+# Paperclip v2026.831.1
+
+> Released: 2026-09-02
+
+A patch on top of [2026.831.0](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/releases/tag/v2026.831.0) that fixes first-run onboarding. It carries a single targeted change; everything else in 2026.831.0 is unchanged.
+
+## Fixes
+
+- **Onboarding no longer gets stuck on the organization step.** On the first onboarding screen ("What is the name of your organization?"), clicking **Continue** created the organization on the server but could leave the wizard sitting on the same step — so the page appeared to just refresh, and repeated clicks silently created duplicate organizations. The company-created list refresh can make the surrounding app adopt the just-created organization before the create request's continuation runs; the wizard now recognizes that as the same successful transition and advances to the first-agent step, while a genuine switch to a different organization still stops with a clear message. ([#12667](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/12667))
