DottaandPaperclip 3ce8d976a9 Add experimental Paperclip Notebook MCP connection (#16984)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip connects agents to external tools through saved accounts
and per-action permissions.
> - Notebook exposes artifact management through an ordinary remote MCP
server with OAuth.
> - A private pilot needs a hidden, default-off catalog and execution
gate.
> - Local file publishing belongs to Notebook, which can accept bounded
file bytes through ordinary MCP tools.
> - Paperclip therefore needs the connector registration and generic
availability checks, with no file-transfer architecture.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Apps catalog, experimental feature metadata, connection setup, and
connector availability.

**Problem or motivation**

Users need to connect Notebook as their Cloud account, assign its tools
to agents, and retain Paperclip's normal Allowed / Ask first / Off
rules. The private pilot must remain hidden until an operator enables
it. Notebook should own its upload protocol and local publishing script.

**Proposed solution**

Register a personal remote MCP OAuth connection at Notebook's canonical
endpoint. Reuse existing OAuth discovery, credential storage, refresh,
reconnect, and removal. Enforce availability through generic catalog
feature metadata and saved application identity. Keep Notebook's
standalone uploader in its own service repository; it calls the ordinary
gateway and receives no saved OAuth credential.

**Alternatives considered**

A gallery-only filter permits retained tools and deep links while
disabled. A shared workspace publisher and private upload-ticket
transport add runtime behavior that a normal MCP connector does not
require. Notebook can receive file bytes directly through its own tools
instead.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends Connected Apps and supports Artifacts and Work Products.
ROADMAP.md and related PRs were checked. This PR is standalone on
master. The separate OAuth lifecycle and file-transfer proposals (#17085
and #17086) are closed and are not dependencies.

## What Changed

- Register Notebook's personal MCP OAuth method, canonical endpoint,
scopes, catalog metadata, and branding.
- Declare managed `enablePaperclipNotebook` with false defaults and no
user-facing settings toggle or staging opt-in.
- Use generic availability metadata for gallery/setup, retained
connection identity, OAuth completion, health, tool/context discovery,
and dispatch. Resources/prompts recheck before credentials, including
retained handles. Removal remains available while disabled.
- Resolve catalog application identity from the saved application key,
so editable connection labels cannot bypass the hidden gate.
- Select a method's sole supported credential kind when no kind is
supplied.
- Keep UI changes to metadata-driven availability and existing
setup/reconnect controls.
- Document Notebook's service-owned upload script, inline publication,
ordinary action policies, and credential behavior.
- Add ordinary MCP OAuth, assignment, action-policy, disabled-state,
settings, and catalog tests.

No workspace contribution registry, private transfer endpoint, native
publisher, Runner file-reader change, or Paperclip CLI upload command is
included. The entire native-runtime and CLI trees match master. Upload
code lives in `paperclip-cloud/notebook/`.

## Verification

Source head: `65ef741e4f476c67425b57d2fb2d6d4c00e99b06`, directly on
master `53732c811bb69655eb43d3d12f2063ae4ca5ad67`. The diff is 42 files.
Shared execution changes only enforce generic catalog availability; tool
access also resolves saved application identity and the sole supported
credential kind. Neither module contains Notebook upload logic.

- Catalog/shared/settings/UI suites: 592 tests passed across 12 files.
Shared/server/UI typechecks passed using installed compilers.
- Fresh real PostgreSQL generic MCP suite: 84/84 passed at final source;
server typecheck and module boundaries pass. Coverage includes personal
OAuth, ordinary refresh/reconnect, assignments, Allowed / Ask first /
Off, hidden feature enforcement, and local credential removal. Four new
resources/prompts cases failed against the prior code and pass after
filtering saved application identity and rechecking before credentials.
They prove missing/relabelled setup markers and stale eligibility cannot
dispatch or read secrets while disabled; an ordinary provider remains
available with the flag off.
- The full tool-access service suite passed 463/464 cases. One unchanged
Google Workspace `slides.write` case timed out at 15 seconds; it passed
on one isolated retry without source or timeout changes. Its exact test
block matches master. The cause is not established; final-head CI must
qualify the complete suite.
- Maps, module boundaries, token gates, and whitespace checks passed.
Byte comparisons confirm the former transfer/runtime/CLI surfaces match
master.
- Fresh exact-head Greptile is 5/5 with zero unresolved findings after
an exhaustive feedback audit. Current-head CI workflow
[39625691137](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39625691137)
succeeded, including both required checks (`ci / verify`, `ci / e2e`),
Build, and browser E2E. Supplementary security/advisory scan status is
recorded in the PR Checks panel and qualification receipt; prior-head
scans are not counted. The superseded `4bd7af9b2e` completed CI
successfully, but Greptile found the valid resources/prompts
availability gap described above. It was fixed, replied to, and
resolved; earlier-head results do not qualify this revision.

Preserved environment failures: the first socket-restricted UI/route run
had 93 listener setup failures, and the same 93 cases passed with
local-socket access. The package-manager launcher could not fetch its
signature metadata; installed compilers passed without dependency or
configuration changes. The full service timeout and isolated retry
remain recorded separately. The superseded `585e870e73` CI also failed
an unchanged agent-chat project-plan revision assertion after task
creation; the complete spec and relevant runtime sources match master,
and a same-master prior run passed. Its cause is not established. Logs
are preserved; no test or timeout was weakened and no old-head rerun was
requested. The subsequent heads run full CI independently; no prior-head
pass substitutes for current qualification.

The Notebook uploader requires a separate service release. This public
PR adds no uploader runtime to Paperclip and claims no newly deployed
browser/agent acceptance. The Notebook-owned upload path is qualified
separately. Code-owner review remains required before merge.

## Risks

- The feature flag gates the curated connector; it does not create a
Notebook service-side team allowlist or block arbitrary standard MCP
URLs.
- Publishing, sharing, and deletion retain the existing assignment and
action-policy boundaries.
- The hidden feature must be checked for retained tools and saved
identity, including when connection labels change.
- Disconnect removes local credentials. It does not revoke the remote
Notebook authorization; the owner can revoke it in Notebook.
- Ordinary refresh uses the existing client. A lost response after
refresh-token rotation can require reconnect.
- The standalone Notebook script and its bounded upload tools must ship
together in the Notebook service before that documented convenience path
is available.
- No database schema, workflow, lockfile, shared transfer, or Runner
change is included. No merge, deployment, or rollout is performed by
this update.

## Model Used

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

ea8e686197 fix(tools): distinguish requested from granted OAuth scopes (#14059)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Apps use OAuth connection grants to let agents reach external
services.
> - Paperclip stored a requested scope as a granted scope when a
provider omitted `scope` from its token response.
> - A live MCP connection showed why that matters: the provider reported
scopes beyond the requested scope. Scope names alone do not establish
write capability.
> - This PR records whether a scope came from the provider or from
Paperclip's request, and flags asserted extra scopes.
> - The result is an honest scope record across authorization and
refresh, including for self-hosted and Cloud instances.

**Review order:** shared scope resolver and OAuth write paths in
`server/src/services/tool-access.ts` → optional schema/types/validator
fields → focused tests in
`server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`. This PR changes the
shared OAuth record. The Enterpret catalog definition is separate in
**#13906**.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue covers this bug. Related: **#13906** adds the official
read-only Enterpret connector with OAuth and organization tokens.

**What happened?**

The OAuth callback stored `normalizeOauthScopes(token.scope ??
requestedScopes)`. When the provider omitted `scope`, Paperclip recorded
the request as though it were a verified grant. In the live case:

```text
Paperclip requested     mcp:read
Provider token reply    no scope field
Paperclip recorded      ["mcp:read"]
Token introspection    openid email profile mcp:read mcp:write
```

The access token is opaque. A negative introspection control returned
`active: false` with no scope, confirming the wider scope belonged to
the live token. The grants API could therefore present requested scopes
as though the provider had asserted them. This observation did not
establish access to write tools.

**Expected behavior**

Store the provider's asserted scope when present. When absent, identify
the value as an inference from the request. Preserve that provenance
through refresh and report extra scopes only when the provider actually
asserts them.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Use an OAuth provider that omits `scope` from its token response.
2. Complete consent after requesting `mcp:read`.
3. Read the connection or grant: before this fix, the stored `scopes`
looked like an asserted read-only grant.
4. The focused fixture tests reproduce the callback and refresh record
without needing a live provider.

**Deployment mode**

The shared OAuth path affects self-hosted and Cloud. The live provider
evidence came from an isolated self-hosted runtime.

## What Changed

- Added `resolveGrantedOauthScopes`. It records `scopeSource: provider`
when the token response asserts scope, or `requested_fallback` when it
does not. `unrequestedScopes` contains only provider-asserted scopes
outside the request.
- Applied the resolver at initial authorization and refresh. A refresh
without `scope` retains a previous provider assertion and warning; a
fresh assertion can replace them.
- Stored the actual authorization request per grant as
`providerTenant.oauth.requestedScopes`. This keeps a multi-user
connection's refresh baseline tied to the right grant. Generic MCP OAuth
also records discovered scopes when it sends them; curated apps retain
their reviewed request.
- Carried provenance onto the connection and default organization grant.
The organization grant does not receive token expiry, so its existing
refresh/reconnect behavior remains intact.
- Added optional fields to database JSONB schema types, shared types,
and validation. Existing grants need no migration or backfill.

This PR **does not change authorization decisions**, reject tokens,
introspect providers, or show a new UI warning. If a provider hides an
over-grant by omitting `scope`, Paperclip still cannot discover it.
`unrequestedScopes: []` with `requested_fallback` means **unknown**, not
least privilege.

## Verification

**Current head:** `7fde922a8`. Reconciled with master `88ff98b83`; the
final diff is six OAuth implementation, contract, and test files.
Preserved master's generic `offline_access` consent and legacy callback
baseline, and verified requested versus provider-asserted scopes on each
grant. Removed four duplicated GitHub token-method fixture properties
after fresh review.

All 504 focused tests in seven suites pass on the final head. Local
workspace build, recursive typecheck, build-gap typecheck, module
boundaries, node-version, token gates, and runtime push-policy checks
pass. The full local Vitest run completed with 15,610 passing tests, 91
skipped, and six failures in heartbeat/workspace suites; all six
failures reproduced on unchanged master `88ff98b83` in an isolated
baseline worktree. These suites and their runtime code are unchanged by
this PR. Greptile is 5/5 on this exact head with no actionable findings.
All current-head GitHub checks are green: 53 successful check runs, two
intentional Storybook skips, and the successful Snyk status. The
initially failed adapter-access and signoff-heartbeat shards both passed
their single rerun. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37521588330).

The regression coverage includes omitted and explicit scopes, asserted
extra scopes, refresh preservation, per-user request baselines, generic
MCP discovery, and organization grants. No live provider token is needed
to reproduce these recordkeeping cases.

## Risks

- Existing records keep their scope list but have no source marker.
Historical provenance cannot be recovered from them.
- A refresh that omits `scope` preserves the last known assertion. A
provider that silently narrows a grant will not update the record until
it asserts a new scope.
- A provider that omits `scope` leaves the actual scope unasserted. This
PR cannot discover scopes omitted from the response or establish
endpoint capabilities. Enterpret’s provider fixes are separate
follow-ups.
- Scope provenance is additive metadata. No policy path uses these new
fields to allow or deny an action.

## Model Used

Implementation and tests: Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`) through Claude
Code with extended thinking, tools, and code execution. PR text cleanup:
Codex GPT-6 (exact host model ID and context window were not exposed;
tool use).

DottaandPaperclip 839cac1343 fix: request supported offline access for generic MCP OAuth (#14950)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use external MCP tools through the governed gateway.
> - Remote MCP connections can use OAuth access tokens that expire.
> - Some providers issue refresh tokens only after an offline-access
request and consent.
> - Resource scopes hid that identity-provider capability in the generic
connection flow.
> - This pull request requests supported offline access and tests expiry
through a local MCP server.
> - The benefit is continued tool access without another sign-in when
the provider permits refresh.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related PR: #13447 addresses the same OAuth symptom together with
managed Codex configuration. This PR focuses on generic MCP OAuth. It
also covers consent, explicit scope overrides, legacy reconnects, exact
scope persistence, and real HTTP expiry tests.

**What happened?**

A generic MCP resource can advertise only its tool scopes. Its OAuth
server can separately advertise `offline_access`. Paperclip selected the
resource scopes and omitted the offline-access request. A provider could
then issue an access token without a refresh token. Tool access stopped
after the access token expired.

**Expected behavior**

Paperclip adds advertised offline access to the selected tool scopes
when the OAuth server does not exclude refresh tokens. It requests
consent and stores the scopes sent in the authorization request.
Existing connections can discover this capability when the user
reconnects. Providers without this capability keep their existing scope
behavior.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Run `node scripts/mcp-fixtures/servers/oauth-refresh-fixture.mjs`
from the repository root.
2. Add its MCP URL as a generic connection on a local Paperclip
instance.
3. Approve the test consent page and call `read_status`.
4. Let the two-minute access token expire and call the tool again.
5. Before this fix, the connection needs another sign-in. With this fix,
the call refreshes the token and succeeds.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The integration regression reproduced the missing-refresh-token failure
on the parent of this PR's fix. The same test passes with the fix.

**Deployment mode**

Local development. Automated tests use a loopback HTTP MCP/OAuth server
and a disposable PostgreSQL database.

## What Changed

- Track offline-access capability separately from MCP tool scopes.
- Add supported offline access and consent for generic connections.
- Preserve the actual requested scopes through callback completion and
reconnect.
- Discover the capability for older connections with cached OAuth
endpoints.
- Add a reusable MCP/OAuth fixture with PKCE, token expiry, resource
binding, and refresh-token rotation.
- Test shared and personal gateway calls through two refresh rotations.
Cover scope selection, unsupported refresh, and legacy reconnects.
- Document the behavior and local test commands.

## Verification

- The two real HTTP expiry tests failed before the fix with
`oauth_refresh_missing` after the first token expired.
- Tests passed on the current head: 76 generic MCP regressions, all 365
tool-access service tests, and 4 fixture controls.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed. Server
TypeScript checks also passed after the review fixes.
- All remote checks passed on
`d22909bb34e9d54478c0002077c498ffe105932d`. Greptile gave 5/5 with both
previous findings resolved. The complete local `pnpm test:run` is still
running.
- Run `node --test
scripts/mcp-fixtures/servers/oauth-refresh-fixture.test.mjs` for the
standalone provider controls.
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts` for the Paperclip
integration tests.

## Risks

- Users can see a consent prompt when a generic provider supports
offline access.
- The provider can still decline to issue a refresh token. Access works
until expiry, then the user must reconnect.
- A provider that advertises offline access but rejects the scope
produces an OAuth error. This PR does not add an automatic retry without
that scope.
- Existing grants without refresh tokens need another sign-in. The fix
does not change them in place.
- Curated Apps keep their reviewed scope and authorization-parameter
allowlists. No database migration is required.
- This simulation verifies the suspected failure. The reported internal
MCP server has not been tested.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 8781f06a87 feat(connections): enable MCP aggregators by default (#13964)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents for work.
> - Connections let those agents use external services with explicit
access rules.
> - Zapier, Arcade, Composio Connect, and Executor already have setup
and runtime support.
> - Their experimental switch still blocks discovery and setup by
default.
> - This pull request removes those gates and the Settings toggle.
> - Users can connect these providers without enabling an experiment.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13755. Refs #13941.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Apps browsing, inline setup, and agent connection search for the four
MCP aggregators.

**Current behavior**
An instance must enable the MCP aggregators experiment before users or
agents can start setup.

**Proposed behavior**
All four providers are available by default on local and managed
instances. Old stored and managed values still parse but cannot disable
them.

## What Changed

- Remove the aggregator gates from Apps, inline setup, server setup, and
agent search.
- Remove the Settings toggle and its UI hook.
- Retain the old setting key only for upgrade compatibility. Normalize
it to true and ignore managed overrides, as Apps already does.
- Replace opt-in fixtures with default-on coverage. Test old false
values, all four setup flows, provider choice, and the removed toggle.
- Update current connector guidance and remove the opt-in from the
runner acceptance fixture.

## Verification

- 306 focused tests passed across eight files: shared remote MCP
contracts; server remote MCP lifecycle, aggregator fallback, settings
normalization, and managed overlay; UI Apps browsing, setup, and
experimental settings.
- Server and UI TypeScript checks passed.
- UI token gates and `git diff --check` passed.
- The full local suite was not run, per the maintainer's instruction.
All 54 CI checks passed; two checks were skipped. One unrelated
workspace-preview readiness timeout passed on one failed-shard retry.
- The setup fixtures use simulated MCP responses. This change does not
claim new live provider acceptance.

## Risks

- Existing instances now show all four providers, even if the old flag
was false. This is intentional.
- External provider choice, credentials, company isolation, agent
grants, and tool policies still apply. Showing a connector does not
authorize an external account.
- No data migration is required. The compatibility key keeps old managed
configuration documents valid.
- Historical Zapier live acceptance remains incomplete in the existing
evidence report. The maintainer explicitly requested the default-on
rollout for all four existing providers; the report records that scoped
exception.

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 24429024e7 feat: add Fireflies connector and summary-ready routines (#13890)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Apps gives agents governed access to external tools through stored
credentials.
> - Routines start work when an external service sends an event.
> - Fireflies provides meeting transcripts and summaries through an
official hosted MCP server.
> - This PR adds that connection and accepts signed meeting events
through the shared app webhook flow.
> - Agents can review completed meetings with the same permissions and
audit records as other work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Problem or motivation**

Operators need agents to read Fireflies meetings and start follow-up
work when a summary is ready. The Apps catalog lacks Fireflies. The
shared app webhook flow needs to accept its signed deliveries.

**Proposed solution**

Use the official Fireflies MCP endpoint with OAuth or a vaulted bearer
API key. Extend the existing Another app or script flow with signed
webhook support. Verify the raw-body signature and pass the JSON payload
as external data. Select Meeting Summarized in Fireflies. Deduplicate
identical signed deliveries, including setup deliveries.

**Alternatives considered**

A separate REST connector would duplicate the governed MCP path.
Polling, legacy V1 payloads, and automatic provider-side webhook
registration are outside this change.

**Roadmap alignment**

This extends the existing MCP Tool Gateway & Apps and Scheduled Routines
surfaces. It adds a provider to those systems. It does not introduce a
second integration framework.

**Additional context**

A GitHub search found no existing Fireflies issues or PRs. Provider
references and verification limits are in
`doc/connections/FIREFLIES.md`.

## What Changed

- Add the official Fireflies catalog definition, generated registry,
provider evidence, and branded artwork.
- Reuse Access → Connect, dynamic discovery, Permissions, vault storage,
policy, and audit behavior.
- Classify Fireflies sharing, movement, and access revocation as writes.
- Preserve Off and Ask first restrictions during OAuth reauthorization
and API-key replacement. New actions retain normal defaults.
- Add `app_webhook` authentication to the shared Another app or script
flow. Accept bearer tokens or raw-body HMAC-SHA256. Preserve earlier
`fireflies_hmac` triggers and revision snapshots for compatibility.
Existing text columns need no migration.
- Verify `X-Hub-Signature` or `X-Hub-Signature-256` against the exact
request body. Preserve generic event payloads and deduplicate identical
signed requests.
- Keep the routine wizard generic. Show one webhook URL and secret in
Another app or script. Keep all new app webhook event names
provider-neutral. Keep provider setup instructions in the connector
documentation.
- Pass generic webhook JSON to the task in an explicit external-data
block, capped at 16,384 characters. Keep strict meeting validation for
existing legacy Fireflies triggers.

## Verification

- Feature implementation commit `0882dc8a1`: all 54 CI checks passed;
two conditional Storybook checks skipped. This includes full tests,
typecheck, build, browser E2E, canary dry run, and security checks.
Greptile rated this commit 5/5; all review threads are resolved.
- Full local `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and token gates passed
on the final code. Targeted connector, gateway, webhook, revision, and
UI suites passed during implementation. After the provider-neutral
follow-up, all 84 app-webhook and routine-service tests passed; the
final payload-to-task assertion also passed in the 72-test routine suite
and a clean-config rerun.
- The long local `pnpm test:run` invocation started before the final
edits and was stopped after the final-commit CI suites passed. It
reported one generic webhook test failure while those files were
changing; that test and the entire routine suite passed on the final
source, including a clean-config reproduction. The interrupted local run
is not counted as a full-suite pass.
- In the embedded browser, completed official OAuth consent and
discovered 20 live actions. Real meeting listing, transcript retrieval,
and summary/action-item retrieval succeeded as the selected agent.
Turning a live read Off blocked its test; catalog refresh preserved the
restriction.
- Embedded-browser Another app or script setup, back/save/resume, narrow
layout, and a signed synthetic Fireflies delivery succeeded. The UI
reported authentication passed without creating a task. Fixtures cover
signature tampering, malformed requests, ordinary app event names,
duplicate/setup deliveries, rotation, revisions, pause/archive, and
company isolation.
- Existing MCP browser suite: 8 passed and 2 provider-dependent cases
skipped. Branding checks passed; connector artwork and webhook setup
were checked at desktop/mobile widths and in light/dark modes.
- An unauthenticated POST to a correctly formatted public webhook URL
reached the staging tenant verifier through the existing Cloud gateway.
- A real Fireflies webhook delivery remains unverified. A staging
callback is available for the operator walkthrough. Live API-key
authorization, credential expiry, and a new meeting's summary completion
were not tested against the provider. Fixtures cover these protocol and
lifecycle paths where applicable.

- Storybook follow-up `c54174faa`: 27 production-component stories cover
every UI change, with a source-to-story map in the connector
documentation. Static Storybook build, UI typecheck, token gates, and
Playwright checks for all stories and the mobile footer pass. All PR
checks passed for this Storybook follow-up; Greptile reviewed
`c54174faa` at 5/5.

## Risks

- Fireflies may change its hosted MCP tools or OAuth behavior. Tool
discovery stays dynamic. Experimental search/fetch tools are not
required.
- Public webhook setup requires HTTPS and a separate signing secret.
Fireflies normally emits events for meetings owned by the configuring
account.
- Reauthorization touches shared MCP permission code. Regression tests
cover existing restrictions, new actions, connection removal, and other
gateway callers.
- Webhook receipt grants no tool access. The routine agent still needs
an authorized Fireflies connection.

- New generic triggers rely on provider event subscriptions. Without a
sender-supplied idempotency key, changed request bytes count as a new
event. Existing legacy Fireflies triggers retain summary-only filtering
and per-meeting deduplication.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, model `gpt-6-astra`. Used reasoning, repository editing,
code execution, and embedded-browser testing. The runtime did not expose
a context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip b82661b561 refactor(connections): retire the legacy Composio broker (#13758)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their access to external tools.
> - Connectors expose these tools through a governed MCP gateway.
> - PR #13755 added a direct Composio MCP connection behind the
experimental MCP aggregators flag.
> - The old project API-key broker still created toolkit child
connections and showed a separate Services tab.
> - Keeping both paths leaves obsolete setup and session code in the
product.
> - This change removes the broker and preserves direct MCP setup,
credentials, permissions, and execution.
> - Saved legacy records fail closed and remain available for explicit
removal.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Related: #13755. This retirement supersedes the legacy-path fixes
proposed in #12630, #12632, #12634, and #12906. It does not close those
PRs.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Composio connector setup, management, and runtime dispatch.

**Current behavior**

Composio offers both direct MCP and a project API-key broker. The broker
mints sessions and creates one child connection per toolkit.

**Proposed behavior**

Offer only direct MCP. Remove the toolkit Services UI, REST routes, API
client, and session broker. Block saved legacy parent and child records
from discovery, execution, health checks, reconnect, and OAuth. Preserve
their records and credentials until the operator removes each
connection.

**Reason and benefit**

The direct MCP connector becomes the single supported Composio workflow.
Provider accounts remain managed in Composio.

## What Changed

- Remove the API-key catalog method and its generated-source definition.
- Delete Composio broker clients, session creation, account
synchronization, child lifecycle, and toolkit routes.
- Remove the Services tab, service rows, child provenance, and
cascade-removal controls. Keep Vercel provenance intact.
- Retain a shared retirement guard for stored legacy records. Show
Retired status and replacement/removal guidance in the connection list
and details; hide obsolete runtime controls.
- Preserve the experimental MCP aggregators flag and direct MCP
infrastructure.
- Replace broker fixtures with retirement tests and extend direct
Composio catalog/reconnect coverage.

## Verification

- Focused shared, server, and UI tests passed with one worker. Server
retirement tests use a name filter; no full local test suite was run, as
requested.
- Server and UI TypeScript checks passed.
- Token gates and UI build passed.
- Real browser: opened the saved Composio connection, refreshed all 11
tools, and ran the provider's read-only GitHub account-list operation
through the standard Test dialog as an agent. The provider returned
success using the existing OAuth credentials.
- See `doc/connections/COMPOSIO-BROKER-RETIREMENT.md` for scope and live
evidence.
- Storybook build passed. A fresh real agent used
`COMPOSIO_SEARCH_TOOLS` and `COMPOSIO_MULTI_EXECUTE_TOOL` to return the
actual Paperclip DeepWiki hierarchy: one success, zero errors. Gateway
audit records confirm both calls succeeded.
- Browser retirement check: a credential-free legacy fixture showed the
guidance, opened the direct MCP replacement flow, and was removed
through the standard confirmation.
- Focused regressions for the experimental settings copy and exact
OpenAPI route coverage passed. All latest-head CI checks passed (54
successful, two intentionally skipped); Greptile scored 5/5 with no
unresolved review threads. The PR has no merge conflicts.

## Risks

This intentionally breaks the old Composio project API-key and
child-connection workflow. Existing legacy records cannot run, even if
their stored status is active. Operators must create a new direct MCP
connection and choose access rules; credentials and grants are not
migrated. Remove each old record separately to delete its credentials.
No schema migration or data deletion runs automatically. Direct MCP
connections keep their existing grants and secrets.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 via Codex, with reasoning, code execution, and browser
tools. The exact runtime variant and context-window size are not exposed
in this session.

DottaandPaperclip e8c8ba3c19 feat(apps): add experimental MCP aggregator connectors (#13755)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its tool gateway applies company access rules and approval controls
to connected apps.
> - MCP aggregators expose many apps through one provider endpoint.
> - Each aggregator needs its own credential, catalog, grants, and
lifecycle in Paperclip.
> - This pull request adds independent Zapier, Arcade, Composio Connect,
and Executor setup with a common Access → Connect layout.
> - A default-off MCP aggregators flag lets operators opt in while we
complete provider acceptance tests.
> - Agents use the normal Paperclip permissions, Test screen, and
gateway after setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Apps, connection setup, shared contracts, and the remote MCP gateway.

**Problem or motivation**

Aggregator endpoints need clear provider setup and correct MCP sessions.
Generic setup does not explain each provider's authentication or broad
execution tools. Provider approval must preserve the original execution
instead of replaying a write.

**Proposed solution**

Add four separate connectors behind Settings → Experimental → MCP
aggregators. Start with human and agent access, then connect the
endpoint and read its tools. Enable tools by default. Use the existing
Permissions and Test screens after setup. Keep legacy Composio API-key
and child connections intact.

**Alternatives considered**

A shared connection for all providers would mix credentials and access
rules. Separate provider-specific permission and test screens would
duplicate existing controls. Vercel Connect is outside this change.

**Roadmap alignment**

Extends the existing MCP Tool Gateway & Apps capability and the
Connected Apps roadmap area. This work was requested and reviewed by the
maintainer.

Related work: #11894, #12630, #12632, #12634, and #12906 concern the
legacy Composio broker. #13102 also covers remote MCP pagination. This
change preserves the broker path and adds initialized sessions, response
matching, and provider resume handling alongside pagination.

## What Changed

- Add branded setup and interactive Storybooks for Zapier, Arcade,
Composio Connect, and Executor. Use the existing access controls and
normal action tests. Do not request a connection name or action choices
during setup.
- Add the default-off `enableMcpAggregators` flag to settings, managed
feature metadata, the catalog, and setup guards. Hidden connections keep
running. Legacy Composio connections remain unchanged.
- Reuse the vault, grants, policy, and catalog models. Support OAuth
discovery, bearer tokens, custom headers, and credential-bearing URLs.
Add no database tables or migrations.
- Initialize and retain Streamable HTTP sessions by connection and
effective credentials. Read paginated catalogs and match streaming
responses to request IDs.
- Classify unfamiliar aggregator tools as writes despite upstream
read-only hints; only exact reviewed read capabilities enter the
read-only allowlist. Legacy Composio child behavior is preserved.
- Preserve provider authorization links and execution IDs. Support
Executor approve/resume, decline, and cancel without automatic replay of
uncertain writes.
- Preserve Off and Ask first choices during refresh and reconnect. Allow
new tools and retire removed tools. Keep agent access updates atomic and
preserve an empty agent selection.
- Document connector UX rules, provider branding sources, and live
acceptance results.
- Stabilize the existing Sentry release fixture after its repeated CI
failure by reusing one module mock; production Sentry behavior is
unchanged.

## Verification

- Final head `d11781970`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35633534900)
passed, including broad typecheck, test shards, build, and E2E. All 54
checks pass; 2 optional checks are skipped. Greptile is 5/5, Security
Scan passes, and all review threads are resolved.

- Passed 27 focused connector Vitest checks and 18 connector-only
Storybook browser checks before the flag change. All 85 stories rendered
at desktop and narrow widths.
- Passed 5 connector lifecycle/server checks and 7 selected flag checks
after adding the flag. The latter cover settings, managed defaults,
cached catalog visibility, and all four setup routes.
- Review fixes passed 13 risk/handoff/lifecycle checks, dedicated
session-expiration and transport regressions, 13 selected
connector/gateway CI cases, and 10 selected setup/reconnect UI cases. A
real Composio connection-list call also succeeded through the refreshed
UI on `9ab115f71`.
- UI and server TypeScript checks passed. UI build, Storybook build,
token gates, and diff whitespace checks passed during implementation.
- Real browser and real Paperclip agent tests passed for Arcade,
Composio, and Executor. Tested action permissions, denied agent access,
reconnect, disconnect, and isolation. Tested Arcade catalog
additions/removal and Executor provider approve/resume, decline, and
cancel.
- Zapier live acceptance is incomplete. Its dedicated provider server is
configured, but its credential-copy dialog returned an empty clipboard
through browser automation. No live Zapier action is claimed.
- The three isolated Sentry release cases pass after the CI fixture fix.
- Local verification is deliberately narrow at the maintainer's request.
The full local suite, recursive typecheck, and repository-wide build
were not run. CI provides the broader checks.

## Risks

- Shared MCP transport changes affect other remote MCP servers. Protocol
fixtures cover initialized sessions, streaming response matching,
pagination, and isolation.
- Broad execution tools remain broad permissions. The provider governs
actions inside those tools.
- Provider handoff links are retained briefly in memory. After a server
restart, a one-time link may require reopening the provider dashboard.
Paperclip does not replay the original call.
- Zapier remains unproven live. Custom-header imports and self-hosted
endpoints have fixture coverage rather than a separate live account for
every variant.
- Turning the experimental flag off hides setup; it does not revoke
existing credentials or stop existing connections.

## Model Used

OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and browser automation. The exact runtime model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. A separate
Anthropic-backed Paperclip agent performed live gateway acceptance
tasks.

DottaandPaperclip 9adeabb590 fix(connections): unblock personal MCP auth discovery (#13497)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connections let people give agents access to external tools.
> - A personal connection needs the current user's authorization.
> - A new MCP URL must be probed before Paperclip can discover its
sign-in method.
> - Requiring a personal grant before that probe prevents sign-in from
starting.
> - This pull request permits the initial probe for a creator-owned
draft with no credentials.
> - People can complete personal setup while later requests retain
authorization checks.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Connecting an unknown MCP URL with "Just me" failed with HTTP 502 and
"This connection needs the current user's authorization". Paperclip
checked for a personal grant before contacting the provider. The health
wrapper also changed the expected authorization error into a server
error.

**Expected behavior**

Discover OAuth and start browser sign-in. Create a personal grant after
consent. For a public endpoint, discover its tools and create the empty
personal grant after a successful probe. Keep missing authorization on
later health checks as HTTP 422.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Add an unknown remote MCP URL with no saved credentials.
2. Select "Just me".
3. Check the link. Before this fix, the request fails before sign-in or
tool discovery.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The three original regressions fail against `6cfe4acff` with the service
fix removed and pass with it restored.

**Deployment mode**

The defect was reported in production and reproduced in local server
tests with isolated PostgreSQL.

Related work: Refs #11831. Refs #11144. Searches found no duplicate fix.

## What Changed

- Allow an initial credential-free probe only for the creating user's
personal draft with unknown authentication and no supplied credentials.
- Leave OAuth grant creation to the callback. Create an empty personal
grant only after a public probe succeeds.
- Preserve the personal grant for URLs that already contain a
credential.
- Make empty personal grant creation conflict-safe without overwriting a
concurrent grant or duplicating its creation audit.
- Commit the empty grant and audit atomically. Retain the established
public draft identity after a later catalog failure, so a failed retry
cannot remove a successful retry's grant.
- Run the following catalog/default-profile step in its own transaction,
so failures discard partial catalog, profile, binding, and audit changes
without deleting the established identity.
- Verify archived personal connections retain their owner: another user
is rejected before probing, while the original owner can resume setup.
- Preserve `user_authorization_required` and HTTP 422 in health
failures.
- Cover the connect and OAuth callback routes, real loopback HTTP,
credential-bearing URLs, and later health checks.
- Document personal setup and the test fixtures.

## Verification

- Red/green: the original three tests failed with the exact reported
error before the fix and passed after it.
- The credential-bearing personal URL regression also failed before its
guard was added.
- Focused suite: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` passed all 385 tests across
the two suites. An earlier run had a socket hang-up in an existing
agent-permissions test; the unchanged suite passed on rerun.
- The concurrent rollback regression failed before its fix because the
successful retry's grant was deleted. It now verifies the grant and
draft survive and a later normal health check succeeds.
- Database fault injection during profile-entry insertion reproduced
partial catalog writes before the transaction fix. The regression now
verifies unchanged catalog rows, no partial profile/bindings, a retained
grant, and successful retry.
- CI's first serialized-server shard 3 attempt failed an existing
peer-agent mutation test (the real run-context guard ran despite the
test's mock). The test passed in isolation and all 108 tests in that
suite passed unchanged locally. The single failed-shard rerun passed
without code changes.
- Final-commit CI: all 32 applicable checks passed on
`639f037987352cab6084c4ebfa5dbf7b0aed6046`, including all 385 affected
tests, the full test matrix, browser suite, build, typecheck, release
checks, and security checks. The two Storybook-only checks were not
applicable and skipped. Greptile is 5/5 with all review threads
resolved. [Successful CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/35027478353).
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- `pnpm smoke:mcp-fixtures -- --require-paperclip` passed.
- `pnpm build` passed.
- Full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted: its general-server group
finished with 12,372 passed, 4 failed, and 70 skipped tests. The run
started before review edits; its two MCP failures used the old cached
service (including an insert without the new conflict clause). All 385
focused tests pass on the final code. The other failures were existing
workspace-cleanup and runtime-port tests; their unchanged suites passed
on rerun (66 passed, and 25 passed/3 skipped). The local command stopped
before later groups. The final-commit CI matrix is the full-suite merge
gate; this local run is not claimed as green.

## Risks

- The initial probe must not become a general authorization bypass. It
is restricted to the creating user's draft. Normal health checks retain
authorization enforcement.
- Public endpoints get a personal grant with no secrets only after they
answer successfully. Credential-bearing URLs keep their existing grant.
- The concurrent-probe regression seeds the catalog and default profile
to isolate grant creation. Existing first-time catalog/profile creation
races are outside this change; this does not claim to make the entire
setup flow concurrency-safe.
- No database migration or UI change is required. OAuth tests use a
simulated provider; the public endpoint test uses real loopback HTTP.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6-based assistant for regression tests and PR
preparation; a GPT-5-based Codex assistant assisted with the initial
implementation. Exact runtime model IDs and context-window sizes are not
exposed in this session. Both used reasoning, repository tools, and code
execution.

DottaandPaperclip f449b05bc5 feat(apps): unify permissions and action testing (#12802)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane for companies that use AI agents.
> - Apps give humans and agents controlled access to external services.
> - The existing app detail flow split permissions, tests, setup, and
activity across separate pages.
> - The split made access rules harder to understand and made reconnect
work hard to find.
> - New write actions also defaulted to Ask first, which did not match
the intended connection policy.
> - This pull request combines permission control and action testing,
removes the setup page, and moves connection activity into Audit.
> - The benefit is one clear place to configure, test, reconnect, and
review each app.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The installed app Permissions, Test, Setup, and Activity views.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This change updates the React UI, shared app defaults,
server permission behavior, tests, smoke scripts, and connection
documentation.

**Current behavior**

App access and action testing use separate pages. The app detail view
also links to a setup page after installation. Connection activity uses
a separate tab. New write actions default to Ask first.

**Proposed behavior**

Permissions uses the connection access language from the initial flow.
It includes searchable Read and Write sections, a three-state permission
control, and a Test dialog for each action. Reconnect appears below a
Needs attention header on Permissions and Review. Old Setup and Test
links redirect to Permissions. Old Activity links redirect to the
filtered company Audit feed. New write actions default to Allowed.

**Reason and benefit**

A person can understand and test app access without moving between
several pages. Reconnect work stays visible where the person reviews the
connection. Audit events use one consistent feed and filter model. New
connections have the intended default policy.

**Breaking changes**

The Setup, Test, and app Activity tabs are removed. Existing deep links
redirect to their replacement pages. Existing saved action permissions
do not change. Only defaults for new write actions change.

**Additional context**

This builds on the managed app connection work in #12728. A search found
no duplicate open pull request or issue.

## What Changed

- Combined action testing with Permissions.
- Added searchable Read and Write action groups.
- Added Off, Ask first, and Allowed controls with tooltips.
- Added an action Test dialog with agent selection, arguments, and
formatted results.
- Removed the installed-app Setup and Activity tabs.
- Added reconnect guidance to Permissions and Review when a connection
needs attention.
- Routed connection activity into the company Audit feed and preserved
the Apps & tools filter in streamlined Audit.
- Moved connection removal to the Connectors-page management menu.
- Made new write actions default to Allowed across connection creation
paths.
- Updated regression tests, browser suites, smoke scripts, and
connection documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/shared/src/app-definitions.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/app-detail/TestPanel.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/audit/AuditHub.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/audit/AuditFeed.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/apps/AppDetail.test.tsx ui/src/pages/apps/Browse.test.tsx`
(96 tests passed)
- Targeted Playwright verification for connection removal, rename on
Permissions, inline action testing, and Smoke Lab Audit evidence (5
flows passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm test:run` completed with 5,755 passing tests and 20 unrelated
macOS harness failures. The failures use `/tmp` versus `/private/tmp`,
invalid ports above 65535, and workspace fixtures outside this change.

## Risks

- Low migration risk. This change has no database migration.
- Old app-detail URLs depend on redirect compatibility.
- New connections grant write actions by default. Finalization remains
configure-authorized and audited, Ask first and Off remain available per
action, and existing connections keep their saved policy.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected - check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, exact model ID `gpt-5`. The client does not expose the
context-window size. The model used reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser verification.

DottaandPaperclip 8c3b8c432a Simplify app connections and enable managed Google access (#12728)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Apps subsystem gives humans and agents governed access to
external tools.
> - The current connection flow hides Apps behind an experimental gate
and repeats setup text.
> - Google sharing choices and generic MCP permissions do not use one
consistent opening model.
> - Self-hosted installs also need a safe default origin for managed
OAuth without a manual config file.
> - This pull request makes Apps available, simplifies connection setup,
and applies one governed permissions model.
> - The benefit is a shorter connection flow that works on a clean
self-hosted install.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

This improves the Apps connection setup flow, managed Google connection
flow, generic MCP connection flow, navigation, and runtime origin
discovery.

**Subsystem affected**

Cross-cutting. This changes `ui/`, `server/`, `packages/shared/`,
connector documentation, and browser tests.

**Current behavior**

Apps require an experimental switch. Setup pages repeat titles and
explanatory copy. Connection names require manual input. Google
credential sharing does not always offer both personal and organization
access. Generic MCP providers do not start with the same permission
choices. Managed OAuth needs a public URL setting even when the request
already has a safe HTTPS origin.

**Proposed behavior**

Apps are available by default. Setup asks only for required permissions
and sharing choices. Paperclip creates conflict-free connection names.
Google apps and generic MCP providers use the same human and agent
access model. Managed OAuth derives a validated same-origin HTTPS URL
when no explicit public URL is set.

**Reason and benefit**

A clean self-hosted install can connect a managed Google app without
hidden setup. Humans can share a service account with their
organization. The shorter flow reduces duplicated choices and setup
errors.

**Breaking changes**

The Apps experimental switch is removed. Existing connection APIs remain
compatible. New connections can receive a numeric suffix when a name
already exists.

No duplicate or related public issue was found.

## What Changed

- Removed the Apps experimental gate and the breadcrumb that leaves the
Apps section.
- Simplified all connection setup pages and moved optional provider
requirements into one small link.
- Added consistent human and agent access choices for Google apps,
Zapier, and generic MCP connections.
- Added organization sharing to Google Workspace credentials while
keeping personal access available.
- Generated connection names automatically and resolved name conflicts
with numeric suffixes.
- Derived a validated public HTTPS origin from the request for
config-free managed OAuth.
- Updated connector contracts, tests, browser coverage, and authoring
documentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/generic-mcp-connection.test.ts` (273 passed)
- Targeted UI/service regression suite (308 passed)
- Six targeted Playwright connection journeys on a fresh onboarding
instance (6 passed)
- Fresh-install browser proof through Tailscale HTTPS: enrolled with
Paperclip Cloud, connected managed Google Drive, and completed a real
read operation.
- [Exact-head CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33669760711):
all 23 matrix jobs passed, including build, typecheck, server,
serialized, canary, and all browser shards.
- Greptile 5/5 on `0ae2a859f269984ee950d0af231a5b09a06f3dfd`, with no
unresolved review threads.

## Risks

Apps are now visible to all operators. The removed experimental flag no
longer hides unfinished app definitions. Managed Google availability
still depends on the Cloud profile rollout and active instance
enrollment. Automatic conflict handling changes only the display name of
a newly conflicting connection.

> I checked [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md). MCP Tool Gateway and Apps are
shipped. Connected Apps is planned, and this change improves the
existing shipped connection flow.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with reasoning, browser control, tool use, and code
execution.

Dotta d387cc0ff0 feat(connections): add managed external MCP connectors (#12346)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connection intents need secure provider implementations to complete
setup.
> - Some providers use managed OAuth or external credential brokers.
> - Those tokens must stay out of durable Paperclip state and fail
closed when refresh fails.
> - This pull request adds managed connector backends and the required
storage contract.
> - The benefit is safer provider setup with governed credential
lifecycles.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11965

This is stack 8 of 11. It depends on stack 7 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.

## What Changed

- Add managed Google Workspace and external connector backends.
- Add Vercel Connect support without storing provider bearer tokens.
- Add replay-safe migration 0232 and its generated snapshot.
- Fail closed and clear stale token bindings when organization OAuth
refresh needs reauthorization.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 194 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/services/remote-url-credentials.test.ts` (5 passed, including
URL userinfo vault extraction)

## Risks

- Broker metadata errors can block provider setup.
- OAuth refresh failure disables the shared organization connection
until reauthorization.
- Migration 0232 is generated, ordered after 0231, and safe to replay.

DottaandPaperclip b3343dbd64 feat(connections): add self-serve intent runtime (#12345)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents need a governed way to request app connections during issue
work.
> - The catalog now describes the available providers and setup methods.
> - A request must become a durable, company-scoped intent before an
operator acts on it.
> - This pull request adds that intent runtime across server, agent,
CLI, and shared contracts.
> - The benefit is a safe bridge from agent need to operator-approved
setup.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11965

This is stack 7 of 11. It depends on stack 6 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.

## What Changed

- Add connection intent types, validation, service logic, and routes.
- Add agent runtime tools and CLI support for connection requests.
- Add issue-thread interaction support for connection intents.
- Add runtime, route, adapter, and contract tests.
- Hold the final resolved-continuation row lock through asynchronous
adapter preparation until an actual process spawn, so parking or
reassignment cannot cross that boundary.
- Report Hermes Gateway's first remote run request through the shared
dispatch hook so the resolved-intent lock is released at the true
dispatch boundary.
- Revalidate the addressed user's live non-viewer membership and
connection-management authority for every intent mutation, including
OAuth completion.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 176 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-stale-queue-invalidation.test.ts` (32 passed;
includes non-process dispatch lock-release coverage)
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/connection-intents-service.test.ts -t
"addressed-user mutation"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts -t "binds OAuth
callback completion to the initiating board session"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter test --
src/gateway/server/execute.test.ts` (23 passed; includes dispatch-hook
ordering and exactly-once coverage)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/hermes-paperclip-adapter typecheck`

## Risks

- A malformed intent could create an unusable operator request.
- Validators and company checks reject invalid or cross-company
requests.
- The final continuation gate holds the issue row lock through adapter
preparation until process or remote dispatch; later operator changes use
the normal active-run interruption path.
- The change does not add a database migration.

DottaandPaperclip 6244e4cf32 feat(apps): add Composio and Gmail connectors (#12342)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - App connections need both direct providers and managed provider
hubs.
> - The grant layer now defines safe credential ownership.
> - Composio needs parent and child connection lifecycle rules, and
Gmail needs governed setup.
> - This pull request adds both connector families on the grant
foundation.
> - The benefit is broader app access without weakening credential
isolation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11965

This is stack 4 of 11. It depends on stack 3 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.

## What Changed

- Add Composio parent and child connection support.
- Add Gmail connection setup and governance.
- Preserve credential paths and remove duplicate binding declarations.
- Cascade Composio pause and restore actions to child connections.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- Result: 164 tests passed.
- `pnpm build`

## Risks

- Parent lifecycle changes can affect every Composio child.
- The service restores only children whose provider accounts remain
active.
- Credential binding paths are normalized before secret resolution.

DottaandPaperclip 20ccf3f476 feat(apps): add connection grants and delegated identities (#12341)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - External tools need explicit identity and access boundaries.
> - Shared connection credentials cannot represent every user-scoped use
case.
> - Grants must stay company-scoped and support safe delegation.
> - This pull request adds connection grants, identity rules, and their
database contract.
> - The benefit is durable control over which identity an agent may use.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11965

This is stack 3 of 11. It depends on stack 2 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.

## What Changed

- Add company and user connection grants.
- Add delegated identity and membership rules.
- Synchronize database, shared, server, and UI contracts.
- Register the grant-member replacement route in the OpenAPI surface in
the same layer that mounts it.
- Add migration 0231 with replay-safe guards and coverage.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts` (5 passed)
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`

## Risks

- Incorrect grant selection could expose the wrong credential scope.
- The service enforces company and subject boundaries before credential
use.
- Migration 0231 is generated, ordered after 0230, and safe to replay.

DottaandPaperclip b51112798f feat(apps): improve gateway and workspace connection UX (#12340)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - App connections must work in both the operator UI and agent tool
gateway.
> - The first stack layer adds secure remote connections.
> - Operators still need clear setup, test, and recovery states.
> - This pull request adds the gateway behavior and the workspace
connection experience.
> - The benefit is a connection flow that is easier to understand and
recover.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11965

This is stack 2 of 11. It depends on stack 1 and replaces another
reviewable part of #11965.

## What Changed

- Improve remote tool gateway connection behavior.
- Add clearer app setup, test, and recovery states.
- Add focused server and UI tests for the new paths.
- Keep the diff isolated from later identity and catalog work.
- Stabilize DNS-pinned remote HTTP protocol fixtures and the
managed-runtime public-origin fixture for this independently tested
layer.

## Verification

- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts` (150 passed)
- `pnpm test:run`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `pnpm build`

## Risks

- Gateway errors now surface through new user-facing states.
- A stale connection can require a new setup attempt.
- The change does not add a database migration.
- The injected HTTP transport and public URL are test-only fixtures;
production DNS pinning and runtime behavior are unchanged.

DottaandPaperclip cabc9146d0 feat(apps): add secure remote MCP and PostHog setup (#12339)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Apps give those agents governed access to external tools.
> - Remote MCP setup needs secure endpoint validation and durable
credentials.
> - PostHog needs both browser sign-in and personal API key setup paths.
> - This pull request adds the shared remote MCP foundation and the
PostHog definition.
> - The benefit is a secure and reusable base for later app connection
work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #11965

This is stack 1 of 11. It replaces the first reviewable part of #11965.

## What Changed

- Add guarded remote MCP setup and credential handling.
- Add PostHog OAuth and API key connection methods.
- Add focused server, shared contract, and UI coverage.
- Keep the migration replay-safe and idempotent.
- Give the late-close security regression the same 10-second CI headroom
as the adjacent real-timer handshake test.
- Synchronize fake-timer handshake tests at the exact ensure-session
boundary so real filesystem setup cannot race the fake deadline.
- Drive PTY overflow coverage only after listener registration so
scheduling cannot reorder the test fixture.

## Verification

- pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-worker-manager.test.ts (220 passed; affected
cases also passed five focused stress repetitions)
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "never leaks a
sandbox-provided value from a late close rejection into logs or the
result"` (1 passed)
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "never
promotes a late ensureSession resolution|closes a late-resolving real
handle exactly once"` (2 passed)
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/tool-access-service.test.ts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm build`

## Risks

- Remote endpoint validation can reject configurations that previously
passed without checks.
- OAuth configuration errors can block setup until the operator corrects
the provider settings.
- The migration uses guarded statements so repeated execution is safe.
- The test-only synchronization changes do not affect runtime behavior;
they remove filesystem/fake-clock and listener-registration races
observed under parallel CI load.
