DottaandPaperclip 433d94ee0b refactor(maps): generate indexes from local story and feature metadata (#16214)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Feature recipes and Storybook help contributors find behavior,
examples, and verification steps.
> - Independent feature changes currently update shared catalogs,
indexes, and review hashes.
> - Those shared files cause merge conflicts and repeated bookkeeping
during parallel work.
> - This pull request stores metadata in each feature recipe and story,
then generates the combined views.
> - Contributors can merge independent work without editing a common
index. Git and PR evidence retain change and review history.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

Maintaining the product, agent-access, and Storybook maps while multiple
agents change different features.

**Current behavior**

A story or recipe change can update `catalog.json`, `INDEX.md`, review
hashes, verification tables, and tracked generated navigation. Two
unrelated changes then conflict in the same files.

**Proposed behavior**

Each story declares capability links and classification in
`parameters.paperclip`. Each feature recipe declares its navigation and
optional verification guidance. Startup, build, and UI typechecking
discover these sources and generate ignored indexes and Storybook pages.

**Reason and benefit**

A routine change edits its own source files. Aggregate metadata is
rebuilt from the merged checkout. There is no sidecar registry, shared
review journal, or hash acknowledgment to maintain.

**Breaking changes**

The tracked Storybook catalog and index paths are retired. Consumers use
`ui/storybook/generated/` or `maps/generated/` after generation.
Contributor instructions and the existing feature-gap browser suite use
the new paths. Story and overview IDs remain stable.

## What Changed

- Move the existing annotations into 262 story files. Preserve
classifications, capability associations, exports, and explicit IDs.
- Discover all 35 feature recipes. Store section/order beside each
recipe and move durable verification routes out of the shared table.
- Remove tracked catalogs, inventories, overview pages, and inline
preview ordering. Keep authored preview behavior in `preview-base.tsx`.
- Generate the Storybook guide, feature/access Markdown indexes, gap
report, page-reference inventory, and preview wrapper automatically.
- Update the map contracts and maintenance skills to use Git history and
revision-specific PR/CI evidence.
- Add schema, identity, regeneration, and actual Git merge tests. Run
these through the existing UI Vitest suite. Add focused browser
navigation checks.

This is one coordinated migration. Most of the 367 changed files contain
only moved metadata or deleted generated content. Review the generator
scripts, map contracts, Storybook configuration, and tests first. No
product API or authorization behavior changes.

## Verification

Passed:

- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`: 35 paired areas and 175 capabilities.
- `node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs --check`: 262 suites and 2,485
authored stories after incorporating current master.
- `node --test scripts/check-maps.test.mjs
scripts/storybook-catalog.test.mjs
scripts/storybook-feature-index.test.mjs`: 28 tests, including
independent branches merged in both orders with identical generated
output and no tracked changes.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
storybook/map-tooling.test.ts`: the CI entrypoint runs those map tests.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` before the final master rebase.
- `pnpm build-storybook`: all 2,517 original story/docs URLs retained.
Current master contributes exactly four additional recovery stories.
- Focused Playwright navigation checks: search and open a feature
without examples; expand verification guidance and check source links;
retain capability order and follow a related Foundations suite.

The final clean Storybook build passed after deleting every ignored map
output. Post-rebase UI typechecking and both browser tests passed. The
working tree stays clean after generation. The concurrent-cleanup
regression fails with `ENOENT` without the fix and passes with it.

All GitHub CI gates passed on `00fc7ec18e`, which also received Greptile
5/5 with no unresolved findings. The final merge commit `1c3c5143a6`
incorporates master and resolves only the two modify/delete conflicts by
retaining removal of the aggregate index and catalog. Master’s new
workspace feature and access guidance is preserved. Map validation,
catalog generation, overview generation, all 28 map tests, and diff
checks pass after conflict resolution. The maintainer explicitly
requested merging without another Greptile review. CI has not been rerun
to completion on this merge commit. The local repository-wide `pnpm
test:run` was stopped before completion after the earlier CI matrix
passed; it is not reported as a local pass. No screenshot baselines or
production acceptance are claimed.

To repeat the browser check against an owned Storybook server:

```sh
PAPERCLIP_GAP_STORYBOOK_URL=http://127.0.0.1:6136 pnpm exec playwright test --config tests/storybook-visual/feature-gap-stories.config.ts map-navigation.spec.ts
```

## Risks

- Existing branches need a one-time rebase to move their catalog changes
into local annotations. The PR incorporates the recovery changes from
current master.
- Changing the same story or capability can still produce a meaningful
conflict. This removes the shared aggregate bottleneck.
- The generator uses Storybook's existing CSF parser. Literal-only
annotations and parser regression tests protect the current contract.
- Generated Markdown is available after running the generator; the
published Storybook provides a browsable guide.
- Shared source changes still require review. Removing hashes removes
mechanical acknowledgments; it does not establish runtime parity.

## Model Used

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

Login, invitations, and access

People and agents enter the correct instance and company with the permissions granted to their identity. Login, membership, resource access, and CLI authorization have separate controls.

Implementation: auth page, company members, invitation.

Agent access: companion.

Sub-features

  • login: sign in or claim the board in the configured deployment mode.
  • invitations: join through a valid invite and handle expired or already-used links.
  • membership: review join requests and manage company/instance membership and permissions.
  • resources: respect company and resource boundaries on deep links and mutations.
  • cli-auth: authorize a CLI session and revoke or replace credentials.

How to get to it (user POV)

login

Open /auth; first-owner bootstrap uses /board-claim/:token when configured.

invite-members

Open /invite/:token; operators manage members in company settings and join requests at /inbox/requests. Create/revoke human links at Members → Invites (/company/settings/members?tab=invites). Human invitees receive the chosen role after sign-in; agent invitations still use join-request approval.

cli-authorization

Start the CLI auth/connect flow and approve its /cli-auth/:id browser page; instance access is under Settings when visible.

Driving it with Playwright and the Paperclip CLI

Preconditions: follow the baseline. For login tests use authenticated mode and two test users; local-trusted mode does not prove session enforcement. Use two companies for isolation checks.

login

Automated: auth UI and session routes cover their respective layers.

Manual: Sign in, reload a company deep link, sign out, and revisit it. Confirm the browser requests authentication rather than showing cached company data. Test an invalid claim separately on disposable state.

invite-members

Automated: member UI and invite replay provide component and route evidence.

Manual: Accept an invite as the intended user, inspect the resulting company and permissions, then reuse and expire disposable invites. Change a member permission, reload as that member, and verify a denied operation on another company remains denied.

cli-authorization

Automated: board auth client and token commands cover the client contracts.

Manual: Authorize the intended CLI context, make a read-only company request, then revoke its token and retry. Verify failure is explicit and does not silently fall back to another identity.

Use auth login, auth whoami, and auth revoke-current with explicit context. Retry with the same bearer to prove revocation; deleting local credentials with logout alone does not establish that server revocation succeeded.

Gotchas

  • Settings visibility is not authorization; direct requests still need permission checks.
  • An agent bearer key must not gain another company’s access.
  • Never put invite tokens, session cookies, or API keys in verification evidence.

Storybook verification

login

Scope: ui Storybook: Sign-in form, pending and invalid credentials, deployment-mode claim gate, expired claim. Production: Authenticate and reload company deep link; sign out and confirm session enforcement; reject invalid bootstrap claim. Sources: Source: Auth.tsx, BoardClaim.tsx, board-claim.ts. Tests: Auth.test.tsx, auth-session-route.test.ts, board-claim.test.ts

membership

Scope: ui Storybook: Member and join-request lists; editable versus read-only roles; pending change, rejected request, revoked invite. Production: Persist role/membership changes; enforce actual actor authority, invite replay/expiry and cross-company denial. Sources: Source: CompanyAccess.tsx, authz.ts. Tests: CompanyAccess.test.tsx, invite-accept-replay.test.ts, multi-user-authenticated.spec.ts

cli-auth

Scope: ui Storybook: CLI authorization approval, pending, expired/denied and already-authorized states. Production: Authorize intended CLI identity/context, make scoped request, revoke current server token and retry same bearer; logout alone is insufficient. Sources: Source: CliAuth.tsx. Tests: cli-auth-routes.test.ts, board-auth.test.ts, token.test.ts
