not
claimed as passes. The independent Linux CI database and browser checks
passed. No running dev database or host setting was changed.
- Upstream migration 0403 is preserved. Preferences and durable review
retry aliases are generated as replay-safe migrations
`0404_tense_silver_sable.sql` and `0405_harsh_avengers.sql`; five newest
snapshots are retained. Every detected conflict was rebased and pushed
before waiting for CI/review, as requested.
- The PR is unmerged. The active master ruleset still requires
code-owner approval for the changed Paperclip skill; no approval or rule
change was performed.

<details>
<summary>Earlier verification failures, integration history, and
evidence</summary>

These entries preserve prior checkpoints and failures; the current
acceptance result is above.

- Focused UI and server checks from the isolated build are recorded in
the implementation plan.
- Browser checks covered the opt-in shell, navigation, task/document
links, and decision card states. No new live provider trial is claimed
for this handoff.
- Current acceptance head: `4b839aae1e314bd7e8635a766f1d205ff1c03ba6`,
rebased onto master `8bc051245` immediately after its GitHub
review-repair migration took 0403. Preferences are generated as
idempotent `0404_tense_silver_sable.sql`, preserving upstream
SQL/journal/snapshot history and five newest snapshots. GitHub reports
MERGEABLE after the immediate lease-protected push. Scott's updated
instruction is to rebase and push every conflict resolution first,
without waiting for CI or Greptile; verification follows the push.
- The final reviewed feature tree was consolidated for repeatable
single-commit rebases. The complete previous commit history remains
reachable through local recovery ref
`codex/coordinator-recovery-before-rebase-20261028` (resolved snapshot
`0e1bbdf4e`). The actual rebase completed, and its tree hash exactly
matches that resolved snapshot. The force-with-lease required the known
remote head `0e6ef7c44`, protecting against concurrent branch changes.
No PR merge or permission/runner setting change occurred. Fresh
CI/review are in progress for the current head.
- `2001132fa` received Greptile 5/5 with one nonblocking account-switch
read finding. Current head detaches path-coalesced preference GETs and
disables HTTP caching, retaining React Query's account-scoped sharing. A
delayed real-client GET regression proves account B can load its saved
choice before account A responds, and A's late response only updates A's
cache. Preference/settings tests 12/12 and UI typecheck passed; its
review thread is resolved. Fresh current-head CI/reviews are pending.
The prior CI chat shard 3 ended with “The operation was canceled” and no
assertion failure ([job
123171595631](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40789688333/job/123171595631),
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-chat3.log`); no code/timeout change is attributed
to that cancellation.
- `843e823b4` reached fresh Greptile 5/5 with zero comments/open threads
and Superagent pass. All browser tests including the repaired YAML shard
passed, and 54 checks passed. General server shard 9 ended with “The
operation was canceled” and no failed assertion; its test step was
marked cancelled (job
[123164350893](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40787501761/job/123164350893),
log `/tmp/pr17983-843e-server9.log`). A single unchanged-head rerun was
started after the workflow completed, but master moved while it ran. A
local nested-clone check timed out in its 30-second database-startup
hook and then failed cleanup before the 20 database cases ran; this is
retained as a local verification limit
(`/tmp/pr17983-843e-nested-clone-check.log`), not claimed as a pass or
proof of the CI cancellation cause.
- Following Scott's instruction, the new conflict was rebased and pushed
immediately without waiting for that rerun. Upstream's
`0403_natural_cerise.sql` is preserved; regenerated preferences and
retry-alias migrations are `0404_tense_silver_sable.sql` and
`0405_harsh_avengers.sql`, replay-safe with five newest snapshots
retained. The YAML helper conflict combines upstream's click and header
behavior with the editor-selection guard and injected regression.
Recovery ref `codex/coordinator-recovery-843e823b4` preserves pre-rebase
work. Current head is MERGEABLE. Full workspace typecheck/build passed;
UI and snapshot checks passed 31 tests, but 24 database tests were
skipped by the local support probe, and the local browser server could
not initialize PostgreSQL. A direct disposable `initdb` diagnostic
established the host limitation: `could not create shared memory
segment: No space left on device` (`shmget`, shared-memory IDs
exhausted, not disk space). No dev database or host setting was changed.
Diagnostics: `/tmp/pr17983-2001132-initdb-probe.log`,
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-db-probe.log`; checks:
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-tests.log`, `/tmp/pr17983-2001132-browser.log`,
`/tmp/pr17983-2001132-types.log`, `/tmp/pr17983-2001132-build.log`.
These local skipped/blocked checks are not claimed as passes; fresh CI
on independent runners is in progress.
- `d18f683cd` reached fresh Greptile 5/5 with zero comments/open threads
and Superagent pass, but [E2E shard
7](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40785966243/job/123159719925)
failed parsing an Advanced YAML clipboard read beginning with “Skip to
Main Content.” The log is retained at `/tmp/pr17983-d18f-e2e7.log`.
Current head hardens the test helper to verify editor focus and
selection, clear stale clipboard content, and require the YAML header at
the start of a fresh copy before parsing. Saved-state assertions and
timeouts are unchanged. All six Advanced YAML browser journeys passed on
a disposable local instance (41.0s); the exact lost-response journey
also passed with a one-time injected surrounding-page copy, verifying
rejection/reacquisition (17.6s). The precise browser focus/clipboard
timing in CI remains unproven; the observed invalid-read path is now
guarded and deterministically exercised. Logs:
`/tmp/pr17983-yaml-clipboard-scope-browser.log`,
`/tmp/pr17983-yaml-clipboard-injected-browser.log`. Fresh current-head
CI and reviews are pending.
- `19e6dcb0b` passed Superagent and Greptile 5/5, with one nonblocking
deep-link finding. Current head preserves attention links using
`?decisionId=`: the requested pending decision is rendered even beyond
the first 40 cards, focused and scrolled into view, then only that
parameter is consumed so later refreshes do not refocus. Other URL
parameters remain. Needs You tests 10/10 and UI typecheck passed; its
review thread is resolved. The preceding post-rebase regression run
passed 45/45 tests. Fresh current-head CI/reviews are pending.
- `6d772b7cc` reached Greptile 5/5 with zero comments/open threads and
Superagent pass. While 32 checks had passed, master moved and caused a
documentation conflict in `maps/feature-map/onboarding.md`. Rebased
immediately, preserving both onboarding paragraphs. The complete
four-commit branch was pushed as `19e6dcb0b` before waiting on
CI/review, per Scott's instruction. A transient Git index lock
interrupted the first continue; the command sequence briefly pushed
intermediate `34e298c07`, then the completed rebase was immediately
pushed. All feature and security/retry fixes are present; local recovery
ref `codex/coordinator-recovery-6d772b7cc` preserves the pre-rebase
history. The only tree differences from that ref are upstream's two
smoke-test files and the combined documentation paragraph. GitHub
reports MERGEABLE. Fresh current-head verification is in progress;
prior-head review results are not current acceptance.
- `21efa3120` passed Superagent but Greptile scored 4/5 for a valid
retry-key persistence bug: an acknowledged duplicate key could reopen a
resolved review. Current head adds an additive, replay-safe
`0404_light_swarm.sql` migration for indexed, task-scoped aliases from
acknowledged retry keys to the canonical interaction. Alias registration
and retry lookup occur under the existing task lock; payload/actor
mismatch still conflicts, and each canonical review permits at most 100
aliases. Original and acknowledged keys replay the terminal result
rather than creating a new gate. Five newest migration snapshots are
retained. Service/routes tests 165/165 passed; final quality review plus
migration replay/snapshot checks 25/25 passed; server typecheck passed.
The P1 thread is resolved in code; fresh current-head reviews and CI are
pending.
- `69c2c7543` passed 55 checks and Greptile 5/5 with no open Greptile
findings, but Superagent check
[123140675812](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17983/checks?check_run_id=123140675812)
correctly flagged unbounded pending quality-card creation. Current head
fixes that under the existing task-row lock: equivalent requests with
fresh idempotency keys reuse the pending card; conflicting requests for
an unresolved deliverable return the existing interaction ID; pending
cards are capped at ten per task across all reviewers. Distinct outputs
remain independent, and already-answered items in a partially pending
batch can receive a fresh review. Added real-database concurrency,
cross-card duplicate, partial-answer, and hard-cap regressions. Quality
review 22/22 tests and final server typecheck passed; earlier
service/routes 163/163 tests passed before the final partial-answer
refinement. One added assertion initially expected a service HTTP error,
but duplicate keys are rejected earlier by the existing shared schema;
the assertion now verifies that validation. Fresh current-head
CI/reviews are pending; the action-required security result is not
treated as passed.
- `c9c575e5f` completed all 56 checks successfully with four conditional
skips, Greptile 5/5, and Superagent pass. Its two P2 review findings are
fixed in the current head: independently bound quality approvals now
each remain visible in attention; changing/clearing URL-backed
assignee/status filters updates the URL and survives task navigation.
Both review threads are resolved. Regression evidence: attention service
34/34 tests passed, CoordinatorTasks 20/20 passed, UI and server
typechecks and the full workspace build passed on `69c2c7543`. The first
new UI test run caught an assertion racing React Router's transition;
waiting for the navigation before asserting passes without weakening the
navigation/remount checks. These older-head green checks are not claimed
for the new fix commit.
- Preceding `0e6ef7c44` completed all 56 checks successfully with four
conditional skips, fresh Greptile 5/5 and no open findings, and passed
Superagent. A fifth migration-metadata collision arrived before the
final Runner job finished. Those green results are preserved as
prior-head evidence, not current acceptance.
- Previous fully verified migration head:
`0e6ef7c44696a377f35e69521b93587576374bd0`, integrating master
`f8226b051` after the fourth migration-number collision. Master added
terminal GitHub-response migration 0401 while the final native check
ran; upstream 0401 SQL/journal/snapshot is preserved unchanged, and
preferences are generated as idempotent `0402_yielding_blink.sql` on
top. Exactly the five newest snapshots remain. GitHub reports MERGEABLE
after the push. All 1,155 relevant
migration/review/interaction/native-execution/remote-assets tests,
workspace typecheck/build, migration guards and whitespace checks pass.
Fresh exact-head CI/Greptile/Superagent are pending.
- Immediately preceding head `36c67cf03` completed all 56 checks
successfully with four conditional skips, fresh Greptile 5/5 and no open
findings, plus passed Superagent security. No retry was needed for that
head's CI. Master advanced and introduced only a migration-metadata
conflict while its final native check ran, so that green result does not
establish acceptance of the current integration. Four consecutive
collisions (0398, 0399, 0400, 0401) during verification are retained as
concrete integration churn; a brief pause of competing migration merges
was requested, without assuming it happened or changing any repo
setting. The PR has not been merged.
- Prior fully verified head: `36c67cf03`, on the clean `30059c0ed`
integration of master `efd65c112`. The last Greptile P2 is fixed: Needs
attention retains the participant-agent scope through authoritative
server membership queries for each pending task, including historical
participation when another agent currently owns the task. It does not
approximate participation with current assignment or enumerate every
company task. The actual view-switch regression and all 31 focused
task/routing/collection tests, UI typecheck/build, token gates and
whitespace checks pass. Greptile completed a fresh 5/5 review on this
exact head (review 19) with zero new comments and no open review
threads. CI and Superagent remain in progress; no current-head CI
failure has been reported.
- Head `30059c0ed` received Greptile 5/5 with that one nonblocking
participant finding, now fixed. Superagent passed that head.
Current-base integration restored the ephemeral RunsOn fleet after a
superseded workflow retained queued aggregate jobs: normal cancellation
was insufficient; the single force-cancel request was interrupted but
readback confirmed that obsolete run cancelled and current CI began on
the trusted fleet. No cancellation retry or runner/security/workflow
changes were made. Its partial CI was superseded by the necessary
participant fix and is not current acceptance.
- Previous compatibility/base-sync head:
`30059c0ededc0eab4e04e8299a884f36db8b292f`, integrating master
`efd65c112` and the Inbox/workspace compatibility fixes. GitHub reports
MERGEABLE after the push. Coordinator keeps Inbox standalone under More
without rewriting the instance's Combined Inbox preference; opting out
restores that preference. Saved merged-Inbox URLs resolve to their
original owner, task status presets remain usable, and canonical
repeated `workspace` parameters retain scoped, deduplicated pagination
(including Needs attention). All 192 broader
routing/Inbox/sidebar/privacy/review tests and the final 16 task-page
tests pass, as do workspace typecheck/build, token gates and whitespace
checks. The two review threads are resolved. Fresh exact-head CI,
Greptile and Superagent results are pending.
- The preceding `d5b9be5bd` remained mergeable but its CI routing gate
intentionally fell back to GitHub-hosted runners: “stacked base merge
commit does not contain the current base branch.” All 45 downstream jobs
stayed queued. Current master was merged cleanly to refresh the pinned
base; no runner/security settings or workflow logic were changed.
Greptile scored that preceding head 4/5 with the two compatibility
findings fixed here. Its automatic Superagent scan was inconclusive at
checkout; the documented retry was still pending when superseded. Those
results do not establish acceptance of this current head.
- Previous approval/migration head:
`d5b9be5bd3b8d6b0437e42bf48138377f34fa67d`, integrating master
`ba5bba86d` and the stale-output approval correction. GitHub reports
MERGEABLE after the push. The fresh P1 finding is fixed: every submitted
item now validates and locks its bound output inside the resolution
transaction, whether or not it carries a required-quality-review
binding. Real database regressions verify that an advanced document
revision or deleted attachment refuses the entire batch without
recording approvals, and current ordinary output reviews still resolve.
All 272 combined migration/review/interaction tests pass; workspace
typecheck/build passed. Fresh exact-head Greptile and CI are pending.
The automatic Superagent scan ended inconclusive at checkout; one
documented on-demand retry is pending. These are explicit verification
limits, not passed security results. The P1 thread is resolved.
- Master consumed the next migration slot three times during this
verification pass: confirmation recovery took 0398, continuation
recovery took 0399, and GitHub acknowledgement recovery took 0400. Each
upstream SQL/journal/snapshot is preserved unchanged. Preferences are
now generated as idempotent `0401_white_lenny_balinger.sql` from
upstream 0400; exactly five snapshots remain, and replay coverage
locates this migration by table content. This is recorded concurrent
integration churn, not a claim that older green results apply to the
latest base.
- Head `ed3b68da9` fixed the two history/URL findings with 26 focused
regression tests, server/UI typechecks, workspace build and token gates
passing. Greptile then scored that head 4/5 with the stale-output P1
corrected in the current head. Its partial CI is superseded, not counted
as current acceptance.
- Previous filter-fix head: `ed3b68da9`, based on the `8458d39d9` merge
of master `063cfd438`. The two fresh Greptile findings are fixed:
history outcome filters now match recorded per-item verdicts in SQL
before pagination (mixed reviews remain in both applicable outcomes),
and same-page URL assignee changes/back/forward navigation update that
filter without clearing independent filters. All 26 focused
database/navigation/collection tests, server/UI typechecks, workspace
build, token gates and whitespace checks pass. The two review threads
are resolved. Fresh exact-head CI, Greptile and Superagent results are
pending.
- The `8458d39d9` migration integration also passed all 328 targeted
migration/interaction/confirmation tests, workspace typecheck/build and
Superagent security scan. Greptile scored that head 4/5 with the two
functional gaps fixed in the current head; those prior-head checks are
not current acceptance.
- Migration integration head:
`8458d39d9721f4cb312c2390070a0609f8cddd1a`, integrating master
`063cfd43813cabf18417605fb9eefb9aacf95c8d`. GitHub reports MERGEABLE
after the push. Master advanced twice during this conflict-resolution
pass: first its confirmation-recovery migration took 0398, then its
continuation-recovery migration took 0399. Both upstream migrations and
journal entries remain unchanged; Coordinator preferences are now
generated as idempotent `0400_sad_guardian.sql` from upstream's latest
snapshot. Exactly the five newest snapshots remain. The replay
regression now locates the table migration by content instead of
hardcoding a renumbered filename.
- All 328 targeted question/review/confirmation/migration tests passed
again after the second merge. Workspace typecheck/build and fresh
exact-head CI/reviews are in progress. The preceding `0c46f46d6` passed
workspace typecheck/build and Superagent security scan, but was
superseded because master consumed migration 0399 while those checks
ran. That prior-head result is not acceptance of the current head. No
production settings or runner/security permissions were changed, and the
PR has not been merged.
- Previous integration head: `0c46f46d6f2b23417ab872ce3cb6ff2673647287`,
integrating master `287b04d72f1b9fca1412e05435c75b8302ba0710`. GitHub
reports MERGEABLE after the push. The renewed conflicts were
`0398_snapshot.json`, `_journal.json`, and the top imports in
`issue-thread-interactions.ts`. Upstream's `0398` confirmation-recovery
index and journal history are preserved unchanged; Coordinator
preferences were regenerated as idempotent `0399_bouncy_miek.sql`, with
replay coverage updated and exactly the five newest snapshots retained.
Both terminal confirmation notifications and Coordinator task
assignment/required review behavior are preserved.
- All 328 targeted interaction/review/confirmation/migration tests pass,
as do workspace typecheck, map validation and whitespace checks. The
workspace build and fresh exact-head CI/Greptile/Superagent checks are
pending. The first migration-generation attempt hit the sandbox's local
IPC restriction before generating files; the unchanged authorized local
generation completed successfully. Prior-head green checks below do not
establish acceptance of this merge.
- Previous acceptance head: `8b7dcf739ed15afc51351fdfa0e0e5fbc75ab788`,
with master `1aa3a21ac` integrated and GitHub reporting MERGEABLE.
Greptile completed a fresh 5/5 review on this exact head with zero new
actionable findings and no open review threads. The [fresh CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40752864319)
completed SUCCESS on attempt 2 at 19:40:08 UTC, including all eight E2E
shards. Final completed check set: 55 succeeded, four conditional checks
skipped, zero pending/queued/running checks, and one
neutral/inconclusive Superagent scan. The auxiliary commitperclip review
and isolated native Runner compilation/cache-reuse check both passed.
This is not a claim that Superagent produced a passed security verdict.
GitHub still reports MERGEABLE against current master
`60b8089a44b4eaa37e627adbfdf2f130bda13335`.
- Current-head E2E: all eight shards and the aggregate passed, including
the previously failing YAML browser journey. Serialized server shard 9/9
failed: the protected YAML projection test exceeded its original
15-second timeout; its late update request then reached the next test's
reset mock (the captured payload is the prior test's model/label
update). All 88 tests in that exact unchanged file passed locally in
38.03 seconds, with no timeout or assertion changes. The original
slow-request cause remains unproven. CI failure log:
`/tmp/pr17983-8b7-serialized9.log`; local recovery:
`/tmp/pr17983-adapter-yaml-repro.log`. The single bounded unchanged
shard rerun passed, and the workflow completed SUCCESS. Rerun log:
`/tmp/pr17983-8b7-serialized9-rerun.log`. The initial failure is
retained; a passing retry does not establish its original slow-request
cause.
- Greptile scored preceding head `4873704be` 5/5 with one valid P2:
opened task decision records missed company-scoped live invalidation.
The current head uses the existing company decision prefix for
resolution and effect-completion events, and resets private record
payloads on access changes. Its thread is resolved. All 107 focused
record/live-update tests, UI typecheck/build, token checks and
whitespace checks pass.
- CI on `4873704be` failed E2E shard 7/8 in the Advanced YAML
lost-creation-response journey: its clipboard helper selected page text
starting with “Skip to Main Content” instead of YAML. The exact
unchanged journey passed in a disposable local browser instance (1 test,
17.1 seconds). No assertion, timeout or production behavior was
weakened; the original failure cause remains unproven. Failure log:
`/tmp/pr17983-487-e2e7.log`; local check:
`/tmp/pr17983-agent-yaml-repro.log`. The full unchanged Advanced YAML
browser suite also passed locally (6 tests, 37.8 seconds). Fresh
current-head CI subsequently passed this journey and all other E2E
shards.
- Both the automatic and one supported on-demand Superagent scan on
`4873704be` ended neutral/inconclusive: “Pinned PR scan merge-base
checkout failed or timed out.” These do not count as a passed security
verdict. The current head's automatic scan and one documented on-demand
retry also returned the identical neutral checkout failure, with zero
annotations or further diagnostics. This is an external scanner blocker,
not a passed security verdict. No security settings or permissions were
changed.
- Recorded decision links now render and focus the full source-task
record in both Classic and Coordinator, including recorded choice,
submitted inputs, and the existing effect-result resolver. Fresh
terminal records take precedence over older open-decision cache entries.
Context and account checks keep mismatched or inaccessible records out
of the DOM; no decision-history tab was added to tasks or chat. The
shared company live-run feed now drives live-only filtering, including
ended runs and terminal tasks with stale run entries. All 213 focused
tests, UI typecheck/build, token and whitespace checks pass; the final
focus follow-up passed all 188 task-detail tests and UI typecheck. The
first new navigation test failed because its test host omitted company
context; the host was corrected before the passing run.
- Previous integration head: `375c5e89516705050d94bab99336212841b2e6e1`
merges master `1aa3a21ac` after four additional upstream commits. The
sole conflict was competing imports in `server/src/services/issues.ts`;
both quality-review policy and inbound wake-notice notifications are
preserved. The PR-specific review import now sits beside
execution-policy imports instead of the frequently changing first line.
GitHub mergeability is rechecked after the push.
- On the combined master tree, workspace typecheck/build, all 153
affected UI tests, map validation, and whitespace checks pass. Four
server suites passed 77 tests; the fifth suite's module-import hook
timed out while broad verification was running. Its unchanged isolated
run passed all 41 tests in 7.2 seconds with the original timeout. This
records recovery without claiming the original import-timeout cause is
proven. CI on `375c5e895` passed every substantive job, including all
eight E2E shards and Superagent; Greptile found the two functional gaps
fixed in the current head. A short-lived `669d90876` commit added the
main fixes before the focused navigation follow-up.
- Immediately preceding head `9d9737b49` completed all 56 checks
successfully with four conditional skips, Greptile 5/5 and no open
findings, plus a successful Superagent scan. The signoff E2E shard
passed on its single accepted rerun; its initial cancellation/timing
failure is retained below. Master moved again while those checks ran,
requiring this final integration rather than treating the prior head's
green result as current acceptance.
- Previous head `9d9737b496911a6054d0ea22d1b42b28b115e9ab` includes
master `d30c8f42b842327ee1c18c41a2efd6ba623da5cd`; that head was
subsequently conflicted by moving master. The master merge preserved
durable account-bound writes and Coordinator UX. Workspace
typecheck/build, 416 focused UI tests, and 142 affected comment-route
tests passed. A stable full UI run on preceding head `938ad1665` passed
all 9,833 tests across 836 files; its final full workspace build also
passed.
- Greptile found nested proposal project inheritance and Classic
bound-revision links on `91be74952`. Both were fixed with 142
interaction-route tests, 113 focused UI tests, and UI/server typechecks.
Its next review identified a valid draft-preservation bug in the new
Classic loading UI. Head `9d9737b49` keeps loading/error notices outside
editors and annotations while preserving dirty drafts; 115 focused
review UI tests pass, including pending/failed revision loads and
continued draft editing. All related threads are resolved. Greptile
completed a fresh 5/5 review of
`9d9737b496911a6054d0ea22d1b42b28b115e9ab` with no open findings.
- CI on `938ad1665` exposed an integration regression with the newly
merged durable startup saves: the personal preference gate blocked the
task page before its first session lookup. The guarded title editor now
mounts while that lookup is pending, with presentation-specific tools
still gated. All 216 affected component tests pass. The unchanged
five-test `disconnect-write-recovery.spec.ts` browser suite passes
against a newly launched disposable local-trusted PostgreSQL instance on
port 33219, including the exact failed startup-save journey. No live
provider, hosted authentication or production proof is claimed. The
helper-owned test server exited and the port has no listener. UI
typecheck, built-browser assets, token and whitespace checks pass.
- Initial durable-write merge tests found duplicate imports and unscoped
draft fixtures, fixed before 416 focused tests passed. A sandbox
typecheck could not create its IPC socket; the supported rerun passed.
The first revision-link test used a wrong Return to latest button
assertion, corrected before the 113-test pass. The startup E2E
reproduction initially still failed because an outer shell gate also
blocked the page; the subsequent fix passed all five cases without
changing the test or its timeouts. A focused loading-header assertion
initially used an incorrect fixture title; correcting it preceded the
216-test pass. These failures remain recorded.
- Earlier routing gates fell back to GitHub-hosted runners while master
was moving or conflicted. Superseded queued runs were cancelled, then
the `938ad1665` routing gate explicitly selected the ephemeral RunsOn
fleet. Its CI actively executed and completed most tests; only the
diagnosed startup E2E shard and aggregate failed, alongside the valid
Greptile finding. Auxiliary GitHub-hosted workflows also completed
successfully on earlier heads, so queueing alone is not an
administrative blocker. Fresh [CI on
`9d9737b49`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40744012678)
is the acceptance target; the previously failing startup E2E shard now
passes. A different signoff E2E shard failed during executor
resubmission when its fixture run was cancelled as
`issue_continuation_waiting_on_review`. The exact unchanged journey
passed locally (1 test, 46 seconds), and the preceding head with
identical server/signoff code passed that CI shard. This supports a
bounded rerun but does not establish the timing failure's root cause.
After the workflow finished, GitHub accepted one rerun of that failed
shard and its dependent aggregate; both passed, completing all checks on
that head. The failure log is retained at `/tmp/pr17983-9d9737-e2e7.log`
and the local reproduction at `/tmp/pr17983-signoff-repro.log`. No
assertion or timeout was weakened.
- On the first merge, full workspace typecheck/build, all 9,622 UI
tests, 267 tests across seven affected server suites, two migration
checks, map validation, token gates, and the PR diff whitespace check
passed. Greptile then found duplicate local task-search filtering and
lost completed item-review detail. Both are fixed, with 42 passing
focused UI tests and passing UI typecheck/build.
- A subsequent Greptile review found attachment confirmations without
working links and mobile history without a visible host. Confirmation
layouts now derive the authenticated immutable-content endpoint from the
attachment ID, and Needs You uses the existing full-screen mobile sheet.
All 119 focused tests pass, including missing/stale display URLs, both
review layouts, and both mobile history entry buttons. UI
typecheck/build and token checks pass. Full workspace typecheck/build
also pass after the second master merge.
- Greptile gave head 22f69c304 a 5/5 score with one non-blocking
desktop-history reopening finding. Head 6dd52b6d3 fixed it, passed all
nine history tests, UI typecheck/build, token gates, and the full
9,679-test UI suite, then received a fresh 5/5 review with zero open
findings. These are prior-head results; review on the master-sync commit
is pending.
- The chat and workspace CI jobs on head 22f69c304 were interrupted by
runner shutdown signals and cancellation before completing their tests.
Their logs do not report failing assertions. Those interrupted jobs are
not claimed as passes. The new head starts fresh runs.
- The first merge CI had a Slack session-sync idle assertion fail after
an unexpected database read. Its exact isolated reproduction passes, and
the chat CI shard passed on head 618c5a2a3. The original failure's cause
remains undetermined. The broader local reproduction, run concurrently
with full verification, instead encountered 21 timeout failures across
its two test chunks; it is not claimed as a passing full local server
run. A concurrent local UI run had eight failures (seven timeouts and
one delayed autosave assertion). The complete UI run on the final head
passed all 9,679 tests across 830 files with two workers; no test
timeout or assertion was weakened. This establishes recovery without
claiming that every earlier timeout's cause has been proved. An earlier
intermediate UI run also overlapped the second master merge and failed
the newly added Advanced-sidebar expectation, so it is not treated as
stable-tree evidence. The newly merged UI dependencies initially
required refreshing the local install from the upstream package
manifest; the generated local lockfile update is not committed, per
repository policy.
- Superagent returned neutral/inconclusive scans on the preceding heads
because its pinned merge-base checkout failed or timed out. The
available retry endpoint returned 404. These are not successful security
verdicts. The fresh scan on `91be74952` passed (PR scan passed; no
suspicious PR changes detected). The `938ad1665` scan again returned
neutral/inconclusive with the same pinned merge-base checkout error; the
check-suite rerun endpoint returned 404. The fresh `9d9737b49` scan
completed successfully at 18:22 UTC with no suspicious changes detected.
Earlier neutral scans are not counted as successful security verdicts.
- Prior head `57902152ac3218096fca669d33ff18400a2a86ae` passed 9,618 UI
tests across 826 files, received Greptile 5/5 with no open findings, and
completed CI with 56 passes and four conditional skips. These are
historical results, not acceptance of the latest merge commit.
- The first full build found generated capability-contract drift. The
generated outputs were refreshed. Initial sandbox runs could not open
local IPC sockets; verification was rerun with local test access.
- Current master was merged. The workspace preference migration was
regenerated after the existing migration history.
- The UI run first found two outdated expectations: early custom-answer
validation and the document access error copy. Both were corrected, and
the full UI suite then passed.
- The local server run found three failures in unchanged tests. The Muse
test passes with Python 3.13 instead of the host's Python 3.9. The two
workspace tests pass when their test process uses the expected master
default branch. These environment settings do not change application
behavior or global machine settings. The unsharded server run was
stopped after those reproductions; CI supplies the full sharded server
result. No successful full local server run is claimed.
- Skill inventory generation needs an external eval checkout, which is
absent locally. The existing generator functions refreshed only the live
skill inventory and its derived files. The checked-in eval inventory was
preserved. The inventory validation gate passes.
- Greptile found a dropped MCP review requirement, missing per-item
output links, generic item-review summaries, and a history-refresh
failure. The fixes have 32 passing database-backed server tests and
focused rendered-card tests. A follow-up partial-review finding was
corrected by forwarding the canonical mutation status before settling
the card. Attachments open through the authenticated immutable-content
route in both card layouts. The final focused UI set has 117 passing
tests, including these regressions.
- Both browser shards that first failed expected a disabled-chat
message. The copy was restored, and those shards passed in CI on the
next commit. The two journeys also passed locally. One local attempt
first timed out before feature disable while waiting for the provider's
initial message; its isolated reproduction passed. That earlier timing
failure remains recorded and is not presented as an explained
infrastructure failure.
- Serialized server shard 9 first failed during pnpm setup with
ECONNRESET, before dependencies or tests ran. Its single rerun passed
setup and all tests. The build and production runtime boot passed on the
first attempt, but that run's public-install step timed out during Pi
setup. The single build-job rerun passed compilation, runtime boot, and
clean public-install verification. Those setup scripts are unchanged by
this PR. The successful retry establishes recovery; the earlier Pi
timeout's underlying cause remains undetermined. The aggregate CI gate
is green: [workflow
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40637789695).

</details>

## Risks

- This touches shared task, interaction, and completion paths.
Regression tests must cover classic and experimental behavior,
authorization, duplicate answers, and stale review targets.
- The additive preference table must migrate before the setting is used.
The setting defaults off.
- The experiment changes navigation and message presentation. Canonical
task and document records remain the source of truth.
- The initial task brief and saved plan can repeat information. This
change fixes chronology; a broader redundancy policy remains a design
decision.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 Codex with reasoning and tool-assisted code editing, tests,
and browser verification. Earlier iterations used Codex models in this
task; their exact model IDs are not available in the current context.

d30c8f42b8 feat(ui): keep writes durable through temporary disconnects (#17960)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/123/changes/paperclip/123
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People save tasks, write documents, make decisions and send board
messages.
> - A disconnect can hide a response after the server accepts a write.
> - Recovery must keep the original account, task and request key.
> - The merged connection foundation in #15754 handles reads and shared
outage state.
> - This change adds bounded write recovery and explicit actions when
recovery stops.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Temporary failures could lose edits, report accepted writes as failures,
or require people to copy and send input again. A retry could target a
newly selected task or account. Restoring attachments could create a
second task.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the draft, its owner and its target. Retry only operations with a
server contract that prevents duplicate writes. Verify uncertain
results. Show conflicts and permanent failures, with an explicit resend
or cancel action.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Save a task title during an outage, then open another task before
recovery.
2. Restore a task creation that needs files, selecting those files in
another order.
3. Lose a document or decision response, then interrupt the verification
read.
4. Switch accounts while a create, upload or connected-channel
publication is pending.
5. Type and erase a new-task draft before the first account lookup
completes, then reopen it.

This PR carries the write layer from #15769 and its review fixes. It
targets master after #15754 merged. Related test cleanup #16952 already
covers the unchanged copy-link toast test; this PR does not duplicate
that work.

## What Changed

- Add bounded autosave and submit jobs for supported writes, with
pending, conflict and manual retry states. Retain admitted autosaves
after navigation and preserve newer task revisions.
- Keep each job with its original account, task and operation. First
account resolution adopts admitted startup work; a later account change
cancels old work. Remount inline and document editors when their owner
or document subject changes.
- Preserve task-creation keys and immutable request snapshots through
file reattachment. Restore generated document keys before comparing
reselected files. Reject changed requests instead of creating a second
task.
- Check the original account scope before creates and each upload. Save
successful upload receipts before stopping on an account change.
Identify attachments by content digest and metadata.
- Verify uncertain document and decision results. Replay only plain,
keyed comments automatically; combined reassignment, reopen and
run-setting changes require receipt reconciliation or cancel. Settle
each request once when a receipt races its retry.
- Scope drafts and connected-channel publication reads to their owner.
Keep unowned older records unread and unreplayed, with an explicit
confirmed discard action after Activity inspection. Preserve typing
through the first session lookup, keep erased text erased, and report
browser persistence only when storage succeeds.
- Wait for the first account lookup before sending startup status
changes or decisions. Retry failed required lookups with a fixed limit
and surface exhaustion to the original action. Preserve uncertain
comment keys on account cancellation. Check the account generation
before a comment retry calls its sender and again immediately before
POST after asynchronous preparation. Retire only that request’s
optimistic echo on completion.
- Return an ordinary comment’s accepted same-company, same-task,
same-user receipt before workspace reopening, task status changes or
wakeups. Reused keys with changed text still conflict. Complete
reference and activity records through the same finalizer for initial
sends and accepted retries. It locks the task before its comment,
matching task and company deletion, comment removal and tombstoning,
rejects removed or tombstoned comments, repairs references and inserts a
missing activity record in one transaction, and publishes after commit.
- Remove reader-only record and comment-body size caps so accepted
browser writes remain readable, including JSON-escaped comment requests
in local and session storage. Update four existing Storybook fixtures to
use owned draft keys.
- Document the write contracts and add regression and real browser
recovery coverage.

- Add the exact reviewed-save recovery regression for both composer
implementations and reloads. Align receipt completion, both comment
deletion methods and company deletion with task deletion by locking
tasks first. Cover real task and company deletion races.

## Verification

- The exact reviewed-unknown-save regression fails in all four cases on
original commit `1ed0af4186`. It passes with this PR for both composers,
before and after reload. Cancel keeps the text and uploaded receipt. The
retained draft sends, and the next message also sends. Run `pnpm exec
vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui
ui/src/components/composer-recovery.test.tsx`.
- The new real PostgreSQL task-deletion race fails with SQLSTATE `40P01`
on parent commit `f3253a00c4`. The company-deletion race also fails with
`40P01` on `e8cf0e02dd`. All six receipt tests pass after the final
lock-order fixes. They cover company deletion, task deletion, comment
removal, tombstoning, concurrent cross-task references and interrupted
reference repair. Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project
@paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/issue-comment-receipt-postgres.test.ts`.
- The full UI run passed 9,656 of 9,659 tests across 816 files. Three
cases failed under that run: two large-tree timeouts and one
plugin-panel assertion. All 67 tests in those two files passed in an
isolated rerun. These failures remain recorded; this does not claim a
clean full UI run.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, token gates and map checks pass on
the final change. The local full repository test command was started,
then stopped when the delivery moved to this existing PR. Fresh PR CI
must provide the full-suite gate.
- A local Storybook walkthrough used the real rich editor. Cancel kept
the restored text, Send cleared it after the simulated save, and a new
draft enabled Send again. Storybook simulates submission; it is not
staging acceptance.
- Earlier verification on `f3253a00c4` recorded five browser journeys
for title saves, cached-task offline recovery, startup recovery,
accepted comment replay and session lookup failure. Those results remain
prior-head evidence. No new staging deployment is claimed.

- On `e8cf0e02dd`, all CI checks passed after one browser-shard rerun.
Its first failure copied page text instead of YAML in an unrelated
agent-configuration test. On final commit `35131d4380`, Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved review threads. The first CI attempt has two failures
outside this diff: runner close-attachment suspension and
scheduled-retry teardown. The scheduled-retry file passes all 14 tests
in isolation; the isolated runner test still fails locally. The single
standard CI rerun passed both jobs, and the aggregate verification gate
passed. All CI checks are green on `35131d4380`; Apex is 5/5 on that
same commit with no unresolved findings.

## Risks

- Automatic replay requires server duplicate prevention or result
verification. Uncertain combined mutations require receipt observation
or cancel and a fresh intentional send.
- Old unowned form drafts remain stored but are not assigned to an
account. Unowned channel records can be retired after Activity
inspection; this never cancels an accepted remote update.
- Browser storage and hashing can be unavailable. Storage failure is
reported honestly. Without a digest, replay can duplicate an upload
rather than silently drop a selected file.
- Detached autosaves remain bounded and check account ownership on each
attempt. Conflicts or exhaustion retain the draft for explicit recovery.
- No schema, credential or agent permission change is included. This PR
does not claim staging deployment or original-task acceptance.

## Model Used

Anthropic Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`) produced the original
implementation with tool use. OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, assisted with
restoration, integration, verification and review fixes. This Codex
session does not expose its exact serving model ID or context window
size.

DottaandPaperclip f52da40f08 fix: resume queued turns after maintenance (#17967)
Keep an accepted turn's starting input in task history, show its admission wait, and resume existing queued runs promptly when maintenance ends or expires.

Verified with behavioral red/green regressions, real PostgreSQL and process execution, browser/native Runner acceptance with a deterministic provider, workspace typecheck, production build, and current-head CI/review.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip c7c12dbc79 Support plugin panels in task sidebars (#17796)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task side panels keep live work beside the conversation.
> - Plugins can already provide agent detail tabs.
> - Those tabs have no generic way to appear beside the task that is
using the agent.
> - This pull request adds an optional task-side-panel declaration to
agent detail tabs.
> - The plugin owns the label, component and availability. Core supplies
the task's running agent.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Access to plugin-contributed live views from task chat.

**Subsystem affected**

Plugin manifest validation, slot discovery, and task side-panel
UI/state.

**Current behavior**

Agent detail-tab contributions appear on agent pages. A task cannot
offer the same view through a plugin-owned availability decision.

**Proposed behavior**

An agent detail tab can declare `taskSidePanel: { availabilityPath }`.
Core substitutes the running agent into the plugin-local path. A
declared board GET route scoped to that agent returns `{ available:
boolean }`. Available contributions appear in desktop and mobile task
side panels.

**Reason and benefit**

Keep the task and its live plugin views together. Preserve plugin
ownership of provider protocols and product behavior. Core contains no
concrete plugin identifiers, routes, labels or readiness rules.

**Breaking changes**

None. The field is optional. Existing contributions remain unchanged.
Missing, disabled or unavailable plugins add no panel.

**Additional context**

Related: #17111 established the agent detail-tab and scoped API
extension surfaces. Roadmap and related PR searches found no duplicate
of this extension.

## What Changed

- Extend the manifest with optional task-panel metadata. Validate safe
plugin-local paths and require a declared board GET route with
agent-scoped authorization.
- Discover and load only opted-in agent contributions. Poll their
generic availability responses and mount the existing components with
agent context.
- Add generic panel tabs, launcher entries, dismissal and inactive-view
removal in desktop/mobile task chat.
- Reuse the existing live-run polling guard so idle tasks with a healthy
live connection stop polling.
- Add provider-neutral fixtures, schema/authorization tests, task tests
and SDK/feature documentation.

## Verification

- PASS: 301 focused tests including the full task-detail file, generic
panel discovery, persistence, slot loading and manifest validation.
Regressions cover POST-before-GET route order, mobile drawer dismissal,
recovery without focus and the absence of the hidden desktop task panel
on mobile.
- PASS: UI and shared-package typechecks; production UI build; token
gates, feature-map and module-boundary checks; diff and secrets/PII
review.
- PASS on final head: all 795 UI files / 9,186 tests, and all 95
shared-package files / 1,038 tests. Commands: `node
node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --project @paperclipai/ui
--maxWorkers 3` and the corresponding `--project @paperclipai/shared`
command with local socket access.
- On the final head, server shards 7/12 and 10/12 and workspace shard
a-1/2 were interrupted by runner shutdown/communication loss. GitHub
reported infrastructure failures; no assertion failure was surfaced in
the available diagnostics. The queued summary was cancelled, then `gh
run rerun --failed` successfully requested retries for only those three
jobs. They are currently queued for CI runners; the 50 successful checks
remain passing. Interrupted attempts are not counted as passing.
[Final-head CI and
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40396870920).
- Earlier verification exposed an empty-panel rerender loop, which was
fixed. The sandboxed combined run also failed five shared port-registry
tests because it could not bind loopback listeners; the full shared
rerun with socket access passed. These earlier failures are retained
here rather than reported as passing runs.
- Full workspace typecheck/build were attempted with pinned pnpm 9 after
resolving the initial local package-manager setup. Both stop at the
unchanged Runner Rust step because `cargo` is not installed. Full local
workspace checks are not reported as passing; final CI must provide
those broader checks.
- No live provider or plugin-specific transport acceptance is claimed by
Core's synthetic fixtures.

## Risks

- Availability is polled every three seconds only while an authorized
running agent exists. Plugins own the side effects and meaning of that
read.
- A view uses the running agent's context. It is not a separate per-task
resource.
- Optional metadata adds no backend endpoint or permission bypass. The
host requires existing board and agent authorization.
- Reverting the optional contract and UI integration removes task panels
without a data migration.

execution. The exact backend snapshot ID and context window size are not

DottaandPaperclip a67a18c171 fix(tasks): hide empty message history disclosure (#17751)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Each task page shows the instruction and saved conversation.
> - Cold opens show recent content before older history.
> - The page used any linked run as evidence of older messages.
> - A task's first run therefore showed an empty More messages control.
> - This PR shows the control only when the preview omits comments or
runs.
> - Fresh tasks stay clear, and older task history remains available.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #17593.

**What happened?**

A fresh task with only its first run displayed More messages, even
though there was no earlier history to load.

**Expected behavior**

Show More messages only when older comments or runs are omitted. Runs
observed while the page stays open must not create a false disclosure.
The output control also uses actual skipped bytes, so a growing run does
not gain an empty output control.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a task and let its first run start or finish.
2. Open that task with a fresh application cache.
3. Observe the empty More messages control below its instruction.

## What Changed

- Keep omitted-run evidence with the cached recent run window.
- Use omitted comments or runs to decide whether to show More messages.
- Preserve run retention, reconnect reconciliation, and expansion of
real history.
- Offer More run output when a single legacy log exceeds the compact
byte window.
- Keep first-run native diagnostics accessible through More task actions
→ Show task activity.
- Add regression coverage and update the task feature map.

## Verification

- Passed the existing 9,168-test UI suite across 794 files, then all 504
focused task-detail, history-window, real thread, and log-transport
tests after adding the activity-menu regression.
- Passed workspace build, workspace typechecks, token gates, and map
checks.
- Reproduced the bug in the earlier UI using a disposable local task.
The corrected UI hides the control with zero runs or only the first run.
- In the local browser, expanded a long task to all 80 comments. The
latest answer appeared once and the disclosure disappeared. No console
warnings or errors occurred in that journey.
- Expanded a saved 111 KB legacy log through More run output and opened
its earlier activity in the local browser.
- On a single saved native run, verified no More messages control. Used
Show task activity to reveal its earlier tool output; the latest answer
remained visible exactly once, with no console warnings or errors.
- The first broad local run stopped because the fresh dependency install
lacked PostgreSQL library symlinks. The normal package setup repaired
that environment issue.
- The next broad run hit one workspace-runtime timeout. Its focused
rerun passed with unchanged server source; the original failure remains
recorded. Stopped the already-failed broad runner after the previous
revision passed full PR CI. All final-head build, typecheck, test, and
policy CI jobs passed. Both automated reviewers scored the final head
5/5, with no unresolved threads. The separate Entire Gates check is
pending because the PR has no active assessed Change for its current
comparison. The installed Entire CLI reports no linked project trail and
exposes no Change-assessment command; no gate or repository settings
were altered. Browser verification used this branch's UI with the
existing disposable test-drive API. No agent execution was started.

## Risks

Low risk. This changes the recent run cache shape and the disclosure
condition. The full run cache remains an array. Tests cover first-run
states, observed new runs, omitted older runs, expansion, and reconnect
reconciliation. No schema or API changes. A separate run-output control
preserves access to a single truncated legacy log. The task menu
preserves first-run native activity access without implying older
messages exist.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code execution and browser tools. A
more specific model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip a1f77821b9 perf(tasks): show recent conversation before historical activity (#17593)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task page must show the instruction and current conversation
quickly.
> - The current page waits for related task data and historical run
transcripts.
> - These reads grow with task history, even when the reader only needs
the latest answer.
> - This pull request gives cold opens a small initial view and loads
older history on demand.
> - Messages and runs observed while the page stays open remain visible.
> - The benefit is a readable task before historical diagnostics finish
loading.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #14667 and #16229. The first changes the reveal gate and scroll
anchors. The second adds general history pagination. This PR adds a core
task read and a folded recent-conversation view. It preserves the
default full-read API contracts. The shared files will need coordination
if either related PR lands first.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Cold opening an ordinary task with a long conversation or large run
logs.

**Current behavior**

Task enrichment and historical transcripts delay the readable
conversation. A cold open can fetch several megabytes of tool activity
before revealing saved messages.

**Proposed behavior**

Show the task instruction, recent saved replies, latest human input, and
the latest run's conversation data first. Fetch older messages and full
run activity when the reader chooses **More messages**. Retain new
messages while the page stays open.

## What Changed

- Add an authorized core issue view that skips related enrichment. Keep
enrichment on the existing detail read. Share task mutation, rollback
and invalidation updates with the core cache.
- Add a bounded recent-comment read. Preserve the first human
instruction when no description exists, including legacy rows with a
NULL author type. Keep company and task access checks and comment
redaction.
- Add optional recent activity and run-summary views. Fetch original
input receipts for visible comments separately so delivered messages
stay out of the queue. Reconcile watched unfinished runs after a
reconnect beyond the preview window, removing deleted runs after
reconciliation.
- Filter the latest native run's initial events to assistant messages,
request lifecycles and terminal results. Full event reads remain
available on expansion. Legacy fallback reads use a small tail extended
to the first complete record. HTTP cancellation aborts the storage read.
- Retain observed messages across cursor catch-up and new runs. Apply
local cancellation and deletion to both caches and their task aliases.
Refetch locally seeded history pages on expansion. Preserve expansion
across identifier and UUID links. Keep deep links, classic tasks and
Agent Chat on their existing full-history path.
- Update API documentation, design guidance, capability maps and
regression coverage.

## Verification

- Final acceptance on `9ea0b15ae44d9f6d2c9a9f824b4835f299f92979`: all CI
gates passed, including server/UI tests, all eight browser shards,
runner checks, full typecheck and build. [Final CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40326990328).
GitHub reports 55 successful checks, two intentionally skipped checks,
and one neutral Paperclip Review check described below. No checks are
pending or failed; Greptile is 5/5 and no review threads remain open.
- October 26 merge update: merged current `master`. The only conflict
was in task-page imports; both the compact-history hook and the new
live-update hooks remain. All CI tests and build jobs passed on
`044fd6733d`. Fresh review found canceled-comment cache drift, legacy
human-comment filtering, send-then-expand truncation, and partial legacy
log records. These defects were fixed in `af3d66a5bd`.
- Review-fix verification: 470 tests pass across ten affected suites,
including all six PostgreSQL cold-open tests without a helper override.
Cancellation/delete and send-then-expand regression tests failed before
the fixes and pass afterward. Coverage includes task identifier/UUID
reopen, stale in-flight reads, legacy NULL author types, local-file and
object-storage tails cut inside UTF-8 text, route forwarding, and
request cancellation. Full workspace typecheck and production build,
token gates, map validation and diff checks pass.
- Follow-up review found that a failed expanded legacy read lost its
record-alignment state on retry. `9ea0b15ae4` commits the expanded
window only after a successful read. The new regression fails before the
fix and passes afterward; all 19 transcript tests, UI typecheck, UI
build and token gates pass. Greptile reviewed this commit at 5/5 with no
actionable findings, and all review threads are resolved.
- The final Paperclip Review check ended neutral because its execution
did not complete; no passing Paperclip assessment is claimed. Its
earlier four concrete findings were fixed and regression-tested.
Greptile and the security scans completed successfully on the final
commit.
- The preceding `af3d66a5bd` CI run was canceled when superseded by the
retry fix. Its server shard 11 check briefly reported failure, but the
job API records cancellation and its test step passed all 1,750 tests.
This superseded run is not used as final CI acceptance.
- 549 focused tests pass on the final implementation across nine task
UI, activity-route, OpenAPI and PostgreSQL suites. These cover pending
history, desktop/mobile visibility, expansion, retained runs, message
bursts, cancellation recovery and queued-comment removal in both views.
- Legacy expansion keeps the latest answer visible while fetching and
deduplicating older output.
- Five PostgreSQL tests pass for core access denial, recent comments,
missing-description instructions, event paging and bounded activity/run
reads. macOS could not start another PostgreSQL cluster because it
exhausted its semaphore limit. These tests used a separate disposable
database on an existing local server through a temporary test setup
override. The helper was restored afterward.
- Full workspace typecheck and build pass with the final state fixes, as
do token gates and capability-map validation.
- Token gates, capability-map validation and `git diff --check` pass.
- Browser proof used a disposable task with 80 comments and six large
run histories. The cold view showed the instruction and recent exchange.
**More messages** revealed older comments. Navigation away and back
preserved expansion.
- Local HTTP sample: core 50 ms, recent comments 24 ms, recent run
summaries 17 ms. The latest native conversation response was 839 JSON
characters / 8 ms; its full event response was 1,099,005 / 86 ms.
Browser content paint was 1.34 seconds with development assets cached.
These are local observations, not staging latency claims.
- The first CI run passed every job except four board-send browser cases
and the review threshold. Those browser fixtures only mocked the old
comments endpoint; they now serve both recent and full reads, retaining
all message and attachment assertions. Both initial review findings were
fixed with regression tests. The next CI run passed every job. The
deeper review identified core-cache mutation, older delivery receipt and
retained run-status gaps; those are now fixed with regression coverage.
Final review is 5/5 with zero unresolved findings. Final-head CI
initially failed one unchanged runner shutdown test
(`runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`, timeout-attachment case) with
`NativeSessionCloseUnrecoverableError`; all other CI jobs passed. The
same runner code passed on 971a762f80. A targeted local reproduction
also failed during provider drain. The failure is outside the changed
task loading paths; its underlying cause remains unresolved. The single
failed-job retry passed on the same head; this demonstrates recovery,
not a root-cause fix. All CI gates passed on the previous implementation
head `9004f94f28`: [CI run and
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40192334629).
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped after repeated embedded
PostgreSQL startup failures. The native session suite recorded 15
database-related failures; other database suites could not start. No
complete local suite pass is claimed.

## Risks

- The compact view intentionally omits older diagnostics until
expansion. Existing open questions and approvals still use the current
interaction and run paths.
- Previously observed comment and activity rows remain cached while
open. The newest preview and incoming cursor pages refresh; this does
not add a general historical-edit synchronization protocol.
- Recent views are optional. Existing full API callers retain their
response shape and behavior. No migration is required.
- A legacy tail can exceed the requested byte limit by the prefix of its
first log record. Backward reads stop at the preceding record boundary
and honor cancellation.
- Staging has not been deployed or qualified with this change. Instance
startup latency is separate from task history loading.
- The related open PRs touch the same task-history files.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository editing, shell
tools and browser testing. The exact serving model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 5c7a025032 fix(ui): clear consumed messages from the pending queue (#16317)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task conversations keep follow-up messages pending while an agent
works.
> - The screen combines optimistic sends, queue snapshots, and run input
records.
> - A late send response can restore a local queue flag after a run
takes the message.
> - A stale queue snapshot can then keep the same message in pending.
> - This pull request matches the input record to its source queue and
clears stale pending flags.
> - The benefit is that consumed messages leave pending while unsent
messages stay visible.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A follow-up can remain in the task composer's pending row after a run
takes it as input. Local queue state can outlive the send request. The
old projection cleared that state for steering, but not for ordinary
run-start input. A stale queue read can also retain the consumed entry.

**Expected behavior**

A message that a started run takes as input appears once in history and
leaves pending. Other pending messages remain available. A message
assigned to a run that has not started remains pending.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Send a follow-up while a task has a live run.
2. Let a started run record that message as input before or after the
send response arrives.
3. Let a queue read still include the consumed message.
4. Observe the message remain pending on the base revision.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master at `33d24e48ad` with controlled request
ordering.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout. Browser verification used the production task screen
with a simulated native runner and delayed API responses. It did not run
a live model or change a deployed instance.

Related: [PR
#15030](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15030) addresses
acknowledgement matching in the runner console. This change addresses
the task-detail composer and does not modify that console.

## What Changed

- Clear local pending flags when a started run records the comment as
input.
- Use live-run input IDs while the run-history query catches up.
- Match stale queue entries by their primary or coalesced source wake
ID, even when the snapshot targets the previous run or has no target.
- Retain coalesced source queue IDs in run context and include receipt
IDs in compact task run reads.
- Keep unstarted run inputs and authoritative retries pending. Cover
send ordering, same-run and successor delivery, queued snapshots,
coalesced inputs, and retry consumption.
- Add the delivery-race checks to the steering feature map.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the first four request-order regressions failed with
the consumed message still in pending. Coverage now includes 16
combinations of receipt source, send-response order, and stale snapshot
kind.
- Focused UI checks: 5 files and 233 tests passed. These cover task
detail, queue projection, optimistic comments, queued-message controls,
and the task-chat adapter.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- Server receipt checks: 5 files and 139 tests passed with
`PAPERCLIP_TEST_POSTGRES_TEMPLATE=0`. These exercise real database
reads, coalesced heartbeat input, and polling routes. The default
cached-template path timed out during setup on this host; the
fresh-cluster path passed without longer timeouts.
- Token gates and `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passed.
- Browser: sent a follow-up with a delayed response in the production
task screen. The consumed message moved into history. A second unsent
follow-up stayed queued. Reload preserved both states. The API and
runner were simulated.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- The full local repository test run was started, then stopped to
isolate database setup timeouts. All 55 GitHub CI checks passed on
`4ec6820cf1f89880b801fd5f938d72f54591c5e2`, including the full test
matrix. One serialized server shard passed on its single rerun after a
15-second route-test timeout; the same 97-test route suite also passed
locally.
- Greptile reviewed the final head at 5/5. All review threads are
resolved.

## Risks

- Queue display depends on matching comment IDs, source queue IDs, and a
recorded start time. Rows without start evidence stay pending. Newer
queues remain visible until their own input receipt arrives.
- Run context gains additive receipt metadata. No schema migration is
required. Dispatch order, stored queue state, company access, and
steering authority stay unchanged.
- Browser evidence covers controlled response ordering. It does not
establish deployment or live-provider behavior.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code execution. The
exact serving model ID and context-window limit are not exposed in this
session.

DottaandPaperclip b8ffeb973a feat(runner): add experimental Grok Bot agent participation (#16219)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents that perform work for a company.
> - The shared Runner owns task admission, authority, receipts and
finalization.
> - An existing Grok Bot needs to receive assignments and return results
through that Runner.
> - The Bot also needs governed access when it starts work from its own
conversation.
> - This PR adds agent-purpose MCP access and routine webhook dispatch.
> - It reuses the external-agent Rust Runner and keeps Grok capabilities
explicit.
> - The provider stays experimental until the real-client managed
journeys pass.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Agent or provider**
Grok Bot, distinct from the Grok Build coding runtime in #13882.

**Why this adapter is useful**
Users can assign work to an existing Bot, receive progress, questions,
documents and files in Paperclip, and let the Bot initiate work under
its agent permissions.

**How the agent is invoked**
A webhook-only routine delivers bounded references. Dedicated
named-agent OAuth and MCP provide inbound calls. Setup follows [Grok
routines](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/routines) and [custom
plugins](https://cursor.com/help/grok-bot/connect-plugins). The current
desktop app needs its Bot-generated Webhook URL navigation link when
routine-row clicks fail.

The GitHub search found related Grok Build runtime work, but no existing
Grok Bot agent provider. This extends the roadmap’s existing agent,
Runner, governance and artifact foundations.

## What Changed

- Add default-off Grok Bot participation through the shared real Rust
external backend, preserving native provider identity guarantees and
distinguishing session closure from remote termination.
- Bind agent OAuth to company, agent, client, gateway and authorizer;
recheck permissions and task-bound execution authority without
manufacturing a native identity.
- Persist routine configuration, dispatch intents, authenticated
acknowledgement and recovery holds. Store URL/key together in encrypted
secret storage, use guarded public egress, and never automatically
replay ambiguous HTTP delivery.
- Reuse native tools, durable waiting, completion assessment and review.
Add task-bound file grants through existing artifact storage; suppress
proactive echo dispatch and synchronous result wake loops.
- Enforce the current native deliverable work-mode policy at file-ticket
issuance and use. Add operator retries for confirmed rejected wakes,
with retained receipts, stable retry intent and current-authority
checks. Recovery locks bindings before routine rows. Thread Stop
resolves the selected run and its agent.
- Cancel queued and preparing Stop targets before assignment creation,
restore saved setup after a failed request and successful retry, and
publish the Grok provider descriptor schema. Advance the versioned
Copilot source declaration for the shared schema change; its
qualification remains pending.
- Filter task summaries with the shared privacy policy, preserve
feedback admission when wake delivery is blocked, reconcile settled
delivery receipts without restoring work authority, and bind every Stop
control to its displayed run. Recovery records distinguish dispatch
uncertainty from a revoked session.
- Add resumable guided setup, credential replacement, consent,
management, observed work status and stop/recovery controls, plus an
interactive Storybook journey using the production task thread, question
form and report card. Grok’s own apps remain available; Paperclip
workspace and third-party tools are deferred.

## Verification

- Five focused protocol, authorization, person MCP and Runner files: 192
tests pass. The Grok assigned-work case executes the actual Rust Runner,
saves a document, uploads/deduplicates a file and reaches ordinary
finalization.
- Proactive intake/deduplication and renewed-session recovery pass.
These use scripted clients and synthetic storage; they are not
real-provider acceptance.
- Repository typecheck, production build, token gates, map checks and
Storybook build/catalog checks pass. The local full-suite campaign was
stopped after macOS shared-memory exhaustion repeatedly prevented
embedded PostgreSQL startup. No local aggregate pass is claimed. The
first clean-worker CI run identified avatar fixture/configuration, flag
defaults, feature-card ordering and OpenAPI route-coverage gaps; all
four focused regressions pass after correction. Those regressions pass.
The latest clean-worker CI run also found a Copilot source-hash
declaration mismatch after the shared descriptor update; the corrected
declaration passes all 28 integrity tests. The next review corrections
pass 144 rendered UI tests, 21 OpenAPI tests and 82 Runner
contract/integrity/history tests. The latest database fixtures were
blocked at startup by host shared-memory exhaustion; clean-worker CI
must execute their new regressions. Full current-head CI now passes: 54
successful checks and four intentional skips. The database regression
uses the PostgreSQL driver result shape; file-policy, rejected-feedback
and lock-order cases pass on clean workers. Current-head Greptile is 5/5
with no unresolved findings.
- Rendered setup steps and outbound-only verification were walked
through in Storybook. Simulation cannot enable Done without an
authenticated-reply state.
- Actual client OAuth, continued access, reconnect and one routine wake
with an exact chat acknowledgement were observed separately. This
candidate’s live authenticated challenge, assigned/proactive workflows,
Linux managed artifact, restart and cleanup are not yet qualified. The
provider stays disabled by default.
- The separate Cloud ingress change forwards only exact task-bound
upload/download paths and preserves host identity and header stripping.
- Current Cloud policy reserves Test for pre-merge app/harness
experiments; Staging accepts only master-derived revisions. Real-client
qualification needs a supported, authorized deployment target and
remains outstanding.

## Risks

One append-only migration adds routine/dispatch state and extends shared
bindings and file tickets. The unshipped migrations were regenerated
after upstream consumed their original numbers. Rolling back code
retains the durable rows; revoke grants and inspect unknown remote
activity before resuming dispatch. Grok cannot confirm remote
termination, stream its complete transcript or report spending. Plugins
are account-wide and do not isolate credentials between Bots.
Real-client managed acceptance remains required before enabling the
experimental provider.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6, with reasoning, code execution and
browser/native UI tools. The exact deployment model ID and
context-window size are not exposed by this runtime.

DottaandPaperclip dabb8c5daf test: remove repeated setup and strengthen regression proof (#16022)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its tests protect company boundaries, approvals, durable tasks,
credentials and the board UI.
> - Several owner suites repeat large database fixtures and render
frames.
> - Some tests repeat stronger proof or pass when the behavior they
describe is broken.
> - This pull request shares exact setup, removes proven duplicate cases
and repairs weak observations.
> - It preserves distinct security, lifecycle, concurrency and
user-facing contracts.
> - The benefit is 5,027 fewer test lines and stronger regression
checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15978. This continues the merged test-audit cleanup in [PR
#15978](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/15978), which
removed 11,976 test/support lines. The savings in this pull request are
additional.

Related open work: [PR
#13460](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13460) changes
legacy OAuth parent/version lock ordering. This pull request retains
those production paths and the existing lock-order test. Its secrets
changes compact fixtures and repair the two AWS wrapper exclusion
observations.

Scoped title searches found no open duplicate audit or
fixture-consolidation PR and no matching audit issue. The problem is
described here using the enhancement template.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The maintenance and regression value of the existing server, UI, CLI,
shared and wiki-plugin test suites.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting test code. Two UI modules also lose unused test inspection
exports.

**Current behavior**

Owner tests repeat database rows, service inputs, HTTP setup and render
frames. Some cases repeat stronger assertions. Two AWS lock tests record
only cleanup events, so an AWS provider write can happen inside the held
lock without failing those observations. Several other negative tests
accept or do not observe the wrong result. Worktree fixtures also use a
temporary path alias that conflicts with the existing canonical-path
checks on macOS.

**Proposed behavior**

Use small local helpers that preserve exact inputs, fresh allocations,
callbacks, query order and await positions. Remove only cases with named
stronger keepers. Tighten negative assertions and observe actual AWS
provider entry while a confirmed lock holder remains parked. Resolve
temporary fixture roots to their canonical paths.

**Reason and benefit**

Remove 5,027 net test lines and 15 redundant registered executions.
Remove 11 lines of unused UI inspection exports. Keep every distinct
company, actor, approval, credential, persistence, stale-write and
concurrency contract. No wall-time speedup is claimed for setup
compaction.

**Breaking changes**

None for application behavior, APIs or stored data. The removed exports
expose private UI test state and have no remaining callers.

## What Changed

- Consolidate repeated runtime, workspace, portability, route,
tool-access, policy, gateway and state-service fixtures.
- Share repeated UI render frames and CLI/wiki-plugin setup while
retaining the original actions and expected results.
- Remove 15 repeated case executions only where the audit records an
exact stronger keeper.
- Repair weak HTTP/UI negative assertions and two AWS account-home lock
observations. Keep the existing durable results and cleanup behavior.
- Remove the unused `__inflightGetCount` and `__secondTickInternals`
inspection exports. Keep observable request coalescing and ticker
lifecycle checks.
- Canonicalize temporary worktree fixture paths without weakening
production path checks.
- Record the owner decisions, savings, independent preservation reviews
and validation in [the dated audit
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/58c5c4aa241c85f4665a3159c192888bbb2a5cfa/doc/plans/2026-10-12-test-audit-rounds.md)
and [the compact control
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/58c5c4aa241c85f4665a3159c192888bbb2a5cfa/doc/plans/2026-10-12-test-audit-controls.json).

## Verification

- Complete owner and retained-sibling baselines passed before each audit
cutover. Independent reviewers checked the full original tests, actual
helper bodies, exact inputs, receipt provenance, async order, fresh
allocations and case registrations.
- All 14 UI/route/wiki mutations failed at their intended assertions:
ten UI/API/ticker controls, one route control and three wiki
persistence/receipt controls. Each mutated production source was
restored to its exact original bytes.
- Both old AWS lock tests passed with their respective AWS-only lock
bypass. Both repaired tests failed at the intended assertions with the
same bypasses. These give 16 intended failures and two passing weak
controls across 18 executions. Each source was restored exactly.
- Final complete state-owner/sibling run: 329/329 passed at code
revision `64370831ebe191e5ce092f85f79b6fb661df7e16`.
- Final `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm check:token-gates` and `pnpm build`:
passed at the same code revision.
- Delivery head `58c5c4aa241c85f4665a3159c192888bbb2a5cfa` includes the
evidence commit and master `4b766b872993045a2e787404f0475503683e5ded`.
All 27 audited test files and both application files match the locally
verified code revision byte-for-byte. Current-head CI validates the
integrated branch, including the incoming master changes.
- All eight production-owner SHA guards for the 16 deliberate failing
mutation controls still match the integrated delivery checkout. The
mutation receipts therefore apply to those current owners.
- Full default `pnpm test:run`: **failed** with exit 1 at frozen code
revision `64370831ebe191e5ce092f85f79b6fb661df7e16`; HEAD and tracked
source bytes remained unchanged. The first general-server group reported
878 passing files, four failing files and six skipped files; 17,846
passing cases, 24 failing cases and 105 skipped cases. Later groups did
not run. Failures were `http-log-redaction` (socket hangup),
`public-mcp` (initial 15-second timeout followed by hosted token
“Refresh before subscribing” failures), `remove-test-home` (macOS
`ENOTEMPTY` where permission errors were expected, plus cleanup
failure), and `workspace-git-snapshot-streaming` (300-second timeout).
All four failing test files and the relevant cleanup/MCP production
owners are unchanged by this audit. Full local success is not claimed.
- Focused complete-owner diagnosis at the same frozen revision: 149/152
passed, three failed, zero skipped. `public-mcp` passed 82/82 and
`http-log-redaction` passed 66/66 unchanged. The two `remove-test-home`
cases reproduced macOS `ENOTEMPTY` against an expected `EACCES`/`EPERM`
contract; the 32 MiB workspace snapshot case reproduced its existing
300,000 ms timeout. HEAD and tracked files stayed clean. Exact blob
comparison confirmed all four test files and the relevant cleanup/MCP
owners match both inspected master
`4b766b872993045a2e787404f0475503683e5ded` and the frozen local
revision. The three remaining local failures are unresolved; no timeout,
retry or assertion was weakened.
- Current-head CI: [workflow
38299262149](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38299262149)
has passed runner selection and created all downstream
test/typecheck/build gates; those gates are queued, with no failures
reported. Greptile completed successfully at
`58c5c4aa241c85f4665a3159c192888bbb2a5cfa` with [5/5 and zero
comments](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/16022#issuecomment-6131457592).
All review threads are resolved or absent. This pull request will remain
open after verification.

Reviewers can reproduce the required workspace checks:

```sh
pnpm -r typecheck
pnpm check:token-gates
pnpm test:run
pnpm build
```

Browser suites were not run. Their sources and user journeys are
unchanged by this audit.

## Risks

- A fixture helper can hide a specialized input or change object
freshness. Full-program expansion checks and independent reviews
preserve the exact old inputs and execution order.
- Removing duplicate proof can remove a distinct contract by mistake.
The audit records the keeper for each deletion; all distinct security
and lifecycle cases remain.
- Concurrency checks can miss progress during a fixed delay. The AWS
repairs record actual provider entry, confirm holder entry, use measured
entry windows, require exact final event order and drain both operations
in `finally`.
- The full local default run failed. Focused diagnosis reproduced two
macOS cleanup failures and one existing snapshot timeout in unchanged
owners; these remain unresolved. Current-head CI is pending. No test
deadline, retry policy, skip or CI shard was weakened to obtain a pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex with GPT-6, reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution and delegated audit/review. The runtime does not expose the

32745f4e84 feat(issues): keep follow-up parents and show the creation source (#15762)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents delegate work by creating follow-up tasks through the issue
API, the CLI, and the chat `create_task` tool
> - An agent can omit `parentId` when it creates a follow-up from an
ordinary execution task. The API accepts the task as a top-level task.
The task hierarchy does not show where the task came from, even though
the run provenance is recorded
> - The operator must read run history to learn why the task exists.
This is slow and it hides delegated work from the parent task
> - This pull request keeps the parent link for delegated follow-ups by
default, keeps intentional standalone tasks possible, and shows an
access-checked "Created from <task> by <agent>" note on the task page
from the recorded run provenance
> - The benefit is that each agent-created task shows its source without
log inspection, while structural parentage, provenance, and blockers
stay separate concepts

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13241 (shows tasks created from a task on the source task page;
this PR shows the reverse direction on the created task)
Refs #9727 (open proposal for creation provenance tracking)

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Issue creation by agent runs, and the task detail page.

**Subsystem affected**

Server (`POST /api/companies/:companyId/issues`, `GET /api/issues/:id`),
shared types, UI task detail page, CLI `issue create`, Paperclip skill
docs.

**Current behavior**

When an agent run bound to an execution task creates a task and omits
`parentId`, the task is created with no parent. The task page shows no
source. The operator must inspect the run log to find the task that the
agent was working on. The source run and the privacy parent are
recorded, but the UI does not use them.

**Proposed behavior**

- When an agent run bound to an ordinary execution task omits
`parentId`, the server sets `parentId` to that task. The `issue.created`
activity records `parentDefaultedFromRunIssue: true`.
- An explicit `parentId: null` keeps the task standalone. Conversation
runs (chat handoffs), board or user creates, watchdog follow-ups, a run
task the agent may not mutate, a default parent that would cause a
delegation cycle, and a default parent the agent may not create a child
under (for example a protected assignment policy without a grant) also
stay standalone. The server runs the same `tasks:assign` decision with
the defaulted parent in scope before it accepts the default. No request
that succeeded before now fails. An explicit `parentId` is still checked
as before.
- `GET /api/issues/:id` returns `createdFrom` with the source task, the
run, and the agent. The server resolves it from `origin_run_id`, or from
the recorded creation activity for historical rows. It returns `null`
when the viewer may not read the source task or the run, when the run is
from another company, or when provenance is missing.
- The task page shows "Created from <task> by <agent>" in the classic
breadcrumb area and in the streamlined Tasks tab. The note is not a
blocker and it is shown with or without a parent.
- The CLI `issue create` command gets `--standalone`, which sends
`parentId: null`.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators see why a task exists on the task itself. Delegated follow-ups
stay inside the parent task tree, so parent completion and child
wake-ups keep working. Private and cross-company sources stay hidden.

**Breaking changes**

None for the API schema. Agents that create tasks from a run and relied
on the omitted `parentId` to mean "top-level" must now send `parentId:
null` (CLI: `--standalone`). The skill and the spec document this.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/issue-creation-source.ts` (new): resolves a
task's creation source from the origin run or the creation activity,
scoped to the company, and loads the run-bound task by UUID or
identifier.
- `server/src/routes/issues.ts`: `POST /companies/:companyId/issues`
defaults `parentId` to the run's task when the body omits it (with the
exclusions above) and records the default in the activity log. `GET
/issues/:id` adds the access-checked `createdFrom` field.
- `packages/shared/src/types/issue.ts` and index exports: new
`IssueCreationSource` type and the optional `createdFrom` field on
`Issue`.
- `ui/src/components/task-detail/IssueCreatedFromNote.tsx` (new),
`TaskDetailTasksPanel.tsx`, and `IssueDetail.tsx`: show the creation
source in both task page layouts and count it in the Tasks tab badge.
- `cli/src/commands/client/issue.ts`: `issue create --standalone`.
- Docs: `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, `doc/CLI.md`,
`skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`.
- Tests: `server/src/__tests__/issue-creation-source-routes.test.ts`
(new), `TaskDetailTasksPanel.test.tsx`, `IssueDetail.test.tsx`.

## Verification

Run the new server route test (embedded Postgres):

```sh
cd server && pnpm exec vitest run src/__tests__/issue-creation-source-routes.test.ts
```

It covers: ordinary delegation gets the parent and `createdFrom`;
explicit `parentId: null` stays standalone but still shows the source;
conversation handoff and board create stay standalone; a would-be
delegation cycle falls back to standalone; a protected source task
without a grant falls back to standalone while an explicit parent still
returns 403; an explicit cycle still returns 409; historical provenance
from the creation activity; missing provenance, a private source for an
outsider, and a cross-company run all return `null`.

Related existing suites that passed locally (11 files, 313 tests):
`issue-created-from-routes`, `issue-create-deduplication-routes`,
`issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`, `chat-project-tools`,
`issue-assignee-invokability-routes`, `issue-watchdogs-routes`,
`issue-dependency-wakeups-routes`, `public-mcp`,
`native-runtime/task-creation-backlog`, `issue-access-grants-routes`,
`issue-list-assignee-filter-routes`.

UI:

```sh
cd ui && pnpm exec vitest run src/components/task-detail/TaskDetailTasksPanel.test.tsx src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
pnpm check:token-gates
```

Manual check: as an agent run bound to a task, `POST
/api/companies/:companyId/issues` with only a title. The response has
`parentId` set to the run's task. Open the new task; the page shows
"Created from <task> by <agent>".

The related server suites pass locally (`issue-created-from`,
`issue-create-deduplication`, `issue-agent-mutation-ownership`,
`chat-project-tools`, `issue-watchdogs`, `public-mcp`,
`task-creation-backlog`, `issue-access-grants`,
`permissions-upgrade-boundary`). The full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm
test:run`, and `pnpm build` were not run locally because the sandbox has
a 4 GB memory limit and the TypeScript compiler is killed on the server
project; the CI gates on this PR cover them.

## Risks

- Behavior shift for agent clients: a run-created task without
`parentId` now becomes a child of the run's task. Clients that want a
top-level task must send `parentId: null`. The watchdog, conversation,
and board paths are excluded, and the default never adds a blocker.
- The default parent inherits the parent's execution workspace, which
run-created tasks already inherited from the run's task.
- `createdFrom` adds one run lookup, one issue lookup, one access
decision, and one agent lookup to the task detail request. It is skipped
when the task has no origin run and no creation activity with a run.
- Privacy: the field returns `null` unless the viewer can read the
source task and the run, so a private source is indistinguishable from
missing provenance.

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5.1 (`claude-fable-5-1`), Anthropic, run through Claude
Code in a Paperclip-managed execution workspace with tool use, shell
execution, and a local embedded Postgres for tests.

DottaandPaperclip 5cf90417d6 fix(ui): confirm cancellation from monitor cards (#15735)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their tasks.
> - A task monitor schedules a later agent check.
> - The monitor card shows when that check will run.
> - The card has no direct control to cancel the monitor.
> - This change adds an X button and a confirmation dialog.
> - The operator can stop the scheduled check from the card.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The monitor card on the task page.

**Current behavior**
The operator must open task properties to clear a monitor.

**Proposed behavior**
Select the X in the top right of the card. Select Keep monitor to leave
the schedule in place. Select Cancel monitor to remove the scheduled
check.

**Reason and benefit**
The operator can cancel the monitor where its schedule is shown.
Confirmation helps prevent an accidental cancellation.

**Breaking changes**
None. The change uses the existing task update API.

## What Changed

- Add an accessible X button at the top right of the monitor card.
- Confirm cancellation before the task update.
- Keep the dialog open with an error if the update fails.
- Preserve the other execution policy settings and refresh the task
after success.
- Reject stale policy writes under the task row lock with an optional
expectedExecutionPolicy snapshot.
- Document the snapshot field and add a database test for stale
cancellation.
- Restrict snapshot requests to policy-only edits before
execution-control actions.
- Add seven route tests for rejected mixed requests and absent policy
updates.
- Keep automatic retry waits separate from monitor cancellation.
- Add component and task page tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- Monitor banner and task page tests passed: 199 tests. A targeted
database test and seven route tests also passed.
- UI typecheck and production build passed.
- Open a task with a scheduled monitor. Select X, then Keep monitor. The
schedule must remain.
- Select X, then Cancel monitor. The card must disappear after the
update.
- Local full build reached the Rust runner build but could not complete
because Cargo is absent. CI must verify the full build.
- Full repository typecheck, build, test suites, and E2E checks passed
in CI for the final commit. Local full checks were limited by missing
Cargo and workspace memory.

## Risks

- Low risk. Cancellation uses the existing company access checks and
activity log.
- A cancelled monitor no longer wakes the agent. The dialog explains
this effect.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The runtime does not expose a more specific model
ID or context window size. Used code editing, shell commands, and tests.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A task kept checking whether a private GitHub PR had merged. Its work
product requested board review, but the Properties sidebar used detected
external objects instead. The PR URL was stored only in metadata, which
the PR refresh path did not read. The composer showed a generic monitor
countdown with no PR link or review action.

**Expected behavior**

Show saved PR links even if provider access fails. During a GitHub
monitor wait, make outstanding review requests visible with the next
check time and a status-check action. Stop requesting review when a PR
merges or closes.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Register a PR work product with `reviewState: needs_board_review` and
its URL in `metadata.url`.
2. Schedule an external-service monitor for GitHub.
3. Open the task with external-object lookup unavailable or unable to
access the private repository.
4. Inspect Properties and the composer wait strip.

Related work: #14469 added rich artifact cards. #8759 addresses
attention on monitored task blockers. This change uses the existing work
products and monitor action; it adds no blocker or approval mechanism.

## What Changed

- Show saved PRs in Properties, including metadata-only links,
independent of external-object availability.
- Deduplicate equivalent GitHub PR URLs while preserving the saved
navigation link, and put explicit review requests first.
- Keep provider status and freshness on the combined PR row; keep
private PR links usable when lookup fails.
- Show the saved PR review request above the composer and in the
existing monitor banner during a GitHub monitor wait.
- Label the existing monitor action `Check status` and show check
failures inline.
- Suppress review prompts for merged, closed, or archived PRs even if
their review flag is stale.
- Refresh PR metadata using `metadata.url` and the existing `repository`
alias.
- Share saved work-product reads across the thread, Properties, and
Artifacts. Refresh GitHub in a separate query and enrich only matching
PR versions.
- Start a fresh saved-row request on live invalidation so late provider
responses cannot hide new artifacts or changed review requests.
- Cover stalled GitHub lookups in both panels so refresh latency cannot
hide saved work.
- Scope monitor-check mutation state to the task so failures and late
responses do not leak across navigation.
- Refresh GitHub status when the displayed run finishes, including when
saved PR rows have not changed.
- Clarify that PR review and external release handoffs need a saved
human-input interaction with an agent assigned for continuation; a flag,
monitor, or handoff comment alone does not create that card.

## Verification

- 386 tests pass across eleven affected UI and server suites on
`184c7d8746`. Regressions cover saved links, provider status, cold-cache
loading, panel reopening, monitor errors during navigation, and live
updates during provider refresh.
- Three live-update regressions and two run-completion regressions fail
before their fixes and pass afterward. These tests use the real API
client's GET coalescing and abort handling.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed on the merged parent
`1a49112dd2`. The latest UI changes pass UI typecheck and token gates;
CI also verifies the latest build. Capability contract/inventory checks
pass.
- Storybook build and browser checks passed before the query race fix.
Browser checks cover desktop and 390px mobile review waits, plus video,
mixed-file, and empty artifact galleries after background refresh.
- The earlier full local `pnpm test:run` was stopped under disk
pressure. It reported failures outside the changed suites; an isolated
skill-cache run reproduced three existing macOS permission failures. The
full local suite was not rerun for this follow-up.
- Latest-head CI passes on `184c7d8746`, including the browser shards
and canary dry run. Apex is 5/5 with no actionable findings and no
unresolved threads. All eight reported findings are addressed.

## Risks

- This uses saved PR review state. When GitHub access fails, the saved
state can remain stale until the agent updates it. The link remains
visible and the status check remains available.
- `Check status` wakes the existing monitor owner. It does not merge a
PR, accept an approval, or mark the task done.
- No schema, permissions, or scheduler behavior changes.

DottaandPaperclip 7498705642 fix(ui): stabilize mobile task reading and document navigation (#15228)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People read tasks and send instructions from phones as well as
desktop browsers.
> - The mobile footer let page text show through its labels, and small
text fields made Safari zoom on focus.
> - Small scroll changes made the footer switch direction, and its
changing page padding moved the conversation.
> - Task pages also showed comments before question cards and run
history arrived, so the composer and reading position moved again.
> - Document links also used native navigation, which reset the reading
position or reloaded a task through its UUID URL. Desktop tabs were
crowded in the mobile drawer.
> - This pull request keeps navigation steady, opens documents in the
mounted task, and gives mobile readers a full-height panel with a
vertical tab selector.
> - The benefit is a stable task view and smoother scrolling on mobile.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The mobile footer was translucent. Safari zoomed when a person focused a
small text field. The footer switched abruptly while scrolling. A large
task could show saved comments, then move the page again when a question
card or run history arrived. In a local test with delayed responses, a
late question moved the mobile composer by about 374 pixels. Opening a
plan from the feed could reset the view or reload the task through a
UUID link. The mobile document drawer left part of the feed exposed
above small desktop tab controls.

**Expected behavior**

The footer has an opaque surface and moves smoothly after deliberate
scrolling. Text fields do not cause automatic focus zoom. A task shows
its initial conversation and composer together at the final scroll
position. Background refreshes keep the existing conversation visible.
Document links open in the mounted task with its existing cache and
reading position. Mobile documents fill the viewport, show a clear close
button, and offer a vertical list of open tabs.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task with many long comments and a pending question in iOS
Safari.
2. Delay its interactions, activity, and runs responses by different
amounts.
3. Reload the page and watch the conversation and composer move as each
response arrives.
4. Scroll down and back up, including small direction changes and edge
bounce.
5. Focus the task composer, search field, and new-task title and
description.
6. Open a plan or another task document from the feed, including a link
that uses the task UUID. Close the panel and check the reading position.
7. Open several documents on a phone. Switch tabs and close both active
and inactive tabs.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Developed from `1c07b5903` and rebased onto `59015846a`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Tested in an isolated local test drive with iOS 26.5
Simulator Safari and Chrome. A temporary local proxy delayed independent
responses for the layout test.

Related work found in the duplicate search:

- Refs #14727. It made saved replies appear before supporting history.
This PR keeps its parallel requests and narrows the tradeoff in favor of
a stable first layout.
- Refs #14667. This open PR takes a different approach with per-run
placeholders and retries. This PR fixes the observed question/composer
movement and mobile navigation behavior.
- Refs #13095 and #13597. These earlier fixes added task scroll anchors
and skipped transcript waits for scheduled retries.
- Refs #6550. Earlier mobile board polish.
- Refs #9467. This related open PR changes list and generic tab reflow.
The task-pane selector uses a separate component.

## What Changed

- Give the mobile footer an opaque semantic surface.
- Set a base-size floor for editable text on touch devices to prevent
Safari focus zoom. Preserve larger title text.
- Share mobile scroll tracking between both layouts. Accumulate scroll
distance, ignore edge bounce and changed document bounds, and update
once per frame.
- Use shared motion tokens for the footer and composer. Keep page
padding stable and honor reduced motion.
- Wait for the initial question cards, attachments, work products,
activity, runtime selection, plan, and relevant transcript history
before the first reveal. Skip scheduled retries and older runs outside
the initial comment window.
- Bound the first reveal to 15 seconds. A stalled supporting request
leaves saved conversation and the composer accessible with an explicit
loading notice.
- Keep concealed mobile history from stretching the document. Keep the
composer mounted but concealed until the same reveal. Keep both visible
during later refreshes.
- Route first and repeated same-task document clicks in place. Recognize
UUID and identifier links. Preserve the thread history entry and feed
position. Keep modifier clicks, downloads, external links, and classic
document behavior.
- Give the mobile task panel the full viewport and safe-area padding.
Use a visible X and 44-pixel touch controls. Replace the horizontal tab
strip with a vertical selector that wraps titles and supports keyboard
focus.
- Add four interactive Storybook states for a few tabs, long names, many
tabs, and the last tab. Reuse the production selector and tab
controller.
- Add navigation and tab regressions, update first-reveal regressions,
and document the behavior in `DESIGN.md`.

## Verification

- 392 tests passed across the seven focused task-loading, scroll,
mobile-navigation, layout, and composer suites. After review fixes, all
339 tests across the four affected suites passed, including
stalled-loading fallback on mobile and desktop and the motion-token
catalog.
- All 442 focused document, tab, task-thread, and scroll tests pass. The
final click-propagation cleanup also passes all 136 task-detail tests.
UI typecheck, UI production build, and `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- All four cases in `artifact-tab-arrival.spec.ts` and
`text-attachment-tabs.spec.ts` pass locally, covering desktop and mobile
selection, composer focus, document rendering, and downloads of the
original bytes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook` passed. Open the
mobile tab stories under `Prototypes/Task detail/Mobile tabs`.
- A local diagnostic proxy measured cached plan content at about 250 ms
after the first click. The HTML load count and task request count did
not change. Feed scroll stayed at the same position. First, repeated,
and UUID document links were tested at phone and desktop widths.
Task-reference links close their preview before the document reader
opens.
- In Chrome at desktop and phone widths, the delayed-response task
showed one complete reveal. The late question no longer moved an already
visible composer.
- In iOS Simulator Safari, verified the large-task reload, opaque
footer, navigation hide/reveal, and search/new-task/composer focus
without automatic zoom.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. The updated UI also passes
typecheck, production build, and token gates.
- All 54 checks pass on the final commit
`bf5c9914e61833e7cc8794a69d72cf8c7057b952` (two additional checks are
intentionally skipped). Greptile reviewed that commit at 5/5, and all
review threads are resolved.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted but stopped after
server-fixture failures. Embedded PostgreSQL startup failure reproduced
in an isolated native-interaction fixture after five startup attempts.
The broad run also reported a rapid Slack callback ordering test
failure. These server paths are unchanged by this PR, and their CI
shards pass on the latest head. The full local suite is not claimed as
passing.
- A localhost proxy stalled the activity response for 30 seconds. Chrome
revealed the available conversation after the 15-second deadline at both
desktop and phone widths, kept the composer accessible, and cleared the
loading notice when the response arrived.

## Risks

Slow initial history requests can delay the first conversation reveal by
up to 15 seconds. If that deadline expires, late data can change the
available conversation while a loading notice remains visible. The
reveal waits only for runs in the initial comment window, and later
refreshes do not conceal an existing conversation. The larger editable
text can change line wrapping on phones. Mobile navigation and composer
motion use shared tokens and respect reduced-motion settings. Mobile tab
selection changes the control layout. Document links retain URL history
while sharing the task reading position; other tasks and external links
keep their normal navigation behavior.

I checked `ROADMAP.md`. This is a fix for existing UI behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex. The runtime does not expose a more specific model
ID or context-window size. The agent used reasoning, code editing,
terminal tools, and Chrome and iOS Simulator testing.

DottaandPaperclip cc67d4e1d8 fix: preserve steering and recover stopped task conversations (#15015)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task conversation must let a user guide a running agent and resume
stopped work.
> - The active run owns its input protocol, even when the user changes
the next model or effort.
> - Queue delivery waits for a provider receipt, which must be able to
persist during the request.
> - A stopped startup also needs a clear user action that passes normal
task admission.
> - This pull request fixes steering delivery, makes queue actions
immediate, and restores explicit continuation.
> - The benefit is a responsive conversation that can recover without
losing saved input.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A queued message could change from Steer to Interrupt while a native run
prepared. A steer request could wait on its own database lock and fail
to deliver. A stopped startup could then leave the conversation without
a working Retry or message continuation. Interrupt also waited for the
server and showed a toast.

**Expected behavior**

The active run keeps its input protocol. Steer delivers input to that
run. Steer and Interrupt clear the submitted queue rows and show the
input in the conversation immediately. Failed delivery restores the
latest queue with an inline error. An eligible stopped run offers Retry,
and authenticated user input can start a fresh turn through normal task
admission.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task with a native Paperclip Runner.
2. Change the selected model or effort while that run prepares.
3. Queue a message and press Steer.
4. Observe the provider receipt and queue state during the request.
5. Stop a startup before its provider process begins, then try Retry or
send a new message.
6. Repeat queued delivery with a legacy runner and press Interrupt.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the parent of this branch, `59c07ede7`.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated private deployment. The fixes also cover local task
conversations.

Related work: Refs #12834, Refs #13354, Refs #13275. The open refactor
in #13160 moves the same queue route; it does not fix the receipt lock
or stopped-run continuation addressed here.

## What Changed

- Select queue behavior from the active run's immutable dispatch and
runtime resolution.
- Leave the run row unlocked during provider acknowledgement, then lock
and read it before merging the receipt.
- Retain queued input if the target run stops during that wait. Keep
inline delivery errors visible after empty queue updates.
- Permit exact Retry and authenticated continuation after verified
native startup cancellation. Preserve pause, approval, budget,
ownership, and process-stop gates.
- Carry undelivered native queue input into a fresh turn once the old
execution is confirmed stopped.
- Show Steer and Interrupt input in the conversation and clear submitted
composer rows immediately. Restore the latest queue inline on failure.
Remove delivery toasts.
- Keep optimistic delivery stable across stale polls, empty queues, and
paginated history. Preserve classic Interrupt error handling.
- Document recovery and optimistic delivery behavior. Add regression
tests across server, shared queue projection, and UI boundaries.

## Verification

- Red-green regression tests reproduced the queue protocol, receipt
lock, stopped-startup continuation, and optimistic delivery failures.
- The focused server route, continuation, queue, and runner boundary
suites passed during implementation.
- The queue-route suite passes with 78 tests. The three complete
conversation UI suites pass with 347 tests.
- UI typecheck, production build, and `pnpm check:token-gates` pass.
- Workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. The local
monolithic `pnpm test:run` is still running; remote CI verifies the
complete suite on the latest commit.
- All CI gates pass on `bd9031ad56abfcde13d13a13488c1b9217c2fd3a`,
including the full test shards, runner verification, browser E2E,
typecheck, release registry, and canary dry run.
- Greptile reports 5/5 for that commit. Both review threads are
resolved.

## Risks

This changes queue display and explicit continuation admission. The UI
must restore rejected delivery without losing other-session edits. The
server must preserve concurrent provider result updates and must not
resume a process whose stop is uncertain. Focused tests cover these
boundaries. This change has no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, an agent based on GPT-6. The exact runtime model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and browser inspection.

DottaandPaperclip d7bdfc422c fix(ui): show agent avatar and align chat header controls (#14726)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent chat shows which agent receives each message.
> - The chat header used initials instead of the agent avatar.
> - The name and controls did not use the same center alignment.
> - This change uses the shared avatar and centers the header content.
> - Users can identify the agent and open its settings from the same
row.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
The agent chat header showed initials instead of the agent avatar. The
settings control did not align with the name and avatar.

**Expected behavior**
Show the agent avatar. Put the avatar, name, and settings control on the
same horizontal center line.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable Agent Chat in Experimental settings.
2. Open a conversation with an agent that has an appearance set.
3. Check the avatar and settings control in the top bar.

Related navigation work: #14706.

## What Changed

- Use `AgentAvatar` in the conversation breadcrumb.
- Update the breadcrumb key when the agent appearance changes.
- Center breadcrumb labels that have an adjacent action. Keep task
identifier baseline alignment unchanged.
- Add regression checks for avatar props, appearance changes, and center
alignment.

## Verification

- PASS: affected Vitest suites, 129 tests.
- PASS: `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- PASS: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` on an isolated retry.
- PASS: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build`.
- PASS: browser checks at 1000 and 390 CSS pixels. Avatar, name, and
settings control all have center Y = 29.5 CSS pixels.
- Screenshots use the real header and avatar renderer with isolated
context fixtures. No screenshot or fixture is part of this diff.
- Full typecheck and build cannot complete because Cargo is not
installed.
- Full tests stopped with SIGKILL. The first UI typecheck also stopped
with exit 137. These runs do not prove full-suite success.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only affects UI rendering. It changes no API or
database contract.
- Breadcrumbs with adjacent actions now use center alignment. Ordinary
task identifiers keep baseline alignment.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex agent, with code editing, shell tools, and browser checks.
The runtime did not expose the exact model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 6c1a75da49 feat(connections): make AgentMail a default connection with inline setup (#14772)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections give agents access to external services.
> - AgentMail needs both a saved key and an inbox assigned to the agent.
> - Chat requests offered a setup link instead of an inline card and
could treat a saved key as complete.
> - Inbox setup also hid address conflicts behind a generic server error
and a separate review step.
> - This pull request makes AgentMail a default connection, adds the
inline card, reduces setup to two steps, and shows conflicts beside the
address.
> - Shared native dropdown styles also give every caret a consistent
inset.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

AgentMail requests in chat did not show a usable inline connection card.
Manual setup required extra screens, ignored saved account keys, and
could trap new-address setup in a locked inbox dropdown. Agent selectors
omitted the avatar from the selected value. A taken address could
produce an HTTP 403 from AgentMail and appear as an internal server
error. Native dropdown arrows also touched the right edge of their
fields.

**Expected behavior**

Make AgentMail available as a default connection. Ask for the API key
inline, with a direct link to its provider page. Default human access to
the company and agent access to the requesting agent. Resume the agent
only after an assigned inbox is active. Manual setup should ask for an
agent and email address, then finish. Address checks should run as the
user types. Taken addresses should show clickable alternatives. A domain
dropdown beside the name should prefer a verified custom domain. Setup
should suggest authorized saved AgentMail keys and show agent avatars in
the picker and selected value.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask an agent to connect AgentMail when it has no assigned inbox.
2. Check that an inline API-key card appears and links to the provider's
API-key page.
3. Open AgentMail setup, choose an agent, and request an address that is
already taken.
4. Correct the inline error, refresh, and finish setup with the same
request ID.
5. Inspect native dropdown carets in light, dark, disabled, and
right-to-left states.

Uses the bounded provider-error parser merged in #14768. Related work:
#13256 introduced AgentMail; #14725 expanded connection search.

## What Changed

- Stop recurring email queries for tasks that have no email thread.
Share the query between the thread provider and activity view. Keep
email-task updates and invalidation-based discovery.
- Make AgentMail available without the experimental chat setting. Keep
the catalog, setup and management routes, agent Channels tab, task email
feed, receiving worker, and agent tools available by default. Other
experimental chat providers stay gated.

- Make the email address and copy icon a single clickable action with
the shared Copied! confirmation. Add View inbox linking directly to the
matching AgentMail console inbox, with the address encoded as one URL
path segment.

- Reorganize inbox Settings around the copyable email address, usage
instructions, and receiving status. Move reconnect credentials into a
disclosure and separate the Disconnect action. Add production Settings
stories for active, paused, unassigned-address, revoked, webhook,
long-address, mobile, and reconnect states. Show repair controls when
the inbox has an error. Keep usage instructions tied to an active inbox
with an address.

- Add AgentMail channel intents and an inline key field with the direct
API-key URL.
- Keep setup and retry state tied to the interaction. Require an active
inbox for completion. Preserve company and agent access checks.
- Reduce manual setup to agent selection and email selection. Put the
domain dropdown beside the address and default to a verified custom
domain. Preserve explicit choices across reloads. Keep receiving
settings under Advanced options.
- Check the initial address and edits after a 350 ms pause. Abort
superseded requests and ignore stale responses. Show clickable
suggestions and retain known creation conflicts across reloads.
- Add a company-scoped, manager-only address check using the saved
credential. Search the visible inbox list instead of fetching an
uncreated inbox: live AgentMail retains negative lookups that can break
subsequent access-key creation. Unlisted addresses remain unknown;
creation is authoritative.
- Suggest labeled saved AgentMail keys in both manual setup and the
inline card. Filter by company, provider, active credential, and
current-user grants on the server. Prefer an account key and preserve
the selected key or an explicit new-key choice across refresh. Use
verified scope metadata and bounded concurrent checks for legacy keys.
Never return secret values.
- Catch an inbox-only key before the email step. Allow its existing
inbox only after an explicit choice. Recover old locked drafts at the
key picker. Save the replacement key before retiring an empty draft,
then use a new setup URL so refresh preserves the switched account; stop
if cleanup fails. Preserve already allocated addresses and their
original accounts.
- Use the shared AgentSelect in email setup. Show the canonical agent
avatar in each option and the selected value, including other consumers
of the shared component. Add regression coverage for legacy and current
Lucide agent-mention icon formats.
- Start each catalog Add connection with a fresh setup identity. Honor
Finish setup's exact draft/account/address instead of resuming an
unrelated browser draft. Return Cancel and Done to Connectors and Email
settings to the inbox. Group the task/thread explanation in a How it
Works card.
- Route AgentMail catalog removal through the email inbox control API,
including unfinished drafts. Refresh both the catalog and inbox views.
- Render each inbox management tab separately. Access uses the saved
account grants and agent controls; Conversations and Activity use the
shared persisted email feed. Activity lifecycle actions use the email
API. Reconnect returns to inbox Settings. Conversation failures show a
retry instead of a false empty state. Email delivery recovery stays in
the task.
- Map documented provider address conflicts to a field error. Preserve
actionable messages for other failures.
- Preserve non-secret draft fields across refresh, scoped to the
requested agent. Never save API keys in browser storage. Resume partial
inbox creation with the original agent, address, and request ID.
- Show an already-created address with explicit retry and new-address
recovery instead of locked inputs. Preserve the original inbox and
resumable draft when choosing another address. Distinguish runtime-key
404 errors and log safe provider status/operation/code.
- Apply final agent access once within email setup authorization for a
new account whose original installs are unchanged. Preserve later
permission edits and reused account installs. Support in-place retry of
progress loading.
- Let a failed inline setup change keys after retiring an empty draft.
Persist its replacement setup identity without storing secrets. Recover
a server-saved account when refresh interrupts the save response, while
preserving intentional account changes.
- Render the production setup in Storybook and add error, recovery, and
mobile states.
- Inset native select carets in shared CSS. Preserve custom icons,
listboxes, keyboard behavior, and forced-color controls.
- Add browser regression coverage and an AgentMail Product E2E case with
persisted-state and rendered-card evidence.

## Verification

- Full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm check:token-gates`, and
`git diff --check` passed after the default-availability change.
- All 485 focused tests passed. These cover setup, management, catalog
and route gates, connection intents, email authorization, Cursor
execution, and the OpenAPI contract. All 39 email integration tests run
with the experimental chat setting off.
- The shared polling change passed four behavioral tests, UI typecheck
and build, and token gates.
- `tests/e2e/agentmail.spec.ts` passed with the actual server setting
off. This full-stack browser test uses simulated provider responses. It
covers catalog entry, saved keys, editable address and domain controls,
creation, conflicts, retry, all management tabs, clipboard feedback, the
provider link, and task email rendering.
- In the live local browser, Add connection reached the editable email
step with the saved account key. The verified custom domain was selected
by default. Both domain choices worked. The existing inbox Settings page
remained available. Both active inboxes completed new mail checks with
the setting off. No new provider inbox or email message was created for
this pass.
- Earlier live provider acceptance covered creation on a verified custom
domain, Finish connecting on the reported draft, successful mail checks
after refresh, and catalog removal of disposable draft and active
connections. Clicking the email address copied the exact address and
showed Copied!. View inbox opened the same inbox in AgentMail’s console.
No email messages were sent.
- Production setup and Settings Storybook builds and interactions
passed. Settings states include active, paused, unassigned, revoked,
webhook, long-address, mobile, and reconnect. Receiving and
revoked-access stories had zero accessibility violations.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` on an earlier revision completed with
14,709 passing, 87 skipped, and four transient failures. All four failed
cases passed in focused reruns without product changes. That serial full
local command was not repeated after each follow-up. The latest-head
full CI suite is the final test gate.
- CI found an obsolete browser assertion that hid every channel when the
flag was off. Updated it to keep AgentMail and the Channels surface
visible while preserving the GitHub chat route gates. All 11 provider
browser tests passed locally after scoping the Channels selector to the
agent sidebar. Two initial local attempts stopped at temporary Postgres
initialization. The passing run used a separate disposable database on
the existing local Postgres server; it was removed after the test.
- Updated the remaining sidebar and aggregator discovery assertions for
default AgentMail availability. Ordinary task fixtures now return no
email thread. All 128 sidebar/task-page tests and all 42 aggregator
tests passed locally.
- Latest head `b42bb4cd5cc9f2d01a99ab8026832d5a956ea85f`: full CI
passed, with 54 successful checks including Snyk and two intentional
Storybook skips. The CI run is
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37020833647. A
fresh Greptile review scored 5/5 with no unresolved threads. Live model
evaluations and inbound/outbound email delivery were not run.

## Risks

- AgentMail no longer needs experimental opt-in. Setup still requires a
human to connect an account and assign an inbox. Inline setup creates an
inbox after a human submits a new or saved key. Company access, agent
access, inbox assignment, and completion checks remain enforced.
- AgentMail read APIs cannot prove global address availability. The
visible-list check is bounded to 100 entries and cannot see inboxes
outside the key’s scope. The UI reports this limitation, suggests
alternatives without claiming they are free, and keeps final creation
conflicts inline. Lookup outages show an error without preventing the
authoritative creation attempt.
- Native select CSS affects the whole app. Custom-icon selects and
multi-row lists are excluded. Forced-color mode keeps the browser caret.
- Saved-key discovery uses stored verified scope metadata and checks
authorized legacy credentials concurrently within a shared three-second
deadline. Provider outages mark legacy choices unavailable; users can
still enter another key. Final use rechecks authorization and provider
access.
- No database migration or transport default change. Live connection
remains the default.

DottaandPaperclip 0e5830887b perf: reveal task content sooner and parallelize issue reads (#14727)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - A task page must show saved replies quickly so a person can read the
work.
> - The title could appear while the conversation waited for unrelated
metadata and transcripts.
> - Thread requests also waited for enriched task details, while the
server read several independent fields in sequence.
> - This change shows saved content as soon as it is ready, starts
thread reads earlier, and runs independent server reads together.
> - Native event history takes priority over legacy log fallback, and
mentioned tasks load on intent.
> - Content-free timing spans make the remaining server delays visible
without recording task content.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Task titles and properties appeared quickly, but saved conversation
content stayed hidden for several more seconds while metadata and run
transcripts loaded.

**Expected behavior**

Saved replies and the task description should be readable without
waiting for supporting history. Returning to a cached task should show
content within a frame or two.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task with saved comments and completed runs.
2. Delay the task activity and runs responses by five seconds in the
browser.
3. Observe whether saved content remains hidden until those responses
finish.
4. Navigate away and return to the task to check cached navigation.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The change was developed from `1b48e73e0` and rebased onto `44736c9c7`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source, tested in an authenticated staging deployment and
with local response replay.

Related: #14667 overlaps the transcript reveal behavior and adds
separate retry UX. This PR also changes navigation prefetch, parent
metadata gates, native log fallback, server read scheduling, and timing
spans. #12647 proposes a separate SQL predicate optimization in the runs
service. #13597 and #13095 are earlier loading fixes.

## What Changed

- Start activity and runs when the task page mounts, alongside task
details and comments, using the route reference for shared query keys.
Hover/focus prefetch does not start full history reads.
- Reveal saved comments and descriptions while metadata and transcripts
load. Preserve strict waits for linked-comment navigation and tasks with
only runtime content.
- For settled native runs, fetch legacy logs only when event history is
empty or fails. Preserve live-log subscriptions for queued and running
native runs. Fetch mentioned-task details on hover or focus.
- Run independent issue-detail enrichment and run metadata reads in
parallel while preserving recovery dependencies.
- Add `Server-Timing` phases and opt-in OpenTelemetry spans, plus
regression tests and observability documentation.

## Verification

- **313 tests passed** across the initial seven focused component,
cache, timing, and scroll suites. After review fixes, **313 tests
passed** across five task-page, cache, prefetch, and live-transcript
suites (`pnpm exec vitest run` with `--maxWorkers=1`; these sets
overlap).
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally before the final
UI-only review fixes. UI typecheck/build and `pnpm check:token-gates`
passed after those fixes. The final commit also passes full typecheck
and build in CI.
- The full local Vitest run was attempted. Several unrelated embedded
PostgreSQL fixtures failed to start, and parallel test workers hit
timeouts. Focused reruns passed. A later local full-suite rerun was
stopped after the complete CI suite passed; it is not claimed as a local
full-suite pass.
- Final commit `d1e147145`: **54 checks passed, 2 skipped**, including
all server/workspace test shards, all eight browser E2E shards, full
build/typecheck, Runner checks, release registry, and canary
clean-install verification. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36734642034).
Greptile **5/5** after two reviews; both findings fixed and all review
threads resolved. No merge conflicts.
- Live browser tests on an existing task with two saved replies: median
full reload to visible content fell from **1.92 s** (3 samples) to
**1.40 s** (5 samples). Cached return fell from **421 ms** (1 sample) to
**29 ms** (3 samples). These are observed samples, not a performance
guarantee.
- With activity and runs delayed by five seconds, saved content appeared
in **1.38 s** on desktop and **1.33 s** on mobile. The inspected comment
did not move when metadata arrived. Verified history expansion, task
properties, pending-input navigation, dashboard return, and mobile
layout.
- A separate local replay with fixed responses reduced visible-content
time from **5.12 s** to **2.15 s**. This isolates frontend behavior and
is not a live-server benchmark.

## Risks

Progressive history can change the thread after first paint. Existing
anchor behavior is retained and covered by tests and delayed-response
browser checks. Query aliases must stay aligned for invalidation.
Parallel reads can increase short bursts of database work; dependent
recovery operations remain ordered. Full reloads still depend on network
and task-detail latency.

No schema or authorization change. OpenTelemetry remains disabled
without an operator endpoint. The added spans use a closed set of phase
names and carry no task IDs, task content, or exception text.

I checked `ROADMAP.md`; this is a performance fix within the existing
task page.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex. The runtime does not expose a more specific model
ID or context-window size. The agent used reasoning, code editing,
terminal tools, and Chrome performance profiling.

Devin Foley f38b5693f6 fix: always enable keyboard shortcuts (#14643)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI has keyboard shortcuts for the inbox, task lists, cases,
and task detail, plus global shortcuts such as `c`, `/`, `?`, `[`, and
`]`
> - Shortcut enablement was an instance-wide General setting until
#14141 moved it to a per-user preference that defaults to off
> - The move did not carry the old instance value over, so every
existing user lost shortcuts on upgrade and had to find a new toggle
under Profile settings
> - A toggle that only turns off a standard, input-safe feature costs a
setting, a database column, two API routes, and a React context for
little benefit
> - This pull request removes both the instance setting and the personal
preference and enables keyboard shortcuts for every signed-in user
> - The benefit is one less thing to configure, no silent loss of
shortcuts on upgrade, and less code to maintain

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14141 (the change that introduced the personal preference).

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Keyboard shortcuts in the web UI stay off unless each user turns them on
in Profile settings.

**Subsystem affected**

Web UI shortcuts, Profile settings, instance general settings, the
`/api/auth/preferences` routes, and the `user` table.

**Current behavior**

Shortcuts default to off per user. #14141 moved the toggle from Instance
settings → General to Profile settings and did not carry the old
instance value over. Users who had shortcuts on lost them after the
upgrade and had to find the new toggle.

**Proposed behavior**

Keyboard shortcuts are always enabled for every signed-in user. There is
no instance setting and no personal preference. Shortcuts already ignore
key presses inside text inputs and modal dialogs, so an opt-out is not
needed.

**Reason and benefit**

Fewer settings, no silent loss of shortcuts on upgrade, and removal of a
database column, two API routes, a query hook, and a React context that
existed only to gate this feature.

**Breaking changes**

`GET` and `PATCH /api/auth/preferences` are removed. `PATCH
/api/instance/settings/general` no longer accepts `keyboardShortcuts`;
that schema is strict, so the key now returns 400.
`instance.general.keyboardShortcuts` is no longer a valid
`PAPERCLIP_HIDDEN_SETTINGS` key; the parser ignores unknown keys with a
warning.

## What Changed

- Removed the Keyboard shortcuts section from Profile settings, the
`useUserPreferences` hook, `queryKeys.auth.preferences`, and
`authApi.getPreferences` / `authApi.updatePreferences`.
- Removed `GeneralSettingsContext`. The inbox, legacy inbox, task list,
legacy task list, cases, and task detail pages no longer gate their key
handlers.
- Removed the `enabled` option from `useKeyboardShortcuts`. The app
shell always registers the global shortcuts.
- Removed `GET` and `PATCH /api/auth/preferences`, their OpenAPI
entries, and the `currentUserPreferencesSchema` /
`updateCurrentUserPreferencesSchema` validators.
- Removed `keyboardShortcuts` from `InstanceGeneralSettings`, the
general settings zod schema, the settings service defaults, and
`HIDEABLE_GENERAL_SECTIONS`.
- Added migration `0289_drop_user_keyboard_shortcuts`, which drops
`user.keyboard_shortcuts`.
- Updated `AGENTS.md`, `doc/SPEC.md`, `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`, and
`docs/deploy/environment-variables.md`.
- Parsed the stored general settings row with
`instanceGeneralSettingsSchema.strip()` in the feedback vote path, so a
retired key left in the row cannot reset the sharing preference to
`prompt` and overwrite the stored choice.
- Kept every bare global shortcut (`c`, `?`, `[`, `]`, `/`) out of open
modal dialogs in `useKeyboardShortcuts`; only `/` had that guard before.
- Updated the affected tests and added a Profile settings test that
asserts the toggle is gone, a hook test for the modal dialog guard, and
a feedback service regression test for the retired-key case.

## Verification

- Typecheck passes for `@paperclipai/shared`, `@paperclipai/db`
(including the migration numbering and safety checks),
`@paperclipai/server`, and `ui`.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/auth-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/sentry.test.ts` → 119 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/Layout.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/ProfileSettings.test.tsx ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Cases.test.tsx
ui/src/hooks/useKeyboardShortcuts.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Agents.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceGeneralSettings.test.tsx` → 286 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/settings-visibility.test.ts`
→ 16 passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/hooks/useKeyboardShortcuts.test.tsx` → 7
passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/feedback-service.test.ts`
(embedded Postgres) → the new retired-key test passes with the fix and
fails without it.
- Manual: sign in with no settings changed, open the inbox, press `j`
and `k` to move the selection, press `?` to open the cheatsheet. Open
Settings → Profile and confirm there is no Keyboard shortcuts section.

## Risks

- The migration drops a column. It uses `DROP COLUMN IF EXISTS`, and the
column has no readers after this change. If you roll back to a build
from before this PR after the migration has run, re-add the column
first: `ALTER TABLE "user" ADD COLUMN "keyboard_shortcuts" boolean
DEFAULT false NOT NULL;`. The older build's ORM selects that column when
it loads users.
- Any external client that still sends `keyboardShortcuts` to `PATCH
/api/instance/settings/general` receives a 400. No in-repo client does.
- Stored `instance_settings.general.keyboardShortcuts` values are
stripped on read and ignored.
- Users who never turned the toggle on now get shortcuts. The handlers
skip text inputs, contenteditable regions, and modal dialogs, so typing
is unaffected.

0be2afcca6 feat(ui): improve task composer controls and pending input (#14322)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets operators assign tasks to AI agents and review their
work.
> - The task composer controls the next message and its assigned agent.
> - Operators needed a way to choose that agent's model and effort
without leaving the composer.
> - The old mode selector, upload button, and input cards made the
mobile composer crowded and hid normal messaging during a pending
decision.
> - Harnesses publish different model and effort capabilities, so the
picker must follow the selected agent.
> - This pull request adds one responsive composer flow, keeps pending
cards visible above it, and protects Codex ACP authentication in the
local test path.
> - Operators can choose run settings, send a message, and answer a
pending card as separate actions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task composer UI, issue thread interactions, Codex ACP credential
handling, and Storybook.

**Problem or motivation**

The composer did not expose model or effort for the selected agent.
Mobile actions wrapped poorly. Pending questions and confirmations
replaced the composer. A local Codex ACP test could also reuse host
authentication after the managed key was removed.

**Proposed solution**

Put assignee search, model search, exact model IDs, effort, and fast
mode in one picker. Use a mobile dialog. Replace the direct-upload plus
action and separate mode selector with an Add menu and removable Plan or
Ask chips. Place pending interaction cards above the usable composer.
Keep these cards pending after an ordinary message unless their creator
asks for comment superseding. Replace managed ACP auth files atomically
and isolate the test key from host credentials.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md does not list an overlapping composer milestone. This change
improves the existing task and review flows.

## What Changed

- Added the combined assignee, model, and effort picker to both task
composers. Search matches agent name, role, and harness. The server uses
a curated Codex list by default and honors instance-declared models.
Manual IDs remain available.
- Added an effort slider for known model capabilities, a conditional
Codex fast control, and reset. The picker opens in a modal on mobile.
- Added the Add menu for files, supported goals, Plan mode, and Ask
mode. Plan and Ask are exclusive removable chips. Keyboard mode cycling
remains available.
- Adjusted mobile spacing, avatars, wrapping, and Send placement.
Removed the composer divider.
- Moved pending question, confirmation, review, and related cards above
the composer. Ordinary comments now leave question and confirmation
cards pending by default. The onboarding prompt retains explicit comment
superseding.
- Updated the Storybook composer group with responsive states and the
production picker. Added UI, service, route, and browser regression
coverage.
- Isolated Codex ACP API-key authentication, skipped subscription auth
merge and shared-home copy-back for remote API-key runs, and replaced
the managed auth file atomically.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed on the final local head.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed on the final local head.
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/adapter-models.test.ts
ui/src/components/task-chat/ComposerRunSettingsPicker.test.tsx` — 31
tests passed, including role and harness search, declared Codex models,
and filtering general OpenAI models.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts` — 74
tests passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/acp.test.ts` — 42 tests passed,
including remote API-key copy-back isolation.
- `pnpm test:run` — attempted locally; the embedded PostgreSQL test
database could not initialize on macOS. The isolated
`heartbeat-run-event-sequencing` suite reproduced that environment
failure. GitHub CI runs the full test matrix for this head.
- `pnpm build` — passed on the final head. `pnpm build-storybook` passed
after the last UI change; only server code, tests, and docs changed
afterward.
- Live local test drive — Codex ACP ran a task with a managed API key.
The test agent was restored to its default ACP configuration afterward.
- Review the interactive stories under the top-level Composer group with
`pnpm storybook`. Check a narrow desktop width and mobile Plan, Ask,
picker, and pending-question states.

## Risks

- A pending card stays open when an ordinary comment changes the
discussion. Its creator can set `supersedeOnUserComment: true` when a
new comment should replace it.
- Model and effort overrides persist on the task until reset or changed.
An unlisted manual model ID may fail when the provider runs it.
- Some harness catalogs do not report effort support. The picker hides
effort for those models.
- No database migration is required.

> 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 GPT-6 via Codex. This runtime does not expose the exact model ID
or context window to the task. The model used code execution and browser
tools.

DottaandPaperclip 890d11137f fix(ui): register artifact tabs without opening the panel (#14193)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks keep agent outputs in the Artifacts tab.
> - An output can arrive while the user writes a message or reads a
document.
> - Opening the side panel on arrival interrupts that work, especially
on mobile.
> - This pull request adds the Artifacts tab without opening the panel
or changing the selected tab.
> - Users can open their outputs when they choose.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
New agent outputs opened the task side panel or mobile drawer. An
arrival could also replace the selected document or workspace file.
Existing outputs did not always register an Artifacts tab.

**Expected behavior**
Register one Artifacts tab for existing and new outputs. Keep a closed
panel closed. Preserve composer focus, the selected tab, and document or
file links.

**Steps to reproduce**
Open a task from the inbox. Close its side panel. Enter a message draft.
Create an agent output in that task. The panel must stay closed and the
draft must keep focus. Open the panel to see the Artifacts tab. Repeat
on a mobile viewport.

**Paperclip version or commit**
Base commit: 0f14d2612.

Related work: #11226 and #11551.

## What Changed

- Register existing outputs and later arrivals without opening the panel
or selecting Artifacts.
- Keep open documents, workspace-file links, and the tab launcher
unchanged.
- Handle each document deep-link request once so query refreshes
preserve later manual selection.
- Deduplicate attachment and work-product arrivals. Preserve dismissed
tabs across repeated refreshes.
- Add desktop and mobile browser regression tests. Update artifact
presentation documentation.

## Verification

- The closed-panel regression failed before the fix in unit and
real-browser tests.
- All 158 focused UI tests pass, including the original deep-link cases.
- UI typecheck and token gates pass on this branch. Full typecheck and
production build passed on the passive-arrival candidate before the
existing PR integration.
- The two local desktop/mobile browser cases pass against real
API-created artifacts.
- Desktop and mobile staging checks pass on the combined staging
candidate. Artifact arrival preserved a closed pane, draft text, and
composer focus. Explicitly opening the pane showed the Artifacts tab.
- All 56 current-head check contexts are successful or intentionally
skipped at `17ad904455b9378552f07a6f6e51402c6d164688`, including full
typecheck, test shards, build, and browser suites. Greptile is 5/5 on
that commit with no unresolved review threads.
- The interrupted local broad validation was resumed; the remaining
serialized 64 files and 1,035 tests pass. Local database startup
failures passed after stale test resources were released.

## Risks

- Outputs no longer reveal the panel automatically. Users open the panel
to view them.
- The document request guard must still allow a new explicit deep link.
The regression tests cover this case.
- There are no API or database changes.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with code editing, shell tools, GitHub tools, and
browser verification. The exact serving model ID and context-window size
are not exposed in this session. Earlier implementation model metadata
is not available.

DottaandPaperclip 96bf004a79 fix: use persisted state for lifecycle continuation and retry budgets (#13888)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its control plane decides when a task can continue, wait, stop, or
complete.
> - Legacy continuation could change when an agent changed its wording
without changing task state.
> - Shared attempt counts also let repair and infrastructure retries
affect each other's limits.
> - This pull request uses persisted state and separate, bounded
allowances for these decisions.
> - If automatic repair stops, the task explains what happened and
offers a guarded retry.
> - Paired tests and real-provider evaluations verify that Stop,
approvals, ownership, and spending limits remain authoritative.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: Refs #13761, Refs #11126, Refs #13610. These cover
obsolete continuation dispatch and retry storms. Open and closed issues
and PRs were searched for related lifecycle, continuation, and retry
work.

**What happened?**
Legacy continuation depended on English wording and progress heuristics.
Repair, failure retry, and productive continuation could consume shared
counts. When bounded repair stopped, the task showed a technical
recovery message without a clear next action.

**Expected behavior**
Persisted disposition and owned execution paths determine the next
action. Missing disposition prompts bounded agent repair. Explicit work
mode determines planning mode. Narrative changes and raw activity counts
cannot replenish allowances. An exhausted repair shows a readable
notice. An explicit retry checks current controls and preserves the
assigned agent.

**Steps to reproduce**
Run `pnpm test:lifecycle-baseline`. The paired probes keep structured
state constant while varying completion, planning, blocker, and progress
prose. Run the explicit `lifecycle-baseline` and
`continuation-accounting` Product E2E suites for real-provider coverage.
In Storybook, open **Design previews / Recovery notice** to inspect the
production component's normal, pending, acknowledged, unavailable,
failure, and mobile states.

## What Changed

- Hide the image attachment button, icon, and drop/paste hint in answer
composers. Image paste and drop support remains available.
- Merge current master and retain both browser regression sets. Use a
production-stamped service worker in the offline recovery browser
fixture.
- Share one state-based legacy continuation decision across immediate,
delayed, and recovered dispatch. Bind bounded repairs to their source
run and episode.
- Remove title and description wording from work-mode authority. Agents
can still write requested plans in execution mode.
- Persist separate failure-retry and productive-continuation counters.
Disposition repair and resource waits cannot consume or reset those
allowances.
- Validate delayed repair identity, then recheck current gates before
provider dispatch. Fence native startup cancellation.
- Show **Agent needs attention**, a plain-language explanation, **Retry
agent**, and expandable details in both task interfaces. Report request
progress, acknowledgement, and errors inline.
- Store typed recovery notice metadata. Recognize older active notices
only through exact stored action and run IDs. Notice text never grants
retry authority.
- Use the existing recovery-action endpoint for retry. Recheck current
action, status, owner, agent availability, dependencies, active runs,
pending questions and confirmations, approvals, pause controls, and
budget. Duplicate requests do not wake twice.
- Add component, page, route, database, contract, and Storybook
coverage. Keep the scenario inventory and executable evals here.
Historical reports and snapshots live in the [commit-pinned
paperclip-evals
archive](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/ce3e5afcd4a1184650f586a2b5b8be5874c66c8b/experiments/2026-09-lifecycle-authority/README.md).
- Preserve unsaved project fields while the same project URL changes to
its canonical alias. Do not reuse data across projects or companies.
This separate fix addresses the repeated repository-editor browser
failure without changing the browser test.
- Keep the development service worker from intercepting Vite module
reloads. Update the connection-intent browser fixture to record progress
and completion through the agent API.

## Verification

Merge preparation on September 25, commit
`c1e8e4b7ddd9fbc4913ed55ce21b8e12906c2f97`:

- Merged master `bd2030932` and resolved the browser test-list conflict
by keeping both sets of regressions.
- Deterministic lifecycle baseline: 1,090/1,090 assertions passed; no
failures, skips, or missing selected evidence. Unit 423, runner 184,
database integration 397, grading 86.
- Browser support: 17/17 passed. The offline recovery test first failed
with an unstamped development worker, then passed with the production
stamp. Its assertions are unchanged.
- Focused interaction UI and offline fallback tests: 19/19 passed.
Verified the custom-answer composer in Storybook: no attachment controls
or hint; entering an answer enables Next.
- Recursive typecheck, production build, token gates, and diff checks
passed. The worktree is clean. No new real-provider campaign was run.
- Current CI and review: [Current PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36166011243):
55 successful checks and two optional Storybook skips. Greptile scored
this exact commit 5/5. Hiding the question attachment controls is an
intentional UI change; paste/drop remains available.

Earlier recovery UI verification, commit
`21be0fec0e90e86b6d662b8ee4831847cd041cdb`:

- Recursive typecheck, production build, token gates, and diff checks
passed.
- Focused UI coverage: 338 tests passed across six suites (336 before
the interaction guard, with the two affected suites rerun at 149 passed
after it). Covers both task interfaces, the real page mutation,
pending/error acknowledgement, stale state, and unavailable controls.
- Recovery database integration: 352 tests passed before the interaction
guard. The complete recovery-action and mutation-route suites passed 181
tests after it. The two new pending question/confirmation regressions
failed before the fix and passed afterward, including
resolved-interaction controls. Shared validator suite: 31 passed. E2E
catalog suites: 34 passed.
- Browser inspection passed for light/dark themes, mobile layout,
expandable details, pending retry, acknowledgement, failure, and
disabled retry. Storybook renders the production component; its request
is simulated.
- The broad local run hit two chat callback-order wait failures and was
stopped after all CI unit/database/runner shards passed. Both local
failures passed when rerun without the competing full-suite process.
- CI exposed a repeated project-repository draft-loss race during
canonical redirects. A new unit regression failed before the fix; all
nine project-page tests now pass, including controls for other projects
and companies. Both unchanged repository browser tests passed against a
fresh local server. UI typecheck, production UI build, and token gates
passed after this fix.
- [Earlier PR CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/36072486798)
on `21be0fec0e90e86b6d662b8ee4831847cd041cdb`: 55 successful checks, two
optional Storybook skips, and no failed or pending checks. The
repository browser shard passed with the production fix. Greptile is 5/5
on this exact commit with no unresolved review threads. The PR is
mergeable.

Historical, source-qualified lifecycle evidence:

- Lifecycle baseline: 1,074 assertions. Native session coverage: 447
tests. Product E2E support: 515 tests. Browser support: 11 tests. Full
earlier verification is retained in the archive.
- [Real-provider campaign: 8/8 passed, zero
retries](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35881382080-1/index.html),
source `e88d210417280140b44a36449027290adcb1aeaa`. Evidence and cleanup
checks passed. This includes deliberately exhausted repair cases that
correctly remain blocked; it does not mean every task finished Done.
This campaign predates the recovery UI change.
- Archive migration verified all 16 original JSON files byte-for-byte
and all 24 checksum entries. App tests do not need private archive
access. [Archive PR
#27](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/27) is merged.

## Risks

- Agents that omit durable disposition receive at most two repair
attempts by default. Prose-only completion exposes missing state rather
than silently changing scheduling.
- A retry is an explicit board action. The server rechecks current
controls. A successful response confirms the task returned to To do; it
does not claim that the provider has already started.
- Existing notice metadata remains valid. Only older active notices with
matching structured evidence receive the new UI. Historical notices
without that evidence keep their existing rendering. No schema migration
is required.
- Old run records require conservative retry accounting. Tests cover old
counters, alternating retry lanes, restarts, and exhausted repairs.
- Historical snapshots require private `paperclip-evals` access. The app
index retains public campaign links. Live campaigns qualify specific
sources and scenarios; no new real-provider campaign has run for the
recovery UI commit.

> This fixes existing lifecycle and recovery behavior and does not
duplicate planned core work.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation, reasoning, code
execution, and review. The exact serving model ID and context window are
not exposed in this task. Historical real-provider evaluations used
Codex model `gpt-5.6-sol`, separately from the implementation assistant.

DottaandPaperclip 2788f20fc0 fix(ui): show ancestors in the task detail Tasks panel (#13823)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Tasks form a hierarchy that explains why each piece of work exists.
> - The streamlined Tasks panel shows child tasks and work created by
the current task.
> - It does not show ancestors, although the task response already
includes them.
> - This pull request adds linked ancestors above Subtasks in
root-to-parent order.
> - Users can now move up the task hierarchy from the same panel.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related implementation: #13241. A search found no duplicate
ancestor-panel PR.

**What happened?**

The Tasks panel omitted the current task's ancestors. The streamlined
header also hides hierarchy breadcrumbs.

**Expected behavior**

The Tasks panel should show the ancestor chain and let users open each
ancestor.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task with a parent and grandparent in the streamlined UI.
2. Open the Tasks tab in the side panel.
3. Observe that it shows child and created tasks but no ancestors.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at 3d78e3a4e. Rebased onto 5f1100e3b before
submission.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. Verified with local Storybook fixtures that render
the production task page.

## What Changed

- Pass ancestors from the task response to the Tasks panel. Include them
in its task count.
- Show a collapsible Ancestors section above Subtasks. Reuse the
existing relation links and preserve navigation state.
- Keep the panel available for tasks that have ancestors but no children
or created work.
- Add tests and full-page, narrow, light, and ancestor-only Storybook
cases. Document the new cases.

## Verification

- Passed 129 targeted tests across TaskDetailTasksPanel,
TaskDetailRelationsPanel, and IssueDetail.
- Passed UI typecheck, UI build, Storybook build, and token gates before
the rebase.
- Opened the full production-page Storybook in the embedded browser.
Confirmed root-to-parent order and navigation to the parent task. The
user reviewed this preview before requesting the PR.
- Passed full local `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` on the rebased
commit.
- All remote checks passed on
`f54eebe5e0ba1d5c801545bc8edeaa875eee7682`: 53 successful checks, two
intentional Storybook skips, and a passing Snyk status. This includes
the full test matrix and browser E2E tests.
- Started local `pnpm test:run`, then stopped the duplicate run after
the full CI test matrix passed. The complete local test run is not
claimed as a pass.
- Greptile returned 5/5 with no actionable findings or inline review
comments.
- Manual review: open Storybook → UX Labs → Tasks Created From a Task →
With Ancestors. Check the ancestor links, independent collapse, and
Ancestors Only state.

## Risks

- Low risk. This adds UI for an existing company-scoped task response.
It adds no API, database, or network request.
- The display relies on the existing API order, which lists the
immediate parent first. A regression test verifies the reversed display
order.
- Tasks with no ancestors retain the existing empty and subtask states.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code editing, shell
execution, and browser tools. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

5d9b20ccf0 fix(ui): keep task composer available while pause state loads (#13562)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task messages enter through the shared task composer.
> - The task page waits for a separate tree-control query to find active
pause holds.
> - The old loading guard disables the composer until that request
settles. A slow or stalled request blocks messages on both desktop and
mobile.
> - This PR allows sends while that query is pending. The server still
rejects paused board messages before saving a comment or waking an
agent.
> - Query failures and known pause holds still block the composer.
> - Regression tests cover pending sends, successful responses, query
failures, and late root or inherited pauses.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes: #13561

Related: #13569 adds pending/error coverage for the same fix. This PR
now covers those cases and the late-pause transitions.

The report overstates two details: `isPending` clears after a successful
response, and the shared loading guard also affects mobile. The
reproduction holds the request pending. It does not prove why the
reporter's request remained unresolved.

## What Changed

- Preserve the original two-line fix that removes the pending-state
composer block.
- Add eight page regression cases using a real QueryClient and a
controlled API promise. Cover desktop and mobile, submission before the
query completes, successful resolution, rejected resolution, and late
root/inherited pause responses.
- Repair an existing server CI failure in a separate commit. Reuse the
shared unique-violation helper so Drizzle-wrapped duplicate inserts
become retryable document conflicts. Add a deterministic regression and
preserve unrelated database errors.
- Repair an existing Inbox test race in a separate commit. Wait for
workspace metadata, which resolves independently of the task list.

## Verification

- Red: restore the pre-fix `IssueDetail.tsx` and run the new `composer
tree control` cases. Both desktop and mobile pending-send cases fail
with `Checking task status…`. The other six cases pass.
- Green: restore the original PR fix. All 343 tests in IssueDetail,
TaskChatThread, and TaskChatComposer pass.
- The server comment/reopen and artifact-review suites pass (179 tests).
They include POST and PATCH pause checks that return 409 before any
comment, task mutation, or wakeup.
- The document error regression fails before the shared-helper fix and
passes after it. The document, artifact-review, and database-error
suites pass (31 tests). The handler matches only the issue-document key
constraint; revision and other constraint errors retain their original
identity.
- The Inbox suite passes (27 tests).
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passes.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass locally. The full CI matrix
passes on `5af1ed0b43269247aaba406cf4fd4d7fe1a22e75`: 54 successful
checks and two opt-in Storybook skips, including all general/serialized
tests, runner checks, release checks, and eight browser shards.
- One server shard initially hit an unrelated `EADDRINUSE` on test port
52000. Its single rerun passed without code changes.
- Greptile completed successfully on that exact commit with 5/5 and no
outstanding findings or review threads.
- The serial local `pnpm test:run` was started, then stopped after the
complete parallel CI matrix passed. It is not claimed as a completed
local full-suite run. The focused local suites above did finish
successfully.

For a manual reproduction, delay the task's `/tree-control-state`
response, open the task, and enter a message. Send should remain
available during the delay. Resolve the response with an active pause
hold and confirm that the pause takeover replaces the composer. Reject
the request and confirm that the error blocks sends.

## Risks

A user can attempt a send before the pause response arrives. The server
remains authoritative and returns 409 for a paused task before saving or
waking work. The known pause takeover and query-error block remain.
There are no schema, API, or styling changes.

The document change restores the existing conflict/retry behavior for
wrapped database errors. It does not retry unrelated database failures.
The Inbox change affects test synchronization only.

## Model Used

- Original fix: Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4.6 (`claude-sonnet-4-6`), 200k
context, tool use and code editing, as reported by the author.
- Review, regression tests, and CI repairs: OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`)
through Codex, with reasoning, tool use, and code execution. The session
does not expose its context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip d49f168381 fix: publish sandbox files on legacy and native runners (#13493)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents must publish generated files so users can inspect their
results after a sandbox stops.
> - Legacy sandbox bridges blocked attachment listing and could not
carry multipart binary uploads through the queue transport.
> - The native runner has a separate verified file registration path
that needs the same durable result.
> - This pull request repairs legacy binary transport, makes native
download receipts explicit, and reveals new outputs in the task
Artifacts tab.
> - Users can open generated files from either runner without a
transport flag change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13355 for the existing native file publication path. Related
filename fixes: #2615 and #4788. Related sandbox persistence work:
#13376. This change repairs attachment delivery through the existing
API; it does not add workspace persistence.

**What happened?**

The upload helper first lists task attachments to avoid duplicates. Both
legacy bridge allowlists rejected that GET request with 403. A direct
multipart upload also failed: the queue bridge accepted only JSON,
excluded attachment uploads, and converted bytes to UTF-8 text. Enabling
HTTP/2 alone did not fix the missing listing route. These failures
occurred before attachment storage.

**Expected behavior**

Both runners can publish a workspace file, register its work product,
bind it to a response, and return a working download. The file stays
accessible after sandbox deletion. A new output opens the task Artifacts
tab. The agent receives accurate errors and decides how to retry or
report a failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a legacy agent in Daytona with the duplex bridge disabled.
2. Invoke the bundled upload helper with Bash on a PNG or PDF.
3. Repeat with the duplex bridge enabled.
4. Register the same file through the native runner with generic API
tools disabled.
5. Retry registration, delete the sandbox, and compare the downloaded
bytes with the original file.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failing baseline was `f2c5e54dc`. This branch is rebased onto
`6cfe4acff`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with a local API and real isolated Daytona sandboxes.

## What Changed

- Allow authenticated attachment listing, upload, and content download
through both legacy bridge transports.
- Add optional base64 body encoding to queue envelopes. Preserve the
existing UTF-8 contract when the encoding field is absent. Decode binary
bodies before forwarding them.
- Preserve multipart headers. Bound raw bytes, encoded envelopes, and
in-flight reservations. Retain timeout and uncertain-write behavior.
- Preserve helper deduplication and return structured uncertain-write
failures. Document explicit Bash invocation in live skills.
- Add attachment IDs and content/download paths to native registration
receipts. Reuse verified local and remote file reads, attachment
storage, work-product registration, and response binding.
- Preserve Unicode upload filenames and provide a valid
Content-Disposition header.
- Open the task Artifacts tab when new stored outputs arrive, including
a closed desktop panel or mobile drawer. Deduplicate upload and
registration events by object ID. Preserve manual selection on
refetches, edits, and panel remounts.
- Remove task artifact filters, the company Artifacts footer link, and
the unassigned group heading and timestamp.

### Screenshot

![Generated images and a document in the task Artifacts
tab](https://pages.paperclip.ing/sandbox-file-delivery-2026-09-15/artifacts-tab.png)

This is the local display fixture. The image was generated separately
and published through the attachment and work-product APIs.

## Verification

- Post-rebase `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass.
- The post-rebase local `pnpm test:run` passed 12,369 tests before one
existing conversation reset test timed out; all 33 tests in that suite
pass when rerun with isolated test configuration. The aggregate command
stopped before its remaining groups. GitHub runs the complete suite in
separate shards.
- All [GitHub verification
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35017893350)
pass on `b66ac276dd3d5fc738a22ecea783400106a494d4`: 32 successful checks
and two configured skips. The native-session recovery assertion
initially raced its fire-and-forget Sentry report; all 13 tests pass
locally, and the same-commit CI rerun passes all 170 suites (3,079
tests).
- Live post-rebase Daytona: all three file-delivery tests pass. They
cover the real Bash helper with the queue bridge, the helper with
HTTP/2, and native `register_deliverable` with generic API tools
disabled.
- Daytona cases cover PNG/PDF bytes, spaced and Unicode names, duplicate
registration, response binding, authorization controls, and
byte-for-byte downloads after sandbox deletion.
- Local focused coverage includes transfer bounds, malformed encoding,
interrupted transfers, remote path containment, and native file
verification. The attachment route suite passes all 32 tests, including
an eight-case filename-header matrix for Unicode and special characters,
inline and forced downloads, and full and partial responses.
- Browser verification confirms image previews, persisted downloads,
automatic Artifacts selection, and preserved manual selection after
edits and reloads. Desktop/mobile component coverage passes. The latest
UI cleanup passes its 10 affected tests and token gates.
- Coverage limit: the Daytona tests call the real helper and native
registration path directly. They do not replay a complete model-led
image-generation task through the browser.

Live command (requires a configured Daytona credential):

```sh
PAPERCLIP_FILE_DELIVERY_DAYTONA=1 pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/file-delivery-bridges.test.ts
```

## Risks

- Binary queue bodies use more memory because base64 adds encoding
overhead. Transfer and process limits must remain aligned.
- An interrupted write can have an unknown result. The bridge reports
this state and preserves stable retry identities.
- New artifacts intentionally change the active task tab. Existing
history and repeated updates must not take focus again.
- Transport flag defaults, server authorization, frozen skill snapshots,
and completion policies remain unchanged. No schema migration is
required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser testing. The runtime does not expose a more
specific model ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip c9e3bb7ca4 fix: preserve queued work after native Stop and honor steering support (#13354)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their tasks.
> - The runner owns execution, while the task keeps user instructions
and status.
> - Stop must stop the current response without losing instructions that
the user already sent.
> - The queue stored its original reason inside saved context. Recovery
checked the outer deferred reason and left the message waiting.
> - Claude also exposed Steer through a shared method even though its
driver did not support it. A rejected request could remove its own error
row.
> - This pull request keeps queued work until execution has stopped,
uses the driver's real capability, and preserves completion event order.
> - Users can continue work without repairing task state or repeating
messages.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13338. Related recovery work: #13353.

**What happened?**

A message sent during a native run stayed queued after Stop. Claude
exposed an unsupported Steer action. A steering failure could hide the
queued row and its error. A terminal event could also precede the final
provider result, and subtree Stop omitted the board actor.

**Expected behavior**

Stop ends the current execution. Once Paperclip proves that execution
has stopped, it delivers the saved instruction once through normal
admission. Pause and recovery holds still prevent dispatch. Unsupported
controls stay disabled, and a rejected action leaves an actionable error
visible. Final results precede terminal events.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a Claude or Codex task that writes a file and then waits.
2. Send a follow-up instruction while it runs.
3. Press Stop. Check that the queued instruction runs once and preserves
the file.
4. Check Claude's Steer control and simulate a server rejection on the
only queued message.

## What Changed

- Recover saved native comments after acknowledged Stop using their
original wake reason.
- Require durable remote termination receipts or verified local process
termination before dispatch.
- Preserve actor identity, queued-message deduplication, Pause, and
recovery gates.
- Derive steering support from the driver descriptor and reject
unsupported calls.
- Keep the queue mounted until a steering request succeeds so its error
remains visible.
- Emit provider results before terminal events and pass the board actor
into subtree Stop.
- Document Stop and steering behavior.

## Verification

- Final-head continuation suite: 104 passed, after failing regressions
for saved wake reasons, cleanup proof, and deduplication of every queued
message. Steering UI: 121 passed. Driver capability: 26 passed. Runner
backend/transport: 205 passed; Rust library: 285 passed.
- Real Claude and Codex browser journeys both preserved the saved file,
delivered the queued instruction once after Stop, and reached Done with
exactly two total runs. The process Stop browser fixture also passed.
- Local full repository typecheck and build passed on `afaa35139`;
server typecheck and the affected 104-test suite passed after the final
queue changes. Token gates passed. Final-head CI verifies the complete
integrated source.
- Local aggregate evidence has explicit limits: the general-server
invocation overlapped the queue fixes and finished with 11,989 passed, 2
failed, and 80 skipped; both failures are covered by the final 104-test
pass. The UI and CLI then passed all 6,184 and 485 tests; the complete
145-file serialized rerun passed all 2470 tests. The shared-package lock
fixture passed unchanged on rerun, but the package phase subsequently
stopped at an embedded-Postgres bootstrap resource failure. No single
pristine green local full aggregate is claimed.
- Greptile reviewed `fa66e2bd5` at [5/5 with no unresolved
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13354#issuecomment-5650334242).
[Final-head CI completed
successfully](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34733781888/attempts/2):
33 successful checks, 2 conditional skips, including all server,
package, UI, browser, runner, typecheck, and build gates. The first
attempt hit a preview-readiness/port-collision fixture; its unchanged
local control passed 25 tests with 3 skips, and one supported unchanged
CI retry passed the affected shard and aggregate gates.

## Risks

- Queue recovery must never overlap an old execution. Unknown cleanup
state remains blocked.
- Driver descriptors are now authoritative for steering; a wrong
descriptor disables the action instead of attempting it.
- No schema migration or historical status reconciliation is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, code execution, browser
testing, and tool use. The exact hosted model ID and context-window size
are not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip 422287eecd fix: preserve runner recovery, warm sessions, and task outcomes (#13338)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task messages, provider execution, and
task outcomes.
> - First-time user tests exposed gaps in recovery, completion
permissions, message delivery, and Stop behavior.
> - These gaps left usable output hidden, completed work waiting for
bookkeeping, or safe work unable to continue.
> - This pull request fixes the shared lifecycle and receipt paths while
preserving process ownership and action checks.
> - Users can continue work with accurate task state and durable
messages.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A stopped local Codex execution could remain blocked even after its
processes had stopped and its complete transcript proved that no
external action needed replay. Claude under Conservative permissions
could fail to call task completion tools. Recovery could reuse an
assistant item ID and overwrite prior output. A delivered comment could
remain marked uncertain after navigation. Stop could look like Pause or
a new recovery incident. Workspace contention could look like
cancellation. A direct reply reopening Done could enter a clarification
loop.

**Expected behavior**

Recover automatically only with verified termination and complete action
receipts. Preserve answers and messages. Keep task completion available
under Conservative permissions without broad tool access. Show crashes
as Blocked, actual human decisions as In Review, and ordinary workspace
contention as waiting. Stop the current response and allow a new
direction.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create ordinary response tasks with local Codex and Claude Code, then
send follow-up messages through the task composer.
2. Interrupt a disposable local Codex runner during text-only work.
Verify automatic continuation and retained output.
3. Stop a response, send a new request, answer a clarification, and
reopen completed work with another message.
4. Navigate or reload while a comment submission is pending. Confirm the
exact persisted request receipt settles it without removing newer draft
text.
5. Run two tasks in a shared Daytona workspace. Confirm waiting does not
appear as failure.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Initial acceptance baseline: `c9021c6721f91e2c74bd9fee9d3fd41c999d17b7`.
Current integration base: `6cef9743c`. Both operator-interruption and
workspace-waiting guards are preserved; native restart and legacy
permission rules remain documented.

**Deployment mode**

An isolated source-built test-drive instance, with real local Codex and
Claude Code providers and disposable Daytona environments.

Related work: #13314, #13316, #13327, #13344, #13239, #13254, #13163.
This PR addresses additional failures from ordinary task journeys,
including controller restart handoff and repeated warm sandbox setup.
Historical task status reconciliation is excluded.

## What Changed

- Persist runner ownership immediately at spawn and resume an explicitly
adopted runner even when the controller crashed before the first driver
checkpoint. Detach the controller safely across graceful restarts,
including session startup. Prevent an old finalizer from suspending or
signaling an adopted runner. Checkpoint idle warm sessions before
shutdown. Preserve the same run and queued follow-up messages.
- Scope saved legacy queue successor checks to the queue owner while
preserving ordinary task locks, operator identity, assignment gates, and
exactly-once delivery.
- Preserve managed Codex credential files when an old session is
detached for restart; normal owned cleanup still copies refreshed auth
back and removes the scoped copy.
- Reuse the bound warm shared sandbox and fully verify an existing
staged provider pack before using it. This avoids repeated uploads when
the pack is already valid.
- Add a narrow local Codex replacement path with stopped-process proof,
a closed transcript inventory, exact completion receipts, and
fresh-session lineage. Preserve no-replay holds when evidence is
incomplete. Recovery may clear only the same run's recorded Blocked
status version; manual re-blocking and dependency changes invalidate
that receipt, while queued comments do not. Later blocks stop scheduled,
queued, and final dispatch; queued/final checks re-read dependencies
even when the task status stays In Progress.
- Permit only task delivery and human-input tools through the isolated
Claude runner's exact task bridge.
- Scope assistant item identity to the provider turn and ignore only
authority-free Codex skill-change notifications during startup.
- Reconcile composer submissions by client request ID across response
loss, navigation, and reload. Retain text typed during delivery.
- Keep acknowledged run-only Stop neutral and show workspace contention
as waiting. Project exhausted native failures as Blocked.
- Restore the guarded task-page retry action for failed legacy runs,
including the server-supported explicit new-attempt path for stopped
conversation adapters. Preserve native/process recovery holds and avoid
promising Retry while a decision or execution gate hides it.
- Refresh delivered artifacts and handle direct user replies that reopen
completed work without a clarification loop.
- Check the embedded PostgreSQL PID, data directory, and actual port
before connecting or migrating.
- Document accepted behavior and add focused regressions at lifecycle,
route, transcript, and UI boundaries.

## Verification

- Final head `fece606ac2` passes the complete GitHub CI matrix: **34
green checks, two expected Storybook skips, no failures or pending
checks**, including `ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`, full runner verification,
typecheck, build, every server/workspace shard, and all browser shards.
[CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34727183287).
Greptile is **5/5 with no open findings**. The final two commits only
refine test fixtures; both affected suites pass 24/24 locally and in CI,
with server typecheck green.
- Complete local Vitest coverage uses the canonical groups/shards: all
635 general server suites, all 145 serialized suites, and all workspace
packages. The aggregate began on `0a8001c18` while the final queue fix
arrived: 23,903 passed, five failed, 87 skipped. The five
port/socket/timing failures passed unchanged in follow-ups (60 tests in
the exposure/file suites and 412 tests covering the serialized failures
and unrun tails). The final queue/operator-identity suites separately
passed 52/52. This is aggregate coverage plus explicit reruns, not a
pristine single-command final-head run.
- After integration with current master,
queue/operator-identity/continuation suites passed 162/162 and affected
UI suites passed 140/140. ACP Stop/continuation and legacy
task/Inbox/message browser suites passed 9/9, including both task
recovery Retry and thread Try again, automatic saved-message delivery,
exactly one new run, Done, and retained output after reload. The default
process Stop/Pause/Resume browser case passed (the native-provider case
is opt-in and skipped by default). The complete Board attachment/receipt
browser suite passed 11/11 on a disposable instance, covering both
composers, exact receipts after lost responses, no replay, bound
attachments, and newer drafts after reload.
- Blocking-intent regressions cover pre-existing Blocked, a mismatched
run/cause, an explicit manual re-block, changed dependencies, a queued
comment after failure, and a block arriving between scheduling and
provider dispatch. The negative cases reproduced before the fix. All 478
affected executor/recovery/dispatch tests passed; both database suites
ran separately after availability-probe skips in the first combined
command. The final late-dependency check passed all 143 affected
recovery/dispatch tests (zero skips) after two new negative cases
reproduced the bug.
- Focused runtime regressions cover awaited runner ownership
publication, authenticated adoption before the first checkpoint,
old-finalizer detachment, idle and busy warm-session shutdown, rejected
checkpoint propagation, provider-pack verification, and managed-Codex
credential preservation. Four managed credential detachment cases
reproduced the bug before the fix; normal owned cleanup still succeeds
exactly once.
- Live local Claude: SIGKILL 2.6 seconds into startup recovered the same
run automatically in 53 seconds, then a normal follow-up completed in 24
seconds. SIGTERM 2.5 seconds into startup preserved the same run (54
seconds) and its queued follow-up (21 seconds). Answers remained visible
and the task reached Done.
- Live Claude Daytona: a warm follow-up retained its sandbox and fell
from 121 seconds to 44 seconds. A separate cold turn took 127 seconds;
after controller shutdown and checkpointing, its follow-up completed in
33 seconds with the same sandbox, workspace, native session, and runner.
Both answers remained visible and the task was Done.
- Other live journeys covered task completion and follow-up with local
and Daytona Codex, local Codex crash recovery, Stop then new direction,
clarification response, live artifact refresh, and shared-workspace
waiting.
- Validation limits: the opt-in native composer Stop/Pause→subtree
Resume fixture exposes terminal/result ordering and subtree-cancellation
attribution bugs that can leave a child task blocked; that new finding
is assigned to a separate follow-up and is not claimed fixed here.
Default CI skips this optional native-provider fixture. Managed-Codex
credential handoff and the queue-agent integration use automated
regression evidence. Cold custom provider-pack uploads still add startup
latency.

## Risks

- Automatic replacement remains deliberately narrow: local Codex,
verified stopped identities, unchanged retained state, and a complete
text/completion-only turn. Unknown actions, partial history, or changed
ownership remain blocked.
- Claude completion permission handling changes an upstream package
patch. The exact isolated task bridge must remain pinned; unrelated
tools keep their existing permissions.
- New task failure projection changes user-visible status. No historical
status backfill or database migration is included.
- This is a broad lifecycle fix across server and UI. Live proof covers
graceful local Claude restart during startup and idle Claude Daytona
session recovery across controller shutdown. Live abrupt SIGKILL during
local Claude startup also recovered the same run. Unknown ownership or
missing action evidence still blocks reuse. Cold custom provider-pack
uploads still add startup latency; this change avoids unnecessary repeat
uploads.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, code execution, browser
automation, and tool use. The exact hosted model ID and context window
are not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip df984cbc2c fix: dispatch queued legacy messages with operator identity and task permissions (#13315)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task conversations save messages that arrive during an active turn.
> - Legacy adapters deliver these messages in a later turn.
> - A run can stop before the saved queue is delivered.
> - The Interrupt button previously required an active run, so it could
not release this queue.
> - This pull request lets a board operator send the saved queue after
the run stops and retries queues missed during finalization.
> - Manual dispatch must use the clicking operator and must not require
permission to create agents.
> - The task can continue without a duplicate message or a second
execution owner.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A legacy task retained a queued message after its run stopped. Interrupt
was disabled because the queue had no active target. Finalization and
deferred message admission can also leave a queue without a successor.

**Expected behavior**

Interrupt sends the saved messages when no runner is active. Messages
that arrive during normal completion are delivered automatically. An
uncertain previous execution still requires proof that its process or
sandbox stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Queue a user message during a legacy conversation turn.
2. Let the turn stop or simulate a server restart before queue
promotion.
3. Open the task with a deferred queue and no active run.
4. Try Interrupt. Before this change, the button is disabled.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `8f40b4ad4`.

**Deployment mode**

Legacy conversation adapter. The same persisted queue state is covered
with an isolated PostgreSQL fixture.

Related public work: #13275 adds active legacy interruption. #13291
addresses automatic sandbox conversation recovery. This change handles
explicit saved-queue delivery and late queue promotion.

## What Changed

- Accept a null Interrupt target while retaining queue identity,
revision, company, and assignee checks.
- Save the operator's request on the existing queue. Reuse normal
admission after verified stop, including older messages, different
authors, and queues whose original wake came from the system.
- Strip interruption authority from caller-supplied wake payloads. Only
the board queue route can persist that authority.
- Retry durable interruption requests after restart and deferred queues
after legacy cleanup.
- Let an explicit Interrupt retry cleanup for its stopped run, including
old ephemeral leases that recorded success without a provider stop
receipt. Preserve retained resources, other lease owners, and the
automatic retry limit.
- Preserve the server's waiting explanation when normalizing and
combining queue entries.
- Revalidate the consumed board queue receipt at dispatch so a different
message author does not cause setup failure.
- Use the Interrupt user's execution identity for the new run. Preserve
original message authors. Validate the receipt independently at startup
and inherit the resulting identity on retry.
- Persist authenticated board authority for ordinary manual wakes too.
Adopting someone else's queued messages cannot switch a manual run to
that author's permissions. Strip caller-supplied authority markers and
retain private conversation ownership checks.
- Keep the clicking user when a manual wake is merged into an older
deferred receipt. Update its requester and payload in the same
transaction.
- Use the same current-queue/revision API on task details and pipeline
conversations; show Interrupt after a legacy target stops.
- Keep manual wakes out of active runs, including unscoped agent wakes.
They receive their own execution identity; a matching receipt requester
is not sufficient because an exact retry can retain a different
originating identity.
- Authorize both existing-agent wake endpoints with `agent:wake`,
available to active non-viewer company members. Keep `agents:create` for
hiring. Validate the stored task and current assignee before an exact
task retry.
- Reject viewer Interrupt requests before saving intent or stopping
execution. Keep external chat retry authorization and per-action
agent/user permission checks.
- Preserve edits and discards until dispatch. Prevent another queue
promotion when the same agent already has a successor. Keep independent
reviewer recovery available.
- Suppress cancelled/failed run toasts for intentional operator
interruption. Keep ordinary runtime error notices.
- Add UI, route, admission, restart, successor ownership, and toast
regression tests. Document the behavior.
- Reuse the existing socket reservation helper for both
credential-quorum test cases after CI exposed an ambient-port collision.
This changes test preparation only; production credential staging is
still called exactly once.

## Verification

- Failing regression tests reproduced the message-author identity bug
and an operator's `agents:create` rejection before the fixes.
- All 316 focused tests pass across eight route, queue, identity,
authorization, continuation, and responsible-user suites, including the
44-test rerun of queue admission and actual startup after the final
manual-wake restriction. Regressions reproduce cross-user merging both
with and without a task, and same-requester receipt ambiguity. The
cross-company existence guard also passes both tests.
- Startup integration tests reach adapter execution under the clicking
operator and retain that identity through follow-up. Coverage includes
mixed authors, adopted queues, system-origin queues, restarts, forged or
stale receipts, viewers, suspended memberships, changed assignees,
private conversations, and caller-supplied authority markers.
- The earlier queue/cleanup/UI regression suite passed 402 tests. The
final review corrections pass another 180 tests across queue
admission/persistence, real heartbeat startup, UI API, conversation
rendering, and pipeline suites. Regression tests reproduced both review
findings before correction. The final head has a 5/5 review with no
unresolved threads. Full CI passes on `c2002979c`, including every
general and serialized server shard, all browser shards, Paperclip
Runner verification, typecheck, build, canary dry run, and the aggregate
gates.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and UI token gates pass after
the final application changes. CI identified an outdated task-page API
mock after the shared helper extraction; the fixture now exercises the
real helper, and all 131 task-page/API tests pass. The final application
build passes with the additional manual-wake restriction.
- CI exposed a pre-existing port collision in the Codex
credential-quorum fixture. It reproduced locally; both listener cases
now use the existing bounded reservation helper. All 41 credential tests
pass on rerun. One intervening local run hit a separate ambient bind
collision in the two-occupied-port case.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt was stopped after host
contention caused focused-suite timeouts. The affected focused tests
passed on rerun. An expiring trace fixture and a missing
private-conversation state were corrected. The successful full CI run is
the complete-suite verification.
- Hosted Interrupt previously cleared the original queue and produced
exactly one successor with neutral interruption feedback. It exposed the
dispatch authorization defect. Retry on that earlier build was rejected
for missing `agents:create` before creating another run.
- Deployed the final application build (`38257f391`) to the scoped
hosted instance and verified readiness. The latest PR commit changes
only the credential test fixture; application code matches that
deployment. A live Retry by the same operator without `agents:create`
created one successor attributed to that operator, passing the former
dispatch permission gate. Startup then stopped at
`configuration_incomplete` because that operator has not configured
their required personal Claude Code OAuth secret; the post-deployment
run page confirms the operator identity and no provider work started,
and the My secrets UI still shows the token as not set. Provider
execution remains unverified pending that credential. No permission
grants or credentials were changed.

## Risks

Queue admission and finalization can race. The task lock, durable queue
receipt, current comment IDs, and successor guard prevent duplicate
dispatch. Process and lease stop checks, task pauses, approvals,
ownership, and budgets remain in force. The API change only allows null
on legacy Interrupt; native steering still requires an active run. No
schema migration is required. Active non-viewer board members can now
invoke existing agents without agent-creation permission. Agent
self-invocation rules, raw provider-trace admin access, task retry
scope, external chat authorization, and action-specific user/agent
permissions remain enforced.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The session does not expose an exact backend
model ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, repository search, code
execution, tests, and browser tools.

DottaandPaperclip ab15aff390 feat: add experimental persistent agent chat (#13284)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Conversations must use the same tasks, controls, and execution
history.
> - Users need an ongoing chat with an agent without managing task
properties.
> - Agents should clarify and plan work, then hand execution to assigned
project tasks.
> - This pull request combines the reviewed Agent Chat stack for one
squash merge.
> - The benefit is persistent conversation with normal task governance
and shared UI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Task lifecycle, agent runtime tools, shared task UI, and browser/paid
runner tests.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need one persistent conversation with each agent. A separate chat
store or renderer would duplicate task behavior and bypass existing
controls.

**Proposed solution**

Use a task-backed chat per company, user, and agent. Reuse the task
composer and transcript. Clarify and plan in chat, then create assigned
project tasks with the relevant plan. Keep Agent Chat behind its own
disabled-by-default experimental setting.

**Roadmap alignment**

This implements the task-backed direction in [CEO
Chat](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/master/ROADMAP.md#-ceo-chat).
Related proposals: #2504 and #9693. Related request: #7981. The
maintainer requested one squash merge of the complete stack.

Consolidates the reviewed runtime
[#13281](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13281), backend
[#13282](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13282), and UI
[#13283](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13283) layers
with this PR's E2E coverage. All four layers passed CI and received
Greptile 5/5 before consolidation. This PR targets master and includes
the complete feature.

## What Changed

- Add personal canonical chat tasks with ordinary company visibility,
immutable identity, idempotent first sends, and an idle waiting state.
- Process `/new` in queue order. Preserve history, release a chat pause,
and fence old provider context and delayed writes.
- Keep chat lifecycle rules across recovery, finalization, assignment,
task lists, and rollups.
- Support research and plan revision in chat. Hand plans to ordinary
assigned project tasks before execution starts. Reject new chat
subtasks.
- Add repository-aware project creation and discovery tools, including
multiple repository IDs and GitHub URLs, authorization, idempotency, and
durable project-created cards.
- Reuse task UI components for chat, with starred/recent agent
navigation and a separate `enableAgentChat` experimental flag.
- Add deterministic browser tests and 24 paid chat cells across four
Codex/Claude profiles, with validated reports and screenshots.
- Integrate current master recovery, controller lease, queued-message,
and task UI changes. Gate chat interruption and deferred promotion on
ownership/feature policy. Guarantee lease renewal and active controls
are stopped even if teardown fails.
- Preserve master's migration 0273 and generate chat migration 0274 with
idempotent replay for development databases.

## Verification

- Prior exact heads of all four PRs passed Linux CI, including build,
typecheck, general/serialized tests, and browser E2E. Each had Greptile
5/5 and no unresolved findings.
- Integrated local verification passed: full repository typecheck and
production build, Storybook build, token gates, 340 focused UI tests,
all 20 deterministic chat browser tests, two migration replay tests, 88
focused chat/queue/native/controller tests, and provider/session
regressions including real lease expiry. These include the three
lifecycle regressions for the final admission/teardown fixes; server
typecheck also passes. Current head
`1268eda16cc2af892055917e7292f068820be135` has Greptile 5/5 with no
unresolved findings and passing security scans. All final-head CI gates
passed: build, full Runner verification, typecheck/release registry,
canary, all general/serialized test shards, and all browser E2E shards
([CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34696739927)).
Local PostgreSQL startup contention required serialized retries; skipped
fixtures do not count as passing coverage.
- The earlier paid campaign passed all 24 chat cells and retained 32
screenshots:
[report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-34648511170-1/index.html?report=agent-chat#suite-agent-chat).
It tested `abacbdfd2f660709ec37312cdb758284c8399d04`; it is prior
evidence, not a paid run of this integrated head.
- Manual check: enable Agent Chat in Experimental settings, open an
agent, clarify and revise a plan, then hand off to an assigned project
task. Stop a reply, send `/new`, and verify fresh context with retained
history. Disable the setting and verify agent shortcuts/new chat turns
are blocked.

## Risks

- Queue/session integration can affect retries and delayed writes. Tests
cover ownership, cancellation, reset boundaries, idle recovery, and
ordinary task behavior.
- Migration 0274 adds conversation fields and constraints. Replay is
idempotent and preserves existing development chat history.
- This combines the previously reviewed stack at the maintainer's
request. Agent Chat remains off by default and is separate from
Conference Room.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with reasoning, code
execution, browser tools, and parallel review. The exact context-window
size is not exposed in this session. Codex and Claude also ran as test
subjects in the linked paid campaign.

DottaandPaperclip f12b647ae8 fix: reliably interrupt and resume legacy message queues (#13275)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task can collect more messages while its agent works.
> - Legacy runners must stop the active process before they can receive
those messages.
> - The old Interrupt action cancelled the run but could leave the queue
idle and hidden.
> - Codex could also classify a cancelled run as successful or start a
fresh process after cancellation.
> - This pull request joins cancellation, preserves the provider
session, and dispatches the current queue after cleanup.
> - The benefit is reliable interruption with the saved message order,
edits, and deletions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Interrupt could strand a legacy message queue. The UI could hide pending
messages after the run stopped. A Codex signal exit could race the
cancellation write. A stale session warning could also trigger a fresh
process after an interrupted resume.

**Expected behavior**

Interrupt stops the active turn and sends the remaining messages once,
in their saved order. Deleted messages stay deleted. An interrupted
Codex turn keeps its session and does not restart itself.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Assign a task to a legacy Codex agent that runs a long command.
2. Queue three messages. Edit one, discard another, and move the last
message first.
3. Click Interrupt in the queue.
4. Repeat the interruption while the resumed session runs another
command.

Related work: Refs #13160, which moves native queue steering into the
wake-queue module. This change fixes legacy interruption and keeps
native steering unchanged.

## What Changed

- Add a revision-checked, company-scoped endpoint for legacy queue
interruption.
- Promote only the requested queue after the provider stops and releases
its lease. Retry its persisted interrupt intent from the scheduler after
a promotion error or server restart.
- Keep pending legacy queues visible after a run stops. Use server state
for the interrupt result.
- Serialize owned process cancellation before classifying the adapter
result. Preserve late session and log metadata. Acknowledge cancellation
only when an actual process or process group was owned; scheduler
placeholders retain their normal release policy.
- Send Ctrl-C to legacy Codex. Prevent missing-session fallback once the
session has started.
- Add cancellation race, multi-actor queue order, durable retry, resume
fallback, and stale request regression tests. Document the behavior.

## Verification

- Real browser tests passed with legacy Codex CLI and ACP engines, using
Codex 0.153.4 and gpt-5.6-sol.
- All three automated ACP browser scenarios passed locally: immediate
Interrupt delivery, no replay of an unfinished write, and pause
requiring Resume. Updated the old test expectation that required a
separate “go” after Interrupt.
- Browser tests covered queued edits, deletion, reordering, deleting the
final message, and repeated interruption.
- Two consecutive CLI interrupts kept one provider session. Both stopped
processes exited. The final message arrived once.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- All 346 post-review scheduling, recovery, queue-route,
archived-company, worktree-suppression, and stale-queue regression tests
passed.
- All 318 process-recovery and durable-chat tests passed after the final
cancellation guard.
- Codex adapter, queue UI, issue-page, and OpenAPI contract tests
passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Full local suite coverage completed with
`PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false`, using the stable runner and its CI
shards: 618 general server suites, all 145 serialized server suites, and
all workspace groups. Every failing suite passed a targeted rerun after
the fixes, rebuilding the native test fixture, correcting macOS
temporary-path setup, or retrying setup/timing failures. Existing skips
remain.
- The original monolithic run reported failures before the final fixes;
its failed suites were rerun rather than rerunning all 618 suites again.
The final process-recovery/durable-chat regression run passed all 318
tests.
- All CI checks passed for `e30eaf787f23a5511a3cb3cdb5abbccab9ed001d`:
[run 34654820774, attempt
2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34654820774/attempts/2),
including typecheck, build, all test shards, E2E, and canary. The
signoff and Cursor sandbox tests each hit a timeout in the initial
attempt; both suites passed locally, and both failed shards passed their
single CI rerun. All three corrected ACP browser scenarios passed in CI.
- Greptile reviewed `e30eaf787f23a5511a3cb3cdb5abbccab9ed001d`: 5/5, no
open review threads.

## Risks

Cancellation order affects local adapters. The tests cover signal exits,
graceful exits, adapter exceptions, termination errors, and cancellation
write errors. Embedded adapters keep their cancellation controls.
Ordinary run cancellation and task pause keep their distinct queue
policies. No database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, browser testing, and code
execution. The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session. The live test runner used OpenAI gpt-5.6-sol.

DottaandPaperclip a27dd722a2 fix(ui): restore task page archive shortcut (#13253)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task detail page gives operators keyboard shortcuts for fast
task work.
> - The `y` shortcut must archive the open task from the inbox and
return the operator to the inbox.
> - A streamlined UI gate limited this shortcut to tasks opened from a
selected inbox row.
> - Direct task pages no longer ran the shortcut.
> - This pull request removes that gate and adds regression coverage.
> - The benefit is consistent keyboard operation from every visible task
page.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The `y` keyboard shortcut did nothing on a task page opened outside the
inbox.

**Expected behavior**

The `y` shortcut archives the open task from the inbox and returns the
operator to `/inbox`.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable keyboard shortcuts.
2. Open a visible task from the Tasks page.
3. Press `y` while focus is outside an editor.
4. Observe that the task does not archive.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current `master` before this pull request.

**Deployment mode**

Local development.

## What Changed

- Enable the `y` archive shortcut on every visible task detail page when
keyboard shortcuts are enabled.
- Keep the existing input, dialog, modifier, hidden-task, and
pending-request guards.
- Verify that `y` archives the task and navigates to `/inbox` for a task
opened from the Tasks page.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx
ui/src/lib/keyboardShortcuts.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issueDetailBreadcrumb.test.ts` (139 tests passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build`
- The full workspace typecheck and build reached the Rust runner. This
environment does not include `cargo`, so the Rust steps did not run.
- The full test suite entered unrelated serialized external-chat
integration tests. It was stopped after the affected UI suite passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change restores the shortcut behavior that existed
before the streamlined UI gate.
- The shortcut still ignores text inputs, open dialogs, modifier keys,
and hidden tasks.

DottaandPaperclip 847d00bdc3 fix(ui): use full mobile width for task tree (#13250)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app that people use to manage AI agents
for work.
> - The task detail page gives operators a task tree in a mobile side
panel.
> - The mobile sheet did not set an explicit full width.
> - A maximum width rule could make the task tree narrower than the
phone viewport.
> - This pull request makes the mobile task tree sheet use the full
viewport width.
> - The benefit is a consistent and readable task tree on phones.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The task tree sheet could use less than the full viewport width on a
mobile task page.

**Expected behavior**

The task tree sheet must use the full available phone width.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task on a phone viewport.
2. Open the task side panel.
3. Select the Tasks tab.
4. Compare the sheet width with the viewport width.

**Paperclip version or commit**

`7b829efdf`

**Deployment mode**

Built from source.

## What Changed

- Set the mobile task side panel to `w-full` and `max-w-none`.
- Add regression assertions for both width classes.

## Verification

- `vitest run src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx --config vitest.config.ts`
passes 103 tests.
- `node scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` passes all four token gates.
- `git diff --check` passes.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only affects the mobile task side panel width.
- The desktop panel and other sheet variants do not change.

DottaandPaperclip 7b829efdf6 feat: show tasks created from a task by project (#13241)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A task can cause an agent to create more tasks.
> - Those tasks can belong to other projects or have another parent.
> - The subtask view does not show all work created from the current
task.
> - This pull request adds a Tasks tab with separate subtask and
creation groups.
> - Operators can follow created work without changing its parent or
project.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Operators need to see all work that an agent creates while running for a
task. Parentage alone does not describe this relationship. Legacy and
native runs must follow the same rules.

**Proposed solution**

Show all subtasks in one section. Separately group tasks created from
the source task by their current project, with a No project group when
needed. A created subtask appears in both sections. Use saved run
context and recorded creation activity to find the source task.

**Alternatives considered**

Making all created tasks children would change their hierarchy. Removing
overlap between sections would hide the creation relationship. This
change keeps the two memberships separate.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing Activity log & action attribution capability.
It does not add a new roadmap area. Related PR: #9727 adds a stored
source-task field and inbound attribution UI. This PR adds the outgoing
task list using existing run and activity records and does not require
that schema change.

## What Changed

- Add a company-scoped createdFromIssueId filter to issue lists.
- Save the actor run during task creation, including legacy child-helper
calls.
- Recover historical run attribution from creation activity when the
origin run is absent.
- Render the production Tasks panel with all subtasks and independently
grouped created work.
- Keep progress only for subtasks. Add folding, hover fades and project
links.
- Fetch all result pages and refresh on issue activity. Show load
failures with Retry.
- Add database, API, UI and pagination tests, design-guide examples and
Storybook pages.

## Verification

- Before rebase: 158 targeted tests passed. Workspace typecheck,
UI/server builds, Storybook build and token gates passed.
- After rebase: full workspace typecheck and build passed. The cursor
fix passes 26 focused tests and UI/server typechecks.
- The full local test command completed its general-server group with
10,563 passing tests and two failures: a missing native-runner fixture
and a concurrency-test timeout. Building the fixture and rerunning both
affected files passed all 41 tests. The local command stopped before its
remaining groups; all corresponding GitHub test shards passed on the
submitted head.
- GitHub checks on commit 3b4bf0bd8: 31 passed, including the aggregate
CI gate, all server/workspace/browser test shards, typecheck, build,
runner verification, canary dry run, policy and security checks. Two
conditional Storybook jobs were skipped by the workflow.
- Greptile reviewed commit 3b4bf0bd8 at 5/5 with no unresolved comments.
- Open Storybook at UX Labs / Tasks Created From a Task / Full Task
Page. Check that a created subtask appears in both sections. Fold each
group and use a project link. Check the No project group and first-task
arrival story.

## Risks

- Old tasks without a saved origin run or attributed creation activity
cannot be linked to a source. The code does not infer a source from a
shared creator or a comment.
- The new list filter reads run and activity records. Source, run,
activity and result stay within the requested company.
- Task creation now saves the actor run when no explicit origin run is
supplied. Existing explicit origins remain unchanged. No database
migration is required.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The runtime identifies the model family as
GPT-6 but does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window
size. Used reasoning, repository tools, code execution and browser
inspection.

DottaandPaperclip 52811c6ce6 fix(tasks): require resume before sending to paused tasks (#13232)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task execution controls let board users pause a task or its subtree.
> - The composer still accepted messages while a pause hold was active.
> - A paused task must require an explicit resume before the user can
send another message.
> - This pull request replaces the composer with an amber pause card and
checks board comment writes on the server.
> - The user keeps their draft and resumes through the existing task
controls.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13104. Refs #13119.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The task composer and existing task/subtree pause controls.

**Current behavior**

A paused task can still receive a board message. The pause notice sits
outside the composer, which leaves the send action available.

**Proposed behavior**

Show an amber takeover in both task chat and the classic composer.
Preserve the draft. Require the user to resume the task or the ancestor
subtree before sending. Reject board comment writes through either
supported write route while the pause hold is active.

**Breaking changes**

Board comment writes to a paused task now return HTTP 409. Agent run
reports remain supported during a pause. There is no schema migration.

## What Changed

- Add a shared amber composer takeover with task, subtree, saved draft,
pending, and error states.
- Use effective ancestor pause state in both composer interfaces.
Refresh it after pause events, task updates, and rejected sends.
- Preserve draft text and attachments. Hide editor, send, queued edit,
and pending question controls while paused.
- Check active pause holds before board comment writes can mutate tasks,
store comments, or wake agents.
- Connect the approved Storybook examples to the production component
and update the design and behavior docs.
- Add browser coverage for both composers, draft persistence, resume,
inherited holds, and rejected writes. Update ACP continuation coverage
for the explicit resume requirement.

## Verification

- Passed: `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Passed: `pnpm build`.
- Passed: `pnpm build-storybook`.
- Passed: `pnpm check:token-gates` and `git diff --check`.
- Passed: focused UI tests (398 tests) and server route tests (127
tests).
- Passed: `pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts tests/e2e/paused-composer.spec.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts` (5 tests).
- Passed: manual browser walkthrough in a disposable local instance.
Pause with a draft, refresh while paused, resume, send, and reopen. The
draft returned, and one message persisted. The amber card and resume
dialog were readable with no clipping.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` did not pass: the general-server stage
recorded 9,072 passing tests, 6 database setup failures from macOS
shared-memory exhaustion, and 4 failed tests. This stopped the script
before its later groups. Latest-head CI runs those groups independently.
- Local follow-up: the Git file-resource load test passed on rerun (4
tests); native finalization migration passed after clearing the
abandoned browser-test database allocation. Building the native debug
fixtures fixed the missing fake provider. The remaining native-session
recovery assertion also reproduces on untouched base commit `87b3e5fc6`
(36 pass, 1 fail on both base and PR). It expects a settled-session
error but receives a semantic-input-digest error.
- The final UI build, UI typecheck, token gates, both thread suites (182
tests), and all five browser tests passed after the queued-action review
fix. All 31 latest-head CI checks passed, including all server,
workspace, browser, build, release, and security gates. Two optional
Storybook jobs were skipped by workflow policy. Greptile reviewed
`32d8fb5f5` at 5/5 with no open findings.
- Review the Paused Composer and Tasks / Execution Controls stories.
Pause a task with a draft, verify the amber card, resume, and verify the
draft can be sent once.

## Risks

- Clients that used board comments to continue paused work must resume
first. The response is an explicit HTTP 409.
- Pause state can change while a page is open. Live updates refresh the
composer, and the server rejects stale sends before their side effects.
- Resume keeps the existing dialog and optional agent wake behavior.
Agent reports from interrupted runs remain allowed.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, assisted with design, implementation, code
execution, and browser verification. The exact runtime model ID and
context window are not exposed in this session. The agent used reasoning
