Devin FoleyandPaperclip 5ee9e751fb fix(runner): discover assigned tools when direct catalogs exceed limits (#14218)
Keep assigned app tools accessible when the combined Runner catalog exceeds
its operation or byte limits. Reserve task and completion tools, then expose
bounded discovery and call tools for large catalogs. Fetch oversized schemas
in reauthorized chunks without blocking later search results.

Retain task ownership, work-mode restrictions, pinned assignments, current
gateway authorization, approvals, and audit. Small catalogs stay direct.

Validation: 46 focused server tests, two Runner capacity tests, local
typecheck/build, 52 passing CI checks, and Greptile 5/5 with no open findings.

DottaandPaperclip f2ed0b65c4 fix(runner): enable API tools by default (#14186)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner exposes tools for company tasks.
> - API search and call tools cover operations without a dedicated tool.
> - The current default hides these tools unless an operator sets an
environment variable.
> - This pull request enables the tools when that variable is absent.
> - Operators can still disable the tools or restrict them to selected
companies.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13003, which added the guarded API tools.

**What happened?**
The native runner does not advertise `search_api` or `call_api` with the
default server configuration.

**Expected behavior**
The tools are available without a special environment variable. Existing
authorization checks still apply.

**Steps to reproduce**
Remove `PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_API_TOOLS_ENABLED` and
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_API_TOOLS_COMPANY_IDS`. Create a normal runner
authority. Inspect its tool definitions.

**Paperclip version or commit**
a6c4e7a.

## What Changed

- Enable API tools when the server flag is absent.
- Keep explicit disable, invalid-value rejection, company restrictions,
and binding restrictions.
- Test default tool definitions and run HTTP integration tests without
the enabling flag.
- Update operator and hiring documentation. The existing shared gate
also controls `hire_agent`.
- Use the same policy in the E2E evidence summary so an unset flag is
not reported as disabled.
- Isolate default-availability tests from operator environment
variables.

## Verification

- Red test: two new rollout policy assertions failed before the fix.
- Focused policy, authority, and HTTP tests: 3 files passed; 41 tests
passed, 2 skipped. The two runnerd transport cases require a Rust-built
binary absent from this workspace.
- Command: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/runner-api-rollout.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/paperclip-runner-tool-authority.test.ts
server/src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.integration.test.ts`.
- Attempted `pnpm -r typecheck`: blocked by missing `cargo` in this
workspace.
- Attempted `pnpm build`: terminated at the 4 GiB memory limit.
- Attempted `pnpm test:run`: stopped after memory pressure to run
focused tests alone.
- Repeated the 41 passing focused tests with an inherited disabled flag
and a foreign-company restriction; test isolation passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 44 files and 543 tests passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` exceeded the workspace memory limit,
including a retry with bounded Go memory settings.
- CI results will be recorded before handoff.

## Risks

- More native runs can discover API tools and the existing `hire_agent`
tool by default.
- The change does not remove company, run, mode, credential, lifecycle,
or approval checks.
- Explicit operator restrictions still take precedence. No database
migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex agent. The runtime does not expose the exact model ID or
context-window size. Used reasoning, repository tools, shell execution,
and tests.

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.

DottaandPaperclip aa8fc86331 feat(connections): prefer native apps and ask users to choose external providers (#13941)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections give agents governed access to external services.
> - Native connections should remain the first choice for a supported
app.
> - Other apps may be available through an external MCP provider.
> - The user must know which external provider handles the connection
and choose it before setup.
> - This pull request adds ranked alternatives and server-authored
instructions to connection search.
> - Agents can follow the returned instructions while Paperclip
validates saved choices and access.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13879, which fixed inline MCP provider setup. This PR adds
discovery and provider selection on top of that work.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: shared connection contracts, server search and intent
services, native runtime, CLI, inline setup UI, and evals.

**Problem or motivation**

An agent cannot offer a clear external-provider choice when Paperclip
has no native connection for an app. Adding provider-specific branches
to the core prompt would make those instructions harder to maintain.

**Proposed solution**

Prefer a native connection. Otherwise return verified alternatives in
Composio, Arcade, Executor, Zapier order. Include an external-service
disclosure, a question with None, and the next instruction in the search
result. Validate the saved human choice before creating a selected
fallback setup card. Reuse existing provider accounts and verify
underlying app access separately.

**Alternatives considered**

Do not silently choose a provider. Do not claim that broad execution
tools prove support for every app. Reuse existing questions and
connection intents rather than add another connection model.

**Roadmap alignment**

Extends the existing MCP Tool Gateway & Apps and Agent evals & feedback
capabilities. The MCP aggregators experiment remains the gate. No
duplicate provider-routing PR was found in the public search.

## What Changed

- Add a dated support index and authorized cached-tool evidence for
external routes.
- Return provider questions and next-step instructions from
`connections_search`.
- Preserve pending choices and declines across continuation. Validate
company, task, agent, human, app, and current route eligibility.
- Carry the selected app into new setup and account reuse, validate
explicit provider requests against persisted human messages, and
distinguish provider readiness from app authorization.
- Sync native, MCP, REST, and CLI contracts. Keep core agent
instructions provider-neutral.
- Add production-component Storybooks, focused database tests, and three
real-agent browser eval cases.
- Record the plan, observed failures, fixes, passing evidence, and
acceptance limits.

## Verification

- Latest head `586f0e6cd`: 54 checks passed, 2 skipped; Greptile 5/5 and
all review threads resolved.

- After rebasing on master `18dac1e1e`: 64 focused shared, validator,
route-contract, and database tests passed; server typecheck passed.
- Embedded-browser test drive on the rebased head: native Jira card,
HubSpot external-provider question, Arcade account reuse, one actual MCP
read against a local synthetic fixture, reload persistence, and None
preventing further calls. A real OpenAI-backed agent performed discovery
and continuation.
- UX observation: the agent initially combined mutually exclusive
request fields; the server rejected it and the agent recovered without
changing access. This extra retry remains visible in the transcript.
- After rebase: 23 focused eval grader/catalog tests, affected
TypeScript checks, token gates, production UI build, and Storybook build
passed. Full local tests are intentionally excluded at the maintainer's
request.
- Before rebase: four browser/real-agent attempts passed: native Jira,
None, and reuse of the second provider on two Codex profiles.
- Browser evals used an isolated deterministic MCP fixture through the
real Paperclip gateway. They do not prove production compatibility with
all four providers.
- Review `Apps / Connections / Provider choice` in Storybook. Choose
Arcade, continue through Access, and verify the app name,
external-service disclosure, and URL configuration.
- The detailed verification report is
`doc/connections/2026-09-23-aggregator-routing-verification.md`.

## Risks

- The public support index is finite and can age. Account capability and
app authorization still require verification after selection.
- Existing installed-tool permissions remain in effect. Provider choice
is not a new execution permission boundary. An early Mini attempt
skipped search; clearer provider-neutral instructions made the targeted
rerun pass. This is not a measured reliability rate.
- Explicit requests skip provider confirmation only when a clear
persisted human message or saved provider choice supports them. Other
phrasing falls back to confirmation; the agent query alone is not
consent. These routes do not add tool permissions.
- No database migration or legacy Composio broker is added.
Real-provider acceptance remains separate from fixture proof.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser tools. The exact deployment variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Product evals
separately used the repository's primary Codex and Codex Mini profiles;
those agents supplied test behavior, not independent provider
compatibility proof.

DottaandPaperclip 18dac1e1ef feat(connections): add experimental memory providers and remote MCP access (#13942)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Connections give agents governed access to external tools.
> - Agents need durable memory across tasks and execution environments.
> - Mem0, Zep, Supermemory, Cognee, and Honcho provide hosted memory
tools.
> - This pull request adds their setup flows behind an experimental
toggle.
> - It also delivers assigned MCP tools through the native remote Codex
runner.
> - Operators can connect a provider once and use the same governed
tools locally or in Daytona.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

The Apps catalog lacks a complete set of memory providers. Remote native
Codex agents also need access to assigned managed MCP tools without
receiving provider credentials.

**Proposed solution**

Add five memory connectors behind the disabled-by-default Experimental
memory connectors setting. Use the existing connection setup and
permissions UI. Default their tools to Allowed. Preserve company
boundaries, operator permission changes, provider scopes, and audit
attribution.

**Alternatives considered**

Direct provider credentials in each sandbox would duplicate setup and
bypass the managed gateway. The remote runner instead uses its existing
protocol channel to call the gateway on the server.

**Roadmap alignment**

This maintainer-requested experiment supports the Memory / Knowledge and
Connected Apps roadmap areas. It adds provider connections without
introducing a separate memory UI. Related connector authoring
documentation is tracked in #13692; no duplicate memory-provider
implementation was found.

## What Changed

- Add provider definitions, official branding, and the experimental
setting for all five providers.
- Use OAuth for Zep and Supermemory, API credentials for Mem0 and
Honcho, and a bundled Cloud API bridge for Cognee with no runtime
downloads or subprocesses.
- Default memory tools to Allowed and classify destructive actions
explicitly.
- Fix personal remote credential resolution and propagate provider tool
errors.
- Relay assigned managed MCP tools to remote native Codex through the
runner protocol. Recheck current authority for each call and rotate
stale tool contracts.
- Add 21 Storybook states and complete OAuth walkthrough fixtures.
- Document provider research, sanitized tool inventory, and live local
and Daytona proof.

## Verification

- Passed workspace typecheck: `pnpm -r typecheck`.
- Passed production build: `pnpm build`.
- Full local `pnpm test:run`: 13,273 passed, with failures from
process/readiness timeouts under parallel load. Reran all 16 affected
suites with one worker: 456 passed, leaving two macOS `/var` versus
`/private/var` path assertions. Both passed with `TMPDIR=/private/tmp`.
No test failures remain unverified. Latest-head remote CI passes all 54
checks (two optional Storybook jobs skipped). Greptile is 5/5 with no
unresolved findings.
- Latest Cognee gateway regression: 71 passed, including public
deployment without a runtime host and immediate recovery after a
provider error. Bundled bridge tests: 25 passed.
- Browser setup and real agent tasks exercised all five providers. Mem0,
Cognee, Zep, and Honcho have successful store/retrieve proof.
- Supermemory now has scoped read/write consent. Local storage and real
Daytona write, document read, and semantic recall passed; indexing
completion was verified before claiming success.
- All five providers were exercised through a real Daytona sandbox and
its native runner MCP relay. Provider credentials remained on the
server. The final bundled Cognee bridge also passed a fresh Daytona
store/recall run. All disposable sandboxes were removed and verified
absent after testing.
- Storybook is rebuilt and contains the experimental toggle, catalog,
setup, permissions, and error states. The Zep and Supermemory access
steps advance correctly.

## Risks

- Provider OAuth scopes and plan limits remain independent of Paperclip
tool permissions. An Allowed tool can still be rejected by the provider.
- Providers can queue memory indexing; save acceptance does not prove
that semantic recall is ready.
- Remote tool contracts must stay synchronized with current connection
authority. Regression tests cover revocation and stale contracts.
- This change has no database migration. Existing connections remain
usable when the experimental catalog toggle is disabled.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 Astra (`gpt-6-astra`), with reasoning, repository
edits, code execution, and browser automation. The exact context window
size is not exposed in this session. Live acceptance agents used
`gpt-5.6-sol`.

DottaandPaperclip a6448cd060 fix(runner): tolerate Codex account notifications during active turns (#13902)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Rust runner connects task runs to Codex app-server sessions.
> - Codex sends account notifications on the connection during
authentication updates.
> - These notifications have no task, thread, or turn identity.
> - The runner treated a valid account update as an invalid task event
and stopped the run.
> - This pull request classifies account updates as connection
information while preserving task identity checks.
> - Sandbox images can also contain an older runner with compatible
metadata. The server must compare its bytes before reuse.
> - Slack conversations use the deployed runner and can complete when
Codex refreshes account state.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13853. That change fixes the supported Codex version range.
This fixes a separate notification failure after the version check
succeeds.

**What happened?**

An active Codex task stopped with `thread_binding_mismatch` when the
provider emitted `account/updated` without a thread ID. Slack showed
that the agent stopped before completing its turn.

**Expected behavior**

Connection-level account updates must not stop a task or acquire task
authority. Account details must not appear in task output.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a task with the native Codex runner.
2. Emit `account/updated` during the turn, with `authMode` and
`planType` but no thread ID.
3. Observe that the old runner rejects the notification and fails the
turn.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced after #13853. The fix is based on `b648d8cdd`.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud staging with a remote Codex runner and a Slack chat connection.

## What Changed

- Classify `account/updated` and `account/login/completed` as connection
information.
- Reject account notifications that contain execution identity fields.
- Reuse the existing bounded diagnostic path without publishing account
payloads.
- Test both notification types during two consecutive turns. Preserve
existing identity rejection tests.
- Compare preinstalled sandbox runner bytes with the controller
artifact. Stage the deployed binary after a mismatch, failed checksum,
or timeout. Keep exact retained artifact reuse.

## Verification

- `cargo test --release --locked -p paperclip-runner-core`: passed, 582
test executions; two existing ignored cases.
- `cargo test --release --locked -p paperclip-runner-core --test
codex_provider`: 89 passed; two existing ignored cases.
- `cargo fmt --all` and `git diff --check`: passed.
- Repository-wide `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed. Server typecheck also
passed after the artifact-selection change.
- Server executor suite: 456 tests passed, including preinstalled digest
match, mismatch, checksum failure, and timeout.
- Repository-wide Vitest and build are running.
- Deployed `5648d90d5dd762c5a8b697face269f6eea9cd59d` to one staging
stack and verified its serving SHA.
- Retried the failed conversation through the Slack UI. The agent
replied and the task completed.
- Sent a fresh Slack mention asking which bots belong to the channel.
Verified successful `slack_members` and `slack_user` calls, a successful
run, and the delivered Slack answer.
- Sent a follow-up in the same Slack thread without another mention. The
agent returned the requested names from context, with one final reply.

## Risks

- Only two known connection-level notification methods change behavior.
Unknown authoritative methods and malformed or conflicting identities
still fail closed.
- An older sandbox runner now requires one upload when its bytes differ
from the controller artifact. Remote OS and architecture checks still
apply.
- No schema, credential, permission, Codex version-range, or UI changes.
The Codex minimum remains 0.149.0.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) through Codex, with reasoning, code
editing, terminal tools, and browser verification. The context-window
size is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 7944ed3d97 fix(runner): preserve hire runtime safety and first-activity timing (#13852)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane for companies of AI
agents.
> - Native runner agents need governed tools, durable runtime state, and
useful execution evidence.
> - A first activity trace waited 53.467 seconds even though tool
activity took 6.274 seconds; provider input arrived before the server
API call executed.
> - Native agents also need a safe way to hire teammates without asking
the model to rebuild runtime configuration.
> - This pull request separates the observed ACP input-stream window
from the actual server `tool.execute` span and adds a server-owned
native hire contract.
> - The benefit is clearer latency evidence and safer native teammates
with existing approval, auth, and company boundaries preserved.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related Daytona provenance work is in
[#13814](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13814). No
duplicate public PR was found for this combined timing and native-hire
change.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Native runner agents can use governed tools and request hires. The
server did not expose a safe native hire operation that reused the
caller's validated runtime settings. First-activity traces also mixed
provider input timing with server tool execution timing.

**Current behavior**

A native hire must construct a separate runner configuration. Full
configuration copying could expose paths, instructions, secrets, or
sessions. Timing evidence could make a provider or MCP identity join
appear proven when the trace did not contain that join.

**Proposed behavior**

The native `hire_agent` operation accepts identity and persona inputs.
The server sends `adapterType: "paperclip_runner"` with
`inheritRuntimeFrom: "caller"`, then copies only validated provider,
model, permission, lifecycle, and bounded execution settings. It
inherits and validates the default environment, derives the managed AI
binding through existing normalization, preserves approval and
permissions, and creates fresh child instructions. Caller secrets,
paths, prompts, and sessions are excluded.

Provider events now include the optional boolean `inputUpdated`, with
Rust forwarding support. Timing evidence separately records the ACP
input-stream window and the actual server `tool.execute` activity. It
does not claim a provider or MCP join without matching evidence.

**Reason and benefit**

Native agents can hire teammates that start with the caller's approved
execution policy. Operators retain company boundaries, auth rules,
approval gates, and requalification. Reviewers can distinguish provider
streaming time from server API execution time when diagnosing
first-activity delays.

**Breaking changes**

None for existing hires or tool calls. `inheritRuntimeFrom` is optional
and only applies to same-company native agent callers. Conflicting
explicit runtime settings are rejected. The provider event field is
optional for existing producers.

## What Changed

- Added the native `hire_agent` protocol action, catalog entry, API
contract, and runner authority checks.
- Added `inheritRuntimeFrom: "caller"` validation and a closed native
runtime inheritance allowlist.
- Preserved managed AI binding normalization, default-environment
validation, approval snapshots, permissions, requalification, and fresh
child instructions.
- Added provider `inputUpdated` schema support and Rust forwarding.
- Added first-activity and server tool timing evidence with conservative
identity-join handling.
- Added route, authority, provider-event, sidecar, API, catalog, and
Rust-focused tests.
- Kept private Honeycomb links, raw traces, and local result paths out
of this description.

## Verification

Focused checks passed:

- 458 timing/session checks.
- 61 native hire inheritance checks.
- 20 hire authority checks.
- 1,741 API checks.
- 106 catalog checks.
- 54 provider sidecar checks.
- 12 Rust provider checks.

Live R2 and R3 each passed 45 checks across 6 runs (361,135 ms for R2).
R1 stopped at missing Docker image setup. The final trace is available
at
https://ui.honeycomb.io/paperclip/environments/test/datasets/paperclip/result/BiMypLNvmiB?tab=traces.
Latest-head CI passed all required build, typecheck, Rust, static,
Vitest, serialized-server, workspace, chat, and E2E jobs. The focused
local checks listed above passed; the broad local suite was not run
before the live evaluation, while CI provides the full repository
verification.

## Risks

- Timing fields describe separate observed windows. They do not prove a
provider or MCP owner without a valid trace join.
- The inheritance allowlist must stay synchronized with native runner
configuration fields.
- Approval snapshots include resolved safe inherited settings and should
be reviewed when native configuration fields change.
- The focused local suite is narrower than the full repository suite;
latest-head CI covers the broader repository checks.

> Roadmap review: `ROADMAP.md` places this work within Paperclip's
bring-your-own-agent direction. It extends existing native runner hiring
and observability behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (exact serving model ID is not exposed), with extended
reasoning and repository tool use; GPT-5.6 Luna assisted with focused
implementation and verification work.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip be6f49a425 feat(runner): refresh shared coding harness runtimes (#13838)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip runs agents through local adapters and the native runner.
> - Both paths must use the same installed provider CLI.
> - New models require current harness releases.
> - The runner still pins Codex 0.153.4, Claude SDK 0.3.263, and
OpenCode 1.18.29.
> - Changing the image alone would fail the runner's exact version and
executable checks.
> - This pull request updates those dependencies, integrity checks,
controller checks, and image pins together.
> - Shared installations can then run the current models without a
task-time download.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13829, which updates model choices and reasoning controls.
Searches found no open PR that updates these runtime pins.

**Current behavior**

The shared provider pack ships old CLIs. Claude Code 2.1.263 cannot run
Opus 5.5, which requires 2.1.280. Remote controllers reject provider
packs whose versions differ from their declared pins.

**Proposed behavior**

Use Codex 0.156.0, Claude Agent SDK 0.3.280 / Claude Code 2.1.280, and
OpenCode 1.18.32 throughout the runner. Keep the reviewed ACP bridge
patches and one shared CLI installation per provider.

**Reason and benefit**

Current harnesses support the new model IDs while preserving executable
verification and remote provider-pack compatibility checks.

## What Changed

- Update dependency overrides, the Codex ACP package patch, runtime
profiles, and remote controller pins.
- Verify the new Claude Linux x64 and macOS arm64/x64 executables and
Codex Linux x64 executable against integrity-verified npm archives.
- Refresh OpenCode version checks, fixtures, and the runner
configuration label.
- Refresh the eval image's Grok, Gemini, Kimi, Cursor, and GitHub CLI
pins and archive hashes. Hermes remains current at 0.19.0.
- Refresh the build-time lock digest from clean pnpm 9.15.4 resolution.
Leave lockfile commits to repository automation.
- Document model compatibility and the separation between CLI runtimes
and patched ACP bridges.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- Rust workspace release tests passed.
- Package/patch and OpenCode binary-materialization contract tests: 11
passed.
- Real Codex 0.156.0 startup-ownership and paginated session-resume
probes passed with isolated synthetic homes and no model turn.
- Codex app-server `thread/start` preserved `gpt-6-sol` and
`gpt-6-luna`; no `turn/start` was sent. An unauthenticated built-in
catalog does not include those account-served entries.
- Installed Claude integrity probes passed for `claude-opus-5-5` and
`claude-fable-5-1`.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
test:opencode:qualification` passed with the actual OpenCode 1.18.32
executable under Node 24 and Node 25. The loopback provider exercise
covers health/version, session creation/read/delete, SSE, and a
completed async prompt.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- The targeted runner suite passed 130 tests. Three macOS failures in
snapshot module lookup and OpenCode final-message selection also
reproduce on the unchanged base; Linux CI will provide the platform
check.
- [Final Linux
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35798076399):
all gates passed. Four jobs needed one retry after their CI workers
received shutdown signals. The PR has 55 successful checks, two skipped
checks, Greptile 5/5, and no unresolved review threads.
- Changed runner configuration UI tests: 5 passed.
- Full macOS `pnpm test:run` reached 13,094 passing server tests, 84
skipped, and 18 failures before the wrapper stopped. Failures involved
skill-cache publication permissions, missing bundled connector skills in
the worktree, and a conversation-reset timing case. The 10 cache
permission failures reproduce on the unchanged base; both
conversation-reset cases passed on a targeted retry. The wrapper did not
reach its later workspace/serialized groups locally; Linux CI covers
those groups.
- The local Docker daemon did not respond, so no local Docker build was
run. No billable model requests were made.

## Risks

- Deploy the matching controller and provider pack together. Older
controllers enforce their previous exact pins.
- Current upstream CLIs can change behavior. Existing protocol tests and
isolated real Codex probes cover the integration boundaries;
authenticated model inference is not part of these checks.
- ACP bridge package versions and executable digests stay unchanged
because their executable bytes are unchanged. Only the underlying
CLI/SDK dependencies move.
- No schema migration. Revert the runtime and image pins together to
roll back.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with repository tools, code execution, and web
research. The exact serving model ID and context window were not exposed
by this session.

DottaandPaperclip a10702a878 feat(slack): add governed tools for Slack-origin tasks (#13828)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat connectors let people start and continue agent tasks from other
services.
> - A Slack conversation needs access to its surrounding discussion and
Slack collaboration tools.
> - The agent must use the linked requester's access and keep private
material within its permitted audience.
> - This pull request adds Slack tools through the existing connector
contribution and approval framework.
> - People can ask an invited bot to read a discussion, create follow-up
tasks, and collaborate in Slack.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Chat connectors, connector runtime, tool gateway, and connection
Settings/Access.

**Problem or motivation**

Slack-origin tasks can receive messages but cannot inspect the rest of a
channel or act through the originating bot. People must paste context or
configure a separate integration.

**Proposed solution**

Supply typed Slack tools and a bundled skill only to the originating
task and assigned agent. Resolve the linked requester on the server.
Check bot and requester access before reads and writes. Use existing
durable actions and approvals. Retrieved messages remain source
material.

**Alternatives considered**

Slack's user-OAuth MCP server does not replace the customer-created chat
bot. An unrestricted Web API proxy would not provide suitable permission
or publication boundaries.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing MCP Tool Gateway & Apps work with a provider
contribution. It does not add a task dispatcher or a separate Slack task
lifecycle. Related: #11144 covers generic per-user MCP grant execution;
this change binds Slack bot operations to chat-origin tasks.

## What Changed

- Add 39 typed Slack tools, a method/scope matrix, a bundled skill, and
shared native/HTTP execution.
- Bind tools to company, endpoint, task, run, assigned agent, and
admitted linked requester. Check membership and revocation on each call
and before queued writes.
- Add paginated reads, bounded history search, source links, messages,
file uploads, reactions, pins, bookmarks, topics, canvases, lists, and
approved channel operations.
- Restrict private-source publication, including automatic replies and
uploaded deliverables. Keep other people's bot DMs inaccessible.
- Reuse action receipts, idempotency, approvals, and reconciliation.
Suppress an identical explicit-send/final-reply duplicate. Return
governed results through their verified originating conversation.
- Add endpoint-bound personal search OAuth storage and lifecycle. Keep
native real-time search disabled until a runtime meets Slack's
transient-result requirements. Current runtimes use bounded history
search.
- Show capabilities, scope upgrades, and personal search authorization
in Settings/Access and Storybook. Document provider and runtime limits.

## Verification

- Current head `0eb21cba4`: CI checks pass and Greptile is 5/5 with no
unresolved findings. One unchanged rapid-callback timing test passed on
a single CI retry.
- Approval presentation regressions cover board-comment precedence and
exact Slack publication; the expanded database assertion passed in CI.
The local PostgreSQL startup probe later became unavailable, so that
final assertion was verified in CI. Slack setup and failed-run retry
browser tests also passed locally.

- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. Server typecheck/build
passed again after the approval routing fix.
- Broad local suites passed in separate groups: server 12,958 tests, UI
6,555, shared 770, skills catalog 20, and other workspace packages
2,652. CLI and serialized server checks passed after environment/timeout
retries. These are composite results, not one uninterrupted green
full-suite invocation.
- PostgreSQL authority regression covers admitted identity,
cross-company/task/agent rejection, recovery, retained-session
revocation, OAuth refresh/disconnect races, approval execution, exact
publication lineage, retries, uncertain sends, and duplicate
suppression.
- Gateway/response regressions cover separate-origin approval batches
and durable continuation. Focused provider, access, search, native
runtime, route, and AgentMail regressions pass.
- Storybook capability, missing-scope, OAuth configuration,
authorization, and disconnect states were inspected in the browser.
- Live staging: read a channel decision and full thread, create exactly
two assigned backlog tasks, add a reaction, paginate discovery to
exhaustion, and return bounded search matches with source links and
coverage.
- Live staging: create/edit/read a canvas and list, inspect the canvas
in Slack, post/edit one message, and create a channel only after
approval. New channels remain disabled for responses.
- Live staging: read a response-disabled channel from the requester's
DM; writes to that channel were denied. The test setting was restored.
- Final live retest passed: explicit file upload and exact content
read-back; approved deletion of only the disposable bot message;
continuation confirmation returned to the original Slack thread without
repeating the action.
- Optional OAuth, private multi-user boundaries, native RTS, and CLI
provider execution are not fully live-qualified. The staging agent
initially supplied malformed tool arguments; valid arguments succeeded,
and the tool/skill descriptions now emphasize UUID write keys.

## Risks

- Existing Slack apps must add scopes and reinstall for new
capabilities. Provider plans and document permissions can still restrict
operations.
- Instances need an independent `PAPERCLIP_TOOL_ACTION_SIGNING_SECRET`
for governed tool actions. The staging instance was configured with
explicit operator approval; fleet provisioning is a separate gap.
- Native RTS is not exposed on current transcript-retaining runtimes.
Bounded history scans are deliberately reported as incomplete. Inline
file reads support text/canvas content up to 256 KiB; other types return
metadata.
- Private document edits fail closed when the full audience cannot be
verified. Uncertain effects other than posts/uploads require inspection
instead of blind retries.
- Shared approval-delivery code now separates outcomes by source run to
preserve origin boundaries. No database migration is required.
- A separate completion-validator gap remains when the agent cites a
prior run's registered artifact during finalization. It asked for
registration again even though Slack delivery was confirmed. This change
does not add a connector-specific task-completion policy.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository tools, code execution, and
browser testing. The exact deployed model identifier and context-window
size were not exposed in the session.

DottaandPaperclip 3d78e3a4ec fix(runner): keep warm sessions alive with managed GitHub access (#13815)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - The native Runner keeps a live provider process between task turns.
> - Managed GitHub access used a token tied to one run.
> - A new run forced Paperclip to replace that process to replace its
token.
> - This PR gives the session a stable credential transport and binds
each operation to the active run.
> - The agent can keep its process while Paperclip checks current
identity and grants.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #13738. Related credential-rotation work: #11770 and #8208
use process replacement for other adapter credentials; this change
applies to managed GitHub access in the native Runner.

**What happened?**

A configured GitHub connection forced a warm native provider process to
close at each new run. The saved conversation survived, but the live
process did not.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the warm provider process. Resolve GitHub access for the current
run when each command starts. Deny access while idle or after the run
ends.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure managed GitHub access for a native Runner agent with a warm
session.
2. Complete a turn, then send another message to the same task.
3. Observe the provider process close with the reason `warm native
session configuration changed`.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master `8326e33ad`. Rebased onto `e3d8fb087` before
submission.

**Deployment mode**

Local and remote native execution, including the sandbox callback
bridge.

## What Changed

- Move configured native GitHub transport and launcher ownership from
the run to the provider session.
- Bind the broker only after the executor acquires session ownership.
Clear that binding when the run exits.
- Keep the shared live-run, identity, grant, and trust-policy checks for
each credential request.
- Reject wrong scopes, idle requests, and credential responses that
arrive after their run binding changes.
- Retire transport and launcher files with the provider session. Keep
anonymous commands available if bridge startup fails.
- Add red/green executor tests, real subprocess and callback-bridge
tests, and database checks. Update the runtime documentation.

## Verification

- Before the fix, both new local and remote warm-session reuse tests
failed.
- After the fix, 435 targeted tests passed across the executor, broker,
launcher, token, and database suites.
- A real long-lived test process kept the same PID and original
environment across two runs, including through the production callback
bridge on local test processes.
- Server typecheck and TypeScript compilation passed.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. Server typecheck passed
again after the review fix.
- The fallback-logging regression failed before the fix; all 9 broker
tests pass afterward.
- The exact chat sidebar browser scenario passed locally. The initial CI
timeout showed failed Vite module downloads; all eight browser shards
pass on the latest commit.
- All 53 latest-head checks passed, including the full CI test matrix
and security checks (two unrelated conditional checks skipped).
- The duplicate full local test run was stopped after CI passed; it is
not claimed as a completed local pass. Targeted local tests, workspace
typecheck/build, and the browser scenario passed.
- Greptile reviewed the latest commit at 5/5 with no unresolved
findings.
- No fresh paid provider or Daytona campaign has run for this change.

## Risks

- The broker now lives as long as the provider session. Tests cover idle
denial, late cleanup, late responses, shutdown, and failed startup.
- Its in-memory authority does not survive a controller restart.
Existing checkpoint and process-recovery rules still apply.
- Raw GitHub credentials remain confined to individual command
processes. The session transport token cannot select a different task,
agent, company, or run.
- No database migration or public API change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, terminal tools, and code execution.
The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 74a9730acb fix: continue native agent chats after worker loss (#13813)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat uses native workers to run Claude and Codex
conversations.
> - A worker crash leaves a cleanup hold because its provider did not
acknowledge suspension.
> - A new user message must not reuse that unverified session or repeat
old tool calls.
> - The existing continuation path can preserve history and start a
fresh session, but local cleanup ownership remained held.
> - This pull request verifies the stopped local owners and releases
only their cleanup hold for a new user turn.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13775.

**What happened?**

After a native worker crashed, both providers retained cleanup
quarantine. A saved plan survived, but the conversation could not
produce another answer.

**Expected behavior**

Once the old worker and provider process groups have stopped, a new user
message can continue in a fresh session with the saved work and prior
action history.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the opt-in `agent-chat-qualification` suite with case
`worker-crash-retry` on native Codex and native Claude. The fixture
saves a plan, kills the exact worker through a Linux pidfd, releases a
local read-only brief, and sends a new message.

## What Changed

- Verify the exact local worker stop receipt, provider identity
receipts, released leases, and retained state before retiring a native
cleanup hold.
- Recheck process liveness and state before admission. Keep the old run
and durable session files intact.
- Use the existing explicit conversation continuation path. Generic
Retry remains blocked for cleanup quarantine, including on the old
failed-run marker after a successful continuation.
- Extend the live oracle to require a successful fresh session, correct
predecessor context, unchanged plan, one original message, and one
answer containing a reference introduced after the crash.
- Add physical-proof and database-backed admission tests. Document the
precise qualification scope.

## Verification

- Live Product E2E: **2/2 passed**, **2/2 cleanup passed**, with real
native `gpt-5.6-sol` and `claude-sonnet-5`, Chromium, server, database,
and public APIs.
- Core recovery proof source:
`3592b04c2bc76e23795fcdf964720e38a409dc4d`. Suite definition version 8:
`9867367994d81a0c726956d91f2c7fddab6417a12f41b5cef3f7e62f3be417da`.
- [Core recovery
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35741746990)
· [Public evidence
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35741746990-1/).
- Both cells verify the real crash boundary, blocked generic Retry,
unchanged saved plan, one original prompt, one fresh successor with
predecessor context, and one run-attributed answer containing the
post-crash reference. Billing coverage is partial because the crashed
runs did not report complete usage; missing cost is not zero cost.
- [Master
baseline](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35737364443):
both providers stopped at quarantine, with cleanup passing.
- [Follow-up baseline without the
fix](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35738638866):
Codex produced a complete red result. Claude reached the same error, but
its artifact upload was canceled.
- [Complete Claude baseline with the same version-8
definition](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740555177):
red at cleanup quarantine, cleanup passed, source
`6479a90c5754044356b39a9278b9a3e92ce8e55e`.
- Earlier candidate attempts remain retained:
[first](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35738449214)
passed Codex and found a Claude fixture wait race;
[second](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35740408065)
exposed the normalized session-open receipt mismatch. Both corrections
are in the final source.
- Targeted server suites: 570 passed before the final two additional
receipt regression cases. The physical-proof suite, including those
cases, passed 46/46. Eval oracle and catalog: 40 passed. Server and
Product E2E typechecks passed.
- **All 54 PR checks passed on final head `db6f775df`**, including
repository typecheck, build, tests, browser shards, and canary dry run.
The canary job required one retry after its runner received a shutdown
signal. On the earlier core proof head, two timing-sensitive tests
passed in isolation and on a single CI retry.
- Final UI regression checks: 5 passed; UI typecheck and token gates
passed. Updated eval oracle/catalog: 40 passed; eval typecheck passed.
- Final version-9 two-provider campaign: **2/2 passed, 2/2 cleanup
passed**, including the browser assertion that the quarantined
historical run never regains Try again. [Final
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35747416013),
source `db6f775dfff405e1514ec02fedb0450d42c7dad2`, definition hash
`bf5abf1cc45cb6dad4e082fbf818b8fa0f4d8c282776a7e98762b22919eadab7`.
[Final public evidence
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35747416013-1/).
Final screenshots and retained state inspected for both providers; cost
coverage remains partial.

## Risks

- Missing or conflicting stop evidence keeps the conversation blocked.
This change does not kill an unverified process.
- This qualifies new user input after local worker loss. It does not
enable automatic replay, exact-session recovery, remote crash recovery,
or native onboarding defaults.
- Old action outcomes remain part of the continuation. A process exit is
not proof that an action did not happen.
- No schema migration or production prompt change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The runtime does not expose a more specific model
identifier or context-window size. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, code editing, shell tools, and test execution.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 110d176fc9 fix: preserve chat message bindings in review recovery (#13818)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - External chat messages can start work on tasks that remain in review.
> - Paperclip queues one recovery run when a task loses its review path.
> - That recovery keeps the chat source but loses the admitted message IDs.
> - The authorization check then rejects the recovery before execution starts.
> - This change retains the message IDs so the existing check can verify current access.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13809.

**What happened?**

A successful external-chat run can leave an active task in review without a maintained review path. Its automatic recovery then fails with `reviewed_chat_execution_binding_not_authorized`. The recovery context retains `chat:slack` but drops `wakeCommentIds`.

**Expected behavior**

An eligible recovery should retain its admitted message references and pass a new authorization check. Missing or revoked access must still prevent execution.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finish a chat run whose task remains in review with no maintained review path.
2. Build the bounded review recovery from that run's context.
3. Dispatch the recovery through the reviewed-chat authorization check.

The new regression tests fail before this patch. Related PR #13809 handles answered conversations that become idle. This patch handles recovery when the conversation remains active.

## What Changed

- Retain the admitted message batch for external-chat review recovery. Derive the current comment reference from that batch.
- Share the existing supported-provider selector between recovery and run-bound chat authorization. AgentMail remains on its separate email inbox path.
- Keep the existing authorization check. Do not copy prior checkout, authorization, session, or prompt state.
- Test Slack and Discord recovery, missing batches, revoked access, and changed task or company bindings.
- Document the recovery authorization contract.

## Verification

- The new tests reproduced the missing-message failure before the fix.
- Six focused suites passed: 257 tests covering review recovery, reviewed-chat authorization, issue liveness, Slack lifecycle, comment-wake batching, and external-chat waits. PostgreSQL integration tests ran against a temporary local PostgreSQL database.
- Focused test files: `review-path-recovery.test.ts`, `heartbeat-reviewed-chat-binding.integration.test.ts`, `heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation.test.ts`, `slack-conversation-lifecycle.test.ts`, `heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts`, and `external-chat-wait.integration.test.ts`.
- Server TypeScript check passed with scratch configuration that resolves this checkout's workspace packages. Existing dependency links point to another checkout; the default check reports stale shared-type errors.
- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` and `git diff --check` passed.
- `git diff | gitleaks stdin --redact --no-banner` passed. The diff was also checked for private identifiers and user data.
- [Full PR CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35760757895) passed on the latest commit, including build, workspace typecheck, general and serialized tests, Rust checks, and all eight browser shards. The unchanged local-service readiness test and agent-chat page-load assertion passed when their failed shards were retried. The local-service suite also passed locally (6 tests). The first, superseded run lost a chat runner; its stuck browser job was cancelled to unblock the current run.
- Full local workspace typecheck, tests, and build were not run. The machine has about 2 GiB free, and those commands include Rust builds. The full PR CI checks passed before merge.

## Risks

Small context-construction change. Dispatch still checks current execution ownership and access for every admitted message. The recovery remains bounded to one attempt per consumed path. No schema changes. Existing failed runs are not retried by this patch.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with tool use and code execution.

DottaandPaperclip 8813a50105 feat: run GitHub review bots through Paperclip agents (#13717)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agent work as tasks and runs.
> - GitHub chat brings repository conversations into those tasks.
> - A review bot needs the assigned agent, its authority, and governed
provider tools.
> - The existing channel connection did not supply that review workflow
or a complete setup journey.
> - This pull request adds GitHub App setup, account access, event
prompts, task-bound review tools, and exact-commit checks.
> - Operators can inspect each review through the same task, run, and
activity systems.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

GitHub chat, governed connection tools, task execution, shared/database
contracts, and connector setup UI.

**Problem or motivation**

Operators need a GitHub review bot that runs their assigned Paperclip
agent. Mentions and PR events must preserve task ownership and requester
authority. Provider publication must use the bot App identity and
enforce the configured permissions.

**Proposed solution**

Extend the existing GitHub chat connector with resumable App onboarding,
linked-member and sponsored-guest access, editable event prompts, and
governed review operations. Validate structured assessments on the
server and compute a stable Paperclip Review check for the exact head
commit.

**Alternatives considered**

A separate review scheduler would duplicate Paperclip execution and
permissions. Reusing personal GitHub credentials would change the bot
identity and credential boundary.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing Connected Apps and governed-tool
infrastructure. The project owner requested and approved this design.
Related PR #8645 imports external Codex review feedback; this change
runs an assigned Paperclip agent and publishes its results through the
existing chat connector.

## What Changed

- Include the current Paperclip instance origin in the copied setup
prompt. Storybook uses its configured Paperclip origin; callback
parameters and URL credentials are excluded.

- Add a Claude/Codex copy button in the real setup and Storybook opening
step. Its detailed prompt asks four setup questions and guides
embedded-browser setup, verification, and optional required checks.
Clipboard failure exposes selectable instructions.
- Add a tutorial that explains why App installation, review scheduling,
and required checks are separate choices.

- Add manifest registration, an existing-App path, separate installation
and repository selection, repository refresh, and explicit account
confirmation.
- Add low-trust agent guidance, effective capability verification,
member selection, and explicit restricted guests with a sponsor.
- Add configurable PR events, prompts, repository overrides, rating
thresholds, and separate formal-review permissions.
- Give the assigned agent governed App tools to read PRs, comment, begin
an assessment, submit findings, and optionally submit a formal review.
- Bind review history, root PR events, and inline replies to ordinary
tasks. Deduplicate deliveries/findings and reject stale publication.
- Link check Details to the underlying task on the current trusted
hostname, or to Reviews before task creation.
- Add schema migration 0283, API contracts, production UI, and 49
interactive Storybook states.
- Repair local lease recovery. Keep the Cloud Dockerfile identical to
master; no provider-pack layer or runtime-default environment variable
is added.
- Retry only rolled-back wake-admission transactions after transient
endpoint-lock contention. A deterministic held-lock regression proves
one accepted wake.

## Verification

- Current head: `7ba761fe007bb798400d3e62346fa964f607f0f8`, rebased on
master `d9b3a5653e41f2ee5a1345b97c86a238f7a5c8e9`. Dockerfile has zero
diff against master. Final workspace typecheck and build passed. The new
PostgreSQL migration regression passed and preserves existing relation
and constraint identities after replay.
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5. There are zero unresolved
review threads and no merge conflicts.
- All current-head checks are green: 54 passed and two conditional
Storybook jobs skipped. This includes complete server/workspace test
suites, build, typechecks, policy checks, Runner suites, browser suites,
and security status. One timing-sensitive callback-ordering test passed
in isolation and its CI shard passed one retry. The duplicate local
full-suite run was stopped after CI completed; it is not counted as a
local full-suite pass.
- Before the final Slack rebase and migration renumbering, 186 focused
GitHub tests, 14 native bootstrap cases, token gates, and Storybook
build passed. The final rebase retained the new Slack communication
guidance.
- The embedded-browser setup test copied the full detailed prompt,
including the configured Paperclip instance URL. Desktop and narrow
layouts were checked. Component tests cover successful copying and
clipboard failure with selectable text and retry.
- Live local and hosted GitHub acceptance evidence refers to application
revision `cb703ac959876a07ebf3d7a295847f9f351eb6fc`. Real agent tasks
exercised issue mentions, automatic PR reviews, inline findings,
repeated mentions, task continuation, and failing-to-passing checks
after a push. The Storybook agent generated, built, and browser-rendered
pages; missing acceptance text failed, matching text passed, and broken
JSX produced an incomplete result.
- Live cases also covered independently disabled push events, prompt
injection, duplicate signed deliveries, rapid pushes, stale-result
rejection, finding deduplication, and restart recovery. Formal reviews
were denied while disabled and published only after explicit enablement.
Check Details links pointed to the underlying task on the trusted
hostname.
- Those hosted native Claude runs used the provider-pack layer now
removed from this PR. They do not prove native Claude works on the
standard Cloud image. A replacement hosted native Codex run is not yet
verified: the disposable QA tenant has only an Anthropic AI connection.
No new staging or production deployment was made for the packaging
removal.
- Required-check merge enforcement could not be tested because the
private disposable repository's GitHub plan rejected the rules
configuration. Published success/failure/incomplete check states were
verified directly.

## Risks

- Latest master allocated migration 0282 to Slack. The GitHub migration
is regenerated as 0283 with replay-safe table/index/constraint creation;
a PostgreSQL regression verifies existing relations and constraints are
preserved. Existing preview tenants remain subject to the fleet
migration-history compatibility preflight; no bypass is introduced.

- Migration 0283 adds company-scoped configuration, registration,
review, and publication records. Existing connections retain their
behavior until reviews/tools are enabled.
- Signed webhooks and expiring registration state remain required.
Hosted installations also need the companion narrow Cloud gateway
exemptions.
- Agent assessments can be incomplete or wrong. The server enforces
coverage/result structure, current-head publication, rating policy, and
separate formal-review permission; it does not replace code-review
judgment.
- No Cloud image packaging changes are included. Remote native
ACPX/Claude and OpenCode retain their existing operator-supplied
provider-pack prerequisite. Native Codex and Codex with managed MCP
tools do not require that pack. Earlier staging deployment evidence
refers to its stated revision, not this packaging-removal head.
Production rollout and merging remain outside this change.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository, code execution, API, and
embedded-browser tools. The exact serving model ID and context-window
size were not exposed by the environment.

DottaandPaperclip d9b3a5653e feat(chat): add initial Slack communication guidance and connection menus (#13760)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat connectors let people use the same tasks and agent tools from
external conversations.
> - Agents need communication guidance that fits the conversation
medium.
> - That guidance belongs in the original task context, without repeated
instructions on each turn.
> - Connection owners also need clear settings and a consistent way to
remove a connection.
> - This pull request adds initial Slack guidance, optional connection
instructions, and chat connection menus.
> - The benefit is clearer Slack replies with the existing Paperclip
workflow and permissions.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Agent replies in Slack and chat connection management in the Apps
catalog.

**Current behavior**

Slack tasks do not carry a saved communication profile. The catalog
shows a separate Manage button and does not offer removal on every chat
connection row.

**Proposed behavior**

Save Slack guidance when a new conversation creates a task. Restore that
original guidance when a model session is rebuilt. Do not append it to
ordinary follow-ups. Expose optional additional instructions in Slack
Settings. Put Manage and Remove connection in a three-dot menu for all
chat providers. Keep Finish setup visible for drafts.

**Reason and benefit**

Small answers fit in Slack. Substantial deliverables use ordinary
document or artifact tools with a useful Slack summary. Connection
settings apply to new tasks and cannot change permissions. Users can
remove both active and unfinished chat connections from the catalog.

**Breaking changes**

Two additive database columns store endpoint preferences and the initial
conversation snapshot. Existing endpoints default to empty preferences.
Existing conversations keep their original behavior. Non-Slack guidance
is unchanged.

Related public context:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13741 improves native chat
recovery. This change adds communication context to those existing
execution paths. A search found no duplicate communication-guidance PR.

## What Changed

- Add a provider-guidance registry, enabled for Slack first.
- Persist optional endpoint communication instructions and capture an
immutable snapshot when a conversation creates a task.
- Resolve guidance from the verified company-scoped connection. Restore
it for fresh native and legacy sessions without per-turn reminders,
extra model calls, or extra context queries.
- Add the Slack Settings field, validation, audit coverage, and
Storybook save/error states.
- Add Manage and Remove connection menus for all seven chat providers.
Keep the draft setup button. Require removal confirmation and allow
retry after failure.
- Add regression coverage, an active/draft menu story, and connector
documentation.

## Verification

All CI checks are green for 5f48df4e0. Greptile scored this head 5/5
with no actionable findings. No review threads remain unresolved.

- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` on PR head 5f48df4e0.
- Passed design-token checks, UI typecheck, and all 20 catalog tests
after rebase. Tests cover all seven providers, active/draft removal,
confirmation, cache refresh, errors, and cancellation.
- Verified the active/draft menu in Storybook. The interaction test runs
without browser console errors.
- Passed focused guidance, endpoint persistence/isolation, heartbeat
trust, native context, ACPX, adapter utility, and CLI recovery tests.
Full UI and CLI groups passed (6,512 and 502 tests).
- Tested real Slack conversations on staging: concise updates with
public links, a planning question with buttons, a saved plan, a saved
report, task creation and assignment, and explicit detailed output. Old
tasks retained original preferences after an edit; a new task used the
changed preferences. Restored the staging setting afterward.
- Existing safe progress remained visible without duplicate final
replies or private reasoning.
- Broad local tests found resource/time-sensitive failures that passed
targeted reruns. One Cursor archive-download fixture failed on both this
branch and the unchanged main checkout. The full local suite is not
claimed clean. All PR-head CI test shards passed, including general,
serialized, Runner, and browser suites. The redundant local full-suite
rerun was stopped after CI completed successfully.
- Live delegation was not tested because the staging company has only
one agent. Live testing also found separate latency and runner
task-editing capability gaps; this PR does not add connector-specific
workflow behavior to hide them.

## Risks

- Prompt guidance changes the form of new Slack replies. Explicit
requests for detail still take precedence.
- The additive migration is idempotent. Conversation snapshots remain
fixed when connection settings change.
- Native and legacy recovery must preserve the initial context without
duplicates; targeted tests cover these paths.
- Removing a connection stops new work through the existing lifecycle
action. It retains Paperclip task history and does not delete the
external app or bot.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository editing, shell tools, and
browser testing. The host does not expose a more specific model ID or
context-window size. No separate model calls were added to the product.

3790ca2f13 fix(runner): repair approval and Stop races and eval infrastructure (#13750)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Runner tasks must continue after approval and stop when the user
presses Stop.
> - Live evals found races at approval delivery and provider startup.
> - Browser readiness and CI setup errors also hid the actual task
results.
> - This pull request fixes those races and the related test
infrastructure.
> - Regression tests and saved live reports show which cases now pass.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Companion eval definitions PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/25 (AgentCore paused
and provider/environment infrastructure).

Related: #13741 now supplies the late-startup Stop fence and
warm-attachment recovery; this PR retains that fence and extends startup
tracking and regression coverage to both native backend paths. #13539
introduced queued approvals during active runs. #13738 fixes child
assignment, task replies, and warm process continuity and is already in
the base. #13291 concerns automatic continuation of interrupted legacy
sandbox runs; this PR fixes native startup cancellation and does not
change that recovery policy.

**What happened?**
An accepted service approval could wait after its source run stopped.
Stop could return success before the provider handle existed. Work could
then start after Stop, or a cancelled run could be recorded as failed.
Some E2E tests also failed on unloaded browser content or irrelevant
reply wording. Runner CI could fail before model work because of
dependency or sandbox setup.

**Expected behavior**
Deliver each settled approval once after its source run stops. Do not
start work after an acknowledged Stop. Preserve the audited
cancellation. Test the intended product behavior with a ready browser
and verified runtime dependencies.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Approve a service request while its source run is active. Let the run
finish. Check that its result starts one continuation.
2. Delay provider startup. Press Stop before its handle is available.
Check cancellation, then submit `/new`.
3. Run the browser, warm-workspace, and Stop-and-redirect cases from the
linked report.

The branch includes master at `9d19f98b5`. The report records the
original source for each focused attempt.

**Deployment mode**
Isolated local development instances and disposable Daytona sandboxes.

## What Changed

- Deliver settled tool-action results for the exact company and source
run during final cleanup. Keep the existing idempotent receipt and
periodic recovery sweep.
- Wait for startup to hand off its provider handle before acknowledging
Stop. Reject first-turn admission after cancellation. Preserve a
matching audited pending or acknowledged cancellation.
- Wait for mounted task history and connector controls in browser tests.
Record failure evidence. Grade workspace contents and process continuity
separately from exact reply wording. Require each warm-turn marker once
and in order, allowing surrounding prose.
- Stop-and-redirect now checks that the source file exists and work is
active before Stop.
- Resolve target dependency locks in an uncredentialed CI job. Verify
the lock artifact hash. Keep orchestration and publication on the
trusted workflow revision.
- Materialize the pinned OpenCode executable and configure the exact
Codex executable's user-namespace profile before provider credentials
are available.
- Compress Daytona directory uploads with gzip. Preserve files,
executable modes, symlinks, empty directories, and confinement checks.
- Classify file-transfer RPC deadlines as infrastructure. Keep unrelated
runner RPC failures visible.

## Verification

- [Focused live report with screenshots and original
attempts](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-reliability-20260921/): 14
of 15 selected Product E2E cases pass across the recorded revisions.
Claude and Codex Stop → `/new`, Claude service approval, delegation,
both hiring/reuse cases, and native Daytona warm continuity pass.
- Two credentialed Runner smoke cases pass. These are not full protocol
coverage.
- E2E harness after the master merge: 429 tests pass. E2E and server
TypeScript checks pass.
- Daytona plugin: 239 tests pass, 6 skipped. Plugin TypeScript build
passes. The compression test fails against the old code and passes with
the change.
- Runner backend/runtime regression group: 161 tests pass.
Cancellation/startup selection: 26 tests pass. Approval delivery: 34
real-database tests pass.
- Workflow security: 7 tests pass. Both edited workflows pass
actionlint. Runner TypeScript and Rust builds pass.
- After merging master, all 389 native executor tests pass, including
both native backend paths and late startup after the Stop deadline.
- Post-merge `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. The monolithic
local `pnpm test:run` was interrupted to integrate master and is
inconclusive. The [hosted CI test
partitions](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35620461738)
pass on `50a3e43822bcba1e0d07b1b45b0be91cbf9312da`. An unchanged sandbox
callback schema test initially received HTTP 503. It passed five
isolated local runs, its full local test file, and one failed-job CI
retry. No assertion was weakened.

## Risks

- Stop can wait for the bounded startup handoff. If it cannot settle,
the existing pending-recovery state remains instead of a false
acknowledgement.
- Immediate approval delivery must remain idempotent across cleanup and
recovery sweeps. Tests cover duplicate delivery and company/run
boundaries.
- The workflow changes still need hosted Linux verification. They retain
the trusted workflow and credential boundaries.
- Gzip reduces the observed provider upload from about 1.8 GB to 663 MB.
It does not yet fix the remaining Claude Daytona transfer timeout. That
recovery test never reached Claude, so recovery remains unverified. Use
a matching image with the verified provider package preinstalled for the
next recovery test; retain cold-upload coverage separately.
- The report preserves diagnostic runs with missing source metadata and
marks them as such. It does not claim a new full-suite pass.
- This PR adds no new prompt policy or historical status reconciliation.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex performed the primary implementation and
review. The exact primary backend model ID is not exposed in this
session. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded infrastructure work
and verification. The agents used repository tools, code execution, and
browser tests. The exact backend revision and context-window size are
not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9d19f98b50 fix: harden native chat recovery and add coordination evals (#13741)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent chat uses native runner sessions to plan, delegate, and track
that work.
> - A user can press Stop while the native session is still starting.
> - The server can acknowledge that Stop without dispatching it, then
let the session submit a turn.
> - This leaves chat recovery waiting for an execution that the user
expected to stop.
> - This PR waits for the startup handle, dispatches cancellation, and
prevents a late startup from submitting a turn.
> - New full-stack evals check the resulting records and outputs across
Claude and Codex.
> - Those evals also exposed missing ACPX readiness fields, unbounded
polling, and an old-run identity check that rejected valid warm
handoffs.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Stop during native startup could record an acknowledged cancellation
with `dispatched: false`. The provider could then begin work. A
subsequent `/new` stayed queued. A remote Claude follow-up also
exhausted the command journal while probing warm-session readiness: ACPX
never returned the readiness fields required by the shared transport.
Once readiness worked, attachment incorrectly compared the next run
descriptor against the old run ID. The 25 ms polling loop could issue
4,800 commands during its two-minute wait, beyond the 500-command bound.
The existing chat eval treated lifecycle logs as proof of an active
provider turn, so it did not distinguish startup cancellation from
active-turn cancellation.

**Expected behavior**

A Stop during startup must reach the pending session. A late session
must not submit a prompt after Stop. Recovery must retain control when
startup exceeds the bounded wait. Chat evals must check saved task
state, document contents, worker identity, account binding, and
duplicate effects.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a native Claude or Codex chat turn.
2. Press Stop after process startup is requested but before the provider
turn starts.
3. Send `/new`, then send a fresh message.
4. On the affected base, cancellation can be acknowledged without
dispatch and the reset stays queued.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The live Claude baseline reproduced this on `29d6b3509`. The branch also
includes master commit `0f5fafe16`.

Related work: #13678, #13686, #13693, #13291, #13738. A separate runner
reliability branch also contains a startup-wait fix. Its overlap must be
reconciled before merging; this branch additionally prevents prompt
submission after a late startup.

## What Changed

- Wait for a pending native startup before acknowledging a run-scoped
Stop. Preserve the existing recovery error when that wait expires.
- Keep a Stop guard on startup. Cancel a late handle before it can
submit a provider turn.
- Add regression tests for normal handle publication and publication
after the Stop deadline.
- Back off blocked warm-attachment probes. Keep the fast two-snapshot
barrier, fail closed, and record changed blockers.
- Add red/green tests for delayed readiness, persistent blockers,
alternating readiness, and readiness near the deadline.
- Publish ACPX readiness and blockers. Preserve the old authority’s
event acknowledgement barrier; only settled sessions can proceed to
attachment.
- Bind warm ACPX descriptors to the validated next authority while
retaining old-run event correlation until activation. Preserve session
identity and provider profile checks.
- Exercise two consecutive run rotations through a qualified fake
sidecar, verifying checkpointing, provider identity, pre-activation
rejection, and new-run work admission.
- Separate startup and active-turn cancellation checkpoints in the
browser eval.
- Add 18 explicit native chat eval cells: 12 local and 6 Daytona cells
across Claude and Codex.
- Cover hiring and reuse through managed AI accounts, source-based
review, current blocked-task status, request replay after a lost HTTP
acknowledgement, server restart continuity, and Stop/reset continuity.
- Use ordinary production agent instructions. Enable API tools only for
the two coordination cases that need them.
- Calibrate the matchers with invalid records and outputs. Require
remembered context after restart and a structured status snapshot that
distinguishes the current blocker from history and task status from
active execution. Compare the public issue mutation contract and
relationships during read-only reporting. Preserve before/after source
records in failed eval evidence.
- Fix the lost-ack browser harness and verify it against a real HTTP
server. Check the chat composer after restart instead of waiting for an
unrelated document lifecycle event.
- Document the scope and limits of each case.

## Verification

- The startup regression failed on the unfixed executor and passed after
the fix.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit` passed: 424 tests in 37 files.
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/native-runtime/native-session-executor.test.ts`
passed: 385 tests.
- [Baseline live
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35608208868):
Claude Stop reproduced the bug. Codex Stop and Claude hire/reuse passed.
Codex delegation was blocked by provider capacity.
- [Eval-only startup
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35609479786):
both providers failed as expected. Both persisted `dispatched: false`
and left `/new` queued.
- [First fixed
campaign](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35610533706)
on `c9e95797d`: 10/18 cells passed. Startup Stop passed for both
providers. Failed cases exposed eval harness defects and remote
continuity failures. All attempts remain available.
- [Original workflows and stronger memory
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35611896649)
on `c04324fab`: 9/12 passed. Reassignment, local restart memory, and
startup Stop passed for both providers; Codex remote restart passed.
Claude remote restart exposed the missing readiness contract. Two Codex
planning cells hit provider capacity.
- [Unchanged-model
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35613854548):
Codex planning and backlog creation both passed.
- [18-cell campaign with ACPX
readiness](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35614586963)
on `6a98ef743`: 16/18 passed, including all local/remote Stop and
committed-send cases. Claude remote continuity exposed the
next-authority check, now fixed. Codex hiring produced its checklist,
but the runner redacted the requested marker after it appeared as
“Tracking token: …”. That content-redaction policy is unchanged and
remains an explicit limitation.
- [Structured status
grading](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35614954725)
on `50448c228`: both providers passed on their first attempt, including
cleanup.
- [Complete read-only state
grading](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35616089011)
on `551e13892`: both providers passed.
- [Final ACPX handoff and hiring
retry](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35617045456)
on `cbd637587`: all three Claude Daytona cases passed (restart
continuity, active Stop/reset, and lost-ack replay). Codex hiring
reproduced the content-redaction failure: the saved checklist contained
`Tracking token: [REDACTED]` instead of the required business marker.
All four cases completed cleanup successfully. [Published
report](https://d1p6rlowie26tp.cloudfront.net/runner-e2e/campaigns/gha-35617045456-1/).
The only subsequent commit adds the qualified-sidecar integration test;
production code is identical to this live proof.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:browser-support` passed: 5 browser tests without
paid models.
- Runner TypeScript typecheck passed. All 5 warm-readiness tests pass;
two failed with the prior fixed-rate loop, and the late-readiness test
failed before the pacing correction.
- ACPX readiness and warm-identity regressions each failed before their
fixes. All 292 runner-core Rust library tests passed. The
qualified-sidecar integration test passes. Rust formatting is checked.
- Status-grader regressions for misleading historical mentions and
previously unchecked mutations each failed before tightening the oracle
and pass now.
- [Latest-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35617522307)
passed on `a4093c8f1`: full build, type checks, test partitions, browser
E2E, and native runner checks. Two unrelated tests initially failed
(Sentry fixture release attribution and local-service fixture
readiness); both passed locally together (35 passed, 5 optional SDK
tests skipped) and on the failed-job retry. No changes were made to
those tests.
- Greptile reviewed `a4093c8f1` at 5/5; both earlier findings are fixed
and all review threads are resolved.
- The paid live suite is not fully green: the reproducible
content-redaction case remains red. This is separate from the passing PR
merge checks. No production content-redaction, prompt, model, or
completion-policy change is included.
- Managed-account hiring and review cases explicitly enable API tools;
these do not qualify default new-user onboarding.

## Risks

- Stop can wait up to 30 seconds for startup, then use the existing
pending-recovery path. This does not prove that remote cleanup has
finished.
- Blocked warm readiness adds up to 750 ms between later probes with the
two-minute remote budget, or about 32 ms with the default five-second
budget. Ready sessions retain the short second barrier.
- Paid evals can fail because of provider capacity or agent decisions.
Each failure needs evidence-based classification.
- The HTTP request replay case checks comment idempotency and duplicate
effects. It does not prove replay safety for an ambiguous provider tool
call.
- The new suite is opt-in. It does not increase the default paid
campaign.
- No production prompts or model selection change. Review-handoff
behavior and content-redaction policy remain separate product decisions.
The latter can remove harmless business content that looks like
credential syntax; the failing attempt is retained.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository tools and code execution. The exact
deployment model ID and context window are not exposed in this task.

DottaandPaperclip fd071748ee fix: stop repeated notifications for finalized run failures (#13739)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native run reconciliation repairs saved execution outcomes after
interruptions.
> - The sweep also visits runs whose final results are already
committed.
> - An unchanged failed run still received a new status delivery ID on
every sweep.
> - The browser treated each delivery as a new failure after its short
duplicate window expired.
> - This pull request makes unchanged projections a no-op and suppresses
repeated or historical run toasts.
> - Operators receive fresh failure alerts without repeated alerts for
old work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An old failed run repeatedly produced failure toasts while the browser
remained open. The task could already be cancelled. Reconciliation
rewrote the same failed outcome and queued another status broadcast.

**Expected behavior**

An unchanged committed run must not queue a new status notification.
Repeated deliveries must still refresh cached state without another
toast.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Finalize a native run with a failed result and successful workspace
finalization.
2. Deliver its pending execution status and cancel its task.
3. Replay finalization and status delivery on each periodic sweep.
4. Observe another failure broadcast for every sweep before this fix.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against source commit c65fc9e3c. The new regression produced
three extra broadcasts in three sweeps before the fix.

**Deployment mode**

Authenticated hosted deployment. The database regression also reproduces
with isolated embedded PostgreSQL.

Related context: #13104 established contextual run notifications. This
change fixes duplicate delivery after finalization. No matching open fix
was found.

## What Changed

- Add a database predicate that skips unchanged committed run
projections. Preserve real status repairs, pending delivery IDs, and
ownership checks.
- Track observed company/run/status outcomes in the live update
provider. Keep this bounded history across socket reconnects.
- Suppress terminal toasts delivered more than five minutes after
completion, using server timestamps.
- Add regressions for cancelled tasks, concurrent replay, incomplete
projection repair, repeated broadcasts, historical failures, and
reopening a window.
- Document the notification behavior in DESIGN.md.

## Verification

- 103 focused server and UI tests passed before rebase. The new server
regression failed on the original implementation and passed with the
fix.
- Server and UI TypeScript checks passed before rebase.
- UI production build and `pnpm check:token-gates` passed before rebase.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passed locally after rebase. Full
tests, typecheck, and build passed in CI on the exact PR head; the
redundant local full-suite run was stopped after CI completed.
- All current-head CI checks passed, including all eight browser shards.
Browser shard 4 passed on one unchanged-code rerun after an initial
chat-page navigation timeout (blank screenshot, slow loads, no
JavaScript crash).
- Greptile reviewed the current head at 5/5 with no actionable findings
or open review threads.

## Risks

- The UI intentionally omits transient toasts for outcomes delivered
more than five minutes after completion. Run history and cache updates
remain available.
- The observed-outcome cache holds at most 2,000 identities. Historical
timestamps also protect fresh page loads.
- No schema changes. Recovery still repairs missing completion metadata
and stale successful-run errors. Existing ownership gates remain
enforced.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, shell tools, browser
inspection, and test execution. The exact deployment identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 0f5fafe16b fix(runner): preserve task replies and warm process continuity (#13738)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - The Runner connects provider sessions to task state, replies, and
delegated work.
> - Full-stack tests found lost final replies, rejected helper calls
that stopped the parent, and unnecessary process restarts.
> - A completed child could also receive a new assignment wake that the
scheduler then cancelled.
> - This change fixes those boundaries and gives agents clearer teammate
instructions.
> - The tests retain strict completion and process-continuity
requirements.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A generated attachment comment could suppress an agent's final reply. A
known Codex helper could stop its parent when it requested a Paperclip
tool. Native Daytona processes restarted between turns because Paperclip
minted an unused GitHub broker token. Reassigning a completed child
queued a run that immediately cancelled. Revision instructions also
allowed agents to do work assigned to a named teammate themselves.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the final reply. Reject helper tool requests without borrowing
parent authority or stopping the parent. Keep an unconfigured sandbox
process alive between turns. Treat assignment-only changes to completed
tasks as metadata changes. Preserve explicit teammate assignments during
revisions.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the retained Runner E2E cases for file handoff, teammate reuse,
Daytona warm continuity, and Legacy Claude interview/plan acceptance.
The focused regression tests reproduce the reply, helper,
process-lifetime, and assignment-wake defects without provider calls.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The live lifetime and completion campaign used `db3857807`. This PR
replays the changes on master `c65fc9e3c`. See Verification for the
limits of that evidence.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local instances and native Runner sessions in Daytona
sandboxes.

Related work: #13546 handles a different queued-run issue after an
issue-lock compare-and-set failure. This PR prevents the unnecessary
assignment wake earlier. #13410 covers retained user services; this PR
covers the provider process. No duplicate fix was found.

## What Changed

- Exclude generated deliverable-binding comments from final-reply
deduplication. Preserve the attachment and explicit user-facing replies.
- Reject Paperclip tool and input requests from known Codex helper
threads without terminating the parent. Keep unknown-thread rejection
intact.
- Explain how to hire or reuse a persistent teammate and preserve named
delegation on revisions. Update generated protocol fixtures.
- Use stable, token-free GitHub wrappers for unconfigured native
sandboxes. Preserve credential isolation, configured-account rotation,
and cleanup after partial staging failures.
- Do not queue assignment-only wakes for done or cancelled tasks. Keep
explicit reopening behavior.
- Make warm-continuity fixtures create real review cards. Read the
persisted final response selected by production presentation logic.
Missing selected evidence still fails.

## Verification

- Before rebase: 560 focused route, native-executor, and launcher tests
passed. The new regressions were reproduced before their fixes.
- Live E2E: Legacy Claude interview/plan acceptance passed 3/3
repetitions. Daytona warm continuity passed 2/3 full repetitions. Each
successful run retained one process and provider session for all three
turns.
- The remaining Daytona repetition stopped after a same-URL browser
reload left the page blank. Both completed turns retained the same
process. Its failed verdict remains unchanged; this PR does not claim
the blank-page cause is fixed.
- Reports:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-lifetime-race-20260920/investigation.html
and
https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-behavior-followups-20260919-results/investigation.html
- Post-rebase `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. All 414
Runner E2E harness unit tests and its typecheck passed. Codex protocol
tests: 88 passed, 2 ignored.
- Latest-head CI: 55 successful checks and 2 intentional skips.
Greptile: 5/5 with no review threads. The unchanged workspace exposure
tests hit a fixed-port collision on the first CI attempt; their local
suite passed (25 tests, 3 platform skips), and the CI shard passed on
one retry.
- The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the full hosted
general and serialized test shards passed. It did not finish locally and
is not counted as a local full-suite pass.

## Risks

Configured GitHub accounts retain run-scoped credential rotation and can
still restart warm processes. That limitation requires a separate
design. Known provider helpers cannot use Paperclip coordination tools
directly; they must return findings to the parent. The delegation prompt
is an instruction, not an enforced guarantee; Codex Mini hiring/reuse
failures remain open. No schema or workflow changes are included.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository tools, code execution, and
parallel coding agents. The exact deployment suffix and context-window
size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9f30eb10dd fix: reduce chat latency and preserve managed session reuse (#13710)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and keeps their work attached to tasks.
> - Chat connectors carry user messages and agent replies between a
provider and those tasks.
> - Each extra startup and context reset delays a reply.
> - Managed account metadata was lost during adapter decoding, so
compatible follow-ups started fresh.
> - This branch fixes the reset and measures the remaining preparation,
execution, and delivery costs.
> - The changes must preserve account isolation, authorization, durable
output, and recovery ownership.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13699. The related service lifecycle work in #13410 and #13408 is
separate; this branch focuses on task-bound chat response latency.

**What happened?**

Managed AI follow-ups started new provider sessions even after their
configuration fingerprint stayed stable. The Codex codec removes unknown
fields. The resume check then read the removed credential identity and
treated it as a credential change.

**Expected behavior**

Compatible follow-ups resume the correct provider session. Changes to
credentials, responsible users, permissions, or task configuration
retain their reset behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a Slack connector with a managed AI connection.
2. Send a message, then send a same-thread follow-up.
3. Inspect the configuration reset reason and the provider session
identity.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on `2a99de80ec52db01eead901f28323926ceaf3c1d`.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud staging with a native Codex runner.

## What Changed

- Read saved credential identity before adapter decoding discards it.
- Remove the internal credential identity from adapter-facing session
params.
- Test the real Codex codec and missing, changed, or unmanaged identity
cases.
- Preserve configured warm Codex runners and flush refreshed credentials
after every turn.
- Fence detached or closing session handles from successor credential
ownership.
- Stage current Codex launch credentials after restoring durable session
history, uploading launch assets only once.
- Reuse a runner binary already in the retained sandbox only when its
SHA-256 matches the controller-owned artifact; still verify required
capabilities before launch.
- Lock the task before the run when saving results, preventing deadlocks
with task updates.
- Scope reusable projectless sandboxes to the company, environment,
task, agent, and runtime configuration; verify Daytona sentinels for
that scope.
- Admit a new authorized chat message after a fully committed failed run
and verified process cleanup.
- Send compact deltas for verified plain-text Slack continuations. Match
the actual prior run and current comment identity/body; exclude edited
historical comments and prior agent output, preserve genuine brief edits
and the full bootstrap fallback.
- Keep attachments, omitted input, questions, approvals, recovery, and
other providers on their existing framing.
- Document managed session compatibility, credential lifecycle, and
compact continuation boundaries.

## Verification

- Workspace/session coverage: 156 tests passed.
- Native session and credential ownership coverage: 390 tests passed,
including exact artifact reuse, mismatches, failed probes, timeouts, and
explicit artifact overrides.
- Explicit continuation and durable chat authorization coverage: 172
tests passed.
- Session resume and launch preparation coverage: 416 tests passed.
- Result persistence coverage: 15 tests passed. The new concurrency test
reproduced a PostgreSQL deadlock before the lock-order fix.
- Environment lifecycle coverage: 92 tests passed, including projectless
reuse and task/agent isolation at both selection and atomic handoff.
- Daytona plugin coverage: 237 tests passed; 6 gated tests skipped.
Standalone plugin build passed.
- Compact Slack continuation and native resume coverage: 69 tests
passed, including full-bootstrap retention, matching message
authors/bodies, current-delivery selection, rejection of duplicate
identities and historical comments, brief edits, and attachment/recovery
fallbacks.
- Final frozen-head `pnpm test:run` on repository-supported Node 26: 668
suites passed, 3 skipped, 1 failed; 12,797 tests passed and 82 skipped.
The sole failure was a local `socket hang up` in
`issue-recovery-actions.test.ts`, not an authorization assertion
mismatch. All 57 tests in that suite passed three fresh reruns, and the
suite passed latest-head CI. The full local invocation is therefore not
claimed green.
- An earlier Node 24 full run exposed an unrelated macOS symlink-cleanup
failure; that 11-test catalog suite passes on Node 26 and in CI. No test
behavior or timeout was relaxed.
- Full local typecheck and build passed. Latest-head CI is green;
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
- Two real Slack baseline replies took 25.1 and 24.6 seconds
(24.9-second mean). Three same-thread signed probes on this head took
23.8, 23.9, and 22.7 seconds (23.5-second mean). This is a small sample
and a modest wall-clock improvement, not a large or statistically
established speedup.
- In that same thread, uncached provider input fell from 8,514 tokens
before compact input to 694–765 tokens afterward. The current delivery
uses a 362-character delta; the full 19–21k-character bootstrap remains
available for failed resume. Verified runner artifact preparation fell
from about 1.2 seconds to 0.6 seconds.
- A fresh thread created a separate task, sandbox, and provider session
with full bootstrap (24.4 seconds). Its follow-up reused its own
sandbox/session and compact input (28.3 seconds, including 16 seconds of
model execution). Model variability and process startup remain
substantial.
- A signed duplicate webhook produced exactly one user comment, one
successful run, and one final Slack reply. Slack's API independently
confirmed the actual replies and a public task URL without an internal
or pool hostname.
- Earlier signed probes verified recovery after a failed run and reuse
across a server deployment. The final idle test observed Daytona report
the sandbox as stopped, then delivered a new reply in 19.9 seconds using
the same sandbox/provider-session identity and compact input. Slack’s
API confirmed that reply.
- Live probes use signed synthetic inbound webhooks and real outbound
Slack delivery, read back through Slack’s API. The final browser recheck
found the Mac locked and the Slack tab blocked by another extension, so
this is not claimed as full UI E2E proof.
- This is a review branch. Do not merge until the maintainer reviews it.

## Risks

- Incorrect session reuse could mix account or task context. Missing or
changed identities continue to reset, and existing authorization checks
remain in place.
- Warm mode remains opt-in. Remote warm mode requires a reusable sandbox
lease. Retained processes keep credentials until they close, so idle
expiry and ownership fences are required.
- A fresh user message may continue after a committed provider failure.
Approval, current authorization, process termination, and prior-result
checks remain required.
- Projectless sandbox reuse is task- and agent-scoped. Missing or
mismatched ownership cannot replace an existing lease; existing
workspace-scoped leases keep their scope. Opt-in reuse retains a sandbox
per task/agent, so provider auto-stop and deletion policies still
determine idle compute and storage costs. Fleet defaults are unchanged.
- Compact prompts apply only after proven resume and a matching
prior-run delta. Missing or specialized context falls back to full
input; fresh sessions always receive the full bootstrap.
- No schema or migration changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, tool use, and test
execution. The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not

DottaandPaperclip 2a99de80ec fix: supply public task links and preserve managed AI sessions (#13699)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Chat connectors deliver agent replies to external conversations.
> - Agents need a public task link when a user asks to open the task.
> - The prompt and task tools lacked that link, so an agent could invent
an internal address.
> - Managed AI credential directories also changed the session
fingerprint on each run.
> - This change supplies public task URLs and excludes only those
temporary directory values from the fingerprint.
> - Follow-up messages can reuse compatible sessions while real
configuration changes still reset them.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13680 and #13694 for the related Cloud-origin fixes. No duplicate
open PR was found.

**What happened?**

An external chat reply could contain an invented internal task URL. The
publication filter then removed the link. Follow-up runs also lost their
saved provider session because each managed credential home used a
different temporary path.

**Expected behavior**

Agents receive the current public board URL for a task. Temporary
credential directories do not reset an otherwise compatible session.
Account, credential, model, permission, and custom environment changes
still invalidate it.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use a chat connector with a managed AI connection.
2. Ask for the current task link.
3. Send a follow-up message with the same agent configuration.
4. Inspect the task URL and the session reset reason.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the source at b193077582.

**Deployment mode**

Cloud staging with a native runner.

## What Changed

- Supply an exact public task URL in fresh and resumed external-chat
context.
- Return a nullable `url` on task records in `get_task_context` and
`search_tasks`, including child tasks.
- Resolve the current claimed Cloud origin at use time. Preserve the
existing safe-URL filter and omit unsafe links.
- Normalize only the exact credential-home paths created by the managed
AI runtime when comparing session configuration. Do not change the
actual execution environment.
- Add regression tests and update the connector playbook.

## Verification

- 255 focused tests passed for public URLs, prompt context, AI
connections, and session configuration.
- 19 native task-tool tests passed, including public URL lookup, origin
changes, and unsafe URL rejection.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed locally. The full local test
run is still in progress; all CI test lanes passed at the final head.
- All 54 CI checks passed, with two optional jobs skipped. Greptile
scored 5/5 with no review comments.
- After merge, deploy the exact merged commit to the authorized staging
stack. Check a fresh Slack mention, a same-thread reply, the returned
task link, and the measured session reuse and response time.

## Risks

- Existing saved fingerprints can reset once after this change. Future
runs should reuse a compatible session.
- The fingerprint change applies to managed AI connections. Tests
preserve resets for real account, credential, model, permission, and
environment changes.
- A public task URL still requires normal Paperclip access. This change
grants no access and keeps internal URL filtering.
- This change does not remove all runner startup or checkpoint latency.
Staging measurements are still required.
- No schema or migration changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, tool use, and test
execution. The exact serving model ID and context-window size were not
exposed by this session.

DottaandPaperclip b193077582 fix: report Slack callback health correctly behind Cloud proxies (#13694)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Slack connections turn messages into governed agent runs and return
replies to Slack.
> - Remote runs must replace an incompatible sandbox runner with the
controller's packaged binary.
> - The fallback used a package-relative path that does not match the
vendored server layout.
> - Slack callback health also compared the internal proxy address with
the public callback address.
> - Master now contains the runner fallback fix; this pull request fixes
callback health and extends missing-runner regression coverage.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13677, #13680, #13691, and #13686.

**What happened?**

A packaged controller stopped a Slack-triggered remote run with
`runner_remote_artifact_unavailable` when the sandbox runner needed
replacement. Working Slack callbacks also showed a stale URL warning
behind the Cloud gateway.

**Expected behavior**

The controller stages its packaged runner when needed. Callback health
uses the observed public address and still detects real address changes.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a packaged server with a sandbox that has an older runner or no
runner.
2. Send a Slack mention to an agent that uses that sandbox.
3. Route signed Slack callbacks through a claimed Cloud gateway that
rewrites the upstream host.
4. Check the run and the Slack callback health panel.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on master at `aeef493f4a7603b7b1254421b80fb00212982390`. The
fix branch also includes #13691.

**Deployment mode**

Packaged server with a Cloud gateway and a Daytona sandbox.

## What Changed

- Extend the controller-owned runner fallback tests with a missing
sandbox binary case; retain the fix now merged in #13686.
- Prefer dedicated gateway diagnostic headers that survive provider
rewrites of standard forwarded headers. Use validated host hints only
for callback-health evidence on claimed Cloud instances after provider
acceptance. Preserve request bodies, routing, authentication, and
configured callback URLs.
- Cover current, stale, and missing sandbox runners, all Slack callback
surfaces, rejected callbacks, malformed proxy hints, real host and port
changes, and the existing self-hosted behavior.
- Document the artifact lookup and callback-health boundaries.

## Verification

- Native session executor and binary resolver suites: 379 tests passed
after merging current master (`45c99a0d0`).
- Targeted callback integration suite with disposable PostgreSQL: 4
tests passed before rebase.
- Full `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after merging current
master. The full local suite passed 12,668 tests; one suite failed to
start its disposable PostgreSQL. Rerunning that suite alone passed all
31 tests.
- The built server resolver selected the executable under
`server/dist/vendor/paperclip-runner/bin/`.
- Final callback regression: all 4 targeted integration tests pass,
covering provider header rewrites, default ports, uppercase/trailing-dot
hosts, and ignored self-hosted hints.
- Live staging proof of the runner fix: a previously failed Slack thread
recovered, a new mention received its requested response, and the
account-connect command succeeded. Unsigned callbacks returned 401.
- Live browser and Slack acceptance passed: generated callback URLs,
account linking, a new mention, an interactive question and answer, and
all three callback-health indicators. The connector was activated
through the onboarding UI.
- All 54 latest-head checks pass, two optional checks are skipped, and
Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.

## Risks

- Runner fallback must select a binary for the remote platform. This
preserves explicit remote artifact overrides and the existing capability
checks.
- Proxy headers are not identity proof. They are used only for
diagnostics on claimed Cloud instances after the provider accepts the
request. Self-hosted instances ignore them. Wrong public hosts and ports
still warn.
- No database migration or new public API contract.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex. Used reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser/native-app testing. Exact model variant and
context window were not exposed by the session.

DottaandPaperclip 7bc03e0acd feat(runner): default harnesses to full auto and support task reassignment (#13686)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Agent Chat uses native runners to save plans and coordinate tasks.
> - Provider defaults differed across harnesses and could stop
unattended work at a second permission gate.
> - Agents also lacked a dedicated tool to move existing work to another
agent safely.
> - This change defaults native providers to full automatic permission
for provider tools and connected tools.
> - A guarded reassignment tool preserves task identity, stops the
previous run, and schedules the new owner once.
> - Codex and Claude chat acceptance tests now use production permission
defaults.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Native runner, ACPX Claude permission policy, task authority, and Agent
Chat acceptance tests.

**Problem or motivation**

A user can authorize an agent to save a plan or create a task, but
Claude's default provider gate can still stop that action. Reassignment
needs a dedicated operation that preserves context and avoids concurrent
owners or unintended recovery runs.

**Proposed solution**

Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex to
`never`. Apply the defaults at configuration, execution, fresh-session,
resume, driver, and proxy boundaries. Keep explicit permission settings
and server-side company, claim, task-mode, and approval checks. Add
`reassign_task` with version checks, durable idempotency, audited
cancellation, and guarded successor scheduling.

**Alternatives considered**

A Paperclip-only allowlist still blocks provider tools and other
connections during unattended work. Full automatic permission is the
requested product default. Recreating a task discards its identity and
history. Updating assignment without stopping the previous run can leave
two agents working on the same task.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing planning, delegated work, governed tool
access, and recovery features. It adds no new service or schema
migration. Recent related tasks and open PRs were checked for duplicate
work.

**Additional context**

Related: #13678 (Agent Chat tools and recovery), #13677 (remote runner
startup). The stacked legacy-adapter companion is #13693. This also
fixes the deployed-server artifact fallback needed to stage the current
runner binary.

## What Changed

- Default Claude/ACPX to `approve-all`, OpenCode to `allow`, and Codex
to `never`, including missing settings at direct driver and proxy entry
points. These defaults cover provider tools and connected tools.
Preserve explicitly configured restrictive modes.
- Include assigned approval reads using canonical side-effect
classifications, so verifying a recorded approval does not trigger
another provider gate. Paperclip approval decisions still enforce
controller authority.
- Carry the new permission mode through server configuration, execution
contracts, recovery identity, TypeScript, and Rust. Keep
`approve-paperclip` as an optional restricted mode, with exact SDK rules
and closed unknown requests. It is not a default.
- Add `reassign_task` to the semantic catalog, controller, mock
authority, and generated contracts.
- Guard reassignment with company authorization, expected owner and
version, protected-state checks, and durable retry receipts.
- Honor explicit backlog task creation atomically with the initial plan,
without scheduling a wake. Preserve backlog holds regardless of
dependency readiness.
- Stop active work before changing ownership. Restore the prior owner
through a guarded, idempotent wake if final handoff validation fails.
Keep intentional reassignment stops out of failure recovery. Preserve
backlog and blocked states without waking them early.
- Add authorization, concurrency, replay, stop, and permission boundary
regressions. Add Codex and Claude chat reassignment cases and run native
chat cases with production defaults.
- Clarify shared runner guidance: save plans and Paperclip documents
directly with `write_document`; create and register a local file only
when a downloadable file is requested.
- Document provider defaults and the operator choices for existing
agents.

## Verification

- Current head `d82fbb0f03546d27cecf072250e4172e0b1ee662`: **55 checks
passed**, with two intentional skips. [PR
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13686/checks).
- Greptile reviewed that exact head at **5/5**. The security reviewer
acknowledged the intended full-auto default, and the acknowledged
discussions are resolved.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed locally
after rebasing onto current master. Targeted adapter/server, runner,
API, default/resume, and heartbeat configuration tests passed.
- **All six real-provider acceptance cases passed on their first
attempt, with cleanup passing:** plan handoff, task reassignment, and
backlog creation/status, each on native Claude and Codex. Evidence
records Claude's effective `approve-all` mode. [Campaign and
downloadable
evidence](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35469926548).
- The live campaign tested combined revision
`a37881c824dcd7170380fc4b788732fc743e5da7`. The final PR heads add only
a heartbeat test expectation correction; application code is unchanged
from that live-tested revision.
- The campaign's result-enforcement job passed. Its separate report
publisher failed because the trusted workflow's `patchedDependencies`
configuration differs from its frozen lockfile. All six results and
screenshots remain available as GitHub artifacts. The overall manual
workflow is red for this publishing failure.
- Full-suite coverage is supplied by the passing CI partitions. The
separate unsharded local run was stopped after the corresponding CI
partitions passed; it is not counted as a completed local run.
- Reassignment tests cover stale state, cross-company access, denied
authority, cancellation failure, compensating wake, and idempotent
retries. Backlog tests verify the original creation audit, saved plan,
exact task count, and absence of task-bound runs.

## Risks

- Agents with no explicit permission mode now receive full provider tool
permission, including connected tools. This is a deliberate broad
default. Existing explicit restrictive modes still apply. Controller
authorization, company isolation, workspace boundaries, and Paperclip
governance remain in force.
- Reassignment crosses run cancellation and task ownership transactions.
Durable stop intent, revalidation, audit receipts, and guarded queue
dispatch cover interruptions and retries.
- The new permission enum requires a current runner artifact. The remote
artifact fallback uses the same resolved controller binary for upload
and execution.
- Live provider behavior remains subject to the selected model. Targeted
live results do not qualify the full catalog.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with code execution and repository tools.
The exact deployment model ID and context-window size are not exposed in
this session.

DottaandPaperclip 04546c82d5 fix(runner): reconnect Daytona sessions after controller restart (#13691)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner can execute a task inside a Daytona sandbox.
> - The sandbox can keep running when the Paperclip controller restarts.
> - Recovery treated sandbox process IDs as local process IDs and
selected the wrong recovery path.
> - Live verification also found races between startup, shutdown, and
queued task cleanup.
> - This pull request verifies the existing remote owner and orders
those transitions.
> - Users can continue the same task and provider session after a
controller restart.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The Daytona `recover-controller` cases failed with
`runner_state_identity_mismatch`. Remote process IDs can be absent on
the controller or collide with unrelated local processes. Recovery then
looked for remote state in the local runner directory. Later turns could
also start before the previous executor released its sandbox resources.

**Expected behavior**

Reconnect to the original sandbox and authenticated runner. Preserve the
task, provider session, and queued comments. Reject a replacement
sandbox or mismatched identity. Do not start another provider during
reattachment.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the `everyday-workflows` `recover-controller` case for
`runner-codex` or `runner-acpx-claude` in Daytona. The browser creates a
Python tool, requests a revision, restarts the controller during
execution, and queues another revision. It then downloads and tests the
final ZIP.

Related: #13682 is the preceding operational fix. #13291 addresses
legacy sandbox conversation recovery, a different execution path. #13666
includes broader run-capacity work; this change guards cleanup of an
existing native task executor.

## What Changed

- Add remote runner recovery without interpreting sandbox PIDs on the
controller.
- Verify the original provider lease, remote workspace, durable state,
process marker, and authenticated PRP authority before adoption.
- Compare the process marker with live Linux boot identity and start
ticks to reject PID reuse. Read virtual proc files through the
guaranteed Node runtime; unavailable proof blocks adoption without
blocking a fresh launch.
- Make the E2E supervisor own the actual server process so forced
restart cannot leave a late database closer behind.
- Scope the chat delivery lease test to its own fixture instead of
draining other tests’ pending deliveries.
- Preserve provider-attempt counts and recorded evidence during
reattachment.
- Serialize an idle-session checkpoint with admission of the next native
turn.
- Wait for an in-progress startup to acknowledge restart detachment.
Fail after a bounded deadline if it cannot.
- Keep a queued comment waiting until the previous native task executor
releases its resources. Allow unrelated tasks to continue.
- Update the Daytona image's resolved lock digest to match current
dependency manifests.
- Add classifier, ownership, process, startup, checkpoint, and
queued-admission regression tests. Document recovery behavior.

## Verification

- 415 focused tests passed across native execution, restart recovery,
workspace synchronization, queued admission, and real-process restart
tests. The final Node-based fingerprint change passed all 375
native-session tests.
- Runner harness unit tests: 394 passed. Chat integration shard 2: 335
passed after fixture isolation.
- The exact fingerprint command succeeded twice in a disposable Daytona
sandbox and returned the same identity; the sandbox was deleted.
- 11 real-process restart integration tests passed, including absent and
colliding remote PIDs.
- Repository typecheck and final build passed. Broad local checks found
machine-dependent database startup and timing failures; focused retries
passed. The final-revision PR pipeline is green. One unrelated browser
shard hit a five-second blank-page timeout on the first run and passed
its targeted retry.
- Final-revision local headed browser E2E:
`everyday-workflows.runner-acpx-claude.daytona.recover-controller`
passed on attempt 1 in 4.7 minutes, **40/40 checks**. Manual browser
inspection confirmed Done, all three ZIPs, and delivery of the queued
follow-up. All three runs succeeded using the same provider session. The
harness downloaded and independently tested the final artifact.
- Final-revision Daytona campaign:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35463999611 —
**Codex passed first attempt (4.8 minutes); ACPX Claude passed first
attempt (6.1 minutes)**. Campaign aggregation/publication is finishing;
both test jobs succeeded.
- Greptile reviewed `beb08d8493b3286f5bb988dead369ff8c96a395d`: **5/5**,
no open findings.
- Staging browser verification is pending selection of a disposable
staging instance and removal of a Chrome extension UI block.

## Risks

- Recovery now depends on the original sandbox remaining available. A
replacement or mismatched identity still blocks adoption.
- Shutdown waits up to 30 seconds for a native startup to reach a safe
detach point. An unfinished startup returns a clear failure instead of a
false detach receipt.
- Queued native work on the same task waits for cleanup. Unrelated tasks
remain eligible.
- The image digest update rebuilds the Daytona runtime image. No
database migration or public API change is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, code execution, and
browser tools. The runtime does not expose the exact deployed model ID
or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip c1f6c3310a fix(runner): repair catalog runtime and grading boundaries (#13676)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages tasks across persistent agent sessions.
> - The full Runner E2E catalog exposed failures in session restoration,
tool validation, and test controls.
> - These failures prevented valid work from resuming or made a valid
interaction fail the test.
> - Invalid completion reports also reached finalization before the
provider received useful feedback.
> - This pull request repairs those boundaries without changing
production prompts or approval policy.
> - Focused regressions and fresh paid cases verify each fix.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Follow-up to #13655. Stacked on the trusted worker prerequisite fix in
#13674.

**What happened?**

Read-only skill uploads failed in resumed Daytona sandboxes. Invalid
criterion IDs escaped tool validation. A progress event could park a run
before its tool response settled. Partial question forms hid required
answers. Two test assumptions rejected valid plan keys or failed to
navigate an optional question page.

**What did you expect to happen?**

Resume identical skill bundles, give repairable feedback for malformed
completion calls, preserve in-flight tool responses, show all required
questions, and test the rendered workflow accurately.

**Steps to reproduce**

Inspect the failed cases in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353. Fresh
campaigns:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35444497313 and
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35445327618. The
later backup cleanup is tested in
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35446477285.
Combined report:
https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-operational-35444497313/investigation.html.

## What Changed

- Compare immutable archives before reusing read-only Daytona bundles.
Reject corrupted content and preserve unrelated files.
- Validate exact criterion IDs before accepting completion. OpenCode
returns a tool error instead of emitting a result that terminates
runnerd.
- Complete the activity item for rejected OpenCode calls.
- Remove retired read-only harness backups without altering live files
or following symlinks. A fresh paid rerun exposed this later
checkpoint-cleanup failure.
- Exclude progress messages from the governed-wait completion boundary.
- Reject newly created question forms that omit questions or contradict
their stored answer semantics. Keep historical rows readable.
- Navigate all rendered question pages and recognize revision-bound
descriptive plan keys in the continuation suite.

## Verification

- Harness unit suite: 383 tests pass. Harness typecheck passes.
- Native session executor and status corpus: 381 tests pass.
- Shared question and interaction-service tests: 42 pass; native
question bridge and executor: 360 pass. Daytona sync: 21 pass, including
foreign-owner archives and corrupted immutable content.
- OpenCode driver: 29 tests pass, including wrong, missing, and
duplicate criterion IDs followed by a valid retry.
- Repository typecheck and build pass. The later OpenCode activity fix
also passes its package build.
- The latest commit passes all 52 PR checks and Greptile 5/5. The
backup-cleanup fix also passes 351 related local tests and server
typecheck. Local full-suite coverage completed across runs.
adapter-auth-signal-routes and pipelines-routes encountered transient
socket resets; both pass on retry, and all remaining 24 serialized files
pass. Paid reruns are complete: 27 of 29 unique cases pass using the
latest recording per case. Both Daytona controller-restart cases still
fail with runner_state_identity_mismatch; the report describes this
remaining runtime issue. Eight affected cells need #13674 on master
before their rerun.

## Risks

Creation rejects inconsistent dual question representations but does not
change historical records. Immutable bundle comparison must verify bytes
before skipping extraction. Completion feedback must use the contract
bound to the current run. Durable suspension and approval checks remain
enforced. Production prompts are unchanged.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with repository inspection, code editing, and
test execution. The exact API model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 36dbb7ed1c fix: harden agent chat runner tools and recovery (#13678)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat turns discussion into plans, tasks, reviews, and hires.
> - These workflows need reliable tool results and task context on the
native runner.
> - Live Claude and Codex tests exposed lost retry requests, invalid
project inputs, and a child startup crash.
> - Recovery also exposed a misleading retry action and missing child
task context.
> - This pull request fixes those paths and adds regression coverage.
> - Agents can continue the original request and operators can inspect a
stopped run.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A failed Agent Chat retry could lose the user's question. Project
creation accepted unsupported icons in its tool schema. Codex could stop
when a helper's MCP startup event arrived before its thread lineage. A
stopped task offered Retry even when the server required execution
reconciliation. Resumed agents could miss existing delegated tasks.
Hiring and review instructions did not describe the native runner's
available tools and source requirements.

**Expected behavior**

Retries retain the selected request. Tool schemas match the API. Child
startup information does not gain authority over the parent or stop it.
Recovery actions match the server's requirements. Task context exposes
existing child work. Handoffs contain the material the assignee needs.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Enable experimental Agent Chat in an isolated development instance.
2. Configure native Codex and ACPX Claude agents on Paperclip Runner.
3. Ask for a plan, revise it, approve task creation, and request a hire
and status report.
4. Retry a failed chat turn and check that it answers the original
request.
5. Start a Codex helper before its thread lineage arrives.
6. Resume a delegated task and inspect its existing children and saved
output.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The live failures were found at `f2c5e54dc`. This branch is rebased onto
`86b7ee992`.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local development instance with native Codex and ACPX Claude.
No database migration or default permission change.

Related work: Refs #13284 for Agent Chat. Refs #13438 for the
server-side API receipt fix, which this branch preserves. The transport
also accepts the earlier HTTP receipt format. Refs #13655 for the
current Codex continuation and helper lineage handling, which this
branch also preserves.

## What Changed

- Preserve failed Agent Chat wake-comment IDs and session generation
from the authorized source run. Reject pre-reset retries.
- Wrap API receipts with the correct semantic call identity. Test
current and earlier receipt formats through real HTTP and runnerd.
- Classify early child MCP startup notifications as information. Keep
foreign completion and result events rejected.
- Constrain project icons on both tool surfaces and regenerate the
protocol contracts.
- Include bounded, company-scoped visible direct child tasks in task
context. Filter hidden tasks before applying the limit.
- Replace the rejected Retry action with Inspect run for native
continuation reconciliation.
- Update hiring, review handoff, status reporting, and development
guidance.

## Verification

- Live tests covered Claude and Codex questions, plan revisions,
approval, task creation, hiring, status, chat reset, failures, and
recovery.
- The recovered task produced its saved checklist and example. A later
follow-up read the existing child tasks and document without creating
more work.
- Full build, repository type checks, token gates, 142 focused tests,
188 runner TypeScript tests, and the Rust notification/descendant
regressions passed after rebase. The separate local full-suite run was
stopped after the complete CI suite passed.
- Review fixes passed the updated route, tool-authority, and icon
regression tests plus server type checking.
- Required commands: `pnpm build`, `pnpm -r typecheck`,
`PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false pnpm test:run`, and `pnpm
check:token-gates`.
- At `4ce8047b0`, all 55 applicable GitHub checks pass (two Storybook
checks are intentionally skipped), including the complete
general/serialized test matrix, runner tests, browser tests, build, type
checks, Docker checks, and canary dry run.
- Fresh Greptile review is 5/5 on `4ce8047b0`; all three findings were
fixed with regressions and there are no unresolved review threads.
- Two initial CI service-startup timeouts passed unchanged in local
reproductions and in the latest CI run.

## Risks

- The new event classification is limited to MCP startup information. It
does not authorize foreign task completion, results, or tool requests.
- Task context returns at most 100 direct child tasks and reports
truncation. It excludes hidden tasks and other companies. This improves
delegation context but does not enforce semantic duplicate detection.
- Native reconciliation still requires an operator to inspect and record
prior outcomes. The new link does not replace the recovery API.
- API tools remain opt-in. Claude permission choices remain explicit. No
default permission, schema, or workflow changes.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with reasoning, repository editing, code
execution, API tools, and browser testing. The exact deployment
identifier and context-window size are not exposed in this session. Live
acceptance agents used OpenAI `gpt-5.6-sol` and Anthropic
`claude-sonnet-4-6`.

DottaandPaperclip 9335b7db10 fix(runner): validate inherited environments and replace stale sandbox binaries (#13677)
Resolve the effective environment for account adoption and adapter tests. Preserve saved-agent overrides when the request omits environmentId, and treat explicit null as inheritance from the instance.

Reject sandbox runners that lack unlimited-runtime and connection-lease-renewal capabilities. Stage the bundled runner before launch when the image binary is stale.

Add regression coverage for environment precedence, fail-closed validation, adapter switches, API-key reverification, and runner artifact fallback. Document the operational workaround for older controllers.

DottaandPaperclip 43acbcc398 fix(runner): preserve sessions and complete question and approval continuations (#13655)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner connects task state to provider sessions.
> - Follow-up turns must retain provider memory and carry new user
direction.
> - Lost session IDs caused repeated context and extra input tokens.
> - Native question answers and approval races could leave valid work
blocked.
> - This pull request repairs those paths and adds regression coverage.
> - Agents can continue accepted work without repeating the conversation
or losing the user's answer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13574. That merged PR shortened continuation prompts and moved
question instructions into tool documentation. This change preserves
sessions and fixes failures exposed by broader testing. Related runtime
work: #13408 and #13410.

**What happened?**

Native follow-up turns could lose the provider session ID. Completion
guidance could replace the original task with its latest comment. Claude
native questions could remain pending after the user answered. Approval
during a running tool call could suspend the run before the tool
response arrived. Onboarding and chat handoff instructions also caused
repeated planning or missing plan documents.

**Expected behavior**

Reuse a valid provider session. Send only new events when that session
already has the history. Preserve the task requirements and apply later
user direction. Store the question answer and deliver it to the waiting
run. Finish governed tool responses before suspending. Execute the
accepted plan without asking for the same approval again.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the continuation, local-session-integrity, first-task, and
agent-chat suites with native Codex and Claude. Include
provider-question-bridge, accept-while-running, and plan-handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This branch is based on master d54b75011. The active full catalog run
tests 4e75881db. Later review fixes have separate regression coverage.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local instances and Daytona sandboxes in the existing Runner
full-stack E2E harness.

## What Changed

- Retain provider session identity across turns and late usage
snapshots. Send new continuation events on session reuse, with full
context available for a fresh session.
- Preserve task requirements and later direction in completion guidance.
Return the current contract revision after a stale completion
submission.
- Bridge native Claude questions to saved Paperclip cards. Submit
answers through the saved card and resume the same run.
- Delay governed suspension until tool results settle. Add a
deterministic test barrier for approval during an active run.
- Clarify free-text question examples, explicit onboarding plans, and
execution of accepted chat plans.
- Fix continuation readiness, verified output evidence, and declared
screenshot collection.
- Qualify the legacy Claude test CLI at 2.1.277. The old 2.1.19 CLI did
not discover mounted skills. Update the existing workflow pin and
isolated launcher together.
- Refresh the Daytona image lockfile integrity pin after reviewing
master patch updates.
- Carry continuation mode as runtime metadata instead of inferring it
from user-visible text. Install the test Claude CLI without lifecycle
scripts.

## Verification

- Targeted paid verification: 20/20 cases passed across
local-environment campaigns before the rebase.
[Report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-seven-fixes-35397904249/).
- Harness checks: 379 unit tests passed; harness typecheck passed.
- Latest-head PR checks: 55 passed, two intentionally skipped. Greptile
is 5/5; the security scan passes.
- Review regressions: 350 executor tests and 204 session/driver tests
passed. A script-free Claude install was verified with the actual CLI.
- Full catalog, including the explicit-only everyday suite: [run
35417932353](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35417932353).
Completed: **164/205 passed; 41 failed**. [Full dashboard and failure
investigation](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/).
Includes 204 case artifacts and one pre-case GitHub authorization
timeout; missing evidence is not scored as a pass. The full run tested
`4e75881db`; Final-head metadata/CLI smoke cases both passed. In the
separate [six infrastructure
retries](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35419769343),
the GitHub timeout case passed and all five Docker preflight failures
repeated. [Follow-up
dashboard](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-full-catalog-35417932353/follow-up/).
- Full local typecheck and build passed on the rebased branch. The full
local unit run completed with 657 passing files, two test timeouts and
one suite setup timeout. All three affected files passed when rerun in
isolation (84 tests). The first full local run was not clean.
- Focused regression coverage includes the live question bridge,
same-run response delivery, UI routing, stale revisions, approval
overlap, and session reuse.

## Full-catalog follow-ups

- Test infrastructure: 14 Claude everyday cells probe an absent host
CLI; six cells failed pre-task GitHub/Docker qualification (GitHub
passes on retry; all five Docker cases repeat; the workflow preflight
allowlist omits their case IDs); five ACPX Codex cells cannot create
sandbox namespaces.
- Runtime: four OpenCode completion-criteria mismatches masked by
shutdown errors, one service-approval suspension failure; three Daytona
recovery failures encounter existing skill files; one duplicate
completion wake.
- Confirmed test defects: question pagination and a noncanonical plan
document key.
- Product/behavior: mismatched visible/required question sets, an
attachment instead of the requested task document, one lone-option
onboarding question, early completion instead of review, and a Codex
Mini completion-schema failure.
- The report job itself fails on trusted master’s stale patch/lock
configuration. The linked report is rebuilt with the shared renderer
from original cell results and public fixture screenshots; it excludes
private snapshots, logs and traces.

These are investigated follow-ups, not silently regraded passes.
First-task passed 51/52. The PR checks are green independently of the
broader catalog’s behavioral/infrastructure failures.

## Risks

- Session reuse depends on a valid provider identity and context
coverage. Fresh-session fallback and reset tests cover this boundary.
- Native question delivery spans saved interaction state and a live
provider run. Tests cover duplicate events, closed runs, and same-run
answers.
- Provider behavior varies. The full paid catalog may expose failures
beyond these targeted fixes; those results will be reported without
relaxing valid approval or output checks.
- The legacy Claude version update is limited to test infrastructure. No
database migration is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, code execution,
and browser/E2E tools. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 84fe89906d fix: complete native agent review handoffs (#13581)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Native execution uses durable runs, issue locks, wake requests, and
typed tool authority
> - A child can finish with a native agent review request while its
original assignee stays responsible for the work
> - The reviewer then needs a bounded execution path that can inspect
the child, record one decision, and finish safely
> - Before this change, assignee-only gates rejected the reviewer or
left the parent waiting after the child review ended
> - This pull request adds typed reviewer admission, scoped reviewer
tools, durable wake and recovery handling, and parent continuation
evidence
> - The benefit is that native review handoffs complete without changing
child ownership or granting broad mutation access

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #13314
Refs: #13574

**What happened?**

A native child run could report `needs_review` for an agent reviewer.
The reviewer wake then failed assignee and execution-lock checks. The
child remained in review and the parent remained waiting.

**Expected behavior**

The named reviewer should receive one durable wake. The reviewer should
inspect the child and resolve the exact review card. The child assignee
should stay unchanged. The parent should receive the recorded review
outcome after the child reaches its terminal state.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a native task with a different named agent reviewer.
2. Keep the child assigned to its original worker.
3. Let the worker finish with a native completion review request.
4. Start the durable reviewer wake.
5. Resolve the review and finish the reviewer run.
6. Observe the child and parent state.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Base: `e926b1301`. PR head: `b31ad9ab8`. Live reviewer verification
source: `eea171aae`.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source.

**Installation method**

Built from source (pnpm build).

**Agent adapter(s) involved**

Not adapter-specific (core bug).

**Access context**

Both.

**Database mode**

Embedded PostgreSQL in the isolated live test fixtures.

## What Changed

- Add server-validated native review assignment facts.
- Admit only the exact company, issue, source run, decision, revision,
addressee, and resolver policy.
- Give reviewer runs a narrow set of Paperclip read and resolve tools.
File and shell access follow the configured agent and environment
policy, so reviewers can run tests.
- Separate server-owned reviewer instructions from untrusted persisted
review data. Escape the data boundary; retain server-enforced
authorization.
- Keep the child assignee unchanged. Atomically claim the reviewer run,
wake request, and issue execution lock. A competing lock prevents
provider startup.
- Require the exact running reviewer session and current issue lock to
resolve its assigned card. Reject missing, unrelated, or terminal
reviewer runs.
- Add durable reviewer wake, lock, stale-card, and abandoned-run
recovery handling.
- Prevent duplicate native wake dispatches during deferred admission and
recovery.
- Carry accepted or rejected child review outcomes into parent task
context and continuation evidence.
- Add focused server, runner, and native protocol coverage.
- Preserve upstream continuation rules. Add child review decisions as
separate evidence, while keeping real human answers in their own field.
- Return actionable completion validation feedback to both providers.
Permit a corrected completion after rejection. Keep strict terminal
acknowledgment validation.
- Apply exclusive shared-workspace locks to sandbox environments. Local
and SSH folders can run concurrently, including when old settings
request serialization.
- Repair test timing, native event parsing, and the review artifact
assertion. Allow a valid reject, correct, and accept review sequence.
Check the accepted card against its reviewer run and decision. Keep
polling within the existing deadline when review acceptance precedes the
parent wake projection; report a specific missing-continuation error at
timeout.
- Apply the ACPX pending-call limit to reserved finish/block calls, with
capacity-release and cancellation tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm build`: passed on `eea171aae`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed on `eea171aae`.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 359 tests passed in 30 files on
`b31ad9ab8`; runner E2E typecheck also passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Focused DB review, reviewer authority, and prompt-boundary checks: 31
tests passed. They cover invalid reviewer runs, competing locks, atomic
admission, duplicate claims, and valid resolution.
- Heartbeat, workspace, and recovery checks: 30 tests passed.
- ACPX sidecar suite: 27 tests passed. Moving the capacity guard back
below reserved handling makes both new regression cases fail.
- Four focused live continuation checks passed on their first attempt at
`f15f55e0a`: answer updates scope (6/6 each on Codex and Claude) and
question tool guidance (12/12 each). These cases do not use the reviewer
prompt path changed afterward.
- Fresh Codex and Claude review-handoff checks passed all 29 native
checks each on their first attempt at `eea171aae`. Both runs received
the expected fixed prompt and completed cleanup. Only the six selected
live flows were tested; no full paid provider catalog run.
- The final commit only extracts the existing test-harness timeout
diagnostic into a shared helper and adds positive and negative coverage.
Removing the accepted-review guard makes two regression assertions fail;
restoring it passes all six timeout tests. Production runtime code,
prompts, deadlines, and grading criteria are unchanged by this final
commit.
- Deadline regressions: a valid continuation delayed 20 seconds succeeds
within its 30-second unit-test deadline; an absent wake returns a
specific candidate-failure diagnostic at that same deadline. Both
assertions failed before the fix. Production E2E deadlines remain
unchanged.
- Historical native failures remain recorded: Docker availability
failures; a valid reject/correct/accept sequence that the first-card
grader misread; and a test that rejected the gap between accepted child
review and parent wake projection. No failed result was regraded. The
latest tests use a protected reference to the pinned Docker image and
the unchanged artifact oracle and time limits.
- Full repository verification runs in GitHub CI. Local verification
uses the focused suites above, full build, and full typecheck. An
unchanged Codex shutdown timing test failed once in CI, passed in
isolation, and its full shard passed on the final commit without changes
to that test or its causal code path. The original failure is retained
in the verification record. Greptile reviewed `b31ad9ab8` at 5/5 with no
outstanding actionable findings. All review threads are resolved. All
current-head CI gates passed, including the isolated native runner
Docker build (55 successful checks; two skipped by the workflow).

## Risks

- Reviewer admission depends on exact persisted decision and interaction
bindings. A stale or changed card is rejected.
- Paperclip control-plane tools are limited to inspection and review
resolution. This is not a filesystem permission boundary; provider file
and shell access retain the configured policy.
- Deferred wake recovery changes dispatch receipt coalescing. A
scheduler regression could delay a continuation if the receipt state is
wrong.
- Parent review outcomes are evidence for the model. They do not grant
tool authority or change issue ownership.
- This change does not address legacy lease-hold handoff behavior.

> Roadmap review: native execution, review gates, and durable recovery
are existing roadmap capabilities. This PR completes a narrow
reliability path for those capabilities.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` with reasoning, tool use, and code execution.
OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded implementation, review, and
journal work. Context window size is not exposed by this session. Live
test subjects use `gpt-5.6-sol` and `claude-sonnet-5`; they are not the
PR authors.

DottaandPaperclip e26d787928 Shorten continuation prompts and verify question tool guidance (#13574)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents must continue tasks using user answers without losing earlier
requirements or approval gates.
> - The wake prompt mixed human decisions with prior tool evidence and
repeated detailed question instructions.
> - Those instructions belong with the question tool, with a short
routing hint in the wake.
> - The Runner evals need to prove that answers, approvals, and
completed work survive later turns.
> - This PR shortens the prompts, separates authenticated answers, and
adds continuation tests with useful screenshots.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13517. This is a follow-up to the merged onboarding skill and
Runner E2E work. Related #13539 covers responses received while a run is
active; this PR preserves its cases and adds continuation coverage.
Existing continuation/recovery and question PRs were searched; none
covers this prompt/documentation and eval change.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The instructions sent when an agent continues a task, the native
human-input tool documentation, and the evidence captured by Runner
full-stack E2E.

**Current behavior**

The wake repeats a long question-tool guide. Human answers appear
alongside untrusted prior results. Screenshot capture can finish at DOM
load while the task still shows a spinner, even when backend behavior
checks pass.

**Proposed behavior**

Keep earlier requirements unless the user changes them. Treat
clarification as distinct from approval. Give authenticated human
responses a scoped field. Keep tool and agent results as evidence. Put
detailed question behavior in the tool descriptor and retain one routing
sentence in the native wake. Wait for the correct task and loaded
conversation before taking screenshots.

**Reason and benefit**

Reduce repeated prompt text and make authority boundaries clear. Test
that real question cards, later answers, approval gates, and completed
child tasks still work. Make screenshots useful for human review.

## What Changed

- Shorten shared continuation instructions for legacy and native
runners. Separate authenticated user responses from tool results and
agent summaries.
- Remove the detailed question guide from native wake prompts. Keep its
behavior in the canonical `request_human_input` descriptor and existing
payload schema. Regenerate semantic contracts and fixture hashes.
- Add five continuation cases across four local profiles. Add a
dedicated choice-then-text case for native Codex and native Claude. All
22 cells join the shared full E2E campaign.
- Cover revised scope, clarification without approval, hostile
instructions in a handoff file, and reuse of a completed child after
restart. Keep production instructions and fixed user facts.
- Capture continuation screenshots only when the intended task and
conversation have rendered. Add provider-free browser regressions for
loaders and wrong-task capture.
- Preserve current master’s extra tool and onboarding cases. The default
campaign now contains 166 cells; 35 manual everyday cells remain
separate.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed after replay on current master.
- `pnpm test:e2e:runner:unit`: 340 passed. Harness typecheck passed.
- `PAPERCLIP_PLAYWRIGHT_CHANNEL=chrome pnpm
test:e2e:runner:browser-support`: 4 passed. These tests failed against
immediate screenshot capture and passed after the fix.
- Focused continuation and native-input tests: 36 passed locally. The
tool-authority suite could not initialize embedded PostgreSQL locally,
including one isolated retry; its 17 assertions did not run locally. The
full remote server shards passed on this PR commit.
- `pnpm build`: passed after replay on current master. `pnpm test:run`
was attempted locally but hit the same embedded PostgreSQL
initialization failure; the remaining local run was stopped after
complete remote CI passed. This is not claimed as a full local test
pass.
- [Full PR
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35232755685):
passed on `6a22128c14f4552d0613a6d9a25955db4a1ed02f`. All
server/chat/workspace/serialized shards, browser shards, Runner checks,
typecheck, build, canary and policy checks passed. The isolated native
Runner build and security checks also passed: 57 successful checks, with
two expected Storybook skips.
- Greptile reviewed the exact PR head at 5/5, with no findings or
unresolved review threads. The PR has no merge conflicts.
- [Live question-docs
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-question-docs-35227647794/):
3/3 passed at source `83dd132f2` before replay on master. Native Codex
and Claude each asked a choice, waited, asked a text question, and saved
both answers. Claude also passed a completed-child restart case. All
three native turns are checked for absence of the old question block.
- [Earlier continuation
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-continuation-35154943615/):
all five continuation cases passed on native Claude. The report retains
campaign and revision provenance and separately shows two unresolved
onboarding behavior failures.
- [Before/after prompt
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-prompt-comparison-20260917/):
full text, current recorded Claude inputs, and reproducible
reference-token counts. The controlled wake comparison removes 401
reference tokens; the net counted input reduction is 339 after charging
the larger tool description. These are text-size estimates, not measured
billing savings.

## Risks

- Prompt wording affects model behavior. Live results cover the stated
cases, not every provider or conversation. Legacy profiles are
registered but were not rerun for this change.
- The optional continuation field changes prompt data only; there is no
database migration or new production API.
- Authenticated answer projection excludes generated summaries and
agent-resolved interactions. It preserves the answer’s question or
approval scope.
- The screenshot guard can expose UI loading failures that earlier runs
hid. Backend grading alone no longer makes those captures valid.
- The two prior onboarding failures remain separate product issues: work
before acceptance and a missing saved plan. This PR does not claim the
entire onboarding suite passes.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution,
and browser verification. The exact deployed model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 11921075a4 Add first-task onboarding skill and Runner E2E coverage (#13517)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The first task helps a new user define and approve useful work.
> - That workflow needs reusable instructions and tests against the
production experience.
> - Native Codex and Claude must load the assigned skill, including
after resume.
> - Maintainers need recorded conversations and precise failed checks to
judge regressions.
> - This pull request adds the first-task skill and a suite in the
shared Runner E2E harness.
> - It keeps behavior results separate from informational quality scores
and incomplete recordings.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The first onboarding task and the Runner E2E report used to review it.

**Current behavior**

Onboarding embeds its policy in a hidden brief. Native Codex drops the
skill-instructions setting at the Rust boundary. The shared E2E harness
has no onboarding suite or full conversation view.

**Proposed behavior**

Assign and invoke `/first-task` for the onboarding task. Send selected
Codex skills as structured protocol inputs. Run twelve scenarios across
legacy Codex, legacy Claude, native Codex, and native ACPX Claude.
Include all 48 cells in full campaigns. Show recorded chat, question and
approval cards, exact checks, instructions, and billing in the shared
dashboard.

**Reason and benefit**

Measure the real onboarding experience before changing prompts.
Distinguish infrastructure failures, behavior failures, and unexercised
journey steps.

**Breaking changes**

No database migration or production API change. First-task instructions
now live in an assigned skill. The user-edited persona is preserved; the
skill includes the maintainer-approved proposal-mode mapping and
saved-plan requirement.

Related: #11043 is earlier onboarding work. #13422 already fixes native
Claude model pinning, context delivery, and read permissions on master;
this branch includes those fixes through its base. The new Claude
recovery test supplements them.

## What Changed

- Extract and assign the first-task skill while retaining the production
greeting and opening question.
- Carry the Codex skill-instructions flag through thread start and
resume. Resolve explicit task skill references only against assigned
skills and send native skill inputs.
- Invoke an unambiguously selected assigned skill through Claude ACPX’s
native slash-command parser on initial and resumed turns, retaining the
entire task/wake envelope as its argument. Do not carry that invocation
into ordinary tasks.
- Restore the saved single-task proposal modes: confirmation card, or
saved plan with revision-targeted checkbox approval. Explicit plan
requests also require a saved plan.
- Add first-response and complete-journey cases with fixed user facts,
acceptance checkpoints, durable outcome checks, and accounting for child
runs.
- Fail the eval when choice questions have fewer than two real options.
Recognize planning documents without treating them as completed work.
- Add optional, bounded quality judging as explicit post-processing.
- Render full conversations and static interaction cards in the shared
report. Conversations start folded. Show original and regraded results
and incomplete journeys distinctly.
- Keep credential-persistence scanning outside the first-task behavioral
suite; retain public evidence redaction.
- Refresh generated capability references after the API-reference edits.
- Correct shared native question guidance and tool schemas: choices need
at least two meaningful options; open-ended questions use canonical text
fields with the required compatibility payload. Verify both formats
through real tool-authority persistence.
- Disable announcements automatically for every isolated Runner E2E
process and label the gallery environment/provider/target explicitly.
- Remove CI races in the GitHub connection browser test and native
session recovery test by waiting for the actual async work before
asserting its results.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/services/onboarding-first-task-assets.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issue-onboarding-first-task-routes.test.ts`: 19
passed.
- `pnpm --dir packages/paperclip-runner exec vitest run
src/drivers/acpx/runtime-host.test.ts
src/drivers/acpx/native-skill-prompt.test.ts
src/cli/acpx-runtime-sidecar.test.ts`: 70 passed. Native command
forwarding and the 1 MiB input boundary both failed before their fixes
and passed afterward. Coverage includes changed skills on reopen,
approval context, and an ordinary subsequent task.
- Runner E2E unit suite: 306 passed. Harness typecheck passed. The 64
first-task fixture and grader tests also pass.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed locally. Server typecheck
and Runner build passed again after the native-command change.
- Full GitHub Actions CI passed on `23e56447b`: all
server/workspace/browser shards, Runner verification, typecheck/release
registry, build, canary, policy, and Docker checks. Greptile reviewed
this exact head at 5/5 with no unresolved threads. The earlier broad
local run had database startup/timing failures that passed isolated
retries; the complete remote suite is green.
- Merge verification against current master: 312 harness tests and 13
native recovery tests passed. Regenerated semantic contracts and fixture
hashes pass their consistency check. Full local typecheck and build also
passed on the stacked queue branch. After merging the latest master and
preserving the GitHub setup timing regression in the split browser
suite, both focused GitHub browser tests passed. Three CI timing/startup
flakes passed local verification and one remote retry; all latest-head
checks are green.
- Real pinned Claude SDK and Claude ACP JSON-RPC probes against a local
mock API confirmed that `/skill-name` expands the assigned skill body
before the model request and retains the task arguments. A prose mention
does not. The probes made no paid model calls. The ACP probe used the
current first-task skill body and retained the wake arguments.
- [Full 48-case campaign and
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-first-task-35053063880/):
44 passed after three interrupted Codex cases completed in targeted
reruns. Original results, regrades, and all 51 executions remain in the
report provenance.
- [Claude campaign after the shared-question
fix](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-first-task-claude-35099525201/):
10/12 passed with zero single-option failures. All 12 recorded the
current assigned skill and corrected guidance. The failures exposed
skipped skill invocation and a missing saved plan. This PR adds native
command invocation and explicit saved-plan instructions; the subsequent
report below still shows behavior failures.
- [Fresh 12-case Claude
report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/runner-e2e-first-task-claude-35102737804/)
at `78452129e`: 10/12 pass after correcting two false proposal-matcher
failures. The recordings said “Here is the task I will create and
run/complete” in approval cards; the old matcher missed that word order.
Regression tests failed before the fix and pass after it. Original
results and offline regrade provenance remain linked. No agent rerun was
needed. Zero single-option-question failures; two behavior failures
remain: direct work before acceptance on a plain first message, and an
explicit plan request without a saved plan. Neither check was relaxed.
The follow-up `82087ac7e` fixes command-prefix size accounting;
`94aefb1f3` fixes only that proposal matcher.
- Report browser checks confirm folded conversations, rendered cards,
explicit Local/Daytona labels, and no page errors. The published-object
audit scanned 1,306 text files across 2,154 objects with no
credential-format findings or prohibited files. Image pixels and unknown
token formats are outside that scan.

## Risks

- Model behavior is nondeterministic. One campaign is evidence, not a
guarantee. The two remaining Claude behavior failures are visible in the
report and require further product work; this PR does not claim all
onboarding scenarios pass.
- The suite checks persisted Paperclip effects. It cannot prove the
absence of arbitrary external effects.
- Historical recordings can miss later journey steps. These remain
incomplete, never passes.
- Native profiles switch runtime after the production onboarding wizard
because it does not yet expose a native option.
- Quality scores are informational and cannot override behavioral
failures.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The exact deployed model identifier and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 9fd2e50310 feat: create company skills from runner tasks (#13538)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Runner gives agents tools to change company resources.
> - Users need agents to save reusable skills during a task.
> - A saved skill needs a visible result that users can inspect and
edit.
> - This pull request adds `create_skill` and a task feed card linked to
Skill Studio.
> - Users can open the saved skill from the task and edit the same
resource.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Runner tools, company skill storage, task feed, and Skill Studio.

**Problem or motivation**

The Runner has no dedicated tool to create a company skill. A user
cannot follow a creation result from the task feed to the saved skill.

**Proposed solution**

Add a company-scoped `create_skill` tool. Save the skill with the
existing company policy. Add one creation card to the task. Open a named
sidebar tab from that card. Let the user open the same skill in Skill
Studio.

**Alternatives considered**

An agent can write a local file, but that file is not a company skill. A
second document copy in the task would become stale after a Studio edit.
The sidebar therefore reads the saved skill directly.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the shipped Skills Manager, Skill Studio, and Skills Store
milestone. The maintainer requested and approved this scope. Search
found no duplicate `create_skill` PR or issue. Related UI validation
work: #8715. This PR does not change that validation display.

## What Changed

- Add the real Runner tool, its contract, and its mock implementation.
- Validate the complete SKILL.md and derive company, task, agent, and
run identity from authentication.
- Apply the existing company skill policy. Do not assign the skill to an
agent.
- Make keyed retries return one skill and one creation event. Reject
conflicting retries.
- Make concurrent file creation safe. Never replace an existing
published skill during creation.
- Add a creation card, a named sidebar tab, and an Open in Skill Studio
action.
- Show saved Studio edits when the user returns to the task.
- Add storage, policy, mode, retry, UI, and Product E2E tests. Document
the tool.
- Fix deleted-name reuse, onboarding panel persistence, immediate feed
refresh, and mock validation parity from review.
- Serialize Studio file edits and renames with skill deletion and
recreation. Reject stale editor requests before they can change a
replacement skill.
- Generate the standalone mock parser and validator from the production
contract. Use portable UUIDs so the browser scenario bundle builds.

## Verification

- All latest-head PR checks pass on `145dd76a5`, including all server
shards, browser E2E, Runner verification, build, typecheck, and release
dry run. Greptile: 5/5 with no open findings. An interrupted CI runner
was retried successfully.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm build`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- Review regressions: 73 storage tests, 6 real API tests, 63 UI tests,
and 61 semantic runtime tests passed. Parser synchronization passed.
- CI exposed existing fire-and-forget Sentry test races. Reproduced the
resumption race locally, then synchronized the related sweep and
finalizer assertions on the actual report; all 27 tests across the three
affected files pass.
- Runner scenario browser build and strict content-security-policy
check: passed.
- Runner suite: 2,012 tests passed; 10 skipped.
- `pnpm test:run`: the general-server batch had 12,416 passes and two
failures. The old tool-count assertion was fixed; all 16 authority tests
then passed. The chat webhook test had a socket error; it passed four
isolated reruns.
- Both workspace test groups passed. The isolated route suites
completed. Two socket failures in the initial route batches passed on
individual reruns; all remaining 61 files passed.
- Product E2E `create-skill-studio`: passed with local Codex and local
ACPX Claude.
- Manual browser test: submit a task, observe the real tool call and
creation card, open the sidebar, edit in Studio, save, and return. The
task reached Done. The saved second revision and sidebar tab survived a
server restart.
- The new companion headless Runner Eval passed. Companion coverage PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/23. Daytona was not
run because no immutable runner image was configured.

## Risks

- Database writes and local file writes cannot share one transaction.
Recovery accepts only an exact file-for-file retry after a database
rollback. Conflicting files remain untouched.
- The sidebar displays the current skill. The feed card remains the
historical creation receipt.
- No database migration, dependency, or workflow change is included.
- Remote Daytona behavior still needs a run with a configured immutable
image.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) handled design, integration, review, and
browser verification. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with bounded
implementation and eval work. Both used code execution and tool access.
The host did not expose the context window size.

DottaandPaperclip d49f168381 fix: publish sandbox files on legacy and native runners (#13493)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents must publish generated files so users can inspect their
results after a sandbox stops.
> - Legacy sandbox bridges blocked attachment listing and could not
carry multipart binary uploads through the queue transport.
> - The native runner has a separate verified file registration path
that needs the same durable result.
> - This pull request repairs legacy binary transport, makes native
download receipts explicit, and reveals new outputs in the task
Artifacts tab.
> - Users can open generated files from either runner without a
transport flag change.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13355 for the existing native file publication path. Related
filename fixes: #2615 and #4788. Related sandbox persistence work:
#13376. This change repairs attachment delivery through the existing
API; it does not add workspace persistence.

**What happened?**

The upload helper first lists task attachments to avoid duplicates. Both
legacy bridge allowlists rejected that GET request with 403. A direct
multipart upload also failed: the queue bridge accepted only JSON,
excluded attachment uploads, and converted bytes to UTF-8 text. Enabling
HTTP/2 alone did not fix the missing listing route. These failures
occurred before attachment storage.

**Expected behavior**

Both runners can publish a workspace file, register its work product,
bind it to a response, and return a working download. The file stays
accessible after sandbox deletion. A new output opens the task Artifacts
tab. The agent receives accurate errors and decides how to retry or
report a failure.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run a legacy agent in Daytona with the duplex bridge disabled.
2. Invoke the bundled upload helper with Bash on a PNG or PDF.
3. Repeat with the duplex bridge enabled.
4. Register the same file through the native runner with generic API
tools disabled.
5. Retry registration, delete the sandbox, and compare the downloaded
bytes with the original file.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The failing baseline was `f2c5e54dc`. This branch is rebased onto
`6cfe4acff`.

**Deployment mode**

Source checkout with a local API and real isolated Daytona sandboxes.

## What Changed

- Allow authenticated attachment listing, upload, and content download
through both legacy bridge transports.
- Add optional base64 body encoding to queue envelopes. Preserve the
existing UTF-8 contract when the encoding field is absent. Decode binary
bodies before forwarding them.
- Preserve multipart headers. Bound raw bytes, encoded envelopes, and
in-flight reservations. Retain timeout and uncertain-write behavior.
- Preserve helper deduplication and return structured uncertain-write
failures. Document explicit Bash invocation in live skills.
- Add attachment IDs and content/download paths to native registration
receipts. Reuse verified local and remote file reads, attachment
storage, work-product registration, and response binding.
- Preserve Unicode upload filenames and provide a valid
Content-Disposition header.
- Open the task Artifacts tab when new stored outputs arrive, including
a closed desktop panel or mobile drawer. Deduplicate upload and
registration events by object ID. Preserve manual selection on
refetches, edits, and panel remounts.
- Remove task artifact filters, the company Artifacts footer link, and
the unassigned group heading and timestamp.

### Screenshot

![Generated images and a document in the task Artifacts
tab](https://pages.paperclip.ing/sandbox-file-delivery-2026-09-15/artifacts-tab.png)

This is the local display fixture. The image was generated separately
and published through the attachment and work-product APIs.

## Verification

- Post-rebase `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass.
- The post-rebase local `pnpm test:run` passed 12,369 tests before one
existing conversation reset test timed out; all 33 tests in that suite
pass when rerun with isolated test configuration. The aggregate command
stopped before its remaining groups. GitHub runs the complete suite in
separate shards.
- All [GitHub verification
checks](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35017893350)
pass on `b66ac276dd3d5fc738a22ecea783400106a494d4`: 32 successful checks
and two configured skips. The native-session recovery assertion
initially raced its fire-and-forget Sentry report; all 13 tests pass
locally, and the same-commit CI rerun passes all 170 suites (3,079
tests).
- Live post-rebase Daytona: all three file-delivery tests pass. They
cover the real Bash helper with the queue bridge, the helper with
HTTP/2, and native `register_deliverable` with generic API tools
disabled.
- Daytona cases cover PNG/PDF bytes, spaced and Unicode names, duplicate
registration, response binding, authorization controls, and
byte-for-byte downloads after sandbox deletion.
- Local focused coverage includes transfer bounds, malformed encoding,
interrupted transfers, remote path containment, and native file
verification. The attachment route suite passes all 32 tests, including
an eight-case filename-header matrix for Unicode and special characters,
inline and forced downloads, and full and partial responses.
- Browser verification confirms image previews, persisted downloads,
automatic Artifacts selection, and preserved manual selection after
edits and reloads. Desktop/mobile component coverage passes. The latest
UI cleanup passes its 10 affected tests and token gates.
- Coverage limit: the Daytona tests call the real helper and native
registration path directly. They do not replay a complete model-led
image-generation task through the browser.

Live command (requires a configured Daytona credential):

```sh
PAPERCLIP_FILE_DELIVERY_DAYTONA=1 pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/file-delivery-bridges.test.ts
```

## Risks

- Binary queue bodies use more memory because base64 adds encoding
overhead. Transfer and process limits must remain aligned.
- An interrupted write can have an unknown result. The bridge reports
this state and preserves stable retry identities.
- New artifacts intentionally change the active task tab. Existing
history and repeated updates must not take focus again.
- Transport flag defaults, server authorization, frozen skill snapshots,
and completion policies remain unchanged. No schema migration is
required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser testing. The runtime does not expose a more
specific model ID or context-window size.

cceeb0aa66 test(runner): add everyday workflow evaluation harness (#13474)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner must support project work, delegation, hiring, and
service access.
> - Browser tests exposed lost connection access, rejected helper
events, and stalled recovery.
> - Some eval failures also came from incorrect fixtures and decision
controls.
> - This pull request fixes those paths and adds eight everyday workflow
stories.
> - The tests retain observed failures and verify delivered files
independently.
> - The benefit is repeatable evidence for common user tasks and their
remaining gaps.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related work: #13404 contains earlier workflow fixes. #13300 and #13470
changed the CI contracts used by the harness security tests. Merged
companion:
[paperclip-evals#22](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/22).

**What happened?**

Native ACPX sessions did not receive the assigned connection gateway.
Codex helper events could arrive before their spawn receipt and fail
thread validation. A parent continuation could take a shared workspace
before its child retried. A failed native continuation could leave the
task status without a clear recovery blocker. The eval harness also
confused tool approvals with new connection requests and could reject a
valid delegated download.

**Expected behavior**

Keep assigned gateway access and its approval checks. Verify helper
lineage before accepting helper progress. Let a waiting child proceed
before automatic parent recovery. Preserve a failed task's recovery
ownership. Grade the actual requested workflow and its delivered files.

**Steps to reproduce**

Run the everyday workflow suite with the native Codex and Claude
profiles. Exercise service approval, connection refusal, delegated
project work, and teammate reuse. The commands and case requirements are
in `tests/runner-e2e/EVERYDAY-WORKFLOWS.md`. Use `pnpm
test:runner-recovery` for controlled crash and replacement cases.

## What Changed

- Pass the scoped connection gateway binding through the native ACPX
host and sidecar.
- Recognize Codex helper lineage from parent metadata and spawn
receipts. Verify early helper events with `thread/read`. Keep helper
events separate from root completion authority.
- Guide agents to use persistent hiring, child tasks, dependency
records, and a blocked handoff while waiting for a child.
- Defer automatic parent recovery while a child has an active execution
path in the same shared workspace. Allow parent recovery when the child
needs review.
- Record Blocked status and recovery evidence when a failed native
continuation needs reconciliation, including existing active or
escalated incidents. Preserve their owner and retry budget.
- Add eight browser-driven workflow cases. Use real decision controls,
explicit child feedback delivery, managed hiring credentials, and
independent ZIP checks inside a bounded Docker sandbox. Verify sandbox
availability before task creation. Record screenshot SHA-256 at capture.
- Keep runner crash probes in controlled recovery tests. Preserve the
original failure when cleanup also fails.
- Display missing accounting and replay revisions as unavailable. Align
harness security assertions with the approved CI changes.
- Make the channel-rejection browser fixture bind its file after the
send captures its payload. This prevents live refresh from removing the
file before the simulated race.

## Verification

- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` passed after merging current
master.
- Runner E2E typecheck passed. Harness unit tests passed: 216/216.
- Wake-queue database tests passed: 55/55. The two added
existing-incident tests failed before the fix and pass after it.
- Docker artifact calibration passed: 12/12. Host-file and host-loopback
isolation tests failed before the fix and pass after it. Read-only
delivery and output limits are also verified.
- Full `pnpm build` passed. Targeted recovery tests passed: 83/83.
- The channel-rejection browser test passed five consecutive runs after
fixing the fixture race found in CI.
- Local general-server (12,351 tests), UI (6,250), CLI (485), and
workspace package groups passed. The monolithic run stopped at an
unchanged lock-heartbeat fixture race; the isolated workspace group
passed on rerun (shared: 747/747). A separate local serialized run
passed 97 files before two socket errors in the unchanged issue-list
route suite; that suite passed 15/15 on isolated rerun. These local full
commands did not finish uninterrupted; the complete CI matrix below
covers the remaining suites.
- Final head `0fb293733fe307be7e6667ae8f1364077d0c6455`: **34 successful
checks, 2 expected skips**, including every server/workspace shard,
browser shard, native runner verification, build, and typecheck. [Final
CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34989136700).
- Greptile reviewed this exact head at **5/5**; all review threads are
resolved. Both Superagent security checks are successful.
- ACPX credential-boundary tests passed: 118/118. Superagent accepted
the runner/sidecar versus provider-environment trace and cleared its
finding.
- The latest paid local campaign on source
`f6a2fdf7ac2af859826a2ae627ff4125a5478529` passed 22/24 cases: Sol 8/8,
Claude 7/8, Mini 7/8. These results predate the merge with current
master.
- The two remaining failures are in `hire-reuse`: Claude exceeded the
attempt deadline during final review; Mini made invalid deliverable tool
calls and remained Blocked.
- Six Daytona cases were not run because the matching immutable runner
image was unavailable. This PR does not claim new remote model results.

## Risks

The changes affect connection admission, helper identity, and recovery
scheduling. Assigned gateway grants and user approval still govern
service calls. The workspace admission gate still exists; the broader
folder-sync design is separate work. Provider behavior can still cause
the two recorded hiring failures. No database migration is required.
Paid cases are opt-in and have bounded attempt deadlines. Project
stories now require Docker and the documented pinned Python image on the
harness host.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` performed implementation, diagnosis, and
substantive review. OpenAI `gpt-5.6-luna` assisted with verification, PR
preparation, and review tracking. Both used repository tools and code
execution. Context-window sizes were not recorded.

Nicky LeachandPaperclip c276d3fdc3 feat(observability): report terminal run failures to Sentry (#13446)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server records the state of each agent run.
> - Terminal run failures need clear error tracking for operators.
> - The server did not report terminal `failed` or `timed_out`
transitions to Sentry.
> - This pull request reports each genuine terminal failure transition
with safe diagnostic data.
> - The benefit is faster diagnosis without changing run control flow or
exposing credentials.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The server wrote terminal run failures but did not report them to
Sentry. Operators could not see these failures in error tracking.

**Expected behavior**

The server should report each genuine transition to `failed` or
`timed_out` to Sentry.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run an agent task that reaches a terminal failure state.
2. Inspect the Sentry events for the server.
3. Observe that the terminal run failure has no matching Sentry event.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The change targets the current `master` branch.

No public GitHub issue or pull request covers this change.

## What Changed

- Add `captureRunFailure()` as a fail-open Sentry entry point.
- Add `reportRunFailure()` to filter status, resolve the adapter, redact
text, and report the failure.
- Call `reportRunFailure()` beside each of the eight terminal status
writers.
- Report six diagnostic values: the instance host, task identifier, run
identifier, error message, error code, and agent adapter.
- Group events by error code and agent adapter while keeping the
redacted message in the event.
- Report only genuine transitions and avoid duplicate finalization
events.
- Keep Sentry failures outside run control flow.

## Verification

- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/services/__tests__/run-failure-report.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/run-failure-sentry.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/native-session-resumption.test.ts`
- `pnpm vitest run
server/src/services/execution-control-reconciliation.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- The full continuous-integration suite must run on this pull request.

## Risks

- The report path can add diagnostic events when Sentry is configured.
- The report path returns without action when Sentry is not configured.
- Redaction runs before length limits and before the event leaves the
process.
- The change has no migration and no schema change.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review support. The exact context
window and reasoning configuration are not exposed by the runtime.

DottaandPaperclip 8f1905d34d fix: provision all project repositories for local and sandbox tasks (#13442)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Projects can now attach several source repositories.
> - Task preparation still treated these sources as alternative
workspaces.
> - Sandbox sync preserved Git history only for the selected repository.
> - A task needs every attached repository to complete work across the
project.
> - This pull request prepares all distinct project repositories and
preserves their separate Git histories through sandbox restore.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A user reported that a project with two repositories received only the
first repository in Daytona. Repository-only project rows also reached
the agent with null local paths. Managed checkouts with matching
repository names could resolve to the same directory.

**Expected behavior**

Local and sandbox tasks receive every distinct repository attached to
their project. Repository-only sources work without preconfigured local
folders. Each repository keeps its own Git history and working files.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a project with two repository sources and no local folder
paths.
2. Assign a task to the project and run it in Daytona.
3. Inspect the task workspace and the repository paths exposed to the
agent.
4. Observe that the original implementation supplies only the selected
checkout.

Related change: #13010 added multiple repository selection. The open
repository-catalog proposals #11234 and #11228 cover a different data
model. This fix uses the existing project workspaces.

## What Changed

- Materialize each additional distinct repository as an editable
checkout inside the task root. Seed configured local sources with their
current working files and retain task edits across runs.
- Pass materialized repository paths to local agents and native sandbox
task prompts. Apply existing run-scoped Git credentials to each remote
clone.
- Preserve each repository's Git history, dirty files, and restore
baseline during sandbox staging and durable recovery. Apply each
repository's ignore rules and the operator's workspace exclusions.
- Keep same-name managed repositories in separate directories. Report
additional clone failures before the task starts.
- Add task-level, checkout, sandbox round-trip, environment-hint, and
recovery-descriptor regression coverage. Document checkout and restore
behavior.

## Verification

- Red: the original implementation fails the sandbox test because the
second repository has no Git directory. It also fails the same-name
checkout test and both real-database task tests because repository hints
have no local path.
- Green: focused tests pass for one and two repository-only sources,
local source edits, clone failures, per-repository credentials, separate
Git histories, ignored files, and recovery from remote or durable seed
state.
- Live Daytona smoke passed with two disposable repositories through the
production provider sync functions. Both repositories arrived with Git
history. Commits from both restored locally. Ignored files stayed
excluded. The disposable sandbox was deleted.
- Passed on final commit `93ab76763`: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm
build`.
- Final focused coverage: 254 assertions across the six changed test
areas passed across the serial run and an isolated rerun of the existing
process-kill timing test. The live Daytona smoke also passed.
- The local `pnpm test:run` overlapped source edits and retained stale
transformed code. Its first phase reported 12,240 passed assertions,
nine failed assertions, three hook failures, and one worker error; later
phases did not run locally. This run is not claimed as green. Fresh
focused tests verify the changes, and every general/workspace and
serialized-server CI shard passes on the final commit.
- Final CI is green on `93ab76763`: all test shards, all three browser
shards, typecheck, build, runner verification, canary dry run, and
security checks. The initial unrelated chat-delivery browser timing
failure passed in the final CI run. Optional Storybook visual checks
were skipped.
- Greptile is 5/5 on the final commit with no unresolved review threads.
Its checkout-race finding was reproduced with a failing test, fixed, and
rechecked.

## Risks

- Additional repositories need disk space and clone time. Access failure
for an attached repository stops preparation.
- Additional checkouts live under `.paperclip-repositories/` and keep
independent histories. Changes stay in those task copies; they do not
overwrite configured source folders.
- Detached or reconfigured repository copies are retained under
`.paperclip-runtime/detached-repositories/`. Sandbox recovery retains
per-repository merge baselines.
- No database migration, UI contract change, or new credential
delegation is required. Referenced projects retain their separate
read-only behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with repository inspection, code
execution, and tool use. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model deployment ID or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip f912ecaacf fix: carry AI connections through hiring and unblock task execution (#13438)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents hire other agents and assign tasks to them.
> - Managed AI connections must follow those hires across legacy and
native runners.
> - Missing accounts should pause task execution and let the user
connect from the task.
> - Subscription contention must wait without asking for new
credentials.
> - This pull request fixes these paths and the native tool and Daytona
staging failures found during live tests.
> - The result is a working hire, subtask, and connection setup flow on
local and remote runners.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A managed Claude or Codex agent could hire a teammate without a usable
AI binding. Cross-provider hiring could fail before the user had a
chance to connect the new provider. First-time task setup did not show
the existing AI credential form inline. A busy subscription could
request a new connection. Native API replies could stop the parent after
a hire had already committed. Fresh Daytona sandboxes could fail to
extract read-only skill directories created on macOS.

**Expected behavior**

Compatible hires inherit the managed connection choice. A hire for
another provider uses the responsible user's default. If that account is
missing, the hire succeeds and the task asks for a connection.
Completing setup in the task resumes work automatically. Explicit child
auth settings and existing unmanaged login paths keep precedence.
Shared-account access checks remain in force.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Connect a Claude or Codex parent with a managed AI account.
2. Ask it to hire one agent of each provider and create a self-assigned
subtask.
3. Assign work to both hires without connecting the second provider
first.
4. Connect the missing provider from its task card.
5. Check that all tasks finish and same-provider work uses the original
account.
6. Repeat with native runners and fresh Daytona sandboxes. The opt-in
browser suite in `tests/hiring-ai-connections/README.md` performs these
steps.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The live failures were reproduced from `f2c5e54dc`. The branch is
rebased onto `5282cabde`.

**Deployment mode**

Isolated local development instance. Legacy CLI and native runners.
Local execution and ephemeral Daytona sandboxes.

Related work: Refs #13247 for managed AI connections. Refs #13268 for
legacy credential-reference inheritance, which this branch preserves.
Refs #13432 for a concurrent managed-inheritance fix. This PR also
covers cross-provider task setup, subscription waits, native API
replies, and Daytona extraction. It permits missing responsible-user
defaults at hire time; restricted shared selections still fail.

## What Changed

- Apply managed connection defaults to both agent creation routes.
Preserve explicit auth choices and legacy credential-reference
inheritance.
- Allow hires before their responsible user connects the provider. Keep
approval gates, company boundaries, and shared-account access checks.
- Reuse the production AI credential form inside the pending task card.
Resume the task after setup.
- Retry subscription lease contention without consuming the
provider-failure allowance or creating a connection request.
- Require task execution-lock ownership when scheduling, promoting, and
dispatching subscription retries. Recheck ownership under the issue row
lock.
- Rename the HTTP operation identity at the native tool boundary so it
cannot override the runner's operation identity.
- Delay directory permission restoration during Daytona extraction.
Preserve the final read-only modes.
- Add database-backed regressions, real browser acceptance tests, and
Storybook states. Document setup and run-log behavior.

## Verification

- Six real browser scenarios passed: both parent providers on legacy
local and legacy Daytona; native Codex locally; native Claude on
Daytona. Each scenario hires both providers, completes a self-subtask
and assigned work, and connects the missing provider inline with
automatic continuation.
- Successful runs verify the account, responsible user, runner mode, and
Daytona lease. All 18 test sandboxes were deleted.
- Live authentication used API keys. Subscription inheritance, lease
contention, and retry have integration coverage. Fresh subscription
OAuth sign-in was not automated.
- Red/green tests reproduced missing bindings, missing inline forms,
subscription contention, native API reply failure, and GNU tar
permission failure.
- Seven Storybook browser checks passed. They cover both providers,
method selection, narrow layout, completion, cancellation, and invalid
credentials.
- Full local suite coverage completed before rebase. Initial timing and
fixture startup failures passed unchanged on isolated reruns. The first
full command did not exit cleanly; the remaining workspace and
serialized groups were completed separately.
- After rebase, 107 hiring/auth/retry tests and 59 native API,
task-card, and Daytona tests passed. The full workspace typecheck,
production build, and token gates passed again. Storybook build passed
before rebase.

- Review fixes: 169 hiring/retry/dispatch tests, 37 adjacent tests, and
four explicit cancellation-race cases passed. Eight cross-provider cases
cover stale auth keys on both creation routes and both runner types.
Server typecheck and build passed.

- Final CI on `ee4890837a8a4913e07453392b9a75969580dae1`: 32 checks
passed. Two optional Storybook jobs were skipped. The full server,
workspace, browser, native runner, build, typecheck, and release checks
passed.
- Three unchanged tests initially failed on a busy port, a chat row-lock
race, and preview-server readiness. Each affected job passed after one
CI rerun. Isolated local checks also passed: 41 credential tests, the
chat-concurrency case, and 25 preview-runtime tests.
- Greptile reviewed the final commit at 5/5. Both review threads are
resolved. GitHub reports no merge conflicts.

## Risks

- A missing personal account now defers authentication to the first
task. Explicit incompatible bindings and restricted shared accounts
still fail at hire time.
- An inherited personal default uses the responsible user's existing
authorization to install access for the new agent. It never copies
credentials or another user's identity.
- Subscription contention retries after a delay and rechecks task
eligibility. It does not consume the provider-failure budget.
- Native hiring uses the existing managed API-tools opt-in. Remote
native runners require a matching Linux binary and provider pack, as
documented in the acceptance README.
- No schema changes. Live tests make paid provider calls and remain
opt-in.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`) in Codex, with reasoning, repository
inspection, code execution, browser automation, and API tools. The
context-window size is not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 78ce96a48b fix(runner): restore native Claude context and read permissions (#13422)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner supplies each agent with instructions, assigned
skills, and tools.
> - Native Claude lost its skill snapshot before provider launch. It
also changed exact model IDs to aliases.
> - The read permission mode denied ordinary Paperclip reads because
this runner has no interactive approval handler.
> - This pull request restores the missing context and permits only
assigned tools that Paperclip defines as reads.
> - Other requests that need approval stop with a clear action for the
operator. They do not retry automatically.
> - Agents can complete read tasks. Users can see why a restricted task
stopped.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Native Claude could not find assigned skills. The ACP layer could
replace an exact model ID with an alias and then fail identity
verification. The default `approve-reads` mode denied Paperclip read
tools. A denied write showed a generic transport failure.

The tool descriptions also called live operations “mock” operations. The
completion prompt said to call a completion tool once, although the
protocol can reject a claim and require a corrected call.

**Expected behavior**

Load assigned skills before launch. Keep the selected model ID. Allow
assigned Paperclip reads. Stop an operation that needs approval with
clear instructions when no approval handler exists.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure a native Paperclip Runner agent with ACPX Claude and an
exact model ID.
2. Assign a skill and ask the agent to use it.
3. Select the read permission mode and ask the agent to read task
context and list documents.
4. Ask the agent to write a document. Check the task state and recovery
message.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced from `d351e08deee1b49d3467a950d1a3f01131943441`.

**Deployment mode**

Local native runner with real Claude, Rust runnerd, the Paperclip
server, and embedded PostgreSQL.

Related: #13196 fixed remote skill staging in the legacy `claude_local`
adapter. The native runner uses a separate path, which this pull request
fixes.

## What Changed

- Carry the runtime context through Rust and the ACPX sidecar. Load
assigned Claude skills after the provider lifetime lease is held.
Refresh the files on each open.
- Write the exact requested model ID into the isolated Claude settings.
- Grant exact MCP permissions for the intersection of assigned tools and
Paperclip's read catalog. Provider hints cannot grant access. Existing
task-control permissions stay in place.
- Stop requests that need an unavailable approval handler. Preserve the
typed error through the server. Show “Approval required” on the task and
require operator action without automatic retry.
- Label the setting “Allow Paperclip reads.” Remove “mock” from live
tool descriptions and regenerate the contracts.
- Change one completion-prompt sentence to require one accepted result.
Add regression tests and update the runner documentation.

## Verification

- Red/green regression tests cover read admission, unavailable approval
handling, server recovery, and the task error message.
- A real Claude read trial failed before the fix and completed after it:

- Full browser tests used real Claude and the production tool authority.
Reads completed. A write stopped with “Approval required.” No document
was created and no automatic retry was scheduled. All nine checks
passed: [events and

- A separate full browser test assigned a skill, invoked it, and
completed with a marker absent from the task prompt: [skill

- Post-rebase checks passed: 128 targeted runner tests, 46 Rust tests,
27 sidecar/protocol contract tests, `pnpm -r typecheck`, and `pnpm
build`. The server/UI red-green checks and `pnpm check:token-gates` also
passed. The full suite passed in CI, including all general and
serialized test shards, all three browser shards, and runner
`check:all`. The duplicate unsharded local full-suite run was stopped
after CI passed.

Braintrust links require project access. The traces contain
provider/runner events and app outcomes. They do not contain raw model
HTTP requests.

## Risks

- `approve-reads` now allows assigned Paperclip reads. Other operations
that need approval stop the turn. Users must review the operation and
change permissions before retrying.
- The Claude settings depend on the pinned ACP and SDK behavior.
Automated tests and real Claude trials cover this boundary.
- The native Codex path is unchanged. The ACPX Codex fallback shares the
clearer approval failure handling.
- Local execution was tested end to end. Remote execution was not run.
This change has no database migration.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The agent used reasoning, code execution,
and browser tools. The exact deployment ID and context-window size were
not exposed in the session. Live acceptance tests used
`claude-sonnet-5`.

DottaandPaperclip f2c5e54dca fix(runner): preserve handoff work and publish requested files (#13355)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their tasks.
> - A task keeps its instructions, progress, and files when its assigned
agent changes.
> - The replacement runner lost the interrupted run's context and could
overwrite an existing draft.
> - A saved message also stayed attached to the former agent and could
reopen the task after the replacement finished.
> - File tasks could report Done with only a local path that the user
could not open.
> - This pull request transfers handoff context and saved messages, and
makes requested files accessible through the existing attachment
contract.
> - Users can change agents and collect completed work without repeating
instructions or confirming bookkeeping.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13338. Builds on merged #13354 for queue admission and #13353 for
remote workspace retry. #10123 concerns restricted recovery-model
escalation; this change instead covers ordinary native handoff and file
completion.

**What happened?**

Codex wrote a draft before a user assigned the task to Claude. The
replacement lacked continuation context and replaced the draft. A queued
user message could later restart the former agent and reopen the
completed task. Separately, a runner could finish a requested file but
return only a machine-local path. Remote native runs had no bound file
publication tool.

**Expected behavior**

The replacement reads and preserves existing work, receives saved
messages once, and keeps each message's author. The former agent stays
stopped. A requested file has a working attachment or accessible work
product before Done. Text-only tasks do not require attachments.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Ask Codex to save three newsletter names and then wait.
2. Queue an instruction to keep those names and expand the draft.
3. Use Interrupt and assign to select Claude.
4. Verify the original names survive, the result has a working download,
and only the source and replacement runs exist.
5. Ask either provider for a Markdown checklist and open the file from
its completed response.

## What Changed

- Carry the exact same-task interrupted run's summary, semantic
receipts, and history into handoff context. Tell the replacement to
inspect existing files before editing.
- Adopt saved ordinary task comments into the successor's receipt under
the task lock. Preserve authors and separate mention, chat, and
interaction contracts.
- Prevent a former-assignee comment wake from reopening a completed task
or starting a stale execution.
- Reject workspace-only, fabricated, and cross-task file completion
references with actionable runner feedback. New file output also needs a
matching current-run publication receipt and asset filename/size/hash,
or an accessible work product registered by the current run. Prior
output can remain context alongside a current file, or be verified and
re-registered internally. Authorized chat attachment reuse retains its
verified current-run clone receipt; older receipt shapes require an
intact matching source.
- Bind remote file reads to the active environment runner and reuse the
existing attachment and work-product publication path.
- Enforce workspace confinement, regular single-link files, stable
identity, a 10 MiB limit, and exact size and SHA-256 checks. Rotate the
native session fingerprint for the updated tool contract.
- Contain rejected remote signals and protocol-failure cleanup,
including logging failures. Preserve the original cleanup rejection for
its owner; a rejected operation never supplies stop acknowledgement or
cleanup proof.
- Allow exactly one maximum-size base64 file through the native SSH
command adapter, preserving a finite output cap.
- Document handoff and accessible file completion rules.

## Verification

- Each observed bug has a failing regression before its fix. Final
post-rebase integration passed 732 tests across 13 files before the
final receipt and signal guards; final affected results are below.
- Publication provenance and compatibility: 8 provenance regressions and
2 compatibility regressions failed before their fixes; the final four
affected suites pass 53 tests, including mixed old/new references and
real authorized chat reuse. Controls cover old attachments and work
products, filename/size/hash/origin mismatch, missing/wrong receipts,
current-run publication, same-run durable proof, internally
re-registering preserved bytes, and no-new-file follow-ups.
- Remote signal rejection: the real Node subprocess previously exited 1
when the production launcher signalled a deleted sandbox. It now stays
alive for both a failed signal and failed logging; all 349 executor
tests pass. The failed signal still provides no termination proof.
- Remote file reader and SSH command boundary: 33 tests passed,
including real Linux descriptor reads and the actual SSH adapter
subprocess output cap (network executable replaced by a deterministic
fixture). Exact 10 MiB bytes pass, one byte beyond the encoded cap
fails.
- Live local Claude and Codex Stop journeys preserve the saved file,
deliver queued instructions once, and reach Done with two total runs.
The handoff journey preserves the original names and download with
exactly two runs. Both local providers deliver exact checklist files
without a completion confirmation.
- Live combined Daytona verification passed: the original failed task's
Retry reused its sandbox; a selected Git subfolder produced an exact
downloadable file; warm and deliberately resumed Claude runs took about
33 seconds. Codex produced a 240-byte download in 33.1 seconds after 134
seconds of contention/backoff. Both cloud downloads retained exact bytes
after the two owned sandboxes were deleted.
- The sandbox-deletion retest identified a separate ignored promise in
protocol-failure cleanup. Two real Node subprocess regressions failed
under fatal unhandled-rejection policy before the fix; all 36 protocol,
lifecycle, and integrity tests now pass. The original close promise
still rejects to its owning runtime. The final live retest passed: a
normal Claude Daytona task completed in 132.352 seconds, then its
sandbox was deleted. Thirteen samples over 361 seconds confirmed the
same controller stayed healthy, the task stayed Done with unchanged run
IDs, and its attachment retained exact bytes. The post-deletion browser
download passed with zero page errors; all five owned sandboxes are
confirmed absent.
- Full repository typecheck and build passed on final commit
`de64d16f1`. Final-head Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
[Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34736623758)
passed: 32 successful checks and two conditional skips. The earlier
mixed-source full local test invocation was deliberately stopped before
rebase, so no pristine green full local aggregate is claimed. Its known
failures passed in later affected suites.

## Risks

- Handoff may adopt only ordinary comments from its validated former
owner. Other delivery contracts must remain independent.
- File verification fails closed if a remote file changes during
reading. The runner must retry publication or explain a blocker.
- The updated session fingerprint starts a fresh provider process where
needed to install the new tool contract.
- No schema migration or historical status reconciliation is included.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` through Codex, with reasoning, code execution,
browser testing, and tool use. The context-window size is not exposed in
this task.

DottaandPaperclip 6809314a3f fix: recover sandbox workspace setup and retries (#13353)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their tasks.
> - Sandbox tasks need a workspace and a provider session before work
can start.
> - A selected Git subfolder is a valid workspace, but it is not a
repository fetch source.
> - A resumed sandbox must keep one resource identity when the provider
fills in its region.
> - Workspace reuse does not prove that a provider session has started.
> - A recorded continuation must not leave an old failure blocking Retry
for a newer attempt.
> - This pull request fixes those setup and recovery boundaries while
preserving ownership checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

A Daytona task failed before provider startup when its project folder
was inside a parent Git repository. After the folder was repaired, Retry
resumed the same sandbox and verified its workspace sentinel, but
workspace preparation reported that the lease was no longer active. A
later attempt could fail because the resumed workspace had no provider
checkpoint. The old run also kept a recovery projection after the server
recorded its explicit successor, hiding Retry for the new failure.

**Expected behavior**

Sync the selected folder without importing parent files or history. Keep
the existing sandbox identity stable. Allow a new provider session only
with proof that its exact session has never started. Let the current
failed attempt retain Retry once the old recovery has a recorded
successor.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Select a subfolder of a Git repository as a project workspace and
start a Daytona task.
2. Leave the target region unset. Release its reusable sandbox after
setup fails, then resume and realize the workspace.
3. Retry a provider setup that failed before any session directory or
checkpoint was created.
4. Record an explicit successor for a native failure, fail that
successor during setup, and inspect Retry in the task thread.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against `8d1f0c20a` with new failing regressions before each
production fix.

**Deployment mode**

Local controller with a Daytona environment. Automated tests use
deterministic provider fixtures and real filesystem operations.

Related: #13338, #13163, #13264, #13349. The open work-folder stack in
#13264 includes a broader fresh-session authority change. This patch
addresses the independently reproduced startup failure with existing
durable bootstrap proof and atomic directory creation. It does not
include the work-folder migration or credential changes from that stack.

## What Changed

- Classify only the selected Git repository root as a fetch source. Sync
subfolders as directories and preserve their enclosing Git ignore rules
on upload and restore. Recognize the shared scheduler’s completed
non-repository result so ordinary folders still sync; timeout,
cancellation, and output-limit failures remain closed.
- Remove the placement target from Daytona account cache identity. Keep
API endpoint, credential digest, company, environment, driver, and
sandbox ID boundaries.
- Preserve closed-lease admission until a sentinel-verified resume
reopens that same resource.
- Show the already-recorded explicit successor of a resolved recovery.
Keep the old failure evidence and unresolved holds. No historical status
writes occur.
- Permit a resumed workspace to create a new session directory only with
matching durable identity, zero connections and events, untouched
bootstrap commands, no backup, and an absent remote session. Claim the
directory atomically. Existing, partial, or ambiguous state still blocks
startup.

## Verification

- Final head `c43c7403f`: [CI completed
successfully](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34733846820/attempts/2),
with 32 successful checks and 2 conditional skips. This includes every
server, UI, package, serialized-route, browser, native-runner,
typecheck, and build gate. Greptile reviewed the same head at [5/5 with
no unresolved
findings](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13353#issuecomment-5650270168).
- New regressions failed before each of the four production fixes.
Git/archive/restore suites: 148 passed. The scheduler-wrapped non-Git
regression also failed before its fix; 135 affected Git/sync/Codex tests
then passed.
- Daytona plugin: 230 passed, 6 opt-in live tests skipped. Native
executor, projection, and TaskChatThread: 494 passed, including
existing/partial state, wrong identity, prior connections or turns,
backups, unavailable proof, and unresolved recovery controls.
- Local full-repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed on the
final head. Local CLI: 485 passed. Complete single-worker package rerun:
3,224 passed, 19 skipped.
- Local verification is an aggregate with recorded retries, not one
pristine green invocation: the general-server run began on `e721a920a`
and finished with 12,002 passed, 3 failed, 70 skipped. Its real Codex
scheduler failure is fixed above; the socket and workspace-runtime
timeout failures passed unchanged in focused reruns. Both Inbox failures
passed unchanged in the full 27-test Inbox file; database/shared-package
failures passed in the single-worker package rerun. The supplemental
local serialized-route rerun remains in progress; all five corresponding
final-head CI lanes passed.
- The first final-head CI attempt hit a Daytona fixture-readiness race
and a signoff-browser heartbeat receipt timeout. One supported unchanged
failed-job rerun passed both and the aggregate gates. Live combined
user-journey verification is tracked in the related follow-up; this PR's
provider tests use deterministic fixtures and real filesystem checks.

## Risks

- A selected subfolder uses directory sync and does not carry parent Git
history. Its ignored files stay local.
- The target region remains a creation setting and part of workspace
reuse policy; it does not split the account identity of an existing
sandbox.
- Incomplete or conflicting provider state still fails closed. This
change does not erase a session, infer completed work, bypass a user
decision, or replay uncertain actions.
- A later remote setup failure can leave a claimed partial session
directory. It remains blocked rather than being overwritten.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution. The exact hosted model ID and context-window size are not
exposed in this task.

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.

DottaandPaperclip 47ded8bf97 feat: manage AI runtime credentials through Connections (#13247)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent runs need credentials for a specific provider and sign-in
method.
> - Connections already owns accounts, grants, and access permissions.
> - AI authentication should use those same boundaries.
> - This pull request adds the storage, API, adoption, and runtime
foundation.
> - Legacy agents keep their authentication until they explicitly adopt
a managed connection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**
AI credentials are configured separately from Connections. Agents cannot
consistently reuse a responsible user's account or a permitted shared
account.

**Proposed solution**
Manage AI accounts with the existing Connections grants and permissions.
Keep model and harness selection independent from credential selection.
Preserve legacy authentication until validated adoption.

**Alternatives considered**
A separate credential registry would duplicate ownership and access
policy. Automatic fallback would risk using the wrong account.

**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the shipped Apps, multi-user, secrets, and agent-runtime
capabilities. The maintainer requested the feature and reviewed the UI.
Related groundwork: #11899 (connection permissions), #10910 (connection
wizard), #11692 (Claude subscription profiles), and #11854 (Codex
account rotation).

## What Changed

- Add AI-purpose/runtime-auth contracts and an additive, idempotent
migration.
- Add Claude, OpenAI, OpenRouter, and Grok provider capabilities and
catalog entries.
- Store credentials on grants. Resolve responsible-user defaults or
explicit permitted grants.
- Isolate managed credentials and provider sessions across accounts.
Block missing credentials without ambient fallback.
- Keep imported legacy secrets unchanged during reconnect. Use
independent local Codex/Grok sign-in attempts for rotating credentials.
- Add authorization, migration, concurrent refresh, retry, cancellation,
and legacy-compatibility tests.

This is part 1 of a two-PR stack. The app UI follows in #13248. Merge
the foundation first.

## Verification

- Updated against master `04e364236`, preserving upstream provider login
and connector workflows.
- Full workspace typecheck, production build, Storybook build, and token
gates passed on the integrated branch. Final local-login changes passed
59 focused tests; new-agent and inbox regression suites passed 63 tests.
- Browser checks verified automatic local Claude account detection,
resumable Codex login commands, retry, focus restoration, and
desktop/phone layouts. Commands create their isolated directory before
invoking the CLI.
- All current-head CI checks passed on `2a996560a`, including all
server/workspace tests, browser shards, runner verification, typecheck,
build, and canary dry run. Greptile reviewed that commit at 5/5 with no
unresolved threads. Earlier local full-suite attempts hit the Mac
PostgreSQL shared-memory limit; the complete suites passed in CI.
- Renumbered the additive AI migration to `0276` after upstream
migrations and regenerated its snapshot. Existing legacy agents retain
their configuration.
- Added local login status checks, owner-scoped retry, managed OpenCode
remote homes, credential-aware model discovery, and task
connection-repair delivery.

## Risks

- Managed credential failures intentionally block execution. They do not
restore legacy fallback.
- Preview-era copied Codex/Grok subscriptions require independent
reconnect.
- The integrated branch has live provider acceptance coverage. This
update verifies local Claude detection and Codex API-key task repair; it
does not add a new subscription authorization/refresh or Daytona stress
pass.
- Runtime-auth connections must stay excluded from tool and channel
handling.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser testing. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

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
sub-agents were used.

DottaandPaperclip ed50a39c3f fix: preserve NUL characters in run-event payloads (#13325)
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
2026-09-12 13:34:45 -05:00
DottaandPaperclip c9021c6721 fix: require explicit native completion reviews (#13314)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Native runs report their outcome through paperclip_finish.
> - The server previously turned incomplete reports into human approval
requests.
> - Those requests could block a later successful run, even when no
person had requested review.
> - This pull request creates review cards only for explicit attention
requests and withdraws proven old fallback cards.
> - Agents receive useful completion feedback, while explicit approval
gates and task state protections remain in force.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13266 removed reviews caused by policy upgrades. This change
removes the separate completion fallback.

**What happened?**

An agent reported needs_review while waiting for checks without
requesting a human decision. Paperclip created a generic Native
completion review. A later successful report could not complete the task
because that old card remained pending.

**Expected behavior**

Ordinary low-risk work completes after a valid done report, a successful
run, and workspace finalization. Incomplete work stays with the agent.
Explicit approval requests remain visible and must be resolved.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Complete a native run with needs_review and no attention requests.
2. Continue the task and submit a successful done report.
3. Observe that the old implementation leaves the task in review behind
a generic confirmation card.

## What Changed

- Require explicit attention requests to create native review cards.
Route each request independently and preserve pending or declined
decisions.
- Withdraw only pending system cards with matching old decision,
assessment, effect, contract, and prompt provenance. Preserve history
and explicit or answered requests.
- Reassess an affected current result without overwriting later task
edits, runs, contracts, or workspace failures.
- Return pending approval links and required actions through the
completion tool. Reject contradictory done reports and empty review
requests before accepting a result.
- Allow one corrective continuation for incomplete results, then expose
a recovery action.
- Update status fixtures, database regressions, runner tests, and the
completion contract documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed after merging current master.
- `pnpm build` passed after merging current master.
- The combined branch passed 89 completion and Agent Chat tests. Other
targeted tests passed: 170 external-chat and reconciliation tests; 50
runner-resume and control-plane tests; 13 arbiter tests; 7 chat delivery
tests; 21 runner completion and runtime-context tests.
- The full local test attempt exposed old review fixtures and a missing
fake-provider binary. The fixtures are fixed and the helper is built.
All affected suites pass in fresh reruns. The timing-sensitive Discord
test also passed on rerun.
- All latest-head CI checks passed, including build, typecheck, general
and serialized tests, runner verification, browser tests, and canary dry
run. Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved comments.

## Risks

- Cleanup changes existing pending cards. It requires exact system
provenance and only applies to low-risk agent-claim contracts. It does
not delete history or dismiss explicit requests.
- Status still commits after the turn and workspace finalization.
Completion feedback reports current constraints and does not claim an
early status commit.
- Incomplete reports now request a bounded corrective run instead of an
automatic approval. Repeated failures expose recovery.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, code execution, and
test tools. The exact deployment identifier and context window size are
not exposed in this session.

DottaandPaperclip 7e6d512597 fix(onboarding): make chief-of-staff hiring reliable (#13317)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The first agent helps the board define work and hire other agents.
> - That agent can have the general role while its instructions require
hiring skills.
> - Missing skills and blocked schema discovery make valid requests
fail.
> - Repeated confirmation and invalid waiting guidance can turn these
failures into extra runs.
> - This PR supplies the required skills, opens read-only schema
discovery, and corrects the guidance.
> - The agent can complete an authorized hire while company approval and
duplicate checks still apply.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13068 — the first-task onboarding flow that this change repairs.
Refs #12029 — related drift between the sandbox allowlist and bundled
hiring guidance. This PR adds schema access; it does not replace the
earlier hiring-route fix.

**What happened?**

A general-role onboarding chief received hiring instructions without the
core hiring skills. Sandbox requests to the documented OpenAPI endpoint
failed. The agent then guessed question and hire payloads. The persona
required new confirmation after validation errors and described waiting
states that agents cannot set.

**Expected behavior**

A direct request authorizes the requested hire. The chief asks only for
material missing details, uses valid API payloads, and completes the
task. Formal company approval gates still apply. A saved human-input
card gives the task a valid waiting state.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an onboarding chief with role `general` through the board.
2. Ask it to hire a friendly robot with a supplied name and
responsibilities.
3. Check its assigned skills, schema requests, question cards, hire
requests, and final task state.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced on the first-task onboarding implementation after #13068. The
live local verification used this branch at `112f44610`.

**Deployment mode**

The original failure used a hosted sandbox with legacy Codex ACP. Live
verification used an isolated local instance and real `codex_local`
execution. Queue and HTTP/2 transport access is covered by automated
tests.

## What Changed

- Give board-created onboarding chiefs the existing core skills
regardless of role. Preserve explicit skill version pins, including
aliases. Keep ordinary general-agent defaults and authorization checks.
- Allow exactly `GET /api/openapi.json` through both sandbox bridge
transports.
- Publish validator-tested question, free-text, hire, and waiting
examples. Regenerate the runner API reference and capability inventory.
- Clarify direct authorization, material ambiguity, and correction of
confirmed pre-creation validation failures. Preserve uncertain-outcome
reconciliation, duplicate protection, and company approval gates.
- Align disposition instructions with agent permissions and the saved
human-input waiting path.

## Verification

- After rebasing onto current `master`: 69 targeted server tests, 110
queue/HTTP2 bridge tests, and 4 capability inventory tests passed. These
cover core skill defaults, version pins, actor restrictions, schema
access, published examples, hire validation, idempotency, and approval
gates. Waiting recovery tests and live question flows also passed before
the rebase.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed again after the rebase.
Frozen dependency installation and both generated capability checks
passed.
- Ran the full `pnpm test:run` suite. The initial run had 14 failed
server files due to local database resource limits, a missing built test
fixture, and socket failures. All 14 files passed after fixture repair
and isolated retries. UI, CLI, workspace packages, database tests, and
all 145 serialized server files passed.
- Real one-request hiring replay: one hire, one successful run, task
done in 2m16s. No repeated approval or recovery escalation.
- Real two-turn browser conversation: start with an unspecified hire,
then supply a name and friendly robot responsibilities. One
clarification card, one hire, two successful runs, task done in 3m27s of
execution. No failed writes, confirmation cards, or recovery actions.
- Assigned the hired robot a welcome-message task through the browser.
It produced a warm message under 100 words and finished in one
successful 66-second run, with no questions or recovery actions.
- The two-turn flow still asked an optional preferences question and
gave a technical final reply. These are remaining presentation limits.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `b71f83ba2`, with zero unresolved review threads.
Fixed its generator finding and passed 1,655 published-example/runtime
API tests plus server typecheck. All latest-head CI checks are green (32
passed; 2 unrelated Storybook checks skipped). The signoff-policy
browser test initially timed out while waiting for an approver run. Its
shard passed on one rerun without code changes. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34698211049).

## Risks

- Onboarding chiefs receive more default skills. Ordinary general agents
retain existing defaults, and explicit versions take precedence.
- Prompt guidance can affect model behavior. The live replays are
examples, not a guarantee that every model follows the guidance.
- Retry guidance applies only when validation confirms that nothing was
created. Uncertain outcomes still require checking existing agents.
- No database migration or new public endpoint. Existing company
boundaries, approval gates, and bounded recovery remain in force.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, model `gpt-6-astra`, with reasoning, tool use, code
editing, and live browser verification. The exact context-window size is
not exposed in this session.
