## Thinking Path > - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their work. > - Mine shows the work and failures that need the viewing user's attention. > - A reload waits for account access, task rows, parent captions and failure state. > - Those reads form several browser request stages before useful rows appear. > - Live invalidations can also restart the same task-list request more than once. > - This change supplies startup data together and removes redundant refresh work. > - It preserves current authority, failure presentation, archive state and row stability. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs #18645. Related: #18642. This change implements the read-receipt behavior independently on current master. It does not use that PR's branch or patch. **What happened?** Mine starts its primary request after the session, company and board-access reads. It then requests parent captions and rich failure context. Four observed loads spent another 0.45–0.70 seconds after the primary rows arrived. One slower load waited 1.71 seconds for parent context. The same run observed two HTTP 429 responses. These timings identify request waits; they do not attribute the delay to SQL or Node CPU. Read receipts also invalidate general task collections and dashboards. Overlapping parent and child invalidations can start two requests and abort the first. **Expected behavior** The initial page should use one account-safe startup projection and one complete Mine response. A read receipt should refresh the affected viewer's inbox state. Each invalidation batch should refresh a covered query once. Required captions and current failure state must be ready before first reveal. Existing rows should remain usable during a transient refresh error. **Steps to reproduce** 1. Open a populated Mine inbox with parent tasks outside the visible index and a current failed run. 2. Reload with browser HTTP cache retained and application query state empty. 3. Inspect the session, company, board access, task-index and context request sequence. 4. Open or mark a task read and inspect the unrelated collection refetches. **Paperclip version or commit** Baseline: `44a9a043b80c18314d8dd89556f444dae696d3d6`. **Deployment mode** Authenticated board UI. Local proof uses the real APIs and database with a synthetic session resolver. No hosted candidate deployment is claimed. ## What Changed - Add optional, same-user `boardBootstrap` data to the existing session response. Seed account-keyed company and board-access reads from it. Keep ordinary endpoint reads for fallback, retry and live reconciliation. A returning account cannot reuse revoked cached access. Cache collection and later real refetches remain effective. - Add the board-only Mine snapshot endpoint. Reuse the canonical issue selector, private-task filtering, run-read decisions, secret redaction and interruption/recovery presentation. Assemble the fixed 100-task page, parent captions and bounded 200-run failure window on the server. Start independent reads together. Optional source errors keep successful task rows usable. - Keep array-shaped source caches for archive and undo. Key Mine source, context and reveal state by account. Validate the response's user stamp before committing it. Remove array-only cross-tab Mine broadcasts, which cannot carry its paired failure context. The server retains authenticated in-flight coalescing. - Scope read-receipt invalidation to the affected viewer's inbox, badges and chat unread state. Keep company and task audit views fresh. Preserve genuine task mutations, run updates and subscription-gap reconciliation. - Remove covered scalar-prefix invalidations within a batch. Preserve predicates, exact matches and different query/refetch constraints. A later event can still refresh again. - Retire Mine in-flight reuse after local company activity or run lifecycle changes. A post-archive read starts fresh. Old work keeps its admission slot until it settles, even if every HTTP client aborts. The eight-compute limit stays in place. - Add API, component and browser regressions. Extend the production timing harness with matching API/UI artifact receipts, retained-cache reloads, request status counts, layout checks and optional controlled network latency. Update API and verification documentation. ## Verification - Full `pnpm -r typecheck` passes. - Full `pnpm build` passes. - Token gates, map checks and diff whitespace checks pass. - 72 Inbox component tests pass. Startup-specific checks pass, including account switching, revoked cached access, malformed/absent bootstrap data and cache collection. The canonical authenticated bootstrap route also passes against real PostgreSQL. - Six real PostgreSQL Mine route cases pass, including full equivalence with legacy authorized projections, privacy, fixed bounds, membership revocation, coalescing, archive freshness and aborted-client admission. Four focused legacy coordinator controls pass. Six assembly tests pass. - Refetch and invalidation regressions pass. Meaningful pre-fix tests observed two request starts and one abort for overlapping invalidations; the fix produces one start and no abort. The archive race test observed the post-archive GET joining the old body before the fix. - All 11 existing startup browser checks pass, including Tasks/Mine code loading, desktop/mobile bounds, non-streamlined Coordinator, task navigation, failed preloading and Back position. The nine focused startup, fallback, partial-source error, rate-limit recovery, archive/undo and geometry cases also pass. The 429 cases use the inherited retry window. Archive and keyboard undo are corroborated through the real API and reload. Authentication and failure fault injection in these cases are explicitly simulated. - Matched production before/after timings are complete. Full aggregate Vitest coverage is left to CI. At 15:15 UTC, the final-head runner gate and `review` workflow pass. The 45 build/test/policy jobs are queued; the Build job has no `ubuntu-latest` runner assigned and has executed no steps, so remote aggregate results remain unverified. Paperclip Review and Superagent Security Scan are in progress. Superseded runs for this PR were cancelled. No current-head check has reported a failure; the CI checklist remains open. The remaining step is runner allocation and completion of those external checks; persistent queueing needs the repository CI owner's attention. - Greptile completed on final head `ecde295565309275c4f2fae903caf6892f1eaafd` at 5/5. The map-scope finding is fixed and resolved; there are no open review threads. ### Matched browser timings Five alternating baseline/candidate pairs per network scenario, measured serially in headful Chrome 156.0.8078.80 on Apple silicon with Node 24.22.2 and a 1440×900 viewport. Both production UIs use their matching real API revision against one fixed disposable PostgreSQL fixture: 34 tasks, 31 visible task rows, one paused agent and one terminal failure. No active agent/provider work. HTTP cache is retained; each initial sample reloads the document and clears application query state. Warm navigation and Back retain query state. CPU and throughput are native. The 100ms scenario uses CDP minimum request-to-response-header latency without request interception. It is a controlled request-dependency experiment, not a staging reproduction. Values are median milliseconds with min–max in parentheses. Paired saving is baseline minus candidate for each alternating pair; its median differs from the difference of arm medians. Positive saving favors the candidate. | Network / journey | Baseline | Candidate | Median paired saving | | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | | Native / initial rows | 187.6 (128.9–208.5) | 191.7 (130.3–210.9) | −23.3 | | Native / Recent → Mine | 100.17 (99.90–101.87) | 100.07 (99.88–101.37) | −0.16 | | Native / task → Back | 70.45 (56.63–72.02) | 66.64 (56.52–67.71) | +4.94 | | 100ms / initial rows | 930.3 (914.1–1015.7) | 799.0 (697.1–826.0) | +211.8 | | 100ms / Recent → Mine | 100.09 (97.73–100.16) | 100.18 (96.65–100.98) | −0.02 | | 100ms / task → Back | 74.97 (62.77–75.82) | 75.47 (61.51–76.19) | +0.35 | The controlled-latency initial pairs all improve, saving 108.3–217.0ms. Native initial pairs have mixed signs (−67.5 to +78.1ms), so they establish no reliable native page-speed improvement. Warm and Back timings are effectively unchanged. Median primary-request start is 110.4→135.2ms natively and 497.8→480.9ms with 100ms latency; these runs do not establish a large startup-only timing gain. API requests through the two-second post-reveal window fall from median 32 (32–37) to 27 (25–28) natively, and 37 (33–38) to 30 (25–32) with 100ms latency. All 20 samples preserve the same ordered 31 task links, first-row DOM identity and geometry. All recorded API responses are HTTP 200; zero unfinished requests, 429s or JavaScript errors. Lower 429 incidence on staging remains unproven. Measured source: baseline `44a9a043b80c18314d8dd89556f444dae696d3d6`, candidate `4c12b2ef0ecf0754676e99bd6b9399e84408646c`. Final head `ecde295565309275c4f2fae903caf6892f1eaafd` changes only two feature-map files and existing browser test expectations since that measured candidate; production executable inputs are identical to the measured candidate. Asset hashes, API health revision receipts and every raw sample were retained. These results do not claim hosted-page improvement or deployment of this PR. ## Risks - Startup enrichment adds work to the session read. Failure of this optional projection falls back to the ordinary company and access endpoints. It does not invalidate a valid session or replace per-request server authorization. - Account changes, stale cache entries and same-company navigation can expose old presentation data. Account keys, principal stamps, reveal scopes and canonical bootstrap replacement have dedicated negative cases. Permission failures hide cached task rows; transient network, 429 and 5xx failures preserve them. - Current failure state can differ from the historical failed run. The snapshot uses the existing canonical rich projection and verified missing-ID coverage. Partial context failures retain an explicit retry path. - Mutation retirement follows events delivered to the current server process. This adds no cross-replica invalidation protocol or distributed read-after-write guarantee. - New UI assets require the matching API. Older UI/session consumers retain their existing response and endpoint behavior. There is no database migration, provider call or deployment change. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, code execution, browser automation and delegated source review.

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.
