DottaandPaperclip dd777f4b73 feat(dot): complete onboarding and expand governed Runner capabilities (#15414)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents, their work, and their permissions.
> - Paperclip Runner supplies the same admitted tool authority to each
provider.
> - The Dot provider in #15402 needs reliable onboarding and useful
agent capabilities.
> - An idle Dot could not start work, assign a human, read skills, or
produce a workspace artifact.
> - Pairing also relied on a second configuration save before ordinary
admission could work.
> - This pull request adds governed idle admission and shared Runner
tools, and completes pairing atomically.
> - Operators can test Dot with fresh data while keeping normal company,
approval, budget, and run ownership checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Paperclip Runner, dedicated Dot MCP access, OAuth onboarding,
experimental settings, and empty worktree startup. This PR builds on
merged provider PR #15402. It reuses the merged MCP gateway from #14846
and assistant connection work from #14933 and #15380.

**Problem or motivation**

An idle Dot could see assignments but could not act on a conversation
request until someone created a task first. Its Runner catalog could not
assign tasks to humans or read pinned skills and workspace files.
First-time OAuth discovery and pairing also needed browser fixes, and a
completed pairing did not persist its binding reference on the agent.

**Proposed solution**

Keep Dot within the existing Runner. Admit a visible agent-authored
intake task for idle requests. Add people, human assignment, cross-task,
skill, and optional sandbox workspace tools through shared authority.
Relay assigned app calls through the configured MCP gateway. Add lease
renewal and follow-up references. Save pairing and its configuration
revision atomically. Show prerequisites and provide a complete copy
prompt.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the experimental provider in #15402. It uses the existing
governed gateway, task model, skills, artifact path, and native Runner.
It adds no separate execution subsystem.

## What Changed

- Add a standalone OpenAI Dot agent choice with an independent
experimental opt-in. It works with the general Runner option off.
Require Assistant connections (MCP), authenticated sign-in, and public
HTTPS for pairing.
- Use Dot’s own option for company package import. Allow an unpaired Dot
configuration to save after external billing acknowledgement; task
admission still requires pairing. Prepare the shared dev binary for
Dot-only opt-in.
- Label saved Dot agents as OpenAI Dot. Use prerequisite-check copy in
setup and runtime configuration.
- Route Dot creation directly to pairing after explicit external billing
acknowledgement. Hide local CLI, model, and harness setup for Dot.
Preserve the shared Runner implementation and canonical API type. Other
Runner providers still require their general opt-in.
- Add an empty worktree option with fresh signing keys and no production
data copy.
- Fix public-client OAuth negotiation, discovery compatibility, and
optional separate browser authorization origin.
- Add one-use pairing consent preview, clear copied setup instructions,
and atomic binding persistence and cleanup.
- Add idle request admission with stable request IDs and normal
scheduling, permissions, budgets, and task ownership.
- Add identity and people discovery, human task assignment and
reassignment, and authorized cross-task comments and documents.
- Read assigned skill files from pinned manifests. Relay assigned app
calls through the merged gateway without exposing credentials.
- Add an off-by-default workspace bridge. Constrain paths and writes.
Run commands in a deny-by-default OS sandbox with no network or injected
credentials. Reserve mutations before effects and never blindly repeat
uncertain work.
- Add rolling lease renewal, task pagination, bounded operation limits,
and deduplicated follow-up references without comment bodies in
webhooks.
- Add an off-by-default attachment reading setting. Restrict reads to
files on the current assigned task. Verify size and hash, cache bounded
verified copies per run, paginate text or binary bytes, and recheck live
authority before returning.
- Keep file grants operator-owned. Reject agent self-grants across
configuration routes. Preserve attachment consent in create/import
forms. Close generic API file bypasses while retaining current-run
response snapshots and permitted uploads.
- Keep provider limits explicit. Do not inherit a Dot binding,
attachment permission, or workspace permission when hiring another
agent.
- Include the required Markdown format in cross-task document writes and
validate the API title limit. Verify real creation and revision
persistence.
- Restrict command execution to Linux bubblewrap with descendant
containment. macOS retains workspace file tools and artifact publishing,
while refusing command calls. Explain the platform limit in setup.
- Exclude Paperclip instance state from workspace files, uploads,
artifact publication, and sandbox commands. Protect nested directories
and case variants. Fail closed when the directory protection scan
exceeds 4,096 directories.
- Add static UI compression for slow public tunnels. Document setup, the
complete tool inventory, and qualification limits.

## Verification

- Merge preparation on `00ca2c75b` integrates merged base #15402 and
master `fc6304dfe`. The ancestry commit preserves the reviewed follow-up
source tree. The subsequent security fix excludes instance state from
file tools, uploads, artifact publication, and sandbox commands. It
preserves private task authorization and task monitors. It regenerates
the combined tool catalog, seeded catalog digest, and protocol manifest.
Workspace typecheck, full build, and UI token gates pass. All sixteen
real Dot broker cases and 93 company import cases pass after the review
fixes and creator-attribution test correction. The exported
human-assignment catalog and Unicode page boundaries are also fixed. All
ten catalog tests and nine workspace/skill bridge tests pass. All 35
workspace bridge and authority tests passed after the instance-state
fix, including real macOS commands in that intermediate version. The
subsequent document and descendant-containment fixes pass 44 focused
tests across bridge, authority, and setup UI, with six Linux command
cases skipped on macOS. Real cross-task documents pass the route
validator and persist two revisions. macOS refuses command execution and
does not advertise the tool. Full workspace typecheck and build, changed
server/UI typechecks, and token gates pass again on the final commit.
Greptile rates final head 00ca2c75b 5/5 and its completed check
concludes success; all review threads are resolved. All 58 current-head
checks are complete: 54 passed and 4 intentionally skipped. This
includes full tests, typecheck, build, Runner, browser E2E, release
verification, and Canary Dry Run. The older full local root attempt
finished with 16,602 passes, 93 skips, and ten failures across two
suites: it began before source edits and retained earlier imported
implementations while loading later tests. Both suites pass a clean
final-head rerun (25 passed, six Linux-only command cases skipped on
macOS). This mixed-source full attempt is not a final-head full-suite
pass; use the fresh CI evidence below.
- Full workspace typecheck and build pass for the standalone Dot change
on head `392d54f80`. UI token gates are clean. The full workspace
typecheck passed before the final importer UI edit; the changed UI
typecheck, build, and token gates pass again on the final commit. The
server build passes for its unchanged final source.
- Standalone selection, creation, settings, harness visibility,
inventory, and runtime admission checks pass. OAuth onboarding and the
real Rust/PostgreSQL broker suite pass 27 cases with the general Runner
option disabled. Dot and MCP revocation still block pairing; other
Runner providers remain disabled. Create, hire, conversion, and
inherited-hire route regressions pass 68 cases. The runtime selection
suite passes 20 cases. The setup UI suite passes 50 cases. Company
import and dev binary checks pass 97 cases. Import UI checks pass 29
cases, including Dot-only selection, preservation of imported Dot
agents, generic Runner fallback, canonical configuration serialization,
and required billing acknowledgement. A read of the synthetic instance
reports the native binary required with Dot enabled, the general rollout
disabled, and no persisted native work.
- The latest attachment, operator-consent, generic API file-guard, and
bridge checks pass 80 tests. Cache and native lifecycle checks pass 550
tests; create/import builders pass 45 tests; attachment setup UI checks
pass 16 tests. The real Rust/PostgreSQL Dot broker suite passes 15
cases.
- Earlier authority, human assignment, pinned skill, confinement,
cancellation, inheritance, onboarding, replay, OpenAPI, and gateway
regressions pass their focused rechecks. Workspace writes reject
concurrent stale hashes.
- In the live empty test-drive, turn the general Runner option off and
leave Dot and MCP on. Add agent shows a separate OpenAI Dot choice.
Create rejects missing billing acknowledgement, saves the canonical Dot
configuration, and opens pairing. The existing paired Dot remains ready
and passes its prerequisite checks. No new plugin pairing was needed for
this UI change. The final browser import preview keeps a Dot source
agent as OpenAI Dot, falls back a generic Runner agent while its switch
is off, and offers Dot independently.
- Real Dot completed OAuth, signed MCP Events readiness, and an
event-only assigned document task in an empty synthetic instance.
Pairing saved its binding without a second configuration save.
- Real Dot verified human assignment, cross-task comments and documents,
pinned skill reading, sandbox commands, lease renewal, follow-up input,
and a downloaded artifact whose bytes and hash matched its receipt. An
idle conversation request created an intake, created a task for its
human owner, continued after a definite missing-file read error, and
finalized Done with exit code 0.
- After operator approval, real Dot read a synthetic assigned-task
attachment and wrote its file-only random proof into an agent-authored
document. Its first test required accepting review because the existing
document tool removed the final newline.
- On head `2626c8f9b`, real Dot read a 13,849-byte synthetic attachment
in two pages, used `expectedSha256` on page two, saved exactly its final
random marker, verified readback, and finalized Done with exit code 0. A
direct inbox check was required for this attachment qualification; it
does not claim event-only delivery.
- Previous head `392d54f80` passes all 55 checks (53 passed, two
intentionally skipped), including the full test, typecheck, build,
native Runner, browser, and release verification gates. Greptile rates
this head 5/5; all review threads are resolved.
- Head `2626c8f9b` passed all 56 checks: 54 passed and two intentionally
skipped. This includes full typecheck, build, native Runner, server
tests, serialized suites, browser E2E, and Canary Dry Run. The unchanged
Cursor managed-runtime test exceeded its five-second deadline on the
first attempt; its focused local suite passed all eight cases, and the
single CI rerun plus dependent verify gate passed.
- A prior full local serial test attempt reported 19 failures (16,141
passed, 88 skipped) and stopped before later wrapper groups. It began
before the final source edits. Every failed suite has a passing fresh
recheck; the macOS snapshot stress case passes alone in 227 seconds. The
previous head `000fb9261` passed all 56 CI checks. PRs leave
`pnpm-lock.yaml` unchanged; CI and the refresh bot own dependency
resolution.

## Risks

- Dot remains off by default. Its own opt-in does not enable other
Runner providers. It still requires the MCP option; disabling Dot blocks
new work while keeping existing recovery and saved bindings.
- Dot requires a stable public HTTPS origin. Its base provider in #15402
is merged. Temporary tunnels are useful for testing but are not
permanent deployments.
- Idle intake creates a visible agent-authored task. It does not
fabricate a human message or bypass ordinary admission.
- Workspace commands require Linux bubblewrap with a private PID
namespace; deployment qualification is still needed. macOS file tools
and artifact publishing remain available, but commands are disabled
because sandbox-exec does not contain detached descendants. There is no
unrestricted fallback. Command protection fails closed above 4,096
workspace directories. The historical macOS command walkthrough does not
qualify the current Linux implementation.
- Provider model choice, token usage, cost, native thread control, and
global external stopping remain unavailable. Known Paperclip budget
gates still apply.
- The workspace bridge and attachment reader are separate opt-in
settings. Reading assigned task files sends their contents to OpenAI.
Revocation prevents future reads but cannot withdraw bytes already sent.
Files are read on request; automatic inbound attachment staging remains
disabled.
- An existing event registration can retain earlier instructions that
prohibit extra tasks. Dot asked for permission before a second intake
after the final event-only bootstrap; that extra no-nudge continuation
is not live-qualified under that earlier registration. The later
attachment qualification submitted normally through the composer. The
revised onboarding prompt describes the new idle entry point, and its
protocol polling path is tested.
- OpenAI event delivery can be delayed; a webhook acknowledgement is not
proof that Dot has begun work.
- A running Dot can retain an old plugin catalog after tool refresh.
Refresh and actual tool exposure must be checked before using new
top-level actions.
- Hosted and remote controller modes are not qualified.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact deployment ID and context window
size are not exposed in this session. Capabilities used: reasoning,

DottaandPaperclip 22a3ea3414 Invite assistants from Connections with scoped browser and device consent (#14933)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Public MCP lets people use their organization from an external
assistant.
> - Operators need a visible control for this experimental access.
> - Hosted users should select an organization once and then approve its
permissions.
> - This pull request adds the setting, invitation-first setup, and
browser or device consent.
> - Connections provides a copyable invitation with public instructions
that grant no access.
> - Users reach browser consent from their assistant and return to
inspect or revoke access.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Builds on merged foundation #14846. This PR now targets master. Related
settings convention: #13905.

**Current behavior**

The preview uses an environment variable to enable MCP. Hosted consent
repeats organization selection. Assistant access has no entry in
Connections, so users must already know the endpoint and how to reach
consent.

**Proposed behavior**

An administrator enables Settings → Experimental → Assistant connections
(MCP). A hosted connection shows the selected organization and its icon,
then asks for permissions. Requested write access starts checked when
the user’s role permits it; the user can opt out before connecting.
Direct instance connections show an organization picker with the first
available organization selected. The selection stays fixed across
refetches and still requires an explicit Connect action. Connections
includes Assistant Connection (MCP). Its setup page explains the
canonical endpoint, client configuration, browser authentication, and
connected access. It connects as the current person and does not select
or impersonate an agent.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators manage access with the other experiments. Users select one
organization, and both the UI and server enforce that choice.

**Breaking changes**

The old enable variable has no effect. Preview operators must enable the
setting once. Apply the additive consent-request migration before
deploying the tenant, then deploy the compatible Cloud broker. Existing
direct requests and grants keep their behavior.

## What Changed

- Simplify OAuth and device consent: show the Paperclip logo beside
“Connect {client} to Paperclip”, fall back to “your assistant”, and show
the identifying origin plus its favicon below, with the callback URL
also visible when different. Remove the hosted-organization creation
action. Default to the first available organization without silently
changing it on refetch; preserve company restrictions and write
opt-outs. Keep the button row contained on narrow screens.
- Make Copy invitation the primary action, using the shared animated
AgentSetupPrompt and a collapsed manual setup section with icon-labeled
line tabs. Remove redundant link actions, copy-status text, the extra
first-prompt well and revocation explanation from the setup page. Serve
shared version-aware HTML and Markdown instructions without private
organization data.
- Support guarded Client ID Metadata Documents alongside dynamic
registration, and include authorization response issuer identification.
- Add RFC 8628 device authorization with separately hashed codes,
expiry, shared request quotas, persistent polling backoff and atomic
redemption. Reuse human consent, role checks, scoped grants, audit and
revocation.
- Add CLI device login and a local stdio bridge. Store credentials
separately with private permissions and serialize rotating refreshes.
- Add device consent stories and five cold-start paid Product E2E cases
with independent grant, configuration and durable-work assertions.

- Add `enablePublicMcp` to the settings validator, normalizer, feature
catalog, and toggle UI. Check it live for OAuth, tools, subscriptions,
and event delivery. Keep connection management and revocation available
while disabled.
- Default the MCP origin to the existing auth public URL, with strict
validation and an explicit override.
- Persist the optional OAuth `company_id` restriction. Describe only
that company and reject approval for any other company, even if the
person belongs to both. Keep active-membership and role checks.
- Show the Paperclip icon and a large organization icon during consent.
Return the saved company logo through the company-scoped request
response and reuse the standard fallback icon. Use the requested concise
permission labels: “Read all of your Paperclip data” and “Allow write
access and creating tasks as me”. Use concise permission copy, retain a
compact client and callback-origin disclosure, and remove the footer
link.
- Default requested write access on for eligible roles. Preserve opt-out
across organization changes and refetch, reset defaults for a new
request, and submit read-only access when the request or role does not
allow writes. Align the shared checkbox with its label.
- Use organization wording in consent, management, settings, and
walkthroughs. Keep the organization fixed for hosted requests and retain
direct-instance choice.
- Add an Assistant Connection (MCP) card to the Connectors catalog, a
setup page in the app shell, and a return link from Experimental
settings. Include Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and generic remote MCP
instructions.
- Read the live gate and canonical server URL through authenticated
setup metadata. Show only the current person’s grants for the selected
organization, refresh after consent, and support revocation. Surface
catalog status failures with an explicit retry action; do not present
them as an empty connection list. Opening setup grants no authority.
- Start the eight guided chapters in Connections. Keep presenter notes
and chapter controls around real product pages in the app shell. Explain
the terminal, consent, delegation, retrieval, and revocation handoffs.
Mark conversation examples as illustrative. Cover first use, client
setup, connected, loading, and error states. Keep the existing consent
and management stories.
- Keep the paid-eval setup and browser helper aligned with the setting
and consent button.

## Verification

- Warm-standby integration fix `ec64ea05e`: public MCP ingress now
follows the Cloud claim guard; MCP and discovery paths return 503
instead of SPA HTML while unclaimed. Event polling checks the in-memory
claim before reading the persisted experimental setting. All 97 focused
OAuth/Cloud tests and server typecheck pass, including new request and
timer regressions for idle-before-claim and resume-after-claim behavior.
Fresh review is 5/5 with no unresolved threads, and all security scans
pass on this final head. All browser shards, typecheck, build, canary
installation and other test groups passed on the first attempt. The
unchanged Cursor sandbox default-command test timed out at 10 seconds;
the exact test passed locally without edits in 587 ms. The single
failed-job retry passed, with the original failure retained in workflow
37500711895. All 54 final-head checks pass on
`ec64ea05e9a03e2179d4e2f84c2de03761f7ce26` (two optional Storybook jobs
are intentionally skipped).

- Final master integration `8457828fc`: merged foundation #14846 and
current master, preserving the invitation changes and all 33 files from
the two newer upstream changes. No migration renumbering was required.
All 95 focused OAuth/Cloud integration tests, full recursive typecheck
and token gates pass. All CI gates passed on that integration head;
review identified the warm-standby issue fixed above.

- Security-review fix `8c1d0b696`: commit shared global/per-source
admission before outbound CIMD work, preserve failed-attempt receipts,
and validate resource/scope before fetching. Added migration
`0305_chubby_vin_gonzales.sql` and six concurrent/adversarial regression
cases. All 69 OAuth/metadata tests, 26 migration checks, full recursive
typecheck and production build pass. The security scanner passed that
commit. Follow-up `87f9658e7` limits only actual cache-miss fetches; 18
authorization requests sharing one proxy across two service instances
use just two fetches. All 70 OAuth/metadata tests and server typecheck
pass after that refinement. Final follow-up `8ebeae84c` reports
admission-storage failures as retryable HTTP 503 instead of invalid
client metadata. Its regression proves no outbound request before
admission and successful retry after storage recovers. All 71
OAuth/metadata tests and server typecheck pass. Final-head security
scanning passes; Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved findings. CI passed
all browser shards, typecheck, build, token gates and canary
installation. One unchanged adapter-utils bridge test raced a
response-file write (expected a JSON error, received the safe
file-changed error). The exact test passed locally without edits. The
single failed-job retry passed; the original failure is retained in
workflow 37490609192. All 54 checks now pass on final head
`8ebeae84ca77c0cf7ac12c2006f0f8743fe50e0b`, with security scan and fresh
Greptile 5/5 and no unresolved threads. Foundation #14846 subsequently
merged as `e34abee670069cca84afb2efb86041bce7dccbec`; the final
integration above now targets master.

- Integration with current master: preserved the new Connections source
filters and pagination, kept all eval suites, and regenerated the
consent/device snapshots as migrations 0303/0304. All four MCP migration
SQL hashes are unchanged from the staging versions. Full recursive
typecheck and production build, 132 focused UI tests (including catalog
filtering), 89 server authorization/settings tests, 26 migration tests,
120 eval calibration tests and token gates pass. Review follow-up
`4820ce74c` also keeps active assistant grants in Installed, with
pending/error recovery and revocation/company-isolation coverage. All 76
setup/catalog tests, UI typecheck and token gates pass after that fix.
The unchanged signoff browser test timed out waiting for a heartbeat in
CI at `4820ce74c`; the exact test passed locally without code changes,
and the preceding CI head passed that shard. That same unchanged test
failed at the reviewer stage in the next CI run. All five signoff tests
passed three times locally (15/15), without test changes. All eight
browser shards pass at final head `8ebeae84c`; no browser-test edits or
failed-browser-job retries were needed.

- Setup-page refinement at `9ab009178`: all 17 focused setup/consent
tests pass, along with UI typecheck, production build, Storybook build
and token gates. Browser exercised the shared prompt preview and client
tab switching, and the updated InvitationCopied Storybook interaction
checks its clipboard fixture. All final-head CI checks pass at
`9ab009178`, with no unresolved review findings. Deployed successfully
to Butter in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/37475189524.
Verified the actual page, tab switching and line styling, removed
actions/copy, and successful native copy/paste of the complete Butter
invitation into a local-only test field. The existing Claude grant was
left intact.
- Consent follow-up at `dc8e9fd11`: all 10 consent tests and token gates
pass. UI typecheck and production build passed again at `4e4d5e4d9`;
Storybook build and eval-helper typecheck passed for `28101cf91`.
Follow-ups let the primary button wrap on narrow screens, preserve a
distinct callback URL, and use only bundled icons to avoid pre-consent
requests to client-selected sites. Browser-verified the real consent
component in desktop and 320px mobile stories, including default
selection, write access and preserved opt-out. Updated E2E
heading/default-selection helpers. All CI checks passed at `dc8e9fd11`,
with review 5/5 and no unresolved threads. The Butter preview
publication needed a retry because npm initially accepted the DB package
before making it visible; the retry succeeded and `dc8e9fd11` deployed.
Verified a fresh, unapproved native Codex CIMD request on Butter:
default organization/write selection, known-client heading and icon,
distinct callback origin, and removed creation action. No grant was
approved for this UI check. Prior paid runs below retain their exact
source provenance; this UI-only follow-up did not rerun paid
qualification.
- Source-pinned paid matrix at
`2992ef2710f47230e7f484c709c6ba02524f884c`: **15/15 passed**, five cases
each on GPT-5.4 Mini, Claude Haiku and Sonnet. Campaign
`local-2026-10-06T02-41-14-462Z`. Covers cold start, existing config,
unavailable host, denied consent and reconnect/later retrieval, with
independent configuration/grant/task/run/document assertions. Original
failures, transcripts, source fingerprints and billing remain retained.
- Final instruction follow-up `cda8178af`: **3/3 cold starts passed** on
Mini, Haiku and Sonnet. Campaign `local-2026-10-06T02-58-30-041Z`.
Latest `0637b9f1c` shares that same guidance across HTML, Markdown and
manual UI after review; generated Markdown is verified byte-identical to
the paid-evaluated version. Shared build, server/UI typechecks, token
gates and 63 auth/metadata tests passed again. Every CI gate passed at
prior HEAD `0637b9f1c`, with review 5/5 and no unresolved threads.
- Other focused checks: 11 CLI credential/refresh-lock tests, 120 eval
calibration tests, server/UI/eval typechecks, token gates and Storybook
build passed. Full recursive typecheck and production build passed
during implementation; CI also passed them at `2992ef271`.
- Local full-suite limitations: a large-file Git streaming test times
out on this Mac, and broader CLI/route runs hit DB hook timeouts. Fresh
MCP reruns passed, and the corresponding CI groups passed. No claim that
the local full suite is green.
- Actual clients: Codex 0.153.4 and Claude Code 2.1.245 reach CIMD
consent; device CLI reaches verification/consent. New grants await human
approval. Existing local OpenCode retrieved a saved result in a fresh
conversation through its previously approved grant.
- Fresh OpenCode 1.18.17 on Butter: started with no MCP config, received
the exact copied invitation, read public setup, configured its server
and started PKCE consent. Its shell command timed out; background retry
reached the client's own callback deadline while approval remained
pending. Latest instructions cover that handoff. **No completed Butter
read/delegation/result retrieval is claimed.**
- Cloud companion
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/pull/672 passes
checks/review and deployed. Anonymous setup and device-protocol routing
verified. Core `2992ef271` deployed successfully and the actual Claude
web flow now reaches consent. Its extra JWT-bearer metadata is filtered
to implemented grants; unsupported token grants remain rejected. Final
`0637b9f1c` deployed successfully to Butter in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-cloud/actions/runs/37409195300;
live HTML and Markdown both contain the final guidance. The superseded
instruction-only build was canceled before deployment. This is a
core-only staging preview; private Cloud plugins are omitted. ChatGPT
web is signed out, so browser connector use is unverified.
- Screenshot gallery begins at Butter's dashboard and distinguishes real
setup/pending consent from local reuse and fixtures. It records the
timeout finding. New persistent access needs human confirmation before
the remaining actual-client acceptance work.
- Manual path: Connectors → Assistant Connection (MCP) → Copy invitation
→ paste into assistant → configure and start authorization → sign in and
approve → verify `paperclip_connection` → delegate → retrieve the saved
report later.
- Plan and instructions: `doc/plans/2026-10-05-assistant-invitations.md`
and `doc/public-mcp.md`.

## Risks

- Apply additive, replay-safe migration `0304_curvy_shadow_king.sql`
before using device authorization. The public setup link carries no
credential. Device codes and tokens stay private; neither sharing
instructions nor installing a plugin authorizes access.
- Apply additive migration `0305_chubby_vin_gonzales.sql` before
deploying the shared metadata admission gate. It retains at most 60
short-lived, hashed-source receipts per instance and rejects excess
attempts with 429.
- CIMD metadata fetching is a new external-input boundary. It requires
HTTPS, exact client ID and redirect validation, bounded responses and
guarded DNS/network access. Client names remain self-reported.
- Device support is per-instance. The central Cloud broker retains its
existing grant support. Host installation and tool reload capabilities
vary by client; instructions describe manual settings and restart
requirements.

- Consent names the registered client in its heading and displays its
identifying origin below. Known-origin icons are bundled; all other
origins show a neutral site icon without contacting client-selected
sites. Client names are self-reported; the callback origin is the
recipient check. The Cloud chooser also displays the original client and
receiving origin before tenant handoff.

- A user who accepts the preselected write permission can create tasks
and comments. Task creation and comments can start or wake agents and
use execution budget; the consent label uses the concise wording
explicitly requested by the maintainer. Scope requests, role checks, and
the final Connect action still apply.
- Migration `0303_supreme_garia.sql` adds one nullable UUID column with
`IF NOT EXISTS`. Requests without a company restriction keep the
direct-instance picker. The binding stays recorded if its company is
deleted; consent then fails closed.
- Deploy tenant support before the Cloud broker sends `company_id`.
Unknown or inaccessible organizations must never fall back to a

- The setting defaults off. Disabling access does not cancel work
already delegated. Existing tokens and unexpired subscriptions can
resume when enabled again; revocation remains separate.

callback state. Client command syntax can change and links to official
setup documentation are included.
- An authenticated instance and valid public URL are required. Hosting,
paid execution, and store publication remain separate rollout steps.
