## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - The board UI sidebar shows the person's recent tasks on every page, including the Mine inbox > - The sidebar refreshes those rows through `GET /companies/:id/issues/summaries`, which accepted at most five IDs > - `useRecentTasks` sent the chunks one after another, so a 25-task history cost five sequential requests > - On staging each request took 3–6 s, so the recent-task rows settled about 20 s after load and every request competed with the inbox rows > - This pull request raises the per-request cap to 50 and fetches any remaining chunks in parallel > - The benefit is one summaries request for a typical history instead of a serial chain ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** The refresh of the sidebar's recent tasks on page load. **Subsystem affected** Board UI (`ui/src/hooks/useRecentTasks.ts`) and the `/issues/summaries` route bound (`packages/shared`, `server/src/routes/issues.ts`). **Current behavior** A history of N recent tasks sends ceil(N/5) summaries requests in series. Measured on staging on 2026-11-09 for a cold Mine load: five requests of five IDs, started at 1.0 s, 4.3 s, 8.1 s, 12.3 s and 18.4 s, each taking 3.3–6.1 s. **Proposed behavior** Up to 50 recent tasks are one request. Longer histories send their chunks at the same time. **Reason and benefit** The staging server is saturated, so each extra serial round trip delays the sidebar and the inbox rows. One request removes four round trips from a typical load. ## What Changed - `ISSUE_SUMMARIES_MAX_IDS` is now 50 (was 5). The shared validator, the route's 400 message, the service guard and the OpenAPI description use the new bound. - `useRecentTasks` builds all chunks first and fetches them at most three at a time (`RECENT_TASK_SUMMARY_CONCURRENCY`). The recent list has no size cap, so this keeps a long history from becoming a burst. The cache key, omission handling and pruning are unchanged. A failed chunk still fails the batch, so nothing is pruned on a partial failure. - Tests: the route test accepts exactly `MAX` IDs and rejects `MAX + 1`; a hook test checks that at most three chunks are in flight; the API test uses the constant; `useRecentTasks` tests cover a 25-task history in one request and a 103-task history with three chunks in flight together, with and without a failed chunk. - New browser check `tests/perf/collections/recent-task-summaries.spec.ts`: a Mine load with a 12-task history sends summaries requests that each carry all 12 IDs, and the server answers 200 with all 12 tasks. ## Verification - `pnpm verify` (selected Vitest files) passes. - `server`: `npx vitest run src/__tests__/issue-summaries-routes.test.ts src/__tests__/issue-display-status.test.ts` passes (embedded PostgreSQL). - `ui`: `npx vitest run src/hooks/useRecentTasks.test.tsx src/api/issue-summaries.test.ts src/components/task-chat/TaskChatBlockerLinks.test.tsx src/components/CoordinatorSidebar.test.tsx src/components/SidebarRecentTasks.test.tsx` passes. - Browser check against a disposable local instance: `PAPERCLIP_COLLECTION_PERF_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<port> pnpm exec playwright test --config tests/perf/collections/playwright.config.ts recent-task-summaries.spec.ts`. It passes on this branch. With `master`'s hook and constant it fails: three requests of 5, 5 and 2 IDs. ## Risks - Low risk. The route still validates UUIDs, deduplicates, and applies the same read authorization per row. Blocker attention is computed with set-based queries, so 50 IDs is the same number of queries as 5. - During a rolling deploy, a new UI against an old server would get a 400 for a history above five tasks. The server serves the UI bundle, so both change together on a normal deploy. The sidebar keeps its stored snapshot when the refresh fails. ## Model Used - Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with tool use (shell, file edits, browser). 1M-token context window.
