DottaandPaperclip 7f72ea7534 fix(links): retain PR status across page reloads (#20654)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task messages contain GitHub pull request links.
> - A hover loads PR status into a shared memory cache.
> - A page reload clears that memory and returns each link to an unknown
state.
> - The browser already saves selected reads for each user and company.
> - This pull request adds learned link previews to that cache.
> - Reloads show the saved status. Only user interest can refresh stale
previews.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

After a user loaded PR status, a page reload removed the learned state.
The browser persistence rules excluded link-preview queries. Related
implementation: #20593. Searches of open and closed PRs found no
duplicate reload-cache fix.

**Expected behavior**

Keep learned PR status across reloads for the same account and company.
Do not load every PR on page render. Reuse fresh results and refresh
stale results on hover or keyboard focus.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Open a task with repeated GitHub PR links.
2. Hover one link and wait for its status.
3. Reload the page.
4. Before this fix, both links return to unknown until another hover.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Reproduced against master source at
`30403781b9418355c78dc0ed978366af77036e76`.

## What Changed

- Add link-preview queries to the existing user and company persistence
rules.
- Keep at most 100 previews across accessible companies. Use the
existing 24-hour retention, build boundary, and sign-out cleanup.
- Keep the original read time and freshness when restoring previews.
Other query types keep their existing restore behavior.
- Add regressions for saved status, negative results, bounds, age,
account changes, membership loss, and sign-out.
- Add a production-component Storybook example and browser reload
checks. Update the cache documentation.
- Use one query-key definition for the component, persistence rules, and
cache tests.

The browser read-cache module owns persistence and account cleanup. This
change extends that owner. The link service and provider API contracts
stay the same.

## Verification

- Red: the new reload and retention tests failed because a fresh client
had no saved PR data.
- Green: 102 focused UI tests passed across the cache, sign-out,
account-query, and query-client suites.
- UI typecheck passed.
- Storybook catalog generation and the static Storybook build passed.
- All 21 browser checks passed with retries disabled. They prove status
and negative-cache restoration after real reloads, no eager requests, no
fresh-hover refetch, and one stale-interest refresh shared by duplicate
links. Existing light/dark and narrow PR states, keyboard access, exact
URLs, and card positioning also pass.
- The first browser attempt could not launch because this session lacked
Chromium. Chromium was installed before the complete passing run; that
first attempt supplies no test verdict.
- `pnpm verify --explain` returned exit 2. The browser test path
requires broad CI coverage. No full local suite is claimed.
- The supplied staging page was not accessible through the web tool. No
deployed acceptance is claimed.
- CI on the first head failed in a Slack long-publication timeout and a
font-loading-frame browser check. Both files are outside this change.
The two publication cases passed when run locally in isolation. The font
case also passed locally against the built UI. [Final-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/42909433167)
passes on `e19d5b8bb1a910b1cbb9bb9a62ab87cdf684737f`. Typecheck, build,
tests, E2E, and Rust checks pass. There are 58 successful check runs,
three expected skips, and one neutral Paperclip Review check. The legacy
Snyk status passes.

Both Greptile and the supplemental Paperclip review report 5/5 on the
final head. No actionable findings or unresolved review threads remain.
The Paperclip Review check itself has a neutral conclusion.

## Risks

- PR display data now remains in browser local storage until expiry,
build change, or sign-out. Each query requires the matching user and an
accessible company.
- A stale saved status can remain visible for up to 24 hours. Hover or
keyboard focus refreshes it after the provider freshness window.
- Storage restrictions retain the existing memory-only fallback. No
schema migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code
execution, and browser automation. The runtime does not expose the exact
serving model ID or context-window size. No subagents were used.

@paperclipai/ui

Published static assets for the Paperclip board UI.

What gets published

The npm package contains the production build under dist/. It does not ship the UI source tree or workspace-only dependencies.

Storybook

Storybook config, stories, and fixtures live under ui/storybook/.

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui storybook
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook

Typical use

Install the package, then serve or copy the built files from node_modules/@paperclipai/ui/dist.

Editor dependency identity

Keep the root and workspace overrides for @codemirror/state, @codemirror/view, and @lezer/common aligned. CodeMirror requires shared extension identity, while Lezer parsers and syntax highlighters require shared NodeProp IDs. Multiple Lezer copies can crash code-block highlighting with tags is not iterable. src/lib/codemirror-single-instance.test.ts checks the installed dependency graph and highlights sample code through the editor's real language dependencies. GitHub Actions owns regeneration of pnpm-lock.yaml.
