Adds an optional Cloud-only HTML snippet so operators can load Plain’s
standard chat bubble. **6 files, 16 implementation lines added; 102
additions including tests and docs.**
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip serves Cloud and self-hosted users.
> - Closed beta users need a way to report problems.
> - Plain provides a ready-made chat widget.
> - Cloud operators can load it through a generic deployment setting.
> - Self-hosted instances ignore that setting.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Server-served UI HTML.
**Problem or motivation**
Enable a chat bubble in Cloud without adding a support feature to the
React app.
**Proposed solution**
Insert trusted `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_UI_SNIPPET` HTML before `</body>` when
the existing Cloud-managed predicate is true. The setting is off by
default. Related Cloud-gated integration: #12190.
## What Changed
Review the [final
diff](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13168/files) in this
order:
1. `server/src/cloud-ui-snippet.ts`: the eight-line Cloud gate and HTML
insertion.
2. `server/src/static-index-html.ts` and `server/src/app.ts`: apply it
to static root/index, SPA routes, and Vite HTML.
3. Two test files and `doc/cloud-ui-snippet.md`: boundary checks and
setup instructions.
React UI, customer identity, and database behavior are unchanged. The
existing feedback flag remains. Plain chat is anonymous; no Paperclip
name, email, or organization is supplied.
## Verification
- **Greptile: 5/5**, no actionable findings, reviewed commit
`04bb44515`.
- **[CI
passed](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34535763243)**,
including build, typecheck, server tests, and end-to-end tests.
- Local: six focused tests, full typecheck, and build passed. The full
local suite has not produced a final result; CI is the completed full
verification.
- Staging deployment and live chat testing remain to be done.
### Staging setup
Set **one server environment variable**, `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_UI_SNIPPET`,
to:
```html
<script>
(function(d) {
var script = d.createElement('script');
script.src = 'https://chat.cdn-plain.com/index.js';
script.onload = function() {
Plain.init({ appId: 'liveChatApp_01M26J213F6RR53YRARZVAFCZZ' });
};
d.head.appendChild(script);
})(document);
</script>
```
This is the public staging app ID. **No API key or signing secret is
needed.** Deploy to staging and restart the app with this setting. Test
`/`, `/index.html`, and an organization dashboard; send a message and
confirm a support reply returns. Production rollout is separate.
[Plain embed docs](https://www.plain.com/docs/product/channels/chat) ·
[Configuration and
rollback](04bb445151/doc/cloud-ui-snippet.md)
## Risks
Only trusted operators should set this value. The HTML is public and
scripts execute in the app origin; do not include secrets or
user-provided HTML. Plain owns the anonymous browser session, with no
Paperclip account-switch integration. To roll back, unset the variable,
restart, and refresh open tabs.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with repository inspection and code execution.
Exact runtime model identifier and context size are not exposed in this
session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - People also ask agents for work in their existing chat tools.
> - Each external conversation needs one task and a current authorized
source.
> - Retries, Stop, and provider failures must not duplicate work or
expose private data.
> - The first chat PR establishes the opt-in provider and data
contracts.
> - This PR adds experimental channel integration and its durable
control plane.
> - Users can request work from connected channels and inspect delivery
in Paperclip.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13100 and #13092. This is the second of exactly two chat PRs.
Foundation #13100 is merged and changed 143 files. Runner prerequisite
#13092 is also merged. This PR changes 400 files against master, below
the 500-file review limit. It contains no wireframe images or HTML
galleries.
## What Changed
- Add native Slack, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, and Discord chat
connections. Keep chat disabled unless the operator enables experimental
chat connectors. Preserve the production GitHub tool connection and its
normal setup path.
- Bind each provider bot identity to one immutable Paperclip agent. Bind
each admitted external conversation to one task. Paperclip owns tasks,
runs, permissions, and audit records.
- Add durable admission, per-conversation queues, questions, task
controls, progress, final replies, images, files, and delivery receipts.
Board comments remain internal unless explicitly sent to the channel.
- Check current identity, provider reach, resource access, credentials,
runtime generation, and exact source before provider effects. Keep
private responses private. Never send raw reasoning, private logs,
credentials, or tool arguments.
- Hold uncertain sends for explicit audited resolution. Make Board
Send-to-channel atomic and idempotent. Keep reconnect and setup
credentials in Paperclip secret storage.
- Preserve current native-runner authority across retries, lost
acknowledgements, and recovery. Keep immutable input and completion
contracts separate from newer user input. Receipt reconciliation cannot
launch a provider.
- Reconcile chat close/new ordering and provider-effect lock order.
Audit resource access changes in the same transaction. Submit only the
selected resource from each UI toggle so stale pages cannot undo
unrelated access changes.
- Drain Codex stdout before certifying process exit. Bound the drain
with the existing shutdown grace. Preserve observed terminal authority
without treating an undrained process as successful or reusable.
- Incorporate master `018ca5da` with its ACP Stop, mobile task layout,
runner packaging, and official lock changes. Preserve dedicated
chat-answer continuations in both directions when ordinary queued
comments are adopted after Stop.
- Fence late adapter readiness behind an earlier Stop for the same run.
Preserve verified cleanup for registered adapters. Handle single Stop,
agent pause, duplicate Stops, and failure release without creating a
false cancellation receipt.
- Incorporate master's `6dd48cad4` wake-queue extraction. Preserve exact
failed-chat retry authorization and lineage, retired question-source
suppression, and the block on generic recovery that would discard the
admitted source. Fresh deferred input retains its separate promotion
path.
- Incorporate master `2a05b5ed3` and its queue-admission extraction,
simplified transaction ports, and separate runner CI job. Preserve exact
durable receipts, actor separation, and dedicated-answer isolation
through the new module. A failed receipt insert rolls back the
accompanying deferred-wake merge.
## Verification
Current head: `afe19299d06253cb628eb398e91d1200ea9f412a`, incorporating
master `2a05b5ed3457ea33efd6895520447d1d97fe98d8`. The conflicts are
resolved. This successor fixes two test-harness boundaries exposed by
CI: per-case route-module preparation and actual durable-save completion
before intentional runner termination. Production code and all existing
test/turn deadlines are unchanged. [Exact-head Greptile
review](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13038#issuecomment-5587250594)
is **5/5**, completed September 10 at 13:20:55 UTC, with no actionable
findings or open review threads. [Fresh exact-head
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34481724341)
passes **all 24 jobs**, including Build and both required aggregates.
Normal exact-head guarded merge was attempted and rejected by the
remaining branch approval policy: CODEOWNER review is required and no
human approval is present. Normal **squash auto-merge is enabled** as of
September 10 at 13:36:26 UTC. Requested CODEOWNERS have been notified;
no approval bypass or self-approval was used. Earlier-head results below
remain historical evidence, not qualification of this successor.
- Final exact-head Linux evidence: 995/995 chat integration cases; 36/36
agent-skills routes; 35/35 runner live-session cases, including real
process kill/resume; 1948 runner Vitest cases with three existing
benchmark/platform guards; 870/870 API-authority cases; and 104 browser
cases with four existing optional skips. Rust, conformance/replay, full
repository build, typecheck, canary, all server/workspace shards, and
both required aggregates pass with normal CI concurrency. Earlier failed
attempts remain recorded below.
- Latest test-only qualification: 141/141
route/permissions/authentication cases pass in separate cold forks, with
plain server types and independent review clear. The real-runner suite
passes 35/35, with plain runner types and independent review clear. A
controlled premature-save acknowledgement fails as expected; matching
ownership/effect/process evidence, rejected saves, real turn outcome,
test abort, and pre-kill liveness are covered. No local reproduction of
the original CI scheduling failure is claimed. The preceding [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34479680858)
passes 21/24 jobs, including all 995 Linux chat cases and browser
aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional skips); only Build, the
skills serialized shard, and the required verification aggregate fail.
Its exact-head Greptile review was 5/5. Both failed job logs are
retained.
- Final fixture qualification: all eight focused Discord cases and all
995 chat integration cases pass. The exact modal statement/PID is
observed before taking the real connection lock; the test then proves
its actual blocking relationship before mutation. Original SQL
execution, provider behavior, negative assertions, and 1s/15s timeouts
remain unchanged. Independent review is clear and test/production hashes
remain frozen. The preceding [CI
attempt](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34477184777)
passed 22 jobs, including Build/runner, typecheck, canary, all other
test shards, and browser aggregate (104 passed, four existing optional
skips); the two fixture failures and failed verification aggregate
remain recorded, not relabeled as a pass.
- Current queue-module composition: 308/308 recovery/batching/queue/Stop
tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 89/89 module tests, including real
PostgreSQL receipt-insert rollback; 24/24 workflow/module-boundary
tests; plain server and UI types. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.4 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries,
stable reviewed source hashes. The initial boundary failure is retained;
its no-op service wrapper was removed without changing recovery context
or weakening the check. An exploratory standalone test-directory
typecheck fails because its new upstream transformation config is not a
standalone typechecking project; standard CI/build does not invoke it,
and no configuration was weakened to suppress those diagnostics.
- The preceding head `e02a63d462ce5d47433b0aeb632bb6fd20aab1ba` passed
[all 24 CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34436462958)
and exact-head Greptile review at 5/5. Required CODEOWNER review
prevented its normal merge before master advanced again.
- Final extracted-module composition: 307/307 recovery, batching, queue
and Stop-control tests; 995/995 full chat integration; 49/49 module
tests including eight PostgreSQL adapter cases; and 19/19 issue-update
tests. Plain server types pass. All four actual local process/ACP
browser paths pass in 1.3 minutes. Fresh databases, no skips or retries
in these cohorts, frozen source hashes, and independent review clear.
- The preceding head `3e4e1c1c` passes [all PR CI
jobs](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34415826820),
including Build and required `ci / verify` and `ci / e2e`. Both the
original Rust failure and the previously load-sensitive lineage fixture
pass with unchanged Linux concurrency. Master advanced afterward and
required this reconciliation.
- Final master composition: 448/448 focused UI tests, 186/186 adapter
tests, 24/24 queue/control tests, and 11/11 packaging tests. Plain UI,
server, shared, and adapter types pass. Token gates and diff checks
pass. Independent server and UI reviews are clear.
- Stop-registration regression: both real-service cases fail against
exact `a95` source and pass with the fix. The full corrected
recovery/control suite passes 265/265. Duplicate-owner and failed-Stop
controls also pass. Plain server types pass. The readiness barrier
prevents provider startup without adding an acknowledgment to an already
terminal run.
- Final qualification strengthens terminal-field equality and repeats
both affected cases successfully on a fresh database. All four actual
local process/ACP browser paths pass again in 1.3 minutes, without skips
or retries. The final screenshot shows Cancelled, a paused subtree,
retained input, and no error toast.
- Two new actual-service regressions fail before the merge fix. They
prove that queued-comment adoption could consume a dedicated chat answer
or add unrelated input to that answer. The fixed four-case cohort
passes, including ordinary upstream continuation and adapter Stop
controls. Full recovery passes 257/257. All four actual local
process/ACP Stop browser flows pass in 1.4 minutes, without skips or
retries, on a fresh database.
- The unchanged runner artifact was qualified with 171/171 transport
tests, 870/870 API-authority tests, conformance 1/1, and replay 11/11.
Six controlled reader tests prove the exit/drain repair. Its local
serial Rust workspace passed 546 top-level cases plus two invoked
helpers; the later passing Linux CI supplies default-concurrency
evidence.
- Prior exact-source full chat integration passes 995/995. Settings
regressions cover concurrent stale pages, 501 destinations, pending
state, rejected updates, and explicit retry. These deterministic tests
do not prove live provider behavior.
- Retained failed attempts and their causes are in the [qualification
log](afe19299d0/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-chat-queue-and-webhook-repair.md).
The first merge adapter run timed out while macOS slept for 290 seconds.
Its unchanged repeat passed with a temporary sleep guard. No assertion,
deadline, or CI gate was weakened.
Review commands include `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest
run src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts
src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` and `pnpm exec
playwright test --config tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts
tests/e2e/acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts`. Database suites require fresh
disposable databases. See the [browser
runbook](afe19299d0/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-04-chat-adapters-browser-e2e-runbook.md)
for provider setup and separate live acceptance steps.
## Risks
- This remains experimental. Deterministic tests and bounded live
evidence do not establish every provider feature, tenant, permission
layout, or media shape. Teams work-tenant qualification is still open.
- Failed and uncertain provider effects remain visible and can require
operator action. A transport receipt does not prove recipient
visibility.
- Native controller and runner artifacts must remain compatible.
Preserve lease ownership, terminal authority, source binding, and
quarantine during future changes.
- Access and audit rows commit together, but activity notifications
remain best-effort. This is not a new durable event outbox.
- The PR operation does not deploy a live server, replace its runner, or
change provider permissions. Remaining live qualification is documented
in the [temporary
handoff](afe19299d0/doc/plans/chat-adapters/2026-09-08-open-qualification-followups.md).
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex assisted with implementation, tool execution, testing, and
review. The work records `gpt-6-astra` assistance. The environment does
not report a context-window size. No private reasoning traces are
included.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task controls coordinate provider execution and queued user
messages.
> - Stop could finish before an embedded ACP provider stopped its tools.
> - A later request could be held for reconciliation without a clear
task response.
> - A restored provider could also retain the stopped run's API
credential.
> - This pull request verifies provider termination and preserves safe
session continuation.
> - Operators can continue known-safe work and see why uncertain work
cannot start.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Stop could leave an embedded ACP provider running. A queued follow-up
followed by “go” could fail before it reached the provider. Task chat
could show a generic missing-response message. Even a restored session
could use the previous run's credential and fail its task update.
**Expected behavior**
Stop waits for confirmed provider termination. A later explicit wake
continues the same compatible session only when recorded actions have
known outcomes. It carries pending comments and the current run's
environment. Uncertain actions retain a visible reconciliation hold.
Composer Stop preserves the existing pause rule: conversation can
continue while paused, but task work requires Resume.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an embedded ACP task.
2. Send a second request while the provider is running.
3. Interrupt the run, then send “go”. Also test composer Stop followed
by Resume work.
4. Check that the request is delivered once and that the provider can
complete the task through the current run's API credential.
5. Repeat with an unfinished write. Confirm that the write stops and
that further execution stays blocked with a visible reason.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Built from source on master at `3bc60dd8b` plus this branch.
**Deployment mode**
Local source build with an isolated embedded PostgreSQL instance.
Refs #11183. Refs #12552. Those changes address recovery after operator
cancellation. This change also covers embedded ACP termination, session
proof, pending-comment delivery, and task feedback.
## What Changed
- Propagate Stop into embedded ACP and wait for bounded adapter cleanup
and provider exit. Retain the actual ChildProcess object for forced
termination on all platforms; never signal a recycled numeric PID.
- Preserve interrupted checkpoints only for acknowledged, local,
persistent sessions with settled reads or no tools. Keep writes,
incomplete actions, and forced termination blocked.
- Restore the same compatible provider session with the current run's
environment. Reject fresh-session fallback for an interrupted
checkpoint.
- Adopt pending comments on the next explicit wake. Stop alone does not
dispatch them.
- Share the execution-blocker rule across dispatch, Resume, and task
detail. Show Stopped or Couldn't start with the recorded reason. Resolve
the stopped agent for the run link, including reviewer runs.
- Keep execution reconciliation holds intact when generic recovery sees
queued comments or healthy child tasks.
- Add process, service, component, and browser regression coverage. Fix
disposable database cleanup and React test settling exposed by the full
suite.
## Verification
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm
check:token-gates`.
- Passed all three `acp-stop-continuation.spec.ts` browser journeys.
They use an actual ACP child process and require task completion through
the agent API.
- Passed 165 adapter execution, operator-stop, and child-process control
tests, 17 queued-comment route tests, and 65 tests in the two adjusted
UI suites. Earlier focused recovery, heartbeat, and task-control tests
also passed.
- Manually used the browser to queue a request, Stop, send “go” while
paused, and Resume. The same session answered once and moved the task to
Done with the current run's credential.
- Manually interrupted an unfinished write. Its file size stayed fixed
for five seconds. “Go” showed the reconciliation reason and did not
start another provider prompt.
- Separate live Claude ACP smoke checks confirmed that Stop ended a
disposable local write and that a no-tool interruption could resume the
exact provider session. The browser fixture does not call Drive or
another external app.
- Passed all 5,615 UI tests and 3,090 other workspace tests. The CLI and
general server groups pass with targeted retries: two transient server
failures passed together on retry, and two embedded-database startup
failures passed after removing abandoned shared-memory segments from
this task's completed browser fixtures. All 144 serialized server suites
completed, with 2,189 tests passing after two transient HTTP socket
failures passed on retry.
- Passed all 135 heartbeat process/recovery tests, including a
deterministic regression that failed before the recovery-sweep fix.
- Passed 18 dispatch integration tests, including stopped-reviewer
links, company boundaries, and malformed run IDs.
- Greptile is 5/5 on `7dd170d83`, with zero unresolved review threads.
The security scan and all required CI gates pass for the same commit.
## Risks
- Safe continuation depends on complete tool reporting and a restorable
local provider session. Unknown outcomes remain blocked and require
reconciliation.
- Provider cleanup can take time. A timeout does not grant replay
permission.
- The change adds optional adapter context fields and an optional issue
projection. It does not change the database schema or require a
migration.
- Test cleanup truncates company data only in a disposable test
database.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6, running as Codex with repository tools, code execution,
and browser interaction. The runtime does not expose a more specific
model deployment ID or context-window size.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs Codex locally and in remote sandboxes.
> - The runner must preserve startup configuration and session identity.
> - Missing project trust can disable repository configuration.
> - Full-history requests use deprecated provider fields.
> - Resume usage describes old work and must not become new run usage.
> - This change corrects startup trust, state reads, and usage
classification.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Normal Codex runs could show repository-trust and history-deprecation
warnings.
Resume could report the preceding turn's token snapshot as a late-turn
warning.
The historical last-usage value could also be attributed to the new run.
**Expected behavior**
Trust the server-selected startup root in isolated configuration. Read
lightweight
provider state and paginated evidence. Use historical cumulative usage
as a
baseline without a new charge or user-facing warning.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a native Codex task in a selected repository.
2. Finish the turn and resume the provider thread.
3. Inspect provider notices, history requests, and per-run usage.
4. Repeat startup and cold resume inside a Daytona sandbox.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Codex CLI 0.153.4 is the pinned runtime and reproduced baseline.
Replayed onto master at 6abeb6733. Related authority work: Refs #13092.
This PR retains its startup cleanup and protocol-integrity checks.
**Deployment mode**
Local source checkout and disposable Daytona sandbox.
## What Changed
- Classify the exact historical resume usage event before the generic
stale-turn warning.
- Persist cumulative usage baselines across recovery of the same run.
- Use excludeTurns on resume and lightweight thread reads.
- Page turn metadata and selected turn items with cursor and identity
validation.
- Reject unsupported or incomplete history instead of guessing that
execution is idle.
- Trust the startup execution root on its host, including Git worktree
trust keys.
- Start Codex in that root and retain the selected sandbox profile on
later turns.
- Keep unrelated isolated configuration and Codex's separate hook trust
policy.
- Add Rust, TypeScript, accounting, native integration, and local
run-log documentation.
## Verification
- Codex and native-transport TypeScript: 333 passed before PR replay.
- Adjacent OpenCode/ACPX driver and accounting tests: 49 passed.
- Rust library, serialized: 226 passed. Native Codex integration: 72
passed, 1 ignored, plus two pagination regressions.
- Repository typecheck and build passed. All repository test groups have
passing coverage after fixture and resource retests; the initial
monolithic command was not clean.
- Fresh real Codex native browser tasks returned correct answers without
the three targeted notices. Answers persisted after refresh and restart.
- Real same-thread TypeScript driver tests passed locally and in
Daytona, including cold resume, configuration, skills, and an approved
harmless hook.
- Local usage summed to 64,607 tokens. Daytona usage summed to 42,737
tokens. Each sum matched its final session total exactly.
- See doc/plans/2026-09-09-codex-integration-acceptance.md for the scope
and limits of the live tests.
- After replay onto current master and review fixes: 334 Codex, backend,
and live-session tests passed, including checkpoint serialization and
real-runner process restart. TypeScript checks passed.
- The native Codex integration run passed 83 tests; the large lineage
test passed separately with the release runner (its debug build exceeded
the test deadline).
- All GitHub checks passed on the final PR head. Greptile is 5/5 with no
unresolved review threads. CI regenerates the lockfile for the added
TOML dependency, per repository policy.
- The first server shard hit a timing-dependent duplicate-key failure in
the unchanged artifact-document concurrency test. Its focused 11-test
suite passed locally. One CI retry on the same head passed all 103 files
and 1,405 tests (2 skipped): [retry
result](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34398832930/job/102631274667).
## Risks
- Trust applies only to the server-selected startup root and isolated
configuration. Sandbox and tool permissions remain authoritative.
- Codex still requires approval of individual hook hashes. This change
does not bypass that policy.
- Providers without the required history APIs fail explicitly.
- Daytona acceptance used the production TypeScript driver. Remote
Paperclip UI and remote Rust execution were not tested.
- No new public API, database state, recovery policy, or UI control is
included.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 (`gpt-6-astra`). Used for reasoning, code edits,
tool use,
and test execution. The exact context-window limit is not exposed in
this
session. Real-provider acceptance used Codex CLI 0.153.4 with
`gpt-5.6-sol`.

Keep receiving provider events after paperclip_finish, drain pending event persistence, and select the final assistant answer after the provider turn ends. Preserve cancellation, failure, and governed-wait behavior.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages agents that must write work and report task
outcomes through its API.
> - Local adapters select an execution engine and its permission
settings.
> - A higher ACP Node requirement can make an unchanged installation
lose access to its default engine.
> - The adapter then silently selects CLI, which can change permissions
and block API access.
> - This pull request keeps the engine choice fixed and reports missing
prerequisites before work starts.
> - It also gives explicit Codex CLI runs usable defaults and keeps
managed services on a supported Node runtime.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12215. Related changes: #11792 raised the Node requirement; #13094
addressed separate runner networking behavior. This change fixes the
engine-selection and managed-launcher paths.
**What happened?**
An unchanged agent could switch from ACP to CLI after an upgrade. Codex
CLI then used read-only permissions with networking disabled. The run
could finish without updating its task. Repeated recovery attempts used
the same unavailable setup. Managed updates also skipped the Node check
and did not refresh old launchers.
**Expected behavior**
An unavailable engine must fail with a clear setup error. It must not
silently select another engine. Explicit CLI runs must be able to write
workspace files and call the API unless the operator configures stricter
settings. Managed updates must validate Node and keep child tools on
that runtime.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run an ACP-default agent under Node 22 after the ACP minimum rises to
24.11.
2. Leave the engine unset and disable the approval/sandbox bypass.
3. Observe the old adapter select CLI and fail to write task disposition
through the API.
4. Start a managed service with an old launcher and a supervisor PATH
that selects a different Node for child tools.
## What Changed
- Remove automatic engine fallback for Codex, Claude, Gemini, and Kimi.
Check prerequisites for default and explicit ACP selections.
- Return a configuration error with proof that provider work did not
start. Stop automatic continuation retries for this error.
- Enable Codex ACP workspace networking at the actual turn boundary.
Upstream mode presets otherwise force it off even when config.toml
enables it. Preserve explicit network denial and read-only mode.
- Set workspace-write and network access defaults for explicit Codex CLI
runs. Preserve explicit sandbox modes, profiles, and network
restrictions.
- Pin the validated Node directory in managed launcher PATH. Refresh
legacy launchers during installs and npm/Git updates.
- Reject updates on unsupported Node. Keep update checks, dry runs, and
rollback available.
- Synchronize the qualified Codex ACP executable identity across server,
TypeScript runner, Rust runner, and provider-pack launch paths.
- Add regression tests and update engine and installation documentation.
## Verification
- [Full CI passed on the final
head](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34387099695):
typecheck, build/native runner verification, all general and serialized
test shards, all browser shards, release registry, canary dry run, and
policy checks.
- Greptile: 5/5 on `2c1d6e2815830a5cd39e36c8a082cc0c4441b6c0`, with no
unresolved review findings. Security gates are green.
- Full workspace typecheck and build also passed locally. The final
deployed Linux build passed.
- Full Codex, Claude, Gemini, and Kimi source test suites: 804 passed, 2
skipped. Installer, updater, and launcher tests: 47 passed. Installed
ACP turn-boundary tests: 3 passed. ACP packaging tests: 14 passed.
Focused recovery classification tests also passed.
- Real Linux Codex CLI runs, both fresh and resumed, wrote a workspace
file and reached the control-plane health API with the new defaults.
- Explicit read-only and network-disabled control probes retained those
restrictions.
- A real ACP run on the final deployed Linux build wrote a file and
reached the control-plane API with HTTP 200, without engine fallback.
The same probe failed DNS before the turn-policy patch.
- Executable-identity and installed-policy contracts: 12 passed.
Affected native server tests: 197 passed. Runner factory tests: 21
passed. Rust qualification and native provider integration tests: 11
passed.
- Deployed the production changes to a Linux service on Node 24.20 after
a verified database backup. Health, bootstrap readiness, static UI,
executable/cwd identity, and guarded restart checks passed. The restart
lost no runs.
- Corrected stale Kimi skill-default and Gemini remote-archive fixtures;
both suites pass.
## Risks
- Default or legacy auto engine settings now fail when ACP is
unavailable. Operators who intend to use CLI must select it explicitly.
- Codex CLI now permits workspace writes and networking by default, and
ACP workspace-write turns permit networking by default. Explicit
operator sandbox settings remain authoritative.
- Old managed launchers keep their pinned Node until they are
reinstalled under a supported runtime. An old updater cannot repair
itself; the documentation gives the current installer command.
- Custom service wrappers and global/source installations must configure
their runtime PATH. No database migration is required.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository inspection,
shell execution, and test tools. The exact serving model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The task composer is where operators direct running agents.
> - Operators need to stop work without leaving the conversation.
> - Existing pause controls already hold task trees and interrupt both
runner types.
> - This pull request connects the composer to those controls and
removes repeated feedback.
> - Operators can pause work quickly and still queue messages while
agents run.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Task pause, resume, and cancellation in the task page and composer.
**Current behavior**
The empty composer cannot stop a running task. Task controls require
extra confirmation and reason text. Pause can show several notifications
for the task already on screen.
**Proposed behavior**
Show Stop while this task runs and the composer is empty. Text or
attachments switch it to Send. Stop and the menu use the same manual
pause hold. Parent pauses include descendants. Keep task cancellation in
the menu with a compact confirmation. Show one quiet pause row and gray
cancelled-run details.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators can interrupt execution with one click. Drafts and queued
messages keep their existing behavior. The UI waits for actual
termination, including native cancellation acknowledgment.
**Breaking changes**
No endpoint, schema, or task-status change. Pause no longer asks for
confirmation or a reason. Resume now honors the existing wake-agents
option. Task notifications are suppressed for the task and subtree
currently in view.
Related UI work: #8228 changes navigation and composer shortcuts. This
PR covers execution controls. No duplicate Stop-button PR was found. The
change improves existing controls and does not duplicate a roadmap
milestone.
## What Changed
- Add Stop, pending feedback, duplicate-click protection, and inline
errors to the composer.
- Share the pause mutation across the composer, active-run controls, and
menu.
- Poll affected runs after a pause request. Require native cancellation
acknowledgment.
- Remove pause confirmation and shared reason fields. Reduce cancel
confirmation to its task count and actions.
- Honor wake-agents for executable tasks only. Preserve the pause when
recovery review is needed; show partial wake failures inline.
- Preserve explicit legacy reconciliation decisions while their
continuation waits for dispatch.
- Suppress notifications for visible task trees. Use quiet pause and
cancellation feedback.
- Add interactive stories using production controls and native/legacy
end-to-end tests.
## Verification
- User reviewed the running feature and revised Storybooks in the
browser.
- Rebased focused checks passed: 295 original targeted tests, 161
updated route/page/notification/status tests, and 26 recovery
integration tests.
- Both isolated runner journeys pass on the final revision (1.7
minutes). Coverage includes queueing, parent and child interruption,
persisted holds, no automatic continuation, reconciled resume,
cancellation, terminal exclusions, and no Stop toast.
- Native coverage uses real runnerd with a deterministic provider
fixture. Legacy coverage checks actual process termination. Live
hosted-provider execution was not tested.
- Repository typecheck and build, Storybook build, and token gates
passed after rebase. The final server typecheck/build also passed.
- The broad local run completed its general-server stage with 7,219
passing tests, 48 skipped, and two failures from cached pre-fix source
and a stale native provider fixture. Both failed tests pass in fresh
final-head reruns after rebuilding the fixture; the script did not
continue to its later local stages. CI runs all test groups on the final
revision.
- Final revision: all 31 applicable CI checks passed; Storybook visual
regression was skipped by its workflow conditions. Greptile: 5/5, zero
unresolved comments.
- Review `Tasks / Execution Controls` in Storybook. Type and clear a
draft, stop a run, expand cancellation details, and test the menu on
desktop and mobile.
## Risks
- Stop pauses descendants for a parent task. This is the existing pause
contract.
- A held task can remain active if interruption fails. The UI shows an
error instead of claiming termination.
- Resume can start multiple assignees when wake-agents is selected.
Backlog, blocked, and terminal tasks stay excluded. Existing execution
reconciliation remains mandatory where required; Resume never invents
action-outcome evidence.
- Notification suppression uses the visible task and cached subtree.
Notifications for unrelated work remain enabled.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact runtime snapshot and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
tool calls, code execution, and browser inspection.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip lets people manage agent work from tasks.
> - Agents can request app access in a task card.
> - Some apps first require Paperclip Cloud enrollment.
> - Enrollment could leave the task, and OAuth could lose the task
interaction ID.
> - This PR keeps enrollment in a separate window and retains the
interaction ID through OAuth.
> - The task can then recognize the connection and continue
automatically.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A first Gmail connection could leave the task dialog during Cloud
enrollment. Setup resumed on the Apps page. Gmail connected, but the
task card could remain pending because OAuth did not retain its
interaction ID.
**Expected behavior**
Keep the task open and preserve its access choices. Resolve the card
after the server verifies connection access. Continue the agent
automatically.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start a fresh source test-drive instance without Cloud enrollment.
2. Ask an agent to read Gmail.
3. Open Connect on the task card.
4. Complete Cloud enrollment and Gmail authorization.
5. Check whether the task card updates without selecting the connection
again.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on 35fdc0c66b. This branch
applies the fix to current master.
**Deployment mode**
Source test-drive in local-trusted mode. The shared setup code also
serves authenticated instances; live authenticated acceptance was not
performed.
Related PRs: #13058 introduced task connections. #12943 repaired expired
enrollment links. #12906 concerns Composio service matching and does not
fix this OAuth handoff.
## What Changed
- Open task enrollment in a reserved window, with a new-tab fallback.
- Refresh server enrollment status and the provider catalog while
keeping the task dialog and access choices.
- Return the enrollment callback to the verified task when available.
- Retain the interaction ID when OAuth resumes from the page host.
- Clear the server capability cache after enrollment and reject stale
cache writes.
- Close reserved popups on enrollment errors and invalid authorization
URLs.
- Add callback and setup regression tests, including blocked popups.
Update connection-intent documentation.
## Verification
- All 176 focused connector, enrollment, callback, OAuth, and setup
tests pass.
- Greptile gives commit `e58da6662` a 5/5 score. Both review threads are
resolved.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`, `pnpm build`, and `pnpm -r typecheck` pass.
- All CI checks pass for `e58da6662`, including the full test matrix,
browser tests, Runner verification, release registry, and canary dry
run.
- The serial local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after the complete CI
test matrix passed. It is not counted as a full local pass.
- Live browser test: fresh instance, native Codex runner, Gmail
read-only access, and a real Google account.
- Enrollment preserved the task dialog. The card changed to connected
and the agent called Gmail search and message-read tools without another
message or Run click.
- The connected card persisted after refresh. Google reused existing
consent during this attempt.
- The runner displayed only its completion summary. Full answer delivery
is a separate issue and is outside this PR.
## Risks
- Browsers can block or isolate authorization windows. The new-tab
fallback remains available, and the parent checks server state.
- Enrollment completion is only a prerequisite. It does not grant access
or resolve the task card by itself.
- No database migration, runner lifecycle change, or recovery UI is
included.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex (GPT-6), with code editing, shell tools, and browser
automation. The session does not expose an exact runtime model ID or
context-window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs agents for people with different GitHub accounts.
> - Managed operations must use the intended person's eligible
connection.
> - A failed duplicate connection must not hide a healthy grant for the
same account.
> - Legacy hosts also need their existing Git configuration when managed
access is not configured.
> - Runner networking and local Git operations must not depend on GitHub
broker availability.
> - This pull request separates those policies and improves failure
diagnostics.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?** New runs always cleared host Git credentials and
installed managed launchers. Network permission depended on GitHub
environment variables. A launcher failure could stop even local `git
status`. A newer unhealthy duplicate could take precedence over a
healthy connection, and generic health errors were shown as reconnect
requirements.
**Expected behavior:** Use a healthy eligible managed connection for the
intended account. Preserve host authentication only for unconfigured
standard-trust local or SSH execution. Permit local Git during broker
failures and keep network permission independent of GitHub credentials.
**Steps to reproduce:** Configure healthy and unhealthy grants for one
GitHub account, dispatch an agent, and execute Git commands. Separately
run an unconfigured legacy host with existing GitHub CLI authentication.
Stop the broker and run local `git status`.
**Paperclip version or commit:** Master at 668110469. **Deployment
mode:** Self-hosted. **Installation method:** Git checkout. **Agent
adapters involved:** Native Codex runner and shared adapter execution
setup. **Database mode:** Existing instance database; no migration.
**Access context:** Responsible person's managed grant, or explicitly
unconfigured legacy host. **Node.js version:** 26.4.0 locally.
**Operating system:** macOS development and Linux execution hosts.
**Relevant logs or output:** Previously `GitHub credential context
unavailable` hid configuration, transport, and capability errors. New
diagnostics identify these categories without credential values.
**Additional context:** Refs #13005 and #13022. Dependency provisioning
is addressed separately in #13093.
## What Changed
- Prefer healthy eligible grants and retry credential acquisition once
for the same principal and account before starting an operation.
- Preserve host Git configuration only when managed access is
unconfigured on a standard-trust local or SSH target.
- Project authentication mode and validated Git metadata into native
runner boundaries; refresh resumed provider settings when modes change.
- Enable network access through an explicit standard-trust controller
decision, independently of GitHub. Omitted or restricted decisions stay
disabled; replace warm providers when that decision changes.
- Run local Git with cleared credentials when the managed broker fails,
with specific redacted diagnostics.
- Retry access-refresh conflicts once without treating concurrency as
expired authorization.
- Show retry instead of reconnect for transient GitHub health failures.
Add optional authorization and run-diagnostic fields without a database
migration.
## Verification
- All latest-head CI gates are green, including typecheck, general and
serialized suites, browser tests, canary, native runner verification,
and build. Greptile is 5/5 with no remaining findings; the security scan
passed.
- Full recursive typecheck and build passed. UI token gates passed.
- Full general server run: 7,110 passed, one transient socket hangup;
that file passed on retry. All remaining workspace groups passed,
including 5,552 UI and 478 CLI tests. The complete serialized rerun
passed all 144 suites / 2,179 tests after the initial isolated timeout
passed on retry.
- 195 final launcher and native session tests passed, including
host/managed transitions, local/remote warm network-policy changes,
broker rotation, and attempts to override validated controller
filesystem roots.
- GitHub gateway fallback, duplicate connection selection, refresh
conflicts, per-user reauthorization, and native transport/security
suites passed.
- Additional live native fixtures passed SSH public-key authentication
and a Git credential helper in fresh and resumed host-mode sessions. An
unwritable managed configuration directory preserved local Git (exit 0)
while GitHub CLI failed with `configuration_directory_unavailable` (exit
4). The temporary SSH listener and keys were removed.
- Applicable Rust suites passed except two timing failures under load;
each failed case passed in isolation. The final environment contract
test passed.
- Linux native runner acceptance passed in both managed and legacy host
modes: DNS, HTTPS, npm package download, fresh-worktree Git status,
authenticated GitHub user lookup, repository read, and a new run
continuing the same provider conversation. Managed broker outage
preserved local Git and rejected authenticated access without host
fallback.
- Matching Linux server/runner artifacts and the separate provisioning
repair are deployed to the development instance. A fresh UI-dispatched
task and a new run after a server restart both passed all six shell
checks through the live controller and credential broker. Both runs
selected the expected healthy connection/grant and retained the same
provider conversation. Neither connection was repaired or reconnected.
The sandbox roots are assigned from the validated execution-target probe
**after** ordinary bindings are merged. Regression coverage supplies
forged roots and verifies they cannot override the controller paths.
Networking is enabled only for an explicit
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_NETWORK_ACCESS=enabled` controller decision; omitted
values remain disabled.
## Risks
Unconfigured standard-trust local and SSH runs regain access to host Git
authentication resources. Managed, sandbox, plugin, and low-trust runs
do not gain this fallback. Revoked managed access never falls back to
another account. Deploy server and runner artifacts together;
already-started operations retain their captured identity. An
unauthenticated command can still fail when it requires GitHub access.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip runs agent work in isolated worktrees.
> - Each worktree needs dependencies that match its source and patches.
> - A failed install currently loses its exit status after an `if`
statement.
> - The provisioner can then record a successful dependency fingerprint.
> - This pull request preserves failures and bounds lockfile recovery.
> - Agents receive a usable workspace or an accurate provisioning
failure.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?** A nonzero pnpm install could return success and save
a fingerprint. Patch changes alone also did not invalidate the
fingerprint.
**Expected behavior:** Fail provisioning on an unsuccessful install.
Retry known frozen-lockfile mismatches once and record success only
after installation succeeds.
**Steps to reproduce:** Run the provisioner in a worktree with a pnpm
install that exits nonzero. The regression suite uses real shell
execution and a controlled pnpm fixture.
**Paperclip version or commit:** Reproduced on master before this
change. **Deployment mode:** Self-hosted. **Installation method:** Git
checkout. **Agent adapters involved:** Core workspace provisioning.
**Database mode:** Not relevant. **Access context:** Execution host.
**Node.js version:** 26.4.0 locally; supported minimum remains
unchanged. **Operating system:** macOS locally and Linux execution
hosts.
**Relevant logs or output:** `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH`,
`ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE`, and ordinary installation failures.
**Additional context:** Related lockfile maintenance: #13061. No
lockfile or workflow changes are included.
## What Changed
- Capture the failed install status inside the `else` branch.
- Use the existing single retry for both frozen-lockfile mismatch
errors.
- Include patch contents in the dependency fingerprint.
- Add executable regression coverage and document the behavior.
## Verification
- All CI checks passed, including build, typecheck, tests, browser
suites, canary dry run, and security scans. Greptile: 5/5 with no
remaining findings.
- `node --test scripts/__tests__/provision-worktree-self-heal.test.mjs`:
19 passed; one existing test requires Linux flock and was skipped on
macOS.
- `bash -n scripts/provision-worktree.sh` and `git diff --check` passed.
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed in the companion runner-fix
worktree at the same base revision. This change only touches shell
provisioning, its tests, and documentation.
- CI and review are pending.
## Risks
The existing non-frozen recovery can update a worktree-local lockfile.
Committed lockfile updates remain bot-owned. Ordinary failures now
correctly stop provisioning and may expose previously hidden
installation problems.

are not exposed in this session.

Make task recovery durable and preserve the latest user request across native and legacy continuations. Keep routine recovery quiet and prevent replay when action outcomes are uncertain.
Co-Authored-By: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
Bring governed connection reviews into task history and composer approvals. Share resolution with Connections, add scoped remembered permissions, and resume agents through durable outcome receipts.
Keep cards compact, collapse raw results, isolate untrusted provider output, bound continuation payloads, and reconcile missed live events. Add Storybook coverage, browser journeys, and service regression tests.
Verification: all PR CI gates passed, Greptile 5/5, security scans passed, five connection-review browser journeys passed, and real native Codex approval/continuation was verified against the local MCP fixture.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Converting an existing Claude agent to Paperclip Runner failed with a
Codex-only restriction. ACPX Claude showed unrelated models and required
`claude-sonnet-5`. Its native runtime rejected macOS. Configuration
mixed common model settings with process controls. Artifact cards
labeled “Open gallery” navigated to attachment URLs instead of opening
the task gallery.
**Expected behavior**
Conversion keeps agent identity and compatible settings. ACPX Claude
uses the normal Claude catalog and accepts typed model IDs. Codex uses
the native runner. The verified Claude runtime can launch on macOS ARM64
and x64. Common configuration sections place the same fields together
across adapters. Artifact images open in the shared task gallery with
navigation and downloads.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the configuration of an existing Claude agent.
2. Convert it to Paperclip Runner.
3. Select ACPX Claude and a different catalog model or a typed model ID.
4. Save the agent and run a disposable task on macOS.
5. Inspect configuration and advanced run-policy controls across
adapters.
**Paperclip version or commit**
The bugs were reproduced on `165ca56a22adb60e5fda56045442d9c8498116a8`.
This branch was rebased onto `7ed122911`.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. Local test-drive instance on macOS ARM64 with an
isolated database.
Related work: #11798 addresses unsupported ACP session options in the
existing adapter path. #13048 addresses working-folder preservation.
This change fixes native runner configuration and launch behavior.
## What Changed
- Remove the Codex-only conversion restriction. Preserve agent identity,
instructions, directories, credentials, and compatible model settings.
Reset incompatible sessions while retaining history.
- Show ACPX Claude and native Codex as distinct provider choices. Remove
ACPX Codex from advertised configuration. Normalize legacy
configurations before fresh runs without rewriting historical run
descriptors.
- Select model catalogs and cache entries by provider. Support refresh
and typed model IDs. Pass exact Claude IDs through session creation,
model changes, and recovery.
- Add verified macOS ARM64 and x64 Claude SDK snapshots. Bound
executable allocation and total snapshot size. Preserve package checks,
dependency isolation, process ownership, cancellation, and Linux
descriptor loading.
- Probe local runtime readiness. Report remote platform checks as
incomplete until the remote runner verifies its runtime.
- Surface actual model rejection and allow correction and retry.
- Repair missing ACPX goal-capability helpers exposed by the post-rebase
live test. Persist and restore the optional capability without breaking
session startup.
- Put Agent identity first and intentionally remove the Capabilities
editor, as requested. This is removal of UI editing, not relocation:
preserve existing capability metadata and API compatibility without
adding another editor. Use the themed select for configurable permission
modes, with normal text instead of monospace.
- Put model and provider under Adapter. Give environment variables their
own section. Fold command and arguments under Configuration. Fold
lifecycle, timeout, and interrupt grace under Advanced Run Policy. Hide
single-option permission controls.
- Open image and video artifact cards in the existing task gallery,
including cards in the artifacts panel. Chat attachment images use the
same gallery. Preserve standalone media previews and download links.
## Verification
- Rebased focused UI/API/database suites: 293 tests passed.
- Rebased native runtime and ACPX suites: 242 passed, 7 skipped.
- Repository typecheck, build, and token gates passed for the runner
changes. Gallery follow-up UI typecheck, build, and token gates also
passed.
- Follow-up UI suites passed (86 tests), packaging checks passed (14
tests), and the final focused runtime suites passed (126 passed, 7
skipped).
- Linux container isolation and lifecycle fixtures passed before rebase
(57 passed, 2 skipped). Rust ACPX provider-session tests passed after
rebase (8 tests).
- Browser tests completed actual Claude and native Codex tasks on macOS
ARM64. They covered conversion, catalog refresh, a non-default catalog
model, a typed `haiku` ID, save/reload, cancel, follow-up session
continuity, invalid-model errors, and recovery.
- Final-revision live tests completed a typed Claude task, a follow-up
with the same provider session, and a native Codex task on macOS ARM64.
- Browser tests confirmed the moved interrupt-grace field saves and
survives reload. Cross-adapter tests cover Claude, Codex, Gemini,
process, gateway, and schema forms.
- Full local run: 7,080 passed, 30 skipped, and two timeouts. Both
timeout suites passed on isolated rerun (84 tests); the failures were
the plugin login-worker exit diagnostic and the runner real-server
vertical slice.
- Final follow-up checks: 50 registry tests and 45 snapshot/installation
tests passed (6 platform-specific skips). Oversized executable rejection
is covered before allocation or reading; unsupported-platform tests
invoke the real installation probe.
- Runner head `ddb5101c483a297f74875ab96b3c66035b002d50`: all CI gates
green, including full runner verification, repository build, typecheck,
general/serialized server suites, browser tests, and canary dry run. [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34286178670).
- Greptile: 5/5 on that runner head. All four review threads resolved.
Superagent, Socket, and Snyk checks green.
- After snapshot hardening, another real Claude task completed on this
Mac using the rebuilt runtime.
- Gallery follow-up: 148 focused tests passed, covering artifact
selection, shared attachment collections, deduplication, image/video
cards, standalone previews, downloads, and closing. Live browser
verification completed on the settings follow-up: artifact selection,
6-image pagination with wrapping, download action, and closing all
stayed on the same task URL. All checks passed on gallery head
`96136da58ff195bf6ca00b281eb3022ad12d7bd8`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34287987536).
Greptile returned 5/5 on that exact head with no unresolved threads.
- Final settings polish: 96 focused tests, UI typecheck/build, and token
gates passed. A real browser walkthrough verified readable permission
options, identity placement, Capabilities removal, and permission
save/reload. Original test-agent permission mode restored. All 31 checks
passed on final head `e46540d6bf32bfb0566dca16b2f4a75ba437618c`: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34292797886).
Greptile returned 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
## Risks
- Capabilities intentionally has no editable UI field after this change.
Existing values remain readable and API-compatible; removing the field
does not erase stored metadata.
- macOS launch now copies verified package files into private snapshots.
The implementation must retain isolation and clean up snapshots on exit.
- Runtime provider or model changes reset the current session.
Historical runs remain available.
- The macOS x64 SDK executable digest was verified, but a live Intel Mac
run was not available. Linux verification used container fixtures, not a
real Claude task.
- Remote environment tests report a warning when only the platform has
been checked. They do not claim package readiness from the server host.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6. The exact served model identifier and
context-window limit are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
repository inspection, code execution, Rust and TypeScript tests, and
browser automation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip runs agents in local and remote sandboxes through adapter
utilities
> - The HTTP/2 sandbox bridge decoded every body as UTF-8 text and
rejected non-JSON content
> - This stopped agents from uploading or downloading issue attachments
through that bridge
> - This pull request carries raw bytes, permits the two attachment
routes, and enforces a shared body limit
> - The benefit is correct attachment transfer with a process-wide
memory guard
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The HTTP/2 sandbox bridge forwards request bodies between an agent
sandbox and the Paperclip host. It now supports binary bodies and the
issue attachment routes.
**Current behavior**
The bridge decodes each body as UTF-8 text. It returns HTTP 415 for
content types outside the JSON route list. An agent cannot upload or
download an issue attachment through this transport.
**Proposed behavior**
The bridge carries raw bytes through the forward path. It permits the
attachment upload and content routes. The queue transport and file
gateway keep their existing route behavior. A shared 10 MiB body limit
and process-wide byte reservation protect memory use.
**Reason and benefit**
Attachment clients need byte-preserving transfer. The shared limit keeps
the gateway and host aligned. The reservation prevents concurrent
streams from exceeding the accepted process memory ceiling.
**Breaking changes**
The HTTP/2 bridge accepts two attachment routes and permits binary
content. The queue transport and file gateway keep their previous route
lists and HTTP 415 behavior. No schema or external endpoint changes.
## What Changed
- Carry request and response bodies as raw bytes through the HTTP/2
bridge.
- Permit attachment upload and attachment content routes on the HTTP/2
bridge only.
- Raise the resolved per-body limit to 10 MiB and share it between the
gateway and host.
- Reserve body bytes before allocation and release each stream
reservation on every terminal path.
- Document the body limit, process ceiling, and reservation behavior.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run
packages/adapter-utils/src/http2-bridge-server.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/execution-target-sandbox.test.ts
packages/adapter-utils/src/sandbox-callback-bridge.test.ts`; 226 tests
pass.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck`; it passes.
- Run the direct server TypeScript check with `tsc --noEmit` in
`server/`; it passes with zero errors.
- Verify multipart upload and binary download round trips over HTTP/2
without corruption.
- Verify the queue transport and file gateway return HTTP 415 for the
same routes.
- Verify the host rejects bodies over the resolved limit.
- Verify a denied reservation returns HTTP 503 and allocates no copy.
- Verify stream cleanup releases reservations after completion, error,
abort, timeout, and close.
## Risks
The bridge now accepts larger bodies and binary content. The
process-wide reservation limits total live body bytes to 1 GiB. Route
behavior changes only for the HTTP/2 bridge. The security review found
no blocking issue for this commit range.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime used tool calls and code execution. The
runtime did not expose the context window size. No model-generated code
changes were made for this pull request.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Agents use connections to reach external services.
> - A fresh native task can have no service tools installed.
> - The agent needs a way to discover services and ask the responsible
person for access.
> - This pull request brings the existing connection-intent flow into
native task execution.
> - The person can connect from the task, and the agent can continue
with updated tools.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Native runner tool authority, connection intents, task interactions, and
shared connection setup.
**Problem or motivation**
A task that needs an unconnected service cannot finish its work. Leaving
the task to configure access also loses context. A resolved request must
survive a restart and resume the correct agent once.
**Proposed solution**
Expose connection discovery and access requests as server-owned native
tools. Render a durable task card and use the shared setup dialog.
Persist outcome delivery and start a fresh provider session after access
is ready.
**Alternatives considered**
Sending the person to the Connections page adds navigation and does not
solve continuation. Polling for authorization consumes runs and can
create duplicate requests.
**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the existing connection-intent runtime and setup
experience. It reuses the shared access model and the native runner.
Related: #12345, #12347. The service-slug fix in #12906 is related but
separate. Companion evaluation PR:
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/pull/21.
## What Changed
- Expose `connections_search` and `connection_request` with server-bound
company, task, agent, and responsible user. Preserve the legacy entry
points.
- Discover catalog services and authorized custom connections. Check
installation, identity, health, and executable permissions before
reporting ready.
- Keep pending cards through ordinary messages. Reuse requests and
retire stale ownership. Put Connect at the right of Not now.
- Reuse the shared setup flow in a task dialog. Keep access additive and
default to the requesting agent. Recover from cancelled or blocked OAuth
windows with a new-tab fallback.
- Persist outcome delivery with an idempotent wake key. Resume in a
fresh session and recheck ownership before dispatch.
- Add native browser fixtures, offline Storybook states, server
contracts, and evaluation fixtures. Update guidance and documentation.
## Verification
- `pnpm build`: passed after replaying the change on current master.
- `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build-storybook`: passed.
- New continuation-policy regression cases: 16 passed.
- Docker-backed PostgreSQL regressions passed for requester-only OAuth
access, assignment-only expiry, terminal expiry, and credential-free
setup metadata.
- Shared setup and task-card UI tests: 121 passed, including configured
MCP reconnect URL recovery and preserving user edits across refetch.
- Storybook browser checks: all 119 passed on the latest reconnect fix.
- `pnpm test:run`: 4,734 tests passed in the first server group, but
embedded PostgreSQL startup failures and resulting cleanup errors
prevented a complete local pass. All Linux CI lanes passed on the latest
reviewed commit. One external-object route test returned an unexplained
500 on the first run; it passed twice locally and the failed shard
passed on retry without code changes.
- Earlier feature-checkout evidence: three deterministic native browser
journeys passed, including restart delivery and an actual fixture tool
result. Legacy scripted coverage also passed. All 59 added stories were
inspected in light and dark themes.
- Live Notion testing recorded successful provider reads. The manual
test used a local-trusted instance. It does not prove
authenticated/cloud deployment or every provider journey.
- Native browser rerun reached the embedded PostgreSQL startup limit
before bootstrap, so the latest checkout’s full native browser journey
remains unverified. Both OAuth page/task regression cases passed against
isolated Docker-backed PostgreSQL 17. They verify no premature task
access, requester-only completion, additive retries, and reconnect
preservation.
- Applied both new migrations twice to isolated PostgreSQL 17. Foreign
keys remained intact, duplicate active delivery keys were rejected, and
failed delivery records did not block retries.
Reviewer path: start a fresh test drive, enable the native runner, use
an agent that can perform work directly, and ask it to summarize a
Notion page. Connect from the card, then verify the resumed provider
call and source-linked answer. The default test-drive CEO is instructed
to delegate, so it can introduce an unrelated hiring step.
## Risks
- Two additive migrations create durable deliveries and a partial unique
wake index. They are idempotent. The wake index can require a
maintenance window on large tables because migrations run in a
transaction.
- OAuth and continuation cross asynchronous boundaries. Tests cover
ownership changes, retries, additive access, and restart delivery; live
provider behavior still varies.
- The latest requester-scope fix has not yet been exercised through live
OAuth. GitHub, API-key, authenticated-user, and all recovery journeys
are not claimed as verified.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6-based Codex assisted with implementation, tests, and review
using tools and code execution. The runtime does not expose the exact
model version, context window, or reasoning setting. Live evaluation
used `gpt-5.6-luna`; manual native testing used `gpt-5.6-sol`.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Operators create agents and configure their runtimes in the board
UI.
> - The old creation flow presents several choices and a large form
before an agent can start.
> - The existing onboarding controls already provide clear provider
connection steps.
> - This pull request uses those controls in a new-agent wizard and
organizes the full configuration pages.
> - Operators can connect, test, save, and assign a first task while
keeping the existing configuration tools.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related: #10974. That earlier open PR also reorganizes agent
configuration. This PR follows the reviewed Storybook designs for agent
creation and the current configuration tabs.
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
Agent creation, provider connection, runtime tests, and full agent
configuration.
**Current behavior**
The creation dialog leads to a large manual configuration form. Provider
login controls differ from onboarding. Environment variables and secret
access appear in separate places.
**Proposed behavior**
Choose a name and adapter. Connect Claude or Codex through the existing
onboarding controls. Configure and test the runtime, save the agent, and
open a task dialog with that agent assigned. Use the same design on the
existing configuration tabs.
**Reason and benefit**
The first setup asks for fewer decisions. The full editor keeps
instructions, skills, runtime controls, secret access, permissions,
keys, and revisions available in clear sections.
**Breaking changes**
The board creation and configuration layouts change. The
test-environment API adds an optional, allowlisted `testCredentials`
field for one-shot probes. Database contracts stay the same. Native ACPX
tests now reject unsupported local platforms before a CLI login can mask
the runtime restriction.
## What Changed
- Added a new-agent wizard with numbered steps, adapter branding,
provider connections, editable model choices, runtime tests, and
confirmation.
- Added Codex app-server, Claude ACPX, and OpenCode runner choices.
- Stored API credentials through existing secret APIs and persisted
references in agent configuration. New setup keys are isolated from
credentials used by existing agents.
- Preserved external-agent invitations beside the wizard, including
optional messages, one-time prompts, and clipboard fallback.
- Added OpenRouter provider and secret bindings for Pi and OpenCode.
- Added adapter-specific prerequisite fields for Cursor, Gemini, Kimi,
and Hermes. Cursor Cloud keys are saved as new organization secrets.
- Fixed Cursor Cloud repository field mapping, omitted empty remote
environment values, and added useful model and repository error
messages.
- Preserved complete MCP assignments when multiple valid profiles
contain more than 250 tools in total. Generated profiles retain exact
tool selectors.
- Added service branding and deployment-aware adapter choices. Cloud
setup offers Claude, Codex, and OpenCode; local native runners require
the experimental setting.
- Made the agent list responsive at intermediate widths.
- Applied the reviewed design to the real agent configuration pages.
Kept the instruction editor, skills, and existing mutations.
- Combined secret access and environment variables under one Save and
Discard action.
- Added interactive Storybook screens for setup, configuration,
confirmation, authentication, and test results.
- Fixed Pi provider-error parsing and thinking-effort persistence.
Native ACPX validates Linux x64 on the actual local, SSH, or sandbox
target.
- Redacted the complete transient probe-credential field from HTTP error
logs, including rejected provider names.
## Verification
- Current head `df0292fe6` has a fresh Greptile 5/5 review with no
unresolved findings. All 31 executed CI checks passed, including the
aggregate verification gate and all browser E2E shards. Storybook visual
regression is skipped by its workflow; the local Storybook build passed.
- Browser tests completed real assigned tasks with direct Codex, Claude,
OpenCode, Pi, and native Codex.
- Verified external-agent invitation generation and automatic prompt
copying in the live browser.
- Pi and OpenCode used an existing OpenRouter secret. Browser checks
covered save and reload, instruction edits, skill selection,
environment-variable Save and Discard, and assigned task creation.
- Invalid Claude API credentials remained on the connection step with an
error. A live Pi/OpenRouter invalid-key probe returned a provider
failure and left the user-secret inventory unchanged (zero entries
before and after).
- Full workspace typecheck and build passed after rebasing onto current
master. After review fixes, server and UI typechecks, token gates, and
the full build passed again. Storybook built successfully.
- All 5,542 local UI tests passed. The Cursor Cloud and Pi adapter
regressions passed all 24 tests. Review regressions passed 69 server
tests and all 18 agent-list tests.
- The local full test command ran 6,971 general server tests
successfully. Editing review fixes during that long run caused nine
tests to use stale modules; fresh isolated runs passed. An unrelated
embedded-Postgres fixture hit the host shared-memory limit; its 15
affected tests passed when the fixture groups ran separately.
- Local workspace groups passed after rerunning 18 CLI tests
sequentially to avoid host database limits and parallel-load timeouts.
The local full command stopped at the general server phase, so
serialized server verification comes from the five passing CI shards.
- Browser testing at 390px confirmed that the agent action menu opens
and the page has no horizontal overflow. CI browser E2E shards passed.
- Review the `Onboarding / New agent` and `Agents / Configuration
refresh` Storybook groups. In the real app, create an agent, run its
connection test, save it, assign a task, and reload its configuration.
## Risks
- This changes the main agent setup and configuration UI. Regression
tests cover routing, persistence, secret bindings, and form actions.
- Native Claude ACPX requires Linux x64. Direct Claude works on macOS.
Remote checks execute a bounded platform probe and reject unsupported or
unverified targets.
- A native OpenCode task reached the provider context limit because of
its tool payload. Its provider connection test passed. Direct OpenCode
completed a task. This existing native execution limit is not fixed
here.
- Claude and Codex connection keys use the existing user-secret store.
Other runtime setup keys use distinct organization secrets. Existing
credentials are never rotated. Probes do not store entered keys. Failed
agent creation removes newly staged credentials.
- Cursor Cloud has not completed a live task. Its authenticated account
still needs GitHub repository access. The live run passed MCP
provisioning, remote environment validation, and explicit Auto model
selection before the repository prerequisite blocked execution.
- Generated runtime MCP profiles can exceed the public profile-edit
request limit. They still contain exact catalog selectors and preserve
permission boundaries.
- No database migration, dependency, lockfile, or workflow changes are
included.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution, and browser automation. The runtime did not expose the exact
model ID or context window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip lets people manage AI agents and their work.
> - Remote agents need both their installed tools and managed GitHub
credentials.
> - The GitHub launcher replaces a missing remote PATH with a small
system path.
> - Legacy images install agent CLIs outside that path, so those agents
cannot start.
> - This pull request preserves the remote toolchain and puts managed
GitHub commands first.
> - Command checks now use the same environment as execution.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13005. Related: #10239 fixes a separate Cursor environment path
issue.
Searched open issues and PRs for sandbox PATH and GitHub launcher
changes. No duplicate of this launcher fix was found.
**What happened?**
A remote Claude or Codex run passes command discovery, then fails with
`command not found` and exit code 127. Managed GitHub launchers use only
their own directory and `/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin`. This drops NVM
and other toolchain directories from the sandbox path.
**Expected behavior**
Agent CLIs remain available on legacy and current sandbox images.
Managed `git` and `gh` still resolve first and use the responsible
person's credentials.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Use a sandbox whose agent CLI is installed in an NVM or other
non-system bin directory.
2. Start an agent run with managed GitHub launchers and no explicit PATH
override.
3. Observe that command discovery succeeds but the agent command exits
with code 127.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Observed on `b97101893f0926f57ed0ce9ef1f8d3e4780c62c2`. The same
launcher behavior remains on the base commit `be6bb768b`.
**Deployment mode**
Hosted server with remote sandbox execution. The shared launcher also
supports SSH targets.
## What Changed
- Read the remote target's effective PATH when no remote override is
set. Do not copy an inherited controller PATH.
- Prepend the managed launcher directory and retain the combined path in
shell startup files.
- Stop startup if path discovery fails. Frame the response so login
banners cannot contaminate PATH.
- Pass the sanitized launch environment to sandbox command checks,
installation, and the second check.
- Add real shell tests for legacy and current CLI layouts, quoted paths,
managed GitHub command execution, explicit overrides, SSH, and failure
cases.
- Document the remote path contract.
## Verification
- Four focused adapter utility suites passed: 153 tests.
- The regression suite passed: 13 tests, including the Linux stdin
handling fix.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils typecheck` passed.
- Full workspace `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- The regression suite fails on the unchanged base revision (12
failures, 1 pass) and passes with this change (13 passes). The baseline
ran in an isolated scratch copy.
- Full local test coverage was attempted using the official CI shards.
The run was stopped after macOS Postgres shared-memory exhaustion and
CLI timeouts under load. The affected server database suite passed in
isolation (31 tests), as did the five affected DB/CLI suites (89 tests).
- [Full Linux
CI](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34258333833)
passed on `4e1426f5b`: all general and serialized test shards, all
browser shards, typecheck and release registry checks, native runner
verification, application build, and release canary dry run.
- Greptile scored the latest commit 5/5 with no unresolved findings.
- Shell tests use isolated local fixtures and make no provider or model
requests. No live sandbox qualification is claimed.
## Risks
- Remote startup adds one bounded path query when no explicit override
exists. A failed query stops startup.
- Explicit remote path overrides still control which tools are
available. Invalid overrides now fail the command check earlier.
- Credential selection and GitHub broker policy are unchanged. Tests
verify managed wrappers stay first and can invoke underlying commands.
- No database migration or sandbox image replacement is required.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip helps people manage AI agents and their connected apps.
> - GitHub permissions show which repositories an account can access.
> - The page adds an account dropdown and search above the repository
list.
> - These controls add clutter to a view meant to show the full access
list.
> - This change removes both controls and their filtering state.
> - People see all repositories directly, with the existing scrolling
and access controls.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12998.
**Current behavior**
GitHub permissions show an “All accounts” dropdown and a “Search
repositories” input above the repository list.
**Proposed behavior**
Show the full repository list directly. Keep the scroll limit,
repository links, private-repository icons, refresh button, and GitHub
configuration links.
**Reason and benefit**
Remove unnecessary controls from the access summary. Users manage
repository permissions on GitHub.
## What Changed
- Remove the account dropdown, search input, filtering state, and unused
imports.
- Rename the GitHub configuration button to “Add More Repos on GitHub”.
- Render every returned repository and simplify the empty-list message.
- Update the existing multi-account test and permissions documentation.
## Verification
- All 55 AppDetail tests passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` passed.
- Full `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` passed. All 31 CI checks
passed on `cb9b8bb14a880d926393c62821265fbd2d8c5d31`. Storybook visual
regression was correctly skipped.
- Fresh Greptile review on the same commit: 5/5, with no unresolved
findings.
## Risks
Users can no longer narrow this list by account or search text. The list
still scrolls and shows each repository’s full owner/name. This change
does not alter GitHub permissions or credential selection.
## Model Used

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agents run inside environments. A sandbox environment gets its
sandbox from a provider plugin (for example the bundled
`paperclip.kubernetes-sandbox-provider`), and every run starts by
acquiring a lease through that plugin.
> - When a plugin activation fails once (on a hosted deployment: one
`RPC call "initialize" timed out after 15000ms`), the loader calls
`markError`. That persists `status = error` on the plugin row and
switches off worker auto-restart. Boot activation (`loadAll`), the
bundled-plugin bootstrap and the lazy worker recovery all consider only
`ready` plugins, so the plugin stays in `error` across restarts until an
operator enables it by hand.
> - Every run that needs the provider then fails before dispatch with
`Sandbox provider "kubernetes" is installed via plugin "...", but that
plugin is currently error.` That message matches neither the retryable
classifier (`... but its worker is not running`) nor any configuration
classifier, so the run is recorded as a plain `setup_failed`, the issue
is released, and the scheduler dispatches the same failing run again on
the next tick. On the hosted deployment one company produced about
11,300 identical failed runs, one every 30 seconds, for a week (#12953
is a customer's report of the same condition).
> - Two gaps cause this: the heartbeat treats a condition that only an
operator can change as a transient setup failure, and the bundled-plugin
bootstrap never gives a plugin in `error` another chance even though the
bundle ships with the release image.
> - This pull request classifies the "installed but not ready" lease
failure as `configuration_incomplete`, so the existing recovery path
moves the issue to `blocked` with one recovery action and an actionable
notice; and it re-enables a bundled plugin found in `error` once per
boot, so the next server restart heals the plugin.
> - The benefit is that a stuck provider plugin surfaces as one blocked
issue per task with clear next steps, instead of an endless stream of
identical failed runs, and a restart repairs the plugin without an
operator having to know the plugin API.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #12953 — hosted report: "that plugin is currently error" on every
run for six days, including runs that were retried by hand. This PR
stops the retry loop (issue goes to `blocked`) and makes a server
restart re-activate the bundled plugin. It does not change how a managed
Kubernetes environment is provisioned for a company, which the same
report also mentions.
- Related PR: #9760 pauses the agent for the permanent `Adapter "..." is
not in the configured adapter registry` setup failure. This PR handles a
different permanent condition (plugin not `ready`) and routes it through
the existing `configuration_incomplete` recovery path (issue-level block
with a recovery action) rather than an agent-level pause, because the
gap is on the plugin, not on the agent. The two do not overlap in code
paths.
- No existing issue covers the bundled-plugin re-enable. Bug
description:
**What happened**
A bundled sandbox provider plugin went to `status = error` after one
failed activation. It stayed in `error` across every later server
restart. Every run for every agent on that provider failed lease
acquisition in under a second with `... but that plugin is currently
error.` (`setup_failed`), and the heartbeat kept dispatching new runs
that failed the same way.
**Expected behavior**
A run that fails because its provider plugin is not `ready` is recorded
as a configuration gap and the issue is moved to `blocked` with a notice
that names the plugin and its status, so no further runs are dispatched
until an operator acts. A bundled plugin left in `error` gets a fresh
activation attempt on the next boot.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install a sandbox provider plugin and create a sandbox environment
that uses it; make it an agent's default environment.
2. Set the plugin row's status to `error` (or make its worker fail
`initialize` once so the loader does it).
3. Assign an issue to the agent and let the heartbeat run it.
4. Observe: the run fails with `... but that plugin is currently error.`
as `setup_failed`, the issue is released, and the next tick dispatches
another run that fails the same way. Restart the server: the plugin is
still `error`.
**Paperclip version**
master at 856813ba3 (`fix(connections): distinguish local setup from
provider handoff (#12947)`).
**Deployment mode**
Hosted (Kubernetes, bundled kubernetes sandbox provider plugin). The
heartbeat behavior is the same in self-hosted mode.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/heartbeat.ts`
- New exported `parseSandboxProviderPluginNotReadyFailureMessage()`
recognises environment-runtime's `not_ready` lease message (`... is
installed via plugin "<key>", but that plugin is currently
error|disabled|upgrade_pending`) and returns the provider, plugin key
and status. It does not match the transient `... but its worker is not
running` message (still retried) or the permanent "not installed"
message (unchanged).
- In the setup-failure catch, a matched message sets `errorCode =
configuration_incomplete` and records (independently of whether the
agent lookup succeeded) a `configurationIncomplete` payload with
`reason: "sandbox_provider_plugin_not_ready"`, the provider,
`pluginKey`, `pluginStatus`, and a `fingerprint` of
`sandbox_provider_plugin:<key>:<status>`, so repeated failures on the
same stuck plugin reuse one recovery action. The existing recovery flow
then blocks the issue, skips the infra retry, and posts one notice.
- The two places that build the configuration-incomplete notice now pass
the run's payload so the notice can name the specific gap.
- `server/src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.ts`:
`buildConfigurationIncompleteRecoveryNoticeSeed` takes the optional
payload. For `sandbox_provider_plugin_not_ready` the body names the
plugin and its status and gives status-specific guidance
(`sandboxProviderPluginRemedy`): review and approve the upgraded
capabilities before enabling for `upgrade_pending`, enable again for an
operator `disabled`, enable or restart for `error`. Other reasons keep
the secret/env-binding wording. Exports
`SANDBOX_PROVIDER_PLUGIN_NOT_READY_REASON`.
- `server/src/services/recovery/service.ts`: the recovery action's
`nextAction` for this reason uses the same status-specific guidance
instead of "bind the missing secret(s)". Small refactor:
`readConfigurationIncompletePayload` backs the existing fingerprint
reader.
- `server/src/services/bundled-plugins.ts`
- `ensureBundledPlugins` no longer skips a present bundled plugin whose
status is `error`. It logs at `warn` with the row's `lastError`, resets
the row to `ready` with `lastError` cleared through
`registry.updateStatus` (a plain status reset, not `lifecycle.enable()`,
so no `plugin.enabled` event fires before the worker runs; the startup
`loadAll()` that follows does the activation and its events), and
continues boot on failure. This runs once per boot by construction; if
activation fails again the loader marks `error` again and nothing
retries until the next boot.
- `installed`, `ready`, `disabled` and `upgrade_pending` rows are still
skipped, so an operator's `disabled` stays untouched.
- `BundledPluginProvisionerDeps` gains `registry.updateStatus` and
`logger.warn`; `app.ts` already passes objects that have both.
- `doc/plugins/PLUGIN_SPEC.md`: one bullet in 12.4 Failure Policy about
the once-per-boot re-enable of bundled plugins.
- Tests
- `server/src/__tests__/bundled-plugins.test.ts`: re-enables an `error`
row exactly once with the `lastError` in the warn log and no reinstall;
continues boot and provisions later entries when `enable` throws; still
skips `installed`/`ready`/`disabled`/`upgrade_pending` without calling
`enable`.
- `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts` (embedded
PostgreSQL): a plugin row in `error` plus a sandbox environment produce
a run with `errorCode = configuration_incomplete` and the expected
payload, the adapter is never dispatched, no retry or second run is
created, the issue is `blocked`, the recovery action is
`configuration_validation` with the plugin next action, and the notice
names the plugin key and status. Plus a unit case for the message parser
(positive for the three statuses and a wrapped message, negative for
both other sandbox messages).
- `server/src/services/recovery/stranded-notice.test.ts`: the
plugin-specific body, and the unchanged secret-binding body for other
reasons.
## Verification
- `cd server && pnpm typecheck` — passes.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/bundled-plugins.test.ts` — 29 tests pass.
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run src/services/recovery/` — 77 tests
pass (includes the stranded-notice and classification suites).
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-process-recovery.test.ts -t "sandbox
provider|retryable pattern|secret ref has no binding"` — 5 tests pass:
the two new cases, the existing transient worker-restart retry, the
existing non-retryable "not installed" escalation, and the existing
secret-binding `configuration_incomplete` block (embedded PostgreSQL).
- Manual check for a reviewer: set a sandbox provider plugin row to
`status = 'error'`, run an agent on that provider, and confirm the issue
moves to `blocked` with a "Configuration incomplete" notice that names
the plugin, and that no second run appears. Restart the server and
confirm the boot log shows `bundled plugin is in error status from a
previous activation; re-enabling it for this boot` followed by normal
activation.
## Risks
- Behavior change: a run against a plugin in `error`, `disabled` or
`upgrade_pending` now blocks the issue instead of failing as
`setup_failed` and being re-picked. For `disabled` this is deliberate:
an operator switched the plugin off, and re-dispatching cannot help. The
block is reversible from the issue (retry or reassign) like every other
`configuration_incomplete` block.
- The classifier is anchored on the exact `... but that plugin is
currently <status>` phrase from `environment-runtime.ts`. If that
message changes, the run falls back to the previous `setup_failed`
behavior (no worse than today). A unit test pins the phrase.
- Bundled re-enable: a bundled plugin whose activation fails on every
boot now costs one activation attempt (the `initialize` timeout, 15 s by
default) per boot instead of none. It runs inside the existing
non-awaited bootstrap chain, so boot time is unaffected. Non-bundled
plugins are untouched.
- No migration, no schema change. The `configurationIncomplete` payload
is JSON in `heartbeat_runs.result_json`, read only by the recovery
service.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server keeps one postgres.js pool (`packages/db/src/client.ts`,
`createDb`) for every query it runs. #10795 made the pool tunable from
the environment, but the defaults stayed at the driver defaults: an idle
connection never closes, the pool reports itself as `postgres.js`, and
no code path ever calls `sql.end()`.
> - On a hosted Paperclip deployment the server entered a restart loop
(a bundled plugin failure that #12953 describes made every run fail, and
the pool saturated). Each generation opened its ten connections, died,
and left the backends open on the PostgreSQL side until TCP keepalive
reaped them hours later. After about 20 generations the backends
exceeded `max_connections`, and every later boot died on its first
bootstrap query with `sorry, too many clients already`, before
`server.listen()`. The loop could not heal itself. #9555 describes the
same shape on a launchd-supervised self-hosted install.
> - Three properties of the pool combine to make this possible: idle
connections are never reaped, the pool is never ended on any exit path,
and an operator cannot even find the leaked backends in
`pg_stat_activity` because they carry the generic driver name.
> - This pull request gives the pool a 60 second idle timeout and the
`paperclip` application name by default, exposes `max_lifetime` and
`application_name` through the same `DATABASE_*` environment contract
that #10795 introduced, and ends the pool on the orderly SIGINT/SIGTERM
path and on the fail-loud startup path.
> - The benefit is that a restarting or crash-looping server releases
its backends instead of accumulating them, and an operator can see and
count Paperclip's connections.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
- Refs #9555 — database connection pool leak causes an infinite restart
loop under load. This PR closes the "pool never ends, idle connections
never close" part of that report.
- Refs #12953 — hosted outage report. The pool exhaustion is the second
half of that incident; the first half (a stuck sandbox provider plugin)
has its own PR.
- Related prior PRs: #9597 and #8780 both propose hard-coded
`idle_timeout` / `max_lifetime` values in `createDb`. Both predate
#10795 (merged), which made these options environment-driven; this PR
builds on the merged shape and adds the shutdown `end()` that neither
covers. #4006 and #7481 are closed earlier attempts in the same area.
## What Changed
- `packages/db/src/client.ts`
- New `resolveDatabaseClientOptions()` applies Paperclip defaults on top
of the environment: `idleTimeoutSeconds` defaults to 60
(`DEFAULT_DATABASE_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`) and `applicationName` to
`paperclip` (`DEFAULT_DATABASE_APPLICATION_NAME`). `createDb` uses it
for both the environment path and explicit options.
- `DATABASE_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` now accepts `0` to restore the driver
default (keep idle connections open). Negative or non-integer values
still throw.
- New environment variables: `DATABASE_MAX_LIFETIME_SECONDS` (positive
integer, maps to `max_lifetime`) and `DATABASE_APPLICATION_NAME`
(non-empty string, maps to `connection.application_name`).
- `postgresJsOptions()` maps the two new options.
- `server/src/shutdown.ts`
- `finalizeServerShutdown` gains two optional ordered steps:
`closeHttpListener` runs first, before the application services stop;
`closeDatabase` runs after the application services and before the
embedded PostgreSQL stop. A failure in either is logged and does not
stop the teardown. Final order: listener → application services →
database pool → embedded PostgreSQL → instrumentation → Sentry.
- New `closeHttpListenerForShutdown()`: stops accepting requests, closes
idle keep-alive sockets, waits up to 5 s for open connections, then
closes whatever is left. Requests still in flight are drained while
every service is available, and none can reach a route after
`sql.end()`, on the signal path and the programmatic path alike (the
programmatic path's later `server.close` finds the listener closed and
skips).
- `server/src/app.ts`: the app shutdown hook (`shutdownAppServices`) now
stops the plugin job scheduler, whose tick queries the database, so a
programmatic `shutdown()` leaves no timer running against the ended
pool.
- `server/src/index.ts`
- `startServer()` is now a thin wrapper around the boot sequence. When
the boot sequence throws after the pool exists, the wrapper ends the
pool (and the separate migration pool, when configured) before it
rethrows. This covers the `process.exit(1)` path in the main module and
the CLI `paperclip run` path alike.
- The orderly shutdown passes the same `closeDatabaseClients` to
`finalizeServerShutdown`.
- `endDatabaseClient` tolerates a client without `$client` (test
doubles) and uses a 5 second end timeout.
- Docs: `docs/deploy/database.md` gets a "Connection Pool Settings"
table with every `DATABASE_*` pool variable, its default and its effect;
`doc/DATABASE.md` lists the two new variables.
- Tests
- `packages/db/src/client-options.test.ts`: parsing of the new
variables, `0` for the idle timeout, rejection of malformed values,
driver option mapping, and the `resolveDatabaseClientOptions` defaults.
- `packages/db/src/client.test.ts` (embedded PostgreSQL):
`createDb(url)` reports `application_name = paperclip` for its own
backend, and a pool with `idleTimeoutSeconds: 1` has zero backends in
`pg_stat_activity` after the timeout.
- `server/src/shutdown.test.ts`: the listener closes before the
application services, and the database close runs between the
application services and the embedded PostgreSQL stop; a failing
database close is logged while the teardown still finishes;
`closeHttpListenerForShutdown` closes idle sockets and resolves on
close, force-closes after the grace period, and is a no-op when the
listener was never bound.
## Verification
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/db typecheck` — passes (`check:migrations`
+ `tsc --noEmit`).
- `cd server && pnpm typecheck` — passes.
- `cd packages/db && pnpm exec vitest run src/client-options.test.ts
src/client.test.ts src/client-teardown-registry.test.ts` — 9 + 18 + 3
tests pass (the `client.test.ts` cases need embedded PostgreSQL; the new
one waits up to 10 s for the idle reap and passed in about 3 s).
- `cd server && pnpm exec vitest run src/shutdown.test.ts
src/__tests__/server-startup-feedback-export.test.ts
src/__tests__/bootstrap-claim-routes.test.ts` — 34 + 11 tests pass. The
startup-feedback suite exercises `startServer()` with a mocked
`createDb`, which is why `endDatabaseClient` tolerates a client without
`$client`.
- Manual check for a reviewer: start the server against any PostgreSQL,
then run `SELECT application_name, state, count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity
GROUP BY 1, 2;`. Paperclip's backends now show `paperclip`. Leave the
server idle for more than 60 s and the idle backends disappear. Send
SIGTERM and the backends close before the process exits.
## Risks
- Behavior change with no environment set: idle pooled connections now
close after 60 s. The next query after an idle period pays a reconnect
(single-digit milliseconds on a local socket). postgres.js reconnects
transparently. Set `DATABASE_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=0` to keep the
previous behavior.
- `application_name` changes from `postgres.js` to `paperclip`. Anything
that filtered `pg_stat_activity` on the old name would need an update;
nothing in this repo does.
- The HTTP listener now closes at the start of the final teardown (after
the heartbeat run drain, which still needs the API for running agents).
The pool close runs after the application services. A late query from a
timer that survived the service shutdown would fail with a driver
"connection ended" error instead of running; the known database-backed
timer (the plugin job scheduler) is now stopped in the service shutdown.
- The listener drain adds at most 5 s to a shutdown while long-lived
connections (for example WebSocket clients) are open; after that they
are closed forcibly.
- `startServer()` is split into a wrapper and the boot sequence. The
exported signature and return type are unchanged.
- No migration, no schema change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agents and prepares their runtime inputs before
each turn.
> - Shared company skills are part of those inputs for native and legacy
adapters.
> - Runtime materialization refreshed the full inventory again for every
declared file.
> - Remote skill directories were also downloaded and rebuilt on every
turn.
> - Measured preparation took 42–73 seconds while runner execution took
7–9 seconds.
> - This change reads the inventory once and reuses validated installed
revisions.
> - Agents retain their selected skills while repeated preparation
avoids upstream work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
One 114-skill preparation performed 407 inventory refreshes, 48
directory rebuilds, and 388 GitHub file fetches. Reusing existing local
copies took 151 ms.
**Expected behavior**
Each listing refreshes inventory once. Unchanged installed remote
revisions reuse complete, validated local copies. Local edits remain
visible. Explicit updates select new revisions.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Import GitHub skills with supporting files.
2. Run an agent turn, then run another with the same installed
revisions.
3. Observe repeated inventory scans, downloads, and runtime directory
replacement before execution.
Related prior attempts: #2330 and #9268 (still open; #9268 last updated
July 9). Those use a marker compared with `updatedAt`. This patch
follows the required content validation, immutable revision, company
isolation, atomic publication, and read-only semantics, and removes
refresh-per-file multiplication.
## What Changed
- Split public file reading from reading an already loaded skill.
Runtime listing refreshes inventory once.
- Add a company-scoped revision cache with file manifests outside the
delivered skill directory. Fingerprints omit cosmetic metadata.
- Validate exact file inventory, sizes, and hashes before warm reuse.
Reject traversal and symlinks. Stage complete builds and serialize
atomic publication across processes.
- Preserve local/catalog direct sources, stored Markdown fallback,
explicit version snapshots, and legacy mutable-ref compatibility. Report
missing supporting files and keep older valid revisions readable.
- Clean both runtime layouts on rename/removal and record
`skills.prepare` under preparation timing.
- Add service/cache regressions and an isolated 114-skill benchmark,
including a new-process warm run.
## Verification
- Final targeted skill-service/cache/trace validation: 86 tests pass (61
embedded-PostgreSQL service tests, 19 cache tests, 6 trace tests).
Database tests executed rather than skipped. Focused skill routes,
adapter selection, and native runtime context also pass.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` pass locally at `22caa1fe4`.
- The full `pnpm test:run` matrix passes on supported Linux CI at the
final head: [CI
run](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34236097762).
Local full-suite execution encountered PostgreSQL startup contention, a
random allocated-port boundary, and a socket hang-up; every affected
suite passed on an isolated rerun. The interrupted local serialized run
is not claimed as a complete local pass.
- Repeatable benchmark: `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsx
../scripts/benchmark-skill-preparation.ts`. Mixed 114-skill inventory
with 429 remote files on Linux: cold 286 ms, warm median 96 ms / maximum
153 ms including a new process. Every warm sample performs one refresh,
zero upstream fetches/rebuilds, and reports no missing entries; content
assertions pass.
- Controlled deployment against the previously deployed revision
completed with zero lost runs. Real inventory: 114 skills, 670 declared
files; 402 cached files match the prior installed copies byte-for-byte.
Ten post-deployment warm preparations: median 129 ms / maximum 208 ms;
new-process warm 194 ms, zero downloads/rebuilds/missing entries.
- Five sequential real browser questions persisted in 10.6–20.7 s
(median 12.2 s), versus 50–83 s before. Skill preparation median 240 ms,
with one 2.37 s outlier. Total preparation median 3.337 s / maximum
8.728 s **does not fully meet** the <3 s / <5 s target. The excluded
historical-run redaction query takes about 1.36 s per scan at two
preparation call sites; wider application latency coincided with the
outlier, without a cache rebuild. These residuals are reported rather
than discarded.
- Disposable skill reimport verified through actual selected-skill runs:
the next run read the changed code. Fixture removed and agent
configuration verified unchanged.
- Greptile 5/5, zero unresolved review threads, all final-head CI checks
green.
## Risks
- Cold preparation still requires upstream availability for supporting
files. An unavailable revision is reported missing and never falls back
to an older revision.
- Valid older revisions and quarantined invalid entries consume additive
disk space until skill cleanup. An abruptly killed publisher can leave a
lock that requires operator cleanup after confirming its PID is dead.
- Warm validation reads all cached file bytes. Very large inventories
still have proportional local I/O cost.
- No HTTP API, schema, agent configuration, or first-party Telemetry
changes. OpenTelemetry retains its operator endpoint gate.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip manages AI agents and their work.
> - Managed deployments need a cloud image and a database migration
package.
> - Branch commits can lack both artifacts until a normal release runs.
> - Operators need to test an exact commit without advancing release
aliases.
> - This pull request adds a preview build mode to the existing release
workflow.
> - Builds use an immutable source SHA and publish isolated, reusable
artifacts.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Release automation, cloud Docker images, and shared/database npm
packages.
**Problem or motivation**
An operator cannot deploy an unpublished branch with new migrations
using only
the normal release artifacts. Publishing it through a normal lane would
also
advance shared release aliases.
**Proposed solution**
Dispatch the trusted release workflow on master with a full source SHA
and a
request UUID. Build missing SHA images and, when needed, deterministic
preview
shared/DB packages. Publish packages under the preview dist-tag with
exact
workspace pins. Reuse matching artifacts on retries.
**Roadmap alignment**
This extends release tooling for operator validation. It does not add a
core
product feature or duplicate a planned product capability. Related PR
searches
found no duplicate preview deployment workflow.
## What Changed
- Add the preview channel, request correlation, artifact checks, and
result artifact.
- Compile source packages in a separate job from the npm publisher. The
publisher
uses trusted master code and disables package lifecycle scripts.
- Publish only SHA cloud image tags. Preserve release aliases. Use
full-SHA tags and no shared build cache.
- Verify full source identity for reused packages and images. Both image
and npm publishers
use isolated jobs and the externally master-restricted npm-canary
environment. Fail on registry
authentication errors, outages, or artifact identity mismatches.
- Let bundled-package preparation use patches from the requested source
checkout.
- Document publishing configuration, artifact contracts, and deployment
order.
## Verification
- Passed `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`.
- Passed `pnpm test:release-registry`: 107 tests, including eight
preview tests.
- Passed `actionlint -shellcheck= .github/workflows/release.yml`.
- Built real shared and DB preview tarballs from an isolated exact-SHA
checkout.
Verified package source identity and all 244 SQL files and journal
entries.
- Verified the full revision behind an existing published SHA cloud
image.
- `pnpm test:run` exposed missing local embedded PostgreSQL library
symlinks.
The package's postinstall repair restored initdb; all 12 previously
affected
suites passed on rerun (95 tests). Additional local matrix reruns are in
progress.
The complete PR CI matrix is green, including general/serialized tests,
e2e,
typecheck, build, release registry, canary dry run, and the required
verify gate.
- Live preview publication and staging deployment require this workflow
on master
and the compatible control-plane backend. They have not run yet. No
production
deployment was performed.
## Risks
Preview npm versions are immutable public artifacts. Both packages must
retain
their trusted publisher for release.yml in environment npm-canary.
Source builds
must remain separated from privileged npm publishing. The deploying
control plane
must verify source identity, integrity, and migration compatibility
before use.
Normal release jobs retain their existing conditions. Roll back by
stopping preview
dispatches and reverting the workflow/tooling. Published preview
versions remain
isolated from normal release tags.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with repository tools, code execution, and
test runs.
The session does not expose a more specific model version or
context-window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Projects give tasks a common source repository and execution
context.
> - The current project form asks for a raw URL and unrelated metadata.
> - Teams need to select several repos from GitHub connections they can

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Problem or motivation**
Project creation accepts one raw repository URL. It does not help users
select repos from their usable GitHub connections or attach several
repos together.
**Proposed solution**
Add a shared GitHub repository picker to project creation and
Configuration. Support multiple selections, transactional persistence,
and the existing GitHub setup flow. Simplify the project form and
Configuration tab as reviewed.
**Alternatives considered**
Keep a raw URL field or add a separate repository table. The existing
workspace collection already supports several repositories and keeps
legacy URLs compatible.
**Roadmap alignment**
This builds on the shipped MCP Tool Gateway and Apps capability. It does
not change runtime credential delegation.
Related work: #11662 addresses the existing dialog's viewport limits.
#4552 addresses generic Git URLs; this change preserves those URLs in
existing workspaces.
## What Changed
- Add company-scoped repository discovery from usable personal and
shared GitHub grants, with provider-ID deduplication, PAT pagination,
and partial failure handling.
- Document the repository endpoints and board access requirements in
OpenAPI.
- Validate new selections and save projects with multiple repository
workspaces in one transaction. Preserve legacy URLs and existing
selections whose access was lost.
- Implement the reviewed Create project dialog, shared repository
editor, scrolling, and mobile layout.
- Move repositories above environment variables, remove Status and Goals
controls and env help paragraphs, move Created to the bottom, and
redirect Overview to Configuration.
- Reuse GitHub setup in dialogs, preserve project drafts, and verify
popup completion through the API.
- Replace the configuration story's DOM adapter with explicit production
composition. Keep the reviewed mobile and short-viewport stories.
## Verification
- Passed: `pnpm build`, `pnpm -r typecheck`, `pnpm build-storybook`, and
`pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Passed: focused repository access, database persistence,
configuration, and connection setup tests.
- Passed: `pnpm exec playwright test --config
tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts tests/e2e/project-repositories.spec.ts`.
- The browser tests use a real temporary server/database. They cover
create, forty persisted repos, mobile scrolling, save/reload, legacy URL
editing, and rejection without a partial project.
- GitHub responses and popup completion use deterministic fixtures. No
real GitHub account was authorized by the test suite.
- All CI general, serialized server, and browser test shards pass on the
final commit.
- The local full-suite run overlapped review edits and was stopped;
fresh repository, OpenAPI, UI/CLI, and connection tests pass. Unrelated
local worker, built-in-agent, and routine timing/socket failures passed
isolated reruns.
- Final commit `1b3308dca`: all CI gates pass, including build, runner
verification, typecheck, canary dry run, and security checks. Greptile
is 5/5 with no unresolved review threads.
- Storybook visual regression is opt-in and was skipped by CI; the
Storybook build passed locally.
## Risks
- Repository discovery depends on provider availability. Failed
connections are reported while successful results stay usable.
- Selections identify source workspaces; they do not grant agents new
credentials. The existing primary-workspace and responsible-user
identity rules still apply.
- No database migration is needed. Existing API status, goals, dates,
and manual workspace URLs remain supported.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with repository inspection, code
execution, and browser tools. The runtime does not expose a more
specific model deployment ID or context-window size.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip lets people share agents while keeping GitHub access
personal.
> - Each managed Git or GitHub operation selects an eligible connection
grant.
> - Connecting the same GitHub account twice creates two grants.
> - The old resolver counted grants and rejected them as competing
identities.
> - Managed commands then ran anonymously and reported a misleading
login failure.
> - This change compares GitHub account IDs and selects one eligible
grant for the same account.
> - The benefit is reliable access after reconnecting, with clear
diagnostics for real failures.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13005.
**What happened?**
Two active connections owned by one Paperclip user pointed to the same
GitHub account. Managed Git refused both as ambiguous. The agent could
not push, although the account was connected and had repository access.
**Expected behavior**
Multiple grants for the same GitHub account resolve to one eligible
authorization. Different accounts remain ambiguous. Unavailable access
explains its cause without blocking unrelated work.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Connect the same GitHub account twice for one Paperclip user and
allow the shared agent through both connection audiences.
2. Start an instruction as that user.
3. Run managed gh or git push. Before this fix, no credential is
provided.
## What Changed
- Compare stable GitHub account IDs when more than one eligible grant
exists. Never deduplicate by login alone.
- Prefer an available grant, then the newest authorization with a stable
ID tie-breaker. Refresh and webhook timestamps do not change the
selection.
- Keep the selected credential and connection policy together. Do not
combine permissions or fall back from a dedicated account to a personal
account.
- Print the redacted unavailable reason in managed command output.
Unrelated local operations still work anonymously.
- Add database and executable launcher regressions, and document
selection behavior.
## Verification
- Final `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build` passed.
- Fourteen operation credential integration tests passed, covering
duplicate personal/dedicated grants, incomplete credentials, distinct
accounts with the same login, missing identity metadata, revocation,
membership, connection audiences, and A → B → A steering. Existing Git
credential and gateway suites and both executable launcher tests also
passed.
- The local broad test run encountered three embedded-Postgres lifecycle
timeouts and stale modules from edits made during that run. A fresh
process rerun of all four affected suites passed all 35 tests. The full
Node 24 CI test matrix passed on the final commit.
- CI passed all 31 checks on `797973b30beb16ba5fa69ed281835e1ab812b449`
(Storybook visual regression was correctly skipped). An unrelated
Company Settings UI test failed once; the focused local reproduction and
rerun of its CI shard both passed without code changes.
- Fresh Greptile review of the final commit: 5/5, with no open findings.
Security checks passed.
- Live acceptance passed with both duplicate connections enabled:
managed `gh api user` returned the expected account, managed `git push`
succeeded, and the agent created #13023 and pushed its review fixes. No
host login or credential changes were used.
- Applied the final source/compiled patch to the affected instance with
backups, after confirming no runs were active. Restarted service health
and the final resolver selection were verified. The patch is an overlay
on the existing deployment; this PR supplies the upstream fix.
## Risks
The resolver selects one authorization for an already permitted GitHub
account. It does not combine repository permissions across connections.
If the selected authorization has narrower access, that operation can
still be denied by GitHub. Different provider account IDs and unknown
duplicate identities continue to fail closed. No schema, host
credential, or connection permission changes are included.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation and verification with
shell, database, and browser tools. The exact model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The recent tasks sidebar helps operators return to active and
completed work.
> - Task detail refreshes update the activity timestamps used to sort
that list.
> - Older responses can undo newer activity. Concurrent updates can move
rows repeatedly.
> - This pull request preserves the newest observed activity and
debounces row moves.
> - Operators can select a stable row while task text and live state
stay current.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Recent task rows can repeatedly swap positions when two tasks receive
updates. Older detail responses can also move a task below another task
after a newer comment promoted it.
**Expected behavior**
Rows remain stable during an update burst. The final activity order
appears after one second of quiet. Old responses never reduce the
recorded activity time.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Enable the streamlined UI and open multiple tasks.
2. Send alternating updates to two tasks in the recent list.
3. Observe row order while those updates arrive and while older detail
data refreshes.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Base commit: 1cc45086d.
**Deployment mode**
Board UI. The behavior is independent of the server deployment mode.
Related work: #12854 and #12746 introduced the current navigation.
#12314 is an earlier experimental sidebar proposal; this fix targets the
implementation already on master.
## What Changed
- Keep stored activity timestamps at their newest observed value in both
recording paths.
- Debounce activity-driven row moves for one second. Keep additions and
removals immediate.
- Keep detail query observers in a fixed order and resolve task text by
task ID.
- Add regression coverage for alternating updates, stale data,
additions, and removals.
- Document recent task ordering in the development guide.
## Verification
- Passed: 17 focused recent task tests.
- Passed: `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Passed: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`.
- Passed: Greptile 5/5 on commit
`8861961de9aaa7e9a8184826bc5ce367450f9e8a`, with no review threads or
actionable findings.
- Passed: all 31 remote checks, including all general and serialized
test shards, browser tests, release verification, and build. The opt-in
Storybook visual check was skipped by policy.
- One unrelated concurrent artifact-document test failed on the first CI
attempt. Its 11-test suite passed locally, and the single CI retry
passed without code changes.
- The duplicate full local `pnpm test:run` was started; the completed CI
suite provides the full-suite result.
- Regression tests use fake timers to check that rows remain fixed
during alternating activity, text refreshes immediately, and the final
order appears after one second of quiet.
## Risks
- Continuous activity intentionally delays row moves until updates
settle. New and removed tasks still appear immediately.
- Storage format and server contracts stay compatible. No migration is
needed.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with reasoning, repository inspection, code
editing, and test execution. The exact deployment model ID and context
window size are not exposed in this session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Several people can send instructions to the same agent and task.
> - A fixed GitHub token in the provider process can keep the first
person's access after another person's message is accepted.
> - Task ownership cannot select credentials for each accepted
instruction or preserve the identity of an operation already in
progress.
> - This pull request records ordered execution identity contexts and
resolves credentials when managed Git, gh, or GitHub tools start.
> - The benefit is automatic personal GitHub access for shared agents,
with durable continuation rules and no teammate credential fallback.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting: orchestration, connection grants, database, runtime
adapters, native runners, and run details.
**Problem or motivation**
A shared agent must use the person whose instructions it has accepted. A
queued message must retain its author. A retry or approval without new
instructions must retain the originating identity. GitHub must remain
optional for ordinary work.
**Proposed solution**
Persist execution identity separately from task ownership. Give new
processes a run-scoped broker capability and token-free managed
launchers. Capture identity at operation start. Keep an explicit
dedicated-agent grant as an override. Show redacted diagnostics in run
details.
**Alternatives considered**
Per-task ownership, fixed provider tokens, and mutable repository author
configuration do not handle accepted steering or concurrent operations.
A manual account-selection action would add unnecessary setup to each
turn.
**Roadmap alignment**
This completes the existing Multiple Human Users, MCP Tool Gateway &
Apps, Secrets Manager, and Self-healing Runs capabilities. The
implementation follows the maintainer-approved plan.
Related work: Refs #12843, Refs #12907. Existing proposals #4618 and
#8945 cover per-agent or per-worktree author configuration. This change
instead follows the accepted human instruction across runtime types.
Refs #11831 for governed personal connection delegation; this change
preserves connection audience checks and does not use standing
delegation as a personal credential fallback.
## What Changed
- Add durable, ordered identity contexts and active run references.
Preserve message authors through consolidation, steering, retries,
delegation, approvals, routines, and restart.
- Add an authenticated operation-time GitHub credential broker and
local/remote managed git and gh launchers. Keep personal tokens out of
the long-lived provider process.
- Resolve GitHub gateway and server-side Git operations through the same
responsible-person or dedicated-grant selection rules.
- Make absent and unavailable GitHub credentials non-blocking at generic
startup. Clear host and prior-person credentials. Keep anonymous Git
access where supported.
- Add run-detail identity history and the dedicated-account warning.
Keep task ownership and queue-versus-steer decisions unchanged.
- Preserve personal OAuth declarations through connection edits. Retain
exact selected grants in the gateway.
- Fix continuation races found during real acceptance: verify a warm
owner before credential rotation, and wait for bounded durable runner
suspension before the next run starts.
- Make migrations replay-safe. Retain identity through agent/run
deletion, remove it with its company, and clean terminal launcher
directories before releasing execution environments. Document
coordinated release and rollback.
## Verification
- Full workspace typecheck, build, and token gates passed. The complete
local suite passed in its normal test groups: 17,120 passing tests,
including all 143 serialized server suites. After integrating the newly
merged runner API work, full local typecheck and build passed again,
along with 890 focused integration tests. All 31 checks on the
integrated revision passed, including build, browser E2E, release
registry, canary dry run, typecheck, security and all test suites.
Greptile is 5/5 with all review threads resolved.
- Current focused checks passed: 142 native executor tests, 67 runtime
lifecycle tests, 9 durable identity tests, 75 credential/routine tests,
19 low-trust/resumption tests, and the executable migration replay test.
- Authenticated browser acceptance with two Paperclip users and two
GitHub accounts on one shared native agent passed. Real commits and
pushes followed A → B accepted steering → queued A continuation in the
same saved conversation. GitHub commit author and committer identities
matched all three operations. Both runs succeeded and task ownership
stayed unchanged.
- Real GitHub MCP calls switched from A to B after accepted steering. A
delegated subtask retained its originating identity across a server
restart.
- Disabling B's GitHub connection left ordinary work successful. Managed
gh was unauthenticated and the provider had no inherited GH_TOKEN or
GITHUB_TOKEN.
- The browser displayed run-detail diagnostics and the exact
dedicated-account warning. A final controller-restart check followed by
another-person continuation retained the conversation, selected the
correct GitHub login and Git author, and removed each terminal launcher
directory.
- Company-lifetime migration and all five previously failing CI suites
passed locally (167 tests). Same-token gateway A → B → A and six
broker/launcher boundary tests passed.
- Remote callback, launcher, sandbox, and runtime contract tests passed.
Both native and legacy Codex completed actual Daytona executions on the
integrated revision ([campaign
results](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34155056509)).
The remote package-manager shim staging regression also passed locally.
## Risks
- Deploy the migrations, server broker, launchers, and runner artifacts
together. Existing processes finish with their original contract. New
managed processes need the broker endpoint for GitHub operations.
- Finish or stop new managed executions before rolling application code
back. Keep the additive schema and identity history during rollback.
- Scripts that require a persistent raw GH_TOKEN must use managed git,
gh, or GitHub gateway tools. Run capabilities authorize code executing
within that run to acquire its current identity; this is not
hostile-code isolation within one execution principal. Managed commands
prevent automatic credential carryover; arbitrary code deliberately
copying a credential is outside that boundary.
- Uncertain steering acknowledgement deliberately holds new credential
acquisition until reconciliation. Already-started operations retain
their captured identity.
- GitHub private access and provider outages can still fail the specific
operation that needs them. Dedicated grant failure does not fall back to
personal access.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex assisted implementation, review, shell
execution, and browser acceptance. The exact model variant and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Tool use included
TypeScript and Rust tests, database integration tests, GitHub CLI, and
authenticated browser control.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**Subsystem affected**
Paperclip Runner contracts, production tool authority and the server API
catalog.
**Problem or motivation**
The runner cannot use much of the API described by the old Paperclip
skill. A generic HTTP client would also let agents bypass runner control
rules.
**Proposed solution**
Add `search_api` and `call_api`. Resolve calls from the mounted API
catalog. Use server-held, run-bound credentials. Preserve route checks
and runner lifecycle rules. Keep the tools disabled until an operator
enables selected companies.
**Alternatives considered**
A dedicated tool for every endpoint would add a large initial prompt. An
unrestricted HTTP tool would weaken authorization and replay controls.
**Roadmap alignment**
This extends the native runner tooling. The repository owner requested
this design and implementation. The roadmap and related open PRs were
checked. No duplicate API escape-hatch PR was found.
## What Changed
- Register two compact fallback tools in canonical contracts and
provider projections.
- Build deterministic API discovery from OpenAPI, mounted experimental
routes and the old skill reference.
- Execute bounded JSON, text, file and download requests through
authenticated HTTP routes.
- Recheck active runs, company access and work modes. Block runner
lifecycle, scheduling, credential and approval bypasses. Keep routine
annotation collaboration available.
- Retain mutation receipts. Report uncertain outcomes without blindly
repeating writes.
- Add a company rollout gate and a durable eval worker with complete
cost accounting checks.
- Record child-task creation in the activity log with the agent and run.
- Add contract, authorization, file, replay and real runnerd/PRP/HTTP
tests.
- Document rollout gates and paid coverage limits. The companion eval
repository retains immutable attempts and reports.
## Verification
- Final app commit `da58370524c3626a744eec20164397c5fb6ba9ef`: all 32
checks passed; the unrelated Storybook visual check was skipped.
Greptile 5/5; no unresolved review threads.
- Full Linux build and recursive typecheck passed. Repository tests were
run by project and serialized shard; all 143 serialized server suites
passed.
- Runner TypeScript: 1,599 passed, two skipped. Rust release: 451
passing test reports. Conformance and replay parity passed. The required
API check passed 837 tests, including runnerd → PRP → authority → real
HTTP.
- Bindings cannot enable API tools without the explicit deployment flag.
Unit and real-authority tests prove the default-off boundary.
- The standalone API check builds and stages its own binary. It passed
after existing staged and debug binaries were removed from the test
container.
- UI and CLI tests passed. Initial environment failures (missing jq,
Docker overlay file identity, and parallel linker memory pressure) and
focused passing reruns are retained. The macOS full runner suite has
platform-specific failures; Linux is the qualified full-check platform.
- Eval harness: 27 tests passed; existing CI discovery ran 86 tests with
two unrelated skips. Credential export rejection is tested against the
actual report command.
- Luna and OpenRouter Sonnet each passed 60 common-workflow runs: ten
workflows, three repetitions per arm, zero unnecessary API fallback.
- Sonnet passed 11 selected capability/contract cases after fixes.
Gemini passed three smoke cases. DeepSeek exceeded the 120-second limit
and remains unqualified.
- Luna's two cost flags received focused follow-up. The original flags
and a later n=1 latency flag remain visible. Sonnet had no cost or
latency increase above 20%.
- The catalog contains 785 entries; 58 were exercised across all stages.
Most operation probes remain unrun and some need additional fixtures.
Authored probes do not establish successful coverage.
- Total conservative accounted cost: $9.875960. Active paid-campaign
time: 88.16/90 minutes. No missing accounting. Later security and
harness fixes have provider-free verification; no paid validation is
claimed for those revisions.
- Inspect the [qualification
report](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/codex/seach-call-api-tools/evals/runner-api-tools/reports/2026-09-07-production/READINESS.md)
and [verification
record](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip-evals/blob/codex/seach-call-api-tools/evals/runner-api-tools/reports/2026-09-07-production/verification.json).
## Risks
- This is a broad authenticated API surface. Keep the default-off gate
until an operator selects initial rollout companies.
- Paid coverage is incomplete. Small regression samples do not prove all
workflows are unchanged.
- A timeout or server failure can follow a committed mutation. The
result reports an unknown outcome and requires state inspection.
- The new definitions add prompt tokens. The report retains cost flags
and cache variation.
- No database migration is required.
- Repository rules require code-owner approval before merge. Technical
CI and automated review are complete.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex based on GPT-6 assisted with code, tests and review. The
exact serving model ID and context window are not exposed in this
session. It used reasoning, tool calls and code execution.
Eval models: `gpt-5.6-luna` with low reasoning,
`openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-5`,
`openrouter/google/gemini-3.8-flash`, and
`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. Attempts retain runtime
versions, model identity, usage and source provenance.

## Thinking Path
- Paperclip Runner needs its runtime preinstalled for fast sandbox
startup.
- Native and local adapters should launch one current CLI installation
per provider.
- An older global copy can shadow that installation, and exact native
compatibility pins must match it.
- Update the qualified releases and binary digests, expose shared CLI
entrypoints from the provider pack, and prefer the image-owned bin
directory.
- Keep dependency installation in the image build; task startup only
discovers, links, and verifies artifacts.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Remote native startup rejected a stale global Codex, while CLI-only
images lacked runnerd entirely.
**Expected behavior**
An image-baked runtime starts without uploading binaries or installing
packages. All adapters share the same current provider CLI.
**Steps to reproduce**
Start a native remote task with the old global Codex and the updated
runtime available only under `/opt/paperclip-runner/bin`.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Discovery behavior at `54a99d884`.
**Deployment mode**
Docker with a remote sandbox.
## What Changed
- Prefer `/opt/paperclip-runner/bin`, then the user's local bin
directory, then PATH. Existing metadata and version validation remains
in force.
- Qualify Codex 0.153.4, OpenCode 1.18.29, and Claude SDK 0.3.263 / CLI
2.1.263. Update binary digests, TypeScript/Rust checks, registry
defaults, and the displayed OpenCode version together.
- Share Codex and Claude's native executable with the ACP bridges
through exact dependency overrides. Preserve the separately qualified
ACP bridge implementations and their security patches.
- Expose shared provider-pack CLI launchers; fail the pack build if
Codex ACP resolves a separate Codex installation. Update the eval
image's other agent CLIs to current stable releases and remove duplicate
global provider installs.
- Document the single-current-CLI policy in source comments and
development guidance. Latest stable releases are resolved at
review/build preparation and pinned; task startup never auto-updates.
## Verification
- Native-session and adapter-registry suites: 158 tests passed.
- Provider suites: 88 tests passed, 7 Linux-only checks skipped on
macOS. One existing macOS temporary-path alias assertion passed when
rerun with canonical `TMPDIR=/private/tmp`.
- Package-contract and OpenCode materialization tests: 11 passed.
- Full typecheck, build, and token gates passed. Rust
native-provider/recovery tests: 19 passed.
- Broad local suite: 5,974 passed, 23 failed, 41 skipped. Failures are
in unchanged macOS workspace/path/port and connection suites; focused
runtime tests pass. All latest-head Linux PR checks passed, including
the full test shards, typecheck, build, runner verification, browser
suites, and canary dry run.
- The standalone fleet image built with one current provider CLI each
and passed native Codex/Claude binary-integrity checks. A disposable
Daytona sandbox reported ready in 798 ms; its baked runner completed an
API-key `gpt-5.6-luna` turn in 2,430 ms and returned the expected marker
with a usage receipt. No runtime artifacts were uploaded or installed.
- The normal shared `codex exec` entrypoint also completed an API-key
`gpt-5.6-luna` turn in 2,321 ms.
- Both image builds verify the complete generated lockfile against a
reviewed SHA-256 before package installation or lifecycle execution.
Root lockfile changes remain CI-owned. Merge and rollout remain on hold
for operator review.
## Risks
- Updating provider CLIs changes their behavior for all adapters;
version probes and live native smoke testing are required before image
promotion.
- The image-owned directory takes precedence. Its entries must launch
the same shared CLI as the global PATH, not a private older/newer copy.
- Application qualification pins and the deployed image must move
together. No startup fallback installation is added.
- No schema or authentication-policy changes.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). The session does not expose a more specific model
ID or context-window size. Used reasoning, repository inspection, code
execution, and browser verification.
