DottaandPaperclip 45862dd210 docs: add a product feature map (#15288)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Its user journeys span tasks, agents, projects, connected apps,
governance, and CLI operations.
> - Existing tests do not provide a shared index of entry points and
verification steps.
> - Contributors need to see which surfaces a change affects and what
evidence exists.
> - This pull request adds an optional product feature map with recipes
and explicit coverage gaps.
> - The map adds no CI checks or required maintenance for future pull
requests.
> - Contributors can use it to find verification steps and state what
they checked.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Issue type**

Missing documentation.

**Where is the issue?**

User-journey verification guidance in AGENTS.md and doc/DEVELOPING.md.

**What's wrong?**

There is no shared index of product features, user entry points,
available test evidence, and remaining coverage gaps. Shared components
can hide differences between their hosts.

**Suggested fix**

Add a documentation-only capability index and verification recipes. The
format takes inspiration from [Omnigent's feature
map](https://github.com/omnigent-ai/omnigent/tree/91acfbbb59f6fc210ff95a9e9428aadd62e06582/feature-map).
The recipes describe Paperclip's own behavior and tests.

Searched GitHub PRs and issues for `feature map` and `feature-map`. No
duplicate change was found. Checked ROADMAP.md. This PR documents
existing capabilities.

## What Changed

- Added 35 feature recipes, 171 named sub-features, and 91 entry points
across product, CLI, operator, and developer surfaces.
- Each recipe describes setup, expected results, existing automated
evidence, manual verification, and coverage gaps.
- Added a dated source snapshot of 185 non-test page TSX modules in 15
areas. The snapshot describes documentation coverage, not runtime
health.
- Included entry points within existing pages, CLI/API operations, and
experimental surfaces. Identified helper-only test evidence where a
rendered journey has no automated proof.
- Linked the map from AGENTS.md and doc/DEVELOPING.md as an optional
reference.
- The final diff contains only Markdown and the inventory JSON. It adds
no checker, tests, package commands, workflows, dependencies, scheduled
work, or mandatory inventory updates.

## Verification

- PASS: local documentation links resolve and the inventory JSON parses.
Confirmed the final PR diff contains only 39 documentation files.
- PASS: `node --test '.github/scripts/tests/*.test.mjs'` — 381 existing
tests after removal of the feature-map tests.
- PASS: `git diff --check`.
- Earlier local build and typecheck passed. The full local test run was
stopped after 26 minutes with failures in unchanged chat-channel and
native-runner integration tests. It did not complete. These application
checks were not repeated for the documentation-only removal.
- [CI on the preceding
head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37398407523)
passed all applicable checks. Checks on the final documentation-only
head are pending.
- PASS: Greptile review on final head
`45c4b0aeb26540324825da43e81bee2336ad1c1f` is 5/5. There are no
unresolved findings.
- Live product/provider journeys were not run to author the map. The
recipes identify available evidence and manual steps, not new
qualification results.

## Risks

Low product risk: the PR changes documentation only. Recipes and the
source snapshot can become stale. Maintenance is optional and based on
review. Linked tests do not prove that every documented journey works.
The map states remaining coverage gaps.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository inspection, reasoning, tool
use, and code execution. The exact serving model ID and context window
were not exposed in this session.

Status cards and refreshed summaries

The status-card experiment turns a saved prompt/query into an inspectable summary of watched work, with refresh history, configuration, and archive/restore controls.

Implementation: status page, card detail.

Sub-features

  • authoring: create a card and configure its prompt, refresh behavior, and summarizer.
  • generation: observe compilation/refresh tasks and their successful or failed output.
  • inspection: read the summary, watched work, history, and available query debugging.
  • archive: archive and restore without confusing a stale summary with a current result.

How to get to it (user POV)

status-board

Open /status, choose New card, and follow a card at /status/:cardId.

card-settings

Open the card detail’s settings/query-debug controls and archive/restore actions.

Driving it

Preconditions: follow the baseline. Enable status cards, use a configured summarizer and disposable tasks, and record whether summary generation is simulated or live.

status-board

Automated: status-card service/routes covers gated lifecycle and generation contracts; tile UI covers rendering.

Manual: Create a bounded card, inspect its generation task, and wait for a saved summary. Change a watched task, refresh, and verify both the summary and update history reflect the source change. Exercise a failed generation and confirm it is not presented as fresh.

card-settings

Automated: settings form and update engine cover separate UI/engine layers.

Manual: Change a disposable card’s prompt or summarizer, run the offered rebuild/refresh, and inspect the resulting query and summary. Archive and restore it, reload its direct link, and check the actual new generation outcome.

Gotchas

  • Summary quality needs comparison against source work, not just a successful task status.
  • A saved old summary must not be counted as a successful new refresh.
  • Experimental visibility, author permissions, and agent ownership constrain mutation.
