DottaandPaperclip 3e5a9f5afe perf(ui): load recent tasks with bounded summaries (#16851)
Replace passive recent-task detail reads with bounded, authorized summaries. Keep account isolation, stored history, task actions, and live recovery behavior.

Overlap access checks with shell settings and avoid duplicate session and health reads on the first healthy socket opening. Retain domain reconciliation.

Add focused coverage and local performance evidence. Isolate the existing cache capacity test from entry expiry on slow CI runners.

Task creation and lifecycle — agent access

Product map: Task creation and lifecycle.

Review date: 2026-10-12. Source commit: 58e16dbddfc9c8d0cf60867f9d9847f0feda055b. Native REST transport reconciled in this change; see the shared transport contract.

This is a source-reviewed baseline of representative operations and known gaps. Each capability needs operation-level review before its entire scope can be qualified. No live agent execution is claimed. Follow the map contract for format, permission checks, evidence and maintenance.

create

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • POST /api/companies/{companyId}/issues.

Agent access: available — Native create_task; REST / CLI / MCP.

Policy: Company/task visibility, assignment/change policy, active-run checkout ownership and lifecycle rules. Ordinary Board comments preserve queued/running retries; only a parked retry can be superseded. Explicit Stop/Interrupt retain their existing actor and execution authority. Agent comment tools do not acquire Board identity or cancellation authority through this behavior.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — exercise a listed permitted operation with actual agent credentials/run context; inspect its result and applicable persistence/attribution. Assert the relevant denied actor, owner, company or mode from Policy. Review the remaining operations before qualifying the whole capability.

Gaps: Creation is implemented; agent/user assignment and attachments may need narrower/different APIs.

organize

GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues/summaries?ids=... reads up to five exact UUIDs and returns only navigation summaries. Normal company and task-read permissions apply to ordinary agent REST calls; task-bridge keys are denied. Hidden, missing, foreign and private inaccessible IDs are omitted without an existence disclosure. No dedicated CLI/native tool is added. Embedded database route tests cover same-company agent access and company/task-bridge denials; this does not establish a live native call_api journey.

The issue-list API accepts optional includeAgentCreatedTasks; false restricts independent results to human creation before search/pagination. Omission retains existing agent/API behavior. includeParticipatedTasks=true requires a board user and retains only that authenticated user's existing participation as a creation visibility exception. Company/private-task access checks still apply. Collection preferences and hierarchy presentation are browser state, not additional authority. Source-reviewed behavior; live agent access verification remains separate.

All chat_channel origins count as bot-created for creation visibility, including human-initiated conversations. Existing inbox participation remains independent.

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues.

Agent access: available — Native search_tasks; REST / CLI; UI grouping/navigation state separately.

Policy: Company/task visibility, assignment/change policy, active-run checkout ownership and lifecycle rules.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — exercise a listed permitted operation with actual agent credentials/run context; inspect its result and applicable persistence/attribution. Assert the relevant denied actor, owner, company or mode from Policy. Review the remaining operations before qualifying the whole capability.

Gaps: Search/filter API exists; sorting/grouping/presentation defaults are not necessarily shared server preferences.

properties

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • PATCH /api/issues/{id}.
  • PUT /api/issues/{id}/title.

Agent access: available — Native set_task_title/reassign_task/set_dependencies and call_api for REST-authorized fields; agent REST.

Policy: Company/task visibility, assignment/change policy, active-run checkout ownership and lifecycle rules. A legacy run can assign its own task to a human without cancelling itself only with its signed run token and matching active run, agent, company and task. The outgoing run cannot mutate its human-owned task afterward, including through a late update already admitted before the handoff. Agent keys, native runs, board reassignment and transfers to another agent retain verified-stop requirements.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — exercise a listed permitted operation with actual agent credentials/run context; inspect its result and applicable persistence/attribution. Assert the relevant denied actor, owner, company or mode from Policy. Review the remaining operations before qualifying the whole capability. Focused route regressions in ownership tests cover a human handoff and stop enforcement for other actors, runtimes and targets; they use mocked services and do not claim live execution proof.

Gaps: Dedicated tools differ in scope and fields. Generic call_api forwards status, assignment and dependency fields to existing route authorization.

discussion

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • POST /api/issues/{id}/comments.
  • POST /api/companies/{companyId}/issues/{issueId}/attachments.

Agent access: available — Native report_progress/comment_on_task/register_deliverable; REST / CLI / MCP.

Policy: Company/task visibility, assignment/change policy, active-run checkout ownership and lifecycle rules.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — exercise a listed permitted operation with actual agent credentials/run context; inspect its result and applicable persistence/attribution. Assert the relevant denied actor, owner, company or mode from Policy. Review the remaining operations before qualifying the whole capability.

Gaps: Other-task comments and active-task progress have separate scopes. Generic call_api forwards explicit reopen/resume/interrupt fields to the existing route checks; it cannot impersonate a user.

completion

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • PATCH /api/issues/{id}.

Agent access: available — Native paperclip_finish/paperclip_block through runner protocol; agent REST / native call_api disposition under route permissions.

Policy: Company/task visibility, assignment/change policy, active-run checkout ownership and lifecycle rules.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — exercise a listed permitted operation with actual agent credentials/run context; inspect its result and applicable persistence/attribution. Assert the relevant denied actor, owner, company or mode from Policy. Review the remaining operations before qualifying the whole capability.

Gaps: The server governs whether a reported result becomes done/review/blocked. Generic lifecycle PATCH uses existing REST authorization, checkout and approval rules.
