Nicky LeachandClaude Opus 5.5 11ac90e31f fix(build): typecheck server/src/__tests__ and fix every type error (#18739)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server has about 1,100 test and helper files in
`server/src/__tests__`
> - `server/tsconfig.json` excludes that directory, Vitest does not
check types, and no script runs the tsconfig in that directory
> - So a test can call a function with the wrong arguments and still
pass, and no tool reports it
> - This gap hid 2,168 real type errors, and some of them hid tests that
did not test what they claim
> - This pull request fixes all of these errors and adds the directory
to the server layers from paperclipai/paperclip#18737
> - The benefit is that a type error in a server test now fails the
typecheck, with no baseline and no backlog

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18737, which is merged and added the server
layers. Refs paperclipai/paperclip#18738, which is merged and checks the
test projects outside `pnpm -r`, so it is not a duplicate. Refs
paperclipai/paperclip#18137, which records that this directory has no
check.

**What happened?**

No tool checked the types of 1,074 of the 1,101 files in
`server/src/__tests__`. I searched `package.json`, the workflows, and
all tsconfig files. 27 files are in the program of another tsconfig, and
these 27 have 0 errors. 11 of the 27 are in
`helpers/maintenance/tsconfig.json`. No script ran that project when I
measured this. paperclipai/paperclip#18738 now runs it.

**Expected behavior**

The server typecheck checks these files, and a type error fails the
check.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. On the base commit, run `tsc -p server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json
--noEmit`. It reports 6,536 errors and needs 12.3 GiB.
2. Add a type error to any file in `server/src/__tests__`.
3. Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`. It passes.

**Paperclip version or commit**

I measured the error breakdown below on commit `8dfd632452`, with
TypeScript 7.0.2. The branch now includes master up to
paperclipai/paperclip#18865.

**Deployment mode**

Not applicable. This issue applies to development and CI. No production
source file in the server changes.

### Error breakdown

Each row adds one change to the row above.

| Step | Total errors | Change | Cause |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Config as committed | 6,536 | | |
| Add `src/types/*.d.ts` | 4,447 | -2,089 | Config. The Express request
types were missing. |
| Set `rootDir` to the repository root | 2,436 | -2,011 | Config. |
| Set `allowImportingTsExtensions` | 2,181 | -255 | Config. Vitest
accepts `.ts` imports. |
| Add `ES2024.Promise` to `lib` | 2,138 | -43 | Config. Node 24 has
`Promise.withResolvers`. |
| Set `allowJs` for `.mjs` imports | 2,148 | +10 | Config. It removes 8
`TS7016` errors and shows new real errors. |
| Set `declaration` to false | 2,142 | -6 | Config. Tests emit nothing.
|
| Count only files in `server/src` | 2,058 | -84 | Other packages: 53
Daytona, 29 Runner test, 2 UI. |

So 4,478 of the 6,536 errors (69%) came from config or scope, and 2,058
are real type errors in 314 files. The 29 Runner test errors are also
real, which gives 2,087 errors. Tests that master added after this
measurement had 81 more errors, so this pull request fixes 2,168 errors.

This table classifies the first 2,058 errors.

| Kind of real error | Errors |
| --- | --- |
| Wrong argument or assignment type | 1,023 |
| Stale or partial fixture objects | 525 |
| Property that the type does not have | 317 |
| Missing narrowing of null or unknown | 101 |
| Implicit any | 60 |
| Missing name or module | 16 |
| Other | 16 |

### What the type errors hid

Most errors were stale fixtures and loose mocks. These errors hid real
test problems, and this pull request fixes them:

- **A test that never ran.** `instrumentation.test.ts` required
`sdk-trace-base`, which is not installed. So 3 span tests were skipped.
They now run and pass.
- **Assertions that could not fail.**
- `issue-thread-interactions-service` used a company ID as an issue ID.
- `status-card-evaluation-work` compared `[]` with `[]` in a rollback
check.
- `slack-conversation-lifecycle` read `item.issueId`, which does not
exist.
  - `email-channels` used a permission key that does not exist.
- `heartbeat-project-env` imported `LOW_TRUST_REVIEW_PRESET`, which is
not exported. The value was undefined.
- **Postgres processes that did not stop.** 11 test files called `stop`
on the test database helper. That method does not exist, and the helper
method is `cleanup`.
- **Arguments that the service ignored.**
- `methodKey` is now `connectionMethodKey` in the Daytona, Unikraft,
1Password, and Railway tests.
- 108 calls passed `"owner-user"` to a parameter that expects an options
object.
- 9 chat wizard fixtures passed `managementContext` as `source`, so they
ran `existing_app` and not `manifest`.
  - 2 tests passed a `{ userId }` actor that the function ignores.
- Inserts into `environments` passed a `companyId` column that the table
does not have.
- **Problems in tests that master added during this work.**
- `sandbox-creation-operations` read `database.connectionString` when an
external test database was set. In that mode `database` is undefined, so
the fixture would stop with a TypeError. It now uses the external URL.
- `idle-completed-history` set a Dot operation to `dispatched`. That is
a Muse status, and the Dot type does not have it. The fixture now uses
`admitted`, which is a real in-flight Dot status.

### Possible product problems, not changed

These may be real problems in production code or types. I did not change
them, because this pull request does not change production behavior:

- `decisions-service` `service.create` does not validate the lenient
`cancel_issue_tree` input.
- `createConnection` ignores `input.connectionPurpose`.
- The `createConnection` route schema default stores `{}` for
`transportConfig`.
- `prepareManagedAiRuntime` accepted the invalid value `mode:
"connection"`.
- `createBinding` accepts invalid `projectionClass` strings outside
class 3.
- `ensureManagedProjectWorkspace` forwards an untyped `repoRef` by
spread.
- `routineVariableSchema.label` is optional, but `RoutineVariable.label`
is required.
- `ToolRunContext.projectId` may be too strict.
- `withdrawInteraction` reads `issue.status`, which its type omits.
- `issueService.list` and `reconcileNativeFinalizations` omit fields
that they return at runtime.
- `createGitHubExternalObjectProvider` handles `tokenProvider: null`,
but its type forbids this value.

## What Changed

- Fixed the 2,168 type errors. The diff changes 322 test and helper
files.
- Corrected `server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. Editors and the
typecheck now read the same options and report the same errors.
- Added three `test-tree` layers to
`server/scripts/typecheck-layers.mjs`. They read the server layers as
declarations, and any error fails them. A hash of the path selects the
shard, so a new file does not move other files.
- Added `server/scripts/typecheck-stubs/daytona-sdk.d.ts`. Server tests
reach Daytona plugin source, and the root install does not have
`@daytonaio/sdk`.
- Changed two imports in `ui/src/lib/issue-execution-policy.ts` to use
`.js` extensions, because server tests import this file.
- Made `declarationsConfig` and `--declarations-only` skip the
`test-tree` layers, because these layers emit nothing. Other projects
read only the source layers. Added a test for this.
- Updated `doc/DEVELOPING.md`.

## Verification

Run these commands:

```sh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck
pnpm exec vitest run server/scripts/typecheck-layers.test.mjs
```

Results on macOS (arm64), Node 24, 16 cores. Each check ran after the
merge of paperclipai/paperclip#18738 unless the row says otherwise:

| Check | Commit | Result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Server typecheck, `PAPERCLIP_TYPECHECK_LOW_MEMORY=1`, all 7 layers |
`6e45a08573` | Exit 0, 0 errors, 62 seconds, peak 3.52 GiB |
| `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs --low-memory` | `a3306bd13e`
| Exit 0, 0 errors, 42 seconds, peak 3.25 GiB |
| The same script with `--reuse-declarations` | `1b878aabc0` | Exit 0, 0
errors |
| `typecheck-layers.test.mjs` and `live-recovery-work.test.ts` |
`01db5634e4` | 90 passed. These include real compiler runs for a pass, a
type error, and an invalid tsconfig. |
| `tsconfig.declarations.json` after a full server typecheck |
`0fb1e4fb0a` | It references only `below`, `cycle`, and `above`. No
generated config names a `tsconfig.layers.json` file. |
| Owned runtime test in `idle-completed-history` | `e8f2f448ac` |
Passed, with the fix that master later replaced |
| `idle-incoming-wake`, `plugin-idle-manager`, and the changed
`chat-channels` test | `6e45a08573` | 30 passed |
| Runner `native-execution.test.ts` | `eab4dcc1f4` | 114 passed |
| The 19 server test files that changed since `eab4dcc1f4`, and
`typecheck-layers.test.mjs` | `259737b700` | 4,275 of 4,277 passed. The
2 failures are in `chat-channels` and are in the list of 7 below. |

The peak is the largest single process, from `/usr/bin/time -l`. Peaks
for the server typecheck were between 3.42 GiB and 3.56 GiB across 8
runs. Peaks for the test projects were 3.25 GiB and 3.37 GiB across 2
runs. I did not measure a cgroup.

**Runtime check of the fixes.** Types do not prove that a test still
works. So I ran all 309 changed server test files, 11,929 tests, before
the rebase onto paperclipai/paperclip#18737:

| Result | Tests | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Passed | 11,913 | Includes the 2 tests and the 54 `dot-runner` tests
that passed in a later run, as described below. |
| Failed | 7 | The same 7 tests also fail on the commit before the
fixes. |
| Skipped | 9 | These tests have their own skip conditions: `sentry` 5,
and 1 each in `bundled-plugin-registration`, `customer-success-cloud`,
`onepassword-connection`, and `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise`. |

The 7 tests that fail with and without this change, on my machine:

- 3 tests in `chat-channels` and `email-channels` stop with `ENOENT` on
a `SKILL.md` file. The path is in the parent checkout, above the git
worktree that I used, so I expect that the worktree is the cause. I did
not prove this.
- `workspace-instance-cleanup` compares `/private/var/...` with
`/var/...`. This is a macOS symlink difference.
- 2 tests in `git-reproducible-managed-checkouts` get
`unknown_base_git_files` and expect `unpushed_managed_checkout`. I did
not find the cause.
- 1 more test in `chat-channels`, `materializes direct external-chat
finals once`, gets `undefined`. I did not find the cause.

CI is the check for these 7 tests. `ci / verify` passed on `eab4dcc1f4`.

Failures during this work:

- My fix to `agent-runtime-connector-access` changed an invalid
permission key in the setup, but not in the assertion. The runtime check
found this. I corrected the assertion, and the file passes.
- `heartbeat-plugin-environment` failed one wait in the full run. It
passed three times alone, so I think that load caused the failure. It
can fail again under load.
- `dot-runner` skipped all 54 tests in the full run because `cargo` was
not on my `PATH`. It then passed 54 of 54 with the toolchain on the
`PATH`.
- My first `lib` value removed the default DOM types, and the error
count went up by 375. I added the DOM libraries.
- My Daytona stub with bare `any` left 48 errors, because generic
helpers then inferred `unknown`. I added shapes that return promises.
- One fix to `agent-secrets-routes` used `class_3_static_lease`, and the
test failed. That class allows only specific paths. I reverted to
`unclassified`.
- `ci / General tests (server (8/12))` failed on `259737b700` because of
the flaky port in `idle-completed-history`. paperclipai/paperclip#18853
fixed this test on master, so this pull request keeps that fix.

**Audit of the diff.** I counted these patterns in added and removed
lines, to find fixes that only hide an error:

| Pattern | Added | Removed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `@ts-ignore` | 0 | 0 |
| `@ts-expect-error` | 0 | 1 |
| `.skip` | 0 | 0 |
| `as any` | 9 | 9 |
| `: any` | 11 | 2 |
| `as never` | 8 | 2 |
| `as unknown as` | 35 | 4 |
| `Promise<unknown>` | 16 | 5 |
| `expect(` | 128 | 113 |

No hunk removes more `expect(` calls than it adds. Three removals of
test content were intentional, and I checked each one:

- `muse-control` removed `signalToken`. Line 1012 already asserts that
it is absent.
- `merged-pr-confirmation-sweep` removed legacy aliases. Other tests
cover them.
- `heartbeat-workspace-branch-containment` removed a `finalize` branch
that no test row can reach.

Some partial fixtures stay unchecked through `as unknown as` and
`Promise<unknown>`, mostly in `issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes`
and `issue-comment-reopen-routes`.

**Accuracy of the check.** One program over the tree and the three
shards reported the same errors at the same positions. Memory, as the
peak of the largest process on one thread, was 3.93 GiB for one program
and 2.43 GiB for the largest shard. I measured these two values before
the fixes.

Not run or not proven:

- I did not run the full `pnpm test:run`, or a root `pnpm build`. I
expect CI to run the full suites.
- I did not run the 4 GiB container check, or the full
`scripts/typecheck-low-memory.mjs`. The peaks above come from macOS, so
they are not a Linux cgroup measurement.
- I did not run the UI typecheck after the merges.
- `workspace-runtime-https-live-exercise` is skipped, so its `cleanup`
fix did not run.

## Risks

- **A large diff in test files.** 328 files change. A pull request that
edits the same tests can get merge conflicts. New tests on master can
also add type errors before this merges. Any such error fails this check
and needs a fix here.
- **A higher cost for changes to source types.** A change to a type can
add errors in test files that the author did not touch. The author must
then fix them. This is the purpose of the check, but it is new work.
- **Changed test behavior.** Some tests now run paths that they did not
run before, such as the 9 chat wizard fixtures and the 3 span tests.
They pass here, but they can be more sensitive to timing or to the
environment.
- **The Daytona stub can go stale.** The stub is written by hand. If the
plugin uses a new SDK member, the typecheck reports an error until
someone updates the stub.
- **The release path.** `release-verify.yml` and `scripts/release.sh`
run `pnpm -r typecheck`, so they now run this check.
- **The tsconfig change.** The test transform reads
`server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json`. The options that I changed are for
type checks, and the runs above passed.
- **A gap that remains.** Tsconfigs in `packages/paperclip-runner` and
in most sandbox provider plugins exclude `*.test.ts`. This check does
not read most of those test files, so they can still drift. That work is
separate from this pull request.

DottaandPaperclip d73d7a8651 perf(skills): batch repository dependency reads (#16377)
Batch dependency Markdown reads through the bounded Git snapshot reader and queue newly discovered dependencies once. Preserve package contents, limits, authorization, audits, and reference order.

Validation: 63 affected cases; full typecheck/build; exact-head full CI, E2E, Superagent and Apex 5/5. Local Git comparison: 502 individual reads reduced to three batches with identical entries.

DottaandPaperclip 4460785534 fix(skills): preserve referenced files in large repository imports (#16308)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use skills imported from project repositories.
> - Large repositories fall back to isolated skill folders.
> - That fallback drops shared files and turns advisory links into
import failures.
> - This pull request retains bounded referenced files and keeps missing
references advisory.
> - Users can import valid skills such as test-audit without editing the
source repository.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16066. Refs #16256. Refs #16288. Related draft #15730 adds
optional reference selection to individual skill packages. This fix
applies automatic repository fallback and does not add that selection
UI.

**What happened?**

A project source showed 86 warnings. It rejected 23 skills solely
because references were absent from the isolated package. It also
treated web routes and inline Markdown examples as files. For
test-audit, repository scripts were resolved inside the skill folder.

**Expected behavior**

Retain referenced files that fit the package limits. Missing references
must not block an otherwise valid selected skill. Preserve content
validation and installed shared files.

**Steps to reproduce**

Import paperclipai/paperclip at commit
09a2f0b7b0 as a repository source. Select
test-audit. Inspect its references and saved files. Repeat with a skill
whose optional reference is missing.

## What Changed

- Add a bounded fallback that keeps skill folders and transitive
Markdown references with their original repository paths.
- Resolve existing repository-root resource paths. Ignore site-relative
web links and inline Markdown examples.
- Keep missing references advisory, including explicit imports and
automatic project imports.
- Share fallback with file previews. Reinspect cached dependency
failures at an unchanged upstream commit.
- Retain existing versions when fallback cannot preserve installed
shared files. Keep file limits, content audits, authorization and work
budgets.
- Update product contracts and Skills maps. No schema or public API
changes.

## Verification

- Red/green: three original regression cases failed before the fix and
passed afterward. Two review controls also reproduced omitted directory
siblings and duplicate blob reads before their fixes.
- Focused scanner, repository package, persistence, project
synchronization and GitHub access tests: 126 cases passed across local
and isolated Linux runs.
- Full recursive typecheck and `pnpm build` passed locally on
`555bd3fc90314dbf23ed0ffe7034429946c1a471`. The [full Paperclip CI
workflow](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/38596749890)
passed on that head, including all general, serialized, Runner and eight
browser test shards. The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` was stopped
after CI completed (exit 143); it is not claimed as a completed local
full-suite pass.
- Real GitHub scan at the pinned public commit: 77 skills, 454 retained
files, 9,117,635 bytes. test-audit has no missing references. The full
source reports 23 warnings, including remaining file validation and
genuine missing-reference notices.
- Local browser: scanned the public repository, selected test-audit and
create-issue-interaction-ui, and imported both. The second skill
retained an advisory missing-reference warning. Both remained installed
after reload. The saved package exposes `scripts/run-vitest-stable.mjs`
(25,813 bytes) and `scripts/general-server-shard.mjs` (2,813 bytes). No
GitHub responses were mocked. No model execution was needed for this
import fix.
- Map checks and Git whitespace checks passed. Greptile is 5/5 on the
current head with both review findings resolved. The external Superagent
security scan concluded neutral/inconclusive after its agent exceeded
the prompt deadline. A check-run retry request returned HTTP 404. All
Paperclip CI gates passed, but merge is held pending a conclusive
security scan; this is not an all-checks-green claim.

## Risks

- Dependency detection covers explicit Markdown links and resource
paths. It does not infer all script imports or runtime dependencies.
- Referenced content can exceed package limits. The existing bounds
still apply, and warnings disclose omissions.
- Content validation still rejects invalid entrypoints and omits
rejected support files. This change does not make every upstream skill
importable.
- No migration is required. Existing sources with the old dependency
error are inspected again on refresh.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The runtime did not expose the exact serving
model ID or context window. Used reasoning, code editing, terminal
execution and browser tools. No subagents were used.

Dotta a9830414c7 Preserve repository dependencies when importing GitHub skills (#15731)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its Skills library imports reusable instructions from GitHub.
> - Some skills depend on shared files and sibling skills outside their
folders.
> - Directory-only imports lose those dependencies.
> - This pull request keeps repository files together and lets users
select which skills appear in the library.
> - Agents receive the original files and paths through the existing
skill delivery system.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #14713. Related: #13656.

**Current behavior**

GitHub imports copy independent skill directories. Shared scripts,
policies, helper skills, and credit files can be omitted. One
shared-file error can block every skill.

**Proposed behavior**

New imports keep repository files together at the scanned commit. Show
all skills with their folders and select every skill by default.
Collapse individual package files. Omit unsupported or oversized files
with a warning. Import available content without repair choices or an
extra confirmation. Keep warnings on the saved source.

**Reason and benefit**

Skills can read their shared repository files after Paperclip delivers
them to an agent. Original instructions stay unchanged. Users can
inspect included files and understand omissions before and after import.

## What Changed

- Store immutable company-scoped repository snapshots and associate them
with skill versions. Regenerate the migration after merging master.
- Preserve original bytes, binary encoding, and executable modes.
Shared-file changes version each usable selected skill. Pinned versions
retain their original files.
- Deliver a discovery wrapper with the original tree under
`.paperclip-repository/`. Preserve invocation policy when present. Fork
and create-from-existing retain repository files.
- Keep repository files together for new UI imports. Show every skill,
select all by default, and collapse package files. Remove the
packaging-mode menu. Keep the mobile import footer visible.
- Warn about symlinks, submodules, oversized files, missing references,
and invalid optional manifests. A malformed skill remains selected with
a Needs setup warning. Usable skills still publish, and its original
file remains repository support content. Source warnings persist through
refresh. Unsafe execution and secret-disclosure findings omit the
affected files before snapshot publication.
- Expose saved repository files in the installed skill viewer, including
binary encoding and executable flags. Reads use the immutable
company-scoped snapshot; relative instruction links resolve from their
original repository directory.
- Audit delivered inventories and derive trust from all repository
files. Accept evaluation prose while retaining dynamic-execution
findings. Read blobs in one bounded Git batch and check budgets before
reading support files. Imports never execute setup commands.
- Add scanner, database, delivery, UI, and browser regressions. Update
Storybooks, screenshots, and documentation.

## Verification

- 69 focused scanner, Git snapshot, delivery, and PostgreSQL lifecycle
tests passed. They cover partial imports, warning persistence, missing
references, binary files, executable modes, copies, pinned versions,
cancellation, company isolation, and batched Git reads.
- 110 import, skill-detail, selection-tree, saved-file link, and
Markdown renderer tests passed. A file-switch regression failed before
the resolver fix and passed afterward. Browser walkthroughs cover the
all-selected open tree, repository preview, non-blocking warnings,
missing references, setup problems, warning persistence, and mobile
layout.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed. Runner E2E TypeScript
checks and design-token gates passed. The full serial local suite was
attempted and stopped after over an hour. The existing 40,000-file Git
streaming stress test failed after 303 seconds on macOS; the broad local
suite is not counted as passed. All 55 applicable PR checks passed on
the final commit, including the full sharded CI suite. Two optional
Storybook workflows were skipped; the five local Storybook walkthroughs
passed.
- On October 12, live campaigns imported the private Poteto repository
through the production GitHub Sources UI, selected architect and bro,
and invoked them with native Codex on local and Daytona. The source
connection was disabled before invocation. Independent filesystem
inspections matched every supported Git blob, size, and executable mode.
Both tasks completed and cleanup passed. Campaigns:
`local-2026-10-12T15-07-39-504Z` (both environments),
`local-2026-10-12T16-08-39-682Z` (local), and
`local-2026-10-12T16-03-33-938Z` (Daytona). Each of the two selected
skills received all 234 supported repository files. Later changes only
affect the installed-file viewer and documentation. This qualifies skill
delivery and instruction reads, not every Poteto workflow or adapter.
- A manual source-checkout test drive imported a synthetic private
GitHub repository with a symlink, an oversized file, a missing
reference, and malformed skill metadata. Available skills published with
their shared checklist. The walkthrough found duplicate warning text
after import; the final UI fix removes that duplicate. The file viewer
exposes saved repository dependencies and resolves authored relative
links without changing the instructions. A follow-up live refresh
omitted unsafe helper files with warnings, preserved every safe file
byte, and survived a server restart.

Screenshots below use the production UI with Storybook fixtures. They do
not replace the live GitHub and runtime checks.

## Risks

- Each selected skill carries a repository copy in the runtime. The
database stores each snapshot once. Runtime transfer and storage
increase with the number of assigned skills.
- Runtime budgets remain: 9,990 repository entries, 1 MiB per file, and
61 MiB total. File omissions are recorded as warnings. Source-access or
download failures retain installed versions.
- Import success does not prove that every skill can run. Environment
dependencies, credentials, delegation tools, and schedules still need
configuration. Imported setup scripts are not executed.
- Live runtime coverage is native Codex on local and Daytona. Other
adapters use the shared delivery path but were not exercised in these
campaigns.

The roadmap marks Skills Manager as shipped. This extends the existing
importer. Related pull requests were checked.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with repository inspection, code

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.

## 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.
