Nicky LeachandPaperclip 835966dec8 Prepare agent-owned environments during hiring (#17761)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/1/changes/paperclip/1
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents and their execution environments.
> - New agent setup saves an inactive agent before model connection
tests.
> - Some plugins need that agent to prepare its execution resource.
> - The wizard tested without the agent ID, while the setup hold
prevented preparation.
> - Environment changes also discarded the selected model account.
> - This change prepares the saved draft during setup and keeps normal
execution held.
> - Users can test the prepared resource before they finish hiring.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

An agent-owned plugin environment could not acquire a test lease during
hiring. Changing environments also returned the user to Connect and
cleared the selected account.

**Expected behavior**

Keep the selected account, invalidate its test, and prepare the saved
agent resource in the background. Test that same agent before finishing
setup.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a new Claude or Codex agent and select a saved account.
2. Change to an agent-owned plugin environment.
3. Try to finish setup or reconnect the account.

Related: #17750 defers probes until after hire submission. This change
implements preparation during the wizard instead. The related PR search
and ROADMAP review found no other implementation of this setup
preparation path.

## What Changed

- Add the optional `requiresAgent` driver declaration. Require agent
lifecycle participation when it is set.
- Prepare saved drafts on creation or environment changes. Keep the
setup hold and wait in `verifying` without background verification
scans.
- Bind tests to the saved agent. Return a warning without allocating a
lease when the required agent is absent or still preparing.
- Preserve the account and configuration step when the environment
changes. Save the selection and invalidate the old test.
- Show active preparation and support authorized retries. Keep approval,
company, budget, and normal task admission controls.
- Document the contract and cover lifecycle, lease, manifest, and wizard
behavior.

## Verification

- Server and UI TypeScript checks passed.
- 112 wizard and setup helper tests passed. The shared manifest suite
passed.
- 123 lifecycle, policy, lease, and environment-test API cases passed
after the approval-gate fix. The diagnostic and driver suites and all 80
agent adapter route tests also passed.
- Token gates, module boundaries, map validation, and whitespace checks
passed.
- All 66 lifecycle/policy cases passed after the stopping-draft
permission fix. The new real-DB route case verifies creator success,
other-creator denial, and refusal to complete a hire while stopping.
- Full workspace typecheck and build were attempted. Both stop at the
unchanged Rust Runner step because Cargo is not installed on this host.
- CI on 43be3c93d passed all automated checks, including full test
shards, typecheck, build, Rust checks, browser suites, and canary
checks:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40368174530.
- The full local repository test command was started. Two unchanged
workspace tests assume Git's initial branch is master; this host
defaults to main. Both fail in isolation under the host default and pass
with process-scoped init.defaultBranch=master. The broad run was stopped
after those confirmed fixture failures; CI supplies the full clean
check.
- Early new-test failures were fixture collisions and an unscoped sweep
assertion; the fixtures and assertion were corrected. One route-suite
load raced with SDK output regeneration; rebuilding first and running
the suite afterward passed.
- Initial CI exposed a route mock missing the new prerequisite lookup.
The fixture was updated and a real HTTP no-lease case was added; all 54
cases in that route suite pass. Security review identified allocation
before required approval; the new approval gate and its tests address
it.
- CI on 50b5a08af reported 32 of 33 expected calls in the unchanged
cleanup-history scheduling test. Its isolated case passed locally
without cleanup-code changes; the original failure remains recorded and
the final CI run passes on the current head.
- Standard Greptile reviewed 43be3c93d at 5/5. A subsequent deeper
review identified runner selection, stale detail reads, error retention,
and test file size issues; 70343387b addresses all four with resolved
threads. Standard review returned 5/5 on that commit and again on
rebased head fda42c5ab. The rebase preserves master's new managed
environment skill declarations alongside requiresAgent. Full CI on
fda42c5ab passes: 55 successful checks, two intentional skips, no
failures. Run:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40405121641.
- After those fixes, 133 UI tests and 61 lifecycle/policy cases pass;
all eight focused UI regressions fail against the previous
implementation and pass with the fix. Token, map, and whitespace gates
pass. The stale-read fixture initially omitted the setup URL because
navigation is mocked; following the URL activates the real detail query
and reproduces the race.
- UI TypeScript passes. This host's server dependency links now point to
a separate scratch checkout lacking requiresAgent, so the ordinary
server check reports that missing property. A no-emit check pinned to
this branch's shared declarations passes; it disables declaration
generation and supplies explicit local type roots. The first temporary
configuration lacked those type roots; the corrected configuration
passes. CI remains the full workspace verification.
- After rebasing onto 8373d7867, all 133 UI, 61 lifecycle/policy, and 44
manifest cases pass again, as do UI TypeScript, token, map, and
whitespace checks. The server no-emit check now hits three mismatched
SDK/Runner declarations from the scratch dependency links; these are
outside this change. Full CI builds the complete dependency set.
- Review cycle: the first Apex review scored 3/5 with four findings. All
were fixed together, the branch was rebased to resolve a schema
conflict, full CI and standard Greptile passed, and a second Apex review
returned 5/5 on fda42c5ab with zero new comments. All six review threads
are resolved, and the PR is conflict-free. Review:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/17761#issuecomment-6422635718.
- No live provider resource was created and no deployment was performed.

## Risks

Plugins must opt in and ship a compatible declaration. Companies
requiring hire approval keep drafts paused and defer allocation and
verification until approval. Other companies prepare drafts during the
wizard under their existing agent-creation authority; the setup hold
still blocks ordinary work. Preparation uses existing lifecycle
ownership, retry, and cleanup paths. The open wizard polls only while
preparation or stopping is active. No database migration is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, tool use, and code
execution. The exact serving model ID and context window size are not
exposed.

@paperclipai/ui

Published static assets for the Paperclip board UI.

What gets published

The npm package contains the production build under dist/. It does not ship the UI source tree or workspace-only dependencies.

Storybook

Storybook config, stories, and fixtures live under ui/storybook/.

pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui storybook
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook

Typical use

Install the package, then serve or copy the built files from node_modules/@paperclipai/ui/dist.

Editor dependency identity

Keep the root and workspace overrides for @codemirror/state, @codemirror/view, and @lezer/common aligned. CodeMirror requires shared extension identity, while Lezer parsers and syntax highlighters require shared NodeProp IDs. Multiple Lezer copies can crash code-block highlighting with tags is not iterable. src/lib/codemirror-single-instance.test.ts checks the installed dependency graph and highlights sample code through the editor's real language dependencies. GitHub Actions owns regeneration of pnpm-lock.yaml.
