## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Connectors let people give agents tools, such as Slack, from the
Connectors catalog or from an agent's inline "Connect" card
> - On Paperclip Cloud, the only Slack path is "Slack needs its own
OAuth app". The user must create a Slack app, paste a callback URL, and
enter a Client ID and secret
> - Managed Slack chat setup exists, but it is behind the experimental
Chat connectors setting, which is off on Cloud. Composio's and Arcade's
managed Slack sign-in exists, but the native Slack row hides it
> - In an onboarding test on Cloud, a tester got this card from the
onboarding agent, spent 7 minutes on it, and declined it. No Slack
connection was made
> - This pull request follows the existing Google Workspace pattern: on
Cloud, a native connector whose every setup path needs a
customer-created OAuth app yields new setup to the aggregators' managed
sign-in, in the catalog and in agent connection discovery
> - The benefit is that Cloud users can connect Slack with a sign-in
instead of creating a Slack app
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
On a Paperclip Cloud instance, the onboarding agent asked the user to
connect Slack. Connectors > Slack > Connect showed "Slack needs its own
OAuth app. Slack does not let Paperclip register itself automatically,
so this connector needs an OAuth app you create." The form asks for a
callback URL, a Client ID and a Client secret. It has no link to Slack
app settings. The method description said "Use the provider-hosted
connection for the quickest setup." The tester gave up. The original
notes said that the cloud connector asked for an HTTPS server. That is
not correct: no HTTPS or deployment-mode check is in this path. The real
blocker is the customer OAuth app requirement.
**Expected behavior**
Slack can be connected from the supported Cloud flow without setup steps
that only an operator can do.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. On a Cloud instance with Chat connectors off (the Cloud default),
open Connectors and search for "Slack".
2. Click Connect on Slack. The "needs its own OAuth app" form opens.
3. Or, let an agent call `connections_search("Slack")`. It returns
native `slack` first, and its card opens the same form.
**Additional context**
Evidence: the Slack gallery entry on the Cloud instance had
`ownershipAvailability` `platform_shared: false`, `platform_provisioned:
false`, `customer: true`. `GET
/api/companies/:id/chat-slack/setup-options` returned 403 "Chat
connectors are disabled".
## What Changed
- `packages/shared`: add `nativeConnectorRequiresCustomerOAuthApp(app,
settings)`. It is true when every available setup path of a native
connector needs a customer-created OAuth app: no Paperclip-managed
client, no dynamic client registration, and no enabled chat setup.
- `ui/src/pages/apps/Browse.tsx`: on Cloud, such a connector yields to
aggregators, the same as the built-in Google connectors. The catalog
shows the "Connect through Composio or Arcade" row, and its Connect
button opens the provider choice. A saved native connection, a chat
endpoint, Chat connectors on, a self-hosted instance, or no aggregator
route keeps the native row.
- `server/src/services/connection-intents.ts` and new
`connection-native-yield.ts`: agent `connections_search` uses the same
rule. On Cloud, it does not prefer native Slack for new setup, so the
agent asks the provider-choice question (Composio, Arcade or Zapier).
The rule applies the advertised Paperclip Cloud connector profiles, so
apps with a managed Cloud client (for example Asana) do not yield. If
the profiles cannot be read, the native connector stays.
- `slack.json`: correct the Slack tool method copy, which said "quickest
setup". Add a "register" console link to `https://api.slack.com/apps`,
so the form now shows "Open Slack app settings".
- Tests in all three layers.
## Verification
Red/green. I committed the tests first (`2386fd83df`) and ran them
against unchanged source code.
**Red (before the fix):**
```

**Green (after the fix):**
```
✓ server › Slack on Paperclip Cloud › offers aggregator Slack routes while native Slack only supports a customer-created OAuth app
✓ server › Slack on Paperclip Cloud › keeps native Slack when Chat connectors provide its own setup path
✓ server › Slack on Paperclip Cloud › keeps native Slack for a company that already saved a Slack connection
✓ server › keeps native Slack on self-hosted instances, where operators register their own Slack app
✓ ui › offers aggregator Slack sign-in on Cloud while the built-in Slack connector needs a customer OAuth app
✓ ui › keeps the built-in Slack connector when Chat connectors offer its setup path
✓ ui › keeps the built-in Slack connector when the instance is self-hosted
✓ ui › keeps a saved built-in Slack connection on its native row on Cloud
✓ shared › describes the customer-created Slack app honestly and links to Slack app settings
✓ shared › flags Slack only while its chat setup is unavailable
✓ shared › does not flag connectors with a managed, dynamic-registration, or credential path
```
Neighbouring suites:
- `packages/shared` (all): 98 files, 1060 tests passed
- `ui` `src/pages/apps` + `src/features/connections`: 54 files, 980
tests passed
- `server` `connection-aggregator-fallback` 49/49,
`connection-intents-service`, `native-connection-baseline-fixture`,
`runner-connection-eval-fixtures` passed. `satisfied-connection-intents`
52/52 passed when run alone. It had a suite-setup error only when three
embedded-Postgres runs went in parallel.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: clean. `tsc --noEmit` shows no errors in
changed files. Local runs show unrelated errors because the
`paperclip-runner` workspace package is not built. CI runs the full
typecheck.
Still needs a live Slack workspace to prove:
- Complete Slack sign-in through Composio or Arcade on a Cloud instance,
and an agent tool call to Slack.
- An agent run on Cloud that asks the provider-choice question for Slack
and then connects through the selected aggregator.
## Risks
- Behaviour change on Cloud only, for native connectors whose every path
needs a customer-created OAuth app and that an aggregator serves. Today
that is Slack (when Chat connectors are off), and Box and Xero if the
aggregator catalog has them. On Cloud, these move to the aggregator
route for new setup, the same as the built-in Google connectors. Saved
connections keep their native row and discovery.
- Cloud users who want their own Slack app can still open
`/apps/connect?source=slack`, but the catalog row no longer links to it
while the rule applies.
- Self-hosted instances keep the native connector unchanged.
- Follow-up, not in this PR: enable managed Slack chat on Cloud (Chat
connectors Cloud default and `PAPERCLIP_SLACK_MANAGED_SETUP_ENABLED`).
This is a flag and operations change. It needs the Cloud Slack broker to
be proven first. When it is enabled, this rule stops yielding Slack
automatically.
