## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to manage AI-agent companies. > - Its secrets subsystem can resolve external references such as AWS Secrets Manager values without copying those values into Paperclip custody. > - Operators also need to rotate a referenced secret's value while preserving the same provider reference for consumers inside and outside Paperclip. > - Previously, external-reference rotation could only retarget metadata, and secret detail sheets were driven by local component state rather than shareable navigation state. > - This pull request adds an optional provider write capability, implements AWS Secrets Manager write-through rotation, and exposes capability-aware rotate modes in the UI. > - It also makes secret and each-user definition detail sheets URL-driven and adds a copy-link action. > - The benefit is that operators can update the canonical external value safely while keeping AWS rotation tracking intact, and they can share or navigate directly to secret details. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description ### Subsystem affected Cross-cutting (`server/`, `ui/`, and `packages/shared`). ### Problem or motivation External-reference secrets can follow a provider-managed value, but Paperclip could not write a replacement value back to providers that support it. Operators had to leave Paperclip, update the value separately, and then return without an auditable Paperclip rotation record. Secret detail sheets also could not be shared or restored through browser history because their selection lived only in component state. ### Proposed solution Add an optional `updateExternalSecretValue` provider capability and surface it as `supportsExternalValueWrites`. Implement AWS writes with `PutSecretValue` while leaving the resolution `versionId` unset so future reads continue following `AWSCURRENT`. Add write-value and retarget modes to the rotate dialog for capable providers. Drive secret detail selection from `?secret=` / `?definition=` query parameters and provide a copy-link action. ### Alternatives considered Converting an external reference into a Paperclip-managed secret would break consumers that depend on the existing provider reference. Pinning reads to the newly written AWS version would prevent later out-of-band rotations from flowing through. Keeping sheet selection only in React state would not support browser Back or shareable links. ### Roadmap alignment This extends the completed “Secrets Manager with per-agent access” roadmap capability; it does not duplicate a separate planned roadmap item. Public GitHub searches found no duplicate or closely related issue or PR. ### Additional context The PR includes focused provider, service, and UI render coverage. Cutter also generated previews for the deep-linked detail sheet and capability-aware rotate modes. ## What Changed - Added optional external-value write support to the secret provider contract and provider descriptors. - Implemented AWS Secrets Manager write-through with `PutSecretValue`, audit material, and compensation when persistence fails after the provider write. - Allowed `secretService.rotate()` value updates for external references while rejecting ambiguous value-plus-retarget combinations and unsupported providers. - Added capability-aware “Write new value” and “Change reference” rotate modes with updated custody and action copy. - Made secret and each-user definition detail sheets source their selection from URL query parameters, compose with folder paths, close through browser history, and expose a copy-link action. - Added provider, service, and UI render coverage for write-through, rollback, capability messaging, dialog modes, and deep links. ## Verification - `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/aws-secrets-manager-provider.test.ts` — 18 passed. - `pnpm vitest run server/src/__tests__/secrets-service.test.ts` — 75 passed. - `pnpm vitest run ui/src/pages/Secrets.render.test.tsx` — 31 passed. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck` — passed. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed. - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed. - `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed with all gates clean. ## Risks - External value writes affect the canonical provider secret and therefore all consumers of that AWS secret; the UI explicitly labels this custody behavior. - A provider write can succeed before Paperclip persistence fails. The service records the written version and AWS support includes compensation coverage to restore the prior value where possible; unrecoverable failures return explicit audit-safe error details. - URL-driven sheet state changes navigation behavior; render tests cover deep links, Back/close behavior, and composition with folder query state. - No database migration or breaking API requirement is introduced; providers without the optional capability retain reference-only behavior. > 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 using exact model ID `gpt-5.6-sol`, high reasoning mode, Codex CLI `0.142.5`, with repository, shell, Git, GitHub CLI, and code-execution tools. The runtime did not expose a context-window size. - Earlier implementation commits were assisted by Anthropic `Claude Fable 5` as recorded in their commit trailers; the exact backend model ID and context-window size were not preserved in the workspace metadata. ## 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 and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes, or confirmed no documentation change is required - [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: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
