TonioandPaperclip 56517dda6c fix(ui): bundle connector, toolbar, empty-state and agent roster fixes (#18716)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators use connector setup, collection headers, empty states, and
agent lists to manage that work.
> - Provider redirects replace the setup page, and collection controls
use different sizes.
> - Agent selection inserts a bar above the list. The row link
highlights only part of the row.
> - This pull request keeps sign-in in a separate window and applies the
Tasks control sizes to collection and audit headers.
> - It also reuses artifact artwork for empty collections and gives
agent selection a fixed action card.
> - These changes preserve the operator's place and keep controls and
rows stable.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

Connector sign-in replaced the current page. Inline collection controls
had different heights. Projects and Artifacts used small placeholder
empty states. Agent selection moved the list, hover covered only the
identity cell, and chat/status shared that cell without matching
headings.

**Expected behavior**

Provider sign-in opens in a new tab or window. Collection controls match
Tasks. Empty collections use the large artifact graphics. Agent actions
float above the page while rows remain aligned.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start connector sign-in from a page or dialog. Compare collection and
Audit headers. Open an empty Projects or Artifacts collection. Select an
agent, then hover across its row.

Related public work: #13584 covers an earlier connector new-tab
implementation, including same-page fallbacks that this bundle does not
use. #8528 covers Tasks toggle sizing. #17742 covers scoped agent Audit
sections. This bundle does not change server callback or audit
authorization contracts.

## What Changed

- Reserve a separate authorization window during the click. Use
validated sign-in URLs, retain a new-tab fallback, and close blank
windows after failed requests. Store Cloud reauthentication state in the
destination window.
- Use the Tasks 44px control foundation for shared collection headers
and Audit, Costs, Timeline, Secrets, Teams, Gateways, and agent skill
controls.
- Use a large artifact stack with an off-white Paperclip image with a
dark icon for Projects and artifact Tasks empty states. Use one matching
artifact for other types. Set 20px gaps and use the label “Create
project”. Action hover and keyboard focus animate the artwork.
- Portal agent bulk actions to a fixed card 48px above the bottom safe
area. Use quintic entry/exit motion and respect reduced motion. Retain
card contents during exit.
- Give chat and status separate cells, add a Status heading, use the
MessagesSquare chat action with a hover tooltip, and highlight the
entire row.
- Add linked agent chips and a manager picker to the agent profile.
Block self and descendant manager choices. Keep the name crown and
custom title inline during edits.
- Update design guidance, the connection maps, regression tests, and
empty-state Storybook fixtures.

## Verification

- Final commit `a41a6c6494a839deaaec1ef7cc50c90078ab6381`: all 55 checks
passed, three skipped. [Canonical CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41999792769)
includes all eight browser shards and all server/runner/workspace
groups. Greptile: 5/5, zero unresolved review findings.
- Workspace typecheck/build passed. Local UI suite passed 11,006 tests
in 880 files, plus 542 CLI tests. Subsequent connector callback changes
passed all 245 AppsConnect tests, UI typecheck, token gates, and
query-error policy checks. Manager cache/error regressions passed four
tests. Map checks passed.
- Local connector browser suite: 20 passed. All six chat integration
shards: 1,931 passed. Workspace B groups passed; database tests passed
313 cases across 72 files with one worker.
- Browser preview verified agent manager changes, overview links, inline
name/title geometry, empty-state colors, row actions and the chat
tooltip. Live provider consent and post-deployment feature verification
remain separate from these fixtures.
- Preserved failures: ten bulk-roster tests initially missed the
portaled action card; their selectors were fixed and all twelve roster
tests passed. A nested fixture selected pnpm 11 and removed local
dependencies; the local shim now pins pnpm 9. Embedded PostgreSQL native
links were restored. A Python 3.9 fixture failure passed all 19 tests
with the current runtime. Concurrent local database startup failures
passed on the one-worker rerun.
- The broad local serialized server run passed 3,791 tests with one
scheduling assertion failure, which passed in isolation. The local
general-server run reproduced a native recovery provider/model fixture
failure and has not completed. These server sources are unchanged by
this bundle; all final canonical CI server shards passed. This is not a
claim that every broad local run passed.
- [Earlier CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/41995119880)
failed a browser test during cleanup when heartbeat-run cancellation hit
a PostgreSQL lock timeout. All final browser shards passed without
weakening that test.
- Review follow-ups cover Slack popup/fallback recovery, a single
artwork hover transform, shared manager error rendering, detached
standalone OAuth windows, and verified task-bound callbacks in both
hosts.

## Risks

- Browser popup policy and provider callback behavior can affect sign-in
completion. The original setup page stays open; blocked windows have an
explicit recovery path.
- Shared toolbar styles affect several surfaces. Menu content remains in
its existing portals; canonical label tabs and search clear buttons
retain their own geometry.
- No schema, server, API authorization, or migration change.
- Required CI and review are complete. Deployment provenance and hosted
feature verification are checked separately after merge.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, test
execution, and browser inspection. The exact model ID and context-window
size were not exposed in this session.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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:

  1. Sub-features — stable backticked local keys, full capability IDs, and observable behavior/states, such as - `company`: `onboarding/company` — create a company.
  2. How to get to it (user POV) — one H3 backticked entry-point ID per surface.
  3. Driving it with — starts with Preconditions:; repeat each entry-point H3, with Automated: and Manual: paragraphs. Name test scope and gaps honestly.
  4. 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.
