## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - Agents run through the native runner. The runner turns harness activity into typed canonical events such as `research.*`, `model.route.changed`, `wait.*` and the run's own verification checks. > - The task chat flattened these events into generic tool rows. A web search showed as "Ran Research eventType: research.started, summary: …". The run's verification checks were dropped completely. > - Live tests found a second break: the Rust runner core forwarded Codex `webSearch` items without their query, action or results. The canonical `research.*` events therefore had `query: null`. > - This pull request keeps the full payload for these families (as #19252 did for plans), adds small dedicated rows, and keeps the web-search fields through the durable runner. > - The benefit is that users see what the agent searched for, which model actually ran, how long a wait lasts, and whether each check passed, without opening the run log. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #19252 (same pattern for the plan card) **Subsystem affected** Task chat activity rows (UI), the native run-event transcript mapping, and the Rust runner core Codex normalizer. **Problem or motivation** Provider activity that the runner already maps to canonical events reaches the task chat as unreadable generic rows. Verification checks never appear. For Codex, the web-search query and action are lost before they reach the canonical event. **Proposed solution** Keep `research`, `model_identity`, `artifact`, `review` and `wait` events as `provider_activity` entries with their full payload. Project the runner's `verification` items as a new `verification` family. Render dedicated rows: a web search with its quoted query and source-domain chips, a model switch as `from → to · reason`, a wait with a live countdown, and green/red check lines. Keep bounded web-search and sleep fields in the Rust normalizer. **Alternatives considered** A separate "Checks" block beside the final answer. We kept the checks in the activity group, because the group summary already leads with "Check failed" when a check fails. ## What Changed - `ui/src/components/transcript/native-run-events.ts`: keep research, model, artifact, review and wait events as `provider_activity` with the full payload. Map `item.completed` items of kind `verification` to the new `verification` family. Context, hook, safety and delegation stay on the generic path, because other work items own them. - `packages/adapter-utils/src/types.ts`, `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-model.ts`, `ui/src/lib/issue-chat-messages.ts`: add the `verification` provider-activity family. - `ui/src/components/task-chat/task-chat-activity-presentation.ts`: add labels: "Searched the web “query”", "Opened a web page host/path", "Switched models a → b · reason", "Waiting 30s" / "Waited 30s", and "Check passed" / "Check failed" / "Check not run". - `ui/src/components/task-chat/TaskChatRunnerActivityGroup.tsx` and `TaskChatProtocolActivityRow.tsx`: show up to three source-domain chips under a finished search, a live countdown for a running wait, and a check line with a tinted icon and its detail. - `ui/src/components/task-chat/completed-activity-summary.ts`: the group summary leads with "Check failed" when a check fails, and says "Switched models" for a reroute. - `ui/src/components/task-chat/transcript-adapter.ts`: verification detail keys, and a `startedAt` timestamp that stays across lifecycle merges (used by the countdown). - `packages/paperclip-runner/runner/crates/runner-core/src/provider_events.rs`: keep bounded `query`, `action` and http(s) `results` for Codex `webSearch` items, and `durationMs` for `sleep` items. Other item types do not change. - `ui/storybook/stories/tasks/task-chat-provider-activity.stories.tsx`: new story. Its fixtures are persisted run events that go through the production transcript path. ## Verification - `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run src/components/transcript src/components/task-chat src/components/TaskChatThread.test.tsx src/adapters/paperclip-runner src/lib`: 275 files and 3669 tests pass. - `cargo test -p paperclip-runner-core`: all tests pass, including the new `keeps_bounded_web_search_and_sleep_identity`. - UI typecheck is clean. `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `cargo fmt --check` is clean. - Storybook: open "Tasks and conversations / … / Task chat / Provider activity". It shows a settled run, a live search, a live wait countdown and a narrow layout. - Live test on a local worktree instance with a real Codex agent (gpt-5.6-sol, Codex app-server 0.160). The task asked for a web search, a parser with tests, a pause, and two checks. The task chat showed "Searched the web “ISO 8601 week date first week Thursday conversion calendar date”" and two green check rows ("node --test week-date.test.js · 8 tests passed; 0 failed.", "node --check week-date.js"). The group summary read "Ran checks". Before the runner fix, the same search had `query: null`. Not verified live: - The source-domain chips. Codex 0.160 sends `results: null`, because it keeps search results on the server. The chips appear only when a provider reports sources. Unit tests and the story cover them. - The wait countdown and the model-switch row. In the live run Codex paused with a shell `sleep`, not a native `sleep` item, and no reroute occurred. Unit tests and the story cover both. - Claude. Its WebSearch and WebFetch calls arrive as generic tool executions, because ACPX drops the tool metadata. They show as tool rows, as before. The ACPX `_meta` work is separate. ## Risks - Low risk. The change only affects how canonical events display. The generic path stays for the families that this PR does not change. - The Rust normalizer now persists the web-search query and the source URLs/titles in the run events. This data was already intended for the canonical `research.v1` event, and it is bounded (4,000 characters per text field, 64 results, http(s) URLs only). - A search that Codex reports with `action: other` and no query shows as "Searched the web" with no subject. > For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
