DottaandPaperclip df4ee06e2f feat(skills): select and validate tracked GitHub branches (#16288)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Skills can track a branch in an authorized GitHub repository.
> - Sources previously offered only a default-branch repair action.
> - People need to select a listed branch or enter a branch that GitHub
has not listed.
> - The server must validate the selected ref with the caller's
authorized connection.
> - This pull request connects the approved branch picker to production
APIs.
> - Installed skills remain usable while the source changes its tracked
ref.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Skills UI, shared API contracts, GitHub source services, and agent API
discovery.

**Problem or motivation**

The default-branch repair action does not let people choose another
branch. The settings service also validates the old ref when a caller
supplies a new ref other than HEAD. A missing tracked branch can prevent
connection repair even when the selected account has repository access.

**Proposed solution**

Load a bounded branch list with the authorized connection. Mark the
default branch. Search listed branches or accept a typed ref. Validate
the selected ref before saving. Keep the chosen value after a load
error, invalid ref, or concurrent update. Save the selected connection
and branch together during connection repair.

**Alternatives considered**

A default-branch button does not support a named branch. A text field
alone does not help people find the repository default or available
branches.

**Roadmap alignment**

This improves the existing Skills source manager. It does not add a new
skill import system.

**Additional context**

Refs #16066 and #16256. This is the production implementation of the
approved branch-selection Storybook journeys.

## What Changed

- Add an authorized branch-list endpoint and shared response/query
types. Register it in agent API discovery.
- Validate the requested ref, including the returned commit SHA.
Preserve source leases, revision checks, project ownership, skill
identities, selections, and installed versions.
- Add the searchable branch picker to Sources and connection repair.
Allow typed refs during branch discovery and after discovery fails.
- Keep save errors in the dialog. Retain the selected branch through a
concurrent source update.
- Use the production components and API client in Storybook. Add
keyboard, touch, loading, retry, invalid-ref, connection-repair, and
concurrent-update browser journeys.
- Update product documentation and the feature/access maps.

## Verification

- Red/green: two new database regressions fail against the previous
service and pass against the implementation.
- Linux database/service suite: 85 tests passed. This includes source
visibility, human/agent authorization, selected connections, immutable
versions, and invalid refs.
- Rebased branch and review fixes: 94 focused UI, route,
branch-validation, and fixture tests passed. Two conflict-message
regressions and the stale-retry fixture regression fail before the fix
and pass after it.
- Storybook build passed. All 26 focused browser journeys passed.
- Repository typecheck and build passed. Final UI typecheck passed after
the review fixes.
- The full local Vitest run was interrupted when the checkout and its
dependencies disappeared. It reported missing working-directory/Postgres
files and worker startup errors. Its two timed-out tests pass after the
checkout was restored. The complete CI suite passed on the final head,
`cf5d4c8f0a`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38571068332).
One unchanged workspace timestamp test required a single rerun. Its
release-minus-one-millisecond value can equal the original confirmation
time. The rerun passed.
- Live acceptance passed on implementation head `5dd935bf14` in an
isolated macOS arm64 instance with Node 24.21.0 and an authorized
private GitHub repository. The UI loaded the actual default branch,
saved branch and selected connection together, and preserved the
installed skill/version IDs after reload. An invalid typed ref retained
the draft and showed the provider error. A valid typed HEAD ref then
saved successfully. The owned runtime and database were stopped after
the test. Focused unit, Linux database, and browser suites passed again
after the error-handling review fixes.
- Greptile reviewed final head `cf5d4c8f0a` at 5/5. Both review threads
are resolved; the fresh review has no remaining findings.
- Token gates and map/catalog checks passed.
- Review entry points: `Skills / Project repository skills / 03 Branch
selection components` and `04 Branch selection journeys`. Run `pnpm
storybook` to inspect them.
- Browser command: `pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/storybook-visual/playwright.config.ts
tests/storybook-visual/skill-source-branch-selection.spec.ts
tests/storybook-visual/project-repository-skills.spec.ts`.
- Manual check: open an independent GitHub source, choose a new branch,
select the default or type a ref, save, and reload. Try an invalid ref
and confirm the selection remains in the dialog. For a project-bound
source, change its ref in project settings.

## Risks

- GitHub discovery is bounded to 100 listed branches. The default branch
is always included. Typed refs remain available.
- A source can change while the dialog is open. The API rejects a stale
revision and the UI keeps the draft for retry.
- A ref change schedules the existing refresh pipeline. Installed
versions remain available until a successful refresh imports new
content.
- No database migration or credential storage change is required.
Existing HEAD requests remain supported.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The serving model's exact identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository tools, code execution, and browser tools.

DottaandPaperclip 2ad36f4ff2 Fix skill source removal with a keep-or-delete choice (#16150)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - GitHub sources import skills and keep their updates together.
> - Disconnect only disabled a source and kept its read-only imports.
> - A disabled source could not be removed or imported again.
> - Removing a source needs an explicit decision about its imported
skills.
> - This pull request removes the source after the user keeps editable
copies or deletes the imports.
> - Existing disabled sources use the same removal flow.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #15731, #14713.

**What happened?**

Disconnect left the repository on Sources. Its Disconnect action was
then disabled. The saved repository still blocked a new import.

**Expected behavior**

Remove the repository from Sources. Require a choice to keep editable
copies or delete its imports. Allow removal of sources that are already
disconnected.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Import a repository in Skills → Sources.
2. Choose Disconnect source.
3. Observe the disconnected row and disabled removal action.
4. Try to import the repository again.

**Paperclip version or commit**

d67e3507b2.

## What Changed

- Add one confirmation with a required keep-or-delete choice.
- Remove the source and entries, including legacy disabled sources.
- Keep complete editable copies in My Skills, including shared
repository files and executable modes. Preserve skill IDs, keys,
versions, and agent assignments.
- Delete imported skills and source in one transaction with its activity
record. Check policy for every linked skill, including deselected
entries. Reject deletion of skills still used by agents.
- Fence removal with the source revision. Reload stale confirmations and
require a new choice. Prevent an in-flight refresh from restoring
removed imports.
- Reject incomplete legacy copies with a recovery message. Lock copied
skill rows against concurrent deletion and check publication succeeded.
- Add regression tests and production-page Storybook examples. Make an
initially unselected radio-card group keyboard accessible.

## Verification

- Workspace typecheck and build passed. Final affected server/UI
typechecks passed.
- Focused server, UI, and API suites passed: 114 tests initially. After
review fixes, all 21 source persistence and 58 route authorization tests
passed, including the complete repository copy regression; affected
server/UI typechecks and token gates passed again.
- Design token gates passed.
- Real isolated app: imported a public repository, assigned bro to the
CEO, verified that deletion reports the assignment, kept an editable
copy, observed the source disappear, opened the copy in My Skills, saved
an edit, and refreshed. The assignment remained. Re-imported the same
repository, deleted its new unused import, and verified the original
editable copy and assignment remained. No model tasks ran.
- Full local Vitest was attempted but terminated with exit 137 before
completion; it is not counted as a pass. Current-head sharded CI is
pending. Greptile reviewed the current head at 5/5 with no new
actionable comments. The final workspace build passed again.
- Storybook catalog aligned. The legacy removal example was inspected in
the browser; the Delete choice enables removal.
- Storybook: Skills / GitHub-synced skills / Sources · Disconnect source
and Sources · Remove disconnected source.

## Risks

- DELETE of a skill source now requires the saved revision and an
explicit copy/delete choice. Old callers must update their request body.
- Deletion removes imported skills and their records. Assigned skills
must be detached first.
- Incomplete legacy versions must be refreshed before keeping copies;
removal does not silently discard supporting files.
- Copies intentionally stop receiving upstream updates. Their IDs and
keys remain stable for assigned agents.
- No database migration. Copy writes use new managed directories and
clean up on failure. Delete restores quarantined files before releasing
publication locks on failure.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, configured model `gpt-6-astra`. The runtime
does not expose the context-window size. Used shell tools, code editing,
tests, and browser interaction.

DottaandPaperclip d432dc7fa3 Add GitHub-synced skill sources (#14713)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Company skills supply instructions and files to those agents.
> - GitHub imports already exist, but users cannot manage repositories
as skill sources.
> - Repository refresh also needs caller-authorized access and complete
local packages.
> - This pull request adds Sources inside Skills and reuses GitHub
connections from Apps.
> - Installed snapshots let agents use skills without fetching GitHub
during a run.
> - Manual refresh preserves skill identity and leaves failed imports on
their last good version.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting: skills UI, server, database, shared contracts, and
runtime materialization.

**Problem or motivation**

Users keep skills in GitHub repositories. They need a clear way to
select, import, and refresh those skills. Existing imports do not expose
repository management or consistently preserve supporting files.

**Proposed solution**

Add company-scoped skill sources. Browse repositories from all
accessible GitHub connections, or paste a public repository or branch
URL. Select whole skill packages, inspect included files and reference
warnings, and install complete, immutable snapshots. Refresh each source
manually.

**Alternatives considered**

Project repository settings hide the workflow from Skills. A second
GitHub connector would duplicate credentials and grants. Upstream
editing and PR creation are separate work.

**Roadmap alignment**

This implements the Skills Manager direction in ROADMAP.md. The
maintainer requested this scope and reviewed the component and full-app
journey stories before implementation.

Related reports: Refs #10285, Refs #10949, Refs #13464. Related work:
#14356, #13656, #9268.

## What Changed

- Add source and entry records, an idempotent migration, company-scoped
APIs, and legacy GitHub import adoption.
- Reuse current caller grants and credential refresh. Combine and
deduplicate repository inventories across accessible connections. Pasted
public URLs also prefer the active user’s authorized connections. Tokens
stay in the Git child environment, never argv or disk.
- Fetch a shallow Git snapshot at one immutable commit. Scan the full
local tree, including hidden and nested folders. Read Git objects
without checkout or archive transformations and enforce nested package
boundaries.
- Bound Git downloads to 128 MiB and three minutes. Cancel active
process groups and remove incomplete downloads. Preserve cancellation
and deadlines while progress drains; close stalled HTTP progress streams
after 30 seconds. Reuse caller-scoped temporary snapshots for
preview/import after reauthorization.
- Index repository package boundaries once and cap expanded work at
1,000 packages, 10,000 files, and 100 MiB, including repeated copies of
shared blobs. Bound path depth and the shared path index. Discovery
keeps audited manifests without retaining all package bodies.
- Resolve moving branches before fetching so unchanged discovery reuses
caller-scoped snapshots. Limit active scans, scan frequency, and new
downloads per caller and company; quotas apply before metadata reads and
across connections, and cached scans do not consume the download quota.
- Store complete versions with script content, binary bytes, and
executable modes. Preserve these through copies, runtime caches, and
runner packaging.
- Stage downloads before publication. Use source leases, revision
checks, and transactional activity records. Keep installed versions
after failures, upstream deletion, deselection, and disconnect.
- Add the approved import flow, Sources page, selection tree,
provenance, read-only Studio behavior, and saved return from GitHub
setup.
- Add package manifests, commit-pinned file previews, and separate
runtime requirements and reference warnings. Supporting files are
included together; nested skills remain independently selectable.
Preview requests reauthorize the caller and re-audit package content.
- Show installed skills as compact links beneath each source. Repository
titles open GitHub. Keep Refresh, Select skills, and Disconnect source
in a three-dot menu. Source rows omit the branch, imported count, and
refresh timestamp; action alignment and repository titles work at narrow
widths.
- Stream discovery metadata over an opt-in NDJSON response. Show
measured Git download progress and real package/file counts, animate
newly checked skills, support cancellation, and require a complete scan
before selection. Keep the existing JSON API.
- Retain component stories and add a separate full-app journey story
group. Include fixed progress states and interactive scan,
large-repository, interruption, and saving stories.
- Update Skills documentation and product contracts. Suppress private
GitHub skill references in telemetry. Privacy review requested for the
telemetry changes.

## Verification

- Local repository typecheck, full build, token gates, and Storybook
build passed during this work. Focused transport, authorization,
scanner, persistence, route, and UI tests pass. The final UI refinement
passes all eight focused UI tests, UI typecheck/build, and token gates.
The scanner resource and repeated-discovery fixes pass 132 focused
scanner, transport, authorization, source-service, route, and rate-limit
tests, plus server typecheck/build. Full-suite verification comes from
CI; the older full local Vitest run was stopped after unrelated chat
failures and a font-test failure, all of which passed in fresh focused
runs. At commit `1098d5996`, all 54 active checks pass; two optional
Storybook jobs are skipped. CI covers repository typecheck, build, the
full test suites, browser shards, and the canary dry run. Greptile is
5/5 with no open findings; the security scan also passes.
- Adversarial scanner tests verify repeated-blob byte accounting with
and without declared sizes, package/file/path caps, one-time repository
indexing, metadata-only discovery audits, and nested package boundaries.
Additional tests cover branch movement, snapshot reuse, caller/company
quotas, isolation across connections, active-lease cleanup, quota
recovery, and rejection before any metadata API call.
- Real Git tests verify hidden paths, exact binary bytes, executable
modes, export-ignore preservation, symlink/submodule reporting, pinned
commits, caller-scoped cache reuse, cancellation, cleanup, and
credential isolation. Regression tests hold both download slots with
permanently blocked progress callbacks, verify timeout/cancellation
cleanup and retry, and exercise HTTP backpressure cancellation. Access
tests cover automatic public-URL connection selection and revoked
grants. Database tests verify company and grant audiences.
- Live isolated browser test: the public `anthropics/skills` scan now
completes and discovers all 20 skills without connecting an account.
Imported canvas-design with all 83 files, opened it from Sources, and
verified the installed binary-font preview/download control. Package
previews also expose the complete file inventory before import.
Cancelled an active Git download and retried successfully to all 20
discovered skills; the browser displayed measured download progress. The
current audits reject four other packages; eligible selections remain
importable.
- Browser checks verify the simplified source rows at desktop and narrow
widths, keyboard navigation into the actions menu, Refresh from the
menu, selection, and fixture disconnect with installed skills retained.
Storybook includes a menu-open checkpoint and a 320px layout.
- Storybook includes receiving/preparing download checkpoints and a
timed full-app import journey, plus cancellation, retry,
large-repository, and saving states. Streaming tests cover split UTF-8
frames, incomplete streams, late responses, cross-company requests, HTTP
errors, and JSON compatibility.
- Earlier live acceptance on this PR imported `stitch-skill` with
`DESIGN.md`, assigned it to an agent, disconnected its source, and ran a
successful Studio test that read both installed files. An editable copy
changed independently. Both Skills variants, mobile selection, and
return from GitHub setup were exercised.
- Private access, revoked credentials, OAuth success return,
binary/script preservation, concurrent refresh, transaction rollback,
version pins, and legacy adoption have automated coverage. A real
private-repository OAuth grant was not created during this test.

## Risks

- The migration groups recognizable legacy imports without provider
calls. Their first successful refresh completes the local package
snapshot.
- Reference checks are advisory. They cover Markdown links and explicit
relative resource paths, not arbitrary runtime dependency graphs.
Preview text is capped at 64 KiB; imported bytes remain complete.
- Git must be installed on the server. Shallow fetches still download
the branch snapshot, including files outside selected packages.
Downloads have size/time/concurrency limits. Temporary caches are
bounded and caller-scoped. GitHub API quota still applies to repository
metadata and the connection picker; content no longer uses per-file API
requests. Failed scans retain installed content.
- Sources depend on the current caller's GitHub access. A saved
connection does not grant access to another person's token.
- GitHub script support and immediate manual refresh are explicit
maintainer-approved requirements. The operator trusts the selected
repository and accepts upstream script and executable-mode changes on
refresh. Static audits are not a sandbox or a guarantee of safe code;
agents may later invoke installed helpers under their runtime
permissions. Import and refresh do not execute scripts, hooks, package
installation, or builds. Raw URL and skills.sh imports keep their prior
script restrictions.
- Source originals remain read-only. Refresh affects subsequent unpinned
runs; explicit pins and active runs retain their versions.
- The telemetry change removes source-managed GitHub identifiers from
skill-reference events. It introduces no event or field. Please review
the privacy boundary.
