DottaandPaperclip 2ee36a4c0a test: add chat feature scenarios and real task workflow evals (#17794)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat lets a person assign work through a conversation.
> - Feature and API maps do not prove that a natural request produces
the right saved result.
> - Product E2E already owns isolated fixtures, browser runs, evidence
and cleanup.
> - This pull request adds a chat scenario catalog and two real task
workflows in that framework.
> - Independent checks verify the task, its author, the saved output and
the reply in chat.
> - The benefit is a small executable foundation for broader chat
coverage.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

It adds real task creation and delegation coverage for Agent Chat.

**Current behavior**

Existing maps describe features and agent access. Existing chat evals
cover specific protocols and handoffs. They do not connect a broad
human-request catalog to independent saved-state checks.

**Proposed behavior**

Keep 244 planned scenarios across 35 feature areas. Promote two requests
into the explicit-only `chat-features` suite. One saves a backlog task
without starting work. The other delegates an announcement and returns
the saved result to the original chat.

**Reason and benefit**

A successful tool call or confident reply does not prove the requested
result exists. These evals check public API state, attribution and
browser access after a real model run.

**Breaking changes**

No API or data schema changes. Chat instructions now require actual
relative task links. The local E2E private-state scanner recognizes
Codex account ownership metadata while continuing to reject credentials
and model-visible identity leaks.

**Additional context**

Related prior work: #13969 and #13762. This improves verification of the
existing Agent Chat roadmap item. It does not add a new core product
feature.

## What Changed

- Add YAML scenarios with capability IDs, starting context, user
requests and expected outcomes. Validate all area files against their
schema, global ID uniqueness and exact feature-map capability coverage.
- Add two local native Codex subscription cells. Send the exact catalog
request once through Chromium.
- Seed only prerequisites through public APIs. Use shipped agent
instructions and explicit disposable budget policies for unpriced
subscription usage.
- Check task ownership, creation audit, no premature execution, current
worker-authored output, automatic completion delivery and usable links
after reload.
- Keep private Codex account ownership metadata distinct from bearer
credentials. Scan rollout message content, all tokens and published
evidence as before.
- Teach normal chat instructions to use relative task links instead of
invented hosts. Update tests, maps and the runbook.
- Repair existing E2E contract drift: include the active Copilot
identity in the image digest and update Pi profile expectations. Keep
global catalog cardinality in its owning catalog test.

Product E2E owns the new flow and grader. Its existing launch and report
paths remain in use. The shared scanner change is limited to
owner-private temporary Codex runtime metadata. Other callers retain the
full secret scan. No UI, endpoint, schema or permission behavior
changes.

## Verification

- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passed: 35 areas and 191 capability IDs.
- Product E2E typecheck and focused tests passed before rebase: 225
Vitest tests and 137 Node tests. Conversation service tests passed
40/40. Five existing runner turn-binding regressions passed.
- Historical live measurement used real Chromium, server, database and
native Codex with no automatic retries. The initial same-definition
batch passed 5/6 cells. Backlog passed 3/3; delegation passed 2/3. One
CEO startup failed because the runner did not receive a provider turn
identity. The cause is unresolved.
- An unchanged follow-up passed delegation three times and backlog
twice. Combined evidence is backlog 5/5 and delegation 5/6. Each attempt
passed cleanup. Later passes do not erase the earlier failure or prove a
runner repair.
- Earlier failed revisions exposed an invented task hostname, private
account metadata false positives and missing funding for unpriced
subscription usage. Those led to the specific changes above; the failed
records remain retained locally.
- The runbook records campaign identifiers and definition provenance.
Generated result artifacts are not committed. Historical live results
predate this branch rebase; fresh PR-source live evidence and final
validation are recorded below.
- Full workspace typecheck and production build passed on the rebased
branch. Product E2E typecheck passed.
- The full Product E2E support suite first reproduced four baseline
failures: two missing active Copilot image-identity inputs and two stale
Pi/catalog expectations. The narrow contract fixes above resolved them.
The full rerun passed 4,282 Vitest tests plus 137 Node tests, with two
skipped. Image checks verify mutation changes the hash, unchanged input
stays stable, and an input closure without Copilot is unaffected.
Original failed logs remain retained.
- The repo-wide local Vitest run has reported two failures in unchanged
service files. The Workspace connection test passed an isolated recheck
and its full file passed 469/469 unchanged. The recovery test hit a
15-second timeout; its full file passed 89/89 unchanged. The run later
hit explicit PostgreSQL `semget` resource exhaustion and was interrupted
after those observed failures; no final aggregate counts or full local
pass are claimed. Its complete available log is retained. No assertion
or timeout was weakened. Matching remote server CI passed on the same
source.
- On clean PR head `39ad80b523ce194c90aafafd077d48dd9a36b4c5`, backlog
passed in `local-2026-10-26T19-24-13-014Z`. The parallel delegation
fixture failed during PostgreSQL initdb, before browser or model
execution; its failed cleanup grade is retained. A disposable standalone
initdb probe then passed. No semaphore sets or kernel settings were
changed before that probe/recheck. After confirming no remaining fixture
process, its private temporary files were removed.
- One separate delegation recheck passed in
`local-2026-10-26T19-29-24-800Z`, with one attempt, zero automatic
retries and successful cleanup. Both passing current-source cells use
definition
`3f2c9ba2d03e3dcddde47ddab3b43bc52de977f25e256fceae0a24c9128e204b`. The
earlier bootstrap failure and the historical provider startup failure
remain distinct. These local results omit automatic source-SHA metadata;
the clean checkout SHA is recorded here from the execution session.
- The later broad local run reported `could not create semaphores: No
space left on device`. A bounded cleanup removed 32 current-user
PostgreSQL sets with 17 members, marker 537, a dead recorded creator and
zero waiters. No live process or kernel limit was changed by that
cleanup. The test process group was subsequently stopped; no broad rerun
is planned. This direct later resource failure does not prove the
precise cause of the earlier live initdb failure.
- Review follow-up adds only static catalog validation and documentation
of the existing five-minute journey bound. The executable definition is
unchanged. Focused catalog/oracle tests passed 28/28; no redundant live
run is claimed.
- Final head `30fcb36ac9ae1f0270a589dbfafcec91ca6a03f3` passed all
required and underlying CI checks in [run
40391402347](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40391402347),
including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Greptile and Paperclip Review
both scored this head 5/5, with all review threads resolved. The static
follow-up leaves every executable definition input byte-identical to the
live-tested source at `39ad80b`.

Normal squash auto-merge is enabled. Actual merge is pending eligible
code-owner approval for the owned dependency manifest; no protection is
bypassed.

## Risks

- Live model behavior can vary. One missing turn-start event remains
unexplained; this PR does not claim provider reliability or broad
catalog qualification.
- Subscription costs are unpriced. Explicit fixture funding admits that
usage. Run counts and deadlines remain bounded, but the dollar limit
cannot cap unknown cost.
- Account identity exceptions apply only to known private Codex runtime
files. Token reuse, unknown files and model-visible rollout content
remain blocking findings.
- Deterministic checks establish saved state, output structure, required
brief facts and access. They do not score all prose quality. Initial
samples also require human inspection.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, browser and
repository tools. The precise model revision and context window are not
exposed to this session. Live eval agents used `gpt-5.6-sol`; that is
the evaluated model, not a claim about the authoring model.

# yaml-language-server: $schema=./catalog.schema.json
# Planning scenarios; not registered executions or evidence of a pass.
schema_version: 1
feature: assistant-connections
status: planned
scenarios:
- id: assistant-connections.connect-external-assistant
capabilities:
- assistant-connections/setup
context: >-
Public MCP is enabled at a configured origin; the person asks their Paperclip CEO how to
connect an external assistant.
query: >-
How do I connect ChatGPT to this company?
expected_outcome: >-
The agent points to the supported assistant setup instructions and human connection
surface for the intended company. It does not invent an endpoint, token or
installed-client state. The actual signed-in person completes setup; a copied company hint
alone does not grant membership or scopes.
- id: assistant-connections.consent-read-only
capabilities:
- assistant-connections/consent
context: >-
A synthetic external client requests read and write scopes, while the signed-in person has
only viewer authority.
query: >-
Connect my assistant so it can see our tasks.
expected_outcome: >-
The consent flow shows the intended company and requested access and permits only scopes
within the person's authority and explicit acceptance. The resulting client can read
allowed tasks but cannot create or modify them. An agent never approves the human consent
screen on the person's behalf.
- id: assistant-connections.decline-consent
capabilities:
- assistant-connections/consent
context: >-
The external client is waiting for authorization and the person declines at the consent
screen.
query: >-
I do not want to connect that assistant.
expected_outcome: >-
The authorization remains denied and the client receives no usable grant. The person
returns to a clear state without duplicate consent prompts or a claimed successful
connection. Existing unrelated assistant grants are not revoked by declining this one.
- id: assistant-connections.device-login
capabilities:
- assistant-connections/device-login
context: >-
A supported CLI client initiated device authorization against a compatible configured
issuer and resource; the human has not entered the code.
query: >-
Help me finish connecting this CLI to Paperclip.
expected_outcome: >-
The person uses the exact supported verification page and current code, sees the company
and scope decision, and completes authorization as themselves. The waiting client accepts
credentials only for the verified company. Expired, reused or mismatched codes fail
clearly without agent self-consent or reused credentials from another identity.
- id: assistant-connections.use-scoped-client
capabilities:
- assistant-connections/client-use
- tasks/create
context: >-
This scenario changes the surface to an authorized external assistant client with a grant
for only Acorn company and task creation.
query: >-
Create a website task for Morgan in Acorn.
expected_outcome: >-
The external assistant uses the granted Paperclip capability to create one task in Acorn
under the person's current permissions and returns its real link. The grant cannot be used
as a general REST board bearer or target another company. This is a companion
external-client scenario, not evidence that Agent Chat has inherited its credentials.
- id: assistant-connections.revoke-personal-grant
capabilities:
- assistant-connections/revocation
context: >-
The person has two assistant grants; the first already delegated an active task.
Revocation management requires their signed-in browser identity.
query: >-
Disconnect my old assistant, but leave the website task running.
expected_outcome: >-
The supported personal grant control revokes the selected client access and subsequent
calls fail. The unrelated grant remains usable and the delegated task retains its ordinary
lifecycle. Chat does not report that revocation cancels already-authorized work or use
agent identity to manage another person's grants.
