9b7bd41833 feat(ui): refine dashboard cards, charts, and recent lists (#13269)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use the dashboard and Live runs page to inspect current
and recent runs.
> - Large transcript cards take space and make it hard to compare run
states.
> - A compact card must show the agent, linked task, and time, with
access to run details.
> - This pull request applies the supplied card design to both views.
> - Operators can scan more runs and open a run or task for details.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The agent run cards on the dashboard and Live runs page, plus dashboard
charts and recent lists.

**Subsystem affected**

`ui/` — React board UI.

**Current behavior**

Both views show large cards with embedded transcripts. Queued and
running cards share a live treatment. The dashboard chart grid leaves an
empty column, recent lists use different row sizes, and some activity
labels expose raw event names.

**Proposed behavior**

Both views use the same compact grid. Each card shows the existing
initials avatar, the agent name, one linked task row, and a
right-aligned timestamp. There is no status chip next to the agent name.
The timestamp uses small Inter text and the same muted gray as dashboard
metric descriptions. Recovery details remain in the task view. Run
status remains in the header tooltip and accessible label, and run
transcripts remain in the run detail view. The shared in-progress task
icon is now an animated circular spinner across the app.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can scan task states without scrolling through embedded
output. The in-progress spinner keeps the shared task icon sizes,
circular shape, and stroke width. It honors reduced-motion preferences.

**Breaking changes**

The dashboard and Live runs page no longer show transcripts inside
cards. Open the agent header to inspect a run. There are no API or
database changes.

**Additional context**

Related public work found during the duplicate search:

- Refs #4317 — related run-state display concerns. This change does not
change server state reconciliation.
- Refs #11394 — related live-run cache updates. This change retains the
existing data flow.
- Refs #2118 — related navigation from agent cards. The card header here
opens the specific run.

## What Changed

- Apply compact cards to the dashboard and Live runs page, with status
icons and theme tokens.
- Use 16 × 16px status icons in the shared cards, including the
missing-task clock.
- Keep the existing circular initials avatar. Remove the status chip
beside the agent name while preserving the run label for tooltips and
accessibility.
- Replace the shared in-progress task glyph with an animated open
circle. Use the same 10-unit radius and 2-unit stroke as the other task
glyphs, with a reduced-motion guard across all task status surfaces.
This is the requested workflow-status indicator across the app,
including between runs; live indicators separately report active
execution.
- Use the same Tailwind blue tokens as nav dots and Live labels for the
progress icon: blue-400 in dark mode and blue-600 in light mode.
Covered-blocked icons follow the same blue token.
- Match the Tasks by Status chart's In Progress bar and legend to the
spinner's theme-aware color token.
- Distribute the three visible dashboard charts across equal-width
desktop columns, preserving existing gaps, card padding, and page
margins. Retain four columns when the optional priority chart is
enabled.
- Use the done task icon's `--status-task-icon-done` token for green
bars in Run Activity, Tasks by Status, and Success Rate, including their
legends.
- Use the blocked task icon's `--status-task-icon-blocked` token for red
bars and legends in Run Activity, Tasks by Status, Success Rate, and
priority charts.
- Align Recent Tasks live counts to the sidebar's right edge. Reveal the
ellipsis over a fading row surface on hover, keyboard focus, and while
its menu is open, without moving the label or count.
- Keep the ellipsis backdrop synchronized with the row background during
fade-out, using the actual sidebar surface in both themes to prevent a
darker flash.
- On coarse-pointer devices, reserve space for the always-visible
ellipsis and disable its fade so the live count remains readable beside
it.
- Order desktop dashboard Recent Tasks as status icon, task title, agent
avatar/name, 11px monospace task ID, then timestamp. In narrow cards,
keep the ID right-aligned beside the truncated title and place the agent
and timestamp on the second line.
- Give both dashboard lists the same 48px desktop rows, 24px leading
slots, 80px desktop task ID columns, and 64px right-aligned timestamp
columns. Use an 8px icon-to-content gap matching the task detail
heading. Narrow layouts use matching 76px rows with intrinsic-width IDs
on the title line; activity timestamps stay below.
- Order dashboard Recent Activity as actor avatar, actor name, verb,
task title, 11px monospace task ID, then timestamp. Use direct verbs
such as “Board read …” instead of “issue read marked”. Truncate titles
to preserve IDs and timestamps; keep full names and titles in tooltips.
- Use 12px task status icons in the top breadcrumb and Properties status
row. Keep the main task title icon at 20px.
- Reduce monospace task IDs to the 11px micro type token in breadcrumbs
and shared run cards, aligning them to the adjacent task titles' text
baseline while keeping status icons centered.
- Show the task title and identifier in one bordered row. Keep
missing-task links usable and show lookup failures.
- Remove the recovery chip and place the timestamp below the task row.
- Keep the link to all runs available when the dashboard has four or
fewer runs.
- Avoid transcript polling for compact cards.
- Fix bundled Inter font URLs and update the design guide and Storybook
fixtures.
- Cover run navigation, task status, failed lookups, shared icon sizes
and stroke, and reduced-motion-safe animation in tests.

## Verification

- Latest review fixes: targeted SidebarRecentTasks, SidebarNavItem,
StatusGlyph, StatusIcon, ActiveAgentsPanel, activity-format,
ui-font-assets, and Dashboard suites — 65 tests pass, including
read/unread verbs and reduced-motion-safe task animation.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passes.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all gates pass.
- `git diff --check` — passes.
- Related component suites passed during development: run cards, status
glyphs, breadcrumbs, issue properties, charts, sidebar navigation,
recent-task actions, and settings sidebar.
- Full repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass on the final
commit using the temporary Rust toolchain. Storybook build passed
earlier in preparation.
- All CI gates pass on `c85e949b12b471d425d216caa609aee41dc58bde`: all
general/workspace and serialized server test shards, all three browser
shards, build/runner verification, typecheck/release registry, canary
dry run, policy, and security checks. The duplicate local `pnpm
test:run` was stopped after CI completed the same test suites; it is not
claimed as a completed local pass. The two Storybook jobs are skipped by
the configured draft-PR workflow.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5 with no actionable findings
and zero unresolved review threads.
- Browser measurements at 1654px, 860px, and 390px confirm matching 48px
desktop and 76px narrow rows (plus 1px dividers), right-aligned IDs on
the title line, 64px timestamp slots, and no horizontal overflow. Narrow
Recent Tasks rows retain readable agent names below the title. Activity
reads as actor, verb, title, ID, time. Additional reference details can
expand an activity row.
- Verified three equal-width desktop charts with 16px gaps and aligned
outer edges. Chart blues, greens, and reds resolve to the matching
task-icon tokens.
- Verified real queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled, and
timed-out runs in the dev dashboard. Checked compact cards, task/run
links, timestamps, light/dark themes, and narrow layout.
- To inspect: open Dashboard, then Live runs. Both pages use the same
small cards. Open an agent header for run output, or the task row for
task details.
- Verified the updated spinner on the real dashboard cards, Recent
tasks, and task list. Checked actual SVG circle radius, rendered size,
and stroke width. Confirmed the spinner, nav dots, and Live labels
resolve to the identical blue-400 color in the dark-mode preview; light
mode uses their shared blue-600 token.
- Verified 12px computed width and height in the task breadcrumb and
Properties pane, the restored 20px main task icon, and 11px task IDs
with baseline alignment in the breadcrumb and shared dashboard/Live runs
cards.
- Verified the chart bar and legend resolve to the spinner color; Recent
Tasks counts align with Dashboard's count. Checked the fading ellipsis
overlay with keyboard focus and its open-menu state, then dismissed the
menu.

## Risks

- Operators must open run details to read output that was previously
embedded.
- Run outcomes are available in the header tooltip and run details
instead of a visible status chip. An in-progress task icon reflects task
status, independently of an individual run's outcome.
- Long names and task titles truncate within the compact layout. Full
labels remain available through links and tooltips.
- Font loading changes affect all UI text that uses the bundled Inter
font. The files remain served from the existing public fonts directory.
- No schema, API, adapter, or execution-policy changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with extended reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and browser verification. The session
does not expose the context-window size.

b13eb5b2b5 Skill Studio: three-pane skill IDE with sandboxed test runs (#9241)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Skills Manager gives operators a reusable skill layer, but
iteration still required manual edits, ad hoc prompts, and indirect run
inspection.
> - Skill authors need a focused workflow for editing skill files,
saving representative test inputs, and running those inputs through an
agent without exposing harness tasks as normal company work.
> - The backend therefore needs durable test inputs, reusable run
templates, hidden harness issues, scoped run execution, retention
metadata, and read-containment rules around hidden work.
> - The frontend needs a three-pane Studio that keeps skill files, saved
inputs/templates, and run output/history visible together while
preserving the existing design system and token rules.
> - This pull request ships that Skill Studio surface end to end:
database migrations, shared contracts, server APIs/services, hidden
harness execution behavior, UI routes/components, and focused tests.
> - The benefit is faster and safer skill iteration, with inspectable
outputs and fewer ways for internal harness work to leak into normal
task lists, costs, or adjacent read APIs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this feature. Feature request summary:

- Problem: Skill authors need to edit and test company skills in one
place instead of switching between the skill detail page, task creation,
run output, and manual prompt history.
- Proposed solution: Add a Skill Studio workbench with saved inputs,
reusable templates, hidden sandboxed test runs, live run status, output
inspection, run history, rerun/delete controls, and frontmatter-aware
editing.
- Expected users: Paperclip operators and agent-company maintainers who
create, fork, import, and tune skills.
- Related public PRs: Supersedes #9205, which was replaced so the public
PR branch name follows contributor policy.
- Duplicate search: searched public GitHub issues and PRs for "Skill
Studio"; no other active public issue or PR directly covers this
feature.

## What Changed

- Added database migrations for Skill Studio test inputs, test runs,
test run retention, and reusable run templates.
- Added shared Skill Studio types, validators, route helpers,
frontmatter utilities, and status handling.
- Added server services and routes for saved inputs, test runs,
templates, reruns, terminal-run deletion, hidden harness issue
execution, and run-detail hydration.
- Strengthened hidden-issue read containment across issue-adjacent
routes and cost rollups used by skill test harness work.
- Added the Skill Studio UI with skill file editing, frontmatter
editing, saved inputs, templates, run creation/cancel/rerun/delete
flows, output rendering, history, route support, and responsive pane
behavior.
- Added focused backend, shared, and UI tests for the new APIs, routing
logic, editor/run behavior, hidden-issue containment, and migration
safety.
- Rebased onto current `master`, removed the generated lockfile diff
from the PR, and verified no workflow files are changed.

## Verification

- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- [x] `pnpm check:token-gates`
- [x] `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-skill-test-runs-service.test.ts
ui/src/lib/skill-studio.test.ts ui/src/pages/SkillStudio.test.tsx` — 5
files, 132 tests passed
- [x] Greptile review on the latest PR head
- [x] GitHub PR checks on the latest PR head

## Risks

- Medium risk because this is a broad feature touching database schema,
server orchestration, issue visibility, and a large UI surface.
- Hidden harness issue containment is security-sensitive; this PR
includes regression coverage for adjacent read paths and cost rollups.
- The new migrations are additive and use idempotent guards where
applicable, but deployed databases that previously tested draft
migration numbers should still be checked carefully.
- The UI depends on a new resizable panels package in `ui/package.json`;
the lockfile is intentionally left to repository automation.

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

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent with shell, git, and GitHub CLI tool
use. Earlier feature commits include assistance from other Paperclip
coding agents; this PR preparation, rebase, cleanup commit, and PR body
were completed by OpenAI Codex in a Paperclip worktree.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 c90e66bdd6 feat(ui): design-system component convergence — Card/Badge adoption, multiplicative radius ladder, unified list surfaces (#9240)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its UI is governed by a design system (`DESIGN.md` + the token layer
in `ui/src/index.css`, merged in #9134) whose first principle is "one
way to say each thing" — one Card, one Badge, one nav row
> - After the token extraction landed, ~35 files still hand-rolled card
containers, ~45 files hand-rolled pill spans, the sidebar agents section
duplicated the nav-row chrome, and the inbox and tasks lists rendered
the same task rows two subtly different ways
> - Each divergence is a place where a future design change (radius,
hover language, status vocabulary) silently misses surfaces, defeating
the "edit tokens + run checks" model the design system exists for
> - This pull request converges those surfaces onto the shared
primitives, codifies the radius scale as the modern multiplicative
shadcn ladder, and unifies the row/hover/tree-guide language across the
inbox and tasks lists — every visible delta was human-reviewed
screen-by-screen against a live instance across nine feedback rounds
> - The benefit is that the app's look is now steerable from single
knobs (one `--radius` anchor, one Card, one Badge, one row component),
and the visual regression suite covers the result (514 snapshots
including a new AgentDetail page story)

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work; describing per the feature
template:

- **Problem**: after the design-token foundation (#9134),
component-level drift remained — hand-rolled cards/pills, duplicated
sidebar row chrome, and two different renderings of task rows (inbox vs
tasks list) meant design changes had to be applied per-surface and
frequently missed spots (e.g. status glyphs rendered 16px in the inbox
but 20px in the tasks list because a slot override silently beat the
component default).
- **Proposed behavior**: all card-shaped containers render via `Card`,
all label pills via `Badge`, sidebar rows via `SidebarNavItem`, and both
task-list surfaces via one `IssueRow` configuration; the radius scale is
a single multiplicative ladder anchored at `--radius: 0.5rem`.
- **Alternatives considered**: converting interactive
`<button>`/`<Link>` cards to `Card` divs (rejected — breaks semantics;
documented inline with `design-allow` comments instead); keeping the
legacy additive radius ladder (rejected in favor of the standard shadcn
multiplicative mapping).

## What Changed

- `Card` adoption across ~35 files (settings pages, auth/board flows,
dashboards, list containers, KPI tiles); non-adoptable sites
(interactive cards, `<li>` rows, class-string props, chart tooltip)
carry documented `design-allow(card-pattern)` comments
- `Card` gains an `interactive` prop — one quiet hover affordance for
clickable cards (cursor, border darken, shadow lift, focus ring),
applied to skills tiles, artifact cards, and the company selector; cards
carry no resting shadow
- `Badge` adoption for 113 hand-rolled pill spans across ~45 files;
`PropertyChip` wraps `Badge` internally; `StatusBadge`, external-object
chips, and match chips stay bespoke by documented decision (WCAG-tuned
status mechanics)
- Radius ladder becomes the multiplicative shadcn mapping
(`sm/md/lg/xl/2xl/3xl/4xl = 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.4/1.8/2.2/2.6 × --radius`,
anchor `0.5rem`); every card surface unifies on `rounded-lg`; the
orphaned 8px literal token is deleted
- Sidebar: agent rows render via `SidebarNavItem` (new additive props:
`iconNode`, `active`, `trailing`, `liveAccessory`); live dots use
`--status-agent-running`; one row rhythm and inset rounded pill
highlight; right-aligned trailing badges; every labeled section is
collapsible
- Inbox + tasks lists unified: md status glyphs, `accent/50` rounded row
hovers, vertical tree guides under parent rows (opaque underlay so
dark-mode translucent borders don't stack), no horizontal dividers under
expanded parents; the swipe-to-archive reveal layer shows only
mid-swipe; board toggle uses the `SquareKanban` glyph
- Kanban: every column carries a status-hued tint; lanes default
expanded (including empty); compact mode collapses empty lanes to
labeled rails (fixes a clipped, label-less empty-column state)
- Storybook: new AgentDetail page story (realistic fixtures, light+dark)
joins the visual suite; suite captures with `reducedMotion: 'reduce'`
and the ux-lab reasoning ticker honors `prefers-reduced-motion`; a stale
lexical alias in `storybook/main.ts` is fixed (build was broken since
the lexical 0.46 bump)
- Keyboard navigation, from live review of the unified lists: inbox
navigation keys work on every tab (archive keys stay scoped to the
archivable tab); keyboard-driven scrolling no longer hands the selection
to whatever row lands under the stationary cursor (hover selects only
after real pointer movement); the tasks list view gains the same j/k /
arrows / Enter selection model as the inbox; and the `g` then `i`
go-to-inbox chord works app-wide instead of only on the issue detail
page
- Token gates restored to 3/3 CLEAN (tokenized a post-#9134 regression
in the recovery card); decisions recorded in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md` and `doc/design/COMPONENT-INVENTORY.md`
(investigation verdicts: FileTree vs WorkspaceFileBrowser and the four
entity pickers stay separate — evidence included)

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` → 3/3 CLEAN
- `pnpm typecheck` → green (all packages)
- `cd ui && npx vitest run` → 2106/2106 (assertions updated in lockstep
where they documented superseded decisions; new tests for the global
go-to-inbox chord)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` → exit 0
- `pnpm build-storybook` → succeeds (also fixes the lexical-alias break
on master)
- Visual regression: 514-snapshot Playwright suite green against the
updated baseline (zero diffs from the keyboard-navigation round — those
changes are purely behavioral). Note: baselines live outside git per the
suite design and the baseline-manifest archive is not yet published, so
CI cannot run this suite — it was run locally throughout; every visible
delta was reviewed screen-by-screen in a live instance across nine
review rounds. Review evidence (before/after triplets) intentionally
kept out of the repo for size; available on request.
- Manual: exercised dashboard, tasks (list + board), inbox, agents,
skills, costs, settings, and artifact surfaces in light and dark themes

## Risks

- Wide but shallow visual surface: most changes are class-string
substitutions with behavior preserved (props, handlers, roles, test
ids). The riskiest areas — dnd-kit card refs (React 19 ref-as-prop),
inbox swipe-to-archive, and sidebar overlays — are covered by existing
unit tests (all green) and were manually exercised.
- Intentional visual deltas (rounded cards, tinted kanban columns, md
status glyphs, unified hovers) are design decisions recorded in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`; each maps to a re-baselined snapshot set
locally.
- The visual suite cannot yet run in CI (unpublished baseline archive —
pre-existing condition from #9134); until that lands, snapshot coverage
is local-only.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`, Anthropic) via Claude Code — agentic
coding with tool use (file editing, test execution, Playwright
screenshot verification); extended thinking enabled.

DottaandPaperclip 555391fed7 fix: run restart recovery, workspace self-heal, quota-aware retries, failed-run metrics (#9183)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents run in heartbeat runs orchestrated by the server; run
lifecycle, retry scheduling, and the dashboard's run-activity metrics
are the subsystems involved
> - A spike in "failed" tasks traced to three causes: server restarts
killing in-flight runs and mislabeling them as failures, deterministic
workspace-validation loops when a worktree's branch diverged, and
provider quota/usage-limit errors being classified as generic transient
failures (putting agents into error state and polluting metrics)
> - Killed-then-recovered runs and quota waits are not product failures,
so both the runtime behavior and the reporting needed to distinguish
them
> - This pull request drains runs gracefully on shutdown with idempotent
restart retries, self-heals workspace branch mismatches, adds a
quota-aware failure class with reset-time retry, separates recovered
restart kills from true failures on the dashboard, and documents restart
hygiene for operators
> - The benefit is fewer spurious failures, automatic recovery instead
of manual repair, and dashboard metrics that reflect real failure rates

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists; describing the bug inline per the
bug-report template:

**What happened?**

In-flight heartbeat runs are marked `failed` when the server restarts,
even though a retry later succeeds. Worktrees whose checked-out branch
diverges from the issue branch fail workspace validation on every
subsequent run with no recovery path. Provider quota/usage-limit
responses are treated as generic transient upstream errors, putting
agents into an error state and retrying before the quota window resets.
The dashboard counts all of these as true failures, inflating failure
metrics.

**Expected behavior**

Graceful shutdown should interrupt (not fail) running runs and chain
exactly one recovery retry. Workspace validation should repair
recoverable branch mismatches automatically. Quota errors should get
their own error class with the retry scheduled at the provider reset
time and the agent left idle. The dashboard should report recovered
restart kills separately from true failures.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a heartbeat run, then restart the server (SIGTERM) while it is
in flight — the run lands as `failed` with a process-loss error code
even when its retry succeeds
2. Check out an issue whose worktree branch has diverged (e.g. after a
force-moved branch) — every subsequent run fails
`workspace_validation_failed` deterministically
3. Drive an agent into a provider usage-limit window — the run fails as
a generic transient upstream error and the agent enters an error state
instead of idling until the reset time

**Paperclip version or commit**

master (base c07e650cd)

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted dev plane (Linux, node server + embedded Postgres)

## What Changed

- Graceful shutdown (SIGTERM hook) now marks in-flight runs
`interrupted` instead of `failed` and enqueues an idempotent
process-loss retry (pre-insert existence check on `retryOfRunId`
prevents duplicates; bursts chain exactly one retry per interrupted run)
- Run-liveness classification routes `interrupted` to `needs_followup`
rather than `failed`
- Workspace validation self-heals branch mismatch / missing-branch
states instead of failing deterministically on every run
- New `provider_quota` error class: session/usage-limit responses
schedule the retry at the provider reset time and leave the agent idle
(not errored); fixes a case where a quota-terminated run with subtype
`success` was misclassified as failed; HTTP 529 remains transient
- Dashboard run-activity query separates recovered restart kills from
true failures via a recursive CTE over `retry_of_run_id` (ancestors of a
succeeded retry count as recovered), adds a per-day failed-by-error-code
breakdown, and binds the window start as a timestamptz string
- Activity charts UI: amber "Recovered" segment with legend and per-day
error-code tooltip; success-rate chart counts recovered runs as
successes
- New ops runbook: `docs/deploy/dev-plane-restart-hygiene.md`

tests); `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`; `git diff
--check`
- Post-rebase CI fixes: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts`; `pnpm exec
vitest run server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-retry-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-session.test.ts` (227 tests);
`pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `npm test` server suites covering the changes:
`heartbeat-process-recovery`, `heartbeat-stop-metadata`,
`heartbeat-retry-scheduling` (95 tests), quota parse +
execute/retry-scheduling suites (100 tests), workspace self-heal suites
(200 tests), dashboard run-activity tests (3 tests) — all green,
typecheck exit 0
- Dashboard CTE cross-checked against a real development database: two
restart-burst days moved from 17 to 8 and 19 to 6 true failures once
recovered kills were separated, matching manual retry-chain inspection
- Screenshot verification of the real ActivityCharts component
(recovered segment + tooltip) during QA

## Risks

- Behavioral shift: runs killed by a restart no longer surface as
`failed`; anyone consuming raw run statuses will see `interrupted` (new
status value) — dashboards/queries in this repo were updated accordingly
- Retry chaining on repeated restarts is bounded (one chained retry per
interruption) but a pathological restart loop still delays work rather
than failing it; the runbook covers operator hygiene for that case
- Dashboard query adds a recursive CTE; cost is bounded by the
day-window row count and was verified against production-sized data
- No schema migrations; low migration risk

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic) — claude-fable-5 via Claude Code / Paperclip agent
harness, extended thinking with tool use; implementation commits also
produced with Codex CLI (GPT-5 class) agents under the same harness

c07e650cd7 feat(ui): single-source design tokens, visual regression suite, and theme retune (#9134)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its UI is the operator's daily surface: task lists, boards, budgets,
agent status — all built on shadcn components and Tailwind
> - Visual values (colors, spacing, type sizes, radii) were hardcoded at
~1,600 call sites: the same "small gray label" was 9/10/11px depending
on the file, charts disagreed with chips about status colors, two
toggle-switch implementations coexisted in two greens, and there was no
visual regression coverage
> - This made the UI drift-prone and made any restyle a
hundreds-of-files project, which discourages design iteration
> - This pull request extracts visual values into a single token layer
in `ui/src/index.css`, adds a Storybook visual regression suite backed
by external immutable baseline archives, and then applies a deliberate
retune reviewed change-by-change on screenshot diffs
> - The benefit is that Paperclip's look becomes a config surface:
retheming is a token edit reviewed as a snapshot diff, drift is blocked
by a token gate, and future UI PRs can prove exactly what changed
visually without committing hundreds of PNGs

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No existing public issue covers this work (searched "design tokens",
"visual regression", "design system" across issues and PRs). Related in
spirit: Refs #8982 (theming a hardcoded panel — a one-off instance of
the same problem class this PR addresses systematically).

**Problem (feature-request form):** UI visual values are hardcoded per
call site with no source of truth and no regression coverage;
consistency depends on reviewer memory, and restyling requires mass file
edits.
**Proposed solution (this PR):** a single token layer + enforcement gate
+ externally stored visual snapshot suite, then an intentional restyle
on top of that foundation.

## What Changed

- **Token extraction (zero visual change, machine-verified during
development):** committed codemods (`scripts/codemod-*.mjs`) moved
~1,600 hardcoded color/type/spacing/radius/shadow/misc values into named
tokens in a non-inline `:root` block of `ui/src/index.css`.
- **Visual regression suite:** `pnpm test:storybook-visual` covers 255
stories × light/dark = 510 Playwright screenshots at `maxDiffPixels: 0`,
plus new primitive-coverage stories and deterministic-render fixes.
- **External visual baselines:** committed PNG snapshots were removed.
`tests/storybook-visual/baseline-manifest.json` pins an immutable
archive URL/hash/size/count, and `scripts/storybook-visual-baseline.mjs`
handles `download`, `verify`, `pack`, and trusted maintainer `upload`
flows.
- **Opt-in visual CI artifacts:** added a `Storybook Visual` workflow
that runs on manual dispatch or PRs labeled `storybook-visual`,
downloads/verifies the baseline, runs Playwright, and uploads Playwright
report/test-result artifacts for review. Normal PR runs do not mutate
baseline objects.
- **Token gate:** `pnpm check:token-gates` — zero hex literals, zero
arbitrary bracket values, zero raw font-sizes in `ui/src/components/**`
and `ui/src/pages/**`, with a documented inline allowlist for legitimate
opt-outs.
- **Theme retune (intentional, snapshot-reviewed):** new base theme
values; radius ladder derived from a single `--radius` knob; micro-type
cluster collapsed to a named ladder (`--text-nano/micro/compact` +
Tailwind `text-xs`/`text-sm`); letter-spacing collapsed to named steps.
- **One status-color vocabulary:** charts, quota/budget bar fills,
RUNNING/live chips, and liveness indicators all use the canonical
`--status-*` hues. Light-mode legibility fixes for red alert surfaces
that used dark-tuned text classes.
- **One switch:** `ToggleSwitch` restyled to the registry capsule form,
second hand-rolled implementation removed, and all call sites unified.
- **Docs:** `DESIGN.md` is the design contract; `doc/design/` holds
audit reports, decision logs, and updated guidance for external baseline
review/update workflows.
- Dead code removed (`agentStatusBadge` duplicate map), byte-identical
contrast constants consolidated, semantic renames
(`--project-seed`/`--project-none`, `--liveness-blue`).

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 gates CLEAN during the design-system
run
- `pnpm typecheck` && `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` — green
during the design-system run
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/storybook-visual-baseline.test.mjs` —
pass after external-baseline rework
- `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit --pretty false --module NodeNext
--moduleResolution NodeNext --target ES2022 --types
node,@playwright/test tests/storybook-visual/playwright.config.ts
tests/storybook-visual/storybook-visual.spec.ts` — pass after
external-baseline rework
- `git diff --check origin/pr/9134..HEAD` — pass after external-baseline
rework
- `find tests/storybook-visual -type f -name '*.png' -print | wc -l` —
`0`
- `node scripts/storybook-visual-baseline.mjs verify` — intentionally
fails closed until the first trusted maintainer publishes the baseline
archive and updates `baseline-manifest.json`

## Risks

- **Large but shallow:** the PR still touches many UI files due to
mechanical token extraction and retune work, but committed PNG snapshot
churn has been removed from the branch.
- **Baseline publication required before the visual suite can pass in
clean clones:** the manifest currently has placeholder archive metadata.
A trusted maintainer must publish the first immutable archive, then
update `baseline-manifest.json`.
- **Rendering platform variance:** the external baseline should be
captured in the documented Linux/Chromium environment. Future CI runs
verify against the pinned archive and fail closed on checksum/count
mismatch.
- **Visual CI is opt-in while stabilizing:** add the `storybook-visual`
label or dispatch the workflow manually to produce downloadable
Playwright report/test-result artifacts.
- **Scheduled follow-ups, deliberately out of scope:** Tailwind palette
classes map to semantic tokens in a dedicated pass; card/pill component
consolidation; ESLint ratchet. Tracked in
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`.

## Model Used

Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic, `claude-fable-5`, Mythos-class tier) with
extended thinking, running in Claude Code with tool use; mechanical
phases delegated to Claude Sonnet subagents. Follow-up external-baseline
rework assisted by OpenAI Codex (`gpt-5` coding agent with repository,
terminal, and GitHub tool use). All bulk rewrites executed via
deterministic, idempotent scripts committed in `scripts/`; intentional
visual changes were human-reviewed on screenshot contact sheets.

2e74d32871 PAP-10430: split Issue-to-Task copy migration (#7651)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI is the operator surface where users create, assign,
monitor, and review work items.
> - The product language is moving toward "tasks" for user-facing work
items while the internal API and database still use "issues".
> - PR #7543 bundled this copy migration with broader
information-architecture work, which made the branch too large for
Greptile review.
> - This pull request peels the Issue-to-Task copy migration into a
smaller, independently reviewable change.
> - The benefit is clearer user-facing terminology, less agent confusion
via the Paperclip skill note, and a smaller PR that Greptile can review.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #7645
Refs #7543
Refs PAP-10430

This PR was split out of #7543 so the Issue-to-Task copy migration can
be reviewed separately and the remaining IA PR can fall under Greptile's
file limit.

## What Changed

- Preserves Scott Tong's original `PAP-57` copy-only commit, with author
and co-author credit intact, to rename user-facing "Issues" copy to
"Tasks" across the UI while keeping routes/API/internal symbols as
`issue`.
- Updates onboarding and release-smoke browser selectors from `Create &
Open Issue` to `Create & Open Task`.
- Adds a terminology note to `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md` clarifying that
task and issue refer to the same Paperclip work item.
- Resolves the only cherry-pick conflict by keeping current search
artifacts support and changing visible search copy to "tasks".

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build` passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx` passed: 4 files, 66 tests.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` passed.
- Diff is 80 files, below Greptile's 100-file limit.
- Before/after UI copy examples: "Issues" -> "Tasks", "New Issue" ->
"New Task", "Create & Open Issue" -> "Create & Open Task".

## Risks

- Medium copy-risk: this intentionally changes user-facing terminology
broadly while keeping internal issue identifiers and routes unchanged.
- Some docs and APIs still say `issue`; the skill note clarifies this so
agents do not treat task and issue as separate entities.
- Browser-level visual validation is expected from CI because this local
container is missing usable browser dependencies.

## Model Used

Scott Tong authored the original `PAP-57` copy migration, assisted by

Codex / GPT-5-class coding agent with shell, GitHub CLI, and repository
access performed the PR split, conflict resolution, skill note, and
verification.

DottaandPaperclip 4357a3f352 [codex] Harden dashboard run activity charts (#4126)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip gives operators a live view of agent work across
dashboards, transcripts, and run activity charts
> - Those views consume live run updates and aggregate run activity from
backend dashboard data
> - Missing or partial run data could make charts brittle, and live
transcript updates were heavier than needed
> - Operators need dashboard data to stay stable even when recent run
payloads are incomplete
> - This pull request hardens dashboard run aggregation, guards chart
rendering, and lightens live run update handling
> - The benefit is a more reliable dashboard during active agent
execution

## What Changed

- Added dashboard run activity types and backend aggregation coverage.
- Guarded activity chart rendering when run data is missing or partial.
- Reduced live transcript update churn in active agent and run chat
surfaces.
- Fixed issue chat avatar alignment in the thread renderer.
- Added focused dashboard, activity chart, and live transcript tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/dashboard-service.test.ts
ui/src/components/ActivityCharts.test.tsx
ui/src/components/transcript/useLiveRunTranscripts.test.tsx`
- Result: 8 tests passed, 1 skipped. The embedded Postgres dashboard
service test skipped on this host with the existing PGlite/Postgres init
warning; UI chart and transcript tests passed.

## Risks

- Medium-low risk: aggregation semantics changed, but the UI remains
guarded around incomplete data.
- The dashboard service test is host-skipped here, so CI should confirm
the embedded database path.

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

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, tool-enabled local shell and
GitHub workflow, exact runtime context window not exposed in this
session.
