## Thinking Path > - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work. > - Task documents keep versioned work beside each conversation. > - The default chat interface could read general documents but hid their editor. > - People also need unfinished edits to survive a tab switch or reload. > - This pull request restores the shared editor in Artifacts. > - A portable browser journey checks exact saved content and revision history. > - The benefit is a usable document flow with independent deployment checks. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** A person using the default task interface could read a general task document but could not create or edit one. The existing editor was available in Classic mode. A pending create could also leave newer text as a new form after its editor unmounted, causing a conflict against the person's own successful creation. **Expected behavior** A person can create and edit general documents through Artifacts. Titles, bodies and revision history persist after reopening and reloading the task. Unfinished text survives tab switches. A successful create makes retained newer text an edit of that confirmed revision. Later writes from another actor still cause a conflict. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Open an ordinary task in the default chat interface, then open Artifacts. 2. Try to create a general document. The previous interface has no authoring control. 3. With authoring restored, submit a new document, keep typing, and switch to Properties before the request finishes. 4. Reopen Artifacts. The previous draft path restores a new form despite the successful create. Related public work: #17598 adds document copy/download and #18157 adds image galleries. The selected actual merged parent is `f1d780838218f975064f38333946805e0ec103a5` from #18427. It includes the stable profile-entry ordering repair and the exact recovery-fixture prerequisite. The resulting PR diff contains 32 document and reporting files. ## What Changed - Reuse `IssueDocumentsSection` for general documents in default-chat Artifacts. Keep Classic authoring in its existing task body. Ordinary tasks, conversations and Coordinator mode share the same editor options and signed-in permission wrapper. - Preserve Plans, file-review documents, attachments, uploads and work products. Hide duplicate general-document cards. Use the same general-document key rules for visible rows, validation and refused writes. - Forward image uploads, mentions, references, author maps and feedback to both editor mounts. Keep empty mention/project values stable while queries load. - Back up unfinished forms within their signed-in account, task and editor scope. Preserve text entered before its key. Record a successful create on its matching retained newer buffer, including after unmount or an early reopen. Preserve newer title/body edits, real remote conflicts and matching cancellation cleanup. - Add the model-free `task-document-persistence` journey. Setup creates only an owned empty backlog task. The browser creates and edits the document; normal APIs independently check company, task, actor, exact content and both revision records. - Reopen the owned task through the explicit Backlog view, then reload it. Require exact UI readback and zero native runs. Add only the Doc registration, definition-hash inputs, report mapping and four closed checks to the shared harness. - Count explicit zero-run browser receipts after private journey metadata is removed for publication. Preserve missing billing evidence, positive usage and native/protocol accounting. - Update browser assertions for the restored inline editor while retaining exact download bytes, revision collisions, paused-state and no-run checks. Update the feature map, usage docs and shared editor stories. ## Verification - Latest focused checks use official Node 24.22.2: 568 journey, catalog, report, billing and attempt-accounting tests across 25 suites pass. All four admitted journeys remain registered. The seven relevant UI suites pass 529 tests, including the task-page container after the parent merge. Maps, token gates, the PR-scope diff check and the owned credential-pattern scan pass. The normal QA import preflight also passes with an empty environment and network access blocked. - Billing regression: before the repair, the explicit empty public receipt counted one run, and two positive-usage receipts were discarded by browser metadata. Those three cases fail before and pass after the repair. Two additional red regressions cover aggregate usage beside an empty run list. That ambiguous shape now keeps an unavailable receipt and a minimum count of one. Missing receipts retain unavailable billing, and native/protocol one-or-more run totals retain their measurements. - The previous fresh CI run failed its unchanged snapshot-only recovery fixture: one global sweep did not call its callback. The original failure remains recorded. An isolated PGlite probe with all canonical migrations exercises the real reconciler: it processes two earlier sources, then reaches the owned third source on the next sweep. It preserves source evidence, files and run IDs. This proves bounded pagination, not full native snapshot repair. - Local native recovery tests could not start PostgreSQL because the host semaphore limit was reached. That run executed zero cases. Canonical Linux CI later passed all 143 fixture cases, including the original snapshot-only case and the new competing-candidate control. The exact fixture repair is now inherited from #18427 and is absent from this PR diff. - The portable oracle rejects 19 stale, missing, foreign or incorrect outcomes. Result validation also rejects model/provider metadata and native runs for this case. - Five real Artifacts-to-Properties unmount regressions fail before the repair and pass after it. They cover both editor modes, reopening before and after completion, later typing, and a foreign revision that must still conflict. The edit-storage failure case also checks that Cancel clears the promoted fallback copy. - UI coverage includes default chat, Classic, conversations, Coordinator, Plan rendering, document-card deduplication, reserved keys, pending-query stability, permissions and rich editor options. - Earlier real browser checks passed five upload cases and two artifact-arrival cases. They retain exact CSV bytes, original/revised content, collision, paused-state and no-run assertions. Current-head normal CI runs the updated browser suites again. - The branch merges only the selected actual parent `f1d780838218f975064f38333946805e0ec103a5`. The merge has no conflicts or manual resolution. The SQL service and recovery fixture match that parent exactly. The own document editor, persistence flow, saved-state oracle and billing repair retain their previously qualified source blobs. Follow-up, clarification, question/resumption, screenshot helpers and the Steering map are byte-identical to the merged parent. Existing project/search/question/follow-up registrations remain present. - Required document source blobs remain exact: Doc UI `22e80663b053363e5f75e1432dd9043dc0e70243`, its unmount tests `16f3f4ed0dc9b11aaff129e06e6cf2bbf4522713`, readiness helper `800a747284db19b8484650b6759e8bd1f356839d`, and budget service `3a15d489f0aa55c22e8f7fe6a6bc6a0e14e5914e`. - Local typing is limited by borrowed declarations from another checkout. They omit current `skill_test` and sandbox creation-operation fields. No dependency declarations or repository config were changed. The authoritative clean CI Typecheck + Release Registry gate passes on exact head `2ffce29827ae170420d740940c1c069c7225a74c`. - Full monorepo typecheck, tests and build were not run locally. Borrowed build declarations from another checkout limit local typing. Authoritative [clean CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41171717008) passes on exact head `82d15946c5844d3ae41c6ade62fa224053f20a9a`: 55 successful checks, 3 skipped and 1 neutral, with zero pending or failed checks. Typecheck, build, Runner, server and browser lanes pass. Greptile gives that same head a fresh 5/5. All 15 review threads are resolved, with no further thread page. The PR is mergeable and clean. - Failure history remains recorded. The earlier recovery failure was repaired with a bounded, owned-source fixture. A later CI worker shut down after 2,375 Runner unit tests passed. Its one authorized narrow retry passed those tests and all five native integration suites. The separate AgentConfig browser failure was reproduced and fixed by the merged #18427 parent. These earlier passes do not replace current-head CI. - Final-source live qualification passed on exact harness and served application `82d15946c5844d3ae41c6ade62fa224053f20a9a`. QA run `41177696858` completed all four closed checks and all five phases with zero native runs. Cleanup passed; the durable manifest is complete with no pending evidence. The coordinator verified the original grade and manifest. - The [public qualification report](https://pages.paperclip.ing/evals-qa-smoke-41177696858-1/) records zero agent runs, empty run IDs and empty run usage. Pricing remains unavailable and billing remains incomplete; the report does not claim measured zero cost. - The earlier harness `36c8d9ddd76d0b7ddb28a9a6c674d9e538f6df88` pass against application `2ffce29827ae170420d740940c1c069c7225a74c` remains historical evidence. It is separate from the final-source measurement above. - The selected parent brings profile-entry ordering, proactive chat, a database migration, Runner updates, and task-page chat/read behavior. Its new task-page container is included in the final application measurement. The coordinator retains the original evidence and owns the primary merge and daily-plan admission. ## Risks Artifacts now mounts the existing shared editor. Its autosave, conflict, revision, annotation and server access contracts remain in place. Tests cover both interface modes, shared scopes, later remote writes and unavailable edit storage. Plans and generated file-review documents keep their existing flows. The PR adds no database schema or API change. The shared billing repair requires explicit captured empty run IDs and an unambiguous usage object containing only an empty run list for public browser-only receipts. Other fields beside an empty list keep conservative unavailable billing. Missing measurements remain unavailable. Contradicting positive usage remains counted. The inherited recovery fixture keeps the production sweep limit and its source, readback and no-agent-work assertions. The live journey must fail when authoring controls or saved outcomes are absent. It must not create the expected document through setup APIs or switch to another interface to pass. Final deployment verification must retain the actual app and harness revisions separately. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with tool use and 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.
