## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Agents ask users to approve proposals and plans with confirmation cards, and users often answer in the conversation > - `resolve-from-comment` lets the responding agent record that verified reply on the card > - Native agents often create their own proposal or plan confirmation as `human_only`, because the `request_human_input` schema offers only that value > - `resolve-from-comment` then refuses with `interaction_human_only`, and the plan and onboarding gates keep the task in `in_review` or `blocked`, although the user explicitly approved > - This pull request adds one narrow relay for that case and keeps every other human-only gate on its card > - The benefit is that an explicit conversational approval works again, and governed, company-capped and quality-review approvals keep their existing controls ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19073 **What happened?** TestOps launch https://paperclip.testops.cloud/launch/2694 (GitHub run https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41915965118) failed three Product regression cases for the same reason: `continuation/revision-preserves-approval`, `first-task/clarify-propose-accept` and `first-task/revise-accept`. In each case the agent created a `request_confirmation` with `resolverPolicy: human_only` (`effectiveResolverPolicySource: requested`). The user replied "I approve…" or "Yes, I accept that proposal". The agent's `resolve-from-comment` call returned 403 `interaction_human_only`. The task stayed `in_review` (plan gate) or became `blocked` (onboarding decision gate). **Expected behavior** When the agent itself asked for a human-only answer, the verified latest reply of the user it serves is that human answer. The agent can record it. Company-capped, governed-action, issue-review and quality-review gates still require the human to use the card. **Steps to reproduce** 1. A native agent calls `request_human_input` with `interactionKind: confirmation` and `resolverPolicy: human_only`. 2. The conversation user posts an explicit approval comment. 3. The agent calls `POST /api/issues/{id}/interactions/{interactionId}/resolve-from-comment`. Before this change it gets 403. ## What Changed - `issue-thread-interaction-resolution.ts`: the agent actor gets an optional `relayedHumanUserId`. A human-only decision is allowed as `allow_relayed_human` only when all of these are true: - the stored policy is `human_only`, its source is `requested` and its provenance is `explicit` - the resolving agent created the card (`createdByAgentId` matches) - no governed action applies - no additional restriction (issue review) applies - any named addressee user is the relayed user Company caps, the `governed_action` source and legacy rows with an unknown source are still denied. - `confirmation-comment-resolution.ts`: the service sets `relayedHumanUserId` only after its existing comment checks pass: user-authored, not agent-attributed, posted after the card, the latest user message, the same conversation session. It also requires that the author is the card's addressee, the conversation user or the run's responsible user, that the card is not a quality review, and that the company's current cap for the kind is not `human_only` (a tied cap keeps the source `requested`). The same actor goes into the locked accept/reject re-check. The activity entry adds `resolverPolicy: "human_only"` and `resolution: "relayed_human_decision"`. - `routes/issues.ts`: the route pre-check passes the candidate comment author. The service still re-verifies everything under its locks. - `issue-thread-interactions.ts`: carries the relay field into the service's own audience re-check. - Docs: the first-task skill and `api-reference.md` describe the narrow relay. The guidance still says not to add `human_only` to ordinary proposals. ## Verification - `server/src/__tests__/confirmation-comment-resolution.test.ts` (embedded Postgres): 72 pass. - Green: relay through a conversation user and through a run's responsible user. The card is `accepted`, `resolvedByAgentId` and `resolvedByRunId` are set, `resolvedByUserId` stays null, and the audit records `relayed_human_decision`. - Negative controls, each with the card still pending and no audit: agent-authored comment, earlier comment, wrong user, unbound issue/run, `company_cap` source, `governed_action` source, `qualityReview`, `toolAction`, `connectionAuthorization`, issue-review `human_only` restriction, another addressed user, human-created card, another agent's card, inherited company default, and a real capped card created through `svc.create` with a tied cap. The tied-cap test fails as expected when the cap is removed. - Existing negative controls are unchanged, including `human_only` without a bound user and the "rechecks narrowed permissions" retry. - Red check: with the three service files reverted to `master`, the two new green tests fail and the negative controls pass. - `server/src/services/issue-thread-interaction-resolution.test.ts`: 21 pass, including the pure evaluator relay rules. - `server/src/services/native-runtime/confirmation-comment-api.integration.test.ts`: 11 pass. The real route accepts the relayed reply and refuses another user's comment with 403. - Also pass: `issue-thread-interaction-routes`, `onboarding-first-task-admission`, `paperclip-runner-tool-authority`, `runner-api`, `onboarding-first-task-assets` and `company-skills-service` (2,474 tests in total). - Changed files typecheck cleanly. - Live verification: Product regression single-case runs of the three cases are pending after merge. ## Risks - This touches an approval gate. The relay is limited to cards whose creator chose `human_only`. All existing reply-evidence checks still apply, plus a bound-user requirement. Company caps, governed actions, quality reviews, issue-review restrictions and named addressees still deny the relay. - Attribution does not change: the resolver is still the agent and run. The human's comment is kept as `result.commentId` and in the audit. - Legacy rows with a null policy source are not relayed. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), via Claude Code with tool use and code execution. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
