DottaandPaperclip 2ee36a4c0a test: add chat feature scenarios and real task workflow evals (#17794)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat lets a person assign work through a conversation.
> - Feature and API maps do not prove that a natural request produces
the right saved result.
> - Product E2E already owns isolated fixtures, browser runs, evidence
and cleanup.
> - This pull request adds a chat scenario catalog and two real task
workflows in that framework.
> - Independent checks verify the task, its author, the saved output and
the reply in chat.
> - The benefit is a small executable foundation for broader chat
coverage.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

It adds real task creation and delegation coverage for Agent Chat.

**Current behavior**

Existing maps describe features and agent access. Existing chat evals
cover specific protocols and handoffs. They do not connect a broad
human-request catalog to independent saved-state checks.

**Proposed behavior**

Keep 244 planned scenarios across 35 feature areas. Promote two requests
into the explicit-only `chat-features` suite. One saves a backlog task
without starting work. The other delegates an announcement and returns
the saved result to the original chat.

**Reason and benefit**

A successful tool call or confident reply does not prove the requested
result exists. These evals check public API state, attribution and
browser access after a real model run.

**Breaking changes**

No API or data schema changes. Chat instructions now require actual
relative task links. The local E2E private-state scanner recognizes
Codex account ownership metadata while continuing to reject credentials
and model-visible identity leaks.

**Additional context**

Related prior work: #13969 and #13762. This improves verification of the
existing Agent Chat roadmap item. It does not add a new core product
feature.

## What Changed

- Add YAML scenarios with capability IDs, starting context, user
requests and expected outcomes. Validate all area files against their
schema, global ID uniqueness and exact feature-map capability coverage.
- Add two local native Codex subscription cells. Send the exact catalog
request once through Chromium.
- Seed only prerequisites through public APIs. Use shipped agent
instructions and explicit disposable budget policies for unpriced
subscription usage.
- Check task ownership, creation audit, no premature execution, current
worker-authored output, automatic completion delivery and usable links
after reload.
- Keep private Codex account ownership metadata distinct from bearer
credentials. Scan rollout message content, all tokens and published
evidence as before.
- Teach normal chat instructions to use relative task links instead of
invented hosts. Update tests, maps and the runbook.
- Repair existing E2E contract drift: include the active Copilot
identity in the image digest and update Pi profile expectations. Keep
global catalog cardinality in its owning catalog test.

Product E2E owns the new flow and grader. Its existing launch and report
paths remain in use. The shared scanner change is limited to
owner-private temporary Codex runtime metadata. Other callers retain the
full secret scan. No UI, endpoint, schema or permission behavior
changes.

## Verification

- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passed: 35 areas and 191 capability IDs.
- Product E2E typecheck and focused tests passed before rebase: 225
Vitest tests and 137 Node tests. Conversation service tests passed
40/40. Five existing runner turn-binding regressions passed.
- Historical live measurement used real Chromium, server, database and
native Codex with no automatic retries. The initial same-definition
batch passed 5/6 cells. Backlog passed 3/3; delegation passed 2/3. One
CEO startup failed because the runner did not receive a provider turn
identity. The cause is unresolved.
- An unchanged follow-up passed delegation three times and backlog
twice. Combined evidence is backlog 5/5 and delegation 5/6. Each attempt
passed cleanup. Later passes do not erase the earlier failure or prove a
runner repair.
- Earlier failed revisions exposed an invented task hostname, private
account metadata false positives and missing funding for unpriced
subscription usage. Those led to the specific changes above; the failed
records remain retained locally.
- The runbook records campaign identifiers and definition provenance.
Generated result artifacts are not committed. Historical live results
predate this branch rebase; fresh PR-source live evidence and final
validation are recorded below.
- Full workspace typecheck and production build passed on the rebased
branch. Product E2E typecheck passed.
- The full Product E2E support suite first reproduced four baseline
failures: two missing active Copilot image-identity inputs and two stale
Pi/catalog expectations. The narrow contract fixes above resolved them.
The full rerun passed 4,282 Vitest tests plus 137 Node tests, with two
skipped. Image checks verify mutation changes the hash, unchanged input
stays stable, and an input closure without Copilot is unaffected.
Original failed logs remain retained.
- The repo-wide local Vitest run has reported two failures in unchanged
service files. The Workspace connection test passed an isolated recheck
and its full file passed 469/469 unchanged. The recovery test hit a
15-second timeout; its full file passed 89/89 unchanged. The run later
hit explicit PostgreSQL `semget` resource exhaustion and was interrupted
after those observed failures; no final aggregate counts or full local
pass are claimed. Its complete available log is retained. No assertion
or timeout was weakened. Matching remote server CI passed on the same
source.
- On clean PR head `39ad80b523ce194c90aafafd077d48dd9a36b4c5`, backlog
passed in `local-2026-10-26T19-24-13-014Z`. The parallel delegation
fixture failed during PostgreSQL initdb, before browser or model
execution; its failed cleanup grade is retained. A disposable standalone
initdb probe then passed. No semaphore sets or kernel settings were
changed before that probe/recheck. After confirming no remaining fixture
process, its private temporary files were removed.
- One separate delegation recheck passed in
`local-2026-10-26T19-29-24-800Z`, with one attempt, zero automatic
retries and successful cleanup. Both passing current-source cells use
definition
`3f2c9ba2d03e3dcddde47ddab3b43bc52de977f25e256fceae0a24c9128e204b`. The
earlier bootstrap failure and the historical provider startup failure
remain distinct. These local results omit automatic source-SHA metadata;
the clean checkout SHA is recorded here from the execution session.
- The later broad local run reported `could not create semaphores: No
space left on device`. A bounded cleanup removed 32 current-user
PostgreSQL sets with 17 members, marker 537, a dead recorded creator and
zero waiters. No live process or kernel limit was changed by that
cleanup. The test process group was subsequently stopped; no broad rerun
is planned. This direct later resource failure does not prove the
precise cause of the earlier live initdb failure.
- Review follow-up adds only static catalog validation and documentation
of the existing five-minute journey bound. The executable definition is
unchanged. Focused catalog/oracle tests passed 28/28; no redundant live
run is claimed.
- Final head `30fcb36ac9ae1f0270a589dbfafcec91ca6a03f3` passed all
required and underlying CI checks in [run
40391402347](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40391402347),
including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Greptile and Paperclip Review
both scored this head 5/5, with all review threads resolved. The static
follow-up leaves every executable definition input byte-identical to the
live-tested source at `39ad80b`.

Normal squash auto-merge is enabled. Actual merge is pending eligible
code-owner approval for the owned dependency manifest; no protection is
bypassed.

## Risks

- Live model behavior can vary. One missing turn-start event remains
unexplained; this PR does not claim provider reliability or broad
catalog qualification.
- Subscription costs are unpriced. Explicit fixture funding admits that
usage. Run counts and deadlines remain bounded, but the dollar limit
cannot cap unknown cost.
- Account identity exceptions apply only to known private Codex runtime
files. Token reuse, unknown files and model-visible rollout content
remain blocking findings.
- Deterministic checks establish saved state, output structure, required
brief facts and access. They do not score all prose quality. Initial
samples also require human inspection.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, browser and
repository tools. The precise model revision and context window are not
exposed to this session. Live eval agents used `gpt-5.6-sol`; that is
the evaluated model, not a claim about the authoring model.

# yaml-language-server: $schema=./catalog.schema.json
# Planning scenarios; not registered executions or evidence of a pass.
schema_version: 1
feature: cli-operations
status: planned
scenarios:
- id: cli-operations.choose-cli-context
capabilities:
- cli-operations/context
context: >-
The person has two configured CLI profiles and asks for guidance; the chat agent has no
authority over arbitrary operator credential files.
query: >-
Show me how to point my terminal at the Acorn company.
expected_outcome: >-
The agent provides the supported context/profile command shape for the intended API base
and company, using existing documentation or CLI help. It avoids printing credentials or
silently changing the operator's other profiles. A readback of selected identity and
company confirms context before future writes.
- id: cli-operations.create-from-cli
capabilities:
- cli-operations/domain-commands
- tasks/create
context: >-
The person explicitly wants a terminal command for a synthetic task, and their intended
CLI actor has task creation permission.
query: >-
Give me the CLI command to create a website task for Morgan in Launch.
expected_outcome: >-
The answer uses actual supported command flags and explicit company context, with
placeholders only for unresolved IDs. Running the command in the later journey creates one
task with the requested project and assignee. A plausible invented flag or command that
operates on a default wrong company fails the scenario.
- id: cli-operations.export-document-cli
capabilities:
- cli-operations/outputs
- documents-artifacts/documents
context: >-
An authorized task has a saved plan document; an owned local destination is available for
the later CLI journey.
query: >-
Download this task's plan from the terminal as a file.
expected_outcome: >-
The agent gives or uses the supported authorized document-output path in the declared
owned environment. The saved bytes match the chosen document revision and the command's
structured result is inspectable. Secret values and unrelated task content are excluded;
writing a chat summary is not the requested download.
- id: cli-operations.inspect-run-cli
capabilities:
- cli-operations/run-controls
- runs-adapters/runs
context: >-
The person requests CLI guidance for a visible run; force invocation and cancellation
retain board-only boundaries.
query: >-
Show me the command to inspect Morgan's last run and stop it if it is still running.
expected_outcome: >-
The response distinguishes the permitted read command from the authorized control path and
explains the required actor. The later journey verifies the exact run before any stop. It
does not equate an agent bearer with board invocation authority or claim cancellation from
a stale status lookup.
- id: cli-operations.owned-dev-instance
capabilities:
- cli-operations/worktree-instances
- instance-operations/diagnostics
context: >-
This is an operator companion journey in an explicitly owned disposable checkout; no
production instance is targeted.
query: >-
Set up a throwaway Paperclip instance for testing this chat flow.
expected_outcome: >-
The supported development-instance commands create and seed only the owned target and
report its URL and health. Cleanup identifies that exact instance and preserves unrelated
services and data. Chat does not treat a company-agent grant as permission to change
arbitrary host installations.
- id: cli-operations.feedback-bundle
capabilities:
- cli-operations/feedback-export
- activity/agent-commentary
context: >-
A human with company report access requests a local export into an owned directory;
ordinary agent access is insufficient.
query: >-
Export the feedback and traces for this test so I can review them locally.
expected_outcome: >-
The authorized operator export produces an inspectable local bundle with the requested
report scope and retained failure evidence. The response identifies its location and
contents without changing remote sharing or publishing private traces. Agent chat explains
the required human identity instead of bypassing report authorization.
