## Thinking Path > - Paperclip lets people assign work to AI agents and inspect the result. > - A task can use repositories from more than one project. > - Remote workspace preparation treated every additional project as a read-only source. > - This rejected valid Git repositories before the provider started, even when no source was read-only. > - The task page then hid the preparation reason behind a generic failed-attempt notice. > - This pull request prepares authorized repositories as writable task copies and shows redacted workspace validation errors. > - People can work across both projects and see the reason if folder preparation fails. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** A remote task with a selected Git-backed project and another mentioned Git-backed project failed before provider execution. It reported `remote_workspace_readonly_sources_unsupported`. Neither project had a read-only setting. The task notice showed only that the attempt failed. **Expected behavior** Each attached repository should be writable inside the task workspace. This should preserve source access checks and saved work. A workspace validation failure should explain its cause on the task page. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Configure remote workspace storage and a native sandbox environment. 2. Select a Git-backed project for a task. 3. Mention another authorized Git-backed project in the task. 4. Start the task. Preparation rejects the additional source before it starts the provider. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced against `dc9f387edc`, before this change. **Deployment mode** Managed remote workspace storage. Local regression checks use disposable PostgreSQL and independent filesystem processes. Related merged work: Refs #18403 and #18504. Those changes established remote storage and metadata-only references. They still reject configured cross-project repositories. No duplicate writable-repository repair was found. Refs #18774 for the test-only retention-fixture repair reused to unblock CI. ## What Changed - Add every configured Git repository of an authorized referenced project to `.paperclip-repositories/` as an editable task copy. - Retain saved paths, refs, pins and files. Recheck retained project access and source trust. Keep explicit read-only, local-source import and remote feature gates. - Keep committed snapshot repository coverage separate from later requests. Honor configured default refs, resolve remote branch names, and publish secondary checkouts only after checkout succeeds. Share configured-ref resolution between root and attached-repository scripts. - Include redacted workspace validation messages in the task interruption projection and existing failure notice. Preserve Retry permissions and render messages as plain text. Explain retained-folder access and trust denials while preserving the dedicated low-trust project-access path. - Add source, authorization, redaction, UI and save/restore regressions. Update the implementation contract and workspace maps. - Reuse the reviewed test-only repair from #18774. Batch the shared-workspace history fixture, verify its complete privacy-source map, and drain owned test bodies before cleanup. Production retention behavior is unchanged. ## Verification - Red before repair: four source-resolution cases failed with the reported read-only error. The task-error projection test also failed because it omitted the cause. - Green: 49 source and transport tests, 16 task projection and redaction tests, and 10 UI tests. The assembled preparation check passes. All 48 remote workspace lifecycle tests pass. The full preparation suite passed all 126 assertions but its cleanup hook exceeded 30 seconds. The unchanged base reproduces the same cleanup timeout with all 126 assertions passing. The focused preparation check finishes cleanly. - The real PostgreSQL/Git lifecycle checks cover both first-turn and later project attachments. They verify the configured release branch, saved edits, replacement allocations, unchanged source folders, committed archive contents, and released writers. - Review regressions were red before repair: the default ref became null, later attachment failed during restore, non-default remote branch checkout failed, and invalid secondary refs left partial checkouts. They now pass. - The local browser shows the workspace validation explanation and Retry action. The fixture uses a saved failed run; this proves the error display, not a successful live sandbox run. - `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass. Map, module-boundary and token checks pass. - A local two-turn acceptance probe repeated at `17ed67eaa7` used real Codex CLI 0.165.0, `gpt-6-astra`, and `xhigh` effort. Codex wrote files in both task repositories. The services saved them, removed the first allocation and its Git sources, restored another allocation, and Codex read the saved files and wrote a follow-up in both folders. This uses the real source resolver and persistence services with a local command-runner stand-in for sandbox transport. It does not qualify Daytona, managed subscription forwarding, or the original task. The first probe waited for stdin; closing the test harness pipe fixed that setup error before provider work. - `pnpm test:run` passed the first chat shard, then failed one chat response concurrency assertion in the second shard. That case passes in isolation on this head. The same isolated chat case passes on the unchanged base. Both corresponding unchanged-base chat shards also pass (351 and 324 tests). The cause of the earlier wider-suite chat failure is not established. The preparation cleanup timeout and chat failure remain part of this record. - CI at `17ed67eaa7`: all other verification jobs passed. Browser shard 6 initially reported a request callback from the preceding test after teardown; its single unchanged-code retry passed. Server shard 10 timed out the 2,100-row retention confirmation fixture at 15 seconds on both attempts. That exact case passes locally, but the repeated CI failure required a repair. Its setup repeatedly rebuilt a shared-workspace privacy map. The logs and failures remain part of this record. - Reused the test-only repair from #18774 without changing its source file. At `ab774e9418`, all 54 retention tests and all 25 ordinary production privacy tests pass locally (79 total). Full CI [41650626903](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41650626903) passed on that commit, and its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. The fixture preserves its 2,100 rows, query-bound assertions, privacy-source map, and completed-history test deadlines. - The additional review identified retained-source access/trust denials that still bypassed the workspace explanation. Real-resolver regressions reproduced both plain-403 failures before the correction. Both now yield a safe workspace validation explanation, while the dedicated low-trust denial and saved workspace remain unchanged. The optional duplicate ref-resolution block is also consolidated. - Final review corrections: 65 source, transport and error-projection tests passed, followed by all 48 lifecycle cases against an owned disposable PostgreSQL database (113 total). The initial combined command skipped the explicitly gated lifecycle suite; the subsequent dedicated invocation enabled and passed all 48. Full workspace typecheck and build pass. The first standalone lifecycle launcher lacked the repository TypeScript loader; rerunning with that loader resolved its import setup error. At previous head `7be02ea09c4ac76df560e8b517050cdf398f33f0`, full CI [41654422329, attempt 2](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41654422329/attempts/2) passed, Greptile is 5/5 on that exact head, and all review threads are resolved. The first attempt timed out the unchanged voice-session report/history case at 15 seconds; 3,027 cases in its shard passed. That exact case passed locally, then its single unchanged-code shard retry passed. The wider-suite timeout cause remains unproven. The completed Paperclip advisory check is neutral; its earlier findings are corrected. No staging deployment or original-task recovery is claimed. - Master advanced while checks ran, producing conflicts in two adjacent test additions. Merged `27d35314be` into this branch as `d5c8d552939c86056abf8fe10833881b2ade41a4`, preserving both workspace-error tests and the audited Stop/receipt tests. Kept workspace maps to minimal corrections under the updated map rule. All 82 source, transport and interruption cases, all 48 real-database save/restore lifecycle cases, full typecheck, build, and map checks pass locally on the combined code. Current-head [CI 41660719214](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41660719214) and Greptile are pending; the earlier verified head has not been merged. ## Risks - Additional remote project repositories are now editable task copies. Shared source folders and upstream push permissions do not change. - Snapshot coverage uses existing workspace metadata. Older workspaces capture their previous inventory at reservation; successful save publication advances coverage and snapshot identity in one transaction. No SQL migration is needed. - A retained copy can contain files from a project that is no longer mentioned. Preparation rechecks that project's current access and trust policy before reuse. - Explicit read-only descriptors still fail. Source-less projects remain metadata-only. Local folders still require import. No migration or provider-pack update is needed. - Error display reads only workspace validation errors. The existing run-secret registry and username censor run before display truncation. A redaction failure omits the explanation. - The retained fixture repair pauses its row trigger only within the isolated seed transaction, rebuilds the exact source map, and restores the trigger before commit. A rollback regression and 25 ordinary privacy cases pass. Its paged-case test budget honors the existing bounded inner waits; production deadlines are unchanged. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, tool use and code execution. The exact serving model ID and context-window size are not exposed by this session. The test-only fixture changes are reused from #18774, whose model record identifies OpenAI GPT-6.1 Sol. The optional live acceptance probe uses `gpt-6-astra` with `xhigh` effort through Codex CLI 0.165.0. ## 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 - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Paperclip agent access map
This map accompanies the feature map. It records APIs, agent entry points, permission boundaries and verification for the same capability IDs. The shared contract defines the format and maintenance rules.
The chat scenario catalog uses these same IDs for human requests and expected outcomes. Its scenarios retain the access boundaries here; neither a CEO role nor a planned scenario grants board authority or establishes a working production tool binding.
Use full capability IDs when referring to access contracts outside their file:
onboarding/company means the company capability in onboarding.md in both maps.
The feature index lists feature and
capability IDs; IDs and references
explains entry-point references and stable naming.
Browse access contracts
The same-named feature recipes define navigation and capability IDs. Run
node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs for the generated
maps/generated/agent-access-map.md index, or browse the
published feature guide.
Add or update the affected companion; there is no central registration or count.
Existing baseline source references describe the original inspection, not current verification. Record new executed evidence in the PR, issue, or CI artifact with its revision and scope. Do not refresh unrelated headers as bookkeeping.
Using an entry
Read its Policy and Gaps before selecting an agent path. Native fallback, legacy
REST/CLI, stdio MCP and a personal assistant connection can have different
authority and availability. Use a real admitted production binding; a scenario
declaration is not an installed tool. A restricted entry records current
enforcement and leaves any unresolved delegation decision visible.
For API catalog disagreements, follow the route/service authorization and record
discovery drift. For not-applicable, retain the concrete exception and local
path. Split shared business operations from client-only presentation.
Use maintain-verification-skill to reconcile changed source and both maps.
Use verify-paperclip and existing API/runner/MCP fixtures to collect the
permitted-agent and denial evidence; report blocked/not-run coverage honestly.
Run node scripts/check-maps.mjs after editing. The structural check does not
certify permissions, API catalog coverage, tool admission or live behavior.
Native REST transport
The call_api parity change reconciles affected baselines against
58e16dbddfc9c8d0cf60867f9d9847f0feda055b and the changes in this PR. Ordinary
REST operations use the same route authorization as legacy agent REST. Dedicated
tools remain optional for those operations; protocol endpoints still need their
existing clients. Board-only routes remain restricted for agent identity.
Native search_api / call_api is enabled by default, but explicit server,
company-allowlist and binding settings can narrow admission. It requires a running
authorized native run, current task assignment and execution-run binding, company
and budget authority, task privacy, and a permitted work mode. Ask and Plan retain
mutation restrictions, and runs retain their admitted JWT scope during restart
recovery even when task mode changes. A waiting
agent does not gain independent native control just because a REST route exists.
Connection-management reads support Standard, Ask and Plan; mutations require
Standard. Skill-test runs and nonstandard task-bridge keys cannot administer
connections. These gates supplement each operation's grants, resolved resource
and target scope, and responsible-user authority. See the
rollout policy
and connection authorization.
Credential-bearing replies, including company exports and their legacy alias, stay inline under a 10 MiB limit and use encrypted mutation receipts. Other saved API snapshots are limited to the issuing actor and responsible user, plus authorized administrators. Artifact uploads enforce the same access checks as downloads; private snapshots are excluded from company exports and public company logos. Explicit deliverables use the existing sharing path. Native event history, checkpoints and completion records omit API bodies while preserving receipt metadata and replay digests. Restored webhook secrets use the same encrypted receipt and inline response policy as newly created webhook secrets. Task image access requires the company boundary and the task permission; skill-test and low-trust agents do not need company-wide browsing authority. Completion replay applies the same idempotent projection to stored and expected payloads; the run-log guide describes its fields.
Sources: API client,
catalog,
native authority,
credential storage classification,
snapshot access,
and history redaction. The affected entries remain
baseline and source-only; this reconciliation does not certify every operation.
Targeted real-route proof lives in the
API integration suite,
including owned routines, skill tests, scoped secrets, proposals and private export replay.
