## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Tasks and Inbox are the main entry points for that work. > - Earlier changes made their data reads and row counts smaller. > - Those changes remain, but shared controls now pull in the whole task-detail bundle. > - A cold open can also read a remembered organization before selecting the one in the URL. > - This pull request separates collection code and selects the addressed organization first. > - It warms task code after collection paint, so the next task open stays fast. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #17756, #18323, #16849, #17041, #17983, #17960, #18461. **What happened?** Tasks and Inbox still use their optimized index reads and row budgets. However, small shared controls and hooks were placed in the task-detail chunk. A collection had to download that whole chunk. The HTML also preloaded it on every route. The original production profile loaded about 6.5 MB of decoded JavaScript before useful rows, or 1.9 MB transferred with compression. Company bootstrap could select a different remembered organization before Layout selected the URL's organization. This started unnecessary company reads. A retained multi-company browser fixture reproduced two attention-count requests for different companies. **Expected behavior** Show correctly scoped, stable collection rows without waiting for task-detail code. Keep compact reads, bounded rendering, direct task preloading, immediate New Task input, and fast follow-on navigation. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Use a production UI build with Coordinator enabled and two active organizations. 2. Remember one organization, then cold-open Tasks or Mine in the other. 3. Inspect startup script and company requests before the first useful row. The baseline UI revision is `91fdf02e95`. This is a UI change. It has no API, schema, migration, or authorization changes. ## What Changed - Group the static collection dependency trees above the task-detail group. Keep the existing startup and task grouping strategy. - Preload task detail and its static dependency closure early on direct task and agent-chat URLs. Keep collection aliases out of that preload. - Fetch the immutable task chunk at low priority after a collection paints, or on a same-origin task-link hint. After a successful immutable response is fully read, module-preload the cached chunk so it can compile without executing. A failed HTTP probe skips module preload. - Prefer an addressed active organization during bootstrap. Preserve manual selection, archived-company handling, and account-scoped company lists. - Preserve a task reading anchor when a programmatic scroll event reports an unchanged offset during restore reflow. Strengthen the Back journey to wait for a completed collection navigation. - Add production-browser checks for delayed indexes, correct company scope, stable row geometry, failed speculation, and early direct-task preload. Update collection verification notes and the feature map. ## Verification Final source: `e402ab7fc6`; baseline UI: `91fdf02e95`. - All **234 focused unit cases** and **44 production-browser journeys** passed on the final source: 33 task journeys and 11 collection journeys. Coverage includes compact history, saved cards, draft persistence, avatar continuity, failed-probe recovery, delayed data, pagination, deep links, desktop/mobile and reading-position restoration through Back. Desktop and mobile screenshots were inspected. - Workspace typecheck, full production build, map checks, token gates and diff checks passed. The default local `pnpm test:run` still stops before executing tests because the existing chat-test line selector reports `No test found` (1,816 skipped). This is not a passed full local test suite. Focused tests and remote CI remain separate evidence. - Greptile reviewed the exact final commit at **5/5**, with zero open review threads. Final code CI passed. The complete check inventory is **55 successful, 3 skipped, 1 neutral**. The neutral result is the separate Paperclip Review: its agent finished without completing an assessment, so it is not a passing review score. Five alternating baseline/candidate pairs per scenario, Chromium 151.0.7922.34, 1440×900, 4× CPU, 50ms latency, approximately 9Mbps down / 1.5Mbps up. Cold cases use fresh browser contexts with normal cache writes enabled; warm cases use the same context and normal application query cache. Both previews use the server's immutable hashed-asset cache policy and uncached HTML, with real local feature settings and no request interception. All task-owned builds and suites were stopped during timing; other host activity was uncontrolled. Readiness requires useful rows and editable search, or the readable task thread and editable composer, followed by two animation frames. | Journey | Baseline median (range) | PR median (range) | Median paired saving | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Cold Tasks | 3239 ms (3189–3333) | 2545 ms (2441–2682) | +752 ms | | Cold Inbox | 3207 ms (3203–3268) | 2679 ms (2502–3062) | +541 ms | | Warm Inbox | 717 ms (701–917) | 760 ms (745–768) | -47 ms | | Warm Tasks | 1150 ms (1126–1207) | 1136 ms (1119–1174) | +18 ms | | First task click | 943 ms (932–1008) | 1007 ms (976–1098) | -74 ms | | Back to Tasks | 584 ms (568–617) | 566 ms (559–575) | +10 ms | | Cold direct task control | 3389 ms (3377–3402) | 3415 ms (3395–3896) | -13 ms | All five pairs improved for each cold collection. The signed saving is baseline minus candidate for each pair; it is distinct from the difference of medians. Warm navigation is broadly similar. First task click was 74ms slower by median paired difference. Direct-task median paired difference was 13ms slower, with one slower 3.90s candidate sample retained in the range; this is not a claimed direct-task speedup. Completed script transfers by collection readiness fell from about **1.91MB to 1.14MB** (Tasks), and **1.90MB to 1.14MB** (Inbox). Task code warms after rows paint. At the test bandwidth, the removed 0.77MB critical transfer represents roughly 0.65s of download time; CPU and network overlap, so their savings are not added. Unthrottled loopback API control medians stayed about 17–18ms in both variants. All 30 cold samples had zero browser errors. Rejected experiments remain separate: automatic splitting produced over 200 startup requests; disabling recursive grouping slowed direct tasks; HTTP-only warming improved collection startup but slowed first task opens. The final correction preloads direct dependencies and compiles successfully cached code after paint. Routing disables HTTP caching, so intercepted runs were kept as diagnostic evidence rather than used for warm-cache acceptance; see [Playwright's cache behavior](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-route). Vite preview's default asset `no-cache` policy was also corrected to match the shipped server before final measurement. ## Risks - Bundle placement affects shared consumers. Browser checks cover collections and task navigation; the full PR checks also cover other routes. - Code warming still transfers the task chunk if the user stays on a populated collection. It moves that download past first paint and does not execute it. This is a startup latency improvement, not a claim that all eventual bytes disappear. - A direct click before warming finishes still loads code on demand. Direct task and chat URLs retain early module preload. - Local browser evidence does not establish a deployed staging speedup. This PR does not merge or deploy itself. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex), with reasoning, tool use and local code execution.

Paperclip feature map
Start here when reproducing a user-facing bug, verifying a change, or deciding which surfaces a fix must cover. Each recipe describes what a person can do, where they can do it, the expected result, and the evidence needed to verify it. Product behavior is still governed by the implementation spec.
The sibling agent access map records APIs, agent entry points and permission boundaries for the same capability IDs. Follow the shared map contract when maintaining either map.
The chat scenario catalog describes how people might request these capabilities in conversation, including setup and permission branches. These are planned Product E2E journeys, not live coverage results.
IDs and references
Use the existing IDs in issues, PRs, Storybook annotations, tests, and verification evidence:
| Reference | Example | Defined by |
|---|---|---|
| Feature ID | onboarding |
The recipe filename without .md. |
| Capability ID | onboarding/company |
The feature ID plus a key from its Sub-features list, separated by /. |
| Entry-point reference | onboarding.md#web-wizard | The recipe filename plus its entry-point heading. The local entry-point ID is web-wizard. |
For example, report verifying onboarding/company through web-wizard.
Capabilities describe behavior; entry points identify the surface used to exercise
it. Entry-point IDs are separate from generated capability IDs. Both maps and
Storybook use the same full capability IDs. Each child page states its feature
ID; recipe bullets show the full capability ID beside the local key, and access
companions show it beneath the local heading. Local keys remain unchanged for
parsing and existing anchors.
Keep recipe filenames, sub-feature keys, and entry-point keys stable when changing display titles or navigation. Renaming a filename or key changes its references. The section headings below are navigation labels, not additional IDs.

Open the published Storybook guide for the assembled feature and capability index. The Markdown recipes in this directory are the authored source. Each has a same-named agent-access companion.
Run node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs to generate local navigation in
maps/generated/feature-map.md, maps/generated/agent-access-map.md, and the
Storybook guide. Recipes are discovered automatically from their navigation
metadata; generation does not depend on this high-level index.
Before driving a journey
- Use this checkout's isolated test drive for manual product checks. It creates a temporary instance and prints its URL and data directory. Do not guess that a server on port 3100 belongs to you.
- Record the commit, URL, company, login role, relevant experimental settings, adapter, runtime mode, and live versus simulated dependencies. Use disposable tasks and provider resources. A fresh test drive creates a company and CEO, but no task or first run.
- Use the current navigation and company prefix. Paths in recipes omit that prefix. Record whether the streamlined or production shell is selected; Agent Chat, chat connectors, and the combined Inbox/Tasks view have separate gates. A hidden surface is an unmet prerequisite, not a successful test.
- Run the smallest relevant test first. Vitest commands below run from the repository root after installing dependencies. Playwright recipes use their named configuration and its isolated environment, not an unrelated running instance. Reserve expensive runner/provider tests for the behavior at issue.
- Exercise the actual user action, inspect its result, reload, and verify the persisted state or continuation. Use read-only API checks to corroborate UI evidence; creating state through the API does not prove the creation UI.
For agent-driven acceptance work, start with the Paperclip verification skill for an isolated launch, ownership/readiness checks, browser driving, evidence, and cleanup. It uses this directory as its feature map. The existing dev-workspace run/verify skill and evaluation skill describe runtime ownership and evidence handling. Reuse them; this map introduces no environment launcher, credentials, scheduled job, or second test framework.
Evidence contract
Report each entry point as passed, failed, blocked (with its missing
prerequisite), or not run. Include the feature ID, full capability IDs and
entry-point ID (for example, onboarding/company through web-wizard), plus the
recipe link, commit/environment, user action, expected and observed result,
command/exit code, and evidence links. Screenshots or traces should show both the
action and the discriminating result. Include task/run/request IDs when relevant,
without secrets.
A fix is verified across its affected surfaces only when each has evidence or an explicit reason it does not apply. Shared code alone does not prove parity. Keep product regressions visible; do not change the recipe to bless a failure. For Paperclip-assigned work, attach evidence through the artifact workflow.
Inventory and remaining depth
The generated maps/generated/coverage.json lists the current non-test TSX page
modules and the recipes that directly reference each one. An unreferenced module
is a documentation candidate, not proof that its feature is absent or untested.
Remaining workflow limits live in each recipe. Inventory and example associations
describe documentation scope, not runtime health.
Maintaining the reference
The map documents user journeys. It does not execute them automatically; generated inventories record documentation scope rather than live test health. Product E2E reports reuse these capability IDs through the journey associations. Their coverage view shows which scenarios in a campaign are linked to each capability and the associated test results. An association or passing scenario does not certify the whole capability; unselected and unmapped journeys remain distinct.
When maintaining a recipe, compare its entry points and expected results with
the current source. Check that linked tests still exercise the stated behavior
and that local references still exist. Keep the same-named agent access companion
and stable sub-feature IDs aligned when behavior or access changes. Source-only
access inventory remains distinct from live verification. Run
node scripts/check-maps.mjs after map edits for structural/reference checks;
follow the shared contract for the source and behavioral checks it cannot perform.
Each recipe starts with a small frontmatter navigation record, then an H1:
---
navigation: {"section":"Tasks and conversations","sectionOrder":20,"order":10}
---
The H1 supplies the feature title, and the first paragraph supplies its summary. Orders are local to the section; leave gaps for additions. Equal orders use the stable filename as a tie-breaker. Keep a section's name/order consistent across its recipes. Discovery uses the recipe and companion; keep the readable ID index above aligned when features or capability IDs change.
Optional ### Storybook verification guidance lives inside the recipe's Gotchas
section. Each level-four heading contains a backtick-quoted capability key and
has Scope (ui, cli, or browser),
Storybook, Production, and Sources fields. These are verification instructions
and intentional scope limits, not run results or a required story for every API.
The generated gap report combines this guidance with current story associations.
After frontmatter, each recipe starts with an H1 and a user-visible description, then exactly:
- Sub-features — stable backticked local keys, full capability IDs, and observable behavior/states,
such as
- `company`: `onboarding/company` — create a company. - How to get to it (user POV) — one H3 backticked entry-point ID per surface.
- Driving it with — starts with
Preconditions:; repeat each entry-point H3, withAutomated:andManual:paragraphs. Name test scope and gaps honestly. - Gotchas — misleading look-alikes, feature gates, and invalid evidence.
New or updated entries follow
Poteto's feature-map examples.
Existing entries with a Driving it heading can adopt the named harness when
their recipes are updated. The original format was inspired by
Omnigent's feature map.
Paperclip's recipes and checks follow its own task model and test infrastructure.
