DottaandPaperclip 3bbc2104b6 docs: map missing product and operator capabilities (#16990)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The feature map records product entry points and verification
recipes.
> - The paired agent access map records APIs and permission boundaries
for the same capability IDs.
> - The new index in #16987 made several missing capabilities easier to
find.
> - Those gaps hid existing assistant, privacy, cost, and operator
workflows.
> - This pull request adds 15 capabilities with source references, test
scope, and manual checks.
> - Readers can find these workflows without treating documentation or
structural checks as live proof.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs: #16987. Related map work: #16025 and #16214. A search of related
pull requests found no duplicate of these additions.

**Issue type**

Missing documentation.

**Where is the issue?**

`maps/feature-map/` and `maps/agent-access-map/`.

**What's wrong?**

The maps omit public assistant MCP connections, private task and project
sharing, subscription fees, cost-recording recovery, agent API keys,
keyboard entry points, and several operator CLI workflows.

**Suggested fix**

Add product recipes and matching access records. Show the full
capability IDs in the README index and each page. Keep the existing ID
format and all 175 existing IDs. Exclude AI account pools.

## What Changed

- Add the `assistant-connections` family with setup, consent, device
login, client use, and revocation.
- Add `tasks/privacy`, `projects/privacy`,
`budgets-costs/subscriptions`, and `budgets-costs/accounting-recovery`.
- Add `agents/api-keys`, `agents/managed-agent-setup`, and
`navigation-preferences/command-palette`.
- Add `cli-operations/feedback-export`, `chat-channels/outbound-email`,
and `instance-operations/runtime-setup`.
- Pair all 15 additions with access rules, source evidence, manual
checks, and explicit coverage gaps. Update the visible index to 35
families and 190 capability IDs.
- Add cross-links from existing access, connection setup, search, and
CLI recipes. Do not change the schema or add AI account pools.
- Clarify that the task Share sheet displays direct and inherited
access. Manage inherited access at its ancestor or project source.

## Verification

- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passes: 35 areas and 190 paired
capability IDs, with valid references and contract fields.
- `node --test scripts/check-maps.test.mjs
scripts/storybook-feature-index.test.mjs` passes: 17 tests.
- `node scripts/storybook-feature-index.mjs` and `git diff --check`
pass.
- A comparison with the base confirms all 175 existing IDs remain and
exactly the intended 15 IDs were added. The README index matches the
discovered feature metadata.
- `node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs` cannot run because this checkout
lacks `storybook/internal/csf-tools` and installed workspace
dependencies.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm test:run`, and `pnpm build` were attempted.
All stopped before their task ran: the pnpm 9.15.4 bootstrap could not
fetch and verify its registry packages in this environment.
- Source review covers the documented UI, CLI, routes, services, and
existing tests. No live browser, provider, or authorization journey was
run. New access records remain `baseline`, `source-only`, and `not-run`.
- Greptile and the Paperclip reviewer both rate current commit
`bb8eb797b0a1dc26256faf2f0e57cbe7abc9adcf` 5/5. The inherited-access
review thread is resolved.
- [GitHub
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39466772379)
passes for that commit, including typecheck, build, unit tests, Runner
checks, and browser tests. Browser shard 7 passed after one retry for a
runner shutdown. All PR checks are successful, neutral, or skipped.

## Risks

- Low runtime risk: this change only edits maps. No application
behavior, API, dependency, or schema changes.
- Source-reviewed recipes can drift or miss deployment-specific
behavior. The records state their limits and require live checks before
a capability is marked verified.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, model ID `gpt-6.1-sol`, 475,000-token context window,
xhigh reasoning effort, with tool use and code execution.

Raw Blame History

Navigation, profile, and announcements — agent access

Product map: Navigation, profile, and announcements.

Feature ID: navigation-preferences.

Review date: 2026-10-12. Source commit: f981fa3cc10cb8663a87dec60345fbff46d54d0a.

This is a source-reviewed baseline of representative operations and known gaps. Each capability needs operation-level review before its entire scope can be qualified. No live agent execution is claimed. Follow the map contract for format, permission checks, evidence and maintenance.

navigation

Capability ID: navigation-preferences/navigation.

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • GET /api/companies/{companyId}/projects.
  • GET /api/companies/{companyId}/resource-memberships/me.

Agent access: partial — Resource APIs plus user-specific stars; browser-local recents.

Policy: Persisted user preferences require board user context; resource reads still apply company visibility.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — exercise a listed permitted operation with actual agent credentials/run context; inspect its result and applicable persistence/attribution. Assert the relevant denied actor, owner, company or mode from Policy. Review the remaining operations before qualifying the whole capability.

Gaps: Underlying resources have APIs; recents are client-local, and personal starring needs its own identity policy.

preferences

Capability ID: navigation-preferences/preferences.

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • GET /api/sidebar-preferences/me.
  • PUT /api/sidebar-preferences/me.

Agent access: restricted — Board-user preference API; browser section collapse.

Policy: Persisted user preferences require board user context; resource reads still apply company visibility.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — assert the documented agent denial with an owned test fixture; verify any listed agent request/result path separately. A delegated operation needs its own policy and access review.

Gaps: Catalog metadata says board_or_agent, but requireBoardUserId rejects agents. Collapse is in-memory; global collapse is disabled.

profile

Capability ID: navigation-preferences/profile.

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • GET /api/companies/{companyId}/users/{userSlug}/profile.
  • PATCH /api/auth/profile.

Agent access: partial — Agent can read eligible company profile; changing personal identity requires board user.

Policy: Persisted user preferences require board user context; resource reads still apply company visibility.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — exercise a listed permitted operation with actual agent credentials/run context; inspect its result and applicable persistence/attribution. Assert the relevant denied actor, owner, company or mode from Policy. Review the remaining operations before qualifying the whole capability.

Gaps: Reading another visible user's profile and editing a person's identity are distinct permission paths.

announcements

Capability ID: navigation-preferences/announcements.

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • GET /api/announcements/current.
  • POST /api/announcements/{id}/dismiss.

Agent access: restricted — Board-user announcement API.

Policy: Persisted user preferences require board user context; resource reads still apply company visibility.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — assert the documented agent denial with an owned test fixture; verify any listed agent request/result path separately. A delegated operation needs its own policy and access review.

Gaps: User-specific instance-wide dismissal has no agent delegation path today.

fallbacks

Capability ID: navigation-preferences/fallbacks.

Review: baseline.

API: present — representative operation IDs:

  • GET /api/issues/{id}.
  • GET /api/projects/{id}.

Agent access: partial — API not-found/access semantics; browser router redirects.

Policy: Persisted user preferences require board user context; resource reads still apply company visibility.

Evidence: source-only — implementation at the reviewed commit above.

Verification: not-run — use the product recipe for the local/developer surface. Verify listed shared-resource reads separately; local presentation alone is not agent API evidence.

Gaps: Record lookup exists. Route redirects/fallback presentation do not need a separate domain API.

command-palette

Capability ID: navigation-preferences/command-palette.

Review: baseline.

API: present — GET /api/companies/{companyId}/issues for quick task matches; GET /api/companies/{companyId}/projects, GET /api/companies/{companyId}/agents, and GET /api/companies/{companyId}/labels for context; GET /api/companies/{companyId}/search for full search. Opening the palette or handling a keyboard shortcut is browser presentation, not a new mutation API.

Agent access: partial — actual resource/search reads use REST or admitted native search_tasks/call_api with their actor-specific fields and scope. Palette open state, focus, and key chords are browser-only; they do not require an agent keyboard API.

Policy: Underlying company/task/project read authorization and private-result filters apply. Full search requires company_scope:read; a human-only filter such as assigneeUserId=me is not valid board identity for an agent. A local create/navigation action still uses the destination feature’s normal permissions. Keyboard handling respects focused inputs and modal ownership.

Evidence: source-only — reviewed at 9ef434fe79c57d976b8b03b14c5242db270b8320. Command palette, shortcut hook, query parser, and search routes.

Verification: not-run — Drive palette and shortcut entry points in the browser, preserve filter/query intent into full search, and check denied private/foreign results. Separately call the read/search path with the actual permitted agent and reject unsupported human-only filters; a board palette result is not agent authorization evidence.

Gaps: The map records transient palette state, not a promise that its open state or draft input survives reload. Every shell, keyboard layout, file-viewer gate, and creation action is not qualified by one palette test.
