DottaandPaperclip 4173059081 fix(inbox): keep advisory GitHub review waits quiet (#17318)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Mine shows a person's participation and requests that need their
response.
> - Automatic GitHub reviews should remain quiet until the assigned work
needs human input.
> - Review bots used completion requests to keep tasks in review while
CI or a PR was still open.
> - Those requests correctly entered Mine, despite the automatic-work
filter from #16356.
> - This pull request gives published reviews an existing provider-event
wait in the in-review state and withdraws superseded completion
requests.
> - Real input requests and separate approval gates keep their current
behavior.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16356
Refs #13314

An advisory score below 5/5, pending or failed CI, or an unmerged PR
does not by itself require a person's approval in Paperclip. The bot can
track those conditions without adding a completion card to Mine.

## What Changed

- Explain the quiet review lifecycle in the GitHub review instructions.
Use a yielded provider-event wait, or an existing saved monitor, after
publication. Report done when the configured completion conditions are
met.
- Keep a confirmed, published review in `in_review` during that wait.
Reuse existing authorization and monitor delivery. Add no schema, timer,
or polling loop.
- Recognize the committed external wait in review attention and
recovery. Shared execution receives a verified publication flag; GitHub
receipt lookup stays with the GitHub module. Other chat waits keep their
current status.
- Withdraw an older system-created completion request only when the same
bot has published both reviews and its new report has no attention
request. Keep explicit cards, separate approval gates, and requests
without the prior review evidence. Finish validation stays read-only;
withdrawal commits atomically with the new status after checking current
governance, the admitted result, and both low-risk contracts.
- Update the product rule, capability maps, and regression coverage.

## Verification

- Final commit `7c502118eec36028d1b4537bb8797ef893940bf0`: 54 GitHub
checks passed, two intentionally skipped, none pending or failed.
Greptile is 5/5, the security scan passed, and all review threads are
resolved.

- Passed: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. Rechecked server
typecheck and build after the final authorization guard.
- Passed: 195 tests across `external-chat-wait.integration.test.ts`,
`status-arbiter.test.ts`, `review-instructions.test.ts`, and
`issue-liveness.test.ts`. The database suite used an isolated PostgreSQL
18 container through `PAPERCLIP_TEST_DATABASE_URL`.
- Acceptance coverage: 3/5 stays in review outside Mine; 5/5 with
pending completion conditions stays in review; 5/5 with satisfied
conditions finishes quietly; a real repository-access request enters
Mine until resolved. Also covers obsolete-card withdrawal, transaction
rollback, rejected reports, separate approval gates, multiple reviewed
heads, saved monitors, and revoked endpoints, repositories, or
membership.
- Passed: `node scripts/check-maps.mjs`, `node
scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`, and `git diff --check`.
- The initial acceptance run exposed a missing authenticated user in the
test fixture. Added the user required by the existing addressee
authorization check. All 154 tests in that database suite then passed,
including the final rerun.
- Review found premature withdrawal during validation, stale repository
access, and a missed receipt when a run reviewed multiple heads. The
revision fixes all three and includes acceptance regressions. The
saved-monitor commit guard now accepts the verified published-review
state.
- `pnpm test:run` was attempted but could not complete on this Mac.
Embedded PostgreSQL failed to allocate semaphores (`semget: No space
left on device`); a direct initialization probe confirmed the host
resource limit. The isolated database run proves the affected suite, not
the full repository suite.
- These tests exercise persisted review receipts, finalization, and Mine
queries. They do not prove a live model followed the new instructions or
submit a live GitHub review.

## Risks

- The bot must follow the new lifecycle instructions. A real explicit
attention request still enters Mine.
- Existing obsolete cards are withdrawn when the same bot publishes a
later review and reports no human dependency. This change does not run a
bulk cleanup of historical inbox entries.
- Review attention now recognizes an external response path. It requires
an applied current status decision, a successful bound run, and current
conversation, repository, and principal authorization.
- No migration or UI change. The full local test suite is unverified
because of the host database limit; CI passes on the final commit.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing, and test execution. The exact deployment model ID and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

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.

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 requires operator rollout admission, 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.

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.
