DottaandPaperclip b508a05c43 feat: add internal agent complaints and suggestions (#15367)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents use legacy skills or native runner tools to work on tasks.
> - Those agents can encounter friction that does not belong in the task
thread.
> - A complaint should preserve the raw reaction. A suggestion should
describe an improvement.
> - This pull request adds attributed local storage and both submission
paths.
> - Agents can submit feedback once and continue their primary work.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**Subsystem affected**

Server, database, shared contracts, runtime skills, and native runner
tools.

**Problem or motivation**

Agents have no default internal channel for incidental complaints and
suggestions. Sending this feedback through task comments adds noise and
can alter task workflows.

**Proposed solution**

Store free-form feedback in the current instance database. Derive agent,
run, company, and task attribution from active authority. Provide
default legacy skills and provider-neutral native actions. Keep the
instructions close to Warp's MIT-licensed originals.

**Alternatives considered**

Task comments and external Slack delivery add unwanted side effects.
Mandatory suggestion fields and short editorial limits would discard
useful feedback. This release has no listing API, UI, read tool,
automatic triage, or external forwarding.

**Roadmap alignment**

This is a maintainer-requested addition to the existing runtime skills
and runner tool paths. It does not duplicate a listed roadmap milestone.
Searches for complaint tooling, suggestion-box, and agent commentary
found no overlapping public PR or issue.

## What Changed

- Add the company-scoped `agent_commentary` table, shared validation,
and idempotent migration `0310`.
- Add one transactional service and the agent-only POST route. Validate
active authority before writes or replay. Redact known credentials.
Commit a content-free audit with each new record.
- Add `submit_complaint` and `submit_suggestion` to standard, ask, and
planning modes. Keep review, revocation, and completion restrictions.
Store replay identity on the commentary row.
- Mount `complain` and `suggestion-box` by default for legacy agents.
Bundle a dependency-free Node.js stdin helper in the operational skill
and allow its POST through the sandbox bridge.
- Preserve Warp's complaint voice and suggestion guidance, with
attribution and local transport adaptations. Keep source attribution and
MIT notices in each skill's LICENSE, outside runtime instructions.
- Document custom-runtime HTTP use and database inspection. Add
real-database tests and a repeatable live Codex smoke for local and
Daytona execution.
- Pin the lagging-source migration fixture before the identity-repair
migration so later migrations preserve its regression coverage.

## Verification

- Personally ran real Codex submissions in all four environments on
2026-10-06. Local runs passed at 20:35 UTC. Daytona native passed at
20:31 UTC; Daytona legacy passed at 20:33 UTC. Each stored exactly two
rows with company, agent, run, and task attribution, wrote the
continuation marker, exited zero, created no task comments, and left
task status unchanged. Each recorded two content-free activity entries.
- Daytona used production provider hooks, real remote execution and file
transfer, the legacy queue callback bridge, and native private WebSocket
ingress. The current Linux runner was built from `abf47b595`, staged,
and verified against controller contracts. Both sandboxes were confirmed
deleted. This is a focused feedback transport smoke; it does not claim
full Runner E2E catalog or browser qualification.
- The immutable base image and Linux binary digest are recorded in [the
verification
documentation](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/codex/agent-commentary/doc/agent-commentary.md#verification).
The smoke script can save content-free JSON evidence. No credentials or
feedback bodies are in these reports.

| Environment | Runner | Complaint row | Suggestion row |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| local | legacy Codex | `59413a00-1de2-4bb1-bcc6-9c4b54c64aa6` |
`3db2364d-3e15-4f47-846f-875d3902999d` |
| local | native Codex | `5da22b5f-41df-4de5-8ba0-d9345ab01267` |
`2d5abe17-dd41-403c-a5ee-4729f2d58921` |
| daytona | legacy Codex | `27c9d0aa-8477-409f-9da0-e8ffa48dee50` |
`209681c9-d1e9-4ce1-999e-48fa07692389` |
| daytona | native Codex | `6eb001bb-4bcf-43f7-8717-f662f53dc7c3` |
`77c383d8-a997-49e5-a33e-25c70e15c0b2` |

- Run the local check with `node cli/node_modules/tsx/dist/cli.mjs
server/scripts/verify-agent-commentary-live.ts`. The documentation gives
the Daytona invocation. Both use disposable instance databases and
normal Codex provider usage.
- Repository `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed after the test
extension. The build includes runner generation, contracts, and replay
checks. The smoke scripts also passed a separate TypeScript check. The
lagging-source migration regression passed. All equivalent current-head
Vitest CI shards passed. The local monolithic `pnpm test:run` invocation
was stopped after CI supplied that coverage; it did not complete
locally.
- Focused tests cover company isolation, spoofing, revoked credentials,
stale ownership, post-finish rejection, concurrent replay, conflicting
keys, atomic rollback, and deletion through existing services. Boundary
tests cover empty text, Unicode, text beyond 8,000 characters, and the
524,288-character ceiling without truncation. Mounting tests cover
Codex, Claude, and sandbox staging. Helper tests cover standalone Node
execution, stdin, invalid UTF-8, redirects, HTTP failure, and its
deadline. Privacy and bridge tests cover successful and rejected
requests.
- Instructions were compared with Warp's originals. MIT notices and
source credits live only in LICENSE files. Native tools preserve
truthful disclosure when asked, without routine announcements.
- [Full
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/37508559190)
and Greptile 5/5 passed on the earlier feature commit `5209c3501`. The
later head found the migration-fixture assumption fixed in this update.
On `8a4965164`, all 55 check contexts passed after one browser shard
rerun. Its initial reviewer signoff failure also passed an isolated
local browser run (1 test). Greptile scored that head 5/5 and identified
one smoke cleanup gap. `6ecbafb0b` fixes failed-acquisition cleanup with
four passing tests and a passing smoke-script typecheck. Fresh CI is
pending for this final test-only fix. No commentary production code
changed during verification.

## Risks

- Feedback is internally attributed. It is not anonymous. Existing
redaction removes known credentials, but agents must still omit
sensitive content. Normal provider transcripts can include their
submitted arguments.
- Default skill availability changes for existing legacy agents. Runtime
policy filtering still applies. The helper uses the existing Node.js
runtime with no extra dependencies; custom runtimes can call the HTTP
endpoint.
- Feedback is removed with its run, agent, or company. Task deletion
clears only the issue pointer. Normal database backups include the
table.
- The migration is additive and has no backfill. Writes serialize on the
active run for replay consistency. No server suggestion quota is
imposed.

## Model Used

OpenAI `gpt-6-astra` through Codex, with `xhigh` reasoning effort and a
reported 258,400-token context window. Capabilities used: repository
inspection, code execution, and live runtime verification. No subagents
were used.

PRP v1/v2 Contract

The JSON Schema files in schemas/ are the language-neutral source of truth for Paperclip Runner Protocol versions 1 and 2. The fixtures in fixtures/ define accepted and rejected compatibility cases.

Compatibility

  • protocolVersion, fixtureVersion, and event.schemaVersion are required.
  • A consumer fails closed when a required version or schema discriminator is not supported.
  • A v1 envelope can contain an unknown optional property when its schema marks that object as extensible.
  • A consumer ignores an unknown optional property until a later contract gives it meaning.
  • A required field, enum value, or typed structured-input field is not optional.
  • Question and answer identifiers are stable across the provider boundary.
  • Peers negotiate the highest mutually supported protocol version. Existing v1 runners remain compatible but cannot receive v2-only session-goal commands.

The unknown-optional-fields.json fixture must be accepted. The unsupported-required-version.json fixture must be rejected.

Session goals (v2)

PRP v2 adds a provider-neutral durable session-goal lifecycle. Every v2 capability snapshot includes sessionGoals, even when its availability is unsupported or policy_disabled. Paperclip sends controls only when the negotiated capability advertises the corresponding action.

Commands:

  • session.goal.get
  • session.goal.set for objective, status, and optional token budget changes
  • session.goal.clear

Events:

  • session.capabilities.updated
  • session.goal.snapshot
  • session.goal.updated
  • session.goal.cleared

Goal state is separate from Paperclip's company/business goal hierarchy. The snapshot distinguishes the durable status from workingNow, because an active goal can be idle between autonomous turns. A runner emits the full capability and authoritative snapshot after every session open or resume. Missing v1 capability is unsupported; clients do not infer support from an adapter name.

Scope

The first provider descriptor and adapter fixture cover Codex only. The schemas for provider-neutral events and semantic receipts do not enable those actions. Discovery and authorization are separate contracts.

The conformance manifest records every source file and its SHA-256 digest. Run pnpm generate:protocol-manifest from this package after a source change. CI runs the same generator with --check to reject drift. This check also compiles the JSON Schemas and validates every replay, question, and cross-language conformance fixture against its declared schema.

The files in fixtures/replay/golden/ are deterministic reducer oracles. Each accepted replay fixture has a complete session snapshot and a compact parity summary. pnpm generate:replay-goldens updates them after an intentional reducer change; package build and CI fail when they drift.

The files in fixtures/local-runner/scripts/ drive the package-local fake harness. They cover successful, failed, interrupted, interactive, duplicate terminal, process-cleanup, and oversized-frame behavior without starting a production adapter.
