DottaandPaperclip 2f0c485dec fix(skills): ship the completion helper with the installed skill (#15554)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - Legacy agents use the Paperclip skill to save task status and
comments.
> - The skill names a script relative to the task workspace.
> - That script exists only in the Paperclip source repository.
> - Agents in other workspaces can hit a missing command or search for
it.
> - This PR ships the helper inside the skill and uses the installed
skill path.
> - The repository command remains available through a forwarding
wrapper.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes #9527. Refs #15548 for the preceding runtime checkout guidance.
Related: #6052 addresses LF line endings for the repository helper; this
change addresses helper delivery and path resolution.

## What Changed

- Bundle the existing issue update helper with the Paperclip skill.
Preserve its HTTP checks, echoed-status check and two-attempt limit.
- Resolve the command from the installed skill directory. Use a verified
PATCH when that path is unavailable, without searching the filesystem.
- Keep the repository command as a wrapper that works from any
directory.
- Test shell execution and exact status/comment payloads through both
provider skill-home layouts, including paths with spaces.
- Add helper sources and existing verification tests to stock-harness
admission. Record an absent historical helper explicitly. Add the
missing declaration for the admission fingerprint export.

## Verification

- Complete directly affected source suites: 30 tests pass. They cover
skill delivery, preserved multiline comments and links, authentication
headers, empty responses, mismatched status, transient retries and
definitive rejections.
- Product E2E typecheck passes. Support suites: 1,835 Vitest tests pass,
one is skipped; 128 Node tests pass.
- Full local build and workspace typecheck pass.
- Full local repository tests are not claimed as passed. Embedded
PostgreSQL was unavailable in this worktree during the preceding task;
Linux CI will run the repository gates.
- The authorized matched Codex/Claude comparison is pending. It uses the
existing assigned-skill case and original oracle, one initial attempt
per profile and variant.
- CI and a fresh Greptile review are pending. Keep this PR in draft
until readiness gates complete.

## Risks

- Correct path resolution depends on the harness supplying the installed
skill path. The instructions use verified PATCH when that path is
unavailable.
- The helper still requires Bash, curl and jq. Its existing retry and
response-verification behavior is unchanged.
- Tests use the shared skill-directory symlink mechanism and an HTTP
fixture. Real provider completion behavior still requires the bounded
live comparison.
- This fix does not redesign native completion, legacy recovery or
ambiguous transport handling.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model build and context window are
not exposed in this session. Used code editing, shell tools and test
execution.

DottaandPaperclip 71cd0a2621 fix(skills): honor the current run harness checkout (#15548)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work for AI agents.
> - The runtime claims eligible assigned tasks before it starts an
agent.
> - The wake tells the agent when the runtime already holds that claim.
> - The legacy skill still requires another checkout in every case.
> - This PR makes the skill honor the current task and run claim.
> - Manual checkout and server ownership checks remain in place for
other cases.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Where is the issue?**

`skills/paperclip/SKILL.md`, in the scoped wake procedure and Step 5.

**What's wrong?**

The wake can say that the harness already checked out the issue. The
skill still tells the agent that it must call checkout. These
instructions conflict.

**Suggested fix**

Skip the second checkout only when the runtime wake explicitly confirms
the claim for this issue and run. Retain manual checkout when that
statement is absent or the agent selects another task. Refs #14948 for
the existing shared prompt reduction.

## What Changed

- Honor the explicit runtime claim in the scoped wake procedure and Step
5.
- Keep context reads, status writes, deliverable handling and conflict
rules.
- Add checks for normal and resumed wake text and excluded automatic
claims.
- Retain successful checkout HTTP activity for legacy stock-task evals.
Bind each receipt to the exact company, task, agent and run. Keep this
observation separate from the original task grades.

## Verification

- Checkout observation calibration: nine tests pass.
- Focused skill, wake and database ownership tests: in progress.
- Full repository build, typecheck and tests: in progress.
- Planned live comparison: the existing assigned-skill document case on
legacy Codex and Claude. One attempt per variant and profile. No
automatic retries. The baseline and candidate share the observation code
and task oracle.
- Live results are pending. This draft does not claim behavioral
qualification.

## Risks

- Agents may misread prompt guidance. The API still enforces ownership;
the text grants no new authority.
- The exception is specific to the current issue and run. It does not
remove ordinary legacy completion writes or authorize another task.
- Activity measures successful checkout HTTP calls. Failed attempts
require separate run-log inspection. Missing or mismatched observations
cannot count as zero calls.
- One trial per profile cannot establish general reliability, speed or
cost trends.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact model build and context window are
not exposed in this session. Used code editing, shell tools and test
execution.

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

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

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

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

**What happened?**

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

**Expected behavior**

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

**Steps to reproduce**

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

**Paperclip version or commit**

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

**Deployment mode**

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

## What Changed

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

### Screenshot

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

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

## Verification

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

Live command (requires a configured Daytona credential):

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

## Risks

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

## Model Used

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

DottaandPaperclip 889947c238 feat: add experimental native chat connectors (#13038)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.

## What Changed

- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.

## Verification

Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.

- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.

- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.

- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.

- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.

- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.

- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.

- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.

Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.

## Risks

- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).

Devin Foley 633e102971 fix: verify issue-update writes instead of inferring success (#12051)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents report task state to the control plane with `PATCH
/api/issues/{id}` at the end of each heartbeat
> - On remote sandbox targets those writes cross a relay that can fail
at the connection level
> - An agent that pipes its status curl through `head` cannot see that
failure; the write is lost but the run reports success
> - The issue then stays `in_progress` with no disposition, and the
missing-disposition recovery must repair it
> - This pull request makes the issue-update helper verify every write,
and it teaches the shared skill to require verified writes
> - The benefit is that a lost status write becomes a visible, retried
failure instead of a silent success

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public issue exists for this defect. The description below follows
the bug report template.

**What happened?**

A sandboxed heartbeat run answered its issue in a comment. It then sent
`PATCH /api/issues/{id}` with `status: done` through `curl -sf ... |
head -c 400`. The relay dropped the connection. The `-f` flag suppressed
the error output, and the pipe replaced curl's exit code with the exit
code of `head`. The agent saw empty output and exit 0. It reported the
write as an "empty 2xx" success and exited. The issue stayed
`in_progress`, and the successful-run recovery had to close it in a
corrective run.

**Expected behavior**

A status write that does not reach the server must surface as a failure.
The helper script must retry transient failures. It must exit non-zero
when the write is unconfirmed. Skill guidance must forbid write patterns
that hide failures.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Point `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` at an endpoint that drops connections
intermittently.
2. Finalize an issue with `curl -sf -X PATCH
"$PAPERCLIP_API_URL/api/issues/$ID" -d '{"status":"done"}' | head -c
400`.
3. Observe exit code 0 with empty output while the server never received
the PATCH.

## What Changed

- `scripts/paperclip-issue-update.sh` now captures `%{http_code}`,
retries a retryable failure (connection-level, 429, 5xx) once — two
attempts total, which matches the shared bounded-write-retry rule —
rejects an empty 2xx body, and confirms the response echoes the
requested status before it exits 0.
- Failure output states plainly that the write was NOT saved, so the
calling agent reports it accurately.
- `skills/paperclip/SKILL.md` Step 8 adds a required "Verify writes —
never infer them" rule: a successful PATCH always returns the updated
issue JSON, disposition writes must never run through `head`/`tail`
pipelines, and an unconfirmed write must be reported as FAILED.
- `server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts` pins the new
skill rule; a new `paperclip-issue-update-helper.test.ts` exercises the
helper's behavior end-to-end.

## Verification

- `bash -n scripts/paperclip-issue-update.sh`
- `server/src/__tests__/paperclip-issue-update-helper.test.ts` runs the
helper end-to-end against a local HTTP server: confirmed-echo success
(exit 0), empty 2xx (exit 1), wrong echoed status (exit 1), 422 reject
(exit 1, exactly one request), 503 then success (two requests),
connection refused (two attempts, then exit 1 with a "NOT saved"
report).
- `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/paperclip-issue-update-helper.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/cli-invocation-safety.test.ts` — 50 passed.

## Risks

- Low risk. The success-path output is unchanged (the updated issue
JSON).
- The helper now exits non-zero on unconfirmed writes. Callers that
previously missed silent failures now see explicit errors. That is the
intended behavior change.
- The single retry re-sends the PATCH after a retryable failure. If the
first request committed and only its response was lost, an attached
comment can post twice. The duplicate is visible and benign; the prior
behavior lost the write silently.

## Model Used

- Claude Fable 5 (Anthropic), model id `claude-fable-5`, extended
thinking enabled, agentic tool use via Claude Code (CLI harness), 200k
context window.

DottaandPaperclip 10d0555189 fix(interactions): authorize resolvers consistently (#11376)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Issue interactions give agents and people a structured decision
record.
> - Resolver routes used different authorization rules.
> - Some routes blocked valid agents, including task watchdogs with
normal issue access.
> - The API did not show who could resolve a pending interaction.
> - This pull request gives every interaction kind one resolver policy
evaluator.
> - The benefit is a clear decision path with consistent governance and
company isolation.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Fixes: #8087

Refs: #7403

Related PR: #11082 proposes board-only confirmation rules. This change
keeps human-only review as an explicit policy.

**What happened?**

Agents could create issue interactions. Some resolver routes still
required board access.

This left valid agent confirmations pending. Task watchdogs could see
the same problem without board identity.

**Expected behavior**

Every interaction kind must use one resolver policy contract.

The contract must support `anyone`, `not_creator`, and `human_only`. It
must also apply all normal governance controls.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create a `request_confirmation` interaction as an agent.
2. Resolve it with another authorized agent.
3. Observe the board-only denial.

**Paperclip version or commit**

The problem exists on `master` before this change.

**Deployment mode**

Local development with `pnpm dev`.

## What Changed

- Add canonical policies for `anyone`, `not_creator`, and `human_only`.
- Use one server evaluator for every interaction kind.
- Apply named addressees, company limits, review rules, and task
watchdog scope.
- Charge cross-issue resolutions to the existing per-run action limit.
- Return the effective resolver audience in attention and interaction
data.
- Show the audience, governance choices, and denial reasons in the board
UI.
- Add telemetry, API documents, product documents, and regression
fixtures.
- Add migration provenance for safe legacy behavior.
- Make migration `0218` safe for complete replays and partial prior
runs.

## Product Rules

- An interaction records a response. It does not grant authority for the
next action.
- `anyone` lets any authorized issue participant respond.
- `not_creator` requires a responder other than the interaction creator.
- `human_only` requires an authorized person.
- A named addressee, company policy, or governed action can narrow the
audience.
- These controls cannot widen the audience.
- A task watchdog uses the same rules as an ordinary agent.
- A task watchdog does not receive board authority.
- An agent resolution on another issue uses the shared cross-issue
action limit.
- Legacy pending interactions keep their earlier restrictions.
- The UI shows the effective audience and a permanent denial reason.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db check:migrations`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/db/src/issue-thread-interaction-resolver-policy-migration.test.ts`
- The focused PostgreSQL test applies migration `0218` twice.
- The test also completes a partial prior run and preserves existing
provenance.
- The latest GitHub head has 29 successful checks.
- The opt-in Storybook visual check skipped as expected.
- Greptile reports 5/5 with no open comments.

## Risks

- New interaction writes use `anyone` by default.
- Callers must select `not_creator` or `human_only` when they need
stricter review.
- Legacy pending interactions keep the old creator and human
restrictions.
- Migration `0218` fills only missing provenance fields during recovery.
- Cross-issue resolutions can reach the existing action limit.
- The shared evaluator affects every interaction kind.
- Route, service, database, shared contract, and UI tests cover these
rules.

> This work matches the Agent Reviews and Approvals direction in
`ROADMAP.md`. It does not duplicate a planned item.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime does not expose the exact deployment ID
or context window.

The agent used reasoning, repository tools, shell commands, and test
execution.

ded813ad6f feat(interactions): add governed agent addressees (#10252)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the control plane that lets humans govern companies of
AI agents.
> - Issue-thread interactions are the structured handoff point for
confirmations, questions, suggested tasks, and other governed decisions.
> - Those interactions previously assumed that only board users could
resolve them, preventing one agent from explicitly addressing another
agent for a response.
> - Agent resolution needs company-level governance, auditable resolver
identity, safe terminal-state handling, and attention routing so
authorization is enforced server-side rather than inferred from UI
behavior.
> - This pull request adds governed agent resolution, withdrawal and
terminal expiry semantics, explicit agent addressees, lifecycle
reconciliation, and attention-feed filtering.
> - The benefit is that agents can participate in structured decisions
without weakening board control, company isolation, wake behavior, or
audit invariants.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### Subsystem affected

Issue-thread interactions across database, shared contracts, server
authorization/services, adapter callbacks, agent skill guidance, API
docs, and UI governance surfaces.

### Problem or motivation

Structured interactions were board-only, had no explicit agent
addressee, and lacked durable withdrawal/terminal-expiry semantics. That
made peer-agent decisions impossible to authorize and audit safely.

### Proposed solution

Persist requested/effective resolver policy and addressee identity,
enforce company governance and eligible agent resolution, reconcile
addressee lifecycle changes, expose withdrawal and terminal expiry, and
route attention to the intended active agent with board fallback.

### Alternatives considered

Implicitly authorizing the issue assignee or mentioned agents was
rejected as ambiguous and difficult to audit. Using comments alone was
rejected because it loses structured outcomes and continuation behavior.

### Roadmap alignment

Supports the ROADMAP direction for lightweight leadership-agent
communication that still resolves into governed decisions and work
objects.

### Additional context

Public GitHub issue/PR search found no duplicate implementation; open PR
search for interaction resolver governance and agent addressees only
returned this PR.

## What Changed

- Add company-scoped interaction resolver governance contracts and
persistence.
- Add requested/effective resolver policy, resolver identity,
withdrawal, and terminal-expiry behavior.
- Add explicit `addresseeAgentId` validation, authorization,
persistence, lifecycle reconciliation, API documentation, and skill
guidance.
- Route pending addressed interactions to the intended invokable agent
and fall back to board attention when that agent becomes ineligible or
is deleted.
- Preserve sandbox callback identity fields required by governed
resolution paths.
- Add migrations `0193` and `0194` plus route, service, attention,
adapter, CLI, and UI coverage.
- Add governance state and company settings UI, including responsive
mobile behavior and distinct withdrawn/expired audit presentation.

## Verification

- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` — passed, including migration numbering and safety
checks.
- `pnpm test:run` — feature/server and UI workspace suites passed; one
unrelated CLI AWS doctor test observed injected static AWS credentials
and warned instead of passing.
- `env -u AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID -u AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY pnpm exec vitest
run cli/src/__tests__/secrets.test.ts --project paperclipai` — 8 tests
passed, confirming the failure was environment-sensitive.
- `pnpm build` — passed.
- Latest rebased head `e24cece6be9f1877bdbac7691bcb44fd583c0161`
completed all GitHub CI jobs successfully.

## Risks

- Migrations add interaction and company-governance fields; numbering is
conflict-free on current `master`, additive statements are idempotent,
and migration safety checks pass.
- Agent authorization behavior expands beyond board-only resolution, but
defaults remain board-only and coverage exercises company boundaries,
resolver eligibility, lifecycle invalidation, wake behavior, withdrawal,
expiry, and attention fallback.
- Attention routing depends on current agent invokability;
reconciliation and read-time filtering prevent stale addressees from
retaining visibility or resolution authority.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex using `gpt-5.6-sol` with reasoning, terminal tool use,

tools. Context-window metadata was not reported by the runtime.

DottaandPaperclip 627728bdde feat: add authoritative issue PATCH receipts (#10478)
<!-- Write all pull request text in Simplified Technical English
(ASD-STE100): short sentences, one instruction per sentence, simple
approved vocabulary, and the active voice. -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents update tasks through the issue API.
> - The update response did not state which values changed.
> - Blocker updates also did not echo the scalar blocker IDs.
> - Agents therefore used an extra GET request to confirm a successful
write.
> - This pull request adds an authoritative change receipt and an
optional small response.
> - The benefit is fewer API calls with a clear and compatible write
contract.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this change.

### Subsystem affected

Cross-cutting: `server/`, `packages/shared`, and the UI issue cache.

### Problem or motivation

A successful issue PATCH returned the updated issue, but it did not
identify the effective changes. Blocker writes returned relation
summaries without the scalar IDs. Agents could not distinguish a
confirmed clear operation from missing data. The response must confirm
committed field and blocker changes while existing UI clients continue
to receive the full issue by default.

### Proposed solution

Add a `changes` receipt. Add a conditional `blockedByIssueIds` echo.
Support `Prefer: return=minimal`. Keep the full response as the default.

### Alternatives considered

Make the small response the default for agent tokens. This would create
different response contracts by actor type, so this pull request does
not use that design.

### Roadmap alignment

This is a focused control-plane reliability improvement. It does not
duplicate an open roadmap milestone.

## What Changed

- Compute committed issue row and relation changes in the issue service.
- Omit no-op fields and truncate changed long text values to 200
characters.
- Echo blocker ID arrays for blocker set and clear requests.
- Add the opt-in `Prefer: return=minimal` response and
`Preference-Applied` header.
- Keep receipt metadata out of React Query issue caches.
- Add route and embedded Postgres tests for the new contract.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-activity-events-routes.test.ts`
- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts -t
"returns authoritative update receipts for row fields and blocker
relations"`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm check:token-gates`
- `git diff --check`

## Risks

- Low compatibility risk. The default response only adds receipt fields.
- Minimal mode is opt-in. Existing clients do not receive a smaller
body.
- The receipt excludes `updatedAt` because the response already returns
it as the freshness anchor.
- Prose API and agent workflow guidance will follow after the server
contract is available.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex based on GPT-5. The exact deployment ID, context window
size, and reasoning mode are not exposed to the agent. The agent used
repository tools, code execution, and test execution.

DottaandPaperclip 1f07690184 fix(ui): keep issue threads from jumping to latest comment (#9354)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Issue and item detail pages use a shared issue chat thread to show
comments, runs, activity, and interactions.
> - That thread still defaulted to landing on the latest comment when
messages first loaded.
> - On long issue/item pages, that default can yank the operator away
from the top of the page before they choose to inspect the newest
message.
> - Deep links to comment hashes can create the same kind of initial
viewport jump when they are used as generic navigation targets.
> - This pull request makes initial latest-comment and initial
thread-hash scrolling opt-in instead of default behavior.
> - The benefit is stable initial page position across issue-thread
surfaces while keeping the explicit Jump to latest control available.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No exact public GitHub issue was found for this bug.

Bug description:
- What happened: opening a page with a shared issue conversation thread
could automatically move the viewport toward the newest comment/thread
target.
- Expected behavior: ordinary page loads should keep the initial
viewport stable unless the user explicitly clicks Jump to latest.
- Steps to reproduce: open an issue or item detail page with a long
conversation thread and observe whether the page jumps to the newest
thread entry on initial load.
- Paperclip version/commit: reproduced while working on the current
`master` branch lineage.
- Deployment mode: local trusted/dev UI.

Related public thread/comment UX work: Refs #3916, Refs #7972, Refs
#8800.

## What Changed

- Changed `IssueChatThread` so initial latest-comment scrolling defaults
to off.
- Added a separate opt-in for initial thread-hash scrolling, also
defaulting to off.
- Preserved stale deleted-comment hash cleanup without scrolling the
page.
- Updated regression coverage so default initial load stays put, comment
hashes do not scroll by default, and manual Jump to latest still
scrolls.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` passed on the clean PR
branch.
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run src/pages/IssueDetail.test.tsx -t
"loads from the pending state into issue detail without changing hook
order"` passed on the clean PR branch.
- `pnpm --dir ui exec vitest run
src/components/IssueChatThread.test.tsx` was attempted on the clean PR
branch, but the file fails before changed assertions with the existing
`TypeError: act is not a function` test-harness issue across 58 tests;
14 tests passed.
- Static check: no `autoScrollToLatestOnInitialLoad={true}` or
`autoScrollToHashOnInitialLoad={true}` call sites remain in `ui/src`.

## Risks

Low risk. This only changes initial scroll defaults in the shared issue
thread. The main behavioral shift is that direct comment/thread hashes
no longer auto-scroll on first load unless a caller explicitly opts in;
the Jump to latest button and post-submit scroll behavior are unchanged.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 33353ce62b feat(skills): remove bundled paperclip-dev skill and retire required skill attribute (#7029)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Local adapters (Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Grok, OpenCode, Pi,
ACPX) ship bundled "skills" — opinionated Markdown prompt bundles
materialized into the agent's runtime
> - One of those bundled skills, `paperclip-dev`, existed to let agents
develop Paperclip itself; it has now moved to its own external repo and
no longer belongs in the core tree
> - The adapter skill model also carried a `required` / `requiredReason`
attribute plus a `paperclip_required` `AdapterSkillOrigin` variant, all
of which only existed to mark bundled skills as non-optional in the UI
and adapter sync logic
> - With `paperclip-dev` gone, no bundled skill is "required" anymore,
and the type / runtime surface for `required` is dead weight — but it is
computed at request time and never persisted, so a clean removal is safe
(no compatibility shim needed)
> - This pull request deletes `skills/paperclip-dev/` and removes every
trace of the `required` / `requiredReason` field and the
`paperclip_required` origin across shared types, validators,
adapter-utils, all eight local adapters, server routes, the
company-skills service, the UI, the storybook fixtures, and the test
suite
> - The benefit is a smaller, simpler adapter-skill surface: one origin
(`company_managed`) for managed bundled skills,
`resolvePaperclipDesiredSkillNames` collapses to "just the configured
desired set", and the AgentDetail skills tab no longer renders a
"Required by Paperclip" section that no longer applies

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

<!-- No existing public GitHub issue; describing the underlying work
inline (feature_request template fields). -->

**Summary**

Remove the bundled `paperclip-dev` skill (now maintained in its own
external repo) and retire the `required` / `requiredReason` skill
attribute and the `paperclip_required` skill origin, which only existed
to support it.

**Problem or motivation**

`paperclip-dev` is the only bundled skill that was ever marked
"required". Now that it lives in a separate repository, shipping it
inside the core tree is wrong, and the entire `required` surface (a type
field, a validator field, a synthesized `paperclip_required` origin, UI
"Required by Paperclip" section, and required-skill merging in the
desired-skills calculation) becomes dead weight. The `required` value is
computed at request time and never persisted, so it can be removed
cleanly without a migration or compatibility shim.

**Proposed solution**

Delete `skills/paperclip-dev/`, drop the `required` / `requiredReason`
fields and `paperclip_required` origin everywhere they are produced or
consumed, collapse managed-skill origin to a single `company_managed`
value, and simplify `resolvePaperclipDesiredSkillNames` to return only
the configured desired set.

**Alternatives considered**

Keeping the `required` attribute as a no-op for forward compatibility —
rejected because it is request-time only (nothing persists it), so
leaving it in place is pure dead surface area with no callers.

**Roadmap alignment**

Internal cleanup / dead-code removal that simplifies the adapter-skill
surface; it does not introduce or duplicate any planned core feature in
ROADMAP.md.

## What Changed

- Deleted bundled `skills/paperclip-dev/` (moved to a separate repo).
- Dropped `required`, `requiredReason`, and the `paperclip_required`
origin from `packages/shared/src/types/adapter-skills.ts`,
`packages/shared/src/validators/adapter-skills.ts`, and
`packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`.
- In `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts`: removed
`readSkillRequired()`; dropped `required`/`requiredReason` from
`listPaperclipSkillEntries()`,
`normalizeConfiguredPaperclipRuntimeSkills()`,
`buildPersistentSkillSnapshot()`, and `PaperclipSkillEntry`; collapsed
`buildManagedSkillOrigin()` to always return `company_managed`;
simplified `resolvePaperclipDesiredSkillNames()` to return only the
configured desired set (signature preserved so adapter call sites are
untouched).
- Walked all eight local adapters (`acpx-local`, `claude-local`,
`codex-local`, `cursor-local`, `gemini-local`, `grok-local`,
`opencode-local`, `pi-local`) and removed every remaining
`requiredReason` / `paperclip_required` reference.
- `server/src/services/company-skills.ts`: dropped the `required =
sourceKind === "paperclip_bundled"` synthesis when listing runtime skill
entries.
- `server/src/routes/agents.ts`: removed required-skill merging from the
desired-skills calculation in the persist-config path and the
unsupported-snapshot path (keeping the current version-aware
`desiredSkillEntries` structure).
- `ui/src/pages/AgentDetail.tsx`: dropped required-based filters, the
required tooltip, and the entire "Required by Paperclip" section from
the agent skills tab; storybook fixtures in
`ui/storybook/stories/acpx-local.stories.tsx` cleaned up to match.
- Tests: deleted the `required: false` case in
`paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts` and the "keeps required bundled skills
installed" case in every `*-local-skill-sync.test.ts`;
`acpx-local-execute.test.ts`, `cursor-local-execute.test.ts`,
`cursor-local-skill-sync.test.ts`, `agent-skills-routes.test.ts`, and
`packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.test.ts` were updated to drop
removed fields and map `origin: "paperclip_required"` →
`"company_managed"`.
- `server/src/adapters/registry.ts`: two `as unknown as
ServerAdapterModule["..."]` casts on `hermesListSkills` /
`hermesSyncSkills` (matching the existing `executeHermesLocal` pattern).
`hermes-paperclip-adapter@0.2.0` still depends on the published
`@paperclipai/adapter-utils` which keeps the retired
`paperclip_required` variant; the cast bridges the
workspace-vs-published type mismatch at the registry seam and can drop
once hermes upgrades.

## Verification

Run from the workspace root:

```sh
grep -rn "skills/paperclip-dev" .
grep -rn "paperclip_required" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" .
grep -rn "requiredReason" --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" .

pnpm -w typecheck
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run paperclip-skill-utils
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run skill-sync
```

The first three greps return only the explanatory comment in
`server/src/adapters/registry.ts` (no live `paperclip_required` /
`requiredReason` usage) and zero `skills/paperclip-dev` source hits.

Locally:

- `pnpm -w typecheck` → all packages this PR touches pass
(adapter-utils, shared, server, ui, cli, and the
cursor/gemini/opencode/pi adapters).
- Affected vitest suites pass: `paperclip-skill-utils`, `server-utils`,
all eight `*-local-skill-sync`, `agent-skills-routes`, and the
`acpx`/`cursor`/`pi` execute suites.

## Risks

- Behavioral shift in the agent skills UI: the "Required by Paperclip"
section disappears. No bundled skill is required anymore, so this only
affects environments that previously surfaced `paperclip-dev` as a
forced-on row; those installs will see the skill move into the regular
"company-managed" list (and be uninstalled on next sync unless
explicitly listed as desired).
- Existing agents may still have the string `"paperclip-dev"` in their
persisted `desiredSkills`. That entry is inert (no source for it to
install from); a one-time DB cleanup is out of scope. Low risk.
- Hermes adapter type bridge: two casts in `registry.ts` paper over a
type-only divergence between the workspace `@paperclipai/adapter-utils`
and the published version still pinned by
`hermes-paperclip-adapter@0.2.0`. Runtime behavior is unaffected because
the retired `paperclip_required` value is no longer produced by anything
in this tree. The casts can be removed once hermes upgrades its
dependency.

## Model Used

- Provider: Anthropic
- Model: Claude Opus 4.7 (`claude-opus-4-7`)
- Capability: agent tool use via Paperclip's `claude_local` adapter

Dotta e50666e4c8 [codex] Move maintainer task skills under .agents (#7658)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The skills layout separates runtime Paperclip skills in `skills/`
from maintainer/agent workflow skills in `.agents/skills/`.
> - Three maintainer workflow skills still lived under root `skills/`,
making them look like runtime skills shipped through the Paperclip skill
path.
> - Root `skills/` is documented as reserved for Paperclip runtime
skills, so these task-oriented maintainer skills belong with the other
`.agents/skills` entries.
> - This pull request moves the three requested skill packages, updates
the direct smoke path, and adds regression coverage for the
maintainer-only skill boundary.
> - The benefit is a cleaner skills boundary without changing skill
contents or runtime behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Internal Paperclip issue: PAP-10471.

No public GitHub issue exists for this repository-maintenance change.
Inline feature/enhancement issue description follows the feature request
template fields:

### Problem or motivation

Root `skills/` is documented as reserved for Paperclip runtime skills,
but `terminal-bench-loop`, `paperclip-create-plugin`, and
`diagnose-why-work-stopped` lived there even though they are
maintainer/agent workflow skills.

### Proposed solution

Move those three skill packages to `.agents/skills/`, update the
terminal-bench loop smoke script to read the new local path, and cover
the moved skill names in the existing runtime-skill discovery test
fixture.

### Alternatives considered

Leaving the skills in root `skills/` would preserve direct old paths,
but it keeps blurring the runtime-skill boundary. Moving them into the
app-shipped skills catalog would be the wrong fit because these are
maintainer workflow skills, not bundled company skills.

### Roadmap alignment

This is a small maintenance cleanup around the existing Skills
Manager/workflow-skill organization and does not introduce a
roadmap-level core feature.

## What Changed

- Moved `terminal-bench-loop`, `paperclip-create-plugin`, and
`diagnose-why-work-stopped` into `.agents/skills/`.
- Updated the terminal-bench loop smoke script and skill self-check text
to use `.agents/skills/terminal-bench-loop/SKILL.md`.
- Added regression coverage in
`server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts` that places these
three skills under `.agents/skills` while asserting runtime discovery
still lists only root runtime skills.

## Verification

- `pnpm smoke:terminal-bench-loop-skill --source-issue-id
"$PAPERCLIP_TASK_ID" --run-key PAP-10471-move-skill-path`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts`
- `rg -n
"skills/(terminal-bench-loop|paperclip-create-plugin|diagnose-why-work-stopped)"
. --glob '!node_modules' --glob '!dist' --glob '!ui/dist'` returned no
matches.

## Risks

- Low risk: this is a file-location change plus direct path/test
updates.
- Maintainer agents that referenced the old root paths directly will
need to use `.agents/skills/...` instead.

> 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, GPT-5 coding agent with shell/tool use.

DottaandPaperclip f09d4231e3 [codex] Add create-issue-interaction-ui maintainer skill (#7659)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Issue-thread interactions are one of the core ways agents pause for
structured board or user decisions.
> - Adding a new interaction kind currently requires coordinated changes
across shared contracts, server behavior, UI cards, fixtures,
CLI/MCP/plugin SDK helpers, and agent guidance.
> - The checkbox-confirmation rollout established a good end-to-end
pattern, but contributors needed a durable maintainer checklist for
repeating that work.
> - This pull request adds a developer/maintainer skill that captures
that workflow inside the repo under `.agents/skills`.
> - The benefit is a reusable implementation guide for future
interaction-card work without installing that guidance on runtime
Paperclip agents.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Paperclip issue: [PAP-10457](/PAP/issues/PAP-10457)

This PR documents the process for adding a new issue-thread interaction
family end-to-end. There is no GitHub issue for this Paperclip-internal
skill addition.

## What Changed

- Added `.agents/skills/create-issue-interaction-ui/SKILL.md` as a
developer/maintainer skill.
- Covered shared contract, server route/service behavior, UI card
wiring, fixtures/Storybook, CLI/MCP/plugin SDK helpers, agent guidance,
invariants, and focused verification.
- Referenced the checkbox-confirmation rollout (`4d5322c82`, PR `#7649`)
as the canonical worked example.

## Verification

- `git diff --check origin/master..HEAD`
- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts`
- Reviewed the added skill markdown for scope, location, and workflow
completeness.

## Risks

Low risk. This is a documentation/skill-only change under
`.agents/skills`; it does not change runtime code, database schema, API
behavior, or installed production-agent guidance.

> 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 coding agent based on GPT-5, with shell and GitHub CLI tool
access. Exact hosted model variant and context-window size were not
exposed by the runtime.

Devin FoleyandPaperclip 91333ec86f feat: add paperclip-dev skill with optional bundled skill support (#3854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents working on the Paperclip codebase itself need guidance on dev
workflows: server lifecycle, worktrees, builds, database ops,
diagnostics
> - There was no bundled skill covering these workflows — agents had to
figure it out from scratch each time
> - Additionally, not every skill should be force-installed on every
agent — a dev-focused skill should be opt-in
> - This PR adds a `paperclip-dev` skill with `required: false`
frontmatter so it ships with Paperclip but isn't auto-installed
> - The skill's PR section references canonical files
(`.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`) instead of
duplicating their content, with gated instructions that force agents to
read those files before creating any PR
> - The benefit is that developers (human or agent) can opt in to
structured dev guidance without polluting the default agent skill set or
creating drift between duplicated docs

## What Changed

- Added `skills/paperclip-dev/SKILL.md` covering server management,
worktree lifecycle, builds, database ops, diagnostics, agent operations,
and common mistakes
- The Pull Requests section uses gated, reference-based instructions —
agents MUST read `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` and
`CONTRIBUTING.md` before running `gh pr create`, with a brief checklist
of required section names (no content duplication)
- Updated `packages/adapter-utils/src/server-utils.ts` to respect
`required: false` frontmatter — optional skills are bundled but not
auto-installed on agents
- Added test in `server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts`
verifying that optional skills are excluded from the default install set

## Verification

```bash
# Run tests
pnpm test

# Manual verification: create a fresh worktree without seeding
npx paperclipai worktree:make test-optional-skill --no-seed
cd ~/paperclip-test-optional-skill
eval "$(npx paperclipai worktree env)"
npx paperclipai run

# Verify paperclip-dev appears in company skill library but is NOT auto-assigned
# Call listPaperclipSkillEntries() — paperclip-dev should show required: false
# Call resolvePaperclipDesiredSkillNames() — paperclip-dev should NOT be in the default set

# Cleanup
npx paperclipai worktree:cleanup test-optional-skill
```

## Risks

- Low risk. The `required` field defaults to `true` when absent, so all
existing skills behave identically. Only the new `paperclip-dev` skill
sets `required: false`.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.6 (`claude-opus-4-6`) via Claude Code, with tool use and
extended context.

to this change
- [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability
details)
- [x] I have run tests locally and they pass

DottaandPaperclip 641eb44949 [codex] Harden create-agent skill governance (#4422)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Hiring agents is a governance-sensitive workflow because it grants
roles, adapter config, skills, and execution capability
> - The create-agent skill needs explicit templates and review guidance
so hires are auditable and not over-permissioned
> - Skill sync also needs to recognize bundled Paperclip skills
consistently for Codex local agents
> - This pull request expands create-agent role templates, adds a
security-engineer template, and documents capability/secret-handling
review requirements
> - The benefit is safer, more repeatable agent creation with clearer
approval payloads and less permission sprawl

## What Changed

- Expanded `paperclip-create-agent` guidance for template selection,
adjacent-template drafting, and role-specific review bars.
- Added a Security Engineer agent template and collaboration/safety
sections for Coder, QA, and UX Designer templates.
- Hardened draft-review guidance around desired skills, external-system
access, secrets, and confidential advisory handling.
- Updated LLM agent-configuration guidance to point hiring workflows at
the create-agent skill.
- Added tests for bundled skill sync, create-agent skill injection, hire
approval payloads, and LLM route guidance.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/agent-skills-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/codex-local-skill-injection.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/codex-local-skill-sync.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/llms-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/paperclip-skill-utils.test.ts --config
server/vitest.config.ts` passed: 5 files, 23 tests.
- `git diff --check public-gh/master..pap-2228-create-agent-governance
-- . ':(exclude)ui/storybook-static'` passed.
- Confirmed this PR does not include `pnpm-lock.yaml`.

## Risks

- Low-to-medium risk: this primarily changes skills/docs and tests, but
it affects future hiring guidance and approval expectations.
- Reviewers should check whether the new Security Engineer template is
too broad for default company installs.
- No database migrations.
