## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Operators inspect agent configuration to understand which credentials an agent can use. > - Agent environment bindings can contain inline values, company secret references, and user secret references. > - The Secrets page did not mount the environment editor. Inline credentials were absent, and its empty message said no secrets were bound. > - The existing environment editor already handles these binding types and redacted values. > - This PR mounts that editor on the Secrets page in both UI layouts and clarifies the empty reference message. > - Operators can inspect and edit the configured bindings. Values remain masked, and the Runtime editor remains available. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What happened?** An agent can receive an inline credential through its environment while its Secrets page shows no matching entry. That page only rendered the secret-reference overview and API access controls. **Expected behavior** The agent Secrets page shows existing environment bindings as well as secret references. Saved inline values stay redacted. Saving another binding preserves existing credentials. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Save an agent with an inline environment credential. 2. Open the agent Secrets page. 3. The credential row is missing, although the runtime configuration contains it. **Paperclip version or commit** Reproduced on master `27270e9bf8b7a294cf03f8b84f4857f1b1ff05c7` before the fix. Related: [#12517](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12517) proposes changes to secret assignment controls. This PR covers display of existing inline environment bindings through the current editor. ## What Changed - Show the environment editor on agent Secrets pages in both UI layouts. Keep the Runtime editor available. - Change the empty overview message to describe missing company secret references. Personal references remain visible in the environment editor. - Add native and legacy agent regressions through the actual page components. - Add a browser check for masked values, secret references, save/reload, and exact credential preservation through an opaque configuration revision. - Update the feature and agent access maps for the existing UI entry point. ## Verification - Red before the fix: the native and legacy page regressions could not find the saved environment credential row. - The focused UI suites pass: 207 tests, including all four layout/adapter page cases. - The server redaction and configuration revision suites pass: 42 tests. Native Runner environment assembly suites pass: 40 tests. - An isolated Chromium flow passes against the real local API and database. It checks a masked inline value, a company secret reference, and save/reload of an added variable. It then removes the new variable and checks that the opaque server revision matches its original value. This proves that the hidden credentials survive both saves without reading them. The initial browser attempt exposed a fixture ordering assumption; the test now compares variable-name sets because PostgreSQL JSONB does not retain insertion order. - `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, `pnpm check:token-gates`, and `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` pass. - The full local `pnpm test:run` attempt found three failures in unchanged server fixtures. The chat-recovery case passes in isolation and in its 22-test group. The two workspace cases inherit `init.defaultBranch=main`; all 179 workspace tests pass when the child process uses `init.defaultBranch=master`, as the fixtures expect. The long local invocation was then stopped. Later local groups were not reached. All corresponding CI test shards pass. - [CI passes on the final commit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40809064907). The first canary dry run found an npm version collision. Its single retry passed without a source change. - Apex passes at 5/5 on the current commit with no unresolved findings. ## Risks Low risk. The change reuses the existing editor and save path. No API, secret delivery, permission, or database contract changes. The tests cover masked values and existing references during save/reload. ## Model Used OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with tool use and code execution. The session does not expose a more specific model ID or context-window size. ## 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 — scoped checks pass; the full local command limits are recorded above - [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 - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] 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 feature map
Start here when reproducing a user-facing bug, verifying a change, or deciding which surfaces a fix must cover. Each recipe describes what a person can do, where they can do it, the expected result, and the evidence needed to verify it. Product behavior is still governed by the implementation spec.
The sibling agent access map records APIs, agent entry points and permission boundaries for the same capability IDs. Follow the shared map contract when maintaining either map.
The chat scenario catalog describes how people might request these capabilities in conversation, including setup and permission branches. These are planned Product E2E journeys, not live coverage results.
IDs and references
Use the existing IDs in issues, PRs, Storybook annotations, tests, and verification evidence:
| Reference | Example | Defined by |
|---|---|---|
| Feature ID | onboarding |
The recipe filename without .md. |
| Capability ID | onboarding/company |
The feature ID plus a key from its Sub-features list, separated by /. |
| Entry-point reference | onboarding.md#web-wizard | The recipe filename plus its entry-point heading. The local entry-point ID is web-wizard. |
For example, report verifying onboarding/company through web-wizard.
Capabilities describe behavior; entry points identify the surface used to exercise
it. Entry-point IDs are separate from generated capability IDs. Both maps and
Storybook use the same full capability IDs. Each child page states its feature
ID; recipe bullets show the full capability ID beside the local key, and access
companions show it beneath the local heading. Local keys remain unchanged for
parsing and existing anchors.
Keep recipe filenames, sub-feature keys, and entry-point keys stable when changing display titles or navigation. Renaming a filename or key changes its references. The section headings below are navigation labels, not additional IDs.

Open the published Storybook guide for the assembled feature and capability index. The Markdown recipes in this directory are the authored source. Each has a same-named agent-access companion.
Run node scripts/storybook-catalog.mjs to generate local navigation in
maps/generated/feature-map.md, maps/generated/agent-access-map.md, and the
Storybook guide. Recipes are discovered automatically from their navigation
metadata; generation does not depend on this high-level index.
Before driving a journey
- Use this checkout's isolated test drive for manual product checks. It creates a temporary instance and prints its URL and data directory. Do not guess that a server on port 3100 belongs to you.
- Record the commit, URL, company, login role, relevant experimental settings, adapter, runtime mode, and live versus simulated dependencies. Use disposable tasks and provider resources. A fresh test drive creates a company and CEO, but no task or first run.
- Use the current navigation and company prefix. Paths in recipes omit that prefix. Record whether the streamlined or production shell is selected; Agent Chat, chat connectors, and the combined Inbox/Tasks view have separate gates. A hidden surface is an unmet prerequisite, not a successful test.
- Run the smallest relevant test first. Vitest commands below run from the repository root after installing dependencies. Playwright recipes use their named configuration and its isolated environment, not an unrelated running instance. Reserve expensive runner/provider tests for the behavior at issue.
- Exercise the actual user action, inspect its result, reload, and verify the persisted state or continuation. Use read-only API checks to corroborate UI evidence; creating state through the API does not prove the creation UI.
For agent-driven acceptance work, start with the Paperclip verification skill for an isolated launch, ownership/readiness checks, browser driving, evidence, and cleanup. It uses this directory as its feature map. The existing dev-workspace run/verify skill and evaluation skill describe runtime ownership and evidence handling. Reuse them; this map introduces no environment launcher, credentials, scheduled job, or second test framework.
Evidence contract
Report each entry point as passed, failed, blocked (with its missing
prerequisite), or not run. Include the feature ID, full capability IDs and
entry-point ID (for example, onboarding/company through web-wizard), plus the
recipe link, commit/environment, user action, expected and observed result,
command/exit code, and evidence links. Screenshots or traces should show both the
action and the discriminating result. Include task/run/request IDs when relevant,
without secrets.
A fix is verified across its affected surfaces only when each has evidence or an explicit reason it does not apply. Shared code alone does not prove parity. Keep product regressions visible; do not change the recipe to bless a failure. For Paperclip-assigned work, attach evidence through the artifact workflow.
Inventory and remaining depth
The generated maps/generated/coverage.json lists the current non-test TSX page
modules and the recipes that directly reference each one. An unreferenced module
is a documentation candidate, not proof that its feature is absent or untested.
Remaining workflow limits live in each recipe. Inventory and example associations
describe documentation scope, not runtime health.
Maintaining the reference
The map documents user journeys. It does not execute them automatically; generated inventories record documentation scope rather than live test health. Product E2E reports reuse these capability IDs through the journey associations. Their coverage view shows which scenarios in a campaign are linked to each capability and the associated test results. An association or passing scenario does not certify the whole capability; unselected and unmapped journeys remain distinct.
When maintaining a recipe, compare its entry points and expected results with
the current source. Check that linked tests still exercise the stated behavior
and that local references still exist. Keep the same-named agent access companion
and stable sub-feature IDs aligned when behavior or access changes. Source-only
access inventory remains distinct from live verification. Run
node scripts/check-maps.mjs after map edits for structural/reference checks;
follow the shared contract for the source and behavioral checks it cannot perform.
Each recipe starts with a small frontmatter navigation record, then an H1:
---
navigation: {"section":"Tasks and conversations","sectionOrder":20,"order":10}
---
The H1 supplies the feature title, and the first paragraph supplies its summary. Orders are local to the section; leave gaps for additions. Equal orders use the stable filename as a tie-breaker. Keep a section's name/order consistent across its recipes. Discovery uses the recipe and companion; keep the readable ID index above aligned when features or capability IDs change.
Optional ### Storybook verification guidance lives inside the recipe's Gotchas
section. Each level-four heading contains a backtick-quoted capability key and
has Scope (ui, cli, or browser),
Storybook, Production, and Sources fields. These are verification instructions
and intentional scope limits, not run results or a required story for every API.
The generated gap report combines this guidance with current story associations.
After frontmatter, each recipe starts with an H1 and a user-visible description, then exactly:
- Sub-features — stable backticked local keys, full capability IDs, and observable behavior/states,
such as
- `company`: `onboarding/company` — create a company. - How to get to it (user POV) — one H3 backticked entry-point ID per surface.
- Driving it with — starts with
Preconditions:; repeat each entry-point H3, withAutomated:andManual:paragraphs. Name test scope and gaps honestly. - Gotchas — misleading look-alikes, feature gates, and invalid evidence.
New or updated entries follow
Poteto's feature-map examples.
Existing entries with a Driving it heading can adopt the named harness when
their recipes are updated. The original format was inspired by
Omnigent's feature map.
Paperclip's recipes and checks follow its own task model and test infrastructure.
