## Thinking Path > - Paperclip lets people inspect and manage their agents’ work. > - The timeline must report canonical ownership history, and OpenCode tool failures need bounded diagnostics. > - The measured candidate also had independently reproduced question-navigation and oracle defects. > - This change promotes the reviewed production fixes and pins one immutable, qualified source composition. > - Original queries, model, counts, clocks, privacy controls and qualification holds remain intact. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #18775, #18777, #18779, #18711, #18713, #18718, #18699, #18798, #18799. **What happened?** The measured candidate predates merged native-runtime fixes and contains fixture defects. The timeline omitted recorded reassignment/removal history. Finish-input errors lacked a closed correlation and shape witness. **Expected behavior:** project recorded ownership transitions without inventing facts, distinguish successful native execution from failed verification steps, and retain content-free finish diagnostics. **Steps to reproduce:** repeat an unchanged assignee while editing another field; then reassign or unassign it. Only recorded transitions should appear. Invalid OpenCode finish input should produce a correlated rejection witness without values or schema text. Related #18699 adds gated company OTLP diagnostics. This change uses the existing local callback; it adds no exporter or capture policy. ## What Changed - Promote canonical timeline creation, reassignment and removal projection from #18777. Initial child ownership requires a recorded fresh-creation receipt; delegation requires a readable recorded parent. Unknown legacy facts fail closed. User actors/owners require active company membership; agent actors/targets must exist in that company. Spans, events and edges share that admission filter. Remove the introduced all-history absence query and use guarded indexed UUID lookups. - Add the shared/OpenAPI `unassigned` event kind, preserving newer main contracts and issue-route/service code through reviewed semantic joins. Existing UI consumers remain generic; no new visual marker is claimed. - Add bounded OpenCode finish diagnostics: schema digest, hashed call identity, closed shape enums and validation category. A throwing sink does not change admission or cancellation. - Pin immutable candidate `fd5e3b1e5a379524c0d1651ed8273e75ffd86541`, composed from combined #18777 source `b734393eff0d7ef85b7ad8abd556d2a66ca3a4e6` plus the reviewed MCP diagnostic delta. It preserves actually merged #18775 `97c07d149b5670088faf15317dcf603c75e2af87` and #18779 `a352c057d475067b4fe67375f06785287dfbe0ce`, and merged runtime fixes #18711, #18713 and #18718. - Qualify narrative handling for adjacent repair/verification sentences, intervening native-failure wording, and negated repair objects. Questions, denials and hypotheticals retain their controls. Preserve Previous question beside the qualified Entity type import; separately restore the already-called `internalResultLink` goal helper binding. That import is a runtime fixture repair, not a type-only change. - Include the narrow older-baseline CI typecheck closure and causal heartbeat test observers in the candidate. All four default typecheck projects execute. Main already includes the protected upstream tooling and newer heartbeat fixture, so neither is overwritten with an older candidate file. - Preserve all 244 identities, original queries, model, native/human counts and clocks, including the explicit prior Studio accounting exception. The full catalog stays on its candidate branch; the 196/244 gate and historical SDK runtime holds remain. ## Verification The primary’s f478 retry repeated the real composer-hidden five-second assertion (1 failure,18 passes,1 skip). Investigation established a setup readiness gap: an outer route response can delay mounting the chat thread beyond the assertion. The successor adds the existing real-thread `aria-busy="false"` readiness barrier before the unchanged composer assertion. The original120-second scenario and digest, unread, source-link, history, and reply checks are unchanged. The full owning browser scenario passed naturally in10.2s and with its first real chat response held6000ms in12.0s. This synchronizes fixture setup; the underlying AWS late-mount latency remains unproved. **Current main gates passed:** exact head `823dab49fcd8470140c178771e5c0c6b78725e97` has [successful normal CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41724620555), including both required aggregates, fresh Greptile 5/5 and zero unresolved review threads. Paperclip Review is neutral with a completed substantive 5/5 and no actionable defect. The current optional Superagent Security Scan is neutral/inconclusive: Security Graph context retrieval returned HTTP503, so its assessment did not start. That result supplies no security PASS credit. The primary source PR retains its separate current-head gate before Root sequences normal protected merges. - Reviewed MCP controls: 130 on main and 129 on the older candidate. Meaningful parent comparisons failed before implementation/correlation correction. Controls cover actual offered schema identity, null/omitted admission, bounded rejection categories and throwing-sink cancellation. - Exact unchanged production postimages retain 63 Postgres/public-route controls, nine plan controls and the focused index-plan proof. Owner OpenAPI passes 32 controls; main’s newer contract passes 33. Earlier setup/sandbox failures remain recorded; unchanged database controls were not replayed. - Narrative owner controls pass 216, retaining all prior 207 controls. The independent peer passes 144 balanced cases; earlier 108 and 39-case matrices remain retained. Actual consumer parent failures reproduced the review findings before repair. - Main’s server NoEmit passed on its protected baseline; only two pin files changed afterward. The candidate’s prior full server and four-project checks passed. All server/package/script/root-lock inputs remain byte-identical; the changed Runner project’s guard passes on the current source. Compatibility driver controls pass 47 and six owning suites pass 82. The one explicitly reviewed Docker-only unit omission concerns an unimported image-build feature; all four intended project guards still execute. - Pin/adapter/contract controls pass 47. All 242 expanded declarations, the two legacy dispatch rows, and all 244 singleton private policies retain their authenticated identities. Descriptor, launcher and private-protocol bytes remain exact; declaration loading invoked zero fixture callbacks. - All 506 SDK input blobs match the meaningfully compiled `6abe5739` source vector. Prior real shared/SDK builds measured declaration/map changes and zero runtime-JavaScript changes; a compiled consumer accepts the new kind and rejects an unknown kind. The reviewed registry remains unchanged. Default source proof, 51 SDK controls, 20 custody controls and 16 UI consumer controls remain qualified; runtime/compiler/parser/Zod/canary pins and held runtime grades are unchanged. - The full Mac heartbeat run on prior observer source retained **58 passes / six failures in 802.78s**. Two nonassignee controls subsequently pass focused checks. Four late timeout causes remain unresolved locally; no flakiness/infrastructure cause or complete local pass is claimed. [Actual AWS CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41712023737/job/126182620050) ran this exact heartbeat file with **64 passes in 107.209s**. Its server/package inputs are unchanged in the current narrative-only successor. The source-identical f478 heartbeat file also passed all64 AWS tests in105.812s; source inputs remain unchanged. Current main ordinary CI passed; the primary source PR must independently close its latest-head ordinary CI gate. - Historical main [run 41713049555](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41713049555) recorded six synchronized runner-shutdown failures and cancellations; the shutdown cause is unknown. A separate chat passive-control assertion observed one `db.transaction` call where zero was expected. Finite local probes passed 2+2 but did not establish a cause or late stack. No external publication, cleanup cause, source fix or flakiness is inferred. The primary’s separate composer-visibility CI failure also remains an inconclusive historical result; no guessed fix is credited. No old-head retry was used. - Earlier UI/inbox fixture failures and the CLI startup timeout remain historical. UI/inbox repairs are now upstream in #18799/#18798 and main preserves those files verbatim. The CLI timeout cause remains unknown. Broader local repository/Rust qualification is not claimed; fresh hosted CI supplies broader coverage. - All four actual repair merges, an exact merged-tree/diagnostic source join, and fresh controller/source/private-policy/active-run guards precede the ten-case TestOps measurement. No paid or model eval was launched for this PR; the original three passes/seven failures remain unchanged. ## Risks The next ten-case model result is unproved. Earlier MCP timeout and continuation-shape causes remain unknown; diagnostics provide future evidence without relaxing validation or rewriting grades. Prior local/CI failures are retained, including the unresolved chat assertion and local heartbeat timeouts. Initial ownership requires canonical in-window audit facts. Missing legacy facts remain unknown. The additive `unassigned` contract is synchronized across shared/OpenAPI/server consumers, with no new UI marker. SDK runtime holds and the broader 196/244 qualification gate remain. Normal protected merges require fresh checks and resolved feedback; no CODEOWNER or branch-protection bypass is authorized here. ## Model Used OpenAI `gpt-6.1-sol` through Codex.

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.
