## Thinking Path > - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work. > - Pipelines was an unused experiment with its own UI, API, CLI, and automation. > - Keeping it leaves unsupported product surfaces and extra task-detail queries. > - Removing the experiment must preserve data that users already saved. > - This pull request removes the feature and keeps its database schema and migration history. > - Cases and Routines remain available as separate features. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description **What existing behavior does this improve?** Remove the unused Pipelines experiment across the application. **Current behavior** The experiment includes pipeline boards, stage settings, case automation, review queues, learnings, permissions, and CLI commands. Task detail also queries pipeline links. **Proposed behavior** Remove all these product surfaces and their implementation. Preserve existing tables, records, and documents. Ignore the retired boolean in older managed configurations so upgrades still start. **Breaking changes** Pipeline URLs, API endpoints, CLI commands, and `pipelines:write` are removed. Task detail no longer includes the old `linkedCases` field. The independent Cases API remains available. No database migration or cleanup is included. Related feature work: #7907, #9110, #10905, #11375, #13004, #14671, #16133. Related issues: #9663, #10310, #10312. This removal supersedes the feature; it does not implement those pending enhancements or delete their saved data. ## What Changed - Remove Pipeline UI pages, navigation, gates, clients, query keys, helpers, and unused design tokens. - Remove Pipeline REST routes, services, automation dispatch, task-detail queries, and OpenAPI discovery. - Remove the CLI commands, shared contracts, experimental flag, catalog entry, and permission defaults. - Remove feature-specific tests, tutorials, smoke scripts, maps, and Storybook examples. - Preserve database schema, migration history, and the reserved document key used by old records. - Keep Cases routes independent and cover obsolete stored and managed settings. ## Verification - Passed: `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck`. - Passed: targeted settings, managed configuration, sidebar, settings UI, routing, and feature-catalog tests. A first sidebar run caught a shared Workspaces icon import; the import was restored and the sidebar rerun passed. - Passed: 40 tests covering Cases routes, OpenAPI discovery, retained Pipeline table constraints, and schema snapshot drift. - Passed: token gates, map validation, generated API metadata check, Storybook catalog validation, and 28 map/catalog tests. - Passed: isolated local browser verification of navigation and Experimental settings with Pipelines absent; Cases and Routines still open normally. Live GET/POST requests to retired Pipeline endpoints return 404, and the retired setting is absent. CLI help has no Pipeline commands. - Passed: 22 access-service and agent-default-grant tests after restoring unrelated permission assertions flagged in review. - Local full run: `pnpm test:run` reported one failure in the unchanged workspace-runtime port-allocation test. That test passed in an isolated rerun. The long local run was stopped after full CI passed; it is not reported as a complete local pass. - Passed: all 56 checks on `def9181f3a4491d95fca1d38e9739f5b821aae3e` (2 conditional checks skipped), including build, typecheck, test shards, and browser suites. Eleven interrupted CI jobs reported “The operation was canceled”; their one-time retry passed. [CI run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/39255211006). - Greptile: 5/5 on the final commit, with the only review finding fixed and resolved. - Sandbox socket restrictions affected the first build/API test attempts. The same commands ran with local sockets available. ## Risks - Existing Pipeline clients must stop using the removed endpoints and commands. - Existing data remains in the database and backups, but the removed UI no longer displays it. - Historical boolean `enablePipelines` values are ignored. They cannot restore the feature. - Cases and Routines must retain their separate behavior. Targeted route tests cover this boundary. ## Model Used OpenAI Codex, GPT-6, with repository inspection, editing, shell execution, and browser verification. The exact deployed model ID and context-window size are not exposed in this session. ## 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 (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) 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 - [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: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

# Cases
|
||
|
||
The cases experiment exposes structured records with types, fields, parent/child relationships, activity, revisions, and related task work.
|
||
|
||
Implementation: [case list](../../ui/src/pages/Cases.tsx), [case detail](../../ui/src/pages/CaseDetail.tsx).
|
||
|
||
Agent access: [companion](../agent-access-map/cases.md).
|
||
|
||
## Sub-features
|
||
|
||
- `browse`: search, filter, sort, group, and navigate case records.
|
||
- `structure`: inspect fields and parent/child relationships without losing matching descendants.
|
||
- `history`: inspect revisions and activity for a record.
|
||
- `task-links`: follow work associated with a case in both directions.
|
||
|
||
## How to get to it (user POV)
|
||
|
||
### `case-list`
|
||
|
||
Open `/cases` and switch between available grouped/tree views.
|
||
|
||
### `case-record`
|
||
|
||
Open `/cases/:caseIdentifier` or a task’s linked case.
|
||
|
||
## Driving it with Playwright and the Paperclip CLI
|
||
|
||
Preconditions: follow the [baseline](./README.md#before-driving-a-journey). Enable cases and prepare related records with different types/statuses plus an associated task.
|
||
|
||
### `case-list`
|
||
|
||
Automated: [case list](../../ui/src/pages/Cases.test.tsx) covers filters, persisted view state, and keyboard/tree behavior with mocked data.
|
||
|
||
Manual: Search for a child, verify its parent context remains understandable, change filters/grouping/columns, and reload. Open the record by keyboard and direct link. Include empty results and terminal records.
|
||
|
||
### `case-record`
|
||
|
||
Automated: [case routes](../../server/src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts) covers API behavior; [case fields](../../ui/src/components/CaseFieldsPanel.test.tsx) covers field UI separately.
|
||
|
||
Manual: Change status or labels, reload, inspect activity, and follow child/task
|
||
links. Edit a case document and inspect its document revisions separately.
|
||
Arbitrary JSON fields are currently displayed without a general field editor.
|
||
Verify cross-company and invalid changes fail clearly.
|
||
|
||
## Gotchas
|
||
|
||
- A case is not a task execution; inspect linked tasks to prove work occurred.
|
||
- Feature gating and offered controls determine available actions. The API
|
||
accepts a string case type and arbitrary JSON fields; do not infer typed
|
||
case-field validation or a field-editing UI from those values.
|
||
|
||
### Storybook verification
|
||
|
||
#### `browse`
|
||
|
||
Scope: ui
|
||
Storybook: Mount Cases search/filter/sort/group/tree, matched-child parent context, persisted view choices, keyboard navigation and empty/loading/error.
|
||
Production: GET /companies/{id}/cases scope/filter behavior is production evidence; rendered fixtures establish presentation only. Mutation/permission scenarios need real API checks separately.
|
||
Sources: Source: [Cases.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/Cases.tsx), [cases.ts](../../server/src/routes/cases.ts). Tests: [Cases.test.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/Cases.test.tsx), [cases-routes.test.ts](../../server/src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts)
|
||
|
||
#### `structure`
|
||
|
||
Scope: ui
|
||
Storybook: Mount CaseDetail and CaseFieldsPanel with arbitrary JSON fields and parent/children, matching descendants and unavailable child. Do not invent a general field editor or typed field validation.
|
||
Production: GET /cases/{id} must return permitted company records and correct relationships; changes/persistence require route tests separately.
|
||
Sources: Source: [CaseDetail.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/CaseDetail.tsx), [CaseFieldsPanel.tsx](../../ui/src/components/CaseFieldsPanel.tsx), [Cases.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/Cases.tsx), [cases.ts](../../server/src/routes/cases.ts). Tests: [CaseFieldsPanel.test.tsx](../../ui/src/components/CaseFieldsPanel.test.tsx), [Cases.test.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/Cases.test.tsx), [CaseDetail.test.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/CaseDetail.test.tsx), [cases-routes.test.ts](../../server/src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts)
|
||
|
||
#### `history`
|
||
|
||
Scope: ui
|
||
Storybook: Mount CaseDetail activity and document revisions as distinct views, empty/loading/errors, attribution and source links.
|
||
Production: GET /cases/{id}/events and /cases/{id}/documents/{key}/revisions require company/access filtering; a fixture list does not establish durable revision creation or restoration.
|
||
Sources: Source: [CaseDetail.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/CaseDetail.tsx), [cases.ts](../../server/src/routes/cases.ts). Tests: [CaseDetail.test.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/CaseDetail.test.tsx), [cases-routes.test.ts](../../server/src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts)
|
||
|
||
#### `task-links`
|
||
|
||
Scope: ui
|
||
Storybook: Mount CaseDetail and IssueCasesPanel related-task/case links in both directions, missing links and unavailable targets.
|
||
Production: GET /issues/{id}/cases and GET /cases/{id} must enforce permitted task/case relationships; production browser cold links verify destination and company context.
|
||
Sources: Source: [CaseDetail.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/CaseDetail.tsx), [IssueCasesPanel.tsx](../../ui/src/components/IssueCasesPanel.tsx), [cases.ts](../../server/src/routes/cases.ts). Tests: [IssueCasesPanel.test.tsx](../../ui/src/components/IssueCasesPanel.test.tsx), [CaseDetail.test.tsx](../../ui/src/pages/CaseDetail.test.tsx), [cases-routes.test.ts](../../server/src/__tests__/cases-routes.test.ts)
