DottaandPaperclip d72389bee2 feat: add Browser Use Cloud connector and live task browsers (#14627)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps gateway gives agents governed access to external tools.
> - Browser Use Cloud can run browser work, but a tool result alone does
not let a person watch or take over.
> - A task needs a durable browser session, a visible viewer, and
recorded costs.
> - This pull request adds a Browser Use Cloud v4 connection and
interactive browser tabs on tasks.
> - People can follow the work, interact with the page, and retain the
browser after the agent finishes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Agents need governed access to Browser Use Cloud. People need to see and
interact with the same browser from the task. A browser must remain
available after a run finishes and appear at the correct point in the
task feed.

**Proposed solution**

Add a native REST connection for the v4 API. Bind each session to its
company, task, agent, and credential grant. Open its interactive viewer
in the task side panel. Record provider costs as financial events. Use
`browser-use-cloud` as the app and connector key. Keep its skill with
the connector and deliver it only with authorized connection tools.

**Alternatives considered**

A v3 MCP connection would expose tools without the v4 lifecycle
integration. An external viewer link would leave the task. A fixed
viewer size would prevent pages from responding to changes in the task
pane.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the governed Apps gateway and Connected Apps roadmap. It
uses the existing task, grant, secret, approval, and financial records.
The work was requested by the maintainer. A search found no duplicate
Browser Use connector PR or issue.

## What Changed

- Add the Browser Use Cloud app, brand asset, API-key connection, and
profile settings under the `browser-use-cloud` key.
- Bundle the `browser-use-cloud` skill with the connector. Keep it out
of global `skills/` discovery. Deliver it only with authorized task/run
connection tools. Remove retired connector skill keys from runtime
overlays and preserve unrelated browser skills.
- Expose seven v4 tools through the governed gateway and deliver them to
native and CLI agents.
- Persist sessions, browsers, runs, event and recovery cursors, shutdown
leases, and cumulative cost accounting. Recover uncertain paid starts
without replaying them.
- Enforce task ownership, credential grants, approvals, revoked access,
and budget limits.
- Add interactive task browser tabs and compact chronological feed
entries. Retain the viewer across tab switches and keep visible idle
browsers open.
- Add debounced automatic viewport fitting, standard size presets, and a
viewer ownership lease.
- Add lifecycle, authorization, accounting, viewport, UI, and Storybook
coverage.
- Add an idempotent database migration after the current master
migration. Preserve deployed migration hashes. Migrate pre-release Cloud
connection and financial keys without replacing grants, credentials, or
browser history.
- Document provider behavior, live acceptance results, and the lack of
documented passkey forwarding.

## Verification

- Full workspace typecheck and production build pass on the updated
branch.
- Token gates, brand asset validation, module boundaries, and migration
ordering pass.
- Cloud tests verify global skill exclusion, authorized task/run
delivery, unassigned agents, disabled connections, revocation, adapter
isolation, and secret exclusion. The existing AgentMail connector
assignment test also passes.
- Migration replay runs twice against existing browser work and
financial records. It preserves the records and avoids duplicate costs.
- The focused provider, app catalog, OpenAPI, connection gateway, and
migration regression suites pass. Recovery coverage includes lost
replies, process crashes, provider rejection, and browser arrival
acknowledgement.
- All 54 checks pass on `2974b5f03641ad0cea3c941d8c02579316fa8c92`,
including the full test matrix, browser E2E shards, build, typecheck,
security, and release canary. Two optional Storybook jobs are skipped.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the same commit, with zero unresolved review
threads. The corrected review uses the actual master-to-head diff.
- The local `pnpm test:run` started and was stopped after the full CI
matrix passed. It did not complete locally; the full-suite result above
comes from CI.
- Earlier live acceptance used an isolated company with a capped
provider credential. The agent opened paperclip.ing, the embedded viewer
accepted navigation, and the same browser stayed available after
completion and tab switches.
- The local Storybook build passes. Stories cover the panel, footer,
feed entries, settings, lifecycle failures, and viewport modes with an
offline viewer fixture.

## Risks

- Browser Use charges for hosted work. Provider caps and local budget
checks reduce exposure; reported costs can arrive after work completes.
- Viewer and CDP URLs grant access to the browser. The server validates
and restricts them. They are excluded from agent results and durable
event data.
- Runtime resizing of v4 agent browsers uses a provider option confirmed
by live testing but absent from its published agent schema. Resizing
during a click may invalidate coordinates. Fixed presets remain
available.
- Viewport ownership is process-local and resets on restart. The
lifecycle and accounting records remain in the database.
- The original intermittent embedded-viewer stall has not been fully
diagnosed. A bounded reconnect and active-session recovery cover the
observed failure paths.
- Live tests did not cover every revocation, approval, rate-limit, or
restart case. Deterministic integration tests cover those paths. Passkey
forwarding is not claimed.
- Unknown create outcomes keep the credential available for cleanup.
Run-list absence cannot prove a paid POST was rejected, so recovery
stays pending until it can identify provider work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. Used reasoning, repository search, code execution,
browser interaction, and test tools. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size were not exposed in this session.

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 2f585ef26a fix(ui): preserve newer drafts after repeated receipt cleanup (#14332)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task composer keeps unsent text across page reloads.
> - A server receipt confirms a submitted message after a reload.
> - Replayed cleanup can apply the old text offset to a newer draft
twice.
> - This pull request reconciles each confirmed attempt once and
preserves both tabs’ unsent intent.
> - The full newer draft stays available for the next send.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Reloading the classic composer while a save was pending could truncate a
newer draft. Replayed receipt cleanup changed `A newer draft written
while delivery was pending.` into `nding.`. The storage helper rejected
the duplicate settlement, but the effect still changed the editor and
its body reference.

**Expected behavior**

A receipt settles its retained submission once. Later cleanup must
preserve the newer draft in both the editor and browser storage.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Send a comment and hold its HTTP response after the server accepts
it.
2. Type a newer draft, then reload the page.
3. Restore the matching receipt under React StrictMode.
4. Inspect the newer draft after effect replay and unmount.

The deterministic regression reproduces this on current master. The
existing browser test exposed the issue during #14329 verification.
Related draft persistence code came from #13338. A search found no
separate fix for this duplicate settlement.

## What Changed

- Reconcile each confirmed attempt once in memory so duplicate effects
cannot trim its newer draft again.
- Unlock confirmed drafts when storage writes fail. Never acquire
another tab’s pending receipt or assume its text is newer. Keep a
conflicting local draft and its attachments in tab-scoped session
storage while preserving the shared draft unchanged.
- Add component regressions for StrictMode replay, exact editor and
stored bytes, foreign receipts, attachment-only differences, reload
recovery, unavailable storage, and task navigation before autosave. A
brief notice explains when this tab has a separate draft.

## Verification

- RED: the new test received `nding.` instead of the full newer draft
before the fix.
- Review RED: three cases reproduced a locked composer after failed
storage writes or another tab's settlement. A further negative case
preserves a newer retained attempt and its attachments.
- Cross-tab review RED: four deterministic cases reproduced lost local
text, foreign receipt takeover, attachment loss when text matched, and
overwriting newer stored text.
- GREEN: 118 tests across `IssueChatThread`, `composer-draft`, and
`comment-submit-draft`, including same-mounted A → B → A navigation and
a full recovery-storage failure. Two further lifecycle RED tests verify
finishing a recovery returns to the shared draft on a later visit while
continued typing and attachments retain recovery.
- Both existing browser reload cases passed against a fresh server and
database on exact head `ceb80aca77fc8cc0f813c328ba87025b3e1a2222` (42.5
seconds), with classic mode enabled and disabled. The browser flow
verifies one original comment, a preserved draft, and a successful
second send.
- UI typecheck, token gates, and the shipped static UI build passed. The
initial typecheck required the fresh worktree's plugin SDK build; the
retry passed after that dependency built.
- The session-only failure mock also preserves localStorage on platforms
where both share the Storage prototype; this fixes the Linux workspace
test failure.
- All 56 checks passed on `4c30dcccc4fe5b90dcd08dd1d90475ea89e4a376`;
Greptile is 5/5 with zero open review threads. An unrelated runner
baseline scan hit its existing 100 ms deadline once; its isolated test
and the single failed CI job passed on retry without source changes.
This four-file UI fix does not change server or database code.


- Final alternate-staging acceptance passed on deployed source
`d884e1ab046cc76004e35e6091e9e6e2c918c9eb`, with exact health checked
before and after. Three real browser cases used shipped static UI and
real API saves: reload during an accepted-but-unacknowledged save in
both composer variants, plus two classic tabs with different drafts. The
test deliberately held only its own accepted POST acknowledgement and
temporarily withheld its own GET receipt from one tab to reproduce
settlement ordering. Both drafts survived independent reloads, the
shared draft remained intact after the other tab sent, and finishing
recovery returned to the shared draft on a later visit. Exact request
IDs/counts and server comment bytes passed; no provider was invoked.
Screenshots preserve the live drafts before fixture cleanup.
- An ordinary authenticated Chrome/CUA visit independently showed the
exact original and newer comments; an additional unsent draft survived
reload and was then cleared. All three isolated fixtures are complete,
browser contexts are closed, and original user tasks were untouched.

## Risks

- Reconciliation uses the exact request ID and draft key. Conflicting
drafts stay separate; the tab recovery survives same-tab reload through
session storage and does not outlive the browser tab. If recovery
storage is unavailable, the editor keeps its in-memory text and
explicitly warns the user to copy it before leaving.
- Attachment selections remain bounded to 20 per draft; if combining
equal-text snapshots would exceed that limit, each original selection
stays in its respective draft.
- No API, schema, or migration changes. The status notice uses existing
design tokens.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with tool use and code execution. The runtime does
not expose the exact deployment variant or context-window size.

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.

1ef3b08714 feat(ui): integrate agent personas across the app (#13171)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - A stable agent persona is useful only when the same identity appears
across the app.
> - Lists, task messages, selectors, and activity feeds need inexpensive
static avatars.
> - Onboarding and agent headers need a larger character with
expressions and pointer tracking.
> - This pull request connects the persona foundation to those existing
views and preserves onboarding draft assignments.
> - Full-page stories and Linux checks make the placements and
performance contract reviewable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Agents need a stable visual identity in lists, tasks, onboarding, and
configuration. External tools also need an image URL for that identity.

**Proposed solution**

Assign each agent a permanent palette from a fixed ClipLab character
library. Store the assignment on the agent. Render and cache preset PNG
URLs on demand. Use static images in dense views and one animated
character in larger placements.

**Alternatives considered**

A generated image bundle requires a separate asset build. A live
renderer in every avatar adds unnecessary work in large lists. Arbitrary
uploaded images do not provide the requested shared character system.

**Roadmap alignment**

This improves agent identity across existing control-plane views. It
preserves agent permissions, company boundaries, and status labels.
ROADMAP.md has no separate ClipLab persona milestone.

Related approaches: #2422 adds configurable image URLs and DiceBear
generation; #5578 adds optional uploaded avatars. This work uses a
fixed, versioned character library and preset URLs.

## What Changed

- Replace agent icons with static persona images across lists, the
sidebar, org charts, tasks, comments, selectors, activity, and dashboard
views.
- Put one animated character in the agent header. Let it follow the
pointer across the page, with reduced-motion and touch fallbacks.
- Add larger padded characters to agent creation. Keep the palette
stable across draft refreshes and connection retries, then reveal it
after success.
- Pass appearance through shared projections rather than fetching each
agent separately.
- Add real full-page Storybook examples for the agent list, overview,
task, dashboard, new-agent dialog, and connection page.
- Add Linux screenshot, clipping, density, and 500-avatar performance
checks.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and token gates pass on the rebased
tree. Persona lifecycle tests pass.
- The rebased feature passes 38 Linux screenshot/performance checks,
including both display densities, corner pointer positions, and the
no-WebGL/no-live-download contract for 500 avatars.
- The final Linux persona suite passes all 38 visual, lifecycle,
density, and full-page checks using the standard Storybook configuration
and real on-demand avatar endpoint.
- Final local focused verification: 45 avatar/native-recovery tests
pass; UI identity/routine tests, typecheck/build, token gates, and
Storybook build pass.
- Current-head CI passes: full workspace/server tests, all serialized
server groups, typecheck/release checks, build, canary validation, and
end-to-end shards. The build passed after retrying a native-runner
concurrency-test failure; its three targeted cases also pass locally.
- Manual inspection covered stable identities in the app, header
placement, full-page mouse tracking, onboarding size, and task/dashboard
placements.


### Screenshots

Linux captures use synthetic Storybook fixtures. Full-page captures use
reduced motion. The live character, mouse tracking, and disposal are
checked separately.

</details>

## Risks

- This PR depends on #13170, the persona foundation. Merge the
foundation first, then retarget this PR to master.
- Many placements change from icons to character silhouettes. Human
avatars and authoritative agent status labels retain their existing
behavior.
- Only one character can render live per view. Reduced motion,
hidden/offscreen content, touch input, and renderer failures use the
defined fallbacks.
- The full-page stories use fixture data. They do not contact a real
company or complete real provider sign-in.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model identifier and context
window are not exposed in this session. Used code editing, shell
execution, browser inspection, and Linux visual testing.

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 4d317274ce feat(channels): add experimental iMessage Photon (#13299)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Channels connect external conversations to company tasks and agent
execution.
> - Slack, Discord, and AgentMail already provide durable delivery and
access controls.
> - People also need to reach an agent from Apple Messages and send
photos.
> - Photon provides shared Pro DMs, dedicated numbers, and authenticated
event recovery.
> - This pull request connects Photon to the existing channel services.
> - People can message an agent while Paperclip retains task ownership
and approval authority.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: channel services, shared contracts, database constraints,
Apps, and agent Channels UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Paperclip has no iMessage channel. A person cannot use Apple Messages to
start a task, send a photo, or answer an agent's pending question.

**Proposed solution**

Add experimental **iMessage Photon** with Pro-compatible shared DMs or a
dedicated Photon Cloud number per agent channel. Reuse channel
admission, identity links, task generations, publication, and
interaction continuation. Keep groups disabled for shared allocation.
Dedicated lines support groups that an operator explicitly enables.
Require a fresh linked message and a published agent response before
setup completes.

**Alternatives considered**

Shared allocation has no owned phone number, so it reserves one project
and allows DMs only. Dedicated allocation reserves one stable number.
Local Mac access needs a separate deployment model. The upstream Photon
Chat SDK adapter does not persist the poll mappings and send receipts
required here. This change uses the lower-level SDK without adding
another agent runtime.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Connected Apps and agent communication through the existing
channel subsystem. It does not add a parallel tool connection or agent
loop. GitHub searches for Photon and iMessage found no matching provider
implementation.

**Additional context**

This ships behind the existing experimental channel gate. Dedicated-line
release qualification remains incomplete. Real Photon Pro DMs passed
task/reply, native poll, text answers, confirmation rejection, media,
restart, pause, reconnect, revocation, and removal tests. An
operator-supplied iPhone camera HEIC also passed the full round trip.
Dedicated groups remain unqualified. See [the verification
record](doc/connections/IMESSAGE-PHOTON-VERIFICATION.md) and [the
implementation plan](doc/plans/2026-09-11-imessage-photon.md).

## What Changed

- Add the provider catalog entry, shared setup contracts, and a forward
migration. A global partial index reserves the dedicated number or
shared project until its endpoint is archived.
- Add Cloud project inspection, vaulted project credentials,
selected-line token renewal, and a leased receiver. Persist checkpoint
updates under the receiver lease. Shared project replay accepts sparse
increasing sequences only after a complete recovery barrier.
- Connect DMs and enabled groups to existing task generations, sender
authorization, ordered delivery, and publication services. Keep each
iMessage conversation on its task after completion; only explicit `/new`
or `/close` releases the binding. Publish committed inbound comments
live and label their human bubbles “Sent from iMessage” in both
task-chat renderers.
- Persist immutable text/file send identities, upload receipts, poll
IDs, option IDs, per-person drafts, and canonical interaction
continuation proofs.
- Add source-bound file recovery, bounded HEIC/HEIF conversion, JPEG
previews, and related Live Photo companion video retention.
- Add the three-step setup flow and channel management surfaces with
official branding. Preserve the experimental gate and existing
pause/disconnect behavior.
- Add interactive production-component Storybooks for setup, access,
recovery, and ongoing conversations. Add provider, integration, catalog,
and browser regression coverage. Document setup, recovery, supported
boundaries, and qualification gaps.

## Verification

- Live Photon Pro, SDK 2.1.0: linked iPhone messages create a task and
receive native Codex replies in Apple Messages. Unlinked senders cannot
start work.
- Three real follow-ups each reopened the same completed task. Incoming
bubbles appeared on its open page without reload and showed “Sent from
iMessage.” The third follow-up ran after restarting the server on
`4d7222110`; the agent correctly repeated its previous reply from before
the restart.
- Native polls after restart, sequential text drafts, required-field
correction, explicit submission, approval rejection with a required
reason, and native continuation passed against Photon.
- PNG, text documents, synthetic HEIC, and a real iPhone camera HEIC
passed in both directions. The camera photo produced a 3024×4032 JPEG
preview. The native agent described it and returned the received HEIC
byte-for-byte.
- Pause/resume, reconnect, identity revocation, removal, `/status`,
`/new`, `/close`, and stale answers after close passed live. Messages
suppressed by pause did not become work on resume. Removal stopped
intake and removed credential bindings.
- All 304 focused tests passed on `4d7222110`. These cover Photon
unit/integration behavior, both task-chat renderers, live comment
hydration, completed-task continuity after restart, enabled groups,
duplicate delivery, and explicit reset/close. The selected Teams
completion-boundary regression also passed. Full workspace
typecheck/build and token gates passed for the conversation fix; the
final UI changes passed their affected typecheck/build and tests.
- All 26 new Photon Storybook Playwright cases passed in light and dark
themes, including the complete shared-DM setup journey and 390px mobile
follow-ups. UI typecheck and the Storybook build passed. These stories
use simulated Photon responses and do not replace the live evidence
above.
- The full chat-adapters browser suite previously passed all 39 cases.
Migration checks passed, and migration 0275 applied to the isolated live
instance with the earlier Photon migration already applied.
- The local full Vitest run was previously interrupted by the host's
embedded-Postgres shared-memory limit; it is not a full-suite pass. All
30 applicable CI checks passed on preceding head `7a5419cac`, with two
skipped checks and Greptile 5/5. Head `24f8e1aae` adds an explicit
required-story discovery guard to the 26 passing Storybook cases.
Greptile rates this final head 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
All 30 applicable CI checks passed, with two optional checks skipped.
- A repeated live send key suppressed the duplicate but returned gRPC 6
/ SDK `internalError` without an original receipt. Paperclip keeps
unknown delivery unresolved. This provider behavior is covered by a
regression test.
- See [the verification
record](doc/connections/IMESSAGE-PHOTON-VERIFICATION.md) for package
versions, redacted live evidence, deterministic coverage, and remaining
qualification gaps.

## Risks

- Dedicated group qualification remains unrun; groups are disabled for
the approved Pro scope. Real iPhone camera HEIC passed transport,
preview generation, agent inspection, and return. Keep the channel
experimental; the dedicated-line release matrix remains incomplete.
- Shared recovery and attachment aliases were verified against the live
gateway. Duplicate writes currently return an error without the original
receipt; unresolved sends require operator resolution. The
implementation fails visibly on invalid replay ordering, a reset cursor,
or changed identity.
- The HEIF converter passed on macOS arm64 and in Linux CI. Windows HEIF
binaries have not been executed in this work. Linux musl has no packaged
converter. Unsupported conversion retains the original and reports the
missing preview.
- The migration adds a global reservation across companies for Photon
numbers and shared projects. Paused and revoked endpoints keep that
reservation until removal.
- Integration touches shared channel services. Existing provider browser
coverage passes; broad repository verification is recorded above.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally excluded under repository policy.
The repository bot owns lockfile updates. The additional Superagent
supply-chain scan is neutral/inconclusive because these new dependencies
are not yet in the committed lockfile. Its security scan passed; all
required CI checks pass.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, browser testing, and tool use. The exact served model
identifier and context-window size are not exposed in this session. No

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 2083bf6f9a feat(connections): add AgentMail inboxes and email tasks (#13256)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections give agents controlled access to external services.
> - Experimental channels already map conversations to tasks and durable
work queues.
> - Email needs inbox ownership, recipient envelopes, delivery records,
and explicit sends.
> - This pull request adds AgentMail to that infrastructure and keeps
the provider key in the server vault.
> - Agents can receive and send email from local or sandbox execution
while the board follows each conversation in its task.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Agents need dedicated email addresses. Incoming email should become
assigned work. Internal task comments and progress must never become
outgoing email by accident.

**Proposed solution**

Add experimental AgentMail connections, an inbox assignment wizard,
durable email intake and publication, task email cards, and
authenticated API, CLI, and native runtime actions. Agents use Paperclip
credentials to request sends. Paperclip owns the provider key and
enforces access and task authority.

**Alternatives considered**

A general mailbox MCP connector does not provide durable task binding or
publication boundaries. A separate mailbox application duplicates task
collaboration. The board instead directs the agent through the normal
task conversation.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing experimental connections and task
infrastructure. Product scope and interaction design were reviewed with
the maintainer. Related connection authority work: #11831 and #11818.
The duplicate search found no competing task-based AgentMail
integration.

## What Changed

- Add AgentMail catalog data, shared contracts, company-scoped email
records, and an additive migration.
- Add vaulted setup, inbox assignment, access grants, trust guidance,
and provider-side allowlist guidance.
- Support WebSocket and signed-webhook intake through a shared durable
pipeline, deduplication, catch-up, and task wakeups.
- Queue explicit new conversations and replies with immutable send
intents, idempotency, delivery state, and uncertain-send resolution.
- Show inbound and outbound email cards in normal task conversations.
Keep internal messages internal.
- Add task-scoped CLI actions and the sandbox callback routes required
for Daytona execution.
- Provide a dedicated AgentMail skill automatically only to agents with
active authorized inbox assignments. Keep email instructions out of the
universal Paperclip skill.
- Advertise connector-owned `agentmail_inboxes`,
`agentmail_read_thread`, `agentmail_send`, and `agentmail_delivery`
tools only in eligible native sessions. Recheck live authority on
execution.
- Isolate Codex CLI connector skills by agent and skill revision.
Deliver the assigned skill in the run prompt for adapters that use
shared skill directories, including resumed turns. Keep automatic skills
out of manual persistent sync. Show them as read-only and document the
pattern in the connector playbook.
- Fix AgentMail health checks that entered local-stdio validation and
optional missing Codex credential cleanup in sandboxes.
- Add API, pipeline, authorization, sandbox, browser, and Storybook
coverage.

## Verification

- Live AgentMail testing covered WebSocket intake, signed webhooks,
restart catch-up, and a full receive → task → Daytona Codex CLI →
explicit reply → Delivered round trip. The reply was verified in the
other inbox. The normal task composer also initiated an outgoing email
child task.
- The connector-skill change was verified in the browser: AgentMail
appears once as an automatic, read-only skill with its assigned address.
Disabling experimental chat connections removes it; re-enabling restores
it. A regression test covers assignment data arriving after library
data.
- Connector regression coverage passed 178 runtime utility, email
integration, skill-route, and heartbeat tests. All 17 Codex execution
tests passed, including per-agent skill isolation, model identity,
revision changes, removal, and prompt delivery without shared skill
files.
- After rebasing onto master, all 44 focused email, heartbeat, and
native-authority tests passed. All 313 native-session executor tests
passed. The UI regression suite passed all 3 tests. These test sets
overlap earlier focused runs.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed after the rebase. Token
gates passed. Earlier focused Playwright task/setup coverage and the
Storybook build also passed.
- Native connector tool execution uses deterministic integration tests.
Live Daytona qualification used the Codex CLI adapter; the new
shared-home prompt fallback has deterministic coverage.
- The full repository suite is run by CI. The earlier unsharded local
full-suite attempt was stopped after the equivalent CI suites passed and
is not reported as a completed local run. Greptile reviewed
`7e57dc267a8446d3c906e3cc5b8abc94fb8860eb` at 5/5 with no unresolved
threads. All server, workspace, serialized server, and browser suites
passed in CI. The build job hit a five-second timeout in a runner
transport test; both variants and the full 80-test file passed locally
with unchanged timeouts. The build passed on retry on the same commit
without code or timeout changes. All required CI gates, including the
final `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e` summaries, are green on
`7e57dc267a8446d3c906e3cc5b8abc94fb8860eb`.

## Risks

- Email from external senders can start normal agent work. Setup
recommends a low-trust agent and AgentMail sender controls. Sender
addresses never grant board membership.
- Provider timeouts can leave uncertain sends. Retries retain their
idempotency key; expired windows require reconciliation or operator
resolution.
- Connector skills and native tools are assignment-dependent and require
current access. Revocation denies retained calls; assignment changes
select a new runtime context.
- Activation remains behind the experimental-channel setting. The native
runner path has deterministic coverage; live Daytona qualification used
the Codex CLI adapter.
- Schema changes are additive. Inbox ownership is unique across
companies. Disconnect preserves provider inboxes and task history.

and browser testing. The exact deployment model ID and context-window
size were not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 1d26ae965e fix(ui): keep active runner status current and say Working (#13238)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task transcript shows a running agent's progress.
> - The active-run query stops polling when the live-run list has data.
> - The transcript still preferred that initial snapshot, so an old
execution-confirmation state could remain after work resumed.
> - This pull request uses the refreshed snapshot for the same run and
keeps active status text at Working.
> - Operators can see current activity without connection-state jargon.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The task transcript said Reconnecting while the runner continued sending
messages and calling tools. The stale projection could also hide the
Thinking tail or stop the status spinner and timer.

**Expected behavior**

The selected run uses its current live snapshot. Active transcripts say
Working and show current activity. Completed and failed runs say Worked
and Stopped.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a running task before its execution confirmation arrives.
2. Let the active-run query stop polling when the live-run list returns
the run.
3. Let the list refresh to working while the cached active-run snapshot
still says reconnecting.
4. Inspect the transcript status and activity tail.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base commit: 52811c6ce.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source. The report concerns the new runner. The fix also
covers legacy transcript status text.

Searched open issues and open/closed pull requests for runner
reconnection work. No duplicate fix found.

## What Changed

- Refresh the selected active run from the polled list by matching the
task execution-run ID. Reject cached predecessors after run replacement.
- Use Working in native and legacy transcripts and active agent cards.
- Keep the active spinner, timer, and Thinking tail independent of
diagnostic execution phases. Terminal status takes precedence.
- Add stale-snapshot, timer, and terminal-state regressions. Update the
recovery story and documentation.

## Verification

- Focused Vitest suite: 148 tests passed across the run resolver, live
pill, runner turn, and task thread.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- Browser: inspected the recovery Storybook with a reconnecting
projection. It renders Working and Thinking.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm build-storybook`: passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` reported failures in unchanged server
tests; stopped the remaining general-server run after the equivalent CI
shards passed. The file-resource suite passes on rerun (35/35). Building
`build:runner-binaries` fixed a missing fake-provider binary; the
native-session-resume suite still has one continuity-reason assertion
mismatch (36/37 pass).
- Ran the remaining local test groups separately: both workspace groups
passed. All serialized suites passed except `pipelines-routes.test.ts`,
which still reports a socket hang-up on rerun (18/19 pass). The initial
access-route timeout passed on rerun. No server or runner source files
differ from the base.
- CI: all test shards, browser E2E, typecheck, runner verification, and
build passed on `22069462f30bdfcfb58f295da901a71ae5a47776`; the
aggregate verification gate passed (31 checks passed, 2 optional
Storybook checks skipped). Greptile is 5/5 with all review threads
resolved.

## Risks

- Low risk. This changes UI snapshot selection and presentation. It does
not change server recovery, leases, retry authority, or permissions.
- The live snapshot must match the task execution-run ID. Missing
matches use the cached active run only when its ID also matches.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). The exact deployment identifier and context-window
size are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, and browser verification.

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
and tool calls.

DottaandPaperclip 889947c238 feat: add experimental native chat connectors (#13038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.

## What Changed

- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.

## Verification

Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.

- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.

- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.

- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.

- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.

- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.

- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.

- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.

Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.

## Risks

- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).

DottaandPaperclip 8cfd30fb07 feat(ui): add composer Stop and simplify task controls (#13104)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task composer is where operators direct running agents.
> - Operators need to stop work without leaving the conversation.
> - Existing pause controls already hold task trees and interrupt both
runner types.
> - This pull request connects the composer to those controls and
removes repeated feedback.
> - Operators can pause work quickly and still queue messages while
agents run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Task pause, resume, and cancellation in the task page and composer.

**Current behavior**

The empty composer cannot stop a running task. Task controls require
extra confirmation and reason text. Pause can show several notifications
for the task already on screen.

**Proposed behavior**

Show Stop while this task runs and the composer is empty. Text or
attachments switch it to Send. Stop and the menu use the same manual
pause hold. Parent pauses include descendants. Keep task cancellation in
the menu with a compact confirmation. Show one quiet pause row and gray
cancelled-run details.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators can interrupt execution with one click. Drafts and queued
messages keep their existing behavior. The UI waits for actual
termination, including native cancellation acknowledgment.

**Breaking changes**

No endpoint, schema, or task-status change. Pause no longer asks for
confirmation or a reason. Resume now honors the existing wake-agents
option. Task notifications are suppressed for the task and subtree
currently in view.

Related UI work: #8228 changes navigation and composer shortcuts. This
PR covers execution controls. No duplicate Stop-button PR was found. The
change improves existing controls and does not duplicate a roadmap
milestone.

## What Changed

- Add Stop, pending feedback, duplicate-click protection, and inline
errors to the composer.
- Share the pause mutation across the composer, active-run controls, and
menu.
- Poll affected runs after a pause request. Require native cancellation
acknowledgment.
- Remove pause confirmation and shared reason fields. Reduce cancel
confirmation to its task count and actions.
- Honor wake-agents for executable tasks only. Preserve the pause when
recovery review is needed; show partial wake failures inline.
- Preserve explicit legacy reconciliation decisions while their
continuation waits for dispatch.
- Suppress notifications for visible task trees. Use quiet pause and
cancellation feedback.
- Add interactive stories using production controls and native/legacy
end-to-end tests.

## Verification

- User reviewed the running feature and revised Storybooks in the
browser.
- Rebased focused checks passed: 295 original targeted tests, 161
updated route/page/notification/status tests, and 26 recovery
integration tests.
- Both isolated runner journeys pass on the final revision (1.7
minutes). Coverage includes queueing, parent and child interruption,
persisted holds, no automatic continuation, reconciled resume,
cancellation, terminal exclusions, and no Stop toast.
- Native coverage uses real runnerd with a deterministic provider
fixture. Legacy coverage checks actual process termination. Live
hosted-provider execution was not tested.
- Repository typecheck and build, Storybook build, and token gates
passed after rebase. The final server typecheck/build also passed.
- The broad local run completed its general-server stage with 7,219
passing tests, 48 skipped, and two failures from cached pre-fix source
and a stale native provider fixture. Both failed tests pass in fresh
final-head reruns after rebuilding the fixture; the script did not
continue to its later local stages. CI runs all test groups on the final
revision.
- Final revision: all 31 applicable CI checks passed; Storybook visual
regression was skipped by its workflow conditions. Greptile: 5/5, zero
unresolved comments.
- Review `Tasks / Execution Controls` in Storybook. Type and clear a
draft, stop a run, expand cancellation details, and test the menu on
desktop and mobile.

## Risks

- Stop pauses descendants for a parent task. This is the existing pause
contract.
- A held task can remain active if interruption fails. The UI shows an
error instead of claiming termination.
- Resume can start multiple assignees when wake-agents is selected.
Backlog, blocked, and terminal tasks stay excluded. Existing execution
reconciliation remains mandatory where required; Resume never invents
action-outcome evidence.
- Notification suppression uses the visible task and cached subtree.
Notifications for unrelated work remain enabled.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact runtime snapshot and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
tool calls, code execution, and browser inspection.

Dotta 0f94521017 fix(runner): restore local session and task integrity (#12721)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for agents that perform work.
> - Paperclip Runner connects durable provider sessions to individual
task runs through PRP.
> - Provider continuity and per-run authority are different lifetimes.
> - The existing implementation mixed those lifetimes and lost event
metadata between provider frames, runnerd, persistence, API
sanitization, and the task thread.
> - That caused failed continuation, missing progress and Plans,
duplicate replies, hidden failures, and unsafe recovery.
> - This repair gives every heartbeat fresh authority, preserves
qualified provider-session continuity, and restores one lossless
presentation path without changing direct adapters.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A second native heartbeat could reuse tickets, leases, command receipts,
sequence state, and run identity from the first heartbeat. Provider
phase and item identity could be lost before the UI read them. Redaction
could corrupt protocol discriminators while still missing malformed
credential tails. The task thread could fold progress into the final
response, hide failures, or show more than one final answer. Native
Codex also exposed approval modes that do not yet have a durable
approval bridge.

**Expected behavior**

Each heartbeat uses a new PRP authority epoch. Codex and OpenCode
preserve exact qualified provider sessions; ACPX emits an explicit
continuity event when its qualified process-replacement policy is used.
Every accepted provider event is presented, classified as internal, or
surfaced as unsupported. The task page shows chronological progress,
reasoning summaries, activity, Plans, interactions, terminal failures,
and exactly one final reply. Direct adapters retain their existing path.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable the unified experimental Paperclip Runner setting.
2. Create a local native Codex, OpenCode, ACPX Claude, or ACPX Codex
agent.
3. Run response, Plan, structured-question/resume, restart,
cancellation, and failure scenarios.
4. Reload the task while active, waiting, failed, and settled.
5. On the old implementation, observe stale run authority, missing
classifications, incomplete output, or duplicated/folded replies.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The repair is based directly on `master` at
`87d05e194b643810d16d20612115acd01d735d43`.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with the embedded database.

Related work: Refs #12616, #12646, #12666, #12685, and #12700.

## What Changed

- Rotates PRP control-plane, outbox, ticket, lease, command, receipt,
and sequence authority for each heartbeat while carrying forward only a
validated provider-session identity.
- Reads `control-plane-state.json`, validates both durable schemas and
lifecycle values, resumes coherent current runs, archives qualified
settled authority, and quarantines malformed or mismatched scoped state
without moving ambiguous live legacy state.
- Preserves Codex provider phase and stable item identities so
commentary remains progress and only `final_answer` becomes final.
- Adds raw OpenCode HTTP/SSE boundary coverage and canonical reasoning
lifecycle mapping.
- Makes ACPX normalization lossless for visible reasoning, tool
lifecycle metadata, stable bounded identities, Plan revisions,
structured requests, failures, and qualified process replacement. Only
the compatible terminal assistant message is promoted as final.
- Applies schema-aware redaction before generic JWT-shaped detection and
scans every diagnostic string leaf. Malformed raw/escaped quoted
credential tails are redacted in both server and durable Rust state.
- Restores snapshot-style chronological task presentation, expandable
tool activity, inline Plan cards, visible waiting/resume/cancel/failure
states, and exactly one final answer.
- Makes `never` the only qualified native Codex permission mode and
rejects unsupported persisted native modes with remediation. OpenCode
and ACPX policies remain intact.
- Keeps the unified experimental Runner setting as the only enablement
flag. Onboarding and direct Codex, Claude, and OpenCode stay on their
legacy execution/finalization paths.
- Adds cross-language goldens, authority/recovery/fault coverage, exact
response/count assertions, and native plus legacy acceptance scenarios.

## Verification

- Pull-request GitHub Actions run Rust formatting/tests, TypeScript
checks, server/UI tests, builds, protocol drift checks, browser E2E, and
security scans.
- A separate workflow-only validation ref is pinned directly on this PR
head and runs the 35-cell paid local matrix: three core scenarios plus
structured-question resume and restart/resume for native Codex, native
OpenCode, ACPX Claude, ACPX Codex, and direct Codex/Claude/OpenCode.
Run: https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33682434315
- Acceptance requires exact single visible replies, monotonic sequences,
matching envelope discriminators, one semantic terminal, one run
terminal, no unresolved interaction, no duplicate mutation, no secret
leakage, provider continuity, and zero native rows for direct adapters.
- Per maintainer direction, tests are running in GitHub Actions rather
than on the slower local host. Only formatters and static diff checks
were run locally.

## Risks

- Recovery from old or partial filesystem state is sensitive. The repair
fails closed, preserves active or unverifiable authority, and
quarantines only state whose scoped ownership is safe to move.
- Provider event formats can change. Closed validators and boundary
goldens turn new or malformed events into visible diagnostics instead of
silent drops.
- Shared task presentation could affect direct adapters. Runtime-fact
gating plus the direct-adapter matrix protect the existing path.
- Managed and remote providers are not qualified here. Shared code
continues to compile and fail safely, but live qualification is
deferred.

Dotta 39206c0096 feat(ui): complete the task workspace (#12640)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task page is the main place where people guide and review agent
work.
> - Native runner events already project into the existing task chat on
the lower stack.
> - The larger task workspace must support those events without breaking
direct adapters.
> - Legacy questions, final replies, empty transcripts, and classic
controls must keep their behavior.
> - This pull request completes the provider-neutral task workspace
experience.
> - The benefit is one coherent task surface for native and direct
execution paths.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #12639.
Refs #12617.
Refs #12352.

**Subsystem affected**

Task chat, task detail, side panels, interaction forms, and transcript
presentation.

**Problem or motivation**

The task page does not provide one complete workspace for live activity,
plans, questions, queued guidance, files, and documents. Earlier native
UI work also exposed compatibility risks in legacy question and reply
paths.

**Proposed solution**

Add the task workspace components and provider-neutral protocol
presentation. Keep runner-only controls behind runtime facts. Preserve
all direct-adapter composer, transcript, interaction, and finalization
behavior.

**Alternatives considered**

A separate runner page would duplicate task behavior. Replacing legacy
transcript logic would create unnecessary adapter regressions.

**Roadmap alignment**

This work supports the unified task experience and the Cloud and Sandbox
agents milestone.

## Stack

- Base PR: #12639.
- Lower PR: #12638.
- This PR contains only its 119-file UI delta against
`runner/remote-wss-transport`.
- The next stack PR adds administrator and observability controls.

## What Changed

- Added a reusable task workspace side panel for files and documents.
- Added provider-neutral cards for tools, plans, questions, protocol
activity, and progress.
- Added queued guidance and richer composer state.
- Added compact and expanded interaction presentation.
- Added live activity, thinking, usage, recovery, and final reply
presentation.
- Added document annotations and task deep links.
- Added bounded question validation and response handling.
- Preserved native runner event projection from master.
- Preserved legacy channel-less replies and explicit final reply
precedence.
- Preserved direct-adapter and classic-interface controls.
- Did not change server execution selection, Rust code, migrations,
workflows, or `pnpm-lock.yaml`.

## Verification

- GitHub Actions will run UI tests, repository tests, typecheck, build,
browser tests, security, and policy gates.
- Tests cover active, settled, empty-transcript, interaction,
queued-message, plan, question, file, document, and classic-interface
states.
- Compatibility tests cover direct adapters and native runner projection
together.
- Local tests were not run. The requested verification policy uses
GitHub Actions for this series.
- `git diff --check runner/remote-wss-transport...HEAD` passes.
- The delta contains 119 UI-only files.

## Risks

- This is a large task-page change.
- Most files are new focused components and tests.
- Shared transcript code keeps the lower native projection and legacy
direct-adapter fallbacks.
- Runner-only controls use adapter and runtime facts.
- No execution path or rollout flag changes in this PR.

scotttong 4d82f5eaea copy: unify user-facing "company" wording to "organization" (#12243) 2026-08-27 01:04:55 -07:00
Devin Foley 11f6c754c9 feat: dedicated import pause reason with visible paused-assignee notices (#12140)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Company import parks every imported agent as a safety default, and
issue assignment wakes are dropped for paused agents
> - The pause was recorded as the generic reason "system" and was almost
invisible: the chat-style task thread showed nothing, the legacy notice
had no action, and the new-task dialog gave no hint
> - Users assigned tasks in an imported company, nothing ran, and there
was no explanation — the imported company looked broken
> - This pull request records a dedicated "import" pause reason and
makes the paused state visible and fixable where the user is looking
> - The benefit is that a silent no-op becomes an explained state with a
one-click resume

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Working with a company whose agents arrived paused from a company
import.

**Subsystem affected**

Shared constants (`PAUSE_REASONS`), company import service
(`server/src/services/company-portability.ts`), task thread and new-task
dialog UI.

**Current behavior**

Imported agents get `pauseReason: "system"`, the same value
plugin-managed and built-in agent pauses use. Assigning an issue to a
paused agent silently drops the wake. The chat-style task thread renders
no paused notice; the legacy thread's notice says "It was paused by the
system." with no action and only renders when the composer is shown.

**Proposed behavior**

Import writes `pauseReason: "import"`. The paused-assignee notice
explains the import pause, offers an inline "Resume agent" button
(suppressed for budget pauses, which clear on their own), and renders
for read-only viewers. The chat-style task thread shows the same notice
above the composer. The new-task dialog warns when the selected assignee
is paused.

**Breaking changes**

None. `PAUSE_REASONS` is widened, not changed; the column already stores
free-text values in other paths, and every consumer is an equality check
with a manual fallback, so an older client shows the generic fallback
copy for the new value.

## What Changed

- `packages/shared/src/constants.ts`: `"import"` added to
`PAUSE_REASONS`.
- `server/src/services/company-portability.ts`: the import pause patch
writes `pauseReason: "import"`.
- `ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`: `IssueAssigneePausedNotice`
gains import copy, a Resume button, test ids, and is exported; it now
renders even when the composer is hidden. New `onResumeAssignee` /
`resumeAssigneePending` props.
- `ui/src/components/TaskChatThread.tsx`: renders the paused-assignee
notice above the composer dock (the chat-style thread previously had no
paused surface at all).
- `ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.tsx`: wires a resume mutation
(`agentsApi.resume`) through both thread variants and invalidates the
company agent list.
- `ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.tsx`: inline note when the chosen
assignee is paused, with import-specific copy.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts` — 82 tests pass (pause pin
updated to `"import"`).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx` — 120 tests pass (new: notice
copy per reason, resume click, budget suppression, active-agent null
render, dialog note).
- `pnpm run typecheck` in `packages/shared`, `server`, and `ui` — clean.

## Risks

- Low risk. The resume action calls the existing `POST
/agents/:id/resume` route with its existing guards. Existing rows keep
`"system"` and fall back to the current generic copy; only new imports
write `"import"`.

cb0009b097 fix: preserve recovery retries across restarts (#11817)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The control plane must keep each active issue on a clear execution
or recovery path.
> - A missing issue disposition can require more than one bounded repair
attempt.
> - A server restart could lose that repair path or move source
ownership to the recovery owner.
> - A parked or expired retry could also make the user interface show a
false healthy state.
> - Concurrent recovery loops must not schedule the same repair attempt
twice.
> - This pull request keeps retry state durable, makes scheduling
atomic, and keeps source ownership stable.
> - The benefit is that recovery continues after a restart and operators
see the correct state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A run that ended without a valid issue disposition could lose its repair
path after a server restart. Manager recovery could also change the
source owner. In addition, a parked or expired retry could make the
issue look healthy when no active work existed. Concurrent
reconciliation could also schedule the same repair attempt twice.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip must keep bounded source and manager repair attempts across
restarts. Recovery ownership must stay separate from source issue
ownership. The server and user interface must report only a live retry
as active work. Each repair attempt must be scheduled at most once per
company.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an agent run on an issue.
2. End the run without a valid issue disposition.
3. Let the first repair attempt schedule a retry.
4. Restart the server, let the retry time pass without a live run, or
start two reconciliation loops together.
5. Observe that the repair path can stop, the issue can show a false
healthy state, or duplicate retries can be created.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The problem existed on `master` before candidate head
`d8e620fe86bade7df18decac332007f5821ae04f`.

**Deployment mode**

The problem affects self-hosted servers and local builds that use
automatic recovery.

## What Changed

- Persist bounded source-owner and manager repair lineages with stable
fingerprints and retry limits.
- Resume incomplete disposition repairs after a server restart.
- Keep recovery ownership separate from source issue ownership and
enforce source mutation authority.
- Project live retry evidence into issue and blocker summaries.
- Show recovery owner, return owner, attempt count, and retry state in
the board user interface.
- Treat expired or parked retries as attention states unless a queued or
running attempt exists.
- Atomically deduplicate disposition-repair wake requests with a
company-scoped partial unique index.
- Reuse the winning run when concurrent reconciliation loses the
uniqueness race, without duplicate scheduling activity.
- Honor disabled on-demand wake policy before recovery scheduling and
again before delayed retry promotion.
- Keep the new index migration safe for lagging seeded databases that
already contain the index.
- Add server and user interface tests for recovery, restart, ownership,
retry, concurrency, and blocker states.
- Update the implementation and execution semantics documents.

## Verification

- Focused server recovery and ownership suites: 282 tests passed on the
repaired base candidate.
- Focused user interface recovery suites: 128 tests passed on the
repaired base candidate.
- Atomic-deduplication schema and recovery suites: 111 tests passed on
the first Greptile repair.
- Recovery and scheduled-retry wake-policy suites: 126 tests passed at
`d8e620fe86bade7df18decac332007f5821ae04f`.
- The exact lagging-source migration-order test passed after the index
migration became idempotent: 1 test passed and 62 unrelated tests were
skipped.
- `@paperclipai/db` and `@paperclipai/server` typechecks passed at the
current head.
- Migration generation and migration safety checks passed for migration
`0226_tan_colossus.sql`.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed on the repaired base candidate.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed on the repaired base candidate.
- `pnpm build` passed on the repaired base candidate.
- `pnpm test:run` passed 4,540 tests on the repaired base candidate.
Four fixed-port cases met listeners that already existed on the host.
- The two unchanged fixed-port files passed in an isolated network
namespace: 129 tests passed and 27 tests were skipped.
- Independent Security and QA reviews approved
`63c0423aab54c66f2293a20b0fb3f3b013ee3ba8`; exact-head re-review is
required after automated checks settle on
`d8e620fe86bade7df18decac332007f5821ae04f`.

## Risks

- Recovery orchestration affects issue liveness and ownership. The new
paths use bounded attempts, stable fingerprints, row locks, authority
checks, and database uniqueness.
- A conservative attention state can show more warnings when a scheduled
retry has no queued or running attempt. It does not hide stopped work.
- Migration `0226_tan_colossus.sql` creates a partial unique index on a
known-large table. Migrations run transactionally, so `CONCURRENTLY` is
unavailable. The matching disposition-repair key namespace is introduced
by this release, so deployed databases have no matching rows before the
index is added.

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 from the GPT-5 model family used agentic reasoning, tool
use, and code execution. The runtime did not expose the exact model ID
or context window.
- Anthropic Claude Opus 5 used a 1M context window, tool use, and code
execution for part of the user interface repair, as recorded in the
commit history.

Devin FoleyandHawik 1d0e826767 feat(acpx/ui): adapter-declared capabilities for verbose streaming backends (no behavior change by default) (#11761)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Local agent adapters stream their work through the shared acpx
engine, which every ACP adapter (`claude_local`, `codex_local`,
`gemini_local`, custom ACP) runs on
> - Verbose streaming backends break two shared-engine behaviors: the
auto-posted run summary concatenates every text delta including the
thought stream (a long multi-tool run once auto-posted a ~50k character
monologue as an issue comment), and token-by-token tool-argument
streaming floods the run log with tens of thousands of
placeholder-titled in-progress events per run
> - These fixes were developed inside the `kimi_local` adapter PR, where
Kimi Code's streaming volume (~16,000 text deltas per run vs ~290 for a
comparable Claude run) surfaced both problems
> - Changing this behavior for all adapters at once is a fleet-wide
risk, and hardcoding adapter identities in shared code does not scale to
many adapters (or work at all for externally-shipped plugin adapters) —
so the behaviors become invocation-config parameters that an adapter's
own acpx config builder sets, with defaults preserving today's behavior
byte-for-byte
> - The benefit is that the machinery lands fully tested with zero
behavior change for existing adapters — pin tests prove it — the engine
carries no adapter identities, and any adapter (including `custom_acp`
configs for external backends) opts in declaratively

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Refs #9967 — extracted from the `kimi_local` adapter PR and
restructured to be inert by default; the commit preserves the original
author's (@hawikk) authorship.

**Current behavior**

When an acpx-engine run ends without the agent leaving a comment, the
auto-posted summary is every streamed text delta concatenated, thought
stream included. Backends that stream tool arguments emit tens of
thousands of placeholder-titled `in_progress` tool events into the
stored run log, pinning the live activity indicator to a generic "tool
call". There is no mechanism for an adapter to vary either behavior, and
shared code must never branch on adapter identities.

**Proposed behavior**

Two engine invocation-config parameters, read with behavior-preserving
defaults: `summaryStrategy` (`"full"` = existing concatenation, the
default; `"lastOutputSegment"` = segment output at tool starts, exclude
thought stream, post the last non-empty segment) and
`coalescePlaceholderToolUpdates` (`false` = never drop an event, the
default; `true` = coalesce placeholder-titled in-progress updates). An
adapter opts in from its own acpx config builder — the engine has no
per-adapter knowledge, no adapter identity appears anywhere in shared
code, and `custom_acp` agent configs can set the same knobs for external
verbose backends.

**Reason and benefit**

Existing adapters are provably unaffected — new pin tests assert the
default path's summary and tool-event output byte-for-byte, so any
future change that alters behavior for claude/codex/gemini/custom fails
the suite. The verbose-backend handling still lands fully tested,
activated declaratively by the adapter that needs it (the `kimi_local`
adapter PR sets both knobs in its config builder).

## What Changed

- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.ts`: the run
preparation parses `summaryStrategy` and
`coalescePlaceholderToolUpdates` from the invocation config (validated,
defaulted); summary accumulation and `emitRuntimeEvent` branch on the
prepared values. The default path is the pre-existing code
(`textParts.join("")`, no event filtering). `buildAcpxRunSummary` is the
exported last-segment strategy.
- `packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts`: a pin test
asserting the default path's exact summary (thought stream included) and
full tool-event stream (placeholder-titled in-progress updates present,
names restored); opt-in tests for each knob; a `buildAcpxRunSummary`
unit test.

- `ui/src/adapters/types.ts`: `UIAdapterModule` gains an optional
`transcriptPresentation` capability — `maxVisibleEntries` (issue-chat
transcript window, default 30) and `liveReasoningView` (`"ticker"`
default; `"scrollLog"` renders live reasoning in a scrollable
auto-following box with one entry per tool call).
- `ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.ts` and
`ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`: shared code resolves the hints
via `findUIAdapter(adapterType)` with today's defaults as fallback — no
adapter identities anywhere. The `scrollLog` rendering component ships
here but is unreachable until an adapter declares it.
- `ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts`: a capability test registers
a synthetic verbose adapter and asserts the wider window; the
pre-existing test keeps pinning the default 30-entry window.

No adapter declares any of this in this PR — every adapter renders and
summarizes exactly as before, and there is no per-adapter data anywhere.
The `kimi_local` adapter PR (#9967, stacked on this branch) is the first
consumer: it declares `transcriptPresentation` in its own UI module and
sets the engine knobs in its own acpx config builder.

## Verification

- Engine suite: 130/130 pass (126 existing + 4 new); chat suites
(`issue-chat-messages`, `IssueChatThread`, `RunChatSurface`): all pass
including the new synthetic-adapter capability test — 237 tests across
the touched surfaces
- The pin tests are the regression guard: the engine test encodes
today's summary text and tool-event sequence for a default-config run,
and the existing 30-entry-window test pins the default transcript
window, so "nothing changed for Claude/Codex users" is an executable
assertion, not a review judgment
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils --filter @paperclipai/ui
typecheck`: clean

## Risks

- Low: with no adapter setting the knobs, every code path taken in
production is the existing one. The only behavioral surface is additive
(an unused strategy and an unused filter), exercised by tests.
- The knobs are ordinary invocation-config keys, so a `custom_acp` agent
config can also set them — intended: an external verbose backend gets
the same handling without code changes. Both knobs only affect that
agent's own run summaries and run-log verbosity.

## Model Used

- Original implementation authored in #9967 by @hawikk (models
documented there: Moonshot AI Kimi K3 Coding via Kimi Code CLI 0.27.0,
OpenAI GPT-5 Codex, Anthropic Claude Opus 4.8). The commit preserves
that authorship.
- Extraction, restructuring into config-declared parameters, pin tests,
and verification: Anthropic, **Claude Fable 5** (`claude-fable-5`) via
Claude Code, with repository, shell, and Git tooling.

DottaandPaperclip e826188e82 refactor(settings): unify settings and speed up exports (#11789)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app that people use to manage AI agents
for work.
> - Operators use the settings area to control a company and its
Paperclip instance.
> - The current navigation separates related settings and uses duplicate
instance pages.
> - Company exports also do independent reads in sequence and do extra
work for previews.
> - Hardened workspace commands can differ from their saved command
after loopback binding.
> - This pull request makes these related operator workflows consistent
and faster.
> - The benefit is one clear settings area, faster exports, and stable
runtime command matching.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #338

Related: #9834

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the company settings UI, company export preparation, and
workspace runtime command matching.

**Current behavior**

Company and instance settings use separate navigation and duplicate
pages. Export preparation reads many independent records in sequence.
Preview generation can also build an unused organization image. A
command with a forced loopback bind can fail to match its saved runtime
command.

**Proposed behavior**

Use one settings navigation and put general instance controls on the
company General page. Load independent export data with bounded
concurrency, skip unused preview image work, and load the export page
only when it is needed. Treat the loopback-bound form of a command as
the same runtime command.

**Reason and benefit**

Operators get one clear settings area. Large company exports need fewer
serialized reads. Export previews and initial UI loads do less work.
Hardened runtime services remain linked to their saved command
definitions.

**Breaking changes**

The obsolete instance General URL redirects to the unified settings
page. Access and Heartbeats remain available, and legacy bookmarks keep
their destinations. No API response shape or database schema changes.

## What Changed

- Unified company and instance settings navigation and removed duplicate
instance settings pages.
- Embedded general instance controls in the company General page and
kept access-sensitive navigation behavior.
- Preserved instance Access and Heartbeats controls in the unified
navigation and normalized old bookmarks to those destinations.
- Improved environment and access-state handling when workspace seed
requests overlap.
- Added bounded export reads, a lighter preview path, deferred export
preparation, and lazy export-page loading.
- Matched loopback-bound runtime commands to their saved command
definitions.
- Added focused shared, server, and UI regression tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run <18 changed test files>`: 18 files and 256 tests
passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed all four token gates.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm build`: passed for all workspace projects.
- `pnpm test:run`: tests ran without a reported failure, but the runner
did not close after the server handoff tests. The process closed with
status 0 after an interrupt.
- Focused latest-head route tests: 2 files and 4 tests passed.
- GitHub latest-head checks: all completed without failure.
- Greptile: 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- Medium risk: settings routes and navigation changed across several
operator roles.
- Medium risk: bounded export concurrency increases simultaneous
database reads. The limits stay below the normal pool size.
- Low risk: runtime command matching accepts only the known Tailscale
HTTPS loopback transformation.
- No migrations are included.

DottaandPaperclip 6b8e42168e Add governed secret alias confirmation cards (#11486)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents need scoped secret bindings to use external services safely.
> - Agents could not request an existing secret under a new config name
without an internal secret identifier.
> - Existing binding proposals were only visible in Settings and did not
create an issue-thread approval path.
> - A confirmation card could record acceptance without proving that the
binding was created.
> - This pull request extends the existing secret proposal system with
safe source references and governed issue-thread confirmation cards.
> - The benefit is a one-click flow that creates the binding or shows a
clear failure without exposing secret material.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related prerequisite: #11482.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: server REST APIs, shared interaction contracts, database
proposal schema, and issue-thread UI.

**Problem or motivation**

An agent can need an existing bound secret under a second config name.
The agent cannot safely discover the internal secret identifier. The
existing proposal is also easy for the operator to miss because it only
appears in Settings. A generic confirmation can record acceptance
without executing the binding.

**Proposed solution**

Let an agent create a binding proposal from one of its existing config
paths. Mint a server-owned, human-only confirmation card on the
checked-out issue. Recheck the operator's target-agent permission under
the proposal row lock. Execute the existing proposal transaction after
card acceptance. Store an `executed` or `failed` result on the card.
Render the complete lifecycle in the issue thread and attention
resolver.

**Alternatives considered**

A new alias subsystem would duplicate proposal quotas, expiry,
authorization, and binding synchronization. A text-only issue comment
would not provide a governed action or an execution result. An
agent-supplied card payload would permit metadata smuggling. This change
uses the existing proposal transaction and a server-owned payload
instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change extends the completed "Secrets Manager with per-agent
access" roadmap item. It preserves scoped bindings and audited
resolution. The required GitHub search found no other open duplicate
issue or pull request.

## What Changed

- Added safe source-config-path binding proposals and preserved
user-secret ownership checks.
- Added a proposal-to-interaction link and an idempotent database
migration.
- Minted human-only `request_confirmation` cards with server-owned
`secretProposal` metadata.
- Rejected agent-supplied governed metadata and agent addressees.
- Rechecked `agent_config:update` authority under the proposal lock
before execution.
- Recorded `executed` or `failed` results and posted a failure comment
when no binding was created.
- Settled failed accepted proposals atomically and mirrored rejection,
withdrawal, and expiry in both directions.
- Emitted `secret.binding.created` for new agent binding writes.
- Added a dedicated issue-thread card for pending, executed, failed,
rejected, withdrawn, and expired states.
- Showed only the source label, target agent, config path, skeptical
justification, expiry, and safe failure code.
- Replaced resolved attention-query entries immediately with the
stitched server result.
- Added focused server, database, UI, and state-transition tests.
- Added Storybook fixtures for every review state and documented the API
and agent behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/components/AttentionInteractionResolver.test.ts` — 58 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build-storybook`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secret-proposals-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/secrets-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/agents-service-secret-bindings.test.ts` — 142
passed.
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db exec vitest run
src/company-secret-proposals-migration.test.ts --silent` — 1 passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm test:run` — server 4,175 passed, UI 4,109 passed; the CLI
AWS-doctor case passes 8/8 with runtime-injected static AWS credential
variables unset.
- `pnpm build`
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`

## Risks

- Migration `0221` adds one nullable foreign key and one index. It uses
idempotent guards.
- The accept route performs a governed write after it records card
acceptance. A failed write is visible and settles the proposal as
rejected.
- Concurrent proposal and card resolution must use
proposal-before-interaction lock order. A race test covers direct
approval against card rejection.
- The new audit event increases activity rows for newly added agent
bindings. It does not include secret values or fingerprints.
- The card includes only safe proposal metadata. It does not include
secret value, fingerprint, version, or internal secret identifiers.
- The UI uses the stitched resolution result. Focused tests cover
immediate cache replacement and every terminal state.

> This work extends an existing completed roadmap capability. The GitHub
duplicate search returned no other open related work.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex with model ID `gpt-5`. The runtime did not expose its
context-window size. Reasoning, repository tools, code execution,
database integration tests, UI rendering, and GitHub tools were enabled.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip 01b51dc0e5 fix(runtime): stop Live badge and Working shimmer after task teardown (#10985)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task list and the chat views show a Live badge and a Working
shimmer for an issue that has an active run.
> - A finished task kept the Live badge and the Working shimmer after
the run ended and the sandbox stopped.
> - The user interface reads run liveness from the
`heartbeat_runs.status` row. The run finalizer writes the terminal
status in a step that is separate from the agent `status=done` update.
When the sandbox or the run process stops between the two steps,
`heartbeat_runs.status` stays `running` forever.
> - A run row that stays `running` makes a finished task look
perpetually Live, and the user interface has no guard for an issue that
already reached a terminal status.
> - This pull request closes the invariant "environment lease released
implies the run is terminal" on the server, and adds a user interface
guard that suppresses live state for a terminal issue.
> - The benefit is that a finished task stops showing Live and Working,
both at the source (the run row) and at the surface (the badge and the
shimmer).

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Bug description**

- A completed task kept the Live badge and the Working shimmer after its
run ended and the sandbox was torn down.

**Steps to reproduce**

- Run an agent task to completion. Let the sandbox tear down while the
run finalizer is between the `status=done` update and the terminal
run-status write.
- Open the task list or the chat view for the finished task.

**Expected behavior**

- A finished task shows no Live badge and no Working shimmer.

**Actual behavior (before this change)**

- The finished task showed the Live badge and the Working shimmer
because its `heartbeat_runs.status` row stayed `running`.

This pull request supersedes the two separate pull requests #10954
(frontend) and #10955 (backend). It carries all of their changes for the
same race.

## What Changed

Server:

- Run teardown terminalizes a still-running or still-queued run before
it releases the environment lease. It writes `succeeded` when the issue
already reached `done`, `cancelled` when the issue is `cancelled`, and
`interrupted` otherwise. It never overwrites a status that another path
already made terminal.
- The recovery stale-lock sweep terminalizes an orphaned running run to
`interrupted` after it confirms the process and the sandbox are both
gone. It requires recorded process metadata, so it never terminalizes a
live run, a queued run, or a scheduled retry.
- Each terminal transition writes a run event.
- The stale-lock sweep continues and clears the lock when the audit
write fails. It logs the failure loudly.
- New server tests cover both invariants.

User interface:

- A shared guard suppresses the Live badge and the Working shimmer when
the issue status is terminal.
- The guard keeps non-terminal `queued` and `running` issues live.
- The guard prefers the newest issue live-status snapshot.
- New user interface tests cover the guard and the snapshot preference.

## Verification

Server:

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk ensure-build-deps && tsc
--noEmit` in `server/` — 0 errors.
- `pnpm --filter server test
heartbeat-run-lease-release-terminalization.test.ts
recovery-stale-issue-lock-sweep.test.ts` — 12 tests pass.

User interface:

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — 0 errors.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/liveIssueIds.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts` — 40 tests pass.

## Risks

- Low risk. The server change only forces a still-live run row to a
terminal status when the lease releases or when the recovery sweep
confirms the process is dead. It never overwrites an existing terminal
status, and it guards the recovery path with process metadata to avoid
terminalizing a live run.
- The user interface change is additive. The guard only suppresses live
state for a terminal issue and keeps queued and running issues live.
- No database migration. No change to any external endpoint.

656ecfa585 fix(server): keep Date fields intact through secret redaction; harden chat notice timestamps (#10984)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The task chat thread renders issue comments, system notices, and run
transcripts
> - The server routes comment payloads through the run-secret redaction
walker before it sends them
> - The walker rebuilds each object with `Object.entries`, and this
collapses `Date` instances to `{}`
> - The chat renderer then calls `.toISOString()` on an invalid date and
throws, and the thread falls back to the error banner
> - This pull request keeps `Date` instances intact in redacted
responses and makes the renderer safe against bad timestamps
> - The benefit is that task threads with system notices render
correctly again

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**

Task threads that contain a system notice showed the banner "Chat
renderer hit an internal state error." in place of the conversation.
This occurred on many tasks.

**Expected behavior**

The thread renders all comments and system notices with correct
timestamps.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task that has at least one system notice comment (for example
a "Workspace ready" notice).
2. `GET /api/issues/{id}/comments` returns `createdAt: {}` for every
comment because the secret-redaction walker collapses `Date` objects.
3. The system-notice row calls `new Date({}).toISOString()`. This throws
`RangeError: Invalid time value` and trips the thread error boundary.

**Version / deployment**

Regression from #9934 (`e43f187ca`). It applies to all deployments that
include that commit.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/run-secret-redaction.ts`:
`redactRegisteredSecretValues` now returns `Date` instances as-is. Dates
hold no redactable text, and the `Object.entries` rebuild turned them
into `{}`.
- `ui/src/components/IssueChatThread.tsx`: the system-notice row formats
its timestamp with a new `toValidIsoString` helper. A value that does
not parse as a date now degrades to "no timestamp" instead of a render
crash.
- Regression tests at three layers:
- Walker unit tests: `Date` values survive with and without registered
secret values.
- Route test: `GET /issues/:id/comments` serializes `createdAt` /
`updatedAt` as ISO strings.
- Render test: a system notice with a malformed `createdAt` renders
without the error boundary.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run --root server
src/__tests__/run-secret-redaction.test.ts` — 5 passed.
- `npx vitest run --root server
src/__tests__/issue-comment-redaction.test.ts` — 4 passed (embedded
Postgres route test).
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx
src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts` — 121 passed.
- Each new test was run against the unfixed code and failed there, which
confirms it guards the regression.
- A local sweep rendered 47 real issue threads through
`IssueChatThread`: 7 tripped the boundary before the fix, 0 after.

## Risks

- Low risk. The server change only preserves `Date` objects that the
walker destroyed before. String redaction behavior does not change, and
the registry-key stripping does not change.
- The UI change only affects the timestamp of system-notice rows and
omits it when the value is invalid.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), Anthropic. Agentic coding session
with tool use (file edits, shell, Vitest). No extended-context or
special reasoning mode.

DottaandClaude Fable 5 c2b41bb7cd fix(issues): quiet missing-disposition warnings while a live continuation is running (#10899)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - When an agent run ends without recording a disposition, Paperclip
raises a "missing disposition" handoff so the work does not silently
stall
> - The server already tracks whether such an issue has a live
continuation (a running or queued run, or a queued wake) in
`successfulRunHandoff.hasLiveContinuation`
> - But no UI surface read that flag, so an issue that an agent was
actively working on still showed the "This task still needs a next step"
banner, a loud thread warning, and "Needs next step" badges
> - This pull request makes every missing-disposition complaint respect
liveness: warn only when no live agent is on the issue and it is really
stuck
> - The benefit is that users see the warning only when action is
needed, and the noise disappears while an agent is already handling the
issue

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this bug. Description follows the
bug-report template:

**What happened?**

An issue that a live agent run was actively working on showed the
"missing disposition" warning banner, a loud thread notice, and "Needs
next step" badges at the same time. The API payload for that issue
showed `successfulRunHandoff.required: true` together with
`hasLiveContinuation: true` and a `liveRunId`, but the UI ignored the
liveness fields.

**Expected behavior**

The missing-disposition warning appears only when the issue has no live
run or queued wake. A live agent records a disposition when its run
ends. Paperclip complains only if the run ends and no disposition
exists.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Let a run finish on an in-progress issue without a disposition.
Paperclip raises the handoff and queues a corrective wake.
2. Open the issue page while the corrective run (or any new run) is
live.
3. See the banner, the badges, and the loud thread notice — all visible
while the agent works.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Current `master` (reproduced at commit 6ffe9df842).

**Deployment mode**

Self-hosted development instance.

## What Changed

- `isSuccessfulRunHandoffRequired` (ui lib) returns `false` while a live
continuation exists. This quiets the Kanban card badge and the
issues-list badge. Exception: when the only continuation is a
not-yet-promoted scheduled retry, the notice stays visible so the
**Retry now** control stays reachable.
- `IssueBlockedNotice` also checks the real-time live-run set
(`liveIssueIds`). A run that starts after the issue payload was fetched
hides the banner at once.
- `IssueChatThread` derives an effective handoff state from the live
runs it already tracks. The loud "Missing issue disposition" thread
notice folds into the quiet collapsed row while a continuation is live,
and unfolds if the run ends without a disposition.
- Server: `hydrateSuccessfulRunHandoffLiveness` now hydrates escalated
handoffs too. The blocked-inbox `missing_disposition` attention is
suppressed for escalated handoffs with a live run or wake. This matches
the existing required-state suppression.

## Verification

- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThreadSystemNotice.test.tsx
src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx` — 106 tests pass, including 6
new tests for the live/stale/scheduled-retry matrix
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/components/IssuesList.test.tsx
src/components/KanbanBoard.test.tsx src/lib` — pass
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-blocker-attention.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-list-assignee-filter-routes.test.ts
src/services/recovery/successful-run-handoff.test.ts
src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts` — pass, including new
escalated-liveness cases
- `pnpm typecheck` clean in `ui` and `server`; `node
scripts/check-token-gates.mjs` clean
- Manual check: a live issue's API payload showed `required: true` with
`hasLiveContinuation: true` and a `liveRunId` while the banner was still
on screen; with this change that state renders no complaint

## Risks

- Behavioral shift only; no schema or migration changes. All complaints
reappear as soon as the continuation stops without a disposition, so
nothing can get lost permanently.
- A queued wake counts as a live continuation. If a wake sits queued for
a long time, the warning stays hidden for that time. The blocked-inbox
path already behaved this way; the UI now matches it.
- The scheduled-retry carve-out keeps the current Retry-now workflow
intact.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), Anthropic — agentic coding session
with extended thinking and tool use (file edit, shell, test execution).

DottaandClaude Opus 5 e8ae5286eb feat(issues): explain cross-task agent writes with attribution, audit receipts, and actionable denials (#10843)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents write to tasks they do not own. They comment, they change
fields, and the control plane now permits this by default for
standard-trust agents on any task they can read
> - This makes a task thread ambiguous. A reader sees a comment from an
agent that is not the assignee, but no surface says whose authority that
write rode
> - The same gap applies to field edits. The activity stream named the
verb, but it did not show the before value, the after value, or the
reason the write was permitted
> - The remaining refusals are also opaque. An agent that hits a wall
receives a 403 with no boundary name, no actor who can act, and no
sanctioned path. One real incident spent a full detour to find the
workaround
> - This pull request adds the three surfaces that make open cross-task
writes legible: an attribution chip, a field-level audit receipt, and an
actionable denial contract shared by the API and the UI
> - The benefit is that a reader can answer "who did this, on whose
authority, and was it allowed?" on the task itself, and a blocked writer
is told what to do next

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists for this work, so the enhancement is described
here.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Cross-task agent writes are permitted, but they are not explained. A
task thread can hold comments from agents that are not the assignee, and
the activity stream can hold field changes made by those agents. Neither
surface names the responsible user behind the write. When a write is
refused, the error text does not name the boundary or the way forward.

**Subsystem affected**

Issue detail UI (comment thread and activity stream), the issue write
authorization responses in the server, and the shared copy contract that
both consume.

**Current behavior**

- An agent comment on a task the agent does not own looks the same as an
assignee comment.
- An `issue.updated` activity row states the verb only. It does not show
the field-level before and after values, the responsible user, or the
authorization reason.
- A refused write returns a short message such as an ownership error.
The message does not state which rule fired, who is able to perform the
action, or which alternative path is sanctioned.

**Proposed behavior**

- An agent comment on a task the agent does not own carries a chip that
reads "for {user}". The chip names the responsible user. Its tooltip
states that the author is not the assignee and cannot exceed that user's
permissions.
- Each `issue.updated` row shows a receipt: the changed fields with
before and after values, the responsible user, and the authorization
reason. This applies to board edits as well as agent edits.
- Each refusal states three things: the boundary that fired, who is able
to act, and the sanctioned path. The API error body and the in-app
notice use the same words, because both read one shared contract.

Related pull requests, found by searching this repository:

- Refs #10837 — merged. It added the default-open cross-task write rule,
the comment attribution data, and the per-run containment cap that this
pull request makes visible.
- Refs #10114 — open. It proposes a narrower authorization change in the
same area.
- Refs #7998 — open. It proposes append-only cross-assignee comments as
an alternative to opening writes.

## What Changed

- Adds `packages/shared/src/issue-write-denial.ts`. This is one copy
contract for eight ways an issue write can be refused: not visible,
responsible-user ceiling, responsible user unavailable, excluded actor
class, assignee run lock, per-run cross-task cap, missing run context,
and rejected attribution. Each entry names the boundary, who can act,
and the sanctioned path.
- Maps server authorization decisions onto that contract in
`server/src/routes/issues.ts` and
`server/src/services/cross-issue-influence-limit.ts`. The flattened
`error` string carries all three obligations, and `details.code` lets
the UI render the same words. The two cap codes keep the names they
already ship under.
- Adds `CommentAttributionChip`. It renders "for {user}" beside the
author name on agent comments where the author is not the assignee. It
renders nothing when no responsible user is recorded, so older rows stay
clean. It is wired into both `IssueChatThread` and the flagged
`TaskChatThread` redesign.
- Adds `IssueFieldChangeReceipt`. It renders the change receipt under
`issue.updated` rows in the activity stream. Ids resolve to agent and
user names where the directory is loaded. Server-truncated text is
labelled as a preview, so the receipt never implies that it shows a
whole value.
- Adds `IssueWriteDenialNotice`. It renders the shared copy in the app,
keyed off the denial events the server logs on a task.
- Adds a public `/ux-lab/cross-issue-collaboration` page. It renders all
three surfaces and their edge cases for review without a seeded thread.
This follows the existing `ux-lab` pages.

## Verification

Automated, all green:

```
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared exec vitest run src/issue-write-denial.test.ts        # 17 tests
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/components/IssueWriteDenialNotice.test.tsx \
  src/components/IssueFieldChangeReceipt.test.tsx src/components/CommentAttributionChip.test.tsx \
  src/lib/issue-change-receipt.test.ts src/lib/comment-attribution.test.ts                # 46 tests
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run src/__tests__/cross-issue-influence-limit.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/issue-comment-attribution-audit-routes.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts \
  src/__tests__/low-trust-red-team-routes.test.ts                                        # 98 tests
```

`tsc --noEmit` passes for the shared, ui, and server packages.

Manual, in a browser:

1. Start the UI only: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vite`.
2. Open `/ux-lab/cross-issue-collaboration`. No session is needed,
because `ux-lab` routes are public.
3. All three surfaces were captured at 1440x900 in light mode and dark
mode, and at 390x844. The page reported no errors.
4. The chip tooltip was opened by a hover and by a keyboard focus.

Rendering the page found defects that the tests had missed. Three copy
and contrast defects were fixed, and two of them are now pinned by a
test. A design review then found three layout defects, which are also
fixed: the denial notice orphaned its label when a value wrapped, the
receipt icon wrapped onto its own line at narrow widths, and the chip
tooltip was reachable by hover only.

## Risks

Low risk, and additive.

- Every new surface renders nothing when its data is absent. Comments
without a recorded responsible user show no chip, and activity events
without a receipt show no receipt, so existing rows do not change.
- No migration is included. The data these surfaces read already ships.
- The wire values of the two per-run cap denial codes are unchanged.
Only the human-readable text changes, plus six codes that had no
`details.code` before.
- The denial copy is read by agents as well as people. If wording must
change later, one shared module is the only place to change it.
- Roadmap check: this extends the completed "Activity log & action
attribution" area rather than duplicating planned core work.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-opus-5[1m]`, 1M context
window, extended thinking, with tool use and code execution. It ran as
an agent in Claude Code and drove a real browser to capture the review
screenshots.

9b9631b724 feat(ui): chat-style tasks polish — rich-text composer, attachment chips, live-turn interstitials, mobile layout (#10707)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators talk to their agents on the issue detail page. An
experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view (#10606) makes that page read as a
conversation instead of a ticket form.
> - The first release of that view shipped with a plain-text composer,
no visible narration while an agent works, and a desktop-only layout.
> - Users write formatted replies, paste screenshots, and follow long
agent runs from their phones. The experimental view should support all
of that before it can graduate.
> - This pull request is the next iteration of the same experiment: a
rich-text composer with attachments, live-turn narration on the status
line, cleaner settled-turn history, and a mobile layout.
> - The benefit is a chat view that feels alive while the agent works
and stays readable after it finishes, on desktop and mobile, still fully
behind the existing opt-in flag.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).
Refs #10606 (the merged first release of the experimental chat-style
task view; this PR iterates on it).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #8228 — open PR that polishes the classic issue chat composer. It
targets the flag-off legacy path; this PR only changes the flag-on
experimental view.
- #10466 — merged blockquote-recovery fix in the shared MarkdownEditor.
This PR now reuses that editor inside the chat composer.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The experimental "Chat-Style Tasks" view on the issue detail page
(Settings → Experimental, `enableTaskChatRedesign`, default off).

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page, chat-style task view).

**Current behavior**

With the experiment enabled, the composer is a plain textarea with no
formatting, no attachment preview, and no mention support. While an
agent runs, the status line shows only a static label, and the agent's
narration text is hidden. Finished runs render one settled row per turn,
so a run with many short turns produces a long list of near-duplicate
"Worked" rows, and turns without a comment append at the bottom out of
order. On mobile, the desktop bounded-height thread makes the page
scroll poorly.

**Proposed behavior**

The composer uses the shared MarkdownEditor: markdown formatting,
mentions, image paste with thumbnail previews, and non-image attachment
chips. Sending posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. While an agent runs, the status
line rotates playful status words and surfaces the agent's own narration
as short interstitial updates: each update holds for a minimum dwell, is
replaced only when superseded, and slides through a one-line viewport
with tokenized motion. Back-to-back settled turns coalesce into one
"Worked" row with summed durations and re-derived tool counts, and
comment-less settled turns insert chronologically at their run's start
time. On mobile, the thread renders in the document flow with window
auto-follow and a sticky safe-area composer; the desktop layout is
unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

The chat view is only convincing if it feels like a conversation with a
working agent. Rich text and screenshots are table stakes for chat
input. Live narration gives moment-to-moment feedback without opening
transcripts. Coalesced history keeps long-running tasks readable. Mobile
support lets operators follow runs away from their desks.

**Breaking changes**

None. Every change is gated behind the existing `enableTaskChatRedesign`
flag, which is off by default. The flag-off page is unchanged.

## What Changed

- `TaskChatComposer` swaps its textarea for the shared `MarkdownEditor`:
markdown formatting, mentions, image paste with object-URL thumbnail
previews (revoked on clear and unmount), and posting on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter.
- Non-image attachments render as chips on a new shared
`ui/attachment.tsx` primitive (adds the `@base-ui/react` dependency it
builds on).
- New `status-whimsy.ts`: deterministic rotation of playful status words
on the live status line.
- Live interstitial narration: the transcript adapter tags agent
self-talk, and the live status line shows it as ephemeral one-line
updates with a ~4s minimum dwell, hold-until-superseded replacement, and
a slide transition driven by new `--motion-line-scroll` tokens
(cataloged in `motion-tokens.ts`, which a test keeps 1:1 with
`index.css`). Hover affordance applies only to the status line, with no
leading icon.
- Settled-turn history: `coalesceSettledTurns` merges back-to-back
settled agent turns into one "Worked" row (summed per-run durations,
tool counts re-derived from the merged turn); `assembleThreadItems`
inserts comment-less settled turns chronologically at run start instead
of appending them at the bottom; settled turns render tool rows only
(the separate thinking block component is removed).
- The "Worked" summary attaches to the reply timestamp row, and thread
timestamps are always visible.
- Mobile layout: the thread renders with `scroll={false}` in the page
scroll, a new `useWindowAutoFollow` hook keeps the window pinned to new
content, the composer is sticky with safe-area padding, and the editor
uses 16px text so iOS does not zoom on focus. The desktop bounded chain
is untouched.
- New `TaskChatDescriptionBubble` renders the issue description as the
first chat bubble, and `McpIcon` gives MCP tools a distinct icon.
- `IssueDetail.test.tsx` stubs `TaskChatThread`: the composer's
`@mdxeditor` dependency cannot load under jsdom's CSSOM, and the suite
exercises the flag-off path.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `node scripts/check-task-chat-motion.mjs` — OK (30 files scanned,
seams present).
- `cd ui && npx tsc -b` — clean.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,482 of 3,483 tests pass locally. The
one failure is the `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row
time-formatting test, which is timezone-sensitive: it fails identically
on unmodified `origin/master` in a non-UTC timezone and passes with
`TZ=UTC`. It is not related to this change.
- Manual: enable "Chat-Style Tasks" in Settings → Experimental and open
an issue with an assigned agent. Comment to start a run: the status line
rotates status words and shows the agent's narration as short held
updates. After the run, consecutive turns fold into one "Worked" row
under the reply timestamp. Paste an image into the composer to see a
thumbnail chip; attach a non-image file to see a file chip; send with
Cmd+Enter. Open the same issue in a narrow viewport to see the
document-flow layout with the sticky composer.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The composer now loads the shared MarkdownEditor inside the chat view.
The editor is already used across the app (issue descriptions,
comments), so its behavior is well exercised; composer-specific handling
(paste, attachments, submit keys) is covered by new tests.
- The transcript adapter changes how live narration and settled turns
are derived from run logs. Malformed or legacy logs degrade to generic
rows rather than crashing, and the adapter suites cover the merge and
ordering rules.
- Object URLs for paste previews are revoked on send-clear and unmount
to avoid leaks; jsdom environments without `URL.createObjectURL` are
guarded.
- All changes are behind the default-off `enableTaskChatRedesign` flag.
Overall risk with the flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 c185e64b77 feat(ui): chat-style task view behind an experimental flag (#10606)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators spend most of their time on the issue detail page. They
talk to the assigned agent there through comments.
> - The current page reads as a ticket form. The thread sits below
properties, the composer sits mid-page, and live agent activity renders
as dense transcript logs.
> - Talking to an agent is a conversation. A chat-first layout matches
that mental model better than a ticket form.
> - A layout change this large must not disrupt current users. It needs
a safe opt-in path and full parity with the existing thread features.
> - This pull request adds a chat-style task view behind a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle. The flag is off by default and the
existing page is unchanged when it is off.
> - The benefit is a focused, readable conversation with the agent: live
tool activity folds into compact summaries, the composer stays at the
bottom, and properties, plan, and artifacts move into header tabs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #49 (chat with agents is a much-wanted feature).

Related PRs found in the dedup search:
- #4489 — an earlier, closed attempt to promote the conversation to the
primary surface on issue detail. This PR is a fresh, flag-gated take on
the same goal.
- #8837 — an open PR that proposes a two-column task layout. It
restructures the same page but keeps the ticket paradigm; this PR is
orthogonal because it is opt-in and chat-first.

**Subsystem affected**

UI (issue detail page).

**Problem or motivation**

The issue detail page presents agent conversations as a ticket:
properties first, thread below, composer in the middle of the page, and
raw transcript noise during live runs. Users who mainly converse with
their agents must scroll past chrome to follow the conversation, and
live activity is hard to read.

**Proposed solution**

An opt-in chat-style view of the issue detail page, gated by a new
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment toggle in Settings → Experimental. With
the flag on, the thread fills the center pane, the composer docks to the
bottom of the viewport, Properties / Plan / Artifacts become header
tabs, live turns show a status pill with the current tool action and
elapsed time, and settled turns collapse to a "Worked · N tools" summary
that expands into per-tool rows. With the flag off, nothing changes.

**Alternatives considered**

Restyling the existing layout in place (rejected: too disruptive without
an opt-out), and a separate chat page beside the issue page (rejected:
splits the task's single source of truth). A per-request lab page
(`/task-chat-lab`, dev-only) was kept for design iteration instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

ROADMAP.md "CEO Chat" wants lighter conversations that still resolve to
real work objects. This PR keeps the core task-and-comments model — it
only changes presentation, opt-in — so it does not duplicate that
planned work.

## What Changed

- New `enableTaskChatRedesign` instance setting, exposed as a
"Chat-Style Tasks" experiment card in Settings → Experimental (shared
feature catalog, validators, server instance-settings service, and UI
settings page).
- New `ui/src/components/task-chat/` component family: chat thread with
turn grouping, agent reply bubbles, live status pill, collapsible turn
summaries with per-tool rows, plan tab with a sticky CTA action bar,
inline interaction cards, per-request mode chips, and a bottom-docked
composer.
- A shared tool taxonomy (`tool-taxonomy.ts`) maps tool names to verbs
and icons; the status pill, tool rows, and the classic transcript view
all use it.
- A transcript adapter converts stored run logs into chat turns; it
dedupes tool-call updates by `toolUseId` so tool counts match the
expanded rows, and it keeps a tool row's first real name when later
generic updates arrive.
- Composer: posts on Cmd/Ctrl+Enter, supports image paste with
object-URL thumbnail previews (revoked on clear/unmount), and uploads
through the issue attachments route.
- `IssueDetail.tsx`: with the flag on, pane tabs move to the header bar,
the header is not sticky, and the chat fills the center; with the flag
off, the previous layout renders unchanged.
- Motion tokens for the new animations live in `ui/src/index.css` with a
`motion-tokens.ts` catalog and a test that keeps the two in sync (the
catalog now also covers the shared enter/exit/swap tokens that the
decision/quicklook block declares).
- A dev-only `/task-chat-lab` page with fixtures and a tweak panel for
motion tuning.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean across the workspace.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN.
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run` — 3,344 of 3,345 tests pass locally. The
one failure is `IssueProperties.test.tsx` monitor-row time formatting,
which is timezone-sensitive: it also fails on unmodified `origin/master`
in a non-UTC timezone and passes with `TZ=UTC`. It is not related to
this change.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts` — 21/21 pass (covers
the new setting).
- Manual: start the dev server, open Settings → Experimental, enable
"Chat-Style Tasks", and open any issue. The thread fills the page, the
composer docks to the bottom, and Properties / Plan / Artifacts appear
as header tabs. Assign an agent and comment to watch a live run: the
status pill shows the current tool action with elapsed time, and the
finished turn folds into a "Worked · N tools" summary. Disable the
toggle and confirm the classic page is unchanged.
- Visual snapshot baselines are intentionally not updated: per
`doc/design/DECISION-SHEET.md`, "Per-change snapshot verification
demoted to dormant (Jul 13 2026)".

## Risks

- The flag-off path goes through the same `IssueDetail.tsx` file, so a
regression there would affect current users. Mitigation: the classic
markup renders through the same components as before behind explicit
flag conditionals, and the full UI suite passes.
- The transcript adapter interprets stored run-log formats, including
legacy entries without `toolUseId`. Malformed logs degrade to generic
tool rows rather than crashing.
- The new view changes no server behavior other than one additive
instance setting; it is additive and default-off. Overall risk with the
flag off is low.

## Model Used

- Claude (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking enabled, agentic tool use (file editing, shell, test
execution) via Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK.

b4a7a12985 feat: make recovery updates quieter (#10542)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The recovery subsystem restores work after an agent run stops or
loses state
> - Recovery notices currently use the same visual weight as normal work
comments
> - Recovery agents can also post long narratives that obscure the
useful hand-off
> - The server must identify recovery output because agents cannot set
presentation controls
> - This pull request adds compact recovery notices, structured action
references, and brief recovery prompts
> - The benefit is a quieter issue thread that still keeps recovery
state inspectable

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, and
`packages/adapter-utils`.

**Problem or motivation**

Recovery notices and recovery-run comments can dominate an issue thread.
Operators must scan routine recovery narration before they find the work
hand-off.

**Proposed solution**

Give routine recovery output a compact system-notice presentation.
Derive the presentation on the server so agents cannot hide arbitrary
comments. Keep the successful missing-state summary fully visible
because that comment is the recovery deliverable.

**Alternatives considered**

The UI could detect recovery text. That approach is fragile and does not
provide structured action references. Agents could also set presentation
directly, but that would weaken the current board-only security
boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This change refines the completed “Self-healing runs & automatic
recovery” and “Enforced Outcomes” roadmap areas. It does not add a
competing roadmap capability.

**Additional context**

The scope covers shared comment validation, server recovery notices,
agent-comment derivation, and recovery prompt text. No database
migration is needed because presentation data already uses JSON.

## What Changed

- Add the `compact` issue-comment presentation density to shared
constants, types, and validation.
- Give recovery escalation, waiting, and in-place notices compact titles
and structured recovery-action metadata.
- Use recovery-action metadata for notice deduplication, with the legacy
text marker as a compatibility fallback.
- Derive compact presentation for comments from recovery-scoped runs
while preserving the board-only presentation boundary.
- Keep successful missing-state recovery summaries fully visible.
- Ask recovery participants to record outcomes in `resolutionNote` and
keep source-issue comments brief.
- Add shared, route, service, and prompt tests for the new behavior and
exceptions.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- Focused Vitest coverage: 320 tests passed across shared validators,
adapter prompts, issue comments, recovery actions, and heartbeat
recovery.
- Full server phase: 292 files passed, 3,094 tests passed, and 2 tests
skipped.
- Full UI phase: 386 files passed and 3,182 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`
- Known master baseline: `cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts` expects
`pass`, but the current implementation returns `warn` when strict secret
mode is disabled for Postgres. This branch does not change CLI secrets
code.

## Risks

- Low migration risk. The presentation column is JSON and needs no
database migration.
- Recovery-run detection depends on the persisted run context snapshot.
- Structured metadata becomes the primary deduplication key. The
existing body marker remains as a fallback for older comments.

> 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 with `gpt-5.6-sol`. The runtime did not expose the
context-window size. The model used agentic reasoning, repository tools,
code execution, and test execution.

f12bb27bcd feat: make issue monitors visible across task surfaces (#9783)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to supervise
AI-agent companies.
> - Operators need task execution state to be visible where they read,
reply to, and manage an issue.
> - Scheduled monitor state was easy to miss because it lived in a
description-area card and used inconsistent, mostly static time copy.
> - The task page, composer, retry card, and properties panel therefore
needed one shared monitor-state and countdown language.
> - This pull request adds shared live-ticking time utilities, moves
monitor status into a top-of-page banner and composer strip, and
redesigns the properties row with complete read-only details.
> - The benefit is that operators can immediately understand when an
agent resumes, why it is waiting, and how to act without hunting across
the page.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Issue monitors can schedule a future agent check, retry, or wake, but
the UI did not present that state consistently or prominently. The
existing description-area activity card competed with issue content, the
composer did not explain that replying wakes the agent early, compact
properties copy truncated important details, and relative times did not
share a live two-unit formatter.

This change makes scheduled monitor state visible and consistent across
the issue header, reply composer, properties panel, and scheduled-retry
card. Related prior server-side recovery visibility work: #9629
(distinct scope).

## What Changed

- Added shared two-unit monitor ETA/offset formatters and a live-ticking
countdown hook, including compact absolute-time rules for Today,
weekday, and cross-year dates.
- Replaced the description-area monitor activity card with a top-of-page
status banner and added an inline composer strip that explains replies
wake the agent before the scheduled check.
- Redesigned the properties Monitor row as readable two-line copy with
attempt state, due/overdue/cleared wording, click-to-edit behavior, and
a hover/tap details tooltip.
- Adopted the shared two-unit formatting in the scheduled-retry card and
added focused coverage for monitor formatting, state transitions,
visibility, and controls.
- Added the approved wireframe package and published reference:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/pap-14557-monitor-visibility/

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/lib/issue-monitor.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueMonitorBanner.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx` — 3 files, 74 tests passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed.
- `pnpm build` — passed with existing Vite optimization/chunk-size
warnings.
- UX review approved the rendered real components across desktop/mobile,
light/dark, and the scheduled/retrying/due/overdue/cleared/none state
matrix.
- QA passed 6/6 criteria in Chromium, including a live countdown
transition without refresh. Review evidence included the P2 banner
state-matrix screenshot and the P3 properties-row and details-tooltip
screenshots, plus a dark-mode capture.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` currently reports five pre-existing `#9627`
comment literals on `origin/master`; this branch introduces none of
those literals or any new token violation.

## Risks

- Low-to-moderate UI behavior risk: monitor copy and placement change
across several issue surfaces, but all derive from one shared state
builder and focused tests cover the state matrix.
- Countdown rendering wakes once per minute while a visible monitor is
scheduled; the hook is limited to active monitor surfaces and stops when
hidden.
- No database, API contract, migration, telemetry, or authorization
behavior changes.

DottaandClaude Opus 4.8 3e348b96b9 perf(ui): cut live-updates churn that inflates tab memory (#9624)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Its web UI keeps live views (issue threads, run transcripts,
dashboard) fresh via React Query polling plus a live-events websocket,
coordinated across tabs with a `BroadcastChannel` layer
> - Long-lived tabs viewing live agent runs grew to multi-GB memory
footprints while their JS heap stayed ~60–200 MB — so the memory is
off-heap (Blink/native + committed allocator arenas), not a classic JS
leak
> - Live profiling of a reproduced 2.7 GB / 66 MB tab showed 15–30% idle
CPU, ~3 fetches/sec across overlapping poll loops, and ~8 `setInterval`
create/clear cycles per second whose rate grew ~7× as the tab aged —
relentless allocation churn that inflates committed memory the OS never
reclaims, amplified across tabs by the cross-tab fan-out
> - This pull request cuts that churn at its four largest sources
(invalidation storm, per-instance 1 s timers, redundant polling,
unbounded streamed-run set)
> - The benefit is that idle tabs do far less periodic work, so their
off-heap footprint stops ballooning over a long session

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists; describing inline per CONTRIBUTING.md →
"Link Issues or Describe Them In-PR", following the bug report template.

**What happened?**

Browser tabs viewing live agent runs grew to 8–16 GB memory footprint
over a long session (multiple tabs open), while each tab's "live" JS
heap stayed only ~150–250 MB. Every idle tab also burned 15–30% CPU.
Tabs eventually approached the ~4 GB V8 heap ceiling / OS pressure and
could crash.

**Expected behavior**

Tabs viewing live runs should hold a bounded footprint and do minimal
work while idle, regardless of how long they stay open or how many tabs
are open.

**Steps to reproduce**

Open several issue/run tabs that have agents actively streaming and
leave them open for a while. Watch Chrome's Task Manager: Memory
Footprint climbs into the GBs while "JavaScript Memory" stays small, and
CPU stays high on idle tabs. Reproduced in ~90 minutes: a tab reached
2.7 GB footprint on a 66 MB JS heap, and the per-second timer-churn rate
was ~7× higher on a 90-minute-old tab than a fresh one.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Branch `fix/live-updates-churn`, off `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local dev (`pnpm dev`), web UI. Not adapter-specific — core UI
live-updates plumbing (observed with `claude_local` / `codex_local`
runs).

## What Changed

- **`ui/src/lib/query-invalidation-batcher.ts` (new)** —
`createInvalidationBatcher` throttles + de-dupes React Query
invalidations into one flush per ~300 ms, and
`createCoalescingQueryClient` wraps the client via a `Proxy` so only
`invalidateQueries` is batched (optimistic `setQueryData` writes stay
immediate). Wired into `LiveUpdatesProvider`, which previously
invalidated synchronously on every websocket event.
- **`ui/src/hooks/useSecondTick.ts` (new)** — one shared, ref-counted,
page-wide 1 s ticker. `useLiveElapsed` in `IssueChatThread` now uses it
instead of a per-instance `setInterval` that forced a full-thread
re-render every second per live element.
- **`ui/src/components/transcript/useLiveRunTranscripts.ts`** — when the
realtime websocket is enabled, the recurring log poll backs off to a 30
s safety-net cadence instead of polling every 2 s on top of the live
stream. Added a marker for the durable poll→push rearchitecture.
- **`ui/src/lib/issueChatTranscriptRuns.ts`** —
`resolveIssueChatTranscriptRuns` now caps the streamed run set
(live/active runs always kept; most-recent linked runs fill up to 20) so
a large run history can't open a live-transcript poll per historical
run.
- **`ui/src/main.tsx`** — explicit `gcTime` so cross-tab-published cache
entries for unobserved resources are collected promptly.
- Tests for the batcher, shared ticker, and run cap.

## Verification

- `vitest`: new suites `query-invalidation-batcher.test.ts` (batcher
collapses 20 invalidations → 1 flush; keeps distinct keys/variants;
dispose cancels; proxy passes non-invalidate methods through),
`useSecondTick.test.tsx` (single ref-counted timer, stops when idle),
`issueChatTranscriptRuns.test.ts` (cap keeps newest + live). All pass.
- Existing affected suites pass: `LiveUpdatesProvider` (23),
`IssueChatThread` (), `useLiveRunTranscripts`,
`AgentDetail.instructions` — 109 tests across affected files.
- `tsc -b` clean.
- Behavior confirmed by live profiling before the change (2.7 GB / 66 MB
tab, ~8 interval churns/sec growing 7× with age). Runtime churn
reduction should be re-measured against a rebuilt bundle with the same
instrumentation.

## Risks

Low-to-moderate; all changes reduce work rather than add features.
- **Invalidation batching** delays live-driven refetches by up to ~300
ms. Optimistic `setQueryData` writes (e.g. the visible issue's new
comment) remain immediate, so foreground updates still feel instant;
only the safety-net refetch is throttled. Non-live invalidations (user
actions, mutations) are unaffected — they use the real client.
- **Poll back-off** relies on the websocket as the live source when
realtime is enabled; a 30 s fallback poll still covers gaps/reconnects
(both the transcript hook and `LiveUpdatesProvider` also
auto-reconnect).
- **Run cap (20)** means an issue with a very large run history streams
live transcripts only for its live/active + 20 most-recent runs; older
runs still open normally via their run pages.
- Downstream test fallout (timing-sensitive tests around
invalidation/polling) may need adjustment — flagged intentionally for
follow-up.

Durable follow-up (out of scope, marked in code): replace transcript/run
polling with server push (SSE/websocket deltas) so idle tabs do no
periodic work at all.

## Model Used

- **Provider:** Anthropic, via the Claude Code CLI.
- **Model:** Claude Opus 4.8 (`claude-opus-4-8`).
- **Reasoning mode:** Extended thinking enabled.
- **Capabilities used:** tool use (shell, file editing), sub-agent
fan-out for codebase analysis, and the Chrome DevTools MCP to reproduce
and profile the memory/CPU churn on a live instance.

scotttongandClaude Fable 5 634ae1298f fix(ui): consolidate live/running blues; stop inbox unread badge indenting the row (#9383)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI leans on a shared design-token + component system so
surfaces stay visually consistent as they grow
> - Two small inconsistencies had crept in: several distinct blues were
used to signal "live/running" agent state across the sidebar, task
header, and chat thread; and in the Inbox an unread task's mark-read dot
was pushing that row's status icon and title one column right of read
rows
> - Both read as "not quite aligned" in daily use and undercut the
polish of the lists work that just landed
> - This pull request consolidates the live/running blues onto one
shared recipe and stops the unread dot from indenting the row
> - The benefit is one consistent "live" blue everywhere and Inbox rows
that line up whether read or unread

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work; describing inline per the
bug-report template.

- **Problem**: (1) the same concept — an agent actively working —
rendered in three visibly different blues: the sidebar `N live` dot, the
task-detail "Live" badge, and the chat-thread "RUNNING" badge each used
a different token/recipe. (2) In the Inbox, unread rows carry a leading
mark-read dot that occupies the chevron column, but a per-row spacer was
still rendering in that same column — so on unread rows the status icon
+ title were shifted one column (~24px) further right than read rows.
Most visible when grouped by workspace.
- **Steps to reproduce**: open the Inbox with a mix of read and unread
tasks (group by workspace). The unread rows' status icons sit further
right than the read rows'. Separately, compare the blue of the sidebar
`N live` dot, a task's "Live" header badge, and a chat "RUNNING" badge —
they don't match.
- **Expected behavior**: unread and read rows align on the same status
column, with the unread dot centered on the workspace group chevron; and
all three "live/running" affordances share one blue.

## What Changed

- Added a shared `liveBlueBadge` recipe in `ui/src/lib/status-colors.ts`
and pointed the task-detail **Live** badge (`IssueDetail.tsx`) and the
chat-thread **RUNNING** badge (`IssueChatThread.tsx`) at it; removed the
now-redundant `brandChipBadge` usage from the chat thread and a stray
`🔵` breadcrumb prefix.
- Changed the sidebar **`N live`** dot (`SidebarNavItem.tsx`) to the
same `blue-600 / dark:blue-400` as its adjacent label text.
- **Inbox** (`Inbox.tsx`): skip the per-row leading spacer when the
unread mark-read dot is present, so the dot alone fills the chevron
column. Unread rows' status icon + title now sit in the same column as
read rows, and the dot centers on the workspace group chevron.
- **Test** (`Inbox.test.tsx`): added a regression test asserting an
unread leaf row renders the mark-read dot and drops the spacer, while a
read row keeps the spacer.

## Verification

- `pnpm typecheck` — clean (all packages)
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — 3/3 CLEAN
- `cd ui && pnpm vitest run src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx` — 14/14 (includes
the new regression test)
- Full Storybook visual suite (514 stories, both themes) — green locally
(CI cannot run this suite yet — the baseline-manifest archive is
unpublished, a pre-existing condition from #9134)
- Manual (workspace-grouped Inbox, 2× dark): measured the unread badge
center at the same x as the workspace chevron (276 = 276) and the
unread-row status icon at the same x as read-row status icons (292 =
292). Before/after screenshots in a PR comment below.

## Risks

Low risk — presentation only. No data, routing, or state changes. The
blue consolidation is a token/class swap; the Inbox change removes a
redundant spacer element on unread rows only (read rows and
non-grouped/mobile views are unaffected). The unread-row behavior is
covered by the new unit test.

## Model Used

Claude (Anthropic), Opus 4.8 — model id `claude-opus-4-8`; extended
thinking + tool use, driving local verification (typecheck, token gates,
vitest, Playwright visual suite + pixel measurements).

36ec79c196 feat: add attention queue and Decisions surface (#9380)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for autonomous AI companies, where
operators need a reliable way to find and act on work awaiting their
input.
> - The attention and issue-thread interaction subsystems expose those
decision points across server APIs and the board UI.
> - The previous navigation and interaction presentation left these
actions fragmented and did not offer a controlled rollout for the
Decisions surface.
> - This branch adds the attention feed, richer interaction cards,
grouping, dismiss/snooze behavior, and a gated Decisions sidebar entry.
> - It also keeps experimental settings and API contracts synchronized,
with an idempotent migration for the new dismissal state.
> - This pull request delivers the complete, tested attention/Decisions
experience as one reviewable unit.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- Adds an operator-focused attention queue and Decisions experience:
grouped decision cards, semantic interaction actions, dismiss/snooze
handling, resilient interaction states, and an experimental flag to
control the Decisions navigation entry.


## Feature Context

### Problem or Motivation

Operators currently have to hunt across approvals, interactions, failed
runs, and budget alerts to find decisions that need their action.

### Proposed Solution

Provide a gated Decisions attention queue that groups actionable items,
supports direct resolution, and preserves operator control through
dismiss and snooze actions.

### Alternatives Considered

Keep separate, source-specific views only; this leaves cross-cutting
operator decisions fragmented and harder to prioritize.

### Roadmap Alignment

This improves the V1 control-plane operator workflow by making pending
governed actions discoverable in one company-scoped surface.

## What Changed

- Added server attention-feed services, routes, interaction handling,
dismiss/snooze support, and an idempotent `0145` inbox-dismissal
migration.
- Added shared attention, inbox-dismissal, and experimental-settings
contracts.
- Added Decisions/attention UI, interaction-card states, sidebar
badge/navigation integration, grouping, keyboard support, and Storybook
coverage.
- Added tests for attention behavior, thread interactions, settings
normalization, dismissals, and API behavior.
- Removed generated screenshots from the final PR diff and rebased the
branch onto current `master`.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/shared/src/issue-thread-interactions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/attention-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/inbox-dismissals.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interactions-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-thread-interaction-routes.test.ts
ui/src/lib/attention.test.ts
ui/src/components/AttentionQueueRow.test.tsx
ui/src/components/IssueThreadInteractionCard.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/InstanceExperimentalSettings.test.tsx` — passed: 158 tests
across 9 focused files.
- GitHub Actions for `ad636f560`: build and typecheck/release-registry
have passed; remaining general-server and Greptile checks are in
progress.

## Risks

- Moderate: this is a cross-layer attention/interaction feature with a
new migration and navigation behavior.
- The `enableDecisions` experimental setting defaults to off, limiting
rollout impact.
- Existing dismissal data is backfilled to `dismiss`; the migration is
idempotent and uses guarded constraint creation.

> ROADMAP.md was checked; no duplicate planned core feature was
identified. Related open pull requests were searched before opening this
PR.

## Model Used

- OpenAI GPT-5.5 via Codex CLI, with tool use and local code execution.
Context-window size unavailable in this environment.

DottaandPaperclip 1f07690184 fix(ui): keep issue threads from jumping to latest comment (#9354)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Issue and item detail pages use a shared issue chat thread to show
comments, runs, activity, and interactions.
> - That thread still defaulted to landing on the latest comment when
messages first loaded.
> - On long issue/item pages, that default can yank the operator away
from the top of the page before they choose to inspect the newest
message.
> - Deep links to comment hashes can create the same kind of initial
viewport jump when they are used as generic navigation targets.
> - This pull request makes initial latest-comment and initial
thread-hash scrolling opt-in instead of default behavior.
> - The benefit is stable initial page position across issue-thread
surfaces while keeping the explicit Jump to latest control available.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No exact public GitHub issue was found for this bug.

Bug description:
- What happened: opening a page with a shared issue conversation thread
could automatically move the viewport toward the newest comment/thread
target.
- Expected behavior: ordinary page loads should keep the initial
viewport stable unless the user explicitly clicks Jump to latest.
- Steps to reproduce: open an issue or item detail page with a long
conversation thread and observe whether the page jumps to the newest
thread entry on initial load.
- Paperclip version/commit: reproduced while working on the current
`master` branch lineage.
- Deployment mode: local trusted/dev UI.

Related public thread/comment UX work: Refs #3916, Refs #7972, Refs
#8800.

## What Changed

- Changed `IssueChatThread` so initial latest-comment scrolling defaults
to off.
- Added a separate opt-in for initial thread-hash scrolling, also
defaulting to off.
- Preserved stale deleted-comment hash cleanup without scrolling the
page.
- Updated regression coverage so default initial load stays put, comment
hashes do not scroll by default, and manual Jump to latest still
scrolls.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed on the clean PR
branch.
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx -t
"loads from the pending state into issue detail without changing hook
order"` passed on the clean PR branch.
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run
src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx` was attempted on the clean PR
branch, but the file fails before changed assertions with the existing
`TypeError: act is not a function` test-harness issue across 58 tests;
14 tests passed.
- Static check: no `autoScrollToLatestOnInitialLoad={true}` or
`autoScrollToHashOnInitialLoad={true}` call sites remain in `ui/src`.

## Risks

Low risk. This only changes initial scroll defaults in the shared issue
thread. The main behavioral shift is that direct comment/thread hashes
no longer auto-scroll on first load unless a caller explicitly opts in;
the Jump to latest button and post-submit scroll behavior are unchanged.

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`.

OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex coding-agent runtime; exact context window not
exposed in this environment; tool-enabled repository inspection,

5c85ae64a0 Cases: experimental first-class case object (#9198)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board currently uses issues for execution, but longer-lived
content work needs a separate object that can survive beyond a single
task thread.
> - The Cases subsystem adds an experimental, company-scoped record for
content artifacts and their supporting metadata.
> - The backend needs durable storage, API routes, revision history,
issue linkage, and company-boundary enforcement before the UI can depend
on Cases.
> - The UI needs an opt-in navigation surface, list/detail views,
reference chips, and issue-page context so operators can inspect Cases
without making them the default workflow.
> - The agent-facing skills need a contract for creating and updating
Cases so automated content workflows can dogfood the feature.
> - This pull request ships that experimental end-to-end path behind the
`enableCases` flag.
> - The benefit is a first-class place to collect content work,
references, attachments, revisions, and related execution threads
without polluting the core issue model.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this experimental feature.

Feature request fields:

### Problem

Content-oriented work such as release notes, announcements, docs, and
campaigns can span many execution issues, which makes the final artifact
hard to find and reason about after the execution thread moves on.

### Proposed solution

Add an experimental Cases object that is company-scoped, linked to
issues, queryable through the API, inspectable in the board UI, and
writable by agent workflows through documented conventions.

### Alternatives considered

Continue encoding content artifacts directly in issues or documents
only. That keeps the data model smaller, but it does not give operators
a stable artifact-centric view or a clean way to link related execution
history.

### Roadmap alignment

Checked `ROADMAP.md`; this PR does not duplicate an existing planned
core roadmap item.

## What Changed

- Added the `cases` data model, migration, schema exports, and
experimental `enableCases` instance setting.
- Added company-scoped Cases API routes for list/detail/update, issue
links, revisions, children, activity events, annotations, attachments,
and idempotent agent-oriented upserts.
- Scoped case and issue lookup helpers before access checks so
inaccessible cross-company identifiers resolve as not found rather than
leaking existence.
- Fixed case PATCH timestamp handling so non-status updates cannot
overwrite `completedAt` from a stale pre-transaction row snapshot.
- Moved Cases list type/status/project filters into the server request
before the server-side limit is applied, including multi-select filters
and no-project filtering.
- Added backend route coverage for creation, updates, idempotency, issue
linking, attribution, company-boundary enforcement, OpenAPI
registration, list filtering, timestamp patch behavior, and inaccessible
lookup regressions.
- Added the experimental Cases UI surface: sidebar entry, gated routes,
list filters/grouping, detail overview, activity, revisions, children,
attachments, and issue-page case rail.
- Added case reference rendering and company-prefixed case href
generation so case links resolve directly inside the active company
route.
- Added Paperclip skill documentation for agent workflows that create or
update Cases.
- Wired release-content skills to emit Cases for dogfooding.
- Rebased onto current `master` and renumbered the Cases migrations to
`0143`/`0144` after the latest upstream migration sequence.

## Verification

- Current PR head: `ecc13be0d`.
- Rebased on current `master` (`606aa4f266`) and pushed to the existing
PR branch.
- `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD` — passed before the first
update push; subsequent committed diffs were also checked with `git diff
--check` before commit.
- Guardrails checked: no `pnpm-lock.yaml` changes, no
`.github/workflows` changes, and changed-file count is below the
Greptile 100-file limit.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts
src/__tests__/instance-settings-service.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` — passed, 3 files / 26 tests
before review-fix commits.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts` — passed after each server-side
Greptile fix, latest 1 file / 15 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed after the
timestamp and lookup fixes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/Cases.test.tsx src/pages/CaseDetail.test.tsx
src/pages/CompanySkills.test.tsx src/App.cases-routing.test.tsx` —
passed, 4 files / 30 tests before review-fix commits.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/Cases.test.tsx` — passed after the list-filter fix, 1 file /
12 tests.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed after the
list-filter fix.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed after UI changes.
- Remote PR checks on head `ecc13be0d` are green: Paperclip CI, build,
typecheck, test matrix, e2e, Canary Dry Run, policy, commit review,
Superagent Security Scan, Socket, Snyk, and Greptile passed; Storybook
visual regression is skipped and security-review is neutral.
- Greptile Review: 5/5 confidence, zero unresolved Greptile threads.

## Risks

- Medium feature risk because this introduces a new experimental domain
object across database, server, shared contracts, skills, and UI.
- The feature is gated behind `enableCases`, which limits default
operator exposure while the model is exercised.
- Case links now prefer company-prefixed hrefs; the unprefixed redirect
remains for externally entered URLs.
- Cases list filtering now sends multi-select filters to the server
before limiting; the UI still applies the same local filters as a second
pass for ancestor/context rows.
- Migrations were renumbered on top of current master; the SQL uses
guarded `IF NOT EXISTS` / `ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS` patterns where
relevant for safer replay.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 Codex in the Paperclip local coding environment was used
for this PR curation, rebase verification, review-fix implementation,
push, and PR description update. The runtime exposes tool use and shell
execution; context-window size is not exposed by this Paperclip adapter.
Several implementation commits also include AI co-author trailers
recorded in git history.

f3ca4d24bc fix: repair dirty/foreign-branch execution worktrees (#9297)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Execution workspaces are the bridge between Paperclip's control
plane and a local agent's checked-out repository state.
> - When a workspace is restored after a failed or interrupted run, the
recorded branch can disagree with the branch currently checked out on
disk.
> - A clean branch mismatch can be reconciled safely, but a dirty
mismatch needs a lossless path that does not discard uncommitted agent
work.
> - This pull request adds a quarantine-and-restore path that saves
dirty work to a rescue branch, restores the recorded branch, and exposes
the repair from the board UI and run page.
> - The benefit is that operators can recover wedged execution
workspaces without losing work or moving another live branch
unexpectedly.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this workspace-recovery failure, so
this PR includes the bug report inline.

**What happened**

A git worktree-backed execution workspace could become wedged when
Paperclip expected one branch but found a different checked-out branch
with dirty tracked or untracked files. The existing safe repair path
refused the restore, leaving the source task blocked with no lossless
one-click recovery path.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip should preserve dirty work before restoring the recorded
workspace branch. If another live workspace claims the checked-out
branch, or an attached runtime service is active, the repair should
refuse with clear operator-facing evidence instead of risking work loss
or file contention.

**Steps to reproduce**

Create a git worktree execution workspace whose persisted branch name
differs from the checked-out branch, add dirty tracked or untracked
files in that worktree, then trigger workspace validation or use the
branch reconcile endpoint. Before this change, the dirty mismatch
remained blocked because Paperclip had no quarantine restore mode.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Observed on the pre-fix workspace-recovery implementation. Verified on
this PR head after rebasing onto current `master`.

**Deployment mode**

Local trusted development/worktree deployments using git worktree
execution workspaces and optional workspace runtime services.

## What Changed

- Added dirty-worktree quarantine repair that creates a rescue branch,
commits dirty tracked and untracked files there, restores the recorded
branch, writes audit comments/activity, and preserves the live foreign
branch ref.
- Added `quarantine_restore` branch reconcile API support,
recovery-action resolution, source-task wake behavior, execution-review
preservation, claimant refusal, runtime-service refusal, and coverage
for the non-transactional git ordering.
- Added board UI controls for the repair action in the recovery card
plus a compact failed-run workspace recovery surface that uses the same
reconcile handlers.
- Hardened Greptile follow-up cases by best-effort restoring the
recorded branch after a mid-sequence rescue commit failure and by
refusing quarantine restore while attached runtime services are active.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/execution-workspaces-service.test.ts -t
"quarantine_restore"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime.test.ts
-t "workspace dirty quarantine branch repair"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-workspace-finalize-branch.test.ts -t
"repairs clean unrecorded branch drift|adopts unrecorded forward branch
drift"`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/workspace-runtime-routes-authz.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- Earlier PR verification covered the route, service, heartbeat, UI
component, and run-page recovery surfaces; Cutter posted public preview
screenshots for the repair popover and run-page panel at
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/9297#issuecomment-4926934211.
- GitHub PR checks are green on
`dcac76b05f4cf6e1ee16544c2831d83c7857e475`.
- Greptile is 5/5 with zero annotations and no unresolved review threads
on `dcac76b05f4cf6e1ee16544c2831d83c7857e475`.

## Risks

- Moderate risk because the change intentionally runs git commands
against local worktrees; the implementation refuses dirty repair when
another claimant or active runtime service is detected and records
rescue refs for auditability.
- Compatibility / release-note callout for self-hosted operators:
existing instances that left `enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward`
unset now get automatic forward branch reconciliation during heartbeat
workspace recovery. Operators who want the previous advisory-only
behavior can set `experimental.enableWorkspaceBranchReconcileForward` to
`false`; dirty quarantine repair can likewise be disabled with
`experimental.enableWorkspaceDirtyQuarantineRepair: false`.
- If the git rescue succeeds but a later database write fails, the
worktree may already be restored while the recovery action remains open;
this ordering is documented in code because git side effects cannot
participate in the database transaction.
- UI risk is limited to the workspace recovery surfaces and covered by
component tests plus the existing Cutter visual preview.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with repository tool use,
shell execution, and local test execution. Earlier preserved commits on
this branch also show Claude Code / Claude Opus 4.8 assistance in their
commit metadata.

DottaandPaperclip 1c75a46c10 feat(ui): add waiting-on-live-work blocked notice (#9298)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators rely on the issue detail thread to understand whether a
task is blocked, live, or waiting on another task.
> - A blocked issue can have a healthy blocker chain where downstream
work is actively running and the parent will resume automatically.
> - Showing that case with the same amber blocked notice as a stalled or
attention-needed blocker makes the state look more severe than it is.
> - The UI already receives blocker-attention state, blocker summaries,
and company live-run ids, so this can be clarified without a new API
shape.
> - This pull request adds a blue "Waiting on live work" notice for
covered blocker chains while preserving the existing amber notice for
the other blocked states.
> - The benefit is that operators can distinguish healthy queued work
from blocked work that needs intervention.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #3820
Refs #8271
Related PR: #3877
Supersedes #9295

## What Changed

- Added a blue `IssueBlockedNotice` variant when
`blockerAttention.state` is `covered` and the blocker chain has live
work.
- Rendered blocker-chain progress as done, running, and queued steps,
including a "Now running" row for live terminal blockers.
- Preserved the existing amber blocked notice for stalled,
attention-needed, ordinary blocked, and successful-run handoff states.
- Plumbed the existing `liveIssueIds`, `blockedBy`, and
`blockerAttention` data from issue detail into the chat-thread blocked
notice.
- Added regression coverage around the covered live-work state, the
no-confirmed-live fallback, numeric step ordering, and amber fallback
states.
- Hardened a low-trust server route test cleanup helper so CI deletes
heartbeat run events before deleting heartbeat runs.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueBlockedNotice.test.tsx`
- GitHub PR workflow is green on head
`52ab6d9076ce233c183bf7133fa666e8597b6765`.
- Greptile check is green on head
`52ab6d9076ce233c183bf7133fa666e8597b6765` with zero unresolved review
threads.

## Risks

Low runtime risk: the product change is frontend-only and uses data
already returned to the issue detail page. The main risk is visual
regression in the blocked notice; the change keeps non-covered states on
the existing amber path and adds focused regression coverage. The
server-side change is test-only cleanup for an existing CI shard
failure.

discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex using GPT-5, tool-use enabled in a repository workspace.
The runtime did not expose a more specific model build id or
context-window size.

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.

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.

696c694a58 feat(ui): recovery-card divergence diagnosis + one-click isolated re-issue
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents execute on isolated workspaces (git worktrees), each pinned
to a specific branch and commit at checkout time
> - When an agent's live checkout diverges from the recorded workspace
branch — either through a branch rename, a stale worktree, or a
concurrent git operation — Paperclip detects the mismatch and surfaces a
recovery card to the operator
> - But the existing recovery card showed a generic error with no
diagnostic context: it didn't display *which* branch was expected vs.
which was checked out, the commit SHAs involved, or whether the branches
share ancestry
> - Without that information operators cannot diagnose the root cause,
and the only recovery path was fully manual re-issue
> - This pull request extends `IssueRecoveryActionCard` for
`workspace_validation` / `git_worktree_branch_incoherence` recovery
kinds to render a divergence-diagnosis panel (expected branch, live
branch, short SHAs, ancestry-verdict badge, plain-language reason) and
adds a confirm-gated "Re-issue on isolated workspace" action that
creates a new task with `executionWorkspacePreference:
isolated_workspace` so the re-issued run cannot trip the same
branch-mismatch gate
> - The benefit is that operators can immediately see *why* a workspace
was declined and recover with a single click instead of having to
manually reconstruct the task

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #4757 (heartbeat re-wake doesn't reconcile working-tree HEAD
against ticket's expected branch — this PR surfaces the resulting
divergence to the operator and provides a one-click isolated re-issue
path)
Refs #8460 (workspace_validation_failed local-only project workspaces —
this PR extends the recovery card UI for this case)

**Subsystem affected:** ui/ — React + Vite board UI

**Problem or motivation:** When Paperclip records a workspace branch for
an agent run and the live checkout disagrees (diverged HEAD, renamed
branch, stale worktree), the issue recovery card surfaces a generic
`workspace_validation` error. The operator sees "run declined" but has
no visibility into the expected vs. actual branch, the relevant commit
SHAs, or whether the branches even share ancestry. There is no one-click
path to re-issue the task on a clean isolated workspace — the operator
must manually reconstruct the task from scratch.

**Proposed solution:** Extend `IssueRecoveryActionCard` to:
1. Render a divergence-diagnosis panel from the `recoveryEvidence`
field: expected branch, live branch, short SHAs for both, an
ancestry-verdict badge (`forward-only` / `diverged` / `ancestry
unknown`), and the server's `plainLanguageReason`.
2. Add Action 3 "Re-issue on isolated workspace" — a confirm-gated
button that calls `issuesApi.create` with `executionWorkspacePreference:
isolated_workspace` and `workspaceStrategy.baseRef` set to the live
branch (SHA fallback when detached). The current workspace is never
mutated.
3. Wire `onReissueIsolated` / `reissuePending` through `IssueChatThread`
→ `IssueDetail` so the operator sees an immediate success toast and is
navigated to the new task.

**Alternatives considered:** Showing divergence details only in a
tooltip (rejected — too easy to miss). Providing a "force-reset the
workspace" action (rejected — destructive, no audit trail, doesn't fix
stale-branch root cause). Isolated re-issue via isolated workspace was
the clearest safe path.

## What Changed

- `IssueRecoveryActionCard.tsx` — Added `DiagnosisPanel` sub-component
rendered for `workspace_validation` / `git_worktree_branch_incoherence`
recovery kinds: displays expected vs. live branch, short SHAs,
ancestry-verdict badge, and plain-language reason. Added Action 3
confirm-popover with `onReissueIsolated` callback and `reissuePending`
loading state. Kept existing Action 1 and Action 2 unchanged.
- `IssueChatThread.tsx` — Threaded `onReissueIsolated` and
`reissuePending` props down to `IssueRecoveryActionCard`.
- `IssueDetail.tsx` — Implemented `handleReissueIsolated`: calls
`issuesApi.create` with `executionWorkspacePreference:
isolated_workspace` + `workspaceStrategy.baseRef` derived from live
branch / SHA; shows a success toast and navigates to the new task on
completion.
- `IssueRecoveryActionCard.test.tsx` — Added 19 unit tests covering
diagnosis-panel rendering, verdict label rendering, base-ref derivation
(branch-first then detached-HEAD SHA fallback), and action gating.

## Verification

```bash
# Unit tests — 19/19 pass
pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/IssueRecoveryActionCard.test.tsx

# Typecheck — 0 new errors
pnpm typecheck
```

Manual browser validation deferred to QA — see Risks.

## Risks

- **Re-issue creates a new task** — the original task remains unchanged.
This is intentional (safe default), but operators should be aware both
tasks exist after re-issue.
- **Base-ref derivation falls back to the live HEAD SHA when detached.**
SHA-based worktrees are valid for isolated re-issue but may surprise
operators expecting a branch name.
- **Browser-level end-to-end validation not included here.** Toast,
navigation, and full create-flow are covered by integration QA in a
follow-up pass.
- **Low overall risk** — no new endpoints, no data mutations on existing
records, no PII or telemetry changes. Composes the existing
`issuesApi.create` endpoint; all new behavior is additive.

## Model Used

window, tool use, code execution. Extended thinking not used.

ad961227f5 feat(secrets): add user-specific runtime secrets (#8825)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs often need provider credentials, API tokens, and other
environment-bound secrets.
> - Company-level secrets work for shared credentials, but they do not
model values that should differ by human operator.
> - Without a user-scoped model, a run can dispatch without knowing
whether the responsible human has supplied the needed value.
> - Paperclip also needs run attribution to make those user-scoped
runtime checks deterministic and auditable.
> - This pull request adds user-specific secret definitions, per-user
values, environment bindings, responsible-user attribution, and runtime
resolution gates.
> - The benefit is that teams can define the secret once, let each user
provide their own value, and block runs before dispatch when required
user secrets or active definitions are unavailable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #224
Refs #6057

This PR implements user-specific secret support as a core
secret-management capability rather than a one-off adapter setting. It
is related to existing public work on company secrets UI and runtime
secret refs, but is distinct because the value is owned by the
responsible user and resolved at run dispatch time.

Related PR search before opening found existing secrets work such as
#1550, #8256, #8614, #8634, and #8647; none of those add the full
user-secret definition/value/runtime gate covered here.

## What Changed

- Added user-secret definitions and per-user "My secrets" values,
keeping stored values out of access metadata.
- Added `user_secret_ref` environment bindings and UI affordances to
pick them alongside existing secret refs.
- Added responsible-user runtime resolution so user-secret refs resolve
against the human responsible for the run.
- Added pre-dispatch missing-secret gates so runs fail before adapter
dispatch when required user values are absent or definitions are
inactive.
- Added low-trust allowlist hardening for user-secret runtime access.
- Added issue, routine, run, and agent API key responsible-user
attribution and fail-closed dispatch behavior when attribution cannot be
resolved.
- Added denial-copy mapping so responsible-user authorization failures
surface as actionable run outcomes instead of opaque setup failures.
- Added OpenAPI documentation for the user-secret routes.
- Rebases cleanly on current `master`; migrations were renumbered
incrementally as `0128_user_specific_secrets`,
`0129_agent_api_key_responsible_user`, and
`0130_run_responsible_user_invariant` after upstream `0126`/`0127`
migrations.
- Removed previously committed local design screenshots so the PR
contains code/docs/tests only.

## Verification

- PASS: PR head `2527febd106bcf3ca264ca0da7fca491084192d6` is based on
`paperclipai/paperclip:master`.

`2527febd106bcf3ca264ca0da7fca491084192d6` with Confidence Score 5/5,

threads.

## Risks

- Runtime behavior now depends on a run having a correct responsible
user; missing or incorrect responsibility assignment can block runs
before adapter dispatch.
- `user_secret_ref` bindings intentionally expose metadata without
values, but UI/API callers may need to handle the new binding kind
explicitly.
- External secret providers and IAM policies are not automatically
provisioned by this PR; operators still need to configure provider-side
access for non-local vaults.
- The PR is broad across db/shared/server/UI/runtime paths, so release
validation should include both API and UI secret workflows before merge.
- The migration renumbering is intentionally incremental after upstream
migrations; the branch migrations use guarded
column/table/index/constraint creation so users who tested the older
draft numbering should not hit duplicate DDL for the existing objects.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip c48feee190 Improve live agent feedback during sandboxed runs (#8915)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A core part of that experience is watching active agent runs without
dropping into raw logs first
> - Local and sandbox-backed adapters already record useful run output,
progress, and tool activity
> - But active issue threads could sit visually stale while the agent
was syncing workspaces, tailing sandbox output, or emitting incremental
tool-call updates
> - Operators need timely, human-readable progress while preserving the
raw transcript underneath
> - This pull request streams sandbox run-log progress into runtime
status, keeps visible issue threads refreshed, and folds repeated ACPX
tool updates into stable transcript cards
> - The benefit is that long-running agent work becomes easier to
supervise without changing the task/comment control-plane model

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this exact change.

Problem/motivation:

- During long-running sandboxed agent work, the issue UI can appear idle
even though the agent is actively syncing, running tools, or producing
incremental output.
- Operators need realtime feedback at the issue-thread layer, not only
after opening raw logs or waiting for the final heartbeat result.
- Related public context: #1808 previously added live-run status dots to
Projects; #4362 touches heartbeat wakeup behavior but is not a duplicate
of this runtime/UI feedback change.

## What Changed

- Added sandbox run-log streaming support and defaulted sandbox-capable
local adapters into the richer live-feedback path.
- Surfaced environment/sandbox sync progress through heartbeat runtime
status with bounded, redacted snippets.
- Added live issue-thread cache patching so visible active runs update
as progress events arrive.
- Folded repeated ACPX `tool_call` updates into one transcript card
instead of stacking duplicate cards.
- Updated adapter docs and added focused regression coverage for sandbox
log streaming, runtime status, ACPX parsing, live updates, transcript
rendering, and issue chat messages.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/context/LiveUpdatesProvider.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/heartbeat-run-runtime-status.test.ts

- GitHub PR workflow on head `8397953e7b41ccd42e5d9457ee7e4dfb996e4ec5`:
`verify`, build, typecheck/release-registry, e2e, general shards,
serialized server shards, and canary dry run passed.
- Greptile Review on head `8397953e7b41ccd42e5d9457ee7e4dfb996e4ec5`:
Confidence Score 5/5, no unresolved review threads.

## Risks

- Live issue-thread cache patching could miss an edge case for a route
shape not covered by tests.
- Surfacing active-run snippets needs continued care around redaction;
this PR keeps snippets bounded and adds redaction-focused coverage.
- More frequent active-run UI refreshes could expose performance issues
on very large issue threads, though updates are scoped to visible
run/query caches.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-5 via Codex, operating as a tool-enabled coding agent with
shell, git, and repository-editing capabilities. Context window size is
not exposed in this runtime.

Aron Prins 4a2447da3c [codex] Fix markdown contrast on accent bubbles (#8689)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The issue/task chat subsystem renders board and agent comments as
markdown inside chat bubbles.
> - Human board comments use a saturated blue bubble so the message can
be distinguished from agent output.
> - The shared `.paperclip-markdown` rule forced `var(--foreground)` for
body text and related markdown elements.
> - On the blue bubble, that foreground color is too dark, so
paragraphs, lists, links, and emphasis lose contrast.
> - This pull request adds an explicit on-accent markdown treatment for
blue/current-user message bubbles.
> - The benefit is readable markdown without changing neutral markdown
surfaces elsewhere in the app.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #8688

## What Changed

- Added a `paperclip-markdown-on-accent` class for markdown rendered on
accent-colored message bubbles.
- Updated current-user issue chat messages to use the accent-safe
markdown class.
- Added CSS overrides for body text, list markers, headings, emphasis,
links, blockquotes, and inline code on accent backgrounds.
- Added a regression test proving current-user blue-bubble markdown
receives the accent-safe class.

## Risks

Low risk. The new color treatment is opt-in and only applied to
current-user issue chat markdown on accent bubbles. Neutral comment,
document, artifact, and skill markdown surfaces keep the existing
`.paperclip-markdown` colors.

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The pipeline subsystem models repeatable work as items moving
through stages, with agent automation, review gates, blockers, drift
notices, and linked work.
> - Operators need this to be usable as one coherent workflow surface,
not just as backend primitives or disconnected route experiments.
> - The branch now carries the pipeline data model, service/routes,
CLI/tutorial path, aggregation feeds, operator UI, stage automation
controls, liveness/retry handling, and follow-up polish that make the
primitive reviewable end to end.
> - This pull request is the single review target for that pipeline
workflow primitive stack.
> - The benefit is that reviewers can evaluate the full operator
experience and server contract together against `master`.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this work. The underlying feature
request is described inline.

### Problem or motivation

Paperclip needs a first-class way to model multi-stage agent/company
workflows where upstream items can spawn downstream work, request
review, carry fields across pipelines, surface drift, retry automation,
and show operators where work is blocked or active. Without a unified
pipeline primitive, these workflows spread across ad hoc issues,
routines, and comments, making the state hard to inspect or operate.

### Proposed solution

Add the pipeline workflow primitive stack: database schema and
migrations, shared validators/types, server services and REST routes,
aggregation and liveness helpers, CLI/tutorial smoke support, and the
React operator UI for pipeline lists, boards, item detail,
review/learnings views, settings, stage automation, secrets, carry-over
fields, and retry/recovery flows.

### Alternatives considered

- Keep workflows as loosely linked issues and routines: rejected because
operators need a single board/detail/settings surface for repeated
workflow patterns.
- Ship backend primitives first and defer UI: rejected for this branch
because the operator experience is the main way to validate the
primitive.
- Add a narrower one-off content workflow: rejected because the same
primitives are useful across future company processes.

## What Changed

- Added and evolved pipeline schema, migrations, shared contracts,
server services, REST routes, route tests, and CLI/tutorial smoke
support.
- Added pipeline aggregation, health/liveness, drift acknowledgment,
blocker/carry-over, automation retry, stage automation environment, and
permission recovery behavior.
- Added the operator UI for pipeline index/board/item
detail/settings/review/learnings flows, including stage secrets,
automation controls, markdown/item descriptions, linked issue assets,
liveness banners, and source automation metadata.
- Refactored issue document frame rendering through the shared
`DocumentFrameHeader` component to keep document controls consistent
with the pipeline document surfaces.
- Kept this PR as the single base-branch review target for the current
pipeline branch.

## Verification

Current branch refresh:

- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/pipelines-service.test.ts` — 31
passed
- `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/pipelines-routes.test.ts` — 19
passed
- `pnpm --filter ./server typecheck` — passed
- `pnpm --filter ./ui typecheck` — passed
- Verified Pipelines remains gated by `enablePipelines === true`:
sidebar item is hidden unless the flag is enabled, direct pipeline
routes redirect to `/dashboard` when disabled, and the Experimental
settings UI still has no Pipelines toggle.
- GitHub status checks on `df071c710646de625131064c3fb6588b5e97964a` —
all complete with no failing conclusions, including Actions, Socket,
Superagent/Security, and Greptile Review
- Greptile summary on `df071c710646de625131064c3fb6588b5e97964a` —
Confidence Score 5/5
- GitHub review-thread sweep — 0 unresolved Greptile threads

Previously recorded during branch development:

- Server pipeline service/route and aggregation tests
- Shared validator tests
- UI pipeline page/settings/item-detail/learnings/liveness tests
- Pipeline tutorial smoke path

## Risks

- High review surface: this is a large feature branch spanning database,
shared contracts, server behavior, CLI/docs, and UI.
- Migration ordering and schema compatibility need reviewer attention
because this branch has been kept current across multiple `master`
syncs.
- GitHub still reports merge state `BLOCKED` because the PR is awaiting
normal human review/branch-protection completion; all current status
checks are green.
- Branch-name checklist exception: this PR uses the pre-existing
requested branch name, which predates the current public-branch naming
rule. The PR title/body avoid internal issue references.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex coding agent based on GPT-5, with repository tool use,
shell execution, git/GitHub CLI operations, and local verification
commands. Earlier commits in this branch were assisted by Paperclip
agents and other AI coding agents as recorded in commit authorship.

DottaandPaperclip 8e21e31a1a Fix UI detail regressions (#8613)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The board UI needs to render issue details, comments, properties,
and rich external object labels clearly during normal operator
workflows.
> - Three small UI regressions made those workflows harder to scan: rich
object URLs could show weak labels, interrupting comments could briefly
flash in the wrong state, and watchdog labels could overflow the
properties panel.
> - These are related quality fixes in the same UI surface, with focused
regression coverage for each behavior.
> - This pull request groups the fixes so they go through normal review
instead of bypassing CI.
> - The benefit is a quieter, more predictable issue detail experience
for board operators.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue was found for these regressions after searching
related PRs and issues.

### Pre-submission checklist

- Existing open and closed GitHub issues and PRs were searched for
duplicates.
- The fixes are based on current `master` behavior.
- The regressions originate in Paperclip board UI code, not an adapter,
API provider, or local configuration.

### What happened?

In the board UI, three issue-detail regressions made normal review
workflows harder to scan:

- URL-rich external objects could fall back to a weak generic label
instead of showing a useful URL label.
- An interrupting issue comment could briefly flash through the wrong
state while issue run data refreshed.
- Long watchdog property instructions could truncate or overflow instead
of wrapping inside the properties panel.

### Expected behavior

- URL-rich external objects should surface a clear URL label.
- Interrupting comments should stay visually stable while live run state
refreshes.
- Long watchdog property values should wrap within the available
properties panel width.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Open an issue detail view that includes URL-rich external object
metadata, an interrupting run/comment state, or long watchdog
instructions.
2. Observe the rendered issue detail thread and properties panel.
3. Compare the rendered label, comment state, and watchdog row wrapping
against the expected stable/readable behavior above.

### Paperclip version or commit

Current `master`, fixed by this PR branch at
`1c763001c9a16fa6cf3faad6f58a83c4b202c928`.

### Deployment mode

Local dev (`pnpm dev`) / board UI.

### Installation method

Built from source (`pnpm dev` / `pnpm build`).

### Agent adapter(s) involved

Not adapter-specific (core board UI bug).

### Database mode

Not database-related.

### Access context

Board operator UI.

### Relevant logs or output

Not applicable.

### Relevant config

Not applicable.

### Additional context

The PR includes focused regression tests for all three behaviors.
Browser-visible before/after evidence for the watchdog wrapping change
was posted in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/8613#issuecomment-4794863305.

### Privacy checklist

- All pasted output was reviewed for sensitive data; this PR body
contains no private config, logs, or internal instance links.

## What Changed

- Prefer direct URLs as rich object labels when rendering external
object metadata.
- Keep interrupting issue comments from flashing through the wrong
thread state while issue chat data is refreshing.
- Allow watchdog property labels to wrap cleanly inside the issue
properties panel.
- Added focused regression coverage for the external object helper,
issue detail interrupt behavior, and watchdog property wrapping.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/lib/external-objects.test.ts
ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.test.ts
ui/src/components/IssueProperties.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx`

## Risks

Low risk. The changes are scoped to UI rendering/state handling and add
regression coverage for the touched behavior. No database, API,
workflow, lockfile, or migration changes are included.

DottaandPaperclip 841742fc1a [codex] Graduate experimental conference room defaults (#8628)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The board UI has been graduating experimental conference-room task
experiences into the default issue and onboarding flows
> - Several task UI improvements were still coupled to the Conference
Room Chat experimental flag even though they are useful outside chat
itself
> - That coupling meant disabling chat also reverted unrelated defaults
such as work-mode labels, task status colors, team creation copy, and
the graduated issue thread
> - This pull request keeps chat-specific gating scoped to chat while
making the graduated task UI the default experience
> - The benefit is that operators can use the newer task workflows
without needing to enable the separate chat experiment

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this exact change.

### Problem or motivation

The Conference Room Chat experimental flag was controlling unrelated
task UI defaults, which made non-chat workflows regress when chat was
disabled.

### Proposed solution

Remove that flag from task-thread, work-mode, onboarding, status, and
team-creation presentation paths while leaving chat-specific behavior
separately gated.

### Alternatives considered

Keeping the flag as a broad umbrella until chat graduates would avoid a
behavior change, but it keeps unrelated UI improvements hidden behind
the wrong capability switch.

### Roadmap alignment

Checked `ROADMAP.md`; this is focused graduation/polish for existing UI
surfaces rather than a new roadmap-level core feature.

Related search:

- Searched open PRs and issues for `conference room chat experimental
flag`: no matches.
- Searched open PRs and issues for `graduated issue thread`: no matches.

## What Changed

- Removes Conference Room Chat flag branching from task-thread
rendering, work-mode labels, task status colors, and team creation copy.
- Makes the onboarding completion path create/reuse an onboarding
project, create the first assigned task, and send the user to the
dashboard instead of chat.
- Deletes the legacy onboarding wizard and classic task-thread files now
that the graduated flow is the default.
- Updates focused UI tests and affected E2E specs for the default task
experience.
- Adds a user-visible onboarding error if restored state is missing the
company or agent required for launch.

## Verification

- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && pnpm exec vitest run
ui/src/components/NewIssueDialog.test.tsx
ui/src/components/OnboardingWizardVariant.test.tsx
ui/src/components/RunChatSurface.test.tsx
ui/src/components/SidebarCompanyMenu.test.tsx
ui/src/components/StatusBadge.test.tsx ui/src/lib/agent-order.test.ts
ui/src/lib/onboarding-launch.test.ts ui/src/lib/work-mode-meta.test.ts
ui/src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `npx playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts --list
tests/e2e/conference-room-typing-intro.spec.ts
tests/e2e/planning-mode-visual-verification.spec.ts`
- Attempted targeted Playwright execution locally, but this host is
missing Chromium system libraries (`libatk1.0-0t64`, `libatspi2.0-0t64`,
`libxcomposite1`, `libxdamage1`, `libxfixes3`, `libxrandr2`, `libgbm1`,
`libasound2t64`). CI runs the specs in the proper Actions environment.

## Risks

- Medium UI behavior risk: this intentionally changes the default
experience for users who have not enabled Conference Room Chat.
- Medium onboarding risk: completion now creates/reuses a project and
creates the first task instead of only navigating.
- Low migration risk: no database schema or migration changes are
included.
- The PR avoids `pnpm-lock.yaml` and `.github/workflows` changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-class coding model, tool-enabled local repository
workflow with shell, git, and test execution.
