DottaandPaperclip 2ee36a4c0a test: add chat feature scenarios and real task workflow evals (#17794)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent Chat lets a person assign work through a conversation.
> - Feature and API maps do not prove that a natural request produces
the right saved result.
> - Product E2E already owns isolated fixtures, browser runs, evidence
and cleanup.
> - This pull request adds a chat scenario catalog and two real task
workflows in that framework.
> - Independent checks verify the task, its author, the saved output and
the reply in chat.
> - The benefit is a small executable foundation for broader chat
coverage.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

It adds real task creation and delegation coverage for Agent Chat.

**Current behavior**

Existing maps describe features and agent access. Existing chat evals
cover specific protocols and handoffs. They do not connect a broad
human-request catalog to independent saved-state checks.

**Proposed behavior**

Keep 244 planned scenarios across 35 feature areas. Promote two requests
into the explicit-only `chat-features` suite. One saves a backlog task
without starting work. The other delegates an announcement and returns
the saved result to the original chat.

**Reason and benefit**

A successful tool call or confident reply does not prove the requested
result exists. These evals check public API state, attribution and
browser access after a real model run.

**Breaking changes**

No API or data schema changes. Chat instructions now require actual
relative task links. The local E2E private-state scanner recognizes
Codex account ownership metadata while continuing to reject credentials
and model-visible identity leaks.

**Additional context**

Related prior work: #13969 and #13762. This improves verification of the
existing Agent Chat roadmap item. It does not add a new core product
feature.

## What Changed

- Add YAML scenarios with capability IDs, starting context, user
requests and expected outcomes. Validate all area files against their
schema, global ID uniqueness and exact feature-map capability coverage.
- Add two local native Codex subscription cells. Send the exact catalog
request once through Chromium.
- Seed only prerequisites through public APIs. Use shipped agent
instructions and explicit disposable budget policies for unpriced
subscription usage.
- Check task ownership, creation audit, no premature execution, current
worker-authored output, automatic completion delivery and usable links
after reload.
- Keep private Codex account ownership metadata distinct from bearer
credentials. Scan rollout message content, all tokens and published
evidence as before.
- Teach normal chat instructions to use relative task links instead of
invented hosts. Update tests, maps and the runbook.
- Repair existing E2E contract drift: include the active Copilot
identity in the image digest and update Pi profile expectations. Keep
global catalog cardinality in its owning catalog test.

Product E2E owns the new flow and grader. Its existing launch and report
paths remain in use. The shared scanner change is limited to
owner-private temporary Codex runtime metadata. Other callers retain the
full secret scan. No UI, endpoint, schema or permission behavior
changes.

## Verification

- `node scripts/check-maps.mjs` passed: 35 areas and 191 capability IDs.
- Product E2E typecheck and focused tests passed before rebase: 225
Vitest tests and 137 Node tests. Conversation service tests passed
40/40. Five existing runner turn-binding regressions passed.
- Historical live measurement used real Chromium, server, database and
native Codex with no automatic retries. The initial same-definition
batch passed 5/6 cells. Backlog passed 3/3; delegation passed 2/3. One
CEO startup failed because the runner did not receive a provider turn
identity. The cause is unresolved.
- An unchanged follow-up passed delegation three times and backlog
twice. Combined evidence is backlog 5/5 and delegation 5/6. Each attempt
passed cleanup. Later passes do not erase the earlier failure or prove a
runner repair.
- Earlier failed revisions exposed an invented task hostname, private
account metadata false positives and missing funding for unpriced
subscription usage. Those led to the specific changes above; the failed
records remain retained locally.
- The runbook records campaign identifiers and definition provenance.
Generated result artifacts are not committed. Historical live results
predate this branch rebase; fresh PR-source live evidence and final
validation are recorded below.
- Full workspace typecheck and production build passed on the rebased
branch. Product E2E typecheck passed.
- The full Product E2E support suite first reproduced four baseline
failures: two missing active Copilot image-identity inputs and two stale
Pi/catalog expectations. The narrow contract fixes above resolved them.
The full rerun passed 4,282 Vitest tests plus 137 Node tests, with two
skipped. Image checks verify mutation changes the hash, unchanged input
stays stable, and an input closure without Copilot is unaffected.
Original failed logs remain retained.
- The repo-wide local Vitest run has reported two failures in unchanged
service files. The Workspace connection test passed an isolated recheck
and its full file passed 469/469 unchanged. The recovery test hit a
15-second timeout; its full file passed 89/89 unchanged. The run later
hit explicit PostgreSQL `semget` resource exhaustion and was interrupted
after those observed failures; no final aggregate counts or full local
pass are claimed. Its complete available log is retained. No assertion
or timeout was weakened. Matching remote server CI passed on the same
source.
- On clean PR head `39ad80b523ce194c90aafafd077d48dd9a36b4c5`, backlog
passed in `local-2026-10-26T19-24-13-014Z`. The parallel delegation
fixture failed during PostgreSQL initdb, before browser or model
execution; its failed cleanup grade is retained. A disposable standalone
initdb probe then passed. No semaphore sets or kernel settings were
changed before that probe/recheck. After confirming no remaining fixture
process, its private temporary files were removed.
- One separate delegation recheck passed in
`local-2026-10-26T19-29-24-800Z`, with one attempt, zero automatic
retries and successful cleanup. Both passing current-source cells use
definition
`3f2c9ba2d03e3dcddde47ddab3b43bc52de977f25e256fceae0a24c9128e204b`. The
earlier bootstrap failure and the historical provider startup failure
remain distinct. These local results omit automatic source-SHA metadata;
the clean checkout SHA is recorded here from the execution session.
- The later broad local run reported `could not create semaphores: No
space left on device`. A bounded cleanup removed 32 current-user
PostgreSQL sets with 17 members, marker 537, a dead recorded creator and
zero waiters. No live process or kernel limit was changed by that
cleanup. The test process group was subsequently stopped; no broad rerun
is planned. This direct later resource failure does not prove the
precise cause of the earlier live initdb failure.
- Review follow-up adds only static catalog validation and documentation
of the existing five-minute journey bound. The executable definition is
unchanged. Focused catalog/oracle tests passed 28/28; no redundant live
run is claimed.
- Final head `30fcb36ac9ae1f0270a589dbfafcec91ca6a03f3` passed all
required and underlying CI checks in [run
40391402347](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/40391402347),
including `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Greptile and Paperclip Review
both scored this head 5/5, with all review threads resolved. The static
follow-up leaves every executable definition input byte-identical to the
live-tested source at `39ad80b`.

Normal squash auto-merge is enabled. Actual merge is pending eligible
code-owner approval for the owned dependency manifest; no protection is
bypassed.

## Risks

- Live model behavior can vary. One missing turn-start event remains
unexplained; this PR does not claim provider reliability or broad
catalog qualification.
- Subscription costs are unpriced. Explicit fixture funding admits that
usage. Run counts and deadlines remain bounded, but the dollar limit
cannot cap unknown cost.
- Account identity exceptions apply only to known private Codex runtime
files. Token reuse, unknown files and model-visible rollout content
remain blocking findings.
- Deterministic checks establish saved state, output structure, required
brief facts and access. They do not score all prose quality. Initial
samples also require human inspection.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, browser and
repository tools. The precise model revision and context window are not
exposed to this session. Live eval agents used `gpt-5.6-sol`; that is
the evaluated model, not a claim about the authoring model.

# yaml-language-server: $schema=./catalog.schema.json
# Planning scenarios; not registered executions or evidence of a pass.
schema_version: 1
feature: workspaces
status: planned
scenarios:
- id: workspaces.locate-files
capabilities:
- workspaces/binding
context: >-
The website task has a projectless execution workspace; the agent may read its current
binding.
query: >-
Where are the files for the website task actually being worked on?
expected_outcome: >-
The response identifies the workspace bound to that task and points to the supported file
or workspace view. It does not infer the location from an agent's default directory or a
project name. Any pending workspace selection is distinguished from the active binding.
- id: workspaces.prepare-repository
capabilities:
- workspaces/provisioning
- projects/repositories
context: >-
The active task has a valid workspace but its authorized repository has not been acquired;
normal trust permits acquisition.
query: >-
Use the acorn/site repository for this task.
expected_outcome: >-
The repository request is persisted through the task-bound preparation path, and the
harness prepares it under normal admission. Chat reports pending or failed preparation
honestly and continues after readiness without a fabricated user checklist. A repository
record alone is not proof that the files are available.
- id: workspaces.private-repository-no-access
capabilities:
- workspaces/provisioning
- connection-setup/task-request
context: >-
The requested repository is private and the task lacks an eligible Git connection.
query: >-
Check out our private acorn/site repository and fix the header.
expected_outcome: >-
The agent requests the missing repository access through the supported flow, preserving
the task and repository intent. It does not substitute a public similarly named
repository, use another person's credentials or claim a checkout succeeded. After access
is granted, preparation resumes against the intended source.
- id: workspaces.preview-service
capabilities:
- workspaces/services
- documents-artifacts/work-products
context: >-
The website files exist in an owned ready workspace and the agent can manage its runtime
service.
query: >-
Start a preview of the website so I can look at it.
expected_outcome: >-
A supported preview service starts, and the agent verifies readiness before returning the
accessible endpoint. Chat ties the preview to the right workspace and exposes actionable
startup failure if needed. A created service record or a process launch message alone is
not a working preview.
- id: workspaces.inspect-git
capabilities:
- workspaces/files-git
context: >-
The task's repository contains a synthetic uncommitted header edit and an unrelated
existing change.
query: >-
Show me what changed in the website files.
expected_outcome: >-
The agent inspects the actual authorized workspace and summarizes the relevant diff with
file references. It preserves pre-existing changes and distinguishes committed from
uncommitted work. It does not claim the remote repository was updated or inspect a
similarly named checkout elsewhere on the host.
- id: workspaces.close-and-reopen
capabilities:
- workspaces/closure
context: >-
A completed task workspace has retained files and no active run; the actor has the
supported closure permission.
query: >-
Close this workspace for now, but let me come back to the files later.
expected_outcome: >-
The permitted close operation changes lifecycle state while retaining the promised work
and source references. Chat explains the supported reopen or retrieval path and verifies
the actual state. Closure is not treated as deleting files, force-reconciling a branch or
cancelling another task's workspace.
- id: workspaces.recover-lost-sandbox
capabilities:
- workspaces/closure
- recovery/workspace
context: >-
A historical export failed and its exact sandbox was destroyed; surviving task attachments
exist and only the board can choose reconstruction.
query: >-
Continue from whatever files survived that failed website run.
expected_outcome: >-
The response directs the authorized human to Continue from saved sources with the
available attachments and known losses. The harness reconstructs through normal
fresh-session admission after the decision. The old failure remains visible, newer work is
preserved and chat does not claim lost files were recovered without evidence.
