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.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 35ab90ad0f Map runtime activity to authorized task plugin panels (#18131)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and tasks.
> - Plugins contribute views to the task sidebar.
> - A ready view can belong to an earlier task.
> - Runner records activity under its authenticated run.
> - This PR maps that activity to installed task-panel declarations.
> - The sidebar checks readiness after current-run use and restores use
after reconnect.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged contract #18129 and Runner publisher #18050. This PR
targets
master and is ready for review. Earlier combined verification is
retained in
[the verification
archive](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18050#issuecomment-6489369676).

**Subsystem affected**

Run-event reads, plugin task contributions and the task sidebar.

**Problem or motivation**

Readiness polling can show a view left ready by another task. Reload and
reconnect must recover current-run use without losing concurrent live
activity.

**Proposed solution**

Map recorded activity to installed task-panel declarations. Merge
authorized
history and live activity, then perform bounded readiness checks for the
running agent. Preserve the existing read-only view.

## What Changed

- Add optional `{ namespace, activityKey }` activation mappings to
task-panel
declarations. Legacy declarations remain valid but contribute no task
panel.
- Add `view=plugin-panels` to the existing run-events route. Preserve
run-read and
telemetry-read authorization, secret redaction and private-run denial.
Map
activity to installed contributions and return at most 128 panel
identities.
- Scope activation caches to current panel versions and activity
declarations.
Preserve unchanged panels during unrelated plugin updates and history
reads.
- Merge history and live hints without losing concurrent activations.
Filter by
  company, task, run and agent. Restore history on mount and reconnect.
- Replace periodic availability checks with up to three readiness
attempts after
activity. Fresh activity restarts settled transient failures. Pending
checks,
  successful readiness and HTTP 4xx failures are left alone.
- Reuse live run updates with the panel cache key. Recover only panel
history
after a pending subscription read. Mark expected not-ready query results
so
  the global error reporter skips them; real failures remain reportable.
- Preserve current-run dismissal and the read-only plugin view. Update
manifest
  comments and producer/consumer documentation.

## Verification

- Current head: `5e04d757c`, based on master `09c05c550`. Range
comparison
confirmed all six feature commits were unchanged by the rebase. The
final
follow-up keys readiness by the plugin installation ID and availability
path.
- `cd ui && node ../node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run
src/hooks/useTaskPluginPanels.test.tsx`
— all 45 cases passed. `cd ui && node ../node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc
-b` passed.
- The shared query-client and live-update recovery selection passed 96
cases on
  `49c544cd2`. Token gates passed before the final hook-only changes.
- Earlier focused verification passed 57 manifest cases, 69
database/history cases,
event-registry cases and route authorization cases, including
private-run denial.
- Regression coverage includes subscription/history races, task changes
during
recovery, unfocused run completion, bounded readiness retries, denied
reads,
expected not-ready responses, changed activity mappings, unchanged panel
preservation, old cache scopes, and same-version route or installation
changes.
- [Current-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40942001707)
passed: 54 successful checks, two skips, no failures or pending checks.
- [Standard and final
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/18131#issuecomment-6489842168)
both scored 5/5 on `5e04d757c`. The final review used the Apex tier,
added no
comments, and left no unresolved findings. The PR is conflict-free and
ready for review.
- Local checks stay targeted. GitHub CI provides the broad build, test,
typecheck,
browser and Runner coverage. No deployment or live-provider acceptance
is claimed.

<details>
<summary>Retained failures and recovery evidence</summary>

- `ac9329548` twice failed a browser reload assertion while conversation
history
was concealed. Master fixed its readiness wait in #17923. The approve
journey
then passed locally on `fea63a418` with installed Chrome (1 passed, 39
seconds).
All eight browser shards passed in later CI. The browser test is outside
this diff.
- A canary checkout failed with Git HTTP 408; its unchanged-head retry
passed.
- `de07d09fa` failed the mobile Cases card click after a ten-second
stability wait.
The same read-only journey passed locally on that exact head (1 passed,
26 seconds).
Its unchanged-head CI retry passed 22 cases, with one skip. The original
artifact
  is retained; the cause of that click timeout is not established.
- [CI on
`49c544cd2`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40903679075)
passed 54 checks with two skips. CI also passed on `de07d09fa` after the
recorded retry.
- The `1e59ab441` merge checkout passed all browser and server suites.
Runner
shard 2 passed 2,252 cases and timed out waiting for a
controller-recovery command.
The test had landed on master in #18161 after the former branch base.
Rebasing
aligned the local checkout with that code; Runner shard 2 then passed on
`fcf7380d3`.
The original timeout cause remains unproven; no unrelated timeout was
changed.
- [CI on
`fcf7380d3`](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40940235193)
recorded runner shutdown signals in typecheck and a workspace shard. A
chat
recovery test observed a null wake deadline, and one Runner transport
fixture
failed during close. Those separate assertion failures remain
unexplained.
All of those jobs passed on the final readiness-key head. Those later
passes
establish recovery; they do not prove the cause of the earlier assertion
failures.
- Local browser setup first stopped at pnpm version-download
verification, then a
sandbox IPC restriction, then a missing bundled browser. Installed pnpm
9.15.4
  and Chrome completed the journeys. No dependency files were changed.
- Earlier optional-property TypeScript errors were corrected. Embedded
PostgreSQL
needed its install hook run from its package directory. Older CI also
recorded
fixture-cleanup lock timeouts, attention-fixture timeouts, and canceled
server
shards after runner shutdown. The parent fixed its FIFO snapshot-copy
failure
before merge. The linked verification archive retains earlier combined
evidence.

</details>

## Risks

Activity is a hint and grants no access. Missing plugins, denied reads
and
unavailable views contribute no panel. Older runs without activity
records show
no task plugin tab. A used view stays available for the running task;
reconnect
reconciles readiness. Matching producer and consumer builds are
required. No
migration, dependency, image publication or deployment is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools and code
execution.
The exact serving snapshot is not exposed.

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.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with reasoning, repository tools and code
execution. The exact backend snapshot ID and context window size are not
exposed by this session.
