## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Push-triggered Release runs stopped publishing canaries on 2026-09-10.
Runs at 19:34, 22:30, and 22:37 UTC were all cancelled by "The job has
exceeded the maximum execution time of 20m0s" on a `verify_canary /
General tests (server (N/3))` shard. No canary published after 18:50
UTC, which also starves the staging fleet's continuous deploys.
**Expected behavior**
release-verify's server shards finish well inside the 20-minute cap and
runs conclude with a test verdict, as pr-trusted's five-way split of the
same suite does (10-15 minutes per shard).
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Compare server shard durations in the `verify_canary` job across
2026-09-10: 11-14 minutes in the morning, 17-19 minutes from 15:06 UTC,
over 20 minutes by evening.
2. Observe runs 34521169020, 34537798488, and 34538332689 cancelled at
the cap.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `d1ba17eec` (current tip; its canary run was one of the
cancelled ones).
## What Changed
- `release-verify.yml`: the `general-server` matrix goes from three
shards to five, byte-for-byte the shape `pr-trusted.yml` already runs,
with a comment recording why.
## Verification
- The identical five-way split runs green on every pr-trusted run (10-15
minutes per shard today, including on PRs merged this evening).
- The suite's own growth (slower chat-connector tests) is being
addressed separately; this PR only removes the artificial cliff.
## Risks
- Low risk: two more runners per verify run; no test content changes. If
shard durations regress further, the cap fires again — which is the
correct signal once shards have honest headroom.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Three server tests failed release-verify canary runs on 2026-09-10 under
CI load:
1. `chat-channels.integration.test.ts › returns a retryable webhook
failure when the delivery insert fails before durable receipt` — the
duplicate-redelivery request drew the retryable 503 instead of an
immediate 200 (run 34517515849).
2. `chat-channels.integration.test.ts › returns ephemeral guidance for
exact Slack controls in channels without creating tasks or actions` — a
`provider_effect` row was read before its async settlement reached
`processed` (run 34497348802).
3. `runner-connection-eval-fixtures.test.ts › resets paired attempts…` —
the fixture's `TRUNCATE companies CASCADE` was chosen as a deadlock
victim (40P01) against the helper app's own background sweeps (run
34497348802).
**Expected behavior**
Verify runs fail only for real regressions. A momentary-contention 503
on a duplicate redelivery, an in-flight settlement row, and a
deadlock-victim reset are all recoverable states the code handles by
design.
**Steps to reproduce**
Run the three tests under a loaded 3-shard release-verify split; the
timing assertions flake. Under `pr-trusted`'s lighter shards they
usually pass, which is why the PRs that introduced them were green.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` at `d1ba17eec`.
## What Changed
- The duplicate-redelivery assertion retries on 503 the way Slack itself
would (bounded, 250 ms apart), then asserts the 200 and the unchanged
dedup invariants: duplicate count increments, still exactly one issue.
- The channel-controls settlement read is wrapped in a bounded
`vi.waitFor`, the same pattern the file's durable-receipt paths already
use.
- The runner eval fixture retries its TRUNCATE on Postgres error 40P01,
bounded at five attempts, and rethrows anything else.
## Verification
- All three run green locally: the two chat tests via `-t` filters, the
eval fixtures file in full (6 tests).
- Each change is assertion-shape only; no product code is touched.
- Observation for a follow-up, not this PR: the chat integration file
costs ~15 s transform + ~28 s import per vitest worker before any test
executes — splitting it would give back real shard time.
## Risks
- Low risk: the retries and waits are bounded, so a genuine regression
(permanent 503, settlement that never lands, persistent deadlock) still
fails within the same timeouts as before.
## Model Used
- Claude (Anthropic), model ID `claude-fable-5` (Claude Fable 5),
extended thinking, tool use via Claude Code CLI.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
A sandbox control channel loss during an Agent Client Protocol turn left
the host waiting for the four-hour adapter execution timeout.
**Expected behavior**
The host should detect the terminal channel loss, stop the turn, and
report a safe failure without waiting for the agent.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Start an Agent Client Protocol turn through a sandbox adapter.
2. Close the duplex control channel while the turn remains active.
3. Observe the host response before the adapter timeout expires.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Test the pull request commit set at
`10b6bbc5525a79fd575298607dd5a25ae448fc8a`.
**Deployment mode**
The change applies to sandbox-backed adapter execution.
## What Changed
- Add `onLoss(listener)` to the duplex bridge handle.
- Register the loss listener at turn start and read losses latched
before turn start.
- Cancel the turn on loss and arm a 30-second host deadline.
- Close the stream locally when the deadline wins and create a host
terminal.
- Derive the public error from the closed `DuplexLossReason` enum.
- Add tests for loss order, cancellation, timeout, and safe error
output.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec tsc --noEmit`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/adapter-utils exec vitest run
src/acpx-engine/execute.test.ts -t "run-disposition seam"`.
- Confirm that the full pull request workflow passes.
## Risks
The new deadline changes a lost-channel path from a long wait to a
host-built failure after 30 seconds. Orderly completion keeps its
existing behavior. The deadline race against a pending `turn.result` has
no direct test.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, with tool use and code execution. The runtime does
not expose a more specific deployment version or context-window size.

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
> - The release pipeline promotes canary → nightly → beta → stable, and
the nightly lane is gated by the Docker release smoke, a Playwright walk
of first-run onboarding against the exact published artifact
> - Onboarding changed twice since the smoke was last updated: the
connect step now opens as a model-source question (#12796, #12801), and
the seeded first task now opens as a chat with the lead that
deliberately creates no run until the user answers (#13068)
> - The smoke still waited for an immediate "Connect" button and then
polled for an assignment-triggered heartbeat run, so it failed every
scheduled nightly since 2026-09-03 and blocked all nightly and beta
promotions
> - This pull request updates the smoke to follow the current arc: pick
the Claude source tile, press Connect, launch, then assert the seeded
chat greeting, the opening question card, and the absence of heartbeat
runs
> - The benefit is a release pipeline that can promote current master
again, with the smoke asserting the product's current contract instead
of a removed one
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The scheduled nightly lane of `release.yml` has failed every night since
2026-09-03. The `smoke_nightly / smoke` job fails in
`tests/release-smoke/docker-auth-onboarding.spec.ts` at
`expect(connectButton).toBeVisible()`. No nightly has published since
`2026.902.0-nightly.0`, so no beta can promote recent master.
**Expected behavior**
The release smoke follows the current onboarding arc and passes against
a healthy published artifact. The nightly lane promotes the newest green
canary each night.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run `PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=2026.910.0-canary.5 SMOKE_DETACH=true
./scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh`.
2. Run `pnpm run test:release-smoke` against the container with the
previous spec.
3. The spec times out waiting for a "Connect" button. The step now shows
a model-source tile row first, and after launch the seeded task is a
chat with no heartbeat run.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced against published `paperclipai@2026.910.0-canary.5`; spec
updated on current `master`.
## What Changed
- The spec answers the connect step's model-source question: it asserts
the "Connect a model" heading, picks the Claude tile from the "Model
source" radiogroup, and only then waits for the "Connect" footer button
(#12796, #12801 rebuilt the step around that question).
- The spec replaces the assignment-run poll with the first-task chat
contract from #13068: it asserts the deterministic greeting ("Welcome to
Paperclip!"), the opening question card ("What would you like to do?"),
and that the lead has zero heartbeat runs, because launch must not wake
the assignee before the user answers.
## Verification
- Launched the CI harness locally: `scripts/docker-onboard-smoke.sh`
with `PAPERCLIPAI_VERSION=2026.910.0-canary.5` (the newest canary, the
one the next nightly would promote).
- `pnpm run test:release-smoke` against that container: 1 passed.
- The previous spec against the same container reproduces the CI failure
mode first (Connect-button wait), and after the connect-step fix, the
run-poll failure — both match the nightly logs.
## Risks
- Low risk: the change touches only the release smoke spec. If
onboarding's copy for the greeting or the question card changes, the
smoke fails loudly at that assertion, which is this suite's job.

thinking and tool use enabled.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server has a task-drain admission hold so operators can stop new
agent work and wait for quiescence before maintenance
> - Cloud deploys restart tenant containers, but the Cloud control plane
has no sanctioned credential for the drain routes, so agent runs are
killed mid-restart
> - The only Cloud credential this server trusts is the runtime identity
assertion, deliberately scoped to the one-time bootstrap health call
> - This pull request adds a disjoint, action-bound Cloud control
assertion accepted only on the task-drain endpoint
> - The benefit is that Cloud can hold new work and drain a stack before
it restarts the container, through the same authorization and audit
paths a human operator uses
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #12485 (the task-drain admission hold this makes reachable for the
Cloud control plane).
**Problem or motivation**
Cloud deploys restart the container without stopping agent work first.
The task-drain hold from #12485 exists for exactly this, but its routes
require instance-admin board authority. The Cloud control plane holds no
such credential: the runtime identity assertion is accepted only on `GET
/api/health`, by design. So in-flight runs die at every deploy.
**Proposed solution**
A second, deliberately disjoint use of the same Cloud signing key
(`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_RUNTIME_IDENTITY_JWKS`): a control assertion with its
own JWS type (`paperclip-cloud-control+jwt`), its own audience, an
`action` claim, a request id, and a short maximum lifetime. A new
middleware accepts the `x-paperclip-cloud-control` header only on
`/api/instance/task-drain`, binds each method to one exact action
(`task-drain:read` / `task-drain:start` / `task-drain:stop`), verifies
the assertion against the configured JWKS and
`PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_STACK_ID`, and installs a synthetic instance-admin
board actor so the existing route authorization, validation,
transactional audit, and activity publishing run unchanged (audit rows
record actor id `paperclip-cloud`). The header is rejected with 400
anywhere else, so it can never become an ambient credential. The board
mutation guard exempts the new `cloud_control` source exactly like the
other non-browser lanes.
**Alternatives considered**
Widening the existing runtime identity middleware would conflate a
one-time bootstrap claim with a repeatable management credential and
weaken both. A per-stack minted instance-admin API key would work with
no auth change but adds a long-lived privileged credential per tenant to
store and rotate. The action-bound short-lived assertion keeps
authorization per-call and stateless.
**Additional context**
Self-hosted instances have no `PAPERCLIP_CLOUD_STACK_ID` and reject
every assertion — the feature is inert off Cloud. A runtime identity
token cannot replay as a control token or vice versa (disjoint `typ` and
`aud`, covered by tests). The Cloud-side caller (drain before deploy,
bounded quiescence wait) lands separately in the Cloud control plane.
## What Changed
- `server/src/services/cloud-runtime-identity.ts`:
`verifyCloudControlAssertion` plus the control
header/audience/type/action constants, reusing the existing JWKS
resolution, JWS parsing, and lifetime discipline.
- `server/src/middleware/cloud-control.ts` (new): accepts the header
only on the task-drain endpoint, per-method action binding, installs the
synthetic instance-admin actor on success, 401 on invalid assertions,
400 anywhere else.
- `server/src/app.ts`: mounts the middleware directly after the actor
middleware, so a valid assertion replaces whatever actor the request
otherwise resolved to.
- `server/src/middleware/board-mutation-guard.ts`: `cloud_control` joins
the non-browser exemptions.
- `server/src/types/express.d.ts`,
`server/src/services/authorization.ts`: `"cloud_control"` added to the
actor source unions.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/__tests__/cloud-control-task-drain.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/instance-settings-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-drain.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-scheduling-suppression.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/cloud-runtime-identity.test.ts` — 87 tests, all
passing.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec tsc --noEmit` reports no new
errors against the base commit's known pre-existing set.
- The new suite covers: acceptance per method, cross-action rejection,
unknown-action rejection, runtime-identity-token replay rejection,
wrong-audience rejection, wrong-stack and self-hosted rejection, expiry
and oversized-lifetime rejection, unknown-key rejection, request id
validation, endpoint containment (400 elsewhere, 400 on unbound
methods), pass-through without the header, and the mutation-guard
exemption.
## Risks
Low risk, additive. No behavior changes without the header; the header
grants nothing outside the one endpoint; each assertion authorizes one
action for at most five minutes; the existing route-level validation,
queued transitions, and audit writes are unchanged. The browser-facing
Cloud proxy strips Cloud headers, and possession of the shared
tenant-session token cannot mint an assertion (signing key never leaves
Cloud).

one changes

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public issue exists for this specific split; opening directly per
CONTRIBUTING.md path B, following the bug report template fields.
**What happened?**
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` pins
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` at an exact `0.70.0`.
`packages/adapters/claude-local/package.json` requires `^0.73.0` (added
in #12730, 2026-09-02). Nobody re-synced `paperclip-runner`'s pin after
that change — the two packages' dependency graphs are independent, so a
bump in one doesn't propagate to the other. `paperclip-runner`'s copy is
what the fleet sandbox image's provider pack actually ships, so every
managed sandbox built from current source carries a `claude-agent-acp`
version the server-side adapter's own declared compatibility range
excludes.
**Expected behavior**
The two packages' `claude-agent-acp` pins should stay within a mutually
compatible range, so a sandbox image built from this source always ships
a version the server-side adapter actually supports.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Check `packages/adapters/claude-local/package.json`'s
`@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` range (`^0.73.0`).
2. Check `packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`'s pin for the same
package (`0.70.0` before this PR).
3. Note that `^0.73.0` on a `0.x` version only admits patch releases
(`>=0.73.0 <0.74.0` per semver caret rules), so `0.70.0` falls outside
it.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`master` as of this PR (paperclip-runner still at `0.70.0` prior to this
change; claude-local's `^0.73.0` requirement landed in #12730).
**Deployment mode**
Any deployment that runs `claude_local` agents through the ACP engine
against a sandbox image built from `packages/paperclip-runner`'s
provider pack (managed cloud sandboxes in particular).
Related PRs for context (not duplicates — none of these touch
`paperclip-runner`'s pin):
- #12730 — introduced the `^0.73.0` requirement in `claude-local`
- #11873 — the last time `paperclip-runner`'s pin moved (`0.69.0` →
`0.70.0`)
- #13105 — separately made an unavailable ACP engine a hard failure
instead of a silent CLI fallback, which is what turned this version
split into a visible, run-blocking error rather than a quiet downgrade
## What Changed
- Bump `@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp` from `0.70.0` to `0.73.0`
(exact pin, matching this package's existing pin style for its other
agent-CLI dependencies) in `packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`.
- Update the corresponding hardcoded version assertion (`test
"$(claude-agent-acp --version)" = "0.70.0"`) in
`docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile` to `0.73.0`, so its own build-time
check stays accurate instead of failing on the next build for an
unrelated reason.
- `pnpm-lock.yaml` is intentionally **not** included —
`pr-trusted.yml`'s `Validate dependency resolution and regenerate stale
lockfile` step already regenerates it for the merge tree and hands it to
downstream `--frozen-lockfile` jobs as an artifact, so a manual lockfile
commit here would just be stale the moment CI runs.
## Verification
- `0.73.0` is a real published version on npm (confirmed via `npm view
@agentclientprotocol/claude-agent-acp versions`), and it's the *only*
version satisfying claude-local's `^0.73.0` range, so this isn't a guess
at compatibility — it's the unique intersection of both packages'
declared ranges.
- `grep -rn "0\.70\.0" docker/ packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`
after this change shows no remaining stale references to the old pin.
- I did not run a full local install/test pass against a hand-updated
lockfile, since regenerating one locally would conflict with leaving
`pnpm-lock.yaml` untouched per the note above; CI's own
lockfile-regeneration step is the intended verification path for a
manifest-only dependency bump like this one.
- Downstream/full verification (does a sandbox image actually built with
this pin work end-to-end) is tracked separately in `paperclip-cloud` —
an unrelated internal-only repo, so not linked here — where a sibling
fix restores the ACP servers to the runtime `PATH` in the fleet sandbox
image itself; both fixes are needed together for a working sandbox, but
this PR is scoped to the version pin alone.
## Risks
- Low risk: single-line dependency version bump plus a matching
test-assertion update, no code changes. `0.73.0` is a patch release
within claude-local's own already-declared-safe range, so there's no
reason to expect it changes behavior tenants depend on.
- The main risk is unknown breaking changes between `claude-agent-acp`
0.70.0 and 0.73.0 that aren't caught by the version-string assertion
alone (that check only confirms the binary reports the right version,
not that its behavior is unchanged). I have not audited that package's
own changelog between those versions.
- `docker/daytona-runner/Dockerfile` is a parallel/reference image (per
its own header comment, meant to stay aligned with the private
`paperclip-cloud/fleet-sandbox-image/Dockerfile`, which is out of scope
here) — this PR does not touch that other Dockerfile.
## Model Used
Claude Sonnet 5 (`claude-sonnet-5`), via Claude Code, with tool use
(file edits, shell/git, `gh` CLI, `npm view` for version verification).
No extended-thinking mode. Standard Claude Code context window.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Agent setup connects each agent to a model provider.
> - The organization can already hold subscription logins and API keys.
> - The simplified setup flow did not consistently offer those saved
credentials.
> - This pull request restores reuse and selects a saved connection by
default.
> - Agents keep secret references, so reuse does not copy or rotate
credentials.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related change: #13011. Searched public issues and PRs; no duplicate fix
found.
**What happened?**
Onboarding and new-agent setup could ask for a new API key or sign-in
despite an existing saved connection. A general environment auth signal
could also be mistaken for the owner's saved Claude subscription.
**Expected behavior**
Offer saved credentials from the selected organization. Default to a
saved subscription when one exists. Otherwise select a saved API key.
Keep the option to enter a new key or sign in to another account.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Save a Claude or OpenAI API key, or complete a supported subscription
login.
2. Add another agent with the same provider.
3. Open the provider connection step.
4. Check whether the saved credential is available and selected.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on 5cb4f061d after #13011. This branch is rebased onto
current master.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. Tested in an isolated local test drive with embedded
storage and board access.
## What Changed
- Add a shared saved-credential lookup and picker for active personal
and organization keys.
- Reuse saved Claude subscriptions and saved Codex account homes. Select
an existing connection by default.
- Preserve secret references through connection tests and agent
creation, including the native Claude and Codex runner setup paths.
- Store newly entered onboarding keys separately. Do not rotate another
agent's key.
- Keep explicit choices during metadata refresh. Prevent refreshes from
remounting an active login panel.
- Add integration tests and production-component Storybook stories.
Document connection reuse.
## Verification
- All 5,628 UI tests passed before rebase.
- Twenty targeted server credential tests passed.
- UI typecheck, UI build, token gates, and diff whitespace checks
passed.
- Browser walkthroughs covered onboarding and new-agent setup, saved
keys, saved subscription fixtures, and new sign-in screens.
- Live Claude and Codex API-key probes succeeded. Created both agents
and confirmed that each retained its saved-secret reference. Both secret
versions remained unchanged. Codex passed after one retry.
- Live subscription authentication was not repeated. Subscription flows
use fixture browser tests and integration tests.
- After rebase and the cache fix, all 109 focused onboarding and
agent-creation tests passed.
- Full repository `pnpm build` and `pnpm -r typecheck` passed.
- The full local test attempt encountered timeouts and embedded
PostgreSQL startup failures under parallel load. All four affected
suites passed in isolation: 20 tests, with no code changes. The complete
CI matrix passed, including all workspace, general server, serialized
server, browser end-to-end, build, typecheck, and canary dry-run checks.
- Greptile reviewed commit d53ddf6b82c101d35894587afc9b0d135a5abc55:
5/5, successful check, no review threads.
## Risks
- The default connection mode changes when saved credentials exist. A
saved subscription takes priority over saved API keys; personal keys
appear before organization keys.
- A listed credential can be expired or unavailable in the selected
environment. The existing connection test still checks it.
- No database migration or API contract change is required.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-6. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning,
code execution, repository tools, and browser automation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server records actions that change issues and their queued
comments
> - The queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard routes changed queue
state without activity rows
> - Operators could not inspect these queue mutations in the activity
feed
> - This pull request adds one identifier-only activity row for each
successful queue mutation
> - The benefit is a durable audit trail with no comment text in the
activity log
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard routes now record their
successful mutations in the activity feed.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (server and ui).
**Current behavior**
The three queue mutation routes change queued comments but do not write
an activity row. The activity feed has no label for these actions.
**Proposed behavior**
Each successful route writes one activity row with the actor fields,
entity fields, queue identifiers, and queue revision. The discard row
also includes the cancelled run identifier. The activity feed shows a
label for each action.
**Reason and benefit**
Operators need a durable record of queue changes. Identifier-only
details support audit and troubleshooting without storing comment text.
**Breaking changes**
None. The routes keep their existing response and authorization
behavior.
**Additional context**
Each mutation writes its activity row on the same locked transaction
that applies the mutation, so the two commit or roll back together. The
route publishes the live activity event only after that transaction
commits. The separate comment-cancel route opts out of this write and
keeps its existing single activity row.
## What Changed
- Add activity rows for queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard
mutations.
- Include queue identifiers, revisions, ordered comment identifiers, and
cancelled run identifiers as applicable.
- Add activity-feed labels for the three new actions.
- Add route and activity-format tests for the new behavior.
- Write each activity row on the same transaction as the mutation it
records, through a new port method that the adapter implements.
- Keep the comment-delete route opted out of that write, so a
cancellation does not log two rows.
## Verification
- [x] `npx vitest run
server/src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts` passes.
- [x] `npx vitest run ui/src/lib/activity-format.test.ts` passes.
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` exits 0.
- [x] `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` exits 0.
- [x] `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` passes.
- [x] The full CI suite is green.
## Risks
Low risk. The change adds activity rows after successful mutations and
does not change route responses, authorization, or stored comment text.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 Codex. The model used repository inspection, Git
operations, and command execution. The context window and reasoning mode
are not exposed by this runtime.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server coordinates issue execution and agent wake events
> - Queued comment mutations belong to the wake queue that owns their
state
> - Route-local database writes split queue rules across two layers
> - This pull request moves those mutations into the wake-queue module
and keeps route authorization and response mapping
> - The benefit is one transaction boundary with company-scoped writes
and a shared checked response contract
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard endpoints write queue
state directly from the route layer.
**Subsystem affected**
server/ — REST API and orchestration services.
**Current behavior**
The route layer owns database transactions, locks, queue writes, and
wake-row writes for queued comments.
**Proposed behavior**
The wake-queue module owns these operations. The routes keep
authorization, input checks, error mapping, and response mapping.
**Reason and benefit**
The module gives all queued-comment callers one transaction boundary and
applies company predicates to every adapter read and write.
**Breaking changes**
None. The endpoints keep their existing paths and response behavior.
## What Changed
- Move queued-comment edit, reorder, and discard operations into the
wake-queue module.
- Add company predicates to seven queue writes.
- Use the shared queue contract type for mutation responses.
- Add module tests and route tests for the moved operations.
## Verification
- `server/src/modules/wake-queue`: 128 tests pass across 6 files.
- `server/src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts`: 19 tests
pass.
- The server TypeScript check reports the same 141 pre-existing errors
before and after this change.
- GitHub Actions must pass the required pull-request checks.
## Risks
The change moves transaction and lock ownership across module
boundaries. The new adapter, use-case, and route tests cover the moved
behavior. No database schema changes occur.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, current agent runtime, tool use and code review
support.

## 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

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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The `codex_local` adapter signs agents in to OpenAI, and a company
keeps one default Codex identity in its shared company home
> - A login with a DIFFERENT account than the company default is
deliberately kept out of the shared home — one agent's sign-in must not
switch every unbound agent's credentials — but that left the
cross-account login inert: nothing connected the agent the operator was
configuring to the credential the login stored
> - The stored credential and its company secret already exist; only the
last mile — an agent actually using them — was missing
> - This pull request reports a non-secret binding claim on the
authenticated login and lets the agent page bind that one agent's
`CODEX_HOME` to the account's secret, exactly and only when the
identities differ
> - The benefit is that multi-account Codex becomes one click on the
agent that needs it, with company-wide identity untouched
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
On an agent's detail page, "Sign in with Codex" using a different OpenAI
account than the company default succeeds but changes nothing for that
agent. The credential lands in the per-identity store and a company
secret names it, but the agent keeps using the company default. The Test
keeps reporting that authentication is needed, and no repeat login
helps.
**Expected behavior**
When the operator deliberately signs an agent's page in with a different
account, that agent starts using that account. Agents that were not part
of the action keep the company default. A same-account login keeps
working through the shared company home with no per-agent pinning.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a company whose Codex home holds account A.
2. Open a `codex_local` agent's detail page with a sandbox environment
and complete "Sign in with Codex" using account B.
3. Press Test. Before this change the agent still resolves account A and
the authentication-needed check returns.
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/codex-local` — the prerequisite shield:
`isCodexAuthCachePath` recognizes per-identity credential-store entries,
and `seedManagedCodexHome` refuses to symlink, heal, or
API-key-overwrite an entry's `auth.json`. The seeding pass runs before
every probe and execute; without the shield, an agent bound to an entry
would have its stored login silently swapped for the host credential.
Static shared config files still copy in. Rotation already survives
binding: the sandbox copy-back writes rotated credentials into the
identity-keyed store slot.
- `server` — the promotion records whether the company default home
ended on a different account than the login (any read failure degrades
to `false`, so the client can never be told to bind wrongly). After the
terminal commit, the routes layer remembers a non-secret claim — the
opaque account-home secret id plus that verdict — in a bounded in-memory
map, and merges it into the owner read of an `authenticated`
`codex_local` session. A restart drops the claim; the panel then shows
plain success.
- `packages/shared` — `CodexAccountBindingClaim` on the owner session
response. It carries no account identifier and no credential byte.
- `ui` — the login panel reports the claim upward once. The edit-mode
form binds the agent's `CODEX_HOME` to the secret and saves in one step,
only when `companyIdentityDiffers` is true. Same-account logins bind
nothing on purpose: the company-home refresh already carried them, and
an unbound agent keeps following the company default across rotations.
Create mode is unchanged.
## Verification
- Adapter suite: 381 passed, 1 skipped (includes the new store-entry
shield tests and the path-predicate cases).
- Server suites (8 files): 130 passed, 15 skipped — including two new
route tests that drive a login to `authenticated` and assert the claim
with both identity verdicts.
- UI render suite: 85 passed — including a panel test that the claim is
reported upward exactly once.
- `tsc --noEmit` clean in `packages/shared`, the adapter package, and
`ui`; `server` clean for the touched file.
## Risks
- The bind changes one agent's configuration through the normal
agent-update patch, initiated by the operator's own login on that
agent's page. The failure direction of every fallback is "offer
nothing": a missing claim, a restart, or an unreadable company home all
degrade to no bind.
- The seed shield narrows what the seeding pass may touch; homes outside
the credential store behave exactly as before, covered by the existing
seed tests.
- Builds on the sign-in credential-resolution fix (#13064), now merged;
this branch is rebased onto master and the diff contains only the
binding feature. Supersedes #13066, which GitHub auto-closed when its
stacked base branch was deleted on merge.
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic) — Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended
thinking, agentic tool use in Claude Code (terminal).
**Related PRs (searched; no duplicates found):** #12740, #12082, and
#9621 touch adjacent Codex credential sync paths; #8495 is the standing
hardening effort for probe auth seeding.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The Paperclip Runner manages live agent sessions and their suspend
path.
> - A turn-timeout promise could reject before `reconcileActiveTurn()`
attached its handler.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Capability-live tests failed under load. A turn-timeout promise could
raise an unhandled rejection during a slow interrupt round trip. An idle
provider drain could also exceed its one-second proof budget during
suspend.
**Expected behavior**
The suspend path must observe turn-timeout rejections and allow enough
time for one provider command round trip. It must still fail closed when
the runner does not prove durable suspension.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the capability-live tests on a loaded four-vCPU
continuous-integration host.
2. Delay a `turn/interrupt` reply beyond the turn timeout.
3. Close a live session and observe the suspend barrier.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`01b442b2926ac2010a2fcfbda6592802472ef07f`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the Paperclip Runner test suite.
## What Changed
- Attach the turn-timeout rejection handler inside `armTurnWaiter()` at
promise creation.
- Remove the redundant per-call-site guard in `sendMessage()`.
- Use a uniform five-second provider-drain proof budget, capped by the
outer preparation deadline.
- Remove the unused boolean return from the provider-turn-stop helper.
- Add deterministic tests for the delayed interrupt and the short close
grace period.
## Verification
- `npx vitest run
packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/live-session.test.ts` passed locally
with zero skipped tests.
- `npx vitest run
packages/paperclip-runner/src/live/runnerd-codex-transport.test.ts`
passed locally with zero skipped tests.
- The two new tests appeared in the local run output and were not
skipped.
- The package type-check passed locally.
- GitHub Actions must confirm the full continuous-integration suite,
including `Verify Paperclip Runner`.
## Risks
- The provider-drain wait now allows up to five seconds before the outer
deadline caps it.
- The fail-closed suspend barrier remains unchanged.
- The test suite still depends on the Rust runner binary for
capability-live tests.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5. The runtime provided tool use and code execution.
The runtime did not provide a context-window value.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Paperclip uses GitHub Actions to verify changes before release.
> - The Paperclip Runner has a separate verification boundary.
> - The build job currently runs this verification before the workspace
build.
> - This pull request moves runner verification into its own parallel
job.
> - The benefit is clearer CI results and less wait time for independent
work.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The trusted PR and release verification workflows run Paperclip Runner
verification inside the Build job.
**Subsystem affected**
Cross-cutting (GitHub Actions CI workflows).
**Current behavior**
The Build job runs `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/paperclip-runner
check:all` before it builds the workspace. A runner verification failure
appears as a Build failure. The workspace build cannot run in parallel
with runner verification.
**Proposed behavior**
Each workflow has a `Verify Paperclip Runner` job with the same
checkout, dependency install, and command. The Build job only builds its
required outputs. Both jobs run after the same gate and policy jobs.
**Reason and benefit**
The runner command is an independent verification boundary. A dedicated
job gives it a clear status and allows it to run in parallel with Build.
**Breaking changes**
None. The same runner verification command still runs in both workflows.
## What Changed
- Added a dedicated `Verify Paperclip Runner` job to the trusted PR
workflow.
- Added a dedicated `Verify Paperclip Runner` job to the release
verification workflow.
- Kept the Build jobs independent and retained their existing build
commands.
- Updated the trusted-workflow policy test for the additional
dependency-install job.
## Verification
- Ran `git diff --check`.
- Ran `node --test ./scripts/__tests__/e2e-shard.test.mjs`.
- Ran `pnpm exec prettier --check .github/workflows/pr-trusted.yml
.github/workflows/release-verify.yml`.
- Confirmed both jobs retain their prior runner, dependency, and policy
prerequisites.
## Risks
Low risk. The runner verification job repeats the existing setup. It
adds one parallel GitHub Actions runner to each affected workflow.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5.6, 128k context window, reasoning and tool-use
capabilities.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Paperclip uses separate server and UI TypeScript projects to build
and test the app
> - The test transform tool finds the nearest tsconfig that includes
each test file
> - Two test setup files had no governing tsconfig inside the repository
> - The lookup then read a tsconfig outside the repository and stopped
test runs when that file was invalid
> - This pull request adds a server test tsconfig and includes the UI
setup file in the UI tsconfig
> - The benefit is stable test configuration in every repository
worktree
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The test transform tool walked outside the repository because two test
setup files had no tsconfig that included them. A stale or invalid
parent checkout then stopped server and UI test runs with
`TSCONFIG_ERROR`.
**Expected behavior**
Each test setup file must use a governing tsconfig inside the
repository. Test runs must not depend on a tsconfig outside the
repository.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Run the server test command in a clean worktree.
2. Run the UI test command in the same worktree.
3. Observe that the transform tool searches above the repository for the
setup files when no local tsconfig includes them.
**Paperclip version or commit**
`04eb274fa12007392e468fc808d3ad12fbdcb02e`
**Deployment mode**
Built from source with the local test commands.
**Installation method**
Built from source with pnpm.
**Agent adapter(s) involved**
Not adapter-specific (core bug).
**Database mode**
Not database-related.
## What Changed
- Add `server/src/__tests__/tsconfig.json` for the server test setup
directory.
- Add `vitest.setup.ts` to the `include` array in `ui/tsconfig.json`.
- Keep `server/tsconfig.json` unchanged, so the build graph does not
change.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/server
server/src/modules/wake-queue/domain/policy.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm exec vitest run --project @paperclipai/ui
ui/src/adapters/adapter-display-registry.test.ts`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server run typecheck`.
- Run `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui run typecheck`.
- Confirm that the test commands report no `TSCONFIG_ERROR`.
- Confirm that the full pull request workflow passes.
## Risks
This change adds one scoped server tsconfig and expands one UI tsconfig
include list. It does not change application runtime code, database
schema, or production build settings. Risk is low.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, accessed through the Codex agent with tool use and
repository execution. The model used reasoning and code inspection to
assist this change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The heartbeat service admits wake requests while an issue has an
active execution run.
> - That admission branch mixes wake policy, database reads, and
database writes in one service.
> - This structure makes the wake-queue boundary hard to test and
extend.
> - This pull request moves the admission policy and its database
adapter into the wake-queue module.
> - The result keeps heartbeat orchestration small and makes the
admission behavior testable in isolation.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The heartbeat service now delegates deferred wake admission to the
wake-queue module. The module keeps the existing merge, defer, and
ordinary-wake outcomes.
**Subsystem affected**
server/ — REST API and orchestration services.
**Current behavior**
The heartbeat service contains a 146-line branch that reads wake state,
chooses an outcome, and writes the result.
**Proposed behavior**
The wake-queue module owns the pure admission decision and the adapter
reads and writes. The heartbeat service calls one module method.
**Reason and benefit**
This boundary reduces service coupling and lets module tests cover the
admission policy. The change keeps the existing reason strings and
outcomes.
**Breaking changes**
None. The change preserves the current behavior and public API.
**Additional context**
This pull request follows [PR
#13132](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pull/13132), which
merged the first slice of this refactor. I searched GitHub for duplicate
and related pull requests before opening this pull request.
## What Changed
- Move deferred wake admission policy into
`server/src/modules/wake-queue`.
- Add module ports and a PostgreSQL adapter for the admission reads and
writes.
- Keep the existing wake outcomes and stored reason strings.
- Extend the module boundary check to reject service imports from the
application layer.
- Add unit and adapter tests for the moved behavior.
## Verification
- `node --test scripts/check-module-boundaries.test.mjs` passes.
- The `server/src/modules/wake-queue` suite passes 58 tests.
- The eight pinned heartbeat and queued-comment tests remain unchanged
and require CI verification.
- Every continuous-integration check must reach a terminal green state
before merge.
## Risks
The refactor changes the location of wake admission logic. A missed
adapter condition could change deferred wake behavior. The tests cover
the policy outcomes and the adapter writes. The residual tenant-scope
risk remains documented in the review record.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code execution. The implementation
author ran the tests and prepared the commit set.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server uses a deferred wake queue to release work at the correct
time
> - The wake queue had repeated decisions, helpers, queries, and
recovery data
> - This repetition made the module harder to read and left a drain
invariant implicit
> - This pull request moves pure decisions into the policy layer and
simplifies the queue flow
> - The benefit is a smaller, clearer module with the same behavior and
direct test coverage
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13136
**Problem:** The deferred wake queue carried repeated logic across the
application and database layers.
**Expected behavior:** The queue keeps the same wake, release, recovery,
and escalation behavior after the refactor.
**Solution:** Move pure decisions into the policy layer, share repeated
data and predicates, and state the drain invariant in the application
layer.
## What Changed
- Remove the unused database port method and carry the blocked release
notice kind as a typed field.
- Move four pre-drain decisions into pure policy functions with
table-driven tests.
- Resolve the responsible user once in the application layer.
- Use the canonical helper for agent invokability checks.
- Share string helpers and run predicates across the module.
- Split the deferred-wake decision flow and share recovery facts with a
discriminator.
- Bound the drain loop and throw when it processes a wake identifier
twice.
- Rename queue ports to describe their behavior.
- Share row-loading code between stranded-issue escalation adapters.
- Restore the interaction-continuation integration test case.
## Verification
- Run the three wake-queue module test files. They pass 61 cases
locally.
- Run `pnpm check:module-boundaries`. It passes locally.
- Run the `server/` type-check and confirm that no error names the
changed wake-queue module or `heartbeat.ts`.
- Run continuous integration and confirm that `promotes an interaction
continuation after removing a coalesced self-authored comment` passes.
## Risks
The change refactors queue control flow and database adapter boundaries.
The main risk is a behavior change in deferred wake release or recovery.
The new policy tests and the restored integration case cover these
paths. The local environment cannot run the integration test because the
same dependency failure occurs on the base branch.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #10195
## What Changed
- Move the release half of deferred issue execution from `heartbeat.ts`
into `server/src/modules/wake-queue/`.
- Add pure policy decisions with table-driven tests.
- Claim a wake before the reopen write and advance to the next wake when
the claim fails.
- Add company predicates to guarded reads and writes.
- Pass the transaction-scoped issue snapshot to reader ports.
- Keep `releaseIssueExecutionAndPromote` as the public wrapper.
## Verification
- Run `pnpm check:module-boundaries`.
- Run `pnpm exec tsc --noEmit` inside `server/` and compare the result
with the known baseline.
- Run the wake-queue unit and adapter tests in continuous integration.
- Check the promotion-claim ordering, guarded writes, transaction-scoped
reads, and cross-company outcomes.
- Search the pull request diff for internal issue identifiers.
## Risks
- The refactor changes the transaction path for deferred wake release.
- A stale or lost wake claim now skips that wake and continues with the
next queued wake.
- The public wrapper keeps its name and signature, which limits caller
risk.
- Continuous integration must confirm the full server test suite and
build.

## 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.

Auto-generated lockfile refresh after dependencies changed on master.
This PR only updates pnpm-lock.yaml.
Co-authored-by: lockfile-bot <lockfile-bot@users.noreply.github.com>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server package is published to npm, but its native-runtime
driver code lives in `packages/paperclip-runner`, a private workspace
package that is never published
> - So the server build vendors the runner's compiled code by copying it
in directly, instead of taking it as a normal npm dependency
> - But `cp -R` only copies code, not `node_modules`, so every npm
package the runner imports has to be re-declared by hand in
`server/package.json` to stay resolvable once vendored
> - That hand mirroring step is silent and easy to forget: it missed
`smol-toml` in #13110, and CI stayed green while production crash-looped
3 seconds into every start (#13116)
> - This pull request keeps the proven `cp -R` vendor step exactly as it
was, and adds a build check that derives the required dependency set
from an esbuild scan of the vendored entry points, failing loudly and
precisely if any package the runner actually needs isn't declared in
`server/package.json`
> - The benefit is the dependency list is now verified against the real
module graph instead of hand-copied, so this exact class of bug cannot
pass a green build again -- without changing how the runner's code is
laid out on disk, which several of its modules depend on for unrelated
filesystem lookups
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs: #13110 (introduced the `smol-toml` import that the vendor step
could not resolve), #13116 (the follow-up fix for a different oversight
in the same PR), #11813 (the same "vendored package installed outside
the monorepo dependency graph loses a runtime dependency" failure shape,
in the Kubernetes plugin installer instead of the server build)
No issue exists yet for this specific incident, so per CONTRIBUTING.md
option (B):
**What happened?**
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` added `smol-toml` as a runtime
dependency in #13110. `server/package.json`'s existing convention (see
`acpx`, `ajv`) requires mirroring every runtime dependency the vendored
runner imports into `server/package.json` too, because the server build
copies the runner's compiled `dist/` tree with `cp -R` -- code only, no
`node_modules`. That mirroring step was missed. CI never runs the
compiled server (`node dist/index.js`); it only builds it, type-checks
it, and boots the app in dev mode via `tsx` against source, which never
touches the vendored path. So the PR merged green, and the deployed
server crash-looped in production:
```
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'smol-toml' imported from
/srv/paperclip/app/server/dist/vendor/paperclip-runner/drivers/codex/codex-startup-trust.js
```
**Expected behavior**
Any npm package the vendored runner code needs at runtime should either
be guaranteed present by construction, or the build should fail with a
clear, actionable error before the change ever reaches a PR -- not
silently pass CI and fail only once deployed.
**Steps to reproduce (the original incident)**
1. Add a new runtime dependency to
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` (e.g. a TOML parser) and use it
from a module reachable from the runner's `index.ts` export graph.
2. Do not add the same dependency to `server/package.json`.
3. Run `pnpm build` in `server/` -- it succeeds.
4. Run `node dist/index.js` -- it crashes with `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND`
for the new package.
## What Changed
- **Revision note:** the first version of this PR replaced the `cp -R`
vendor step with an esbuild bundle of the runner's entry points.
Greptile's review correctly caught that this broke packaged
ACPX/OpenCode provider startup: several runner modules resolve sibling
build artifacts via `import.meta.url`-relative filesystem paths (not JS
imports) at whatever depth their source file sits at, and bundling
collapses/rearranges that layout. The current version keeps the file
layout untouched and only adds verification. See the second commit's
message for the full explanation.
- `server/scripts/verify-runner-vendor-dependencies.mjs`: a new build
step that runs esbuild with `write: false` (a pure module-graph scan --
nothing is written to disk) against the runner's two entry points server
actually imports (`index.js`, `testing.js`), with `packages: "external"`
so its metafile reports exactly which npm packages the code needs at
runtime. It fails with a precise, actionable error if any of them isn't
declared in `server/package.json`'s `dependencies`. This is deliberately
more precise than "mirror every dependency the runner declares": running
it against this repo's real manifests shows
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` declares dependencies
(`react-markdown`, the codex/opencode CLI packages, ...) that only its
unrelated `./react` and `./browser` export subpaths use -- server never
imports those, so a blanket mirror rule would demand dependencies server
doesn't actually need.
- `server/package.json`: added the new check into the `build` script
(right after the runner is built, before the expensive `tsc`/copy steps,
so it fails fast), and added `smol-toml` (`^1.4.2`, matching
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json`) to `dependencies` -- the
actual missing piece from #13110. The vendor step (`cp -R
../packages/paperclip-runner/dist/. dist/vendor/paperclip-runner/`) is
unchanged from before this PR.
- Widened `server/vitest.config.ts`'s `include` to also run
`scripts/**/*.test.mjs`, and added
`server/scripts/verify-runner-vendor-dependencies.test.mjs` unit-testing
the pure dependency-diff function (`findMissingVendorDependencies`)
against the exact shape of the `smol-toml` incident, plus a case proving
an unreachable dependency (like `react-markdown`) is correctly never
flagged.
- Updated `server/src/__tests__/server-package-build-script.test.ts`'s
existing build-script assertions to match.
## Verification
- `node --check` on the new script -- syntax OK. `node -e` JSON-parsed
the edited `package.json` files after every edit.
- Unit-verified `findMissingVendorDependencies` directly against:
nothing missing, one missing (the `smol-toml` shape), and multiple
missing with stable sort order.
- Ran the actual check against this repo's real
`packages/paperclip-runner/package.json` and `server/package.json` (via
a standalone `node` invocation, since `pnpm build` needs a Rust
toolchain this sandbox doesn't have -- see below) to see its real
output. It correctly reported `smol-toml`, `acpx`, and `ajv` as already
satisfied, and did **not** flag `react-markdown`, `remark-gfm`,
`json-schema-to-ts`, `opencode-ai`, `@openai/codex`, or the
`@agentclientprotocol/*` packages -- confirming the "reachable from
index.js/testing.js" scoping works as intended and doesn't demand
dependencies server doesn't need.
- Built a fixture tree at a real filesystem location (not just
in-process) mimicking `packages/paperclip-runner`: a manifest declaring
both a reachable dependency (`smol-toml`, actually imported by the
fixture's `dist/index.js`/`testing.js`) and an unreachable one
(`react-markdown`, declared but never imported). Copied the real script
next to a fixture `server/package.json` and ran it as its own process
(`node server/scripts/verify-runner-vendor-dependencies.mjs`), twice:
- `smol-toml` missing from the fixture's server dependencies → the
script throws with the exact intended message and exits 1.
- `smol-toml` present, `react-markdown` absent → the script exits 0,
proving the unreachable dependency is correctly never flagged.
- Not verified locally: the real `packages/paperclip-runner` build, and
therefore the check running end-to-end against its true
`dist/index.js`/`dist/testing.js`. This sandbox has no Rust toolchain
(the runner's own build compiles a Cargo binary) and an incomplete
workspace install. CI's `Build` job (`.github/workflows/pr-trusted.yml`)
runs the real thing; I'll watch it on this PR.
## Risks
- The check's precision (scoping to what's reachable from
`index.js`/`testing.js`, rather than every declared runner dependency)
means a dependency that becomes reachable through some *other* export
subpath server starts importing later would need this check's
entry-point list updated too. That list is a 2-line array in the script
with a comment explaining why, and matches the only two paths server/src
actually imports today (verified by a repo-wide search).
- This only changes a build-time check; the actual vendored file layout
(`cp -R` of the runner's whole compiled tree) is byte-for-byte the same
as before this PR, so there's no behavioral change to the running server
beyond `smol-toml` now being present as intended.
- I could not exercise the real Rust-backed build locally (no Cargo in
this sandbox); see Verification. I am relying on CI's `Build` job to
confirm this end to end and will fix forward if it surfaces something
the fixture-based testing didn't.

## Thinking Path
A fleet rollout failed with `image_manifest_not_found` for a commit that
had merged and gone green. Tracing that back: the fleet resolves
releases against the `-cloud` image, that image comes from `docker.yml`,
and `docker.yml`'s runs on master have been reading `cancelled` for a
long stretch. The cloud half was fine; the production half was hanging
and taking the run down with it — and, because a run holds the
concurrency slot for its whole duration, starving later commits of a
build at all.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No tracking issue — described inline, per CONTRIBUTING.md.
**What's wrong.** `build-and-push` builds `linux/amd64,linux/arm64` on
an x86 runner, so arm64 runs under QEMU. It hangs there —
deterministically, in the same step:
```
#111 [linux/arm64 build 8/10] RUN pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server build
```
…then emits nothing until `timeout-minutes: 60` kills it. Three
consecutive runs on 2026-09-04, silent for **38, 43 and 45 minutes**
respectively. The amd64 leg reached `production 5/5` minutes earlier in
every one.
**Why it stayed hidden.** A timed-out job is reported by GitHub as
**cancelled, not failed**. The run conclusion reads "cancelled", which
looks like supersession rather than breakage, so the production image
quietly stopped publishing.
**The knock-on.** A run that burns the full hour holds the top-level
concurrency slot for that hour. `cancel-in-progress: false` keeps
exactly one pending slot, so merges arriving faster than one an hour
supersede each other while queued. Sampling the last ten master commits,
**five produced no image at all** — their Docker runs have zero job
records because they never started.
**Expected.** Both architectures publish, and a commit merged during a
busy period still gets an image.
## What Changed
`build-and-push` becomes a two-leg matrix, each on a runner of its own
architecture:
| platform | runner |
|---|---|
| `linux/amd64` | `ubuntu-latest` |
| `linux/arm64` | `ubuntu-24.04-arm` |
Each leg pushes **by digest** (`push-by-digest=true`, untagged), and a
new `merge-and-push` job names the digests into one manifest list with
the real lane tags. Nothing is publicly tagged until the merge, so a
half-published multi-arch image is never a pullable state.
Two supporting changes:
- **Per-arch BuildKit cache refs** (`:buildcache-amd64` /
`:buildcache-arm64`). Separate runners sharing one ref would overwrite
each other on every build.
- **The PID-1 orphan-reaping check moves to the merge job**, since that
is where a tagged, pullable image first exists. It still runs against
the pushed image rather than a local build, for the same reason as
before.
**arm64 is kept, not dropped.** The cloud variant is amd64-only and can
be — managed hosts are amd64. This is the self-hosted image and ARM
hosts consume it, so dropping arm64 would break them. GitHub-hosted
arm64 runners are free for public repositories, which this is.
`build-and-push-cloud` is untouched. It was already `platforms:
linux/amd64` and has been succeeding in ~14 minutes throughout — that is
why `-cloud` images exist at all.
## Verification
Parsed the workflow and asserted its shape (jobs, matrix, `needs`, step
order, that the cloud job is unchanged). The artifact actions are pinned
by SHA with version comments, matching the repo's dominant convention —
`upload-artifact` v7 and `download-artifact` v8, the same pins used
across the other workflows; v8 is required for the `pattern` /
`merge-multiple` inputs the merge job uses.
**This PR's CI does not exercise the change.** `docker.yml` triggers on
master and tag pushes, never on pull requests — deliberately, since it
publishes release images. The first real run is after merge, so the
check is: the next master push produces a `Docker` run whose
`build-and-push (amd64)`, `build-and-push (arm64)` and `merge-and-push`
jobs all succeed, and whose conclusion is `success` rather than
`cancelled`.
## Risks
- **Not testable before merge**, per above. If the matrix is wrong the
next master push fails loudly rather than silently — which is already
better than the current state, where the failure mode is an invisible
"cancelled".
- **First use of `ubuntu-24.04-arm` in this repo.** No other workflow
uses an ARM runner. They are free for public repos, but if the label is
unavailable the arm64 leg will fail to schedule and the merge will not
run — no image, same as today, and visible.
- **Digest-push changes the publish shape.** Between the legs finishing
and the merge running, digests exist untagged in ghcr. Anything watching
for tags sees no intermediate state; anything enumerating untagged
manifests will see more of them.
- **Cache refs change name**, so the first build after this lands is
cold on both legs and will be slower than steady state.
- **Does not fix the underlying QEMU hang** — it avoids it. If arm64
ever has to build under emulation again, the same stall is presumably
still there.
- No application code, schema, server or persistence change.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Remote environments realize the workspace at a provider-owned path.
> - Run startup probes Git and network context before it starts the
agent.
> - The probe used the controller path inside the remote environment.
> - A missing directory stopped the run before any provider work began.
> - This pull request uses the remote execution target's working
directory.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13094, which introduced this probe. Related: #8997 and #10419
address other workspace-directory handoffs; this patch fixes the newer
Git-context probe.
**What happened?**
Remote runs failed with `setup_failed: Could not read execution-target
Git context`, including tasks that did not use Git. The provider shell
could not enter the controller's workspace directory.
**Expected behavior**
Startup must inspect Git and network context in the realized remote
workspace.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Select a remote sandbox whose workspace is
`/home/daytona/paperclip-workspace`.
2. Start a task whose controller workspace is under
`/paperclip/instances/default/workspaces/`.
3. The startup probe exits when the controller directory does not exist
in the sandbox.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on `622376e99` and in the regression test before this patch.
**Deployment mode**
Docker controller with a remote Daytona sandbox. The same helper also
serves SSH targets.
## What Changed
- Use `remote.remoteCwd` for the remote Git-context probe.
- Cover a missing controller directory in both credential modes.
- Verify that SSH reads Git metadata from the remote workspace even when
the caller directory exists.
## Verification
- Before the fix, both new missing-directory tests failed with the
reported error.
- The launcher environment suite passes: 18 tests.
- The adapter-utils suite passes: 1,085 passed, 11 skipped.
- Adapter-utils typecheck passes.
- A disposable sandbox with the affected deployment's image reproduced
the old `cd` failure and passed with the corrected helper. The sandbox
was deleted afterward.
- Full repository typecheck and build pass locally. All CI gates pass at
`61b522c`: regular test shards, serialized server suites, browser
shards, Runner verification, build, policy, and security checks.
- The first CI Build attempt hit a Runner suspension-acknowledgment
timeout outside the changed code. The affected 13-case recovery group
passes locally with its Rust fixtures built, and the unchanged CI job
passed on its single retry.
- The full serial local test run was stopped in favor of the complete CI
matrix; it is not claimed as a local pass.
## Risks
The probe now uses the provider-resolved target directory for sandbox
and SSH execution. Local execution keeps its existing directory. There
are no schema or API changes. Existing local credential and Git metadata
tests pass.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 in Codex, with tool-assisted code analysis, implementation,
and live and automated testing. The exact model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed by this session.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Docker workflow publishes the server images that all deployments
pull, including the `sha-*` images that downstream consumers deploy
> - The `build-and-push` job builds for linux/amd64 and QEMU-emulated
linux/arm64, and that build now takes more than its 60 minute job
timeout
> - Every run dies at the timeout, and each doomed hour-long run holds
the per-ref concurrency slot, so queued master pushes supersede each
other and no image publishes at all
> - This pull request raises the multi-arch job timeout to 120 minutes
> - The benefit is that image publishing works again, with headroom for
the build to grow
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related: #12821 replaces the QEMU-emulated arm64 build with native
runners — that is the durable fix for the build duration itself. This PR
is the immediate unblock so images publish again while #12821 lands.
No existing issue for the outage. Description follows the bug report
template:
**What happened?**
The `docker.yml` `build-and-push` job hits its 60 minute
`timeout-minutes` cap on every run. The last fully successful
`docker.yml` run was September 2. Since then almost every run ends
`cancelled`: the multi-arch build is killed at the timeout, and runs
queued behind it are superseded by newer master pushes before they can
start. The amd64-only `build-and-push-cloud` job often still succeeds
inside those cancelled runs, which masked the breakage.
**Expected behavior**
Every master push and canary tag dispatch publishes its `sha-*`
production and cloud images, and the `promote_canary_channel` job runs.
**Steps to reproduce**
Look at the runs of the Docker workflow on master: `gh run list
--workflow docker.yml --branch master`. Nearly every run since September
5 ends `cancelled` or `failure`. Open a cancelled run: the
`build-and-push` job runs for 61+ minutes and its "Build and push" step
ends `cancelled` at the job timeout. The last runs that succeeded
(September 2) took 39 to 54 minutes for the same job.
## What Changed
- Raise `timeout-minutes` on the `build-and-push` job from 60 to 120,
with a comment that explains why. The amd64-only `build-and-push-cloud`
job keeps its 60 minute cap.
## Verification
- `actionlint .github/workflows/docker.yml` reports no issues in this
change (only pre-existing info-level shellcheck notes in untouched
steps).
- Compared job durations across the last successful runs (39-54 minutes)
and the recent timeout kills (61+ minutes) to confirm the cap is the
failure cause.
- After merge, the next master push should produce a `docker.yml` run
that completes with both build jobs green.
## Risks
Low risk. The change only gives the existing build more time. A
genuinely hung build now occupies a runner for up to 120 minutes instead
of 60. The slow arm64 emulated build itself is worth a separate look
(native arm runners or splitting the platforms), but that is a larger
change than this outage fix.
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic) — Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended thinking,
agentic tool use via Claude Code.

Auto-generated lockfile refresh after dependencies changed on master.
This PR only updates pnpm-lock.yaml.
Co-authored-by: lockfile-bot <lockfile-bot@users.noreply.github.com>
## 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 shows agent work in task feeds.
> - Native tools and provider notices appear in that feed.
> - A routine completion call adds no useful action for the user.
> - A provider notice needs readable text to explain its warning.
> - This change hides the completion call and displays the notice
summary.
> - Saved run events remain available for inspection.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
The feed showed paperclip_finish as a normal tool call. Provider notices
showed
a generic name or a large key-value table instead of a clear warning
message.
**Expected behavior**
Hide the routine completion call from the task feed. Show a warning
icon,
a short severity heading, and the full notice summary across the row.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open a native Codex task that calls paperclip_finish.
2. Inspect its tool activity in the task feed.
3. Inspect a run with a repository-trust provider notice.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced on the implementation checkout. Replayed onto master at
6abeb6733.
The search found no duplicate PR for this display change.
**Deployment mode**
Local source checkout with native task feeds.
## What Changed
- Hide paperclip_finish calls and results in task-feed adapters.
- Preserve the raw events for run-log inspection.
- Carry provider-notice text into the transcript.
- Render notices with an icon, severity heading, and full-width summary.
- Cover the display and transcript mapping with regression tests.
## Verification
- The affected UI tests and the token gates passed on the implementation
checkout.
- Browser inspection confirmed the warning text is readable and
completion calls are hidden.
- Repository typecheck and build passed. Repository test groups passed
after resource retests.
- On this PR branch, 123 focused UI tests and the token gates passed.
All GitHub checks passed; Greptile is 5/5 with no unresolved threads.
## Risks
- The task feed hides one known internal tool. Raw run events remain
unchanged.
- Long warning text must wrap within the available width.
- No provider warning classification, accounting, or recovery behavior
changes here.
## 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

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The server manages issue execution, queued comments, and agent wake
state
> - Deferred wakes can pass through several failure, hold, rollback, and
steering branches
> - These branches had no direct tests, so a later change could fail
without clear evidence
> - This pull request adds characterization tests for eight uncovered
branches
> - The benefit is clear test evidence for future changes to deferred
issue execution
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What existing behavior does this improve?**
The server behavior for deferred issue-execution wakes and
queued-comment steering transactions.
**Current behavior**
The code handles missing agents, cross-company agents, pause holds,
rollback, steering outcomes, and invalid reorder sets. These branches
had no direct tests.
**Proposed behavior**
Keep the current behavior and test each branch against the current
implementation.
**Reason and benefit**
The tests make silent behavior changes visible. They also protect the
wake queue while later work moves this logic into a dedicated module.
**Breaking changes**
None. This pull request changes no production code and no runtime
behavior.
Related public pull requests: #12671, #11168, and #10199.
## What Changed
- Add tests for missing and cross-company deferred agents.
- Add tests for pause-hold promotion and cancellation.
- Add a test for atomic rollback when the responsible user cannot
resolve.
- Add tests for successful, timed-out, and rejected native steering.
- Add a test for invalid queued-comment reorder input.
## Verification
- Run `server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-comment-wake-batching.test.ts`
against an embedded Postgres database.
- Run `server/src/__tests__/issue-queued-comments-routes.test.ts`
against an embedded Postgres database.
- Confirm that all eight new tests pass.
- Confirm that the pull request CI checks pass.
## Risks
Low risk. The diff changes test files only. It does not change
production code, database schema, API behavior, or runtime behavior.
## Model Used
Codex, GPT-5, tool use and code review support. The model did not author
production code.

## 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 is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The agents list helps operators scan names, roles, and status.
> - Each row also shows task, heartbeat, trace, pause, and overflow
controls.
> - These controls add a second line to every row and crowd the list.
> - This pull request removes the action bar from list rows.
> - Operators can still use agent detail pages for those actions.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Related: #7543 introduced list actions. #13011 moved the row actions
onto a separate line. No duplicate fix was found.
**What happened?**
The `/agents/all` list shows Assign Task, Run Heartbeat, Run with
provider trace, Pause or Resume, and an overflow menu below each agent.
**Expected behavior**
The agent list should show agent information without this action bar.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open `/agents/all` in an organization with agents.
2. Select the list view.
3. Inspect the controls below each agent name.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced in source at fac07b42a.
**Deployment mode**
Board UI. The change is independent of deployment mode.
## What Changed
- Removed AgentActionButtons from both agent list implementations,
including filtered lists.
- Removed the unused board-access query and trace permission
calculation.
- Kept built-in setup controls, status, and membership actions.
- Enabled the normal Run now control on the streamlined agent detail
page so operators can still trigger a heartbeat there.
- Updated the existing mobile row test and added active/paused row
coverage for both list implementations.
## Verification
- Passed: `pnpm check:token-gates`.
- Passed: `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/Agents.test.tsx
ui/src/components/AgentActionButtons.test.tsx` (27 tests).
- Passed: `pnpm -r typecheck` and `pnpm build`. After the review fixes,
the UI typecheck, UI build, token gates, and targeted tests passed
again.
- Full CI passed on 6d527b02a, including all server/workspace test
shards, browser tests, typecheck, build, and canary dry run.
- Local `pnpm test:run` passed 520 server suites (7,234 tests). The
later UI batch had two Inbox failures under load; an isolated Inbox
rerun passed all 27 tests. Stopped the redundant local full run after
all CI shards passed.
- The CI build first hit an unrelated port collision in a
Codex-credentials test. One rerun passed runner verification and the
full build.
- Greptile: 5/5. Both review threads are resolved.
- Manual review: open the agent list and verify the action bar is
absent. Open an agent to access its actions.
## Risks
- Low risk. This changes agent list rendering and restores the normal
detail-page run control. Operators must open an agent to use the removed
shortcuts.
- No API, database, or permission contracts change.
## Model Used
- OpenAI GPT-6 (Codex). Exact deployment model ID and context window
size are not exposed in this session. Used reasoning, repository
inspection, code editing, and command execution.

Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The native runner carries tool results and task output to the
control plane.
> - A lost connection must not change which run owns a result.
> - A session must not become reusable while provider output is still
pending.
> - This pull request adds strict recovery evidence and bounded drain
barriers.
> - It preserves current PRP version negotiation and session-goal
support.
> - The benefit is safer reuse of native sessions after a transport
failure.
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13038. This is the first of two stacked pull requests. It contains
the native runtime prerequisites. The second pull request contains the
experimental chat-channel integration. It preserves the provider
identity and typed terminal-failure contracts in #13074 and the durable
recovery work in #13075.
**What happened?**
Native session failures could leave retained provider events, incomplete
tool results, or warm handoff state that was not safe to reuse. A later
run could observe output from an earlier authority.
**Expected behavior**
Recovery must preserve exact run, tool, process, artifact, and lease
evidence. Uncertain or corrupt state must fail closed. A successful
close must prove that retained provider output is settled.
**Steps to reproduce**
Run the transport and control-plane regressions. They hold and drop
authenticated frames, fail durable writes, and restart fresh controllers
and runner processes with retained state. Provider executables are local
test fixtures.
## What Changed
- Preserve pending provider cleanup and semantic-result evidence across
session close and restart.
- Add an authenticated warm handoff with exact old and new identities,
durable receipts, and completion acknowledgement.
- Drain retained provider events under the cumulative acknowledgement
fence.
- Reject corrupt tool-result contracts without unsafe provider replay or
reusable checkpoints.
- Keep ordinary PRP v1 sessions and current session-goal behavior.
Require negotiated PRP v2 and acknowledged native session evidence
before warm authority rotation.
- Preserve late semantic inputs and exact durable result receipts until
close can prove settlement.
- Add transport, crash-window, artifact, checkpoint, and final-output
regressions.
- Deduplicate resolved execution delivery under the current issue lock.
Reuse the exact existing successor after concurrent scans or a lost
acknowledgement. Preserve newer operator evidence.
- Persist idle provider integrity/capacity failures before process
retirement, retain permanent model-rejection classification, and keep
external question identifiers out of task instructions.
- Expose only the context source on native status events. Keep thin
dispatch projections compatible without exposing the complete context.
## Verification
- Review-fix revision: 128 runtime-context/native-session tests, five
idle-failure/adjacent Rust cases, 24 warm crash-window cases, three
startup-notification/close cases, and five attach/backlog cases passed.
The security and idle-failure cases were first reproduced failing.
- Prior merged revision: runner production build, TypeScript typecheck,
complete Rust workspace tests and formatting passed; 272 focused runner
tests and two real PostgreSQL regressions passed.
- Earlier full runner runs and CI Build failed on missing
semantic-result fixture receipts, stale local provider fixture bytes,
startup-notification ordering, and a confirmation-loss fixture that
could accidentally send its final ACK. Each cause was reproduced and
corrected without relaxing production authority or close assertions.
These earlier runs are retained as failures, not represented as passing
verification.
- The first local repository-wide run failed before later phases because
the isolated install omitted PostgreSQL's native-library aliases; it
also encountered an unrelated occupied-port fixture. Those results are
retained, not represented as a passing run.
- Exact `335b2ee52709afb3885d4d6ebb2a3ece4b5864d6`: the complete runner
suite passed 1,888 tests, with 10 existing skips. The full Rust release
workspace passed with serial test scheduling. The unchanged parallel
Rust run hit the five-second 300-descendant fixture deadline; that
failure is retained. No deadline or assertion was relaxed.
- The resolved-execution regression suite passed 57 tests, including
concurrent delivery, lost acknowledgement, superseded authority, and
newer operator evidence. Plain server typecheck passed. The
duplicate-delivery cases were first reproduced failing.
- Prior exact `335b2ee52709afb3885d4d6ebb2a3ece4b5864d6` CI passed all
required jobs and Greptile reported 5/5. Its local general-server run
passed 7,208 tests but failed one responsibility fixture; later phases
did not run. The fixture started the next wake while its bounded handoff
was active. It also used nonexistent comment IDs, which hid the current
stored-message-author identity rule. The updated tests use real message
authors, preserve task ownership, and await exact automatic handoffs. No
production identity policy changed.
- Current head `aa39275a1f300f7d1a0b16cd0885eea567cff6b0` includes
current master and the native context-source projection. The focused
identity/status cohort passed 27 tests and plain server typecheck
passed. Fresh full repository tests, types, build, required CI, and
Greptile review are pending. Final results will be updated before merge.
- This is deterministic local-provider evidence. It is not a claim of
complete live-provider qualification.
## Risks
- This changes authenticated recovery and close ordering. The TypeScript
transport and runner binary must be built from the same revision.
- Failed or incomplete evidence intentionally prevents reuse and can
require a fresh run.
- PRP v1 ordinary/cold sessions remain supported. A v1 connection lease
cannot upgrade in place. A current v2-capable runner held on a v1 lease
was qualified through owned-process retirement/join, fresh bootstrap on
the same old authority, v2 observation/ACK, then warm rotation. Legacy
binary replacement and adopted-owner migration are not qualified by that
test; rollout must not present them as automatic same-lease upgrades.
- This pull request has no database migration or chat-channel
activation. The second pull request keeps the channel feature
experimental.
## Model Used
OpenAI Codex assisted with implementation, tool execution, tests, and
reconciliation. The existing implementation records OpenAI `gpt-6-astra`
assistance. The current environment does not report a context-window
size. No private reasoning traces are included.

## 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.
## Model Used

and browser inspection. The exact model variant and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

## 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.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex, with code editing, shell execution, tests,
and browser inspection. The exact model variant and context-window size
are not exposed in this session.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description
Refs #13038. This change incorporates the shared protocol-integrity and
bounded-cleanup prerequisites from that PR. It does not include the chat
feature. Related failure classification work: #13028.
**What happened?**
An informational provider notification for another thread could
terminate the root session. A failed stream could then become a
missing-result error and lose its cause.
**Expected behavior**
Ignore unrelated informational notices with bounded diagnostics. Reject
invalid authoritative events. Preserve the original failure code and
recovery meaning through cleanup.
**Steps to reproduce**
Run a native Codex task. Deliver a notification for an unrelated thread,
or close the stream after a structured failure. Inspect the root outcome
and recorded failure.
**Paperclip version or commit**
Reproduced before e20010472. This branch includes the current
session-goal contract from that commit.
**Deployment mode**
Built from source. Native runner with Codex.
## What Changed
- Classify root, provider-confirmed descendant, stale, unrelated, and
invalid provider events.
- Keep tool requests bound to their original execution authority.
- Preserve typed failures through transport, session, and durable
control-plane cleanup.
- Keep bounded cleanup failures separate from the primary execution
failure.
- Add compatible shared contracts for continuation context, execution
status, and explicit reconciliation. The dependent PR adds their server
and UI consumers.
## Verification
- Runner TypeScript and ACPX suites: 1,733 passed, 7 skipped. Node
contracts: 38 passed.
- Real provider-process fixtures cover 300 descendant identities across
restart, the 4,096-identity capacity boundary, and rejection of
continuation after terminal acknowledgement and restart.
- Repository build, typecheck, and full `pnpm test:run` passed on the
rebased stack (18,448 tests passed, 49 skipped). The full Rust workspace
passed with `--test-threads=1`; parallel execution exposed an existing
fixture port-reservation race. All latest-head CI checks passed. One
unchanged artifact-document concurrency test failed on the first CI run
and passed on its single rerun.
- Added notification, streaming failure, protocol integrity, cleanup
quarantine, and durable failure tests.
## Risks
Provider event classification must retain the new session-goal behavior
on master. Descendant notifications must never gain root tool authority.
Shared contract fields are additive. This PR does not migrate data or
start replacement provider work.
## Model Used
OpenAI GPT-6 through Codex. The exact deployment ID and context window
were not exposed. Used reasoning, tool use, code execution, and browser
automation.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Onboarding ends by handing a new user to their first agent on a
seeded first task
> - Today the wizard asks for a mission up front, the UI composes what
the agent is told, and the agent starts running before the user says
anything
> - New users get a cold, ticket-shaped start, and nobody can edit the
agent's brief or persona without a code change
> - This pull request makes the first task a short chat: a four-step
wizard, a chief-of-staff persona, a greeting plus a two-option opening
card, server-owned markdown texts, and no run until the user answers
> - It also gives question cards one consistent action row (Cancel /
Skip / Next), makes agent hires idempotent within a run, and turns the
Paperclip Runner flag on by default for self-hosted instances
> - The benefit is a first run the user steers, with texts a board
operator can edit as markdown
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
No public GitHub issue exists for this change. The feature request
fields follow.
Related PRs and issues:
- Refs #11043 — an earlier draft of the first-task onboarding
experience. This PR supersedes it.
- Refs #11280 — a report about the onboarding first-task route test.
This PR extends that test file.
### Subsystem affected
Onboarding wizard, the seeded first task and its texts, task-chat
question cards, agent hiring, and the instance experimental settings.
### Problem or motivation
The onboarding wizard collects a mission through two extra steps and a
questionnaire. The UI then composes the first agent's instructions and
the first task description from those answers. The first task wakes the
agent at once, so the agent runs and posts before the user types a word.
Board operators cannot change the greeting, the brief, or the persona
without editing TypeScript. Question cards in chat behave differently
per adapter, and a single-select pick submits on click. A misread hire
response could create a duplicate agent that the creating agent cannot
remove.
### Proposed solution
Reduce the wizard to four steps and stop the UI from authoring agent
texts. Move the greeting, the brief, the chief-of-staff persona, and the
opening question into markdown and JSON files that the server loads at
runtime. Seed the persona onto the first agent through an explicit hire
marker. Do not wake the first task until the user answers the opening
card or types. Give every question card the same Cancel / Skip / Next
actions. Add an experimental toggle that switches the single-task
proposal between one confirmation card and a plan document with a
checkbox card. Make agent hires idempotent within a run.
### Alternatives considered
- Keep the mission questionnaire and feed it into the brief. Rejected:
the agent asks better questions in chat, and the wizard gets shorter.
- Keep the first task open-ended with a plain composer. Rejected: a
two-option card gives the user a clear first move.
- Derive the plan-document behaviour from the user's intent only.
Rejected in favour of an explicit experimental toggle so operators can
choose.
- Key the "pick does not submit" behaviour off the presence of a submit
label. Rejected: several adapters set a submit label on single-select
cards, and their cards would change behaviour.
### Roadmap alignment
`ROADMAP.md` lists no planned core work on onboarding or the first task.
This change refines the existing flow and does not duplicate planned
work.
## What Changed
- Wizard: four steps (Name your organization, Create your first agent,
Connect a model, Review). The front door and both mission steps are
removed with their state and saved-progress keys. The UI no longer
composes the first agent's instructions or the first task description.
- Server-owned texts: the greeting, the brief with two proposal
variants, the chief-of-staff persona, the opening question, and a README
live in `server/src/onboarding-assets/first-task/` and load at runtime.
The create route stores the assembled brief and ignores any client
description.
- Persona seed: an `onboardingFirstAgent` marker on the hire lets the
server seed the chief-of-staff persona over the first agent's entry
file. Board-authored hires only. The persona tells the agent the hire
response shape and to list agents before it acts on an unclear result.
- No auto-run: the first task does not queue an assignment wake. The
stranded-assignment reconciler leaves it idle until a user comment or an
answered card exists.
- Opening card: the server seeds an `ask_user_questions` card right
after the greeting with two options: "Interview me and propose a plan
and an agent team to execute it." and "I have a task in mind" with free
text. Answering wakes the agent.
- Experimental toggle `enableFirstTaskPlanProposal` (default off): the
single-task proposal is one confirmation card, or a plan document plus a
checkbox card when on.
- Question cards: every `ask_user_questions` card renders Cancel, Skip,
and Next (the submit label on the last question). Skip hides on required
questions. Picking an option no longer advances or submits by itself.
- Wizard guards: the dashboard's agentless offer ignores a cached empty
agent list while a refetch is in flight. The hire step adopts an agent
that already carries the typed name instead of hiring "Name 2".
- Agent hires are idempotent within a run: a retry of the identical
request under the same run id returns the existing agent with `200` and
`idempotent: true`. The fingerprint covers the whole validated request,
so a corrected payload is a new hire. Lookup, create, and activity
record run under one lock per company and run, so overlapping retries
cannot both create.
- The Paperclip Runner experimental flag defaults to on for self-hosted
instances. Cloud keeps its declared default: a managed instance whose
tenant row and managed overlay omit the flag resolves it to off.
- Question cards: a send that finds an earlier required answer missing
returns to that question with a message instead of failing silently.
- The two onboarding e2e specs follow the new wizard: the front door and
growth intake shots are gone, and the planning-mode spec dismisses the
opening card before it reads the composer.
- Docs: `docs/board-operator/editing-first-task-texts.md` explains how
to edit the texts and the toggle.
## Verification
Commands, run from the repo root:
```
pnpm -r --filter './packages/*' --filter '!@paperclipai/paperclip-runner' build
pnpm --filter ./packages/shared typecheck
pnpm --filter ./ui typecheck
pnpm --filter ./server exec tsc --noEmit
pnpm check:token-gates
pnpm --filter ./ui exec vitest run OnboardingWizard onboarding QuestionForm InteractionCard ProtocolCard TaskChatComposer Dashboard feature
PAPERCLIP_IN_WORKTREE=false pnpm --filter ./server exec vitest run onboarding-first-task heartbeat-process-recovery agent-hire-idempotency instance-settings agent-skills-routes issue-onboarding onboarding-greeting --testTimeout=90000
```
Results on this branch:
- Typecheck is clean for shared, ui, and server.
- Token gates: 4 of 4 clean.
- UI: 344 tests pass across 23 files.
- Server: all suites pass. The first test in `agent-skills-routes` has
its own 10 s cap and needs about 15 s on my laptop for the app cold
start. It passes with a longer cap. This PR does not change that cap.
Manual steps on a dev instance:
1. Open `/onboarding`. Confirm four steps: Name your organization,
Create your first agent, Connect a model, Review.
2. Finish the wizard. Confirm the first task shows the chief-of-staff
greeting and the opening card with two options. Confirm no run starts.
3. Pick "Interview me…". Confirm no run starts. Press Continue. Confirm
a run starts and an interview card of 3–4 questions arrives.
4. On a fresh organization, pick "I have a task in mind", type a task,
and press Continue. Confirm a proposal arrives as one confirmation card.
5. Turn on Settings → Experimental → "First task: propose with a plan
document" and repeat step 4. Confirm a plan document and a checkbox card
arrive.
6. Visit the dashboard after the hire. Confirm the wizard does not
reopen and one agent exists.
7. Open any question card. Confirm Cancel returns the plain composer
with the card still pending, Skip advances an optional question, and
Next moves to the next question.

## Risks
- `pnpm dev` now builds the runner daemon because the Paperclip Runner
flag is on by default. Developers without a Rust toolchain must set
`PAPERCLIP_RUNNER_BINARY` or turn the flag off. Self-hosted instances
that never set the flag now let qualified agents use the runner.
- The wizard drops the mission steps and their saved-progress keys. A
user who is mid-wizard on an older build restarts at step 1 after an
upgrade. Existing organizations are not touched.
- The first task no longer runs on its own. A user who neither answers
the card nor types sees no agent activity. This is intended.
- The persona seed applies only to hires that carry the marker from the
wizard. API hires are unchanged.
- Hire idempotency is scoped to one run id and to the exact request.
Retries across runs, or with a changed payload, still create a second
agent. The lock is per server process, which matches how an instance
serves its API.
- Single-select question cards no longer submit on pick. Users of
adapters that relied on that behaviour now press Next.
- No database migrations.

experiences
## Linked Issues or Issue Description
**What happened?**
Sign in with Codex works during onboarding but not on the agent detail
page. The operator completes the device-code login. The panel reports
success. The Test button still reports that authentication is needed. No
number of repeat logins changes the result.
Three defects combine to cause this:
1. The device-login promotion only wrote the company default Codex home
when that home held no shape-valid credential. A stale credential (for
example a symlink to an old host login) blocked the write forever, so
the fresh login stayed invisible to the Test.
2. The seeding pass that runs before every probe and execute replaced a
same-identity regular-file `auth.json` with a symlink to the host
credential, with no freshness comparison. Even a freshly promoted
credential was deleted on the next Test.
3. The sandbox hello probe always staged the company default home. An
agent with a configured `CODEX_HOME` was tested against one credential
and ran with another.
**Expected behavior**
A completed sign-in updates the credential the Test probes. The Test
stages the same Codex home a real run resolves. A stale credential never
outranks a strictly newer one from an interactive login.
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Configure a company whose Codex home holds a shape-valid credential
that no longer authenticates (for example an old host login symlink).
2. Open a `codex_local` agent's detail page with a sandbox environment
and press Test. The result shows the authentication-needed check.
3. Complete the "Sign in with Codex" device-code flow from the panel.
4. Press Test again. Before this change the result still shows
authentication needed.
## What Changed
- `packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/adapter-auth-promotion.ts`:
the promotion writes the company default home unconditionally. The
shared `last_refresh` merge predicate scopes the write. It seeds an
absent or unusable slot, refreshes a same-identity slot only with a
strictly newer credential, and keeps a slot a different account or an
API-key file holds. The atomic rename replaces a symlinked `auth.json`
at the link itself. It never writes through into the host home.
- `packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/codex-home.ts`: the
same-identity heal in `seedManagedCodexHome` is freshness-aware. A
regular-file credential is swapped for the shared symlink only when the
shared source is strictly fresher by `last_refresh`. Ties and
unparseable timestamps keep the file, which matches the predicate's
fail-closed direction. A genuine stale copy still heals as soon as the
host credential rotates past it.
- `packages/adapters/codex-local/src/server/test.ts`: the sandbox hello
probe prepares and stages the same home a real run resolves. The
identity-anchored cache vend runs first. A configured managed
`CODEX_HOME` is seeded in place and staged. A genuine external override
is staged as-is and never seeded or mutated.
- Tests: new pins for the strictly-newer company-home refresh, the
different-account keep, the symlink-replaced-without-writing-its-target
property, the freshness-aware heal (newer kept, older healed, ties
kept), the configured-home staging, and the external-home no-mutation
proof. The remote-probe suite now pins `CODEX_HOME`/`PAPERCLIP_HOME` to
scratch directories so no test can touch a real `~/.codex`.
## Verification
- `pnpm exec vitest run packages/adapters/codex-local/src --root
packages/adapters/codex-local` — 378 passed, 1 skipped.
- Server suites for device login, reconciliation, and the codex adapter
(8 files) — 128 passed, 15 skipped.
- `tsc --noEmit` clean in the adapter package.
## Risks
- Behavioral shift is scoped by the shared merge predicate: only a
strictly newer same-identity login can displace a company-home
credential, so a second account still never takes over the company slot,
and API-key files are never displaced.
- The heal keeps ties and unparseable timestamps instead of swapping. A
kept file self-corrects on a later seed once the source is provably
fresher; deleting a promoted credential is irreversible, so the failure
direction is chosen deliberately.
- The probe change makes the Test exercise the credential a run uses. A
Test that previously passed against the company home while the agent's
configured home was broken now fails honestly.
## Model Used
Claude (Anthropic) — Claude Fable 5 (`claude-fable-5`), extended
thinking, agentic tool use in Claude Code (terminal). Diagnosis traced
through the live promotion locks, the on-disk Codex homes, and the
adapter's credential-resolution code paths.
**Related PRs (searched; no duplicates found):** #12740, #12082, and
#9621 touch adjacent Codex credential sync paths; #8495 is the standing
hardening effort for probe auth seeding.

## 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
