DottaandPaperclip d9bcf4dfe8 fix(auth): let Cloud stack admins manage experimental settings (#16907)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People use experimental settings to opt into product features.
> - Cloud stack Admins can manage their company, but cannot save an
experiment.
> - Requiring an Owner role adds unrelated privileges to this workflow.
> - This pull request gives trusted Cloud stack Admins permission to
update experiments.
> - Other instance administration and platform settings keep their
existing checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A person with the Cloud stack Admin role receives “Instance admin access
required” when they enable an experimental setting, such as Fast
responses.

**Expected behavior**

Cloud stack Admins can save editable experimental settings. This
permission does not grant general instance-admin authority. Members,
Support users, and agents cannot change experiments. Cloud-managed and
operator-hidden settings remain protected.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Sign into a Cloud staging workspace as a stack Admin.
2. Open Settings → Experimental.
3. Enable Experimental fast responses.
4. Observe the permission error instead of a saved setting.

**Additional context**

Related: #10343 introduced computed Owner elevation. #15748 added Fast
responses and the company Connections settings page. The roadmap and
existing PRs were checked. This is a small authorization fix for the
existing settings path.

## What Changed

- Derive experiment-management authority from the current trusted Cloud
stack Admin role on each request.
- Apply that authority only to the experimental settings PATCH route.
Keep general settings, environment defaults, and task drain restricted
to instance admins.
- Preserve existing hidden-setting checks, managed feature restrictions,
and activity records.
- Add role and role-downgrade regressions, allowed and denied route
cases, staging coverage, and updated OpenAPI and access documentation.

## Verification

- Before the fix, the Admin fast-response request returned 403 and the
new role assertions failed. The first sandboxed HTTP run could not bind
local sockets; the regression run outside that sandbox reached the
expected authorization failures.
- Focused Cloud actor, settings route, managed-overlay, and health
tests: 149 passed.
- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` and `git diff --check` pass.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass.
- Greptile reviewed commit `7c33b90066121f03183579d2fae2650755e025e4` at
5/5. Its one style finding is fixed and resolved.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` did not pass. It reported two early
collection failures before workspace build outputs were ready and a
15-second timeout in the unchanged AgentMail recovery test. The run was
stopped after those failures while the full CI suite continued. No full
local-suite pass is claimed.
- The first current-head CI attempt failed the unchanged Runner test
“preserves a real listening process and its marker when a health RPC
times out” with `runner_remote_process_identity_unavailable` /
`process_identity_changed`. The test passes in a local isolated run.
This recovery does not establish the CI failure's cause. [Failed
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39332989655/job/118336142261).
The failed shard passed on its single rerun. The failure cause remains
unconfirmed. All CI checks on commit
`7c33b90066121f03183579d2fae2650755e025e4` are now green. [Final CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39332989655).
- No deployed staging behavior is claimed. Manual acceptance after
deployment: as a stack Admin, enable Fast responses, reload, and confirm
Connections appears. Confirm Members and Support users still cannot save
experiments.

## Risks

- This intentionally extends experimental settings write access to Cloud
stack Admins. It does not persist an instance-admin role or expand other
instance controls.
- Production retains its existing managed feature policy. Staging
retains its editable experiment allowlist and protected execution and
owner-elevation settings.
- No database migration or UI change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser inspection. The runtime does not expose an exact
model snapshot or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 7d9b93aee2 docs: establish paired feature and agent access maps (#16025)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Contributors use the feature map to understand and verify product
capabilities.
> - Agents need APIs and usable entry points within their permission
boundaries.
> - Product recipes and agent access need separate records with shared
capability IDs.
> - This pull request establishes that contract and gives maintenance
ownership of both maps.
> - The benefit is repeatable access review without changing product
behavior or permissions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #15983, which added the portable verification skills and updated
the feature map. This is its contract-only follow-up. Related: #15288
added the original feature map.

**Issue type**

Missing documentation and maintenance contract.

**Where is the issue?**

The product map, its missing agent access companions, and the
verification skills.

**What's wrong?**

There is no shared convention for API presence, agent entry points,
permission boundaries, access gaps, or evidence. An API declaration does
not prove that a permitted native or remote agent can use it.

**Suggested fix**

Keep the product and agent access maps as siblings under `maps/`. Reuse
capability IDs. Record representative source inventory separately from
operation review and live proof. Keep both maps aligned through the
maintenance skill.

## What Changed

- Move the existing product map to `maps/feature-map/`. Preserve its
recipes and Poteto format. Update relative links and add companion
links.
- Add `maps/agent-access-map/` with 35 area files and 171 matching
capability IDs. Seed representative API operations, agent paths,
policies and known gaps from the reviewed source inventory. Mark entries
as `baseline`, `source-only`, and live verification `not-run`.
- Define the shared contract in `maps/README.md`. Track API presence,
agent availability, policy, evidence and review depth separately.
Require operation enumeration before marking a broad capability
operation-reviewed.
- Extend `maintain-verification-skill` to reconcile both maps and
inspect actual route policy and production tool admission. Update
creation, verification, notices and contributor references to use the
shared contract.
- Add `scripts/check-maps.mjs` and ten regression tests. Check matching
areas/IDs, indexes, references, contract fields, API method/path
examples, justified exceptions and evidence-state consistency.
- Keep the coverage inventory unchanged. Preserve skill invocation
policies and both MIT license blocks. No product API, permission, UI,
runtime helper, migration, dependency or workflow changes.

## Verification

- Passed: `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` reports 35 paired areas and 171
matching capability IDs. All local map references resolve.
- Passed: `node --test scripts/check-maps.test.mjs` runs ten tests.
Fixtures cover missing companions, renamed/orphan/duplicate IDs, broken
references, missing operation fields, empty exceptions, missing API
examples, empty policy fields, and verified evidence without passed
verification.
- Passed: metadata validation for all three verification skills. Skill
and contributor links resolve. Invocation policies and both license
blocks are unchanged.
- Compared relocated recipes with current master. Contents differ only
in relative links and companion links. `coverage.json` is byte-for-byte
unchanged. Master's updated read-only interaction test reference is
retained.
- Passed: `git diff --check`. The branch starts from current master and
contains only this contract change.
- Repository-wide typecheck, tests and build were not run locally for
this documentation and Node structural-check scope. Live agent access
was not exercised. Those gaps are explicit in the baseline entries; the
structural check does not certify behavior. CI and automated review are
pending.

## Risks

- The companions are representative source baselines. They are not
complete operation inventories or passed agent journeys.
- The checker cannot establish actual permissions, native tool
admission, operation completeness or truthful live evidence. Maintenance
must inspect source and verify with the actual permitted agent context.
- External links to the old product-map directory may need updates.
Repository references have been updated.
- Existing access gaps and board/user restrictions remain recorded. This
contract does not change authority or implement missing paths.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted with this change. The session does
not expose the exact serving model ID, configured context-window size,
or reasoning setting. Capabilities used: source analysis, file edits,
shell commands, and structural regression tests.
