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.

Secrets, personal credentials, and proposals

Operators manage company secret references, users supply their own credentials where required, and reviewers decide proposed secret changes without exposing secret values in ordinary UI evidence.

Implementation: secrets page, personal secrets, proposals.

Sub-features

  • company-secrets: create/update secret references and control their bindings.
  • user-secrets: define required user credentials and set a value for the current user.
  • proposals: review proposed changes with the appropriate authority.
  • vault-import: import eligible external-vault references through the offered flow.
  • runtime-delivery: deliver only the secret references authorized for the run/actor.

How to get to it (user POV)

secret-management

Open company Settings → Secrets and the company/personal secret views.

proposal-import

Use the Proposals tab or Import from vault where available.

Driving it

Preconditions: follow the baseline. Use dummy credentials in an isolated company, two user identities, and a test agent. Never print actual secret values in evidence.

secret-management

Automated: secrets service and user ownership cover storage/access contracts.

Manual: Create a dummy secret reference, bind it through a supported field, and verify its use in a harmless run without logging the value. Update it and reload. Switch users and confirm personal values remain owner-scoped and missing credentials produce an actionable state.

proposal-import

Automated: proposal routes and vault import dialog cover route/UI layers; a real vault integration needs live validation.

Manual: Review a dummy proposal, reject one and accept another, then inspect the resulting reference state and history. Preview a vault import, select only disposable entries, and verify imported references and denied-access errors after reload.

Gotchas

  • A displayed reference name is not proof that the actor can resolve its value at runtime.
  • Company secrets and user-specific values have different ownership.
  • Redaction needs verification in errors, activity, and run logs as well as the form.
